All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

It was hot outside, but the limestone cave was a bit cool. I was able to enjoy some cold barley tea, and although I had water that had reached room temperature, it was a relief. The guide's explanations were very easy to understand, and I’m really glad I participated in this tour. I was looking at other tours, but since this one departed from my hotel, I decided on it right away. Thank you to the driver, the tour conductor, and the guide from the Valley of Gangala for all your help.

外は暑いけど、すこーし涼しい鍾乳洞でした。塩入の冷たい麦茶もいただけ、常温になってた水は持っていましたが，助かりました。ガイドさんの説明も大変わかりやすく，このツアーに参加してとても良かったです。他のツアーも見てましたが、丁度ステイ先のホテル発だったので，即決でした。運転手さん、添乗員さん、ガンガラーの谷のガイドさん、おせわになりました、ありがとうございました。

I experienced canoeing in Iriomote Island. The instructors were very attentive, making it easy for beginners to participate with confidence. Additionally, Mickey (the guide) had a wealth of knowledge, and it was a lot of fun. Thank you very much! It became the best memory!

西表島のカヌーを体験しました。丁寧に教えて下さり、初心者でも安心して参加出来ました。また、ミッキー（ガイドさん）の知識も豊富でとても楽しかったです、本当にありがとうございした！最高の思い出になりました！

Overall, it was great. Most of the participants were travelers from abroad, with about 70% coming from China. Everyone was well-mannered, adhered to the meeting times, and maintained a quiet atmosphere on the bus, making it a pleasant experience.

The tour guide spoke Chinese, English, and Japanese while providing explanations. Korean audio guidance was also available. The tour guide was kind and had a good demeanor.

Both the driver and the tour guide were excellent. Shirakawa-go and Takayama were also wonderful.

全体的によかったです。参加者は外国からの旅行者（7割ほどが中国からの旅行者？）がほとんどでした。みなさんマナーもよく、集合時間も厳守で、バス内も静かに過ごされていて、気持ちよく参加できました。
添乗員さんは中国語・英語・日本語をしゃべり説明されていました。韓国語は案内音声を流されていました。優しい対応のよい感じの添乗員さんでした。
運転手さんも添乗員さんもみなさんよかったです。
白川郷も飛騨高山もよかったです。

Mr. Miki, our tour guide, provided detailed explanations until we arrived at each location, which gave us a solid understanding and made for an enjoyable trip. I would like to come again in the cool autumn. I hope to see Mr. Miki again then. Thank you very much.

ツアー案内人の三木さんが、各現地へ到着するまでに細かく説明をしていただいたので基礎知識が入り、楽しい旅となりました。
今度は 、秋の涼しいときに来たいと思いました。その際はまた三木さんにお会いできることを願っています。
ありがとうございました。

I was able to visit three islands, and it was a very meaningful time. The mangroves, water buffalo carts, and the streets of Taketomi Island were amazing. The rental bicycles were great. The ferry from Ishigaki Island is very rocky, so those who are prone to motion sickness definitely need to take anti-nausea medication! After arriving at Taketomi Island, I took a bus to the city center, but it was unfortunate that the departure was delayed because we were waiting for the next ferry. This reduced our sightseeing time on Taketomi Island.

3つの島をまわることが出来て、とても有意義な時間でした。
マングローブや水牛車、竹富島の街並みは最高でした。レンタサイクル良かったです。
石垣島からの船はとても揺れるので、酔いやすい人は酔い止め必須です！
竹富島に着いてから市街地まで行くバスに乗車したけれど、次の便の船を待っていた為、発車が遅れたことが残念です。竹富島観光の時間が減りました。

I was able to see many famous spots in one day, which was great! The bear ranch exceeded my expectations. There are various troubles, but it would be best if we could coexist with humans.

１日で沢山の名所を見れてとても良かったです！クマ牧場も期待以上でした。何かとトラブルがありますが人間と共存できれば1番いいですね。

I didn't know places like this still existed. It's as if Yufu Island is heaven, a paradise, and the water buffalo cart is a shuttle to heaven—truly like a dream. The water buffalo cart feels like it's moving through time and space. There’s such a different world here that it makes me worry about returning to reality. I'm glad I went.

