All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

I was the only Japanese person, and the rest were from China, so the guidance was in Chinese. They didn't seem to be very good at Japanese, so I received a sheet with the Japanese text explaining the course, which was not a problem. The crater of Mount Aso Nakadake was erupting, and the smoke was quite impressive, so we couldn't go there and changed to Kusasenri instead. It was disappointing, so I will try to visit the Aso crater again. Kusasenri was beautiful, and it was nice to have souvenir shops there as well.

日本人は私一人、あとは中国の方だったので、中国語で案内。日本語が得意ではないらしく、私には今回のコースの説明書きの日本語文章が書いてある用紙をいただいたので問題無かったです。阿蘇中岳の火山口が噴火して、煙がモクモクと凄かったので入れず、草千里に変更になりました。残念だったのでまたリベンジ阿蘇火山口します。草千里も綺麗でお土産屋もあって良かったです。

I participated with my elementary school child on the substitute holiday for the sports day. I was happy to see the trained crew members waving at us. Both adults and children enjoyed it. Knowing about the backyard makes me feel more at ease about flying.

小学生の子供と、運動会の振替休日に参加しました。
実際に訓練されているクルーの方が手を振ってくれてうれしかったです。大人も子供も楽しめました。バックヤードを知って、改めて安心して飛行機にのれそうです。

I have limited mobility, so the guide kindly arranged a special shuttle bus for me. Normally, it would be a 30-minute walk, but I was able to fully enjoy Takachiho. I will participate again.

あまり歩けない私は、ガイドさんの配慮で特別にシャトルバスを手配していただきました。普通なら30分位歩くコースなのですが、高千穂を充分満喫できました。また参加します。

I am very satisfied because I was able to visit various places in one day! However, since there are many places to go, the time spent at each ability is a bit short. It might not be suitable for those who want to take their time. But the bus guide was really nice and it was fun. I would like to experience it again!

一日で色んなところを周れたのでとても満足しています！
ただ行くところが多い分一つ一つのアビリティの所要時間が少ないです
ゆっくり周りたい方には向いてないかもしれません
ですがバスガイドさんもすごくいい方で楽しかったです
また体験したいです

I was greatly helped by the veteran guide, and despite the heavy rain, I was able to see Jomon Sugi. Thank you for your assistance.

ベテランのガイドさんに大変お世話になって
大雨のなかなんとか縄文杉を見ることができました
お世話になりありがとうございました

I traveled alone in the summer, and my middle school grandchild, after hearing about Okinawa, said they wanted to go, so we came together during the autumn break. Pineapple Park was more fun than I expected, the ice cream was delicious, and the dinosaur zone was a hit. Churaumi Aquarium was a classic joy, and the whale shark was truly amazing. Additionally, Manza Beach was particularly impressive! I was overwhelmed by its beauty. Thank you very much. Next time, I will visit with a larger group!

夏にひとり旅で、沖縄の話を聞いた中学生の孫が、行きたーいと言うので、秋休みを利用して2人で来ました。
パイナップルパークは思ったより楽しくてアイスも美味しいし、恐竜ゾーンが盛り上がりました。
美ら海水族館は定番の楽しさでやっぱりジンベイザメは最高でした。
あと、ことのほか良かったのは、万座毛です♪
その美しさには、圧倒されました。
ありがとうございました。
また、今度は、もう少し大人数で訪れます♪

I participated in this tour and was able to learn that all the employees undergo rigorous training repeatedly and work under strict standards. That's why I felt that our safety is being protected, and I felt a sense of gratitude. I'm glad I joined the tour! I highly recommend it!

このツアーに参加して、社員さん全員が何度も訓練を繰り返し、厳しい基準のもとに働いておられることを改めて知ることができました。
だからこそ私たちの安全が守られているんだなと感じ、感謝の気持ちもわいてきました。
ツアーに参加して良かったです！
すごくお勧めです！

The main highlight of this trip to Okinawa was the Churaumi Aquarium, so I booked this tour that allows plenty of time at the aquarium. Even though it was a weekday, it was busier than I expected due to inbound tourists and school trips, but I was still able to see the whale sharks as much as I wanted. Additionally, I got to see the dolphin show, which made me very satisfied! The staff accompanying us were very friendly, which was great. They introduced many highlights and recommended souvenirs at the places we visited. Thanks to their advice on where to buy lunch at Kouri Island station, I was able to relax even more at the aquarium!

