Sanji,

     I have read through the string and that is what got me to register here. My real concerns right now are first that I have heard that they no longer offer a ferry from Naha to ishigaki and that the only way to get there is by airplane. This might end up being too expensive to take a group of boys.

      Second is that this trip is going to be on foot as much as possible with backpacks. I found that there are like 4 different camp sites to stay at, but I wanted them to be able to stay at least one night in the jungle. I have found tours that cost around 400000 yen that will do this, but I am really trying to save on the cost. Are there areas that are not an established camp site that you know of that we are alowed to stay over night at. The more rustic the better.

      I am sorry to bother you with so may questions, but as for right now this forum is the only lead that I have right now.

Paul
