All Reviews for Bus Tours

The arrival time was more than 20 minutes late, and instead of being able to stay at each location for 50 minutes, we only had about 30 minutes. This significantly reduced the benefits of taking this bus, for which we paid a high price to travel.

到着時間が20分以上遅く、50分あるはずが各場所に30分ほどしか滞在できなかったりしました。わざわざ高いお金を出して移動してるこのバスでのメリットが半減しました。

The strong winds made the waves high, which was a bit tense. The wind was cold, and it rained occasionally, making it a chilly day for this season. However, I was able to enjoy nature, which you can't experience in the city, and it was refreshing. I definitely want to participate again. Next time, I will be mindful of my actions to ensure good weather.

強風のため波が高くやや緊張しました。風が冷たく時折雨が降るなどこの時季にしては寒い日となりました。しかしながら、都会では感じられない自然を満喫できリフレッシュしました。またぜひとも参加したいです。今度は好天になるよう普段からの行いに注意します。

The view of Osaka city from the double-decker bus was pleasant, refreshing, and really great. The guide was kind, and it went by in no time. Next time, I want to join the southern route.

二階建てバスからの大阪市内の眺めは気持ち良く、爽やかでとってもよかった
ガイドさんも優しく
あっという間でした
今度は南回りに参加したい

I used this service for a solo trip to Shodoshima. It's convenient because they take you to places that are hard to reach without a car. The guide recited "Twenty-Four Eyes," and it was amazing.

小豆島一人旅で利用。車なしでは行きづらいところに連れて行ってもらえるので便利です。ガイドさんが二十四の瞳を暗唱されていて、すごかったです

Anyway, the guide Masa was amazing! He was always smiling and handled everything efficiently, making for a fun and safe tour without any waste. There were many foreigners, and the guidance was in English (with important parts also explained in Japanese), which added to the charm and made it enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour!

とにかくガイドのMASAさんが最高！
常に笑顔でテキパキと仕事をこなし、無駄なく楽しく安全なツアーができました。
外国人が多く、英語の案内（重要なところは日本語でも案内ありです）でしたが、それも情緒があって楽しかったです。
超オススメのツアーです。

The weather was great on the day of our visit, and it was perfect for sightseeing without any troubles. In particular, the view from the mountaintop of the ropeway, overlooking Oita city and Beppu Bay, with the mountains of Oita visible in a 360-degree panorama, was breathtaking. Our guide was a woman from Hong Kong who spoke fluent Japanese, Chinese, and English. She was very friendly and provided us with recommendations for shops and useful information, as well as apps that would be helpful during our stay—she was absolutely perfect.

当日は天気も良く 何のトラブルもなく観光日和でした。特に ロープウェイの山頂から
の大分市内そして 別府湾 はるかに 望む 大分の山々の景色が360℃見渡せ 圧巻でした。ガイドさんは香港出身の女性の方でしたが 流暢に日本語 中国語 英語と話され とてもフレンドリーで おすすめのお店や情報 また現地で役に立つアプリも教えてくれたり完璧な方でした。

We saved both time and money by using public transportation to travel from Hakata to Takachiho, and we were very satisfied with the explanations provided by our tour guide, Chou, who is trilingual in Japanese, Chinese, and English!

Additionally, after visiting Takachiho Gorge, the shuttle service with a large van to the bus was very helpful!

Although there was some traffic congestion on the expressway both going and returning, thanks to the driver's safe driving, we were able to complete the tour safely, even though we were about an hour late on the way back!

自分達で公共機関を使って博多から高千穂に行くより時間的にも費用的にも節約でき、更にツアーガイドのチョウさんの日本語、中国語、英語のトライリンガルによる要所要所での説明もあり、大満足でした！

また、高千穂峡見学後にバス迄の大型バンによるピストン輸送もあり、とても助かりました！

また、行きも帰りも一部高速道路の渋滞がありましたが、運転手さんの安全運転のお陰もあり、帰りは1時間程遅れましたが無事にツアーを終了出来ました！

In the morning, there were a few clouds, but by noon the clouds disappeared and it was clear. The lunchtime houtou was delicious. However, it was unfortunate that a child was crying on the bus the whole time. On the way back, we were delayed by traffic and arrived an hour late.

午前中は、少し雲がありましたが、昼は雲が消えて見れました。お昼のほうとうは、美味しかった。ただバスの中でずっと子供が泣いていたのは、残念でした。帰りは渋滞で1時間到着が遅れました。

Overall, it was just okay. What I didn't like was the star sand in Taketomi. I felt it hasn't changed at all in 30 years and is in a terrible state. There have been improvements in the bus service in Komini. Overall, I hope they enhance the tourist experience more.

