All Reviews for Bus Tours

The weather was great, and the guide was very polite, which made it enjoyable. However, we experienced a bus breakdown in the mountains, and since our phones had no signal, we were stuck for two hours. We couldn't communicate about meal times, which made us very anxious. Eventually, a replacement bus arrived, but instead of arriving at the hotel at 5 PM, we got there at 7 PM. This was the first time I experienced something like this.

天気にも恵まれ、ガイドさんもとても丁寧な方で楽しかったです。
最後に山中でバスが故障し、携帯もつながらず2時間動きがとれませんでした。食事の時間の連絡もできなくてとても不安でした。
なんとか代わりのバスが来て、ホテルに17時に、着く予定が19時でした。
このような事は初めてでした。

I couldn't use it easily because I didn't know where the bus stop was. It seemed cheap yet expensive... But the weather was nice and pleasant.

バス停が分からずなかなか使用できなかったです。安いような高いような…
でもお天気で気持ちよかったです。

The waves were high and the ferry was really rocky because it was right after the typhoon! All three islands were great! I especially loved the relaxed atmosphere of Taketomi Island. It's a shame that if the weather had been better, I could have taken even more beautiful photos...

台風直後だったので波が高くてフェリーの揺れがすごかった！！
3島は全てよかったです！！特に竹富島はのんびりした空気がすごく好きです。お天気がよければもっと、素敵な写真がとれたのに残念でした、、、

I was able to efficiently visit the highlights of Yakushima. The sightseeing bus had hand sanitizer at the entrance, and the windows could be opened for ventilation. Perhaps because the windows were open, a giant fly got in, but the guide killed it with a towel.

For those who want to see Yakusugi but feel that walking to Jomon Sugi is a bit much, you can easily visit Yakusugi Land to see the ancient cedar trees. They took 50 minutes to walk the 30-minute course, making it a tour that is friendly for small children and the elderly. Of course, you don't need hiking boots, but a friend who participated in sandals got bitten by a tick. I recommend sneakers.

Overall, it was a very good tour!

屋久島の見所を効率的にまわれました。観光バスには入り口に消毒薬があり、かつ、窓を開けて換気ができました。窓を開けてたからか、巨大アブがはいりましたが、ガイドさんがタオルで殴って殺してくれました。
屋久杉はみたいけど、縄文杉まであるくのはちょっとという方には、気軽に屋久杉を見れるやくすぎランドにもたちよれます。30分コースを50分かけてあるいてくれて、小さい子や老人にも優しいツアーです。登山靴などもちろん不要、ですが、サンダルもどきで参加した友人はヒルにかまれていました。スニーカーをお勧めします。
全体的にとてもよいツアーでした！

The guide was amazing! I had a great day at an unbeatable price! The lunch was substantial, and I was very satisfied. I was able to take advantage of a great deal and signed up just a day in advance, and I'm really glad I did!

ガイドが凄く良かった!　破格価格で一日楽しめました!　しっかりしたランチ付でとても満足できた。良いところ取りで、急遽一日前に申し込んだがほんとに良かった!

On the day I arrived in Ishigaki Island, I participated in the water buffalo cart course. The water buffalo cart ride was leisurely and enjoyable. Since I had time until the return boat, I rode a bicycle to the beach. It was hot, but the beach was very beautiful, and I was able to have the best time.

石垣島到着日に、水牛車コースで参加しました。水牛車はのんびりと楽しかったです。帰りの船まで時間があったので、自転車でビーチへ。暑かったけど、とてもキレイで最高の時間を過ごすことができました。

I felt that the rainy days had more charm. The tour guide was very polite. I think it's a good idea to ask about delicious restaurants. Overall, it was a great tour.

雨の日のほうが風情がある気がしました
ツアーガイドの方はとても丁寧。
美味しいお店は聞いた方がいいかと。
総じていいツアーでした。

The driver was polite and made me feel at ease. They kindly helped with the order in the dining area. The all-you-can-eat melon exceeded my expectations. It was delicious!

運転手さんも丁寧で安心できました。食堂でオーダーも手伝ってくださり、親切でした。
メロンの食べ放題は期待以上でした。美味しかったです！

I visited Northern Okinawa for sightseeing. Due to the impact of COVID-19, there were only three of us, but I am grateful for the guide's hard work. Please keep it up!

