How to Get to a Stargazing Photo Tour with No Transfer
The star photo and SUP tours have no pickup; you meet us on site. The star photo spot is within a 30-minute drive from Ishigaki town and we tell you where by LINE on the day. SUP tours meet at the Sokoji Beach parking lot. Only the firefly tour picks you up at your hotel.
The star photo and SUP tours have no pickup. You meet us on site and leave from there. That is how we keep a private star photo tour at ¥6,000 per adult. Only the spring firefly tour picks you up at your hotel.
Meeting points
| Tour | Meeting point | Pickup |
|---|---|---|
| Star photo tour | Sent by LINE on the day (within a 30-minute drive from town) | No |
| Clear SUP / Sunset SUP | Sokoji Beach parking lot (185-1 Kabira, Ishigaki, Okinawa) | No |
| Fireflies | Pickup at your hotel (from the 7th guest, a meeting point sent by LINE on the day) | Yes (hotels within about 20 min of town, first 6 guests a night) |
For the star photo tour we pick the best spot for that night's weather and moon, so we send the location by LINE on the day.
Getting there
- Rental car: the easiest option. Some roads have few streetlights, so please drive slowly.
- Taxi: there are fewer taxis at night. Book your return ride when you book the ride there.
- Please be on time. If you are running late, message us on LINE.
