All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

Riding a water buffalo to Yubu Island was the best part. The person guiding the water buffalo played the sanshin, which really enhanced the Okinawan atmosphere. It was unfortunate that the glass-bottom boat was canceled due to bad weather.

由布島に水牛に乗って行くのが一番良かった。
水牛を引く方が三線を弾いてくださって、沖縄感が凄くしました。
天気が悪くてグラスボートが欠航になったのが残念でした。

The weather was great and it was hot. I think it's wonderful that you can efficiently visit three islands in one day. I was worried about not being able to book a plan with a rental bicycle, but I was able to borrow an electric bike without any issues. Since there were some hills, the electric bike was the best choice! I was glad to ride the water buffalo at the last time while keeping an eye on the clock. However, the water buffalo we rode was quite leisurely and seemed to enjoy the service, so it didn't move very fast, making me anxious about returning the electric bike on time. I hurriedly got off as soon as we entered the water buffalo barn and managed to return it safely, which is also one of the fun memories.

Thank you for your help!

お天気に恵まれ暑かったです。一日で効率良く3島の島巡りが出来るのはとても良いかと思います。レンタサイクル付きプランが申し込めず現地で予約出来るのか心配でしたが無事電動サイクルをお借りする事が出来ました。やはり坂があったりするので電動は最高です！時間を気にしながら最終時間の水牛にも乗れて良かったです。ただ私達が乗った水牛さんはのんびりでサービス旺盛なのか中々進んでくれず電動サイクル返却時間に間に合わないような進み方でハラハラドキドキしながら乗っていました。水牛舎に入るなり慌てて降りて無事返却が出来てこれも楽しい思い出の一つですね。

お世話になりました

The guide's explanations were very easy to understand, and I was extremely satisfied to learn about Yakusugi and the natural environment of Yakushima while seeing it with my own eyes. Although it’s a 10-hour round trip trekking course, the first half on the trolley path is flat, so I think it’s not a problem even for those who don’t usually exercise, as long as they have some walking habit. The second half has steep stairs and rocky areas, but many people of all ages are climbing, so you don’t need to feel too pressured. Most places on the island can arrange breakfast and lunch bento, so there’s no need to worry. Many people were also renting equipment, so even as a beginner in mountain climbing, I was able to climb without any concerns. The Jomon Sugi, which I reached after a tough journey, was breathtakingly beautiful, and it became a wonderful experience that changed my perspective on life. The wildlife, plants, and the climate changes between mist and clear skies were all mystical. I believe it’s worth visiting!

ガイドさんの解説が非常にわかりやすく、屋久杉や屋久島の自然環境など、実際に自分の目で見ながら学べるので非常に満足感がありました。往復10時間のトレッキングコースですが、前半のトロッコ道は平坦なので普段運動していない方でも、普段から歩く習慣が少しでもあれば全く問題無いと思います。後半の山道は急な階段や岩場もありますが、老若男女問わず多くの方が登っているのであまり気負わなくても大丈夫です。朝昼のお弁当は島内の宿で手配できる所がほとんどなので心配要らず、レンタル用品を借りている方も沢山いらっしゃったので登山初心者の私でも心配事なく登ることができました。苦労して辿り着いた縄文杉は圧巻の美しさで、自分の人生観が変わるような素晴らしい体験になりました。野生動物に植物、霧や晴れ間の気候変化、全てが神秘的でした。来訪の価値ありだと思います！！

I participated from outside the prefecture. Since I wasn't familiar with the geography, the transportation was a great help. I was surprised to see many foreign participants who boarded the bus wet without using an umbrella or left their wet umbrellas in the luggage compartment. The tour guide was very kind, and I was happy that they provided directions when I had to leave and use the train. The driver also drove safely. I would like to use this service again if the opportunity arises. Thank you very much.

