Although it was winter, we are glad you were able to enjoy snorkeling comfortably in a wetsuit! It's unfortunate that we couldn't go to the Blue Cave, but prioritizing safety and allowing you to focus on your experience was the most important thing. We are very encouraged to hear that you were satisfied with our staff's attention to each individual's needs!

This is Macchan! That great adventure on the Urauchi River became an unforgettable day for me as well!

It was quite a tough condition with strong winds and grounding in shallow areas, but seeing you paddle with all your might motivated me to think, "I will definitely get you there!" The moment I hopped onto your canoe and we paddled in sync together felt like we formed a bond, like a "three-legged race," and it truly warmed my heart!

Whether you came alone, with family, or from overseas, the challenging conditions brought us together as one team in the end. That warm atmosphere was all thanks to your brightness!

Iriomote Island shows a different face every time you visit. Next time, let's definitely have a rematch on a calm, flat day! (laughs) I look forward to the day we can adventure together again as "Team Iriomote"!

Iriomote Island ADVENTURE PiPi, Macchan

Thank you so much for joining the tour!

This is Macchan! I'm truly delighted to hear your wonderful feedback of "satisfaction beyond imagination"! It was really fun for me to guide you, as you brought such excitement that matched the great nature of Iriomote Island!

Canoeing in the strong winds, especially paddling in the tributaries, was quite a workout, wasn't it? (laughs) However, the tranquility of the mangrove tunnel after paddling hard was undoubtedly beautiful, wasn't it? My SUP handstand was perfectly executed thanks to everyone's support! I'm honored that you were surprised!

I'm also really happy that you enjoyed the stories about the island during the bus ride and that you fell in love with Iriomote Island as a whole. The sound of the sanshin from Yubu Island, along with the leisurely island time, was the best reward, wasn't it?

Next time, let's definitely go see different breathtaking views on a calm day! I'll prepare an even more powerful handstand (?), and I look forward to the day we can meet again!

Iriomote Island ADVENTURE PiPi, Macchan

Thank you very much for participating in the Miyako Island ADVENTURE PiPi tour.

We are thrilled that you enjoyed both the SUP and snorkeling to the fullest! We were also fortunate with the weather, and it was great to capture so many of your sparkling smiles in photos.

I imagine your first snorkeling experience was exciting, and it truly became a wonderful experience to encounter sea turtles and colorful fish! The clarity of the waters around Miyako Island is always breathtaking, no matter how many times you see it.

There are still many beautiful sights to explore on Miyako Island! We hope you will come back in a different season to show us your improved paddling and swimming skills. We look forward to seeing you again!

Thank you very much for participating in the Miyako Island ADVENTURE PiPi tour.

We are truly delighted that you enjoyed both SUP and snorkeling! You quickly grasped the techniques during SUP and were gliding smoothly. The photos we took on the sea under the clear sky must have become wonderful memories.

Although it was a bit chilly at the end of January, the excitement of seeing sea turtles and colorful fish up close made us forget the cold! It seems that the charm of Miyako Island's sea was well conveyed.

Miyako Island has different beauties in each season. We hope you will come back to visit us again, perhaps in a different season. Next time, let's enjoy it together while feeling the warmer breeze! We sincerely look forward to the day we can meet again.

Thank you very much for participating in the Miyako Island ADVENTURE PiPi tour.

We are truly delighted that you enjoyed both the SUP and snorkeling plans to the fullest! It was wonderful to see you master the SUP without falling, despite your initial concerns. The moment the blue sky peeked through the clouds and the sparkling sea appeared was truly a gift from Miyako Island.

Additionally, we are overjoyed to hear that you overcame your past fears with snorkeling and even encountered a sea turtle. It brings us immense joy to have helped create such unforgettable memories! We hope you will come back to experience the ocean in a season with even greater clarity. All of our staff are looking forward to the day we can meet you and your lovely family again!

Thank you so much for joining the tour!

