All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

The weather was great, so I really enjoyed myself. The bus guide's attentiveness was wonderful, and the interesting stories unique to Okinawa made the bus ride enjoyable without any boredom. Since it was my first trip to Okinawa, I had a lot of fun on this packed tour.

お天気が良かったのでとても満喫できました
バスガイドさんの気配りが素晴らしく、沖縄ならでは興味あるお話も楽しくバスの中も退屈せずに済みました
沖縄旅行が初めてだったので、この盛りだくさんのツアーはとても楽しめました

I arrived at the airport for a solo trip from Osaka and signed up for the daytime tour on the same day. The female guide's explanations were precise, and she shared many interesting stories that I found engaging.

大阪からの一人旅で空港に着いてから昼のコースがあったので当日申込。女性ガイドさんの説明が的確で興味深い話が多く関心しました。

I participated with my younger sister. I work out at the gym twice a week, while my sister doesn't exercise at all, but thanks to the guide's consideration and pacing, we were able to enjoy trekking throughout!

The flight we were scheduled to take the day before was canceled, and the later flights were fully booked... However, we didn't give up and switched to a high-speed ferry, managing to get to Yakushima somehow.

The next day, the weather was clear, as if the rough weather from the previous day was a lie. The forest was cool, sparkling from the rain, and truly beautiful! The guide mentioned that "the forest today is in the best condition," and I completely agreed.

Our party, excluding the guide, consisted of five relatively fit members, but it was helpful that we took regular breaks. During lunch, we were served delicious miso soup.

Not only during breaks but also while walking, the guide shared various stories about Yakushima's history and the flora and fauna of the forest, which kept us engaged and made trekking enjoyable!

Additionally, since everyone in the party was energetic, we were pleasantly surprised to be taken to a beautiful river, which was a thoughtful gesture.

After trekking, we all high-fived and said our goodbyes cheerfully! Not only the weather but also having a wonderful guide and party made it a truly fantastic experience. Thank you very much.

妹と2人で参加しました。わたしは週2でジムで筋トレする程度、妹は普段全く運動をしていないですが、ガイドさんの気遣いやペース配分のおかげで、終始楽しくトレッキングできました！



前日昼すぎに着く予定の飛行機が欠航し、後便も満席… でしたが諦めきれず、高速船に切り替えてなんとか屋久島入りできました。

翌日は前日の荒天がウソのように晴れて、森の中は涼しく、雨上がりでキラキラしていて本当に美しかったです！ガイドさんが「今日の森は最高のコンディション」と仰っていましたが、その通りだと思いました。

ガイドさん除き5人のパーティで、比較的体力のあるメンバーでしたが、こまめに休憩を取っていただけて助かりました。お昼ご飯の時にはお味噌汁も振舞っていただき美味しかったです。

休憩中だけでなく歩きながら、ガイドさんが屋久島の歴史や森の動植物のことなど、色んなことをお話しして教えて下さったので、集中力を切らさず楽しくトレッキングできました！

またパーティが全員元気だったこともあり、サプライズで綺麗な川に連れていっていただけたのも、お心遣いが嬉しかったです。

トレッキング後はメンバーみんなでハイタッチして、爽やかにお別れしました！天気だけでなく、素敵なガイドさんとパーティに恵まれて、本当に素敵な経験になりました。ありがとうございました。

I signed up for a round-trip ferry and water buffalo cart tour. It's overwhelmingly more economical than purchasing separately. The water buffalo tour was well-guided, and above all, it was a special experience to leisurely explore the streets of Taketomi Island while enjoying the scenery from the cart. Be sure to sit at the front of the water buffalo cart! If you sit at the back, the buffalo will be far away, and it will be hard to hear the explanations.

