All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

I wanted to visit Shirakawa-go, so I joined a tour. We departed from Kanazawa Station, traveled through the White Road to Shirakawa-go, and then explored Takayama and experienced making rice crackers before returning to Kanazawa Station. During the bus ride, we were able to look at brochures while receiving explanations about the highlights and delicious food, which made for an efficient sightseeing experience. It took about 10 hours from departure to return, but they created quiet time for us to rest during the journey, allowing us to enjoy the entire trip! There was also an interpreter on board, so about half of the participants were from overseas, and they accommodated vegetarian meals as well. I was very satisfied with both the tour content and the staff's service. Thank you!

白川郷に行ってみたくてツアーに参加しました。
金沢駅を出発して、ホワイトロードを通って白川郷に行き、そのあと高山散策とお煎餅焼き体験をして金沢駅に戻ってくるツアーでした。
バスの移動中にパンフレットを見ながら見所や美味しい食べ物の説明をしてもらえたので、効率よく観光できたと思います。
出発から戻ってくるまで10時間くらいかかりましたが、移動中に寝れるよう静かな時間を作ってくれたので、最後まで楽しく過ごせました！
通訳さんも乗っていたので、参加者の半分くらいは海外からの参加者で、ベジタリアン食とかも対応してました。
ツアーの内容も、スタッフの方々の対応も大満足でした。ありがとうございました！

I recommend this for those who want to see a lot in a limited amount of time. The travel time is long, but our guide kept us entertained, so it wasn't boring.

限られた時間でたくさん周りたい人にオススメです。
移動時間が長いですが、ガイドさんに楽しませていただいたので退屈しませんでした。

The thrill of passing through White Road is amazing. You can't see such breathtaking scenery even in Hokkaido. Also, the guide was great.

ホワイトロードを通過する時のあの恐怖感、最高です。北海道でも、あれだけの絶景は見られません。それと、ガイドさんも良かったですよ。

I felt a bit cheesy having to book a tour to see places on Tokyo that you could just take the train to go see, but it was worth it. Our tour guide was down to earth and knowledable. Learned a lot about Japan while on the tour, as well as enjoyed being stress free with being on a bus rather than navigate the city myself. No one batted an eye when I ordered wine with my lunch, and others even joined. Would recommend. Get the skytree tower included, as it was amazing to see once up there.

I booked this trip about two weeks in advance thinking all would go well, but it rained the entire time. It’s not the tour guides fault, but was a bit disappointed we didn’t get to see Mt Fuji not get to take the sky ride. The tour guide and layout, however, were excellent! The tour guide was quite humorous and was able to take light off of the fact that we had bad weather. Was still worth the money.

Recently, I joined this tour during my trip to Kyoto. The itinerary started with gathering at Kyoto Station and taking a train to Fushimi Inari Taisha. From there, we met up with a group from Osaka and explored Kiyomizu-dera, Kinkaku-ji, and Arashiyama by bus.

The tour included a Japanese guide who spoke English, but generally, participants had the freedom to explore on their own, with the guide introducing recommended spots. I rated this experience as "good" mainly because the overall time allocation was well-balanced. However, the guide's walking speed was quite fast, making it difficult for participants to keep up. Given that these tourist spots are already crowded, I would have appreciated a bit more consideration for the participants. I felt it might be a bit tough for elderly people, those with disabilities, pregnant women, and families with small children.

Overall, the itinerary allowed for a leisurely exploration of Kyoto's attractions, creating great memories, so I was quite satisfied.

先日、京都旅行で本ツアーに申し込み、参加してきました。
旅程は京都駅に集合し電車で伏見稲荷大社へ移動、伏見稲荷大社からは大阪から参加していたグループと合流し、バスで清水寺、金閣寺、嵐山を散策するものでした。
ツアーには英語ができる日本人ガイドさんが同行しますが、基本的には各人自由行動であり、ガイドさんがお勧めのスポットを紹介してくださる内容となっていました。
今回の評価を「よかった」にしたのは全体的に時間配分が程よく良かったのですが、ガイドさんの歩くスピードが速く参加者が付いて行くのに大変そうだったのでこの評価とさせて頂きました。ただでさえ混雑している観光地なので参加者にもう少し気配りして頂けると嬉しかったです。お年寄りや身体が不自由な方、妊婦さん、小さなお子様連れにはちょっと厳しいかなと感じました。
今回の旅程は京都の観光地をゆっくり散策でき、いい思い出となったので十分満足できました。

