All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

There were about 30 participants despite the COVID-19 pandemic. The tour itself was neither particularly good nor bad, and honestly, aside from the Churaumi Aquarium and American Village, it was a bit lacking. At the Churaumi Aquarium, you have two and a half hours, but since you need to have a meal there, if you're planning to use a restaurant, it's better to think of your actual viewing time as just one hour. I had planned to shop at American Village, but since time was tight, I think it's best to research the stores you want to visit beforehand.

コロナ禍の中でしたが３０名程の参加者がいました。ツアー自体は可もなく不可もなくといった内容で美ら海水族館とアメリカンヴィレッジ以外は正直…でした。美ら海水族館は２時間半時間がありますが、ここで食事を取る必要があるので、レストラン利用をする方は観覧時間は実質１時間だと考えていた方が良いです。アメリカンヴィレッジでの買い物を予定していたのですが、時間がタイトなので予め目的の店を調べてから行くべきだと思いました。

ただ、ただ一度 白川郷の合掌集落がみたくて申し込みました。ちょうど紅葉も色づきはじめ
gotoキャンペーンの割引もあり色々な面で
最高の旅でした。お昼のお食事も美味しかったです。お食事処裏手の紅葉と川の景観が素晴らしかったです。また、冬の白川郷も観たいです。

I was nervous about my first solo trip to Okinawa, but both the guide and the driver were very friendly, which made me feel at ease. I was able to visit many major tourist spots, making it a meaningful day.

初めての沖縄1人旅で緊張しましたが、ガイドさんも運転手さんもとってもフレンドリーで安心しました。主要な観光地をどんどん周ることができて有意義な1日でした。

I was worried about whether I could climb, but the guide kept us entertained, and I was able to safely complete the ascent and descent. I've always wanted to climb at least once in my life, so I'm glad I did. As for my outfit, I regret wearing plain clothes since colorful outfits look better in photos.

登れるか心配でしたが、ガイドさんが楽しませてくださり、最後まで無事に登山・下山できました。人生に一度は登りたいと思っていので、登れてよかったです。服装は、カラフルな服装のほうが、写真映えがするので、地味な服装で挑んだことが心残りでした。

This was my third visit to Shirakawa-go, but it was my first experience with a bus tour, and the guide's stories were meaningful and enjoyable. They also introduced us to delicious restaurants in front of Kanazawa Station, and since I made a reservation from the bus, I was able to enter without any issues. It was at a grandpa and grandma's shop, and it was cheap and very tasty.

白川郷は3回目の訪問でしたが、バスツアーは初体験であり、ガイドさんのお話が有意義で楽しく過ごせました。金沢駅前の美味しい飲食店もご紹介いただき、バス内から予約したため無事に入店する事ができました。おじいちゃん。おばあちゃんのお店で、安くてとても美味しかったです。

I felt that it took a long time to reach the main aquarium. I think the time spent at Kouri Island and Pineapple Park could be cut in half. I would like to have more time at the aquarium instead. It's about a 15-minute walk from the parking lot, and the return trip is particularly uphill, so we need to allocate our time accordingly. I hope you can consider this, especially with an increasing number of elderly participants.

メインの水族館にたどり着くまでが長いと感じました。古宇利島やパイナップルパークの滞在時間は半分に削っても十分だと思います。その分水族館での滞在時間を延ばしていただきたい。駐車場から徒歩で15分程、帰りは特に上り坂なのでそれなりの余裕をもって時間配分をしなければならず、御年配の参加者も増える中ご配慮いただければと思いました。

This is a reasonable tour that allows you to efficiently visit all the sightseeing spots on Ishigaki Island. The lunch is delicious and made with local ingredients from Ishigaki Island, making it the best tour for those who do not use rental cars. I would like to point out to Veltra that the notification for using the regional common coupon arrived at 6:59 PM on the day of the tour, which is too late as souvenir shops on Ishigaki Island close around that time, so I was unable to use it. Other places had contacted me by check-in time, so I request an improvement and would like to know the reason for the delay in communication.

