▪︎Mangrove Tour
Since I had experienced mangrove kayaking the day before, I thought the mangrove tour would be redundant. However, the captain's detailed explanations were wonderful! I was able to gain new knowledge, and it was enjoyable.
▪︎Bus Tour
The female driver on the bus tour was also fantastic. While driving, she provided bright and entertaining explanations, keeping us engaged the whole time. We arrived at the next destination in no time. Unfortunately, we didn't see any animals like wild boars. On the way back, there wasn't much talking, but I was impressed by her gentle announcements to comfort a child who was fussing. The child stopped crying, didn't they? (^ -^)
▪︎Yufu Island
I was able to see the elusive flower, Sagarihana! In the area marked "Sagarihana" on the map, it wasn't blooming yet, but a female staff member told me, "You might see it in the butterfly garden!" Perhaps because it was in a greenhouse? Despite being early in mid-June, I was able to see beautiful flowers. Although they had already fallen by noon, I was moved by their beauty. I was also happy to hear that the water buffaloes live peacefully after retirement. I hope they don't overload the water buffalo carts and minimize their burden... Or are they okay with carrying that many people? It would be nice to have an explanation to ease the worries of those like me who might be concerned.
▪︎Lunch Box
It was more delicious than I expected! The fried items were crispy, and the miso soup was warm. I was satisfied with the portion size, but I thought it would be nice if those with smaller appetites could notify in advance about the amount of rice.
▪︎Taketomi Island
Complete free time. First, I boarded a glass-bottom boat. I was able to board without a reservation. The underwater scenery was quite different from Kabira Bay, and I enjoyed that difference. I heard there is an underwater volcano that produces hot springs! I was able to see something rare. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any sea turtles.
Next, I rented a bicycle, but the ground was gravel, which was very scary. I didn't have the luxury to look at the map while pedaling, so I couldn't complete a full loop. I didn't find any particularly nice spots and couldn't enjoy it. Also, when I took a slightly narrower path, there were water buffaloes blocking the road. They didn't seem to be tied up, and while they were cute and relaxed, I started to worry about whether it was okay. I had heard on Yufu Island that water buffaloes dislike being touched and can injure people with their horns, so I was concerned that tourists might unknowingly touch them.
▪︎マングローブ遊覧
前日にマングローブカヤックを体験していたため、マングローブ遊覧は被るなぁと思っていました。が、船長さんの説明が詳しくて素晴らしかったです!また新しい知識を得ることができ、楽しかった。
▪︎バスツアー
バスツアーの女性運転手さんも素晴らしかった。運転しながら、明るく楽しい説明とお話で、少しも飽きさせず。あっという間に次の目的地へ着きました。残念ながら、イノシシなどの動物は見られなかった。帰路は特にお話はなかったが、お子様がぐずったタイミングで優しくフォローするようなアナウンスをされていたことが印象的だった。お子様、泣き止んでいましたね(^-^)
▪︎由布島
幻のお花、サガリバナを見ることができた!マップに書いてある「サガリバナ」エリアではまだ咲いていませんでしたが、スタッフの女性が、「蝶々園なら見られるかも!」と教えて下さった。温室だからか?6月中旬と早い時期にも関わらず、しっかりお花がみられました。すでにお昼頃なので、下に落ちていたものの、美しくて感激した。水牛達は、引退後は穏やかに余生を過ごすと聞けたこともうれしかった。願わくば、水牛車は満員にせず、なるべく負担をかけないであげてください…。もしくは、あれだけたくさんの人を乗せても平気なのか?私のように心配してしまう人もいるので、不要な心配しなくていいよう、ご説明いただけるとうれしい。
▪︎お弁当
期待以上に美味しかった!揚げ物はサクサク、お味噌汁も温かく。ボリュームがあって満足ですが、ご飯の量は少食の方は事前に申告できたらいいなぁと思った。
▪︎竹富島
完全なフリータイム。まずはグラスボートに乗船。予約なしで乗れた。海底の様子が川平湾とだいぶ違っており、その違いを楽しめた。温泉が出る海底火山があるとか!珍しいものを見れた。ウミガメには残念ながら会えず。
次にレンタサイクルを借りたものの、地面が砂利道でとても怖い。自転車を漕ぎながらマップを見る余裕もなく、一周はできなかった。特に良い場所は見つからず、楽しめなかった。また、少し細い道を通ると、水牛が道を塞ぐようにいた。特にロープで繋がれている感じもなく、伸び伸びしていて可愛らしいけど、大丈夫なのか心配になった。水牛は触られるのが苦手で、角でついて人に怪我をさせることがあると由布島で聞いていたため、観光客など、知らずに触ってしまうのではないかと。
▪︎バスについて
毎回なのかはわかりませんが、今回のバスは後方の座席がいくらか広くなっていました。ご参考まで。
また、後方にはお子様が多いため、運転手さんの説明をよく聞くなら、前方がお勧めです。

