All Reviews for Half-Day Tours

The day we rode was very windy, but it felt refreshing! I thoroughly enjoyed it with the guide's polite and lively explanations in the background. I want to ride again!

乗った日は強風でしたが気分爽快！
ガイドさんの丁寧で軽快な説明をバックに充分楽しめました。また乗りたい！

I'm glad I was able to visit various places in a short amount of time.

It would have been even better if there was a guide for comfortable walking shoes in the pamphlet. Fortunately, I happened to be wearing sneakers, so I was able to walk well.

短い時間であちこち回れてよかったです。

パンフレットに歩きやすい靴の案内があれば、更によかったです。
偶然にもスニーカーだったので、しっかり歩けました。

The morning is early, but I was able to do various sightseeing! I especially recommend the power spots! You can see mystical scenery!

朝は早いけど、いろんな観光ができました！
パワースポットが特におすすめです！神秘的な光景が見られます！

Although we do not understand Japanese, we can feel the hospitality of our tour guide. She sang us 3 Japanese songs and they were nice. The tour expense covers only the transportation cost but it is still value for money. The translation kit does not work.

I participated in the half-day tour that started early in the morning. I was satisfied to be able to visit the World Heritage Site, Sefa Utaki. While it felt like there might not be enough time to explore leisurely, the guide provided explanations and efficiently took us around, allowing us to have a fulfilling experience. It was also nice that we were dropped off at Kokusai Street. Thank you very much.

朝早くからの半日ツアーだったので参加しました。
世界遺産群である斎場御嶽も見学でき、満足です。
ゆっくり見学すると、少し時間が足りない感じがしなくもないですが、ガイドさんの説明もあり、効率良く周って下さるので、充実した時間を過ごせました。
国際通りまで送迎してもらえたのも良かったです。
ありがとうございました。

The cost performance is excellent. Since it's a tour that arrives at the airport at 1 PM, it's definitely worth considering participating if you can make it on time.

コストパフォーマンスは最高です。午後１時に空港着のツアーですので、時間に間に合うのであれば参加を検討する価値は十分あります。

We chose Option B on 6th November so we can have plenty of time to explore Mibaru Beach and Hamabe-no-Chaya (Café 'Time). The scenery is picturesque and it is well worth going on a tour like this if you do not drive.

The tourist spots are "Sefa Utaki," "Okinawa World or Shinbaru Beach," and "Himeyuri Monument." After the tour, you will be taken to Naha Airport or Kencho-mae. I went to Shinbaru Beach, where I was able to relax on the beach and also stop by a café, spending a leisurely time. During the ride, the guide provided thorough explanations about the tourist spots and the southern part of Okinawa, and I was guided in a positive way, allowing me to have a meaningful experience. On the day of my return, it was quite difficult to pass the time, but I was glad to have participated in this tour.

観光場所は『斎場御嶽』、『おきなわワールド OR 新原ビーチ』、『ひめゆりの塔』です。
観光後は那覇空港もしくは、県庁前まで送ってくれます。
私は、新原ビーチに行きましたがビーチでのんびりできてカフェにも寄れてゆっくりと過ごせました。車内ではガイドさんによる観光場所や沖縄南部の説明などもしっかりあり、いい方に案内して頂いて有意義な時間を過ごせました。
帰りの日はなかなか時間を潰すのが難しいですが、このツアーに参加できて良かったです。

You can visit quickly and at a low cost. However, there are separate admission fees for each facility. The Himeyuri Tower museum is very moving.

短い時間でサラッと見学するのに低コストで行けます。但し、各施設で別途入場料がかかります。ひめゆりの塔の資料館は泣けてきます。

Last day of my trip to Okinawa. My flight was at 2:30 PM, but I was able to be taken to the airport at 1 PM, and we also visited the Sefa Utaki, which was very reasonable, so I was glad to book this tour.

There were a couple of meeting points, and I was a bit anxious because some people arrived late. However, the guide was very attentive, repeatedly assuring us, "We will arrive at the airport by 1 PM! We will arrive at the airport by 1 PM!" which gave me a sense of relief.

At Sefa Utaki, we watched an explanatory DVD before having free time. It is said to be a very sacred place, so we were quite solemn. I did take some photos, though.

Next was Gyokusendo Cave. It was my first time visiting a limestone cave, and it was quite large, taking about 30 minutes to walk through. I returned to the entrance without checking out the various fruit gardens and souvenir shops above ground, just in time for the meeting. I felt a bit it was a waste to pay over 1,000 yen for the entrance fee. I wish I had a bit more time.

