All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

We arrived to Yokohama on the day when it was raining profusely. The driver met us and immediately gave us a modified itinerary that was cancelling the 5th station on Mount Fuji, but added one more lake t visit. Since the driver did not speak English and we did not speak Japanese, such cancellation did not become obvious to us at the initial moment. We understood it when we were already delivered to the first lake which we could not really see because of the rain., not to mention the Mt. Fuji that was supposed to be seen on the other side of the lake. By the time we were brought to the Gotemba viewing point, the rain became not as strong and the sky started clearing a little. We still did not see Mt. Fuji at that point. Then the weather started clearing even more and by the time we arrived to the Yamanaka lake there were some hopes to see a little bit of the Mt. Fuji. Then the driver said that he will drive us to the 5th station in hopes that we will see FujuSun, but he will arrive to our final destination after 6, which was about 1 hour after the scheduled arrival . Since we had no plans to the evening, we readily agreed. The driver also said that he will not charge us for the overtime, which we appreciated a lot. The end result is: we saw Mt. Fuji, we made excellent pictures, we have seen more that was promised to us and the driver really tried his best to show to us his beautiful country, playing the traditional song for Mt. Fuji on his cell phone and then letting us listen to the part of the road that repeats the song while you drive on it!! It was a fascinating experience for all of us and there was no real language barrier felt. Thanks to Veltra for setting up such a nice trip and thanks to Radio Taxi for providing such a nice ride for us!

At the end of August, I applied about five days ago.
The time and location will be communicated after applying.

First of all, the starry sky at the shooting location is simply wonderful.
This is what a star-filled sky looks like.
I've never seen the Milky Way so clearly before.
It seemed even clearer than at Mauna Kea in Hawaii...
Just for this starry sky, it's worth participating.

The photos are amazing.
The finished product is very well done.
During the shoot, the photographer kindly gave instructions and listened to my requests for silhouette shots.
The photographer had both kindness and technique.

Lastly, the staff member who guided us to the shooting location and explained the data handover was very helpful.
They shared many recommendations for sightseeing in Miyako Island and were very attentive.
The next day, I immediately went to the recommended sightseeing spots and lunch.

Overall, I was very satisfied!

8月の終わり、5日前くらいに申し込みました。
時間や場所は、申し込んでから連絡がきます。

まず、撮影場所の星空がとにかく素敵。
満点の星空とはこのこと。
そして、こんなにくっきりと天の川を見たのは初めてです。
ハワイのマウナケアよりもよく見えたような。。
この星空だけでも参加する価値があります。

写真、これはすごいですね。
出来上がりはとてもよくできています。
撮影時も優しく指示してくれたり、
シルエット撮りの要望も聞いてくれたり、
カメラマンさんは、優しさとテクニックを兼ね備えてました。

最後に、スタッフの方。
撮影場所の案内とデータ受け渡しの説明をしてくれたスタッフさん。
宮古島観光のオススメをたくさん教えてくださり、
いろいろ親身になってくれました。
翌日はさっそくオススメの観光・ランチに行きました。

総合的に大満足でした！

I signed up for a tour since I was traveling alone and didn't have a driver's license. The bus was cool, and the guide entertained us a lot, teaching us things I didn't know along the way with the beautiful scenery. The driver also greeted us every time we got off. I left the tour due to my own circumstances, but they treated me with kindness until the end. I'm glad I participated. The highlight of the tour was gaining various information and learning about Okinawa's history. I would like to join again. Thank you very much.

