All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

I had read reviews in advance mentioning the large number of Chinese participants and the unfriendliness of the guides, but I thought it would be fine as long as I could use it as a means of transportation. However, on the day of the tour, about 20-30% of the participants were Japanese, and the guide provided explanations in Japanese to Chinese very kindly.

The activity itself felt quite busy, moving from one great spot in Hokkaido to another, leaving little time to relax and take in the sights. However, it was the perfect plan for my greedy desire to visit various places little by little!

There were also Chinese and Korean participants, but their manners were good, and there was no excessive noise.

事前に口コミ見て、中国人の多さ、ガイドの不親切さについて言及があった上で、移動手段として利用できればいいと考えておりましたが、当日は日本人2-3割ほどの参加で、ガイドの方は日本語→中国語の説明を丁寧にしてくださいました。

アクティビティ自体は中々に忙しない感じで次から次に北海道の良いところを廻っていく感じでゆったり見ている時間はありませんでしたが、色んな所を少しづつ回りたい！という欲張りな自分にピッタリのプランでした。

中国人、韓国人の方々もいましたが、マナーは良く話し声がうるさいなども特になかったです。

I participated in this tour hoping to create memories of my trip to Okinawa. There were many sightseeing spots I wanted to visit, but since I’m not confident in driving, I thought it was very appealing to be able to explore Okinawa's attractions on a bus tour, so I signed up. At the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, I was able to see whale sharks, and at Pineapple Park, I learned about the charm of pineapples. Additionally, the view of the ocean from Kouri Bridge was breathtaking and moving. I really had a great time. The bus guide was also very kind and had a wonderful smile! Thank you very much.

沖縄旅行の思い出になればと思いこのツアーに参加させてもらいました。行きたい観光名所がたくさんあったのですが私は運転に自信がないので、バスツアーで沖縄の観光地を巡ることができるのはとても魅力的だと思ったので、申し込みをさせてもらいました。美海水族館でジンベイザメを見る方ができ、パイナップルパークではパイナップルの魅力を知ることができました。また、古宇利橋の上から見る海は絶景で感動的でした。ほんとに楽しかったです。
バスガイドさんも親切な方で、笑顔が素敵でした！
ありがとうございました。

Since none of my friends can drive, we decided to book a bus tour for the first time! It was so much fun to visit various places. Since it was forecasted to rain, the bus tour focused on places where we could still enjoy ourselves even in the rain, which was great. The Pineapple Park surprisingly had content that adults could enjoy too, and I was happy there were plenty of tastings for alcohol and snacks! The tour guide was friendly and easy to talk to. We were considering giving up on visiting the Churaumi Aquarium because it was far, but I’m glad we could go this time with the bus tour.

友達4人とも車が運転出来ないので今回バスツアーを初めて予約しました！
色んなところを回れてすごく楽しかったです。
雨予報だったので雨でも楽しめるところ中心のバスツアーですごくよかったです。
パイナップルパークは意外と大人も楽しめる内容でお酒やお菓子の試食もたくさんあったのが嬉しかったです！
搭乗員さんも気さくな方でお話も聞きやすかったです。
美ら海水族館は遠いため諦めようとしていましたが今回バスツアーで行けてよかったです。

The smooth operation made it very satisfying even when going alone! Since my stay in Taketomi was a bit short, I think it's better for those who want to fully enjoy it to go individually.

スムーズな運行により、一人で行っても大満足でした！竹富の滞在がちょっと短かったので、満喫したい人は個人で行った方がいいと思います

It was different from what I had expected (which I found to be good), and it was compact and interesting due to its tourist-friendly nature. The food was also good.

