All Reviews for Night Tours

It was my first time participating, but the boatman's stories were very interesting, and time flew by. The gentle rocking of the boat invited a pleasant sleep, creating such a peaceful atmosphere. I would love to participate again.

初めての参加でしたが、船頭さんのお話もとても面白く時間があっという間に過ぎていきました。
船の揺れが程よい眠りを誘うそんな穏やかな時間でした。また参加してみたいです。

We participated with two adults and a 4-year-old child. We were very satisfied as we could see not only the coconut crabs but also many other creatures, along with a beautiful starry sky. The guide was very curious and considerate of our lively child, which was extremely helpful. We had a wonderful time. This tour is highly recommended. Thank you very much.

夫婦2名と4歳の子連れで参加しました。
ヤシガニのほか多くの生き物のほか、綺麗な星空も見ることができて大変満足しています。
ガイドさんは好奇心旺盛でやんちゃな子供にも気遣ってくれて非常に助かりました。
とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。おすすめのツアーです。
ありがとうございました。

The guidance was smooth, and the person in charge was also from Kansai, making it easy to talk. The tour content was great, with beautiful stars, good weather, and an excellent guide!

案内もスムーズで担当の方が同じ関西出身の方で話がしやすかったです。
ツアー内容も、星がきれいで天気もよくガイドも最高でした！

There was no shuttle service, so we took a taxi to the location. We arrived about 10 minutes before the meeting time, but had to wait about 15 minutes longer than scheduled because the previous group’s shoot was running late. Once the shoot started, they gave clear instructions, and we were able to enjoy the session. The photos taken with great attention to detail turned out to be excellent.

特に送迎などはなく、タクシーで現地へ向かいました。集合時間の10分前くらいに着くと、前の組の撮影が押していたため、予定時刻より15分ほど待つことになりました。撮影がはじまると、スムーズに指示を出してくれて、楽しく撮影できました。拘りを持って撮影してもらった写真はとても良い写真ばかりでした。

I participated in a factory night view tour for the first time, and I was able to take a lot of photos that would look great on social media. There were especially many beautiful factory night views in the latter half of the tour. Near the end of the tour, the night view of Minato Mirai from the boat was also amazing. If the weather is clear, you can see it up close from the deck of the boat. The captain's storytelling is enjoyable. He provides detailed explanations, and I learned that the way the factory night views appear changes depending on the season, which makes me want to join again. Since it's a small boat, it can sway quite a bit when it speeds up. As a pregnant woman, it was tough to stay out on the deck for long, but I didn't feel much sway when I enjoyed the view from inside the boat with the window open.

初めて工場夜景のツアーに参加しましたが、SNS映えしそうな写真がたくさん撮れました。特に後半にステキな工場夜景が多かったです。ツアー終了間近に、船から見るみなとみらいの夜景も最高です。晴れていれば、船のデッキで間近で見られます。船長さんの語りが楽しいです。細かく説明してくれるし、季節によって外の気温が異なるので、工場夜景の見え方も変わるんだなぁと知って、また参加したいです。小型船なのでスピードを出すと結構揺れます。妊婦なのでデッキに出続けるのは辛かったですが、船の中から窓を開けて鑑賞すれば、あまり揺れは感じなかったです。

The tour was initially canceled due to bad weather, so I rebooked. Since it was drizzling, they lent us raincoats. We had to wait because a couple arrived late, even though everyone else checked in early. Despite being late and causing the departure to be delayed, the couple participated without any apology. If they had shown some common courtesy and apologized, I might have enjoyed it more. The tour itself was well-explained, and the captain shared personal stories, stopping along the way to let us take photos. I think it would have been fantastic if it hadn't been raining. Ultimately, the delayed departure made us return late, which changed our plans afterward, and that was disappointing. I hope to go again when the weather is nice and there are no latecomers.