ひとり旅で免許もないので、ツアーに申し込んでみました。
バスは涼しいし、ガイドさんは沢山楽しませてくださり、知らなかったことも道すがらの風景と共に教えてくださいました。運転手さんも降りるたびに声を掛けてくださいました。
私の都合で離脱しましたが、最後まで丁寧に接してくださいました。
参加して良かったです。
ツアーの醍醐味は、色々な情報や沖縄の歴史などを得られることです。また参加したいと思いました。
どうもありがとうございました

I enjoyed riding a boat on Lake Shikotsu, taking in the clear lake bottom and surrounding scenery. At Lake Toya, I savored a meal and enjoyed the hot springs, and at Mount Usu, I took the ropeway and enjoyed the view from the summit while eating soft serve ice cream. Unfortunately, due to rain, I couldn't take photos of Nakajima Island in Lake Toya from the Silo Observatory, but it was a well-balanced tour. I tend to get bored if there’s too much focus on nature, scenery, transportation, or food, but the overall length of the tour was just right.

支笏湖で船に乗り、透明感の高い湖底や周囲の景色を楽しみ、洞爺湖では食事と温泉を楽しみ、有珠山ではロープウェイや山頂からの景色を楽しみソフトクリームを食べました。残念ながら、サイロ展望台では雨のため洞爺湖の中島を含む写真を撮れなかったのですがバランスがよいツアーでした。どうして自然、景色、乗り物、食事などに偏りがあると飽きてしまうのですがツアー全体の時間の長さもちょうど良かったです。

Since it was the end of August, I wasn't expecting much in terms of flowers, but I was surprised and moved to see that they were blooming more than I anticipated. The guide was also enjoyable, and I created wonderful summer memories.

8月末だった為、お花はあまり期待してなかったのですが、思いのほか咲いていてびっくりと共に感動しました。ガイドさんも楽しく素敵ななつの思い出が出来ました。

Il taxi si è presentato davanti al nostro alloggio perfettamente puntuale: abbiamo concordato l'itinerario e, dopo aver letto le condizioni di trasporto, siamo partiti.
Abbiamo apprezzato la guida spedita (ci ha fatto risparmiare parecchi minuti).
Per comunicare il taxista ha utilizzato un traduttore vocale portatile, che si è dimostrato affidabile.
Se si è in tanti (noi in 9) il prezzo è davvero conveniente, anche considerando parcheggi ed autostrade, pagati da noi di volta in volta.
Attività e compagnia sicuramente da consigliare!

It was enjoyable to view the condensed streets of the brand district and temple town from the second floor. The weather was favorable, and the easy-to-understand guide was also appreciated. Riding the elevated bus on the highway was a first-time experience for me. Next time, I would like to explore on foot.

ブランド街、寺町、凝縮された街並みが二階から眺められ楽しかったです、天候に恵まれ、解りやすいガイドも好感、高速道路二階バスははじめての経験、この次は歩いて周りたいです。

At Pineapple Park, if you're just wandering around with kids, you won't have nearly enough time. You'll have to dash through the souvenir shop. On Kouri Island, an umbrella is a must. If you want to dip your feet in the sea, bring sandals or water shoes. The aquarium is relaxing. Just be aware that there are few places to have lunch.

パイナップルパークは子供と普通に回っていたら全く時間が足りません。
お土産屋さんはダッシュで通り抜けないといけません。
古宇利島は日傘、必須です。。
海に足を入れたい場合はサンダルやマリンシューズを。
水族館はゆったり。
ただランチできる場所が少ないのでご注意を。

It was really great to be able to visit various places in one day for this price, but I was a bit disappointed that the time at each location was short. I understand that arrival times can vary due to traffic conditions, but it was tough when the sightseeing time was less than an hour. I chose the course that included Mihama American Village, but we arrived there too early and I didn't know what to do. I thought if we had arrived a little later, we could have had dinner or something. The price is low, so I guess this is what you get.

一日でいろんな所をこの値段で回れたのはすごく良かったけど各々の時間が短いのが少し残念でした。着いた時間が交通事情などによりずれるのは仕方ないけど観光が1時間未満のところは時間を削られるとしんどかったです。美浜アメリカンビレッジのコースを選択したがアメリカンビレッジに着く時間が早すぎて何をしたら良いか分からなかったです。もう少し遅ければ晩御飯を食べたりできたのに、と思いました。値段も安いしこんなもんかな。

Thank you for allowing us to leisurely visit places that are difficult to explore individually, such as Lake Shikotsu, Lake Toya, the sightseeing boat, and Mount Usu and Showa Shinzan, all within a limited time. Hokkaido was vast and beautiful! I appreciate the ride back to near the hotel.

