All Reviews for Bus Tours

Thanks to the guide's entertaining stories and the driver's professional driving, which remained steady even in thick fog, I had a very meaningful time. Thank you!

ガイドさんの楽しいお話と濃霧の中でも揺るぎないドライバーさんのプロフェッショナルな運転のおかげでとても有意義な時間でした。ありがとうございました！

I went on an island-hopping tour from Ishigaki Island. The route included Iriomote Island, Yubu Island, and Taketomi Island.

On Iriomote Island, I was amazed by the mangroves we saw from the boat. After that, we crossed to Yubu Island by water buffalo cart and enjoyed lunch before visiting the botanical garden. Going further in, the gelato at Yubu Island Tea House on Manta Beach was fantastic!

On the way back, we rode the water buffalo cart again to return to Iriomote Island, where we took a boat to Taketomi Island.

In Taketomi Island, we enjoyed a village tour while being rocked by the water buffalo cart. It was a full-day tour, and that relaxed atmosphere is definitely worth repeating!

西表島では船でマングローブを見学して圧巻され、水牛車で由布島に渡って昼食後に植物園見学。奥に行ってマンタビーチにある由布島茶屋のジェラートも最高！
帰りはまた水牛車に揺られながら西表島に戻って船に乗り竹富島へ。

ほぼ1日がかりのツアーでした。
あのゆったり感はリピート必須です。

On Iriomote Island, we took a mangrove tour by boat. It was fascinating. We crossed to Yubu Island on a water buffalo, and there were various types of water buffalo, which was enjoyable. On Taketomi Island, we could explore the town by bicycle, which was also fun. But the best experience was definitely riding the water buffalo.

西表島ではマングローブツアーを船でします。興味深かったです。由布島へ水牛でわたるのですが、いろいろなタイプの水牛がいて楽しかったです。竹富島は自転車で町を回れて楽しかったです。やっぱり一番は水牛に乗る体験でした。

On May 3rd, I participated with my family of three. It was a bus tour where I was impressed by the vast knowledge of our guide, Sunakawa. The explanations were easy to understand, and both the songs and the sanshin performance were wonderful. We experienced the mysteries of nature in the limestone cave, and on the glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay (additional fee), we were able to see sea turtles, schools of grouper, and colorful tropical fish.

5/3に家族3人で参加。
ガイドの砂川さんの知識量の多さに感服しながらのバスツアーでした。
説明も分かりやすく、歌も三線も素晴らしいものでした。
鍾乳洞で自然の神秘に触れ、川平湾のグラスボート（別途料金）ではウミガメやグルクンの群れ、カラフルな熱帯魚達をみることが出来ました。

Perhaps due to the lack of snow, the height of the snow wall was only 11 meters, which is half the height compared to the past record, leaving me feeling somewhat unsatisfied. While others were able to spot them, I couldn't find any ptarmigans.

雪が少なかったせいか
雪の壁の高さが１１メートルと過去最高と比べて半分の高さで物足りなさを感じました。他の方は見つけていましたが、私は雷鳥も見つけられませんでした。

The water buffalo was very smart, and sometimes luck comes your way! Listening to the sanshin while being blown by the wind, swaying in the ox cart on the way to Yufu Island! It was the best, thank you, water buffalo!

水牛さんは大変お利口でした、運がつく事もあります！風に吹かれながら三線を聴き、牛車に揺られ由布島へ向かう！最高でした、ありがとう水牛さん！

Although the sky was unfortunately cloudy and there was a bit of rain, I had a very enjoyable time. The experience of swaying on a water buffalo cart while crossing to Yufushima became a wonderful memory. Next time, I would like to go again on a sunny day!

あいにくの曇り空と、少し雨もパラつきましたが、とても楽しく過ごせました。水牛車でゆらゆら揺られ由布島に渡った経験はよい思い出になりました。今度は晴れた日にまた行ってみたいです！！

The water buffalo cart to Yubu Island was really great. I was also healed by the driver's (guide's) sanshin performance. The mangrove tour, bus, and ferry, and the stories from each guide were enjoyable too!

