All Reviews for Bus Tours

all places and activities were interesting especially the ninja village. tour guide was nice and warm.

I was very satisfied. Two-thirds of the tour participants were from overseas, but I enjoyed it thoroughly.

First, the guide was excellent. They provided detailed explanations in both Japanese and English, and their English was very easy to understand. Even after getting off the bus, they were attentive to individual photo opportunities and provided additional explanations here and there, showing great consideration.

Thanks to the lack of special traffic jams, the meeting time was just right, allowing everyone to explore freely.

Regarding the bus, it was new, noticeable, and very comfortable. The driver was experienced, and I enjoyed the bus journey without feeling nauseous.

About the tour overall, I visited Fushimi Inari Taisha, a place I had wanted to go to. The number of foreigners was high, and there were many people, making it difficult to take good photos, but I would like to visit again when the boom settles down. I really felt the atmosphere there.

At Kiyomizu-dera, we had enough time to take a leisurely look around, and it was fun to check out the souvenir shops along the approach. The guide helped us find the best angles for photos, which was very helpful. After 25 years, I felt a mix of emotions seeing the changes and the things that remained the same at Kiyomizu-dera, and I could really sense the history.

At Kinkaku-ji, it looked like it was about to rain, but the clouds actually added a mystical touch, beautifully contrasting with the gold. As a World Heritage site, it also had a high number of foreign visitors.

Overall, I would rate this tour above 80 points. I had never participated in such a satisfying tour before, so I was grateful. Since I often use options abroad, I realized that there are wonderful tours available domestically as well. Kyoto city is complex and always crowded with tourists, so I feel that a tour is definitely more efficient than traveling individually.

とても満足できました。ツアー参加者の2/3は海外の方でしたが、十分楽しめました。
まず、ガイドさん
日本語、英語と丁寧に説明があり、英語もとても聞き取りやすく、バスを降りた後も個別の写真も気にかけてくださったり、ところどころ補足説明をされたりと、とても配慮のある方でした。
特別な渋滞もなかったおかげで、集合時間もちょうどよく、各々を自由にみることができました。
バスについて
新しく、目立つバスでとても快適でした。運転手さんも手馴れていて酔うこともなくバス旅を楽しめました。
ツアー全体について
一度行きたかった「伏見稲荷大社」。外人率は高く、人も多くてよい写真がとれませんでしたが、ブームが落ち着いた頃再度改めて行きたいと思う場所でした。雰囲気はバッチリ感じました。
「清水寺」では十分な時間をいただいたので、ゆっくり見ることができましたし、参道のお土産屋さんをのぞいたりと楽しかったです。どこからの角度の写真がベストポジションなのかを教えてくださったので、ポイントポイントで写真がとれ助かりました。25年ぶりの清水寺もかわったところ、かわらないところ、歴史を感じ、いろいろな思いが湧き上がりました。
「金閣寺」雨が降り出しそうになりましたが、その雲行きが逆に神秘的・金色とのコントラストが美しくとても映えていました。世界遺産なだけにこちらも外人率が高いです。

全体的に平均点80点以上で、このような満足できるツアーに参加したことがなかったので、ありがたかったです。もっぱら海外でのオプションでの利用が多いので、国内でもすばらしいツアーがあるのだと実感しました。京都市内は複雑で観光客もいつも多いので、個人で移動するより、ツアーのほうが断然効率よくまわれる気がします。

Recently, I participated in a tour via the Namba route. I had gone to Osaka for some errands and wanted to do a little sightseeing, but since I was unfamiliar with the area and alone, I had given up on that idea. However, I came across this tour online and made an immediate reservation. I thought it would just be a bus ride without any stops for sightseeing, but it turned out to be very relaxing to just stay on the bus and enjoy the views. It was a great deal as we were able to see a lot in a short time. Moreover, since I was the only one, the guide kindly suggested I sit in the front row, allowing me to enjoy the experience comfortably without having to worry about sharing the space. This autumn, I want to ride the Sky Bus in Kyoto.

