All Reviews for Bus Tours

The bus journey takes you to the destination, which is appreciated. However, the stay at each location is only about 30 minutes, making it a rushed trip. Nonetheless, it seems that every place has its ups and downs; the souvenir shops and surrounding areas were quite deserted. Showa Shinzan and Lake Toya had a moderate level of liveliness.

On the day of participation, it was cloudy with occasional sunshine, but unfortunately, it rained at Lake Shikotsu, and I couldn't see the beautiful Shikotsu Blue, which was disappointing.

The guide was from China, but they spoke Japanese very well and provided an enjoyable tour. It was a fun day. Thank you.

バスの旅は現地まで連れて行って下さるので有難いです。
ただ、滞在時間が各所共に30分程なので駆け足旅になります。が、しかし、何処の場所も栄枯盛衰なのか、
お土産屋さんなど、周辺は閑散としていました。
昭和新山、洞爺湖はまぁまぁな賑やかさ。

参加当日は曇りで、時々陽が差す感じ、最後の支笏湖は雨になってしまい、せっかくの支笏湖ブルーが見られなかったのが残念でした。

ガイドさんが中国の方でしたが、日本語もお上手で楽しくガイドしてくださいました。
楽しい一日でした。
ありがとうございます。

I chose a free walk on Taketomi Island. Since I went during a hot season, I realized the importance of staying hydrated. Even just strolling around, it's essential to keep hydrated, so there are a few places to eat and drink on the island, but make sure to carry your own drinks as well. This is especially important for those with small children!

竹富島でフリーウォークを選びました。暑い時期にいったので、こまめな水分補給の大切さを痛感しました。ぶらぶら歩いてるだけでも水分補給がかかせないので飲食のお店も数店島内にはありますが、自分で飲物しっかり持ち歩きましょう。小さいお子様連れの方々は尚更です！

I used this service on the last day of my solo trip. Perhaps because it was the week before a holiday, there were only seven participants, so we were able to enjoy the bus comfortably.

The guide's explanations were easy to understand, which was great. Although it was only half a day, we were fortunate with the weather and were able to enjoy the beautiful sea at Kabira Bay and the views from Tamatorizaki Observatory. I think I wouldn't have been able to see everything so efficiently if I had rented a car alone, so I'm glad I participated. It was also nice that we could drop off at the airport (since the outbound trip was packed and we headed from the airport to the city).

1人旅の最終日に利用させて頂きました。
連休の前の週の利用の為か参加者7人で、バスもゆったり利用させていただけました。

ガイドさんの説明がわかりやすくてよかったです。
半日ですが、お天気にもめぐまれたため川平湾のきれいな海や玉取先展望台からの景色も楽しむことができました。
1人でレンタカーだとこんなに効率よくは見て回れなかったと思いますので参加してよかったと思います。
空港でおりる事ができたのもよかったと思います。（往路はぎゅうぎゅうの満員状態で空港から街中へ向かいましたので）

Basically, the announcements are in foreign languages for foreign visitors. There was no problem receiving individual guidance in Japanese. I was very satisfied with the many sightseeing spots I was able to visit.

基本的には外国人向けの為、アナウンスは外国語です。個別で日本語で案内頂き何の問題もありませんでした。盛りだくさんの観光スポットに行けて大変満足です。

I appreciate the consideration of the tour guide. It was extremely challenging due to the sudden thunderstorm, but I was able to endure it.

ツアーの添乗員の方の気遣いに感謝します。突然の雷雨のため物凄く大変でしたが我慢することができました。

I'm glad I found a bus tour that allows you to visit multiple places in half a day. Since my flight was in the evening, I didn't have much time for sightseeing. It was more efficient and reasonable than going around on my own.

半日で何箇所も回れるバスツアーが見つかって良かったです。この日は夕方発の飛行機だったのであまり観光に時間が取れなかったからです。個人で回るより効率が良くてリーズナブルでした

I searched for a tour that could be done even in the rain and booked this one! I was able to visit many places in one day and thoroughly enjoyed it! The bus guide was also very kind. Thank you!

雨でもできるツアーを探しこちらを予約しました！
一日で沢山周れて行きたいところに行けて満喫できました！
バスガイドさんも親切でした。ありがとございました！

On July 24th, we departed from Sapporo and visited Noboribetsu Hell Valley, Cape Chikyu, Lake Toya, Showa Shinzan, and finally Lake Shikotsu. It was a very enjoyable day. I was impressed by Sho's wonderful trilingual explanations, and I would love to participate again if I have the opportunity!

