All Reviews for Bus Tours

I was truly fortunate to encounter the snowy scenery of Shirakawa-go for the first time just before the go-to travel campaign was halted. There were few people, and it felt like being in a dream. I appreciated the concise information shared on the bus about the must-see points in Shirakawa-go and Kanazawa gourmet options. When tourism resumes, I would like to visit again in a different season.

go toトラベル停止直前に初めての白川郷で雪景色に出会えたのは本当に幸運でした。
人も少なく夢の中にいるようでした。
バスの中でも白川郷の見るべきポイントや金沢グルメ情報を簡潔に伝えて下さりありがたかった。
また観光が出来るようになったら、季節を変えて訪れたいと思います。

I was able to thoroughly enjoy sightseeing in the remote Noto Peninsula, which I usually can't visit. Since it was a three-day weekend, there were many participants, but they took measures to ensure social distancing, such as leaving empty seats next to us, which made me feel safe while sightseeing.

The lunch was also a fresh seafood bowl, as shown in the photo, and it was very delicious.

普段行くことのできない、奥能登をたっぷり観光できました。
3連休ということもあり、多くの参加者がいましたが、隣を空席にしてくれるなど、感染対策をしていただけて安心して観光ができました。

ランチも写真の通り新鮮な海鮮丼で大変美味しかったです。

During my 3-day, 2-night trip to Kanazawa, I learned about a bus tour to Shirakawa-go and made a reservation. The tour included enjoying the view from the observation deck in Shirakawa-go, followed by free time to explore. The lunch provided was not exactly wonderful, but it was satisfactory in both quality and quantity. You can also enjoy food sampling during your free time, which adds to the experience. On the way back, we stopped by a shop for a rice cracker-making experience. I would recommend this tour for those who want to visit Shirakawa-go for the first time due to its convenience. The cost is also reasonable, making it a perfect activity to complement your sightseeing in Kanazawa.

金沢に2泊3日で旅行した際に、白川郷へバスツアーがあることを知り予約。
ツアー内容は白川郷で展望台からの景色を楽しんだ後、自由散策。昼食はお世辞にも素晴らしいとは言えないが、質量ともに十分満足できる内容。自由散策中に食べ歩きもできるので、併せて楽しんでみてはいかがかと。帰りは煎餅焼き体験のお店に寄り道。白川郷に初めて行ってみたいと思う人には、お手軽さから推奨できる。費用も抑え目なので、金沢観光のついでとしては丁度良いアクティビティといった印象。

Although the weather was bad during the rainy season, it was a very satisfying tour! The guides were all very kind and attentive. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

雨季でお天気は悪かったですが、大変満足なツアーでした！ガイドさんは皆さんとっても親切で丁寧でした。最高の思い出をありがとうございました！

The schedule was well-organized, allowing us to make effective use of our time. The weather wasn't great, but we enjoyed each island. Cycling on Taketomi Island was also nice. Each of the guides was very kind.

スケジュールがしっかりしており、時間を有効に使えました。天気はイマイチでしたが、それぞれの島ごとに、満喫できました。竹富島のサイクリングも良かったです。それぞれのガイドの方もとても親切でした。

Thanks to the accurate advice from the veteran guide, I was able to fully enjoy Shirakawa-go in half a day. I wish there were afternoon-only tours available.

ベテランのガイドの方の的確なアドバイスのおかげで、半日で白川郷を十分に楽しむことができました。午後のみのツアーもあればいいなあと思いました。

If you take a glass-bottom boat in the main Kawahira Bay, you will have very little time to enjoy the scenery, which was the only downside. Everything else was almost satisfactory.

メインの川平湾でグラスボートに乗ってしまうと、じっくり風景を楽しむ時間が非常に少なくなってしまい、その点だけがマイナスポイントでした。
その他はほぼ満足でした。

I was able to see rare mangroves up close, cross the sea while being gently rocked by cute water buffalo, and learn about the unseen history and circumstances of the island through the guide's interesting and captivating stories. I was satisfied with everything.

