I must say that I enjoyed the double bus tour with my family and friends. The attendant/tour guide was very accommodating. The tour is very organised having an audiophone for English translation of what to see and expect around Osaka. The bus stopped at every tourist spot to give us a good view of the attraction. What the tour had failed, I guess, was to allow its passengers to tour around/inside each attraction for 15 mins or so. This will give us better appreciation of Osaka's best sights than having to see it from afar. I have been having a hard time taking quality pictures as we are not allowed to stand up (Window glasses of the bus can be quite a distraction from the photos). I would appreciate it more if the tour guide can give us a deeper explanation on each attraction. While I recognise all the effort of the bus tour, I must say that I enjoyed it though but not as much as I expected. Cheers!

The prices were reasonable, and I was able to enjoy a bit of a travel vibe, which was great! I've lived in Osaka for many years, but it was nice to discover places I had never seen before on this route!
値段も手頃で、ちょっとした旅行気分も味わえてgoo❗でした。長年大阪にすんでいるのですが、今回回ったルートの中には、こんな処あるんだ!って、初めて見る場所もあってよかったです!

We went there without knowing much of a japanese language so they gave us a radio that is a recorded english guide for the tour. It was a nice experience. We sat at the top of the bus so we were able to really see Osaka out in the open. There are even some japanese citizens who wave hi at us. It was a lively tour. The bus driver and the guide herself are very accommodating all throughout the course. (I do hope I could understand some of the tour guide's jokes though :P). Overall it was a a very nice experience. We were able to cross throughout osaka while being relaxed at the same time. I just hope next time they'll take more time to stop at a certain tourist spot so we could take much of good pictures.

The tour was great for first timer especially in Osaka. It was our first time in Japan and we didn't know what to expect. The tour showed us how Japan in general, the streets, the places to go, how far each landmark that we are planning to go to from each other. The tour we took is the south course which is basically the Namba area, there's also the North course which includes the Osaka castle. Its a good thing we took the south course as we didn't have time to explore the south side. It gives you an overview and a good break from walking. I highly recommend it if you have old folks with you as it will give them time to relax and still see the city. The audio was ok but it would have been nicer if there's more history being told in between instead of music. There was a lot of music in between, which, unfortunately, put my grandmother and my parents to sleep, hahaha...There is a free wi-fi on the bus which is great. Also, you can probably request at the end of the tour to drop you off in Umeda Sky tower instead of bringing you back in Osaka Train station as they ask us if we wanted to be drop off to Osaka station, so I guess there is an option. Overall, it is nice, relaxing, and an easy alternative to see the city of Osaka.
Thank you for joining our tour, we hope to serve you again during any future visits to Japan!

I participated with my parents, but I think it's a tour that anyone can enjoy, whether you have kids or are a couple.
Since it goes through multiple hotels, it takes some time to reach the destination, but it was fun to see various hotels, and it gave me ideas like, "I want to stay at this hotel next!"
At Nago Pineapple Park, we received ice cream, at the Glass Museum, we got a small gift, and at Ryukyu Mura, we received discount coupons for souvenirs... there were many little perks that made me happy.
We also had a three-hour stay at the Churaumi Aquarium, which allowed us to leisurely explore the aquarium and shop for souvenirs.
私は両親と参加しましたが、お子様連れでもカップルでもだれでも楽しめるツアーだと思います。
多数のホテルを経由して行くので目的地に着くまでに時間はかかりますが、いろいろなホテルを見ることができて楽しいし、「次はこのホテルに泊まりたいな!」と参考になりました。
ナゴパイナップルパークでアイスがもらえたり、ガラス館で粗品がもらえたり、琉宮城でお土産の割引券がもらえたり…とちょこちょこお得な特典が多くて嬉しかったです。
美ら海水族館での滞在も3時間あり、ゆっくり水族館を見学・お土産巡りをすることができました。