7月24日札幌発、 登別地獄谷、地球岬、洞爺湖、昭和新山、最後は支笏湖も訪問、とても楽しい1日でした
紹さん素晴らしい三ヶ国語の説明は感動しました、いつか機会があればまた参加したいと思います♪

I used the service because I had half a day free and couldn't drive.

On the way there, I was picked up at a designated location, and on the way back, I was dropped off at my accommodation.

Yakusugi Land is quite far, and I think it took nearly 30 minutes by car.

The guide drove and walked with us while explaining things on-site.

The winding mountain road is relatively long, so I felt a bit nauseous. Those who are prone to motion sickness should be cautious.

半日空いているプラス車に乗れなかったため、利用しました。

行きは指定場所で拾ってもらい、帰りは宿まで送って頂けました。

ヤクスギランドまではそこそこ遠く、車で30分近かったと思います。

ガイドの方が運転、現地で説明しながら一緒に歩いてくれます。

途中の山道がうねっている、かつ割と長い道のりのため、若干酔いそうになりました。酔いやすい人は注意です。

The tour guide spoke Japanese, Chinese, and English fluently, and shared very enjoyable stories with some jokes. They provided information about meals, souvenirs, and detailed histories of tourist spots, and their actions were prompt and impressive. In the dining area, they helped at the restaurant and quickly brought out the prepared dishes, even taking the initiative to snap photos for everyone. They seemed to be Chinese, but they were the best tour guide I've had so far! There were one-third Japanese participants, with many from China and a few from English-speaking countries, and the guide made sure everyone could communicate in their own language without any issues. There were no delays in gathering times, and the bus was very quiet and problem-free. The sightseeing was abundant; while each stop might have been brief, it was perfect for those who want to visit many places! The driver was also very skilled, and the bus was clean and spacious, which was great. However, there were a few transfers that took about an hour and a half, so I recommend using the restroom as soon as we arrive at each location. It was a tour that exceeded the price, and I would like to use it again when I visit Hokkaido.

添乗員さんは日本語、中国語、英語を巧みにお話されて、ジョークも入れながらすごく楽しいお話でした。食事やお土産情報、観光地の詳しい歴史などもお話され、行動もテキパキと素晴らしい添乗でした。食堂でもお店の手伝いをして出来上がった料理をどんどん運んでいらして、写真も撮りますよ～と率先して皆さんの写真のシャッターを押してました。中国の方のようですが、今までの添乗員さんの中で一番でした！日本人は1/3、あとは中国の方が多く、英語圏の方も少数いらして、皆さんにその国の言葉で困らないよう気づかいされてました。集合時間の遅れもなく、バス内もとても静かで問題なかったです。観光の方も盛り沢山で一ヶ所一ヶ所は短めかもしれませんが、とにかく色々沢山観光地を巡りたい方には最高です！運転手さんもとっても運転が上手でバスも綺麗で大きくて良かったです。ただ、何ヵ所か一時間半くらいの移動もあったので、必ず到着他ではまずトイレを済ませることをお勧めします。お値段以上のツアーでしたので北海道に行った際はまた利用したいと思います。

You can go individually, but considering the distance and efficiency, I decided to join a bus tour. In conclusion, it was definitely the right choice!

The itinerary went as planned, and we had several bathroom breaks. I didn't know about the Biei Roller Coaster until I joined this tour, but it was a hidden gem. If you go by bus, you might just pass by, so I hope to visit again slowly by car next time.

One of the highlights was the Blue Pond. Many other tours visit in the afternoon, so being able to go in the morning was a key factor for me. We were blessed with good weather, and the scenery was very satisfying, just as I had hoped!

The buffet surprised me with a melon starter, but considering the cost performance, it might actually be quite reasonable! The buffet included Hokkaido-style dishes like Genghis Khan and soup curry. There weren't a huge number of options, but I felt satisfied after going back for food two or three times.

At the Colorful Hill, there were lavender fields and seasonal flowers blooming, giving that summer Hokkaido vibe!

I also didn't know about Ningle Terrace until I joined this tour, but there were many cute shops quietly nestled in the forest, and I was able to take lots of photos!

The tour was mainly in Chinese and English (with an overseas tour guide), and the explanations in Japanese were focused on key points, but the tour guide spoke Japanese very well, so I had no complaints about the language.

