All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

At first, I was anxious about what it would be like, but my wife and I were moved and glad we came. The timing was just right, about an hour long.

最初はどんなものかと不安でしたが、来てよかったねと妻と感動。
時間も1時間程度とちょうどよかった。

I participated with a friend. When we arrived, I was disappointed to see the sky covered with clouds, but... the clouds gradually cleared, and we were able to see a sky full of stars, which was amazing. It was fun to look at the stars through binoculars while listening to the detailed explanations! I would like to participate again.

友人と2人で参加しました。
現地に到着した時、雲に覆われていた空を見て残念に思っていたのですが…
どんどん雲が取れていき、満天の星空が見れて最高でした。
双眼鏡で星を見ながら、丁寧な解説を聞くことができて楽しかったです！
また、参加したいと思いました。

It was unfortunately cloudy, but the instructors were very interesting and taught us with great care! You can move and swim very freely, so you can enjoy it at your own pace! They lent us wetsuits, so when we got tired, we could just float and didn't get too exhausted, allowing us to stay until the end! The warm tea on the boat was also delicious!

あいにくの曇りでしたが、インストラクターさん達もとても面白く、丁寧に教えてくださいました！！
とても自由に移動・泳げるので、自分のペースで楽しめます！！
ウエットスーツを貸してくださったので、疲れた時はぷかぷか浮いていられて、あまり疲れるとこなく、最後までいられました！！
船上での暖かいお茶も美味しかったです！！

It was cloudy, so we couldn't see the stars, and it turned into a night cruise. The stories of the older gentleman who was talking to the guide were not interesting at all.

曇りで星が見えなかったので、ナイトクルーズになりました。ずっと、ガイドさんとはなしているおじさんの話が面白くなかったので。

Even though it was March, the nights were quite cold, but I was moved by the starry sky that stretched 360° around me! I was very satisfied to see shooting stars as well☆ The explanation of the constellations was clear and easy to understand, using a laser pointer, and the hour flew by in no time! I was worried about not being able to see the stars due to clouds, which made me hesitate to book the stargazing tour, but the appeal of being able to join on the day, cancel, and the availability of transportation (though it was an extra fee, it was helpful since many tours meet on-site) made me decide to participate in this stargazing tour! Thank you for the wonderful experience! I will join again when I visit Ishigaki Island ((o(^∇^)o))

3月と言えど夜はかなり寒かったですが、360°見渡す限りの星空に感動！流れ星も観れて大変満足でした☆
星座の解説もレーザーポインターを使って分かりやすく、あっという間の1時間でした！
曇りで星が見えなかったらどうしようと星空ツアー予約を悩んでましたが、当日参加やキャンセルOK、送迎あり(別途有料ですが現地集合のツアーが多いので助かりました)というのが魅力でこの星空ツアーに参加決めました！
感動をありがとうございます！石垣島に行ったらまた参加します((o(^∇^)o))

I was unsure whether to participate until the day of the event and made a reservation around 5:00 PM. I'm so glad I joined!!!

I attended alone, but since it was a stargazing event in complete darkness, it didn't bother me at all. In fact, I was able to enjoy it at my own pace, so if anyone is hesitating to join alone, I highly recommend participating!

I live in Iwate Prefecture and thought the stars here were beautiful, but it was nothing to compare to this! The closeness and brightness of the stars were completely different.

Even if you're wondering which star is which, the guide uses a laser pointer to point out the stars, so you can feel at ease. I was also moved to use binoculars for the first time.

I appreciated the service of blankets and warm sanpin tea. Even though Ishigaki Island is warm, it can get a bit chilly at night, so I think it's good to have something to wrap yourself in.

I definitely want to participate again when I visit Ishigaki Island! Thank you very much.

