Japan
A facility that guides us to a comfortable journey through the skies. Although I couldn't see the actual training, just listening to the explanations about the facility was enlightening, even though I'm not an employee. I would like to go again.
私たちを心地よく空の旅へと導いてくれるための施設。実際の訓練は見られなかったけど施設の説明を聞きながら見るだけでも社員ではないけど身が引き締まる感じで勉強になりました。また行きたいです。
The view at Cape Kamoi was breathtaking, and I was moved when I arrived. I saw some people in sandals, but that's dangerous. I felt that sneakers and a decent level of fitness are necessary due to the many ups and downs. I enjoyed the dolphin show at Otaru Aquarium.
神威岬が絶景で到着した時は感動しました。サンダル姿の方も見かけましたが危険です。アップダウンが多いためスニーカーかつそれなりの脚力が必要と感じました。
おたる水族館はイルカショー楽しみました。
I participated because it was packed with places I wanted to visit. Although the weather was unfortunate, the tour guide shared various information and had enjoyable conversations with us. The tour progressed on time, and I was able to return earlier than expected, making it a satisfying experience!
行きたかった場所が詰まっていたので参加させてもらいました。
あいにくの天気ではありましたが、いろんな情報も教えてもらいながら、楽しいお話もしてくださった添乗員さんも、時間通りにすすんで思った以上に早めに帰れて満足できたツアーでした♪

The tour's flag had a noticeable color scheme, making it easy to spot the guide. The guide led the tour in Chinese (main), English, and Japanese.
There were some changes to the itinerary due to weather and local conditions, but that’s part of the travel experience. The driver worked in coordination with the guide to provide the entire itinerary without reducing our time at each stop. The notification about changes to the visit locations before departure also contributed to a sense of reassurance with the organizing company.
It was pouring rain on the Yufutsu Highway, but I was very satisfied with the delicious Yufumabushi and the relaxing stop at a hot spring.
The guide's stories on the bus offered a glimpse into how foreigners view Japan and what interests them, which was a refreshing experience.
It was a very relaxed and pleasant bus tour. If you’re someone who doesn’t mind a bit of an away feeling, I think you can enjoy it at a great value. I… definitely want to participate again! (*^▽^*)
ツアーの旗が目立つ配色で、ガイドさんがどこに居るのか分かりやすくて助かりました。ガイドさんは中国語(メイン)英語日本語でツアーを率いてくださいました。
天候と現地事情で多少の内容変更はありましたが、それも旅の醍醐味。運転手さんと連携して、全行程を滞在時間減らす事なく提供してくださいました。出発前に、訪問地変更の連絡があった事も主催会社への安心感に繋がりました。
ゆのつぼ街道でどしゃ降りでしたが、由布まぶしに舌鼓をうち、立ち寄り湯でのんびり出来て大満足でした。
バスの中でのガイドさんのお話は、海外の方には日本がどう見えてるのか、何が興味深いのか、垣間見る事が出来て、それもまた新鮮な体験でした。
とても自由な雰囲気で和やかに過ごせたバスツアーです。アウェイな感じに抵抗感無い方なら、お得に楽しめると思いますよ。私は…また是非参加したいです(*^▽^*)
The weather was favorable, and we had plenty of time at our stop. However, I didn't check the start time for the dolphin show at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium in advance, so when we arrived, it was already nearing the end. Since our stay at the aquarium was only two hours, including lunch, it would have been wiser to limit our time exploring the exhibits and head straight to the highlight, the dolphin show.
For those who are not primarily interested in shopping, the stop at the Okashi Goten may not be appealing. The English-speaking guide was full of hospitality. The driver also assisted the guide, showcasing great teamwork. It was unfortunate to see some participants from the Chinese-speaking region frequently arriving late for the gathering.
天候に恵まれ、立ち寄り先の滞在時間は十分でした。ただ、美ら海水族館のイルカショーの開始時間を前もってチェックしておかなかったので、駆けつけた時は既に終了間際でした。昼食時間を入れて水族館の滞在は2時間のため、館内見学はほどほどにして、目玉のイルカショーに向かった方が賢明です。
ツアー参加が、買い物メインでない人には、御菓子御殿の立ち寄りは興味がないところでしょう。英日喋るガイドさんはホスピタリティーに溢れていました。ドライバーさんもガイドさんを補助されて、チームワークの良さが見えました。中華圏の参加者で、よく遅れて集合する人達が散見されたのは残念でした。
Since I was traveling with my elderly mother, we used taxi sightseeing for the first time. They efficiently guided us through Kenrokuen without requiring much walking, accommodating my mother's limited mobility, and they were flexible in responding to our requests. Thanks to them, we had a very enjoyable and enriching experience exploring Kanazawa! I would like to use their services again. Thank you, Hashimura-san.