先日、なんばルートで参加しました。所用で大阪へ行ったついでに、ほんの少し観光したかったのですが……不慣れな土地ですし、一人なのであきらめていたのです、このツアーをネットで
見かけ、即予約しました。下車観光もないし、車窓だけか……と期待していなかったのですが、降りないで、バスに乗っているだけなのがすごく気楽でしたし、短時間でぐるりと回れたのですごくお得でした。その上、一人だけだったので、ガイドさんが空いていた最前列を勧めて下さり、相席で気を遣うこともなく快適に過ごせました。今秋は、京都のスカイバスに乗りたいです。

We enjoyed the tour, flight simulator was very exciting and we managed to get a clear view of the mountain when the clouds cleared for a short time. Tour guides were very helpful and knowledgeable

You can efficiently enjoy island hopping.
At the Ishigaki Island ferry terminal, you can pick up tickets for boats and meals before departing on your own.
First, take a comfortable, spacious high-speed boat for 40 minutes, followed by a Nakama River cruise on Iriomote Island, and then visit Yubu Island with water buffalo, where you can enjoy a meal.
The meal was an Okinawan bento, and the atmosphere was enhanced by the song "Tears Soaked with Tears" at the water buffalo experience.

From Iriomote to Taketomi, it was over 30 minutes on a smaller boat, and it was hot.
After that, we took a glass-bottom boat, but it was disappointing due to the poor sea conditions after the typhoon.
We chose to take a bus on the island due to concerns about rain, but there was too little time for free exploration in Taketomi.
We only had about 15 minutes, which was unfortunate as we couldn't enjoy visiting the lovely souvenir shops or having tea.
My daughters, who chose the rental bicycle plan, were able to select their preferred ferry times (16:00, 17:00, 17:40) and enjoyed themselves until the last ferry. I was envious.
If you're confident in your physical stamina, I recommend this option.
By the way, the 16:00 ferry was the same comfortable high-speed boat as in the morning, while the 17:40 ferry was a smaller boat, but it had a cool cabin below.

離島めぐりを効率よく楽しめます。
石垣島の離島ターミナルで船や食事などの切符を受け取って各自で出発。
最初は新しくて広い快適な高速船で40分、西表島の仲間川クルーズ、水牛で由布島、食事。
食事は沖縄料理のお弁当で、水牛では涙そうそうの歌付きで雰囲気ありました。

西表から竹富までは小さめの船30分以上、暑かったです。
その後グラスボート、台風後のコンディションの悪い海なのが残念でした。
島内は雨を警戒してバスを選択しましたが、竹富自由散策の時間が少なすぎます。
15分くらいしかなく、素敵なお土産店巡りとかお茶とかの時間は取れず残念でした。
同行の娘たちはレンタサイクルプランでしたので、好きな船便（16時、17時、17時40）が選べて、最後の便まで楽しんでから戻りました。羨ましかったです。
体力に自信があるならこちらをお勧めします。
因みに16時は朝と同じ快適な高速船。17：40は小さな船でしたが下に涼しい船室があったそうです。

It was a tour that made effective use of the last morning of our trip. The guide provided a wealth of information about Ishigaki Island, both at the sightseeing spots and during the bus ride, sharing enjoyable stories that were truly great. I hardly had time to sleep! At the sightseeing locations, I was able to get some great photos, so thank you for that.

In the end, I was dropped off at the airport, which helped save on transportation costs. For those visiting Ishigaki Island for the first time, this tour is highly recommended as it covers all the main attractions. The hamburger for lunch was delicious, and the scenery was beautiful as well.

Both the guide and the driver were kind, making the experience really enjoyable. Not only did the guide share interesting stories, but the performance of the sanshin and singing also captured the essence of Ishigaki Island.

旅行最終日の午前中を有効に活用できるツアーでした。
観光場所でも、道中のバスの中でも、石垣島の情報を満遍なく、楽しいお話を交えてのガイドさんのお話、ほんとによかったです。寝る暇もなかったですよ。
観光どころでは、お写真を上手に撮っていただき、ありがとうございました。
最後には空港で降ろしてもらえたので、交通費の節約にもなりました。
石垣島に初めて行く人には、メインどころを満遍なく回れるツアーなのでほんとにオススメです。
ランチのハンバーグも美味しかったし、景色もよかったですよ。
ガイドのおじさんも、運転手さんも親切でほんとに楽しかったです。
ガイドのおじさんのお話だけでなく、三線の演奏と歌も石垣島の雰囲気満載でした。

I traveled to Okinawa for the first time with a friend. Since it was right after the rainy season, I was surprised by how hot it was during our short walks! The Churaumi Aquarium and the dolphin show "Okinchan Theater" were cool and provided us with a very enjoyable time, especially since we both love marine life.

