All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

Is the tour guide Chinese? About 90% of the explanations were in Chinese, with only a small amount in Japanese. Even when they finally started speaking in Japanese, the grammar was so confusing that it was hard to understand. The departure time was changed multiple times from the originally set time. There were no visible signs from outside the vehicle. I realized that the satisfaction level really depends on the tour guide. How about switching to a recorder where we can choose the guide in our native language?

中国籍の添乗員さんかな？9割強は中国語で説明され、日本語は少量。やっと日本語で話し始めても、文法がメチャクチャでわかりづらい。出発時間も決めた時間から何度も変更が入る。車外から見える様な案内もなし。添乗員さん次第で満足度に差が出るんだなと実感。ガイド自体を母国語を選択できるレコーダーに切り替えたらいかがでしょうか？

A trip to Shirahama with eight 82-year-old grandparents who were classmates in junior high school. Since it’s not easy for them to move around a lot, we requested a jumbo taxi that everyone could ride together.

We were picked up at the hotel and taken to various places, including Senjojiki, Engetsu Island, the caves at Sandanbeki, Shirarahama, a seafood senbei shop, and Tore Tore Market. We returned home very satisfied after visiting so many places!

Thank you for your help.
From the daughter of one of the participants.

小中学同級生の82歳おじいちゃんおばあちゃん8人での白浜旅行。せっかく旅行に行ってもなかなかたくさん動くことができないので、皆が一緒に乗れるジャンボタクシーをお願いしました。
ホテルまでお迎え→千畳敷→円月島→三段壁の洞窟→白良浜→海鮮煎餅のお店→とれとれ市場など、いろんなところに連れてもらった！と大満足して帰ってきました。
お世話になりましてありがとうございました

My first solo trip to Hokkaido.
It was a perfect course for visiting major tourist attractions. The number of participants was small, and the bus seats were spacious. I was able to enjoy the sightseeing while gaining various information from the guide's stories. I was satisfied with the creative display methods at Asahiyama Zoo.
It would be helpful if the person in charge at the meeting point could hold a board with the name of the sightseeing course, as it was a bit difficult to identify them.

初めての北海道一人旅。
メジャーな観光地巡りにピッタリなコースでした。参加人数も少なめでバス座席もゆったり。ガイドさんのお話しから色んな情報を得て、観光を満喫する事が出来ました。旭山動物園の展示方法は工夫があり満足でした。
集合時の担当者が分かりにくかったので、観光のコース名等を記載してボードを持って頂けると助かります。

My first visit to Asahiyama Zoo didn't allow me to see the polar bears up close, but I could certainly appreciate their size. I was relieved to capture photos of the brown bears from various angles.
The famous spots like Shirogane Blue Pond and Shirogane Falls were filled with foreigners. I felt a bit overwhelmed by the foreign languages flying around, but it made me feel like I was truly traveling abroad.

初めての旭山動物園、シロクマをまじかで見ることは叶いませんでしたが、その大きさは実感できました。ヒグマはいろんなアングルで写真に収めることができて一安心しました。
白金青い池、しろ髭の滝などの名所は外国人がいっぱい。飛び交う外国語に少々気圧されましたが、その分外国旅行をしている気分に浸れました。

ツアーガイドのマリアは非常に知識が豊富で、助けてくれました。

Tour guide, Maria was very knowledgeable and helpful.

I chose a bus tour because Kyoto can get crowded. The sightseeing was smooth, and it was fun to be on a tour with mostly foreigners, about 90% of the participants. The guide provided explanations in both English and Japanese, which made it easy to understand. However, it was difficult to find a place for lunch at Kiyomizu-dera, so I appreciated the tour that included lunch. Unfortunately, the lunch we received was completely different from the reference photo, which was disappointing. Still, the taste was good.

混み合う京都なので　バスツアーを選びました。
名所巡りもスムーズに出来て　外国人混在で
9割が外国人のツアーで楽しかったです。
ガイドさんも英語日本語で解説して下さり
わかりやすかったです。
ただ　清水寺でランチを取るのは難しいので
ランチ付きツアーで助かりましたが
ランチの参考写真とは　全く違うランチでした
ので残念でした。　それでも味は良かったです。

The day trip by bus in Okinawa was 7,800 yen and included lunch at a luxury hotel. Entrance tickets to parks and other attractions were all included. It would have been nice if there had been a group discount available.

