All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

I was able to visit Kouri Island and Pineapple Park, which I hadn't been to yet during my tour of the main island. I couldn't help but think about why pineapples are so cute while taking photos, and the staff who helped us were cheerful, which really lifted my spirits! I also got to enjoy a lot of delicious food from Okinawa, and I finally made it to Kouri Island. The guide was very kind and shared many stories about Okinawa's legends and history, and they were great at singing too! The weather was wonderful, making it a fun tour.

本島巡りで、まだ行けていなかった古宇利島、パイナップルパークにも行けました。
パイナップルって、なんで可愛いんだろう、、って思いながら、写真撮って貰う時のスタッフさんも明るくて、ついついテンション上がりました！
沖縄の美味しいものも沢山食べたり、念願の古宇利島へも行けて、ガイドさんも親切に沢山いろんな沖縄の伝説や歴史について話してくださり、歌も上手でした！
天気にも恵まれて楽しいツアーでした。

Amanohashidate and Ine were wonderful places worth visiting at least once. However, the tour itself was the worst.

First, the sightseeing boat in Ine could only be booked at 12:00 or 16:00, so the order of Amanohashidate and Ine was suddenly switched. At this point, it was already questionable, but then the driver made a wrong turn, causing a nearly 20-minute delay, and we ultimately missed the 12:00 boat, changing to the 16:00 boat instead. We toured Amanohashidate as originally planned. At this point, the guide was expressing dissatisfaction with the driver in Chinese and venting to the Chinese tourists after arriving at Amanohashidate. The guide probably wanted to say that it wasn't their fault, but from the customer's perspective, the guide and driver are on the same team. By the way, the driver did not apologize for the delay at all.

We headed from Amanohashidate to Ine, but this time the guide and driver started arguing again about whether we could reach the funaya by bus. The guide used the bus microphone to express dissatisfaction with the driver in Chinese again, leaving non-Chinese speakers completely out of the loop. Also, although we were supposed to gather at the parking lot at 15:45, the bus was nowhere to be found. While the parking spaces were full, it seemed there was a lack of communication between the guide and driver, and we were left wandering around not knowing where to board.

After disembarking from the sightseeing boat, we stopped by the tourist information center to pick up those who hadn't taken the boat, but there was no explanation about this at all. In the end, we arrived at Kyoto Station an hour late, but despite the obvious human error causing the delay, there was no proper apology.

Additionally, with 48 participants, the bus was so cramped that it couldn't accommodate everyone without using extra seats, leading to arguments among tourists over seating. Couldn't they have capped the tour at a smaller number or arranged for two buses?

This tour began with an unthinkable mistake for a professional, where the sightseeing bus driver made a wrong turn, followed by a clear lack of communication between the guide and driver, and the guide's lack of professionalism in airing internal issues to the customers. I was exhausted from being caught up in things I never wanted to see as a customer. I never want to experience a tour like this again.

天橋立と伊根は素晴らしいところだった。一度は足を運ぶ価値のある場所である。ただし、このツアー自体は最悪だった。

まず、伊根の遊覧船が12時か4時しか取れないということで、急遽天橋立と伊根の順番が入れ替わった。この時点で⁇だったが、さらに運転手が道を間違え20分近いロスがあり、結局12時の船に間に合わず伊根の遊覧船は4時に変更、当初の予定通り天橋立を観光した。この時点でガイドは中国語で運転手への不満を、天橋立に到着後、中国人ツアー客にぶちまけていた。ガイドとすれば、自分は悪くないと言いたかったのだろうが、客からすれば、ガイドと運転手は同じ側の人間である。ちなみに、運転手からも最終的に遅れたことへの謝罪は何もなかった。

天橋立から伊根へと向かったが、今度はバスで舟屋に行けるか否かで再びガイドと運転手が揉め出した。ガイドはバスのマイクを使って中国語で運転手への不満を再びぶちまけるが、中国語の話者以外は完全に置き去りだった。また、3時45分に駐車場で集合のはずなのにバスがいない。駐車スペースが満車だったこともあるが、ガイドと運転手の間で連絡ができていないのか、駐車場以外のどこで乗るかもわからず右往左往させられた。

