Japan
I finally rode the bright red double-decker bus that I've been curious about while walking around Ginza!
It's Japan's first open-top double-decker bus, the Sky Bus, on the Omotesando and Shibuya route.
I got to see the scenery that I usually pass by on foot or while riding the train from the height of the expressway and pedestrian bridges.
Fortunately, it was a sunny day, and I enjoyed the refreshing breeze while sightseeing from the bus, feeling like a foreign tourist.
Starting from Marunouchi, we passed by the red brick Tokyo Station, the Imperial Theatre, and around the Imperial Palace. We also saw the National Diet Building, the State Guest House, Gakushuin Primary School, and the Akasaka Palace, which I visited on a school trip.
We went by Sakurada Gate, Jingu Gaien, the Metropolitan Police Department, the Prime Minister's Official Residence, Toyokawa Inari, and Hie Shrine, which is the only shrine in Japan with an escalator. The reason why the windows of the Honda headquarters building are recessed is also interesting.
From the most famous scramble crossing in Japan to 109, Omotesando Hills, AO, the United Nations University, and the closed Children's Castle... even places I usually pass by revealed different discoveries when viewed from the Sky Bus.
普段、銀座界隈を歩いていて気になっていた真っ赤な二階建てバス。
初めて乗って来ました!
日本初のオープン二階建てバス、スカイバスで表参道・渋谷コース。
いつもは歩いて通るか電車に乗って眺めている景色を、首都高や歩道橋スレスレの高さから観てきました。
運良く晴れて爽やかな風を受けながらの車上観光で、外国人観光客気分。
丸の内から出発して、赤煉瓦の東京駅、帝国劇場前を通り皇居周辺。
社会科見学で行った国会議事堂、迎賓館に学習院初等科と赤坂御所。
桜田門や神宮外苑、警視庁、首相官邸に豊川稲荷、日本で唯一エスカレーターが敷設されている日枝神社。
ホンダ本社ビルの窓ガラスが奥まっている理由も面白い。
日本一有名なスクランブル交差点に109、表参道ヒルズやAO、国連大学に閉館したこどもの城…普段通るところも、スカイバスから観ると、また違った発見があるのでした(^ー^*)
It was his birthday, so even though I live in Tokyo, I participated to experience an atmosphere I usually can't! It was even more fun than I expected, and I truly enjoyed the views of Tokyo that I don't usually see. The night view of Odaiba was especially romantic! I definitely want to participate again! It was a lot of fun!!!
彼の誕生日だったので東京在住ですが、普段味わえない雰囲気を!とゆうことで参加しました(^^)
思った以上に楽しくていつも見られない東京の景色が堪能できて本当によかったです(^^)特に夜のお台場はロマンチックでした!!これはまた参加したい!楽しかったです(^^)!!!
I used it on the day I was leaving. They take you to the airport, and you can leave your luggage on the bus, so it was nice to be able to sightsee hands-free. Plus, they took us to three places for just 1,400 yen! It's incredibly cheap. Highly recommended!
帰る日に利用しました。
空港まで送ってもらえるし、荷物はバスに預けておけるので手ぶらで観光が出来て楽でした。
しかも三ヵ所回ってくれて1400円!安過ぎます。
超オススメです。
As a beginner in island tourism, I was glad to be able to visit many islands in a short amount of time. Although I struggled to pass the time due to the long stay on Yufu Island, the conversations and performances from the bus and water buffalo cart guides were enjoyable, and I had a great day.
離島観光の初心者だったので、短時間で沢山の島を観光出来て良かったです。
由布島での滞在時間が長すぎて時間を潰すのに苦労しましたが、バスや水牛車のガイドさんのお喋りや演奏も楽しく、良い1日を過ごせました。
It was the course as described. I had made a reservation for another day, but I decided to go two days prior and went to the counter at the remote island terminal. They smoothly changed my reservation. I had only planned to use the water buffalo cart, but I was able to rent a bicycle for just a few hundred yen more, which expanded my range of activities, and I had a great time.