由布島への水牛車はすごく良かったです。
運転手（ガイド）さんの三線演奏にも癒されました。
マングローブ遊覧、バス、フェリー、それぞれのガイドさんの話も楽しかったです！

It was an efficient tour, but unfortunately, the lift at Okurayama Jump Stadium was not operating due to strong winds. I felt like we had a bit of extra time. At Hitsujigaoka, I thought we didn't have enough time to visit because we had to wait in line to take photos in front of the Clark statue. The bus guide was kind and left a good impression.

効率のいいツアーでしたが、大倉山ジャンプ競技場のリフトが強風で動かず残念でした。少し時間を持て余した感があります。羊ケ丘は、クラーク像前で写真を撮るのに、並ぶため見学の時間が足りないと思いました。バス
ガイドさんは、親切で好感が持てました。

The guide was from China, and they were friendly and approachable, making for a very enjoyable time. I would like to use this service again.

ガイドさんが中国の方でしたが、フレンドリーで親しみ深く、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。また利用したいと思います。

Every year, our family of four would travel together, but this year, we visited with just three of us due to my father's passing. We brought a photo of my father and took a family tour. We visited the places we went to when he was healthy.

毎年家族四人で旅行してましたが、今年父親が永眠の為、3人で訪れました。
父親の写真を持って家族全員のツアーです。父親が元気な時に行った場所を巡りました。

Although there were only a few Japanese participants, we were arranged to be close together, which made it easy to participate comfortably. Our tour guide, Mr. Yanagyu, was friendly and skillfully switched between Japanese and Chinese while providing a thorough guide. His attention to detail, such as recommending places for photos and food, was impressive. The driver was also pleasant and drove safely, allowing us to feel secure throughout the trip. We were able to efficiently visit the sightseeing spots, and I believe this tour is highly recommended for those visiting Hokkaido for the first time.

日本人の参加者は少数ではありましたが、近くにまとまるよう配慮されており、安心して参加できました。添乗員の柳生さんは気さくで、日本語と中国語を使い分けながら丁寧にガイドしてくださり、写真撮影や食べ物のおすすめなど細やかな気配りが印象的でした。運転手さんも感じが良く、安全運転で終始安心して過ごせました。観光地も効率よく回ることができ、初めて北海道を訪れる方にもおすすめできるツアーだと思います。

I participated in a day trip to Mount Fuji on April 29th. I felt it was great to be able to efficiently sightsee within a limited time. My wife and I were the only Japanese participants, but our conductor, Mr. Zhang Yu, was always polite and provided clear explanations, for which I am grateful. I wish you continued success in the future.

４月29日の富士山日帰り旅行に参加いたしました。
限られた時間で効率良く観光でき、参加して良かったと思いました。
日本人は私共夫婦二人だけでしたが、コンダクターの張宇さんには、終始丁寧に
解りやすく対応頂き、感謝しております。
今後とも、より一層のご活躍祈念いたします。

It was a smooth experience during the Golden Week. I checked in at the counter at the remote island terminal before the scheduled time and boarded the boat. It took about 15 minutes to get to Taketomi Island. From there, we transferred to several cars and headed to the waiting area for the water buffalo. We were guided in order. The water buffalo guide was very good at talking, and we leisurely progressed while listening to her play the sanshin. They also took free photos, and if you liked them, there were paid versions with a frame available. The quality of the photos with data was good, so we purchased them for our family. There wasn't much time for free exploration, so we returned to the meeting point early and just relaxed afterward. From start to finish, all the staff we encountered were very pleasant. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

GWでしたが大変スムーズでした。離島ターミナルのカウンターで時間までに受付し、船に乗船。竹富島まで15分ほど。そこから数台の車に分かれて乗り換え、水牛の待つ場所へ。順番に案内されます。水牛ガイドのお姉さんがとても話し上手で、三線の弾き語りを聴きながらのんびり進みます。無料の写真も撮っていただき、気に入れば台紙付きの有料タイプも。データ付きで仕上がりが良かったので我が家は購入しました。フリータイムで巡れる時間はあまりなかったので早めに集合場所まで戻り、あとはまったり。スタートから最後まで、出会うスタッフの方々とても感じが良かったです。素敵な思い出をありがとうございました！

I rode in an ox cart for the first time! It was a graceful moment while listening to the shamisen! I didn't rent a bicycle on Taketomi Island, but I think those with good stamina can enjoy a walk.