On the last day, I participated before my afternoon flight.
It was easy and inexpensive, and the guide explained various facilities and life in Okinawa while we were on the bus, which I thought was better than going around on my own. I found the stories about Okinawa's unique graves particularly interesting (laughs).
Since it was a large bus, it was fine to bring a suitcase. It was convenient to be dropped off at the airport.
最終日、午後のフライト前に参加しました。
手軽で安いのはもちろん、ガイドさんが車内で各施設や沖縄の暮らしなどを説明してくれるので、個人で回るより良かったと思います。特に沖縄ならではのお墓の話、興味深かったです(笑)
大型バスなのでスーツケース持参でOK。空港で降ろしてもらえて便利でしたー。

I used this service on the last day of my week-long trip. The veteran tour guide was very good at communicating, and I was able to enjoy the ride. It's recommended because you can visit various highlights in a short time. The last stop, the Himeyuri Monument, was especially worthwhile to visit, aside from the beaches during my trip to Okinawa. The atmosphere was different. Thinking about the young people with high aspirations who suffered there, I couldn't help but feel tears come to my eyes before I could even process why they had to endure such hell. I believe more people should come and learn about this place. Next time, I want to take my time exploring the museum at my own pace. I think this tour is great for those who want to visit many affordable and worthwhile places.
一週間旅行の最終日に利用しました。
ベテランの添乗員さんがとてもお話がうまく、乗車中も楽しむ事ができました。
短時間で最後に色々なおすすめポイントを周る事ができるのでおすすめです。最後のひめゆりの塔は沖縄旅行の中でも海以外のポイントで特に行けて良かったです。空気が違いました。自分より若く志の高い人達の事を思うとなぜこんな地獄を味わわないといけないのか、そんな風に考えるより先に空気で伝わってきて涙が出ました。もっと多くの人が来て知るべき所だと思います。
また、今度は自分のペースでゆっくり資料館を見に行きたいです。
安くて見ごたえがある所にたくさん行きたい方にはおすすめのツアーだと思います。

I participated on the last day of my trip. Perhaps because it was the off-season, there were few participants, and the time spent at each location was short, but it didn't feel too rushed, which was nice. We arrived at Ishigaki Airport with enough time to explore, and I was able to leisurely choose some additional souvenirs. However, it was disappointing that the guide's voice was very difficult to hear while on the bus. I was sitting near the front, so I could barely hear, but I wonder if those at the back could hear almost nothing? I think the microphone volume needs to be increased.
For lunch, a hamburger set was already prepared. It was ready to eat as soon as we arrived. The hamburger and Yaeyama soba were warm, but the fish tempura was completely cold, which was disappointing. The seasonings were delicious, just as recommended.

The travel period just after the long holiday and before the rainy season was perfect. The mangrove forest tour by boat in Iriomote offered an exotic atmosphere, with scenery different from that of Okinawa's main island, resembling the streets of Guam. The water buffalo cart ride to Yufu was also relaxing, and the meal at the botanical garden was delicious. On Taketomi Island, I chose to rent a bicycle, which was the right decision. I leisurely rode my bike to the star sand beach and visited the museum. I got a little lost, but that too became a memorable experience. The only mistake was not bringing my swimsuit. For those on the rental bicycle plan, a swimsuit is essential. Finally, before returning the bicycle, I had some tea while listening to island songs, feeling relaxed in the gentle breeze under a private home's eaves.
連休明けの梅雨前で旅行期間は最高でした。西表のボートでのマングローブ林観光は異国情緒が有り沖縄本島と違う風景で街並みもグアムの様な雰囲気でした。由布への水牛車ものんびりと島に渡っての植物園での食事も美味しかったです。最後の竹富島ではレンタサイクルをチョイスしましたが、正解です。のんびりと自転車で星の砂の浜に行ったり、資料館に行ったり。少し道に迷いましたがそれも思い出です。ただ、水着を持ってなかったのが唯一の失敗です。レンタサイクルプランの方は水着は必須です。最後に自転車を返す前にお茶をしましたが、民家の軒先で静かな風に吹かれて島唄を聴き癒されました。

It was a good tour although we expect a hop-on, hop-off type of tour but nonetheless the guide was very nice and accommodating. The english audio guide is good but it would also be nice if the tour guide could speak English as well. The tour was a smooth flowing tour of the city and gave us a good glimpse of the must see places in Osaka. Too bad we were a bit tired from our trip that I fell asleep on the last part of the tour. We were lucky because the weather was cooperating and it was not sunny but not raining as well, just a little overcast. All in all, I recommend this tour as a start off for tourists who wanted to have a short glimpse of what must one see while in Osaka.