当日まで参加するかしないか悩んで、17:00頃に予約しました。参加してよかったです！！！
ひとりでの参加でしたが、真っ暗な中での星空観察なので全然気になりませんでした。むしろ自分のペースで見れたからひとり出の参加を躊躇ってる方がいたら、ぜひ参加することをおすすめします！
岩手県に住んでいて、こっちの空も星がきれいって思ってたけど、比べるものじゃなかったです！星の近さと輝きが全然違いました。
どの星？って思ってもガイドの方がレーザーポインターを使って星を指してくれるので、安心です。双眼鏡も初めて使って感動しました。
ブランケットと暖かいさんぴん茶のサービスが嬉しいです。暖かい石垣島とはいえ、夜は少し冷えるので、なにか羽織るものがあるといいと思います。
また石垣島に訪れた際は絶対に参加したいと思います！ありがとうございました。

Even though it's Ishigaki Island, the nights in March were quite cold. I wish the pre-trip email had clearly mentioned to dress warmly and take care of restroom needs. The stars were clearly visible, and the explanations were easy to understand.

石垣島とはいえ3月の夜はかなり寒かったです。事前メールに防寒・トイレ済ますよう明記して欲しかったです。星は良く見え説明も分かりやすかったです。

I had a great time canoeing and trekking. I heard that Sangara Falls gets a lot of visitors in the summer, but since it's the off-season now, it was just us. On the way back, the water level had decreased, making it quite challenging to paddle the canoe, but it was fun.

カヌー＆トレッキングで楽しい時間を過ごせました。サンガラの滝は、夏は多くの人がおとずれるそうですが、今は、オフシーズンなので、私たちだけでした。帰りは、水かさが少なくなり、カヌーを漕ぐのがなかなか大変でしたが、楽しかったです。

I was imagining stars falling, but unfortunately, it was a cloudy sky.
However, I was able to see some very beautiful stars through the gaps in the clouds.
The explanation was easy to understand, and it was a very valuable experience.
I would like to try again on a clear day.

降る様な星をイメージしてましたがあいにくの曇り空。
でも雲の合間からとてもきれいな星を見ることができました。
説明もわかりやすくとても貴重な体験がでした。
晴れた日にもう一度チャレンジしたいです。

The atmosphere was already enchanting as I walked along the path guided by the soft light placed on the ground, contrasting with the tall plants. I was able to comfortably gaze at the stars without straining my neck in the reclining chair. As promised, I could clearly recognize the colors of the stars through the binoculars, and I would love to participate again in another season to see different stars. Thank you very much.

背の高い植物と対照的に地面に置かれた淡い光に誘導される道を歩く時点ですでに幻想的な雰囲気。リクライニング・チェアで首が痛くなることもなく、気持ちよく星を眺めることができました。また、説明通り、双眼鏡で見せていただいた星の色もハッキリ認識する事ができ、別の星が見れるほかの季節にもまた参加したいと思います。どうもありがとうございました。

I was amazed by the number of stars.
It was a wonderful time that you can't experience in the city.
The explanation using lasers was interesting and easy to understand; the hour flew by.
Next time, I would like to participate during the new moon.

星の多さに驚きました。
都会では味わえない素敵な時間でした。
レーザーを使った解説も面白くて分かりやすくあっという間の1時間でした。
次は新月の時に参加してみたいです。

It was my first time stargazing. It was a breathtaking view that you definitely can't see in Tokyo. Sitting in a chair and looking at the sky while listening to the guide's stories was very interesting. The stories about stars and the universe were also fascinating. There were many shooting stars as well. Thank you for a wonderful time that felt like being in a planetarium.

始めての星空観察。東京では絶対見られないような、絶景でした。
椅子に座って、空を眺めながら、ガイドさんのお話でとても面白かったです。星の話から宇宙の話もとても面白かったです。流れ星もたくさん流れてました
プラネタリウムにいるような素敵な時間ありがとうございます。

The day started off cloudy. As soon as we landed on the phantom island, it started to rain (。>д<). It was a bit chilly with the wind. By the time we reached the snorkeling spot, the weather gradually improved and it became sunny‼ The previous day had been heavy rain. Since we were scheduled to leave that day, it was the best to finally see the clear blue sea (о´∀`о). It was really beautiful!

朝から天気は曇りでスタート。幻の島上陸したとたん雨(。>д<)風もあって、少し寒かったです。シュノーケリングの場所についた頃には少しずつ天気も回復し、晴れました‼全日は大雨。この日に帰る予定だったので、最後に晴れて青い海が見られて最高でした(о´∀`о)とってもキレイでした！

I was really moved by how close the stars were and how many I could see. I got to see the rings of Saturn and my own constellation, which are things I could never see normally. I want to participate again someday. This was my first time experiencing something like this!

