All Reviews for Stargazing

It was my first time seeing such a starry sky, and I was moved. I saw shooting stars several times. The explanations were very easy to understand and enjoyable, sparking my interest in the stars. Thank you very much. I definitely want to recommend this to everyone!

こんな満天の星空を観るのははじめてで、感動しました。流れ星も何度となく流れていました。
解説がとてもわかりやすく楽しく、星に興味が湧くお話でした。
ありがとうございました。
皆さんにも是非オススメしたいです！

It was a night tour, and I participated with two children who were scared even of a haunted house meant for toddlers. They were excited during the car ride with the explanation that we might see pythons or wild boars, but once we arrived, they became engrossed in searching for creatures while shining their flashlights around. We were able to find coconut crabs, crabs, hermit crabs, scorpion-like creatures, and lizards. During the tour, everyone turned off their lights to look at the starry sky, and I was amazed by how many stars were visible.

ナイトツアーなのに幼児向けのお化け屋敷すら怖がる子供２人を連れての参加でした。車移動の時からハブや猪が出るかもしれないという説明に子供はドキドキでしたが、現地に着いたら懐中電灯で周辺を照らしながら夢中になって生き物探しをしていました。
ヤシガニ、カニ、ヤドカリ、サソリもどき、トカゲ、色々見つけることができました。
ツアーの途中、全員ライトを消して星空を見るのですが、星の見える数が多すぎて驚きでした。

I had a great time! The guide, Shoutarou, was kind and wonderful to the children! Thank you very much. I would like to use this service again.

とても楽しかったです！
ガイドのお兄さん(しょうたろうさん)が、子供にも優しくて素敵でした！
ありがとうございました
また利用したいです。

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！

The starry sky was beautiful, and I was able to see various creatures and had a great time. However, when taking photos at the end, it would be helpful to instruct the people behind to turn off or lower their lights, as the backlighting made it difficult to capture decent images. Additionally, while there are multiple photos of families with children, there is only one photo of adults participating alone, which is concerning. Also, most of the photos are blurry, and some are out of focus, making them not suitable for sharing with others. I hope you consider whether these photos are appropriate for reminiscing about the memories.

星空も綺麗で、様々な生き物を見ることができ、楽しく過ごすことができました。ただ、最後に写真を撮る時に後ろの人にライトを消すか下げるかの指示を出さないと、逆光でまともに映りません。また、ご家族でお子さんと一緒に参加してる方の写真は複数あるのに大人だけで参加してる人の写真は最後の1枚だけなのが気になります。あと基本ぶれてます。ピントが合ってないものもあり、とても人に渡すための写真とは思えません。思い出を振り返るための写真がこれでいいのか考えていただきたいものです。

The jungle night tour is more of a jungle than I imagined. They provided us with boots, but I think it's better to participate in long pants. When I joined, I encountered a coconut crab! I also found insects I had never seen before, and it was a lot of fun searching for creatures in the jungle and on the beach with a flashlight. Additionally, the night sky from the beach was amazing. I was able to see the Summer Triangle and the Milky Way.

ジャングルナイトツアーは想像よりジャングルです。長靴を貸していただけましたが、長ズボンでの参加がいいかと思います。
わたしが参加した時はヤシガニに出会えました！
その他にも、初めて見る昆虫なども見つけられ、ジャングルや砂浜を懐中電灯を照らしながら生き物を探すのはとても楽しかったです。
また、星空も砂浜からの夜空最高でした。夏の大三角形と、天の川をみることができました。

I signed up for the tour to see coconut crabs and other subtropical creatures, but I was captivated by the unbelievably beautiful starry sky and the Milky Way on the beach. The guide was also very kind, and I wasn't scared at all in the night jungle.

ヤシガニやその他亜熱帯の生き物目当てで申し込んだツアーですが、浜辺での信じられないような美しい星空と天の川に心奪われてしまいました。ガイドさんも大変親切で夜のジャングルも全く怖くなかったです。

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！

The guide was kind and shared many enjoyable stories during our travels. Despite the bad weather, we were able to encounter the coconut crab we were aiming for, creating the best memories. Next time, I’ll come back to aim for the starry sky!

ガイドが親切で移動中も楽しいお話をいっぱいしてくれました。
悪天候でしたが、狙いのヤシガニにも出会えて最高の思い出ができました。
次は星空狙いで、リピートします！

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。

At the meeting point, the staff explained that they couldn't predict the cloud conditions ahead, so if we were anxious, we could cancel, and I agreed to participate. From the middle of the event, clouds started to appear, and visibility was almost nonexistent, but I had accepted this, so I have no complaints. However, they used a laser pointer for explanations, but their voice was too soft to hear. Even though I was in the third row from the front, I couldn't hear, so those behind us probably heard even less.

