It's very cold, but it's worth a visit. とってもさむいですが、一見の価値ありです

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The tour to the summit of Mauna Kea was a battle against the cold, sleepiness, and feeling unwell. However, the views above the clouds, the sunset over the clouds, and the Subaru Telescope, which Japan takes pride in, are all worth seeing. My son, who is 12 years old, participated, but it seems that children have weaker vestibular systems, and he struggled quite a bit at the summit. I hope he can join again when he's a bit older. The starry sky was incredibly beautiful, and every time I go to the Big Island, I'm reminded of how much light there is in the sky back in Japan.

マウナケアの山頂へのツアーは寒さと、眠さと、具合の悪さとの闘いでした。しかし、途中の雲の上の景色とか、雲への夕日の景色、更には日本の誇るすばる天文台等々、一見の価値はあります。息子が12歳で参加したのですが、やはり子供は三半規管が弱いらしく、頂上ではかなり苦しそうでした。もう少し大きくなって、また参加したいと思います。
星空もすごくきれいで、ハワイ島にいく度に、日本の空の明かりの多さを思い知らされます。

I'm glad I chose this tour. このツアーにして良かったです

Reviewed by: マウナケアに行ってきました

I was able to see a very beautiful sunset at the summit of Mauna Kea. The sunset sinking above the clouds was a stunning view that is rarely seen.
The stars depend on the weather and the moon. This time, the moon was a half moon, and there were thin clouds, so we couldn't see a sky full of stars, but the guide's stories made me feel as if I had seen a sky full of stars. The explanation about the stars was very interesting.
I was grateful for the warm jacket they lent me. Compared to other tours, this tour's winter clothing looked the warmest. I highly recommend it.

　マウナケア山頂でとても綺麗な夕日を見ることが出来ました．雲の上に沈む夕日はめったに見られない美しい景色でした．
　星はお天気しだい、月しだい．今回は月が半月の上,薄い雲がかかっており満天とはいきませんでしたが．ガイドさんの話で満天の星を見たような気になりました．星の解説大変面白かったです．
　大変あたたかい上着を貸してくれたのには助かりました．他のツアーと比べこのツアーの防寒着が一番あたたかそうにみえました．お勧めです．

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

Trip

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Overall, this trip was fantastic, and you'll never see another sunset and night sky like it anywhere else. However, be wary of poor food (bring a sandwich) that is offered, and make sure your bus has air conditioning that works since it can be a long ride up the side of the mountain in 90+ heat.

Pros:
Great trip
Romantic
Educational

Cons:
No air conditioning in the van
Poor food

It was a wonderful starry sky! 素敵な星空でした！

Reviewed by: Ｙ．Ｋ．

I apologize for the late posting, but I participated on August 30.

On that day, it was a new moon and the wind was calm, allowing us to fully enjoy the sunset and the starry sky.

Seeing the constellations from a location closer to the stars than other tours felt like we were monopolizing the entire night sky. The explanation of the constellations using a green laser was easy to understand, and the humorous guidance from Minoyan and Shinya was fantastic.

The miso soup we had during the journey, at a high altitude when our bodies started to cool down, was a truly warming dish.

I definitely recommend this tour for anyone looking for a stargazing experience.

書き込みが遅くなりましたが、８月３０日に参加しました。

当日は新月かつ風も弱く、夕日から星空までを満喫することができました。

他のツアーよりも星に近い場所で見る星座は、まるで星空全部を自分たちで独占しているよう。
グリーンレーザーを使った星座の説明も分かり易く、みのやん＆しんやさんのユーモラスな（？）ガイドも最高でした。

道中高所となり体が冷えるタイミングでいただく味噌汁も、心から温まる一品です。

星空のツアーをお探しの方には間違いなくお勧めのツアーです。

A breathtaking view that can't be experienced in Japan. 日本では味わえない絶景

Reviewed by: ウッチー

The sunset sinking into the sea of clouds. Above the sea of clouds, the peaks of Haleakalā on Maui and Mauna Loa on the Big Island rise, with various observatories lined up before me. I was breathless at the breathtaking view that cannot be seen in Japan. I was once again impressed that you can drive to such heights; the gentle ridgeline of Mauna Kea is remarkable. After sunset, I saw a sky full of stars from an altitude of 3,600 meters. It was a new moon, and it felt like the stars were about to fall. I thoroughly enjoyed the summer constellations. The temperature was 2 degrees, and the wind chill was probably below freezing, which completely changed my image of Hawaii. Thanks to the skillful storytelling of our tour guide Shinya, I was never bored in the car, didn't fall asleep and suffer from altitude sickness, and it became a memorable tour.