県外からの参加でした。地理も分からなかったので移動が大変助かりました。参加者の中には外国人の方が多く、傘をささずに濡れたままバスに乗り込む方や濡れた傘を荷台にそのまま置かれる方もいらっしゃったので驚きました。添乗員の方がとても親切で、途中、離脱して電車を利用する時も道案内をして下さり嬉しかったです。運転手の方も安全運転でした。また機会がありました時には利用したいと思います。有難うございました。

We were picked up at 8:30 AM at our accommodation in Yakushima, despite the heavy rain warning, and headed to Shiratani Unsuikyo with our guide and my friend, making a group of three. The rain lightened up along the way, and by the time we arrived, it was manageable without an umbrella. Although we could only walk about one-third of the course today, it was originally a half-day course, so we were able to take our time and enjoy the explanations. The rain had increased the water flow, making it quite impressive, and the green moss was very beautiful. Our guide was kind and it was a great experience.

屋久島が大雨警報の中、宿に８時３０分迎えに来ていただき、ガイドさんと私、友人と３人で白谷雲水峡へ向かいました。
途中から雨も小降りになり、着く頃には傘もなくても大丈夫ぐらいになりました。
今日はコースの3分の1ぐらいしか歩けないとの事ですが、元々半日コースなのでゆっくり説明をしてもらいながら、見学する事が出来ました。
雨が降ったので水量も多く迫力があったし、苔の緑もとても綺麗でした。
ガイドさんも親切でとても良かったです。

The lunch bento was not delicious, which lowered the overall quality of the tour. I felt that there was nothing that exceeded my expectations. It was a tour that needed something more.

お昼のお弁当が美味しくなかったのがツアー全体の質を下げています。
あとはこんな感じかなと予想を上回る物はなかった様に感じます。　
もう一つ何かが欲しいツアーでした。

We had a lovely rainy day on a warm and dry bus. Nice spots to give a good view of Tokyo with a nice lunch. Comfy yellow bus with big windows.

The Shinjuku station pickup spot could be noted a little more clearly. Directions take you to the Hato bus office so we went very early and caught someone. It wasn’t clear that they would be there the whole time or locked up so just know there is a 1 and 2 bus stop just for Hato on the street directly across from the Starbucks that is outside from the office (not across the street, but just a straight walk out towards the street). The pole sign will call out their different packages and they will be there to ensure you’re on the right bus.

Since I came to Japan for sightseeing from Colombia, I definitely wanted to experience a World Heritage site, so I participated. There were many Asian tourists, and I was one of the few Japanese people there. Shirakawa-go is indeed very popular in the Asian region! My friend had only seen snow a few times, so they were amazed by the climate and scenery. Although most of the thatched roofs were nearly free of snow, it was snowing on the day of our visit, and it was quite cold. Some people were dressed in a way that looked cold, so I felt like I was shivering every time we passed by each other. There were also areas where the snow had melted and the ground was muddy, so I think it's better to wear waterproof and comfortable shoes.

The free time at both spots was two hours, which was just the right amount of time for sightseeing, eating, and shopping. Everyone kept to the schedule, and I think the event went smoothly. The staff were kind and provided explanations in Japanese, English, and Chinese, and they distributed pamphlets, which was very thoughtful.

コロンビアから日本に観光しに来てくれたので、ぜひ世界遺産をと思い、参加しました。アジア系の観光客が多く、日本人は私くらいでした。さすがアジア圏に大人気な白川郷ですね！！友人は雪を数えるほどしか見たことがなかったため気候、風景全てに感動していました。合掌造りの屋根はほぼ雪が溶けていましたが、当日は雪が降っておりかなり寒かったです。寒そうな格好をしている方もいたので、すれ違うたびにこちらが震えそうでした。雪が溶けて、土が沼っているところもあったので、防水であったり、動きやすい靴の方がいいと思います。
自由時間は両スポットとも2時間で観光+食べ歩き+買い物でちょうどいい時間でした。皆さん時間も守っており、スムーズに催行されたと思います。スタッフの方は優しく、日本語、英語、中国語で説明しており、パンフレットを配布したりなど親身で良かったです。

Although it rained at the tourist site, the rain stopped at Daishi Forest Park, allowing us to enjoy our visit. After leaving Daishi Forest Park, it started to rain again, but since we were sightseeing indoors, it was a relief. I didn't pay much attention to the time, so I thought I could have taken it a bit slower. Next time, I would like to visit the courses I didn't go to. I would love to participate again. Since I don't have a driver's license, it was a very valuable experience.

