All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

Since I don't usually exercise, I had concerns about my physical stamina, so I requested a private guided tour. The guide was considerate in timing our visits to photo spots, rest areas, and restrooms to avoid overlaps with other guests. They encouraged us during tough sections and points where fatigue set in, while also providing explanations and fun stories as we climbed to Jomon Sugi! Given the long duration of the tour, I think it would have been quite challenging without the guide. They took many photos for us, and I'm glad I made the request. Thank you, guide Hirata!

ふだん特に運動はしていないため、体力面で不安があり、貸切のガイドツアーをお願いしました。
他のお客さんと写真スポットや休憩場所、トイレ等のタイミングをずらすように配慮しながら案内していただき、きついところや疲れが出てくるポイントで声掛けをしていただいたり、説明や楽しいお話もしていただきながら縄文杉まで登ることができました！
長時間の行程なので、ガイドさんなしではかなりきつかったと思います。
写真もたくさん撮っていただき、お願いして良かったです。
ガイドの平田さん、ありがとうございました！！

Just by riding the bus, we arrived at the zoo! It was so easy. The bus guide also shared stories at just the right pace, which was enjoyable. We had a 20-minute bathroom break at the service area, which was just right. However, since we arrived at the East Gate (I think the front entrance is crowded), we had to go down from the top of the hill and then climb back up, which was a bit tough.

バスに乗っているだけで、動物園に到着！
楽ちんです　バスガイドさんも適度にお話しをしてくださって楽しかった
SAでトイレ休憩は20分　ちょうどいいです
ただ、到着が東門のため（正面だと混んでいるのだと思いますが）山の上から下に降りて登ってこないといけなくてちょっと大変です

It was a great experience with my family. Not only was the food delicious, but the driver was a rare female. Unfortunately, we couldn't enter Kamoi Cape because of the bears. However, the weather was fantastic, and I'm glad we signed up for this day.

跟家人一起，不僅餐食好吃+司機是少見的女生。可惜是因為有熊所以無法進入的神威岬。但天氣非常之好，幸好有報名這天。很棒的體驗。

I was guided by an experienced guide, which made me feel safe participating. It was also nice that I was placed in a group with people around the same age. I was happy to have photos taken at various points. The 10 hours were quite tough, but I'm glad I decided to join.

経験豊富なガイドさんに案内していただき、安心して参加することができました。年齢が同じくらいの方たちと同じグループにしてくださったのもよかったです。ポイントで写真を撮っていただき嬉しかったです。10時間はなかなかきつかったですが、思い切って参加して良かったです。

Taketomi Island has many attractions, and my free time passed in the blink of an eye. The beach and the streets with red-tiled roofs were wonderful, creating a soothing atmosphere.

竹富島は見どころが多くフリータイムはあっという間に過ぎてしまいました。浜も赤瓦の街並みも素敵で癒される空間でした。

It was actually a solo trip, but my sewing class teacher, who is 81 years old, joined me, and since public transportation was not feasible, we opted for a bus tour, which was enjoyable. It was easy and reassuring because the bus took care of everything for us. Thank you for your support.

本当は一人旅行でしたが、洋裁教室の先生が８１歳で参加に成り、交通機関は無理だからバス旅行にしましたが、楽しかったです。バスが乗せて連れて行って下さるので楽で安心でした。お世話に成りました。

We participated in our first stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) experience and sea turtle snorkeling as a family of five on Miyako Island. It was our first time doing SUP, but the staff were very cheerful and kind, which made us feel safe and glad we participated. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see any sea turtles while snorkeling, but a funny guy from Kansai with a wonderful smile worked hard to take pictures with Nemo, and we are grateful for the lovely memories captured in those photos. Thank you!

