All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

I had the opportunity to visit ANA's training facility. Even though I use ANA regularly, I had never considered the behind-the-scenes work. The training facility for various operations was very informative.

実際にANAの教育施設を見学させて頂きました。日頃ANAを利用しても裏方の仕事まで考えたことはありませんでした。色々な業務の教育施設でとても参考になりました。

For a good and affordable boat, it's best to sit in the middle towards the back.

I had a great time at both Iriomote Island and Yufu Island.
You should definitely reserve a rental bicycle in Taketomi!
I can't imagine walking 15 minutes to the village; it's tough and hot.
If you want to fully enjoy Taketomi, renting a bicycle is a good idea! However, if you only have 80 minutes for the rental, it feels rushed to visit the famous spots, so for those who want to take their time on Taketomi Island, a tour focused solely on Taketomi might be better.

船は良い安い方は真ん中の後方に座るのがベストです。

西表島も由布島も楽しかった。
竹富ではレンタサイクルを絶対に予約すべき！
集落まで徒歩１５分なんて考えられないキツさと暑さだと思う。
竹富も満喫したいならレンタサイクルが良いです！でもレンタサイクル８０分だと、有名なスポット急いでまわる感じなので、ゆっくり竹富島で過ごしたい方は、竹富だけのツアーが良いのかもです

The day went by in a flash. I thought it would have been nice to have a bit more time at Lake Toya so we could enjoy lunch more leisurely.

The bus guide seemed to have a tough time speaking three languages, but it was interesting to hear different languages and the stories were entertaining.

一日あっと言う間だった。
洞爺湖の時間がもう少し長い方が昼食をゆっくり出来たと思いました。

バスガイドさんが3カ国語話して大変そうだったけど色んな言語聞けて話もおもしろかった。

Although the weather forecast predicted rain, it hardly rained at all, and I was able to explore the area. I hadn't originally planned to take a boat ride, but the water level was so high that it was canceled. Near the waterfall, I was able to take off my mask and enjoy the negative ions. The guide was fluent in Chinese, English, and Japanese, which made me feel at ease and allowed me to enjoy the tour without any worries. It was just as good as the Tsunoshima tour I took the day before.

あいにくの雨予報でしたがほぼほぼ降らずに何とか見て回れました。
元々舟に乗る予定はなかったのですが増水で中止になるくらい水嵩があり滝の近くではマスクもはずしてマイナスイオンを満喫できました。
ガイドの方は中国語、英語、日本語全てできる人で気にかけてもらえたので不安もなくツアーを楽しめました。
前日に行った角島ツアー同様に良かったです。

I participated in a tour with my sixth-grade and fourth-grade children. We wanted to visit Kouri Island, which is difficult to access individually, and the tour included admission to the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium and Nago Pineapple Park. The time allocation was appropriate. Although lunch was scheduled at the aquarium, we decided to eat in the car to avoid the crowds and maximize our playtime. In the end, that worked out perfectly. Just being on the bus and having someone take us around made it easy to relax and enjoy the experience.

小6年生と小4年生を連れて、ツアー参加しました。
個人では、行けない古宇利島に行きたくて、美ら海水族館、名護パイナップルパーク入場料まで付いて周遊。時間配分も適切なものでした。美ら水族館での昼食配分になっていましたが、混雑を心配、遊べる時間にしたい為、昼食は、車中で自弁にしました。結果、ちょうど良かったです。バスに乗っているだけで、連れて行ってくれるので、安心して楽しめました。

We were a bit worried as an 80-year-old couple about the day tour from 8 AM to 5:30 PM, but on the bus, the tour guide's precise earphone signals allowed us to enjoy the history and details before the sightseeing.

At the pineapple plantation, we rode a vehicle to tour the grounds and then walked through the botanical garden, where we were surprised to see many dinosaur sculptures.

At the Churaumi Aquarium, the three hours of visiting time flew by. We were very satisfied with the trip, as we were able to see the dolphin show, whale sharks, and manta rays.

Thank you for your assistance.

