The guide's explanations were interesting and enjoyable, making for a quick yet content-rich day. I was worried about the restrooms, but there were plenty on the high-speed boat, at the port, and a few others, which was reassuring. We opted for a bus tour on Taketomi Island, and that was the right choice. Since we had to take an unfamiliar boat and there was a lot of moving around from the morning, it allowed us to enjoy without feeling rushed. If I have the chance again, I would like to take my time exploring each island.
ガイドさんの説明が興味深く、楽しいのであっという間の、しかし内容の濃い一日でした。
トイレが心配でしたが高速船内、港や他にもいくつかあり安心でした。
竹富島ではバス観光にしましたが正解でした。朝からなれない船に乗ったり移動が多かったので無理なく楽しめました。
また機会があれば今度は一つ一つの島をゆっくり見てみたい。

It was great that there was no wasted time, and it wasn't a hard schedule either, so I was able to enjoy myself. The river journey in Iriomote Island was a bit disappointing because the water wasn't clear, but it still became a good memory.
無駄な時間がなく、かと言って、ハードなスケジュールでもなく、
楽しめたのは良かったです。
西表島の川旅は、水が綺麗でなく、少しガッカリ
それも含めて良い想い出になりました。
竹富島や由布島は、フリータイムを有効的に使い、

Due to the weather, the tour to Balas Island was canceled, so my daughter and I participated in the mangrove canoe and Yufu Island tour.
In the mangrove canoe, we were overwhelmed by the great nature of Iriomote. There was a lecture at the beginning of the canoeing, and I was able to grasp the technique after paddling a bit. Thank you to Matt-chan for taking so many wonderful photos.
On the bus, we heard a lot about Iriomote Island and learned that its current state is due to the efforts of the local people to protect the great nature.
The water buffalo cart ride to Yufu Island was also a lot of fun! The expression of the young buffalo trying to return to the opposite shore where food was, without letting us off, was so cute.
When we entered the butterfly garden, butterflies came to greet us. The gelato made with butterfly pea and Okinawan salt at the recommended Yufu Island tea house might be the most delicious I've ever had.
Next time, I want to visit with my whole family. I will rely on Pipi-san again then. Thank you very much.
天候の影響でバラス島ツアーは欠航となり、娘と2人でマングローブカヌーと由布島ツアーに参加してきました。
マングローブカヌーでは西表の大自然に圧倒されます。カヌーは最初にレクチャーがあり、少し漕いでいるうちにコツを掴むことができました。担当してくれたまっちゃん、たくさんステキな写真を撮ってくださってありがとうございました。

水牛車で渡る由布島もとても楽しかった!
お腹が空いた若い牛さんが乗車している私たちを降ろす間もなくごはんがある対岸に戻ろうとした時のこちらを伺う表情がとても可愛いかった〜
蝶々園に入ると、出迎えてくれるように蝶々がやってきてくれます。

It was supposed to rain, but surprisingly, the clouds held off. Although it was slower than walking, I applaud the water buffalo for their effort. I encountered a kingfisher in the mangroves, which made for a very enjoyable time. Finally, we visited Taketomi Island. It was full of old-fashioned charm, and I was able to savor the good old days. I would love to come back again.
雨予報でしたが、なんと雲でもってくれました。時間的には、徒歩より遅いですが、水牛のがんばりに、拍手👏。マングローブでは、カワセミに遭遇。ととても楽しい時間でした。最後は、竹富島。昔の雰囲気がいっぱいで、古き良き時代を満喫できました。再度来たいと思います。

It's quite challenging to arrange everything on your own, but being able to leave it all to someone else is really helpful. I highly recommend this for those who want to visit various places and see different sights, even if it's a bit rushed! The transportation to and from the hotel and experience locations is very thorough! The bus driver on Iriomote Island was also very entertaining. I have difficulty walking and used a cane, but they were very considerate about the seating, and I was extremely satisfied.