珍しいマングローブを間近に見て、かわいい水牛に揺られて海を渡り、ガイドさんの面白く興味惹かれる話で目には映らない島の歴史や事情、今や思いをしりました。全てにおいて満足でした。

I think this is a great tour that allows you to efficiently visit the highlights of Ishigaki Island. Fortunately, the weather was favorable, and I was able to fully enjoy Kabira Bay, which I had been looking forward to. If I had to be picky, it felt a bit rushed, and the return ended at the bus center, so I had to take a taxi back to my hotel, which was a bit inconvenient. (I wish they had made that clear in advance.)

石垣島の見どころを効率的に回れる良いツアーだと思います。幸い天候に恵まれ、楽しみにしていた川平湾も存分に楽しむことができました。欲を言うと、ちょっと慌ただしいのと、帰りがバスセンター着で、ホテルにはタクシーで帰らなければならないのが今一つでした。（その旨を明示しておいて欲しい。）

I used the one-day course with lunch included. I was able to tour the entire island while studying Yakushima. I learned about various topics such as plants, animals, the formation of the island, and the climate. Thank you very much.

昼食付きの1日コース利用。屋久島の勉強をしながら島内一周の観光ができました。植物、動物、島の成り立ち、気候等々、いろいろ教えていただきました。ありがとうございました。

I had signed up for a tour with a rental car, but since I don't drive often, I was looking for a local tour and found this one that covers all the places I wanted to visit. We had plenty of time at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium and visited various spots, and it felt relatively relaxed. The admission fee is included, so I definitely think it's a great deal. Above all, it was great to efficiently visit the places I wanted to go.

レンタカー付きのツアーで申し込みしていましたが、あまり普段運転しないため現地ツアーを探していたところ行きたいところを網羅したこのツアーを見つけました。美ら海水族館でもたっぷり時間がとれ色々まわりましたが、割りとゆったりまわれたかなといった感じです。
入場料も込みなので絶対お得だと思います。
何より行きたい場所に効率良くまわれて良かったです。

The tour guide was kind and it was fun. During free time, I also enjoyed the hot springs and had a great time. I scheduled my return Shinkansen for a later time to allow for some extra leeway, but I arrived earlier than expected, so I could have taken an earlier train.

添乗員さん、親切で、楽しかったです。
フリータイムに♨にも入り、目一杯楽しみました。予め余裕持って帰りの新幹線は、遅めにしましたが、予定よりもはやく着いたので、一本前でも良かったです。

I was able to efficiently tour Shirakawa-go and Gokayama, which was very good. The scenery was wonderful. During the snowy season, I thought it was important to pay attention to things like non-slip shoes.

白川郷と五箇山を効率よく観光できたので、
非常に良かったです。
素晴らしい景色でした。積雪の時期は、滑らない
靴など、留意すべきと思いました。

Last time, I visited the Valley of Gangala on the same tour, so this time I visited Okinawa World. It was closed during my previous visit, but I found it to be a very flexible tour since it allows for a split between the two adjacent facilities.

I recommend focusing on specific activities, as visiting the Habitats Garden and participating in craft experiences can take up a lot of time.

Perhaps due to the low number of participants (10 people) during the COVID-19 pandemic, there were fewer bus pickup locations than announced in the itinerary, and we ended up finishing earlier than planned. I was unsure whether to have them drop me off at the airport when I signed up for the tour, but I was able to enjoy sightseeing in Naha after getting off at the north exit of the prefectural office until my flight departure time. I was very satisfied with how I could fully utilize my time.

The bus guide was different from the last time, but just like before, they were very enthusiastic! They even sang folk songs, making the ride and facility visits a very enjoyable and fulfilling half-day experience.

Thank you very much!

