All Reviews for Bus Tours

I wanted to go to the Churaumi Aquarium, so I joined a bus tour. It was a great experience as we were able to visit various facilities, not just the aquarium. The bus was equipped with infection control measures, including acrylic panels separating the seats in front and behind. Additionally, the bus guide provided various explanations during the trip, which made it feel like there was less chatter among the guests.

The guide's stories were interesting, making for an engaging tour. However, we visited too many facilities, resulting in short stays at each one. In particular, since we had lunch included, two and a half hours at the Churaumi Aquarium felt a bit rushed. The aquarium itself isn't very large, so it might be enough time to see it, but there are many other attractions in the park, such as the sea turtle facility and dolphin shows, which might make it less suitable for those who want to explore the entire aquarium thoroughly.

Regarding American Village, the stay was sufficient for the size of the facility, and the guide suggested we focus on specific shops we wanted to see. While there was guidance to look at specific places, there were no brochures distributed, so we had to research the shops we wanted to visit on our own. For large facilities like the aquarium and American Village, it would be helpful to receive brochures or facility maps in advance (especially indicating the bus stop locations) so that we could narrow down our choices during the bus ride and enjoy the experience more.

I believe this tour's selling point is the variety of places to visit, so such thoughtful considerations would be greatly appreciated.

美ら海水族館に行きたくてバスツアーに参加させて頂きました。
水族館だけでなく、色んな施設に行くことができ良い体験になりました。
バスの車内は感染対策がなされており、前後の席を仕切るアクリル板が設置されていました。また移動中はバスガイドさんが色々な解説をしてくれるため、お客さん同士の私語も少ないように感じました。
ガイドさんの話も面白く、退屈しないツアーでした。
ただ、色々な施設を回り過ぎて１つ１つの施設の滞在時間は少ないです。
特に美ら海水族館はお昼も兼ねていたため、2時間半では少し忙しかったです。水族館自体はそんなに大きくないので観るには十分かも知れませんが、公園内にはウミガメ館やイルカショーなど他にも見て回れる施設が多くあるため、美ら海水族館の施設全体をじっくり見たい方には少し不向きに感じました。
アメリカンビレッジについては、施設規模に対して滞在時間が足りたいため、見たいお店をピンポイントに見て回るようガイドさんから案内がありました。
ピンポントで見てくださいとの案内はあったのですが、パンフレットなどの配布はなく各自で勝手に行きたいお店を調べるような形でした。水族館やアメリカンビレッジのような大型施設は、パンフレットや施設地図(バスの停車位置が分かるとより嬉しいと思います。)などを事前に配布してくれた方がバス移動中に行きたいお店・施設を絞ることができ、より楽しめるように思えます。
色々見て回れることがウリなツアーだと思いますので、そういった心遣いがあると非常に嬉しく思います。

I had a very enjoyable and great experience! Before getting on, it was pouring rain, and I was worried if we would actually go out. However, by the time we boarded, the rain had stopped, and we were told to wear raincoats.

I put on the raincoat and got ready to board! Without a roof, it was incredibly thrilling. Usually distant signs, traffic lights, buildings, and street trees were right there... I was having so much fun while shouting, "We're going to hit something!"

I think if you go in with the mindset of getting wet, you'll have an amazing time! It felt like Splash Mountain! However, because the rain was so heavy, I couldn't hear the guide's voice at some points, which was a bit disappointing. I thought it would be nice to have speakers along the way, even if not for every seat.

If I have the chance again, I would definitely like to ride on a sunny day. Thank you for the valuable experience that only the rain could provide!