First of all, the bus driver who guided us around Iriomote Island was very good at explaining things, which was great. The water buffalo cart to Yufu Island was also nice because we could listen to live sanshin music. However, I felt that we had a bit too much free time on Yufu Island itself. After that, we had the Nakama River mangrove tour, but I think it would have been more enjoyable to reverse the order, shorten the time on Yufu Island, and extend the time on Taketomi Island.
先ず、西表島は島内移動バスの運転手さんのガイドは説明が上手く、良かったです。
由布島への水牛車も、三線生歌を聞けて良かったです。
ただ、由布島自体は少し時間を持て余す感じでした。
その後、仲間川マングローブツアーでしたが、順番は逆にして由布島も短くして、

It's a tour that feels rushed. If you're departing from Ishigaki Island and it's your first visit, it will inevitably be a one-day tour. However, if possible, staying overnight on Iriomote Island and

I was struggling to find winter activities, but since I was staying on Iriomote Island, I decided to sign up for a night tour. This was a great decision!
It was a night after a light rain during the day, but the weather cleared up, and we were able to see a starry sky with shooting stars. At the viewing spot recommended by our guide, there was nothing obstructing our view, and it was a very soothing experience.
Then, we went on a night jungle tour. We were able to enjoy seeing coconut crabs, crayfish, and tropical plants, with our guide searching for and explaining them to us. I was also amazed by the guide's extensive knowledge! It was a valuable experience to feel connected to nature.
During the car ride, we were able to learn about life on Iriomote Island, making it a meaningful and enjoyable tour. I highly recommend it to anyone staying on Iriomote Island!
冬の季節のアクティビティに悩んでいたところ、せっかく西表島に泊まるということで、夜のツアーに申し込みました。これが大正解!
日中に小雨が降った夜でしたが、お天気が回復して満天の星空、流れ星も見ることができました。ガイドさんご自身がおすすめされている鑑賞スポットで、視界を遮るものがなく、とても癒される時間、場でした。
そして、夜のジャングルツアー。ヤシガニやザリガニ、南国ならではの植物など、ガイドさんが探して説明してくれて、楽しむことができました。ガイドさんの知識の多さにも驚きました!自然を感じる貴重な経験です。
車の中では西表島の生活のことなども伺うことができ、有意義で楽しいツアーで、西表島で宿泊される方には大変おすすめです!
Thank you for participating in the tour!

It was a relaxing and heartwarming day trip. After arriving at Iriomote Island, the bus driver who took us from the port to Yufu Island entertained us with witty talk, filling the vehicle with laughter and smiles. Additionally, the water buffalo pulling the cart to Yufu Island had names, and we were introduced to their personalities, which was delightful.
On Taketomi Island, there are options for transportation such as rental bicycles and carts, but walking slowly allowed us to make many small discoveries. The sight of the water buffalo cart moving leisurely along the alleys surrounded by coral stone walls and flowers will remain a cherished memory of Taketomi Island.
のんびり、ほっこりできた日帰りツアーでした。
西表島に到着後、港から由布島までの移動でお世話になったバスドライバーの軽妙なトークで、車内は笑いと笑顔で満たされました。また、由布島までのんびりと牛車を引っ張る水牛くんには名前がついており、それぞれの性格まで紹介して頂き、ほっこりしました。
竹富島での移動にはレンタサイクルや牛車などがありますが、徒歩でゆっくり巡ったお陰で沢山の小さな発見がありました。珊瑚の石垣と花に囲まれた路地を歩きながら見た、水牛の牛車がのんびりと移動する様子は、竹富島の良い思い出として心に残りました。
While the world is going cashless, there were situations on the island where cash was necessary. I visited in January, and the temperature difference was over 10°C compared to the mainland, with stron

The main purpose of this trip was to ride the water buffalo cart, and I learned a lot from the explanations about the mangroves. Hearing about the unique natural formation of the subtropics and seeing it right in front of me made for a great experience.

