All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

If you are lucky, you are gonna see the most beautiful scenery including lakes, Flower farm with Mount Fuji at the backdrop. The grape farm was so nice experience with sweet grapes.

Please check the weather before going. For vegetarians, veltra arranged special food for me.

We had not anticipated just how difficult it would be to get around Tokyo. This day trip gave us the opportunity to relax in a comfortable bus, and see the beautiful sights. We would most definitely do this tour again.

I stayed in Kanazawa for just two days on a rushed trip. Despite that, this tour perfectly fulfilled my wish to efficiently extend my visit to Shirakawa-go. The participants were a mix of Japanese and foreigners, and the tour guide's explanations in both Japanese and English during the bus ride were very rhythmic, precise, and engaging, keeping us interested throughout. The information provided was incredibly helpful during our free time at the destination.

Additionally, the seating arrangements on the bus and for lunch were well-prepared and organized, making everything run smoothly. Thanks to this, the participants, who were strangers at first, gradually started to chat, creating a warm atmosphere for a truly wonderful trip. Thank you very much, Kuroda-san.

Currently, I live overseas, but knowing that there are tour guides with such high language skills and excellent hospitality, I plan to recommend this tour to my acquaintances (foreigners) who will be visiting Japan.

金沢に２日だけ滞在の急ぎ足の旅でした。
そんな中、効率よく、且つ欲張って白川郷まで足を延したい希望をばっちり叶えてくれるツアーでした。
参加者は日本人と外国人が半々の感じでしたが、移動中のバスの中での添乗員さんの日本語と英語による説明はとてもリズムよく的確で、そして興味を引く内容で飽きることがなく、教えていただいた情報は現地での自由行動の際にバッチリ役立ちました。
また、バスの席順、昼食の席などの案内も、きちっと準備・段取りがされていて、本当に何事もスムーズでした。そのお陰で、見知らぬ者同士だった参加者たちとも徐々に会話が弾み、温かい雰囲気での大変素敵な旅となりました。黒田さん、大変、お世話になりました。ありがとうございます。
現在、海外で暮らしているのですが、これほど語学のレベルも高く、おもてなし上手な添乗員さんがいると知ったので、これから日本へ観光に行く知人たち(外国人）にもこのツアーを紹介しようと思います。

I've been wanting to visit Yakushima for a long time! I was unsure whether to join a tour, but it turned out to be a great decision!

I think it took about 10 and a half hours round trip to Jomon Sugi, including breaks and meals, but it was nice not having to manage my own pace.

The trail was somewhat monotonous since we followed the same route both ways, which made it mentally challenging at times, but thanks to the guide's explanations and conversations, I was able to enjoy the journey!

Regarding the group composition, the participants had varying levels of fitness. However, they maintained a steady pace while also taking care of those who were struggling, which provided some reassurance. That said, since it’s a long trek, I think it's essential to do some exercise beforehand to prevent injuries.

Thank you for this experience!

前々から行きたかった屋久島旅行！
ツアーに参加するかどうか迷いましたが参加して大正解でした！

縄文杉までは休憩・食事も入れて往復10時間半程度だったかと思いますが、自身でペース配分をしなくて良い分気楽に行けました。

また往復で同じルートで登山としては単調な道が多いので、飽きがきてメンタル的に結構辛いのですが、ガイドの方の説明や会話のおかげで楽しく行程を終えられました！

編成チームについては、参加者の体力はまばらでした。ただペースを守りつつ、体力に余裕が無い方のケアもしてくれるのである程度は安心かなと思います。とはいえ長丁場ですので、怪我予防のためにも事前に運動しておくのは必須かなとおもいます。

今回はありがとうございました！

The time for the tour was well allocated, so I was able to relax. There were many foreign visitors, which also helped me practice my English.

見学の時間がしっかり確保されていたので、ゆっくり過ごせました。
外国の方も多いので、英語の勉強にもなりました。

It had been about 30 years since my middle school graduation trip, and I came to Kyoto again to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. We had a full itinerary of places we wanted to visit, and we enjoyed a leisurely sightseeing experience together as a couple, creating wonderful memories of our trip to Kyoto. The guides were very friendly, checking in on everyone in the tour and engaging in conversation, which was great. The driver also kindly said, "Have a good time" and "Welcome back," making our sightseeing experience very pleasant.

I look forward to visiting Kyoto again! Thank you!

