All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

I had no knowledge about Gunkanjima, but since it’s famous, my family and I decided to participate. The explanations were clear, and I learned why Gunkanjima was created, as well as specifics about the lives of the people who lived there, which was enjoyable. It was my first time in Nagasaki, and I was glad to have chosen the concierge who provided recommendations about Nagasaki's features and other tourist spots.

Being able to actually step onto the island and see the buildings from that time up close while receiving detailed explanations was moving. If I have the opportunity to visit Nagasaki again, I would love to participate once more. During the boat ride, there were continuous explanations and stories, and the animations were easy to understand. Thank you very much!

知識もなく軍艦島の知識が全く無い状態で
有名だから行こう！と家族で参加させて頂きました。
分かりやすい説明となぜ軍艦島が出来たのかと言う理由も分かり昔の人々の生活が具体的にも分かり楽しかったです。
長崎は初めてて、長崎の特徴や他の観光のお勧めも教えて頂きコンシェルジュさんを選んで良かったです。
実際に島に降りて目の前で当時の建物を見て具体的な説明も聞かせて頂き、感動でした。
また長崎へ行く機会があれば、再度、参加させて頂きたいと思います。
船での移動時もずっと説明とお話しをして頂きアニメーションも分かりやすかったです。
ありがとうございました

Last time, I visited the Valley of Gangala on the same tour, so this time I visited Okinawa World. It was closed during my previous visit, but I found it to be a very flexible tour since it allows for a split between the two adjacent facilities.

I recommend focusing on specific activities, as visiting the Habitats Garden and participating in craft experiences can take up a lot of time.

Perhaps due to the low number of participants (10 people) during the COVID-19 pandemic, there were fewer bus pickup locations than announced in the itinerary, and we ended up finishing earlier than planned. I was unsure whether to have them drop me off at the airport when I signed up for the tour, but I was able to enjoy sightseeing in Naha after getting off at the north exit of the prefectural office until my flight departure time. I was very satisfied with how I could fully utilize my time.

The bus guide was different from the last time, but just like before, they were very enthusiastic! They even sang folk songs, making the ride and facility visits a very enjoyable and fulfilling half-day experience.

Thank you very much!

前回、同じツアーでガンガラーの谷を見学したので、今回はおきなわワールドを訪問しました。
その時はおきなわワールドが休日だったので無理でしたが、隣接しあう2施設を回る為に途中解散も可能とのことで、とても融通の利くツアーだと思いました。

おきなわワールド内のハブ園を見学したり、工芸体験等すると時間が足りなくなるので、目的を絞って参加されることをお勧めします。

コロナ禍で参加者が少なかったのか（10名）、バスの送迎場所が公表の旅程より少なくて済み、予定より早めの解散となりました。
ツアー申込時は空港まで送ってもらおうか悩みましたが、県庁北口で降りて飛行機出発時間まで那覇観光を楽しむことが出来ました。時間をフルに有効活用出来て大満足です。

バスのガイドさんは前回とは違う方でしたが、前回と同じく、サービス精神旺盛！！！民謡まで歌って下さり、乗車中も施設見学中も、お陰様でとっても楽しく充実した半日を過ごせました。

ありがとうございました！

It was a storm strong enough to cancel boats, but around 7:30 AM, I received a call from the staff confirming that the tour would proceed, and I was able to participate safely. The itinerary changed from the original plan to canoeing to the waterfall and trekking in the limestone caves. There was also a refund due to the course change. The staff were very kind and explained the names and characteristics of the plants in an easy-to-understand manner. By participating in the tour, I gained a better understanding of Iriomote Island. Although it was stormy outside, once we entered the mangroves, I didn't feel the wind at all; it was calm and enjoyable. The rain wasn't too bothersome either, but next time I want to visit during the dry season and try other courses.

船が欠航するほどの暴風でしたが、7時30分ごろにスタッフから催行の電話があり、無事ツアーに参加することができました。当初の予定から変わり、滝までのカヌーと鍾乳洞のトレッキングとなりました。コース変更に伴い返金もありました。スタッフの方もとても親切で、一つ一つ植物の名前や特徴をわかりやすく教えてくれました。ツアーに参加することで、西表島のことがよくわかるようになりました。また、外は暴風でしたが、マングローブの中に入ると全く風を感じず、穏やかで楽しむことができました。雨もそこまで気にならなかったですが、次は乾季にを訪れて、他のコースにも挑戦したいです。

It was a night tour with a light drizzle, but the tour guide was kind and attentive. I was able to spot bats and coconut crabs, making it a satisfying tour.

