Miss International 2012 Contestants : Photos (Oct 15), Miyako and Ishigaki Island (part 1)

Today the girls ( split into two groups) had early morning flights separately to the Miyako and Ishigaki Island. Miyako Island (Miyakojima), located 300 kilometers south of Okinawa Main Island and 100 kilometers north of the Yaeyama Islands, is known for some of Japan's best beaches and as a great destination for snorkeling and diving in the coral reefs. While the Ishigaki Islands is the main island of the Yaeyama Islands and hosts Japan's southernmost city. The first stop was the southern corner of Miyako-jima where the girls took leisurely walk out to explore Cape Higashi-henna's surreal landscape.

The girls also visited the Ueno German Culture Village, based on the city of Stade, Germany in commemoration of the exchanges between Germany and Miyako-jima Island. After a brief break for lunch at the Tokyu Hotel that included grand welcoming sprites for their international guests, the ladies visited the Snow Salt factory, Kaichu Koen Park and Kingdom of flowers.
