All Reviews for Okinawa Stargazing

I had a great time! The guide, Shoutarou, was kind and wonderful to the children! Thank you very much. I would like to use this service again.

とても楽しかったです！
ガイドのお兄さん(しょうたろうさん)が、子供にも優しくて素敵でした！
ありがとうございました
また利用したいです。

I was worried about the weather being unstable on the reservation date, but they contacted me and changed it to the next day, allowing me to see everything beautifully on the best day. It was just like the image I had seen in photos, and it felt like a planetarium; I was really moved. I'm so glad I did it!

Additionally, after the experience, they introduced me to many recommended shops in Miyako Island, and their service was excellent!

予約日が天気が安定しておらず心配していたら連絡くださり、翌日に変更してベストな日に綺麗な見ることができた。写真で見てたイメージのまんまを現地で見れてプラネタリウムみたいでとっても感動でした。やって本当によかったです！
また、体験後に宮古島のおすすめのお店などもたくさん紹介してくださり対応がよかったです！

I was able to see the Milky Way with my own eyes, and it was truly moving. Although the weather was a bit concerning, they patiently waited until the clouds cleared and taught us about the stars. The atmosphere was very friendly and pleasant throughout the entire experience!

肉眼で天の川を見ることができ、感動しました。
雲行きが少し不安でしたが、雲無くなるまで待機させて頂けたり、星について教えていただけたり、非常にフレンドリーで終始和やかな雰囲気で撮影頂けました！

I heard that it would be a moon photo since it was close to a full moon, which was fine, but I really wanted to see the stars. Fortunately, the weather was great, and the stars were incredibly beautiful. I could even see the Milky Way with the naked eye. When I mentioned that I wanted something dreamy and couldn't decide on a pose, they took some very enchanting photos for me. They were really nice and also recommended great places to eat! Thanks to this tour, I was very satisfied from the first day of my solo trip! I would love to do it again. Highly recommended!

満月に近かったため月フォトになるって聞いてて、それはそれでよかったけどやっぱり星がいいなぁって思っていたら天気に恵まれてすごく綺麗な星でした。肉眼でも天の川が見れました。私がポーズを決めかねて幻想的なのがいいってアバウトに行ったらとても幻想的な写真を撮ってくれました。すごくいい方でおすすめの食事の場所も教えてくれました！1人旅の初日からこのツアーのおかげですごく満足できました！またお願いしたいです。おすすめです！

The starry sky was beautiful, and I was able to see various creatures and had a great time. However, when taking photos at the end, it would be helpful to instruct the people behind to turn off or lower their lights, as the backlighting made it difficult to capture decent images. Additionally, while there are multiple photos of families with children, there is only one photo of adults participating alone, which is concerning. Also, most of the photos are blurry, and some are out of focus, making them not suitable for sharing with others. I hope you consider whether these photos are appropriate for reminiscing about the memories.

星空も綺麗で、様々な生き物を見ることができ、楽しく過ごすことができました。ただ、最後に写真を撮る時に後ろの人にライトを消すか下げるかの指示を出さないと、逆光でまともに映りません。また、ご家族でお子さんと一緒に参加してる方の写真は複数あるのに大人だけで参加してる人の写真は最後の1枚だけなのが気になります。あと基本ぶれてます。ピントが合ってないものもあり、とても人に渡すための写真とは思えません。思い出を振り返るための写真がこれでいいのか考えていただきたいものです。

The jungle night tour is more of a jungle than I imagined. They provided us with boots, but I think it's better to participate in long pants. When I joined, I encountered a coconut crab! I also found insects I had never seen before, and it was a lot of fun searching for creatures in the jungle and on the beach with a flashlight. Additionally, the night sky from the beach was amazing. I was able to see the Summer Triangle and the Milky Way.

