Her next World Championships came in 2008, where the Japanese women (along with Team China) became the first team from the Pacific region to qualify for the Playoffs at the World Championships. Ishizaki and her team, skipped by Moe Meguro, defeated Team Switzerland in the 3 vs. 4 Playoff match. In the Semifinal, they nearly defeated Team Canada and went to the Bronze Medal match to face a rematch against Team Switzerland. They would lose this match 9 - 7, which would become the second-best performance by a Pacific region team at the Curling World Championships.
Ishizaki was chosen as an alternate member for Team Japan at the 2022 Winter Olympics, in which they won first-ever silver medals. Ishizaki became the oldest Japanese athlete to win a medal at the Winter Olympics at age 43 years and 1 month, surpassing Noriaki Kasai, who won 2 medals at the 2014 Winter Olympics at age 41 years and 8 months.
