All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

Wow, I never expected to meet so many sea turtles up close like this! It was a tour that greatly exceeded my expectations, and I was absolutely, incredibly satisfied! I'll leave the details of the tour to the photos and other reviews, but here’s some information about the departure point (Shinjō Coast).

■ Meeting Time
Depending on the sea conditions on the day of the tour, you might receive a call the day before requesting a change. I had my time changed from 11:00 to 09:00.
■ Meeting Place
The meeting place is the light van parked in the parking lot.
■ Parking
There are both free and paid options (2,000 yen/day), but the free parking was full by 08:30.
■ Changing Rooms
There are three changing rooms each for men and women, which are public shower rooms as well. Since the storage shelves are high up, it's convenient to bring a waterproof bag (a plastic bag is fine) and a hook.
■ Shower Room
This is shared with the changing rooms. You can use the shower (only water?) for 100 yen for 5 minutes.
■ Toilet
The toilet is in the same building as the changing room/shower room.

To make the most of your time, I recommend wearing your swimsuit when heading to the tour departure point.

I received over 50 photos via LINE. I will definitely participate again next time!

いやー、こんなに近くで、しかも何匹ものウミガメさん達に会えるとは。。。
参加前の期待値を大幅に超えた、大大大満足のツアーでした！
ツアーの内容は写真と他のレビューにお任せするとして、ここではツアー出発地（新城海岸）の情報を少しお伝えします。

■集合時間
ツアー実施日の海の状況によって、変更を依頼する電話が前日にかかってくることがあります。
自分は11:00→09:00に変更になりました。
■集合場所
駐車場に駐車している軽のバンが集合場所です。
■駐車場
無料と有料（2,000円/日）がありますが、無料駐車場は08:30の時点で満車でした。
■更衣室
公設？のシャワー室兼用の更衣室が男性用、女性用とも3室ずつあります。
物置き用の網棚が高い位置にあるので、防水バック（レジ袋でOK）とフックを持っていくと便利です。
■シャワー室
更衣室と兼用です。
100円で5分間シャワー（水のみ？）が使えます。
■トイレ
更衣室/シャワー室と同じ建物にあります。

時間を有効に使うためにも、参加時は水着を着てツアー出発地に向かうことをお勧めします。

次回も絶対参加しまーす！！

I participated with my 83-year-old mother-in-law. Since there were 18 people on the tour, we were able to sit with some space between us. Both the guide and the driver were nice, which made me feel at ease.

At Asahiyama Zoo, we were lucky enough to see the "Mogumogu Time" with the penguins, polar bears, and the tamarin. The main goal of the trip, the Blue Pond and Shirahige Falls, had great weather, and we were able to take the best photos. The timing for bathroom breaks was also good, making it a fun day of sightseeing.

We participated as a pair, and when I calculated the costs of the rental car, gas, tolls, and the fatigue from driving, I definitely felt it was worth it. If I can come to Hokkaido again, I would like to join another tour with this company. My energetic 83-year-old mother-in-law also walked well and enjoyed participating.

８３歳の義母と参加しました。
ツアー客18人だったので間隔を空けて座れました。
ガイドさんも運転手さんも良い人で安心しました。
まず旭山動物園では、運良くペンギン・白熊・手長ざるの「モグモグタイム」を見る事が出来ました。
1番の目的、青い池や白ひげの滝は天候も良く最高の写真が撮れました。
トイレ休憩のタイミングも良く楽しい1日観光でした。
2人で参加しましたが、レンタカー代・ガソリン代・高速代・運転の疲れなど計算したら絶対お得だと思いました。次、北海道へ来れたら
またコチラの会社のツアーに参加したいですね。
８３歳の元気な義母も、しっかり歩いて楽しんで参加していました。

The stars were incredibly beautiful!! The staff was very kind and attentive! It seems like they offer other activities as well, and I thought I would like to try them next time I visit Miyako Island!! I definitely recommend everyone to give it a try ^_^

