All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

There was a rain forecast and some wind. During the water buffalo cart experience tour, it did rain, but the cart had a roof, and the rain was temporary, stopping quickly.

The guide shared stories about the water buffalo and Taketomi Island, and even played the sanshin while singing. If you take the afternoon ferry, there isn’t much time after the water buffalo cart experience, so a walk to the West Pier and back is just about right.

On the return bus from the Taketomi Island tourist center or the ferry to Ishigaki Island, there were likely some people from the morning ferry, so the morning ferry allows for a more leisurely sightseeing experience on Taketomi Island.

I actually wanted to book for the arrival day or the afternoon of the last day, but I couldn’t get a reservation. I also couldn’t book the morning ferries on the second and third days, so I reluctantly participated in the afternoon ferry on the second day when I could get a reservation.

On the second day, I woke up leisurely, enjoyed a buffet breakfast at the hotel, relaxed in the large public bath, and then went out to the city to see Euglena Mall before joining the tour.

As a result, the hotel buffet and large public bath seemed crowded early in the morning, but I was able to enjoy myself even after taking my time in the morning and sightseeing before joining the afternoon ferry.

I boarded the Super Dream bus from Dream Tourism between Ishigaki Island and Taketomi Island, and it seemed that we were the only participants for the afternoon ferry that day, allowing us the luxurious experience of having the 195-person capacity boat all to ourselves.

Although it was a plan without a tour guide, the staff at Dream Tourism explained everything to us and even put a sticky note on the map of Taketomi Island to ensure we wouldn’t get the bus time wrong.

After returning to Ishigaki Island, we were taken back to the hotel from the Dream Tourism meeting point, so we were able to enjoy the day even with the rain forecast.

雨予報で風もありました。水牛車体験ツアー中には雨も降りましたが、水牛車には屋根があり、雨も一時的ですぐに止みました。
ガイドのお姉さんから、水牛さんや竹富島のお話を聞いたり、三線を弾きながら歌ってもらえます。
午後発の便だと水牛車体験後はあまり時間がないので、西桟橋まで歩いて行って戻って来るくらいでちょうどいいくらいでした。
竹富島の観光センターからの帰りのバスや石垣島までの船では、恐らく午前便の方もいらっしゃったので、午前便の方が竹富島をゆっくり観光出来ます。
本当は到着日か最終日の午後に予約したかったのですが予約が取れず、また2日目と3日目の午前便も予約が取れず、仕方なく予約が取れた2日目の午後便で参加しました。
2日目の朝ゆっくり起きて、ホテルで朝食バイキングをのんびり食べて、大浴場でゆったりしてから、市街地に出てユーグレナモールを見た後、ツアーに参加しました。
結果的にホテルのバイキングや大浴場は早い時間は混雑している様子でしたが、朝のんびりして、ゆっくり観光してから午後便に参加してもそれなりに楽しめるものでした。
石垣島と竹富島間は、ドリーム観光のスーパードリーム号に乗船したのですが、その日の午後便参加者は私たち1組だけだったようで、195名定員の船内を2人で貸切にするという贅沢な体験も出来ました。
添乗員の同行しないプランでしたが、ドリーム観光の窓口のお姉さんから説明を聞いて、帰りのバス時間も間違えないように竹富島の地図に付箋を貼って下さいました。
石垣島に戻ってから、ドリーム観光前集合でホテルまで送ってもらえたので、1日雨予報の日でも充分に楽しむことが出来ました。

Since I didn't rent a car, I decided to sign up for this tour. Although I encountered traffic on the way back, I was glad that I didn't have to drive myself, which made it less tiring. The staff who accompanied us took photos, and the driver was very pleasant, which made the experience really enjoyable.

レンタカーを借りなかったので、こちらのツアーに申し込みさせてもらいました。帰り道は渋滞にあいましたが、自分で運転することを考えたら疲れずに済んで良かったです。同行したスタッフの方が写真を撮ってくれたり、運転手さんも感じのいい方で、とても良かったです。

I made a reservation the day before, and I was able to fully enjoy the crystal-clear sea. It was a very fulfilling tour. The photos taken with the drone were also very beautiful and I highly recommend them. Thank you very much.

