All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

Most of the tourists were from South Korea and China.
The sightseeing spots were all places I wanted to visit, and there was even transportation to the hotel, so I decided to participate.
The time allocation at the sightseeing spots was just right—not too long or too short—and I really enjoyed it.
To have such a great experience at this price is a fantastic deal.
At Kouri Island, it would have been even better if we could have gone all the way to the Hard Rock area.
I would also like to see an increase in the repertoire of Okinawan music played on the bus and for the volume to be turned up a bit more, haha.

韓国、中国の観光客がほとんどでした。
観光地が行きたいところばかりで、更にホテルまでの送迎もあったので参加を決めました。
観光地の時間配分が長すぎず短すぎず、丁度よく、楽しめました。
こんなに楽しめてこの値段は、とてもお得です。
古宇利島は、手前だけじゃなく、ハードロックのところまで行ってくれたらもっと◎
バス内に流れる沖縄の音楽のレパートリーを増やして欲しいのと、ボリュームをもう少しあげてほしいです笑

I had a day off while in Osaka for a live event, so I decided to give it a try. I participated alone, but I was able to have a fun day, and I am very grateful for that. I would like to use it again next time. Thank you very much!

大阪でライブで1日空いたので利用してみました
1人で参加しましたが1日楽しく過ごすことができ大変感謝してます
次回もまた利用したいと思います
ありがとうございました

It was great that the guidance was available in each language.
It was a bit disappointing that the bus was cold.

ガイダンスがそれぞれの言語で聴けたのはとてもよかった。
バスが寒かったのがちょっと残念だった。

The weather was a bit off in the morning, but by the time we arrived at Iriomote Island, the sun started to shine. On the mangrove cruise, we enjoyed a relaxed atmosphere while watching wild birds and riding on a water buffalo cart. The bus driver, who also served as our guide, was fantastic. He was very cheerful and entertaining. The lunch was delicious, and the souvenir shop was quite well-stocked, so I think you'll have a good time. On the ferry from Iriomote Island to Taketomi Island, the color of the sea kept changing, and I was amazed at how many different colors there are in the ocean. I chose the glass-bottom boat on Taketomi Island, but the wind was strong that day, and the boat rocked quite a bit, which made me feel seasick. However, it was great to see the beautifully colored fish. The schedule wasn't too hectic, so I think it's a very good option for a day trip.

朝は天気がイマイチでしたが西表島につく頃には陽が差してきました。マングローブクルーズでは野生の鳥を見たり、水牛車に乗ったりのんびりした雰囲気を楽しみました。バスの運転手さん兼ガイドさんが最高でした。とても愉快な方で面白かったです。ランチもおいしかったし、お土産屋さんもそれなりに充実していたので楽しめると思います。西表島から竹富島へのフェリーでは海の色がどんどん変わり、海の色ってこんなにたくさんあるんだ、と感動しました。竹富島では私はグラスボートを選んだのですが、この日は風が強くかなり揺れたので船酔いしてしまいましたが、きれいな色の魚が見れたのは良かったです。スケジュールはそれほどハードではないので日帰りツアーとしてはとても良いと思います。

The weather was bad, and it rained quite a bit along the way, but I had a great time! Since I visited Kabira Bay the day before when it was sunny, it was nice to see a different side of Kabira Bay (laughs).

The Yaeyama Palm Grove was impressive! The rain made it feel even more like a jungle (^^) lol.

The female bus guide (it was a morning tour, but instead of an older male guide, it was a woman) was very entertaining, so I enjoyed myself the whole time.

I think it's reasonable to have lunch included at this price♪

However, there was one disappointing thing. In the morning, the driver who came to pick us up was calling out the names of the tour participants one by one, but they didn't call our names, and we weren't even on the reservation list. When we told them our names, they said, "You’re not on the list, so it must be a mistake." When I showed them the voucher and explained the tour details, they finally said, "Oh, this tour," and let us on.

...We almost got left behind (>_<).

