All Reviews for Night Tours

I was informed in advance that while there would be a starry sky, depending on the season and time, there might be moonlight, so we would focus on shooting with the moonlight. On the day of the shoot, I was worried because it was cloudy, but the stars appeared just in time for the shooting, which was a relief. The actual shooting took about 30 minutes. I was asked if I had thought about the poses I wanted, but I hadn’t thought of anything... However, the photographer gave clear and prompt instructions on poses and positioning, allowing the shoot to proceed smoothly.

星空とありますが季節や時間によっては月明かりがあるので、月明かりを中心に撮影を進めます、と事前に連絡をいただいていました。当日は曇り空のため不安でしたが、撮影の時間には星空があらわれ一安心。撮影自体は３０分程度、とりたいポーズを考えてきましたか、と聞かれましたが、何も考えておらず・・・。しかし、カメラマンさんがポーズや位置どりなどの指示をテンポよくしてくださりスムーズに撮影を進めてくださいました。

Perhaps due to the rain during the day, there were some clouds, and I had given up on taking nice photos. However, when the clouds cleared a little, I was able to take photos very efficiently.

お昼の雨のせいもあってか、少し雲がかかっており、きれいな写真は撮れないなと諦めていました。が、少しだけ雲がはけたときにとても効率よく撮ってくれました。

The tour guide, Tsuru-chan, was the best part of the experience. Not only did we see many creatures, but he also provided detailed explanations for each one. It was great that he was kind and attentive to the children as well. We even got to see three coconut crabs! I would definitely like to use this service again.

*I would appreciate it if the time from gathering to the start of the tour could be shortened a bit.*

ツアーガイドのツルちゃんが何よりよかったです。
たくさんの生き物を見つけるだけでなく、それぞれ丁寧に説明してくれました。
子供達にも優しく声がけしてくれたのもよかったです。
ヤシガニも３匹も見れました！
またぜひ利用したいです。
※集合からツアー開始までの時間をもう少し短縮してもらえるとなお嬉しいです。

Since I went to Miyako Island for the first time during summer vacation, I wanted a family photo as a keepsake, so I requested a photoshoot this time. When we were guided to the shooting location, we saw many stars that looked like a planetarium, and the whole family was overjoyed. If the weather is clear, you can see the Milky Way in a sky full of stars. On this day, there wasn't a single cloud, so we could see many stars and the Milky Way clearly. The Milky Way also appeared beautifully in the background of the photos. We received mystical photos, and it turned out to be a wonderful family picture! Thank you!

夏休みに初めての宮古島へ行ったので、記念に家族写真が欲しくて、今回撮影をお願いしました。
撮影場所まで案内されて行くと、プラネタリウムのようなたくさんの星が見えて家族みんな大喜びでした。
晴れていれば満天の星空の中に天の川も見ることが出来ます。この日は雲ひとつなかったので、たくさんの星と天の川がハッキリと見ることが出来ました。写真にも天の川が背景で写りとてもキレイです。
神秘的な写真を撮っていただき、ステキな家族写真になりました！ありがとうございます！

Thank you for the detailed explanation about constellations; it was refreshing. I was touched to understand the background and significance. I appreciate the care taken in creating the photos from shooting to finishing. Thank you for the extraordinary experience.

星座の話を丁寧に説明していただき、新鮮でした。背景と意義を理解できプチ感動でした。写真は、撮影から仕上げまで丁寧に作成していただき感謝です。
非日常を体験できありがとうございました。

The service from the company was just terrible...

There may have been some mistakes on our part when making the reservation, but we are just ordinary travelers.

I don't even want to remember this anymore.

とにかく業者さんの対応が酷すぎて...

こちらの予約時の不手際もあるかもしれませんが､
こちらは単なる旅行者です｡

もう思い出したくも無いです｡

It became the best memory. The staff were very accommodating and taught me about Miyako Island. I usually don't write reviews like this, but I will. I recommend it.

