Depends on someone's definition of fun. I had a great time snorkelling, scuba diving, eating and lying on the beach when I went to Ishigaki.

In mainland Japan, I am afraid Japan is the wrong country for beautiful, laidback coastal scenery, this country is very developed and the coastline anywhere near any city and even in the rural areas tends to be concreted over/garbage covered. Ishigaki Island however is just beautiful- and a loooong way from mainland Japan.
