All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

It was my first time in Ishigaki and my first time visiting an outer island. I recommend it for those who want to explore efficiently. Since there is a lot of travel by vehicle, it’s enjoyable for both elderly people and those with small children. The explanations from the guides at each stop were fun. Since I have an elementary school student, I signed up for a free walk on Taketomi Island and rented a bicycle on-site. Biking around was very pleasant.

初めての石垣、初めての離島でした。効率よく回りたい方におすすめします。
乗り物での移動が多いので、高齢の方も小さいお子さん連れも楽しめる内容です。
その時々のガイドさんからの解説が楽しかったです。
小学生がいるので竹富島はフリーウォークで申し込み、現地で自転車を借りました。
自転車観光、とても気持ちよかったです。

I used it for the first time. The weather was nice, with blue skies and cherry blossoms above, making for a fun bus tour. There was traffic, so we could enjoy the sights slowly. The meeting place and drop-off location were difficult for newcomers, and I got lost.

初めて利用しました
お天気が良く、青空と桜が頭上にあり楽しいバスツアーでした
渋滞していてゆっくり鑑賞できました
集合場所と下車場所がお上りさんには難しく、迷いました

It was forecasted to rain, but we were able to walk without any rain. Our guide was very knowledgeable, and we had a great time exploring. We even got to see the Japanese macaques, and they were so cute! The driver was also very skilled, navigating the mountain roads smoothly. It was really great.

雨の予報でしたが、降らずに歩けました　　知識豊富なガイドさんで、楽しく回れました。
ヤクザルにも会えてとても可愛いかったです。運転手さんも、とても運転上手な方で　山道だけどスムーズ　とても良かったです。

This was my second tour of the three islands: Iriomote Island, Yubu Island, and Taketomi Island. Unfortunately, we weren't blessed with good weather again, and like last time, it was a cold tour... But to be honest, everyone should go on this tour!!

This time, the bus driver on Iriomote Island was a great storyteller, making the ride really enjoyable. We were laughing a lot. On the other hand, the boatman for the water buffalo cart on Yubu Island, who was very entertaining last time, seemed to be doing a half-hearted job this time, possibly because it was raining, which was disappointing.

I also think there’s room for improvement regarding the lunch we had on Yubu Island. However, the convenience of having hotel pick-up and drop-off, along with the fact that the boat didn’t rock, made it a great experience overall. Above all, I believe this tour is so engaging that you won’t have a moment to feel bored.

2度目の西表島、由布島、竹富島の3島めぐりツアーでした。
今回もお天気には恵まれず、前回同様寒いツアーにはなりましたが・・・
はっきり言ってこれはみなさん行くべきです！！
今回は西表島のバス移動の運転手さんがお話上手でとっても楽しかった。ウケまくりでした。
逆に由布島の水牛車の船頭さん(？)は、前回はとてもお話上手の方の楽しい方だったのですが、今回は雨も降っていたこともあってやっつけ仕事っぽく残念でした。
あとは由布島でいただく昼食も改善の余地があると思います。
ですがホテルへの送迎付きで便利だし船も揺れないし、なにより退屈する暇は無いほど充実しているツアーだと思います。

The morning ferry rocked like a roller coaster, making my heart race with excitement! I was healed by the water buffaloes on Iriomote Island and Yufu Island, enjoyed a fun guide on Taketomi Island while searching for star sand. It was a healing journey!

朝のフェリーは、ジェットコースターなみ揺れて、ハラハラドキドキ！
西表島、由布島の水牛に癒されて、竹富島でガイドさんの楽しいガイドで、星砂探して、
癒される旅でしたー！

For us who are over 70 years old, it was wonderful to enjoy the surroundings of the Imperial Palace without the hassle of walking around! We took the 10:00 bus course and got off in Asakusa. We enjoyed walking along the Sumida River and through the lively streets of Asakusa, as well as a delicious lunch. The cherry blossoms were not yet in full bloom, but we were able to fully enjoy the feeling of hanami (flower viewing).

