All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

Initially, I was scheduled to go to Balas Island, but due to weather conditions, it was changed to caving and canyoning. The mangroves were breathtaking. I was truly moved. Canyoning was a bit scary, but I was able to fully enjoy the great outdoors, something I don't experience in my daily life. The guide was fun and interesting, and the photos they took were all wonderful.
However, due to the state of emergency, most of the recommended shops were closed during the day, which was disappointing. I think it would be very helpful if you could do some research in advance.

当初バラス島に行く予定でしたが、天候の影響によりケービングとキャニオニングに変更になりました。マングローブは圧巻でした。感動しました。キャニオニングは少し怖かったですが、日常で味わうことのない大自然を満喫できました。ガイドの方が楽しく面白く説明してくださり、撮ってくださった写真も素晴らしいものばかりでした。
ただ、緊急事態宣言下ということもあり、昼にお勧めして頂いたお店がほとんど閉まっており、残念でした。事前に調査して頂けるととても助かると思います。

I participated in a day trip from Ishigaki Island. The waves were calm, and the boat ride was hardly shaky, which heightened my expectations for snorkeling at Barasu Island. Upon arriving at the Uehara Port on Iriomote Island, I quickly met up with the tour guide. Due to the tides, we were scheduled to visit Barasu Island in the morning and go mangrove canoeing in the afternoon. I borrowed the necessary equipment and boarded the boat. Onboard, the guide carefully explained how to use the equipment, making it easy for beginners to understand. After about ten minutes, we arrived at Barasu Island. Unfortunately, the island was not visible above the water that day, but the shallow waters reached up to my knees, and I could really feel that this was Barasu Island. We then began snorkeling. The water was very clear, and I was able to see colorful fish gathered around the coral reefs. Additionally, I was lucky enough to encounter a sea turtle while it was feeding. After finishing snorkeling, we returned to Uehara Port for lunch. We ate at a diner near the port and prepared for the canoe tour. After a short drive, the canoe tour began. Guided by our guide's thorough explanations, we paddled up the Kura River. The guide provided insights about the flora and fauna along the way, which was very educational. After paddling for a while, we got out of the canoe and walked to Kura Falls. Although the temperature exceeded 30 degrees Celsius, the area around the waterfall felt refreshing and cool. It was a fantastic experience to enjoy both the sea and mountains of Iriomote Island in one day.

石垣島からの日帰りで参加しました。波は穏やかで行きの船もほとんど揺れず、バラス島シュノーケリングへの期待が高まります。西表島上原港に到着すると、さっそくツアーガイドの方と合流。この日は潮の関係で午前中にバラス島、午後にマングローブカヌーとのこと。早速道具一式をお借りして船に乗り込みます。船上では道具の付け方など丁寧に説明していただき、初心者でもすぐ理解することができました。10分ほどでバラス島に到着。この日はあいにく海面に島は出ていませんでしたが、膝くらいまでの浅瀬になっており、ここがバラス島なのだと実感が湧きました。そこからシュノーケルを開始。海はとても透明度が高く、サンゴ礁に集うカラフルな魚たちを見ることができました。また、運よく食事中のウミガメにも遭遇できました。シュノーケルを終えると、いったん上原港に戻り昼食です。港近くの食堂で食べ、カヌーツアーに備えます。その後、少し車で移動し、カヌーツアーがスタート。ガイドさんの丁寧な案内のもとクーラ川を上っていきます。都度動植物の解説をしてくださり、とても勉強になりました。ある程度上り終わると、カヌーを降りて歩きでクーラの滝へ。気温は30度を超えていましたが、滝の周りは清涼感があり、とても涼しく感じました。1日で西表島の海と山の魅力をどちらも体感でき、最高の体験となりました。

I was able to experience the unique mangrove forests of Iriomote Island through kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, as well as trekking to appreciate the abundant nature of the island. If I had gone to Iriomote Island on my own without participating in such a tour, I wouldn't have felt that connection to nature. I was also thrilled to go snorkeling at Barasu Island, which I had longed to visit. This is definitely a place you can't easily reach on your own. The tour fees were quite high, but it was worth it. If I could wish for more, I would have liked to try free diving at Barasu (laughs).

