All Reviews for Okinawa Outdoor Activities

Due to a full flight, we arrived in Ishigaki at 5:30 PM. I wanted to include activities on the day we arrived, so I signed up for a stargazing and night safari tour. My impression is simply that it was a great decision! The weather was nice, the stars were truly beautiful, and we could even see the Milky Way. During the night safari, we encountered natural animals like the "Japanese scops owl, habu snake, hermit crab, bat, and firefly," which was surprisingly amazing. My daughter, who had been saying she was tired and sleepy during the stargazing, suddenly became super excited when she met the hermit crab and habu snake during the night safari. The guide mentioned that they hadn't seen a habu in over three months, and we all felt lucky to be part of the tour. Since these are natural encounters, we can't guarantee seeing them every time, but with a friendly guide and the chance to meet Ishigaki's wildlife, we were able to start our trip with wonderful memories. Thank you!

飛行機の満席により、行きのフライトが石垣到着17時半。
ついたその日もアクティビティを入れたいと思い、申し込んだ星空観賞&ナイトサファリ。感想は、申し込んでよかった！の一言。
お天気もよく、星空も本当に美しく天の川もみることができましたし、ナイトサファリでは「コノハミミズク/ハブ/ヤドカリ/コウモリ/ホタルなど」天然の動物とビックリするぐらい遭遇しました。星空観光では、疲れた。眠いを連発していた娘も、ナイトサファリでヤドカリやハブなどと出会って、いきなりテンションマックス。ハブは、最近では3か月以上遭遇できていないというガイドさんの話で、ラッキーとツアー参加者一同で感じていました。
天然のものですので、毎回あえるかは分かりませんが、感じの良いガイドさんと、石垣の生き物との出会いで、旅行初日を素敵な思い出作りからスタートをきれました。ありがとうございます。

I apologize for the delay caused by my junior this morning. As a result, we departed 10 minutes late, but thank you for waiting.

Now, regarding the tour itself, it was great that we were able to visit various places, but the tour guide was a foreigner. While they could speak Japanese, it was very difficult to understand them. Towards the end, their voice became so quiet that I couldn't hear the explanations. When they said, "Please ask if you have any questions," it was hard to do so under those circumstances.

We started from in front of the prefectural office, but there were many buses lined up, making it hard to find the right one. Other tour guides were calling out loudly, while ours just stood outside holding a customer list. That made it really confusing. Since I’m not very experienced with tours and this was only my second time, I didn’t know what to do. This was evident as other customers, who were also there more than 10 minutes early, ended up arriving at the bus just in time and expressed their confusion.

Additionally, I went with my junior this time, and while I understand the need for social distancing due to COVID, everyone could have easily maintained distance by sitting by the windows. However, we were made to sit together as a couple, and when I asked if we could move to the window seats, I was told to wait. Ultimately, we were able to sit by the window only in the afternoon. If they were going to allow it, they could have done so in the morning as well. Moreover, there was someone sitting alone who wanted to see the scenery and preferred to sit by the window, which was prioritized instead. Doesn’t that seem strange?

Please ensure proper training for the tour guides. If it had been a Japanese guide, I think we could have enjoyed it a bit more.

朝イチ後輩が遅れてすみませんでした。それで10分出発が遅れたのですが待っていただきありがとうございました。
早速ツアー内容なんですが、内容的には色々なところをまわれたのはよかったのですが、添乗員が外人さんで、日本語も大丈夫なのですが、非常に聞き取り辛かったです。説明も、自身がないのか終わりの方は声が小さく聞こえなかったです。
分からないことが有れば聞いてくださいって、これでは聞けないですよ。
出発の場所は県庁前からだったのですが、何台も並んでいたのでわかりにくかったです。他のツアーの添乗員さんは大きな声で呼んでいるのに、今回の添乗員は外に出て、顧客リストを持っているだけ。これではわかりませんよね。旅行慣れしていなく今回が2回目だったので、わかりませんでした。それを物語るのが、他のお客さんも、10分以上前に県庁前にいたのにギリギリにバスに着いてわからなかったって言ってバスに乗ってました。
あと、今回後輩と乗ったのですが、コロナで席を空けてるのはわかるのですが、全員窓際に座っても十分距離は保てるのに、私たちとカップルだけ2人で座らされ、窓際に移っていいですか？って聞いたら待ってください。って言われて結局窓際に座れたのが昼過ぎ。結局オッケーするなら午前中でも、よかったのではないでしょうか？それも、1人で座ってる人が景色ぐ見たいから逆に座りたいって言って、そっちを優先。おかしくないでしょうか？
添乗員教育ちゃんとしてください。日本人の添乗員だったらもう少し楽しめたかな。