７０歳を過ぎた私達には
歩いては回るのは大変な皇居の回り等々を
楽して楽しむことが出来最高‼︎
10：00のコースのバスに乗車し浅草で下車。
隅田川沿いや賑やかな浅草の街歩き、
美味しいランチも楽しみました。
桜は満開まではもう少しでしたが、十分お花見気分を味わうことができました。

I came to Kyoto alone and had no plans at all, so I signed up at the last minute. It had been over 30 years since I last visited Kyoto, and I had no sense of direction, so it was great to be able to efficiently visit the famous spots in just one day. My main goal in Kyoto was to collect goshuin (temple stamps), so I chose this course that includes a visit to Fushimi Inari Taisha. There were some places where I had to wait in line to receive the goshuin, which made it a bit rushed, but I was able to visit all the places I wanted to go.

1人京都へ来たものので全くノープランだったので急遽申し込みました。京都はもう30年以上ぶりで土地勘が全くないので1日で名所を効率的に巡ることができるので良かったです。私の京都第一目的は御朱印巡りだったのって伏見稲荷大社を巡ることができるこのコースを選びました．御朱印を貰うのに並ぶため、時間に余裕が無い所もありましたが行きたい所はすべて行けました。

I thought it was good to efficiently explore without driving ourselves, but I believe it would be better to focus only on the aquarium, Kouri Island, and Manzamo, allowing for a bit more time to enjoy the aquarium. Also, since Manzamo is backlit in the afternoon, it might be better to visit in the morning.

自分らで車を運転することなく、効率的に回るのに良いと思いましたが、水族館、古利島、万座毛だけにして、水族館の時間をもう少しゆっくり確保出来る方が良いとは思いました。
あと万座毛の午後は逆光だっとので、午前が良いのかもしれません。

The weather was cloudy and cold, and the cherry blossoms were either in full bloom or had already started to leaf out. Because it was cloudy, I couldn't take my time to enjoy the sakura. I just passed by in the car, and I only saw the famous spots from a distance, so it felt more like a sightseeing tour of Tokyo rather than a cherry blossom viewing experience.

天気も曇りで寒く、桜も満開か葉桜でした。
曇っているのもあるが、
さくらをゆっくり見ることができなかった。車で通り過ぎるだけ、名所も遠くから見るだけだったので、お花見ツアーと言うか、東京観光って感じでした

I participated on April 1st, but the cherry blossoms were already past their peak. I enjoyed the tour as the guide shared various insights about Tokyo, but I think it would be better to join at the end of March next time.

4月１日に参加しましたが、桜は、もうすでに葉桜。
ガイドさんのお話で、東京を色々案内していただいたので、たのしめましたが、次回は、３月の末に参加が良いと思いました。

I was taken to places that are not easy to visit by bus.

Amanoyasugawara
Iwatokami Shrine

I really wanted to see them!

Thank you very much to the bus guide for a wonderful trip.

なかなか行けないところへ、バスで連れて行っていただきました。

天の安河原
岩戸神社

みてみたかった〜。

バスガイドさん楽しい旅どうもありがとうございました。

Must visit if you love this airline or interested in airline companies. You will also have some understand about how the airline train their staff, and also some of their history.
There are many souvenirs for you to buy at the end. Overall the experience is quite good.

Since I hadn't been exercising much lately, my legs started to shake towards the end. Honestly, going down without trekking poles was tough, and I now wish I had rented some. I was so focused on keeping up that I didn't have much time to enjoy the scenery, so I realized that preparation is essential. Still, reaching Jomon Sugi was an amazing experience.

日頃あまり運動もしていなかったので、最後の方は足がガクガクになりました。ストック無しでの下山は正直キツかったので、やはりレンタルすれば良かったと今になって思います。
ついていくのに必死で、あまり景色を楽しむ余裕がありませんでしたので、やはり準備は必要だなと思いました。それでも、縄文杉まで行けた事は最高の体験でした。

We were blessed with good weather and had a great time enjoying the ox cart and the guide's folk songs, surrounded by blooming bougainvillea and deigo flowers. The timing was perfect.

