All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

It was my first time in Ishigaki Island, so I signed up for an island-hopping tour! I was able to enjoy various modes of transportation like boats, water buffalo carts, buses, and bicycles! Each experience was short, but that's understandable! It was a bit hectic, but I had a great time! The staff were all polite and friendly, which made it very pleasant! Thank you very much!

初めての石垣島だったので、離島巡りをしたくて申し込みました！
船、水牛車、バス、自転車といろいろ乗れて満喫できました！
それぞれの時間は短いですけど仕方ないですね！
せわしなかったけど満喫できました！
スタッフの方も皆さん丁寧で愛想良く気持ちよかったです！
ありがとうございました！

You can easily take a tour around Kururi. The glass boat, which is available for an additional fee, was a bit cheaper at 900 yen. You can also get off at the airport, so it seems like a good option to use on the last day of your trip. The guide shared not only information about tourist spots but also various interesting things about Ishigaki Island, allowing us to learn a lot.

手軽にくるり周遊できます。別料金のグラスボートは少しお安くなって900円でした。空港で下車することもできるので、旅行の最終日に利用するのも良さそう。ガイドさんは観光地だけでなく石垣島のあんなことやこんなことをお話してくださったので、色々なことを知ることができました。

The Jomon Sugi was amazing. While I haven't climbed any of the hundred famous mountains, I've hiked a decent number of mountains, and at 68 years old, it was quite hard.

In the early morning, in the dark, we started walking at a pretty fast pace under our headlamps, and it felt quite intense. Our group consisted of five young men and women in their twenties and us, a couple over 65, making a total of seven people. As we sweated and walked to keep up with the younger ones, we finally reached Jomon Sugi.

On the way back, there were many stairs that put a strain on my knees, but despite that, we managed to reach the finish line. On the way there, our guide took us on a nature observation route that was different from the usual path, allowing us to see a different form of Yakusugi than what is shown in guidebooks, which was fantastic.

The coffee after lunch was a delightful cup for our chilled bodies. I am very grateful to our guide, Mr. Mitsuhashi. I have used VELTRA several times for overseas travel, and once again, it was the right choice.

Next time, I plan to challenge climbing Mount Miyanoura and attempt Jomon Sugi again. When that time comes, I intend to use VELTRA again.

縄文杉、最高でした。百名山までいかないが、そこそこの山を登っているが、68歳にとっては結構ハード。
早朝、暗い中、ヘッドライトのもと、かなりのハイピッチで歩きだし、これは何だとの感じ。グループ構成は20代の男女5人と我々65歳以上の夫婦の計7人。若い者に負けないよう汗をかきかき歩いているうちに縄文杉に到着。帰りは、階段が多く膝に負担がかかるが、ハイピッチにもめげず、どうにかゴールイン。
行きは、ガイドさんが通常ルートとは別の自然観察路コースを歩いてくれたので、ガイドブックとは別の屋久杉の形態を見ることが出来て最高。昼食後のコーヒも寒くなった体には嬉しい一杯でした。ガイド（三橋さん）の方に感謝、感謝。これまで、海外旅行で何回かVELTRAを利用してきましたが、今回もやはり正解でした。
次回は、宮之浦岳への登山挑戦と縄文杉の再挑戦を計画。その時には
、また、VELTRAを利用しようと思っています。

We were blessed with good weather, and the veteran guide's stories, including the changes in Okinawa, were very well done. The sandwiches were delicious as well. It was a very fulfilling day of sightseeing. Thank you very much.

天候に恵まれ、ベテランガイドさんのお話が（沖縄の移り変わり等も入れて....)とてもお上手でした。
サンドウィッチも美味しく頂きました♪。
とても充実した1日観光でした。
有難う御座いました。

The schedule was just perfect. The zoo, the Blue Pond in Biei, lunch, and all-you-can-eat melon were all enjoyable experiences! Since it was late October, the autumn leaves visible along the highway were incredibly beautiful. The cold was quite intense, and it seems that people in Hokkaido don't think it's cold, as they dress lightly and don't seem to use heating anywhere, so it's best to dress warmly! A down jacket was the best choice!

