All Reviews for Half-Day Tours

Even though it's a city, the bus passes through refreshing greenery.

With the guide's instructions, we were able to enjoy the scenery by turning right and left.

It was truly a delightful moment.

都会なのに爽やかな緑の中をバスが、通り抜けます。

ガイドさんの案内で、右向いたり、左向いたりと景色を堪能できました。

本当に楽しいひとときでした。

I thought the half-day tour with four stops would be quite hard, but I was able to visit all the places. To be honest, I wanted to take my time and look at each one slowly, but at the last market, I only had time to eat and couldn't explore much.

However, I appreciated that there were three options for returning: staying at the market to sightsee as much as I wanted, getting off at the clock tower to continue sightseeing, or returning to the meeting point.

半日ツアーで4箇所とかなりハードかなと思いましたが、一通り廻ることができました。
ひとつひとつゆっくりと見たかったというのは、本音ですが、最後の市場も食べる時間しかなくいろいろ廻ることは、できませんでした。

でも選択で市場で残って好きなだけ観光する、
または、時計台で降りて観光を続ける、
集合地に帰るの3つの帰り方ができたのは、良かったと思います。

It was my first trip to Ishigaki Island.
Although it was during the rainy season, we were blessed with great weather, making for the best snorkeling experience.
Initially, I had booked a tour that included a morning visit to the Phantom Island and an afternoon at Taketomi, but due to the tides, the schedule was changed to Taketomi in the morning and Phantom Island in the afternoon.
Since the ferry times to Taketomi Island were fixed, we felt a bit rushed while exploring the island.
The snorkeling allowed us to see many tropical fish, and the staff even filmed underwater videos for us.
Phantom Island was truly beautiful, and I was amazed by it. It’s no wonder it’s used for commercial filming.
The staff were very friendly and flexible with the itinerary to ensure we had the best experience, allowing us to have a very enjoyable time.

初めての石垣島旅行でした。
梅雨期でしたが、お天気に恵まれて最高のシュノーケリングになりました。
当初、午前に幻の島・午後に竹富の予定のツアーで申込していましたが、潮の関係で午前竹富・午後幻の島に変更になりました。
竹富島へは往復のフェリーの時間が決まってしまったので、島内は少しバタバタと見てまわった感じでした。
シュノーケリングはたくさんの熱帯魚が見れたし、スタッフさんが水中のビデオも撮ってくれていました。
幻の島は本当にキレイでびっくりしました。CM撮影等に使用されるというのも納得でした。
スタッフさん達はとてもフレンドリーで、ベストな体験が出来るよう、行程も臨機応変の対応して頂いて、とても楽しい時間が過ごせました。

It was cloudy that day, but the water was clear and beautiful, allowing us to see many fish and corals! Despite it being a weekday, there were a lot of people participating, and I thought it was great that the guide checked everyone's condition while leading the tour! The information the guide shared about Ishigaki Island was also very interesting, including recommendations for local restaurants that only locals might know! I truly hope everyone will participate!

この日は曇りだったのですが、海の透明度が高く綺麗で、魚やサンゴをたくさん見ることができました！！
平日にもかかわらず沢山の人が参加されていて、ガイドさんがみなさんの体調を確認しながらガイドされていたのが、良かったと思いました！！
ガイドさんの石垣島の情報もとても興味深く、現地の人しか知らないようなご飯屋さんの情報なども教えてくださいました！
みなさんもぜひ参加してほしいと心から思います！！！

You can efficiently explore Sapporo city in a short time. However, there simply isn't enough time at any of the tourist spots. I was looking forward to the Shiroi Koibito Park, but I only had less than 30 minutes there. I had to line up at the register to buy Shiroi Koibito, and I didn't have enough time to finish even half of my ice cream. The Okurayama Jump is all separate fees. Here too, I had to line up to buy tickets, then take the lift up the mountain and turn back.

At the Sapporo Outer Market, I couldn't eat crab or anything due to my shellfish allergy. When I was looking for a place to eat grilled fish, the bus guide laughed at me. They said, "Grilled fish here?" I don't want to hear that from you!