初めての宮古島で家族5人で初sup体験とウミガメシュノーケリングに参加しました。初めてのsupでしたがスタッフ方がとても明るく親切で安心して体験する事ができ、参加して良かったです。シュノーケリングは残念ながらウミガメには会えませんでしたが、笑顔が素敵な関西人の面白いお兄さんが一生懸命にニモと撮影して頂き、素敵な思い出の写真も感謝です。ありがとうございます。

A few minutes' walk from the nearest station. The door of the locker where you can store your luggage next to the entrance has the name of the airport on it, which was exciting right from the start. I also got to see the history of ANA and training scenes. The full flight simulator where pilots train was operational and looked impressive. This is definitely a spot that airplane enthusiasts should check out.

最寄りの駅から徒歩で数分
入口脇にある荷物を預けられるロッカーの扉には空港の名前がついていて、いきなりワクワク、ANAの歴史や訓練風景も見れました。パイロットが訓練しているフルフライトシュミレーターが稼働していてかっこよかった。飛行機好きにはぜひ見て頂きたいスポットです。

We participated as two people who love traveling by plane. I had always wanted to see the newly renovated training facility, so I was happy to have the opportunity to observe the training in progress! I became even more of an ANA fan.

飛行機で旅行することが大好きなふたりで参加しました。
新しくなった訓練施設をずっと見てみたいと思っていたので、タイミングよく訓練中の様子を見ることができたのは嬉しかった！
ますますANAファンになりました。

Yume's explanation was clear and easy to understand, and her attention to detail as a woman was impressive. I'm glad I participated this time. Thank you!

ゆめさんの説明がハキハキしてわかりやすかったし、女性ならではの気配りがよくできてて今回参加してよかったです。
ありがとうございました！

I was glad that I could visit the places I wanted in a short amount of time. For lunch, I spent a lot of time deciding which restaurant to choose at the outer market, and it took a while for the food to come out, so I ended up not having enough time to pick out souvenirs. It would have been better if we could have had a little more time.

短時間で行きたい所が回れて良かったです。
お昼ご飯は、場外市場でどのお店にしようか迷って時間がかかり、更に料理が出てくるのに時間がかかって､お土産品を選ぶ時間が無くなってしまいました。もう少し時間を長くとってもらえると良かったです。

I wanted to visit Shirakawa-go, but access is difficult if you go on your own, so I made a reservation.

Even on a weekday, it was almost full, with only two Japanese participants. It seemed that all the other participants were Chinese. The guide's explanations were mostly in Chinese.

There was no traffic, and I was able to comfortably reach my desired destination, so I was glad I used this service.

白川郷に行ってみたく、自分で行くにはアクセスが悪いため申込。

平日でもほぼ満席で日本人は2人のみ。他の参加者はどうやら全員中国人。ガイドさんの説明は9割中国語でした。
渋滞もなく快適に行きたい場所へ行くことができ利用してよかったです。

I went with Naoki-kun's team!!! It was so much fun! I was very satisfied to see the coconut crab! Thank you very much!!

なおくんチームで行ってきました！！！
めちゃくちゃ楽しかったです！
ヤシガニも見れて大満足です！
ありがとうございました！！

My elderly parents participated together. They were happy that the guide said, "You can take a break here if you get tired," and took many photos for them. They also mentioned that the lunch was very delicious! I'm glad we included lunch. We were very satisfied to visit the highlights of Kyoto in one day. Thank you!

高齢の両親が2人で参加しました。ガイドさんには、｢疲れたらここで休憩してもいいですよ｣と声をかけていただいたり、写真もたくさん撮ってくれたと喜んでいました。昼食もとても美味しかった！と言っていました。ランチ付きにして良かったです。
1日で京都の見所ある観光名所を回れて大満足でした。ありがとうございました！

It was my first time and I had a lot of questions, but the guide kindly explained things along the way. The pace was faster than I expected, and there wasn't much time to leisurely enjoy the scenery, but I was able to work up a good sweat!

初めてで分からないことだらけでしたが、ガイドさんが丁寧に所々で説明をして下さいました。思った以上にペースが速く、周りの景色をゆっくりと見る時間は少なかったですが、いい汗をかくことが出来ました！！

I arrived at Kaimanjima for the 22:20 start time. It was my first time on a remote island, and I was nervous since there were almost no streetlights.

