This tour was definitely the highlight of our trip to Japan! Our tour guide Blair was amazing and very informative. Not only did he keep us on schedule but he also gave us extra time at the stop on Mt. Fuji because it was such a nice clear day! All of the stops were very fun and the blueberry ice cream at the lake is a must eat! We we're lucky enough to see Mt Fuji from most of our stops that day including the lake. The 8 ponds also had a lot to do and we bought most of our souvenirs there. The lunch at ninja village is definitely recomended. And the 4d ride was a perfect finish to the whole day. If I had to change something about the tour I would possibly cut out either the ninja village or the 4d ride just to allow for more time at the other stops since it felt a little rushed. The value for your money is amazing and I will be telling all my friends to book this specific tour and request our amazing guide!! Blair was even helpful enough to give us recommendations for the rest of our trip on our bus ride back to shinjuku. Thank you for an amazing experience and we will definitely be back!

My family has been in Japan for few months now, but we did not quite make it to Mount Fuji since it is not as convenient as visiting most of the other sites. As a result, we booked the tour from Veltra which was a good idea. Although the price seemed on higher side, the offer tempted us to go ahead. The bus was good and the seats comfortable with good leg space. We were glad to have been offered an entire row of 4 seats all for ourselves, 2 + 1 kid. Free wi-fi on the bus was a bonus. Due to long weekend, there was more traffic which led to a delay of about an hour and the itinerary was changed, as we first headed to Oshino Ninja village for an early lunch. This place was pretty good with few options for veggies too. We got to click pics with Ninjas. Next stop was at Oshino Hakkai village with lovely fresh water, clear ponds and country-side houses which was picturesque. We then headed to Mt Fuji 5th station where the clouds played a spoil sport and hence we could not get a great view of the mountain. The time allotted here was less than 30 min which I felt was too less, as this was the main site of visit, expected at least an hour. The 4D activity was broken that day and was cancelled. Hence, as an alternate we got a boat ride at lake Kawaguchi and later went to the other side of the lake where we were in for some luck to see the Mt Fuji peak.
Overall a good experience, the guide Jack kept us engaged with information about Japan and ensured no-one was left behind!!
Thank you for joining our tour,
We are happy to hear that! We hope you have a lot of memories in Japan

It was my first time visiting the Churaumi Aquarium, and we were blessed with good weather. I really enjoyed such a dynamic aquarium with so much movement.
I wished we had a little more time to enjoy it.
The dolphin show was amazing, and I was surprised by the dolphins' abilities.
At Manzamo, as soon as we arrived, it started pouring rain, but miraculously, a beautiful big rainbow appeared.
At American Village, I was very satisfied that we could stretch our legs all the way to Sunset Beach!

When I arrived at Awa Port, I received a confirmation call from the guide about tomorrow's trekking. Since I had rented some gear, they brought it to my accommodation around 9:00 PM.
10/7
Departure was at 4:20. The guide picked me up by car at the accommodation. We drove along a winding mountain road and arrived at the entrance of Shiratani Unsuikyo. It was drizzling a bit, so we had breakfast in the car. After breakfast, I paid 1,000 yen at the entrance of Shiratani Unsuikyo, and the trekking began! At Shiratani Unsuikyo, famous for its Forest of the Mononoke, the guide had prepared finger puppets of Kodama, which made for some photogenic moments. The weather cleared up at Taiko Rock, and we were able to enjoy a stunning view! At Wilson Stump, I saw a heart shape. We had lunch after seeing Jomon Sugi. For lunch, the guide prepared tonjiru (pork miso soup). After that, we descended the mountain. Around 3:00 PM, the guide gave me jelly and tankan juice. We proceeded along the trolley path and safely arrived at the Arakawa Trailhead. I took the bus at 4:30 PM and reached the accommodation by 6:00 PM.
〈Impressions〉
- It was very fulfilling and fun! I was worried about covering everything in one day, but with the stamina of a woman in her 20s, it's totally fine even if you don't usually exercise!
- The guide's hospitality was amazing! I don't know if it was personal, but they also gave me tonjiru and dessert. They took a lot of photos, which made for great memories! I was really happy to take a picture with Kodama in the Forest of the Mononoke!!
- I was able to sightsee efficiently! The guide taught us about history and nature. I thought it would be tough to deal with the sweat before heading home if I participated in a half-day tour on the second day.