一度天候不順で欠航になり、再度申込みました。雨がしとしと降る中なので、カッパは貸してもらえました。一組の夫婦が遅れて来たため、皆さん早くにチェックインしたのに待たされました。出港が遅れる程遅刻なのに、遅れて来た夫婦は何の謝りもなく平気で参加しました。常識のある人で一言謝罪があったらもっと楽しめたかもしれません。ツアー自体は説明が詳しく、船長さん自身の話もあり途中で止まって写真を撮らせてくれたり、雨が降っていなかったら最高だったと思います。結局、出港が遅れたせいで帰りが遅くなりその後ので予定が変わってしまい、それだけは残念でした。天候の良い時に、遅れる人がいないことを願いまた行ってみたいとは思います。

The instructions for the meeting place were unclear, yet they showed displeasure for not arriving on time. There were no other tour participants, so it wasn't a situation where anyone would be inconvenienced. I didn't feel any hospitality. I didn't see a single animal. I would have been better off relaxing in my room. I cannot recommend this at all.

待ち合わせ場所の指示が不明確なのが悪いのに、時間通りにつかなかったことに不機嫌をあらわにしてくる。他のツアー参加者もおらず、誰に迷惑かかる状況でもないのに。ホスピタリティを感じない。1匹も動物も見れなかった。これなら部屋でゆっくりしてたほうがマシだった。全くお勧めできない。

In the morning, it was raining and I was worried, but by the afternoon, it cleared up and the weather was nice. Perhaps because of that, I could see far out to sea. The captain's explanations were straightforward, but he covered the key points and kept it interesting.

The night breeze was cool, and I think this time of year is the best. In winter, the air may be clear, but you need to take quite a bit of precautions against the cold.

朝の内は雨が降り心配していたが、午後には上がり良い天気に。そのせいか、海上では遠くまで見通す事ができた。船長の説明も朴訥だが、要所を抑えていて飽きさせない。
夜風も涼しく、この時期が一番かと思う。冬は空気は澄んで居るかもしれないが、防寒はかなりしっかり対策する必要がある。

We had a wonderful family photo session for four. I was worried because it wasn't a sunny day, but perhaps it was because of the great location that we were able to see a beautiful starry sky, which was amazing!

The photos captured many stars that we couldn't see with the naked eye, making them even more stunning. The pictures taken with the illumination were also very cute.

I highly recommend it because the photographer leads the session in a great way!

家族4人でとても素敵に撮っていただきました。晴天ではなかったので心配でしたが、撮影場所がよいからでしょうかキレイな星空が見え最高でした！

写真は肉眼で捉えきれなかった星もたくさんあり、より映えます。イルミネーションを使っての写真もとても可愛かったです。

カメラマンの方が良い感じにリードしてくれるのでオススメです！

Thanks to the detailed explanations from staff member Nakamura, I was able to enjoy a wonderful night tour! They vividly explained interesting facts about spiders, insects, and constellations, which revived my childhood curiosity. I also finally spotted the long-awaited coconut crab! I was able to observe both a large coconut crab and a baby coconut crab. Although it was a tour, I was also shown beautiful beaches with stunning starry skies, allowing me to have a great time even after the tour. At the same time, I was able to appreciate the vastness and mystery of Miyako Island, and the hour and a half flew by. Thank you very much for this experience!

スタッフの中村さんの丁寧な解説のおかけで、楽しいナイトツアーを堪能することができました！蜘蛛や虫、星座の豆知識を生き生きと説明してくださり、子供の時の好奇心が蘇ってきました。そして念願のヤシガニもついに発見！大きいヤシガニと赤ちゃんヤシガニを観察することができました。ツアー街ですが、星空が綺麗なビーチも教えていただき、ツアー後にも楽しい時間を過ごす方ができました。同時に宮古島の広大さや神秘性も堪能でき、あっという間の1時間半でした。この度はありがとうございました！

I was able to finally find the coconut crab! I also encountered various creatures like turtles and owls. It was so much fun to explore and search for them in nature, so I'm really glad I participated! ◡̈

念願のヤシガニを見つけることができました！他にもカメやフクロウなど様々な生き物に出会えました。自然の中を進んで自分で探すのがとっても楽しかったので参加してよかったです◡̈

The clouds were covering the sky, and we waited a bit, but I'm glad we were able to take the photos. It was completely dark on the way to the shooting location, and the kids were scared, but the stars were incredibly beautiful.