今回の沖縄旅行のメインが美ら海水族館だったので、水族館にたっぷり時間をさいているこちらのツアーを予約しました。平日とはいえインバウンドや修学旅行で想像以上に混んでいましたが、それでもジンベエザメを好きなだけ見れました。加えてイルカのショーも見れたので大満足です！また同行のスタッフさんがとても気さくな方でよかったです。訪問先の見どころやおすすめのお土産もたくさん紹介してくれました。古宇利島の駅で昼食購入を教えてくださったおかげで、さらに水族館でゆっくりできました！

I was expecting a double-decker bus since there were only images of them, but what arrived was a standard-sized bus. The ceiling was made of glass (or acrylic?), but...

The guide who accompanied us was very good, but I was a bit disappointed because the part I was looking forward to the most was missing.

2階建てバスの画像ばかりだったので、期待していたのですが、来たのは通常サイズのバスでした。
天井は一応ガラス(?アクリル?)になっていましたが…

同乗していたガイドさんの対応はとても良かったですが、一番期待していた部分が無かったので、少しがっかりでした。

The view of Mount Fuji was stunning against the clear blue sky. On the way back, clouds started to appear, and I hummed the song about having my head above the clouds and the surrounding mountains. The hotel buffet was delicious, and the sightseeing boat ride was a great way to enjoy the travel experience. It was a tour filled with a sense of exotic charm, with many foreign visitors.

雲一つない青空に富士山がくっきりと映えて最高でした。
また帰りには雲が出てきて、
頭を雲の上に出し、四方の山を〜♬
口ずさみました。
ホテルのバイキングも美味しかったし、遊覧船も旅行気分満喫。
外国の方が多く異国情緒も味わえるツアーでした。

Since it was my first time on a tour in Kyoto, I had no idea where to go or how to get around, so I signed up for the tour. The tour guide was very lovable and provided a lot of lectures before we arrived at each destination, which allowed us to smoothly explore each place with some prior knowledge. I thought the plan was well-designed to allow us to visit each site in the shortest time possible. The plan included lunch, and I was quite satisfied with the generous portion.

初めて行く京都ツアーでしたので、どこをどのように回ると良いのか右も左もわからず申し込みました。
ツアーガイドさんも愛されキャラで、目的地に着く前に多くのレクチャーをして頂きましたので、予習済みの状態で各地をスムーズに周れました。各地でも最短で周れるよう工夫されたプランと思いました。
昼食付きのプランでしたので、昼食も頂きましたが、結構なボリュームで満足でした。

I wanted to drive around Ishigaki Island, but recently I've been a nervous driver and lacked confidence. Also, the local buses run infrequently, so I was about to give up when I found this tour.

While we did visit each sightseeing spot quickly, the friendly guide provided various explanations on the bus, and we were able to visit all the places we wanted.

At Kabira Bay, riding the glass-bottom boat means you can't relax on the sandy beach, but you can encounter cute creatures like sea turtles and clownfish.

Additionally, you can get off at the airport on the way back, so it's recommended to include this on your last day.

石垣島をドライブしたかったのですが、最近は、ペーパードライバーなので自信がなく、また、路線バスも本数が少なく、諦めかけていたときに、このツアーを見つけました。
各々の観光地は駆け足でめぐる感じにはなりますが、感じの良いガイドさんが、バス車内でも色々説明してくださいますし、行きたい場所はすべてまわる事ができました。
川平湾で、グラスボートに乗ると、砂浜でゆっくりすることはできませんが、ウミガメや、カクレクマノミなど、可愛い生き物たちに出会うことができます。
帰りも、空港で下車できるので、最終日に組み込むのもオススメです。

