About Osaki Minokasago Kyuden
Osaki Minokasago Kyuden is a boat-access macro site on Ishigaki where a sandy slope and scattered reef structure pull in dense fish life. The deeper outer section is known for lionfish, leaf scorpionfish, garden eels, gobies, ribbon eels, and other small subjects, while the shallower edge holds anthias and schooling fish. Plan for a guided boat dive that rewards calm weather, steady buoyancy, and unhurried time over the sand and structure.