中学の卒業旅行以来約30年ぶりの京都で、また結婚30年記念で京都に来ました。
行きたかった所満載で、夫婦でのんびりと観光させていただき、とても良い京都旅行の思い出になりました。
ガイドさん達もツアーの皆さんに所々で気にかけ、話しかけたりと、とても気さくな感じで良かったです。運転手さんも『いってらっしゃいか。お帰りなさい。』と声かけしてくれて心地よく観光出来ました。

また京都に行った時にはよろしくお願いします！
ありがとうございました！

It was an amazing experience despite the heavy rain, as the local staff did their best to accommodate us, allowing us to enjoy ourselves. The content was very satisfying and truly captured the essence of Okinawa.

すごい雨でしたが、現地担当の方たちが出来る限りの対応を考えてくださり、おかげ様で楽しむことができました。沖縄らしさが満喫できる大満足の内容でした。

I participated in this tour because I wasn't confident about driving in an unfamiliar place during the busy season in August while traveling alone. At the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, the time was a bit short and it felt rushed, but I was glad to be able to visit various places in one day.

1人旅で、8月の混雑期に知らない土地での車の運転は自信が無かった為、コチラのツアーに参加しました。
美ら海水族館ではちょっと時間が短く、バタバタでしたが、1日で色々な所が回れて良かったです。

The guide was very attentive, allowing us to have a fulfilling day on the bus tour. Thank you very much for your help.

ガイドさんが
丁寧だったので充実したバスツアー
の1日を過ごせました。
大変お世話になりました。

Mount Usu was shrouded in thick fog, and while we took the ropeway to the summit, we couldn't see the crater or Lake Toya. At Lake Shikotsu, strong winds caused the sightseeing boat to be canceled. Although the tour is affected by the weather, there were many great sights to see, such as Showa Shinzan and the Shikotsu Lake Visitor Center. The foot bath at Lake Toya was very pleasant. On the bus, we could listen to various sightseeing explanations in four languages through headphones, which kept us entertained. I think it would be an amazing tour if the weather is good.

有珠山は霧が濃くロープウェイで頂上迄は行きましたが火口も洞爺湖も見られず。支笏湖では風が強くで水中観光船が欠航でした。天気に左右されるツアーではありますが、昭和新山や支笏湖ビジターセンターなどが観光出来て良かったものも沢山。洞爺湖では足湯が気持ちいい。バスの中では色々な観光説明が4ヶ国語でヘッドフォンで聞くことが出来るし退屈しなかった。天気が良ければ最高のツアーだと思います。

It was more enjoyable than I expected, and I had a fulfilling day blessed with good weather. I knew that fit individuals were participating in this course, so I was a bit nervous at the start. The initial pace was fast, and I worried about keeping up, but our guide managed the walking time and breaks well, allowing us to walk comfortably in the end.

We visited Shiratani Unsuikyo → Taiko Rock → Jomon Sugi in that order. Since we came to Yakushima with the goal of seeing Jomon Sugi, it was the perfect order for our group to see it last. Along the way, we received a lot of energy from the guide's stories, photo opportunities, and the power of nature, making it an exciting and thrilling 11-hour trek. The sense of accomplishment was incredible. I highly recommend this for anyone wanting to experience nature in a day. Thank you, guide Shinmura.

期待以上に楽しく、天気に恵まれ充実した一日でした。
このコースは健脚の方が参加しているとしり、初めはドキドキのスタートでした。
初めのペースが速く着いていけるかと途中心配もしましたが、ガイドさんが歩く時間、休憩と上手にとってもらい、結局は余裕をもって歩くことが出来ました。
今回は白谷雲水峡→太鼓岩→縄文杉の順で回りました。
縄文杉を目的に屋久島に来たので、最後に縄文杉は私たちグループにとっては最高の順番でした。
途中のガイドさんの話や、写真撮影、大自然のパワーをたくさんもらい、終始ウキウキ、ワクワクの１１時間のトレッキングでした。達成感も半端ないです。１日で大自然を感じたい方、お勧めです。ガイドの新村さんありがとうございました。

The guide was very kind and it was great. The timing at each stop was just right, and the bear ranch was a lot of fun. I also enjoyed a delicious lunch. It was a pity that we couldn't ride the boat due to bad weather, but we still had a good time even with the clouds.

ガイドさんがとても親切で良かったです。各停留場所の時間も丁度よく、熊牧場がすごく楽しかったです。昼食も美味しくいただきました。悪天候につき船に乗れなかったのが残念でしたが曇りでも楽しめました。

I was the only American that day on the bus but they provided me with a translator radio which explained the areas we drove through in English so I learned a lot about the areas along the beautiful coastal drive leading to the Aquarium.

The hotel where I had lunch had a very nice bath. Due to the short time, I could only soak a little, but there was a stylish shampoo bar, and I wanted to try the service that lets you enjoy shampoos from various brands.

