All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

I have been to Okinawa about 20 times, but it was my first time visiting Kouri Island and Manza Beach. Personally, the time allocation was just right. (Pineapple Park might have been a bit long.) I felt reassured that hand sanitizer was available everywhere. It was great that they picked me up from the hotel I was staying at and dropped me off at my destination hotel on the way back. Staying at multiple hotels while being able to sightsee and travel was the best experience.

沖縄には20回程行っていますが、古宇利島、万座毛は初めてでした。
個人的に時間配分は丁度でした。
(パイナップルパークは少し長かったかも)
消毒液が至る所にあり安心しました。
宿泊してたホテルにてピックアップ、帰りは目的のホテルまで送ってくれたのが良かったです。
複数のホテルに泊まり、観光もできて移動も兼ねられたので最高でした。

It was cold because it was snowing, but the winter scenery of Shirakawa-go was very picturesque and beautiful. The schedule was also relaxed, making it easy to participate, which was great.

雪が降っていたので寒かったですが、冬景色の白川郷はとても風情があり綺麗でした。また無理のないタイムスケジュールなので気軽に参加でき良かったです。

We participated as a three-generation family. Thanks to the GO TO Travel program, it was quite a bargain. The only downside was the weather, which was mostly cloudy with light rain, but we had a satisfying five hours thanks to the male guide's clear and enjoyable talk. With live performances of the sanshin and singing, we really felt like we were in Ishigaki, and we were able to efficiently tour around Ishigaki.

親子３代で参加しました。GO TOトラベルのおかげで、だいぶお得でした。
お天気だけが残念で曇りと小雨がほとんどでしたが、男性ガイドさんのわかりやすく楽しいトークで満足な５時間でした。
三線の生演奏に生歌付きで、「石垣に来てる～」という実感もわき、効率よく石垣周遊ができました。

It was quite different from what I had imagined. I had a more peaceful image, but it was heavily commercialized as a tourist destination. I had longed to visit Shirakawa-go, but I wasn't particularly moved. The timing might not have been great; perhaps spring, summer, or mid-winter would have been better. For lunch, the meat was a bit sparse, and it might have been less than a standard hotel breakfast set. However, I could get a refill on rice. While there were some insights from the bus tour's commentary, it didn't meet the expectations set by the reviews. Rather, I was impressed by how kind the bus driver was.

イメージしていたのとはだいぶ違いました。もっとのどかなイメージでしたがかなり観光地化されておりました。念願の白川郷でしたが感動は今ひとつ。時期も悪かったのかもしれません。春や夏、真冬が良かったかもしれません。昼ごはんはお肉もかっさりだし、標準的ホテルの朝ごはんセットより少ないかもしれません。でもご飯のおかわりはできました。バスツアーのトークで得るものはあったものの、レビューを見て期待するような内容ではありませんでした。むしろバスの運転手さんが優しかったのが印象的でした。

I found this tour while looking for a bus from Kanazawa to Shirakawa-go and decided to participate. There was plenty of time to explore Shirakawa-go, and the lunch was more luxurious than I had imagined. I had forgotten to apply for Go to, but the staff assisted me and made the adjustment later. We disbanded in the early afternoon, and I was able to enjoy sightseeing in Kanazawa afterward, making for a very fulfilling day. I highly recommend this for those who feel that just visiting Kanazawa is not enough.

金沢から、白川郷へのバスを探している際にこのツアーを見つけ参加させていただきました。白川郷では十分に見学の時間があり、昼食も想像より豪華な料理を食べることができました。Go toの申し込みを失念していたのですが、スタッフの方が対応してくださり後日適応していただきました。昼過ぎには解散となり、その後も金沢の市内観光を楽しむことができ、非常に充実した1日を過ごせました。金沢観光だけでは物足りないと感じた方には是非お勧めします。

Although the timing was a bit delayed, I had a great trip during the COVID-19 pandemic. The bus had good infection control measures in place, and the places I visited were less crowded than I expected! The cost performance was excellent.

時期としては少し後ろにズレてしまいましたがコロナ禍では良い旅行が出来ました。
バスの感染対策も出来ていましたし、訪問先各地が思った以上に混んでいませんでした！
コスパ最高でした。

I went to Okinawa for the first time! Since I was scared to drive a rental car, I booked a hotel on Kokusai Street, which is easily accessible by the Yui Rail. But it was definitely the right choice to join this tour to visit the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium! Plus, due to COVID-19 measures, the number of participants was smaller. We participated as a pair, but I had two seats to myself. The tour guide was kind, and the atmosphere felt very homey.

