All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

The day before, I participated in a hard tour from early morning until evening, so I chose a leisurely departure time for Taketomi Island. A pickup from the hotel arrived at 10 AM. The bus driver shared various interesting stories about Ishigaki during the ride to the ferry terminal. After arriving at the ferry terminal, I was very satisfied with the attentive service, as they informed me about the return boat schedule that connected well with the hotel shuttle. On Taketomi, my fourth-grade son was even more delighted with the water buffalo cart than I had expected. Water buffaloes are really smart! After that, we rented bicycles to collect star sand and stroll through the town. The weather was very favorable and hot, but we had a great time.

前日、朝早くから夕方までのハードめのツアーに参加していたので、竹富島へは朝のんびり出発できる時間を選択。10時にホテルにお迎えが来てくれました。バスの運転手さんが離島ターミナルまでの間、石垣の興味津々な色々なお話しをして下さいました＾＾離島ターミナルに着いてからも、ホテル送迎のバスに乗り継ぎの良い帰りの船の時間を教えて下さったり細やかなサービスに大満足でした。竹富では水牛車は思っていた以上に小4の息子が喜びました。水牛って本当に賢いんですね！その後はレンタルサイクルで星砂を集めに行ったり街並みを散策したり。非常に天気に恵まれ暑かったですが楽しかったです。

I heard a wide range of stories about Okinawa, and we sang and danced, making the time on the bus enjoyable and never boring. The tour guide was always smiling and very wonderful. I regret forgetting to ask for their name.

沖縄に関して幅広い話しを聞かせて頂き、
唄も踊りもされて、退屈ないようにバス内の時間を過ごしました。ずっと笑顔でとても素敵な添乗員さんでした。お名前を聞き忘れて残念でした。

Thank you Veltra for this enjoyable and great tour! It was a gift for my friend for her birthday and it was definitely the highlight of our trip in Tokyo.

The bus was on time to pick up us up from the hotel. The tour started smoothly all the way to the end. Guide was funny and shared about some Japanese cultures. She also had some jokes that are really funny. It was a perfect day when we were on the 5th station. Sky was blue and you can see the top of the Mt Fuji clearly. It was beautiful.
Lunch at the hotel was pretty good. And yeah we love the pirate boat cruise. Unfortunately, the sky gondola was not available because of the strong winds. We went to the temple instead which was pretty good as well.

I liked that I could visit Mishima in one day and made a reservation, but it turned out to be a rushed sightseeing experience. I was able to relax in Iriomote and Yufu, but I wanted to explore Taketomi Island at a more leisurely pace. Next time, I would like to spend a whole day on Taketomi Island, cycling around the beautiful beaches and houses. The glass boat ride I took on Taketomi Island was not that great. However, the highlight was riding the water buffalo cart. I was soothed by the slow-moving water buffalo cart and the songs of the old man.

三島を1日で行けるところが気に入り予約しましたが、慌ただしい観光になりました。
西表・由布はゆっくりできましたが、竹富島をもっとゆっくり観光したかったです。
この次行くとしたら1日竹富島に行ききれいなビーチ、家並みを自転車で回りたいです。
竹富島で乗ったグラスボートは、いまいちでした。
良かったところは水牛車に乗ったことです。ゆっくりと動く水牛車とおじさんの歌に癒されました。

I was considering a bus tour to the Churaumi Aquarium, but I chose this tour that picks you up at the DFS Galleria near my hotel in Omoromachi. On the way to the aquarium, we had a packed itinerary that included exploring Manza Beach and crossing the scenic bridge to Kouri Island, allowing me to fully enjoy Okinawa.

美ら海水族館へはバスツアーを検討していましたが、おもろまちのホテル近くのＤＦＳＴギャラリアでピックアップしてくれるこちらのツアーにしました。お目当ての水族館への途中には万座毛を散策したり古宇利島への絶景橋を渡るなど盛りだくさんで、沖縄を満喫することができました。

I don't feel a sense of relaxation, but I think it was good to be able to compactly visit the highlights of Iriomote Island and Taketomi Island.

