All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

There was a lot of traffic, and the driver had a tough time, but the tour guide was kind, and it was great with a small group. Of course, the weather was nice, and Mount Fuji was amazing.

渋滞ばかりで、運転手さんは大変やったけど、添乗員さんは親切で、少人数で大変よかったです。もちろん天気が良くて富士山は最高でした。

There are many snow wall tours, but I was looking forward to joining Mr. Otsuka's tour based on the reviews and experiences shared. From the moment I got on the bus, I had a great time learning and experiencing new things, and I'm glad I participated! I would love to join Mr. Otsuka's tour again in another season.

雪の大谷ツアーは沢山ありますが、体験談の評判や内容でせっかく行くならガイドの大塚さんのツアーをと楽しみに参加させて頂きました。
バスに乗った瞬間から楽しくそして学び、体験する事ができて参加して良かったです！
また大塚さんのツアーで他の季節で参加したいです。

I participated in this as a solo traveler. I was anxious since I had no trekking experience, but the members on the day I joined were mostly inexperienced as well, and the guide maintained a slow and steady pace that made it easy to walk. There were five people in my group.

The guide took photos at the main spots and even provided miso soup during lunch (which I think depends on the guide), so they were very attentive and accommodating.

1人旅で参加しました。トレッキング経験がなく不安でしたが、私が参加した日のメンバーはほぼ未経験で、ガイドさんのペースもゆっくり一定で歩きやすかったです。1グループ5名でした。

主要スポットで写真を撮ってくださったりお昼ごはんのときにお味噌汁をくれたり(ガイドさんによると思います)、至れり尽くせりでした。

I had a wonderful time on Iriomote Island and Yubu Island. The mangrove tour was relaxing as we slowly made our way down the river, with the guide explaining various things along the way. It was very soothing to see the mangroves and birds.

The time spent riding a water buffalo to Yubu Island was enjoyable while listening to the sound of the sanshin. It felt extraordinary! On Yubu Island, I was able to touch the water buffalo and take commemorative photos, which was great.

The staff's guidance was smooth, and the reception and the bus driver's (guide's) responses were excellent, allowing me to enjoy the experience from start to finish.

西表島、由布島をとても満喫できました。
マングローブツアーは、ゆっくり川を進みながら、ガイドさんが色々と説明してくれます。 マングローブや鳥などを見ながらとても癒されます。
水牛に乗って由布島へ行く時間は、三線の音色を聴きながら楽しく過ごしました。非日常！ 由布島では、水牛に触ることができて、記念写真も撮れて良かった。

スタッフさんの案内の流れがスムーズで、受付やバス車内の運転手(ガイドさん)の対応が良く、最初から最後まで楽しめた。

We visited Miyako Island during Golden Week with our family of four, including our two daughters. We've been to Miyako Island many times and have done snorkeling at various places, but this time, the sea turtle snorkeling we booked here was the best we've ever experienced! ✨

There were three staff members for just the four of us, which made us feel safe and provided a luxurious experience. ✨ Veteran guide Yamachan was incredibly trustworthy and reassuring, swimming with the kids the whole time, showing us magic tricks underwater, helping us find sea turtles, and sharing interesting stories. He was truly a professional! ✨

Souchan, who is relatively new to Miyako Island, was also very attentive throughout, taking lots of wonderful photos for us, and we were very grateful. ✨ The adorable Manachan worked hard to teach us about the underwater world, which we really appreciated. ✨

During our stay in Miyako Island, we unfortunately faced cloudy skies, rain, and cold weather, which was a bit disheartening, but thanks to the staff, we were able to see beautiful fish underwater and even met sea turtles, which made us very satisfied. ^ ^

The sea turtles waited for us to see them swim up to the surface, allowing us to observe them up close, and our family was thrilled! ✨ We also got to see both the clownfish and the different patterned clownfish! ❣️

In the past, snorkeling was challenging because I had to keep an eye on the kids and couldn't fully enjoy it, but this time, Yamachan was really attentive and assured us, "Leave it to me!" which made us feel at ease. His words, "I'll definitely help if anything happens!" seemed to resonate with the kids, and they were able to swim joyfully and freely throughout the experience.