To get to the northern Yanbaru area, it's difficult without a rental car, so I signed up for the only bus tour that goes to Daishirinzan. The bus had proper infection control measures in place, including seat arrangements.

Unfortunately, it rained on the day of the tour. I was looking forward to the views from the observation decks at Cape Hedo and Daishirinzan, but sadly, I could barely see anything. The weather forecast predicted clear skies for the afternoon, so I wished we could have reversed the order of the tour to visit the Churaumi Aquarium later. (Since it's a group tour, I understand that the schedule for each location is fixed and changes are probably not possible.)

We had 80 minutes at Daishirinzan. I wanted to see the "Observation Deck" and "Gajumaru," so I walked the shortcut course "Kigan & Churaumi" plus the "Yanbaru Forest Course." I just barely made it back in time within the 80 minutes. I wished I had a bit more time.

At the Churaumi Aquarium, we had 180 minutes. Perhaps because it was the second day of a three-day weekend in September when people started to move around (they were allowing entry with restrictions for infection control), there was a huge line, and it took 20 minutes to get in after we started waiting. The tour guide mentioned that it was the longest line they had ever seen. However, even with the 20-minute wait, we had plenty of time with the 180-minute stay. I skipped the really crowded tanks, looked at the beach and sea turtles, and then returned to the aquarium to explore.

It seems that the tour content has changed now. It looks like it offers a better experience to fully enjoy Yanbaru.

北部やんばるエリアに行くにはレンタカー以外では難しくて、この大石林山に行くことができる唯一のバスツアーに申し込みました。
バス内では席位置等感染対策がしっかりととられていました。
当日はあいにくの雨。「辺戸岬」と「大石林山」の展望台からの景色を楽しみにしていたのですが残念ながらほぼ何も見えませんでした。午後からの天気予報は晴れだったので午後からの「美ら海水族館」と回る順番を逆にすることができたら良かったのになあって思いました。（ツアー団体だから各場所に行く予定時間は決まっていて変更は無理なんだろうとは思います）
「大石林山」の滞在時間は80分。「展望台」と「ガジュマル」は見たかったので「奇岩・美ら海」のショートカットコース+「やんばる森林コース」を歩きました。なんとかギリギリ80分でもどれました。もう少し時間が欲しかった。
「美ら海水族館」は滞在180分。人が動き出した9月の3連休の二日目のためか（感染対策のために入場制限をしながら入場させていた）入場はすごい列ができていて、並んでから入るまで20分かかりました。添乗員さんはこんなに行列ができているのは初めてだと言われていました。ただ20分並んでも180分滞在時間があったので時間は十分でした。すごく混んでいる水槽は飛ばし、ビーチやウミガメを見てからまた水族館にもどり入って見ました。

今はツアー内容が変更になっているようですね。やんばるをより満喫できる内容のようなので良さそうですね。

I visited Miyako Island right at the new moon, so I wanted beautiful photos of the starry sky, but I thought I couldn't take them myself, so I asked for help. The photos were naturally wonderful, and the photographer made me (the model) feel comfortable and enjoy the experience. Truly a professional! The guidance was kind, and I was given various recommendations for spots to visit, which I really appreciated.

