All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

I'm glad I was able to visit various places starting from Dazaifu, then to Yufuin, and finally to the Kamado Hell in Beppu. Yufuin has so many shops that I almost got lost, so having a map would be really helpful. At Kamado Hell, there were quite a few tourists, so I couldn't enjoy the foot bath. However, it was fun to interact with a foreigner who didn't know how to open a Ramune bottle. The tour guide was amazing! I was surprised by how they explained everything in multiple languages. The driver also engaged with us, and their combination was great, making it a really wonderful tour.

太宰府から始まって湯布院、別府のかまど地獄へと色々行けて良かったです。湯布院ではたくさんお店があって道にも迷いそうだったのでマップがあると有難いですね。かまど地獄ではかなり観光客が多く足湯は無理でした。でもラムネの開け方のわからない外国人と交流したり楽しかったです。添乗員さんが凄い！何ヶ国語も駆使して説明して頂けてビックリしました。運転手さんも何かと声を掛けてくれたり、２人のコンビネーションも良く、凄く良いツアーでした。

A wonderful day even if the weather was bad the first hours of walking (rain). The misty forest, the big old and mysterious trees and the little world of the moss are so beautiful and well preserved! We were two with the guide (who speaks English contrary of what is written on the website). Read that some people had problems with the guide but he has done the job seriously. Yes he walks quickly sometimes, but we have no choice: we need to go down for the last bus. The problem is the bus schedule (which should pass one hour later), definitely not the guide! So he knows exactly what he's doing, we walked quite well and we finally arrived 10 minutes before the bus departure! If you feel that you are not in condition to walk quickly in hard mountain road (the last kilometers) it's better to give up this activity, and please don't try it without a guide during winter because we saw a few irresponsible guys underestimating the dangers of nature (no crampons on icy path, no warm clothes, walking late...)! Personally, I like this kind of guide who looks severe at the beginning, but little by little you discover that he just ask you to do what you need to do. He is kind too: giving some of his hot miso soup for lunch, taking lots of beautiful photos for you (because I must say it's hard to take photos by yourself, no time to fool around), giving very useful crampons for walking in the snow (two minutes to put it on your shoes), talking with you... Finally it was an amazing natural and human experience!

I was able to see scenery that I can't experience in Tokyo and its surrounding areas from inside the bus, making it an amazing plan.

僕が住んでいる東京及びその周辺の地域でも味わえないような景色をバスの車内から見る事が出来て、凄い良い計画になりました。

I traveled with my elderly mother and my elementary school-aged child. We were tired from walking around sightseeing, so it was nice to rest our feet while getting information from the announcements inside the vehicle, which made our sightseeing experience comfortable. The places we visited on foot offered a fresh perspective from a higher viewpoint, and the new locations we saw will be helpful for our next visit!

高齢の母と、小学生の子どもとの3人で利用。観光で歩き疲れていたので、足を休めながら、車内アナウンスで情報が得られ、快適に観光できました。歩いて訪れた場所は目線が高く新鮮に、初めて見る場所は次回の参考になりました！

Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy, but I was comforted by the guide's humorous storytelling and the water buffalo (Apar-kun). It was so relaxing!

あいにく、天候は曇りでしたが、ガイドのユーモアたっぷりの語りと水牛(アーパー君)に癒されました。まったり！

It was a winter snorkeling experience, but since I was wearing a wetsuit, I hardly felt the cold and was able to enjoy it comfortably. Unfortunately, we couldn't go to the Blue Cave due to the weather conditions, but our guide, Sugimori, explained the situation thoroughly each time and I felt that safety was given ample consideration. He made sure to check on each participant as we progressed, which allowed me to feel secure during the experience.

冬のシュノーケリング体験でしたが、ウエットスーツを着用していたため寒さはほとんど感じず、快適に楽しむことができました。天候の影響で青の洞窟には行くことができず残念でしたが、その都度ガイドの杉森さんが状況を丁寧に説明してくださり、安全面にも十分配慮されていると感じました。参加者一人ひとりの様子を確認しながら進めてくださったため、安心して体験することができました。

A luxurious trip visiting three islands in one day. It was a solo journey, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The driver on Iriomote Island was the best! The guiding while driving was absolutely wonderful! I was also able to rent a bicycle on Taketomi Island that day, so I spent my time efficiently. The lunch that included a meal was delicious as well.

