All Reviews for Bus Tours

I participated in the tour on the afternoon I arrived in Ishigaki Island. I was able to efficiently visit the highlights of Ishigaki Island. The guide was easy to understand, and I think it was a great tour for the first day. It’s all a matter of luck, but I believe it would have been an even more wonderful day if the weather had been better.

石垣島に着いた日の午後に参加しました。
効率よく石垣島の見所を回ることができました。
ガイドさんも分かりやすく、初日にとてもいいツアーだと思います。
こればかりは運ですが、天候が良ければもっとステキな1日だったと思います。

I participated in a plan that allowed for a stop at the airport right on time for my flight on the last day of my trip. It was a warm guided tour by a precious male guide who played the sanshin. In winter, Ishigaki Island has few sunny days, and the chances of encountering the blue waters of Kabira Bay are low; it was rainy on the day of my visit, but it was still quite beautiful. I feel like I want to try again in the summer.

旅行最終日に飛行機の時間にぴったりに空港で途中下車もあるプランだったので参加しました。たったひとりの貴重な男性ガイドさんのあったかい三線付きの案内でした。冬は石垣島は晴れの日が少なく川平湾のブルーに出会うのには確率は低いそうで当日も雨でしたがそれなりに綺麗でした。夏に再チャレンジしたい感じです。

It was a nice day since it wasn't too cold, but when it's cold, my face... freezes. Overall, I was satisfied. It would be even better once the illuminations at Nakanoshima start! Since this was a preliminary visit, I plan to join my friends.

それほど寒くない日だったので良かったですが、寒いと顔が…凍る。
全体的には満足しました。中之島のイルミネーションが始まれば　もっと良いでしょう！下見だったので友人達と参加しようと思っています。

In December, it was 27 degrees, and the weather was warm enough to break a sweat even in short sleeves. I cruised upstream along the Nakama River in Iriomote Island, enjoying the refreshing breeze through the mangrove forest. Next, I took a water buffalo cart to Yubu Island. While gently swaying, I listened to island songs and felt relaxed. On the island, I explored freely, spending time picking up shells and coral on the beach where manta rays could be seen, and watching butterflies resting on beautiful flowers. Although it was just half a day, I had a fulfilling time.

12月なのに27度もあって、半袖でも汗ばむ気候。西表島の仲間川を、爽やかな風にあたりながらマングローブの林を上流へとクルージング。次は、水牛車で由布島へ。のんびりと揺られながら島唄を聞き、癒されました。島の中では自由散策で、マンタの見える浜で貝殻やサンゴを拾ったり、美しい花にとまる蝶を見たりして、時間を過ごしました。半日でしたが、充実した時間が過ごせました。

I wanted to change my departure from Osaka to disembark in Kyoto, and the prior inquiry was very polite and left a good impression. On the day of the tour, it was a Monday after a holiday, and everywhere was crowded, but we were able to move around very efficiently. In Arashiyama, we had free time to explore, but we were guided to the popular bamboo grove as requested. About 60% of the participants were international tourists, and after the English guidance, we also received instructions in Japanese, which made me feel like I was part of an overseas bus tour.

大阪発着を京都下車に変更したく、事前の問い合わせもとても丁寧で好感が持てました。
当日は、連休後の月曜日でどこも混雑していましたが、とても効率よく回れました。嵐山も自由散策ですが、リクエストの多い竹林までは案内していただけました。
参加者は６割ほどが訪日観光客で、英語の案内の後に日本語で案内をしていただき、海外のバスツアーに参加した気分も味わえましたよ。

This was a tour that efficiently guided us through the famous sites of Kiyomizu-dera, Kinkaku-ji, Fushimi Inari Taisha, and Arashiyama in Kyoto. I think it would be difficult to visit all these places in one day on your own. It's great that we could be taken to Kyoto without having to go there from Osaka.

What stands out is that we had the best guide. Their attention to detail and overall guidance were exceptional. In Arashiyama, they even called a taxi to run through the bamboo grove for my brother, who couldn't walk. I highly recommend this tour.

清水寺・金閣寺・伏見稲荷大社　嵐山と京都の名所を効率よく
案内してくれるツアーでした。　独自で一日でここまでまわるのは
難しいと思います。大阪からの出発でわざわざ京都に行かなくても
連れていっていただけるのはいいですね。

特筆するのは最高のガイドさんにあたったこと案内　気配り
すべてにおいて最高のガイドさんでした。

おすすめのツアーです。

For my son, it was his first time, and my second visit to Okinawa's Churaumi Aquarium. It was a fun experience throughout, led by a knowledgeable bus guide who sang and danced. Everyone from various countries who participated in the tour came together to spend a meaningful day.

Last year, we rented a car and stayed overnight on the way to the Churaumi Aquarium. With skilled driving, we left at 8:20 AM and even with leisurely sightseeing and breaks, we were able to return to the meeting place an hour early at 5:30 PM, making for a rich and fulfilling time without feeling tired.

