gongon (Sino-Japanese esoteric Buddhism, originating in the eighth century)
Under the guidance of enthusiastic guides, we enjoyed a mysterious experience unique to Iriomote Island at night. We were fascinated by the graceful appearance of sagaribana blooming after sunset and the star-filled sky floating in the darkness of the jungle. Thanks to the guide's abundant knowledge and careful explanations, we were able to fully enjoy the charm of Iriomote Island, which is different from that of the daytime, on this wonderful night tour.
springtime
We had planned to participate only in the night tour, but we suddenly decided to join this tour because it was the season of sagaribana. It was a fulfilling night with nocturnal creatures and beautiful stars. I would like to visit Iriomote Island again!
big girl
I was planning to book a night tour because my child loves insects and creatures, but since our trip was just around the time of the blooming season of the sagaribana, we booked this tour, which was a great deal!
The tour was fun for both children and adults, and the children were excited throughout to see the rare flora and fauna! The guide was used to dealing with children and talked to them a lot, which was very helpful.
Also, the atmosphere was wonderful, creating a natural sense of togetherness with the other participants, and a good time was had by all.

We enjoyed real katan on the beach surrounded by the great nature of Iriomote Island. The experience of working together as a team to collect trash and advance the game while enjoying the view of the mangroves was exceptional. The program was a fusion of environmental protection activities and games, and we had a lot of pictures taken, making it a great memory for us!
man of valour (valor)
A field day on the beach surrounded by the great nature of Iriomote Island! Environmental protection activities were also incorporated in the program, and we were able to learn the importance of protecting the beauty of nature. I was able to have my picture taken with lots of smiling faces, and it became a memory that will last a lifetime!

The beach cleanup on Iriomote Island was impressive, working in the midst of a special landscape of mangroves! While picking up trash accumulated by the tides, I felt a real sense of participating in the protection of the great nature. It was a wonderful experience that made me feel connected to nature!

It was an experience filled with valuable learning and a sense of fulfillment. In the first classroom lecture, we received detailed explanations about the nature and environmental issues of Iriomote Island, and were able to gain a deep understanding of the island's attractions and challenges. In the beach cleanup that followed, we were able to experience a sense of accomplishment from being able to directly contribute to environmental protection with our own hands, and it also gave us an opportunity to rethink how we deal with nature. Since this was a company trip, it was a good choice because we were able to have a valuable experience that we could not have had just by sightseeing.

The beach sports festival we experienced on Iriomote Island was a program that not only allowed us to truly enjoy ourselves, but also reminded us of the importance of teamwork. Although we participated in the event as a company trip, the competitions held on the beach, an unusual setting, brought everyone back to their childhood and got everyone enthusiastic about the event. In particular, we were able to increase communication with team members with whom we normally have little contact, and we were able to learn about a side of them that we don't see at work. The ingenuity of each competition was wonderful, and everyone felt a sense of unity at the end, with laughter and serious competition. The beautiful scenery of the island was also very relaxing and refreshing!
This is the best plan to enjoy the great outdoors!
Thank you very much!