I was looking forward to having a guide who was an older man, but it turned out to be a woman. She was very experienced and I was able to hear various stories, which was nice in its own way. She made sure to take us to photogenic spots and helped us take as many pictures as possible at Kabira Bay.
The time spent at each landmark was short, but given that we wanted to see as much as possible within the time frame, it couldn't be helped. On the plus side, we were able to visit many places, which was fulfilling.
Since this was my several visits to Ishigaki Island, there were places I had already been to, but there was also new information, so I never got bored.
おじいのガイドが楽しみだったんですが、女性の方でした。経験豊富で、いろんな話も聞けましたし、それはそれでよかったです。写真写りがいい場所だとか、川平湾でできるだけ写真が撮れるようにと配慮してくれました。
各名所での滞在時間が短いですが、時間内に回ろうと思えば仕方ないですね。その分、たくさんの場所に行けて充実しています。
何回目かの石垣島なので、既に行ったことがある場所もあったのですが、新情報もあって飽きることはなかったです。

I chose this because it was cheap, but I wish I had read more reviews. I realized that since it's a worldwide site, there are many customers from the continent. The audio guide was just for listening, and I felt like a lunch refugee at the aquarium. The guide was quite businesslike, only focusing on the meeting time and roll call. I don't think it's suitable for those expecting Japanese-style service or for domestic travelers. I felt relieved when the driver said "Welcome back." The content of the tour was good.
安かったから選びましたが、もっとクチコミを読めばよかったです。ワールドワイドなサイトなので大陸からのお客さんが多いのだと気づきました。音声ガイドは聞くだけ・水族館でランチ難民・ガイド??さんは事務的で集合時間と点呼だけ…という感じで、
日本的対応を期待する方や国内旅行の方には向いていないと思います。運転手さんがおかえりなさいと言ってくれたのがホッとしました。

Dear [Name],
Thank you very much for participating in the bus tour organized by Jumbo Tours.
Our bus tours have seen a rapid increase in usage by international customers in recent years. We have been considering how to create an enjoyable experience for both domestic and international guests. As a result, we have introduced audio guides; however, it seems that the lack of a more personal touch has led to a somewhat bureaucratic impression. Moving forward, we aim to enhance our guides' training to provide a more friendly service. Thank you for your valuable feedback.
Regarding lunch at the aquarium, we recognize that there are few dining options in the vast area of the Ocean Expo Memorial Park, and we are considering improvements in this regard. We will continue to review our customer service and strive for more flexible responses, so we would be grateful if you would consider our bus tours again on your next visit to Okinawa.
Thank you once again for your valuable feedback. We sincerely look forward to your next visit to Okinawa.

