All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

The duration of stay at each point was just right, and at Oishi Forest Park, I was able to walk leisurely while taking photos without feeling rushed. The course with the strange rocks and views usually takes an hour, but I was able to complete it faster than expected, so I extended my visit to another course to see the banyan trees, and in the end, I managed to cover all the courses within 80 minutes. I think younger people or those with a decent level of fitness can see all the courses. The Churaumi Aquarium seemed to be planned so that we could make it in time for the dolphin show. The show started at a good time after we arrived, so it was possible to see it. I had enough time for the three-hour aquarium visit, so I also went to Emerald Beach, which is located in front of the aquarium, and enjoyed the scenery. The local guide was friendly and full of love for Okinawa. I was also happy to receive a complimentary bottle of water. Thank you very much.

各ポイントでの滞在時間も丁度良く、大石林山ではあせることなくルートをのんびり写真取りながら歩けました。奇岩と展望が見れるコースは、通常なら一時間掛かるのですが、思いの外早く回れたのでガジュマルを見にもう１つのコースへも足を伸ばし、結果全てのコースを80分という枠内で回りきれました。若手の方やある程度の健脚なら全コース見れると思います。美ら海水族館はイルカショー開催時間に間に合う様なプランニングだったのでしょうか。到着して程よい時間にイルカショーがスタートするので、見ることも可能です。水族館３時間の枠は余裕があったので私は水族館先にあるエメラルドビーチへも行き、景色を楽しむ事ができました。現地ガイドさんが気さくて沖縄愛に溢れた素敵な方でした。お水一本のサービスも嬉しかったです。有難うございました。

It was our first time in Tokyo and I want it to be stress free so we decided to get a hop on hop off bus. The experience was wonderful. We had the top view of the Tokyo with the cold weather. It was awesome. Not to mention it was very easy to book thru VELTRA. We booked the day before only but they still had available seats. Awesome!

I was anxious about my first long trek, but thanks to our guide, the experienced couple who joined us, and the favorable weather, it was challenging yet enjoyable. Thank you very much.

I appreciated the advice and support provided.

I believe the enjoyment of the trek depends on the guide. I am grateful to have met such a wonderful guide. Thank you.

初めての長時間トレッキングに不安がありましたが、ガイドさん、ご一緒に参加された登山達人のご夫婦、そして天気に恵まれて、大変でしたが楽しく参加する事が出来ました。ありがとうございます。
アドバイスやフォローもして頂き助かりました。

ガイドさん次第で楽しさが変わると思います。良きガイドさんに巡り会えて感謝です。ありがとうございました。

It was great to be able to tour the main attractions in Naha all day. I especially recommend it for those visiting Okinawa for the first time! Since I didn't have a rental car during my two-night, three-day trip, including this tour in the middle made for a fulfilling Okinawa experience.

終日那覇の主要な場所を観光できてとても良かった。特に初めて沖縄にいく人にはおすすめ！今回二泊三日でレンタカーもなかったので、このツアーを中日にいれたところ、充実した沖縄旅行となった。

We participated in the Shirakawa-go and Gokayama tour on January 13th as a couple. We were blessed with rare good weather for winter in Hokuriku, allowing us to fully enjoy the snowy landscapes of Shirakawa-go and Gokayama. The time management and lunch were well-balanced, and the bus was driven safely, which made us feel secure. Above all, our guide, Nakamura, provided a heartfelt and enjoyable experience, allowing us to fully appreciate the itinerary. I have surpassed my sixties, but for the first time, I thought, "A bus tour is nice." I would like to participate again in a different season.

1月13日の白川郷五箇山ツアーに夫婦で参加しました。北陸の冬には稀な好天に恵まれて雪の白川郷、五箇山を満喫できました。時間配分や昼食もバランスよく、バスも安全運転で安心できました。何よりも添乗員の中村さんに心のこもった楽しいガイドをしていただき、工程をフルに楽しめました。私は還暦を超えましたが、今回初めて「バスツアーもいいな」と思えました。季節を変えて、また参加したいと思います。

There were many foreign participants, and the bus guide who spoke both Japanese and English was great. It was also a good opportunity to study English! Shirakawa-go had snow piled up, and the weather was clear! It was the best. Gokayama was more peaceful than Shirakawa-go, and we could relax. The rice cracker baking experience was also fun. My family was very satisfied. Thank you!

