All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

I was able to visit various places in one day, making it a very fulfilling trip! Although the lavender season had ended, there were many other colorful flowers blooming, which were beautiful and more than satisfying. For lunch, I had the cheese fondue at Furano Wine House, which was exquisite—I would love to have it again! The bus rides were enjoyable as well, as I could admire the vast scenery of Hokkaido from the window. If I have the opportunity, I would like to join another tour. Thank you very much!

１日で色々なところに行けたのでとても、充実した旅になりました！
ラベンダーは時期が終わってしまったタイミングでしたが他にもカラフルなお花が咲いていてとても綺麗で十分満足できました。
ランチはふらのワインハウスで食べたチーズフォンデュが絶品でリピートしたいくらいです。笑
バスの移動時間も広大な北海道の景色が車窓から眺めていられるので楽しかったです。
また機会がありましたら別のツアーにも参加してみたいです。
ありがとうございました‼︎

I participated with my elementary school child during the summer vacation. Todai-ji, Kasuga-taisha, and Kofuku-ji are not that far from each other, but walking can be tough, so the bus tour was very convenient. Since it was a quick tour, the guide's explanations were excellent. We disbanded at Kofuku-ji, and the plan was to use the tickets we received on the tour to return to Nara Station via the local transit pass, but thanks to their kindness, those who wished were able to be taken back to Nara Station by the tour bus. It was a great help during the hot summer season.

夏休みに小学生の子供と参加しました。東大寺も春日大社も興福寺も、それぞれがそんなに遠くはないのですが、歩いていくとなると大変なのでバスツアーはとても便利です。ささっと短時間で周るツアーだけに、ガイドさんの解説が光りました。帰りは興福寺で解散、ツアーで頂いたチケットで各自路線パスを利用して奈良駅へ戻るプランでしたが、ご厚意で希望者は奈良駅までツアーバスで送って頂けました。夏の暑い時期でしたのでとても助かりました。

Unfortunately, the weather was rainy on the first day, so we started with the expectation of not seeing the stars. The guide also mentioned that it might not be good because of the clouds, but when we arrived at the stargazing point, we were able to see a magnificent starry sky spread out before us. I thought to myself, "This is what a perfect starry sky looks like." We were also able to see several shooting stars, which was moving. Additionally, we spotted owls, bats, coconut crabs, and hermit crabs, making the tour very enjoyable. Thank you very much.

あいにく1日雨が降ったりやんだりの天気だったので、星は諦めてのスタートでした。ガイドさんも雲が出てるからダメかなぁと言っていましたが、星空ポイントまで来るとなんと見事な星空が空一面に見る事が出来ました。満点の星空ってこーゆう事を言うんだなって思ったほどです。流れ星も何個も見る事ができ感動しました。他にフクロウやコウモリ、ヤシガニ、ヤドカリも見る事が出来とても楽しくツアーに参加することが出来ました。ありがとうございました。

As a beginner, I was quite anxious at first, but the staff were very kind and taught me well, and I realized that diving can be enjoyable even if you can't swim!

Thank you very much!

初心者なので、最初結構不安でしたが、スタッフの皆さんがとても丁寧に教えていただきまして、ダイヴィングは泳げなくても楽しめることを再認識しました！

本当にありがとうございました！

I've been to the main island many times, so honestly, there weren't any new places for me, but I wanted to visit the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium and Pineapple Park again, so I joined the tour. The guide was absolutely amazing! Their quick movements and consideration, plus their excellent English skills! It must be tiring to speak the same thing in Japanese and English twice...

One thing that concerned me was that we arrived at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium at a somewhat awkward time for the "Oki-chan Show." Since it was a bit far, moving from indoors to the show and back was hot. However, if I were to visit all these places on my own, it would be difficult and expensive, so I think the cost performance is excellent! 😊

何度も本島に行っているので、正直初めての場所はありませんでしたが、美ら海水族館と久しぶりにパイナップルパークに行きたくてツアーに参加しました。なんと言ってもガイドの方が最高でした！動きや配慮のテキパキさ、めちゃくちゃ英語が堪能！日本語、英語と同じ事を二回話すのは疲れるでしょうね…
一つ気になったのは、美ら海水族館に着いたのは「オキちゃんショー」には中途半端な時間だった事。離れているので屋内→ショー→屋内の移動暑かったー。しかし、個人でこれだけの場所を周るとなると大変だし高くつくしコスパは最高だと思います(^^)

This time, since it was a trip with my elderly parents, I wanted to minimize walking while still having a satisfying plan, and I found this course! The cruise was great, and the water buffalo cart and bus sightseeing were very good without unnecessary fatigue.

