I went alone, but the photographer was so friendly and chatted with me, so I was able to enjoy myself without feeling self-conscious. The photos taken by a professional under a star-filled sky are treasures I’ll cherish for a lifetime.

Since I had such a great time the last time I visited Miyako Island, I decided to join a stargazing tour this time. The guide explained photography tips in a way that was easy to understand, so I was able to take some photos that turned out so beautiful I was surprised myself. As expected, this tour never disappoints.

At first, I was worried about the weather, but when I arrived, I was moved to see a sky full of stars. Next, a professional taught me how to adjust the settings on my smartphone camera, and I was so happy that I was able to take beautiful photos on my own. The staff were also very kind, and I had a wonderful time…

Even though it was my first time, it was really helpful that you suggested poses and other things! The talk about the stars was also a lot of fun✩.*˚ The date, time, location, and the starry sky—everything was absolutely amazing!! Thank you so much for the wonderful stargazing tour! 🙌🏻🌌

She was such a wonderful photographer—not only did she explain the stars to me in great detail, but her photos were also absolutely stunning; everyone I show them to raves about them. 📸 I’ll definitely ask her to take photos again when my friends visit the island. 💫💫

User_fvvp20代

When I learned that he was a photographer dedicated to protecting the night sky over Miyako Island, I was moved by his passion and decided to ask him to take some photos for us. I asked him to take pictures on the night during our stay when the stars were at their most beautiful, and it turned into such a wonderful memory! Thank you so much for being so kind to my son, who was scared of the pitch-black darkness, from start to finish!

User_fcdu20代

Their attention to detail is second to none! This is a tour I wholeheartedly recommend to both first-time visitors and repeat customers. I’ve had starry sky photos taken in various places before, but the photographer here was by far the most meticulous. I knew the weather was a key factor since we’re dealing with nature, but the photographer constantly monitored cloud movement and weather conditions to make the best decisions. Even after a period of iffy weather, they showed such thoughtful consideration by asking, “Would you like me to contact you when it clears up?” I was truly moved to see how they were constantly keeping an eye on the weather for the guests’ sake. It’s rare to find a photographer who’s this attentive! I saw some wonderful photos on Instagram and decided to go for it, and the beautiful photos he took far exceeded my expectations—it became an unforgettable memory. A tip for anyone planning to join: To see the starry sky at its best, checking the “lunar calendar (moon phase)” is essential. If it’s near a full moon, the moonlight can make the stars hard to see. Also, depending on the timing, there are periods when photography is difficult or when shots can only be taken late at night. Thank you so much!

It was really practical and great that I not only had a professional take photos for me, but also learned how to set up my iPhone to capture beautiful shots of the starry sky. The final photos were flawless. However, since it was a bit windy at the shooting location, I think it would have been even more helpful if they had provided guidance on wind protection measures in advance. Overall, I’m satisfied.