前日に予約しましたが、透明度の高い海を満喫でき、大変充実したツアーでした。ドローンで撮影していただいた写真もとても素敵でおすすめです。ありがとうございました。

I was very satisfied with the abundant course and delicious meals. Although it's separate from the tourist spots, one of the highlights for me was the bus driver. He was very pleasant, and his driving was careful, which made me feel safe during the ride. Since my job involves driving as well, I was particularly attentive to the driving quality.

I was a bit worried about the value for such a generous offering at this price. I would definitely like to use this service again when I visit Hokkaido.

盛りだくさんのコースと美味しいお食事に大満足でした。観光地とは別ですが私の中でとても良かった事の1つにバスの運転手さん。とても感じが良くて運転も丁寧で安心して乗っていられました。私も仕事が運転業務なものでやっぱり運転はとても気になるところでした。
このお値段でこんなに盛り沢山で心配になるくらいでした。
また北海道へ行った際はぜひ利用させていただきたいです。

I participated alone, but I had a great time.

I was able to efficiently visit Fushimi Inari, Kinkaku-ji, Arashiyama, and Kiyomizu-dera all in one day, which I think would be quite difficult to manage on my own. The bus rides allowed me to rest during the transfers, which was a big help physically.

Most of the participants were foreigners, and many were in groups, but everyone adhered to the schedule and showed good manners, making it a comfortable experience. The guide primarily spoke English but also provided thorough explanations in Japanese for the Japanese participants.

Additionally, since I was the only one participating alone, the female staff member was very attentive and kindly approached me, saying, "I was looking for you to take a photo," which made me very happy. She was very kind.

Traveling alone allows for easy sightseeing, so I now want to utilize bus tours for my future travels. I highly recommend it.

女ひとりで参加しましたが、とても楽しめました。

伏見稲荷、金閣寺、嵐山、清水寺を1日で効率よく回ることができ、個人ではなかなか難しい行程だと思います。移動中はバスで休めるので、体力的にもかなり助かりました。

参加者は外国の方が多く、複数人で参加されている方がほとんどでしたが、皆さん時間やマナーをしっかり守っていて、安心して参加できました。ガイドは英語メインですが、日本人向けに日本語でも丁寧に説明してくださいます。

また、ひとり参加が私だけだったからか、スタッフの女性の方がとても気にかけてくださり、「写真を撮るから探していました」と声をかけてくださったのが嬉しかったです。とても親切でした。

ひとり旅でも気軽にたくさん観光できるので、これからはバスツアーを活用して旅行してみたいと思いました。とてもおすすめです。

I could clearly see the efforts of everyone at ANA to ensure aviation safety. The realism during the entrance to the observation facility really gave a sense of being on a plane, which was very nice. Thank you!

航空の安全を守るためのANAの皆さんの努力の様子がよくわかりました。見学施設入場の際のリアリティさも飛行機に乗る感じが出てとてもよかったです。ありがとうございます。

Although most of the time is spent traveling, I think it's a good tour because you can go to Takachiho and come back in one day. I thought there would be a lot of mountain walking, but it wasn't that intense. If you don't have any issues with your legs, I don't think you need to worry too much.

Regarding the guide, Emily was wonderful. Her explanations were clear, and she was very professional. Unfortunately, the guide in charge of Japanese and Korean, Y, was disappointing. She spoke in such a quiet voice that the three Japanese guests sitting right in front of her couldn't hear her. She didn't use a microphone either. However, the Korean guide was loud enough to be heard.

Including the parking, Y was the last to return to the bus at three out of the five stops we made. While she expected the guests to be punctual, it was surprising that she was late three times. Emily had to remind her on the third occasion, but it seemed to upset Y, and her guiding after that was far from professional. Additionally, it may be a minor point, but I believe there are still a number of Japanese people who find it rude to guide while wearing AirPods. They might be used as hearing aids, but if that's the case, it would be better if she mentioned it at the beginning.

