Ishigaki Island is the first place in Japan to be certified as a Dark Sky Park. Unlike the blue ocean world of the daytime, a world of greenery and starry skies spreads out in the jungle at night. While gazing at the starry sky, let's go search for creatures and plants that can only be seen at night, such as endemic species found only on Ishigaki Island, coconut crabs, scorpions, fireflies, and fruit bats! This is an approximately 2-hour night tour. Led by a guide, you will explore the jungle, from large creatures to small ones and plants.

Is this island a paradise for amazing creatures? We will show you! We will charm you with an extraordinary encounter rate!
Coconut Crab — The strongest hermit crab has arrived! The world's largest land crustacean actually lives on this island! It is huge! It is strong! And it is rare — a vulnerable species. A legendary resident that you might only be able to meet on this island. Yaeyama Fruit Bat — The 'sower' with a 1m wingspan takes flight! With a wingspan of 1m! Every time it flies through the sky, it carries seeds, and every time it flies, the forest expands. Is it a walking reforestation machine? No, it is a flying forest architect! ✨ Ryukyu Firefly — The wizard the size of a grain of rice. The smallest firefly in Japan, the Ryukyu firefly. Even though its body is the size of a grain of rice, its light is serious. With its small body, it turns the forest into a starry sky. Yaeyama Madobotaru — One of the largest fireflies in Japan, and even the larvae glow?! One of the largest fireflies in Japan is here! Not only the adults, but the larvae glow too...? There are nights when the night forest becomes a parade of light. There are scorpions — and all species found in Japan! There are only 2 types of scorpions in Japan. Both of those types are on this island. This might actually be the only place in Japan where you can meet a scorpion... perhaps.
Let's head to the universe tonight.
A starry sky shouldn't just end with being 'beautiful'. The night in northern Ishigaki Island is extraordinary. In March 2018, this sky was recognized as a 'Dark Sky Park' by the International Dark-Sky Association—the first in Japan and the second in Asia. City lights are stripped away, and the dark night sky is preserved as it is. All 21 first-magnitude stars—conquered. From the North Star in the northern sky to the stars twinkling just above the southern horizon, you can see them all if you lift your head. The common belief that 'you cannot see southern stars' is invalid on this island. The brilliance of the Earth's north and south meets in one night sky. 84 out of 88 constellations are visible. Almost all the constellations floating in the sky—only 4 more to complete. The northern sky of the Big Dipper and the southern sky of the Southern Cross line up on a single canvas. Every time you flip through a star chart, the real thing is right there—a night sky that makes star charts unnecessary. On clear nights, the Milky Way traverses the sky, and countless stars rain down. The boundary between the sky and the sea melts and disappears. All 21 first-magnitude stars, 84 constellations. Northern Ishigaki Island is the place closest to the stars in Japan. Let's fill tonight's schedule with stars.
No worries if you don't have transportation! Secret information is also available!!! Same-day bookings are also welcome! Enjoy it in your own style.
A must-see for those who have not rented a car! We will pick you up at designated locations such as your hotel or the airport, so you can head to the Ishigaki Island jungle at night smoothly without the hassle of transportation! During the ride, our guide will also share recommended information about Ishigaki Island that you will not find in guidebooks. Note: Generally, you will meet at the site. Please enter your preferred pickup location in the remarks section when booking.