朝8時～5時30分までの一日コースで夫婦共に８０歳の私たち少し心配していましたが、バスの中では、添乗員さんの的確なイヤホン合図で観光の前に歴史や
詳細がわかり楽しむことができました。
初めのパイナップル園では乗り物に乗り園内を見学した後歩いて植物園見学しましたが、恐竜のオブジェがたくさんあったのには驚きました。
美ら海水族館では、３時間の見学時間もあっという間に過ぎてしまいました。
イルカショーやジンベイザメ・マンタも見る事でき大変満足した旅ができまいた。
お世話になりありがとうございました。

The tour guide was humorous and enjoyable!! We also had a delicious lunch in Shirakawa-go! Gokayama was very quiet... but I don't think I could move there. The washi paper-making experience was great! I had a rich day of travel.

添乗員さんのガイド…ユーモアもあり楽しめました!!また白川郷でのお昼ごはんも美味しくいただく事が出来ましたﾖ!五箇山とっても静かで…でも移住は出来ないかなぁ～と…紙すき体験は良かったですﾈ!旅の濃い一日を過ごせました

Unfortunately, since the cherry blossoms are not blooming, it just turned into a situation of going around in circles on the bus, and because there are cancellation fees, I couldn't change my plans either, which was a bit disappointing.

残念ながら桜が咲いてないと、ただバスでグルグルまわっているだけとなり、キャンセル料金もかかるため、他にプランの変更も出来ず、ちょっとがっかりした

I knew about the Chinese language guided tour when I applied, and I chose it based on the schedule and content, and I participated! There were only two of us Japanese, but the guide spoke Japanese, so we were able to enjoy it without any inconvenience. If there’s another opportunity, I would like to participate again!

中国語ガイドツアーと申込み時に分かっていましたが、日程と内容で選び、参加させてもらいました！
日本人は私達2人のみでしたが、ガイドさんは日本語も話せる方なので、何の不自由もなく楽しめました♪
また機会があれば、参加させていただきたいです！

Water buffalo cart: The water buffalo was so cute, and it was amazing to ride for 10-15 minutes while they played the shamisen and sang. You can take photos here, so I highly recommend it! Be sure to try the gelato on Yufu Island. When you arrive on the island, head straight to the spot where you can interact with the water buffalo and take pictures! If you don't go first, it gets crowded, and you won't be able to visit other places.

Rental bicycles: If you plan to explore by bike, there's not much time, so I think three spots is about the limit. Kaiji Beach → Kondoi Beach → a café ☕️ might be just the right amount of time to enjoy. I recommend the café at Parlor Painu Island for mango café, kakigori, or coffee.

水牛車：とにかく水牛さんが可愛くて、10〜15分乗りながら三味線を弾いて歌ってくれるのは最高でした。写真も取れるしここはおすすめ！由布島のジェラートは絶対食べて。島に着いたら1番に水牛さんと触れ合えて、写真が撮れるスポットに進んで！1番に行かないと混んじゃうから。他が回れなくなる。

レンタルサイクル：自転車で色々と回ろうと思うと結構時間がないので、3スポットぐらいが回れて限界かな。
竹富島のカイジ浜→コンドイ浜→カフェ☕️が時間たっぷり使ってちょうど良い時間かも。
オススメカフェは、パーラーぱいぬ島のマンゴーカフェorかき氷orコーヒー

My first time in Yakushima, and the trekking route to Jomon Sugi was wilder than I had heard, providing a great sense of accomplishment, but my thighs were sore. Out of the 22 kilometers round trip, 17 kilometers were on a cart path, which felt a bit long, but then it suddenly turned into a wild trail. I thought it might be a bit challenging for elderly participants. I believe it would be helpful if the tour details included more information about this aspect for those considering joining.

初めての屋久島､縄文杉までのトレッキングルートは聞きしに勝るワイルドさで、達成感はたっぷりですが、太ももがパンパンになりました。往復22キロのうち、トロッコ道が17キロもあり少々長いですが、その後いきなりワイルドな道？になるので、高齢者の方にはいささか無理だなと思いました。その辺りの事をツアーの内容に詳しく書かれると､参加の検討の際に参考になると思います。

I searched online and made a reservation because the Ishigaki Island option tour for the Queen Elizabeth cruise was fully booked. The website's explanation was easy to understand, and I had a fun day.
1. It was cheaper than the option tour.
2. The sightseeing spots were sufficiently covered.
3. I was able to ride a glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay.
4. The guide was knowledgeable and informative, and the conversation was entertaining.