とても楽しく、いい体験ができました！
乗る前は大雨が降っていて、果たしてこれは走るのか！？と不安を抱えて集合場所に向かいました。
乗る時は雨が止んでくれて、レインコートを着て乗車という事でした。
頭からレインコートを被り、いざ乗車！
屋根がないだけあって迫力満点です。普段遠くにある看板、信号、ビル、街路樹がすぐそこに…。
当たっちゃうー！と騒ぎながら楽しむことができました。
濡れる気満々でいけばめちゃめちゃ楽しめると思います！　気持ちはスプラッシュマウンテン!
ただ、雨が強かったのもあって途中でガイドしてくれるお姉さんの声が聞こえなくなってしまったのが残念。
一席一席とまでは言わずとも、途中にスピーカーがあってもいいなと思いました。

また機会があれば今度は是非晴れた日に乗りたいと思います。
雨だからこその貴重な体験をありがとうございました。

I participated from Kyushu on July 13. It was more humid and tiring than I expected, but the lavender was in its best season, and I was very satisfied. The fully bloomed lavender has such a sweet and rich fragrance! The lunch was delicious, the driving was careful, and the guide was bright and fun, but not too loud—just right. It was a fun tour where I could see all the places I wanted to visit!

7月13日に九州から参加しました。
予想以上に蒸し暑く疲れましたが、ラベンダーはベストシーズンで大満足でした。
満開のラベンダーは、あんなに甘く濃厚な香りがするんですね！
昼食もおいしく、運転は丁寧で、ガイドさんは明るく楽しいけど、うるさすぎず丁度良い感じでした。
見たかった場所が全部見られるツアーで楽しかったです！

The guide's talk was very good, and everyone at the tourist spots was kind and accommodating. Of course, the scenery was also amazing. I'm glad I participated.

ガイドさんのお話がとても良かったし、観光地の皆さんも親切な対応で良かったです。もちろん景色も最高でした。参加して良かったです。

It seems that many people use a car to get to Churaumi Aquarium and Kouri Island from the area around Kokusai Street, but when I was wondering what to do since I don't have a driver's license, I found this bus tour.

When I actually participated on the day, the bus was large and beautiful, and the ride was comfortable. The bus guide provided explanations about various famous spots in Okinawa, which was very interesting.

Churaumi Aquarium, Kouri Island, and Manzamo were all places I visited for the first time, and I had a great time. The bus had partitions for COVID-19 measures, so I felt safe. If I have the opportunity, I would like to participate again.

国際通り付近から美ら海水族館や古宇利島に行くには車を使うことが多いようですが、免許を持っておらずどうしようかと思ってた時にこのバスツアーを見つけました。
実際当日参加してみると、大きく綺麗なバスで乗り心地も快適でした。バスガイドさんが沖縄のいろいろな名所について解説されてて、興味深かったです。
美ら海水族館、古宇利島、万座毛、どのスポットも初めて行く場所で楽しかったです。
バスはコロナ対策で仕切りもあり、安心できるかと思います。機会があれば、また参加しようと思います。

It can be difficult to get there by public bus, but a bus tour allows you to cover the area efficiently. The ride on the bus is comfortable, and you can listen to the guide's explanations, so I think it's better than going on your own.

公共バスだと行きにくいが、バスツアーで効率良く回れる。バスの乗り心地も快適。ガイドさんの説明も聞けるので自分で行くより良いと思います。

I participated in a tour of the World Heritage Site "Sefa Utaki" and the Gangala Valley.

It was a place that is difficult to visit alone, and I was able to spend a fulfilling half day there. I felt the essence of Okinawa, and it was educational as well.

The price was also reasonable.

The guide was kind and taught us various things (about Okinawa, dialects, history, etc.), and I am grateful for that.

Thank you!

世界文化遺産「斎場御獄」とガンガラーの谷のツアーに参加しました。

一人では行きにくい場所で、半日で充実した時間を過ごせました。
沖縄らしさを感じられ、勉強にもなりました。

料金的にも良かったです。

ガイドさんも親切でいろいろなこと（沖縄、方言、歴史など）を教えてくださり感謝しています。

有難うございます！

The bus ride back and forth was quite long, but the guide's stories were interesting, and I was able to enjoy the three hours spent at the zoo. It was very helpful that the guide shared tips on how to have a fun experience while visiting the zoo.

