All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

While the children were on their school trip, the parents also started planning their own trip, and it was decided that they would go to Okinawa with this tour. The attractions were concentrated, and the inclusion of light snacks made it a very convenient tour for housewives.

子供達が修学旅行に行っている間に、親たちも修学旅行へと話が進み、沖縄行き決定でこちらのツアーへ。
観光地が凝縮されていて、更に軽食付きで主婦にありがたいツアーでした。

Okinawa's Oishi Forest was amazing. It's far, but definitely worth the trip. The lunch at the hotel buffet had a variety of delicious options! The aquarium was crowded with tourists, so I don't think you can take your time there.

大石林山すごく良かった。遠いけれども行く価値ありですよ。ランチもホテルのバイキングで色んな種類のものが食べれて美味しかったですよ！　水族館は観光客でごった返していました。あまりゆっくりは出来ないと思います。

I suddenly decided to take a solo trip to Yakushima. I wanted to see Jomon Sugi, but I was worried about what might happen along the way if I was alone, so I requested a guide. Since the guests were just a couple staying in Miyano-ura and me staying in Awa, I think we were able to communicate in a cozy atmosphere. Also, our guide, Nakaji-san, was a veteran and very reliable, so I was glad I could participate without feeling isolated. It seems that the pickup times differ by 30 minutes between Miyano-ura and Awa, so as various sites suggest, if you find early mornings tough, I recommend staying in Awa.

I usually run, so I wasn't worried about walking for a long time, but the tramway path was indeed difficult to walk on, and I ended up looking at my feet to avoid spraining my ankle (which is understandable). Additionally, it seems there was an emergency transport this time, and the tram was dispatched. I was moved to see that a tram actually runs on that tramway, which is something so obvious yet still impressive (I apologize for the blurry photo).

Next time, I definitely want to enjoy the night and morning at Jomon Sugi with an overnight stay.

急遽思い立っての屋久島一人旅。縄文杉は見たいけれど、ひとりでは途中で何かあった時が心配だな、と思いガイドをお願いしました。
ゲストは宮之浦宿泊のご夫婦と安房宿泊の私だけだったのでこじんまりとコミュニケーションが取れたと思います。また、ガイドの中路さんはベテランでとても頼もしく、一人でも疎外感を感じずに参加できたのでよかったです。宮之浦と安房ではピックアップ時刻が30分違うようで、いろんなサイトでも案内されている通り、朝早いのがつらい方は安房宿泊をお薦めします。
普段から走っているので長時間の歩きは心配していませんでしたが、やはりトロッコ道が歩きづらく捻挫を恐れて足元ばかりをみて歩くことになってしまいました（これは仕方ないですね）。また、今回、救急搬送があったようでトロッコが出動していました。あのトロッコ道を本当にトロッコが走るのだ、と当然のことなのに感動しました（写真がボケていて申し訳ありません）。
次回は是非1泊で縄文杉の夜と朝を楽しみたいと思います。

At the designated time, I received an explanation at the booth of the operator at the remote island terminal and picked up my tickets (for the round trip boat and water buffalo cart). I boarded the boat to Taketomi Island. Perhaps the delay was charming. After arriving, I took the designated bus to the water buffalo cart operator. After receiving my return bus ticket at the reception, I headed to the water buffalo cart. It was fun to leisurely explore the town while listening to the guide. From there, I rented a bicycle from the same operator as an option and went to see the ocean. The weather was clear, so I encountered the best scenery. I also picked up star sand for an hour and a half. After returning the bicycle, I had lunch, took the bus, and then the boat back to Ishigaki. The guidance was easy to understand, so I was able to enjoy myself freely.

指定された時間に離島ターミナルの業者さんのブースで説明を受けチケット（行き帰りの船と水牛車の３つ）を受け取って、竹富島行きの業者さんの船に乗りました。時間がすぎたのは愛嬌でしょうか。着いてから指定のバスに乗り、水牛車の業者さんのところへ。受付で帰りのバスのチケットをもらってから、水牛車へ。ガイドを聞きながらのんびり街中をまわれて楽しかったです＾＾　そこからはオプションで同じ業者さんのレンタサイクルを借りて、海を見に行きました。晴れていたので最高の景色に出会えました＾＾　　星砂も拾って、1時間半。自転車を返してランチを食べ、バスに乗って、船に乗って石垣に戻りました。案内がわかりやすいので自由に楽しめてよかったです＾＾

It was a a long but awesome activity! We really enjoyed the sights in Mt Fuji! Great experience!

