All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

It was almost a full-day tour, but I really enjoyed it. The food was delicious, and I was able to buy souvenirs at the Mushroom Kingdom, and the mushroom soup was also tasty. If you're looking for a tour to fully enjoy nature, this is definitely the one! 😊

ほぼ丸一日のツアーでしたが、とても満喫できました。食事も美味しく、きのこ王国ではお土産も買うことができ、きのこ汁も美味しかった☺️自然を満喫したいツアーなら間違いないです。

I used a wheelchair, and the staff were very kind, helping me up and down the slopes at the Churaumi Aquarium. I would definitely like to use their services again. Thank you very much!

車椅子で利用させていただきましたが美ら海水族館の坂を行き帰り押していただいたりとても親切な方でまた利用したいなと思いました。本当にありがとうございました。

On the day of the event, it was rainy from early morning, but the number of participants reached full capacity, with a majority being from Europe and America. The guide was Chinese and was very kind and approachable. Additionally, two days after participating in this tour, I took the JR train to Gero Onsen and Hida Furukawa, which I couldn't visit during the tour.

参加当日は早朝から雨の天気でしたが、それに対して参加者数は定員満員となり、欧米の方は大半占めてました。ガイドさんは中国人の方で、すごく親切で親しみやすかったです。また、このツアー参加後の2日後は、当ツアー観光できなかった下呂温泉と飛騨古川にJRで行きました。

There were five participants, including myself, on the day of the tour, and the tour guide provided very attentive service. Regarding Asmui, we only had 80 minutes for sightseeing, so we couldn't visit the Stone Museum. On the way back, there was a bit of traffic near Kyoda, but we safely returned to Omoromachi Station in Naha City around 5:30 PM. If you want to spend a full day sightseeing in the main island, I highly recommend this tour.

当日参加者は自分含めて5名でしたが、添乗員さんにすごく丁寧にサービスいただきました。アスムイに関しては80分の観光時間しかなかったため、石の博物館には行けませんでした。復路には許田のところに少し渋滞してましたけど、無事に17時半くらいに那覇市内のおもろまち駅に戻れました。本島観光の際に丸1日間潰したいなら、こちらのツアーが非常におすすめです。

I had a fantastic time on the Taiko Rock course for five hours with our guide, Mr. Kimura. It flew by as he taught us various things along the way. The pacing, photo spots, and tips on how to take pictures, along with knowledge about Yakushima, were all things we wouldn't have learned if we had climbed on our own. We experienced everything from subtropical to northeastern climates, and even moments of sunshine turning into fog. The river water was delicious, making the Yakushima hike absolutely amazing. I felt like a child again, enjoying every moment, and I want to return to Yakushima next time to experience Yakusugi Land and marine sports! I would be thrilled to meet the same guide again then.

木全さんと言うガイドさんについて頂き、色々教えて貰いながらの太鼓岩コース5時間はあっという間で、本当に楽しかったです。
ペース配分、写真スポットや撮り方、屋久島の知識、自分達だけで登っていたら知り得ない事ばかりでした。
亜熱帯から東北地方の気候まで、晴れから霧がかかった瞬間も体験でき、川の水も美味しく屋久島登山は最高でした。
童心に返って楽しむ事ができたので、次回ヤクスギランドやマリンスポーツを体験しに屋久島に行きたいと思います！その時、また同じガイドさんに巡り会えたら嬉しいです。

As a one-day tour, it seems to be quite cost-effective and is likely the most popular. I was lucky to be able to buy souvenirs with an 8% discount coupon.

1日ツアーとしてはかなりコスパが良く1番人気と思われます　8%割引券でおみやげを買い揃えることができluckyでした

I've been sightseeing in Osaka quite a bit, but this was my first time on an open-deck bus. The guide's stories were fun and really informative! The weather was nice too, which was great.

大阪観光は色々と行ってるけどオープンデッキバス;🚌;は初めてでガイドの方のお話も楽しくて色々へ～ってためになった(笑)天気もよくて良かったです

This was my first time snorkeling, and I was able to enjoy it while feeling safe!

My mother and I participated together, and at first, my mom struggled to move underwater and had to give up. However, they even called her back when a sea turtle appeared!

This time, while holding onto a float, I was able to meet the sea turtle safely and even took commemorative photos✨ (The photography skills were really impressive!)

