All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

You can tour around Ishigaki Island in a short amount of time. I think it's good for those who want to make the most of their time efficiently. After that, it might depend on your compatibility with the guide.

ひと通り石垣島をめぐれます。
時間がなく効率よく回りたい方はよいと思います。
後はガイドさんとの相性でしょうか。

I participated because I wanted to go to the Gyokusendo Cave at Okinawa World! The staff's talk was entertaining, and I was impressed by the Gyokusendo Cave, spending a wonderful time there!

The only downside was that there wasn't enough time. The schedule was quite busy.

沖縄ワールドの玉泉洞に行きたくて参加しました！
スタッフさんのトークが面白く、玉泉洞に感動し、素晴らしい時間を過ごせました！

残念なのは、時間が足りなかった事です。
わりと忙しいスケジュールです。

I was so excited to finally go on the Blue Base Tour that I had wanted to attend for a long time. As soon as I entered Blue Base, I was grateful for the kind cabin attendants who answered my questions and assisted me. Unfortunately, we couldn't take photos during the tour, but I was moved to see the pilot simulator I had seen on TV actually in operation. The captain and co-pilot waved to us after finishing with the simulator, and I became even more of a fan of ANA because of their warm hospitality! Starting next year, my daughter will also become an ANA employee, and I hope she can work hard to become a part of this wonderful ANA team and be someone who can inspire others. Thank you for the enjoyable tour this time!

ずーっと行きたかったブルーベースツアーがやっと行く事が出来ワクワクしていました。
ブルーベースに入った途端優しいCAの方に色々聞いて対応して頂き感謝しております。
中でのツアーは残念ながら写真は撮れませんが、テレビで見たパイロットのシュミレーターが実際に動いていて感動しました。シュミレーターを終えた機長と副操縦士の方が私達に手を振ってくれたりと温かなANAの社員の心遣いに益々ファンになりました！
来年から娘もANAの社員となりお世話になりますが、是非この素晴らしいANAの方々の一員になれるよう頑張ってそして人を感動させる仕事が出来る人間になって貰いたいと思います。
今回は楽しいツアーありがとうございました。

It was a tour that allowed us to explore the Churaumi area in just one day. If you were to drive around in a rental car, you wouldn't be able to cover as much ground efficiently, so I highly recommend this tour. I think it can be enjoyed whether you're alone or with a group. If I had to mention something, the weather can have a significant impact. Fortunately, it was sunny during the tour this time.

１日でほぼ美ら海周辺観光出来るツアーでした。
レンタカーで回ると、ここまで効率よく回れませんので、おすすめツアーですね。
1人でも、複数人でも楽しめると思いますよ。
あえて言えば、天候が大きく影響すると思います。今回は、ツアー中は晴れで良かった。

We had the best time with Taka San - we felt like we were great friends by the end of our day in Kyoto. He immersed us in Japanese customs and traditions and thoroughly explained the nuances of each temple and shrine. His local knowledge made our experience in Kyoto better than we could have ever imagined. He even found us a great ramen spot for lunch - he even pushed my grandma in a wheelchair up a steep slope so she could see the beautiful temple. He is truly one of a kind - and we will call him every time we visit Kyoto and the surrounding area. Thank you, Taka San, for an unforgettable experience. The driving tour and his knowledge were so amazing! Having him drive us around and explain everything in such detail was such a special experience! Could not recommend him more!!

We spent two nights and three days on Yakushima with my sister and mother for our first visit! On the second day, we went trekking to Jomon Sugi, and on the third day, we were taken to Shiratani Unsuikyo! Both days were sunny, and our guides were truly wonderful people. My sister and mother felt more than just tired; we all thought, "I'm so glad we came!!" It was a very satisfying two days. They took many photos for us and shared recommendations and stories about Yakushima that you can't find in guidebooks! I had heard that the experience can vary greatly depending on the guide, but it's no exaggeration to say that our first trip to Yakushima became an unforgettable memory thanks to our guides!!! Thank you so much!!! We will definitely come back!!!

