All Reviews for Okinawa Stargazing

I don't often go to the beach at night, and since I was traveling alone, I felt a bit nervous as I headed to the meeting point. Then, the cheerful guide, Nao, appeared, instantly creating a fun atmosphere.

Before long, we were walking together and saw beautiful butterflies, stick insects, impressive spiders, and frogs with round eyes. At first, I was surprised, but Nao's heartfelt and detailed stories about "these little ones" gradually made me feel attached to them. I was almost ready to give up on seeing a coconut crab, but to my luck, I encountered one, and then another, and eventually three of them waiting on the path! Some quickly hid, while others boldly posed for the camera.

They were purple and had a magnificent appearance. I was really glad to meet them! The photos Nao sent later captured each of these wonderful creatures beautifully. She kindly asked participants to focus on observing, which I really appreciated. After returning home, I looked through each photo and remembered the fun time I had walking around with the guide and the other participants. Thank you so much, Nao!

夜の海岸にはなかなか行かないし、一人旅でもあることから、少しドキドキしながら集合場所へ。
すると元気なガイドの奈央さんが現れ、一気に楽しい雰囲気になりました。

みんなで歩くまもなく、美しいチョウやナナフシ、立派なクモ、つぶらな瞳のカエルたち。最初はびっくりしましたが、奈央さんの「この子たち」についての愛情あふれる詳しいお話に、自分も次第に愛着が湧いてきました。
なかなかヤシガニに会えず、諦めかかっていたのに、なんとラッキーなことに、まず1匹、しばらくするとまた1匹と、次々3匹も道で待ち構えていてくれました。そそくさ隠れる子や、見得を切るかのごとく、堂々とカメラ目線をくれる子も。
紫がかっていて、立派な姿。出会えて本当によかったです！
奈央さんが後で送ってくれたお写真、どれもコレもくっきりステキに出会った子たちを撮ってくれてました。参加者は見ることに専念してくださいね、とのことで、とてもありがたかったです。
帰ってきてから、一つ一つ写真を見て、ガイドさんや参加した方たちと楽しく一緒に歩き回ったことを思い出してます。
奈央さん、本当にどうもありがとうございました！

The stars were more beautiful than I had imagined, and it was wonderful! I didn't have any poses prepared, but I was given recommendations for poses and was able to take lovely photos! I was moved by the stunning pictures that exceeded my expectations! It became the best memory of my trip. Thank you very much!

想像していた以上に星がキレイでとてもよかったです！ポーズも何も用意していなかったのですが、おすすめのポーズなど教えて頂き、素敵な写真を撮って頂けました！期待を上回るキレイなお写真で感動しました！1番の旅の思い出になりました。ありがとうございました！

I was worried about the weather, so I made a reservation the day before, but the booking process went smoothly. I saw photos from others on social media and was really looking forward to it, but the starry sky was even more beautiful than I imagined, and I was truly moved. I was surprised to see the Milky Way with my own eyes! Thank you for taking such wonderful photos of the beautiful starry sky! I would definitely like to request this again when I visit Miyako Island!

天気が不安だったので、前日に予約しましたがスムーズに予約ができました。
他の方の写真をSNSでみて、とても綺麗だなと期待していましたが、想像以上に綺麗な星空で感動しました。
肉眼で天の川を見れるなんでびっくりです！
本当に綺麗な星空で素敵な写真を撮っていただき、ありがとうございました！
また宮古島を訪れた際は、是非お願いしたいです！

The staff were very kind, and the photos were wonderful. They provided detailed guidance on posing, and the explanations about the stars were easy to understand, allowing us to have a fantastic time. The starry sky and the Milky Way were breathtaking. Thank you for a truly wonderful experience! I would like to visit again for stargazing next time.

スタッフさんはとても親切で、写真はとても素敵でした。
ポージングも細かくお声掛けいただき、星の説明もわかりやすく、素敵な時間を過ごすことができました。
満天の星空、天の川に感動です。
本当に素晴らしい体験をありがとうございました♪
次は天体観測でお伺いしたいです。

I was very happy to see three coconut crabs! The stargazing was also blessed with good weather, and I was able to see the stars beautifully. I also learned some tips on how to take beautiful photos!

