All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

Since it was a solo trip traveling only by train and bus instead of by car, it would have been impossible to visit all the places I wanted to see in a short time without using a sightseeing taxi. The driver was very kind and introduced me to a local restaurant that only locals would know about. Moreover, I arrived almost at the same time it opened, so I was able to eat without waiting in line. There were people waiting after me, so I was really grateful to be taken there at the best timing!

車ではなく電車やバスだけで巡る一人旅だったので、観光タクシーを使わなければ短時間で見たいところを全部回るのは無理でした。運転手さんがとても親切で、お昼も地元の人でなければわからないお店を紹介していただいて、しかもオープンとほぼ同時刻に入ったため、並ばずに食べられました。私の後は並んでいたので、ベストなタイミングで連れて行っていただいて有難かったです！

I chose this course mainly for the Churaumi Aquarium. Considering the price, I was generally satisfied with the bus guide's explanations and the punctuality of the meeting times.

However, I was disappointed with the Pineapple Park. The tour guests were guided here by the staff, but unfortunately, most of the people in the tour got lost. It took a long time to get to the exit, and I couldn't ride the cart that I was looking forward to... If they had guided us from the beginning, indicating which way to go for the cart and which way for the park tour, I could have taken the cart. I think it's better not to follow the older gentleman.

美ら海水族館メインでこのコースを選べました。価格からしたら、バスガイドさんの解説があったり、集合時刻の正確さだったり、概ね満足です。
　残念なのは、パイナップルパークです。ツアーのお客様はこちらと、係の人に案内されましたが、いつの間、ツアーの大半の人達は迷子になってしまいました。出口に行くのに時間がかかり、楽しみにしていた、カートには乗れず、、、最初から、カートの人はこちら、園内見学はこちらと案内してくださればカートに乗れたのに、、と思います。おじさんについて行かない方がいいです。

I participated with my elementary school-aged child. It was great that we could efficiently visit major tourist spots like Nago Pineapple Park, Churaumi Aquarium, and Manzamo even without a rental car.

小学生の子連れで参加。レンタカー無しでもナゴパイナップルパークや美ら海水族館、万座毛といったメジャーな観光地を効率良く回れてよかったです。

The driver was very knowledgeable about the island, and we were able to encounter animals like the crested serpent eagle and the water rail that we would never have met if we had just rented a car and explored on our own (just the three of us as a family). It was perfect for our family, who loves animals. I'm glad we chose a private taxi!

運転手さんが島の事をよくご存知で、自分達(家族3人)でレンタカーを借りて回るだけだと決して出会えなかったカンムリワシやクイナなどとも出会えて、動物好きの家族にとっては最高でした。
貸切タクシーにして良かったです！

I was able to tour Aso and Takachiho Gorge starting from Kumamoto. The guide and the bus were great, and I was able to enjoy the sightseeing comfortably.

One thing, the one hour of free time at the Aso crater felt a bit too long; I think it could be shorter.

Everything else was very good.

熊本発着で、阿蘇や高千穂峡を巡ることができました。ガイドさんやバスもよく、快適に観光をすることができました。
ひとつ、阿蘇火口での1時間自由行動は、時間をもてあましました。場所的には、もう少し短くてもよいかと思います。
他はとてもよかったです。

I participated in a hiking tour to the moss-covered forest of Shiratani Unsuikyo. It was a bit rainy on the day of the tour, but thanks to the rain gear included in the rental, I was able to walk comfortably without any issues, even in the rain.

Our guide, Sei-san, was very knowledgeable about the moss and the forest, providing clear explanations and plenty of jokes, which created a fun atmosphere throughout the tour. During the photo sessions, he suggested various poses, allowing us to capture many wonderful memories in photos.

It was a highly satisfying tour where I could also enjoy the unique beauty of Yakushima in the rain.