1日で3島巡り。贅沢な旅でした。ひとり旅でしたが、大変満喫できました。
西表島のパスドライバーさん、最高！運転しながらのガイドが素晴らしすぎた！
竹富島でも当日自転車が借りられたので、時間を無駄なく過ごせました。
お昼つきのランチも美味しかったです。

A 3-night, 4-day solo trip to the Yaeyama Islands.

On the final day, the bus tour around Ishigaki Island allowed me to thoroughly enjoy all the famous spots I wanted to visit, thanks to the high-level guidance from the driver and bus guide. The sun also made an appearance at the beach, so I got to see the stunning Ishigaki Blue 🩵, which was amazing.

When I visit again, I definitely want to recommend this tour to my acquaintances as well.

3泊4日の八重山ひとり旅。
最終日の石垣島バスツアーは、思うところすべての名所めぐりと、ドライバーとバスガイドのハイレベルの案内で、存分に満喫できました。
海では，太陽も顔を出してくれたので，石垣ブルー🩵も見れてサイコーでした。
また訪れるときはもちろん、知り合いにもオススメしたいツアーとなりました。

In some places, the parking lot is far away, and we can't be late for the meeting time, so the time written is even shorter. However, since we couldn't drive around ourselves, it was a very helpful tour.

場所によっては駐車場が遠く、集合時間に遅れてもいけないしで、書いてある時間より更に短くなります。ただ自分達では運転してまわれなかったので、ありがたいツアーでした。

I was able to see many Steller's sea eagles and white-tailed eagles. Thanks to the high-performance binoculars I was lent, I was able to see their beautiful forms very clearly. Additionally, I also encountered deer and foxes, and I thoroughly enjoyed the drifting ice and the sunset. The explanations and guidance were flexible, and although it was only half a day, I had a very fulfilling time.

オオワシとオジロワシにたくさん会うことができました。
高性能の双眼鏡を貸していただけたことで、とても美しい姿を見ることができました。
また、その他にシカやキツネにも会うことができたうえに、流氷や夕日も十分に堪能させていただきました。
説明や案内も臨機応変にしてくださり、半日でしたがとても充実した時間を過ごすことができました。

It was a place I wanted to visit in the northern part of Okinawa Island, which is not often included in tours. The day was fulfilling with sightseeing, following the schedule without any troubles. The tour guide's explanations were accurate and easy to understand, which made me feel at ease.

The sashimi lunch at Kunigami Port Shokudo was very delicious. Since it’s a popular restaurant, there were many customers waiting for it to open, but I was able to eat as soon as it opened.

I wished I had a little more time at Asumui, but it couldn't be helped due to the schedule. It’s quite far to go individually, so this day trip tour was greatly appreciated. I highly recommend it.

ツアーでは行くことの少ない沖縄島北部、行ってみたかった場所でした。
予定通りの時程で、トラブルもなく充実した観光の一日でした。添乗員さんの説明も的確でわかりやすく、安心できるものでした。
国頭港食堂のお刺身ランチはとてもおいしかったです。人気の店だけに開店待ちのお客さんの多い中、開店と同時に食事ができました。
アスムイではもう少し時間が欲しかったですが、日程上仕方ないですね。
個人で行くには遠いので、日帰りのこのツアーはありがたかったです。お勧めです。

I was able to visit the famous spots in Nara efficiently without rushing. I think it's difficult to cover everything in one day on your own. The bus guide and the driver were very accommodating, and their explanations were detailed, so I highly recommend it! There were also about 5 or 6 solo travelers!

