Ishigaki/Yaeyama
This was my third visit to Yufujima, and since I visited in different seasons each time, I was able to enjoy exploring the island. There are also beachside cafes on the island, so you can spend a relaxing time there.
今回で3回目の由布島観光でしたが、それぞれ訪れた季節が違うため楽しく島内を見ることが出来ました。島内のには浜辺のカフェもあるのでゆったりした時間を過ごすことが出来ます。
The ships are also becoming larger, so you can safely travel from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island. There are some cold days from the end of January to early February.
船も大型化されているので石垣島から西表島へも安心して行けます。１月末から2月上旬は寒い日が有りますよ。

I participated in February, and the weather was cloudy and very cold. The other participants were dressed lightly and looked very cold. It rained during the mangrove tour, but it was still quite nice. For lunch, I thought it would have been better if there were more varieties of dessert.
2月に参加し、天気が曇り空、とても寒い日で、他の参加者さんは薄着でとても寒そうでした。ただマングローブ見学の時雨が降ってたけどそれなりに良かったです。ランチはデザートがもっと種類があればいいかなと思いました。
On a nice day, cycling around Taketomi Island would be great.
天気がいい日は竹富島サイクリングがいいでしょう

The pre-tour guidance was well understood, and we were able to tour efficiently without any unnecessary waiting time. Each guide provided appropriate and interesting introductions to the landmarks. One disappointing aspect was that we couldn't fully enjoy the tidal flats due to the high tide. Next time, I would like to visit during low tide. Thank you very much.
事前のガイダンスもよく理解でき、無駄な待ち時間もなく効率的に周遊できました。各ガイド案内も適切かつ面白く名所等を紹介していただきました。一つ残念なことは満潮と重なったため干潟を十分に楽しめませんでした。今度は干潮時に訪れたいと思います。ありがとうございました。

I traveled between Yubu Island and Iriomote Island and rode a water buffalo cart on Taketomi Island. The water buffalo were adorable and it was the best experience.
Also, while moving around Iriomote Island by bus, the driver was entertaining and had a clear voice, making it a great experience as well.
由布島と西表島の間の移動と竹富島内で水牛車に乗りました。水牛も可愛らしく最高でした。
また西表島内はバスでの移動でしたが、その際の運転手の方が話も面白く声も聞きやすく最高でした。
I think it's a good idea to prepare to take photos and videos.
写真と動画を撮る準備をして行くといいと思います。

The weather was nice, and the mangrove tour and water buffalo cart experience became great memories. I rented a bicycle on Taketomi Island, but I felt a bit unsatisfied.
天気も良くマングローブ遊覧、水牛車体験と良い思い出になりました。竹富島はレンタサイクルを借りましたが、少し物足りなさを感じました。

The guide and the driver were both kind and it was fun! I was debating whether to rent a car, but I'm glad I went with the tour. Also, I wish we could have had soba for lunch. Please consider this for the future.
ガイドさんも運転手さんも親切で楽しかったです！
レンタカーか悩んだのですが、ツアーでよかったです。あとは、お昼はそばがよかったなぁ。今後ご検討ください。

I went to Yubu Island by water buffalo cart. The buffaloes were so cute. On the way there, an older man played the shamisen and sang, and on the way back, a woman did the same. Taketomi Island was free to explore. I rode an electric assist bicycle and enjoyed the view of the sea. We went to a café and had lychee juice and guava juice. The café was run by a French woman. I took pictures with the buffaloes on Yubu Island, and I got some really nice photos. On Iriomote Island, we saw a lot of mangroves from a cruise ship.
水牛車で由布島に行きました。牛さんが可愛いね。行きはおじさん、帰りは女性が三味線と歌を聴きました。竹富島はフリーでした。電動アシスト自転車に乗り海を見ました。カフェに行き、ライチジュースとグアバジュースを飲みました。カフェはフランス🇫🇷人の奥様がいましたね。由布島で牛さんと写真撮りました。とても良い写真が撮れました。西表島はクルーズ船でマングローブを沢山見ました。
It's great to explore Taketomi Island by bicycle or electric assist bicycle for sightseeing.
竹富島は自転車とか電動アシスト自転車で回わって観光するのが良いですね。