On September 19 (Wednesday), with clear skies and sunshine, I eagerly awaited the bus tour to the northernmost point of Okinawa. It was a perfect day for a drive. The magnificent view from Cape Hedo and the adjacent Daichi Forest Mountain felt divine, and I can't be the only one who thinks so. Just exploring this place, away from the mundane world, somehow calms my heart, cleanses me, and heals me. Moreover, I was comforted by the attentive hospitality of the staff there, thank you very much. However, I was disappointed that the exploration time at Daichi Forest Mountain was short, and if there had been a guide, it would have been an impeccable tour. The tour included the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium and the Oki-chan Show, and I was very satisfied.

P.S. Lastly, I would like to request an adjustment to the volume of the earphones. The sound was just too loud. That's all. I would also like to participate in other tours.

9/19(水曜日)晴天(太陽)待ちに待った、沖縄最北端のバスツアー、絶好のドライブ日和です。辺戸岬から見る壮大な絶景、それに隣接する大石林山⛰神々しい感じがするのは、私だけでは無いはず。俗世間を離れそこを探索するだけで、何故か心が落ち着く、洗われる、癒されるそんな大石林山です。しかもそこのスタッフの皆さんの細かなおもてなしにもいやされました、ありがとうございました。ただ、残念だったのが、大石林山での探索時間が、短かったのと、ガイドさんが居てくれたら、言う事無しのツアーです。
美うみ水族館とオキちゃんショーと大満足のツアーでした。
追伸:最後になりますが、イヤホンのボリュームの調整をしてもらいたいです。とにかく音が大きかったです。以上 又、他のツアーにも参加したいです。

During the bus ride, a standard guide announcement in six languages is provided through earphones to accommodate many foreign visitors. Japanese people can choose Japanese and listen to the guide through the earphones.

It may be a bit old-fashioned, but I wished for some scenery and explanations during the bus ride. I also think it's pointless to say such things in this day and age.

バスの移動中は、多くの外国人に対応するため、6か国語に対応する定型のガイド案内をイヤフォンにより案内されます。日本人は日本語を選びイヤフォンからのガイドを聞きます。
昭和なのかもしれませんが、バスの移動中には景色とか説明等が欲しかったです。時代的にそんなことを言っていてもしょうがないとも思っています。

We went on the tour on a Sunday over a long weekend so the traffic heading to Mount Fuji was bad. What usually takes 90mins became a 3 hours bus ride there. What was meant to be a 9 hour tour became a 12 hour tour because of the traffic jam going and returning. We had Blair as our guide and he did a great job managing our expectations, cracking jokes so that the long hours in the bus were bearable. He was really friendly and helpful. We didn't have much time at Ninja Village and Lake Kawaguchi because of the traffic jam, but we got to see Mount Fuji very clearly from the 5th station. The 4D simulation ride was also good fun although I did feel a bit giddy after watching it (from the visuals). I would still recommend it nonetheless.

The buffet lunch was average, and not worth 2,000 Yen in my opinion, but because of the crowds there, it was helpful to have lunch provided and all ready when you arrive (saves a lot of time).

If you don't have time to stay over in that area, this tour covers a lot in a day.

I'm glad it was sunny during the three-day weekend in September. Since it's a straightforward route, I don't think there's a chance of getting lost, but I'm glad I joined the tour for the guide's explanations and photo opportunities. The direct bus made it easy to sleep on the way back and forth.

9月の３連休、晴れて良かったです。
１本道なので迷うことはないとは思いますが、ガイドさんの説明、写真ポイントがあり、ツアーに参加して良かったです。
直行バスなので、往復は寝ることができて楽でした。

しかし、どの場所でも時間が限られていて、うまく写真を撮ることができません。

But the time is too limited in every spot and I can't take photo very well

Thank you for the comfortable tour. Perhaps because the reviews I saw in advance were so wonderful, it didn't quite reach the highest level of excitement, but it was a very satisfying tour.

In particular, the guide's explanations were kind and thorough, incorporating a lot of information that I wanted to know. I felt a high level of likability, which I believe is also due to their personality.

