All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

I participated in a cycling course on Taketomi Island. It was hot, but the kids really enjoyed collecting star sand at Star Sand Beach, playing on the beach as much as they wanted, and visiting the village. It was also nice to be able to choose the time for the return ferry.

竹富島でのサイクリングコースに参加しました
暑かったですが、星砂海岸で星砂集めたり、ビーチで好きなだけ遊んだり、集落にお邪魔したりで、子供たちはとても楽しんでいました
帰りのフェリーの時間が選べるのも良かったです

We enjoyed the whole tour and the food.

On the day of the tour, there was a tremendous thunderstorm, but the guide was very careful and took us to our destination, Taiko Rock. I was really happy because I only had one chance to do this. This tour offers rentals for shoes, raincoats, and backpacks, which are all items that would be a waste to buy since they are only used once, so I appreciated that. At the port where we arrived, they helped us with sizing for the shoes and saved us the trouble of going to the rental shop.

当日はすごい雷雨でしたが、慎重にガイド下さり、目的地の太鼓岩までも連れていってもらえました。
１日しかチャンスがなかったので本当に嬉しかったです。
このツアーは靴、合羽、リュックがレンタルできるのですが、どれも一度きりの利用で買うのは値段的に勿体無いものなので、それも有り難かったです。
到着した港で靴などサイズ合わせしてもらえ、レンタルショップに行く手間も省けました。

The place I really wanted to visit on my first trip to Okinawa was the Churaumi Aquarium. I was staying with friends who live in Okinawa, so while they were at work, I planned to enjoy the aquarium. However, I found out that it was farther from Naha than I expected and there were no transportation options available. I signed up for a bus tour that offered a longer stay at the Churaumi Aquarium, and about four hours flew by in no time. Since other facilities were located far away, if you spend too long enjoying the aquarium, you might not have enough time to explore everything else. I got so captivated by the large tanks that I ended up rushing to the dolphin show!

初めての沖縄でとにかく行きたかったところ！
それは美ら海水族館でした。
沖縄在住の友達の所へお世話になっていたので彼らが仕事中、水族館を満喫しようと思ってたのですが、思いのほか那覇から遠いことと、交通手段が無い？事でした。
バスツアーの中でも美ら海水族館の滞在時間が長いこちらのツアーに申し込み、約4時間、あっという間でしたね。
水族館以外の施設が離れたところにあったりして、水族館をあまり長く堪能してると回りきれなくなってしまいます。
私は巨大水槽に見入ってしまい大慌てでイルカショーへ向かうはめになってしまいました。

The trekking started with a mix of tension and excitement! From the long trolley path to the steep mountain trails, there were moments when it was tough and I felt like giving up, but the emotion I felt when I saw the Jomon Sugi at the final destination is unforgettable. I was deeply healed by the mystical natural scenery and air! Being able to visit the long-desired Yakushima has become a lifelong memory.

緊張とワクワクで始まったトレッキング‼️
長いトロッコ道から、アップダウンの激しい山道。キツくて、心が折れそうになる瞬間もあったけど、最終目的地の縄文杉を見た時の感動は忘れられません☺️
それから、神秘的な自然の景色や空気にとてもとても癒されました‼️
憧れの屋久島にこれて、一生の思い出になりました^^/

The tour began with a pickup in front of DFS near Omoromachi Station on the Yui Rail. This time, we visited the northern part of the island, which is not typically included in personal travel itineraries.

On the day of the tour, there were only five participants, making it a very small group. However, this allowed for a well-organized and smooth experience.

We were fortunate with the weather, and the views at Cape Hedo and Daichi Forest Park were beautiful. Although we walked and worked up a sweat, we were able to enjoy the sightseeing with a refreshing feeling (though it was quite hot!).

For lunch, we had a buffet at Okuma Private Beach & Resort, which offered a wide variety of fruits and desserts, including cakes. It was satisfying even when including the regular meal.

