All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

I was a bit anxious the day before the full day of mountain climbing, but once we started, thanks to our guide Kodama's thorough explanations and appropriate breaks, everything went smoothly! Despite the unfortunate weather, we were able to visit Jomon Sugi and Taiko Rock, which became wonderful memories! I was very happy to take a lot of photos at the photo spots! The next day I had muscle soreness, so I really think it was good to do it all in one day!

丸一日の山登りということで前日は少し不安もありましたが、いざ始まってみるとガイドのこだまさんの丁寧な説明と適度な休憩でスムーズに進むことができました！！あいにくのお天気でしたが縄文杉も太鼓岩にも行くことができいい思い出になりました！写真スポットでたくさん写真をたくさん撮っていただけたのがとても嬉しかったです！翌日は筋肉痛になったのでやはり1日にまとめて良かったと思いました！

A wonderful tour indeed. Our tour guide, Mr Kodama (or Kodama San, as he’d be known in Japan), is simply wonderful, and spoke very good English, with a bit of humour too.

The bus was nice and comfortable, and the bus driver drove really well. Even though some parts of the tour route is windy, you hardly feel any motion sickness at all.

Would definitely recommend it for anyone looking at doing this.

I was torn between visiting three or four islands, but reducing it to three turned out to be the right choice as it gave us a bit more time. The system of having staff at each destination detach the vouchers was easy to understand, and it felt less restrictive compared to tours that require constant group participation. The lunch was surprisingly delicious, and we were blessed with good weather, making for a fun day. I think it would be quite difficult to manage such an efficient itinerary on my own, so I'm glad I participated.

3島か4島かで迷いましたが、1つ減らした事で時間にややゆとりが生まれ正解でした。行く先々で待つスタッフにバウチャーを切り離して貰うシステムは分かり易く、常にグループ行動を求められるツアーとは違うので拘束感が薄かったのも良かったです。昼食も予想以上に美味しく、天気にも恵まれて楽しい日になりました。個人手配では中々ここまで効率良く周るのは難しいと思われ、参加して良かったです。

On a clear day, the boat to Taketomi Island was smooth, and we arrived in no time. The building near the ferry terminal had restrooms and a shop, so we waited for our glass-bottom boat while browsing for souvenirs.

Boats were continuously arriving, and after waiting for two, the glass-bottom boat departed. We were able to see many fish as we visited several feeding spots. Next was the bus. Since it was a shared ride, we waited at the ferry terminal for another boat to arrive before departing. We strolled along the beach where we could find star sand and headed to the water buffalo cart station located in the center of the village.

At the reception counter of the building, we received instructions on which water buffalo cart to board. We were leisurely pulled through the town, while the person holding the buffalo's reins sang with a sanshin and guided us. After returning to the water buffalo station, we took group photos, individual photos, and received our boarding certificate photo.

I had made a reservation for the boat back to Ishigaki Island when we arrived at Taketomi Island, so I hurried to catch that bus. I regretted not having more free time to explore the laid-back town. It was a bit of a hectic tour, but it became a wonderful memory. (Departure at 1 PM, return at 4 PM)

快晴の中、竹富島までの船は揺れず、あっという間に到着。船乗り場そばの建物内にはトイレと売店等があり、ガラスボートの時間までお土産を見ながら待ってました。
ひっきりなしに船がはいってくるので、2隻待ってからグラスポートは出発。餌付けされている場所を何か所か周り沢山の魚を見ることが出来ました。次はバス。こちらも混乗なので、別の船到着を船乗り場で待ってからの出発。星の砂が見つかる砂浜を散策し、集落の真ん中にある水牛車乗り場へ。建物の受付カウンターへ行き、どの水牛車に乗るかの指示を受けて乗りました。
のんびりと街中を引いてもらい、また水牛の手綱を持つ方が蛇三線で歌を歌って、案内をしてくれました。水牛乗り場へ戻って集合写真、個別写真を撮り、乗車証明写真をもらいました。
石垣島へ戻る船の予約は竹富島に着いた時に指定していたので、そのバスに乗れる様に急いで行動。
のんびりした街中、自由散策時間があれば良かったと反省。ちょっと慌ただしい観光でしたが、とても良い想い出になりました。
(13時発16時戻り)

You get a little bit of everything on this trip. 5th Station, brief stop at a theme park, a short cruise on the lake, and a stop by a beautiful garden. The main thing missing is time. You simply don't get enough time at each destination. I think the stop at Fuji-Q can be taken out. Nonetheless, the tour is good value for the price and you get to experience a lot.