短時間で効率よく札幌市内観光できます。
ただとにかくどこの観光場所も時間なさすぎ。楽しみにしていた白い恋人パークも30分足らず。白い恋人を買うためレジに並び、アイスは時間がなくて半分くらいしか食べられなかった。大倉山のジャンプなどは全て別料金。ここもチケット買うのに並び、リフトで山に上がってUターンしてくる感じ。
札幌場外市場で食事は、甲殻類アレルギーの私にカニなどは食べられない。
焼き魚でも食べようとしてお店探してたら、バスガイドさんに鼻で笑われた。
ここで焼き魚ってだそうです。あなたに言われたくありません！

I used this half-day bus tour to wrap up my trip to Hokkaido. The seafood at Sapporo's Outer Market was delicious. I would like to use it again.

北海道旅行の締めにこの半日バスツアーを利用しました。
札幌場外市場の海鮮料理はうまかったです。
また利用したいです。

Good trip if no raining. But with rain it's not good. That's all. The recording should be synchronised. The descriptions in English should be more discriptive.

I signed up for a half-day tour to visit two places, and I was able to be dropped off at the airport. I hadn't researched the stops in advance, but at Sefa Utaki, there was an explanatory video before entering, and thanks to the local guide at the Gangala Valley, I was able to fully enjoy the experience. As others have mentioned, I recommend bringing insect repellent spray before participating.

半日で2箇所観光、空港で降ろしてもらえるということで申し込みました。
立ち寄り場所について事前によく調べていませんでしたが、斎場御嶽では入場前に説明VTRがあり、ガンガラーの谷では現地ガイドさんのおかげで充分満喫できました。
他の方も書かれていましたが、参加前に虫除けスプレーをおすすめします。

The guide at the Gangala Valley was interesting and very good. They also provided insect repellent spray and tea.

At the Sefa Utaki, most of the people on the bus tour were purchasing tickets, so I thought it would have been better if they sold tickets on the bus in advance.

ガンガラーの谷のガイドさんは話もおもしろくとても良かったです。
虫除けスプレーやお茶も用意されていました。

斎場御嶽はバスツアーの人達がほとんど購入するため入場券を買うのに並ぶので、事前にバスの中で販売してくれたら良かったと思いました。

I visited the southern region for sightseeing. 1. Can I return to the airport by rental car for my flight home? → It was reserved since time management was in place. 2. During the bus ride, there was a lot of information provided, and the guidance through the window made it feel like I was sightseeing three times as much. 3. The advice on how to spend time in each sightseeing area, such as where to go first and what to eat here, was nice. The guide was bright and full of stories, which was great.

南部地区の観光でした。1.帰りの飛行機に　レンタカーで戻ってこれるか？→時間管理されてるので　予約でした
2.バスでの移動中　沢山の情報提供　車窓でのご案内　3倍観光した感じでした。3.各観光エリアでの　過ごし方　先に行くべき所など　此処でこれを食べるなどのアドバイスもナイスでした。
明るくて　お話豊富で　良かったです。

Unfortunately, it was rainy at the Sefa Utaki, but the Gangala Valley was better than I expected. The guide was also very attentive and I recommend it.

斎場御嶽はあいにくの雨で残念でしたが、
ガンガラーの谷は思った以上に良かった。
ガイドも丁寧でおすすめです。

Trekking in the rain was challenging, but thanks to the rain, we were able to see beautiful scenery. It was a lot of fun trekking while receiving tips on how to walk from the guide and listening to various stories.

雨天でのトレッキングとなり、大変でしたが、
雨のお陰で、綺麗な風景が見れました。
ガイドさんに、歩き方のコツを教えていただいたり、色々な話を聞きながらのトレッキングはとても楽しかったです。

The weather was wonderful, with a refreshing breeze. I was surprised at how close the road was, just as the warning advised not to reach out while driving. Listening to the guide's explanations of the tourist attractions made for a quick yet enjoyable experience. It was so much fun that I couldn't help but cheer when entering the water from the land. I think the scenery during the cherry blossom season in spring is also lovely. It was very good.

