All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

It was a bit tough for the guys in their 40s who are not used to exercising, and one person dropped out, but the sense of achievement was incredible. The guide was also a veteran, which was great.

40代の運動不足のオジさんたちにはちょっとキツイプログラムで1人リタイアしましたが、その分達成感ハンパなかったです。ガイドもベテランの方で◎

I used this service for a two-night stay in Kyoto for sightseeing. I had read that there are many foreign visitors, and indeed, everyone was punctual and kind. The staff's guidance and explanations were quick, and they remembered my face. Even though I was coughing due to a cold, they helped me by explaining the sightseeing spots in the city while I was moving after getting off the bus.

One concern I had was the lack of clear markers and explanations for the pickup at Kyoto Station. Since it was my first time, there were many tourists around the station, and although I had asked about the meeting point in advance through the Shinki Bus Tour, I struggled to find the marker. I expected a yellow happi coat, but it seems they switched to polo shirts this summer, and I was flustered, not noticing the staff who passed by me multiple times. I would have liked them to use flags when gathering at Kyoto Station as well. Additionally, it would be helpful if there was some explanation about participants from Kyoto Station boarding the bus after taking the train to Fushimi Station and touring the grounds.

A couple with large luggage seemed distressed and complained to the staff, which was unfortunate for both parties.

I wish we had about 20 more minutes at each sightseeing spot, but given the time constraints, I am very satisfied that we were able to visit so many places in one day. I was able to take many photos while running around and create wonderful memories. I will definitely use this service again.

遠方から２泊で京都観光の中日に利用です。
外国の方が多いとは体験で読んでましたが、皆さん時間厳守で、親切でした。
スタッフの方の誘導も説明も迅速で顔をちゃんと覚えて下さり、風邪を引いて咳き込まれてるのにバス降りて移動中に、市内の観光スポット説明をしてくれてとても助かりました。

ひとつ気掛かりなのは、京都駅からﾋﾟｯｸｱｯﾌﾟの際の目印と説明の不備です。初めて行くと駅周辺では観光客が大勢で、事前に神姫バスツアーで集合場所を聞きましたが目印を見つけるのに戸惑いました。
黄色い法被のはずが、今夏からﾎﾟﾛｼｬﾂになったらしく目の前にを何度も往来するスタッフさんに気づかず焦りの右往左往。京都駅集合の時も旗を利用して欲しかったです。
また京都駅からの参加者がバスへ乗車するのは伏見駅まで電車移動の上境内観光後と、どこかに説明が書いてあると良いと思います。
大荷物でツアー参加したご夫婦が知らずに動揺され、スタッフさんへクレームを入れていて、どちらも気の毒でした。

各名所の観光時間はもう20分欲しいところですが、時間配分的に困難なので、これだけ沢山を1日で回れたことにとても満足してます。
走り回りながら沢山の写真を撮り、思い出を残すことが出来ました。
是非また利用させて頂きます。

Difficult to locate the tour provider at pickup pt, no counter or signage board. The cruise is rather boring, would rather pay more if snacks and drinks can be provided during the cruise since it's a long day tour.

Everything was perfect about it. I loved it. Guide was awesome. Looking forward for my next trip.

If you go on this tour, please take into account the weather forecast. The morning we left from Tokyo, it was pouring rain. The rest of the day was also covered in grey clouds, rain and fog. We therefore did not see Mt. Fuji at all. Not even a glimpse unfortunately. Although we did go up the cable car, we could not see more than like 30 meters ahead due to the fog.
Although the weather forecast is unpredictable, and the organization is of course not to blame for bad weather (humans can unfortunately not control it) it is a pity that we did not get any compensation whatsoever. Having paid this huge amount of money for a bus tour where we did not even see the mountain has simply been a disappointment. Nevertheless, the tour guide was energetic and nice.

We visited this Mt Fuji tour on a lucky day where the sun was shining and we had wonderful clear views of Mt Fuji. Our Tour guide Nao was so funny and informative as well as informative. We had a packed day full of activities but it definitely didn't feel rushed or that we didn't have enough time at each activities. The lunch was at a fancy place tasting very delicious, and The lake cruise and ropeways were refreshing providing the best unobscured view of My Fuji The activities were very very good and I would 100% recommend this tour!

It was a full day tour with loads of walking.
Organisation was superb, the tour guide knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating.
This is an excellent tour which manages to show us a great deal of important sites which would be hard to achieve in one day by other operators.
I was extremely satisfied at the end of the day.