フェリー往復と水牛車観光のツアーに申し込みました。
別々に購入するよりも圧倒的にお得です。
水牛観光はガイドさんの説明も上手で、なによりも竹富島の街並みを眺めながら水牛車でゆっくりと観光できるのは特別な時間でした。
水牛車には必ず前方に乗ってください！後方だと水牛が遠く、説明も聞きづらいです。

The super strong water buffalo can pull a cart with about 20 people. This time, I got to ride on a water buffalo named A-pa-kun! Its body was large and impressive, but it had big, round eyes and was very calm and adorable. The guide's performance on the sanshin was also wonderful. Additionally, the explanation about Taketomi Island was very informative! The townscape had a distinct Okinawan charm, and I was able to enjoy a relaxing time. I definitely want to participate again!

20人前後の人が乗った車を引くことができる超力もちの水牛さん。今回はアーパーくんという水牛の車に乗せてもらいました!体は大きくて迫力があるけれど、目がクリクリで大人しくてとても可愛かったです(^^)ガイドさんの三線の弾き語りも素晴らしかったです。また、竹富島についての説明もとても勉強になりました！
街並みも沖縄らしさがあり、のんびりとした時間が過ごせました。
ぜひまた参加したいと思います!!

Overall, it was an enjoyable trip. We had chance to see many nice places. The scenery was very nice at the place we had lunch.
The pineapple garden was really nice but we could have spent more time there. 40 minutes was not enough to explore the garden and do shopping. Unfortunately, we had to wait for a family for 25 minutes even though it stated that people who didn't arrive on time needed to go to the next destination by themselves.
Aquarium was good as well.

- In addition to the Churaumi Aquarium, we visited four other locations, and since all participants happened to be Japanese, we were able to stick to the schedule and had plenty of time at each place.
- Our veteran bus guide sang beautiful island songs using a shamisen and Okinawan castanets in the quiet bus.
- Last time, I also used a rental car and visited similar places, but this time I didn't have to worry about finding parking, and we were able to enjoy all five locations with a good time allocation and at a relaxed pace.

・美ら海水族館のほか4箇所に寄ったが、偶々参加者全員日本人だった為、集合が時間厳守で其々の場所で余裕があった。
・ベテランバスガイドさんが静かな車内で、三味線や沖縄のカスタネットを使い綺麗な声で島人の唄などを唄ってくれた。
・前回もレンタカーを使い、同じような処を観光したが駐車場を探したりせずに済み、全5箇所の時間配分良くゆったりと堪能出来た。

Recently, my travel pattern at beach resorts has been to tackle various experiential optional activities first, and then do the classic sightseeing on the last day. For this reason, this regular sightseeing bus was a great choice. The guide's stories and songs were excellent, and we didn't miss any of the famous landmarks. For lunch, we had a set meal with Ishigaki beef hamburger at a café. We arrived at the airport around 1:30 as planned. At this price, I would give it a perfect score of 100 points.

最近のビーチリゾートでの旅行パターンは、

このため、この定期観光バスは大正解でした。
ガイドさんの話・歌は上手いし、名所・旧跡は
全て外さず、昼食もCAFEで石垣牛？ハンバーグ

これでこの金額なら100点満点です。

Cape Hedo and the Great Stone Forest are far from Naha and difficult to visit individually, so I was very satisfied with the tour bus that took us around. Since the tour is mainly free time, there's absolutely no problem participating alone!

辺戸岬や大石林山は那覇からは遠く個人では行きにくい場所なのでツアーバスで巡れてとても満足です。自由行動が基本なので１人参加でも全く問題無し！

The glass boat was new and looked beautiful, and the water buffalo were very cute; I felt relaxed while listening to their songs. I had a lot of fun for this price. The transition from the glass boat to the water buffalo cart was very smooth. Thank you very much!

グラスボートも、最新で綺麗に見え、水牛はとってもかわいく歌を聞きながら癒されました。
このお値段でたっぷり楽しめました。
グラスボートから水牛車までもとってもスムーズに案内していただきました。ありがとうございました❗❗

It was a tour that exceeded my expectations. The scent of lavender was soothing, and the beautiful flower fields were lovely. It was a bus tour filled with photogenic spots.

