• Starry sky photos taken in an International Dark-Sky Association certified dark sky reserve.
• Ishigaki Island has been designated Japan's first Dark Sky Reserve by the International Dark-Sky Association. With less artificial light pollution compared to mainland Japan, Ishigaki Island is a renowned spot for stargazing. Located at the southernmost tip of Japan, the Yaeyama Islands offer views of all 21 first-magnitude stars and 84 of the 88 constellations. It is said to have the highest number of stars observable in Japan. It is a misconception that all of Ishigaki Island is a Dark Sky Reserve. More accurately, it refers to the "Iriomote-Ishigaki National Park." To put it simply, it refers only to the outlying islands such as Taketomi, which are all part of the national park, and the northern region of Ishigaki Island. Star Life Ishigaki Island tours are conducted in the northern region of Ishigaki Island, which is part of the national park, allowing you to take photos in a Dark Sky Reserve! A photo taken with your loved one in a Dark Sky Reserve is sure to be a lifelong memory. And there's no limit to the number of photos you can take!
• Firefly viewing
• Firefly viewing, an experience available only from March to May, is a special time that beautifully illuminates the nights of Ishigaki Island. In the quiet natural surroundings, untouched by artificial light, the sight of countless fireflies gently twinkling is like a natural illumination. The mystical light that floats before your eyes is truly breathtaking, something that cannot be captured in photographs or videos. Its short season makes it all the more precious, creating a special memory that can only be experienced at this time of year. It is a luxurious experience to slowly enjoy the light in the silence.