Since we were also traveling from our hotel in Onna Village to Naha, I think it was quite reasonable. The only downside is that we arrived in Naha a bit late, but I suppose that's just how it is. It's also great for those who are not comfortable driving a rental car on unfamiliar roads or for those who want to enjoy a drink while sightseeing.

沖縄が初めての友達と二人で乗車しました。今回は梅雨明けだったこともあり、ちょっとした徒歩での移動が想像以上に暑くてびっくりしました！
美ら海水族館やイルカショー「おきちゃん劇場」は涼しく、また生き物好きの私たちにはとても楽しい時間となりました。
恩納村のホテルから那覇への移動も兼ねてだったので、かなりリーズナブルだったと思います。
那覇に着くのがちょっと遅い時間になるのが玉に瑕ですが、それは仕方がないのかなと。
不慣れな道でレンタカーが不安という人や、観光中にお酒が飲みたい人にもいいですね。

This is a convenient sightseeing bus that allows you to efficiently and reasonably visit famous spots. Two years ago, I took it once with my mother, and it was so good that I rode it again with a friend who was visiting Okinawa for the first time.

This time, since it was just after the rainy season, it was quite hot, but I was able to enjoy stunning views from a seaside café and ride a glass-bottom boat, which offered a different experience from my last visit.

I would love to ride it again if the opportunity arises.

名所を効率よく、なおかつリーズナブルに回れる便利な観光バスです。２年前に母と一度乗った時に、とても良かったので沖縄が初めての友達と再び乗車しました。
今回は梅雨明け直後ということもあり、かなり暑かったですが海辺のカフェで絶景を眺めたり、グラスボートに乗れたりと、前回とは違う楽しみ方もできました。
また、機会があったら乗ってみたいです。

I had a great experience on the tour organized by Rad Kanko last time, so I was looking forward to participating again with my daughter. While I was very satisfied with the content of the tour itself, both my daughter and I were surprised by the poor manners of some families with children, which diminished our enjoyment. If possible, I think it would be better to separate the seating for families with children and adults without children, either in the front or back, so that everyone can enjoy the trip without any unpleasant feelings. I had such an unpleasant experience that I'm now reconsidering using tour buses in the future, so I wanted to share my experience.

ラド観光さんの前回参加のツアーが良かったので今回も娘と楽しみに参加しました。ツアー自体の内容には大満足ですが、参加されているお子様連れの方々のマナーの悪さに母娘共々ビックリしてしまい楽しさが半減してしまいました。出来たら、お子様連れの方々と、そうでない大人の方々の座席を前方、後方等に分けて頂いた方がお互いに嫌な思いをせずに旅が楽しめたのでは無いかと思いました。これから観光バスを利用するのも考えてしまうくらい嫌な思いをしましたので、体験談として投稿させて頂きました。

It was very convenient to be able to sightsee while on the bus. However, it was extremely hot that day, and without a roof on the bus, my head was exposed to the sun, which was tough. Nevertheless, it became a memorable trip.

バスに乗ったまま観光できるのは、非常に有り難かった。
しかし、当日は非常に暑く、屋根がないバスのため頭が照らされて
辛かった。
しかし、それもいい思い出の旅となった。

I participated in a mother-daughter trip on the last day of our Okinawa vacation. It was a perfect plan to visit the places I wanted to see, such as the Seifa Utaki and the Himeyuri Monument. I thought it would have been nice to also see the Peace Memorial Park since it was nearby, but overall, it was a satisfying tour.

母娘旅行、沖縄旅行最終日に参加しました。
行ってみたかった斎場御嶽、ひめゆりの塔を回るちょうどよいプランでした。
平和祈念公園も近いから見れてもよかったかな～と思いましたが、全体的に満足なツアーでした。

Since I had watched the movie "Twenty-Four Eyes" before my trip, the Twenty-Four Eyes Movie Village was really great. Choshikei Monkey Park and Kankakei Gorge were impressive and highly recommended. However, I wish I could have explored more of the interior attractions on Shodoshima Island.

