All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

We gathered at the sightseeing bus stop near Sapporo Station. The location was easy to find, and the tour was held even with a small number of participants. As a result, the large bus was almost exclusively for us. With the guide's assistance, we had a great trip. We had plenty of time at the zoo and were able to see the animals we wanted to see. It had been a while since my last visit to the zoo, but I really enjoyed it. On the way back, I bought souvenirs at the service area.

札幌駅近くの観光バス乗り場に集合です。
場所もわかりやすく、停少人数でも開催されます。そのため大型バスがほぼ貸切でした。
ガイドさんの案内もあり、いい旅行ができました。
動物園の時間も十分あり、見たい動物も見れました。
ひさびさの動物園でしたが、楽しめました。
帰りは、SAでのお土産を買って帰りました。

I participated alone. The tour guide was friendly and approachable, which made it enjoyable and educational.

You can have fun even if you're alone!

一人で参加しました。
添乗員の方が気兼ねなく話しかけて頂いて楽しかったですし、学びになりました。

一人でも楽しめますよ！

I recommend it because there are many islands around Ishigaki Island, and you can efficiently explore them even with limited time. The itinerary and efficiency are things you can't achieve when planning on your own, and it's also cost-effective! The guides at each sightseeing spot were enjoyable and great as well.

石垣島の離島がたくさんあって時間が限られる中で効率よく周れるので、おすすめです。
自分たちでスケジュール組むと出来ない行程と効率性、またお得さでした！
それぞれの観光スポットでのガイドも楽しくて良かったです。

It was great to feel and see the beauty of Okinawa, and the way the tour guide spoke was easy to understand, which was also good. I have used VELTRA multiple times, and the staff members are the best.

沖縄の良さを感じ見る事良かったし添乗員さんの話し方が聞き取りやすく
良かったです
VELTRAは何度も利用していて
STAFFの方々最高です

The veteran bus guide was very good. Not only did they provide various explanations about Okinawa, but they also sang some famous Okinawan songs, making the journey a lot of fun. The bus interior was clean and comfortable.

Originally, I planned to drive around with a rental car, but due to the forecast of rain, I canceled the rental and booked this instead. It was the right choice to go with this option, as we were able to efficiently tour even in the rain.

It was a pity that we couldn't see the fields at Pineapple Park because it was out of season. I also regretted not being able to ride the cart due to the limited time for the visit, and I missed out on having meals like pineapple pizza. (However, it was nice that we could choose souvenirs after tasting.)

ベテランのバスガイドさん、とても良かったです。観光スポットだけでなく、沖縄にまつわる様々な説明や、沖縄の有名な歌も、いくつか歌っていただき、道中とても楽しかったです。
バス車内も綺麗で快適でした。
もともとは、レンタカーで周る予定が、雨の予報だったため、レンタカーをキャンセルして、こちらを申込みました。雨でも効率よく周れて正解でした。
パイナップルパークは、季節外れのため、畑が見れなかったのが残念でした。
見学時間に余裕がなく、カートに乗れなかったのと、パイナップルピザ等の食事が出来なかったのも心残りでした。(試食をしてからお土産を選べるのはよかった)

I was able to visit tourist spots that are difficult to go to on my own, and the guide's service was polite, the language was courteous, and the atmosphere was warm. I had a great time. Thank you!

個人では行きづらい観光名所へ行けて、ガイドさんの対応も、言葉も丁寧で雰囲気も優しくて。楽しく過ごせました。ありがとうございました！

Current employees guide you through the facilities and training. This time, it was the ground staff who showed us around. The explanations were very clear, and it was a fun and meaningful experience. I learned about the challenges faced by the ground handling staff and maintenance crew, which I wouldn't have understood just by flying on a plane. Next time I visit the airport or watch live footage from the airport, I want to pay attention to the work of the ground handling staff. My enjoyment of the time spent at the airport has increased. Thank you very much.

現役の社員の方が施設や訓練の様子を案内してくださいます。今回はグランドスタッフさんが案内してくれました。説明がとてもわかりやすく楽しい有意義な体験ができました。飛行機に乗っただけでは分からなかったグランドハンドリングさんや整備の方々のお仕事の大変さがわかりました。今度空港に行った時や空港のライブ映像を見たときにはグランドハンドリングさんのお仕事の様子を注目したいなと思います。空港で過ごす時間の楽しみが増えました。ありがとうございました。

I rode the ropeway and saw the collapsed areas and Showa Shinzan. It was enjoyable to have Tom, the guide who speaks three languages, provide the commentary on the bus.

