All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

This was my second time using the service, following two years ago, and I was fortunate with the weather. It was great to efficiently visit the highlights. I recommend it to those planning to explore unfamiliar remote islands.

2年前に続いて2回目の利用でしたが、天候にも恵まれ、見所を効率良くまわれて良かったです。不慣れな離島巡りを計画している方にお薦めです。

Since there were three of us, my husband and I plus one participant, we took a van instead of a bus, and our driver also served as our guide. While a bus guide's fluent explanations are great, having a tour where we could converse directly in the vehicle made for a very memorable experience. It was interesting to hear detailed information about points of interest and personal stories from our guide.

Perhaps because there were fewer participants, the time spent at each spot felt relatively flexible, which was also nice. We were able to take many wonderful photos, but for some reason, I couldn't upload them here… (I was able to post normally from my smartphone until last year).

One downside was that if you participate in a split tour, like in the afternoon on the first day and in the morning on the second day, it ends up being more expensive than a full-day course. It would have been reasonable to have a lower price for half-day tours since lunch is not included, but I wish they had at least set the total cost to be the same.

On the first day, we joined a tour from the airport to Yakusugi Land, and on the second day, we departed from our accommodation for this tour. After the tour ended, we walked to Mankitsu Shrine and then had lunch and shopping before heading from Miyanoura Port to Ibusuki Port.

Even with a short stay, we were able to sightsee very efficiently!

私達夫婦+お一人参加の方の3名でしたので、バスでなくワゴン車で、運転手さんがガイドも兼ねながら連れていって下さいました。
バスガイドさんによる流暢な説明も良いですが、車中で直接会話しながらのツアーは、大変思い出に残るものでした。こちらの興味のある点について詳しく教えて頂いたり、ご自身のことなど話して下さり面白かったです。
人数が少ないためか、各スポットでの滞在時間が比較的自由な感じなのも良かったです。
素晴らしい写真がたくさん撮れましたが、こちらになぜかアップロードできず…(昨年まではスマホから普通に投稿できたのですが)
残念だったのは、1日目に午後、2日目に午前のように分割して参加すると、1日通しのコースより割高になることです。半日ずつに分けると昼食が付かなくなる分、安くなってもいいくらいですが、せめて合計が同料金で設定してほしかったです。
私達は初日、空港からヤクスギランドに行くツアーに参加して宿まで、2日目は宿からこのツアーに出発し、解散後は徒歩で益救神社に行ったりランチや買い物をした後、宮之浦港から指宿港へ向かいました。
短い滞在でも大変効率的に観光できました！

Since we were driving on narrow mountain roads, it would have been a disaster if someone from the city casually decided to rent a car and go. I noticed the drivers giving directions to oncoming cars while passing each other, and I thought, "Wow, they are true professionals." I believe that with our driving skills, even if we were given instructions, we wouldn't have been able to follow them properly.

The guide also provided detailed explanations without a moment's rest, which was impressive. Additionally, I was really glad that we were able to walk the 50-minute course at Yakusugi Land! I had read that some guides only offer a 30-minute course, so I was worried it would be disappointing if that were the case.

However, at the route junction, the guide asked, "Is the 50-minute course okay for everyone?" but only a few people around seemed to hear it. I felt that it could be problematic if someone at the back found the 50 minutes too challenging.

細い山道を走行するので、都会暮らしの者が気安くレンタカーで行こうなんてしたら大変なことになってました。
すれ違う時に、運転手さんが対向車に指示を出したりしていて、プロだな〜と思いましたし、自分らの運転スキルでは、仮に指示されてもその通りできなかったと思います。　
ガイドさんも、休む間もなく詳しい説明をずっとして下さいました。
また、ヤクスギランドでは50分のコースを歩かせてもらえて、本当に良かったです！ガイドによっては30分コースのこともあると読んで、もしそうだったら残念と思っていたので…
ただ、ルート分岐点での「50分コースで大丈夫ですよね？」というガイドさんからの声がけが、周りの数人にしか聞こえない状況でした。万が一、50分はキツいという方が最後尾の方にいらっしゃったらまずいのでは…とは感じました。

I was very satisfied to see the colorful fish and beautiful corals of the tropical region! The guide's attention to safety was thorough, allowing me to enjoy the tour with peace of mind!