Especially at Asahiyama Zoo, it's mostly outdoors with few buildings to block the wind, so be careful of the strong gusts! The Blue Pond is also quite far by car, and it's too cold to stay outside for long. Walking on the unstable ground for a bit meant we didn't need to stay for more than 10 minutes, so joining the tour was definitely the right choice. The driver was kind and considerate. The melon was surprisingly sweet. All-you-can-eat is quite a bargain! There were also coupons included, so I thought it was a great value!

スケジュールは全てちょうどよかったです。
動物園、美瑛の青い池、お昼＆メロン食べ放題、どれも連れて行っていただけて楽々でした！
10月後半なので、途中高速道路などで見れる紅葉が半端なく綺麗でした。
寒さは半端なく、多分またま北海道の方は寒いと思わないのか薄着＆どこへ行っても暖房付けない様である為、かなり着込んで行った方が良いです！ダウンがベストでした！
特に旭山動物園はほぼ屋外、周りに建物等遮るものが少なく、強風直あたりなので気をつけてください！
青い池も車で遠いし降りても寒すぎるし、地面が不安定なところを少し歩くので、滞在時間10分もいらなくてよかった感じなのでツアーで大正解かと。
ドライバーさんも優しく気遣いのある方でした。
メロンも甘くてびっくりしました。食べ放題だなんてかなりお得！
クーポンもついてるし、コスパ良いと思いました！

The weather was nice, and the driver who guided us was friendly. They walked with us and took us to almost all the places we wanted to go.

お天気もよく　案内してくれた運転手さんも　気さくな方で　いっしょに　歩いてくれたり　おまかせで回りましたが、行きたい所は　ほとんどいってくださいました。

According to the bus guide, compared to last year, there were hardly any international visitors, and it was almost entirely domestic travelers. It was quite empty, so we were able to enjoy the sights comfortably.

Unfortunately, it rained on and off, but there were times when it stopped, and I was able to take a decent number of photos. On the way back, I baked some rice crackers in Toyama, which was also a nice souvenir spot.

In Shirakawa-go, the PayPay discount was applicable, so I was able to buy souvenirs at a lower price. The meat was, of course, delicious, but I also recommend the dumplings. Don't miss out on the doburoku and doburoku soft serve!

バスガイドさんの説明によると昨年と比べて海外の方はほとんどなくなりほぼ国内旅行者。だいぶ空いている状態とのことで、かなり人も少なく快適に観られました。
残念ながら雨が降ったりやんだりでしたが、やんでいる時間帯もあり、写真もそれなりに撮れてよかったです。 帰りに富山でせんべいを焼き帰ってきましたが、お土産ポイントとしてはこちらも良かったです。
白川郷ではPaypayの割引もきいていたので、お土産も安めにかえました。 お肉はもちろん美味しかったですが、お団子もおすすめです。 どぶろくとどぶろくソフトも是非。

I usually don't go mountain climbing, so I joined a tour. I was blessed with a great guide, wonderful tour members, and good weather, making it an enjoyable experience.
We started climbing at 6:20 and finished at 15:40. We took the bus back at 16:00.
There were some people who couldn't reach Jomon Sugi. Preparation is important. I'm really glad I did some climbing before the trip.

普段は山登りしないので、ツアーで行きました。ガイド、ツアーのメンバー、天気、すべてに恵まれ、楽しいツアーとなりました。
6:20登山開始、15:40終了。16:00のバスで帰りました。
縄文杉までたどり着けていない人もいました。事前準備は大事です。旅行前に何度か登山しておいて、本当によかったです。

The local tour company organizing this tour manages the entire vessel, so you won't be mixed with general passengers, and there's no chance of getting lost along the way. The tour progresses smoothly like a conveyor belt, allowing you to see everything efficiently. The guide on Iriomote Island is also very experienced. On the day of my participation, the wind was strong and the weather was a bit poor, so we didn't stay long on Taketomi Island and quickly wrapped up our cycling. However, if you plan to go to the beach with star sand, it's better to allow at least an hour of extra time. The path is made of sand and small stones, making it difficult to ride quickly. Participants varied from solo travelers to families.

