\ A fantastic night view that can only be seen at this time of year! / "Yaeyama Hime firefly viewing tour" ★ Limited time only available from March to June! ★ Participation welcome from age 0! Fun for everyone, from children! ★ Includes a mini stargazing tour led by an Ishigaki City certified guide! "Yaeyama Hime firefly" only lives on Ishigaki Island and Iriomote Island. When spring arrives in Yaeyama (around March to June), they display beautiful lights as part of their courtship behavior for a limited time only.

After the lights start to appear one by one, countless Yaeyama Hime fireflies begin to light up one after another, and the forest is enveloped in a truly fantastical space. This tour is highly recommended for those visiting Ishigaki in the spring ♪
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!

It is a very magical and romantic light show that can be seen only a few minutes after sunset on Ishigaki Island from March to May. Even small children can participate with peace of mind.
先日はありがとうございました! 初めてのホタルに親子共に思い出に残る時間となりました。 子どもも終わったあとも「ホタルいっぱいおったな!」と嬉しそうでした。 また、他にも都会では見れない動物を見れたり、鳴き声が聞こえたりと面白かったです! 本当にありがとうございました^^

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. If you take off all at once as if by arrangement, you will be surrounded by fireflies and be enveloped in the light of the fireflies. 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! You can also see the Milky Way and the Southern Cross~^^-Measures against infectious diseases such as coronavirus-FLOWFISH will take several measures so that guests can enjoy the tour with peace of mind.

車を降り、歩きながらの植物のお話も面白く、暗くなるまでの時間も楽しめました。ふくろうの鳴き声を聴きながら、思っていた以上にたくさんのホタルが見られました。本当にキレイでした。 またガイドさんの知識も広く、ホタルの幼虫を赤いライトを当てて見せてくださったり、行きも帰りも車をゆっくり走らせて、常に何かを探しておられ、見つける度に知らせてくださいました。 質問にも答えてくださり、楽しい時間を過ごすことができたツアーでした。