While the guiding experience wasn't as great as others have described, I still think it was a tour that was enjoyable overall.

移動時間がほとんどではありますが、一日で高千穂まで行って帰って来られるので、良いツアーだと思います。ものすごく山歩きするのかと思っていましたが、そこまでではありませんでした。足に不安がなければ、そんなに心配しなくて良いと思います。

ガイドについて、エミリーさんは素晴らしかったです。説明もよく分かり、プロフェッショナルでした。残念なのは日本語と韓国語のガイド担当のYさんです。目の前に座ってるたった3人の日本人客にも聞こえないような小さな声でしか説明をしない。マイクも使わない。でも韓国語でのガイドは充分聞こえる音量。
パーキングも含め、立ち寄った5ヶ所のうち3ヶ所で、Ｙさんが一番最後にバスに戻ってきました。客側には時間厳守を求めているのに。流石に３回目はエミリーさんが注意してくれたのですが、それが不満だったようで、その後のガイドぶりもプロとは言い難いものでした。また、細かい話かも知れませんが、AirPodsを耳に装着したままガイドすることを失礼と感じる日本人はまだ一定数いると思います。補聴器として使われているのかも知れませんが、それなら最初に一言断られた方が良いと思います。

ガイドについては他の方の体験談のような素晴らしさはありませんでしたが、それを除けば充分楽しめるツアーだと思いました。

I might be repeating what was said in the survey, but when I was told by the current flight attendants that my comments were wonderful, I was very happy. Being able to see the emergency evacuation training in person was a valuable experience.

In the context of prioritizing safety, I was deeply impressed by a certain employee's work, which was described as "thoughtfulness," in a program aired by NHK at the end of last year featuring 100 cameras. I was able to gain a deeper understanding of that meaning while observing and receiving explanations.

I have participated several times, and what I gained from the tours has been very helpful in boosting my motivation at work each time. I look forward to visiting again next time.

I participated with my child, and both the crew members and the driver were very kind, which made me feel at ease. My husband's family also joined, and they said it was really great.

子連れで参加したんですが、搭乗員の方、ドライバーの方共にとても親切な対応で安心でした。旦那の家族も参加させていただいたんですが、とても良かったと言ってました。

The sightseeing boat and water buffalo cart were both amazing experiences. The scenery was absolutely stunning, truly reminiscent of a tropical island. The transportation was efficient, taking us smoothly to Iriomote, Yufu, and Taketomi Islands, which made the travel stress-free. The lunch buffet was delicious, featuring ingredients from Okinawa.

遊覧船も水牛車も感動の体験でした。とにかく南国の島らしい景色が最高。
手際よく、西表・由布・竹富島へ送り届けてくれるので移動のストレスが無くて良い。
ランチブッフェも沖縄食材で美味しくいただきました。

On the last day in Yakushima, I was unsure whether to rent a car until my evening flight, but I found this course that takes you to the places I wanted to visit and decided to join. The Western Forest Road is narrow, and when a car comes from the opposite direction, one of the vehicles has to back up and wait. Most of the oncoming cars were rental cars, and I felt that backing up to a place where we could wait on those narrow mountain roads was quite challenging. We took a bus to tour various famous spots, and we could see deer and monkeys well after getting off the bus. It was a half-day morning course, but I was very satisfied and enjoyed it thoroughly.

屋久島最終日、夕方のフライトまでレンタカーを借りようか迷いましたが、
自分の行きたい場所をまわってくれるこのコースをみつけ参加しました。
西部林道は道路幅が狭く、対向車がきた時は、
どちらかの車がバックして待機しないといけません。
対向車はレンタカーばかりで、
細い山道で待機できる場所までバックするのはかなり大変だと感じました。
バスに乗車して各名所を巡り、
バスから降りてシカやサルも十分に見ることができます。
午前の半日コースでしたが、十分満足して楽しめました。

Since this was my first time using the service, I was a bit anxious, but an older man was flexible and accommodating when we needed to change our destination. The Alphard was clean inside, which was great.