雲がかかり少し待機したけど撮れてよかった。撮影場所までが真っ暗で子供達が怖がってたけど星はすごく綺麗だった。

I took my boyfriend out for his birthday, and he was so happy! We had a great time, and the captain's stories were enjoyable.

彼氏の誕生日に連れていってあげたら、大喜びしてくれました！
船長さんのお話も楽しくとっても素敵な時間を過ごせました！

I was able to encounter many creatures, such as the natural monument box turtle, habu snake, coconut crab, and glowing firefly larvae! The children were also very happy.
I could clearly see shooting stars and the Milky Way, and it was truly beautiful.
The guide was kind and had interesting stories, making for a fun time!

天然記念物のハコガメやハブ、ヤシガニ、光る蛍の幼虫など沢山の生き物に出会うことができたした！子どもも大喜びでした。
流れ星や天の川も、ハッキリ見れて本当に綺麗でした。
ガイドさんも親切でお話が面白くて、楽しい時間を過ごせました！

The meeting place was dark and hard to find, but they responded quickly to my call, and I was able to join the group. It was my first time doing a photo shoot, and they suggested poses, making the session go smoothly! The photos they sent me are really wonderful and became the best keepsake. I would definitely like to use their services again. If you're planning to use their services, it might be good to think about the kind of images you want to create!

集合場所が暗く、わかりにくかったですが、電話ですぐ対応していただき、合流出来ました。
写真撮影も初めてで、ポーズなども提案していただき、スムーズに撮影していただけました！
送っていただいた写真はとってもステキで最高の記念になりました。またぜひ利用させていただきたいです。
もし利用される方はこんなふうに撮りたいなど、イメージを膨らませていくといいかもしれません！

I finally made it to my long-awaited trip to Ishigaki Island! One of the things I planned was a night tour, which I booked from here! On the day of the tour, despite a few clouds in the sky, it started with the guide saying, "You rarely see a sunset like this!" and they kept the energy up with lots of conversation in the car!

When we arrived at the point and the tour began, the guide provided detailed explanations about various plants and creatures, as well as the terrain, making it really enjoyable! We spotted two coconut crabs, and even though there were some clouds, we were able to see the Milky Way at the guide's special spot!

This was the perfect start to my three-year-awaited trip to Ishigaki Island! The guide, Moepi, was amazing!! Thank you!!!

念願の石垣島旅行にやっと来れました！
色んなことを計画した中の一つにナイトツアーを選びこちらから予約しました！
当日、空に少し雲がかかる中、いきなりガイドさんの「こんな夕焼けなかなかないですよっ！」の一言から始まり、車中でもたくさん話してくれてテンションをあげてもらいました！
ポイントに着きツアーが始まると、色んな植物や生物の説明を詳しく教えてくれたり地形の説明などもおりまぜ楽しませてもらいました！ヤシガニも2匹見つかり、少し雲がかかっていた空もガイドさんのとっておきのポイントで天の川も見れました！
三年越しの石垣島旅行の最高のスタートになりました！
ガイドの『もえぴー』最高〜！！
ありがとー！！！

I only saw two coconut crabs, but thanks to the incredibly clear weather, I was able to see a sky full of stars! The Milky Way was so visible that I could even capture it on my smartphone.

ヤシガニ二匹しか見れませんでしたが、天気がめちゃめちゃ晴れてたおかげで満天の星空が見れました！天の川もスマホでも映れるくらいばっちり見えました。

The night tour was definitely the right choice!
I was able to see many creatures that I wouldn't normally encounter, such as coconut crabs, fireflies, and camel crickets.
Along the way, the guide shared many stories about Ishigaki Island. They were a wonderful guide.
The starry sky was also amazing.
This time, I participated with just my child, but the next time I come to Ishigaki Island, I want to join with the whole family.

