Hanazawa Drop
★★★★☆
(25)
Hanazawa Drop in Yonehara, Ishigaki, features a drop-off and rich macro life. At 22m, a small root hosts scorpionfish, ribbonfish, and shrimp, often cleaned by bluefin groupers. With calm currents, it’s an easy, enjoyable site for both beginners and intermediate divers.
Hanazawa Drop hosts scarletts, ribbonfish, red-shimmer and blue-spotted shrimp, plus rooted fish like blue-ringed and Kerama snappers.
