This time, I went on a 3-night, 4-day island-hopping trip in Okinawa. I was really looking forward to the island tour, but unfortunately, the weather was mostly rainy or drizzly from the first day until the end, which greatly disappointed my expectations. We also had to cancel the glass-bottom boat tour. The meals at the hotel were also not great. I've heard that the weather in Okinawa is good in the fall, so I would like to try visiting again around that time.
今回は3泊4日で沖縄の離島めぐりに行ってきました。
とても楽しみに待ってた離島めぐりでした‥が1日目から帰りまでのほとんど天候は雨、小雨 と期待は大きく裏切られた。グラスボートもキャンセルせざるを得ませんでした。ホテルの食事内容も今一。沖縄は秋が天候が良いと言う事ですので次回は秋頃にもう一度行ってみたいと思います。

I used the water buffalo cart and rental bicycle set. I was worried about the weather, but despite the cloudy skies, it didn't rain. When I arrived at Taketomi Island by ferry, I was greeted by a bus. Since it was the first morning on a weekday, I felt a bit guilty being the only one.
Pulled by the water buffalo, we leisurely traveled for about 30 minutes, enjoying the guide's explanations and songs. I was a bit anxious about the rental bicycle not having a lock, but I was reassured that "there are no police or thieves," and if there were any punctures or theft, they would bring a replacement, which is a service you don't find elsewhere, so I felt secure.
It was unfortunate that the glass-bottom boat I wanted to enjoy was canceled due to strong winds. Booking the glass-bottom boat set might carry a bit of risk.
水牛車とレンタサイクルのセットを利用しました。
天気が心配でしたが曇天ながらも雨には降られず、フェリーで竹富島に着いたところでバスのお出迎え、平日の朝一番だったので自分一人で申し訳なかったです。
水牛に引かれてのんびりと30分弱ですか、ガイドの方の説明や唄などで楽しませてもらいました。
レンタサイクルは鍵がないのがちょっと不安でしたが「警察署も泥棒もいない」とのことで、パンクや盗難があった場合は連絡をすれば代わりを持ってきてくれる、なんてサービスは他にはありませんので安心できます。
風が強くてセット以外ですがグラスボートを楽しもうとしたのが欠航だったのが残念、グラスボートのセットを予約するのはちょっとリスクがあるかもしれません。

We went as a family starting from February 15. We were able to sit at the very front of the water buffalo cart, listened to the sanshin, and the weather was great, so it was the best experience. The water buffalo cart, Upper-kun, was big... good job! I was surprised at how many tourists there were even on a weekday. It's February, after all...

You can efficiently enjoy island hopping.
At the Ishigaki Island ferry terminal, you can pick up tickets for the boat and meals before departing on your own.
First, take a comfortable, spacious high-speed boat for 40 minutes, followed by a cruise on the Nakama River in Iriomote Island, and then visit Yubu Island by water buffalo, where you can enjoy a meal.
The meal was an Okinawan cuisine bento, and the atmosphere was enhanced by the singing of the sea's voice while on the water buffalo.
離島めぐりを効率よく楽しめます。
石垣島の離島ターミナルで船や食事などの切符を受け取って各自で出発。
最初は新しくて広い快適な高速船で40分、西表島の仲間川クルーズ、水牛で由布島、食事。
食事は沖縄料理のお弁当で、水牛では海の声歌付きで雰囲気ありました。

When I specified a leisurely time in the morning, the hotel came to pick me up right on schedule. The water buffalo cart tour was enjoyable thanks to the guide's excellent explanations. I was also free to choose my return time, so I explored the island by rental bicycle and had lunch. After that, they took me to Taketomi Port in time for my boat. Once I arrived at Ishigaki Port, I strolled around Ishigaki City for about an hour and was able to take the next bus back to the hotel. I was able to enjoy free time at various locations and had a great experience with a tour that wasn't rigidly structured.
朝ゆっくりの時間を指定すると、ホテルに定刻通りに迎えに来てくれた。
水牛車の観光はガイドさんの説明が良く楽しめた。
帰りの時間も自由に選べたので、レンタル自転車で島内巡りをし、昼食をとった。
その後、船の時間に合わせ竹富港まで送ってくれた。
石垣港に着いた後、1時間ほど石垣市街地を散歩し、次のバスでホテルに送ってもらえた。各所で自由な時間をとることができ、お仕着せでないツアーを楽しむことができた。

