Takumi's guide took part. We could have encountered frogs and snakes. It was a lot of fun to get excited that there might be something there.
I'm glad I took the night tour.

I went on a night tour. Takumi-san. Thank you for responding to my child's (too many to make parents want to be tick) questions without nasty responses. The kids were very interested in learning about many creatures and plants, and it was a fun tour for parents. Unfortunately, it was bad weather and I was disappointed not to see the beautiful stars of Miyakojima, but I enjoyed meeting creatures that I could only meet on a night tour. Thank you very much.
Highly recommend!!

Thank you very much for explaining it in Japanese first. If you asked me not only about the tour but also what I was curious about, I was always kind to let you know, but I was so satisfied that the next day I applied for another tour too!! Totally recommended!!
It was an exciting expedition.

Kazu has been very helpful to me. I can't thank you enough for going into the grass and looking around. And the son of a viper said he had fun. I learned a lot from the explanation. Thank you very much.

The whole event was amazing. In particular, our guide, Mr. Kajita, was very professional. He guided me very hard in the morning canoeing experience and introduced me very carefully to the natural ecology of Miyakojima in the evening activities (it is really rich in nature). In addition, they explained it in several languages so that foreign participants could understand it very well. At the end of the day, I really appreciate you taking a night view photo of me! This tour is highly recommended.
It was such a wonderful experience.

It was a very peculiar experience. I was able to observe various wildlife, and thank you for taking pictures of the bright moon. In his fluent English, "Fuka" was able to hear many explanations on the tour. If you come to Miyako Jima next time, I'd like to experience it again. "Fuka"
Thank you for the naughty guide Kyompie🤗

We started the tour guided by a nature guide, Kyung-pee (active healthy beau). It was pitch black, but the lights 🔦 were handed out and everyone walked through the jungle (subtropical forest). The road is well maintained so it is safe. Best of all, Kyompie's explanation was the glue of the captain of Disneyland's jungle cruise, and everyone from children to adults enjoyed it. It's a rare place to go during the day, but at night we all started petting coconut crabs and looked for flora and fauna while listening to the guide explain. I enjoyed learning about the ecology of female spiders, snakes, butterflies 🦋 and of course, palm crabs. Thank you for having a great time, Kyompie 🤗

I was guided by Hiro of Kansai dialect! It was a good experience because all of them were new to us! Also, the moon was very beautiful with a full moon. Thank you very much.
