    It seems this is a new plan that is being held from this year! When I joined the daytime tour, the guide recommended it to me! I had never heard of a flower called "Sagaribana", so it was a very heartwarming experience for me. I will be back to reality tomorrow, but I will do my best! LOL!

    We used this tour for a family trip, and since we had a 3 and 4 year old, we discussed with them from what we could do, and on the day of the tour, we experienced canoeing. The friendly guide supported us well, so we could enjoy ourselves to the fullest without any worries. He also taught us about the plants of Iriomote Island, and we were able to enjoy Iriomote Island! We will use this tour again.

    We used this site for our college graduation trip. The guide was great, not only during the canyoning, but also along the way, he was a great conversationalist! He took a lot of funny pictures and the service was excellent. The guide was about the same age as us, so we felt like we came together. It was great to have a flippant and funny guide! Thank you very much!

    I have been wanting to join the Sagaribana tour for a long time because of the timing of the trip, but finally I was able to join the tour! I am thankful that I can join the tour even if I am alone. The guide communicated with me without dividing us, so I didn't feel lonely and had a good time. It was really a special experience to see the sagaribana blooming in the silence of the night. I would like to participate again!

    I was able to fully enjoy the sagaribana that grows wild on Iriomote Island, which I had longed to see! To enjoy the sweet fragrance of sagaribana, we recommend the walk rather than the cruise. You can walk on the wooden path maintained along the mangrove waterside with marine shoes included in the tour fee. The sounds of sagaribana falling, bees swarming around flowers, wild birds singing, and fish jumping on the surface of the river...we were very much entertained by the knowledgeable and service-oriented guide, Hayata. We also appreciated the transportation to and from the Hoshino Resort. On our way home, we found a coconut crab that had been involved in a traffic accident, and he even stopped the car to explain about it! Thank you very much, hayata-san!