I was rocked by the water buffalo cart to Yufushima. At that time, it just happened to be high tide, and the water buffalo was submerged up to its face, with the cart also flooded! I hadn't considered such a thing, so it was quite a shock, but it became a wonderful memory.
水牛車に揺られて由布島へ。その日のその時はたまたま満潮で、水牛さんは顔まで水に浸かり、車も床上浸水でした! そんなことまで考えていなかったのでかなりの衝撃、そして良い思い出となりました。
On Taketomi Island, you can rent bicycles and do other activities without a reservation on-site. During the summer, it's essential to take measures against the heat! It's convenient that you can choos

Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island are located very close to Ishigaki Island. These islands offer a different scenery compared to Ishigaki Island. If you're going to Ishigaki Island, I highly recommend participating in an island-hopping tour.

This time, due to favorable weather, it was the perfect night for stargazing. I was able to see satellites and shooting stars, which is something I usually can't experience.

人工衛星や流れ星などを見る事ができました。通常ではとても体験できないものでした。
It is essential to wear clothing that does not expose your skin as you pass through a jungle-like area at night. Specialized shoes will be required, so socks are not necessary.
夜間にジャングルの様な場所を抜けていくので、素肌を晒すことがないような服装が必須です。
シューズや靴下は専用のシューズを履くことになるので、不要でした。

Since it was the year-end and New Year holidays, the shops listed in the guidebook were closed, so I joined a tour.
In Iriomote, I heard stories about the Iriomote cat, and the mangrove cruise offered beautiful views that I wouldn't normally see. In Yufu and Taketomi, I enjoyed sightseeing while riding on a water buffalo cart. I didn't have time to collect star sand to fill a bottle, so I bought some as a souvenir. The gelato at Yufu Island Chaya was also delicious, so I recommend it!
年末年始だったので、ガイドブックに載っているようなお店はお休みだったので、ツアーに参加しました。
西表ではイリオモテヤマネコの話を聞いたり、マングローブ遊覧も普段見ることのない景色が見れて素敵でした。由布・竹富では水牛車に乗り、観光を楽しめました。
星の砂を瓶いっぱいに集める時間がなかったので、そこは購入してお土産に★
由布島茶屋のジェラートも美味しかったので、オススメです!
How you spend your time on Yufu Island can vary. If you want to be active and explore many sights on the island, renting a bicycle is recommended! The attractions are surprisingly far apart.
由布島での過ごし方の選び方で変わってきます。アクティブに島内を移動してたくさん観光したければ、レンタサイクルがオススメです!見どころが意外と遠いです。

The day of the tour was clear and the weather was nice, marking the end of the rainy season. It was hot all day, so choosing a bus tour on Taketomi Island was the right decision. I was healed by Ichirou-kun, the water buffalo on Yubu Island, who walked slowly. The bento box served for lunch was also delicious. The cat at Kaiji Beach was adorable. I'm glad I participated in the tour. Thank you very much.

