All Reviews for Stargazing

The night jungle was more exciting than I imagined, and I was thrilled to see many creatures that I usually don't get to see. The guide's explanations were enjoyable, making it a very valuable experience.

夜のジャングルは想像以上にワクワクし、普段見られない生き物もたくさん見れて感動しました。ガイドさんの説明も楽しく、とても貴重な体験になりました。

It was a very enjoyable night tour! The guide was very kind, and I felt safe participating.

The atmosphere of Ishigaki Island at night was wonderful, and I was moved by the many creatures I was able to see. I got to see coconut crabs, various insects, and even some rare animals, making it a truly valuable experience!

The explanations were easy to understand, and I was very satisfied that they took photos for us. I highly recommend this tour to anyone coming to Ishigaki Island! Thank you!

とても楽しいナイトツアーでした！ガイドさんもとても親切で、安心して参加することができました。

夜の石垣島は雰囲気がとても良く、たくさんの生き物を見ることができて感動しました。ヤシガニや色々な昆虫、珍しい動物も見ることができて、本当に貴重な体験でした！

説明も分かりやすく、写真も撮っていただけて大満足です。石垣島に来る方にはぜひおすすめしたいツアーです！ありがとうございました！

The outline of the moon was clear, and the stars were beautiful. I never got bored during the ride thanks to the tour guide's extensive knowledge.

月の輪郭がハッキリしていて、星も綺麗だった。
ツアーガイドの豊富な知識で車に乗っていても飽きなかった。

On the day of the event, we were picked up at 8 PM and set off. There were about eight participants. We changed into rental shoes inside the car. After about ten minutes, we arrived at our destination. We were given flashlights and set off immediately. At first, we had a hard time finding the coconut crabs, but our guide, Yume, did a great job! She took us to places where they were likely to be found, and we saw coconut crabs, baby coconut crabs, and hermit crabs. It was a moonlit night close to a full moon, and the stars were beautiful as well. At the end, we searched for scorpions with a black light. It was a satisfying night tour.

当日は２０時に宿へ迎えに来てくれて出発。
参加は８人ほどでした。
車内で貸靴に履き替え。
１０分程で目的地に到着。

満足のナイトツアーでした。

This was my first time participating, and I felt truly cared for from start to finish, which allowed me to enjoy the experience with peace of mind. I learned a lot about the ocean, making it a special experience that was more than just swimming. They took many photos and videos, creating memories that will last a lifetime. I definitely want to participate again!

初めて参加しましたが、最初から最後まで本当に丁寧に対応していただき安心して楽しめました。海の知識もたくさん教えてもらえて、ただ泳ぐだけじゃない特別な体験になりました。写真や動画もたくさん撮っていただき、一生の思い出です。また絶対参加したいです！

I participated in the jungle night tour, and it was more impressive than I expected! The coconut crab I encountered in the darkness was much larger than I imagined, and I was overwhelmed by its strength. Also, when I looked up, the starry sky was filled with so many stars that it felt like they might spill over, and it was breathtakingly beautiful. The guide's explanations were thorough, making it an unforgettable and amazing night!

ジャングルナイトツアーに参加しましたが、期待以上の大迫力でした！暗闇の中で遭遇したヤシガニは、想像よりもずっと大きく、その力強さに圧倒されました。また、ふと見上げた星空は、こぼれ落ちそうなほど満天の星で、言葉を失うほどの美しさです。ガイドさんの解説も丁寧で、忘れられない最高の夜になりました！

Despite the unfortunate weather, I participated with a faint hope, but I couldn't see the stars after all. However, our guide Kenken worked hard to find coconut crabs and shared many stories about the creatures of Ishigaki, as well as information about stars and constellations, which made me feel a deep love for Ishigaki. ♥ In the end, we also got to see fireflies, which left me extremely satisfied. I definitely want to come back for a revenge trip to see the starry sky!