ヤシガニは3匹も見ることができてとても嬉しかったです！
星空鑑賞についてはお天気にも恵まれて綺麗にみれましたし、綺麗な写真の撮り方のコツも教えていただけました！

I went with low expectations since it was said that stargazing would be difficult at this time of year. However, while being directed by the photographer on how to pose, I was skeptical, but the footage I was shown was fantastic and enchanting. My daughter and I were thrilled that we signed up for the tour. The professional photography experience, which you can't get with a smartphone, was incredibly valuable. I fell even more in love with Miyako Island! Next year, I want to challenge myself with daytime photography!

時期的に星空は難しいと言われての参加でしたから、期待はせず向かいました。カメラマンの方にポーズを指示されながら、半信半疑でしたが見せてもらった映像は、幻想的で素晴らしく感動して、娘とツアーを申し込んで良かったねと喜んでいました。スマホでは経験出来ないプロの撮影は大変価値があるものでした。宮古島が更に大好きになりました！来年は、昼間の撮影に挑戦したいです！

The path was dark, so I was really worried if I was going the right way, but when I arrived, I saw a beautiful starry sky like I had never seen before! The staff were easy to talk to, and they took beautiful photos, making it a wonderful memory. Thank you very much!

道中は暗い道を行くので本当にあっているか不安になりましたが、ついてみると見たこともないほどの綺麗な星空でした！
スタッフも話しやすく、綺麗な写真を撮っていただき最高の思い出となりました。
ありがとうございました！

I have always loved stars, and I heard that Miyako Island has one of the best night skies in Japan, so I decided to participate. The view is incredibly beautiful even to the naked eye, but in photographs, you can see even more stars, and it's truly stunning. I received photos that will be lifelong memories. Thank you very much!

元々星が好きで、宮古島は日本有数の星空が見れると聞き、参加しました。
肉眼でも非常に綺麗ですが、写真にすると、よりたくさんの星が写っていて本当に綺麗です。一生の思い出になる写真がいただけました。
ありがとうございました！

I felt a bit anxious in the dark sea, but the staff were very attentive and made me feel at ease while participating! The conversation was enjoyable, and I was glad to hear about the recommended spots in Miyako Island at the end! Thank you very much!

暗闇の海で不安もありましたが、スタッフさんがとても丁寧に対応して下さり安心しながら参加できました！お話も楽しかったですし、最後宮古島のオススメスポットも聞けて良かったです！ありがとうございました！

I had a photoshoot at Munusun Beach on Kurima Island.

The stars were clear, so I could see the Milky Way beautifully.

There were quite a few people aside from those taking photos, but I managed to get about ten shots in a place without anyone around.

The next day, I received the photos! They turned out very beautifully, and I am satisfied.

来間島のムヌスン浜で撮影して頂きました。

星は晴れていたので天の川も綺麗に見れました。

写真撮影以外の人も結構いましたが、人のいない所で10枚程度撮って頂きました。

翌日には写真を頂きました！
とても綺麗に撮れており満足です。

We participated in this as a celebration of our one-year anniversary! Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience that we've never had before. ☺️
We hadn't decided on any poses for the photos, but with your detailed instructions and suggestions that suited us, it turned into the best time.
Even when there were a few clouds, we appreciated your thoughtfulness in waiting for the weather to clear so we could take great photos. I was a bit nervous at first, but all the staff were friendly and warm, which helped me relax during the shoot!
After the shoot, you shared many recommendations for spots on the island from a local's perspective, which was fantastic!
I’m really looking forward to seeing the finished photos. If there's another opportunity, I would love to work with you again!