個人で行くこともできますが、移動距離もあり、効率も考えてバスツアー に参加させていただきました。
結論としましては参加して正解でした！

工程は予定通りで、トイレ休憩もちょこちょこ挟んでいただけます。
美瑛ジェットコースターはこのツアーに参加するまで知らなかったのですが、穴場の観光地でした。バスだとスッと通り過ぎてしまうので次回は自家用車でゆっくり行けたらいいなー。

目玉の一つの青い池。他のツアーでは午後訪問が多く、このツアーは午前に行けることが決め手の一つでした。
天気にも恵まれ、期待通りとても満足できる景色でした！

ビュッフェは、メロンスタートでちょっと驚きましたが、コスパ考えますと意外と合理的かもしれません！笑　ビュッフェはジンギスカンかスープカレーなどの北海道っぽいものもあります。品数ご少ないわけではないのですが、2〜3回取りに行ったら満足かなーという感じでした。

色彩の丘ではラベンダー畑と、季節の花が咲いていて、ザ夏の北海道！という感じでした！！

ニングルテラスもこのツアーに参加するまで知らなかったのですが、森の中にひっそり佇むかわいいお店がたくさんあってたくさん写真撮れました！

ツアーは中国語、英語メイン(海外添乗員さん)で、日本語での説明はポイントを絞っての解説でしたが、日本語が大変お上手な添乗員さんで言葉の不満もありませんでした。

I joined the tour after 4 PM. I was worried about the heat, but the bus provided mist and distributed cooling sheets, making it a comfortable hour. Since I arrived in Osaka right before the tour, I was able to get a good sense of locations like Midosuji, Tsutenkaku, and Abeno Harukas, which helped with my sightseeing the next day. The bus slowed down at key points, so I didn't miss anything, and the guide was very attentive and provided excellent explanations. It was a lot of fun.

16時すぎからの参加でした。暑さが心配でしたがバスからはミストが出て、冷却シートの配布もあり快適な1時間でした。大阪についてすぐの利用ということもあり御堂筋や通天閣、あべのハルカス等だいたいのロケーションがわかり翌日からの観光に役立ちました。バスは要所要所で減速してくださり見逃すことなく、またガイドさんも丁寧で説明もとてもとても良かったです。楽しかったです。

I chose this course at my grandchild's request.
The guide was kind, and the safe driving made for a pleasant sightseeing experience.
If I had to say something, I would be happier if the children's fare were a bit cheaper. ☺️

孫のリクエストでこのコースを選びました。
優しいガイドさん、安全運転で、気持ちの良い観光となりました。
しいていえば、こども料金がもう少しお安いと嬉しいです☺️

- Departing from Ishigaki Port to Ohara Port. The boat speeds along, but due to its structure, it doesn't sway much. If you're worried, sit near the middle at the back.

- Iriomote Island Mangrove Cruise. Since it was almost high tide, we toured through submerged forests. Although I couldn't see the mangrove forest I was hoping for, it's not every day you get to see a submerged forest up close, so that was interesting. The boat captain made a lot of negative comments like, "You usually see XX here," and "The water is murky, so you can't see well." Well, I can see that! Please don't add to the disappointment. Let's develop experiences that can only be enjoyed at high tide. I recommend sitting on the right side. Make sure to use the restroom before boarding at Ohara Port.

- Taking the bus to the water buffalo cart station. The bus driver was entertaining, and before I knew it, we arrived at the water buffalo cart station.

- Riding the water buffalo cart to Yufu Island. As mentioned, it was almost high tide, but the water buffalo did a great job pulling us, and we arrived.

- Visiting Yufu Island, lunchtime. Lunch can be eaten cold, so it's fine to explore the island first. It might be a bit early right after arrival. As you walk around the island, you'll reach the coast, but be careful where you step to avoid stepping on hermit crabs.

- From Ohara Port to Taketomi Port. After returning on the water buffalo cart, we took the bus to Ohara Port. Thank you to the driver for the enjoyable stories along the way.

- Activity – Rental Bicycles. I signed up for the rental bicycle plan, but it was a big mistake. The rental shop affiliated with this tour has no shade or restroom, just a ramshackle shed. The staff were unfriendly and just provided basic instructions. There are much better rental bicycle companies on the island, so it's better to book the "Free Walk on Taketomi Island" plan and arrange for a separate rental bicycle company. Most offer pick-up service (reservation required). Watching a mother skillfully ride a mama-chari while the father struggles to keep up is amusing. I also struggled on a bicycle for the first time in decades. Riding around, I felt satisfied as it truly felt like the original scenery of Okinawa.

