Ishigaki/Yaeyama
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。
Joining the tour that efficiently visits the three islands was definitely the right choice. The boat to Iriomote Island was quite rocky, so it might be a good idea to bring motion sickness medication. I chose the rental bicycle plan, and since I could choose the return boat, I was able to explore the island at a leisurely pace without worrying about time.
効率よく3島を周れるツアーで参加して大正解でした。
西表島に向かう船はかなり揺れたので酔い止め持参で行った方が良いかもしれません。
レンタサイクルプランを選びましたが、帰りの船が選べたので、時間を気にせずゆっくり島内を周ることができました。
I visited Ishigaki and Iriomote Island. At first, I thought it would be impossible to cover this in one day. It was a tour packed with highlights. It was great that we could choose the return ferry time from Taketomi Island to Ishigaki. We were blessed with wonderful weather, which made it perfect.
初石垣〜西表島でした。初めではこの内容を1日で回るのは無理でしょう。いいとこ取りがギッシリ詰まった内容の濃いツアーでした。帰りの竹富島〜石垣の船の時間が選べるのでよかったです。お天気に恵まれて最高でした。
I have participated in this course several times because it's my favorite. You can enjoy a stroll at Ida Beach, a jungle cruise, a glass-bottom boat tour, and a simple local cuisine lunch. The weather at Ida Beach on that day was perfect, and the scenery was wonderful. We were able to leisurely stroll along the quiet beach, almost having it to ourselves. Unfortunately... According to the guide, this tour will end at the end of March. This is the only tour that includes Ida Beach, so please find a way to continue it!
このコースはお気に入りで何回か参加しています。
イダの浜散策、ジャングルクルーズ、グラスボートの観光と素朴な地元料理の昼食で楽しめます。
この日の「イダの浜」は天気も最高で素晴らしい景色でした。
そしてほぼ貸切状態で静かなビーチをのんびりと散策ができました。
残念なのは...
ガイドさんによるとこのツアーは3月いっぱいで終了してしまうそうです。
このツアーが唯一「イダの浜」を含んだツアーなのでなんとか継続してください!!
It was a packed day full of activities, and I had a great time. The only disappointing part was the lunch. Honestly, it wasn't tasty. I would have appreciated at least being able to have a warm bento.
盛り沢山の内容で、1日楽しめました。
唯一、残念だったのはランチです。
正直、おいしくありませんでした。せめてあったかいお弁当を食べれるとありがたいです。
It was a family trip at the end of February. The weather was cloudy and windy, so it was cold, but I was satisfied with the experience. When crossing to Yufu Island by water buffalo, we could also hear the sanshin, which created a wonderful atmosphere. It was nice to see the change in the water surface on the way there and back. Since it was a tour of the islands, there wasn't much time to look at souvenirs, but it became a great memory. The travel agency's arrangements were smooth and well done.
2月末の家族旅行でした。天候は曇りで風もあったため寒かったですが、内容は満足です。
由布島に水牛で渡るときは三線も聞けて雰囲気は最高でした。また行きと帰りで水面が変わるのも良かったです。三島巡りなのでお土産など見る時間はあまりなかったですが、いい思い出になりました。
旅行会社さんの段取りもスムーズで良かったです
The cute water buffalo, the brother's performance and singing, and the Okinawan streets were all amazing! (*^_^*) The area is spacious enough to explore comfortably by rental bike, allowing us to enjoy the beach, shops, and meals. It became a wonderful travel memory! (^o^)
かわいい水牛と、お兄さんの演奏・歌声や、沖縄らしい街並みが最高でした(*^_^*)
レンタサイクルで十分回れる広さなので、ビーチやお店、食事も楽しめました。
とても良い旅行の思い出となりました(^o^)
I participated in the extreme cold and rain.
I'm glad I could join even in the rain, but it was a harsh reality to see so much garbage floating in the sea while looking at the beautiful coral...