このツアーを主催している地元ツアー会社が運航船を丸ごと管理しているので一般客と混載することがなく、途中で迷うこともありません。流れ作業のようにどんどん進みますが、効率的に見て回れます。西表島のガイドさんも手馴れています。参加日は風が強く少々天候が悪かったので竹富島ではあまり長居せずにサイクリングも早々に引き上げて帰りましたが、星の砂のビーチまで行くなら、1時間以上は時間の余裕をみた方がいいです。砂と小石の道なので走行しにくく、スピードは出せません。参加者は、ひとりから家族連れまでさまざまでした。

I was able to visit during a great time to enjoy the stunning autumn leaves and the snow-covered mountain scenery. The conductor on the bus taught us how to get around, so we were able to visit photo spots and observation decks, thoroughly enjoying our walk in Shirakawa-go. For lunch, the Hida beef and tsukudani were delicious. Since we could return to Kanazawa Station in the evening, I recommend this as a day trip for those traveling to Kanazawa.

見事な紅葉と雪化粧された山の風景が楽しめる良い時期に行けました。
バスの中でコンダクターの方に回り方を教えて頂いたので、写真スポットと展望台を巡り、白川郷散歩を満喫できました。
昼食は、飛騨牛と佃煮が美味しかったです。
夕方には金沢駅に帰ってこれるので、金沢旅行される方は日帰りツアーとしてオススメです。

It was my first time visiting an outlying island. Although it was a quick visit, I was satisfied with my experience on the island. I think it was a great opportunity to scout for a future trip where I can take my time on a favorite island. However, I was quite anxious during the bus ride because one of the children in the same tour group kept coughing. I felt anger towards the parents traveling with a child who was coughing so much at this time of year. While it might not bother them if it were their own child, for others, it is nothing but a source of fear.

初めての離島。駆け足ではありましたがその島を堪能できて満足でした。気に入った島に次回はゆっきりでかける為の下見としてとても良いと思います。ただ同じツアー参加者のお子さんがずっと咳をしていてソレが気になってバスの中では不安な気持ちでいっぱいでした。この時期のこんなに咳をする子供を連れて旅をする親御さんに怒りを覚えました。自分の子供なら気にならないかもしれませんが他人にとっては恐怖でしかありません。

I frequently traveled to Kanazawa in the Hokuriku region for business, but this time I chose to visit Kanazawa, a city I love, and Shirakawa-go, which I had not yet visited, before starting my next job. Unlike the busy activities during my business trips, I was able to enjoy a relaxed time participating in the tour. The schedule had enough flexibility, allowing me to fully enjoy the autumn season. The tour guide, Kuroda, provided various information and had interesting candid conversations. I wanted to hear some English conversation as well, but... The COVID-19 measures were thorough. Thank you very much.

私は出張族で北陸金沢にも頻繁に行ってましたが、この度次期職業に就く前に好きな街の金沢と未だ訪問してない白川郷を選びました。
出張での忙しい活動とは違いツアー参加でのゆったりとした時間を過ごせました。スケジュールも時間の余裕があり十分秋を満喫できました。
添乗員の黒田さんも色々な情報、本音トークも面白かったです。
英会話も聴きたかったですが、、
コロナ対策も万全でした。有難うございます。

Both the driver and the guide provided excellent hospitality, and the COVID-19 measures were thorough, allowing us to feel safe throughout our experience.

運転手さん、ガイドさんともにホスピタリティが素晴らしく、コロナ対策もばっちりで安心して過ごせました。

I had a great time leisurely exploring on a water buffalo cart. It was nice to hear the guide's stories as well. Since you can make good use of the free time, I think it's a great tour.