Overall, this tour was enjoyable, but I definitely recommend avoiding the rental bicycle plan. Taking the extra step to book with another rental bicycle company will lead to a higher satisfaction level.

・石垣港出発。石垣港から大原港
高速でぶっ飛ばすが、構造上大して揺れない。心配なら後部中央付近の座席へ

・西表島・仲間川マングローブクルーズ
ほぼ満潮だったので水没した林の遊覧でした。期待したマングローブの林を見られなかったが、日常水没した林を間近で見ることはないのでそれはそれで。
船頭さん、ネガティブ発言が多い。「ここでは普段○○が見えるんだけど」「水が濁っててよく見えないですね」等々。いゃいゃ、そんな事見れば分かりますって。ガッカリ感に追い打ちをかけないでもらいたい。もっと満潮時にしか体験できない事を開発しましょう。
座席は右側がお勧め。大原港へ着く前にトイレを済まして乗り込もう。

・バスで水牛車乗り場へ
バスの運転士さん、説明が面白く、なるほどって頷いているうちに水牛車乗り場へ。

・水牛車で由布島へ
前述の通りほぼ満潮だったのだが、水牛さんが頑張って引いてくれて到着

・由布島見学、ランチタイム
昼食は冷めてても問題ないので島を見学後でも良いでしょう。到着直後はちょっと早い。
島内を見学しながら歩いて行くと海岸に出ますが、その際足元に注意しましょう。ヤドカリさんを踏みつぶさないように。

・大原港から竹富港へ
水牛車に乗って戻り、バスで大原港へ。運転士さん、その間も楽しい話ありがとぅ。

・アクティビティ～レンタサイクル
今回レンタサイクルプランを申し込んだが。これが大失敗。このツアーの提携レンタサイクル屋は、日除けもなければトイレもない掘っ立て小屋のレンタサイクル屋。スタッフも愛想も糞もなく事務的に案内してるだけ。
島内にはもっとましなレンタサイクル業者が沢山あるので、「竹富島でフリーウォーク」プランで申し込み、別途レンタサイクル業者の申し込みをしましょう。どこも送迎付きです。（当然要予約）
島内の観光はママチャリの母親が颯爽と乗りこなしている後をお父さんがヨロヨロ付いていく様子が面白い。自分も数十年振りの自転車に四苦八苦。
自転車で周ってみるとなるほど、沖縄の原風景って感じで満足。

とまぁ、このツアーはこんな感じ。他は楽しかったがレンタサイクルプランは絶対止めたほうが良い。ひと手間かけて他のレンタサイクル業者を予約したほうが満足度は高い。

Since we participated from Naha, we departed just after 8:20 and disbanded close to 8 in the evening. I would like to reduce the number of sightseeing spots along the way and focus on the Churaumi Aquarium as the main attraction, which would be sufficient for satisfaction. A nearly 12-hour duration is tiring.

那覇から参加だったので８時20分過ぎから出発、夜も８時近くに解散。
途中の見学地、少し減らし、美ら海水族館メインのツアーで十分満足という設定にしてほしい。
12時間近い所要時間は疲れる

My mom (in her 60s) participated in a bus tour and said she had a great time. The scenery was very beautiful, and I highly recommend it.

The guide (Ikuko) was very kind, always smiling when she spoke, and she was a really lovely woman. She clearly explained the course as well. During the walk, she took my mom along and took pictures for her. We are very grateful for her help.

At one point, my mom accidentally dropped her clothes in the restroom, and the guide contacted us and helped find them, for which we were very thankful. The driver was also very skilled at driving.

It was a fun trip.

ママ(60代)はバスツアーを参加して、楽しく過ごしたと言われました。
景色もとても綺麗で、おすすめです。

ガイドさん(郁さん)もすごく優しくて、話するときにこにこして、とても可愛い女性でした。コースもはっきり説明していただきました。
散歩中にママを連れていて、ママに写真を撮ってくれました。お世話になりました。
途中でママが洋服をお手洗いに落としちゃって、ガイドさんが連絡して見つけてくれて、大変感謝致しました。
運転手さんも運転がしっかりしてました。

楽しい旅行でした。

I had anticipated this since I checked the reviews in advance, but the Japanese explanation only included the travel time to the destination and recommended foods at that location, with no explanation about the tourist sites at all. The same goes for the English. The explanation in Chinese was lengthy and extremely unpleasant.