西表島ならではのマングローブ林カヤックやSUP,、トレッキングで西表島の溢れる自然を確認できました。このようなツアーに参加せず個人で西表島に行ってもそんな自然は感じられなかったでしょう。 そしてバラス島に憧れていたのでシュノーケリングできて嬉しかったです。 これも個人ではまず行けないところです。 ツアー代金はけっこうかかりますがその価値はありました。 欲を言えばバラスで素潜りしたかった(笑)

This was the first time I encountered a starry sky that could change my life. Under the beautiful starry sky, I was able to take stunning photos. When I was unsure about poses, they kindly advised me on which poses to do. Since we were the last group, we even received explanations about the stars using glow sticks, making it a truly meaningful experience. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is considering it. It was the most memorable part of my trip to Miyako Island, and I truly want to come back.

ここまで人生を変えるような星空に出会えたのは初めてです。
綺麗な星空の下でとても綺麗に写真を撮っていただきました。またポーズに戸惑っていたら親切にどのポーズをしたら良いか教えていただきました。私たちは最後の組でしたのでペンライトを用いて星についての解説までしていただいて本当に有意義な時間を過ごすことができました。
このツアーの迷っている方は絶対参加することをおすすめします。宮古島旅行で一番印象に残りましたし、また来たいと本当に思えました。

I was fortunate to have my photos taken on a night when the stars were incredibly beautiful. It was the first time I could clearly see the Milky Way with my own eyes, and it was perfectly captured in the photos! I left the poses and items entirely up to the photographer, who gave clear instructions and made the process smooth. Not only did we do the shoot, but we also talked a lot about constellations, making it a romantic experience. It was a wonderful memory from our honeymoon!

As a note, it's obvious, but the shooting location is in complete darkness with no lights. I recommend preparing for bugs and wearing comfortable clothing for walking.

運良く星がとても綺麗な夜に撮影していただきました⭐︎
天の川が肉眼ではっきりと確認できたのは初めてですし、写真にもばっちり映してもらいました！
ポーズやアイテムは全てお任せにしましたが、テキパキと指示していただきスムーズに進みました。
撮影だけではなく、星座のお話も沢山していただきロマンチックな時間になりました。
新婚旅行の素敵な思い出です♪
注意点として、当たり前ですが撮影場所は灯ひとつない暗闇です。虫対策と歩きやすい格好で行くことをおすすめします。

Due to the restrictions on going out during the COVID-19 pandemic, I felt a lack of exercise and participated in a walking tour. The guide from Hakone was friendly and explained various plants, flowers, and birds native to Hakone, as well as shared other walking routes, making it a very interesting experience beyond just walking. We took a break by Lake Ashi; although the weather was cloudy, the breeze was very pleasant. The route was about an hour from the meeting point at the visitor center, and after the tour, I relaxed in a hot spring in Hakone, followed by a beer that was exceptional! It turned out to be a fulfilling holiday, different from my usual routine. Next, I would like to try a trekking tour.

コロナ禍の外出自粛により、運動不足を感じておりウォーキングツアーに参加してきました。箱根出身のガイドさんは気さくな方で箱根に生息している草木花や鳥について色々説明してくださったり、他のウォーキングのコースを教えてくださったり、ただ歩くだけではない大変興味深いウォーキングとなりました。途中休憩は芦ノ湖畔で、天気は曇り空でしたが、風が大変気持ちよかったです。集合場所であるビジターセンターから1時間ほどのルートでしたが、ツアーが終わった後は箱根の温泉で汗を流し、その後のビールはまた格別！で普段とは違う充実した休日となりました。次はトレッキングツアーに参加してみたいです。　　　

The "Sagaribana," which blooms only on summer nights and is said to bring good fortune, was a truly magical and moving experience with its special atmosphere during this time. At Jungle Night, I was thrilled to enjoy various creatures like coconut crabs, hermit crabs, giant eels, and freshwater prawns! For stargazing, I was able to lay on a mat at the observation deck and gaze up at the starry sky while listening to the sound of the waves, spending a luxurious time. The guide was very attentive, and I was glad to have experienced such a satisfying night on Iriomote Island!

