All Reviews for Stargazing

It was disappointing that the starry sky was cloudy, but I was glad to see the coconut crab, frog, and brown hawk owl. On the way to the tour, I happened to encounter an Iriomote cat. I'm so thrilled!

星空は曇りの為残念でしたが、ヤシガニ、カエル、コノハズクにあえて良かったです。ツアーに向かってる途中で偶然イリオモテヤマネコに会えました。
感激です〜！！

The coconut crab was much larger than I imagined and had a big impact! I unexpectedly encountered an Iriomote cat along the way! The nighttime jungle tour was a valuable experience and a lot of fun!

やしがにが想像以上に大きくてインパクト大でした！！
まさかのイリオモテヤマネコにも道中遭遇！
夜中のジャングルツアーは貴重な体験で楽しかったです！

The guide was really great at searching for the coconut crab, and I was able to see it safely!

Thank you so much!

ガイドのお兄さんが、ヤシガニをすごく探して下さって、無事見ることができました！

本当にありがとうございました〜

This is my second time participating. Despite the title claiming stargazing, it has been mostly cloudy or rainy during this season... If that's the case, please remove it from the title. Naturally, we couldn't see the stars. I understand it's wild animals, so it's unavoidable, but we didn't see the coconut crab this time either. The tour guide was quite indifferent, saying, "Shall we go home then?" After that, I was able to see the coconut crab at an aquarium on the main island, so I guess that's good enough... I don't think I'll participate again.

2回目の参加です。
表題に星空鑑賞と謳っている割にはこの時期は曇か雨ばっかりなんですと…だったら表題から削除してください。当然星空見れず。
野生動物だから仕方ないのはわかっていますが今回もヤシガニも見れず。
添乗員も「じゃあ帰りますか」と淡々としていました。
その後本島の水族館でヤシガニ見れたのでもうそれでいいかな…
次はない

I arrived in Miyako Island without any plans, but once I got here, I found so many fun activities, and the night tour was particularly appealing, so I decided to join. I was a bit worried about the night tour since I have a 5-year-old child, but the guide was very kind, and I felt safe throughout the experience. I was thrilled to find a coconut crab myself! I also felt very lucky to see the rare Ryukyu Scops Owl. The guide shared a lot of knowledge, and I could feel his love for the island and its creatures. He explained things to the kids in a clear and gentle manner, and after returning home, my child was able to share things like, "This leaf makes you itchy if you touch it," and "Coconut crabs can pinch you, so you have to be careful." It made me very happy to see how much they absorbed.

There was also great aftercare, as the guide recommended some restaurants, and we actually went to one of them. It was delicious and had a nice, local vibe that I really enjoyed. Since I plan to stay a bit longer, I’m looking forward to trying more of the recommended places! Thank you for the wonderful tour!

はじめましての宮古島で何も予定を立てずに来てしまいましたが来てみたら楽しそうなアクティビティが沢山ありその中でナイトツアーが特に魅力的でしたので参加させていただきました。
5歳の子供がいるので夜のツアーは少し不安でしたがガイドのお兄さんもとても優しく、安全面も満足いく物でした。
見たかったヤシガニも自分で見つける事が出来て興奮しました！
また滅多に見れないリュウキュウコノハズクも見れたのでとてもラッキーでした。
ガイドのお兄さんは色んな知識を教えてくれて島への愛、生き物への愛が感じられました。また、子供達への説明もわかりやすく丁寧にしてくれた為、帰ってきてからも「この葉っぱは触るとかゆくなっちゃうんだよね」とか「ヤシガニは挟まれたら危ないんだよね」とか、本人なりにいろいろと吸収出来たようでとても嬉しく思います。
ツアー後にオススメのお店など教えてくれるアフターケアもあり、実際に食べに行きましたがとても美味しくてちょっと通な感じのお店でとても気に入りました。もう少し滞在する予定なので引き続きオススメのお店に行ってみようと思います！
楽しいツアーをありがとうございました！

On January 1st, we participated in a stargazing and night safari tour. A couple in their 40s, along with our 4 and 7-year-old boys, and a grandmother in her 60s joined the tour. The journey from the meeting point to the location took about 30 minutes, and it flew by thanks to our guide's entertaining stories. Although it was drizzling and we couldn't see the stars, we encountered various creatures like hermit crabs, coconut crabs, and snakes. Both the kids and adults were very satisfied. We would like to join again during a warmer season. Thank you very much.

