【ベストプライス】西表・由布・竹富島 日帰りツアー　マングローブ遊覧＋水牛車＋選べる竹富島での過ごし方（レンタサイクル他）＜1日／昼食付＞

I thoroughly enjoyed my time on the island! 島じかんを満喫しました！

Reviewed by: たいこ

Unfortunately, due to the cloudy sky, I couldn't see the blue of the southern sea and sky. However, I was able to fully enjoy the wonders of Iriomote, Yufu, and Taketomi Islands.

Among them, the stories from the guides on the boat, bus, and water buffalo were very charming. Their gentle way of speaking, with phrases like "grandma" and "grandpa," and their easy-to-understand explanations made it enjoyable.

What remains in my heart are the boats cutting through the wind over the forests and rivers, the sounds of the sanshin and singing, the Okinawan lunch, the gelato we ate on the beach, and picking up star sand at Kaiji Beach—there are so many memories.

I was especially excited to see the golden chrysalis (Papilio garamas) at the butterfly garden on Yufu Island.

While cycling around Taketomi Island, we explored the beaches and townscapes, and everywhere we went, we could feel the islanders' cherished way of life and culture that they have preserved.

If I ever have time again, I would love to participate slowly once more.

　残念だったのは曇り空のため、南の海と空の青さを見ることはできませんでした。しかし、西表・由布・竹富島の素晴らしさを満喫することができました。

中でも、ボートやバス、水牛のガイドさんたちのお話がとってもチャーミングです。「おばあ」「おじい」など、優しい響きの語り口や分かりやすい説明で楽しかったです。

心に残るのは、林と川の上を風を切って走るボートや、三線の音色や歌声、沖縄料理のランチ、浜辺で食べたジェラート、カイジ浜で星の砂を拾ったことなど、いっぱいいっぱいあります。

特に由布島の蝶園でみた黄金のサナギ（オオゴマダラ）には大興奮しました。

私たちは竹富島ではサイクリングをしながらビーチや街並みを見て回りましたが、どこに行っても島人たちが大切に守ってきた島の生活や文化を感じることができました。

いつか時間が出来たら、またゆっくり参加させて頂きたいと思います。

After much deliberation on whether to rent a car or book a pass individually, I decided to join an optional tour based on the recommendation of a friend who lives locally. This was a great decision. I was able to enjoy sightseeing at a relaxed pace without worrying about parking or the bus schedule for the return trip. The guide spoke both Japanese and English, and it seemed like the foreign guests were having a great time as well. This is a tour I can recommend to both foreigners and Japanese people.

外国人にも日本人にもおすすめできるツアーです。

縄文杉半日＋白谷雲水峡半日（太鼓岩まで） 2大トレッキングコースを日帰りで！ by 屋久島の輪

Thank you very much for your help. 大変お世話になりました。

Reviewed by: みちのく

The weather was bad, and my husband's foot condition worsened, so in the end, it turned into a tour focused solely on Jomon Sugi, but it was a very fulfilling experience. This is all thanks to our guide. Although we mentioned that we had some mountain climbing experience, our knowledge was that of beginners, so the guide taught us how to use trekking poles, and since it was just the two of us, they took many memorable photos at beautiful spots. Above all, the various stories shared were very interesting. I truly believe it was a wonderful tour. The next day, we went to Kumsoikyo on our own, and we were able to take our time on the round trip to Taiko Rock, which I thought was great in its own way. The lunch we had at Shiosai was also delicious.