▶︎Impressions
- You can enjoy the day without any transportation worries.
- The tour guide was fun and answered questions politely.
- Fushimi Inari Taisha: The time was short.
We walked quickly around the Senbon Torii and had just enough time to buy an amulet at the shrine.
Since the meeting point is in front of the torii gate, shopping at nearby stores as listed in guidebooks is not possible.
- Kiyomizu-dera
We had free time to explore, visiting Kiyomizu-dera, Hokan-ji Temple, and Yasaka Kōshin-dō, and we had lunch.
There was plenty of sightseeing time.
- Kinkaku-ji
We had enough time to view and take photos.
- Arashiyama
The tour guide took us to the bamboo grove.
Unfortunately, the photos are a bit dim since it was evening.
There is a short walk from the bus to the bamboo grove, and since the surrounding shops are crowded, you need to choose whether to shop in Arashiyama or spend time in the bamboo grove.
Togetsukyo Bridge is near the meeting point, so you can see it properly and take photos.

▶︎Points of dissatisfaction
- Regarding the morning meeting point
In the morning, there were multiple tour guides, and I didn't know whom to approach.
I wish someone would announce, "The tour is this way!" when people arrive.
This time, I mistakenly approached the tour guide for the tram tour, who coldly said, "Talk to one of those two." One of them was another customer. I was filled with anxiety in the morning.

▶︎感想
・交通の不安なく、１日楽しめます
・添乗員さんが、楽しく、質問にも丁寧に答えてくれました
・稲荷大社:時間が短いです
　足早に千本鳥居付近を歩く＋境内でお守りを買う程度
　集合場所が鳥居前のため、ガイドブックで掲載されているような周辺のお店で買い物はできません
・清水寺
　フリーで周り、清水寺内、八坂の塔、八坂庚申堂、昼食をとりました
　十分な観光時間がありました
・金閣寺
　観覧時間程度、写真は十分とれました
・嵐山
　添乗員さんが竹林まで案内してくれました
　夕方のため、少し薄暗い写真なのが残念
　バスから竹林まで少し歩くこと、周辺のお店は混雑しているため、嵐山で買い物か、竹林か、どう過ごすか選ぶ必要があります
　渡月橋は、集合場所付近のため、きちんと見れ写真も撮れます

▶︎不満点
・朝の集合場所について
朝、複数ツアーの添乗員さんがいて、誰に声かけすればよいかわからない
人がきたら「……ツアーはこちらです！」とか声を出して欲しい
今回、トロッコ列車ツアーの添乗員さんに声かけしてしまい、冷たく「あの2人のどちらかに言って」と一言。その内の1人はなんと他のお客さん。朝は、不安でいっぱいでした。

You can smoothly visit the three islands. As mentioned in the reviews, the bus driver on Ishigaki Island was enjoyable to talk to, and I was able to see a baby water buffalo on the Yufu water buffalo cart. I recommend renting a bicycle on Taketomi Island. I think walking along the coast can be a bit tiring.

3島巡りスムーズに回れます
口コミにあるとおり、石垣島バスドライバーの話も楽しく、由布水牛車では水牛の子供も見れました
竹富島はレンタサイクルをおすすめします
徒歩で海岸沿いに散策するのは、ちょっとしんどいと思います

I'm really glad I participated in the tour. Our tour guide, Yoshikawa, was amazing. Thanks to Yoshikawa, I was able to collect all the goshuin stamps. Thank you very much. One thing I was a bit concerned about was that out of 45 people, there were only 8 foreigners, so I thought it would have been better if Japanese was spoken first before English.

ツアーに参加して本当によかったです。添乗員の吉川さん最高でした。吉川さんのお陰で御朱印すべてクリア出来ました。ありがとうございました。一つだけ気になったことですが45人中外国の方は8人だったはずなので日本語を始めに話してから英語ならよかったのになと私は思いました。

This was my first time booking a bus tour on my fourth visit to Okinawa. The tour was packed with popular sightseeing spots in just one day, making it a great deal. The time spent at each attraction was just right, and considering the ticket prices and transportation costs, it was worth more than the price! If you go individually, purchasing tickets can take a lot of time, but we were able to enter without any waiting. Since I participated during a three-day weekend, the parking seemed crowded, but we were able to get in quickly because we were on the bus. I recommend joining if you have two or more sightseeing spots you want to visit!