I managed to pit in early at what seemed like the meeting place, and when I stepped outside, fireflies were dancing around, and the sky was filled with stars 🌌. I was so impressed by the beautiful sky, just like when I was a child (;[];)

Thanks to Afro-san's appearance, I recognized him right away, and we moved to the spot with just my phone as a light source. When I turned it off, the surroundings were filled with stars 🌟. It was the first time I saw the Milky Way so clearly down low. I've participated in several starry sky tours, but this was the most beautiful one yet.

He also gave precise pose advice for the photos, and we finished quickly! It seems the retouched photos will arrive in about a week. I'm looking forward to it ⸝⸝> ̫ <⸝⸝ ︎

Since the photos are taken one group at a time, you can enjoy yourself without worrying, so I highly recommend it.

22:20分の開始に来間島へ。
初めての離島に、街灯もほぼなくドキドキ。

なんとか集合場所らしき所に早めにﾋﾟｯﾄｲﾝし、外に出たら蛍も飛び交い空は満天の星空🌌子供の頃みて以来の綺麗な空に大感激(;[];)


アフロさんの見た目のお陰で直ぐに分かって、スポットへ移動は携帯のみ持参。ライト代わり。消したら周りは星一面🌟 天の川があんなに下の方にクッキリ見えたの初めてです。 星空ツアーいくつか参加しましたが、過去一綺麗でした。

写真も的確にポーズアドバイスしてくれて、サクッと完了！1週間ほどレタッチ等して届くそうです。楽しみ⸝⸝> ̫ <⸝⸝ ︎

1組ずつ撮影なので気にせず楽しめるのでオススメです。

The guide, Mitsuhashi, was a great person, and the weather was wonderful, so it was the best time ever!!!!

三橋ガイドさんが良い人で、天気も恵まれたので、最高楽しかったです！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！

The world of mythology and the breathtaking natural wonders were great. Even with my 65-year-old stamina, I managed to keep up. We were the only Japanese people there, but we had a wonderful time.

神話の世界と、自然脅威の絶景。良かったです。65歳の体力でもなんとか付いていけます。日本人は私達だけでしたが十分に楽しめました。

I participated with an elementary school student. Since we didn't have a car, we opted for a bus tour, and along the way, the guide shared a lot of useful knowledge about Okinawa, which was very educational.

At Sefa Utaki, we had some extra time, so we enjoyed the stunning views at Chinen Misaki. In the Gyokusendo Cave, they provided us with insect repellent spray and let us carry a thermos of salted barley tea, allowing us to explore leisurely for about an hour. It was cold and very refreshing.

We arrived at the airport around 1 PM, and we were able to spend a very meaningful morning.

小学生と二人で参加しました。
車がないのでバスツアーにしましたが、道中ガイドさんのためになる沖縄知識をたくさんお話してくださり大変勉強になりました。
斎場御嶽は時間が余ったので知念岬で絶景を楽しみ、ガンガラーの谷では虫除けスプレーをしてくれ、塩麦茶の水筒を持たせてもらい約1時間ほどゆっくり探索できました。冷たくてありがたかったです。
空港には13時ごろに到着して、午前中をかなり有意義に過ごせました。

It was a bit of a tough schedule, but I was glad to be able to visit several landmarks in one day. The guide was knowledgeable, and the explanations were easy to understand. I was impressed by the beautiful scenery of Hokkaido. If I have the chance, I would like to experience another course as well.

少しハードなスケジュールでしたが、一日で何箇所の名所巡ることが出来て、よかったです。ガイドさんも専門的、説明も分かりやすかったです。北海道の素晴らしい風景に感動しました。機会があれば、別のコースも体験したいと思います。

- During the hot summer, I was able to conserve my energy while sightseeing slowly by taking the bus.
- On the bus and at the sightseeing spots, the bus guide shared various stories without pause, making it very enjoyable and never boring.
- The stories at the temple and participating in the tour greatly enhanced my understanding and satisfaction.

