All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

Since it was a Saturday tour, my family was able to participate. We had a great time watching the training of the new ground staff at the counter and the water evacuation training for the cabin crew. The guide mentioned that even staff members rarely get to see the water training, so we felt very lucky. It was interesting to learn that 70% of the training for the glamorous cabin crew is focused on safety operations, which made me realize that safe flights are made possible thanks to each and every one of them. The pilots who finished their training in the flight simulator also waved to us in a friendly manner.

土曜日の見学ツアーだったので家族で参加できました。
新人グランドスタッフさんのカウンターでの訓練の様子や、客室乗務員さんの水上脱出訓練を見ることができとても楽しかったです。説明員の方がおっしゃってましたが、水上訓練はスタッフでもなかなか見る機会がないとのことで、とてもラッキーでした。華やかに見える客室乗務員さんの訓練の７０％は安全業務だということで、改めて安全なフライトは皆さん一人一人のお陰で成り立っているのだと実感できました。フライトシュミレータから訓練を終えたパイロットさんも気さくに手を振ってくださいました。

I had seen in reviews that there were many foreign participants, so I had assumed it might be noisy, but the bus was quiet, and everything was on schedule, allowing us to have a very smooth day!

The tour guide was very pleasant and surprised us by explaining things in three languages!

The bus drove safely, which was reassuring, but the seats were a bit cramped, so my body started to ache after a long time traveling.

Overall, it was an excellent trip! Thank you!

参加者は外国の方が多いとクチコミで見ていたので、騒がしいのかなーと勝手に思っていたのですが、バスの中は静かで時間もきっちりされていて、とてもスムーズな1日を過ごすことができました！

添乗員さんは感じの良い方で、３ヶ国語で説明もされていて驚きました！

バスも安全運転だったので安心でしたが、座席が狭めなので、長時間移動で体が痛くなりました。。

ですが全体的に◎の旅でした！ありがとうございました！

At first, I was thinking of using a non-tour bus for sightseeing. However, as I researched bus stops and schedules, I started to feel a bit overwhelmed (getting older makes things feel more burdensome), so I decided to join a tour instead. Since I only needed to remember the meeting place and time for the bus, I didn't have to think about a lot of things and was able to leisurely enjoy the gassho-zukuri architecture and nature.

Additionally, the guide pointed out photo spots, and I was able to capture the gassho-zukuri houses with the fresh green mountains and blue sky in the background, along with the rice fields that had just finished planting.

最初はツアーでないバスを使って観光しようと思っていました。
でもバス停や時刻表など調べていて、ちょっと気が重くなってきて（歳を重ねて億劫になってきました）ツアーに参加することにしました。
バスの集合場所と時間だけ覚えておけばよいので、あれこれ考える必要がなく、ゆっくり合掌造りと自然を楽しめました。

そして、ガイドさんにフォトスポットを教えていただき、新緑の山と青空をバックに合掌造りと田植えが終わったばかりの水田が撮れました。

I needed a cane to walk due to my mobility issues, but for the stair area, an elevator was arranged, and explanations were also prepared separately for everyone. As a result, I was able to take my time and explore various places while listening to the explanations.

私は足が不自由なため、歩くのに杖が必要でしたが、階段エリアについては、エレベーター手配していだき、また説明ほ皆さんと別にご準備していただけました
そのため、ゆっくりと、いろいろな場所をゆっくり説明聞きながらまわることができました

I was looking forward to visiting the northern region since I had never been there before. It was mentioned that there would be an accompanying tour conductor instead of a guide. Even though it was a tour conductor, I felt that the explanations were a bit lacking. There was an announcement about the departure time before getting off the bus, but the guidance on where to go and what to do was not very clear. In some places, there were explanations provided. It seemed that the microphone wasn't working well, so it appeared that only the people in the front seats were getting the explanations...

北部は行ったことがなかったので楽しみにしていました。
ガイドさんではなく添乗員さんの同行とのこと。
添乗員さんとはいえ説明が少し足りないと思いました。
バスを降りる前に出発時間のアナウンスはあるのですが、どこで何をするのか分かりやすい案内ではなかった。
場所によっては説明してくれる所もあった。
マイクの声がとおらなくて前方の席の人には説明してたようですが…

Tour guide Mr. Mike narration is good.
The trip itinerary slip with brief details was missing.