沖縄北部観光でした〜〜コロナの影響で3人と大変少ない人数でしたが、ガイドさんは一生懸命やって頂き感謝しています。これからも頑張ってくださいね。

Due to COVID-19, I traveled around Yakushima while being mindful of social distancing. Since it was a solo trip and time was limited, I was really happy to efficiently visit the sightseeing spots in just one day. The guide provided detailed explanations, and I fell in love with Yakushima's nature. Thank you very much. I would like to visit again to receive the power of the gods.

コロナでしたので、ソーシャルディスタンスに気をつけながら屋久島周遊をしました。
一人旅で時間も限られていたので1日効率良く観光地を回れて本当に楽しかったです。
ガイドさんも詳しく説明してくれたので、屋久島の自然が大好きになりました。
ありがとうございました。
また神々のパワーをもらいに訪れたいです。

This was the first activity after arriving in Ishigaki Island. I participated with my university friends. Initially, I was worried it might not be very exciting since we would just be riding cows, but once we got on, the guide played the sanshin and sang, and explained the island's attractions, making it a very enjoyable experience.

石垣島に来て最初のアクティヴィティでした。大学の友達と一緒に参加しました。当初は牛に乗るだけだからあまり盛り上がらないのかもと心配でしたが、乗ってみると添乗員さんが三線を引いて歌を歌ってくださったり、島の名所を説明してくださったり大変楽しい体験になりました。

The bus guide was a veteran, and both the explanations and singing were excellent, making it an enjoyable experience. Since there were only two families with small children, it was great that we could move at the same pace. I had no expectations for the monkey park, but once we went, we really enjoyed activities like feeding the animals. The soy sauce shop we stopped by along the way had great products, and I was able to make some good purchases. On the narrow road returning from the movie village, there was a moment when we had to pass an oncoming car, but the driver skillfully navigated the difficult road in reverse, and I thought the driver was very skilled. I highly recommend it.

バスガイドさんがベテランで説明もお歌も大変お上手で、楽しめました。小さな子供のいる二つの家族だけだったので、同じペースで行動出来て良かったです。おさるの国は全く期待していなかったのですが、行ってみたら餌やりなど、結構楽しめました。途中で立ち寄った醤油屋さんのお店も品物が良く、良い買い物ができました。映画村からの帰りの狭い道で、対向車とすれ違う場面があったのですが、難しい道をバックでうまく切り抜けてくれて、運転手さんもレベルが高いと思いました。お勧めします。

The souvenir shops along the way usually have many samples, but due to COVID-19, there are hardly any. The aquarium has also canceled all events. Well, on the bright side, you can enjoy watching the fish slowly without the crowds.

途中の土産物屋は試食が多い店だがコロナの影響でほとんど無し。
水族館もイベントはすべて中止。まぁ密にならず魚をゆっくり見ることが出来るのでその点は良い。

I had a great time. The guide worked really hard and went quite a bit over the scheduled time... (laughs)

とても楽しかったです。ガイドさんが頑張り過ぎて、予定の時間をだいぶオーバーしちゃいましたが。。（笑）

I searched for a tour that wouldn't be crowded for my elderly mother, who has health issues, and decided to join this one. On the day of the tour, it was just me, my mother, and her friend participating. They took thorough measures for temperature checks, sanitization, and maintaining distance between guests, so the COVID-19 precautions were excellent. Both my mother and her friend were very satisfied and said they wanted to try this in all four seasons! I was also thrilled by the beautiful night view of Tokyo, and I can't forget the impressive sight of Tokyo Tower that day. I am very grateful to all the staff who organized the tour while making efforts to prevent infections during the pandemic. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

高齢で持病ありの母のために、密にならないツアーを探しこちらに参加しました。
当日は私、母、母の友人の３人で参加。
検温、消毒、お客さん同士の間隔もしっかりとられていて、コロナ対策もばっちりでした。
母も母の友人も大満足で、春夏秋冬すべての季節に挑戦する！と言っていました。
私も綺麗な東京の夜景に大興奮で、あの日見た東京タワーの迫力は忘れられません。
コロナ禍の中、感染防止に努めながらツアーを開催して下さっているスタッフの皆さまに大感謝です。
素敵な思い出をありがとうございました。

On the cruise around Iriomote Island, the female captain was skilled in both guiding and maneuvering the boat, providing detailed explanations about the mangroves that were very easy to understand. The bus driver also gave us a tour of the island, which allowed us to hear more about Iriomote than we had expected. We were fortunate to see the adorable sight of a mother water buffalo and her newborn calf, as it coincided with the calving season. The water buffalo pulling the cart was very gentle and smart, making us feel a bit guilty for having it carry our weight. Although it was a short time, we enjoyed a relaxing experience with the sound of the sanshin and the boatman's singing. If I had to say something, there were many explanations about the Iriomote wildcat, so I wished I could have seen a specimen or photos somewhere.