夏の夜にだけ咲くという「幸運が訪れる」サガリバナ鑑賞では、この時期だけの特別感がありとても幻想的で感動しました。ジャングルナイトではヤシガニやヤドカリ、オオウナギ、テナガエビなど色んな生き物をワクワクしながら楽しむことができました！星空観察は、展望台でマットを敷いて寝そべって星空を見上げることができ、波の音を聞きながら贅沢な時間を過ごすことができました。担当ガイドさんには丁寧に対応していただき、とても満足した夜の西表島の時間を体験できて良かったです！

On the day of the tour, there were three participants (each with one participant). Thanks to Kaido, everyone was able to safely and refreshingly make the round trip to Jomon Sugi. We enjoyed two viewings of Jomon Sugi, took several adequate breaks, and descended around 3:30 PM. Thanks to the precise instructions regarding rest points, we weren't too tired, and we are grateful for that.

What I found great about this tour was that the guide was professional. 1) They care for the forest and actively speak to those smoking in the mountains (who are not participants of this tour). 2) We learned the rules of the forest, such as prioritizing those going uphill. 3) While some guides we encountered in the forest were lightly dressed (in shorts and without backpacks), our guide was equipped with an extra day's worth of food and various tools for emergencies, allowing us to enjoy the experience with peace of mind. Thank you very much.

This may be outside the purpose of the tour, but I have a couple of pieces of advice... 1) The images from the guide's digital camera were quite grainy, so for those considering posting on social media, I recommend taking personal photos. 2) Not all guides provide coffee or miso soup, so if you want something warm to enjoy during breaks, it might be good to bring your own. These are two pieces of advice for other participants!

当日は、3名の参加者(皆一名参加)でした。
カイドさんのおかげで、皆安全に、また爽快に縄文杉までの往復ができました。2回の縄文杉鑑賞、数度の十分な休憩を行い、下山は午後3:30 ごろで、休憩ポイント等の的確な指示のおかげで、そこまで疲れることもなく、感謝です。

こちらのツアーで良いなと思った所は、ガイドさんがプロフェッショナルであること。1)森を大切にされており、山中で喫煙等をしている方(本ツアーの参加者ではない)に積極的な声かけをしていること。2)上り優先等の、森でのルールが学べること。3)森の中で見かけるガイドさんによっては軽装の方(半ズボン、リュックなし)も存在する中、こちらのガイドさんはプラス1日分の食料や何かあったときのための様々なツールを持ち合わされており、安心して楽しむことができました。ありがとうございました。

ツアーの趣旨とは外れますのであくまでアドバイスになりますが。。。1)ガイドさんのデジカメの画像が非常に荒いため、SNS等へのアップを考えられている方は、個人での撮影をお勧め。2)コーヒーやお味噌汁の提供はガイドさん皆が行っているわけではないため、温かい物で休みたい方は持参するのもいいかも。以上２点が他の参加者さんへのアドバイスです！

I participated in a plan that included a limestone cave, SUP, and canyoning. Initially, the plan was to land on Barasu Island, but due to weather conditions, it was changed to canyoning.

I was a bit anxious since I had never done SUP before, but I was able to paddle happily without falling, even as a beginner! The guide taught us various things about the unique nature of Iriomote Island, including insects, lizards, flowers, and trees, which was very meaningful.

Canyoning involved diving into waterfalls, swimming, and sliding down, which was scary but felt amazing! You will basically get wet! I recommend using a waterproof camera. However, the guide took plenty of photos and sent the data on the same day, so it was all good.

鍾乳洞&SUP&キャニオニングのプランに参加しました。当初、バラス島上陸のプランでしたが、天候の都合によりキャニオニングに変更になりました。
SUPはやったことがなかったので不安だったのですが、初心者でも落ちることなく楽しく漕ぐことができました！虫やトカゲ、花や木など西表島固有の自然のこともガイドさんに色々教えていただき有意義でした。
キャニオニングは滝つぼにダイブしたり、泳いだり、滑り台をしたり、怖かったけどすごく気持ちよかったです！
基本的に水に濡れます！カメラは防水をオススメします。でも、ガイドさんがたくさん撮ってくれて、当日中にデータを送ってくれたので大丈夫でした。

I participated with two friends as a final memory of my 50s. It was my first experience with stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), and I was able to stand up and paddle through a river lined with mangroves. Along the way, we went trekking and explored the jungle while wading up to our waists! I also saw the "sagaribana," which can only be seen once a year, for the first time. At the Kuura Falls, I was able to recharge my energy. Our guide was kind and interacted with us, who were moving at a slower pace, with a smile while explaining various things as we progressed.

