I was so moved by the island’s abundant nature the last time I visited Kohama Island, so this time I decided to join a night tour. After sunset, the quiet island takes on a completely different atmosphere from daytime, and you can hear the sounds of rare creatures right beside you. Thanks to the guide’s detailed explanations, I was able to gain a deep understanding of the island rather than just observing it. I also appreciated that I could participate without having to bring anything.