・暑い夏、バス移動で体力温存しながら、ゆっくり観光できた。
・バスの中や観光地で、バスガイドさんから色々なお話を絶え間なくお話し頂き、飽きなくとても楽しかった。
・お寺でのお話し、ツアーに入ることで、何倍も理解が進み満足。

We participated as a family of four. After the typhoon, the event was rescheduled by a day, and thanks to that, the sea was clear and very beautiful. Our guide, Hikaru, was very kind and attentive, allowing us to enjoy the sea with peace of mind. The various stories shared were also enjoyable. We got to see sea turtles and Nemo, and we took wonderful photos, which made us very satisfied! All the pictures were fantastic, which was another pleasant surprise. The kids also seemed very happy, saying, "The big brother was so nice!" Thank you for sharing information about restaurants and tourist spots! We created the best memories in Miyako Island, and I am truly grateful. If we come to Miyako Island again, we would definitely like to request this tour! I highly recommend it! ❤︎

家族4人で参加させていただきました。
台風明けで、1日ずれての開催にしてくださり、おかげで海が澄んでいてとても綺麗でした。
ガイドのひかるさんが、とても優しく、気遣いもたくさんしていただき、安心して海を楽しむことができました。色んなお話も楽しかったです。
ウミガメやニモにも会えて素敵な写真も撮っていただき大満足です！！
写真がどれも素敵でそれもまたびっくりしました。
子供達も、お兄さんが優しかったー！と大満足の様子でした。
ご飯屋さんや観光スポットの情報なども教えていただきありがとうございました！
宮古島での最高の思い出ができ、本当に感謝です。また宮古島に来た際は、ぜひお願いしたいです！とってもオススメのツアーです❤︎

I went during the Obon holiday.
It was close to 35 degrees, but the bus was cool and comfortable.
With explanations in both English and Japanese, we understood the highlights well, and when we got off the bus to explore the area, it was great that the kids had a sense of purpose in what they were seeing!
I was worried it might be tough for the younger elementary school kids in this heat, but they were able to recharge their energy on the bus and found things they wanted to see and do at the attractions, allowing them to enjoy the exploration.
Both adults and children were able to have fun.
Thank you!

お盆休みに行きました。
35度近い中、バスの中は涼しく快適。
英語と日本語の解説があり、程よく名所の内容がわかったところで、バスを降り現地を巡るので、子供達も見るものの目的意識がついてよかったです！
小学生の低学年にはキツイかなぁ〜、この暑さ大丈夫かなぁ〜、と思ってましたが、バスでエネルギーを貯め、名所で見たい物ややりたいことを見つけて散策できていました。
大人も子供も楽しむことができました。
ありがとうございます。

Noboribetsu's Hell Valley has a sulfur smell similar to Hakone, giving it a hot spring feel. You might not fully appreciate it unless you stay overnight. Lake Toya was magnificent and beautiful. The balloon pudding and drinking yogurt were very delicious, but due to the Obon holiday, some dining places were closed, resulting in long lines... The bear ranch, which I didn't have high expectations for, turned out to be enjoyable with the cubs, food-catching bears, waving bears, and lazy bears!

登別の地獄谷は箱根と同じく硫黄臭いで温泉感あり。一泊しないと良さがわからないかも。洞爺湖は雄大で奇麗でした。風船プリン・飲むヨーグルトは大変美味しかったですが、お盆休みで食事処がお休みもあって行列が長くて。。。あまり期待していなかったクマ牧場が、子熊・餌キャッチ熊・手を振る熊・怠惰な熊など楽しめました！

At Cape Kamui in Shakotan, bears were spotted, and there were some restrictions on parts of the walking paths. However, we were blessed with clear weather, and the views from Cape Kamui and Shimamu Coast were magnificent and beautiful! On the other hand, Otaru was too crowded with young people, which made it feel a bit hectic. The dining places were also busy! It was a little disappointing!

積丹神威岬ではクマが出没し、遊歩道の一部通行制限がありましたが、晴天に恵まれ積丹神威岬や島武意海岸からの眺めは雄大で奇麗でした！一方で、小樽は大勢の若者で賑やかすぎて、あくせく感がありました。食事する場所も混雑！ちょっと残念！

Thanks to our premium driver, Mr. Saito, we had a very enjoyable trip! He was friendly from the moment he arrived, which made even our shy child smile from start to finish. When we come to Kyoto again, I would like to request Mr. Saito specifically. Thank you very much!