クイーンエリザベスクルーズの石垣島オプションツアーが満席のため、ネットで検索し予約しました。Webの説明がわかりやすく楽しい一日を過ごせました。
　①オプションツアーより安かった
　②観光地は十分網羅されている
　③川平湾でグラスボートに乗れた
　④ガイドさんの知識が豊富で勉強になったうえ、会話が面白い

The tour itself was enjoyable, with the captain providing explanations about the islands, the bus driver giving insights, and the boatman during the water buffalo cart ride and Nakama River cruise all being very kind and thorough in their guidance. I had a great time exploring. However, when I asked the staff at the counter for suggestions on how to pass the time after returning to port and before my next schedule, I was a bit disappointed that there were no particular recommendations, as it might have been outside their service.

ツアー自体は道中の船長さんの島々の解説やバスの運転手さんの解説、水牛車、仲間川クルーズの船頭さんなど皆さん懇切丁寧に説明、ガイドしてくださり楽しく周遊出来ました。
帰港してから次の予定までの時間が空いた時の時間潰しをカウンターの方に伺っても、サービス外かもしれませんが特に提案が無かったのが残念かなとおもいました。

It was a fun day being taken around places that are not accessible individually by bus. The guide's explanations, gourmet information, and souvenir tips were all excellent.

個人では行けない場所に、バスで回ってもらって、楽しい１日となりました。
ガイドさんの、説明やグルメ情報、お土産情報、とてもよかったです。

I traveled alone as a woman. I could have rented a car from Naha to the Churaumi Aquarium, but since it was my first time in Okinawa and I wasn't familiar with the roads, I decided to join a tour. In the end, I’m really glad I did! My destination was just the Churaumi Aquarium, but I was able to see other sights as well, which was very helpful. During the ride, the bus guide shared a lot of information, making the journey enjoyable. And above all, the bus guide was funny! Thank you, Kyan-san and the driver.

女性1人旅行で利用しました。
那覇→美ら海水族館までレンタカーでもよかったけど、1人だし初めての沖縄で道に慣れていないので、ツアーに申し込みました。
結果的に利用して本当によかったです！
目的地は美ら海水族館だけだったけど、他も一緒に観光できて助かりましたし、走行中、バスガイドさんがいろいろ教えてくださり、道中も楽しく移動することができました。
そして、何よりバスガイドさんが面白い！
きゃんさん、運転手さんありがとうございました。

It started pouring rain in the morning, but by the time I got on the bus, it cleared up, and when I arrived, it was like a blessing from the heavens. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom, the food was delicious, and I met wonderful people. I was guided by kind locals in Kanazawa, coming from Hokkaido, and it was an impeccable experience. I was also overwhelmed by the many tourists from abroad. Japan is truly amazing!

朝からの大雨でバスに乗ったら晴れてきて、着く頃にはめぐみの雨？
桜が丁度満開、食事も美味しくて、良い人にも出会えたし、北海道から来て金沢も優しい人に案内されて、申し分のない時間でした。
ほとんど外国からのツアー客にも圧倒されました。
日本は素晴らしいですね

The tour guide was great, able to speak English and very efficient. The lunch was sashimi, and it was delicious. The hike at Oishi Forest was also enjoyable.

添乗員さん、英会話も出来てテキパキして良かったです。 ランチはお刺身でしたが、美味しくいただきました。大石林山のハイキングも楽しかったです。

I came to Sapporo for sightseeing with my colleagues from work, but everyone ended up doing different activities like watching a baseball game or visiting hot spring facilities in the city. I really wanted to go to Lake Toya, so I joined this tour by myself.
There were over 40 participants, and half of them were foreigners. I thought it was impressive that the guide was alternating between Japanese and Chinese.

When I actually went to Lake Toya, I realized that not only is the beauty of Lake Toya remarkable, but the majestic view of Mount Yotei, which can be seen from anywhere in the area, was also very impressive. I could truly feel that Mount Yotei is part of the landscape in the hearts of the people living in this region.

