Overall, I was very satisfied, but it was disappointing that the tour guide's camera was broken and I couldn't get any photos. 台風が接近して雨がときおり降る中での参加でした。
マングローブカヌーでは、普段見ることのできない動物や植物をみることができ、とても楽しかったです。
カヌーのあとはトレッキングで、途中から雨が降り足場が悪かったですが、自然を楽しみながら登ることができました。
滝壺ではあたたかいそばを頂き、これが本当に美味しかった！
滝上は絶景だったのでぜひ行って欲しいポイントです。
全体的にはとても満足でしたが、ツアーガイドのカメラが壊れて写真がもらえなかったので残念でした。

Dear Tariri,

Thank you for participating in our tour last year. We are very pleased to receive your review.

Due to the impact of Typhoon No. 5, the tour was canceled for about two days. While summer in Iriomote Island is the best time for activities, it is also a period that is susceptible to typhoons. The weather is truly a matter of luck.

Dear Thomas,

On the day of the tour, it rained occasionally, and the jungle felt like a mist sauna, making us sweat more than usual. However, after climbing up to the waterfall, the view exceeded my expectations. It was a lucky day as I also got to see some rare lizards. Please come back to visit us again. We are sincerely looking forward to your return. Thank you very much for participating in the tour.

ツアー当日は時おり雨が降り、いつも以上にジャングルの中はミストサウナみたいになって、汗が沢山吹き出て大変でしたね。笑　しかし、滝上まで登った後は私自身も期待以上の絶景でした。。
また珍しいトカゲなどに会えたりとラッキーな１日でした。また遊びにいらしてくださいね。心よりお待ちしております。ツアーのご参加本当にありがとうございました。

The Yaeyama soba at the top of the waterfall was delicious and was among the best meals of this trip.

Dear Eppi,

Thank you for participating in the tour the other day. This year's Golden Week had unstable weather, but I'm very happy to hear that you enjoyed it.

Next time you visit, I believe your child will be able to play more actively. There are many points on Iriomote Island where you can have even more active fun, so look forward to it! Thank you again. I'm glad the Carp have bounced back in the latter half of Golden Week as well. (laughs)

Best regards,

先日はツアーのご参加ありがとうございました。今年のＧＷは不安定な天候が続きましたが、楽しんで頂けたみたいで、とても嬉しいです。

It was my first time kayaking, but the guide taught me carefully, and I learned a lot about nature as well. The timing for breaks was good, and I was able to enjoy the tour until the end. However, I received a response that transportation was difficult due to the busy season, but if it is stated online that transportation is available, I would like them to ensure that it is provided.カヤック初めてだったがガイドさんから丁寧に教えていただいたし、自然のことも詳しく勉強にもなった。休憩のタイミングもよく最後まで楽しくツアーを体験できた。
ただ繁忙期のため送迎が難しいとの回答があったが、ネットで送迎可を表記してるのであれば確実に対応してほしいと思いました。

It was a one-on-one tour with a guide. After the mangrove canoeing, we aimed for the waterfall, but it turned out to be a tougher trail than expected. Climbing over trees and rocks that had survived with strong vitality, we were greeted by a breathtaking view from the top of the waterfall cliff. Beyond the jungle, we could see the sea and islands adorned in marine blue and emerald green, which was a wonderful sight. The day was quiet, and it was almost like we had the place to ourselves.

After descending towards the waterfall basin, we entered the pool, and contrary to our expectations, the cold water refreshed our tired bodies from all the sweat, and we floated there for a while. On the way back, we also spotted a habu snake.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time on Iriomote Island. ガイドとマンツーマンのツアーでした。マングローブカヌーの後、滝の上を目指しましたが予想以上のタフな獣道でした。強い生命力で生き残った木々や岩々を登った先に滝の崖上から見下ろす絶景が待ち構えていました。ジャングルの先にはマリンブルーとエメラルドグリーンに彩られた海や島々が一望でき、素晴らしい景色でした。この日は空いており、ほぼほぼ貸切状態でした。

It was our first time in Iriomote Island as a married couple. We experienced a mysterious weather pattern with both rain and sunshine during our mangrove kayaking and trekking. There were many animal trails along the way, and some challenging sections, but the weather was just right, so we managed to get through it. Our guide was also very kind, and the Yaeyama soba he made was exquisite! I would love to come back with our children when they grow up.夫婦になって初めての西表島でした。

Above all, moving through the great outdoors created fantastic conditions for taking photos and videos with my smartphone.

