All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

The guide was Nepalese, but he was a bilingual who was fluent in English, Chinese, and Japanese. Since he was able to handle Japanese without any issues, I was able to enjoy the tour with peace of mind.

ガイドさんはネパール人でしたが、英語・中国語・日本語も堪能なバイリンガルでした。日本語も問題なく対応できたので安心して楽しいツアーを満喫することができました。

It was our first time snorkeling for both of us, but the time flew by and it turned out to be a fulfilling day! Our guide, Hina, provided us with detailed information about marine life, and we even got to see a sea snake! I would like to use this service again when I come back to Ishigaki Island next time!

2人も初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、あっという間に時間が過ぎ充実した日になりました！
担当してくださったひなさんは海の生物について詳しく教えてくださり、ウミヘビも見ることができました！
次回石垣島に来た際も利用したいと思います！

I was able to efficiently visit Iriomote Island, Yubu Island, and Taketomi Island in one day, and I was very satisfied. The bus driver guide on Iriomote Island was very entertaining. I highly recommend it.

一日で西表島・由布島・竹富島に効率よくまわることができて、大満足でした。西表島のバスの運転手さんのガイドがとても面白かったです。おすすめです。

I was really wondering if we could visit all these places, but it turned out to be just right for my impatient self who likes to move quickly. We didn't have time to ride a boat at Takachiho Gorge, and my child was saying they wanted to go on one. It was a shame that we didn't have time to buy souvenirs at each location. Since our stay at the parking area was short, we couldn't do any shopping. Maybe it's a good thing we didn't spend any money.

本当にこんなにまわれるのかなぁ～と思ってましたが、
さっさと周ってせっかちな私にはちょうど良かったです。
高千穂峡で船に乗る時間が無くて子供が乗りたかったと言ってました。
その場所場所でお土産を買う時間がなかったのが残念でした。
パーキングの滞在も少しだったので買い物が出来ず。
出費が無くて良かったかも。

Since the mangroves follow the same route for both the outbound and return trips, I was able to see both sides. It was fun listening to the explanations too! You can buy souvenirs on Yufu Island!

マングローブは行きと帰り同じところを通るため両側見ることが出来た。解説も聞いていて楽しかった！お土産は由布島で買えるよ！

I'm glad I was able to visit various places starting from Dazaifu, then to Yufuin, and finally to the Kamado Hell in Beppu. Yufuin has so many shops that I almost got lost, so having a map would be really helpful. At Kamado Hell, there were quite a few tourists, so I couldn't enjoy the foot bath. However, it was fun to interact with a foreigner who didn't know how to open a Ramune bottle. The tour guide was amazing! I was surprised by how they explained everything in multiple languages. The driver also engaged with us, and their combination was great, making it a really wonderful tour.

太宰府から始まって湯布院、別府のかまど地獄へと色々行けて良かったです。湯布院ではたくさんお店があって道にも迷いそうだったのでマップがあると有難いですね。かまど地獄ではかなり観光客が多く足湯は無理でした。でもラムネの開け方のわからない外国人と交流したり楽しかったです。添乗員さんが凄い！何ヶ国語も駆使して説明して頂けてビックリしました。運転手さんも何かと声を掛けてくれたり、２人のコンビネーションも良く、凄く良いツアーでした。

A wonderful day even if the weather was bad the first hours of walking (rain). The misty forest, the big old and mysterious trees and the little world of the moss are so beautiful and well preserved! We were two with the guide (who speaks English contrary of what is written on the website). Read that some people had problems with the guide but he has done the job seriously. Yes he walks quickly sometimes, but we have no choice: we need to go down for the last bus. The problem is the bus schedule (which should pass one hour later), definitely not the guide! So he knows exactly what he's doing, we walked quite well and we finally arrived 10 minutes before the bus departure! If you feel that you are not in condition to walk quickly in hard mountain road (the last kilometers) it's better to give up this activity, and please don't try it without a guide during winter because we saw a few irresponsible guys underestimating the dangers of nature (no crampons on icy path, no warm clothes, walking late...)! Personally, I like this kind of guide who looks severe at the beginning, but little by little you discover that he just ask you to do what you need to do. He is kind too: giving some of his hot miso soup for lunch, taking lots of beautiful photos for you (because I must say it's hard to take photos by yourself, no time to fool around), giving very useful crampons for walking in the snow (two minutes to put it on your shoes), talking with you... Finally it was an amazing natural and human experience!