After that, we visited the Himeyuri Monument. It seems to be the season for school trips now, as there were many high school students, and it was quite crowded. I enjoyed some tea and purple sweet potato tart at a nearby souvenir shop before heading to the airport.

We wrapped up right on time at 1 PM. I was able to board my flight without any issues. On the last day, due to the awkward flight time, I definitely wouldn't have been able to do so much sightseeing on my own. I'm really glad I booked this tour. Thank you very much!

沖縄旅行最終日。２時半の飛行機だったのですが、１時に空港に送って頂けて、斎場御嶽も行けて、かつリーズナブルなので、これ幸いと申し込みました。
２カ所ほど集合場所がありましたが、遅れてきた人が居たため、少し遅れるかな？と少しハラハラ。ですが、空港で降りる人が居ると分かっているためか、ガイドさんが凄い気にしてくれて、「１時には空港には着きますから！１時には空港には着きますから！」と何度も仰っていただいて、安心感。
斎場御嶽は、解説のＤＶＤを見てから自由行動です。とても神聖な場所らしく、厳粛に。写真撮っちゃいましたけど。
次は玉泉洞。初めて鍾乳洞に行きましたが、結構大きくて、徒歩３０分。そのまま地上に色々あるフルーツ園、お土産屋等、一切見ずに入口まで戻って集合時間です。入園料千円以上出して、ちょっと勿体なかったかも。もう少し時間欲しかったなぁ。
後は、ひめゆりの塔。今は修学旅行の季節でしょうか。いっぱい高校生が居て、ごったがえしてました。隣のお土産屋でお茶と紅イモタルトを頂いて、空港へ。
解散時間はバッチリ１３時。無事、飛行機に乗れました。最終日、中途半端なフライト時間のため、個人では絶対こんなに観光できませんでした。申し込んでよかった。ありがとうございました。

I was able to make good use of the morning on the day I returned on the afternoon flight. We visited Sefa Utaki, then went to Gyokusendo (Okinawa World), and finally the Himeyuri Monument, before being dropped off at the airport. The stories from our veteran guide, N, were interesting, and I was never bored during the trip. I think it offers great value for the price.

午後の便で帰る日の午前中を有効活用できました。
斎場御嶽⇒玉泉洞（おきなわワールド）⇒ひめゆりの塔を廻り、最後は空港で降ろしてもらえました。
ベテランガイドのNさんの話が面白くて、道中もまったく飽きません。
かなりコスパが高いと思いますよ。

I think it's a great tour. I would like to see other tours created around the same time. It was really good, so thank you very much.

いいツアーだと思います。同じような時間帯で他のツアーも作って欲しいです。本当に良かったので宜しくお願い致します。

The weather was nice, and the view from Taiko Rock was beautiful, which was moving.
Along the way, the guide took a lot of photos, so we ended up with many wonderful pictures.
The guide also explained about the plants, like moss, so I was able to enjoy the hike.
I think it's possible to hike without a guide, but I'm glad I signed up for the tour.

天気が良く、太鼓岩からの景色が美しく、感動しました。
道中、ガイドさんがたくさん写真を撮ってくださったので
ステキな写真がいっぱいできました。
苔などの植物の説明もしてくださったので、楽しく登山できました。
ガイドなしでも登山可能かと思いますが、ツアーに申し込んで良かったです。

On the last day, while I was thinking about what to do after returning the rental car, I found this tour and signed up. I rarely have the opportunity to visit the southern part, and this was my first time visiting all these places. The atmosphere at Sefa Utaki was solemn and mystical, which was wonderful, and the view from the window of the seaside café I chose on Course B was like a postcard picture—it was the best!

最終日でレンタカーも返却してどうしようかな～と思ってるときにこのツアーを見つけて申し込みました。南部はなかなか行く機会がなく今回初めて訪れる所ばかりでした。斎場御嶽も厳かで神秘的な雰囲気で良かったし、Bコースで選んだ海辺のカフェの窓から見る景色はまるで絵葉書の写真みたいで最高でした。

This is my second visit to Yakushima this year. I couldn't resist visiting Shiratani Unsuikyo and Taiko Rock again after just six months.

Hiking through the green forest with a refreshing breeze and dappled sunlight was wonderful. The view from Taiko Rock, with a rainbow arcing across the sky, was truly beautiful.

Once again, I had a reliable guide accompanying me, which allowed me to enjoy the hike with peace of mind. Thank you, guide Kyoku.

I can't help but wonder how beautiful the autumn foliage and winter snow scenery will be, and I already find myself longing for Yakushima.

I look forward to visiting again soon.