めちゃくちゃ星が綺麗でした！！お兄さんもすごく優しくて対応もよかったです！
星以外にもやってるみたいで、次に宮古島きたらお願いしたいなとおもいました！！
ぜひみなさんやってみてください^_^

The weather gradually worsened, and our guide mentioned, "Even if we go to Chihiro Falls, you might only hear the sound and not see the waterfall," but we were able to see it safely! For some reason, when we got out of the car at other spots like Gajumaru and Okawa Falls, it would start to drizzle or the rain would stop... It felt miraculous that we could enjoy everything. On the way back, I was grateful for the kind ride back to the hotel. I was worried about whether the plane would take off, but miraculously, it cleared up and we flew safely! It's quite difficult to explore Yakushima alone, but thanks to this experience, I had a fulfilling and memorable trip to Yakushima.

天候がだんだん悪くなり、ガイドさんから「千尋滝に行っても、音だけで滝は見られないかも」とのお話がありましたが、無事見ることができました！
その他ガジュマルや大川の滝もなぜか車を降りると小雨になったり、雨が止んだり…
奇跡のようにすべてを楽しむことができました。
帰り、親切にホテルまで送ってくださってありがたかったーです。
飛行機が飛ぶか心配でしたが、これも奇跡的に晴れて、無事飛びました！
なかなか一人では、屋久島を回ることはできませんが、お陰様で充実した思い出深い屋久島旅行になりました。

We were able to relax and take photos while being guided on posing, all while our favorite music was playing!

たまたま私達がよく聞く音楽が流れる中、ポージングの指定もしてくださり、リラックスして撮影できました！

It was my first trip to Shirakawa-go and Gokayama. The guide and driver were very attentive and provided detailed explanations, plus they kindly recommended great photo spots, making for a very meaningful and enjoyable day. Thank you very much. If I have the chance, I would like to participate in other bus tours as well.

初めての白川郷と五箇山の旅行でした。ガイドさんと運転手さんの行き届いた気配りと詳しい説明、プラスおすすめの写真撮影のスポットまで親切に教えていただき、大変有意義で楽しい一日を過ごすことが出来ました。ありがとうございました。また機会があればほかのバスツアーにも参加したいです。

The guide who assisted us was very nice, and we had a fun tour! Although the bus was full, it was on time, and I was able to relax and enjoy the trip without worrying about my return ticket. The information about the sightseeing spots was clear, and I received helpful recommendations for shops along the way, which was great. Also, the bus driver was friendly and had a smile. The ride was smooth and comfortable. I hope to use this tour company again someday! Thank you!

案内いただいたガイドさん！とっても良い方で、楽しくツアーができました！
満席でしたが、バスは時間が正確で帰りの切符を購入しておりましたが気にせず安心して回れました。
観光地の情報も分かりやすくて、お店の情報も適宜教えてもらったりと大変良かったです。
あと、バスの運転手さんも笑顔で良い方でした。振動はなく乗り心地良かったです。
また、いつかこちらのツアー会社でと思っております！ありがとうございました～！

The first half was rainy, but it was sunny when we arrived at Jomon Sugi! I was incredibly happy!
I had hardly done any mountain climbing before, but with the kind advice from our guide, I was able to return safely.
It was really fun!
I fell in love with Yakushima. I will come again!

前半は雨でしたが、縄文杉に到着した時には晴れ！最高に幸せでした！
登山はほとんどしたことがない私でしたが、ガイドさんの親切なアドバイスをあれこれいただき、無事帰ることができました。
本当に楽しかったです！
屋久島大好きになりました。また来ます！

I'm satisfied with the wonderful photos that became great memories. The photographer was also interesting, and we had a fun time during the shoot. The stars were beautiful, and I enjoyed them even with the naked eye.

思い出になる素敵な写真が撮れて満足です。
カメラマンさんも面白く、楽しく撮影出来ました。
星も素敵な場所で肉眼でも楽しめました。

What surprised me at first was that the bus had unreserved seating. (I’ve seen this in bus tours abroad, but it seems rare for bus tours in Japan…?) This means that the later you board, the fewer seat options you have, so if you definitely want a window seat or don’t want to be separated from your group, it’s better to arrive early.