集合場所でスタッフから雲の状況がこの先わからないので、不安ならキャンセルしてくださいと説明があり納得して参加しました。途中からは雲が出てきてほとんど見えませんでしたが、承知の上なので不満はありません。
ただ、レーザーポインターで説明をしてくれるのですか、声が小さくてほとんど聞こえません。前から３列目で聞いてたのに聞こえなかったので、私達の後ろの方はもっと聞こえなかったの思われます。

I had made a reservation in June, but due to bad weather, I received a notice that it was canceled on the day of the event. I thought I would make another reservation the next time I came. This time, the weather was clear, and the stargazing began under a dark sky. There were some clouds that made it a bit difficult to see at times, but I was satisfied. I have participated in several other stargazing tours, but this one was among the top five. The destination, Ishigaki Island Stargazing Farm, was hard to find at night, and I relied on Google Maps to get there. When I arrived, there was nothing in sight, which made me anxious, but a staff member approached me and guided me to the parking lot, which put me at ease.

６月にも予約していましたが、６月は天候が悪く、当日中止との連絡を受け、次回来た時にまた予約しようと思っていました。
今回、当日は晴れており真っ暗な空の中、星空観賞がスタートしました。
途中、雲が出てきて、少し見づらい部分もありましたが、満足できました。
今まで他の星空ツアーに数回参加していますが、今回は５本の指に入るぐらいの星空でした。
目的地の石垣島星空ファームは夜だとわかりづらく、グーグルマップを頼りに行きましたが、目的地についても何もなかったので、不安でしたが、道端に係の人が近づいてきて駐車場を案内してくれたので、安心しました。

The starry sky was beautiful, but I was scared to drive for 30 minutes on the completely dark road to get there. After gathering at the location, I was also anxious about walking on the dark, uneven path, worried about stepping on snakes. Considering the travel time, safety, and convenience, I thought a hotel tour would be sufficient.

星空はきれいでしたが、現地まで真っ暗な道を30分運転するのが怖かった。また現地集合のあと、足元の悪い真っ暗な道を徒歩移動するのも、ヘビとか踏まないか不安だった。
移動時間や安全性、手軽さを考慮すると、ホテルのツアーで充分かなと思いました。

I was able to see a shooting star that I will probably never see again in my lifetime. The explanation about the stars was easy to understand, and it became a very good memory.

恐らく一生見ることができない流れ星がみれました。
星の説明もわかりやすく、とても良い思い出になりました。

The guide's explanations were easy to understand and enjoyable! I was able to see the long-awaited freshwater crab, took photos together, and saw a sky full of stars. I am extremely satisfied! It was so much fun! Thank you very much!

ガイドさんの説明がわかりやすく楽しかった！念願のサワガニを見られ、写真も一緒に撮らしてもらい、満点の星空が見れ、大満足です！めっちゃ楽しかったです！ありがとうございました！

It started off a bit nervously, with the number of old buses and lights being slightly insufficient. However, once we got going, the guides' love for nature really lifted the participants' spirits, and we ended up very satisfied. They found a small scorpion just a few centimeters in a crack in the rocks and showed it to the kids, creating an atmosphere that kept the little ones excited until the very end, wondering if they would find something else. It was fantastic.

When animals and insects appeared illuminated by the lights in the dark, it really boosted our excitement. The guides had a wealth of knowledge about constellations, entertaining not just the children but the adults as well. Perhaps the greatest charm lies in the guides' knowledge and character rather than nature itself! Thank you very much!

年季が入ったバスやライトの数がわずかに足りないとか、少々不安に感じるスタートではありました。
ですが、始まってみるとガイドさん達の自然大好きオーラが参加者の気分を大いに盛り上げてくれて大満足で終えられました。
岩の隙間の数センチの小さなサソリを見つけて子供に見せてくれたり、小さな子供達を最後の最後まで、何かまた見つけられるのではないかとラワクワクさせてくれる雰囲気作りは素晴らしかったです。
暗がりをライトで照らした先に動物や昆虫がいるとめちゃくちゃテンションが上がります。

星座も知識が豊富で子供のみならず大人も楽しませてもらえます。
自然よりも、ガイドさんの知識とキャラクターが1番の魅力かもですね！
ありがとうござました！

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。

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(^ ^)

I was able to see a coconut crab!
I also got to witness a battle between the coconut crabs with the guide!
This time, the coconut crab won!
The strength of the coconut crab's pincers is impressive!
In addition to the coconut crab, I saw other creatures that are usually not visible!
It depends on luck, but I was lucky to see the coconut crab!
The stars were beautiful too!
I highly recommend this for those who want to make the most of their evening!

