Take a stroll around Ishigaki Island's "Painushima Ishigaki Airport."

I visit Ishigaki Island several times a year, and my favorite airline is JTA.
The moment I stepped on the plane, I fell in love with the flight attendants' Kariyushi uniforms. It felt so Okinawan and I felt a sense of closeness to them.
The uniforms have recently changed, and they are sewn in Okinawa Prefecture.
I also love the in-flight announcement "shimakutuba" and listen to it every time.
Apparently, shimakutuba is slightly different in each region of Okinawa, and this shimakotuba in-flight announcement is used differently on the Naha-Kumejima, Miyakojima, and Ishigakijima routes.  
By the way, on the Ishigaki route
Kee-ran-nera, kuyoon-na-ra. Kyuya, JTA-nka, nuri-hyoi-riri, shikatto, ni-fai-yu.
I think they are very warm words.
I look forward to the day when I can fly JTA again, which makes my heart warm.
Ishigaki Airport Address:
1960-104-1 Shiraho, Ishigaki City, Okinawa Prefecture, 907-0242