遊覧船を下船後も、観光案内所に遊覧船に乗らなかった人をピックアップするために立ち寄ったが、そうした説明は全くなかった。結局、京都駅に１時間遅れで到着したが、明らかな人為的ミスによる遅延にも関わらず、これといった謝罪もなかった。

さらに、参加者が48人と多く、バスは補助席を出さなければ参加者全員を収容できないありさまで、非常に窮屈だった。おかげで、座席を巡るツアー客同士の口論までおきた。より少ない人数でツアーを締め切る、あるいはバスを２台用意するなどできなかったのか。

このツアーでは、観光バスの運転手が道を間違えるという、プロとして考えられないミスに始まり、明らかなガイドと運転手の意思疎通の不足が原因の二転三転、そして内輪の事情を客にぶちまけるガイドのプロ意識の欠如など、あってはならないもの、客として見たくないものに振り回されて疲労困憊だった。こういうツアーは二度と経験したくない。

After getting on the bus, my friend, who started feeling unwell after a while, surprised us by saying she wanted to go back to the hotel. We decided to consult the guide, and after talking to them, they provided us with polite assistance, allowing her to recover and enjoy the rest of the trip.

This was my fifth time in Okinawa, but it was my friend's first visit, so I was relieved we didn't have to make any unscheduled stops. I usually rely on public transportation and walking to reach my destinations, so this was my first time taking a bus like this. I enjoyed visiting Pineapple Park, Manzamo, and Kouri Bridge, which were all new experiences for me. Thank you to the guide and the driver.

If I had to say something, I wish I could have spent a little more time at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. However, given our packed schedule, I suppose time constraints are inevitable.

バスに乗って、しばらくして体調不良を訴えた友人は、ここでホテルに帰ると言い出してびっくり。ガイドさんに相談してみよう、ということで、話したら丁寧な対応をしていただいて彼女は復調して最後まで楽しむことができました。
私は沖縄５回目でしたが、友人は初めてでしたし、途中下車しなくてよかったです。
私は、今まで自力主義で路線バスや歩きで目的まで行くので、こういうバスに乗ったのは初めてでした。パイナップルパークや万座毛、古宇利大橋は初めてでしたの、楽しめました。
ガイドさん、ドライバーさん、ありがとうございました。


あえて言えば、もう少し、美ら海水族館にいたかった・・です。欲張りな日程なので、時間不足は敷かないのでしょうが。

The scenery was beautiful, and we visited several places in one day. Both the driver and the guide were great. I will book again later. I am very satisfied.

景色がきれいで、一日にいくつかの場所に行きました。運転手もガイドもいいです。後でまた予約する。とても満足です

It was my first time in Okinawa and my first bus tour, and I was very satisfied. It was a great deal to visit so many places in one day with entry tickets included.

The tour guide's enthusiasm and consideration to ensure everyone had a good time were wonderful!

The souvenir shop's recommendation of "this is what we recommend here" was also nice.

However, I was surprised that… I was told via email that it would be a white or red bus, but when I waited, it didn't come at all. The tour guide called out names and helped me find it, so I was able to board safely, but the bus that arrived was blue.

I was a bit worried when I signed up, wondering if this bus company would be okay, but I was very satisfied with my choice. I would like to use their services again when I come back to Okinawa.

初めての沖縄で初めてのバスツアーでしたが大満足です。
1日でこれだけ回れて入場券付きはお得。

添乗員さんの全力で楽しんでもらおうという意気込み気遣いが素晴らしい！！

お土産さんの「ここではこれがオススメですよ」も良かったです。

ただひとつびっくりしたのは……メールで白か赤のバスですとのことだったので、待っていたらぜんぜん来なくて。
添乗員さんが名前を呼んで探してくれたので無事に乗れましたが。当日来たのはブルーのバスでした。

申し込む時はこのバス会社で大丈夫かなぁと不安でしたが申し込んで大満足でした。また沖縄に来た時はお世話になりたいと思います。

It was supposed to rain, but surprisingly, the clouds held off. Although it was slower than walking, I applaud the water buffalo for their effort. I encountered a kingfisher in the mangroves, which made for a very enjoyable time. Finally, we visited Taketomi Island. It was full of old-fashioned charm, and I was able to savor the good old days. I would love to come back again.