まだ、こういう場所があったのか。まるで由布島は天国、楽園、水牛車は天国への送迎、まさに夢の中。水牛車は時空を超えて移動しているようです。現実世界に戻れるか心配になるほど違った世界があります。行ってよかった。

Our family's first trip to Miyako Island ♬
We joined this tour because we wanted to see sea turtles.
Both my husband and I were worried about whether our son, who can't swim and has no snorkeling experience, would enjoy it, but thanks to Brother Hikaru (Matsuura Hikaru), he was able to have a great time in the water! He even started swimming on his own halfway through ♪ We were able to relax and enjoy ourselves too!
Brother Hikaru was very kind and always considerate, providing support, and we are truly grateful! Thank you so much!!
And the turtles ♡ We were so excited to see them up close!
Their faces were so incredibly cute ♡
We also got to take a lot of wonderful photos, making it a very satisfying tour!
Thank you for the most wonderful time!

家族で初めての宮古島♬
ウミガメに会いたくてこのツアーに参加しました。
私も主人も、泳げない&シュノーケリング経験ナシの息子が楽しめるかどうか心配でしたが、光お兄さん(松浦光さん)のおかげでとても楽しんで海に入ることができました！途中からひとりでスイスイ泳げるようにもなり♪私達も安心して楽しめました！
光お兄さんがとても優しく常に気遣ってサポートしてくださったおかげです。本当に感謝感謝です！ありがとうございました！！
そしてカメさん♡あんなに近くで会うことができ大興奮で大喜び！
顔がと〜っても可愛いかったです♡
素敵な写真もたくさん撮っていただき大満足のツアーになりました♪
最高に素敵な時間をありがとうございました〜

I participated with my wife and two children. It was tough due to strong winds and rain, but we were able to see a bat for a moment, and it was a lot of fun! Next time, I want to join when the moon is dark to see the Milky Way!

妻と子供２人で参加
強風&雨で大変でしたがコウモリも一瞬見られてとても楽しかったです✨次回は月が暗い時に参加して天の川を観たいと思います！

The driver was Japanese, and the tour guide was Chinese. About 70% of the passengers were Chinese, but everyone was well-mannered and the schedule was followed on time. The guide was also polite, and I really enjoyed it.

As for Asahiyama Zoo, entry is from the East Gate instead of the main gate, so it was the opposite of the recommended route, which may have caused a slight delay.

運転手は日本人の方で、添乗員は中国人の方でした。乗客は7割が中国人の方でしたが、皆さんマナーよく時間通りの運行でした。
ガイドも丁寧で、とても楽しめました。

旭山動物園は正門ではなく、東門からの入園になるので、推奨ルートとは逆の回り方になり、少しタイムロスがあったかと思います。

At my son's request, we were able to travel from Nago to Naha while visiting the Pokémon Center and manholes. The driver was also kind, and the journey went smoothly. Thank you!

息子のリクエストで、名護なら那覇移動をポケモンセンター＆マンホールを巡りながら移動できました。ドライバーの方も親切で、スムーズに移動できました。
ありがとうございました！

I visited Gujo, Takayama, and Shirakawa-go. Each location had about 1 to 2 hours for exploration and free time, but I thought it would be good to have a list of points I wanted to visit in advance. The shrines were located away from the exploration area, so I couldn't visit them within the time limit. The natural beauty and the atmosphere of each building and town were truly stunning, and I was very moved. I'm really glad I participated.

郡上、高山、白川郷を回りました。
それぞれ1時間〜2時間の散策と自由時間でしたが事前に行きたいポイントを押さえておくといいなと思いました。
神社は散策エリアから離れるので、時間内での参拝は出来ませんでした。
自然豊かでそれぞれの建物や街の雰囲気が大変美しくて感動しました。
参加して本当に良かったです。

I was able to see a sky full of stars, moving stars (satellites), shooting stars, and the Milky Way.
At the beach, I could see turtle nests.
The moon was beautiful, but it seemed difficult to capture the stars with the camera due to the moonlight, so the photo of the starry sky provided by the tour wasn't great.
The photos of the insects and other creatures we received were beautiful.

The tour involves parking the car on a dirt road.
We walk from the dirt road through a thicket, observing insects and plants, until we reach the beach. It's the same path both ways.

