All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

I had a great time canoeing and trekking. I heard that Sangara Falls gets a lot of visitors in the summer, but since it's the off-season now, it was just us. On the way back, the water level had decreased, making it quite challenging to paddle the canoe, but it was fun.

カヌー＆トレッキングで楽しい時間を過ごせました。サンガラの滝は、夏は多くの人がおとずれるそうですが、今は、オフシーズンなので、私たちだけでした。帰りは、水かさが少なくなり、カヌーを漕ぐのがなかなか大変でしたが、楽しかったです。

I was imagining stars falling, but unfortunately, it was a cloudy sky.
However, I was able to see some very beautiful stars through the gaps in the clouds.
The explanation was easy to understand, and it was a very valuable experience.
I would like to try again on a clear day.

降る様な星をイメージしてましたがあいにくの曇り空。
でも雲の合間からとてもきれいな星を見ることができました。
説明もわかりやすくとても貴重な体験がでした。
晴れた日にもう一度チャレンジしたいです。

The atmosphere was already enchanting as I walked along the path guided by the soft light placed on the ground, contrasting with the tall plants. I was able to comfortably gaze at the stars without straining my neck in the reclining chair. As promised, I could clearly recognize the colors of the stars through the binoculars, and I would love to participate again in another season to see different stars. Thank you very much.

背の高い植物と対照的に地面に置かれた淡い光に誘導される道を歩く時点ですでに幻想的な雰囲気。リクライニング・チェアで首が痛くなることもなく、気持ちよく星を眺めることができました。また、説明通り、双眼鏡で見せていただいた星の色もハッキリ認識する事ができ、別の星が見れるほかの季節にもまた参加したいと思います。どうもありがとうございました。

I was amazed by the number of stars.
It was a wonderful time that you can't experience in the city.
The explanation using lasers was interesting and easy to understand; the hour flew by.
Next time, I would like to participate during the new moon.

星の多さに驚きました。
都会では味わえない素敵な時間でした。
レーザーを使った解説も面白くて分かりやすくあっという間の1時間でした。
次は新月の時に参加してみたいです。

It was my first time stargazing. It was a breathtaking view that you definitely can't see in Tokyo. Sitting in a chair and looking at the sky while listening to the guide's stories was very interesting. The stories about stars and the universe were also fascinating. There were many shooting stars as well. Thank you for a wonderful time that felt like being in a planetarium.

始めての星空観察。東京では絶対見られないような、絶景でした。
椅子に座って、空を眺めながら、ガイドさんのお話でとても面白かったです。星の話から宇宙の話もとても面白かったです。流れ星もたくさん流れてました
プラネタリウムにいるような素敵な時間ありがとうございます。

The day started off cloudy. As soon as we landed on the phantom island, it started to rain (。>д<). It was a bit chilly with the wind. By the time we reached the snorkeling spot, the weather gradually improved and it became sunny‼ The previous day had been heavy rain. Since we were scheduled to leave that day, it was the best to finally see the clear blue sea (о´∀`о). It was really beautiful!

朝から天気は曇りでスタート。幻の島上陸したとたん雨(。>д<)風もあって、少し寒かったです。シュノーケリングの場所についた頃には少しずつ天気も回復し、晴れました‼全日は大雨。この日に帰る予定だったので、最後に晴れて青い海が見られて最高でした(о´∀`о)とってもキレイでした！

I was really moved by how close the stars were and how many I could see. I got to see the rings of Saturn and my own constellation, which are things I could never see normally. I want to participate again someday. This was my first time experiencing something like this!

星があんなに近く、たくさん見れる事なんてそうそうない事なのですごく感動しました。
土星の輪っか、自分の星座、など普段では絶対見れない星座が見れて、いつかまた参加したいと思いました。こんな経験、初めて〜〜‼️

My first stargazing experience was wonderful. The cute, slightly nervous announcements from the new guide were also very nice. The information about the stars and the universe that I heard for the first time was fascinating, and I was able to see many shooting stars! I did wish that the last five minutes could have been without a guide, allowing for a silent stargazing experience... (ﾟ∀ﾟ) Also, I was mistakenly charged too much for the shuttle bus fare, but I realized it at the end and got a refund. If it weren't for such mistakes, it would have been perfect! ^ ^