二十四瞳の映画を旅行前に鑑賞していたので、二十四の瞳映画村はとっても良かったです。銚子渓おさるの国や寒霞渓は迫力がありおすすめですね。ただもう少し小豆島の島内内部観光もしたかったです。

I had never been to Sefa Utaki, so I decided to join the tour. There were several pickup locations in Naha City, which was convenient as I could choose a nearby spot. However, the pickup was about 10 minutes late, which I thought was typical Okinawa time. The tour itself was great, as there was a guide who shared a lot of interesting information. Since we visited Sefa Utaki first thing in the morning, it was not crowded, allowing us to take our time and really appreciate the site!

斎場御嶽に行ったことがなかったので参加させて頂きました。
那覇市内のピックアップ場所が数カ所あり近場を選べるので有り難かったです。
ただピックアップが１０分ほど遅れたのはやはり沖縄タイムだなと思いました。
ツアー自体はガイドさんもいらっしゃり色々と御話をうかがえてとても良かったです。
斎場御嶽も朝一番だったので空いていてじっくり見ることができて良かったです！

We recently participated in a tour that included Fushimi Inari Taisha, Kiyomizu-dera, and Kinkaku-ji. The weather was great that day, perfect for sightseeing. First, at the meeting point, we received two papers from a Japanese bus guide: one with the tour schedule and another detailing the route for Fushimi Inari Taisha. Once we got on the bus, the guide explained about Fushimi Inari Taisha in Japanese and then repeated the same explanation in English. I was surprised to look around and see that out of nearly 20 tourists, only three groups (eight people) were Japanese, including myself. The majority were foreign tourists. After arriving at the entrance of Fushimi Inari Taisha, we had about an hour of free time to explore on our own. After seeing the thousands of torii gates, we enjoyed grilled skewers of baby octopus, scallops, and red shellfish from the many stalls lined up! They were delicious! (laughs) After that, we also had free time at Kiyomizu-dera. Then we had lunch at Shijo Karasuma. Contrary to what I expected, we had lunch in a beautiful building with many restaurants. There were various types of cuisine, including Italian and Chinese. After that, we took the train for just one station and headed to Kinkaku-ji! Along the way, the bus guide kindly told us that we could take beautiful photos from a certain spot, so we took pictures there! (laughs) The bus guide was very kind, and the tour had a lot of free time, which was different from the group tours I had imagined, and it was actually better! I would definitely like to request this tour again for future sightseeing!

私たちは先日伏見稲荷大社・清水寺・金閣寺を観光するこのツアーに参加しました。その日は天気が良く、絶好の観光日和でした。まず集合では日本人のバスガイドさんからツアーの時間日程の書いてある紙と伏見稲荷大社の回る道順などが書いてある紙の2枚を受取りました。バスに乗ってみると、バスガイドさんは最初に向かう伏見稲荷大社の説明を日本語で言ったあとに英語で同じ説明を始めました。ビックリして周りを見渡して見ると20人弱の観光客の中で日本人の組が私を含めて3組(8人)しかいませんでした。ほぼ観光客の外国人の方でした。その方たちと一緒に稲荷伏見大社の入口まで来たら、その後は1時間ほどの自由行動で皆さん各々自由に伏見稲荷大社を見回っていました。私たちも千本鳥居を見たあとに沢山並んでいる屋台でイイダコとほたてと赤貝の串焼きを食べました！とても美味しかったです！（笑）その後は清水寺も同様に自由行動で回りました。そしてその後は四条烏丸で昼食でした。予想と違ってレストランが多数入っている綺麗なビルの中で昼食を取る形でした。イタリアンだったり中華だったり、様々な種類のお料理が食べられる所でした。そしてその後は一駅だけ電車で移動して、次に金閣寺に向かいました！途中でバスガイドさんからここから写真を撮ると綺麗に取れるよっと教えて頂きその場で写真を撮りました（笑）バスガイドさんもすごく親切な方で、ツアーの内容も自由時間がとても多くてイメージしていた団体行動で観光するものと違ってむしろ良かったです！ぜひまたどこかへ観光する場合はお願いしたいと思うツアーでした！