1/1元旦、星空鑑賞&ナイトサファリツアー。
40代夫婦と4歳7歳の男子、60代のおばあちゃんと参加させて頂きました。
集合場所から現地まで30分程度、ガイドさんの楽しい話であっという間。現地は小雨模様、残念ながら星空は見えませんでしたが、ヤドカリやらヤシガニやらヘビやらイロイロな生き物に出会えました。子供も大人も大満足でした。
次回は暖かい時期に参加したいです。
ありがとうございました。

I was taken on a tour despite the possibility that we might not see many animals. In fact, I discovered many endemic species and was truly moved! Thank you very much! I had a great time!

あまり生物が見られないかも知れないという中、ツアーに連れていって下さいました。実際、沢山の固有種を発見し、感動しました！本当にありがとうございました！とても楽しませていただきました！

I was scheduled to participate on December 30, but due to bad weather, I tried to change it to January 1, and they kindly accepted my request. Furthermore, when I realized that January 1 would also have bad weather and requested to cancel, they accepted that as well and even said, "Please consider us again next time."

I understand that for the service provider, accepting a cancellation after a change is not a pleasant situation. Even though it’s understandable for customers to feel frustrated, they graciously accepted my cancellation.

I can only assume that if I had participated, I would have enjoyed a wonderful service. I apologize for the cancellation.

12/30に参加予定も悪天候で1/1に変更しようとした時も快く受け入れていただけました。
さらに1/1も悪天候な事がわかり、キャンセルを申し入れたところそれも受け入れていただき、さらに「またの機会にお願いします」とも言っていただけました。
催行会社的には変更の上のキャンセルで気分の良いものではないのはわかります。一言愚痴ぐらい言いたくなる顧客の行動なのに気持ちよくキャンセルを受け入れてくださいました。
おそらくなのですが、参加していれば楽しいサービスが受けられたかと推察します。
キャンセル申し訳ありませんでした。

I encountered plants, insects, crabs, and even wild boars that I had never seen before, and it was quite enjoyable even for an adult. It was cloudy, so I couldn't see the stars, but I would like to come back to Ishigaki to see them next time. I participated on New Year's Eve, and it turned out to be a great experience to end the year. Thank you very much.

見たことない植物、虫、カニ、イノシシまで出会えて、大人でも結構楽しかったです。曇っていて星が見えなかったので、今度また星を見るために石垣に来たいと思います。大晦日の参加でしたが、年越し最後に良い経験になりました。ありがとうございました。

As we made our way through the dark jungle, relying on the light of our flashlights, we discovered frogs, lizards, crabs, and even coconut crabs on the beach... and we spotted a rare wild boar on the road!

Everyone in the tour worked together, and we were able to see many creatures from the Yaeyama Islands.

Our knowledgeable guide shared a lot of information, so even though it was cloudy and we couldn't see the stars, we had a great time.

I highly recommend this for adventure and nature lovers!

ライトの灯りを頼りに暗いジャングルを進むと、カエル、トカゲ、カニ、ビーチではヤシガニを発見‥車道にはレアなイノシシも！
ツアー参加者みんなで協力して、たくさんの八重山の生き物たちに会えました♪

知識豊富なガイドさんがいろいろ教えてくれるので、曇っていて星が見えなくても、充分楽しめました。

冒険&自然好きの方にオススメです！

Thank you for your assistance on December 19.

On the day, I was wondering if the event could proceed due to the clouds, but I felt reassured when you kindly informed me about the situation over the phone in advance.

My daughter, who is 7 years old and afraid of the dark, kept saying she wanted to go back to the hotel until it started. However, the staff spoke to her in a friendly manner, and once the shooting began, she was happily posing for the photos.

The poses you suggested were also spot on, and even a child could understand them well.

I heard that there are few sunny days in December, but you managed to capture beautiful photos by taking advantage of the breaks in the clouds, and I was very satisfied with the results.

The data was also sent the next day, making for a very good experience.

Thank you very much.