Snorkeling at Balas Island was also wonderful; we enjoyed the beautiful sea with coral and tropical fish, and we even encountered a turtle. It was definitely an experience worth having at least once in a lifetime.

50代最後の思い出にと女子3人で参加しました。
初めてのSUP体験でしたが立つこともできマングローブの生い茂る川を進み、途中トレッキングで腰まで浸かりながらジャングル探検！年に一度しか見れない「サガリバナ」も初めて見ました。クーラ滝ではいっぱいパワーチャージできました。ガイドさんも親切でペースの遅い私たちにも笑顔で接し色々説明しながら進んでくれました。
バラス島でのシュノーケリングも綺麗な海で珊瑚や熱帯魚を満喫し、亀にも出会えました。人生一度は体験する価値ありでした。

The trekking we had planned was canceled due to weather conditions, so we quickly requested a tour around the island, and it turned out to be much more enjoyable than we expected. The tour included points not found in guidebooks, areas that would be difficult to drive on your own, and explanations about the history and villages, which were extremely valuable. The recommended dining spots were also delicious. For those visiting the island for the first time, I recommend using this service at least once to get a guided experience.

予定していたトレッキングが、天候の影響で中止になってしまい、島一周ツアーを急遽お願いしたのですが、予想の何倍も楽しめました。
ガイドブックに載っていないポイントや、自分では運転が困難な箇所へのツアー、歴史や集落の解説等、非常の価値ある内容でした。
オススメして頂いた食事処も美味しかったです。島が初めての方は最初に一度利用してガイドしてもらうことをお勧めします。

I was nervous about whether I could ride a SUP for the first time, but thanks to the instructor's clear explanations and support, I was able to stay on without falling even once! The instructor was friendly, easy to talk to, and funny, making the experience very enjoyable. The sea was a bit rough, so we couldn't go too far, but I was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery and the ocean. I would like to try again when the sea is calm!

In the afternoon, I was taken to a very beautiful snorkeling spot where I saw sea turtles multiple times. We took a lot of photos, creating wonderful memories.

はじめてのSUPで、うまく乗ることができるか不安でしたがインストラクターの方のわかりやすい説明とサポートのおかげで一度も落ちずに乗れました！インストラクターの方は気さくで話しやすくおもしろい方でとても楽しく体験することができました。少し海が荒れていて、遠くまでは行けませんでしたが、綺麗な景色と海を堪能できました。また海の穏やかなときに再チャレンジしたいです！
午後はシュノーケリングでとてもきれいなスポットへ連れて行っていただき何度も海ガメに会えました。写真もたくさん撮っていただき、よい思い出になりました。

The day before was cloudy, so I had almost given up on the shoot being postponed. I was anxious about the weather on the day itself, but I was moved by the stunning starry sky that exceeded my expectations. It was the first time I could see the Milky Way so clearly. The photographer was also a wonderful person, playing music during the shoot and providing kind support, making it a fun time. Thank you very much.

前の日は曇りだったので撮影が延期になってほぼ諦めていた状況でした。
当日のお天気も不安でしたが、期待以上の満点の星空で感動しました。
こんなに天の川がはっきりと見えたのは初めてでした。
カメラマンさんも素敵な方で、撮影中も音楽を流して下さったり、優しい対応で楽しい時間でした。
ありがとうございました。

We took photos to commemorate our wedding anniversary✨ It was such a wonderful experience⭐︎ The starry sky was amazing and moving! The fun conversations really lifted our spirits, and all the finished photos turned out beautifully! The original props also stood out‼️ (laughs) They were very attentive in handling schedule adjustments due to the weather, and the delivery was smooth. My husband seemed to have a great time too, as he was captivated by the delivered photos, saying "Wow! Amazing!!" Next time, we’d like to request a starry sky navigation♫ And when we return to Miyako Island, we’ll definitely reach out again♫

結婚記念日の思い出に撮影しました✨とても素敵な体験でした⭐︎凄い星空で感動！楽しいトーク盛り上げてくださり、笑顔を引き出してくれる撮影で、仕上がった写真も素敵な写真ばかり！　オリジナルの小物達がまた映える‼️（笑）　天候による日程の相談なども丁寧に対応くださり、納品もスムーズでした　
旦那さまもとても楽しかった様子で、納品された写真をほーっ！すごーい！！と見入っていました
今度は星空ナビをお願いします♫ そして、また宮古島に帰ったらお願いします♫

I joined a tour because I wanted to see the coconut crab and tropical plants that can only be found in Okinawa. I was able to witness the real ecology of the coconut crab climbing cliffs and resting on plants.