天候も悪かったのですが、一緒に行った主人の足の具合が悪くなり、結局は縄文杉だけのツアーになってしまったのですが、とても充実したツアーとなりました。これもひとえにガイドさんのおかげです。私たちは山登りの経験があるといったものの、初心者の知識だったので、ストックの使い方などを教えてくださったり、私たちだけだったのもあるかもしれませんが、本当に記念に残るようなスポットで写真をたくさん撮ってくださったり、何より色々なお話が面白かったです。とてもよいツアーだったと心から思います。翌日の雲水峡に自分たちで行きましたが、太鼓岩の往復をじっくりできて、これはこれでよかったと思いました。お昼に寄った潮騒も美味しかったです。

Is it a contract? 合同かよ！

Reviewed by: さすらいの旅人

I have used the day trip bus tour several times, so I know the drill when it comes to boarding the bus. After that, a staff member approached me and handed me an envelope, saying, "Once you enter the Ocean Expo Park, go left." I thought, "Huh?" but the bus headed to Kouri Island. The scenery here is beautiful, and the sea is so clear that it’s healing every time I visit. When the time came, we headed to our next destination, the Ocean Expo Park. After arriving, we all moved together with the guide to the entrance of the Ocean Expo Park. Then, the guide made an unexpected statement. They mentioned that they would accompany us to the Churaumi Aquarium and pointed out where we could eat. However, when it came to guiding our group to the Tropical Dream Center, it was just a simple, "Go left." Seriously? That’s it? They didn’t even accompany us or provide guidance on where to eat! Just as I was thinking that, the guide quickly left with a cheerful "Bye!" like Audrey's Kasuga. If I had known it was a joint tour from the beginning, I could have understood, but it was disappointing.

In the afternoon, we visited Manzamo and Ryukyu Village, which I had always wanted to see, so I’m glad I participated.

日帰りバスツアーは何度か利用しているので勝手知ったるなんとやらでバス乗車。その後スタッフとおぼしき人に声を掛けられ封筒を渡され、「海洋博公園の中に入りましたら左です」と伝えられた。…ん？と思いながらもバスは古宇利島へ。ここは景色も良く海も透明で何度来ても癒されます。時間になり次の目的地、海洋博公園へ。到着後ガイドさんと海洋博公園入口まで全員で移動。するとここでガイドさんからの意外な発言。なんと、美ら海水族館に同行するとか食事ができる場所はどこどこですとか。いざ、我らが熱帯ドリームセンター組への案内は「左で～す」。。。おいおい、それだけ。同行もせずに飯食うところの案内も無しかよ！と思っていた矢先、間髪入れずオードリー春日ばりの「バ～～イ」と言わんばかりに去って行きました。合同なら募集の時点で分かっていれば理解もできたのに。残念です。
午後からの万座毛・琉球村は一度は行ってみたかったスポットだったので参加して良かったです。

The trip was well organised and we visited number of different places. The scenery was beautiful despite the weather. All the places we visited, we were meant to see Mt Fuji, however it was too cloudy, which was a shame. But that cannot be helped. The tour includes going to the 5th station of Mt Fuji, however there was snow there so we were only allowed to go up to the 1st station. There we could see Mt Fuji through the clouds. The 4D simulation ride of Mt Fuji was lovely, you could see Mt Fuji in all the seasons. The lunch was delicious with good sized portions.

Overall the weather let us down but I cannot fault the tour.

A veteran guide accompanied our group of five women, including myself, and although it rained from the start, we were treated to many insightful stories and jokes, making our walk enjoyable throughout. Thanks to the guide, we were able to keep going until the end without losing motivation, and I learned a lot. The greenery after the rain was vibrant and beautiful. Hokkaido has a lot of nature, but this place had a completely different charm. I think the scenery is worth the 22-kilometer round trip.

美ら海水族館観光バスツアー　琉球村+星野リゾート　バンタカフェ+万座毛＋御菓子御殿をめぐる1日観光　夕食付きプランもあり＜入場券付き／那覇発／2歳以下無料

It was the best tour I participated in, both domestically and internationally! 国内外ツアーに参加した中で一番最高のツアーでした!