のんびり感はありませんが、西表島、竹富島のそれぞれのポイントを押さえてコンパクトに回れてよかったと思います。

Overall it was a great tour. Great value for money. Best of the tour is certainly the aquarium. In the tour there is a udon noodles lunch included together with a brief visit to a bufferfly garden, pineapple theme park and and a typical Okinawa glass workshop.
If you like to avoid the hassle of taking different busses this is certainly a good option

I think it's a course that is difficult to cover in just one day on your own. The mangroves of Iriomote, the water buffalo cart on Yubu Island, and cycling in Taketomi... all of these became unforgettable memories. However, I personally felt that the time spent on Yubu Island was too long, so I would have liked to take it slower in Taketomi instead.

個人ではなかなか1日で回ることのできないコースだと思います。西表マングローブ、由布島の水牛車、竹富でのサイクリング・・どれも忘れられない思い出になりました。
ただ、由布島での滞在時間は個人的には多すぎたため、その分竹富でもっとゆっくりしたかったです。

When taking the ferry from Ishigaki Port to Taketomi Island, I ended up sitting in a place without air conditioning, and I was on the verge of feeling unwell. However, once we arrived at Taketomi Island, we were able to enjoy a cool bus tour, which was great.

We found star sand on Hoshizuna Beach, and even the elderly family members were excited. We waited for over 30 minutes to ride the water buffalo, and we also had to wait about an hour for the return bus, so there was a lot of waiting time.

Since there wasn't a good bus schedule from Ishigaki Port to the hotel, we used a taxi. The main water buffalo tour on Taketomi Island was indeed enjoyable. I'm glad we went because my family was happy.

石垣港から船で竹富島に渡るとき冷房の効いてない場所に座ってしまった為、具合が悪くなる寸前でした。が、竹富島に着いてすぐ涼しいバスで観光でしたので良かったです。
星砂浜で星砂を見つけたり高齢の家族もはしゃいでいました。
水牛に乗るまでに30分以上待ち、
帰りのバスも1時間位待ったので待ち時間が多かったです。
石垣港からホテルへのバスも良い時間がなかったのでタクシーを利用しました。
竹富島のメインの水牛観光はやはり楽しかったです。家族が喜んでくれたので行って良かったです。

It was great that I could choose the time for both going and returning, making it easy to plan my schedule. I chose to ride a water buffalo and rented a bicycle individually!! I had always wanted to ride a water buffalo, so it was nice to spend a leisurely and relaxed time. If you're looking to explore the island within a limited time, a bicycle is very convenient!! Taketomi Island was truly a beautiful place with lovely townscapes and clear seas; I want to go again!!

行きも帰りも時間が選べる所が予定が組みやすくて良かったです。
私は水牛を選択し、個人でレンタサイクルを借りました！！
水牛はずっと乗ってみたかったのでのんびりゆったりとした時間が過ごせて良かったです。
時間が限られている中で、島中を回るのであれば、自転車が便利です！！
竹富島は本当に町並みも海の綺麗で素敵な所でした、また行きたいです！！

The guides are friendly and helpful. Very informative about the great sites of Tokyo. Many attraction and stops. It's just not easy to navigate between different lines once a tour is over

The day after participating, I took a local bus from Chatan to Ryukyu Village. Even from Chatan, I felt it was somewhat troublesome (I was worried about whether I could get a seat, I had a lot of luggage, and I mistakenly paid the fare because I wasn't sure how to do it), so I truly appreciated the comfort of having a reserved seat and the detailed guidance from the bus guide.

I felt that my time at the Churaumi Aquarium was a bit short, but I was able to relax in front of the whale shark tank and also see the dolphin show, so I think I hit the main points.

- Unfortunately, it was pouring rain! I didn't have an umbrella, but they lent me a plastic one. Thank you!
- Since I ultimately wanted to go to Chatan, I got off at Ryukyu Village. The driver even checked the bus schedule for me. Thank you!
- The bus guide was cute. At one point, she changed outfits and sang and danced for us. So cute...

