All Reviews for Okinawa Stargazing

It wasn't as immersive in nature as I expected from a night safari, but (well, the whole of Ishigaki is quite natural) I enjoyed the introduction of palm crabs, spiders, hermit crabs, and distinctive plants. The Ryukyu scops owl on the power lines was also a highlight.

As we were watching, the sky cleared up more and more, and the starry sky was incredibly clear, which was moving. The guides' love for Ishigaki and nature shone through, and even when things didn't go as planned, they surely found a way to keep the atmosphere lively.

ナイトサファリというほど大自然の中に突っ込むわけではなかったのが少し肩透かしだったけど、(まあ、石垣全体が自然多めなんだけど) ヤシガニ、クモ、オカヤドカリや特徴的な植物紹介も有り楽しめた。電線のリュウキュウコノハズクも。
鑑賞している間にどんどん晴れて来て星空がめちゃクリアだったのが感動的だった。ガイドさん達は石垣愛、自然愛がにじみ出ており、不発に終わった時も何とか盛り上げてくれるに違いない。

The weather in Ishigaki Island changes rapidly, so I made a reservation on the day of. Until just before, it was pouring rain, and I was half giving up while in the car heading to the meeting point. However, after that, the rain stopped, and I was able to see some stars being blown by the wind.

There were many stars visible to the naked eye, but the Milky Way was clearly visible through the binoculars we borrowed, and my whole family was moved by it. Although there were still some clouds left from the rain just before, we were captivated by the night sky while receiving explanations about the stars visible through the gaps! My second son, who is in the second grade, was excitedly searching for stars, even though the explanations about the night sky were a bit difficult for him.

The way the night sky looks differs due to latitude, and the explanations were easy to understand. Also, despite the rain just before, the chairs and the borrowed binoculars were not wet, making it a wonderful and memorable experience in Ishigaki Island.

石垣島の天気はコロコロ変わるので、当日に申し込みをしました。
直前まではどしゃ降りで、車で向かった集合場所の車内で半ば諦めていましたが、、その後、あのどしゃ降りの雨は何だったのか、、という位、雨は上がり風に吹かれて星もそれなりに見えることが出来ました。
肉眼で見える星空もたくさんありましたが、天の川は貸してくれた双眼鏡でハッキリと見え、家族全員で感動しました。
当日は直前の雨の影響で、雲が残っていたものの、隙間から見える星を解説してもらいながら、星空に魅力されました！
小学2年生の次男は、少し難しいだろう星空の解説にも関わらず、星を一生懸命探しながら興奮していました。
緯度の違いで普段見える星空の見えかたも違い、説明も分かりやすかったです。また、直前の雨でも椅子や借りた双眼鏡などは濡れていることもなく、素敵な石垣島の思い出深い経験になりました。

The starry sky was incredibly beautiful!!
It was disappointing not to see the coconut crabs, but it was fun to see bats and other things☺️
The guide was also cool and entertaining.
I'm glad I could experience something out of the ordinary!
It was helpful that they drove me back to the hotel where I was staying!

星空がめっちゃくちゃ綺麗でした！！
ヤシガニがいなくて残念でしたが、コウモリなど見れて楽しかったです☺️
ガイドのお兄さんもかっこよくて面白かったです
非日常を味わえてよかったです！
帰りも宿泊してるホテルまで送ってもらえて助かりました！

The starry sky was incredibly beautiful and moving! The guide was very knowledgeable about the stars, and it was a lot of fun to enjoy the viewing while listening to the explanations. At the night safari, I was able to see animals and plants I had never seen before, and it was enjoyable! It became a wonderful memory! Thank you very much!

星空がとても綺麗で感動しました！
ガイドの方はとても星に詳しく、説明を聞きながらの鑑賞はとても楽しかったです。
ナイトサファリでは今まで見たことない動物や植物を見ることができ、楽しかったです！
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！

Fortunately, the weather was great, and the stars were very beautiful, but there were quite a few moths flying around, and as someone who is not good with insects, I couldn't concentrate much on the stars.

