I met a coconut crab! - My son really wanted to go on a night tour, so we went on it! The guide was very kind and told us a lot about the island, so it was a really fun tour! We also got to see the coconut crabs, which we had been hoping to see, and it was a wonderful memory! We were also able to see a starry sky, and it was an experience that you can't easily get in the city, so we were very satisfied. We definitely want to come back to see the Iriomote wildcats!

Coconut crab and the Milky Way ^_^ - The excitement of treading through the jungle in the dark... and the excitement of finding a coconut crab! The kids were thrilled to discover it themselves. Once we left the forest, we were greeted by a star-filled sky! It was the first time we saw the Milky Way. The kids were attached to the guide, and it was great that he was friendly and made the trip fun. Thank you very much!

Iriomote Island Night Tour - We participated as a family of four! Ukkun and Maruchan (guide) were very kind to our children, and found and explained many creatures of Iriomote Island, such as coconut crabs, hermit crabs, and vipers. The stars we saw on the coast were spectacular, and they explained about the stars and took lots of wonderful photos, which made our children very happy. Thanks to the guide, we were able to explore at night safely and enjoyably! Thank you very much! We hope to use your services again on Iriomote Island next year!

This is a tour I would like to participate in again if I stay on Iriomote Island. - The reason we stayed on Iriomote Island was because we wanted to take part in a night tour. As expected, we were able to see lots of coconut crabs, vipers and fireflies, and we enjoyed it even more with easy-to-understand explanations. As for the starry sky, it was a new moon, so we were able to see the Milky Way, the Summer Triangle and many other stars that you see in textbooks in the starry sky, so it was a great memory for the whole family. Thank you, Yuya.

The starry sky is the best - We had Yuya as our guide. My son loves animals and had a great time finding many creatures, including vipers and coconut crabs. The starry sky was also amazing. Thank you very much. We hope to come to Iriomote Island again.

Night Tour - My son and I participated together. We were grateful that they were so accommodating to our sudden changes. There were so many different creatures in the jungle at night, it was exciting. We were able to see coconut crabs and vipers. And the sky was full of stars! ️ We'd love to come again in a different season!

I went to see coconut crabs at night - We've been taken care of by Pipi for three days in a row. I'm glad we were able to see lots of coconut crabs on the night tour on the first day. Going out to the beach was unexpected and interesting. I now understand the meaning and effect of changing shoes! We were able to march with peace of mind knowing that our guides were at the front and back of the group to protect us. Thank you very much.