行きかえりのバス移動は結構長かったのですが、ガイドさんのお話しも興味深かったですし、３時間の動物園見学も楽しく過ごすことができました。ガイドさんから、動物園を見学するにあたって楽しく過ごすポイントなどを教えていただけたのがとてもよかったです。

It was a long journey, so I was worried that it might be boring, but contrary to my expectations, it was incredibly fun! The clean bus and stable driving, along with the charming bus guide's captivating stories about Okinawa and the pleasant Okinawan folk songs, made the trip enjoyable. Before I knew it, I found myself dancing along with gestures, laughing! By the time we reached American Village, I was exhausted, but everything was a perfectly balanced combination, and I definitely had a fun day! The weather was nice, which made me happy. I would love to participate again! Thank you very much!

長時間の旅内容でしたので退屈してしまうと辛いな…などと心配もしましたが、意に反して！めちゃくちゃ楽しかった☆清潔なバス、安定した運転の中、チャーミングなバスガイドさんの魅力的な心惹かれる沖縄のお話や沖縄民謡も心地よく、道中も相当楽しかった！気付いたら手ぶり付きでつられて踊ってしまってました、笑！最後のアメリカンヴィレッジでは、もうクタクタでしたが、全てがバランスの良い組み合わせで間違いなく楽しい一日を過ごさせていただきました！天気も良く嬉しかった。又、参加させていただきたいです♪ありがとうございました☆

I was able to learn about the geography, history, and dialects of Okinawa for the first time. The bus guide's explanations were very easy to understand and friendly, allowing us to spend the day without getting bored! The driver was also a very pleasant person, and they took thorough measures for sanitation, which made us feel safe throughout the trip. I usually travel by rental car, but this time I happened to join a bus tour, and I had a much more fulfilling day than I had imagined. I am very satisfied and would love to participate again. See you again!

初めて沖縄の地理的なこと、歴史的なこと、そして方言について学ぶことができました。
バスガイドさんの説明がとてもわかりやすく、親しみやすくて、飽きることなく一日過ごすことができました♪
運転手さんもとても感じの良い方で、除菌対策も万全にしてくださり、安心して過ごすことができました！
いつもレンタカー移動をしていて今回偶然バスツアー参加をさせていただいたのですが、想像以上に充実した一日を過ごさせていただくことができ、大満足です。またぜひ参加させていただきたいです。
またやーさい♡

It was a hot, sunny day. The occasional breeze felt nice. I think it was a great tour with plenty of explanations from the guide.

よく晴れた暑い日でした。時折吹く風が気持ち良かったです。ガイドさんの説明が盛り沢山で、良いツアーだと思います。

Lover's Park, the outer market, and the clock tower were filled with my favorite spots. It was a bit disappointing that the weather was a little rainy. The sea urchin rice bowl for lunch at the outer market was the best. It was a bit pricey, but I have no regrets about eating it!

恋人パーク、場外市場、時計台とお気に入り所満載でした。少し残念だったのは天候少し雨?!だったのは残念?!
場外市場での昼食にウニ丼は最高でした。時価?!だったけど食べて悔い無し?!

On the first day of my trip, I arrived in Ishigaki Island in the evening, so I decided to take this tour to get an overview of the island at the start of my journey. The guidebook mentioned that reservations needed to be made by 5 PM the day before, so I couldn't book directly with the bus company from home a week prior (related to COVID?). I was glad to be able to make an immediate reservation through Veltra. On the day of the tour, there were about seven groups on the large bus, so we had plenty of space to sit comfortably, and the frequent hand sanitizing made for a safe and secure bus tour. The female guide's explanations were easy to understand, and she taught us many things we didn't know. Additionally, her performance with the sanshin and island songs was soothing. The driver was also very kind, which made for a pleasant experience. Since I didn't use a rental car, I felt it was worth participating in this tour with lunch included, as it allowed us to efficiently visit the main scenic spots.