On the day of the tour, there seemed to be many participants from overseas, but the atmosphere inside the bus was quiet. Even if someone was a minute or two late, everyone was well-mannered. It was nice to see that everyone seemed to be enjoying the sightseeing, which made me feel happy too.

I have visited Hokkaido many times, but the scenery varies greatly depending on the location and even the season at the same place. For those traveling alone without a car but wanting to visit various places and enjoy stunning views, this tour was truly appreciated. I would love to participate in a tour like this again.

最初に驚いたのが、バスが自由席だったこと。
（海外で参加したバスツアーにはそういったものもありましたが、日本のバスツアーでは珍しい気が…？）
つまり、乗車時間が遅くなるほど席は選べなくなるので、絶対に窓側に座りたい方や、グループで参加するのにバラバラになりたくない方は早めに行ったほうがいいです。

当日は、海外からのお客様も多く参加されていたようでしたが、車内は静かで、集合時間に遅れても1～2分程度で、皆さんマナーがよかったです。
観光中もとても楽しんでいる様子でしたので、何だかこちらまで嬉しいような気持ちになりました。

北海道には何度も訪れていますが、場所によって、また同じ場所でも季節によって、ずいぶん風景が違いますね。
一人旅・車ナシ、でも色々な場所に行って絶景を楽しみたい人にとっては本当にありがたいツアーでした。
またこのようなツアーがあったら参加したいです。

The weather forecast was completely rainy, so I participated without much expectation, but as we approached Cape Hedo, the sky suddenly cleared up, and the views from the two observation decks at the cape were amazing. Just seeing this scenery is worth it.

The rock formations at Obayashi Ishiyama are unique and not easily found elsewhere, and from the observation deck, we could also see Cape Hedo, which was breathtaking.

And above all, the taste of the sashimi at the port for lunch exceeded my expectations—it was incredibly delicious!

However, the tour guide spoke too quickly, making it hard to hear, and there was little explanation about the flow after getting off the bus or about the restrooms. It was disappointing that I had to ask again after getting off to understand. I would have appreciated some advice about walking a bit ahead. Also, when we went to the store, the conversation was mostly with the staff, which was awkward. I hope they can prioritize customer interaction a bit more and be more accommodating.

The scenery was fantastic, and the Okinawa rail was super cute, but if the tour guide had been more attentive, it would have made for an even better trip.

天気予報は完全に梅雨空で　あまり期待しないで参加しましたが　辺戸岬近づくと急に晴天になり　岬の2つの展望台が景色最高でした
この景色見るだけでも価値があります

大林石山も他ではあまり見ることができない奇岩怪石と展望台からも辺戸岬がみられ絶景でした

それと何と言っても　昼食の港食事の刺身の味が期待以上でした　めちゃ美味かった！

ただ添乗員の説明が早口で聞こえづらく　バスを降りてからの動線や　トイレの説明少なく　降りてからもう一度聞かなければわからないのが残念でした　　少し先頭で歩くとかアドバイスが欲しかったです　　お店にいくと店スタッフとばかりの会話も見苦しかったです　もう少し客の対応を優先すること考えてもっと寄り添ってください

景色が最高で　ヤンバルクイナもめちゃ可愛かったですが　添乗員の気配りがもっとあればより最高の旅になりましたよね

We rode on a double-decker bus for the first time during our trip with five family members ranging from their 20s to 80s. I was worried about whether the elderly could climb the bus stairs, but there were handrails, and it was fine.

The seats were narrow, but the weather was clear, and the pleasant breeze in May made the view of Osaka from above absolutely fantastic. The scenery in Dotonbori was different from what we saw while walking, and I thought it was worth more than the price with the enjoyable guided tour.

If I have the chance, I would like to ride it again.