ちょうど新月に宮古島を訪れたので、綺麗な星空の思い出写真が欲しかったけど、自分では綺麗に撮れないと思いお願いしました。
写真が素晴らしいのは当たり前ですが、モデル（私ですが）を気分良く楽しませてくれました。さすがプロのカメラマンさんですね！
道案内も親切で、おすすめスポットもいろいろ教えていただき、お心遣いが沁みました。

In the mangrove forest, we had an explanation from the guide and were able to explore while looking for creatures like coconut crabs. For lunch, we had sashimi with three pieces of white fish fry, which was very filling and delicious. Cape Hedo had an impressive deep blue color; although the wind was strong, the view was wonderful. At Daishi Forest, I was able to walk more easily than I expected and fully enjoy nature. I also thought that infection control measures were well implemented, such as hand sanitizer when getting on and off the bus and seating arrangements that maintained social distance. I'm glad I went.

マングローブ林ではガイドさんの説明があり、ヤシガニ等生き物を探しならがら見学できました。ランチは刺身に白身フライが3枚もつきボリューム満点で美味しかったです。辺戸岬は濃いブルーが印象的、風は強かったけど素晴らしい景色でした。大石林山は思ったより楽に歩くことができ、自然を満喫できました。バス乗り降りの際は手指アルコール消毒、ソーシャルディスタンスを保った座席配置など感染症対策もしっかりされていたと思います。行って良かったです。

I was able to see the Milky Way with my own eyes for the first time. I thought the starry sky on Miyako Island was beautiful enough, but this was a different world. I was worried about whether I could stay still since I had my children (2 years and 7 months) with me, but they took a lot of photos and captured some great shots.

初めて天の川を肉眼で見れました。宮古島本島の星空で十分キレイと思っていましたが、別世界でした。
子供（2歳と7か月）を連れていたので静止出来るか心配でしたが、写真枚数を多めに撮って下さって、良い写真を撮って頂きました。

I made a reservation for 9 PM and drove to the location. Since it was a place where I had fished during the day, I arrived without getting lost.

I thought I would patiently wait while looking at the starry sky, and the staff member helped a lot by sharing various stories about Miyako Island. Because of the island's weather, it can change quickly, and I was worried when it started pouring rain. However, before I knew it, the clouds cleared, and I took the opportunity to climb the rocks and start shooting. Photographing the starry sky is a battle against the weather, and the photographers patiently waited for the clouds to clear to get the best shots, resulting in some wonderful photos! While we were waiting, they engaged us with interesting topics, which made it very enjoyable. Thank you so much!

Also, since there are no lights at all, you can see a beautiful starry sky with the naked eye. When I happened to look up, I was thrilled to see several shooting stars!

Honestly, the photos are so wonderful that they could easily justify a price increase! If you visit Miyako Island, I highly recommend participating in this experience.

What was a bit scary was when a cockroach landed on my back...! I desperately searched in the car on the way back to make sure it didn't sneak in...

21時に予約して現地へ車で向かいました。たまたま昼間に釣りをしていた場所だったので、迷わず到着できました。

星空を見ながら気長に待っていようと思ったら、担当のお兄さんが色々と宮古島の話をしてくれてとても助かりました。
島の天気なので、天候が変わりやすく、途中大雨が振ったりでダメかなー...と思っていた所、気がつけば雲が晴れてチャンス！とばかりに岩場に登って撮影しました。星空を撮るのに天候との戦いで、カメラマンさんたちもベストショットのために雲が晴れるのを粘り強く待ってくださり、すばらしい写真が撮れました！
待ってる間も私達が退屈しないように、興味のある話題を振ってくださり、とても楽しかったです。本当にありがとうございました。
また、一切明かりがないので、肉眼でもきれいな星空が見れます。たまたま見上げていたら、流れ星がいくつも見れてハッピーな気分になりました！

本来ならもっと値上げしてもいいんじゃないか？！ってくらい素敵な写真です。宮古島に来られた際はぜひ参加してみてください。
おそろしかったのは、背中にチャバネ◯キが止まった事...！帰りの車の中で紛れ込んでないか必死に探しました...。

I was able to see a variety of creatures living on Ishigaki Island, including coconut crabs, bats, white crabs, fireflies even in winter, and rare small owls.