The mangrove SUP tour in Iriomote Island was a wonderful experience that allowed us to fully enjoy the beauty and tranquility of nature. The guide provided detailed explanations about the ecology of the mangroves and the flora and fauna, which deepened our knowledge. In particular, during the season when the Sagarihana flowers flow, we could enjoy a magical atmosphere.
Additionally, the photos taken during the tour were sent to us later as data, allowing us to preserve our memories. It was the perfect activity to refresh both body and mind in the great outdoors of Iriomote Island. Next time, I would like to try other activities such as waterfall trekking.
西表島のマングローブSUPツアーは、自然の美しさと静けさを存分に味わえる素晴らしい体験でした。ガイドの方がマングローブの生態や動植物について詳しく説明してくださり、知識も深まりました。特に、サガリバナの花が流れてくるシーズンには、幻想的な雰囲気を楽しめるとのことです。
また、ツアー中に撮影していただいた写真も後日データで送ってくださり、思い出を形に残すことができました。西表島の大自然の中で、心身ともにリフレッシュできる最高のアクティビティでした。次回は、滝トレッキングなど他のアクティビティにも挑戦してみたいと思います。

I traveled alone freely and had a great time. Choosing the bus tour on Taketomi Island was the right decision. Even though it was before the rainy season, cycling in the strong midday sun would have been exhausting due to the heat. The bus driver guided us through the village and to the star sand beach, and most importantly, we could cool off once we returned to the bus. I didn't have high expectations for lunch on Yubu Island, but I was completely wrong; it was very delicious. There was also a guide that matched the dishes with explanations, so I was able to learn the names of Ryukyu cuisine and truly enjoy it. The mangrove tour on Iriomote Island coincided with high tide, so we couldn't see the features, but just listening to the guide's many explanations was a valuable experience. Even as a solo traveler, I was able to enjoy talking with local staff, guides, and other participants in the same tour, asking for photos, and there was no time to feel lonely. I think it's great that you can smoothly visit three islands. Considering the ferry fees and various other costs, the tour price is reasonable and offers good value. I recommend it for those who are not into active activities like stand-up paddleboarding or diving while sightseeing in Ishigaki Island.
自由気ままに一人旅での利用でしたが、存分に楽しめました。竹富島では、バス観光を選び正解でした。梅雨入り前ではあっても、日中の強い日差しの中でサイクリングとかは暑さでバテそう…。バスの運転手さんが、集落や星砂浜を案内してくれるし、何よりバス車内に戻れば涼が得られました。由布島のランチは期待していなかったけれど、それは大間違いでとても美味しかったです。そしてお料理と照らし合わせができる案内が用意されていたので、琉球料理の名前もわかり堪能できました。西表島のマングローブの遊覧は、満潮と重なり特徴は見られなかったけれど、ガイドさんのたくさんの解説を聞いたりするだけでも貴重な体験で良かったです。一人でも現地スタッフの方やガイドの方、また同じツアー参加者とお話ししたり、写真をお願いしたりして十分楽しめます。寂しい思いをする暇はありませんでした。スムーズに3島をまわれるのでとても良いと思います。フェリー代とか色々考えるとツアー料金はそこそこしますがお得な内容でした。石垣島観光でサップとかダイビングとかアクティブなことが苦手な方にはお勧めです。
It's obvious, but measures against heat, sunburn, and insects are essential. I didn't feel any shaking, but if you're prone to motion sickness, it's a good idea to take precautions.
当たり前ですが、暑さ対策、日焼け対策、虫除けは必須
揺れとかは感じませんでしたが、乗り物酔いしやすい方は対策されると良いと思います

The highlight of this tour is definitely the "water buffalo cart." It's fascinating to see the water buffalo, which you can't encounter on the mainland, and the explanations about their characteristics were both interesting and informative. The descriptions were detailed and delivered in a humorous way, so I never got bored. The sanshin music and folk songs, as well as the island songs, were also great here.
このツアーの目玉はなんといっても、「水牛車」でしょう。本土ではお目にかかれない水牛、水牛の特徴などの説明が面白くタメになるし、説明もコミカルに詳細説明されていたのであきなかった。
ここでも三線と民謡、島唄がよかったです。

