All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

This tour was really great. According to the guide, Nagasaki has most of its sightseeing spots concentrated within a 4-kilometer square area, but exploring on your own can take quite a bit of time. This tour compactly organizes everything, making it an efficient option for first-time visitors to Nagasaki. Of course, the price includes admission fees to each sightseeing location. At the Atomic Bomb Museum, we unfortunately didn't have enough time, so I may need to visit again. We also ran out of time at Glover Garden. Although it wasn't included in the tour, we visited Oura Cathedral, which is on the way to Glover Garden, for about 15 minutes. It was a great opportunity to learn about the diverse aspects of Nagasaki, which has deep connections to the atomic bomb, international trade, and Christianity.

このツアー、本当に良かった。ガイドさんによると、４キロ四方以内に概ね観光すべきところが集まっている長崎ではありますが、個人でまわると、それなりに時間がかかります。このツアーは、コンパクトにぎゅっとまとめてくれているので、初めて長崎を訪問する観光客にとっては、効率のよいツアーかと思います。勿論、各観光地の入場料込みの金額です。原爆資料館では流石に時間が足りず、改めて、訪問する必要があるかもしれません。またグラバー園も時間が足りなかったです。ツアーには含まれていませんが、グラバー園へ徒歩で向かう途中にある大浦天主堂にも15分程度訪問しました。原爆、海外との貿易、キリスト教との縁が深い多様な側面を持つ長崎を知るいい機会となりました。

This was my second time on the Nara Kotsu sightseeing bus tour. My purpose for this tour was to visit Jiko-in, Yakushiji, and Toshodai-ji. The temperature in Nara that day was 34℃! I borrowed a parasol provided by the guide and ended up sweating a lot during the tour. At Jiko-in, I enjoyed matcha and traditional sweets while listening to a talk from the head priest. During that time, there was a pretty intense thunderstorm! The rain didn’t stop for a while, but thanks to that, I was able to listen to the priest's talk for a bit longer. The borrowed parasol transformed into an umbrella! 😅 At Toshodai-ji, the rain finally lightened up, and the greenery of the trees was very vibrant and beautiful. The guide helped me find great angles for Instagram-worthy photos, and I couldn't help but smile when I looked at the pictures I took. 😊 The driver even got off the bus to check for safety at the crosswalk. Nara Kotsu always provides a pleasant experience. This time, it was a very enjoyable and memorable bus tour! 😊

今回は2度目の奈良交通さんの定期観光バスツアーになります。このツアーの私の目的は慈光院さん、薬師寺さん、唐招提寺さんでした。この日の奈良の気温は34℃！ガイドさんが用意して下さった日傘を借りて汗びっしょりでのツアーになりました。慈光院さんでは、ご住職さんの法話を聞きながらお抹茶とお干菓子をいただきました。その最中にかなり激しい雷雨がバリバリバリ！雷雨がなかなか止まず、しかしそのお陰でご住職さんのお話をしばしお聞かせいただくことができました。そして借りていた日傘が雨傘に変身！😅唐招提寺さんでやっと雨が小降りになり、樹々の緑がとても鮮やかで綺麗でした。いろんなところでガイドさんにインスタ映え写真のアングルを教えていただいて自分で撮った写真を見てニンマリ。😊運転手さんはわざわざバスから降りて横断歩道まで出て安全確認をして下さってました。奈良交通さんは毎回気持ちがよいですね。今回もとても楽しく思い出深いバスツアーになりました😊

I chose this tour because I wanted to experience the water buffalo on Yubu Island. It would have been difficult to visit Iriomote Island and Yubu Island on my own, so I think choosing the tour was the right decision. The lunch, although included in the tour, was also very delicious.

由布島への水牛体験がしたくて、このツアーを選びました。西表島、由布島と、個人で行くには大変だったので、ツアーにして正解だったと思います。ランチも、ツアーについているとはいえとても美味しく頂きました。

It was fun. Thanks to the good weather and our Chinese guide and driver, we were able to tour smoothly and on time.