Although it was somewhat cloudy on the day, the clouds moved quickly, and I was able to see the stars, which made me very satisfied.

Not only the creatures but also the constellations were explained in detail by the guide, making it easy to understand. Thank you very much.

ヤシガニ、コウモリ、白い蟹、冬なのにホタルや
貴重な小さなフクロウなど、石垣島に生息する
多種多様な生き物をみることができました。

当日は曇りがちでしたが、雲の動きがはやく星も見ることもでき
大変満足でした。

生き物だけでなく星座も含めてガイドさんの丁寧な説明があり
わかりやすかったです。ありがとうございました。

I explored the great nature of Yanbaru, going down waterfalls and climbing cliffs. It was challenging, but it was okay even if I wasn't confident in my physical strength. It was so much fun, and I want to participate again when I go to Okinawa!!

やんばるの大自然の中、滝をくだったり崖を登ったりしながら探検しました。ハードではありましたが、体力に自信がなくても大丈夫でした。とても楽しくて、また沖縄に行ったら参加したいです！！

I had a really fun time during the photo shoot. Unfortunately, it rained on the day of my reservation, but when I checked if it was possible to change to the next day, they responded quickly, and as a result, we were able to shoot safely the following day. Just before the shoot, I was worried that we might not be able to take photos due to sudden weather changes, as it started to rain while we were heading to the location. However, upon arrival, they explained that it would likely clear up, so we decided to wait a bit. As expected, the clouds cleared, and we were able to take wonderful photos. While we waited for the clouds to clear, they chatted with us, and we had a great time. I would definitely recommend this to my acquaintances!

とっても楽しく撮影ができました。予約当日はあいにくの雨で翌日に変更可能か確認したところ、素早くご対応頂き、結果翌日に無事撮影できました。また、撮影直前に急な天候の変化で雨が降ってきて撮影ができないかもしれないと心配しながら撮影場所まで向かいましたが、到着後すぐに説明がありおそらく晴れるから少し待つこととなりました。その後予想通り雲がはけ、素敵な写真を撮って頂きました。雲がはける間、お話などして下さり楽しい時間を過ごさせていただきました。知り合いにおすすめしたいと思います！

I had a great time seeing various creatures, such as coconut crabs, bats, owls, and many hermit crabs. The weather was nice on the day, and I was able to see the stars beautifully, which made me very satisfied. I highly recommend it.

色々な生物が見られて楽しかったです。ヤシガニ、コウモリ、フクロウ、たくさんのヤドカリ、など。
当日は天気も良く、星を綺麗に見ることもでき、大変満足でした。
おすすめです。

I applied to take wedding photos.
The meeting place was a bit hard to find, so even the taxi driver got lost.
The starry sky was so beautiful that I could see shooting stars, and I could have stared at it forever.
The stars were beautifully captured in the photos, and I'm really glad I applied!!

ウェディングフォトを撮りたくて申込みました
集合場所が少しわかりづらかったので、タクシーの運転手さんでも迷ってしまいました。
星空は流れ星が見えるくらいきれいでいつまでも眺めていたくらいでした。
写真にもきれいに星が映っていて申し込んでよかったです！！

The bad weather and low temperatures meant that we couldn't see many animals, which was disappointing. However, the guide provided a lot of explanations, which made it enjoyable!

天候が悪く、気温も低かった為あまり動物が見れなかったのがガッカリポイントでした。
その分ガイドさんが色々説明してくれて楽しかったです〜！

Honestly, I signed up for this tour looking forward to the starry sky, but on the day of the tour, it was cloudy and I was disappointed that I could hardly see any stars. However, during the drive, the jungle tour, and the mountain roads to see the night view, the tour guide shared many interesting stories, making it such a fun tour that I almost forgot about not being able to see the stars! Thank you very much!