沖縄訪問4回目にして初めてバスツアーを予約させていただきました。
定番の観光地が1日にギュッと詰まっていて、お得なツアーでした。
各観光時間もちょうど良く、チケット代や交通費を考えてもお値段以上でした！
個人で行くと時間のかかるチケット購入も待ち時間無く入れました。
三連休で参加したので駐車場が混んでいたようですがバスなのですぐに入れました。
行きたい観光地が２つ以上あれば参加をオススメします！

Takachiho Shrine, a short walk
Takachiho Gorge, walking
Amanoiwato Shrine, quite a walk
Japanese lunch, delicious
Guide, I went to Shinshin Ramen!
It was tasty, thank you! ✋️

高千穂神社　少しあるく
高千穂峡　歩く
天岩戸神社　まあまあ歩く
和食ランチ　美味し
ガイドさ〜ん　シンシンラーメン行ってきたよー
美味しかった　ありがとう✋️

The meeting point was hard to see because the flag was not very visible, and the tour guide had not arrived, so I got lost. Many people were confused and wandering around because they couldn't see the flag. Even though the bus seats were assigned, there were still some people who didn't understand that. In the end, someone without a seat showed up, which delayed our departure.

Since it was a three-day weekend, we got caught in a huge traffic jam, making it a long bus tour, but we still had enough time at the sightseeing spots, which was good. Normally, this would be the season for autumn leaves, but this year was just before that; however, I was still healed by the beautiful scenery.

集合場所が旗が良く見えなかったり、添乗員が到着していなかったので迷った。旗が見えなくて大勢の人が右往左往していた。バスの席も決まっているのに、理解してない人がちらほら。結局、席がない人が現れ、出発が遅れた。
三連休中だったので大渋滞に巻き込まれ、長いバスツアーになったが、見学するポイントではそれでも充分に時間が取れたのでよかった。例年であれば紅葉の季節だが、今年は一歩手前だったけど、きれいな景色でいっぱい癒されました。

The weather and temperature were perfect! ☀︎
I was able to visit many tourist spots, which was great. ☺︎
The bus guide was very kind and provided a lot of information!

天気と気温が最高でした☀︎
沢山観光地が巡れたので良かったです☺︎
バスガイドさんがとても親切で沢山いろんな情報を教えて頂きました！

This trip is very interesting; we could spend a bit more time at the aquarium. Next time, I want to participate in other Okinawa itineraries, such as going out to the sea or diving...

今回の旅行はとても面白いです、水族館はもう少し時間を残すことができます。次回は海に出たりダイビングしたりするなど、他の沖縄の旅程に参加したい⋯⋯⋯⋯

The tour guide Maria was very kind ♡ She explained everything clearly and handled irregular situations well. I will participate again!

添乗員のマリアさんが優しい方でした♡分かりやすくイレギュラーの対応も良かった。また参加しますね！

I visited Meoto Iwa, Geku, and Naiku, and it was convenient to have a tour guide take us to Meoto Iwa since it is a bit far away. I was surprised by the crowd at Naiku during the middle of the three-day weekend. Additionally, due to an accident and traffic on the expressway, it took longer than expected to travel. At Naiku, the parking for regular cars had a 120-minute wait, which would have been difficult with a rental car. The tour guide was very kind, providing accurate explanations and information at key points, which deepened my understanding of the trip. Unlike trains, buses can be unpredictable in terms of travel time, but even considering that, I’m glad I chose the bus tour.

