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 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! ♩

Ishigaki Island ADVENTURE PiPi

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!

Iriomote Island ADVENTURE PiPi Macchan (Matsushita), Shogo, and the entire staff.

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! ♩

Ishigaki Island ADVENTURE PiPi

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!

The winter weather on Iriomote Island can be quite changeable, and we completely understand your concerns. 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.

If your first adventure on Iriomote Island was filled with "safety" and "fun," it would be the ultimate reward for our guides! How did the magnificent scenery of the mangroves appear to you both?

We hope you will come back to experience Iriomote Island in a different season next time! The island shows completely different expressions throughout the seasons, which is one of its fascinating aspects. When you visit Ishigaki Island, please come back to enjoy this great nature again.

All of our staff are looking forward to the day we can reunite with you both!

Iriomote Island ADVENTURE PiPi Staff

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

We were truly moved to hear that you had an encounter with sea turtles in such unexpectedly clear waters! The impressive Pumpkin Cave and the relaxing time spent canoeing are indeed special gifts from the nature of Miyako Island.

Your words, "I felt safe throughout the entire experience," are the greatest encouragement for us as guides. We also had a fantastic day with all of you, filled with smiles.

Miyako Island has breathtaking views that change with the seasons, and we hope you will come back to seek more healing and adventure. We look forward to the day we can meet again!

Thank you very much for participating in the tour.

We are delighted to hear that you took advantage of the VELTRA campaign and were able to experience the magnificent nature of Iriomote Island. We hope you enjoyed the overwhelming scale of the mangroves that are unique to Iriomote Island, which is quite different from Ishigaki Island.

On the other hand, we sincerely apologize for any disappointment caused by the changes in activities and the photography on the day of the tour.

Although the weather was clear on that day, we guided you to switch to kayaking based on safety standards related to wind speed and tidal changes, in accordance with our company manual. However, we regret that we could not provide a satisfactory explanation for this decision, which led to feelings of distrust regarding the reasoning behind it. The guides and staff deeply reflect on this matter. Moving forward, we will strive to communicate our criteria for on-site decisions more clearly and ensure sincere responses.

We also apologize for the lack of memorable photos. We understand that many of them had your eyes closed, and we will re-educate our team to ensure that we capture your important moments as professionals, improving both the quantity and quality of the photos to meet your satisfaction.

We take your feedback about our interactions being "business-like" seriously. While we will maintain the reassurance of our manual, we will also work to provide warm hospitality that reflects the island's character.

Next time, we will be fully prepared to ensure you can finally enjoy the long-awaited SUP cruise under a clear sky. Thank you for your valuable feedback.

Sincerely,
The staff at Iriomote Island ADVENTURE PiPi

Thank you very much for participating in the tour!

You both did an amazing job during the thrilling canoe experience in the morning! It was an exciting adventure that made us feel the "harshness of nature," but your positive attitude and enthusiasm truly energized us.

We were also delighted that you listened with interest to our conversations during the移動中 and on the canoe! By learning about the secret of the "only traffic light on the island" and the wisdom of mangroves surviving in harsh environments, such as their "salt tolerance," I hope the real stories of Iriomote Island left a deeper impression on you as you took in the scenery.

In the afternoon, the sky opened up with a beautiful blue, as if to celebrate you both! The time spent feeling the "warmth of nature" on Yubu Island must have resonated even more deeply because of the morning's adventure.

We have many more surprising stories about the island prepared for another season, so please come back to be healed by this rich nature. We look forward to the day we can meet again!

From all of us at Iriomote Island ADVENTURE PiPi.

Thank you so much for joining the tour with your family!

It was truly wonderful to see you paddling with your son from behind. I was really touched by what your mother said, "It reminded me of when he was little." It brought back memories for me as well. The time spent together, working as a team in the great nature of Iriomote Island with your now grown and capable son, was truly an irreplaceable moment. The way you both paddled in sync showed great teamwork!

Please come back for another adventure in the jungles of Iriomote Island with your son as he grows up. I look forward to the day we can meet again!

Thank you so much for joining the tour!

At the end of December, there were many days when the weather wasn't on our side, but on the day of the tour, we were blessed with beautiful sunny weather! I was truly amazed and moved by everyone's luck in hitting a perfect "adventure day"! Paddling across the shimmering water was incredibly refreshing.

I heard it was your first time canoeing, but you quickly grasped the technique and paddled smoothly and powerfully, which was very impressive. Even beginners can truly connect with the tranquility of the mangroves, and it was heartwarming to see your relaxed smiles.

As the seasons change, you'll hear different voices of creatures and see the vibrant greens of Iriomote Island. Whenever you feel like refreshing yourself again, please come back to this great nature! We look forward to the day we can meet again!

From all the guides at Iriomote Island ADVENTURE PiPi

Thank you for participating in the Miyako Island ADVENTURE PiPi tour!

We are delighted that you enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) and snorkeling in the highly transparent waters, even in winter. It was wonderful to hear that you had a stable sea condition for your first SUP experience and that you were able to encounter sea turtles and enjoy underwater photography.