参加翌日、宿泊していた北谷から琉球村までローカルバスで行きましたが、北谷からでさえ若干めんどうくさい（座れるか不安だったし、大荷物だし、料金の支払い方がよくわからず間違えました）と感じたので、席がちゃんと用意されていて、バスガイドさんの丁寧なガイド付きで移動できるありがたさを余計に実感しました。
ちゅらうみ水族館での滞在時間がやや短いなと感じましたが、ジンベエザメの水槽でぼんやりできて、イルカショーも見られたので、ポイントはおさえられたと思います。
・あいにくの土砂降り！で傘も持っていなかったのですが、ビニール傘を貸していただけました。ありがとうございます！
・最終的に北谷に行きたかったので、琉球村で離団させていただきました。運転手さんがバスの時間も調べてくれた。ありがとうございます！
・バスガイドのお姉さんが可愛かった。途中、お着替えして歌って踊ってくれました。かわいい…。

I was able to enjoy Taketomi Island without wasting time or money. I didn't have any particular troubles or confusion. I participated while pregnant, but the glass-bottom boat, water buffalo, and bus tour were all completely fine. If there are any pregnant women considering this, I highly recommend it, as the activities available on Ishigaki Island are limited.

無駄なくお得に竹富島を楽しめました。
迷う事や困った事は特にありませんでした。
妊娠中の参加でしたがグラスボード、水牛、バス観光。全く問題ありませんでした。
妊婦さんで検討されている方がいらしたら石垣島で楽しめるアクティビティは限られているので是非オススメです。

As someone who visited Okinawa for the first time, I found the guide's explanations to be very good, and I had a great time. At the aquarium, I was able to enjoy the dolphin show and the Kuroshio experience, which was a bit hectic, but I was satisfied. I didn't have high expectations for the soba, but it was delicious.

初めて沖縄に行った私にとってはガイドさんの説明もよく、とても楽しめました。水族館でもイルカショーと黒潮体験も出来てバタバタとしましたが、満足しました。おそばの方も期待していなかったのですが、美味しかったです。

I often come to Okinawa for work, but I recently had the chance to do some sightseeing. Although I visited the usual spots, considering the entrance fees and the cost of renting a car, it was very affordable and I had a great time exploring.

沖縄にはよく仕事で来るのですが久しぶりに観光しました。定番の所でしたが入場料やレンタカーを借りる思いをすれば非常にお手軽で楽しく回らせていただきました。

I had planned to do some things in the morning, but I could only do them in the afternoon. I had originally signed up for the 14:45 water buffalo cart course, but I was able to change it to the 8:40 course at the counter on the day, which was a great help.

The water buffalo cart had a charming atmosphere and was very soothing. After that, I toured the island with a rental bicycle for 300 yen per hour, and I was satisfied with just the morning.

However, it was disappointing that the boat I wanted to take was operated by a different company, so I had to wait for almost an hour.

午前中にしたかった事が午後からしかできなくなり、14:45の水牛車コースに申し込んでいたのに当日カウンターで8:40のコースに変えていただき、助かりました。

水牛車は風情があり、とても癒されました。
そのあと一時間300円のレンタサイクルで島内を観光し、午前中だけで満足できました。

ただ、乗りたかった船の便が別の会社のものだったそうで、一時間弱待たないといけなかったのが残念でした。

I was able to slowly enjoy the beautiful streets of Taketomi Island. Since all the transportation was arranged for me, it became a very fulfilling trip.

竹富島の美しい街並みをゆっくりと楽しむことができました。移動もすべて手配いただいたため、とても充実した旅になりました。

The children enjoyed it, and it was great since it's quite far to go by car. I hope to have the opportunity again.