満天の星、動く星（衛星）、流れ星、天の川を見ることが出来ました。
浜辺ではウミガメの穴を見ることができました。
月が綺麗で、月の明かりで星をカメラで写すには難しいようで、ツアーの方からいただいた星空との写真がイマイチでした。
いただいた虫や生物の写真は綺麗でした。

ツアーは、車を野道に置きます。
野道から雑木林を虫や植物を見ながら浜辺まで歩きます。往復同じ道です。

The guide's reception and explanations were very good. Also, the driving was extremely safe, so I had no worries at all. This tour was so great that I plan to visit the Furano area next year. I'm looking forward to it already.

ガイドさんの応接や説明がとても良かったです。また、超安全運転で全く不安がありませんでした。
今回のツアーがとても良かったので、来年は富良野方面の予定です。今から楽しみにしてます。

I was taken care of by Yumi, the guide. It seems that encountering the coconut crab, hermit crab, Ryukyu sea cucumber, and sea turtle nesting was a very rare experience. The fun time flew by in an instant.

ガイドのゆみちゃんにお世話になりました。ヤシガニ、オカヤドカリ、琉球このはずく、海亀の産卵にも出会えてとてもレアな事だったようです。楽しい時間はあっという間でした。

I was able to enjoy the sightseeing bus until my flight around 3:00 PM. They can drop you off at the airport along the way, but it's not too far from the bus terminal to the airport, so I recommend this for your last day.

15:00頃のフライトまで観光バスで楽しめました。途中で空港下車も対応してくれますが、バスターミナルまで戻っても空港まではそんなに遠くないので最終日におすすめします。

I misunderstood that bike rentals were included in the activities on Taketomi Island, which caused some confusion upon arrival. I wish there had been an explanation at least when issuing the tickets. It seems that other customers received an explanation.

竹富島での過ごし方にレンタサイクルとあるので、含まれてると勘違いしてついてからゴタゴタしました。せめてチケット発行の時に説明がほしかったです。
他のお客様には説明があったようです。

I had a tour with Aika, Riki, and Hinata for stand-up paddleboarding, canoeing, snorkeling, and a night tour. They provided thorough lectures and shared their knowledge about Miyako Island, allowing me to learn more about the island and enjoy my experience. Thank you very much.

サップ、カヌーとシュノーケリング、ナイトツアーをあいかさん、りきさんひなたさんにツアーしてもらいました。丁寧なレクチャーや宮古島についての知識を教えてもらい、宮古島について詳しく知って楽しむことができました。ありがとうございました。

In a word, it was amazing! I was guided by Mr. Ando, and I had a very enjoyable time.

I went on July 4th, and the weather was favorable, making it easy to walk. I was able to enjoy various shapes of cedar trees, including Jomon Sugi, Daiou Sugi, and Wilson Stump. The story about the village that used to exist on the island was also fascinating. It's surprising that they receive money from the government to cut down trees. The water supply points located throughout the area were incredibly helpful. Even though it wasn't sunny, the cold water pouring over my head and neck in the heat was pure bliss.

I think it's better to have a guide. While young people might manage to traverse the path without difficulty, the round trip on the so-called "Trolley Road," which takes about two hours each way (a total of four hours), can honestly get boring. It's just a flat path to walk on. The most enjoyable part would be walking while chatting with the guide during this time. It was such a wonderful experience that I want to go again with the same plan and the same guide.

P.S. I got gastroenteritis from eating raw chicken in Kagoshima, so I couldn't write my experience for a while. You should definitely never eat chicken raw.

一言で言うと最高でした！
安藤さんにガイドしていただきましたが，大変楽しい時を過ごせました．

7/4に行きましたが，天気にも恵まれ歩きやすかったです．
縄文杉をはじめ大王杉，ウィルソン株など，様々な形の杉を堪能できました．
また，島に以前存在した集落？も興味深い話でした．国からお金をもらって木を伐るとは，驚きです．そして随所にある給水地点にすごく助けられました．日が当たらないとはいえ暑い中，頭や首から被る冷たい水は幸せの一言です．

また，ガイドさんつけた方がいいと思います．
若人であれば難なく踏破は可能でしょうが，トロッコ道と呼ばれる，行き返りの各2時間ずつ(たしか計4時間ほど)は正直飽きます．ただ平たんな道を歩くだけです．この時間にガイドさんと話に花を咲かせながら歩くのが一番楽しいでしょう．
もう一度同じプランで同じガイドさんで行きたいと思うほど，素晴らしい体験でした．

p.s.鹿児島での鳥刺しに当たり胃腸炎になって体験談がなかなか書けませんでした．絶対に鳥は生で食っちゃいけません．

Thank you, tour guide.
I think it must have been tough to handle two countries.