Since we were traveling with members who couldn't drive, it was very helpful to have someone take us around the main spots in Ishigaki Island (Mikazuki Lighthouse, limestone caves, and Kabira Bay) in just three hours. The driver was also very kind, and we got to hear interesting stories about Ishigaki Island, including one about coconut crabs. I didn't have high expectations for Mikazuki Lighthouse, but I really enjoyed the mini-hike there, and personally, it was the most fun part of the trip.
車を運転できないメンバーでの旅行だったので、石垣島の主要スポット(御神崎灯台、鍾乳洞、川平湾)を3時間でまわってもらえて、とても助かりました。
運転手さんも大変優しい方で、ヤシガニのお話など、興味深い石垣島のお話が聞けました。
御神崎灯台はさほど期待していなかったのですが、ミニハイキングが楽しめて、個人的には1番楽しかったです。
Thank you very much for using our taxi tour service. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed it. We sincerely look forward to your next visit to Ishigaki Island. Thank you once again for participating.
この度は当社のタクシー観光をご利用いただき誠にありがとうございました。お楽しみいただけましたご様子に大変嬉しく思っております。是非また石垣島へお越しいただけますよう心よりお待ち申し上げております。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。

It was raining heavily, but that added to the charm, and it was great. You can rent bicycles if you pay, and they sell rain gear too, so there were no problems at all!
大雨だったけど、それもまた味が出ていて、良かった、自転車もお金払えば借りれるし、雨具も売ってるし、何も問題ナッシんギュー！

The bus guide's stories, the sound of the sanshin, the songs, and the kamishibai made the bus ride enjoyable. I also learned some hand dances. Just meeting the bus guide was enough to make me very satisfied.
The limestone cave was humid. I was moved to see it up close. It was a mystical space.
バスガイドさんの話や三線の音色、歌に紙芝居とバスの中は楽しかったです。手踊りも教えて頂きました。バスガイドさんに会えただけで十分満足できました。
鍾乳洞は蒸し暑かったです。間近に見ることが出来て感動しました。神秘的な空間でした。
It was a weekday in February, but the parking lot at Kabira Bay was full and there was a line. The bus tour is smooth, so I recommend it.
2月の平日でしたが川平湾の駐車場は満車で列が出来ていました。バスツアーはスムーズなのでお勧めです。

I participated in an island-hopping tour from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island, Yubu Island, and Taketomi Island.
On Iriomote Island, the bus ride was enjoyable thanks to the fun island guide provided by the bus driver. We took a water buffalo cart to Yubu Island, where I strolled around and felt my heart healed by the relaxing nature.
During the mangrove cruise, we happened to catch the beginning of low tide, allowing us to see the mangroves in their natural state, which was very nice. On Taketomi Island, I explored the village and was moved by the feeling of Okinawa.
石垣島から西表島、由布島、竹富島への離島巡りに参加しました
西表島でのバス移動は、ばすのドライバーの楽しい島の案内、水牛車に乗って由布島へ、由布島での散策は、のんびり自然とに触れて心が癒されました。
マングローブ遊覧では、丁度干潮が始まり、マングローブの本来の姿を観ることができ、とても良かったです。竹富島では、集落をみて、沖縄を感じ感動したした。
It was mid-February, and it was warm enough to wear short sleeves, but during the mangrove tour, the wind was strong and it felt a bit chilly.
2月中旬でしたが、暖かく半袖でも良いのですが、マングローブ遊覧の際に風が強くて肌寒い感じでした

It was an efficiently packed tour for the whole day. The photo is a commemorative shot with a water buffalo on Taketomi Island. It became a wonderful memory.
1日盛りだくさんのツアーで効率的に回れました。写真は竹富島での水牛さんとの記念撮影。良い思い出となりました。

