All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

The meeting place at Ishigaki Port was easy to find, and we received our tour tickets and boarded the ship. I was worried that it might be rocky due to the bad weather, but we arrived at Iriomote without any issues. The sightseeing on Iriomote Island was done by boat and bus, while Yufu Island was explored on foot with water buffalo. On Taketomi Island, we toured by water buffalo and bus. It was great that we could efficiently visit all the sightseeing spots. However, the guidance for the return ship on Taketomi Island was a bit unclear.

石垣港の集合場所もすぐにわかり、ツアーチケットをいただき乗船
天気が悪かったので、揺れるかなと心配しましたが、特に問題なく西表に到着
西表島は船とバスでの観光　由布島は水牛と徒歩での観光
竹富島は水牛とバスでの観光　全て観光名所を効率的に回れて良かったです。※竹富島で帰りの船への案内が分かりにくかったです。　　

First, we took a bus to visit Hoshi no Suna and Kondoi Beach, which took about 30 minutes. The stories about Taketomi Island during the ride were quite funny.
Next was the water buffalo tour. The guide's explanations were excellent, and I laughed a lot (though it was a bit hard to understand due to the accent). Still, I was surprised by how intelligent water buffalo are. It was amazing that the leading was done not by the guide, but by the wisdom and experience of the water buffalo. Thank you, water buffalo!

　まず、バスを利用して星の砂、コンドイビーチ等を訪れ約３０分くらい、車中での竹富島のお話、結構笑わせます。
　次は水牛観光です。ガイドさんの説明、これもうまい、うまい、大笑いしました。（多少、訛りでわかりずらかったですが）それにしても、水牛は、大変賢い動物だと思いました。道中、先導はガイドではなく、水牛の知恵と経験でおこなっているのに、びっくりです。水牛さん、ご苦労様でした。

I participated alone, but I didn't mind at all and had a great time. It was my first time in Okinawa, so I was able to visit all the main attractions and fully enjoy my experience.

一人での参加でしたが、全く気にならず楽しめました。初めての沖縄だったので主要なところは全て回れて満喫できました。

Solo trip. I thought it would be a long drive, but I wanted to be healed by the nature and atmosphere of Okinawa, so I signed up for a tour with a guide's performance among the many bus tours available! I was surprised to see many foreign participants, but we laughed a lot thanks to the guide's hospitality, and in the end, it was moving✨ The weather was great, and it was a fun day! Thank you, Oshi-san and Kinjō-san, for the best day ever! I will use your services again (*^▽^)/★*☆♪

一人旅。車で行くのは遠いなーと思いつつ、沖縄の自然や雰囲気に癒されたくて、数あるバスツアーの中でもから、ガイドさんのパフォーマンスつきのツアーを申し込みました！
外国の方の参加が多くてビックリでしたが、ガイドさんのおもてなしによく笑い、最後は感動✨天気も良くて、楽しい１日でした！大城さん、金城さん、最高の１日をありがとうございました❗
また利用します(*^▽^)/★*☆♪

Overall experience: Great - almost perfect
- The tour guide, Hiroshi, was very engaging, friendly and approachable. He shared a lot of interesting facts about Japan and especially on Mt. Fuji which made it very interesting for us tourists.
- The tour guide also engaged the participants to listen better and remember the facts by having a mini game and giving some freebies from Japan which is good way for us to make activity more fun.
- The good side is the tour gave ample time for each activity which is enough for people to take photos and have some rest.
- The views during the tour was spectacular and breath taking.

Suggestions:
- During the time of our tour, the road to 2nd to 5th station was closed so we did not get to see Mt Fuji up close. We understand it is for safety purposes. Maybe we could have gotten another free ride to Fuji Q also.
- Food is good but could be improved. Maybe change the chicken tempura to ebi one since it is more popular and tasty.

This is our first trip to Mt. Fuji and we love the trip arranged by Taiji-san. We have no problem to communicate with him because he speak very well in English. And he tried to understand our need before start up the trip. He is kind of caring and understanding person.. Thanks for making this wonderful day to all of us!

We really had a great time to our visit to Mt. Fuji with Taiji and this is our second time to get our tour arrangement with him. He suggest all the best place to visit aside from the given places to visit. We will definitely contact him again with for our future guests.

The tour was a fantastic value for the price. Our guide Ari was great and very informative we appreciated all his extra insight on the history of the places we visited. We we're very lucky as the weather was perfect to see and explore the different sights we visited. The bus ride was comfortable and the Ninja Lunch was very satisfying i would recommend including it. The one down side to the entire trip was how much time you have at each destination, you must be quick if you want to see and enjoy all the different areas you visit. All in all i would say this tour is worth it for a wonderful day trip to the beautiful Mt Fuji.