お昼をいただいたホテルのお風呂がとても素敵でした。時間が短いためつかるだけでしたがおしゃれなシャンプーバーがあり各社のシャンプーが楽しめるサービス利用してみたかったです。

The tour guide Akreti-Aki was really helpful and very nice The foods was good. Overall very much satisfied.

First of all, the Guide does not speak english and doesn't even recognize me speaking japanese to her. Instead of talking at all to me, she just pointed to everything. She smiled and talked to the other participants, but couldn't even try to smile with me.
We drove 3 hours to pick up other participants and than had 40 minutes in the Pineapple Park. We rushed through it and had only 5 minutes left, when we arrived in the souvenir shop, i had no time to try anything or buy anything. Than we had 50 minutes in a shopping mapp in which we didn't even go inside, instead we went to the sandwich store infront, because they had coupons for it, for everybody to have one bad sandwich. We decided to have Okinawa noodles at that place and payed a bit more. Then we arrived in the aquarium, 3 hours are not enough at all for this huge place. It is so beautiful and there is a whole park around it with more museums and tropical gardens around it. Again i rushed through it. In the end we stopped at a sweet potato souvenir shop to buy stuff and then 3 hours getting everybody back.
The Pineapple Park is nice, cute and a bit bizarr, but 40 min are definitly not enough, the Aquarium is awesome, but 3 hours is not enough.
We spent more time wasting time with picking up people and eating bad sandwiches than with the main events. And the guide is only nice to japanese people. The english translator device is also bad, you don't understand anything and it has that disturbing cracking sound.
I am not satisfied with the tour.
I am satisfied with Pineapple Park and Aquarium which are definitly worth seeing it, but better go there by yourself. :(

Since there is no seat assignment, I was sitting next to strangers. The guide was efficient, but there was a lot of pressure; if anyone was even a minute late for the meeting time, they would leave without them. People in the back seats were even saying, "Is this a military operation?" The course covered all the tourist attractions, which was great.

座席指定ではないのでしらない人と隣同士
ガイドさんはテキパキしてるといえばいいが集合時間に１分でも遅れたら置いてくとかとにかく圧がすごかった。後ろの席の人達も軍隊かよ！と言ってました。
コースは観光名所を網羅していて良かった。

This tour is spent mainly on the bus. The stops are not more than 30 mins. The lunch place was awful with no atmosphere. Due to mist the cable car and boat trip was a waste of time.

This was my first trip to Okinawa, and I participated in a day trip bus tour. Our guide, Yuki, enthusiastically introduced the scenery and sang Okinawan songs, which I really enjoyed.

初めての沖縄旅ですが、バスツアーで日帰り旅参加しました。ユキちゃんというガイドさんが景色を熱心紹介と沖縄歌を熱唱がとても楽しんでました。

I had a great time efficiently visiting three remote islands for the first time. I was able to enjoy sightseeing without feeling rushed.

During the ferry ride, I was on the deck, but the wind was quite strong, so it might have been better to sit inside. I was satisfied with exploring Taketomi Island freely by renting a bicycle.

初めての離島を3島を効率よく回れて楽しかったです。時間もせわしないこともなく観光ができました。
移動時間のフェリーではデッキにいたので風がすごすぎるため、中に座った方が良かったかもしれないです。竹富島はレンタサイクルで自由に散策できて満足でした。

I think it was a good decision to use a sightseeing bus that allows you to sleep during the journey, as attractions in the central region, like the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, take quite a bit of time to reach from Naha City. Especially since the Ocean Expo Park, where the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium is located, is large and can be tiring to explore.

Additionally, it unfortunately rained on the day of our visit, but it was great that there was a course that could still be enjoyed even in the rain.

美ら海水族館など中部の観光地は、那覇市内から行くと結構時間がかかるので、移動中寝ていても大丈夫な観光バスを利用して正解だと思いました。特に、美ら海水族館がある海洋博公園は広くて疲れるので、なおさらです。
また、当日はあいにくの雨となりましたが、雨でも楽しめるコースとなっていて、良かったです。

This is a great option for those who do not have cars, but still want to see the Okinawan sites. This is a great alternative to get around, although the time at each place was tight and we couldn't spend as much time at each location as we wanted, we had a lot of fun following along the tour. Everyone on the tour was also very nice and accommodating.

Unfortunately the traffic heading to My Fuji was very bad which meant the rest of the day was a crush to keep the schedule. Weather was also against us. My Fuji and the cable car was a white out.

I was able to fully enjoy the northern part of Okinawa.

There are two trekking courses, and I chose the shorter one just in case, but it ended quickly. If you're young, the longer course should be fine.