雲海に沈む夕陽。雲海の上には、マウイ島のハレアカラ、ハワイ島のフアラライ山の頂が浮かび、目前には各国の天文台が並び立つ。日本では見ることのできない絶景に息を呑みました。こんな高さまで車でいけるとは、マウナケア山の緩やかな稜線に改めて感心しました。日没後は、3600メートルの高さから満天の星を見ました。ちょうど新月でまさに星が落ちてきそうなほどでした。夏の星座を満喫しました。気温は２度、体感温度はたぶん氷点下ということで、ハワイのイメージ一新でした。ツアーガイドのシンヤさんの巧みな話術で、車中も飽きることなく、眠って高山病にかかることなく、思い出に残るツアーとなりました。

The cold weather gear is excellent. 防寒具が最高です

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

This was my second time going on a tour of Mauna Kea. Last time, I participated in a tour with a different company, but this time I chose Masashi's tour. Thank you very much.
What I thought was the best part of Masashi's tour was the cold weather gear.
I tend to get very cold, so even though I wanted to watch the sunset outside for a long time, I ended up going back to the car relatively quickly last time because of the cold. However, the cold weather gear from Masashi's company was a full-body suit (though it seems there are limited quantities), and it was really warm! I also borrowed gloves. Thanks to that, I was able to stand outside for a long time.

Stargazing is really cold. My toes got very cold. Even with this cold weather gear, my feet and neck were exposed, so I recommend bringing thick socks and a scarf for those who are sensitive to the cold.

The ride to and from the site was not cramped; there was plenty of space, and it was comfortable.

The meal included Japanese food and miso soup without any ingredients. They also provided water later on. The miso soup cooled down quickly, possibly because of the cold, but having a warm drink was very nice. I was also happy that I could help myself to cocoa and tea after the meal.
Since dinner was early, I got a bit hungry when I got home, so it's a good idea to prepare a late-night snack in advance.

私は、マウナケアのツアーに行くのは２回目でした。前回は違う会社さんのツアーに参加させていただきましたが、今回はマサシさんのツアーにお願いしました。ありがとうございました。
マサシさんのツアーで、一番良かったと思ったのが、防寒具でした。
私はとての寒がりなので、サンセットをずっと外で見ていたいのに、寒さに負けて、前回のとき、わりとすぐに車の中に入ってしまったんですよね。でも、マサシさんのところの防寒具は全身のつなぎになっていて（つなぎは数に限りがあるようですが）、ほんとに暖かったです！手袋も貸していだきました。おかげでずっと外に立っていられました。

星の観察はほんとに寒いです。足先がとても冷たくなりました。この防寒具でも足と首は出てしまいますので、寒がりの方には厚手の靴下とマフラーを持参することをおすすめします。

行き帰りの車の中もギュウギュウではなく、ゆとりがあって乗り心地がよかったです。

お弁当は日本食と具なしのお味噌汁でした。水もあとからくれました。お味噌汁は寒さのせいか、すぐに冷めてしまいましたが、暖かい飲み物はとてもうれしいです。食後にココアや、お茶がセルフでいただけたのもうれしかったです。
早めの夕食なので、帰宅してから小腹が減るので、前もって夜食と部屋に用意しておくといいですよ。

Experience "Earth in outer space." 「宇宙空間にある地球」を実感してください。

Reviewed by: MARUKO

At 4,200 meters, the air is clear, and the sun, sinking into the sea of clouds as a fireball, paints the sky in hues of yellow, red, and purple, leaving one speechless at its beauty.

Soon after the sunset, an astronomical show begins with countless stars. While you can see an unimaginable number of stars in the mountains of Japan, at the summit of Mauna Kea, you can witness an overwhelming display of stars and shooting stars. It feels as if you are bursting into outer space.

The temperature is quite cold (probably around 2-3°C), so be sure not to participate in shorts and a short-sleeved shirt. While you can borrow warm clothing, if you want to enjoy star watching comfortably, it's advisable to bring gloves as well. You will be outside for about three hours from sunset until the end of star watching. Some people stayed in their cars due to the cold, looking quite regretful.

The guide talk by the enthusiastic mountain guide from the nature school is entertaining. He seems to know everything about the Big Island, so asking him various questions can help expand your travel possibilities and plan your stay on the Big Island.