Everyone, please be cautious as such things can happen.

Despite this incident, the tour itself was very good (^^).

お天気が悪く、途中結構な雨になってしまいましたが、楽しかったです！
川平湾は、晴れていた前日に行っていましたので、違う顔の川平湾が見られて良かったです(笑)

ヤエヤマヤシ林は見ごたえありました！
雨なので余計にジャングルっぽさが増していましたし(^^)笑

バスの女性ガイドさん(午前発のコースでしたが、おじさんガイドではなく女性でした)が、
とても面白くお話ししてくださるので、終始楽しかったです。

ランチ付きでこのお値段だとリーズナブルだと思います♪

しかし、ひとつだけ残念だった事が。
朝、ホテルに迎えにきた運転手さんがツアー参加者の名前を一組ずつ呼んでいましたが、
私達の名前は呼んでくれなかったどころか、予約リストにも入っていなかったんです。
「〇〇です」と自分たちの名前を伝えても「〇〇様は、お名前ないから違いますね」と。
「でも東運輸さんですよね？」とバウチャーを見せて、ツアーの詳細を説明すると、
「ああ、このツアーですね」と、やっと乗せてくれました。

・・・危うく置いて行かれるところでした(>_<)

皆様、こういう事もありますので、十分ご注意ください。

このような事もありましたが、ツアー自体はとても良かったです(^^)

We hada gret time for this trip. Especially my boy was very happy because it was the first time of seeing snow. The lunch also very nice. Too bad we only can go to2nd station due to the snow and weather. Highly recommend to return Tokyo by Shinkansen because it save much more time.

As the title suggests, I participated alone. I thought it would be difficult to deal with traffic while renting a car and figuring out the bus routes, so I decided to use this tour. We stopped at various places, and there was plenty of time for sightseeing. The guide also kept us entertained in the vehicle. Thank you very much!

タイトル通り一人での参加でした。
レンタカーで渋滞したり、路線バスを調べてその時間で移動するのが大変そうなのでこちらのツアーを利用させていただきました。
各所寄っていただいて、観光する時間も充分。車内もガイドさんに楽しませていただきました。
ありがとうございました！

I was satisfied with the tour, which was full of highlights. However, due to time constraints, we had to rush a bit. Therefore, next time, I would like to take my time and enjoy the Churaumi Aquarium area and Ryukyu Village, spending a full day at each. Thank you!

見どころたっぷりなツアーで満足です。
ただ、時間的にどうしても駆け足になってしまいました。
ですので、次回は美ら海水族館エリア、琉球村
それぞれ1日ずつじっくり楽しみたいなと思っています。
ありがとうございました！

I wanted to feel the grandeur and vitality of nature that has continued since ancient times, so I joined this tour. We were picked up by bus at the early hour of 5 AM and taken to the trailhead, where the tour began. We climbed a long, long trolley path for about three hours, and then ascended a steep slope. The tour was challenging yet very enjoyable as I experienced the magnificence of the great cedar trees and the difference in air within the ancient forest. It was also a good opportunity to realize the decline in my leg muscles after many years of working in an office. I feel motivated to train my body and try again; I highly recommend this tour.

古代から脈々と続く大自然の荘厳さと生命力のすごさを感じたいと思い、このツアーに参加しました。なんと５時という早朝からバスで登山口に送られ、そこからツアーが始まりました。長い長いトロッコ道を３時間くらい上り、そこから険しい坂道を登山しますが、大自然の大きな杉の荘厳さと古代樹林の空間の空気の違いを感じながらのツアー工程は厳しくも非常に楽しいものでした。そして、長年の会社生活の間に衰えてしまった足の筋肉の減退を自身で十分に感じた良い機会でもありました。　体を鍛えなおして、再度チャレンジしてみたいとも思う、お勧めのツアーです。

The day before, I went on a Jomon Sugi tour, so I wanted to experience the nature that inspired "Princess Mononoke," and I participated in this "Shiratani Unsuikyo Tour." The hiking trail wasn't too steep, and it was a nice tour that could be completed in half a day. Along the way, there were indeed large cedars, and after a while, I reached the moss-covered "Mononoke Forest." It was a space that calmed my mind and created a very peaceful atmosphere, allowing me to feel a different aura from the city as I descended.
It was a very good tour.