今年2度目の屋久島。白谷雲水峡、太鼓岩も半年もあけずに又訪れてしまいました。
緑の森の中を爽やかな風と、木漏れ日を浴びながらの登山。虹のかかる太鼓岩からの眺めはとても素敵なものでした。
今回も、頼りになるガイドさんが同行して下さり、安心して登山を楽しむことが出来ました。ガイドの局さん、ありがとうございました。
秋の紅葉や冬の雪景色は、どんなに素敵なんだろうと、早くも屋久島を恋しく思う日々です。
又、お伺いする際にはどうぞよろしくお願い致します。

Since my workplace is in Nihonbashi, none of these places were new to me. However, I was truly surprised at how fresh everything felt from a different perspective. I was also satisfied with the staff's service. Thank you very much.

職場が日本橋なので、いずれの場所も初めてのところではありませんでした。でも、でもです！目線が違うとこんなにも新鮮なのかと本当に驚きました。スタッフの皆さんの対応にも満足です。ありがとうございました。

I traveled to Okinawa with two friends in March for a two-night, three-day trip. Unfortunately, we weren't able to see much of the beautiful ocean due to the weather. However, on the last day, which was our whale watching day, the weather was perfect. The guide was very friendly and made the experience enjoyable.

At first, I was worried that we wouldn't see any whales, but we were able to see them clearly. It was also memorable to see a mother and baby whale together.

There were many people on the boat, including not only Japanese tourists but also a lot of foreign tourists, such as those from China. Since it had been rainy for several days, the waves were a bit high, and it seemed that more than half of the foreign tourists were seasick. However, our group had no issues. I tend to get motion sickness easily, so I took some medication beforehand, which helped. I recommend that anyone who is worried about seasickness take some medication as well.

Overall, it was a satisfying tour with good weather and no seasickness.

3月に友人と３人で利用しました。２泊３日の沖縄旅行でしたが、天候に恵まれずあまり綺麗な海を見れていませんでした。最終日のホエールウォッチングの日だけとてもよく晴れました。ガイドのお兄さんも、とってもフレンドリーで楽しかったです。
最初は、クジラが見れなかったどうしようと思っていましたが、しっかりと見ることができました。また、親子のクジラを見ることができたのも印象深かったです。
船には多くの人が乗っていて、日本人だけでなく中国人観光客など外国人が多かったです。雨の日が続いていたこともあり、若干波が高かったこともあり外国人の観光客の方の半分以上が船酔いしていたようでしたが、私たちグループは問題ありませんでした。もともと、酔いやすいタイプなので事前に酔い止めを飲んで防げたので、心配な方は酔い止めを服用するといいと思います。
船酔いすることもなく、いい天気で楽しいツアーだったので満足です。

Shiratani Unsuikyo is manageable even with a late morning start, but an early morning departure is recommended. This is because:

- There are fewer people, allowing you to enjoy nature all to yourself. An empty forest is wonderful.
- The weather is often clear in the morning. It tends to get cloudy in the afternoon as temperatures rise.
- The tranquility before sunrise and the beauty of the forest as the sunlight begins to filter in are stunning.

On the day of my visit, it was sunny on the way there and cloudy with light rain on the way back, allowing me to enjoy various forest landscapes.

Lastly, our guide, Mr. Minida, was truly excellent. Thank you very much.

白谷雲水峡は朝遅めのスタートでも十分回れる行程ですが、早朝出発がおすすめです。
なぜなら
・人が少なく自然を独り占めできる。誰もいない森は素晴らしい。
・山は午前中晴れることが多い。気温の上がる午後は曇りがち。
・日の出前の静けさと、陽が射し始めて光が入り始めた森が美しい。
などなど多くのメリットがあるから。
当日は行きは晴れ、帰り道で曇りから小雨と、様々な森の風景を堪能することができました。

最後に、ガイドの箕田さんが実に良かったです。ありがとうございました。

This is a convenient sightseeing bus that allows you to efficiently and reasonably visit famous spots. Two years ago, I took it once with my mother, and it was so good that I rode it again with a friend who was visiting Okinawa for the first time.

This time, since it was just after the rainy season, it was quite hot, but I was able to enjoy stunning views from a seaside café and ride a glass-bottom boat, which offered a different experience from my last visit.

I would love to ride it again if the opportunity arises.