About 15 minutes from Ishigaki Port Ferry Terminal, upon landing at Taketomi Port, a shuttle bus is waiting to take you to the center of the village located almost in the middle of the island. After about 5 minutes, you arrive at the place where the water buffalo carts depart, and from there, a 30-minute water buffalo cart tour begins. You progress between traditional Yaeyama buildings characterized by coral stone walls and red-tiled roofs. The classic "Asiriya Yunta" is sung by the driver and guide accompanied by the sanshin, filling the journey with a sense of adventure. It's significantly cheaper than paying for the ferry and water buffalo cart tour separately.
石垣港離島ターミナルから約15分、竹富港に上陸すると、島のほぼ中央にある集落の中心に向かう送迎バスが待っている。5分ほどで水牛車の発着する場所に到着し、そこから約30分の水牛車観光が始まる。サンゴの石を積み重ねた垣根と赤瓦の屋根が特徴な八重山の伝統的な建物の間を進む。定番の「安里屋ユンタ」も御者兼ガイドさんが三線の伴奏で唄って、一気に旅情が満たされる旅となりました。船代と水牛車観光を別々に支払うよりかなり格安。

I think renting a bicycle is the best option on Taketomi Island since it's a small island. Unfortunately, the weather during my visit wasn't great, so I couldn't enjoy the scenery, but I was able to relax. I was impressed by the Ryukyu architecture under construction that I included in the photo; I'm not sure if it's a private home or commercial, but it's a style that you rarely get to see.
竹富島は狭い島なのでレンタサイクルがベストだと思います。今回の良好ではあいにくの天気で景色どころではなかったですが、のんびりと過ごすことが出来ました。写真に載せた建築中の琉球建築は民家か商用かは不明ですが滅多に観ることが出来ない様式に感動しました。

Yakushima, which I had always wanted to visit someday, was finally realized this year, considering my age and work situation as the perfect opportunity. It was mid-November, but the weather was warm, and luckily, we hardly encountered any rain.
The tramway path was as long as I expected, but walking while enjoying the scenery made it manageable. The steep mountain trails were not as daunting as I had anticipated, so even someone like me, who doesn't exercise much, was able to walk. The guidance and explanations from our guide were excellent, encouraging us along the way.
A significant advantage of this tour is that we could take a dedicated bus directly to the trailhead. Since we stayed in Awa, which is close to the trailhead, we were able to get some sleep right up until the last minute. A light is essential during this season.
ずっといつかは行きたいと思っていた屋久島。年齢的にも仕事の状況も今年がチャンスと思い、
決行しました。11月中旬でしたが、暖かく、ラッキーにも雨にもほとんど合わなかったです。
トロッコ道は予想通り長かったですが、景色を見ながら歩くとそれほど苦にならず、急な山道も
覚悟していたほど登りばかりではなかったので、日ごろそれほど運動していない私でも歩けました。ガイドさんの誘導、説明もとても良くて、私たちの背中を押してくれました。
このツアーは直接登山口まで専用のバスで行けることが大きなメリットです。登山口に近い安房に宿泊したので、比較的ぎりぎりまで睡眠取れました。この季節、ライトは必需品です。

I participated in the Jomon Sugi tour in late October. I was looking forward to it because I read online that it doesn't rain much in autumn, but unfortunately, it rained. I heard that there are only about 10 sunny days out of 365, so I came to terms with it (laughs).
Even though it was raining, the beauty unique to the rain made the trekking enjoyable, and I didn't feel any discomfort from the rain at all. The guide's talk was also very entertaining, and since there were few hikers, I was able to take a lot of photos, making it a very satisfying trekking experience.
Additionally, this tour doesn't require any bus transfers, which was very appreciated by my tired body, and I'm really glad I chose this tour.
10月下旬縄文杉ツアーに参加しました。秋はそこまで雨に降られないとネットで見たので、楽しみにしていましたが、あいにくの雨でした。365日中10日しか晴れてる日がないそうで、諦めがつきました(笑)
トレッキングは雨でも、雨ならではの美しさがあって、雨の不快感とか全く感じず楽しめました。ガイドさんのトークもとても楽しく、登山者も少なかったので写真も沢山取ってくれて、大大満足のトレッキングとなりました。
また、このツアーはバスの乗り換えもないので、疲れた身体にもとても有難く、このツアーにして本当に良かったなと思っています。

In the morning, I noticed at the Ishigaki Island boarding area that there are numerous tour operators. Departure times vary depending on the boat (tour company). With so many options, you can choose a provider that fits your schedule. I was amazed by the star sand on the beach; it's worth seeing at least once. The ox cart experience feels sufficient after just one time. It moves leisurely around the nearby area.