The service from the tour guide was amazing. I was impressed that they could speak English, Chinese, and Japanese. They handed out maps and provided detailed explanations on efficient routes and locations. They also answered questions, which made me feel at ease. I will participate again!

添乗員さんのサービスがすごい。
英語、中国語、日本語が話せて感心しました。
地図を配ってくれて、効率の良い回り方と、場所の説明も細かく教えてれました。質問にも答えてくれて安心しました。
また参加します！

A great plan that allows you to visit Takayama and Shirakawa-go in one day, which is difficult to do on your own. The guide was fluent in three languages, and there were no issues with the explanations in Japanese. They provided a course that was easy to navigate, and following their suggestions allowed us to manage our time perfectly. There seemed to be congestion on the road just before Shirakawa-go, but thanks to the driver's and guide's judgment to take an alternate route, we arrived smoothly. Although we got tired from walking around in the heat, we were able to take breaks in the air-conditioned bus during the transfers, which made it very comfortable for us.

個人ではなかなか移動が難しい、高山と白川郷を1日で周れるお得なプラン。
ガイドさんは３カ国語ペラペラで、日本語の説明も問題ありませんでした。
周りやすいコースも案内していただき、その通りに周ればちょうどいいくらいの時間でした。白川郷の手前で道路が混雑してたみたいなのですが、ドライバーさんとガイドさんの判断で別ルートに変更されたことでスムーズに到着できました。
また暑い中歩き回って疲れたのですが、移動中にクーラーの効いたバス内で休憩ができたので、身体もとても楽でした。

We were blessed with great weather, making it the best tour experience. Thanks to Mr. Otsuka's thorough explanations and the background knowledge we gained at the Tateyama Caldera Sabo Museum about the snow wall, we were able to appreciate the actual snow walls over time and feel the grandeur of nature even more. We drank spring water from the Itachi River that we collected in our water bottles, dug into the snow to create a table like a kotatsu, and enjoyed our lunch there. We also got to see a rock ptarmigan. Thank you for this extraordinary experience!

お天気に恵まれ最高のツアー体験でした
大塚さんの丁寧な解説や立山カルデラ砂防博物館で雪の大谷の予備知識を得られたことで、実物の雪の壁に時間を重ねて見たり、自然の雄大さをより感じることができました
いたち川の湧き水を頂いた水筒に入れて飲んだり、雪原で雪を掘り炬燵のように掘りテーブルを作ってお弁当を食べたり、雷鳥も見ることができました
非日常体験をありがとうございました

I walked in an incredible wind. The condition of the road was bad. There were puddles too. But I’m really glad I came because of the wonderful scenery.

ものすごい風の中あるきました。道の状態は、わるかつたです。みずたまりもあつたし。でも、素晴らしい景色で本当にあってよかった

If you're going to the Churaumi Aquarium, this is the best choice. In this class, there are often additional charges for admission, but this price includes everything. At the Kouri Bridge, we were able to see sea turtles.

美ら海水族館に行くなら1番。このクラスだと、入場券別が多いが、込みでこの価格。古宇利大橋では、ウミカメにあえました。

I found this tour while planning my trip to Kanazawa after many decades. The idea of being able to take a day trip to Shirakawa-go was exciting! Since my last visit was in the summer, I was thrilled to see the gassho-zukuri reflected in the rice fields! I quickly jumped at the opportunity and made a reservation.

The microbus stopped near the bus stop for the Shirakawa-go viewpoint, allowing us to fully enjoy the wonderful scenery of the town and the surrounding mountains. The tour guide pointed out great spots for sightseeing and photography, so I was able to capture beautiful shots of the gassho-zukuri reflected in the rice fields.

It was my first visit to Gokayama, and I was once again touched by the beauty of Japan's satoyama (rural landscape). The tour guide's information about Kanazawa was also very interesting (thank you!).

We arrived in Kanazawa just before 4 PM. I thought it was a perfect time for those taking the shinkansen to head home, but I personally wished for a bit more time to stay in each place.