初めて牛車にのりましたー。
三味線聴きながら、優雅なひと時でしたよ！
竹富島では自転車をレンタルしませんでしたが、体力ある方ならお散歩で楽しめると思います。

I participated with a friend who came from afar. We had originally signed up for a different tour in the same area, but since it was canceled, we quickly registered for this one.

I felt it was good for planning since this tour was confirmed to operate.

The tour's itinerary was designed to allow for a leisurely pace, so it was nice to be able to move around without feeling rushed.

遠方から来た友人と参加
同じ方面の別ツアーに申し込んでいたのですが、不催行となったため、急遽こちらで申し込みました。
催行確定のツアーなので予定を立てるのには良いと感じました。

ツアーの内容はゆっくりと回れるコース設計となっていたので、無理せず動けて良かったです。

On the bus, there were just the two of us and the driver, who were Japanese, but thanks to the consideration of the female tour guide, we had great seats at the front, which was wonderful. I also appreciate the small attentions to detail. The service while speaking three languages was impressive. The driver's route to ease the traffic made for a comfortable journey, which was great. However, I would like everyone to strictly adhere to returning to the bus on time, as being late can cause inconvenience for everyone. I would love to participate again. Thank you!

バスのお客さんで日本人が私達二人と運転手さんでしたが、添乗員の女性の方の配慮で席は前で凄く良かったですし、細かな気遣いもありがとうございました。三カ国語を話しながらの接客には素晴らしかったです。
運転手さんの渋滞緩和のルートも快適な旅になり良かったです。
ただ、きちんと遅刻せずにバスに戻って来ないと全員に迷惑がかかる事を厳守してほしいです。また参加したいです。ありがとうございました〜

I was concerned that spending one day on three islands would mean less time on each island, but in reality, I was able to have an enjoyable experience on each one. For lunch, I had "karasoba," a soul food from the Yaeyama Islands, where you can choose toppings in a buffet style.

On Taketomi Island, there was a free walk plan, but thanks to a rental service at the port that accommodated us without a reservation, I was able to rent a bicycle on-site. I recommend renting a bicycle for those who want to visit multiple spots.

This plan is highly recommended for those who want to casually visit various islands and for beginners exploring the Yaeyama Islands.

1日で3島ということで、1島あたりの時間が少なくなることを懸念していましたが、実際はどの島でも魅力的な体験ができました。
昼ごはんは「からそば」という八重山諸島のソウルフードで、トッピングをバイキング形式で選ぶものでした。
竹富島ではフリーウォークプランでしたが、予約なしでも対応してくださる業者さんが港にいてくれたおかげで、現地で自転車をレンタルすることができました。行きたいスポットが複数ある方は自転車レンタルをおすすめします。
いろんな島に気軽に訪れたい行きたいという方、八重山諸島初心者の方にはとてもおすすめのプランです。

The host does not speak English and the headset does not work so I did not know what’s really happening while I was on the bus. I used the Google translator and helped me little bit.

This is a tour that takes about 6 hours to explore Iriomote Island and Yufu Island, allowing you to efficiently see the sightseeing spots within a short time that would be difficult to achieve with individual arrangements. I truly felt that participating in this tour was a great decision. Another positive aspect was the round-trip shuttle service between the hotel and the remote island terminal.