今回は高齢の両親との旅行だったので、なるべく歩かず、けれども満足行くプランでと思って探してヒットしたのがこのコースでした！
クルーズも良し、水牛車、バス観光と無駄に疲れることなく大変良かったです

I booked this tour for 5 people. The overall experience is alright. We are not able to see Mt. Fuji because of how cloudy it is. Our tour guide was nice. We felt we were rush a bit, each stop only lasted for an average of 30 mins

We visited Yakushima for a family trip. My parents are in their 50s, and my children are in their 20s. Since our family doesn't usually exercise much, we were honestly exhausted, but I'm glad we went! I think it's a place everyone should visit at least once in their lifetime.

Also, we hired a private guide, which was very helpful as they adjusted to our pace.

屋久島は家族旅行で行きました。
50代の両親、20代の子供です。
普段から運動はあまりしない家族なので、正直バテバテですが、行って良かったです！
一生のうち、1回は行くべき所だと思います。

また、貸切ガイドにしたので、私達のペースに合わせてくれ、とても助かりました。

The weather was not on our side, and due to rain from the morning, we couldn't go to Shiratani Unsuikyo as planned... However, despite the bad weather, thanks to our tour guide's arrangements, we were able to see Jomon Sugi! On the way back, I was worried that the heavy rain might cause the river to flood, but it turned out to be quite an experience trekking in such downpours, and there were some interesting moments.

The warm miso soup made by our guide warmed up my chilled body from the rain!

Next time, I want to take on Shiratani Unsuikyo again!

天気に恵まれず、朝から雨のため、予定していた白谷雲水峡は行けず・・・
しかし、なんとか悪天候の中、ツアーガイドさんの計らいもあって縄文杉は見に行きました！
帰りはどしゃぶりで川も氾濫するんじゃないかと心配でしたが、なかなか体験できない、土砂降りの中のトレッキングで、面白いところもありました

ガイドさんが作ってくれたあったかいお味噌汁が、雨で冷えた体を温めてくれました！

今度は白谷雲水峡をまたリベンジして行きたいです！

A recommended spot that rivals the factory night views is the gantry crane at Honmoku Pier. The sight of massive container ships loading and unloading containers, along with the orange lighting of the pier, is a must-see. Each time you visit, you'll see a different scene, making it great for photography enthusiasts as well.

工場夜景に負けないくらいのオススメスポットが本牧埠頭のガントリークレーン。巨大なコンテナ船にコンテナを積み下ろす光景や埠頭のオレンジの照明がは必見です。
何度乗っても毎回違う光景が見られるのでフォト派にもおすすめです。

I was looking for places to guide my colleague from China, and I found that Kiyomizu-dera and Kinkaku-ji were right along the route, so I participated. I was very satisfied because I could explore at my own pace and take my time.

中国からの同僚を案内しようと思い探していたら清水寺と金閣寺が丁度ルートにあって参加しました。自分のペースで見学して自分のペースでゆっくり回れたので大変満足しました。

Please be on time. The bus lives on time. You will find plenty of food to buy.

On the day, there were clouds coming and going, which made me anxious, but after a sudden downpour, it cleared up and we could see the Milky Way clearly. My 8-year-old daughter also says that her best memory from Miyako Island is the starry sky photo tour. Thank you!

当日は雲が出たり、引いたり、不安でしたが、雨がザッと降った後一気に晴れて天の川まではっきりと見えました。
8歳の娘も宮古島での1番の思い出は星空フォトツアーと言っています。ありがとうございました！

I signed up for the course on Saturday. I thought it would be a mountain road, but it wasn't like that at all, and I didn't get motion sickness. I had plenty of time to explore Shirakawa-go. I asked the guide for recommendations on sushi restaurants in Kanazawa and headed there afterward. It was very delicious. I would like to sign up again in a different season.

土曜のコースに申し込みしました。山道かとおもったけどそんなこともなく、酔わずにすみました。白川郷の散策は十分な時間がとれました。ガイドさんの金沢のお勧めお寿司のお店の情報をきいてそのあと向かいました。とっても美味しかったです。また違う季節に申し込みしたいです。

It was a tour with high cost performance, allowing us to visit famous spots on Ishigaki Island and enjoy meals.

On the day of the tour, the weather was bad, and we couldn't ride the glass-bottom boat; we also got rained on at the observation deck. However, the guide's stories were interesting, and the content was very satisfying.

We arrived at the airport around 1:30 PM. It was a great tour that allowed us to enjoy Ishigaki Island until the last minute.