ジャングルナイトツアーは想像よりジャングルです。長靴を貸していただけましたが、長ズボンでの参加がいいかと思います。
わたしが参加した時はヤシガニに出会えました！
その他にも、初めて見る昆虫なども見つけられ、ジャングルや砂浜を懐中電灯を照らしながら生き物を探すのはとても楽しかったです。
また、星空も砂浜からの夜空最高でした。夏の大三角形と、天の川をみることができました。

I signed up for the tour to see coconut crabs and other subtropical creatures, but I was captivated by the unbelievably beautiful starry sky and the Milky Way on the beach. The guide was also very kind, and I wasn't scared at all in the night jungle.

ヤシガニやその他亜熱帯の生き物目当てで申し込んだツアーですが、浜辺での信じられないような美しい星空と天の川に心奪われてしまいました。ガイドさんも大変親切で夜のジャングルも全く怖くなかったです。

Chitose, our guide, cheerfully explained the ecology of Miyako Island, and I thought it was fine even if we couldn't see the coconut crab! However, we were able to find the coconut crab, and we also got to see a beautiful starry sky, so I was very satisfied!

ガイドのチトセさんは元気に明るく宮古島の生態を説明してくれて、ヤシガニが見られなくても楽しいからいいや！と思っていたけど…ヤシガニも見つけることができ、綺麗な星空も見れて大満足です！

The guide was kind and shared many enjoyable stories during our travels. Despite the bad weather, we were able to encounter the coconut crab we were aiming for, creating the best memories. Next time, I’ll come back to aim for the starry sky!

ガイドが親切で移動中も楽しいお話をいっぱいしてくれました。
悪天候でしたが、狙いのヤシガニにも出会えて最高の思い出ができました。
次は星空狙いで、リピートします！

I participated with my 6-year-old child! The tour guide was lively and explained everything clearly, which was great. My child was also satisfied to see the coconut crab! I definitely want to use this service again when we come back to Miyako Island.

6歳の子どもと参加しました！
ツアーガイドのお兄さんもノリが良く説明も分かりやすく良かったです(^^)
子どももヤシガニが見れて満足そうです！
また宮古島に来た際には、ぜひ利用したいと思います。

I rarely have the opportunity to see nocturnal creatures, so I was satisfied to see a coconut crab for the first time. I was also grateful to the guide for searching for and explaining the coconut crab and other creatures!

なかなか夜の生き物に生き物を見る機会もなく、ヤシガニは初めて見ることができ満足でした。
ガイドの方も、ヤシガニや他の生き物を探して説明してくださりありがたかったです！

They were very considerate, and I was able to enjoy an adventure even in the rain. I found a coconut crab! It seems perfect for a break during the trip.

色々気を使ってくれ雨天でも楽しく冒険できました。ヤシガニ見つかりました！
旅行中休みにちょうど良さそうです。

At the meeting point, the staff explained that they couldn't predict the cloud conditions ahead, so if we were anxious, we could cancel, and I agreed to participate. From the middle of the event, clouds started to appear, and visibility was almost nonexistent, but I had accepted this, so I have no complaints. However, they used a laser pointer for explanations, but their voice was too soft to hear. Even though I was in the third row from the front, I couldn't hear, so those behind us probably heard even less.

集合場所でスタッフから雲の状況がこの先わからないので、不安ならキャンセルしてくださいと説明があり納得して参加しました。途中からは雲が出てきてほとんど見えませんでしたが、承知の上なので不満はありません。
ただ、レーザーポインターで説明をしてくれるのですか、声が小さくてほとんど聞こえません。前から３列目で聞いてたのに聞こえなかったので、私達の後ろの方はもっと聞こえなかったの思われます。

I had made a reservation in June, but due to bad weather, I received a notice that it was canceled on the day of the event. I thought I would make another reservation the next time I came. This time, the weather was clear, and the stargazing began under a dark sky. There were some clouds that made it a bit difficult to see at times, but I was satisfied. I have participated in several other stargazing tours, but this one was among the top five. The destination, Ishigaki Island Stargazing Farm, was hard to find at night, and I relied on Google Maps to get there. When I arrived, there was nothing in sight, which made me anxious, but a staff member approached me and guided me to the parking lot, which put me at ease.