個人ではまわれない行程の支笏湖、洞爺湖､遊覧船、有珠山昭和新山等限られた時間にゆったりとまわって頂き、ありがとうございました。北海道は大きく綺麗でした！帰りはホテル直近迄送って頂き感謝です。

Relaxing sightseeing on a water buffalo, and then renting a bicycle to the sea.
There are no traffic signals, the roads are unpaved, and the bicycles have no locks.
It's an experience you can't have in any rural area. It was a luxury.

水牛でゆったりと観光、そのあとはレンタルサイクルで海まで。
信号もなく、道路も舗装されていなく、自転車には鍵もない。
どんな地方の田舎にいってもできない経験。ぜいたくでした。

Unlike other tours, they picked us up by bus close to our accommodation and took us directly to the trailhead. On the way back, they also came to pick us up according to our descent time.

It was really great that we could enjoy the hike without worrying about time, unlike with a shuttle bus. The guide considered the physical condition of the members and adjusted the pace, so even I, who wasn't confident in my stamina, was able to participate happily.

They taught us various things, from the names of plants and the characteristics of the mountains to recommendations for Yakushima, making for an 11-hour experience filled with discoveries and surprises.

At first, I thought about climbing without a guide, but I definitely found it better to have one! It doubled the fun and, above all, provided peace of mind.

If anyone is aiming for Jomon Sugi, I absolutely recommend this tour!!

他のツアーと違って、宿の近くまでバスでお迎えに来て下さり、そのまま登山口まで連れて行ってもらえました。帰りも、私たちの下山時間に合わせてお迎えが来てくれました。
シャトルバスと違い、時間を気にせずにのんびりと登山ができるので本当に良かったです。
ガイドさんも、メンバーの体調を考慮しながらペース配分をしてくれたので、体力に自信がなかった私も楽しく参加出来ました。
植物の名前や山の性質、屋久島のオススメポイントまで様々なことを教えて下さり、発見と驚きに満ちた11時間でした。
はじめは、ガイドを頼まず登ろうかと思っていましたが、絶対にガイドさんがいた方が良かったです！
楽しさが倍増しますし、何より安心でした。
これから縄文杉を目指す方がいらしたら、絶対にこのツアーをオススメします！！

I was happily surprise for the whole tour, very veryyy nice, comfortable bus, very well organized tour, beautiful places to appreciate the mount Fuji. I felt they really thought about us as visitors and welcome guests, not just random people that only represent money for the company. Totally recommend this tour and the company. I would definitely go with them again. I traveled with my wife and 1 year old baby, and I had no issues, perhaps I would recommend next time to offer a car seat for the baby.

The guide provided us with various information, making it a very enjoyable tour. Also, I will never forget the taste of the coffee and miso soup that were prepared for us when we reached our destination. Thank you very much.

ガイドさんが、自分達のために色々と案内してくれて、大変楽しいツアーでした。
また、目的地へ到達した時に用意してくれたコーヒーと味噌汁の味は一生忘れません。
ありがとうございました。

Outstanding from beginning to end.

The guide was funny, knowledgeable, and spoke IMPECCABLE English.

There was heavier than usual traffic and the guide kept us updated on ETA and impact on schedule.

All the activities were excellent, including the substituted activities that were neceisstated due to closures of part of the original activity (due to volcanic activity).

We boarded the ship on time, and the interior was comfortable with a pleasant air conditioning temperature. The staff were all very friendly. What impressed me the most was that we could hear various stories on board, and even after disembarking, we received explanations that were very easy to understand! It was wonderful.

