All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

I used the service on September 8. I was the only woman… the rest were mostly families or friends, and almost all were from overseas. I felt really lonely, but the tour guide talked to me, so I didn’t feel too lonely. I was very satisfied because we could visit all the must-see spots in Kyoto in one go. The tour itself involves taking a bus to the destination, and then everyone can explore freely, as long as they return by the bus departure time, so I think it's perfect for those who don’t want to travel in large groups. It was hot, and I got a bit exhausted, but I had a very fulfilling time. The tour guide also gave helpful advice on how to visit efficiently and see great places. If I go to Kyoto again, I would like to use this service. Next time, I’ll bring someone with me!

9月8日に利用しました。女1人は私だけ…あとは家族連れか友達とかほぼ海外の方で占めていました。すっごく心細かったのですが添乗員さんが話しかけて下さってあまり寂しい思いはしませんでした。京都と言えば！の所を一気に周れるので大満足でした。ツアー自体は目的地までバスで行って、あとは各々好きに行動してバスの出発時刻までには戻ってきて下さいというシステムなので大人数で行動するのが嫌だという方にもぴったりだと思います。暑さもあり、バテてしまいましたがとても充実した時間を過ごす事ができました。添乗員さんもこういう風に行くと効率がよくいい場所見れますよとアドバイス下さったので助かりました。また京都行くことあれば利用したいです。今度は誰かを連れて行きます笑

I had a great time.
The meeting point was Palette Kumoji near the prefectural office.
Since it's also a waiting area for other sightseeing buses, it was somewhat crowded.
However, the tour guide efficiently checked the reservation list and guided us to the bus.
The bus was a large sightseeing bus that could accommodate 50 to 60 people.
Since I had small children with me, we reserved two seats, but there was enough space, and we were allowed to move to any available seats, which was very appreciated.
We visited various sightseeing spots and headed to our main destination, the Churaumi Aquarium.
We spent a short 150 minutes enjoying a meal while watching the large tank and thoroughly enjoyed the dolphin show before heading back.
While it had elements of a whirlwind tour, I think it's perfect for those who want to hit the major tourist spots.
The tour guide's stories were interesting, covering topics from Okinawa's base issues to road conditions; it might not resonate with everyone, but I found it fascinating.
Also, since there is quite a bit of walking at the aquarium, Manzamo, and Ryukyu Village, a stroller is essential.
Thank you very much.

とても楽しませてもらいました。
集合は県庁近くのパレット久茂地。
他の観光バスの待ち合わせエリアでもあるので、多少混雑。
ですが、添乗員さんがテキパキと予約表を確認してバスへ案内してくれました。
バスは50～60名乗れる大型の観光バス。
小さな子連れだったので席は2名分の確保でしたが、余裕があるので、空いている席に移動してもよいとのことで、とてもありがたかったです。各観光地を周り、最大の目的地の美ら海水族館へ。
150分と決して長くない時間を使って、大水槽を見ながら食事をし、イルカショーを堪能して帰ってきました。
弾丸ツアー的な要素ありますが、王道観光地を押さえておきたい人にはぴったりなツアーだと思います。添乗員さんのお話もおもしろく、沖縄の基地問題から道路事情まで、興味ない人には響かないかもしれませんが笑、私は興味深く聞いてました。
あと水族館や万座毛、琉球村は結構歩くので、ベビーカーは必須です。
ありがとうございました。

On my first visit to Yakushima, there were so many places I wanted to see. I wondered if I could walk for 11 hours, but the sense of accomplishment when I completed the ambitious course was indescribable. Of course, Jomon Sugi was amazing, but even the scenery along the way was wonderful. I walked at quite a pace, and although my stay was short, I think it's great for those who want to see a lot in a limited time. However, it can be quite tiring. I don't think it's suitable for those who want to take their time, but since I wanted to be efficient, I thought it was a good tour.

初めての屋久島で沢山見たいところがありました。11時間も歩けるかな？と思いながらも欲張りコースを歩ききった時の達成感はなんとも言えません。縄文杉なども勿論素晴らしかったですが、ただ歩いているその辺の景色も素晴らしい。結構なペースで歩きましたが、滞在時間が少な行けど、あれもこれも行きたい人には良いかなと思います。ただそこそこしんどいと思います。ゆっくりまわりたい人には向かないと思いますが、私は効率よく回りたかったので良いツアーだったと思います。

I couldn't relax because of the heavy rain... The café I wanted to visit was also closed... I was really down about this. I want to try again on a sunny day. I did manage to find some star sand, though.