初めての星空観測。
新人ガイドさんのかわいらしい緊張気味のアナウンスもとてもよかったです。
初めて聞く星や宇宙のことがおもしろく、流れ星もたくさん見れました！
最後の5分間くらいはガイドもなく、無音で星空観測ができたらなぁ〜とは思いましたが…(ﾟ∀ﾟ)
あと、送迎のバス料金が間違って多く取られてしまいましたが、最後に気づいて返金してもらいました。
そのようなミスが無ければ、満点かなと^ ^

I could see a lot of stars up close, and it was the best time. The explanations were very easy to understand, which was great. I was very satisfied.

Participating in the tour with transportation included made it convenient.

星が まじかに沢山見えて 最高の時間でした
説明も大変分かりやすく良かった。大満足でした

ツアーに参加して 送迎もついており
楽でした

The day was sunny, but it became cloudy as the night approached, and as the tour started, the stars gradually became less visible. It was disappointing since the tour was mainly about the stars. I think it would be a great tour if the stars were clearly visible.

当日は晴れてたのですが夜にかけて曇りだし、ツアーが始まるとだんだん星が見えなくなってしまいました。
星がメインのツアーだけに残念でした。
綺麗に星が見えたら、とてもいいツアーだと思います。

The world of celestial bodies is profound. It was clear that the person explaining really loves stars and the universe. I learned so much and now I want to see stars from different seasons. My 9-year-old daughter seems to be interested as well. August 28 corresponds to the 7th day of the 7th month in the lunar calendar, and I saw the Milky Way along with Orihime and Hikoboshi for the first time in my life. Next time, I want to see the Southern Cross.

天体の世界は、奥深い。説明して頂いた方が本当に星と言うか宇宙が好きなんだって伝わってきました。こちらも知らないことばかりで…違う季節の星も見たくなりました。9歳の娘も興味を持ったようです。8/28は、旧暦の7/7に当たるそうで…生まれて初めて天の川と織姫、彦星を見ました。
次回は南十字座を見たいです。

I experienced my second starry night in my life. The first was during my teenage years at the ruins of Nanao Castle in Hokuriku. This time, I was overwhelmed by countless stars and the Milky Way stretching across the sky. I saw seven shooting stars! I couldn't make my wishes in time. The starry sky in Ishigaki Island is absolutely amazing! I hope to have another opportunity.

人生で二度目の星降る夜を体験しました、一度目は10代の頃に行った北陸七尾城跡の夜空、今回は無数の星と天空に広がる天の川に圧倒されました、流れ星は７個！願い事は間に合わないね〜石垣島の星空は、最高に素晴らしい！もう一度、機会があれば。

For our family, who originally planned to stay in Ishigaki for just two nights, the first day was canceled due to rain. I was wondering what the next day would be like, but we were able to enjoy stargazing in very good conditions!

My child said that this stargazing tour was the best part of our five-day trip. I was also very satisfied as I was able to see nearly ten shooting stars.

However, there was a very small child (a non-walking baby) present who cried almost the entire time from the beginning to the end.

I was seated away from them, but even so, I couldn't hear the explanations, and the baby must have been anxious in the dark... I felt it would be better to have conditions such as not allowing children under three to participate. I think the people sitting right next to them must have found it quite difficult.

I was disappointed that I couldn't take good photos of the stars, so I would like to try again someday.

石垣に2泊しかしない予定だった私たち家族にとって、
1日目が雨となり中止。翌日はどうなるのか、、、と思っていたら、
とても良い状態での星空浴をすることができました！

子どもも5日間の旅でこの星空ツアーが一番良かったと言っています。
私も流れ星を10個近く見ることができて、大満足です。

ただ、とても小さなお子さん（歩けない赤ちゃん）をお連れの方が
いて、最初からほぼ最後まで泣きどおし、、、

私は席が離れていましたが、それでも説明が聞こえない上に、
赤ちゃんも真っ暗で不安だろうし、、、3歳以下は参加できないなど
条件を付けられた方が良いかと感じました。真横にいらっしゃった方々は
正直たまったもんじゃないと思います。

星空写真が上手く撮れなくて残念だったので、またいつかチャレンジしたいです。

It was my first time seeing such a beautiful Milky Way. There are stars and constellations that can be seen in different seasons, so I would like to see them in another season. The guide was also knowledgeable about the stars, and it was very easy to understand.