During the trekking, we aimed for a waterfall and its basin located in the mountains of Iriomote Island. The guide's casual talks and explanations about the natural plants and animals made the trekking enjoyable and effortless! The waterfall and basin were breathtaking, and we could see them up close, allowing us to capture impressive photos and videos.

At the top of the waterfall, the staff prepared Yaeyama soba for us, and it was incredibly delicious after the hike.

Overall, the staff's extensive knowledge, careful explanations, and safe guidance made this a tour I would love to join again if I have the chance.

A wonderful tour that can be enjoyed in winter with a fantastic instructor.

The instructor teaches various things about the island, so I think you can enjoy it even if you come without any prior knowledge, and you can return with new insights. I visited in winter with a friend, and we were fortunate with the weather, allowing us to enjoy it at a comfortable temperature. Despite it being winter, we were playing in the river, and I was touched by the kindness and friendliness of the instructor who joined us in the cold water.

Due to the timing, this tour was just for us, which allowed us to go at our own pace and communicate a lot, making me love this tour even more. While summer is the popular time to visit, I believe the biggest advantage of going in winter is that it’s not too hot and you can enjoy it in a less crowded environment.

I think this tour is perfect for those who want to know more about Iriomote Island and for active individuals. I highly recommend participating! 　今回が私にとっては西表島初上陸でした。自然が多く天然記念物がたくさんいるイメージしかなく、何も調べずに来てしまいましたが、自然が壮大でとても心癒されるいいところでした。

夏場に行くのが主流だとは思いますが、暑すぎず、空いている中でできることが冬場に行く最大のメリットだと思います。
　
西表島について知りたい方、アクティブな方にはもってこいなツアーだと思います。ぜひ参加してみてください！

We had a nearly private field experience unique to the winter season, and we were blessed with great weather for this time of year, making it an amazing day. I was able to have many conversations with the two of you, and as your guide, I also felt energized.

There are still many fun spots to explore on Iriomote Island. I will prepare even more interesting stories for your next visit, so please come back again! Thank you!とんとんみーさま

I debated whether to go for a two-person or one-person canoe, but ultimately chose the one-person option. The river's gentle flow made it possible for me, a small and not very strong woman, to paddle while enjoying the scenery. The mountain climbing was on a muddy path, but thanks to the free rental shoes, I was able to walk safely. The view from above the waterfall and the basin was truly breathtaking, creating a wonderful moment. The lunch and snacks prepared by the guides were also delicious. Next time, I would like to try sea kayaking.

Dear Tamio,

Thank you for joining the tour. Since it was just the two of you on that day, I was glad we could share many unique stories about Iriomote Island. Being able to enjoy the field in such a private setting was a luxury that only the less crowded winter season can offer.

I believe your new life will begin in spring and get busy, but if you have the chance, please come back to visit us again! I look forward to seeing you again!

Thank you very much.

Upon arriving at Uehara Port, a guide with a refreshing smile welcomes you with an easy-to-understand "Windmill" sign. You can rent waterproof backpacks and shoes for free, so as long as you prepare clothes that can get dirty, you don't need to bring anything else.

I wasn't very confident in my physical strength, so I was worried, but the guide provides thorough instructions on how to paddle a canoe and tips for trekking, allowing me to participate with peace of mind.

While floating in the canoe, the pleasant sounds of the natural monument birds make it easy to forget the hustle and bustle of city life. I felt as if I could paddle the canoe anywhere. After the canoeing, we moved on to trekking up to the waterfall. Climbing 55 meters up the cliff reveals a breathtaking view. Although the path is rough, I was so captivated by the guide Hoshi's lively talk about plants and Okinawa's history that I arrived before I knew it.

At the top of the waterfall, we were treated to homemade Yaeyama soba by Hoshi. The homemade pork belly and the steaming soup were so appetizing just to look at. Taking a sip of the Yaeyama soba soup against the stunning backdrop revived every cell in my body. (Hoshi's Yaeyama soba was even more delicious than the one I had at a famous shop in Ishigaki Island.)

We were able to take great photos at all the spots, and we received all the data right after the tour ended. I am 120% satisfied. This became the best memory of my 3-night, 4-day trip.