子供達も楽しんでくれて、なかなか車でいこうにも遠いので、よかったです。
また機会があればよろしくお願いします。

Although I was worried about the weather during the rainy season, it was sunny the whole time! I chose the three-island tour thinking my elementary school-aged children would enjoy it, and they were thrilled without getting bored thanks to the smooth flow of the tour. If I had to say something, the mangroves had a similar scenery, which seemed to bore them a bit in the second half, but they were very happy with the water buffalo and collecting star sand. I felt that lunch was a bit simple. Since the children had the same menu, I think they would have been happier if there were options like a children's lunch. On Taketomi Island, we only saw Kondoi Beach from the bus, so I wanted to go into the sea, but I was satisfied with the combination since I also booked the Phantom Island for the next day and got to enjoy the sea then. Thank you very much!

梅雨時期で天気が不安でしたが、ずっと晴れました☆小学生の子供が喜ぶだろうと３島めぐりを選んだのですが、スムーズな流れに子供達は飽きる事なく喜びました☆しいて言えばマングローブが同じ景色ばかりで後半飽きていた様ですが、水牛も星の砂拾いも大喜びでした☆お昼ご飯は少し質素に感じました。子供も同じメニューだったので、お子様ランチなど作って頂けると喜ぶと思いました。竹富島ではコンドイビーチをバスから見ただけだったので、海に入りたいとも思ったのですが、今回は次の日に幻の島も予約して海も入れたので、組み合わせとしては正解だったなと満足しております☆有難うございました。

모든 입장료가 포함이고 특히 츄라우미수족관입장료가 무료라 다른 관광버스 투어보다 좋았습니다

또한 호텔픽업까지 무료!! 최고의 조건과 최고의 가격으로 완변한 하루일정을 보냈습니다!!

마지막으로 특별한 선물과 무료식사(소바) 그리고 디져트까지 여러가지로 얻어가는 기분이라 강력하게 추천합니다! 한가지 참고는 리잔씨파크호텔에 숙소를 예약하신분은 영어표기가 잘못되어 있습니다 Regency Park Hotel 라고 되어있어 잘못된표기지만 안심하시고 예약하세요 픽업하러 옵니다^^

I had been interested in the open-top red bus for a while and thought I would ride it someday. Wanting to have an interesting experience with my friends, I made a reservation this time.

You can choose to exchange your tickets either near Tokyo Skytree or Tokyo Station. We opted for Tokyo Station. The one-day ticket allows you to choose from three courses: Roppongi Course, Odaiba Course, and Asakusa Course. We initially chose the Odaiba Course because we thought the views would be beautiful.

Once we boarded, I was surprised by the height of the bus. It departs from Marunouchi, and the various buildings I usually see looked completely different from up high. It's amazing how much your perspective changes with height.

There was a lot of greenery and beautiful buildings, and I felt proud to be living in such a beautiful city. The bus headed towards the bay area, and surprisingly, it even went onto the expressway! I was a bit nervous about that.

It was a very sunny day, so the views of Odaiba were stunning. About 60% of the passengers were from overseas, and when Odaiba came into view, everyone cheered! We also passed by the Rainbow Bridge!

After that, we had lunch in Odaiba and returned to Marunouchi to join the Asakusa Course. Unlike the Odaiba Course, there weren't many scenic views, but we went under elevated tracks multiple times, which felt like an attraction.

At first, I thought I might get bored quickly, but it was so much fun that I didn't want to go back at all. Next time, I plan to dress warmly! I want to ride again!