旅行初日は夕方石垣島着だったので、実質旅の始めに島の概要を把握しようと思って利用しました。ガイドブックから前日17時までの申し込みが必要となっていたので1週間前に自宅から申し込もうとしても直接バス会社には予約できない事になっていました。(コロナ関連？)ベルトラさんから即時予約が出来て良かったです。当日は大型バスに7組程の利用だったのでバスの中はゆったり座れましたし、頻繁な手指消毒で安心安全なバスツアーでした。女性ガイドさんの説明は分かりやすく、知らないことを沢山教えて頂きました。また、三線と島唄もお上手で癒されました。運転手さんもお優しいお人柄で気持ちが良かったです。レンタカーを利用しなかったので昼食付のこの料金で主な景勝地を効率良く観光出来たので参加して良かったと思います。

The weather was nice and warm, but since it was a bus tour with air conditioning, I was able to spend the day comfortably. The interior of the bus was clean, and they had alcohol disinfectant available as well.
The Blue Pond was very beautiful and exceeded my expectations.
At Farm Tomita, I was looking forward to the lavender fields, but it was too early in the season, so I couldn't see the entire area covered in purple. I wish I had gone 2 or 3 weeks later; it was disappointing.
Overall, it was a satisfying tour.

天気も良く、汗ばむ陽気でしたが、冷房の効いたバスツアーということで・・・快適に過ごせました。車内も清潔で、アルコール消毒なども完備してありました。
青い池はとても美しく、想像以上でした。
ファーム富田：お目当ては、ラベンダー畑でしたが・・・行った時期が早すぎ、一面紫色の絨毯は見る事ができませんでした。あと2，3週間遅ければ良かったのですが、残念です。
全体的に、満足のいくツアーでした。

I visited Senjyuji without any prior information and was pleasantly surprised by how wonderful it was. The chanting by the monk in front of the several-meter-tall Kannon statue was a truly great experience.

Since this temple is located quite deep in the mountains, I think it's great that it's included in the tour.

However, I found the meal time to be too short, and it was disappointing that Futamigaura was only viewed from the car window. In my personal opinion, I would prefer to skip the salt production facility visit and instead take about 90 minutes for lunch around Futamigaura, possibly at a nearby café, as that would likely enhance overall satisfaction.

全く前情報を得ずに訪れた千如寺だったが思いのほか良くて驚いた。特に数メートルもある千手観音像の前での僧侶による読経は大変良い経験になった。
これが結構な山奥にあるのでツアーに組み込まれているのはありがたいことだと思う。
残念な点は食事時間が短すぎなのと二見ヶ浦が車窓のみだったところです。個人的な意見だが、塩製作所の見学はいらないのでその分二見ヶ浦周辺で90分ぐらい昼食休憩を取って、近くにあるcafeでランチのほうが満足度が高いと思う。

I used it for one day during my 3-night, 4-day trip, and I was very satisfied as I was able to see a lot. The only disappointment was the fog at Cape Chikyu, and the tour guide apologized, but you can't win against nature. Thank you to the driver. I appreciated how hard the tour guide worked to explain everything. There were many sightseeing points, and although each stop was short, next time I want to explore at my own pace.

3泊4日の1日で利用しましたが、沢山見学出来て、大満足です。チキウ岬の霧だけが残念で、添乗員さんが謝ってましたが、自然には勝てません。運転手さん有難うございました。添乗員さんが一生懸命説明してたのが好感持てました。沢山の見学ポイントで各ポイントは短時間でしたが、今度は自分の足で、ゆっくり周りたいです。

The other two tour companies I initially researched seemed to have stopped accepting reservations until July 31, leaving me at a loss. However, I found Veltra's website and was able to make an immediate reservation.

Although there was growing concern about the rapid increase in COVID-19 cases in Okinawa, I felt reassured by the thorough measures in place, such as temperature checks and hand sanitization at the meeting point. It seemed that the number of passengers was also adjusted, allowing for a comfortable seating arrangement.

After the Nakabaru River cruise and a round trip to Yufu Island by water buffalo cart, we were able to efficiently enjoy sightseeing on Taketomi Island within the limited time. I was delighted that Veltra allowed us to choose up to two options for activities on Taketomi Island, fulfilling my eager wishes.