I made a reservation the day before. I heard that the "Uncle Guide" has days off, and we were lucky to have him on that day, but if you can choose your schedule, I recommend checking in advance to ensure that the Uncle Guide is available on the day you book.
The pamphlet was specifically for the tour, so it was very clear about where we were going next and how long it would take, which gave me a great sense of reassurance. Kabira Bay was as beautiful as I had heard, but personally, I preferred Tamatorizaki Observatory!! It was incredibly beautiful even in October.
The Uncle Guide's explanations were very easy to understand and entertaining, so I found myself completely absorbed. Along the way, he played the sanshin and sang Yaeyama folk songs! I was really glad it was an Uncle Guide day (*・∀・*).
If I had to mention something, it would be that the Uncle Guide's voice was sometimes a bit quiet (I heard that people from Okinawa generally have soft voices), so it might be better to sit in the front seats of the bus.
前日に予約しました。「おじさんガイド」はお休みの日もあるとのこと、私たちはなまたまその日おじさんガイドでラッキーでしたが、日程を選べる場合はあらかじめ問い合わせて、おじさんガイドがお休みでない日に予約されることをお勧めします。
パンフレットがツアー専用なので、次はどこに行くのか、どれぐらいかかるかなど全て分かりやすく、非常に安心感のあるツアーでした。川平湾は聞いていた通りの綺麗さでしたが、それよりも個人的には玉取崎展望台がよかった!!10月なのにすごく綺麗です。
おじさんガイドの説明もすごく分かりやすく、かつ面白いので、ついつい聞き入ってしまいます。途中では三線を引かながら八重山の民謡を歌ってくださいます!本当におじさんガイドの日でよかったです(*・∀・*)
強いていうのであれば、おじさんガイドはたまに声が小さいので(沖縄の方は皆さん声が小さいと伺いました)、バスの前の席に座った方がいいかもしれません。

A tour that captures the best parts of Iriomote Island, Yubu Island, and Taketomi Island. The time allocation was just right, with no waiting times or idle moments, making it a very good tour. The mangrove cruise on Iriomote Island was especially enjoyable. On the ox cart ride to Yubu Island, the guide treated us to a beautiful song! I didn't have high expectations for the lunch since it was a bento box, but it turned out to be delicious, featuring several local Okinawan specialties. I couldn't finish the rice, so I wish I had gone with a bigger appetite!
西表島、由布島、竹富島のいいところだけを切り取ったツアー。時間配分もちょうどよく、特に待ち時間や暇な時間、あるいは足りない時間などがなかった、とてもよいツアーでした。西表島のマングローブクルーズが特に楽しかったです。由布島までの牛車では、ガイドさんが綺麗な歌声を披露してくださいました!昼食はお弁当ということであまり期待していませんでしたが、沖縄の名物が何種類も入った美味しいお弁当でした。お米が食べ切れなかったので、もっとお腹を空かせてから行けばよかったと思います笑

It was a 24 km trekking tour from Jomon Sugi to Taiko Rock to Shiratani Unsuikyo.
We were guided along the entrance while walking the trolley path, enjoying the highlights.
On the way there, we fully enjoyed the unique cedars in nature, and we had a private moment at the Wilson stump, taking plenty of photos.
It was great to see Jomon Sugi before it got crowded.
On the way back, while climbing Tsujitoge, we were able to see wild monkeys and deer up close, which was a rare experience.
We were also introduced to a location that inspired a Studio Ghibli work along the way, adding to the sense of value in the experience.
We were blessed with good weather, so the view from Taiko Rock was amazing.
The area between Taiko Rock and Shiratani Unsuikyo had fresh greenery and streams, and the green illuminated by the light from the shade of the trees was beautiful.
I also enjoyed the return trip from Shiratani Unsuikyo.
I imagined that a long trek might be tough, but both the way there and the return were filled with excitement as we enjoyed the sights.
It may be greedy, but I think it was three times more enjoyable.

We set off from the lodge in the early hours before dawn, and the tour began with us having breakfast while still half-asleep. I was anxious about my first trekking experience, but the guide frequently checked in with us and carefully considered our pace, making it easy for beginners to climb with confidence. Along the way, we took breaks to hydrate at a spring and, if we had time on the way down, we could go down to the river to ice our feet, providing a truly unique experience. Trekking while enjoying the scenery from "Princess Mononoke" took a total of 11 hours round trip, but it felt like no time at all! When I saw Jomon Sugi, I felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment!
夜も明けきらぬ時間帯に宿を出発し、寝ぼけ眼で朝食を食べることからツアーが始まりました。はじめてのトレッキングで不安でしたが、ガイドさんがこまめに声をかけてきてくれて、ペース配分もしっかり考えてくれるので、はじめての方は安心して登ることができます。途中、水が湧いているスポットで水分補給したり、下山途中に時間がある場合は川に降りて足をアイシングするなど、非日常的な体験をすることができました。「もののけ姫」の風景を楽しみながらのトレッキングは往復で11時間かかったけれど、あっという間でした!縄文杉を見たときは、なんとも言えない達成感でしたね!

