We had a wonderful tour with Saito-San. I was able to choose 3 places to see which included Kabira Bay, Ishigaki Yaima Village and Ishigaki Stalactite Caves. Each place was so beautiful and Saito San was so informative and kept everything at a nice relaxing place. Saito San also speaks perfect english! This was a perfect tour to see Ishigaki. I am so glad I booked this tour and highly recommend touring with Saito San! Doomo arigato!

Great start to our short trip - as we couldn’t check in the hotel til 4pm - Saito came to pick us up at airport and we started our 4 hour excursion - basically you can pick your destination points from a list he gives. We discussed in whatsapp prior to arrival. Its a great intro to the beautiful island and Saito very knowledgable. Recommend!

It was an amazing half a day. There’s there plenty to see on the island. The guide Saito was fantastic. The car was clean. We parked conveniently at each location. The cave, and the design dragons park were the best. The boat with the glass floor was amazing, and by far had the best underwater views we got after visiting half a dozen of Japanese tropical islands. The guide picked us up from the cruise terminal and dropped off in front of the airport terminal at the end of the tour. We had an excessive luggage with which we got great help. We warmly recommend this tour to anyone who visit ishigaki. Thanks a lot Saito!

Taran and Makoto are just amazing people! They designed a personal tailored day trip completely fitting my interests on Ishigaki! Additionally they took good care of the culinary aspects with great food! Besides they told me a lot of the life on the island so you can get valuable insights. Not to mention Tarans outstanding talent as a photographer. Like this they create lasting memories!

The guide was very careful, each place was explained in detail, and also explained the local culture, because I alone, asked a lot of questions, he also answered one by one, and helped me search the restaurant to introduce food!

Saito, our guide was great! He went above and beyond, picking great spots to see, taking pictures with his camera, communicating well with Whatsapp beforehand and easy to understand during. He was willing to stop by a little store for us because it's difficult to get food near our hotel because we didn't tent a car, and let me use my credit card to get cash from him because the ATM was closed. Very friendly, kind, and accommodating!

Saito our guide was punctual and drove us around several island highlights, allowing us time to stop and look around in a leisurely way. He also provided drinks bottles for us on arrival which was a nice addition. Saito spoke very good english which was helpful as our japanese is limited. Time allowed for photo taking, eating and toilet stops if needed. We would recommend this trip with Saito as a guide.

Saito-san was a wonderful tour guide! He picked my boyfriend and I up from the airport and had bottled tea waiting for us, which was much needed after our flight. We stopped for fresh fruit juice and tried sugar cane for the first time (both were delicious). Saito-san also took us to the best sightseeing spots in Ishigaki and explained various parts of the culture, vegetation, animals, history, etc. of the island. We were also able to see a traditional Ishigaki dance and squirrel monkeys. We weren't able to go on the glass bottom boat because of the weather, but he took us to an additional sightseeing spot to make up for it. We highly recommend booking a private, personalized tour with Saito-san if you're visiting Ishigaki!
