I wanted to go to the Churaumi Aquarium, and since I thought driving a rental car would be tiring, I decided to join a tour.
We were picked up in front of the prefectural office, and there were four participants on the trip. I was worried about the weather, but it turned out to be cloudy, and I was satisfied that we could visit the places we wanted to go.
The bridge to Kouri Island must have been really beautiful if the weather had been nice. Maybe I'll try again for a revenge trip!
美ら海水族館に行きたくて、レンタカーだと気疲れしそうだったので、ツアーに参加する事にしました。
県庁前ピックアップ、参加者4人の旅でした。
天気が心配だったけど、なんとか曇り空で、
行きたいところいけて、満足しました。
古宇利島の橋は、天気が良ければむっちゃ綺麗だったんだろうな。

Unfortunately, the weather was bad, so we decided to return by glass boat and water buffalo. Since it was a 2:30 tour, we didn't have much time, but it was nice to experience the townscape with the water buffalo. However, I feel like once is enough. I think it would be better to enjoy it more leisurely with just adults.
あいにくの天気だったので、グラスボートと水牛で帰る事にしました。
2時半のツアーだったので、時間ももともとなく水牛で街並みを体験できたのでとりあえず良かったかな。
でも、一度行けばいいかなという感じです。大人だけでのんびりという方がいいかなと感じました。

It was a combination of a bus tour and a water buffalo cart tour. The guide shared a lot of information about Taketomi Island. I was the only person, but they kindly offered, "Shall I take your picture?"

I had planned to visit four islands, but due to COVID, I couldn't go to one island and changed my plan to visit three islands instead. Fortunately, the weather was great, and the tour was very fulfilling, making it a wonderful memory. I participated alone, but it was not a problem at all. I would like to use this service again.
4島巡りを予定していましたが、コロナのため、1島行けず、3島巡りに予定変更しました。幸いにも天候に恵まれ、またツアーの中身も中身も充実していて、とても良い思い出となりました。一人で参加でしたが、全く問題ありません。また利用したいと思います。

I participated in a popular tour that covers tourist spots in the northern region. There are often cases where the distance from the parking lot to the facilities is considerable, so it's necessary to take measures against the heat.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the dolphin shows and manatee learning experiences at the Churaumi Aquarium have been canceled, and the shows at Ryukyu Village were shortened in both time and content, so I recommend checking their website in advance.
However, all facilities have implemented thorough infection prevention measures, including temperature checks and alcohol disinfection (including awamori disinfection) upon entry, and we were able to enjoy sightseeing and meals while maintaining social distance. The buses also ensured disinfection upon boarding, which made me feel safe participating.
北部の観光地を網羅している人気のツアーに参加しました。駐車場から施設までの距離があったりするケースが多く暑さ対策必要です。
コロナ禍で美ら海水族館のイルカショーやマナティ学習体験などは中止されており、琉球村のショーは時間も内容も短縮されていたので、事前にHPで確認するのをお勧めします。
ただどの施設も感染予防対策が徹底されており、入館時は検温、アルコール消毒(泡盛消毒も)あり、ソーシャルディスタンスで見学や食事を楽しむことが出来ました。バスも乗車時にも必ず消毒していたので安心して参加出来ました。

To fulfill my mother's wish to visit Okinawa, I invited my daughter, and we ended up traveling together as a trio. Since my mother had knee surgery and has difficulty walking, we requested a sightseeing taxi to pick us up at the airport. It was incredibly convenient, and we were able to visit all the places we wanted to see, including delicious restaurants and the Blue Seal ice cream shop. It was great! Since we managed to visit everything on the first day, we could relax at the hotel on the second and third days, which allowed us to show our appreciation to our parents. Thank you so much to the kind driver!
一度沖縄に行ってみたいという母の願いを叶える為娘も誘って三人で旅行することになりました。両膝の手術をして足が悪いため行きに空港お迎えの観光タクシーをお願いしました。すっごく楽で行きたい所見たい所全部廻れて美味しい食堂もブルーシールのアイス屋さんも連れてってくれて、良かったです。初日に全部廻れたので、2日目3日目とホテルで、ゆっくりできて、親孝行できました。親切な運転手さんで本当にありがとうございました

It's difficult to get around without a car. I participated with the aim of visiting Cape Hedo and Daichi Shurin. Both places have stunning views, but it's a shame that the time spent there was short. On the way back, if you get caught in traffic, it can take quite a while to return to Naha. If you participate on your last day in Okinawa, you might miss your flight.