自分が予想していた物と違い（自分的には良かった）、観光化されてコンパクトで面白かった。食事も良かった。

The most memorable part was Kote-kun! He stopped right where the customers could safely get off. But he was distracted by his crush, Koume-chan, and kept turning around while pulling the cart. So cute! He should muster up the courage and confess (laughs). I wonder if he's working energetically today. I want to go see him again. I also got to listen to the sanshin, and the lunch in Yufuin was delicious. Since then, I've become hooked on the oil miso and even bought some as souvenirs, which made my bag heavy (laughs). Since I had an elderly companion, we took the bus around Taketomi. It was a bit of a hectic trip, but I was able to truly experience Okinawa.

一番印象に残ったのはこてつくんです!　お客さんが安全に降りられる所にきちんと止まってくれました。だけど好きな子(コウメちゃん)が気になって、振り向き振り向き牛車を引いていましたね。かわいい。勇気だして告ったほうがいいよ(笑)　今日も元気に働いているのかな。また会いに行きたいな。三線も聞けて、由布の昼食も美味しかった。あれから油味噌のとりこになり、お土産まで買って重い重い(笑)　高齢者の連れがいたので、竹富はバス移動にしました。ちょっと慌ただしい旅でしたが、沖縄を肌で感じることができました。

As others have mentioned in their experiences, the guide is Chinese, and two-thirds of the participants are foreigners. As long as you keep that in mind, I was satisfied with the tour content.

他の方が体験談に記載してあるとおり、
ガイドさんは中国人の方ですし、参加者の2/3は外国人の方です。
そこさえ、頭に入っていればツアー内容的には
満足でした。

It was great to be taken around by bus since it's not easy to go on my own. I appreciated that the morning wasn't too early, and the lunch was delicious.

個人ではなかなか行きにくいのでバスで色々連れてって貰えてよかった。朝があまり早くないのが良かったし、ランチも美味しかった。

I quickly booked this tour because the weather forecast predicted rain!

Pineapple Park
I thought it was mainly for kids, but surprisingly, adults can enjoy it too! There were mysteriously elaborate exhibits of dinosaurs and insects. I was satisfied with the tasting samples available at the souvenir corner!

Kouri Island
There was a beach where I could see the beautiful sea up close. I had already experienced Chura SUN Beach, but the sea here had a rocky feel and the scent of the sea breeze was different. The quality of the sand was fine, so it seemed fine to walk barefoot!

Churaumi Aquarium
It was a major highlight of my Okinawa trip, so I was really looking forward to it! The large tanks were impressive, and the exhibits were so well done that I could enjoy myself without getting bored!

天気予報が雨だったので急遽こちらのツアーを予約させていただきました！

パイナップルパーク
子ども向けかと思いましたが、意外と大人でも楽しめました！
謎に恐竜や昆虫の展示があり凝っていました。
お土産コーナーでは試食もできて満足でした！

古宇利島
ビーチがあり、綺麗な海を間近で見ることができました。
美らSUNビーチの方を先に体験していたのですが
こちらの海は磯っぽさがあり潮風の香りも違っていました。
砂浜の質は細かく裸足でも問題なさそうでした！

美ら海水族館
沖縄旅行の大きな目玉なのでとても楽しみでした！
大きな水槽はもちろん展示も凝っていて飽きずに楽しむことができました！

The guide's explanations were enjoyable and easy to understand, making for a fun sightseeing experience. Despite the heat, the time flew by and was very satisfying. Thank you for taking photos with my husband.

ガイドさんの説明が楽しく分かりやすく笑顔で楽しい観光でした。暑い中あっという間の満足な時間でした。主人との写真を撮って下さりありがとうございました。

I joined this tour that allows you to visit three islands because I wanted to travel alone to various places. I noticed many people were traveling solo as well, and since there wasn't much interaction with other groups, I was able to relax comfortably.

Before departure, you receive an explanation and your ticket at the counter inside the island terminal. The tickets are collected each time, so be careful not to lose them. The explanation was thorough, leaving no room for confusion.

The ferry has free seating, and of course, the window seats fill up first. Everything runs on time, so as long as you make it, you won't be left behind, but arriving early will get you better seats.