今回初めて利用したので少し不安だったんですが、少し年配の男の人で行く場所を変更しても臨機応変に対応してもらえました。アルファードで車内も綺麗で良かったです。

The guidance from the experienced and honest guide was great. The time allocation for the places we visited was also good, allowing for efficient sightseeing. The only issue I would point out is the lack of preparation at the lunch venue, and the soba broth was very weak, which created a big gap compared to the other dishes that were quite salty, resulting in many inbound guests not showing much expression.

経験豊富、正直ベースのガイドさんの案内が良かった。訪問箇所の時間配分も良く効率的に観光できました。唯一課題を挙げれば、昼食会場の受入れ準備不足と、蕎麦の出汁がとても薄く、他の塩味の強い品々とのギャップが大きくて、多くのインバウンドの表情がなかった点です。

The content was easy to understand and full of emotional moments. The facilities have been updated, and I was able to observe the training scenes, which made me feel reassured about using the service and boarding. The guides provided clear explanations and had a friendly demeanor, which was very nice. I would definitely like to participate again if the opportunity arises.

内容が判りやすく、感動の連続でした。
施設も新しくなり、研修風景も見学でき内容もこんなこともやっていると
判り安心して利用でき、搭乗出来ます、
案内の方が判りやすい説明で親近感のある方で大変良かったです
また機会があれば是非参加したいです。

It was written to gather at Shinchiko Coast, but it seems they choose the beach depending on the situation. For us, we received a notice the night before that it was changed to Bora Beach!

On the day, we were able to see sea turtles perfectly, and we also got to see many other fish!

The instructors were very friendly and taught us a lot of interesting facts about the fish, which made it really enjoyable!

I will never forget the aggressive humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa!

新城海岸集合と書いてありましたが、状況によってビーチを選んでくださるようで、私たちの時は前日の夜にボラビーチへ変更のご連絡をいただきました！

当日はバッチリウミガメにも会えましたし、他のお魚もたくさん見ることができました！

インストラクターの皆さんもとても気さくで、お魚の雑学もたくさん教えていただき、とても楽しかったです！

煽ってくるムラサメモンガラは一生忘れません！

There were no numbers for the meeting place or signs for the tour, and when I asked two staff members who seemed to be in charge of the bus, they had a cold attitude. I called the company, but they said it was not in use, and I couldn't make the call, so I waited until just before departure, feeling very anxious. However, at the last minute, I received a call from the bus staff, and I was able to participate. The staff member on the bus was a Taiwanese man who mentioned that his mother is Japanese. He was very friendly, and even though we were the only foreigners, he kindly followed up with us in Japanese. It was so much fun that I forgot about the unpleasant experience before the tour. I'm glad we had such a wonderful staff member. I hope the company will focus on training their staff.

集合場所の番号や、ツアーの目印看板が無く、それらしいバスの係員に、2件質問しても、冷たい態度だった。会社に電話したけど、使われてないと、電話も出来ず、発車ギリギリ迄待って
すごく不安だった。でも、ギリギリで、バスの係員から電話が有り、参加出来ました。参加したバスの係員の方は、台湾の男性の方で、お母さんが日本人だとおっしゃってました。とてもフレンドリーで、私達以外外国人だったけど、とても丁寧に、日本語でフォローしてくださいました。ツアー前の嫌な体験忘れる位、楽しかったです。とても素敵な係員さんで良かったです。　会社も係員さんの教育をお願いしたいです。

I was able to see the scenery from the front row. However, it seems like it would be hot in the middle of summer. Only the front row has a roof, but the breeze was nice, so it was good.

最前列で、景色見えました。でも真夏は暑そう
最前列だけ、屋根が有るけど、風邪は回って来て、良かった。

This year's rainy season started early, and the forecast predicted rain ☂️, but while traveling by bus, it rained a bit, and by the time we arrived at our destination, it had stopped, allowing us to enjoy sightseeing without using an umbrella. The view of Kabira Bay was amazing.

