Enjoy the sunset and night of Ishigaki Island! ・April-June: The dancing Yaeyama fireflies! ・The hanging flowers that bloom at night in June-July! This is a nature night tour! The tour time is 2.5 hours, from 18:00-20:30 (30 minutes earlier or later depending on the season). In addition to fireflies and hanging flowers, look for rare nocturnal creatures such as Ryukyu scops owls and coconut crabs. On clear days, a starry sky that has been certified as Japan's first "starry sky conservation area" spreads above your head. Lovers, families, and solo travelers are all welcome. Be sure to take a look at the nature and night sky that can only be seen here. During the drive, a guide who knows Ishigaki Island inside and out will show you tourist spots and secret information, so you won't get bored.
From April to June, the powerful light emitted by their tiny bodies, just 2mm long, dances across the night sky, creating a truly natural illumination! In Honshu, the best time to see fireflies is June to July, but in the warm climate of Ishigaki Island, you can enjoy them earlier.
This tour, available only in June and July, allows you to see the beautiful, fantastical white flowers of the hanging flowers. It is difficult to find the right timing to see the hanging flowers in full bloom. If you join the tour, a guide will guide you through the jungle at night, so you can reach the destination safely.

Plan attractions
spectacular sunset You can enjoy a variety of nature
Sagaribana in full bloom Barringtonia can also be seen on Ishigaki Island for a limited time from May to October. Barringtonia is a flower that blooms only at night and is said to be a phantom flower, and in Japan it can only be seen in Okinawa Prefecture. It has a scent like chocolate, and when it is in full bloom, the surrounding area is wrapped in a sweet scent. The way the fallen flowers slowly flow down the river is also beautiful. The language of flowers is "Good luck will come" May good luck come to you too...
spectacular sunset First of all, a spectacular sunset unique to a remote island surrounded by the sea! The unobstructed view from the beach is the best. You can see the beautiful sunset sky.
Limited time only! Dance of fireflies The Yaeyama Hime Firefly is Japan's smallest precious firefly that can only be seen from March to June. Although they are only 2mm in length, their light is flickering and powerful, and the way they dance wildly in groups is dazzling. You can see them only for a short period of time, and they light up all at once 30 to 60 minutes after sunset. There is no doubt that you will be impressed by the fantastically lit scenery! Since the time and place are limited, we recommend joining a tour if you want to see fireflies.

rare small owl The Ryukyu scops owl is a small owl that lives in Okinawa Prefecture and Amami Oshima. It is nocturnal and features a cute meow like a cat. You can fully enjoy the atmosphere of the southern country just by hearing the cries.
Wilderness jungle exploration Ishigaki Island has a subtropical jungle that remains as a virgin forest. There are many kimonos that are rare in the great outdoors that cannot be experienced in everyday life. Coconut crabs are the largest arthropods on land and can only be found in Okinawa Prefecture in Japan. Large individuals grow to over 40 centimeters, spread their legs to more than 1 meter, weigh more than 4 kilograms, and their pincer force is said to rival that of a lion! *It is dangerous, so please do not approach it even if you find it.
cute! tree lizard The Ryukyu tree lizard is a rare lizard with a dinosaur-like appearance. Body color can vary from bright green to brown. However, the movement is surprisingly slow, so it is often caught by the guide...