名所を効率よく、なおかつリーズナブルに回れる便利な観光バスです。２年前に母と一度乗った時に、とても良かったので沖縄が初めての友達と再び乗車しました。
今回は梅雨明け直後ということもあり、かなり暑かったですが海辺のカフェで絶景を眺めたり、グラスボートに乗れたりと、前回とは違う楽しみ方もできました。
また、機会があったら乗ってみたいです。

I participated in a mother-daughter trip on the last day of our Okinawa vacation. It was a perfect plan to visit the places I wanted to see, such as the Seifa Utaki and the Himeyuri Monument. I thought it would have been nice to also see the Peace Memorial Park since it was nearby, but overall, it was a satisfying tour.

母娘旅行、沖縄旅行最終日に参加しました。
行ってみたかった斎場御嶽、ひめゆりの塔を回るちょうどよいプランでした。
平和祈念公園も近いから見れてもよかったかな～と思いましたが、全体的に満足なツアーでした。

I had never been to Sefa Utaki, so I decided to join the tour. There were several pickup locations in Naha City, which was convenient as I could choose a nearby spot. However, the pickup was about 10 minutes late, which I thought was typical Okinawa time. The tour itself was great, as there was a guide who shared a lot of interesting information. Since we visited Sefa Utaki first thing in the morning, it was not crowded, allowing us to take our time and really appreciate the site!

斎場御嶽に行ったことがなかったので参加させて頂きました。
那覇市内のピックアップ場所が数カ所あり近場を選べるので有り難かったです。
ただピックアップが１０分ほど遅れたのはやはり沖縄タイムだなと思いました。
ツアー自体はガイドさんもいらっしゃり色々と御話をうかがえてとても良かったです。
斎場御嶽も朝一番だったので空いていてじっくり見ることができて良かったです！

From the moment I entered the forest, everything felt like the world of Princess Mononoke. I'm really glad I went. While drinking miso soup made with Yakushima water prepared by our guide, I sat on the tree roots and enjoyed my lunch. It was such a luxurious time...
I felt so healed being away from the city. Thank you very much.

森に入った瞬間から、全部がもののけ姫の世界でした。本当に行って良かったです。ガイドさんが屋久島の水で淹れてくれたお味噌汁を飲みながら、木の根っこに座ってお弁当。贅沢な時間すぎて....。
都会から離れて、とても癒されました♩
ありがとうございました。

I had plenty of time to see Seifa Utaki. At Okinawa World, with limited time, you will have to choose between seeing a show or the limestone caves.

せーふぁうたきはたっぷり見る時間があった。沖縄ワールドは、時間が少なくショーか鍾乳洞のどちらかを見る形になる。

I met a whale. I was able to take great photos and videos with my smartphone. I found myself wanting to get closer, see it bigger, and for longer, but I was satisfied to see its back swimming multiple times and to witness it spouting water. I was worried about seasickness, but I had no problems at all. I would like to participate again.

クジラに会いました。スマホで写真も動画もばっちり取れました。もっと近くで、もっと大きく、もっと長く、と欲が出ますが、何度も泳いでいる背中を見て、潮を吹くところも見られたので満足です。船酔いが心配でしたが、全く問題ありませんでした。また参加したいです。

It was a great tour because we were taken to the sightseeing spots by bus, and since it was only half a day, we could schedule other plans for the afternoon!

観光名所にバスで行ってもらい、しかも半日なので、午後にはまた違う予定を入れることができ良いツアーでした！

It was difficult to make a reservation in advance. I had heard that there were many foreigners. Even when I tried to make a reservation directly, it was quite challenging, but I was able to easily book through this site. Additionally, there were many foreigners on the vehicle, and the meeting place felt like it could have been at the Eiffel Tower in Paris due to the number of foreigners. On the day of the experience, the weather was also favorable, and I had a great time.

事前に予約が困難なこと。外国人が多いことを聞いていました。直接予約をしても中々予約ができなかったのですがこのサイトからは簡単に予約ができました。また、車内は外国人が多く、集合場所はまるでパリのエッフェル塔での集合場所かな？と思わせるほど外国人が多かったです。当日は、天候にも恵まれ楽しい体験ができました。

I participated with my 55-year-old mother and brother, making a team of three. Plus, there was one more woman of the same age as my mother, so we had a team of five. (At the Iwasaki Hotel where we were staying, they kindly replaced our breakfast buffet with packed lunches for trekkers.)

Our guide provided appropriate breaks, and during the climb, he caught insects and explained the plants, and before we knew it, we arrived at Taiko Rock. Along the way, we received advice on how to walk and tips like "grab here and climb!" and we finished the tour without any injuries.

Fortunately, it didn't rain while we were climbing, and although there were some clouds at Taiko Rock, the weather was clear. It started to rain a bit when we were descending. I felt lucky to enjoy both the sunny and rainy worlds of moss and cedar.

