The appeal of the night tour
A night tour where you can experience the nature of Yonaguni Island, which is completely different from the daytime.
You can enjoy an extraordinary experience surrounded by nocturnal creatures such as coconut crabs, Yonaguni sand squirrels, and Yaeyama flying foxes, a starry sky, and the quiet sounds of the forest.
The guide's commentary is instructive and makes the most of the cool evening hours. It's also a great way to create memories and take photos.
