All Reviews for Bus Tours

Overall, it was a trip that left little impression. It might be suitable for buying lots of souvenirs. I ended up buying a lot of souvenirs, including a horse placenta cream for about 5,000 yen for my mother-in-law and relatives, all because of the guide's voice saying, "You can only buy this here!"

At the bear ranch, we threw biscuits at the bears below (who seemed bored and didn't eat them), and it was the most boring place where I couldn't really tell what I was looking at.

When the guide started saying, "This bear beauty cream can only be bought here!" I began to wonder if the guide was getting a commission from it.

At Hell Valley, we walked through the sulfur smell, but in the end, there wasn't much to see. The outlet was just average...

In any case, I do not recommend this tour and would like a reconsideration of the route. I don't regret it, but I won't go again. I wonder if it was because my husband is a foreigner that we ended up on the English tour? There were many people of Asian and Indian descent, and it's a mystery whether they were satisfied.

全体的に思い出の薄い旅でした。お土産を沢山買うのには適してるかもです。実際乗せられて沢山お土産を買い「ここでしか買えない！」と言うガイドさんの声で馬のプラセンタ入りのクリーム5千円位のを義母や親戚用に大量購入しました。
くま牧場は下にいるクマめがけてビスケットを投げて(クマも飽き飽きしてるようで食べない)何を見てるのかよくわかんない1番つまらない場所でした。

またもガイドさんが「ここでしか買えないクマの美容クリーム！」と言い出した時にこれはマージンがガイドさんに入ってるのかな？と疑うレベル。

地獄谷では硫黄臭の中歩いて歩いて行きましたが結局大した物もなく。
アウトレットも普通で。。。
とにかくこのツアーはお勧めしないのでルートの再検討をお願いしたいです。
後悔はしてないけど2度と行きません。夫が外国人だから英語のツアーにしたせいなのかな？アジア系とインド系が多くて彼らが満足してるのかは謎です。

The guide explained in both Japanese and English, so my friend who doesn't understand Japanese was able to gain a lot of knowledge. The bus to Shirakawa-go can enter areas where other buses are restricted, which is very convenient. Once you get off, you can immediately line up for the bus to the observation deck. Lunch at a gassho-zukuri farmhouse in Shirakawa-go will be a great memory.

ガイドさんは日本語と英語両方とも説明するから、一緒に行った日本語をわからない友達も色々知識を得ました。白川郷にバスは別のバスが通行止めになってるエリアに入ることがてきるので、すごく便利です。降りたら、すぐに展望台行くバスに並べることがてきる。昼食は白川郷の合掌作り民家に、いい思い出になります。

I definitely wanted to visit Sefa Utaki, and since we could choose from three locations, I picked Miibaru Beach to see the ocean in Okinawa.

There weren't many details about the schedule at Miibaru Beach, so I was wondering how we would spend the two hours.

First, we all boarded a bus to go to Sefa Utaki, and then the participants for Okinawa World, the Valley of Gangala, and Miibaru Beach were dropped off at their respective locations. There was a system in place where they would come back to pick us up at the designated time.

The guide provided detailed explanations about sightseeing methods, recommended walking routes, and delicious food, which was very helpful.

Only the two of us chose Miibaru Beach, and we were dropped off in front of the beach, informed of the pickup time, and then we had free time.

First, we were scheduled to ride a glass-bottom boat. After checking in, the boat would depart once it was full. We shared the boat with other tourists who were not part of the bus tour.

The boat took about 20 minutes to circle around areas where we could see coral and fish in the sea. We were lucky during our trip and were able to see a sea turtle.

When we returned to shore, it was just around lunchtime, so we walked to a restaurant using the pamphlet we received at the boat dock as a reference.

The restaurant was popular, and there was quite a wait, but since we had over an hour until the meeting time, we were able to enjoy the view of the ocean while waiting. When our name was called, we entered the restaurant and ordered bread and drinks; it was a very stylish and lovely place.

After that, we returned to Miibaru Beach to collect shells, take photos, and play in the sea, enjoying our time leisurely.