I was able to see scenery that I can't experience in Tokyo and its surrounding areas from inside the bus, making it an amazing plan.

僕が住んでいる東京及びその周辺の地域でも味わえないような景色をバスの車内から見る事が出来て、凄い良い計画になりました。

Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy, but I was comforted by the guide's humorous storytelling and the water buffalo (Apar-kun). It was so relaxing!

あいにく、天候は曇りでしたが、ガイドのユーモアたっぷりの語りと水牛(アーパー君)に癒されました。まったり！

A luxurious trip visiting three islands in one day. It was a solo journey, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The driver on Iriomote Island was the best! The guiding while driving was absolutely wonderful! I was also able to rent a bicycle on Taketomi Island that day, so I spent my time efficiently. The lunch that included a meal was delicious as well.

1日で3島巡り。贅沢な旅でした。ひとり旅でしたが、大変満喫できました。
西表島のパスドライバーさん、最高！運転しながらのガイドが素晴らしすぎた！
竹富島でも当日自転車が借りられたので、時間を無駄なく過ごせました。
お昼つきのランチも美味しかったです。

A 3-night, 4-day solo trip to the Yaeyama Islands.

On the final day, the bus tour around Ishigaki Island allowed me to thoroughly enjoy all the famous spots I wanted to visit, thanks to the high-level guidance from the driver and bus guide. The sun also made an appearance at the beach, so I got to see the stunning Ishigaki Blue 🩵, which was amazing.

When I visit again, I definitely want to recommend this tour to my acquaintances as well.

3泊4日の八重山ひとり旅。
最終日の石垣島バスツアーは、思うところすべての名所めぐりと、ドライバーとバスガイドのハイレベルの案内で、存分に満喫できました。
海では，太陽も顔を出してくれたので，石垣ブルー🩵も見れてサイコーでした。
また訪れるときはもちろん、知り合いにもオススメしたいツアーとなりました。

In some places, the parking lot is far away, and we can't be late for the meeting time, so the time written is even shorter. However, since we couldn't drive around ourselves, it was a very helpful tour.

場所によっては駐車場が遠く、集合時間に遅れてもいけないしで、書いてある時間より更に短くなります。ただ自分達では運転してまわれなかったので、ありがたいツアーでした。

It was a place I wanted to visit in the northern part of Okinawa Island, which is not often included in tours. The day was fulfilling with sightseeing, following the schedule without any troubles. The tour guide's explanations were accurate and easy to understand, which made me feel at ease.

The sashimi lunch at Kunigami Port Shokudo was very delicious. Since it’s a popular restaurant, there were many customers waiting for it to open, but I was able to eat as soon as it opened.

I wished I had a little more time at Asumui, but it couldn't be helped due to the schedule. It’s quite far to go individually, so this day trip tour was greatly appreciated. I highly recommend it.

ツアーでは行くことの少ない沖縄島北部、行ってみたかった場所でした。
予定通りの時程で、トラブルもなく充実した観光の一日でした。添乗員さんの説明も的確でわかりやすく、安心できるものでした。
国頭港食堂のお刺身ランチはとてもおいしかったです。人気の店だけに開店待ちのお客さんの多い中、開店と同時に食事ができました。
アスムイではもう少し時間が欲しかったですが、日程上仕方ないですね。
個人で行くには遠いので、日帰りのこのツアーはありがたかったです。お勧めです。

I visited Shirakawa-go for the first time. In the afternoon, I leisurely explored the streets lined with gassho-zukuri houses, and at night, I was able to enjoy the illuminated snowy landscape from the observation deck, captivated by its enchanting beauty.