雨予報でしたが、なんと雲でもってくれました。時間的には、徒歩より遅いですが、水牛のがんばりに、拍手👏。マングローブでは、カワセミに遭遇。ととても楽しい時間でした。最後は、竹富島。昔の雰囲気がいっぱいで、古き良き時代を満喫できました。再度来たいと思います。

The weather was great, making it the perfect day. Our tour guide, Mr. Chou, was a wonderful guide who was very attentive. I've visited Kumamoto Castle and Mount Aso several times, and while they are easily accessible by car, I decided to join the tour for a more relaxed experience. It was my first time visiting the shrine, and it was a lovely place. Mr. Chou also shared the history of Kumamoto Castle, as well as highlights and local specialties from other sites. Although it was a mixed tour with international tourists, everything went smoothly, and I was able to end the day on a high note.

お天気も良くて、最高の1日となりました。
ツアーガイドのチョウさんは、とても気配りの出来る素敵なガイドさんでした。
何度も訪れている熊本城と阿蘇山
車でも簡単に行くことの出来る場所ですが、気楽に行ってみようと参加しました。
神社は、初めて行きましたが、とても良い場所でした。
チョウさんは、熊本城の歴史、他の各所の見所や名物、美味しい物の紹介もしてくださいました。
海外からの観光客との混載ツアーでしたが、
何の問題もなく、最高の1日を終えることが出来ました。

The weather was great! Takachiho Gorge was just as beautiful as the photos in the guidebook. The food was delicious. What I found concerning was the meeting place. There were many similar tours, mostly Chinese tourists speaking Chinese. There were also many flags for "EasyGo," so I couldn't tell which tour was which. I think the destination should be clearly stated.

天気にも恵まれ良かった！
高千穂峡はガイドブックに載っている写真そのままで素敵でした。
食事も美味しかった。
気になったのは…集合場所
似たようなツアー多数で、ほぼ中国人、中国語
『EasyGo』の旗も多数…どのツアーかわからなかった。行き先も明記すべきだと思う。

It's quite challenging to arrange everything on your own, but being able to leave it all to someone else is really helpful. I highly recommend this for those who want to visit various places and see different sights, even if it's a bit rushed! The transportation to and from the hotel and experience locations is very thorough! The bus driver on Iriomote Island was also very entertaining. I have difficulty walking and used a cane, but they were very considerate about the seating, and I was extremely satisfied.

個人で手配すると大変ですが全てお任せ出来るのがとても助かります。少し駆け足ですが色々な所を回りたい、見たい人には凄くおすすめです！ホテルまでの送迎や体験場所までの送迎もついて至れり尽くせりです！西表島のバスの運転手さんの話も面白かったです。足が悪く杖をついていましたが、座席なども気を使って頂いて大満足でした。

I was moved to understand the thoughts and efforts of the ANA staff. I felt this strongly from the person who explained things to us. I want to try flying with ANA now. It was great to learn various things about airplanes and the aviation industry.

ANAの社員の皆さんの思いや努力が分かって感動しました。説明していただいた係の方からも、強く感じました。ANAに乗ってみたくなりました。飛行機や航空関係のことも色々分かってよかったです。

We safely arrived at Jomon Sugi, but unfortunately, it was completely white with fog. It was said to be the second least visible situation in 25 years. However, it was a rare experience, and I was very glad that everyone returned safely without any injuries.

縄文杉に無事に到着しましたが、あいにくの霧で真っ白。２５年の中で二番目に見えない状況だったそう。そらはそれでレアな体験ができたことと、全員が怪我なく無事に帰れたことがらとても良かった。

This was my second visit to Shirakawa-go, and the illuminated scenery was different from what I experienced during the day. The view from the observation deck was particularly exceptional.

The bus guide was also very articulate, making the journey enjoyable.

I would definitely like to participate again if the opportunity arises.