The activities were good overall. ^_^
極寒、雨の中参加しました
雨の中でも参加出来て良かったですが、海にゴミが沢山浮いていて綺麗な珊瑚を見ながら凄く現実でした、、、
アクティビティ的には良かったです^_^
Overall, it was a very satisfying tour. The only downside was that the mangrove cruise in Iriomote Island was unfortunately rainy. However, I heard that there are hardly any sunny days in Iriomote Island during this season, so I suppose it couldn't be helped.
全体的に大満足のツアーでした。残念だったのは、西表島のマングローブクルーズがあいにくの雨だったこと。ただ、この時期の西表島は晴れの日がほとんど無いとの話でしたので、やむを得ないのかと思いました。
The massage where they press on the pressure points can be painful, but Thai massage is soft and feels good like stretching. The approximately two hours went by in no time. Recently, I couldn't move my arms back, but after explaining my situation at the beginning, they worked on it. It was a bit painful at first, but gradually it loosened up and improved.
ツボをグリグリやられるマッサーシ゛は苦痛ですが、タイ古式はストレッチの様にソフトで気持ちがいいです。約2時間があっという間に終わってしまった感じでした。
最近腕が後ろに回らなかったのですが、始めに状況を話してほぐしてもらい、最初は少し痛かったのですが、徐々にほぐされて改善されました。
Dear Momo,
Thank you very much for using our salon. We are all filled with gratitude for your review as well.
It seems you were able to experience the essence of Thai-style stretching. At first, tight muscles may feel painful, but we are very happy to hear that you gradually felt them loosening up. We look forward to welcoming you back anytime in Ishigaki Island!
momo様
この度は当サロンのご利用、誠にありがとうございました。
また口コミのご投稿まで頂き、スタッフ一同感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです。
タイ式の醍醐味であるストレッチ、初めは凝り固まった筋肉が痛みを感じやすいですが、徐々にほぐれていく感覚を味わって頂けたようで
とても嬉しく思います。またいつでも石垣島でお待ちしております!
I had enough time and was able to experience everything smoothly, and for the three-island tour, I was able to spend a sufficient amount of time.
時間的にも余裕があり、スムーズに体験するすることもできましたし、3島めぐりとしては、十分な時間を過ごすことができました。
I used this service to efficiently enjoy island hopping on a short trip with my child. The time allocation for each island was well planned, and I was able to have a great time. On Taketomi Island, I signed up for a cycling course. Since it was stated that toddlers could join for free, I checked at the reception on the day of the event about the bicycles, and I was told, "We have children's bicycles." However, I was informed that the rental bicycles were not free, and I had to pay a fee. Parents traveling with toddlers should be aware of this.
子連れで日数の少ない旅行だった為、効率的に島巡りを楽しむ為に利用しました。
各島の時間配分もよく、楽しむことができました。竹富島ではサイクリングコースで申込みました。幼児は無料とのことだった為、自転車はどうなるのか当日の受付時に確認したところ、「子供用自転車があります」と回答されたのですがレンタサイクルでは有料と言われ、料金を支払いました。
幼児連れで行かれる方はご注意下さい。
On a cold day, it would be good for people who can't swim or the elderly. Please be careful as the way the sea looks and its colors change on bad weather days. The scenery from the sea changes, and it's quite charming.
寒い日、泳げない人、お年寄りの方などは
いいと思います。
天気が悪い日は海の映えかた、色もかわるので注意してください。
海からみる風景がかわり、なかなか乙なものです。
This was our first time visiting Ishigaki Island as a couple, and we were able to enjoy the beautiful sea and observe the fish. The captain's stories about Ishigaki Island were very unique and fantastic.
初めて夫婦で石垣島にきましたが、綺麗な海と魚の観賞が出来るとともに、船長さんの石垣島にまつわるお話がとてもユニークで最高でした。
The weather was a bit off in the morning, but by the time we arrived at Iriomote Island, the sun started to shine. On the mangrove cruise, we enjoyed a relaxed atmosphere while watching wild birds and riding on a water buffalo cart. The bus driver, who also served as our guide, was fantastic. He was very cheerful and entertaining. The lunch was delicious, and the souvenir shop was quite well-stocked, so I think you'll have a good time. On the ferry from Iriomote Island to Taketomi Island, the color of the sea kept changing, and I was amazed at how many different colors there are in the ocean. I chose the glass-bottom boat on Taketomi Island, but the wind was strong that day, and the boat rocked quite a bit, which made me feel seasick. However, it was great to see the beautifully colored fish. The schedule wasn't too hectic, so I think it's a very good option for a day trip.