外国人参加者も多く、日本語と英語対応のバス内ガイドが良かったです。英語の勉強にもなりました！白川郷は雪が積もり、お天気は晴天！最高でした。五箇山は白川郷よりも落ち着いていてのんびりできました。お煎餅焼き体験も面白かったです。家族大満足です。ありがとうございます。

Absolutely brilliant tour, very welll organised, got a great taste of japanese culture aswel as a spectacular view of mt Fuji.

Our tour guide, Yoshi, was so freindly, knowledgable and enthuthiastic aswel as knowing all the best photo spots, he even showed us how to do some origami on the bus.

We got to see Mt Fuji at lots of different angles too and were super lucky with the weather!

The food was delicious too!

The weather was cloudy and a bit chilly in some areas, but I was satisfied with the content. When passing by the homes of celebrities, they would inform us and share interesting stories. They also performed songs on the sanshin, and I had a great time. Thank you very much.

お天気が曇りで場所によっては少し肌寒いところが
ありましたが内容には満足しました。
有名人の家の前を通るときは教えてくださったり
エピソードも教えていただきました。
三線で歌も披露してくださり楽しい時間を過ごす
ことができました。
ありがとうございました。

The buses were very comfortable and blankets were provide on top of heating which made it both comfortable and enjoyable on the whole. The routes covered all the key parts of Tokyo which I wanted to visit. The commentary could be further improved. On the whole I enjoyed the trip!

On January 12 and 13, my wife and I participated in this tour to Kanazawa because she wanted to see snow. Although we weren't blessed with snow in Kanazawa, we enjoyed the beautiful scenery and had plenty of time to stroll around Shirakawa-go, where there was still some snow. The view from the observation deck was also fantastic.

We savored local cuisine for lunch. Actually, on the first day in Kanazawa, we had a bit of a tight schedule to see various places, so for dinner, we couldn't go to the steakhouse and ended up having nodoguro. I fell asleep dreaming of Kanazawa oden, sushi, and more.

In the Gokayama village, the calm atmosphere was truly moving. My wife was so excited that she even lay down in the snow. We also thoroughly enjoyed the rice cracker grilling experience.

Lastly, I must not forget to thank our tour guide, Nakagawa-san, for his excellent commentary. It was a wonderful tour that left me moved by the places and encounters with people. I would like my mother to experience this joy next time.

I look forward to the next opportunity!

1月12、13日と関西より金沢へ妻が雪が見たいということでこのツアーへ参加。金沢では雪に恵まれませんでしたが白川郷で残雪あり素晴らしい景色と余裕のある時間でゆっくりと散策出来ました。展望台より見る景色も最高。
昼食も現地の食事で堪能致しました。実は初日の金沢では各所見る為、少しハードなスケジュールだったので夕食はステーキ屋歯科空いておらずのどぐろ。金沢おでん、お寿司等夢見ながら眠りについた次第です。
五箇山集落ではとても落ち着いたたたずまいで感動。思わず妻は雪に寝転ぶほどのハシャギぶりでした。　煎餅焼き体験もし満喫致しました。
最後に忘れてはならないツアーグガイドの中川さん最高のトーク有難うございました。場所、人との出会いに感動した素晴らしいツアーでした。また今度は母親にもこの感動を味わえさせたいと思いました。
次回も機会あればよろしくお願いします。

The first photo is of the awe-inspiring Jomon Sugi. I walked 22 kilometers to see this. I was worried about whether I could make it since I don't usually exercise, but with the strong support of my guide, Mr. A, I was able to go without any major injuries. Of course, I experienced muscle pain and felt exhausted at times, but I was deeply moved and energized by the ancient trees that have stood there for thousands of years. I was amazed by the strength of life and the greatness of nature in the forest, where moss grows on fallen trees, new life sprouts, and new generations are passed down over the years. It started with a low energy level due to the light rain and cold weather, wearing a raincoat and carrying an umbrella, but the rain eventually created a mystical atmosphere that seemed to wash away my worries; it truly felt like a blessing. While the Jomon Sugi was impressive, I was also moved by the Wilson stump along the way. Inside the Wilson stump, there was a hollow space with a shrine, where the mountain god resided. Looking up at the sky, I saw a heart-shaped cloud that made me feel happy. The small heart along the return trolley path also warmed my heart. The trek, lasting over 11 hours, felt a bit harsh for a beginner like me, but it filled me with an overwhelming sense of emotion and accomplishment, giving me confidence that I can do anything and motivating me to live. I was able to have a very precious experience, adding another unforgettable memory to my life.