幸運にも天気に恵まれて、星はとてもきれいに見えたのですが、蛾などがけっこう飛びかっていて、虫がとても苦手な私は、あまり星に集中できませんでした。

In a wonderful environment without light, I was able to see many beautiful stars. The guide was very skilled, and it was a great time that allowed me to rediscover the joy of stargazing.

明かりのない素晴らしい環境の中、きれいな星がたくさん見られました。ガイドの方の案内もとても上手で、天体観測の楽しさを改めて知れたいい時間となりました。

I was truly amazed by the view of the Milky Way, as it felt like I was looking at a planetarium with a sky full of stars for the first time. When I saw the photos, I was even more surprised by how beautiful they were! Unfortunately, my iPhone couldn't capture the stunning night sky, so I'm really glad I joined the tour! The staff were all very kind and even recommended some great places, which made my time enjoyable. Thank you for a wonderful experience!☆

本当にプラネタリウムを見てるような一面の星空で初めて肉眼で見る天の川に感動していたら写真で見るともっと綺麗で驚きました！！iPhoneだとせっかくの綺麗な星空が何も映らなかったのでツアーにしといて良かったなと実感しました…！スタッフさん達も皆さんとても親切でおすすめのお店なども教えて頂いて楽しく過ごせました(^^)素敵な時間をありがとうございました☆

We participated as a family.
The exploration began in a tense state in the pitch-black nature without any streetlights.
We encountered large coconut crabs and various insects, and our children's questions were answered kindly.
We also met many rare creatures unique to Okinawa.
The starry sky was in such good condition that we could see the Milky Way, just like in a planetarium.
It became a wonderful memory of our trip.
If there is another opportunity, we would appreciate it.

親子で参加させていただきました。
街頭もなく、真っ暗な自然の中で緊張した状態で散策が始まりました。
大きなヤシガニや様々な昆虫、子供の質問にも丁寧に答えていただきました。
沖縄固有の珍しい生き物にもたくさん出会いました。
星空はプラネタリウムほどの良いコンディションで天の川まで観ることができました。
旅の良い思い出となりました。
また機会がありましたらよろしくお願いいたします。

The starry sky was very beautiful. It was great to have explanations since we could focus on various stars. That day happened to be the day of the meteor shower, so we were excited to see many shooting stars. They set up a square in the meadow, but the bugs weren't too bothersome. It would have been even better if we had more time to photograph the stars.

とても綺麗に星空が見えました。
いろんな星に注目できるので解説があったのがとても良かった。
その日は丁度流星群の日だったので、いくつも流れ星が見れて盛り上がりました。
原っぱに広場を設けてるのですが虫はそれほど気になりませんでした。
星を撮影できる時間があればもっと良かった。

The tour began at the park entrance around sunset. We were first provided with insect repellent spray and flashlights, and since we wouldn't be entering any dangerous areas, it was fine to wear sandals, making it easy to participate in the tour without carrying anything.

Typically, this tour is very popular, with dozens of groups participating each day, but due to recent circumstances, there were only a few of us today. However, we didn't have to worry about crowding, and we were able to listen to the guide's stories at a leisurely pace, which made for a very valuable experience.

The content of the tour likely varies depending on the weather and season, but we observed various creatures while walking through the lush forest park, and then we went to an open area to stargaze. Time flew by, and even as two adults, we had plenty of fun.

On the day we participated, we were fortunate enough to see coconut crabs more than ten times after the rain. This was a tour I would love to join again when I visit Miyako Island next time. It was an experience that allowed me to take home wonderful memories, and I would recommend the night tour to family and friends, not just spending time at the beach.