朝は天気がイマイチでしたが西表島につく頃には陽が差してきました。マングローブクルーズでは野生の鳥を見たり、水牛車に乗ったりのんびりした雰囲気を楽しみました。バスの運転手さん兼ガイドさんが最高でした。とても愉快な方で面白かったです。ランチもおいしかったし、お土産屋さんもそれなりに充実していたので楽しめると思います。西表島から竹富島へのフェリーでは海の色がどんどん変わり、海の色ってこんなにたくさんあるんだ、と感動しました。竹富島では私はグラスボートを選んだのですが、この日は風が強くかなり揺れたので船酔いしてしまいましたが、きれいな色の魚が見れたのは良かったです。スケジュールはそれほどハードではないので日帰りツアーとしてはとても良いと思います。
I used this service alone. It was January, a cold season, and a weekday, but there were still tourists from the mainland and China. The beautiful view of the sea is thanks to the coral, and I was able to see the bright blue coral as shown in the photos. It's enjoyable to see the white coral remains covering the beach, but seeing live coral is also a delight. There are many unique fish that can be easily spotted in Ishigaki Island, which adds to the fun. The captain (there is only one crew member) takes you to points where you can see the coral based on the day's conditions, which is reassuring. I recommend this for those interested in the blue sea.
一人で利用しました。1月で寒い時期・かつ平日でしたが、それでも本土や中国からの観光客が利用していました。海がきれいに見えるのはやはりサンゴのおかげで、写真の様な真っ青なサンゴを見ることができました。海岸を埋め尽くす白いサンゴの死骸(?)を見るのも楽しいのですが、生きてるサンゴを見るのもまた楽しいですね。石垣島ならではのお魚がたくさん、かつ簡単に見えるのも楽しいです。船長さん(乗組員は1人ですが)がその日の状況に応じてサンゴの見えるポイントに連れて行ってくれるのも頼もしいです。青い海、に興味を持った方にお勧めです。
I participated with quite a bit of anxiety due to my poor sense of balance and athletic ability, but the staff provided clear explanations and ample practice, which alleviated my concerns. It was a rather cold day, but we were served warm tea along the way, making for an enjoyable time. I was able to ride for a long time, which left me feeling very satisfied.
バランス感覚と運動神経が悪くかなり不安を持ちながら参加しましたが、スタッフの方わかりやすい説明と、十分な練習をしていただき不安が払拭され
ました。かなり寒い日でしたが途中温かいお茶もいただき楽しい時間でした。
かなり長い時間乗ることできるので満足感が高いです。
Dear Pine Lover,
Hello! Thank you for participating in the Segway tour with Hirata Tourism.
We have several other Segway instructors, each with their own unique personality, so we hope you will join us again next time.
We look forward to welcoming you back to the island in the warm season!
パイン大好き様

この度はセグウェイツアーにご参加いただき、
誠にありがとうございます。
安心してお楽しみ頂けたご様子に大変、嬉しく思います。
またのご利用をスタッフ一同
心よりお待ちしております!
It was a very warm January visit to Ishigaki Island. However, since I participated with small children, the schedule was quite tight, and I found myself constantly feeling rushed.
とてもあったかい1月の石垣島観光となりました。
ただ、小さい子供を連れての参加だったので、タイムスケジュールはかなりタイトで常に焦りながらの行動となってしまいました。
A shuttle bus came to the hotel to pick us up, and we gathered at the port to receive explanations for each course. When we mentioned the course number during boarding and disembarking, the staff members present promptly guided us, saying things like "that way" and "this way," allowing us to feel secure on the tour even in an unfamiliar place.