定刻通りに船に乗船、船内は適度やエアコン温度で快適、スタッフも皆親切です。何よりも感動したのは船内で色んなお話を聞かせて頂け尚且つ上陸してからも解説して頂けとてもわかり易い‼️素晴らしかったです。

This summer, I think the contractors had a tough time with the typhoons and asbestos concerns. However, we were lucky to make landfall. The time we spent on land was short, and there were only a few places to visit. But that's understandable. The museum makes up for it. Also, perhaps because of the set schedule, the staff from other companies we passed by were quite tense and unfriendly. However, the staff from this company were pleasant until the end. My child was very happy with the castella ice cream (which we purchased) on the way back.

この夏、台風やアスベスト疑惑などで業者さんは大変だったと思います。
でも、運良く上陸できました。
上陸時間は短かったし、見学場所もほんと少しです。でもそれは仕方ない。その分ミュージアムが補ってくれます。
あと、時間が決められているからかすれ違った他の会社の係の方がピリピリしていて感じ悪かったです。しかし、ここの会社の方は最後まで感じ良かったですよ。うちの子供は帰りのカステラアイス(購入しました)でご満悦でした。

I used the service on August 2nd. Despite the scorching heat of 38 degrees in Kyoto, thanks to the staff, Takki (the handsome Takigawa) and the beautiful and kind Sakaguchi, I had a very comfortable time.

We were able to visit multiple places in a short time, and during the bus rides, we received enjoyable and informative explanations. When walking, they carefully checked on the delayed tour participants, and both Takki and Sakaguchi went back and forth several times, kindly checking in on everyone. I was truly moved by this genuine "omotenashi" (hospitality)!

I definitely want to use this service again. I am sincerely grateful to the wonderful staff.

８月２日に利用。京都は３８度の猛暑の中、スタッフのタッキーことイケメン滝川さんと、美人で優しい坂口さんのおかげで、とても快適な時間を過ごせました。
短時間で何箇所も回れ、バス移動の間には楽しく参考になる解説をしてもらえます。徒歩移動の際は、遅れたツアー客の様子をきちんと確認し、タッキーさんも坂口さんも何回も前後を行き来して優しく声をかけてくださいました。これこそ本物の「おもてなし」だと感激しました！
是非、また利用したいと思います。
本当にお世話になりました。素晴らしいスタッフさん方に、心より感謝しております。

Although the weather was unfortunately rainy, thanks to our guide's excellent organization, we had a very informative sightseeing experience. I was moved to encounter many national treasure Buddha statues. The cute deer also brought me joy. Thank you very much.

生憎の雨模様でしたが、ガイド様のナイスな仕切りで大変為になる観光ができました。国宝の仏様にたくさん出会えて感動でした。かわいい鹿にも癒されました。ありがとうございました。

It was my first time on Taketomi Island. Since it was the last day, I was very happy with the luggage storage service. I was healed by the scenery of Taketomi Island and the water buffalo.

初めての竹富島でした。最終日だったので、荷物を預かってくれるサービスはとても嬉しかったです。竹富島の風景と、水牛に癒されました。

Farm Tomita, Shikisai no Oka, and the Blue Pond all offered breathtaking views that exceeded my expectations. I was especially moved by the immense scale of Shikisai no Oka, which is hard to capture in photos! I also had the chance to interact with alpacas, which was so soothing. Rokkattei had plenty of cute souvenirs and sweets, making it a fun stop. The time spent at each spot and for lunch isn't long, so you need to move quickly, but I believe the efficiency of the tour makes it all possible.

ファーム富田、四季彩の丘、青い池、いずれも想像以上の景色で満喫できました(*˘︶˘*)
特に四季彩の丘は、写真ではわからないスケールの大きさに感動…(*˙0˙*)!!
アルパカとも触れ合えて癒されました♡
六花亭もかわいいお土産やスイーツがいっぱいで楽しかったです✲*ﾟ
各スポットの滞在時間や昼食時間は長くないので、キビキビ動く必要がありますが、これだけ効率よく回れるのはツアーだからこそだと思います◎

It’s the best way to cover all the highlights of Kyoto in a short time!

