All Reviews for Stargazing

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

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！！

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。

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。

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 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。

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 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。

It was a perfect starry sky, just as the title suggests! I was moved by a sky that I had only seen in a planetarium, and the hour passed by in the blink of an eye!

タイトル通り満点の星空でした！
プラネタリウムでしか見たことがないような星空に感動の1時間であっという間に終わりました！

I participated at the beginning of August. The weather was clear that day, and the starry sky was truly beautiful.

All the surrounding lights were turned off, and sitting in the reclining chair, there was nothing to obstruct the view of the stars. It was great that binoculars were also provided. The staff member spent an hour talking about constellations and planets, and it was incredibly interesting! They used a laser pointer to indicate the stars, which was surprising and made it very easy to understand.

I could see the Milky Way flowing in a dome shape. It really made me feel that Earth is within the galaxy. Additionally, I was able to see shooting stars several times during the explanation. I think it was the most moving moment of my trip to Ishigaki Island. If possible, I would love to visit multiple times throughout the seasons!

The staff were also kind, and I believe that as long as the weather is favorable, it can be an amazing experience. It seems that if the weather is bad, it's possible to change the date, so it might be a good idea to contact them directly if anything comes up.

Lastly, a word of caution! The road to the venue is scary! (laughs) It's dark, there are no streetlights, and driving for several minutes was quite frightening (laughs). I had rented a car and skimped on the transportation fee, but I think it's better for those who are not confident to use the shuttle service.

8月の頭に 参加させていただきました。その日は天気も晴れていて 本当に星空が綺麗でした。

周りの明かりも全て消してくれて
リクライニングシートに座っていると、星空を遮るものは何もありませんでした。双眼鏡も用意されていたのも良かったです。
スタッフのお兄さんが1時間かけて、星座や惑星のお話をしてくださいましたが、とってもとっても面白かったです！レーザーポインター？を使って星を示してくれたので それもびっくりでしたし、大変わかりやすかったです。

天の川がドーム状に流れているのが見えました。地球が銀河の中にいることを強く感じます。
また、解説中何度も流れ星を見ることができました。石垣島旅行で一番感動した時間だったと思います。
できることならば、季節を変えて何度も訪れたい、、！

スタッフの方々も親切でしたし、
天気さえ恵まれれば 最高の体験ができると思います。天気が悪かった場合 日にちを変えることも可能なみたいなので、何かあったら直接連絡を取って見るのが良いのではないでしょうか。

最後に注意点です！
会場までの道が怖い！笑
暗いし、街灯もなくて、車で数十分行くのはかなり怖かったです（笑） レンタカーを借りていたので送迎代をケチってしまったのですが、自信のない方は送迎使ったほうがいいと思います。

I couldn't forget the starry sky I saw during my last visit to Ishigaki Island, so for my second trip, I searched online to see that beautiful starry sky again and booked this starry sky cruise. I was really looking forward to the stars, but unfortunately, a typhoon was approaching, which made me anxious.

The day before, a female staff member called to confirm the meeting time, and I asked if it was still okay with the typhoon approaching. She reassured me, saying, "Even though a typhoon is approaching, it's in Naha, so Ishigaki is fine." I felt relieved as the day arrived.

As the evening approached, the wind started to pick up, and although it wasn't raining, there were some clouds, making me worry about whether we would be able to see the stars. When it was time to gather, I went to the store, and everything went smoothly for departure. As amateurs, we couldn't see anything at the port, but I hoped we would be able to see the stars once we set sail.

However, after moving for a while, we found that there were many Japan Coast Guard boats due to the approaching typhoon, and since we hadn't gone far from the port, the island's lights were still visible, and we could only see about three stars. The sky looked no different from what we could see from the island, and anyone with experience would know that you wouldn't be able to see stars just by going out to sea.

Since we couldn't see any stars at all, the guide seemed to be stalling with trivial chatter. I felt that 7,000 yen was way too expensive for this, and it was just frustrating. I heard that if it wasn't raining, the cruise wouldn't be canceled. If the weather looks bad, I recommend canceling early without hesitation.

The boat was impressive, so it might be worth it if the weather is good. Unfortunately, my last night in Ishigaki Island was ruined.

