All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

I took an underwater observation boat at Lake Shikotsu, but unfortunately, the weather was bad and the visibility was poor, so I enjoyed the scenery from the deck. However, just before the boat arrived at the pier, I was miraculously able to see the stunning Shikotsu Blue and many Ezo chub, which was moving. At Lake Toya, I enjoyed a leisurely stroll. I rode an engine-powered swan boat and was able to spend time on the lake while feeling the breeze. The mushroom soup I had in the Mushroom Kingdom was the best, and I was able to buy a lot of mushroom souvenirs. I went up to the summit via the Usuzan Ropeway and was able to admire the magnificent nature.

The scenery was wonderful, but equally impressive was the thoughtful care of our guide. The guide and driver from Chuo Bus worked seamlessly together, providing accurate guidance and advice at key points. I especially felt that the guide was a true professional in hospitality. Thanks to these two, this bus tour became my most unforgettable memory of Hokkaido.

If I visit Hokkaido again, I would like to use Chuo Bus's bus tour again.

　支笏湖では水中展望船に乗りましたが、あいにくの天気で透明度が悪く、デッキでの風景を楽しみました。でも、船が桟橋に着く直前には、奇跡的にも支笏湖ブルーと多くのエゾウグイを見ることができ感動しました。洞爺湖では、自由散策を楽しみました。エンジン付きのスワンボートに乗り、湖上の風を感じながら、湖で過ごすことができました。キノコ王国で食べたキノコ汁は最高で、キノコのお土産もたくさん購入できました。有珠山ロープウェイで山頂まであがり、雄大な自然を眺めることができました。
　景色も素晴らしかったですが、それに劣らず素晴らしかったのはガイドさんの細やかな心遣いです。中央バスのガイドさんと運転手さんは息もぴったりで、要所要所で的確な案内とアドバイスをしてくださいました。特にガイドさんは、ホスピタリティーのプロだと実感しました。この二人のおかげで、このバスツアーが忘れられない北海道の一番の思い出となりました。
　もしまた北海道を訪れることがあれば、また中央バスのバスツアーを使いたいと思います。

Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya are beautiful, although the wind was a bit strong and the sightseeing boat was canceled, which was a little disappointing. Fortunately, the ropeway was operating safely.

支笏湖と洞爺湖は綺麗で、風はちょっと強くて、遊覧船は欠航で、ちょっと残念でした。幸いロープウェイは無事運行中。

Honestly, I was a bit anxious about the long trek, but I was truly impressed by it. They also taught us how to cool down, and I was guided by a very good guide, which made me very satisfied.

正直長時間のトレッキングに不安もありましたが、とても良いもので感動しました。クールダウンの方法も教えてくださり、とても良いガイドさんに案内していただき大変満足しております。

On Kouri Island, you'll have time to explore the beach, so bringing beach sandals and a towel will enhance your experience. Since you'll be outside for a long time and the sun is strong, I recommend being well-prepared for sun protection in September. The bus is cool and comfortable, and the attention to infection control measures like social distancing makes it a安心 experience.

古宇利島ではビーチ散策の時間があるため、ビーチサンダルやタオルを持参すれば、より楽しめます。外にいる時間が長く、日差しが強かったので、９月は日焼け対策を万全にすることをおすすめします。
バスの中は涼しく快適で、ソーシャルディスタンス等の感染症対策への気遣いもあり安心して過ごせます。

I understand that there are time constraints, but it was quite a fast pace. It's a shame I didn't have the opportunity to enjoy nature, but I did feel a sense of accomplishment.

時間の制限があるので仕方ないことだとは思うのですが、なかなかのハイペース。
自然を楽しむ余裕がなかったのが残念ですが達成感はありました。

It was unfortunately rainy, but the members were great, and we had a lot of fun climbing! However, since it was my first trekking experience, I'm still dealing with quite a bit of muscle soreness... haha.

あいにくの雨でしたが、メンバーもよく、楽しく登れました！
ただ、初めてのトレッキングだったので、だいぶ筋肉痛が抜けません…笑

The active flight attendants provided explanations and answered questions with a sense of reassurance, warmth, and bright energy! In the area where the flight attendants were conducting emergency training, they shared specific responses to real-life situations involving medical emergencies on board, which added a sense of realism.