I am very grateful for the thorough support provided! It became a precious memory of Miyako Island.

Thank you so much to all the instructors!

この度はじめてのシュノーケリングでしたが、安心しながら楽しめました！

母子2人の参加で、最初に母が水中で上手く動けず断念したのですが、ウミガメが現れたとのことでわざわざ呼び戻してくれました〜

今度は浮き輪につかまりながら、無事にウミガメにも会え、記念撮影もできました✨
(写真の腕もすごく良いです！)

こんなに丁寧にサポートしてくださるなんて、とても感謝しています！宮古島の貴重な思い出になりました

インストラクターのみなさま、本当にありがとうございました！

The snorkeling at the Blue Cave was canceled due to bad weather the day before, and they suggested snorkeling at a different spot. I was a bit anxious about swimming, but our guide, Yutty, was very attentive and guided us well. My goggles kept slipping, and I apologize for the trouble, but he adjusted them for me while I was swimming, allowing me to fully enjoy the beautiful sea✨.

In mid-April, I participated without a wetsuit, and at first, I was surprised by the coldness of the water, but as I swam, I hardly felt the cold at all. I was also able to see two sea turtles swimming together, which made for a truly wonderful experience🐢.

前日に青の洞窟のシュノーケリングは天候不良の為中止とのご連絡があり、別のスポットでのシュノーケリングを提案していただきました。泳ぎに不安がありましたが、担当ガイドのゆってぃさんは丁寧にガイドしてくださいました。ゴーグルが何度もズレてしまい、ご迷惑をおかけしてしまいましたが、泳いでる最中に調整してくださり、綺麗な海を堪能できました✨
4月中旬にウェットスーツ着用なしでの参加で、初めは海の冷たさに驚きましたが、泳いでいるうちに冷たさは殆ど感じませんでした
ウミガメも二匹一緒に泳いでいる姿を見ることができ、とても素敵な体験をすることができました🐢

I used a sightseeing taxi for the first time, and it was very convenient since they provided pick-up and drop-off at the hotel. The driver listened to our requests, and the conversations during the ride were enjoyable, making the day fly by. I was happy to be taken to places we didn't know about and to hear explanations about the area. I'm really glad I entrusted everything to a professional. Thank you, Hara, for a wonderful day!

初めて観光タクシーを利用しましたが、ホテルまでの送迎していただけるのでとても楽でした。ドライバーさんにはこちらの希望を聞いていただき、移動中のお話も楽しくあっという間の一日でした。私たちが知らない場所にも連れて行って下さり、その土地の説明など聞けて嬉しかったです。プロにおまかせして本当によかったと思いました。はら様、素敵な一日をありがとうございました。

Thank you very much for your help. I really appreciate you walking alongside me, explaining things clearly, and taking photos at the shooting spots. We are also talking about wanting to visit Nara again someday.

大変お世話になりました。
一緒に歩調を合わせて頂き、分かりやすく説明して頂き、撮影スポットでは写真を撮って頂き本当にありがとうございました。
又、いつか奈良に行きたいねと話しています。

When it comes to Yakushima, the Jomon Sugi and the moss-covered forests are famous, but this course walking through the western evergreen broadleaf forest is the best! Mr. Ichikawa's explanations were very interesting, and he tried multiple times to fulfill my wish of taking photos with the deer and monkeys, which made me really happy! I was able to take some great photos to remember the occasion (*^-^*). Seeing the deer and monkeys in their natural habitat right in front of me was so moving that I was brought to tears, surprising myself. Thank you for a wonderful time that I will always remember.

屋久島といえば縄文杉や苔むす森
でも西部照葉樹林を歩くこのコース最高です！
市川さんの説明はとても面白く、そしてシカやサルと一緒に写真を撮れたら嬉しいな、という私の願いを叶えようと何度もトライして下さいました！　
記念に残るいい写真撮れました(*^-^*)
大自然の中のシカとサルの自由な姿を目の前で見ていたら
あまりの感動で涙が出てきて自分でもびっくり
思い出に残る素晴らしい時間をありがとうございました。

We were treated very kindly as adults, allowing us to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind. We were able to take many photos and videos with the sea turtles, and we are very satisfied! Thank you very much!!

