Choosing the right points 適切なポイント選び

Reviewed by: 怖いものが好きなおじさん

Thank you for responding so well to my selfish request. The night tour, which can be easily affected by the weather, was handled excellently. You chose the best course and points based on the weather conditions at that time, allowing for a satisfying observation. Thank you very much.

こちらの我儘なお願いに対して、しっかりと対応していただき感謝しています。
天候などに左右されやすいナイトツアーでしたが、その時の天候状況から最善の成果が出るようなコースとポイントを選択していただき、満足できる観察ができました。
ありがとうございました。

Amami Oshima Night Tour 奄美大島ナイトツアー

Reviewed by: ネコちゃんココア

Since they are wild animals, whether you encounter them is left to chance, but there are not many tours available for solo travelers, so I was able to use a private tour even as a single person.

自然の動物なので、遭遇できるかはその時任せではありますが、1人からのツアーがなかなか無く、1人でも貸切で利用させて頂きました。

I recommend the Amami Oshima Night Tour. お勧めします、奄美大島ナイトツアー

Reviewed by: Pough

It was a very enjoyable and content-rich two hours.
I could hear the cries of the black rabbits among the animals that appeared in the pitch black, and the sky was filled with stars with few clouds.
On the forest road chosen by Mr. Kawashima, many black rabbits and Amami woodcocks welcomed us, and I was also able to see the rare Amami ishi-kawa frog.
While it can be affected by the weather and other night tours, I highly recommend this tour guided by Mr. Kawashima for 1 to 2 people.

非常に楽しく内容濃い2時間でした。
漆黒の中に現れる動物達、黒ウサギの鳴き声も聞け
雲も少なく満点の星空付きでした。
川島さんの選んだ林道で多くの黒ウサギとアマミヤマシギが出迎えてくれ、
珍しいアマミイシカワガエルも見ることができました。
天候や他のナイトツアーに影響を受けますが
是非、川島さんガイドで１～２名向きのツアーです。
利用される事をお勧めします。

This is the best memory from the trip. この旅行で一番の思い出です

I appreciated that this tour allows solo participants and provides transportation to and from the hotel, which is a rarity among many tours where participants must make their own way to the meeting point. Our guide, Mr. Kawashima, drove slowly while pointing out various creatures. During the tour, we encountered 5 to 6 Amami rabbits, observing them eating grass and fallen leaves, as well as climbing the slopes into the forest. We also saw the Ryukyu scops owl, the Ryukyu rat, the Ryukyu wild boar, and two types of frogs.

We learned about animal communication through the sounds of the rabbits and the different calls of the Ryukyu scops owl, as individuals responded to each other from a distance. Additionally, we were moved by the breathtaking starry sky when we got out of the car! Under the stars, a few fireflies were also dancing around.

Mr. Kawashima explained everything in a calm and pleasant manner, making for a very valuable and luxurious experience. It seems that reports of rabbits being killed by cars are not uncommon. I believe that the creatures and scenery we encounter can vary depending on the weather and the day's circumstances, but this tour not only allows us to be amazed by precious wildlife and beautiful starry skies but also encourages thoughts on the importance of protecting wildlife, ecosystems, and nature, while hoping for a harmonious balance with tourism and development. It’s a tour that also provides insight into the background of the area being designated as a World Heritage site!

ひとり参加ができること、集合場所に各自で向かうツアーが多いなか、宿泊しているホテルへの送迎があることが有り難かったです。
ガイドの川島さんが車をゆっくり走らせながら生き物を見つけて教えてくださいます。ツアー中、本命のアマミノクロウサギは5〜6羽に出会うことができ、草や落葉を食べる様子や山の斜面を登り森に入って行く姿、他にもリュウキュウコノハズク、ケナガネズミ、リュウキュウイノシシ、2種類のカエルも見ることができました。
ウサギの鳴き声、リュウキュウコノハズクの種類の違う鳴き声に離れた場所にいる個体同士が鳴き声に呼応し合う様子など耳からも生き物のコミュニケーションを知ることができました。
また、途中で車を降りて満天の星空にも感動！星空の下、数匹のホタルも舞っていました。
ガイドの川島さんは心地よい穏やかな語り口で丁寧に説明してくださり、そのお話も含めてとても貴重で贅沢な時間が過ごせました。ウサギが車に轢かれて死亡する報告も少なくないようです。天候やその日の縁で出会う生き物や景色も異なると思いますが、貴重な生き物やきれいな星空に感動するだけでなく、生き物や生態系・自然を守ることと、観光や開発が上手く調和してほしいなと感じたり、世界遺産に登録された背景も知ることができるツアーです！

I encountered a total of 7 dreamlike rabbits! 憧れのクロウサギ、なんと7羽に遭遇‼

Reviewed by: KEIKEI

Despite it being a night tour, the weather forecast predicted rain. The day before, we had a detailed discussion about ① the possibility of a weather forecast error, ② what to do in case of light rain, and ③ what to do in case of heavy rain. On the day of the tour, we decided to go ahead despite the "weather that might go from light rain to heavy rain." As a result, it turned out to be a very satisfying tour where we encountered seven birds. Their short ears, short legs, and gestures were incredibly moving and cute.

I was trying to spot them myself in the center of the vehicle, fully focused and alert, but it was all thanks to our guide, Mr. Kawashima, that we found them. Unfortunately, I couldn't capture any good photo opportunities, so I have no pictures to show. For those participating in the tour who want to take at least one photo, it might be better to leave the spotting to Mr. Kawashima and be ready to "click the shutter at any time."

Additionally, we saw the Amami woodcock just sitting on a tree, the calls of the Japanese scops owl, and the green snake raising its head high, among others. Thanks to Mr. Kawashima's attentive guidance and appropriate local information, we had a very fruitful and valuable experience that went by in a flash. Thank you very much.

Unfortunately, the photos I took are not good enough to upload. I apologize for that.

ナイトツアーなのに天気予報は雨。
前日から　①天気予報の間違い　②小雨の場合　③土砂降りの場合
と、綿密な打ち合わせをして下さいました。
　で、当日は「小雨から本降り　かもしれない天候」の中、思い切って決行。
結果は、7羽に遭えるという、とても満足なツアーになりました。
短い耳、短い脚、しぐさ、とても感動的でかわいい。
　車の中央で自分で見つけようと、180度神経を研ぎ澄ましていましたが、見つけたのは、すべてガイドの川島さん。シャッターチャンスを上手くつかめず、残念ながら1枚も写真が残りませんでした。
ツアーに参加される方で、1枚でも写真を残したい方は、発見は川島さんにお任せし、「何時でもシャッター」で、スタンバイされた方が良いかもしれません。
　その他、ぼーっと木に止まっているだけのアマミヤマシギ、声だけのコノハズク、鎌首を思いっ切りもたげたアオヘビ、等々。
ガイドの川島さんの、丁寧なご対応と適切な現地案内のお陰で、
あっという間の、とても実りのある貴重な体験をさせて頂きました。
本当に、ありがとうございました。
なお、残念な写真ばかりで、アップロードに耐えられません。申し訳ございません。
