All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

I found a tour that goes to Shiratani Unsuikyo for just half a day, starting in the afternoon, since my flight arrived in Yakushima before noon! Most tours start early in the morning, but this one began at noon and the trekking itself took just a little over three hours. I was able to return in the evening. I had a Jomon Sugi tour scheduled for the next day, so it was a great way to warm up my legs.

昼前に屋久島に着く飛行機だったので、午後開始で半日だけで白谷雲水峡に行けるツアーを探していて見つけました！
朝早いツアーが多いですが、昼スタートでトレッキング自体は3時間ちょっと。夕方には帰ってこれました。
翌日に縄文杉ツアーを入れていたので、いい足慣らしができました。

On the second day of my 2-night, 3-day trip to Kanazawa, I participated in a Shirakawa-go bus tour. The guide, Mr. Kuroda, provided very clear explanations, and everything he recommended, from delicious coffee to great photography spots, was spot on. Among his recommendations, the "Nama Doburoku" from Kondo Shoten was particularly delicious. There are both dry and sweet options, and if you enjoy alcohol, I recommend the dry one. The driver was also friendly, and I had a wonderful time.

2泊３日の金沢旅行の２日目に白川郷バスツアーに参加しました。添乗員さんの黒田さんの説明がとても分かりやすく、美味しいコーヒーや、お薦めの撮影スポットなど、どれもハズレなしでした。オススメしてくれた中でも今藤商店の「生どぶろく」がとても美味しかったです。辛口と甘口がありお酒好きなら辛口がオススメです。ドライバーさんも親しみ易く、楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。

I was able to see 7 sea turtles!
Since there were fewer participants on a weekday, I felt like I got a good deal!
I was also good at taking photos!
Thank you for the many great pictures!

They also taught us about marine life besides the sea turtles.

Valuables can be kept in the guide's car.
Shinjō Beach has changing rooms with showers.
I recommend going by car!

ウミガメ7匹見れました！
平日の参加で参加者が少なかったので得した気分でした！
写真も撮るのうまかったです！
いい写真たくさんありがとうございます！

ウミガメ以外にも海の生物について教えてくれました。

貴重品などはガイドさんの車で預かってもらう形です。
新城海岸はシャワー付きの更衣室あります。
車で行くのがおすすめです！

The tour guide provided great recommendations for how to explore shrines and temples, as well as photo spots, making the experience very smooth! The easy-to-understand map was also a big help. With many international visitors, we were able to stick to the schedule and make good use of our free time.

神社やお寺のおすすめの周り方や写真スポットをツアーのガイドさんが教えてくださりとてもスムーズに周ることができました！わかりやすいマップも大活躍でした。
海外からのお客さんも多い中、時間厳守で動けて自由時間を使うことができました。

Through this tour, I was able to see various jobs at the airport.

I got to touch my favorite airplanes and had a great time.

このツアーを通じて、空港の様々な仕事が見えて来ました。

大好きな飛行機に触れて、楽しい時間を過ごせました。

The tour guide was knowledgeable about the island's unique wildlife, and we were able to see frogs, the largest spider in Japan, a natural monument shell, a bagworm, and the coconut crab we were hoping to see. It was a very enjoyable night tour for animal lovers! Thank you for the valuable experience.

ツアーのガイドさんが、島固有の生物に詳しく、カエルや日本最大の蜘蛛、天然記念物の巻貝、ミノムシ、目的だったヤシガニにも会えて、生き物好きには、とても楽しい夜のツアーとなりました！
貴重な体験ありがとうございます

It was a long 10-hour journey, and I had to be mindful of things like early morning starts and restroom breaks along the way. However, for those who regularly hike or trek, the path was mostly gentle with wooden planks laid out, and the pace of the trek itself was slow. As a result, there was almost no damage during or after the hike, making it an enjoyable trekking experience. Thank you very much.