お天気にも恵まれ、牛車もガイドさんの民謡も楽しみながら、ブーゲンビリア、デイゴの花も盛りの中、良い時間を過ごせました。時期的に良かったです。

I only had one day, but there were many places I wanted to visit, so I joined this tour. I thoroughly enjoyed Lake Toya, the Silo Observation Deck, and Otaru, among others. The guide's explanations were easy to understand, and I was able to experience a variety of things in a short amount of time. If I have the opportunity again, I would definitely like to do this again.

１日しかなかったが、行きたいところが沢山あり、このツアーに参加しました。
洞爺湖、サイロ展望台、小樽なと、満喫しました。ガイドの説明がわかりやすく、短時間で色々体験ができました。また機会があれば是非お願いしたいです。

Even though it's late March, is it scorching hot in Taketomi Island?! For Tokyoites who are still not used to the heat, riding in a covered water buffalo cart while listening to the guide's stories and the sound of the sanshin was the best experience for a leisurely island tour.

This tour, which includes transportation between Ishigaki Port and Taketomi Port, as well as a shuttle bus and water buffalo cart sightseeing, is a great deal. We took the ferry departing from Ishigaki at 2:30 PM and returning from Taketomi at 5:00 PM, which was just the right timing.

3月下旬とはいえ、竹富島は猛暑？！　まだ暑さに慣れていない東京人にとっては、屋根付きの水牛車に乗って、案内人の話や三線の音色を聞きながらゆっくり島巡りができて最高の経験でした。
石垣港⇔竹富港⇔送迎バス+水牛車観光のこのツアーはおトクです。私達は午後14:30石垣発＆竹富発17:00のフェリーで、時間的にちょうどよかったです。

The guide was kind and attentive, and despite my foot pain, I was able to keep up. It was a place I wanted to visit at least once in my lifetime, so I am very satisfied.

ガイドさんも優しく丁寧で、足の痛みを抱える私も何とか付いていくことができました。一生に一度は行きたい場所でしたので、非常に満足しています。

The scenery was of course amazing, but the tour guide was the best. They had a wealth of topics to discuss and shared them in such an interesting way that I forgot my fatigue and was able to enjoy the trekking.

絶景はもちろん最高でしたが、ツアーガイドさんが最高でした。
話題豊富でしかも面白く話してくれて、疲れを忘れてトレッキングできました。

We participated by splitting into a bus team and a free (bicycle) group. The forecast was cloudy with rain, and there was occasional light rain on Taketomi Island. I brought a raincoat but didn't need to wear it. The sea at Nishi Sanchu Bridge seemed beautiful. To visit all the highlights, you need plenty of time, and the last ferry was at 5 PM.

バスチームとフリー（自転車）に分かれての参加。曇雨予報で竹富島は時々小雨。カッパ持ってったけど着なくて大丈夫でした。西桟橋の海が綺麗だったようです。見どころを全部行くには時間がたっぷり必要で、フェリーは最後の17時でした。

On a day with cloudy and rainy forecasts, the strong winds made the ferry ride to our destination quite bumpy, causing even adults to feel seasick and scared. However, we calmed down during the mangrove tour, enjoyed a ride on an ox cart, and the kids were thrilled to see the large Papilio butterfly and the golden chrysalis at the Yufu Island Butterfly Garden. The bus tour was well-paced with informative explanations, allowing us to efficiently explore the area. It rained while we were on the boat, but elsewhere it was just cloudy, so we managed to have a fun time. It would have been perfect if it had been sunny.

曇雨予報の日、風が強く行きのフェリーが揺れまくり大人も船酔いand怖さで大変でした。その後のマングローブ遊覧で落ち着き、牛車も楽しめ、由布島蝶々園の大きなオオゴマダラと金色のサナギに子供大喜びでした。バスツアーはテンポよく説明もあり効率よく周れました。船中に雨が降りましたが、他はなんとか曇だったので楽しく周れました。晴れなら最高でした。

Guide Mitsuhashi provided an accurate and insightful tour. He made every effort to avoid crowded times, and at Jomon Sugi and the Wilson stump, it felt almost like we had the place to ourselves. It was truly moving!