息子にとっては初めての、私は2回目の沖縄、美ら海水族館行きは、唄って 踊って 知識豊富なバスガイドさんのリードで 終始楽しく、ツアーに参加した色々な国からの 老若男女全員が ひとつになって過ごせた有意義な一日となりました。
昨年はレンタカーを借りて、途中で一泊して美ら海水族館に向かいましたが、上手な運転で、朝8:20に出発して、全てゆっくり見学、休憩しても、1時間早く5:30に集合場所に戻ることが出来て 疲れ知らずの濃厚なひとときとなりました。

Overall nice schedule.
Nice guide who tried to entertain us all time !
Various points to see and 3 of 5 were great, one was average, one was needless.
Lunch included was below average for Japan....

I signed up to pass the time until the marathon registration. The explanation from the guide was easy to understand, and I enjoyed it in a hiking mood.

マラソンの受付までの時間潰しに申し込みました。解説の方の説明もわかり易く、ハイキング気分で楽しめました。

Shirakawa-go and Gokayama Full Day Tour: Enjoy two World Heritage Sites at a leisurely pace.
It was an amazing time, and I definitely want to participate again!

白川郷・五箇山満喫1日ツアー 2つの世界遺産をゆっくり楽しもう
楽しみ最高の時間だった ぜひもう一度参加したい！

The bus guide's talk was helpful, and it was great to gain knowledge during the sightseeing! Both Sefa Utaki and Gyokusendo Cave were more impressive than I expected. If the timing works after the bus arrives, I recommend watching the Eisa performance! It was powerful and exhilarating! It's a great suggestion for the last day's sightseeing!

バスガイドさんの話も参考になり観光の際に知識も得られて良かったです！
斎場御嶽も玉泉洞も思った以上に見応えがありました。
バス到着後時間が合えばエイサーを観覧することをおすすめします！
迫力があり心が躍る感じで楽しめました！
最終日の観光におすすめです！

Very nice experience~ Suggest all of you to join if you haven't yet planned.

Minami participated in the Umeda route, as they were exploring on their own. They received blankets and disposable heat packs before boarding. The breeze felt nice, and it was enjoyable to look at the sky while the explanations were pleasantly detailed and fun. ¥1500 is a great deal.

ミナミは自分達で回るので、うめだルートに参加。ひざ掛けや使い捨てカイロを頂き乗車。風が気持ち良く、空を眺めながら、説明もいい感じに丁寧で楽しかったです。¥1500 はお得です。

Both Sefa Utaki and Okinawa World are not easily accessible by public transportation, so I jumped at the chance to go for just 1,700 yen. I was happy with the pickup at Makishi, which is close to the hotel. The guide's explanations were also great.

I didn't have high expectations for the Gyokusendo Cave inside Okinawa World, but it was truly impressive. In a way, it might be more cave-like than Japan's largest Akiyoshido Cave.

On the way back, I got off at the airport and used the 24-hour Yui Rail ticket to go to Shuri Castle, and then headed back to the airport to watch the sunset.

斉場御獄と沖縄ワールド、どちらも公共交通機関では行きにくい所なので、たった1700円で行ってくれるということで飛びつきました(^^;
ホテル至近の牧志でのピックアップは嬉しかったです。
ガイドさんの説明も良かったです。

沖縄ワールド内の玉泉洞は期待してませんでしたが、迫力満点でした。
ある意味、日本最大の秋芳洞より鍾乳洞らしいというかすごいかも？

帰りは空港で降りて、ゆいレール２４時間券を使って首里城へ、その後夕陽を見にまた空港へ(^^;

The weather was amazing and the scenery was fantastic! The color of the sea was emerald green, and I've been to Okinawa several times, but this was the most beautiful sea color I've ever seen.

I was able to fully enjoy Okinawa in just one day. Both the guide and the driver were great; they were truly healing people of Okinawa.

It was really a wonderful trip!

Thank you very much!

最高な天気で景色が最高でした(^^)v
海の色もエメラルドグリーンで今まで沖縄何度が来てますが一番綺麗な海の色でした(^-^)

１日で沖縄を満喫できました(^o^)
ガイドさんも運転手さんも良い、沖縄の癒やしの人でした(*^^*)

本当に良い旅でした(^_^)/

ありがとうございました(^^)v

I participated with four friends. The weather was not as cold as we had worried about, and the duration of about an hour was just right, making it very enjoyable. The guide's explanations were clear and helpful. The illuminations were beautiful, and we felt like we were on a little trip. I would like to participate again. Thank you very much.

