All Reviews for Bus Tours

Senmaida is really located right in front of the coast. There is a roadside station nearby where you can buy souvenirs. The seafood bowl for lunch was also delicious. From Rokkozaki, you could faintly see the Tateyama mountain range.

千枚田は、本当に海岸の前にあった。
道の駅が近くにあり、お土産も買えた。
昼食の海鮮丼も美味しかった。
禄剛崎からは、立山連峰がうっすら見えた。

From Noboribetsu Hell Valley to Cape Chikyu, a tour around Showa Shinzan, Lake Toya, and Lake Shikotsu. The view from Lake Toya was spectacular. For lunch, I ate at a place of my choice in the Lake Toya hot spring town.

登別地獄谷から地球岬
昭和新山、洞爺湖、支笏湖を巡るツアー。
洞爺湖からの景色は絶景だった。
昼食は、洞爺湖畔温泉街で好きなところで食べた。

It's suitable for those who don't have much time or can't travel by car since you visit many places. There were many participants from overseas, but the guide explained everything at each stop. The lunch break is short, so I think it's better to research in advance.

たくさんの場所を周るので、時間がなかったり車移動できない人に適してます。海外からの参加者が多かったですが、ガイドさんはその都度説明してくれました。昼食の時間が短いので、事前に調べた方がいいと思います。

I visited Ishigaki Island for the first time and participated in a tour. The weather was great, which made it very enjoyable. The tour was organized efficiently to cover the main points of the islands, and everything went very smoothly. I was able to learn about the charm of the Yaeyama Islands, so I would like to visit again and participate in other tours.

石垣島に初めて訪れ、参加しました。好天に恵まれとてもよかったです。ツアーは三島の主なポイントを効率よく見学できるようになっていて、とてもスムーズでした。八重山諸島の魅力を知ることができたので、また訪れて他のツアーに参加したいと思います。

Some areas are off-limits. "Seifa Utaki requires an additional fee of 300 yen."
The Eisa performance is wonderful. There is no announcement from the tour guide, so please check the showtimes in advance and make sure to see it.

一部立ち入り禁止になってます。「せいふぁうたきは別料金で300円必要｡」
エイサーは素晴らしいです。添乗員さんのアナウンスはないので事前にショーの時間を調べ是非見て下さい｡

I have stayed in Ishigaki Island for a total of about two weeks, and I have ridden around the island both clockwise and counterclockwise on a scooter, so I have a good understanding of the roads and information about Ishigaki Island. However, this time I signed up for a bus tour with my wife.

The highlight was the guide's storytelling. From 9 AM until just after 2 PM, he talked almost non-stop.

Moreover, he was always smiling and shared a wide range of deep topics, from "secret festivals" known only to locals to seasonal flowers and fruits. At the end, he played the sanshin and sang, making it a truly enjoyable memory.

I highly recommend this tour.

私は石垣島に合計２週間ほど滞在したことがあり、原付バイクで石垣島を右回りと左回りで周回したこともあり、ある程度石垣島の道と情報を知り得る立場ですが、今回妻と一緒にバスツアーに申し込みました。

最高だったのはガイドさんの話です。朝９時から終了の１４時過ぎまでほぼ途切れることなく、ずっと話してくれました。

しかもずっと笑顔で、地元の人しか知り得ない「秘祭」のことや、季節の花やフルーツの話まで幅広く深い話でした。最後には三線を弾きながら歌も歌ってくださり、本当に楽しい思い出になりました。

猛烈におすすめできるツアーです。

A different kind of sightseeing than usual. It was fun! The guide's explanations were easy to understand, and the one-hour duration was just right! ✨✨

いつもと違う観光。楽しかったです！
ガイドさんの解説もわかりやすく1時間という長さもちょうど良かったです✨✨

I participated alone. It would be very difficult to visit all these tourist spots by myself, but it's easy since you can take a bus right to the entrance. Plus, with the guide's explanations, it's a great deal.