前回石垣島に来た時に見た星空が忘れられず、今回2回目の石垣島旅行でもう一度あの満点の星空が見たくてネットで探し、こちらの星空クルーズを予約しました。
1番楽しみにしていた星空でしたがあいにく台風が近づいており不安に思っていました。
前日スタッフの女性から集合時間等の確認の電話が入ったので、台風が近づいていますが大丈夫ですか？と伺った所、 「台風が近づいているといっても那覇の方なので石垣は大丈夫ですよ」との事。安心して当日を迎えました。
夕方につれて風が強くなってきており、雨は降ってなかったものの少々雲があり、星が見えるのか心配していました。
集合時間になり店舗へ伺うと何事もなく出発になりました。こちらも素人の為港では全く見えないけれど出航すれば見えるのかと思い期待して船に乗り込みました。
しかし、しばらく動いたものの台風前で海上保安庁の船も多く海上に出ており、港からもさほど離れていない為島の光もあり、3つ程しか星は見えませんでした。
島から見る空と全然変わらず、経験者であれば海に出た所で星が見えない事など分かりきっているはずです。
全く星が見えないのでガイドの方は時間稼ぎなのかどうでもいい雑談ばかり。これで7000円は高すぎてただただ腹立たしかったです。
聞くと雨が降らないと中止にならないとの事。天気が悪そうであれば迷わず早めのキャンセルをオススメします。
船は立派だったので天気が良ければ良いのかもしれません。

石垣島旅行最後の夜が台無しでした。

On the day, there was no moonlight, and the starry sky was magnificent! The staff's explanations were very easy to understand, and I was able to enjoy the summer night sky. I could see the rings of Saturn and shooting stars multiple times... I thoroughly enjoyed the starry sky of Yaeyama. The sanpin tea was also delicious.

当日は月の明かりが無く、そこには満天の星空が！スタッフの方のお話も非常にわかりやすく、夏の星空を楽しむことが出来ました。土星の輪が見えたり、流れ星が何度も…八重山の星空を存分に楽しめました。さんぴん茶も美味しかったです。

I arrived at the meeting point by rental car. The area around the meeting place was dark, making driving a bit tense.

Since I arrived early, I waited in the car for a while, and the staff approached us to move to the observation area. The staff assigned seats according to the number of people, which was helpful and prevented any confusion.

The starry sky was truly beautiful. Not only could we enjoy it with our naked eyes and binoculars, but there was also a telescope that allowed us to see the rings of Saturn. While I think you could see the stars without joining the tour, it was great to have the explanations and the availability of binoculars and a telescope.

レンタカーで現地集合しました。
集合場所付近は暗く、運転は緊張します。

早くついたので、車でしばらく待機し、スタッフの方が声をかけてくれて観察場所まで移動しました。
スタッフの方が一人ひとりに人数に合わせて、席を指定してくれるので
迷うことなくよかったと思います。

星空は本当にきれいで、裸眼と双眼鏡で楽しむだけではなく、望遠鏡もあり、土星の輪も見せてくれました。
星を見るだけであれば、ツアーに参加しなくても見れると思いますが、
説明も聞くことが出来たのと、
双眼鏡＆望遠鏡があるのはよかったと思います。

The day I participated, unfortunately, there was a nearly full moon, and the moonlight was so bright that I couldn't see the Milky Way, but I still had a great time! The guide was very clear in explaining how to find constellations and stars, which was very educational. I think I’ll be able to spot the constellations I learned about in Okinawa when I get home. Not only did we look at constellations, but we also used a telescope to see the rings of Saturn. Even though I knew what Saturn looked like, it was quite a moving experience to actually see it! We were also able to see shooting stars, and I learned about Okinawan culture, making it a very Okinawan experience. Next time, I want to participate during the season when the Southern Cross is visible!