だいぶ大人な私達に、とっても親切にして頂き、安心してシュノーケルを楽しむ事ができました。ウミガメとの写真や動画を沢山撮って貰えて大満足です！ありがとうございました！！

I felt an extraordinary love for Yakushima and for us tourists! During the tour, they sang folk songs and shared a lot of information about the trees and birds.

とびっきりの屋久島愛と私たち観光客への愛を感じました！
ガイド中に民謡を歌っていただけたり、木についてや鳥についてたくさんお話ししてくださいました。

Crossing to Yubu Island, the water buffalo carts keep passing us by... So that was the message from the buffalo! They're so clever, showing what they want to say with their bodies... Sota-kun, that's right... It's tough every day, isn't it? I really enjoyed your body language. I want to ride again.

由布島への海渡り、どんどん抜かされる水牛車…あれが牛君のメッセージだったとは！
賢いんだ、言いたいこと、体で示そうよって、やってたんだ…ソータくん、そうだよね…毎日毎日、たいへんだよね…楽しかったよ、君のボディランゲージ。
また乗りたいと思うわたしでした。

We took this time travel taxi from Tokyo station to Ueno station and it was so much fun, very informative and allowed us to learn about the Edo period in Japan and the taxi itself was very comfortable and smooth.

The driver was very kind and considerate, which was a great help. I was looking forward to Takachiho, but I didn't know that I needed to make a reservation for the boat in advance. When I arrived, it was already sold out, so I couldn't ride the boat. Unfortunately, the day I went coincided with the Takachiho Spring Festival, and the roads were closed, which meant we couldn't use the usual routes. This caused delays, and we couldn't visit Aso Mountain and Kusasenri in the latter part of our sightseeing. The driver apologized profusely, but if I had received this information from Veltra in advance, I could have changed my schedule, so it was disappointing.

とても親切なドライバーさんで、色々気を使って下さり助かりました。楽しみにしていた高千穂でしたが、ボートの予約を先にしておかないといけないのを知らず、行ったら既に完売で、ボートには乗れませんでした。
生憎、行った日が、高千穂の春祭りと重なってしまい、道路が閉鎖されるという事で、従来通る道が使えないので、時間が掛かるため、観光内容の後半の阿蘇山や草千里は行けませんでした。
ドライバーさんは恐縮してお詫びをさえましたが、前もってこの情報がベルトラさんから聞いていれば、日程を変えることも出来たので、残念です。

Thank you very much for this opportunity!

I felt reassured and comfortable participating, thanks to the reliable young man who confidently entered the bushes in short sleeves and shorts! (laughs)

He was very knowledgeable and taught us various things while we got to see many creatures like coconut crabs and hermit crabs, making it a very satisfying tour.

この度はありがとうございました！

半袖半ズボンで何の躊躇いもなく茂みに入って行くお兄さんが頼もしくて安心して参加できました！笑

知識も豊富で色々なことを教えてもらいながら、ヤシガニやヤドカリなど沢山見られて大満足のツアーになりました。

I enjoyed the great outdoors by strolling along the sandy beach with a clear view of Ie Island after passing through the Fukugi tree-lined path in Bise. At the Tropical Dream Center, I was able to experience not only the orchid flowers but also the Okinawan butterfly, baobab trees, jade vine, and various tropical fruit trees, making it a valuable experience and time shared.

備瀬のフクギ並木を抜けて、伊江島を望む透明な海の砂浜を散策して大自然を満喫しました。熱帯ドリームセンターではランの花はもちろん、オオゴマダラ・バオバブの木・ヒスイカズラ、熱帯の果樹の数々にふれることができて、貴重な体験・時間を共有することが出来ました。

I don't think the Kannon statue at the first spot (perhaps a substitute for the monkey facility that might be closed) is necessary. I believe it's better for individuals to visit places related to faith on their own.

Instead, it would have been better to visit unique places in Shodoshima, like the Soy Sauce Village or the Somen Museum.

The guide's explanations were very good, and thank you to the driver for the smooth driving.