あいにくのお天気の中、微かな希望を持って参加しましたが、やっぱり星は見られずでした。でも、ガイドのケンケンさんが、一生懸命にヤシガニを見つけてくれたり、石垣の生き物の話や、星や星座の事などたくさん教えてくれて、石垣への愛をたっぷり感じさせてもらいました♥
最後にホタルも見送ってくれて、大大満足でした。また、星空を見にリベンジしたいと思います！

I thought we could just look at the stars in a dark place by ourselves, but I'm glad we decided to join the tour. Not only did we hear stories about constellations and how what we can see changes with the seasons, but we also got to observe in a truly dark setting, which was incredibly moving. The staff was friendly, and we had a great time!

自分たちで暗いとこで見ればいいかと思っていましたが
思い切ってツアー参加してみてよかったです
星座のお話や
季節で見えるものが違う話をして頂けたのもそうですが
ちゃんと本格的に真っ暗な所での観測で
そこにかなりの感動を覚えました
スタッフさんもフレンドリーで
たのしめました！

The night in Ishigaki has a different face, and I was excited by the contrast with the daytime ( ˊᵕˋ ). As I ventured into the unique nature of the Yaeyama Islands, I was able to see cute hermit crabs and coconut crabs! They all showed their adorable faces, and I couldn't help but get excited the whole time. I want to go on another adventure with a flashlight! Next time, I want to see the stars, so I want to make a comeback (*'ω'*).

夜の石垣はまた違う顔があり昼間とのギャップにワクワクしました( ˊᵕˋ )
八重山独自の自然を突き進めばかわいいヤドカリやヤシガニが見られました！みんなかわいい顔を見せてくれて終始はしゃいでしまいました。
懐中電灯を持ってまた冒険に行きたいです！次は星が見たいのでリベンジしたいです(*'ω'*)

Thank you very much for this opportunity!

I felt reassured and comfortable participating, thanks to the reliable young man who confidently entered the bushes in short sleeves and shorts! (laughs)

He was very knowledgeable and taught us various things while we got to see many creatures like coconut crabs and hermit crabs, making it a very satisfying tour.

この度はありがとうございました！

半袖半ズボンで何の躊躇いもなく茂みに入って行くお兄さんが頼もしくて安心して参加できました！笑

知識も豊富で色々なことを教えてもらいながら、ヤシガニやヤドカリなど沢山見られて大満足のツアーになりました。

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the Subaru staff for their exceptional service. They kindly and patiently shared stories about the stars, took the time to wait until the clouds cleared, and captured wonderful photos for us. I now have beautiful memories of the starry sky tour and the kind staff. Thank you very much. I hope to request the same tour with the same staff next time 😊.

この度、スバルのスタッフさんには大変お世話になりました。優しく、親切、丁寧に星のお話し聞かせて貰ったり、雲が晴れるまで時間を掛けて貰って、素敵な写真を撮影して下さり、素晴らしい星空ツアーの写真や優しいスタッフさんの想い出が出来ました。ありがとうござい。
次回又、同じツアーで同じスタッフさんにお願いしたいと思います😊

I was glad to be able to walk safely through the jungle with the guide's stories, which I wouldn't have been able to do on my own. It was great to see precious animals and plants as well. Personally, I thought it would have been better if we had a bit more time to stargaze. Since we only had time before entering the jungle, I think it would be more enjoyable if we could be taken to a clearing where we could see a sky full of stars.

ガイドさんのお話と共に、自分では行くことが出来ないジャングルの中を安全に歩くことが出来て良かったです。貴重な動物や植物も見ることが出来、良かったです。
個人的には、もう少し星を見る時間が長ければ良いと思いました。ジャングルに入る前の時間しかなかったので、一面の星が見える広場などに連れていって貰えるともっと楽しめると思います。

The perfect stars were impressive, but the coconut crab that the staff caught was surprisingly large, surprisingly heavy, and since it hardly moved, I was able to observe it closely.

満点の星も見ごたえありましたが、スタッフの方が捕まえたヤシガニが、意外と大きく、意外と重く、でも殆ど動かないので、じっくり見ることができました。

We were lucky to have great weather, but even more so, the organization was fantastic. Safety in the dark was thoroughly ensured, allowing us to enjoy ourselves calmly throughout. The lecture about the starry sky was detailed, making it easy to enjoy even without prior knowledge. I appreciate the attention to detail. I definitely want to do this again.