I wanted to visit Shirakawa-go, so I searched online and made a reservation. The guide was very polite, unique, and even fluent in English, which made for a truly memorable day!

Fortunately, the weather was also great, and I was able to fully enjoy the beautiful Shirakawa-go! Thank you very much to our guide, Mr. Kuroda, the driver, and the trainee driver for all your help.

白川郷に行ってみたいと思いWEBで検索して予約に至ったのですが、
大変丁寧でユニークで、英語まで堪能なガイドさんでいらしたので、
大変思い出に残る1日となりました♪

運良く天候にも恵まれ、とても美しい白川郷を堪能できました！！
ガイドの黒田さん、運転手さん、研修中の運転手さん、大変お世話になりました。

I participated alone, but I was able to enjoy it without getting bored. The time allocation was very well done, making for a great course. Thanks to the guide's excellent guidance, I was able to enjoy it without any waste of time. I was impressed by the driver, who politely got off the bus every time to stand by the door to see off and welcome the passengers.

一人参加でしたが飽きることなく楽しめました。
時間の配分がとても良くできていて良いコースでした。
ガイドさんの見事な案内でまったく無駄なく楽しめました。
ドライバーさんも丁寧に毎回お客さんの乗降時にバスから降りてドアの横に立たれて見送りと出向をされるので感心しました。

I participated with two friends.
The meeting place was close to our accommodation, and the bus was easy to find. There were more foreign participants than Japanese, making it a multicultural bus.
The guide's stories were interesting, and they were kind and attentive, so I really enjoyed it!
The time spent at each location was short, but we disembarked at American Village along the way, allowing us to see a beautiful sunset.
Given the level of satisfaction for this price, it was a great deal! I'm very satisfied.

友人2人と参加しました。
集合場所も宿から近くバスも分かりやすかったです。参加者は日本人より外国の方のほうが多く、多国籍なバスでした。
ガイドさんのお話は面白く、優しく丁寧だったのでとっても楽しめました！
ひとつひとつの場所での時間は短かかったですが、途中のアメリカンビレッジで離団したため、綺麗な夕陽をみれました。
この充実度でこのお値段は安い！とっても満足です。

I decided to join this tour because they provide direct transportation to the hotel where I was staying in Naha City.

The schedule for the Churaumi Aquarium was 150 minutes, which included seeing the giant whale shark in the massive tank, browsing for souvenirs, and watching the dolphin show at the Okichan Theater starting at 3 PM. Although the timing felt a bit rushed, it was just right.

Personally, I wasn't very aware of the scenic spots like the Warumi Bridge and Kouri Island when I signed up, but they were beautiful, and I enjoyed the souvenir shops as well. Taking photos at the beach, having a restroom break, and shopping for souvenirs felt a bit short at 20 minutes. I wished we had another 10 minutes. It was a whirlwind just looking at Blue Seal ice cream, tankan, papaya, and pure brown sugar. I returned to the bus with a heavy heart.

At Nago Pineapple Park, I thought 20 minutes was sufficient for souvenir shopping and restroom breaks. However, it would have been better if the restrooms were a bit cleaner.

I would like to thank the guide who contacted the restaurant and subsequent facilities regarding my allergy concerns, as well as the staff at the restaurant and shops for their assistance. Thank you for your kindness.

I believe the price, which includes transportation costs, aquarium admission fees, and guide fees, is very reasonable. Overall, it was a tour that allowed us to spend a comfortable and efficient day.

那覇市内の宿泊するホテルに直接送迎してくれることが決め手となり、こちらのツアーに参加しました。

美ら海水族館は150分で、巨大水槽のジンベイザメを見て、お土産を見て、さらに15時からのオキちゃん劇場のイルカショーを見て、バスの駐車場に15:45までに戻ってくるという時間配分は、少し急ぎ足ですがちょうど良かったです。

個人的には、申込時にあまり意識的していなかったワルミ大橋、古宇利島観光がとてもキレイで、またお土産物屋さんも楽しかったです。ビーチで写真を撮り、トイレ休憩し、お土産を買うのに20分では短く感じました。もう10分あればなあと思いました。ブルーシールアイス、たんかん、パパイヤ、純黒糖など、いろいろ見るだけであっという間でした。後ろ髪を引かれながらバスに戻りました。

ナゴパイナップルパークではお土産とトイレ休憩なので、20分でも良いと思いました。ただ、トイレがもう少しきれいだと良いのですが…。

昼食のアレルギーの件で相談した際に、レストランや後続の施設に連絡を取ってくださり、対応してくださったガイドさん、レストランやお店の方々に感謝いたします。ご親切にありがとうございました。

交通費と、水族館の入館料、ガイド代を含めてのこの値段は非常にリーズナブルだと思います。全体的に、効率的良く、快適に1日を過ごすことができるツアーでした。

We gathered at the prefectural office square in the morning and set off right away, stopping by several hotels to pick up participants before heading to Manzamo, which is often featured on postcards. It was under construction, so we couldn't take our time to enjoy it, but the Elephant Nose and the Meoto Iwa (Wedded Rocks) are famous there. I was glad we could spend plenty of time at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, which my child had been looking forward to. It was nice to see my child enjoying their first experience in a pineapple field at Pineapple Park.