10時間という長丁場で、早朝からの始動と道中のトイレなどは気をつかいますが、それ以外は日頃、登山やトレッキングをしている人であれば木を敷き詰めた優しい道中がほとんどであり、またトレッキング自体のペースもゆっくりなので、登山中や登山後もダメージがほぼない楽しいトレッキングでした。
ありがとうございました。

Unfortunately, I participated in the tour in the rain. The itinerary included a mangrove tour in Iriomote Island, a bus tour around Iriomote Island, crossing to Yubu Island by water buffalo cart, and free time and lunch on Yubu Island. Although we couldn't see the beautiful ocean due to the rain, I was still able to enjoy the extraordinary scenery and environment. Personally, the water buffalo cart was the most impressive and charming part. Additionally, on Yubu Island, I was able to touch the water buffalo and take pictures. Overall, even though it was rainy, I felt that it was good to participate in this tour because, in Ishigaki, activities are limited when it rains.

あいにくの雨の中でのツアー参加となりました。コースとしては、西表島でのマングローブツアー→西表島のバス観光→由布島に水牛車で渡る→由布島でフリータイム&昼食というコースでした。雨だったので、綺麗な海などは残念ながら見れなかったのですが、非日常の景色や環境はそれなりに楽しめました。個人的には水牛車が一番印象的で風情があります。また、由布島では水牛に触れたり、写真を撮ったりすることができました。総じて、雨ではあったものの、逆に石垣では雨でやることは限られるので、雨だったからこそこのツアーに参加してよかったなと思いました。

The pioneer village, crab house, Cape Earth, the town and night view of Hakodate, the morning market, the Trappistine Monastery, Onuma Park, and Hell Valley... It was a very fulfilling trip with beautiful scenery, delicious food, and a hotel with hot springs for accommodation.

開拓村、カニ屋敷、地球岬、函館の町や夜景、朝市、トラピスチヌ修道院、大沼公園、地獄谷、、、綺麗な景色に美味しい物、宿泊のホテルも温泉付きで大変充実した旅になりました。

I was looking for a day trip bus tour from Nagoya to Takayama and Shirakawa-go, and I happened to find and sign up for this one. The guide spoke Japanese, English, and Chinese. Most of the participants were inbound tourists, and I was a bit anxious at first, but everyone had good manners and was polite, so we completed the tour without any issues. There was plenty of time to explore both Takayama and Shirakawa-go, and I really enjoyed it. After all, bus tours are easy and comfortable. It was just the best. Thank you to the lovely guide and driver for taking care of us.

高山、白川郷行きの名古屋からの日帰りバスツアーを探していて、偶然見つけて申し込みました。
日本語、英語、中国語を話される外国人ガイドさん。
参加されてる方もインバウンドの方がほとんどで、最初少し不安でしたが、皆さまマナーも品もよく、全く問題なくツアーを終えました。高山、白川郷ともたっぷり散策する時間もあり、楽しめました。やはり、バスツアーはラクで快適です。
もう、最高でした。かわいいガイドさん、ドライバーさん、お世話になりました。ありがとうございました。

This was my first time visiting Okinawa, and I participated with my 5-year-old child. I didn't know much about Okinawa before coming, but it was great to efficiently visit many important tourist spots by bus. The "feeding of the whale shark" at the aquarium was impressive, and I learned that whale sharks are gentle creatures that don't try to eat the fish swimming right in front of their mouths. The bus guide shared some surprisingly interesting stories, and I was amazed by Okinawa. I highly recommend it!

沖縄観光初めてで5歳の子供と参加しました。沖縄のことはあまり知らずに来たのですが、バスで効率よく多くの重要な観光地をまわれてよかったです。水族館の「ジンベイザメの餌付け」は迫力あるとともに、ジンベイザメの口元でお魚が泳いでいても全然食べようとしない優しい生き物だということがわかりました。バスガイドさんの話は何気に興味深い話があり、沖縄びっくりでした。ぜひおすすめです。

You don't need to bring anything in particular; you can participate wearing a swimsuit or a swimsuit with a T-shirt on top. The staff will kindly teach you how to use the fins and snorkel, so even beginners can join the sea turtle tour with peace of mind. On the day of the tour, we were able to see three sea turtles! They also provide a lot of data, so I highly recommend it!!!