I planned to walk 22 km in 10 hours, but it ended up taking me 11 hours. However, I was able to achieve my goal. The organizers adjusted to the pace of the participants and made sure we had time to take photos, which allowed us to enjoy the experience. I was relieved to make it in time for the last bus.

22kmを10時間で歩く予定を11時間かかってしまいましたが目的を達成することができました。
参加者のペースに合わせてくれ、写真を撮る時間を確保してくれたので楽しむことができました。
終バスに間に合って、ホッとしました。

Guide was extremely friendly and knowledgable. We found anew friend in Japan!

I was worried about the weather and my physical condition, but I managed to do a proper warm-up and took on the challenge. While I was able to maintain my stamina, I did twist my ankle a bit, possibly due to my usual lack of exercise.

There were seven participants this time. One person injured their foot and had to wait at a rest point (they missed seeing Jomon Sugi, but they were able to visit Shiratani Unsuikyo), and another person participated until the end despite being in pain. Despite these challenges, we adhered to the final deadline and completed the course in about 12 hours and 30 minutes (which was an hour later than usual). This course is known to be hard, to the point that some guides refuse to take it, and one guide reportedly suffered a stress fracture due to doing this route repeatedly.

However, despite the busy schedule, the satisfaction of being able to see the highlights of Yakushima's trekking in one day was immense.

This time, there were discrepancies between the tourists and the guides regarding preparations, which caused some confusion about what to bring. We prioritized decisions based on the situation on-site, which turned out well (though there were some gaps in explanations). There were similar issues with other items needed (it seems that what's necessary can vary by season), and I felt a strong desire for more standardized guidelines.

天気と自分の体力が心配でしたが、なんとかｗしっかりと準備運動して挑みましたが、体力は何とか持っても、日ごろの運動不足がたたってか、足を少しひねることがありました。

今回は７名が参加していました。一人は足を痛め途中休憩ポイントで待機（縄文杉はみれませんでしたが、白谷雲水峡OK）、一人は体を痛めながらも最後まで参加。そんなこともありましたが、最終のデッドラインを守って、約１２時間３０分の行程（通常より１時間遅い）で終了。
このコースは、ハードだから元から受けないガイドさんやこれが恐らくこれが原因で疲労骨折したガイドさん（連日この内容だった為）がいるほどのものらしいです。

ただ、忙しい内容ではありますが、屋久島のトレッキングの見どころ？が一日で見て周れる満足感は一入でした。

今回、観光の方とガイドの方の言い分に相違があり、持ち物の準備で困ることもありましたが、現場優先で決断。よかったです（説明に過不足あり）。他の準備物にもそのようなことがあり（時期によって、必要・不必要があるそうですが）、しっかりと統一されたものがほしいと感じました。

The weather was great, and it was a very enjoyable tour. I think it was a great value tour with various experiences like the mangrove cruise, water buffalo cart ride, and cycling.

天気にも恵まれ、とても楽しいツアーでした。
マングローブクルーズ、水牛車、サイクリングと色々な体験が出来、とてもお得なツアーだと思います。

It's mostly cloudy in Tokyo during the month of June. It was sunny and hot when we went on the bus ride. The whole experience was great except the sun shining excessively on us. Don't forget to apply sunscreen and bring something to keep you covered from the sun.

It was smoother than I expected, and I was able to take my time at each point, which was very nice. The mangrove cruise left a particularly strong impression on me. I thought it would be good to experience it at least once, as there are detailed explanations provided.

思ったよりスムーズにしかも各ポイントではゆっくりと過ごせてとても良かったです。マングローブクルーズが特に印象に残ってます。丁寧な説明があるので一度は体験すると良いと思いました。

Although my stay at Churaumi was short and I couldn't explore thoroughly, I was able to visit various points, making it a cost-effective option for first-time visitors to Naha without a car. However, it was disappointing that there were delays due to participants from China and South Korea arriving late, which cut into our sightseeing time. I think it would be better to implement measures such as thorough English announcements or providing notices in various languages. The tour guide was enthusiastic and even sang songs while guiding us.