During the sightseeing tour of Iriomote Island, I learned various things about the island while enjoying fun stories. I was lucky enough to see a crested serpent eagle. It's said that the Iriomote wildcat is nocturnal and rarely seen. Personally, I enjoyed the mangrove tour as well, but the bus tour to Yubu Island after the sightseeing was also fun. The driver's stories were entertaining.

On Yubu Island, we moved around on water buffaloes. There were fast and slow ones, so which one you ride is a matter of luck. The front seat offers a great view of the buffalo, but be careful as there might be splashes during their bathroom breaks. You can take a photo with Rui, the only water buffalo you can interact with on the island. You can buy a small free photo or a nice paid one. The lunch on this island was delicious, like a bento box. After that, we had a little free time, rode the water buffalo again, took the bus, and then the boat.

On Taketomi Island, I had free time as per the plan I signed up for. It was a free walk plan, but it takes about 10 minutes to walk to the entrance of the village, which isn't too far. I enjoyed the free walk to Nishizaki Pier. It might be tough at Hoshi no Sunahama, but the pier offered a beautiful view of the sea.

After that, I took the ferry at my preferred time back to the island terminal. It was a very enjoyable day.

一人旅でいろんなところに行きたかったため、3つの島を巡れるこのツアーに参加しました。
1人参加の方も多く見られ、特に他のグループと関わって何かすることもなかったのでとても気軽に過ごせました。

出発前に離島ターミナル内のカウンターで説明とチケットを受け取ります。チケットは都度回収されるので無くさないように。説明は充分にされ、不明点がないほどしっかりされました。

フェリーは自由席。やはり窓側から埋まります。時間ぴったりに全て旅の計画は進むので間に合えば置いていかれることはない、けど早い方がいい席は取れます。

西表島の遊覧では楽しい話とともに西表島の様々なことが知れます。運良くカンムリワシ見れました。イリオモテヤマネコは夜行性で見れることはほぼないそう。私的にはマングローブツアーも楽しかったですが、遊覧降りてから由布島までのバス観光もたのしかったです。運転手さんの話がおもしろい。

由布島では水牛にのって移動。早い子、遅い子様々でどの子に乗れるかは運次第。1番前の席は見渡せ、牛がしっかり見えますが、排泄シーンでは水が飛ぶことがあるので注意。
由布島では唯一触れ合える水牛のルイくんと写真撮れます。無料の小さな写真と有料の立派な写真が買えたり。この島で昼食、お弁当見たいなごはんで美味しかったです。その後はすこし自由時間をとり、また水牛にのり、バスに乗り、船に乗り。

竹富島では申し込んだプランでフリータイム。
フリーウォークのプランでしたが、集落の入り口までは歩いて10分ほど。そんなに遠くないです。
西桟橋までならフリーウォークで十分楽しめました。星の砂の浜だと厳しいかもしれませんが、桟橋でもとってもきれいな海を見れました。

その後は好きな時間のフェリーにのり、離島ターミナルへ。とっても楽しい1日でした。

This quality at this price is quite wonderful✨
I was able to enjoy a fantastic dance performance for the first time during dinner.
Thanks to this, I was able to fully enjoy Okinawa(^^)

この値段でこのクオリティ
なかなか素晴らしい✨
夕食もうらしまで、素晴らしい舞踊を
はじめてみさせていただきました。
おかげさまで

沖縄満喫出来ました(^^)

It was an unusually record-breaking heavy rain on the day, but I enjoyed the guidance inside the car. Due to the heavy rain, I couldn't fully enjoy the stops, but the guide and driver were considerate. I think the tour content was good.

Since the stay time was short, if there are people who don't keep to the schedule, it can throw off the plans.

当日は異例の記録的豪雨でしたが、車内での案内が楽しめました。豪雨で、立ち寄り処では十分に楽しめませんでしたが、ガイドさん運転手さんの気遣いがありました。ツアーの内容は良いと思います。

滞在時間が短いので、時間を守らない人がいると、予定がずれてきます。

This is a great deal!
You can visit various tourist attractions on a day trip bus.
Since there are no trains or public transportation in the area, it's a blessing for my friend and me, who don't have a driver's license.