When the time came, we waited for the bus at the drop-off point, boarded the bus again, and returned to Naha Airport or the Prefectural Office Square with everyone. The timing was perfect, and we were able to proceed to our next plans without any issues.

At the Ocean Expo, everyone except me went to the aquarium, but since I wasn't interested in fish, I went alone to the tropical botanical garden. The orchids were very beautiful and reminded me a lot of the botanical gardens in Singapore. Along the way, I participated in a 30-minute guided tour at Ryukyu Village, where I learned about the life in Ryukyu at that time. Manza Beach was a place where, before the defeat in the war, Okinawa's residents were cornered and threw themselves in, and I joined the tour to confirm that. Okinawa has many traces of the sacrifices made by the nation, and I felt the tragic reality of how not only soldiers but also civilians were caught up in the war, as well as the happiness of living freely and normally now.

海洋博では私以外の方は皆さま水族館に行かれましたが，魚に興味がない私は，一人熱帯植物園に行きました。蘭の花がとてもきれいでした。シンガポールの植物園とよく似ていました。途中，琉球村で30分ガイドに参加して，当時の琉球の生活を勉強しました。万座毛は敗戦前，沖縄の県民が追い詰められ身を投げた地であり，それを確認したくて参加しました。沖縄には国の犠牲になった痕跡がたくさん残っており，当時，軍人はもとより文民達が戦争に巻き込まれた悲惨さ，自分が今不自由なく当たり前に生きていることの幸福を感じ入りました。

You can experience unique activities that are characteristic of the remote islands. You can easily travel by bus or cruise ship and have a great time. The locals are also thinking of various ways to entertain visitors.

離島ならではの体験ができます。バスでの移動やクルーズ船など楽に移動ができて楽しめます。現地の人も楽しませようといろいろ考えてくれています。

The weather wasn't very good, but I was satisfied to finally experience riding a water buffalo cart. During our free time, we went to see the ocean, but since we were on foot and the bus schedule was tight, I regretted that we couldn't relax too much. When we were returning from Taketomi Island to Ishigaki Island, we were waiting at the port for our boat. There was an announcement for the departure of a large ferry, but there was no announcement for our boat at all. Since it was scheduled to depart at the same time as the ferry, it was confusing to distinguish between the line for the ferry and the line for our high-speed boat. We initially lined up in the ferry line and had to hurriedly switch to the correct line. There were several others who seemed just as confused, so I thought it would have been helpful to have announcements.

天気があまり良くなかったのですが、以前から体験したかった水牛車に乗ることができて満足でした。自由時間は海を見に行きましたが、徒歩だったため、バスの時間が迫っており、あまりのんびりはできなかったのが残念でした。竹富島から石垣島へ戻る時、港で船が来るのを待っていたのですが、大きなフェリーの出発の案内はあったのですが、私達が乗る船のアナウンスは全くなく、フェリーと同じ時間の出発だったため、フェリーに乗るための列と私達が乗る高速船の列が分かりにくく、最初フェリーの列に並んでいたので、慌てて正しい列に並び直しました。同じように戸惑っている人が何人もいたので、アナウンスがあると良かったと思います。

The tour was a full day, gathering at 8 AM and dispersing around 7 PM. Despite being busy, there was no wasted time, and I enjoyed stopping at many different places.

8時集合19時解散くらい丸１日のツアーでした。
忙しいながらも無駄な時間はなく色々と沢山の場所に立ち寄れて楽しかったです。

Overall, the time spent at each sightseeing spot was often too long. The winter tour truly felt like a "cold endurance tour," and I was the first to return to the bus.

At Dazaifu Tenmangu, I entered the museum to escape the cold. Despite being famous, Yufuin had few things to see, so I took my time enjoying a meal to pass the time. It was snowing at the top of the ropeway, so I wished I had worn winter boots. Finally, I was able to warm up by soaking my feet in the foot bath at Kamado Jigoku.

I was disillusioned by the warm image of Kyushu, and strengthening my cold weather preparations was a point of reflection.