雨がぱらつくナイトツアーでしたが、ツアーガイドさんも優しく気が利いていて。コウモリやヤシガニも探すことができ満足するツアーでした。

We departed from Naha City around 9 AM to arrive at the sacred site of Sefa Utaki, which opens at 9 AM. It was impressive to visit this representative holy place of Okinawa, where national ceremonies were held during the Ryukyu Kingdom era. Upon entering Okinawa World, we first explored the limestone cave, Gyokusendo, located underground. It took us about 25 minutes to walk through at a leisurely pace. Above Gyokusendo, there is a theme park area that recreates the castle town of the Ryukyu Kingdom, which we spent the remaining time exploring. We had enough time at both sites. Since no one got off at Naha Airport, we arrived at Kencho-mae around 1 PM. It would be difficult to visit these two places in the southern region on your own in half a day, so we were able to enjoy an efficient sightseeing experience.

朝９時から入場できる斎場御嶽にあわせて那覇市内を出発して９時頃に到着しました。琉球王朝時代に国家的な祭事が行われてきた沖縄を代表する聖地で見ごたえがありました。おきなわワールドに入場してまず地下にある鍾乳洞の玉泉洞を見学しました。ゆっくり歩いて２５分くらいかかりました。玉泉洞の上がテーマパークになっていて琉球王国の城下町を再現されたエリアを残りの時間を使って見学しました。両見学地で時間が足りなくなることはなかったです。那覇空港で下車する人がいなかったので、１３時頃、県庁前に到着しました。半日で南部のこの２カ所を自力でまわるのは難しいので、効率の良い観光ができました。

The bus provided a thorough explanation, and I was able to enjoy the journey without getting bored, thanks to the trees and local dialect along the way. They also point out interesting sights and photo opportunities during the trip. Whether you're a first-timer or a repeat visitor, you can have a great time.

バスの中で丁寧な説明、道中木々や方言など退屈なく過ごせました。
移動中も見所わ撮影ポイントや教えてくれます。
初めてのかたやリピートの方でも楽しく過ごせます。

On the second day of my Kanazawa trip, I was considering visiting Shirakawa-go for a full day of sightseeing, but I was worried about the transfers on the bus.

However, I found this tour, and it was sufficiently satisfying in terms of the itinerary, and the lunch was delicious. The guide's assistance was appropriate, and I was able to fully enjoy Shirakawa-go.

Thanks to the favorable weather, I had absolutely no complaints. The price of the tour felt very reasonable.

金沢旅行の２日目、朝から１日使った観光として、白川郷を考えていましたが、路線バスの乗り継ぎなど、うまくいくか不安でした。
そこで見つけたこのツアーですが、日程的に十分満足できるもので、昼食もおいしかったです。
添乗員さんの案内も適切で、白川郷を満喫することができました。
天候にも恵まれたため、全く不満はありませんでした。
ツアーの金額は十分お得な感じがあります。

I was glad to be dropped off at the airport in the end. I think it would be good to include that on the last day. However, the only place I really enjoyed was Kabira Bay, so I have doubts about the significance of participating.

最後に空港で降ろしてもらえたのがよかった。最終日に組み込むとよいと思います。
ただ行ってよかったのは川平湾くらいなので参加する意義があるのかというと疑問でした。

A few years ago, I visited Daishi Forest and Cape Hedo, but this time I participated because the course changed a bit, including a stroll through the mangrove forest. The buns and cheese tarts we had along the way were also very delicious. The lunch was tasty, and I thought I might want to go eat there again. The Okinawa rail was cute, and I wished I could have watched it longer. I'm very grateful to the driver and the tour guide. Thank you very much.