Next, we visited the Churaumi Aquarium (the last stop was Nago's Okashi Goten). Although I had been there once before, I didn't have time to explore the entire aquarium, so this time I focused on feeding the whale sharks and watching the dolphin show, which I missed last time.

The dolphin show was shorter than I expected, which was a bit disappointing, but the content was enjoyable, and I wished it had lasted longer.

Given its short duration, I felt a bit let down.

If I could wish for anything, it would be to have a little more time for strolling around the Churaumi Aquarium.

Nonetheless, I was very satisfied with the northern sightseeing experience.

ツアーの始まりは、ゆいレールのおもろまち駅近くのDFS前でのピックアップでした。
今回は、個人の旅行では中々行かない北部の観光です。

当日は、5名でのバスツアーとなり、非常に参加人数の少ないツアーでしたが、人数が少ないだけに時間行動がしっかりできてスムーズなツアーでした。

お天気にも恵まれ、辺戸岬、大石林山も景観が良く歩いて汗はかくものの爽やかな気持ちで観光出来ました（しかし、暑かったぁ〜苦笑）。

昼食は、オクマプライベートビーチ&リゾートでのビュッフェですがフルーツやケーキなどのスイーツの種類が多く、通常の食事を含めても満足出来るものでした。

次に美ら海水族館でした（最後は、名護のお菓子御殿）。
一度行った事があるものの水族館全体を見回る時間は無いので、今回はジンベイザメの餌やりと前回見られなかったイルカショーに絞り、見て来ました。

イルカショー、思っていたよりショーの時間が短く拍子抜けでしたが、ショーの内容は楽しく、もっとやって貰いたかった。

短かっただけに残念でした。

美ら海水族館は、欲を言えば、散策の時間をもう少しとって貰えると良いと思います。

それにしても北部観光、満足です。

This tour is packed with famous spots in Okinawa. I have been to Okinawa many times, but I chose this for my family's first trip to Okinawa. I think you can't go wrong with it.

The bus was almost full, but it seemed that more than half of the passengers were tourists from overseas. The guide was fluent in English.

沖縄の有名どころを詰め込んでくれたツアーです。
私は沖縄何度も行っているのですが、今回沖縄が初めての家族との旅行だったので選びました。
外れなしだと思います。

バスはほぼ満員でしたが、半分以上が海外からの観光客さんの様でした。
ガイドさんは英語もペラペラでしたー

Really great tour. We got picked up on time from a hotel near to where we were staying which was very handy and well organised. Our guide, Levin, had perfect English, was very helpful and informative and made the tour extremely enjoyable. There were plenty of break stops along the way and the bus was very comfortable. Due to unforeseen traffic our itinerary changed however this was handled really well and we still got to make each stop as planned. Unfortunately the weather wasn't great but Levin still made each stop fun and interesting. The lunch provided was excellent food and we got to experience the traditional Japanese culture. We didn't have much expectations for the 4D experience but it was actually brilliant and we really enjoyed it. Overall it was a really great trip and we would highly recommend it to anyone who's thinking of doing the Mount Fuji tour.

It was my first time visiting the three islands, and it was full of highlights with a smooth itinerary. The activities were enjoyable for the kids as well, making for a fun experience.

初めての3島めぐりでしたが見所満載で時間もスムーズな行程で、子供も楽しめる内容で楽しく過ごせました。

Booked this tour in the hope to see Mt. Fuji. Every destination point you visit will have advantage points to see Mt.Fuji. The only thing you need is good weather and clear visibility! This sadly isn't guaranteed but what you can expect is a great tour Leader, smooth bus journey to and from each destination and a fun day out. Our tour Leader Levin was really funny and charming. He told us information about Mt.Fuji, Japanese culture and the language. Definitely made the trip!

I was able to smoothly enjoy the ferry, water buffalo, and rental bicycles, and fully experience the sightseeing. Thank you very much!!

