All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

Depending on the actual situation, we were given more time at each stop than originally planned. The driver was also kind. It was a fun trip.

実際の状況によって、それぞれの場所に停留時間を予定以上もらいました。
運転士さんも親切です。
楽しい旅でした。

I recommend this for those who have a flight back around 3 PM. On the last day, you can enjoy a complete tour around Ishigaki Island without wasting time starting from 9 AM. In the end, they drop you off at the airport.

Depending on the weather, you can fully enjoy the charm of the outer rim of Ishigaki Island. You can visit places you might not have gone to alone and gain knowledge you wouldn't have otherwise. If the weather had been good, Kabira Bay and Tamatorizaki Observatory would have surely offered stunning views. Unfortunately, it was slightly cloudy, so I could only experience about half of its beauty, but I was very satisfied. The guide entertained us with interesting trivia and a variety of songs and shamisen performances!

15時台の帰りの飛行機を取ってる方にはおすすめです。
最終日の朝9時から時間を無駄にすることなく石垣島をぐるっと一周。最後は空港で降ろしてくれます。

天気次第ではありますが、石垣島外周の魅力を余すところなく楽しめます。
1人で回ってるだけでは行くことはなかったであろう場所に行くことが出来、知り得なかった知識を得られます。
天気が良ければ川平湾や玉取崎展望台はさぞや絶景だったことでしょう。
残念ながら薄曇りでしたのでその美しさの半分程度しか味わうことは出来ませんでしたが非常に満足できました。
ガイドさんの豆知識と多彩な歌や三味線で楽しませてくれます♪

A trip to Kyoto with my 85-year-old mother after 30 years! It started raining in the morning, and since my mother has some knee concerns, I asked the tour guide at the meeting point about the elevator at Fushimi Inari Taisha, which was mentioned in the brochure. They were very attentive and helpful all the way to the shrine! Thank you so much for your support in such terrible rain!

I also appreciate the care shown by the tour guide who took over later regarding my mother! Thank you, Tamiya and Rin. My mother is grateful as well!

During the bus ride, there was a lot of information packed in, including explanations of history using photos until the next stop!

85才の母と30年ぶりの京都旅！朝から雨に始まり、膝に不安があるので、伏見稲荷大社にエレベーターがあるとパンフレットに記載があり、集合場所の添乗員さんに質問!その後稲荷大社までいろいろと気にかけて頂き、とても助かりました!ヒドイ雨の中本当にありがとうございます!!
その後も引き継いた添乗員の方も母の事の気遣いに感謝しています!
タミヤさん、りんさん、ありがとうございます
母も感謝してましま!
バスの移動中は、写真を使ったりして次の歴史の説明までいろいろな情報満載でした!

The guide provided detailed information and made it easy to explore comfortably. The information about Toyama that we passed through was also interesting.

ガイドさんが、細かくポイントを押さえて案内してくれて、快適に見て回る事が出来ました。。途中通過する富山の情報なども、面白かったです。

I requested a 6-hour tour for a family of five. From the initial consultation about the course, they were very kind and attentive, and I received a confirmation call about the pickup time the day before, which made me feel at ease for the day of the tour. The driver also offered to guide us in English, and his wonderful personality made it a tour that everyone truly enjoyed. Thank you very much.

We departed at 8:30 AM, took a break for lunch, and visited a total of five places, ending at Kiyomizu-dera where we were dropped off. Although we went over time, the extra charges were reasonable, which was really helpful. I will definitely use this service again.

外国人家族と5名で6時間でお願いしました。
コースのご相談から丁寧に親切にしていただき、前日にもお迎え時間の確認のお電話もあり安心して当日を迎えました。
運転手さんが英語を交えてのガイドも買って出てくださり、お人柄も素晴らしかったので皆んなが心から楽しんだツアーとなりました。
本当にありがとうございました。

朝8:30出発、途中でお昼の時間を挟み全部で5箇所回り最後の清水寺で降ろして頂いて終了。
時間もオーバーしてしまったのですが、超過料金もリーズナブルなので本当にたすかりました。
また、是非是非利用させていただきます。

The tour guide's service was excellent.
The lunch was delicious.
I was able to experience various activities, and the time management was great, making it a very fulfilling tour.