白谷雲水峡の苔むす森までハイキングするツアーに参加しました。
当日は少し雨が降っていましたが、ツアーのレンタルに含まれているレインウェアのおかげで、雨でも全く問題なく快適に歩くことができました。
ガイドのせいさんは苔や森についてとても詳しく、分かりやすく解説してくださり、冗談も多くて終始楽しい雰囲気でした。
写真撮影ではいろいろなポーズを提案してくださり、素敵な思い出の写真がたくさん残せました。
雨の屋久島ならではの美しさも楽しめる、とても満足度の高いツアーでした。

This was our first time participating as a couple. There was indeed a lot of walking, but I think it's a great deal to be able to visit Fushimi Inari Taisha, Kiyomizu-dera, Kinkaku-ji, and Arashiyama all in one day. The female tour guide was very kind, and her explanations were easy to understand, which was great.

初めての夫婦で参加させてもらいました。歩きは確かに多いのですが一日で稲荷大社、清水寺、金閣寺、嵐山を観光出来るのはお得だと思います。添乗員の女性の方はとても親切で説明もわかりやすく良かったです。

We visited once as a couple in the summer, and it was so wonderful that we decided to gift it to my in-laws for their 70th birthday celebration. Since it was December, I was worried about the temperature and weather, but fortunately, it turned out to be sunny. Although there was some wind, it was warm. I think this season is just right for elderly people—not too hot and not too cold. The only regret I had was that the glass boat tours in Taketomi Island were closed, but we were grateful for the stable enjoyment of the mangroves in Iriomote Island and the water buffalo in Yubu Island, which made for great memories. For families with small children, a tour from spring to summer might be good if they plan to go swimming, but if you’re not going into the sea, this season might be just right. In any case, I realized that this tour is fantastic no matter when you come, so I would like to visit again in a different season to enjoy the changing scenery.

夏に一度夫婦で訪れたのですがとても良かったので、義理の両親の古希お祝いを兼ねてプレゼントしました。12月なので気温と天気が心配でしたが、タイミングよく晴れてくれて風はあったものの温かかったです。高齢者には熱すぎず寒すぎずでちょうど良い季節なのではないかと思いました。竹富島のグラスボートが休業中だったことだけ心残りでしたが、西表島のマングローブや由布島の水牛が安定の楽しさで良い記念になったと感謝されました。小さな子がいるご家庭なら海水浴も想定して春～夏にかけたツアーが良いかもしれませんが、海に入らないならこれくらいの季節がちょうど良いかもしれません。いずれにしてもこのツアーはいつ来ても最高だということが分かりましたので、また違う季節にも来て景色の違いを楽しみたいと思います。

On Iriomote Island, I was able to see the crested serpent eagle and wild boars, and during my transfer to Yubu Island, I had the rare experience of riding a water buffalo cart. It was unfortunate that it rained heavily on Taketomi Island, but the experience was very rich and became a memorable one.

西表ではカンムリワシやイノシシを見ることができ、由布島への移動時、水牛車に乗れて貴重な体験ができました
竹富島では大雨になってしまい残念でしたが、とても内容が濃くて、思い出になりました

The guidance was concise and easy to understand. It would have been nice to have a few more recommended spots. One-third of the participants were Japanese, and two-thirds were foreigners. Everyone was respectful of the rules, making it a comfortable experience.

案内が端的でわかりやすかったです。
もう少しおすすめのスポットを教えていただけたらよかったです。
参加客は1/3が日本人、2/3が外国人でした。
みなさんマナーが守られていて快適でした。

The weather was rainy and not great, but the lighting at the Ishigaki Island limestone cave was beautiful. I was lucky to see sea turtles on the optional glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay. The view from Tamatorizaki Observatory was also amazing. I thought it would be even more wonderful if the weather had been nice, and I felt like I wanted to visit again. For lunch, I had Okinawan home-cooked dishes, which had a gentle flavor. I would like to come back again when the weather is nice.