全体的に各観光地での見学時間が長すぎる事が多かったです。真冬の観光で本当に「寒さに耐えるツアー」となり、真っ先にバスに戻ってしまいました。

太宰府天満宮では博物館に入って寒さをしのぎました。
湯布院は有名な割に見る物は少なく、ゆっくり食事をして時間を持たせました。
ロープウェイで上った先は雪が降っていたので、冬靴で行けば良かったです。
最後のかまど地獄で足湯につかり、ようやく温まることができました。

九州の温暖なイメージを打ち砕かれ、防寒対策強化が反省点でした。

The tour from Ishigaki was great for a day trip without any stress. Exploring Yufu Island at my own pace was enjoyable, and the water buffalo cart ride allowed me to relax and listen to songs. The guide on the boat in Nakama River showed us the mangrove forest and the wild birds. It was wonderful.

石垣からのツアーですが、無理なく日帰りでよかったです。由布島の散策はマイペースで、水牛車はのんびりと唄を聞けて、仲間川のボートのガイドさんはマングローブの林と野鳥を案内してくれました。良かったです。

I was able to make a reservation right on my birthday. The kind guide who provided constant assistance on the bus, the waiter who served us with care, the chef who put their heart into the dishes, and the driver who drove safely—all of it was wonderful, and I was extremely satisfied. It was the best birthday ever. Thank you so much♡ I would love to participate again.

ちょうどお誕生日の日に、申込みが出来ました。
車内でずっと案内をしてくださる優しいガイドさん、丁寧に接客してくださるウエイターさん、シェフの真心が込めたお料理、安全に運転してくださるドライバーさん、全てが素晴らしくて、大満足でした。
最高のお誕生日になりました。
本当にありがとうございました♡
また参加したいです。

I participated in early January. I'm glad I joined the tour. It was truly a great way to experience the Yaeyama Islands. It would have been very difficult for us to explore so many places in such depth on our own. Every part was enjoyable, but the mangrove cruise was particularly impressive; the guide's explanations were very skillful and full of intelligence, making it a great learning experience.

Additionally, on Yubu Island, I learned about the history of pioneering while fighting malaria. On the day of the tour, it was quite windy, and many people were buying and wearing raincoats. Even though it's a southern island, it's essential to prepare for the cold.

The iconic water buffalo carts of Yubu Island had some staff whose communication skills varied, leading to some minor issues. Considering all of this, let's just embrace the experience of sightseeing in the southern islands.

1月上旬に参加。ツアーに参加して良かったです。まさに八重山諸島のいいとこどりです。自分たちではこれほと内容濃く、多くの場所を観光することはとても困難です。どこも楽しかったのですが、マングローブクルーズは、ガイドさんの説明がとても上手かつインテリジェンスにあふれ、大変勉強になりました。
また、由布島では、マラリアと闘いながらの開拓の歴史について学びました。
当日は風が強く、途中でレインコートを買って着ている人が多く、南の島とはいえ、防寒対策は必須です。
八重山の象徴的な由布島の水牛車ですが、人にもよるのでしょうが、ずいぶんと話し方が悪いスタッフもおられ、小さなトラブルが生じていました。そういうこと含め、南の島の観光と割り切りましょう。

I'm glad I was able to get an overview, but I really felt the presence of many Chinese tourists. There was a Chinese tourist who lost their wallet and passport, but a local Chinese guide from Sapporo, who was in a hurry, found them and handed them back. The tourist accepted them calmly, without any expression of gratitude. Frankly, I couldn't help but think that in their home country, they might not have gotten them back or could have been robbed.

　取り敢えず概要だけでも知ることが出来て良かったですが、中国人の多さを肌に感じました。財布とパスポートを落とされた中国人の観光客がいらっしゃいましたが、焦って入らした札幌在住の中国人のガイドさんが探して本人に渡されていましたが、平然と受け取っていました。感謝の念が有りませんでしたね。失礼ながら、母国でしたら戻って来ないかお金を抜き取られているのではと、思います。

It was a half-day tour, but I was able to visit the desired Gyokusendo Cave. It was mystical and amazing. I had a wonderful experience. Additionally, the explanations from the tour guide were very good.