数年前に大石林山と辺戸岬には行きましたが、今回は、マングローブの森散策など、コースが少し変わったので、参加しました。途中で頂いた饅頭やチーズタルトも非常に美味しい食べさせて頂きました。昼食も美味しくて、また、食べに行こうかと思いました。ヤンバルクイナも可愛くて、もっと長く観ていたかったです。運転手さん、添乗員さんにも感謝、感謝です。有り難うございました。

I never expected that the heavy oil cracking facility would be the Mont Saint-Michel of Japan. I just recently visited the local site for a feasibility study at Toa Oil. The night view from the seaside is a heritage of Kawasaki. As a citizen of Kawasaki, I felt proud alongside Frontale.

まさか、重質油分解装置が、日本のモンサンミッシェルとは。
東亜石油には、つい最近に、フィージビリティスタディーで現地サイトに行ったばかり。 海側からの夜景は、川崎の遺産。川崎市民としてフロンターレとともに誇りに思った。

First of all, the tour content is wonderful. It's a bit different from other tours. We were also blessed with good weather. The combination of the audio guide and the tour guide was great. The interaction between the driver and the guide was entertaining as well.

As a piece of advice, when moving from the Churaumi Aquarium to other facilities, using the in-park bus can save time. I visited the Churaumi Aquarium, the botanical garden, and the cultural center.

If the restaurants are not crowded, having lunch on Kouri Island can save time.

Also, since we arrived in Naha City late, I think having dinner in Chatan is a good idea.

Overall, I really enjoyed it.

まず、企画内容が素晴らしい。他のツアーと、少し違います。そして、お天気に恵まれました。自動音声ガイドと、ツアーガイドさんの併用もいいとこ取りで良かったです。
運転手さんとガイドさんの掛け合いも、面白かった。
アドバイスとしては、美ら海水族館から他の施設に移動する際には、園内のバスを使うと時間短縮になります。私は、美ら海水族館、植物園、文化館と回りました。

お店が混んでいなければ、古宇利島でお昼を食べると時間の節約になります。

また、那覇市内に到着の時間が遅いので、北谷で晩ごはんを食べるのもいいと思います。

とにかく、楽しめました。

The round trip shuttle bus took just under 2 hours and was quite crowded... I was able to see a lot of wildlife.

行き帰りの合計2時間弱の送迎バスが
満員でかなり密でした…。
生き物はたくさん見られました。

I thought the tour would involve a guide explaining various things at each location, but in reality, we were able to set our own meeting times and explore at our own pace. It was especially nice to take our time at Fushimi Inari Taisha. Thanks to this opportunity, I mentioned to my mother that I would like to spend a whole day leisurely exploring Fushimi Inari Taisha next time.

We were able to visit Kiyomizu-dera right after its restoration was completed, and we could also explore at our own pace there. This time, we couldn't visit Kinkaku-ji due to restoration work, but instead, we went to Ryōan-ji. There, we were able to take our time admiring the garden and taking photos, which was great.

ツアーは添乗員さんが、各地でいろいろ説明していくものと思っていましたが、実際は集合時間を決めて自分たちのペースで思い思いに行動できたこと。特に伏見稲荷大社をゆっくりと回れたのはよかったです。
この機会をもらったおかげで、母と今度は一日かけてゆっくりと伏見稲荷大社を回りたいとはなしていました。
清水寺はタイミングよく修復完了した後にお参りができて、こちらも自分のペースでまわれました。
今回金閣寺は修復のため、拝観できなったのですが、代わりに竜安寺に。
こちらではお庭をじっくりと眺め、写真を撮ることもできてよかったです。

Although it was a short time, I was able to enter the jungle and encounter snakes and coconut crabs! With a pen-shaped light in hand, I descended a simple slope in the jungle towards the sea. I think searching for coconut crabs while being guided by our guide about the plants and animals of Iriomote Island is a unique activity of the island. The baby gecko was incredibly cute! It was a pity that I couldn't see the stars since December is the rainy season, which tends to have many cloudy and rainy days.

短い時間ですが、ジャングルの中に入り込みヘビやヤシガニと遭遇できました！
ペン型ライトを持って、ジャングルの簡単な坂道を下りながら、海を目指します。ガイドさんに西表島の草木や動物について案内頂きながら皆んなでヤシガニを探すのは西表島ならではのアクティビティだと思います。ヤモリの赤ちゃんがとっても可愛かったです！
12月は雨季のため、曇りと雨が多いシーズンとの事で星が見えなかったのは残念でした。

First, we took a bus to the coast. I was half-expecting to see nocturnal animals, and it started with a welcome from a habu snake, followed by hermit crabs, crabs, and fireflies. This was just the beginning, as we also encountered giant bats and even coconut crabs. The guide discovered a particularly impressive giant coconut crab, which delighted everyone, especially the kids. Before we set off, they provided strong flashlights and insect repellent, and since the guide led the way, we felt safe even with the habu around.