I arrived in Osaka on Peach Aviation on September 29. Since I had some time before checking into the hotel, I joined this tour. It's more economical than purchasing the ferry fare and water buffalo cart tickets separately. After the tour, I strolled around the island, but even though it's the end of September, it was over 30°C and blazing hot. Walking around is quite difficult. I definitely recommend renting a bicycle as well. However, the village has coral sand laid out, which can be slippery; I saw several people slip and fall. It's best to explore the outer roads by bicycle and walk around the village.
9月29日にピーチ航空で大阪から到着。ホテルにチェックインするまで時間があるのでこちらのツアーに参加しました。フェリー代と水牛車のチケットを別々に購入するよりお得です(^^)ツアー終了後は徒歩で島を散策しましたが、9月の終わりとは言え30℃越えのカンカン照り。徒歩で回るには無理があります。是非レンタサイクルもつけましょう。ただし集落内はサンゴ砂が敷き詰めてあるため、よく滑るようで、何人も滑ったり転んだりする人を見ました。外周道路は自転車で、集落内は徒歩で散策するのがオススメです。

I participated in a tour of the Churaumi Aquarium.
I didn't research beforehand, so it was disappointing that there was no all-you-can-eat pineapple at the first stop, Nago Pineapple Park.
The stay at the Churaumi Aquarium was three hours, and I thought that would be long, but once I got there, I realized that it wasn't nearly enough time.
Overall, I think the tour was packed with activities.
However, it was a bit disappointing that there were hardly any Japanese participants, and instead of hearing directly from the guide, we only listened to a multilingual audio guide through earphones.

ガイドさんの直接の話ではなく、多国語対応の音声ガイドをイヤホンで聞くだけなので、
その点はちょっと残念。
Dear Daichan,
Thank you very much for participating in the bus tour organized by Jumbo Tours. I apologize for the delay in my response.
Regarding the all-you-can-eat experience at Nago Pineapple Park, have you visited this facility before? The facility has suspended pineapple tastings since last summer. Currently, they offer tastings of sweets made with pineapple and juice sampling. It feels a bit disappointing, especially since Okinawa boasts the highest domestic pineapple production.
Additionally, our bus tours have seen a rapid increase in customers from overseas in recent years. We strive to provide the best hospitality to ensure all customers enjoy their experience. In considering how to create a shared enjoyment for both domestic and international guests, we have implemented audio guides.
It seems you felt a bit unsatisfied with the guide's performance. We appreciate your feedback regarding the desire to hear directly from the guide. We will review the guide's content to ensure that even with the audio guide, there is time for the guide to provide additional explanations, allowing all guests to enjoy the experience.
Thank you very much for your valuable feedback. We sincerely look forward to your participation in our bus tour during your next visit to Okinawa.

名護パイナップルパークでの食べ放題に関しまして、以前同施設をご利用されたのでしょうか?
当該施設は昨年夏ごろよりパイナップル試食を休止しております。
現在はパイナップルを使って作ったお菓子の試食やジュースの試飲を行っております。
参考 → http://www.nagopain.com/news/post_9.html
パイナップル国内収穫量 第1位とうたっている沖縄県だけに少し寂しさを感じますね。
また、弊社のバスツアーは近年海外からのお客様利用が急激に増えている現状でございます。
全てのお客様へ楽しんでいただけるよう最大限のおもてなしを心がけております。
国内・海外のお客様含めて一緒に楽しめるのは何か?と考えた結果、弊社では音声ガイドでのご案内にいたりました。
ガイドの対応に少し物足りなさを感じられたようでございますね、
お客様からの”ガイドから直接話が聞けたら”というご意見、
音声ガイドがあっても補足事項等があればガイドから説明する時間を設けられるよう
今後ガイド内容を見直し、どのお客様にも楽しんでいただけるよう努めてまいります。
貴重なご意見誠にありがとうございました。
次回沖縄へお越しの際も、弊社のバスツアーへのご参加を心よりお待ちしております。