We were disappointed that the snorkeling was canceled, but we are truly grateful that you were able to fully enjoy the mangrove kayaking and canyoning despite the strong winds and rain! Even in the harsh conditions where you said, "It was really cold," seeing your child joyfully splash into the waterfall pool gave us so much energy that we forgot about the cold! It was truly a great adventure that deepened your family's bond.

We are also glad to hear that you enjoyed the transportation for your meals! The local diner on the island was delicious, wasn't it?

On the other hand, I sincerely apologize for the delay in sending the photos, which may have dampened your excitement. We will work as a team to speed up the process so that we can deliver the best memories to you while the excitement is still fresh!

Next time, let's dive into the coral reef under the sun! All of us staff are eagerly waiting for the day we can reunite for a snorkeling adventure as a comeback!

We are truly grateful that you were moved by the vast expanse of coral and the fish swimming close by during snorkeling! It was wonderful to see the couple relaxing and enjoying the breathtaking 360-degree views, forgetting any anxiety about diving.

You both did an excellent job paddling smoothly and effortlessly during the mangrove canoeing! It was a healing experience surrounded by the unique nature of Ishigaki Island. Please come back together to enjoy and update your memories with the best views again!

Thank you so much for joining the tour!

We are absolutely thrilled that you enjoyed your first adventure on Iriomote Island, from kayaking to Yufu Island! Paddling for an hour surrounded by the deep green of the mangroves was truly a healing experience, wasn't it? Seeing your sparkling smiles gave our staff a lot of energy!

And it’s great to hear that you also enjoyed your time on Yufu Island in the afternoon! The gelato after being rocked in the water buffalo cart is such a luxurious treat. Choosing the island banana flavor was a great choice! The rich sweetness must have soaked into your body, right?

Iriomote Island still has many delicious seasonal treats and breathtaking natural scenery waiting to be discovered. We hope you come back to recharge your energy again! We look forward to chatting with you again next time, perhaps with a different flavor of gelato in hand!

Thank you so much for joining the tour!

We are absolutely thrilled that you enjoyed your first visit to Iriomote Island, from kayaking to the water buffalo cart! The air surrounded by mangroves is truly like natural vitamins, isn't it? We are deeply moved to hear that the warm moments shared with fellow paddlers and guides have become unforgettable memories!

And the goya champuru at "Minamoto Shokudo" for lunch! The taste there really seeps into your body, doesn’t it? The island food after some exercise is exceptional. I hope you felt rejuvenated by the leisurely rhythm of the water buffalo, leaving both your heart and stomach full on that day.

We would be delighted if you could spread the word about the easy "50-minute trip from Ishigaki Island"! There are still many breathtaking views and other delicious island eateries we want to show you (laughs).

Whenever you feel like recharging your energy, please come back to this great nature anytime! All of us staff members are looking forward to the day we can meet again!

Thank you very much for participating in the tour!

In mid-January, it can feel a bit chilly on Iriomote Island when the wind blows, right? Your advice for those who will be joining us soon to bring "something to wear over and a change of clothes is essential!" is very helpful!

After fully enjoying kayaking, a warm shower is truly a blissful moment. I'm glad you were able to warm up properly!

Also, it's great to hear that you enjoyed chatting with other participants. We are happy that you felt the sense of unity that comes with a small group tour! Even when meeting for the first time, it's amazing how quickly you can become friends when you see the same scenery and paddle together.

I'm glad the staff's explanations about the island were helpful! Iriomote Island has so many interesting plants and animals that we couldn't fully introduce, as well as the island's charm that changes with the seasons.

Please come back to visit us in another season! We look forward to the day we can meet again, with even deeper stories about the island prepared for you!

From all the staff at Iriomote Island ADVENTURE PiPi

Thank you very much for participating in the tour!

We are truly delighted that you chose to embark on an adventure with us during this important holiday season! We also appreciate your kind words about our guide. Everyone is probably blushing with joy hearing that they were "kind"!