効率よくでも急ぐことなく奈良の名所を回れました。
個人で1日で回るのは難しいと思います。
バスガイドさんや運転手さんの対応がとてもよく、案内も詳しいのでおすすめです！
おひとりさまも5.6名いらっしゃいました！

I visited Shirakawa-go for the first time. In the afternoon, I leisurely explored the streets lined with gassho-zukuri houses, and at night, I was able to enjoy the illuminated snowy landscape from the observation deck, captivated by its enchanting beauty.

Drinking sweet sake on such a cold day was an exceptional experience. The weather was also favorable that day, and the transportation was smooth, which was truly wonderful. I am sincerely grateful to the tour guide for providing detailed instructions. Thank you very much!

初めて白川郷を訪れました。午後は合掌造りの街並みをのびのびと散策し、夜には展望台からライトアップされた雪景色を眺めることができ、その幻想的な美しさに心を奪われました。

このような寒い日に飲む甘酒は、格別な体験でした。当日は天候にも恵まれ、交通もスムーズで本当に良かったです。添乗員さんも細かく注意事項を伝えてくださり、心から感謝しています。ありがとうございました！

I was already at maximum fatigue from participating in Pipi's tour during the day, but I was grateful that Kokoro-chan and Koma-chan frequently checked on my condition, asking if I could still walk and if I was okay.

It seems that during winter, you don't encounter many creatures, which was a bit disappointing, but I was still happy to find a frog.

The jungle was more intense than I expected, and when I was told right at the start, "Okay, let's go in here," I thought, "Huh? Here?" However, I quickly got used to it, and it was fun searching for creatures with a light in one hand.

日中もpipiさんのツアーに参加していたので疲労MAXでしたが、こころちゃんとこまちゃんのお二人が、まだ歩けますか？大丈夫ですか？と私の状態をこまめに確認しながら進めてくださりありがたかったです。
冬場は生き物にあまり遭遇できないらしく、ちょっと残念ではありましたが、カエルを見つけただけでも嬉しかったです。
思ってたよりガチジャングルで、スタート直後｢じゃあここを入っていきます｣って言われたときは｢え？ここ？｣と思いましたが、すぐに慣れ、ライト片手に生き物を探すのは楽しかったです。

Experience of going to find the Steller's Sea Eagle and the White-tailed Eagle
I thought it would be hard to find them, but surprisingly, they were flying around, which was a pleasant surprise.
I was able to confirm their differences with binoculars while being taught how to distinguish between them.

オオワシ、オジロワシを見つけに行く体験
なかなか見つからないのかと思ってたけど意外にも飛んでいてびっくり
それぞれの見分け方を教えてもらいながら双眼鏡で確認することができました

The guide was a friendly person and taught us a lot of interesting facts about mangroves. It was all new information for me, and I learned a lot. I was concerned about the cold weather in January, but on the day of the tour, the weather was great, and the breeze in the mangroves was gentle, making it very pleasant.

ガイドのお兄さんが気さくな方で
マングローブの豆知識をたくさん教えてくれました
初めて聞く知識ばかりでとても勉強になりました
1月で寒さや天気を懸念していましたが
当日はとても天気もよく、マングローブの中は風も緩やかで
とても心地よかったです

After leaving my parents' house and starting a job, I saved up money to take my mother to Okinawa, where we used a sightseeing taxi service.

First of all, I want to thank our driver, Yoshimura-san, for his very polite and kind service! Traveling with Yoshimura-san in the sightseeing taxi while chatting was truly enjoyable, and the 8 hours flew by in no time. He took us to all the places my mother wanted to visit, and when I mentioned that we wanted to eat "soki soba" for lunch, Yoshimura-san recommended a popular restaurant in Okinawa. It turned out to be a trip that exceeded all our expectations.

On a personal note, when I lived at home, my chronic illness was severe, and I never thought I would be able to "live independently and work." I never imagined I would be able to have such a happy trip with my beloved mother.

When I decided to leave home, I had a dream: to fulfill my mother's long-held wish to visit Okinawa. My mother's dream became my dream, and not only was I able to achieve it, but it also became a precious memory thanks to the wonderful people of Okinawa.

