Can I fish from shore on Ishigaki?

I'm planning to visit Ishigaki island this spring and thought I would bring my own fishing equipment. Am I allowed to fish from shore on Ishigaki? Do I need a fishing license and where can I buy it?

No need fishing license and fishing area enter fee no worry.
But you have to study about local dangerers before fishing.

If want larger one book boat fishing recommend.

Anyway visit local fishing tackle shop first.