南国のカラフルな魚たちと綺麗なサンゴが見れて大満足でした！ガイドの人の安全配慮も行き届いていて、安心してツアーを過ごせました！

I was so excited to encounter the coconut crab that I had been hoping to see! The guide's explanations were also interesting, and I became a fan of coconut crabs! Haha!

目当てだったヤシガニに出会えて大興奮！ガイドさんの説明も面白くて、ヤシガニファンになってしまいました！笑

The meeting and sightseeing went smoothly. Whenever we had trouble, we were able to consult about various things, and the Alphard was comfortable. My family was also very happy.

待ち合わせも、観光もすんなり行きました。困った時もいろいろ相談に乗ってもらえて、アルファードは快適ですね。家族も大喜びでした。

There was a family visiting Kyoto for the first time. Fortunately, they were able to see both Kinkaku-ji and Ginkaku-ji. It was truly comfortable. Thank you for your help. I would like to ask again.

京都が初めての家族がいました。運良く金閣、銀閣りょうほうがかんこうできました。本当に快適でした。お世話様です。またお願いしたいです。

The female driver and the female guide were great, and the guide's stories were really interesting. It was a very enjoyable tour.

女性ドライバー&女性ガイドさんで、ガイドさんのお話がオモシロかったです。
とても楽しいツアーでした。

I had been curious about this for a long time, and this was my first time riding.

Positive points:
The weather was great, making it comfortable, and the scenery was beautiful.
The guide was very attentive.
Since it was a relatively empty trip, they changed all reserved seats to free seating.

Other:
With the free seating, passengers were able to choose their own seats and spread out happily, but a couple moved to the front seats after the bus departed.
I would have preferred if seat changes during the driving portion of the tour were not allowed (there are safety concerns, and there was no specific warning about this).
After moving, they kept taking selfies, constantly worrying about being in the frame.
It was unfortunate that the bad manners of the couple who moved to the front seats blocked my view, especially since it had been so comfortable before.

I was very pleased with the consideration of having free seating, so it would have been appreciated if there had been an announcement to discourage moving after the tour started.

I think the bus experience was very enjoyable. Thank you.

ずっと気になっていて今回初めて乗車しました。

よかった点
天気に恵まれて快適にすごせ、景色もよかった
ガイドさんも丁寧だった
比較的空いている回だったので、指定席を全席フリーに変更してくださった


その他
フリー席になって乗客も各々好きな座席を確保し、散らばってよろこんでいたものの、バス出発後に、前の席に移動してきたカップルがいた。
ツアーが始まってからの運転走行中の座席移動はやめていただきたかった(そもそも安全面で疑問ですが、特に注意もなかった)
移動後はずっと自撮りをされていて、こちらが画面に映り込むのを終始気にする始末
せっかく快適だったのに途中から移動してきた前席のマナーが悪く、視界が遮られて残念だった

フリー席にしてくださる配慮はとても嬉しかったので、ツアー開始後の移動はやめるようアナウンスをいれていただけるとありがたかったです

バスはとても楽しいものだったと思います。
ありがとうございました。

The time allocation for sightseeing was rushed. There wasn't enough information provided regarding lunch. After having a meal at Oshino Hakkai, there was hardly any time left for sightseeing.

観光する時間配分が慌ただしい。
昼食に関する情報案内が足りなかった。
忍野八海で食事をしたら観光する時間がほとんどなかった。

Since our accommodation was right next to JR Nara Station, we could easily get to the meeting point (bus stop). It was my first time in Nishi no Kyo, and I thought it would be a bit challenging to visit all the sites using public transportation, so I decided to join the tour, and it was definitely the right choice. If you have some sense of geography in Nara from previous visits, it might be different, but if not, I highly recommend this tour.