I requested a half-day course with airport pickup. I participated alone, and although it was by taxi, the driver provided a lot of explanations about Yakushima. I was satisfied to reach the ancient cedar I wanted to see. There was also an explanation about Yakusugi Land. I spent my time very meaningfully right after arriving in Yakushima.
The next day, since the Jomon Cedar tour was canceled, I applied for the morning course over the phone, and that was also a great decision. This time it was by bus, and the bus guide's explanations were truly professional, which made me very satisfied.
Especially for those planning to go through the Western Forest Road, I think the bus tour is the best option without a doubt. No matter how many times I go, I want to leave that road to the driver. The full-day course is more economical, but I think doing half a day each is also a good option.
There’s a sense of satisfaction from being able to circle the island, and I absolutely recommend it.
午後の半日コースを空港ピックアップでお願いしました。1名参加で、タクシーだったのですが、運転士さんがずっと屋久島の説明をしてくれました。行きたかった紀元杉まで行けて満足してます。ヤクスギランドも説明付きでした。屋久島に着いてすぐの時間をとても有意義に過ごせました。
そして次の日。縄文杉ツアーが中止になったので午前のコースを電話で申し込みましたが、こちらも大正解。こちらはバスでしたがバスガイドさんの説明がさすがプロという感じで、大満足です。
特に、西部林道を通る予定の人は、バスツアー一択で、間違い無いかと…。何回目でも、運転手さんにお任せしたい道でした。
1日コースの方がお得ですが、半日づつもありかなと思います。
島を一周できる満足感もあり、絶対にオススメします。

Last September, I participated with my family. I was worried about whether I could walk properly, but the guide would take breaks just when I was getting tired, so I managed to keep up. Other than during breaks, I hardly had the luxury to look around; I was just focused on my feet and walking! The trolley path is easy to walk on since there are wooden planks between the rails, but if you get distracted by the scenery, you might trip. (Especially on the way back, be careful as your legs will be tired.)
Since a typhoon had just passed, the weather was strange, alternating between sunny and rainy, but I was lucky to see the moss dripping with water, sparkling in the sunlight. The scenery was truly amazing, making my little worries disappear. The next day, I had intense muscle pain, so I think it would be better to plan the order of optional tours considering the muscle soreness.
昨年9月に家族で参加しました。
ちゃんと歩けるだろうかと不安がありましたが、ガイドさんの後ろを黙々と歩き疲れるころに休憩が入るので何とか付いていけました。
休憩の時以外は、周りを見る余裕はほとんどなく、足元を見てとにかく歩く!という感じでした。トロッコ道はレールの間に木が敷いてあるので歩きやすいですが、うっかり景色に見とれると転びます。(特に帰りは足が疲れているので要注意です。)
台風が通過したばかりだったので、晴れたり雨が降ったりの変な天気でしたが、苔に水がしたたり、それが太陽を浴びてキラキラと光っているのを見れたのでラッキーでした。本当に素晴らしい景色で、ちっぽけな悩みなんか吹き飛びます。
翌日は筋肉痛がものすごかったので、オプショナルツアーの順番は筋肉痛も加味して組んだ方がいいと思いました。

Following my visit to Okinawa in November 2018 (two months ago), I experienced my first New Year's celebration in Okinawa and participated in my first island sightseeing bus tour. Although I have visited these places many times by rental car, traveling by bus allowed for a leisurely pace. I highly recommend this tour as it covers many attractions in one day, including Kouri Island, the Churaumi Aquarium, Manza Beach, and Ryukyu Village.
2018年11月(2ヵ月前)の訪問に続いての沖縄訪問。沖縄で初めての年越しで、初めての島内観光バスツアーに参加しました。レンタカーで幾度となく訪問した場所ですが、バスでゆっくりと移動でき、一日で古宇利島、美ら海水族館、万座毛、琉球村などなど、訪問できるのでお勧めです。

I was able to efficiently visit Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island in one day, which was great. The weather was nice, so cycling around the islands felt refreshing and enjoyable. The water buffalo were cute and smart, and I enjoyed leisurely watching the village on Taketomi Island, which gave me a sense of being in a different world. It might be a bit more expensive than going individually, but with the hotel pick-up service, it was very efficient and satisfying. The staff were also kind. Actually, I left something at the Taketomi Island tourist center, but when I contacted them, they promptly sent it to me by mail. Thank you very much.