大雨でゆっくりできず、、、。
行きたかったカフェも定休日、、、。
流石にこれは落ち込みました。
またリベンジで晴天の日に行きたいです。
星の砂は発見できました。

You can fully enjoy the scenery of Taketomi. On the day we visited, fortunately, the weather was too good. It was really hot. We were grateful for the bus tour. However, there were also many people using rental bicycles. I felt it was too hot to manage that. Riding the water buffalo cart was a great experience. The young man's singing and guidance were also good.

竹富の風景を満喫できます。私達が行った日は、おかげ様で、良すぎる天気。だから、暑くて暑くて。バスでめぐっていただき、助かりました。でもレンタサイクルの方もたくさんいらっしゃいましたΣ(￣。￣ﾉ)ﾉ私は、無理だと感じるほどの暑さ。水牛車に乗ったのも、良い経験
。お兄さんの歌、ガイドも良かったです

This time, I participated with my elementary school daughter. Since I'm a paper driver, I often use sightseeing buses. The guide was a woman. As other reviews mentioned, we were able to tour very efficiently, and since it was my first time in Ishigaki Island, it was truly great. The Kabira Bay, which I had always seen in photos, was indeed beautiful. I think it's worth taking a ride on the glass-bottom boat. We also got to see trees that can only be found in the Yaeyama Islands. The guide kindly took photos for us, so it will be a memorable experience. The food was just average. I recommend this for those visiting Ishigaki for the first time.

今回は小学生の娘と二人で参加させてもらいました。ペーパードライバーなこともあって、観光バスはよく利用します。
ガイドさんは女性でした。
他の方の口コミの通り、とても効率よく回れて石垣島は初めてだったので、本当によかったです。
いつも写真で見ていた川平湾はやはり綺麗でした。グラスボートは乗った方がいいと思います。
八重山にしかない木も見れました。ガイドさんが快く写真を撮って下さったので、思い出に残ります。
料理はまあ、普通です。
石垣旅行が初めての方にはおすすめです。

The past five years have been the toughest both mentally and physically.

However, I experienced a lot of inspiration and deepened bonds with my friends.

If you're Japanese, I highly recommend climbing Mount Fuji and trekking in Yakushima!

Absolutely recommended! ^_^

ここ5年で一番精神的にも肉体的にもキツかった。。

ただ、たくさんの感動と仲間の絆が深まった。

日本人なら富士山登山と屋久島トレッキングを！

超絶オススメ^_^

Since there were guests from abroad, there were also guides available in English. The food was delicious, and we also had the experience of making washi paper. The guide also shared some secret photography spots, making our time enjoyable. Shirakawa-go is definitely worth visiting again during the autumn foliage and snowy seasons.

外国からのお客様もいらっしゃったので、英語での案内もありました。食事も美味しく、紙すき体験もしました。
ガイドさんから秘密の撮影スポットも教えて頂き楽しく過ごしました。
白川郷は紅葉と雪の季節に再び行く価値ありです。

With transportation included, you can easily visit three islands. This tour covers the highlights of each island and is ideal for those experiencing remote islands for the first time. When crossing to Yufu Island, sitting at the front may result in getting splashed, so if you're concerned about that, consider sitting towards the back.

送迎付きで、3島を手軽に回ることができます。それぞれの見どころを抑えており、離島初体験のツアーとしては最適といえます。由布島に渡るときは、先頭に座ると水がかかる可能性がありますので、気になる人は後方に座ることも考慮してください。

I was picked up at Kyoto Station and requested a tour of Nara. They made it a flexible and free travel experience. Additionally, the driver-guide speaks English, so I always ask for them when I have foreign customers.

京都駅でピックアップしていただき、奈良観光をお願いしました。
臨機応変に自由な旅を叶えてくれます。またドライバーガイドの方も英語がはなせるので、外国人のお客様の際はいつもお願いしています。

I participated with a friend. It was a clear day in late August, and the temperature was high. Besides us, there was only one young student couple around 20 years old, making it a small group.

