Extraordinary. Time flows slowly. Everything was fantastic.
The scenery of Taketomi Island is unique to Taketomi Island. I wouldn't have known that such views cannot be seen on Ishigaki Island unless I went there.
非日常。ゆっくりと流れる時間。全てがサイコーでした。
竹富島の風景は竹富島独自のものなんですね。石垣島であの風景は見られないと、行かなければわからないままでした。
I definitely recommend experiencing island hopping.

I was very satisfied with my trip to the three islands: Iriomote Island, Yubu Island, and Taketomi Island, as I was able to do everything I wanted. I read on other sites that the food wasn't good, but I found it quite tasty. The guide on the cruise in Iriomote Island was entertaining, and I was able to take cute photos with the water buffalo on Yubu Island. I also rode a water buffalo cart on Taketomi Island, but the conversations with the guide, the shamisen music, and the scenery were completely different, making each experience enjoyable. Since I had planned my route in advance with a rental bicycle, I was able to efficiently explore the entire island.
西表島、由布島、竹富島と3島めぐりで全てやりたい事ができて大満足です。他サイトで食事が美味しくなかったと書かれていましたが、私には十分美味しかったです。西表島のクルージングでお兄さんのガイドが面白く、由布島でかわいい水牛との写真が撮れました。竹富島でも水牛車に乗りましたが、ガイドさんの会話・三味線や風景が全く違うので、それぞれ楽しかったです。レンタルサイクルで予めルートを決めていたので、効率よく島全体を周る事ができました。

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。

I had a great time even with the afternoon flight. Since the cycling is available for a full day rental, I think it's necessary to go in the morning. However, if that's not possible, you can still enjoy a lovely tour by walking around the island or participating in a cart tour.

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。

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.

The time spent at each sightseeing spot is far too short. There's nothing you can do except for using the restroom. Please allocate more time at the main locations.
Also, is there any way to improve the meals at Auntie Pozer's table? The main hamburger is too bland. The tempura of white fish has no flavor at all, and there are no seasonings like salt. The small noodle soup is too greasy. I felt that the variety of side dishes was just for the sake of having many.
If it's a sightseeing bus, please clean the windows every day. It's not a regular bus.
The person in charge should join the tour once to understand the feelings of the tourists and aim for improvements.
各々の観光地の滞在時間があまりにも短すぎです。トイレ以外何もできません。
メインの場所では時間をとってください。
あと、ポーザーおばさんの食卓での食事は何とかなりませんか? メインのハンバーグの味が薄すぎます。白身の魚の天ぷらは何の味もしませんし、塩などの調味料すらありません。小さな麺のスープが油っこすぎです。おかずの種類がただ多いだけと感じました。
観光バスであれば毎日窓のガラスをきれいに拭いてください。路線バスではありません。

The weather wasn't very good, but I was satisfied to finally experience riding a water buffalo cart. During our free time, we went to see the ocean, but since we were on foot and the bus schedule was tight, I regretted that we couldn't relax too much. When we were returning from Taketomi Island to Ishigaki Island, we were waiting at the port for our boat. There was an announcement for the departure of a large ferry, but there was no announcement for our boat at all. Since it was scheduled to depart at the same time as the ferry, it was confusing to distinguish between the line for the ferry and the line for our high-speed boat. We initially lined up in the ferry line and had to hurriedly switch to the correct line. There were several others who seemed just as confused, so I thought it would have been helpful to have announcements.
天気があまり良くなかったのですが、以前から体験したかった水牛車に乗ることができて満足でした。自由時間は海を見に行きましたが、徒歩だったため、バスの時間が迫っており、あまりのんびりはできなかったのが残念でした。竹富島から石垣島へ戻る時、港で船が来るのを待っていたのですが、大きなフェリーの出発の案内はあったのですが、私達が乗る船のアナウンスは全くなく、フェリーと同じ時間の出発だったため、フェリーに乗るための列と私達が乗る高速船の列が分かりにくく、最初フェリーの列に並んでいたので、慌てて正しい列に並び直しました。同じように戸惑っている人が何人もいたので、アナウンスがあると良かったと思います。

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.

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.

そして念願の水牛に乗って由布島へ。
水牛はとても可愛く、三味線の音楽を聴きながら由布島へ渡りましたが、沖縄に来たんだなぁと改めて実感しました。
由布島はかなり小さい島なのでサクッと観光できました。
その次は遊覧船でマングローブを観光しました。
かなり雨が降っていたので、雨除けのカバーが付いており、少し見づらかったのが残念でした。
竹富島に着く頃には雨と風が激しく、あまり島を楽しむことができませんでした。
私たちはフリーウォークプランに申し込んでいたので、現地でガイドさんがおらず、天候が悪いと観光するのが難しいなと感じました。
竹富島も綺麗なビーチがあるみたいなので、次回は是非天気が良いときに来てみたいなと思います!

The departure from the bus terminal in front of Ishigaki Port was convenient, as the highlights were well-organized. It's nice to hear the guide's stories instead of driving a rental car. The guide who led my tour seemed to be studying the sanshin and even performed for us. I participated in a day tour to another remote island, and compared to that, I think the lunch was good for the price.
石垣港前のバスターミナルより出発、見どころがまとまっていて便利でした。レンタカーで行くよりガイドさんのお話も聞けます。私が参加した時のガイドさんは三線を勉強されている様で演奏してくださりました。別の離島で一日ツアーへ参加しましたが比べるとランチは、この金額でよかったかと思います。

The mangrove boat tour had attentive guidance and was filled with real-time information about the arrival of birds. The bus driver on Iriomote Island shared very interesting stories, making for a time filled with laughter. The water buffalo cart tour to Yubu Island was a wonderful experience that healed me with the sound of the sanshin and the unique personalities and paces of each buffalo, allowing me to forget the busyness of everyday life. On Taketomi Island, I was efficiently shown the tourist spots, but I wished I could have taken a bit more time to relax.
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。

It was very cold this time, so I think a variety of clothing options is necessary for this season.