半日観光でしたが、目的の玉泉洞見学が出来ました。神秘的で凄かった。素晴らしい体験が出来ました。また、添乗のガイドさんの説明も大変良かったです。

I had more fun than I expected even as a solo participant. The local guide's explanations were easy to understand and interesting. I was surprised that such a different world still exists today.

1人参加でも思っていた以上に楽しかったです
現地ガイドさんも説明がわかりやすく面白かった
現在もこの様な異世界が残っている事に驚きました

I arrived early at the meeting point and waited, but no one came to call me. I asked the guide of another tour bus, and they informed me that the group had already departed. I realized I had missed a call on my phone and hurriedly made contact. Fortunately, I was told that if I took a taxi to the final meeting point, I would make it in time, and I did.

The guide seemed to be very experienced and provided a very polite and easy-to-understand explanation, which made me very satisfied.

集合場所に早めに行き待っていましたが、呼びにきてもらう事がなく、別のツアーのバスのガイドさんに聞くて、もう出発済みの事。携帯に電話があったのに気がつがず慌てて連絡しました。幸い最後の集合場所にタクシーで来れば間に合うといわれ向かい間に合いました。
ガイドさんはベテランらしくとても丁寧でわかりやすい案内をされて、とても満足でした。

In mid-January, I participated in this bus tour, and out of 47 people on the bus, 40 were from China. Each time we departed from different locations, there was about a minute of explanation in Japanese, but afterwards, the conversation continued in Chinese for 20-30 minutes. It created quite an alien atmosphere, and I constantly felt out of place on the bus. If this is such a foreigner-oriented tour, I would have appreciated being informed of this in advance as a precaution.

Additionally, outside the bus, I experienced behaviors such as people cutting in line and persistently pushing to get ahead during the lineup, which even caused some people to fall.

Throughout the tour, I often felt anxious and disappointed, but the personality of the driver and the guide was very good, and it was nice that they generally adhered to the scheduled departure times.

1月中旬こちらのバスツアーに参加し、バス車内47人中40名が中国の方でした。
各地出発の度に1分程度日本語で説明がありますが、その後は20-30分ほど中国語でのお話が続きます。かなりアウェイな雰囲気で、車内では常に肩身の狭い思いをしました。
これほど外国人向けツアーであるならば、注意事項として事前に教えていただきたく思いました。

また、車外でも列に割り込む、整列時も前に入るため執拗に押す等の行為を受け、転ぶ人が出るほどでした。

終始心細く残念な気持ちになることが多かったですが、運転手さんやガイドさんのお人柄は非常によく、基本的に定刻出発が守られており気持ちがよかったです。

I will be sightseeing with various people from overseas. Sometimes, there might be only one Japanese person like me. The guide communicates equally with everyone, providing the same information in both English and Japanese, which is reassuring. I chose this tour because my first choice was fully booked, but I was able to visit the classic sightseeing spots in one day and make effective use of my time. Being able to ask about recommended souvenirs and have my questions answered is something unique to guided tours.

色んな海外の方々と一緒に観光します。時には私のように日本人は1人なんて時もあるかもしれません。ガイドさんが平等にコミュニケーションとってくださるので、同じ案内を英語と日本語で案内してくれます。安心です。第一希望のツアーが満席か？でこちらに決めましたが1日で定番の観光地を巡れて時間も有効に使えました。おすすめのお土産をたずねたり、質問に対応してもらえるのはガイドさんつきツアーならではです。

Sapporo, our departure point, had little snow, but Asahiyama Zoo was a winter wonderland at -6 degrees, truly representing Hokkaido! Although it was a freezing world, as long as you dress warmly, the cold is not bothersome. The zoo was a place where I could watch the active animals for hours. We had just over three hours there, but it flew by as we ate and browsed for souvenirs. For those with children, it's best to start with the must-see attractions! The kids' snow play can slow you down quite a bit. The polar bears and seals are located on the opposite side from the main entrance, so it takes time to get there. The return trip on the highway was exhausting due to many road closures, taking nearly five hours, but I'm grateful for being safely delivered on the snowy roads without any accidents.