特に持ち物は必要なく水着や水着の上にTシャツを着て参加できます
フィンやシュノーケルの使い方は丁寧にお兄さんが教えて下さるので、初心者の方でも安心してウミガメツアーに参加できます☺︎
当日は3匹のウミガメに会うことができました♡データもたくさんくれるのですごくオススメです！！！

I heard that the stars in Miyako Island are beautiful, so I was looking for a place that could take photos of the night sky and found this one! They were very kind to provide details during the preliminary reservation! When I arrived on the day, the night sky was unlike anything I had ever seen, and it was so beautiful!!! The person in charge came and took photos with the stars, and they also taught me about the stars and chatted with me in a friendly manner, which made me very happy! The data arrived two days later, and I really appreciated the quick response! The stars were captured beautifully, and I am very satisfied! I was so happy to see the Milky Way for the first time!!

宮古島の星が綺麗ときき、星空の写真を撮ってくれるところを探していてこちらをみつけました！
仮予約の時に詳細を教えてくれてとても親切でした！
当日現地に行くともう見たことがないくらいの星空で、とても綺麗でした！！！
そして担当の方が来てくれて、星空と一緒にお写真を撮って頂きました！
星のことも教えてくれて気さくにお話してくれてとても嬉しかったです！
データが２日後に届いてとても迅速な対応をありがとうございました！
めちゃくちゃ星が綺麗に映っていてとても満足です！天の川初めて見れて嬉しかったです！！

They conduct the tour even for small groups, making it a compact and smooth day trip, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. The guide was dedicated, and the professional driving was safe and appropriately speedy.

少人数でも実施してくれるのでコンパクトでスムーズな日帰り旅行となり、十分に楽しめました。安全かつ適度にスピーディなプロの運転でガイドさんも一生懸命。

The staff were very polite, and I was able to participate with peace of mind. I enjoyed listening to various stories about Iriomote Island, and it was a lot of fun! I also got to meet a sea turtle, creating the best memories! I would like to use this service again.

スタッフさんがとても丁寧で、安心して参加することができました。
西表島の色々なお話をお聴きでき、とっても楽しかったです！
ウミガメにも出会えて、最高の思い出ができました！
また利用させていただきたいと思います。

In the morning, I got lost on the way to the group bus stop. I could see the bus stop, but I couldn't cross the road because it was for taxis, so I had to take a long detour. There were also foreign travelers on the bus, and the announcements in Japanese and English were enjoyable.

The plan was well thought out, and when we arrived at Shirakawa-go, the bus stop for the observation deck was right in front of us, so I decided to take the bus to the observation deck without hesitation. Following the guide's instructions, we finished our tour in about two hours and I was hungry. I had prepared myself for the meal based on reviews, but I was surprised at how good it was. I think it would be better if the management removed reviews that are not fair evaluations. It would be great to have menu options for vegetarians and those who don't eat beef, but I thought the portion size was fine even if you couldn't eat everything.

Next time, I would like to visit during the snowy season.

朝は団体バス乗り場までの道で迷いました。
バス乗り場は見えるけどタクシーのための道路で横断できず、ぐるっと大回りしました。
バスには外国の方もいらして日本語と英語でのアナウンス楽しかったです。

プランもよく練られていて白川郷に着くと目の前が展望台行きの停留所だったので迷わず展望台までバスに乗ることにしました。
ガイドさんに教えてもらった通りに見て回るとちょうど2時間で戻ってきてお腹も空きました。
食事は口コミを見て構えていましたが、ちゃんとしていてびっくりしました。
正当な評価でない口コミは運営で消してくれた方がいいと思います。
菜食主義や牛肉を食べない方のためにメニューの選択肢があれば最高ですが、食べれなくても問題のない量だと思いました。

今度は雪の季節に行ってみたいです。

Despite not knowing if the tour would take place due to the typhoon the day before, I was able to safely go to Mishima and had a wonderful time! The water buffalo tour to Yufu Island was especially impressive, as the water level had risen due to high tide and the typhoon, but the strong water buffalo moved forward with determination.