白川郷を訪れたたのは2回目でしたが
ライトアップでは日中訪れるのとまた異なる景色でした。
特に展望台から眺める景色は格別でした。

バスガイドのお姉さんもとても話し上手で道中楽しく過ごす事が出来ました。

また機会があれば是非参加したいと思います。

The weather was favorable,
the lunch was delicious,
there was just the right amount of snow left,
and I had plenty of time to stroll around.
I was more satisfied and enjoyed it more than I expected.
A perfect score of 100 points! 🏆

天候に恵まれ
昼食も美味しく
丁度いい塩梅の雪が残って
散策する時間も余裕あり
思って以上に満足で楽しめました。
100点満点優勝🏆

First of all, the bus driver who guided us around Iriomote Island was very good at explaining things, which was great. The water buffalo cart to Yufu Island was also nice because we could listen to live sanshin music. However, I felt that we had a bit too much free time on Yufu Island itself. After that, we had the Nakama River mangrove tour, but I think it would have been more enjoyable to reverse the order, shorten the time on Yufu Island, and extend the time on Taketomi Island.

先ず、西表島は島内移動バスの運転手さんのガイドは説明が上手く、良かったです。
由布島への水牛車も、三線生歌を聞けて良かったです。
ただ、由布島自体は少し時間を持て余す感じでした。
その後、仲間川マングローブツアーでしたが、順番は逆にして由布島も短くして、
竹富島の時間を長くした方が楽しめる気がしました。

The guide provided information in both Japanese and English, and we, as Japanese people, had a great time. The tour, which allowed us to visit efficiently, was truly helpful. Thank you for your assistance. The guide was kind and wonderful, and we felt safe with the driver as well.

ガイドさんは日本語と英語両方で案内してくれて日本人の私達もとても楽しかったです。
効率よく回れるツアーは本当助かります。
お世話になりありがとうございました
親切で素敵なガイドさんです。運転手の方も安心できました

It's a completely different world from the main island! Each island is totally different. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. I chose to explore Taketomi freely, but getting around was inconvenient. Next time, I would like to rent a bicycle.

とにかく本島とは別世界！
島ごとにぜんぜん違います。
とにかく素敵な体験ができました。
竹富はフリー散策にしたのですが、移動が不便でした。次回は、自転車を借りたいと思いました。

It snowed more than expected, but everything went according to plan. I'm grateful to the bus driver. There were many foreigners, so it wasn't a calm atmosphere, but I was satisfied to see the snowy Shirakawa-go. I was impressed by the guide's language skills and hospitality. Truly professional.

予想以上の雪でしたが、予定通りに進めて下さいました。バスの運転手さんに感謝です。外国人がとても多く、落ち着いた雰囲気ではありませんでしたが、雪の白川郷が見られて満足です。ガイドさんの語学力とホスピタリティに驚かされました。プロだなと。

It's recommended for visiting various places in a short stay. Yufuin had more traffic than I expected, but I was able to enjoy food walking and other activities. The visit to Kamado Jigoku was a bit rushed, so I wished I could have taken my time to see it more leisurely.

短い滞在でいろいろなところを周るにはおすすめです。湯布院は思った以上に渋滞していましたが，食べ歩きなどを満喫できました。かまど地獄が少し駆け足の観光だったので，もう少しゆっくり見たかったです。

More than half of the tour was made up of international guests. Since there were English speakers during meals, I was able to enjoy conversing in English. The scenery in Shirakawa-go and Takayama was so charming and reminiscent of the settings in old tales and period dramas, which left me deeply moved.

海外の方が半分以上のツアーでした。英語圏の方が食事の際となりだったので、英会話を楽しめました。
景色は白川郷も高山も昔話や時代劇の舞台になりそうなゆったりとした風情に感動しました。

I visit Takayama every year, but this is my first time in Shirakawa-go. I wish I could have walked around a bit longer. It's such a lovely place, and I would like to visit again. The tour guide was a wonderful person, and I understood everything they said. I think it would have been nice to have a slightly longer time at the café. Please introduce me to another tour.

