All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

Number of people: The large bus was almost full.

Time: There were many tour companies gathered at the meeting place. It was helpful that there was a photo of the flag attached to the itinerary. Additionally, the schedule included information about the departure time, and the bus guide provided updates on the timing as we went along, which was great. We planned to visit two locations for two hours each, so we had enough time to enjoy ourselves.

Impressions: Almost everyone else was Chinese, and the announcements were made in Chinese by the guide. At first, I was very anxious, but when I mentioned that I was Japanese, the guide kindly explained recommended places in Japanese while distributing maps, which made me feel more at ease as the tour progressed. Since there were only two locations on this tour, that might have been a good thing. I learned that it can be challenging to follow a tour in an unfamiliar language when visiting many places.

I also realized the importance of knowing which members will be on the tour, as we had to wait for those who were late at the meeting time. Although there was a significant delay at first, we departed almost on schedule afterward, which was good.

人数:大型バスがほぼ満席状態の人数でした。

時間:集合場所には沢山のツアー会社が集まっています。旗の写真を日程表に貼ってあったので、助かりました。また、事前に何時に出発をするのかなど工程表に記載があり、細かい時間に関してはその都度バスガイドさんから言っていただけるので良かったです。２箇所を２時間ずつ回る予定でしたので、時間にゆとりがあり楽しめました。

感想:私達以外はほぼ中国人でアナウンスはガイドさんが中国語で行っており、最初はすごく不安でしたが、日本人ということを話すと、地図などを配る際におすすめの場所などを日本語で説明してくださり、途中からは不安なく過ごせました。今回はツアーで周るところは2箇所でしたので、それも良かったのかもしれないです。たくさんの場所を周るツアーで知らない言語の解説は厳しいと勉強になりました。

集合時間になってもツアーメンバーが現れない人がいると待たないといけないので、どのメンバーでツアーに回るのかも重要だなと勉強になりました。最初こそ大幅に遅れが発生しましたが、その後はほぼ予定時刻での出発でしたので良かったです。

The morning rain had almost stopped, and I was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery. I only got caught in the rain at the Blue Pond, but you can't book the weather, can you? There was no traffic, and everything went smoothly, almost as if it weren't a holiday. Next time, I would like to visit in July when the lavender is in bloom. Sapporo is cooler than Honshu, and Furano and Biei are even cooler. A light jacket is a must!

朝の雨もほぼ止んで、綺麗な景色を堪能できました。青い池の時だけ雨に降られてしまいましたが、お天気は予約できませんからねー。渋滞もなくスケジュール通り、連休中とは思えないほどスムーズでした。
次回は、ラベンダーが咲いている7月に行ってみたいと思いました。
本州よりも涼しい札幌、さらに涼しい富良野、美瑛。羽織もの必須ですね。

Gokayama Ainokura is small in scale, but there were few tourists, allowing for a leisurely stroll. Since it was the middle of a three-day weekend, there was a huge traffic jam in front of the Shirakawa-go parking lot, but tour buses were allowed to enter preferentially, so there was no waiting time. It was crowded, but I was still able to enjoy it.

五箇山相倉は規模は小さいですが観光に来られている方も少なくのんびり散策することができました。3連休中日だったので白川郷駐車場前は大渋滞でしたが観光バスは優先的に入れるとのことで待ち時間はありませんでした。人人人でしたがそれはそれとして楽しむことができました。

Visiting the Aso crater is not possible by large bus, so you have to walk quite a distance. This time, we were able to go all the way up, and since the wind was blowing in the opposite direction, there was no distinctive odor, allowing us to focus on taking photos. It also depends on the weather, but I believe that, along with that, is part of the charm of traveling, and it made me feel like the experience was elevated to a whole new level.