Not only did I see coconut crabs, but I also encountered spiders, various types of butterflies, geckos, large hermit crabs, land crabs, stick insects, and fireflies, making it a valuable experience.

Walking through the jungle, I was moved by the stunning starry sky. The guides provided clear explanations about the plants and animals we encountered, adjusting to our pace, which made for a very fulfilling time.

I felt that Miyako Island is an attractive place not only during the day by the sea but also at night. Thank you very much.

沖縄にしかいないヤシガニや熱帯植物を見たいと思いツアーに参加しました。ヤシガニが崖を登っているところや植物の上にいるところなどリアルな生態を見ることができました。
ヤシガニだけでなく、クモ、色んな種類の蝶々、ヤモリ、大きなヤドカリ、オカガニ、ナナフシ、ホタルなども見ることができ貴重な体験をすることができました。
またジャングルの中を歩いた先には満点の星空で感動しました。ガイドさんたちが出会う動植物、星の説明を分かりやすく私達のペースに合わせてしてくれたのでとても充実した時間となりました。
宮古島は昼間の海だけでなく夜も魅力的な場所だと感じました。ありがとうございました。

At first, I was a little scared to dive into the sea, but thanks to the kind and fun guidance, I was able to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind. I was able to see many sea turtles, and it was moving to swim not only with the turtles but also with the fish. The sea and the coral were very beautiful, and it felt great to swim. I was happy to receive many photos that were taken and sent to me. It became a wonderful time that will remain as a memory of our honeymoon. Thank you very much.

初めは海に潜るのも少し怖かったのですが、親切に楽しく教えていただき、安心してシュノーケリングを楽しめました。
ウミガメもたくさん見ることができましたし、カメだけでなく魚たちとも一緒に泳げて感動しました。
海もサンゴもとても綺麗で、泳いでいて気持ち良かったです。
写真もたくさん撮って送ってくださり、嬉しかったです。
ハネムーンの思い出に残る素敵な時間になりました。
ありがとうございました。

I participated with my 4-year-old child. I think it was the right decision to join this tour since we couldn't explore with a rental bike with a small child. The glass-bottom boat, water buffalo, and star sand made my child very happy. When my child gets older, I would like to take my time exploring with a rental bike next time.

4歳の子と参加しました。
小さな子連れだとレンタサイクルでまわることはできないので、こちらのツアーに参加して正解だったと思います。
グラスボート、水牛、星の砂と子どもも喜んでいました。
子どもが大きくなったら、つぎはレンタサイクル等でゆっくりまわりたいと思います。

I had the opportunity to visit Yakushima for the first time. I was worried because a heavy rain warning was issued for the scheduled dates, but they smoothly changed the dates for me, and I was able to go on the Yakusugi trekking, as well as visit the moss-covered forest and Taiko Rock. During our lunch break on the trek, the guide brought us miso soup that really hit the spot after a tiring hike; it was truly delicious and much appreciated!

We walked a long distance over the two days, and it was more about the strain on my legs and knees rather than my stamina, haha. My mother, who is in her 60s, slightly injured her knee. Pain relief patches are a must.

Over the two days, I connected with nature like never before and was able to experience the beauty of Yakushima. The guide shared a lot of information about Yakushima, and I am grateful for their help throughout the two days. Thanks to them, it became a memorable trip. Thank you very much!

初めて屋久島に行かせていただきました。
予定していた日程では大雨警報が出たので心配だったのですがスムーズに日付変更をしていただき、屋久杉トレッキングも行けて、苔むす森や太鼓岩も行けました(^^)
トレッキングのお昼休憩の際にガイドさんが持ってきてくださった味噌汁が疲れにしみて、本当に美味しく、ありがたかったです！
二日間のツアーで長距離歩きますが、体力というよりは足や膝にきました笑
60代の母は膝を少し痛めてしまいました。
湿布は必須ですね。

二日間で人生1番ってくらい自然に触れて、屋久島の美しさを味わうことができました。
ガイドさんも色々屋久島の情報を教えてくださり、二日間お世話になりました。
おかげさまで思い出に残る旅となりました。
ありがとうございました。

The tour included a pick-up service to the hotel, making it easy to sign up even at night.

