Okinawa
I aimed to book on the day with the best weather forecast during my stay in Ishigaki Island. It was very sunny during the day, and I was excited to participate, but when we arrived at the site by bus, it was completely cloudy. It seems that the weather in Ishigaki Island can change quickly, and after waiting for about 15 minutes while hoping for the best, the event was canceled (ToT). There's nothing you can do about that.
I received a full refund (though the bus fare was charged). However, I was really looking forward to stargazing in Ishigaki, so I kept an eye on the sky until the last minute the next day and applied again on a whim. When we arrived, in stark contrast to the previous day, there was no wind and absolutely no clouds! The weather really played tricks on us, haha.
Since it was just before the full moon, the moonlight was very bright, making it a bit difficult to see the stars, but using binoculars made it much clearer, and above all, the moon was incredibly beautiful. It was also great that we were able to take turns looking through the telescope. The explanations were very easy to understand and enjoyable, which made it really great. I ended up going two days in a row, but I’m so glad I was able to have my revenge! I think I will go again if I have the chance!
石垣島滞在中でいちばん天気がいい予報の日を狙って申込み。昼はとても天気でワクワクして参加したのですが、バスで現地につくと雲だらけ。。石垣島は天気が変わりやすいらしく、15分ほど期待しながらお話を聞いてましたが中止決定(ToT)
こればかりはしょうがないですね。
全額返金されました(バス代はかかります)。
でも石垣島で星を見ることを楽しみにしていたので、翌日のギリギリの時間まで空をみつつ、ダメ元で申込みしました。
現地につくと、昨日とはうってかわって無風で雲も全く無し!ホント天気予報泣かせですね笑。
満月直前だったので月明かりがとても明るく、星は見え辛い日でしたが双眼鏡を使うのでよく見えますし、何より月がとてもとてもキレイでした。望遠鏡で順番に見せて頂けたのもすごく良かったです。
お話もとても分かりやすく楽しくすごく良かったです。2日連続行ってしまいましたがリベンジできて本当に行って良かったです!
また機会があれば行くと思います!
I had seen many stars from the top of a mountain, but it was my first time seeing them from over the ocean. From the ocean, there was nothing obstructing the view, and I was able to see so many beautiful stars! They also explained the constellations, and I had a really enjoyable time.
山の上からたくさんの星を観たことはありましたがら海の上から観たのは初めてでした。海の上からだと遮るものもなく、本当にキレイな星がたくさん見ることができました!星座の説明もしていただき、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
The guide was fun and explained everything clearly, which was great. It was cold, so I appreciated the consideration of providing blankets. However, things related to nature are inevitably affected by the weather at that time. It must be much more beautiful normally, but it was a bit disappointing due to the clouds. Still, they did their best to provide service given the circumstances.
案内してくれる方が楽しくわかりやすく説明してくださり、とても良かったです。寒かったので毛布などの配慮もありがたかったです。ただ、やはり自然に関するものはどうしてもそのときの天候に左右されてしまいますね。本来もっときれいなんでしょうが、雲が多くて少し残念でした。でもそのときなりの状況で精いっぱいサービスしていただきました。
The cloudy sky had some gaps where stars were finally visible here and there. I had planned to see the Milky Way clearly, but it ended up being just a glimpse in my mind's eye. Also, it might be difficult due to the operation of the boat, but since we were offshore within the range of city lights, it seems that seeing the stars beautifully is quite challenging.
曇り空でところどころの雲の切れ間からようやく星がちらほら。
がっつり天の川を見るつもりだったので、心の目で見る程度になってしまいました。
と、船の運行上難しいのかもしれませんが、街の明かりが届く範囲の沖なので、やはりきれいに星を見るのは難しいのかなぁ。
The sky was cloudy, and I couldn't find the North Star at all. I wondered if this is what the starry sky in Ishigaki Island is like... The constellations weren't fully visible, which was disappointing.
雲が多く、北極星が全然見つけられなかった。
石垣島の星空はこんなものかと…
星座は完全には見えないし
残念
The night before, we suddenly decided that we wanted to see the starry sky and made the decision to participate.
However, unfortunately, around 5:00 PM on the day of the event, we received a message saying, "Due to the clouds, there is a possibility that we won't be able to see the starry sky today. Would you still like to participate?" Since we were coming from afar and it’s not easy to visit Ishigaki Island, and although there were clouds during the day, there were also clear skies, I thought it would be better to take the challenge rather than give up in this weather! In the end, I decided to participate! I had a hard time making the decision, but I was impressed by how kindly the staff answered our questions and concerns over the phone (o^^o).
