All Reviews for Bus Tours

I was a bit hesitant about the early morning sightseeing, but it took a while to get to Iriomote Island, so I understood. Thanks to that, I was able to enjoy the mangrove sightseeing cruise, ride a water buffalo cart to Yubu Island, see the glass boat in Taketomi Island, search for star sand, and visit local houses. It was all very good.

朝早くからの観光にちょっと「えー」と想いましたが、西表島へ行くのに時間がかかり、納得(^^)、お陰様でマングローブの見学クルージングやら、水牛車に乗っての由布島への観光から、竹富島でのグラスボート、星の砂探し、民家見学と全てを見ることが出来て大変良かったです。

This was my and my daughter's first time in Okinawa. Based on experiences, we signed up for this tour.

We were picked up at our hotel and got on the bus. Suddenly, the bus started moving, and my daughter almost lost her balance, which was a bit dangerous... The weather was rainy, and I was worried about what was to come.

However!! Signing up for this tour was definitely the right choice★ We were able to efficiently visit the sightseeing spots, and above all, our guide, Mr. Karuma, was wonderful. He shared stories about Okinawa's history, sang songs with sign language, and presented paper plays and played the sanshin, among other things. The content was rich, and we didn't get bored during the travel time. Also, instead of constantly guiding us, there was even a nap time in between, which was comfortable.

It became the best memory of our trip to Okinawa. I would love to use this service again if I have the chance!!

私も娘も初めての沖縄。
体験談をもとにこちらのツアーに申し込みました。

ホテルまで迎えに来て頂き、バスに乗り込みます。
と、突然バスが動き出し、娘はよろけて危なかったです・・・
お天気も雨で、先行き不安でした。

が！！
このツアーに申し込んで大正解でした★
観光スポットを効率よく回ることができたし、何よりガイドの唐真さんが素敵でした。
沖縄の歴史についてのお話や、手話付きの歌、紙芝居、三線、などなど。
内容も盛りだくさんで、移動時間も飽きる事なく過ごせました。
また、ずっと案内ではなく、途中でお昼寝の時間？もあり、快適でした。

沖縄旅行で一番の思い出になりました。
また機会があれば利用したいです！！

It took about three days to get a response to my inquiry via email, and I was anxious every day. I think it would be resolved quickly over the phone, so please consider the customer's convenience as well.
The course was good and affordable, and the tour guide was kind. However, the hotel lunch felt like just a pre-prepared meal, which is understandable given the low price, but I left most of it. I think it would be better to have individual items that show more care, like delicious miso ramen or katsu don.

問い合わせしたらメールで３日ぐらいかかりました、毎日不安でした、電話なら直ぐにすむと思います、そちらだけでなく、客の都合も考えて下さい、
コースは良かったです、安いです、添乗員の方も優しいでした、ただホテルの昼ごはん安いから仕方ないですが出来合い並べただけにかんじました、ほとんど残しました、美味しい味噌ラーメンとかカツ丼誠意感じる単品の方が良いと思います。

I had always wanted to visit the famous power spot, Sefa Utaki, but it’s located in a place that’s difficult to reach without a car, so I was unsure of what to do. Then I found this tour. It was very reasonably priced, and I was able to take my time walking around Sefa Utaki. The guide's stories on the round-trip bus were also very interesting and educational, making for a fulfilling day.

パワースポットとして有名な斎場御嶽にずっと行ってみたいと思いつつ、車がないとなかなか自力だと行くのが難しい場所にあるので、どうしようか悩んでいたところ見つけたツアーでした。
とてもお手頃な値段で、じっくり斎場御嶽を歩いて見られたし、往復のバスでもガイドさんのお話がとても面白く勉強になり、充実の1日でした。

As soon as we boarded, the guide provided a thorough explanation, and I quickly absorbed knowledge about Okinawa. It was a great tour because we could efficiently visit various places!

乗車とともにガイドさんによる丁寧な説明がされ、す〜っと沖縄に関する知識が頭に入りました。効率よくあちこち回れるので、とてもいいツアーでした！

The tour was conducted with multilingual guidance, primarily through recorded messages on a receiver, without a live guide. I signed up without much expectation, but it was fully booked with many foreign participants, and the tour conductor joined us, making it easy to understand the meeting times.