Next, we went up to a hill overlooking Ishigaki Town. We were supposed to observe the starry sky here, but unfortunately, it was cloudy. Although we only got an introduction to the constellations in our imagination, we learned that Ishigaki makes efforts to reduce streetlights to enhance the visibility of the night sky, which made me want to visit again. From this spot, we could see the night view of Ishigaki City, making it easy to identify supermarkets and shopping districts.

On the way back to the city, we observed an owl that we heard calling from the hilltop sitting on a power line. During the bus ride, the guide shared various stories about Ishigaki, including their experiences living there, making the two hours enjoyable without a dull moment.

Even with a rental car, it takes courage to go out with kids at 8 PM, but with a tour, it's reassuring. Especially recommended for those with small children.

まずバスに乗って海岸へ。夜行動物がそんなに見れるかなと期待半ばでしたが、ハブのお迎えに始まり、ヤドカリ、カニ、ホタル、このあたりは序の口で、巨大なコウモリ、さらにヤシガニも登場しました。特にヤシガニは小さなのにつづき、迫力ある巨大サイズをガイドさんが発見し、一同大喜び。子どもにはたまらんでしょう。出発前に光の強い懐中電灯や虫除けスプレーを用意してくれていますし、ガイドさんが先導してくれるのでハブがいても安心です。
次に石垣の町を見下ろす丘の上へ。ここで星空観察のはずでしたが、残念ながら曇天。イメージだけの星座紹介ですが、石垣は夜空がきれいに見えるよう、街灯を極力減らす努力をしているなど、環境面の説明を受けると、もう一度来てみたいとの気持ちに。石垣市街地の夜景を一望できるので、スーパーや繁華街がよくわかります。
市街地へ戻ると途中は、丘の上で鳴き声を聞いたフクロウが、電線にいるのを観察。バス車内では、ガイドさんが在住経験含め、石垣のあれこれを語ってくれるので、飽きることのない2時間です。
レンタカーがあっても、夜8時から子連れで野外に出かけるのは勇気が必要ですが、ツアーなら安心です。ハブも出ますしね…。小さな子どもを連れた方々には特におすすめです。

I was moved to see Jomon Sugi, and the trekking was also fun. On the way down, perhaps because we had time, we enjoyed various detours and played around, which made it enjoyable. Thank you, guide!!

縄文杉を見れた感動もありましたが、トレッキングも楽しかったです。下りは時間があったからか、いろいろ寄り道?しながら、遊びながら下ったので楽しかったです。ガイドさんありがとう!!

I took a ride on a small boat and enjoyed the night view of the Keihin Industrial Zone. Rather than a romantic atmosphere, it had a casual impression, but it was a rare experience to see the factory nightscape up close.

小型のお船に乗って、京浜工業地帯などの夜景を見ました。ロマンチックな雰囲気のいうよりはカジュアルな印象ですが、工場の夜景を直近で見たり滅多にできない経験をさせていただきました。

We participated as a couple in our 70s and 60s. The hiking trail, filled with rocks and tree roots, was quite exhausting. We were out of breath going up and had to stop frequently, and going down, our legs wouldn't cooperate, causing us to trip often. Without the guide's help, I think we would have had to retire partway through. The forest of Yakushima is truly wonderful, and it can only be felt by walking through it yourself. I wish I had gone when I was younger and had more stamina, but thanks to the private guided tour we arranged this time, we were able to make it back and forth to Taiko Rock safely. Thank you for accommodating our many requests.