The weather was great, and I had a very enjoyable time. The guide's explanations were easy to understand and interesting. The glass-bottom boat allowed us to see calm seas and crystal-clear water, where we encountered many fish. I won't forget the color of the ocean. It was a wonderful experience.
お天気にも恵まれ、とても楽しい時間でした。ガイドさんの説明も分かりやすく、面白かったです。グラスボートは海も穏やかで水も透き通っていてたくさんの魚たちに出会えました。海の色は忘れられません。とても素敵な体験でした。
The sunlight is quite dazzling, so sun protection is important even in winter. It might feel surprisingly cold due to the strong wind, despite the sunlight. Lunch is quite substantial.
かなり日差しが眩しいので、冬でも日焼け対策は重要です。風が強いので日差しの割には意外と寒く感じるかもしれません。お昼ご飯ははかなりボリュームがあります。

The weather was great, and I had a lot of fun. The islands had their own unique characteristics, and the rural feel was also very appealing.

The beaches of Taketomi Island are so beautiful that they seem unreal. The bus guide on Iriomote Island was interesting and great!
竹富島のビーチがこの世のものとは思えないほどキレイ。西表島のバスガイドさん、話が面白く良かったです！

It was very nice to cross to Yufu Island by water buffalo cart. The water buffalo were cute, and the explanations were easy to understand. It was a bit disappointing that there were few flowers since it wasn't the season for them, but I was able to take my time exploring places like the butterfly house. I think it would have been even better if I could have done some sightseeing on Iriomote Island as well.
水牛車で由布島へ渡るのがとても良かったです。
水牛も可愛いし、説明も分かりやすかったです。
由布島も季節ではなかったので花が少なかったのは残念でしたが、蝶々のハウスなどゆっくり見学する事が出来ました。
西表島の観光もできればもっとよかったと思いました。
You can take photos with the model, Mr. Water Buffalo. One cut was 1,880 yen.

We were able to efficiently visit three islands, and the explanations made it a fulfilling day. The water buffalo was also working hard, and I felt like cheering for it. Keep it up!

I was glad I could visit the main attractions without having to drive or research where to go, thanks to this tour! The guide shared a lot of information about Ishigaki Island, which was also really great.
運転したりどこ行くか調べなくても、このツアーのおかげでメインどころ行けて良かった！

The mangroves of Iriomote Island and the water buffalo cart to Yufu Island were amazing. The water buffalo cart ride, in particular, was a wonderful experience. The bus driver's stories while we traveled from place to place were also enjoyable.
On Taketomi Island, I rented a bicycle for free and explored the area. While it's possible to walk around, I recommend biking since time is limited in the afternoon. This tour, which doesn't waste any time, comes highly recommended.
西表島のマングローブ、由布島への水牛車、最高でした。
特に水牛車は素敵な時間でした。
場所場所を回るバスの運転手さんのお話も楽しかったです。
竹富島では、フリーで自転車を借りて回りました。徒歩でも回れますが午後からの限られた時間ですので自転車がおすすめです。
無駄な時間を取られることないこのツアーはおすすめです。
Since the free activities are only on Taketomi Island, it's a good idea to research the shops in advance so you can fully enjoy your time there.
フリーは竹富島だけですのでできたらたっぷり楽しめるように事前にお店は調べておいた方がいいです。

I leisurely rode a water buffalo along the peaceful row of houses while listening to island songs, and it brought me to tears. It was a 30-minute stroll, but I wanted to ride more. The stories from the lady were enjoyable, and the shamisen songs were wonderful. I definitely want to go again!
のどかな家並みをのんびり
水牛さんに乗り 島唄を聞きながら
涙出ました
30分の散策でしたが
もっと乗りたいと思いました
お姉さんのお話も楽しくて
三味線の歌も素敵で
絶対また行きたいです
If you sit in the front seat, you can hear the shamisen and the conversation clearly. If you sit in the back seat, you can see the face of the water buffalo coming from behind. Both are enjoyable.
前の座席に座ると
三味線とお話しが良く聞こえ
後ろの座席に座ると