ガイドの三橋さんが的確なガイドをしてくださいました。混み合いそうなタイミングを極力避けてくださり、縄文杉やウィルソン株ではほぼ貸切なんじゃないかというくらいの空き具合、感動でした！

The tour was mainly for Chinese participants, but the tour guide was kind and spoke Japanese very well, which was great. It would have been nice to travel to Kamakura individually, but I wanted to ride the Enoden, and it was appreciated that they picked us up by bus. We were the only two Japanese people, so I think it was a bit of a hassle for the guide to provide instructions about the time and meeting place in both Chinese and Japanese. Thank you for your consideration, such as seating us at the very front of the bus!

中国の方メインのツアーでしたが、添乗員さんが親切で日本語もお上手で良かったです。個人で鎌倉旅行でも良かったのですが、江ノ電にも乗りたかったし、バスで迎えに来てくれるのはありがたかったです。日本人は私たち2人だけで、時間や集合場所の案内が、中国語と日本語で面倒だったと思います。バスも1番前にしてくださるなど、ご配慮いただき、ありがとうございました！

I was concerned about the cherry blossom blooming status and the weather, but both were perfect on the day of the event. It was great to see the cherry blossoms from a high vantage point on the bus without having to walk through the crowds of spectators in the city center. The guide's explanations were detailed and informative! Passing under the elevated tracks was thrilling and fun. We got off the bus in Asakusa and visited Senso-ji Temple without going through the crowded Nakamise street, and then we enjoyed the view of the Tokyo Skytree and cherry blossoms leisurely at Sumida Park.

桜の開花状況と天気が気になりましたが当日は両方に恵まれて最高でした。
都心の桜を見物客の混雑の中を歩かずにバスの上の高い目線から見られて良かったです。
ガイドさんの説明も詳しくて良かった！
高架下をくぐるのもスリリングで面白い。
浅草でバスを降りて浅草寺を横から仲見世の混雑を通らずにお参りして、隅田川公園でスカイツリーと桜をゆっくり楽しみました。

I had accumulated quite a few points on Veltra, so I participated in this tour that I had been interested in for a while. It was fun to see Mount Fuji from various locations.

ベルトラのポイントが結構貯まっていたので、前から興味があったこちらのツアーに参加しました。色んな場所から富士山を拝見できて楽しかったです。

There were some hits and misses with the guide, and honestly, my guide wasn't very good.

Disappointments:
While the guide would stop at key points to explain things, they would immediately start walking again after finishing the explanation, leaving no time for taking photos. We arrived at the entrance before 5 PM, so we had plenty of time, and I wished there had been more time for photography.

There was no announcement about how many minutes the break would be, and the guide prioritized their own schedule, waiting until they finished their meal. While walking, the guide completely ignored the participants behind them, not noticing if anyone was lagging or even falling. They walked ahead without considering the participants' conditions, making it difficult to take water breaks.

Additionally, when using trekking poles on the stairs, it was hard to walk behind the guide because they would stick the poles out behind them.

However, there were certainly parts where having a guide was helpful, especially for pacing and knowing where the rest points were. For those who are not used to hiking, it's safer to have a guide.

ガイドによる当たり外れがあり自分のガイドは正直あまりよくはなかったです。
不満点
要所で止まって説明してくれるものの説明終わったらすぐ歩き出す為に写真撮影する時間がなかった。帰り入り口には5時前に着いており十分時間に余裕があったのでもう少し撮影する時間を取って欲しかった。
休憩時間が何分というアナウンスがなく、ガイドの食事終了までなどガイド都合優先だった。
歩いている際に後ろを全く気にしてない為に参加者が遅れていても転んでいても全く気がつかない。参加者の様子を考慮しないで歩いていくので給水しにくかった。
階段でトレッキングポールを後ろに突き出すのでガイドの真後ろだと歩きにくい。

ただしガイドがいないとペース配分や休憩ポイント等わからない部分もあるので助かった部分も当然あります。登山慣れしてない方はガイドを付けた方が無難です。

I was looking forward to American Village, but my stay was short, and I only got to experience the atmosphere.