日が沈んだ頃に公園入口に集合でツアーが始まりました。初めに虫除けスプレーと懐中電灯を貸して頂き、危険な場所には入らないので、サンダルでも大丈夫とのことで、手ぶらでも気軽にツアー参加できました。
例年は大変人気のツアーで一日に何十組も参加されるとのことですが、昨今の状況もあり本日は少数でのツアーとなりましたが、３密になることもなく、ガイドさんのお話もゆっくり聞けて、とても貴重な体験ができたと感じました。
ツアーの内容は自然相手のため、天候や季節によって変わると思いますが、生き物を観察しながら自然豊富な森の中の公園を抜け、その先の開けた場所で星空を観察し、あっという間に時間が過ぎ、大人２人でも十分に楽しめました。
特に参加した日は、雨上がりでヤシガニを１０回以上見ることができる幸運にも恵まれました。
次回宮古島を訪れた際にも、もう一度参加したいと思えるツアーでした。思い出話をお土産にできる体験ができ、ビーチで過ごすだけでなく、ナイトツアーも家族や友人にも勧めたいと思います。

I've been to Miyako Island many times, but this was my first time taking photos with the starry sky! I had wanted to try it once, so I signed up! As soon as I got out of the car at the location, I was amazed by the stunning starry sky. Stars were everywhere! And the magnificent Milky Way was clearly visible to everyone!

Moreover, it happened to be the day of the Perseids meteor shower, and I was able to see shooting stars several times! The staff were quick to greet us and the service was smooth. They guided each group to the shooting location to avoid crowding, but since it was dark, I felt it was hard to be overly concerned about social distancing.

On the way back, there were quite a few cars parked, but everyone was quietly enjoying the starry sky.

Traveling with kids can be challenging no matter where you go, and even in the dark, there were some squabbles, but we managed to take some lovely family photos! However, one disappointing thing was that since it was a night shoot, I thought our faces wouldn't be clearly visible, so I didn't put on makeup and my husband didn't groom his beard... (laughs) Next time, I want to be fully prepared and try again! Thank you very much.

宮古島には何度もきていますが星空との写真撮影は初めて！
一度やってみたくて申し込みしました！現地につくともー車をおりた瞬間に感動の星空。どこみても星、星、星！そして誰がみてもハッキリとわかる壮大な天の川！
そしてなんとなんとペルセウス座流星群の日で何度か流れ星もみれました！
スタッフの方もすぐ声をかけてくださり対応もスムーズ。3密にならないよう一組ずつ撮影場所に案内していましたがなんせ暗闇なので3密とかソーシャルディスタンスとかそこまで神経質になれない状況なのかなと感じました。

帰り際は停車してる車もかなり増えておりましたが星空はみなさん静かに観賞されてました。

子連れだとどこいっても大変ですが暗闇の中でもケンカしたりとめんどうでしたが素敵な家族写真が撮れました！
たーだ、一つ残念なのが夜の撮影なので顔がハッキリ写らないと思い込んでいたら写るらしく私はメイク、夫はひげを整えておらず…(笑)
次回は準備万端でまた挑みたいと思いました！
ありがとうございました。

I participated with my middle school and high school children. I was worried because a typhoon was coming, but instead of canceling, we postponed and took on the challenge! I'm really glad we didn't give up and participated. The guide was truly entertaining! I couldn't stop feeling excited! We found various creatures one after another! My daughter and son, who were initially reluctant due to their rebellious phase, were surprisingly thrilled! We got to see a starry sky with the Milky Way, and my troubled heart cleared up; it was truly a wonderful night. It might have been the most fun I've had on Ishigaki Island. I apologize for the trouble when my son rushed to the restroom due to a stomachache, but everyone was so warm-hearted, and I can't express how grateful I am for that night. I want to go again!

私と中学生、高校生の子供と三人で参加しました。台風が来ていたので心配でしたが、キャンセルせずに日延べをしてチャレンジ！あきらめず参加してよかったです。本当にガイドさんが面白い！　とにかくワクワクが止まりません！　いろいろな生き物が次から次へと見つけるし出てくるし！　最初は気乗りしなかった反抗期の娘と息子はびっくりするぐらい大はしゃぎ！満点の星空に天の川が見れて、モヤモヤした心がすっきり晴れて本当に素敵な夜でした。石垣島で一番楽しかったかもです。途中で息子が腹痛でトイレに駆け込みご迷惑をおかけしましたが、皆さん心温かくて感謝しきれないくらいの夜でした。また行きたいです！

They made sure to keep space between our group and others to avoid close contact, and they also prepared tea for us. Most importantly, they provided a thorough explanation about the stars, and before we knew it, an hour had passed! Honestly, I had some concerns about whether it was okay to go during this time, but it was amazing to see so many stars that I've always wanted to see! I never expected to see the Milky Way so beautifully… I definitely want to participate again!