水牛車でのんびりと散策でき、楽しかったです。
ガイドの方のお話も聞くことができ、よかったです。フリータイムも有効に活用ができるので、良いツアーだと思います。

I had a very fulfilling time visiting Shirakawa-go and Takayama. I think the free time was just the right length, allowing us to explore efficiently! The guide was also really great!

白川郷と飛騨高山を回れてすごく充実でした。
自由時間も長すぎず短すぎず効率よく回れたと思います！ガイドの方もすごくよかったです！

It was my second time visiting Shirakawa-go and Gokayama. The last time I saw Shirakawa-go covered in snow, and this time it was beautiful with autumn leaves; both were wonderful. We were fortunate with the weather and had a great time exploring together with my friend. The meals were also very good for the price.

At times, the guide was excellent and provided enjoyable commentary, making for a fun day. I was surprised that the bus tour was also part of the Go To Travel campaign.

二度目の白川郷と五箇山でした。前回は雪の白川郷、今回は紅葉の白川郷、どちらも素敵でした。お天気にも恵まれ友人と二人で楽しく散策できました。お食事もこの値段設定ではとても良かったです。
時にガイドさんが良くて楽しく案内してくださり　楽しいい一日を過ごせました。
バスツアーも　go to トラベルキャンペーンの対象だったのはびっくりしました。

You can visit the famous spots in the northern region in one day. The aquarium is spacious, so three hours was a good amount of time. The emerald green sea is refreshing and definitely worth seeing. I would love to go again.

北部の名所を一日で観光できます。水族館は広いので３時間設定でよかったです。エメラルドグリーンの海は爽快で見ごたえ十分。ぜひまた行きたい。

It was my first time on Ishigaki Island, and I was able to efficiently visit three islands, making it a fulfilling day. I am very satisfied with the experience, so thank you!

初めての石垣島でしたが、効率よく3島をまわることができ充実した一日になりました。内容も大満足ですかありがとうございました。

I was really satisfied to visit so many sightseeing spots in just one day. The schedule was well organized, so the sightseeing went very smoothly, and I was happy. I also appreciated that the driver adjusted the time a bit for recommended places. Noboribetsu Date Jidaimura was incredibly fun! You can leave your luggage and souvenirs (except for valuables) on the bus, and for those considering using trains and other means of transportation, I truly recommend it! I will use this service again if I have the opportunity. Thank you very much!

1日でこんなに沢山観光地を回れて、かなり満足です。時間もきちんと決まっているので本当にスムーズに観光ができてハッピーでした。またドライバーさんがおすすめの場所などは少し時間を調整してくれたりして、感謝です。登別伊達時代村は最高に楽しかったです！荷物やお土産も※貴重品以外はバスに置いてまわれるし、自分たちで電車など利用して行く事を検討してる方には、本当おすすめです！また機会があれば利用します。ありがとうございました

We participated in a Shirakawa-go tour that we had wanted to join as a couple for a long time. We enjoyed the experience on-site, the food was delicious, and the tour guide provided plenty of information about local attractions and recommended souvenirs. We would love to do this again if we have the chance!

夫婦で以前から行きたかった白川郷ツアーに参加しました。
現地で楽しめたのはもちろん、食事も美味しかったですし、添乗員さんの現地の見所の説明やお勧めのお土産の話などお盛りだくさんでした。
また機会があればお願いしたいです‼️

The autumn leaves were at their peak, and the mountains in the background of the gassho-zukuri were colorful, making everything photogenic! I arrived from Kanazawa quicker than I expected, and the sightseeing time was just right to explore the village thoroughly. The lunch was delicious, and it was a very satisfying tour.