ロープウェイに乗り、崩れ落ちた箇所や昭和新山など見ました。バスの中で三カ国語を話すガイドのトムさんの案内が楽しかったです。

A Solo Trip to Ishigaki Island

This was my first time on a bus tour, and it turned out to be a wonderful experience. I was excited about visiting a tropical island without thinking too much, but the guide's fluent narration provided insights into the history and connections of the island and its surrounding islets, which was very educational.

For lunch, I had a delicious Ishigaki beef hamburger. The mozuku vinegar was quite strong, and if you eat it too quickly, it can make you cough. But it was tasty!

The guide's performance of traditional songs while playing the sanshin was impressive. I was truly amazed. While there isn't much freedom in the itinerary, I recommend this tour for anyone visiting the island for the first time.

思い立ち一人旅の石垣島
バスツアー自体初めてですがとても良い経験をさせていただきました。
なにも考えず南国の島
などと浮かれていましたがガイドさんの流暢な語りで島や周辺の離島などの歴史や関わりなどを知り、とても勉強になりました。
ランチは石垣牛のハンバーグで美味しかったです。もずく酢は酢が強くて勢い良く食べるとむせます。でも美味しい

ガイドさんの三線を弾きながらの民謡は圧巻でした。流石だと思います
自由度はありませんが初めて島に行かれる方は参加するのをお勧めします。

At first, I was a bit worried because the guide was somewhat older, but once the tour started, he turned out to be the best guide. He had a wide range of knowledge about Yakushima's history, nature, and recent events, along with a great sense of humor, making the tour very fulfilling. Additionally, when other tour participants were damaging nature to take photos, he didn't hesitate to firmly caution them, showing how much he truly cares about Yakushima's natural environment.

少々お年を召したガイドさんだったので最初は少し不安に思ったが、ツアーが始まるとその方は最高のガイドさんだった。
屋久島に歴史のこと、自然のこと、最近のことまで幅広い知識とユーモアがあり、ツアーとても充実したものだった。また、他のツアー客が写真を撮るために自然を壊す行為をしてしまっている時には躊躇せずにしっかりと注意をし、屋久島の自然をとても大切にしているのが伝わってきた。

The weather was unfortunately bad, but I still had a good time. On Taketomi Island, perhaps because it was right after the holiday, most shops were closed, and the few that were open had almost sold out of everything I wanted to eat, which was disappointing.

あいにくの天気でしたが楽しめました。竹富島では、連休明けだからかどこのお店もお休みで、やっと空いてた店もほとんど売り切れで食べたいものがなかったのは残念でした。

During the tour in early May, I enjoyed famous spots in the Iburi region. I also used this opportunity for a pilgrimage to the sacred sites of a certain gold bar manga (Noboribetsu, Lake Shikotsu, and brown bears)!

At Noboribetsu Onsen, I unexpectedly encountered wild Ezo deer, and at the bear ranch, I was able to see newborn cubs born in April and the breeding behavior of large brown bears. I think I was able to experience the unique charm of participating in spring.

Along the way, the guide's stories were also interesting. They kindly took photos for us, and the communication in three languages was smooth, leaving a very good impression. The pudding and yogurt from the Silo Observatory, the scallops from the Toyako Onsen area, and the soft serve ice cream from the Shikotsu Onsen area, all recommended by the guide, were incredibly delicious.

Although the timing at Lake Toya (during lunch) felt a bit rushed, the distribution of time for the other activities was fine, and overall, the pace was good, so I was satisfied.

Additionally, the scenery from the car window was full of highlights, including the industrial area of Muroran, the wind power generation group in Date, the expansive hills of pastures, and the shimmering lakeside at sunset!