全体的には　まあまあかな
よくなかったのは　竹富の星の砂
30年前と全然変わってなく　ひどい状態と感じた
コミニのバス運行に工夫改良あり
全体的にもっと観光の見る体験を
充実してほしい

I think it would be better if you put more effort into things like caves, pottery, and glass-making. If things stay as they are, it won't be good. The Chinese Temple, the observation deck, and the food are not particularly unique. Why not start something more enjoyable? There's no sense of excitement at all. As it stands, you won't capture the hearts of young people, and it's not fun for the elderly either.

鍾乳洞　陶芸　ガラス作りとか
もつと工夫をしたらいいと思います　今のままではダメになりますよ　唐人の寺　展望台　食事も珍しく有りません　もっと楽しいこと始めません　ワクワク感がぜんぜんない　今のままで若い人の心掴めません　年寄りでも全然楽しくない

As many reviews have mentioned, this is a tour aimed at foreigners. This time, there were 36 Chinese participants, 4 Japanese, and 3 Koreans. However, the guide was wonderful and explained everything in detail in each country's language. So, I felt that even if there was only one Japanese participant, they could join with peace of mind.

It was great to efficiently visit famous spots by bus. Although it was a bus tour, we walked over 10,000 steps, so comfortable clothing and shoes are essential.

On the way back, we also received steamed buns as souvenirs. Thank you very much.

口コミで多くの方が書かれている通り、これは外国人向けのツアーです。今回も中国人36名、日本人4名、韓国人3名という構成でした。しかし、ガイドさんが素晴らしく各国の言葉で全て詳しく説明して下さいます。なので、たとえ日本人1人参加だとしても安心して参加できると思いました。
有名どころを効率よくバスで巡れてよかったです。
バスツアーですが一万歩以上歩いたので、歩きやすい服装、靴は必須ですね。
帰りにお饅頭のお土産もいただきました。ありがとうございました。

The weather was unfortunate, but I enjoyed it enough. The time management was good, and I didn't get bored even participating alone. The cows were so cute! 🩷

　あいにくの天気でしたが、十分楽しめました
時間配分も良く、一人参加でも退屈しませんでした
牛さんたちが可愛いかった🩷

I was able to visit the places I wanted to in a very efficient manner. In Yufuin, there was over two hours of free time, and although it was at my own expense, I enjoyed visiting hot springs and tasting local sake. I was the only Japanese person in the group, with about 80% being from China, but the guide was wonderful, providing guidance in Japanese, Chinese, and English. The driver was also very kind, helping with my luggage. I really appreciated all the help!

行きたいところをピンポイントでかなり効率良く回れました。湯布院では２時間以上のフリータイムがあり、自費ですが温泉巡りや地酒の飲み比べなど堪能しました。日本人は私1人で8割は中国の方でしたが、ガイドさんは日本語、中国語、英語でガイドしてくれて素晴らしかったです。運転手さんも荷物を運んでくれたり大変親切でした。大変お世話になりました！

Since it was before the cherry blossom bloom declaration, I followed the guide's advice to "see with your heart" as we explored (laughs). If the blossoms had been in bloom, I think I would have experienced some truly beautiful sights, like the cherry blossom tunnel.

However, the drive was fantastic, blessed with good weather and a pleasant breeze. Especially right after departing, the view of Tokyo Station from a perfect height was irresistible for fans of retro architecture!

Next time, I want to go in time for the bloom.

桜の開花宣言前だったので
案内上手なガイドさんの"心の目で見てください"に従って周りました（笑）
開花していたら、桜のトンネルなど、とても素敵な景色を体験できたと思います。

しかし、天候にも恵まれ気持ち良い風を受けながらのドライブは最高でした。
特に出発直後の東京駅は、絶妙な高さからの全体を見渡せるロケーションでレトロ建築好きにはたまりませんでした❗️

次回は開花に合わせて行きたいと思います。

It was drizzling during the gathering, but by the time we arrived in Takachiho, the rain had stopped and we were blessed with good weather. We did a lot of walking, visiting places like Takachiho Gorge and shrines, so it was a good decision to wear walking shoes. The lunch was delicious as well. There were few Japanese participants, but it was an enjoyable bus tour.