In the afternoon on Taketomi Island, we initially planned to only rent bicycles and not ride the water buffalo cart. However, as soon as we arrived at the Taketomi Island Tourist Center, a female employee quickly asked, "What about the water buffalo? Aren't you riding? Bicycles? Fill this out!" I was confused about where to write what, and as I hesitated, she let out a big sigh and left the area, glaring at us from a distance. We were left unattended, but later, another employee helped us, and we were able to rent bicycles. However, the childish behavior we encountered right after arriving on Taketomi Island ruined the excitement we had been looking forward to. It was frustrating to see an employee who seemed to be annoyed when tourists didn't follow the routine they expected. To be frank, I believe that the tourism and hospitality industry is not suited for such individuals. If they want to work at their own pace, they should choose a desk job at home. In hindsight, I even wish I had scolded her on the spot for her rude behavior. The first employee at the Taketomi Island Tourist Center would likely realize this was about her if she saw it.

While the response from the other employees was good, it was disappointing that just one person left a negative impression. Of course, Taketomi Island itself was a wonderful place, so when I visit again, I hope to enjoy my trip without relying on the Taketomi Island Tourist Center.

西表島のクルーズでは女性の船長さんでガイドも操縦も上手、マングローブを詳しく説明してくれてとても分かりやすかった。送迎バスのドライバーさんも島内の案内をしてくれるので思っていた以上に西表島の話しを聞くことができて良かったと思う。由布島の水牛もちょうど子牛が生まれた時期と重なり可愛らしい親子の姿を見せてもらうことも出来ました。水牛車を引く水牛はとても大人しくお利口さんで重たい私達を運んでもらうのが申し訳なくなるほど。短い時間でしたが三線と船頭さん？の歌声でのんびりした時間を楽しむことが出来ました。しいて言えば西表やまねこの説明が沢山あったのでどこかで剥製や写真などでも見てみたかった。

午後の竹富島では水牛車には乗らずレンタサイクルのみの予定でしたが、到着後竹富島観光センターに着くなり女性の従業員が水牛は？乗らないの？自転車？これに記入して！と矢次早に言われどこに何を書いて良いのか分からずに戸惑っていると「はぁーっ」と大きなため息をつかれその場を離れていき離れたところからからこちらの様子を伺いを睨みつける始末。放置された私達でしたがその後他の従業員さんが対応して下さり無事に自転車を借りることができたのですが、竹富島到着後すぐにこのような子供じみた対応をされ楽しみにしていた気分は台無しにされました。暑い中毎日同じルーティン作業で観光客が思った通りに動かないと面倒になり不貞腐れる従業員。はっきり言わせてもらいますが観光業、接客業は向いていない。自分のペースで仕事をしたいのならデスクと向き合う在宅の仕事を選んだら？と言いたい。というか今となればその場で叱り飛ばしてやれば良かったとさえ思うほど腹の立つ対応だった。竹富島観光センターの最初に担当した従業員がこれを見たら自分の事だと察しが着くでしょう。
他の従業員さんの対応は良かっただけにたったその1人のせいで残念な思いが残ってしまった。
もちろん竹富島自体はとても素敵な所でしたので次回訪れる時は竹富島観光センターにはお世話にならず楽しめる旅にしたいと思います。

The wind was strong, but it was a beautiful sunny day, perfect for a tour! I chose the glass-bottom boat and bus sightseeing plan on Taketomi Island, and the bus driver was really great—he took photos for us, showed us how to find star sand, and told us about power spots. I was torn between this plan and cycling when I made the reservation, but choosing this plan was absolutely the right decision! I'm sure if I had chosen cycling, I would have been drenched in sweat (laughs). The bus was cool and perfect! We saw two families of wild boars in the mangroves, and the water buffalo was fun too. I had a wonderful time. Thank you!