4200メートルの空気はどこまでも澄み渡り、火球となって雲海に沈みゆく太陽が空の色を黄色→赤色→紫色と染め上げていく芸術はその美しさに言葉を失います。
　サンセットが終わると間もなく無数の星による天体ショーが始まります。日本国内でも山奥に行けば都会ではありえない数の星を見ることができますが、マウナケアの山頂直下ではそれをも圧倒的に超える星と流れ星が見られます。宇宙空間に飛び出した錯覚を覚えます。
　気温はかなり寒い（おそらく２~３℃）ので決して短パンと半そでシャツなんかで参加しないように。防寒具は貸してもらえますが、快適にスターウオッチングをたのしみたいのなら、手袋も持参しておいたほうがよいでしょう。サンセットからスターウオッチング終了までだいたい３時間は外にいることになります。寒さのあまり車内にいる人も数人いましたが、相当無念そうにしていました。
　ネイチャスクールのガハイテンションの山ちゃんのガイドトークは面白いです。ハワイ島のことなら表も裏も何でも知っていそうなの、いろいろ聞いてハワイ島滞在プランの参考にしてみると旅の可能性が広がります。

White night sky 白い夜空

Reviewed by: ウォルナッツ

This trip to Hawaii was a honeymoon, and it was an experience that far exceeded my expectations, leaving me very satisfied.

First of all, our guide, Mr. Yamamoto, was incredibly entertaining, and we had a great time chatting and making detours along the way. As we approached the summit, the temperature gradually dropped, and we enjoyed a bento dinner at the Onizuka Center, where miso soup was also provided, warming both our hearts and bodies.

The view of the sunset from the summit changed moment by moment, and it was truly beautiful. Furthermore, during the stargazing, I was amazed by the countless stars shining brightly! The night sky felt almost white with the starlight. It was such a dreamlike scene that I really regretted not being able to capture it in photos. Additionally, Mr. Yamamoto provided clear explanations of the constellations, which was very educational.

Depending on the season, I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the Big Island.

今回のハワイ旅行はハネムーンだったのですが、予想を遥かに超える体験ができ大満足でした。

まず、ガイドの山本さんがとっても楽しませてくれて、道中もいろいろ話したり寄り道をしたりと大盛りあがりでした。
山頂までは徐々に寒さを増し、途中のオニヅカセンターで夕食にお弁当をいただくのですが、お味噌汁も用意され心も体も暖まりました。

山頂からのサンセットの眺めは刻々と姿が変わり、本当にキレイの連発でした。さらに、星空観測では無数の星の輝きに驚かされるばかり！！まさに星明りで夜空が白く感じられるんです。夢のような光景で写真に残せないのが本当に残念です。また、ガイドの山本さんが分かりやすく星座の説明をしてくれるので勉強にもなりました。
時期にもよるかと思いますが、ハワイ島に行かれる方にはとってもオススメです。

Reviewed by: みのっちファン夫婦

I participated on June 21.
It was absolutely amazing! To be specific about what was great:
1. The journey
As we made our way to the summit, we picked up guests while touring around the hotel, and the scenery along with the guide's commentary kept us engaged. We stopped at beautiful spots along the way to take photos.
2. Japanese cuisine
You might wonder why we had Japanese food for dinner while abroad, but once you taste it on-site, you'll understand. The miso soup enjoyed in that magnificent scenery and cold weather is exceptional!
3. The scenery
It can't be conveyed through photos. It's simply incredible. I was left speechless beyond that word. It's something I want my loved ones to see.
4. The starry sky
Even as someone who is used to seeing stars living in the countryside, I was moved by its beauty. I could see satellites and the Milky Way. I also spotted several shooting stars. They showed us Saturn's rings and Jupiter's stripes through a telescope. The guide's extensive knowledge and enjoyable explanations enhanced the experience.
5. Warm clothing
I believe it was warmer than the cold-weather gear from other companies that were also at the summit.
6. The guide
Their knowledge, personality, and reliability were all top-notch. I will definitely return!