期待以上のツアーでした。ラベンダーの香りに癒され、可愛いお花畑が広がり美しかったです。フォトジェニックなスポット満載のバスツアーでした。

The guide was thorough and provided a great service, showcasing Okinawan songs and dances. The course was well-organized, highlighting the key attractions and was definitely worth it.

ガイドも手抜きなく又、沖縄の唄や踊りを披露してくれサービス満点でした。
コースも見どころを上手くまとめていて値打ちあり。

I enjoyed the performance that the guide creatively put together. More than that, the casual conversation felt fresh to someone from outside the prefecture, and I felt like I was able to experience Okinawan culture, which was wonderful. Thank you very much.

ガイドさんが工夫をこらしたパフォーマンスで楽しめました。それ以上に世間話が県外の小生には新鮮で沖縄の文化に触れた気がしてとっても良かったです。ありがとうございました。

The trip went very smoothly. Levin our tour guide was a knowledgable , professional and excellent communicator. He is a great asset.

The driver and guide were both excellent. We got to see My Fuji despite cloud cover. Levin and the driver saw an opportunity to view the mount and took it. If we waited for the "normal" stop we would have missed the view ( like the majority of other tours).

The lunch that was provided at the Ninja village was great. There was plenty of local food and the service was very good.

The trips to the 5 lakes was excellent. The flight simulator was also a real hoot.

Overall the organisation and events were excellent. A great experience.

My family (3 adults, 2 children) had an incredible time during this tour which was individualized for us based on our requests and preferences. Our guide Takashi was extremely knowledgeable, spoke excellent English and taught us so much about not only Mt. Fuji but Japan and Japanese culture. Additionally, Takashi’s broad international knowledge and understanding provided an added perspective and important context on Japan’s place globally today. Our driver Toshi was also excellent and entertaining and because of his understanding of weather patterns on the mountain, we made 2 critical stops along the way that allowed us to see the peak despite some poor weather conditions overall. Takashi took us to an incredible restaurant for lunch, a meal that all of us enjoyed and none of us will forget. An incredible trip overall which was made even better by the connection we made with our guide Takashi. On a personal note, I left my phone in the vehicle and Takashi & Toshi ensured that it was returned to me the same evening! It was much appreciated! I would highly recommend this private tour and ask for Takashi!

The meeting place was hard to find. The bus didn't arrive until the last minute. The seats were reserved. The itinerary progressed almost on time, and the guide's instructions were good; the ride was enjoyable. It rained in the afternoon, so the weather wasn't favorable, but it was very good for bus travel. I would like to use this service again if I have the opportunity. Thank you for your assistance.

集合場所がわかりにくかった。バスはギリギリにならないと来なかった。席は指定席でした。ほぼ時間通りに行程が進み、ガイドさんの案内も良く、車中は楽しかったです。午後から雨で天候には恵まれませんでしたが、バス移動のため大変良かったです。また、機会があれば利用したいと思います。お世話になりました。

I was able to efficiently visit the attractions of the islands. We crossed to Yubu Island on a water buffalo, but water flowed into the seats, so I recommend participating with shoes that can get wet. The water buffalo was very cute (*^^*). On Taketomi Island, I chose the cycling plan. I went to look for star sand, but it seemed like many had already been collected, so I couldn't find as much as I expected (^^; Also, I got lost on the way back to the bicycle rental shop and was worried about making it back in time for the meeting, so I think those who are not confident in their sense of direction should allow extra time on the way back. It was a very enjoyable tour!

