[Orion Ishigakijima Points] ★Private tour for small groups! ★Beginners and children are welcome! ★Shuttle service available! ★Free photo data! ★Hot showers and changing rooms available! ★Very popular with small children! Paddle not only in the river but also in the sea for a satisfying experience! Starting from a beach that resembles the original landscape of Okinawa, weave through the mangroves to the tidal flats in the back. You can enjoy both the sea and the river. Everyone from babies to grandparents can play together. [About the tour start time] The tour start time is set taking into account the tides. We will contact you after your reservation is confirmed to confirm the exact start time. Enjoy kayaking/SUP while being rocked by the waves on the wide, bright sea. Even beginners can practice while actually moving forward. By the time you reach the river, you will have improved quite a bit. Once you pass under the bridge, the world of mangrove virgin forest spreads out before you. Slowly move forward on the calm river surface without waves. The mangroves get closer and closer. Crabs are hiding at the base. Birds are watching you. Take pictures of such a scene and go further in. Soon, the wide tidal flats come into view. Many crabs and other creatures live on the tidal flats. The moment you step on the tidal flats, gobies and many crabs fly away from your feet. Birds ring out overhead. Crabs peek out from their holes. If you listen carefully, you can hear all kinds of voices and sounds. It's lively in the summer, but when it cools down, it becomes quiet. In the hot season, you can even swim. We explain about the creatures and catch them to observe. I want the children to know the fun of discovering them for themselves! After spending some time in this other world, we go down the river again and head to the sea, realizing that we have become quite skilled at kayaking/SUP. When we come out of the narrow river, the sea feels much wider. We head for the finish line, either leisurely or with effort.

There, you will be greeted by various creatures such as birds, crustaceans, and rare insects. Sharpen your five senses and explore by releasing the senses that you do not usually use in your daily life! The field is not a place where you have to push your way through a jungle with lush vegetation, so you can participate with confidence in casual clothes. Let's make the best memories of Miyakojima! [Satisfaction No. 1] Compared to other stores, the encounter rate of creatures such as coconut crabs, insects, and reptiles is much higher. We have knowledge of creatures, so please ask us anything. [Guidance in small groups] These night tours are often held with large groups, but our shop guides small groups to be considerate of the natural environment and to enjoy a more fulfilling time! With a large number of people, it is difficult to hear the guide's voice and it is difficult to see the creatures well, so our shop is very popular. [Recommended for families♪] Recommended for families! Jomon Tribe focuses on tours for families. Don't worry, our guides have experience working for a nature experience NPO for children, and are used to working with children, so they will support and care for your child's curiosity.

Limited to summer, this is a nightly beetle and stag beetle hunting tour, aimed at small children. We will mainly hold the event on weekdays when there is less competition. We apologize for the late hours, but we would be happy if we could help you make summer memories with your children. We look forward to your early reservations. ▼Experience content On the day, we will visit several points and introduce tips for observation. We will observe beetles and stag beetles. You can see cicadas emerging, long-eared beetles, stag beetles, brown beetles, and on rare occasions, raccoon dogs. It is safe at night as there are few wasps. The number of observations varies depending on the weather, but generally ranges from a few to a few dozen at most, with fewer observed before and after rain. Please understand that we cannot commit to the number of observations due to the natural environment. All the insects we observed will be released locally, and everyone will be given the same insects that they have captured in the local areas (mainly Ibaraki and Tochigi prefectures). ▼About gathering・Customers by car or on foot: Please come directly to the point at 7:00 pm *Details will be provided only to guests who have made a reservation ▼Dispersal ends around 8:30 pm, and you can return by train (JR) .

For families, how about a 3-hour fishing tour from early morning, afternoon, or evening when you are staying in the Fuji Five Lakes area? We also offer one-day sightseeing guides, skiing and snowboarding lessons, and Jukai and cave tours. This is a nature experience tour around Mt. Fuji, and is basically an experiential weekend plan for elementary school students and pre-schoolers who want to enjoy the great outdoors around Fuji. Girls can also participate as children. We look forward to your participation as a parent and child. Please arrive at Lake Motosu by 8:00 a.m. Fishing is best in the morning. In the summer, it is also possible to catch them in the evening. They also have the habit of eating stink bugs and cicadas. On the day, we will meet at Lake Motosu and start fishing for rainbow trout early in the morning at Lake Motosu. The theme is fish, animals, and insects in the great outdoors. We will give a fishing lecture in the morning and aim for native rainbow trout. While you are not catching any fish, we will plan various things to enjoy, such as rummaging around for Yoshinobori and catching insects (there are beautiful stink bugs), observing wild birds, and looking for driftwood. Please take this opportunity to enjoy rainbow trout fishing. Experience a pull that is far superior to that of trout caught at managed fishing areas. You can take home up to 10 fish you catch. Please bring ice in a cooler box. It is also convenient to bring a folding chair. The best time to fish is in winter, when you can fish in shallow waters, and in spring and autumn, you can fish a little deeper, and in summer, you can cast from the cliff and search for areas around 30 to 50 meters. So, this is a fishing that can be done all season, but the fish in North America are lively and delicious in the cold. Please purchase a fishing ticket under the supervision of the Lake Motosu Fisheries Cooperative Association. It costs 1,000 yen for adults. Also, I have been living here for 30 years. I have a villa near Mt. Fuji at 1,200 meters, so please contact me for sightseeing, meals, plans, etc. Recommended places are Fujinomiya Yakisoba, Mume-san Fujiyoshida Udon, Takegawa Hoto, Kosaku Hills Burger, Hand-made Soba at Lake Kawaguchi Oshino Hakkai, and Ikemoto Chaya Sightseeing, which has a Fuji Trout Farm, feeding, and managed fishing area.