記載通りのコースでした。別日に予約していたのですが、2日前に行こうと思い、離島ターミナルのカウンターへ行きました。予約の変更もスムーズにして頂けました。水牛車のみを予定としておりましたが、レンタサイクルも+数百円程度で利用出来たため、活動範囲も広がり、とても楽しむことができました。
The weather was unfortunate, but I was able to borrow an umbrella when getting off. Above all, the lunch was delicious! My husband was very satisfied with both the portion size and the taste! I shared with the kids, and I still felt full. It seems that the mozuku seaweed and Okinawa soba became my husband's favorites (laughs). Thanks to our guide's experienced guidance, the half day flew by—I’m really glad I participated! ♪
あいにくの天気でしたが下車の際には傘もかしていただけました
何よりランチがおいしい!主人もボリュームと味に大満足していました!私は子供とシェアしたのですがそれでもお腹いっぱいになりました。もずくと沖縄そばが主人のイチオシになったようです(笑)
ガイドさんのベテラン案内で半日があっという間でしたー、本当に参加して大満足です♪
When we departed from Ishigaki Island, we arrived at the ferry terminal too early, but thanks to being able to board an earlier boat (departing at 8:40), we were able to enjoy sightseeing at a leisurely pace. A bus was waiting at the port, and we arrived at the water buffalo cart boarding area in about five minutes. I was impressed by the intelligence of the water buffalo. I was amazed by how the boatman controlled their speed and maneuvered considering the turning radius. After that, we rented bicycles and first climbed the Nago-mi Tower, which seemed like it would get crowded, and then headed to Nishi Sanchō. After enjoying the picturesque beautiful sea, we had an early lunch to avoid the crowds. Since it gets hot during the day, I think it's best to act early. We returned to Ishigaki Island around 13:30, and we were able to fully enjoy our time.
石垣島から出発時、離島ターミナルに早く着きすぎましたが、一本早い船に乗船できたおかげ(8:40発)でゆっくり観光が出来ました。すぐ港にバスが待機しており、5分ほどで水牛車乗り場に到着しました。感動したのは水牛の賢さ。船頭さんの声かけでスピード、内輪差を考えてのコントロール等にびっくり。そのあとレンタル自転車を借りて、まずは混雑しそうななごみの塔に登り、街並みを眺めながら西桟橋へ。絵に描いたような美しい海を眺めた後、混雑を考慮して早めのランチ。日中は暑くなるので、とにかく早めの行動がいいと思います。13:30位に石垣島へ戻りましたが、充分堪能できました。
The three-island tour felt a bit rushed at first, but I was able to take my time and it was really enjoyable. I highly recommend this course.
3島めぐりは少し慌ただしいかなと思ったけれど、ゆっくり見ることができたとっても楽しかったです。オススメのコースです。
I recommend this for those who want to make efficient use of their time and for those who are visiting the islands for the first time, as it includes lunch. The mangrove cruise in Iriomote Island, the sightseeing on Yufu Island via water buffalo cart, and I chose the water buffalo cart on Taketomi Island, all of which were incredibly fun. I was particularly moved by the mangrove cruise.
効率良くまわれて、お昼のお弁当も付いてるので、時間を有効活用したい人や離島巡りが初めての人にはお勧めです。西表島のマングローブクルーズ、水牛車で渡る由布島観光、竹富島では水牛車を選択しましたが、どれもすごく楽しかったです。特にマングローブクルーズは感動しました。
The Omotesando and Shibuya course is more about seeing the people who live in present-day Tokyo than visiting famous landmarks and historical sites.
The starting point in front of the Mitsubishi Building is in Marunouchi, Tokyo's office district, where you can see people going about their work. The bus departs while heading towards Kasumigaseki, passing by Tokyo Station. Kasumigaseki is Japan's government district, where you can see the National Diet Building and various ministry buildings. Next to it is the Imperial Palace. As we head towards Omotesando, we can see the moat of the Imperial Palace. Omotesando and Aoyama are where Tokyo's fashionable people gather. By this time, the people passing by have changed from suits to stylish, trendy clothes. Since it's a bus without a ceiling, you can also smell delicious food in the air.
