- In addition to the Churaumi Aquarium, we visited four other locations, and since all participants happened to be Japanese, we were able to stick to the schedule and had plenty of time at each place.
- Our veteran bus guide sang beautiful island songs using a shamisen and Okinawan castanets in the quiet bus.
- Last time, I also used a rental car and visited similar places, but this time I didn't have to worry about finding parking, and we were able to enjoy all five locations with a good time allocation and at a relaxed pace.
・美ら海水族館のほか4箇所に寄ったが、偶々参加者全員日本人だった為、集合が時間厳守で其々の場所で余裕があった。
・ベテランバスガイドさんが静かな車内で、三味線や沖縄のカスタネットを使い綺麗な声で島人の唄などを唄ってくれた。
・前回もレンタカーを使い、同じような処を観光したが駐車場を探したりせずに済み、全5箇所の時間配分良くゆったりと堪能出来た。

While waiting in line in front of the waterfall, the guides shared interesting stories about the crows on Iriomote Island, which only eat natural foods and don't rummage through garbage. I think the tour was well thought out to ensure we didn't get bored during the wait.
At the mangrove river, they took plenty of photos for us, and in front of the waterfall, we were able to take commemorative pictures with other participants we had become friendly with!
During the cave trekking in the forest, they provided equipment to prevent injuries and led the way, skillfully avoiding difficult terrain, which I really appreciated.
There was a tree along the way with roots shaped like boards, creating a natural bench, which was quite amusing.
On Barasu Island, I felt a connection to the changes in nature, and strangely, my perspective of the world seemed to become clearer. Thank you so much to the four guides who took care of us!
滝の前で順番待ちをしていたんですが、その間も西表島のカラスはゴミを漁らず自然のものだけ食べるなどの面白い話をしてくれました。待ち時間も退屈しないように工夫が詰め込まれたツアーだったと思います。
マングローブの川では写真をこまめに撮ってくれて、滝の前では仲良くなった他の参加者の方と記念撮影してもらえました!
森での洞窟トレッキングではケガをしないように装備を用意してくれて、先頭に立って足場の悪い場所を避けてくれて流石だなと思いました。
途中にある木には根っこが板みたいな形をしていて自然のベンチになってて面白かったです。

I was drawn to the sound of "the phantom island not on the map" and absolutely wanted to go to Balas Island. I was moved to learn that the corals are white because they are not alive, despite being so beautiful, which deepened my understanding of nature! There are colorful fish around the corals! There are also waterfalls, and Kobachan took a lot of Instagram-worthy photos for me and even gave them to me for free! There’s also caving nearby, where you enter through an entrance just big enough for one person to pass through in the forest! Here too, Kobachan took photos inside the cave, which I posted on Instagram later! I definitely recommend mangroves and caving for jungle lovers!
地図には無い幻の島という響きに惹かれてバラス島に絶対行きたいと思い、
こんなにきれいなのにサンゴが白いのは生きていないからと教えていただき、自然の奥深さを知れて感動しました!
サンゴのまわりにはカラフルな魚がいます!
滝もあって、インスタ映えする写真をこばちゃんがたくさん撮ってくれてしかも無料でくれました!

The highlight of my trip to Iriomote Island was the mangrove SUP. At first, I was struggling to make any progress, feeling anxious to stand up, but time just passed, and I couldn't stand up on the way there. I took a commemorative photo sitting on a sturdy tree vine, which felt like a naturally made swing, allowing me to appreciate the wonders of life. It turned into a great story to share with my friends.
At the waterfall, the staff took photos for us, creating an experience I never imagined, which became a wonderful memory. On the way back, I learned some tips and was able to stand up even in the choppy waters. When I explored the naturally formed cave, I felt like I got to know the deep, unrefined side of Iriomote Island, not just the tourist spots. I made my way through small gaps by touch, and inside the cave, there was a beautiful small river formed by rainwater, allowing me to feel the rhythm of nature, which was very satisfying.
The boat ride to Barasu Island had high waves, but we landed without any issues. Overall, I was extremely satisfied.
今回の西表島旅行で1番楽しみだったのがマングローブのsup。
最初は右往左往しながらなんとか進める状態。早く立ちたいと焦る気持ちとは裏腹に時間だけが過ぎ、行きは立てなかった。
頑丈な木のツルに座り記念に一枚。自然にできたブランコみたいで生命の面白さを実感。友人に話せるいい土産話になった。
滝ではスタッフさんが写真を撮ってくれて今まで考えられなかった経験ができ、いい思い出になった。
帰りはコツを伝授してもらい波のある海でも立つことができるようになった。
自然にできた洞窟を探検した時は、整備された観光地ではないディープな西表島を知れたと思う。
小さい隙間を手探りで進んだり、洞窟内には綺麗な雨水でできた小さな川が流れ自然の営みを感じることができ満足。
船に乗ってのバラス島は波が高かったが特に問題なく上陸できた。
総合的に大満足。