ん十年ぶりの金沢旅行からのプラン考え中にこのツアーを見つけました。
白川郷に日帰りで行けるなんて！前回訪問は夏だったので水田に映る合掌作りが見れる！の案内に直ぐ飛びつき予約をしました。
白川郷展望台へのマイクロバス乗り場から近くにバスが停車、白川郷の街並みと山々の素晴らしい景色をぞんぶんに堪能できました。
添乗員さんが見学＆撮影ポイントを教えてくださったので水田に映る合掌作りもバッチリ撮影できました。
五箇山は初めての来訪。改めて日本の里山の素晴らしさに心和みました。
添乗員さんの金沢を含めた案内もとても興味深かったです。(ありがとうございます。)
金沢到着16時前。新幹線に乗って帰宅される方には丁度いい時間と思いましたが、私はそれぞれもう少し滞在時間が欲しかったです。

The transfer from the boat to the bus to the water buffalo and back to the bus and then the boat can be quite a journey. I think it's better to avoid walking to the water buffalo riding area, especially on hot days, due to the elevation changes. I'm glad I went with a tour.

船→バスの送迎→水牛→バスの送迎→船
水牛乗り場まで、徒歩で行くのは高低差もあり、暑い日はやめた方が良いと思います。ツアーで良かったと思いました

I was aiming to go to the tip of the Shakotan Peninsula, but unfortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately...

積丹半島の先端に行くのが目的でしたが残念残念残念残念残念残念残念残念残念残念残念、、、、、、、、、、

I took a solo trip to Yakushima at a turning point in my life. It was a place I had longed to visit someday… and it turned out to be the perfect spot for me at this moment. Considering the season, I was blessed with good weather and felt like I received a lot of energy from the great outdoors!!

Our tour group consisted of six women, and from the start, we successfully completed the mountain trekking without any of us retiring after 11 hours and 30 minutes. The sense of accomplishment I felt at the end was something I could only experience here. I think it was physically quite challenging for us 🤭.

I hope to visit Yakushima again someday!

人生の節目に屋久島ひとり旅をしました。

またいつの日か屋久島を訪ねたいです！

I saw a facility for evacuation drills when an airplane lands in the sea. It's important to train for everything that could possibly happen so that we can respond without panic when it occurs.

海に飛行機が着陸した時の避難訓練の施設を見ました。あり得ることは全て訓練しておくことで、発生した時に慌てずに対応出来るようにしておくことが重要ですね。

I had a wonderful experience riding the water buffalo cart on Iriomote Island, which I had wanted to try after seeing it featured on TV and in magazines. Unfortunately, the weather was rainy and not very good, but the day flew by as we traveled between three islands by ferry and bus from the morning. Next time I go, I would like to stay overnight on each island.

以前よりテレビや雑誌で紹介されてる西表島の水牛車に乗ってみたかったのでたいへん良い思い出になりました。
あいにく天気は雨模様であまり良くなかったですが朝からフェリーやバス移動で3島巡りがあっという間に1日が過ぎた感じです。今度行くときは各島々に1泊しながら行ってみたいです

Since it was forecasted to rain, the day trip tour by bus was excellent. I was able to visit various places and I am very satisfied! The time management was also good, and I would like to use this service again if I have the opportunity.

雨の予報だったのでバスで日帰りツアーは最高でした。色んな所へ行けてとても満足しています！時間配分的にも良くてまた機会があれば利用したいと思っています。

I'm in my late 50s and I don't consider hiking a hobby. A few years ago, I used to go to the gym once or twice a week, but I've stopped that recently and now I only walk a few times a month (about 5 kilometers). I like walking, so I thought it would be fine to participate, but 20 kilometers was indeed quite exhausting. I borrowed my mother's hiking boots (same size) from when she used to hike, but they were heavy! Are hiking boots really this heavy? Looking around, I noticed others had lighter, sneaker-like trekking shoes. Is there a difference between hiking boots and trekking shoes? Or have things changed in the last ten years? Because of these heavy boots, I found it hard to walk, my ankles hurt, and my feet became fatigued. On the way back, my legs were shaking and I lightly stumbled, but fortunately, I didn't suffer any serious damage. I think if it weren't for the guide, I would have struggled to pace myself and would have panicked in the second half. I believe the group was organized with age considerations in mind. We were lucky with the weather and didn't get rained on, which made for a very pleasant experience. I think it would have been much tougher if it had rained.