2泊３日で姉妹、母で初屋久島！！２日目に縄文杉トレッキング、３日目に白谷雲水峡に連れてっていただきました！！両日とも晴れ、またガイドさんが本当におふたりとも素敵な方で妹、母ともに疲労感以上に「来てよかったね〜！！」と大満足な2日間でした。写真をたくさん撮っていただいたり屋久島のおすすめスポットやお話などガイドブックだけでは拾えない情報までたくさん教えていただきました！！ガイドさんによって楽しめるかが全然変わってくるとは聞いていましたが、初めての屋久島旅行が最高な思い出になったのはガイドさんのおかげと言っても過言ではありません！！！本当にありがとうございました！！！絶対またいきます！！！

Despite being just over an hour long, the bus tour felt like an attraction. It was very enjoyable. It was great to see Tokyo Tower from various angles, and the strong winds at Rainbow Bridge were quite an experience. You don't get to experience that often.

1時間あまりの、バスツアーにも関わらす、
まるでアトラクション。
とても、楽しかったです。
東京タワーがいろいろな角度見れたのもよかったし、レインボーブリッジの強風。
なかなか体験できませんよ。

From the initial confirmation to the day of the event, I felt reassured as I entrusted everything to you. During the journey, you were flexible in accommodating changes to our destination, and you subtly provided additional information based on the flow of our conversation, which created a perfect balance in our interaction. The costs were clearly presented, both for online payment and for on-site settlement (extension fees and tolls), making everything easy to understand. Thank you very much!

事前の確認から当日まで、丁寧にご対応頂き安心してお任せすることが出来ました、
道中も行先の変更など臨機応変にご対応いただいたほか、我々の会話の流れからそっと補足情報を入れてくださるなど、距離感が絶妙で良かったです、
費用もネットでの支払いと現地での精算(延長費用や高速代)をはっきり提示いただき、分かりやすかったです。
ありがとうございました！

Review:
The guide was very kind and explained points that we might have missed on our own, allowing us to fully enjoy Jomon Sugi. The pacing was also perfect. On the day of the tour, there were school trip students participating, and we expected the path to be crowded. However, thanks to the guide's consideration of the pace, we were able to proceed smoothly and thoroughly enjoy Jomon Sugi and the Wilson stump. Additionally, we had some extra time, so we were taken to the guide's recommended spots as a detour. Overall, I’m glad I participated in the tour. I believe beginners should definitely join a tour.

Note:
Since the group consisted of 5 to 6 people, it was necessary to match the pace of others while climbing. Therefore, those who are not confident in their physical fitness or do not exercise regularly should prepare to some extent before participating to fully enjoy the tour.

感想:
ガイドの方がとても親切にしてくださりました。自分たちだけだと見逃してしまいそうなポイントも、しっかりと説明して下さったおかげで、縄文杉を満喫することができました。また、ペース配分も完璧でした。当日、修学旅行生も参加しており、道中混雑することが予想されました。しかし、ガイドの方がペースを考えてくれたおかげで、戦闘を進むことができ、縄文杉やウィルソン株をしっかりと堪能することができました。さらに、時間に余裕ができたので、寄り道として、ガイドの方のおすすめスポットに連れて行ってもらいました。総じてツアーに参加して良かったと思います。また、初心者の方は絶対にツアーに参加するべきだと思います。

注意点:
他の参加者も含めて5~6人のグループになり、登山するため、周りのペースに合わせる必要があります。なので、体力に自信のない方、日頃運動しない方は、ある程度準備をした上で参加した方が、ツアーを満喫できると思います。

The conductor changed midway, and depending on individual participation, there were variations in the admission fee. Despite having participants from overseas, the proceedings were smooth and it was very good.