We pass through the Shibuya Scramble Crossing, where you can see Tokyoites skillfully navigating the streets. This is the turnaround point, and we head back to Tokyo Station. The rows of trees near the State Guest House and glimpses of Tokyo Tower between the buildings excite us passengers. The bus passes by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism building and returns to Marunouchi.
The small trip of about an hour and a half of Tokyo people-watching comes to an end.
表参道、渋谷コースは東京の名所、旧跡を訪ねと言うより、今の東京の住んでいる人々を見るコース。
出発点の三菱ビル前は東京のオフィス街、丸の内。働く人々が行きかうところが見る事が出来ます。バスは東京駅横に見ながら霞が関の方向に向かい出発していきます。霞が関は日本の官庁街、国会議事堂、各省庁の建物を見て進んで行きます。その横は皇居。皇居のお堀を見ながら、表参道方向へ。東京のおしゃれな人たちが集まる表参道、青山と進んで行きます。この頃になると通行する人達はスーツ姿からおしゃれな流行の洋服に変って行きます。天井のないバスなので、この当たりは美味しそうな匂いもしてきます。そして渋谷のスクランブル交差点を通り、東京の人が器用に右往左往に道路を渡る姿を目にする事が出来ます。ここから折り返し地点。また、東京駅へと戻ってきます。迎賓館の並木、ビルの隙間隙間から見る東京タワーが乗客の私たちをわくわくさせてくれます。バスは国交省のビルを横目に見て、丸の内に戻ってきます。
約1時間半の東京人ウオッチングの小旅行の旅が終わります。
I often use Hop-on-Hop-off buses when traveling abroad, but I didn't know they were available in Japan. This time, I took all three routes to enjoy cherry blossom viewing. I was a bit worried that traffic jams might disrupt the bus schedule, but I was amazed at how accurate it was. I would love to ride again in a different season.
海外旅行時には現地でHop-on-Hop-offのバスをよく利用しますが、日本でもあるなんて知りませんでした。今回は桜見物を目的に3ルート全て乗りました。車の渋滞があったりしてバスのスケジュールが狂わないかなとおもいましたが、ま~~正確でおどろきました。また違う季節に乗りたいです。
After exchanging the voucher for tickets at the meeting point near Marunouchi Building, we boarded. Since the seats are assigned in advance, it's a bit reassuring even for solo travelers. (As we move clockwise towards our destination, sitting on the right side (side D) feels like a bit of an advantage.)
Once we started moving, there was a chorus of cheers from the passengers. The wind feels great! The traffic lights are close! It's oddly delightful to see people waving from the roadside! That refreshing feeling is something you rarely find elsewhere. Honestly, I didn't expect an open-top bus to be this enjoyable.
A guide accompanied the tour, providing commentary from the back of the seats with a microphone. The information about dessert shops while passing through Omotesando and Shibuya was particularly detailed (though we couldn't get off).
Tokyo Station, Kasumigaseki, Omotesando, Shibuya... places that aren't particularly rare for those living in Tokyo look so sparkling from a high vantage point without a roof! It was a tour filled with new discoveries. I want to invite someone and go again soon, without waiting for another opportunity.
丸ビル近くの集合場所でバウチャーをチケットと交換してもらってから搭乗。あらかじめ座席指定がされているので、一人参加でもちょっと安心です。
(目的地を時計回りに進むので、進行方向右側の座席(D側)の方がちょっとおトクな気はします)
走り始めたら、一斉にお客さんから歓声が。
風が気持ちいい!信号機が近い!沿道から手を振ってくれる人がいて妙にうれしい!