It was not a trip, but a struggle. If it had been sunny, the 22 km round trip hike in 10 hours might have been more enjoyable, but the long journey in the rain was cold. I strongly recommend avoiding rainy days if you have flexibility in your schedule. The long ascent on the stairs in the second half was tough, of course, but the boards on the wet trolley path were slippery, making it really difficult to walk. That day was truly a battle with myself; I participated with my daughter, and I believe I was able to show her, as a parent, the attitude of "never giving up and doing my best until the end."
There were seven tour participants (including one elderly woman whose shoe sole came off, leading to her unfortunate retirement → waiting). Including the guide and my daughter, all six others were in their 20s, and I was the only one in my 50s. The young people walked really fast, and I was struggling to keep up. I had heard that I needed to walk at the guide's pace, but it was fast, too fast. I wished they would walk a bit slower. I believe we could have finished the descent on time even if we walked more slowly.
To make matters worse, about a third of the way back on the trolley path, I slipped and fell, injuring myself. Even two weeks later, my tailbone still hurts. My toenail has also become a blood blister and is still black.
Additionally, standing in front of Jomon Sugi, I felt an incredible sense of accomplishment, but the stay was too short. Including lunch, it was only 30 minutes... After climbing all that way, I wanted to stay a bit longer. I wanted to take more photos and videos. Initially, we arrived at Jomon Sugi 40 minutes earlier than the explanation we received at the airport upon arriving in Yakushima...
The young guide was kind, lending me a walking stick and serving everyone miso soup during lunch, but it turned out to be a very regretful tour. Also, for us as beginner hikers, the prior explanation about what clothes to wear was unclear. I wished they had specified "rainwear" for both top and bottom.
旅行じゃなくて、苦行だった。晴れなら往復22km10時間の登山ももう少し楽しめたのだろうけど、雨にうたれての長い行程は寒かった。日程に余裕があるなら雨の日は避けることを強くお勧めする。後半の長い登り階段の登山道ももちろんきつかったけど、雨に濡れた軌道敷(トロッコ道)内の踏み板が滑りやすく、本当に歩きづらかった。この日はまさに己との戦い、今回我が娘と参加したが、親として「絶対に諦めない・最後まで頑張る」姿勢を見せられたと思う。
ツアー客は7人(内、一人の年配の女性は靴底が取れてしまい、無念のリタイヤ→待機)。ガイドや娘も含めてあと6人全員20代、50代は私ただ一人。若い人は歩くのが本当に速くて、私はついていくのに必死。「ガイドに合わせて歩かなくちゃいけない」と噂に聞いてはいたが、早い、早すぎる。もっとゆっくり歩いて欲しかった。もっとゆっくりでも充分下山終了時間に間に合ったと思われる。
最悪なことに帰りのトロッコ道を3分の1歩いたあたりで滑ってしりもち、怪我したし。2週間たった今だに尾てい骨が痛い。足の爪も血豆になって今も真っ黒。
あと、縄文杉を目の前にして、達成感はものすごく感じられたけど、滞在時間短すぎ。ランチを含め30分って。。せっかく登ってきたんだからもう少し居たかった。もっと写真やビデオを撮りたかった。当初、屋久島到着時空港で受けた説明より40分も早く縄文杉に到着したのに。。。
若いガイドさんは杖を貸してくれたり、ランチ時に全員にミソスープをふるまってくれたりして良い方だったが、非常に心残りのツアーになった。
あと、登山初心者の私たちにとって、着ていく服の事前説明がわかりにくかった。上下の「レインウェア」と記載してほしかった。

Taketomi Island was very beautiful and pleasant. It seemed that the village had architectural standards, and all the buildings had that Okinawa vibe. The houses, stone walls, trees, flowers, sky, and sea were all lovely.
The tour itself was excellent, but I was a bit disappointed with the service from the rental bike staff at the tourist center. It wasn't particularly cheap, around 1,300 yen per person, so I wanted to consider walking or taking the bus and ask about how long it would take to get to the beach before deciding. However, as soon as I approached the counter, I was somewhat forced into a contract with comments like, "Okay, we don't have time, so I'll explain everything at once. Please pay for the ferry tickets (to prevent anyone from skipping out) and your money first. Buses are a no-go, we don't have time, hurry up and gather!"
Additionally, the bike saddle was too high, and the girls struggled for a few minutes trying to adjust it, but the male staff member just kept saying, "Usually, everyone adjusts it themselves," and didn't help at all. I understand there are rules for the rental bikes, and it can be tedious to hear complaints about saddle adjustments, but in this day and age where participant feedback is easily shared, wouldn't it be safer to show a little kindness?
竹富島はとてもきれいで気持ちよかったです。村は全て建築基準があるようで、すべての建物がThe 沖縄という感じで雰囲気がでてました。家も石垣も木も花も空も海もきれいでした。
ツアー自体は最高だったのですが、観光センター内のレンタサイクルの方たちの対応が少し残念でした。確か一人1300円程と安いものではなかったため、歩きやバスも候補に入れており、ビーチまでどのくらい時間等がかかるか色々話を聞いてから決めたかったのですが、カウンターに近づくなり、「はい、時間無いからみんなまとめて説明するので先にフェリーのチケット(乗り逃げされないように)とお金払ってくださいね~バスなんてダメダメ~時間無いよ、はいはい、早く集まって~」という様に半強制的に契約させられました。また、自転車のサドルが高くて調節しようと女子だけで数分四苦八苦してたのですが、担当の男性の方は「普段調節は皆さま各自でされてますので~」の一点張りで何もしてくれませんでした。そこのレンタサイクルの規則はもちろんあるでしょうし、いちいちサドル調節が固いと言われてもかったるいのだとは思いますが、この参加者の意見が筒抜けな時代、少しの親切心でも見せた方が無難なのでは?と思いました。