途中でコンダクターの方が入れ替わったり
個々の参加形態によって拝観料有無しがあったり
海外からの参加者がいらしたにもかかわらず
進行がスムーズで大変良かったです。

The stay time at Shiroi Koibito Park is too short at just 30 minutes. It's almost dangerous to line up at the register and shop. The outer market is too short for dining and too long for shopping. I think it would be more satisfying to extend the stay time at Shiroi Koibito Park and exclude the outer market.

白い恋人パークの滞在時間が30分と短すぎます。
レジに並んで、買物するのも危ないぐらい。
場外市場は、食事するには短く買物するには長い。
場外市場を外して、白い恋人パークの滞在時間を長くしてくれたほうが
満足度は高いと思う。

I found a tour while urgently looking for one to explore the sightseeing spots by myself in the morning! With a tour, you have to make it to the starting point and time to participate, but since you can hop on and off freely, I thought it was convenient to go wherever I wanted at any time, so I made a reservation.

After 3 PM, there was about an hour gap until the next bus at one sightseeing spot, so I felt a bit disappointed that there weren't earlier buses to visit more places. I also thought it would be even better if there were options for reverse routes!

午前中にひとりで観光地を回ろうと急遽、ツアーを探していたところ見つけました❣️
ツアーだと開始場所や時間に間に合わないと参加出来ませんが、乗り降り自由なので、時間もいつからでもで行きたいところだけ行けるのが便利と思い予約しました。
午後3時過ぎは1観光地で次のバスが１時間くらい空くのでもう少し早いバスがあるともっと回れたかもと、ちょっと残念なのと、逆回りがあるともっと便利でいいなぁと思いました❣️

I usually don't exercise and wasn't confident in my physical fitness, so I honestly participated with some anxiety about whether I could really enjoy it. However, thanks to the guide, it became a very memorable trekking experience. Along the way, I enjoyed beautiful scenery, and the guide took some wonderful photos and played games with us, allowing us to have fun the entire time (though my legs felt like sticks from lack of exercise...).

At first, I was hesitant about whether to request a guide, but I think if I hadn't had one, I would have given up along the way.

Thank you for a fun and valuable time.

日頃運動をしておらず、体力に自信がなかったので、正直ちゃんと楽しめるか不安な状況で参加したのですが、ガイドさんのお陰でとても思い出に残るトレッキングになりました。道中は美しい景色を楽しめた他、とても素敵な写真を撮影してくださったり、ゲームをしてくださったりと、終始楽しむことができました（運動不足で足は棒のようになりましたが…）。
最初は、ガイドさんをお願いするかも迷っていたのですが、恐らくガイドさんがいなかったら、途中で心が折れてたと思います。
楽しい、貴重な時間をありがとうございました。

I wanted to visit ANA's training facility for their work, and I made a reservation, but I was unable to visit due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I'm so glad that I finally got a reservation for November 8th this year! The training facility was off-limits for photography, but I was able to see facilities like the flight simulator and water landing training that I had only seen on TV, which was great! The staff at ANA provided kind and thorough explanations, which was also wonderful! After the tour, I purchased several original goods displayed at the entrance, and I recommend all of them!

ANAのお仕事の訓練施設を一度見学したくて予約をしましたが、コロナ渦で見学も出来ず困っていましたがやっと今年の11月8日に予約が取れて良かったです!!訓練施設は撮影禁止でしたが、フライトシュミレーターや着水訓練施設などテレビでしか見られなかった施設が見る事が出来て良かったです!!ANAの案内スタッフも親切丁寧な説明で良かったです!!見学を終えて入口に展示されていたオリジナルグッズも何点か購入しましたがどの商品もお勧めです!!

It was great! I had a wonderful time relaxing and enjoying the whole day. The lunch was delicious too. I was able to buy a lot of souvenirs. The guide, who had a pleasant voice and was both cute and reliable, along with the cheerful driver, were fantastic.

Two flustered older ladies caused a bit of trouble. When I go again with my daughter, I would love to take the bus tour again.