I had the impression that rural cities were mostly populated by elderly people, but everywhere we went, young people provided guidance and explanations. We enjoyed the wonderful nature and felt the vibrant spirit of Ishigaki.
ホテルに送迎のバスが来て下さり、港に集まり、コース毎の説明を受けました。乗船や下船後の移動時にコース番号を言うと、そこここに居る係員の方は皆、それはあっち、これはこっちとテキパキと案内してくれ、見知らぬ土地でも安心してツアーに乗れました。
地方都市というと高齢者ばかりとのイメージがありましたが、どこでも若い人が案内、説明をして下さり、素晴らしい自然を堪能するとともに、元気な石垣を感じました。
On the last day, since my flight was at 8 PM, I made a light reservation here after checking out. I went cycling with the cattle, but one hour of cycling was enough, so I think I might not need it next time. I also rode a water buffalo on Yubu Island, but Taketomi had a different atmosphere, and I was glad to experience both. It was a beautiful island just like in the pictures, and time flew by. I want to come back again.
最終日、飛行機の便が夜8時だったので、チェックアウト後に軽くこちらに申込みました。牛とサイクリングでしたが、サイクリングは1時間で十分だったので次はいらないかなーと思いました。水牛は由布島でも乗りましたが、竹富はまた雰囲気が違ってどちらも乗って良かったです。写真どおり綺麗な島で、あっという間に時間がすぎました。また来たいです。
Iriomote Island, Taketomi Island, and Yufu Island all had great weather and it was the best! They mentioned that it's quite rare to have such sunny weather throughout the year on Yufu Island. The staff on the boat were very kind and helped with the wheelchair boarding, which was really appreciated.
On Yufu Island, although I rode the water buffalo, I realized I had left my child's baby food on the bus (^ - ^;). The young lady at the dining hall kindly listened to my situation and contacted the person in charge of the water buffalo without any unpleasant expressions, which was truly helpful. Thank you very much.
The tour guides were all very polite, and the islands were so wonderful that I felt like I wanted to stay there forever. I hope to take this tour again someday and explore the islands at a more leisurely pace.
西表島も、竹富島も、由布島も、天気が良くて最高でした!由布島では、年間通してこんなに晴れているのはかなり珍しい!と言ってました。船への車椅子の乗車も、乗務員さんが丁寧に手伝いしてくれて、ほんとに、助かりました。
由布島では、水牛に乗り渡ったものの、バスに子供の離乳食を置いてきてしまったことが判明(^-^;食堂のお姉さんから、水牛の担当の方への連絡等、一切嫌な顔なさらずに事情を聞いてくれ、対応してくれて本当に助かりました。ありがとうございました。
観光の案内は皆さんとても丁寧で、このまま島に居残りたいくらい、素敵な島々でした。
またいつか、このツアーで、今度はもう少しゆっくりじっくり島々を巡りたいです。
The hotel was supposed to provide a shuttle bus, but when the designated time came on the day of, it did not arrive. After calling, I was instructed to take a taxi to the port and that they would cover the cost. If I hadn't contacted them, I probably would have been forgotten, and my chance to enjoy the sightseeing in Taketomi Island would have been wasted.
The sightseeing tour in Taketomi Island was well-coordinated and very fulfilling; I had a great time. However, it seems that the management is lacking, so I recommend that when using this service, you should not take their word for it and instead call the company the day before to confirm.
ホテルに送迎バスが来ることになっていたのですが、当日指定された時間になっても到着しないため、電話連絡したところ、お金を払うからタクシーで港まで向かうように指示されました。もし連絡しなければ、たぶん忘れられてしまい、せっかくの竹富島観光はパーになってしまったと思います。
竹富島観光のツアーはそれぞれ連携がとれていてとても充実して楽しかったです。管理がずさんだと思われますので、ここを利用する際は来るものと鵜呑みにせず、あらかじめ前日に会社に電話連絡しておくとよいと思います。
On the day of our visit, I was worried because rain was in the forecast, but the prediction turned out to be wrong, and we had beautiful clear skies! We rode on a water buffalo cart in such lovely weather. The water buffalo that was in charge of us was very laid-back and took many breaks, but because of that, we were able to enjoy the surrounding scenery at a leisurely pace. (laughs) I was surprised to find that the water buffalo cart could hold more people than I had imagined! The water buffalo worked really hard. Along the way, a staff member played the sanshin and sang Okinawan folk songs, which was wonderful to listen to while enjoying the scenery of Taketomi Island. We were able to spend a very relaxing and soothing time!