効率よく、石垣島全体の観光スポット回ることができるリーズナブルなツアーです。昼食も石垣島の食材を使った美味しい昼食で、レンタカーを使わない人には一番いいツアーでおすすめです。ベルトラにひとつご指摘、地域共通クーポンの使用のお知らせが当日の18時５９分にきており、この時間だと石垣島のお土産屋など閉まる時間なので使用できませんでした。他のところはチェックインの時間には連絡が来ていたので、改善を求めます、連絡がこんなに遅くなった原因を教えてください。

It was great that people of all ages could participate in the tour, as I was able to talk with various people during the travel. I didn't properly check that the courses were different in the morning and afternoon, so I wonder if it would have been better to go in the morning...

老若男女で参加できるツアーなので移動中とかもいろんな方と話ができるのでよかった。午前と午後でコースが違うことをちゃんと調べてなかったので、出来れば午前中のほうがよかったかなとも。。。

I was wondering if it was a tour with a dedicated guide, but it turned out to be a tour where staff members were at each point, managing the itinerary while checking tickets. Yufu Island was great. On Taketomi Island, there was hardly any free time after riding the glass-bottom boat and the water buffalo cart, so I plan to visit again on my own later!

添乗員が付き切りのツアーかな？と思っていたら、各ポイントにスタッフがいてチケットを切りながら行程を進めていくツアーでした。由布島が良かったです。竹富島はグラスボートと水牛車に乗ると自由時間はほとんどなく、また後日個人で行こうと思ってます！

I wanted to see Manza Beach in the bright morning, so I chose this place. At the pineapple farm, there were moving dinosaurs, which was surprisingly enjoyable. On Kouri Island, sandwiches were distributed, and since I was hungry, I enjoyed them very much. Churaumi Aquarium, by the way, has the parking lot at the highest point, and the slopes are wide, so I got tired from walking. I think the COVID-19 prevention measures were thorough.

万座毛を明るい午前中に見たくて、こちらを選びました。パイナップル農園では、動く恐竜が 居て意外に楽しめました。古宇利島でサンドイッチが配れて、空きっ腹でしたから、美味しくいただきました。美ら海は、とにかく、駐車場が一番高い場所にあり、坂道で広いので歩き疲れました。コロナ予防対策は万全だったと思います。

I participated in this bus tour. We gathered at Kyoto Station and took a train to Fushimi Inari, where we suddenly had free time. I didn't see the point of moving as a group; I wondered what the difference was from going on my own to pay my respects and then getting on the bus. On the way back, we were given train tickets, and when we got off the bus in Arashiyama, it felt like we were essentially dismissed. I question whether it's appropriate to charge for this as a tour.

バスツアーという事で参加しました。行きは京都駅集合、電車で伏見稲荷へ向かいいきなり自由時間。自分で行って参拝後にバスに乗せてもらうのと何が違うのか。集団で移動する意味を感じませんでした。帰りも電車の切符を渡され嵐山でバスを降りた時点で実質解散、これをツアーとして料金を取るのはどうかと思います。

I had a great time and it was very enjoyable.
It started with the tour guide's cheerful greeting at the meeting point, Kanazawa Station, and there was no waste in the announcements on the bus.
The recommended photo spots and souvenir information for Shirakawa-go were very helpful. At the souvenir shop in Shirakawa-go, I was able to buy the shiso monaka at a 30% discount with electronic payment.
In Takayama, there was also a 20% cashback campaign with Merpay, so I was glad to shop at a good price again.
If I have the chance to go again, I would like to participate.
Thank you!

効率よく楽しめてとても良かったです。
集合場所の金沢駅から添乗員さんの終始にこやかな挨拶から始まり、バス内では案内など無駄がなかったです。
白川郷のおすすめ撮影スポットやお土産情報はためになりました。白川郷のお土産店では電子決済だと3割引だったので紫蘇最中をお得に買えました。
高山でも今メルペイで2割還元CPをやってたのでまたお得にお買い物ができて良かったです。
また行くことがあれば参加したいなと思いました。
ありがとうございました！

First of all, I was prepared for the rain, but I was fortunate with the weather. I thought it would be dull to walk alone in a solo trip, so I signed up for a local tour to hear various stories from the area. To my surprise, I had a great guide (a resident from Tochigi) which made the round trip of 10 hours enjoyable (though a bit tough), and I was able to fully appreciate the deep nature leading to Jomon Sugi.

