All Reviews for Okinawa Stargazing

The location was great, and they captured the breathtaking moment of the moon and stars as the moon set! The staff was friendly and gave us tips on poses and photography, making the shoot enjoyable! A shooting star was also captured, making it the best memory of the trip! ♪

ロケーションもよくて、月が沈む瞬間の月と星の絶景の瞬間を写真に納めてくれました！
お兄さんも気さくで、ポーズや写真のアドバイスもしてくれ楽しく撮影してくれました！
流れ星も写っていて、旅行で一番の思い出です♪

You can't see that many stars from the hotel. It might be a bit late, but I think it's worth going. With your brother's dynamic explanations, I was completely captivated by the starry sky of Ishigaki Island!

ホテルからではあれだけの星は見られません。
少し遅い時間になってしまいますが、行く価値ありだと思います。
お兄さんのダイナミックな解説が加わり、石垣島の星空にすっかり魅了されてしまいました！

I am very satisfied with how beautifully it was done. It was so good that I would like to use it again when I go back. Thank you very much.

とても綺麗にとっていただき大満足です。また行った時には利用したいと思える程良かったです。ありがとございました。

I participated on the day I arrived at Ishigaki Island Airport at 6 PM. I wanted to enjoy activities even with an evening arrival, and the meeting time was set for 7:30 PM, which was a bit late, so that was my motivation to join. In the end, it was definitely the right decision to participate!!

Here are some specific details:

- You can borrow rubber boots (you can go without socks if you don't mind).
- It was late September, but I didn't get too sweaty. My clothes didn't get very dirty as long as I didn't fall.
- I think long sleeves and long pants are better, but I didn't get bitten by bugs thanks to the insect spray provided.
- The guide explained various creatures and terrains, which was very enjoyable!
- The chance of encountering a coconut crab was said to be 50%, and I was able to see one towards the end!
- It was a crescent moon night with few clouds, so I could see many stars and the Milky Way, which was beautiful.
- On the way back, we arrived at the remote island terminal around 10 PM, and it was also possible to have dinner at an izakaya in town afterward.

The staff were very pleasant as well! I plan to participate in other activities too!

18時石垣島空港着の日に参加しました。
夕方着でもアクティビティを楽しみたく、集合時間が19時半と遅めだったのが参加したきっかけです。
結果、参加して大正解でした！！

以下、具体的な情報です。

・長靴は貸していただけます（靴下は気にならなければなしでOK）
・9月下旬でしたが、汗だくにまではならなかったです。服装も転ばなければすごく汚れはしませんでした
・長袖長ズボンの方が良いとは思いますが、貸し出しの虫スプレーをすれば虫には刺されませんでした
・ガイドさんが色々な生物や地形の解説をしてくれ、とても楽しいです！
・ヤシガニは遭遇率50%とのことでしたが、最後の方に見れました！
・三日月で雲の少ない日だったので、たくさんの星や天の川が見え、綺麗でした
・帰りは離島ターミナルに22時くらいに到着し、その後街の居酒屋で夕飯を食べることも可能です

スタッフさんも感じが良い方でした♪
他のアクティビティも参加しようと思います！

I had a great experience taking photos with my boyfriend against the starry sky. The stars turned out beautifully in the pictures! The person who took the photos was also knowledgeable about delicious restaurants and tourist spots in Miyako Island, and I was happy to learn a lot from them. The recommended izakaya was very tasty! Thank you for the wonderful memories!!!

星空を背景に彼氏との写真を撮っていただきました。星空がすごく綺麗に撮れていて良い体験でした！！また撮影してくれた方は、宮古島の美味しいお店や観光スポットに詳しく、色々と教えてくれたのも嬉しかったです。おすすめの居酒屋とても美味しかったです！！良い想い出を、ありがとうございました！！！

We participated as a group of four, with our two sons aged 4 and 6, along with two parents. We took a microbus from the meeting point along a mountain road. During the ride, our guide shared information about Ishigaki Island.

Once we were in the mountains, it was pitch dark when we turned off the lights! It felt a bit scary, but it was a great adventure. We were soaked in sweat. The mountain path was steep, but our 4-year-old son was able to manage it without any issues as long as we held his hand.

It seemed like the weather was perfect on the day we participated, and we could see an incredible number of stars. It was truly moving. However, the time we had to gaze at the stars was a bit short, and I wished we could have spent more time looking at them.

This is a place you definitely can't visit without joining a tour, so I'm glad we participated. I also had a fun conversation with a young man who was on the same tour. Thank you very much!