今回は交際1年記念として参加させていただきました！本当に今までにない素敵な体験をありがとうございました☺️
写真を撮るポーズなど何も決めていなかったのですが、細かい丁寧な指示や私たちに合った提案をしていただき最高の時間となりました
雲が少しかかった際も、いい写真が撮れるように晴れるまで待ってくださり、心遣いもとても嬉しかったです。最初は少し緊張していたのですが、スタッフの方全員気さくであたたかな方でとてもリラックスして撮影できました！
撮影の後は、島でのおすすめスポットを島に住んでいるからこその視点でたくさん教えていただきました！
出来上がりの写真がとても楽しみです
また機会があればよろしくお願いします！

We participated with three children. Just seeing the beautiful starry sky, which you can't see in the city, is worth it. My wife's flip-flop strap broke, and she cut her foot on a rock, but since there were other guests waiting for their reservation, I think we were pressed for time, yet they kindly provided first aid, which was a great help. The photos were also wonderful. I definitely want to request this again next year.

3人の子供連れで参加いたしました。
街中では見られない綺麗な星空をみるだけでも充分価値があります。
妻のビーチサンダルの鼻緒が切れて岩で足を切ってしまったのですが、次の予約の方もいらっしゃったので、時間も押していたと思いますが、丁寧に応急処置をしていただき大変助かりました。
写真も素晴らしかったです。
是非、来年もお願いしたいと思っています。

This is my second time taking starry sky photos in Miyako Island, and this time I made a reservation here. I didn't think about poses or anything, but they gave me instructions, which was really helpful! When I saw the finished photos, the Milky Way was captured, and they turned out beautifully. I'm very satisfied. Thank you! I would like to request this again when I come back to Miyako Island! ♪

宮古島での星空写真は2回目なのですが、今回はこちらで予約しました。ポーズとか何も考えずにいたのですが、指示してくれたので助かりました！
できあがった写真を見たら、天の川も写っており素敵な写真になりました。とっても満足です。ありがとうございました！また宮古島に来た時はお願いしたいです♪

I had an amazing experience and took some unforgettable photos! The person who took the photos was very kind and suggested many poses, which was really helpful! The finished photos turned out great! Also, the location where we took the photos had the most beautiful starry sky I've ever seen in my life! Honestly, I felt like I was in a planetarium! If I have the chance again, I would love to do this again! Thank you so much for everything!

とても最高な思い出に残る写真を撮っていただきました！
撮っていただいた方もとても優しく、ポーズも沢山提案していただき助かりました！
完成した写真もとても良かったです！
また、写真を撮っていただいた場所が今までの人生で一番綺麗な星空を見ることができました！
お世辞ではなく本当にプラネタリウムの中にいるかと思いました！
また機会があればよろしくお願いします！
この度は本当にありがとうございました！

I had a wonderful experience with various shots taken, creating beautiful memories!

The guidance to the shooting location and the parking instructions in the dark were thorough, allowing me to enjoy the shoot with peace of mind and relaxation.

At the end, I was also given recommendations for spots in Miyako Island, and I felt, "I'm glad I chose this plan."

様々なショットで撮影をしていただき、
素敵な思い出ができました！

撮影現場までの案内、
暗闇下での駐車場案内も丁寧で、
安心して、リラックスしながら撮影を楽しむことができました。

最後には宮古島のおすすめスポットについても教えていただき、「このプランにしてよかった」と思いました。

I was worried about the weather being unstable on the reservation date, but they contacted me and changed it to the next day, allowing me to see everything beautifully on the best day. It was just like the image I had seen in photos, and it felt like a planetarium; I was really moved. I'm so glad I did it!

Additionally, after the experience, they introduced me to many recommended shops in Miyako Island, and their service was excellent!

予約日が天気が安定しておらず心配していたら連絡くださり、翌日に変更してベストな日に綺麗な見ることができた。写真で見てたイメージのまんまを現地で見れてプラネタリウムみたいでとっても感動でした。やって本当によかったです！
また、体験後に宮古島のおすすめのお店などもたくさん紹介してくださり対応がよかったです！

I was able to see the Milky Way with my own eyes, and it was truly moving. Although the weather was a bit concerning, they patiently waited until the clouds cleared and taught us about the stars. The atmosphere was very friendly and pleasant throughout the entire experience!