高齢の母との旅行なのでタクシー観光を初めて利用しました。足が弱い母に合わせて、兼六園をあまり歩かずに満足できるようぎゅっと効率よく回ってくださったり、リクエストにも柔軟に応えて下さいました。おかげでとても楽しく濃い金沢観光が出来ました!また利用したいと思います。橋村さんありがとうございました。
Dear Ajisai, thank you very much for using our sightseeing taxi service. We are relieved to hear that you enjoyed your time exploring Kanazawa with our staff. We would be grateful if you could use our service again on your next visit.
あじさい様、この度は弊社観光タクシーをご利用いただき誠にありがとうございました。弊社乗務員とともに、金沢観光を楽しんでいただけたようで安心いたしました。またお越しの際はご利用いただけますと幸いです。
On a weekday with less than ideal weather, the crowd was just enough that if you waited a bit, you could take good photos. On weekends, it seems that even getting into the parking lot can be quite a struggle, and things may not go according to schedule. I think it's best to participate with some extra time to spare. The tour guide, who has visited many times for work, was very kind and, although they mentioned they couldn't provide a full guide service, they shared recommended spots and popular souvenirs. The bus was nice, and with careful driving, I didn't experience any motion sickness, which I had been worried about.
平日で天気が良くなかったので、少し待てば良い写真が撮れる程度の混雑具合でした。休日だと駐車場に入るのも一苦労のようで、スケジュール通りに進まない事があるようです。時間に余裕を持っての参加が良いと思います。何度も仕事で訪れている添乗員さんはとても親切で、ガイドは出来ないとおっしゃりながらもおすすめスポットや人気のお土産を教えて下さいました。良いバスと丁寧な運転で、心配していた車酔いも全くありませんでした。
Dear Ohi,

The waves were high and a bit murky due to the season, but the tour staff were all energetic and cheerful, making it a lot of fun! There were many people on the tour, but it was great that they kept us in smaller groups as much as possible. It was reassuring for children and those who are not good at swimming to be well taken care of! The time spent on the phantom island was not short and was just the right amount. However, some people did experience seasickness, and the back of the boat did not have a roof, so for those who need it, motion sickness medication, sun protection, and hats are essential!
波が高く季節的に少し濁ってはいましたが、ツアーのスタッフ達がみんな元気で明るく、たくさん楽しませて下さいました!ツアー自体は一緒に行く人が沢山いたのですが、なるべく少人数グループにしてくださったのもよかったです。子供や泳ぎが苦手な方でもきちんと見てもらえて安心です!幻の島の滞在時間も短くなく丁度いい時間でした。ただ船酔いしてる方もいらっしゃったのと、船の後ろの方は屋根がついていないタイプだったので、必要な方は酔い止め、日除けや帽子必須です!
The tour was compact, lasting four and a half hours including lunch, which was perfect since we used it while the cruise ship was docked. The sightseeing spots like Kabira Bay and Tamatorizaki were beautiful, but the best part was the guide who explained everything so well. With a slow, gentle tone and a touch of humor, they even played the sanshin and sang for us. The lunch featured local ingredients, including Ishigaki beef hamburgers, Yaeyama soba, mozuku, and goya, all of which were very delicious.
昼食込みで4時間半とコンパクトにまとめられたツアーで、今回クルーズ船の寄港中に利用したのでちょうどよかったです。
川平湾や玉取崎などの観光スポットはきれいでよかったのですが、それを上手に説明してくれるガイドさんが最高でした。ゆっくり優しい口調でユーモアも交え、三線を弾きながら歌まで歌ってくれました。
昼食も石垣牛のハンバーグや八重山そば、もずくやゴーヤなど地元の食材を使ったものでとてもおいしくいただけました。
The tour was the best course to fully enjoy the summer in Ishigaki Island, including the phantom island and Taketomi Island sightseeing. The instructor was kind and took lots of photos and videos. The freedom to explore Taketomi Island at your own pace was also a big plus! It was definitely a tour that makes you want to visit Ishigaki Island again!