観光地で雨に降られましたが、大石林山は、しっかり雨も上がり、観光できました
大石林山を後にすると、また、雨が降ってきましたが、建物の中での観光だったので助かりました、時間配分を気にしてなかったので、もう少しユックリ回れば良かったかなと思いました、次回は、行かなかったコースにも行きたいと思いました、また、参加したいです
運転免許を持ってないので、とても、貴重な体験ができました

There’s no need to rush or dawdle; I felt the timing was just right! The fish at the aquarium were large and impressive (the baby fish were small and cute), and the ocean was more beautiful than I could have imagined. Also, the souvenirs had a wide variety, with many stylish items that made choosing quite a challenge! By the way, there were more foreigners participating in the tour than locals (perhaps that’s why the guide was also a foreigner).

焦ることもダラダラすることもない
ちょうど良い時間設定だと感じました！
水族館の魚たちは大きくて立派（子供の魚たちは小さくてかわいい）、海は想像を超える綺麗さでした
あとお土産もかなり品揃え豊富で、選ぶのが大変なくらいおしゃれな物が多かったです！
ちなみにツアーに参加してた方々は、外国人のほうが多かったです！（そのためかガイドさんも外国の方でした）

I was able to learn about Ishigaki Island. The guide's stories were interesting and enjoyable. The glass-bottom boat was a reasonable 1,000 yen, which was great. On the way back, I was dropped off at Ishigaki Airport, allowing me to make good use of my time.

石垣島の概要を知ることができました。ガイドさんの話も面白くて楽しかったです
グラスボートが1000円で楽しめて、良心的でした。
帰りは石垣空港で降ろしてもらえて、時間を有効に使えました

This was my first time participating in such a tour. I was particularly impressed to learn about the various professions involved in operating an aircraft and to witness the high level of safety awareness up close.

初めてこのようなツアーに参加しました。
1機の飛行機を飛ばすのに様々な職種の人たちがかかわっていることを知り、また、安全意識の高さを間近で見聞きすることができた点は特に良かったです。

I had wanted to see Jomon Sugi in Yakushima for a long time. Last September, I decided to go in March of the following year and researched various options, booking round-trip flights, accommodations, and a tour. Finally, the long-awaited trip to Yakushima began. I arrived on the evening of March 3rd.

On March 4th, I woke up at 3 AM and took the bus at 4:01 AM. After having breakfast and using the restroom at the Arakawa trailhead, we set off at 5:50 AM, starting our hike while it was still dark. We walked 8.5 km along the tramway, took our last restroom break, and then tackled the challenging 2.5 km stretch, managing to get through the heart-pounding stairs as well.

We arrived at Jomon Sugi at 11:05 AM without any issues. The lunch we had at the hut above Jomon Sugi was incredibly delicious. The guide took many photos for us, and we returned to the trailhead almost on schedule, arriving at 4:05 PM. My calves and thighs were sore, but I was truly happy that my dream had come true. Thank you very much to the guide for everything.

前から一度、屋久島で縄文杉を観てみたいと思っていました。
昨年９月、よし来年３月行こうと色々と調べて、往復飛行機　宿　ツアーの申込をしました。
いよいよ待ちに待った屋久島へ
３月３日夕方到着しました。
３月４日午前３時起床、４時１分バスに乗りました。
荒川登山口で朝食、トイレを済ませ５時５０分出発、まだ暗いうちから歩き始めました。トロッコ道を8.5km進み、最後のトイレ休憩を済ませ、難関の2.5kmを一所懸命歩き、心臓破りの階段もなんとかクリアしました。
そして縄文杉に午前１１時５分、無事に到着しました。
縄文杉の上の小屋でのお弁当は最幸に美味しかったです。
ガイドさんが何枚も写真撮影をしてくださり、帰りもほぼ予定通り４時５分登山口へ到着、ふくらはぎも太もももパンパンになりましたが、夢が叶えられて本当に良かったです。
ガイドさん色々とありがとうございました。

The course was great, and the timing was just right. The Korean male guide was very pleasant, and the combination with the driver was good, allowing us to spend the day comfortably. It was nice to have a relaxing time with the goats and water buffalo at Ryukyu Village. I was looking forward to Bant Cafe, but it was cloudy, windy, and cold, so I want to try again.

