All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

Since I am a paper driver, I decided to take a bus tour to explore Ishigaki Island, and it was the right choice. This tour had a well-planned itinerary for efficiently sightseeing around Ishigaki Island, and I was satisfied.

私がペーパードライバーのため、今回はバスツアーで石垣島観光をすることにしましたが、正解でした。このツアーでは、効率よく石垣島を観光するプランが練られており、満足しました。

I chose the water buffalo cart on Taketomi Island. While riding the cart, the driver shared interesting facts about the water buffalo and Taketomi Island, and he also sang traditional songs from Taketomi Island, providing attentive service.

竹富島での水牛車を選択しました。水牛車に乗っている間は、操縦士さんが水牛や竹富島に関する豆知識を披露してくれたり、竹富島伝統の唄を歌ってくださったりと、丁寧な接客でした。

We were glad to learn our bus was a fully roofed bus in the red route. In January Tokyo can be cold and being open air is a hard pill to swallow.
The blue route was open roof, but they provided blankets so it wasn't as bad as expected.

The routes were just ok. The red one is good, but the explanation on the audioguide was limited. Too much music and too little insight information. However the blue line had no information at all and the route was a waste. It's short (53 minutes) and only two stops before going back home, missing all the important points of the city.

It's kind of expensive for what they give you, compared to other cities in the world.

Recently, many tour guides don't provide much guidance, but the tour guide for this trip sang and danced, introduced various aspects of Okinawa, and made the bus ride enjoyable! ❗(^^)d

最近の添乗員さんは、ガイド的なことされない所が多いですが、こちらのツアーガイドされた方は、歌って踊って、所々沖縄の紹介していただいて、バスに乗っている最中も楽しく過ごすことが出来ました❗(^^)d

We have enjoyed the tour very much. It was informative and fun. I would recommend it.

We decided to take a ride on the Sky Bus as a way of seeing the connectivity of the city, which sometimes can be difficult to establish when you travel underground the whole time. We were a group of four, 2 adults and 2 kids and enjoyed every last minute of our ride! The English guide was great and the hand warmers and blankets worked a treat to keep everyone toasty and warm.

Despite the unfortunate bad weather, I was still able to enjoy myself! Since it was a tour, I could relax and have fun, even on my own!

あいにくの悪天候でしたが、悪天候でも楽しむことができました！！ツアーだったので、安心して楽しむことができ、一人でも満喫することができました！

We had a great time on the Hop-on Hop-off bus around Tokyo. We were able to see the sights and stop at the areas of interest to us. When the temperatures dropped, the staff politely offered blankets to help us keep warm. We took the blue line and most of the red line in one day, and wished we had more time for a multi day pass. Everyone we interacted with was polite and helpful.

The destinations were great, but I felt that there wasn't enough time at all the places. However, since I signed up knowing this, there's a part of it that can't be helped. The in-car guide through the earphones was very disappointing. The announcements were choppy, the volume was loud, and most people around me weren't paying attention. There were many foreign tourists, and while having a lot of free time is nice, the tour guide, who seemed to be new, was trying hard but spoke too softly, making it hard to understand what was being said. There were also various shortcomings, and it was unfortunate that the meeting point was far away, leaving us with little time to explore leisurely. I think the content of the tour and the training of the guides should be reviewed a bit more. I enjoyed the destinations.

行き先は良かったですが、やはり全部の場所で時間が足りないと感じました。が、薄々気がつきながらも申し込みしたので仕方ない部分もありますが、、イヤホンでの車内ガイドは残念過ぎます。途切れ途切れのガイドアナウンスで音量も大きいし周りも聞いてない人がほとんどでした。外国の方も多くて自由行動が多いのはいいのですが、新人であろう添乗員さんは頑張っているのは分かりますが声が小さくて何を言ってるのか分からないし色々未熟過ぎるし、集合場所までも遠いから時間が無くなってゆっくり見れないことが残念でした。ツアーの内容と添乗員の教育をもう少し見直された方がいいと思います。行き先は楽しめました。

I was very grateful that I could efficiently visit Iriomote Island, Taketomi Island, and Yufu Island. I wanted to leisurely explore the nearby islands from Ishigaki Island, but access was poor and it was unfortunately raining, so I made a reservation the day before. There seemed to be other tours with similar schedules, but I think this one was the cheapest. On Taketomi Island, there was also free time for strolling, and I was able to enjoy the atmosphere of the island.