On the second day of my stay in Okinawa, I participated in a tour. Despite it being the end of November, the temperature was 27 degrees, and the weather was clear, making it feel like summer. At the Churaumi Aquarium, the visit lasted a generous 150 minutes, allowing me to take my time to see the whale sharks, manta rays, sea turtles, and the dolphin show, and I even had time for some shopping. Throughout the day, I was able to visit Kadena Air Base, Manza Beach, and American Village as well, and since the aquarium entrance fee was included, I think it was a very worthwhile tour. On the bus, in addition to explanations of each sightseeing spot, they played various Okinawan background music, which helped me relax. It was a fun day!

沖縄滞在の2日目に参加しました。11月末だというのに、気温は27度、天気は快晴、まるで夏のような1日でした。美ら海水族館では、滞在時間が長めの150分なので、ジンベイザメ、マンタ、ウミガメ、イルカのショーなど、ゆっくり見ることができ、さらにショッピングをする余裕もありました。1日の中で、嘉手納基地や万座毛、アメリカンビレッジも訪れることができ、水族館の入場料込なので、とてもお得なツアーだと思います。バス車内では、各観光地の説明の他にも、様々な沖縄のBGM を流してくれて、リラックスできました。楽しい1日でした！

We are lucky to meet fuji san. Good thing the weather is fine, we were able to go to 2 stations. On station 5 we were able to see upclose to mt.fuji. Our lunch is in japanese style it was a boufet so were able to go back whenever we want. We also had a chance to watched ninja program for 800 yen. And able to go the clear river in the 8 ponds. We also had a change to take a picture with the old ninja house there. At the end of the tour we had the 4d experience wherein we were able to see and feel on how to travel to mt.fuji. i must say it was a very good experience. Most important is our guide , we dont have any problem with our guide because he is english speaker and fluent also in japanese. He said he is a student here in japan and studying japanese culture and history. It was a big extra for us because he has a lot of trivia that he shared that we dont know. Overall experience is great and reasonable for the price. Im highly recommend this tour for those who wants to be close to mt.fuji.

My wife initially prepared for a day of travel guided in English, boarding a medium-sized bus in front of Kanazawa Station. However, we were grateful for the spacious atmosphere inside the bus, which accommodated our group of four, an elderly couple, and another group of nine consisting of two daughters and their mother. The guide was considerate of our group having a foreigner and subtly included English explanations throughout the journey, for which my wife was very thankful. She was also impressed by how smooth and excellent the guide's English explanations were. The free exploration time in Shirakawa-go and Gokayama was ample, and the lunch was fulfilling and delicious.

On November 12th, we were blessed with good weather, and the autumn leaves were at their peak, making for a wonderful trip. Thank you very much.

家内は当初,今日も一日英語でガイドしながらの旅を覚悟して金沢駅前から中型バスに乗り込みました。ところが何と我々４名と老夫妻ともうひとグループはお嬢さん二人とお母さんの９名のゆったりとした車内の雰囲気に先ず感謝でした。ガイドさんが我々のグループに外人がいることに配慮して態々さりげなく随所に英語での説明を交えて道中ガイドしてくれた事に家内はまず大感謝でした。しかもガイドさんの英語の説明がサラリとしていて絶妙だったことにも感心していました。現地白川郷、五箇山での自由散策は時間的にも十分で、昼食も充実していて美味しかったです。
１１月１２日と好天に恵まれ紅葉も見頃で最高の旅が出来ました。
有難うございました。

Despite the challenges of having many foreign guests, you made the experience very enjoyable on the bus, and it became a wonderful memory! Thank you very much! (´▽`)♪

外国人が多く案内も大変ななか、車内でとても楽しませてくださり、良い思い出になりました！ありがとうございました(´▽`)♪

The weather was the only disappointment on this tour, but thanks to the tour guide and the bus driver, it was a fun day. Thank you very much.

今回のツアー、お天気だけが残念でしたが、添乗員さん、バス運転手さんのおかげで楽しい一日でした。有難うございました。

I heard that visiting both Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo in one day is quite a challenging course, but everyone enjoyed it until the end. (All participants were 29-year-old women and beginners in hiking.) Thanks to our guide managing the pace and break timings, it was a great experience.

Also, we had warm tonjiru (pork miso soup) for lunch. It was a cold day, so it really warmed us up. Thank you very much.

If someone I know goes to Yakushima, I will definitely recommend it.