Yoshimura-san, thank you so much for taking us to all the places we wanted to go on this important trip and for helping us create one of our treasured memories! I am truly grateful from the bottom of my heart.

実家をでて仕事を始めて貯めたお金で、母親と沖縄に行き、今回観光タクシーを利用させていただきました。
まずは運転手の吉村さん、とても丁寧で親切なご対応本当にありがとうございました！
観光タクシーで吉村さんとお話しながら旅ができて、本当に楽しくて8時間があっという間でした。
行きたい！と母が言っていた所全てに連れて行ってくださり、お昼も「ソーキそばが食べたい」と伝えたら吉村さんが沖縄の人気店を教えてくださり、全てが大満足の旅行になりました。
私事ですが実家にいた頃は持病が酷く、まず「自立して働ける」なんて考えられませんでした。こんな幸せな旅が、大好きな母と出来るなんて思ってもいませんでした。
それから実家を出ると決めたとき、ある夢ができて、それが「母がずっと伝えてくれている、沖縄に行ってみたいという夢を叶えること」でした。
母の夢が私の夢になって、それを叶えられた上に、素敵な沖縄の皆様によって最高で一生忘れない大切な思い出となりました。
吉村さん、今回は大切な旅で行きたい所全てに連れて行ってくださり、大切な思い出の1つを作らせてくださり本当にありがとうございました！
心より感謝申し上げます。

This time, I was taken care of by Matt-chan on the tour. During the car ride, I was able to hear various stories about the history and nature of Iriomote Island, which deepened my understanding and allowed me to enjoy the sightseeing even more.

In the morning, we went to Yubu Island. We traveled back and forth by water buffalo. I learned that water buffalo hardly sweat, so there was no animal smell at all. They were smart, gentle, and incredibly cute. They were even cuter than I expected, and I ended up buying a lot of water buffalo merchandise at the souvenir shop on Yubu Island.

For lunch, we ate at a restaurant recommended by Matt-chan, and in the afternoon, we enjoyed a mangrove canoe experience. They took tour photos with the mangroves in the background. The canoe did get my backside wet, but I was able to take a shower at the end. Since it was winter, the water was a bit cold, but as long as I wore a long-sleeved shirt, I didn't feel cold even with the wind blowing. Surrounded by the wide river and mangroves, I felt the pleasant breeze and negative ions, fully enjoying the great outdoors. It was the best!

今回、担当のまっちゃんさんにツアーでお世話になりました。車の移動中には西表島の歴史や自然についてのお話をいろいろ聞けて、理解が深まりより西表島観光を楽しむことがでしました。

午前は由布島へ。水牛で往復しました。水牛は汗をほぼかかないそうで、全く獣臭がなくて賢くて穏やかでとっても可愛かったです。
思っていたより可愛すぎて、由布島のお土産屋さんで沢山水牛グッズを買ってしてしまいました。

お昼には、まっちゃんさんおすすめのご飯屋さんで昼食をとり、午後からはマングローブカヌーを楽しみました。
マングローブを背景にツアー写真を撮ってくださいました。カヌーはお尻がぬれますが、最後にシャワーを浴びれました。冬なので少し水は冷たいですが、長袖を1枚着ていれば風が吹いても寒くなかったです。
マングローブに囲まれた広い川の真ん中で心地よい風やマイナスイオンを感じ、大自然を満喫できました。最高でした。

For one person or a few, the cost performance is definitely good. I was originally interested in both the Dinosaur Museum and the Echizen Great Buddha, and I found them to be really great when I actually visited. I can recommend them to everyone.

1人〜数名であれば絶対にコストパフォーマンスが良いです。
恐竜博物館と越前大仏、ともに元々興味はありましたが、実際に行ってもとても良かった。皆様にお勧めできます。

I participated in early January. I was really glad to join the tour because I was quite anxious about driving on snowy roads. The duration of the tour was just right. It's definitely more cost-effective than arranging it myself! If I have the opportunity to visit again, I will definitely want to participate.