ヤシガニ見れました!
ガイドさんとヤシガニのバトルも見れました!
今回はヤシガニが勝ちました!
ヤシガニの挟む力つよし！
ヤシガニの他にも普段見れない生物も見れました!
ヤシガニは運にもよりますが見れたのでラッキー！

夜の時間を充実させたい方にはオススメです！

I participated in the night tour.
I had a great time seeing lots of coconut crabs!
The guides were entertaining and made the experience enjoyable.
I highly recommend it!

ヤシガニがたっくさん見れて楽しかったです！
ツアー担当の方々のトークも面白く、盛り上げてくださり楽しい体験でした^ ^
とってもおすすめです！

Since I didn't have any plans after the evening, I was looking for something to do and found this place that allows same-day reservations.

The kids and parents were all thrilled to see the coconut crabs for the first time! Even the creatures we had seen before were all large, making it a rare experience that you can only have in Miyako Island.

It seemed that there were many participants this time, so we formed one group with three families, but thanks to the guide's detailed knowledge, we spent an hour without getting bored. I also appreciated the guide's consideration in changing the leading family throughout the tour.

Personally, I was worried about whether sandals would be okay, but since we walked on paved paths, it wasn't a problem at all.

夕方以降の予定がなかったので何かないか探していたところ、当日予約可能なこちらを見つけました
初めて見るヤシガニに子ども達も親も大興奮！見たことある生き物も1匹1匹が大きくて宮古島でないと経験できない貴重な体験でした。

今回、参加人数が多かったようで、3家族で1つのグループとして回りましたが、ガイドさんの詳しい知識のおかげで飽きることなく1時間過ごせましたし、途中途中で先頭家族を変えてくださるガイドさんの配慮も有り難かったです。

個人的にサンダルで大丈夫か不安でしたが、舗装された道を歩くので問題なかったです。

I participated on the night of the new moon on August 4, 2024. Guides Rin and Sho provided explanations about the flora and fauna at a special spot in Iriomote, and we were able to find two coconut crabs! The starry sky we saw on the beach was breathtaking and became an unforgettable memory. This is a tour that you should definitely join when you visit Iriomote Island!

2024年8月4日新月の夜に参加させて頂きました。
ガイドのりんちゃん&しょうちゃんが西表のとっておきのスポットで動植物の解説をしてくださり、無事ヤシガニも2匹見つけることができました！
浜辺で見た星空は圧巻で忘れることのできない思い出となりました。
西表島に行くときは必ず参加するべきツアーです！

I highly recommend this!
It's a night tour that can be enjoyed by both children and adults!
The guide was adorable and very cute, and I had a wonderful evening with such a lovely guide.
I've always been afraid of insects, but I was truly moved to meet the natural creatures.
If you come to Iriomote Island, this is definitely a tour I would recommend!

是非オススメしたいです！
お子様から大人の方まで楽しめるナイトツアー！
ガイドさんが可愛らしくとてもキュートな方で
素敵なガイドさんと素敵な夜を過ごせました。
昔から虫は苦手でしたが自然な生物達に会えとても胸を震わされました^_^
西表島にきたら是非おすすめしたいツアーです♪

I explored through the dense grass and thicket. Our guides, Shotaro and Rintaro, provided fun explanations, making for a very enjoyable time. I was also very satisfied to meet the coconut crab (it was huge!) that I thought I wouldn't get to see.

Then, we reached the coast and were greeted by a sky full of stars. The photos Shotaro took were amazing! Stargazing was truly a wonderful experience.

On the way back, we had the excitement of possibly encountering glowing firefly larvae and other animals, making the tour enjoyable until we returned. The children were also delighted, saying they had a great time with the guides.

Thank you very much! I also appreciate your flexibility in accommodating sudden schedule changes due to the weather. I look forward to our next adventure. Good luck, Sho-chan!

とにかく鬱蒼とした草むら?雑木林の様な中を探検しながら進みました。ガイドのしょうたろうさん、りんたろうさんは楽しく色々説明してくださり大変楽しい時間でした。なかなか会えないと思っていたヤシガニ（大きい！）にも会えて大満足でした。
と思っていたら海岸に出て満点の星空⭐︎しょうたろうさんが撮ってくれた写真が最高でした！
星空鑑賞はとても最高な時間でした。
帰り道も蛍の幼虫の発光や他の動物たちとの遭遇もあり得るという楽しみを持たせてくれて帰り着くまで楽しいツアーでした。子どもたちもお兄さんたち、楽しかった〜と喜んでいました笑
ありがとうございました
また、天候により急な日程変更にも対応して頂きありがとうございました。またよろしくお願い致します。
しょうちゃん頑張ってね〜