前日の台風で催行されるか分からないなか、無事三島に行くことができ楽しい時間を過ごすことができました！特に由布島への水牛ツアーは満潮かつ台風で水かさが増しているなか、力強く進む水牛さんに感動しました。

The guide was kind and attentive, and I was able to spend a truly meaningful time as they shared various stories. The tour was also mystical, and I was very satisfied. Thank you very much.

ガイドさんも親切丁寧で
色んな話をして下さり本当に有意義な時間を過ごすことができました。ツアーも神秘的で大満足です。
ありがとうございました。

Last year, I participated in a tour that included popular spots like Furano. My son was disappointed that we didn't have enough time at Asahiyama Zoo, so this year I chose a tour that only goes to Asahiyama Zoo.

As a result, it was a great decision. My son was very satisfied. The animals seemed lively and we had a lot of fun, possibly because the heat had settled down.

However, unrelated to the tour content, there were two pairs of parents with children around three years old sitting together, while two adults sat behind them. That was not good. The adults were either chatting or engrossed in their smartphones, while the kids were noisy and watching a tablet without headphones, causing sound leakage. They were completely unsupervised. They were even playing with the drink holders and almost broke them. When we finally got off the bus, the area under the seats where the kids were sitting was full of trash! Yet the parents nonchalantly got off without a care, which was shocking.

To participate in such an inexpensive tour and leave the bus in such a messy state... I will take this as a lesson.

去年は一番人気の富良野等にも行くツアーに参加。息子が旭山動物園の滞在時間が足りなかったと残念がっていたので、今年は旭山動物園だけ行ければいい、とこれを選んだ。
結果、大正解。息子も大満足。
動物さん達は、暑さも落ち着いたせいか皆元気でとっても楽しめた。


ツアー内容と関係ないが参加者の親子２組さん、３歳前後？の子供を2人で座らせ後ろに大人が２人で座ってた、あれはまずい。おばさん同士のお喋り又はスマホに夢中で、子供達が騒いだりタブレットをイヤホン無しで鑑賞しおもいっきり音漏れしてたり、が完全野放し。ドリンクホルダーで遊んで折りそうだったし。最後に降りた時には子供のいた座席下がゴミだらけ！なのに親は知らん顔で堂々と降りていって驚愕。

こんなお安くツアーに参加させて頂いておいて、バスをゴミだらけにして帰るとは…反面教師とします。

I was worried because it was cloudy, but the stars were beautifully visible. The photographer provided great background music and gave precise instructions, which made for a good shoot.

曇りだったので大丈夫かと心配でしたが、星が綺麗に見えてました。
撮影担当者もよいBGMを流しながら的確に指示してくれたのでいい撮影ができました。

My friend came from Tokyo, and I showed them around Osaka. There were so many interesting things about Osaka. The announcements were fascinating; I learned things I didn't know before!

東京から友達がきて、大阪案内。大阪の面白さがたくさん詰まってた。アナウンスの話が、へえ〜そうなんだ知らなかったばかりで面白かった

The factory night view was more beautiful than I had imagined. It's different from the cityscape at night, and I could also feel the unique smells of the industrial area and the heat from the natural gas.

Since it was a small boat, it moved at quite a good speed, so I think a light jacket would be nice as autumn approaches. The captain was a pleasant gentleman, which made the experience enjoyable. However, one point to note is that since I was sitting outside rather than inside the boat, the sound of the waves and the engine made it a bit difficult to hear the captain's explanations. I felt that it would be nice if the speaker volume could be turned up a little. I understand that for customers who enjoy chatting, a louder volume might be bothersome, so I realize it's a bit tricky.