We had fresh purple sweet potato tart at the Okashi Goten, and it was delicious. There's nothing like it fresh out of the oven. We were also able to buy a lot of souvenirs. I was exhausted from sleeping soundly on the bus ride back, but if you want to efficiently visit tourist spots, I recommend this course.

朝県庁前広場に集合してすぐ出発しましたが、数カ所のホテルに回り参加者を拾って、葉書によく出る万座毛に行きました。工事中だったので、ゆっくり見れなかったが、象の鼻と夫婦岩が有名です。子供が憧れていた美ら海水族館にたっぷり滞在できて良かったです。パイナップルパークで子供が初めてパイナップル畑を見て楽しそうだったので良かったです。
お菓子御殿で生の紅芋タルトを食べて美味しかったです。やっぱりできたてがうまいんです。またお土産もいっぱい買えました。帰るバスの中で爆睡して疲れましたけど、効率よく観光名所を回りたいならこのコースがおすすめです。

The guide's explanations were very informative. There were also foreign tourists, so the English explanations were helpful. The introduction to souvenirs from Kanazawa was also useful.

ガイドさんの説明が勉強になりました。外国人観光客もいたので英語での説明内容も参考になった。金沢のお土産の紹介も参考になった。

I took a direct flight from Kansai International Airport to Ishigaki Island and participated in this bus tour for a day. The tour starts at 2 PM, so there's plenty of time to make it. We visited famous spots, including Kabira Bay, in 3.5 hours. (The sunset is also very beautiful.) On the way back, I took the 8:10 PM flight to Kansai International Airport to return to Osaka. January 2020.

関空から石垣島まで直行便に乗り、日帰りでこのバスツアーに参加しました。ツアーは、2時からなので十分に間に合います。
石垣島を３.5時間で 川平湾を含む名所を周ります。(夕日もとても美しい)
帰りは20:10関空行きに乗り大阪へ。2020年1月

Convenient group gathering place.
I recommend taking a ticket with a boat trip and funicular, they offer a magnificent view of Fuji.

I was the only one who chose this tour on that day and the organizer respected the tour schedule and commitment.
professional tour guides and comfortable transportation.

This tour covers all the mandatory sights in and around Mount Fuji on a day trip from Tokyo. The guide was very helpful. If you have JR pass then you can take the shinkansen back to Tokyo else it is good idea to boom the tour with bullet train package. Food served during the tour was average. Overall a goos experience.

The weather was beautiful and the traffic was very smooth. I had the basic package and purchased the 4000 yen package when I got on the bus. 100% worth it!

Overall, just being on the bus while listening to the guide's stories, songs, dances, and sanshin music allowed us to enjoy the scenery and attractions (Eisa) at various locations. It was a tour where we could naturally feel the charm of Okinawa. There were many foreign travelers, possibly because it is a popular tour, with participants from four different countries on the day we went. The bus was full, but the guide was very attentive, and I appreciate being able to enjoy a pleasant sightseeing experience. It was a bus tour that made me want to repeat the experience.

とにかく、バスに乗っているだけでガイドさんの話・歌・踊り・三線を聴きながら各所で景色やアトラクション（エイサー）を堪能させてもらえます。沖縄の魅力を自然に感じられるツアーでした。人気のツアーなのか外国の旅客も多く、当日は4か国の方々でした。バスも満席でしたがガイドさんの気配りも非常によくできていて、気持ちよい観光ができたこと感謝します。またリピートしたいと感じるバスツアーでした。

Every thing was good however would have liked to spend a little longer at Mt Fuji.

It was the best bus tour with a very friendly bilingual guide and a driver who was very polite in both driving and greetings! There were more than 80% foreign participants, which was a first-time experience for me, but the Japanese guests were seated together in the front row of the bus, and we were able to depart from each sightseeing spot without much delay, making it a comfortable experience. I definitely want to use this service again if I have the chance.