同上。沖縄でバス日帰りは7800円で豪華ホテルの昼食が付きだった。パークなどの入場券は皆ついた。せいぜい団体割引きの提供があれば良かった。

The long-term forecast indicated good weather, but as the date approached, it changed to rain. Still, during the first half, the rain stopped at times, and there were light showers and clouds. The cherry blossom trees in full bloom that I saw from the car were beautiful.
Jigokudani was impressive.
The lunch featuring local vegetables and scallops was delicious, and the round pudding from Bokka was also tasty.
Unfortunately, during the second half, the view from the Lake Toya observation deck and Lake Shikotsu was marred by heavy rain, making it far from enjoyable.

I believe we could have enjoyed the scenery much more if the weather had been better.

長期予報ではお天気の筈が近くなると雨天予報と変わりました。それでも前半は雨が止んだり小雨や曇りとなり、車中から見た満開の桜並木はキレイでした。
地獄谷は迫力がありました。
地場産野菜やホタテを使ったランチは美味しかったですし、牧家の丸いプリンも美味しかったです。
後半の洞爺湖展望台や支笏湖はザンザンぶりの雨で景色を楽しむにはほど遠く残念でした。

天候がよければもっと景色を楽しむ事が出来たと思います。

Honestly, I didn't have high expectations before going, but it was an absolutely wonderful experience! I'm glad I participated. The guide's stories and songs were very pleasant, and the time flew by. The water buffalo were also very smart and cute. This time, the weather was unstable, so I didn't rent a bicycle, but I still had fun with just the water buffalo. I highly recommend it!

正直、行くまではそんなに期待をしていなかったのですが…大変素晴らしい体験でした！参加して良かったです。ガイドの方のお話や歌がとっても心地良く、あっという間でした。水牛もとってもお利口さんで可愛かったです。今回はお天気が不安定だったので、レンタサイクルはしませんでしたが、水牛だけでも楽しかったです。おすすめします！

I think this is a great course for first-time visitors to Hokkaido or those returning after a long time.

The lunch spot is in the Toyako Onsen area, but depending on the day of the week, some of the desired restaurants may be closed, which was a bit disappointing, but it's understandable.

The travel distance is considerable, but you can efficiently visit many sightseeing spots, so I recommend it.

北海道旅行が初めてのお客様や、久し振りのお客様にはとても良いコースだと思いました。

昼食場所が洞爺湖温泉街なのですが、曜日によっては目当てのお店が定休日だったりするので、その点ががっかりでしたが、仕方ない事ではありますね。

移動距離はそこそこありますが、観光名所を効率良く沢山回るので、おすすめです。

There were only two of us Japanese, but Mr. Yamamoto's English guide was very easy to understand and educational. Mr. Sasaki, the driver, also greeted us very pleasantly. It was my first time at Fushimi Inari, and I could see why so many foreigners visit; it has a mystical beauty. If there are any other interesting tours, I would definitely like to participate.

日本人は私達、2人だけでしたが、山本さんの英語のガイドはとても分かりやすく、勉強になりました。
ドライバーのササキさんもとても気持ちの良い挨拶をしてくださる方でした。
伏見稲荷は初めてでしたが、外国の方がこぞって訪れるのがわかる神秘的な華やかさがありました。また、なにか興味をひくツアーがあれば、是非サンカしたいと思います。

It takes about 10 hours round trip to Jomon Sugi!
There was one restroom break along the way, but it went smoothly.
If you're feeling anxious, it might be good to have a portable toilet!
For those returning to Kagoshima by ferry, it's recommended to make a reservation in advance for the high-speed boat as seats fill up quickly!