Regarding the minimum number of participants, I hesitated when applying, wondering if the tour would be canceled if there were fewer than four people. However, I learned that it is conducted about 300 times a year. If that had been clearly stated, I might have applied without hesitation.

快適なツアーを有難うございました。
事前に拝見した口コミがあまりにも素晴らしかったせいか、最高でした！までのテンションには至らなかったのですが、とても満足なツアーでした。
特にガイドさんの説明は、親切 丁寧で
知りたいと思うことをたくさん盛り込んでくださいました。お人柄もあると思いますが好感度高く感じました。

催行人数についてですが、4人に満たなかった場合は取りやめ？と申し込み時に迷いました。けれど、実際は年300回位
実施されているとのこと、そのように表記されていたら悩まずすんなり申し込めたかしら、と思いました。

I was very tired, but the weather was also favorable, and I was able to enjoy myself a lot thanks to the many explanations provided. I would like to request this company again when the opportunity arises.

とても疲れましたが、天気にも恵まれ、たくさん解説等していただきとても楽しく過ごすことができました。
また機会があるときは、こちらの会社にお願いしたいと思っています。

I participated in the Jomon Sugi trekking tour, which included direct bus transportation to the Arakawa trailhead.

Normally, you would need to transfer to a mountain bus at the Yakushima Nature Museum (which costs an additional 2,380 yen), but this tour included the bus fare to the Arakawa trailhead, making it very convenient to go directly from the accommodation (laughs).

I found this price to be surprisingly affordable compared to other tour companies.

On the day of arrival, a staff member came to our accommodation for a briefing the next day (though we couldn't meet at the airport, which was part of the reason), and I handed over the cooperation fee of 1,000 yen to complete everything.

We departed a bit early (at 3:58), but that allowed us to act before it got crowded.

Perhaps because it was before a holiday, there were unusually many people in front of the Yakushima Nature Museum where we would have transferred buses, but seeing that while going directly to the trailhead felt good (laughs).

I highly recommend the Yakushima Trekking Tour for its operation.

縄文杉トレッキングツアー 荒川登山口までの直行バス送迎付きに参加しました。

通常では屋久島自然館で登山バス(別途2,380円)に乗り換える必要があるのですが、このツアーは荒川登山口迄のバス料金も含まれていて、宿から登山口直行でとても楽チンでした(笑)。

このお値段は他のツアー会社と比べて不思議な程お得に思いました。

到着した日、翌日の打ち合わせに宿迄来てくださった(実際は空港で会えなかった所為もありましたが)係りの人に協力金の1,000円を渡して全て完了です。

少し早目(3:58)の出発でしたが、その分混まないうちに行動出来ました。

連休前の所為かバスに乗り換える屋久島自然館の前が異常に人が多かったのですが、それを横目に見ながら登山口直行は、気分も良かったですよ(笑)。

ツアーオペレーションの屋久島トレッキングツアーはお勧めです。

The guide was enjoyable, and the time allocation was just right for us to have fun. However, we had some extra time at American Village at the end, so I would be happier if there were tours that do not include American Village.

ガイドさんも楽しい方でしたし、時間配分もちょうど良く楽しめました。最後のアメリカンビレッジだけ時間を持て余してしまったので、アメリカンビレッジの付いていないツアーもあると、より嬉しいです。

Despite the situation regarding the impact of Typhoon No. 22, I was able to enjoy the entire itinerary without any issues. The guidance and operations were well-organized, and there were no inconveniences at all.

If there are other tours organized by the same company, I would like to participate in those as well.

台風22号の影響がどう出るかという状況ながら、全行程無事に満喫できました。
誘導やオペレーションも慣れていて何も不自由ありませんでした。

同社が催行するツアーであれば他のものも参加してみたいです。

the tour was good.the tourist guide was friendly.the best part was at the oshino ninja village,we were able to watch the ninja show.it would be advisable to get this tour during spring time,to see the mt. fuji clearly.

You can spend a very relaxing time with the water buffalo! You ride in a water buffalo cart while listening to the shamisen being played. The duration seems to vary depending on the mood of the water buffalo!