前日に縄文杉ツアーに行ったので、続いて「ジブリのもののけ姫」のモチーフになった自然を感じたいと思い、この「白谷雲水峡ツアー」に参加しました。登山道はそんなに険しくなく、半日で往復できる程よいツアーでした。　途中には、やはり大きな杉がそびえ、また、しばらく行くと苔むす「もののけの森」に行きつきました。　そこは、心が和み、とても気持ちが静かになるような雰囲気の空間で、都会とは違うオーラを十分に感じて下山できました。　
とても良いツアーでした。

WE booked the tour a day before , spontaneously. On the day of the tour we were not able to print out our vouchers as it was requested in the booking. yet, the colleagues from the office made it possible for us to change the date for our tour and forward our booking to the service provider.

The day of the tour was a greyish and rainy one. Hot green tea and blankets made our stay on board very comfortable. We enjoyed the tour (used English translation).

We booked this tour for our first day in Japan.
It was a great introduction to Japanese culture and history.
The pickup and timing was all very efficient. The two tour guides where friendly, knowledgeable and entertaining.

It was a very warm January visit to Ishigaki Island. However, since I participated with small children, the schedule was quite tight, and I found myself constantly feeling rushed.

とてもあったかい１月の石垣島観光となりました。
ただ、小さい子供を連れての参加だったので、タイムスケジュールはかなりタイトで常に焦りながらの行動となってしまいました。

The time spent listening to the explanations on the bus was really enjoyable! However, perhaps due to the weather, Churaumi Aquarium was not as great as I expected. Other places were not very memorable or enjoyable either. But if I come to Okinawa again, I would like to use a bus tour.

バスの中で説明を聞いたお時間はすごく楽しかったです！しかし、天気のせいなのか、美ら海水族は思ったよりまあまあでした。ほかの所も記憶に無いぐらいあまり楽しくなかったです。。;; でもまた沖縄へ来たらバスツアーを利用したいです。

I participated because I wanted to go to Daishi Forest Mountain.

I am very satisfied with this price, which includes the bus fare, entrance fees to various facilities, and a luxurious lunch.

I toured with several tourists from Korea, China, and Hong Kong, in addition to Japanese people. Everyone was well-behaved, and there was no loud noise or selfish behavior, allowing us to enjoy the sightseeing experience.

大石林山に行きたくて参加しました

バス代、各施設の入場料、豪華ランチ込みでこのお値段は大満足です

日本人以外に韓国、中国、香港からきた観光客数名と一緒に観光しました
みなさんお行儀がよく、大声で騒いだり自分勝手な行動をすることもなく、楽しく観光できました

The tour was really enjoyable and educative. The sceneries were amazing. The tour guide was very kind and accommodating to assist us and extend extra services to his customers.
It was only frustrating that we did not reach the 5th station since the access was closed due to the climate condition. However, the overall experience was great

A shuttle bus came to the hotel to pick us up, and we gathered at the port to receive explanations for each course. When we mentioned the course number during boarding and disembarking, the staff members present promptly guided us, saying things like "that way" and "this way," allowing us to feel secure on the tour even in an unfamiliar place.

I had the impression that rural cities were mostly populated by elderly people, but everywhere we went, young people provided guidance and explanations. We enjoyed the wonderful nature and felt the vibrant spirit of Ishigaki.