梅雨入りが今年は早くて予報では☂️でしたが🚌で移動中は降っても現地に着くと止んで傘を使わずに観光出来ました。川平湾の景色最高でした。

I'm in the tour guide business in Hawaii, and I thought my tour guide Steven did a very good job. He spoke in English and in Chinese, which I thought was awesome! It was a very long day, but well worth it. I will use some of the actions that Steven did during my tour when I get back to work. Please tell Steven that I said thank you for a great day. The Mt. Fuji cake was delicious; get the hot drink in the can and use it to try to keep warm.

Location: You can find the location in the PDF sent after your reservation, and if you follow the instructions, you will be able to reach it. The meeting point is at the port, and you will just board the boat directly, so make sure to wear your swimsuit or clothes that can get wet beforehand. Once you arrive at the port, use the public restroom before boarding the boat. It only takes about 5 minutes on the boat to reach the destination. Staff member Lee was very efficient in organizing everything, and they asked for our preferences for the drone photography in advance, allowing for an ideal shoot. After the drone photography, they send the photos right away. The tour lasts about an hour.

場所:予約後に送られてくるPDFで場所を把握しておき説明通りに行けば辿り着けます。
集合場所は港で、直接船に乗るだけになるので、水着や濡れていい服装を事前に着用し、港に着いたら公衆トイレでお手洗いを済ませて船に乗り込みます。
船に5分乗ればもう目的地です。
スタッフのリーちゃんがテキパキと段取りしてくれて、ドローン撮影は事前に希望を聞いてくれたので理想的な撮影をしてもらうことができました。
ドローン撮影後はすぐにその場で送ってくれます。
ツアーは１時間ほどで終了です。

You should definitely see Jomon Sugi at least once in your lifetime.

The guide was neither particularly good nor bad; they provided various information but didn't have a special sense of humor or excel at creating a great atmosphere.

It was convenient that transportation and lunch were included in the tour.

やはり一生に一度は縄文杉見ておくべきです。

ガイドの方はまあ可もなく不可もなく、いろいろガイドはしてくれますが特別ユーモアがあったり良い雰囲気を作るのに長けているわけではないです。

送迎や弁当がツアーに含まれているのは便利でした。

I understood ANA's safety initiatives very well. I was grateful that the current flight attendants guided us with smiles. ANA is a great company.

ANAさんの安全取り組みが良くわかりました。
現職のCAさんが笑顔で案内して頂いて、有難かったです。ANAさんて良い会社だ。

Not only did I get to enjoy the sea turtles, but I was also healed by many fish like the clownfish! The ocean in Miyako Island is the best! It was my first time snorkeling alone, but the instructor taught me carefully, so I was able to swim happily right away! I will come again! Thank you, So-chan and Yama-chan, you are the best!!

ウミガメだけでなく、カクレクマノミなど沢山の魚達に癒されました！宮古島の海最高です！1人が初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、インストラクターが丁寧に教えてくれるのですぐに楽しく泳ぐことができました！また来ます！そうちゃんやまちゃんありがとう最高！！

We had a wonderful time spending the entire day with Makoto. He is very knowledgeable, has a good attitude, and is a very respectful person! I am very happy I had Makoto as a tour guide! He always had a smile on his face, which set the tone from the very first moment we saw him!!!!!

I made a mistake with the train transfer and ended up being 5 minutes late. They kindly suggested that I join the next session in 15 minutes, and I was able to participate without any issues. I was very grateful for that. The explanations were clear, and they even provided quizzes. I'm glad I was able to visit places that I wouldn't have been able to see without joining the tour.

電車の乗り継ぎを間違え、5分遅刻してしまいました。
15分後の回での参加を提案してくださり、無事に参加することができました。
とてもありがたかったです。
説明がわかりやすく、クイズなども出してくださいました。
ツアーに参加しなければ、見ることができない場所の見学ができて良かったです。

I arrived in Sapporo in the morning and thought about where to go for half a day, so I decided to join a bus tour for easier transportation.

Due to the unfortunate rainy and cloudy forecast, there was only one other group besides us, which made me feel a bit sorry for the driver and guide, but they were very kind and accommodating, which was great.