1月上旬に参加しました。
雪道の運転は不安が大きいので、ツアーに参加して本当に良かったと思いました。
所要時間もちょうど良いくらいです。
絶対に自己手配よりコスパが良い！
次回も不快に訪れることがあれば必ず参加したいと思います。

You can efficiently visit places like Yufuin Island, which are difficult to access on your own, without wasting time. I did a preliminary visit on this tour and then spent a relaxing day on Taketomi Island the next day.

自力では行きにくい由布島なども無駄なく非常に効率よく廻れます。このツアーで下見をして、翌日竹富島でゆっくり一日過ごしました。

I was able to experience the extraordinary by riding a water buffalo cart and seeing the mangroves that can only be found on Iriomote Island. I had a relaxing and enjoyable time.

水牛車に乗ったり、西表島でしか見られないマングローブを見たり、非日常が体験出来ました。
ゆっくりのんびり、楽しくすごせました。

I stayed in Ishigaki Island for three days, but the weather wasn't very favorable (mostly cloudy with some light rain), and the only sunny day was during the tour on January 24th. Even during the tour, there were quite a few clouds, and it was a mix of sunny and cloudy; just when I thought the sun was shining, it would quickly hide again. Still, I was glad to see the beautiful blue sea of Ishigaki Island.

The Tamatorizaki Observatory has a short stay time, so it's better to hurry.

The tour guide was very skilled at playing the sanshin and singing, and they even taught us how to whistle with our fingers; they were truly talented. I learned a lot from their stories about the classical folk songs and traditions of the Yaeyama Islands. They shared many interesting tales about Ishigaki Island.

The driver also slowed down at key points to show us the scenery, making it a great tour. Especially on a nice weather day, the sea must be stunning.

石垣島に3日間滞在しましたがあまり天候に恵まれず（ほぼ曇りで小雨有り）、晴れたのははツアーの日1月24日だけでした。
ツアーの最中もかなり雲が多く晴れたり曇ったりで、日が差した！と思ったらまたすぐ隠れるという感じでした。
それでもなんとか石垣島のブルーの海が見れて良かったです。
玉取崎展望台は滞在時間が短いので、急いだ方が良いです。

添乗員さんは三線や歌がとてもお上手で、指笛を教えてくださったり本当に芸達者でした。
八重山の古典民謡、伝承などのお話も大変勉強になりました。
石垣島の面白い話をたくさんしてくれます。

運転手さんも要所要所で徐行して景色を見せてくださり、良いツアーだと思います。
特に良い天気の日は海がきれいで最高でしょう。

I had always wanted to visit Shodoshima. When I saw the plan by Mr. Berudora, I had another commitment, but I decided to extend my stay by one night and participate in the Shodoshima tour. The driver and guide for the Shodoshima sightseeing were very kind, and I am grateful for how well they took care of us. However, I was worried that I might get lost between the ferry and the reception, so I took an earlier ferry. It turned out to be a good decision, but I still got quite lost and had to ask people for directions to finally arrive.

小豆島には一度どうしても行きたかったのです。こんなは時ベルドラさんの企画を見て別件の予定もあり、一泊増やして小豆島巡り煮参加させて頂きました。小豆島観光の運転手さんもガイドさんもとても親切で、我々のお相手も上手にして頂き、感謝しています。ただ、フェリー降りてから受付までに私は迷ってしまいそうで、フェリーの時期を一便早くして行きましたがそれで良い随分と迷ってあちこちで人にお聞きしてたどり着きました。

A one-year-old calf was happily playing with the water buffalo. A young elementary school boy got stuck in the mangroves. The lunch buffet was enjoyed by the older kids, but it might be a good idea to bring something for the little ones aged 0-3.

水牛に一才の末の子が喜んでいました。
小学生の男の子にマングローブ刺さります。
お昼ご飯のバイキングは上の子たちは食べでしたが、小さい0-3歳くらいの子は何か持参した方がいいかもです。

My first trip to Ishigaki Island, and I arrived at the airport just before noon. Since hotel check-in is at 3 PM, I wondered what I should do after arriving. While casually searching on VELTRA, I found this tour.