We visited Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya, and had lunch at a hotel by Lake Toya, which was quite tasty. I thought the sightseeing content, including the ropeway fee, was a good value.

However, it was disappointing that even with a printed voucher, we had to stand in a long line at the "Regular Sightseeing Bus Center" to exchange it for a seat assignment ticket.

If the system doesn't improve, there is a high possibility that arriving at the meeting place on time won't guarantee making it to the bus departure. I recommend lining up at the "Regular Sightseeing Bus Center" a bit earlier.

多言語案内対応で、基本的に肉声のガイドはなく、テープに録音された多言語の案内をレシーバーで聞くタイプのツアーでした。
余り期待しないで申し込みしましたが、満席で外国人の参加が多く、添乗員さんも同乗したので、集合時間等はわかりやすかったです。

支笏湖・洞爺湖を周り、洞爺湖湖畔のホテルでランチでしたが、そこそこ美味しかったですし、観光の内容もロープーウェイの料金も込みでお値打ちだと思いました。
残念だったのは、バウチャーを印刷していっても、座席指定券と交換する為に長蛇の列の「定期観光バスセンター」に並ばなくてはならないこと。

もう少し、合理的にバウチャーを観光バスの乗務員が座席指定券と交換する等にしないと、座席交換に２０分位時間のロスがあります。
このシステムが改善しない場合、集合場所に集合時間に行ったのでは、バスの出発時間に間に合わない可能性が高いです。
早めに、「定期観光バスセンター」に並ぶことをおススメします。

I participated in the middle of a typhoon, but the rain eased up while sightseeing, and I was glad I could see everything. Thanks to the explanations and songs from the driver and guide, I was able to enjoy the tour efficiently. Thank you very much.

台風の真っただ中に参加しましたが、観光する時に雨が弱まり、すべて周れてよかったです。　運転士さんやガイドさんの説明や唄などのおかげで効率よく楽しくまわることが出来ました。ありがとうございました。

You can visit three tourist attractions in the southern region in half a day. The time spent at each location is short for thorough sightseeing, so it's recommended for those who prefer a compact tour.

南部の観光名所（３カ所）を半日で観光できます。１カ所ずつの滞在時間はじっくり観光するには短いので、コンパクトな観光をしたい方にオススメです。

I participated this New Year and had such a great time that this was my second participation. This time, our bus guide, Mr. Sunakawa, was very articulate and provided detailed explanations about Okinawa's history, culture, and geography. His way of speaking was pleasant to the ears, which made it even better.

At the Sefa Utaki, the bus guide took us inside and provided explanations. (I don't think this is done every time, as it wasn't the case during my last visit.) He explained the connections with Shuri Castle in detail, but due to my lack of knowledge, I couldn't fully understand it. So, I plan to study more about Okinawa's history before my next visit and want to come back to Sefa Utaki. It's a place where you can really feel its sacredness. The inside has mountain paths and sandy areas, so it's best to wear sneakers if possible. Women should definitely avoid high heels or mules. (Although there will be an explanatory video after entry, it would be too late to know then.)

At Okinawa World, you can wear traditional costumes and take photos (the costume fee is 500 yen, and you can buy the photos for 1,000 yen. You can also have your own digital camera or smartphone take pictures). You can also shop for Bingata dyeing. There are several traditional craft shops, so just watching the free Eisa performance for 15 to 20 minutes and browsing the shops will quickly make your stay last an hour.

I wish we had a bit more time at the Himeyuri Memorial Museum, but since it's a half-day tour designed for efficiency, it can't be helped. Still, I am very satisfied.

I arrived at the airport at 1 PM, had lunch, did some souvenir shopping, and returned on a flight at 4 PM, so I was able to spend the last day meaningfully. I would like to participate again when I visit next time. Thank you!