Riding a water buffalo cart and visiting Taketomi Island had been my long-time dream, and this time, both dreams came true at once! The hotel and port transfers, explanations at the port, and guidance along the way were all smooth, and I didn't feel any stress at all. The staff at each facility we visited were very friendly and seemed accustomed to dealing with tourists. I was a bit anxious about not being able to choose the lunch menu, but it had a good amount of Okinawan ingredients and was delicious! Since I used a rental bicycle on Taketomi Island, I was able to explore at my own pace and decide my return time, which was great. I think this course is highly recommended for those visiting remote islands for the first time!
水牛車に乗る事と竹富島に行く事が長年の夢だったので、今回一気に夢が叶いました!
ホテルと港の送迎、港での説明、途中の案内もスムーズで何もストレスを感じませんでした。
途中お世話になった各施設のスタッフの方々も、観光客慣れされてるようでとても親切でした。
昼食のメニューが選べないのが不安だったのですが、適度に沖縄食材が入っていて美味しかったです♪
竹富島ではレンタサイクルを利用したので、マイペースに回れて帰りの時間も自分で決められて良かったです。
初めて離島巡りをされる方にはオススメのコースだと思います!

I was worried about muscle pain since I went to Jomon Sugi the day before, but I was fine. The moss was a beautiful, deep green, and I was truly moved by it. The scenery with light streaming in was wonderful and fantastical. This course ends after a short walk into the mossy forest in half a day, but if the itinerary allows, I would have liked to go further to enjoy even denser moss at a leisurely pace. Since my flight was in the afternoon, I felt that a full-day course would also be appealing for next time.
前日に縄文杉まで行ったので筋肉痛が心配でしたが大丈夫でした。緑色がとても濃い綺麗な苔で感動します。光が差し込んだ風景は素晴らしく幻想的です。このコースは半日で苔むす森に少し入ったところで終了ですが旅程が可能ならもっと先まで進んで更に濃い苔を眺めてゆっくりしたかったです。飛行機が午後だったため次回は1日コースも魅力的だなと感じました。

It was mostly trekking in the rain, but I was extremely satisfied! In mid-November, it was rainy, but the climate was warm. However, during breaks, it can get cold from the rain and sweat, and since the weather is unpredictable, I recommend being well-prepared! I think a folding umbrella, waterproof clothing, trekking shoes, gloves, and a light are essential. Since the distance is considerable, if you're feeling anxious, having a trekking pole can make it a bit easier.
Of course, Jomon Sugi was great, but I was surprised by Wilson Cedar! I think women will involuntarily exclaim!
The highlight was the guide! I was able to meet a wonderful guide and truly had a fun time! Thank you so much! I will definitely visit Yakushima again, so I hope to see you then! ✨
ほぼ雨の中でのトレッキングでしたが、大大大満足でした!
11月中旬で雨でしたが、気候は暖かかったです。ただ、休憩中は雨と汗で冷えるのと、天候がわからないので、装備はしっかり整えて行くことをおすすめします!折りたたみ傘、防水性の服、トレッキングシューズ、手袋、ライトは必用だと思います。距離があるので、不安な方は、ステッキがあると少しは楽だと思います。
縄文杉はもちろんよかったですが、ウィルソン杉は、びっくりしました!女性の方は思わず声をあげると思います!