The French person sitting next to me on the bus was also quite angry.

Is proper training provided? I used to work for a travel agency, and there are no tours like this. It's terrible. Please only conduct tours for Chinese tourists.

事前に口コミをチェックしていたので、予測しておりましたが　日本語の説明は目的地までの所要時間　その場所でおすすめの食べ物のみ　観光地についての説明一切なし。
英語も同様。中国語では説明が長く凄く不快な思いをしました。
バスで隣に座っていたフランス人もかなりお怒りでした。

きちんとした研修はされていますか。私も旅行会社に勤務しておりましたがこのようなツアーはありません。酷すぎる。
中国人相手にだけツアーを催行してください。

- The jump site was overwhelmingly impressive, and I was glad to experience the steep slopes that exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended.
- Being healed by the sheep is even better if the weather is nice. The lavender is also beautiful at this time of year.
- I appreciate that there are no tours departing at this time, and I hope to see more afternoon tours like this.
- I think it's questionable to label the tour content as it mostly just passes by without much meaning from the car window. I would like to see a stop, even for a short time, to take a look.

・ジャンプ場は圧倒的な迫力で、想像以上の急勾配を目の前にして行けて良かった。オススメ。
・羊たちに癒されるもお天気が良ければ尚◯。
時期的に何気にラベンダーもキレイ
・行程として、この時間帯発のツアーはないので有難い。このような午後発ツアーは増やしてほしい。
・車窓から、はほとんど意味がないくらい通過するだけで、ツアー内容に銘打つのはいかがなものかと思う。
少しの時間でも下車して見せてほしい。

I didn't find Ryukyu Village necessary. It was an old facility with not much to see. If the ticket price is 2,000 yen, I would have preferred to either reduce the tour cost or allow more time to stay at Banta Cafe. While it might be worth it for foreigners, I felt it wasn't a tourist spot worth visiting without a tour, as it seemed deserted. The spots where I could feel the nature and grandeur, like Churaumi Aquarium, Manzamo, and Banta Cafe, were enough. The time spent there was too long and tiring. The bus guide was good.

琉球村はいらなかった。古い施設であまり観るものもなかった。チケット代2000円もするなら、この分ツアー代を安くするか、その時間をバンタカフェで長く滞在させて欲しかったです。外国人ならまだしもツアーでないと、さびれててわざわざ行く観光スポットでは無いと感じた。美ら海水族館や万座毛、バンタカフェの自然や雄大さを感じれるスポットだけで良かった。時間も長過ぎて疲れた。バスガイドさんは良かった。

The guide explained in Japanese, English, and Chinese, which was great. The explanations included jokes, making it enjoyable. Even Japanese people had fun.

ガイドの人が日本語、英語、中国語で説明してくれるので、良かったです。
冗談も交えながらの説明で、楽しかったです。
日本人でも楽しめました。

I participated in late July. As others have mentioned, there were few Japanese participants, about 20%. The majority were of Chinese descent, making up 70%, with the remaining 10% from other backgrounds. The guide was also of Chinese descent and explained the itinerary and highlights in three languages: Japanese, English, and Chinese. While some others commented negatively about the large number of inbound tourists, on the day I attended, there were no ill-mannered individuals, and I did not experience anything particularly unpleasant.

However, as mentioned earlier, the guide repeated the same content three times (in Japanese, English, and Chinese), which might feel lengthy and annoying to some.

What concerned me was that the bus was going quite fast, even on mountain roads. Since this tour covers many popular tourist spots, it seems there is a time constraint, and the driver may have no choice but to speed. I think the itinerary should be reconsidered.