星があんなに近く、たくさん見れる事なんてそうそうない事なのですごく感動しました。
土星の輪っか、自分の星座、など普段では絶対見れない星座が見れて、いつかまた参加したいと思いました。こんな経験、初めて〜〜‼️

My first stargazing experience was wonderful. The cute, slightly nervous announcements from the new guide were also very nice. The information about the stars and the universe that I heard for the first time was fascinating, and I was able to see many shooting stars! I did wish that the last five minutes could have been without a guide, allowing for a silent stargazing experience... (ﾟ∀ﾟ) Also, I was mistakenly charged too much for the shuttle bus fare, but I realized it at the end and got a refund. If it weren't for such mistakes, it would have been perfect! ^ ^

初めての星空観測。
新人ガイドさんのかわいらしい緊張気味のアナウンスもとてもよかったです。
初めて聞く星や宇宙のことがおもしろく、流れ星もたくさん見れました！
最後の5分間くらいはガイドもなく、無音で星空観測ができたらなぁ〜とは思いましたが…(ﾟ∀ﾟ)
あと、送迎のバス料金が間違って多く取られてしまいましたが、最後に気づいて返金してもらいました。
そのようなミスが無ければ、満点かなと^ ^

I could see a lot of stars up close, and it was the best time. The explanations were very easy to understand, which was great. I was very satisfied.

Participating in the tour with transportation included made it convenient.

星が まじかに沢山見えて 最高の時間でした
説明も大変分かりやすく良かった。大満足でした

ツアーに参加して 送迎もついており
楽でした

The day was sunny, but it became cloudy as the night approached, and as the tour started, the stars gradually became less visible. It was disappointing since the tour was mainly about the stars. I think it would be a great tour if the stars were clearly visible.

当日は晴れてたのですが夜にかけて曇りだし、ツアーが始まるとだんだん星が見えなくなってしまいました。
星がメインのツアーだけに残念でした。
綺麗に星が見えたら、とてもいいツアーだと思います。

The world of celestial bodies is profound. It was clear that the person explaining really loves stars and the universe. I learned so much and now I want to see stars from different seasons. My 9-year-old daughter seems to be interested as well. August 28 corresponds to the 7th day of the 7th month in the lunar calendar, and I saw the Milky Way along with Orihime and Hikoboshi for the first time in my life. Next time, I want to see the Southern Cross.

天体の世界は、奥深い。説明して頂いた方が本当に星と言うか宇宙が好きなんだって伝わってきました。こちらも知らないことばかりで…違う季節の星も見たくなりました。9歳の娘も興味を持ったようです。8/28は、旧暦の7/7に当たるそうで…生まれて初めて天の川と織姫、彦星を見ました。
次回は南十字座を見たいです。

I experienced my second starry night in my life. The first was during my teenage years at the ruins of Nanao Castle in Hokuriku. This time, I was overwhelmed by countless stars and the Milky Way stretching across the sky. I saw seven shooting stars! I couldn't make my wishes in time. The starry sky in Ishigaki Island is absolutely amazing! I hope to have another opportunity.

人生で二度目の星降る夜を体験しました、一度目は10代の頃に行った北陸七尾城跡の夜空、今回は無数の星と天空に広がる天の川に圧倒されました、流れ星は７個！願い事は間に合わないね〜石垣島の星空は、最高に素晴らしい！もう一度、機会があれば。

For our family, who originally planned to stay in Ishigaki for just two nights, the first day was canceled due to rain. I was wondering what the next day would be like, but we were able to enjoy stargazing in very good conditions!

My child said that this stargazing tour was the best part of our five-day trip. I was also very satisfied as I was able to see nearly ten shooting stars.

However, there was a very small child (a non-walking baby) present who cried almost the entire time from the beginning to the end.

I was seated away from them, but even so, I couldn't hear the explanations, and the baby must have been anxious in the dark... I felt it would be better to have conditions such as not allowing children under three to participate. I think the people sitting right next to them must have found it quite difficult.

I was disappointed that I couldn't take good photos of the stars, so I would like to try again someday.