宿泊先がJR奈良駅のすぐそばでしたので、集合場所（バス停）にもすぐ簡単に行けました。西ノ京は初めてでしたので、公共交通機関を使用して全行程を訪れるのは少々ハードルが高いと思い当該ツアーに参加しましたが、大正解でした。もし初回でなくある程度奈良に地理感覚があれば、別ですが、そうでない場合は、非常に勧めです。

Thank you for your consideration in helping us meet the Jomon Sugi safely. We, in our prime, managed to do our best!

We almost missed the pickup bus, and I apologize for any inconvenience caused. I sincerely apologize.

無事に縄文杉に会えるように配慮してくださってありがとうございます。
妙齢な私たちも頑張れました！

ピックアップのバスには乗り遅れそうになり、ご迷惑をおかけしました。
心からお詫び申し上げます。

The Japanese staff spoke while looking at an English script, but they spoke so softly that it was hard to hear. It felt like listening to a middle school English reading. Even the native speakers seemed to have trouble understanding many parts.

Also, this is due to cultural differences, but I felt stressed when Asian participants next to me burped loudly or cut in line while shopping.

However, it was nice that the tour was held on a weekday.

日本人スタッフの方が英語のカンペを見て話すのですが、ぼそぼそ話すので聞き取りずらかったです。中学校の英語の音読を聞いてるような感じでした。ネイティブも一緒でしたが、聞き取れない部分が多かったみたいです。

あとこれは文化が違うので仕方ないですが、
アジア系の参加者が隣で大きなゲップをしたり、買い物のときぬかしてきたり、そういうのもストレス感じてしまいました。

ただ平日にツアーが開催されるのは良かったです。

I was able to tour the training facilities and truly felt that the safety of aircraft is supported by many people. Additionally, the guide was very accommodating and had a wealth of knowledge, answering various questions accurately.

研修設備を見学出来て、多くの人達によって航空機の安全が支えられているのが実感できました。またガイドの方の対応も非常に良く、且つ知識も豊富でいろいろな質問にも的確に答えられていました。

We had a great afternoon during the canoe tour in the mangroves. The guides were very friendly and knowledgeable, and we learned a lot about the mangrove ecosystem. The excursion was well organized, relaxing, and very enjoyable. We definitely recommend it!

ANA's super popular tour! It fills up quickly, so I made a reservation a month in advance and was really looking forward to it! The content exceeded my expectations. I was especially impressed that I could see the actual training scenes of the cabin crew and pilots from a distance. It was truly amazing and very engaging!

I was moved by the training scenes that I normally wouldn't get to see in everyday life! The tour guide was also an active cabin crew member, and everything about their attitude, movements, and speaking style was perfect!

This tour for 2000 yen is incredibly generous! Laughing aside, the content was more than sufficient! The only tour that left me wanting to repeat it again was this ANA tour! If I have the chance, I will definitely do it again! I love ANA!

ANAの超人気ツアー！すぐ満席になるので、
1ヶ月前から予約し楽しみにしてました！
期待以上の内容、ANAの世界観で特に実際のCAやパイロットの訓練風景も遠くから観ることができまして、いやーすごい見応えがあった！
普段の日常ではお目にできない訓練風景に感動！
引率ナレーターの方も現役のCAの方で、態度や動き、話し方もろもろ全て完璧でした！！
このツアーで2000円は親切すぎ！笑
のわりには内容が十分過ぎる！！
見学ツアーでまたリピートしたいって感動したのはANAのこのツアーだけです！
また機会があればリピートします！！
ANA大好き！

The mangrove tour in Iriomote Island was great, especially with the boatman's stories that were both educational and enjoyable. We also rode a water buffalo cart to Yubu Island 🐂, and it was wonderful when they sang Okinawan folk songs while we were on the cart! On Taketomi Island, we explored on bicycles 🚲, enjoying the beautiful sea, and I had a very fulfilling time. As a side note, an electric bicycle would have been even better 💦. I think first-time visitors will have a fantastic time participating in these activities! 😃