天気に恵まれてラッキーでしたが、それ以上に進行が素晴らしかったです。暗闇での安全確保が徹底されており、終始落ち着いて楽しめました。星空についてのレクチャーが丁寧なのね、知識がなくてもすぐに楽しめます。細部まで行き届いた配慮に感謝。また必ずお願いしたいです。

I love coconut crabs and hermit crabs, so when I came to Ishigaki Island, I absolutely wanted to see the elusive coconut crab, so I signed up for this tour!

When the lights went out, we entered the pitch-black jungle, guided by a bright, handsome, and fun (this is quite important) guide. We set off on the jungle night tour!!!

We encountered land hermit crabs, baby coconut crabs, giant crab spiders, and hermit crabs... and finally, the long-awaited coconut crab (since it's out of season, the big ones are hard to find)! I was so excited that I ended up having more fun than the kids.

Everyone who participated in the tour was friendly, and we all got along well while exploring! The weather was bad, so we couldn't see the starry sky, but I definitely want to try again 😊.

ヤシガニ、ヤドカリが大好きな私、
石垣島に来たらどうしても念がのヤシガニを観たかったのでこちらのツアーに申し込みしました！
電気を消すと真っ暗闇のジャングルへ
明るくてイケメンでノリの良い(これ、かなり大事)ガイドのお兄さんの案内にて
ジャングルナイトツアーに出発！！！
オカヤドカリや、ヤシガニの赤ちゃん、
アシダカ蜘蛛、ヤドカリ、、、
そして念願のヤシガニ(季節外れなので大物はなかなか出ない)
と対面！もうテンション爆上がりで、
子供より自分が楽しんでしまいました。

一緒にツアーに参加したみなさんもフレンドリーで、みんな仲良く探検できました！
天気悪くて星空は見れなかったけど、
またぜひ、リベンジしたいと思います😊

We participated at the request of our 5 and 7-year-old children. Unfortunately, due to bad weather conditions, we couldn't encounter the coconut crab, but our guide, Misaki, found and explained many creatures and plants of Ishigaki Island while we explored, which got the kids really excited.

In places where the footing was poor, we were very grateful for the care shown towards the children, as she helped them along. Additionally, along the way, she shared various information about Ishigaki Island, the surrounding islands, and recommended restaurants, which gave us many places we want to visit!

We would love to try again when the weather conditions are better!

5歳7歳の子供たちの希望で参加しました。
残念ながら気候条件が悪くヤシガニには出会えませんでしたが、ガイドの美咲さんが、たくさんの石垣島の生き物や植物を見つけて説明しながら散策してくださり、子供たち大興奮でした。
足もとが悪い場所では子供たちを気にかけて頂き、手を引いて頂いたりと大変ありがたかったです。
また、道中では石垣島のこと、離島のこと、オススメのレストランなどなど色々なことを教えて頂き、行きたい場所がたくさん出来ました！
また気候条件の良いときにリベンジしたいです！

Unfortunately, this time I couldn't find the coconut crab, but I was excited while searching for it. Walking through the jungle at night was something I had never done before, and it was a very refreshing and valuable experience. Although the stargazing wasn't perfect due to the weather, I was still able to see a beautiful night sky. I would like to try again the next time I come to Ishigaki Island.

During the transfer from Ishigaki Port Terminal to the tour location and back, the guide recommended some local dishes and shared information about Ishigaki Island and the Yaeyama Islands, which made the trip even more enjoyable.

残念ながら、今回は、ヤシガニを見つけることができませんでしたが、ワクワクしながら探すことができました。また、夜にジャングルの中を歩くというのは、やったことがなく、とても新鮮な経験であり、貴重な体験でした。また、星空鑑賞も天候の関係で、満天の星とはいかないまでも、綺麗な星空を見られました。また、今度石垣島に来た時には、再挑戦したいです。
石垣港ターミナルから、ツアーする現地に、現地から石垣港ターミナルに移動する際の車では、ガイドさんがご飯のおすすめや、石垣島についてのことや、八重山諸島のことも教えてくださり、旅がもっと楽しくなると思いました。