とても感じの良い、バイリンガルなガイドさんと、運転も挨拶もとても丁寧なドライバーさんで、最高のバスツアーでした！
外国人の方が8割以上で初めての経験でしたが、日本人はバスの前列に固めてくれて、各観光地の出発時間もさほど遅れることなく、快適に過ごすことができました。
是非また機会があったら利用したいです。

We participated as a family of five, and they covered all the places we wanted to see. The tour guide was also very kind. There were many foreign visitors, but we had no issues during our time.

家族五人で参加しましたが、見たいところ全てカバーしてくれ、添乗員さんも親切でした。
外国の方が多かったですが、特に問題なく過ごせました。

The plan included a bus tour and a water buffalo cart. I used this service five years ago, and at that time, the tour explanations were thorough and good, so I decided to use it again this time. However, the water buffalo this time was an old one that would stop to urinate and defecate after walking a short distance. During a time-limited tour, we stopped more than ten times, which significantly reduced our free time. Because it was urinating so often, there was little sightseeing commentary, and on top of that, we were subjected to a tone-deaf song that made it hard to tell whose song it was (it should have been a song by Rimi Natsukawa...). I hope they can improve this with a sense of professionalism, as they are providing a service for which they receive payment from customers.

　バス観光と水牛車のプランであった。5年前にも利用し，そのときは観光の説明もしっかりしてくれていてよかったので今回も利用した。しかし，今回の水牛は老牛で少し歩くと立ち止まりおしっこ，うんこをする。時間に制限ある観光をしているところで，一周する途中十回以上立ち止まり自由時間がかなり削られた。おしっこばかりしているため，観光案内は少なく，さらに，誰の歌であったか分からなくなるような調子の外れた歌を聞かせられるというおまけも付いていた。（夏川りみさんの歌であったはずだが・・・）。お客さんからお金をいただいて行っている仕事であるというプロ意識をもって改善してほしい。

I went on a solo trip to Yakushima for 3 nights and 4 days.
- I wanted to make the most of my arrival day in the afternoon.
- I wanted to fully experience the natural beauty of Yakushima.
- Since I was going to Jomon Sugi on the second day, I wanted to conserve my energy and go to bed early on the first day.
- I didn't rent a car, so I wanted round-trip transportation.

I was pondering what could fulfill these four wishes when this tour solved everything for me!
Even though I was the only participant during the off-season, the guide took me around in a taxi and provided detailed and careful explanations about Yakushima one-on-one! I felt lucky to have a private experience.
Not only did I have a great time at Yakusugi Land, but thanks to the wealth of knowledge I gained about Yakushima before going to Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo on the second and third days, the enjoyment of trekking was multiplied many times over.
I highly recommend participating on the first day!

3泊4日の屋久島一人旅に行きました。
・到着日の午後を有意義に過ごしたい
・屋久島の自然の魅力をたっぷり知りたい
・2日目に縄文杉に行くので、初日は体力温存して早く寝たい
・レンタカーはしないので往復送迎してもらいたい

この4つを叶えられることは何かないかなぁと悩ましく思っていたところ、このツアーが全てを解決してくれました！
オフシーズンで参加者が自分1人でしたが、ガイドさんがタクシーで全て案内してくださり
マンツーマンで屋久島のことを詳しく丁寧にお話ししてくださいました！貸切気分でラッキーでした。
ヤクスギランドで楽しい時間を過ごせたのはもちろんのこと、
2日目〜3日目の縄文杉・白谷雲水峡に行くときに屋久島に関する事前知識がたくさん入っていたおかげで、トレッキングの楽しさが何倍にも増しました。
ぜひ初日の参加をお勧めします‼︎

I was surprised by the price, as it included a packed tour taking us to various places, a wonderful hotel, a delicious lunch, and even the fee for the Usuzan Ropeway! The guide, with a lovely smile, was kind and thoughtful, and spoke beautiful Japanese, which made me feel a renewed respect as a Japanese person. I had a great time! Thank you very much.

あちこち連れて行って下さり盛り沢山のツアーなのに　素敵なホテルで美味しい昼食と有珠山ロープウェイ料金まで含まれこの値段でびっくりでした！　笑顔の素敵なガイドさんは親切で、心遣いも素晴らしく、美しい日本語でお話くださり、日本人として改めて尊敬してしまいました。楽しかったです！ありがとうございました。

Although the weather was unfortunate, thanks to our famous guide, it was an enjoyable tour. The glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay is optional, but I highly recommend it.

It's a pity that the hamburger for lunch didn't suit my taste.

