When it was raining, I was worried that I could go on tour, but fortunately I was able to go on tour without any problems! I went with an AKARI guide, and I did not get bored going to the starting point of the jungle tour, but I explained the area and the places to pass. As we started our jungle tour, we were able to see a wide variety of creatures, all of which seemed similar, but the guides told us what was different and what they had, making the tour more fun. The weather was bad and I couldn't see the stars, but the guide knew very well about the creatures and the tension was good and it wasn't bad at all!

Even if it was raining, the jungle experience was an exciting tour thanks to our guide! We were super lucky to see so many animals. Thank you Akari-san again!

We were able to have an experience that we couldn’t quite have ourselves: going into the jungle at night! The starry sky was very beautiful in the pitch black when I went out from the jungle to the beach. We were very happy to see the crabs but the guide told us about their recommended shops on the way to and from the airport.

Four family members participated. My daughters from 3rd and 6th grade were with me, and I enjoyed it from start to finish! On the way, the guide taught us a lot of trivia about nature and culture on Ishigaki Island, and the travel time was quick. They also provided me with information on some of the best restaurants to recommend, which was helpful during my trip. The children were very excited to explore the jungle at night, an experience that is not usually possible. It was a memorable family trip. This tour is recommended for those who are going to Ishigaki Island!

Murakami-san, the guide, was a friendly person and the explanation was easy to understand, so I really enjoyed the tour! My eyes look like a kiss-may-be Fujigaya! I'm so happy to see the starry sky, palm crabs, snakes and owls!

It was great to see the starry sky and creatures unique to Ishigaki Island. My four-year-old son was overjoyed. It was a very satisfying tour with some great photos!

I was worried because the weather wasn’t so good on the day, but the rain paid off, and I met a lot of coconut crabs that I didn’t expect to see! The whole family was excited to see the sky and even shooting stars. The guide's brother had fun and the children were completely captivated by him. It was one of my best memories from this trip. Thank you very much.

At first, I was worried that the weather would be bad and I wouldn't be able to see the stars, but the staff did their best to find the coconut crabs and enlivened it, which was great! It was very interesting. It was amazing to see the stars, thunder and moon together when the weather improved! Anyway, it was awesome! Thank you very much.