At the Okurayama Jump Stadium, the lift was stopped due to strong winds, but the jump platform was still quite impressive from below.

It was cold at the Moerenuma Park as well, but I enjoyed seeing a herd of wild deer in the grass and taking photos with the statue of Clark.

It was nice to move comfortably while listening to the announcements and trivia through the earphone guide.

午前に札幌着、半日どこを回ろうか考えて、移動が楽なバスツアーに参加することにしました。
あいにくの雨くもり予報のせいか、参加はうちのほかに1組だけとなんだか運転手さんやガイドさんには申し訳なかったですが、親切かつ感じのよい対応でとても良かったです。
大倉山ジャンプ場では強風でリフトは止まっていましたが、ジャンプ台は下からでもかなり迫力ありました。
羊ケ丘も寒かったですが、野生の鹿の群れが草むらにいたり、クラーク像と写真を撮ったり楽しく過ごしました。
イヤホンガイドでアナウンスやウンチクを聞きながら快適に移動でき良かったです。

I was guided by Mr. Sasaki and participated with my 69-year-old mother. It was my mother's dream to see Jomon Sugi, and Mr. Sasaki was attentive to her health throughout the journey, allowing us to reach our destination safely and comfortably! The other participants were also kind, making the hike a wonderful memory. There was a bit of a mishap at the end where we almost missed the tour bus, but Mr. Sasaki stayed with us until the very end, which was truly reassuring. It was the best experience, fulfilling my mother's dream!

ガイドの佐々木さんに担当していただき、69歳の母と参加しました。
母の夢だった縄文杉でしたが、佐々木さんが道中ずっと体調を気にかけてくださり、安心して無事に辿り着くことができました！
参加者のみなさんも優しく、楽しく登山できたのも良い思い出です。
最後はツアーバスに間に合わないハプニングもありましたが、佐々木さんが最後まで並走してくださり本当に心強かったです。
母の夢が叶った、最高の体験でした！

The day we initially reserved was cloudy, and I was worried about whether we would be able to see the stars in this weather. However, I received a message and was able to reschedule for the next day.

Although the stars were hidden again the following day, the photographer was persistent, and we were able to see a beautiful starry sky and have some lovely photos taken. As we've aged, my spouse and I haven't had our pictures taken by a photographer, but looking at the finished photos made me glad we decided to do it. I hope to visit again during the season when the Milky Way is visible. Thank you very much.

当初予約していた日は曇ってしまい…このお天気で星が見えるのかな…と心配していたところ、ご連絡をいただき翌日に振り替えてもらうことができました。

翌日も星が隠れてしまいましたが、カメラマンさんが粘ってくださり、綺麗な星空を見ることができ、素敵な写真を撮影してもらうことができました。
年齢を重ねて、夫婦でカメラマンさんに写真を撮ってもらうことはなくなりましたが、出来上がりを見てお願いして良かったと思いました。
天の川が見れる季節にまた伺えたらいいなぁと思っています。
ありがとうございました。

I waited for over 15 minutes. It was so slow that I had to call. They said it would take at least another 15 minutes. On that day, there were traffic regulations due to the festival, and there was a traffic jam.

I couldn't make it to my next appointment, so I used another mode of transportation. They should have known about the traffic regulations in advance. The guide on the bus was also disappointing. It was overpriced.

It might be great for solo travelers or those with plenty of time.

待つこと15分以上。
余りに遅いので電話連絡させて貰いました。
そしたら早くても後15分かかるという事でした。
当日、お祭りで交通規制があり、渋滞しているとの事。

次の予定に間に合わないので、別の交通手段を使いました。
交通規制は予め分かっているはず。
バスの中のガイドもイマイチで残念でした。
割高でした。

1人旅や沢山時間のある方には、とても良いかも知れませんね。

I was able to efficiently visit the spots I wanted to see, and I am very satisfied. Also, the guide was very polite and provided a sense of security.

効率よく見たいスポットを回ることができて、大満足です。そして、ガイドさんがとても丁寧で安心感がありました。