However, the explanations in Chinese were too long.
If a three-minute explanation in Japanese turns into thirty minutes in Chinese, it becomes annoying.

I can't understand what is being said, but I believe there is quite a bit of small talk.

I hope for improvements.

添乗員さん。ありがとうございました。
二カ国がでの対応、大変だったと思います。

ただ、中国語での説明が長すぎます。
日本語で３分の説明を中国語で ３０分も話されては、うるさいです。
　
何を話されてるかわかりませんが、相当雑談ごあると思います。

改善願います。

It wasn't just a regular stargazing tour; it was my first time doing photography. This time, we had moonlight, so the focus was on capturing the moon, and it turned out great in its own way. I quickly set it as my LINE wallpaper 😃

However, the path to the shooting location was very dark, which made me a bit anxious. It's unavoidable since we can't shoot in bright places, but it was a little unsettling 😖

普通に星空を観察するツアーでは無く、フォト撮影は初めてでした。今回は月明かりがあり月メインの撮影でしたが、これはこれでありですね。
早速、LINEの壁紙に設定しました😃

ただ、撮影場所に向かうまでの道のりがとても暗くて、若干不安になりました。明るい場所だと撮影出来ないので仕方ないですが😖

I felt very relaxed while riding the water buffalo cart and listening to the sanshin.
I enjoyed a leisurely stroll on Yubu Island.
On Taketomi Island, I couldn't get a grasp of the schedule and only wandered around the port for a bit before returning, which left me feeling a bit unsatisfied, but I think it was good that I was able to return to Ishigaki Island early.

水牛車に乗って三線を聞きながらとてものんびりとした気分でとても癒されました。
由布島ではゆっくり散歩気分で散策が楽しかったです。
竹富島では、段取りが把握できずに港の周りを少しだけ散策して直ぐに港に戻り少し不完全燃焼でしたが、石垣島に早く戻れたのはよかったと思っています。

Since my trip was mainly in Sapporo and I didn't rent a car, I really wanted to visit Asahiyama Zoo, so I decided to sign up for a tour this time. I was unfamiliar with Hokkaido and worried about transfers, and since it was summer and hot, being able to take a bus from Sapporo while resting was really comfortable for my body.

I got tired from walking around the zoo, but it was great that I could just sit back and relax on the way back without any worries. I returned right on time without any delays. I look forward to joining another tour the next time I visit Hokkaido.

札幌メインの旅行だったためレンタカーしておらず、どうしても旭山動物園は行きたかったので今回ツアーに申し込むことにしました。北海道は不慣れで乗り換えが心配だったのと夏で暑かったので札幌からバスで寝ながら行けたのはすごく体が楽でした。
動物園で歩き疲れましたが帰りもなんの心配もせずに座ってるだけで帰れたのでとても良かったです。
特に遅れることもなく時間通りに戻れました。また北海道に行く際は何かのツアーでまたよろしくお願いします。

I scanned the QR code on the card with my name that was given to me earlier to enter. I was excited from the very beginning. ANA is the airline I'm most familiar with, so during this visit, I felt like I got a little glimpse behind the scenes. I realized that the people working in this industry are amazing, as they handle their challenging daily tasks while undergoing such training.

先に渡された自分の名前入りのカードに記載のQRコードをかざして入場。
最初からワクワクし通しでした。
ANAは一番馴染みのエアラインなので、今回の見学で、ほんの少し裏側を覗けた感じで、普段からこんな訓練を受けながら、日常の大変な業務をこなされているんだな、とこの業界で働く方々はすごいなぁと思いました。

Even my husband, who usually isn't comfortable being photographed, was able to enjoy the shoot thanks to the friendly encouragement from the photographer. I hadn't really thought much about poses, but I was grateful for all the suggestions we received. We got so many wonderful photos under the starry sky, and I'm really glad we made the reservation. I also made great use of the recommended spots and restaurants that the photographer shared with us! I definitely want to recommend this to others.