今年のお正月に参加し、とても楽しかったので、今回2回目の参加でした。
今回は砂川さんというバスガイドさんが話し上手で、
沖縄の歴史、文化、地理などを詳しく説明して下さり、
しかも話し方が耳に心地良く、とても良かったです。

斎場御嶽ではバスガイドさんが中まで案内してくださって説明もありました。
（前回はなかったので毎回ではないと思います）
首里城との繋がりなども詳しく教えて頂いたのですが
私の勉強不足でよく理解できなかったので、次回来島までに沖縄の歴史をもっと勉強して
斎場御嶽に来たいと思います。
神聖な場所だということがよくわかる場所です。
中は山道、砂地なので、靴はできればスニーカーがいいです。
女性はハイヒールやミュールは絶対にやめたほうがいいです。
（入場後に館内説明ビデオで流れますが、そこで知っても遅いので）

おきなわワールドでは伝統衣装を着て写真を撮ったり
（衣装代５００円、撮ってもらった写真は１，０００円で買えます。
自分のデジカメやスマホでも撮ってもらえます。）
紅型染めの買い物などもできます。
伝統工芸のお店などがいくつかあるので
無料エイサーを１５～２０分見て、お店などを見ているだけで
滞在時間1時間はすぐに経ってしまいます。

ひめゆり記念館での時間はもう少しあったらいいなと思いますが
半日で効率良く回るツアーなので仕方ないですね。
それでも大変満足しています。

13時時に空港に着き、昼食を食べ、お土産の買い物をして
16時発の飛行機で帰りましたので、最終日を有意義に過ごせました。
また来島する時も参加したいです。
ありがとうございました！

Each stop was well-timed, and the guide provided clear explanations. Although the weather turned bad at Kabira Bay, the colors were still beautiful. We also took a ride on the glass-bottom boat, which I highly recommend. For lunch, there were two hearty hamburger patties, making for a filling meal. We got off at the airport since we were heading straight to Naha. I'm glad I participated in this tour.

それぞれ程よく時間をとられていて、ガイドさんも、しっかり分かりやすく説明してくれます。
川平湾はピンポイントで天気が悪くなりましたが、それでもキレイな色でした。グラスボードにも乗りましたが、かなりオススメです。
昼食はおかずのハンバーグが２個ありボリュームがありました。
自分達は、そのまま那覇に向かうので空港で降りました。
このツアーに参加したして良かったと思います。

When I saw it on a television information program, it looked very interesting, so I decided to participate at the last minute. The weather was nice on the day of the event, and the winter breeze was not too cold, creating a comfortable environment. Almost everyone besides me were foreign travelers. The second floor had a great view, allowing us to see Tokyo's famous landmarks from perspectives that are usually not accessible.

テレビの情報番組で見たときに、大変面白そうだったので急きょ参加することにしました。当日は天気も良く、真冬の風も寒すぎず快適な環境でした。
私以外はほとんど外国人旅行者の方たちでした。２階部分は見晴らしも良く通常では見ることのできない視点で東京の名所を見て回ることができました。

I used this service on the last day of my trip to Okinawa. The guide was excellent. They shared a lot about Okinawa's culture and history during the bus ride, and provided explanations at places like the Sefa Utaki and the Himeyuri Monument, highlighting things we might have missed if we had gone on our own. At the beach, we received a discount coupon for a glass-bottom boat, so we decided to try it, but I ended up getting seasick and slept like a log on the way to the Himeyuri Monument. To visit so many places with a guide for just 1,000 yen is incredibly cheap! I highly recommend it. When I go to Okinawa again, I would like to participate in the Okinawa World tour. Thank you so much to the guide!

沖縄旅行最終日に利用しました。
ガイドさんがとてもよかったです。
バスの中で沖縄の文化や歴史についていろいろお話してくださったり、斎場御嶽やひめゆりの塔で見どころなど解説をしてくださったりして、自分たちだけで行ったら見逃してしまいそうなことも教えてくださいました。
ビーチではグラスボートの割引き券をいただいたので乗ってみましたが、船酔いしてしまい、ひめゆりの塔までの道中は爆睡でした^^;
こんなにたくさんの場所に行けてガイド付きで千円なんて、安すぎる！！
本当におすすめです。
また沖縄に行くときはおきなわワールドのほうに参加したいです。
ガイドさん本当にありがとうございました。

This was my first trip to Okinawa, and I traveled with my parents and my child, making it a three-generation trip with four people. I really wanted to visit the "Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium" and "Kouri Island," and although I thought the time was a bit short, it was just right for traveling with elderly family members. There were also places to stop and buy souvenirs, which made me very satisfied. The smiles of the guide and the driver were very natural, and I felt that this is the kind of warmth that the people of Okinawa have.