正直、私は星空を楽しみにこのツアーを申し込んだのですが、当日は曇りでほとんど星空は見えない状況でがっかりしてました。しかし、車での移動中や、ジャングルツアーや、夜景までの山道などで、ツアーのお兄さんがたくさんの面白いお話をしてくださり、星空が見えなかったことを忘れられるくらい、楽しいツアーとなりました！ありがとうございました！

Thanks to the explanation that matched the ever-changing weather, I was able to spend a special day!! I will definitely join again when I go to Ishigaki Island.

移り変わりやすい天気に合わせて、説明していただき、特別な日を過ごせました！！
また石垣島に行く時は参加させていただきます

We couldn't discover it ourselves. We saw a coconut crab that the instructor brought from somewhere. Also, it was disappointing that the starry sky was cloudy.

自分達で発見できず。インストラクターさんがどこからか持ってきたヤシガニを見ました。あと星空は曇っていたので残念でした。

It was a highly satisfying tour. I was amazed by the mysterious vitality of the mangroves, overwhelmed by the grandeur and power of the Okinawa's Great Stone Forest, and comforted by the cuteness of the Okinawa rail. I grew even fonder of Okinawa. The tour guide and local guides were friendly and very thorough in explaining the local circumstances, which was very educational. The local specialties I tasted here and there were truly delicious. This is a tour I especially recommend for those who feel they have already visited the major tourist spots in Okinawa.

非常に満足感の高いツアーでした。
マングローブの不思議な生命力に驚き、
大石林山の威容・迫力に圧倒され、
ヤンバルクイナの可愛らしさに癒され、
さらに沖縄が好きになりました。
添乗員さんや各地のガイドさんには、
フレンドリーかつ懇切丁寧に現地の事情を
説明していただき、とても勉強になりました。
各地でちょっとずつ食べた名産品も、
まことに美味でありました。
沖縄のメジャーな観光地は一通り行ったなあ、
という方に、特にお勧めしたいツアーです。

The night view of Ishigaki Island and the starry sky were very beautiful. Although I couldn't find the coconut crab or the owl, I appreciated the guide who was diligently searching for them. The light of the fireflies at night on Ishigaki Island was quite charming.

石垣島の夜景、星空がとても綺麗でした。
ヤシガニやフクロウは発見することは出来ませんでしたが、一生懸命探しているガイドさんに好感をもてました。石垣島の夜に見るホタルの光は乙なものでした。

At the beginning of the tour, I was disappointed because the stars were hidden by clouds and hard to see, but the staff shared stories about the stars and found creatures like coconut crabs, stick insects, and fireflies like hunters. I was excited to see so many creatures for the first time. Since we couldn't see many stars, they took us to a beautiful spot where we could enjoy the night view of Ishigaki Island instead. The staff's service and lively personality added to the experience, making it a very enjoyable and fulfilling tour!

ツアーが始まった当初は、星が雲に隠れてあまり見れずガッカリでしたが、スタッフさんが星にまつわる話しをしてくれたり、ハンターの様にヤシガニやナナフシ、ホタル等見つけてれました。
初めて見る生き物だらけでテンション上がりました。
星があまり見れなかったので、その代わり綺麗な石垣島の夜景が見れる場所へ案内してくれました。スタッフさんのサービスと元気なキャラクターもプラスされとても満喫した楽しいツアーでした！

I had an amazing experience! It was truly a natural planetarium. The guide's explanations were very easy to understand! I was also impressed by the high-tech laser pointer, haha. I was just endlessly amazed at how beautiful the stars looked with my own eyes. The moon was also beautifully visible, and I was again moved by how clearly I could see the craters! Due to the timing, I could only see the Milky Way faintly, but I would like to participate again when I visit Ishigaki!