On the day of the event, I was worried that I might be alone, but when I arrived at the remote island terminal (the meeting place), I was surprised (and relieved) to see over 20 participants. The weather was slightly cloudy, so we couldn't see many stars, but we split into four to five groups, with one guide for every six to seven participants. Equipped with rubber boots (to protect against Habu snakes) and flashlights, we searched for creatures in the forest (jungle). After a while, the guide discovered a coconut crab, and we even got to take a commemorative photo with it. We also spotted a tiny scorpion, and it was a lot of fun! ☺️

当日は、自分１人ではないか？、と心配しながら、離島ターミナル(集合場所)に行きましたが、参加者が２０人以上いてビックリ(安心)しました。天気は、薄曇りで星はあまり見えなかったけど、４から５グループに別れて、ガイド１人に参加者６～7名で、森(ジャングル)のなかに長靴(ハブ対策)にペンライトをもって、生き物探し、しばらくしてヤシガニをガイドさんが発見し、記念撮までしてもらえました。ちっちゃいサソリも見えて、とても楽しかったです☺️。

I'm glad I was able to see creatures and plants I've never seen before. The guide who led the tour was cheerful, and the atmosphere was great, making it a lot of fun! I saw the most beautiful star I've ever seen in my life. 🌠

みたことない生物や植物が見れてよかったです。
ツアー担当したガイドの方も明るく雰囲気も良くすごく楽しかったです！
今まで生きてきた中で1番綺麗な星が見れました🌠

Although I couldn't meet the coconut crab and the sky was cloudy, it was great to see the sea snake since it was low tide. I would like to try again if I have the chance. The guide shared various charms of Ishigaki Island on the way back, which was very informative. Thank you very much.

ヤシガニに会えず、曇り空のために満点の星空ではなかったですが、干潮だったためウミヘビを見ることが出来たのは良かったです。また機会があれば再挑戦したいです。ガイドさんには帰り道にいろいろ石垣島の魅力を話してもらい勉強になりました。有り難うございました。

Visiting Miyako Island for the first time at the end of March was a very pleasant experience. Although I had to wear a wetsuit for marine activities, looking up at the sky, I felt as if countless stars were falling down. I was able to spend a special time learning about the Winter Triangle and other constellations. The person who took my photos was also from my hometown, which created a warm and friendly atmosphere. I also appreciate their help in addressing the fact that I had mistakenly scheduled my day. If you ever visit Miyako Island, I highly recommend experiencing a day like this!

初めての宮古島3月末と言う事てわ、とても過ごしやすい時期ですので、マリン関係もウテットスーツを着なければならない状況でしたが、空を見上げると⭐️なんと星が沢山降ってきているように感じるではありませんか。
冬の大三角形など説明を受けて特別な時間⏰を過ごすことができました。撮影してくれる方も同郷という事もあり和やかな雰囲気を感じられました。又1日間違えていた事にも対応してくれて、感謝です。
是非皆さんも宮古島へ行ったら、こんな1日いかがでしょうか？

The person who took the photos was very kind and responded gently and slowly, which made it easier for my son, who finds it difficult to maintain the same posture for a long time, to be photographed beautifully. Although they were young, they were also good at conversation, and their high communication skills made it even easier to take the photos without feeling nervous. Thank you very much!

撮影してくださった方が
とても親切で、優しくゆっくり
対応していただいたので…
長い時間同じ姿勢が難しい息子でも
キレイに撮って頂けました。
若い方でしたが、会話も上手く…
コミュニケーション能力の
高い方だったので尚更
緊張感もなく撮影出来たと思います。
ありがとうございました！

I'm so glad I went! The weather was great, which contributed to the perfect conditions, but the starry sky was the best I've ever seen in my life, with countless stars against the pitch-black sky. I saw more stars than in a planetarium.

Unfortunately, we didn't see any coconut crabs during the exploration, but it was a unique and fun experience that we couldn't have done alone, as the night jungle would have been too scary to navigate by ourselves. Thank you for the tour!

行って大正解でした！天気が良くて最高の条件だった事もあるけど、真っ暗な空に満天の星で、長年生きてきた中で1番の星空でした。
プラネタリウムよりも多い星を見ました

探検では残念ながらヤシガニは見れませんでしたが、自分たちだけでは夜の茂みは怖くてまわれないしとても貴重で楽しかったです。
ツアーありがとうございました！

We were blessed with good weather and were able to see an unprecedented number of stars. I think the night spent lying on the sandy beach will be unforgettable. Although we didn't encounter any coconut crabs or other bugs and insects, just wandering around the pitch-black path where nothing could be seen once the lights were turned off was a first for us, and the kids were excited the whole time. When we went to dip our feet in the sea, we unexpectedly saw bioluminescent plankton! That was really fascinating too!