フェリー、水牛、レンタサイクルとすごくスムーズに利用出来て、観光を満喫することが出来まし^_^
ありがとうございました！！

Thanks to our veteran guide, we had a wonderful day. It was a tight schedule, so I was worried about whether we could walk the whole way, but we made it to Jomon Sugi safely. If it had just been us, we might have given up along the way. If the opportunity arises, I would definitely like to walk again.

ベテランのガイドさんのおかげで、楽しい一日を過ごしました。厳しいスケジュールだったので、全部歩けるか不安でしたが、無事、縄文杉まで行けました。私たちだけでは、途中で諦めていたかもしれません。
機会があれば、是非また、歩きたいです。

It was a trip with a friend, and since we didn't have a driver's license, I thought it might be difficult to go around to various places in a timely manner. However, I was right to book this tour. We were able to visit almost all the places we wanted to, and we made effective use of our time.

友達と2人旅でしたが、車の免許がない為、あちこち行くのは時間的に無理かもと思っていましたが、こちらのツアーを申し込んで正解でした。
行きたかった所がほぼ回れて時間が有効に使えました。

It was great to be able to visit various places by bus, and it was reasonably priced. I was surprised that there were mostly foreigners. It was difficult to have lunch at Churaumi, so I think something should be considered for that.

バスで色々回れて、その割に安くてよかったです。
外国人がほとんどだったので、おどろきました。
美ら海でお昼を食べるのは大変でした。何か考えた方が良いと思います。

I saw the Jomon Sugi, which I had been longing to see, on my first trekking experience. The guide was very kind and considerate. There were some quite challenging parts, but we were blessed with good weather, and the tour lasted for 11 hours as planned, from early morning until evening. I was a bit tired, but I am grateful for the memorable encounters with the many Yakusugi trees. Thank you!

初めてのトレッキングで念願であった縄文杉を見てきました。
ガイドはとても親切な方で、色々気遣っていただきました。
かなりきつい所もありましたが、天候にも恵まれ早朝から夕刻まで予定通り11時間のツアーでした。少々疲れましたが思い出に残る屋久杉の数々との遭遇、ありがとうございました。

We, a group of 7 adults, chose the tour having browsed the internet. The review was good and what we experienced was great! Taiji san is knowledgable, helpful and very accomodative. He picked up us at the hotel on time. We discussed and agreed the itinerary, modified one. We added Nenba and Halal Ramen Tokyo to end the day.
Taiji san is a skillful driver. Driving 10 seater Toyota Hiace he skillfully manouvered in very narrow Tokyo streets when we tried to locate Halal Ramen. Taiji san even attended our exhibition the next day. For us, Taiji san is beyond a tour guide, he is our new friend in Japan.
Arigatou gozaimasu Taiji san!

I decided to participate after reading the reviews.
It was my first bus tour. The bus was very clean, and each seat had a USB port, making it convenient and comfortable. The kind tour guide and driver made for a fun trip. I heard there were many Japanese participants this time, but the explanations in English were enjoyable, and I was able to use the empty seats. It was very hot in Kyoto, but I was comfortable. I thought the sightseeing time before departure might be short, but the time allocation was perfect! Along the way, the driver handed out chilled towels, which felt great. The bus, flags, and tour guide were all lemon-colored, making it easy to identify, so I didn't get lost at all! I would definitely like to use this bus tour again if I have the chance. I highly recommend it!