三密回避で、きちんとグループ以外の人達との空間はあけてくださっていたし、お茶も用意してくださって、何より星のことたくさん丁寧に説明してくださって、あっという間に1時間が過ぎました！
正直、この時期に行っても良いのかな？という気持ちはありましたが、念願の星がたくさん見れて最高でした‼︎天の川があんなにきれいに観れるとは…
また、参加したいなぁと思います！

I was moved to encounter unique creatures like coconut crabs and habu snakes that can only be found on Iriomote Island. I was able to see several coconut crabs, and it felt like I wanted to see more. However, since they are not often seen on Ishigaki Island, I think it’s worth staying on Iriomote Island and participating in a night tour.

The beach I reached after passing through the jungle was even more impressive with the stars! I was very satisfied to see the Milky Way and shooting stars.

In addition to information about wildlife, plants, and stars, I learned a lot about delicious restaurants, which was very informative.

I would love to participate again!

ヤシガニやハブなど、西表島ならではの生物に出会えて感動しました。
ヤシガニは何個体も見れて、またーって感じでしたが、石垣島ではあまり見られないと言う事で、西表島に宿泊し、ナイトツアーに参加する価値ありだと思いました。

ジャングルを抜けた先のビーチで見た、星に更なる感動！
天の川、流れ星も見れて、大満足です。

生物、植物、星などに加え、ご飯の美味しいお店など幅広い情報を教えて頂き、とても勉強になりました。

また参加させて頂きたいなと思いました！

Kuri-chan, our guide, took us to some hidden spots, and we quickly saw a lot of coconut crabs. We were also able to find fireflies and snakes. Additionally, we visited two spots with a stunning starry sky. There were hardly any people around, and even though it wasn't a new moon, the Milky Way was clearly visible, making the night sky absolutely beautiful! I want to come back during the new moon in May. Thank you very much!

ガイドのくりちゃんが穴場スポットを案内してくれて、ヤシガニはすぐに、たくさん出てきました。また、ホタルもヘビなんかも見つけることができました。さらに、満天の星空スポットを2ヶ所周ることができました。人が全然いないし、新月じゃないのに天の川がはっきり見えるほど綺麗な星空で最高でした！！今度は5月の新月の時期に来たいと思います。ありがとうございました！

Before the tour started, it was quite cloudy, so we were asked for a final confirmation of our willingness to participate (even though the clouds might obstruct our view of the stars). Since my stay was short and I couldn't reschedule to another date, I decided to join, and I was able to see many stars and really enjoyed it.

I was also impressed by the star guide's announcements, which were backed by their extensive knowledge. The visibility of stars varies depending on the weather at that time, so I assume they adapt flexibly each time. There were many moments of spontaneous improvisation.

The pre-participation confirmation and the engaging talks to entertain the guests both reflected a simple yet pure intention to let participants genuinely enjoy the stars, showcasing their consideration and performance. I hope for good weather next time and plan to join again.

ツアー開始前、曇りがちだったため、現地に着いてから最終の意思確認（雲が架かって、星が存分に見れないかもしれないけど参加します？）をされました。短期滞在だったことと、予定が埋まり他日程への振替が出来ないこともあり、結果参加させて頂きましたが、多くの星を見る事ができ楽しめました。
また、星案内人さんの豊富な知識に裏付けされたアナウンスにも感服。その日、その時間の天気によって見えやすい星が異なるので、その都度臨機応変にご対応されているものと推測します。柔軟なアドリブが随所にありました。
参加する前の意思確認や、お客を楽しませるためのトーク、いずれも「参加した方に純粋に星を楽しんでもらう」というシンプルながら高純度の想いがあるからこその配慮やパフォーマンス。
次回は運良く天気になればよいな、と神頼みして参加しようと思います。

I participated two years ago in the fall, and this time I joined in the summer. Overall, the beautiful starry sky was truly a wonderful experience. Compared to my last visit, I was a little disappointed this time. The guide from my previous visit had great speaking skills and extensive knowledge, which moved me beyond just the starry sky and made me decide to return. However, this time there was no final Q&A session, and I felt there were fewer detailed discussions, such as how many billions of light-years away the stars are.