お天気にも恵まれて、爽やかな風
道路走行中は手を出さないようにとの注意のとおり道路が近くて驚いた。
ガイドさんの観光名所の案内を聞きながら、あっという間の体験でした。
陸から水に入る時はおもわず歓声をあげるほど楽しかったです。
春の桜の季節も景観が素敵だと思う
とても良かったです。

Some areas are off-limits. "Seifa Utaki requires an additional fee of 300 yen."
The Eisa performance is wonderful. There is no announcement from the tour guide, so please check the showtimes in advance and make sure to see it.

一部立ち入り禁止になってます。「せいふぁうたきは別料金で300円必要｡」
エイサーは素晴らしいです。添乗員さんのアナウンスはないので事前にショーの時間を調べ是非見て下さい｡

The weather was great, and the forest bathing and power spot feeling at Hokkaido Jingu was fantastic. At the Okurayama Jump Stadium, it was wonderful to see the athletes jump, with Sapporo's Odori Park appearing to connect as if it were the landing point.

天気に恵まれましたが、北海道神宮の森林浴とパワースポット感が最高でした。 大倉山ジャンプ競技場では、選手たちがジャンプしたその先には札幌の大通り公園がまるで着地地点のように繋がる光景がステキでした。

The guide provided a lot of explanations about the fish and even took pictures of sea cucumbers while diving! All the photos turned out great! Thank you!

ガイドさんがお魚の説明など沢山してくれたり、潜ってナマコを撮ってくれたりしました！
写真もいい写真ばかり！
ありがとうございました！

The Okinawa show, which is hard to see, and the long cave! I was also moved by the natural beauty of the Sefa Utaki and the sacred mountain, and the sea was truly beautiful!

なかなか見ることの出来ない沖縄のショーと、長い洞窟！また斎場御獄も自然と神の山に感動、さらに海が本当美しかったです！

The view from Taiko Rock was amazing. It was very enjoyable to walk slowly while talking about animals and plants. I was worried about being able to walk since I went to Jomon Sugi the day before, but I was able to walk comfortably.

太鼓岩からの景色は最高でした。動物や植物の話をしながらゆっくり歩けてとても楽しかったです。前日縄文杉までいったので歩けるか不安でしたが、気持ちよく歩くことができました。

The first stop on the tour, Sefa Utaki, was my second visit as I had been there during a previous trip to Okinawa. It gives off an impression of a mystical and sacred place. I visited Miibaru Beach for the first time, and it seems to be a hidden gem that even locals don't know much about. The water is crystal clear and quite spacious, making it enjoyable for a stroll. It seems they also operate glass-bottom boats, so if you sign up, you can see tropical fish as well.

ツアーの最初にある斎場御嶽は、以前沖縄を旅行した時に訪れたので、二度目でした。神秘的な聖なる場所という印象です。みーばるビーチは、初めてでしたが地元の人もあまり知らない穴場のようです。海が透き通っていて結構広いので散策を楽しめます。グラスボートも経営しているようなので申し込めば、熱帯魚を見ることも出来てるようです。

I participated in the sacred site of Saijō-ō-take and the Valley of Gangala!

At Saijō-ō-take, I had the precious and mystical experience of stepping into a sacred place of nature. I strongly recommend exploring it with a solemn and humble heart, filled with gratitude, rather than just a touristy mindset.

The Valley of Gangala, on the other hand, I joined with a light-hearted expectation of walking through Okinawa's lush forests, but it turned out to be an absolutely amazing tour that far exceeded my expectations!

The guide provided extremely detailed and easy-to-understand explanations mixed with humor, allowing all participants to learn and be overwhelmed by the incredible mysteries of nature from ancient times!

If Indiana Jones were here, he would surely be thrilled to visit the Valley of Gangala regularly (laughs).

It's a half-day schedule from morning to early afternoon, and since it also stops by Naha Airport on the way back, I recommend it for those with a half-day plan or on the last day of their trip!

I'm really glad I participated!! I will definitely repeat it next time!