Reviewed by: とまとパスタ

It has been 15 years since my last visit to Okinawa. I wanted to visit famous spots like Churaumi Aquarium, but I thought it wouldn't be cost-effective to rent a car for a solo trip or transfer by bus to the northern part of the island. While searching for tours, I discovered this one. I was a bit worried because the tour price was low and included admission tickets, but after participating, I found myself thinking, "Is this price really okay?" within about 30 minutes, as it turned out to be an amazing tour.

I have participated in various tours both domestically and internationally, but the smile of our bus guide, Naruemi, was wonderful, and the driving of our driver, Kinjo, who was introduced as resembling Ken Shimura, was very careful and comfortable. You could feel the effort and hospitality to keep participants engaged from start to finish. I would highly recommend this tour for first-time visitors to Okinawa.

Thanks to this tour, I had a very enjoyable day!

The current situation regarding the Okinawa base issue, which people from the mainland tend to approach cautiously, was educational, especially with the Uchināguchi (Okinawan dialect) class and cultural customs that felt like a social studies field trip. We also did dance stretches to Okinawan songs. The guide's quick costume change for the sweet potato girl dance was delightful. Even as a solo participant, I had a lot of fun.

However, I do have a couple of suggestions for improvement.

- Regarding meals at Churaumi Aquarium: Since I participated in a tour during a holiday period, we had free time for lunch at the aquarium, but there were very few restaurants, and it was extremely crowded. I had to wait about 20 minutes to place an order, which made it difficult to enjoy a leisurely meal, and I hardly had any time to explore the aquarium. I felt that for tours during holiday periods, it would be better to include a stop at a recommended steak restaurant for an additional fee, or if bringing food and drinks into Ocean Expo Park were allowed, an announcement in advance would have been appreciated.

- About the Okashi Goten (Sweet Shop): While it was nice to see the production process, I felt that since there is a location on Kokusai Street, it might not be necessary to go out of the way for it. Instead of visiting Okashi Goten, I would have preferred to arrive at Ryukyu Village a bit earlier or have time to visit Kouri Tower on Kouri Island.

After returning to the mainland, I happened to hear "Yui Yui," and it brought back memories of the bus tour, making me smile a little.

This was a great tour for those who want to focus solely on visiting the famous spots in Okinawa.

15年ぶりの沖縄。美ら海等の名所には行きたいけれど一人旅に
わざわざレンタカーを借りたり、バスを乗り継いで北部まで行くのは
費用対効果が合わないなとツアー検索していたところ、こちらのツアーを発見。
入場券込でツアー料金も安価なので心配はありましたが、参加して30分ほどで
別の意味で「この価格で大丈夫?」と思ってしまうほど、最高のツアーでした。

国内外様々なツアーに参加してきましたが根路銘バスガイドさんの笑顔が素敵で
志村けんさん似と紹介されていた金城運転手さんの運転はとても丁寧で乗り心地良くて
最初から最後まで参加者を飽きさせない工夫・おもてなしの心が感じられ
初めて沖縄へ行く方にはお勧めしたくなるツアーでした。

おかげざまでとても楽しい一日になりました!

内地の人間が話題に出すのも慎重になる沖縄基地問題の現状、
うちなーぐち(沖縄弁)講座や風習は社会科見学のようで勉強になりました。
また沖縄の歌に合わせたダンス・ストレッチ。
ガイドさんの早着替えでの紅芋娘の踊り。一人参加でも、すごく楽しかったです。

ただ2つほど、改善要望もあります。

・美ら海水族館での食事について
連休時期のツアー参加だったため、美ら海水族館で自由に昼食をとるのですが
レストランの数が少なく、とてつもなく混雑。注文に20分待ち等でゆっくり
食事ができず、館内もほとんど見る時間が取れなかったので
連休時期のツアー時は別料金加算でも良いのでお勧めステーキレストラン立ち寄り、
もしくは海洋博公園に飲食物持ち込みOKであれば、事前に持参等のアナウンス
対応があれば良かったなと感じました。