It was pitch dark and hard to see my feet, and I had some worries about strange creatures suddenly appearing, but our guide Yuya was calm and reassuring, which made me feel incredibly safe. We found the eggs of the Japanese tree frog and peeked into the burrows of the land crabs, spending time like elementary school kids coming home from school, which was fun! I love night trekking, so I enjoyed wandering through the forest. It was great when everyone turned off their lights to gaze at the starry sky together. Next time, I want to find the Southern Cross. Thank you for a wonderful time!
真っ暗で足元が見えずらい、変な生き物が急に出てこないかなどの不安要素はありましたが、ガイドのユウヤさんが落ち着いた様子で案内してくれたので安心感が半端なかったです。モリアオガエルの卵を見つけたり、オカガニの巣穴を覗いてみたり、まるで学校帰りの小学生のような時間を過ごせました笑。夜のトレッキングが好きなので楽しく森を散策できました。星空を見る時、皆んなでライトを消して眺める時間があったのが良かったです。今度は南十字星を見つけたいです。素晴らしい時間をありがとうございました。

I had heard that many creatures are hard to find in winter, and true to that announcement (though I wished it weren't true), I didn't encounter the expected wildlife. What I did see was just a small part of a crab when I shone a light deep into a hole. A large and beautifully patterned moth called the Ootomoega fluttered around, occasionally landing on participants. Normally, I would want to swat away a moth, but everyone was captivated by this rare creature. You might think everyone would be disappointed, but that wasn't the case at all. The guide's explanations left a good impression, and we enjoyed the feeling of being part of an exploration team. Most importantly, that day offered a rare view of a starry sky in winter on Iriomote Island. I gazed silently at the countless stars I had never seen before, savoring a special feeling that only those who witnessed it could understand. The starry sky was truly beautiful, so if we could have sat back and enjoyed stargazing at the beach in addition to searching for wildlife, I think it would have been a ★5 experience.
Good photos are hard to come by, but I did capture one of the Ootanawatari, a fern that grows on trees and rocks, which was quite impressive.
冬ということで多くの生物には会えないとは聞いていましたが、このアナウンスを裏切ることなく(裏切ってほしかった)、期待の生物には出会えず。見れたのは……穴の奥の方をライトで照らすと小さなカニの一部。オオトモエガという大きくて美しい柄の蛾がヒラヒラと飛び、時折参加者に止まったり。ふだん蛾が飛んできたら払い除けたくなりますが、貴重な生物にみんなで見入ってしまいました。これではみんなガッカリと思われるでしょうが、そんなことはなく、ガイドさんの説明も好印象で、探検隊気分を楽しませてもらいました。そして、何よりもこの日は冬の西表島では貴重な満点の星空、見たこともない星の数に無言で天を仰ぎ、見た人にしか分からない特別感を満喫しました。星空が本当に綺麗だったので、ビーチでは生物探しだけでなく、ゆっくり座って星空鑑賞できれば、★5だったと思います。
こんな感じで良い写真はなかなか……オオタニワタリという樹木や岩に着生するシダ植物が結構迫力があり、こちらを掲載しました。
It seems that same-day registration is possible, so if you want to see the starry sky, you can decide based on the weather that day. As for clothing, I think wearing a windbreaker would be a good idea
当日の申し込みもできるようですし、星空が見たければ当日の天気で決めても良いのかなと思います。
服装は、ウインドブレーカーを羽織ると良いかなと……トゲトゲの植物もあり結構引っかかります。