レビューを見て 参加を決めました。
初めてのバスツアーでした。とてもキレイなバスで それぞれの座席にUSBがついていて便利で快適、そして優しい添乗員さんと運転士の方と楽しい旅となりました。今回は日本人の参加者が多いとのことでしたが英語での説明も楽しく、空いている座席も使わせて頂き とても暑い京都でしたが 快適でした。出発までは観光の時間が短いかな？と思っていたのですが、これまたベストな時間配分！途中、運転手さんがキンキンに冷えたおしぼりを配ってくださり とても気持ち良かったです。バスも旗も添乗員さんもレモン色でわかりやすく、迷うこともありませんでした！また機会があれば 利用したいと思えたバスツアーでした。おすすめですよ！

It was a tour that covered three islands in one day, each filled with its own charm. On Iriomote Island, we explored the mangrove forest by boat. We leisurely crossed to Yubu Island on a water buffalo, and the guide's sanshin performance was also captivating. We strolled through the botanical garden. The lunch bento was delicious too. Finally, on Taketomi Island, we took a relaxing tour around the village on a water buffalo, and the pace of life was wonderfully slow. I highly recommend this tour!

1日で3島を巡り、それぞれの島の魅力満載のツアーでした。西表島ではマングローブの森を船で観光。由布島へは、水牛でゆったりと渡りガイドさんの三線も魅力的でした。植物園内を散策。昼食のお弁当も美味しかったですよ。最後の竹富島は、村の中を水牛でのんびり回り時の流れがゆったりとして最高でした‼️とってもオススメのツアーですよ。

Since this is my first time visiting Ishigaki Island, I applied for a tour around the islands. The staff were kind, and I had a great time. Thank you very much.

今回初めて石垣島に行くので離党巡りもしたいと思い申し込みました。スタッフの方も親切で気分よく楽しめました。ありがとうございました。

At every destination, the guide is waiting for you, so you can enjoy yourself without any prior research. If you think about going on your own, visiting three islands in one day would be impossible, so I recommend it for those who want to go to various places even if time is limited! I took my 1 year and 7-month-old child, and since there isn't much walking involved, they seemed to have a great time. I think it's a plan that works perfectly even with small children.

行く先々でガイドさんが待ってくれているので、何の下調べをしなくても楽しめる。自分たちだけて行こうと思うと1日に3島もめぐるのは無理だと思うので、時間はないけど色々行きたい！って人にはオススメ。1歳7ヶ月の子供を連れて行ったが、そんなに長時間歩くこともないので楽しそうにしていた。小さな子供がいても全く問題ないプランだと思う。

Iriomote Island's mangrove tour was cut short due to the low tide, which was disappointing. On Taketomi Island, I previously experienced a glass-bottom boat, but this time it was a bus tour and a stroll in an ox cart, so I finally feel like I understood some of the charm of Taketomi Island. Next time, I want to consider not just a day trip but also an overnight stay.

西表島は引き潮の関係でマングローブのツアーが途中までだったので残念でした。
竹富島は前回はグラスボートでしたが、今回はバス見学と牛車での散策だったので、やっと竹富島の良さの一部が判った気がします。次回は日帰りツアーだけで無く宿泊も考えたいです。

I think it's great for first-time island hopping as it allows you to efficiently visit each island. The water buffalo cart experience was delightful, as the buffalo's face was so charming and soothing. On Taketomi Island, we explored various places by renting bicycles. It's recommended because you can go wherever you want and at your own pace.

各離島に効率よくまわれて、初めての離島めぐりには良いと思いました。
水牛車体験は水牛の顔が愛らしくて、とても癒されました。
竹富島ではレンタルサイクルで各地をまわりました、自分の行きたいところに行けるし、自分たちのペース配分で行けるのでオススメです。

We were picked up at our hotel at the exact time as mentioned. 1st, we went to the Fujisan heritage center, and on the way our tour guide explained us everything! History, roads, emperors and my favorite THE LAST SAMURAI :) 2nd part of our day was the yummy yakiniku lunch and 3rd we went to Gotemba Premium Outlet! (shopped til we dropped haha). It was supposed to be the last part of our tour but our guide (Taiji) was kind enough to drive us around tokyo and the busy streets of Ginza! What a bonus!
Rating: 200%

P.S: car ride was about 1 hr and 30 min :)

It was really great that they efficiently took us to each sightseeing spot. Since I can't drive, I initially tried to go by bus, but there were so few buses that I decided to sign up for this tour.