楽しかったです。
お天気がよく中国人のガイド件ドライバーさんのお陰で
スムーズに時間通り観光できました。

It was a hot day, but with a Japanese guide, our tour of about 20 people went smoothly and on schedule since it was a weekday and there were no crowds. It was fun.

暑い 一日でしたが、日本人のガイドさんのもと20人程のツアーで
平日でどこも混んでなく
スムーズに時間通りの行程でした。
楽しかったです。

Even someone at the edge of the age limit like me was able to swim with the sea turtles comfortably.

Yama-chan's thorough explanations, consideration for our well-being, and the importance of enjoying the experience were all wonderful. Hikaru-kun took many photos and introduced us to recommended spots in Miyako Island.

I am truly grateful to both of them. For those who have concerns about age or physical fitness, rest assured that there are careful explanations and supervision, so you will be fine.

Definitely give it a try!

年齢制限ギリギリの私でも安心してウミガメさんと泳げました
山ちゃんの丁寧な説明　体調への気配り　楽しむ心の大切さ　　
ヒカルくんの沢山の写真の撮影　宮古島のオススメスポットの紹介

本当にお二人には感謝しか無いです
年齢や体力に不安のある方でも丁寧な説明と見守りがあるので大丈夫です
是非チャレンジしましょう

It was impossible to spend a long time on the microbus. The seats rubbed against my knees, and the hard seats made my body ache. It’s outrageous to use a bus meant for nearby transportation for such long trips. Furthermore, we had to endure two hours without a bathroom break after starting. I have no complaints about the rain; that’s something we can’t control. I think the person in charge should experience the microbus at least once to understand how painful and uncomfortable it can be. I’ve used this service several times before, but I have no intention of using it again in the future. It was truly a painful and difficult bus journey.

マイクロバスで長時間は無理　膝が擦れる座席　固いシートで身体が痛くなった　近隣への送迎バスを長時間バスに使用するとはとんでもない　さらにスタートして2時間トイレ休憩もなく我慢を強いられた　時より雨の天気は仕方のないことで不満はない　担当の方は一度マイクロバスで体験してみたらいい　どんなに辛く痛いか　これまで何度か利用したが今後利用する気はない　本当に辛く痛いバス旅だった

I had a great time. The weather was nice, the air was good, and the guide's explanations were excellent. Japanese mythology is fascinating. I felt the mysterious power of nature. I want to join the tour again.

めっちゃ楽しかったです。
天気も良く、空気も良く、
ガイドさんの説明も良く、日本の神話って面白いですよ。
自然の不思議なパワーを頂きました。
またツアーに参加したいです。

Since I was traveling alone, I thought it would be better to join a tour instead of renting a car. I was glad that we could visit the places I wanted to go to specifically. The bus guide's explanations made it even more enjoyable. I wondered if it would have been even better if the weather had been clear, as it was a bit foggy.

一人旅だったので、レンタカー借りるのもなぁと思い、ツアーに申し込みました。
行きたかった所がピンポイントで行けて良かったです。(o^^o)
バスガイドさんの説明もあったので、より深く楽しめました。\(//∇//)\
天気が靄っていたので、晴れだったらもっと良かったかなー？と思いました。^_^

It was my first time visiting Nara, so I used a sightseeing taxi. The driver was kind, lending me an umbrella and providing salt tablets, and he kept the car engine running during the tour, which was very considerate. The explanations at the sightseeing spots were thorough, and I learned a lot! I had an experience that I wouldn't have been able to have on my own. I really appreciated how he took care of my child; I’m so glad I used this service! Thank you very much!