70と60の夫婦で参加しました。岩と石、木の根っこがはびこる登山道はかなり疲れました。上りは息があがり立ち止まってばかり、下りは足が思うように上がらず躓いてばかり。ガイドさんの助けがなかったら途中でリタイアしていたと思います。屋久島の森は本当に素晴らしく、それは自分で歩いてこそ感じられるものでした。もっと体力のある若い時に行っておけばよかったと思いながら、今回、貸切ガイドツアーをお願いしたおかげで無事に太鼓岩まで往復できました。たくさん我が儘も聞いていただきありがとうございました。

It turned out to be a very enjoyable day. I was anxious about how things would go with the bad weather, but I was welcomed by the cute water buffaloes, creating wonderful memories. Since I could choose my own return boat time, after touring the village with the water buffaloes, I was able to rent a bicycle from the neighboring building and go to the beach and some nearby places. I recommend bringing a raincoat as it seems to rain a lot during this season. Even when it rained along the way, I had no problem riding the bicycle thanks to the raincoat. I would like to visit again on a sunny day.

とても楽しい一日になりました。
天候が悪い中どうなるかと不安でしたが、、
可愛い水牛さん達にに迎えられステキな思い出となりました。帰りの船の時間が自分で選べるため、水牛さんとの村観光の後、隣の建物て自転車を借りてビーチや少しはなれた場所まで行くことも出来ました。
いまの時期は雨が多いそうですので雨ガッパをお持ちになることをお勧めします。途中雨が降っても雨カッパのおかげで問題なく自転車に乗れました。
今度は晴れた日に又訪れたいです。

The tour guide and the local guide at the Gangala Valley were both very skilled at explaining, and I was very satisfied with the tour itself. However, someone else who participated in the same tour and booked through a different site was able to use other discounts and even had a free option included, so I felt like I missed out a lot. I will make sure to compare other sites more before making a reservation next time.

ツアーガイドも、ガンガラー谷の現地ガイドもすごく説明上手でツアー自体はとても満足でした。
しかし、同じツアーに参加していた別のサイトで予約した方は他の割引も使えており、さらに無料のオプションも付いていたので自分はすごく損をした感じでした。
もっと他のサイトも見比べて予約するようにします。

I researched various options to make the most of our last day. We found a half-day tour around Ishigaki Island. Our flight was at 14:50. The tour included a guide, lunch, and transportation to the airport. The guide's entertaining conversations and Okinawan folk songs made the experience enjoyable. We arrived at the airport by 13:30. It turned out to be the best final day.

最終日無駄なく過ごす為色々調べました。有りました。私達は14:50発のフライトでした。石垣島一周半日ツアー。ガイド、ランチ、空港まで・・ガイドのおじさんの楽しい会話、沖縄民謡、空港には13:30到着。
最高の最終日になりました。

The guide at the Valley of Gangala had a connection to Shizuoka, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I was surprised that the bus on the day before and the day before that had WiFi, but the conductor from Toyo Bus sang Okinawan folk songs and performed a paper play, which was a lot of fun. I thought it was nice to have these traditional bus tours. The timing was perfect for returning to the city just as we got hungry after half a day!

ガンガラーの谷の、ガイドさんが静岡と縁があって、より楽しく参加できました。前々日と前日のバスがWiFi有リだったので、無しって！？思ったのですが、「東陽バス」のコンダクターさんが沖縄民謡を歌ってくれたり紙芝居をしてくれたり、楽しくて。こういった、昔ながらのバスツアーもイイなって思いました。半日でちょうどお腹がすくタイミングで、街中に戻る行程もイイですね！

You can take a tour around Ishigaki Island. It was my first trip to Ishigaki Island, and I was able to enjoy it in a short amount of time. The guide was a local, and their stories were interesting, so I never got bored. Lunch was included, and it featured small dishes that allowed us to taste a bit of the local cuisine, which was also tailored for tourists.

It was unfortunate that the weather was bad, but even with that, I had a great time. I recommend it for beginners.

石垣島を一周出来ます。初めての石垣島旅行でしたので、短い時間で楽しめました。ガイドさんは地元出身の方で、話も面白く、退屈しませんでした。昼食付きでしたが、昼食は、地元のものが少しずつ味わえる小鉢付きで、そちらも観光客向けでした。
天気が悪くて残念でしたが、それを差し引いても、楽しめました。ビギナーにはオススメです。

My first trip to Kanazawa. I never expected Shirakawa-go to be so close. I was lucky to visit this UNESCO World Heritage site that I had always wanted to see. I was able to stroll around at a leisurely pace, and the food was delicious, which made my friend who accompanied me very happy as well.