美ら海での滞在が短くてじっくりは見れないが、色んなポイントに行けるので初めての那覇観光で車のない人にはコスパも良いしおすすめ出来る。
しかし、中国や韓国の方もいて集合時間に遅れて次の見学時間が削られたりという事もあったのが残念。
英語でのアナウンスを徹底するか、各言語での注意書きを渡すなど何か対策した方が良いと思う。
添乗員さんは歌を歌ってくれたり一生懸命ガイドをしてくれました。

I received a prior notice from Dream Tourism Company that the boat might be canceled due to an approaching typhoon on the tour date, so I quickly changed the date. On the new tour date, the weather was perfect, and I was able to see the most amazing scenery. The female bus driver on Iriomote Island provided a thorough explanation, which was very pleasant. The water buffalo cart on Yufu Island and the blue sea of Taketomi Island were both fantastic, and next time I would like to stay on Taketomi Island.

ツアー日に台風接近で船が欠航になるかもしれないとドリーム観光会社から事前連絡ありすぐに日にち変更して頂きツアー日は最高の天気で最高の景色が見る事ができました。西表島の観光バスの女性運転手さんは丁寧に説明して頂き心地良かったです。由布島の水牛車も竹富島の海の青さも最高で、次回は竹富島に宿泊してみたいです。

We participated as a family. The guide made sure to cover all the key points, and my elderly parents were very happy. The Churaumi Aquarium was also fun. The guide was kind too!

家族で参加しました。ポイントを抑えてまわってくださって高齢の両親もよろこんでました。
美ら海水族館も楽しかったです。ガイドさんも親切でした～

I was anxious since it was my first time, but our guide, Kawahara, was very considerate and made the trekking enjoyable!

We spent about 11 hours on the mountain trails in the vast nature of Yakushima. I was able to chat with both the guide and the other participants, and the time flew by!

There were various spots to see before reaching Jomon Sugi, and the explanations were thorough, which made me very satisfied.

Of course, I was also moved the moment I encountered Jomon Sugi! I definitely want to come back again!

初めて尽くしで不安だったのですが、
ガイドの川原さんがいろいろと気を使ってくださり、楽しくトレッキングできました！

屋久島の広大な自然の中11時間ほどの山道、ガイドさんはもちろん、ツアー参加者ともいろいろ話せてあっという間に時間が過ぎました！

縄文杉に出会うまでもいろいろなスポットがあり、丁寧に説明してくださり非常に満足です。

もちろん縄文杉に出会った瞬間も感動しました！
また是非遊びに来たいと思います！

This is a challenging course that is originally meant to be completed over two days, but we did it in one. It requires not only physical strength but also the mental fortitude to not give up. There were times when I felt like I might break. However, the sense of accomplishment and emotion was multiplied many times over. Thanks to the guide's consideration and pacing, I also have fond memories of being unable to move for two days due to muscle soreness and fatigue.

本来は2日かけるコースを1日でまわるため厳しいコースです。体力だけでなく、諦めない気力も必要だと思います。私も何度か心が折れそうに。でもその分達成感と感動は何倍にもなります。ガイドさんの心配り・ペース配分のおかげもありました。2日は筋肉痛と疲労で動けなくなったのもいい思い出です。

I participated the day before climbing Jomon Sugi. I learned about the history of Yakushima and Yakusugi from the guide. Having knowledge made the experience of trying to reach Jomon Sugi even more enjoyable.

縄文杉の登山前日に参加しました。屋久島の歴史、屋久杉についてなどガイドさんから教えてもらいました。ちしきをもって縄文杉へトライするとより楽しさが深くなりました。

My girlfriend and I were very happy about the tour of Mt. Fuji, which also took us to a beautiful lake, a ninja village and another nice little village where we could fill our bottles with natural Mt. Fuji water. We booked a tour, because it seemed a hassle getting to the mountain ourselves. Luckily for us we found this company. The guides spoke english and were very friendly. The bus ride was comfortable. We were lucky that the weather was clear and sunny. We don't regret a thing booking from this company.