初めての奈良観光でしたので、観光タクシーを利用させて頂きました。運転手さんは親切で日傘を貸してくれたり、塩分タブレットを用意してくれたり、観光中も車のエンジンをかけっぱなしにしてくれて、至れり尽くせりでした。観光地での説明も丁寧で、とても勉強になりました！個人では中々出来ない体験をさせて頂きました。子供にを気を使ってもらい本当に利用して良かったです！ありがとうございました！

The roads were narrow and there were many people, but we walked at our own pace. The guide was very nice, and the conversation was really enjoyable. We were underprepared for Mount Aso and were too lightly dressed, so we gave up the moment we stepped outside because it was too cold. However, the weather was nice at Takachiho Gorge, and we had a great time at Amano Iwato Shrine. It was my first bus tour, and it was a hard day starting early in the morning, but I had a fulfilling time.

道幅も狭く、人も多かったのですが、自分達のペースで歩いて行きました。ガイドの方が良い方で、お話もとても楽しかったです。阿蘇山は準備不足で軽装だった為、外に出た瞬間寒過ぎて断念しましたが、高千穂峡から天岩戸神社は天気も良く、満喫しました。バスツアーは初めてで朝早くからハードな一日でしたが、充実した時間を過ごせました。

This is my second time using Beltora, following Ishigaki. Just like last time, the staff took safety into consideration, allowing me to enjoy the activities with peace of mind. Although I didn't see any sea turtles, it was a fulfilling experience. The photos sent in the evening became great memories.

石垣に続き2度目のベルトラさんの利用です。
前回同様にスタッフの方々に安全を配慮してもらい、安心してアクティビティを楽しむ事が出来ました。ウミガメ見れませんでしたが充実した内容でした。当時夕方に送られて来た写真いい思い出になります。

Lunch at the market is delicious. Also, the discount coupons are very good. They eliminate the feeling of being overpriced. The crabs can also become quite cheap depending on negotiations.

市場での昼食が美味しい。また、割引クーポンがとてもいい。割高感がなくなる。蟹も交渉しだいで、かなり安くなる。

It was unfortunate that the weather was rainy and then clear, but considering my own actions, I thought traveling by bus and sightseeing was a good choice. By using the morning and afternoon courses on the first day of sightseeing, I was able to get an overview of Nagasaki City, which helped me plan for the following days. The guide's stories were also informative.

雨が降ったり止んだりのあいにくの天気でしたが、自分で行動することを考えると、バスでの移動、観光がよかったと思いました。観光初日に午前と午後のコースを利用したことで長崎市内の概要がわかり、2日目以降の計画を立てるのに役立ちました。
ガイドさんのお話も勉強になりました。

I was able to efficiently tour the remote islands for the first time. As soon as we got off the boat, a bus was waiting for us, so there was no wasted time. The sightseeing time on the island was just right.

初めての離島巡りで効率よく観光できました。
船を降りれば移動のバスが待機しており、無駄な時間がなかったです。
島での観光時間も丁度良かったです。

The guide was very kind, which was great. They provided detailed explanations at the tourist spots and continuously described the surrounding scenery on the bus.

ガイドさんがとても親切な方で良かったです
観光地での丁寧な説明とバスの中でも、周りの風景の説明をずっとして下さっていました

It was my first time taking photos of the starry sky, and I was very moved by the breathtaking view of the stars! The advice on poses was also helpful, making it the best memory of Miyako Island! Thank you very much. I would love to participate again if I have the chance!

星空フォトは初めてでしたが、満天の星空にとても感動しました！
ポーズのアドバイスもあり、宮古島最高の思い出になりました！
ありがとうございます。
機会があればまた参加したいです！

I participated with three friends for our first snorkeling experience. I was filled with anxiety, but thanks to our guide Yamachan's personality and attentive support, I was able to swim with peace of mind! And the sea turtles were incredibly cute and moving! It was completely different from seeing them in an aquarium!