６月２１日に参加しました。
とにかく最高です！何が最高なのか具体的に書くと
１.道中
　　ホテルを回りお客さんを拾いながら山頂へ向かって行きますが、景色とガイドのトークが飽きさせません。山頂までの途中、景色の良いところで下車し写真撮影もさせてくれます。
２.和食
　　なぜ海外なのに夕食に和食が出るのかと思いますが、現場で食べて見ればわかります。あの雄大な景色と寒さの中ですする味噌汁は格別です！
３．景色
　　写真では伝わりません。凄いの一言です。この言葉以外言葉を失いました。大切な人に見て欲しいものがそこにあります。
４．星空
　　田舎住まいで星に見慣れている私ですら感動する綺麗さです。人口衛星も天の川も見れました。流れ星もいくつも見れました。望遠鏡で土星の輪や木星の縞模様も見せてくれました。ガイドの知識の豊富さと楽しい解説が魅力を引き立ててくれます。
５.防寒着
　　同じく山頂にいた他社の防寒着より暖かいものだと思います。
６.ガイド
　　知識、人柄、頼りがい、どれをとっても最高でした。またリピートします！

This is the most amazing / moving / breathtaking / spectacular tour I've ever taken in my life... Growing up in a city, I've never seen a night sky like that before... i thought i was seeing a cloud, but turned out to be the Milky Way... there were literally millions of stars in the sky... made me feel that we are a part of this vast galaxy...

the drive to Mauna Kea was fun... Pat, the guide, even stopped our vehicle to see the owl by the road... I even got to see the state bird, Nene, at the Onizuka Space Center...

Mauna Kea is such a spritual place, and I will never forget the sunset.. Oh, you have to take a tour to go up to the summit since you need a permit... it's not like Haleakala on Maui where everyone can go..

Do this tour if you are going to be in the Big Island... I recommend everyone to do this tour... Just amazing!!!

I participated with a friend on May 1, 2008!!

I had only been to the Big Island once as a child, so I was a bit anxious, but it turned out to be a wonderful experience.

My friend had just arrived from Japan and was tired, but thanks to our guide's lively talk, we had an enriching time right from the first day.

The sunset at Mauna Kea was truly spectacular. After taking a break for lunch, we positioned ourselves above the clouds. At that moment, I was so moved that my eyes became teary. At the summit, the beauty of the sunset left me speechless. How can I describe it... it felt like being close to God...

While other tours left one after another, our tour stayed a while longer, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful gradient of the sky after the sun had set. Even though it was May, there was still snow on the mountainside, and it was cold, but thanks to the incredibly warm overalls I borrowed, no one returned to the car for warmth, and we could fully enjoy the wonders of nature. I felt a bit sad to leave after spending so much time there.

As for the starry sky, our guide mentioned that the conditions weren't great due to clouds, but he tried to read the wind flow and move us to a better spot. For someone like me, who only knows the sky over Nagoya, it was a breathtaking sight filled with stars that made me unable to hold back my tears.

I became completely absorbed in the guide's explanations of the stars, even though I had no knowledge of constellations. As I followed the stars he pointed out with my eyes, it was truly magical!! My favorite was Canis Major. It was adorable.

This tour would be romantic for couples, fun and educational for families with children, and enjoyable for friends like us.

Above all, our guide Shinya's stories, enthusiasm, and tone of voice were fantastic. He was easy to understand and entertaining, while also being very professional. I would love to use this tour again with another friend next time.

I was really happy that he kindly answered questions about the Big Island beyond the tour. Thank you, Shinya!! Take care until we meet again~＾−＾☆

２００８年５月1日に女２人で参加しました！！

ハワイ島は子供も頃に１度つれられてきただけで初めてのようなもので不安でしたが素晴らしい体験が出来ました。

友達は日本からきたばかりで疲れていたにもかかわらず、ガイドさんの軽快なトークにのせられて初日から濃い時間を過ごせました

マウナケアの夕日は本当に素晴らしかったです。
途中、お弁当休憩をとった後くらいから雲の上に位置していきます。
この時点で私は感動のあまり目頭があつくなりました。
山頂でのサンセットではあまりの美しさに言葉がでませんでした。
なんとたとえたらいいでしょうか・・
神様の近くにいるような感じ・・・・かな。

ほかのツアーが次々と引き上げていく中、私たちのツアーだけがしばし留まり、日が落ちた後の素晴らしい空のグラデーションを堪能しました。
５月だというのに山肌には雪が残っており寒かったのですが、ものすごく暖かいつなぎのような服をお借りしたおかげでだれひとり車に暖をとりに戻る人もおらず、自然の神秘をこころゆくまで堪能することができました。
ずいぶんとそこにいたのに、立ち去るのがさみしいくらいでした。

星空は、ガイドさんの話では雲があるためコンディションはあまりよくないとのことでしたが、風の流れを読み移動を試みてくださって、普段名古屋の空しか知らないわたしにとっては流れる涙をとめることが出来ないほどの満天の星でした。

そしてガイドさんの星の説明に、まったく星座の知識のない私でも夢中になっていきました。
ガイドさんの指す星を目で追っていくとあら不思議！！
ほんとうにその形が浮かび上がってきます。
わたしのお気に入りは大犬座。かわいかったです。

このツアーはカップルで参加してもロマンティックだしお子様連れなら楽しくお勉強もできるかんじだし、私たちのような女同士でも満喫できるものだと思います。

なによりガイドのシンヤさんのお話やガッツや声のトーンなどが最高でした。

It was colder than I expected, but the starry sky was more amazing than I thought. I'm glad I participated.