It was a lot of fun. Thank you!

ナイトツアー、参加して大正解でした！
ヤシガニ、蛍、カマドウマなどなど、普段なら見ることのできない生物がたくさん見れました。
道中も、ガイドさんが石垣島のお話などたくさんしてくれました。すごく素敵なガイドさんでした。
星空も最高でした。
今回は子供と2人での参加でしたが、次に石垣島に来るときは家族みんなで参加したいです。

とても楽しかったです。ありがとうございました！

I often visit Minato Mirai, and I participated with my daughter because we could enjoy the night view of Minato Mirai along with the factory district's night scenery from the boat. It was a delightful 90 minutes filled with the refreshing sea breeze and enjoyable stories from the captain!

みなとみらいにはよく遊びに行くのですが、船上から工場地帯の夜景と一緒にみなとみらいの夜景も楽しめるという事で娘と参加させていただきました。気持ちいい潮風を感じながらの夜景鑑賞や船長さんのお話も楽しく、あっという間の90分でした！

It had quite a jungle feel to it. The kids were really excited. There were plenty of insects, birds, hermit crabs, coconut crabs, snakes, and owls. Thank you very much. However, since it was a night tour, the kids started to get sleepy towards the end... and the night view wasn't that impressive either (-_-;) It was a tour that lived up to its popularity. The guide was also very attentive, which made it reassuring for families with children. It was a great help!!

割とジャングル感あり
子供はテンション上がってました。
虫、鳥、ヤドカリ、ヤシガニ、ハブ、梟と盛沢山。
ありがとうございました。
なにぶん、ナイトツアーなだけに子供は終盤眠気が勝ります。。&夜景には然程、、でしたね(-_-;)
人気なのも納得なツアーでした。
ガイドさんも丁寧で子連れでも安心。助かりました！！

Thank you for today.
I was able to feel my daughter's growth as she, who is usually timid and doesn't touch living creatures, picked up a hermit crab.
We were able to see various creatures such as coconut crabs, crabs, fireflies, four types of crabs, lizards, and owls, and the stars were incredibly beautiful, which was a wonderful experience that we can't have in our everyday lives.
Both adults and children participated with excitement and enjoyment.
It was a nice point that our guide, Mr. Kimura, was very good at storytelling and paid attention to the children.

今日はありがとうございました。
いつもはびびりで生き物触れない娘がヤドカリを掴んでいて子どもの成長を感じることが出来ました。
生き物はヤシガニ、カニ、ホタル、カニ4種類、トカゲ、ミミズクを見ることができて、星がものすごくきれいに見えたのが普段暮らしているところではできないとてもいい体験ができました。
大人も子どももドキドキ楽しく参加できました。
ガイドの木村さんがとってもお話し上手で子どもにも気を配ってくれたのがうれしいポイントでした。

When I was abroad, I often got to see coconut crabs, but I was actually surprised to see such large coconut crabs here as well. It felt just like being overseas... (laughs) Jungle exploration is great, but for me, the starry sky was truly moving. The guide was someone who understood how to enjoy the experience from the customer's perspective, going beyond just being a regular guide. They not only showed us how to look at the sky but also taught us about the positions of the constellations and even how to take photos of the starry sky with an iPhone. I was impressed by their high level of hospitality. Thank you for everything!

海外にいた頃はよくヤシガニ観れてましたが、ここでも大きなヤシガニを見ることが出来、実は驚いてました。まるで、海外みたいだなと…（笑）ジャングル探検も良いですが、私には満点の星空がとても感動的でした。普通のガイドさん以上に、顧客目線での楽しみ方を心得てる方がガイドさんでしたので、単に空を眺めることだけではなく、星座の位置や、iPhone でも星空の撮影方法まで教えてくださり、ホスピタリティ度が高いなと感心です。色々ありがとうございました！

Although it was a same-day reservation, the guide provided detailed knowledge throughout the night safari and taught us about various plants and animals, including coconut crabs, hermit crabs, and crabs. After the rain, the stars were beautifully visible.