石垣島内の名所を巡り、食事も食べられる
コストパフォーマンスが高いツアーでした。

当日は天候が悪く、グラスボートに乗れず、展望台では雨にも降られましたが、ガイドの方のお話しも面白く、十分満足いく内容でした。

空港には13:30頃の到着でした。
ぎりぎりまで石垣島を楽しむことができるとても良いツアーでした。

Great day tour to Mt. Fuji and several other attractions. Yukiko was a wonderful tour guide. I really appreciated the history and knowledge she shared about Japan and the sites we visited. I also liked that before stopping at each site she presented a map that provided a basic layout of the site. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes, bring a sweater or jacket for the Mt. Fuji visit and take lots of pictures!

The water buffalo carts, the buildings, and the people were all wonderful.

My stay on Taketomi Island was very short, so I felt a bit unsatisfied and definitely want to go back again.

水牛車も、建物も、人も全てよかったです。

竹富島の滞在が、すごく少なくて。。物足りなかったので、またぜひ行きたいと思いました。

Excellent tour, we took a trip on 27/8/19 and we got to experience Mount Fuji in all it’s glory, Shiraito falls was another highlight of the trip. Our guide Ms. Yuki Koh was so informative, we really learned a lot about the backgrounds/significance of each location and also about Japanese culture and history. Two thumbs up

The water buffalo on Taketomi Island was just as good as I expected. However, one disappointing thing was that despite checking in early to ride the water buffalo, I was skipped over several times. When I asked if it was my turn yet, I was told to wait a little longer, and then it turned out I had actually been forgotten. I was disappointed by the lack of enthusiasm from the staff at the reception.

竹富島の水牛は予想通り良かったです。
ただ一つ残念なのが水牛に乗るのに早く受付をしたのにも関わらず、何組にも飛ばされ、まだですか？と聞いたときにはもう少しお待ちくださいと言われ、それからまた待っていたら実際は忘れられていた。受付のやる気の無さにがっかり。

The guide was kind and it was very good. Although it was quite tough at times, I was greatly helped by the guide's stories and thoughtfulness. Yakushima's Jomon Sugi can be climbed by beginners, but it requires considerable physical strength. For those who don't usually hike, it's advisable to prepare for potential issues on the day (like sprains or muscle pain). It’s reassuring if others in the same group have similar experiences, but as a beginner, I felt I was causing some inconvenience to everyone (though no one said it was a bother). If you're concerned, I think a tour that allows for individual participation would be a good option.

ガイドの方が親切で、とてもよかったです。途中かなりしんどかったのですが、ガイドの方の話や心使いで随分救われました。屋久島の縄文杉は初心者でも登れますがかなりの体力がいります。普段登山をされていない人は、当日想定されること(ねんざ、筋肉痛)などの対応策は用意した方がよいです。同じグループの人が同じ経験をしているくらいでしたら安心ですが、初心者でしたのでみなさんにご迷惑かけることも多く(迷惑とは言われてませんが)申し訳ないなという気持ちになりました。気になる人は個別でいけるツアーでもいいと思います。

This trip was fantastic. The guide was one of the best I've come across. His english is exceptional and he had the whole tour in fits of laughter for most of the day. We unfortunately didn't get great weather but this was to be expected, he cannot control that! He was a caring guide who wanted everyone to get the most out of the trip and we all for sure did. In terms of the places we visited we spent enough time at each place to ensure we didn't lose interest. Lunch was fantastic, traditional Japanese cuisine. And to top everything off the value for money is phenomenal! There were some really expensive day tours but this came in a little cheaper and well worth it. Cannot recommend enough, great day out.

I went to Yakushima for a 2-night, 3-day trip. Since I only had a full day for trekking, I chose a greedy course that allowed me to visit both Taiko Rock and Jomon Sugi. (laughs)

I participated with a friend, and the guide took photos for us at the photo spots, so we didn't need a selfie stick! Even as a beginner, I managed to reach the top. However, there was a huge difference in fatigue afterward between my friend, who exercises regularly, and me, who doesn't exercise at all. So, those who don't usually work out should be prepared before participating. My legs felt like sticks for about three days after the climb. (laughs)

Both Taiko Rock and Jomon Sugi offered breathtaking views. Since it rained on and off, a raincoat is essential. If you don't have trekking shoes, it's better to borrow some. The shoes I borrowed didn't let any water in, even when walking through some muddy areas!