I participated in a tour on the afternoon of the day I arrived in Ishigaki Island. I thought about using a bus free ticket to get around, but the bus schedule didn't work out as I hoped, so I opted for the tour. In hindsight, choosing the tour was the right decision. Inside the vehicle, the guide explained the history of Ishigaki Island, described the scenery visible from the window, played the sanshin, and let us listen to folk songs. It was a very rich experience!

石垣島に到着した日に午後から参加しました。
バスのフリーチケットでまわろうと思いましたが、バスの時間が思うようになかっので、ツアーにしました。
結果としてツアーにして正解でした。
車内では、ガイドさんが石垣島の歴史や車窓から見える風景の説明、三線を弾いて下さり、民謡を聴かせて下さり、とても盛り沢山な内容でした！

If you are looking for a convenient way to see Mount Fuji from japan this is the tour for you. Eko our guide for the day was pleasant, friendly and knowledgeable. She made the trip fun driving between site to sight. Her English was perfect and humor a joy. The lunch was fantastic, lots of variety and tasty. I highly recommend this tour if you only have a day to spend in the region. The option for the fast train back to Tokyo (which we choose last minute during the trip) is also worth the ride and experience. Eko helped us arrange that easily.

Considerations: It is a long day. Time of year - if it's a colder month, i might opt for a shorter tour.

As promised the Hop-On Hop-Off bus made its’ way through the route, allowing us to get a sense of part of Tokyo. Unfortunately, the commentary was very stilted, and lacked history, and details. I usually enjoy getting an overview of a city on a Hop-On Hop-Off bus, but felt that we hit only a few highlights of Tokyo and the information received was less than satisfactory. The Hop-On Hop-Off offered a means to get to some places, but beyond that it was disappointing.

I was a bit anxious about making my first online reservation, but receiving a confirmation call the day before the tour made me feel very reassured. During the tour, even as someone who was inexperienced, the easy-to-understand guidance allowed me to enjoy the tour without getting lost.

初めてのネット予約で少し不安でしたが、ツアー前日に確認の電話を頂いた事で、とても安心出来ました。ツアー中も不慣れな私でも判りやすい案内で、迷う事無くツアーを楽しめました。

The tour guide's guidance was excellent and kept us engaged during the travel time. Since the tickets for the aquarium and Ryukyu Village are included, considering the cost and time of renting a car, as well as the risks of driving, I think this is a very worthwhile tour. We were able to efficiently visit the main spots, from pineapples and watermelons to sea grapes and a souvenir shop with purple sweet potato tarts.

ツアーのガイドさんの案内が素晴らしく移動時間を飽きさせない。
水族館と琉球村のチケット込みなので、
レンタカーを借りる費用と時間、運転のリスクを勘案して考えると非常にお得なツアーだと思う。
パイナップルやスイカ、海ぶどうから紫いもタルトがある土産屋までメインスポットを効率よく回れる。

The leisurely experience of the water buffalo cart was a wonderful time where time flowed slowly. If the weather had been better, I would have wanted to stay longer to feel more of the island's atmosphere.

マイペースな水牛車の体験はのんびり時間が流れていくいい時間でした。お天気が良ければもっともっと島の雰囲気を感じるため長い滞在をしたかったです。

I had so much fun from morning until evening that there wasn't enough time.
It was a great tour.
I highly recommend it if you're going to the Churaumi Aquarium!

朝から夕方までみっちりと時間も足りないくらい楽しめました。
とても良いツアーでした。
美ら海水族館に行くならオススメです！

I participated with my 3-year-old child. We rode a boat, saw mangrove forests, crossed the sea on a water buffalo, enjoyed delicious meals, and took a bus. On Taketomi Island, we toured the island on a water buffalo, and my child was able to enjoy it without getting bored, which was really great.

Before going, I was worried that the schedule might be too hectic for my child, but the timing was just right and there were no issues. Thank you for the enjoyable tour.

3歳の子供と一緒に参加しました。
船に乗ったりマングローブ林を見たり水牛で海を渡ったり美味しいご飯を食べたりバスにも乗って、竹富島では島内を水牛に乗って観光したり、子供も飽きずに楽しめて本当に良かったです。

行く前は、子供にはハードスケジュールすぎるかとも悩みましたが程よいタイムスケジュールで問題ありませんでした。
楽しいツアーをありがとうございました。

Time well spent and the guide speaks well and explains clearly. She is informative and never a dull moment. Would recommend friends/family to book this tour. thanks alot.