肉眼で天の川を見ることができ、感動しました。
雲行きが少し不安でしたが、雲無くなるまで待機させて頂けたり、星について教えていただけたり、非常にフレンドリーで終始和やかな雰囲気で撮影頂けました！

I heard that it would be a moon photo since it was close to a full moon, which was fine, but I really wanted to see the stars. Fortunately, the weather was great, and the stars were incredibly beautiful. I could even see the Milky Way with the naked eye. When I mentioned that I wanted something dreamy and couldn't decide on a pose, they took some very enchanting photos for me. They were really nice and also recommended great places to eat! Thanks to this tour, I was very satisfied from the first day of my solo trip! I would love to do it again. Highly recommended!

満月に近かったため月フォトになるって聞いてて、それはそれでよかったけどやっぱり星がいいなぁって思っていたら天気に恵まれてすごく綺麗な星でした。肉眼でも天の川が見れました。私がポーズを決めかねて幻想的なのがいいってアバウトに行ったらとても幻想的な写真を撮ってくれました。すごくいい方でおすすめの食事の場所も教えてくれました！1人旅の初日からこのツアーのおかげですごく満足できました！またお願いしたいです。おすすめです！

Chitose, our guide, cheerfully explained the ecology of Miyako Island, and I thought it was fine even if we couldn't see the coconut crab! However, we were able to find the coconut crab, and we also got to see a beautiful starry sky, so I was very satisfied!

ガイドのチトセさんは元気に明るく宮古島の生態を説明してくれて、ヤシガニが見られなくても楽しいからいいや！と思っていたけど…ヤシガニも見つけることができ、綺麗な星空も見れて大満足です！

I participated with my 6-year-old child! The tour guide was lively and explained everything clearly, which was great. My child was also satisfied to see the coconut crab! I definitely want to use this service again when we come back to Miyako Island.

6歳の子どもと参加しました！
ツアーガイドのお兄さんもノリが良く説明も分かりやすく良かったです(^^)
子どももヤシガニが見れて満足そうです！
また宮古島に来た際には、ぜひ利用したいと思います。

I rarely have the opportunity to see nocturnal creatures, so I was satisfied to see a coconut crab for the first time. I was also grateful to the guide for searching for and explaining the coconut crab and other creatures!

なかなか夜の生き物に生き物を見る機会もなく、ヤシガニは初めて見ることができ満足でした。
ガイドの方も、ヤシガニや他の生き物を探して説明してくださりありがたかったです！

They were very considerate, and I was able to enjoy an adventure even in the rain. I found a coconut crab! It seems perfect for a break during the trip.

色々気を使ってくれ雨天でも楽しく冒険できました。ヤシガニ見つかりました！
旅行中休みにちょうど良さそうです。

I was able to find out the best time to see the first star clearly and capture a perfect photo of the Milky Way! ✩.*˚
The meeting place was a bit uncertain, making me wonder, "Is this really the right spot?" but it's fine to trust Google Maps and go! Haha
I'm really glad I could create wonderful memories in Miyako Island!

1番星が綺麗に見える時間を調べてくださり、天の川までバッチリ写真におさめることができました✩.*˚
集合場所は、え？ここであってる？と不安になるような場所でしたが、Googleマップを信じて行って大丈夫です！笑
宮古島の素敵な思い出を作ることができて本当に良かったです！

I saw such a beautiful starry sky for the first time in my life! The photographer was kind, and we took pictures in a great atmosphere while listening to music. The photos they took were incredibly moving! I want to go take pictures again!

人生で初めてこんな綺麗な星空を見た！カメラマンさん優しくて、音楽を聴きながらいい雰囲気で撮影しました。撮って下さった写真すごく感動！また写真撮りに行きたい！

One of my memories from Miyako Island is participating in a night photo tour. I was moved by the starry sky that can only be seen in Miyako Island. With that beautiful starry sky as a backdrop, I was able to take wonderful photos and enjoy a romantic time. The background music and the sound of the waves were also fantastic! The shooting time flew by because it was so much fun, and thanks to the warm encouragement from the staff, I felt at ease during the shoot. This year, I was able to create another summer memory in Okinawa. Thank you very much!