1人で参加しました。
これだけの観光地を自分で回るとなるととても大変でしょうが
入口までバスで乗り付けて楽ちん楽ちん、、。
それにガイドさんの解説付きですからお得ですね。

It was my first time sightseeing in Kyoto, but it felt like a tour designed for foreigners. There was no explanation in Japanese, and we were left to explore on our own, with only the meeting time and place provided in Japanese. I think the open-top bus that allowed for hop-on, hop-off, which I rode the day before, was more valuable. I would have liked to have historical explanations available in Japanese, perhaps through an audio guide.

初めての京都観光でしたが、外国の方のためのツアーだった様な気がしました。
日本語の説明は無く、各自で観光する為、集合時間と場所の日本語のみで、前日に乗車した、オープントップバス乗り降り自由の方が、値があった様に思います。歴史的説明は日本語でも聞くことが出来る、イアホン説明でもして欲しいですね

After the Golden Week, I enjoyed a full-day bus tour blessed with beautiful weather. The cheerful and lively route guidance from our local guide, who resembled Fuka Koshiba, made the day enjoyable with her attentiveness. On the Western Forest Road, our veteran driver skillfully approached the yakuzaru and yakushika, allowing us to take photos multiple times. Although the group had a higher average age, everyone was able to walk energetically during the 50-minute hike at Yakusugi Land. We concluded the day by touching the Jomon Sugi, praying for our future health and longevity.

GW明け、晴天にも恵まれて１日バスツアーを堪能しました。
小芝風花さんに似た地元出身のガイドさんの明るく陽気なルート案内、気配りで１日中楽しめました。西部林道ではベテランドライバーさんの巧みな運転でやくざる・やくしかに優しく近づき何度も撮影できました。平均年齢が高めのグループでしたが、屋久杉ランドの５０分ハイクも皆さん元気に歩けました。最後の紀元杉タッチでは　今後の健康長寿を祈り　１日を締めくくりました。

The weather was great, and the forest bathing and power spot feeling at Hokkaido Jingu was fantastic. At the Okurayama Jump Stadium, it was wonderful to see the athletes jump, with Sapporo's Odori Park appearing to connect as if it were the landing point.

天気に恵まれましたが、北海道神宮の森林浴とパワースポット感が最高でした。 大倉山ジャンプ競技場では、選手たちがジャンプしたその先には札幌の大通り公園がまるで着地地点のように繋がる光景がステキでした。

The guide who accompanied us was a local, and they included information that only locals would know, which made it very enjoyable. Although there were many foreign participants on the tour, the guide was fluent in English, and I, as a Japanese person, also learned a lot. I would like to participate again.

添乗して頂いたガイドさんが地元出身の方で、地元の方しか知らない情報も
話に盛り込んで頂き、とても楽しかったです。
外国の方も多いツアーでしたが、英語も堪能で日本人の私も勉強になりました。また参加したいです。

I participated in this trip as a solo female traveler from Fukuoka. Half of the participants were Japanese and half were from overseas. The weather was chilly with rain followed by clouds, but the tour guide provided detailed explanations in both languages. At the sightseeing spots, I was able to take photos including myself, which will be a nice memory. I would like to visit again on a sunny day. I was lucky that the soft serve ice cream shop, which only opens on whimsy days, was open. It was delicious. I would like to use this service again when I travel to Hokkaido. Thank you very much.

福岡より女性一人旅での参加です
日本人半数海外からの参加が半数でした。天気は☂のち☁で肌寒い日でしたが、添乗員さんが2カ国語を使い分けて丁寧に説明して下さいました。観光スポットでは本人を入れて写真を撮って頂き記念に残ります。今度は晴の日に訪れたいと思いました。気まぐれな日にしか開かないソフトクリーム開いててラッキーでした。美味しかったです。又北海道へ旅行の際は利用したいです。有り難うございました。

The water buffalo cart I had always dreamed of! The water buffalo slowly crossing the shallow sea was so adorable. It was a sunny day, and the breeze felt nice. The sanshin music we heard inside the cart was wonderful. The gelato on Yufu Island was also delicious. I ended up getting a second helping!