Our bus guide was a woman named Touma, and she was a wonderful guide who explained things clearly. At the photo points, she would say, "Just a little more," to let us know when to get our cameras ready, and she was considerate enough to hide in front so as not to be in the way. Additionally, she included some interesting stories about the military bases that tourists from the mainland might want to hear but wouldn't usually ask about, making the guided tour on the highway very engaging.

I believe the good weather also contributed, but it was a very memorable bus trip in Okinawa.

初めての沖縄旅行、私の両親と子供の３世代４人で利用させていただきました。
絶対はずしたくなかった「美ら海水族館」「古宇利島」の観光、ちょっと時間が短いなと思いましたが、高齢の年寄と一緒の旅にはちょうど良かったです。お土産も買える立ち寄り所もあり、大満足でした。ガイドさんや運転手さんの笑顔もとても自然で、沖縄の方々はこんな人柄なんだと気持ちよくなりました。
とうまさんという女性バスガイドさんでしたが、話も分かりやすく、とても素敵なガイドさんでした。フォトポイントでは「もう少しです」とカメラの準備を教えてくれたり、邪魔にならないように前方に隠れていたりと気配りがよかったです。また、本土からの観光客にとっては、聞きたいけれども聞けない基地の話もちょっと盛り込んでくれていたりと、高速道路での着席ガイドも大変興味深く聞くことができました。
天気が良かったのもあると思いますが、とても思い出に残る沖縄バスの旅でした。

Although the distance is short, I think this course, which allows you to visit three locations in the southern part of the main island for just 1,000 yen with the last-minute discount, offers great value for money. If you're a traveler with a flight after 2 PM, I recommend it for those looking to make some final memories on that day!

距離は短いながら、直前割の1000円で、本島南部3ヵ所も回れるこのコースは、大変コスパに優れていると思います。午後2時過ぎ以降のフライトの旅行者なら、その日に一回りして最後の思い出を作ろうという方にはオススメです！

I participated at 2 PM, the hottest time of the day. I regretted getting on the duck boat without air conditioning in the scorching heat, but I managed to cope with the breeze while running through the city. The explanations were enjoyable, and while blowing the duck boat's "gaa" whistle we received, the hour and a half flew by in no time.

一番暑い14時に参加しました。猛暑の中、クーラーもないダックちゃんに乗ったときは後悔しましたが、街中を走る際の風で何とかしのげました。
説明も楽しく、頂いたダックちゃんのがーという笛をふきながら、あっという間の1時間半でした。

This was my seventh visit to Taketomi Island, but it was my first time visiting in August. It was very hot and humid, as it was just three days after a large typhoon, but the weather was clear with almost no clouds. It was too hot for cycling, but the color of the sea changed into various shades of blue under the sunlight, and it was incredibly beautiful. I have used rental bicycles many times in the past, but at this time, the rental shop (Maruhachi) provided a unique map that was very helpful for sightseeing around the island. Next time I visit Ishigaki Island (Taketomi Island), I would like to use their services again.

竹富島には、７回目の訪問となったが、今回初めて８月に訪れました。３日前に大型台風が来た後だったので、湿度も高く、大変暑かったが、天気は、雲がほとんどなく晴天でした。サイクリングには、暑すぎましたが、今までになく海の色が太陽の日差しを受けて様々な青色に変化し、大変綺麗でした。又、過去何度となくレンタサイクルを利用していますが、今回のレンタサイクル屋（丸八）さんでは、独自の地図も戴き、島内観光するには、大変役立ちました。次回、石垣島（竹富島）などに行き時は、利用したいと思います。

I joined this tour because renting a car alone felt lonely. With about 20 people on a large bus, I was able to enjoy the places I wanted to visit: Lake Shikotsu, Lake Toya, and Mount Usu. While the foreign guests only received guidance through earphones, our tour guide provided explanations in Japanese, which helped me understand a bit more about Hokkaido.