・お菓子御殿について
製造工程が見られたのは良かったのですが・・・
国際通りにもあるのでわざわざ行かなくてもいいかなと感じました。
お菓子御殿に行く代わりに琉球村にもう少し早く到着、もしくは古宇利島で
せっかくなら古宇利タワーにも行く時間等が欲しかったなと感じました。

内地に戻ってきて、たまたま「ゆいゆい」を耳にしたとき
バスでのことを思い出し、少し頬が緩みました。

沖縄の名所だけ集中してまわりたい方にはおすすめの良いツアーでした。

Kyoto Private Taxi Tour with Customizable Itinerary & English-Speaking Guide

Best day of our entire trip!

Reviewed by: Meghan Wood

Our customized tour with Fuji-san was amazing, as we had only one full day in Kyoto I was worried we wouldn't get to see everything. Not only did we do everything we had on our list, but he took special interest in showing us things for our young children (ages 3 and almost 6) that we hadn't considered doing, such as the Toei Movie studios lot. My son LOVES Power Rangers, it was the highlight of his trip, and my daughter thoroughly enjoyed the female heroine of the samurai show. He suggested a better order of doing things, so that we could see certain sights before they became too crowded. When we admired the view of Kyoto from the mountainside, he took us to a nearby temple with panoramic views of the city. He knew great spots for taking the best photos, and where to eat. He was kind and patient with our rambunctious children, and explained the history and meaning behind EVERYTHING, from the statues to the temple bells. In addition, the van we rented was spacious, comfortable, and impeccably clean. I would definitely book with VELTRA again, and would give Fuji-san the highest rating possible for his knowledge, patience, sweet demeanor and excellent English. Thank you Fuji-san for an unforgettable day!

縄文杉半日＋白谷雲水峡半日（太鼓岩まで） 2大トレッキングコースを日帰りで！ by 屋久島の輪

I couldn't get as close to the Yakusugi as I thought I would. 屋久杉にはおもったより近づけず。。

Reviewed by: miyo

We were picked up by our guide at around 4:30 AM at our accommodation and headed to the entrance of Shiratani Unsuikyo. Along with the two of us, there were five others in our group, making a total of seven participants.

Since we started in complete darkness with headlamps, we couldn't enjoy the scenery at all. About 1.5 hours into the hike, when we stopped for breakfast at a mountain hut, it finally became bright enough to see our surroundings.

We passed through the mossy forest that inspired "Princess Mononoke," jumped at Taiko Rock, and enjoyed our lunch at the Wilson Cedar stump.

Once we reached the trolley path, it became monotonous and very boring.

The Jomon Cedar was truly magnificent, but we could only view it from a wooden deck under construction, so we couldn't get as close as I had hoped. Even taking photos from a distance didn't convey the impressive scale.

I understand it's for protection, but honestly, I wish we could have gotten a bit closer.

Also, I think the course that covers both Shiratani Unsuikyo and Jomon Cedar in one day would be tough for those who don't usually exercise. There was someone in our group who seemed to be in pain with their knees.

There were many rocky areas, and the stairs had significant height differences, putting a lot of strain on the knees.

On the way back, while some people took a shortcut on the trolley path to catch a bus, we decided to follow our guide back via the mountain-crossing Unsuikyo route. It took about 1.5 hours longer than taking the bus, but I was glad we did it because I wanted to see the Unsuikyo scenery in the daylight.

If you exercise regularly, as long as you go at your own pace, it shouldn't be too tough.

