All Reviews for Stargazing

They picked us up at the hotel, and the tour started with the night view of Ishigaki Island.

On this day, there were two couples, including us, and the guides were two people, one of whom spoke English fluently, which was impressive!

The other guide was a professional in stargazing! Although there were some clouds, we were able to enjoy the night sky with detailed explanations of the constellations. They took wonderful photos of the starry sky with a special camera and sent them to us the next day, creating great memories. Thank you very much. (The starry sky photo actually includes my full back view, but it has been cropped. They also sent about three other variations, including seated shots!)

During the night tour, we were able to see many tropical creatures, such as wild owls, large hermit crabs, and crabs, which was great!

Unfortunately, we couldn't see the coconut crab, but it was a relaxing evening stroll that was heartwarming and enjoyable!

ホテルまで迎えにきてくれて、まずは石垣島の夜景からツアースタート。

この日は私たちと外国人カップルの二組でした。
ガイドさんは二人で、お一人は英語がペラペラですごかったです！

また、もう一人のガイドさんは星空のプロフェッショナル！
少し雲はかかっていたものの、丁寧な星座の解説とともに星空を楽しめました！
専用のカメラで素晴らしい星空フォトを撮ってくれて、
翌日には送ってくれていい思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。
(星空写真、本当は後ろ姿全身入っていますが、トリミングして載せています。このほかにも座りショットなど3パターンくらい送ってくださいました！)

ナイトツアーでは野生のフクロウや大きなヤドカリや蟹など南国ならではの生物を沢山見ることができてよかったです！

残念ながらヤシガニは見れませんでしたが、
のんびり夜の散歩という感じでほっこり楽しいひとときでした！

At first, I was worried about the bad weather, but I had a great time seeing various animals.
I saw a bat while driving.
I also heard the voice of an owl.
There were fireflies as well.
I was surprised to find that what I thought was an adult was actually a larva, and the larva was glowing.
During our exploration with flashlights, we found a beetle. Unlike regular beetles, this one had small horns, and at first, I thought it was a female, but upon closer inspection, I saw that it had tiny horns.
Later, we found a coconut crab, which was the animal I wanted to see the most, so I was very happy.

最初は天気が悪くてどうなるか心配でしたがいろいろな動物を見れて楽しかったです
運転中にコウモリがいました
またフクロウの声が聞こえました
ホタルの光もありました
成虫かと思いきや幼虫で幼虫が光っている事に驚きました
懐中電灯をもった探索ではカブトムシがいました普通のカブトムシとは違いツノが小さく初めはメスかと思いましたがよく見ると小さなツノが生えていました
その後はヤシガニがみつかりました
一番見たかった動物なので嬉しかったです

I went on a 2-night, 3-day trip to Ishigaki Island and made a same-day reservation on a whim. There were many stargazing tours available, but considering the possibility of not being able to see anything due to the weather, I chose this tour that included stargazing and a night safari. It turned out to be the right choice! The sky was quite cloudy, and the conditions were about 60 out of 100, but I was able to see stars through the gaps in the clouds. During the night safari, I was able to see coconut crabs, fireflies, and owls. It was a rare and valuable experience that I wouldn't normally have. The guide also provided local information and recommended shops, which was great as well. Thank you!

石垣島に2泊3日の旅行へ行き、思いつきで当日に予約をしました。
星空ツアーはたくさんありましたが、天気の関係で見られなかった時を考えて、星空鑑賞にナイトサファリのついたこのツアーを選びました。
結果正解でした！
雲が多く、空のコンディションは60点といったところでしたが、星は雲の抜けたところから見ることができました。
ナイトサファリではヤシガニやホタル、フクロウなど見ることができました。
なかなかできない貴重な体験ができました。
ガイドの方に現地の情報やおすすめのお店なども教えていただくことができ、そちらも良かったです。ありがとうございました。

We visited Miyako Island for our honeymoon and made a reservation for a photo shoot as a keepsake.

However, the weather on the day was cloudy, and we couldn't see the starry sky... At that time, we received a message from the staff. They suggested, "If it's okay with you, how about rescheduling for another day?" They proposed a new date that matched our schedule and the weather.

Thanks to that, we changed the date and were able to take photos under a beautiful starry sky.

The shoot itself took place in a location that is not commonly known to the public, so there was no light around, allowing us to see countless stars with the naked eye.

