Good to see, smell and sound Sagaribana - I participated in the early morning Sagaribana viewing walk. It was late in July, so it was late in the season, but I was able to see it safely. It was a quiet early morning, and while I was walking around listening to the owls and other birds, I could hear the Sagaribana fall and have a healing time. The child was a little bit uninterested, so the whole family was able to enjoy it, rounding it up a little early and looking for the Crested Eagle instead Thank you to the staff, Koma-chan! P.S. I saw three red kingfishers.

It was a lot of fun. - It was my first time to visit Iriomote Island. It was a very vital island and I was able to meet many creatures. I've found five large palm crabs, Ryukyu crabs, swallow crabs, tree frogs, benkei crabs and giant eels. Are plants also octopus trees, Okinawan Sawatake peaches, and Hamahobou? I was able to learn many strange and enjoyable ecology such as this. Of course the main Sagaribana also smelled really good and was beautiful. It was the first time I had experienced a night tour, and I really enjoyed it. Our guide Komase-san (he told us to call him Koma-chan and he was a very friendly and reliable brother) was extremely knowledgeable and I enjoyed it from start to finish. Thank you so much for your support!

Iriomote Sagaribana Night Jungle Tour - Our guide Kono made our night tour special with his cheerful nature. He speaks English very well. We saw lots of different kinds of crabs and beautiful Sagaribana flowers. When we are on the way back, the famous Habu passed in front of our car.

Extraordinary experience in Sagaribana & Jungle - Iriomote Island at night was exciting. Mr. Seki, our guide, showed us around politely, and I'm glad I took part in the night tour of "Team Seki." Actually, it was cloudy right after the typhoon, so I couldn't see the Milky Way, but I was able to see a lot of animals, plants and insects that I wouldn't see on a jungle tour. And, of course, the Hab. The coconut crab was also powerful. The Sagaribana was also very vivid and beautiful. "A picture is worth a thousand words." Now I'm coming back to Iriomote Island to see the Milky Way!

Early morning Sagaribana tour - I joined the tour because I wanted to see flowers that only bloom overnight. Our guide, Seki, explained the flora and fauna other than the Sagaribana in an easy-to-understand manner, and gave us a lot of trivia about Iriomote Island, so it was more fun than I expected. I'm glad you sent me a picture I couldn't take! I wanted to see the Sagaribana in full bloom, but I thought the early morning tour was a great deal because you can see both blooming and falling flowers. Now I want to look forward to seeing what kids will take me on the Yufushima Water Buffalo Tour!

Sagaribana tour recommended - This year, I decided to travel early to see the Sagaribana and was worried about the delay in its bloom. Matsuko-san's tour made me happy to see the beautiful Sagaribana and enjoy the scent. I was happy and grateful for the service to send me videos and photos of moments I couldn’t take myself 😊