It was my first trip to Yakushima. I was torn between the Jomon Sugi course and the Shiratani Unsuikyo course, but I found a course that allows you to experience both in one day. I was a bit anxious about trekking from 4 AM to 6 PM, but thanks to our guide, I was able to enjoy the forest of Yakushima, where the Kodama (tree spirits) are said to reside. I took a lot of photos and created wonderful memories! If I go to Yakushima again, I would love to request the same guide. Thank you for the wonderful experience!
初めての屋久島旅行でした。縄文杉コースか白谷白雲峡コースか迷っていたところ、この2コースを1日で回れるコースを見つけました。4時から18時にかけてトレッキングをするのは不安でしたが、ガイドさんのお陰でこだまのいる屋久島の森を味わうことができました。たくさん写真を撮って頂き、素敵な思い出ができました!また屋久島で行くのであれば同じガイドさんにお願いしたいです。素敵なありがとうございました!!

The day before it rained, so I was worried about the weather, but luckily it only drizzled. Moreover, because of that, there was a rainbow in the view from Taiko Rock! Waking up at four in the morning and walking for nearly half a day was quite tough, but it was worth it.
前日が雨だったので天気が心配でしたが、運よく小雨程度で済みました。しかもそのおかげで太鼓岩からの景色に虹が!!朝四時起きで半日近くあるくのはなかなかきつかったですが、それだけの価値はありました。

Many hotels had pick-up services, and since it was the first hotel, the wait was too long. There was no commentary from the guide, so it felt boring. Also, the small gifts, like stickers, weren't very exciting. I wished we had more time at the aquarium.
多くのホテルにお迎えがあり、最初のホテルだったのでその時間が長すぎました。ガイドの話もなく暇でした。そしてプチプレゼントがシールなどであまり嬉しくなかったです。
また、水族館の時間がもっと欲しかったです。

The shuttle service from the hotel was very helpful. I was able to smoothly arrange for the boat, water buffalo, and cycling. I paid 300 yen for an hour to upgrade to an electric bike on-site, which was a good decision since the roads were sandy and had unexpected ups and downs. Taketomi Island is a wonderful place. You can walk around the village, but definitely try to bike to Nishizaki Pier and Kondoi Beach. You'll be amazed!
ホテルからの送迎があり、とても助かりました。船、水牛、サイクリングとスムーズに手続きできました。自転車は一時間300円を現地で払って電動にしましたが、道が砂地で案外アップダウンがあるので正解でした。竹富島は素敵な島です。集落は歩いても回れますが、西桟橋やコンドイ浜へもぜひ自転車で行ってみて下さい。感動します!

The distance traveled and the walking distance were long, and it was quite challenging in the heat, but I was really happy with the guide's hospitality. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime bus tour. I definitely want to meet this bus guide again and do some sightseeing. Of course, I felt that we efficiently visited the tourist spots, and the cost performance was very high.
移動距離と歩く距離が長く、暑い中でしたので少し大変でしたが、ガイドさんのおもてなしの心がすごく嬉しかったです。本当に一期一会なバスツアーでした。ぜひまた今回のバスガイドさんにお会いして観光したいと思います。もちろん、観光地も効率よく周れてコストパフォーマンスはとても高いと感じました。

For this price, you can visit five places in one day, and it includes an admission ticket to the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, along with a fun tour guide who provides interesting information about the sights. The tourist spots were great, but especially the guide! Not only did they provide information about the highlights, but they also performed island songs and even changed from their guide uniform into traditional clothing to sing. They were a talented and charming person!
このお値段で1日フルに5箇所も回れて、美ら海水族館の入場券もついて、バスガイドさんによる楽しい見所案内も付いてます。
観光地も良かったですが、特にガイドさん!
見所案内もさることながら、島歌を披露してくれたり、さらにガイドさんの制服から伝統衣装?にチェンジして唄ってくれたり、芸達者な可愛いらしい方でした!