まぼろしのしまも、たけとみじまかんこうも

I signed up for the "Jomon Sugi Tracking Tour" yesterday, but I received a cancellation notice from the tour company in the evening due to bad weather. However, they also suggested an alternative tour, the "Shiratani Unsuikyo," and I switched to that. The guide and the other participants were friendly, making it a very enjoyable tour. I was informed that there would be a reduction in fees, so please process that as soon as possible.
昨日の「縄文杉トラッキングツアー」に申込みましたが前日の夕方頃ツアー会社から天気不順により中止の連絡がありました。が、同時に別ツアー「白谷雲水峡」の提案をいただき、そちらに変更しました。ガイドさん同行した方とも気さくで大変楽しいツアーになりました。減額されるとのことなので早目よ手続きをお願いします。
Hokkaido is known for having no rainy season, but the Cape Earth, which I wanted to see the most in clear weather, was completely obscured by rain and fog. Could this be the rumored Shiroi Koibito?
However, I was able to see the beautiful paper-cut landscape by Hideyuki Fujikura that I saw the day before at Sapporo Mitsukoshi at Lake Toya!
I want to make a comeback in a few years!
梅雨のない北海道ですが、一番晴れて欲しかった地球岬が、雨と霧で全く見えませんでした。
もしかして、これが噂の白い恋人ですか?
ただ、前日札幌三越で見た藤倉英幸さんの美しいはり絵の風景が洞爺湖では見れました!
また何年後かにリベンジしたいです‼︎
Upon arriving at Yakushima, they helped me adjust the shoe size during the rental item handover at the airport, and even though my hotel was different, they assisted with luggage storage and transportation to another hotel, which was very helpful.
However, the guide was quite unresponsive, and the rental raincoat did not protect against the rain at all, leaving my T-shirt completely soaked. It was at a level where I couldn't understand why I even rented it.
屋久島到着日の空港でレンタル品の受け渡しで靴のサイズを合わせてくれたり、送り迎えでホテルが違うにも関わらず、荷物の預かりと別ホテルへの送迎もしていただけてとても助かった。
ただ、ガイドさんは塩対応だし、レンタルのレインコートは全く雨を凌げず中のTシャツまでべったべた。
さすがに何のためにレンタルしたのか分からないレベルでした。
The guide provided information in both English and Japanese for the foreign guests besides myself. The sightseeing schedule was relaxed, allowing us to enjoy at a leisurely pace. The hotel lunch buffet was also wonderful, but next time I would like to try buying melon bread and other snacks at Mount Fuji.
私以外外国人の方でガイドは英語と日本語で
案内してもらえました
観光の時間もゆったり組んであったので
ゆっくり楽しめました
ホテルのランチバイキングも素敵だったのですが

It was my first time seeing Jomon Sugi. I had heard that the round trip distance was 22 kilometers horizontally and 750 meters vertically, which sounded quite challenging, so I trained to build my stamina. If you have the stamina to comfortably run about 10 kilometers in an hour, you should have no problem climbing. There were five people in my party besides the guide and myself, but unfortunately, one person had to retire midway due to a cramp (possibly a muscle strain?), so I recommend preparing yourself physically to some extent.
I brought my own clothes and towels, but I rented a backpack, hiking boots, and a raincoat from the tour, which was sufficient. If you prepare everything yourself, light gear should probably be fine, but the ground is very slippery, so hiking boots are a must. I also requested a lunch box from the tour, and while I think it was just ordinary in taste, the scenery made it taste better. I prepared for cold and insect protection, but those might not have been necessary. I climbed at the end of June, and the raincoat was sufficient for warmth; there were hardly any bugs, and there were no leeches (I was quite worried about that...).
Considering the time of year, it was miraculous to have good weather, and it was truly an emotional experience. (The guide and the party were great too!) Seeing it with my own eyes and feeling the impact of the experience is irreplaceable compared to images online. I highly recommend it!