風が強かったけど晴天でツアー日和でした！
竹富島ではグラスボードとバス観光プランを選択したのですが、バスの運転手さんが写真を撮ってくれたり、星の砂の見つけ方や、パワースポットを教えてくれたりとすごく良い対応をしてくださったので、予約時にサイクリングと悩みましたがこちらのプランにして大大大正解でした！
きっとサイクリングを選択していたら汗だくでやばかったはず（笑）バス、涼しくて最高！
マングローブでは猪の親子が２組も見れたし、水牛も楽しいし、とても素敵な時間を過ごす事が出来ました。ありがとうございました！

The weather was nice, which was a relief, but it was hot.
We could see the land from the water, and the fish were jumping.
My grandchild had a great time.
The boats were a bit shaky, but the Sky Duck was fine.

お天気良かったので助かりましたが、暑かった。
水上から陸を見ることができ、魚も飛び跳ね
孫はとても楽しんでました。
船等は弱いのですが、スカイダックは大丈夫でした。

I use this tour every time I go to Okinawa because it allows for a comprehensive sightseeing experience. The variety of attractions keeps it enjoyable without getting boring. It's convenient since they provide bus transportation, so I don't have to rent a car. I highly recommend this tour.

一通りの観光が出来るので、
沖縄に行くたびにこのツアーを利用しています。
観光場所が充実しているので飽きる事なく楽しめます。
レンタカーを借りなくてもバスで案内して頂けるので気楽に行けるので重宝してます、
オススメツアーです。

It was a quick but enjoyable time, with plenty of services from the driver and interesting explanations from the guide. From a perspective that you wouldn't normally experience, you can enjoy sights like Tokyo Tower and the expressway, feeling like you're on a little roller coaster from the height of the bus. I would like to try a different course next time. My elementary school-aged child was also very happy.

あっという間の時間でしたが、運転手さんのサービスも盛り沢山、ガイドさんの解説も楽しめました。普段では味わえない目線からの東京タワーや高速道路など、バスの高さからちょっとしたジェットコースターに乗った気分を味わえます。今度は違うコースに行ってみたいですね。小学生の子供も喜んでました。

On the last day in Okinawa, I was wondering where to go until my flight time, and I found this plan that included the limestone cave I wanted to visit, so I made a reservation.
I had a great time at Okinawa World, enjoying the Gyokusendo Cave, an Eisa performance, and taking photos in traditional costumes.
The bus was spacious, and the guide was very cheerful, a great singer, and kind. The price was reasonable, and I was able to make good use of my time, so it was a very satisfying tour.
I highly recommend it!

沖縄最終日、飛行機の時間までどこへ行こうか悩んでいたところ、行きたかった鍾乳洞がコースに含まれているこのプランを見つけ予約しました。
玉泉洞、エイサーのパフォーマンス、伝統衣装を着ての写真撮影など、おきなわワールドで楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
バスもゆったりしていて、ガイドさんもとても明るく歌が上手で親切な方でした。お値段もお手頃で時間を有効に使えたので大満足のツアー。
とてもオススメです！

I participated with a preschooler, and we had a great time. It was a tour around three islands, and the price was reasonable, including meals. It was very helpful that we could add a lunch option for the child for an additional fee.

未就学児を伴う参加でしたがとても楽しめました。3島を巡るツアーですが食事込みで価格もお手頃でした。子供用の昼食も別料金ですが付けることが出来たのでとても助かりました。

We chose this tour for our three-generation family trip, as my parents didn't want to engage in active activities like snorkeling. Although it wasn't sunny due to the day after the typhoon, the guides for the mangrove cruise, the bus, and the water buffalo cart were all very skilled at storytelling, making the sightseeing enjoyable.

At Yubu Island, we had 90 minutes of free time, which included a pre-prepared traditional lunch. If the meal takes a while, I think 90 minutes might be a bit short (we couldn't fully explore the island). After this, we returned to Iriomote Island by water buffalo cart for the second time, and then took a boat back to Ishigaki Port to conclude the tour.

My child and I felt a bit unsatisfied due to the lack of activities in the sea, but my parents said, "Since there isn't much walking, this tour is just right for older people." I think it would be enjoyable for elderly individuals or families with small babies.