I participated with my girlfriend. Although the weather wasn't very good, it was a satisfying tour that provided a very valuable experience. Without a specific time limit, we enjoyed a water buffalo tour and a rental bicycle tour, spending about four hours on the island, relishing the leisurely water buffalo sightseeing and the freedom of exploring the island on bicycles. In the morning, there were many people, but as the evening approached, the crowds thinned out, so for those who want a more relaxed experience, I recommend going later in the day. Also, you should definitely visit the shallow beach; it will surely become a wonderful memory, so you should bring your swimsuit.

彼女と参加しました。
天候があまり良くない日でしたが、とても貴重な体験が出来て満足なツアーでした。
滞在時間を特に決めずに私達は水牛観光＋レンタサイクルのツアーを体験し、のんびりとした時間の水牛観光と島内を自由に回れるレンタルサイクルを満喫したので、4時間程島に滞在しました。
午前中は人が多く夕方になるにつれて人が減ってきていたのでよりのんびりしたい人は遅めの時間がオススメです。
また遠浅の浜のビーチは是非いった方が良いです。
きっととても良い思い出になるので水着は持って行くべきです。

The cruise, gliding through the wind while seeing plenty of mangroves, was very pleasant. There were no other customers, so we got to enjoy a bit of luxury with a private experience. The water buffalo was very smart, and I was surprised. It was adorable.

たくさんのマングローブを見ながら風をきって走るクルーズはとても気持ちよかったです。ちょうどほかのお客様がいなく、貸し切りでちょっと豪華な感じを味わえました。
水牛さんはとても賢くて、びっくりしました。かわいらしかったです。

I visited Lake Shikotsu for the first time, and almost everyone boarded the glass boat. It seems there aren't many other attractions, so if you don't participate, free exploration might be tough. The lunch at Lake Toya was better than I expected, with a good variety of dishes. After that, we toured Mount Usu. There was one more twist on the way back! I think it would be nice to have more sightseeing options.

支笏湖に最初に行きましたが、
ほぼ全員がグラスボートに乗船しました。
他には見どころがないようで、
参加しないと自由散策はきついかも。
洞爺湖での昼食は思ったより、
品数が多く良かったです。
そのあと有珠山観光しました。
帰路でもうひとひねり！
観光があればよいと思います。

On our first trip to Osaka, my husband, who doesn't understand Japanese, and I decided to try the double-decker bus experience since we enjoyed it in London. Since it was our first time, we had a hard time finding the meeting place. Thanks to a kind station staff member, we finally arrived just in time. It was a bit cold, but the view from the top deck was amazing. It was a little disappointing that we couldn't get off and explore, but seeing the Glico sign was nostalgic and thrilling for me. We hit a bit of traffic on the way back, but we arrived safely thanks to the careful driving. The guide kindly told us how to get back to our hotel and recommended some restaurants.

日本語の分からない主人と初めての大阪旅行で、ロンドンでの二階建てバス体験が良かったので試すことにしました。何せ初めてなもんで集合場所を探すのに一苦労。親切な駅員さんのお陰で、やっと到着。もう少しで間に合わない所でした。ちょっと寒かったですが、二階からの眺めは最高でした。降りて見れないのがちょっと残念。でもグリコの看板が観れたのは私には懐かしく感激でした。帰り少し渋滞にはまりましたが、安全運転で無事到着。そこからホテルへの帰り方とかお勧めのレストランとか親切にガイドさんが教えてくれました。

I had plenty of time to see Seifa Utaki. At Okinawa World, with limited time, you will have to choose between seeing a show or the limestone caves.

せーふぁうたきはたっぷり見る時間があった。沖縄ワールドは、時間が少なくショーか鍾乳洞のどちらかを見る形になる。

This was my first trip to Okinawa! I considered renting a car, but since I wanted to visit not only the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium but also a few other places, I signed up for a tour because it was convenient and not expensive.

We participated as a family of four (with children in 3rd and 5th grade), and everyone was thrilled with the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, as well as Ryukyu Mura and Pineapple Park.