初の縄文杉でした。水平距離往復22キロ、垂直距離750メートル、結構過酷な行程と聞いていたので、走り込みで体力つけて備えました。1時間で10キロ程度を楽に走れる程度の体力なら問題なく登れます。同行のパーティーはガイドさんと自分を除いて5人居ましたが、そのうち1人は残念ながら足が攣って(肉離れかも?)途中リタイアだったので、折角ならある程度体力つけて備える事をオススメします。
装備は服とかタオルだけ自分で持っていき、レンタルでリュックと登山靴とレインコートをツアーで借りましたが十分でした。全て自前で用意する場合も軽装で多分大丈夫ですが、足元は非常に滑るので、登山靴はマストです。お弁当もツアーでお願いしましたが、本当は普通の味だと思うのですが景色の分美味しく感じました。他にも防寒や防虫等備えましたが、要らなかったかも。6月末に登りましたが、防寒はレインコートで十分、虫もほとんど居らず、ヒルは出てきませんでした。(大分、心配してたんだけど。。。)
天気に恵まれたのは時期を考えると奇跡的でしたが、本当に感動的な体験でした。(ガイドさんもパーティーも良かった!)ネットの画像ではなく、自分の目で見て、迫力を感じる経験は他に代えがたいと感じました。是非オススメします!
The highlight of my three-day girls' trip to Fukuoka was the Itoshima tour. This was all thanks to the thoughtful consideration of our driver, Mr. Matsuda. I was able to enjoy a seafood bowl lunch that I had almost given up on, and I felt a profound sense of awe visiting the Senju-Sengen Kannon at "Raizan Senjō-ji Daihiō-in," which is the top power spot in Fukuoka. Additionally, I highly recommend the "Akiya no Daimon cruise," suggested by Mr. Matsuda, who read the tide and weather perfectly for the day. I was deeply moved to see the caves formed by erosion up close while being splashed by the waves of the Genkai-nada. Furthermore, thanks to the low tide, I was able to get right next to the torii gate at the iconic couple rocks of Futamigaura in Itoshima. We thoroughly enjoyed sightseeing at all the famous spots, and the memorable photos taken with Mr. M, who joined me on this trip, made it the best journey filled with smiles. This itinerary was something I could never have achieved on my own. If I have the opportunity again, I would definitely like to participate in a bus tour.
2泊3日の女子旅、今回の福岡旅行で1番心に残る観光が糸島ツアーでした。すべては、担当してくださったドライバーの松田様の粋なご配慮のおかげです。半ば諦めていた海鮮丼ランチも堪能し、福岡一のパワースポットである「雷山千如寺大悲王院」の千手千眼観音様をご参拝し霊験あらたかな感動を覚えました。また、この日の潮の流れと天候を読んでドライバーの松田様がご提案くださった「芥屋の大門の遊覧船」もお勧めです。玄界灘の荒波にそそり立ち海蝕によってできた洞窟を、波飛沫を浴びながら間近で見ることができ大変感動しました。さらに、糸島の象徴である二見ヶ浦の夫婦岩は、引潮のお陰で鳥居すぐ側まで行くことができました。名所々を余すことなく観光し、各地での記念写真は、今回の旅で同行したM様との出会いで、笑顔に満ち溢れた 最高の旅となりました。個人旅行では成し得ない行程の数々でした。またこのような機会がありましたら、是非バスツアーに参加したいと思います。
Considering the price, it felt about right. What I really want to emphasize is that the tour guide should make it easier to find the tour by displaying the tour name or something similar during the morning gathering. Everyone was anxious because they couldn't find their tour. Moreover, the tour guide arrived late, and there wasn't enough time for a bathroom break after check-in before the departure time.
内容は値段から考えて、まあこんなもんかって感じ。とにかく何よりも言いたいのは、朝の集合の時にツアーガイアの人はツアー名を書いた表示をするとかもっと探しやすくする工夫をした方がいい。みんな自分のツアーが見つけられなくて不安になっていた。そもそもツアーガイドは来るのも遅くて、チェックイン後、出発時間までにトイレの時間取れない。
Unfortunately, it rained on the day of the tour. I think it's just one of those things in nature, so I participated anyway, and the tour content was wonderfully well thought out! If it had been sunny, the scenery and colors would have been different. I want to try again!
当日は、残念ながら雨。
自然の事なので仕方ないと思い参加したが、ツアー内容は、良く考えられた素晴らしかった!