水牛と一緒にとてものんびりとした時間を過ごすことができます！！三味線を弾いてもらいながら水牛車に乗ります。水牛の気分によって所要時間はまちまちなようです！

It was the best trip where I could fully enjoy Okinawa all day long. I am truly, truly satisfied with this tour!

- The contrast between the sky and sea at Kouri Island is amazing!
- The Churaumi Aquarium is wonderful no matter how many times you see it!
* Emerald Beach is a secret beach worth visiting!
- The Busena Marine Park was great for observing the fish up close!
- Mihama American Village can't be explored in just 1.5 hours, but it's fun just to look around.
* The sunset is absolutely the best! It's indescribable, like being in a foreign country!

Thank you to our tour guide, Mr. Yamashiro, and our driver, Mr. Touma!

とにかく一日中沖縄を満喫できた最高の旅でした。
本当に本当に大満足なツアーですよ～！
・古宇利島の空と海のコントラストは最高！
・美ら海水族館は何度見ても素晴らしいのひとこと！
　※エメラルドビーチは行って見る価値ありのマル秘ビーチ！
・ブセナ海中公園は、海中の魚をじっくり見れて良かった！
・美浜アメリカンビレッジは1.5時間じゃ回れない。けど見るだけで楽しい。
　※サンセットはも～最高！なんとも言えない。異国のような感覚！

添乗員のヤマシロさん、ドライバーのトウマさんありがとうございました！

A plan to take your time from morning until evening. The driver and guide were both enjoyable and made the time fly by. It was great to leisurely travel the White Road, a place you wouldn't typically visit on your own, with stunning views from the car window. Even with the holiday crowds, we were able to enter Shirakawa-go right away, a privilege of the tour. We were able to thoroughly explore three World Heritage sites, including the views from the car window.

朝から夕方まで、じっくりと行くプラン。運転手の方やガイドさんもそつなく楽しくあっという間でした。個人では中々行かないホワイトロードをゆっくりと行く、車窓からの景色は最高です。連休の混雑も脇目にツアーの特権？白川郷にすぐに入場できました。車窓を含めて三ヶ所の世界遺産をしっかり見学できました。

The meeting place wasn't described in detail, so I was a bit anxious at first. I was able to meet up with the agent after communicating via phone, but it only mentioned "in front of DFS," while in reality, it was in front of "Aoyama," a bit of a walk from DFS. I thought this was quite unclear, so I deducted one star.

However, I was glad to be able to visit major tourist spots in a day. The atmosphere is very welcoming, so I highly recommend it for those considering solo travel. The bus guide was very dedicated, and the driver was pleasant as well. We had to make an unexpected stop at a roadside station due to stomach pain. I was moved to tears by the warm hospitality. Thank you for creating such wonderful memories of Okinawa.

集合場所が詳しく書いていなかったので、最初焦りました。
代理店の人とtelやり取りで無事に落ち合う事ができましたが、DFS前と書いてあるだけだったですが実際にはDFSから少し歩いた「洋服の青山」前でした。
これは分かるわけないだろう、と思ったので星１つマイナス。

しかし、日帰りでメジャーな観光地に行けて良かったです。
1人参加でも全然大丈夫な雰囲気ですので、一人旅で参加を迷ってる方はぜひおすすめします。
バスガイドさんがすごく一生懸命で運転手さんも感じが良かったです。
途中、腹痛で急遽道の駅に止まって頂きました。
温かいおもてなしにに思わず涙してしまいました。
とても良い沖縄の思い出になりありがとうございました。

The mountain path was quite steep and not an easy journey, but I was able to see wonderful scenery and cute animals! Also, even though I was traveling alone, I ended up in a group with kids around my age, and we became friends and climbed together, creating wonderful memories! The cedar trees of Yakushima also refreshed my spirit, making it a great trekking experience! The guide explained everything clearly and entertainingly! Thank you very much!

なかなか険しい山道で楽な道のりではありませんが、素晴らしい景色や可愛い動物に会うことができました！また、1人旅でしたが歳が近い子たちと同じグループになり仲良くなって一緒に登ることができて素晴らしい思い出になりました！屋久島の杉たちに心も洗われとてもいいトレッキングでした！ガイドさんもわかりやすく面白く解説してくださいました！ありがとうございました！

I chose a bus tour for sightseeing in Okinawa since I am not familiar with driving. This was my first time using the service, and I was impressed by the tour guide's great energy, as they guided us with songs, dances, and jokes. They also actively encouraged us to take photos, which made for wonderful memories. I definitely want to use this service again for sightseeing.