私は斎場御嶽とガンガラーの谷に参加させていただきました！

斎場御嶽は大自然の聖なる地に足を踏み入れることができる貴重な神秘的体験が出来ました。
できましたら観光的な物見遊山的な感覚ではなく、厳かで謙虚な心と感謝の気持ちで散策されることを強くオススメ致します。

もう一つのガンガラーの谷は、タイトルや画像から沖縄の自然豊かな森林を歩く〜といったような軽い気持ちで参加させて頂きましたが、想定を遥かに越えた最高に素晴らしいツアーでした！

ガイドさんの非常に丁寧でわかりやすいユーモア交じりの解説や案内で参加者が皆唸るほど学べて、太古からの驚くほどの大自然の神秘に圧倒されました！

インディ・ジョーンズが居たら大喜びでガンガラーの谷に通うでしょうね（笑）


朝から昼過ぎの半日スケジュールですし、帰りは那覇空港にも立ち寄りますので、半日予定や旅行最終日の方にもオススメです！

本当に参加して良かったです！！
次回も必ずリピートします！

I'm glad I was able to listen to the guide's talk. I enjoyed visiting the sacred places in Okinawa and exploring Miibaru Beach.

ガイドさんのお話を聞くことが出来て良かったです。沖縄の神聖な場所を見学できたり、みーばるビーチ散策楽しめました。

During the bus ride, I was able to learn about Okinawa's lifestyle and history while listening to the guide's entertaining stories. It was great to efficiently visit two locations in half a day.

At the Valley of Gangala, we were able to enjoy sanpin tea in a tumbler (which had quite a bit) before departure, allowing us to stay hydrated during the tour. The local guide was full of energy, making the experience very enjoyable. Both places exceeded my expectations.

However, you do need to walk at both locations, and depending on the weather, the footing can be poor, so sneakers are recommended. Additionally, since the Valley of Gangala is in the forest, it's best to wear clothing that covers your arms and legs, as there are many mosquitoes. The staff provided us with some insect repellent gel, but we were glad we brought our own insect repellent spray to use before and during the tour, as many people were getting bitten.

バスの移動中、ガイドさんの楽しい話を聞きながら、沖縄の生活や歴史を知ることができました。半日で２箇所を効率的に回れてよかったです。

ガンガラーの谷では、出発前にさんぴん茶をタンブラー(結構、量があります)で頂くことができ、ツアー中に水分補給ができます。現地のガイドの方は元気いっぱいで、とても楽しく回れます。どちらも期待以上の場所でした。

但し、どちらも歩きますし、天気によっては足場が悪い場合もあるので、スニーカーがおすすめです。
またガンガラーの谷は森の中なので、蚊が多く、手足を出さない服装が良いかと思います。スタッフから虫除けジェルを少し分けていただけますが、私たちは虫除けスプレーを持参して、ツアー前ツアー中に使用して正解でした。噛まれていた方が多かったです。

The duration of stay at each location was just right, allowing for a relaxed sightseeing experience. Additionally, the headphones for the onboard guide were very clear and innovative.

一箇所の滞在時間の設定がちょうどよく、余裕を持って観光することができました。また車内の案内ガイドのヘッドフォンが、よくわかり画期的でした。

Due to the rain, we gave up on entering the Cypher Otaki, but the Gangara Valley was a truly wonderful place that left a lasting impression. The guide was very knowledgeable and provided clear explanations.

雨でサイファーオタキは、中に入るにを断念しましたが、ガンガラの谷はとても素晴らしいところで心に残りました。ガイドさんがとても物知りで説明が分かりやすかった。

It was unfortunately rainy. The plan was supposed to be great, but the rain lowered our overall experience. We had to give up on visiting Sefa Utaki since we had young children with us, but it was nice to enjoy freshly made sata andagi and mozuku tempura at the local product fair. There was also a museum, so we easily spent an hour there.

At Okinawa World, we had to use umbrellas to move around the facility, but since the limestone cave is underground, we could explore without getting wet, which was great. The Eisa show and habu show were also held in a place where a large number of people could watch without getting wet, so it was a good experience.