Recently, my travel pattern at beach resorts has been to tackle various experiential optional activities first, and then do the classic sightseeing on the last day. For this reason, this regular sightseeing bus was a great choice. The guide's stories and songs were excellent, and we didn't miss any of the famous landmarks. For lunch, we had a set meal with Ishigaki beef hamburger at a café. We arrived at the airport around 1:30 as planned. At this price, I would give it a perfect score of 100 points.
最近のビーチリゾートでの旅行パターンは、

I was worried about seasickness and took some measures on my own, but thanks to the advice on the best seats to avoid getting sick, I was able to fully enjoy the views from the ship without feeling nauseous. The staff's service was truly worthy of the name "concierge."
The guide, who spent his childhood on Gunkanjima, provided explanations that were very clear and impactful, and they still resonate with me. The museum is also worth a visit, so I recommend checking it out again after disembarking.

I wanted to experience SUP, so I decided on this one based on the good reviews. They were very accommodating even with a last-minute reservation and offered helpful advice. Due to tidal conditions, we had to cancel the landing on Barasu Island, so they changed my plan to a half-day considering my stamina.
I was the only one doing SUP while others were in canoes, but there were no waves, so I was able to get on quickly. We smoothly made our way to the waterfall, enjoying the scent of the Sagari-bana flowers floating in the river, which is only available during this season.
Even though I participated alone, I was able to enjoy the experience with the other participants in a friendly atmosphere. I didn't use my smartphone because I was worried about dropping it, but I took many photos, and they sent them to me later via LINE.
After that, we had a cave experience. Since the others went on a different plan, I had a one-on-one session with the instructor and learned a lot from our conversations. I won’t say much for those who will experience it in the future. I’m really glad I joined this tour on my first trip to Iriomote Island! I highly recommend it for anyone interested in SUP and caves.
SUPを体験してみたかったので色々ある中で口コミの良かったこちらに決めました。
前日申し込みでも丁寧に対応、相談にのっていただけます。
潮の関係でバラス島上陸は中止になったため、体力など考慮して半日プランに変更していただきました。
SUPはひとりで他の方はカヌーでしたが波などないのですぐに乗れるようになり、クーラーの滝まで、この時期限定の川に浮かんだサガリバナの香りも漂う中、気持ちよく進みました。
ひとりで参加でしたが、他の方々とも和気藹々として楽しめました。
落とすと大変なので、スマホは使いませんでしたが、たくさん写真を撮って頂き後でLINEで送ってもらいました。
その後は洞窟体験です。
他の方々は、違うプランへ行かれたため、インストラクターの方とマンツーマンで、色々なお話を聞かせてもらいました。
これから体験する方のために多くは語りません。
初めての西表島旅行にこのツアーに参加して良かったー!と思いました。
SUP &洞窟に興味のある方、是非オススメです。