The most concerning point was that the tour guide (who was Korean) rushed off to the destination as soon as we got off the bus, making it difficult to ask any questions. I could barely keep up with them, which was quite frustrating.

Since I had participated in a tour with another bus company the day before, I could really feel the difference in service. There was a lack of hospitality.

The travel time on the bus was long, so I would have appreciated a bit more sightseeing information.

アメリカンビレッジを楽しみにしていたので、滞在時間が短くて雰囲気だけ味わった。
一番気になる点は、添乗員の方（韓国人）がバスから降りたら一目散に目的地に早足で向かい（質問など出来ない状態）付いていくのがやっとで、とても困った。
前日ほかのバス会社のツアーに参加したので、サービスの差を感じた。
おもてなしの心がなかった。
移動バス時間も長かったので、少し観光案内が欲しかった。

The bus traveled a distance of 300 kilometers, as the bus guide mentioned. The bus was not full, and since I was traveling alone, the seat next to me was empty, making it comfortable. The Yanbaru hiking took about an hour, as we walked the entire course, taking photos at each numbered point. I also visited the Stone Museum at the meeting place and bought some souvenirs. The sashimi for lunch had various types and was delicious.

バス走行距離300キロの行程とバスガイドさんが仰っていました。
バスは満席でなく、１人参加で隣席は空席で快適でした。
やんばるハイキングは、全コースを、番号ごとに写真を撮って歩いて、1時間くらいでした。集合場所の石の博物館を見たりお土産を買いました。
ランチのお刺身は色々と種類があり、美味しかったです。

Since it was my second time in Shirakawa-go, I felt like I was reconfirming it as a tourist spot, but Gokayama was quiet and still had some snow, allowing me to enjoy a more enriching experience.

白川郷は2回目だったので、観光地として再確認した感でしたが五箇山は静かで雪も残っていましたのでより味わい深い時間を過ごせました。

We participated in Hina's tour as a family. There were small children with us, but we were taught very carefully. Everyone in the family was very satisfied. We would like to participate again.

ひなさんのツアーに家族で参加しました。
小さい子どももいましたが、とても丁寧に教えてもらいました。家族全員大満足でした。また参加したいです。

It was our family's first trip to Hokkaido, staying in Sapporo. The day before, I searched the internet and suddenly decided to go to Asahiyama Zoo. While taking the train would have been fine, I happened to discover this tour and opted for the convenient bus tour instead.

I was torn between a course that included Biei, but since I wanted to take my time observing the animals and the Blue Pond was lit up, I chose this course because I'm not a fan of light displays. It turned out to be a great decision for us.

Based on other people's reviews, we brought our own bento boxes for meals, but it seemed that the restaurant wasn't crowded. However, since we visited on a weekday in late March, I think it was relatively empty.

The bus guide's stories were fascinating, and we had a very enjoyable time.

初めての北海道、札幌宿泊の家族旅行でした。
前日にインターネットを検索して、急遽旭山動物園に行こうと思いたちました。列車で行くのでも良かったのですが、たまたまこちらのツアーを発見し、楽できるバスツアーに決めました。
美瑛付きのコースと迷ったのですが、動物をゆっくり見たいのと、青い池はライトアップとありましたので、ライトアップは好みではないので、こちらのコースにしました。
私達にとっては大正解でした。
食事も他の方の口コミをみて、駅弁を持参しましたが、レストランも混んでいなかったようです。ただ訪れたのが3月下旬の平日なので、比較的空いていたのだと思います。
バスガイドさんの話も興味深く、とても楽しい時間が過ごせました。