Around 9:00 PM, as we got off the bus with excitement...
the starry sky was breathtaking (≧∀≦)! The staff's explanation using a laser light was easy to understand, and we were also able to see the moon that night, which was exhilarating. During the approximately one hour of viewing time, we were able to see the starry sky for more than half of the time without clouds, which made us very satisfied!
For those who are hesitant because of the possibility of not being able to see the starry sky, I recommend taking the chance to participate if you have the time and money to spare.
On the other hand, there were a couple of things I would like to see improved.
1. I would like to be informed in advance about the prohibition of photography on-site. I had planned to take photos with my camera that day, but it was not allowed. I think it would be great to include a note about this in the tour details beforehand.
2. I would like to know the dress code. It got very cold at the site at night. I think many people only brought light clothing to Ishigaki Island. Although they lent us blankets on-site, I still felt that it was not enough to keep warm. I wish this could have been confirmed in the tour details before participating.
前日夜に急遽『星空が観てみたい!』ということになり、参加を決めました。
しかし残念ながら、当日17:00ごろに『本日は雲が多いため、星空が観れない可能性があります。それでもご参加されますか?』という連絡が。。
遠方からの参加で石垣島にはなかなか来れず、また日中は雲は見受けられたものの晴れ間が広がっていたのでこの天候の中諦めるよりはチャレンジしたい…!と思い、最終的に参加する判断をしました!!
なかなか参加を決められずにいましたが、電話で私たちの質問や相談に丁寧にご回答してくださったのが好印象でした(o^^o)
夜21時ごろ、ドキドキしながらバスを降りたところ…。
満点の星空が見える(≧∀≦)!!
レーザーライトを使ったスタッフさんの説明が分かりやすく、またこの日は月も一緒に見ることができ、大興奮でした。
約1時間の鑑賞時間のうち、半分以上の時間は雲に隠れない星空を見ることができ大満足!
星空を見れない可能性がある…と連絡がきて迷われている方は、お金と時間に余裕があればぜひ参加する方に挑戦いただくのがオススメです。
一方で、改善していただきたいことが2点ほどありました。
①現地での写真撮影禁止を事前に教えてほしい。
当日はカメラを持っていき写真撮影をする予定でしたが不可でした。ぜひ事前に一言、ツアー詳細に掲載していただきたいと思います。
②服装の目安を教えてほしい。
夜の現地はとても冷え込みました。石垣島には薄手の服しか持参されていない方も多いと思います。
現地ではブランケットを貸していただきましたが、それだけでは足りない寒さを感じました。
こちらも参加前にツアー詳細で確認できたら良かったな、と思います。
At first, I thought I would just be shown to my seat and left to look around, but then the guide started. The way they spoke and guided us was very pleasant, and the hour flew by. I had originally booked for the first day, but changed it to the next day due to the weather forecast. On the day I changed, they kindly contacted me to say that the weather might not be very good. They asked how I wanted to proceed, which really touched my heart. The explanations were timely, and I was drawn into the world of stars. I feel like I'm going to love stargazing even more from now on. I happened to be there on a full moon, and I was able to see the entire moon clearly through the telescope, which was very moving. If I have the chance again, I will definitely participate. The pointer is amazing!
始め、席に案内され、勝手に見るだけなのかな?と思ったら、ガイドが始まりました
お話の仕方や進め方がとても心地よく、あっという間の1時間でした。
当初初日に予約してましたが、天気予報から翌日へ変更。
変更した当日はわざわざご連絡いただき、もしかしたらあまり天気に恵まれないかも?どうしますか?との心遣いに心うたれました笑
タイムリーに説明を受け、引き込まれるように星の世界へ。
今後、星空がますます好きになりそうです。
たまたま満月にあたり、望遠鏡で月の全体をハッキリ見せていただき、とても感動しました。
また機会があったら必ず参加させていただきます。
ポインターは凄いですよ
Unfortunately, the originally scheduled tour date was canceled due to cloudy weather. Since stargazing was a major goal of my trip to Ishigaki Island, I rescheduled for the next day and participated in the tour. The daytime weather was decent, so I was hopeful that the view would be nice! However, by the start time, there was a thick cloud cover, and I could barely see Mars peeking through the clouds (laughs).