あんなに綺麗な天の川を見たのは初めてでした。
季節ごとに見れる星、星座もあるので、季節を変えて見たいです。
ガイドさんも星に詳しい人で、とてもわかりやすかったです。

It was supposed to be a discussion about choosing a location based on the weather that day, but the moonlight made it difficult to see the stars, and there were clouds everywhere! When I returned to my accommodation in Hirakawa, the sky was completely filled with stars, and I was disappointed thinking I shouldn't have spent money and time to go see them. Also, on the day itself, there was no email with location information, and the address provided over the phone for nearby places was completely off. It's a shame.

その日の天候に合わせて場所を決める様な話だった筈なのに、月明かりで星が見難い上に、雲が一面に‼︎ 平川の宿泊先に戻ったら、一面星空になっていて、わざわざお金と時間使って見に行かなければ良かった〜と、がっかりしました。
また、当日になっても場所案内のメールもなく、電話で教えて貰った近隣とされる住所は、まったく見当違いの場所でした。
残念です。

Ishigaki Island has a beautiful starry sky that can be enjoyed without taking a boat, and the explanations of the many stars were very easy to understand and enjoyable.

石垣島は船に乗らなくても、十分綺麗な星空が見られるが、たくさんの星の解説がとても分かりやすく楽しかった。

I felt that it was worth coming to Ishigaki just for this. Perhaps it's one of the best places in the world for star observation? It was even more amazing than the Big Island of Hawaii. The guide's explanations were great, and I believe it was definitely worth the money I paid.

これだけで石垣に来た甲斐があったと思いました。
恐らく、星の観測では世界一に近い場所では？ハワイ島よりも凄かった。ガイドの説明も良くって、お金を払った価値は充分あったと思っています。

On my first trip to Ishigaki Island, while just sightseeing would have been nice, I wanted to see the beautiful ocean and southern fish since I had come all the way from Hokkaido, so I joined this tour. The staff were friendly and explained everything in detail, and the boat was a large one that could accommodate 100 people, so we had plenty of space to relax. It seemed like they took us to the best spots based on the day's weather and wave conditions. The staff accompanied us while snorkeling and explained various fish. We even saw Nemo! The waves were calm that day, and we had a great time. However, it was unfortunate that they didn't inform us of the departure time, so I wasn't sure how long we could enjoy snorkeling and couldn't make the most of it. I think it might depend on the weather, but if you're visiting Okinawa, I definitely recommend participating.

初めての石垣島で、普通に観光するのもいいけど　せっかく北海道から南の果てまで来たので綺麗な海と南の魚を見たくてこのツアーに参加しました。
スタッフは気さくで丁寧に説明してくれて、船も１００人乗りの大きな船で余裕で過ごせました。
その日の天気と波の状態で一番良いところに連れて行ってくれるみたいでした。
スタッフがシュノーケリング中ついてくれて色々な魚とかを説明してくれました。ニモもいたよ！
この日は波も穏やかで楽しめました。
ただ出発時間を教えてくれてなかったので、いつまでシュノーケリングで自由時間を過ごせるか解らなくて有効に使えなかったのが残念でした。
天気にも左右されるかと思いますが、折角沖縄に来たなら参加するのをお勧めします。

I had a wonderful experience with the best weather. The snorkeling lecture was thorough, so I was able to see many fish without any issues. I was constantly amazed by the scenery on the phantom island. They even lent me a mermaid costume for free. Next time, I want to sign up for the full-day course.

最高の天気で素晴らしい経験ができました。シュノーケルのレクチャーをしっかりして頂いたので、全く問題なくたくさんの魚を見る事ができました。幻の島では景色に感動しっぱなしでした。マーメイドの衣装を無料で貸して頂きました。次回は１日コースを申し込みたいです。

The venue is located in a place surrounded by fields, making it very quiet. The local staff mentioned that the viewing area is enclosed with a fence to keep away pests, and there are reclining chairs that allow you to enjoy a 360° view of many stars. During the viewing, the staff provided detailed information about the stars and constellations according to the movement of the clouds, which sparked my interest in astronomy and made for a very fulfilling experience. Since the area is surrounded by fields, I recommend bringing insect repellent spray if you're concerned about mosquitoes, as it will help you focus on stargazing.