Jomon Sugi is tough, and I was quite intimidated, but it's definitely a worthwhile experience, so if you're going to Yakushima, you should definitely go. The trolley path is indeed long, but the scenery is wonderful and breathtaking, and there is a lot of beautiful moss, so I personally didn't get bored. On the contrary, I was filled with negative ions and adrenaline, and it was fun. They say Yakushima has a lot of rain, but being blessed with good weather might have contributed to my enjoyment. I thought trekking in the rain might feel long. Also, being able to reach the trailhead without any transfers from the accommodation is a merit of this tour. There are some steep paths where you have to choose which rocks to step on, but the sense of achievement when you reach Jomon Sugi is quite significant! I think if you wear comfortable trekking shoes and get plenty of sleep, it will become a fun lifelong memory!
縄文杉は辛い、大変だとかなりびびってましたが絶対に価値のある体験なので屋久島に行くなら是非とも行くべきです。確かにトロッコ道は長いですが
景色が素晴らしく絶景ですし、綺麗な苔がたくさんあるので私は特に飽きませんでした。むしろ、マイナスイオンとアドレナリンがでまくりで楽しかったです。屋久島は雨がとても多いといいますがお天気に恵まれてたのも楽しめた要因かもしれません。雨のなかのトレッキングは長く感じてしまうかもと思いました。また宿から乗り換えなしで登山口まで行けるのもこのツアーのメリットです。途中、どの岩を選んですすめばいいのかみたいな険しい道もありますが縄文杉にたどり着いた達成感はかなりのものです!
はきなれたトレッキングシューズとたっぷりの睡眠をとれば楽しい一生の思い出になると思います!

Ishigaki Island has many rental car companies, and they often provide shuttle services to hotels, with spacious hotel parking available. Among the many options for local tours, Dream Tourism offers shuttle services even in resort areas if you stay at designated hotels, which is great for families with children! If you plan well, you can do some sightseeing in the city after arriving in Ishigaki Island and then return. Since I had various activities planned on Taketomi Island, it was helpful to be able to leave the stroller at the island counter. My child loves vehicles, so we took many modes of transportation: bus → boat → glass-bottom boat → van → ox cart → bicycle → bus → boat → bus, and we were satisfied with the beautiful sea, fish, and the warmth of the people. If you don't rent a car, I recommend Dream Tourism. Depending on the time, there may be waiting periods, so it's good to adjust the arrival time of the tour shuttle bus to the port and the departure time. I chose the 9:20 departure, which was about 15 minutes from the port arrival to the boat departure.
石垣島はレンタカー会社が多く、ホテルまでレンタカー会社が送迎してくれたり、ホテルの駐車場も広かったりするので、現地集合現地解散が多い中、ドリーム観光さんは、指定ホテルならリゾート地区でも送迎ありなのが子連れには嬉しいです!うまく調整すれば帰りは石垣島着いてから市街地観光して、戻ることが出来ます。竹富島は色々動く予定だったので、離島のカウンターでベビーカー預けられて助かりました。乗り物好きな子なので、バス→船→グラスボート→バン→牛車→自転車→バス→船→バスと沢山乗り物に乗り、綺麗な海、魚、牛、人の温かさに触れ満足です。レンタカー借りない日ならドリーム観光おすすめです。時間によっては待ち時間も出るので、ツアーの送迎バスの港への到着時間、出航時間を調整すると良いです。私は港着から船発まで15分くらいの9:20発にしました。

I intended to enjoy the atmosphere of Taketomi Island while leisurely watching the speed of the water buffalo, but they stopped frequently, waiting for their "marking" (laughs). My expectations were not met. Well, they are living creatures, so that's to be expected. It seems like there is a set course, and they really only walk a short distance. I think it would be the same no matter which company you use.
If I had to say, using this service means you can only use this company's boat. They will take you to the boarding area according to the boat's departure time, but you can't enjoy the scenery at the dock leisurely. This is because the boat schedule is fixed. If you don't catch the right boat, there is quite a gap until the next one. If you want to conveniently use boats from other companies, I think it would be easier to book a boat individually and sign up for the water buffalo tour separately. You can go without a reservation. There is a bus waiting that will take you to the water buffalo boarding area. They also provided a ride back. It may be a bit more expensive, but that way you can ride any company's boat, which is more convenient. I was staying at Hotel Nikko Yaeyama, so I found the shuttle service appealing, but since I had a rental car and the parking at the island terminal is cheap, the shuttle might not have been that attractive. Even if I wanted to get a ride back from the island, the shuttle bus only departs at 2:30 PM at the earliest. I took the local bus back. It's a nice place to visit for a memory (though I didn't go to Hoshizuna Beach).
水牛さんの歩くスピードを楽しみながらゆっくり竹富島の雰囲気を味わうつもりで行きましたが、すぐ止まるし、マーキングとやらの排泄待ち(笑)。期待は裏切られます。まあ、生き物ですからそんなものです。コースは決められているようで、ホントに歩いてもすぐの距離しか歩きません。たぶん、どの会社を利用しても同じだと思います。
強いて言えば、こちらを使えば当然こちらの会社の船しか利用できません。船の出る時間に合わせて乗り場まで送ってくれるのですが、船着き場でゆっくり風景を楽しんだりできません。それは船の時間が決まっているからです。ちょうどの船に乗らないと、次の船まで間隔がかなりあるからです。他の会社の船も便利に使おうと思ったら、個人で船に乗って、個人で水牛観光に申し込んだ方が便利だと思いました。予約なしに行っても大丈夫です。バスが待っていて、水牛乗り場まで送ってくれますから。帰りも送ってくれていました。割高になりますが、そのほうがどの会社の船にも乗れますし便利です。私は日航八重山に泊まっていたので送迎を魅力に思いましたが、レンタカーがあったし、離島ターミナルの駐車場は安いから、送迎は魅了的ではなかったかも。島から帰ってきて送ってもらおうと思っても、送迎バスは早くて14時30分発しかない。私は路線バスで帰りました。記念に行くには良い程度です(星砂海岸までは行っていません)。