６月にも予約していましたが、６月は天候が悪く、当日中止との連絡を受け、次回来た時にまた予約しようと思っていました。
今回、当日は晴れており真っ暗な空の中、星空観賞がスタートしました。
途中、雲が出てきて、少し見づらい部分もありましたが、満足できました。
今まで他の星空ツアーに数回参加していますが、今回は５本の指に入るぐらいの星空でした。
目的地の石垣島星空ファームは夜だとわかりづらく、グーグルマップを頼りに行きましたが、目的地についても何もなかったので、不安でしたが、道端に係の人が近づいてきて駐車場を案内してくれたので、安心しました。

The starry sky was beautiful, but I was scared to drive for 30 minutes on the completely dark road to get there. After gathering at the location, I was also anxious about walking on the dark, uneven path, worried about stepping on snakes. Considering the travel time, safety, and convenience, I thought a hotel tour would be sufficient.

星空はきれいでしたが、現地まで真っ暗な道を30分運転するのが怖かった。また現地集合のあと、足元の悪い真っ暗な道を徒歩移動するのも、ヘビとか踏まないか不安だった。
移動時間や安全性、手軽さを考慮すると、ホテルのツアーで充分かなと思いました。

I was able to see a shooting star that I will probably never see again in my lifetime. The explanation about the stars was easy to understand, and it became a very good memory.

恐らく一生見ることができない流れ星がみれました。
星の説明もわかりやすく、とても良い思い出になりました。

I was able to find out the best time to see the first star clearly and capture a perfect photo of the Milky Way! ✩.*˚
The meeting place was a bit uncertain, making me wonder, "Is this really the right spot?" but it's fine to trust Google Maps and go! Haha
I'm really glad I could create wonderful memories in Miyako Island!

1番星が綺麗に見える時間を調べてくださり、天の川までバッチリ写真におさめることができました✩.*˚
集合場所は、え？ここであってる？と不安になるような場所でしたが、Googleマップを信じて行って大丈夫です！笑
宮古島の素敵な思い出を作ることができて本当に良かったです！

The guide's explanations were easy to understand and enjoyable! I was able to see the long-awaited freshwater crab, took photos together, and saw a sky full of stars. I am extremely satisfied! It was so much fun! Thank you very much!

ガイドさんの説明がわかりやすく楽しかった！念願のサワガニを見られ、写真も一緒に撮らしてもらい、満点の星空が見れ、大満足です！めっちゃ楽しかったです！ありがとうございました！

I saw such a beautiful starry sky for the first time in my life! The photographer was kind, and we took pictures in a great atmosphere while listening to music. The photos they took were incredibly moving! I want to go take pictures again!

人生で初めてこんな綺麗な星空を見た！カメラマンさん優しくて、音楽を聴きながらいい雰囲気で撮影しました。撮って下さった写真すごく感動！また写真撮りに行きたい！

It started off a bit nervously, with the number of old buses and lights being slightly insufficient. However, once we got going, the guides' love for nature really lifted the participants' spirits, and we ended up very satisfied. They found a small scorpion just a few centimeters in a crack in the rocks and showed it to the kids, creating an atmosphere that kept the little ones excited until the very end, wondering if they would find something else. It was fantastic.

When animals and insects appeared illuminated by the lights in the dark, it really boosted our excitement. The guides had a wealth of knowledge about constellations, entertaining not just the children but the adults as well. Perhaps the greatest charm lies in the guides' knowledge and character rather than nature itself! Thank you very much!