良かったです♪
丸一日を、楽して、めいっぱい楽しませていただきました。お昼ご飯も美味しかったです。
お土産もいっぱい買えました。
声の涼やかな、可愛くて頼り甲斐のあるガイドさんも、にこやかな運転手さんも、素敵でした。

オタオタしたオバサン（オバアサン？）2人が、ちょっとご迷惑かけました。
次に娘と行く時も、また、バスツアーで回りたいです。

Positive aspects:
The tour guide was bright, fun, and friendly—absolutely the best! According to the guide, they were the oldest among the guides. There were elderly participants on the tour, but the guide was considerate enough to ensure that their slower pace didn’t create any pressure (I also wasn't confident in my stamina, so it was actually a perfect pace for me). During lunchtime, they made hot miso soup, which warmed both my heart and body. Thanks to the enjoyable conversations, even strangers among the participants became friendly, and despite the challenging journey, everyone was able to complete the Jomon Sugi tour safely and happily. Thank you very much.

Negative aspects:
I had my own hiking gear, but anticipating it would get dirty from the rain, I joined a tour that included rentals (backpack, shoes, raincoat). Therefore, upon arriving at Yakushima Airport, I was told there would be someone with a whiteboard, but there was no one there. When I looked around, I found a whiteboard with my name propped up at the exit. I waited there for 15 minutes. Finally, the person in charge arrived, saying they were "guiding another person." Since I had provided my phone number, I would have appreciated a call if no one was there. Additionally, there was a fitting afterward, but I was told to wear the socks I would use on the hiking day to try on the shoes, which meant I had to take them out of my suitcase unexpectedly. I had to open my suitcase outside (at the airport exit) to put them on before fitting the shoes. I mentioned this to the staff, but if socks were necessary, I would have liked to have been informed during the phone call three days prior so I could pack them in advance.

Overall, there was a significant gap between the quality of the tour on the day and the level of service for the airport pickup and fitting.

よかった点:
ツアーガイドさんが明るく楽しくフレンドリー、とにかく最高でした！ガイドさん曰く、一番年長のガイドとのこと。ツアー内にご年配のかたがいましたが、ご本人たちの歩みがゆっくりであってもプレッシャーにならないようなご配慮をされるかたでした（私も体力に自信がなかったので、かえってちょうどいいペースでした）。ランチタイムには熱々の味噌汁を作ってくださり、心も体も温まりました。楽しいトークで見知らぬ参加者同士も仲良くなり、辛い道中も和気あいあい、楽しく無事に全員が縄文杉ツアーを終えることができました。ありがとうございました。

よくなかった点:
登山道具を持っていましたが、雨で汚れることを想定し、現地でレンタル（リュック、靴、レインコート）付きツアーに参加しました。そのため、屋久島空港到着時、『ホワイトボードをもった会社のかたがいる』と聞いていましたが、実際はおらず、周囲を探すと、私の名前が書かれたホワイトボードが出口に立てかけてありました。その場で待つこと15分。やっと担当者がやってきましたが、『もう一人のかたを案内していた』とのこと。携帯電話番号を渡していたので、もし誰もいないのであれば、電話一本欲しかったです。また、その後、フィッティングがあったのですが、登山当日に履く靴下を履いて靴を合わせるように言われ、まさかのスーツケースから取り出しとなりました。スーツケースを屋外（空港の出口）で開けさせられ、履いてから靴のサイズ合わせがありました。担当者のかたにも伝えましたが、もし靴下が必要であれば、3日前の電話時、事前に持ち込み荷物に入れておくことができたので、教えて欲しかったです。

よくもわるくも、当日のツアーのクオリティと、空港の出迎え&フィッティングのレベルの落差が大きかったです。

I had been refraining from traveling since the pandemic, but I decided to start again this year. For now, I thought I would stick to domestic travel, aiming for the autumn leaves in Shirakawa-go, which I've always wanted to see. I wanted to avoid crowds, so I planned my visit on a weekday.

