Why not take a kayak on the west coast of Ishigaki Island, where the sun sinks into the sea, and enjoy the sunset and starry sky? In order to lie down on the kayak and enjoy the sunset and starry sky, we use a large model (3-seater) that is larger than the kayaks used in regular tours, with a total length of 440 cm, a width of 80 cm, and a maximum load of 300 kg, so two people use it, which is very stable. In addition, we do not conduct tours during the day, and we are particular about preparing 4 hours before the start of the tour to choose the best point from 7 points depending on the wind direction, tide level, etc. of the day. ~ Flow of the day ~ (For example, in the case of March 1st) ① 17:35 ~ If you are renting a car, please meet directly at the clubhouse parking lot at 17:35. (If you are using a shuttle service, we will pick you up around 17:00). At the shop, you will check in, use the restroom, change clothes, etc. (15 minutes) ② 17:50 ~ Move to the site where the tour will be held.

The tour begins at the StarOcean Center House. Your guide will be a stargazing guide with extensive experience in stargazing photography, including local guides. We'll guide you to the best spots of the day, taking into account the weather and wind direction. We'll photograph in scenic locations unique to Ishigaki Island, such as quiet beaches and hills away from the city. Even beginners can feel at ease during the photography portion. We'll provide thorough support, from the ground up, on camera settings and composition, to using a free tripod rental. You can participate with any equipment, including DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, and smartphones. You can also take starry sky portraits, capturing yourself silhouetted against a starry backdrop for a perfect memento of your trip. With the option to rent professional-grade equipment, even those without a camera can enjoy a full-fledged photography experience. During the tour, you'll not only see the starry skies, but also the natural beauty of Ishigaki Island. The sandy beach glistens with night dew, the shadows of gently swaying palm trees, and the sound of distant waves and insects. Your guide will move between photo spots, searching for angles with minimal light pollution to capture the perfect shot. The position of the constellations and Milky Way changes with the seasons, so no matter how many times you visit, you'll always find something new to experience. The Yaeyama Islands, including Ishigaki Island, were the first region in Japan to be designated a "Dark Sky Park." This recognition is a testament to the region's globally precious "star-protecting" status. The clear air, minimal light pollution, and stable climate create ideal viewing conditions. As a result, not only is the Milky Way visible with the naked eye, but you can also observe Southern Hemisphere constellations like the Southern Cross and Centaurus. Seeing both northern and southern constellations simultaneously is a special sight, unique to Ishigaki Island in Japan. After your photo shoot, your guide will review your photos on the spot and offer advice on composition and exposure. You'll also receive 10 free high-resolution images. Relive your moments under the starry sky in the form of photographs. The tour lasts approximately one hour. Since it's a private tour, small children are welcome. This tour is recommended for couples, families, and solo travelers. It's also perfect for those who want to spend some quiet time under the stars. ~Schedule~ | Duration: Approximately 1 hour Meet at 8:00 PM (varies depending on the season) in front of the StarOcean Center House! Lights, tripods, etc. are rented. 8:00 PM: Move to the starry sky venue. 8:10 PM: Arrive at the venue. Starry sky photography and play time. 9:00 PM: Experience ends.