紅葉の見頃だったので、合掌造りの背景の山々も色とりどりで、全てがフォトジェニックでした！
金沢から思ったよりあっと言う間に着いたし、観光時間も集落を一通り周れてちょうど良かったです。
ランチも美味しくて大満足なツアーでした。

The mangrove cruise and the water buffalo ride were both very relaxing and enjoyable. The guides for both were experienced and entertaining. I was especially soothed by the laid-back water buffaloes.

マングローブクルーズも水牛のりもとてもまったりしていて楽しかったです。どちらもガイドさんはベテランで面白かったです。特にマイペースの水牛さんたちは癒されました。

For a beginner like me in Ishigaki Island, not only did I receive basic information, but the guide's explanations allowed me to touch upon the culture and history, making it a very enjoyable trip!

Indeed, it was a bit rushed, but I felt sufficiently satisfied. (This tour made me want to learn more about Ishigaki.)

The person who took care of us was a foreign-looking woman with a darker complexion, reminiscent of a younger Rosanna. She was very kind to me, even though I was a solo participant suffering from a hangover from drinking too much awamori the night before, which made me very happy!

If you make a reservation through this site, you can also receive discounts and coupons from the Go To Travel campaign, so I highly recommend it! (I'm glad I pushed through my hangover to go! Haha)

石垣島初心者の私にとっては。
基本情報を教えてもらえるだけでなく、
ガイドさんの説明によって
文化や歴史に触れられて、とても楽しい旅になりました！

確かに駆け足ではありますが、
充分な満足感はあります。
（このツアーを元に、石垣の事をもっと知りたくなりました）

今回お世話になったのは、
若い時のロザンナ？似の
外国風の色の黒めのお姉さんでしたが、
前日泡盛を飲みすぎて二日酔いの一人参加の私にもとても親切にしてくれ、
大変嬉しかったです！

こちらのサイトで予約すると
gotoトラベルの割引もクーポンももらえるので
オススメです！
（二日酔いを押して行ってよかったです！笑）

The Churaumi Aquarium was not crowded, but including the show and lunch, it felt a bit rushed in just two and a half hours, so I wished I had a little more time.

The guide's explanations were very clear, and they occasionally incorporated the feelings of the Okinawan people, which made me fall in love with Okinawa's unique culture.

I compared several companies for the tour to Churaumi and chose this one because you can board in Naha and get off at Chatan, which is also where my next accommodation is. The arrival time in Chatan was early, allowing me to enjoy my hotel life longer after the sightseeing bus tour.

美ら海水族館は空いていましたが、ショーと昼食を含めて2時間半は慌しかったので　もう少し時間が欲しかったです。

ガイドさんの説明はとてもわかりやすく、ときおり沖縄県民の思いを織り交ぜながら解説してくれて独特の文化を歩む沖縄が大好きになりました。

美ら海へ行くツアーを何社か見比べてこちらに決めたのは　那覇から乗り、次の宿泊地の北谷で降りられる事。その中でも北谷の到着時間が早い事です。こちらの観光バスのあともホテルライフを長く楽しめました。

Although my parents got a bit seasick on the glass-bottom boat, the kids were sparkling with excitement the whole time. Shima-kun, the water buffalo, was wonderfully lazy! We were also healed by the songs of the young man playing the sanshin. I'm grateful for the precious experience on Taketomi Island.

少々グラスボートで親は酔いましたが、子供達は終始目をキラキラさせていました。水牛のシマ君のやる気のなさも最高！笑　お兄さんのサンシンと歌にも癒されました。竹富島の貴重な体験に感謝です。

On the bus to Shirakawa-go, the tour guide shared information about the highlights and photo spots, and we were able to take beautiful pictures with the autumn leaves. The discussion about souvenirs from Kanazawa was also helpful! It was a fun time that went by in a flash.