ホテルに送迎のバスが来て下さり、港に集まり、コース毎の説明を受けました。乗船や下船後の移動時にコース番号を言うと、そこここに居る係員の方は皆、それはあっち、これはこっちとテキパキと案内してくれ、見知らぬ土地でも安心してツアーに乗れました。
地方都市というと高齢者ばかりとのイメージがありましたが、どこでも若い人が案内、説明をして下さり、素晴らしい自然を堪能するとともに、元気な石垣を感じました。

On the last day, since my flight was at 8 PM, I made a light reservation here after checking out. I went cycling with the cattle, but one hour of cycling was enough, so I think I might not need it next time. I also rode a water buffalo on Yubu Island, but Taketomi had a different atmosphere, and I was glad to experience both. It was a beautiful island just like in the pictures, and time flew by. I want to come back again.

最終日、飛行機の便が夜8時だったので、チェックアウト後に軽くこちらに申込みました。牛とサイクリングでしたが、サイクリングは1時間で十分だったので次はいらないかなーと思いました。水牛は由布島でも乗りましたが、竹富はまた雰囲気が違ってどちらも乗って良かったです。写真どおり綺麗な島で、あっという間に時間がすぎました。また来たいです。

Fun tour! The no lunch options are slim but still delicious. Mario was very helpful and nice. Definitely worth going to see Mt Fuji.

I have no complaints about the places we visited, but I was left dissatisfied with the tour guide and the driver. The tour guide seemed quite bureaucratic, only checking the time. I understand that most of the participants were Chinese and Korean, so providing information only in Japanese may not have been very meaningful for them. However, since the tour guide was fluent in English, it would have made a difference if there had been some information provided in both Japanese and English instead of just sitting quietly during the journey. There was a guide device available, but I would like the tour company to reconsider the purpose of having a tour guide. Additionally, the driver was unfriendly throughout the trip.

The tour description mentioned we would pass by the Warumi Bridge (view from the bus), but I don't think we did. We might have passed it, but since there was no explanation from the tour guide, I couldn't tell where the Warumi Bridge was. I was really looking forward to it, so it's very disappointing. I believe it's a significant issue that we either did not pass by the places included in the tour or that the location of the Warumi Bridge was not announced at all.

訪れた場所に関しては不満はありませんが、添乗員とドライバーに不満が残った。
添乗員は時間の確認のみでかなり事務的な印象を受けました。利用者が中国、韓国人が大半であるので日本語だけの案内は彼らにはあまり意味がないことは理解してますが、英語の堪能な添乗員だっただけに道中ただ座っているだけではなく少しの情報でも日本語と英語で案内があれば印象は違っていたかもしれません。案内の機械はあるのですが、添乗員がいる意義を今一度考えほしいです。また、終始ドライバーが無愛想でした。
ツアー内容にわるみ大橋 (車窓)と記載されていたのですが、通っていなかったと思います。通ったかもしれませんが、添乗員からの説明が一切なかったので、どこがわるみ大橋か分からなかったのかもしれません。
楽しみにしていたのに非常に残念です。ツアー内容に入っているところを通っていないまたは、一切わるみ大橋の場所を告知しなかったのは非常に問題あると思います。

Iriomote Island, Taketomi Island, and Yufu Island all had great weather and it was the best! They mentioned that it's quite rare to have such sunny weather throughout the year on Yufu Island. The staff on the boat were very kind and helped with the wheelchair boarding, which was really appreciated.

On Yufu Island, although I rode the water buffalo, I realized I had left my child's baby food on the bus (^ - ^;). The young lady at the dining hall kindly listened to my situation and contacted the person in charge of the water buffalo without any unpleasant expressions, which was truly helpful. Thank you very much.

The tour guides were all very polite, and the islands were so wonderful that I felt like I wanted to stay there forever. I hope to take this tour again someday and explore the islands at a more leisurely pace.