ひとりでレンタカーも寂しいので、このツアーに参加しました。
20数名で大型バスで、訪れたかった支笏湖、洞爺湖、有珠山を楽しめました。
外国の方々はイヤホンでの案内のみですが、添乗員さんが日本語で観光案内もしてくださったので、北海道のことも少し理解が進みました。

It is a very good and easy way to known Tokyo, especially for those who visit this city for first time. We had the opportunity to visit important landmarks. Take advantage to book two days because there is a lot to see. We recommend this tour.

The bus guide sang, danced, told stories with picture cards, and shared interesting trivia, making it a fun and packed experience. The sea at Kouri Island was truly beautiful, and I took a lot of photos. It was a bit disappointing that it was windy and cloudy. I wish I had a little more time.

The Churaumi Aquarium was really crowded, and I didn't have enough time at all. I would have liked to take a bit more time to explore. An extra hour or two would have been nice. The dolphin show and the free photo opportunities were enjoyable!

At Ryukyu Village, we all danced the Eisa together during the event! I was satisfied to learn so much about Okinawa in just one day.

バスガイドさんが歌ったり、踊ったり、紙芝居を話したり、豆知識を教わったり盛り沢山でおもしろかったです。
古宇利島の海は本当にきれいで、写真たくさん撮りました。風が強かったのと曇っていたのが少し残念でした。また時間をもう少しあったらよかったです。
美ら海水族館はすごい混んでいて時間が全然足りなかったです。もう少しゆっくり見たかったです。あと1、2時間くらい多ければよかったかな。イルカショーや無料で写真取ってくれるなどあり、楽しかったです！
琉球村はイベントでエイサーをみんなで踊りました！
たった１日で沖縄がたくさん知れて満足です。

It was a tour that took us to all the places we wanted to visit in the northern part of Okinawa Island. Every location had something moving about it, and I truly felt it was worth participating. I was surprised when the guide changed clothes and sang and danced, so I couldn't help but record a video. I was able to hear various stories during the ride, and I was touched by their efforts. However, if you want to see the dolphin show at the aquarium or events at Ryukyu Village, I recommend going individually as there isn't enough time. I think it's the best plan in terms of cost for those who want to efficiently visit many places.

沖縄本島の北部で行きたい場所を全部連れて行ってくれたツアーでした。すべての場所で感動できるモノがあり参加して本当に良かったと思います。ガイドさんが着替えて歌って踊っていたのにはびっくりで思わずビデオを回しました。車内で色々な話が聞けて、頑張りに感動しました。ただ、もし水族館でイルカショーを見たいとか、琉球村でイベントを見たい方には時間がないので、個人で行くことをお勧めします。沢山の場所を効率良く回りたい方には金額的にも最高のプランだと思います。

It was a nice tour, we spend some good time (even if it was a bit of a rush) in a restaurant on the beach and visited the really beautiful Sefa-Utaki. Being non fluent Japanese speaker, the Himeyuri memorial wasn't very interesting for us, but we spent some time shopping in the shop near the memorial. The guide was very nice and agreeable.

First, I visited Sefa Utaki, then Okinawa World, and finally the Himeyuri Monument. It was great that I could efficiently visit each place since they are quite far apart. Please note that there are separate entrance fees. In particular, since the time at Okinawa World is limited, it's better to think carefully about purchasing your tickets. Even just the free shows can help pass the time.

最初に斎場御嶽観光し、おきなわワールド、
最後にひめゆりの塔を観光しました。
それぞれ距離があるので、効率良く回れるのが良かったです。
入場料が別途にかかりますので注意してください。
とくに、おきなわワールドは、時間が短いので、
よく考えて入場券の購入した方が良いです。
無料のショーだけでも、時間がつぶせます。

I wanted to go to the Churaumi Aquarium, but it was difficult to access, so this tour was a great help. Additionally, there were sightseeing spots like Kouri Ohashi and Ryukyu Village, making it quite packed with activities. It was discounted during the campaign period, so I think it's a very good deal.

