You can fully enjoy the best of Okinawa with the sound of the sanshin, beautiful seas, mangroves, red bricks, and shisa! You can see water buffalo up close, and on Taketomi Island, you can experience the traditional atmosphere of Okinawa.三線の音、綺麗な海、マングローブ、赤レンガ、シーサーなど最高のザ沖縄を満喫できます！
間近に水牛を見れたり、竹富島では昔ながらの沖縄の雰囲気を楽しめます。

I chose a free plan only for Taketomi Island during my three-island tour. However, this free plan for Taketomi Island turned out to be quite unmanageable. It was too hot to walk, cycling was impossible, there was no shade in the village, and I felt like I was in a maze with the same buildings. I finally reached a café, but getting back to the bus stop was also a maze. Even with proper heatstroke prevention measures, the hot summer was tough.

I finally reached a café, but getting back to the bus stop was also a maze. Even with proper heatstroke prevention measures, the hot summer was tough. The bus driver was unfriendly as well, so if you're planning to go in the middle of summer, I recommend an all-inclusive plan with a guide for the entire itinerary. This plan includes bus transportation for the whole journey, and the guide will assist you. If I hadn't chosen the free plan, it would have been perfect. ３島巡りで、竹富島だけフリープランにしました。ところがこの竹富島のフリープランは、何もできなかったです。暑すぎて歩けない、自転車も無理、集落には日陰がなく、同じ建物で迷路状態。やっとカフェに辿り着くが、バス停に戻ろうにも迷路。暑い夏は熱中症対策をしっかりしててもキツイ。巡回バスの運転手さんが不親切だったのもあり、真夏に行かれるのであれば、全行程ガイドさんの案内があるおまかせプランがおすすめです。全行程バスの送迎付き、ガイドさんが案内してくださいます。フリープランにしなけれは、最高でした。

The mangroves were a bit disappointing as they coincided with high tide, but I enjoyed the original scenery of the Okinawan islands with the water buffalo and the streets of Taketomi Island. Also, renting a bicycle is a must on Taketomi Island.マングローブは満潮と重なったのでイマイチでしたが、水牛や竹富島の街並みでは沖縄離島の原風景が楽しめました。また竹富島ではレンタルサイクル必須です。

The long-awaited Yufushima Water Buffalo Tour.

I'm really glad I was able to experience crossing to Yufu Island by water buffalo before the super typhoon arrived. It felt like seeing Japan's original scenery, and the person guiding the water buffalo played the sanshin, creating a relaxed atmosphere that truly moved me. Even though it was a tour of three islands, we were able to get around efficiently. I'm happy I could fully enjoy it. The Sakishima Islands are the best!スーパー台風が来る前に、経験してみたかった水牛で由布島へ渡ることができてとても良かったです。日本の原風景を見た感じで、水牛を操る方が三線を弾きながらゆったりとした時間を演出されて、本当に感動しました。3島巡りといってもツアーなので効率よく周ることができました。満喫できてよかった。先島諸島最高ー！

The weather was nice, and the water buffalo was very clever, so it was fun to hear various stories. I didn't have much time on Yubu Island, and while I was having lunch, I couldn't explore everything at a leisurely pace, so I wish I had a bit more time.お天気も良く水牛の頭がよく、いろいろなお話が聞けて楽しかったです
由布島は少し時間がなく、お昼を食べたりしていると全てゆっくりとは回り切れなかったのでもう少し時間が欲しかったなと思います

Since I needed a cane, I opted for a bus tour plan on Taketomi Island. The guide's service was outstanding. They helped us search for star sand, took photos for us, allowed us to visit a home with a shisa holding a fish, and shared stories about childhood life on Taketomi Island, which made me fall in love with the place. Next time, I plan to spend more time leisurely on Taketomi Island.

The guide on Iriomote Island also shared interesting stories during the bus ride, and the mangrove tour guide provided clear explanations, which helped me learn a lot. When crossing between Iriomote Island and Yufu Island on the water buffalo cart, the guide talked about the buffalo's personality and played the sanshin, creating a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. The sanshin song "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" resonated with me as we returned to Iriomote Island.

The lunch we had on Yufu Island, "karasoba," was very delicious, and I bought some sauce and Yaeyama soba to take home. It was a wonderful tour. 杖が必要な私でしたので、竹富島ではバス観光プランにしました。
とてもガイドさんの応対が素晴らしかったです。
星の砂を探してくれたり、写真を撮ってくれたり、魚をくわえたシーサーのご自宅を見学させてくださったり、竹富島の子供の頃の生活などの話を聞かせてくださったりと、竹富島が大好きになりました。
次回は竹富島をゆっくりと過ごしに行きます。

I chose a bus tour course. The bus stopped at several locations, and the driver sometimes accompanied us. At the beach with star sand, while I was looking for star sand, the driver found a small piece of star sand and gave it to me, which made me super excited!私はバス観光コースを選びました。何ヶ所かバスを停めて　ドライバーさんが時々同行してくれたり　星の砂の浜では、星の砂ないかなぁと探してると　小さい星の砂を見つけてくれて　私にくれたので　超感激！でした。

It was amazing. On Iriomote Island, I was able to relax and feel the slow passage of time on the island. The mysteries of the mangrove nature, the water buffalo cart crossing the sea, the Orion beer I drank during lunch on Yubu Island, the tropical botanical garden, and the bus rides with a friendly driver guide—all of these became wonderful memories.最高でした。西表島では、のんびり、ゆったり、島に流れる時間を感じることができました。マングローブ自然の神秘、海をわたる水牛車、由布島の昼食で飲んだオリオンビール、熱帯植物園、親切な運転手のガイド付バス移動、どれもいい思い出となりました。

There was also a shuttle back to the port, making for a meaningful day visiting three islands from early in the morning 😁. It was great 👍! 6月初旬に訪れました🏝️ 西表島の観光バス🚌のガイドさんのトークが面白かったです。

It was a very well-thought-out schedule. I was able to visit three islands, and I gained a good understanding of the geographical relationships in the Yaeyama Islands. The guide's explanations were also educational. The performance of the sanshin on the water buffalo cart was great. The lunch exceeded my expectations, and I got to enjoy various Okinawan dishes. Although it was cloudy with light rain seasonally, I was satisfied. Thank you.とてもよく考えられたスケジューリングです。3つの島に行け、八重山諸島の地理的な位置関係が良くわかりました。

The three-island tour was very good. I was impressed by the water buffalo cart I rode for the first time. At Yufu Island, I spent too much time taking photos and eating, so I was disappointed that I couldn't explore the island much. I chose the free walk plan for Taketomi Island, but the limited number of buses made the schedule tight.3島巡りとても良かったです。

Exploring Mishima while riding on a ferry, bus, sightseeing boat, and ox cart was a delightful experience. The lunch was delicious, and I was able to enjoy the wonderful spots in Mishima✨ The drivers (and the person guiding the oxen?) were entertaining, making the time enjoyable! Thank you, Yumemi-chan, Kojiro-kun, Kaiji-kun, and Rui-kun. I also learned that the water buffalo have distinct personalities and are all quite different!フェリー・バス・観光船・牛車に乗りながら三島巡り。お昼ごはんもおいしく三島のいいとこ巡りができました✨運転手の皆さんも（牛を誘導する人？）話が面白く楽しく過ごせました！ゆめみちゃん　こじろうくん　カイジくん　ルイくん　ありがとう。　水牛も個性豊かでいろいろ違うことがわかりました!