Since I'm coming from Sapporo, I was unsure whether to depart from Nagoya or Kanazawa, but choosing Kanazawa turned out to be the right decision. It had been a long time since my last visit, and I was surprised at how modern it has become. I really enjoyed walking around.

As for the tour to Shirakawa-go and Gokayama, the guide was absolutely wonderful, and I learned a lot. There were also foreign participants, so the explanations were provided in both Japanese and fluent English. It was a great opportunity for me to learn how to convey information in English as well (laughs).

It rained a bit, but the autumn leaves were stunning, and there was plenty of time for free exploration, which made the experience truly enjoyable.

Thank you very much. I highly recommend this tour.

コロナ下になってから旅行を控えていましたが、今年から再開。今のところ国内かなと思い、念願の白川郷の紅葉を狙っていました。人込みを避けたいので平日に。
札幌からですから、名古屋発にしようか金沢発にしようかと迷い、金沢にして正解。昔一度行ったきりですが、随分モダンに変わったのですね。散歩しても楽しかったです。
肝心の白川郷・五箇山行きのツアーですが、ガイドさんがとても素晴らしく、大変勉強になりました。外国の方も参加されていたので、日本語・流暢な英語で説明してくださいました。これを英語ではこう伝えるのだなと英語の勉強にもなりました（笑）。
ちょっと雨は降りましたが、紅葉が素晴らしく、且つ自由散策の時間がたっぷりとられていて、本当に堪能できました。
ありがとうございました。
お勧めのツアーです。

I contacted them in advance to ask how the seating would be arranged since my family tends to get motion sickness. When I reached out, I was told that the seats were not assigned and that we would board in order. I thought it couldn't be helped and hoped there would be some available seats, but on the day of the trip, they had assigned seats and placed us in the very front.

The bus guide was very cute and young. She was also a great singer and seemed to be doing her best to entertain everyone, moving around the narrow bus with enthusiasm.

The tour was said to not include lunch, but they provided delicious sandwiches, which we ate on Kouri Island. It was a bit hectic, but I'm glad I participated.

家族が酔いやすいため、事前に席はどうやって決めるのか連絡しました。連絡した時、座席は指定ではなく、順番に乗ってねと回答が来ました。　それなら仕方がない空いてたらいいなぁと思っていたら、なんと当日は座席指定になっていて一番前にしてくれていました。
バスガイドさんはとても可愛らしくて若い方でした。歌も上手でしたし、狭い車内でパタパタ動き回っていて、一生懸命みんなを楽しませようてしているように感じました。
ツアーは、ランチなしとのことでしたが、美味しいサンドイッチを配ってくれて、古宇利島で食べました。ちょっと目まぐるしかったけど参加して良かったです

I participated in a one-day trip from Sapporo to Noboribetsu and Lake Toya.

At the beginning of November, especially, Asahiyama Zoo was closed, and there were limited tourist spots available. I was scared to use a rental car because I didn't know the road conditions, and moving around on my own would have been tough, so I opted for a bus tour, and I was very satisfied!

The weather was nice, and the infection control measures were thorough. All the participants listened carefully, and everyone adhered to the meeting times, which was great.

The tour guide was a veteran who provided just the right amount of recommendations for ramen and souvenirs, and shared various stories like a bus guide, which I could use for the subsequent sightseeing!

All the tourist spots were wonderful! The time allocated at each location was more than satisfactory for me, and the tour guide was always there to follow up in case anything happened, so I felt secure while exploring. On the way back, I expressed my preferences, and I was able to change my drop-off point to somewhere I liked.

On the way back, a deer suddenly jumped out and almost collided with the bus, but the bus driver handled it very carefully and skillfully, so although it was surprising, everything was fine!

My friend who joined me also said it was great to visit so many places on the bus tour!

I would like to use this service again next time.