The woman who came alone mentioned that she had gone on a Jomon Sugi tour the day before, but she found this Taiko Rock tour to be much more enjoyable, saying that if you’re going to participate, this one is definitely the way to go!

Our guide, Mr. Yamaguchi, was incredibly experienced and made the experience fantastic. Thank you very much. We gathered at the supermarket at the foot of the mountain at 6 AM and disbanded around noon.

55歳の母親と兄と自分の3人で参加しました。プラスお一人でいらしてた母と同年代の女性の方で5人チームでした。(宿泊していたいわさきホテルにて、朝食バイキングをトレッキング者向けに朝と昼のお弁当に代えていただきました。)
ガイドの方に適度な休憩を挟んでいただき、登山中も虫を捕まえたり植物のご説明をしてくださってあっという間に太鼓岩まで到着しました。
途中、歩き方やココを掴んで登って！などといったアドバイスもいただき怪我も無くツアーを終えました。
運良く登りは雨が降らず、太鼓岩では多少の雲はあるものの晴天、下山のときに一時雨が降ってきました。晴れと雨の二つの苔と杉の世界を楽しめてラッキーでした。
お一人様でいらしてた女性は前の日に縄文杉ツアーに行かれてたそうですが、この太鼓岩ツアーのほうが何倍も楽しく、参加するなら断然こっち！とのことでした。
経験豊富なガイドの山口さんが大当たりでした。ありがとうございました。
6時に麓のスーパーに集合、12時頃に解散となりました。

I was looking for a day trip to Sefa Utaki and booked this tour. It was a very relaxed tour, basically providing transportation, explanations on the bus, and guidance to the entrance of the sightseeing points, allowing us to explore freely within the time given, which was great as it made it easy to spend time without feeling awkward with other participants.

Since I had some time before my return flight, I enjoyed a leisurely breakfast at the hotel and took a bath before the afternoon departure. I would have been even happier if there had been an arrangement that allowed for a stop along the way at my own timing, so I could continue sightseeing in the afternoon (I went to Okinawa World, so I wanted to see the nearby Gyokusendo Cave as well).

I hope there will be other routes available for participation the next time I visit Okinawa.

斎場御嶽に行ける日帰りツアーを探しており、こちらを予約しました。基本的に送迎とバス内での説明、観光ポイントの入り口までの案内であとは時間内で自由に見てきてくださいねというツアーなのでとても気楽で他の参加者の人とのお互い気を使うことなく過ごせてよかったです。
帰りの便まで時間があったので、ホテルで朝ゆっくりと朝食を取って、お風呂に入ってからの午後発コースがあったり、自身のタイミングで途中下車可能で午後もまだ観光ができるようなアレンジプランがあればもっと嬉しかったかなと。（おきなわワールドまで行ったのですぐそばのガンガラーの谷も見たかった）
また次回沖縄に遊びに行った際にも参加できるような別ルートも期待しています。

I participated on the last day of my first trip to Okinawa. The main goal was to visit the Seifa Utaki, but I was also able to efficiently visit other tourist spots, which was great.

初めての沖縄旅行の最終日に参加しました。一番の目的は斎場御嶽でしたが、他の観光地も効率よく回れてとてもよかった。

I participated on June 28. I've been to Okinawa dozens of times, so I didn't think I needed a sightseeing bus at this point, but I found that this tour was cheaper than taking the local bus to and from the airport when I planned to stop by New Higa Beach on my return day. The price of 1,400 yen is astonishing.

To be honest, I wasn't expecting much, but veteran Okinawa beauty bus guide Ito-san was wonderful. Right after departure, they started collecting the fare, and once that was done, they immediately began sharing various stories. The content was truly impressive, as expected from a veteran. I won't spoil the fun by writing too much here, so please do join the tour. I realized that some things I thought I knew were actually wrong, which was an eye-opener. Thank you for a fun half day!

6月28日に参加しました。沖縄には何十回も行っているのでいまさら観光バスでもないのですが、帰る日に新原ビーチに寄って行こうと思ったら路線バスで往復して空港へ行くよりもこのツアーの方が安いのです。1,400円という料金は驚異的ですね。
実は期待していなかったのですが、ベテラン沖縄美人バスがイトさんが素晴らしいです。発車後すぐに料金の徴収から始まって、それが終わるとすぐにあれこれと話してくれます。その内容がさすがはベテランなのです。ここで書いてしまっては楽しみが半減するのでぜひツアーに参加してください。知ってるつもりだったことが間違えて覚えていたりして目からウロコです。楽しい半日をありがとうございました。