親子3世代の旅行で、かつ両親はシュノーケルなどアクティブなことはしたくないということだったので、こちらのツアーを選びました。
台風が過ぎた翌日ということで、晴天にはなりませんでしたが、マングローブクルーズのガイドさん、バスのガイドさん、水牛車のガイドさん、皆さんお話が流れるように上手で、楽しく観光ができました。

由布島では90分間、予め用意された御膳式のお弁当ランチを含んだ自由時間となります。食事に時間がかかってしまう場合は、90分はちょっと短いかなと思います（島内観光はまわり切れませんでした）。
この後、2度目の水牛車で西表島へ戻ってから、船で石垣港に戻って終了となります。

私と子どもは海に入るアクティビティがないので少し物足りなさを感じましたが、両親は「徒歩移動もあまりないから年寄りにはちょうどよいツアーだわ」と言っていました。お年を召した方や小さな赤ちゃん連れには楽しめるのではないでしょうか。

Due to the typhoon, it was cloudy and rainy. The morning cruise around Iriomote Island was cloudy. Unfortunately, we couldn't see the mangrove roots due to high tide. We crossed to Yubu Island on a water buffalo during high tide as well. After that, it rained on Taketomi Island. During a brief break in the rain, we cycled to Kaiji Beach. Since we were short on time, we couldn't search for star sand and had a busy cycling experience. The weather really affects the islands. Next time, I want to go when it's sunny!

台風の影響で曇り、雨でした。
午前中の西表島のクルーズは曇り。満潮でマングローブの根っこは見られず、残念でした。
由布島も満潮の中、水牛で渡りました。
その後の竹富島は雨。雨がやんだちょっとの間にカイジ浜までサイクリング。時間に限りがあったので、星の砂は探せず大忙しのサイクリングでした。
島は、天気に左右されますね。今度は、晴れの時に行きたいです！

I was able to visit many places I wanted to see in Okinawa for the first time, and it was great that the seating was spaced out due to COVID-19 measures. I think it's a good deal to be able to go around for a day with meals included at this price.

初めての沖縄で行ってみたかった所にたくさん行け、コロナ対策で席の間隔も空いており良かったです。ご飯付きで一日回れてこの価格はお得だと思います。

Perhaps due to the impact of the new infectious disease, both the observation deck and Shirakawa-go were easy to visit.

There was plenty of time for strolling, and the guide shared various tips about photo spots and recommended souvenirs from Kanazawa, which was great.

新型感染症の影響か、展望台も白川郷自体も観光しやすかった

散策時間もたっぷりあったし、ガイドさんが写真スポットや金沢のおすすめのおみやげ等も色々教えてくれたのでよかったです

The seats are assigned with quite a bit of space in between. While the bus was moving, there was an incredible wind, so I was able to enjoy the ride without worry. The night view was more beautiful than I had imagined. I would like to participate again.

座席はかなり間隔をあけて指定されています。バスが動いている間は、物凄い風なので、心配なく過ごせました。
夜景は想像以上にきれいでした。また参加したい。

This is a tour around Shirakawa-go and Takayama. The guide, Mr. K, shared very interesting stories, and in Shirakawa-go, I was shown recommended photo spots. The lunch was delicious, and there was plenty of free time for exploring in Takayama, allowing us to enjoy souvenir shops and street food. I appreciated the thoughtful touches, such as the availability of rental plastic umbrellas and reminders for hand sanitizer, which are often overlooked. Thank you for your hospitality during that time.

白川郷と高山を周るツアーです。
ガイドのKさんのお話がとても興味深く、白川郷ではおすすめの写真撮影スポットを教えてもらえました。
お昼ご飯も美味しく、高山では自由散策の時間がたっぷりで、お土産屋さんや食べ歩きも楽しむことができます。
貸し出し用のビニール傘が用意されていたり、忘れがちなアルコール消毒のお声掛けを頂いたり、細やかなお心遣いが嬉しかったです。
その節はお世話になりました。ありがとうございました。

The weather was nice, and we were able to have a great time with a private tour. Also, the guide's explanations were easy to understand. Thank you very much.

天気も良く、貸し切りで楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
また、ガイドさんの説明も解りやすかったです
ありがとうございました

The typhoon is passing on the left side of the island, but we started our tour around Yakushima in a counterclockwise direction. While listening to the guide's quiet jokes (which were funny), I learned a bit more about Yakushima.

台風が島の左側通過してるけど、島を反時計回りでスタート　　ガイドさんの静かなボケ（笑うとこ）を聞き流しながら屋久島の事が少し詳しくなりました。
