All Reviews for Stargazing

Just before the typhoon, ocean activities were uncertain... I made a reservation, thinking I could still make it even if I signed up in the evening! On the day of the event, they kindly explained that the weather might make it difficult to see the stars and confirmed whether I still wanted to participate.

To be honest, due to the timing, the moon was too bright, so it wasn't a perfect starry sky! However, I was satisfied as I could enjoy moonbathing and saw some stars when the clouds cleared. It was also my first time seeing the moon's patterns clearly through binoculars, which I personally found enjoyable! I was worried about mosquitoes and bugs, but it turns out there weren't many at all. I definitely want to participate again on a clear day!

台風直前で海のアクティビティが危うい…夕方申込でも間に合う！と予約をしました。
当日は到着して天候や星空が見えにくい可能性があることも丁寧に説明していただき、その上で参加されるかどうか確認がありました。
結果から言うと時期的に月が眩し過ぎて満点の星空！ではありませんでしたが月光浴が出来たり、雲がはけたタイミングで星が見えたりと満足でした。双眼鏡でくっきりと月の模様を見たのも初めてだったので個人的には楽しかったです！蚊や虫が不安でした意外といないそうです。次は快晴の時にぜひ参加したいです。

I was moved by the starry sky! The stories about the stars and constellations were fascinating, and I wanted to hear more and more. It's fun to recognize the shapes of the constellations! Thank you for a wonderful time!

満天の星空に感動しました❗️星や星座のお話も興味深く、もっともっと聞きたかったです。星座の形がわかると楽しいですね！素敵な時間をありがとうございました❗

There were a few clouds, and cancellations were possible, but we headed to the site. Upon arrival, the guide explained, "There are clouds in that direction, and given the current situation, there is a possibility that clouds may come from there." They kindly confirmed with us, "Will you participate?"

During our stay in Ishigaki Island, we experienced the rapidly changing weather, so we decided to go ahead with the tour. The children's cheers when they sat in the reclining chairs (one in middle school and one in fourth grade) were amazing! They were so excited!

After that, there were indeed times when clouds obscured the stars, but the guide provided explanations about the visible stars, and before we knew it, time flew by. In the end, we were able to see a perfectly clear starry sky without a single cloud. I highly recommend the stargazing tour!

雲が少しあり、キャンセルも可能の中、現地へと向かいました。現地に着いてからもガイドの方から、「雲が向こうの方向にあって、今の状況だとあそこから雲が来る可能性があります。」との説明があり、「参加されますか？」と優しく最終確認をしていただきました。
石垣島に滞在している間、天気がコロコロ変わるのを体感していたので、そのままツアーに参加することにしました。リクライニングチェアに座った時の子供たち（中1，小4）の歓声はすごかったです！大興奮でした笑
その後、やはり雲で星が隠れることもありましたが、見えている部分の星の説明をしていただいたりと、あっという間に時間は過ぎ、最後の方は、雲一つない満点の星空を見ることができました。星空ツアーかなりおすすめです！！

The guide was very enjoyable, sharing various stories during the car ride. I was extremely satisfied to see many creatures, including several coconut crabs, crabs, hermit crabs, firefly larvae, and frogs! And above all, I was moved by the breathtaking starry sky and the Milky Way!

行きの車の中でも色々なお話をしてくださって、とっても楽しいガイドさんでした。生き物も、ヤシガニが何匹も見れて、カニ、ヤドカリ、ホタルの幼虫やカエルなどもたくさん見れて、大満足です！あとはなんと言っても満天の星空、天の川が見れて感動しました！

It was very good!
The story about the constellations was informative and interesting.
I just thought it would be nice if the reclining feature could lean back a bit more, and if it's not too difficult, having something like a yoga mat to make it completely flat would be even better.
It was a bit disappointing that it rained heavily at one point, but overall, it was great.
Thank you!

とても良かったです！
星座のお話もためになり、興味深かったです。
ただ、リクライニングがもう少し倒れるといーかなぁと言うのと、もし難しければヨガマット的なものでも良いので完全フラットになれば更に最高かもでした。
途中雨がひどくそれがやや残念でしたが、いずれにしても良かったです。
ありがとうございました！

I had a wonderful time with our tour guide, Mr. Kimura. I was able to see creatures that I normally wouldn't see, and at night on the beach, I could gaze at the starry sky, which was a precious experience! If I come to Ishigaki Island again, I definitely want to participate!

ツアーガイドの木村さんのガイドで楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
普段見ることはできない生物も見見ることができ、また、夜のビーチでは満天の星空を眺めることもでき、貴重な体験をすることできました!また、石垣島に来たら、ぜひ参加したいです!

I had a great time seeing various creatures like coconut crabs, firefly larvae, and hermit crabs! The weather was beautifully clear, and the starry sky was very visible, making it a wonderful memory.