天気は雨模様でイマイチでしたが、石垣島鍾乳洞のライトアップは綺麗でした。川平湾ではオプションのグラスボートで海亀を見れたのがラッキーでした。玉取崎展望台の景色も最高でした。天気が良ければもっと素晴らしいと思う思うと、また訪れたいと思いました。昼食も沖縄の家庭料理で、優しい味でした。また、天気のいい時にもう一度、来たいと思います。

I received a text message one hour before our morning meeting, which made me feel relieved. It took about 70 minutes from Kanazawa to Shirakawa-go. Although it was said to be the most crowded ever, thanks to our driver, Mr. Higashi's quick thinking and arrangements, we were able to enter the village smoothly. After being guided, we walked for about 20 minutes towards the observation deck. I was surprised by the sheer number of foreign tourists, but we were able to secure a place to eat and enjoyed delicious soba and Hida beef bowl (we had to wait for an hour due to the crowd).

On our way to Gokayama, we stopped by the important cultural property "Iwase House," where we received unexpected and generous hospitality from the head of the household and his wife, who showcased the board-sawing instrument despite the cold. Although we went over our scheduled time, we were finally dropped off at Higashichaya District, and my family of four had a meaningful and enjoyable time. I am truly grateful to Mr. Higashi from Fuji Taxi. If I had rented a car myself, I would have been stuck in traffic and would have faced a nightmare. The experience was worth more than the price. I highly recommend it!

当日朝集合1時間前にショートメールが届いてやりとりでき安心しました。金沢から70分程度一路白川郷へ。史上最高の激混みとのことでしたが、運転手の東さんの機転と計らいでスムーズに入村、アテンドしていただき、徒歩で約20分、展望台を目指しました。あまりにも外国人観光客の多さに驚きましたが、食事の場所も確保していただき美味しいお蕎麦と飛騨牛丼（混雑で1時間待ちましたが）をいただきました。その後五箇山へ向かう途中に重要文化財「岩瀬家」に立ち寄り、寒い中、当主ご夫妻に板ささらの楽器をご披露いただくなど思いがけない手厚いおもてなしを受け感動しました。予定の時間をオーバーしてしまいましたが、最後は東茶屋町まで送っていただき、家族4人、有意義な楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。富士タクシーの東さんに心から感謝しています。もし自分でレンタカーしていたら渋滞に巻き込まれ地獄を見るところでした。お値段を上回る価値がありました。本当に超おすすめです！

The round trip to Yufuin Island was done by water buffalo cart, and it was truly a wonderful experience. The shamisen music and singing performed along the way were a lot of fun.

由布島への往復は水牛車で移動するのですが、それが本当に素晴らしい体験でした。道中に演奏してくれる三味線と歌が大変楽しかったです。

The guide, who is a global talent, was wonderful. They were knowledgeable and had a friendly demeanor, which left a great impression. The bus tour was enjoyable!

グローバルな人材であるガイドさんが
素晴らしいです。知識豊富でフレンドリーな感じで好印象でした。バスツアーは楽しかったです！

As a Japanese mother and child, we were looking for a tour and found that there weren't any Japanese-language tours that fit our needs, so we decided to join this tour with an English/Chinese-speaking guide. Our guide, Diffany, spoke Japanese, English, and Chinese. While the primary language in the vehicle was English, she kindly spoke to us in Japanese about various topics, and she was a friendly and wonderful person.

At each destination, she shared many interesting stories and helped us find inexpensive and delicious places to eat without any commercial intent. I was a bit concerned that the itinerary might be too busy and whether my always-hungry son would have time to eat, but the schedule was perfectly arranged.

I highly recommend this tour.

日本人の母子ですが、ツアーを探してたら富士山の日本語ツアーで希望にあったツアーがなかったので、こちらの英語/中国語ガイド同行のツアーに参加しました。
ガイドの Diffanyさんは、日本語/英語/中国語を話し、基本的には車内では英語ですが、私たち日本人親子には、日本語で色々話してくれて、フレンドリーな素敵な方でした。
各訪問地でも、いろんなお話や、商売気がなく、安くて美味しいお店なども教えてくれて助かりました。
ツアーの行程を見ると忙しすぎるかな？いつもお腹がすいてる食べ盛りの息子が食事する時間があるか？など気になってましたが、ばっちりの行程でした。
お勧めのツアーです。

It's amazing to see airplanes flying in the sky and to be able to observe people training hard right here! This is a tour that both aviation enthusiasts and those who aren't familiar with it should experience at least once.