夫婦岩、外宮、内宮と回りましたが、夫婦岩は少し離れているのでツアーで連れて行ってもらえて楽でした。3連休の中日で内宮の混雑にはびっくりするほどでした。また高速道の事故と渋滞のため予想外に移動に時間がかかりました。内宮では一般車の駐車場が120分待ちで、レンタカーだと大変だったろうと思います。添乗員さんはとても親切で、要所要所で的確な説明と情報提供があり、旅の理解が深まりました。電車と違ってバスは行き帰りの時間が読めない点がありますが、それを差し引いてもバスツアーを選択して良かったです。

The weather was nice, making for a wonderful day. In Shirakawa-go, there was an annual doburoku festival, and I was glad to learn about it from our guide, as I didn't know about it beforehand. The guide was very knowledgeable and kindly recommended some great places to eat. However, on festival days, many dining spots are closed, and there were lines at the open restaurants, so it was a good decision to eat right after we arrived. I also enjoyed walking around the old streets of Takayama. The itinerary helped us avoid traffic, allowing us to have a smooth day. Thank you very much.

お天気も良く、大変良い1日となりました。白川郷では年に一回のどぶろく祭りがあり、知らなかったのでガイドさんに教えてもらえてよかったです。ガイドさんはよくご存知でオススメのお店を教えてくれたり、とても親切でした。ただ、お祭りの日は食事場所がおやすみのところも多く、空いているお店に列ができていましたので、食事は到着後すぐにとって正解でした。高山も古い街並みの街歩きを楽しめました。渋滞を回避する工程にしてくださり、順調に1日終えることができました。ありがとうございました。

I just wanted to confirm the meeting place, but I was annoyed that I had to pay for the call on the navigation dial. There were many spots that looked great for photos, but when I was on my own, I found myself with a lot of free time during the free activities. On the bus, the sunlight was harsh coming from the right on the way there and from the left on the way back. I was sitting right in the middle of the curtain, so the person in front didn’t close it for me, and neither did the person behind me, which was tough.

集合場所確認したかっただけなのに電話したらナビダイヤルで通話料取られるのが腹立った。
写真映えはする場所が多かったが1人だと自由行動の時結構時間を持て余した。
バスは行きは右から、帰り左からの日差しがきつかった。ちょうどカーテンの真ん中の席だったので前の人はこっちまで閉めてくれないし後ろの人も閉めてくれずつらかった。

I participated in this tour because I wanted to explore the island smoothly during my honeymoon.

I was worried about whether there would be something I could eat for lunch, but it was very delicious, and I finished it in no time! The champuru was the best I had on this trip.

The drivers of the bus, boat, and water buffalo were all very entertaining, and I really felt that joining this tour was a great decision.

We chose to bike around Taketomi Island, but even with our confidence in reading maps, we got lost, so it might be better to head back a little earlier. We were able to ride around the sea and the Nishi Sanzan Bridge, and we also enjoyed a mango smoothie in the center, so choosing to bike was definitely the right choice!

新婚旅行で、島をスムーズに巡りたくて
参加しましました。

お弁当は食べれるものがあるか不安でしたが、とても美味しく一瞬で完食してしまいました！
チャンプルーが今回の旅で一番美味しかったです。

バス、船、水牛いずれの運転手さんもお話がとても楽しくてツアーにして本当によかったと思いました。

竹富島は自転車コースにしましたが、地図に自身のある私達でも迷ったので、少し早めに帰路についたほうがいいかもしれません。海や西桟橋を廻り、中心でマンゴースムージーも飲めたので、自転車にして正解でした！

There were more foreign visitors than I expected, and the guide spoke to me in Chinese at the meeting point. However, they quickly remembered my face and spoke to me in Japanese from then on.
The explanations on the bus were in Japanese → Chinese → Korean (audio) → English (audio).
One positive aspect was that before arriving at the sightseeing spots, they provided a map and distributed a sheet with the participants' languages, explaining each group one by one. They kindly explained in Japanese how long it would take to walk this far, that it would take time during the holiday, and suggested that it might be better to go ahead.
When I was waiting in line for a crowded restroom, they helped me by saying, "It’s a bit of a walk, but the restroom over there is available and clean!"
There was traffic, so we returned later than expected, but I was very satisfied. Both the guide and the driver were really pleasant.