出発地の札幌は雪が少なかったんですが、旭山動物園は雪で-6度、これぞ北海道！！という天候でよかったです。マイナスの世界ですがきちんと防寒すれば気にならない寒さでした。動物園も活発な動物の動きに何時間でもみていたい場所でした。3時間ちょっと滞在時間はありましたが、ごはんを食べたりおみやげを見たりしているとあっという間でした。子供がいる方はこれは絶対見たい！ってところから回るといいです。子供の雪遊びでなかなか前に進めません。しろくまやアザラシは団体入口とは正反対の場所にいるので行くのに時間がかかります。
帰りの高速道路は通行止めが多く5時間近くかかり疲れましたが、事故なく雪道を安全に送り届けてくれたことに感謝です。

On the day of the trip, it was drizzling from the morning.

First, we took a ferry to Iriomote Island. We then traveled by bus to the spot where we could ride the water buffalo to Yubu Island. The bus guide was fantastic, and we had a fun time filled with laughter.

Finally, we got to ride the water buffalo to Yubu Island, which was a long-awaited experience. The water buffalo was very cute, and we crossed over to Yubu Island while listening to shamisen music, which made me truly feel that I was in Okinawa.

Yubu Island is quite small, so we were able to do some quick sightseeing.

Next, we took a sightseeing boat to explore the mangroves. Unfortunately, it was raining quite heavily, and the rain cover made it a bit difficult to see.

By the time we arrived at Taketomi Island, the rain and wind were intense, and we couldn't enjoy the island much. Since we had signed up for a free walk plan, there was no guide on-site, and I felt that it was difficult to sightsee in bad weather.

I hear that Taketomi Island has beautiful beaches, so I definitely want to come back when the weather is nice next time!

当日は朝からしとしと雨が降っていました。

まずはフェリーで西表島へ。
由布島へいく水牛のスポットまでバスで移動でした。
バスガイドのおじさんのトークが素晴らしく、笑いが絶えない楽しい時間でした。

そして念願の水牛に乗って由布島へ。
水牛はとても可愛く、三味線の音楽を聴きながら由布島へ渡りましたが、沖縄に来たんだなぁと改めて実感しました。

由布島はかなり小さい島なのでサクッと観光できました。

その次は遊覧船でマングローブを観光しました。
かなり雨が降っていたので、雨除けのカバーが付いており、少し見づらかったのが残念でした。

竹富島に着く頃には雨と風が激しく、あまり島を楽しむことができませんでした。
私たちはフリーウォークプランに申し込んでいたので、現地でガイドさんがおらず、天候が悪いと観光するのが難しいなと感じました。

竹富島も綺麗なビーチがあるみたいなので、次回は是非天気が良いときに来てみたいなと思います！

The guide's extensive knowledge and hospitality towards customers, along with the driver's safe driving, made for a thoroughly satisfying day trip. I will definitely use this service again when visiting another location.

ガイドさんの知識の多さとお客様に対するおもてなし
ドライバーさんの安全運転と
充分に 満足できるday trip でした。
是非また別の場所に行った際も利用させて頂きます。

It was unfortunately rainy, but I was still able to enjoy it to the fullest! The Korean guide was also very dedicated and shared a lot of interesting information.

生憎の雨でしたがその中でも最大限にたのしめました！韓国人のガイドさんも一生懸命にお話してくれてよかったです

Mr. Kan's way of speaking was polite, and his heartfelt dedication to his work was wonderful. He was working hard even in bad weather.

案内の金さんの話し方が丁寧で、とても心のこもったお仕事ぶりが素晴らしいでした。悪天候の中でも一生懸命働いていらっしゃいました。

The departure from the bus terminal in front of Ishigaki Port was convenient, as the highlights were well-organized. It's nice to hear the guide's stories instead of driving a rental car. The guide who led my tour seemed to be studying the sanshin and even performed for us. I participated in a day tour to another remote island, and compared to that, I think the lunch was good for the price.