まずは、雨は覚悟の上だったが天候に恵まれた。ひとり旅で黙々と歩くのも味気ないと思い、色々な現地話も聞きたいと現地ツアーに申込んだが、思いのほかいいガイドさん（栃木出身移住者）で往復の10時間が楽しく（少々辛く）、縄文杉までの奥自然が堪能できました。

The gentle demeanor and soft-spoken nature of the tour guide, along with the considerate atmosphere that didn't tire us out, were great. I hope to enjoy Shirakawa-go in winter with the same tour guide next time.

添乗員さんの物腰やわらかい話し方や
聞き疲れする事ない空間などの配慮が
良かったです。
同じ添乗員さんで
今度は冬の白川郷を満喫出来たらと
思ってます

I thought 10 hours would be long, but it went by in a flash. In the morning, I walked quietly in the dark and didn't know where I was going, but on the way back, I got to see some wonderful scenery. I was overwhelmed by the Great Cedar and Jomon Cedar, and it was very healing!

10時間は長いなと思いましたが、あっという間でした。
朝は真っ暗な中を黙々と、どこを歩いていたのかわからなかったですが、復路では素敵な景色を見れました。
大王杉・縄文杉に圧倒されましたし、とても癒されました！

Overall, it was good, but the departure of the boat from Iriomote Island to Taketomi Island was delayed by about 15 minutes because one of the participants missed the bus, which was disappointing as there was hardly any time for sightseeing on Iriomote Island. Such things can happen, so I recommend choosing a plan that allows for a departure on the 5:00 PM boat from Iriomote Island. Personally, I think it would be nice to go to Hoshi no Suna Beach by bus tour or by bicycle, so a combination of an ox cart and bike rental seems like a good option.

総じて良かったですが、西表島から竹富島への船の出発が、参加者の中でバスに乗り遅れた方がいらっしゃったため15分ほど遅れ、西表島のバス観光がほとんど時間が取れなかったのが残念でした。こういう事は起こり得るので、西表島の出発は17:00の船を選択できるプランをお勧めします。個人的にはバスツアーで行く星の砂のビーチも自転車で行くこともできるので、牛車＋レンタサイクルが良さそうです。

The guide's talk was enjoyable, and there was plenty of free time, which was great. I felt that Veltra was very kind for refunding the unused coupon.

ガイドさんのお話は楽しく、自由時間もたっぷりあり良かったです。
ベルトラさんにはクーポンの使い忘れを返金してもらい、とても親切だと感じました。

Both the tour guide and the driver were very kind and it was a lot of fun!!
In Kyoto, the temples are quite far apart, so I recommend this kind of bus tour (*＾＾*)
I was very satisfied because I could also hear interesting trivia from the tour guide!

添乗員さん、運転手さん共にとっても親切で楽しかったです！！
京都はひとつひとつのお寺が遠いのでこういったバスツアーがおすすめです(*＾＾*)
添乗員さんの雑学も聞けるので大満足です！

We were blessed with great weather and enjoyed the stunning view from Taiko Rock. When we arrived at Jomon Sugi, it was almost like we had the place to ourselves, and we could take as many photos as we wanted! We were able to take our time and really appreciate its beauty. Our guide, Kodama, was perfect from course selection to guidance along the way and pacing! We took many wonderful photos, making it a memorable day. The other participants were also very calm and kind, making it truly the best experience. Thank you very much.

お天気に恵まれて太鼓岩からの絶景が楽しめました。縄文杉の到着時にはほぼ貸切状態で、写真も撮り放題！ゆっくりその姿を見ることが出来ました。ガイドのこだまさんはコース選択から途中の案内、ペース配分まで終始完璧でした！素晴らしい写真もたくさん撮って頂き、思い出に残る一日となりました。一緒に参加されたメンバーもとても穏やかでいい方達で、本当に最高の経験をさせて頂きました。ありがとうございました。

There were two courses to choose from, and I was torn, but I decided to participate in the Nago Pineapple Course.

Of course, the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium is great, and it's wonderful that you can easily visit various spots in Okinawa.