I also encountered some rare snails and hibiscus.

あいにくのお天気でしたが、名物？ガイドさんのおかげで、楽しいツアーでした。
川平湾のグラスボートはOPですが、ぜひ。

昼食のハンバーグがぼくの口には合わなかっのは残念です。

珍しいカタツムリやハイビスカスにも出会えました。

Initially, I participated with the expectation of a storm, but when we arrived, it was sunny, and even when it rained, it was just light rain, allowing us to fully enjoy sightseeing. For lunch, I thought it would mainly be wild vegetables, but it was very well-balanced and delicious. Even as a picky eater, I was able to eat everything and was very satisfied! If I had to say something, I would have liked to allocate 15 to 30 minutes of the time spent at Takayama to Shirakawa-go instead. Both the guide and the driver were very attentive and kind. Thanks to the guide's well-structured information, I was able to enjoy the sightseeing, and overall, it turned out to be a fulfilling tour, leaving me very satisfied!

当初、嵐の予報で覚悟して参加しましたが、降りたところでは晴れて、降っても小雨で、観光を満喫できました。昼食も、山菜中心になるのかなぁ〜と思っていましたが、とてもバランス良く美味しく、偏食な私でも全部食べれて、とても満足でした！強いて言えば、高山の見学時間を15分から30分白川郷に回して頂きたかったです。ガイドさんもドライバーさんも親身で良くして頂きました。ガイドさんのポイントを押さえた案内で観光も楽しむ事ができ、結果充実したツアーになり大満足でした‼

I apologize for the inconvenience and disturbance caused as I was with children. We had a great time together. Since we had many places to visit, I had to accompany the kids to the restroom and walk at their pace, which left us with little time to shop at the souvenir stores, and I felt a bit sorry for just borrowing the restroom. However, we were able to hit all the key sightseeing points, and I think this price is very reasonable!

子連れでしたので、大変ご迷惑、お騒がせして申し訳ありませんでした。
子供と一緒にとても楽しませていただきました。
立ち寄る場所が多いため、随所で子供のトイレに付き合ったり歩幅を合わせて歩くとお土産屋さんで購入する時間がなく、お手洗いだけ借りるような形になってしまい、ちょっと申し訳なくおもいました。
しかし観光ポイントはしっかりと押さえており、この価格はとてもお得だと思います！

On the day I arrived in Ishigaki Island, I booked an afternoon island tour. The response was quick, and they also provided hotel pickup. The bus guide was kind, and I felt the warmth of the island's people.

石垣島に行った当日に、午後の島巡りを予約しました。対応が早くて、ホテルでのピックアップもしてくれました。
バスガイドさんも親切で、島の方々の優しさを感じました。

The bus tour was a very good way to go around Okinawa if you don't have a car. They picked us up at a convenient place and took us to the aquarium and other scenic locations around the island. The staff was helpful and friendly.

I was a bit anxious about the all-day tour starting early in the morning, but thanks to our guide, Mr. Takahashi, I was able to enjoy trekking at a comfortable pace with my fellow tour members while listening to information about Yakushima and an iPhone workshop!
The miso soup and coffee during our breaks were also very delicious!

I think it's possible to go on your own, but having a guide is definitely safer, and you can learn a lot about Yakushima. Next time I go, I want to visit Mount Miyanoura, so I hope to book again then!

早朝から丸一日掛けてのツアーに不安がありましたが、アクティブ高橋さん(笑）のガイドのおかげで、屋久島の事やi-Phone講座に耳を傾けながら同じツアー仲間の方々と程よいペースでのトレッキングを楽しむ事ができました！
(´▽｀)
あ！休憩時の味噌汁とコーヒー等はとっても美味しかったです！

個人で行く事もできると思いましたが、やはりガイドさんがいた方が安全ですし、屋久島の事をたくさん学べると思います。
今度行く時は宮之浦岳に行きたいので、その時はまたお願いします( ^^)

Participants were almost evenly split between Japanese and Chinese Singaporeans. I was amazed by the guide's interpreting skills. The claim that they had only been studying English for a year must be a joke. I found it very helpful to learn how certain expressions are used in English. Additionally, the guide took us to shooting spots that weren't in the guidebook. Thank you very much.

日本人と中国系シンガポールからの参加者がほぼ半々。
それに対してガイドの通訳の見事さには驚きました。
英語をやりだしてまだ１年との言葉は冗談でしょう。
なるほど英語ではこういう言い方なんだと非常に参考に
なりました。
また、撮影ポイントなどガイドブックにないところも
案内していただきました。
ありがとうございました。