美ら海水族館に行きたかったのですが、
アクセスしにくいので、このツアーは助かりました。
その他、古宇利大橋、琉球村などの観光もあり、
盛りだくさんです。
キャンペーン期間で割引でしたし、
たいへんお得なツアーだと思います。

I was satisfied because the flight timing was perfect and I could make effective use of my time. The guide's introduction and guidance were also good, so I think it's better than sightseeing alone. I recommend it to everyone. However, I think the sightseeing time at the Himeyuri Tower was a bit short.

フライト時間にぴったり、時間有効活用できるので満足しました。ガイドさんのご紹介ご案内も良かったので一人観光するよりいいと思います。皆んなにオススメします。
ただ最後のひめゆりの塔の観光時間は多少短いと思います。

You can efficiently enjoy all three islands!
It can be challenging to arrange everything yourself, but we were able to fully enjoy the mangroves, water buffalo carts, and rental bicycles.
The rental bicycles were great, even though it was very hot, as we could explore wherever we wanted, and it was nice to have the option to choose our return ferry time.

3つの島を効率良く満喫できます！
自分達で手配をすると大変ですが、マングローブや水牛車、レンタルサイクルと全てを満喫することが出来ました。
レンタルサイクルは、非常に暑かったですが好きなところを回ることができ、帰りのフェリーの時間も選択できるので良かったです。

I participated in the water buffalo cart and rental bicycle plan on August 2nd! I was able to fully appreciate the charm of Taketomi Island, and after the water buffalo cart ride, I enjoyed cycling around the island without any time restrictions. I definitely want to participate again. Thank you very much! ^_^

8月2日に水牛車&レンタサイクルのプランで参加させていただきました！竹富島の魅力を十分感じることができ、また水牛車あとのレンタサイクルでゎ時間制限なく心置きなく竹富島を満喫することができました！是非また参加したいです。ありがとうございました^_^

I have very little experience with bus tours, but thanks to the two guides, I was able to see the charm of Naha. Thank you! I would like to recommend this tour to my friends! Highly recommended!

以前バスツアー体験はほとんどないですが 今度はお二人のガイドさんのお蔭て 私は那覇の魅力を見ました ありがとうございました ！ このツアー友達におすすめしたいと思います！大進めです！

Everything is so nice, including seeing 3 shark whale at the same tank...which is an amazing experience. The only complain that we have is the roundtrip bus takes too long and the actual sightseeing is a bit too short

The day before, I participated in a hard tour from early morning until evening, so I chose a leisurely departure time for Taketomi Island. A pickup from the hotel arrived at 10 AM. The bus driver shared various interesting stories about Ishigaki during the ride to the ferry terminal. After arriving at the ferry terminal, I was very satisfied with the attentive service, as they informed me about the return boat schedule that connected well with the hotel shuttle. On Taketomi, my fourth-grade son was even more delighted with the water buffalo cart than I had expected. Water buffaloes are really smart! After that, we rented bicycles to collect star sand and stroll through the town. The weather was very favorable and hot, but we had a great time.

前日、朝早くから夕方までのハードめのツアーに参加していたので、竹富島へは朝のんびり出発できる時間を選択。10時にホテルにお迎えが来てくれました。バスの運転手さんが離島ターミナルまでの間、石垣の興味津々な色々なお話しをして下さいました＾＾離島ターミナルに着いてからも、ホテル送迎のバスに乗り継ぎの良い帰りの船の時間を教えて下さったり細やかなサービスに大満足でした。竹富では水牛車は思っていた以上に小4の息子が喜びました。水牛って本当に賢いんですね！その後はレンタルサイクルで星砂を集めに行ったり街並みを散策したり。非常に天気に恵まれ暑かったですが楽しかったです。

I heard a wide range of stories about Okinawa, and we sang and danced, making the time on the bus enjoyable and never boring. The tour guide was always smiling and very wonderful. I regret forgetting to ask for their name.

沖縄に関して幅広い話しを聞かせて頂き、
唄も踊りもされて、退屈ないようにバス内の時間を過ごしました。ずっと笑顔でとても素敵な添乗員さんでした。お名前を聞き忘れて残念でした。
