All Reviews for Okinawa Bus Tours

A packed day! It was a hard schedule, but we were able to efficiently visit famous tourist spots. Each island had a representative who responded promptly, making it a stress-free day.

1日盛りだくさん！ハードスケジュールでしたが、効率よく有名な観光地を回れました。
各島では担当の方がそれぞれテキパキと対応してくれて、ストレスなしの1日でした。

I had to give up my trip to Ishigaki Island once due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but I challenged myself to try again. I was able to enjoy a leisurely family trip exploring the islands and immersing ourselves in nature. I was surprised at how calm the water buffalo were.

コロナが流行り、一度断念した石垣島旅行
再度チャレンジしました。
離島巡り、家族でのんびり自然を満喫することが
できました。
水牛がとてもおとなしくびっくりしました。

It was great to be able to explore efficiently. I was able to learn about the unique qualities of each island. Additionally, the guides were all very kind. I would recommend this to anyone traveling to Ishigaki Island.

効率的に回れてとても良かったです。それぞれの島の良さを知ることが出来ました。それにガイドさんがみんな親切でした。石垣島に旅する人に薦めたいと思いました。

I took a bus from the hotel where I was staying and got off in front of the hotel on the way back. It was very convenient. The tour included admission tickets to the Churaumi Aquarium and a light snack sandwich, making it a great deal. At Pineapple Park, perhaps because I was relaxing too much, the shopping time was reduced, so I recommend that those who enjoy shopping hurry a bit with their sightseeing in the park.

宿泊しているホテルからバスに乗り、復路もホテル前で降車。
とても楽でした。
美ら海水族館の入場券もつき、軽食のサンドイッチもついてお得感があるツアーでした。
パイナップルパークではのんびりしたせいか？ショッピングタイムが少なくなってしまいましたので買い物好きな方は園内の見学を少しお急ぎになる事をおすすめします。

I didn't rent a car, so I was able to go to the places I wanted by joining a bus tour. It was great to hear various stories about Okinawa from the guide.

レンタカーを借りていないのでバスツアーに参加して行きたい場所に行けました。
ガイドさんの沖縄の色々な話を聞けて良かったです。

Due to the Christmas season, the optional tours available at the hotel were already fully booked. I searched and arranged through their website! The tour was a digest version covering two islands, including mangroves, water buffalo, and a local gourmet lunch, and it was very satisfying. It was designed so that even small children and those who are not confident in their physical strength could easily participate, and I had a great time. Thank you!

クリスマスの時期と重なり、ホテルで予約できるオプションツアーはすでにいっぱいでした。
こちらのweb予約で検索し対応して頂きました！
ホテル送迎付きの２島をめぐるダイジェスト版で、マングローブと水牛、島グルメランチとおおよそ網羅されており満足の内容でした。
小さなお子様や体力に自信のない方でも気軽に参加できる内容で、楽しむことが出来ました。
ありがとうございました！

The guide who explained everything in fluent English and Japanese left a very good impression. I think the cost performance is excellent. It was cold this time, so I would like to visit during a warmer season next time.

流暢な英語と日本語で説明してくださるガイドさんがとても好印象でした。コスパもすごくいいと思います。今回は寒かったので、次回は暖かい時期に訪問したいです。

I was able to visit Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island! On Taketomi Island, I had planned to take a glass-bottom boat, but it was canceled due to the weather, so I enjoyed sightseeing with water buffalo on both Yufu Island and Taketomi Island. However, on Yufu Island, we toured on the water, while on Taketomi Island, we toured on land with the water buffalo, so I had a great time sightseeing with water buffalo on both islands!

西表島、由布島、竹富島へ行くことができました！竹富島ではグラスボート予定ですが、天候の影響でキャンセルとなってしまい、由布島でも竹富島でも水牛での観光でした。しかし、由布島では水の上を、竹富島では陸の上を水牛で観光でしたので、どちらの島も水牛観光でも楽しめました！！

Both the guide and the driver were pleasant, and I thoroughly enjoyed my first trip to Okinawa. The guide's singing and explanations were excellent (which may be a given), and I learned a lot about the history of the landmarks and useful information. Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy and rainy, so it was disappointing not to see the beautiful ocean. There were also a few solo travelers, and being able to chat with them was one of the highlights of the trip. I often use bus tours, and I think 5,900 yen for a tour that includes light snacks is quite reasonable.

ガイドさんも運転手さんも感じが良く、初めての沖縄旅行でしたが満喫できました。
ガイドさんの歌や説明が上手（あたりまえのことかもしれませんが）で名所の歴史やお得情報などよくわかりました。
あいにくお天気が☁や雨だったので綺麗な海が見られなくて残念でした。
一人旅の方も何人かいらしてて、お話ができたのが旅の醍醐味のひとつでしょうか。
よくバスツアーを利用するのですが軽食つきで5900円はお手頃だと思います。に

I was scheduled to return home on a flight at 3:25 PM, and I was wondering what to do in the morning. Since I returned the rental car the day before, I had to use the monorail anyway, so it worked out really well.

I arrived at the airport just after 1 PM, and I was able to enjoy a leisurely lunch and buy some souvenirs. The guide's stories were really fun, and the driver was very safe.