縄文杉まで往復10時間かかります！
途中トイレ休憩は、一度ありましたが問題なくいけました。
不安の方は、ポケットトイレがあるといいかもしれません！
フェリーで鹿児島に、帰る方は高速船の場合席が埋まるので事前予約おすすめです！

When I arrived at the meeting place for the tour with 16.7 people, there was a Japanese tour guide holding up a sign, but there were many Easy Go flags, and most of the people were Taiwanese or Chinese, so I didn't know who to ask. As time was running out, I asked a man, but he didn't know. Then a female tour guide next to him approached me, and she turned out to be the person in charge—she was Chinese. Most of the tour participants were also Chinese, with one Filipino and just the two of us, a Japanese couple. The explanation was mainly in Chinese, lasting about five minutes, while the Japanese explanation was only about one minute, which was a bit disappointing. There was a ropeway, but due to bad weather, we couldn't see anything at the top. However, I am grateful that we were able to see three hell hot springs instead.

16,7人のツアー集合場所に行くと日本人の添乗員だったら行き先を掲げてるのですがイージーゴーの旗がいくつもあり台湾人やら中国人の方ばかりで誰に聞いたらいいか❓時間がせまり思わず男の人に聞いたらわからずその隣に女の添乗員が話掛けてきてやっと担当の方でした～中国人の人でした。ツアーの参加者も中国人が多くフィリピン人が1人で我々夫婦日本人が2人でした説明も中国語が主に５分説明してたら日本語の説明は１分ぐらいでなんだかね～ただロープウェイがありましたが天気が悪いので上に行っても何も見えないという事で機転をきかして地獄温泉を３つ見れた事は、感謝してます

To my surprise, it was a clear day, and Jomon Sugi was amazing. I was worried about causing trouble for others due to my age and physical condition, but somehow I made it back. If I had gone alone, I probably wouldn't have made it.

The 8.5 km trek along the trolley path was tough. There were times when I felt like giving up. As someone with a fear of heights, crossing the bridge without a handrail was difficult; I was almost in tears, no, I crossed while crying.

Thanks to the guide's pacing, I managed to get through. There were several water sources along the way, so I didn't have to worry about drinking water. In fact, I should have reduced my water intake.

It was the best experience!

まさかのピンポイントにその日は晴れて縄文杉は最高でした。
年齢、体力的に周りに迷惑かけたらどうしようと思いながら行きましたが、何とか帰ってこれました。きっと個人で行ってたら辿り着かなかったかも。
やはり片道8.5kmのトロッコ道はきつかったです。何度か心が折れそうになりました。
高所恐怖症の私には手すり無しの橋が辛かったです、もう泣きそう、いや泣きながら渡りました。
やはりガイドさんのペース配布が良かったから何とかなりました。
水場が何ヶ所かあり、飲めるので飲み水にはこまりませんでした。てか減らせば良かった。
最高でしたよ。

I was able to see the training spaces where the ANA staff work in various departments. Additionally, in some areas, I could observe actual training sessions and learned many interesting things. However, there are areas within the facility where photography is not allowed, so I had to memorize those moments and keep them in my heart. There are also original Blue Base merchandise available, which I recommend for fans of blue-themed airplanes.

ANAの皆さんが、各部署で仕事をするための教育スペースを見ることができました。
また、スペースによっては、実際教育されている場も見れましたし、色々知りたいことも教えてもらえました。
ただし、施設内撮影不可のエリアもあり、目に焼き付ける、心の中に収めておくしかない点もありです。
また、Blue Baseオリジナルグッズもあり、青組飛行機好きにはお勧めです。

Hello, when I first checked in, the service staff said there was no English guide. Therefore, the entire tour explanation will be conducted in Japanese. I don't understand anything they are saying.

こんにちは、最初にチェックインしたとき、サービススタッフは英語のガイドはないと言いました。そのため、ツアー全体の説明は日本語で行われます。何を言っているのか全く分かりません？

The bus trip was fun. I realized that having a higher vantage point gives a different perspective. Since it was Golden Week, both the highways and rest areas were crowded, but I was able to travel comfortably and with peace of mind.

Although there wasn't a guide, we did stop at photo spots where we could take pictures. I wish we could have received a more detailed guidebook.

One slight disappointment was the place where we had our meal. It was on the third floor with only stairs, and the restrooms were only on the second floor, which were mostly Japanese-style and had a long wait. It felt like a cafeteria exclusively for school trips.

