Abundant Course

沖縄はじめてさん
The course was packed with activities throughout the day, and it was fulfilling. However, the 50-minute stay at American Village felt too short, which was disappointing.1日盛り沢山のコースで、充実してました。ただ、アメリカンビレッジ50分の滞在時間は少なく、残念でした。

I was looking forward to American Village, but my stay was short, and I only got to experience the atmosphere.

The most concerning point was that the tour guide (who was Korean) rushed off to the destination as soon as we got off the bus, making it difficult to ask any questions. I could barely keep up with them, which was quite frustrating.

Since I had participated in a tour with another bus company the day before, I could really feel the difference in service. There was a lack of hospitality.

The travel time on the bus was long, so I would have appreciated a bit more sightseeing information. アメリカンビレッジを楽しみにしていたので、滞在時間が短くて雰囲気だけ味わった。
一番気になる点は、添乗員の方（韓国人）がバスから降りたら一目散に目的地に早足で向かい（質問など出来ない状態）付いていくのがやっとで、とても困った。
前日ほかのバス会社のツアーに参加したので、サービスの差を感じた。
おもてなしの心がなかった。
移動バス時間も長かったので、少し観光案内が欲しかった。

I was able to visit Kouri Island without using a car or rental car.

At the Tropical Dream Center, the ticket I submitted at the reception had the previous day's date, so they checked it for me, and I was able to enter safely and enjoy the exhibits at my leisure.

American Village was beautiful with Christmas illuminations, and I wished I could have stayed longer.車やレンタカーを利用せずに古宇利島に行けました。

熱帯ドリームセンターは受付に提出したチケットが
前日の日付になっていたので確認していただき
無事、入場できてゆっくりと鑑賞できました。

アメリカンビレッジはクリスマスのイルミネーションで綺麗で

In late March this year, I participated in a trip with Celcyan Blue, but due to bad weather, I decided to make a comeback this November. I was so happy to reunite with our tour guide, Kim, which made the experience even more exciting.

I heard that this week will be the last before Kim returns to Korea... This feeling of sadness and disappointment will someday turn into wonderful memories, and isn't that one of the true pleasures of traveling?

I support Kim in her endeavors in Korea. Thank you, Do… In late March this year, I participated in a trip with Celcyan Blue, but due to bad weather, I decided to make a comeback this November. I was so happy to reunite with our tour guide, Kim, which made the experience even more exciting.

Although the rain dampened our sightseeing mood all day, we ended on a high note by witnessing my first sunset at American Village, which lifted my spirits as we arrived at our accommodation. Thank you very much.一日中、雨で観光気分も下げ下げでしたが、最後に立ち寄ったアメリカンビレッジで人生初の夕焼け、サンセットを観られて気分あげあげになり宿に着きました。

There were about three groups of Japanese participants and fifteen groups of foreigners. Thanks to everyone sticking to the schedule, the tour proceeded mostly as planned, even though our return was slightly delayed due to traffic.

When I come to Okinawa again, I will try a different course. Thank you very much. 参加者は日本人3組と外国の方15組ほど。
皆さん時間を守って行動していたおかげで、渋滞で多少帰着が遅れたものの、おおむね予定通りツアーが進みました。

ガイドのキムさんは日本語が不慣れとおっしゃっていましたが、何の問題もなく観光地の簡単な説明や流れの説明などされていました。
効率よく色々な名所に行けて、良いツアーだったと思います。

また沖縄に来た際は、別のコースに参加してみます。
ありがとうございました。

It's disappointing to see the poor manners of foreigners.

It was very convenient to go to the places I wanted by bus. I don't want to say too much, but it was very disappointing to see the poor manners of some Chinese tourists (talking on the phone inside the bus, eating and drinking, reclining their seats without saying anything, not keeping to the meeting time, not listening to the guide, etc.). This was the worst experience I've had among many bus tours I've participated in. The guide was very kind and tried to handle various situations, but it was … It was very convenient to go to the places I wanted by bus.

This was the worst experience I've had among many bus tours I've participated in. The guide was very kind and tried to handle various situations, but it was unfortunate for them. It would have been nice if there were charging options for mobile phones on the bus. 行きたいところをバスで行けるのでとても楽でした。あまり言いたくはないけど、中国人の方のマナーの悪さ（社内での通話、飲食、椅子の背もたれも何も言わず倒す、集合時間を守らない、ガイドのいうことを聞かないなど）がとても残念でした。今まで多くのバスツアーに参加しましたが、一番ひどかったです。ガイドさんはいろいろと対応してくれて親切でしたが、かわいそうだった。社内で携帯の充電でできるとよかった。

One-Day Enjoyment Tour

The Ocean Expo Park was especially wonderful! The Tropical Tropical Center had many large greenhouses filled with tropical plants! I didn't go into the aquarium, but I was able to see the sea turtle pool and manatees outside. At Manza Beach, the wind was strong, and my sunglasses even flew away, but it was very beautiful. The American Village had authentic tacos that were great. I was able to see a lot in one day, and it wasn't too hectic, so I was very satisfied.海洋博公園は特に素晴らしかった！熱帯トロピカルセンターもいくつもの大きな温室にトロピカルな植物がたくさん！！水族館には入りませんでしたが外の海亀のプールやマナティーも見ることができました。万座毛では風が強く、サングラスも飛ばされてしまいましたがとても美しい。アメリカンビレッジでは本格的なタコスが良かった。
1日でたくさんみて回ることができ、忙しなくもなく、とても満足でした。

Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium and the History of the Okinawa War

At the Ocean Expo, everyone except me went to the aquarium, but since I wasn't interested in fish, I went alone to the tropical botanical garden. The orchids were very beautiful and reminded me a lot of the botanical gardens in Singapore. Along the way, I participated in a 30-minute guided tour at Ryukyu Village, where I learned about the life in Ryukyu at that time.

Manza Beach was a place where, before the defeat in the war, Okinawa's residents were cornered and threw themselves in, and I joined the tour to confirm that. Okinawa has many traces of the sacrifices made by the nation, and I felt the tragic reality of how not only soldiers but also civilians were caught up in the war, as well as the happiness of living freely and normally now. 海洋博では私以外の方は皆さま水族館に行かれましたが，魚に興味がない私は，一人熱帯植物園に行きました。蘭の花がとてもきれいでした。シンガポールの植物園とよく似ていました。途中，琉球村で30分ガイドに参加して，当時の琉球の生活を勉強しました。万座毛は敗戦前，沖縄の県民が追い詰められ身を投げた地であり，それを確認したくて参加しました。沖縄には国の犠牲になった痕跡がたくさん残っており，当時，軍人はもとより文民達が戦争に巻き込まれた悲惨さ，自分が今不自由なく当たり前に生きていることの幸福を感じ入りました。

At the same course:
1. Churaumi Aquarium
2. Tropical Dream Center
Some parts of the visit were separated.
I've been to Churaumi Aquarium many times, so this time I chose the Tropical Dream Center.
There were few people, allowing for a relaxed meal and visit. There were quite a few rare plants...同じコースで
①美ら海水族館
②熱帯ドリームセンター
一部見学が分かれていました
美ら海水族館は何度も行ったので、今回は熱帯ドリームセンターを選びました
人もまばらでゆったり食事と見学が出来ました。かなり珍しい植物も⋯