It was disappointing, but since the moon was close to being full, I was able to enjoy moon gazing with the telescope that was provided, and I could see the craters! Although I couldn't see the stars I was aiming for, I was satisfied with the moonlight bath and the enjoyable stories about the night sky.
I would definitely like to try again, and I rated the experience a bit lower, but I’m glad I participated in the tour this time. Next time I join, I plan to research the phases of the moon thoroughly so I can go and enjoy a perfect starry sky. Thank you!
もともと予定していた参加日があいにくの曇り空だったためツアーが中止となりました。石垣島旅行は星空鑑賞が大きな目的だったので次の日に日付変更し、ツアー参加させていただきました。日中の天気はまずまずだったので綺麗に見えるかも!と期待しながら参加!…したものの開始時間になると分厚い曇り空で、雲の合間から火星がなんとか見えるくらいでした(笑)
残念でしたが月が満月に近かったこともあり、用意していただいていた望遠鏡で月鑑賞をし、クレーターまで見ることができました!
お目当ての星空は見れませんでしたが月光浴と、楽しい星空のお話を聞くことができ、満足です!
ぜひリベンジしたいと思い、評価は低めとさせていただきましたが今回ツアーに参加できてよかったです。次回参加する際は、月の満ち欠けなどよくよく調べてから満点の星空を眺めに行きたいと思っています。ありがとうございました。
It was raining and the sky was cloudy.
The cruising started as it was.
There was a performance, but the atmosphere was lacking.
Well, it was cloudy after all.
The lady just kept talking.
Honestly, it was very disappointing.
I wish they had allowed cancellations.
雨がふり空は曇ってました
そのままクルージングスタート
演奏ありましたが、雰囲気もなく
そりゃ雲かかってますもんね。
お姉さんがひたすら喋るだけ。
正直残念すぎました。
キャンセルできるようにしてほしかった
Thank you to the brother who gave me wings!!
He told me about various spots connected to Saitama!!
All the spots and shops he recommended were amazing!! I really appreciate it because I wouldn't have been able to go without his suggestions (^O^)!
Of course, the starry sky and photos were absolutely satisfying, and I'm really glad I could participate!!!!
羽を授けてくれたお兄さん!!
埼玉繋がりでいろいろスポット教えてもらいした!!
教えてくれたスポット、お店はどれも最高でした!!教えてもらえなかったら、行けてなかったので本当に感謝です(^O^)!
もちろん星空、写真は大大大満足で、参加できて本当に良かったです!!!!!
I'm the guy from Saitama! Haha
If you need information about Miyako Island, leave it to me!
Please come visit again from Saitama! ♪
埼玉のお兄さんです!笑

ぜひまた埼玉から遊び来てくださいね♪
The day I participated in the tour was a new moon, the weather was clear, and there was a meteor shower, making it the perfect conditions. The night sky was filled with stars, and I could see the Milky Way as well as shooting stars. It was the most beautiful starry sky I have ever seen. For those who love starry skies, I highly recommend experiencing it in person at least once! The organizers were friendly and kindly assisted me when I wasn't sure where to go. Thank you for the wonderful memories!
ツアーに参加した日はちょうど新月で天気も晴れ、流星群だったため最高のコンディションでした。満天の星空には天の川も見えて流れ星もみることが出来ました。今までみた星空の中でいちばん綺麗でした。星空好きな方にはぜひ一度生でみてほしい!!
企画してくださっている方もフレンドリーで場所が分からない時も優しく対応してくださいました。ステキな思い出をありがとうございました!!
The new moon meteor shower was truly beautiful! Seeing the starry sky in person surprises everyone, so thank you for allowing us to help create wonderful memories!
新月の流星群は本当に綺麗でしたね(^^)
生で見る星空は皆さんびっくりするのでステキな思い出作りをお手伝いさせてもらいありがとうございました!
The night sky in Iriomote was more beautiful and moving than I had imagined. I had made a reservation the night before, but due to the weather not being great, I changed it to the following day. Thanks to that, our guide, Mr. Iwamoto, kept saying how beautiful the sky would be tonight, and it truly was stunning. While kayaking on the Urauchi River and observing the stars, the bioluminescent plankton glowed every time we paddled, allowing us to enjoy both the sky and the water. We also ventured a little into the mangrove forest. The guide provided various explanations along the way, making the experience even more interesting and enjoyable. I am grateful for the beautiful starry sky, the absence of unnecessary lights at night, and the opportunity to fully enjoy the nature of Iriomote through this wonderful tour.