During the first half of the night safari, we explored the forest while searching for unique island creatures like coconut crabs. We were able to see a variety of wildlife, from tiny crabs that were hard to spot to the large coconut crabs climbing the trees.

In the second half, we went to a famous stargazing spot on the island. Each group was given a mat, and we could lie down in our preferred space to enjoy the stars, which felt like a truly luxurious experience. Since we could choose our own spots in the spacious area, we were able to keep a distance from other groups and spend time chatting leisurely.

ホテルまで送迎に来てもらえるツアーだったので、夜ですが気軽に申し込めました。
前半のナイトサファリではヤシガニなどの島ならではの生き物を探しながら、森の中を探検。
目を凝らさないと見つけられないような小さなサイズのカニから、木を堂々と上る大きなヤシガニまで色々な生物を見ることが出来ました。
後半の星空観賞は島の中でも有名な星空スポットへ。1組ずつマットを渡され、各々好きなスペースで寝っ転がっての星空観賞は、とっても贅沢な時間でした。広いエリアの中で場所を決められるので他のグループとも距離を取れ、ゆっくりおしゃべりして時間を過ごすことが出来ました。

Due to poor sea conditions on the day, we were unable to go to Barasu Island, so we received a refund of 3,000 yen and instead participated in the SUP and cave tour. The SUP was difficult to balance on, and I capsized several times, but once I got used to it, I was able to paddle and enjoyed it. The cave exploration introduced on Itte Q had some formations that showed how stalactites are formed, which was great. On the way to the cave, there was a tunnel where the Iriomote cat passes through.

当日の海のコンディションが悪く、バラス島に行くことができなかったため、3000円返金となり、SUPと洞窟ツアーになりました。SUPは、バランスをとるのが難しく、何度も転覆しましたが、慣れると漕げるようになって楽しめました。イッテQで紹介された洞窟散策は、鍾乳石できるようすがわかるものがあり、よかったです。洞窟に行く途中に、イリオモテヤマネコが通るトンネルがありました。

I participated in the tour on Saturday night. I was able to see about ten endangered coconut crabs, and it was easier to spot them than I had expected. There were also natural monument hermit crabs. However, it was cloudy that day, so it was disappointing that I couldn't see the starry sky.

土曜日の夜のツアーに参加しました。月滅危惧種のヤシガニが10匹くらい見れて、思っていたよりも簡単に見ることができました。天然記念物のヤドカリもいました。しかし、当日は曇りだったので、星空を見ることができなかったのが残念でした。

During the rainy season in Yakushima, we were fortunate to have clear skies, allowing for the best possible visit to Jomon Sugi. The journey was quite challenging, but thanks to our guide, we were able to complete it. I had a wonderfully fulfilling time and am very grateful.

梅雨入り中の屋久島では珍しく快晴に恵まれ、最高の縄文杉見学ができました。道中は大変厳しかったですが、ガイドの方に恵まれ何とかやり遂げることができました。　
とても充実した素晴らしい時間を過ごすことができました。感謝しています。

For our 25th wedding anniversary, we stayed in Yokohama and participated in some activities. We had been looking forward to the factory night view cruise for a long time! On the long-awaited day, we were blessed with good weather and were captivated by the friendly chatter and guidance from the captain. The cruise lasted an hour and a half, plus a little extra time as a bonus thanks to the captain's kindness! We are already discussing participating in a different course next time. Thank you for the wonderful boat trip!

結婚25周年記念に、横浜に泊まりアクティビティに参加させていただきました。前々から気になっていた工場夜景クルーズ！待ちに待った当日、天候にも恵まれ、船長さんの気さくなお喋りやガイドに魅了されながらあっという間の１時間半+α(船長さんのご厚意で、少し長く船旅を楽しませて頂くおまけ付きでした！)次回は違うコースを、是非参加させて頂こうと、夫婦で、話しています。楽しい船旅をありがとうございました！

If you come to Ishigaki Island, I highly recommend the night safari tour. Not only can you see some amazing creatures, I saw a plethora including the highlight of a giant 20-inch blue cave dwelling land crab, but also lots of other very unique and weird creatures. What was probably the neatest part of the outing was the star viewing in an area totally devoid of light pollution. Once you get your night eyes, you will see a night sky clearer than you probably have in years, if ever. Not only constellations and the Milky Way, but even satellites zipping around the planet at high speed. Their guide, Mr. Iida, was not only knowledgeable but friendly and very enthusiastic. All in all, the night safari plus starlight viewing tour was a great experience all around and, as I said, highly recommended.