I participated in early January. I'm glad I joined the tour. It was truly a great way to experience the Yaeyama Islands. It would have been very difficult for us to explore so many places in such depth on our own. Every part was enjoyable, but the mangrove cruise was particularly impressive; the guide's explanations were very skillful and full of intelligence, making it a great learning experience.
Additionally, on Yubu Island, I learned about the history of pioneering while fighting malaria. On the day of the tour, it was quite windy, and many people were buying and wearing raincoats. Even though it's a southern island, it's essential to prepare for the cold.
The iconic water buffalo carts of Yubu Island had some staff whose communication skills varied, leading to some minor issues. Considering all of this, let's just embrace the experience of sightseeing in the southern islands.
1月上旬に参加。ツアーに参加して良かったです。まさに八重山諸島のいいとこどりです。自分たちではこれほと内容濃く、多くの場所を観光することはとても困難です。どこも楽しかったのですが、マングローブクルーズは、ガイドさんの説明がとても上手かつインテリジェンスにあふれ、大変勉強になりました。

First, we took a ferry to Iriomote Island. We then traveled by bus to the spot where we could ride the water buffalo to Yubu Island. The bus guide was fantastic, and we had a fun time filled with laughter.
Finally, we got to ride the water buffalo to Yubu Island, which was a long-awaited experience. The water buffalo was very cute, and we crossed over to Yubu Island while listening to shamisen music, which made me truly feel that I was in Okinawa.
Yubu Island is quite small, so we were able to do some quick sightseeing.
Next, we took a sightseeing boat to explore the mangroves. Unfortunately, it was raining quite heavily, and the rain cover made it a bit difficult to see.
By the time we arrived at Taketomi Island, the rain and wind were intense, and we couldn't enjoy the island much. Since we had signed up for a free walk plan, there was no guide on-site, and I felt that it was difficult to sightsee in bad weather.
I hear that Taketomi Island has beautiful beaches, so I definitely want to come back when the weather is nice next time!

マングローブのボート散策は案内が丁寧で鳥の飛来などリアルタイムの情報も満載でした。西表島のバスの運転手さんのお話がとても面白く笑い声の絶えないひとときでした。由布島への水牛車ツアーは、三線の音色とそれぞれの牛さんの性格や歩みに癒され、日常の慌ただしさを忘れさせてくれる素敵な体験でした。竹富島は観光スポットを効率よく案内してもらいましたが、もう少しゆっくりできたらいいなと思いました。
If it's your first time on Taketomi Island, I recommend taking a bus tour. You won't have to worry about the weather, and you'll be efficiently guided to the sightseeing spots.
竹富島は初めてならバス観光がオススメ。天候も気にしなくていいし、効率よく観光スポットを案内してもらえます。

Mangrove cruise
Exploring the botanical garden and having lunch by water buffalo cart to Yufu Island
On Taketomi Island, we used a water buffalo cart and rented bicycles
It was an efficient and fulfilling experience.
マングローブクルーズ
由布島まで水牛車にて植物園散策と昼食
竹富島では水牛車とレンタサイクル
効率よく回れて充実した内容でした
I didn't cycle all the way to the Nishi-Sanbashi. I thought it would be easier to go down from Kaiji Beach.
サイクリングは西桟橋までは行きませんでした。カイジ浜から下っていった方が楽だと思いました

The explanation from the boatman and the sound of the sanshin were great.
The time spent exploring the island was also nice and leisurely.
The one-way journey was pleasantly pulled by the ox cart.
船頭さんの説明や三線の歌声も良かったです
島内の廻る時間も余裕があって良かったです
片道の時間も程よく牛車に引かれて良かったです
Be sure to take a photo with the water buffalo.
是非水牛と一緒に写真を撮ってみてください

I used the "Iriomote, Yufu, Taketomi Island, Mangrove Tour + Water Buffalo Cart + Taketomi Island Bus Plan" for my 2-night, 3-day trip to Ishigaki Island. As the reviews suggested, opting for the bus tour on Taketomi Island was a great choice. Thanks to it, I was able to see all the places I wanted to visit efficiently. Additionally, at Hoshizuna Beach, I was able to find star sand, and they even provided bags for me to take some home. I highly recommend it.
2泊3日の石垣島旅行に「西表・由布・竹富島 、マングローブ遊覧+水牛車+竹富島バスプラン」を利用しました。竹富島では口コミの通り、バス観光にして良かったです。お陰で観光したい場所を上手く見ることができましま。また、星砂浜では星の砂を見つける事もでき、持ち帰り用に袋まで配って頂けました。おすすめです。
Even if the weather is bad, there's no need to worry. I recommend a bus plan that allows you to efficiently visit the places you want to see.
万が一、天気が悪くても安心。観光したい場所に上手く回れるバスプランがおすすめ

