All Reviews for Okinawa Stargazing

The day I arrived in Miyako Island was exactly on a full moon, so I asked a professional to take photos as a keepsake. It was a short amount of time, but there were so many beautiful pictures! Thank you!

宮古島に到着した当日がちょうど満月だったので記念にプロの方にお願いしました。あっという間の時間でしたが、すごく綺麗な写真がいっぱいでした！ありがとうございました！

The photos were taken very beautifully! I was also able to take my favorite poses, so I was very satisfied! Thank you! I think it's the best memory for the anniversary!

とても綺麗に撮影いただきました！
また、好きなポーズも撮影いただけたので、とても満足でした！ありがとうございました！
記念日の思い出としても最高だと思います！

I was able to take wonderful photos. It was really great because I can't capture such a beautiful starry sky with my own camera.

素敵な写真を撮っていただきました。
自分のカメラではあんなにきれいな星空を映し出すことができないのですごく良かったです。

I had a photo taken of the full moon. It turned out very beautifully, and I was satisfied. It became a wonderful memory. If I have the chance to go to Miyako Island again, I would like to request a starry sky photo as well.

満月で月の写真を撮っていただきました。
とても綺麗に撮れていて、満足でした。とてもいい思い出になりました。
次にまた宮古島へ行く事がありましたら、
星空フォトもお願いしたいと思います。

It was my first time seeing such a beautiful starry sky, and I was truly moved by how wonderful the photos turned out!

あこまで綺麗な星空見れたの初めてでしたし、あんな素敵な写真が撮れるのかと本当に感動しました！

The tour starts just 0 minutes from the parking lot.

I really appreciated that I didn't have to walk unnecessarily!

There were various creatures, and it was interesting. There weren't any animals, but there were fireflies! ✨

The best part was the stars. The number of stars was comparable to a planetarium! It was amazing.

Above all, it was great that there was no unnecessary movement from the parking lot! I'm glad I chose this tour!

It's also very considerate that cancellations on the day of the tour are free! The other guests on the tour said they participated in another tour during the day and decided to join this night tour. ✨

駐車場から0分でツアースタート

無駄に歩きたくないのでとてもよかったです！

いろんな生き物がいて面白かったです
動物はいませんでしたが
ホタルがいましたよ✨

一番よかったのは星です
プラネタリウム顔負けのほしの数でした！すばらしかったです。


なにより駐車場から無駄な移動がないのがとてもよかったです！
このツアーにしてよかったです！


ツアー当日のキャンセルも無料との事でとても良心的です！！
一緒のツアーだった他のお客さんは昼間にこちらの他のツアーに参加し、この夜のツアーに参加することにしたそうです✨

After a few cloudy days, the tour finally took place on the third day, and I was able to take beautiful photos. ^_^
I recommend that anyone who definitely wants to take photos of the starry sky sign up from the night of their arrival in Miyako Island. ⭐︎
The staff were friendly and kind, so I would like to request their services again when I visit Miyako Island. ( ^ω^ )

曇りの日が続き、3日目でようやくツアーが催行されて綺麗な写真を撮ってもらえました^_^
絶対に星空の写真を撮ってから帰りたいという方は宮古島に到着した日の晩から申し込みをすることをお勧めします⭐︎
スタッフの方も気さくで優しかったので、また宮古島に訪れた際にはお願いしたいと思います( ^ω^ )

On my first trip to Miyako Island, I joined a tour for searching for coconut crabs and stargazing. The day I originally booked was rainy, but when I called, they were able to change it to the next day, even on short notice. I went in light clothing and sandals, and it was no problem at all. We discovered countless coconut crabs, from large ones to small ones. Additionally, I learned a lot about various plants and insects that I don't usually see, which was very enjoyable. The stargazing was also memorable, as they provided detailed information about the stars and constellations.

初めての宮古島で初めてのヤシガニ探しと星空観察ツアー。
当初予約していた日が雨天で、 お電話したら当日にも関わらず次の日に変えて頂けました。
服装は軽装でサンダルで行きましたが問題ありませんでした。
ヤシガニは大きな物から小さな物まで数え切れないくらい発見出来ました。他、あまり見る事の無い植物や昆虫や 色々詳しく説明してもらえて とても楽しかったです。
星空も星座など詳しく教えてもらったり思い出になりました。

The day of the shoot, it seems the moon set late, so we started shooting at 1 AM. We drove directly to the golf course where the shoot took place, but it was so dark that it was a bit scary! However, once we got out of the car, the sky was filled with stars, and I was truly moved!!