I highly recommend this tour as you can visit three islands in the Yaeyama archipelago in just one day. On Iriomote Island, we enjoyed a Nakama River cruise, on Yubu Island, we took a water buffalo cart ride, and on Taketomi Island, we went cycling, which allowed us to experience the unique attractions of each island. I especially think it's great that on Taketomi Island, you can choose activities based on your individual preferences, and you can also select the return boat time, making it a relatively flexible tour despite being a guided one.
1日で見所を押さえた八重山の離島を3島も廻れるのでおすすめです。
西表島では仲間川クルーズ、由布島では水牛車、竹富島ではサイクリングとその島々の特徴にあった観光が出来て良かったです☆
特に竹富島ではそれぞれの要望に沿ってアクティビティーを選べるのがとてもいいと思いますし、竹富島からの帰りの船の時間も自分たちで選べるのでツアーでありながら比較的自由度の高いツアーだと思います☆

I think this is a very efficient tour because the guide explains the island and tourist attractions that you wouldn't understand just from the guidebook!
At each location, the guide takes photos for you, and if you schedule your return flight in the afternoon, you can arrange this tour in the morning, which allows for a stop at the airport on the way back. This is especially recommended for solo travelers who don't plan to rent a car.
The lunch was delicious, and the guide's sanshin performance was pleasant. However, I thought it would have been even better if we could have stopped at Hirakubo Cape, the northernmost point of the island!
バスで島の名所をガイドブックからだけでは分からない島や観光名所の説明をしてくれるのでとても効率的なツアーだと思います!!
各所ではガイドさんが写真を撮ってくれたり、帰りの飛行機を午後にして午前中にこのツアーを組めば帰りがけ空港にも寄ってくれるのでもするのでレンタカーで回る予定のないひとり旅の人には特にオススメです☆
お昼ご飯も美味しく、ガイドさんの三線も心地よくて◎。ただ、島最北端の平久保崎にも寄れたらもっといいのになと思いました!