We gathered before dawn and entered the mountains from Shiratani Unsuikyo, then after seeing Taiko Rock, we headed to the Jomon Sugi course, which required over 12 hours of hiking.

As a 30-year-old office worker who doesn't exercise much, it was quite tough, but I managed to keep up with the group and completed the hike. The limited time for the return bus made the descent particularly challenging as we had to move quickly. The next day, as expected, I was hit with severe muscle pain, which made the innkeeper laugh out loud.

Our guide was a man over 70, and it was impressive how smoothly he climbed. He was a bit quiet and didn't provide many explanations, but his experience was evident, and I felt secure following him.

There were moments when the rain intensified (which I believe is normal for Yakushima hiking), but overall the weather was good, and I had a great time. If I have the opportunity, I would like to try an overnight course next time.

友人と２人で参加しました。８月下旬のよく晴れた日で、気温も高かったです。我々の他には、20歳前後の若い学生カップルが１組いるのみで、少人数のグループでした。
朝は真っ暗なうちから集合し、白谷雲水峡から入山して、太鼓岩を見たら縄文杉コースへ、という流れで、12時間以上の登山が必要です。
30歳の特に運動もしていないオフィスワーカーにはなかなかきつかったですが、グループの足を引っ張ることもなく、何とか歩ききることができました。
帰りのバスの時間が限られているので、特に下山する時のペースが速かったのがきつかったです。翌日は予想通り激しい筋肉痛になって民宿のおっちゃんに爆笑されました。
ガイドさんは70歳超えの男性でしたが、スイスイと登っていくのがすごかったです。無口な方なのか、あまり多くの解説はありませんでしたが、ベテラン感がすごく、安心して着いていくことができました。
途中雨が強くなるなどしましたが（屋久島登山では普通のことと思いますが）、全体的に天気もよく、とても楽しめました。機会があれば今度は泊まりコースに挑戦してみたいです。

I participated in this tour on the day of heavy rain, May 18. Fortunately, we were able to reach Jomon Sugi, but on the way back, there were places where the road had collapsed due to rising water. While other hikers were turning back, our guide proceeded without hesitation through the waterfall-like path, leading us forward. By the time we returned to the hiking trail, the water had risen to knee level in some areas. Just when we thought we could relax after getting back to the trail and boarding the bus, we found ourselves blocked by a fallen tree, preventing the bus from moving forward. In that situation, our guide took the initiative to go outside and cut the fallen tree with a saw. When we had to spend the night on the bus, the guide went out in the heavy rain to find a way back and called for help. Throughout the return from Jomon Sugi, the guide supported not only us but everyone else, continuously moving without rest. Their decisiveness and ability to take action were remarkable. Thanks to them, I was able to follow along with peace of mind. If it weren't for our guide... I am truly filled with gratitude. Thank you very much. Next time, I want to take on the Shiratani Unsuikyo challenge again.

このツアーに参加させていただいたのは、5月18日の豪雨の日でした。
ラッキーなことに縄文杉までは行くことができましたが、帰りは増水により道が決壊している場所もありました。他の登山者が引き返してくる中ガイドさんは何の躊躇もなく滝のようになった道を突き進み先導してくれました。登山道まで戻ってくる頃には膝上まで水が上がってきているところもありました。登山道まで戻ってきてバスに乗り込んでホッとしたのもつかの間。倒れた大木で道を塞がれてしまいバスが前に進めない状況。そんな中ガイドさんは率先して外に出てくれ、倒れた大木をノコギリで切ってくれました。またバスの中で一夜を過ごすことになった時も、ガイドさんが豪雨の中外に出
てくれて帰れる道を探してくれたり、助けを呼びに行ってくれました。縄文杉の帰りから私たちだけではなく、他の皆のこともサポートしてくれ、休むことなくずっと動いてくれていました。決断力と行動力が素晴らしい方でした。おかげで安心してついていくことができました。ガイドさんがいなかったら…。本当に感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです。ありがとうございました。
次回は白谷雲水峡をリベンジしたいです。

Guide was great...sang an Okinawan song to us, and with a good voice.