札幌発登別洞爺湖1日満喫日帰りツアー に
参加しました。

11月の頭は特にですが旭山動物園がお休みしていたり観光名所に行けるところが限られており、
道路状況もわからないので怖くてレンタカーは使えず
自力で移動は辛いのでバスツアーにしましたが
大満足でした！

天気もよく、感染対策もしっかりしており
ツアー参加者もみなさんしっかり話をきいて
集合時間も守られていてよかったです。

添乗員の方もベテランの方で本当に丁度いい
案内(ラーメンやお土産）のオススメを教えてくださり
バスガイドさん並みに色々お話もしてくれて
その後の観光にも活用できました！

観光名所はどこも素敵な場所ばかりでした！
各場所の時間の確保も私には満足すぎるくらい
確保されており何か起きてもしっかり添乗員さんが
フォローされてたので安心して巡れました。
帰りも希望は出しましたが途中で変更して
好きな所で降りれました。

また帰り道に鹿が飛び出してきて
バスと追突しそうになりましたが
バスの運転手の方が本当に慎重に丁寧に対応し
運転していたのでビックリしましたが大丈夫でした！

一緒に参加した友人もバスツアーでこんなに沢山回れてよかったね！と喜んでいました。

また次回も利用する際は活用したいです。

My friends warned me that if I wasn't confident in my physical stamina, I should consider an overnight stay in the mountains instead of a day trip. Feeling a bit nervous, I decided to challenge myself with the day trip.

Once we started, I was overtaken by those who came later, and since I was in a group with women who took longer photo breaks, we progressed at a leisurely pace overall. In the end, I wasn't out of breath and could walk while chatting at a comfortable speed.

Everyone in the group was able to take photos at each spot (there was no need for only those in the front to take pictures while those in the back had to stop before the spot), making photo time a nice break.

Aside from the compatibility with the guide, the group's dynamics also matter. With a larger group, explanations while walking are hardly audible to those in the back, so I think it would be better to request a dedicated guide if possible. However, walking with people I met for the first time also allowed us to share a sense of accomplishment, which I think is a great aspect of travel encounters.

友人からは、体力に自信がなければ、日帰りではなく山中泊も検討すべきと脅され緊張しつつも日帰りにチャレンジささました。
スタートすると後から来る方に追い抜かされ、写真タイムが長めの女性たちと同じグループだったこともあり、全体的にゆっくりと進みました。
結果的には息が上がって喋れないという事はなく、会話しながら歩けるくらいの程よいスピードでした。
各スポットもグループ全員が写真を撮ることができ（前の方だけ撮って、後ろの人はスポット手前で撮らないと行けないなどなく）、写真タイムが程よい休憩になりました。
ガイドさんとの相性とは別に、グループの相性もあること、人数が多いと、歩きながらの説明は後列にはほぼ聞こえないことから、出来れば専属ガイドをお願いした方がよいかと思います。
ただ、初めましての方と一緒に歩くのも、達成感を共有できて、旅の出会いとしてよいとも思います。

I appreciated the thoughtful attention of the guide from the morning gathering! His calm demeanor and reassuring voice made for an enjoyable time. Of course, the mountain scenery in this season and the favorable weather also contributed, and I would like to challenge myself again on a trip with this guide.

朝の集合時から、ガイド氏の気配りの行き届いた対応に感謝！　
落ち着いた物腰、安心感を与えてくれる発声で楽しい時間でした。　
無論、この季節の山景色、好転に恵まれた天気もあり、再度このガイド氏の添乗旅行なら挑戦してみたい。

The autumn leaves matched beautifully with the gassho-zukuri buildings, and it was very lovely. Additionally, the tour guide was very accommodating, and the photos taken at the recommended spots became cherished memories. Thank you for a wonderful day.

紅葉と合掌造りの建物がマッチングし、とても綺麗でした。また、添乗員の方の対応良く、教えていただいた場所での写真は思い出に残りました。
楽しい1日が過ごすことができ、ありがとうございます。

I think the guide was truly wonderful. Not only did they introduce the tourist spots, but they also gently shared Okinawa's culture, legends, history, and folk songs. It was very educational. If there is another opportunity, I would love to do it again.