I had rented a car, so I could have gone on my own, but when in Okinawa, you have to have Orion Beer!

With a beer in hand, I enjoyed it! It wasn't excessive, but it was nice to have light moments of fun at key points.

Even with COVID-19 precautions, they made sure to sanitize every time, which made me feel safe.

Since it was a weekday, the seating was spaced out, which was nice.

At the snack castle along the way, you don't have to buy a lot since there are many locations throughout Okinawa, so no worries (laughs). However, there are some items that are only available locally, so I made sure to look carefully before purchasing.

It was really great.

コースが二つあって、悩みましたが、とりあえず名護パイナップルコースで参加。

美海水族館は、もちろんのこと、さまざまな沖縄のスポットに気軽に行けるのはありがたいです。

レンタカーも借りていたので、そのまま自分で行く手もありましたが、やっぱり沖縄来たら、オリオンビールでしょ！

ビール片手に高々と！て、ガバガバではないですが、要所要所で軽く行ける楽しみがあって良かったです。

コロナ関係にあっても、消毒はもちろん毎度していただき、安心しました。

平日だったのもあってか、席も空けてあって良かったです。

途中のお菓子御殿での買い物は、バカ買いしなくても、沖縄各所にあるので、ご安心を（笑）
けど、現地しかない物もあるので、よく見て購入しました。

本当によかったです。

I was a bit worried about the tour due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but it was carried out with a small group, and we were able to relax comfortably during the journey.

Of course, Asahikawa Zoo was great.

I had no interest in paintings at all, but I was pleasantly surprised by Professor Goto's museum. Additionally, we had lunch at the restaurant in a location that felt like we were looking at a landscape painting. It was very delicious and truly enriched my heart.

In the morning, I selfishly asked if we could stop by to see the illuminations on the way back, and the bus driver kindly remembered my request. We were able to enjoy the beautiful illuminations from the warm bus.

Thank you very much. Thanks to you, I had a very satisfying trip to Hokkaido. And I truly appreciate the long-distance driving.

コロナ禍でツアーは少々心配でしたが
少人数でも決行してくださり
移動中も車中ではゆったり過ごせました。

旭川動物園はもちろん、

全く絵画には興味がなかったのですが

後藤先生の美術館が思いのほか素晴らしく
また、同レストランで

大変美味しくすごく心が豊かになりました。

朝、帰りイルミネーションをみたいから
可能であればそちらを回って欲しいと

暖かい車中から綺麗なイルミネーションを見ることも
出来ました。


本当にありがとうございました
お陰で大満足の北海道旅行でした。
そして、長距離の運転本当にお疲れ様でした。

I participated in the Iriomote Island and Yufu Island tour organized by Ishigaki Island Dream Tourism through Veltra. Using the Go To Travel campaign, the cost for two people was 22,800 yen with a 35% discount, plus a 3,000 yen regional coupon, making it truly affordable. The tour included a mangrove cruise on the Nakama River, a water buffalo cart ride, and lunch (bento), and I was very satisfied with the experience.

ベルトラを通して石垣島ドリーム観光主催の西表島由布島2島観光N0コースに参加、goto使い2人で22800円が35パーセント引き、さらに地域クーポンが3000円付き本当に格安で参加できた。内容も仲間川マングローブクルーズ、水牛での水牛車観光、昼食(弁当)もついて大満足でした。

I visited Okinawa for the first time and participated in this tour. It covers various attractions, but the time spent at each location is short, so there isn't enough time to really look around or shop. I thought it would be better not to have high expectations for Ryukyu Village, as it seemed quite run down.

初めて沖縄に行き、こちらのツアーに参加しました。満遍なく名所を回れますが、滞在時間が短くじっくり見ることも買い物する時間もありません。琉球村はかなり廃れていたので期待しない方がいいなと思いました。

Due to the limited departure times for buses, I found this day trip that allows you to visit both Noboribetsu and Lake Toya in one day. We were able to visit many places, including the Lake Toya Observatory, Showa Shinzan, Noboribetsu Date Jidaimura, and Noboribetsu Hell Valley. The time spent at each location was just right—not too short and not too long. We arrived at Date Jidaimura just in time for the must-see ninja show, along with a haunted house, maze, and yokai house, which perfectly aligned with our meeting time. Since Date Jidaimura is not very large, the timing was appropriate.