初めての二階建てバス、20代から80代までの家族5人で旅行中に乗りました。年寄りがバスの階段を上れるか心配でしたが手すりもあり大丈夫でした。
シートは狭いですが、晴天で5月の心地よい風が吹き、高いところから見る大阪の景色は最高でした。道頓堀は歩いて見た時とまた違った景色が広がり、楽しいガイド付きでお値段以上だったと思います。
機会があればまた乗りたいと思います。

As a person who doesn't drive, I was very grateful for this bus tour since I couldn't use a rental car.

I participated in the morning tour, and I was able to fully enjoy Yakushima's nature, from the mountains to the sea.

We visited numerous spots, and I felt that the free time for exploration at each location was more than sufficient.

ペーパードライバーの自分にはレンタカーが使えなかったので、このようなバスツアーはとてもありがたかったです。

私は午前中のみのツアーでしたが、山から海まで十分に屋久島の自然を味わえました。

数多くのスポットを巡りましたが、それぞれのスポットでの自由散策の時間も必要十分だったと感じました。

I was very glad to have such great weather.

Before signing up, I wondered how it would be with fewer Japanese participants, but it actually made me feel like I was overseas. I was impressed that the tour guide could speak three languages! The course was excellent, and it turned out to be a very fulfilling trip. Since the distance was long, I hesitated about renting a car, but I’m glad I decided to go for it.

とても天候に恵まれてよかったです。

申し込む前は日本人の割合の方が少ないってどうなの？って思っていましたが、逆に海外に行ってる気分になれたような。
添乗員さんが3カ国語も話せるなんてすごい！！って感心しました。コースも申し分なくとても充実した旅行になりました。
距離が長いのでレンタカーと迷いましたが思い切って申し込んでよかったです。

It had been 40 years since I last visited Kyoto, and I was filled with both excitement and anxiety. The affordability was definitely appealing, and while I had prepared myself to some extent after seeing other people's posts, I was surprised to find that over 90% of the visitors were from various countries, which was enjoyable in its own way. I was impressed by the tour guide who provided explanations and guidance in multiple languages! I truly appreciated all the help with admission tickets, lunch, and more.

京都の観光は40年ぶりで期待と不安で一杯でした。
なんと言っても安さが魅力的でしたが、他の方の投稿を見ていましたのである程度は覚悟はしていましたが、本当に9割以上の方が多国籍の方でしたがそれはそれで楽しかったです。
添乗員さんが、多言語で説明と案内をしてる事に感心しました!
入場券、昼食など…本当に色々とお世話になり助かりました。

I was able to see a lot efficiently in one day! I think it was really great to visit all the places I wanted to see.

Our guide, Mr. Okina, was very thorough and explained everything clearly, which made me very satisfied (*^^*). Driver Mr. Matsushita, thank you for your hard work driving all day.

It was a wonderful trip, thank you! ✨

１日でたくさん効率的に見れて良かった！
見たかったところをいっぱいまわれて本当にいい内容だと思います

ガイドの翁さんも丁寧でわかりやすく説明していただき、大満足(*^^*)
ドライバーのマツシタさんも１日運転お疲れさまでした

素敵な旅行になりました、ありがとうございます✨

When I rode the water buffalo cart in Yufu, I was able to spend a very relaxed and peaceful time swaying gently in the slowly moving cart. I was impressed by how the water buffalo skillfully turned without colliding on the narrow paths of Taketomi Island.

由布・竹富島での水牛車に乗った際は、ゆっくりと進んでいく水牛車に揺られながらとてもゆったりとした穏やかな時間を過ごすことができました。
竹富島では細い道もぶつかることなく上手に曲がる水牛はすごいと感動しました。

I participated alone. I spent a wonderful time with the person next to me. Although I couldn't see Cape Erimo due to the fog, the rest of the scenery was fantastic. I would love to join again if there's another opportunity.

一人で参加さていただきました。
お隣の方とご一緒させていただきとても素敵な時間を過ごさせていただきました。
地球岬だけ霧でみえませんでしたがあとは最高の景色です。
また機会があれば参加したいです。

I participated in a day trip bus tour from Kanazawa Station to Gokayama and Shirakawa-go. There were also foreign participants on the tour.