運転に不慣れなためバスツアーを選択して沖縄観光しました。
初めて利用させて頂きましたが、添乗員さんのノリが良く、歌や踊り、冗談を交えながらガイドしてくださったのが印象的です。
写真を撮ってくださるのも、積極的に声を掛けてくださりとてもいい思い出になりました。
ぜひまた利用して観光したいなと思いました。

The tour was well organised, the tour guide was the best we had all week, Yoshi was helpful and informative. The weather was not the best but we still had an amazing time. 5th Station was very misty, the shrine there was worth a look. Cable car up to Volcano crater was good, black eggs and a spot of shopping. The boat trip was good, we managed to see Mount Fuji for about 30 seconds and got a picture too.

It takes 10 minutes by high-speed boat from Ishigaki Port to reach Taketomi Island!
I chose the water buffalo course.
I rode a water buffalo and leisurely circled around Taketomi Island!
After the ride, I was able to take photos with the water buffalo, and while I received some photos for free, I had to purchase the ones from different angles! Thank you for the memorable photos♪

石垣港より高速船で10分で竹富島に到着！
私は水牛コースを選びました。
水牛に乗りゆっくりと竹富島を1周！
乗り終わった後には水牛と一緒に写真を撮って頂き、その写真は頂けて違うアングル写真は購入でした！思い出の写真ありがとうございました♪

The guide was kind and explained things clearly. We were able to return safely despite the heavy rain that happens once a year! Thank you very much!

ガイドさんも親切でわかりやすく説明してくれました。一年に一回あるかないかの大雨の中、無事に帰って来られました！ありがとうございました！

Well presented, staff knowledge provided most helpful response to queries and made the day a great success

I participated with my mother. I was satisfied that we could efficiently visit the main tourist attractions even without a car. The time spent at places other than the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium was just right, allowing us to explore at a leisurely pace. I chose this tour because the stay times at each attraction were relatively long. It turned out to be just as I expected, which was great. Nago Pineapple Park was surprisingly enjoyable. The Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium had a three-hour time allocation, which was longer compared to other tours, but I felt like we could have used even more time there. Also, we were the only Japanese participants; the rest were from China, Taiwan, and South Korea. Everyone was very nice, and we had a great time together, although I was surprised at first!

母と2人で参加しました。車がなくても主要な観光地に効率よく行けて満足しました。美ら海水族館以外は滞在時間もほどよく、ゆっくり回れました。このツアーは、各観光地の滞在時間がわりと長めに設定されていたので選択しました。思ったとおりで良かったです。名護パイナップルパーク、意外と楽しめました。美ら海水族館は3時間の設定で、ほかのツアーに比べると長めでしたが、時間が足りないくらいでした。あと日本人はわたしたちだけで、あとは中国、台湾、韓国の方たちでした。皆さんとても良い方ばかりで楽しく過ごせましたが、最初は驚きました！

At the start from the Arakawa Trailhead, the sky was drizzling, but as we continued walking, the rain intensified. By the time we reached Wilson Stump, it had started to rain heavily like a shower.

Still, we pressed on. After five hours of walking, we finally arrived at Jomon Sugi! I was deeply moved by the vitality of Jomon Sugi. If possible, I wanted to get closer and touch it directly.

The round trip trekking in the rain took 10 hours and was exhausting, but that’s what made it an unforgettable experience.

荒川登山口スタート時には、小雨だった空模様も歩き進むとともに激しくなり、ウィルソン切株に着いた頃には、シャワーのような雨が降り始めた。
それでも前進あるのみ。歩き始めて5時間、遂に縄文杉にたどり着いた！
縄文杉の生命力に大感動でした。
できることなら側に行って、直に触れてみたかった。
雨の中の往復10時間のトレッキングは、疲労困ぱいだったが、だからこそ忘れられない良い思い出となった。

The price, which includes round-trip ferry tickets and rental bicycle fees, is a great deal. I also think it's appealing that you can choose your return time on the same day.

往復のフェリーチケット代とレンタサイクル代込みでこの価格は破格です。帰りの時間が当日選べるのも魅力だと思います。