会社の同僚と札幌に観光に来ましたが、他のものは野球観戦だったり市内の温泉施設にとバラバラで行動することに。自分はどうしても洞爺湖に行きたかったので一人でこのツアーに参加しました。
４０人以上の参加者がいましたが半分は外国の方で、ガイドさんも日本語中国語と交互にガイドされていてすごいなと思います。

実際に洞爺湖に行って気づきましたが、洞爺湖そのものの美しさもさることながら、この地域一帯どこからでも見ることができる雄々しい羊蹄山の景観が大変印象的でした。この地に住む人々の心象風景に必ずあの羊蹄山があるのだなと実感することができました。

I thought that 80% of the participants were foreigners, so I assumed it was for international travel. I didn't expect to be able to converse in English while sightseeing in Kyoto.

参加者の方が外国の方が8割で海外旅行かと思いました。京都観光で、英会話ができればとは思いませんでした。

This year, the cherry blossoms bloomed later than usual, so they weren't in full bloom, but I think I was able to see quite a few flowers. The guide's talk was very informative, and I was surprised by how much I didn't know about the historical background and new discoveries, even though I live in Tokyo. It was really great. It was a tour that made me want to participate every year.

今年は桜が遅咲きだったので、満開とまではいきませんでしたが割と咲いている状態を見れたと思います。ガイドさんのお話がとても為になり、歴史的背景や新しい発見など、東京在住なのに知らない事が多くて驚きましたしとても良かったです。毎年参加したいなと思えるツアーでした。

This was my first time participating. First of all, I felt that the attendant, the flight attendant, was wonderful. Their friendly way of speaking, mixed with personal anecdotes about their own mistakes, left a great impression.

初めて参加させて頂きました。まず、アテンドして頂いたCAさんが素晴らしいと感じました。自身の失敗談を交えながら親しみのある話し方が好印象でした。

I couldn't see the mangrove roots due to high tide, but it was nice to take a route I don't usually travel. The water buffalo were really calm and doing their job well. It was great to be back after seven years.

満潮の時間でマングローブの根っこは見れませんでしたが、いつもは通らない航路で良かったです。
水牛は、本当に大人しくしっかり仕事してますね。
７年ぶりでしたが、良かったです。

I was surprised to find out that the tour was for foreigners after the application had ended, and I participated with a bit of anxiety.

As expected, I was the only Japanese participant (since I was traveling alone) on this tour. It was also my first trip to Kyushu.

However, in the end, it was okay.

The explanations were mostly in Chinese, but the tour guide was kind and explained the important things in Japanese. As long as I knew the meeting time, I was mostly free to explore, so I was able to enjoy myself✌️

Beppu was really great, but I was disappointed that I couldn't take a bath.

I definitely want to try again.

申し込みが終了してから、外国人向けのツアーだと知ってびっくりしつつ、少し不安を持って参加しました。

やはり今回のツアーでは、日本人は、私だけ(一人参加でしたので)でした。
九州旅行も初めてでした。

でも、、結果としては、大丈夫でした

説明は、9割は中国語でしたが、添乗員の方が親切で大事なことは日本語で教えて下さいましたし、集合時間さえわかっていれば、ほぼ自由行動でしたので、楽しむことが出来ました✌️

別府がすごく良かったのですが、お風呂に入れず残念。

是非リベンジしたいと思ってます。

I participated in the same tour two years ago. Last time, I couldn't see much of the scenery due to rain and wind. This time, there was fog and haze at Cape Earth, but at Lake Toya, it was clear, and I could see the beautifully snow-covered Mount Yotei. Last time, Lake Shikotsu was completely dark, but this time I was able to see the large lake, which was satisfying. I think it's great for those without a rental car since it allows for efficient travel.

2年前に同じツアーに参加しました。前回は雨や風でほとんど景色もみえず。
今回は地球岬では霧や霞もありましたが洞爺湖では晴れて雪の被った羊蹄山も綺麗にみえました。前回は真っ暗な支笏湖でしたが大きな湖を見ることができ満足です。効率よくまわれるのでレンタカーがない人にはとても良いと思います。

A tour that efficiently visits the three islands of Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island in a short amount of time. The boat is shared with a large tour group, and there are about 70 participants in this tour itself. A system has been established to efficiently handle a large number of tourists. At each location, the guidance is smooth, almost like an assembly line. It may feel a bit impersonal, but I suppose that's within the acceptable range for tourist spots...