To all the tourists considering this,
the schedule will be tight, so please listen carefully to the bus guide's announcements and act quickly.
If you're late, it will inconvenience others on the same tour.
You can take a nap on the bus during the journey, so bringing a neck pillow will make it more comfortable.

これは、お得です！
観光名所の数々を、日帰りバスで、まわってくれます。
電車・交通機関がない場所なので、運転免許の無い私と友達にとって、ありがたい話です。

ご検討中の観光客の皆さんへ
タイトなスケジュールになるので、バスガイドさんのアナウンスをよく聞き、すばやく行動してください。
時間に遅れると、同じツアーの人たちに、迷惑をかけます。
移動中のバス内では、仮眠できるので、首枕を持参すると、ラクです。

The crew members were kind, which was nice. Also, they were eating ice cream before the passengers. The Japanese was repeated once, but the Chinese was repeated about twice and was a bit long, which I found slightly concerning.

搭乗員の、方が、親切でよかった、てか、客より先にアイス食べてた、日本語は、1回だけど、中国語が、二回ぐらい繰り返して長かったのが少し気になったかな

It's not easy to reach this area by bus, but I was able to explore quite comfortably without stress. Since there were only a few participants, including the guide, it turned into a tour where we could all chat together, which was really nice.

なかなかこの地域までバスでいけないのですが、ストレスなくけっこうまわれました。参加人数が少なかったこともありガイドさんを含めて、皆さんと話しながらのツアーとなりかなり良かったです。

I had a great time on the first day! I'm glad I was able to visit many islands. The best part was traveling between the islands on a water buffalo! I want to go again.

1日目一杯楽しめました！たくさんの島を回れてよかったです。一番は水牛で島を行き来したのがよかったです！！また行きたいです

Most of the participants were from overseas. The Japanese participants returned to the bus on time, but I was surprised by the laxity of the overseas participants regarding time. As a result, the departure times from various locations were delayed, which gradually reduced our time to explore, and that was disappointing. I think the time to look around American Village was short.

The guide was from overseas and spoke broken Japanese, but they were very polite in assisting the customers, which was great.

ほとんどが海外の方でした。

I took the ropeway and was able to see Lake Toya and the ocean in a 360-degree view from the summit. You absolutely have to climb it!

After a bit of hiking, the view was amazing! It felt so good. I wasn't very familiar with the sightseeing around Sapporo, so I left everything to them, but they took me to various places and provided plenty of free time, which was great. The guide and the driver were also very kind. Thank you! ♪

ロープウェイに乗って山頂から洞爺湖と海360度見れました。絶対登るべきです！

少しハイキングして素晴らしい眺め！とても気持ち良かったです。
札幌の周りの観光あまり詳しくないので全てお任せでしたが、色々な所に連れて行ってくれて、フリーな時間も多くとても良かったです。
ガイドさんと運転手さんも優しい方たちでした。
ありがとうございました♪

I participated alone, but I had a great time. I love airplanes, so the content was very interesting and it flew by quickly. I want to go again.

1人で参加しましたがとても楽しめました。
飛行機が好きなのでとても興味深い内容であっという間でした。また行きたいです。

I always go to Okinawa, but this was my first time using a bus tour (^o^) The driver and the guide were very warm and always checked in with us, which made me feel secure participating in the tour. The guide was very kind, had a great personality, and was cheerful, which was wonderful! We visited the Churaumi Aquarium, Manzamo, Ryukyu Village, and Okashi Goten, finishing at Banta Cafe. If I had driven myself, I would have surely gotten tired from driving, but it was so relaxing to be gently swayed by the bus, and the time flew by. The Okinawan music during the ride was soothing and truly pleasant. Although the time was limited, I was very satisfied. My friends and I are already talking about wanting to use this service again next time! There are so many courses available, and I’m looking forward to the next one. Thank you for this time! I appreciate it and look forward to next time☆