On the way back in the canoe, the scenery was so beautiful that it brought tears to my eyes. My husband and I talked about how many more times we could go canoeing together before we die. This tour became a goal for us as a couple. 上原港に到着すると、笑顔が爽やかなガイドさんが分かりやすい「風車」のプラカードを持ってお出迎えしていただけます。

カヌーでぷかぷかと浮遊していると天然記念物の鳥の鳴き声が耳に心地良く、都会の喧々たる日々を忘れられます。このままカヌーでどこまでも行けるような錯覚を覚えました。
カヌーを終えると、次はトレッキングで滝の上に。崖を55m登ると絶景が広がります。悪路ではありますが、植物のお話、沖縄の歴史など、ガイドの星さんの軽快なトークに聞き入っているうちにあっという間に到着です。
滝上で星さん手作りの八重そばを振舞っていただきました。自家製の豚バラ肉、湯気が立ち上るスープをグツグツと、見ているだけで食欲をそそります。絶景をバックに、八重そばのスープを一口飲むと全身の細胞が生き返ります。(石垣島の有名店で食べた八重そばよりも、星さんの八重そばが美味しかった)

全てのスポットで写真撮影もバッチリしていただき、ツアー終了すぐに全てのデータを頂けます。
120%満足です。今回の3泊4日の旅行で一番の思い出になりました。

帰り道のカヌーは、あまりにも景色がキレイで涙腺が緩みます。夫と「死ぬまでに、あと何回一緒にカヌーに乗れるかな。」と話しながら。
夫婦の目標ができたツアーとなりました。

I participated in February, and I was able to enjoy a clear, warm day with light winds.

First, we traveled for about 30 minutes by canoe. Naturally, without any music, the only sounds were the chirping of birds and the splash of the canoe paddles.

The pleasant breeze and soft sunlight created a sparkling reflection on the water. It was a majestic feeling, and I felt immersed in nature, liberated from everyday concerns.

After that, we temporarily left the canoe and began hiking towards the top of the Pinaisara Falls. Unlike mountain climbing in Honshu, the path is not paved, and we walked through untouched nature. Here too, I felt like I was intruding into nature, allowing me to experience a feeling that is hard to come by in everyday life. (By the way, it does require quite a bit of stamina.)

After about an hour of active hiking, what awaited us was a breathtaking view! The waterfall cascading down vigorously, our canoe in the distance along with the mangroves of Iriomote Island, and the transparent blue sea of Iriomote Island... it was an awe-inspiring sight that is hard to experience elsewhere! We then took a break and enjoyed Yaeyama soba at the top of the waterfall. Combined with a pleasant sense of fatigue, it was incredibly delicious. After that, we paddled for about 30 minutes back down to finish the activity.

Depending on the weather conditions, I highly recommend this activity. ２月に参加しましたが、快晴で風も弱く温かい日に参加できました。

その後、カヌーから一旦離れて、ピナイサーラの滝上を目指して山登りです。本州でやるような登山と異なり、道も舗装されているわけでもなく、自然むき出しの中を歩いていきます。ここでも自然の中にお邪魔します！という感覚で入っていくので、普段なかなか味わえない気分に浸れると思います。（ちなみに、体力は結構要します。）

アクティブ登山をすること約１時間ほど、待っているのは絶景です！勢いよく落ちていく滝、遠くには自分たちの乗ってきたカヌーと西表島のマングローブ、そして西表島の透き通った水色の海・・・、なかなか味わえない景色で圧巻です！そのまま、休憩がてら滝上で八重山そばを食べます。心地よい疲労感も相まって、非常においしかったです。
その後下山して３０分ほどカヌーをこいで、終了です。

天気状況にもよるかもしれませんが、非常におすすめのアクティビティです。

On the day of the tour, I was anxious because the boat to Uehara Port was canceled, but I felt reassured thanks to the careful phone calls and emails the day before and on the day itself, as well as the shuttle service to Ohara Port.

It was my first canoe experience, and I was both excited and nervous, but the kind and attentive guide made it easy for beginners to enjoy. I was able to slowly paddle through the river filled with mangroves and fully enjoy the great outdoors. The jungle trekking after getting off the canoe was harder than I expected, but I regained my energy with the stunning views from the upper falls and the guide's homemade Yaeyama soba lunch. I was truly impressed! During the trekking, the guide was excellent at pointing out slippery spots and places where I might bump my head, which was really helpful. Additionally, the guide was friendly and knowledgeable, so I enjoyed hearing various stories while spotting mangroves, gobies, and crabs.