効率よく、島々の見所を観光できました。由布島まで水牛に乗って渡るのですが、水が座席にまで流れ込んできますので濡れてもいい靴での参加をオススメします。水牛がとっても可愛かったです(*^^*)竹富島ではサイクリングプランを選択しました。星の砂を探しに行ったのですが、もうたくさん拾われてしまったのか、思ったよりも見つかりませんでした(^^;また、自転車レンタル店舗へ戻るまでの道に迷い、集合に間に合うか焦ってしまったので、方向感覚に自信の無い肩は帰り道は時間に余裕を持って行動した方がいいと思います。とても楽しいツアーでした！

On the morning of the day, I took the first ANA flight from Haneda straight to Hokkaido! The weather in Hokkaido that day was really nice! This tour departed from Sapporo Station Bus Terminal at 9:30, so I was able to make it in time, and the fully booked bus set off safely!

The lunch at Highland Furano was cheese fondue and hamburger. The portion was just right, and the cheese was cut into a bread bowl, which was cute! The hand-formed hamburger was juicy and delicious! If there are two participants, you might share a table with four people, but it wasn't a problem at all. The male owner was smiling and very pleasant!

The lavender sea here was easy to navigate and the timing was just right. Shikisai no Oka was crowded, but the Moroccan tractor ride was quite bumpy and thrilling, which was fun. Those with back issues might want to be cautious (laughs).

The Blue Pond was truly beautiful and did not disappoint! It was mystical! I was amazed by the colors created by nature! I was told that this day had the strongest blue hue recently. The colors change depending on the day, which I think is part of the charm of nature.

Farm Tomita is very spacious and full of attractions! There are colorful fields, forest-colored fields, traditional lavender fields, flower fields, and fields of happiness, etc... it's just so vast (laughs).

The weather was great, and the gentle breeze was pleasant. The timing was well managed, and the manners of the participants were good, making it a very satisfying bus trip. Thank you very much.

当日朝羽田発ANA始発便で一路北海道へ！
当日北海道はとてもよい天気！
こちらのツアーは9:30札幌駅バスターミナル出発だったので間に合うことができて、満席のバスは無事出発！
ハイランドフラノのランチはチーズフォンデュ！とハンバーグ
程よい量でパンをくりぬいたところにチーズが入ってて可愛い！
手ごねハンバーグも肉汁もたっぷりで美味しかった！2人参加だと4人席で相席になるかと思いますが、全然気になりません。オーナーさんの男性が笑顔でとても感じがよかです！
こちらのラベンダーの海は周りやすい広さで時間もちょうど良かったです。
四季彩の丘は混み合ってましたがらモロッコ号(トラクター)がなかなか揺れて迫力があり楽しかったです。腰の悪い方はちょっと控えたほうが(笑)
青い池は期待を裏切ることなくほんとにとっても綺麗！神秘的！自然の生み出す色にびっくり！
この日はここ最近で一番青みが強いですとのお話でした。日によっても違うのでそれも自然の醍醐味かと思います。
ファーム富田はとても広くて見所満載！
彩りの畑、森の彩りの畑、トラディショナルラベンダー畑、花人の畑、倖の畑、etc…とにかく広いです(笑)
とてもお天気が良くさらっとした風も気持ちよく美味しく、時間配分もよく、参加された方のマナーも良くて大満足なバス旅でした。
ありがとうございました。

The tour in Biei and Furano in July is fantastic. The flower fields at Shikisai no Oka and Farm Tomita are truly a carpet of flowers. The lunch was delicious, and the Blue Pond was lovely. It seems that the lavender and other flowers will be in full bloom in about a week, but we were very fortunate with the weather.

7月の美瑛、富良野、このツアーが最高です。
四季彩の丘、ファーム冨田の花畑は、本当に花の絨毯ですね。昼食も美味しく、青の池も素敵でした。
ラベンダーなど、あと一週間後が満開のようですが、天気にも恵まれて大変良かったです。

Two days ago, the mainland was in turmoil, and news of flooding in Sendai was reported the day before. Since I had to return to Tokyo on the last day of the tour, I was anxious until the morning of the tour. On the morning of the tour, Sapporo was unfortunately rainy, and I was worried about what was ahead, but I got on the bus. Once we got on the highway and arrived at our first destination, "Rokkatei" in Furano, I was relieved to see blue skies. I got some limited-edition sweets and, hoping the weather would hold, enjoyed a delicious lunch (cheese fondue and hamburger, plus Furano wine at an additional cost). Finally, we reached our long-awaited destination, the Blue Pond... The weather was still gloomy, but I was moved by the scenery I saw for the first time. I decided that I would definitely visit again on a sunny day. I hope everyone can experience this feeling too.