I used this service for my first trip to Ishigaki. It was incredibly hot, but I was moved by the stunning views. The guide sang and played the sanshin for us. What a wonderful voice they have! I was enchanted. On the flight back, I was thinking about when I could visit Ishigaki again. I would love to use this service again next time! Thank you very much.

初めての石垣旅行で利用しました。すっごい暑かったけど、絶景を見れて感動しました。ガイドさんが三線で弾き語りして下さいました。いいお声の持ち主ですねえ。うっとりしました。帰りの飛行機の中で、次いつまた石垣行こうかなあーって考えてました。次回もまた御世話になりたいです！本当にありがとうございました。

This was 100% worth more than the cost, you see loads of different views and stores, great time to get all your souvenirs as i was struggling to find any good ones in the 5 days i have been here.
Theres loads of different stops at landmarks where you can get all sorts of different food, ice cream (blueberry!!) which is very nice. The ninja village and the 4d experience was the highlight of me and my friends trip, the food was a buffet of all sorts of food which as very nice and can eat till your belly pops and then we ent to the ninja garden to do ninja activities where you can participate in; trick room which is like an indoor puzzle, ninja training (forgot the name) where you either use bow and arrow, blowdart or shurikens to hit wooden targets, or a ninja obstacle course. btw it costs 400-500 yen to participate and i only know if you win a price for the training event.

we participated in throwing real shurikens and won plastic ninja shurikens (which is the lowest score) but you can win all sorts of different prizes depending on your score.
Also the 4d experience literally blew our minds because we didnt think highly of it but i dont ant to say too much because it will take from the experience but it was a very good day out, the best so far in the time that i have been here.

ps the guide and driver are very friendly

At first, I planned to explore Mishima on my own in one day, but it was impossible due to time constraints... That's when I found this tour and decided to join. This tour covers everything I wanted to do, so I was very satisfied! I was able to enjoy it even as a solo traveler.

最初は自分で三島を1日で回ろうと思って計画したけど時間的に無理でした…そんな時にこのツアーを見つけて参加。このツアーはやりたい事全部網羅してるので大満足❗️また1人旅でも十分に楽しめました。

We were blessed with good weather and were able to enjoy a leisurely water buffalo cart tour. The white sandy paths, tropical flowers, and the roof's shisa were all wonderful.

良い天気にも恵まれ、のんびり水牛車観光できました。白い砂の道も、トロピカルな花も、屋根のシーサーも全て素晴らしいものでした。

I participated in the morning session on the last day. The weather was great, and the guide's stories were very enjoyable, allowing us to efficiently see various sites. The guide also acted as a photographer, and we were able to take many pictures.

At Kabira Bay, we didn't ride the glass-bottom boat; instead, we took photos and strolled around the park. If you ride the glass-bottom boat, you can't take pictures leisurely. You can only snap a few from the observation deck. It seems that we were the only ones on this tour who didn't ride the glass-bottom boat, as most people do.

This tour conveniently drops you off at Ishigaki Airport, which was very helpful.

By the way, the bus has the ocean view on the left side, and the mountain view on the right side where the driver's seat is. Everyone in our group sat on the left side (laughs).

最終日の午前中発に参加しました。
お天気もよく、ガイドさんのお話もとても
楽しく、効率よく各所みることができました。
ガイドさんはカメラマンにもなってくれて、たくさん写真におさめることがでしました。

川平湾ではグラスボートには乗らず、公園内で写真を撮ったり散策してました。
グラスボートに乗ると、ゆっくりとは写真などは撮れません。展望台でささっと撮るくらいです。
今回のツアーでグラスボートに乗らなかったのは私たちだけだったので、だいたい乗られるみたいですね。

このツアーでは石垣空港で降ろしてくれるので、
とても便利でした。

ちなみにバスは左側の席が海側で、運転席の右側が山側になります。今回の参加者全員が左側に座ってました(笑)

I participated with my mother in her 60s.
Since it was after the rainy season, the weather was nice and the heat was intense.