We want to do more activities with the staff here, so we will definitely come back to Miyako Island next year! Thank you so much! 😊

娘2人含む家族4人でGWに訪れた宮古島。
宮古島には何度も来ているし、シュノーケリングも色々なところでやってきましたが、今回こちらで予約したウミガメシュノーケルが今までで一番最高でした✨
私たち4人に対して、スタッフが3人もいてくれて安心&贅沢な時間✨
ベテランのやまちゃんは、信頼度＆安心感が抜群で、子どもたちと一緒にずーっと泳いでくれて、海の中で手品を見せてくれたりウミガメを見つけてくれたり、おはなしも面白くて、本当にプロ中のプロでした✨
宮古島に来て日の浅いというそうちゃんも、終始丁寧な対応をしてくれて、素敵な写真もたくさん撮ってくれて、感謝感激✨
可愛いまなちゃんも、海の中のことを一生懸命教えてくれてとても好感が持てました✨
宮古島滞在中、あいにくの曇天＆雨、そして寒い日で落ち込んでいましたが、お陰さまで海の中は綺麗に魚も見れましたし、ウミガメにも会えて大満足でした^ ^
ウミガメは泳いで水面にあがってくるまで待たせてくれたので、間近で見ることができて家族で大興奮✨
隠れクマノミも柄違いのクマノミも見ることができました❣️
今までのシュノーケルは、子どもの面倒を見たり目を離せなかったりで親はゆっくり堪能できなかったけど、今回はやまちゃんが本当に付きっきりで「任せてください！」と言ってくれたので安心できました。
「何かあったら絶対助けるからね！」の言葉が子どもたちにも響いたようで、終始楽しく伸び伸びと泳げたそうです。
ここのスタッフの方とまたアクティビティをしたいので、必ず来年も宮古島に来ます❗️
本当にありがとうございました😊

You can visit many tourist spots in one day. Looking back, the selection of places to visit was appropriate. It's a busy tour, but I think the cost performance is particularly excellent. I am satisfied.

There were spots I wanted to explore more thoroughly, but that's unavoidable given the number of places we visited.

Also, I was pleased with the friendly assistance and appropriate guidance from our tour conductor, Mr. Yanagyu. Thank you for your hard work! ♪

一日で多くの観光スポットを回われます。後で振り返ると、訪問先の選定も適切でした。忙しいツアーですが、コストパフォーマンスは特に優れていると思います。満足しています。
じっくり見たいスポットもありましたが、これは訪問個所数との兼ね合いで、致し方ないです。
そして、添乗員の柳生さんのフレンドリーな対応と適切な案内も嬉しかったかったです。お疲れ様でした♪

Smooth access, I was able to do everything I wanted to do✨
On top of that, I was able to GET the things I wanted.
With various guidance and support, I was able to take wonderful photos.
What a fantastic trip to Okinawa✈️
I am very satisfied. Thank you very much.

スムーズなアクセス、やりたいことが全部できました✨
その上、欲しい物までGETできました。
色々教えて頂きながら帯同もして頂いて素敵な写真も撮れました。
なんて素敵な沖縄旅行✈️
大満足です。ありがとうございました。

I usually don't have any mountain climbing experience, so I was worried, but I was able to participate enjoyably! The guide shared interesting trivia about the Yakusugi trees along the way, which I found fascinating!

普段、登山経験がなくて心配でしたが
楽しく参加できました！
ガイドさんが途中途中で、屋久杉の雑学などをお話ししていただいて興味深かったです！

I went to Uni Beach on the first flight of the day. I was worried that the strong winds would affect the drone, but the sun came out, and I was able to capture some wonderful memories in videos and photos! I'm really glad it was sunny. I also inquired in advance about the best time to visit. I would love to come back when my family grows!

朝一の便でユニの浜に行きました。
強風でドローンが飛ぶか心配でしたが、太陽も出てきてとても素敵な思い出に残る動画や写真を撮っていただきました！晴れて本当によかったです。事前にいつ訪れるのがおすすめか、問い合わせもしました。
また家族が増えたら訪れたいです。

I think it would have been perfect if the weather had been nice. The tour guide and the driver were also very kind, and I had a great time. Thank you very much.

天気が良ければ最高だったとおもいます。
添乗員さん、ドライバーさんもとても親切で楽しめました。ありがとうございました。

On my first trip to Ishigaki Island, I participated in a tour because my second-grade son loves living creatures, and I wanted to see the coconut crab as well.