By the way, since I stayed at Nirakanai, I walked to the location, which took about an hour and a half. I brought a flashlight, but they are available for rent. The kayaking was on calm waters, so I hardly got wet. When getting into the kayak, you walk in the water up to your ankles, so it's best to wear something that can get wet (though they inform you about this in advance…).
西表の夜空は想像以上に美しく感動的でした。
前夜に予約していたのですが、天候がいまいちだったので、翌日に変更していただきました。そのおかげで、ガイドの岩本さんも今夜は綺麗に見えますよを繰り返されるほど、綺麗な夜空でした。浦内川をカヤックを漕ぎながらの星空観察で、水面には夜光虫がパドルを漕ぐたびに発光するので、上下と楽しめました。また、マングローブ林にも少しだけ入って行きました。適宜、色々な説明を加えてくださるので、さらに興味深く楽しむことが出来ました。綺麗な星空、無駄な光の無い夜、西表の自然を満喫でき、よいツアーに参加できたことに感謝します。
ちなみにニラカナイに宿泊だったため、移動は徒歩、所要時間1時間半くらい。ライトを持参しましたが、借りられます。穏やかな水面でのカヤックなので、ほぼ水には濡れません。カヤックに乗り込む際に足首くらいまで水中を歩くため足元は濡れてもよい格好がベストです。(事前に教えてくれますが…)
Thank you for your patronage. Please visit us again if you have the opportunity. Thank you.
ご利用ありがとうございました。また機会あればお越しください。ありがとうございました。
I learned from a friend that Miyako Island has beautiful starry skies, so I participated in a starry sky photo tour for the first time this time. The road to the shooting location was completely dark, and I got a little lost, but when I contacted them, they responded immediately, and I was able to arrive safely. I was worried about the weather after the direct hit of a typhoon, but it was clear during the shooting, and I was truly able to see the starry sky beautifully. They took pictures of the beautiful starry sky along with us, creating the best memories. The staff were also kind, friendly, and easy to talk to. If I have the opportunity to go to Miyako Island again, I would definitely like to request this again. Thank you very much.
宮古島は星空がきれいに見える、ということを友達に教えてもらい、今回初めて星空フォトツアーに参加させていただきました。
撮影場所に行くまでの道は真っ暗で少し道に迷いましたが、連絡したらすぐに対応して頂き無事に着くことができました。
台風直撃後で天候が心配でしたが、撮影時には晴れており星空を本当にきれいに見ることができました。そしてその美しい星空と私たちをそのまま写真に撮って下さり、最高の思い出となりました。
スタッフの方々も優しく気さくで話しやすかったです。
また宮古島に行く機会があれば、次もぜひお願いしたいです。ありがとうございました。
It's a bit hard to see because it's a completely dark place, but the stars are incredibly beautiful as a result.
We look forward to seeing you again! Thank you!
真っ暗な場所なので少々わかりにくいのですがその分星空が凄く綺麗に見えるんです(^^)
ぜひまたお待ちしておりますね!
ありがとうございました!
During my trip, it was quite challenging as I couldn't do any sightseeing or diving due to the typhoon. After the typhoon passed, I quickly signed up for this tour and was truly moved to tears by the incredible stars I had never seen before. I participated alone, but I had a great time. If you're hesitating, I absolutely recommend it. Of course, it depends on the weather that day, but it should become a wonderful memory!
私が旅行した期間、台風で観光やダイビングが出来なかったりなかなか大変でした。
台風が去って、こちらのツアーに急遽申し込み参加させて頂いたのですが、本当に見たことの無いくらいの星、感動で涙が出ました。
一人参加でしたが、楽しめました。
迷っているなら、絶対におすすめです。
もちろん、その日の天候などにもよりますが、最高の思い出になるはずです!
Right after the typhoon passed, I was wondering what it would be like, but I was able to see a sky full of stars and many shooting stars, which was really enjoyable! The guide's explanations were easy to understand, and it made me want to learn more about the stars! I would like to participate again the next time I come to Ishigaki Island!
台風が去った直後で、どうなるかとは思ってましたが、満天の星空と流れ星がいくつも見れて、とても楽しめました!!
ガイドの方の説明もわかりやすく、もっと星について知りたいと思えました!
また次に石垣島に来た際は、参加したいと思います!!