あの爽快感はなかなか他では見当たらない種類のものです。正直、オープントップバスがこんなにイイものとは思ってませんでした。
ツアーにはガイドさんが一人添乗し、座席後方からマイクで案内。特に表参道・渋谷を通り抜ける際のスイーツ店情報はかなり力が入ってました(降りられるわけではないですが)。
東京駅・霞ヶ関・表参道・渋谷…と、東京に住んでいれば特に珍しくもない場所が、屋根のない高い視点から風を受けながら眺めると、これほどまでにキラキラして見えるのか!?と新しい発見に満ちたツアーでした。
機会があればと言わず、ぜひ誰かを誘って近いうちにまた乗りに行きたいです。
It was great to be able to efficiently get around and finally drop off at the airport. The downside is that the time to sightsee at each spot was too short. I wanted to take a closer look.
効率的に回れて、最後は空港でバスを降りれるのはとても良かったです。それそれのスポットで観光できる時間が少なすぎるのが難点です。もっとゆっくり見たかったです。
My Japanese language skills are limited, so having the English audio available was great. The tour guide was friendly and very good. I enjoyed the bus tour immensely. I had an easy time finding the pick up location and was dropped off where I could get back to my hotel without getting lost. I didn't realize that Expo Land was a huge theme park until we got there. My goal, however, was to spend time at the Churaumi Aquarium and I was able to do just that. Along the way, we stopped at a few sights, including a Butterfly Museum, Pineapple Park, and Ryukyu Glass Factory. All in all, I had a great time.
Overall, it was very good.
It's a pity that the visiting time at each tourist spot was short.
I think it would have been better to extend the return time and allow more time at each location.
But I had a fun day. Thank you very much.
全体的に非常に良かったです。
各観光地の見学時間が短いのが残念です。
帰りの時間を遅くして、各所の時間を多くしたら 良かったかな
でも 楽しい1日がすごせました。有難うございます。
It was really convenient to be picked up at the hotel where I was staying. The tour was compact, but I was able to thoroughly explore the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium in three hours. I also had time to enjoy the Dolphin Show.
Unfortunately, the lunch (or snack?) was quite light. The taste wasn't bad, but it was really minimal! You should think of it more as a light snack.
Additionally, there were some foreign participants (maybe from China) who tended to be late for the meeting time. Perhaps it's a cultural thing. In the end, our return was delayed by more than 30 minutes. It's something to be cautious about.
宿泊していたホテルでピックアップしてもらえるので本当に便利でした。
コンパクトにまとまっていますが、美ら海水族館も3時間でたっぷり見学できました。オキちゃん劇場もゆっくり見ることができました。
残念なのは昼食(軽食?)です。味は悪くありませんが、本当に軽いです!ちょっとおやつ程度と思った方がいいです。
それから、外国の方(中国人かな)が参加していたのですが、集合時間に遅れがちです。お国柄でしょうか。結局帰着予定が30分以上延びてしまいました。要注意です。
We went with my wife, our 5-year-old son, and our 10-month-old second son. First, we arrived at the port and checked in, where we received tickets with our tour number. After that, we boarded a boat heading to Iriomote Island, and upon arrival, we quickly transferred to a smaller boat to see the mangroves. It's something you can't see often in Japan, so I thought it was great. However, at that time, my eldest son said, "It's not interesting just looking at trees." That's true for kids...
After that, we took a water buffalo cart to Yufu Island for lunch, then returned to Iriomote Island and headed to Taketomi Island. On Taketomi Island, we visited a beach with star sand. The kids were thrilled and collected sand.
Afterward, we returned to the port for the glass-bottom boat. Although it was a short time, the boat rocked quite a bit, so some people might need to take measures against seasickness.
This is the flow of the tour, but there was no tour guide. Several travel companies collaborated to run the tour, and we were called by our tour number by staff at various locations. Additionally, we ended up acting together with a group from a major travel company at times.
The biggest issue was that there was hardly any free time, so there was no opportunity to change my younger son's diaper. I recommend this tour for those who want to see the highlights of this area, but if you're participating with small children, it might be burdensome or boring for them.
