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!

From all the guides at Iriomote Island ADVENTURE PiPi

Thank you for participating in the mangrove kayak tour. The Hija River felt special, almost like a private experience! With no rain and wonderful weather, I hope you felt rejuvenated both physically and mentally (#^^#). Please come back in a different season! You might see different scenery and wildlife than this time! We look forward to your next visit♪

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

I understand that you may have felt uneasy due to the rain and wind from the previous day, but I am truly glad that we were able to hold the tour successfully and that you enjoyed the sea of Miyako Island! As a guide, I am happy that we could choose a spot with minimal wave impact and support everyone in diving into the underwater world with confidence.

The dramatic encounter with the sea turtles, despite the situation where "it might be difficult," was truly a miraculous and moving moment! Your wonderful words about wanting to recommend us to others are a great encouragement to all of our staff.

Next time, let’s definitely go see the shining Miyako Blue under the sun together. We sincerely look forward to seeing you again!

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

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 for the wonderful nickname "Kenkensensei"!

That strong wind and cloudy sky on the day of the tour truly made it a "real adventure"! I was so pumped up by everyone’s positive attitude, enjoying the tough conditions and saying, "This actually feels like an adventure!"

During the jungle trekking, I was thrilled to see how interested everyone was in the unique plants and creatures that are specific to Iriomote Island. As a guide, it was a truly rewarding experience. Every time you look back at the photos of your brave selves in that deep green, I hope it brings back that excitement!

I'm glad you felt reassured about the ferry cancellations and bad weather. The nature of Iriomote Island can be harsh, but it also gives us unforgettable experiences like today!

Next time, let’s definitely aim for a calm, flat day to make a comeback! (laughs) I’ll prepare an even deeper "Kenkensensei class," and I look forward to seeing you all again in the jungle! ⭐

Thank you for joining the Ease Mangrove Kayak Tour. You did great despite the strong winds! Make sure to get a good massage (laughs). The combination with your daughter was perfectly in sync! Please check out the recommended shops as well. Next time, come back for a sunset kayak or SUP! I'll recommend some more shops for you. Please do take care of the mangroves! 😊

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

We are honored that you enjoyed the "special experiences" unique to Ishigaki Island, such as the Blue Cave and the night jungle! Your kind words about our guide's safety management are very encouraging.

I imagine your first canoe experience was a bit nerve-wracking, but hearing that you had "an incredible time" has put all of our guides at ease! We're so glad to hear it became a wonderful experience for you. I hope you were able to refresh yourself amidst the tranquil scenery of the mangroves.

When you come back to Ishigaki Island, please be sure to visit us again! We look forward to seeing you with the best smiles next time! ♩

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!

From all of us at Iriomote Island ADVENTURE PiPi

Thank you very much for participating in the tour!

I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed your first canoe experience! The vast scenery of the Urauchi River and the sensation of passing through the mangrove tunnel is something you won't forget once you've experienced it.

I completely understand your comment about feeling like you were in a Studio Ghibli film! The moss-covered roots and the sounds of creatures echoing in the silence truly make you feel like you've stepped into a mystical animated world. Please take a look back at the photos we took and immerse yourself in that atmosphere again!

We were also really happy that you were blessed with perfect weather on the day, allowing you to fully appreciate the potential of Iriomote Island. Depending on the season and time of day, a different expression of the "Ghibli world" unfolds, so please come back to refresh and enjoy it again!

All of us at the staff are sincerely looking forward to the day we can paddle together again!

From the Iriomote Island ADVENTURE PiPi guides.

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

We are all very happy that you enjoyed the canoe experience even in the light rain! It brings us great joy that you were able to deeply appreciate the importance of protecting mangroves and nature through our discussions.

It was a wonderful time sharing our thoughts about nature. We hope you will come back to enjoy the rich nature of Ishigaki Island again! We look forward to providing you with another amazing experience next time! ♩

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!

From all of us at Iriomote Island ADVENTURE PiPi

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 so much for joining the tour!

This is Macchan, your guide! It was unfortunate that we had to cancel the snorkeling, but I’m really glad you enjoyed canoeing and Yubu Island to the fullest despite the strong winds, which could be considered a winter initiation of Iriomote Island!

The canoe route definitely ignites the adventurous spirit of wanting to go "deeper into the jungle!" We choose the safest best route based on the wind and tide conditions of the day, but let’s definitely plan a comeback on a calmer day! I’ll take you to an even narrower and more exciting "secret route!"

I’m also glad to hear you enjoyed your time at Yubu Island! When you’re relaxing while eating that gelato, it feels like island time is fast-forwarding, doesn’t it? (laughs)

I’m happy you liked the lunch of "squid ink yakisoba" and "fried rice" too!

Please come back to Iriomote Island to recharge your energy. Next time, let’s also plan a snorkeling comeback at Barasu Island! I’m looking forward to the day we can meet again!

Iriomote Island ADVENTURE PiPi, Macchan

Thank you for participating in the mangrove kayak tour with Ease. The calm kayaking experience in the pleasant sunshine is perfect for refreshing yourself. There are many plants and creatures in the Hija River that you don't usually see, making it a tour enjoyable for everyone from small children to adults. Please come back and visit us again the next time you come to Okinawa!

Thank you very much for participating in the tour!

I sincerely apologize for the disappointment caused by the cancellation of the tour to Barasu Island the day before. Despite that, we are truly relieved to hear that you were able to "enjoy" the alternative tour.

I'm glad we could smoothly guide you on the water buffalo cart at Yubu Island. Taking a leisurely walk around the island is indeed a refreshing experience unique to Iriomote Island. The story of everyone gathering at the lunch spot is truly a classic "island moment" (laughs).

I'm also delighted to hear that you enjoyed the afternoon canoeing! As you mentioned, we chose a gentle route that even beginners can enjoy, but there are actually many challenging hidden routes on Iriomote Island that would surprise even the most adventurous. We hope you'll come back for even more adventures next time!

I'm happy to hear that you liked the photos! Please take a look back at them and immerse yourself in those wonderful memories.

Next time, let's aim for a comeback to the miraculous Barasu Island! We look forward to the day we can meet again in the crystal-clear sea!

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 for participating in the tour with Ishigaki Island ADVENTURE PiPi!

We are very happy that you enjoyed the activities! Although there was a change in the points on the day of the tour, we are truly glad that you got to experience the coral reefs and vibrant small fish that Ishigaki Island is proud of. We also had a great time discussing the Irabucha! Please make sure to enjoy the local flavors at the shops we recommended!

We look forward to the day we can guide you to even more beautiful seas in a different season! ♩

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!

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

We are very happy that you were able to fully enjoy the mangroves of the Miyara River! Even in January, you were comfortable wearing wet boots. Your youthful and powerful paddling, which belied your ages, energized us! Please come back to Ishigaki Island to be healed by nature again.

The staff is sincerely looking forward to the day we can meet you all again! ♩

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!

We are truly delighted that you chose Iriomote Island for your important trip at the beginning of 2026!

We wanted to ensure that you could participate in a way that felt satisfactory, as this is such a valuable trip for you. Hearing you say, "I'm glad I reached out," has brought relief to all of our staff.