The hotel provided transportation, which made it very convenient.

On Iriomote Island, we enjoyed a mangrove cruise on the Nakama River and admired the Sakishima Suo tree.
The tour included explanations, which allowed us to appreciate everything more deeply.

We rode a water buffalo cart to Yubu Island.
Due to the high tide, the water level was quite close, which was a bit nerve-wracking, but it was an interesting experience that you can't have every day.
We had lunch here, and since we had a little extra time, we strolled through the botanical garden.

On Taketomi Island, we opted for a water buffalo cart and bus tour.
Given the heat, the bus tour that took us to the sightseeing spots was efficient.
However, for those who want to explore Taketomi Island at a leisurely pace, I think cycling, despite the heat, would be better.
You would be able to appreciate the charm of Taketomi Island even more.

The water buffalo cart took us along a path lined with bougainvillea.
It was wonderful to slowly tour the traditional streets of Taketomi Island while the guide played the sanshin and sang.

60代の母と参加しました。
梅雨明けということもあり、お天気もよくじりじりとくる暑さでした。

ホテルに送迎してくれたのでとても楽ちんでした。

西表島では仲間川のマングローブクルーズと、サキシマスオウノキを観賞。
説明しながらのツアーなのでなるほどと思いながら見ることができました。

水牛車に乗り、由布島へ。
満潮時間によってなのか
水位がギリギリでハラハラしましたが、
これも普段体験できることではないので面白かったです。
ここでランチタイムですが、すこし時間に余裕があるので植物園を散策。

竹富島では水牛車とバス観光にしました。
暑いので観光スポットに連れていってくれるバスツアーは効率よかったです。
ただし、ゆっくり竹富島を散策したい方は、暑いけれどサイクリングの方がいいと思います。
竹富島の良さをさらに感じることができると思います。

水牛車はブーゲンビリアの小道の方でした。
ガイドさんが三線を弾きながら歌ってくれる中でゆっくり竹富島の伝統的な町並みを巡り、とても良かったです。

We signed up for the rental plan as a couple. Although we changed the meeting time, they accommodated us pleasantly. We were the oldest in our party of eight, but the guide adjusted the pace to match our stamina. Sorry to the group for being late.

I had hurt my knee and haven't been exercising regularly, so every time I stepped on the ties on the return trip, I felt intense pain. I apologize for underestimating the trekking.

I thought we could get a bit closer to Jomon Sugi, but I was a bit disappointed with the view from the corridor.

Since I was able to walk 22 km round trip, I gained confidence for future hikes.

レンタルプランを夫婦で申し込んだ。打ち合わせの時間を変更したが、気持ちよく対応していただいた。1パーティ8名で我々が最高齢だったが、我々の体力に合わせてガイドの方が速度を調整してくれた。グループの方々、遅れてごめんなさい。
ひざを痛めていたため、日ごろ運動をしていないため、帰りのトロッコ道の枕木を踏むたび、激痛が走った。トレッキングをなめていて、ごめんなさい。
縄文杉のそばにもう少し近づけるのかと思っていたが、回廊からの眺望で少し残念。
往復22ｋｍを歩けたので、今後のハイキングに自信がもてた。

Taiji was our tour guide on this trip just this March 2017. He brought us to a temple, the lake with Mt. Fuji view and Gotemba shopping area. All with considerations on our end. He was very friendly and accommodating, answered questions about the trip.
We had lunch with him and he shared stories with us. He also asked questions about us and he also took our pictures.

He even offered to wait for our shopping time and when we're about to get off, he asked if we have plans for the next day because he's willing to give a city tour. However we do have planned itinerary already so we just thanked him.

He also helped me find my purse which I lost on that day. Sadly, we weren't able to retrieve it.

I recommend him as a very friendlya nd helpful tour guide. He speaks english well and can converse naturally.

I participated in a tour that took us from Kanazawa Station through the White Road to Shirakawa-go, then Takayama, and Toyama. We departed at 8 AM and returned at 6 PM. Thanks to the diverse itinerary, the careful driving of our driver who also served as our guide, and the entertaining and thorough announcements, it was a fruitful and comfortable journey.