白川郷に着くまでのバスの中で、添乗員の方が見所・撮影スポットを教えてくださり、ちょうど紅葉もしていて綺麗な写真を撮ることができました。
金沢のお土産のお話も参考になりました！
あっという間の楽しい時間でした。

It took just a little over an hour by bus from Kanazawa Station. The weather was nice, making it the perfect day for sightseeing. Our guide, Mr. Kuroda, shared various recommendations, allowing us to fully enjoy Shirakawa-go. I was also grateful to learn more about Kanazawa. I was unsure whether to go on my own, but participating in the tour allowed us to sightsee efficiently, so I'm glad I joined!

金沢駅からバスで1時間ちょっとでした。
お天気も良く、最高の観光日和でした。
ガイドの黒田さんが色々おすすめを教えてくださったので、白川郷を100%満喫できました。
また金沢のことについても教えていただけたのがありがたかったです。
個人で行くか迷っていたのですが、ツアーで周ることで効率よく観光することができたので、参加して良かったです！

Many people have mentioned this, but Yakusugi Land is a 30-minute course, not a 50-minute one. If that is the default, I think it should be stated in the course introduction. Nevertheless, Yakusugi Land is still a wonderful place, and the Jomon cedar is impressive. If you can't walk to see the giant cedars, I highly recommend it.

The Yakuzaru bus is really recommended for those who do not use rental cars. Thank you for your assistance.

多くの方が書いていますが、ヤクスギランドは50分ではなく30分コースでした。
それがデフォルトなら、コース紹介にもそう書くべきではないかなと思いました。
それでもヤクスギランドはやっぱり素晴らしいところだし、紀元杉も見応えがあります。
歩いて巨大杉を見に行くことができない方は是非。

ヤクザル号は、レンタカーを使わない方には本当にオススメです。
お世話になりありがとうございました。

First, we went on a mangrove cruise in Iriomote Island. It was very pleasant to leisurely explore on a sightseeing boat while listening to the guide's explanations. After that, we crossed to Yubu Island by water buffalo cart. The flowers along the road to Manta Beach were very beautiful. The tropical flowers like hibiscus and bougainvillea, along with the butterflies, were impressive. The sea beyond was also breathtaking.

Finally, we visited Taketomi Island. We chose a glass-bottom boat and bus tour. The guide was very kind and taught us how to find star sand at Kaiji Beach, and we toured the village on the island, receiving various explanations in a short amount of time. Although we didn't ride the water buffalo cart, we were able to walk nearby and take photos, which was great. Since the time to see the village was short, I would like to take a leisurely stroll next time. It was a charming and very lovely island. I was extremely satisfied to see so many different landscapes in just one day!

最初に西表島でのマングローブクルーズ。ガイドさんの説明を聞きながらのんびり遊覧船での散策は気持ちが良かったです。そのあと由布島へ水牛車で渡ります。マンタの浜までの道沿いのお花がとても綺麗でした。ハイビスカスやブーゲンビリアなど南国らしいお花、蝶々に感動。その先の海にまた感動でした。
最後に竹富島です。我々はグラスボートとバス観光を選択しました。
ガイドさんがとても良い方で、カイジ浜で星砂の見つけ方を教えて頂いたり、島内の集落を回り、短い時間の中いろいろ説明して頂きました。
水牛車には乗りませんでしたが、歩きながら近くで見て写真も撮る事が出来たので良かったです。
集落を見る時間が短かったので、次はゆっくり散策したいです。風情がありとても素敵な島でした。
１日でこれだけ色んな景色が見れて、大満足です！

I was captivated by the gassho-zukuri village that appears in the mountains. There is also a river nearby, and beautiful traditional scenery spreads out before you. Since it's a tourist spot, there are souvenir shops scattered around. I bought some limited edition doburoku (unrefined sake). Two hours was not enough time, and I felt rushed. I hope to visit again someday and take my time.

山の中に現れる合掌造りの集落に
心奪われました。近くに川もあり
昔ながらの美しい風景が広がっています。
観光地なのでお土産屋さんも点在しています。
限定販売のどぶろくを購入しました。
２時間弱では時間が足りずバタバタです。
いつかまたゆっくり訪れたいです。