空を飛ぶ飛行機、努力している人がこの地で実際に訓練しているところを見学できるだなんて！
航空ファンの方もそうでない方も1度は体験してほしい見学ツアーです。

It was a windy day, so we couldn't ride the glass boat at Kabira Bay, but I think it's a great way to efficiently tour the attractions of Ishigaki Island. If you want to buy black pearls, make sure to bring plenty of money!

風が強い日で川平湾のグラスボートは乗れませんでしたが、効率よく石垣島の観光スポットを周るにはとてもいいと思います。黒真珠を買いたい人は、お金いっぱいもっていこう！

This is an efficient course that allows you to visit Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island. I think it's great for first-time participants. Unfortunately, the weather was bad from the morning, and we couldn't explore Yufu Island due to the storm, which was disappointing. On Taketomi Island, we had a bus tour, and since it was raining on and off, it was nice to be able to move around without getting wet. However, the last free exploration time was only 15 minutes, which felt a bit rushed, so I would have appreciated a little more time.

西表島、由布島、竹富島を効率よく周れるコースです。初めて参加する人には良いと思います。朝から天気が悪く、由布島では暴風雨で島を散策できなかったのが残念でした。また竹富島はバス観光でしたが、雨が降ったり止んだりだったので、濡れずに移動ができてよかったです。最後の自由散策が15分しかなくて、忙しかったのでもう少し時間があると嬉しいかな。

Shopping at the outlet was the most exciting! I couldn't cover everything in 90 minutes, but I focused on specific areas and made some great purchases. Overall, it was a lot of fun.

アウトレットの買い物が一番テンション上がりました
90分では回れませんが、ピンポイントで回って、良い買い物ができました
全体的に楽しかったです

It was great that the guide, who played the sanshin and sang while riding the water buffalo for the first time, added a touch of charm. Riding the water buffalo through the streets of Taketomi Island made me feel like time was flowing leisurely. I was impressed by the mangroves. It was the best experience, fully enjoyed in just one day.

初めて水牛に乗り、三線を引いて歌を歌ってくれたガイドさんが風情を出してくれて良かったです。竹富島を水牛に乗って街並みを見てゆったりした時間を流れた気がします。マングローブは感激しました。1日で満喫出来て最高でした。

I was surprised to see that there is actually a facility where pilots train. Additionally, I was moved to see pilots, cabin crew, maintenance staff, and ground staff training on the day of my visit.

まさか、実際にパイロットたちが訓練する施設がみれるとは思ってなかったので、驚きました。また、当日パイロット、CA、整備士、グランドスタッフが実際に訓練していたので感激しました。

I was able to relax at the Churaumi Aquarium. If I had to wish for something, I would have liked to have a bit more time at American Village to see the illuminations, but overall, I was very satisfied. I participated alone, but I was able to talk with others who were also there alone, as well as families, making it a fun tour and a great memory.

美ら海水族館でゆっくりできました。欲を言えば、アメリカンビレッジに、もう少し滞在時間があってイルミネーションが見られたら良かったとは思いますが、十分満足できるものでした。私は、1人参加でしたが、同じく1人参加の方や、親子参加の方とお話しでき、楽しいツアーで、良い思い出になりました。

I arrived at Ishigaki Airport on the day and participated in a tour at 2:30 PM. The weather was drizzly and the waves were rough, but the rocking of the boat felt like an attraction, and both the kids and we enjoyed it. Taketomi Island is a small island, but it has a peaceful atmosphere, and even in the rain, I enjoyed feeling the unchanged scenery from the past.

当日の昼に石垣空港に到着し、14時半のツアーに参加しました。天気は小雨で波も荒れてましたが、舟の揺れがアトラクションみたいで子供も私たちも楽しんでいました。
竹富島は小さな島ですが、穏やかな時間が流れて、雨でも昔から変わらない風景を感じて楽しかったです。

At the Churaumi Aquarium, the parking lot was quite a distance away, but seeing my companion struggling to walk, I appreciated the consideration to allow us to drive to the entrance of the aquarium. Thank you very much.