ガイドさんに朝4:30頃に宿でピックアップしてもらい、白谷雲水峡の入り口へ。
私達2名の他に、グループで参加している人たち5名と合わせて7名での行動。

白谷雲水峡は真っ暗な中ヘッドライト装着での進行のため景色は一切楽しめず。
スタートして1.5時間後ほど経ち、山小屋で朝食をとるころにようやくまわりが見えるくらいに明るくなる。

もののけ姫の題材となった苔むす森を通ったり、太鼓岩でジャンプしたり楽しみながらウィルソン杉の切り株のところで昼食。

トロッコ道になってから単調で非常に退屈。

縄文杉はとても偉大だったけど、作成途中の木製デッキの上から眺めるだけで
おもったよりも近づけなかった。遠目に写真をとってもイマイチ迫力は伝わってこない。

保護のために仕方ないのだろうけど、もう少し近づけたらよかったなぁ、、というのが正直な感想。

また、普段運動していない人にはこの白谷雲水峡と縄文杉を一日で周るコースは辛いと思います。グループ内でも膝を痛そうにしている人がいました。

岩場が多く、階段も段差が大きいので膝への負担が大きいです。


帰りはトロッコ道からショートカットしてバスに乗って帰る人もいるなか、
私たちはガイドさんについて行って山越え雲水峡ルートで帰ることに。
バスで帰るより1.5時間くらい時間はかかるが、
雲水峡の景色を明るい中で見たかったので行ってよかった。

普段から運動をしていれば、マイペースで進む限り辛くはありません。

This tour was very interesting! As we were without a car in Okinawa, with this tour we were able to visit most of Okinawa's famous spots especially Churaumi aquarium and had traditional Okinawan lunch for a very reasonable price, considering the fact that the normal admission fee for the aquarium is around 3000 yen. Moreover, on each stop we received small presents from the tour guide, which is very pleasing! Also there was an English audio guide so we have learned some of interesting facts about Okinawa.
Overall this tour was very good and well organized, everything on time and the tour guide and bus driver were very kind! we have brought our own stroller and the driver was taking it out and folding it back on every stop, for what we are very thankful!

Kyoto Private Taxi Tour with Customizable Itinerary & English-Speaking Guide

Downright Fantastic - convenience and quality in a nutshell

Reviewed by: Colin L

Our group consisted four adults including two 6'3 250 lb guys. Our driver, Fuji, was an absolute pleasure; well spoken, well prepared, insightful and courteous. We were picked up in a Toyota Century - a $100,000 luxury sedan. As a car enthusiast this was a delight as it's something we don't get stateside and the only V12 made by Toyota (outside of Formula 1!). We were very comfortable in the car. I had written up a plan of sites to see, Fuji commented on each location and we pared it down to 6 chosen locations.

What we saw in our 6 hour tour was easily 2 days worth of content. We started the day at Kennin-ji to see the dragon and walk the grounds, then headed towards Arashiyama via Uzumasa (Fuji recommended). In Arashiyama we saw the Tenryu-ji temple then walked along the Bamboo Forest road, we split for the monkeys and an owl cafe. Then took in the Katsura River and the general beautiful scenery with some shopping and headed for Kinkaku-Ji by way of Ninna-ji. Then we went to Fuji's secret overview spot with a glass tea house. From there we walked the 1001 Buddha statues in Sanjusangendo where Fuji gave history lessons on the deities, the religious text/background and archery competition famous to the area. Finally we were dropped off in Gion to walk Shirakawa-Minami Dori and observe the geisha and folks in costume with the beautiful scenery.

Fuji's insightful comments to each site were well appreciated, his VIP treatment with drop off/pick up was a boon for our more handicap party members and the ability to adjust the tour (bathroom, food, etc.) was well worth the extra expense over a comparable tour bus. His suggested locations and activities gave us a behind the scenes look in Kyoto as well as the typical iconography in the area. We will happily use this service again in our next trip.

For a group of 3 or more individuals this type of tour makes good financial sense and the convenience over a tour bus or larger grouped setting is invaluable.

Mt. Fuji Tour from Tokyo with Lake Kawaguchi, Oshino Hakkai & Ninja Village

Great first time experience!