バスの旅は楽しかったぁ。目線が高い分また景気が違う事を思い知りました。ゴールデンウィークともあって高速もパーキングエリアも混んでましたが、安心して移動でき快適でした。
ガイドさんはつかなかったけど、写真スポットには来てくれて撮影してもらえました。もっと詳細なガイドブックがもらえると良かったと思います。
チョット残念なのは食事をした所。階段しかない3階で、トイレも2階しかなく、和式中心で待ちました。修学旅行の学生専用の食堂なのかなという感じでした。

If you are late right after boarding, they informed us that they would leave without you, so no one was late for the meeting time. It’s a very good method.
The tour content and viewing time were just right.
I would like to visit other places on another occasion.
Thank you very much.

乗車して直ぐに時間に遅れた場合は、置いていくと伝えてくれたので集合時間に遅れる人はいませんでした。とても良い方法です。
ツアーの内容と見学時間も丁度良い感じでした。
またの機会に他の場所へ行ってみたいです。
ありがとうございました。

I'm glad I was able to go to places that I wouldn't have been able to visit without renting a car! Everything went smoothly and it made it easy to plan my subsequent activities.

レンタカーを借りるなどしなければ行けなかった場所へ行けたため、良かったです！時間通りに進み、その後の予定も組みやすかったです。

It's perfect for a day trip. I walked for about 25 minutes to Cape Kamoi, but the weather was nice and cool, so I didn't get tired. Shiroi Koibito Park is so cute!

一日観光にぴったりです。神威岬まで25分ぐらい歩きましたが、天気が良くて涼しいので疲れなかったです。白い恋人パークは可愛い～

In May, I enjoyed the cherry blossoms still blooming at Hokkaido Shrine. Also, the Otaru Canal and Cape Kamui were beautiful and moving.

5月なのに北海道神宮で桜まだ咲いているので楽しみました。そして、小樽運河と神威岬は綺麗で感動しました。

I went to Hokkaido for the first time and used a bus tour for the first time. It was really convenient. I was able to save travel time and visit various places.

初めて北海道へ行って初めてバスツアーを使っていました。本当に便利でした。移動時間を節約できるし色んなところを観光できました。

I visited Yakushima for the first time in late May and pre-booked this tour. Since it was my first time, I was worried about the cold, so I packed various jackets in my backpack, but they weren't necessary! There was one guide for six members, and half of the group had trekking poles, which I thought were necessary since we were climbing steep areas! It was quite challenging, but climbing while enjoying the beautiful scenery and fresh air felt wonderful. The Jomon Sugi was breathtaking, and I truly felt it deserved its status as a World Heritage site!

5月下旬に初めて屋久島に行きこちらのツアーを事前申し込みしました。初めてだったので寒かったらどうしよう…
と色々上着をリュックに入れて行きましたが必要ありませんでした！1人のガイドさんに6人のメンバーでしたがスティックは半数のメンバーが持っておりやはり険しい山場をお上るので必要だと思いました！なかなか過酷でしたが、素敵な景色と美味しい空気を吸いながら登って行くのでとても気持ちわかったです。縄文杉は圧巻でさすが世界遺産だと思いました！

Since it wasn't the season for flowers to bloom, I thought it would be really nice if you choose the right time. There were few Japanese tourists, and the main language was Chinese, but the somewhat hesitant Japanese guidance was very kind, and the smiles were quite charming. The all-you-can-eat melons were small because it wasn't the right season, but they were incredibly sweet and delicious. There was a time limit, but I enjoyed it enough. Asahiyama Zoo was also very spacious, and there wasn't enough time to see everything, but it had been a while since I visited a zoo, and I enjoyed the various creative exhibits.

時期的にお花が咲いてなかったので、時期を選べばとても良いんだろうなと思いました。
日本人観光客は少なくメインは中国語だったのですが、、おぼつかない日本語の案内もとても親切で笑顔がよく可愛らしかったです
メロン食べ放題も、時期じゃなかったので小ぶりのメロンだったけど、とーーーっても甘くて美味しかったです時間制限はありましたが、十分楽しめました。
旭山動物園もとっても広くて全部を回るには時間が足りなかったですが、久し振りの動物園、、色んな工夫がされてて楽しめました。

Thank you very much for your help over the two days! This was my second time in Shiretoko, but last time the weather was bad, so I couldn't see Lake Mashu or go hiking in the Shiretoko Five Lakes. Thanks to you considering our requests and planning multiple times, we had a wonderful trip to Shiretoko. The guide maintained a comfortable distance, allowing us to relax and enjoy ourselves. Next time, I would like to go see the drift ice!