On the mangrove cruise in Iriomote Island, you can fully immerse yourself in untouched nature. After being pulled by a water buffalo to Yubu Island, you can enjoy lunch, as well as mini hiking and shopping. On Taketomi Island, you can search for star sand and explore traditional villages. I believe that experiencing all of this in about eight hours is something special to the tour. Additionally, on Taketomi Island, you can choose your preferred way of sightseeing.
西表島のマングローブクルーズでは手つかずの自然を全身に浴びることができます。水牛に引かれて由布島へ移動したら、昼食をいただき、ミニハイキングやショッピングも楽しめます。竹富島では星の砂を探したり昔ながらの集落を見て回ることができます。これだけの内容を約８時間で堪能できるのはツアーならではだと思います。また、竹富島ではご自身の好きな観光方法を選択できます。

I was interested in visiting the remote islands, but since I didn't have time to research or plan, I chose this one-day trip to the three islands.
Lunch: It was delicious. I liked that it was a buffet style.
Transportation: It was great that everything was taken care of. I think the safety is sufficient for an average adult.
Staff Response: Everyone involved was cheerful and friendly, leaving a good impression.
Tour Content: Everything was great. Since we could visit and experience famous spots, it helped me decide what I want to spend more time on next.
Price: I’m not sure about the market rate, but personally, I feel it was reasonable. It might even be a good deal.
Other: I was lucky that the weather was nice.
離島には興味がありましたがアクセスを調べたり計画する時間がなかったことから一日で三島行けるこちらのプランを選択しました。
ランチ:おいしかった。バイキング形式なのがよかった
交通手段:全てお任せできたのがよかった。一般的な大人なら安全性も十分だと思う
スタッフ対応:関係者のみなさんは全員明るくて人当たりもよく好印象
ツアー内容:全てよかった。有名どころを観光・体験できるため、自分が次に何に時間をかけたいかの判断材料にできる
価格:相場はわかりませんが個人的な感覚ででは適正。むしろお得かも
その他:天気がよかったのがラッキーでした
I think this is perfect for those who want to visit various islands from Ishigaki Island for the first time and would like to leave the transportation arrangements to someone else.
・初めて石垣島から各離島を訪れる
・交通手段はお任せにしたい
というような方にはぴったりだと思います

There are various plans available, and you can choose the one that suits you. The driver seemed to have a tough time juggling the guiding duties, but he was wonderful. Being able to choose the return time is also great! 👍️

While I was waiting in the airport arrival lobby, imagining an elderly man, a female driver came to pick me up!
Shortly after departing, she suddenly slammed on the brakes and exclaimed, "Wow! No way!" A pair of wild peacocks greeted us, and one of them was a white peacock! Thanks to her constant attention to the surroundings while driving, we also encountered a hawk and a wild boar (with detailed explanations about their ecology!).
Since I had consulted with the tour company in advance about whether it was feasible to visit my desired spots, the driver had already arranged an efficient order for the itinerary. Additionally, from the conversations during the course, she spontaneously incorporated hidden gems that we would likely enjoy, and each one was fantastic.
Moreover, she said, "Don't worry about the time; feel free to take your time and enjoy," which allowed us to savor each destination without rushing, which was very nice.
Overall, the driver was filled with love for Ishigaki Island and a desire to convey the island's charm to us within the limited time we had. It wasn't just about efficiency or convenience; the experiences and information we gained were incredible.
I am truly grateful to have had this driver, and I feel full of appreciation.
I would definitely love to ride with her again!
空港の到着ロビーで年配のおじさんを想像して待っていたら女性ドライバーさんが迎えに来てくれました！
出発して間もなく「わっ！うそっ！」と急停車！野生の孔雀のつがい、しかも一羽はなんと白孔雀！！が出迎えてくれました。常に周りに注意をはらって運転してくださるおかげで、サシバー（猛禽類）やウリ坊にも会えました。
（生態などのすごく詳しい解説つき！）
事前に希望スポットを周るのに無理がないかツアー会社に相談していたため、ドライバーさんが予め効率の良い順序を組んでおいてくださったうえ、そのコースや道中の会話から我々が好きそうな穴場スポットを即興で組み込んでくださり、そのどれもが素晴らしかったです。
また「時間は適当に調整しますから気にしないで見てきていいですよー」と言ってくださり、行く先々をゆったり慌てずに味わうことができたのもとても良かったです。
とにかくドライバーさんが、石垣島愛と、限りある時間で島の魅力を最大限伝えようとしてくださる気持ちに溢れていて、単なる効率や利便性だけでなく、得られる経験と情報量がすごい。
このドライバーさんで本当に良かったですし、感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです。
きっとまた乗せていただきたいです！