The staff also clearly guided us on posing for the shoot, so even beginners can strike cool poses.

新婚旅行で宮古島を訪れたので、記念に撮影予約いたしました。

しかし、当日の天気は曇りで星空は望めず…
その時、スタッフの方から連絡が来ました。
「もしよろしかったら、別日でどうでしょうか」
と私たちの日程と天気を合わせて提案してくれました。

おかげさまで後日に変更し、とてもきれいな星空で写真を撮ってもらえました。

撮影自体は一般の人が知らなそうな場所で行うので、周りに光が無く肉眼でも無数の星を観測できました。

撮影のポージングもわかりやすく教えてくれますので、初心者でもかっこいいポーズが撮れます。

It was great to have an explanation of constellations that cannot be seen in the Kanto region. However, I had some concerns about the guide wearing a mask under their chin from the start. They were explaining loudly while wearing it like that. I also wondered if the person playing the sanshin was wearing a mask; I couldn't confirm in the dark. During the performance, it seemed like the distance to the front row was quite close. It was also disappointing that there was no spacing between the audience. Other than that, it was excellent.

関東では見れない星座の説明があり、良かったです。しかし、スタート時から説明するガイドさんが顎マスクは、、、どうかと思いました。顎マスクで大きい声での説明。あと三線を弾いてる人もマスクをしていたのか？暗闇で確認できませんでした疑問です。演奏中、最前列との距離が近かったような？あと観客との間隔もなかったのは残念。あとは最高でした。

Within the two-hour time frame, it was mostly just a drive and a brief stop for a nighttime stroll along the coast to see the stars. It wasn't really something you could call a stargazing tour.

2時間の所要時間内で、ほぼドライブと夜の海岸散歩で星空は立ったまま少し立ち寄った程度。。星空ツアーと呼べるようなものでは無かった。

We visited Miyako Island for our honeymoon and had a photoshoot under the starry sky! The photographer was kind and attentive throughout, sharing lots of information about Miyako Island and its tourist spots. Thanks to them, we had a great trip the next day too! The starry sky has different seasons, so I would love to visit again in another season for another shoot. Thank you for a fun time filled with laughter and emotion!

新婚旅行で宮古島に訪問し、満天の星空のもと、撮影していただきました！！
カメラマンさんは終始親切丁寧な方で、宮古島の情報や観光スポットなどたくさん教えていただきました。お陰様で翌日も良い旅が出来ました！！
星空には四季があるので、また違う季節に訪れて撮ってもらいたいなと思いました☆
笑あり、感動ありの楽しいひと時をありがとうございました！！！

After getting married, we couldn't go on our honeymoon due to COVID-19 and became pregnant, so we decided to book a trip after entering the stable period since we wouldn't be able to travel as a couple for a while. We signed up for a starry sky photo tour to capture memorable photos for our wedding a year later.

At first, I was skeptical about whether we could really take beautiful photos like those shown in the promotional images, but when I inquired, they assured me, "You can." So, I was looking forward to it.

On the day of the shoot, we were blessed with good weather. I communicated several desired poses, and we also took photos based on their suggestions, and before we knew it, an hour had passed. There were a few retakes to get better shots, but I was happier with that than if they had just taken random photos. (My husband trusted Shinpei, who approached the starry sky photography with a sense of responsibility and created works, rather than a photographer who would just chase after business.)

By the way, it seems that lighter clothing photographs better, and we needed to stay still for 15 seconds during the shoot. I was also grateful to receive the data the next day.

Thank you for helping us create wonderful memories!

結婚後、コロナで新婚旅行に行けず妊娠し、夫婦2人での旅行もしばらくできなくなるため安定期に入ってから旅行を予約。1年後の結婚式のため記念に残る写真をと星空フォトのツアーに申し込みました。
掲載写真を見た当初は本当に掲載写真のようなキレイなものが撮れるのか半信半疑でしたが、問合せで「撮れます」と言って貰ったので楽しみにしていました。

撮影当日は、天気にも恵まれ、いくつか希望のポーズを伝えたほか、提案頂いたポーズで撮影し、あっという間に1時間が過ぎました。よりキレイに撮るために何度か撮り直し等はありますが、適当に撮られるより嬉しかったです。(夫も、商売になびいて色々手出しする写真家よりも星空フォトの職人として責任感を持ち作品を作ってくれる慎平さんを信頼していました)
ちなみに服装は白っぽい方がキレイに撮れるみたいで、撮影時は15秒静止が必要です。
データ納品も翌日に頂けてありがたかったです。