The meeting time was at 2:30 PM. It included a shuttle service, a ride on a water buffalo cart, and free time for exploration. The return ferry from Taketomi Island was at 5 PM. When you think of Ishigaki Island, you think of water buffalo carts. The timing was just right, so I made a reservation four days before departure.

From the airport, I took a leisurely bus to the meeting point at the ferry terminal. At the tour desk, I showed my voucher and received my boarding ticket, and they provided detailed guidance on the meeting place, a photo of the boat I would be taking, and how to return.

Before the departure time of the ferry, I was able to have lunch and browse for souvenirs. The shuttle service from Taketomi Island was smooth, and I quickly boarded the water buffalo cart.

The ride on the water buffalo cart was incredibly relaxing. The blue sky, red flowers, white sand, and the gentle eyes of the water buffalo all brought me peace. I'm really glad I went.

初めての石垣島旅行、空港到着はお昼前。ホテルチェックインは15時だし、着いたら何しようかな?と何気なくVELTRAで検索したところ、今回のツアーを見つけました。
集合は14時半。送迎付きで水牛車に乗って、自由散策。竹富島からの帰りの船は17時。
石垣島といえば水牛車。時間もちょうどいい感じ。出発の4日前に予約しました。
空港からはのんびり路線バスで集合場所のフェリーターミナルへ。ツアーデスクでバウチャーを見せて乗船券を受け取ると、集合場所、乗る船の写真、帰る方法など、丁寧に案内がありました。
行きの船の出発時間まで、ランチを食べたり、お土産を見たりできました。
竹富島到着からの送迎もスムーズで、早速水牛車に乗り込みます。
水牛車はとってものんびり。青い空、赤い花、白い砂、水牛のつぶらな瞳、全てに癒されました。本当に行って良かったです。

Recently, when sightseeing, I prefer to use a sightseeing taxi instead of a rental car. There are various factors to consider, such as securing parking, road conditions, and hidden tourist spots, but I am very satisfied. The driver listened to our requests, guided us to famous landmarks, and shared interesting stories about those places, all without being pushy or self-centered, allowing us to have an enjoyable time. I am grateful for the recommendation of a good sightseeing taxi.

最近観光する時レンタカーより観光タクシーを利用します。
駐車場の確保、道路事情、隠れた観光箇所様々な事がありますがとても満足しています。私達の要望を聞き入れてくれ、名所の案内、その場所の面白い話、だけど押し付けや運転手さんの独りよがりはなく楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。良い観光タクシーを紹介していただいたと感謝しています。

Everything is arranged for you, so it's easy. It's a great tour for first-timers. The premium seats on the boat are an additional 500 yen, but since the seats are completely different, it would be fine to use them if the regular seats are crowded.

すべて段取りしていただけるので楽です。初めての方には良いツアーです。
船のプレミアムシートは＋500円ですが、シートがぜんぜん違うので普通席が混みあっている場合は利用しても良いでしょう。

Although the weather was a bit uncertain at the end of the year, it became my best memory! While gently swaying with the cows, I truly felt that I had arrived in Ishigaki, accompanied by the sounds of the sanshin.

年末のお天気微妙ななかの参加でしたが、一番良い思い出になりました!ゆっくりと牛さんに揺られながら三線の音色とであー石垣に来たなと実感

I want to see the beautiful Mount Fuji. I would like to go to the 5th station of Mount Fuji. I want to take pictures of Mount Fuji from Oshino Hakkai. There are often photos of the five-story pagoda and Mount Fuji, and I want to see what that place is like and take pictures there too. The photos from Hikawa Clock Shop are also famous. I wanted to see that as well. I enjoyed all of these experiences. The guide and the driver were very kind, and it felt great.

きれいな富士山を見たい。富士山5合目まで行ってみたい。忍野八海からの富士山の写真が撮りたい。よく五重の塔と富士山の写真がありますがどんなところなのか見てみたいし写真も撮ってみたい。日川時計店からの写真も有名ですね。そこも見てみたかったです。これら全部楽しめました。ガイドの人も運転手さんもとても親切で気持ちよかったです。
