All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

I have wanted to visit Shirakawa-go for a long time, and I finally had the chance to participate. In Shirakawa-go and the Ainokura Gassho-zukuri village, my senses and appetite were fully satisfied.

In Shirakawa-go, I was very lucky to see the thatching work being done on the roofs. It was great to get a glimpse of what life was like in the past. We shared and tried the recommended Mitarashi dango, doburoku, and doburoku soft serve, and they were all delicious. The mountain delicacies for lunch were also tasty, no matter what we chose.

Some souvenir shops only accepted cash and did not accept electronic money. The Ainokura Gassho-zukuri village had a quaint atmosphere, which I personally liked. I thought it would be nice to live there.

I also enjoyed the experience of making senbei for the first time. Both sightseeing locations had just the right amount of time allocated for us, making for a very satisfying tour.

Thank you very much. I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

前々から白川郷に行きたくてやっとチャンスがきたので参加させていただきました。
白川郷や相倉合掌造り集落では五感、お腹を満たされ満喫できました。
白川郷では、丁度茅葺き屋根の葺き替え作業中でその様子を拝見できてとてもラッキーでした。また、昔の暮らしがどのようなものか見ることが出来て良かった。
おすすめのみたらし団子、どぶろく、どぶろくソフトクリームを姉妹でわけあい食べてみましたらとても美味しかったです。山の幸の昼食もどれを食べても美味しかったです。
お土産屋さんは現金のみで電子マネーなど使えないお店もありました。
相倉合掌造り集落はこじんまりとした佇まいでしたが個人的には好きです。住んでみたいと思いました。
せんべい焼き体験も初めてで楽しめました。
どちらの見学場所も私達には丁度の時間配分で良かったです。大満足のツアーでした。
ありがとうございました。
また、チャンスがありましたら参加させていただきたいと思います。

After arriving at Yakushima Airport on the day of the event, I participated in the Yakuzaru tour in the afternoon. Initially, I was scheduled to take a direct flight from Itami Airport to Yakushima, but that flight was canceled, so I had to change to a flight via Kagoshima at the last minute. I received a confirmation call the day before and another call on the day itself, which showed that they were attentive to my participation.

I traveled by taxi with two men who were also participating, making a total of five people including the driver. Since there were three of us in the back seat, it felt a bit cramped on the winding mountain roads. It was raining, but I was happy to be lent a large umbrella, as my small one wouldn't have been very useful.

It was great that the explanations were thorough both inside the car and outside.

当日屋久島空港へ到着後、午後からやくざる号へ参加しました。
当初、伊丹空港よりの直行便で屋久島入りする予定でしたが、欠便となり、急遽鹿児島経由で屋久島入りの便に変更になったので、前日確認の連絡と、当日もう一度連絡をいただき、参加の件で気にかけていただきました。
午前中より参加の男性2人と一緒、タクシーでの移動でした。
運転手さんも含め5人での移動でしたので、カーブが多い山道、後部座席3人はちょっと窮屈でした。
雨も降っていたのですが、大きな傘を貸していただけて自分の小さな傘では役に立たなそうだったので、嬉しかったです。
車内でも、外でも丁寧に説明していただけて良かったです。

I considered sightseeing with a rental car, but I wasn't very confident about driving in an unfamiliar area, so I signed up for this tour. It was a tour that efficiently covered the highlights of Okinawa. The guide and the driver were both pleasant, and I was able to have a great time. Thank you very much!

レンタカーでの観光も考えたのですが、知らない土地での運転にあまり自信がないので、このツアーを申し込みました。
沖縄の見どころを効率よく観光できるツアーでした。
ガイドさん、運転手さんも感じが良く、楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。
ありがとうございました

I enjoyed the scenery that I don't usually see while mingling with foreign tourists. I had fun getting off at various stops along the Blue and Red lines.

外国観光客に混ざりながら、日頃見られない景色を堪能しました。ブルー、レッドのコースを途中下車しながら楽しみました。

I participated in the 2:30 PM boat. It was cheaper than arranging it individually, so it was a good deal. After seeing the water buffalo, I rented a bicycle for an hour. Since I had to catch the return boat by 5 PM, it felt rushed. The second floor of the boat is hot like a sauna, so I recommend sitting downstairs in the summer. I'm glad I could leave my luggage.