素敵な思い出を作って頂き、ありがとうございました！

The bus arrived on time, and we boarded. The tour guide was friendly and very easy to talk to. First, we headed out to see the starry sky. Along the way, we were able to see various creatures, and I was excited from the start. The starry sky was, of course, beautiful. Coming from Tokyo, it was too beautiful for me. After that, we went on the Safari Night Tour. We were able to see various creatures such as coconut crabs, large frogs, hermit crabs, and owls. Even on the dark paths, I wasn't scared at all, and I had an incredible time; it was a wonderful experience. I would like to go again.

定刻通りにバスが来てくれて、バスに乗車。
ツアーの担当のお兄さんは気さくな方で、とても話しやすかった。
まずは、星空を見に向かった。
その途中、色々な生き物をみれたり、最初から興奮していた。
星空はもちろん綺麗。
普段東京に住んでいる私からしたら、綺麗すぎた。
その後は、サファリナイトツアーへ。
ヤシガニ、大きなカエル、ヤドカリ、フクロウなどさまざまな生き物を見ることが出来た。
暗い道でも全く怖くなく、ものすごく楽しめてとてもいい経験になりました。
また行きたいと思います。

There were many clouds, and some stars were hidden, but the clouds moved quickly, and they explained the areas where the stars were visible. When it was hard to see, they shared enjoyable stories, making it a wonderful experience. Thank you very much.

雲が多く、星が隠れているところもありましたが、雲の動きが早くて星が見えたところの説明をしてくれて、見えにくいときは楽しいお話をして、とても良い体験をしました。ありがとうございました。

Since there is no shuttle service included, adding it will cost an additional 2,000 yen. It's cheaper than taking a taxi. I participated because I wanted to see the coconut crabs, and I was able to see many of them. Additionally, I observed various other rare plants and animals, which was very interesting. I also saw the endangered climbing lizard. The guide, Takagi, is a young man from the mainland, and he studied well, diligently searching for creatures and providing various explanations. Although the stars were not very visible due to the moonlight, I was satisfied as I enjoyed the natural beauty of Miyako, starting with the coconut crabs.

送迎がついていないので、送迎をつけるとプラス2000円です。タクシーよりは安いです。ヤシガニが見たくて参加しました。ヤシガニがたくさん見れました。そのほかにもいろいろ珍しい動植物が観察できて、とても面白かったです。絶滅危惧種の木のぼりトカゲも見れました。ガイドのたかぎさんは本土出身のお兄さんですが、よく勉強していて、一生懸命生き物を探して、いろいろ説明してくれました。星は月明かりでよく見えませんでしたが、ヤシガニはじめ、たくさん宮古の自然を楽しむことができて、満足でした。

I participated in stargazing and a night safari. That day, due to strong winds, I was told there was a 60% chance of seeing fireflies, but I was satisfied to see many creatures and fireflies! At the end, I was able to enjoy a wonderful night view, making for an even more fulfilling experience.

星空鑑賞&ナイトサファリに参加させて頂きました。
その日風が強いことから、蛍など見れる可能性が60%と言われましたが沢山の生き物や蛍が見れて満足です！
また最後には素敵な夜景が見れて更に満喫した時間を過ごすことができました。

The jungle night tour had various explanations, and it was fun to see the coconut crab. The stargazing tour was fantastic as we were blessed with good weather and could see many beautiful stars! I wished for a mat to lie down and watch the stars.

We were taken to a hidden sandy beach, where we could also see the beautiful starry sky from the beach. There is a shuttle service, so it's safe even at night. However, transportation outside the area around Uehara Port incurs a fee, so I recommend checking in advance.

ジャングルナイトツアーは色々説明があり、ヤシガニも見れて楽しかったです。　　　
星空ツアーは天気にも恵まれて、綺麗な星がたくさん見られて最高でした！星を横になって見るようにマットが欲しかったです。　　　　　　　　　
穴場の砂浜に連れてっていただき、ビーチからも綺麗な星空がみれました。
送迎もありますので夜でも安心です。上原港周辺以外の送迎はお金がかかるので、事前に確認することをオススメします。

I was able to take wonderful photos under a beautiful starry sky.