西表島も、竹富島も、由布島も、天気が良くて最高でした！由布島では、年間通してこんなに晴れているのはかなり珍しい！と言ってました。船への車椅子の乗車も、乗務員さんが丁寧に手伝いしてくれて、ほんとに、助かりました。
由布島では、水牛に乗り渡ったものの、バスに子供の離乳食を置いてきてしまったことが判明(^-^;食堂のお姉さんから、水牛の担当の方への連絡等、一切嫌な顔なさらずに事情を聞いてくれ、対応してくれて本当に助かりました。ありがとうございました。
観光の案内は皆さんとても丁寧で、このまま島に居残りたいくらい、素敵な島々でした。
またいつか、このツアーで、今度はもう少しゆっくりじっくり島々を巡りたいです。

We were not able to see the whole of Tokyo. Since they hardly speak english, we missed our bus. And the next bus we had to take was on its way back to our pick up point. If we take another color coded bus, it would be too late for us to go back to Shinjuku where we are staying.

The hotel was supposed to provide a shuttle bus, but when the designated time came on the day of, it did not arrive. After calling, I was instructed to take a taxi to the port and that they would cover the cost. If I hadn't contacted them, I probably would have been forgotten, and my chance to enjoy the sightseeing in Taketomi Island would have been wasted.

The sightseeing tour in Taketomi Island was well-coordinated and very fulfilling; I had a great time. However, it seems that the management is lacking, so I recommend that when using this service, you should not take their word for it and instead call the company the day before to confirm.

ホテルに送迎バスが来ることになっていたのですが、当日指定された時間になっても到着しないため、電話連絡したところ、お金を払うからタクシーで港まで向かうように指示されました。もし連絡しなければ、たぶん忘れられてしまい、せっかくの竹富島観光はパーになってしまったと思います。
竹富島観光のツアーはそれぞれ連携がとれていてとても充実して楽しかったです。管理がずさんだと思われますので、ここを利用する際は来るものと鵜呑みにせず、あらかじめ前日に会社に電話連絡しておくとよいと思います。

Everything was great. The tour guide was pretty good. Bus and the drivers were pretty good. Overall everything was good. Nothing to complain.
Depending on where you are picked up, the pick up can take some time before the tour starts. In my case, it was more than an hour. Just be prepared for this.

On the day of our visit, I was worried because rain was in the forecast, but the prediction turned out to be wrong, and we had beautiful clear skies! We rode on a water buffalo cart in such lovely weather. The water buffalo that was in charge of us was very laid-back and took many breaks, but because of that, we were able to enjoy the surrounding scenery at a leisurely pace. (laughs) I was surprised to find that the water buffalo cart could hold more people than I had imagined! The water buffalo worked really hard. Along the way, a staff member played the sanshin and sang Okinawan folk songs, which was wonderful to listen to while enjoying the scenery of Taketomi Island. We were able to spend a very relaxing and soothing time!

当日、雨予報だったので心配していたのですが、予報は外れ見事な快晴!!
とっても良いお天気の中、水牛車に乗りました。わたしたちを担当してくれた水牛さんは、凄くマイペースで休憩タイムが多かったですが、その分ゆっくり周りの景色を楽しむことができました。笑
水牛車の定員が想像してたより多くてびっくり！
水牛さん、大変頑張ってました。
途中でスタッフの方が、三線を弾きながら沖縄民謡を歌ってくださったのですが、竹富島の風景を堪能しながら聴く民謡にすごく良かったです。
まーったりゆーったりとても癒しのひときを過ごすことができました！

I participated in the tour because I wanted to enjoy the beautiful scenery and sightseeing, and it included a stop at the airport after the tour to return to Tokyo that evening. However, the female guide was so entertaining, and when she started playing the sanshin and singing Yaeyama folk songs, someone from the same tour began to whistle, turning the bus into a mini concert hall. The scenery visible from the bus windows perfectly matched the moment, making it a memorable first visit to Ishigaki Island. At the airport, I had coffee at the southernmost Starbucks in Japan before heading home. I would love to join again.

By the way, I found it impressive that the number of guides on Ishigaki Island is fewer than the number of Iriomote cats on Iriomote Island. Keep up the great work, guides!