Reviewed by: Sam

Our experience with this tour was great and everything went as planned except the weather wasnt at its best so we were not able to see the mountain as much as we wouldve liked. Even tho that was indeed the case for our tour, it was still spectacular to see mt fuji from where we were.

Our first stop was at the lake, this was hands down the best view of the mountain from my opinion. The reflection of the mountain against the lake was breath taking and it woke us up instantly after the bus ride to get there. It took about 1.5 hours to get there from shinjuku to the first stop. I took most of my pictures here, really beautiful scenic stop and makes you appreciate the nature.

When it was time to visit fifth station where the hikers usually begin their journey, the weather was not permitting so we started at first station. That was noted in the itinerary so dont be too disappointed. This stop wasnt too exciting but it was a good stop for the restroom.

The next favorite stop is the 4-d ride of mt fuji. Ot was near an amusement park so we also got to see one of the roller coasters that is in the gunniess world record, i believe they mentioned it was the steepest drop. I cringed when i saw it! Crazy ride! But anyway the 4d ride was really fun. We were split into two groups and we went first. Got to see a mini movie almost but the ride made it feel like you were actually there.

The lunch was pretty good as well, theres definitely better food in japan but it was good for what is provided. It was buffet style so they will make sure youre not starving. We had curry, salad, soup and a variety of noodles and meat.

Over all it was truly a good experience. If you are planning on visiting japan i would say a trip to mt fuji is a must do!

I had an unexpected long vacation due to work. Living in a cold place, I really wanted to escape to a warm location, so I chose Okinawa. Even acquaintances in Okinawa said, "That's a route we don't usually take," as it is the northernmost point. The lunch was better than I expected, but I wish I could have enjoyed the meal a bit more leisurely. One request: the audio guide through the earphones... the quality was not great? Even at the lowest volume, the sound was distorted, and I couldn't hear half of it. I think it would be good to check it once.

寒い所に住んでる私は、とにかく‼暖かい場所へ逃げたく…沖縄を選びました。
沖縄の知人でさえ、『あまり、行かないようなコースだね』との話の…最北端。
lunchも、思っていたより良かったです…が、もう少しゆっくりお食事したかったかな。
ひとつ…お願いですが、案内の流れるイヤホーン…
質が…いまいち？　一番最低音量にしても、音がわれてしまい、半分も聞き取れなかったです。
一度確認されたらいかがかなと思います

美ら海水族館観光バスツアー 人気のアメリカンビレッジコースとパイナップルパークコースから選べる！人気の観光地を巡る満喫ツアー＜那覇・北谷発／2歳以下無料＞

It was fun! ✨ 楽しかった✨

Reviewed by: Piii

I was satisfied that I could visit all the places I wanted to!

Since I was going to Kouri Island, I wanted to explore not just the beach but also other areas.

The audio guide was too loud, so I stopped listening halfway through...

Also, this isn't an issue with the tour company, but the person sitting behind me, who I think was Chinese, kept burping repeatedly, which was uncomfortable (laughs).

But overall, I was very satisfied with the tour! It was so much fun! Thank you very much! ✨

私的に行きたいところを全て回れて満足です！

古宇利島にせっかく行くので
ビーチだけじゃなくて
他のとこも回りたかったのと

音声ガイドの音がデカすぎて
途中聞くのやめたのと…

あとはツアー会社の問題ではないですが
後ろの席の中国人？の方が何回もゲップをしててずっと同じ席なのが苦でした(笑)