4才、６才の息子と親２人の計４人で参加しました。
集合場所からマイクロバスで山道を進みます。その間もガイドのお姉さんが石垣島のこと等を教えてくれます。
山の中は、ライトを消すと真っ暗！少し怖いくらい冒険感があり良かったです。汗びっしょりになりました。険しい山道ですが４才の息子も、親が手を繋いであげれば問題なく進めました。
私たちが参加した日は、とても天気が良かったようで、めちゃくちゃ星が見えました。感動しました。星を眺める時間が少し短かったので、もう少し見たかったです。
ツアーでなければ絶対に行けない場所なので、参加して良かったです。
同じツアーに参加していたお兄さんとも楽しく会話できました。
ありがとうございました。

Great tour. I was finally able to see coconut crabs for the first time, which I had longed for. Thank you so much.

great tour.
I was finally able to see coconut crabs for the first time, which I had longed for. Thank you so much.

The guide was very friendly and easy to talk to. Even during the drive to the location, they shared interesting facts about Ishigaki Island, tourist spots, and delicious places to eat, making the round trip enjoyable without any dull moments. The area was a jungle beyond my imagination, so dark that it was difficult to move without a light, but as we made our way through the jungle together, we learned about animals, insects, and plants that can only be seen there. In the end, we were greeted by a stunning starry sky, which was truly moving. It was a wonderful experience and became a fantastic travel memory.

ガイドの方がすごく気さくな方で話しやすく
現地に移動中の車中でも石垣島の豆知識や観光地、美味しい食事処等を教えてくれて往復の車中は暇を持て余すことなく楽しい移動でした。
現地は想像以上のジャングルでライトがないと進むことも難しいくらい真っ暗ですが、みんなでジャングルを進み現地でしか見ることのできない動物、虫、植物を教えてもらいながら進んで最後にはすごく綺麗な星空が広がっていて感動しました。とてもいい体験が出来て最高な旅の思い出になりました。

I was able to see various creatures: frogs, centipedes, owls, bats, coconut crabs, hiding rock crabs, adult fireflies, hermit crabs, and about three types of crabs.

At first, I was asked which creatures I wanted to see, and I was able to see all the ones I hoped for! The coconut crab, which is a national treasure and an endangered species, was a juvenile, but it was adorable with its bubbles! We passed through a jungle without lights, which felt inaccessible for amateurs. I've been to Ishigaki Island many times, but I couldn't go there on my own, so it was great to join the tour and hear the excitement of my two boys.

Finally, under the starry sky, I saw adult fireflies that looked like shooting stars; they were more vibrant and lively than the fireflies I've seen before. Also, the owl on Owl Street was cute as it left after pooping!

The guide was very kind as well! Thank you very much!

見れた生物、カエル、ゲジゲジ、フクロウ、コウモリ、ヤシガニ、隠れ岩カニ、ホタルの成虫、ヤドカリ、カニ（3種類くらい）

最初に観たい生物の希望を聞かれたのですが、期待した生物を全部見れました！天記念物で絶滅危惧種のヤシガニは子供でしたが、泡をはいていて可愛かったです！途中、灯りのないジャングルを通ってくので、素人にはいけない感じ。石垣島は何度も来たのですが、あそこは自分では行けないので、ツアーに参加して子供（男の子2人）の歓声が聞けて良かったです。

最後に見た、満天の星空の下、流れ星のような蛍の成虫、、見たことある蛍より元気で明るかったです。
あとはフクロウ通りのフクロウ、、うんちをして去っていって可愛かった！

ガイドさんもとても親切でした！
ありがとうございました！

I applied to capture memorable photos on my anniversary with my partner. The service satisfaction is at its maximum! The stars were truly beautiful, and it was the best night sky of my life.

The shooting spot is very close to the parking lot; it's dark, but they illuminate the area, allowing for safe movement. Once you arrive at the shooting spot, you receive an explanation of the precautions for the shoot, and it starts right away. The person in charge was easy to talk to and left a very good impression.

The shooting conditions can be affected by the weather and other environmental factors, but they inform you about such situations in advance via email, which is reassuring. I highly recommend giving it a try!

恋人との記念日に思い出の写真を残そうと考え応募しました。サービス満足度はマックスです！
星が本当に綺麗で、人生で一番の夜空でした。
撮影スポットは駐車場からすぐそばのところで、暗いですがライトで照らしていただき安全に移動できます。撮影スポットに到着したら撮影時の注意点の説明を受け、すぐに開始します。担当していただいた方は話しやすい人で印象がとても良かったです。
天候などの環境に撮影状況は左右されますが、そんなときの対応も事前にメールで知らされているので、安心です。ぜひ一度応募してみてください！！

The sky was filled with stars as if it were a planetarium, and the weather was so nice that we could even see the Milky Way. The photographer was kind and played music while shooting, which made it a lot of fun!