西表島、竹富島、由布島が効率よくめぐれて、大変助かりました。石垣島から近隣の島をゆっくり巡りたかったのですがアクセスが悪いのと、あいにくの雨でしたので、前日に申しこみました。似たようなスケジュールでほかのツアーもあったようですが、一番安かったかと思います。竹富島では自由時間もあり散策もでき、島の雰囲気も味わえました。

Our driver was efficient, kind, professional, personable and very helpful. After hearing where we wanted to visit, he made recommendations about the order and timing of our day. We also needed to find a birthday cake and buy shinkansen tickets and he called a bakery and waited outside the station while we went to the ticket counter. The car was clean and comfortable. In addition, he selected exactly what we requested for a lunch stop: fast, local, easy to seat 14 people and good food.

We also hired a 9-seater Hi-ace van as we were a large group of 14. He worked well with the other driver and took turns explaining things as we were on site at shrines, temples and gardens.

It was a perfect day with the car and driver!

Our driver was cordial, knowledgable and professional. After hearing what we have already visited and what we still wanted to see in Kyoto, he made recommendations about where to go and time spent at the location. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

We also hired a second 6-seater as we had a large group of 14 people. He and the other driver worked together and took turns explaining things as we were on site at temples and museums.

The guide was absolutely wonderful! I was moved by the fun stories and the performance and singing of the sanshin! I definitely want to use this service again!

ガイドさんが最高に素晴らしかったです！
楽しいお話や三線の演奏と歌に感動しました！
ぜひまた利用したいです！！

The guide, Mr. Nerome, was full of smiles and dedicated in assisting foreign guests. Bravo! He worked hard to share Okinawa's issues through song and dance. Also, the driver, Mr. Oshima, always greeted us with "Welcome back" when we returned to the bus. I was glad to have both of them as guides.

However, what was disappointing, given how great it was, was...

In the email received after the tour, it said,
"We're looking forward to your experience sharing!"
"That was the best time of my life!" "I definitely want to participate again!"
Please share your genuine thoughts to help other travelers!

While I understand there are individual differences, it felt somewhat like there was pressure to write something positive.

外国人のお客さんに対しても笑顔いっぱいで、献身的にご案内くださったガイドの根路銘さん、ブラボーです。歌に踊りに、沖縄の問題を知ってもらおうと頑張っておられました。そして、バスへ戻る際にいつも「おかえりなさい」と声をかけてくださったドライバーの大城さん、お二人にご案内頂けて良かったです。

とても良かったが故に残念だったのが・・・、

個人差もあるかと思いますが、なんだか、良い事を書いてくれと強要されている印象を受けました。

It was a rainy season, but somehow the weather held up, and I was able to enjoy a variety of activities including the water buffalo cart, glass-bottom boat, and exploring the village and beach.

I intentionally jogged and walked around Kaiji Beach, famous for its star sand, and Kondoi Beach, which allowed me to collect shells on the sandy beach and observe plants and insects.

Although I had an afternoon departure, I was able to enjoy myself until 5:00 PM, so I had a great time.

雨の多い時期でしたが、なんとか天気が持ち、水牛車やグラスボート、そして村中やビーチ散策まで一通り楽しめました。
星の砂で有名なカイジ浜やコンドイビーチへは、あえてジョギングとウォーキングで巡ったので、砂浜での貝殻拾い、植物や昆虫などの観察をすることが出来ました。
午後発でしたが、17:00まで楽しめたので、十分に満喫できました。

It was a journey from mid-winter to mid-summer. It was a wonderful experience with nature still largely preserved. One downside was the poor toilet situation in Okinawa, which was concerning. With the Olympics approaching, many tourists will likely visit, so I hope for improvements soon.

What impressed me the most was the wonderful service from our guide! I was moved when they sang Okinawan folk songs accompanied by the sanshin. Their thoughtfulness, smiles, and singing were the best. If I visit again, I would love to ride on that guide's bus.