最初のスポットの観音像（もしかしたら休園中の猿の施設の代替）は要らないんじゃないでしょうか。信仰が絡む場所は個人で寄られた方がよいと思います。
その分、醤の郷やそうめん館など、小豆島ならではの場所に行くことができたらもっとよかったです。
ガイドさんの案内はとてもよかったです。ドライバーさんも滑らかな運転ありがとうございました。

I took a boat from Ishigaki Port at 11 AM and arrived at Iriomote Island at noon. After dropping off my luggage at the hotel, I signed up for a tour to make the most of the three hours before check-in.

The half-day course started at 1 PM and lasted about three hours, which was a lot of fun.

The guide was very thorough in their explanations, making it easy for beginners to enjoy the experience without worry. This is a recommended tour that I think everyone should try when visiting Iriomote Island.

It was an activity that I could enjoy even alone.

Thank you, Takahashi-san, for being a great guide!

11時石垣港発の船で12時に西表島に到着し、滞在先のホテルに荷物を預けて、チェックインまでの3時間を有効活用しようとツアーに申し込みました。
13時スタート半日コースで約3時間楽しめました。

ガイドの方の説明もとても丁寧で、初心者でも安心して楽しめました。
西表島に来たらぜひ体験してほしい、おすすめのツアーです。

1人でも十分楽しめるアクティビティでした。

ガイドの高橋さんありがとうございました。

I came here for the first time.
I've been looking forward to visiting this facility for a long time.
I was excited from the moment I got the locker key to store my luggage!
While looking around the facility and listening to the explanations, they kindly answered any questions I had.
After the tour ended, we talked a lot about our love for airplanes and ANA.

初めて来ました。
ずっと訪ねてみたかった施設なので楽しみにしておりました。
荷物を預けるロッカーの鍵からわくわく！
施設を見ながら、解説を聞きながら、不明点があれば調べて丁寧に教えてくれました。
ツアー終了後も飛行機愛、ANA愛をたくさん語りました。

I was able to visit Iriomote Island, Yubu Island, and Taketomi Island in one day. On Taketomi Island, I rented a bicycle and rode to a beach with star sand, where I got so caught up in searching for star sand that I lost track of time and suddenly it was time to return to the boat. Next time, I would like to take it a bit more leisurely.

西表島、由布島、竹富島を1日でまわれました。
竹富島ではレンタサイクルで星砂のあるビーチまで行き夢中になって星砂探しをしていてあっという間に帰りの船の時間になってしまいました。
次回はもう少しのんびりと行ってみたいです。

The lunch included is rich in content for the price. The guide's explanations were also easy to understand. This is my third time in Ishigaki Island, but since I had been moving around by rental car before, listening to the guide's stories while touring offered a different charm.

The sanshin performance during the bus ride was challenging, but both the performance and the songs in the local dialect were very well done, and above all, the voice was beautiful 🎤👧🏼.

The glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay is an additional fee for those who wish to go, but it's cheaper than the general price with the bus tour discount. Last time I visited, I couldn't see any sea turtles, but this time I was thrilled to see many of them ✨.

値段の割に昼食付きで内容も豊富。ガイドさんの説明も分かりやすくかったです。
石垣島は3回目ですが、今まではレンタカーで移動してたので、ガイドさんの話を聞いて巡るのは違った魅力を感じました。
バスの揺れの中での三線演奏、大変そうですが、演奏も方言での歌もとても上手で、何より声が美しかった🎤👧🏼
川平湾のグラスボートは希望者のみ別料金ですが、バス観光割で一般料金より安いです。
前回行った時は海がめは見れなかったのですが、今回はたくさん見れて感激しました✨

Thank you, Mr. Yagyu, for all your thoughtful care and attention during the tour. It was a fun trip, and I don't think I could have visited so many places on my own. The 8% discount on souvenirs at the sightseeing spots and the silo observation deck was greatly appreciated. ☆ five stars. The only downside was the small 20-passenger jumping vehicle, but aside from that, it was a perfect score!

添乗の柳生さん　いろいろ心遣いなどなどありがとうございました。
楽しい旅行になりました。個人ではあれほどたくさん回れなかったと思います。
見学地やサイロ展望台おみやげ8％引きはありがたいことです。☆５つです。
小型の20人乗りジャンプする車が残念でしたが。それを除けば100点満点とれました。

I went on my first trip to Okinawa and was worried about driving, so I used a charter taxi for two days. The driver was very friendly and a great person! I would like to use this taxi service again when I come back for another trip!