I think it would be even more beautiful and moving on a sunny day. Next time, I want to participate in the summer and try jumping into the lower falls. You should experience not only the canoeing but also the breathtaking views from the upper Pinaisara Falls. I'm glad I joined Kazaguruma's tour! 母と姉の3人で『ピナイサーラの滝（滝つぼ&滝うえ）コース』に参加しました。

Dear Sakama,

Thank you for participating in the tour the other day. The weather was pleasantly cool, making it a perfect day for canoeing and trekking. I believe that Iriomote Island has many attractions that vary by season. While it's great to have a field with fewer people, as we did this time, jumping into the waterfall pool during the hot summer months is also incredibly refreshing!

I look forward to gaining more knowledge and welcoming you back, so please come visit us again!

In mid-March, on a beautifully clear day as it began to warm up, I was fortunate enough to participate. At first, we struggled to synchronize in the canoe, and there was even an incident where we crashed into a tree, but gradually we got the hang of it and started moving smoothly. The incline of the canoe and the headwind felt tough, but as we progressed and the mangrove forest unfolded before us, it felt like we were overseas, and all the difficulty vanished.

At first, we struggled to synchronize in the canoe, and there was even an incident where we crashed into a tree, but gradually we got the hang of it and started moving smoothly. The incline of the canoe and the headwind felt tough, but as we progressed and the mangrove forest unfolded before us, it felt like we were overseas, and all the difficulty vanished.

During the mountain climbing, there were many plants I had never seen before, and the guide's explanations were fascinating. I walked with excitement, wondering what plants would appear next and if I might spot an Iriomote cat, making the time fly by. That said, the path was steep, and I was drenched in sweat by the time I finally reached the top of the waterfall. From there, I could overlook the transparent sea and the islands on the other side, which was an absolutely breathtaking view that left me speechless. Surrounded by that beautiful scenery and the refreshing sound of the waterfall, the Yaeyama soba we had was exceptional, far surpassing any Yaeyama soba I had tasted during my trip to Okinawa.

On the way back in the canoe, we leisurely returned with a tailwind. The sense of accomplishment and fullness made the rocking of the canoe feel pleasant, and I almost dozed off. This tour was truly enjoyable, refreshing, and satisfying both physically and mentally. I would love to go again next week. I'm so glad I came.

Lastly, I would like to thank the guide who took care of us and the group members who worked hard together. 　３月中旬、暖かくなり始めた時期の快晴の日に、運良く参加させていただくことができました。

It was still a bit too cold to swim at the base of the waterfall, but I was glad to participate before the peak summer season. The light shining on the sky, sea, waterfall spray, and the green forest was truly beautiful.

I chose a single kayak and enjoyed it without any worries of capsizing. During the trekking, the guide was very attentive, helping us navigate slippery spots and low-hanging branches, which allowed us to enjoy the experience safely.

At the top of the waterfall, we had Yaeyama soba for lunch, and at the base, we enjoyed a snack of mochi wrapped in shell ginger leaves. It was very delicious. Although I had some concerns about my stamina due to lack of exercise, I was able to enjoy the day energetically until the end, and it was a very satisfying experience. 西表島の大自然を思いっきり楽しみたいと思い、大人気のピナイサーラの滝上＆滝つぼの両方に行ける、こちらのツアーに申し込みました。

カヌーは1人乗りを選び、転覆の不安もなく楽しめました。トレッキング中も、足もとが滑りやすいところや、木が張り出して頭をぶつけやすいところなど、ガイドさんが細やかにフォローしてくださり、安心して楽しめました。
滝上ではお昼ごはんに八重山そば、滝つぼではおやつに月桃の葉でつつんだ餅菓子をいただきました。とてもおいしかったです。運動不足で体力に若干の不安がありましたが、最後まで元気に楽しむことができ、大満足の1日でした。

Dear Hana,

Thank you for participating in the tour the other day. I believe you came at a great time, as there are not many people in the field from early to mid-March, and it's the beginning of warmer weather.

Iriomote Island offers many experiences that you can't usually enjoy in everyday life. There are still plenty of activities to explore, so please come back to visit us again.