シュノーケル初体験の３人で参加しました。不安だらけだったのですが、ガイドのやまちゃんのお人柄と丁寧な対応で、安心して泳ぐ事ができました！
そして、ウミガメ、めちゃくちゃ可愛くて感動！
水族館で見るのとは全く違う！って思いました。

We were considering traveling to Iriomote Island as a family, but since my elderly mother was with us, we decided to join a tour. The staff member who came to pick us up at the hotel had a wonderful smile that left a lasting impression, and I was moved to see that they also handled the boat operations. I'm sure all the staff are well-rounded individuals. They worked efficiently and responsibly. The explanations from the tour guide on the Nakama River were very easy to understand, and the time spent riding the water buffalo to Yubu Island calmed my usually restless heart. On the return boat, the splashes of water felt refreshing, making it a unique experience especially during the hot season. Thanks to participating in this tour, we were able to spend a happy time. Thank you very much. I would like to go to Ishigaki Island, Iriomote Island, and Yubu Island again on this tour.

西表島へは家族で行動しようと考えていたのですが、高齢の母が一緒だったこともありツアーに参加することにしました。ホテルまでお迎えに来てくださったスタッフの方の素敵な笑顔が印象的で、その方が船の業務もこなしているのを見て感動しました。きっとどのスタッフの方もオールラウンダーなのでしょう。テキパキと責任を持って働いていらっしゃいました。仲間川ではツアーガイドをされている方の説明も非常にわかりやすく、水牛に乗って由布島へ行く時間は日頃の荒ぶった心を穏やかにしてくれました。帰りのボートでは水飛沫がとても気持ちよく暑い時期だからこその体験が出来ました。このツアーに参加できたおかげで幸せな時間を過ごすことができました。ありがとうございました。またこのツアーで石垣島、西表島、由布島へ行きたいと思います。

We participated for the second time to guide our family around Osaka, and we had the same guide as the first time! As expected, the quality is better than if we explained it ourselves. Truly a professional. Wonderful!

家族に大阪案内のため２回目で２人で参加しました。１回目と同じガイドさん！当たり前だが自分で説明するより質がイイ。さすがプロです。素晴らしい！

For the past two years, I've mostly been on Chinese tours. It was nice to have a detailed explanation in Japanese after such a long time! The weather held up just enough. The guide also made sure we received our goshuin (temple stamps) without any issues. It was a great day. Thank you!

ここ２年ほど、中国語ツアーばかりでした。久しぶりに日本語だけの緻密な説明！いいです。お天気もギリもちました。御朱印ももれなくガイドさんに配慮頂きました。良い１日でした。ありがとうございます。

Safety first! Don't panic! I felt that the explanations at the tourist spots were excellent and to the point. Thank you very much.

安全第一！慌てない！の訓示。観光スポットでは、ポイントをついた説明が素晴らしいと感じました。
ありがとうございました。

In the morning, I enjoyed a relaxing stand-up paddleboarding session, and in the afternoon, I had a great time snorkeling in the cove. Both activities lasted about one to one and a half hours.

Although I had experience with both, I felt a bit anxious since it had been a while, but I received thorough instructions and was able to enjoy the experience. It was fine not to stand up on the paddleboard (I mostly sat), and if I felt uneasy while snorkeling, I could hold onto a float, so I think even beginners can enjoy it with confidence. The guides were very friendly and engaged in conversation, making the experience even more enjoyable.

午前中はのんびりSUP、午後は入江でシュノーケリングと1日ちょうどよく楽しめました。どちらも1時間〜1時間半ぐらいです。
どちらも経験はありましたが久しぶりだったので少し不安でしたが、丁寧にレクチャーを受け楽しく体験することができました。
SUPは無理に立たなくても大丈夫でしたし（私はほぼ座っていました）、シュノーケリングも不安ならフロートに捕まっていても問題なかったので、初めてでも安心して楽しめると思います。ガイドのみなさんもたくさん話しかけてくれるので楽しく会話しながら体験することができました。

I needed an umbrella because of the rain. The bus had audio guides available through earphones, so I wasn't bored. I enjoyed nature, including a visit to the crater from the Usuzan Ropeway. At the optional Bear Ranch, I was able to see bears of different ages and felt a connection with the bears that were around my age. Their sleeping姿 and the way they ate snacks while lying down were both amusing and brought smiles to my face. The meals, including seafood and meat, were delicious.