会場は畑しかない場所ということもあり、とても静かで、現地のスタッフさんもおっしゃってましたが、鑑賞スペースは一面ハブ避けのフェンスが張られていてリクライニングチェアで360℃たくさんの星を眺めることが出来ました。鑑賞中は雲の動きに合わせて見える星や星座についてスタッフの方が詳しく教えてくれていたので、星にとても興味が湧きとっても充実した時間を過ごせました。辺りは畑なので蚊が気になる方は虫除けスプレーを持っていかれると集中して星を眺められると思います。

I was lucky to participate on a clear night. We went about 10 minutes offshore from the port, stopped the boat, and observed the stars. We could see stars just above the horizon, including the Southern Cross. The staff explained the constellations, which was very informative. The boarding location is close to the 730 intersection, making access smooth. The boat is new and very comfortable. Sitting on the front bench and feeling the breeze while cruising is very pleasant. It became an unforgettable experience in Ishigaki Island.

晴れた日の夜に参加することができラッキーでした。港から10分程度沖に出て、船を止め、そこで星を観察しました。水平線すれすれの星まで見れ、南十字星も見れました。スタッフの方が星座について説明してくださり、とてもよくわかりました。乗船場所も730交差点から近く、スムースにアクセスできます。船は新しくとても快適。先端のベンチに座って風を受けながらクルーズするととても気持ち良いです。石垣島での忘れられない体験になりました。

I was very satisfied that I could see the Southern Cross.
I heard it would be cold, so I brought my own hotel bath towel. There are blankets available, but I recommend that those who are sensitive to the cold bring their own as well.

I appreciated the service of warm tea.
Next, I want to go see the Milky Way.

南十字星もみることができ、とても満足しました。
寒いと聞いていたのでホテルのバスタオルを持参しました。ブランケットの用意もありますが寒がりな人は自分でも用意をした方がオススメです。

温かいお茶のサービスもありがたかったです。
次は天の川も見に行きたいです。

The captain and all the staff were very kind.
We went snorkeling between Taketomi Island and Ishigaki Island. The view from the boat before reaching the snorkeling point was a vibrant blue sea that I had never seen before, and it was truly moving!!
During snorkeling, they taught us how to wear the masks, so very little water got in, and we were able to swim comfortably. They also explained the names of the fish, which allowed us to enjoy a different experience than just swimming on our own.
There was also a shower room with shampoo and conditioner provided, so we could go straight to the airport comfortably. I would like to use their services again next time. I want to go diving next time to see a different view. Thank you very much!!

船長さんをはじめスタッフのみなさんがとても親切でした。
竹富島と石垣島の間でのシューノケリングをしました。ポイントに着くまでの船からみる景色が今までに見たことのない鮮やかな青い海でとても感動しました!!
シュノーケルの際にはマスクの付け方を教えて頂きほとんど水が入らず快適に泳ぐことができました。また魚の名前も説明して頂き自分たちだけでは泳ぐ時とは違う楽しみ方ができました。
シャワー室もありシャンプーやリンスも備え付けであったため、そのまま飛行機に乗ることができ快適でした。次回もまたお世話になりたいと思っています。次はダイビングでまた違う景色を見にいきたいと思います。ありがとうございました!!

Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy, and the stars were not visible. If it had been a little later, the clouds might have cleared, and we could have seen the stars!

That said, the situation was fantastic, and on a clear day, there should be a stunning starry sky! If the weather forecast predicts clear skies, I would definitely recommend it!!

This time, it was a cloudy day, and the stars were not visible. The staff encouraged questions, but I wanted to hear more interesting stories or unique insights about Ishigaki, as well as tales related to the stars. It felt like they were just stalling for time. The conversation was dull.

If the stars weren't visible, I would have liked them to prepare interesting stories about Okinawa or the islands, or fascinating tales about stars. Considering it costs 5,000 yen...

Overall, it was just a tour that made me feel sleepy and cold.