I explored by rental bicycle. If I were alone, I would have taken my time, but my friend was getting bored, so we just breezed through. On the way to Nishizanshi, Nagomi Tower, Kondoi Beach, Kaiji Beach, and Taketomi Port, I was able to see the bright red flowers of the Deigo tree.
As we passed by some houses, we also saw some cows. I wondered what some of the islanders were doing while we tourists were staying there. Even though it is a touristy place, it still retains a certain simplicity.
However, it's unfortunate that such a small island is facing resort hotel development; I saw several signs opposing the development.
In the past, when I received sand from Taketomi Island as a souvenir, it evoked images of dreams and romance, but I think if I had visited when I was younger, my feelings would have been different.
But it's a place you can easily visit from Ishigaki Island.
I hope to revisit Taketomi Island, filled with nostalgic memories, someday.
レンタサイクルで回りました。1人ならじっくりみましたが、友人は、退屈してたので、さらりと。西桟橋、なごみの塔、コンドイビーチ、カイジ浜、竹富港に向かう時、真っ赤なデイゴの花も見ることができました。
民家の前を通りながら、牛さんも見ることができました。
わたしたち観光客が、滞在しているあいだ、島の人の一部は、どうしてるのかと、思いました。観光化されていても、素朴さが残る場所です。
ただ残念なことは、こんな小さな島なのに、また、リゾートホテルの開発が、、開発反対の看板をいくつかみました。
昔、竹富島の☆砂をお土産に、もらった時に、夢とかロマンスとかのイメージでしたが、若い時に、訪れていたら、感動もまた違うだろうと。
でも、石垣島から、ふらっといける場所です。
懐かしさが残る、竹富島の想い出またいつか。

It seems that other tours had private arrangements, but this one was quite lively with about 20 people sharing a single vehicle.
My elderly mother, who visited Taketomi Island for the first time, was delighted to see the townscape comfortably without having to walk. The way the water buffalo skillfully navigated the narrow corners was wonderful!
Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great, so I would like to visit again on a clear day.
The round-trip ferry ticket between Ishigaki Island and Taketomi Island, along with the water buffalo tour and a gift of a Cheki photo at the end, made it a fantastic deal!
他社のツアーは貸切状態のところもあったようですが、こちらは1台に20名ほど同乗で盛況でした。
竹富島が初めての高齢の母も、歩かずにゆったりと街並みが見られて喜んでいました。
狭い曲がり角も巧みに進む牛さんが素晴らしい!
残念ながらお天気が今ひとつだったので、今度は快晴の時に伺いたいと思います。
石垣島ー竹富島の往復乗船券と、水牛観光、最後はチェキの写真のプレゼントもあり、とってもお得でした!

I chose the bus tour and the water buffalo tour. The content of the tour left a neutral impression. Considering the size of the island and the time allocated for sightseeing, I think it was reasonable. However, after the water buffalo tour, we were almost forced to take a group photo, and we had to wait about 10 minutes until it was our turn. The atmosphere made it difficult to decline purchasing the commemorative photo, which I didn't want, and I didn't like that business approach.
バス観光と水牛観光を選択した。
ツアーの内容は可もなく不可もなくといった印象。
島の大きさと、観光の時間を考えたら妥当な内容だと思う。
ただ、水牛観光終了後にほぼ強制的にグループごとに記念撮影をさせられ、自分たちの順番が来るまで10分くらい待たされた挙句に、写真の購入を断りにくい雰囲気で欲しくもない記念写真を購入させられる商いのやり方は、好きになれない。