前回、同じツアーでガンガラーの谷を見学したので、今回はおきなわワールドを訪問しました。
その時はおきなわワールドが休日だったので無理でしたが、隣接しあう2施設を回る為に途中解散も可能とのことで、とても融通の利くツアーだと思いました。

おきなわワールド内のハブ園を見学したり、工芸体験等すると時間が足りなくなるので、目的を絞って参加されることをお勧めします。

コロナ禍で参加者が少なかったのか（10名）、バスの送迎場所が公表の旅程より少なくて済み、予定より早めの解散となりました。
ツアー申込時は空港まで送ってもらおうか悩みましたが、県庁北口で降りて飛行機出発時間まで那覇観光を楽しむことが出来ました。時間をフルに有効活用出来て大満足です。

バスのガイドさんは前回とは違う方でしたが、前回と同じく、サービス精神旺盛！！！民謡まで歌って下さり、乗車中も施設見学中も、お陰様でとっても楽しく充実した半日を過ごせました。

ありがとうございました！

We departed from Naha City around 9 AM to arrive at the sacred site of Sefa Utaki, which opens at 9 AM. It was impressive to visit this representative holy place of Okinawa, where national ceremonies were held during the Ryukyu Kingdom era. Upon entering Okinawa World, we first explored the limestone cave, Gyokusendo, located underground. It took us about 25 minutes to walk through at a leisurely pace. Above Gyokusendo, there is a theme park area that recreates the castle town of the Ryukyu Kingdom, which we spent the remaining time exploring. We had enough time at both sites. Since no one got off at Naha Airport, we arrived at Kencho-mae around 1 PM. It would be difficult to visit these two places in the southern region on your own in half a day, so we were able to enjoy an efficient sightseeing experience.

朝９時から入場できる斎場御嶽にあわせて那覇市内を出発して９時頃に到着しました。琉球王朝時代に国家的な祭事が行われてきた沖縄を代表する聖地で見ごたえがありました。おきなわワールドに入場してまず地下にある鍾乳洞の玉泉洞を見学しました。ゆっくり歩いて２５分くらいかかりました。玉泉洞の上がテーマパークになっていて琉球王国の城下町を再現されたエリアを残りの時間を使って見学しました。両見学地で時間が足りなくなることはなかったです。那覇空港で下車する人がいなかったので、１３時頃、県庁前に到着しました。半日で南部のこの２カ所を自力でまわるのは難しいので、効率の良い観光ができました。

The bus provided a thorough explanation, and I was able to enjoy the journey without getting bored, thanks to the trees and local dialect along the way. They also point out interesting sights and photo opportunities during the trip. Whether you're a first-timer or a repeat visitor, you can have a great time.

バスの中で丁寧な説明、道中木々や方言など退屈なく過ごせました。
移動中も見所わ撮影ポイントや教えてくれます。
初めてのかたやリピートの方でも楽しく過ごせます。

On the second day of my Kanazawa trip, I was considering visiting Shirakawa-go for a full day of sightseeing, but I was worried about the transfers on the bus.

However, I found this tour, and it was sufficiently satisfying in terms of the itinerary, and the lunch was delicious. The guide's assistance was appropriate, and I was able to fully enjoy Shirakawa-go.

Thanks to the favorable weather, I had absolutely no complaints. The price of the tour felt very reasonable.

金沢旅行の２日目、朝から１日使った観光として、白川郷を考えていましたが、路線バスの乗り継ぎなど、うまくいくか不安でした。
そこで見つけたこのツアーですが、日程的に十分満足できるもので、昼食もおいしかったです。
添乗員さんの案内も適切で、白川郷を満喫することができました。
天候にも恵まれたため、全く不満はありませんでした。
ツアーの金額は十分お得な感じがあります。

I was glad to be dropped off at the airport in the end. I think it would be good to include that on the last day. However, the only place I really enjoyed was Kabira Bay, so I have doubts about the significance of participating.

最後に空港で降ろしてもらえたのがよかった。最終日に組み込むとよいと思います。
ただ行ってよかったのは川平湾くらいなので参加する意義があるのかというと疑問でした。

I thought the tour would involve a guide explaining various things at each location, but in reality, we were able to set our own meeting times and explore at our own pace. It was especially nice to take our time at Fushimi Inari Taisha. Thanks to this opportunity, I mentioned to my mother that I would like to spend a whole day leisurely exploring Fushimi Inari Taisha next time.

We were able to visit Kiyomizu-dera right after its restoration was completed, and we could also explore at our own pace there. This time, we couldn't visit Kinkaku-ji due to restoration work, but instead, we went to Ryōan-ji. There, we were able to take our time admiring the garden and taking photos, which was great.