I was able to visit various places in one day, making it a very fulfilling trip! Although the lavender season had ended, there were many other colorful flowers blooming, which were beautiful and more than satisfying. For lunch, I had the cheese fondue at Furano Wine House, which was exquisite—I would love to have it again! The bus rides were enjoyable as well, as I could admire the vast scenery of Hokkaido from the window. If I have the opportunity, I would like to join another tour. Thank you very much!

１日で色々なところに行けたのでとても、充実した旅になりました！
ラベンダーは時期が終わってしまったタイミングでしたが他にもカラフルなお花が咲いていてとても綺麗で十分満足できました。
ランチはふらのワインハウスで食べたチーズフォンデュが絶品でリピートしたいくらいです。笑
バスの移動時間も広大な北海道の景色が車窓から眺めていられるので楽しかったです。
また機会がありましたら別のツアーにも参加してみたいです。
ありがとうございました‼︎

As a beginner, I was quite anxious at first, but the staff were very kind and taught me well, and I realized that diving can be enjoyable even if you can't swim!

Thank you very much!

初心者なので、最初結構不安でしたが、スタッフの皆さんがとても丁寧に教えていただきまして、ダイヴィングは泳げなくても楽しめることを再認識しました！

本当にありがとうございました！

I've been to the main island many times, so honestly, there weren't any new places for me, but I wanted to visit the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium and Pineapple Park again, so I joined the tour. The guide was absolutely amazing! Their quick movements and consideration, plus their excellent English skills! It must be tiring to speak the same thing in Japanese and English twice...

One thing that concerned me was that we arrived at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium at a somewhat awkward time for the "Oki-chan Show." Since it was a bit far, moving from indoors to the show and back was hot. However, if I were to visit all these places on my own, it would be difficult and expensive, so I think the cost performance is excellent! 😊

何度も本島に行っているので、正直初めての場所はありませんでしたが、美ら海水族館と久しぶりにパイナップルパークに行きたくてツアーに参加しました。なんと言ってもガイドの方が最高でした！動きや配慮のテキパキさ、めちゃくちゃ英語が堪能！日本語、英語と同じ事を二回話すのは疲れるでしょうね…
一つ気になったのは、美ら海水族館に着いたのは「オキちゃんショー」には中途半端な時間だった事。離れているので屋内→ショー→屋内の移動暑かったー。しかし、個人でこれだけの場所を周るとなると大変だし高くつくしコスパは最高だと思います(^^)

This time, since it was a trip with my elderly parents, I wanted to minimize walking while still having a satisfying plan, and I found this course! The cruise was great, and the water buffalo cart and bus sightseeing were very good without unnecessary fatigue.

今回は高齢の両親との旅行だったので、なるべく歩かず、けれども満足行くプランでと思って探してヒットしたのがこのコースでした！
クルーズも良し、水牛車、バス観光と無駄に疲れることなく大変良かったです

The weather was not on our side, and due to rain from the morning, we couldn't go to Shiratani Unsuikyo as planned... However, despite the bad weather, thanks to our tour guide's arrangements, we were able to see Jomon Sugi! On the way back, I was worried that the heavy rain might cause the river to flood, but it turned out to be quite an experience trekking in such downpours, and there were some interesting moments.

The warm miso soup made by our guide warmed up my chilled body from the rain!

Next time, I want to take on Shiratani Unsuikyo again!

天気に恵まれず、朝から雨のため、予定していた白谷雲水峡は行けず・・・
しかし、なんとか悪天候の中、ツアーガイドさんの計らいもあって縄文杉は見に行きました！
帰りはどしゃぶりで川も氾濫するんじゃないかと心配でしたが、なかなか体験できない、土砂降りの中のトレッキングで、面白いところもありました

ガイドさんが作ってくれたあったかいお味噌汁が、雨で冷えた体を温めてくれました！

今度は白谷雲水峡をまたリベンジして行きたいです！

I signed up for the course on Saturday. I thought it would be a mountain road, but it wasn't like that at all, and I didn't get motion sickness. I had plenty of time to explore Shirakawa-go. I asked the guide for recommendations on sushi restaurants in Kanazawa and headed there afterward. It was very delicious. I would like to sign up again in a different season.