I have been using bus tours that allow you to visit various places in one day without renting a car every time I stay in Naha. I look forward to more enjoyable courses in the future!

コースも良く時間配分もちょうどよかったです。韓国人の男性ガイドさんがとても感じが良くてドライバーさんとのコンビも良く1日気持ちよく過ごせました。琉球村にヤギや水牛がいてコースの中でのほのぼのタイムでよかったです。楽しみにしていたバンタカフェは曇りで風が強く寒かったのでまたリベンジしたいと思いました。
レンタカーしなくても1日で色々回れるバスツアーは那覇滞在のたびに利用しています。今後も楽しいコースを期待しています！

I went on a sightseeing trip to the snowy Shirakawa-go for the first time. Since public transportation is inconvenient for one person, I signed up for a day trip bus tour from Nagoya. It was through Veltra, and it seemed to be a tour aimed at inbound customers, as I was the only Japanese person on the bus along with the driver (the rest were from China, Hong Kong, and South Korea). I felt a bit lonely before departure, but the tour guide (from China) was very considerate towards me, so I was able to enjoy the sightseeing with peace of mind. It was a lot of fun. Thank you very much, tour guide.

初めて雪の白川郷に観光に行きました。１人だと交通が不便なので名古屋からに日帰りバスツアーに申込みしました。
ベルトラ経由だったのですがインバウンドのお客様向けのツアーだったようで、バスの中の日本人は私と運転手さんだけだったので（残りは中国、香港、韓国の方）発車前は心細い思いをしましたが、添乗員さん（中国の方）が私にとても気を遣ってくださったので、安心して観光ができました。
とても楽しかったです。
添乗員さん、どうもありがとう。

It was great to see various sights on the bus tour. The explanations were provided in both English and Japanese, and there were some funny talks, which made it enjoyable. The food was good, and the dessert was the most delicious. I made wonderful memories of my trip to Kyoto.

バスツアーで、いろいろ観て回れたので
良かったです。
英語と日本語で説明してくれて、
笑えるトークもあり、楽しかったです。
お料理は、デザートが一番美味しかったです。
京都旅行の良い思い出ができました。

My wife and I came to Tokyo to run the marathon and had limited time available to sightsee. This tour hit so many items on our hit list and the conductors were so knowledgeable about the history of the places. The only downside is that we wish we had more time to explore some of the places like the temples and the imperial gardens, but I understand with all the places we needed to get in that just wasn't possible. The only thing I might change is the cruise part since there just wasn't much to see on the cruise and the tour guides couldn't really talk much during the trip because there were other passengers not from our group. I would have preferred to get additional time at either of the temples. However it was still enjoyable and if we return to Tokyo we would definitely consider doing this tour again.

I was able to visit the famous spots in Okinawa in just one day, and both my friend and I were very satisfied. Nago Pineapple Park was colorful and very beautiful. There were many places to take photos, and it was a lot of fun.

I was worried about the weather, but it turned out to be sunny, and we were able to see the beautiful ocean. The bus guide was also very kind, and we were well taken care of throughout the day.

沖縄の名所を1日でまわることができて、私も友人も大満足でした。ナゴパイナップルパークは色鮮やかでとても綺麗でした。写真を撮るところもたくさんあって楽しかったです。
天気も心配でしたが無事に晴れ、綺麗な海も見ることができました。バスガイドさんも親切な方で1日大変お世話になりました。

Since it was my first time in Ishigaki Island, I decided to join. It drizzled a bit at times, but it didn't interfere with the glass-bottom boat experience! The lunch was delicious, and the guide even sang for us, making it a full and enjoyable day. It's also great that they stop by the airport on the way back, making it convenient to join on the last day. There were participants from the cruise ship as well. It seems there were also users from the remote island terminal. It's reassuring that they check the schedules and make adjustments!