The tour guide also explained the recommended highlights of each location and the best routes to take within the time frame. When I mentioned I needed to use the restroom on the way back, the driver kindly stopped at a convenience store and waited for us.

There were only four participants when I went, so we had plenty of space on the bus, which could seat around twenty people. I had a fun and fulfilling trip. Thank you!

バスだと出発時間が少なく、一日で登別と洞爺湖を回れるないので、一日で回れる日帰り旅行を探したところこちらに辿りつきました。
洞爺湖展望台、昭和新山、登別時代村、登別地獄谷と多くの場所を回れました。それぞれの場所の滞在時間も適切で、短過ぎず長過ぎず、ちょうど良い感じでした。時代村ではちょうど忍者ショーを観れる時間帯に着いて、必見の忍者ショー、そしてお化け屋敷、迷路、妖怪小屋ともう一つショーを観ると、ちょうど集合時間でした。そんなに大きくない時代村なので、適切な時間設定でした。
ツアーガイドさんもそれぞれの場所のおすすめ見所、時間内に行ける最適路線を説明してくださいました。帰りにトイレに行きたいと言ったら、運転手さんもコンビニに寄って待ってくれていました。
私が行った時は4人しか参加していなかったので、20人台くらいが座られるバスで広々と過ごせました。
楽しく充実な旅を過ごせました。ありがとうございました！

I was able to efficiently visit representative tourist attractions in central Okinawa, starting with the Churaumi Aquarium. Since we spent a long time at the aquarium, it was nice to have a relatively relaxed experience.

美ら海水族館をはじめとする本島中部の代表的な観光施設を効率的に回れました。水族館の滞在時間が長いので、比較的ゆったりと過ごせてとてもよかったです。

The diving was canceled, and I was in a bit of a bind with my suddenly open schedule, but I found a tour that included a stay at a hotel in Yachiyo. It's truly appreciated, especially since most tours depart from Naha or Chatan.

We visited various places, and the guide provided very clear explanations with a touch of humor. The guide's singing was also wonderful.

We had a fulfilling experience at Manza Beach, Pineapple Park, the aquarium, and the Okashi Goten. We even got to see the dolphin show at 3 PM, which was unlike anything I've seen before and incredibly cute.

When I asked the kids what they enjoyed most about the trip, they immediately replied that the tour was the highlight. Thank you very much!

ダイビングが中止になり、
急遽予定があいてしまって困っていましたが、
検索で、谷茶の宿泊ホテルに止まるツアーが一件だけヒット。
那覇や北谷着発が多い中、本当にありがたいです。

色々な場所に行き、
ジョークを交えたとてもわかりやすい説明で、
ガイドさんの歌も素敵でした。

万座毛やパイナップルパーク、水族館に、お菓子御殿と充実していました。
15時からのイルカのショーも見れました、他では見たことがない感じでとても可愛かっです。

子供たちに、旅行で何が楽しかった？と聞くとツアーが楽しかったと即答でした。
本当にありがとうございました。

I participated during the time before boarding the ANA flight to Haneda Airport at 15:35. Although it was cloudy and windy at Kabira Bay, the sea was blue and beautiful. It was great that we could efficiently visit places like Tamatorizaki Observatory.

ANA15:35発の羽田空港行きに搭乗するまでの時間を利用して参加しました。川平湾は曇りで風が強かったですが、海は青くてきれいでした。玉取崎展望台など、効率よく行けたのがよかったです。

The tour started at the Churaumi Aquarium, then we visited Manzamo and American Village. Most participants were with companions, but I was able to occupy a two-person seat by myself (laughs). The guide constantly provided information on the bus, and I had a very enjoyable time looking out the window while listening to the guide (laughs).