一面がプラネタリウムかのように星が見え天気もよかったので天の川まで見えました。カメラマンさんも優しく音楽をかけながらの撮影でとても楽しかったです！

It was a cloudy day, but by reading the flow of the clouds, I was able to capture some very beautiful photos.

It became a great memory. Thank you very much.

雲の多い日でしたが、雲の流れを読み
とても綺麗な写真が出来上がりました。

いい思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました。

We gathered on-site and took several photos in recommended poses and our favorite poses. The staff's hospitality and the atmosphere they created were also great.

現地に集合しておすすめのポーズ、好きなポーズで数枚写真撮影しました。
スタッフの方の接遇や雰囲気づくりも良かったです。

Going into the jungle with just a flashlight was incredibly thrilling, and the kids were really excited. We were able to see coconut crabs and various other creatures, and each one was explained clearly, which made it easy to understand. I was very moved to see stars that you can't see in the city.

ジャングルの中に懐中電灯一つで行くのはすごくスリルがあって子供らがすごくよろくんでいました。
ヤシガニも見れていろんな生き物がいてその一つ一つ説明してくれて分かりやすかったです。
都会では見れない星が見れてとても感動しました。

The incredible starry sky and the related study of stars were very informative, revealing many things I had never known before. An hour spent under the stars flew by, making it a truly memorable tour. The sheer number of stars that you can't experience in the city was truly breathtaking.

The weather was good, and I think the timing was perfect. The environment where you can see stars differently every day is wonderful; I believe Ishigaki Island is the best place for this. I feel it could even be called the Hawaii of Japan. It was an hour that made me want to visit Ishigaki Island again.

最高の星空とそれにまつわる星の勉強がとても参考になり、今まで知らなかっ事が多い事…本当に星空で１時間があっという間に過ぎて本当に思い出になるツアーでした。都会では味わえない星の多さ本当に感動しかない表現です。
お天気も良く、タイミングも良かったと思います。毎日違う感じで星が見られる環境は素晴らしい石垣島最高の場所と思います。日本のハワイと言っても良いと感じます。また石垣島訪れたいと感じられた１時間でした。

I saw photos from a friend's trip to Okinawa and thought they were amazing. This time, I traveled to Miyako Island, and despite making a same-day reservation, I was grateful for the courteous service I received. I was able to create wonderful, memorable photos, and I am very satisfied!

沖縄旅行に行った友人にフォトを見せてもらい、凄くいいなと思い、今回、宮古島旅行で、当日予約にもかかわらず、丁寧にご対応いただきありがとうございました。素晴らしい想い出に残るフォトができ、大変満足です！

The tour guide's stories were really great! We were able to see more than five coconut crabs, including baby coconut crabs! The starry sky was beautiful, with the Milky Way and the stars of Orihime and Hikoboshi visible. We also saw many other creatures, so I was very satisfied! They take you to spots that are not easy to reach. However, the tour itself takes about three hours, so I recommend it for those who have the time. It mentions wearing long sleeves and long pants, but in September it can be hot, so I suggest just wearing long pants. The tour was a lot of fun, so I would like to try a different tour when I come back to Ishigaki Island.

ツアーガイドのお兄さんのお話がとても 良かったです！
ヤシガニは５匹以上 、赤ちゃんヤシガニまで見れたり！星空は天の川や 織姫と彦星が見れたりしました。他にも沢山の生物を見れたりと 大満足です！
なかなか行けない スポットに連れていってくれます！
ただ ツアー自体３時間はかかりますので、お時間がある方にオススメです。
長袖長ズボンと記載されてますが9月だと暑いので 長ズボンだけにするなどしてはしい。
ツアーはすごく楽しかったので また石垣島に来たら違うツアーにも行ってみたいです。

The first half was a thrilling tour where we moved forward in the dark with our lights on. After being guided through various wonderful local creatures like giant coconut crabs, sea snakes, crabs, and frogs, we were able to see a stunning starry sky and the Milky Way in the second half. I was moved to have photos taken with the starry sky as a backdrop. I also appreciated the guide's spirit of service. It was absolutely fantastic. If I come to Miyako Island again, I plan to use this service once more. Thank you very much.

前半は暗闇の中でライトを照らしてドキドキしながら進むツアーでした。巨大ヤシガニや海蛇、カニ、カエルなどのさまざまな素敵な現地の生物を案内していただいたあと、後半は満点の最高の星空や天の川を見ることができました。星空をバックの写真も撮ってもらえて感動しました。ガイドさんのサービス精神もありがたかったです。めちゃくちゃ良かったです。宮古島に来ることがあれば、また利用するつもりです。ありがとうございました。

I felt that the service was a bit rough or careless, but the photos were taken very beautifully. Thank you.