This was my first trip to Miyako Island, and while I was choosing from various tours, I participated in this one. A typhoon was approaching, so it was quite windy, but I was amazed at how great the photos turned out, to the point that I forgot about the strong winds! I couldn't think of any poses, but they provided various instructions, and I ended up with photos that I was very satisfied with! The wings they drew were also really cute, and I highly recommend it as a keepsake!
今回初めて宮古島に旅行に来たのですが、色々ツアーを選んでるところこちらのツアーに参加させてもらいました。台風がこれからくるということで風が強い中写真をとってくださったのですが、強風というのを忘れるくらいの写真の出来上がりで驚きました!ポーズとかも全然思いつかなかったのですが、色々指示してくださり満足のいく写真ができました!羽を描くのもすごくかわいくて是非記念におすすめです!
Shooting during a typhoon can be quite challenging, but I'm glad you liked the photos! Please come visit Miyako Island again! Thank you!
台風が近い時の撮影は中々難しいんですが写真気に入って頂けて良かったです(^^)
ぜひまた宮古島遊びに来てくださいね♪
ありがとうございました!
After the typhoon, I was able to see a beautiful starry sky. The Milky Way was clearly visible, and I was thrilled. The guide's explanations were easy to understand, and I reminisced about how I learned about these things back in school while enjoying the view. Since it's an island floating in the sea, there were times when clouds would appear, so I thought it was necessary to be prepared for that. Still, I’m glad I participated because it's a starry sky that is hard to see otherwise.
台風一過綺麗な星空を見せて頂きました。天の川もハッキリみえ感激しました。ガイドの方の説明も分かり易く[学生の頃にそう言うのを教えてもらったなー]と思い出しながら観賞しました。海に浮かぶ島なので雲がわき出る時がありそれを覚悟して参加する必要があるかと思いました。それでもなかなか観ることの出来ない星空なので参加して良かったと思っています。
On the day of the shoot, a typhoon was approaching and the sky was cloudy, but it seems that the weather in Miyako Island changes quickly, and after waiting a few minutes, a beautiful starry sky spread out before us!!! I was thrilled to be able to take photos under the stunning starry sky just like I had seen on Instagram and other social media!!! I jumped in without thinking about poses, but the photographer was very helpful in guiding me when I couldn't come up with anything. I enjoyed the final images as each one had different lighting and backgrounds in the sky!!!! I definitely want to take more photos the next time I visit Miyako Island!!!
当日は台風が接近していて曇り空でしたが、宮古島は天候が変わりやすいみたいで数分待つと綺麗な星空が広がりました!!!
インスタなどのSNSで見たまんまの綺麗な星空の下で写真が撮れたので感激です!!!
ポーズを何も考えずに挑みましたが、なにも浮かばくなるとカメラマンの方からご指導いただけるので、とても助かりました♪
出来上がりの画像も1枚1枚光の当たり方が違ったり空の背景が違っていて楽しめました!!!!
次回宮古島に行った際も絶対に撮りたいです!!!
I'm really glad it was sunny! I look forward to seeing you again next time! 😊
晴れて本当に良かったです!
ぜひまた次回もお待ちしております(^^)
This time it was half a month, but the sky was quite bright, so the stargazing effect was reduced. I would like to participate next time during the new moon. Also, I think it would be more enjoyable to have some basic knowledge about the stars before joining this tour.
今回は半月であったがかなり空が明るかったため星空効果も半減。次回は新月の時に参加したい。あと参加する前に予備知識として少しは星空のことを理解していたほうがこのツアーはさらに楽しめると思います。
I took a nap and joined while rubbing my sleepy eyes in the middle of the night, but it was really great! Next time, I definitely want to participate with my girlfriend and family.
仮眠をとり夜中に眠い目を擦りながら参加しましたが、
めちゃ良かったです!
次は彼女や家族と是非参加させてもらいたいです。
Thank you for your help at such a late hour! I look forward to seeing you again next time! (^^)
遅い時間帯にありがとうございました!
ぜひぜひ次回もお待ちしておりますね(^^)
Since it was sunny during the day, I decided to join on a whim while traveling. Even if you rent a car, there is a shuttle fee, but I think it's better to use the shuttle bus (the road to the venue is dark, and the event ends late).
The guide shares a lot of interesting stories, so you can enjoy it even if you're not knowledgeable about constellations. They also lend binoculars, which I recommend for those who want to see the Milky Way.