The main tourist attractions in central Okinawa were packaged together, and I enjoyed every moment from start to finish.

I thought it would have been nice to see the super famous Heart Rock on Kouri Island, even just passing by on the bus. The Churaumi Aquarium, of course, had the large tank with whale sharks, but enjoying a café while overlooking the big tank was a luxurious experience. After that, instead of watching the dolphin show, I took a stroll on Emerald Beach, which turned out to be a lovely and refreshing place. I wondered if the inclusion of the Okashi Goten was a commercial strategy or a collaboration, but I ended up buying some souvenirs (laughs). The atmosphere and the dance at Ryukyu Mura were also great, and I even got to meet the famous staff member, Grandma Umeko (laughs).

Also, as many of you have written in your experiences, the guide was truly wonderful. Not only did we hear stories about Okinawa, but there were also songs included, making the entire day of the tour enjoyable, even on the bus.

In short, I was able to spend a fulfilling day. I highly recommend this to anyone planning to explore this area!

沖縄中部の主な観光地がパッケージされていて最初から最後まで盛りだくさん、十二分に楽しめました。

古宇利島では、超有名なハートロックまで見れたら良かったかなと思います、バスで通るだけでもいいので。
美ら海水族館は、ジンベイザメの大水槽ももちろんですが、大水槽を眺めながらのカフェが優雅なひと時でした笑
その後イルカのショーは見ないでエメラルドビーチを散歩しましたが、思った以上に素敵で気持ちよい場所でした。
御菓子御殿が組み込まれているのは、商業戦略かタイアップ？と思ってしまいましたが、乗せられて（笑）しっかりお土産を買いました。
琉球村の踊りも雰囲気も良かったです、名物スタッフ・ウメトおばぁにも会えましたし笑

あと、皆さんも体験談でよく書かれてますが、ガイドさんはとても素晴らしかったです。
沖縄話だけでなく唄なども交え、バスの中も含めツアー１日を堪能できました。

と、とにかく充実した一日を過ごす事ができました。
この辺りを巡ることを予定されている方には超オススメです！

While the trip was good, everything went smoothly and the tour guide was very informative and helpful, it was disappointing to learn we have very little time at each stop. We felt very rushed, including for lunch. I suggest the tour return later, or you are upfront with customers that in order to fit in all of the activities the actual time at each stop is very limited.

The mangrove cruise in Iriomote Island offered scenery that felt like it was not in Japan. Additionally, the bus driver on the way to Yubu Island was so entertaining that he could be mistaken for a Yoshimoto comedian, keeping the passengers engaged throughout the ride. The water buffalo also worked hard pulling the cart, making the island crossing feel quick. On Taketomi Island, the sightseeing with the glass-bottom boat and water buffalo cart also ended in no time. I would love to go again if I have the chance.

西表島でのマングローブクルーズは、此処は日本と思えない景色でした。
また、由布島までのバス移動の運転手さんは、吉本芸人かと言える位、乗客を
退屈させない、素晴らしい運転手さんでした。
水牛も一生懸命に牛車を引っ張ってくれていたので、あっという間の島渡でした。
竹富島では、グラスボートと水牛車での観光もあっという間に終わってしまいました。
また、機会があれば行きたいです。

I participated with my small child. The bus guide was very pleasant, and her voice was easy to understand. I boarded in Naha City, but the bus picks up at various hotels, which will be helpful for my next trip to Okinawa when choosing a hotel. We visited the aquarium and played with my child at Emerald Beach near the aquarium. With a full three hours, there are various ways to enjoy the experience depending on the person.

小さい子供と2人で、参加しました。バスガイドさんが、非常に感じ良く、声も聞き取りやすかったです。私は、那覇市内から乗車しましたが、色々なホテルにバスがお迎えに行くので、次に沖縄旅行に来る時のホテルの参考にもなりました。水族館を見学して、水族館近くのエメラルドビーチで、子供と遊びました。3時間たっぷりあるので、人によって、楽しみ方が色々出来ます。

Very nice and very fascinating tour. Will definitely do it again. Also no problem recommending to friends

The hotel shuttle service was very convenient. I had a lot of fun throughout the day ( ᵔᵒᵔ )♡ I wished I had a bit more time at Pineapple Park. The next Hanasaki Marche had a longer stay than Pineapple Park, so it might be good to adjust the time here. I really enjoyed Churaumi. Pineapple sorbet was served in the car, along with a souvenir of one piece of Chinsuko. I highly recommend it.