阿蘇の火口見学は、大型バスだと上まで行けず、かなりの距離徒歩になるとか。
今回は、上まで行けて、風向きも逆だったので、独特の臭気もなく、写真撮影に専念出来ました。
お天気次第、というのも有りますが、それも含め、旅行の醍醐味だと思え、それ自体でワンランク上になった気分でした。

The one-day tour this time was truly wonderful. We enjoyed delicious beef in Takayama and saw old buildings. After that, we headed to the UNESCO World Heritage site Shirakawa-go. We had two hours there. At first, I thought it might not be enough time, but surprisingly, we managed to see everything. I believe the scenery changes with the seasons, so we chose to go in the summer this time. It felt like entering a dream world. I had so much fun. The driver was also very experienced, and since it was a three-day weekend, we returned without much traffic. The Chinese staff were very kind as well. Thank you very much. I'm considering going again in the fall and winter.

今回の一日ツアー本当に素晴らしかったんです。
高山市で美味しい牛肉食べて、古い建物をみました。
その後、世界遺産白川郷に向いました。時間は2時間がありました。最初は足りないかなと思っていましたが、意外に全部回ってきました。
四季の景色も違うと思いますので、今回は夏にしました。本当に夢みたいな世界に入りました。すごく楽しかったんです。
後運転手さんもすごくベテランで、三連休なので、ほぼ渋滞しないまま、戻ってきました。中国人のスタッフも優しくしてくれました。ありがとうございます。今度秋と冬の時、また行くと考えています。

The sightseeing at Cape Kamoi was very good.

Otaru is a nice place, but I felt that the quality has become quite varied compared to ten years ago, especially after the influx of inbound tourism. However, I don't think this is the fault of the tour.

神威岬の観光はとても良かったです。

小樽はよいところではありますが　インバウンドが過ぎて10年前と比べていろんなクオリティが高かろう悪かろうになっているように思いましたがこれはツアーのせいではないのかなと思います。

It was disappointing that we couldn't take a boat ride on Lake Shikotsu due to the strong winds, but we were able to spot some cute fawns from the bus. The guide's stories and the audio commentary were enjoyable and made the experience better.

For lunch, I didn't have high expectations based on the photos, but it turned out to be luxurious and very delicious, unlike what I had imagined.

The next day, my mother had the national chorus competition, and I was worried about feeling tired, but the comfortable bus journey left me refreshed.

風が強くて、支笏湖での乗船はできなかったのは残念だったけれど、バスの中から可愛い子鹿を見つけたりできました。ガイドさんの話、そしてイヤホンによる案内も楽しくて、よかったです。
お昼は写真からあまり期待していなかったのに、写真とは異なり豪華でとても美味しかった。
次の日に、お母さんコーラス全国大会の本番を控えていたので、疲れが残ると嫌だなと思っていたのですが、快適なバス旅で疲れませんでした。

It rained heavily, but I was able to finish the climb safely. The tour guide shared various episodes along the way.

You should bring a few extra portable toilets!

雨がすごく降りましたが、無事登り終えることができました。
ツアーの方から途中途中で色々とエピソードなど教えていただけます。

携帯トイレは少し多めに持っていくべきです！

The Ise pilgrimage tour was wonderful. The tour guide was very attentive, providing detailed explanations of each location and guiding us to dining places, making for a very pleasant trip. Thank you very much.

伊勢参りツアー、添乗員さんがすごく丁寧に各地の説明、お食事処への案内等、丁寧にお世話してくださり、とても気持ち良い旅になりました。ありがとうございました。

It was my first time participating, and it was a wonderful tour.

It was very interesting, and it was a fantastic facility that entertained both adults and children. I had a great time. Especially, the pilot's experience was incredibly fun! If I had any questions, they were happy to answer and I made new discoveries. They responded to the children's questions, which came from surprising angles, with a smile and in an easy-to-understand manner, even if the topics were unrelated. The flight attendants were truly wonderful people, and I couldn't help but admire them.