あいにく天気が曇りで、星は見えず、、もう少し遅い時間であれば雲が晴れてたので、星みれたかも！

と、言ってもシチュエーションは最高で、晴れてる日にはおそらく満点の星空が見えるはず！
晴れの天気予報であれば、ぜひおすすめしたいです！！

今回は、曇りの日で、星が見えず、
スタッフさんが質問を促してたのですが、もっと面白い話や石垣ならではのうんちくや、星にまつわる話などを聞きたかったです。。ただただ時間稼ぎをしているようでした。
話がつまらなかった。。
星が見えないなら見えないならではの、
沖縄や離島の昔話や、星の面白い話などを自ら準備して欲しかっです。
5000円もかかってるので。。

とにかく眠く寒いだけのツアーだった。。

It was great to be able to enjoy the stars while slowly sipping drinks on a beautiful and luxurious large cruise ship. The day I went, there were a variety of people from young to older, but it wasn't crowded, allowing us to relax and enjoy ourselves.

One disappointing aspect was that the tour day was cloudy, and we couldn't see as many stars as we had hoped. Weather is something beyond our control, so that's understandable. However, the tour guide had a wealth of knowledge about constellations and provided detailed explanations, making it enjoyable by sharing information about the positions and characteristics of the stars.

I definitely want to take this tour again, hoping for a sunny day next time.

綺麗で高級感のある大きめなクルーズ船でゆっくりお酒を飲みながら星が見られる点が良かったです。利用した日は若い方から年配の方まで様々でしたが人数も混み合っておらず、ゆっくり楽しめました。
一つ残念だったのがツアー日が曇り空で星が思った以上には見れなかった点です。天候は運もありますので仕方がないポイントですが、ツアーガイドの方は星座の知識を持って丁寧に解説をして頂き、星の位置関係や特徴なども知れて楽しめるように工夫されていました。
また次は晴れの日を願いながら是非このツアーを利用したいと思います。

Stargazing Cruise - Amazed by the countless stars and the Milky Way! From January to June, you can also see the Southern Cross, the only one in Japan. Includes a stargazing guide, one free drink, and takes place in Ishigaki Island.

They picked us up right on time! It was cloudy, so the guide kindly asked if we wanted to change to another day since we might not see the stars. However, since it was our last day of travel, we decided to go ahead, even though we were a bit anxious. The boat was really beautiful, and since there were only a few participants, it felt almost like a private cruise.

I had heard that we would get one drink, but it turned out to be all-you-can-drink, making for a delightful night cruise! Unfortunately, due to the clouds, we could only see a few stars, but the guide patiently pointed them out and shared fun stories about the stars we couldn't see, explaining how beautiful it would have been if it were clear.

Even on a cloudy night with not many stars visible, we had such a great time, and I believe if it had been clear, it would have been an experience worth much more than the price! I definitely want to try again! Thank you for such a wonderful time!

星空観賞クルーズ　満天の星とティンガーラ（天 の川）に感動！1～6月頃は日本で唯一の南十字星も＜星空ガイド付／1ドリンク無料／石垣島＞

集合時間ピッタリに迎えに来ていただきました！
曇っていたので案内の人が今日は星見えないかもしれないので明日とかに変更しますか？と親切に聞いていただいたのですがその日が旅行最終日だった為変更せず不安ながら行ったのですが、船は凄く綺麗で参加人数も少なかった為ほぼ貸切状態でした。
ドリンクもワンドリンクと聞いてたんですが飲み放題で気持ちいい夜のクルーズができました！
曇だった為星は残念ながらパラパラとしか見えませんでしたがその少しの星にも案内の人が丁寧に教えてくれて、見えてない星も本当は晴れてたら･･･と楽しくお話して頂きました！
曇で星があまり見えない日でもこれだけ楽しめたので晴れていたら本当にお値段以上の体験ができたと思います！またリベンジしたいと思います♪
本当に素敵な時間をありがとうございました！

Since it was during Golden Week, the Phantom Island was more crowded than expected (laughs), but the scenery was exactly as depicted in guidebooks, and just being there was satisfying. The guide was friendly and provided various explanations, so even though the time was short, I was able to relax and enjoy the tour very much. The equipment was all new and clean, which was a big plus. I have snorkeled in places like Okinawa, the Great Barrier Reef, and Palau, but the clarity of the water here was the highest, and the number and variety of fish I saw were the best. I hope to try diving when my son gets older. I hope the coral has recovered a bit by then.