最初に調べた他の2社の観光会社は7/31までの募集を停止していたようで予約できず、途方に暮れていた所、VeltraさんのHPに辿り着き即時予約が出来ました。
沖縄県でも連日感染者が急増中だったので、不安もありましたが、集合時の検温、手指消毒等も徹底してあり、乗船人数も調整されてたようでゆったり座れました。仲間川クルーズから水牛車で由布島往復後、竹富島での観光など、限られた時間の中で効率良く観光できるように考えられていると思いました。ベルトラさんは竹富島でのオプションを2つまで選ぶ事ができたので欲張りな願いが叶えられて嬉しかったです。

We departed on a weekday with two participants! It felt a bit awkward to have the place to ourselves, but there was no traffic, and with such a small group, there were no delays in gathering, allowing us to move efficiently.

In Shirakawa-go, we had a generous three hours for exploration, including lunch, and we were able to visit lesser-known photo spots, recommended homes, and souvenirs that our guide shared with us. We could visit all the open homes, and it was fascinating to see the unique features and innovations of each one.

Although we only viewed the Suganuma village in Gokayama from the car, it was evident that it is a small, real community where people live, and I felt that tourists shouldn't disturb it too much.

The Ainokura village also had a quiet, lived-in feel, making it feel like we were intruding. After a five-minute climb from the parking lot, there was a viewpoint where we could see the small village nestled in the mountains, and I imagined how harsh the winters must be there. It can be explored in about an hour, but I thought it would be nice to stay overnight (even though I said we shouldn't disturb it...).

Both the guide and the driver were experienced, which made us feel at ease. I would love to visit again in a different season. Thank you!

平日出発で参加者は2名！貸し切り状態で申し訳ない感じでしたが、渋滞も無く、少人数なので集合遅れも無く、さくっと効率よく廻れました。

白川郷は昼食を含めてたっぷり3時間の散策時間があり、ガイドさんが教えてくださった、知る人ぞ知るフォトスポットやお薦めのお宅、お土産、をくまなく見学することが出来ました。
公開されているお宅は全て見学でき、お宅毎の特徴や工夫を見ることができ興味深かったです。

五箇山の菅沼集落は車窓からでしたが、こじんまりとした、リアルに生活している集落である事が見て取れ、あまり観光客が荒らしてはいけないなと感じました。

相倉集落も生活感のある静かな集落で、お邪魔させていただく感じです。
駐車場から5分程山を登ると展望できるスペースがあり、山あいの小さな集落で冬は厳しいのだろうなと想像できます。
1時間ほどで見て回れますが、ここは一泊してみたいと思いました。（荒らしてはいけないと言いつつ。。。）

ガイドさんもドライバーさんも慣れていらっしゃる方々で安心でした。
また異なる季節にお邪魔したいと思いました。
ありがとうございました！

I participated alone while on a business trip. The tour content was good, but the tour guide was a wonderful person who provided thorough guidance and care, making it a very satisfying day trip bus tour! I definitely want to participate again. Thank you very much.

出張ついでに１人で参加しました。
ツアー内容も良かったですが、添乗員さんが素敵な方で丁寧な案内、気遣いなど十分満足出来る日帰りバスツアーでした！また必ず参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

On a night with thick snowfall, the warm glow of thatched-roof houses standing close together is wonderful, but this time I discovered the charm of Shirakawa-go in the height of summer. The generous sun nourishes the lush green rice fields, the sky is a clear blue, and the thatched roofs shine with a vibrant yellow like a Van Gogh painting, with all the colors vividly decorating the rural landscape. The guide's gentle yet humorous narration made the passing scenery even more enjoyable.

分厚い積雪の夜、肩を寄せ合うように立つ茅葺き屋根の灯火も素晴らしいものですが、今回は盛夏の白川郷の魅力も発見できる旅でした。惜しみなくそそぐ太陽は、深緑の稲を茂らせ、抜ける空は青く、茅葺き屋根はゴッホの絵のように輝く黄色を放ち、全ての色彩が鮮やかに里山を彩りました。添乗員さんの穏やかな中にもユーモアのあるガイドは過ぎゆく風景を何倍も楽しませてくれました。

I want to mention one thing first: for some reason, the meeting time is set for 9:10, but the bus departs at 9:30, making the early arrival completely pointless. I hope this can be reviewed as it wastes time.

