You may have a chance to encounter snakes such as the viper, the Yaeyama scorpion, one of only two species of scorpion in Japan, the scorpion-like imitation, the agile Sakishima tree lizard and Sakishima grass lizard, Yaeyama's endemic frogs, and even the Ryukyu wild boar and Yaeyama flying fox! After that, we move to the coast and finally start searching for coconut crabs. We will observe the ecology of the coconut crab, one of the world's largest terrestrial crustaceans, up close. On the beach, you may encounter land hermit crabs, various crabs, and if you're lucky, even sea snakes. The night sky is filled with stars and the Milky Way, allowing you to experience the mysteries of nature in a fantastical atmosphere. Please join us on this special tour where you can fully experience the charm of Yaeyama at night, which is completely different from daytime!