とても楽ちんでした。
1日、たくさん楽しめました( ᵔᵒᵔ )♡
パイナップルパークはもう少し
滞在時間欲しかったです。
次のハナサキマルシェはパイナップルパークより長い滞在時間だったので、ここの時間を調整してもらえたかいいかもしれません。
美ら海はほんとに楽しめました。
パイナップルのシャーベットが車内ででて
ちんすこう１個のお土産つき。
とてもおすすめです。

Dislike the multi dips , guide changing in mid day, and bus changing to max out the margins for the agency, sacrificing the comfort level and experience of the users. Morning guide was really poor as she waited for the return passengers from the shrine at the bus parking area instead of providing some sort of assistance in between the shrine and the bus lot

I chose this bus tour as it allows me to efficiently travel with my elderly mother. The bus also had a singing tour guide, which made our time enjoyable.

高齢の母と効率よく回れるバスツアーとして選びました。バスには歌うバスガイドさんも同行しており、楽しく過ごすことができました。

I participated on May 14th. It rained from the early morning, with the weather alternating between clearing up and drizzling.

This was my first time hiking, and I was only worried about whether I could walk for 10 hours, but once we started, I never thought about wanting to quit! I was able to enjoy the climb!

The trolley path was 8 kilometers long, and it felt like we were just walking endlessly. It was really long. The guide shared various stories and pointed out animal tracks and a nest of newborn baby birds, which made the journey enjoyable. Once we finished the trolley path, the real climbing began, and I thought reaching the Wilson stump was the hardest part. After that, the footing was relatively stable, so it wasn't too difficult.

The Wilson stump is famous for its heart shape, but honestly, I don't think I would have been able to take a nice photo of the heart without the guide. Many people entered the stump and quickly left, and I don't think they got a good shot of the heart. I couldn't tell what made the "Three Generations Cedar" special when I saw it myself, but the guide explained each one, which was very helpful. Along the way, there were trees that looked like dragons and recommendations from the guide.

The attractions on the tourist map were spaced far apart, so just climbing would have been tough. I noticed several troubles like shoe soles coming off and people injuring their feet, but those with a guide were able to get treatment and continue climbing. Some individuals who came on their own found the mountain too tough and decided to turn back.

Although it was my first time hiking, the guide adjusted the pace, provided breaks at good times, and offered miso soup and snacks for salt replenishment, which made the experience very enjoyable! If you're not an experienced hiker, having a guide is definitely recommended!

５月１４日に参加しました。
朝一から雨でず時おり病んだり少し降ったりを繰り返しす天気でした。

登山は初めてで10時間も歩けるか不安しかなかったのですが、いざ始まってみるとやめたい！とか思うことは一切なく楽しんで登ることができましたっ！

トロッコ道は8キロもあり、ただただ永遠にひたすらに歩きます。本当に長いです。ガイドさんが色んな話をしてくれたり、動物の跡や生まれたての鳥の赤ちゃんの巣を教えてくれたりしたので楽しみながら進むことができました。
トロッコ道が終わると山登りが始まりますがウィルソン株にたどり着くまでが一番大変だと思いました。そこからは割と足場が作られているのでそこまでしんどくなかったです。

ウィルソン株はハートが有名ですが正直ガイドさんが居なかったら綺麗なハートの写真は取れなかったと思います。割と切り株に入ってすぐ出て行く人も多くいました。その人たちは♡に撮れてないと思います。三代杉なども自分で見たら何が三代なのか分かりませんでしたが、ガイドさんが一つ一つ話してくれるのでとても助かりました。
道の半ばにもドラゴンに見える木やガイドさんのオススメの木を教えてくれました。
観光マップに載っているものは間隔が長いので単に登るだけだと辛かったと思います。

靴底が取れる、足を痛めるなどトラブルがあるのを随所に目にしましたがガイドさんが付いている方は処置をしてもらって登ることができていました。
個人できている方は山がきついので諦めて帰る方もいました。
私も山登りは初めてでしたが、ペースを調節してくれたり、いいタイミングで休憩を入れてくれたり
塩分補給にお味噌汁やおやつをくれたり、とっっっても良くしてもらったので始終楽しく登ることができました！
登ったことがある、ベテランの方で無ければ絶対ガイドさんが居た方がいいですっ！

It was very crowded due to Golden Week, but I thought I wouldn't be able to navigate as efficiently without the tour, so I decided to participate. When we entered the parking lot at Fushimi Inari, we were a bit behind schedule, but as expected from the professionals, they adjusted things so that we hardly lost any sightseeing time.