でもツアー自体は全然満足！
とっても楽しかったです！
ありがとうございました✨

Ishigaki Astronomical Observatory Stargazing Tour 石垣天文台星空ツアー

Reviewed by: ののの

On the day of our visit, although it was sunny, there were quite a few clouds until sunset, and I was worried about whether we would be able to see the stars. However, the clouds cleared up enough for us to finally look through the telescope we had been longing for. That day, at "Haimurubushi," we were able to see Betelgeuse, Sirius, the Trapezium, and Jupiter. (From the observatory, we could also faintly see Canopus.) The starry sky tour guide at the observatory was exceptional. After showing us three stars that were already rising through the telescope, she quickly showed us "4D2U" while we waited for Jupiter to rise. She used the short time very effectively to explain the arrangement of the stars and the formation of galaxies. 4D2U is a 3D celestial map that you view with special glasses, and the guide skillfully manipulated the 3D images, rotating and zooming in on the stars while explaining them. Her storytelling was excellent, and the 3D celestial map made the structure of the galaxy and the vastness of the star world very clear, which was incredibly interesting beyond my imagination. Even if the weather had been bad and we couldn't see the stars, I think we would have been quite satisfied with just the 4D2U experience at Haimurubushi, as the star guide's explanations were clear and easy to understand. The telescope at "Haimurubushi" was large and impressive, and just being inside the dome was quite moving. We were fortunate with the weather and were able to look through the telescope, witnessing the moment when the large telescope opened its mirror, slowly changing angles with mechanical sounds, and the romantic moment when the dome ceiling opened. Observing the bright light of the stars through the telescope made me feel a sense of excitement, as if I had returned to my childhood. Although it wasn't perfectly clear that day and the clouds kept moving, I was very grateful that the star guides adapted the tour content based on the conditions of the sky. As someone from Honshu, I was unaware of the seasonal changes between dry and rainy seasons, but I learned that Ishigaki Island experiences the rainy season until around March. According to the taxi driver, January and February often have cloudy and rainy weather, making it quite rare to see a beautiful starry sky. Conversely, during the dry season in summer, there are fewer clouds and rain, so the chances of seeing the stars are much higher. We also thought it would be nice to come back in the summer. Lastly, outside of the activities, I wanted to see the Southern Cross, which the star guide had introduced, so after the tour, I went out to an open area to look for it at midnight. Unfortunately, the low part of the sky was hazy, and I couldn't find it. I definitely want to come back to Ishigaki Island to see the Southern Cross.

当日、晴れてはいるものの日暮れまでやや雲が多く、星が観られるかなー、と心配をしていましたが、なんとか雲もそこそこ晴れ念願だった天体望遠鏡を覗かせてもらうことが出来ました。この日『はいむるぶし』で見せていただけた星はベテルギウス、シリウス、トラペジウムと木星でした。(天文台からうっっすらとカノープスも見えました。)天文台の星空ツアーガイドのお姉さんの手腕が素晴らしく、この日は最初にすでに昇っている星を３つ天体望遠鏡で見せて下さったあと、木星が昇るのを待つ間に『少し駆け足で』4D2Uを見せて下さったのですが、短い時間をすごく効果的に使って星の配置や銀河の成り立ちを説明して下さいました。4D2Uというのは特殊なメガネをかけて鑑賞する3D天体図のことで、星空ガイドのお姉さんが立体映像を自在に引いたり寄せたり回転させたりしながら星々の説明をして下さいました。お話しが上手なのと天体図が立体的に飛び出して見えることで銀河の構造や星の世界の果てしなさがとてもよくわかり、想像を超えて面白かったです。もし運悪く天気が悪くて星を見ることが出来なくても、4D2Uとはいむるぶし見学だけでもかなり満足出来たのではないかと思ったほど星空ガイドさんの説明は上手でわかりやすかったですし、天体望遠鏡『はいむるぶし』は大きくてかっこよくて、ドームの中に入れただけでもかなりの感動がありました。今回は天気に恵まれ天体望遠鏡を覗かせていただけたので、大きな望遠鏡が反射鏡を開く様子や機械音をたててゆっくりと角度を変える様子、そして天井のドームが開くロマンあふれる瞬間を見ることが出来ました。天体望遠鏡を覗いてハッキリと大きく見える星の光を観察した時には子供の頃に戻ったようなワクワクを感じましたよ。この日は快晴というわけではなく、雲が動き続けていたので、星空ガイドのみなさんが空の様子を見ながら臨機応変にツアーの内容を変えて対応して下さったこともとても有り難かったです。本州の人間である自分には乾季雨季の感覚が無く盲点でしたが、石垣島は3月頃まで雨季なのだそうです。タクシーの運転手さんによると、1月2月は曇天雨天がとても多く星空が綺麗に見えることはかなり少ないそうです。逆に、乾季である夏は雨や雲が少なく、高い確率で星空を見ることが出来るのではないでしょうか。私達も今度は夏にまた来たいなあと思いました。最後にアクティビティ外の話しですが、星空ガイドさんが紹介されていた南十字星を見たくてツアー終了後の深夜 南中時刻に合わせて星の見える開けた場所まで出かけましたが、この日は空の低い位置は霞がかかっていてとうとう見つけることが出来ませんでした。南十字星を見るためにも、また石垣島に来たいと思います。