Drinking sweet sake on such a cold day was an exceptional experience. The weather was also favorable that day, and the transportation was smooth, which was truly wonderful. I am sincerely grateful to the tour guide for providing detailed instructions. Thank you very much!

初めて白川郷を訪れました。午後は合掌造りの街並みをのびのびと散策し、夜には展望台からライトアップされた雪景色を眺めることができ、その幻想的な美しさに心を奪われました。

このような寒い日に飲む甘酒は、格別な体験でした。当日は天候にも恵まれ、交通もスムーズで本当に良かったです。添乗員さんも細かく注意事項を伝えてくださり、心から感謝しています。ありがとうございました！

You can efficiently visit places like Yufuin Island, which are difficult to access on your own, without wasting time. I did a preliminary visit on this tour and then spent a relaxing day on Taketomi Island the next day.

自力では行きにくい由布島なども無駄なく非常に効率よく廻れます。このツアーで下見をして、翌日竹富島でゆっくり一日過ごしました。

I was able to experience the extraordinary by riding a water buffalo cart and seeing the mangroves that can only be found on Iriomote Island. I had a relaxing and enjoyable time.

水牛車に乗ったり、西表島でしか見られないマングローブを見たり、非日常が体験出来ました。
ゆっくりのんびり、楽しくすごせました。

I stayed in Ishigaki Island for three days, but the weather wasn't very favorable (mostly cloudy with some light rain), and the only sunny day was during the tour on January 24th. Even during the tour, there were quite a few clouds, and it was a mix of sunny and cloudy; just when I thought the sun was shining, it would quickly hide again. Still, I was glad to see the beautiful blue sea of Ishigaki Island.

The Tamatorizaki Observatory has a short stay time, so it's better to hurry.

The tour guide was very skilled at playing the sanshin and singing, and they even taught us how to whistle with our fingers; they were truly talented. I learned a lot from their stories about the classical folk songs and traditions of the Yaeyama Islands. They shared many interesting tales about Ishigaki Island.

The driver also slowed down at key points to show us the scenery, making it a great tour. Especially on a nice weather day, the sea must be stunning.

石垣島に3日間滞在しましたがあまり天候に恵まれず（ほぼ曇りで小雨有り）、晴れたのははツアーの日1月24日だけでした。
ツアーの最中もかなり雲が多く晴れたり曇ったりで、日が差した！と思ったらまたすぐ隠れるという感じでした。
それでもなんとか石垣島のブルーの海が見れて良かったです。
玉取崎展望台は滞在時間が短いので、急いだ方が良いです。

添乗員さんは三線や歌がとてもお上手で、指笛を教えてくださったり本当に芸達者でした。
八重山の古典民謡、伝承などのお話も大変勉強になりました。
石垣島の面白い話をたくさんしてくれます。

運転手さんも要所要所で徐行して景色を見せてくださり、良いツアーだと思います。
特に良い天気の日は海がきれいで最高でしょう。

A one-year-old calf was happily playing with the water buffalo. A young elementary school boy got stuck in the mangroves. The lunch buffet was enjoyed by the older kids, but it might be a good idea to bring something for the little ones aged 0-3.

水牛に一才の末の子が喜んでいました。
小学生の男の子にマングローブ刺さります。
お昼ご飯のバイキングは上の子たちは食べでしたが、小さい0-3歳くらいの子は何か持参した方がいいかもです。

My first trip to Ishigaki Island, and I arrived at the airport just before noon. Since hotel check-in is at 3 PM, I wondered what I should do after arriving. While casually searching on VELTRA, I found this tour.

The meeting time was at 2:30 PM. It included a shuttle service, a ride on a water buffalo cart, and free time for exploration. The return ferry from Taketomi Island was at 5 PM. When you think of Ishigaki Island, you think of water buffalo carts. The timing was just right, so I made a reservation four days before departure.