I thought the limestone caves would be really difficult, but surprisingly, they were easy to walk through, and exploring the three caves took less than an hour. Since they weren't lit up like the famous limestone caves, we were really thrilled to see the natural formations! I had only seen mangroves from Okinawa, so I was overwhelmed by the authentic mangroves on Iriomote Island. At the waterfall, my friend and I enjoyed doing waterfall meditation and jumping into the basin, which was a lot of fun. On Barasu Island, I was amazed by the white coral mountains. Nakane, who accompanied us, not only took pictures of us but also captured beautiful shots of the mangroves, limestone caves, and Barasu Island, showing great thoughtfulness!
鍾乳洞はすごく難しいのかなと思いましたが、意外と歩きやすく、探検する洞窟も3つで1時間もかからなかったです。
よくある有名な鍾乳洞みたいにライトアップはされてないので天然の鍾乳洞が見たい僕たちはめちゃくちゃハマりました!
マングローブは沖縄本島のものを見たことがあっただけなので、西表島の本格的なマングローブに圧倒され、滝では、友人と滝行したり、滝つぼに飛び込めて楽しかったです。

I took a prayer photo at the waterfall. In the limestone cave, wearing a helmet and gloves made me feel adventurous.

It feels great to paddle through the quiet mangroves. Since I went during the off-season, it felt like I had the place to myself except when passing by others. The guide was around my age, so we had a lively conversation about our school days. The cave was humid before entering, but once inside, it was filled with tranquility and coolness, soothing me with the sound of water. I was told that it's popular because even children can safely visit. Barasu Island sparkled with blue seas and white coral, and I was overwhelmed to discover such a place existed in Japan.

My family (3 adults, 2 children) had an incredible time during this tour which was individualized for us based on our requests and preferences. Our guide Takashi was extremely knowledgeable, spoke excellent English and taught us so much about not only Mt. Fuji but Japan and Japanese culture. Additionally, Takashi’s broad international knowledge and understanding provided an added perspective and important context on Japan’s place globally today. Our driver Toshi was also excellent and entertaining and because of his understanding of weather patterns on the mountain, we made 2 critical stops along the way that allowed us to see the peak despite some poor weather conditions overall. Takashi took us to an incredible restaurant for lunch, a meal that all of us enjoyed and none of us will forget. An incredible trip overall which was made even better by the connection we made with our guide Takashi. On a personal note, I left my phone in the vehicle and Takashi & Toshi ensured that it was returned to me the same evening! It was much appreciated! I would highly recommend this private tour and ask for Takashi!

I'm going to a small cave where coconut crabs are found. When I went, there were two of them! The flying foxes darting between the trees move quickly, so I lost sight of them right away. Along the way, there is a large rock called Tsunami Stone, which the guide, Mr. Takagi, told us was brought here by a tsunami in the past. In Banna Park, while lying on a leisure sheet, Mr. Takagi explains about the starry sky. We had a great time in the car learning about recommended shops in Ishigaki Island and that peacocks that escaped from Kohama Island are also found in Ishigaki Island!

木と木を飛び回るオオコウモリは動きが早いので、すぐ見失ってしまいました。
途中には津波石と呼ばれる大きな岩があり、昔津波で運ばれてきたと、ガイドの高木さんが教えてくれました。
バンナ公園では、レジャーシートで寝そべりながらガイドの高木さんが星空について解説してくれます。
車内では石垣島のオススメのお店や、小浜島から逃げた孔雀が石垣島にもいることなどの楽しい時間を過ごせました!

We paddled from the sea towards Kuura Falls on a stand-up paddleboard. The river is shaded by mangroves, making it cool and pleasant. Our guide explained the mangroves to us. Along the way, we stopped the paddleboard and enjoyed a light trek towards Kuura Falls. We were able to get close enough to the falls to bathe in the water, which felt great. The plunge pool was perfect for swimming and was bustling with children. There are three caves with stalactites hanging from the ceiling like icicles, creating a mystical atmosphere. The last cave has areas where light doesn't reach, allowing us to experience the pitch darkness of the cave, and we took commemorative photos while receiving explanations about the cave. The narrow exit added to the sense of adventure, making it quite fun.
Bara Island is a coral reef island floating in the sea, and we headed there by boat. Thank you to Mr. Chiba for taking so many photos for us.
サップはクウラの滝を海から川に向かって漕いでいきます。
川はマングローブが生えていて、陰になっているので、涼しいです。ガイドさんが、マングローブの説明をしてくれます。途中でサップを止めて、軽いトレッキングを楽しみながらクウラの滝を目指します。クウラの滝は触れる距離まで接近できて、頭から水浴びができ、気持ちよかったです。滝つぼは泳ぐことができ、子どもたちで賑わっていました。鍾乳洞は3つあって、鍾乳石がつららみたいに天井から伸びていて神秘的です。一番最後の鍾乳洞は光が届かない場所があり、鍾乳洞の真っ暗な様子を体験でき、記念撮影と、鍾乳洞の解説をしてくれます。出口が狭いので、探検気分が味わえて面白かったです。
バラス島は海に浮かぶサンゴ礁でできた島で、船で向かいます。写真をいっぱい撮ってくれた千葉さんありがとうございました。

