All Reviews for Bus Tours

Since there were 8 participants, we toured in a jumbo taxi and were able to spend the day in a friendly atmosphere. The guide was very kind and took us to places that are not included in the usual tourist routes. Moreover, he had a wealth of knowledge about Yakushima, and we learned many things (such as the villa of Horiemon and the Aum Shinrikyo hideout...). He also provided detailed information about the Yakusugi trees. Thank you very much.

参加者が8人だったのでｼﾞｬﾝﾎﾞﾀｸｼｰでの観光となり､ﾌﾚﾝﾄﾞﾘｰな雰囲気で一日を過ごす事が出来ました｡
ｶﾞｲﾄﾞさんが非常に親切でﾊﾞｽでは行けない様な所(通常の観光ｺｰｽには入っていない場所)へも連れて行ってくれました｡
そのうえ､屋久島に関する知識がとても豊かで色々なことを知ることが出来ました｡(ﾎﾘｴﾓﾝの別荘､ｵｳﾑ真理教のｱｼﾞﾄ､･･････)
屋久杉についても詳しく教えて貰いました｡
ありがとうございました｡

we had so much fun in oshino ninja village.the tourist guide is very knowledgeable.he gives us additional time to stroll around in each of our sight seeing landmarks.the lunch was superb!

the tour was very informative.our tourist guide was very helpful and friendly,with a sense of humour.not a dull moment with him.the best tour in japan so far!

Joining the tour that efficiently visits the three islands was definitely the right choice. The boat to Iriomote Island was quite rocky, so it might be a good idea to bring motion sickness medication. I chose the rental bicycle plan, and since I could choose the return boat, I was able to explore the island at a leisurely pace without worrying about time.

効率よく3島を周れるツアーで参加して大正解でした。
西表島に向かう船はかなり揺れたので酔い止め持参で行った方が良いかもしれません。
レンタサイクルプランを選びましたが、帰りの船が選べたので、時間を気にせずゆっくり島内を周ることができました。

This is a tour that allows you to efficiently explore Ishigaki Island. It seems that March has a lot of rain, but somehow the weather held up, and the sea was beautiful. Sitting on the left side of the bus offers a better view of the ocean. The lunch was a bit disappointing, but everything else was very satisfying. The female guide also included jokes from time to time, making it a very enjoyable experience. If I have the opportunity to go to Ishigaki again, I would like to participate.

石垣島を効率よく周ることができるツアーです。
3月は雨が多いようなのですが、なんとか天気ももち、海が綺麗でした。
バスは左側に座った方が海がよく見えます。
昼食は少し期待はずれでしたが、その他は大満足です。女性のガイドさんも時折ジョークを交えながらでとても楽しく過ごせました。また石垣に行く機会があれば参加したいです。

I visited Ishigaki and Iriomote Island. At first, I thought it would be impossible to cover this in one day. It was a tour packed with highlights. It was great that we could choose the return ferry time from Taketomi Island to Ishigaki. We were blessed with wonderful weather, which made it perfect.

初石垣〜西表島でした。初めではこの内容を1日で回るのは無理でしょう。いいとこ取りがギッシリ詰まった内容の濃いツアーでした。帰りの竹富島〜石垣の船の時間が選べるのでよかったです。お天気に恵まれて最高でした。

My first trip to Okinawa, and it was a solo journey. Traveling alone, I found a reasonable course that allows me to visit three places using buses and taxis. The only downside is that the time at Okinawa World is a bit short. The Eisa show lasts about 30 minutes, so after watching the Eisa, there's not much time left. Also, I initially couldn't find the bus (the bus company name was different from what was online). The guide was young and modest about himself, but he was very dedicated and left a good impression. I was moved by the story of the student corps. The driver also maintained safe driving, even though other customers were delayed. I will definitely use this service again next time. This time, I’ll go for the full day course! Thank you very much.

初めての沖縄旅行、しかも一人旅。一人だったら、バス、タクシー乗り継いで回るコースがリーズナブルな値段で、しかも、三箇所も回れます。沖縄ワールドでの時間が短いのがちょっと難点です。エイサーショーが約30分あるので、エイサーを見たら、ちょっと時間がたりません。あと、最初にバスを見つけ切りませんでした。（ネットと、違うバス会社名でした。）ガイドさんは、若い方で、自分の事を謙遜していましたが、一生懸命で好感度良かったです。学徒隊の話は感動しました。運転手さんも、途中、他のお客さんが遅れたにも関わらず、安全運転でした。次回も必ず利用します。今度は、1日コースで！！ありがとうございました。