ヤシガニやホタルの幼虫、ヤドカリなど様々な生き物が見れて楽しかったです！ちょうどきれいに晴れて星空もよく見え、良い思い出になりました。

With the guidance of a lively guide, I had a truly valuable experience. I encountered coconut crabs and fireflies, which are experiences you usually can't have. I highly recommend it!

元気なガイドさんの案内のもと、本当に貴重な体験が出来ました。ヤシガニや蛍との出会いなど、普段は経験出来ない体験が出来ます。オススメですよ〜！

I was glad to see many creatures that are not usually seen, such as coconut crabs, scorpions, and the natural monument hermit crabs!

ヤシガニやサソリモドキ、天然記念物のヤドカリとか普段見られない生き物をたくさん見れたのでよかったです！

We participated with six elementary school students and one middle school student. It seems they had a great time actually seeing the stars they learned about in school. The guide provided a detailed and interesting explanation while showing us the state of the sky as the stars became visible. Thank you for kindly answering the children's questions even after the event.

小学生6人中学生1人と参加しました。
学校で習った星を実際に見ることができ、とても楽しかったようです。ガイドの方は、この星が丁度見えるようになったので等空の状態を見ながら詳しくおもしろく説明してくれました。終わった後も子ども達の質問に丁寧に答えて頂きありがとうございました。

I took my 3-year-old and 5-year-old children with me. During the car ride to and from the tour, the guide shared various stories that kept the atmosphere lively, but my younger child fell into a deep sleep due to the late hour and slept through half of the tour (laughs). My timid older child was scared of the night jungle but still went on the exploration. The guide found two coconut crabs for us and showed us various insects and the beautiful starry sky. Although the children were frightened, I think experiencing the vitality and intensity of the night jungle was a valuable experience.

3歳と5歳の子どもを連れて行きました。行き帰りの車ではガイドさんが色んなお話をしてくれて盛り上げてくれましたが、下の子は時間が遅いのもあって爆睡してしまい、ツアー半ばまで寝てしまいました（苦笑）
ビビりの上の子は夜のジャングルに怖いと言いながら探検。ガイドさんがヤシガニを二匹も見つけてくれたり、色んな虫や綺麗な星空をみせてくれました。子どもは怖がってましたが、夜のジャングルの生命力や迫力を肌で感じるのも良い経験だったと思います。

I searched for and booked a night tour to enjoy my trip to Ishigaki without wasting time. Since I had never experienced entering a jungle before, the night jungle experience and stargazing made for a satisfying tour!

無駄無く石垣旅行を楽しむために夜のツアーを探して申し込みしました。
ジャングルに入ること自体経験ない所、夜のジャングル体験、星空観測もあったので満足なツアーでした！

I heard that the temperature has dropped, making it a day when you're less likely to encounter insects, but the mountain path at night, the dark sea, and the starry sky were all new experiences for a city kid like me. I was lucky to see a coconut crab up close enough to touch!

気温が下がり、虫に遭遇しずらい日だと聞きましたが、夜の山道と暗い海、星空、街育ちの子供には目新しいものばかりでした。
ヤシガニも触れるくらいすぐ近くで見られてラッキーでした！

I participated in the Stargazing Jungle Night Tour this time. First of all, the staff who guided us were bright and approachable, and they were very kind, allowing us to have a truly fulfilling time! As for the tour, both the starry sky and the jungle wildlife were in the best condition. We not only saw a sky full of stars but also shooting stars and the Milky Way for the first time in my life. The wildlife included a big hermit crab, sea snakes, and island-specific insects, all of which I saw for the first time! If I have the opportunity to visit Ishigaki Island again, I would definitely like to sign up!

今回、星空ジャングルナイトツアーに参加させてもらいました。まず案内していただいたスタッフさんが、明るく接しやすい方で、非常に親切に接していただき、非常に充実した時間を過ごすことが出来ました！ツアーに関しても、星空もジャングルの野生動物もベストなコンディションで、満点の星空はもちろんのこと、流れ星や人生初の天の川まで見れ、野生動物ではビッグサイズなヤドカリ、ウミヘビ、島特有サイズの虫など人生初で見れたものばかりでした！また石垣島へ訪れる機会がありましたら、ぜひ申し込みたいと思います！

We participated with two adults and a 4-year-old child. We were very satisfied as we could see not only the coconut crabs but also many other creatures, along with a beautiful starry sky. The guide was very curious and considerate of our lively child, which was extremely helpful. We had a wonderful time. This tour is highly recommended. Thank you very much.

夫婦2名と4歳の子連れで参加しました。
ヤシガニのほか多くの生き物のほか、綺麗な星空も見ることができて大変満足しています。
ガイドさんは好奇心旺盛でやんちゃな子供にも気遣ってくれて非常に助かりました。
とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。おすすめのツアーです。
ありがとうございました。

The guidance was smooth, and the person in charge was also from Kansai, making it easy to talk. The tour content was great, with beautiful stars, good weather, and an excellent guide!