I enjoyed a leisurely ride on a water buffalo cart while listening to stories about the island and live music, and then took a walk around the island to eat some shaved ice. It was hot, but it was a fun half-day. I think it's a great deal since it also includes a ferry ticket! ☆

のんびり水牛車に乗りながら島の話や弾き語りを楽しみ、その後島内を散歩してかき氷を食べ。。暑かったけど、楽しい半日でした。フェリーのチケットもついていてお得だと思います☆

It was a solo trip. Even though I was alone, the bus tour and the water buffalo cart were both enjoyable! The guide's sanshin and singing during the water buffalo cart ride were truly moving! It became a wonderful memory of this summer.

ひとり旅でした。ひとりでしたが、バス観光も水牛車も楽しかったです！水牛車でのガイドさんの三線と唄は、本当に感動しました！この夏のステキなの思い出になりました。

It was exhausting, but it was really great! The view from Taiko Rock was absolutely stunning and the weather was perfect. The photos of the mossy forest are not from the brochure! Haha, the nature was incredible. Also, I was moved to see Deidara-bocchi on the Torokko path! However, I wondered if it depends on the guide. The guide mentioned that some people go slowly while others go fast.

しんどかったですが、とっても良かったです^ ^
太鼓岩はめっちゃくっちゃ晴れてて最高でした。苔むす森の写真はパンフレットからの引用ではないですよ！笑 自然がやばかったです。
あと、トロッコ道にデイダラボッチいて感動しました(๑°ㅁ°๑)‼✧
ただ、ガイドさんによるのかなぁと、思いました。ゆっくり行ってくれる人もいれば、速い人もいると、ガイドさん自身が言っていました。

I participated at the end of July. The captain was friendly and even let us move to the bow of the boat, which was great. Since we were exposed to the wind the whole time, it felt quite cold by the time we returned, even in the middle of summer.

７月末に参加。船長さんもフレンドリーで船首へ移動させてくれたり最高でした。風を浴びっぱなしなので真夏でも帰る頃には寒いくらいでした。

I was worried about whether I could walk the entire 22 kilometers due to my knee concerns, but thanks to our guide, I was able to see Jomon Sugi and return safely, creating wonderful memories.

Our guide was a lovely woman who was very calm and explained everything in detail, while also being considerate of my knee. She was the best guide we could have asked for.

I was able to walk at my own pace until the end, and I’m really glad I participated in this private tour. Thank you very much!

膝に不安があったため22キロもの道のりを最後まで歩けるか心配でしたが、ガイドさんのおかげで縄文杉を見て無事に帰ってくることができとても良い思い出ができました。

ガイドさんは可愛い女性の方で、とても落ち着いていて一つ一つ丁寧に説明をして頂き、膝の事も気にかけてくれて、私達には最高のガイドさんでした。

自分達のペースで最後まで歩くことができ、こちらの貸切りツアーに参加して本当に良かったです。ありがとうございました！！

The main highlight this time was the Churaumi Aquarium. On the way, we stopped at various places, and the guide's trivia and little souvenirs were great. Since we just rode the bus, I would like to use this service again next time.

今回のメインは美ら海水族館でした。行く道中に色々な場所に寄ってくれ、ガイドさんの豆知識やプチ土産も良かったです。
バスに乗ってるだけなので、また次の機会も利用したいです。

On the last day of my trip to Shirahama, I only had about three hours, so I requested a sightseeing taxi. It was the right decision since I had a small child, elderly people, and large luggage. I think I was able to spend the limited time meaningfully. During the ride, I received explanations about Shirahama and was taken to various famous spots. They also showed great consideration for my small child. I'm really glad I made the request.