西表島及び由布島を約6時間で巡るツアーですが、個人手配では実現できない短時間の中で効率よく観光名所を見ることができるツアーです。参加して良かったと心から思えるツアーでした。
ホテルと離島ターミナルの往復送迎対応があることも良い点でした。

Thanks to the driver's excellent driving skills and the guide's warm hospitality and thorough guidance, I was able to fully enjoy various spots.

It was an experience that makes me want to visit Yakushima again. Thank you!

運転手のドライビングテクニックとガイドさんのホスピタリティあふれる丁寧な案内で、さまざまなスポットを満喫することができました。

また屋久島に来たいと思える体験でした。
ありがとうございます！

On April 29th, the main event was originally supposed to be the Asahiyama Zoo tour. However, due to an incident at the zoo, we had to quickly switch to a different tour. We visited the Bibai Art Museum, a petting farm, the Blue Pond, and Shirahige Falls, and I was very satisfied with the Furano curry we had for lunch in Biei. The tour guide, Mr. Yanagyu, was very cheerful, and the atmosphere in the bus was bright and lively. One downside was that we had planned to use a large bus, but ended up with a microbus, which made the long journey a bit tiring. This was my fifth or sixth time participating, and I hope to join the Asahiyama Zoo tour next year.

4月29日は本来は旭山動物園ツアーがメインでした、所が旭山動物園で事件が有り、急遽別のツアーになりました、美唄の美術館、ふれあい牧場、青い池、白ひげの滝、美瑛ので昼食の富良野カレーがとても満足でした、添乗員の柳生さんはとても明るくて車内はとても明るい雰囲気でした、ひとつ残念なのは当初大型バスの予定がマイクロバスになり長時間の移動に少し疲れました、今回で5回目か6回目の参加でしたが来年こそは旭山動物園ツアーに参加したいと思います。

The weather was nice, which was great. Since I was staying at the Iwasaki Hotel, I was picked up right in front of the hotel. The female guide was cheerful and energetic, making it a fun experience. She really loved Yakushima and spoke about it with great care, which was very educational for me.

We set off and circled Yakushima in a clockwise direction. The tour covers all the essential spots, so I recommend it for beginners to Yakushima. Around the western forest road, the road is narrow, just enough for one car to pass. I think this area could be challenging for those considering a rental car. From here, you can encounter wild deer and monkeys. After passing through, we reached Inakahama, where the beautiful sandy beach and the crashing waves created a stunning view.

For lunch, we stopped in Miyanoura. The fried flying fish was exquisite. The bus then traveled through Anbo, passing the airport, and headed to Yakusugi Land and the Jomon Sugi. The guide accompanied us while we explored Yakusugi Land, providing insights. It was moving to be able to touch the Jomon Sugi. After descending the mountain, we got off the bus, and a taxi took us to our hotel. It was very accommodating. You can enjoy the experience fully even without a rental car.

Additionally, the guide took photos at scenic spots and showed great consideration for the participants. The stories were interesting, so I never got bored for a minute. Thank you very much!

天気が良くて良かったです。
いわさきホテルに泊まっていたのでホテル前からピックアップしてもらいました。
ガイドの女性が明るくて元気で楽しかったです。屋久島が好きで屋久島のことを本当に丁寧に話して下さったので勉強になりました。
出発して、時計回りに屋久島を周遊します。所要なところは回るので屋久島初心者にはおすすめです。
西部林道あたりは道幅が狭く車１台通れるかのところを走ります。レンタカーでお考えの方はここは難所だと思います。このあたりから野生のシカや猿に出会えます。そこを抜けるといなか浜で美しい砂浜と押し寄せる波はとてもキレイな景色でした。
昼は宮之浦で昼食を食べます。トビウオの唐揚げは絶品です。バスは走り安房をぬけ空港を走りヤクスギランドや紀元杉へ。ヤクスギランド散策もガイドさんが一緒でガイドしてくれます。紀元杉は触れられるので感動します。山を降りバスを下車、そこから宿泊ホテルまではタクシーで送ってもらえました。至れり尽くせりです。レンタカーなくても充分楽しめます。
またガイドさんは写真スポットで写真を撮ってくれたり、参加者に対する気遣いも半端なかったです。あと話が面白いので一分も飽きない楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。

It was very convenient to be able to sightsee by bus, but I was disappointed that the lunch changed from "Kyoto tofu" to a buffet. Also, the meeting place in the morning was very crowded, and the tour guide arrived more than 10 minutes late, which made me anxious. Since we had to move to where the bus was parked, there were about two instances where we had to go back to pick up participants who arrived during the move, and several participants expressed that they were "looking for it" and "didn't know where to go."