プレミアム運転手の斉藤さんのお陰でとっても楽しい旅になりました！
入りから気さくに入って来ていただいたので人見知りの子供も最初から最後まで笑ってばかりでした。
また、京都へ来る時は斉藤さん指名で来たいと思います。
有難う御座いました。

Having Chinese friends made the guided tour in Chinese extremely helpful. We were able to fully enjoy the northern course, and it seemed that we received useful advice from the guide for our activities later on.

中国人の友人達だったので中国語ガイド付きは非常に助かりました。コースも北部を満喫出来ましたし、後日以降の活動に役立つアドバイスをガイドさんからいただいていたようでした。

I found a tour just for the Shakotan Peninsula! I signed up immediately. Last year, on the same day, the sightseeing tour at Lake Toya had terrible weather due to a typhoon. This year, it was a complete revenge with the best weather. At Cape Kamui, we could only go as far as the gate that prohibits women due to bear sightings, which was disappointing. But the surrounding scenery was amazing. The lunch was better than I expected. I also recommend the optional sightseeing boat in America since it's a great opportunity. The guide made a lot of announcements, which was nice. It was a fantastic tour with great cost performance, and I even got change from 10,000 yen. I highly recommend it!

積丹半島だけのツアーを探してたらあった！即決申し込みしました。昨年同日の洞爺湖等観光ツアーでは台風で最悪の天候。
今年はリベンジとばかり最高のお天気になりました。神威岬では熊出没情報の為、女人禁制の門までしか行けず残念。でも周りの風景は最高でした。昼食も思っていたよりよかったです。美国でのオプション観光船もせっかくの機会なのでおすすめです。
ガイドさんがたくさんアナウンスしてくださったのも良かったです。一万円でお釣りがきたコスパ最高のツアーでした。
すっごくおすすめです！

It had been a while since I swam in the ocean, and I was quite tired, but the sea was so beautiful, and I was able to see many fish, which made me very satisfied! There was a little incident where my friend's fin came off, but we were able to keep going without stopping since we got a spare fin!

海で泳ぐのは久々で、かなり疲れたけど、すごく海が綺麗で沢山の魚を見ることができ大満足でした！
途中で友達のフィンが取れるハプニングがありましたが、変えのフィンを貰えたので止まることなく進めました！

During my trip from Honshu to Sapporo, I decided to make a reservation to visit a place I hadn't planned on initially. Although the lavender at Farm Tomita and Shikisai no Oka had already been harvested, the flowers were still beautifully in bloom.

【Positive Points】
- At the lunch venue, you can order wine and other drinks for an additional fee (I heard grape juice is also available).
- While there was no lavender, other flowers were blooming, so you can still enjoy the visit if you're not solely focused on seeing lavender.

【Thoughts】
- There seemed to be a shop at the lunch venue, but for some reason, it was closed.
- Since the destinations are all popular spots, everywhere was quite crowded (there was a long wait for food).
- Most of the time was spent traveling, and gradually, the little children on the bus were getting bored.

本州から札幌まで旅行中、始め予定はしていなかったけれどやはり一度行きたいと思い立ち予約。
ファーム富田も四季彩の丘も、ラベンダーはもう刈り取られた後でしたが綺麗にお花は咲いていました。

【良かった点】
・昼食会場は別料金を払えばワインなども頼める(ぶどうジュースもあるそうです)
・ラベンダーは無いけれど、花自体は咲いているので絶対ラベンダーを見たいというわけでなければ楽しめる


【思った事】
・昼食会場に売店があるようだが、なぜか開いていなかった
・行き先が人気がある場所ばかりのため、どこも混雑が酷い(その場で食べるもの系はだいぶ並びます)
・大半が移動のため、バスの中でだんだん小さなお子様が飽きてしまっていて来ていた