西表島のマングローブ観光（船頭さんのお話が勉強にもなり良かった）、由布島迄水牛車🐂に乗ったり（水牛車に乗ってる時に沖縄民謡？を歌ってくださったのがとても良かった！）竹富島では自転車🚲であちこち回り綺麗な海を見たり、すごく充実した時間を過ごしました。余談ですが、電動自転車なら尚良かった💦
初めて行く方は参加されるとすごく楽しめると思います😃

The roof of the double-decker bus was open, and since it was a sunny day, it felt great. I live in Osaka, but I usually just take the train, so the view of Osaka from the bus looked different from what I'm used to, and it was really nice. I want to ride it again. Thank you to the bus driver and the tour guide!

2階建てバスの天井が開いてるので、晴れの日だったし、気持ち良かったです。
私は、大阪在住なのですが、いつもは電車で通るだけなので、バスから見る大阪の景色はまた、いつもとは違って見えて、とても良かったです。
また、乗りたいと思ってます。
バスの運転手さん、バスガイドさん、ありがとうございました。

I'm glad I could go to various places. The foot bath at Jozankei Onsen was especially nice. I bought a kappa towel there.

色々なところへ行けてよかったです。特に定山渓温泉の足湯が良かったです。河童のタオルをそこで買いました。

I was grateful to the guide throughout the trip. More than seeing the Jomon Sugi, I was moved by the fact that we were able to go and come back safely. Of course, the Jomon Sugi was breathtaking. The explanations were very insightful, and the pacing was just right, so I didn't have any muscle soreness the next day. If I have the opportunity again, I would appreciate your guidance.

終始ガイドさんに感謝でした。
縄文杉を見れたことより、無事に行って戻って来れたことに感動でした。もちろん縄文杉は圧巻でした。
腑に落ちるような解説やペース配分がかなり良く、翌日も筋肉痛になりませんでした。
また機会がありましたらよろしくお願いいたします。

I was moved when I encountered a turtle on the way to Uni Beach by boat. The weather was nice, the blue sea and white sand were beautiful, and the drone footage was captured so well that it was hard to believe I was in Japan. It became a wonderful memory.

ボートでユニの浜に向かう途中に亀と遭遇して感動しました。
お天気も良く青い海と白い砂、ドローンもとても上手に撮って頂いて日本とは思えないほどとっても綺麗で良い思い出になりました。

I was worried about my mother's stamina, but thanks to Hirata-san, we were able to see the Jomon Sugi safely. They were very considerate about the walking pace, breaks, and even the locations of restrooms, which made us feel very secure while walking. Additionally, there were various explanations along the way, making it a memorable experience. Thank you very much.

母の体力がもつか心配していましたが、平田さんのおかげで無事に縄文杉を見ることができました。
歩くペースや休憩、トイレの場所まで細やかに配慮していただき、とても安心して歩くことができました。
また、道中のさまざまな解説もあり、思い出に残る時間になりました。
本当にありがとうございました。

I was anxious about traveling to Kyoto with my elderly parents, but thanks to the thoughtful assistance of our driver, Mr. Kumagai, we were supported for two days. He not only served as our tour guide but also took into consideration my mother's mobility issues, making sure to minimize the walking distance as much as possible.

We were able to have a very fulfilling trip to Kyoto, and I am truly grateful. Thank you very much.

高齢の両親との京都旅行で不安でしてが、ドライバーの熊谷さんのお気遣いに、2日間助けられました。観光ガイドはもちろん、足の悪い母の事を考え、なるべく歩く距離が短くなるようご配慮頂きました。
とても充実した京都旅行を過ごす事が出来、本当に感謝しています。
ありがとうございました。

I've experienced Tokyo sightseeing several times, but seeing Tokyo from the high vantage point of the Sky Bus was something else. The detailed explanations from the guide at key points made it even more enjoyable.