14時30分の船で参加しました。個人で手配するより安く行けてお得です。水牛の後、自転車を1時間借りました。帰りの船が17時までに乗らないといけないので、時間が短くてバタバタでした。
船の2階はサウナのように暑いので、夏は下に乗るのがオススメ。
荷物を預けられて良かったです

Since I was traveling with my elderly mother and uncle and aunt, I chose this tour as it seemed manageable. Although the weather was unfortunately rainy at times, it was good to see that the elderly group was able to enjoy Ishigaki Island to some extent.

This tour may not be recommended for those who want to spend a lot of time at one location or for those looking to be very active, but I think it’s a good plan for those who want to efficiently enjoy Ishigaki Island.

後期高齢者の母と叔父・叔母夫婦を連れての観光だったので、あまり無理のなさそうなこのツアーを選びました。雨が降ったり止んだりの生憎の天気ではありましたが、高齢者御一行もそれなりに石垣島を堪能してくれたようで良かったです。
一箇所にたっぷり時間をかけて楽しみたいと言う人やアクティブに体を動かしたいと言う人にはオススメではないですが、効率的に石垣島を楽しみたいと言う人には良いプランだと思います。

I was able to visit Shirakawa-go, which I had wanted to go to for a long time. Unfortunately, there was little snow, but I was able to enjoy it at a leisurely pace. The tour was also smooth. I made a mistake with the lunch time, and the guide kindly came to find me while I was looking for it. I apologize for the trouble I caused. Thank you very much.

ずっと行きたかった白川郷に行けました。残念ながら雪は少なかったのですが、ゆっくり楽しめました。ツアーもスムーズでした。
ランチの時間を間違えていて、探しながら呼びに来てくださり、とても優しいガイドさんでした。その節はご迷惑をおかけしました。ありがとうございました。

The weather was not great, but we were attended to by a kind driver, and my elderly mother was satisfied. Thank you very much.

お天気はイマイチでしたが、親切な運転手さんに応対していただき、高齢の母も満足していました。ありがとうございました。

I thought there would be many inbound tourists in Hokkaido, but this time it was the worst. When I arrived at the tour reception desk, there was an unusual smell of garlic and a lot of noise. After finally checking in and boarding the bus, a Chinese mother with an infant was having a loud argument with the guide over seating. It seemed she didn't know that "infants should sit on laps" and was occupying an entire row of seats. When she was told about it, she got defensive.

The bus finally started moving, but the infant was right behind my seat, crying loudly throughout the tour. The mother didn't seem to be trying to soothe the child, and everyone on the bus appeared to be enduring the situation, but we were all at the mercy of this inconsiderate family. Fortunately, I had earplugs, but even so, the baby's cries echoed in my head, making it impossible to focus on the audio guide. Given the circumstances, all I could do was endure.

The natural tourist spots like Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya were surrounded by refreshing air and were wonderful, but as soon as we got off the bus, several chubby middle-aged Chinese men started smoking while walking and littering. It ruined the sightseeing experience. There were some people, like those from Singapore and Indonesia whom I got to know, who adhered to time and manners, but even knowing the cultural differences, it was still bothersome.

I've heard that the number of travelers from relatively nearby countries like China and South Korea has significantly increased recently. While inbound tourism is good, I hope that the minimum rules are followed at travel destinations. In that regard, I would like travel companies to think a little more about how everyone can enjoy their trips together.

北海道もインバウンドのお客さんが多いと思っていましたが、イヤハヤ今回は最悪でした。
ツアー受付窓口に着くと、周囲は異様なニンニク臭と喧騒です。
やっとチェックインを済ませバスに乗り込むと、乳児を連れた中華系の母親が席をめぐってガイドさんと大声でひと悶着やっています。
どうやら「乳児は膝の上」と言うことを知らずに席一列を占領しているようで、その事を注意され逆ギレしているようです。
どうにかバスは動き始めますが、その乳児は私の席のすぐ後ろで、ツアー中終止むづがり大声でギャーギャー泣く始末。
母親はあやす風でもなく、バス内は皆我慢しているようでしたが、この非常識な親子連れに振り回わされっぱなしです。
幸い私は耳栓を持っていましたが、それでも乳児の声は頭に響き、イヤホンガイドどころではありません。相手が相手だけにじっとガマンの一字です。
支笏湖や洞爺湖の自然豊かな観光地は爽やかな空気に包まれ、すばらしいものでしたが、ここでもバスを降りるや中華系の小太りの中年男性数人が「歩き煙草」で煙を撒き散らしはじめポイ捨て状態。せっかくの観光が台無しです。
中には知り合いになったシンガポールやインドネシア人のように時間やマナーをしっかり守る人達もいましたが、文化の違い？と判っていても迷惑な話です。
最近では比較的近い中国や韓国の旅行者が相当増えていると聞きます。
インバウンドも良いですが、旅行先では最低限のルールは守ってもらいたいものです。
その点では旅行会社もお互いが楽しく旅行が出来るように、もう少し知恵を絞って頂きたいと思います。