初の石垣島だったので参加しました。時々雨がぱらつきましたが、グラスボートには支障なく参加しました！
ランチも美味しかったし、ガイドさんは歌を歌ってくれましたし盛り沢山でした。帰りに空港に寄るので最終日に参加するにもいいです。クルーズ船からの参加者もいました。離島ターミナル利用者もいたみたいです。便を確認して調整してくれるのは安心ですね！

My first time in Ishigaki Island.
It was a solo trip, and it's a shame the weather was bad.
But it became a good memory. I want to come again.

初めての石垣島
しかもひとり旅　お天気が悪かったのは残念
でもいい思い出になりました。また来たいです。

The tour had many participants from Taiwan, and the main language of the guide was Mandarin. There were also announcements in Japanese, which sometimes had amusing phrasing, and it was fun to experience cultural differences, like not needing to arrive five minutes early for the meeting time. The Asahikawa Zoo in the snow had a unique appeal in winter, and I was moved by the beautiful scenery. Returning on time and choosing to get off in Susukino made it convenient to go out for dinner.

台湾の方が多数参加のツアーで、ガイドも北京語？がメインでした。
日本語の案内もあり、たまにちょっとおかしな言葉使いに笑えたり、集合時間は五分前じゃ無くて大丈夫とか、文化の違いも感じられて楽しかったです。
雪の旭川動物園は冬ならではの見応えもあり、美しい景色にも感動しました。
時間どおり帰り、すすきの下車を選択して、夕食に出かけるにも便利でした。

Although it was unfortunately rainy, I was able to enjoy sightseeing slowly while swaying in the water buffalo cart. I was moved by the guide's narration and songs, making it a valuable experience. I would like to experience it again on a sunny day next time.

生憎の雨でしたが、水牛車にゆられ、ゆっくり観光を楽しむことができました。船頭さんのガイドと歌に心打たれ、貴重な体験が出来ました。
次は晴れの日に再度体験したいです。

The guide was easy to understand and kind. I'm glad I was able to participate! If there’s another opportunity, I would appreciate it.

ガイドの方が、わかりやすく親切でした(⁠•⁠‿⁠•⁠)
参加できて良かったです！
また、機会がありましたら、宜しくお願いします。

We were able to hear explanations about the houses and plants while riding a water buffalo around half of the island, along with the tour guide's island songs. After that, we had free time to explore the island. I wish we had a bit more free time to relax.

水牛で島半分位を回りながら家屋や植物の説明など、添乗員の島唄も聞けました。そのあとは自由時間で島の観光ができました。もう少し自由時間があるとゆったりできたかな

Taketomi Island was amazing. I couldn't book the plan with a rental bicycle included because it was fully booked, but I was able to get one on-site, so I had a great time. It might be a good idea to increase the number of rental bicycle reservations available.

竹富島最高でした
レンタル自転車付きプランが満で予約出来なかったけど現地で調達出来たので楽しめました。
レンタル自転車の予約枠は増やした方がいいかも？

I was grateful for the tour guide who explained in both English and Japanese since my husband is American! It was very easy and convenient to visit a wide range of sightseeing spots by bus. The tofu lunch was also delicious. Since there is quite a bit of walking, comfortable shoes are a must. Even though it was the off-season, there were still a lot of tourists, and it was quite crowded, so choosing the bus tour was the right decision.

主人がアメリカ人なので、英語と日本語両方で説明して下さる添乗員の方が有り難かった！　広い範囲の観光名所をバスで周れるので、とにかく簡単で楽ちんでした。　お昼のお豆腐ランチも美味しかった。　結構歩くので歩きやすい靴は必須。　オフシーズンでしたが、それでも観光客がとても多くて、ゴチャゴチャしてますのでバスツアーにして正解でした。　

The mangrove cruise in Iriomote Island had a surface as clear as a mirror, reflecting the mangrove forest, and the tranquility was wonderful. From Iriomote, we leisurely traveled to Yubu Island on a water buffalo cart while listening to shamisen performances. The botanical garden was filled with large plants I had never seen before. Strolling through the unique village of Taketomi Island, I was moved by the sounds of the sanshin and Okinawan folk songs I heard on the water buffalo cart, creating an extraordinary experience. For lunch, everything was very delicious. The glass-bottom boat was a bit disappointing, but overall, I highly recommend it!