ガイドさんは本当に素晴らしいと思います。観光地の紹介だけではなく、沖縄の文化、伝説、歴史、民謡など、優しく紹介してくれました。勉強になりました。まだ、機会がありましたら、まだお願いします。

In the morning it rained, so unfortunately Lake Toya didn't look beautiful, but on the way, it was snowing at the mountain peak, and I was able to see the first snow of the year. I definitely recommend visiting the Bear Ranch. Feeding the talented bears was a lot of fun. They also changed the order of the tour to match the sunset at Lake Shikotsu, and the guide explained everything in a very clear and understandable way. I'm really glad I was able to go during the autumn foliage season. Since the main tourist attractions can be visited in one day, it was much more enjoyable than going by car. I would like to join a tour the next time I visit Hokkaido.

午前中は雨だったので、残念ながら洞爺湖は綺麗には見えませんでしたが、途中の山頂で雪が降っており、今年初の雪を拝むことができました。クマ牧場には是非行って欲しいです。芸達者な熊のエサやりがとても楽しかったです。支笏湖の日没に合わせて巡る順番を変更して下さったり、ガイドさんも丁寧に説明してて、とても分かりやすかったです。紅葉シーズンに行けたのがとても良かったです主要の観光名所が一日でみて回れるので、車で行くよりとても満喫することができました。また北海道を訪れる際は、ツアーで行きたいなと思いました。

The foreign person next to me across the aisle complained to the attendant, saying it was noisy and that they were going crazy, which ruined the end of my trip. As a Japanese person, I was enduring the foreign language, but if it’s going to be like this, I think they should have informed us in advance that there would be foreign passengers on board.

通路挟んで隣の外国の方が、アテンドの女性に
うるさい　気が狂いそうだ　と文句を言い
旅の終わりが台無しになりました
日本人の私が　異国語を我慢して聞いているのに
こんな感じなら
事前に、外国の方も乗車する事を告げるべきじゃないかと思いました

Hotel pickup at 4:30 AM, climbing starts at 6:00 AM.
The first 8 km is a gentle trolley path for transporting timber, taking just over 2 hours. From the Arakawa trailhead at 8:00 AM, we tackled the remaining 3 km with an elevation gain of 400 m, which took about 3 hours. The Forestry Agency has installed stairs on the steep cliffs, making the ascent take just over 3 hours. We arrived just before noon, and it was truly moving.
I thought I could return faster since I was going back the way I came after having an early lunch, but it still took me just under 4 hours to reach the goal.
In the end, I couldn't help but shout, "Goal!"

朝4:30ホテルピックアップ　6時登山開始
最初8kmは木材を運ぶトロッコ道(なだらか)を
2時間強　8時荒川登山口から残り3km 標高差400mのアタック3時間　林野庁が厳しい崖に階段をつけてくれており登り3時間強　昼前到着　感動
早弁食べて来た道を戻るくだりだからもっと早く帰れるかなと思ったが4時間弱かけてゴール。
最後思わず「ゴ〜ル！」と叫びました。

It was great to be able to tour the training facility and feel the work firsthand. I thought it was amazing to see the flight simulator in action. If they could have played some videos during the downtime, it would have been even more exciting. Since it was a special occasion, I wish they could have played "Another Sky" at the entrance—it turned out to be a wonderful day that renewed my longing for the sky.

訓練施設を見学できて仕事が肌感覚で感じられて良かったです。フライトシミュレータが動いていたわのが見れてスゴいなと思いました。訓練がない時は映像を少し流してもらうともっと興奮したかも。折角なのでエントランスでは思い切りアナザスカイを流してもらえればなぁ～空への憧れを新たにした素敵な1日になりました。

I was thinking of taking a day trip to Noboribetsu from Sapporo, and a friend advised me that a day bus tour would be a good option. After searching, I found this bus tour. I was a bit worried about how busy it would be, but I was able to make a reservation just three days in advance, and we participated as a group of four. We were able to enjoy sightseeing at wonderful places without any waste and in a very comfortable way! The female guide was kind, precise, and her stories were enjoyable. It was a perfect and fulfilling day on the day bus tour.