ちょっと対応がラフというか、雑なところは感じましたが、写真はとても綺麗に撮っていただけました。
ありがとうございました。

This trip was planned around my child's wish to see a coconut crab, so we were thrilled to see the coveted coconut crab in person! The kids were super excited! We were lucky to encounter a large coconut crab as well, which made us very happy!

Walking through the dark forest felt like an adventure, and it was fun. Although some parts of the path were slippery and there were protruding rocks, the guides provided encouragement and matched our pace, allowing us to enjoy without any anxiety or fear.

The starry sky was incredibly beautiful and soothing. The explanations about the constellations were very educational. On the way back, we enjoyed quizzes about Ishigaki Island and even some spooky stories, making the tour fun from start to finish.

The guide's personality and storytelling were fantastic! This was the most enjoyable tour I've ever participated in. I will definitely join again when I come back to Ishigaki Island. Thank you!

今回の旅行は、子どもの「ヤシガニが見たい！」で企画した石垣島旅行でしたので、動画の中で見た憧れのヤシガニを生で見ることができ、子どもたちは大興奮でした！運良く、大きなサイズのヤシガニにも出会えて嬉しかったです！
真っ暗な森を歩いて行くのも、探検をしているようで楽しかったです。途中足場が滑りやすかったり、岩がせり出ている道もありましたが、細かな声掛けやゆっくりとペースを合わせていただき、不安や恐怖心もなく楽しむ事ができました(^^)
星空も最高にキレイで癒されました。星座の説明もしていただき大変勉強になりました☆
帰り路の車内でも、石垣島クイズやちょっと怖いホラー話も聞かせていただき、最初から最後までずっと楽しいツアーでした。
ガイドさんの人柄やトークも最高でした♪今まで参加したツアーの中で1番楽しかったです。
また石垣島に来た際は参加必須です( ◠‿◠ )
ありがとうございました！

We participated as a family. My wife and children were very satisfied, saying they had never seen so many stars before. Next time, I definitely want to join in a different season!

家族で参加しました。妻、子供ともどもこんなに沢山の星を見たことがないと大変満足しました。今度は是非季節を変え参加したいと思います!

The tour guide was knowledgeable about the island's unique wildlife, and we were able to see frogs, the largest spider in Japan, a natural monument shell, a bagworm, and the coconut crab we were hoping to see. It was a very enjoyable night tour for animal lovers! Thank you for the valuable experience.

ツアーのガイドさんが、島固有の生物に詳しく、カエルや日本最大の蜘蛛、天然記念物の巻貝、ミノムシ、目的だったヤシガニにも会えて、生き物好きには、とても楽しい夜のツアーとなりました！
貴重な体験ありがとうございます

I heard that the stars in Miyako Island are beautiful, so I was looking for a place that could take photos of the night sky and found this one! They were very kind to provide details during the preliminary reservation! When I arrived on the day, the night sky was unlike anything I had ever seen, and it was so beautiful!!! The person in charge came and took photos with the stars, and they also taught me about the stars and chatted with me in a friendly manner, which made me very happy! The data arrived two days later, and I really appreciated the quick response! The stars were captured beautifully, and I am very satisfied! I was so happy to see the Milky Way for the first time!!

宮古島の星が綺麗ときき、星空の写真を撮ってくれるところを探していてこちらをみつけました！
仮予約の時に詳細を教えてくれてとても親切でした！
当日現地に行くともう見たことがないくらいの星空で、とても綺麗でした！！！
そして担当の方が来てくれて、星空と一緒にお写真を撮って頂きました！
星のことも教えてくれて気さくにお話してくれてとても嬉しかったです！
データが２日後に届いてとても迅速な対応をありがとうございました！
めちゃくちゃ星が綺麗に映っていてとても満足です！天の川初めて見れて嬉しかったです！！

I was worried because it was cloudy, but the stars were beautifully visible. The photographer provided great background music and gave precise instructions, which made for a good shoot.

曇りだったので大丈夫かと心配でしたが、星が綺麗に見えてました。
撮影担当者もよいBGMを流しながら的確に指示してくれたのでいい撮影ができました。

I went on a commemorative trip with my friends.
On the first day, the weather was bad, so we postponed it to the next day, and the weather was nice then, with a beautiful Milky Way.
I quickly showed the photos to the kids who were curious about them, and I even learned some tips on how to take beautiful pictures of the starry sky with my own phone.
Thank you very much.