This was my third time in Okinawa, but I had never seen the beautiful ocean there, so I decided to join. Since I usually don't drive and wanted to enjoy some beer during lunch, I opted for a bus tour. There were few participants due to the season, and more than half were from overseas. The Churaumi Aquarium and Kouri Island were truly beautiful, and I'm glad I participated. I also thought the price was reasonable.

沖縄は3回目でしたが、沖縄の美しい海を見たことが無かったので参加しました。普段は自動車の運転をしていなしのと、ランチでビールを楽しみたかったこともあり、バスツアーにしました。時期的に参加人数は少なく、また半数以上は海外の方でした。美ら海水族館も古宇利島も本当に美しくて参加して良かったと思います。料金もリーズナブルだと思いました。

I can recommend the hop on/off bus. Gives a heap way to see the city and sites.

I booked this tour because of the promised visit to the butterfly farm and Churaumi aquarium. But on the tour I’ve realized that it doesn’t include butterfly farm since April 2019 even though it is still in the program.. We stopped in a few shops for tourists (including pineapple farm that suits kids) till we got to the aquarium after 4.5 hours on the road (direct driving on highway from Naha takes about an hour to there). In aquarium we were given 3 hours but I needed 4-5 hours to see other facilities as well. The place is huge and 3 hours would be enough only to see the aquarium.
On the way back we stopped again in the place selling local sweets for tourists, when most of these sweets can be found at the airport so it was waste of time again.. we were only 6 people on a cloudy day of the rainy season so I returned to Naha at 6 p.m (last drop off) but I can imagine that the way back can take 2 hours more just for dropping off every participant in different locations..

It was a tour with many foreign tourists participating. There were few Japanese people, so I was a bit worried at first, but they kept to the schedule and weren't overly loud, which made it refreshing and enjoyable. The Churaumi Aquarium had a comfortable stay of three hours, allowing us to enjoy the whale shark and dolphin shows. It was a good tour that efficiently covered various places.

外国人観光客が多く参加していたツアーでした。
日本人が少ないので最初ちょっと心配でしたが時間も守りますし、大騒ぎするわけでもなかったので、逆に新鮮で楽しめました。
美ら海水族館は滞在時間3時間で余裕があり、ジンベイザメやイルカのショーを楽しめました。
色んな所を効率よく周れて良いツアーでした。

I was able to efficiently visit three islands and had a wonderful time. The water buffalo cart was very cute and impressive, and the sea viewed from the glass-bottom boat was beautiful.

効率よく3島めぐりができ、楽しい時間を過ごさせていただきました。
水牛車がとても可愛くて印象的で、グラスボートから覗く海は綺麗でした。

For 3200 yen, it was a tour that felt cheap. The story from the beautiful guide, who claims to resemble Rosanne, was so enjoyable that even though I left home at 5 AM and was sleepy, I was wide awake because the stories were interesting. Once we entered the forest, she caught and showed us a rare lizard, and even tried to catch a snake, which was amusing. She was a bright and beautiful guide. By the way, she mentioned that she is a classmate of the mayor of Ishigaki.

3200円では、安いと思えたツアーでした。自称ロザンヌ似のキレイなガイドさんのお話が楽し過ぎて朝5時に家を出て参加した、眠たい私でしたが、話が おもしろいので、目が覚めました。山林にはいると、珍しいトカゲを捕まえて見せてくださったり、蛇まで、つかもうと笑っ
明るい美人のガイドさんでした。ちなみに、石垣市長と同級生だそうです。

It was cloudy and rainy during the rainy season, but it was a great experience to visit famous tourist spots. The delicious food and singing on the dinner cruise, along with the night view (including the luxury cruise ship), were wonderful!