That said, it was only a slight disappointment compared to my expectations. If it’s your first time, I believe you will undoubtedly be impressed.

They were very kind in helping us adjust the binoculars for the children. My 4-year-old and 7-year-old were delighted, saying, "I can see it!" (Last time, my 2-year-old was mostly asleep.)

前回は2年前の秋に参加。今回は夏に参加しました。
総じて大変な綺麗な星空が見え、本当に素敵な体験でした。
前回との比較では、今回は少しだけがっかり。
前回のガイドさんのトーク力・知識が豊富で、星空だけでなく、そこにも感動し再訪を決めました。
しかし今回は、最後の質問タイムもなく、あの星は何億光年前の光が届いている等の細かな話なども少なかった印象でした。

ただ、期待値に対して少し残念、というレベル。はじめての利用であれば、間違いなく感動されると思います。

子ども用の双眼鏡も、一緒にピントをあわせていただけるなど、とても親切にしていただきました。4歳と7歳の子どもも「見えた！」と喜んでいました。(前回、2歳児はほぼ終始寝ておりました)

I came to Ishigaki Island dreaming of a starry sky, but unfortunately, due to the mischief of the trade winds, my dream did not come true.

However, thanks to the thoughtful arrangements by the staff, I got to see the stars on the ground (the night view). ✨✨

By chance, a coconut crab appeared, and I took pictures with the beautiful pink sagaribana, being careful not to step on the hermit crabs scurrying about... I enjoyed the nighttime adventure on the island.

What impressed me the most was that after the tour, the staff thoroughly assisted me with planning the next day's tour, allowing me to have a wonderful experience! ❗

Thank you so much! ☺️ I had a great time! ➰✨

満点の星空を夢見て石垣島に来たものの、
パイカジ（南風)のいたずらで残念ながら、夢叶わず

でもstaffさんの粋な計らいで、
地上の星(夜景)を見ました。✨✨

運良く、ヤシガニもあらわれ、美しいピンクのサガリバナと共に写真を撮り、せっせと歩くヤドカリたちを踏み潰さないように…と、夜の島のアドベンチャーを楽しみました。

何よりも私が感激したのは、
ツアー後、翌日のツアーの相談にstaffさんがトコトン付き合ってくれて、素晴らしいツアーを体験することができたこと❗

本当にありがとう☺️
楽しかったよ➰✨

It was just the right time to see the comet, and I was able to see it with my own eyes! I was so moved! I got lost and arrived late from the meeting time, but I was very grateful for the staff's polite guidance!

ちょうど、彗星が見える時期で
肉眼で見ることができました！感激です！
道に迷ってしまい、集合時間から遅れてしまったのですが
スタッフの皆様の丁寧なご案内で、とてもありがたかったです！

I participated in the starry sky tour because Ishigaki Island has been designated as a starry sky protection area! I chose this tour because I could cancel until 4 PM if the weather was concerning.

On the day of the tour, there were a few clouds before departure, which made me a bit anxious, but I boarded a large, beautiful cruise ship, enjoyed a drink, and received a thorough explanation of the precautions from the staff, which made me forget my worries as we set sail!

We soon passed under the Southern Gate Bridge, which looked stunning lit up from the sea! As we headed into the darkness, the stars began to appear! Although there were some clouds, I could see many small stars that I couldn't see back home! I was amazed at how many stars there were, feeling like they were closer than ever!

Our guide, Suzuki, used a laser pointer to explain the stars, making it easy to understand and very interesting! After that, there was a sanshin live performance, and while listening to Okinawan folk songs, the pleasant breeze and the starry sky washed my heart clean!

The night view of Ishigaki Island from the sea was also beautiful, and all the stress from the pandemic life just vanished! Nature is wonderful!

I had the impression that larger group tours often treated customers roughly, but here, the kind staff provided careful explanations and implemented solid infection control measures, allowing me to participate with peace of mind. Thank you very much! I will definitely join again when I come back to Ishigaki Island!