２日間、大変お世話になりました！
今回は2度目の知床でしたが、前回は天気が悪くて見られなかった摩周湖や知床五湖のハイキングなどに連れて行っていただきました。こちらの要望に答えるため、何度もプランを考えていただいたおかげで、大満喫の知床旅行となりました。
程よい距離感をたもってガイドをしてもらえたので、リラックスして楽しめました。
次回は流氷を見に行きたいと思います！

On the day of the bus tour, I was worried because of the surprisingly heavy rain, but the bus guide said, "This is a view of Okinawa that you rarely get to see!" which I found very positive and liked. At first, I couldn't understand the dialect, but I gradually got used to it, and by the end, we became quite friendly, which was really nice.

As for the tour itself, as everyone mentioned, there were times when we didn't have enough time, but considering going on my own, I was satisfied with being able to visit that distance and those sightseeing spots in just one day.

One disappointment was that I was really looking forward to the unlimited rides on the Yui Rail, thinking we would each get one ticket to go from one end to the other, but it turned out to be just one ticket for one person, which was disappointing.

But I would love to participate again!

バスツワー当日、びっくりするくらいの大雨でどうなることかと思いましたが、バスガイドさんがなかなか見れない沖縄の景色です！とおっしゃっていただいたのが前向きで好きでした。ただ、方言が初め聞き取れずわからなかったですが段々慣れてきて最後には仲良く慣れてとてもよかったです♡
ツワー自体、みなさんおっしゃる通りツワーだけあって時間が足りないことがありましたが自分で行くことを考えたらあの距離と観光地を１日でまわっていただけて満足です⭐︎
残念なのがゆいレールが乗り放題とあり、端から端まで行けるととても楽しみにしておりましたが人数分いただけると思っていたら1人だけだったのが残念でした。
でもまた参加したいです♪

I participated in a solo trip without a rental car. I was glad to be able to see various places in one day. It rained on the day of my visit, so I would like to go again on a sunny day.

レンタカーなしのひとり旅で参加しました。
一日でいろいろなところを観光できてよかったです。
当日、雨が降ってしまったので、また晴れた日に行ってみたいと思います。

Since my 58-year-old mother was with me, we avoided intense activities and opted for this tour instead. The flow was smooth, and it was a meaningful time without any waste. Even during the bus ride, the driver shared stories about Iriomote Island, which was very enjoyable.

58の母がいたので、激しいアクティビティなどは避けこちらのツアーに申し込みしました。
流れもスムーズで無駄のない有意義な時間でした。移動のバスでも運転手の方が西表島の話をしてくれとても楽しかったです。

The aquarium is quite a walk from the bus parking lot, but there is plenty of time to see everything. There are few places to eat, so I think it's a good idea to either get takeout or bring something from a convenience store. Although the other places were short visits, I was able to see a variety of things. Driving around with a rental car is nice, but it was easier not having to drive. At Sam's Sail Line in the evening, we were able to dine as scheduled, and both the performance and the food were good.

水族館はバス駐車場からかなり歩いていきますが、見る時間は十分あります。食事をするところは少ないのでテイクアウトかコンビニで何か持って行くといいと思います。他は短時間ですが、色々回りことが出来ました。レンタカーで回るのも良いのですが、運転しない分楽でした。夜のサムズセーラインは予約通りに食事が出来、パフォーマンスや料理は良かったです。

It was more fun than I expected. I think it would be better to extend the time for the fifth word a little more and shorten the time at Gotemba Outlet a bit. I'm glad the guide was a kind person.

思ったより楽しかった、5語目の時間もう少し伸ばして御殿場アウトレット少し短くてもいい気がします、
ガイドさんが優しい人で良かった、