From the airport, I took a leisurely bus to the meeting point at the ferry terminal. At the tour desk, I showed my voucher and received my boarding ticket, and they provided detailed guidance on the meeting place, a photo of the boat I would be taking, and how to return.

Before the departure time of the ferry, I was able to have lunch and browse for souvenirs. The shuttle service from Taketomi Island was smooth, and I quickly boarded the water buffalo cart.

The ride on the water buffalo cart was incredibly relaxing. The blue sky, red flowers, white sand, and the gentle eyes of the water buffalo all brought me peace. I'm really glad I went.

初めての石垣島旅行、空港到着はお昼前。ホテルチェックインは15時だし、着いたら何しようかな?と何気なくVELTRAで検索したところ、今回のツアーを見つけました。
集合は14時半。送迎付きで水牛車に乗って、自由散策。竹富島からの帰りの船は17時。
石垣島といえば水牛車。時間もちょうどいい感じ。出発の4日前に予約しました。
空港からはのんびり路線バスで集合場所のフェリーターミナルへ。ツアーデスクでバウチャーを見せて乗船券を受け取ると、集合場所、乗る船の写真、帰る方法など、丁寧に案内がありました。
行きの船の出発時間まで、ランチを食べたり、お土産を見たりできました。
竹富島到着からの送迎もスムーズで、早速水牛車に乗り込みます。
水牛車はとってものんびり。青い空、赤い花、白い砂、水牛のつぶらな瞳、全てに癒されました。本当に行って良かったです。

Everything is arranged for you, so it's easy. It's a great tour for first-timers. The premium seats on the boat are an additional 500 yen, but since the seats are completely different, it would be fine to use them if the regular seats are crowded.

すべて段取りしていただけるので楽です。初めての方には良いツアーです。
船のプレミアムシートは＋500円ですが、シートがぜんぜん違うので普通席が混みあっている場合は利用しても良いでしょう。

Although the weather was a bit uncertain at the end of the year, it became my best memory! While gently swaying with the cows, I truly felt that I had arrived in Ishigaki, accompanied by the sounds of the sanshin.

年末のお天気微妙ななかの参加でしたが、一番良い思い出になりました!ゆっくりと牛さんに揺られながら三線の音色とであー石垣に来たなと実感

I want to see the beautiful Mount Fuji. I would like to go to the 5th station of Mount Fuji. I want to take pictures of Mount Fuji from Oshino Hakkai. There are often photos of the five-story pagoda and Mount Fuji, and I want to see what that place is like and take pictures there too. The photos from Hikawa Clock Shop are also famous. I wanted to see that as well. I enjoyed all of these experiences. The guide and the driver were very kind, and it felt great.

きれいな富士山を見たい。富士山5合目まで行ってみたい。忍野八海からの富士山の写真が撮りたい。よく五重の塔と富士山の写真がありますがどんなところなのか見てみたいし写真も撮ってみたい。日川時計店からの写真も有名ですね。そこも見てみたかったです。これら全部楽しめました。ガイドの人も運転手さんもとても親切で気持ちよかったです。

Gujo Hachiman, Hida Takayama, and Shirakawa-go are all places I've wanted to visit for many years, so it was great to be able to visit all three in one day. I would definitely recommend them to others.

郡上八幡+飛騨高山+白川郷、どこも何年も前から行ってみたいと考えていた場所に1日で3箇所も行けてとてもよかったです。人におすすめしたいです。

The rice was just okay and not very tasty, which was a bit disappointing. However, I was satisfied because I got to see a lot of Takachiho.

ごはんがとりあえずって感じであまり美味しくなかったのが少し残念
高千穂はたっぷり見れたので満足です

I think it would be a good idea to plan to visit the main spots in Ishigaki and have them take you to the airport on the last day of your stay in the Yaeyama Islands.

石垣のメインスポットまわって頂けるし、空港まで送って頂けるので、八重山滞在最終日に予定すると良いと思います。

Thanks to our driver, we had a wonderful day. Many facilities were closed for the New Year, and due to bad weather all day, we had to give up on all our plans. However, the driver provided us with unique information about Ishigaki Island and took us to recommended gourmet spots, making for a very fulfilling day.