I felt that our flight was being kept safe and secure by everyone who trained here.

I also think the sense of the original merchandise is quite good, so I recommend checking it out.

現役CAのナビゲーターさんが、あんしん、あったか、あかるく元気! に、説明や質問への回答をしてくださいました。
CAさん達が救命救急の訓練をやっていたエリアでは、実際に機内で急病人が発生したときの具体的な対応をお話くださいましてリアリティーがありました。

私たちのフライトは、ここで研修された皆様によって安全・安心を保たれていることが実感できます。

オリジナルグッズのセンスもなかなかだと思うので、お手に取ってご覧になることをお勧めします。

I was really glad that I could be taken to the places I wanted to go on the tour since I’m not confident in driving. The Okashi Goten is also located on Kokusai Street, so I thought it would be nice to visit other shops as well. It rained a little, but we were able to see beautiful scenery when it cleared up. I think the time allocation was just right. They also had thorough infection control measures in place, so I felt safe and enjoyed myself. There were no traffic jams, and everyone kept to the meeting times, so we were able to stick to the schedule. I would like to use this service again.

運転に自信がないので、ツアーで行きたい所に連れて行ってもらえて、とても良かったです。
御菓子御殿は、国際通りなどにもあるので、他のお店だと良いと思いました。
少し雨も降りましたが、晴れて綺麗な景色が見れました。
時間配分もちょうど良いと思います。
感染対策もしっかりされていたので、安心して楽しめました。
渋滞などもせず、皆さん集合時間も守っていて、時間通りに回れました。
また利用したいです。

During the hike, the guide shared a lot about the history of Yakushima and knowledge about Yakusugi, which was very educational. It had been a while since I last hiked, and it was quite tough, but the sense of accomplishment was incredible!

登山中ガイドさんが屋久島の歴史や屋久杉の知識などをお話くださりとても勉強になりました。
久しぶりの登山で結構しんどかったですが、達成感は半端ないです！

I signed up because there was a shuttle service. I was satisfied with the tour itself, but I was very disappointed when I was left behind at the Ishigaki Port Ferry Terminal during the return shuttle due to a bathroom stop.

On the day of the tour, I was picked up at my hotel and checked in at the counter at Ishigaki Port Ferry Terminal, where I received multiple tickets. After that, we moved to the boat and traveled to Iriomote Island. Once we arrived at Iriomote Island, we took a bus to the mangrove cruise boat, and then again took a bus to the water buffalo cart boarding area. We traveled to Yubu Island by water buffalo cart and had free time (lunch was provided, so we moved to the restaurant within the allotted time to eat) to explore the island. After that, we returned to the water buffalo cart, switched from the bus to the boat, and moved to Taketomi Island. On Taketomi Island, we drove around the island in a water buffalo cart and then had free time. Since we basically moved around on our own, I was able to quickly buy souvenirs at various places, so I was satisfied with the tour content.

What was disappointing was that when I returned from Taketomi Island to Ishigaki Port Ferry Terminal, I had to stop by the bathroom due to feeling unwell, and when I returned to the tour counter, I was told that the shuttle had already finished. I had to pay for a taxi back to the hotel. When I was picked up at the hotel, I received a call, and at the departure counter, I was told they would wait until we returned to the counter after the tour, so I really wished they had at least confirmed by phone. I was satisfied with the tour itself, but I was very disappointed at the end.

