I asked for a pick up and drop off at my hotel. We could not see so many stars in the city, but when we went to the suburbs, we were amazed at the starry sky. I was very impressed with the shooting while learning a lot of things from the guide. If I ever go to Ishigaki Island again, I will definitely ask for your help!

550代Month of posting: 2024/01I asked for revenge for the last time we had to cancel due to rain. I was impressed by the star-filled sky, which was more than I had imagined. The photographer/guide was very personable and explained and photographed us carefully. I am very satisfied with the photos I received. I will ask for your help again when I go back in a different season. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to preserve their memories in photos!

540代Month of posting: 2023/12The transportation to and from the hotel was very helpful. The starry sky exceeded my expectations and I was very impressed by the natural planetarium. I was worried that I might not be able to go and see it, but I heard that there is no charge if you don't take pictures, so I think you should go if you are not sure.

530代Month of posting: 2023/08It was a wonderful memory. The sky was full of stars, and you carefully took each picture without making any compromises. The stars were a little low, but thanks to your careful and persistent shooting, we were able to preserve the star-filled sky in front of us, which we would never have been able to keep as a photograph. It was a moving memory. If you are thinking of taking starry sky photos in Ishigaki Island, I can recommend them to you with all my might!

530代Month of posting: 2023/08A star-filled sky. It was an unforgettable memory. The photographer is quite particular about his photos and can take really great pictures without compromise. It was still a little cloudy, but for us it was a wonderful starry sky and an unforgettable memory.

550代Month of posting: 2023/06In any case, it's the best of the best! Date of use was June 6, 2023 with 2 people. (No other participants, another 2 people were replacing them at the end of the shoot. Probably only two groups in time to shoot in one day) The typhoon of the previous week had passed and the weather had been fine, but the location of the shoot was changed from the east coast to the west side of Mikamizaki on this day, as they decided the location of the shoot by using experience and data on the time of moonrise (when stars are not visible) and cloud movement (forecasting wind direction, etc.). Our guide and photographer picked us up from the hotel, and to be honest, we could not see many stars in the sky from the car until we arrived at our destination. The tour guide explained about the stars, but also told us that he could take better pictures of the darker stars through the camera lens, so he responded to our requests and took various shots of us at the top and the bottom of the lighthouse. (He took more than 10 shots and sent us 9 selected shots on line the next day.) He seems to be a very particular person (not stubborn or anything like that). He seems to be a very particular person (not stubborn or anything like that, he is young, but he has a strong policy on photography), and he sometimes cancels the tour if he can't take good shots of the stars and the sky. I am very happy that I applied for this tour and met this photographer, and it was a very good memory. We wanted to take pictures without flash so that we could be one with the night sky. I also asked him to take only the starry sky.