7月下旬に参加しました。他の方も書かれている通り、日本人の参加者は少なく2割ほどでした。中華系の方々が7割、その他1割で満員でした。カイドの方も中華系の方で日英中の3か国語で行程や見所などを説明されていた。他の方の意見にはインバウンド客が多く、否定的なコメントもあったが、私が参加した日はマナーの悪い方はおらず、特に不快なことはなかった。
ただ前記の通り、ガイドさんの説明が同じ内容を×3(日英中)でするので、時間が長く鬱陶しく感じる人もいるかもしれない。
私が気になったのはバスがかなりスピードを出し飛ばしていたこと。山道でさえかなりのスピードでした。このツアーは人気観光地を多く廻るため、時間的に無理があり、ドライバーさんもやむなくスピードを出さざる得ないのだろう。行程は再考した方が良い。

The course had a wealth of sightseeing spots, and we were blessed with good weather; everywhere was lovely. However, it seemed that the guide was Chinese, and at first, they explained in Japanese, Chinese, and English, but then they started explaining only in Chinese for a long time. It seemed like they were quite talkative, and the continuous flow of unfamiliar words in Chinese made me feel a bit uncomfortable.

The next day, on a different bus tour, I was able to listen to explanations in Japanese, English, Chinese, and Korean through earphones, so I could enjoy the explanations in Japanese only, which made the following tour very pleasant. This bus tour was quite tiring, perhaps because I had to listen to so much Chinese.

コースとしては、豊富な見学場所があり、天候にも恵まれて、どこも素敵でした。
ただ、ガイドさんが中国の方の様で、最初は日本語・中国語・英語で説明したのですが、途中から中国語だけで長く説明をされていました。
とにかく良く話す方のようで、中国語がずっと長い時間流れていて、聞きなれない言葉なので少し不快に感じました。
翌日に別のバスツアーで、イヤフォンで日本語・英語・中国語・韓国語で説明を聞くことができるものだったので、日本語だけの説明を聞くことができて、翌日の別のツアーはとても気分が良かったです。
今回のバスツアーは、中国語ばかり聞かされたこともあったのか、とても疲れました。

Driver Yoshida and tour guide Noda were amazing! Their explanations at each point were easy to understand. Thank you very much.

I definitely want to use your services again when I come to Kanazawa.

運転手の吉田さんさん、添乗員の野田さん、最高でした！ポイント、ポイントでの説明、わかりやすかったです
どうもありがとうございました。

また、金沢へ来た時、是非、利用したいとおもいます。

I think it was the tour as described. The bus seats are assigned. If there are empty seats and you inform the guide, you can move. Inside the bus, the main feature is the earphone guide, but there are also explanations in Japanese from the guide. Even though it's Hokkaido, it gets hot in the summer and ice cream melts quickly, so I recommend a cup. The lunch portion was quite large. At the hotel where lunch was served, there were only two restrooms available, and there was a line. I was concerned about the manners of the overseas participants.
- They don't stop chatting even when the guide is speaking, so it's hard to hear the guide's voice.
- They recline their seats all the way back.
- They apply strong-smelling substances on their bodies inside the bus.

記載通りのツアーだったと思います。
バスの座席は指定です。座席が空いていてガイドさんに伝えれば、移動可能です。
車内では、イヤホンガイドがメインですが、ガイドさんからの日本語の説明もあります。
北海道とはいえ夏は暑くアイスは即溶けるので、カップをオススメします。
昼食は、量が多めでした。
昼食場所のホテルでは、使用できるトイレが2か所計2つしかなく、行列でした。
参加される海外の方のマナーが気になりました。
・ガイドさんが話しているときにもおしゃべりを止めないので、ガイドさんの声が聞こえない。
・リクライニングを最大限まで倒す。
・においがキツイものを車内で体に塗ったくる。

I signed up relatively quickly as a solo participant, but it seems it wasn't on a first-come, first-served basis, as I ended up with an aisle seat. There was a mix of Japanese and foreign participants, about half and half, but the person next to the window was a large Korean man who was constantly playing games on his phone, and his elbow kept bumping into me. I couldn't see the view from the window at all, and I could only catch a glimpse of the Kenmeri and the Seven Stars tree through the gaps. Even though I was a solo participant, there were others who seemed to be using their space comfortably, so I wondered if they had signed up directly. I experienced for the first time how the luck of the seat can completely change the impression of the tour for solo participants. Getting off the bus was fantastic.