前々から、オープントップの赤いバスが気になっており、いつか乗ろうと思ってました。友達と何か面白い体験をしたいと思い、今回予約しました。
チケット交換所は、スカイツリーか東京駅近くかで選べます。
私たちは東京駅からにしました。一日券は3コースから選べます。六本木コース、お台場コース、浅草コース。私達は景色がキレイそうという理由で、はじめはお台場コースに。乗車してバスの高さにびっくり。初めは丸の内から出発ですが、いつも見るいろんなビルが違うビルに見えてびっくり。高さでこんなにも見方な変わるのですね。
緑が多くて、キレイな建物がいっぱいで、私はこんなキレイな都市に住んでいたのかと誇らしくなりました。
湾岸の方に向かうバス。なんとこのバス首都高にもこのまま乗ります。ちょっとドキドキでした。
すごく晴れていた日だったので、お台場の景色がキレイに見えます。乗客は6割くらいは海外からの方でしたが、お台場がきれいに見えた瞬間わ皆さん歓声があがりました！レインボーブリッジも通りますよん！
その後私たちはお台場でランチしてまた丸の内まで戻り、浅草コースに参加しました！
お台場コースと違い、景色に花はないですが、高架下を何回も通るのでアトラクションみたいな気分を味わえました。
初めはすぐ飽きちゃうかなと思ったのですが、すごく楽しく、寒全然帰りたくありませんでした。
今度は厚着して挑もうと思います！また乗りたいです！

Since I had roughly communicated the schedule in advance, everything went very smoothly. I had heard that it might be crowded due to the season of school trips, but on the day itself, we were able to move according to plan more than I expected. As a result, the later part of the schedule was very well-timed, allowing us to spend our time meaningfully. Additionally, the detailed guidance on the history and culture of each landmark, which is not found in textbooks, was provided in English, and the guests were extremely satisfied. The explanations in English were well-structured and expressive, which made the guests feel that they were in the hands of a professional. Thank you very much for your help.

事前にざっくりとスケジュールをお伝えしていたので、とても予定はスムーズでした。修学旅行生の多い時期のため混み具合が読めないと伺いましたが、当日は思ったより計画通りに移動が出来たため、後半のスケジュールは的確な時間を読めた提案いただいたきとても有意義に時間いっぱい過ごせました。また、英語での各名所の歴史や文化を教科書には載っていない詳細を丁寧にゲストにガイドしていただき、ゲストの満足度は大変高かったです。英語での説明は、うまくまとめたストーリーと表現力にゲストは納得していたのでプロフェッショナルを感じました。本当にお世話になりました。ありがとうございました。

Great tour! Would definitely recommend this package as it had everything we wanted to do and see. Bus picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel so it was very convenient. We got lots of fun photos with the giant butterflies at the Butterfly Garden. The Churaumi Aquarium was awesome. Our guide was friendly and helpful and managed to communicate to us via English signs when to get back to the bus and what time we could go see the dolphin show. It really helped that we happened to have a bilingual traveler on our bus and he stepped in to help translate from Japanese to English. Lots of interesting pineapple products to try at Nago Pineapple Park. They gave us a mini cup to sample about 4-5 pineapple wines and you can try their pineapple cakes. On our way home, the tour guide gave everyone a little pineapple ice cream sherbet, very refreshing! Perfect end to an enjoyable day.

We were picked up at our hotel by our guide, Hashi and driven to where we boarded our bus for the day. Our first view of Mt Fuji was from the bus, and it was magical, with rivers of snow cascading from the the peak. We were driven to the 5th station, however, by the time we arrived, the peak was obstructed by cloud. From here we proceeded to a lovely hotel where we had a rather strange lunch, cold french fries, hot chicken and lovely crumbed prawn with a very watery miso soup. Following this we were taken to a gondola ride to a thermal region behind Lake Ashi, where the bus met us and took us to Lake Ashi for a cruise in a beautifully designed and decorated replica of a French Galleon. Hashi then explained how we would catch the Bullet Train back to Tokyo, and we were driven to the railway station. Several trains sped through the station whilst we were waiting, which was an experience. Our train ride to Tokyo was very comfortable and an experience not to be missed. We thoroughly enjoyed our day, and would recommend it to anyone traveling to Tokyo.

As a beginner in island tourism, I was glad to be able to visit many islands in a short amount of time. Although I struggled to pass the time due to the long stay on Yufu Island, the conversations and performances from the bus and water buffalo cart guides were enjoyable, and I had a great day.