On May 16th (Monday), I went on a three-island tour. Today marks the start of the rainy season, so I was worried about whether the weather would hold up for the day. However, as I stepped out of the hotel and looked up at the sky, I was greeted by blue skies and thick clouds with a beautiful rainbow, which felt like a good omen. I have a feeling that things will go well.
After completing the procedures at the remote island terminal, I took a commemorative photo with the statue of Yoshitaka Gushiken and boarded the boat. The ride to Ohara Port took just over 30 minutes; it wasn't enough to make me seasick, but the boat was rocking quite a bit. It started to rain as well.
Once we arrived, I took care of my restroom needs and switched to the mangrove cruise boat to set off. Although it was cloudy, the weather improved with occasional rays of sunlight breaking through. My excitement for the mangroves, heightened by the scenery I saw the previous day at the coral reef in Ishigaki Island, was palpable. As we traveled upstream from the sea into Nakama River, the mangroves appeared with their twisted roots and densely packed roots supporting a single trunk, creating a mountain-like shape. Although they were just regular plant roots, everything exuded a strong vitality, making me feel like some mysterious creature might appear.
The captain skillfully navigated the boat while explaining the trees and birds, showcasing a meticulousness typical of women. He showed us a handful of large clams that were harvested right there. On the way there, I was too busy taking photos, but on the return trip, I enjoyed the scenery at a leisurely pace.
Next, we took a bus to Iriomote Island, to Mihara. The driver's anecdotes about the remote islands were entertaining, making the journey enjoyable. Upon arriving at Mihara, we were greeted by many water buffaloes on the beach. We boarded the "Hibari" cart, which was quite crowded due to various reasons.
The driver shared stories about the upbringing of the hibari calves, and laughter filled the cart as we arrived at the opposite shore at the Yufu Island Botanical Garden. We were welcomed with leis, which lifted our spirits. There were also opportunities for commemorative photos and photo sales.
As we passed through the tropical banyan trees, vibrant flowers, and large plants and leaves, we made our way to the lunch venue. We enjoyed Okinawan cuisine served in a tiered box, and after that, we strolled through the botanical garden again.
The rain picked up a bit here, so we ventured out with umbrellas through the lush greenery towards the sea. The pristine white sandy beach and the transparent ocean were beautiful. I thought to myself that it would have been stunning if the weather had been clear. On the way back, I was swayed by the "Koumei" cart, leaving Yufu behind.
Returning to Ohara Port, we headed to the last island, Taketomi Island. After a restroom break at the waiting area, we boarded the "Mansaku" cart and set off. Along the way, we listened to the charming island songs sung by the driver, as we leisurely progressed through the traditional streets lined with coral stone walls, orange-tiled roofs, and shisa statues.
After circling the island, we took a commemorative photo with Mansaku. There was a paid photo service and a free small photo gift. Of course, we could also take pictures with our own cameras.
On the way back to Taketomi Port, we stopped by Hoshizuna Beach. We received star sand as a gift, but following the guide's advice, I collected some star sand myself. This concluded our day's itinerary as we returned to Ishigaki Island. By the time we were heading back, I had completely gotten used to the boat's rocking and felt relaxed.
It was a day that flew by, but for someone new to Ishigaki Island, it was great to efficiently visit many tourist spots. Next time, I would love to stay overnight on a remote island on a sunny day. I might be hooked!
5月16日(月)、3島めぐりです。本日から梅雨に突入ということで、一日お天気がもつか心配ですが、ホテルから出て空を見上げると青空と厚い雲になんと虹がかかっていて、幸先いい感じ。なんとかいけそうな予感がします。
離島ターミナルで手続きを済ませ、具志堅用高さんの銅像と記念撮影をして船に乗り込みます。
大原港まで30分強、船酔いまではいきませんが、なかなかの揺れ。雨も降ってきました。
到着後、トイレを済ませから、マングローブクルーズ船に乗り換え出発です。
曇ってはいるものの時折り薄日が差すまでに天候も回復。前日、石垣島のビルギ群落で見た景色で高まったマングローブへの期待に胸が膨らみます。海から仲間川へと遡っていくにつれ見えてくるマングローブは、どうしたらそうなるのかというくらいに曲がりくねった木の根や、一本の幹を支えるために山の形に密集した根。普通の植物の根と同じなのだけれど、とにかく全てが太く強い生命力を感じさせ、何か不思議な生き物が現れそうな気がしてきます。
船長さんは木々や鳥たちのの説明をしながら、女性ならではの細やかさで見事なハンドルさばきです。ここで採れたという片手いっぱいの大きなしじみを見せてくれました。
行きは写真を撮るのに夢中でしたが、帰りはのんびり景色を楽しみます。
次はバスで西表島、美原へ。ドライバーさんの離島あるあるが楽しくて、移動中も退屈しません。
美原に着くと、浜にはたくさんの水牛たち。訳あり、子だくさんの「ひばり」号に乗車します。
御者のおじさんが聞かせてくれる、ひばりの子供たちの生い立ち話に、牛車中笑いに包まれながら、対岸の由布島植物園に到着。歓迎のレイをかけてもらって、気分も高まります。記念撮影と写真販売もありました。
南国ならではのがじゅまるの木や鮮やかな花々、大きな草木や葉っぱの間を抜けながら、ランチの会場へ。一段の重箱を仕切って小分けされた沖縄料理に舌鼓をうち、再度植物園の散策へ。
ここで雨が少し強くなったので、傘を差しながら鮮やかな緑の中を抜け海へ。真っ白な砂浜と透き通った海。晴れていたなら、きっとすごくきれいだろうなと思いながら、帰りは、ひばりの娘「小梅」号にゆられ、由布を後にしました。
大原港へ戻り、最後の島、竹富島へ。待合所でトイレ休憩の後、「満作」号に乗車し、出発です。途中途中で御者のおじさんの味のある島唄を聞きながら、サンゴの石垣とオレンジの屋根瓦とシーサー、伝統の街並みをゆったり、まったりと進んでゆきます。
島を一周後、満作と記念撮影。有料の写真販売と無料の小さな写真のプレゼントがありました。もちろん、自分のカメラでも撮影可能です。
竹富港への帰りに星砂浜へ立ち寄ります。プレゼントで星の砂をもらえるのですが、ガイドさんのアドバイスを聞いて、自ら星の砂を採取。これにて、一日の行程は終了。竹富港から石垣島へと戻ります。帰りには船の揺れにもにもすっかりなれ、余裕です。
あっ!という間の一日でしたが、石垣島初心者には、たくさんの観光地を効率良く周れて、とっても良かったです。
次回はお天気の良い日に、離島で宿泊もしてみたいな。はまったかも!!