初めての参加でしたが、とても素敵なツアーでした。

とても興味深く、大人も子供も楽しませてくれる様な素晴らしい施設となっており大変楽しめました。
特にパイロットの◯◯の◯◯が凄く楽しかったです！
わからないことは質問をすれば教えて下さり、新たな発見がありました。
驚きの角度から来る子供さんの質問にも笑顔でわかりやすく、たとえ関係のない内容でも寄り添いお答えされていました。
CAをされている方はやはり素敵な方で憧れてしまいますね。

Many participants were from Taiwan and Hong Kong, with only three Japanese attendees. Most of the announcements were in Chinese, but they kindly came to our seats to explain in Japanese. Thanks to our guide, we were able to enjoy a day trip to a hot spring in Yufuin. We had a lot of fun throughout the day.

参加されている方々が台湾・香港からの方が多くて、日本人は3名だけでした。
マイクでのアナウンスは中国語が多かったのですが、わざわざ席まで来て日本語で説明してくださいました。
湯布院で日帰り温泉を楽しめたのもガイドさんのお陰です。
1日、たくさん楽しめました。

It was a valuable experience to enter an area that is usually not accessible. The number of participants was limited, making for a comfortable tour without any chaos. It’s enjoyable for everyone, from adults to small children. The admission tickets we received were stylish, and there were exclusive goods available only there, keeping us excited from start to finish in that rare situation.

普通は見られないエリアに入れ、貴重な体験でした。
一回の参加人数も限られており、わちゃわちゃすることもなく快適なツアーでした。
大人から小さいお子さんまで、楽しめます。
いただく入場チケットもおしゃれで、そこでしか買えないグッズもあり、最初から最後までそのレアな状況に興奮しっぱなしでした。

I regret that I participated without knowing much about it, but there was no explanation in Japanese from the guide either on the bus or at the site, except for what we asked. I was anxious because I didn't know what time we would arrive at the tourist spots, which was disappointing. Perhaps it would be better to not allow Japanese participants at all.

よく知らずに参加したのも悪かったんですが、ガイドさんのバス中でも現地でも、こちらから聞いた事以外は日本語の説明はなく、観光地に何時に着くとかも分からず、不安があり、残念でした。
いっそ、日本人は参加できなくしたらいいのではないでしょうか。

The shuttle service to the hotel and the tour that took us around various places was excellent! We participated with four people, including elementary school and preschool children, and I was grateful that they arranged our seats together. The time spent at each sightseeing spot wasn't as long as it would be on an individual trip, but we had plenty of fun and were very satisfied. Although lunch wasn't included, the guide mentioned that we could eat on the bus, so we were able to buy snacks and eat while traveling. The guide's stories were engaging, and we had a very meaningful day. I highly recommend it!

ホテルまで送迎があり、色々と連れて行ってくれるツアーはとても良かったです！
小学生と未就学児の４人での参加でしたが、席も並びにしてくれていて有り難かったです。
それぞれの観光地は個人旅行と違って滞在時間は長くはありませんが、じゅうぶん楽しめて大満足でした。昼食はついていませんが、バスで食べてOKとガイドさんからお話があったのでちょこちょこ買って移動中に済ませることができました。
ガイドさんのお話も飽きることなく、とても有意義な１日を過ごせました。おすすめです!

It was my first time in Kumamoto and Miyazaki. Since you walk around the shrine and Takachiho Gorge, I think it's manageable for those with good stamina. In Kumamoto, there’s a free soft serve ice cream giveaway on the way back from Amano Iwato Shrine. You can choose either mango flavor or a mango & vanilla mix. Such participation perks are really appreciated.

Although it rained in Miyazaki, Takachiho Gorge was beautiful and offered a mystical experience.

The Chinese female interpreter was very considerate and kept a smile while speaking in Chinese, English, and Japanese, which was very pleasant! Thank you for the enjoyable trip.