ツアーは添乗員さんが、各地でいろいろ説明していくものと思っていましたが、実際は集合時間を決めて自分たちのペースで思い思いに行動できたこと。特に伏見稲荷大社をゆっくりと回れたのはよかったです。
この機会をもらったおかげで、母と今度は一日かけてゆっくりと伏見稲荷大社を回りたいとはなしていました。
清水寺はタイミングよく修復完了した後にお参りができて、こちらも自分のペースでまわれました。
今回金閣寺は修復のため、拝観できなったのですが、代わりに竜安寺に。
こちらではお庭をじっくりと眺め、写真を撮ることもできてよかったです。

It turned out to be a very enjoyable day. I was anxious about how things would go with the bad weather, but I was welcomed by the cute water buffaloes, creating wonderful memories. Since I could choose my own return boat time, after touring the village with the water buffaloes, I was able to rent a bicycle from the neighboring building and go to the beach and some nearby places. I recommend bringing a raincoat as it seems to rain a lot during this season. Even when it rained along the way, I had no problem riding the bicycle thanks to the raincoat. I would like to visit again on a sunny day.

とても楽しい一日になりました。
天候が悪い中どうなるかと不安でしたが、、
可愛い水牛さん達にに迎えられステキな思い出となりました。帰りの船の時間が自分で選べるため、水牛さんとの村観光の後、隣の建物て自転車を借りてビーチや少しはなれた場所まで行くことも出来ました。
いまの時期は雨が多いそうですので雨ガッパをお持ちになることをお勧めします。途中雨が降っても雨カッパのおかげで問題なく自転車に乗れました。
今度は晴れた日に又訪れたいです。

The tour guide and the local guide at the Gangala Valley were both very skilled at explaining, and I was very satisfied with the tour itself. However, someone else who participated in the same tour and booked through a different site was able to use other discounts and even had a free option included, so I felt like I missed out a lot. I will make sure to compare other sites more before making a reservation next time.

ツアーガイドも、ガンガラー谷の現地ガイドもすごく説明上手でツアー自体はとても満足でした。
しかし、同じツアーに参加していた別のサイトで予約した方は他の割引も使えており、さらに無料のオプションも付いていたので自分はすごく損をした感じでした。
もっと他のサイトも見比べて予約するようにします。

I researched various options to make the most of our last day. We found a half-day tour around Ishigaki Island. Our flight was at 14:50. The tour included a guide, lunch, and transportation to the airport. The guide's entertaining conversations and Okinawan folk songs made the experience enjoyable. We arrived at the airport by 13:30. It turned out to be the best final day.

最終日無駄なく過ごす為色々調べました。有りました。私達は14:50発のフライトでした。石垣島一周半日ツアー。ガイド、ランチ、空港まで・・ガイドのおじさんの楽しい会話、沖縄民謡、空港には13:30到着。
最高の最終日になりました。

The guide at the Valley of Gangala had a connection to Shizuoka, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I was surprised that the bus on the day before and the day before that had WiFi, but the conductor from Toyo Bus sang Okinawan folk songs and performed a paper play, which was a lot of fun. I thought it was nice to have these traditional bus tours. The timing was perfect for returning to the city just as we got hungry after half a day!

ガンガラーの谷の、ガイドさんが静岡と縁があって、より楽しく参加できました。前々日と前日のバスがWiFi有リだったので、無しって！？思ったのですが、「東陽バス」のコンダクターさんが沖縄民謡を歌ってくれたり紙芝居をしてくれたり、楽しくて。こういった、昔ながらのバスツアーもイイなって思いました。半日でちょうどお腹がすくタイミングで、街中に戻る行程もイイですね！

You can take a tour around Ishigaki Island. It was my first trip to Ishigaki Island, and I was able to enjoy it in a short amount of time. The guide was a local, and their stories were interesting, so I never got bored. Lunch was included, and it featured small dishes that allowed us to taste a bit of the local cuisine, which was also tailored for tourists.

It was unfortunate that the weather was bad, but even with that, I had a great time. I recommend it for beginners.