最高な体験が出来ました‼︎
まさに自然のプラネタリウムでした。
ガイドさんの説明とても分かりやすかったです！ハイテクなレーザーポインターにも感動でした笑
星って自分の目でもこんなにキレイに見える事にひたすら感動してました。
月もキレイに見えていて、クレーターがはっきり見えた事にもまた感動‼︎
時期的に天の川がうっすらとしか見えませんでしたが、また石垣に行った際には参加したいと思います‼︎

It was my first experience, and I was moved by how well I could see the stars. The guide's explanations were thorough and easy to understand, with engaging content. Surrounded by sugarcane fields, it was a very luxurious experience to gaze at the starry sky in nature. It was colder than I expected, so warm clothing is necessary.

初めての体験でしたが星がよく見え、感動しました。ガイドの方の説明も丁寧でわかりやすく、興味を惹く内容でした。サトウキビ畑に囲まれ、自然の中で星空を眺めるのはとても贅沢な体験でした。思ったより寒いので防寒対策が必要。

The jungle tour started in complete darkness. I accidentally walked ahead on the exploration course without knowing where the meeting point was, but during the tour, I encountered various creatures that I hadn't noticed at that time and enjoyed receiving explanations about them. Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy that day, so I couldn't see the starry sky, but because it was a small group, I was able to take my time and had a very fulfilling experience. The guide was very kind and friendly! If I have the chance to visit Miyako Island again, I would love to participate again. Thank you very much.

真っ暗闇の中始まったジャングルツアー。集合場所が分からず、うっかり散策コースを先に歩いて行ってしまっていたのですが、そのときには気づかなかったさまざまな生き物にツアー中に出会い、色々な説明を受けて楽しむことができました。当日はあいにくの曇り空で、満点の星空は望めませんでしたが、少人数でゆっくりと周れたため、とても充実した時間を過ごすことができました。ガイドさんがとても親切で優しかったです！また宮古島に来る機会があったらまた参加したいです。どうもありがとうございました。

It was a full moon, so the starry sky was hard to see, but not only that, the guide shared interesting information about creatures like hermit crabs and coconut crabs, as well as plants and culture. (Thank you so much, Mr. Furuta and Mr. Kubo. I had a great time.)

満月だったので星空は見づらかったですが、
それだけでなくヤドカリやヤシガニを始めとした生き物、植物、文化についてガイドさんが面白く教えてくれました。(古田さん・久保さん本当にありがとうございました。とても楽しかったです)

The content was abundant and fulfilling. I was glad to encounter sea turtles. When I come to Iriomote Island again, I would like to participate in another tour.

内容が盛りだくさんで、充実していました。海亀にも出会えて良かったです。また西表島に来たときは別のツアーに参加したいと思います。

The explanation was great. They tell you about the stars that can be seen through the gaps even when it's cloudy. There were also stars that can only be seen in Ishigaki Island.

解説がよかったです。
曇ってても隙間から見えてる星について教えてくれます。
石垣島でしか見れない星もありました。

I was very worried about taking starry sky photos during the typhoon, but the staff patiently waited for the clouds to clear and captured the photos at the best timing. They played music to help us relax and even suggested some great poses, so the shoot went smoothly! Later, I received the photo data and was incredibly moved! The photos were wonderful, featuring countless stars that were invisible to the naked eye as the backdrop. I have them displayed in my living room. It was a valuable experience and a great memory. I highly recommend it, as I couldn't have taken photos of that quality myself. Thank you also for the information about delicious local restaurants and cute interior shops.