It's a bus tour that takes you around famous spots, and the amount of lunch provided is sufficient. Since I was traveling alone, this option was more convenient for exploring the island than renting a car. If you wish, they can drop you off directly at the airport, which can save you from the hassle of moving on the last day. Of course, you can also return to the city and engage in another activity in the afternoon. It's easy to combine with something else, so there's a high level of flexibility.

一点だけ先に言うと、なぜか集合が9:10までとなっているがバスの出発は9:30であり、早く行く意味が全くなかったので、設定が意味不明であった。時間が無駄になるので見直してほしい。

著名なところをざっと回ってくれるバスツアーで、昼食の量も十分。自分は一人旅だったので、車をレンタルするよりもこちらの方が島内を周遊するのには利便性が高かった。
希望すればそのまま空港に降ろしてくれるので、最終日に活用すると面倒な移動も節減できる。もちろんそのまま市街地に戻り、午後後半で別のアクティビティを行うのもよいと思う。何か別のものと組み合わせやすいので、柔軟性が高い。

I was able to adjust the schedule to fully explore the Itoshima Peninsula. The extreme heat was tough, but I think it's great for first-time visitors.

糸島半島を、ぐるっと時間を調整しながらスケジュールが全うできるようにしていただきました。猛暑は、こたえましたが初めての人にはいいと思います。

I was worried about the weather, but at Lake Shikotsu, it was beautifully clear and I had a great time. In particular, the sightseeing boat tour at Lake Shikotsu, which I paid extra for, offered a stunning view of the blue lake bottom with Ezo chub swimming around. The lunch at Lake Toya was also delicious, and I was able to see Mount Usu and Showa Shinzan, making it a cost-effective bus tour.

天気がどうなるか不安な状況でしたが、支笏湖では無事に快晴でとても楽しめました。特に別途、支払って参加した支笏湖の遊覧船は、真っ青な湖底にエゾウグイが泳いでいる光景は、なかなかの見所です。洞爺湖での昼食も美味しかったですく、有珠山、昭和新山も観れたので、コスパのいいバスツアーでした。

It was a very hot day, but the ox cart on Taketomi Island provided shade, making it comfortable. The guide's explanations and the sanshin performance were great. The mangrove tour on Iriomote Island also had well-highlighted points and was full of attractions.
Next, I want to challenge myself with canoeing on Iriomote Island.

　とても暑い日でしたが、竹富島の牛車は日陰が提供されていたので楽ちん。ガイドさんの説明&三線も良かった。西表島のマングローブ遊覧もポイントを抑えた説明で見どころ満載。
　次は西表島でカヌーに挑戦したいです。

This time, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the in-car tour guide was through headphones. It was very easy to understand. It was a bit disappointing that the guide was somewhat businesslike.

今回は、コロナ禍なので車内の観光案内はヘッドホーンでした。
とてもわかりやすかった。ガイドさんは事務的だったのが少し残念‍♀️

I was able to get a good grasp of the city of Osaka in a short time by touring around the city in the two-story open-deck bus in the morning and afternoon. I also bought a lottery ticket and enjoyed some delicious food. The underground shopping area in Umeda felt like a maze, and I almost got lost. I could feel the excitement building up for the upcoming Osaka Expo. In the evening, I was treated to a margarita and a shandy at the hotel lounge. If there are any more plans from Veltra, please let me know, including those overseas.

2階建オープンデッキバスで大阪市内を午前・午後と巡り短時間で大阪の街を把握できました。宝くじも買い、美味しいものも食べてきました。
梅田の地下街は迷路のようで迷子になりそうだった。大阪万博の開催に向けて
勢いを実感しました。夜はホテルのラウンジでマルガリータとシャンディ・ガフをごちそうになりました。
また、ベルトラの企画がありましたら海外も含めてぜひお知らせください。

The mangrove tour was great, with the guide providing thorough explanations! I could really feel the mysteries of nature. The bus tour was also fun, as the driver and guide kept the atmosphere lively with interesting talks! The highlight was Yubu Island! The little water buffalo that had just debuted was so cute. The view of crossing the sea was lovely as well. There were many rare tropical plants on the island, which was wonderful! I was also satisfied to take a photo with the water buffalo at the end! However, my child took a long time to eat lunch, so the free time felt a bit short... I wished we could have explored a bit more. I think once my child gets a bit older, we might be more satisfied with that aspect.

