I've read that it's a good idea to book ferries within the Yaeyama islands in advance, but I'm having trouble figuring out how. There are many ferry websites with imperfect English translations, and it's not clear to me when tickets will be available for our dates (October 25-28). Currently, it looks like I can only book through the month of September. I have been trying to use these two websites: https://aneikankou.co.jp/ https://yaeyama.co.jp/ which I think are different companies, but with basically the same offering. I'm not sure if they are meaningfully different.
Can anyone advise?