12月19日におせわになりました。
当日、雲がかかっていて催行可能かどうか〜？と思っていたのですが、事前に丁寧に電話で様子を知らせて頂けて安心しました。

娘が7歳で暗闇を怖がって、始まるまで今すぐホテルに帰りたいと言っていたのですが、スタッフの方がフレンドリーに上手にお話ししてくださって、撮影が始まったら、楽しそうにポーズをとっていました。

また、指示してくださったポーズも的確で、子供でもきちんと理解していました。

12月は晴れる日が少ないとのことでしたが、雲の切れ間を狙って美しい写真に仕上げてもらえてとても満足できる仕上がりになりました。

データも翌日に送っていただけ、とても良い体験が出来ました。

ありがとうございました。

It was amazing!
The weather, which I was worried about, turned out to be a clear sky full of stars.
I was able to see many stars, including some that I can't see in Tohoku.
They also shared wonderful stories about Ishigaki Island related to the stars, making it a truly enjoyable and fantastic time.
I appreciate the two tour guides who were very kind and considerate, even though we arrived quite early.
The breathtaking starry sky and the fun stories made the hour fly by.

最高でした！
不安だった天気も、気づけば満天の星空でした。
数々の星、また東北では見ることのできない星も見ることが出來ました。
星にまつわる石垣島のお話もして下さり、とてもとてもそれは楽しい素晴らしい時間でした。
ツアーのお二人のお兄様方も、大分早く着いてしまったのに、優しくお気遣い頂いて感謝です。
感動の星空と楽しいお話し、あっという間の1時間でした。

I was drawn to the Jungle Night Tour and signed up. Although it wasn't raining, the weather was unfortunately not great... Sadly, we couldn't see the starry sky, but I had a great time encountering the unique plants and creatures of the Yaeyama Islands.

ジャングルナイトツアーにひかれて申し込みました。雨は降っていませんでしたがあいにくのお天気…残念ながら星空は見えませんでしたが八重山諸島ならではの植物や生物に出会えて楽しい思い出が出来ました。

After the wedding ceremony in Miyako Island, we requested a night photo tour as a keepsake. While enjoying the truly beautiful starry sky with our own eyes, we were able to use various props for the shoot, and it was a fun experience✨

I'm really glad we decided to capture our memories in photos! Thank you very much!

宮古島挙式後、記念に
ナイトフォトツアーをお願いしました
肉眼で、本当に綺麗な星空をみながら
撮影のためのグッズも使わせて頂き、
楽しく撮影いただきました✨

思い出を写真に残すことができ
お願いして本当によかったです！
ありがとうございました

I found a night tour around 4 PM when I didn't want to waste the evening after another tour ended! The tour itself was short, but it wasn't a very well-organized tour, so I hurriedly made a reservation on the same day.

The young and energetic guide was very enthusiastic and made everyone laugh, which was a lot of fun. We were able to find some snakes and crabs that are usually hard to see, which was really exciting!

Unfortunately, I couldn't see the stars on the day I went, but instead, I was able to see fireflies!! Super lucky!

I recommend this for those who want to make good use of their evening time or for families with children!

午後4時ぐらいに他のツアー終わって夜の時間を無駄に使いたくなかった時見つけたナイトツアー！！ツアー自体に時間は短かったが、あまりよくできるツアーではなかったので急いで当日に予約のお決まり★

若くて元気なガイドのお姉さん、やる気満々で凄くいい感じでみんなを笑わせて楽しかった。普通には見ることがなかなかできない蛇やカニなど結構見つけられて嬉しさ上々★

私が行った日は残念ながら星を見られなかったが、代わりに蛍みることできた！！超ーラッキー

夜の時間を上手く使いたい人や子供を持ってるおご家族におススメ★

I wanted to fully enjoy Ishigaki Island until night, so I signed up for this tour. I was glad to see creatures like fireflies and coconut crabs that are not often seen. The explanations were also very easy to understand and enjoyable.

石垣島を夜まで満喫したいと思いこちらのツアーを申込みました。ホタルやヤシガニなどあまり見ることができない生き物を見ることができて良かったです。解説も非常にわかりやすく楽しかったです。

Unfortunately, the cloudy sky meant we couldn't see the stars at all, but I was very satisfied to see four coconut crabs, fireflies (larvae??), and stalactites! I especially couldn't find the coconut crabs at all, so when I finally did, I was truly moved!