雨で傘が必要でした。バスの中はイヤホンを使用しての案内があり、退屈しませんでした。有珠山ロープウェイから噴火口見学できるなど自然満喫です。オプションのクマ牧場では年齢別のクマを見て自分と同じくらいの年代のクマに親近感が持てたり、寝ている姿や寝ながらおやつを食べる姿が、おかしくもあり笑顔になりました。お食事も海産物、お肉など美味しかったです。

I was able to see the real training scenes of ground staff, cabin crew, pilots, and maintenance personnel. The explanations were provided by current employees, and I was able to hear their stories of struggles.

実際の地上係員、客室乗務員、パイロット、整備士のリアルな研修風景が見れました。
説明も現役の社員が教えてくれて苦労話を聞くこともできました。

It was a fun tour visiting various places in Furano. Not only did our guide, Mr. Ito, explain the locations, but he also shared a lot of trivia about the history and current situation of the towns we passed through during our travels, which made for an enjoyable time.

At the souvenir shop, there were many other groups as well, and I was worried about making it back in time for the meeting, but that too became a good memory.

Thank you for the wonderful tour!

富良野の色々な場所を回る楽しいツアーでした😆。
添乗員の伊藤さんの場所の説明だけではなく、移動の時に通る街の歴史や今の状況など、たくさんの雑学を話して頂き、それも楽しい時間でした😆。
お土産を買う施設では他の団体さんもたくさんいらっしゃり、集合時間に間に合うか心配もありましたが、それも良い思い出です。

楽しいツアーをありがとうございました。

This is my second time participating! I was very satisfied both times! I would like to request it again next year! Thank you for taking so many different shots!

2回目参加です！
2回ともすごく満足！
また来年もお願いしたいです！
いっぱいいろんなパターン撮って頂いて
ありがとうございました！

I have visited Okinawa several times, but for some reason, I haven't been able to go to the Churaumi Aquarium. I decided to take a tour this time. I also enjoyed the meal at Sam's.

何度か沖縄に来ていますが、美ら海水族館に、なぜかいけず。思い切ってツアーにしてみました。サムズのお食事も、楽しませていただきました。

The early morning sea was beautiful and refreshing! I even got to meet a sea turtle! Thank you, Yamachan!

早朝の海も綺麗で気持ちよかったです！
ウミガメにも会えました！
やまちゃん、ありがとうございましたー！

A tour to visit Yakusugi Land and the Jomon Cedar.
I arrived at the airport before noon and had lunch at the airport cafeteria.
It was time for pickup, and the tour began.
From the name Yakusugi Land, I imagined a tourist facility, but it turned out to be a tour walking along a path in the mountains. You can choose between a 30-minute and a 50-minute course, so even those who are not confident in their walking abilities can participate. Even someone like me, who is nearly sixty and not very active, enjoyed the 50-minute course.
After that, we saw the Jomon Cedar and were taken back to the hotel.
The tour included a driver and guide. Seeing the trees while receiving explanations from the guide deepened my understanding and made for a more moving experience.

屋久杉ランドと紀元杉を観光するツアー。
空港にお昼前に到着し、お昼ご飯を空港の食堂で頂きました。
ピックアップの時間となったので、ツアー出発
屋久杉ランドという名称から、観光施設を想像していましたが、山の中を遊歩道に沿って歩くツアーでした。コースも30分と50分を選べて、歩きに自信のない方でも大丈夫です。ほぼ還暦の運動不足の私でも50分コースを楽しめました。
その後、紀元杉をみて、ホテルまで送ってもらうツアーです。
運転手兼ガイド付き。ガイドに説明を受けながら木を見ると、理解も深まり、より感動的な体験となります。