初めての金沢旅行。まさか白川郷がこんなに近いとは。いつか行きたいと思っていた世界遺産に行けてしまいラッキーです。散策もゆっくりでき食事も美味しくて、同行した友人も喜んでいました。

I want to participate again! The tour guide was cheerful and had a great vibe. During the ride, they provided various recommendations for restaurants and local specialties, which was very nice. However, it would have been perfect if they could have included one more sightseeing spot in the itinerary since there was enough time.

もう一度参加したい^_^
添乗員も明るくていい感じでした。
車内、移動中も食事におすすめ店や名産品など色々案内してくれてとても良かったです。
ただ時間に余裕あるからもう一箇所観光スポットを行程に入れてくれば最高^_^

My first visit to Shirakawa-go. It seems that snow had piled up the day before, creating a wonderful view. Since my daughter was wearing sneakers, our guide kindly provided us with plastic bags, which we used to cover our socks. The local cuisine we enjoyed in Shirakawa-go was also very delicious. The experience of making rice crackers was quite unique. During the bus ride, we were given tips about delicious restaurants and hidden gems, which really helped us the next day. Thank you very much!

初めての白川郷。前日から雪が積もったらしく、素晴らしい景色でした。娘がスニーカーでしたので、ガイドさんからビニール袋をいただき、靴下の上から履くという知恵も授かりました。白川郷でいただいた郷土料理もとても美味しかったです。
お煎餅焼きの体験、なかなか貴重なものでした。
バスの中でのお話で、美味しいお店や穴場も教えていただき、それが翌日とても助かりました。
本当にありがとうございました。

It's a warm and inviting tour! Even though it was a rainy day, the driver held an umbrella for us until we got on the bus, and the guide shared great recommended spots. I'm glad I signed up!

とにかく雰囲気が暖かいツアーです！
雨の日でしたがドライバーさんがバスに乗るまで傘さしてくれたり、ガイドさんおすすめのスポット教えてくれたり、申込してよかったです！

As a resident of Kyushu, I had always dreamed of seeing the snowy Shirakawa-go. I was very happy to see the beautiful Shirakawa-go, especially since just a week ago there was no snow at all. The male tour guide's stories were enjoyable and helpful for my trip to Kanazawa, and the service from everyone, including the driver, was excellent. The experience of making rice crackers in Toyama was also fun. It became a wonderful memory, and I’m glad I participated. Thank you very much.

九州在住の私は雪の白川郷は憧れでした。今回一週間前には1ミリも無かった雪が降ってくれて素敵な白川郷を見ることができとても嬉しかったです。男性添乗員の方のお話も楽しく金沢旅行の参考になり運転手さんも含めてとても対応が良かったです。富山のおせんべい焼き体験も楽しかったです。いい思い出になり参加して良かったです、ありがとうございました。

I have been to Okinawa about 20 times, but it was my first time visiting Kouri Island and Manza Beach. Personally, the time allocation was just right. (Pineapple Park might have been a bit long.) I felt reassured that hand sanitizer was available everywhere. It was great that they picked me up from the hotel I was staying at and dropped me off at my destination hotel on the way back. Staying at multiple hotels while being able to sightsee and travel was the best experience.

沖縄には20回程行っていますが、古宇利島、万座毛は初めてでした。
個人的に時間配分は丁度でした。
(パイナップルパークは少し長かったかも)
消毒液が至る所にあり安心しました。
宿泊してたホテルにてピックアップ、帰りは目的のホテルまで送ってくれたのが良かったです。
複数のホテルに泊まり、観光もできて移動も兼ねられたので最高でした。

I participated in the tour that departed at 10:30. Before landing on Gunkanjima, we circled the island, but it was quite rocky, so those who are prone to motion sickness should take some anti-nausea medication. Gunkanjima is experiencing significant building collapse, but the scenery has a nice atmosphere and was better than I expected.

10:30発のツアーに参加しました。軍艦島上陸の前に、軍艦島を周回するのですが、かなり揺れるので、乗り物酔いしやすい人は、酔い止め薬を飲んでいた方がいいです。軍艦島は、建物の倒壊が進んでいますが、風景としては、いい雰囲気を出していて、思っていた以上によかったです。