　5月初旬のツアーにて、胆振地方の有名スポットを堪能。某金塊漫画の聖地巡礼（登別・支笏湖・ヒグマ）を兼ねて利用しました！
　登別温泉では偶然にも野生のエゾジカを、熊牧場では4月に生まれたての子熊や、大きなヒグマの繁殖行動を見ることができ、春の参加ならではの魅力を味わえたかなと思います。
　道中、ガイドさんのお話も面白かったです。快く写真を撮ってくださったり、3カ国での対応もスムーズでとても良い印象でした。オススメしてもらった、サイロ展望台のプリンとヨーグルト、洞爺湖温泉街の帆立、支笏湖温泉街のソフトクリーム、どれも大変美味しかったです。
　ツアー時程は、洞爺湖での時間（昼食のタイミング）が若干追われてしまったものの、他の時間配分は問題なし、全体的にはテンポ良かったので満足できました。
　また、車窓からの景色についても、室蘭の工業地帯や伊達の風力発電群、牧場草原の広がる丘、夕陽の煌めく湖岸など、見所満載でした！

In the morning, the snow-capped mountains were obscured by clouds, but when we arrived at Amida-ga-hara, signs of clear weather appeared, and the bright blue sky revealed a stunning range of white and green mountains, which was truly moving. Along the way, Mr. Otsuka, a specialist in physical sciences, provided an excellent explanation of the geography and history of Tateyama.

午前中は雲で雪山は見えず、阿弥陀が原についたら晴天の兆しがみえ、真っ青な空をパックに白と緑の山並みが出現し感動しました。
道中、大塚さんの理学の専門家の説明で、立山の地理、歴史が良くわかりました。

Since it was a Saturday tour, my family was able to participate. We had a great time watching the training of the new ground staff at the counter and the water evacuation training for the cabin crew. The guide mentioned that even staff members rarely get to see the water training, so we felt very lucky. It was interesting to learn that 70% of the training for the glamorous cabin crew is focused on safety operations, which made me realize that safe flights are made possible thanks to each and every one of them. The pilots who finished their training in the flight simulator also waved to us in a friendly manner.

土曜日の見学ツアーだったので家族で参加できました。
新人グランドスタッフさんのカウンターでの訓練の様子や、客室乗務員さんの水上脱出訓練を見ることができとても楽しかったです。説明員の方がおっしゃってましたが、水上訓練はスタッフでもなかなか見る機会がないとのことで、とてもラッキーでした。華やかに見える客室乗務員さんの訓練の７０％は安全業務だということで、改めて安全なフライトは皆さん一人一人のお陰で成り立っているのだと実感できました。フライトシュミレータから訓練を終えたパイロットさんも気さくに手を振ってくださいました。

I had seen in reviews that there were many foreign participants, so I had assumed it might be noisy, but the bus was quiet, and everything was on schedule, allowing us to have a very smooth day!

The tour guide was very pleasant and surprised us by explaining things in three languages!

The bus drove safely, which was reassuring, but the seats were a bit cramped, so my body started to ache after a long time traveling.

Overall, it was an excellent trip! Thank you!

参加者は外国の方が多いとクチコミで見ていたので、騒がしいのかなーと勝手に思っていたのですが、バスの中は静かで時間もきっちりされていて、とてもスムーズな1日を過ごすことができました！

添乗員さんは感じの良い方で、３ヶ国語で説明もされていて驚きました！

バスも安全運転だったので安心でしたが、座席が狭めなので、長時間移動で体が痛くなりました。。

ですが全体的に◎の旅でした！ありがとうございました！

At first, I was thinking of using a non-tour bus for sightseeing. However, as I researched bus stops and schedules, I started to feel a bit overwhelmed (getting older makes things feel more burdensome), so I decided to join a tour instead. Since I only needed to remember the meeting place and time for the bus, I didn't have to think about a lot of things and was able to leisurely enjoy the gassho-zukuri architecture and nature.

Additionally, the guide pointed out photo spots, and I was able to capture the gassho-zukuri houses with the fresh green mountains and blue sky in the background, along with the rice fields that had just finished planting.

最初はツアーでないバスを使って観光しようと思っていました。
でもバス停や時刻表など調べていて、ちょっと気が重くなってきて（歳を重ねて億劫になってきました）ツアーに参加することにしました。
バスの集合場所と時間だけ覚えておけばよいので、あれこれ考える必要がなく、ゆっくり合掌造りと自然を楽しめました。

そして、ガイドさんにフォトスポットを教えていただき、新緑の山と青空をバックに合掌造りと田植えが終わったばかりの水田が撮れました。

I needed a cane to walk due to my mobility issues, but for the stair area, an elevator was arranged, and explanations were also prepared separately for everyone. As a result, I was able to take my time and explore various places while listening to the explanations.

