The author took into account all the remarks of my first review including those requiring extra work.
I would just suggest to revise Figure 5 which looks as a simple screenshot of Audacity with all buttons around... Not very easy to read.
The research by Peck et al. is valuable as it investigates the use of low-cost technologies to provide rapid and key indications about the ecological status of coral reef ecosystems, whose study and conservation is of major importance nowadays. Moreover, I much appreciate the fact that the use of such technologies enables to archive material that can be re-analysed. I also consider very interesting the anecdotal evidence collected from local ecological knowledge about the use of snapping shrimps sounds as indicators of good fishing grounds (Lines 381-383).
Please find a few comments to improve the clarity of the paper.
Dear authors,
I now received the comments of 2 referees about your paper, listed below. Both reviewers think that the paper could make a good contribution to PeerJ but both have a number of comments that need to be addressed. So I decided that I cannot accept your paper in the present state, but I encourage you to submit a revised version in which you take into account all the comments of the reviewers, paying particular attention at integrating the methods, as both reviewers highlight the lack of some important details. Moreover, an integration of the comparison with the available literature would help to put your work in the right context. Please carefully read and follow the PeerJ Resubmission Checklist for preparing your resubmission.
[# PeerJ Staff Note: Please ensure that all review comments are addressed in a rebuttal letter and any edits or clarifications mentioned in the letter are also inserted into the revised manuscript where appropriate. It is a common mistake to address reviewer questions in the rebuttal letter but not in the revised manuscript. If a reviewer raised a question then your readers will probably have the same question so you should ensure that the manuscript can stand alone without the rebuttal letter. Directions on how to prepare a rebuttal letter can be found at: -rebuttal-letters/ #]

Located in the northwest of Hyogo Prefecture, bordering Tottori Prefecture, Shin-onsen faces the Sea of Japan to the north and is surrounded by mountains towering over 1,000 meters in the inland area, offering a bounty of natural beauty. True to its name, the town is a haven of hot spring resorts, including Hamasaka Onsen, Shichikama Onsen, and Yumura Onsen.
Nestled in lush surroundings, this park offers animal encounters. Explore the Tajima-ushi Museum to delve into the legacy of Tajima Cattle, renowned as the origin of Kobe beef, a must-visit for food enthusiasts.
A steamy oasis awaits, inviting visitors to boil fresh ingredients in its hot springs. Developed by Buddhist monk Jikaku Daishi 1,200 years ago, Arayu boasts water at 98C, flowing at 470 liters per minute, enveloping guests in a dreamlike atmosphere.
Step into a world of immersive sound at this unique destination. Shin-onsen (formerly Hamasaka) has prospered as a major needle production center. In 1966, a company began manufacturing record needles, leveraging this local expertise, and opened a reservation-only experiential open factory for listening to records in 2023.
Visitors are escorted to three rooms, each equipped with different audio systems for appreciating records. While enjoying a lunch made with local seasonal ingredients, visitors can experience powerful sounds and deep-layered acoustics.
Particularly noteworthy is the local shrimp caught using low trawl fishing. Due to its limited catch and perishable nature, most of it is not available in other markets. During the short fishing seasons of April-May and September-October, seafood enthusiasts from all over Japan flock here to get their hands on this local delicacy.
With a drop of approximately 10 meters, natural light filters through the cracks in the rocks overhead, while the sound of water echoes within the cave. The mystical ambiance, experienced through sight and sound, makes one forget the fatigue of the journey along the mountain trail. The breathtaking view created by nature captivates the heart to the extent that one wishes to linger in awe.