登山を趣味とはしていない50代後半です。数年前まではジムに週１，2回行ってましたが最近はやめてしまい、月数回程度ウォーキング（5キロ）する程度です。
歩くのは好きなので、まあ大丈夫かと思って参加しましたが、20キロはやはりかなり疲れました。靴は、以前、登山をしていた母親のもの（サイズは同じ）を借りたのですが、重い！！登山靴ってこんなに重いものなの？？周りの人を見てみるともっと軽そうなスニーカー風のトレッキングシューズ。登山靴とトレッキングシューズは違うのかな？それとも10年以上前と今とでは違うのか？！この靴のせいで重くて歩きにくくて足首が痛くなって足全体が疲労しました。帰りは足ガクガクで軽く転んでしまいましたが、大したダメージは受けずにすみました。ガイドさんがいなかったら、きっとペース配分ができずに後半焦ることなったのではと思います。グループ編成は年齢を考慮してくれていたと思います。天候には恵まれ雨に降られることなくとても気持ちよく過ごせました。雨が降っていたらもっと大変だっただろうなと思います。

Hat an interesting tour! While I speak some Japanese the rest of my family does not. I did my best to translate what I could, but I know we missed out on a lot of the interesting facts about the water buffalo and the tradition and origin story of this interesting mode of transport. We wished we had also understood more about the mangroves.

Thank you for allowing me to participate in this tour 😊 I was healed by the adorable Maekun, and all my daily fatigue disappeared. It was so much fun! If there's another opportunity, I would love to join again 🥺 Thank you, Maekun!

今回ツアーに参加させて頂いてありがとうございます😊
可愛い真栄君に癒されて　日頃の疲れも飛びました　楽しかったです♪
また　機会がありましたらよろしくお願いします🥺
真栄君ありがとーー

The designated hotel shuttle service is available, and the transportation on the remote islands is well thought out, making it very convenient. On Iriomote Island, I was able to see the mangrove forests up close, and on Yubu Island and Taketomi Island, I enjoyed a leisurely pace of sightseeing while riding on water buffalo carts. The local guide's commentary was also entertaining. On Taketomi Island, if you want to get around and visit the highlights, it seems necessary to make a reservation for a rental bicycle in advance.

指定ホテル送迎もあり、離島での移動も効率よく考えられていて楽チンです。西表島ではマングローブ林をしっかり見ることができ、由布島と竹富島ではそれぞれ水牛車に乗って、のんびりしたペースで観光を楽しむことができました。現地ガイドさんのトークも面白かったです。竹富島では、島内を移動して見どころを回るならレンタサイクルの事前予約がないと厳しそうです。

The guide was kind, and the explanations were easy to understand, which was great! Also, the driver had a good personality and drove carefully, making me feel safe. I was satisfied with how efficiently we visited the tourist spots.

ガイドさんが親切で、説明もわかりやすくて、とても良かった！
また、運転手の方も、人柄が良く運転も丁寧で安心できた。
観光スポットも効率よく回れて満足。

It was my first time participating. I was able to enter the facility 20 minutes early, checked in with my reservation form, and waited in the lobby while looking around until the start time.

When it was time, I was guided in, and the tour began.

A pilot trainee was the one who guided us.

初めての参加でした。
20分前に施設に入る事ができ、予約表と共に受付し開始までロビーで色々見ながら待ってました。

時間になり案内されツアー開始しました。

パイロット訓練生の方が案内してくれました。

Despite trekking for 10.5 hours in the rain, I had the best experience thanks to our guide and my companions (five of us in total). Here are the highlights:

- I was able to leave the arrangements for access to the trailhead and the lunch boxes for breakfast and lunch to them.
- With many other trekkers around, the guide's support (managing pace, rest spots, sharing with other groups, taking photos, and providing explanations at key points) allowed us to trek safely and comfortably.

Once again, thank you very much.

ずんやり雨の中、往復１０．５時間のトレッキングでしたが、ガイドさんと同伴者（私を含めて５名）のおかげ様で最高の経験をできました。
以下よかった点になります
・登山口までのアクセス、朝昼の弁当の手配などおまかせでいけました
・他トレッキング者が多数の中、ガイドさんのサポート（ペース配分、休憩場所、他グループ等との譲り合い、写真撮影、要所要所での説明）のもと、安全に、気持ちよくトレッキングすることができました。
あらためて、ありがとうございました。

This is a place I want to visit at least once in my lifetime, so I practiced in advance and went there with excitement. However, the guide was really strict. They were focused on getting us back before the bus time and insisted we hurry up to have lunch because it looked like it might rain. They took pictures at certain points, but we were rushed, and people weren't even ready in the photos. The guide kept saying how things should be done and that this kind of guiding isn't good. They mentioned that for someone like me, it was just a hike, but it could be dangerous for amateurs who come unprepared. Because of this, we couldn't fully enjoy the experience and had to return quite early, resulting in a long wait for the bus. I wanted to enjoy it more.