札幌から日帰りで登別方面に行きたいと思っていたところ、知人から日帰りのバス旅行がいいのではとアドバイスをもらい探したところ、
このバス旅行を見つけました。
こんなに忙しくて大丈夫かなと思いましたが、３日前なのに予約できて4人で参加しました。
とても無駄なく楽ちんにあちこち素晴らしいところを観光することができました！
ガイドの女性の方も親切で的確、お話も楽しくてよかったです♡︎ʾʾ
申し分のないよくばり日帰りバス旅行の一日でした。

You can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Japan Sea in Noto. There are many highlights scattered around, but you can easily visit them all by bus, which makes it very convenient. The buses are also very clean. Lunch was well-prepared and efficiently set up. The Noto bowl came with side dishes, was very filling, and quite luxurious. There are also souvenir shops scattered around, so you can do some shopping along the way.

I was able to experience the majestic nature, and since the weather was favorable, I had a warm and relaxing trip. However, the lighthouse and the Blue Cave involve a steep, long slope, so it might be a bit challenging for those with weak legs or low stamina.

能登にある日本海の美しい景色を眺めることができます。見どころが点在していますがバスで一気に回れるので、とても楽ちんでした。バスもとてもきれいです。お昼ご飯も準備よくセッティングされていて、効率がとても良いです。能登丼はおかずもついていて、ボリュームたっぷりで非常に豪華でした。お土産どころも点在しているので、ちょこちょこ買い物することもできます。
雄大な自然に触れることができ、お天気にも恵まれていたので、ぽかぽかとのんびりした旅をすることができました。
あとは灯台と青の洞窟は急な長い坂なので、足が弱い方、体力がない方はちょっと大変かもしれません。

Because there were only about 10-20% Japanese people on the bus, explanations were mostly in Chinese, with almost no explanations in Japanese. Additionally, the other bus had all Japanese passengers, so there were announcements from the tour guide, but there were none on our bus.

I was looking forward to riding the ropeway, but I was told we were going to the bear ranch, which I didn't want to go to, so I ended up staying at the foot of Showa Shinzan the whole time.

The other bus had explanations about not making it in time for the sunset at Lake Shikotsu due to the season, and they adapted by taking time here, but on my bus, we were told about the sweet potato dumplings at Lake Shikotsu, and we spent 45 minutes there in almost complete darkness and strong winds. Honestly, I felt unsafe and didn't know what to do.

Even though it was said that eating and drinking were not allowed on the bus, after an hour of riding, people were eating rice balls, and during breaks, they were buying and eating snacks. By the end, there were people drinking beer and having snacks. To be honest, I don't think I will participate in this again. However, I think it would be good for those who want to make friends with overseas travelers and have fun.

バスに日本人が1~２割弱だったため、中国語での説明が９割以上、日本語での説明がほぼありませんでした。また、現地でも　もう一台のバスは全員日本人だったためか添乗員さんの案内等ありましたがこちらのバスは全くなく・・
ロープ―ウエイに乗ることを楽しみにしていましたが、クマ牧場へと言われ、行きたくなかったので、昭和新山のふもとにずっといることになりました。
もう一台のバスは季節柄、支笏湖の夕日には間に合わないからとバスの中で説明等があったようで、ここで時間をとってと臨機応変に対応されていましたが、私が乗ったバスは支笏湖のいももちをといわれ、ほぼ真っ暗で強風だった支笏湖で４５分。正直いるところもなく身の危険も感じました。
バスの車内も飲食はだめだといっても乗車１時間後にはおにぎりを食べたり、休憩ごとに何かを買ってきて食べていたり、最後はビールとおつまみを食べている人もいました。　正直私自体は今後参加することはないと思います。海外の方と仲良くなって楽しみたいという方にはいいと思います。