年季が入ったバスやライトの数がわずかに足りないとか、少々不安に感じるスタートではありました。
ですが、始まってみるとガイドさん達の自然大好きオーラが参加者の気分を大いに盛り上げてくれて大満足で終えられました。
岩の隙間の数センチの小さなサソリを見つけて子供に見せてくれたり、小さな子供達を最後の最後まで、何かまた見つけられるのではないかとラワクワクさせてくれる雰囲気作りは素晴らしかったです。
暗がりをライトで照らした先に動物や昆虫がいるとめちゃくちゃテンションが上がります。

星座も知識が豊富で子供のみならず大人も楽しませてもらえます。
自然よりも、ガイドさんの知識とキャラクターが1番の魅力かもですね！
ありがとうござました！

One of my memories from Miyako Island is participating in a night photo tour. I was moved by the starry sky that can only be seen in Miyako Island. With that beautiful starry sky as a backdrop, I was able to take wonderful photos and enjoy a romantic time. The background music and the sound of the waves were also fantastic! The shooting time flew by because it was so much fun, and thanks to the warm encouragement from the staff, I felt at ease during the shoot. This year, I was able to create another summer memory in Okinawa. Thank you very much!

宮古島での思い出の一つとして、ナイトフォトツアーに参加させていただきました。
まず宮古島でしかみれない星空に感動しました。
その星空をバックに素敵な写真を撮っていただいて、ロマンチックな時間を味わうことができました。
BGMと波音も最高でした！
撮影時間は、楽しくてあっという間でしたが、スタッフの方の温かい声かけもあり、安心して撮影することができました。
今年も沖縄での夏の思い出を一つ増やすことができました。ありがとうございました！

I participated as a memory for my honeymoon. I was able to see the most beautiful starry sky I've ever seen in my life, and the photos turned out really beautifully, so I am very satisfied. It became a very memorable time, perfect for the last day of our honeymoon! The photographer was also very kind and even taught us about recommended spots in Miyako Island, which was very thoughtful! I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

新婚旅行での記念に参加させていただきました。
今まで生きてきた中で1番綺麗な星空がみれて、写真もすごく綺麗に撮ってくださり満足です。
新婚旅行の最終日にふさわしい、とても思い出に残る時間となりました！！
カメラマンさんもすごく優しく、宮古島のオススメの場所まで教えて下さりとても親切でした！
また機会があれば参加したいです。

We were blessed with great weather and were able to see the most beautiful starry sky we've ever experienced. The tour guide who took our photos was friendly, very funny, and made it a lot of fun! Although we weren't used to having our pictures taken, he helped us by suggesting poses, so we were able to get some really amazing photos. We are truly very satisfied!! We definitely want to use this service again when our family grows!

天気にも恵まれて今まででダントツ1番に綺麗な星空をみることができました。
撮影して頂くツアーのお兄さんも気さくで、
すごく面白くて楽しかったです！
写真を撮られ慣れてない私たちですが、
困っていたらポーズの指定もしてくれるので
すごくすごくいい写真を取ることができました。
本当に大満足です！！
また家族が増えた時に絶対に利用したいです！！

I was moved to see a large coconut crab. Walking through the pitch-black nature was a very rare experience that was thrilling and exciting. Chitose, our guide, explained everything clearly and thoroughly, making it a fun tour! I want to participate again.

大きなヤシガニが見れて感動しました。真っ暗な自然の中を歩くなんてとても貴重な体験でドキドキわくわくでした。ガイドしたくださったちとせさんが丁寧にわかりやすく説明してくださり楽しいツアーになりました！また参加したいです。

I was able to see a night sky like I've never seen before with my own eyes! The photos taken were even better! The Milky Way was beautifully captured. They quickly accommodated each of my children's requests to take photos, and it was a wonderful shooting time accompanied by lovely music. I was also happy to receive a list of recommended shops afterward.

今までに見た事ない星空を肉眼でも見れました！
撮っていただいた写真はそれ以上！！
天の川も綺麗に映ってました。
子供達が1人づつ撮りたいという要望にもすぐに対応してくれて、素敵な音楽と共に素敵な撮影時間でした。
終わった後におすすめのお店リストをもらえたのも嬉しかったです。

My 7-year-old daughter couldn't contain her excitement.
Walking around at night, she saw so many creatures and beautiful natural landscapes.
Each was a first-time experience for her.