添乗員の対応が良かったです。
お昼が美味しかったです。
色々体験できて、時間の分配もよくて、とても充実したツアーでした。

I had my parents join the tour I participated in during my first trip to Okinawa. They were very satisfied with the Churaumi Aquarium. I believe this tour is a must for anyone's first trip to Okinawa.

自分が初沖縄旅に参加したツアーを両親来日時にも参加させました。
やはり美ら海水族館に大満足していました、
初沖縄はこのツアーは必須だと思います。

I visited ANA's training facility.
I was able to see the training of various professions, and it became clear that many people are involved with the airplanes we often see without thinking. I particularly understood the importance of teamwork.
During the tour, it felt as if I was listening to announcements in an airport. I also think the guide did a great job creating a good atmosphere.

anaの研修施設を見学しました。
様々な職種の訓練の様子をみることができて
普段何気なく見ている飛行機には様々な人が関わっており、
特にチームワークを大事にされていることがよく分かりました。
ツアーの中では、まるで空港の中でアナウンスを聞いているようでした。ガイドさんが良い雰囲気を作って頂いたのもよかったと思います。

The weather was very nice, and I was able to enjoy the places I wanted to visit and the scenery I wanted to see! I would like to take my time exploring the places I liked on my next trip. ^_^

とても良いお天気で、行きたい所や見たい景色を楽しむことができました！
今回気に入ったところを、次の旅行でまたゆっくりまわりたいと思います^_^

I chose the course at the Valley of Gangala. The explanations were thorough, and it was enjoyable. I think participating on the last day of my stay was just right for the time until my late flight.

ガンガラーの谷のコースにしました。丁寧に説明してくださり楽しかったです。滞在最終日に参加したら遅いフライトまでの時間に丁度良かったと思いました。

I was filled with anxiety as a near-beginner in mountain climbing, considering the early morning departure, the long hours of hiking, and the restroom situation. However, thanks to the guide's accurate advice and support, I was able to meet the impressive Jomon Sugi and return safely. The pre-tour communications were as instructed, which provided a great sense of reassurance. I was healed and overwhelmed by the nature of Yakushima. I had prepared myself for the fact that it is a rainy island, but we were blessed with beautiful weather!

早朝発、長い時間の山登り、トイレ事情に加え、山登りほぼ初心者の私で、不安満載でしたが、ガイドさんの的確なアドバイスとフォローで、感動の縄文杉に会って、きちんと帰ってきました。
事前の諸連絡も案内を受けた通りで、とても安心感のあるツアー。
屋久島の自然に癒され、圧倒されました。
雨が多い島とのことで覚悟して行きましたが、
晴天に恵まれて最高！

I arrived with excitement after having a fun conversation with the guide before getting there! I participated with my two children, who are in the second and fourth grades, and each of them had a flashlight for the tour. In the jungle, we discovered geckos, spiders, hermit crabs, frogs, giant millipedes, crabs, and even four coconut crabs! To top it off, we even spotted a scorpion at the end!

During the stargazing by the seaside, the guide explained the constellations in detail, and I enjoyed looking at the night sky after a long time. It’s even more reassuring to bring gloves or work gloves for this tour. The guides at the front and back, holding flashlights, constantly monitored the situation, which made me feel very safe. If you want to experience the great nature of Ishigaki Island, I highly recommend this tour. It became a wonderful memory.

現地に行くまでにガイドさんに楽しく話してもらいワクワクで到着しました！
小学生２年・４年生の二人を連れての参加ですが、それぞれライトを持ってのツアーです。
ジャングルの中では、ヤモリ、クモ、ヤドカリ、カエル、オオゲジゲジ、カニ、そしてヤシガニも４匹発見！最後はなんとサソリモドキも！
海辺に出ての星空鑑賞では詳しく星座を説明してもらい久しぶりに夜空を眺めました。
このツアーでは手にグローブか軍手を持参すれば更に安心ですね。
先頭と最後尾にライトを持ったガイドさんが常に状況を見てくれていて、とても安心しました。石垣島の大自然を体験するのならこのツアーはおすすめです。とても良い思い出になりました。

I joined right after arriving in Osaka. I was impressed by the powerful panoramic views that are hard to see elsewhere. The last highway felt like an attraction and was the best part!