送迎ありだったので申し込みました。
ツアー自体は満足でしたが、帰りの送迎でトイレ立ち寄りの間に出発され石垣港離島ターミナルに置き去りにされたためそこだけ非常に残念でした。
当日はホテルまで迎えに来ていただき、石垣港離島ターミナルのカウンターで受付し複数枚チケットを受け取りました。その後各々で船に移動し、西表島まで船で移動しました。西表島についてからは各々でバスに乗りマングローブ遊覧船に移動し、その後再びバスで水牛車乗り場に移動。水牛車で由布島に移動し自由時間（昼食は用意されているので各々で時間内にレストランに移動して食べる）で島を散策、その後再び水牛車に戻り、バスから船に乗り換え竹富島に移動しました。竹富島では水牛車で島をドライブして、その後自由時間でした。移動は基本的に自分たちで移動するため、各所でささっとお土産を買って移動できたので、ツアー内容は満足でした。
残念だったのは竹富島から石垣港離島ターミナルに戻った際、体調を崩したためトイレに立ち寄ってからツアーカウンターに戻ったところ、すでに送迎は終わったと言われ、自腹でタクシーでホテルまで戻りました。ホテルに迎えにきていただいた際は電話があったのと、出発時のカウンターではツアー後カウンターに戻ってくるまで待っていますと言われたこともあり、せめて電話確認していただきたかったです。
ツアー自体は満足でしたが最後でとてもがっかりしました。

At places like Okurayama Jump Stadium and the Hitsujigaoka Observation Hill, even tourists without a car can efficiently visit the attractions. The audio guide consists of recorded content, so if you don't want to listen, it's fine to remove your earphones. It was great that you can cover the key points in a short amount of time.

大倉山ジャンプ場や羊ヶ丘展望台のように、車がない観光客でも効率的に観光地を回ることができます。
音声ガイドは録音している内容ですので、聞きたくない場合はイヤホンを外していてもOKです。
短時間でポイントとなる部分を回れるのでかなり良かったです。

The rental items were smelly, worn out, and old. The rental items from other participants were not this old. On top of that, the rain gear smelled as soon as I opened it. I really wish it was better. Honestly, it deserves ★1, but the elderly guide was wonderful, so I’m giving it ★5 as a special exception. You should rent items separately.

レンタル品は臭いしボロいし古い。
他の参加者のレンタル品はここまで古くなかった。おまけにレインウェアは開けた瞬間臭い。勘弁してほしい。本当は★1だが高齢のガイドさんが素晴らしかったので特別に★5です。レンタル品は別で借りるべき。

The tour lasted a little over six hours, but both the tour guide and the driver were very pleasant. I was able to hear various recommended spots and little tips during the bus ride, which kept me entertained throughout. Thank you very much.

ツアー時間６時間ちょっとでしたが、添乗員さんも運転手さんもとても感じのいい方で、バスの中では色々なおすすめスポットやプチ情報が聞けて、終始楽しませてくれました。ありがとうございました。

Thank you very much for your help. Since the driver was a woman, it was really meaningful that she understood where I wanted to go without me having to explain. The weather was too nice and hot, and I would love to repeat this in the fall.

大変お世話になりました。女性のドライバーさんだったので、行きたい所などお話ししなくてもわかっていただいて本当に有意義でした。
お天気が良すぎて暑く、秋にでもまたリピートしたいです。

I visit worthwhile places. Really, I want to give a big thanks to Veltra.

I visit worth places. Really I want to give a big thanks to Veltra,

The bus guide's stories were interesting. I learned a lot about the history of the area, and it was very engaging. Thank you!

バスガイドさんのお話が面白かった。その土地の成り立ちとか、初めて知ったことが多く興味深かった。ありがとうございました

Mr. Kuroda's stories about the area were very interesting, and I had a great time during the bus ride! I will participate next time in winter!

黒田さんのその地にまつわるお話がとても興味深く、バス移動中も楽しい時間を過ごさせていただきました！次回は冬に参加します！

Due to the high cost of rental cars during the pandemic and the fatigue of driving long distances, I decided to book this tour. It was great to efficiently visit various attractions in just one day. Thanks to our experienced guide, we were able to see many sights along the way, which was wonderful.

コロナでレンタカーが高かったし、遠いところを運転するには疲れるのでこのツアーを申し込みました。一日で効率よくいろんな名所を回ることができ、本当によかったです。経験豊富なガイドさんのおかげで、道中もいろんな名所を見学できてよかったです。

I was very tired, but I was really glad to see the World Heritage Site, Jomon Sugi! I felt a great sense of accomplishment after completing the 10-hour hike, and I was fulfilled by doing something that can only be done now! It's a treasure in my life. Thank you very much.