西表島のマングローブクルーズは水面が鏡のように澄んでいてマングローブ林が映り込み静寂とても良かった、西表から由布島のんびりと水牛車で三味線演奏聞きながら移動、見た事のない大きな植物が生い茂る植物園。竹富島の独特な集落散策など、水牛車で聴いた三線の音色と沖縄民謡に感動し非日常な体験しました。お昼ご飯は、どれもとても美味しくいただきました。グラスボートはイマイチでしたが、全体的にはお勧めです！！

I signed up for a tour because I found it cumbersome to rent a car for my solo trip to Okinawa. Unlike traveling individually, there are time constraints at each location, so I checked information in advance and decided on must-see spots.

Before arriving at each location, the bus guide provided tips on how to enjoy the sites and pointed out important details regarding time management and restroom availability, which allowed me to enjoy the experience with peace of mind.

Although it was a group tour, I had the freedom to move around as I pleased after arriving at each site, so I never felt cramped. I also had the luxury of using a two-person seat by myself on the bus.

Overall, I felt that this tour was a perfect fit for me, and I was very satisfied. Thank you!

沖縄一人旅に際し、レンタカーを借りるのが面倒でツアーを申し込みました。
個人で回るのとは違い各所で時間の制約があるため、事前に行先の情報をチェックしてここだけは絶対というところを決めておきました。
各所の到着前にバスガイドさんから楽しみ方や見どころを教えていただけたり、時間配分やトイレについて注意点を伝えていただいたりと、安心して楽しむことが出来ました。
団体のツアーですが、各所到着後は自由行動で好きなように動けるため、窮屈感を感じることは全くありません。
バスも２人席を１人で使用させていただきました。
今回のツアーでは自分的には良いとこ取りで大満足でした。
ありがとうございました。

It was a 5-hour course with Tokai Kotsu Taxi. I learned a lot of information that I wouldn't have known if I had driven around myself, and I was very satisfied. We visited the family home of Yoko Gushiken, the snack shop of Rimi Natsukawa's mother, a local delicious ice cream shop, and a place for sata andagi, among others. The explanations flowed smoothly, and the singing was excellent; it felt just like being on a sightseeing bus. Truly a professional experience, and I was very satisfied!

東海交通タクシーの5時間コースでした。レンタカーで自分で回ったのでは知り得ない情報をたくさん教えていただき、大満足です。具志堅用さんの実家、夏川りみさんのお母様のスナック、地元の美味しいアイスクリーム屋さん、サーターアンダギーのお店などなど。
澱みなく説明が続き、歌もお上手で、まるで観光バスに乗っているようでした。さすがプロという感じで、大満足！

I participated in this tour because an Australian child staying with us wanted to visit Miyazaki. It was during the Lunar New Year holiday, and the bus was almost full. I was told by the guide that most of the customers were from Chinese-speaking regions, so the main language for the tour would be Chinese.

Having lived in China for two years, even though I couldn't understand everything the guide said in Chinese, the sounds were nostalgic, and I really enjoyed it.

The content of the tour was wonderful, and the lunch was luxurious and very delicious. I also got to know the people I met on the tour, and we had a great time riding the boat together and taking photos!

オーストラリアの子がホームステイしている時に、宮崎に行ってみたいということでこちらのツアーに参加しました。
ちょうど旧正月のお休みでバスはほぼ満席。中国語圏のお客様がほとんどで、案内は中国語が主になります。とガイドさんに言われました。
私は中国に2年間住んだことがあり、ガイドさんが話す中国語がわからなくても、音が懐かしく、とても楽しめました。

ツアーの内容は素晴らしく、お昼ご飯も豪華でとても美味しかったです。
ツアーで知り合った人達も顔見知りになり、一緒にボートに乗ったり、写真を撮り合ったり、とても楽しめました！