It was my first time at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, and three hours was enough to enjoy it. The Agu pork bowl I had at the restaurant was delicious! I also used the regional common coupon to buy a large whale shark plush toy for my child.

Although the travel time was long, the view of the beautiful ocean was enjoyable! I ended up sleeping soundly on the way back.

初めて沖縄に行きました！レンタカーは運転怖いので、ホテルをゆいレールでアクセスのいい国際通りで予約しました。でもやっぱり行きたい美ら海水族館はこのツアーで正解でした！しかも今はコロナ対策で人数も少なめ。2人で参加しましたが1人で2シート広々使いました。添乗員さんも優しくアットホームな感じのツアーでよかったです。
美ら海水族館初めてでしたが3時間で十分楽しめます。レストランで食べたアグー豚丼美味しかったです！地域共通クーポンも使って子供がデカいジンベイザメのぬいぐるみ買ってました。
移動時間も長かったですが、眺めも海が綺麗で楽しめました！帰りは爆睡ですが。

Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium was great, but I really enjoyed walking around the park. On Kouri Island, the souvenir shop staff provided many samples and recommended great souvenirs, which was wonderful.

海洋博公園は、美ら海水族館もよかったですが、公園内の散策がよかった。
古宇利島は、お土産屋さんの店員さんが、たくさんの試食と、お勧めのお土産を教えていただきよかった。

I was very anxious about my first trekking experience, which was a round trip of 10 hours, but I'm glad I chose a guided tour! It was a tough journey, but I managed to reach Jomon Sugi safely, and the sense of accomplishment felt great♪ Thank you for the valuable experience!＼(^o^)／

初めてのトレッキングで往復10時間という事でとても不安でしたがガイドさん付きのツアーにしてよかったと思いました！ハードな道のりでしたがなんとか無事縄文杉までたどり着き達成感が気持ちよかったです♪貴重な体験をありがとうございました＼(^o^)／

The lunch was delicious, and the little gifts were all tasty as well. We were able to enjoy the sightseeing at a leisurely pace and fully experience the northern region. It was a very good experience.
I think our tour guide, Yoshimura, had a lot of challenges with many unexpected events. Thank you for your hard work. You took many photos for us, and it became a memorable trip. Thank you very much.

昼食も美味しく、ちょっぴりプレゼントもどれもおいしかったです。観光地もゆったりみれ、北部満喫できました。とても良い内容でした。
添乗員の吉村さん、たくさんハプニングがあり大変だったと思います。お疲れ様でした。たくさん写真とっていただいたり、思い出にのこる旅になりました。ありがとうございます。

Thank you for taking me to the sightseeing spots. The bus guide was very kind and made the experience enjoyable by sharing detailed information about Okinawa, sometimes even singing. The steak was delicious too.

名所に連れて行って頂きありがとうございました。バスガイドさんも凄く親切で沖縄の事を詳しく楽しく時には歌が入りと楽しく過ごさせていただきました。ステーキも美味しかったですよ。

I was very pleased to be able to visit spots and experience things that I wouldn't have known about on my own. Additionally, I was able to learn more about the characteristics of the area based on the guide's stories.

自分一人では知りえないスポットや体験することが出来て非常に良かったです。またガイドさんの話をもとにその地域の特色をより学ぶことが出来ました。

The snowfall was incredible, and walking through the snow was challenging, but I had a great time efficiently visiting the white Shirakawa-go and Hida Takayama. Next time, I think I will visit during a warmer and more walkable season.

降雪がすごくて雪の中を歩くのが大変でしたが、雪の白川郷と飛騨高山を効率よく訪問することができて楽しかったです。次回は暖かくて歩きやすい季節に訪問してみようと思います。

You can efficiently visit the tourist spots on Ishigaki Island. It's especially recommended for beginners to Ishigaki Island. The weather on the day of participation wasn't very good, but you can enjoy it regardless of the weather. The meals were delicious and served in a place with a great view.