友達との記念旅行で撮影に行きました。
1日目は天候が悪く次の日にずらしてもらい次の日は天気も良く天の川が綺麗でした。
撮れた写真が気になる子供達にすぐ見せて頂いたり、自分の携帯で星空を綺麗に撮るコツまで教えて頂きました。
ありがとうございました。

I was a bit worried that I wouldn't be able to see many stars in the city area. It was dark and a little scary on the way there, but once I arrived, the staff member was friendly and funny. The forecast said it would be rainy and cloudy, but the weather in Miyako Island changes quickly, and we were able to see a perfect starry sky! It was truly beautiful and moving, and it became a wonderful memory. I was really glad I captured so many stars with my own eyes and took photos! I wish I had thought more about the poses I wanted to take, and I think it would be nice to wear cute clothes and have a nice hairstyle for the occasion!

市街の辺ではあんまり星がなくて本当に見えるのかなぁと少し不安でした。笑
行くまでも暗くて少し怖かったですが、ついてみたら担当のお兄さんが親しみやすく、面白い人で
予報では雨から曇りだったらしいのですが、宮古島の天気はコロコロ変わりやすく、晴れて100点満点の星空が見られました！本当にすごい綺麗で感動しましたし、いい思い出になりました♡肉眼でもあんなにたくさん見れて本当に写真に残して正解です！
撮りたいポーズをもっと考えていたらよかったなと思ったのと、髪型も服も可愛い服でいくのがいいと思いました！

The children were delighted to encounter creatures and a large coconut crab. The parents were moved by the perfect starry sky.

Due to other tours being present and the limited time, there were only a few places where we could leisurely search for creatures, which seemed a bit unsatisfying for the children.

Also, since it can get quite sweaty, it's better to prepare plenty of water for peace of mind.

There was some trash washed up from neighboring countries, which left us with mixed feelings. I thought it would be nice to have a tour that involves picking that up as well.

The guide was friendly and cheerful with the children, allowing us to enjoy the experience with peace of mind. Thank you!

子供は生き物探しと大きなヤシガニと数匹会えたことに喜んでいました。親は満点の星空に感動。
前後に他のツアーがいたり、時間もあるので、ゆっくり生き物を探せる場所は限られていました、そこが子供は少し物足りなかったようです。
あと汗だくになるので水分は多めに準備していったほうが安心です。
隣の国から流れ着いたゴミもところどころあり、複雑な気持ちに。それを拾いながらのツアーなんかもあるといいな、と思いました。
ガイドさんは子供達にも気さくで明るく接してくださり、安心して楽しめました◎
ありがとうございました！

We participated as a family of four. The tour guides introduced us to many creatures, showed us how to catch a coconut crab climbing on a rock, and helped us find pandanus fruit. During the bus ride there, they also shared stories about Ishigaki Island, making the travel time enjoyable. They provided rental boots and lights, which kept our shoes clean, so that was great. Thank you very much. We would love to participate again.

家族4人で参加しました。
ツアーはガイドのお二人がたくさん生き物を紹介してくれたら、ヤシガニを岩に登って取って見せてくれたら、アダンの実も探して見せてくれました。
また行きのバスの中でも、石垣島のお話をしてくれて移動時間も楽しく過ごせました。
長靴とライトの貸し出しがあり、靴も汚れず良かったです。
ありがとうございました。またぜひ参加させていただきます。

I was able to see the most amazing starry sky and take some wonderful photos, and I am very satisfied! If I come back to Miyako Island, I would like to request the starry sky tour here again!

最高に素敵な星空を見れて、とっても素敵な写真も撮っていただけて、大満足です！
また宮古島に来たらこちらで星空ツアーお願いしたいです！

I was informed in advance that while there would be a starry sky, depending on the season and time, there might be moonlight, so we would focus on shooting with the moonlight. On the day of the shoot, I was worried because it was cloudy, but the stars appeared just in time for the shooting, which was a relief. The actual shooting took about 30 minutes. I was asked if I had thought about the poses I wanted, but I hadn’t thought of anything... However, the photographer gave clear and prompt instructions on poses and positioning, allowing the shoot to proceed smoothly.

星空とありますが季節や時間によっては月明かりがあるので、月明かりを中心に撮影を進めます、と事前に連絡をいただいていました。当日は曇り空のため不安でしたが、撮影の時間には星空があらわれ一安心。撮影自体は３０分程度、とりたいポーズを考えてきましたか、と聞かれましたが、何も考えておらず・・・。しかし、カメラマンさんがポーズや位置どりなどの指示をテンポよくしてくださりスムーズに撮影を進めてくださいました。