縄文杉と白谷雲水峡どちらも１日で回るのはかなりハードなコースだと聞いていましたが、最後まで全員楽しめました。(全員29歳女性、登山初心者レベル)ペース配分、休憩タイミング等、ガイドさんが管理して下さったおかげです。
また、昼食時に温かい豚汁を頂きました。寒い日でしたので身体に染みました。ありがとうございました。
知人が屋久島へ行くことがあれば、必ずオススメします。

We had a wonderful time. We were lucky to have clear sky that allowed us to see the majestic Mt. Fuji.

Thank you so much and we enjoyed the trip tremendously!

Many hotels had pickups, and since it was the first hotel, the wait was too long. I wished I 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。
水族館の時間がもっと欲しかったです。

I requested the afternoon course, and I received a confirmation call the day before, which made me feel at ease for the day of the event! The tour included Yakusugi Land and the Kigen Sugi, and it was a great deal with an excellent guide and the opportunity to take photos from the best positions! Since they also provide transportation back to the accommodation, it serves as a convenient alternative for those who haven't rented a car, making it a win-win situation!

午後からのコースをお願いしましたが前日には確認のお電話があり、安心して当日を迎えることができました！ヤクスギランドと紀元杉の見学でしたが絶妙なガイドさんの案内プラスベストポジションでの写真撮影もあってとてもお得なコースでした！帰りは宿までは送ってもらえることからレンタカーを借りていない方にはバスやタクシー代わりの交通手段にもなって一石二鳥だと思います〜

Good value for money but the guides spoke no english so that was weird.

Total price includes lunch and entrance fees so you don't have to worry about anything. Was also nice enough to drop us off anywhere we wanted

Value for money. You can get the whole trip for so cheap

Had an awesome time even though we barely speak Japanese. Very good value!

I chose this tour because I can't drive, and it allows me to visit distant tourist spots from Naha all at once. The guide provided various explanations and even showcased songs and dances on the bus, which made me fully enjoy the Okinawa atmosphere. There was plenty of time at each tourist spot, and I had a great time. Thank you very much.

車の運転が出来ないので、那覇から遠い観光地を一気に回れるこのツアーを選びました。
バスの中でもガイドさんが様々な説明や、歌や踊りも披露してくださり沖縄気分を満喫できました。各観光地での時間もたっぷりあり、とても楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。

It was raining, so I started my hike from Shiratani Unsuikyo and got to see the moss-covered forest around dawn! It had a very mystical atmosphere and was amazing! Unfortunately, there was fog from Taiko Rock, but I descended to the tramway and headed to Jomon Sugi. The journey was long and tough, but if you're going to Yakushima, I think it's great that you can visit both in one day.

雨だったので白谷雲水峡から登り始めて、夜が明ける頃の苔むす森を見させてもらいました！とても神秘的な空気で最高でした！太鼓岩からはあいにくの霧でしたが、そこからトロッコ道へ下り、縄文杉へ。道のりは長く大変でしたが、せっかく屋久島に行くなら、どちらも1日で回れるのはかなりいいと思います。

I stayed in Miyanoura, and thanks to the direct bus service, I was able to relax! With the guide's thoughtful assistance, I was able to see Jomon Sugi safely. Thank you very much. The miso soup I had for lunch warmed both my body and heart. I really appreciate all your help!

宮之浦に宿泊しましたが、直行便のバスのおかげでゆっくり休めました！
またガイドさんの気配りのおかげで無事縄文杉を見ることが出来ました。
ありがとうございます。
お昼に頂いたお味噌汁で体も心も暖まりました。
大変お世話になりました！

I was torn between the Jomon Sugi course and the Shiratani Unsuikyo, but I made the right choice by opting for Shiratani Unsuikyo since I wasn't confident in my leg strength! The shades of green were incredibly beautiful, and I felt like I wanted to come back just to experience this scenery again. The tour guide was also a great person, and since they explained the highlights along the way, I was able to walk leisurely and have a fun time. I was also happy that it turned into a private tour, perhaps because it was the off-season (^ ^).

縄文杉コースと悩みましたが、脚力に自信がなかったので白谷雲水峡をチョイスして正解でした！緑の色合いも最高に美しく、この景色を味わうためにもう一度来たいと思いました。
ツアーのガイドさんも良い方で、見どころを解説しながらなので、のんびり歩け、楽しく時間が過ぎていきました。シーズンオフだからか、プライベートツアーになったのも嬉しかったです(^ ^)

It was my first time to see Mt. Fuji and it did not disappoint. The day was perfect weather to see Mt. Fuji. The tour was prompt and it was really comfortable going to and from the destination. We were always dropped off near to the places we were going so we did not need to walk very far although I have to say that you need to really spend more than just one day to appreciate Mt Fuji and the area. But if you just want to have a glimpse of it and see the area around it then this tour is perfect. Hiroshi was our guide and had a great sense of humor and he really knows what he is talking about and explained very well the areas we were going to. The food at the Ninja Village was good, I love their soup and the noodles as well. You can have street food on some of the places you will visit. We were also taken to the foot of Mt. Fuji where we had some pictures taken. the Mt. Fuji 4D experience was something different.