We also included a meal, and it was definitely the right choice! We were able to enjoy our meal in a relaxed manner, separate from the huge crowds outside.

There were so many highlights, and by the end of the day, my feet were sore. Thank you for taking our family photos and for your thoughtful considerations.

I had a great time. Thank you!

GWのため大変な混雑でしたが、ツアーでなければここまで効率良く回れないと思い参加させて頂きました。
伏見稲荷の駐車場に入る時、少し時間は押しぎみでしたが、さすがプロ❗修正してほとんど観光時間を短縮することはなかったと思います。
食事も付けていたのですが、頼んでいて大正解！外の大混雑とは別にゆったりと食べられる事が出来ました。
沢山の見所満載で、１日の終わりには足はパンパンでした。
家族写真を取っていただいたり、ご配慮ありがとうございました。

楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。

The bus driver, tour guide, and interpreter were all very pleasant, making for an enjoyable trip. The free time for exploration was just right, and the hand-made rice cracker experience was fun as well. If there's another opportunity, I would love to do it again.

バスの運転手さん、添乗員さん、通訳の方、全ての方、感じがよく楽しい旅になりました。
自由散策の時間も程よく、手焼き煎餅体験も楽しかったです^_^
機会がありましたら、また、よろしくお願いします。

I participated with my 80-year-old mother.
On Taketomi Island, we chose a bus tour and a water buffalo cart, but my biggest concern was the restroom situation.

Since it was a group tour, I was worried about whether my mother could keep up with everyone, if there would be time for restroom breaks, and if there were restrooms available at various locations.
However, the staff kindly reminded us at key points to use the restroom while we had the chance, which allowed us to enjoy the tour with peace of mind.

As far as I can remember, the restrooms were available at the following locations:
on the boat heading from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island,
at the port of Iriomote Island,
on the boat during the mangrove cruise,
at two locations within the Yubu Island botanical garden,
at the first stop of the Taketomi Island bus tour,
and at the waiting area for the water buffalo cart.

I think it should be manageable for those participating with elderly individuals, as long as restroom breaks are not needed too frequently.

One slight disappointment was the lunch.
It felt very much like a typical group meal.
Other than that, I was satisfied!

80歳の母を連れての参加でした。
竹富島ではバス観光と水牛車をチョイスしましたが、
一番心配だったのがトイレ。

団体のツアーだし、母が皆さんについていけるか、
トイレの時間はあるのか、
そもそもトイレがあちこちにあるのか、
ずっと気になってました。
でも要所要所でトイレに行く方は今のうちに！と、
スタッフの方が声をかけてくださったので、
安心してツアーを回れました。

トイレがあった場所を覚えてる範囲でかくと、
石垣島から西表島へ向かう船の中、
西表島の港、
マングローブクルーズの船の中、
由布島の植物園内に2か所くらい、
竹富島バス観光の最初に立ち寄ったところ、
水牛車の待合場所…、
といったところでしょうか。

もし高齢の方を連れて参加する方でも、
よほどの頻度でない限りは大丈夫だと思います。

ちょっと残念だったのがお昼ごはん。
いかにも団体さんの…、って感じのご飯でした。
後は満足です！

The 10-hour hike was quite tough, but I encouraged each other with the people I was climbing with, and when I finally saw the Jomon Sugi, a sense of accomplishment and exhilaration welled up from deep within me. I'm really glad I signed up for this tour and got to see the Jomon Sugi.

１０時間登山はなかなかしんどかったのですが、一緒に上っている方々と共に励まし合いながら登り切り、念願の縄文杉を見れたときは達成感と高揚感が芯から湧き上がってきました。本当にこのツアーに申し込んで縄文杉を見れて良かったです。

I was glad to be able to use the round-trip transportation, including the water buffalo cart and the island bus tour, at this price. If I have another opportunity, I would like to incorporate a different plan and make a reservation.

水牛車と島内バスツアーが往復の交通費含め
この価格で利用出来て良かったです。
また機会があったら違うプランも組み込んで
予約したいと思います。