The rain that had been falling since morning turned into a downpour near the stunning viewpoint of "Fukube Falls," which has a height difference of nearly 90 meters, accompanied by strong winds, creating "perfect" conditions. It was quite impressive. I heard that the Hokuriku region entered the rainy season that day.

Although I couldn't see Mount Hakusan at all, I didn't feel too disappointed. The White Road was previously known as "Super Forest Road," and true to its name, I was overwhelmed not only by the seven unique waterfalls but also by the endless greenery of the mountains.

In Shirakawa-go, where we enjoyed a healthy and delicious meal, and later in Takayama, we had plenty of time to shop and stroll leisurely. In Toyama, we even got to experience the rare activity of making rice crackers.

I've heard that the autumn foliage season is the best. I can only imagine how beautiful it must be. I want to recommend this to my family and friends. Thank you for a wonderful day.

金沢駅からホワイトロードを通って白川郷、そして高山、富山と回るツアーに参加しました。朝8時に出発して帰りは午後6時。バラエティに富んだ内容と、添乗員も兼ねていたドライバーさんの慎重な運転、そして面白い、行き届いたアナウンスのおかげで、実り多い、快適な旅となりました。
朝から降っていた雨は、ホワイトロードの絶景ポイント、高低差90ｍ近い「ふくべの滝」の辺りでは土砂降りになり、強風も加わって「絶好の」コンディション。迫力ありましたよ。北陸地方はこの日、梅雨入りしたと聞きました。
白山は影も見ることができませんでしたが、それほど残念とも思いません。ホワイトロードは以前、「スーパー林道」という名だったらしいですね。正にその名の通り、それぞれ特色のある７滝もさることながら、どこまでも連なる山々の緑に圧倒されました。
健康的で美味しい食事をいただいた白川郷でも、その後立ち寄った高山でも、ゆっくり買い物や散策を楽しめ、富山では珍しいお煎餅焼きも体験できました。
　紅葉の季節が最高だと聞きました。どんなにきれいなことでしょう。家族や知人にも勧めたくなりました。うれしい一日をありがとうございました。

The raincoat was almost useless; it was a tough climb that felt like a training session with the constant rain. The journey was long and had some steep sections. However, thanks to the guide and the group, I was able to walk all the way to the end. I was glad to rent good quality gear from brands like mont-bell and Columbia. The charter bus was also very convenient. Meeting the Jomon Sugi will be a lifelong memory. Thank you very much!

レインコートも役に立たない程、本当によく降り修行のような登山でつらかったです。とにかく長くて所々険しい道のり。でもガイドさんとグループの方々のおかげで最後まで歩けました。レンタル品もmont-bellやColumbiaなど良い物で借りて良かったです。貸切バスも楽チンでした。縄文杉に会えたことは一生の思い出です。本当にありがとうございました！

I came to Ishigaki Island for my birthday trip for the first time. I signed up for a tour to quickly visit some famous spots, but maybe because it's an island, the bus's air conditioning was broken, and we had to switch buses in the intense heat. The replacement bus wasn't great either. The driver was nice, though. I got really sweaty and felt a bit nauseous, so I couldn't eat much for lunch... After the tour, I moved on to Iriomote Island and felt even worse. I ended up feeling very tired. I wonder if it's because of my age.

今回初めて石垣島に誕生日旅行で来てみました。とりあえずざっと名所めぐりをしたく、申込んだツアーですが、島だから？かバスのエアコンが壊れ、物凄い暑さのなかバス交換となり、その後も交換したバスもイマイチでした。運転手さんは感じ良かったけれど。汗だくになり少々気持ち悪くなった事もあり昼食もすすまず…。ツアーのあと西表島へ移動しましてさらに具合が悪くなり。
何だかとても疲れた。歳かしらね。

They took us to the trailhead by a dedicated bus, so we could walk leisurely without worrying about time! We were able to see Yakushima monkeys up close, and we learned about various plants as well. It was amazing! ^ ^

専用バスで登山口まで行ってくれたので、時間を気にせずのんびり休憩しつつ歩けました！
屋久猿も近くで見られて、植物も色々と教えてもらえて、最高でした^ ^