石垣島は星空保護区に認定されているということで星空てぃんがーらツアーに参加しました！
天候が気になって16時までならキャンセルもできるということでこちらのツアーにしました！
参加当日は、出航前に少し雲が出ていて少し不安もあるなか、大型の素敵なクルーズ船に乗り込みお酒を頂き席へ、スタッフさんから注意事項の丁寧な説明があり不安も忘れて出航！笑
すぐに昼間通ったサザンゲートブリッジの下をくぐりました、海から見るライトアップしてるサザンゲートブリッジも素敵でした！
いよいよ暗闇へ、向かってくなか星が見えてきました！雲も少しありましたが、地元では見えないような小さな星まで沢山見えました！地元より近くに星が見えて、こんなに星が沢山あるのかと感動しました！
ガイドの鈴木さんがレザーポインターで星の説明をしてくれて分かりやすくて面白かったです！
そのあと三線ライブがあり、沖縄の民謡を聞きながら心地よい風と満天の星空、めちゃくちゃ心洗われました！
海から見る石垣島の夜景も素敵で、自粛生活のストレスが一気に吹き飛びました！
自然て素晴らしい！
大人数のツアーだと雑に扱われるショップさんが多い印象でしたが、こちらは島の優しいスタッフさんの丁寧な説明と、しっかりした感染対策で安心して参加できました。ありがとうございました！
また石垣島に来た際は参加させていただきますね！

I applied for the experience based on reviews and Instagram. From the images, I thought it was too beautiful to be true. However, when I got there, the stunning scenery was right in front of me. I was able to enjoy the most breathtaking view of my life.

口コミやインスタグラムを参考に体験を申し込みました。画像を見る限り、あまりにも美しすぎるので、これは嘘だと思っていました。しかし、現場に行ってみたら美しすぎる景色がそこには広がっていました。今までの人生の中で一番の絶景が堪能できました。

I saw such a beautiful starry sky for the first time. The photo with the Milky Way turned out really great! After the shoot, they kindly recommended some great places in Miyako Island.

初めてあんなに綺麗な星空を見ました。天の川と一緒に撮れてすごくいい写真でした！撮影が終わってからも宮古島のおすすめのお店などを教えて頂いてすごく親切でした(^^)

I was able to see the Neowise comet. They also provided explanations of various constellations. It was nice to lean back in a chair while using binoculars and enjoying the drink service.

ネオワイズド彗星が見れました。他にも色々な星座の説明もしてくれます。イスにもたれながら双眼鏡、ドリンクサービスなどよかったです。

It was a perfect night for a tour, and I had a great time with a friendly guide exploring Sagari-bana and searching for creatures, as well as stargazing. I learned many interesting facts about Iriomote Island, which made me love it even more. Being able to observe the Neowise comet at the beach was also an unforgettable memory.

絶好のナイトツアー日和の中、
親切なガイドさんとサガリバナや生き物探し、星空鑑賞と盛りだくさんで楽しかったです。
西表島に関する豆知識もたくさん教えてもらい、ますます好きになりました。
ビーチにてネオワイズ彗星が運良く観測できたのも最高の思い出です。

The guide was really interesting and fun. I encountered many creatures I had never seen before, and I even came across a snake. Above all, the starry sky was so beautiful that it felt like a dream, and I didn't want to go home...

ガイドのお兄ちゃん、すごく面白く楽しかったです。
今までみたことの生き物と続々と出会い、ハブにも遭遇しました。
そして、何よりも星空がキレイすぎで、夢みたい
、帰りたくはなかったです。。。

I participated in this tour for the first time. I was worried about whether I would be able to see the stars, but I was very satisfied as I was able to see many stars. It was great not only to see the stars but also the staff's easy-to-understand explanations of the stars, their names, and how to find constellations, which were clear enough for elementary school children to understand! Even my child, who wasn't very interested in stars, listened with great curiosity. The live sanshin performance also added a nice Okinawan feel, and I enjoyed it comfortably. Additionally, when a rain cloud briefly passed and it started to rain, the staff quickly distributed raincoats, which was a nice service. Social distancing was also properly maintained, which made me feel safe. If I have the opportunity again, I would definitely use this shop. Thank you very much! m(__)m