土曜のコースに申し込みしました。山道かとおもったけどそんなこともなく、酔わずにすみました。白川郷の散策は十分な時間がとれました。ガイドさんの金沢のお勧めお寿司のお店の情報をきいてそのあと向かいました。とっても美味しかったです。また違う季節に申し込みしたいです。

It was a tour with high cost performance, allowing us to visit famous spots on Ishigaki Island and enjoy meals.

On the day of the tour, the weather was bad, and we couldn't ride the glass-bottom boat; we also got rained on at the observation deck. However, the guide's stories were interesting, and the content was very satisfying.

We arrived at the airport around 1:30 PM. It was a great tour that allowed us to enjoy Ishigaki Island until the last minute.

石垣島内の名所を巡り、食事も食べられる
コストパフォーマンスが高いツアーでした。

当日は天候が悪く、グラスボートに乗れず、展望台では雨にも降られましたが、ガイドの方のお話しも面白く、十分満足いく内容でした。

空港には13:30頃の到着でした。
ぎりぎりまで石垣島を楽しむことができるとても良いツアーでした。

The water buffalo carts, the buildings, and the people were all wonderful.

My stay on Taketomi Island was very short, so I felt a bit unsatisfied and definitely want to go back again.

水牛車も、建物も、人も全てよかったです。

竹富島の滞在が、すごく少なくて。。物足りなかったので、またぜひ行きたいと思いました。

The water buffalo on Taketomi Island was just as good as I expected. However, one disappointing thing was that despite checking in early to ride the water buffalo, I was skipped over several times. When I asked if it was my turn yet, I was told to wait a little longer, and then it turned out I had actually been forgotten. I was disappointed by the lack of enthusiasm from the staff at the reception.

竹富島の水牛は予想通り良かったです。
ただ一つ残念なのが水牛に乗るのに早く受付をしたのにも関わらず、何組にも飛ばされ、まだですか？と聞いたときにはもう少しお待ちくださいと言われ、それからまた待っていたら実際は忘れられていた。受付のやる気の無さにがっかり。

The guide was kind and it was very good. Although it was quite tough at times, I was greatly helped by the guide's stories and thoughtfulness. Yakushima's Jomon Sugi can be climbed by beginners, but it requires considerable physical strength. For those who don't usually hike, it's advisable to prepare for potential issues on the day (like sprains or muscle pain). It’s reassuring if others in the same group have similar experiences, but as a beginner, I felt I was causing some inconvenience to everyone (though no one said it was a bother). If you're concerned, I think a tour that allows for individual participation would be a good option.

ガイドの方が親切で、とてもよかったです。途中かなりしんどかったのですが、ガイドの方の話や心使いで随分救われました。屋久島の縄文杉は初心者でも登れますがかなりの体力がいります。普段登山をされていない人は、当日想定されること(ねんざ、筋肉痛)などの対応策は用意した方がよいです。同じグループの人が同じ経験をしているくらいでしたら安心ですが、初心者でしたのでみなさんにご迷惑かけることも多く(迷惑とは言われてませんが)申し訳ないなという気持ちになりました。気になる人は個別でいけるツアーでもいいと思います。

I went to Yakushima for a 2-night, 3-day trip. Since I only had a full day for trekking, I chose a greedy course that allowed me to visit both Taiko Rock and Jomon Sugi. (laughs)

I participated with a friend, and the guide took photos for us at the photo spots, so we didn't need a selfie stick! Even as a beginner, I managed to reach the top. However, there was a huge difference in fatigue afterward between my friend, who exercises regularly, and me, who doesn't exercise at all. So, those who don't usually work out should be prepared before participating. My legs felt like sticks for about three days after the climb. (laughs)

Both Taiko Rock and Jomon Sugi offered breathtaking views. Since it rained on and off, a raincoat is essential. If you don't have trekking shoes, it's better to borrow some. The shoes I borrowed didn't let any water in, even when walking through some muddy areas!