At Ryukyu Mura, we had an early lunch, and the soba was delicious. The butterfly garden inside was also interesting. The Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium has a relatively long visiting time, so we were satisfied not only with the aquarium but also with watching the dolphin show at the Ocean Expo Park's Okichan Theater and dipping our feet in the ocean.

Although it took time to pick up other tour participants from several hotels on the way to our destination, it wasn't too bothersome since we enjoyed the scenery outside. I think it's a day full of enjoyment.

It was a great tour because we were taken to the sightseeing spots by bus, and since it was only half a day, we could schedule other plans for the afternoon!

観光名所にバスで行ってもらい、しかも半日なので、午後にはまた違う予定を入れることができ良いツアーでした！

Mike Otani, the tour guide, was warm, friendly and attentive. His personality added a unique flavor to the tour. That's for sure! The tour bus was comfortable, and you can safely leave your things on the bus as you explore the different sights. Regardless of the clouds covering Mt Fuji during our stop at Lake Kawaguchi, a variety of beautiful flowers and a taste of the delicious, locally made blueberry ice cream made up for the obscured view. We also enjoyed the little fruits and veggie store there and bought fresh plums and tomatoes. Oshino village was charming but very much crowded that it felt like a busy market. Lunch at the ninja-themed village was delicious and filling. The place would probably be more enjoyable for families with young kids that need to get their wiggles out after having to sit still on the bus for some time. Mt Fuji 5th station was amazing! The clouds parted just as we got there and granted a view of the summit. You can get away from the crowds by avoiding the shops and hiking some distance up the Yoshida Trail and taking in the breathtaking views. The 4D experience was awesome and exciting! You really feel as though you are flying over Fuji-san and will appreciate the scenery even more. Disappointing that the schedule was too tight to allow a visit to the “La ville de Gaspard et Lisa” in the adjoining section of the park. Wouldn’t have minded paying extra and going home a little late for that. We do feel the various stops were a bit rushed and would've enjoyed a more leisurely pace to allow us to linger a bit longer at certain places. There is just enough time to take pictures and buy food, produce or souvenirs. Perhaps if the tour were to start earlier, then we would be able to unhurriedly digest the activities. Overall, the tour was excellent and well worth it! Would recommend it again, especially to families with kids. Quality of service is great and we are thankful for the experience. Would easily book another tour with Japan Panoramic.

I was able to travel much cheaper than if I had paid for the rental car and facility fees myself. It's quite affordable!

自分でレンタカーや施設料を個人で支払いするより断然安く旅ができました(*^_^*)かなり格安です(*^_^*)

It was difficult to make a reservation in advance. I had heard that there were many foreigners. Even when I tried to make a reservation directly, it was quite challenging, but I was able to easily book through this site. Additionally, there were many foreigners on the vehicle, and the meeting place felt like it could have been at the Eiffel Tower in Paris due to the number of foreigners. On the day of the experience, the weather was also favorable, and I had a great time.

事前に予約が困難なこと。外国人が多いことを聞いていました。直接予約をしても中々予約ができなかったのですがこのサイトからは簡単に予約ができました。また、車内は外国人が多く、集合場所はまるでパリのエッフェル塔での集合場所かな？と思わせるほど外国人が多かったです。当日は、天候にも恵まれ楽しい体験ができました。

I participated to finally ride the water buffalo cart. Perhaps due to the large number of participants, we departed on a large boat. The waves were quite rough on the way to Iriomote Island, and I got seasick. After 50 minutes, we arrived and switched to a cruise ship for the jungle cruise. After returning upstream, we transferred to a bus to move to the water buffalo cart boarding area on Yubu Island. Listening to the sound of the sanshin, we saw the hardworking water buffalo pulling a cart. I'm glad I could ride it and that I came here.

On Yubu Island, during our free time, we explored the island until it was time for the return water buffalo cart. The lunch was not bad if you didn't have high expectations, and I was full. It was so hot that the air conditioning was a treat.

From Iriomote Island to Taketomi Island, we smoothly traveled on a small high-speed boat. It didn't shake much, and I dozed off a bit.

On Taketomi Island, we took a bus to Hama Beach and collected star sand. Then we rode the water buffalo cart around the island. The water buffalo were more relaxed than I expected.