It seems like the shoot was a busy day, and it ended in no time. The photos we received are really beautiful, and they are my favorites. Thank you for the wonderful memories of the trip.

撮影の日は月が沈むのが遅かったらしく、夜中の1時からの撮影でした。
車で直接撮影場所のゴルフ場まで行きましたが、暗闇すぎて怖かったです！
でも車を出ると空一面の星空で感動しました！！

撮影は忙しい日だったらしくあっとゆーまに終わりました。
届いた写真はすごく素敵でお気に入りです。
旅のいい思い出をありがとうございました。

I was truly moved by the night sky, which was unlike anything I had ever seen before. During the shoot, I was able to see many shooting stars, with one appearing every few seconds. The staff also shared a lot of information about delicious restaurants and tourist spots in Miyako Island. Thanks to them, it became a wonderful trip. Thank you!

今まで見たことのないような星空で本当に感動しました。数秒に一度は流れ星が流れるような状況で撮影中もたくさんの流れ星を見ることができました。スタッフの方には宮古島の美味しいご飯やさんや、観光スポットなどもたくさん教えていただきました。おかげで素敵な旅になりました。ありがとうございました！

I saw such a beautiful starry sky for the first time. It was also my first time seeing the Milky Way, and I was moved. I got some wonderful photos taken. It's the best!

初めてあんな綺麗な星空を見ました。天の川を見れたのも初めてで感動しました。
素敵な写真を撮って頂きました。最高です

I participated because I wanted to see coconut crabs with my child. During the day, I walked the course while checking the meeting place, but it was completely different between day and night. The subtropical plants were lush, and it was humid with no breeze, just like a jungle.

Once we ventured in, we encountered a big-sized golden orb-weaver spider! After that, we saw hermit crabs, the natural monument coconut crabs, and some other crabs! We also spotted a gecko eating and even saw a cockroach—creatures that you wouldn't see during the day, creating an exciting atmosphere.

Staff member Nakao also pushed through spider webs and stumbled on rocks, putting in a lot of effort to catch and show us various creatures. It was an amazing experience!

　子供とヤシガニを見たくて参加しました。
日中、集合場所の下見がてらコースを歩いては、いたのですが、昼と夜では大違い。
　亜熱帯植物が生い茂り、風も通らず湿度の高いところがまさにジャングル。
　いざ突入すると、ビッグサイズのジョロウグモ！その後にヤドカリ、天然記念物のヤシガニやなんとかガニ！またヤモリが食事をしていたり、ゴキブリが見れたりと昼間には見られない生き物、雰囲気がありドキドキです。
　スタッフのナカオさんも蜘蛛の巣をかき分けたり、岩に足をとられながらも体を張って、色々な生き物を捕まえて見せてくれました。
　貴重な体験が出来て最高でした。
　

Unfortunately, it was canceled due to bad weather on the day, but they rescheduled for the next day, allowing us to try again. There were a few clouds, but we were able to take photos at the right moment, and they turned out beautifully. The Milky Way was also stunning and left us in awe. Thank you for your flexible arrangements.

当日はあいにくの天気で中止になりましたが、翌日に変更してくださり再チャレンジ。
少し雲もありましたが、タイミング良く写真を撮ってもらいとても綺麗な写真が撮れました。
天の川も綺麗で感動でした。
色々と柔軟な対応をして頂きありがとうございました。

I participated in a reservation on the first day of my arrival in Miyako Island. The weather forecast predicted rain, but it only rained when I arrived at the airport in the morning. After that, it was sunny with occasional clouds. Just as the ANA flight attendant said, "The weather forecast for Miyako Island is 70% inaccurate, so you’ll be fine."

At night, there were clouds, but I could still see stars from the hotel, so I headed to the designated beach at 21:10. When I got out of the car, the sky was filled with stars ⭐️. The Milky Way was also visible. I told the staff my name, and after the previous group finished, it was time for the shoot. In addition to the poses we had decided on in advance, we did six shots with recommended poses from the photographer. After the shoot, they let me check the photos on the camera, and I was moved by the results that far exceeded my expectations! Requesting the penlight option was definitely a great decision.