初めての熊本＋宮崎でした。
神社と高千穂峡は歩くので、体力ある人だと問題ないと思います。　熊本は、天岩戸神社の帰りにソフトクリームの無料プレゼントあります。マンゴー味かマンゴー&バニラMIXのどちらか選べます。
そういう参加特典は嬉しい限りです。
宮崎は雨に振られましたが、高千穂峡は綺麗で神秘的な旅でした。

通訳の中国人の女性の方、中国＋英語＋日本の3か国語話しながらも気遣いや笑顔を忘れず好感持てました！
お疲れ様でした(⁠✿⁠^⁠‿⁠^⁠)
楽しい旅をありがとうございます。

This was my third trip to Okinawa. I had always wanted to visit Yanbaru National Park, and while researching online, I found a one-day bus tour through Veltra that included Yanbaru Park, Cape Hedo, and Daichi Forest. I immediately made a reservation. There were five participants on the day of the tour, but we enjoyed a spacious and comfortable sightseeing experience on a large bus. I was worried because it was typhoon season, but the weather was good, and I was satisfied with the beautiful scenery of the Yanbaru region and the enjoyable trip. The hiking at Daichi Forest was easy to walk, making it accessible even for older individuals. I was very satisfied with this trip, as it allowed me to visit places that are not easily accessible on my own.

沖縄旅行は今回で3回目になります。以前からやんばる国立公園に行ってみたいと思い、インターネットで調べていたらベルトラのジャンボツアーでのやんばる公園、辺戸岬、大石林山等の一日バスツアーが見つかり即、予約申し込みしました。当日の参加者は5名でしたが、大型バスでゆったりと快適な観光をしてきました。今の季節は台風シーズンで心配しましたが天気は良く、素晴らしいやんばる地方の景色を見て、快適な旅を楽しんで満足しました。大石林山の
ハイキングは歩きやすく年配の方でも行ける感じでした。なかなか個人では行けないところを今回のツアーに参加して満足のいく旅行でした。

I participated with a friend! The guide was very kind and shared various stories, allowing us to have an enjoyable 10 hours! Since it was 10 hours long, there were moments on the way back that felt a bit tiring, but it was such a great experience that it didn't really matter. I would love to visit again in 10 years when I'm feeling worn out by society and seek some healing.

友達と参加せていただきました！
ガイドの方がとても親切で、色々なお話をしてくださって楽しい10時間をすごすことが出来ました！！
やはり10時間もあるので帰りなどは気持ち的にしんどいところもありましたが、そんなことは気にならないくらいとても良い経験になりました(^^)
また10年後、社会に疲れた頃にもう一度訪れて癒されたいです〜

I chose a tour for sightseeing in the Furano area on September 12 and a tour for sightseeing in the Shakotan area on the 13th. The Furano area tour included lunch, but the Shakotan area tour did not. I wish it had been included.

9月12日に富良野エリア観光で13日に積丹エリア観光のツアーを選びました。富良野エリアツアーにはランチが入っていましたが、積丹エリアツアーにはありませんでした。あったらよかったなと思います。

I was glad to be taken to many places I wanted to visit. There were some issues like lack of communication about the meeting point, traffic rule violations, and insufficient explanations, but they were within an acceptable range.

たくさんの行きたい場所に連れていってもらえて、良かった。集合場所の連絡不足、交通規則違反、説明足らずなど有ったが、まあ許容範囲。

You can actually see scenes where training for each job role is taking place. The person who guided us was a flight attendant, and it was very enjoyable as they shared stories from their own training experiences.

実際に各職種の訓練が行われている風景を見ることが出来ます。
案内してくださったのが客室乗務員の方で、実際に訓練されてた経験からお話ししてくださったり、とても楽しかったです。

The staff from All Nippon Airways provided clear explanations, which was very good. It might be worth going not just once, but two or three times.

案内してくださる全日空の方も分かりやすく説明していただき、とても良かったです。
一度ではなく、二度、三度行っても良いかもです

The announcements were made efficiently and thoroughly, allowing us to enjoy sightseeing smoothly at each stop. However, the itinerary was packed and had a tight schedule, so everything felt a bit rushed. It was sufficient as a highlights overview.