集合の時は、小雨が降っていましたが、高千穂に着いたら、雨もやんで、お天気にも恵まれました。高千穂峡や、神社など、とにかく歩く事が多くて、ウォーキングシューズを履いていって正解でした。昼食も美味しかったです。日本人の参加者は、少なかったですが、楽しいバスツアーでした。

Since I live in the city, I thought I could go to this place anytime, but I went out again to enjoy cherry blossoms. It was the peak blooming season, so the cherry blossoms from the open bus were quite beautiful. However, since it was a non-stop tour, it felt like just looking at them the whole time. The guide's stories were interesting, and I learned some fun facts that I hadn't noticed or known before. In reality, the cherry blossoms on Sakura Street in Yaesu, where we gathered, were the most beautiful and I could enjoy them at a leisurely pace. 😊

都内在住なのでいつでも行けると思っていた場所に改めて花見の形で出かけました。
満開の時期でしたので、オープンバスからの桜もなかなかです。
ただノンストップですのでひたすら眺める感じです。
ガイドさんの話しも面白く気が付かなかった、知らなかった豆知識も得ることができました。
実際は、集合場所の八重洲のさくら通りの桜が一番きれいでゆっくり見られたかな(^^)

Sefa Utaki was very informative. Saw 6 sacred indigenous places. The valley of Gangara was also very interesting and beautiful. Many Wonderful caves with stalactites and ancient trees and discoveries of prehistoric bones and artifacts and evidence of burials.

Since I participated from within Naha City, it turned into a long tour from morning until night.

I was satisfied that we could efficiently visit the places I wanted to see. It would have been tough to arrange everything on my own. If I had used a rental car, I would have been exhausted.

During the travel, I could rest and even sleep.

那覇市内から参加したので朝から夜までの長時間なツアーになりました

観光したい場所を効率よく回れて満足です
自分で一つ一つ手配するのは大変です
レンタカーを使用したとすれば疲れてしまったでしょう

移動中は休めるし寝ることも出来ます

The weather wasn't great, but it was good that we could move efficiently. The bus had assigned seats, but perhaps due to the many foreign participants, there were quite a few mix-ups. When I got on, someone was already sitting in my seat, which was a bit confusing.

During the trip, the tour guide talked continuously, so it was nice to learn various things about Okinawa. It was convenient that we were dropped off at the airport at the end.

天気には恵まれませんでしたが、効率よくまわれてよかったです。
バスは指定席でしたが、外国の方も多く参加されていた影響か間違っている方が多く、私自身の席も乗車するとすでに違う方が座ってらっしゃって少し戸惑いました。

移動中は添乗員さんがずっとお話をしてくださいますので、沖縄のことを色々と知れて良かったです。
最後は空港で降ろしてもらえるので便利でした。

I'm glad I was able to visit the Churaumi Aquarium and Kouri Island. It was rainy, but I had a great time. The guide was humorous and a nice person.

美ら海水族館や古宇利島へ行けて良かったです。雨模様でしたが楽しめました。ガイドさんもユーモアがあって良い方でした。

Lunch was scheduled in Yufuin, but most of the restaurants were closed. I wonder if it wasn't possible to check in advance that some places are closed on Wednesdays depending on the region? I had a hard time finding an open restaurant. Also, while the tour guide did communicate the meeting time, it was a bit difficult to understand, so I thought it would have been helpful if they could have displayed it on a placard inside the bus.

昼食の時間が湯布院で設定されていましたが、殆どの食べ物屋さんがお休みでした。地域によっては毎週水曜日が休みとか事前に確認が出来なかったのでしょうか？
開店してる店を探すのに苦労しました。
又、添乗員さんから集合時間の連絡が有りましたが、言葉が分かりにくい事もあり、プラカードなどでバスの中で提示していただけると良かったのにと思いました。

I participated in the tour from Mojiko Retro to Yamaguchi for two consecutive days. Both days, we had a wonderful female guide named Chou, who was very attentive and considerate. The driver was also kind and skilled, making me feel safe during the ride. I thought the tour content and time management were great. I will definitely use this service again on my next trip to Fukuoka.

門司港レトロ〜山口へのツアーに続き、2日間続けて参加させて頂きました。
2日間ともチョウさんと言う女性のガイドさんで、気配りが出来るとても素晴らしい方でした。
運転士さんも優しい方で、運転も上手で安心して乗っている事が出来ました。
ツアー内容も、時間配分も良かったと思います。
また福岡旅行の際には利用させていただきます。

I was surprised by the size. The aquarium was nice, but the flowers in the botanical garden were beautiful, and I was surrounded by a lovely fragrance. I think I might have needed a little more time.