1枚目の写真は憧れの縄文杉。これを見たくて22キロ頑張って歩いた。普段、運動をしないので辿り着けるか心配だったけど、同行ガイドのＡさんの心強いサポートがあり、大きな怪我もなく無事に行ってこれた。もちろん筋肉痛になり、途中しんどい…と思う事もあったけど、何千年もそこに変わらずあり続ける巨木たちに深い感動とパワーをもらった。切り倒された木に苔が生え、新しい命が芽吹き、新たな命が何年も受け継がれる森の営みに生命力の強さと自然の偉大さに圧巻された。小雨が降り寒い中、カッパと傘を着用していたのでテンション低めのスタートだったけど、その雨さえも途中からは神秘的な空間を演出してくれ、自分の心を洗い流してくれたようで、まさに恵みの雨だった。縄文杉も感動的だったけど、途中にあるウィルソン株にも感動した。ウィルソン株の中は空洞になっていて中に入ると祠があり、山の神様がいた。空を仰ぐとハート型の空がハッピーな気持ちにさせてくれた。帰りのトロッコ道の小さなハートもほっこりした。計11時間以上に渡るトレッキングは初心者の私にとって少し過酷にも感じたが、それ以上の大きな感動と達成感で満た
され、やれば出来るという自信と生きる原動力になった。とても貴重な体験をする事ができ、一生忘れない大切な思い出がまた1つ増えた。

It was one of the best tours we had. The view was magnificent & our tour guide Blair was awesome.We had so much fun. Mt. Fuji is so spectacular, its cone is almost perfect & the weather also was wonderful. We saw mt. Fuji very clearly.

The weather was wonderful, but the snow was melting quickly, making the ground difficult to walk on. I regretted my choice of shoes, as they ended up getting wet. I later heard that there were rubber boots available, and I wish I had been informed about that beforehand. I visited Shirakawa-go last year and didn't get wet, so this was a bit of a mistake!

I was satisfied with the tour content and lunch, but it would have been even better if the food had been a bit tastier. The tour guide was great, and I had a good time with my fellow travelers. I immediately recommended it to my friends.

お天気に恵まれので凄く良かったのですが、雪がどんどん溶けて足元が
悪く、履いて来る靴が失敗でした。靴の中まで濡れてしまいました。
長靴がある事あとで聞いたので、最初に教え欲しかったです。
昨年も白川郷に来てましたが、濡れなかったのでちょっと失敗しました！！

ツアーの内容も、昼食も満足でしたが、ご飯はもう少し美味しいともっと良かったかな・・
添乗員の方も良い方でしたし、同行者の方々にも恵まれいい時間でした。
早速、お友達にも勧めました。

Everything mentioned was included, and our tour guide was great. Also did a little karaoke session on the tour bus on the way there it was really nice and a great way to involve everyone. It was a beautiful day, just remember to dress warm at this time of the year (January).

I went on the Shirakawa-go and Gokayama tour for the first time on January 11. The guide's explanations were very informative. We were blessed with good weather, and the traditional Japanese landscape standing under the blue sky felt nostalgic in its silver world. Next time, I would like to visit during the Doburoku Festival.

1/11日初めて白川郷と五箇山ツアーに行きました。。
添乗員さんの説明で色々勉強になりました。
お天気にも恵まれ、青空の下、白銀の世界にたたずむ日本の原風景は懐かしい感じでした。
今度はどぶろく祭の時に訪れてみたいです。

I was able to create very good memories. While the plan is important for whether the tour is good, I believe that the people involved are even more significant. The tour guide's singing, dancing, storytelling, and responsiveness were all very satisfying. I was also pleased with how the driver went above and beyond my expectations. This tour made me strongly want to visit Okinawa again.

非常によい思い出を作ることができました。ツアーが良いかどうかはプランも重要ですが、何よりも人に拠る点が大きいと思います。ツアーガイドの歌声、踊り、話術、対応等どれも非常に満足がいくものでした。ドライバーも私の要望以上のことをしてくれたことや対応も満足しています。また、沖縄に来たいと強く思わせてくれたツアーでした。

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・・・、