初めての工場夜景は、想像以上に綺麗すぎました。街並みの夜景とはまた違って、独特の工場地帯の匂いや天然ガスの熱も感じられました。
小型船なので、結構いいスピードで船を走らせてくれるので、秋めいてくると薄手の上着があってもいいかと思います。
船長さんがいい雰囲気のおじさまで心地良かったです。ただ1点だけ、船内ではなく外に乗ったため、波やエンジンの音でせっかくの船長さんの説明がやや聞こえづらかったので、もう少しスピーカーの音量を大きくしてもらってもいいかなとは感じました。お喋りしながら楽しむお客様には音量が大きいとうるさいと感じるんだろうし、難しいとは思いますが。

The Hitsujigaoka Observation Hill was late in the day, and the sheep had already gone into their barn. It seems that there are times when athletes practice at the Okurayama Ski Jump, but there were none on this day. It was nice to have someone take us there since both places are a bit inconvenient to reach on our own.

羊ヶ丘展望台は時間が遅く羊達も小屋に入っていた。大倉山スキー場は選手たちが練習している時もあるらしいがこの日はいなかった。いずれも自分達で行くには少し不便なので連れて行ってくれるのは良かった。

I thought it would be quite difficult to visit Takachiho on my own, so I joined this tour. I felt a bit anxious about using a company for the first time, but by the time I boarded the impressive bus, my excitement took over. The tour guide was from China, and with the bus almost full of Chinese tourists, I found myself wondering which country I was in, as the Japanese presence felt quite minimal. Most of the explanations were in Chinese, which made that feeling even stronger. However, it was a unique experience that I enjoyed.

I was very satisfied with the lunch and the route, and both the tour guide and the driver were pleasant, making for a delightful tour. I would like to participate in another tour to a different location. Additionally, the tour guide speaks several languages, so there’s no need to worry about language barriers.

個人で高千穂日帰りはなかなか大変だと思い、このツアーに参加。
初めて利用する会社に少々不安を覚えたが、立派なバスに乗り込む頃にはワクワクのほうが先。
添乗員さんが中国の方ということと、中国人観光客の方々でほぼ満席の車内が、ここはどこの国？と日本人は逆に影が薄い存在。説明ほぼ中国語だったし余計にそう感じた。でもそれはそれでなかなかできない体験で楽しませてもらった。
昼食も、ルートも大満足、添乗員さんも運転手さんも感じよく、気持ちの良いツアーだった。
また別の場所のツアーも参加したいと思う。
なお添乗員さんは数カ国語を喋られるので、言葉の心配はない。

It was amazing to see the sea turtles up close for a long time! The staff was kind, and it was fun to see the corals and fish as well. Thank you!

ウミガメを間近で長時間見れて最高でした！
お兄さんも優しくて、サンゴとお魚さんまで見れて楽しかったです。
ありがとうございました！

I decided to join the tour just two days prior and participated alone, but I had a great time. The duration at each sightseeing spot was just right, and I have no complaints. It was a very enjoyable experience that was worth the price.

前々日に参加することを決めて急遽1人でツアーに参加しましたがとっても楽しめました。
それぞれの観光スポットの滞在時間もちょうど良くて文句なしです。料金に見合ったとても楽しい体験ができます

Before moving to another prefecture from Kagoshima, we went to Yakushima to create some memories. My youngest child is in elementary school, and I applied for a guide with the mindset that if it didn't work out, I would just have to accept it. As expected, from quite early on, my child was in full "I don't want to walk" mode. I thought the Jomon Sugi would be impossible.

However, the guide was amazing. Not only did he share a wealth of knowledge, but he also encouraged the kids, held their hands, and calculated just how long we could rest. I never realized that being a mountain guide required such physical strength, intelligence, and kindness. I truly respected him.