妻と5歳の長男、10ヶ月の次男の4人で行きました。
まず港について受付をすると、ツアー番号が書かれたチケットを渡されます。
その後船に乗ってまず西表島に向かい、到着後直ぐに小型の船に乗り換えマングローブを観ます。国内ではなかなか見ることができないので、これは良いと思います。ただ、この時長男が「木ばっかり見ていても面白くない」といっていました。確かに子供にとってはそうですね・・・。
その後水牛車で由布島に渡り昼食→西表島に戻り竹富島へ。
竹富島では星の砂があるビーチに行きました。子供は大喜びで砂を集めていました。
その後港に戻りグラスボートへ。短時間ですが、揺れが大きいため人によっては船酔い対策が必要です。
以上がツアーの流れになりますが、添乗員はいません。複数の観光会社が共同で催行しており、その場所場所で係員にツアー番号で呼ばれます。また、部分的に大手旅行会社の団体と一緒に行動することになります。
この中で一番問題となったのは、自由時間が殆どないため、次男のおむつを替えるタイミングがなかったことです。
このエリアの見どころを纏めて回りたい方にはお勧めです、子供連れで参加する場合、小さい子程負担若しくは退屈することになるかもしれません。
Considering the time allocated, I knew it would be somewhat hectic, but the travel time to the meeting point felt shorter than expected.
Especially at Okinawa World, there was a choice between experiencing the Eisa dance or the limestone caves, and I was a bit disappointed that the time distribution didn’t allow for both.
That said, I was very satisfied with the trip without a rental car, as I was able to enjoy sightseeing in the southern part of the island, even though I initially planned to stay only in Naha City. It was great to see the coastline and the typical Okinawan scenery along the way.
Since I participated in April for 1,400 yen, I’m deducting one star due to my disappointment.
時間の割には内容が盛りだくさんなので、多少慌ただしいのは承知でしたが、
集合場所までの所要時間を考えると、予想以上に短く感じました。
特におきなわワールドでは、エイサーか鍾乳洞かの選択が必要な滞在時間。
両方可能な時間配分だったら、もっと楽しめたのにと少し残念でした。
とはいえレンタカーなしの旅、那覇市内だけの予定が、南部観光もできて大満足。
道中では海岸線や沖縄らしい風景も見ることができて良かったです。
4月参加で1400円だったので、がっかりした分☆ひとつマイナスです。
As the title suggests, you can enjoy sightseeing on Taketomi Island at your own pace. In the morning, you will be picked up at your hotel and receive your tickets, and since the return ferry times are flexible, you can explore the island almost at your leisure. There are some ups and downs, but I recommend biking. It seems that electric bikes are also available for an additional fee.
タイトル通り好きな時間に竹富島観光ができます。朝、ホテルに迎えに来ていただき、チケットをもらえば帰りの船の時刻は自由なので、ほぼマイペースで島内を観光できます。アップダウンが少しあるけど、自転車おすすめです。追加料金で電動もあるみたい。
I 'm remiss in posting this review. My daughter and I took this trip last year. We traveled from Boston to Tokyo and were thrilled that the cherry blossoms were in bloom. We only had three days in Tokyo before heading to Kyoto so this tour was fantastic. We hit all the high points. We started by going to Tokyo Tower. The views were awesome and we were lucky to be able to see Mt. Fuji. We had a tour of the city, a visit to the royal palace, several shrines, a park, lunch and a boat ride. I found the prices very reasonable for all we got and the lunch was terrific as well. Our guide was very knowledgeable and was happy to answer questions. The day was rainy and cold but the spirit of all was very bright. We were lucky that it warmed up and we were able to return on our own to some of the spots we saw. I looked at several tour companies before I left and this was the best. I have recommended this company to my boss when she went to Paris and she was happy with her tours as well. I will be using this company next year when I visit Italy.
I applied urgently because the points will no longer be available in March.
The night view of Tokyo was wonderful!
If there's another opportunity, I want to go with everyone and have a great time!