友人4人と参加しました。　天気も心配していたほど寒くもなくて小一時間というちょうどいい時間で、とても楽しめました。
ガイドさんのお話も分かりやすくてよかったです。
イルミネーションもきれいでちょっとした小旅行の気分を味わえました。
また参加したいと思いました。
ありがとうございました。

Thanks to the tour guide, we were able to enjoy sightseeing without any waste of time. There were a lot of tourists, but it was a fun day. I'm glad we were also shown some great photo spots.

添乗員さんのおかげで、無駄無く観光できました。
観光客がとても多かったですが、楽しい一日でした。
写真スポットも教えてもらえて、よかったです。

Just a short trip from Ishigaki Island, it feels like a different time flows here. This is my second visit, and when I go to Taketomi Island, I feel like everything is forgotten and my lifespan has been extended. Is it just me? You can truly enjoy the travel atmosphere here.

石垣島からちょっと足を伸ばすだけで、日常とは別の時間が流れている感じです。今回、2回目の参加ですが、竹富島を訪れると、何もかも忘れさせてくれ寿命が延びたように感じるのは私だけ？でしょうか。
旅行気分を満喫できますよ。

This tour is quite a bargain, as it allows you to visit not only the Churaumi Aquarium but also Ryukyu Village and Manza Beach for this price. The duration of stay at each location was just right, and I was satisfied.

The guide also entertained us with songs and performances on the sanshin, which was enjoyable.

I highly recommend this tour.

このお値段で、美ら海水族館だけでなく、琉球村や万座毛まで行けるというなかなかお得感満載なツアー。
各場所での滞在時間もほどほどの時間で、満足出来ました。

ガイドさんも、歌や三線も披露してくれて、楽しかったです。

おすすめのツアーです。

I found the tour to be too cumbersome. We visited few places, but the guide didn’t give us overall city perspective.

I was waiting for my husband, but I got separated and couldn't make it to the meeting time. By the time I finally got in touch with him, I was told to get off the bus. The bus company's delays due to traffic issues were overlooked. Our special commemorative trip was ruined. I'm glad it wasn't abroad. The first guide was very kind, but I won't be taking any more tours with this company.

主人を待ってて はぐれてしまい 集合時間に間に合わず やっと 主人と連絡取れたときは もう 降りて下さいとのことでした交通事情等で バス会社の遅れとかは スルーされるのに
せっかくの記念旅行 は パーになりました✋
外国じゃなくてよかったです。
最初のガイドさんは とても 親切でした
もう この会社のツアーは 乗りません

The positives: bus transportation and pre-paid access into shrines and temples. The negatives: It was initially described as a Fall excursion but it was more like a highlights tour. They did not address any of the autumn trees or traditions for that time of year. Because of the Fall season is so popular, all of the places were very crowded, leading to a near race at each site just to get there and back in time for the bus. It also lead to a more than one hour delayed return, which, to be fair, they said might happen, but an update as the day progressed would have been better than announcing it at the tail end of a long day. We had plans to get back to JR station by a certain time so we had to depart the bus early and catch our own cab ride back which cost nearly $40.

It was the least visible spot, in the fourth row from the front on the second floor. I could only see the inside of the car. As for the cold, it was the place where the wind hit the least.

2階の前から4列目で、一番見えにくい場所でした。車の内側ばかり見えていました。寒さは、一番風が当たらない場所でした。

The cost performance was good, and I was satisfied. I did feel some overall disorganization, but that might add to the local atmosphere, which could be nice. The captain of the glass-bottom boat was very good. His entertaining stories eased my anxiety about seasickness. I was able to relax while listening to the live performance of the sanshin on the water buffalo cart. I would recommend this to my friends as well.

コスパも良く、満足です。
全体的な段取りの悪さは感じましたが、それも含めて地元感を感じられていいかもしれません。
グラスボートの船長さんがとても良かったです。楽しいお話で船酔いの不安も軽減されました。
水牛車も三線の弾き語りを聴きながらのんびりできました
友人にもおすすめしたいです。

Our factories are located in Japan, China, and Vietnam. This time, we were planning a company event inviting participants from China and Vietnam. On the last day, we arranged for sightseeing in Japan. Although it was a rather tight schedule for their stay in Japan, I felt happy when I heard the visitors say, "It was really beautiful. I had fun. I want to come to Japan again," at the end. This was our company's first joint event. Personally, I think it's been over ten years since I last visited Kyoto. Even though there was an interpreter with the visiting members, it was my first time guiding first-time visitors in Japan, so I was filled with anxiety. However, thanks to the guide who looked out for me and offered support, we managed to complete the tour safely. Right now, I feel relieved.

We were able to go during the most beautiful season for autumn leaves, and it was truly stunning. I was moved. Next time, I want to leisurely walk around the streets of Kyoto for the sole purpose of enjoyment, not work. Thank you very much for your support.