石垣島を一周出来ます。初めての石垣島旅行でしたので、短い時間で楽しめました。ガイドさんは地元出身の方で、話も面白く、退屈しませんでした。昼食付きでしたが、昼食は、地元のものが少しずつ味わえる小鉢付きで、そちらも観光客向けでした。
天気が悪くて残念でしたが、それを差し引いても、楽しめました。ビギナーにはオススメです。

My first trip to Kanazawa. I never expected Shirakawa-go to be so close. I was lucky to visit this UNESCO World Heritage site that I had always wanted to see. I was able to stroll around at a leisurely pace, and the food was delicious, which made my friend who accompanied me very happy as well.

初めての金沢旅行。まさか白川郷がこんなに近いとは。いつか行きたいと思っていた世界遺産に行けてしまいラッキーです。散策もゆっくりでき食事も美味しくて、同行した友人も喜んでいました。

I want to participate again! The tour guide was cheerful and had a great vibe. During the ride, they provided various recommendations for restaurants and local specialties, which was very nice. However, it would have been perfect if they could have included one more sightseeing spot in the itinerary since there was enough time.

もう一度参加したい^_^
添乗員も明るくていい感じでした。
車内、移動中も食事におすすめ店や名産品など色々案内してくれてとても良かったです。
ただ時間に余裕あるからもう一箇所観光スポットを行程に入れてくれば最高^_^

My first visit to Shirakawa-go. It seems that snow had piled up the day before, creating a wonderful view. Since my daughter was wearing sneakers, our guide kindly provided us with plastic bags, which we used to cover our socks. The local cuisine we enjoyed in Shirakawa-go was also very delicious. The experience of making rice crackers was quite unique. During the bus ride, we were given tips about delicious restaurants and hidden gems, which really helped us the next day. Thank you very much!

初めての白川郷。前日から雪が積もったらしく、素晴らしい景色でした。娘がスニーカーでしたので、ガイドさんからビニール袋をいただき、靴下の上から履くという知恵も授かりました。白川郷でいただいた郷土料理もとても美味しかったです。
お煎餅焼きの体験、なかなか貴重なものでした。
バスの中でのお話で、美味しいお店や穴場も教えていただき、それが翌日とても助かりました。
本当にありがとうございました。

It's a warm and inviting tour! Even though it was a rainy day, the driver held an umbrella for us until we got on the bus, and the guide shared great recommended spots. I'm glad I signed up!

とにかく雰囲気が暖かいツアーです！
雨の日でしたがドライバーさんがバスに乗るまで傘さしてくれたり、ガイドさんおすすめのスポット教えてくれたり、申込してよかったです！

As a resident of Kyushu, I had always dreamed of seeing the snowy Shirakawa-go. I was very happy to see the beautiful Shirakawa-go, especially since just a week ago there was no snow at all. The male tour guide's stories were enjoyable and helpful for my trip to Kanazawa, and the service from everyone, including the driver, was excellent. The experience of making rice crackers in Toyama was also fun. It became a wonderful memory, and I’m glad I participated. Thank you very much.

九州在住の私は雪の白川郷は憧れでした。今回一週間前には1ミリも無かった雪が降ってくれて素敵な白川郷を見ることができとても嬉しかったです。男性添乗員の方のお話も楽しく金沢旅行の参考になり運転手さんも含めてとても対応が良かったです。富山のおせんべい焼き体験も楽しかったです。いい思い出になり参加して良かったです、ありがとうございました。

I have been to Okinawa about 20 times, but it was my first time visiting Kouri Island and Manza Beach. Personally, the time allocation was just right. (Pineapple Park might have been a bit long.) I felt reassured that hand sanitizer was available everywhere. It was great that they picked me up from the hotel I was staying at and dropped me off at my destination hotel on the way back. Staying at multiple hotels while being able to sightsee and travel was the best experience.

沖縄には20回程行っていますが、古宇利島、万座毛は初めてでした。
個人的に時間配分は丁度でした。
(パイナップルパークは少し長かったかも)
消毒液が至る所にあり安心しました。
宿泊してたホテルにてピックアップ、帰りは目的のホテルまで送ってくれたのが良かったです。
複数のホテルに泊まり、観光もできて移動も兼ねられたので最高でした。