I was worried until the last minute whether the event would take place due to bad weather, but I was able to participate somehow. Although it was cloudy and close to a full moon, which made it difficult to enjoy the stars, the night mangrove canoeing was a relaxing experience that was very soothing. I was also happy to see a few fireflies! Thank you very much.
天候不良により直前まで決行されるか不安でしたがなんとか参加できました。
曇りと満月に近かったこともあり、星を堪能することは叶いませんでしたが、夜のマングローブカヌーはゆったりとした時間が流れて癒されました。
少しでしたが夜行虫見られたのは嬉しかったです!
ありがとうございました。
Thank you for participating in the Iriomote Island Mangrove Night Kayak Tour. Although we couldn't see the starry sky, we appreciate you enjoying the mangroves and bioluminescent plankton at night. We hope to see you again if the opportunity arises. Thank you!
この度は、西表島マングローブナイトカヤックツアーにご参加いただきありがとうございました。星空は見えなかったですが、夜のマングローブと夜光虫を楽しんでいただきありがとうございました。また機会があればよろしくお願いします。ありがとうございました。

The entire island was fun. The staff who worked hard also left a strong impression on me.
I thought that transportation such as buses and ferries would be guaranteed for everything, but after the last water buffalo tour, I found myself unable to catch the bus to the ferry terminal.
The information stated, "For your return, you can choose from the 15:10, 16:00, or 17:00 departures from Taketomi Port on-site. If you choose 16:00 or 17:00, you will have free time on Taketomi Island! Feel free to explore at your leisure." There were some people who couldn't board and had to walk to the ferry.
If walking is allowed, I would like them to ask what time bus we prefer and confirm the bus. It’s fine for younger people, but I wouldn’t recommend it for the elderly.
I prefer to book local tours because I don't want to feel anxious while traveling.
全島楽しかったです。
一生懸命対応されているスタッフさん達も印象に残りました。
すべてにおいてバスや船等の乗物が約束されていると思っていましたが、
最後の水牛観光後→フェリー乗り場行きのバスが乗れない状態になりました。
案内には、「お帰りは竹富港発15:10・16:00・17:00の便より現地でお選びいただけます。16:00・17:00を選んだ場合は竹富島でフリータイム!散策などご自由にお過ごしください。」
とあります。
乗れず歩いてフェリーに向かう方もいました。
散歩自由なら何時のバスを希望するか聞いて、バスを確定にしてほしいです。
若い方は良いですが、お年寄にはお勧めできないです。
このようなツアーは旅行先で不安になりたくないので、地元のツアーを申し込んでいます。
Dear Poohhei,
Thank you very much for participating in our island tour and for sharing your valuable experience.
We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the island tour and appreciate your warm comments about our staff. However, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the unavailability of the shuttle bus on Taketomi Island. We are truly sorry for any trouble this may have caused.
The tour you booked was scheduled to depart from Taketomi Port at 17:00, but we regret that the information regarding the shuttle bus was not adequately communicated, which may have caused you concern. We are making preparations to ensure that all customers can utilize the shuttle bus, but we deeply reflect on the lack of guidance and clarity provided.
Additionally, we will work on improving our communication to ensure that customers can confidently plan their schedules on Taketomi Island by clearly conveying the specific procedures and shuttle methods in advance.
We take your feedback seriously and will strive to enhance our services moving forward. Thank you once again for your valuable input.
Sincerely,

Visiting Taketomi Island and Yubu Island, it's interesting to effectively use your free time to walk in areas where there aren't many tourists.