After the shoot, the staff shared many recommendations for Miyako Island with me. I plan to request this again next time. I highly recommend it to everyone!

Also, it's a good idea to use insect repellent spray.

宮古島到着初日に予約して参加しました。
天気予報は雨でしたが、降っていたのは午前中に空港に着いた時だけ。
その後は、晴れ時々曇り。
行きのANAのCAさんが、「宮古島の天気予報は70%外れるから大丈夫です」と言った通りでして。

夜、雲は出ていましたがホテルからも星は見えていたので、21:10に指定のビーチに。
車を降りてみると満天の星⭐️
天の川も見えます。
スタッフの方に名前を告げて、前の方が終わってからいざ撮影。
事前に決めていたポーズに加え、カメラマンの方のおすすめポーズで6カット。
撮影後にカメラで写真もちゃんと確認させてくれます。
想像を遥かに越えた出来栄えで感動！
ペンライトのオプションもお願いして大正解でした。

撮影後、スタッフの方に宮古島のおすすめも沢山教えていただきました。
次回もまたお願いしようと思います。
皆さんにもお勧めです！

なお、虫除けスプレーさして行った方がいいですよ。

I was worried about whether I could see the stars because of the rain forecast, but it cleared up and I was able to see many stars! They also listened to my photo requests and suggested great poses, which was really nice! Thank you for a wonderful time!

雨予報だったので、星が観れるか心配でしたが、無事晴れて沢山の星を見ることができました！写真もリクエストなど聞いてくれたりオススメのポーズを教えてくれてとても良かったです！素敵な時間をありがとうございました

Instead of a stargazing spot, we rented a golf course for outdoor photography, allowing us to enjoy the starry sky without being disturbed by others. The finished photos turned out to be very lovely.

星空スポットではなくゴルフ場を借りて野撮影のため、他の人に邪魔されることなく満天の星空を楽しみながら撮影できました。
出来上がったお写真もとてもステキでした。

The result was amazing, and the response was quick! I made great memories! Thank you very much! I definitely want to use it again!

すごい出来上がりもよくクイック対応でした！いい思い出できました！ありがとございます！是非また利用したいと思います！

I participated in the tour because I wanted to experience Miyako Island at night, even though there are many daytime tours available. It was truly enjoyable to see not only the coconut crab but also various creatures among the subtropical plants. I was particularly moved by the coconut crab and the fireflies! I wouldn't have been able to find them on my own...

The guide carefully explained the stars in the sky, including those I couldn't identify. Seeing the Milky Way was the highlight.

There were also families with small children, so I think it's a tour that both adults and kids can participate in with peace of mind.

I thought I would like to join again when I come in a different season. I heard that in different seasons, you can encounter different creatures, plants, and stars.

昼のツアーは、いっぱいあるが、夜の宮古島を体験したくて参加しました。亜熱帯特有の植物の中でヤシガニだけでなく、いろんな生き物が見られて本当に楽しい時間でした。ヤシガニ、ホタルが特に感動しました！！自分じゃ見つけられないので、、、
空一面の星空も自分じゃ分からない星もガイドさんが丁寧に説明してくださいました。天の川が見れたのが最高でした。

小さいお子さん連れの方もおられて、大人だけでなく、子供も安心して参加出来るツアーだと思います。

また、違う季節に来た時に参加したいとおもいました。違う季節だと違う生き物、植物、星に出会えたそうですし。

On the day of the reservation, it was cloudy and we couldn't see the starry sky. However, I was able to change the date to the next day! Since a typhoon was approaching, it was uncertain if we could take photos the following day, but it cleared up, and the stars were beautifully visible. I'm glad we were able to shoot without any issues! They also taught us various poses, and after confirming, they let us retake some shots. The entire photo session was smooth and very enjoyable!

予約当日は曇りで星空が見えなくて
次の日に変更出来たので変更してもらいました！
台風が近づいていたので次の日も撮れるか微妙でしたが晴れてくれて星がとても綺麗に見えて
撮影も無事出来たので良かったです！
ポージングも色々教えてくれたりして
確認した後に撮り直しもしてくれて
撮影もスムーズでとても良かったです！

We requested a commemorative photo for our family trip. I was concerned that it might be difficult since our children are small and it was late at night, but the photographer was attentive not only to the kids but also to us as a couple, allowing us to take photos with peace of mind. We were able to capture a night sky like we had never seen before, creating memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you very much.