参加した日はあいにくのほぼ満月で、月明かりが明るくて天の川は見えなかったのですが、それでも充分に楽しめました！
ガイドのお兄さんがわかりやすく星座や星の見つけ方を教えてくださり、とても勉強になりました。
家に帰ってからも、沖縄で知った星座を見つけられそうです☆
星座だけではなく、天体望遠鏡を使って、土星の輪っかを見せてくださいました。
土星の姿を知ってはいてもなかなか見ることはできないので、感動しました！
流れ星も見ることができ、沖縄の文化を知ることもできたので、とても沖縄らしい時間でした☆
次回は南十字星が見られる季節に参加したいです(o´∀｀o)

I was worried about whether I would be able to see the stars because there were clouds until the evening, but it cleared up at night! A sky full of stars that you can't see in the city!! It was amazing!!!

夕方まで雲が出ていて　見られるかどうか心配でしたが　夜には晴れ！
都会では見られない　満天の星！！　最高でした！！！

I was able to see many constellations that I usually can't see living in the city. I was most pleased to finally see the Milky Way this year, as it has always been cloudy on Tanabata in the past. It was also great to receive a lecture on how to adjust the focus of the binoculars, which allowed me to see things in more detail.
I felt that the shuttle bus fee was a bit expensive since it was charged separately.

普段町中に住んでいては見ることのできないたくさんの星座を見ることができました。毎年七夕は曇っていたので、今回初めて天の川を見ることができたことが１番嬉しかったです。双眼鏡のピントの合わせ方からレクチャーしていただき、より詳細に見られたのもよかったです。
送迎バス代金が別料金でしたので、料金は少し高いように感じました。

It was cloudy, so it couldn't be helped, but I couldn't see much. The night sky in my hometown might be even more beautiful... But I had a great time as you explained everything so carefully! More than anything, I was impressed by the laser show!

曇っていたので仕方がなかったのですが、あんまり見えませんでした。これなら地元で見る星空の方がもっと綺麗かな...
でも一生懸命丁寧に説明してくださって、楽しかったです＼(^0^)／なによりレイザーに感動しましたw

I have been traveling around the country to see the starry skies, and the explanations about the stars were excellent. I usually don't use binoculars, so being able to see the moon was incredibly satisfying!

星空を全国回ってみていますが、満天の星空に星の解説にとても良かったです。双眼鏡も普段は使わないので月も見れて満足しかないです！！

I was really looking forward to the starry sky, but on the evening of the event, I received a courteous message saying, "There are many clouds, so it might be difficult to see the stars. What would you like to do?" They mentioned that rescheduling for the next day wasn't possible due to full bookings.

I was torn about whether to cancel, but since it seemed like there was a chance to see something if the rain held off, I decided to participate as planned.

In the end, there were indeed many clouds, and I couldn't see a breathtaking starry sky, but I enjoyed hearing trivia about the stars and Ishigaki Island! Mars was very beautiful. I would love to try again someday. By the way, my older child is 8 years old and my younger child is 3. The older one seemed to get a bit bored halfway through since not many stars were visible. The younger one, after a day of sightseeing, was fast asleep and didn't wake up at all.

星空とっても楽しみにしていたのですが、当日の夕方ご丁寧にご連絡頂き「雲が多くて、星空が見えづらいかもしれないのでどうされますか？？」との事。
明日に延期は、予約がいっぱいで出来ませんと仰るので
キャンセルするか迷いに迷ったのですが、雨が降らず運次第で見れるのならばと予約通り参加しました。

結果、やはり雲が多く感動するような星空は見れませんでしたが
星や石垣島のトリビア的な事が聞けて楽しかったです！
火星はとっても綺麗に見えました。いつかリベンジしたいです。
ちなみに上の子8歳、下の子3歳、上の子は星があまり見えなかったせいか少し途中で飽きてしまいました。
下の子は、石垣島到着初日の夜で日中の観光疲れもあり爆睡で一度も起きませんでした。

I will say it in Chinese! I will talk about the good places! Don't worry! It was a really great experience. I came alone to play, but don't worry about being alone; there are countless stars accompanying you, and it's truly beautiful and breathtaking! The staff's explanations were also very good. If you don't understand Japanese, it's okay; you can generally guess what the stars are! It's really great, highly recommended!

中国語で言います！よっかたところをいいます！安心してください！是非常好的一次体验，我是自己一个人来玩，不要担心一个人哦，有满天的星星陪着你，真的超级美，很震撼！工作人员讲解的也很好，不懂日语的话也没关系，大概都可以猜到是什么星星的！非常好，推荐！

The weather was bad, so not a single star was visible. I was really looking forward to it, so it was very disappointing. However, the only good thing was that the staff shared various stories about the stars while we were on the boat, which I enjoyed!