2泊3日で屋久島へ行きました。トレッキング時間も丸1日しか取れなかったので、太鼓岩と縄文杉どちらも行ける欲張りコースを選びました。笑
友達と二人で参加したのですが、ガイドさんが写真スポットに到着すると写真を撮ってくださるのでセルカ棒いらずでした！
初心者の私でもなんとか登り切ることができました。ただ、普段運動している友達と全く運動していない私とでは終わった後の疲労感にとてつもなく差があったので、やはり普段から運動していない方は覚悟を持って参加した方がいいです。私は登った当日から3日くらいは足が棒のようになりました。笑

太鼓岩も縄文杉も絶景でした。
雨が降ったり止んだり繰り返すのでカッパは必須です。トレッキングシューズがない方は借りたほうがいいです。私が借りたシューズは多少のぬかるみを歩いても全く浸水しませんでした！

Would definitely recommend this itinerary & tour! Our tour guide was friendly and service was great overall.

I signed up for a tour since I was traveling alone and didn't have a driver's license. The bus was cool, and the guide entertained us a lot, teaching us things I didn't know along the way with the beautiful scenery. The driver also greeted us every time we got off. I left the tour due to my own circumstances, but they treated me with kindness until the end. I'm glad I participated. The highlight of the tour was gaining various information and learning about Okinawa's history. I would like to join again. Thank you very much.

ひとり旅で免許もないので、ツアーに申し込んでみました。
バスは涼しいし、ガイドさんは沢山楽しませてくださり、知らなかったことも道すがらの風景と共に教えてくださいました。運転手さんも降りるたびに声を掛けてくださいました。
私の都合で離脱しましたが、最後まで丁寧に接してくださいました。
参加して良かったです。
ツアーの醍醐味は、色々な情報や沖縄の歴史などを得られることです。また参加したいと思いました。
どうもありがとうございました

I enjoyed riding a boat on Lake Shikotsu, taking in the clear lake bottom and surrounding scenery. At Lake Toya, I savored a meal and enjoyed the hot springs, and at Mount Usu, I took the ropeway and enjoyed the view from the summit while eating soft serve ice cream. Unfortunately, due to rain, I couldn't take photos of Nakajima Island in Lake Toya from the Silo Observatory, but it was a well-balanced tour. I tend to get bored if there’s too much focus on nature, scenery, transportation, or food, but the overall length of the tour was just right.

支笏湖で船に乗り、透明感の高い湖底や周囲の景色を楽しみ、洞爺湖では食事と温泉を楽しみ、有珠山ではロープウェイや山頂からの景色を楽しみソフトクリームを食べました。残念ながら、サイロ展望台では雨のため洞爺湖の中島を含む写真を撮れなかったのですがバランスがよいツアーでした。どうして自然、景色、乗り物、食事などに偏りがあると飽きてしまうのですがツアー全体の時間の長さもちょうど良かったです。

Since it was the end of August, I wasn't expecting much in terms of flowers, but I was surprised and moved to see that they were blooming more than I anticipated. The guide was also enjoyable, and I created wonderful summer memories.

8月末だった為、お花はあまり期待してなかったのですが、思いのほか咲いていてびっくりと共に感動しました。ガイドさんも楽しく素敵ななつの思い出が出来ました。

Il taxi si è presentato davanti al nostro alloggio perfettamente puntuale: abbiamo concordato l'itinerario e, dopo aver letto le condizioni di trasporto, siamo partiti.
Abbiamo apprezzato la guida spedita (ci ha fatto risparmiare parecchi minuti).
Per comunicare il taxista ha utilizzato un traduttore vocale portatile, che si è dimostrato affidabile.
Se si è in tanti (noi in 9) il prezzo è davvero conveniente, anche considerando parcheggi ed autostrade, pagati da noi di volta in volta.
Attività e compagnia sicuramente da consigliare!

At Pineapple Park, if you're just wandering around with kids, you won't have nearly enough time. You'll have to dash through the souvenir shop. On Kouri Island, an umbrella is a must. If you want to dip your feet in the sea, bring sandals or water shoes. The aquarium is relaxing. Just be aware that there are few places to have lunch.

パイナップルパークは子供と普通に回っていたら全く時間が足りません。
お土産屋さんはダッシュで通り抜けないといけません。
古宇利島は日傘、必須です。。
海に足を入れたい場合はサンダルやマリンシューズを。
水族館はゆったり。
ただランチできる場所が少ないのでご注意を。