First, I was surprised by the guide's fluent English. It was great how they skillfully used both Japanese and English, providing clear explanations. They also recommended great souvenirs and food, which was enjoyable.

Additionally, the driver was very pleasant and engaged with the guests. I have visited Kanazawa several times, but it was nice to be able to explore a bit further. I would like to join another tour to different places if available.

Thank you very much.

金沢駅から五箇山、白川郷への日帰りバスツアーに参加しました。外国の方も一緒のツアーでした。
まず驚いたのは、ガイドさんの流暢な英語。日本語と英語を巧みに使い、わかりやすい説明で良かったです。
おすすめのお土産や食べ物も教えてくださり、楽しかったです。
また、運転手さんもとても感じの良い方で、お客さんに声をかけてくれました。
何回か金沢に訪れていますが、少し遠くを観光できるのは良かったです。
別の場所もツアーがあれば行きたいです。
ありがとうございました。

On the day of the visit, the weather was favorable, and although the peak bloom of the moss phlox had slightly passed, the magnificent scenery that colored the entire area made me take a lot of photos.

当日は天気にも恵まれて、芝桜のピークは少し超えていましたが辺り一面を彩る壮大な景色に、思わず写真をたくさん撮ってしまいました。

Even if you don't know much about your travel destination, they suggested places you can visit within the time limit, making it a wonderful trip! I think it's more efficient than renting a car!

旅行先の事がわからなくても時間内で行けるところを提案してくれてとても良い旅行になりました！！
レンタカー借りるより効率良いと思います！

I thought it might be hectic, but it was nothing like that at all; I was able to fully enjoy the island for the first time. The food was delicious too!

バタバタかなぁと思いましたが全くそんなことは無く、初めての島を満喫できました^ ^
ご飯も美味しくてよかったです！

I was able to swim with sea turtles! My friend, who was a bit anxious about swimming, seemed to really enjoy it as well. The instructor was friendly and cool, and he took a lot of photos that I couldn't have captured myself.

ウミガメと一緒に泳げました！
泳ぎに不安のあった友人もとっても楽しめたようで良かったです。
インストラクターのお兄さんも気さくでかっこよく、自分では撮れない写真をたくさん撮っていただきました◎

Thank you for your hard work interpreting in both English and Japanese, especially with so many visitors from abroad. I hope your schedule becomes even busier. The photo taken with my wife in the bamboo grove in Arashiyama has become a wonderful memory. Thank you very much.

外国から来られた方がとても多く、英語と日本語での通訳お疲れさまでした。益々お忙しくなりますように祈念申し上げます。嵐山の竹林で撮っていただいた妻との写真がとても良い思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。

The weather was great, and it was the best bus tour. I participated with my mother, who is in her 60s, and we were very satisfied to visit all the major tourist spots in one day. The tour guide's precise actions, just sitting on the bus to reach our destinations, being able to visit famous places in Kyoto in one day, and the distribution of free time was just right to achieve our goals. Since 90% of the participants were foreigners, I was able to study English through the tour guide's explanations, and the Kyoto cuisine was delicious, among other things. It was truly enjoyable! I have been to Arashiyama many times, but walking the path recommended by the tour guide was incredibly soothing. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

お天気もよく、最高なバスツアーでした。
60代の母と2人で参加しましたが、主要な観光地に1日で行けて大満足です。
添乗員さんの的確な行動、バスに座っているだけで目的地に着く、1日で京都の有名どころに行ける、自由時間配分はちょうどよく目的は達せれる、参加者は9割外国人なので添乗員さんの説明で英語が勉強できる、京料理が美味しい等。
本当に楽しかったです！
嵐山には何度も行っていますが、添乗員さんオススメの道を歩くとすごく癒されました。
素敵な思い出をありがとうございました！

On our free day during the group trip, we chartered a car for eight people. The driver arrived at the entrance ahead of time, greeted us, and confirmed our itinerary. They provided solid advice on whether our planned schedule was feasible and if we could return within the chartered time, which was very helpful! The driver had a wonderful smile and received great feedback from my companions! Although it was just a half-day tour, everyone was able to visit the places they wanted, creating great memories! I would like to use this service again when I come back to Okinawa!