普段写真を撮られるのが苦手な夫でもカメラマンさんの気さくなお声かけで楽しく撮影することが出来ました。
ポーズもなんとなくしか考えていなかったのですが沢山ご提案いただけて有難かったです。満点の星空の下でめちゃくちゃ素敵なお写真たくさん撮っていただいたので、本当に予約してよかったと思います。カメラさんに教えていただいたオススメスポットやご飯屋さんもかなり活用させていただきました！これは絶対周りにも勧めたいと思いました。

Although there were slippery slopes and dirty areas along the way, it was a fantastic tour that my first-grade daughter enjoyed without fear, finding glowing scorpions and recognizing constellations! The guide was very knowledgeable about Iriomote Island and various creatures, making sure all participants had a great time. On the way back, he diligently searched for creatures, and thanks to him, we were able to see a large habu snake! I highly recommend this for families with children!

道中、滑る斜面や汚れる場所もありますが、小１の娘でも怖がることなく、光るサソリや、知ってる星座を見つけて大満喫のツアーでした！
ガイドさんも、西表島のことや、生き物のことを色々教えてくれて、参加者が楽しめるよう配慮してくれる方で本当に楽しめました。帰り道の車でもどこかに生き物がいないか一生懸命探してくれて、そのおかげで大きいハブが見れました！
子ども連れでもおすすめです!

I applied for a similar tour in Japan, but it was canceled due to a lack of participants. I really wanted to go to Takachiho Gorge, so I signed up for this tour, knowing it was aimed at overseas travelers.

There wasn't much time for lunch, so I bought an onigiri bento at Hakata Station to bring along. Eating and drinking were allowed on the bus except for ice cream. It was great to visit various places. However, be prepared to walk a lot and climb stairs; it can be tough in the summer! Expect to sweat.

The guide was multilingual, but the Japanese explanation was at the end, so there were moments when I thought, "Huh?" regarding the meeting times. However, it was fine to ask questions if something was unclear.

Hearing the explanations for overseas travelers made me realize how they interpret and present things. The guide apologized in Japanese, saying, "Since this is aimed at overseas travelers, there might be some differences to make it easier to understand, and I'm sorry for the Japanese participants."

This time, the guide was really great. They were cheerful, and their speaking style was soft. There were some troubles during the tour, but they handled everything diligently, and I had a very positive impression.

日本の同じようなツアー申し込んだんですが、人が集まらないため催行されず
どうしても高千穂峡に行きたくて、海外の方向けを承知の上でこちらのツアーを申し込みました
途中、ランチの時間はあまりなく、博多駅でおにぎり弁当買って持ち込みました
バス内はアイス以外飲食OK
色々回れてとっても良かったです
ただし、とにかく、歩くし、階段登るし、夏は大変！汗だく覚悟でどうぞ
多言語対応のガイドさんでしたが、日本語での案内は最後なので、集合時間など、ちょっと、ん？って思う時はありましたが、分からないことは聞けば大丈夫です
多言語のため、海外の人への説明を聞いて、ああ、こんな風に解釈されて紹介するのね、って思いましたが、日本語で「海外の方向けだから、分かりやすくするためちょっと違うところもあるだろうけど、日本人の方たちごめんなさい」ってガイドさんがあやまってました
今回、ガイドさんがとても良かった。明るく、喋り方はソフト。今回、トラブルがありましたが、一生懸命対応してくれて、全く問題なく好感が持てました

I was worried because it was hot, but the mist came out and the drive was enjoyable. An hour felt quick. The one-hour drive in Tokyo was nice, so I also participated in Osaka, and that was the right choice. I want to enjoy it again somewhere else.

暑いので心配してましたが ミストも出たし ドライブは面白かったです。
一時間が早く感じました。
東京都内の一時間ドライブも良かったので 大阪も参加したのですが正解でした。また どこかで楽しみたいです。

Since I was going to Ishigaki Island, I wanted to explore the surrounding islands as well, so I signed up for a tour. I was satisfied because we were able to efficiently visit each island.

折角石垣島に行くのであれば離島巡りもしたいなと思い申し込みました。効率よく各島を巡れたので満足です。

I had developed an interest in Hashima Island after watching a drama. I learned that tours were the only way to visit, so I signed up. The explanations were easy to understand, and although it was very hot, I was glad that we could see everything efficiently.

ドラマを見て興味が湧いていた端島。
観光はツアーのみと知り申し込みました。
解説がわかりやすくとても暑かったのですが効率よく観れてよかったです。