If I had to mention something negative, it would be the presence of some poorly behaved tourists who didn't respect the schedule. That was disappointing. However, it was still a fun day. I sincerely thank you. Thank you very much.

真冬から真夏への旅でした。
自然がまだまだ残されている素晴らしい観光でした。少し残念なのは
沖縄のトイレ事情の悪さが気になりました。多分オリンピックと共に
多くの観光客が訪れるでしょうから・・・出来たら早めの改善を願います。
特に感動したのはガイドの方の対応の素晴らしさ！また三線と共に沖縄民謡を
歌ってくださり、感激しました。気配り、笑顔、歌声・・最高でした。
また訪れることがあったら、あのガイドさんのバスに乗せていただきたいですね。強いて言うとマナーの悪い観光客がいたこと。時間を守らないメンバー。
残念でした。しかしながら楽しい一日でした。心よりお礼を申し上げます。
ありがとうございました。

I participated in the Shirakawa-go and Gokayama plan that my mother wanted to go to.

The scenery was very beautiful, and I am satisfied.

Next time, we are talking about wanting to see Shirakawa-go in the snow! ★

母が行きたがっていた白川郷・五箇山プランに参加しました。

とても景色が綺麗で、満足です。

次回は、雪の白川郷が見たいねと話しています★

It was my first trip to Okinawa, so on the first day I thought about joining a tour. After looking at various options, I found a tour that covered attractions like the Churaumi Aquarium from the central area and signed up. I thought the price for a tour that lasts from morning to night was surprisingly low. The guide was also a fun person, and I had a meaningful day. Next time, I definitely want to try another course.

初めての沖縄旅行でしたので
１日めは何かツアーをと思い色々見た結果
中部から美ら海水族館などを網羅したツアーがあり
申し込みました。
朝から夜までのツアーでこの料金は安すぎじゃないかな？
ガイドさんも楽しい方で１日有意義に過ごせました。
次回は是非とももう一つのコースをお願いしたいと思います。

It was affordable and great for visiting famous tourist spots in Okinawa. At Pineapple Park, I ran out of time while exploring the grounds, so I skipped the tour and focused on juice tasting and shopping. This was my second visit to the Churaumi Aquarium, and it was impressive to see the manta rays and whale sharks swimming gracefully. Ocean Expo Park has various attractions besides the aquarium, so even three hours felt short. I think you could easily spend a whole day just exploring Ocean Expo Park.

沖縄の有名な観光場所を見て回るのには手頃で良かったです。
パイナップルパークは園内を回っていると時間がなくなるので、園内見学をパスしてジュースの試飲やショッピングに時間をあてました。
美ら海水族館は2回目ですが、マンタやジンベイザメが悠然と泳いでいるのは見応えがありました。海洋博公園は、水族館以外にも見るところがいろいろとあるので、3時間でも短いくらいでした。
海洋博公園だけでも一日見て回れると思います。

You can visit tourist spots efficiently, and the cost-performance is not bad. The guide was cheerful and the singing was good. There is enough free time at the tourist sites, so you can enjoy yourself thoroughly. I can recommend it for solo travelers.

無駄なく観光地を周れてCPも悪くは無いです。ガイドさんが明るくで歌も良かったです。それなりに観光地での自由時間があるので十分に楽しめます。一人で観光ならオススメできます。

Since it was my first time in Ishigaki Island, I read that island hopping is recommended, so I signed up, and I'm glad I did. Unfortunately, the weather was rainy, but it didn't get strong enough to affect the tour, so that was good.

初めての石垣島でどうせなら、島巡りがおすすめだと書いてありましたので、
申し込みして、よかったです。悪運で天気が雨でしたが、何とかツアーに影響するほど強くはならなかったので、よかったです。

The tour was really amazing. Mt. Fuji is majestic, and Ninja village was great. I had a great time in the ninja show. Our guide Mr. Yoshi was made our trip more fun, really nice and respectful.
I wish you would extend the time in each event.
Thank you

We used this for our honeymoon trip.