Since my own camera couldn't capture the beautiful stars, I was grateful to have the photographer take the pictures for me.

There was a forecast for cloudy weather that day, but they adjusted the timing, and as a result, we were able to shoot in completely clear conditions. It was very lucky because clouds appeared right after the shoot.

It became a very good memory. Thank you very much.

綺麗な星空の下で素敵な写真を撮っていただきました。

自分のカメラでは綺麗な星を映すことができないので、カメラマンさんに撮っていただけるのはありがたいことでした。

当日は曇りの予報もありましたが、時間を調整して頂き、結果的に雲ひとつない状態で撮影を行うことが出来ました。撮影の後、すぐに雲が出てきたのでとてもラッキーでした。

とても良い思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました。

The staff members were very pleasant! However, since we are dealing with nature, we were unable to see the starry sky as expected due to the weather. There's nothing we can do about that, right? The staff did search for us, and we were able to see a coconut crab. Since this isn't a trip to a planetarium or a zoo, it's important not to have overly high expectations. However, if the weather is favorable and luck is on your side, it's definitely a wonderful tour! 😊 Thank you very much to all the tour staff.

スタッフの方達は大変感じが良かったです!
ただ、自然が相手なので、天候に恵まれず期待通りの星空は見る事が出来ませんでした。
コレばっかりは仕方が無いことですよね⁉
スタッフの方が探してくださりヤシガニは見る事ができました。
プラネタリウムや動物園に行く訳ではないので過剰な期待は禁物です。
ただ天候に惠まれ運が好ければとっても素敵なツアーである事は間違いないです☺️
ツアースタッフの皆さん、本当にありがとうございました。

The staff were very nice, and it was great that they explained various things about the plants. However, it felt more like a stroll through a dark park rather than a jungle. I think it would have been better if there was a bit more of an adventurous feel. The staff found three small coconut crabs for us to see, which was nice. The stars were far from a full sky, just like the last time I visited, but I guess that's how it is. I was hoping to see the horned owl on the way back, but unfortunately, it wasn't there this time.

スタッフの方の感じはとても良く、植物のこととかいろいろ説明してくれて良かったです。でも、ジャングルというよりは暗い公園の散策といった感じかも。もう少し冒険感があった方が良いかと。スタッフの方々が見つけてきてくれたヤシガニは小さかったけど3匹見ることができました。星は以前来た時も今回も満天の星には程遠く、でも仕方ないのかな〜。帰りがけにこのはずくが見れるかもと期待しましたが、残念、今回はいませんでした。

Although the weather was bad and we couldn't see the starry sky, we were able to enjoy a detailed explanation of the town's layout and the genre tour. During the ride back in the shuttle, we received helpful information about recommended restaurants near the hotel, which was very useful.

天候が悪く星空は見えませんでしたが、その分石垣島の町の作りや、ジャンルツアーでゆっくり丁寧に説明をしていただけました。
帰りの送迎車の中でもホテル付近のオススメの飲食店の情報を教えて下さり、大変参考になりました。

The experience I participated in was attended only by adults, such as friends and couples, which made for a relaxed atmosphere. (It seems that the sessions with children are lively and fun with lots of discussions and questions.)

We were able to see the craters on the moon through binoculars, and the speaker was very interesting and easy to understand, making for an enjoyable time.

Since it was early spring, it was hot during the day but a bit cool at night, so I recommend bringing something to wear or a blanket to stay comfortable.

体験した回は、お友達と参加やご夫婦での参加など、大人の方のみだったので、ゆったりリラックスした回でした。
（子どもがいる回も話や質問が盛り上がって楽しそうですが）

双眼鏡で月のクレーターなども見れ、話される方はすごく面白くわかりやすかったので楽しいひとときでした。

春先だった為、日中は暑いですが夜は少し涼しいので羽織るものやブランケットなど持って参加するのがオススメです。

The tour guide left a very good impression. He spoke calmly and provided detailed explanations. He shared information that you wouldn't know just from reading the pamphlet, allowing us to enjoy Ishigaki Island from a different perspective.

Since they offer pick-up service, if you think, "I have some free time in the evening," I highly recommend signing up.