思った以上に外国の方が多く、集合場所でガイドさんに声をかけられたのが中国語でした。ですが、すぐに顔を覚えて頂いて、それ以降は日本語で話しかけらました。
バス内での説明は、日本語→中国語→韓国語(音声)→英語(音声)です。
良かった点は、観光地到着前に地図をくれるのですが、参加者の使用言語の用紙を配りながら一組ずつ説明して下さいます。ここまで歩くと何分かかります、連休中で時間がかかりますのでこちらから先に回った方が良いと思います等、日本語で丁寧に説明してくれました。
混んでいるトイレに並んでいる時、少し歩きますがあちらのトイレが空いていてキレイですよ！と教えて頂いて助かりました。
渋滞があったので、最終的に戻って来た時間は遅くなりましたが、とても満足できました。
ガイドさんも運転手さんも本当に感じが良かったです。

Usually, I tour by rental car or my own car, but this was my first time on a sightseeing bus tour, and it was an affordable and fun day. There was traffic due to the holiday, but since I wasn't driving, I was able to enjoy the scenery and have conversations with my wife.
I will use this service again.
Thank you to the bus driver and the guide.

普段は、レンタカーや自家用車で観光するのですが観光バスでのツアーは初めてで料金も安く楽しい1日でした。連休で車も渋滞してましたが運転をしないので景色を見ながら妻と会話が出来ました。
また、利用させていただきます。
バスの運転手さん、ガイドさん、ありがとうございます。

I was planning to wrap up my last day in Okinawa with a tour and then head straight to the airport, but… I was told that since it was the first day of a three-day weekend and a festival, I might not be able to return on time, which was concerning. However, they offered various consultations and gave me advice.

In the end, I decided to leave the tour at the last sightseeing spot, the Churaumi Aquarium, and took a shuttle bus to the airport, successfully finishing my trip!

Even though I had to get off partway, it turned out to be a very enjoyable time. Thank you so much!!

沖縄最終日をツアーで締めくくり、そのまま飛行機で帰る予定でしたが…
その日は三連休初日とお祭りが重なってるので時間通りに帰ってこれないかもしれないと言われ困っていると、いろいろ相談に乗ってくれ、アドバイスもしてくれました。
結局、最後の見学地の美ら海水族館でツアーを離脱しシャトルバスで空港まで行き、無事に旅行を終わらせることができました!

途中で降りることになってしまいましたが、とても楽しい時間になりました。
本当にありがとうございました!!

On the day of our trip, there was an incident with part of the highway being closed, requiring a detour. However, our driver suggested an efficient route so we could make the most of our limited time. Even during the busy lunch hour, we were able to enjoy delicious soba smoothly thanks to the recommendation of a hidden gem restaurant!

On our way back to Kanazawa city, our conversations led to many recommendations from the driver, making it a thoroughly satisfying trip for the whole family. Although the tour started with bad weather, we had a fantastic time, and I truly appreciate it. I would love to use this service again!

Our driver also recommended Kawanura for sweet red bean paste and Moroe-ya for traditional Japanese sweets, which we visited the next day! We were able to buy delicious souvenirs. Thank you very much!

当日は高速道路が一部通行止めで迂回というアクシデントもありましたが、限られた時間で精一杯楽しめるよう、ドライバーさんが効率的な回り方を提案して下さりました。
混み合うお昼の時間帯も、穴場のお店を教えていただけてスムーズに美味しいお蕎麦をいただくことができました！
また金沢市内に戻る道中の私たちの話から、オススメをいくつも紹介していただき、家族一同大満足の旅行になりました。荒天にはじまったツアーでしたが、めいっぱい楽しませて頂き本当にありがとうございました。
また利用したいです！


ドライバーさん、おすすめして頂いた甘納豆のかわむらさんや、落雁の諸江屋さん、翌日回れました！美味しいお土産を買えました。ありがとうございました！

Cycling after 20 to 30 years was fun, but it was disappointing that the roads were confusing and I couldn't get to Star Sand Beach. I also didn't have enough time at the café to enjoy sweets, only having juice instead, which was a letdown.

20〜30年ぶりのサイクリングは、楽しかったけれど、道がわかりにくくて、星砂のビーチに行けなくて残念でした
時間が、足りなくてカフェではジュースのみでスイーツを頂く時間がなくて残念でした