石垣港前のバスターミナルより出発、見どころがまとまっていて便利でした。レンタカーで行くよりガイドさんのお話も聞けます。私が参加した時のガイドさんは三線を勉強されている様で演奏してくださりました。別の離島で一日ツアーへ参加しましたが比べるとランチは、この金額でよかったかと思います。

Winter is cold and tough for humans, but the animals are very lively and full of energy, which was a lot of fun. I recommend winter over summer!

冬は寒くて人間は大変ですが、動物達はとても元気で生き生きしていて、とても楽しかったです。私は夏より冬がおすすめです！

The mangrove boat tour had attentive guidance and was filled with real-time information about the arrival of birds. The bus driver on Iriomote Island shared very interesting stories, making for a time filled with laughter. The water buffalo cart tour to Yubu Island was a wonderful experience that healed me with the sound of the sanshin and the unique personalities and paces of each buffalo, allowing me to forget the busyness of everyday life. On Taketomi Island, I was efficiently shown the tourist spots, but I wished I could have taken a bit more time to relax.

マングローブのボート散策は案内が丁寧で鳥の飛来などリアルタイムの情報も満載でした。西表島のバスの運転手さんのお話がとても面白く笑い声の絶えないひとときでした。由布島への水牛車ツアーは、三線の音色とそれぞれの牛さんの性格や歩みに癒され、日常の慌ただしさを忘れさせてくれる素敵な体験でした。竹富島は観光スポットを効率よく案内してもらいましたが、もう少しゆっくりできたらいいなと思いました。

We booked a bus tour with minimal travel burden for our first trip to Hokkaido with kids, and it was definitely the right choice!

What impressed me the most was the bus guide's stories about Hokkaido's history and culture during the journey. I learned so many things I didn't know, and it was truly an enjoyable time! I fell even more in love with Hokkaido!

The driver's skills were excellent, and we arrived at our destination without feeling sick! It was the best tour!

子連れで初めての北海道、しかも冬ということで、移動負担の少ないバスツアーを申し込みましたが、大正解でした！

そして何より感動したのが、移動中のバスガイドさんの北海道の歴史や文化のお話です。知らなかったことを色々と聞けて、本当に楽しい時間でした！北海道が一層好きになりました！

運転手さんの運転もお上手で、酔わずに目的地まで着けました！最高のツアーでした！

I have long wanted to visit Takachiho someday. Since it was a difficult place to visit on my own, I decided to use this tour. I was aware from the reviews that there were many foreign travelers, and indeed, most of the customers were foreigners. However, the guide was multilingual and provided guidance in several languages, and everyone I toured with, as well as the staff, were kind, so I didn't encounter any particular difficulties. Although it was a tour in bad weather, we departed and arrived almost on time, and I believe I had a very good trip. Thank you!

高千穂への旅いつか行ってみたいと長年思い続けていました。
個人で伺うには大変な場所だったので今回こちらのツアーを利用しました。
口コミを確認して外国人旅行者が多いことは把握しておりましたが、本当に外国人のお客様ばかりでした。
ですが、ガイドの方が語学堪能で多国語でガイドされたり、ご一緒にツアーに回られた方々は皆様もスタッフの方も親切で特段困ることもありませんでした。
悪天候の中のツアーでしたが、
出発も到着もほぼ定刻で無事に終わり、とてもいい旅ができたと思っております。
ありがとうございます!

The photos on the website look like they are adorned with shimmering rainbow lights. However, in reality, there are spotlights shining on key areas, illuminating the gassho-zukuri architecture.

Either way, it's enchanting and beautiful, but if you visit expecting the kind of illumination shown in the website photos, you might be disappointed.

ホームページの写真はまるで七色にきらめくイルミネーションがほどこされているかのような画像。でも実際は要所要所でスポットライトが当たって、合掌造りを照明が照らしてるという感じ。
どちらにせよ幻想的で素敵なのですが、ホームページの写真のようなイルミネーションを期待して現地に行くと、がっかりしてしまうかもしれません。

The tour guide was friendly and had a sweet smile. I knew when signing up that it would only be in Japanese, so I was mentally prepared. It would have been even better if there were explanations in Chinese! I had some questions in the past, and the email replies were very quick, so I will definitely sign up again next time I have the chance.