I was able to efficiently tour the remote islands. I'm glad I could explore without wasting time on my first visit. I signed up for the glass boat plan, but it was disappointing that there was a 30-minute gap between the boat's arrival and departure. Other than that, it was fantastic. (The glass boat itself was also amazing.)
離島を効率よく巡れました。
初めて訪れる際に無駄なく巡れてよかったです。
グラスボートプランを申し込みましたが、この時間だけ間が船到着から出港まで30分空いてしまったのが残念です。
それ以外は最高でした。(グラスボート自体も最高でした。)

Although the cloudy sky prevented us from seeing a starry night, it was an incredibly fulfilling night tour that made us forget about it. Watching the sunset and the sky gradually darkening from the river was truly magical.
Paddling through the calm waters in a kayak, we explored the nighttime mangrove forest. The sounds of birds and the sight of bats flying around were exhilarating!
What impressed me the most were the bioluminescent plankton. The shimmering surface of the water felt like we were in another world.
Even without stars, it was a wonderful experience that allowed us to fully appreciate the mysteries of nature. If you visit Iriomote Island, I highly recommend joining this tour!
あいにくの曇り空で満天の星空は見られなかったものの、それを忘れさせてくれるほど充実したナイトツアーでした。
日が沈み、空が徐々に暗くなっていく様子を川の上から眺める時間はとても幻想的。
静かな水面をカヤックで進みながら、夜のマングローブ林を探検。鳥の鳴き声や、コウモリが飛び交う姿が間近に見られて大興奮!
そして、何より感動したのは夜光虫。水面がきらめくその光景はまるで別世界にいるようでした。
星がなくても、十分に自然の神秘を体感できる素晴らしい体験でした。西表島に行くならぜひ参加してほしいツアーです!
Whether you can see the starry sky depends on luck. Even if it's cloudy, it's important not to be disappointed and to enjoy the beauty of nature at night!
星空が見えるかどうかは運次第。曇っていてもがっかりせず、夜の自然そのものを楽しむ気持ちが大切です!
Thank you for participating in the Iriomote Island Mangrove Night Kayak Tour. Although the weather was cloudy, I’m glad it didn’t rain and you were able to enjoy the dark night. The bioluminescent plankton were beautiful. I 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。雨模様でしたが雨が降らず、真っ暗な夜を楽しんでいただけ良かったです。夜光虫がきれいでした。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。

During the boat tour in Iriomote Island, it rained, but we didn't get too wet, and it was amazing! The bus driver provided explanations about Iriomote Island during the ride, so it was enjoyable and never boring. I was surprised by the size of the water buffalo! They were all so cute. My fourth-grade daughter also had a great time. The lunch set was delicious. We stayed on Taketomi Island until the last minute, and the locals were kind. I want to go back again!
西表島の遊覧船の時に雨が降ったので、そんなに濡れる事もなく、サイコーでした☆
移動中のバスも運転手さんが西表島の説明をしてくれて飽きる事もなく楽しかったです
水牛の大きさにビックリ!!
どの子も可愛かったです
小4の娘も楽しんでいました
お昼定食もおいしかったです
ギリギリまで竹富島にいて、島の人たちも優しく、また行きたいです!
I think it really depends on the weather. Depending on the season, rain gear is essential. If it rains, a stroller might be tough on Taketomi Island.
やはりお天気次第かなぁと思います
時期によっては雨具必須です
ベビーカーは雨が降ったら竹富島はキツいかなぁ

I'm glad I was able to experience three islands in one day. I think renting a bicycle for sightseeing in Taketomi Island is essential for anyone who isn't very confident in their physical fitness. Since the time for exploring Iriomote Island was short, I thought it might be fine to just do the water buffalo cart experience from Iriomote to Yufu.
1日で3島体験できて良かったです
竹富島観光にレンタサイクリングは相当体力に自信がある人以外は必須だと思います
西表島の散策時間が短かったため、水牛車体験は、西表→由布だけでもいいかなと思いました
The Yagafu-kan on Taketomi Island near the Taketomi Island Terminal was more enjoyable than I expected, so be sure to check it out while waiting for your boat.
竹富島ターミナル近くの竹富島ゆがふ館が思ったよりも楽しく、船を待つ時間に行ってみてください