家族旅行の思い出に記念撮影をお願いしました。
子供も小さく、夜中と言うことでいろいろと大変になりそうだなと思っていましたが、子供だけでなく、我々夫婦に対しても細かい気遣いをして頂き、安心して撮影をすることが出来ました。
今まで見たことない星空を写真に残すことが出来て一生の思い出を作ることができました。
ありがとうございました。

On July 16, I participated with my family! When I received the confirmation of our reservation, it said the meeting time was 25:10, and I honestly felt anxious thinking, "Is that midnight??"

On the day of the event, I nervously went to the meeting place at the beach. When I got out of the car and looked up at the sky, I was amazed by the breathtaking starry sky! According to the tour company, they change the timing every day to ensure we see the best stars! True to their word, we could clearly see the Milky Way with the naked eye, along with shooting stars. They used a light to show us the Milky Way, which looked like a white misty band among the countless stars, and we took photos with it as the backdrop! It was incredibly magical, and the stars looked absolutely beautiful in the pictures.

I was so moved that I can't even put it into words. Thank you very much!

P.S. The tour guides were very friendly and not only shared about the starry sky but also recommended snorkeling spots and dining places. I definitely want to check them out!

7/16に家族で参加！
申し込み確定の連絡がきたときに推行時間25:10と書いてあり真夜中？？と正直不安になりました。
当日恐る恐る集合場所の浜へ行き車を降りて空を見上げると鳥肌が立つくらいの満点の星空！！
ツアー会社さん曰く…最高の星空を見てほしいので毎日時間帯が違いますとの事！
その言葉通り流れ星は勿論肉眼でもはっきり天の川を見る事ができました。
沢山の星の中に白い靄のような帯が天の川ですよ。とライトを使って教えて下さりその天の川をバックに撮影！
とても幻想的で星空もめちゃくちゃ綺麗に写ってました。
言葉にならないくらいの感動です。
ありがとうございました。

追伸…
ツアーガイドさん達がとても気さくで星空だけでなくお薦めのシュノーケリングスポットや食事場所を教えて下さいました。
是非行ってみたいと思います！

I thought I could capture the starry sky of Miyako Island with my own camera, so I didn't make a reservation until the day of, but I couldn't take any photos. I quickly made a reservation and participated! The starry sky was stunning, the Milky Way was visible to the naked eye, and I saw many shooting stars! The conversation about Miyako Island after the shooting was also very enjoyable, and I really felt it was worth it. They even chose the best time to see the Milky Way (for us, it was at 12:30 AM), and the photos they took became a treasured memory that I will cherish for a lifetime.

実際に宮古島の星空を自分の一眼で撮れると思い、当日まで予約してなかったのですが、撮れず、急遽予約し参加させていただきました！
満点の星空が見え、天の川が肉眼で見え、流れ星もたくさん見えました！
撮影のあとの宮古島トークもとても楽しく、本当に頼んで良かったなと思いました。
天の川が1番綺麗に見える時間も選んでくれて（自分たちは24時半でした）、実際に撮ってくれた写真は一生記憶に残る宝物になりました。

The city was bright, and I was a bit worried because I couldn't see many stars, but the meeting place at the beach had a beautiful starry sky, and I was able to take photos just like in the examples.

One thing to note is that the road to the shooting location is quite dark, so it's best to allow extra time and drive safely. Also, since the beach is dark and the rocky area you climb during the shoot can be tricky, wearing sandals that are easy to climb in and won't slip off would be safer.

市内は明るく、あまり星見えなかったので少し心配でしたが集合場所のビーチは星空が広がっていて見本通りの写真を撮影していただけました

注意点は撮影場所までの道がかなり暗いので時間に余裕を持って安全運転で向かう事と、ビーチも暗い&撮影時に登る岩場に登りやすい脱げにくいサンダルだとより安全かと感じました◎

The shooting location had an incredibly beautiful starry sky visible to the naked eye, which was surprising. The photographer was very experienced and smoothly provided pose advice, allowing for natural shots. I received the photo data just a few days ago, and they are truly beautiful; I am very satisfied. I'm glad I participated. Thank you!