案内もスムーズで担当の方が同じ関西出身の方で話がしやすかったです。
ツアー内容も、星がきれいで天気もよくガイドも最高でした！

There are no special facilities, but the beautiful starry sky with no lights around is the ultimate luxury. The explanation was enjoyable too. I thought the time would be short when I participated, but it was just the right length for families with children.

特別な施設は無いが、周囲に何も明かりがないきれいな星空が最高の贅沢。解説も楽しかった。時間は短いのかなと思って参加したが、子連れには丁度良い長さだった。

This time, I went to Ishigaki Island for a 2-night, 3-day trip and did various things. The best experience for my 6-year-old daughter, myself, and my mother was the stargazing tour. The weather was perfect, and we could see the Milky Way beautifully. The explanations of the stars using a laser pointer were incredibly easy to understand, making it feel like a real planetarium for an hour that flew by. I would love to come back in a different season to see other stars. Thank you very much.

今回、２泊３日で石垣島へ行き色々な事をしました。6年の娘も私、母親も一番良かったのが星空鑑賞ツアーです。
最高のお天気で天の川も綺麗に見えました。レーザーポイントを使って星の説明は凄く分かりやすく本当の星でのプラネタリウムであっという間の１時間でした。また、違う星の見える季節にも来たいです。ありがとうございました。

I was able to finally find the coconut crab! I also encountered various creatures like turtles and owls. It was so much fun to explore and search for them in nature, so I'm really glad I participated! ◡̈

念願のヤシガニを見つけることができました！他にもカメやフクロウなど様々な生き物に出会えました。自然の中を進んで自分で探すのがとっても楽しかったので参加してよかったです◡̈

I was able to encounter many creatures, such as the natural monument box turtle, habu snake, coconut crab, and glowing firefly larvae! The children were also very happy.
I could clearly see shooting stars and the Milky Way, and it was truly beautiful.
The guide was kind and had interesting stories, making for a fun time!

天然記念物のハコガメやハブ、ヤシガニ、光る蛍の幼虫など沢山の生き物に出会うことができたした！子どもも大喜びでした。
流れ星や天の川も、ハッキリ見れて本当に綺麗でした。
ガイドさんも親切でお話が面白くて、楽しい時間を過ごせました！

I finally made it to my long-awaited trip to Ishigaki Island! One of the things I planned was a night tour, which I booked from here! On the day of the tour, despite a few clouds in the sky, it started with the guide saying, "You rarely see a sunset like this!" and they kept the energy up with lots of conversation in the car!

When we arrived at the point and the tour began, the guide provided detailed explanations about various plants and creatures, as well as the terrain, making it really enjoyable! We spotted two coconut crabs, and even though there were some clouds, we were able to see the Milky Way at the guide's special spot!

This was the perfect start to my three-year-awaited trip to Ishigaki Island! The guide, Moepi, was amazing!! Thank you!!!

念願の石垣島旅行にやっと来れました！
色んなことを計画した中の一つにナイトツアーを選びこちらから予約しました！
当日、空に少し雲がかかる中、いきなりガイドさんの「こんな夕焼けなかなかないですよっ！」の一言から始まり、車中でもたくさん話してくれてテンションをあげてもらいました！
ポイントに着きツアーが始まると、色んな植物や生物の説明を詳しく教えてくれたり地形の説明などもおりまぜ楽しませてもらいました！ヤシガニも2匹見つかり、少し雲がかかっていた空もガイドさんのとっておきのポイントで天の川も見れました！
三年越しの石垣島旅行の最高のスタートになりました！
ガイドの『もえぴー』最高〜！！
ありがとー！！！

I only saw two coconut crabs, but thanks to the incredibly clear weather, I was able to see a sky full of stars! The Milky Way was so visible that I could even capture it on my smartphone.

ヤシガニ二匹しか見れませんでしたが、天気がめちゃめちゃ晴れてたおかげで満天の星空が見れました！天の川もスマホでも映れるくらいばっちり見えました。

The night tour was definitely the right choice!
I was able to see many creatures that I wouldn't normally encounter, such as coconut crabs, fireflies, and camel crickets.
Along the way, the guide shared many stories about Ishigaki Island. They were a wonderful guide.
The starry sky was also amazing.
This time, I participated with just my child, but the next time I come to Ishigaki Island, I want to join with the whole family.

It was a lot of fun. Thank you!