It was quick to get from Taketomi Island to Ishigaki Island.

It was a busy tour that covered three islands in one go, but I'm glad I chose this. The temperatures were too high to relax on each island. Since we could only stay a short time on Taketomi Island, I would like to revisit when the weather is milder.

念願の水牛車に乗るために参加しました。
参加人数が多いためか大型船で出発。
西表島への途中たいへん波が荒くて、船酔いしました。
50分で到着後、クルーズ船に乗り換えてジャングルクルーズへ。
川上から戻ってきてバスに乗り換え、由布島への水牛車乗り場へ移動。
三線の音色を聞きながら、まじめにキビキビ働く水牛さんの引く一輪車。
乗れてよかった、来てよかった。
自由行動の由布島。
帰りの水牛車が出る時間まで、島内散策しました。
お昼ご飯は期待しなければ、まずくはないレベルでお腹一杯に。
とにかく暑いのでクーラーがご馳走です。

西表島から竹富島へは小型高速船でスムーズに。
あまり揺れず、ウトウトと寝てしまうほど。

竹富島ではバスで皆治浜へ移動。星の砂を拾いました。
それから水牛車に乗って一周しました。
思っていたより水牛さんたちはのんびりしてました。

竹富島から石垣島へはすぐです。

一気に三島を巡った慌ただしいツアーでしたが、これを選択してよかったです。
気温が高過ぎて、各島でのんびりできる状態ではなかったし。
竹富島には短時間しか滞在できなかったので、もう少し気温が穏やかな時期に再訪したいです。

I was able to efficiently visit Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island, and traveling by bus was very easy. It was nice to have the freedom to explore each area. However, as a solo participant, I found it quite awkward that seating was assigned during lunch. I think it would be even better if there were more consideration for solo travelers!

西表島、由布島、竹富島と効率良くまわることができ、バスでの移動もとても楽でした。
各エリアでは自由にまわれたので良かったです。
ただ、私は一人参加でしたがお昼の際に席が決められていたのはとても気まずかったです。
もう少し一人参加の人への配慮があるとなお良いと思いました！

It was helpful to be able to go to various places by bus. I really enjoyed my first trip to Okinawa! However, the time for gathering came around quickly for each activity, which made things a bit hectic.

バスで色々行けるのは助かりました。
初沖縄を満喫できました！
ただ、やはり１つ１つあっという間に集合時時間が来てしまい、少し慌ただしいです。

The tourist guide and driver are very kind and professional. Trip planning is very suitable for foreign tourists, especially those without transportation. I am very glad to join this trip.

The tourist guide and driver are very kind and profession.Trip planning is very suitable for foreign tourists , especially without transportations.Very glad to join this trip.

I wanted to visit the Churaumi Aquarium, so I chose this tour that includes transportation from the hotel. There was plenty of time, and with the entrance ticket included, the price was a great deal. The guide was friendly and provided thorough explanations. There were several foreign guests, but thanks to the English notices about the meeting time posted in a few places, we were always able to depart on time. Thank you very much for a wonderful trip.

美ら海水族館に行ってみたくて、ホテルから送迎があるこのツアーを選びました。
時間もたっぷりあり、入場券付きでこのお値段はお得です。ガイドさんも感じがよく、説明も丁寧でした。外国人のお客様も何組かいらっしゃいましたが集合時間の注意を何箇所かに英語で掲示していたせいか、いつも時間通りに出発できました。楽しい旅行を本当にありがとうございました。

I had been wanting to visit Fushimi Inari Taisha for a long time, and during my visit, the tour guide introduced me to another solo female traveler. We were able to stick together, which helped us return to the bus without getting lost. I was also grateful for the cool towels from the driver to wipe my sweaty neck. Thanks to both of you, it became a memorable trip, and I am truly grateful. Thank you so much for everything.

前から行きたかった伏見稲荷大社さまにお詣りの際に添乗員さんから別のひとり参加の女性を紹介していただき一緒に行動してもらえて道に迷うことなくバスに戻れて運転手さんの冷たいおしぼりも汗だくの首筋を拭けて嬉しかったです。お二人のおかげさまで想い出に残る旅になり有り難く感謝しています。色々と本当にありがとうございました。