最高の思い出になりました。
スタッフの方もとても対応が良く、宮古島の事も教えてくれました。
普段こういうのは書きませんが、レビューします。
オススメです。

I had my first experience taking photos of the starry sky, and it was beyond my expectations! Since the weather is a factor, it's not always guaranteed that you can see it, but I would love to come back. Thank you very much.

初めて、星空の写真を撮ってもらいましたが、想像以上でした！天気が相手なので、いつも見れるとは限らないですが、また来たいと思います。ありがとうございました。

This was my first time taking starry sky photos in Miyako Island. When it was time to shoot, it started to get a bit cloudy, and it began to rain a little, but the rain stopped halfway through, allowing us to resume the shoot! The staff gave various pose instructions and we were able to chat a lot, making the experience very enjoyable!

宮古島では初めて星空フォト。
いざ、撮る時になると若干曇り始め、途中から少し雨が降り始めましたが、途中で雨が止んで撮影再開することができました！おねえさんが色々なポーズの指示をくれたり、たくさんお話することができたのでとても楽しく撮影することができました！

It was a bit cloudy at first, which made me anxious, but thanks to the guide who quickly took photos at the right moments when the clouds parted, I was able to capture some stunning pictures! It was also great that the sample photos from the tour turned out just as they were shown, matching my expectations perfectly.

少々曇りで最初は不安でしたが、ガイドさんが雲の切れ目を狙って手早く撮影してくれたため、感動するお写真が撮れました！
ツアーの見本の写真がその通りに撮れて、イメージ通りだったこともとても良かったです

It was even more beautiful than seeing it at the sea, and they explained the stars to us. They also took beautiful photos, and we had a wonderful time! Thank you very much! ❁

海で見るより更に綺麗で
星の説明もしてくださり
写真も綺麗に撮ってくださり
素敵な時間を過ごせました！
ありがとうございました❁

The moonlight was strong, so we couldn't see many stars, but instead, we were able to take wonderful photos in various poses with the fantastic moon as a backdrop. Thank you!

月明かりが強くて星はあまり見えませんでしたが、その代わり幻想的な月をバックに色んなポーズで素晴らしい写真を撮っていただけました。
ありがとうございました！

I was a bit disappointed to hear that the photos would focus on the moon instead of the starry sky due to the moon's influence this time, but seeing the actual photos was simply wonderful! The guide was also very kind, and even though it was a short time, I really enjoyed it!

今回月の影響で星空ではなく月メインの写真になると聞いて少し残念に思っていましたが、実際の写真を見ると素晴らしいの一言でした！ガイドさんもすごく親切で短い時間でしたが楽しませてもらいました！

I was told that "the stars might not show up well because the moon is high," but we were able to capture a beautifully clear starry sky. The moon was beautiful, so we took many incredibly magical photos. I also learned a lot about posing, which allowed me to take some stunning pictures as souvenirs. I would love to do this again if the opportunity arises.

月が高い日に参加したため「あまり星は映らないかも」と言われていましたが、十分綺麗な星空と撮っていただきました
月が綺麗だったので、すごく幻想的な写真をたくさん撮っていただきました
ポージングなどもたくさん教えてもらったので、映え映えな写真をお土産にすることができました
またの機会があればお願いしたいです

The staff were very kind and took a lot of photos for us. It became a wonderful memory of our trip to Miyako Island. Next time, I would like to go when the stars are beautiful. Thank you very much.

スタッフさんも親切で凄く写真を撮ってくださいました。宮古島に来たいい思い出になりました。次回は星が綺麗に撮れる時に行きたいと思います。ありがとうございました

We participated as a couple. We were able to take many wonderful photos with the Scorpio constellation and the Milky Way perfectly captured. The time spent taking pictures in various poses under the starry sky became a lifelong memory. I'm really glad I signed up for this tour. The position of the stars changes depending on the season, the moon's position, and the time of day, so I would like to request another tour at a different time! Thank you very much!!