星空も美しくアイテムも可愛かったー
とても楽しく撮影していただきました！
素敵な時間をありがとうございました(*^^*)

It was amazing. I think I'm going to get hooked on SUP. There were moments when I felt really close to nature. They also took a lot of wonderful photos, and I'm very satisfied.

最高すぎました。サップにハマりそうです。すごく自然を近くに感じる瞬間もありました。
素敵な写真もいっぱい撮ってくださって､大満足です。

There were no optimal trains to travel around Noto Peninsula, and the places I could visit were limited, but this plan included all the places I wanted to go. The Blue Cave wasn't as mystical as I had imagined, but the other locations were far more wonderful than I expected. In particular, Senmaida was the best photo spot, and I received compliments from those I showed the pictures to. It felt great to drive along the coastline, and the scenery of the lighthouse was picturesque. The price is reasonable for a full day of exploration at this cost.

奥能登をまわるに最適な電車がなく行ける場所も限られていたところ、行きたいと思ったところがすべて入った最適なプランでした。
青の洞窟は思っていたほど神秘的ではなかったのですが、それ以外の場所は想像より遥かに素敵でした。特に千枚田は最高の写真スポットで、見せた人に褒められました。海岸線を走るのも気持ちが良かったですし、灯台の風景も絵のようでした。
値段はそれなりですが、１日ぐるっと回ってこの値段ならリーズナブルだと思います。

I participated to get a sense of the overall atmosphere of Yakushima. I was able to grasp a general image by going around the island. It was disappointing that the flying fish dish for lunch was not very good.

屋久島全体の雰囲気を把握しようと参加。ぐるっと一周し、概ねイメージを掴むことができた。昼食のトビウオ料理がもう一つだったのが残念。

The trekking day to Jomon Sugi was canceled due to heavy rain and the bus service was also suspended (all other tours were canceled as well). Since I had a long stay, I urgently requested to change the tour date, and as a result, I was able to visit both Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo. The weather on the tour days was favorable, and the guides on both days were very experienced, which made me feel at ease. The stories shared during the tours were educational and became wonderful memories. Thank you very much.

縄文杉のトレッキング日が大雨でバス運行中止でツアーも中止（他のツアーも全部。。）。滞在日が長かったのでツアーの日にち変更を急遽お願いし、結果縄文杉と白谷雲水両方いけました。ツアー日は天候にも恵まれ、ガイドさんも両日とも経験豊富な方々でしたので安心。ツアー中のお話も勉強になりとてもよい思い出となりました。ありがとうございました。

The tour guide was a foreigner, but he was very polite and kind. He mentioned that he used to live in Kobe but has come to like Hokkaido and decided to stay. The weather was cloudy with occasional light rain, but I really enjoyed Asahiyama Zoo, the Blue Pond, and the waterfalls. However, I was very disappointed with the meal. It was supposed to be zaru soba and tempura, but the zaru soba was only about the size of a fist, and there were just two pieces of tempura, like potato, and two inari sushi. That was it. It felt way too small, more like a child's meal, and I was very disappointed. I think it would have been better to have no meal included and instead lower the price, allowing for a longer stay at Asahiyama Zoo and having the freedom to eat there.

添乗員さんが、外国の方だったのですが、とても丁寧でいい方でした。
昔は神戸にいたけど、北海道が気に入って住むようになったとおっしゃっていました。
天気は曇りでたまに雨がパラパラ降る感じでしたが、旭山動物園も、青い池も、滝もとても楽しかったです。
ただ、食事内容がとても残念でした。
ざるそばと天ぷらとの事でしたが、ざるそばは握りこぶしぐらいの量、天ぷらは芋などの天ぷらが2つ、いなり2つ。
たったそれだけ。
ちょっとこれではあまりにも少ないというか、お子様ランチぐらいの量でとても残念でした。
これなら、食事無しでその分お値打ちにしてもらって、旭山動物園の滞在時間を長く取り、そこで自由に食事の方がいいと思いました。