高山は、毎年行きますが、白川郷は、はじめてです。
もう少し長い時間散歩できると良かったです。素敵なところなので、もう一度いきたいです
添乗員さんは、とても素晴らしい人で、話しもよくわかりました。
少し長いカフェの時間が、あると良かったかなと思います
また、ツアーを紹介してください。

It was a relaxing and heartwarming day trip. After arriving at Iriomote Island, the bus driver who took us from the port to Yufu Island entertained us with witty talk, filling the vehicle with laughter and smiles. Additionally, the water buffalo pulling the cart to Yufu Island had names, and we were introduced to their personalities, which was delightful.

On Taketomi Island, there are options for transportation such as rental bicycles and carts, but walking slowly allowed us to make many small discoveries. The sight of the water buffalo cart moving leisurely along the alleys surrounded by coral stone walls and flowers will remain a cherished memory of Taketomi Island.

のんびり、ほっこりできた日帰りツアーでした。
西表島に到着後、港から由布島までの移動でお世話になったバスドライバーの軽妙なトークで、車内は笑いと笑顔で満たされました。また、由布島までのんびりと牛車を引っ張る水牛くんには名前がついており、それぞれの性格まで紹介して頂き、ほっこりしました。
竹富島での移動にはレンタサイクルや牛車などがありますが、徒歩でゆっくり巡ったお陰で沢山の小さな発見がありました。珊瑚の石垣と花に囲まれた路地を歩きながら見た、水牛の牛車がのんびりと移動する様子は、竹富島の良い思い出として心に残りました。

The main purpose of this trip was to ride the water buffalo cart, and I learned a lot from the explanations about the mangroves. Hearing about the unique natural formation of the subtropics and seeing it right in front of me made for a great experience. Riding the water buffalo was a first for me, and each buffalo had its own personality, which was fun. The tour was truly wonderful.

今回水牛車に乗るのが一番の目的でしたかか、マングローブについていろいろ説明を受けて勉強になりました。亜熱帯ならではの自然の成り立ちを聞き目の前に広がり、良い体験になりました。水牛車は初めての体験で乗る水牛によって個性があり楽しかったです。
ツアーは本当に素晴らしかったです。

I was mostly surrounded by foreigners, but thanks to the guide's thorough explanations on the bus, I was able to have an enjoyable time. Despite the unfortunate rain, I believe it's a place worth visiting.

ほぼ外国の方に囲まれておりましたが、ガイドさんがバスの中で丁寧に説明いただいたお陰で楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
あいにくの雨でしたが、足を伸ばす価値のある場所だと思います。

It was my first time on Iriomote Island. We traveled by bus from the port to the cart station on Yufu Island, and the driver provided a really entertaining guide, making it a fun experience. The cart ride, the exploration of Yufu Island, and the lunch bento were all delicious. I definitely want to go back if I have the chance.

初めての西表島でした。港から由布島の
牛車乗り場まで、バスで移動でしたが運転士さんが凄い面白いガイドをしていただき楽しい時間でした。牛車も由布島の散策や昼食のお弁当も美味しいかったですね。又機会があれば是非行きたいところです。

This was my first time using the service. I was a bit anxious, but the reservation and payment process went smoothly. When I actually experienced it, there were few Japanese people, but everyone, including the overseas guests, gathered on time. The guide and the customer service were perfect, and I had a great time. I recommended it to my friends as well.

初めて利用させて頂きました。
少し不安だったのですが　予約やお支払いも全てスムーズ。
実際に体験したら日本人は少ないですが　皆様時間通りに海外の方も集合　ガイドさんやガイドさんもう完璧にカスタマーサービス最高で楽しませて頂きました。
友人にもおすすめしました。

I love Mount Fuji! It's so beautiful. However, the sightseeing time is short, the matcha experience is brief, and there is only one hour for shopping. I don't think the satisfaction level is high, but I hope for improvements. I plan to introduce this to my friends.

大好きな富士山🏔️とても綺麗です🏔️
　　でも観光時間短く､抹茶🍵体験時間短く買い物🛍️時間も1時間しかありません、満足度高いと思いませんが、改善してほしい､これから友人に紹介しょうと思っています。

The time spent at each sightseeing spot is far too short. There's nothing you can do except for using the restroom. Please allocate more time at the main locations.