ポイントが3月出なくなるので急きょ申し込みました。
夜の東京は素敵でしたよ
又機会が会ったらみんなでワイワイ行ってみたーい
I had previously taken the hop-on bus from this company, but I had always wanted to ride it without getting off at any stops. I boarded on a sunny afternoon when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, so there was no glare from the west sun, allowing me to enjoy various beautiful views. It's amazing to be so close to the cherry trees around the Imperial Palace, but personally, I found it thrilling and exciting to see the scenery of people having hanami in the National Diet front garden and to pass under the 3.6-meter guard at Sukiyabashi. Riding through Ginza's Chuo-dori on a double-decker open-top bus was incredibly fun.
この会社のホップオンバスは乗ったことがありましたが、途中下車のない方も一度乗ってみたいと思っていました。ちょうど桜が満開の晴天のお昼に乗車したので、西日もなくきれいに色んな景色が楽しめました。皇居周辺の桜の木が間近なのも凄いですが、個人的には国会前庭で花見をしている風景と、数寄屋橋の3.6メートルのガードをくぐるのがスリリングでエキサイティングでした。銀座の中央通りを2階建てオープントップバスで通るのは凄く楽しかったです。
Cycling in the early summer weather was incredibly refreshing! Since I don't usually ride a bike, just being on one felt new and enjoyable. With free time, I was able to spend my day freely. I was a bit concerned about the tour voucher being hard to read and the bike brakes being a bit weak, but overall, I was very satisfied with my experience on Taketomi Island.
初夏の陽気の中のサイクリングは最高に気持ちよかった!
普段自転車に乗らないので、自転車に乗ること自体が新鮮でよかった。
時間もフリーなので、自由に過ごせてよい。
ツアー参加のバウチャーが見づらいところと、自転車のブレーキが甘かったのが少し気になったが、大変満足のいく竹富島となった。
You can explore the southern part of Okinawa from morning until noon. It's especially perfect for those who don't have much time. For those returning after lunch, you can also get dropped off at the airport, making it very convenient.
The only downside is that since this course covers so many places, the time spent at each location is short. Therefore, it may not be suitable for those who want to take their time exploring. In fact, I ended up revisiting the Peace Memorial Park the next day.
Also, it seems I had a great guide, as I was accompanied by an experienced one.
朝から昼までで、沖縄南部を見て回れる。特に時間の無い人にとってうってつけ。昼以降に帰る人も空港下車可能なので、使い勝手がいい。
唯一、これだけのコースを周るので、1か所毎の時間が短い。なので、じっくり見て周る人には不向きか。実際私は翌日にひめゆりの塔をリベンジした。
あと、ガイドさんが当たりだったみたいで、ベテランさんが付いていた。
I used the service from March 20 to 21.
I felt a thrill when passing just under the bridge supports, near the highway entrances, and right next to the plantings at each stop.
There were times when we had a Japanese guide and times when we didn't, and I thought it would have been better to have explanations.
It was extremely cold with the wind blowing, but I still enjoyed it to some extent.
3月20日から21日にかけて利用しました。
橋脚のすぐ下や高速道路の入り口や、各停留所の植え込みギリギリを通過するときはドキドキしました。
日本語のガイドさんが付いているときとそうでないときがあって、せっかくなら説明があったほうがよいと思いました。
風に吹かれて超寒かったですけど、それなりに楽しめました。
Since we had a one-night schedule on Taketomi Island, we were able to change our return ferry to a time of our choice the next day. Additionally, upon arriving at Taketomi Island, a representative from the water buffalo company was waiting for us, allowing us to smoothly transition to the water buffalo experience without any confusion. During the water buffalo ride, we enjoyed the tranquil scenery of Taketomi Island in a relaxed atmosphere. The weather was great, and even though it was the end of February, it was quite warm, making me regret not bringing sunglasses and better UV protection.