私は足が不自由なため、歩くのに杖が必要でしたが、階段エリアについては、エレベーター手配していだき、また説明ほ皆さんと別にご準備していただけました
そのため、ゆっくりと、いろいろな場所をゆっくり説明聞きながらまわることができました

I was looking forward to visiting the northern region since I had never been there before. It was mentioned that there would be an accompanying tour conductor instead of a guide. Even though it was a tour conductor, I felt that the explanations were a bit lacking. There was an announcement about the departure time before getting off the bus, but the guidance on where to go and what to do was not very clear. In some places, there were explanations provided. It seemed that the microphone wasn't working well, so it appeared that only the people in the front seats were getting the explanations...

北部は行ったことがなかったので楽しみにしていました。
ガイドさんではなく添乗員さんの同行とのこと。
添乗員さんとはいえ説明が少し足りないと思いました。
バスを降りる前に出発時間のアナウンスはあるのですが、どこで何をするのか分かりやすい案内ではなかった。
場所によっては説明してくれる所もあった。
マイクの声がとおらなくて前方の席の人には説明してたようですが…

Tour guide Mr. Mike narration is good.
The trip itinerary slip with brief details was missing.

The service from the tour guide was amazing. I was impressed that they could speak English, Chinese, and Japanese. They handed out maps and provided detailed explanations on efficient routes and locations. They also answered questions, which made me feel at ease. I will participate again!

添乗員さんのサービスがすごい。
英語、中国語、日本語が話せて感心しました。
地図を配ってくれて、効率の良い回り方と、場所の説明も細かく教えてれました。質問にも答えてくれて安心しました。
また参加します！

A great plan that allows you to visit Takayama and Shirakawa-go in one day, which is difficult to do on your own. The guide was fluent in three languages, and there were no issues with the explanations in Japanese. They provided a course that was easy to navigate, and following their suggestions allowed us to manage our time perfectly. There seemed to be congestion on the road just before Shirakawa-go, but thanks to the driver's and guide's judgment to take an alternate route, we arrived smoothly. Although we got tired from walking around in the heat, we were able to take breaks in the air-conditioned bus during the transfers, which made it very comfortable for us.

個人ではなかなか移動が難しい、高山と白川郷を1日で周れるお得なプラン。
ガイドさんは３カ国語ペラペラで、日本語の説明も問題ありませんでした。
周りやすいコースも案内していただき、その通りに周ればちょうどいいくらいの時間でした。白川郷の手前で道路が混雑してたみたいなのですが、ドライバーさんとガイドさんの判断で別ルートに変更されたことでスムーズに到着できました。
また暑い中歩き回って疲れたのですが、移動中にクーラーの効いたバス内で休憩ができたので、身体もとても楽でした。

We were blessed with great weather, making it the best tour experience. Thanks to Mr. Otsuka's thorough explanations and the background knowledge we gained at the Tateyama Caldera Sabo Museum about the snow wall, we were able to appreciate the actual snow walls over time and feel the grandeur of nature even more. We drank spring water from the Itachi River that we collected in our water bottles, dug into the snow to create a table like a kotatsu, and enjoyed our lunch there. We also got to see a rock ptarmigan. Thank you for this extraordinary experience!

お天気に恵まれ最高のツアー体験でした
大塚さんの丁寧な解説や立山カルデラ砂防博物館で雪の大谷の予備知識を得られたことで、実物の雪の壁に時間を重ねて見たり、自然の雄大さをより感じることができました
いたち川の湧き水を頂いた水筒に入れて飲んだり、雪原で雪を掘り炬燵のように掘りテーブルを作ってお弁当を食べたり、雷鳥も見ることができました
非日常体験をありがとうございました

I walked in an incredible wind. The condition of the road was bad. There were puddles too. But I’m really glad I came because of the wonderful scenery.

ものすごい風の中あるきました。道の状態は、わるかつたです。みずたまりもあつたし。でも、素晴らしい景色で本当にあってよかった

If you're going to the Churaumi Aquarium, this is the best choice. In this class, there are often additional charges for admission, but this price includes everything. At the Kouri Bridge, we were able to see sea turtles.

美ら海水族館に行くなら1番。このクラスだと、入場券別が多いが、込みでこの価格。古宇利大橋では、ウミカメにあえました。

I found this tour while planning my trip to Kanazawa after many decades. The idea of being able to take a day trip to Shirakawa-go was exciting! Since my last visit was in the summer, I was thrilled to see the gassho-zukuri reflected in the rice fields! I quickly jumped at the opportunity and made a reservation.