とても疲れましたが、世界遺産の縄文杉を見れてとてもよかったです！
10時間の登山をやり遂げた達成感と今しかできないことをやれた充実感でとても満たされました！
人生の財産です。
ありがとうございました。

If you can drive around the tourist spots in Okinawa, that might be great, but since I can't drive and public transportation can be time-consuming... I came across this tour while searching. Signing up was the right choice!

On the way there, the guide shared stories about the different areas we passed through, so I didn't get bored during the ride. The highlight for me was the Churaumi Aquarium, which we spent about two hours at, and I was able to see the whale sharks up close, which was satisfying! I would have loved an extra hour, but since we wanted to visit many other attractions, this amount of time was just right. We had a packed schedule with stops at Manzamo, Kouri Island, the Okashi Goten, and American Village. It was busy, but I felt fulfilled with all the places we visited, making for a very satisfying day.

沖縄の観光地をレンタカーで回れる人はいいのかもしれませんが、運転も出来ないし公共交通機関では時間のロスもあるので…と探しているとこのツアーにたどり着きました。申し込んで正解！
行きし、ガイドさんが市をまたいで行くたびにその土地のお話など色々してくれるので乗車時間も退屈しないで過ごせました。一番行きたかった美ら海水族館は2時間くらいでしたがジンベイザメもしっかり見ることができて満足です！もう1時間あると嬉しいけど、他の観光地にも沢山立ち寄りたいのでこのくらいがちょうどなんですね。万座毛と古宇利島、お菓子御殿、アメリカンビィレッジと盛りだくさんで忙しかったです。でも、色々行けて、忙しいより満足感いっぱいの一日でした。

I was able to efficiently visit must-see tourist spots in Okinawa in one day, such as Churaumi Aquarium, Kouri Island, Manzamo, and American Village. If you don't have a driver's license, you might face issues with transportation, as there may not be bus stops or stations nearby, and you would have to adjust your schedule according to the timetable, which could prevent you from visiting all the places you want. I think it's great to be able to go around with a bus tour while receiving explanations from a guide!

For those considering where to go in Okinawa, I recommend taking a bus tour around the second day and heading to the beaches you liked on the third day for some swimming!

美ら海水族館、古宇利島、万座毛、アメリカンビレッジなど沖縄で欠かせない観光スポットを一日で効率よくまわることが出来ました。免許を所持していない場合、交通費や近くにバス停や駅がなかったり、時刻表に合わせたスケジュールになり、思い通りに回りきれなかったりすると思うので、バスツアーでガイドさんの説明を受けながら回れるのはいいと思います！
沖縄でどこに行けばいいか考えている方は2日目頃にバスツアーで沖縄をまわり、3日目によかったビーチ等に向かって海水浴をするのがおすすめです！

The explanation from the active flight attendant was easy to understand. The facilities were also clean and nice. The use of exhibits and videos for the explanation was clear. Next time, I would like to see the training in action.

現役CAさんの説明が聞き取り易かったです。施設も綺麗で良かったです。展示やビデオを使用しての説明は分かり易かったです。次回は訓練している様子を見てみたいと思いました。

I thoroughly enjoyed the natural experiences in Yakushima. During the equipment rental, I received detailed explanations on how to tie shoelaces to avoid blisters, the differences between cedar, Japanese cedar, and Yakusugi, various types of moss, and the characteristics of other tree species besides cedar. I was impressed by the grandeur of Jomon Sugi and other Yakusugi trees. I also learned tips on how to ascend and descend, as well as how to navigate stairs, making it a very meaningful experience.

屋久島の自然体験を満喫しました、道具のレンタル時は靴ずれをしない靴紐の結び方、トレッキングの時は杉•小杉•屋久杉の違いや、苔のさまざまな種類、杉以外の木の種類と特徴等の詳しい説明をしていただきました、縄文杉や他の屋久杉の雄大さに感銘しました、登り方や下り方、階段の上り下りコツも教えて頂き大変有意義な体験になりました。

I was impressed by the current flight attendant who provided direct explanations and accurate answers to my questions. I gained a better understanding of ANA's ongoing efforts towards safety and security. I have come to like ANA even more.