竹富島に一泊のスケジュールだったので、
帰りのフェリーを翌日の好きな時間に変更して頂きました。
また、竹富島へ到着すると、水牛会社の方が待っていて下さり、迷うことなく、水牛体験へとスムーズに移動出来ました。
水牛では、ゆったりとした時間の中で、竹富島ののどかな風景を楽しめました。
お天気も良く、2月末でしたが暑いぐらいで、サングラスやUV対策をもっとしてくれば良かったと後悔したほどです。
私たちはオーストラリアから来ました。このツアーに参加したのは2月で、本当に楽しみました。日本語が話せない場合は、バスでオーディオツアーガイドの機械を提供してくれます。ツアーガイドとバスの運転手はとても親切でフレンドリーでした。非常におすすめです ^^
We are from Australia. We joined this tour in Feb and we really loved it. They will provide you with the audio tour guide machine on the bus if you don't speak Japanese. Both the tour guide and bus driver were very nice and friendly. Highly Recommended ^^
Dear Riva,
Thank you for your participation.
I'm so sorry for the late reply.
I'm very glad that you were satisfied with this tour.
The audio tour guide machine was imperfect, and I apologize for the inconvenience.
If this tour created nice memories for you, it encourages us greatly.
I hope you come to Okinawa again.
Dear Riva
Thank you for your participated.
I'm so sorry late reply.
I'm very glad that your satisfied the this tour.
Audio tour guide machine is imperfectly, so sorry for inconvinience.
If this tour make you nice memories, we are become our encouragement.
I want your coming in Okinawa again.
If you want to visit Churaumi Aquarium but can't or don't want to rent your own vehicle, this tour is probably the best way to do it. Although the staff's English language abilities are minimal, they have some helpful signage and a lot of patience to help you out. The English speaking tourists were all given a headset which provided some interesting information along the drive to compensate for missing out on what the guide was saying. The additional stops: butterfly garden, Nago Pineapple Park, and glass shop were all very catered to getting you to spend more money on souveniers, but you don't have to buy anything and they were all (mildly) interesting enough that it wasn't an annoyance. Lunch is good, if a bit sparse. Bring snacks or buy some at the stops. The three hours at the aquarium is a good amount of time. Enough time to get through the whole aquarium and even catch the dolphin show or spend time at the other attractions. The staff was excellent and surprised us with a complementary pineapple sherbet at the end of the day, so that nice. They also offered to drop us off at the main shopping street or our original pick-up point, which was very convenient. Overall, I'd recommend this as a cost effective way (all the entrance frees and lunch are included) to see some of Okinawa Honto and get to the main attractions up north.
I was wondering what kind of content a 900 yen tour could possibly have, but it was well-structured and very good. It's great that you can visit Sefa Utaki at such an affordable price.
900円のツアーだなんて一体どんな内容だと思ってしまいますが、しっかりとした内容で、非常によかったです。
安価な値段で斎場御嶽に行けるのがとてもいいですね。
During the free time of the company trip, I used this tour for sightseeing. I had never been to the southern part before, so I enjoyed various experiences. The Sefa Utaki involves climbing a small mountain, which might be a bit tough for the elderly. Unfortunately, it was raining, and the ground was slippery, which made me a little nervous. However, upon arriving at the solemn space, I felt my heart being cleansed. The Gyokusendo Cave and the Himeyuri Monument were also great. The optional tours for the company trip were all quite expensive, and later, when discussing where we went with my colleagues, they envied me when I talked about this tour. I think it's rare to find a tour with this content at this price.
社員旅行の自由行動の時にこちらのツアーを利用して観光しました。
南部の方は行ったことがなかったのでいろいろ楽しめました。
斎場御嶽は小山を登るのでお年寄りとかにはちょっとキツいかもしれません。あいにく雨で足元が塗れていて滑るので少しドキドキしました。でも到着した厳かな空間には心洗われる気持ちになります。
玉泉洞もひめゆりの塔もよかったです。
社員旅行のオプショナルツアーはどれも高く、後で会社の人たちとどこに行ったかの話題になり、このツアーの話しをしたところ羨ましがられましたよ。
この内容でこの値段のツアーはなかなかないと思います。