We found the tour really easy to find and pay for online. The details of the tour and pick up area were emailed to us immediately which helped us work out where to go etc really quickly and easily.
We found the pick up spot easy in the morning of the tour. Our tour guide was really friendly and helpful. He was English speaking but also spoke fluent Japanese. The group was only small so it was really easy to talk to the guide and ask questions, and I found him to be quite knowledgeable about the area and the sites we went to. He was wonderful with the guests and really took an interest in each of our needs as there were guests with a baby and an older couple with some mobility restrictions.
We found the river cruise a little boring but I think that was because the speakers may not have been working where we were sitting so we couldn’t hear anything.
Overall the tour was fantastic, it was a great way to see the sights of Tokyo and to work out which places you want to visit again, I only wish we did this tour on our first day in Tokyo.
The lunch was delicious and definitely worth adding to the tour.
Thank you so much I will be recommending this to our friends that visit Tokyo!!

There was a large bus with a driver and a guide, but I happened to be the only participant. The guide was friendly and shared various stories about Ishigaki as if talking to a friend. When I mentioned that I would be driving around the next day with a rental car, they also gave me some advice.

大きなバスに運転手さん、ガイドさん付でしたが、たまたま、私１名の参加でした。
ガイドさんは、友人と話しているかのように、気さくで石垣の色々な話をしてくれました。
次の日のレンタカーで回るというと、アドバイスもしてくれました。

I have participated in this course several times because it's my favorite. You can enjoy a stroll at Ida Beach, a jungle cruise, a glass-bottom boat tour, and a simple local cuisine lunch. The weather at Ida Beach on that day was perfect, and the scenery was wonderful. We were able to leisurely stroll along the quiet beach, almost having it to ourselves. Unfortunately... According to the guide, this tour will end at the end of March. This is the only tour that includes Ida Beach, so please find a way to continue it!

このコースはお気に入りで何回か参加しています。
イダの浜散策、ジャングルクルーズ、グラスボートの観光と素朴な地元料理の昼食で楽しめます。
この日の「イダの浜」は天気も最高で素晴らしい景色でした。
そしてほぼ貸切状態で静かなビーチをのんびりと散策ができました。
残念なのは．．．
ガイドさんによるとこのツアーは３月いっぱいで終了してしまうそうです。
このツアーが唯一「イダの浜」を含んだツアーなのでなんとか継続してください！！

Guides were excellent... if you are on short trip this is excellent tour to get acquainted with the main attractions in Tokyo.

It was a packed day full of activities, and I had a great time. The only disappointing part was the lunch. Honestly, it wasn't tasty. I would have appreciated at least being able to have a warm bento.

盛り沢山の内容で、１日楽しめました。
唯一、残念だったのはランチです。
正直、おいしくありませんでした。せめてあったかいお弁当を食べれるとありがたいです。

It was a family trip at the end of February. The weather was cloudy and windy, so it was cold, but I was satisfied with the experience. When crossing to Yufu Island by water buffalo, we could also hear the sanshin, which created a wonderful atmosphere. It was nice to see the change in the water surface on the way there and back. Since it was a tour of the islands, there wasn't much time to look at souvenirs, but it became a great memory. The travel agency's arrangements were smooth and well done.

2月末の家族旅行でした。天候は曇りで風もあったため寒かったですが、内容は満足です。
由布島に水牛で渡るときは三線も聞けて雰囲気は最高でした。また行きと帰りで水面が変わるのも良かったです。三島巡りなのでお土産など見る時間はあまりなかったですが、いい思い出になりました。
旅行会社さんの段取りもスムーズで良かったです

The cute water buffalo, the brother's performance and singing, and the Okinawan streets were all amazing! (*^_^*) The area is spacious enough to explore comfortably by rental bike, allowing us to enjoy the beach, shops, and meals. It became a wonderful travel memory! (^o^)

かわいい水牛と、お兄さんの演奏・歌声や、沖縄らしい街並みが最高でした(*^_^*)
レンタサイクルで十分回れる広さなので、ビーチやお店、食事も楽しめました。
とても良い旅行の思い出となりました(^o^)

Overall, it was a very satisfying tour. The only downside was that the mangrove cruise in Iriomote Island was unfortunately rainy. However, I heard that there are hardly any sunny days in Iriomote Island during this season, so I suppose it couldn't be helped.

全体的に大満足のツアーでした。残念だったのは、西表島のマングローブクルーズがあいにくの雨だったこと。ただ、この時期の西表島は晴れの日がほとんど無いとの話でしたので、やむを得ないのかと思いました。

I was very grateful for the tour that took us around the famous spots in Ishigaki Island and dropped off those who wanted to at the airport. I was able to learn about the greatness of Yoko Gushiken and nature (!). It was a fun tour. The guide, Rosanna (?), seemed to be a pinch hitter, but she was great. However, at Kabira Bay, it would have been better to skip the glass boat and allocate that time for walking and photography. It felt rushed due to the lack of time, and I had already seen the glass boat the day before at Taketomi Island.

