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!
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!

The ground was muddy from the rain the day before, but I was glad to see the beautiful starry sky. Considering the stargazing plus night tour, the stargazing time was short (about 5 minutes?). It would have been nice to have explanations of the constellations.
前日の雨で足元はぬかるんでいたけど、綺麗に星空が見れて良かった
星空鑑賞+ナイトツアーの割には星空鑑賞の時間が短かった(5分程?)
星座の説明があると良かった
Dear Hiro,
Thank you very much for participating in our tour. We sincerely appreciate your attendance despite the difficult conditions.
We are delighted to hear that you were able to enjoy the beautiful starry sky. However, we apologize for not meeting your expectations regarding the short duration of the stargazing and the lack of constellation explanations.
In the future, we will strive to secure as much stargazing time as possible, depending on the weather and conditions, and we will actively work on improving the tour content to provide information about constellations and celestial bodies.
Thank you for your valuable feedback. We will do our best to offer a more satisfying tour during your next visit to the island.

On the night tour, I was able to see large coconut crabs and frogs clearly. The weather was nice, and the starry sky was breathtaking. This was my second time on the night tour in Iriomote Island, and I want to participate every time.

I was able to participate because there was availability with a reservation made the day before. I believe that making an early reservation provides peace of mind.

The arrangements were poor.
- Even though I only made a reservation for one day, it was double-booked and I was marked as participating for two days.
- I was late for the meeting time and had to wait for the pickup.
- The rental shoes were wet and uncomfortable. Furthermore, when I tried to put them on, a cockroach came out, which was frightening.
- There were not enough shoes and lights for the number of participants, and some groups had to wait for them to be delivered.
段取りが悪かった
・一日しか予約してないのに二重予約となってて二日間の参加にされてた
・集合時間に遅れてピックアップ
・貸し出しの靴が濡れていて気持ち悪かった。更に履こうとしたらゴキブリが出てきて怖かった
・参加人数分の靴もライトもなく、届けてもらうまで待たなければいけないグループがあった

I walked through the jungle searching for creatures and enjoyed stargazing. Walking in the dark jungle at night was a bit scary, but it was fun to go with other groups and have a good time together. The night sky was filled with stars, with not a single cloud in sight. It was the most beautiful starry sky I've ever seen, and I was very satisfied.

This time, I signed up for stargazing, but unfortunately, it wasn't suitable for observing stars due to the bright moon, so I couldn't do it. During the jungle walk, the guide worked hard to find creatures for us. The guides from other tours seemed to know each other and shared information about the creatures they found, which was nice to see.
今回、天体観測がしたくて申し込んだのですが、月が明るかったりと星の観測には向いていなかったようで、残念ながらできませんでした。
ジャングルの散策では、ガイドさんが一生懸命生き物を探してくれました。
他のツアーのガイドさんたちはお互い知り合いのようで、それぞれ見つけた生き物を教え合っていて、仲良さそうなのがよかったです。

The guide was a young 20-year-old with little knowledge, and despite being a UNESCO World Heritage site, we couldn't find any wildlife, and there were no explanations provided. It was the worst experience I've had. In the end, the guide suggested we look for things ourselves. If we could do that, we wouldn't have joined the tour. Also, what was supposed to be a two-hour tour ended up being less than an hour and a half with no explanations, and other participants were also expressing their dissatisfaction. This tour was not worth the money.
20歳の若いガイドで知識が乏しく、せっかくの世界自然遺産なのに生物は見つけられないし、説明もなくて今までで最低でした。しまいには自分たちで探してみて、といったスタンス。それができたらツアーに参加していません。また2時間のはずが1時間半も経たずに説明もなく送られ、他の参加者も不満を漏らしていました。金額に値しないツアーでした。
I used the same company for snorkeling last time, and it felt similar then. I thought it might depend on the person, but after this experience, I have lost trust in this company.
前回シュノーケルでも同じ会社を利用しましたがその時の方も似たような感じでした。人によるのかと思いましたが今回でこの会社への信用はなくなりました。

I was initially unsure about the location near the hotel, but I ended up feeling the incredible nature of Iriomote Island, as I got to see a coconut crab (it's rare to see two at once) and encountered a habu snake.
The closeness of the starry sky after turning off the lights on the beach is an experience that you can't have in the city, so I think those staying on Iriomote Island should consider participating in this.
*Even without joining a tour, you can see amazing starry skies in Iriomote, but I feel there is a difference between being in complete darkness and not.*
思ったより、ホテルの近くの場所に案内されたので、最初はどうなの?と思ったのですが、ヤシガニが見れたり(2匹みれることはレアだそうです)や、ハブに遭遇したりと、西表島の自然の凄さを感じたしだいです。
ビーチ(砂浜)でのライト消したあとの、星空の近さは、都会では味わえない経験なので、西表島に滞在するかたは、参加を検討していただいても良いかと思います。
※ツアーに参加しなくても、西表ではすごい星空はみれますが、真っ暗な状況とそうでないかでも、違いがあるきがします。

The pitch darkness of Iriomote Island made the countless stars in the night sky shine brilliantly, which was truly moving. I was also amazed by the glowing plankton sparkling in the water with just a gentle movement of the paddle. This was my fourth time canoeing, but it was my first time at night, and it was such an enjoyable experience that time flew by too quickly; I wished I could have gazed at the night sky for even longer.