台風が来ている最中での星空写真撮影で、とても心配だったのですが、スタッフの方々が雲がはけるのを根気よく待ってくださりベストタイミングで写真撮影をしてくださりました。音楽をかけてリラックスさせてくださったり、オススメポーズもレクチャーしてくださり、撮影は無事に終了！後日、写真データが送られてきて大感動！肉眼では見えない無数の星達をバックにした素敵な写真でした。自宅のリビングに飾っています。貴重な体験、大変良い思い出になりました。自分ではあのクオリティの写真は撮れないのでオススメです。地元の美味しいお店や可愛いインテリアショップ情報もありがとうございました。

It's a place I wouldn't think of going just to drive there alone, but I participated in my first bus tour and went there. I climbed the mountain while listening to the guide talk about Daishi Forest Mountain, and the Shikuwasa juice after exercising was the best! After that, at the Churaumi Aquarium, there weren't many people, but the dolphin show I saw for the first time was so cute. What impressed me the most was that we arrived at the Kencho Square exactly at 8 o'clock. It was right on schedule. I thought it was normal for a bus to be late, but everything went according to plan, and I was moved by it all. I'm glad I went.

ひとりで車運転してまで絶対行こうと思わない場所ですが、人生初のバスツアーに参加し行ってきました。添乗員さんから大石林山の話を聞きながら山登りし、運動した後のシークワサージュース最っ高でした。その後の美ら海水族館、人はまばらだったけど、初めて見たイルカショーとってもかわいかったです。最後にすごいと思ったのが、最終の県庁広場に8時ちょうどに着いたことです。予定時刻と全く一緒でした。バスだから予定時刻過ぎるのが普通かと思っていたのが予定通りだったから、全てに感動しました。
行ってよかったです。

I saw the Milky Way for the first time on Miyako Island!
I'm very satisfied with how the photos turned out!!
The guide and the photographer were friendly, and I had a great time⭐
I definitely want to request them again when I visit Miyako Island!
I highly recommend this as a travel memory.

初めての宮古島で、初めての天の川を見ました！
写真の仕上がりも大満足です！！
案内役のお兄さんも撮影のお兄さんも気さくで楽しい時間が過ごせました⭐
また宮古島に行った時にはお願いしたいと思います！
旅行の記念に絶対おすすめです。

This is my first time in Ishigaki Island! Due to the flight schedule, I could only participate at night.

The starry sky was incredibly beautiful, and I was lucky enough to see shooting stars!!

I was also moved to see half of the coconut crab!

I didn't think I would be very interested in bugs, but surprisingly, I enjoyed it!!!

The guide was kind and taught us a lot, so it was educational!

However, there were some very loud customers, and I wanted to enjoy it quietly, which was a bit disappointing. Cry

I guess that's just luck...

初めての石垣島です！飛行機の都合上
夜しか動けないため参加してみました。

星空凄い綺麗で流れ星も見れてラッキーでした！！

ヤシガニさんも半分体見れて感動でした！

あんまり虫かとか興味ないなーと思いましたが
意外に楽しめました！！！
ガイドさんも優しい感じで色々教えてくれたので
勉強になりました！


他のお客様で凄いうるさい方ばかりで
静かに見たかったのですが
ちょっと残念でした。泣

それも運ですね‥

I wasn't originally interested in constellations, but since I had no plans for the night, I decided to join this tour. In the pitch dark, I was guided to chairs arranged at intervals in a cleared area of the field, relying on the lights at my feet. On the day of the tour, there were many clouds, and I wondered how it would turn out, but the guide was experienced and explained things as the clouds parted. Using a laser pointer to indicate the stars made it very clear, and it was a quick hour filled with local dialects and legends from Ishigaki Island. For example, in the local dialect, it seems that they refer to the north as ☆♪€○ (laughs). If you want to learn more, I highly recommend participating!

元々星座には興味が有りませんでしたが､夜の予定がない為このツアーに参加。真っ暗な中､足元のライトを頼りに､畑を切り拓いた場所に間隔を開けて並べられた椅子まで案内されました。当日は雲が多く､どうなることかと思いましたが､そこは手慣れたもので雲の切れた箇所から順次説明。星空をレーザーポインターで指しながらなので､よく分かる上､石垣島の方言や言い伝え等を混じえながらのあっという間の1時間でした。例えば､石垣島の方言では北のことを☆♪€○っていうらしいですｗ。詳しく聞きたい方は是非ご参加ください。