The microbus stopped near the bus stop for the Shirakawa-go viewpoint, allowing us to fully enjoy the wonderful scenery of the town and the surrounding mountains. The tour guide pointed out great spots for sightseeing and photography, so I was able to capture beautiful shots of the gassho-zukuri reflected in the rice fields.

It was my first visit to Gokayama, and I was once again touched by the beauty of Japan's satoyama (rural landscape). The tour guide's information about Kanazawa was also very interesting (thank you!).

We arrived in Kanazawa just before 4 PM. I thought it was a perfect time for those taking the shinkansen to head home, but I personally wished for a bit more time to stay in each place.

ん十年ぶりの金沢旅行からのプラン考え中にこのツアーを見つけました。
白川郷に日帰りで行けるなんて！前回訪問は夏だったので水田に映る合掌作りが見れる！の案内に直ぐ飛びつき予約をしました。
白川郷展望台へのマイクロバス乗り場から近くにバスが停車、白川郷の街並みと山々の素晴らしい景色をぞんぶんに堪能できました。
添乗員さんが見学＆撮影ポイントを教えてくださったので水田に映る合掌作りもバッチリ撮影できました。
五箇山は初めての来訪。改めて日本の里山の素晴らしさに心和みました。
添乗員さんの金沢を含めた案内もとても興味深かったです。(ありがとうございます。)
金沢到着16時前。新幹線に乗って帰宅される方には丁度いい時間と思いましたが、私はそれぞれもう少し滞在時間が欲しかったです。

The transfer from the boat to the bus to the water buffalo and back to the bus and then the boat can be quite a journey. I think it's better to avoid walking to the water buffalo riding area, especially on hot days, due to the elevation changes. I'm glad I went with a tour.

船→バスの送迎→水牛→バスの送迎→船
水牛乗り場まで、徒歩で行くのは高低差もあり、暑い日はやめた方が良いと思います。ツアーで良かったと思いました

I was aiming to go to the tip of the Shakotan Peninsula, but unfortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately...

積丹半島の先端に行くのが目的でしたが残念残念残念残念残念残念残念残念残念残念残念、、、、、、、、、、

I took a solo trip to Yakushima at a turning point in my life. It was a place I had longed to visit someday… and it turned out to be the perfect spot for me at this moment. Considering the season, I was blessed with good weather and felt like I received a lot of energy from the great outdoors!!

Our tour group consisted of six women, and from the start, we successfully completed the mountain trekking without any of us retiring after 11 hours and 30 minutes. The sense of accomplishment I felt at the end was something I could only experience here. I think it was physically quite challenging for us 🤭.

I hope to visit Yakushima again someday!

人生の節目に屋久島ひとり旅をしました。
いつか行ってみたいと念願だった場所…
今の自分にピッタリの場所でした。
時季を考慮し天候にも恵まれて
大自然から沢山のパワーをもらえた
様な気がします！！
私達のツアーグループは女子６人でしたが
スタートから11時間30分
全員がリタイヤする事なく無事に
登山トレッキングに成功できました😭
終えた時の達成感はここでしか味わえない
ものでした。体力的にもギリギリだったの
ではないかと思います🤭
またいつの日か屋久島を訪ねたいです！

I saw a facility for evacuation drills when an airplane lands in the sea. It's important to train for everything that could possibly happen so that we can respond without panic when it occurs.

海に飛行機が着陸した時の避難訓練の施設を見ました。あり得ることは全て訓練しておくことで、発生した時に慌てずに対応出来るようにしておくことが重要ですね。

I had a wonderful experience riding the water buffalo cart on Iriomote Island, which I had wanted to try after seeing it featured on TV and in magazines. Unfortunately, the weather was rainy and not very good, but the day flew by as we traveled between three islands by ferry and bus from the morning. Next time I go, I would like to stay overnight on each island.

以前よりテレビや雑誌で紹介されてる西表島の水牛車に乗ってみたかったのでたいへん良い思い出になりました。
あいにく天気は雨模様であまり良くなかったですが朝からフェリーやバス移動で3島巡りがあっという間に1日が過ぎた感じです。今度行くときは各島々に1泊しながら行ってみたいです