離島観光の初心者だったので、短時間で沢山の島を観光出来て良かったです。
由布島での滞在時間が長すぎて時間を潰すのに苦労しましたが、バスや水牛車のガイドさんのお喋りや演奏も楽しく、良い１日を過ごせました。

It was the course as described. I had made a reservation for another day, but I decided to go two days prior and went to the counter at the remote island terminal. They smoothly changed my reservation. I had only planned to use the water buffalo cart, but I was able to rent a bicycle for just a few hundred yen more, which expanded my range of activities, and I had a great time.

記載通りのコースでした。別日に予約していたのですが、2日前に行こうと思い、離島ターミナルのカウンターへ行きました。予約の変更もスムーズにして頂けました。水牛車のみを予定としておりましたが、レンタサイクルも＋数百円程度で利用出来たため、活動範囲も広がり、とても楽しむことができました。

The weather was unfortunate, but I was able to borrow an umbrella when getting off. Above all, the lunch was delicious! My husband was very satisfied with both the portion size and the taste! I shared with the kids, and I still felt full. It seems that the mozuku seaweed and Okinawa soba became my husband's favorites (laughs). Thanks to our guide's experienced guidance, the half day flew by—I’m really glad I participated! ♪

あいにくの天気でしたが下車の際には傘もかしていただけました
何よりランチがおいしい！主人もボリュームと味に大満足していました！私は子供とシェアしたのですがそれでもお腹いっぱいになりました。もずくと沖縄そばが主人のイチオシになったようです(笑)
ガイドさんのベテラン案内で半日があっという間でしたー、本当に参加して大満足です♪

When we departed from Ishigaki Island, we arrived at the ferry terminal too early, but thanks to being able to board an earlier boat (departing at 8:40), we were able to enjoy sightseeing at a leisurely pace. A bus was waiting at the port, and we arrived at the water buffalo cart boarding area in about five minutes. I was impressed by the intelligence of the water buffalo. I was amazed by how the boatman controlled their speed and maneuvered considering the turning radius. After that, we rented bicycles and first climbed the Nago-mi Tower, which seemed like it would get crowded, and then headed to Nishi Sanchō. After enjoying the picturesque beautiful sea, we had an early lunch to avoid the crowds. Since it gets hot during the day, I think it's best to act early. We returned to Ishigaki Island around 13:30, and we were able to fully enjoy our time.

石垣島から出発時、離島ターミナルに早く着きすぎましたが、一本早い船に乗船できたおかげ(8:40発)でゆっくり観光が出来ました。すぐ港にバスが待機しており、5分ほどで水牛車乗り場に到着しました。感動したのは水牛の賢さ。船頭さんの声かけでスピード、内輪差を考えてのコントロール等にびっくり。そのあとレンタル自転車を借りて、まずは混雑しそうななごみの塔に登り、街並みを眺めながら西桟橋へ。絵に描いたような美しい海を眺めた後、混雑を考慮して早めのランチ。日中は暑くなるので、とにかく早めの行動がいいと思います。13:30位に石垣島へ戻りましたが、充分堪能できました。

The three-island tour felt a bit rushed at first, but I was able to take my time and it was really enjoyable. I highly recommend this course.

３島めぐりは少し慌ただしいかなと思ったけれど、ゆっくり見ることができたとっても楽しかったです。オススメのコースです。

I recommend this for those who want to make efficient use of their time and for those who are visiting the islands for the first time, as it includes lunch. The mangrove cruise in Iriomote Island, the sightseeing on Yufu Island via water buffalo cart, and I chose the water buffalo cart on Taketomi Island, all of which were incredibly fun. I was particularly moved by the mangrove cruise.

効率良くまわれて、お昼のお弁当も付いてるので、時間を有効活用したい人や離島巡りが初めての人にはお勧めです。西表島のマングローブクルーズ、水牛車で渡る由布島観光、竹富島では水牛車を選択しましたが、どれもすごく楽しかったです。特にマングローブクルーズは感動しました。