あいにくの曇り空で、星空は全然見れなかったですが、ヤシガニ4匹と蛍(の幼虫？？)、鍾乳石が見れて大満足でした！！
とくにヤシガニは全然見つけられなくて、、見つけた時は本当に感動でした〜

The weather was bad during my stay, but the night of my visit it cleared up, and I saw the best starry sky! After that, I had fun exploring for creatures along the seaside at night.

滞在中天気が悪かったのですが、当日夜は晴れ、最高の星空が見えました！その後で、夜の海沿いで生き物探し、冒険楽しかったです。

First of all, the starry sky was wonderful. Also, the enthusiasm and information from the cute guide about the flora and fauna of Iriomote Island made the jungle experience so much more enjoyable!

まず、満天の星がよかったです。また、かわいいお姉さんの西表島の動植物に対する熱と情報でジャングルも何倍も楽しめました！

I applied for this experience because I wanted to see the starry sky at night while traveling alone. In a place without streetlights, I was able to see stars that are not visible in the city, with a full 180-degree view. I even spotted a few shooting stars. The guide was friendly and made the experience enjoyable, allowing us to spend precious time together. Since we met at the location and there weren't many landmarks or streetlights, I think it would be easier to find if there were signs or markers set up.

ひとり旅で夜の満天の星空に見たいなと思い申し込みました
都会では見えない星も街灯のない場所では180度全て見るとこができました
流れ星もちらほら
ガイドの方も気さくで楽しく貴重な時間が過ごせました
現地集合であったのと、街灯もなく目印もあまりなかったので、看板等たてていただけると行きやすいかなとは思いました

During my stay, I was worried because the weather wasn't great, but it cleared up in the afternoon, and if I looked closely, I could even see the Milky Way without the moon. The other stars were beautiful as well, which was fantastic. The only disappointing part was that I couldn't spot the shooting stars that others seemed to have seen, and the wind was really strong. However, sailing on the night sea was a valuable experience, and I enjoyed it.

滞在中天候に恵まれず不安でしたが、その日の午後から晴れ、月もなく良く目をこらせば天の川も確認できました。その他の星達も綺麗に見えて最高でした。残念だったのは、他の方は見たらしい流れ星を見つけられなかった事と風が凄かった事かな。でも夜の海の航海は貴重な体験で良かったです

I got to see coconut crabs, firefly larvae, and the starry sky. I was shown many creatures and plants, including crabs and camel crickets. The tour guide was kind, and it was really great! My first-grade son was extremely happy!

ヤシガニや、ホタルの幼虫、星空。
蟹やカマドウマ？沢山の生き物や植物を見せて貰いました。
ツアーの人も優しくてとっても良かったです！
小1男の子が、めちゃくちゃ喜びました〜！

It was close to a full moon, so I focused more on photographing the moon rather than the stars. Thick clouds were covering the sky, and it was touch and go whether we could take photos, but we waited together for about 30 minutes until the clouds cleared, and I was able to get some great shots! I was able to take as many photos as I wanted. The photo data arrived the next day, and I was very satisfied with the results. I definitely want to experience this again for my travel memories next time!

満月に近づいている時だったので、星というよりは月をメインで撮影してもらいました。分厚い雲がかかってしまい、撮影できるかギリギリなところでしたが、雲流れていくまで30分程度も一緒に待っていただいたことで、無事写真をとってもらう事が出来ました！満足いくまで写真を撮っていただきました。写真のデータも次の日すぐに届き、出来上がりもとっても満足するものになりました。
次回もまた旅行の思い出に、体験したいと思います！

I wanted to take photos both with two people and a solo version, and they kindly agreed to my requests. They took a lot of pictures and suggested poses that worked well, making it easy for me. They also carefully filmed multiple times to create a story for the video, and the finished photos were sent to me later. They were so beautiful that I was extremely satisfied. Thank you! 😊

2人でも撮りたいし、1人バージョンも取りたいとわがままを言ったところ快く引き受けてくださりました。沢山写真も撮って頂いて、ポーズもこういうのがいいんじゃないかなと言っていただいてやりやすかったです♡動画もストーリーができるように何回も丁寧に撮って頂いて完成した写真が後日送られてきたのですが綺麗すぎて大満足でした。ありがとうございます☺️

We came to Miyako Island for our honeymoon, and I thought it would be nice to have some memorable photos, so we joined this optional tour. The night sky in Miyako Island was very beautiful, and we were able to take wonderful night photos with the stars and the moon! My wife was also very happy, which was great!