We started with stargazing. He took us to a hidden spot that wasn't mentioned in the brochure, where the stars are incredibly beautiful if the weather is clear. There are no lights around, so you can enjoy the view in peace. He also provided thorough explanations about the stars, which was very educational.

Next, we headed towards the coast. To keep us entertained in the car, he shared various interesting facts. He carefully explained each sight we passed, including pineapple farms, shisa statues, and owls. Unfortunately, we couldn't find any coconut crabs at the coast, but he told us about local traditional culture and the ecology and legends of the large trees growing along the shore. Since there were no explanatory boards at the site, I learned a lot of new things thanks to the guide, which was very fascinating.

ツアーのお兄さんがとっても好印象でした。落ち着いた話し方で、丁寧に解説をしてくれました。ただ刊行するだけでは知ることのできない事柄を教えてくれるので、また違った視点から石垣島を楽しむことができます。

送迎してくれるので、「夜時間があるな」と思ったらぜひ申込してみてはいかがでしょうか。

最初は星空観賞から始まりました。パンフレットでは星空がきれいとは載っていない穴場スポットに連れていってもらいました。晴れていればとっても星空がきれいに見えます。周囲にライトが一切ないので、静かに鑑賞できます。星に関する知識も丁寧に解説してくださり、勉強になりました。

次に海岸の方に向かいました。車の中でも私達お客さんが飽きないように、色んなことを教えてもらいました。道中で見られるパイナップル農園や、シーサー、フクロウなど1つ1つ丁寧に教えてくださいました。海岸では、残念ながらヤシガニを見つけることはできませんでしたが、地元の伝統文化や海岸沿いに生えている大きな木の生態や伝説を教えてくれました。その場に、解説する掲示板などがないため、ガイドさんを付けて初めて知ることばかりで、大変面白かったです。

I visited Miyako Island for the first time this time! In the midst of that, I thought it would be nice to take some photos for memories, so I joined this tour. The meeting place was also a spot where the stars were beautifully visible, making it the perfect location. We were able to take many photos from angles we wanted, and the shooting process was enjoyable. The data was sent to us right away, which was fantastic. This will be a lifelong memory!!! I would love to have photos taken from different angles when I visit Miyako Island again.

今回初めて宮古島にいきました！
そんな中、思い出に写真を撮ろうと思い今回このツアーに参加しました。待ち合わせ場所も非常に星が綺麗に見える場所でこれ以上ない場所でした。そして写真撮影も自分達が撮りたいアングルや写真を沢山撮って頂きました。そして楽しく撮影をすすめることができました。データもすぐに送って頂き最高でした。一生の思い出に残ります！！！
また宮古島に行ったら違うアングルで撮って頂きたいです

I participated at the request of my son, who loves animals. We had rented a car, but it was great that there was a hotel shuttle since it was nighttime. There were 19 participants that day, which was quite a large group, but the guide was skilled at storytelling, making it an enjoyable tour. We even got to see a coconut crab! It was a pity that we couldn't see the starry sky well due to the season, but instead, we enjoyed the night view. The recommendations for shops and the unique stories about the islands were also interesting.

生き物が大好きな息子の希望で参加しました。レンタカーを借りていましたが、夜なのでホテル送迎があって良かったです。この日は19人の参加で人数も多かったですが、ガイドさんのお話が上手で楽しいツアーになりました。
ヤシガニも見れました！時期的に星空はよく見えなかったのは残念でしたが、代わりに夜景が見れました。おすすめのお店や離島ならではのお話も面白かったです。

It's understandable that we couldn't see the wild creatures, but I was disappointed not to meet the coconut crab since I had high expectations. The guide's stories were interesting, but I wondered about the constant use of a chin mask in this day and age. Even though it was a stargazing experience, there was no explanation about the stars at all. Just saying, "That's Orion," isn't enough... I didn't come all the way to Ishigaki Island just to see Orion; I can see that from my home area too.