I chose a free plan for Taketomi Island without much thought, but it takes about 15 minutes on foot from the port to the town center. I didn't have the energy to go further to places like Kondoi Beach, so I returned to the port. Even if it costs a bit more, I think it's better to have a rental bicycle with a shuttle service from the port to the town center or a bus tour from the start. By the way, there is a rental bicycle available for 600 yen for 2 hours once you reach the town center, but be careful as you can't return it at the port.

Overall, the tour was compact and allowed us to visit the three islands, which was great.

時短で効率的に、西表島、由布島、竹富島の三島をめぐるツアー。
船は大手ツアーと混載、またこのツアー自体も70人くらいの参加。
効率よく大量に観光客をさばくシステムが確立している。
行く場所行く場所で流れ作業のごとくスムーズに案内される。
少し味気ないが、まあ観光地あるあるで許容範囲か…

竹富島は、よくわからずフリープランにしたが、船着場から中心地までは徒歩15分はかかる。そこからさらにコンドイ浜等に行く体力もなく、船着場にトンボ帰りした。
多少お金がかかってもこの島ははじめから、船着場から中心地まで車の送迎があるレンタサイクルか、バス観光がベターだと思う。ちなみに、中心部まで行くと2時間600円のレンタサイクルはあるが、船着場での乗り捨てが出来ないので要注意。

ツアー自体はコンパクトに三島周れて良かった。

This is a tour completely designed for Chinese tourists. I recommend it for those who don't mind that. The guide provides information in Chinese, English, and Japanese. Both the bus driver and the guide were very pleasant people. I wanted to enjoy a hot spring in Yufuin, so I spent one hour at a nearby day-use bath within walking distance, and the remaining hour was spent sampling food. It was a fulfilling trip!

完全に中国系観光客用ツアーです。気にならない方にはオススメです。
ガイドさんは中国語、英語、日本語で案内してくれます。
バスの運転手さんもガイドさんもとても感じのいい人でした。
私は湯布院で温泉に入りたかったので歩いて行ける日帰り風呂で1時間、残りの1時間で食べ歩きをしました。
充実した旅でした！

I had a great time. At first, I was a bit anxious because there were many tourists from China, but the guide's support was generous and kind, including explanations about the trip and guidance for lunch. When we gathered, I was a little worried because it seemed like the same place as other tours, but as long as I followed the guide and the flow of people, it was fine!

とても楽しかったです。
はじめは中国からの観光の方が多く不安でしたが、旅の説明も含め、昼食の案内などもガイドさんのサポートが手厚く親切でした。
集合のときも、ほかのツアーと同じ場所のようで少し不安でしたが、ガイドさんと人の流れに乗っていれば大丈夫でした！！

This time, the guide was a pilot trainee. I was able to hear stories from a pilot's perspective, and I had a great time.

今回の案内役はパイロット訓練生の方でした。パイロット目線でのお話を聞くことができて、楽しく過ごすことができました。

There were many foreigners, and the guide was from China, mostly speaking English, but they were very kind and made for a fun trip. I was able to chat a little with the guide, who was very good at Japanese and a wonderful person. Everyone participating seemed to be having a great time. Conversely, it felt refreshing to experience a familiar course alongside foreigners.

外人さんが多く、ガイドの方も中国のかたで、ほぼ英語でしたが、とても親切で楽しい旅行ができました。ガイドさんとも少しお話しできましたが、とても日本語上手で、素晴らしい方でした。
参加の皆さんも楽しそうでした。逆に慣れ親しんだコースを外人さんと一緒に回るとこうなるんだと新鮮な気持ちになりました。

I learned about the scenery visible from the train window, recommended souvenirs in Shirakawa-go, and the experience of standing and drinking cloudy sake, which I wouldn't have known otherwise. It was also interesting to see visitors from various countries, and the guide's English helped me practice my listening skills. I was surprised to find that the area beyond the tunnel was a snowy landscape, and I thoroughly enjoyed the unique experiences that only a bus tour can offer. Fortunately, the weather was also nice.

車窓から見える景色の説明や白川郷でのお勧めのお土産や濁り酒の立ち飲み等自分たちでは知り得ないことが知れたのと、様々な国の方が訪れていることも分かり、ガイドさんの英語でリッスニングの勉強にもなりました。トンネルを抜けた先が雪景色の別世界だったのも驚きで、バスツアーならではの楽しみも満喫できました。お天気が良かったのも幸いしました。