お天気に恵まれ、見たことのない数の星を見ることができました。砂浜に寝転がり過ごした夜は忘れられないものとなると思います。ヤシガニや他の虫や昆虫には出会えませんでしたが、電気を消せば何も見えなくなる夜道をウロウロすること自体が初めてのことで、子供たちも終始興奮していました。
海に足だけつかりに行くと予期せぬ夜光虫を見れました！それもとても面白ろかったです！

It was great to be able to shoot under a beautiful starry sky with no clouds at 9 PM on the same day. During the shoot, we had to remain still for 13 seconds, and even though we had our 9-month-old daughter with us, she was sleeping on the hip seat, so we naturally managed to stay still. It's impossible to capture the starry sky and our photos with a smartphone camera, so it depends on the weather, but I highly recommend this experience.

当日21時から撮影で雲がなくとても綺麗な星空の中撮影できて良かったです。撮影中13秒間静止しないといけなく、9カ月の娘もいましたがヒップシートの上で寝ていたのでちょうど自然と静止できてました。星空と自分達の写真を残すにはスマホのカメラでは無理なので天気に左右されますがお勧めの体験です。

An extraordinary night experience. The scale of the starry sky was simply amazing, and I was also moved by the creatures I discovered deep in the jungle. The flow was well-organized, which made me feel at ease.

非日常すぎるナイト体験　星空のスケール感がとにかくすごく、ジャングルの奥で見つけた生き物にも感動しました。流れが整っていて安心でした。

I felt a close connection to nature, experiencing the presence of living creatures up close while also enjoying the vastness of the starry sky. The smooth progression of the experience was impressive.

自然との距離が近いと感じた　生き物の存在を間近に感じ、星空の広がりも同時に楽しめました。無理のない進行が印象的でした。

When I applied, I was expecting a sky full of stars, but on the day of the event, it was cloudy and I couldn't see any stars, so it turned into a jungle exploration. I ventured into unmarked areas, and as a man over 60, I returned to my childhood, immersing myself in searching for creatures in tree holes and grass. I was delighted to encounter a natural monument, the coconut crab, which I will probably never see again in my lifetime.

申し込んだ時は満天の星空を期待したが、当日は曇り星はまったくみれずジャングル探検となった
道なきところへ潜り込み60過ぎたオッさんが童心に戻り木の穴や草むらを無心に生き物探しに没頭した。もう一生見ることのない天然記念物のヤシガニなどに出会え楽しかった。

It was a night tour in the light rain, but it felt like a treasure hunt and was very enjoyable. The guide's deep care for the creatures really came through, and it made me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Unfortunately, we couldn't see the starry sky, but it was a valuable experience. Thank you!

小雨の降るなかのナイトツアーでしたが、宝探しをしているようでとても楽しかったです。ガイドさんの生き物を大事に思っている気待ちが凄く伝わってきて、ホッコリした気分になりました。
残念ながら、星空は見えませんでしたが貴重な体験をさせていただきました。
ありがとうございます

I was a bit worried about seeing wildlife during the winter participation, but the result was very satisfying! The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Thanks to their introduction of easy-to-find points in the darkness of the night, we were able to spot many creatures.

During the transportation, we enjoyed lively conversations about the island, feeling a warm hospitality that went beyond just an observation tour. This is truly a recommended tour that allows you to rediscover the charm of Iriomote Island in winter. Thank you for a wonderful night, guide!

冬の参加ということで、生き物が見られるか少し心配していましたが、結果は大満足でした！ガイドさんがとてもフレンドリーで知識が豊富。夜の暗闇の中、見つけやすいポイントを紹介していただけたおかげでいくつも生き物を見つけることができました。

送迎中も島のお話で盛り上がり、ただの観察ツアー以上の温かいおもてなしを感じました。冬の西表島の魅力を再発見できる、本当におすすめのツアーです。ガイドさん、素敵な夜をありがとうございました！