マングローブツアーもしっかりとガイドさんが説明してくれてとてもよかったです！
自然の神秘を感じられました^^
バスツアーも運転手さん兼ガイドさんが面白いトークで盛り上げてくれて楽しかったです！
一番は由布島！デビューしたての小さい水牛さんがとても可愛かったです。
海を渡る光景も素敵でした。
島の中も珍しい南国の植物がたくさんありとてもよかったです！
最後は水牛さんと写真も撮れて満足でした！
子どもがお昼ご飯を食べるのに時間がかかってしまい自由時間が物足りなく感じました…。もう少し回りたかったです。また子どもがある程度大きくなったらその辺も満足なのかなと思いました。

What I often see on TV are the Polar Bear Pavilion, Penguin Pavilion, and Seal Pavilion. Of course, these are highlights that are worth seeing, but unexpectedly, the Hippo Pavilion was great. I was impressed by the lively and active hippos. It was the first time I saw such cheerful hippos. It was surprising to see their bellies and the bottoms of their feet through the glass from below. I felt like I could watch them forever.

The Wild Ezo Brown Bear Pavilion was also good. The bears looked a bit like gangsters. I definitely wouldn't want to run into one of them anywhere. If I had more time, I would have liked to see the Peacock House as well. I regret missing that part.

TVでよく見るのはほっきょくぐま館、ペンギン館、あざらし館ですね。こちらはもちろん見応えがあるハイライト館ですが、思いがけず良かったのはかば館です。生き生きしたアクティブなかばさんたちに感動しました。初めてあんな楽しげなかばさん達を見ました。下側からガラス越しに見られるお腹や足の裏などびっくりです。無限に見ていられると思いました。
ワイルドなえぞひぐま館も良かったです。ヤクザっぽいくまさんでした。絶対どこかで出くわしたりしたくないです。時間があればクジャク舎の方も見たかったです。このあたりは見逃してしまったのが心残りです。

All the activities were very good, but I was really tired, probably because I had children with me. It might be better to split it over two days. I recommend it for those who don't have much time.

すべてのアクティビティは、とても良かったですが、子供もいたせいかすごく疲れました。2日に分けても良いかな。時間がない方はおすすめです。

It was good, but since I usually rent a car and travel on my own, I felt the pace was different. After all, I thought I would like to explore on my own with a rental car during my precious time. So, I wasn't disappointed with the bus tour; it just felt like a different type of experience. However, I had been disappointed with glass-bottom boats in the remote islands of Okinawa several times, so I was unsure about participating. But I thought there would be nothing to do if I was just dropped off at a port for an hour, so I decided to join as an additional option, and it was amazing. I was moved by the Shakotan Blue, and the feeding of the seagulls at the end was shocking. This was a place I would never have gone to on my own, so just encountering this option transformed the tour into a great satisfaction for me. I was thinking of rating it as disappointing, but this one experience changed it to a positive one. I think it would be good to incorporate it into the tour, but then the price would go up, so I wonder if it's a strategy to create the illusion of an affordable tour. What do you think?

よかったですが、個人でいつもレンタカーを借りて旅行をしているので、ペースが違ってしまったって感じです。やはり、せっかくの時間はレンタカーです自分で回ろうと思いました。ですので、バスツアーが悪くてがっかりしたわけではありません。タイプが違うかったなあと言った感じです。ただ、グラスボートは沖縄の離島で何度か乗っていつもがっかりしていたので、どうしようかと思ったのですが、１時間何もない港に放り出されてもすることななあと思って、追加オプションで参加してみたけど、これが最高でした。積丹ブルーに感動した上、最後のうみねこの餌付けは衝撃的でした。個人では絶対なら行かなかったところなので、このオプションに出会えただけでこのツアーが大満足に変身するくらい良かったです。
がっかりに評価しようと思いましたが、この一撃で良かったになりました。
ツアー内に組み込んだらいいと思うのですが、そうすると料金が高くなるので、お手頃ツアーに錯覚するための作戦かとも思いますが、どうでしょうか？