石垣に2泊しかしない予定だった私たち家族にとって、
1日目が雨となり中止。翌日はどうなるのか、、、と思っていたら、
とても良い状態での星空浴をすることができました！

子どもも5日間の旅でこの星空ツアーが一番良かったと言っています。
私も流れ星を10個近く見ることができて、大満足です。

ただ、とても小さなお子さん（歩けない赤ちゃん）をお連れの方が
いて、最初からほぼ最後まで泣きどおし、、、

私は席が離れていましたが、それでも説明が聞こえない上に、
赤ちゃんも真っ暗で不安だろうし、、、3歳以下は参加できないなど
条件を付けられた方が良いかと感じました。真横にいらっしゃった方々は
正直たまったもんじゃないと思います。

星空写真が上手く撮れなくて残念だったので、またいつかチャレンジしたいです。

It was my first time seeing such a beautiful Milky Way. There are stars and constellations that can be seen in different seasons, so I would like to see them in another season. The guide was also knowledgeable about the stars, and it was very easy to understand.

あんなに綺麗な天の川を見たのは初めてでした。
季節ごとに見れる星、星座もあるので、季節を変えて見たいです。
ガイドさんも星に詳しい人で、とてもわかりやすかったです。

It was supposed to be a discussion about choosing a location based on the weather that day, but the moonlight made it difficult to see the stars, and there were clouds everywhere! When I returned to my accommodation in Hirakawa, the sky was completely filled with stars, and I was disappointed thinking I shouldn't have spent money and time to go see them. Also, on the day itself, there was no email with location information, and the address provided over the phone for nearby places was completely off. It's a shame.

その日の天候に合わせて場所を決める様な話だった筈なのに、月明かりで星が見難い上に、雲が一面に‼︎ 平川の宿泊先に戻ったら、一面星空になっていて、わざわざお金と時間使って見に行かなければ良かった〜と、がっかりしました。
また、当日になっても場所案内のメールもなく、電話で教えて貰った近隣とされる住所は、まったく見当違いの場所でした。
残念です。

Ishigaki Island has a beautiful starry sky that can be enjoyed without taking a boat, and the explanations of the many stars were very easy to understand and enjoyable.

石垣島は船に乗らなくても、十分綺麗な星空が見られるが、たくさんの星の解説がとても分かりやすく楽しかった。

I felt that it was worth coming to Ishigaki just for this. Perhaps it's one of the best places in the world for star observation? It was even more amazing than the Big Island of Hawaii. The guide's explanations were great, and I believe it was definitely worth the money I paid.

これだけで石垣に来た甲斐があったと思いました。
恐らく、星の観測では世界一に近い場所では？ハワイ島よりも凄かった。ガイドの説明も良くって、お金を払った価値は充分あったと思っています。

On my first trip to Ishigaki Island, while just sightseeing would have been nice, I wanted to see the beautiful ocean and southern fish since I had come all the way from Hokkaido, so I joined this tour. The staff were friendly and explained everything in detail, and the boat was a large one that could accommodate 100 people, so we had plenty of space to relax. It seemed like they took us to the best spots based on the day's weather and wave conditions. The staff accompanied us while snorkeling and explained various fish. We even saw Nemo! The waves were calm that day, and we had a great time. However, it was unfortunate that they didn't inform us of the departure time, so I wasn't sure how long we could enjoy snorkeling and couldn't make the most of it. I think it might depend on the weather, but if you're visiting Okinawa, I definitely recommend participating.

初めての石垣島で、普通に観光するのもいいけど　せっかく北海道から南の果てまで来たので綺麗な海と南の魚を見たくてこのツアーに参加しました。
スタッフは気さくで丁寧に説明してくれて、船も１００人乗りの大きな船で余裕で過ごせました。
その日の天気と波の状態で一番良いところに連れて行ってくれるみたいでした。
スタッフがシュノーケリング中ついてくれて色々な魚とかを説明してくれました。ニモもいたよ！
この日は波も穏やかで楽しめました。
ただ出発時間を教えてくれてなかったので、いつまでシュノーケリングで自由時間を過ごせるか解らなくて有効に使えなかったのが残念でした。
天気にも左右されるかと思いますが、折角沖縄に来たなら参加するのをお勧めします。

I had a wonderful experience with the best weather. The snorkeling lecture was thorough, so I was able to see many fish without any issues. I was constantly amazed by the scenery on the phantom island. They even lent me a mermaid costume for free. Next time, I want to sign up for the full-day course.

