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. In addition, all guests are requested to take measures such as wearing masks, frequently disinfecting, and avoiding crowds. For details, please check the FLOWFISH homepage.

I had an extraordinary experience on today's eco tour with guide Shuji! Exploring the forest and observing the vast array of wildlife was nothing short of amazing. Shuji's extensive knowledge brought the environment to life, and I learned so much about the unique creatures we encountered. His kindness and fun demeanor made the tour both educational and incredibly enjoyable. This adventure with Shuji was truly memorable, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to connect with nature in a profound and delightful way

Slowly, it gets dark, and when you look up at the sky while being surrounded by the sound and scent of the waves, you will see a sky full of stars.

前日の確認連絡の際に、天気予報が荒天だったのですが、石垣島は天気が変わりやすいので、まだ諦めなくて大丈夫ですよ、とお気遣いの言葉を頂きました。また、お電話も丁寧に説明してくださり、初めてのツアーだったので、とても安心できました。当日はあいにくの雨で、ぎりぎり開催できるかどうかの天気だったのですが、集合1時間前にお電話で「キャンセルもできるし、開催もできますが、どうしますか?」と聞いてくださいました。こちらとしては、急に予定がなくなってしまうのも困るし、参加させて頂いたのですが、滞在している場所が中心部から少し離れた場所だったにも関わらず、送迎もしてくれました。また、雨の中でも丁寧にカヤックのレクチャーと引率をしてくださいました。夕焼けと星空は見れなかったのですが、乗船中にも気さくに、こまめに声をかけてくださり、楽しいひと時を過ごすことができました。また必ず利用したいです!