Overall, the tour was well executed. I was able to see the clearly the beauty of Mt. Fuji paired with perfect weather. I would recommend this tour for those who want to experience it in just 1 day.

We took a tour visiting three main spots, and it was just my husband and I along with another young couple who were also Japanese, while the rest were from various countries. Kyoto was incredibly crowded even on a weekday. Instead of lining up in a single file from where we got off the bus to the site, we went in a scattered manner, making it challenging for the tour guide to ensure everyone was together. Our time at Fushimi Inari was short, so it felt a bit rushed. There were many stalls, and I wanted to try some street food, but since we had chosen a lunch course, I held back. We joked that next time we should go for a course without lunch, but the tofu course we had for lunch was so delicious that I was glad we ordered it... such a tough decision!

On the way back, it was evening, so there was traffic. Since we had a specific time for the Shinkansen and weren’t staying overnight, I was a bit anxious. We were dropped off partway and took the train back, making it with plenty of time to spare. I think it’s better to plan our travel considering such things for peace of mind. Both the tour guide and the driver were very pleasant, which was great. It was a quick bus tour, but it was very enjoyable and delicious. Thank you very much! (*^o^*)

主要3箇所を巡るツアー、私達夫婦ともう一組若いご夫婦だけが日本人(笑)で後は数カ国の人達。やはり京都は平日でも物凄い人だらけ。バスを降りた場所から現地まで一列に並んで行くわけではなくバラバラで添乗員さんは全員揃っているかの確認が大変そう。伏見稲荷の滞在時間は短いのでなんだか慌ただしかった。露店がいっぱいあり食べ歩きもしたかったがお昼を食べるコースにしていたので我慢した。次回は昼なしのコースがいいねと言いながらいざお昼の豆腐のコースはとっても美味しくてやっぱ
り頼んでいて良かったね…なんて難しい判断(笑)
帰りは夕方なのでやはり車の渋滞。その日は泊まりでなく新幹線の時間が決まっていたのでドキドキ。途中で降ろしてもらい電車で帰って余裕で時間に間に合った。そういうことも考慮して自分達の旅行プランをたてた方が安心していられると思った。添乗員さん、運転手さんは二人とも感じがよくて良かった。あっと言う間のバスツアーだったけれどとても楽しく美味しくいいツアーでした。ありがとうございました(*^o^*)

The guide was very enjoyable, the pace was just right, and the advice was spot on, allowing us to proceed smoothly. I participated alone, but the guide was considerate, and the people I was with were nice, making for a very pleasant experience. It would have been even better if we had time for introductions at the beginning since I hardly knew anyone's name despite walking together.

ガイドさんがとても楽しい方で、ペースもちょうど良く、アドバイスも的確で、順調に行ってくることが出来ました。
一人で参加しましたが、ガイドさんがお気遣いくださったり、一緒になった人たちも良い人たちで、楽しく過ごせてとても良かったです。
せっかくご一緒したのにほとんどお名前も知らないまま共に歩いたので、最初の方で皆さんとの自己紹介の時間がいただけたらなお良かったです。

I booked the bus for a specific day, unfortunately that day was wet. The bus takes a great route around three different areas. we stayed on for the whole three journeys. the audio becomes a little repetitive when you travel the same roads. However the bus was great you sit up top so that you have the best view of the city. the down side is that if it is raining, you get wet. you are supplied with a wet weather poncho to wear which keeps out most of the weather but they blow around and inhibit the view. If I had of known this I would have not booked a specific day but an open ticket.

I applied for this tour to efficiently visit the distant aquarium and other attractions from Naha City! The bus guide showcased Okinawan songs and performed a picture-story show, taught us some dances, and helped us unload our luggage on the way back. The hospitality on the bus was excellent. The meeting times for each attraction were clearly indicated on plates, which was very helpful. I was able to visit various places in a short time efficiently, and the bus was comfortable, which was great.

那覇市内から遠方の水族館と他名所に効率よくまわりたいため申し込みしました！
バスガイドさんが、沖縄の歌や紙芝居を披露していただいたり、踊りをレクチャーしてくれたり、帰りに荷物をおろしていただいたり、車内のおもてなしがすばらしかったです。
各名所の集合時間もプレートでわかりやすかったです。
短時間で、効率よく色々な場所をまわれたのと、バスが快適でとてもよかったです。
