Starry Sky and Jungle Night Tour - I was able to go to places I don't usually go and had a valuable experience! I'm excited because I use my flashlight to go through dark places. We went to the beach, forest, cave, etc. ^^ This time it was cloudy and we couldn't see the stars, but the guide was very knowledgeable about plants and organisms and it was interesting!

Encountered a giant palm crab - We couldn't see the starry sky because of the cloudy sky, but we had more fun than we thought! The guide's talk on the bus was very interesting, and I was able to learn about the best spots to see rice shops and hidden places! I had given up on finding the coconut crabs as well because I couldn't find them, but the staff found them at the end and I really enjoyed it!! The staff were very knowledgeable about the creatures and plants of Ishigaki Island, and I could not get enough of them during the tour! They say you can see a variety of creatures in summer, so I hope we can go there next!

I saw palm crabs. - This time it was me, my daughter and my grandson (6 years old) My grandson signed up for this tour because he wanted to see palm crabs. There was no guarantee that we would see them, but luckily we met a small and cute palm crab♪ My grandson is overjoyed. They told me all the names and characteristics of plants that I'd never seen before while walking. We didn't get to see the stars, but it was satisfying. On the way to the site and on the car back, I heard various things such as the introduction of delicious shops on Ishigaki Island Unfortunately, I wanted to hear it earlier because I'm leaving the next day! Too bad. I had a very satisfying experience. It was a good memory on Ishigaki Island

"Frightening..." was "fun!" 2 hours to turn into - Unfortunately, it was raining & it was pitch black, and the 5 and 3 year olds said they were scared…, but with the help of our guide every time we made our way through the jungle, we were in the midst of a bang! Luckily, I was able to see many creatures and plants unique to Ishigaki Island live, and I left my impression that it was a lot of fun! It was also our first experience together, and we want to come again!

Please experience it for yourself! - On the whole, it was very good! The staff member, Shinpe, was really entertaining. It's a dark place so you can't go there in private. You can also see palm crabs, which are hard to see, and a wonderful starry sky, depending on the weather. It will only end at around 21:30 with a 19:30 meeting, so it will be good enough to have a banquet afterwards as it will be dissolved at the port after it is over, so I think it is better to have an experience ♪

Stargazing and Jungle tour - I had the most amazing time with Ayaka! She was very knowledgeable on everything in the area. Although we didn’t see any coconut crabs. We did see a lot of other cool creatures! The stars looked amazing! I would recommend this to everyone, such an enjoyable time for everyone.

Explore the best starry skies and jungles - How far would you go by car at first? But when I got there, in the pitch black, I would walk into the jungle with a flashlight, and I couldn't stop feeling excited, which reminded me of my childhood feelings. As we all went through the jungle and caves looking for palm crabs, the sky was clear that day and there was a lovely starry sky, not so much a starry sky as a galaxy? Space. There was a world I had never seen before. I couldn't find any coconut crabs, but it was the best memory of interacting with various plants and insects. Thank you very much.

Jungle Experience - It was so bad, it was overcast, the temperature was quite cold and I honestly was wondering if I should cancel. When I went there, the guide talked cutely and it was good (*be▽｀*) I couldn't see any creatures, I couldn't see any starry sky. It was fun to experience the jungle. Next, I want to go in the summer Thank you, sir.
