• This exciting tour allows you to experience catching coconut crabs! Okinawa's Onna Village at night is home to many rare creatures unique to subtropical regions, most notably the coconut crab! Coconut crabs are the largest land-dwelling crustaceans, and are said to be found only in Okinawa, Miyakojima, and the Yaeyama Islands in Japan. Their name and legends have given them the image of a crab that climbs coconut trees and eats the coconuts they drop. While they look similar, they are actually a type of hermit crab. It seems that coconuts are not necessarily their main food source, and while they do eat coconuts, they have not been observed climbing trees to cut them off, so this image seems to be a mere urban legend. They grow very slowly, shedding their skin every three months and taking as long as 50 years to reach a length of 40 cm! Because of this, overfishing has led to a decline in their population, making this a valuable experience.
• Comfortable even in hot Okinawa!
• This tour starts at sunset, so you can enjoy it comfortably even in the hot weather of Okinawa ☆ It starts during the time when coconut crabs are active, so it starts around 7pm from November to April, and around 8pm from May to the end of October. Even in winter, it's cold in Okinawa, so be sure to dress warmly and take precautions against the cold when joining the tour!