I was able to fully enjoy a packed one-day schedule. I thought it was strange to have both the water buffalo ride from Iriomote Island to Yufu Island and the water buffalo cart in Taketomi, but both offered different experiences, and I understood why they were both included! I would like to use this service again.
1日スケジュールの詰まった予定を満喫出来ました。
西表島から由布島への水牛と竹富での水牛車の何で二回と思っていたのですが、どちらも違う体験ができて、なるほどと納得でした❗
又利用したいです。

On the day I participated, it was raining from the morning, but in the forest, the trees acted like umbrellas, so I didn't feel it much. The guide was considerate and tried to show us good views, but in the end, we couldn't see anything from Taiko Rock due to the fog. However, it felt like we got to see a rare sight, and it was a lot of fun. The Shiratani Unsuikyo in the rain was nice too, with clear air, but I want to come back for a revenge visit on a sunny day next time.
参加した日は朝から雨が降っていましたが、森の中では木が傘の役割を果たしてくれてあまり感じませんでした。ガイドさんは良い景色を見せようと配慮してくださって、結局太鼓岩からは霧で何も見えませんでしたが、逆にレアな景色が見れたようでとても楽しかったです。雨の白谷雲水峡も空気が澄んでいて良かったですが、次は晴れている日にリベンジしたいです。

There were few snack shops inside and around the Churaumi Aquarium, so there wasn't much to eat, and we ended up ordering something reluctantly. We realized it was our mistake, and if we had known in advance, we would have bought snacks at a convenience store.
As for the tour itself, we were very satisfied and grateful!! The tour guide was really kind and handled the troubles of the Chinese tourists quickly and smartly, looking very cool while doing so!!
美ら海水族館の中やその周辺に、軽食屋さんが少なくて、食べたいものがなかったけど、仕方なく注文して食べた…という感じでした。私たちが悪いが、事前に分かってたら、コンビニで軽食を買ってたなぁ…と自分達のミスに反省しました。
ツアーじたいは、とても満足で感謝しかなかったです!!添乗員の方も本当に親切で、中国人ツアー客のトラブルにも迅速に対応されてて、格好良くスマートにされていました!!
Dear Sun Protection Team,
Thank you very much for participating in the bus tour organized by Jumbo Tours. I sincerely apologize for the delay in my response.
I appreciate your kind words about our tour guide. We strive to ensure that all our guests, including those from overseas, have a wonderful experience.
Currently, while the Churaumi Aquarium is located within the Ocean Expo Memorial Park and has a vast area, there are unfortunately few dining options available. We believe it is our duty to improve this situation, which aligns with our spirit of hospitality.
Starting in January, it will be the flower season in Okinawa. Okinawa is beautiful at any time of the year, with stunning flowers and beautiful seas that reflect the changing seasons. We sincerely look forward to your participation in our bus tours when you visit Okinawa again.
~ We look forward to seeing you again ~

この度は、ジャンボツアーズ主催のバスツアーへご参加頂き、誠にありがとうございました。
お礼の返信が遅くなってしまい大変失礼しました。
添乗員へのお褒めのお言葉をいただき有難うございます。
海外からのお客様が増える一方でどのようなお客様にも喜んでいただけるよう努めております。
また、美ら海水族館は海洋博記念公園内にあり敷地が広いのに対し飲食店が少ないのが現状でございます。
このような現状を改善していくのも私共の義務でありおもてなし精神に通づるものと考えます。
1月からは沖縄花のシーズンとなります。
季節に応じた美しい花々や美しい海などいつ来ても美しい沖縄です。
また沖縄へお越しの際は、弊社のバスツアーへのご参加を心よりお待ちしております。
~またお会いできることを楽しみしております~