石垣島の観光地を効率よく廻れる。特に石垣島ビギナーの方にはおすすめ。参加当日の天気はあまり良くなかったが。天候に関係なく楽しめる。食事も眺めの良い場所で美味しかった。

Although it was out of season, we thoroughly enjoyed the wonderful scenery. The guide's insider information was fantastic, and we had a great time. Both my spouse and I would love to come back if we have the chance.

季節外れとは言え,素晴らしい景色を満喫させて頂きました。ガイドさんの穴場情報も素晴らしく,楽しい時間を過ごさせて頂きました。夫婦ともに機会が有ればまた来たいと思います。

When I arrived, the weather was bad and my mood was at its lowest, but I had the most fun! It was really enjoyable to learn about the shooting spots and behind-the-scenes stories! It became the best day ever. If I have the chance again, I would love to participate! Thank you very much!

到着時は天気が悪くて気分は最低でしたが一番楽しめましたよ❗️
撮影スポットや裏話など教えて頂きましてとても楽しかったです‼️今までで最高の最高な一日になりました
また機会がありましたら参加したいと思います❗️ありがとうございましたありがとう

We participated in a day trip bus tour as a couple. The veteran tour guide's explanations were easy to understand and enjoyable. It took about 1 hour and 15 minutes from Kanazawa to Shirakawa-go. The access from Kanazawa is good. We walked to the photo spot recommended by the guide. Indeed, there were few people, and it was a great angle without any distractions. I was worried that the stay time might be too short, but it turned out to be just right. The rice cracker grilling experience on the way back honestly felt unnecessary. I think it would be better to have some activities in Shirakawa-go.

日帰りバスツアーに夫婦で参加しました。
ベテランの添乗員さんのお話はわかりやすく
楽しかったです。
金沢から白川郷まで１時間15分ほど。
金沢からのアクセスはいいのですね。
添乗員さんオススメの写真撮影ポイントまで歩いて行ってみました。
確かに、人も少なく余計なものが入らず
いいアングルです。
滞在時間も行く前は少ないかな…と心配しましたが、ちょうど良かったですね。
帰路のお煎餅焼き体験は、
正直なくてもよかったと思います。
白川郷で、なにかアクティビティーがある方がいいかと思います。

I started at the thousand torii gates of Fushimi Inari by taking the train and then went to Kiyomizu-dera, where I was very pleased to see the newly replaced floors. It was a bit disappointing that the kanji character representing this year's social situation was scheduled to be revealed three days later. From there, I went to Ryōan-ji, but there were only garden stones, and I ended up with too much free time. Then I went to Arashiyama, crossed the Togetsukyo Bridge, and enjoyed some street food before concluding the day. We then parted ways, and I received a guide map for JR Saga-Arashiyama Station. The route was a bit confusing because the JR Saga-Arashiyama Station was located within a residential area, so I got a little lost.

電車に乗ってで伏見稲荷の千本鳥居からスタート⛩し清水寺へ行き新しく張り替えられた床を見れたのがとても良かったです。3日後には今年の世相を表す漢字一文字が披露される予定でしたので少し残念でした。そこから龍安寺に行きましたが庭石しか無く時間が持て余してしまいました、そして嵐山に行き、渡月橋を渡り出店で食べ歩きをして終了、そこで各自解散となりJR佐賀嵐山駅の案内地図をいただき帰るようなコースでしたが、住宅地の中にあったのでJR駅の嵯峨嵐山駅がなかなか分かりづらいところにあったので少し迷いました。

I visited Kohama Island separately, so I went on a tour of three islands. The hotel provided transportation, and the tour was well-organized and fulfilling. I enjoyed my free time on both Yubu Island and Taketomi Island.

小浜島は別でいったので、3島巡りにしました。
ホテルからの送迎付きで、内容も充実していて良かったです。
由布島も、竹富島も、自由時間があり満喫できました。

The crowded bus travel was expected. Each area was busy, but it was indeed the case. I didn't have enough time in Arashiyama.

バス移動で混雑したのは想定内でした。
各地域もこんでいたがやっぱりでした。
嵐山は時間が足らなかった。

In just under two hours from Kanazawa, I encountered a tranquil landscape. I was able to leisurely enjoy my stroll. The meals weren't large in quantity, but I thought they were great with the mountain delicacies. The well-known area with three gassho-zukuri houses was a bit of a distance from the bus stop, but I dashed over to take some photos.