思った以上に寒かったけど、思った以上に星空は凄かった。参加してよかったです。

I want to talk about the stars with others. 星を他人に語りたくなる

I participated on April 16th. I considered other companies for the Mauna Kea summit tour, but I think choosing Nature School was the right decision.

Positive points: The guide, Mr. Yamamoto, was friendly and very knowledgeable. His explanations were very easy to understand.

The driving was safe, allowing us to feel secure throughout the ride.

They took us to more locations than any other tour, and we had plenty of opportunities for commemorative photos. (They took us all around Mauna Kea.)

They were the last to descend from Mauna Kea compared to other tours. (It seems there’s a rule from the observatory that we must descend within 30 minutes after sunset, but they stayed with us until the very end. It’s cold, and watching the sunset outside can be tough, but we could relax and enjoy it from inside the vehicle.)

The warm clothing provided seemed to be the best among other tours. (They had jackets and two types of full-body suits for women. The jackets were long enough to keep our feet warm.)

Stargazing was possible at the highest elevation compared to other tours. (Other tour companies had already descended, so there were no distracting car lights. We could see from a paved area, minimizing dust. Depending on the day, they might need to go lower due to wind conditions.)

I strongly recommend checking the moon phase before going. If the moon phase doesn’t align, it might be worth adjusting your travel dates for this tour in Hawaii. If you plan to take this tour, it’s quickest to ask on the Nature School website which day would be best for your visit to the Big Island.

It was amazing!!!!

４月１６日に参加いたしました。マウナケア山頂のツアーは他社もあり、検討しましたがネイチャースクールで大正解だったと思います。

良かった点・ガイドの「山本さん」が気さくで非常に物知り。説明も非常にわかりやすい。

安全運転で終始安心して乗ってられる。

どこのツアーよりも多くの場所を廻ってくれて度々、記念撮影が出来る。（マウナケア山では隅から隅まで廻ってくれました）

どこのツアーよりも一番最後にマウナケア山を下りてくれる。（日が沈んでから３０分以内に山頂は下りないといけないというルールが天文台からきているようですが、ギリギリまでいてくれます。寒くて、サンセットをずっと外で見るのは厳しいですが車内でのんびり見れます）

防寒具が他のツアーよりも一番暖かそう。（ジャケット、女全身ツナギ２種類ありました。ジャケットも裾が長く足元まで暖か）

天体観測がどこのツアーよりも一番標高が高いところで出来る。（他のツアー会社が既に下りているので、邪魔な車の光は一切無しです。舗装されているところで見れるので砂埃なども少ない。日によっては風などの影響で下に下りる事もあるようです。）

月齢を調べて行くことを強くお勧めいたします。月齢が合わないのならば、このツアーの為にハワイの旅行日をずらしてもいい位です。
もしこのツアーで行くのならば、ネイチャースクールのホームページで質問を受け付けていたので、自分のハワイ島へ行く日でどの日が一番いいですか？と質問するのが一番手っ取り早いです。

最高でした！！！！

Even now, two weeks later, it is burned into my heart and won't leave! 2週間後の今でも心に焼き付いて離れません！

Today, my favorite Orion constellation rose in the sky over Kawanishi. Every time I see Orion, I remember the Orion from Mauna Kea. That Orion, buried among the stars, was so unique! I had never seen such an Orion before! The moment I tilted my head back to gaze at the night sky, the voices of everyone's excitement echoed around us! It was truly a sight of gold, silver, and sand! Numerous satellites passed through the night sky. The Sirius we observed through the telescope sparkled brilliantly and was incredibly beautiful! The rings of Saturn were astonishingly vertical, which was a surprise! My 76-year-old mother still lights up with joy when she recalls that memory. Everyone who joined us was also very moved, and as the organizer, I feel a bit proud. After all, we were at 4,205 meters. When we arrived at the hotel, our water bottles were crumpled. I recommend the stargazing at Mauna Kea to anyone planning a trip to Hawaii, as well as those who aren't. The ocean in Hawaii is certainly wonderful, but Mauna Kea offered an even greater sense of awe and inspiration. The charming talk from the handsome guide was also very appealing. It's been two weeks since I returned from this trip, where I thought I might be done with Hawaii, and I'm already longing for that starry sky and sunset again.