The tour location was far from the city, in a place that truly felt like a jungle, where you would never have the chance to enter without a tour guide.

It was enjoyable to see various creatures along the way and hear detailed explanations, but above all, the sense of security that came from being with a guide who knows the jungle inside and out was wonderful. This is definitely an experience you can’t have without going on a tour, so I highly recommend it to anyone who is considering it.

I would love to join the tour again the next time I visit Ishigaki Island.

石垣島への初旅行で、小2の息子が生き物好きで自分もヤシガニを見てみたかったので参加した。

ツアーの場所は市街地から遠く離れた、まさにジャングルというような場所で、ツアーガイドさんと一緒じゃないと絶対に立ち入る機会がないような場所だった。

道中色んな生き物が見れて詳しい解説が聞けるのも楽しいですし、なによりジャングルを知り尽くしているガイドさんと一緒という安心感が素晴らしかった。これは間違いなくツアーに行かないと体験できないので、悩んでいる人には是非おすすめしたい。

次に石垣島に行く時もまた参加したい。

The veteran guide created a very pleasant atmosphere. Horyu-ji has impressive exhibits, but if you spend too much time at the beginning, you'll rush through the second half. Be careful. The monk's talk at Yakushi-ji was interesting, but if you listen closely, you won't have enough time for the visit. Be careful.

ベテランガイドさんでとても良い雰囲気でした。
法隆寺は展示物が見応えありですが、最初から時間をかけすぎと、後半駆け足になります。ご用心あれ。
薬師寺のお坊さんの話しは面白かったですが、じっくり聞くと拝観時間が足りなくなります。ご用心あれ。

I used this to go from Osaka Station to Temmabashi. The double-decker bus had a great view, and we were blessed with good weather, which made my mother happy as well. The guide's Osaka dialect was also nice. I got off partway, but I was satisfied. Thank you very much!!

大阪駅から天満橋方面に行くのに利用しました。高さのある2階建バスで見晴らしもよく、天気にも恵まれ、母も喜んでました。
ガイドさんの大阪弁も良かったです。
途中下車しましたが、満足です。
ありがとうございましたー！！

I participated with two elementary school students (4th grade and 1st grade). The round-trip bus from the port made it convenient. Even though it was during Golden Week, we were able to ride the water buffalo cart with almost no wait. There wasn't enough time to explore everything, but it was nice to be able to return without too much stress, especially with kids.

小学生2人(4年、1年)と参加しました。港からのバスも往復ついていて、楽でした。GWでしたが、水牛車にもほぼ待たずに乗れました。あれもこれも散策するには時間が足りませんが、子連れならあまり無理せず帰れて良かったです。

The driver was great!
The guide was great!
The tour content was fulfilling and satisfying, everything was great!
It was a fun time learning about Japanese culture.

運転手さんよし！
ガイドさんよし！
ツアー内容の充実度、満足度、全部よし！
日本文化を学べる楽しい時間でした。

Thanks to the guide's entertaining stories and the driver's professional driving, which remained steady even in thick fog, I had a very meaningful time. Thank you!

ガイドさんの楽しいお話と濃霧の中でも揺るぎないドライバーさんのプロフェッショナルな運転のおかげでとても有意義な時間でした。ありがとうございました！

I went on an island-hopping tour from Ishigaki Island. The route included Iriomote Island, Yubu Island, and Taketomi Island.

On Iriomote Island, I was amazed by the mangroves we saw from the boat. After that, we crossed to Yubu Island by water buffalo cart and enjoyed lunch before visiting the botanical garden. Going further in, the gelato at Yubu Island Tea House on Manta Beach was fantastic!

On the way back, we rode the water buffalo cart again to return to Iriomote Island, where we took a boat to Taketomi Island.

In Taketomi Island, we enjoyed a village tour while being rocked by the water buffalo cart. It was a full-day tour, and that relaxed atmosphere is definitely worth repeating!

石垣島発離島巡りに行ってきました。
西表島〜由布島〜竹富島のルート。
西表島では船でマングローブを見学して圧巻され、水牛車で由布島に渡って昼食後に植物園見学。奥に行ってマンタビーチにある由布島茶屋のジェラートも最高！
帰りはまた水牛車に揺られながら西表島に戻って船に乗り竹富島へ。
竹富島では水牛車に揺られながら村内観光。
ほぼ1日がかりのツアーでした。
あのゆったり感はリピート必須です。

On Iriomote Island, we took a mangrove tour by boat. It was fascinating. We crossed to Yubu Island on a water buffalo, and there were various types of water buffalo, which was enjoyable. On Taketomi Island, we could explore the town by bicycle, which was also fun. But the best experience was definitely riding the water buffalo.