最高の天気で素晴らしい経験ができました。シュノーケルのレクチャーをしっかりして頂いたので、全く問題なくたくさんの魚を見る事ができました。幻の島では景色に感動しっぱなしでした。マーメイドの衣装を無料で貸して頂きました。次回は１日コースを申し込みたいです。

The venue is located in a place surrounded by fields, making it very quiet. The local staff mentioned that the viewing area is enclosed with a fence to keep away pests, and there are reclining chairs that allow you to enjoy a 360° view of many stars. During the viewing, the staff provided detailed information about the stars and constellations according to the movement of the clouds, which sparked my interest in astronomy and made for a very fulfilling experience. Since the area is surrounded by fields, I recommend bringing insect repellent spray if you're concerned about mosquitoes, as it will help you focus on stargazing.

会場は畑しかない場所ということもあり、とても静かで、現地のスタッフさんもおっしゃってましたが、鑑賞スペースは一面ハブ避けのフェンスが張られていてリクライニングチェアで360℃たくさんの星を眺めることが出来ました。鑑賞中は雲の動きに合わせて見える星や星座についてスタッフの方が詳しく教えてくれていたので、星にとても興味が湧きとっても充実した時間を過ごせました。辺りは畑なので蚊が気になる方は虫除けスプレーを持っていかれると集中して星を眺められると思います。

I was lucky to participate on a clear night. We went about 10 minutes offshore from the port, stopped the boat, and observed the stars. We could see stars just above the horizon, including the Southern Cross. The staff explained the constellations, which was very informative. The boarding location is close to the 730 intersection, making access smooth. The boat is new and very comfortable. Sitting on the front bench and feeling the breeze while cruising is very pleasant. It became an unforgettable experience in Ishigaki Island.

晴れた日の夜に参加することができラッキーでした。港から10分程度沖に出て、船を止め、そこで星を観察しました。水平線すれすれの星まで見れ、南十字星も見れました。スタッフの方が星座について説明してくださり、とてもよくわかりました。乗船場所も730交差点から近く、スムースにアクセスできます。船は新しくとても快適。先端のベンチに座って風を受けながらクルーズするととても気持ち良いです。石垣島での忘れられない体験になりました。

I was very satisfied that I could see the Southern Cross.
I heard it would be cold, so I brought my own hotel bath towel. There are blankets available, but I recommend that those who are sensitive to the cold bring their own as well.

I appreciated the service of warm tea.
Next, I want to go see the Milky Way.

南十字星もみることができ、とても満足しました。
寒いと聞いていたのでホテルのバスタオルを持参しました。ブランケットの用意もありますが寒がりな人は自分でも用意をした方がオススメです。

温かいお茶のサービスもありがたかったです。
次は天の川も見に行きたいです。

The captain and all the staff were very kind.
We went snorkeling between Taketomi Island and Ishigaki Island. The view from the boat before reaching the snorkeling point was a vibrant blue sea that I had never seen before, and it was truly moving!!
During snorkeling, they taught us how to wear the masks, so very little water got in, and we were able to swim comfortably. They also explained the names of the fish, which allowed us to enjoy a different experience than just swimming on our own.
There was also a shower room with shampoo and conditioner provided, so we could go straight to the airport comfortably. I would like to use their services again next time. I want to go diving next time to see a different view. Thank you very much!!

船長さんをはじめスタッフのみなさんがとても親切でした。
竹富島と石垣島の間でのシューノケリングをしました。ポイントに着くまでの船からみる景色が今までに見たことのない鮮やかな青い海でとても感動しました!!
シュノーケルの際にはマスクの付け方を教えて頂きほとんど水が入らず快適に泳ぐことができました。また魚の名前も説明して頂き自分たちだけでは泳ぐ時とは違う楽しみ方ができました。
シャワー室もありシャンプーやリンスも備え付けであったため、そのまま飛行機に乗ることができ快適でした。次回もまたお世話になりたいと思っています。次はダイビングでまた違う景色を見にいきたいと思います。ありがとうございました!!
