About Yonehara Reef
Yonehara Reef sits off the northern part of Ishigaki Island near Kawadaira. The site features a shallow coral shelf that transitions into deeper sandy areas, creating a varied profile across the reef. A shelf around 5–6 m drops to sand at roughly 20–25 m, with coral-rich roots and dense growth of branching, table, and eddy corals. Fish life includes damselfish, butterflyfish, and red-headed flounder commonly seen around the shelf and reef structure.