今回、こちらのツアーに初めて参加しました。
星が見えるか不安でしたが、沢山の星を見ることができ大満足でした。
星を見ることが出来たことも良かったですがスタッフの分かりやすい星の説明や名前、星座の見つけ方など小学生の子供にも分かりやすい解説が良かったです！
あまり星に興味がなかった子供も興味津々で話を聞いていました☆
三線ライブも沖縄感が出て心地よく聞く事が出来ました
又、一瞬雨雲がかかり雨が少し降った際はスタッフの方が素早くレインコートを配ってくださりサービスも良かったです。
ソーシャルディスタンスもきちんと保たれ安心でした。
また機会がある際は、また利用しようと思うショップさんでした。ありがとうございましたm(__)m

We participated with two children and four people in total. The night safari was an exciting adventure. The guides were very kind and supportive to the children, helping us find many creatures, and we encountered more animals than we expected. They provided detailed explanations about the creatures, Ishigaki Island, and the starry sky. It was nice to have a more intimate and private feel compared to larger tours. The starry sky and shooting stars were a lucky treat, and they also taught us about many constellations. We were even shown a beautiful night view, making it a memorable tour. Thank you so much for everything!

子供2人と4名で参加させていただきました。
ナイトサファリはドキドキの冒険でした。
子供達にも優しくサポートして下さり、生き物を2人のガイドさんでよくよく探してくれて、思ったよりたくさんの生き物に出会えました。
生き物や石垣島の説明や星空の説明もとても詳しく教えてくれました。大人数のツアーよりアットホームでプライベート感もあって良かったです。
満点の星空と流れ星はラッキーでしたが、たくさんの星座も教えて下さり、おまけの夜景も見せていただき心に残るツアーになりました。本当にお世話になりました！！

I happened to make a reservation on the day of the new moon, and I was a bit nervous walking down the dark path on the first day in Kinomiya. However, thanks to the Google Maps link you sent via email at the time of booking, I arrived safely at the location. It was a day with some clouds, but I managed to take photos at the right moment. The data was sent to me the very next day. The photos were wonderful. Thank you!

たまたま新月の日に予約となり、来宮古初日に暗い道でドキドキしましたが、予約時にメールで送っていただいたGoogleマップのおかげで、無事に現地へ到着しました。多少の雲がある日でしたが、タイミングを見て撮影しました。翌日にすぐ、データが送られてきました。素敵な写真でした。ありがとうございました！

The guide was very kind, and perhaps due to luck, we encountered a total of four coconut crabs, a habu snake, and various insects and frogs whose names I forgot. Once we got to the beach, it was truly a "starry sky"; we could even see which direction the Milky Way was in, and the Big Dipper was clearly visible. Everything was condensed into a short amount of time, so I highly recommend it for a short stay.

ガイドさんもとても親切かつ運もよかったせいか合計4匹のヤシガニ、ハブ、名前は忘れましたが様々な虫やカエル等に遭遇できました。
ビーチに出てからはまさに「満天の星」、天の川がどの方向にあるかも確認できたし北斗七星もはっきり見えました。短い時間にグッと諸々凝縮されているので短期間滞在にはとてもおすすめ。

I was worried about the unstable weather, but I thought it was considerate that they ask on-site whether to participate or not. When the stars are hidden by clouds and not visible, they flexibly provide explanations about stars from other locations. They also take safety into account with mosquito nets and social distancing measures for COVID-19. I was very satisfied to see a sky full of stars that you can't see in the city. I now want to see the stars in different seasons as well.

天候が不安定で大丈夫かなと思いましたが参加するかしないかを現地で聞いてくれるので良心的だなと思いました。
雲で星が隠れたりして見えないときは臨機応変に他の場所の星の説明をしてくれます。ハブ除けネットやコロナのソーシャルディスタンスなど安全にも配慮されています。
都会では見れない満点の星が見られて大満足です。
また違う季節の星も見てみたくなりました。