曇り、雨の梅雨空でしたが、有名な観光地を巡れて良い体験となりました。
ディナークルージングでの美味しい料理と歌、そして夜景(豪華客船も)が良かった❗️

I applied two days ago.
The next morning, I received an email confirming the arrangements.
On the bus, the guide shared information about Kanazawa and Shirakawa-go while I dozed off, gathering information.
It was a chilly day with rain. During our free time in Shirakawa-go, I warmed up by soaking in a hot spring (it was convenient since it was our lunch spot; the bathing fee was 600 yen and the towel was 150 yen).
I think the time allocation was just right.
In Gokayama, we only visited the Ainokura village, but I was able to stroll quietly through the village.
The guide also provided explanations about other villages from the bus window, allowing us to enjoy the experience without any prior research.

2日前に申し込みしました
翌日の朝には手配完了のメールがありました
車内ではガイドさんが、金沢のや白川郷の情報をお話しがありうとうとしながら情報収集
雨で肌寒い日でした。白川郷での自由行動では、温泉に入り温まりました（昼食場所だったので楽でした入浴料600円タオル150円でした）
時間配分も丁度いいとおもいます
五箇山では相倉集落のみですが、静かに集落を散歩することが出来ました
車窓からほかの集落の説明もしていただき、下調べなしで楽しめました

The guided tour picks up at Ikebukuro or Shinjuku station. Our tour guide was Nobu and he was quite wonderful! The bus ran right on time. It wasn't full for the day we chose because it was an overcast day. Mount Fuji peeked out of the clouds for just a moment while we were at the top so we got to see it!! It was awesome!! The tour hits up the Mt Fuji 5th station shop, includes a lunch at a French restaurant (with special accomodations for the vegetarian in our group). You get a $3 souvenir or ice cream voucher too. The cruise on the lake was the best part! If I was making a suggestion, the top of Mt Fuji and the amusement park could be 15 minutes longer and the lake area could be 30 minutes less in exchange. Other than that it was the absolute best and I would recommend to anyone!

The tour was good. I enjoyed.
I like that during the bus the guide was talking about some interesting things about Japan.
During the Cruise in Lake Ashi, you only can see Mt. Fuji almost when you have to leave de ship. I think this is not a good lake, a better one its the lake next to the Ashi Lake.
The lunch was very tasty but too small. I could eat more.
They have no pick up and drop off service from Asakusa area.
The tour was OK.

Every thing was out standing. Six of us. Guide was also v good. Even whether was in our favour.

It was drizzling, but the rain stopped at the location and the scenery was amazing. The guidance was also very good. I would like to use this service again on another occasion.

小雨でしたが現地では雨が止んで景観が最高でした。案内も非常に良かった。またの機会で利用したいと思います。

The Churaumi Aquarium was enjoyable to explore at a leisurely pace, and we were able to take proper restroom breaks. It was truly a valuable tour. I think it's a tour that can be enjoyed whether you're alone or with a few people.

美ら海水族館もゆっくりと回れたし、トイレ休憩もちゃんと取れたし、本当に価値あるツアーでした。一人でも数人でも楽しめるツアーだと思います。

The weather was nice, so I was able to fully enjoy it. The bus guide's stories were also fun, so I didn't get bored on the bus. Since it was my first trip to Okinawa, I really enjoyed this packed tour. Next time I go, I think I would like to rent a car and take my time visiting the places I liked.

お天気が良かったので満喫できました
バスガイドさんの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
次に行く時は気に入った場所にレンタカーを借りてゆっくり行きたいかなぁと思います

The impact of the heavy rain disaster in May and the onset of the rainy season, along with unstable weather and delays at the time of departure, filled me with anxiety as I set off for Yakushima. Arriving at Yakushima Airport was a miracle, especially since it was a connecting flight. It was also miraculous that the mountain bus service resumed on the day of trekking, and despite heavy rain the night before, the weather was clear that day—truly a miraculous start to the trekking adventure.

However, I felt a sense of reassurance from the words of our guide, Shimozono-san, who said, "It will be fine. Let's do our best to go as far as we can."

On the day of the trek, I teamed up with my friends and two young women, making a group of four. "Today is the best," said Shimozono-san. With the June sunshine filtering through the deep green foliage, even though we were sweating, the breeze was refreshing. He helped us manage our pace as trekking beginners, and we successfully reached Jomon Sugi. The miso soup he prepared for our lunch was comforting.