現職のCAさんが直接説明し質問に対して的確な回答をされ感激しました。
ANAさんが、安全安心への普段からの取組みが理解できました。
また一層ANAが好きになりました。

Furano was absolutely amazing! The lavender was finished, but other flowers were blooming and they were very beautiful! The bus guide's explanations were easy to understand, and I enjoyed the journey as well. I want to go again.

富良野とても最高でした！ラベンダーは終わってましたが、他の花が咲いていてとても綺麗でした！バスガイドさんの説明がわかりやすく、移動中も楽しめました。また、行きたいです。

Due to having only 6 or 7 participants, we were split into two vehicles: a 10-passenger jumbo taxi and an 8-passenger van for the tour. I had expected a large bus, so I had a bad feeling about it. As I feared, the ride was very bumpy and tiring.

I was given a receiver to listen to the tour guide, but since the guide alternated between the two vehicles, there were times when the guide wasn't on board, and the signal wouldn't come through. At those moments, I couldn't hear the audio from the receiver at all, which was very stressful and diminished the quality of the tour.

The content of the course wasn't bad, but the fact that it wasn't a tour bus made it a disappointing experience. I believe the website should clearly state that a tour bus is not being used. There was a brief explanation about the measures taken for infection control, but since other bus tours are being conducted, I couldn't fully accept that reasoning.

参加者6,7人だったためか、10人乗りのジャンボタクシーと、8人乗りバンの2台に分乗しての観光。大型バスだと思っていたので、嫌な予感。
案の定、道中の車の揺れが激しく、とても疲れた。
観光ガイドを聞くレシーバーを渡されたが、添乗員は、2台に交互に乗るため、添乗員が同乗してないときは、電波が飛ばない。この時、レシーバーの音声が、全く聞き取れず、とてもストレスを感じて、観光の質が低くなった。
コースの内容は悪くないが、観光バスではなかったことから、とても残念なツアーだった。
ホームページに観光バスを利用していないことをきちんと明示すべきだと思う。
感染対策のために、このような対策をしている旨の、さらっとした説明があったが、観光バスのツアーは、他に実施されているので、あまり納得できなかった。

It was a wonderful bus trip. I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind thanks to the care of the bus driver and the guide. The view from Cape Shakotan is breathtaking, making you think, "I didn't know there was a place like this in Japan!" I recommend it to first-time visitors to Hokkaido and those who have been before!

とても素敵なバス旅になりました。
安心して楽しめたのはバスの運転手さん、ガイドさんのお気遣いがあってこそでした。
積丹岬からの景色は日本にこんなところがあったんだ！と思うような絶景が広がっています。
初めての北海道、そうではない方にもおすすめします！

During the visit, there was a training session happening, and I really understood how the diligent efforts and training behind the scenes ensure the safe operation of airplanes. I think it's something everyone should see at least once.

見学の際にちょうど訓練をされており、裏側の地道な努力や訓練で飛行機が安全に飛んでいることがよく分かりました。一度は見ておいた方がいいと思います。

While laughing at the bus guide's lively talk, we visited the sightseeing spots! The time was just right, not too short or too long! I was healed at the alpaca farm in Shikisai no Oka.

It was more fun than I imagined, so I was truly moved!

バスガイドさんのテンポの良いトークに笑っている間に見学にスポットに！
時間も短すぎず長すぎず、ちょうど良かったです！
四季彩の丘のアルパカ牧場で癒されました〜

想像以上に楽しかったので感動です！

The Blue Pond had well-maintained paths, allowing us to see the beautiful pond. At the Shikisai no Oka, we rode on a unique vehicle that resembled a tractor (for a fee), and we could see the magnificent landscape in the distance, along with many flowers. I think July is the best time to visit.

青い池は、道がきちんと整備されており、美しい池を
みることができた。四季彩の丘では、トラクターみたいな変わった
乗り物（有料でした）に乗って、壮大な風景が遠くに見えて、そして
たくさんの花々が見えました。7月が一番いいと思います。