弊社の工場は日本と中国とベトナムにあります。今回は、中国とベトナムの方を招いての会社行事を企画しておりました。最後の一日に日本観光を計画しての参加でした。かなり強行な日程での日本滞在でしたが、来日された方から最後に「本当に綺麗だった。楽しかった。また日本に来たい。等々」の言葉が聞こえてきた時は私も嬉しく感じました。会社的にも第一回目の合同行事でした。私自身も京都は十数年ぶりと思います。来日メンバーには通訳さんがいるとはいえ、初めての来日の方々を観光へ案内することは私自身初めてのことでしたので不安でいっぱいでした。しかし、ガイドの方に気にかけていただいて、声をかけていただいて何とか無事に終えることができました。今はとにかくホッとしています。
紅葉が綺麗な一番いい時期に行くことが出来て本当に綺麗でした。感動しました。
今度は、仕事絡みではなく、ただ楽しむことだけを目的にゆっくり京都の街を歩いて観光してみたいと思います。
本当にお世話になりました。有難う御座いました。

I was a bit anxious about sightseeing with a rental car, so I joined this tour. There were some places where we didn't have enough time, but it was great to be able to see everything efficiently. During the drive, the guide provided various explanations and entertained us with songs and dances.

レンタカーで観光するのに不安があったので、こちらのツアーに参加しました。
滞在時間が足りない所もありましたが、効率よく観光出来てよかったです。
車中ではガイドさんが、いろいろ説明してくれたり、歌や踊りで楽しませてくれました。

I had experienced mangrove tours several times, so it wasn't very different for me, but I definitely recommend it for first-timers.

It was great to cross the island on a water buffalo and to have my first experience sightseeing on Taketomi Island. However, I had admired it from pictures before going, and in reality, animals do have their own nature. They frequently urinate and defecate, so it can be a bit smelly.

How about trying this experience, including all of that?

I really enjoyed a wonderful island tour. Thank you very much.

マングローブツアーは何度か経験があったので、あまり変わり映えがなかったですが、初めての方はぜひ経験していただきたいと思います。

水牛で島を渡ったり、竹富島の観光は初体験で良かったです。
ただ、写真で見てあこがれていったのですが、実際はやはり動物。
おしっこやウンチを頻繁にするのでちょっと臭いです。

こういったことも含めて一度体験してみてはいかがでしょうか？

とても良い離島ツアーを楽しむことができました。
ありがとうございました。

The bus guide was absolutely the best. They were great at storytelling, sang island songs beautifully, and were knowledgeable about history—there were no flaws. They were the best guide I've ever had in my life. I would love to participate again.

なんといってもバスガイドさんが最高でした。話がうまく、島歌がうまく、歴史に詳しく、欠点がありません。人生最高のガイドさんでした。もう一度参加したいくらい。

I chose this tour because I wanted to visit Sefa Utaki. Being a sacred site, it was filled with a solemn atmosphere, and since it was right after the rain, the fresh air made it truly pleasant and amazing! After visiting Sefa Utaki, we headed to the Gangala Valley. With our guide, we ventured through the limestone caves and jungle-like paths. Along the way, we encountered green snails, sparkling bugs, and a large banyan tree, which kept our excitement levels high! Having a guide with us allowed us to learn about things we might have missed on our own, making the experience even more enjoyable. If you're heading to the southern area, I highly recommend visiting Gangala Valley. I really want to go again myself!

斎場御嶽に行ってみたくてこのツアーを選びました。聖地といわれている場所なだけに厳かな雰囲気に満ち、さらに雨上がりだったこともあって清々しい空気に包まれて本当に気持ちよく最高でした♪また、斎場御嶽見学の後、ガンガラーの谷へ。ガイドさんの案内のもと、鍾乳洞やジャングルのような道を突き進みます。途中、緑色のカタツムリやキラキラ光るカメムシ、大きなガジュマルの木にも遭遇しテンションあがりっぱなしでした⤴⤴⤴ガイドさんが一緒だと、自分たちだけでは見落としてしまうようなことも説明してもらえるので楽しさ倍増です。南部方面に行かれるならガンガラーの谷は是非是非行ってみて欲しいですね。めっちゃオススメです。っていうか私もまた行きたいです。

The new female guide was inadequate. She was just reading from her notes without any emotion, so what she was saying didn't come across. In the end, even the driver started giving advice. Her voice was quiet and lacked clarity. You can tell when someone is trying their best, even if they aren't skilled, but this guide didn't have that. I think she is not suited for being a guide.

新人なのか女性のガイドの方がお粗末だった。
ガイドもノートに書いてるのをただ読んでるだけで感情がこもって無いので言っている事が伝わってこなかった。
しまいにはドライバーさんもがアドバイスする始末。
声は小さいしハキも無いし。
出来無くても出来ないなりに一生懸命やってる人はそれが伝わって来るが今回のガイドさんはそれが無かった。
ガイドには向いてない人だと思った。