金沢から2時間弱でのどかな風景に出会えました。
散策ものんびり楽しく過ごせました。
食事も量は多くはありませんでしたが、山の幸で良かったと思います。
よく見る合掌作りの3軒並びの場所は、バスの停留所からは少し距離がありましてが、ダッシュで行って写真を撮りました。

I heard that he was the only male guide from Higashi Bus, and he was also skilled at playing the sanshin, so I really enjoyed listening to various songs. I participated in a paid glass-bottom boat tour at Kabira Bay, and it seems that there is a nearby Ōmotō Sake Brewery, which would also be enjoyable to visit. Depending on the weather, the clarity of the water's surface may change, so it might be a good idea to skip the glass-bottom boat and visit the black pearl store or the Ōmotō Sake Brewery instead. Given the season, the weather wasn't great, and I honestly felt that the clarity wasn't very high. However, I was satisfied because I was lucky enough to see a sea turtle.

On the way back, I didn't get off at the airport since I was on the evening Peach flight, but I had no explanation about the mangrove forest at Miyara River, so I had no idea where it was. Mangroves themselves are not particularly rare in Yaeyama, so there might not be much to explain. I might not use this service again, but if it's your first time in Ishigaki Island, I think it's a tour you can't go wrong with.

東バス唯一の男性ガイドさんということでしたが、三線もお上手でいろいろ歌を聴かせていただきとても楽しめました。
川平湾でわたしは有料のグラスボートに参加したのですが、近くに於茂登酒造があるようでそこを見学しても楽しめたようです。天気によっては水面の透明度など変わってくると思うので、天気の状況によってグラスボートに参加せず黒真珠の店舗をみたり於茂登酒造を見学してもいいのかもしれません。時節柄もあって天候がよくなく透明度は正直それほど高くなかったように感じました。ウミガメは運よく？みられたので満足はしましたが。
帰りは夕方のピーチ便利用だったので空港では下車しませんでしたが、宮良川のヒルギ林については説明もなくどこだかまったくわかりませんでした。マングローブ自体は八重山では珍しいものでもないので特に説明することもないのかもしれませんが…
二度は利用しないかもしれないけど、石垣島が初めてであれば利用してみて間違いのないツアーだと思います。

I was looking for a tour that would allow us to take our one-year-old and enjoy sightseeing at a leisurely pace. Perhaps due to the impact of COVID-19, the bus and water buffalo cart were private, allowing just our family to enjoy the experience. This was my second visit to Kaiji Beach, but I remember it being more beautiful with more star sand when I visited over a decade ago. We were able to leisurely admire the houses and scenery of Taketomi Island, spend our time slowly, and create wonderful memories as a family.

1歳児連れての観光なので、なるべくゆっくり観光できるツアーを探していました。コロナの影響もあってかバス、水牛車は貸切で、私たち家族だけで楽しむことができました。カイジ浜は2度目でしたが、十数年前に訪れた時の方がもっと星の砂があって綺麗な印象でした。竹富島の家や風景をのんびり見られて、ゆっくり過ごせて、家族のいい思い出ができました。

I participated with my child. The stories were enjoyable, and there were plenty of highlights. We had a great time throughout the bus ride, making rice crackers, and visiting Shirakawa-go. If there is another opportunity, I would appreciate it.

母子で参加させて戴きました。
お話も楽しく、見所も満載でバスの中もおせんべい作りも白川郷も終始楽しく過ごすことができました。
また機会がありましたらお願いいたします。

I'm nearly 70 years old, and I was worried, but the guide encouraged me, and it was enjoyable. For lunch, they made miso soup with natural water, and it was very delicious.

70 才にちかいのですが、心配でしたがガイドさんに励まされそして楽しくそして昼食では天然水で味噌汁を作っていただき大変美味しかっです。

The weather was wonderful, and I enjoyed the nature and beautiful scenery of Okinawa. The guide was amazing, and together with the driver, I was impressed by their professionalism. The sightseeing bus, which efficiently takes you around, is perfect for those who are not good at driving or for the elderly. When I come back, I definitely want to try a different course. I appreciate the service spirit of the people of Okinawa.