宮古島での思い出の一つとして、ナイトフォトツアーに参加させていただきました。
まず宮古島でしかみれない星空に感動しました。
その星空をバックに素敵な写真を撮っていただいて、ロマンチックな時間を味わうことができました。
BGMと波音も最高でした！
撮影時間は、楽しくてあっという間でしたが、スタッフの方の温かい声かけもあり、安心して撮影することができました。
今年も沖縄での夏の思い出を一つ増やすことができました。ありがとうございました！

I participated as a memory for my honeymoon. I was able to see the most beautiful starry sky I've ever seen in my life, and the photos turned out really beautifully, so I am very satisfied. It became a very memorable time, perfect for the last day of our honeymoon! The photographer was also very kind and even taught us about recommended spots in Miyako Island, which was very thoughtful! I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

新婚旅行での記念に参加させていただきました。
今まで生きてきた中で1番綺麗な星空がみれて、写真もすごく綺麗に撮ってくださり満足です。
新婚旅行の最終日にふさわしい、とても思い出に残る時間となりました！！
カメラマンさんもすごく優しく、宮古島のオススメの場所まで教えて下さりとても親切でした！
また機会があれば参加したいです。

We were blessed with great weather and were able to see the most beautiful starry sky we've ever experienced. The tour guide who took our photos was friendly, very funny, and made it a lot of fun! Although we weren't used to having our pictures taken, he helped us by suggesting poses, so we were able to get some really amazing photos. We are truly very satisfied!! We definitely want to use this service again when our family grows!

天気にも恵まれて今まででダントツ1番に綺麗な星空をみることができました。
撮影して頂くツアーのお兄さんも気さくで、
すごく面白くて楽しかったです！
写真を撮られ慣れてない私たちですが、
困っていたらポーズの指定もしてくれるので
すごくすごくいい写真を取ることができました。
本当に大満足です！！
また家族が増えた時に絶対に利用したいです！！

I was moved to see a large coconut crab. Walking through the pitch-black nature was a very rare experience that was thrilling and exciting. Chitose, our guide, explained everything clearly and thoroughly, making it a fun tour! I want to participate again.

大きなヤシガニが見れて感動しました。真っ暗な自然の中を歩くなんてとても貴重な体験でドキドキわくわくでした。ガイドしたくださったちとせさんが丁寧にわかりやすく説明してくださり楽しいツアーになりました！また参加したいです。

I was able to see a night sky like I've never seen before with my own eyes! The photos taken were even better! The Milky Way was beautifully captured. They quickly accommodated each of my children's requests to take photos, and it was a wonderful shooting time accompanied by lovely music. I was also happy to receive a list of recommended shops afterward.

今までに見た事ない星空を肉眼でも見れました！
撮っていただいた写真はそれ以上！！
天の川も綺麗に映ってました。
子供達が1人づつ撮りたいという要望にもすぐに対応してくれて、素敵な音楽と共に素敵な撮影時間でした。
終わった後におすすめのお店リストをもらえたのも嬉しかったです。

My 7-year-old daughter couldn't contain her excitement.
Walking around at night, she saw so many creatures and beautiful natural landscapes.
Each was a first-time experience for her.

I think the word "amazing" has been used many times, but this time, it was at the highest level.
While walking, the explanations about the creatures, the rocks, and the starry sky were incredibly interesting!
It also connected to learning.

The thrill and excitement of discovery!
I believe we wouldn't have experienced this without this opportunity.

I am grateful for the wonderful experience we had.
Thank you! (^ ^)

7歳の娘は、ワクワクが止まりません。
夜中に出歩き、見た生き物の数々。
自然の風景。
どれも初めての体験でした。

「すご〜い」という言葉は何度も使ったことがある言葉かと思いますが、今回の「すご〜い」は最上級ランクです。
歩きながら、生き物の説明、岩の説明、星空の説明など、すごく面白い！
学びにも繋がります。

発見したときのドキドキとワクワク感！
この体験をしなければ味わえなかったと思います。

素晴らしい体験が出来たことに感謝します。
ありがとうございました(^ ^)