I participated on New Year's Day this year. Although the strong north wind made for unfortunate weather, I was able to visit all the places I wanted in just one day. I really enjoyed the mangroves of Iriomote Island, riding the water buffalo cart to and from Yubu Island, and searching for star sand on the streets and beaches of Taketomi Island. I think it would be quite difficult to visit all these places individually due to transportation issues in each area. It was also nice that lunch was included, making the trip much easier.
26年元日に参加しました。北風強く生憎のお天気でしたが、行きたかった場所に1日で回れました。西表島のマングローブ、由布島への行き帰りに乗る水牛車、竹富島の街並みや浜辺で星砂探しとても楽しかったです。個人で全て回るのは各地での交通などの問題もあり大変だと思います。お昼も付いていて楽に旅が出来ました。
On Taketomi Island, it's better to explore by renting a bicycle so you can take your time.
竹富島ではレンタサイクルで回った方がゆっくり過ごせます。

We participated in our first family trip with our 2-year-old daughter! Despite the mishap of forgetting the reservation holder's iPhone at home, we were able to adapt and enjoy ourselves without any issues! The captain of the mangrove tour, along with the water buffalo Mirai-kun (who was with us both going and returning, haha), was very kind to our daughter, creating the best memories! I hope to revisit as a family in 5 or 10 years when our daughter is old enough to remember the experience!
2歳の娘と初めての家族旅行で参加しました！
予約した本人のiPhoneを自宅に忘れるハプニングもありながら、臨機応変に対応していただき無事に楽しむことができました！
マングローブの船長さんも、水牛のみらいくん(行きも帰りもみらいくんでした笑)とおじさんも、娘にとても親切にしてくださり最高の思い出になりました！
また5年後10年後、娘が記憶に残る年齢になった頃に家族で再訪したいなと思います！

It was a cloudy day with strong winds, which made it unsuitable for the glass-bottom boat, but the underwater environment was calm and filled with colorful fish. Especially, the captain found a turtle, and I was moved because it was my first time seeing a baby turtle. Thank you!

I was satisfied with the smooth flow of the trip from check-in to the end. At first, I honestly thought it was a bit expensive, but the cost performance wasn't bad. It was a shame that the weather wasn't great, so I want to try again with my family next time. Thank you very much.

The guide's storytelling was wonderful! The water buffalo had names and were so cute. They are smart and hardworking, and I could feel the bond between the guide and the water buffalo.
The mangrove tour at Nakagawa was done by boat. The guide provided various explanations, and I felt the vitality of the mangroves. I learned that the dead trees sink underwater and never float back up. It was incredibly mystical! The tour guides were all knowledgeable and had emotions, which was lovely. I felt that the experience was very worthwhile for the price, and I'm glad I participated.
ガイドさんの口談が素敵でした！水牛に名前が付いていて可愛いです。賢くて働き者、ガイドさんと水牛の絆を感じました。

This was my first time in Ishigaki, and since I wasn't familiar with the geography, I used the bus tour from To Transport. It efficiently covered the key spots.
The bus guide provided various information, including views from the bus, which was very helpful for me as a first-time visitor to Ishigaki.
We departed in the morning from the bus terminal near the ferry terminal. It felt like we were going around half the island, but before returning to the bus terminal, we also stopped at Ishigaki Airport. So, if you're flying back after 2 PM on your last day in Ishigaki, you can make good use of your limited time.
石垣もはじめて。地理も不慣れなため、東運輸のバス観光ツアーを利用しました。
要所を効率よく回れます。
バスガイドさんも、車中からの眺めも含めいろいろ案内してくれたので、はじめて石垣に行った私には、とてもありがたかったです。
離島ターミナル近くのバス発着所から朝出発。島を半周してくる感じですが、バス発着所に戻る前に石垣空港でも止まりますので、石垣最終日の14時以降の便で帰るときも最終日の限られた時間を有効に使えると思います。