沖縄にいつも行きますが、バスツアーは初めての利用でした(^o^)運転手さんとガイドさんがとっても温かくいつも声掛けして頂き安心してツアーに参加できました。ガイドさんはとても優しくお人柄が良くて明るい方で良かったです!美ら海水族館に万座毛、琉球村に御菓子御殿、締めはバンタカフェと自分で車移動だときっと運転疲れしてダウンしちゃいますが、ゆったりとバスに揺られてあっという間でした。移動中の沖縄音楽も癒やされて本当に心地良かったです。確かに時間は限られていますが十分満足でした。友達と次回また利用したいね〜と話しています!コースもたくさんあるし次回も楽しみにしています。今回はありがとうございました!またよろしくお願いします☆

It was a long journey, but thanks to the favorable weather, comfortable driving, and a friendly guide, I was able to fully enjoy the sightseeing spots. I didn't place much emphasis on lunch, but the cheese fondue was unexpectedly delicious and satisfying. Thank you very much.

長時間の行程でしたが、天候に恵まれ、快適な運転と親切なガイドのおかげで観光スポットを存分に楽しむことができました。
昼食を重視していませんでしたが、チーズフォンデュが予想以上に美味しく満足しました。
ありがとうございました。

The tour schedule felt a bit busy, but I was glad I could see various sights. The water buffalo cart ride, in particular, allowed for a relaxing time.

少しツアーのスケジュールが忙しく思えたが、色々と観光できたので良かった。特に水牛車は、ゆったりとした時間が過ごせた。

The guide's stories were very enjoyable, and they were also great at singing. The scenery was beautiful. I'm glad I participated.

ガイドさんのお話がとても楽しくて、歌もお上手でした。
景色もきれいでした。
参加して良かったです。

This time, there were about 25 people on an internationally diverse tour that included the United States, Taiwan, South Korea, Mexico, Canada, and three Japanese people, including myself. There were two guides; one was dedicated to South Korea, and the main guide skillfully alternated between English and Japanese, providing a wonderfully bright and lively experience. Once we arrived at the destination, the guide explained everything and acted as an excellent photographer, skillfully capturing everyone's moments. It seems that the quality of the tour largely depends on the guide.

今回は、25名程度でアメリカ、台湾、韓国、メキシコ?、カナダそして日本人は私を含めて3人で国際色豊かなツアーでした。ガイドさんは2名いて一人は韓国専属で付いて、メインのガイドさんは英語と日本語を交互に操り、見事としか言いようのない素晴らしい明るく軽快なガイドさんでした。現地に着いたら説明と名カメラマンで、とても上手に全員のシャッターを押していただきました。やはりツアーの良否はガイドさんに依るものが多いようですね。

I booked this tour because rain was in the forecast. In the end, it was sunny on the day of the tour, so I was able to enjoy the beautiful beach at Ocean Expo Park and the magnificent views at Manzamo! I think it would be enjoyable even in the rain, but the sunny weather allowed me to fully appreciate Okinawa! Also, the tour guide was very cheerful and kind, which made the tour even more enjoyable! Thank you very much!! However, I felt that the time spent at Ocean Expo Park (including the Churaumi Aquarium) was short, and if you want to take your time exploring the aquarium, there isn't enough time for lunch.

雨の予報だったので、このツアーを予約しました。結局当日は晴れたので、海洋博公園の綺麗なビーチや万座毛の雄大な景色を見ることができました！
雨でも楽しめるコースだとは思いますが、晴れだとより沖縄を満喫できました！
また、なんといっても添乗員さんがとても明るく、親切だったので、より楽しくツアーに参加することができました！ありがとうございました！！
ただ、海洋博公園(美ら海水族館など)の滞在時間が短く、水族館をゆっくりみる場合は昼食を食べる時間が取れないと感じました。

Unfortunately, it was rainy at Kouri Island and Manzamo, which was a bit disappointing. However, Manzamo really looked like an elephant's trunk, and it was interesting. The best part was American Village. It felt like experiencing a foreign atmosphere, and it was really great. The buildings were wonderful, like a different world.