撮影場所は、肉眼でもものすごく綺麗な星空が見えて驚きました。カメラマンの方はとても慣れていて、ポーズのアドバイスなどスムーズに頂き、自然に撮る事が出来ました。つい先日写真のデータ頂きましたが、本当に綺麗で大満足です。参加してよかったです。ありがとうございました！

Two women nearing retirement participated. I was really glad I decided to join since I could never capture the starry sky with my own camera. I wasn't quite sure where the location was, but I heard it was close to the hotel, so I thought I would walk there. However, I was told it would be better not to because there were no streetlights, so even though it was close, I had them call a taxi to take me there. The taxi driver was a bit annoyed because it was too close, but it was definitely worth participating. The Milky Way was clearly visible, and the stars were shining brightly. The photographer was also very encouraging, which made for a great shooting experience. If I have the chance, I would love to visit Miyako Island again.

定年まじかの女子二人が参加しました。
自分のカメラでは絶対に星空は撮影できないので思い切って参加してよかったです。
場所がいまいちわからなかったのですがホテルから近いと聞いて、歩いて行こうと思いました。
でも外灯がないからやめた方がいいよと言われ、近いけどタクシーを
呼んでもらってその場所までいきました。
タクシーの運転手さんには近すぎて嫌がられましたが、参加して正解でした。
天の川は、はっきりと見えたし星が輝いていました。
カメラマンの人も上手にほめてくださるのでいい気分で撮影できました。
機会があったらまた宮古島に行きたいです。

The shooting depends on the weather, but I was very happy that they tried to capture the best moments. I'm looking forward to receiving the data!

撮影は天気によりますが、一番ベストな瞬間を残してくれようとしてくださりとても嬉しかったです。データが送られてくるのが楽しみです！

I arrived at the meeting time, but the weather was bad. I was able to wait until the clouds cleared and take the best photos! The location was also amazing, and after the shoot, I lay on the grass under the starry sky and gazed at it for a long time! It became a memorable trip! Thank you!!

集合時間に伺いましたが、空の調子が悪く、
雲が晴れるまで待って頂いて最高の写真を撮影することができました！
ロケーションも最高で、撮影した後に、
満天の星空の下、芝の上で寝転がってずっと眺めていました！
思い出の旅行になりました！ありがとうございます！！

Thank you for taking such beautiful photos. The data arrived the day after the shoot. The photographer was friendly and fun, and they also explained about the stars. I believe these are photos I could never take myself, so they will be a wonderful memory.

とっても綺麗に撮っていただいてありがとうございました。撮影した翌日にはデータが届きました。カメラマンの方が気さくで楽しくて、星の解説もしてくださいました。自分では撮れない写真だと思うので思い出に残ります。

I was able to see so many stars for the first time in my life! The photographer was very friendly and asked about my preferred poses for the shoot, which was very considerate. They also shared recommendations for spots in Miyako Island, allowing me to enjoy the following days even more!

生まれて初めてあんなにたくさんの星を見ることができました！カメラマンの方もすごくフレンドリーで、撮影も希望のポーズ等を聞いてくださり丁寧でした。また宮古島のおすすめスポットも教えてくださり、次の日からも楽しむことができました！

We traveled to Miyako Island for the first time as a parent and child! I wanted to preserve a memory from our trip, so I booked this tour! On the day of the tour, we were blessed with good weather and were both moved by the breathtaking starry sky visible to the naked eye. I took my mother there secretly, and she was very satisfied with the beautiful photos taken, which made me really happy ( ¨̮ ). I don't think I could have taken such wonderful pictures myself, so I’m really glad I made the reservation. Thank you very much!

初めての宮古島で親子で旅行しました！旅の記念を1つでも残したいと思い、こちらのツアーを予約しました！当日はお天気にも恵まれ肉眼でも満天の星空に親子で感動しました。 母には内緒で連れて行ったので、素敵な写真を撮ってもらいとても満足してくれて本当に良かったです( ¨̮ ) 自分ではこんなに素敵に撮れないと思うので、予約して本当に良かったです。ありがとうございました！