夢だった水牛車！ゆっくり浅瀬の海を渡る水牛がとても愛らしく。当日は晴れていて風も気持ち良かったです。牛車の中で聞く三線も素敵でした。由布島にあるジェラートも美味しかったです。おかわりしちゃいました！

If you don't rent a car, it might be good to try this◎
I think you can visit the main tourist spots with meals included.

On the day I went, the guide was a charming older gentleman with a great sense of humor, and he even played the sanshin during the trip. His singing voice was truly amazing…!

Also, at Kabira Bay, if you want to take a boat, it costs about 1,000 yen extra, but the view from the boat is incredibly beautiful, so I personally recommend going for it! If you're lucky, you might even see a sea turtle◎

レンタカー借りないなら利用してみると良いかもです◎
食事付きで主要な観光地はそこそこ回れると思います。

私が行った日はガイドさんが渋みのある素敵なおじ様で、話は面白いし道中三線も弾いて頂きました。何よりすんごい良い歌声やった…！

あと川平湾ではボートを希望すると別途1000円ほどかかりますが、ボートからの景色が凄く綺麗で個人的には乗ることをお勧めします！
運が良ければウミガメが見れるかも◎

When I applied, I was a bit anxious about filling out the form in romaji, and when I actually went, there were only three Japanese people. The tour guide was a foreigner... Even though I was in Hokkaido, it felt like I was in another country. However, the tour guide was very kind and took great care regarding restroom breaks, so I didn't have to worry about that during the bus trip, making it a comfortable experience. Thank you very much. I had a great time.

申し込みの時は、ローマ字記入に少し不安があり、やはり行ってみると日本人は、3人だけ
添乗員さんは、外人…
北海道なのに外国に来てる様な世界に引きましたが添乗員さんが、とても親切でトイレの配慮もしっかりして下さりバス旅行ならでわのトイレの心配も無く快適なバス旅行になりました。
ありがとうございました。楽しかったです。

The Okinawa show, which is hard to see, and the long cave! I was also moved by the natural beauty of the Sefa Utaki and the sacred mountain, and the sea was truly beautiful!

なかなか見ることの出来ない沖縄のショーと、長い洞窟！また斎場御獄も自然と神の山に感動、さらに海が本当美しかったです！

A trip to Hokkaido with my elderly father and mother! However, we wanted to cover as many places as possible, so we joined a bus tour. We boarded at the TV Tower, but it was already fully booked. We ended up sitting on the last bench seat. I realized once again that boarding from the departure location is the best! Since it was a microbus, it was a bit cramped and narrow.

The guide was a young person whose Japanese was a bit hesitant, but they spoke fluent Chinese and English. Their expressions were so funny that I couldn't help but laugh. We explored the magnificent nature of Hokkaido! ✨ There were many breathtaking views, and I was continuously moved. We had lunch at Lake Toya, and the driver introduced us to a soup curry restaurant, where we enjoyed an incredibly delicious meal.

One of my companions forgot their backpack on the bus, but the next day, the young guide delivered it to the designated location. Their kindness made the tour feel even better. Thank you very much; I would love to join again!

高齢の父と母を連れての北海道旅行！
ですが、あちらこちらを網羅したい❗️という事でバスツアーに参加しました。
テレビ塔前から乗車しましたが、既に満席状態。1番最後尾のベンチシートに座りました。
出発場所からの乗車が良いと改めて実感！
マイクロバスだったので、狭くてちょっと窮屈でした。
案内人は、日本語が辿々しい若者でしたが
中国語と英語はペラペラ。表現が面白いのでついつい笑ってしまいました。
北海道の大自然をピンポイントで回る！✨絶景が望める場面が何度もやってきて、感動の連続でした。洞爺湖で昼食を取りましたが
運転手さんに紹介をしていただいたスープカレー屋さんに案内をしていただき、最高においしい食事もいただけました。
連れがバスにリュックサックを忘れましたが翌日、案内人の若者が指定の場所までしっかり届けてくれました。その好青年ぶりにツアーが尚更良く感じられました。ありがとうございましたまた乗りたいです。

The staff was very accommodating, and especially the bus driver provided a thorough and friendly commentary on the history of Iriomote, its nature, and the current situation of depopulation, all while mixing in some jokes. The boat was large and comfortable.