Since I can't drive and was worried about car sickness, it was difficult to do a tour in the northern part. The weather forecast predicted rain, so it was perfect for our family, who were wondering what to do. The guide's stories were also very informative.

生憎の雨でした。プランは最高だったはずなんですが、雨で体感の評価は下がってしまいました。
斎場御嶽は幼児もいたので断念しましたが、物産展で出来たてサーターアンダギー、もずくの天ぷらが食べられてよかったです。資料館もあったので1時間は難なく潰せました。
沖縄わーるどは施設内の移動は傘でしたが、鍾乳洞は地下なので、雨で濡れる事なく見学が出来よかったです。エイサーショー、ハブショーも濡れずにかなりの人数が、同時に観覧出来る場所なのでいい経験ができました。
車を運転出来ない上に、車酔いが不安なため北部のツアーは難しい。
天気予報は雨で、何をしようかと思っていた我が家にはピッタリでした。ガイドさんのお話もためになりました。

It had been raining since midnight, and the guide explained that if the river was too high and we couldn't cross the stream, the tour might be canceled. So we decided to head to the site and started our journey. In the end, while the water level was a bit high, we were able to cross the stream, and gradually the weather improved. We made it to Taiko Rock, where we were able to see an incredibly beautiful view.

I was truly moved.

However, the sole of the rental shoes came off partway through, and while the guide provided a temporary fix, it was difficult to put pressure on my feet.

I was able to complete the tour thanks to our guide, Mr. Uranishi. I also want to thank the other participants in the tour. Thank you very much.

夜中から雨が降っていて、ガイドさんから川の水が多く、沢が渡らなかったら中止するかも、と説明され、とりあえず現地まで行ってみましょうとスタートしました。結局ちょっと増水はしてましたが、沢は渡れて、だんだん天気も回復し、太鼓岩まで行け、とてつもなく素晴らしい景色が見れました。
本当に感動です。
ただ、レンタルしたシューズの底が途中で取れてしまい、ガイドさんが応急処置してはくれましたが、足に力がうまく入らず大変でした。
ツアーを最後までやり切れたのはガイドの浦西さんのお陰です。あと、一緒に参加したツアーの方にも感謝です。ありがとうございました。

I visited Saijo-ji Temple and the Gangala Valley. Since I enjoy history and archaeology, I was able to appreciate both. Saijo-ji Temple has a solemn atmosphere, while the Gangala Valley sparks a sense of adventure. However, both places have many steps and uneven surfaces.

斎場御嶽+ガンガラーの谷に行きました。歴史や考古学が好きなので、どちらも楽しめました。斎場御嶽は厳粛な雰囲気で、ガンガラーの谷は冒険心をくすぐります。でもどちらも段差や階段が多いです。

Entering the Sefa Utaki, I experienced a mysterious sensation as if a bow was being plucked from deep within my head. It's a place I want to visit again and again. The Eisa performance at Okinawa World was also powerful and moving. The guide's explanations were enjoyable and educational.

斎場御嶽に入ると頭の奥から弓を弾く様な音がして不思議な神秘的な経験をしました。また何度でも訪れたい場所です。
沖縄ワールドのエイサーも迫力があって心揺さぶられました
ガイドさんの説明も楽しく勉強させてもらいました。

I took a Thai family who came to Japan to see the cherry blossoms on the Skytree course. They were thrilled the whole time as we explored the course filled with cherry blossoms. I had the impression that there would be mostly foreign guests, but I was surprised to find that it was mostly Japanese people. Next time, I would like to enjoy the Odaiba course.

桜を見に日本に来たタイ人ファミリーを連れてスカイツリーコースを回らせてもらいました。
桜いっぱいのコースを回ってくれて、タイ人ファミリーも終始テンション上がっていました。
外国人のお客さんばかりのイメージでしたが、実際は日本人ばっかりでびっくりしました。
時間はお台場コースを楽しんでみたいです。

Great tour great organization! Highly recommended. The temples were beautiful. Just follow the instructions in the morning and will go swimmingly. It was a last minute booking and worked so well for me! Thanks