一生に一度は訪れたい場所で楽しみに事前に練習して行きました。ところがガイドさんがほんとスパルタでした。帰りのバス時間前に戻る、雨が降りそうだから早く登ってランチする事に全意識されてました。ポイントで写真撮ってくれますが急かされ人物も準備出来てないまま写っています。ガイドはこうあるべきだ、こんなガイドは良く無い、これは自分にはただのハイキングだが素人が何も準備せず来るから危険と言う話が多く、しっかり見れずかなり早く戻ってかなりバス待ちました。もっと楽しみたかった。

The allocation of time for the tour was excellent, and I was able to see all the places I wanted to visit in this area. It was a very good tour. Additionally, our guide, Mr. Yanagyu, was very friendly, and his explanations of each sightseeing spot were very clear, so I was never bored. If I have the opportunity, I would like to participate again.

見学時間の配分などがとても良く、このエリアの行きたかった場所が全て見れて、とても良いツアーでした。また、添乗員の柳生さんはとても気さくで、各名勝地の説明も非常にわかりやすく、全く退屈しませんでした。機会があれば、また参加したいです。

Being so close, with no clouds, and the guide's sensitivity, Lake Toya and its mirror-like surface were exceptional. The lakeside restaurant at Lake Toya also serves delicious food.

あんな近くで、雲も無く、ガイドさんも、感度。洞爺湖の、鏡洞爺湖は、格別でした。洞爺湖ランチ、湖畔亭も、美味しいです。

It was great that it didn't rain, but since it was mostly cloudy, the views weren't as spectacular as they could have been. However, I was able to visit many wonderful places, so I'm glad I participated!

I think our tour guide, Mr. Yanagyu, had a tough time providing explanations in both Japanese and Chinese, but he was very cheerful and took photos and chatted with us, which made the experience incredibly enjoyable! The female driver was also very cheerful and drove safely. Thank you both very much!

雨が降らなかったのは良かったけど…基本曇多めだったのでどこの景色も最高だった！とまではいかなかった　でも、どこもよい所で色々な所に行けたので参加して良かったです！
添乗員さんの柳生さんも日本語と中国語の両方の説明で大変だったと思いますが、明るい方で写真撮ってくれたり話しかけてくれたりとめちゃくちゃ楽しめました！女性のドライバーの方も明るい方で安全な運転をしてくれました！お二方共ありがとうございました！！

I was able to visit various tourist spots smoothly, guided to places that are not easy to visit all at once. The tour was easy to understand and offered at a more affordable price compared to other sightseeing buses. However, since it was not a large sightseeing bus but rather a medium-sized microbus, when not comparing it to other sightseeing buses, the focus on content and cost performance, along with the hospitality of our guide, Mr. Yanagyu, provided value beyond the price.

One thing I noticed was that during the free lunch time when the A course split, many shops were closed on Wednesday, which limited our options. Also, on the B course, we were supposed to visit Showa Shinzan later, but since we didn't see the ranch, we might have had extra time even after shortening the visit. It might have been better if we had partnered with a restaurant near Lake Toya.

Overall, it was a good experience. Unlike other guides, our guide paid attention to fashion and had her makeup done well, showing a commitment to beauty. I thought it would be great if others could follow her example.

色々な観光地を回れて、なかなか一度に行けない箇所をスムーズに案内され、わかりやすく
ツアーで、他の観光バスよりもお手軽な値段ではありましたが、観光バスではなく、中型のママイクロバスだった為、他の観光バスと比較しなければ、中身重視とコストパフォーマンス、及びガイド案内の柳生さんのおもてなしは、価格以上の価値はありました。少し気になった箇所で言えば、Ａコース分かれた時の　自由昼食、水曜な為、お店がクローズ多いので限定的になってしまった事と、Ｂコースで後から昭和新山行きますが、牧場見なかったため、時間を
短縮しても余ってしまったかな。洞爺湖付近で
食事提携したら良かったかな。
　全体的に　良かったです。
ガイドさんも、他の同じガイドさんと違い、ファッションに気をつけてたり、メイクアップもきちんとしていて、美容に力を入れてる方でした。見習ってほしいなぁと思いました。