It was drizzling from the time we left Sapporo, and when we arrived at Lake Shikotsu, it was rainy and a bit chilly. However, the rain falling on the lake added to its charm, and I was glad we could ride the glass boat without any issues. By the time we reached Lake Toya, the rain had stopped, and I was able to take beautiful photos of the lake and the blooming wisteria. I was worried about having time to enjoy the hot springs, but I managed to soak in the outdoor bath and enjoy the view of the lake from there. We also included other attractions like the cable car, and we made stops at Mushroom Kingdom, observation decks, and service areas, making for a packed day. The bus guide was great, and it turned out to be a fun day. If you go to Hokkaido and find yourself wondering, "What should we do today?" I recommend this tour.
札幌を出発時から霧雨で、支笏湖に着いた時は雨降り&肌寒かったですが、雨がポツポツと降り注ぐ湖も味があり、グラスボートには問題なく乗れたので良かったです。洞爺湖に着いた頃には雨も止み、湖や咲き誇る藤の写真も綺麗に撮れました。温泉に入る時間があるか心配でしたが、何とか露天に浸かり、そこからも湖を眺めることが出来ました。ケーブルカーなど他の乗り物も入り、途中立ち寄ったきのこ王国や展望台やサービスエリアなど盛り沢山で、またバスガイドさんの案内もよく、楽しい一日となりました。北海道に行き、「今日はどうしよう」と迷ったらこのツアーをお勧めします。

I would recommend this. It works out about the same as getting public transport and buying a ticket to the aquarium alone. It was a little rushed, I think the glass place and the pineapple place are a waste of time. The butterfly place was cool as was the dolphin show. The aquarium is amazing! A must see.

I used this tour for a family trip during this year's Golden Week. It was a short 2-night, 3-day trip, and since it was my first time in Ishigaki Island, I wanted to efficiently visit the sightseeing spots. This tour is recommended because it allows you to visit the main attractions of three islands in one day. However, I can't deny that it felt a bit rushed. I think it might have been a bit tough for my parents, who have some mobility issues.
今年のGWに家族旅行で利用しました。2泊3日の短い旅行で、しかも初めての石垣島でしたので、効率よく観光地をまわりたいと考えていました。本ツアーは3島の主な観光地を1日でまわることができるのでおすすめです。ただ、すこし慌ただしくなってしまう感は否めません。足腰の悪い両親には少しきつかったのではと思います。