東京観光は何度の経験しているけど、あのスカイバスの高い目線で見る東京は別物でした。またガイドさんの要所要所での詳しい解説があってより一層楽しい一時になりました。

This is my fourth time participating with this company. There were a total of 36 participants, and only two of us were Japanese. We efficiently toured Kamakura, coming from various countries to Japan. The guide planned the route considering the crowds, starting with Komachi Street where we enjoyed some street food, then visiting Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine. Next, we saw the Great Buddha of Kamakura, took a ride on the Enoden train, and got off to take photos 🤳. Finally, we visited a shrine on Enoshima ⛩️ and enjoyed some seafood cuisine before heading to Tokyo Station. It was a great experience!

この会社の参加は4回目です。
全員で36名参加で日本人は私達２名でした。色々な国から日本に来てツアーは鎌倉を効率よく廻ってくれました。
ガイドさんが混む順を考えて最初は小町通りここでは食べ歩きをして鶴岡八幡宮に参拝し、次は鎌倉大仏、江ノ電に乗り途中下車写真撮影🤳最後に江の島で神社⛩️参拝して海鮮料理を堪能して東京駅に向かうという感じで良かったですよ。

The forecast predicted clear skies in the morning. While walking, I started to sweat, and when I took a break, the weather felt refreshing. It felt like water was overflowing from everywhere, nourishing the earth. I saw the stumps of cedar trees cut down by humans, and it was a powerful reminder of nature's ability to regenerate. The view from Taiko Rock was breathtaking. I truly felt the life of Yakushima. Since it was during Golden Week, there were quite a few people, but I was glad I made the trip.

午前中は晴れ予報。歩いていると汗ばみ、休憩するとひんやりする天気でした。至るところから水が溢れ、大地を潤している、そんな感覚でした。人間が切り落とした杉の切り株、そこから再生しようとする自然の力、太鼓岩からの景色も圧巻。屋久島の命を感じました。ゴールデンウィーク中だったので人は多めでしたが足を運んで良かったと思いました。

Since it was my first time visiting Kyushu, I wanted to learn about peace there and decided to make Nagasaki my first travel destination to experience its exotic atmosphere. I was able to efficiently explore the area in one day, and the guide provided clear explanations, allowing me to learn a lot. We were also blessed with good weather, which enabled us to see many beautiful sights.

初めて九州を訪れたので、そこでも平和について学びたかったのと異国情緒を感じられる長崎を最初の旅行先にしようと思いました。1日を効率よく回ることができ、ガイドさんも分かりやすく解説してくれて学ぶことができました。天気にも恵まれていたので素敵な景色をたくさん見ることができました。

Thanks to our guide, Mr. Kiyane, who shared interesting trivia, and our driver, Mr. Maeda, who drove safely and securely, we were able to enjoyably visit various places in a condensed manner. I would like to use this service again on other routes. Thank you very much.

豆知識を教えてくださる添乗員の喜屋武さん、安心安全運転のドライバーの真栄田さんのおふたりのおかげでいろんな場所を凝縮して楽しくまわることができました。また他のルートでも利用したいです。ありがとうございました。

Without local options like these, I would have been wondering where to go! I was very grateful for them! The water buffalo cart and mangrove exploration were great, and the tropical, old-fashioned atmosphere of Taketomi Island was wonderful!

こういう現地オプションがないと、何処行こうか⁉️ってなってしまうので、大変ありがたかったです‼️水牛車やマングローブ探検とか竹富島の南国古風なたたずまい良かったです‼️

Since it was my first time making a reservation online, I was a bit anxious about how it would turn out, but the guide, Kousei, was very good at Japanese and explained everything clearly, making it a lot of fun (*´∀｀*🎶). There were people from various countries, and even though I was in Japan, it felt like I was abroad, which was enjoyable 🙆. I highly recommend it because you can see Mount Fuji from various angles 🗻.

初めてネットで予約したので、どの様になるか不安でしたが、ガイドのkouseiさんは日本語も上手な方で分かりやすくとても楽しかったです(*´∀｀*🎶)
色んな国の方も来ていて、日本に居てますが海外に来てるみたいで楽しかったです🙆
色んな角度の富士山を見れるのでおすすめです🗻
