I came last year as well. I was very pleased to be able to enjoy the Yaeyama fireflies that are only visible during this time of year again this year. I definitely want to participate again next year.昨年も来ました。この時期だけの八重山ヒメボタルの観賞が今年もできたので大変良かったです。また、来年も是非参加したいです。
The guide arrived as scheduled, and we headed to a spot about 20 minutes away by car. We arrived a bit early, which allowed us to witness the enchanting flicker of fireflies just as our eyes were adjusting to the darkness. There were a few incidents along the way, like cars from other tourists arriving unexpectedly, but we were still able to enjoy ourselves at a leisurely pace. The guide was very kind and shared recommendations for spots and places to eat along the way.予定通りにガイドの方が来てくれて、車で20分ほどのスポットへ 少し早く着きましたがおかげでゆっくりと目が慣れる頃にホタルの幻想的な瞬きを目撃することが出来ました。 途中でツアー以外の旅行客？の車がきてしまったりのアクシデントがありましたがゆっくりと楽しむ事が出来ました、ガイドさんもとても親切で途中でオススメのスポットや食事処を教えて下さいました。
We loved the firefly trip because we've never seen so many of them in one place before. They seemed so beautiful and mysterious, accompanied by the heavenly sounds and smells of the forest at night. We highly recommend this tour for any age of guest. The tour leader was brilliant and we understood everything although we do not really fully understand Japanese. We were also able to book quickly on the day of the tour, online, and this was really convenient. Thank you again for the experience of … We loved the firefly trip because we've never seen so many of them in one place before.