石垣島の名所を回って希望者は空港で降ろしてくれる内容で大変助かりました。具志堅用高の偉大さと天然（！）を知ることが出来、楽しいツアーでした。ガイドのロザンナ（？）はピンチヒッターらしいけど◎でした。但し、川平湾ではグラスボートは止めて、散策・撮影にあてた方が良かったです。時間がなく慌ただしかったのと、グラスボートは前日竹富島で見たので。

As the title suggests, I think the content of the tour is good. However, most of the bus travel was without a guide, which was incredibly boring.

タイトルの通りですがツアーの内容は良いと思います。
ですがバス移動の大半にガイドがなく死ぬほど退屈でした。

This was one of the better hop on/off bus tours I did in Japan. The timetables were fairly good and there was a good number of stops. Staff were all very friendly and well informed about the bus routes. I recommend doing both blue and purple routes.

On the blue route most people only get off at Tokyo Skytree and it is worth it. However, the next bus is in an hour and then 1.5hrs (2.5hrs from when I got off). I just about managed to get back down within an hour because I bought a fast lane ticket at double the price, because I didn't want to spend 2.5hrs at the one spot.

As they only accepted a printed ticket from their office it meant finding Veltra office. However, I wasted a bit of time in the morning finding Veltra. I eventually found it when I asked Sky Bus Tours office where Veltra was and they said "that's us" - don't know how I was suppose to know that. So you should google map search Sky tours not Veltra.

The most annoying thing about the tour was the timing of the guide audio; it was either interrupted by the next location fact or it'd say "look to your left and you'll see..." and it was nowhere in site. I think this could be resolved if the driver went slower. Alternatively, investment in a better audio system would be ideal judging from other people's reviews.

The weather was perfect, it was very clear to see the top of Mt Fuji. The guide was very talkative and informative. We really enjoyed our trip. Ninja village was very attractive.

amazing trip for only one day
good tour guide
good food
enjoy nature and fuji mountain air that looks pretty on top of the fuji mountain top station by feeling the cold udaha -7.
enjoy eating bluebery flavored ice cream and beautiful lake Kawaguguchi.
Experience enjoying a 4 dimensional simulator ride to see the sights around the fuji mountain area.

It was a cold time in February, but the weather was nice, so the cold wasn't too harsh. However, I think those who are sensitive to the cold should dress warmly. As the guide mentioned, the open roof provided a great view. It was very convenient and enjoyable to visit the famous spots in a short amount of time, and it was great that we passed near the place I planned to visit the next day, so I could get there without getting lost. Next time, I would like to try the northern course as well.

２月の寒い時期でしたがお天気が良かったのでそれほど寒さは辛くなかったですが　寒さが苦手な人はしっかり防寒された方が良いと思います　しかしガイドさんも言ってましたが屋根が開いているおかげで見晴らしはとても良かったですよ　短時間で名所を一気に回ってくれるのでとても楽ちんで楽しかったですし　タイミング良く翌日行く予定だった場所の近くを通ってくれたので迷わずに行けて良かったです　今度は北コースも利用してみたいです

This is a tour that takes you around the famous spots in the southern part of Okinawa Island. The schedule is quite tight, so there isn't much time to thoroughly explore each location. However, the tour progresses smoothly, and it concludes around 1 PM. It's a compact tour, but the locations are all wonderful, and it covers the key highlights, providing a sense of satisfaction.

I highly recommend it, especially for travelers with limited days. You can join this tour in the morning and, after it ends, enjoy dining and shopping on Kokusai Street, which is right in front of the prefectural office where the tour concludes.

沖縄本島の南部にある名所を巡るツアーです。
スケジュールが結構タイトなので各所をじっくりと観光する時間はなく、その分ツアーはスムーズに進んでいき、昼1時過ぎには解散となります。コンパクトなツアーですがロケーションはどこも素晴らしく、見所のポイントはしっかり抑えているので満足感があります。
特に滞在日数が少ない旅行の際に非常におすすめで、朝にこちらのツアーに参加して、終了後は解散場所の県庁前から国際通りで食事やショッピングを楽しむことができます。

I finally got to take my long-awaited trip to Yakushima and participated in a bus tour to circle the island. Unfortunately, the western forest road was blocked, so the bus couldn't pass, which was disappointing. The driver and guide were both excellent. Thanks to them, I had a wonderful day.

念願だった屋久島旅行　島一周がしたくてバスツアーに参加させていただきました。あいにく西部林道が崩れてバスが通れなくてざんねんでした。運転手さん件ガイドさん大変よかったです。おかげで楽しく一日すごせました。

I participated only in the morning to match my flight schedule, but I had a great time sightseeing. I would like to spend a full day exploring Yakushima when I visit again.