2泊3日で屋久島へ行きました。トレッキング時間も丸1日しか取れなかったので、太鼓岩と縄文杉どちらも行ける欲張りコースを選びました。笑
友達と二人で参加したのですが、ガイドさんが写真スポットに到着すると写真を撮ってくださるのでセルカ棒いらずでした！
初心者の私でもなんとか登り切ることができました。ただ、普段運動している友達と全く運動していない私とでは終わった後の疲労感にとてつもなく差があったので、やはり普段から運動していない方は覚悟を持って参加した方がいいです。私は登った当日から3日くらいは足が棒のようになりました。笑

太鼓岩も縄文杉も絶景でした。
雨が降ったり止んだり繰り返すのでカッパは必須です。トレッキングシューズがない方は借りたほうがいいです。私が借りたシューズは多少のぬかるみを歩いても全く浸水しませんでした！

Don't see the inability to land as a negative; instead, we were able to use that time to listen to a thorough explanation. There was no repetition in the information, and I enjoyed listening until the end.

上陸できないことをマイナスにしないで、その時間をゆっくり使って説明していただきました。説明が重複するようなことがなく、最後まで楽しくお話を聞けました。

Would definitely recommend this itinerary & tour! Our tour guide was friendly and service was great overall.

My stay this time was only for one day. I didn't have enough time to reach Jomon Sugi, so I enjoyed hiking to Shiratani Unsuikyo (Taiko Rock). The weather was clear with not a single cloud in the sky at the summit. It was unusually good weather for Yakushima, but it was fantastic.

今回の滞在は１日だけでした。縄文杉までは時間的に余裕がなかったので、白谷水雲峡(太鼓岩)までの登山を楽しみました。山頂に雲ひとつかからない快晴でした。屋久島らしからぬ好天でしたが、最高でした。

I was able to sightsee efficiently in a short amount of time, and I'm glad I participated. I thought it would have been nice to have more stops, but the convenience of not having to get off the bus was also a plus, so I recommend it.

短時間で効率的に観光出来、参加して良かったです。立ち寄り場所があればとも思いましたが、バスから降りない楽さもあり、おススメです。

The night of our reservation was quite cloudy, so we were able to reschedule for the next day! They sent us some really wonderful photos via LINE. Sitting on a rocky area with a mat laid out and holding still for 30 seconds was pretty tough. Since there were four of us in the family, it was 6,000 yen per person, totaling 24,000 yen. It would be great if they could offer a little discount for the kids... ^^;

予約してた日の夜は雲が多く、急遽次の日に入れていただきました！
とても素敵な写真をラインで送ってもらいました。
ゴツゴツの岩場にジョイントマットみたいなのを敷いてそこに座って30秒静止は、結構辛かったです。
家族4人だったので6,000円×4人で24,000円
子どもはちょっと安くしてもらえるとありがたいです、、、^^;

I had received the Google Maps directions to the beach on Kurima Island in advance, but it was incredibly dark, and I felt like I was experiencing a bit of a thrill before the shoot!

As I made my way through the narrow roads, I was relieved to see a few cars parked there.

I was worried that the clouds might affect the clarity of the starry sky, but the photographer guided us based on the sky conditions, which put me at ease.

This time, I requested a three-shot with my two children and their grandmother, and I think it became a wonderful travel memory! Thank you very much!

来間島の浜までのGoogleマップを事前に頂いていたのですが、とにかくかなり真っ暗で、撮影前に肝試し的なアトラクションを味わった気分でした！！笑

細い道を抜けて行くと、そこには数台の車が停まっていて、ホッとしました。

当日雲が出たりしていたので星空が綺麗に写るのか心配でしたが、カメラマンさんが空の状況を見ながら進めてくれたので、安心でした。

今回は、子供2人とおばあちゃんとの３ショットでお願いしたのですが、凄く良い旅の記念になったと思います！
ありがとうございました！！

We participated as a family of four!
On the way to the meeting point, we got a bit lost, but thanks to the smooth phone support from the staff at Tabiwaku Miyakojima, we safely arrived at the shooting location.
Under a sky full of stars that felt like being in a planetarium, with the precise instructions from the photographer, we were able to take amazing photos that we could never have captured ourselves as amateurs! We are very satisfied!
Thank you so much! m(_ _)m

家族４人で参加しました！
待ち合わせの場所に向かう途中迷ってしまいましたが、タビワク宮古島の担当の方のスムーズな電話対応で無事に撮影ポイントに辿り着きました。
まるでプラネタリウムの中にいるような満天の星の下、カメラマンさんの的確なご指示により、素人には決して撮ることの出来ない素晴らしい写真を撮って頂きました！大満足です！
本当にありがとうございました！m(_ _)m