大阪に着いてすぐに参加。
そしてなかなか見ることのできない迫力あるパノラマ風景に感激。最後の高速はアトラクションのようで最高でした！

I had a great time! However, I went with my mother, who walks with a cane. At the Churaumi Aquarium, you have to walk from the parking lot to the entrance. Since you also walk around at Nago Pineapple Park, I wouldn't recommend the tour for those with mobility issues. If someone with mobility issues is participating, I think it would be a good idea to contact the tour company in advance.

とても楽しかったです！
ただ、私が行った時は杖をつきながら歩く母と一緒でした。
美ら海水族館は入り口まで駐車場から歩きます。ナゴパイナップルワールドでも園内歩くので、足の悪い方はツアーはオススメできません。
足の悪い方が参加されるのなら、一度観光会社に問い合わせておくといいと思います。

Thank you for the safe driving and the cheerful guide! When we arrived at the tourist spot, they took us directly to the points of interest, so we didn't get lost.

安全な運転と明るいガイドさんに感謝！
観光地に到着するとポイントの場所まで連れて行ってくださるので迷うこともありませんでした。

The tour included a comfortable transfer to Inari Shrine via JR, followed by a bus ride, making the travel very easy. However, I felt it was somewhat unkind that there was no explanation provided despite the time being slightly tight. On the other hand, the guide was very kind and attentive to each group, which was impressive. While the explanations about the destinations were clear in both English and Japanese, there were moments when it was difficult to hear the guide, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, I had a satisfying trip and would like to use this service again.

　稲荷神社まではツアーでJRによる移動、その後はバス移動で非常に楽々な移動でした。ただ、時間配分が若干押しているにも関わらず、説明が無かったことがやや不親切に思われました。また、ガイドさんは非常に親切で一組一組に寄り添われていたのは印象的でした。ただ、目的地に関しては英語と日本語での説明で分かりやすかったものの、声が聞きづらい点もあり、その点だけ惜しいと思いました。
全体的に満足の行く旅行ができましたのでまた利用させて頂きたいです。

The meeting place was only vaguely indicated, and I ended up waiting at a different location, which was disappointing. I think they should provide a clear meeting point. When I called, the Japanese was broken and hard to understand, and I felt deceived. The bus to Takayama also made stops along the way without any explanation, and even though it was a highway, the speed was slow.

待ち合わせ場所がおおまかしか載ってなくて
待ってた所と別な所で
残念でした
ハッキリした待ち合わせ場所を載せるべきだと
思いました
電話しても日本語がカタコトでつうじないし
だまされたと思いました
高山に行くバスも途中停まって
何の説明もないし
スピードも高速なのにゆっくりで

It was a trip for two people aged 72 and 79, and from the departure at Ishigaki Port to the return, all aspects of the journey were wonderful. The lunch was also delicious. I unconditionally recommend this tour to anyone considering it.

72歳と79歳の二人旅でしたが、石垣港の出発から帰港まで、全ての行程の内容・対応が素晴らしかったです。ランチも美味しかったです。ツアーを検討されている方に無条件にお勧めします。

I was impressed by the amazing facilities that are usually not accessible. In addition to pilots and cabin crew, there are many ground staff who manage equipment and ensure the safety of the aircraft. They strive for improvement through training and practice.

Pilots must take qualification exams for each specific aircraft, meaning they can only fly that particular type. There were many details about the various job responsibilities that I was unaware of.

The explanations were thorough, and there were places to take photos, so I enjoyed it without getting bored.

What was impressive was that the tour started and ended exactly on time!

普段は見れない施設内に設備の凄さに感動
パイロットやCAのほかにもたくさんの
グランドスタッフに設備機器等を管理するスタッフが居て飛行機の安全を確保している。
研修や訓練で日々向上を目指す。

パイロットは、一つの飛行機の資格試験を受けてその飛行機しか飛ばせない。
多々、それぞれの細かい仕事内容が知らないことばかりでした。

説明も丁寧で、写真撮れる場所もあるから飽きずにとっても楽しめました。

スゴイのは、案内時間がピッタリ！始まり、
ピッタリ！終わったこと。

For elderly individuals who may find it physically challenging to reach Jomon Sugi, a 30 to 50-minute walk leads to the Thousand-Year Cedar Forest. You can also see the Millennium Cedar by bus.