My spouse and I, in our 60s, traveled from Hokkaido to Osaka for sightseeing. Transferring trains and walking can be quite exhausting, so we searched for a relaxing tour and found one! The price is reasonable, and the bus makes it easy. The access to the departure point is excellent, and it includes a guide. Plus, it's a double-decker bus with an open ceiling. This is the way to go! The route covers all the key points and takes you to delicious spots. I should mention that sitting in the back offers a better view than sitting in the front.
The only downside is that the legroom in the seats is a bit cramped. Here are the details: I honestly didn't have high expectations given the price, but I was very satisfied. The guide was also very likable, and the explanations were clear. Just a heads up, the bus doesn't have a restroom, so be mindful before boarding. Since this is a sightseeing tour while the bus is in motion, make sure not to miss any moments. There is only one stop aside from waiting at traffic signals. Even if the time and cost increase a bit (from the user's perspective, I feel that up to 800 yen is reasonable), it would be nice to have stops at photo spots.
夫婦(60代)で、北海道から大阪観光。電車の乗継、歩きは正直しんどいので、ラクラクツアーを検索していたら、ヒット!!。 価格がお手頃。バスで楽々。発着所へのアクセス抜群。ガイド付き。そして、2階建バスで、天井がオープン。これしか無いですね。実際も、ポイントを押さえたルートで、美味しいとこ取りです。前方に座るより、後方の方が見やすい事を付け加えて置きます。★マイナス1個は、座席の足スペースが狭い事。以下詳細説明:この価格だったので、正直あまり期待していませんでしたが、満足度は高いです。ガイドさんも好感度が高いです。説明もわかりやすかったです。バスにはトイレがついていないので、乗車前は注意。あくまで、走行しながらの観光なので一瞬を見逃さないようにして下さい。信号待ち以外で停車する所は一か所のみです。時間と代金が多少アップしても(利用者サイドの感覚では、800円までならリーズナブルと感じる範囲です。)写真スポットでの停車があってもいいかな。
Thank you for riding the Osaka Sky Vista. We hope you enjoyed a full tour of Osaka on our open bus, feeling the seasonal breeze.
We also appreciate your valuable feedback regarding the seating and stop points, which we will take into consideration for the future.
We have another course available, so please consider riding with us again if the opportunity arises.
Thank you for your comments.

Everything went smoothly, and I was able to spend a comfortable day.
I chose cycling on Taketomi Island, and the weather was nice, so I had a great time.
I thought about having some tea to relax, but most of the shops were closed, and the ones that were open took over 30 minutes to serve what I ordered.
However, this is also Okinawa time! I found it amusing to just take it easy.
すべてがスムーズに運び、快適な1日を過ごすことが出来ました。
竹富島ではサイクリングを選びましたが、お天気もよくルンルンで楽しめました。
疲れてお茶でもしようかと思いましたが、閉まってるお店ばかりで、やってるお店も注文したものが出てくるのに30分以上かかる、と。
しかし、これも沖縄時間❗ゆったりしてると、笑えました。

I was able to show my fiancé, who lives in Australia, around my hometown. There was an English guide available, and the car was comfortable, so I was very satisfied.
オーストラリア在住の婚約者と帰郷ついでに地元案内。英語案内機もあり、車内は快適でとっても満足しました。
Thank you for riding the Osaka Sky Vista. I hope that even the locals were able to enjoy Osaka from a high perspective once again. With the northern course available, I believe you could also appreciate sights like Osaka Castle and Nakanoshima. Please ride with us again if you have the opportunity. Thank you.

My husband and I attended the Day tour to Mt. Fuji on Saturday. We were picked up near the LOVE statue in Shinjuku which is very convenient to everyone. Also audio was given to us which is on different languages through out the tour. Free wifi was on board and the tour guide were awesome including the driver. They were very helpful in everything. I will recommend this tour to my friends and I believed that it's worth the money.
Good job!