I also want to continue learning to provide even more fulfilling tours. I'm looking forward to the day we can meet … Dear Hana,

先日はツアーのご参加ありがとうございました。
3月初旬から中旬にかけてはフィールドに人がそれほど多くなく、暖かくなりはじめる時期でもありますので、hanaさまは良い時期に来られたと思います。
西表島には普段の生活ではなかなか味わうことのできない感動がたくさんあります。まだまだ遊ぶポイントがありますので、ぜひまた遊びに来てください。
ぼく自身もさらに充実したツアーができるよう、勉強していきたいと思っています。また会える日のことを楽しみしています。
ありがとうございました。

Tour to experience the nature of Iriomote Island

Posted Date: 2018/03/19

This is the best tour where you can escape the noise of the city and experience the magnificent nature of Iriomote Island. I participated in mid-March, and what I found to be the best part of the tour was the guide! The guide explained how to use the kayak very thoroughly from start to finish, described the flora and fauna of Iriomote Island, and mixed in jokes throughout, making it enjoyable even for someone like me who struggles with group activities. A group of women who weren't very skilled … This is the best tour where you can escape the noise of the city and experience the magnificent nature of Iriomote Island. I participated in mid-March, and what I found to be the best part of the tour was the guide! The guide explained how to use the kayak very thoroughly from start to finish, described the flora and fauna of Iriomote Island, and mixed in jokes throughout, making it enjoyable even for someone like me who struggles with group activities. A group of women who weren't very skilled at handling the kayak (both single and double kayaks available) were able to manage it by the end thanks to the guide's patient explanations.

With consideration for women and children, and even for someone like me who lacks confidence in physical fitness due to a lack of exercise, the small group size allowed the guide to pay attention to each individual. We were able to enjoy kayaking, trekking, the breathtaking views from Pinaisara, and swimming in the waterfall without any issues, as the pace was well thought out. On the way to the waterfall, we encountered fish, mantis shrimp, lizards, baby habu snakes, and many rare plants, with the guide providing detailed explanations each time. I definitely want to participate in this company's tour again when I come back to Iriomote Island! 都会の雑音から離れ西表島の壮大な自然に触れることができる最高のツアーです。今回3月中旬に参加させていただきましたが、ツアーで個人的に一番良かったと思った点は、ガイドさん！ガイドの方が初めから終わりまでとても丁寧にカヤックの使用法の説明、西表島の動植物の説明、そして随所にジョークも混ぜグループ行動が苦手な私でもとても楽しむことができました。あまり上手くカヤック(1人乗り、2人乗り有)を扱えていなかった女性グループもガイドさんの根気のある説明で最後には問題なくカヤックを扱えるようになっていました。女性や… 都会の雑音から離れ西表島の壮大な自然に触れることができる最高のツアーです。今回3月中旬に参加させていただきましたが、ツアーで個人的に一番良かったと思った点は、ガイドさん！ガイドの方が初めから終わりまでとても丁寧にカヤックの使用法の説明、西表島の動植物の説明、そして随所にジョークも混ぜグループ行動が苦手な私でもとても楽しむことができました。あまり上手くカヤック(1人乗り、2人乗り有)を扱えていなかった女性グループもガイドさんの根気のある説明で最後には問題なくカヤックを扱えるようになっていました。女性や子供への配慮・気遣いはもちろん、日頃から運動不足で体力に自信のない私でもカヤック、トレッキング、ピナイサーラからの絶景、滝壺での遊泳、ガイドさんがしっかりと個々に気を配れる規模の小さいグループでの行動になるので、しっかりとペース配分を考えていただき、なにも問題なく最後まで楽しむことができました。滝までの道中では魚、シャコ、トカゲ、カニやハブの赤ちゃん、マングローブの他にも多くの珍しい植物に出会うことができ、その都度ガイドさんが丁寧に説明してくださいました。次回西表島に来る際も是非もう一度この会社のツアーに参加したいと思います！

Dear Tokyodude,

Thank you for participating in the tour! I believe that the nature tour on Iriomote Island not only allows you to experience the charm of nature but also offers the unique pleasure of meeting and connecting with people.

I will continue to work hard every day to ensure that I can entertain many more customers. When you feel like escaping the noise of the city, please come and visit Iriomote Island. I look forward to seeing you again!