準備万端で手際良くアナウンスしてくださったので、どの立ち寄り場所でもスムーズに観光することができました。
ただ企画自体が盛りだくさんでタイトなスケジュールだったので、どこの観光も忙しかった…
様子見ダイジェストとしては十分でした。

On August 13th, the weather was terrible due to the typhoon... The only places we didn't get rained on were the Bear Ranch, Lake Toya, and the Silo Observation Deck. I visit Sapporo every year on weekends, but I can only hit the tourist spots at specific times. Since it was my first 2-night, 3-day trip, I signed up for this tour. I wish the weather had been better... The tour itself was really great, so I plan to try again. I highly recommend it!

８月１３日、ちょうど台風で最悪の天気・・・　雨に降られなかったのは
クマ牧場、洞爺湖とサイロ展望台だけでした。毎年土日で札幌に訪れていますがピンポイントでしか観光地を回れず。初の２泊３日でしたのでこのツアーを
申し込みました。天気がよかったらよかったのに・・・　
ツアー自体はすごくよかったのでまたリベンジするつもりです。
かなりおすすめですよ～

Thank you for your assistance.
The tour guide, Mr. Onodera, was very good. He engaged not only with us but with all the customers, and I felt a warmth from him.
The course was good, but the steep hills at Asahiyama Zoo were tough. It would have been better if we had been informed in advance that there was a shuttle bus to the restaurant from the meeting point.
I was a bit disappointed with lunch. I had high expectations because of the title "Hokkaido Local Buffet," but aside from the Genghis Khan, it was lacking... Considering the tour price, I understand, but I thought the ramen was particularly bad.
In any case, it was great because the tour guide was wonderful.

お世話になりました。
添乗員の小野寺さんがとても良かったです。我々だけでなく、全てのお客様にお声がけしており、温かさを感じました。
コースも良かったですが、旭山動物園の坂道がきつく、途中から集合場所のレストランまでシャトルバスがあったので、その情報を事前にお知らせいただければもっと良かったかな。
昼食は少々がっかりでした。「北海道ご当地バイキング」とのタイトルに期待してしまったせいもありますが、ジンギスカン以外は………。ツアー代金を考えると仕方がないと思いますが、特にラーメンはひどかったと思います。
何にしても、添乗員さんが素晴らしかったので良かったです。

With the guidance of the bus tour guide, I was able to efficiently explore the tourist spots in Ishigaki Island while enjoying the view from the bus window. The sea was beautiful everywhere I went, and it was truly soothing. I highly recommend the glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay, which you can ride for an additional 1,000 yen. I was thrilled to see Nemo, Dory, and various other tropical fish, as well as sea turtles. The captain mentioned that it’s lucky to see a sea turtle. On the way back, I was dropped off at Ishigaki Airport, and I took my flight directly from there. It was really convenient because I didn’t have to carry my luggage around when visiting the tourist spots!

バスガイドさんに案内されながら車窓から、バスを降りて、と石垣島の観光地を効率的に観光できました。どこに行っても海が綺麗で癒されました。川平湾のグラスボートは追加で1000円で乗れるのでぜひオススメです。ニモやドリー、他にも様々な南国のお魚、ウミガメも見れてテンション上がりました。ウミガメを見れたら運がいいと船長さんが言ってました。帰りは石垣空港で降ろしてもらい、そのまま飛行機でしたが、観光地に寄る時に荷物もいちいち持ち運ばなくて良いし、本当に楽でした！

I finally made it to Cape Kamoi, but due to the heat, time, and my own stamina, I decided to turn back before reaching the tip and enjoyed some delicious ice cream instead. There were others who managed to make the round trip. The beauty of the sea was stunning, looking as if the sugar-coated ocean was connected to the sky. I also had an interesting visit to Tanaka Sake Brewery and was able to purchase yogurt sake. Overall, it was an efficient and mostly peaceful trip, but at Hamazushi, there was a foreigner filling their pot with tea, and since it wasn't replenished, others couldn't drink later. Afterward, the guide gave a warning in Japanese, but it felt meaningless. General notices for foreigners were initially announced in English (though the tea issue was understandably not included), but I thought it would be good to have printed notices in other languages, including reminders about keeping to the meeting time. There were also quite detailed warnings about chatting among companions, which I appreciated as a solo traveler, but it didn't resonate with the foreigners. The tour itself was good, but I felt there was room for improvement in that regard.