西表島ではマングローブツアーを船でします。興味深かったです。由布島へ水牛でわたるのですが、いろいろなタイプの水牛がいて楽しかったです。竹富島は自転車で町を回れて楽しかったです。やっぱり一番は水牛に乗る体験でした。

On May 3rd, I participated with my family of three. It was a bus tour where I was impressed by the vast knowledge of our guide, Sunakawa. The explanations were easy to understand, and both the songs and the sanshin performance were wonderful. We experienced the mysteries of nature in the limestone cave, and on the glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay (additional fee), we were able to see sea turtles, schools of grouper, and colorful tropical fish.

5/3に家族3人で参加。
ガイドの砂川さんの知識量の多さに感服しながらのバスツアーでした。
説明も分かりやすく、歌も三線も素晴らしいものでした。
鍾乳洞で自然の神秘に触れ、川平湾のグラスボート（別途料金）ではウミガメやグルクンの群れ、カラフルな熱帯魚達をみることが出来ました。

Perhaps due to the lack of snow, the height of the snow wall was only 11 meters, which is half the height compared to the past record, leaving me feeling somewhat unsatisfied. While others were able to spot them, I couldn't find any ptarmigans.

雪が少なかったせいか
雪の壁の高さが１１メートルと過去最高と比べて半分の高さで物足りなさを感じました。他の方は見つけていましたが、私は雷鳥も見つけられませんでした。

The water buffalo was very smart, and sometimes luck comes your way! Listening to the sanshin while being blown by the wind, swaying in the ox cart on the way to Yufu Island! It was the best, thank you, water buffalo!

水牛さんは大変お利口でした、運がつく事もあります！風に吹かれながら三線を聴き、牛車に揺られ由布島へ向かう！最高でした、ありがとう水牛さん！

Although the sky was unfortunately cloudy and there was a bit of rain, I had a very enjoyable time. The experience of swaying on a water buffalo cart while crossing to Yufushima became a wonderful memory. Next time, I would like to go again on a sunny day!

あいにくの曇り空と、少し雨もパラつきましたが、とても楽しく過ごせました。水牛車でゆらゆら揺られ由布島に渡った経験はよい思い出になりました。今度は晴れた日にまた行ってみたいです！！

We participated with two adults and one child (an infant). I was worried about whether it would be suitable for a baby, but I received confirmation that it was possible to participate, and it turned out to be a great decision. We were blessed with good weather, and the staff were friendly and very kind, making it enjoyable from start to finish. The boat was safe, and the duration of the stay was just right—not too long and not too short—making it perfect for families with infants. I believe this plan is enjoyable not only for adults but also highly recommended for those with children.

大人2名と子ども（0歳児）の3名で参加いたしました。
赤ちゃんでも参加できるか不安でしたが、参加可能とご回答いただき参加いたしましたが大正解でした。
天候にも恵まれ、スタッフの方も気さくで大変親切にしていただき、最初から最後まで楽しく参加できました。
ボートも安全で、滞在時間も長すぎず短すぎず、赤ちゃん連れにもちょうどよく、十分楽しめるプランだと思います。
大人だけでなく、子連れにもおすすめいたします。

The trekking at Shiratani Unsuikyo the day before was very good, but due to my usual lack of exercise and the rental shoes not fitting quite right on my right foot, my right big toe turned a grayish color. While I could still walk, there was some pain, so I decided to wear my usual athletic shoes and opted for a 50-minute boardwalk course plus about 5 minutes of rocky terrain. Since I was the only participant in the group, I was grateful for the flexibility. Although it was a shortened course, I was able to enjoy it thoroughly. I really felt like I was experiencing "Bura Tamori." I learned a lot from the various information shared and had a great time. The guide was also good at mimicking bird calls, and I was able to watch birds flying nearby in a heartwarming way. At the ancient cedar trees, I used my iPhone's panorama feature to capture both the people and the cedars in one shot, which helped me appreciate their size. I thought the moss-covered forest here might even be better than the one in Shiratani Unsuikyo. The 80-minute and 150-minute courses involve walking on rocky terrain from a certain point, which I had to forgo this time, but I want to challenge the 150-minute course when I visit Yakushima again next time. The tour cost was nearly double that of Shiratani Unsuikyo, but I believe it was worth it.