Even though it was a weekday, the restaurant at the roadside station during lunch break was extremely crowded. The food was delicious, but the staff seemed overwhelmed, and the seating arrangements and clean-up were a bit sloppy. If you want to eat leisurely or look at souvenirs, it might be better to bring a bento or grab something from a nearby convenience store.

We had plenty of time at the Churaumi Aquarium, and I felt a bit restless for about an hour, but I think those who love aquariums or have children will be able to enjoy it at a relaxed pace.

沖縄北部をいっきに満喫できました

トレッキングは2コースあり、時間が心配で念のため短い方にしましたがすぐ終わってしまい、普通に若い方なら長い方でも大丈夫そうです。

平日でしたが、ランチ休憩の道の駅のレストランは激混みでした。おいしかったけど店員さんがキツそうで、席への案内や片付けがずさんです。
ゆっくり食べたい、お土産も見たい方はお弁当持参か近くのコンビニで済ませても良いかもしれません。

美ら海水族館の時間がたっぷりとられていて、1時間くらい持て余しましたが、水族館が好きな方やお子様連れの方には余裕をもって楽しめると思います。

The time allocation was just right. The bathroom breaks were also well-timed. The food was delicious. Mount Usu was breathtaking!

時間配分もちょうどよかったです。トイレ休憩もちょうどよかった。ごはんも美味しかった。有珠山が圧巻でした！

We were able to smoothly and enjoyably visit the sightseeing spots in the Shirahama area before our flight home. The guide was a local who knew the area well, making the conversation interesting, and they were very considerate. We were taken to must-see places and a delicious gelato shop, and I don't think we could have navigated everything so smoothly on our own, so I'm glad we requested this. Thank you very much for your help in the heat.

帰りの飛行機の時間までに白浜エリアの観光スポットをスムーズに楽しくみてまわる事が出来ました。
案内して下さった方が、地元の人でその土地のことをよく知っておられたので話も面白く、とても気使いのある人でした。
見ておくべきところやおいしいアイスのジェラートの店に寄ってもらったりして、自分達だけではこんなにスムーズに周れなかったと思いますので、頼んで良かったです。暑い中、本当にありがとうございました。

I thought it would be a busier tour, but I was able to take my time and really enjoy the mangroves. The guide's explanations were clear and enjoyable, which was great.

The view from Nishizaki Pier on Taketomi Island, which I've always dreamed of visiting, was just as wonderful as I expected, and I was very satisfied.

The Okinawa zenzai I had on Taketomi Island, with its fluffy ice and brown sugar syrup, was exquisite❣ I had a full day of fun.

もっと忙しいツアーかと思っていましたが、じっくりマングローブを見てきました。ガイドさんの説明も分かりやすく楽しくて良かったです。

憧れの竹富島、西桟橋からの眺めは思っていたとおりの素晴らしさ大満足です。

竹富島で食べた沖縄ぜんざい、フワフワの氷と黒糖シロップがぜんざいと絶妙❣ 1日たっぷり楽しめました

Skipped the trip of Owakudani .. my parents from India visited japan and they were very interested of Owakudani, but it was skipped and disappointed a lot. I had used same package trip myself and find satisfaction, but this experience with veltra was very poor and I doesn’t recommend or use it again

The sightseeing was as I expected. The guide was the only male, but he was a nice person. However, it was a bit disappointing that his speech seemed to be memorized and delivered in a monotonous tone, making it hard to understand, and his voice wasn't very clear. The driver was also pleasant. The meals were good, but they felt like standard set meals that you could find anywhere. They were better than bento boxes. The scenery at Kabira Bay changes with the weather. It might be amazing when the weather is nice.

観光は思って通りでした。
ガイドさんは唯一の男の方でしたが 感じいい方です。ただ喋りが 暗記されたことを 何度もしゃべっているためか、一辺倒のイントネーションで伝わりにくく 声も通らずで聞きずらいのが残念でした。
運転手さんも感じよかったですね。お食事は美味しいというか どこでも食べれる感じの定食です。
お弁当とかよりいいです。
川平湾はお天気で風景が変わりますね。お天気だと最高かも。

I participated in the same course two years ago, and it was so good that I decided to repeat it. It was indeed great again. It's more efficient and cheaper than going on my own. Additionally, the kindness of the guides and drivers is remarkable. It's not just about transportation; there are plenty of stories to learn from, making it educational as well. Thank you very much.

一昨年に、同じコースに参加し、とても良かったのでリピートです。
やはり良かったです。
自力で回るより効率的で、尚且つ安い。それにくわえて、ガイド、運転手の方々の親切。ただの移動でなくお話しも盛りだくさんなので勉強にもなります。ありがとうございました。