I had a truly valuable experience kayaking in the real darkness and quiet after sunset. The darkness made the bioluminescent plankton look beautiful, as I could barely see a few meters ahead.

They provided detailed explanations about constellations, mangroves, and paddling techniques, and the pace allowed us to really appreciate nature, which was great. Thank you very much.

First of all, thank you to the three guides for your assistance! I was able to enjoy the excitement of being in nature! You picked me up at the hotel on time, and the return transfer was smooth as well. The content of the tour was honestly a bit underwhelming compared to my expectations! While we were shown some interesting places, it was relatively cold, and I didn't encounter many living creatures. Additionally, it was cloudy, so there were no stars at all. To enhance satisfaction, I think it would be better to limit the tours based on temperature and weather conditions. Thank you!

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!
I'm glad you enjoyed the activities on Iriomote Island!!
It's rare to see a perfect starry sky in winter on Iriomote Island, so it was lucky that you got to see it!

Please come back to Iriomote Island again!
We are looking forward to your visit!

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。
If you like trying out your courage, I recommend this! Also, be careful if you're not fond of bugs, as there are quite a few large ones around.
肝試しが好きな人にもおススメです笑また、虫が大きいのが結構出るので苦手な人は注意です。
Thank you for participating in the tour!
I'm glad you enjoyed the activities on Iriomote Island!!
Exploring the jungle at night with just the light from our lanterns was a rare experience!
Iriomote Island has many more attractive spots to visit, not just at night, so please come back and visit us again!
We look forward to seeing you!

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 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 main purpose of this trip was stargazing and photography. Although I heard that winter often has cloudy weather, we were blessed with good weather and encountered a sky full of stars. Our guide was knowledgeable not only about the jungle but also about photography, and I was very grateful for the tips on how to capture the night sky. I will save my encounter with the coconut crab for next time. I believe the nighttime jungle exploration became an unforgettable memory for the children as well. Thank you for the wonderful experience.
今回の旅行の一番の目的が星空鑑賞と撮影でした。冬季は曇天が多いとのことでしたがお天気に恵まれ、一面の星空に出逢えました。ガイドさんがジャングルのことに加え撮影もお詳しい方で、夜空の撮影方法についても教えてくださり大変ありがたかったです。ヤシガニとの出会いは次回の楽しみに取っておきます。子ども達にとっても夜のジャングル探検は忘れられない思い出になったと思います。素敵な体験をありがとうございました。

I participated in a tour of Iriomote Island for the first time.
The night tour involves walking through thickets with a flashlight, searching for creatures near a small waterfall. Since it was winter, there weren't many animals, but the guide worked hard to find some. We were able to see hermit crabs, crabs, and fireflies.
The top recommendation is stargazing! Honestly, I didn't have high expectations, but I was completely overwhelmed!! During the night tour, I was already moved by the density of stars I had never seen before, but the stargazing at the park recommended by the guide was truly amazing. It was undoubtedly one of the best experiences of my life. I lay on the grass in the park to gaze at the incredibly dense stars, searching for constellations, waiting for shooting stars, and chatting with other participants. It was a beautiful sky that I could look at forever without getting bored. At the end, the guide took some wonderful photos with the starry sky as the backdrop.
If I had experienced this as a child, I wonder if my future dreams and life plans would have changed. It’s an experience that can truly touch the heart of adults as well. I highly recommend it. If you're planning a trip to Iriomote Island, please make sure to include stargazing in your itinerary if time allows!!
初めての西表島観光で参加しました。
ナイトツアーは、懐中電灯を手に小さな滝から水が流れる茂みの中を歩きながら生き物を探します。冬だったので生き物が少なかったのですが、ガイドさんが一生懸命探してくれました。ヤドカリ、カニ、ホタル等が見られました。
1番のおすすめは星空鑑賞です!正直そこまで期待はしていませんでしたが、とにかく圧倒されました!!ナイトツアーの最中も、既に見たことのない密度の星たちに感動していましたが、ガイドさんおすすめの公園に移動してからの星空が本当に素晴らしく、間違いなく人生でも指折りの体験が出来ました。まるで別世界にきたと錯覚するほどの密度の星を眺めるために公園の芝生の上で横になって、星座を探したり、流れ星を待ったり、他の参加者の方々と話したりしていました。いつまで見ても飽きることのない素敵な空でした。最後には、ガイドさんが星空をバックに素敵な写真も撮ってくれました。
子供の頃にこの体験をしていたら、将来の夢や人生設計が変わっていたのでは?と思うほど、大人の心も震わせるような体験ができます。本当におすすめです。西表島旅行を計画されている方はお時間が許せば、ぜひ星空鑑賞も旅程に組み込んでください!!
For the night tour, I recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting dirty, as there are muddy areas. Stargazing is more enjoyable if you remember some of the major constellations of the season
ナイトツアーはぬかるみのある場所もあったので、汚れても良い服装で行くことをお勧めします。
星空鑑賞は、季節の主要な星座をいくつか覚えておくとより楽しいです。

It seems that stargazing is difficult during the rainy season, but I was able to see a sky full of stars!
I got a bit carried away and hoped to see the Southern Cross, but it seems that can only be seen early in the morning, and it wasn't on the menu here.
The jungle tour was also fun!
雨季は星空観賞が難しいそうですが、満天の星空に会えました!
調子に乗って、南十字星を拝めればと思いましたが、それは見られたとしても早朝だそうで、こちらのメニューにありませんでした。
ジャングルツアーも楽しかったです!