当日予約でしたが、ガイドの方がナイトサファリ道中詳しい知識で色々と教えてくださり、ヤシガニやヤドカリ、蟹など色々と動植物を見ることができました。雨が降った後で星も綺麗に見えました

It was a stay close to the full moon, but I checked the moonrise and moonset times and booked the tour on a day when the moon wouldn't be rising during the tour. Just as I hoped, we were able to see a stunning starry sky. I was also able to show my first-grade daughter the Milky Way for the first time. The tour guide mentioned that the starry sky today was beautiful, completely different from a few days ago when it was a full moon. Unfortunately, we couldn't spot any shooting stars, but it was great to see such a wonderful starry sky.

We found three coconut crabs. They were bright blue, round, and impressive. In addition, we saw a tree lizard, a gecko, and a rare insect called a cricket. It was fun searching together with all the tour guests. The guide was kind in his interactions with the children and taught us various things about plants, insects, and the attractions of Miyako Island. My daughter said she had a great time on our nighttime adventure.

満月に近い時期の滞在でしたが、月の出入り時間を調べてツアー時間中に月が登っていない日程で予約。狙い通り満点の星空を見ることが出来ました。一緒に参加した小学1年生の娘にも初めての天の川を見せてあげることが出来ました。ツアーガイドさんも満月だった数日前とは全然違って今日の星空は綺麗だと言っていました。流れ星は残念ながら探せずでしたが素晴らしい星空が見れてよかったです。
ヤシガニは3匹見つかりました。真っ青で丸っこくて迫力がありました。それ以外にキノボリトカゲやヤモリ、コロギスという珍しい昆虫も。ツアー客みんなで探すのも楽しかったです。
ガイドのお兄さん、子どもへの声掛けも優しく、植物や虫のこと、宮古島の名所のこともいろいろ教えてくれて、娘も夜の冒険楽しかったね、と言っていました。

I was very satisfied to see many mystical things, such as coconut crabs and coral caves, under the starry sky. Especially, the guide was a bright and wonderful person, and her clear way of speaking made it easy to understand, which made this tour even more special. They lent me rubber boots, and I was completely fine without getting bitten by bugs even in short sleeves.

Thank you very much!

満天の星空の中、ヤシガニやサンゴの洞窟など
神秘的なものがたくさん見れて大満足でした。
特にガイドのお姉さんが明るく素敵な方で
ハキハキとした話し方は聞きとりやすく
このツアーをさらに特別な思い出にしてくれました。
長靴を貸してくださり、半袖でも全然虫にさされず大丈夫でした。

ありがとうございました！

The guide was very kind and taught us a lot. We were able to see coconut crabs and small scorpions, and the kids were thrilled. The starry sky was also very beautiful, and we had a wonderful time. Thank you very much!

ガイドのお兄さんがとても親切で色々教えてくれました。
ヤシガニも小さなサソリも見れて、子供たちも大喜びでした。星空もとてもきれいで、楽しい一時を過ごせました。
ありがとうございました‼️

I was taken to the jungle by a tour guide, where I was able to see many rare creatures. In particular, I discovered three coconut crabs, which were very beautiful and impressive! It was a wonderful experience that allowed me to fully enjoy Ishigaki Island!

ツアーガイドの方しか知らない、ジャングルに連れて行っていただき、たくさんの珍しい生き物を見ることができました。特に、ヤシガニは3匹も発見でき、とても綺麗で感動しました！石垣島を満喫できる、とてもいい体験でした！

I was thrilled to see the long-awaited coconut crabs (4 of them), the rare Yaeyama scorpion, stick insects, Sakishima pond frogs, red crabs, owls, and other unusual creatures, as well as the starry sky!

念願のヤシガニ(4匹)、レアな八重山サソリ、ナナフシ、サキシマヌマガエル、アカガニ、フクロウなど珍しい生き物や満天の星空が見れて感激でした！

In mid-July, I traveled to Miyako Island with a friend and signed up for this tour!