I felt that our guide, Mr. Manabe, was very kind. He introduced us to various aspects of Jomon Sugi. Thank you for the hospitality with the miso soup during lunch. I'm glad I came to Yakushima. Thank you, Mr. Manabe.
ガイドの真辺さんが優しくしてくれていいなと感じました。縄文杉についていろいろ紹介してくれました。昼飯の時、味噌汁のおもてなしをしてくださいましてありがとうございした。屋久島にきてよかった。真辺さん、ありがとうございました。

You can efficiently enjoy island hopping.
At the Ishigaki Island ferry terminal, you can pick up tickets for boats and meals before departing on your own.
First, take a comfortable, spacious high-speed boat for 40 minutes, followed by a Nakama River cruise on Iriomote Island, and then visit Yubu Island with water buffalo, where you can enjoy a meal.
The meal was an Okinawan bento, and the atmosphere was enhanced by the song "Tears Soaked with Tears" at the water buffalo experience.
From Iriomote to Taketomi, it was over 30 minutes on a smaller boat, and it was hot.
After that, we took a glass-bottom boat, but it was disappointing due to the poor sea conditions after the typhoon.
We chose to take a bus on the island due to concerns about rain, but there was too little time for free exploration in Taketomi.
We only had about 15 minutes, which was unfortunate as we couldn't enjoy visiting the lovely souvenir shops or having tea.
My daughters, who chose the rental bicycle plan, were able to select their preferred ferry times (16:00, 17:00, 17:40) and enjoyed themselves until the last ferry. I was envious.
If you're confident in your physical stamina, I recommend this option.
By the way, the 16:00 ferry was the same comfortable high-speed boat as in the morning, while the 17:40 ferry was a smaller boat, but it had a cool cabin below.
離島めぐりを効率よく楽しめます。
石垣島の離島ターミナルで船や食事などの切符を受け取って各自で出発。
最初は新しくて広い快適な高速船で40分、西表島の仲間川クルーズ、水牛で由布島、食事。
食事は沖縄料理のお弁当で、水牛では涙そうそうの歌付きで雰囲気ありました。
西表から竹富までは小さめの船30分以上、暑かったです。
その後グラスボート、台風後のコンディションの悪い海なのが残念でした。
島内は雨を警戒してバスを選択しましたが、竹富自由散策の時間が少なすぎます。
15分くらいしかなく、素敵なお土産店巡りとかお茶とかの時間は取れず残念でした。
同行の娘たちはレンタサイクルプランでしたので、好きな船便(16時、17時、17時40)が選べて、最後の便まで楽しんでから戻りました。羨ましかったです。
体力に自信があるならこちらをお勧めします。
因みに16時は朝と同じ快適な高速船。17:40は小さな船でしたが下に涼しい船室があったそうです。