Also, is there any way to improve the meals at Auntie Pozer's table? The main hamburger is too bland. The tempura of white fish has no flavor at all, and there are no seasonings like salt. The small noodle soup is too greasy. I felt that the variety of side dishes was just for the sake of having many.

If it's a sightseeing bus, please clean the windows every day. It's not a regular bus.

The person in charge should join the tour once to understand the feelings of the tourists and aim for improvements.

各々の観光地の滞在時間があまりにも短すぎです。トイレ以外何もできません。
メインの場所では時間をとってください。

あと、ポーザーおばさんの食卓での食事は何とかなりませんか?　メインのハンバーグの味が薄すぎます。白身の魚の天ぷらは何の味もしませんし、塩などの調味料すらありません。小さな麺のスープが油っこすぎです。おかずの種類がただ多いだけと感じました。

観光バスであれば毎日窓のガラスをきれいに拭いてください。路線バスではありません。

観光客の気持ちとなって責任者は一度ツアーに同行すべきです。そして改善を目指してください。

There were many types of corals and fish, and they provided a lot of explanations! The storytelling was excellent, easy to understand, and I had a great time. I was thrilled to encounter a sea turtle, which really boosted my excitement. Thank you very much!

珊瑚や魚の種類が多くたくさん説明をしてくれました！お話が上手でわかりやすく楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
海ガメにも出会え嬉しくてテンションが上がりました。ありがとうございました！

We were blessed with good weather (there was snow, but it wasn't a blizzard or extremely cold), and we were able to fully enjoy the illumination of Shirakawa-go. The parking area was convenient since it was for the dining spots, so it wasn't crowded. Additionally, the bus was kept available for those who wanted to take a break along the way. I was also very grateful that the restaurant we dined at allowed us to use the restroom before the meeting time for our return (the outdoor restrooms had a long line). The directions to the observation deck, recommended routes, and suggested souvenirs were all explained clearly, making our sightseeing very smooth. If any friends or acquaintances say they want to visit Shirakawa-go, I will definitely recommend this tour!

お天気にも恵まれ（雪はちゃんとあるけれども吹雪いたり、超低温だったりではない）、十分に白川郷のライトアップを楽しむことができました。
駐車場の場所も、食事場所の駐車場なので混み合うこともありませんでしたし、途中で休みたくなった人のためにずっとバスは空けていてもらえました。また、食事をしたお店で、帰りの集合時間前にお手洗いに行けるよう配慮もして下さり、大変ありがたかったです（外のお手洗いは行列でした。）
展望台への行き方、おすすめの回り方、おすすめのお土産などもすべて分かりやすい説明で、大変スムーズに観光できました。友人・知人が白川郷に行きたいと言ったら、このツアーを間違いなく勧めます！

During my first solo trip to Okinawa, I was unsure about renting a car since I didn't know the area. After hearing about bus tours from acquaintances who traveled to Okinawa, I did some research and read experiences from solo participants, which led me to decide to join a tour for efficient sightseeing.

Participating in the tour allowed me to visit the attractions I wanted to see in a cost-effective and efficient manner. The beautiful Okinawan sea, the Churaumi Aquarium, and the live performance at Ryukyu Village were all wonderful experiences. I also signed up for a dinner that included a shamisen live performance, as I wanted to enjoy local Okinawan cuisine.

Thanks to the driver who prioritized safe driving and the kind and attentive guide, I had a fantastic day. I was particularly impressed by the guide's efforts to communicate in Japanese, despite being unfamiliar with the language.

一人旅の初めての沖縄で、地理も分からずレンタカーを借りるか迷いました。沖縄を旅行した知人からバスツアーの話を聞き、色々と調べ、お一人様参加の体験談を読ませて頂き効率良く巡れそうと参加を決めました。実際に参加してみて、自分が回りたい観光地をコスパと効率良く巡れてます。沖縄の海をイメージして美ら海水族館に琉球村での生演奏、素晴らしいかったです。沖縄の地元料理堪能したかったので三味線ライブを味わるディナーも申し込みました。安全運転に努めて下さった運転手の方と親切丁寧なガイドの方の案内で素敵な一日を過ごせました。またガイド方の不慣れな日本で語学を駆使して活躍される姿がとても印象に残りました。
