A Thorough Review by Local Staff! A Firsthand Account of the Kumejima Night Tour

Night Tour

To ensure that visitors to Kumejima can fully experience the beauty of nature at night, our local staff took part in the “Kumejima Night Tour” themselves.

Here are three highlights and the “charm of Kumejima at night” as I experienced it firsthand!

 

1. Be amazed by the “real starry sky”—free from artificial light!

I was overwhelmed by the number of stars—far more than you’d ever see in a city. Kumejima has a low population density, andThere's very little artificial lightThis makes you feel as if you're floating in outer space. Depending on the time of year, you can clearly see the Milky Way and meteor showers with the naked eye, and the best part of a photo tour is being able to capture these breathtaking views in beautiful photos.

 

2. A Thrilling Search for Nocturnal Animals

Even for adults, making your way through the darkness by flashlight gives you that thrilling sense of adventure. Guided by a tour guide, you’ll see creatures unique to Kume Island—some of which have been designated as natural monuments—and more,Animals You Can Only See at NightI was really moved when I came across it. I found nature observation to be a lot of fun, and I realized it’s perfect for children’s independent research projects.

 

3. With a guide, you can feel safe even in the forest at night!

I had thought, “It might be a little scary to venture out into nature at night…,” but since our local guide—who knows the island inside and out—was there to support us the whole time, I was able to enjoy myself with peace of mind, even as a first-timer. The time spent in the quiet night forest and by the seashore, listening only to the sounds of nature, was trulyA Truly Special Moment to Clear Your MindThat was it.

They took some memorable photos for us with the Milky Way stretching across the sky as the backdrop. I was truly moved by the photos—they’re the kind an amateur could never capture. They suggest the best days based on the length of your stay and the island’s weather. Their advice on what to wear was also very helpful. The price is reasonable, too. Thank you very much.

First, we headed to the designated location, and from there, we went with the photographer to a spot where the starry sky was particularly beautiful. When we arrived, we were greeted by a magnificent night sky filled with countless twinkling stars. The photographer made sure to keep us relaxed during the shoot, and the resulting photos turned out absolutely stunning. We’re so glad we participated as a couple.

Since it was a night tour, I was a little nervous about the darkness and finding my way, but the guide kindly shone a flashlight for me, so even as a beginner, I had no trouble at all and really enjoyed it. The beauty of the starry sky above was beyond words, and I’ll treasure the photos the guide took for me as family heirlooms. If you’re on the fence, you should definitely go!