フライト時刻に合わせて午前中だけの参加でしたが、とても楽しく観光できました。また屋久島を訪れるときは１日たっぷりと観光してみたいです。

I had enough time and was able to experience everything smoothly, and for the three-island tour, I was able to spend a sufficient amount of time.

時間的にも余裕があり、スムーズに体験するすることもできましたし、３島めぐりとしては、十分な時間を過ごすことができました。

This tour was one of the best we’ve had. We got to see so many sites in one day. Tour was on time and the journey in the bus was made interesting and fun thanks to our knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide Levin! Oh we also got to see the magnificence of Mt Fuji because it was a clear day! What a treat!!

This is my second time in Ishigaki Island, but I thought I didn't know anything about it, so I applied on short notice. The wind was strong and it was occasionally drizzling under a cloudy sky, but Kabira Bay was beautiful and blue. It was enjoyable to hear the explanations from the female guide.

On a personal note, I accidentally booked for the wrong day this time and had to hurriedly change my reservation, but as expected, there was a cancellation fee, which was disappointing.

２度目の石垣島ですが、石垣島のことを何も知らないと思い差し迫った日に申し込みました。
風が強く時々小雨の曇り空でしたが、川平湾は青かったです。女性のガイドさんの説明で、こうした話を聞くのは楽しいです。

私ごとでしが、今回うっかりと１日間違えて申し込み、慌ててキャンセル変更しましたが、当たり前ですがキャンセル料が発生してて残念無念。

I took the southern route in the afternoon. It was a cold day with snowflakes falling, but I had prepared a blanket and a heat pack, and there was heating at my feet, so it was more comfortable than I expected. I had visited Osaka several times and had even lived there for a while, but there were many things I wouldn't have understood without explanation, such as the plateaus in the city and areas where many temples are gathered. I made a lot of new discoveries. I would like to use this service again if I have the opportunity.

午後の南ルートに乗りました。
寒い日で雪が舞っていましたが、ひざ掛けやカイロの準備もあり、足下には暖房もあったので、思っていたよりも快適でした。
大阪に何度か来ていたり、少し住んでいたこともありましたが、街中に台地があったことや寺が多く集まるエリアがあったり、説明無しではわからないこともたくさんあり、新発見が多かったです。
また機会があれば利用したいと思います。

I used this service to travel from Onna Village to Naha. They take care of large luggage in the trunk, so there was no need to worry about my bags.

On the bus, there were two guides who provided commentary through the windows and even sang Ryukyu folk songs (live performance!). It was a very enjoyable experience that you can't have when driving your own car...!

At the Churaumi Aquarium, the schedule was arranged so that we could see both the dolphin show and the feeding of the whale sharks, which are the highlights. Both were incredibly impressive, and I truly felt it was worth coming.

恩納村から那覇への移動も兼ねて利用しました。大きな荷物はトランクで預かってくれるので、荷物の心配は不要でした。

バス車内ではガイドさんが2人乗車し、車窓解説をしたり、琉球民謡を歌ったり（生歌です！）してくださって、とても楽しく過ごせました。自家用車ではこんな体験できないですよ…！

美ら海水族館では見どころであるイルカショーおよびジンベエザメの餌やりの両方が見れるようにスケジュールが組まれていました。
どちらも大迫力で、来てよかったと心から思えました。

Since I can't drive, I used this tour to explore the central and northern regions. I felt that the sightseeing time at each location was a bit short if you wanted to fully enjoy it. However, considering how much content is packed into one tour, that might be understandable. In other words, it’s quite condensed (laughs).

The bus operated on schedule. Additionally, we arrived back in Naha earlier than planned, which was very helpful. You can also check your suitcase on the bus, making it convenient for intercity travel.

What surprised me was the butterfly garden. Honestly, I didn't have high expectations for the butterfly garden, as it wasn't featured much in guidebooks, but I had a really fun experience being chased by butterflies.

車を運転できないため、こちらのツアーを利用して中北部を観光しました。
各々の観光時間は存分に堪能しようとするとちょっと短かったかな…という印象です。
しかし、ひとつのツアーにここまでの内容を詰め込んでくれていると考えれば、そうなるのも当然かもしれません。言い換えれば、凝縮してくれています（笑）
バスは定時運行でした。また、那覇市内への帰りは予定より早く着いたのでとても助かりました。スーツケースもバスに預けることができるので、都市間移動にも使えて便利だと思います。

意外だったのが蝶々園でした。正直ガイドブックにもあまり載っていない蝶々園はあまり期待していなかったのですが、蝶に追いかけ回されたり、とても楽しい経験ができました。