Choosing the dinner plan with Sam's Steak was a good decision. They cooked the steak right in front of us, and it came with a performance, which was fun.

It became a great memory.

小宇利島と万座毛はあいにくの雨で、少し残念でした。でも万座毛は本当にゾウさんのお鼻にそっくりで、面白かったです。1番良かったのがアメリカンビレッジです。雰囲気が異国にいるみたいに体験できて凄く良かったです。別世界みたいで建物が凄く素敵でした。
サムズステーキの夕食付きプランを選んだのが良かったです。目の前でステーキを焼いてくれて、それもパフォーマンスつきで、面白かったです。
良い思い出になりました。

Personally, I found the time allocation just right. To conclude, the Nakama River cruise, which I had the least expectations for, turned out to be the best. The guide was wonderful, and we stopped to look for wild birds, sometimes even turning back. Additionally, the bus ride from Nakama River to Yufu Island was great, with the driver's talk about daily life and shopping on Iriomote Island being enjoyable. When we spotted a crested serpent eagle along the way, the bus stopped so we could take a good look, which was very satisfying. I think both the mangrove cruise and the bus ride were a hit thanks to the people involved. However, I had high expectations for the water buffalo cart to Yufu Island, and after riding it twice, I was disappointed both times. It was much smaller than I had imagined, and the talk was quite standard. The much-anticipated sanshin performance was also formal and didn't resonate with me. The water buffalo cart experience I had on Taketomi Island last time was much more satisfying. Overall, since this was my first time in Iriomote Island, I think it was a good tour. Next time, I want to participate in some activities.

個人的には程よい時間配分でちょうどよかったです。結論から言うと、一番期待していなかった仲間川クルーズが一番よかった。船頭さんの案内が素晴らしくマングローブは勿論、野鳥を探しては停まったり時には戻ったりしていただけました。また、仲間川から由布島までのバスも運転手さんのトークが最高で西表島の日常や買い物事情など楽しかったです。そして道中、カンムリワシを発見した時はバスを停車させてじっくり見させてもらえ大満足。マングローブクルーズもバスも人次第なので大当たりだったと思います。しかし、由布島へ渡る水牛車は大きな期待をしていただけに往復2回乗りますが、どちらもがっかりでした。想像していたスケールよりもかなり小さく、トークも定型的でした。期待の三線演奏もこれまた形式的で演奏が心に響くことはありませんでした。前回体験した竹富島の水牛車の方が内容はずっと満足出来るものでした。
今回は初めての西表島だったので総合的にはよいツアーだったと思います。次はアクティビティに参加したいです。

I was able to visit various places in one day! Since I don't have a driver's license, it was difficult to go far from Naha City, and I wanted to choose my own meals and visit Kouri Island, so I chose this tour! I was satisfied with how efficiently I could visit the places I wanted to go! The beach on Kouri Island was very beautiful, and everything was great, but I liked Pineapple Park the most because it was spacious and cute♡ Since it was a weekday, the tourist spots were less crowded than I expected, making it easy to see everything!

1日で色々巡れました！
免許を持っていないので那覇市周辺から離れるのが難しかったのと、ご飯は自分で選びたかったのと、古宇利島に行きたかったのでこちらのツアーを選びました！
行きたかったところを効率よく回れて満足です！
古宇利島のビーチはとても綺麗でしたし、
全部良かったですがパイナップルパークが広くて可愛らしくて1番気にいりました♡
平日だったこともあり観光地が思ったよりも混んでなくて見やすかったです！

Every place I visited was beautiful and healing. The hamburger and cheese fondue set for lunch was also very delicious. I want to visit again during the lavender season.

とにかく訪れる場所が全て美しく癒されました。
お昼のハンバーグとチーズフォンデュのセットもとても美味しかったです。
今度はラベンダーの季節に訪れたいです。