My first visit to Ishigaki Island was during the rainy season, but fortunately, it didn't rain and I was able to enjoy sightseeing. The color of the sea is truly different. I was amazed by the mangrove forest during the island-hopping cruise, and I was also impressed by the water buffalo cart for the first time. On Taketomi Island, I was torn between renting a bicycle and taking the bus, but taking the bus turned out to be the right choice. Unfortunately, the stargazing tour that night was canceled due to cloudy skies, which was really disappointing. I accidentally forgot it was the rainy season when planning my trip, but I'm glad it didn't rain and I was able to have a great time.
初めての石垣島、梅雨の時期に行ったのですが、雲空で雨になる事無く、観光できて
良かった。本当に海の色が違う、3島めぐりでクルージングでマングローブの林にビックリ、又初めての水牛車に感激し竹富島では、自電車とバスで悩んでいましたが、バスで回るのが正解でした。到着した夜の星空ツアーが曇り空の為キャンセルとなり本当に残念です。うっかり梅雨の時期を忘れ旅行の日程を組んでしまいましたが
雨にならずとても楽しむ事が出来て良かったです。
Be careful when planning your travel schedule during the rainy season and typhoon season.
梅雨の時期や台風の時期に気を付けて旅行の日程を考えて。

It was a personal tour without a guide, and I had concerns about transfers, but there were signs at each location, allowing for smooth movement without confusion, and I was able to fully enjoy the activities. Unfortunately, I only saw people, water buffalo, crows, and herons! It's a shame that I didn't see any marine or forest wildlife!
添乗者なしの個人ツアーであり乗継などの不安があったが、各所に案内がありスムーズに移動ができ戸惑うことがなくアクティビティを満喫できた。残念な事は人、水牛、カラス、サギしか見ていない!海・森の野生生物は見かけないのが残念!

The mangrove cruise had a guide whose explanations were very easy to understand, allowing us to truly appreciate the beauty of nature. The water buffalo cart ride to Yubu Island was charming, and the water buffalo were very cute. In particular, the water buffalo named Rui was gentle and soothing to be around. We also got to meet a baby water buffalo, which made for a precious experience. The lunch featured local specialties, and it was delicious. It became a wonderful memory.
マングローブクルーズではガイドの方の説明がとても分かりやすく、自然の魅力をじっくり感じることができました。由布島へ渡る水牛車も風情があり、水牛がとても可愛らしかったです。特に、触れ合えた水牛ルイくんはおとなしくて癒されました。子水牛にも出会えて、貴重な時間を過ごせました。昼食には地元の特産品が使われていて、美味しくいただきました。良い思い出になりました。

Iriomote Island reportedly has only two taxis and very few buses, so if you want to go to Yubu Island, the only option is a tour. In my case, I've seen the mangroves on Iriomote Island several times, so I only wanted to go to Yubu Island, but all the tours, including this one, also include the mangroves (laughs). So, once again, I ended up seeing the mangroves for about an hour, but this time there were flowers blooming and many new shoots, which made it a different experience from the usual cruise, and I really enjoyed it. The journey to Yubu Island was also fun as we rode a water buffalo cart while listening to the sound of the sanshin. The lunch was delicious, and the staff treated us very well. It was a tour I would definitely want to take again when I visit Ishigaki Island.
西表島はタクシーが2台しか無いそうでバスもほぼ無いので由布島に行きたい場合はツアーしかありません。私の場合西表島のマングローブは何度か見てるので由布島にだけ行きたかったのですが、こちらのツアーや他のツアーも全てマングローブが入って来ます(笑)なので、今回もまたマングローブを1時間ほど見る羽目になったのですが今回はマングローブにお花が咲いていたり新芽が沢山あったりいつものクルーズとはまた違う表情が見れて楽しかったです。由布島までの道のりも水牛車で三線の音色を聴きながら楽しく過ごしました。お弁当も美味しかったしスタッフの皆さんにも良くして頂きました。また石垣島に来た時は是非お願いしたいツアーでした。

▪︎About the bus
I’m not sure if this is the case every time, but the bus this time had slightly wider seats in the back. Just for your reference.
Also, since there are many children in the back, i