Iriomote Island becomes completely dark at night due to the absence of streetlights. It seems that there are sometimes habu snakes, so they provide a service that prepares rubber boots for safety. On the way to a beach known only to locals, you can encounter a large hermit crab called a coconut crab. Once you reach the beach, you can see the starry sky clearly, and on a night without clouds or the moon, the Milky Way is vividly visible, allowing you to enjoy a wonderful time with only the sound of the waves. The guide, Asahina, explained the stars, and you can see the Summer Triangle that appears in textbooks. After moving to a high point, I was able to lie down and enjoy the peaceful time on the island.
西表島は夜になると街灯がないので真っ暗になります。ハブが出ることがあるみたいで、安全のため長靴を用意してくれるサービスがついていました。地元の人にしか知られていない砂浜に向かう道の途中で、ヤシガニと呼ばれる大きなヤドカリの仲間に出会えます。砂浜に出ると、星空が見れて、雲と月がない日だったので、天の川がくっきりとみえ、波の音だけしか聞こえない素敵な時間を過ごせます。ガイドの朝比奈さんが星の説明をしてくれて、教科書で出てくる夏の大三角を見ることができます。高台に移動したあとは寝転がって静かな島の時間を楽しめました。

The half-day bus tour was much cheaper than a taxi, and I was very satisfied. Visiting Sefa Utaki and Okinawa World for 1,700 yen was a great deal. It was a bit hot, but they took me to the airport, which was fantastic.
半日のバスツアーでタクシーより全然安くて大満足でした。斎場御嶽にいって、沖縄ワールドで1700円はお得です。少し暑かったけど、空港まで送ってくれて最高でした。

I was able to efficiently visit the attractions of the islands. We crossed to Yubu Island on a water buffalo, but water flowed into the seats, so I recommend participating with shoes that can get wet. The water buffalo was very cute (*^^*). On Taketomi Island, I chose the cycling plan. I went to look for star sand, but it seemed like many had already been collected, so I couldn't find as much as I expected (^^; Also, I got lost on the way back to the bicycle rental shop and was worried about making it back in time for the meeting, so I think those who are not confident in their sense of direction should allow extra time on the way back. It was a very enjoyable tour!
効率よく、島々の見所を観光できました。由布島まで水牛に乗って渡るのですが、水が座席にまで流れ込んできますので濡れてもいい靴での参加をオススメします。水牛がとっても可愛かったです(*^^*)竹富島ではサイクリングプランを選択しました。星の砂を探しに行ったのですが、もうたくさん拾われてしまったのか、思ったよりも見つかりませんでした(^^;また、自転車レンタル店舗へ戻るまでの道に迷い、集合に間に合うか焦ってしまったので、方向感覚に自信の無い肩は帰り道は時間に余裕を持って行動した方がいいと思います。とても楽しいツアーでした!