お天気にも恵まれて、沖縄の自然や美しい景色を堪能しました。
ガイドさんはとても素晴らしく、ドライバーさん共々、さすがプロだなぁと感心しました。
短い滞在でも、効率よく回ってくれる観光バスは運転が苦手な方や高齢者には最高です。
また来た時は、違うコースをぜひ体験してみたいと思います。
沖縄の人のサービス精神に感謝。

The tour guide was interesting and shared a lot of informative stories, which made it enjoyable! It's a shame it rained!

ツアーのガイドさんも面白くとてもためになる話を沢山していただいてたのしかったです！
雨だったのが残念でした！

We toured the island in a counterclockwise direction with a dedicated guide driving us. The guide's explanations were accurate and fascinating, and we could change our destinations based on our preferences. We visited the tea fields in Yakushima, which is geographically the first place to ship "new tea," and also stopped by the Morikyu Shrine, where the fallen Heike warriors are enshrined. We saw the couple Aokou trees, whose roots are intertwined, and visited the Yakushima Lighthouse, which is inaccessible by bus. We also enjoyed the Hirauchi Seacoast Onsen, where bathing is allowed without underwear, as it springs from the sea. I was very satisfied with the experience.

専属のガイドさんの運転で、反時計回りで、島内観光をしました。ガイドさんの説明が的確で興味深く、行く場所も希望で変更出来ました。地理的に一番早く「新茶」が出荷できる屋久島の茶畑に立ち寄ったり、平家の落人が祀られている盛久神社、境内に２本のアコウの根と根が絡み合い合体している夫婦アコウを観光したり、バスでは行けない屋久島灯台、下着厳禁で入浴可能な、海の中から湧き出ている平内海中温泉も観光しました、大満足でした。

The weather on the day was relatively good compared to the past few days, and even in winter, it was comfortable for a solo traveler to visit each island. Since it was my first time, I think it would have been better to have a bit more guidance and support on each island. It was also nice to receive the Go To regional coupons during the COVID-19 pandemic.

当日はここ数日のなかで比較的に天気が良くて、冬場でも北の一人旅人には快適に各島回れました。
初めてなので、もう少し各島での案内サポートがあれば良かったと思います。コロナ禍でGo To地域クーポンが貰えたのも良かった。

It seems that the tour content has been renewed. For me, it was my first time in northern Okinawa. The weather was slightly rainy. I was a bit anxious about walking in the forest, but it turned out to be more enjoyable than I had imagined!

We were picked up at 7:30 AM in front of the prefectural office and took a bus for about two hours to our first destination. The seating arrangement on the bus was spacious, and I felt that there was consideration for COVID-19 measures.

I believe the biggest attraction of this tour is the Daisekirinzan. We were given an hour and a half for free exploration, which was really fulfilling. Of course, walking in nature can be challenging due to roots and muddy areas. A distance of 1 km that could be walked in 15 minutes on flat ground took twice as long, as per the guide's advice. However, during the free exploration time, the guide provided markers at key points, giving us time estimates and knowledge, which allowed us to proceed with confidence.

And the scenery was beautiful. The light filtering through the trees, glimpses of the coastline, and distant islands created a sense of liberation that made me want to stretch up high.

As for the return trip, it depends on traffic conditions, but I think it's good to plan for around 6:30 PM. It was a day filled with wonderful memories.

リニューアルされたらしいツアー内容だったそうです。
私にとって、初の沖縄北部。若干小雨のコンディション。
森歩きに不安はありましたが、想像以上に楽しかったです！

朝7時半の県庁前からのピックアップでバスに乗り、
約2時間で最初の目的地までの道のり...
バスの中は、十分に余裕を持った席配置で、
コロナ対策への配慮がされていると感じました。

このツアーの一番の魅力は、大石林山だと思います。
今回、自由散策1時間半の時間をとってもらって、すごく満喫できました。
もちろん、自然の中を歩くので、根っこやぬかるみなど、歩きにくい。
平地なら15分で歩ける1Kmが、添乗員さんのアドバイス通り、倍の時間が掛かります。でも、自由散策時間でも、添乗員さんがポイントポイントで道標してくださって、時間の目安や知識を教えてくれたので、安心して行程を進むことができました。
そして、目に映る景色、光景が美しいこと。
木々の間から差し込む光や、垣間見える海岸、遠くに見える島など、思わず背伸びしてしまう解放感がここにありました。

帰りは渋滞具合によりますが、18:30くらいを目安に予定を立てれば良いと思います。
楽しい思い出ができた一日でした。