白浜旅行最終日、3時間くらいしか時間がなかったので観光タクシーをお願いしました。
小さな子供、年配者、大きな荷物もあったので頼んで正解でした。
少ない時間を有意義に過ごせたと思います。
色々な名所に連れて行っていただく道中にも白浜に関する説明などして頂きました。
また小さな子供への配慮など色々と気を使って頂きました。
本当に頼んで良かったと思います。

The entrance to Saijō Utaki is about a 5-minute walk from the parking lot. I arrived at the entrance right at 9 AM when it opened. The guide who was accompanying the bus does not provide a tour, so I explored on my own.

Since it was just before opening, there were few other tourists, allowing for a peaceful visit. After going up the Ujōguchi, I soon reached Ufugūi, where the path splits into two. If you want to see Yuinchi, please continue straight. If you turn right, you will reach Sangūi, which has a triangular space. From here, you can see Kudaka Island and feel the energy from the sea, the sacred rocks, and the Gajumaru trees.

Near Ujōguchi, there is a steep path leading to the Uroka (purification area), but be careful as it is quite steep and could take you over an hour, exceeding your sightseeing time before returning to the bus.

At the entrance to the Gangala Valley, you will be called together with other tour participants while waiting at the cave café. There is a dedicated guide here. First, there is an explanation of the tour, and free salted barley tea (in a water bottle) is provided. The tour lasts about 1 hour and 20 minutes, so if you don't have a drink, it's best to pick one up here to avoid heatstroke.

The guide provides explanations in a polite and well-paced manner. They are from Tokyo but have moved to Okinawa and seem to have studied well. In the Ikiga Cave, you proceed into the dark cave with a lamp. The rugged feel of the rocks and the sight of a river flowing inside the cave reminded me of the Amano Iwato Shrine in Miyazaki. I felt that this is where humans sense the source of life.

Please be sure to climb the tree terrace located towards the end of the course. You can see the hill where the bones of the Port of Nakagawa people from the Paleolithic era were excavated.

The exit is on the Okinawa World side. There will be guidance from the guide, but I think it's best to familiarize yourself with the route to the parking lot where the return tour bus stops.

斎場御嶽入口は駐車場から徒歩で5分ぐらいのところにあります。
ちょうど開場の９時、入口に到着。バスに添乗していたガイドさんは案内してくれませんので、自分の足で観光します。

開場間近なので他の観光客も少なく心静かに見ることができました。御門口（ウジョウグチ）を上がってしばらくすると、大庫理（ウフグーイ）に当たりますが、ここで道が二手に分かれています。寄満（ユインチ）を見たい人はまっすぐ進んでください。右手に曲がると三角形の空間がある三庫理（サングーイ）へ出ます。久高島を望め、海、磐座（いわくら）、ガジュマルからのパワーを感じられる所です。

御門口の近くにウローカー（みそぎ場）への坂道がありますが、かなり勾配が急なので、そこに行ってしまうと観光時間（バスに戻るまでの時間）の１時間を超える可能性がありますのでご注意ください。

ガンガラーの谷は、入口の洞窟カフェで待っていると、他のツアーの人たちと一緒に呼び出されます。ここは専用のガイドさんがいます。まずはツアーの説明があるのですが、無料の塩入麦茶（水筒入）が案内されます。ツアーは約１時間２０分かかりますので、飲み物を持っていない人は、ここで必ずピックアップし、熱中症にならないようにしたほうが良いかと思います。

ガイドさんが丁寧かつテンポよく説明してくれます。東京都出身だそうですが、沖縄が気に入って移住したそうで、よく勉強しているなと思いました。イキガ洞はランプをもって暗闇の洞窟を進んでいきます。岩のゴツゴツした感じや洞窟内を川が流れる様子が宮崎の天岩戸神社に似ています。こういうところに人間は、生命の源を感じるのだと体感しました。

コースの最後の方にあるツリーテラスはぜひ登ってください。旧石器時代の港川人の骨が発掘された「港川フィッシャー遺跡」の丘が望めます。

出口は、おきなわワールド側です。ガイドさんからも案内がありますが、帰りのツアーバスが停車している駐車場までは道順をしっかり把握してから歩いた方が良いと思います。