スタッフの対応も良く、特にバスの運転手さんは西表の歴史、自然や今の過疎化の現状、冗談も交えて丁寧なうんてんとガイドでした。
船も大型で快適

If you're going to Ishigaki Island, I recommend this for those who want to efficiently explore the island. The guide and driver from Iriomote Island has a gentle tone and provides a very detailed explanation of Iriomote Island. The guide on the cruise also gave a great explanation about the mangroves.

Additionally, riding the water buffalo across the sea is not just about the ride; during the journey, they share stories about the water buffalo and Yubu Island, and even play the sanshin and sing, which is a lot of fun.

On Taketomi Island, I chose to go cycling. In 90 minutes, since I’m not good at reading maps, I was focused on visiting three famous spots, and it ended in no time.

せっかく石垣島へ行ったなら、効率よく島を巡りたい方にはお勧めです。
お迎え、西表島のガイド兼ドライバーさんの口調も穏やかで、とても細やかに西表島の説明をガイドをしてくれます。クルーズのガイドさんのマングローブの説明もよかったです。
また、海を渡る水牛もただ乗車するだけでなく、乗車の間に水牛や由布島の話し、三線を弾いて歌ってくれて大変楽しめます。
竹富島ではサイクリングを選択。90分では、地図を読むのが苦手だったため、有名なスポット3つを巡るのに必死で、あっという間に終わりました。

The weather was great, and the conditions were perfect. This tour around Ishigaki Island offers excellent value for money. The veteran bus guide's narration was enjoyable, and the course ended in no time. I would like to join the tour with my family next time.

天気がよくて最高のコンディションでした。石垣島を一周めぐるこのツアーはコスパ最高です。ベテランのバスガイドさんの案内も楽しくあっという間にコースが終了してしまいました。今度は家族と一緒にコースに参加したいと思います。

Out of the 40 people on the tour, there were two groups of Japanese participants, and the tour guide, Mr. Oh (from Taiwan), spoke to us in three languages and provided information about souvenirs. I joined from Sapporo, and since I wasn't familiar with the souvenirs, I definitely want to buy some.

If lunch had been included, I think it would have been the perfect day trip tour. I would love to participate again.

４０人のツアーのうち日本人は２組でしたが添乗員のオーさん（台湾の方) の方が3か国でお話してくれお土産情報もおしえてくださいました。札幌から参加させていただきましたが知らないお土産でしたのでぜひ買ってみたいとおもっています
お昼ご飯もついてたらサイコーの日帰りツアーだったとおもいます　
また参加してみたいです

I don't think I could have visited this many spots in one day on my own. The guide's explanations and guidance were great, and I would like to use this service again.

個人では1日でこれだけのスポットは回れなかったと思います。ガイドさんの説明や案内も良かったし、また利用したいと思います。

I think it would have been difficult to visit the three islands individually, but since it was a tour, we were able to use our time effectively. I felt it was good to have come all this way. If possible, I would have liked to explore Taketomi Island a bit more leisurely. I wanted to see all the stunning beaches.

3島めぐりは個人ではスムーズに行けなかったと思いますがその点、思い切ってのツアーでしたので時間が有効に使えここまで来たのだから良かったと感じました。出来ればもう少し、竹富島をゆっくりと周りたかったです。絶景ビーチを全部見たかったです。

I participated in a water buffalo cart tour on Taketomi Island. I was a bit anxious about taking my one-year-old child on the tour, but the ferry from Ishigaki was very spacious and comfortable. Also, the sightseeing on Taketomi Island while riding the water buffalo cart was fascinating for both my child and me, and it ended in no time. My child is usually not very quiet, but we were able to enjoy this tour without causing any trouble, so I highly recommend it.