I think the word "amazing" has been used many times, but this time, it was at the highest level.
While walking, the explanations about the creatures, the rocks, and the starry sky were incredibly interesting!
It also connected to learning.

The thrill and excitement of discovery!
I believe we wouldn't have experienced this without this opportunity.

I am grateful for the wonderful experience we had.
Thank you! (^ ^)

7歳の娘は、ワクワクが止まりません。
夜中に出歩き、見た生き物の数々。
自然の風景。
どれも初めての体験でした。

「すご〜い」という言葉は何度も使ったことがある言葉かと思いますが、今回の「すご〜い」は最上級ランクです。
歩きながら、生き物の説明、岩の説明、星空の説明など、すごく面白い！
学びにも繋がります。

発見したときのドキドキとワクワク感！
この体験をしなければ味わえなかったと思います。

素晴らしい体験が出来たことに感謝します。
ありがとうございました(^ ^)

I was able to see a coconut crab!
I also got to witness a battle between the coconut crabs with the guide!
This time, the coconut crab won!
The strength of the coconut crab's pincers is impressive!
In addition to the coconut crab, I saw other creatures that are usually not visible!
It depends on luck, but I was lucky to see the coconut crab!
The stars were beautiful too!
I highly recommend this for those who want to make the most of their evening!

ヤシガニ見れました!
ガイドさんとヤシガニのバトルも見れました!
今回はヤシガニが勝ちました!
ヤシガニの挟む力つよし！
ヤシガニの他にも普段見れない生物も見れました!
ヤシガニは運にもよりますが見れたのでラッキー！
星もキレイでした！
夜の時間を充実させたい方にはオススメです！

I participated in the night tour.
I had a great time seeing lots of coconut crabs!
The guides were entertaining and made the experience enjoyable.
I highly recommend it!

ナイトツアーに参加しました^ ^
ヤシガニがたっくさん見れて楽しかったです！
ツアー担当の方々のトークも面白く、盛り上げてくださり楽しい体験でした^ ^
とってもおすすめです！

Since I didn't have any plans after the evening, I was looking for something to do and found this place that allows same-day reservations.

The kids and parents were all thrilled to see the coconut crabs for the first time! Even the creatures we had seen before were all large, making it a rare experience that you can only have in Miyako Island.

It seemed that there were many participants this time, so we formed one group with three families, but thanks to the guide's detailed knowledge, we spent an hour without getting bored. I also appreciated the guide's consideration in changing the leading family throughout the tour.

Personally, I was worried about whether sandals would be okay, but since we walked on paved paths, it wasn't a problem at all.

夕方以降の予定がなかったので何かないか探していたところ、当日予約可能なこちらを見つけました
初めて見るヤシガニに子ども達も親も大興奮！見たことある生き物も1匹1匹が大きくて宮古島でないと経験できない貴重な体験でした。

今回、参加人数が多かったようで、3家族で1つのグループとして回りましたが、ガイドさんの詳しい知識のおかげで飽きることなく1時間過ごせましたし、途中途中で先頭家族を変えてくださるガイドさんの配慮も有り難かったです。

個人的にサンダルで大丈夫か不安でしたが、舗装された道を歩くので問題なかったです。

I participated on the night of the new moon on August 4, 2024. Guides Rin and Sho provided explanations about the flora and fauna at a special spot in Iriomote, and we were able to find two coconut crabs! The starry sky we saw on the beach was breathtaking and became an unforgettable memory. This is a tour that you should definitely join when you visit Iriomote Island!

2024年8月4日新月の夜に参加させて頂きました。
ガイドのりんちゃん&しょうちゃんが西表のとっておきのスポットで動植物の解説をしてくださり、無事ヤシガニも2匹見つけることができました！
浜辺で見た星空は圧巻で忘れることのできない思い出となりました。
西表島に行くときは必ず参加するべきツアーです！