縄文杉までは体力的に無理な高齢者には、30~50分のウォーキングで千年杉の森。バスで紀元杉が観る事が出来ました。

It was raining on the day of the event. Walking for a long time in the rain is tough. It would have been better if there were options for those who don't want to walk much. (I walked over 20,000 steps in one day.) The tour guide was from Taiwan and was fluent in three languages, which I thought was impressive.

　当日は雨でした。雨のなか長い時間歩くのはきついです。あまり歩きたくない人向けの対応策があれば、もっと良かったです。（1日で２０，０００歩を超えました。）添乗員は台湾出身とのことで3か国に通じ、レベルは高かったと思います。

I applied for a sightseeing bus tour for the first time. The departure was at 8:30 AM, which wasn't too early, and we visited Ainokura first.

There were about 20 participants, which was just right. We were able to enjoy sightseeing at a leisurely pace. We could also walk to a high point to take photos.

Next, we visited Shirakawa-go. It was spacious, and there were many dining options available. There were long lines, though. Food sampling was also possible (in fact, we did some food sampling). There were several restrooms as well. The bus parking area was reserved and was probably the easiest place to find.

The tour guide explained things clearly in both Japanese and English. We were able to return to the bus center before 4 PM, which allowed us to make effective use of our time.

はじめて定期観光バスを申込ました。
朝早すぎない８時半出発で、相倉が先に見学でした。

参加者もほどよく２０人ぐらいです。
ゆっくり観光できました。高台からも歩いて写真を撮ることが出来ました。

次に、白川郷を見学しました。
広い、食事処もたくさんあります。すごい並んでますが。
食べ歩きも、可能でした。（実際食べ歩きでした）
トイレもいくつもありました。
バス駐車場も、予約されていたそうで一番分かりやすいかも場所でした。

添乗員さんも日本語、英語とわかりやすくせつめいしてくれます。到着（バスセンター）も、４時前にかえってこれるので、時間を有効に使えます。

On my second visit to Iriomote Island, I was finally able to land on Barasu Island, which I had longed to visit. However, I received a notice the day before that the cave experience was canceled due to not enough participants, and it was replaced with snorkeling, which my partner was disappointed about (but I was lucky because I actually wanted to go snorkeling, haha). We were able to see three sea turtles, and thanks to our guide Matsuko-san's attentive guidance, we had a fun day. I would give it five stars, but since it was different from my initial booking, I will give it four stars. Overall, I was very satisfied with the tour.

西表島２回目にして、念願のバラス島に上陸することが出来ました。ただ前日に鍾乳洞体験が人数が集まらない為、中止との連絡が来て、シュノーケリングに代替になり、相方が残念がっていました(実は自分はシュノーケリングしたかったのでラッキー笑)しかしウミガメも３頭も見れたし、ガイドのまつ子さんの丁寧な案内で楽しく一日過ごすことができました。私としては星５つですが、やはり最初の申し込みとは変更になってしまったので星４つとさせていただきます。ツアーとしては大満足でした。

The explanations about the history of Yakushima and the formation of its forests were clear and posed no problems. However, during the free talk, I was a bit disappointed by the guide's harsh tone and lack of refinement that came through at times. At one point during a break, the guide said, "This group isn't lively, so shall we move on?" and no one could respond, which made the atmosphere freeze. It seemed like the guide lacked the ability to engage and uplift the group. On the way back on the tram road, I could even hear the guide sighing from the back. It's such a shame for a tour of Jomon Sugi...

Additionally, while other tours had groups of 2 to 4 people, this tour had 8 participants. It was clear that the guide was struggling to manage the group. The guide and members had no choice but to leave it to chance, and while there is also a matter of compatibility, I was painfully reminded that a tour can be enjoyable or boring depending on the people involved.