前日の白谷雲水峡トレッキングはとても良かったのですが、日ごろの運動不足とレンタルシューズが右足だけ少し合わなかったのか、右足の親指の爪が鼠色一色となり歩けはするが少し痛みもあったことで、いつもの運動靴を履いたうえで５０分の板張りコース＋5分ほどの岩場コースにしていただきました。参加が当方の１組だったこともあり融通を利かせてもらえて助かりました。短縮コースではありましたが十二分に楽しむことができました。本当に「ぶらタモリ」の気分を味わえました。いろいろ教えていただき勉強になりましたし楽しかったです。ガイドさんの鳥の鳴き声の真似も上手で、鳥が近くを飛び回るのをほのぼのとみることができました。紀元杉のところでは、アイフォンのパノラマ機能を使って人も杉も１枚で写真に納めていただき杉の大きさを実感できました。コケ蒸した森も、白谷雲水峡谷の苔むす森よりこちらのほうが良いかもと思いました。80分コース、150分コースでは途中から岩場を歩くことになるようで今回は断念しましたが次回屋久島に訪れたときは今度こそは150分コースにチャレンジしたいと思っています。ツアー代は白谷雲水峡の倍近くしましたが、それだけの価値あるツアーだと思いました。

The staff provided detailed explanations about the duties of each position and the various training areas. The female staff member actively checked to see if there was anything I didn't understand.

スタッフは各ポジションの仕事内容やそれぞれの訓練エリアについて詳しく説明してくれました。女性スタッフは私がわからないところがないか積極的に気にかけてくれました。

The water buffalo cart to Yubu Island was really great. I was also healed by the driver's (guide's) sanshin performance. The mangrove tour, bus, and ferry, and the stories from each guide were enjoyable too!

由布島への水牛車はすごく良かったです。
運転手（ガイド）さんの三線演奏にも癒されました。
マングローブ遊覧、バス、フェリー、それぞれのガイドさんの話も楽しかったです！

It was an efficient tour, but unfortunately, the lift at Okurayama Jump Stadium was not operating due to strong winds. I felt like we had a bit of extra time. At Hitsujigaoka, I thought we didn't have enough time to visit because we had to wait in line to take photos in front of the Clark statue. The bus guide was kind and left a good impression.

効率のいいツアーでしたが、大倉山ジャンプ競技場のリフトが強風で動かず残念でした。少し時間を持て余した感があります。羊ケ丘は、クラーク像前で写真を撮るのに、並ぶため見学の時間が足りないと思いました。バス
ガイドさんは、親切で好感が持てました。

The guide was from China, and they were friendly and approachable, making for a very enjoyable time. I would like to use this service again.

ガイドさんが中国の方でしたが、フレンドリーで親しみ深く、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。また利用したいと思います。

Every year, our family of four would travel together, but this year, we visited with just three of us due to my father's passing. We brought a photo of my father and took a family tour. We visited the places we went to when he was healthy.

毎年家族四人で旅行してましたが、今年父親が永眠の為、3人で訪れました。
父親の写真を持って家族全員のツアーです。父親が元気な時に行った場所を巡りました。

Although there were only a few Japanese participants, we were arranged to be close together, which made it easy to participate comfortably. Our tour guide, Mr. Yanagyu, was friendly and skillfully switched between Japanese and Chinese while providing a thorough guide. His attention to detail, such as recommending places for photos and food, was impressive. The driver was also pleasant and drove safely, allowing us to feel secure throughout the trip. We were able to efficiently visit the sightseeing spots, and I believe this tour is highly recommended for those visiting Hokkaido for the first time.

日本人の参加者は少数ではありましたが、近くにまとまるよう配慮されており、安心して参加できました。添乗員の柳生さんは気さくで、日本語と中国語を使い分けながら丁寧にガイドしてくださり、写真撮影や食べ物のおすすめなど細やかな気配りが印象的でした。運転手さんも感じが良く、安全運転で終始安心して過ごせました。観光地も効率よく回ることができ、初めて北海道を訪れる方にもおすすめできるツアーだと思います。
