50代と70代で参加しました。 ヤエヤマヒメボタルが現れるまでほんの少し時間があるとの事で、綺麗な夕陽が見える場所へ車で寄ってくださり、反対側の空に広がる不思議な夕陽の影まで見せて頂くことが出来ました。 ガイドさんが見つけてあるいくつかの秘密の鑑賞ポイントの中から、年齢に合わせてか、車から歩かずに済む場所で、溢れ出てくるホタルを鑑賞できました。暗闇の中に響く美しい声はリュウキュウコノハズクの鳴き声である事を教えてくれたり、良い距離感でホタル以外のお話しもしてくださいました。 また、星空観察も、息をのむ美しさとはこれなのか、と実感できる程の星が広がるよく見える場所に連れて行っていただきました。こちらも車から降りて空を見上げただけなので、年齢に合わせて下さったのだと思います。ポインターを使っての説明もわかりやすく、知識の深さを感じました。 本当にありがとうございました!こちらのツアーをおすすめします!

An appreciation tour surrounded by the best starry sky in Japan and the light of fireflies around 360 degrees! A world of beautiful light created by Yaeyama Himebotaru and a sky full of stars in the night sky! Let's go see the limited-time natural illumination SHOW! The main thing you can observe is the Yaeyama hime firefly. The flickering light is a different feature from the fireflies seen in Honshu. Fireflies glow because of their courtship activity.

The viewing point is in the mountains, a 20-minute drive from the city. This is a great spot for serious camera enthusiasts and first-time firefly viewers alike. After watching the fireflies, if the weather is nice, take a short detour before heading home. Let's go see the sky full of stars in Yaeyama, one of Japan's leading starry sky observation spots!

Yoron Island night. Would you like to find a beautifully shining luminous insect? Also known as Umihotaru.
夜光虫たくさんいました。海中の流れ星流星群を見た感じです。ただ流れ星と表現するように一瞬一瞬で見えます。すごくきれいで神秘的です。夜光虫と共に満点の星空にも圧倒されます。大きな天の川、金星に火星、夏の大三角形、たくさんの星座に言葉を失います。船長さんが星についても教えてくれて、星空ツアーがおまけで楽しめてお得です。与論島は緯度が低い為、本州とは違う低い位置に北斗七星がありました。星までの距離がとても近く感じ、流れ星も見られました。とても贅沢な時間となり、ありがとうございました。

The current rate is the early booking discount rate. The 2025 rate will be decided in early February. Flash photography is prohibited when watching fireflies. The Alps, forests and lakes. A thrill of love and indigo. Watch the fireflies at Lake Aokiko by boat. The forest on the cape jutting out into Lake Aokiko turns into a huge summer Christmas tree. The faint, beautiful glow of the stars shining down from tens of thousands of light years away and the small love light of the fireflies compete in a big picture story on the mirror-like heart-shaped lake "Lake Aokiko". We watch fireflies on the boat at Lake Aokiko. The trees over hanging the lake in summer provide a Christmas tree like setting. On clear nights you can enjoy star lights and fireflies both at the same time. With some imagination it looks like a Meteor Shower, the contest of the light between fireflies and stars. Booking by phone is 3,600 yen per person.
カヌーで夜の湖面を漕いで平家ホタルを探したが、得難い経験でした。この夜はホタルはたくさん群れているわけではなかったが十分楽しめた。ガイドさんの説明も的確で良かった。 妻を連れて再訪したい。昼間に場所確認に訪れた際にキャンプサイトの見学を拒否されたのだけは残念。次回 キャンプして見たかったが