2日前から本土は大荒れで、前日の仙台では浸水の被害がニュースで流れていました。当日の最終日で東京に戻らなければならなかったので、ツアー当日の朝までドキドキして迎えました。当日朝、札幌は生憎の雨模様、先が心配でしたが、バスに乗り込みました。高速に乗り、最初の目的地富良野にある「六花亭」についた時は、青空が見えており、安堵しました。限定のお菓子をゲットし、このまま天気が持ってくれることを祈りつつ、美味しい昼食（チーズフォンドゥとハンバーグ　そして富良野ワイン（別料金））本土を堪能。いよいよ念願の目的地青い池...お天気はやはり下り坂でどんよりとしていましたが、それでも初めて見る風景に感動しました。そして、また絶対にお天気の良い日に訪れる事を決めました。是非皆さんにもこの感動を経験して欲しいです。

Since we didn't have much time, we chose a relatively quick tour. On the glass boat, we listened to explanations about the fish and coral while enjoying the view. We rode a water buffalo and explored the main street of Taketomi Island, and finally spent a little time at the beach. If we had arranged everything individually, it would have taken much longer, but since it was all set up, the transitions from the water buffalo to the bus were smooth. It was just as I expected, and it met my goals, so I'm satisfied. If you want to fully enjoy it, I think it's better to take your time and go at your own pace.

時間もなかったので、わりとさっと回れるツアーを選びました。ｸﾞﾗｽﾎﾞｰﾄでは魚やさんごの説明ききつつ、見て、水牛にのり竹富島の中心街をめぐり、最後にビーチでちょっと時間。個別に手配して回るともっと時間かかったと思いますが、セットになっていたのでベルトコンベアー式に水牛からバスなどスムーズでした。まあ思っていた通りで、目的通りなのでいいです。しっかり満喫したいなら時間をとって自分たちのペースで回ればいいと思います。

I participated in a course with lunch included from Osaka, visiting Fushimi Inari Taisha, Kiyomizu-dera, Kinkaku-ji, and Arashiyama. The outside temperature that day was 32°C. Since I was traveling with my elderly mother, I thought it was a good plan to efficiently tour the sights while comfortably riding on the bus.

I was surprised that at first, we were the only Japanese people on the bus... The tour guide initially explained in English and later in Japanese. Once we arrived in Kyoto, it was quite challenging to find other Japanese people; almost everyone around us was a foreign tourist. I wondered what country we had come to! There were conversations in Chinese, Korean, English, and Spanish?!

I had heard in recent news that Kyoto was becoming quite crowded, but I didn't expect it to be to this extent. It was a bit too much, and I felt it detracted from enjoying the atmosphere of Kyoto. However, I was impressed by how the bus guides were proficient in English and provided additional guides for those who didn't understand English, ensuring everyone was well taken care of. Overall, it was a fairly enjoyable trip.

伏見稲荷大社　清水寺　金閣寺　嵐山　お昼ごはん付コースで大阪から参加しました。
その日は外気温が32℃。
高齢の母と二人旅でしたので、効率よく　バスの中では快適に　観光地を巡るには良い企画だと思いました。　
びっくりしたのが、最初　日本人は私達二人だけ…バスの添乗員さんも最初は英語で後から日本語で説明をされていました。
京都へ着いたら、日本人を探すのが大変なくらい周りは　ほとんど海外の観光客。私達はいったい何処の国に来たのかしら？!と思うくらい。
中国語　韓国語　英語　スペイン語？！が飛び交っている
最近のNEWSでは京都が大変なことになっていることは知っておりましたが、ここまでとは…
ちょっと多すぎて　京都の風情を堪能する感じではなかったのが残念でした
しかしながら　バスの添乗員さんたちは　英語も堪能で英語がわからない国の方達には、別の添乗員さんをつけたりと　しっかりと対応していらっしゃるなぁと感心しておりました。
まずまず　楽しい旅行でした