当日、雨予報だったので心配していたのですが、予報は外れ見事な快晴!!
とっても良いお天気の中、水牛車に乗りました。わたしたちを担当してくれた水牛さんは、凄くマイペースで休憩タイムが多かったですが、その分ゆっくり周りの景色を楽しむことができました。笑
水牛車の定員が想像してたより多くてびっくり!
水牛さん、大変頑張ってました。
途中でスタッフの方が、三線を弾きながら沖縄民謡を歌ってくださったのですが、竹富島の風景を堪能しながら聴く民謡にすごく良かったです。
まーったりゆーったりとても癒しのひときを過ごすことができました!
I thought the early bus pickup might be a bit tough, but I ended up enjoying myself a lot. The procedures at the terminal were quick, and we boarded a ship that was more impressive and comfortable than I expected. The arrangements for the transfer were efficient, with hardly any time wasted. It was a shame we couldn't go further into Iriomote Island due to low tide, but I had fun discovering rare birds. The lunch on Yubu Island, though small, was filled with homemade local dishes that made me feel the essence of Okinawa. Taketomi Island truly looked like something out of a poster, and time seemed to flow slowly there. The return trip was also by bus, and the transfer procedures were quick, which was great. Overall, I really felt I got my money's worth with this experience. I highly recommend it. Dorikan-kun was super cute.
バスの迎えが早くて少し辛いかなと思いましたが、そんな心配もよそにとても満喫できました。ターミナルでの手続きも早く終わり船に乗り込みましたが思っていたより立派な船で快適でした。移動の段取りは手早くて時間ロスはほとんどありませんでした。西表島では干潮で奥まで行けなかったのは残念でしたが珍しい鳥を発見したりして楽しかったです。由布島でのお弁当は、小さいながらも中には手作りの郷土料理がいっぱい入っていて沖縄を感じられました。竹富島はほんとにポスターで見るようで、時間がゆっくり流れていました。帰りもバスでしたが乗り継ぎの手続きも早くてとても良かった。全体的にこのお値段で本当に満喫できたと思います。おすすめです。ドリカン君がとってもキュート。
The tour itself was enjoyable without any issues. However, I think there is a problem with the bus transfers. Since there are no assigned seats, those who return to the bus early get to choose their seats, and those who arrive late end up separated from their families on different buses. It seemed difficult for those with small children. There are two bus transfers.
ツアー自体は問題無く楽しめました。
しかし途中のバス移動に問題があると思います。
座席が指定されていないので早くバスに戻った人から座るようで、遅れて来た方は、家族で離れて別のバスになっていました。小さいお子様連れの方は、大変そうでした。バス移動は2回あります。
I was skeptical about visiting three islands in one day, but the schedule for each island was just right, and I was able to have a meaningful day.
1日で3島をまわるのはどうなのかと疑問を感じていましたが、各島でのスケジュール感もほどよく、有意義な一日を過ごすことができました。
You can relax and spend time on Yufu Island. The mangrove cruise was also easy to understand thanks to the friendly guide. Considering transportation and efficiency, I think an optional tour is a good choice for island sightseeing.
由布島でゆっくり過ごせます。マングローブクルーズもガイドさんが親切でわかりやすかったです。交通の便や効率性を考えると離島観光はOPツアーが良いと思います。
Participating alone
Since I rarely acted in a group, it was quite relaxed for me.
It might be good for beginners to easily experience various things.
一人で参加
特に団体で行動する事が少なかったので
自分的には気楽であった
初心者には簡単に色々と経験出来ていいかも