屋久島の歴史や森の成り立ちなどの説明は分かりやすく特に問題ありませんでしたが、フリートークの際、節々に出てくるガイドさんのキツい口調や品のない態度に少しがっかりしました。休憩時に、「このグループは話が弾まないからもう行こうか」という発言もあり、誰ひとり返事ができず、空気が凍る。。。ガイドさん自身に場をまとめ盛り上げる力量がないのでは??帰りのトロッコ道では、後方からガイドさんのため息が聞こえる始末。せっかくの縄文杉ツアーなのに。。。
また、他のツアーが2〜4人で1グループだったのに対し、こちらのツアーは参加者8人。ガイドさんもまとめるのに苦労している様子がわかりました。
ガイドさんやメンバーは運に身を委ねるしかありませんし、相性もありますが、人次第で楽しくもつまらなくもなるのがツアーなのだと、痛感させられました。

I want to go again.
They answered my various questions politely. Thank you.
It was difficult to make a reservation, but I will check frequently.
The maintenance facility tour is informative when combined with it.

また行きたいです。
色んな事も質問に丁寧に答えて頂きました。
ありがとうございます。
なかなか予約取れなかったですが。
ちょくちょくチェックします。
整備場見学ツアーと連動すると学べる。

I learned about mangroves for the first time in detail. Thanks to the knowledgeable guide, I had a great time.

マングローブのことをはじめてちゃんと知りました。
詳しいガイドさんのおかげでとっても楽しめました。

It was a great tour that allowed us to visit so many attractions in just one day. The tour guide was very good at speaking and was able to communicate in Japanese, Chinese, and English, kindly assisting people from various countries. The bus driver was also skilled and friendly, making us feel safe during the ride. Personally, I was very satisfied. Thank you to the tour guide and the bus driver for your hard work!

一日でこれだけの観光地を周れるお得なツアーでした。添乗員さんも話し上手な方で日本語中国語英語と三ヶ国語を操り各国の方々に親切に対応していました。バスの運転手さんも運転が上手く気さくな方で安心して乗っている事ができました。わたくし個人、大変満足しました。添乗員さんバスの運転手さんお疲れ様、ありがとうございました。

Unfortunately, the weather was not great on the day, and we couldn't see the stars. During the jungle tour, our guide provided instructions and ensured our safety while also giving us various explanations, allowing us to enjoy the strong night jungle on our own. Later, the guide sent us photos and the names of the insects, making the follow-up perfect. The guide was polite, friendly, and professional, which made us feel at ease.

当日はあいにくの天気で星は見ることができませんでした。ジャングルツアーではガイドさんの指示の元、安全に気を使いつつ、色々解説もしてくださり、一人では強い夜のジャングルを楽しむことができました。後ほどガイドさんより写真とその虫の名前を送ってくださり、アフターフォローも完璧です。丁寧かつフレンドリーでプロフェッショナルなガイドさんで、安心してついていけました。

I was recommended by an acquaintance to join the tour, and I participated. The guide's explanations were easy to understand, and he pointed out great photo spots; his fluent English was also impressive. The amount of lunch and the time for free exploration were just right.

I heard that starting April 28, cars and buses can no longer access the observation deck, so we had to walk there... the uphill was quite tough, but the downhill was very easy. By the way, I heard there is a shuttle bus, but I don't think I saw it while I was in Shirakawa-go.

If I have the chance again, I would like to see Shirakawa-go in all four seasons. I look forward to your assistance then.

知人からツアーで行く事を勧められて参加しました。
ガイドさんのお話は分かりやすく、撮影ポイントなどを教えてくれ、流暢な英語も良かった。
ランチの量、自由散策の時間…丁度良かったです。
展望台へ車・バスの乗り入れが4月28日から出来なくなったとの事で徒歩で展望台へ…上りかなりキツめ(;´д｀)下りかなり楽ちん。
ちなみにシャトルバスは有るそうですが、白川郷に居る間は見かけなかった気がします。
また機会があれば、四季折々の白川郷をみたいです。またその時は、お世話になります。

I had chosen my own itinerary for the day, and left the details to the driver. The driver was great, friendly & responsive, and made excellent suggestions. He took me to purchase discount tickets, which wasn’t on my radar, and knew the best places to park & meet up. A great day with a great driver!! (I could tell that he was nervous at first about communication, but he was very relieved that I speak Japanese so we could communicate without issue.)
