Mr. Roy showed us around!
They did their best to find the crabs and take pictures to make the participants happy, and it was a great memory for me! We were very happy to see the coconut crabs we were looking for, and we were also very satisfied with the detailed information about the history and culture of Miyako Island, as well as the recommended restaurants in the area!
Thank you Roy😊.

We took a sunset kayak and jungle tour.
The weather was unfavorable at Sunset, but I thoroughly enjoyed kayaking.
At night the weather recovered a little and we were happy to see the starry sky through the clouds.
I will use it again when I come to Miyako Island.