夫婦で参加しました。さそり座と天の川がばっちり写ったたくさんの素晴らしい写真を何枚も撮ってもらえました。満天の星空の下で、様々なポーズで写真を撮ってもらえる時間も一生の思い出になりました。
こちらのツアーに申し込んで本当に良かったです。時期や月の位置、時間帯によって星の位置は変わるので、今度は違う時期にまたお願いしたいと思ってます！ありがとうございました！！

The day before our visit to Miyako Island, it had been rainy. However, on the day of our reservation, we were greeted by a beautiful starry sky and wonderful staff. We took a taxi, and they welcomed us with flashlights, so we felt no anxiety even in the dark meeting place. We were able to see many stars and the Milky Way with the naked eye, but the photos sent to us the next morning sparkled with several times more stars than we saw in person, which was truly moving. The kind photographer even took care to ensure we had a taxi for our return. It became a wonderful memory.
We want to say a heartfelt thank you to the photographer, who is beautiful inside and out.

前日までは雨天だったという宮古島。予約の日はとてもきれいな星空と素適なスタッフさんが迎えてくれました。タクシーで行きましたが、フラッシュライトで合図しながら出迎えてくださり、暗い集合場所でも不安はありませんでした。肉眼でもたくさんの星と天の川を仰ぐことができましたが、翌朝送っていただいたお写真には、肉眼で見た星々の数倍も煌めいており感激致しました。帰りのタクシーの心配もしてくださるようなお優しいカメラマンさんでした。素適な思い出になりました。
We want to say a heartfelt thank you to the photographer, who is beautiful inside and out.

I had a wonderful time taking many beautiful photos. The starry sky over the golf course at night, which we couldn't capture ourselves. We lay down and waited until the clouds cleared. I'm glad I asked for help since it's difficult to take nice pictures with a smartphone.

素敵な写真たくさん撮ってもらいました。自分達では撮ることの出来ない夜のゴルフコースでの星空。雲抜けるまで寝そべって待って。スマホではなかなか綺麗に撮れないのでお願いして良かったです。

We participated as a family of five on the same day we arrived in Miyako Island. My elementary school son was looking forward to seeing a coconut crab, but I heard there are days when you can't see them, so we were a bit nervous. As we walked in the dark and shone our lights into every corner, we finally discovered a coconut crab, and my sons were thrilled. Hachi, our guide, was cheerful and provided a thorough and enjoyable experience.

The moon was beautiful, but we couldn't see many stars, so I would like to try again on another occasion. If I could wish for something, I would have liked one flashlight per person (perhaps because it was crowded during Golden Week), so I think it's better for those who can bring one to do so.

宮古島に到着した当日に家族５人で参加させていただきました。小学生の息子がヤシガニに会えるのを楽しみにしていたのですが、会えない日もあると聞いてドキドキでした。闇夜を歩き、隅々までまでライトを当てて探していると、ついにヤシガニを発見息子達は大興奮でした。担当していただいたハチさんも明るく、丁寧なガイドで楽しかったです。
月は綺麗でしたが、星空はあまり見られなかったのでまたの機会に再チャレンジしたいと思います。欲を言えば懐中電灯は1人1つ欲しかったので(GWで混んでいたせいかもしれませんが)、持って行ける人は持って行った方がいいと思います。

First of all, I was satisfied that I could see a giant coconut crab and several other species. Although I couldn't see the starry sky, I understand that the weather is beyond our control.

There were a few disappointing points regarding the operation, so I’ll mention them for reference. There are two main points.

The first point is that it seemed like there were about three tours overlapping at almost the same time, and among them, the handling, communication, and explanations felt lacking. I wanted to learn about the island, the creatures, and nature, but there was a lot of small talk about where we came from and similar topics.

The second point is that the photos that were supposed to be sent within three days did not arrive. This is a significant reason for my low rating. Well, we took our own photos, so it wasn't entirely necessary, but I thought it was quite odd to exchange LINE contacts and then not receive anything. I thought it was already late when they said within three days, but I never expected them not to be sent at all. If that’s the case, it would have been better if they had just taken commemorative photos with our smartphones.

By the way, on other tours with the same company, the quality of the guides felt very professional, and the photos arrived on the same day. So, I wonder if this was just an individual issue.