This time, my spouse and I participated in this tour. According to the guidebook, there was a comment that "seeing Jomon Sugi requires a long hike, which is tough," and both my wife and I felt anxious about whether we could reach Jomon Sugi, which made us hesitate to join at first. However, my wife said, "If we're going to Yakushima, we definitely want to see Jomon Sugi," and we decided to take on the challenge.
To conclude, while the distance is indeed long, the ascent was not as difficult as we had imagined, and Jomon Sugi is absolutely worth seeing. I highly recommend this challenge to anyone who is unsure.
On this tour, we were able to take a dedicated bus from the hotel to the trailhead, which was a great help as we didn't have to wait for the bus after descending. There were about 30 people in total on the bus, but we were divided into four teams, each led by a guide, and our team had seven members. In the first half, we walked along the trolley path, and in the second half, we climbed a steep mountain path that included quite challenging stairs. Along the way, we were moved by the famous three giant cedars, Wilson stump, and the Great Cedar, as well as many unnamed giant stumps and moss-covered rocks, taking photos and listening to the guide's explanations, which made the journey to Jomon Sugi feel less painful. I believe this was also thanks to the guide's pacing and the timing of our breaks.
When we finally faced Jomon Sugi, I was overwhelmed by its size and presence, and the closer I got, the more I felt moved to witness it in person. On the way back, while I had to be careful not to trip on the mountain path, the trolley path felt monotonous and long, making me wish I could descend that part quickly by trolley.
As a bonus, we encountered Yakushima deer and Yakushima monkeys along the way, and for a moment, we experienced a sudden downpour like a rain shower. It truly was a day where we could fully experience Yakushima.
今回夫婦でこのツアーに参加しました。ガイドブックによると「縄文杉を見るには長距離の山登りで大変」とのコメントがあり、家内も含め縄文杉まで辿り着くことが出来るのか不安を覚え、当初参加を躊躇していました。しかし「屋久島まで行くならやはり縄文杉を見たい」との家内の一言でチャレンジすることに。結論からいうと、距離は確かに長いものの、上りは思っていたほどでもなく、縄文杉は絶対に一見の価値あり、迷っている人には是非挑戦をお勧めします。
このツアーではホテルから専用バスで登山口まで行くことが出来たのですが、これは下山後にバスを待つ必要もなく、思った以上に助かりました。バス全体では30数名でしたが、それを4チームに分け、それぞれガイドさん1名が引率する形で我々のチームは7名でした。前半はトロッコ道をひたすら歩き、後半はかなりきつい階段も含めた山道を登るのですが、その途中で次々に出てくる有名な三大杉、ウイルソン株、大王杉等は勿論、名もない巨大な切り株や、苔むした岩々等を見て感動し、夢中で写真を撮ったり、ガイドさんの説明を聞いている間に、それ程苦痛も感じず縄文杉にまで到達。これはガイドさんのメンバーをみたペース配分や、休憩のタイミングのお陰もあるかと思います。対面した縄文杉はその大きさといい、存在感といい、近づけば近づくほど圧倒され、目の当たりに出来たことに感動を覚えました。帰り道ですが、山道部分は転ばぬよう注意して一生懸命降りていけばいいのですが、トロッコ道部分は単調な為、ひたすら長く感じ、この部分だけはトロッコで一気に下りてしまいたいと思ってしまいました。
尚、おまけですが、途中屋久鹿や屋久猿とも出くわしたり、一瞬ですが通り雨のようなスコールが降ってきたりと、本当、屋久島を丸ごと体感出来た一日でした。

I participated with my girlfriend. Although the weather wasn't very good, it was a satisfying tour that provided a very valuable experience. Without a specific time limit, we enjoyed a water buffalo tour and a rental bicycle tour, spending about four hours on the island, relishing the leisurely water buffalo sightseeing and the freedom of exploring the island on bicycles. In the morning, there were many people, but as the evening approached, the crowds thinned out, so for those who want a more relaxed experience, I recommend going later in the day. Also, you should definitely visit the shallow beach; it will surely become a wonderful memory, so you should bring your swimsuit.
彼女と参加しました。
天候があまり良くない日でしたが、とても貴重な体験が出来て満足なツアーでした。
滞在時間を特に決めずに私達は水牛観光+レンタサイクルのツアーを体験し、のんびりとした時間の水牛観光と島内を自由に回れるレンタルサイクルを満喫したので、4時間程島に滞在しました。
午前中は人が多く夕方になるにつれて人が減ってきていたのでよりのんびりしたい人は遅めの時間がオススメです。
また遠浅の浜のビーチは是非いった方が良いです。
きっととても良い思い出になるので水着は持って行くべきです。