It was a half moon on the day I participated, so it was a bit disappointing that the moonlight was bright, but I was able to relax a lot. Next time, I want to join on a new moon or during a meteor shower.
昼間が晴れていたので旅行中に急遽参加を決めました。
レンタカーを借りていたとしても、送迎料金はかかりますが送迎バスを利用した方が良いと思います。(会場までの道は暗く、終わる時間も遅めなので)
ガイドの方がかなり色んなお話をしていただけるので、星座に詳しくなくても楽しめます。双眼鏡も貸して頂けるので天の川などみたい方にはオススメです。
参加した日半月でしたので、ちょっと月明かりが明るかったのが残念でしたがとてもリラックスできました。
次は新月の日や流星群が起こる日に参加してみたいな。
It was disappointing that there was no consideration for my family, who have difficulty walking and move slowly. There were no available seats, so we couldn't sit together.
家族が足が悪く、歩くのが遅かったのだが、そこに配慮がなく残念だった。
座席が余ってなくて、連れ同士で並んで座ることができなかった。
I arrived earlier than planned, but I was guided right away. The weather was nice, and I could see many stars with the naked eye. I was also shown the photos taken on-site, and I was amazed by the number and beauty of the stars! I requested a feather art piece, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out! The gentleman was very friendly and explained, "This is the Milky Way," allowing me to see a night sky that I usually can't experience, creating wonderful memories! I would love to request this again when I visit Miyako Island!
予定より早くついてしまいましたが、すぐ案内して頂きました。
天気も良く肉眼でもたくさんの星が見れましたが、その場で撮った写真も見せていただき、星の多さ、綺麗さに感動しました!
羽のアートもお願いしたのですが、どんな感じになっているか出来上がりが楽しみです!
お兄さんもとても気さくな方で、これが天の川で〜と説明もしていただき、普段見れない星空を見ることができ良い思い出になりました!
また宮古島に行った際はお願いしたいです!
Thank you for participating in the tour! I think the starry sky, like in a planetarium, is something you don't get to see often, so please come back to visit us again! 😊
ツアー参加していただきありがとうございました!
プラネタリウムみたいな星空は普段中々見れないと思うのでぜひまた遊びに来てくださいね(^^)
We participated as a couple. Five years ago, we were moved by the stars in Miyako and wanted to capture the moment in photos, but at that time, there were no photo tours available. This time, we learned about the photo tour and signed up. The shooting lasts about 20 to 30 minutes. The location is very dark, so it might be a bit unsettling for first-timers, but once you get to the parking lot, you'll see cars parked, so it's all good!
夫婦で参加しました。
5年前に宮古で星を見て感動
写真に残したいと思いましたが
当時はフォトツアーもなく
今回フォトツアーを知って申込ました。
撮影は20分から30分程
場所は真っ暗なので初めての方は不安かもしれませんが駐車場まで行くと車が止まってるので大丈夫です!
Thank you for participating in the tour!
The starry sky in Miyako Island on a clear day is amazing, just like a planetarium!
I think it's hard to find a place in Japan where the Milky Way is so vividly visible!
Please come back to Miyako Island to see the stars again!
ツアー参加して頂きありがとうございます!
晴れた時の宮古島の星空はプラネタリウムみたいで凄いですよね♪
こんなに天の川がくっきり映るところは日本で探しても中々ないと思います!
ぜひまた星空見に宮古島遊び来てくださいね(^ ^)
I could see the Milky Way and some stars, but I wish I could have gone further out to a place where the light from the land wouldn't reach, or at least to a spot with less light pollution.
天の川も見えて、それなりに星は見えたのですが、もっと沖に出て陸地の光が届かないところまでとはいかなくても、もっと影響が少ないところまで出て欲しかったな、という感じです。
The stargazing tour in Ishigaki Island was amazing. The weather was great, and we could see the Milky Way clearly, along with many shooting stars. I want to participate again.
石垣島での星空観賞ツアー、最高でした
天気も良く、天の川もはっきり見れて、流れ星もたくさん見れました。
また参加したいです。
The day arrived with a lot of anticipation, especially since there was a rain forecast the day before.
Since it's Miyako Island, the stars are beautiful no matter where you look, but the spot where we took photos felt exceptionally stunning! The Milky Way, which was not visible near the hotel, was clearly visible, and we were able to see shooting stars right away.
The staff were very kind, sharing recommendations for spots on the island and suggesting great poses for the photos.
At first, I thought they might be adding wings to the photos later on...