まず、特大のヤシガニほか数種類の生物を観ることができたのでその点では満足しています。星空は見れませんでしたが、天気は仕方ないので。
運営が残念点が何点かありましたので参考までに記載します。大きく2点です。
まず1点目、当日ほぼ同時刻に3者程度のツアーが重なっていたようですが、その中で一番捌きや声かけ、説明がイマイチに感じました。島や生物、自然について知りたいのに、どこから来たかとかそういう雑談的な話が多かったです。
2点目は、3日以内に送ると言っていた写真が送られて来なかったことです。低評価にしたのはこちらの理由が大きいです。まあ自分たちでも写真を撮っていたので不要と言えば不要なのですが、わざわざLINEまで交換させておいて流石にどうなのかと思いました。3日以内という時点で遅っ！とは思いましたが、まさか送られてこないとは。それであれば、記念写真的なものはこちらのスマホで撮ってくれればいいのに。
ちなみに、同じ会社の他のツアーでは、ガイドの質もとてもプロ意識が感じらましたし、写真も当日来ました。なので個人の問題なのかなとは思います。

I explored the night jungle with a guide. In May, when I went, I didn't even need insect repellent, and I borrowed a light from the guide to walk around. The light was bright enough, but if you want to see more creatures, it might be a good idea to bring a stronger light yourself.

As a result, I was very satisfied to see various creatures, including nearly ten coconut crabs. If you're lucky, you might also spot owls and bats. I was far more satisfied than I had expected, and I can confidently recommend this tour.

ガイドの方と一緒に夜のジャングルを回りました。私が行った5月では虫除けスプレー等も必要ないくらいで、ガイドの方からライトを借りて歩きました。順番明るいライトでしたが、よりたくさん生き物を見つけたいのであれば、自前で強めのライトを持参してもいいかもしれません。
結果として、ヤシガニ10匹弱をはじめとした様々な生き物が見れて大満足です。運が良ければフクロウやコウモリなども見れるようです。思っていたよりはるかに満足でき、自信を持っておすすめできるツアーです。

I participated in a stargazing photo session with a friend, and a handsome young man gave us very polite instructions, allowing us to take wonderful photos! Thank you very much.

友人と2人で星空フォトに参加したのですが　イケメンのお兄さんがとても丁寧に指示してくださって　素敵な写真が撮れました❗️
ありがとうございました。

On the first day I arrived in Miyako Island, I had made a reservation, but it was pouring rain and there was thunder… the weather was so bad that I was surprised the plane was able to land. They were able to reschedule for the next day. The following day was also cloudy, but it cleared up in the evening! I was able to take beautiful photos of the starry sky! After the ceremony, we took photos with the bouquet as well, and I am very satisfied with the wonderful pictures! Thank you very much! ❁︎

宮古島に着いた初日に予約しましたが、その日は大雨・雷雨…飛行機もよく着陸できたなというくらいの悪天候で撮影できず。翌日に変更して頂けました。翌日も曇りでしたが、夕方には晴れ！素敵な星空フォトを撮っていただけました！挙式後の撮影でブーケも一緒に撮って頂きましたが、素敵な写真で満足です！ありがとうございました❁︎

The enthusiastic photographer fully supported our wishes. The stars were beautiful, the shoot was fun, and it became a wonderful memory. We had our wedding ceremony in Miyako Island the day before, but unfortunately, it rained, which left us with some regrets. However, during the photo tour, the weather turned around, and I felt saved; I think I will never forget that feeling. Thank you so much!

サービス精神旺盛なカメラマンさんが、全力で希望に寄り添ってくれます。
星はきれいだし、撮影は楽しいし、素敵な思い出になりました。
前日に宮古島で挙式をあげたのですが、あいにくの雨で心残りでしたが、フォトツアーの時は一転して天気に恵まれて、救われた気分になったのは、ずっと忘れないと思います。
本当にありがとうございました！

I participated as a memory of Miyako Island. The staff were friendly, and I was able to have a great time. The finished photos were beautiful, with stunning stars.