As a result, we got some incredibly satisfying photos taken! When we arrived at the location, we were guided to the photographer, who asked, "Do you have any poses in mind?" I hadn't thought of anything, so I just asked them to take the lead. They provided detailed instructions, and we took about eight poses (six full-body shots from a distance and two close-ups where my face was visible).

*The photos were sent to us via email later with a URL for download.*

During the shoot, we had to stay still for about 15 seconds, which was quite challenging due to the strong wind that day…^^; However, I am very satisfied with the photos! I even bragged about them to my friend, haha.

Just a note: both my friend and I wore dresses, so even though we stood still for 15 seconds, the wind made the skirt part flutter. If you're looking for perfect photos, it might be better to wear outfits that won't be affected by the wind (the photos we received are fine and I consider that part of the memory, but for those who dislike any blurriness, it's something to keep in mind).

Another point to note is that a few days before, we received an email about a change in the meeting location (I had planned to stay at the Tokyu Resort Hotel, and the original meeting place was within walking distance, but the new location was about a 30-minute walk away). Because of this, I planned to take a taxi that day, but it was difficult to find one that evening due to the location…

When I called to inform them that I might not make it on time because I couldn't find a taxi, they kindly sent a staff member to pick us up since it was only about a five-minute drive from the Tokyu Resort Hotel (they also provided transportation after the shoot).

Currently, due to a shortage of rental cars during the pandemic, taxis in Miyako Island are busy and hard to catch, so it might be better to have reliable transportation to the meeting point…!

However, the photos are truly wonderful, and I believe the beauty of the sea and the stars is part of Miyako Island's charm, so I confidently recommend this as a memorable experience!

7月中旬に友達と宮古島に旅行に行き、
このツアーを申し込みました！

結果、とっても満足の写真を取ってもらいました！
場所に着いたら、カメラマンさんのところに案内され、「撮りたいポーズはありますか？」と聞かれましたが、何にも考えておらず、お任せでお願いしました。
細かく指示していただき、8ポーズほど取りました(6ポーズを遠目の全身、2ポーズは全身だけど、顔のわかる形でアップめ)
※写真は後日メールでURLが届き、ダウンロードする方式です。

取ってる間は、15秒ほど静止していないといけなかったのですが、風邪が強い日なのもあり割と大変でした…^^;
でも、写真は大満足です！　
友達にも自慢しました笑

ただ、注意点として私も友達もワンピースを着ていったので、15秒静止していても風でスカート部分が揺れてしまったので、
完璧な写真を求めるなら風に影響されない服装もありかなと思います(頂いた写真も、私としてはそれも思い出だし、実際気にならない程度ですが、少しでもブレるのは嫌だという方のために念のため…)

また、もう一つの注意点として、
数日前に集合場所が変更になった旨のメールが届きました(その日は東急リゾートホテルに泊まる予定で、ネット申込み時の集合場所が徒歩圏内であったで申し込んだのですが、変更後は徒歩30分ほどかかる場所でした)。
このため、当日はタクシーで行こうと考えていたのですが、当日の夜は場所が場所なだけか全然捕まらず……
急遽、タクシーが捕まらない(集合時間に間に合わないかもしれない)旨お電話したところ、東急リゾートホテルなら車で5分程度なので、ということでご厚意で急遽スタッフさんに迎えに来ていただけました(撮影終了後、送迎もしていただきました)。

現在、宮古島は、コロナ禍でレンタカー不足からのタクシーも忙しく、なかなか捕まらない状況があるため、集合場所まで足が確実な方のほうが良いかもしれません…！

ただ、写真はほんとに素敵で、海だけでなく星の綺麗さも宮古島の魅力だと思えたので、記念に自信をもっておすすめいたします！

Starting with a magnificent sunset sky and a shimmering sea, transitioning to the night view. The inorganic movement of factories and flames rising from chimneys. It's a beautiful contrast to the night scenery. ✨

壮大な夕焼けの空と光る海から始まり、夜景へと。無機質に動く工場と煙突から登る炎。夜景と対照的で素敵✨
