  • DSLR astrophotography 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!
  • Exploring the Mangrove Grove, a Natural Monument
  • This special night tour, unique to Ishigaki Island, allows you to explore a precious mangrove forest designated as a national natural monument in the magical atmosphere of the night's silence. The mangroves reveal a completely different face than during the day, allowing you to observe the mystical scenery illuminated by lights and the rich subtropical ecosystem up close, including crabs and fish that become active at night. As you walk through the mangrove forest, which changes its appearance with the ebb and flow of the tides and is teeming with life, your guide will provide easy-to-understand explanations about Ishigaki Island's nature and ecosystem. Please enjoy this special experience that allows you to feel the rich nature of Okinawa with all your senses, something you can't experience during the day.