It was perfect for efficiently visiting the sights, especially for those who are new to Okinawa or don't have a driver's license. I wanted to take my time to see each place, but that can't be helped. It was great to have so much packed into the experience! The entrance fee was included, so it was a good deal. We spent a full three hours at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, but it felt like it wasn't enough because it was so spacious. For those who want to explore the northern part in depth, I recommend staying in the northern area instead of taking the tour (especially if you don't have a driver's license).

Having only an audio guide felt a bit lonely, and there were some interruptions in the audio, which was disappointing. But it was still better than having nothing at all.

新婚旅行で利用。

効率良く名所を回れて、沖縄が初めてという人や免許のない人にはもってこいです。
一つ一つゆっくり見たい感じもありましたが、それは仕方ないですね。
盛りだくさんで良かったです‼
入園料つきなのでお得でした。
美ら海水族館たっぷり3時間でしたが、広くて足りない感じです。
水族館含め、北部をじっくり見たい人はツアーではなく北部の方に宿を取るのをお勧めします。(免許無い人は)

音声ガイドだけというのは、少し寂しいのと、音声が途切れていたのでそれは残念でした。
でも全くないより良かったです。

Beauty of urban planning at its best, Tokyo's megalopolis is a well planned development for the world to emulate. Integrated transport system that is accessible to everybody creates an environment that encourages its people to walk creating a healthy populace.

Online booking was easy and easy to understand . Very easy to find the place to get the ticket. Skyhop has everything provided for. from the blankets with this cold winter days. Heat pads and the earphones. They have though of everything. It be nice with the translation they should add also Spanish, Italian and some other European languages.

My family and I had a fabulous time and really enjoyed the scenery. Couldn't ask for more.

Thank you for an enjoyable and wonderful trip.

I have traveled to Okinawa several times, and the one-day bus tour was comfortable without having to drive. I would like to use a tour for my next trip to Okinawa as well.

何回か沖縄旅行に来ましたが、1日バスツアーで運転せずに快適でした。次の沖縄旅行もツアーを利用したいと思います。

Despite the rain, I had a great time. During the cruising, it was clear when we could take off the vinyl sheet and when we couldn't, allowing us to see the mangroves properly. For the cycling on Taketomi Island, we were able to borrow rain gear. Since the weather wasn't favorable, I'm thinking of trying again for a second chance.

雨の中でしたが、楽しませていただきました。
クルージングでは、ビニールシートを取って良い時間もそうでない時間がはっきりしていて、しっかりとマングローブを見ることができました。
竹富島のサイクリングでは、雨具を貸していただけました。
お天気に恵まれなかったので、もう一度リベンジしようと思ってます。

The online registration and check in process was very smooth. We took the tour on a cold December day and they have provided covered bus option for certain times, which was great. For the double decker they have also provided hand warmers and blankets which were much appreciated. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The only improvement I would recommend would be to provide more historic information on the tour. Try this tour if you have limited time in Tokyo!

We visited Pineapple Park, Kouri Island, Churaumi Aquarium, Manzamo, and some souvenir shops. It was nice to receive mineral water for everyone and the local specialty, purple sweet potato tart. However, as soon as the bus arrived at the aquarium, there was a sudden downpour. Unfortunately, we didn't have enough rain gear prepared, and we ended up getting soaked walking from the parking lot to the entrance of the aquarium. While I reflect on our lack of preparation for rain gear, it would have been appreciated if the tour company had provided some solutions, such as rental umbrellas or disposable raincoats.

パイナップルパーク～古宇利島～美ら海水族館～万座毛～土産屋を回りました。人数分のミネラルウォーターと名物の紅芋タルトをいただけたのは良かったですが、水族館にバスが着くや、突然の大雨が。運悪く十分な雨具を用意しておらず、駐車場から水族館の入り口まで雨に濡れてずぶ濡れになってメインの水族館を回ることになりました。雨具の準備不足を反省するところではありますが、ツアー側でも救済策(レンタルの傘や使い捨てのレインコートなど)を用意していただけるとありがたかったです。

They are well organized, japoneze style, experienced guide, the food is really good. Fujisan is a symbol of Japan and all the respect for it........but if you’re coming from Central or Eastern Europe will be disappointed, whatever give a chance to this trip is absolutely worthy.... I recommend the coach rather than Shinkansen.... drivers they are impeccable!