ナイトツアー、参加して大正解でした！
ヤシガニ、蛍、カマドウマなどなど、普段なら見ることのできない生物がたくさん見れました。
道中も、ガイドさんが石垣島のお話などたくさんしてくれました。すごく素敵なガイドさんでした。
星空も最高でした。
今回は子供と2人での参加でしたが、次に石垣島に来るときは家族みんなで参加したいです。

とても楽しかったです。ありがとうございました！

There was also a stargazing tour at the hotel, but I participated in this tour instead. The area around the observation site has almost no lights, so the number of stars is completely different from what you see from the hotel. Not only can you see the Milky Way, but if you're lucky, you might also catch a shooting star. The guide's stories are very interesting as well. I highly recommend it.

ホテルで星空ツアーもあったが、こちらのツアーに参加。
見学エリアの周りには、明かりがほとんどないため、ホテルからみる空とは星の量が全く違う。天の川はもちろんのこと、運が良ければ流れ星も見えることも。ガイドさんの話もとても面白い。オススメです。

It had quite a jungle feel to it. The kids were really excited. There were plenty of insects, birds, hermit crabs, coconut crabs, snakes, and owls. Thank you very much. However, since it was a night tour, the kids started to get sleepy towards the end... and the night view wasn't that impressive either (-_-;) It was a tour that lived up to its popularity. The guide was also very attentive, which made it reassuring for families with children. It was a great help!!

割とジャングル感あり
子供はテンション上がってました。
虫、鳥、ヤドカリ、ヤシガニ、ハブ、梟と盛沢山。
ありがとうございました。
なにぶん、ナイトツアーなだけに子供は終盤眠気が勝ります。。&夜景には然程、、でしたね(-_-;)
人気なのも納得なツアーでした。
ガイドさんも丁寧で子連れでも安心。助かりました！！

Thank you for today.
I was able to feel my daughter's growth as she, who is usually timid and doesn't touch living creatures, picked up a hermit crab.
We were able to see various creatures such as coconut crabs, crabs, fireflies, four types of crabs, lizards, and owls, and the stars were incredibly beautiful, which was a wonderful experience that we can't have in our everyday lives.
Both adults and children participated with excitement and enjoyment.
It was a nice point that our guide, Mr. Kimura, was very good at storytelling and paid attention to the children.

今日はありがとうございました。
いつもはびびりで生き物触れない娘がヤドカリを掴んでいて子どもの成長を感じることが出来ました。
生き物はヤシガニ、カニ、ホタル、カニ4種類、トカゲ、ミミズクを見ることができて、星がものすごくきれいに見えたのが普段暮らしているところではできないとてもいい体験ができました。
大人も子どももドキドキ楽しく参加できました。
ガイドの木村さんがとってもお話し上手で子どもにも気を配ってくれたのがうれしいポイントでした。

Although it was a same-day reservation, the guide provided detailed knowledge throughout the night safari and taught us about various plants and animals, including coconut crabs, hermit crabs, and crabs. After the rain, the stars were beautifully visible.

当日予約でしたが、ガイドの方がナイトサファリ道中詳しい知識で色々と教えてくださり、ヤシガニやヤドカリ、蟹など色々と動植物を見ることができました。雨が降った後で星も綺麗に見えました

I was very satisfied to see many mystical things, such as coconut crabs and coral caves, under the starry sky. Especially, the guide was a bright and wonderful person, and her clear way of speaking made it easy to understand, which made this tour even more special. They lent me rubber boots, and I was completely fine without getting bitten by bugs even in short sleeves.

Thank you very much!

満天の星空の中、ヤシガニやサンゴの洞窟など
神秘的なものがたくさん見れて大満足でした。
特にガイドのお姉さんが明るく素敵な方で
ハキハキとした話し方は聞きとりやすく
このツアーをさらに特別な思い出にしてくれました。
長靴を貸してくださり、半袖でも全然虫にさされず大丈夫でした。

ありがとうございました！

Although it wasn't the best conditions due to the half moon and some clouds, when the constellations were obscured, the guide spontaneously shared stories about other constellations and introduced us to the craters on the moon that are visible because of the half moon. I had a great time! It might have been over a decade since I was this excited about the night sky. I brought my one-year-old son, and I hope to visit again when he's a bit older.

当日は半月＆少し雲が出ていたのでベストコンディションではなかったですが、星座に雲がかかってしまった時は、アドリブで他の星座のお話をしてくださったり、半月だからこそ見える月のクレーターを紹介知ってくださったりと、大変楽しむことができました！
こんなに星空に興奮したのは十数年ぶりかもしれません。1歳の息子を連れていきましたが、もう少し大きくなったら再訪したいと思います。

The guide was very kind and taught us a lot. We were able to see coconut crabs and small scorpions, and the kids were thrilled. The starry sky was also very beautiful, and we had a wonderful time. Thank you very much!

ガイドのお兄さんがとても親切で色々教えてくれました。
ヤシガニも小さなサソリも見れて、子供たちも大喜びでした。星空もとてもきれいで、楽しい一時を過ごせました。
ありがとうございました‼️