GWの参加だったので、幻の島は予想以上に混雑していた(笑)けれど、ガイドブック等に載っている正にそのままの景色が広がり、もはやその場に居るだけで満足という感じだった。ガイドさんが気さくに声をかけて下さったり様々な説明をして下さるので、短い時間ではあったがとてもリラックスしてツアーを楽しむことができた。機材はどれも新しくきれいだったのもポイント高い。これまで沖縄本島やGBR、パラオなどでもシュノーケリングしたが、どこよりも透明度が高く、見られた魚の数も種類も一番だった。息子が大きくなったら、是非ダイビングに挑戦したいと思った。それまでにサンゴが少しでも復活していてくれますように。

I was very satisfied with the starry sky as I could see many stars. The boat was also a large cruiser that was clean and comfortable! However, I imagined we would go to a place where we could see fewer city lights, so I felt like there wasn't much point in getting on the boat. Since they used a laser to explain the stars, I wish they had a bit more knowledge to share. Personally, I think enjoying a quiet night is more romantic, so instead of playing Western music, it would be better to enjoy the relaxing sounds of Okinawan music or complete silence. I plan to visit Ishigaki during the Milky Way season again.

星がたくさん見れて星空に満足です。
また船も大きなクルーザーで清潔感があり快適でした！
ですが、もっと街の明かりが見えないところまで行くのかと
想像していたのでちょっと 船まで乗る意味が無かった様な感じます。
星の説明もせっかくレーザーを使用したのであればもう少し知識をつけて欲しいです。
また個人的には静寂な夜を楽しむほうがロマンチックかなぁと思い
洋楽を流すより、せっかくなら沖縄音楽のゆったりした音楽か完全な静寂を楽しむほうがいいのではないかと感じました。
また　天の川の時期に石垣に遊びにこようと思います。

I was able to see many shooting stars, making it a wonderful stargazing experience. It was a precious time that could only be seen here. I felt like I could faintly see the Southern Cross... My own zodiac sign (Leo) was clearly visible, and I was moved by the large constellations. I'm really glad I participated, especially with the staff's easy-to-understand explanations about the constellations. Although I can't take great photos yet, I thought I would study to be able to capture the night sky by the next time I come to Ishigaki! Having binoculars would make it even better!

たくさんの流れ星も観ることができ素晴らしい星空体験
ここでしかみられない貴重な時間でした。
南十字星がうっすら？見えた様な....
自分の星座もはっきり見えて(獅子座)
大きな星座で感動。それに星座の云われなどスタッフさんの分かりやすい説明で参加して本当によかったです。
まだ上手に撮れませんが、今度石垣にくるまでに
星空の写真が撮れるように勉強してみようと思いました‼
双眼鏡があったらもっといいかも‼

The weather wasn't very good, so it was just my husband and me who participated. After arriving, we quickly moved to the boat, changed, and set off. This was my third time snorkeling, and the explanation on how to wear the underwater mask and snorkel was very clear, making it the most comfortable snorkeling experience I've had with minimal seawater getting in. The waves were high and it was a bit cold, so the weather conditions weren't great, but we had plenty of time and were able to see many fish. When we returned to the shop, there were showers available, and we could head out for sightseeing right after, which was helpful. Overall, I felt there wasn't much explanation and the response was a bit dry, so I think this shop is recommended for those who are experienced or prefer not to have too many explanations.

天気かあまり良くなかったせいか参加は私達夫婦だけでした。到着後すぐ船に移動して着替えをして出発。シュノーケリングは3回目でしたが、水中マスクとシュノーケルの装着の仕方の説明がとても分かりやすく、今までで一番海水が入らず快適にシュノーケリングができました。波が高く少し寒かったので天気のコンディションはあまり良くありませんでしたが、時間もたっぷりとっていただきたくさんの魚を見ることが出来ました。ショップに帰るとシャワーもありその後観光にもすぐ行けたので助かりました。全体的にあまり説明がなくドライな対応だなと感じたので、慣れた方や煩わしい説明が入らない方はオススメのショップだと思います。