バスで観光できるのは非常に便利でしたが、昼食の内容が「京豆腐」からブッフェに変更になったのは残念でした。また朝の集合場所は大変混雑しているなか、10分以上遅れて添乗員が来られたので不安でした。バスの停まっている場所に移動するので、移動中に来られた参加者を再度迎えにと言う繰り返しが2度ほどあって、参加者も「探してたーー」、「分からなかった」と言われてる方が何人かいました。

The course was packed with activities throughout the day, and it was fulfilling. However, the 50-minute stay at American Village felt too short, which was disappointing.

1日盛り沢山のコースで、充実してました。ただ、アメリカンビレッジ50分の滞在時間は少なく、残念でした。

I participated in the Fukuoka sightseeing tour this time, and it was a very enjoyable day. The scenery in Itoshima was beautiful, and I was able to relax while being healed by the sea and nature. Unfortunately, it rained, but there were many spots perfect for taking Instagram-worthy photos, making it ideal for those who love to capture stylish pictures.

Additionally, our guide, Mr. Lee, was very kind and considerate, always looking out for us during the travel, which made me feel at ease. His explanations were easy to understand, and the atmosphere was fun throughout the tour.

今回の福岡巡りツアーに参加しましたが、とても楽しい1日でした。
糸島の景色は綺麗で、海や自然に癒されながらゆっくり過ごすことができました。あいにく雨でしたが、写真映えするスポットも多く、インスタ映えが好きな方や、おしゃれな写真を撮りたい方にもぴったりだと思います。

また、ガイドの李さんもとても親切で優しく、移動中もいろいろ気にかけてくださったので安心して参加できました。説明も分かりやすく、終始楽しい雰囲気でした。

I traveled from Hokkaido to the southernmost Yaeyama Islands. Even within Japan, I noticed differences in lifestyle and customs. Thank you for a wonderful trip.

北海道から最南端の八重山諸島に行きました。同じ日本でも生活用式、習慣の違いがわかりました。楽しい旅をありがとうございました。

It felt like an overseas trip since everyone except for my spouse and me were foreigners, which was refreshing. The tour guide's service was the best I've ever experienced. Although the tour itself had a bit less time at each location, we enjoyed it thoroughly.

私達夫婦以外全て外国人、まるで海外旅行の様で新鮮でした。
添乗員さんの方の対応過去1番良かったです。
ツアー自体は各所時間少なめでしたが十分楽しめました。

The guide consulted with the driver and flexibly handled the itinerary and restroom breaks, allowing us to enjoy a stress-free and fun time! Thank you very much!

ガイドさんが、運転士さんと相談して、行程やトイレ休憩など臨機応変に対処して下さり、何のストレスもなく、ただ楽しい時間を過ごせました！本当にありがとうございました。

I think the timing of my visit at the end of April, just before Golden Week, was perfect. The pleasant air, bright sunshine, and the tropical flowers in full bloom created a beautiful setting as we slowly moved along the narrow paths lined with traditional houses in a water buffalo cart. It felt like a different world. It was also nice that there were hardly any tourists from overseas.

4月末のゴールデンウイーク前で、訪れた時期も良かったと思います。気持ちのいい空気と明るい日差し、南国の花が咲き乱れる中、伝統的な家屋が立ち並ぶ細い道をゆっくりと進む水牛車。別世界のような美しさでした。押し寄せる海外からの観光客が殆どいなかったのも良かったです。