新婚旅行で宮古島に来たので、何か思い出に残る写真があれば良いなと思い、このオプションツアーに参加しました。宮古島の夜空はとても綺麗で、星や月とともに素敵なナイトフォトを撮ってもらいました！
妻も大変喜んでくれて、良かったです！

Just before the typhoon, ocean activities were uncertain... I made a reservation, thinking I could still make it even if I signed up in the evening! On the day of the event, they kindly explained that the weather might make it difficult to see the stars and confirmed whether I still wanted to participate.

To be honest, due to the timing, the moon was too bright, so it wasn't a perfect starry sky! However, I was satisfied as I could enjoy moonbathing and saw some stars when the clouds cleared. It was also my first time seeing the moon's patterns clearly through binoculars, which I personally found enjoyable! I was worried about mosquitoes and bugs, but it turns out there weren't many at all. I definitely want to participate again on a clear day!

台風直前で海のアクティビティが危うい…夕方申込でも間に合う！と予約をしました。
当日は到着して天候や星空が見えにくい可能性があることも丁寧に説明していただき、その上で参加されるかどうか確認がありました。
結果から言うと時期的に月が眩し過ぎて満点の星空！ではありませんでしたが月光浴が出来たり、雲がはけたタイミングで星が見えたりと満足でした。双眼鏡でくっきりと月の模様を見たのも初めてだったので個人的には楽しかったです！蚊や虫が不安でした意外といないそうです。次は快晴の時にぜひ参加したいです。

I had wanted to try this for a long time, and it was even more beautiful and fun than I had imagined! The LED lights were cute too! I really appreciated the precise posing instructions. Thank you! ✨

以前から１度してみたかったのですが、想像していた以上に綺麗で楽しく、LEDも可愛かったです！
ポージングも的確に指示して頂き助かりました。ありがとうございました✨

I was moved by the starry sky! The stories about the stars and constellations were fascinating, and I wanted to hear more and more. It's fun to recognize the shapes of the constellations! Thank you for a wonderful time!

満天の星空に感動しました❗️星や星座のお話も興味深く、もっともっと聞きたかったです。星座の形がわかると楽しいですね！素敵な時間をありがとうございました❗

I was lucky to see many stars! I was also moved by seeing the Milky Way for the first time in my life! I got to see many coconut crabs too! During the journey, we talked about various things, and I really enjoyed Iriomote Island! Thank you very much!

運良く星も沢山見れて！人生初の天の川にも感動しました！
ヤシガニも沢山見れました！
移動中も色々な話をしてくださり、西表島楽しめました！ありがとうございました

There were a few clouds, and cancellations were possible, but we headed to the site. Upon arrival, the guide explained, "There are clouds in that direction, and given the current situation, there is a possibility that clouds may come from there." They kindly confirmed with us, "Will you participate?"

During our stay in Ishigaki Island, we experienced the rapidly changing weather, so we decided to go ahead with the tour. The children's cheers when they sat in the reclining chairs (one in middle school and one in fourth grade) were amazing! They were so excited!

After that, there were indeed times when clouds obscured the stars, but the guide provided explanations about the visible stars, and before we knew it, time flew by. In the end, we were able to see a perfectly clear starry sky without a single cloud. I highly recommend the stargazing tour!

雲が少しあり、キャンセルも可能の中、現地へと向かいました。現地に着いてからもガイドの方から、「雲が向こうの方向にあって、今の状況だとあそこから雲が来る可能性があります。」との説明があり、「参加されますか？」と優しく最終確認をしていただきました。
石垣島に滞在している間、天気がコロコロ変わるのを体感していたので、そのままツアーに参加することにしました。リクライニングチェアに座った時の子供たち（中1，小4）の歓声はすごかったです！大興奮でした笑
その後、やはり雲で星が隠れることもありましたが、見えている部分の星の説明をしていただいたりと、あっという間に時間は過ぎ、最後の方は、雲一つない満点の星空を見ることができました。星空ツアーかなりおすすめです！！