竹富島にて水牛車ツアーに参加しました。
1歳児の子供を連れてのツアーで不安でしたが、石垣からのフェリーは大変広く余裕があり、また、水牛車に乗っての竹富島観光も子供も私も興味津々であっという間に終わりました。
うちの子供は大人しくできない方でしたが、このツアーは何も迷惑かけることなく楽しめましたのでおすすめです。

The first stop on the tour, Sefa Utaki, was my second visit as I had been there during a previous trip to Okinawa. It gives off an impression of a mystical and sacred place. I visited Miibaru Beach for the first time, and it seems to be a hidden gem that even locals don't know much about. The water is crystal clear and quite spacious, making it enjoyable for a stroll. It seems they also operate glass-bottom boats, so if you sign up, you can see tropical fish as well.

ツアーの最初にある斎場御嶽は、以前沖縄を旅行した時に訪れたので、二度目でした。神秘的な聖なる場所という印象です。みーばるビーチは、初めてでしたが地元の人もあまり知らない穴場のようです。海が透き通っていて結構広いので散策を楽しめます。グラスボートも経営しているようなので申し込めば、熱帯魚を見ることも出来てるようです。

The weather was sunny and perfect.
I think the snowy scenery would be even more beautiful.
I want to try going in winter next time.

お天気は大晴れになって、最高でした。
雪景色の方はもっときれいと思います。
次回は冬に行ってみたいです。

It was my first time in Okinawa, and I was able to visit the famous spots in just one day. During the bus rides, the tour guide shared information about the facilities, history, and culture, so I was never bored while traveling. The time spent at each facility was a bit short, so it might not be suitable for those who want to take their time and explore leisurely. However, for those who want to see as much as possible during a limited stay in Okinawa, I think this is a great tour.

初めての沖縄だったのですが、1日で名所を回って頂けるとともに、バスでの移動中もバスガイドさんが随所で施設や歴史、文化のことを教えてくれるので移動中も暇なく過ごすことができました。
各施設の滞在時間は短めなので、時間を気にせずゆっくり巡りたいという人には向いていないかもですが、限られた沖縄滞在の中で、折角なら色々見たい！という人にはとても良いツアーだと思います。

From what I observed, it seems that you can visit the famous spots in Kyoto in just one day. However, the guidance is in English. If you have a bit of listening ability, I definitely recommend it. It's also a great learning experience with new discoveries. Thank you, Maria. Please guide me to another place next time.

見まわしたところ、京都の有名処を1日で回れるのはこれだけのようです。
ただし、英語案内。少し聞くチカラがあれば絶対にお勧め。勉強にもなります。新たな発見も。mariaさんありがとうございました。また、別の所のご案内をお願いします。

I participated with my elementary school daughter. Despite the crowds during Golden Week, we were able to efficiently visit four places, which left us very satisfied. The traffic wasn't a major concern either.

Since there was a limit on the time spent at each location, I did feel a bit torn, but it was a tour that connected to what we want to do next time.

More than half of the participants were from overseas, and the guide explained everything in English, making it feel like we were on an international trip. It was also helpful that explanations were provided in Japanese (laughs).

I recommend this for beginners in Kyoto sightseeing. Thank you for a wonderful trip!

小学生の娘と二人で参加しました。GWの混み合う中でしたが、京都初心者には効率良く4箇所も回れて、大満足です。渋滞も気になる程ではありませんでした。
1箇所の滞在時間に限りがある為、後ろ髪引かれる思いはありましたが、次回はこうしようと次に繋がるツアーでした。
参加者の半分以上海外の方で、ガイドの方も英語で説明され、海外旅行に来たかと勘違いしそうなレベルでした。日本語でも説明頂いたので、助かりました(笑)
京都観光初心者の方に、おすすめです。
楽しい旅をありがとうございました。