晴れていたら、景色・色合いもまた違うんだろうな。
又、チャレンジしたい!!
The weather forecast didn't promise any sunny spells, but gradually, the clouds cleared during the tour, and we were able to see a beautiful blue sky!! I was dozing off a bit during the bus guide, but I think they provided quite a bit of information. The seafood bowl for lunch was disappointing, but the sea urchin I ordered was very delicious, and I was satisfied with the larger portion than I expected!!
天気予報では晴れ間は期待できなかったですが、ツアー途中からだんだんと雲が少なくなりキレイなブルーに会えました!!
バスでのガイドもうつらうつらしてましたが、かなり案内をしてくれていたと思います。
ランチの海鮮丼は期待外れでしたが、注文したウニはとてもおいしく、思ったより量も多くて満足でした!!
It was the rainy season, so it rained on the day of the bus tour as well. Unfortunately, we couldn't go to Manzamo, but we had a great time at Pineapple Park and the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. It was also raining at Pineapple Park, but we could ride small cars around the pineapple fields, so the kids enjoyed themselves regardless of the rain. The tour guide shared a lot of information about Okinawa on the bus, making the ride enjoyable too.
梅雨の時期だったので、バスツアー当日も雨でした。残念ながら万座毛には行けずでしたが、パイナップルパーク、美ら海水族館で楽しめたので良かったです。パイナップルパークでも雨でしたが、雨でも園内は小さい車に乗ってパイナップル園を回れるので子ども達は雨関係なしに楽しんでて良かったです。バスでは添乗員さんが沖縄について色々と話してくれるので、バスの中も楽しかったです。

I definitely recommend the bus tour. I didn't rent a car so I was looking for things to do... the bus tour took us to 5 different attractions. It was great, didn't need to worry about driving and even fell asleep on the way back after all the walking all day. Just do it, you won't regret it! A+! I even booked another 3 attraction bus tour for a different day. If you are thinking about going, think no more and just book the bus tour. Thanks Phil

The guide skillfully used three languages to create an enjoyable bus trip. People from various countries were on board, and we engaged in cross-cultural communication by taking photos together. The tour condensed the highlights of Hokkaido into a short time, making it an ideal choice for first-time visitors to Hokkaido.
ガイドさんが3ヶ国語を駆使して楽しいバス旅行を演出してくださいました。
いろいろな国の方が乗っていらして、写真を撮りあったりと異文化コミュニケーションにもなりました。
短時間で北海道の名所が凝縮されており、初めての北海道にはうってつけのツアーだと思います。
The weather was a bit disappointing for sightseeing as it was rainy and then sunny, but I was able to enjoy the dynamic scenery and the townscape of Otaru. However, from the pickup instructions at the meeting point to the gathering time announcements at the sightseeing drop-off points, the primary language used was Chinese, with Japanese explanations being minimal. The staff, except for the driver, were from China and were friendly, but it was unfortunate that I had to be extra attentive to not miss the announcements about the meeting place and time. The previous day's tour had a perfect guide team with both Japanese and Chinese guides, which made the difference even more noticeable.
雨が降ったり止んだりの天気だったので観光はちょっと残念でしたが、ダイナミックな景色や小樽の町並みは堪能できました。
ただ、ピックアップ地での乗車案内から途中の観光下車地での集合時間案内まで、基本は中国語で日本語案内はオマケ程度でした。スタッフもドライバー以外は中国の方で、フレンドリーではあったのですが、集合場所▪時間の案内を聞き逃さないように気を使う必要があったのが残念です。
前日のツアーが日本人▪中国人のタブル添乗員でのバッチリ案内だったので余計に差を感じました。
I arrived at Ishigaki Airport at 12:30, rented a car, and reached the Ishigaki Port Ferry Terminal around 13:30. I had reserved a half-day course starting at 14:30, but I had plenty of time.
There are shops and small eateries inside the Ishigaki Port Terminal, but I thought it would have been nice to eat outside beforehand. Several tour companies are located within the terminal, and when I went to the one I had booked and told them my name, they guided me. Since I went before checking into the hotel, I was also able to leave my luggage at the counter!