美ら海水族館で駐車場からかなり距離がありましたが、歩きにくそうにしていた同行者を見て水族館の入口まで車で移動できるよう配慮していただきました。ありがとうございました。

We were picked up at our hotel for an early start at 7:10 AM to visit three islands. The tour was packed with activities, including a boat ride, water buffalo experience, and a mangrove cruise. It felt like we could see and do everything we wanted with this great tour. The lunch was delicious as well.

Even though it was a cold December, we were fortunate with the weather. In the morning, a short-sleeve shirt was a bit chilly, but by midday, it was hot enough that you needed short sleeves. Riding a bicycle around Taketomi Island made us sweat, but I think it's better to rent a bike if you're going to explore the beaches.

ホテルまで送迎いただき、3島めぐるので朝は7時10分と早めのお迎え。
船も水牛もマングローブクルージングも付いていて盛りだくさん。
行きたい所見たいもの全てこれで叶う感じの良いツアーでした。
ランチも美味しかったです。
12月の寒い時期ですが、お天気にも恵まれ、朝は半袖じゃ寒いですが、昼間は半袖じゃなきゃ暑いくらいでした。
竹富島の自転車巡りは汗だくでしたが、浜巡りするなら自転車借りた方がいいと思います。

The entrance is designed like an airport, and receiving a ticket with my name on it made me feel like I was going on an international trip. This time, I was guided by a pilot trainee who provided detailed explanations and assistance with photography. I found it very interesting to learn about the four main job types at the airport, including the background to each role, how to distinguish them, the qualifications required, and what items are needed. While I couldn't take photos during the training, there are spots where photography is allowed. Even adults can enjoy this experience. It was a valuable opportunity to learn about the industry and the company.

エントランスは空港のような作りで、名前入りのチケットをいただき、海外旅行に行くような気分になりました。
今回はパイロット訓練生の方にご案内いただき、細やかに説明や撮影対応などしていただきました。空港での主に4つの職種について、なるまでの経緯や見分け方、資格や持ち物など、とても興味深かったです。
訓練中の写真撮影はできかねましたが、撮影可能なスポットもあります。
大人でも充分楽しめます。業界や会社を知る社会勉強になりました。

The tour was very satisfying, with plenty of experiences including mangrove and water buffalo, as well as Taketomi Island. Each tour guide was very entertaining and their explanations were easy to understand.

マングローブに水牛体験、竹富島もたっぷりと満足できるツアーでした。各ツアーガイドさんもとても面白く、説明も分かりやすかったです。

I extracted the highlights of the three islands (Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island), and it was a very satisfying tour. The explanations from the guide at key points were clear and interesting.

三島（西表島、由布島、竹富島）の良い所を抽出してあり、大満足なツアーでした。
要所要所のガイドさんの説明もわかりやすく、面白かった。

Great tour guides showed us ANA training center, The Blue Base. The tour was well organized and guests will have ample of time to see various training aspects of the airline.
The gift shop was fantastic, make sure bring your credit card!

I participated alone.
If it's your first time in Okinawa, I think it's enough to cover the key spots, even if it's a bit rushed.
You can also buy meals and souvenirs.
One thing that bothered me a bit was that the foreign person in front of me reclined their seat quite a bit, which made it very cramped.
On the way back, perhaps due to traffic, the driving was quite rough, and I felt a bit nauseous. If you're going to hit the weekday rush hour, I think it would be better to depart a little earlier.
However, the staff on the bus were kind, polite, and worked hard, so overall, I’m glad I participated.

一人で参加しました。
沖縄初めてでしたら、駆け足ですが要所を回るには十分だと思います。
食事もお土産も買えます。
少し気になったのは、前の席の外国の方がシートをかなり下げてきたので、非常にキツくなった。
帰りは渋滞したためか、結構運転が荒く、若干酔いました。平日の帰宅ラッシュにぶつかるのであれば、少し早い時間に出発しても良いかと思いました。
なお、バス内の従業員の方は親切丁寧で、一生懸命でしたので、総合的には参加して良かったです。