団体旅行の自由行動日に8人で車をチャーターしました。ドライバーさんは時間前にはエントランスにお迎えに来て下さり、ご挨拶と同時に行程の再確認をしてくれました。自分たちで考えた行程に無理がないか、チャーターした時間内に戻れるかなどしっかりアドバイスもして下さりとても助かりました！
笑顔がとても素敵なドライバーさんで一緒に行った仲間達からもとても好評でした！半日の観光でしたが全員が行きたい所に行けて良い思い出づくりができました！また沖縄に来るときは利用したいと思います！

I participated in the tour on June 13, and I was lucky to be able to land since it's often not possible during this time of year. The guide had actually lived on Gunkanjima until middle school, and their storytelling combined with personal experiences made the tour exceptional.

6月13日ツアー参加でしたが、この時期上陸出来ないことが多く上陸できて幸運でした
ガイドの方は中学年まで実際に「軍艦島」に住んでいたとのとこで、体験談を交えてのガイドは最高でした。

It was June, during the rainy season, so there were only four participants, including my husband and me. Although the number was small, the bus interior was relaxing, and the guide provided various explanations right after we boarded, which was enjoyable.

When visiting for sightseeing, it's easy to focus only on the fun aspects, and I usually don't get the chance to learn about the origins or history of Ishigaki Island. However, on this tour, I was able to hear about the origins of the Tomb of the Chinese and the tidal flow of Kabira Bay, see wild palm trees, and listen to stories about encounters with habu snakes, which was enjoyable. Of course, the guide also shared stories and songs passed down in Ishigaki Island, and I was most surprised by the guide's skill in playing the sanshin and singing! I even wondered if they might be a professional.

Out of the four participants, one person got off at Ishigaki Airport, but they seemed to have enjoyed themselves and waved goodbye to the bus with a smile. It’s a journey around Ishigaki Island that feels like it’s possible yet elusive, so I had a great time participating and learning various things.

6月の梅雨時だったせいか、当日は私たち夫婦を含めて４名の参加でした。人数が少なかったけれど、バス車内はゆっくりくつろげるし、乗車してすぐにガイドさんがいろいろ説明してくれて楽しかった。

観光で行くと楽しいことばかりに目が行ってしまって、石垣島の由来とか歴史なんて学ぶ機会はないですが、このツアーでは唐人墓の由来とか、川平湾の潮の流れとか、野生の椰子の木を見たりハブとの遭遇話など聞けて楽しかったです。もちろん、石垣島に伝わる話や歌も披露してくれて、実は一番びっくりしたのは、ガイドさんの三線と歌の上手さです！実はプロなんじゃないかな？と思ったくらいです。

参加者４名のうち、おひとりが石垣空港で下車されましたが、その方も楽しまれたようで笑顔でバスを見送ってくださいました。
石垣島をぐるっと島を巡る旅は行けそうで行けないので、今回参加していろんなことを聞けて楽しかったです。

I'm glad I participated since there were many places I couldn't go by myself. However, it was really difficult to find a place to have lunch. In the end, I had to buy something at a convenience store and eat it by Lake Toya... I was told there were ramen restaurants, but I just wasn't in the mood for ramen. It would have been perfect if lunch options were a bit more fulfilling.

自分では行けない場所ばかりだったので、参加してよかったです。ただ、お昼を食べる場所が全然なくて探すのが大変だった。結局コンビニで買って洞爺湖で食べるはめに…
ラーメン、レストランがあると言われたが、ラーメンを食べる気にならず。もう少しお昼が充実していれば最高でした。

Since we participated with 10 people, the schedule was efficient, and the time spent at tourist spots when getting off the bus was appropriate. The time spent at the Churaumi Aquarium was also just right, allowing everyone to enjoy themselves.

10名で参加したので、スケジュールが効率よくバス下車の際の観光スポット滞在時間も適切でした。美ら海水族館での滞在時間も適当で其々で楽しむことができました。