宮古島の思い出として参加しました。スタッフの方は気さくな方で楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。できあがった写真はすごく星が綺麗で素敵でした。

We were able to see many coconut crabs that my child wanted to see. We also enjoyed observing bats, insects, plants, and the starry sky, which made us very satisfied. Thanks to our guide Yamato's detailed explanations, we had an even better experience! Having a guide with us was reassuring, and they were great at taking photos. The pictures taken by the guide were much more beautiful than the ones I took myself! If I have the chance to visit Miyako Island again, I would love to join this tour.

子供が見たがっていたヤシガニをたくさん見つけられました。
他にもコウモリや虫、植物観察、星空観察もできて大満足です。
ガイドのヤマトさんの丁寧な説明で、より楽しめました！
ガイドさんが一緒だと安心ですし、写真撮影もお上手。
自分で撮った写真より何倍も綺麗！
また宮古島に行くことがあれば、このツアーに参加したいです。

I went in mid-March. Since it wasn't yet the hot season, I was told that the coconut crabs wouldn't be very active, but thanks to our guide, we found one about five minutes into the tour, which was exciting! After that, everyone in the tour had fun spotting three more crabs, as well as finding hermit crabs and geckos, which really got us all excited.

Looking up, we were able to see a beautiful starry sky that we usually can't see, which was very soothing, and we were surprised by quite a large fruit bat. In the end, we were even sent off by an owl, which is rarely seen, making it a very satisfying tour.

I experienced excitement and emotions that I can’t find in my daily life. Thank you very much.

３月半ばに行きました。
まだ暑い季節ではないので、ヤシガニが活発に動き出す時期ではないとの事でしたが、ツアー開始５分くらいで、ヤシガニさんを見つけたのは、感激＆ガイドさんのおかげです♪
その後も、ツアー参加の皆さんと、あそこにいる〜いない〜等と楽しみながらまた３匹も見れた上に、オカヤドカリやヤモリを見つけて大盛りあがりしたり。
上を見上げれば、普段は見れないキレイな星空がたくさん見れて癒やされたり、けっこう大きいフルーツバット(コウモリ)にビックリしたり。
最後は、滅多に見れない？フクロウが見送ってくれたりと、大盛り大満足なツアーでした。

日常では絶対味わえない、ワクワクや感動を貰えました。ありがとうございました。

Although the conditions were poor, with rain clearing in February and the night sky hidden, I really wanted to participate in the night tour, so I made a request. Fortunately, we were able to see natural creatures like coconut crabs, hermit crabs, and spiders, and it was even more enjoyable than I expected. The guide's explanations were fun, and just strolling along the night paths was enough to have a great time.

2月の雨上がりで夜空が隠れるなど、悪条件でしたが、どうしてもナイトツアーに参加したかったのでお願いしました。
運良くヤシガニ・ヤドカリ・クモなど、自然の生き物が見つかり、期待以上に楽しめました。
ガイドさんの説明も楽しく、夜道の散策だけでも十分楽しめます。

It was cloudy in the afternoon, but it was really great that it cleared up by the time we started shooting! They taught us various poses for the shoot, and if you follow their instructions, you'll end up with wonderful photos. The location was a golf course at night, and they captured it beautifully!

Since it was a bright moon phase, we ended up doing moon photography instead of star photography, but I'm really glad I requested it. I would definitely like to ask for their services again during the summer Milky Way season! Thank you very much!

昼から曇り空でしたが、撮影時間になったら
晴れてくれたので本当に良かったです！
撮影ポーズなども色々と教えてくださるので、
言われるままにしたら素敵な写真を撮ってくださいます。ロケーションも夜のゴルフ場で本当に素敵に撮ってくださいました！

月が明るい時期だったので星空撮影ではなく、
月空撮影になりましたが、お願いして本当に良かったです。
夏の天の川シーズンにもぜひお願いしたいです！
ありがとうございました！

This time, I participated with my pregnant wife, and they were very considerate, allowing us to pose in the way we wanted. We created wonderful memories and took great photos! We will definitely use their services again. ^ ^

今回は妊娠している嫁と参加させて頂きましたが気を使って頂きポーズも自分のしたいポーズをさせて頂いたりととても良い思い出と写真を撮って頂きました！
また利用さてもらいます^ ^