I participated in a tour that took us from Ishigaki Island by boat to Iriomote Island, and then to Yubu Island and Taketomi Island.
On Iriomote Island, we enjoyed a boat tour of the Nakama River, where the guide provided detailed information about the island's features and plants, making it a lot of fun.
After having lunch on Yubu Island, we were free to explore the island at our own pace, which was very relaxing. Riding the water buffalo across the river was particularly interesting, and the small children riding with us were thrilled. After a leisurely time on Yubu Island, we headed to Taketomi Island.
On Taketomi Island, we started with a bus tour. Since it was a large group tour, I was a bit worried about whether I would enjoy the bus sightseeing, but the bus driver kindly shared information about the island's features and made stops at viewpoints and beaches, allowing us to enjoy the sightseeing. Thanks to the bus driver teaching us how to find star sand, we were able to discover a lot, which was great.
It was especially hot that day, and since the roads on Taketomi Island are covered in sand, it seemed like biking would be difficult, so the bus tour was definitely the right choice. After the bus tour, we leisurely explored the island by water buffalo cart. I thought I would be tired after visiting three islands, but it was a well-organized tour that allowed us to take our time.
石垣島から船で西表島に息、その後、由島、竹富島と3島を巡るツアーに参加しました。
西表島は仲間川を船で観光しましたが、船のガイドの方が島の特徴や植物のことを丁寧に教えてくれて、とっても楽しかったです。
由布島ではお昼ご飯を食べた後は自由に島をまわれて、ゆっくりできました。特に水牛にのって川を渡って行くのはとても面白く、一緒に乗っていた小さい子どもたちも大喜びでした。由布島でのんびりした後は、竹富島へ。
竹富島ではまずバス観光をしました。大人数のツアーだったこともあるので、バス観光で楽しめるかなと不安に思っていましたが、バスの運転手さんが丁寧に島の特徴を教えてくれ、ビューポイントやビーチに寄ってくれたので、楽しく観光することができました。星砂もバスの運転手さんが見つけ方を教えてくれたおかげで、たくさん見つけられ、とても良かったです。
特にその日はとても暑く、竹富島は道路が砂で覆われており自転車だと大変そうだったので、バス観光は正解でした。バス観光の後は水牛車でゆっくり島を巡り、3島まわって疲れるのかなと思っていましたが、至れり尽くせりのツアーでとてもゆっくり巡ることができました。

Churaumi Aquarium was a lot of fun! The guide and the driver were both nice, and it became a wonderful memory.
However, it was indeed written in the itinerary that "all-you-can-eat pineapple is included!" but it was not actually provided.
I went with my fiancé, and since we both love pineapple, we were really looking forward to the all-you-can-eat option.
So, I have some dissatisfaction... It was very disappointing.
美ら海水族館、とても楽しかったです!
ガイドさんも運転手さんもいい方で、素敵な想い出になりました。
ただ、旅程に確かに「パイナップル食べ放題付いてます!」と書いてあったのですが、実際はありませんでした。
婚約者と一緒に行ったのですが、パイナップルが大好きなので食べ放題をとても楽しみにしていました。
なので不満が残っています・・・
非常に残念でした
Dear First-Time Okinawa Visitor,
Thank you very much for using VELTRA and for participating in our tour. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused regarding the "All-You-Can-Eat Pineapple" description.
Upon confirming with the tour operator, we learned that currently, this tour does not offer all-you-can-eat pineapple, but only samples (which may be substituted with alternative snacks depending on the pineapple harvest situation). We deeply regret that the delay in updating our activity page led to your expectations not being met.
We have just updated the information on the relevant page. We believe this update was made possible due to your valuable feedback, for which we are grateful.
To prevent such occurrences in the future, both our company and the tour operator will pay closer attention to the information provided.
We sincerely apologize once again for this matter. We look forward to your next visit.
Sincerely,
VELTRA Customer Support Team

この度はベルトラのご利用および当ツアーへのご参加をいただき誠にありがとうございました。
また、「パイナップル食べ放題」の表記については、多大なご迷惑をお掛けし誠に申し訳ありません。
ツアー催行会社に確認したところ、現在、当ツアーではパイナップルの食べ放題を行っておらず、
試食のみ(パイナップル収穫状況により代替のお菓子となる場合もございます)をサービスさせていただいているとのことでした。
当アクティビティページの更新遅れによりお客様のご期待を裏切ることになってまい、大変申し訳なく思っております。
当該ページの情報は先程更新させていただきました。
これも今回の貴重なご指摘があったからこそのものと思っております。感謝申し上げます。
今後このようなことがないよう、弊社および催行会社共々、記載情報については一層の注意を払って参ります。
この度は誠に申し訳ありませんでした。
またのご利用を心からお待ち申し上げます。

Each segment of time was short. I wanted to take a little more time to look around.
I was satisfied because I could get off the tour midway and go to Kangaroo Valley freely.
It was just right for me, as I don't have legs.
一つ一つの時間が短い。
もうちょっとゆっくり見たかった。
途中でツアーから降りてカンガラーの谷に行ったり自由にできたから満足
足のない私にはちょうど良かった。

