The bus interior was hot, but it was fun!

I participated in the middle day of the three-day weekend in July.

First, before getting on the bus, I received some souvenir somen noodles.

It was extremely hot that day, and the bus's air conditioning wasn't working very well, making the interior quite warm. However, the beer I had after getting off the bus was incredibly refreshing.

We had lunch at Kankakei, but there was only one shop, and it took quite a while to buy the meal tickets and receive the food. I wasn't very hungry since I had eaten… I participated in the middle day of the three-day weekend in July.

We had lunch at Kankakei, but there was only one shop, and it took quite a while to buy the meal tickets and receive the food. I wasn't very hungry since I had eaten udon on the ferry, but I thought, "If I don't eat here, I won't have time for lunch," so I forced myself to eat. However, I later realized that at the Twenty-Four Eyes Movie Village, they seemed to have a lunch set available, so I wished I had eaten there instead.

After leaving the Twenty-Four Eyes Movie Village, the guide read a passage from "Twenty-Four Eyes." I didn't know anything about the work, but it resonated deeply with me, and I almost cried.

At Olive Park, there was a line for the brooms available for rent. Also, a man who happened to be at the park took some photos for us and even shared tips on how to look good while flying with the broom. Thanks to him, we were able to take some really great pictures!

It was also great that the guide introduced us to popular souvenirs. I ended up buying almost everything that was recommended. Thanks to the suggestions, I was very satisfied with my shopping experience. 7月の三連休の中日に参加しました。

まず、バスに乗る前にお土産のおそうめんをいただきました。

当日は非常に暑く、バスのエアコンがあまり効いておらず車内はかなり暑かったです。その分、バスを降りた後に飲んだビールは最高においしかったです。

二十四の瞳映画村を出た後、ガイドさんが『二十四の瞳』の一節を朗読してくださりました。作品を全く知らなかったのですが、とても心に響き、思わず涙が出そうになりました。

オリーブ公園では貸し出し用のほうきは待ち列ができていました。
また、たまたま公園にいたおじさんが写真を撮ってくれて、ほうきで上手に飛んで見えるコツまで教えていただきました。そのおかげで、とてもいい写真を撮ることができました！

ガイドさんが今人気のお土産を紹介してくださったのもとても良かったです。
紹介されたお土産はほとんど購入してしまいました。
おすすめを教えていただけたおかげで、買い物も大満足でした。

On this trip to the Seto Inland Sea, it was a dream to ride on a sightseeing bus, and the weather was clear and perfect. Staying for two nights on Shodoshima and having a nearby accommodation was the best part.今回の瀬戸内海旅行で夢だった観光バスに乗車と天気は快晴で良かったです。小豆島に２泊出来た事と近くに宿があった事が最高でした。

I was able to efficiently visit the main tourist attractions.

I was struggling to figure out how to explore Shodoshima without driving when I found this tour. It allowed us to efficiently visit the main tourist spots while almost circling the island, giving us the chance to see various regions. Since the itinerary was packed, the time at each location was limited, and I particularly wished I could have spent a bit more time at Kankakei, but overall, this type of tour generally offered a good amount of free time, and I enjoyed it thoroughly.

My motivation for visiting Shodoshima was Sakae Tsuboi's "Twenty-Four Eyes," so I really wished the tour could have included the real Cape Bunkyo, which is very close to the movie village. The movie village is just a set after all. However, the Tsuboi Sakae Literary Museum located within the movie village was excellent.

I was also very grateful that I was dropped off right in front of the Shodoshima International Hotel where I was staying. 車を運転しないため、小豆島観光をどのようにしようか、頭を悩ませていたときに見つけたのがこちらのツアーでした。主な観光地を効率よく回りながら島をほぼ一周できるので、様々な地域を見ることができました。盛りだくさんな分、それぞれの観光地の時間が限られていて、特に寒霞渓にはもう少し居たかったと思いましたが、この手のツアーとしては概して自由時間が多く、十分楽しめました。

宿泊先の小豆島国際ホテル前で降ろしていただけたのも、大変助かりました。

The sightseeing time was just right. I think there were moments when I wanted to see a bit more, but I felt that every place was just perfect. I was also grateful that we could get off at the accommodation. The guide's stories were enjoyable as well. Thank you very much.観光の時間が丁度良かったです。よくもう少し見たかったなぁとかあると思うのですが、どの場所も丁度良かったと思いました。

I don't think the Kannon statue at the first spot (perhaps a substitute for the monkey facility that might be closed) is necessary. I believe it's better for individuals to visit places related to faith on their own.

Instead, it would have been better to visit unique places in Shodoshima, like the Soy Sauce Village or the Somen Museum.

The guide's explanations were very good, and thank you to the driver for the smooth driving.最初のスポットの観音像（もしかしたら休園中の猿の施設の代替）は要らないんじゃないでしょうか。信仰が絡む場所は個人で寄られた方がよいと思います。
その分、醤の郷やそうめん館など、小豆島ならではの場所に行くことができたらもっとよかったです。
ガイドさんの案内はとてもよかったです。ドライバーさんも滑らかな運転ありがとうございました。

It was a very fulfilling day.

The guide's instructions were clear, and the driver's driving was reassuring. We visited various places in Shodoshima, and it was wonderful. In the end, we walked down Angel Road and saw all the spots we wanted to see. Thank you!一日とても充実でした。

ガイドさんの案内をはっきりし、運転手さんの運転も安心し、小豆島のいろいろなところを回って、素晴らしかったです。

I had a sudden thought and signed up at the last minute, but I really enjoyed it! At first, I considered renting a car to get around, but since there are many narrow roads on the island, I thought it might take a long time to cover all the courses and distances, even if someone from outside the island could drive. As a result, participating in this bus tour allowed me to make effective use of my time. Thank you very much! Next time, I want to join with my friends!ふと思い立ち、ギリギリでの申し込みでしたが、とても楽しめました^ ^最初はレンタカーを借りて回ろうとも思っていましたが、島内は道も狭いところも多く、島外の方も運転はできるとは思いますが、これだけのコースや距離を回るとなると時間がかかるかな、とも思いました！結果、このバスツアー参加で、時間を有効に使うことができました。ありがとうございました。今度は友達と参加したいと思います！

The Great Kannon of Shodoshima and Kankakei were not necessary. The Great Kannon was too religious for my taste. I was disappointed that I couldn't have a proper lunch at Kankakei. There was a restaurant inside the Twenty-Four Eyes Movie Village, which would have been better. It was a shame that I passed by local shops I wanted to visit.小豆島大観音、寒霞渓は　無くてもよかった。
大観音は宗教色が強過ぎて好みではなかった。
寒霞渓で昼食らしいものは食べられずガッカリでした。二十四瞳映画村の中にレストランがあったので、そちらが良かった。
他に寄ってみたい地元産の店舗は素通りだったのは残念でした。

I was able to visit the main tourist spots on the island by bus, which made it easy and enjoyable. The bus guide's stories were interesting, and at the end, they even sang a song, which really got everyone excited.バスで島のメインな観光スポットを回れたので、楽に楽しめました。またバスガイドさんの話が面白く、最後は歌も歌ってくださり、とても盛り上がりました。