But during the shoot, they used a penlight to draw in the air right there, and we took the photos together.
Wait, can you really create beautiful wings like that!?
I was surprised, but when I saw the photos, I was extremely satisfied and even more amazed.
While the weather can vary from good to bad, and the location can be a bit tricky to find, I highly recommend it!
前日雨予報もあり、かなりソワソワしながら当日を迎えました。
宮古島なのでどこで星をみても綺麗なんですが、撮ってもらう場所はダントツで綺麗に感じました!
ホテル付近では見えない天の川がしっかりと見え、流れ星もすぐみる事ができました。
スタッフさんもとても親切で、島のオススメスポットを教えて下さったり、オススメポーズを指示して下さいました。
写真に羽を後から書いているのかなーと初めは思っていたのですが、、、
撮影してる時にペンライトを使ってその場で宙に書いて、一緒に撮影して下さいました。
え、そんなので綺麗な羽が出来るの!?
と、驚きましたが、写真を見てとても満足のいくもので更に驚きました。
天候によって良い日悪い日があるのと、場所が少しわかりづらいですが、大変オススメです!
The filming location is a spot in Miyako Island where the stars can be seen beautifully, so please keep it a secret! Haha.
There are still many fun spots in Miyako Island, so please come and visit again!
Thank you! (^ ^)
撮影場所は宮古島の中でも星が綺麗に見えるポイントなので秘密にしておいてくださいね♪笑
まだまだ楽しいスポットが宮古島にはたくさんあるのでぜひまた遊びに来てください!
ありがとうございました(^ ^)
On the first day of the trip, it was cloudy and the stars were not visible, so the event was canceled with the announcement, "It doesn't seem like we'll be able to see anything if we wait like this." They provided some explanations along the way, but they refunded the full amount. The next day, the weather looked promising, so I signed up again! The weather held up until the evening, and I was able to see the Milky Way! My husband loves stars, but I'm not very knowledgeable about them, so I was a bit anxious. However, they used a laser to explain the stars, which made it easy to understand! I saw Saturn through a telescope for the first time, and it was very moving!
旅行の1日目は曇で星が見えず「このまま待っていても見えそうに無いので」という案内で中止になってしまいました。途中まで説明もしてくれたけれど全額返金してくれました。
翌日、天気が良さそうだったので再度申し込みをしました!夜まで天気がもってくれて天の川も見れました!主人が星が好きですが私は詳しくないので、どうなのか不安もありましたがレーザーを使って星の説明をしてくれたので分かりやすかったです!初めて望遠鏡で土星をみましたがとても感動しました!
I made a reservation for the starry sky photo experience without fully understanding it, so I felt a bit anxious on the day of the event. When I arrived at the site, I was greeted by a breathtaking starry sky that was beyond words, and the kind staff made me feel at ease. The shot I took with the Milky Way, which I had longed for, became a lifelong memory. When I communicated the image I wanted, the photographer captured it just as I envisioned. This photo features us as silhouettes with the Milky Way prominently displayed. That day, it became the best photo that could only be taken there. I am truly grateful to the wonderful staff.
星空フォトをよく分からないまま予約をしてしまい少し不安なまま当日を迎えました。
現地について涙が出そうなほど、言葉では表せないほどの星空と、優しいスタッフの方が迎えてくれて安心しました。念願の天の川とのショットが一生の記念になりました。撮りたいイメージを伝えるとカメラマンの方がイメージ通り撮ってくれました。この写真は、2人はシルエットで天の川をドーンと写してほしいと言ったものです。その日、そこでしか絶対撮影出来ない最高の写真になりました。素敵なスタッフの方たちにも、本当に感謝です。
Thank you for the souvenir! Please come back to Miyako Island again and suggest new poses! All of our staff are looking forward to it. 😊
こちらこそお土産まで頂いてしまいありがとうございました!
ぜひまた宮古島来た際は新たなポーズ提案しに来てくださいね!
スタッフ一同お待ちしております(^ ^)
I participated hoping for a perfect starry sky, but unfortunately, it was cloudy. I could see a few stars here and there, but it was at a level where the night sky from my home might be prettier. It was far from the photos in the guidebook, and I can only express my disappointment.
満点の星空を期待して参加したのですが、あいにくの曇り空☁️少しの星が見えたり見えなくなったりで、家から見る夜空の方が綺麗かも⁈というレベルでした。ガイドブックに載っていた写真とは程遠く、残念の一言しかありません。