On the morning of the day, I took the first ANA flight from Haneda straight to Hokkaido! The weather in Hokkaido that day was really nice! This tour departed from Sapporo Station Bus Terminal at 9:30, so I was able to make it in time, and the fully booked bus set off safely!
The lunch at Highland Furano was cheese fondue and hamburger. The portion was just right, and the cheese was cut into a bread bowl, which was cute! The hand-formed hamburger was juicy and delicious! If there are two participants, you might share a table with four people, but it wasn't a problem at all. The male owner was smiling and very pleasant!
The lavender sea here was easy to navigate and the timing was just right. Shikisai no Oka was crowded, but the Moroccan tractor ride was quite bumpy and thrilling, which was fun. Those with back issues might want to be cautious (laughs).
The Blue Pond was truly beautiful and did not disappoint! It was mystical! I was amazed by the colors created by nature! I was told that this day had the strongest blue hue recently. The colors change depending on the day, which I think is part of the charm of nature.
Farm Tomita is very spacious and full of attractions! There are colorful fields, forest-colored fields, traditional lavender fields, flower fields, and fields of happiness, etc... it's just so vast (laughs).
The weather was great, and the gentle breeze was pleasant. The timing was well managed, and the manners of the participants were good, making it a very satisfying bus trip. Thank you very much.
当日朝羽田発ANA始発便で一路北海道へ!
当日北海道はとてもよい天気!
こちらのツアーは9:30札幌駅バスターミナル出発だったので間に合うことができて、満席のバスは無事出発!
ハイランドフラノのランチはチーズフォンデュ!とハンバーグ
程よい量でパンをくりぬいたところにチーズが入ってて可愛い!
手ごねハンバーグも肉汁もたっぷりで美味しかった!2人参加だと4人席で相席になるかと思いますが、全然気になりません。オーナーさんの男性が笑顔でとても感じがよかです!
こちらのラベンダーの海は周りやすい広さで時間もちょうど良かったです。
四季彩の丘は混み合ってましたがらモロッコ号(トラクター)がなかなか揺れて迫力があり楽しかったです。腰の悪い方はちょっと控えたほうが(笑)
青い池は期待を裏切ることなくほんとにとっても綺麗!神秘的!自然の生み出す色にびっくり!
この日はここ最近で一番青みが強いですとのお話でした。日によっても違うのでそれも自然の醍醐味かと思います。
ファーム富田はとても広くて見所満載!
彩りの畑、森の彩りの畑、トラディショナルラベンダー畑、花人の畑、倖の畑、etc…とにかく広いです(笑)
とてもお天気が良くさらっとした風も気持ちよく美味しく、時間配分もよく、参加された方のマナーも良くて大満足なバス旅でした。
ありがとうございました。
Dear Eririn,
Thank you for riding on the Hokkaido Chuo Bus sightseeing tour this time. This course is a new route that started operating this year. To avoid congestion during lunch and on the way, the departure time is set at 9:30, which is quite late for a course to Furano (typically, courses to Furano usually depart in the 8 o'clock hour). We arrive at Farm Tomita, which is usually the most crowded, around 16:00, after the peak congestion time.
This year, due to the high temperatures in May, the lavender bloom is about a week earlier, so I believe you participated in the tour at a great time. Our company operates various courses throughout the seasons. If you have the opportunity, we look forward to your next ride with us.

今回は北海道中央バスの定期観光バスにご乗車頂きありがとうございました。
このコースは今年度から運行を開始した新コースです。
昼食箇所・途中の渋滞を極力避けるため、出発が9:30とフラノへ行くコースにしては、大変遅い出発時間のコースになりました。(フラノへ行くコースは通常は8時台が多いです。) 一番混雑しているファーム富田も16:00台で到着で混雑のピークを過ぎた時間の到着します。
今年は5月の高温の影響でラベンダーの開花が1週間程度早いので、良い時期にツアーに参加されたと思います。
当社では四季折々様々なコースを運行しております。
機会がございましたら、又のご乗車をお待ち申しております。

The tour in Biei and Furano in July is fantastic. The flower fields at Shikisai no Oka and Farm Tomita are truly a carpet of flowers. The lunch was delicious, and the Blue Pond was lovely. It seems that the lavender and other flowers will be in full bloom in about a week, but we were very fortunate with the weather.
7月の美瑛、富良野、このツアーが最高です。
四季彩の丘、ファーム冨田の花畑は、本当に花の絨毯ですね。昼食も美味しく、青の池も素敵でした。
ラベンダーなど、あと一週間後が満開のようですが、天気にも恵まれて大変良かったです。