広さにびっくりしました。
水族館もよかったのですが、植物園の花が綺麗で、素敵な香りにつつまれました。
ちょっと時間がたりなかったかなーと思います。

I participated in the tour with the intention of visiting the bear farm. It was fun to revisit the bear farm after several years. Previously, the bears were lively and bustling, but this time they seemed somewhat lacking in energy and it felt a bit lonely. The tour progressed at just the right pace. I was told there were foot baths and hand baths, but there was no explanation of where those spots were.

くま牧場目当てでツアー参加しました。
何年ぶりかでくま牧場を再訪でき、楽しかったです。以前は熊達が総立ちで賑わしかったのですが、今回は皆心なしか元気が無く寂しい感じがしました。ツアーは、丁度いい位の進み具合でした。足湯や手湯が有ると言われただけでどこにそんなスポットが有るかは説明無しでした。

There was an explanation in both English and Japanese, which helped with my listening skills in English. At the landmarks, we were sure to take photos, and since I participated with two friends, it was great to be able to take pictures of the three of us together.

英語と日本語での説明がありました。英語の聞き取りの勉強にもなりました。
名所では必ず写真を撮っていただき、友人2人での参加でしたが、、2人での写真が撮れて良かったです

On the day of the visit, I was smoothly guided and was able to see the beautiful Mount Fuji, making for an enjoyable sightseeing experience! It was disappointing that we couldn't go to the fifth station of Mount Fuji due to snow, but I was satisfied overall! The lunch buffet received negative feedback, so I will rate it as good. Thank you very much.

当日、スムーズに案内していただいて綺麗な富士山を見ることができ、楽しく観光できました！富士山五合目は雪のため行けず残念でしたが、満足でした！
ランチバイキングが不評だったので、評価は良かったとさせていただきます。
ありがとうございました。

There were more overseas guests than Japanese people.
But the guide explained in three languages.
After finishing listening in Japanese, I would take a nap and wake up at the sightseeing spot.
I was playing by guessing the meaning in English and checking my answers in Japanese by myself.

At the sightseeing spots, the guide would address each person in a way that suited them, so there were no problems.

Everyone was quiet on the bus, and the gathering went smoothly.

I was able to see various landscapes in one day.

For dinner, I went to the Genghis Khan restaurant that the guide recommended, and it ended up being a fulfilling day!

日本人より海外のお客さんのが多かったです。
でもガイドさんは3カ国分説明してくれます
日本語聞き終わったら寝て起きたら観光場所
英語で意味を予想して日本語で答え合わせなんて1人でして遊んでました

観光地でもガイドさんはその人にあった言葉で声かけしてくれるので問題なし

みんなバスの中も静かだったし、集合もスムーズ

一日でいろいろな景色を見れました

晩御飯もガイドさんが教えてくれたジンギスカン屋さんに行って充実した1日で終わりました~

I thought it would be tight on time to explore Mishima in one day, so I opted for a tour departing for Taketomi Island at 2:30 PM. Thanks to that, I was able to spend the morning enjoying an experience playing with dolphins, making it a meaningful day.

We departed from the Euglena Island Terminal at 2:30 PM and arrived at Taketomi Island in less than ten minutes. We boarded a microbus that took us to the water buffalo cart terminal station (laughs).

There, we checked in for the water buffalo cart ride and waited for our names to be called by the staff. Since the number of people who can ride the water buffalo cart is limited, they consider the size of the group when distributing spots.

After a few minutes of waiting, my name was called, and I boarded the water buffalo cart. From there, we embarked on a 30-minute city tour while listening to the guide's explanations and watching the buffalo's rear end (laughs). The buffalo knows the route and walks on its own, but the guide manages the pace, hurrying or stopping as needed to maintain distance from the cart in front.

While some roads on Taketomi Island are paved, the paths for the water buffalo cart are all unpaved sandy roads. We moved at a slower pace than a person walking, but the buildings and the trees and flowers planted here and there created a landscape that truly felt like "this is Okinawa! This is the Yaeyama Islands," which was moving. Sometimes the guide played the sanshin and sang, creating a nice atmosphere. It was amusing when the buffalo decided to take a break while the music was playing, causing the cart to stop.

We circled around the main street of the island and returned to the water buffalo gathering spot at the station where we started, where we disembarked. We could take a commemorative photo, but it was a small card-sized picture, so if you want a clearer two-shot with the buffalo, you can purchase it for 1,800 yen. We bought it.

After that, we had about an hour until the return boat departed. If we had rented bicycles, we could have made it to the Star Sand Beach, but we decided to leisurely explore the village instead.