The boat was fast but not so much that it made me feel seasick. We arrived at Taketomi Island in about 15 minutes, and from there, it seemed to be a 15-minute walk to the water buffalo experience location, but with kids in the heat, taking the bus was a good choice. We were quickly guided to the water buffalo experience and set off. We had a relaxing time, learning about Taketomi Island and the water buffalo, and at the end, they played the sanshin and sang for us, making for a wonderful experience. We took commemorative photos at 15:40.
After that, I could choose to return to the Ishigaki Port Terminal at either 16:00 or 17:00, so I thought about staying until 17:00 to rent a bicycle. However, it seemed they only rented until 16:00, so I aimed to walk to Kaiji Beach and Kondoi Beach. But with a 4-year-old in the blazing sun, it was quite tough. I decided to just go to Kaiji Beach, took a quick photo, and hurried back to the water buffalo area, barely catching the 16:45 bus and returning to Ishigaki Port Terminal on the 17:00 ferry.
It's important to check the rental bicycle hours, and for those who want to take their time at the beach, I recommend a morning or full-day course. Drinks were also available for purchase at Taketomi Port.
Since the water buffalo experience was the main plan, it was great, but I also wanted to see Kondoi Beach. The sea isn’t immediately visible; you have to walk quite a distance to see it.
I wrote this hoping it might be helpful to someone. It truly became a wonderful memory! I recommend it for families with children.
12時半に石垣空港着で、レンタカー借りて13時半頃には石垣港離島ターミナルに着けていました。14時半〜の半日コースを予約してましたが、時間には余裕がありました。
石垣港ターミナル内にも売店や小さな食堂はありますが、外で食べてきてからでも良かったなと思います。
石垣港ターミナル内にいくつか観光会社が入っていて、予約したところに行って名前を伝えると案内してもらえました。またホテルチェックイン前に行ったので手荷物も窓口で預かって貰えました!
船は速さもあり酔うほどではなかったです。15分程度で竹富島に到着して、そこからバスで水牛体験の場所へ歩いても15分程の距離みたいですが子連れで暑い中だったのでバスでよかったです。水牛体験もすぐに案内されて出発。ゆったりした時間を過ごせました。竹富島の事、水牛の事、いろんなお話を聞かせていただき最後には三線演奏と歌も歌ってくださりとても良い時間を過ごせました。記念撮影もして15時40分。
そのあと16時と17時の石垣港ターミナルへ戻る時間を選べたため、17時まで滞在して自転車を借りようと思いましたが、16時までしか貸し出ししてないようで徒歩でカイジ浜とコンドイ浜を目指しましたが4歳の足で炎天下の中無理がありかなりしんどかったです。カイジ浜だけにして到着してもサッと写真撮影してすぐに水牛の所へ戻って16時45分発のバスにギリギリ乗り込み、17時の便で石垣港ターミナルへ戻りました。
レンタサイクルの時間の確認が必要なのと、ゆっくりビーチの時間も取りたい人は午前中か1日コースがオススメです。
ドリンクは竹富港でも購入出来ました。
水牛体験がメインの予定だったので良かったですが、コンドイ浜も見てみたかったです。海はすぐ見えるわけではなくかなり道を進まないと見えないです>_<
誰かの参考になればなと思い書きました。
ただ本当にとても良い思い出にはなりました!子連れにもオススメです。
The guide spoke fluently in Japanese, Chinese, and English, and provided a very polite tour. The weather was nice, and I was able to spend a relaxing and pleasant day. Thank you for your assistance.
ガイドさんは日本語、中国語、英語と3ヶ国語を流暢に話し、とても丁寧に案内してくれました。
お天気も良くてゆったりと気持ちの良い一日を過ごすことができました。
お世話になりありがとうございました。
The weather was favorable, and Yakusugi Land was easy to walk through without needing poles. I was glad to encounter various types of moss. The droplets resting on the moss sparkled beautifully. I reflected on the passage of time as I observed the second generation growing based on the first. I was also pleased to see the Jomon cedar.
天気にも恵まれて屋久杉ランドはポールもいらず、歩きやすかったです。いろんな種類の苔にも巡り逢えて良かったです。苔に溜まった雫がキラキラしてました。1代目を元に2代目が成長して行く有様に悠々と流れる時の長さに想いを馳せました。
紀元杉も見られて良かったです。
The tour guide spoke Korean for 15 minutes and then said a word or two in Japanese! I didn't really need much explanation, but I felt a bit alienated. The itinerary itself was good.