I thought two hours at the aquarium might be a bit short, but it was sufficient! We ended with the Okichan Theater, and I found that having Okinawa soba for lunch nearby was just right. Well, the prices were similar to those in the city for a tourist spot, so it might be a good idea to have lunch there since it's close to the bus stop♪

On the other hand, we only had 20 minutes at Manzamo, which made for a rather rushed visit. I think an extra 10 minutes would have been enough... It's a bit disappointing to realize how precious those 10 minutes are in a tour compared to everyday life, and I want to recommend this to solo travelers, so I'm writing this honestly.

Conversely, I also thought that 30 minutes or more would have been nice... (laughs)

This time, I was able to use GOTO, so it was worth more than the price.

Overall, I recommend this tour for solo participants in terms of both value and experience! I was a bit anxious since it was my first tour, but once we arrived at the sightseeing spots, I could explore freely and return within the time limit. For someone traveling alone, including transportation costs, I felt that there’s no more efficient and rewarding trip than this!

Thank you to the bus guide! Thanks to the driver’s safe driving, I was able to comfortably sleep during the one-hour travel time, just as my stomach was satisfied (laughs). Thank you!

美ら海水族館に始まり　万座毛　アメリカンビレッジなど周るツアー
やはり　同伴者の参加がほとんどでしたが
席も2人席を1人締めできたし（笑）
ガイドさんがバスの中で常にガイドしてくれてて
たまに（笑）そのガイドにそりバスの外を眺めながらとても楽しい時間を過ごせました

2時間判の水族館も少ないかな？と思いましたが
充分でした！　
おきちゃん劇場を最後にして
近くで沖縄ソバも昼食で充分かなと
まぁ〜観光地にしては市内と変わらない
金額で食べれたし
昼食取ると良いかもです
そこからバスまち場まですぐなので♪

逆に万座毛が20分しかなく…かなり早歩きでの見学でした　プラス10分あったら充分だったかな…普段の生活の10分と　こー言うツアーでの10分がこんなに貴重なんだとちょっと残念な点も1人旅の方に勧めたいの
で正直に書きます。

逆に30分以上はいいかなとも思ったので…
（笑）

今回はGOTOを利用できたのでお値段以上の価値がありました

総合的にもお値段的にも1人参加の方にお勧めです！
ツアー初参加で不安でしたが…バスを降り観光地に着いたら時間内に戻り自由にみて回れる
1人の場合交通費なども含め
こんな効率良くお得な旅は無いかと思うぐらい
充実できました！

バスガイドさん　ありがとうございました！
運転手さん　安全運転のおかげてちょうどお腹が満たされてた1時間の移動時間　快適に寝れました（笑）
ありがとうございました！

The bus had alcohol available, and they recommended using it for disinfection, but unfortunately, the alcohol was not for sanitizing; it was cleaning alcohol with a low concentration, so I didn't use it and instead used what I brought with me.

バスにはアルコールが備えてあり、消毒を勧められてましたが、そのアルコールは除菌用ではない、洗浄用のアルコールで、濃度も低いものだったので、残念ながら使わず、持参したものを使いました。

I participated from Kencho-mae on November 22. Due to COVID-19 prevention measures, we were seated one person per two-person seat on the large bus, which made me feel safe. The weather was nice and the sea was beautiful! There was traffic on the way from Churaumi Aquarium to Okashi Goten due to the middle of the three-day weekend! Thanks to the quick thinking of our guide and driver, we prioritized the sunset at Manzamo first. Although Okashi Goten was supposed to close at 6 PM, they negotiated to extend it until 6:10 PM, for which I am grateful. The guide from Taiwan was making her debut, but she was cheerful and attentive to the customers, which was very pleasant. We had a full three hours at the aquarium, and it was truly a satisfying tour. Thank you very much.

11/22に県庁前から参加しました。
コロナ感染予防対策で大型バスの2人席に１人ずつの配置で安心でした。お天気もよく海もきれい！三連休のなか日で美ら海水族館から御菓子御殿への道が渋滞！ガイドさんと運転手さんの機転で先に万座毛のサンセットを優先していただきました。御菓子御殿の閉店が18時なのに交渉して18:10まで延ばしていただき感謝です。
台湾からのガイドさんはデビューとのことでしたが、明るく、お客様に寄り添う姿が好感がもてました。水族館もたっぷり3時間あり、本当に大満足のツアーでした。
ありがとうございました。