In the end, we were able to see the Jomon Sugi, and despite crying a lot, my child managed to reach the goal on their own feet. As a family, we were more moved by the guide's performance than by seeing the Jomon Sugi. The kids loved him so much that they said they wanted to go back to Yakushima to see him again. It became a wonderful memory.

The children seemed to find the tramway path much tougher than the mountain trails. It's strange that while adults find the unmarked paths and stairs more challenging, the kids prefer those paths and climb them with ease.

鹿児島から他県に引越す前に屋久島に思い出作りに行きました。1番下の子は低学年の小学生。無理なら残念だけどあきらめるつもりでガイドを申し込みました。案の定、かなり序盤から歩きたくないモード全開。縄文杉は無理だなと思っていました。
しかし、ガイドさんが素晴らしく、いろんな知識を披露してくれるだけでなく、子ども達を励ましてくれて、手を繋いでくれて、ギリギリどのくらいなら休憩してていいのか計算してくれて…。山岳ガイドがこんなに体力と知力と優しさが必要な職業だとは思わず、本当にただただ尊敬しました。
結果、縄文杉に出会えて、ボロボロに泣きながらも子どもも自分の足でゴールできました。家族みんな縄文杉を見たことよりも、ガイドさんの仕事ぶりの方に感動しました。子ども達もガイドさんに会いにまた屋久島に行きたいと言うほど、大好きになりました。すごくいい思い出になりました。

子どもは登山の道より、断然トロッコ道の方がきつそうでした。大人は道なき道や階段の方がきついのに、子どもはそんな道の方が好きでサクサク登って行くのは不思議でした。

After arriving at Ishigaki Island, we immediately requested a four-hour private tour. We were able to meet smoothly at the airport, and the guide adjusted to my fourth-grade son's pace, allowing us to leisurely explore the sights of Ishigaki Island. Additionally, we learned a lot about the flowers and plants of Ishigaki, which became the theme for my son's summer homework.

We were able to gain a deeper understanding of Ishigaki Island than we would have on our own, and we had a very fulfilling time, for which we are grateful.

If we have the opportunity again, we would love to explore a more in-depth experience of Ishigaki Island.

石垣島到着後すぐに４時間の貸し切り観光をお願いしました。
空港でもスムーズにお会いでき、小学４年生の息子のペースに合わせていただき、ゆっくりじっくりと石垣島の観光地を巡ることができました。
また、石垣島のお花や植物についてもたくさん教えていただき、息子の夏休みの宿題のテーマになりました。
親子二人で周るよりも、より深く石垣島を知ることができ、大変充実した時間を過ごすことができ感謝しております。

また機会があれば、よりディープな石垣島をご案内いただきたいです。

I made a last-minute online reservation the night before my trip, but they handled everything without any issues. The guide was wonderful, providing explanations in three languages! The tour was packed with activities, but I was taken to places I wouldn't have been able to reach on my own, and I'm very satisfied that I chose this tour. There were only a few Japanese customers, but everyone was calm, and the bus was quiet, which was nice. Thank you very much. I look forward to your assistance when I visit Hokkaido again! 😊

弾丸旅行で前々日の夜に急遽ネット予約しましたが問題なく対応してもらえました。
ガイドさんは3カ国で説明してくれて素晴らしかったです！ツアーの内容は詰め詰めプランだけど、自分たちの足では行かれなかっただろう場所も最短ルートで連れてってもらえて、ツアーにしてよかったと大満足です。お客さんも日本人少ないけど穏やかでバス内も静かでよかったです。
ありがとうございました。また北海道旅行に来た時はよろしくお願いします(^^)

The weather was different at each tourist spot. It's better to have a folding umbrella. Depending on the location, it varied between rain, clouds, and sunshine. Lake Toya and Showa Shinzan had good weather.

各観光地で天気が違った。折り畳み傘はあったほうがいいです。
場所によって、雨、曇り、晴れとまちまちでした。　洞爺湖、昭和新山は天気がよかった。