The conversations in the car were lively, and the driver offered topics to discuss without making us feel tired.

This was my second time using this course. The enjoyment of a long tour really depends on the driver, and I was so glad to have had wonderful drivers both times!

運転手さんのおかげで楽しい１日になりました。
正月でお休みの施設も多く、終日悪天候で予定をすべて諦めざるをえないという状況でしたが、石垣島ならではの情報を教えていただいたり、オススメのグルメにも連れていってくださったおかげで、とても充実した１日になりました。
車内の会話も盛り上げつつ、気疲れない程度に話題を提供してくださりました。

こちらのコースを利用したのは今回で二回目。長時間ツアーは運転手さん次第で楽しさが変わりますが、２回とも素敵な運転手さんで本当によかったです！

We participated as a family of five. Since it was cold, we dressed quite warmly, but while walking, we ended up getting hot and sweating. However, when we stopped for a moment, it became cold again. We rented raincoats, but wearing a fleece under the raincoat was sufficient. My gloves were also too warm, so I think using work gloves would be better. There were more ups and downs than I expected, which made me a bit anxious at first, but our guide taught us how to walk, move our feet, and breathe, so I was able to trek with peace of mind. Along the way, we enjoyed discussions about plants and explanations about cedar trees.

After walking for about two hours, we found a restroom and used it. On the way back, we retraced the same route, but I felt quite a strain on my knees going downhill. The next day, I had muscle soreness, but the Kumozu Gorge was incredibly mystical and beautiful, so it was a very satisfying tour. It was also nice that there were fewer people since it was winter.

家族5人で参加しました。寒いと言うことで結構厚着していきましたが歩いてると暑くなってしまい汗をかきましたがちょっと止まると今度は寒くなってきます。
レインコートレンタルしましたが
フリースにレインコートて十分でした。手袋もあつかったので軍手の方がいいかとおもいます。思った以上にアップダウンがあって最初不安になりましたが
ガイトさんが歩き方や足の運び方、息づかいを教えてもらったので安心してトレッキングできました。途中植物の話や杉の説明などしてもらえるので楽しめました
2時間ほど歩いたところにトイレがあり利用しました。
帰りは同じルートを戻りますが
下りはひざにかなり負担をかんじます。
次の日は筋肉痛になりましたが
雲水峡はとても神秘的で美しかったので大満足のツアーでした。
冬なので人が少なかったのも良かったです

I had a really great time. There were so many places I wanted to see, and I felt like there wasn't enough time, so I would love to join this tour again. It was packed with highlights. Riding the water buffalo three times was truly wonderful. I'm glad I chose this tour.

本当に楽しかった。時間が足りなくてみたい所あったので、またこのツアーに参加したいと思うほど盛りだくさんでカナリ見所全て詰まっていた。水牛に3回乗れたのは本当に良かった。このツアーを選んで良かった

Iriomote Island's mangroves were amazing. I was also able to visit Yubu Island, and Taketomi Island was comfortable for sightseeing with moderate temperatures, unlike in summer.

西表島マングローブ最高でした。
由布島にも行けて
竹富島も夏とは違い気温も適度で観光しやすかったです。

Iriomote, Yufu, and Taketomi had a warm climate and wonderful weather, making it a fantastic island-hopping experience. It was a great experience to leisurely explore the islands by water buffalo cart, which I had longed to do. I learned from the guide that water buffalo are gentle animals with intelligent personalities. I definitely want to travel to the Okinawan islands again.

西表　由布　竹富　気候は暖かくお天気も良くて素晴らしい三島巡りでした。
念願だった水牛車でゆったりと島巡りをしたのはとても良い経験になりました。
水牛が穏やかな性格で頭が良い動物だとガイドの方に教えて頂きました。
また　沖縄の島へ旅行したいと思いました。