Saijō Gushikawa has limited bus services, making it difficult to visit individually due to time constraints, but this tour covers the highlights of the southern region (including Saijō Gushikawa) thoroughly in half a day, which was very helpful. It was a very fulfilling half-day tour. They also provide transportation back to the airport, so for those with flights after 2:00 PM, it’s a great option for the last day of your trip. I highly recommend this tour.
斎場御嶽はバスの本数が少なくて個人で行くのは時間的に難しかったのですがこのツアーは南部の名所(もちろん斎場御嶽も)をしっかり半日で回ってくれるので助かりました。とても充実した半日ツアーでした。帰りは空港まで送迎もしてくれるので、フライトが14:00以降の人は旅行の最終日に良いと思います。とてもお勧めなツアーです。

On May 8th (Sunday), the last day of Golden Week, I participated with a friend who was visiting from my hometown.
Along with about 10 others, including families, friends, and international travelers, we departed from Osaka Station at the scheduled time of 10:30! The weather was nice, and the breeze on the open-top bus felt wonderful.
Although I was familiar with Osaka Station and the areas around Ohatsu Tenjin and Yodoyabashi, I was reminded that each building has its own history. I learned that Shinsaibashi is Osaka's version of Ginza, that Namba's Kuromon Market is bustling with international visitors, and that Tanimachi is filled with temples... there was so much I didn't know! I wouldn't have noticed that there are climbing rocks for free climbing (currently not in use) on the wall of the general amusement facility along Midosuji if I hadn't taken this bus.
Abeno Harukas is impressively tall. It's no surprise that it has Japan's highest observation deck. The street just one block behind Den Den Town is Otaku Road. On weekends, the Nipponbashi area becomes a pedestrian paradise, hosting a street festival. I learned a lot of things that I wouldn't have known without actually visiting.
After touring Minami, we got on the expressway to return to Osaka Station. From the expressway, we could look down on the cityscape of Osaka from an even higher vantage point. We passed by FM OSAKA's dome and the Statue of Liberty in America-mura, and made our way between the Festival Hall and the Daido Life Building to arrive at Osaka Station.
Feeling the pleasant breeze and getting to know Osaka from various angles made for a very enjoyable sightseeing tour.
5月8日(日)ゴールデンウィークの最終日に、地方出身・在阪のわたしと、地元から遊びに来ていた友達と2人で参加しました。
ご家族連れ、お友達同士、海外からの旅行客など約10名と一緒に、10:30予定時刻どおりに大阪駅を出発!
いいお天気だったので、開放的なバスの2階で受ける風はとても気持ちが良かったです。
見慣れた大阪駅やお初天神・淀屋橋界隈でしたが、ひとつひとつの建物に歴史があることに改めて気づかされました。 また、心斎橋が大阪の銀座であること、難波の黒門市場が海外のお客さんでにぎわっていること、谷町はお寺でいっぱい・・・知らないことだらけでした!
御堂筋沿いの総合アミューズメント施設壁面でフリークライミング用の石や岩(※現在は使用不可)があることは、このバスに乗らなければ気づかなかったと思います。
阿倍野ハルカスがまあ大きいこと大きいこと。日本一高い展望台があることに納得です。
でんでんタウンの1本奥の道がオタロード。土日には日本橋界隈は歩行者天国になり、ストリートフェスタが開催されるとのこと。
実際に訪れなければ知らないことをたくさん教えていただきました。
ミナミを周遊したのち、高速に乗って大阪駅へ戻ります。
高速に乗るぶん、地上よりもさらに高い位置から大阪の町並みを見下ろせます。
FM OSAKAのドームやアメ村の自由の女神を横に眺め、フェスティバルホールと大同生命ビルの間を通り抜け大阪駅に到着です。
気持ちのいい風を感じながら、いろいろな角度から大阪を知れて、とても楽しい観光ツアーでした。
Thank you for riding the OSAKA SKY VISTA.
I believe you were able to experience the scenery and nature (the breeze) unique to our open-deck bus, along with the guidance provided by our tour guide.
We also have another route, the North Course, which offers a different perspective of Osaka, including the iconic Osaka Castle and the Nakanoshima Central Public Hall. We would be delighted if you could invite your friends to join us for this experience.