Tokyo Hop On Hop Off Bus Tickets (1day or 2days)

Good value for money as one can visit Tokyo in a day

Reviewed by: Lydia Teo

After reading many reviews some positive and negative, we decided to try this Hop on Hop off bus ride. We (group of 10) started late due to our distance from Tokyo Station. As we got off the station we asked around to finally get to Mitsubishi building which one cannot miss its signage. It was freezing cold that day on 25th and we did our first ride through the first to last stop on the blue line. It was interesting as we listened to the introductions of the places we passed by through the ear recorder in the language we preferred. Personally, I felt I gained more knowledge as the voice introduced the places we passed through in the comfort of the open decker bus. We then took the purple line to Ginza /Tsukiji. By the time we reached Tsukiji, some shops started closing at 1.30pm. It is best to go early in the morning . We were left with not much time to visit Asakuse instead we took the last bus to go round to view the Tokyo Rainbow bridge in the night. It was a different sight when viewed in the night with all the llightings. I am very sure when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom next week, it is a good idea to take this hop-on hop-off bus as we passed the cherry trees which was budding then.

We are going to recommend our friends who will be visiting Tokyo to try out this bus as it is money well spent to enjoy the whole of Tokyo in a day.

石垣島一周定期観光バス　川平湾や玉取崎展望台など島の名所をバスガイドの案内でひと巡り！眺めの良いレストランでランチ付き！＜空港途中降車可／石垣島＞

As long as the weather is good お天気さえ良ければ

Reviewed by: げんちゃん

Despite being late March, the day of the tour was marked by thick clouds and strong winds, which meant we had to spend our time at Kawahira Park and the tea time (originally a scenic café) without much enjoyment.

The only highlight was the Yonehara Tropical Rainforest. We took a short 10-minute stroll through the rainforest, and the well-maintained pathways made it safe for older visitors.

We departed from the bus terminal at 2 PM with a group of 11. We made stops at four locations, including a café, and returned to the bus terminal at 5:30 PM, arriving 20 minutes early due to the bad weather. The afternoon course does not go via the airport.

The guide was kind, and we were able to comfortably visit the attractions, so it wasn't bad at all. However, I believe that poor weather inevitably lowers the overall satisfaction.

　３月下旬にもかかわらず、ツアー当日は、厚い曇り空と風が強かったので、せっかくの川平公園もティータイム（本来は絶景カフェ）も時間を持て余してしまいました。
　唯一、良かったのは米原熱帯原生林でしょうか。原生林を１０分程度散策しますが、歩道が整備されているので年配の方でも安心です。
　１１人で１４時にバスターミナルを出発。カフェを含めて４箇所を下車観光し、バスターミナルに戻ってきたのは１７時３０分。お天気が悪かったので２０分早く到着しました。午後コースは空港を経由しません。
　ガイドさんも親切で、快適に見所を回れるなど、決して悪いくはないのですが、お天気が悪いとどうしても満足度は低くなると思います。