綺麗な景色と観光を楽しみたいのと、当日の夕方、東京に帰る為ツアー終了後に空港に寄るツアーと言う事で参加しました。しかし、ツア－の女性のガイドさんの話しが楽しく、ガイドさんの三線（サンシン）と八重山民謡（島唄）が始まると、同じツア－の方が指笛を吹いて、バスの中はちょっとしたコンサート会場のようで、その時の車窓から見えた景色ととても良く合い、心残る初めての石垣島となりました。空港では、国内最南端にあるスタバックスでコーヒーを飲んで帰りました。また参加したいです。
そう言えば、石垣島のガイドさんの数は、西表島のイリオモテヤマネコの数より少ないと言っていたのも印象的でした。ガイドさん頑張って～

I went on a Beltora sightseeing tour for the first time this time. The bus was almost full, but more than half of the passengers were foreigners. What I enjoyed about this tour were the Churaumi Aquarium and Mihama American Village. The aquarium had many people in the areas with good views and dining options. It might be better to stagger the timing. Mihama American Village has many shops around, and while exploring various stores, time flies by quickly. It's a great tour that offers plenty of enjoyment for the price. If I have the opportunity, I would like to try a different tour as well.

今回初めてベルトラの観光ツアーに行ってきました。
バスはほぼ満員でしたが半分以上が外国人の方でした。
今回のツアーで良かったのは美ら海水族館と美浜アメリカンビレッジでした。
水族館は眺めの良い場所や食事処は人がいっぱいでした。時間をずらせたら良いかも。
美浜アメリカンビレッジは周りにもお店ができていて、あれこれと探しながらの色々なお店を見ることができてあっという間に時間が過ぎてしまいます。
値段の割には十分楽しめて良いツアーです。
機会があれば違う内容のツアーも行ってみたいです。

I thought the early bus pickup might be a bit tough, but I ended up enjoying myself a lot. The procedures at the terminal were quick, and we boarded a ship that was more impressive and comfortable than I expected. The arrangements for the transfer were efficient, with hardly any time wasted. It was a shame we couldn't go further into Iriomote Island due to low tide, but I had fun discovering rare birds. The lunch on Yubu Island, though small, was filled with homemade local dishes that made me feel the essence of Okinawa. Taketomi Island truly looked like something out of a poster, and time seemed to flow slowly there. The return trip was also by bus, and the transfer procedures were quick, which was great. Overall, I really felt I got my money's worth with this experience. I highly recommend it. Dorikan-kun was super cute.

バスの迎えが早くて少し辛いかなと思いましたが、そんな心配もよそにとても満喫できました。ターミナルでの手続きも早く終わり船に乗り込みましたが思っていたより立派な船で快適でした。移動の段取りは手早くて時間ロスはほとんどありませんでした。西表島では干潮で奥まで行けなかったのは残念でしたが珍しい鳥を発見したりして楽しかったです。由布島でのお弁当は、小さいながらも中には手作りの郷土料理がいっぱい入っていて沖縄を感じられました。竹富島はほんとにポスターで見るようで、時間がゆっくり流れていました。帰りもバスでしたが乗り継ぎの手続きも早くてとても良かった。全体的にこのお値段で本当に満喫できたと思います。おすすめです。ドリカン君がとってもキュート。

The tour itself was enjoyable without any issues. However, I think there is a problem with the bus transfers. Since there are no assigned seats, those who return to the bus early get to choose their seats, and those who arrive late end up separated from their families on different buses. It seemed difficult for those with small children. There are two bus transfers.

ツアー自体は問題無く楽しめました。
しかし途中のバス移動に問題があると思います。
座席が指定されていないので早くバスに戻った人から座るようで、遅れて来た方は、家族で離れて別のバスになっていました。小さいお子様連れの方は、大変そうでした。バス移動は2回あります。

While in Japan I saw some of the most breathtaking places I have ever visited, including Mt. Fuji. We were going to attempt a trip on our own, but were so very glad we signed up for this tour!
