At night in Iriomote Island...

It is good to spend a relaxing time in Iriomote Island eating delicious food and drinking alcohol, but since you have come to the rich nature of Iriomote Island, how about enjoying the Iriomote Island jungle at night while watching the starry sky spread all over the area?
This time, we would like to recommend a way to enjoy the night in such a case, and gradually closely follow the Iriomotejima Jungle Night Tour, which is popular by word of mouth.

20:00 Pick-up
Pick up in front of the hotel.
20:15 Preparation - Departure
Changed from sandals to boots (free rental)! Get in the car with the other guests (6 in total this time) and Let's Go!
20:30 Now comes the night tour!
Drive to the night tour spots! Our local nature guides will take you to the best night tour locations at the time, depending on the season and the weather of the day. Night tours will be held even if it rains.
Some people prefer rainy days because it feels like a jungle.Upon arrival, a brief lecture on precautions was given, and after preparing insect repellent and a flashlight, we were ready to go! This time, because it was close to Christmas, the nature guide was dressed as Santa Claus. This kind of hospitality was also a nice touch.
In the jungle of Iriomote Island, we were able to encounter many creatures unique to the night tour that we cannot see in the jungle during the daytime, such as coconut crabs, Murasaki-oak hermit crabs, horn crabs, Yaeyama green tree frogs, and Oshima mudflies! The night of Iriomote Island is really pitch-dark and we could hear the sound of wind and creatures when we walked in the jungle, which made our guests surprised at first!
This time it was just low tide, so we went to the jungle x ocean spot. We observed marine life on the beach as the tide receded. This time we could not see them, but if you are lucky, you can see the places where sea turtles lay eggs and dig holes, as well as their footprints. You can see small fish, hermit crabs, crabs, etc.This time the wind was moderate and there were not many waves, so the night sea appeared mysterious when illuminated by lights. This is another luxury that only a night tour can offer!
21:30 Return
Captivated by the charm of Iriomote Island at night, we finished our one-hour night tour, though a little overdue. Remembering the creatures and starry sky we could see that day, we headed for the hotel by the pick-up car.

A customer said, "I was glad to see the precious sight of the endangered coconut crab! I had heard about it by word of mouth, but I didn't expect the stars in Iriomote Island to be so beautiful even though it was a little cloudy. Next time, I will definitely come back for revenge to see the star-filled sky! I will definitely come back again to see the full starry sky next time!