天気が悪かったこともあり、星は一つも見えませんでした。
かなり楽しみにしていたので、とても残念でした。
ただ唯一良かったのは船の中で色々な星の話をスタッフの方が話してくださったので、それは楽しめました！

I was a bit disappointed as I was expecting to see more stars. The moon was too bright, making it difficult to see the stars. However, I did get to see the beautiful full moon on the 15th night. Just as the hour of the tour was passing, both the moon and stars were hidden by clouds, which was a good timing. Each person had a reclining seat with a pair of binoculars, and I was surprised by the penlight. I was also able to see Saturn through the telescope. Next time, I would like to see shooting stars and the Milky Way. It was an emotional time enjoying nature in the clear air. I want to go again.

However, the air conditioning in the pickup car was broken, making it very hot and uncomfortable. I envied those who were able to take a taxi for the same price due to the large number of people. I found it unfair that we had to ride in the same broken car for the round trip, which diminished the enjoyment of the tour. It's a shame.

もっとたくさんの星空を期待していただけにちょっとがっかりでした。
月が明るすぎて星が見えないという体験をしました。
でも１５夜満月というきれいな月が見られました。
ツアーの１時間が過ぎる頃に雲に月も星も隠れるという良いタイミングでした。
リクライニングに双眼鏡が一人に一つありました。ペンライトに驚きました。
望遠鏡で土星を見ることも出来ました。
次は流れ星と天の川をみたいと思いました。澄んだ空気の中で自然を満喫できた感動の時間でした。
もう一度行きたいです。
送り迎えの車のエアコンが壊れていて大変暑く苦しかったです。人数が多く同料金でタクシーでの送迎になった人がうらやましかったです。なぜ往復壊れた同じ車に乗らなければならなかったのか、不公平なところにツアーが半減されました。残念です。

I joined a tour, thinking it was a bit much to pay just over 10,000 yen for a place to see the stars beautifully with my family of four. On the way to the meeting point from the hotel, I was worried because there weren't many stars out, but when we arrived and looked up at the sky, I was greeted by a starry sky like I had never seen in my life.

Even so, I thought about the price, but there were reclining chairs that made it easy to look up at the sky, binoculars were provided, and we got to hear explanations about celestial observations using a laser beam. We even got to see the rings of Jupiter through a telescope, which got my 7-year-old daughter really excited. We could also see the Milky Way clearly.

I had purchased a DSLR for this day, but during the one hour of the tour, anything that glowed was prohibited, so I managed to take some photos in the little time we had after the tour ended and before heading home. It turned out to be a very satisfying tour for the whole family.

星が綺麗に見える場所を教えてもらうだけで、家族4人で10000円ちょっと払うなんて…と思いながらもツアーに参加してきました。
ホテルから集合場所まで向かう途中、星はあまり出ていなかったので不安だったのですが、場所に着いて空を見上げたら、人生で見たことのない星空が広がっていました。
それでも、この値段は…と思ったんですが、空を見上げやすいリクライニングのイスと双眼鏡の用意があり、レーザービームを使った天体観測の説明も聞けて、望遠鏡で木星の輪っかも見せてもらえて、7歳のうちの娘も大興奮でした。天の川もしっかり見れましたよ。
この日の為に一眼レフを購入していたのですが、ツアー中の1時間は光るものは禁止だったので、ツアー終了してから帰るまでの少しの時間でなんとか撮影することもできて、家族で大満足のツアーとなりました。

The night sky in Ishigaki Island was as beautiful as I had imagined. However, there were many moments when the strong night wind made it difficult to hear the guide's voice. Additionally, we were encouraged to hold up our mobile apps, but since everyone around was holding up their screens, the brightness of the screens created an atmosphere that was hard to describe.

石垣島の夜空は思っていた通りキレイでした。ただ、夜風が強くガイドさんの声が聞こえにくシーンが多かったです。
また、携帯アプリを掲げてみるよう促されましたが、
周囲が携帯画面を掲げていたため、画面の光が強く
雰囲気的には何とも言えない感じでした。