ツアーのご参加ありがとうございました！
西表島でのネイチャーツアーは自然の魅力を感じることはもちろん、人との出会いや繋がりを感じられるのもツアーならではの醍醐味だと思っています。

私も今以上に、たくさんのお客様を楽しませられるよう日々精進していきます。都会の雑音からちょっと抜け出したくなった時は、ぜひ西表島に遊びに来てください。
またお会いできるのを楽しみにしています！

The best views, guides, and soba! The jungle is best in bad weather! Is there only a little time left to enter the waterfall basin? Female participants, please read this.

シナモン

I heard that Allabout has been around since the 20th century, and I thought the guide would be the grandfather at Pinaisara (Shirahige), but it turned out to be a polite young guide named Daichan (24) who appeared at the dock.

After changing into the amphibious shoes (free) at the shop, the guide taught us how to handle the canoe, tips for hiking, and the names of rare trees and animals.

After changing into the amphibious shoes (free) at the shop, the guide taught us how to handle the canoe, tips for hiking, and the names of rare trees and animals. The group, aged 16 to 50, smoothly completed about an hour of trekking up to the waterfall and enjoyed the stunning views. After that, we descended to the base of the waterfall and dove into the waterfall that is in the process of being registered as a World Heritage site! They mentioned that it might not be accessible in a few years. The splashes of water at the base of the waterfall are amazing. Since we wore life jackets, even those who can't swim were fine.

I want to tell the female participants that if walking is tough on the chest, a sports bra or a swimsuit with similar functionality might be better. Also, since we had to climb over rocks and grab onto trees, I felt gloves were necessary. Bringing work gloves would also be reassuring for your nails. Additionally, we spent nearly five hours without a restroom, so be mindful of hydration and other needs.

That said, the 2,000 yen boat fare each way and the tour participation fee felt very reasonable for such an amazing experience. allaboutで20世紀からの老舗と伺い、ピナイサーラ（白鬚）のおじいがガイドかと思いきや、船着き場に表れたのは礼儀正しい青年ガイド、だいちゃん（24）でした。

女性の参加者さんに伝えたいのですが、歩くとき胸が辛いのでスポーツブラまたはその機能がある水着のほうがいいかもです。あと、岩場や木を掴んで登るので、手袋は必要と感じました。軍手でも持っていくとネイルが安心。あとお手洗いなしで5時間近く過ごすので、水分補給や例のあの日とか要注意です。

と言いつつ、片道2千円の船代もツアー参加費もお安く思える最高の体験でした。

Thank you for participating in the tour.
Thank you for providing detailed explanations tailored for women!

I believe there are still some areas where concerns specific to female participants are not adequately addressed, so this is very helpful. Thank you.
There are still many places to enjoy on Iriomote Island. Please come back to visit us again.
We look forward to seeing you from the bottom of our hearts.
Dai Asanoツアーのご参加ありがとうございました。
女性向けに事細かな説明をしていただきありがとうございます！

女性参加者にとってデリケートな心配事には、まだ対応が不十分な点があると思いますので、とても参考になります。ありがとうございます。
まだまだ西表島は遊ぶ場所はたくさんあります。ぜひまた遊びにいらしてくださいね。
こころよりお待ちしております。Dai　Asano

I participated in the trekking tour to Pinai Sara Falls.

I participated in a trekking tour to Pinai Sara Falls, accompanied by my enthusiastic mother. I was astonished by the height of the waterfall, which was even more impressive than I had imagined, but surprisingly, it didn't take long to climb up.

I was astonished by the height of the waterfall, which was even more impressive than I had imagined, but surprisingly, it didn't take long to climb up. The view from the top of the waterfall was amazing. It was a clear day, and the scenery was truly beautiful. Watching the waterfall from the base had a different atmosphere, and I could have gazed at it forever. I joined the tour in March, but it was still a bit chilly, so I was disappointed that I couldn't swim in the pool. If I have the chance to visit Iriomote Island in the summer, I definitely want to swim in the pool!

They had rentals available for backpacks, waterproof bags, shoes, and more. The guide took photos during the tour, and they sent the data right after it ended. The Yaeyama soba prepared on-site at the top of the waterfall was delicious, and just when I thought I wanted something warm to drink, they served barley tea and mochi as if they were anticipating my needs. Everything was perfect. Thank you so much!

Dear Nango Ikudachi,

Thank you for participating in the tour the other day. The weather was neither too hot nor too cold, making it a perfect day for canoeing and trekking. I believe Iriomote Island has many attractions that vary by season. I will continue to gain more knowledge, and I look forward to our next adventure together!