野生の生き物なので会えないこと仕方がないのですが期待していただけにヤシガニに会えず残念でした。
ガイドさんの話は面白かったのですが終始あごマスクなのはこのご時世いかがなものかと思います。星空鑑賞なのに星について全く説明なしです。「あれがオリオン座ですね」って・・・わざわざ石垣島まで来てオリオン座見たい訳じゃないんですが・・・自宅地域でも見れますから。

Although the weather was not favorable and we couldn't see the beautiful stars, we were able to see many creatures and plants that we don't usually encounter, such as coconut crabs, large bats, and owls. The staff who attended to us were very kind, and we enjoyed listening to various stories about Okinawa and Ishigaki Island, making the tour very enjoyable. They also recommended great restaurants, cafes, and souvenir shops. I think this tour is especially recommended for those visiting Ishigaki Island for the first time.

天気には恵まれず、きれいな星は見ることができませんでしたが、ヤシガニや大きなコウモリ、フクロウなど、普段見ることのできない生き物や植物をたくさん見ることができました。また、アテンドしてくださったスタッフの方も、とても親切な方で、沖縄や石垣島の様々なお話を聞くことができ、とても楽しくツアーに参加することができました。おすすめな飲食店やカフェ、お土産屋さんなども教えてくださります。石垣島に初めて来られる方には、特におすすめのツアーだと思います。

A friendly and young tour guide came to pick us up at the hotel in a van. Since it was warm tonight, we were excited to hear that there was a possibility of seeing many creatures as they would be active. However, we only encountered a hermit crab, and the cloudy sky prevented us from seeing the stars clearly. The tour guide was desperately searching for points of interest in the darkness. Still, we were able to see bats and an owl.

ホテルまでお迎えに軽装の添乗員さんがワゴン車で来てくれました。フレンドリーでお若い方でした。今夜は暖かいので生き物が活動するから沢山の生き物に会える可能性があります、との前置きでワクワクドキドキして出発しました。
が、ヤドカリにしか会えず、星空も曇りのせいでパッと綺麗には見ることができませんでした。
暗闇の中必死に生き物のポイントを探す添乗員さん。
それでもコウモリとフクロウは見ることができました。

The hotel picked us up on time, and we departed by bus. The tour guide was young and had a pleasant demeanor. Perhaps due to the cloudy weather, the starry sky wasn't very beautiful, and the guide was desperately searching for wildlife. We could only see a few hermit crabs and bats. We did spot one owl in a place with a beautiful night view. I think it would be better to focus solely on stargazing rather than trying to do both stargazing and a night safari, as it feels like neither is fully enjoyed.

ホテルに時間にお迎えに来てくださり、バスで出発しました。添乗員さんは若い方で感じはよかったです。
お天気が曇りだったせいか、星空もそれほど綺麗ではなく、生き物も添乗員さんが探すのに必死でした。
探してもほぼヤドカリとコウモリぐらいしか見ることできませんでした。
夜景の綺麗な場所でフクロウも1羽見れました。
星空とナイトサファリだとどちらも中途半端になるので、星空観察だけの方が良いと思います。

I participated because I wanted to see creatures typical of Okinawa. I was glad to see animals that can only be spotted on a night tour, like the giant golden bat and the Ryukyu scops owl! Seeing the hermit crabs with explanations about their names and their status as natural monuments made them look different. It was also fun to search for them myself with a flashlight in the pitch dark.

During the移動中, the tour guide spoke kindly and shared detailed information about Ishigaki Island and recommended delicious restaurants. If you join at the beginning of your trip, it might be a good idea to get new local information. I definitely plan to do that next time. The views of the sea and nature during the day were wonderful, but it was a deeply moving experience to see various creatures that continue to be active at night.

I also appreciated the hotel pick-up and drop-off service since it was a night tour.

沖縄らしい生き物が見たくて参加しました。
オオコウモリやリュウキュウコノハズクなど、夜のツアーでないと見られない生き物が見られて、参加して良かったです！ヤドカリも、名前の由来や天然記念物だという解説付きで見るとひと味違って見えました。真っ暗な中懐中電灯で照らしながら自分で探すのも楽しかったです。
移動中は優しい語り口のツアーガイドさんが石垣島について詳しく話してくれたり美味しいお店を教えてくれました。旅行の始めのタイミングで参加したら、現地の新しい情報も教えてもらえていいかもしれません。次回は是非そうしようと思います。昼間の海や自然の眺めも素晴らしかったですが、夜の間も活動し続ける生き物を色々見られて感慨深いひと時でした。
夜のツアーなのでホテルまで送迎があるのも有り難かったです。

I wanted to see the night view when I came to Ishigaki Island, so I participated in this tour that also includes a jungle night tour. I was grateful that they picked me up right in front of my hotel since I didn't have a rental car.