Canoeing is best enjoyed at a leisurely pace, isn’t it? It’s perfectly fine to take your time! As long as you were able to savor the tranquility of the mangroves and the sensation of gliding over the water at your own rhythm, I, as your guide, couldn't be happier!

I’m glad to hear that you were also healed by the scenery of Yubu Island and the cuteness of the water buffaloes. That relaxed time crossing the sea is truly exceptional. And thank you for the super practical advice for future participants: "Make sure to line up at the gelato shop first!" Enjoying exquisite gelato while gazing at that beach must have been a blissful moment.

As the seasons change, you will encounter different charms of Iriomote Island. Please feel free to come back anytime you want to refresh yourself! All of us at the staff are looking forward to the day we can meet again!

Thank you very much for participating in the Miyako Island ADVENTURE PiPi tour.

I’m really glad to hear that you enjoyed the clear waters of Miyako Island, especially since it had been a while since your last snorkeling experience! One of the great attractions of this island is that just a short swim from the beach can lead you to encounters with sea turtles and beautiful coral reefs.

The clarity of the sea in January is exceptionally beautiful, and the warm water after coming out feels so soothing, doesn’t it? I’m also thrilled that we could deliver the photos you took right away, helping you create wonderful memories of your trip as your guide!

Next time, please come and visit Miyako Island in a different season. Let’s go explore the beautiful sea together again!

Thank you very much for participating in the tour with Ishigaki Island ADVENTURE PiPi!

We sincerely appreciate your understanding regarding the change in plans. It had been 10 years since you last canoed, but you paddled smoothly without any issues! We are thrilled that you were able to enjoy the natural beauty of the mangroves and our stories in a small group at a leisurely pace. Please look back at the photos we took as wonderful memories.

Next time, let's definitely aim for a rematch at the Blue Cave! We look forward to seeing you again on Ishigaki Island! ♩

This is Matsushita, also known as "Macchan," who was in charge of your experience. On the day of your visit, we were blessed with beautiful weather, and I’m truly happy that you were able to enjoy the stunning clarity of the water in the Urauchi River and the contrast with the mangroves in such great conditions!

Thank you for enthusiastically listening to my somewhat nerdy (laughs) explanations about the unique plant ecology of the brackish water area and the differences in species between the sandbars and riverbanks. When you look at the scenery with knowledge, the ordinary green forest starts to look like a "living encyclopedia," and it deepens your affection for it, doesn’t it?

The stories from Yubu Island were heartwarming as well. Knowing the history built by the grandfather alone makes the blooming flowers feel even more precious. Capturing the miraculous moment of butterflies sipping nectar on camera was truly a gift from the nature of Iriomote Island to both of you.

The time spent in the water buffalo cart surrounded by the sounds of the sanshin (a traditional Okinawan instrument) must surely have become a lifelong memory.

Thank you also for your warm words towards Shogo, the preparation staff, and the guides from Yubu Island! I will make sure to convey your appreciation to the entire team. There is no greater joy than knowing that this baton we all passed on has become the best travel memory.

Please come back to Iriomote Island to hear more of Macchan's "plant talks," which will have evolved with the changing seasons! All of us staff members are sincerely looking forward to the day we can meet again!

Iriomote Island ADVENTURE PiPi Macchan (Matsushita), Shogo, and the entire staff.

Thank you very much for participating in the tour!

I'm "Macchan," your guide! From the bus ride to the canoeing time, I had a fantastic time as you listened to my stories with smiles and enthusiasm. It brings me immense joy as a guide to know that learning about the fascinating ecology of the creatures and plants of Iriomote Island made the scenery in front of you even more profound.

I'm so glad you enjoyed the photos! It's true that when traveling as a couple, it can be challenging to find the right moment for a two-shot, so we place great importance on "preserving memories" in our tours. Your smiles with the mangroves in the background were truly wonderful!

In addition to the canoeing experience you had this time, Iriomote Island offers many more exciting adventures, such as night jungle explorations and snorkeling in crystal-clear waters!