It was the best tour that condensed all the places I wanted to see in one day! The time management was great, and my mother, who has trouble walking, was able to keep up just fine. It was a satisfying day! (^ -^)

1日で見たいところが凝縮されてる最高のツアーでした！時間配分もいい感じで、足の悪い母でも全然いけました。満足いく1日でした(^-^)

The Nakama River Mangrove Cruise features an open sightseeing boat, and the tropical river and sea breezes felt wonderful. The water buffalo cart on Yufu Island brought smiles and happiness to the faces of the guests. The water buffalo worked hard to cross the sea. Renting a bicycle on Taketomi Island was hot, but I was able to directly feel the atmosphere of the village. However, be cautious of traffic accidents, as light vehicles can come out of intersections quite suddenly.

仲間川マングローブクルーズは、オープンの観光船で、熱帯の川風、海風が気持ちがよかった。
由布島の水牛車は、お客さんの顔はハッピーという笑顔があふれてました。
水牛が頑張って海を渡ってゆきました。
竹富島のレンタサイクル。暑かったが、村の雰囲気を肌に直に感じることができました。ただし、交通事故要注意。交差点から軽四が勢いよく出てきたりする・・

I wanted to visit Daishi Forest Mountain, but since I'm not good at driving, I chose this tour. I was very satisfied with the result.

大石林山に行ってみたく、しかし運転が苦手だったためこのツアーを選択しました。
結果とても満足できました。

It was a trip for four: my 93-year-old mother, my daughter, and my two daughters-in-law. This was our first trip together since my mother fractured her femur three years ago. Thank you for considering my mother's mobility issues and for taking photos at the right spots. We truly appreciate your help. Thank you very much.

93歳の母と娘と嫁二人の四人旅でした。
三年前に大腿骨骨折してから、始めての四人旅でした。足が不自由の母の為色々考えて頂き、写真も適所で撮ってくださり、本当にお世話になりました。ありがとうございました。

Very friendly and helpful tour guide!

An efficient and good way to see the Tokyo highlights.

Japanese punctuality and attention to detail, all in a very simple and unassuming way. Great experience and very well paced and organized.
We were an eclectic crowd and the guide was even discreet enough to just act surprised when somebody asked her why Japanese “Fuji” water was exported to the United States and never drank by the japanese. I think she confused Fiji water with the water from Mount Fuji. Oh lord!...The guide was marvelous and discrete by saying she did not know....

After arriving at Taketomi Island, we first took a bus for a tour around the island. After visiting two beaches, we arrived at the Taketomi Tourist Center. We took a ride on a water buffalo, but it seemed to have a mind of its own, which took quite a bit of time (laughs). The weather wasn't great, but we still had a decent time.

竹富島についた後、まずはバスで島内観光
ビーチを２か所回った後、竹富観光センターに到着
水牛で一回りしましたが、乗った水牛が気分屋らしくかなり時間がかかりました（笑）
天気はあまりよくなかったですが、まあまあ楽しめました。

I thought Shirakawa-go and Gokayama had the same scenery and feel, but I can't quite put it into words; the atmosphere was different. I liked Gokayama.
I thought the optional rice cracker grilling was unnecessary, but it turned out to be surprisingly fun.

白川郷と五箇山は、同じ風景、同じ感じと思っていましたが、うまく言葉では言えませんが雰囲気が違いました。私は五箇山が好きでした。
オプションのおせんべい焼きは、必要かと思いましたが、意外と楽しかったです。
