This was my first visit to Miyako Island and I chose this tour.
It was a mystical place that I had never visited before in my life, and I was very impressed.
I would like to join other tours when I come to Miyako Island again!

We joined the tour on our honeymoon. The Blue Cave was as blue and impressive as its name. The Pumpkin Cave was also too pumpkin as the name suggests. It was an experience that will definitely make us want to travel back, not only for the power of nature, but also for the kindness of the guides.

I was attracted by the names Sapphire Cave and Pumpkin, so I joined the tour. Both are power spots, and I was able to enjoy them while listening to the historical background from the guide. I would like to come back again.

I joined the tour when I came to Miyako Island for a trip.
I enjoyed the luxury of being able to take a tour of famous tourist attractions in one day. I was especially satisfied with the Blue Cave, where I was able to swim with an unprecedented amount of fish. I would like to participate again.

ご飯屋さんで勧められたパンプキンホールに行きたく参加しましたが、写真で見るより実物で見ることをお勧めします。
写真だけでは、なんかすごいなくらいで思っていましたが、実際に行ってみたらあれだけお勧めされた理由がわかりました。
絶景という言葉が相応しいのかわかりませんが、絶景です。