We enjoyed seeing various sights and sipping on banana smoothies, which made for a perfectly timed experience. From there, we took the bus back to the port from where we first disembarked. We even had time to browse for souvenirs before the return boat arrived.

We boarded the same boat at 5 PM to return to Ishigaki. We got off the boat around 5:10 PM, making it roughly a two-and-a-half-hour tour. It was just right for a half-day of fun. I recommend it for those who are thinking, "I have some free time in the afternoon."

If you want to experience the leisurely space and time that you often see in images, definitely give it a try.

一日で三島を巡るのは時間的にきつそうと思い，竹富島へは午後２時半出発のツアーとしました。おかげで午前中にイルカと遊ぶ体験をする時間も取れて有意義な一日を過ごすことができました。
２時半にユーグレナ離島埠頭を出港して１０分足らずで竹富島に到着。待っていたマイクロバスに乗って水牛車のターミナルステーション(笑)まで運んでもらえます。
そこで水牛車に乗る受付をして、係の人に名前を呼ばれるのを待ちます。水牛車に乗れる人数が限られるので先方がグループの人数などを考慮して配分してくれます。
待つこと数分で名前を呼ばれて水牛車に乗り込みます。それからは牛使いさんの説明を聞きながら水牛のお尻をずっと見ながら(笑)約３０分の市内周遊ツアーをすることになります。
牛さんは道順を覚えているので自発的に歩きますが、前の車との間隔などを配慮して牛使いさんが急がせたり止めたりしています。竹富島の道は舗装されているとこもありますが、水牛車が通る道は全て砂地の未舗装路です。そこをもったりもったり人が歩むより遅い速度で巡回するのですが、途中の建物やそこかしこに植えられた木や花が「これぞ沖縄！これぞ八重山諸島」という風景で感動します。時には牛使いさんが三線を弾いてアユタを歌ってきたりしていい感じ。音楽が流れている間中、牛さんが休憩してしまい水牛車が止まるのはご愛敬。島内のメイン通りをぐるっと回って出発したステーションのところにある水牛のたまり場？まで帰ってきてそこで下車です。
乗車記念で写真を撮ってもらえますが、それは名刺大くらいの小さなものなのでもっとはっきりした牛とのツーショットが欲しい場合は1,800円で購入です。うちは買いました。
それから帰港する船が出るまで約1時間くらいでした。レンタサイクルを利用すれば星の砂のビーチくらいまでは行けそうでしたが、自分たちはゆったり村内を回ることにしました。
あちこち見たり途中でバナナスムージーを飲んだりしてちょうどいい感じの時間配分でした。そこで最初にバスを降りたところから港へバスで送ってもらいます。そして帰りの船が来るまでお土産を見て回る時間もある位程度ありました。
乗ってきたのと同じ船に17時に乗って石垣へ帰ります。
船から降りると17時10分くらい。概ね2時間半くらいのツアーです。
半日遊ぶのにちょうどいい感じでした。時間的に「午後が空くなあ」と思ってる方にはおすすめです。

よく見るイメージ通りののんびりした空間・時間を味わいたい方、行ってみてください。

The weather was nice, the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, and the temple against the blue sky was beautiful. It was great that we could travel by bus, store our luggage, and get close to the tourist spots. The tempura and yudofu for lunch were also delicious. It was fun to be on the same tour with foreigners, and the guide's explanations in both English and Japanese helped me understand the English expressions. The guide was cheerful, which made the experience enjoyable.

天気良く桜が満開で、お寺と青い空が美しいです。バスで回れ荷物が置けて観光地の近くまで行けて良かった。お昼ご飯の天麩羅湯豆腐も美味しかったです。外国人と同じツアーでガイドさんの英語と日本語の説明で英語の表現がわかりガイドさんも陽気な人で楽しかったです。

Unfortunately, the weather forecast predicted rain. I thought I wouldn't be able to go to the beach, so I made a reservation the day before.
I've been to Sefa Utaki a few times in the past, and I thought it would be slippery in the rain, so I visited Chinen Misaki instead. Even in the rain, I could see the beauty of the ocean.
The limestone caves at Okinawa World are impressive and are a must-visit spot.

あいにくの雨予報。海には行けないと思ったので、前日に予約しました。
斎場御嶽は過去に数回行って、雨だと足下滑ると思い、知念岬を観光。雨でも海のきれいさは分かりました。
沖縄ワールドの鍾乳洞は圧巻で、一度は行くべきスポットです。