We also took many great photos. Although I had continuously declined invitations to trek to Jomon Sugi, the sense of accomplishment of "I did it too" was overwhelming. Thank you so much for the wonderful memories.

５月の豪雨災害の影響と梅雨へ突入、地元出発時の気象の不安定と大雨で遅延と条件付きと、不安材料満載の中で屋久島へ出発となりました。屋久島空港に到着も奇跡、しかも乗り継ぎで。トレッキング当日に登山バス運行が再開となったのも奇跡、前日は夜間も大雨だったのに当日は晴れたのも奇跡で、ホントに奇跡尽くしのトレッキングの始まりでした。
しかし、前日にガイドのシモゾノさんからの「大丈夫でしょう。行けるところまでがんばってき行きましょう。」というお言葉になぜか安心感がわきました。
当日は友達と、他に二人の若い女性との４人でトライしました。「今日は最高だよ」とシモゾノさん。６月の晴れ間で深緑の隙間から光がさし、汗をかいても風が涼しく、長ーい道のりをトレッキング初心者の４人のペース配分して下さり、無事に縄文杉までたどり着くことが出来ました。用意してくださった昼食のお味噌汁浸みました。
いい写真もたくさん撮れました。
誘いを拒否しつづけてきた縄文杉トレッキングでしたが、「私でも出来た」という達成感は半端なかったです。
良い思い出を本当にありがとうございました。

What I love the most about the trip is our tour guide. Kana did an awesome of explaining and lifting the spirit of everyone on the tour.

We got lucky; the weather was nice! We were able to see and admire the majestically beautiful Mt. Fuji. Our very energetic tour guide, Blair, has provided the entertainment we needed while on the bus. Hence, our trip has become more fun and memorable. We are sure to revisit!!

I participated with a friend. We chose to bike around Taketomi Island! We were able to explore very efficiently from morning until evening! If you're wondering which island tour to join from Ishigaki, I definitely recommend this tour!

Biking on Taketomi Island might be tough during the humid rainy season, haha. A bus might be better. The roads on Taketomi Island have a lot of sand, making it difficult to pedal and quite challenging.

私は、友達と2人で参加しました。竹富島は自転車を選択しました！！
朝から夕方まですごく効率よく、回れました！石垣でどこの離島ツアーに参加しようか迷ってる人はぜひこのツアーを！おすすめです！！

竹富島の自転車は、梅雨の蒸し暑い時期にはキツイかも？笑バスのほうがいいかもです
自転車も竹富島の道は砂が多く漕ぎづらく大変でした

If you want to efficiently explore the central and southern parts of Okinawa Main Island, this tour is very good. I chose a plan that included dinner and dancing because I wanted to learn as much about Okinawa as possible. It was quite a good deal!

沖縄本島の中部と南部を効率よく回りたいのならば、このツアーはとても良いです。
私は出来る限り沢山の沖縄を知りたかったので、夕食と踊りがつくプランにしました。なかなかお得でした！

I think this price is cheap for a round trip ferry from Ishigaki Port to Taketomi Island and a water buffalo cart ride! I was able to fully enjoy Taketomi Island by riding the water buffalo and renting a bicycle! The water buffalo was so cute!

水牛車と、石垣港から竹富島までの往復フェリーでこの価格は安いと思います！
水牛車に乗ったり、レンタサイクルをしたり、竹富島を満喫できました！
水牛が可愛いかったです！

It is highly recommended this tour of Fuji.

Mt. Fuji Fifth Station – It was cold with heavy rain in the trip to Mount Fuji. The tour guide was nice and caring. She was a Japanese with good spoken in English.

Lunch at Fuji-Q Highland was very great and the food was delicious. The environment in the restaurant in Fuji-Q Highland was nice and grand.

Cruise on Lake Kawaguchi & Fuji Panoramic Ropeway 
- We spent enough time in a boat at Lake Kawaguchi and Fuji Panoramic Ropeway. I enjoyed the trip and eating delicious soft serve ice cream.

Again, it was a Great tour! it was very convenient. 
I really enjoy the trip in Mt.Fuji 5th Station and Lake Kawaguchi Panoramic Tour and I will recommend to my friends to join this tour.