念願の神威岬でしたが、暑さと時間、自分の体力の関係で、先端まで行くのは断念して引き返し、美味しいアイスクリームを食べました。頑張って往復された方もいました。海の美しさは衝撃的で、砂糖をまぶした海が空と繋がっているかのように見えました。田中酒造も興味深く見学させていただき、ヨーグルトのお酒を購入できました。効率よく概ね平和な旅でしたが、浜寿司で、お茶をマイポットに満たしておられる外国人の方がいて、補充されず後の方が飲めなくなりました。事後にガイドさんから日本語で注意がありましたが、日本語で意味あるの？という感じでした。外国人への一般的な注意事項は最初に英語の音声が流されましたが（お茶の件はさすがに入っていません）、集合時間厳守も含め、他の言語でもプリントにして渡す等の工夫があってもよいと思いました。仲間同士のお喋りについても、かなり細かな注意があって一人旅の私としては有り難かったのですが、外国人の方には通じていませんでした。内容的には良いツアーでしたが、その点は改善の余地があると感じました。

I highly recommend this for those visiting Okinawa for the first time! There were certainly moments when time felt short, but it didn't mean I couldn't enjoy myself, and I thought it would be nice to revisit places that caught my interest. The guide was also very kind and took photos for us. I'm glad I participated!

はじめて沖縄に行く方にとってもおすすめです！確かに時間は短く感じる場面もありましたが、楽しめない訳では無く、気になった場所には再度行くのも良いなと思いました。ガイドさんもとても親切な方で、写真なども撮っていただきました。参加して良かったです！

The sights are fascinating. You can immerse yourself in the natural wilderness of the mountains and lakes, which are all part of the unique geological formations, from the comfort of various vehicles. Throughout the journey, the tour guide acquainted us with Japanese culture.

I was a bit worried about how it would feel to participate in such a packed plan that would be hard to manage individually. The first stop was Hell Valley in Noboribetsu. The smell of sulfur and the smoke were incredibly impressive. There were stairs and slopes, but there were handrails, so it was safe to walk.

Next, we visited Showa Shinzan and the Bear Ranch. Participation at the Bear Ranch was optional, but everyone joined in. It was fun to see the large bears up close and even feed them! I was surprised to see them raise their hands for food and perform tricks!

After that, we stopped by Lake Toya and enjoyed the canal in Otaru, doing some shopping... The tour guide was really kind, letting us know about great photo spots in advance, taking pictures for us, and recommending souvenirs.

We were blessed with good weather on the day, and thanks to the tour guide (who was from abroad) managing everything and being considerate, we had a great time. We were the only Japanese people in the group, but it was actually nice not to have to worry about that (laughs). This plan with the second person free is quite a bargain!

なかなか個人では回りきれない様な盛りだくさんプランで実際どんな感じなのだろうと内心、心配でした。
最初に行ったのが登別の地獄谷でした。
硫黄の匂いと煙が凄く迫力がありました。
階段や勾配がありましたが手摺りがあり、安全に歩けました。
次は昭和新山と熊牧場。熊牧場は希望者だけでしたが全員参加しました。大きな熊を間近で見れるのと餌やりが出来るので楽しめました！餌が欲しくて手を上げたり、芸？が出来るんだと驚きました！

あとは洞爺湖に寄り、小樽市内で運河を観たり買い物をしたり…
添乗員さんが撮影スポットを事前に教えてくれたり撮影してくれたり、おすすめのお土産を教えてくれたりと本当に親切にしてくれました。

当日は天気に恵まれ、添乗員さん（外国の方）の仕切りや配慮のお陰で楽しく過ごす事が出来ました。
日本人は私達だけでしたが、逆に気を遣わず良かったです(笑)
今回の2人目無料のプランはかなりお得です

Very professional and friendly guides!! And I feel like ANA has a complete visiting plan for the visitors. No doubt about that ANA base tour is the best airline base tour I have ever participated!!