Please come back next time to seek new discoveries. I will prepare even more exciting island stories and eagerly await your return! ⭐

Iriomote Island ADVENTURE PiPi Macchan

Thank you very much for participating in the tour!

We are all filled with joy to hear your words of "the best vacation," which means the world to our guides! The feeling of paddling for the first time in a canoe, surrounded by the great nature of Iriomote Island, will surely become an unforgettable memory.

Thank you for attentively listening to our explanations. By learning about the fascinating ecology of the mangroves, the scenery before you becomes even more cherished.

Above all, it’s truly wonderful to hear that you deepened your bonds with other participants through this "ichigo ichie" experience! The time spent together on Yufu Island in the afternoon was indeed the greatest gift that travel can offer. Because you shared the same views and felt the same breeze, I believe you were able to connect with each other so quickly.

We will take your words about feeling the importance of "connections with people" to heart as we continue to aim for tours that foster warm encounters.

Whenever you feel like exploring different scenery or meeting new people, please come back to Iriomote Island anytime! We look forward to the day we can reunite with even more powerful smiles and guidance!

From all of us at Iriomote Island ADVENTURE PiPi

Thank you very much for joining our tour! And congratulations on your marriage!

We are truly honored that you chose our tour for your precious honeymoon memories.

It started with strong winds in early January, but the moment we entered the mangrove forest, the serene silence felt like nature was protecting us. Even the cloudy skies seemed to enhance the depth of the jungle, allowing you to fully experience this extraordinary world.

The Okinawan cuisine for lunch was a great energy boost unique to Iriomote Island! Both Goya Champuru and Soki Soba are island classics and excellent choices!

In the afternoon, we were delighted to have a glimpse of sunshine to celebrate your new journey together, and it was wonderful to spend a peaceful time interacting with the water buffalo on Yubu Island. The photos you took with the water buffalo will surely become treasured memories for a lifetime!

We wish that the long journey ahead for both of you will be as rich and radiant as the nature of Iriomote Island. Please come back someday to reminisce about "that adventure" on your milestone anniversaries!

Wishing you everlasting happiness, from all of us at Iriomote Island ADVENTURE PiPi!

Thank you very much for participating in the tour with Ishigaki Island ADVENTURE PiPi!

We are truly encouraged by your powerful words, "No problem at all!" The beauty of that deep blue color, which can only be experienced on a cloudy day, is truly the essence of the "Blue Cave."

We are honored to have helped you create wonderful travel memories, and we hear that the photos you took turned out to be fantastical! Your positive attitude in enjoying the special scenery of the moment, regardless of the weather, has also energized us✨

The cave shows a different expression every day, depending on the season and weather. We hope you will come back to discover new shades of "blue"! We look forward to seeing you again soon♩

It was a bit chilly at the start, but the water was warm, and we were truly delighted to hear your child say, "It was so much fun!" It brought us great joy that your child was able to enjoy the beautiful sea of Ishigaki Island without worrying about the cold, thanks to the layered wetsuits we provided✨

We are honored that you enjoyed the snorkeling lecture and the discussions about local island cuisine during the transportation! I'm glad to hear that our recommended places suited your taste♩ The real information that isn't found in guidebooks is one of the unique pleasures of having a local guide.

Ishigaki Island has many more delicious foods and breathtaking views to offer throughout the seasons! We hope you and your family will come back to visit again. We look forward to the day we can meet again♩

Although we had to change the location from the Blue Cave, we are truly glad that you were able to enjoy snorkeling under the beautiful sunny sky with excellent visibility! It was wonderful to see the children skillfully using their masks for the first time and swimming without any mistakes.

It brought us immense joy as guides to see the children, who were a bit scared at first, holding onto the float and smiling, saying, "It wasn't scary at all!"

We were disappointed not to meet any sea turtles this time, but let's make that our "revenge goal" for next time! We hope you and your family will come back to enjoy the beautiful waters of Ishigaki Island again. We look forward to the day we can meet again!