添乗員さん、15分韓国語を喋って、一言二言日本語!
別に説明してもらうことはそれほどないんですが、何か疎外された感じでした。
旅程自体は、良かったです。
The tour guide spoke mostly in Chinese, and there wasn't much guidance in Japanese. At one point, there was a confusing situation where all passengers were taken to the aquarium just to drop off two participants, which shortened our free time. However, the tour guide did not provide any explanation about this. If I had known from the beginning that this was the kind of tour it would be, I probably wouldn't have booked it even if the price was a bit lower.
添乗員の方が中国語ばかりで、日本語での案内があまりありませんでした。途中で、参加者の2名だけを水族館に連れて行くために、乗客全員が水族館まで連れられるという意味不明な事があり自由時間がその分短縮されるという出来事もありましたが、またそのことについて添乗員さんから何も説明はなく終わりました。始めからこんなツアーだとわかっていたら、少し値段が安くても予約することはなかったと思います。
Arrived in Hokkaido on a flight the night before.
Participated in a tour with Veltra from the morning of the next day.
Visited Noboribetsu Hell Valley, Lake Toya, Cape Earth, Showa Shinzan, and Lake Shikotsu.
Saw a lot of sights. In the evening, I attended a live concert at ZEPP SAPPORO, which was the purpose of this trip.
Returned home on a flight the next morning. Thanks to Veltra, I was able to complete a whirlwind trip to Hokkaido.
前日夜の便で北海道入り
翌日朝からベルトラの観光に参加
登別地獄谷、洞爺湖、地球岬、昭和新山、支笏湖
たくさん見てまわりました。夜からは今回の旅の目的ZEPP SAPPOROでライブ観戦。
翌日朝の便で帰宅。ベルトラのおかげで駆け足の北海道旅行を完成させていただきました。
I was a bit anxious about the language being "Chinese," but as others have mentioned, Japanese was also fine. However, there were 21 participants, and only 3 were Japanese, so the atmosphere on the bus was quite quiet, with everyone adhering to the rules. Kumamoto Castle is still under restoration, but the tours before the earthquake seemed challenging with the stairs, so the elevator was a blessing for elderly couples. Mount Aso had a level 2 entry restriction, so we couldn't go to the crater, which was disappointing. The Kamishikimi Kumanoza Shrine was not on our radar, but we experienced its impressive solemnity, although the climb was tough. Since we were individual tour guests, the return bus became a grand showcase of delicious dinner spots in Hakata from our guide, and we were introduced to a great "motsunabe" restaurant. It felt like a Kyushu gourmet tour with motsunabe, basashi, vinegar motsu, and karashi renkon, and the fatigue from the 8 AM departure and 6 PM arrival was completely lifted. I was very satisfied in a slightly different way. One complaint (perhaps?) is that I applied through VELTORA, and while I received a voucher via email from the organizing tour company, it seems that the actual company conducting the tour is different. It took some time to find which tour was ours at the meeting point at the Chikushi Exit of Hakata Station, which was a bit nerve-wracking.
対応言語が「中国語」で不安もありましたが、他の方も書いていたように日本語も大丈夫でした。ただし、参加者21人、日本人は3人で、台湾・香港の個人ツアー客中心ということで皆さんバスの中も静か時間もきっちり守っていました。熊本城はまだまだ復旧途中ですが地震前のツアーは階段やら大変そうで高齢夫婦にはエレベーターがありがたかったです。阿蘇山は入山規制レベル2で火口まではいけませんでした、残念。上色見熊野座神社はノーマークでしたが、なかなかの荘厳さを味わいましたが登りがきつかった。個人ツアー客ということで帰りのバスはガイドさんの博多のおいしい夕食スポットの大披露会となり、私たちもおいしい「もつ鍋屋さん」を教えてもらい、もつ鍋、馬刺し、酢もつ、からし蓮根と九州旨いものツアーをやったような気分で、8時発18時着の疲れもすっかり取れました。ちょっと違う意味でも大満足でした。一つ、苦情(?)を言えばVELTORAに申し込んで、主催ツアー会社の入ったバウチャーはメールで来てましたが、実際にツアーを実施する会社はまた別なのでしょうか。博多駅筑紫口の集合場所はツアーバスの集合場所でどれが目的のツアーか見つけるのに時間がかかりドキドキでした。