初めての沖縄旅行、運転が心配で、貸し切りタクシーを2日間利用しました。運転手さんがとても気さくで良い方でした！また旅行に来る時はこちらのタクシーを頼みたいです！

This tour allows for efficient sightseeing of the three Yaeyama Islands and is very satisfying in terms of content. The mangrove tour on Iriomote Island, the water buffalo experience and sightseeing on Yufu Island, and cycling on Taketomi Island were all very enjoyable. The lunch on Yufu Island was delicious and had a local flavor. The only downside I noticed was that the bicycle used for cycling needed maintenance (the tires were low on air).

八重山3島を効率よく観光出来、満足の育や内容のツアーです。
西表島のマングローブ観光、由布島の水牛と由布島の観光、竹富島のサイクリング何処も満足の行く内容でした。
由布島の昼食も郷土色が感じられ美味しかったです。
あえて一つ残念なのは、サイクリングで利用した自転車のメンテナンス(タイヤの空気不足)が必要かと感じました。

There were about 30 participants, and I was the only Japanese person. At the beginning, the guide (a Chinese man) mentioned that since there was only one Japanese participant, my seat on the bus would be right behind him, and I would be sitting alone (no one would sit next to me). However, one person from a family of seven from Vietnam ended up sitting next to me, which was quite noisy the whole time. The guide only provided explanations in English, covering the next destination, viewing time, and meeting time. Since he only conveyed this information, I declined the Japanese explanation, saying I understood English. I felt that the guide was not as enjoyable or knowledgeable as others have described.

Regarding the schedule, the initial viewing time at Hokkaido Shrine was supposed to be 50 minutes, but it was cut down to 30 minutes, which felt rushed. Yet, we spent a generous 90 minutes for lunch at the market. While others seemed to visit the shops guided by the guide, I wished they had adjusted the viewing times better if they could allocate that much time for lunch.

Additionally, this is a personal impression, but both the driver and the guide were wearing wrinkled sweatshirts, and the driver looked like he had just woken up with messy hair. There was a lack of cleanliness, and when I said "thank you" while getting off the bus, I was ignored. The driver was not the kind of person that others had described in their reviews.

The weather was very nice, and the Great Buddha was a wonderful sight. Lastly, I wish the entrance fee for the Great Buddha had been included in the tour. All 30 of us (and everyone else was a foreigner) had to pay for the entrance fee one by one at a single ticket machine. With such a short viewing time, this took even more time. Please consider this.

スケジュールについても最初の北海道神宮の見学時間が予定は50分だったのが30分で足早なんてものでない
それなのに昼食は市場でたっぷり90分
他の方々はガイドさんの案内されるお店に行かれたようですが
昼食にそれだけ時間を割けるなら、他の見学時間の調整をもう少しちゃんとして欲しかったです

あと、これは個人の感じ方もありますが
ドライバーさん、ガイドさん共によれよれのスウェット、ドライバーさんに至っては起きたばかりのようなボサボサの髪でした
清潔感もなく、バスを降りるときに「ありがとうございます」と声をかけても無視

ご一考ください

I made a reservation for a plan that included both English and Japanese, but it felt like it was primarily in English.

When there was a mistake with the reservation for the parking at Kiyomizu Temple, the explanation of the situation was only in English, and I couldn't understand what was happening.

Given that this was a plan aimed at foreign visitors, I was told there was "no time to include Japanese," but I would have appreciated explanations in Japanese for essential details like the meeting time, meeting place, and any issues that arose.

Overall, I was satisfied with the places visited and the duration of the stay.

英語+日本語でのプランで予約をしましたが、英語が中心という印象でした。

清水寺の駐車場への予約のミスの際、状況の説明が英語のみで、何が起こってるのか分からなかった。

外国の方向けのプランという前提で、｢日本語を入れている時間がない｣と言われていましたが、集合時間や集合場所、トラブルに関する説明など、必要なことは日本語でも説明が欲しかったです。

訪問場所や滞在時間などはおおむね満足できる内容でした。

I came last year as well. I was very pleased to be able to enjoy the Yaeyama fireflies that are only visible during this time of year again this year. I definitely want to participate again next year.

昨年も来ました。この時期だけの八重山ヒメボタルの観賞が今年もできたので大変良かったです。また、来年も是非参加したいです。