In the end, it was a perfect choice! I don't think I could have visited so many places in one day on my own. Plus, I was able to rest during the transfers, so it was physically manageable. The guide was also very nice, showcasing traditional performing arts like folk songs and dances, and providing detailed explanations of the attractions.

Considering the price, it's definitely a great deal! Entrance fees are included as well.

効率よく各名所に連れて行ってくれるので凄く良かったです。車は運転出来ないため、バスで行く事も当初試みましたが あまりに本数が少なかったので今回のツアーに申し込みました。
でも結果、大正解！個人では一日でこんなに廻れないと思います。しかも移動中に休めるので体力的にも無理無く廻れました。またガイドさんがとても良い方で、伝統芸能である民謡やダンスを披露してくれたり名所を細かく説明してくれたり、、
とにかく値段を考えたら絶対的にお得です！入場料も込みですし。

After 30 years, I visited Okinawa. My husband went diving, and I was wondering what to do, so I searched and found the tour I participated in. Reading other people's experiences, I wondered if it would be okay to join alone, but on the day of the tour, everyone else was also participating solo, which made me feel relieved. We headed straight north to Cape Hedo, trekked at the power spot of Daisekirinzan, enjoyed a luxurious lunch with a view of the pristine white sandy beach, and visited the Churaumi Aquarium. The bus was comfortable, allowing for a pleasant sightseeing experience! Since everyone else was also participating alone, we enjoyed a lunch buffet together, chatting in a mix of English and Japanese, and the day flew by. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Okinawa!

30年ぶりに訪れた沖縄。旦那さんはダイビングへ、、さて私は何をしましょうかと色々と探して見つけた今回参加したツアーでした。他の方の体験談を読んで１人参加でも大丈夫？？と思いながら当日の参加した皆さん１人参加で何だかホッとしてしまいました。辺戸岬まで一気に北上〜トレッキングで大石林山パワースポット〜豪華で真っ白な砂浜を眺められるランチそして美ら海水族館。。
バスはゆったり座れて快適な観光が出来ました！
他の方ともお互い１人参加なので一緒にランチブュッフェを食べて英語とも日本語混ざりながらもおしゃべりしながらのあっという間の1日でした。
沖縄を満喫出来ました！

I apologize for the late post.

As a woman in my 30s participating alone, I can say that this was an absolutely wonderful tour. It was a trekking experience with our guide and six participants, including a couple and sisters, and we were blessed with great weather, making it a memorable experience!

About ten years ago, I had a traumatic experience on Mount Fuji and vowed never to go near a mountain again. I truly hadn't approached one since, but when the opportunity to visit Yakushima came up, I decided to face my trauma and participate, albeit with some apprehension. This experience made me realize the importance of having a good guide.

The pacing, explanations about the plants, and various considerations were truly outstanding. While it would be a lie to say I didn't get tired at all, the breaks and encouragement (like jokes) at just the right moments were greatly appreciated. Of course, the greatness of Jomon Sugi was impressive, but I also enjoyed the natural scenery along the way and was able to capture great photos at various spots while having fun!

Reflecting on my unforgettable experience from ten years ago on Mount Fuji, I remember it being tough, with a large group (around 20 people?) and feeling left behind, which still lingers in my mind. Because of that, I had distanced myself from mountains, and I now feel that I have truly missed out. This experience reinforced the importance of choosing the right tour company.

This time, I felt that I would like to go again, which was very positive. I look forward to the next opportunity!