Three nights and four days in Ishigaki Island.
I was unsure about what to do on the last night, but I found a tour for stargazing and exploring wildlife, and decided to sign up that evening.
Perhaps because I signed up at the last minute, our names were not on the list, which made me anxious, but the tour guides were kind and ensured we could join.
During the drive, the guide shared interesting and detailed stories about the wildlife, stars, and the charm of Ishigaki Island, which helped us learn a lot.
On the wildlife exploration, we were able to find more creatures unique to Ishigaki Island than I had imagined, which was moving and extremely satisfying. After walking through the jungle, we emerged onto the beach and were once again amazed by the suddenly expansive starry sky!
Stargazing and wildlife exploration—this is truly killing two birds with one stone!
I’m really glad I participated.
Seeing the guides excitedly discovering rare creatures like children made the kids excited too!

三泊四日の石垣島。
最後の夜をどうするか迷っていましたが、星空と生き物探索のツアーを見つけ、当日の夕方申し込むことに。
直前の申し込みだったためか、名簿に私たちの名前がなく、不安になりましたが、ツアーガイドのみなさんが親切に対応してくれてきちんと同行できました。
車内では、ガイドの方が生き物や星の話、石垣島の魅力等楽しく丁寧に話してくれていろいろ知ることができました。
生き物探索では、石垣島でしか見ることができない生き物を想像以上に見つけることができ、感動、大満足でした。ジャングルをしっかり歩いたあと、浜辺に出て、突然に広がる星空にまた感動！
星空と生き物、一石二鳥とはまさにこのこと！
本当に参加してよかったです。
ガイドさんたちが、子どものように、レアな生き物を見つけてはしゃいでいるのを見て、子どもらも興奮していました笑

The weather was great, and on the way to the night tour location, our guide Hiro shared interesting facts and recommendations about Ishigaki Island, which helped create a sense of camaraderie among the participants. In the jungle, we saw many coconut crabs, and the kids were thrilled. We also took photos in a dark cave, creating wonderful memories. After exiting the jungle, we reached the coastline and were greeted by a stunning starry sky. I was truly moved by the number of stars I had never seen before. It was a highly satisfying tour!

天候も良く、ナイトツアーの場所に着くまでに、ガイドのヒロさんが、石垣島のあるあるや、オススメを話してくれて、ツアー参加者の皆さんとの連帯感もできて楽しかったです。
ジャングルでは、ヤシガニを沢山みられて、子供も興奮してました。
暗い洞窟の中で、写真も撮ってもらい、良い思い出になりました。
ジャングルを抜けると、海岸にでて、満点の星空がみえました。日頃みたことのない星の数に思わず感動しました。
とても満足度の高いツアーでした！

While walking through the jungle at night, the staff provided us with detailed and enjoyable information about the plants and animals they discovered. Beyond the jungle, we were greeted by a sky full of stars! We were able to learn how to take photos and even see the Milky Way, which was truly moving. Our family of five participated, and they arranged a private tour just for us. They diligently searched for the long-awaited coconut crab, and we were able to find one, making it a night tour that left both adults and children very satisfied.

It became a wonderful memory on our last night in Ishigaki Island. If we have the opportunity to go again next time, this is a tour I would love to join.

夜のジャングルを歩きながら、スタッフの方が発見した動植物をとても詳しく楽しく教えてくれました。ジャングルを抜けた先には満点の星空！写真撮影の仕方や天の川なども見ることができ、本当に感動。家族5人で参加したのですが、家族だけでツアーを組んでいただき、念願のヤシガニも最後まで一生懸命探してくれて、発見することができ、大人も子供も大満足のナイトツアーでした。
石垣島最後の夜にとてもいい思い出になりました。また次回も行くことがあれば、参加したいツアーです。

We ventured into the jungle in search of coconut crabs.

Before we set off, our guide provided a lot of explanations about the geography and the importance of protecting the starry sky, which allowed us to explore with some background knowledge.

I was thrilled to see the starry sky, the coconut crabs, and the long-awaited Semaruhakogame (a type of turtle). The children were also very curious. Thank you so much for patiently answering their questions.

I had been thinking that maybe it would have been better to go in the fall or winter since we didn't see manta rays while diving, but it turned out that the jungle creatures are more active in the summer, so I'm glad we went.

ジャングルの中をヤシガニを求めて進んで行きました。

行くまでもガイドの方が地理的なお話、星空を守るための話など、たくさん解説をしてくださり、予備知識をもとに探索することができました。

星空もヤシガニも、念願のセマルハコガメにも会えて嬉しかったです。
子供達も興味深々。
子供の問いかけにも丁寧に返してくださり、本当にありがとうございました。

ダイビングでマンタに会えず、秋か冬が良かったかな？と思ってましたが、ジャングルの生き物達は夏が元気という事で、行けて良かったです。