一人参加で割と早く申し込みましたが先着順ではないのでしょう、通路側でした。日本人、外国人混合で割合は半々でしたが隣の窓側が体の大きな韓国人でずっと携帯でゲームをしており肘がどんどん当たって窓の景色は全く見れなくケンメリだとかセブンスターの木も体の隙間からチラッとしか見れませんでした。一人参加でも一人でゆったり使っている人もいて直に申し込んだのかなとも思いました。一人参加の場合、座席の運が良いか悪いかでツアーのイメージが全く異なることを初めて体験しました。
バスを降りれば最高でした。

I think there were many people due to the long holiday, but everyone was well-mannered and kept to the schedule, making for a pleasant sightseeing experience. The guide's explanations were good, and it was nice that they asked foreign visitors to adhere to the time. It was also reassuring that the bus seats were assigned. Lake Toya became very famous due to the summit, but after actually visiting, I feel it's not necessarily a lake worth going out of your way for, so I would give it four stars.

連休ということで人数は多かったのだと思いますが、みなさん、マナーもよく時間厳守で気持ちよく観光できました。ガイドさんの説明もよく、外国人の方への時間を守っていただくようにお願いしていたこともよかったのだと思います。バスの席も決めていただいていたので安心でした。洞爺湖はサミットで大変有名になったこともですが、実際に行ってみるとわざわざ行くほどの湖ではないのかな、ということで星４つですかね。

I chose this tour because it included visits to the rarely visited Ama-no-Iwato Shrine and Ama-no-Yasugawara Shrine. Since it was primarily a Chinese-speaking tour, I was a bit worried at first, but the guide was fluent in Chinese, English, and Japanese, so I didn't feel any inconvenience at all. The other tour participants were also very well-mannered, making the bus ride quite pleasant. Takachiho Shrine, Takachiho Gorge, Ama-no-Iwato Shrine, and Ama-no-Yasugawara Shrine were all mystical and wonderful places. The Miyazaki beef lunch was delicious, and it was a very satisfying day.

他のツアーではなかなか行かない天岩戸神社と天安河原宮の見学がついていたので選びました。
中国語がメインのツアーだったので最初は少し心配でしたが、ガイドさんは中国語、英語、日本語が堪能で全く不自由を感じることはありませんでした。
ツアー客の皆さんもとても行儀の良い方ばかりで、バスの中でも気持ちよく過ごせました。
高千穂神社、高千穂峡、天岩戸神社、天安河原宮、全て神秘的で素晴らしい場所でした。宮崎牛のランチも美味しく、大満足の一日でした。

The Sea of Japan is so beautiful and healing!!! At Cape Kamoi, the wind was strong and I felt like I might get blown away, but I might want to go again, lol.

日本海がとってもきれいで、癒される！！！
神威岬では風が強くて、飛ばされそうだったけどまた行きたいかもw

The bus guide provided various information, and I was able to enjoy sightseeing very much. When I travel to Okinawa again, I would like to use a bus tour to visit different places.

バスガイドさんも、色々案内していただき、非常に楽しく観光することができました。
また、沖縄に旅行に行くときは、別の場所を観光するバスツアーがあれば利用したいと思います。

I learned about a bus tour to Takachiho Gorge, which I had wanted to visit since my live performance in Hakata, and I participated the day after the concert. I knew it was mainly for Chinese tourists, so I was able to accept that. I was seated in the second row, and after explaining in Chinese, the guide kindly re-explained in Japanese just for me. I felt a bit guilty for their kindness. However, when they started explaining to the Chinese guests, they would talk for many minutes, and I became concerned that the guide was overworked. The Chinese guests were all very well-mannered and quiet, which impressed me. Takachiho Gorge was just as beautiful as I had seen in photos, and I was moved by its beauty. However, it was the hottest time of the year (reportedly the hottest of the season), and the time spent walking outside was during the peak heat, making me feel like I might suffer from heatstroke. It's essential to be fully equipped during the hot season, but that also means carrying more luggage, which can be tough. I think it's better to choose the season when you go.

ライブで訪れた博多からいつか行きたいと思っていた高千穂峡へバスツアーがあると知りライブの翌日に参加しました。
中国人メインと知っていたのでそこは割り切れました。
２列目に座らせて頂き中国語で説明した後丁寧に私に日本語で説明し直してくれます。親切過ぎて申し訳ない程でした。ただ中国の方に説明し出すと何十分も話すのでガイドさんオーバーワークが心配になりました。
中国のお客さんは皆マナーも良く静かで感心しました。
高千穂峡は写真で見たままとても綺麗で感動しました。
ただ真夏の暑い時期(今季一番の暑さとの事)で
外を歩く時間も一番暑い時間帯なので熱中症になりそうでした。
暑い時期は完全装備必須ですがその分荷物が増えて大変です。
行く季節はを選んだ方が良いと思います。