投稿が遅くなってしまいました。

30代1人女性での参加でしたが結論から言うと、とても素晴らしいツアーでした。
ガイドさん、参加者の姉妹とご夫婦の6名でのトレッキングでしたがガイドさんにも参加者にもお天気にも恵まれ、最高の思い出となりました！

約10年前に富士山のトラウマから、二度と山には近づかないと誓い
本当に近づいていませんでしたが今回屋久島へ行くことになりせっかくなので・・とトラウマと戦いながら＆身構えながらの参加でしたが、ガイドさんの大切さをあらためて感じました。

ペース配分や植物の説明にもろもろの気遣いなど本当に素晴らしいものでした。
全然疲れなかったといえば嘘になりますが、疲れたなと思ったタイミングでの休憩・励まし（ジョークなど）、先読みして気遣っていただいている感じがとてもありがたかったです。
縄文杉の偉大さはもちろんですが、
行く途中の自然も楽しみながら写真スポットはしっかり抑えて楽しく進むことができました！

富士山の忘れもしない10年前を振り返ると、しんどい・大人数（20人くらい？）・置いてけぼり、のようなトラウマがあり今も強く残っているのですが、そのせいで山を離れていたこともあったので本当に今まで損をしていたなという気持ちとツアーの会社選びは大事だと今回感じました。

今回、「もう一回行きたい」と思えたこと、とても良かったです。
また是非宜しくお願いします。

I was well taken care of by our tour guide, Mr. Tamiya, and I had a wonderfully enjoyable day without feeling lonely at all. The driver, Mr. Yamashita, kept the car comfortable by closing the curtains while we were away and added to the travel atmosphere with his thick Kansai dialect, which was a nice touch. However, the actual meeting time at Hearton Hotel is 8:20. I regret that this information was not available, which caused some inconvenience for the tour. Additionally, the time spent at Fushimi Inari Shrine is actually from 10:00 to 10:45, which is quite busy. I think it would be better to correct the online information to reflect the actual details. Summer in Kyoto can be unbearably hot. Water, a hat (or parasol), and sunglasses are essential.

添乗員の田宮さんに良くして頂いて、まったく寂しい思いをすることなく、あっという間の楽しい一日でした。運転手の山下さんは、いない間にカーテンを閉めておいて下さって車内を快適に保ってくださったり、ベタベタの関西弁で旅気分を盛り上げてくださったりさり気ない気遣いが嬉しかったです。ただハートンホテルの実際の集合時間は８：２０です。その情報がなくてツアーにご迷惑をおかけしてしまいました。また伏見稲荷神社で過ごす時間も実際は10時～10時45分の45分間で結構忙しいです。ネットの情報を実際の情報に修正しておいてもらった方が良いかと思います。夏の京都は苦しいくらい暑いです。水、帽子（または日傘）、サングラスは必携です。

The maintenance of the rental bicycle was lacking, and the tires were too deflated, making it very difficult to ride on the sandy road.

レンタルサイクルの自転車のメンテナンスが今一つで、タイヤの空気が抜け過ぎていたため、道路が砂地なので、とても乗りにくかった。

This was my second time, and the staff at Tomori Cycle were very helpful. I would like to use Tomori Cycle again next time.

2度目でしたが、友利サイクルスタッフ全員の対応がとても良かった。
次回も友利サイクル指定で利用したいと思います。

I think this is a convenient and good tour that allows you to easily visit the famous sites in Kyoto. The bus was entirely yellow, making it easy to spot. However, I expected more detailed explanations in English about Kyoto's history and places like Kiyomizu Temple, Kinkaku-ji, and Fushimi Inari Taisha. Unfortunately, the information was quite limited, which was disappointing since I was looking forward to practicing my English listening skills. I chose a plan without lunch, but I would prefer the lunch venue to be a restaurant that offers a "obanzai buffet."

コースとしては、京都の名所を楽に回れて、便利な良いツアーだと思います。
バスのお色も全体が黄色でわかり易く探しやすかったです。
ただ、もっと京都の歴史や、清水寺・金閣寺・伏見稲荷大社の詳しい説明が英語であるとばかり思っていたのですが、あまりにも少なく、英会話の聞き取りの勉強になると楽しみにしていただけにその点に関してはイマイチでした。
私は、昼食無しのプランでしたが、昼食会場は、出来ましたら「おばんざいのバイキング」のお店にして欲しいです。