During the day, although there were some sunny moments, it was mostly cloudy, and I was worried. However, I was able to see a beautiful starry sky, which was moving. The jungle night tour didn't require too much walking; we each had a flashlight and walked around looking for coconut crabs. Unfortunately, we didn't find any this time...

Both the starry sky and the coconut crabs depend on the weather and luck, but I enjoyed the various explanations provided. I had a wonderful night. Thank you very much.

石垣島に来たら夜景を見たいと思っていたので、せっかくならとジャングルナイトツアーもついているこのツアーに参加させていただきました。
レンタカーしていなかったので、ホテルの前でお迎えに来ていただきありがたかったです。

日中は晴れ間はあるものの曇りで心配していましたが、無事綺麗な星空を見ることができ、感動しました。
ジャングルナイトツアーはそんなに歩き回ることなき、各自懐中電灯を持ってヤシガニなど探して歩き回る感じです。今回は見つからず残念、、、

星空もヤシガニも天候・運次第ですが、色々な解説をしていただき楽しかったです。楽しい夜を過ごせました。ありがとうございました。

On the day of participation, I made a reservation around 11:30 after arriving in Ishigaki. Despite the last-minute reservation, I received a message about the participation time within about 30 minutes, allowing for a smooth experience.

The weather was a bit dry that day, and there weren't many creatures around, but I was still able to see hermit crabs, large bats, and owls. The bats were very large and impressive.

After searching for wildlife, we also visited an observation deck that offered a panoramic view of Ishigaki town, where I learned about the town's history. The guide was very friendly and easy to talk to, and I was able to learn a lot from their extensive knowledge.

参加当日、石垣についてから、11:30頃予約しました。
急な予約にも関わらず、30分ほどで参加時間などの連絡をいただき、スムーズに参加することができました。
当日は少しカラッとした気候で生き物はあまり多くなかったですが、それでもヤドカリ、オオコウモリ、フクロウなどを見ることができました。コウモリはとても大きく、迫力がありました。
また、生物探しのあとは石垣の町が一望できる展望台にも行き、町のなりたちなどを教えてもらいました。
ガイドさんはとても気さくな方で、話もしやすく、とても豊富な知識でいろいろなことを知ることがでしました。

Due to the weather, I was told that we might not be able to see the stars, and I was wondering what would happen, but in the end, we were treated to an unexpectedly stunning starry sky! It was truly wonderful. The guide was very knowledgeable, and we had a great atmosphere for two hours! (If I could wish for anything, I would have loved to learn more about the constellations!)

During the night safari, the guide searched extensively for us, but unfortunately, the coconut crab didn't show itself today. However, we did get to meet some other rare insects instead. If there’s another opportunity, I would definitely love to join again!

天候の加減で星が見えないかもしれません。。と言われどうなるかなあと思っていましたが、結果的には、想像以上の満点の星空！
とっても素敵でした
ガイドさんもとても詳しくとてもいい雰囲気の2時間でした！（欲を言えば、もっと星座について教えてもらえると嬉しかったです！）
ナイトサファリは、ガイドさんも相当探していただきましたが肝心のヤシガニは今日は顔を出してくれずあえませんでしたが、代わりに他の珍しい虫さんに会えました。
また機会ありましたらぜひよろしくお願いいたします

The way to take photos is stylish and cute!!
I was able to take beautiful photos using props (^^)
The staff was very kind, which was great✳︎(^^)
I could see the Milky Way, and the stars were incredibly beautiful; I was moved!!
It was also really nice that they used a penlight to point out the stars!!
I was surprised because I had never seen so many stars before!!

My trip to Miyako Island became a wonderful memory✳︎
I definitely want to ask for this again when I come to Miyako Island!

写真の撮り方もおしゃれでかわいい！！
小物を使って映えな写真も撮れた(^^)
スタッフのお姉さんも親切ですごくよかったです✳︎(^^)
天の川も見れたし
星もすごい綺麗で感動しました！！
ペンライトで星を教えてくれるのもすごくよかったです！！
こんなにいっぱいの星を見ることなんてなかったのでびっくりしました！！

宮古島旅行、いい思い出になりました✳︎
また宮古島に来る時にはぜひお願いしたいです！