今日も川西の空に大好きなオリオン座が上ってきました。そのオリオンを見るたびに、マウナケアのオリオンを思い出します。　一目でそれとは分からないくらい、星々に埋もれたあの！オリオンを！！あんなオリオン見たことない！　あの時、首を後ろに倒して夜空を見上げた途端、みんなの感激の声が響き渡りましたね！　まさに金・銀・砂子の☆☆☆！人工衛星がいくつも夜空を通り過ぎて行きました。望遠鏡で見せていただいた、シリウス。燦然とまばゆいばかりに煌いて美しいことこの上もなし！！土星の輪はナント、縦についていて、ビックリ！　76歳の母も一番の思い出と今でも目をきらきらさせて喜んでいます。ご一緒した皆さんもとても感激されて、企画した私はちょっと自慢です。なんたって4205ｍ。ホテルに着いたらペットボトルがへしゃげてました。ハワイ旅行を計画してる人はもちろん、していない人にもマウナケアの星空観測を勧めています。ハワイの海はもちろんとても素敵だけど、それ以上の感激と感動をマウナケアはプレゼントしてくれました。ハンサムな山ちゃんのトークもとても魅力的でした。ハワイももういいかなぁと思って行った今回の旅行から帰ってきて2週間。あの星空と夕陽がまた恋しくなってきました。

Mauna Kea Summit Adventure

Reviewed by: Angela and Dan

We booked this trip because Dan is very interested in astronomy. As we drove up to the summit we began to understand the magnificence of the view. The sunset was unbelievable and the experience unforgettable. When we came down the mountain to do our stargazing I saw the moon through the telescope as I have never seen it before. The detail of the craters was amazing. It was a beautiful evening and night. Thank you.

Mr. Monshiri is the best! 物知り山ちゃん最高っ！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We were taken care of during our honeymoon trip.

Regarding the Big Island and the stars, our guide "Yamachan" was very knowledgeable, and I learned a lot while having a great time. It's no wonder they named it "Nature School."

Since I participated in late March, I would like to join again to see the summer night sky.

The summit of Mauna Kea is very cold, but the cold weather gear provided on this tour is the best in terms of warmth compared to other tours, and it was really great. I wonder if this is the only place that lends out coveralls?

新婚旅行でお世話になりました。

ハワイ島についても、星についてもガイドの「山ちゃん」は大変物知りで、非常に楽しみながら勉強させてもらいました。さすがは「ネイチャースクール」の名前を付けているだけあります。

3月下旬に参加したので、今度は夏の星空を見にまた参加したいと思います。

マウナケア山頂はとっても寒いですが、ここのツアーの防寒具は周りのツアーと比較しても1番防寒性に優れており、とってもよかったです。つなぎを貸してくれるのはここだけなのかな？？

I want to see it again!! もう一度見たい！！

Reviewed by: mumu

This was my second time participating in this tour after seven years. Last time I saw the summer constellations, and this time I was able to see the winter constellations. The stars I viewed through the telescope were very beautiful, and since the stars and scenery are different each time, I think I could repeat it many times without getting bored. The guide, Yamachan, was also interesting, and I have been recommending this tour to my friends and family. I definitely want to participate again!

今回このツアーに参加するのは７年ぶりの２回目でした。
前回は夏の星座、今回は冬の星座が見れました。
望遠鏡を通して見た星もとてもきれいで、毎回見れる星や景色も違うので、何度リピートしても飽きないと思います。
ガイドの山ちゃんの話もおもしろく、友人や家族にもこのツアーを勧めています。
是非また参加したいです！！

I love this trip!

Reviewed by: SFBayArea

This was a wonderful, amazing tour! The sunset view from the summit of Mauna Kea is incomparable. I felt like I was standing on top of the world. The stargazing was also wonderful. I never saw the stars so clearly before. My tour guide was Buck, who gave us a great astronomy beginner's lesson. He also was very professional, and knowledgeable about other aspects such as the culture, history, and environmental ecology of the island. I highly recommend this trip to everyone. Bring gloves and a knitted cap--you will use them. The tour company will provide parkas. Cookies and hot chocolate before stargazing was a nice touch!