If possible, I would have liked an additional 30 minutes after Okinawa World. I would like to use this service again.

午後3時25分発の飛行機で帰宅予定で、午前何しようか悩んでいたし、前日レンタカーを返したので、どのみちモノレールを使わないといけなかったので、すごく良かったです。
空港には1時過ぎに到着し、昼ごはんをゆっくり食べたり、お土産を買うことも出来ました。
ガイドさんのお話しも凄く楽しかったし、運転手さんも安全運転でした。
できれば沖縄ワールド後30分時間が欲しかったです。
また利用したいと思います。

At first, I was worried because it was cloudy, but the wind cleared the clouds, and I was glad to see the beautiful view. After participating in the tour, I started to pay more attention to the stars.

雲がかかっていたので初めは心配でしたが、風で雲も流れて綺麗に見れて良かったです
ツアー参加後、気にして星を見るようになりました

I was glad to see the wonderful scenery, but when I stood up because I really needed to use the restroom before the meal, the guide scolded me without asking for a reason, saying, "I told you to stay seated!" Even when I tried to explain, I was told to sit down again a couple of times, and since it was early in the trip, I felt uncomfortable throughout the course.

The meal was very satisfying as I got to enjoy a lot of delicious fish, and after the meal, I enjoyed looking at the beautiful sea and swinging on a handmade swing.

There were many older participants, and it seemed like there were quite a few couples, but there were also a good number of solo participants.

At the national park, the local guide provided detailed explanations, which was very nice! I enjoyed listening to the descriptions of the plants and animals. However, it was puzzling that after finishing the national park visit, we were shown an introduction video about the park. I thought the order was strange...

I participated in December, and it gets a bit chilly in the morning and evening, so I think having a light jacket would be good. It was a bit hot during the hike.

Since they take you around to various places, I think it's great for those who can't drive themselves. I recommend it if you don't mind spending a long time on the bus.

素晴らしい景色が見れて良かったとは思いますが、
食事前どうしてもお手洗いに行きたくて立ち上がると理由も確認せず頭ごなしに「座っていてと言いましたよね！」とガイドさんに怒られました。
理由を述べようとしても2.3度被せて座ってくださいと怒られ、旅の序盤だったのでコースを回っている間中ずっと不愉快でした。

食事は美味しいお魚がたくさん食べられて大満足でした、食事後綺麗な海を眺めたり手作り感のあるブランコを漕いだりしました。

参加者の方々は年配の方が多く、ご夫婦が多かった印象ですがお一人の参加者も少なくなかったです。


国立公園では現地の方が詳しく説明をしてくださりとても良かったです！
植物や生き物たちの説明は聞いていて楽しかったです。
国立公園を見終わった後に国立公園の紹介動画を見せられたのは謎でした。
順番がおかしいと思います…。

12月に参加しましたが、朝と夕方少し冷えるので軽い上着があるといいかなと思います。
ハイキング中は少し暑かったです。

色んな所に連れ回してくれるので自分で運転ができないという方はいいと思います。
長時間バスに乗るのが苦痛でなければおすすめします。

The weather wasn't great, so it felt a bit hectic, but I think the tour itself was good value for money. There were two disappointing points. One was the need to remind some tour guests to speak a little more quietly. The other was that although there were three hours allocated for visiting the Churaumi Aquarium and having lunch, considering the time spent waiting to purchase tickets and the round trip to the parking lot, we effectively had just over two hours. Even though we wanted to eat, all the restaurants were crowded, with waits of 40 minutes to an hour, so we prioritized sightseeing and ended up not being able to eat. I would have appreciated more information in advance about the locations and expected crowds.

天候が良くなかった為に少々ばたばたした感じでしたが、ツアーそのものの内容はコスパが良いと思います。
残念だったのは2点。ひとつは少し大きめの声で会話するツアー客に対して注意する必要が有る事。もうひとつは美ら海水族館での見学および昼食の時間は3時間あるもののチケット購入待ちや駐車場までの往復を考えると実質は2時間強だった事。食事しようにもどの店も混んでおり40～1時間待ちなので見学を優先した結果食事はできませんでした。事前に場所や混雑見込み等の情報をもう少し教えていただきたいと思いました。

It was my first time in Okinawa. The weather wasn't great, but it turned into such a wonderful trip that I forgot about it. I definitely want to go again!

初めての沖縄でした。天気がイマイチでしたが､それを忘れるぐらい素敵な旅になりました。また絶対に行きたいと思います！

I visited Sefa Utaki and the Gangala Valley.
The power of nature is incredible!
I was easily taken to these two places by bus.
I recommend that those participating in this tour wear comfortable shoes because you'll be walking in nature! It's not paved, and you'll be walking quite a bit.

斎場御嶽とガンガラーの谷に行きました。
大自然の迫力！
行きたかった2箇所にバスで連れて行って貰えて楽々♪
こちらのツアーに参加される方は歩きやすい靴で行くことをオススメします。なぜなら両方共自然の中を歩くから！舗装されてないし結構歩きます。

The limestone cave was mysterious and a wonderful place. I couldn't see any traditional Okinawan houses from the sightseeing bus, which was just filled with buildings, so I was thrilled to finally see the Okinawan houses on TV.

鍾乳洞、神秘的でした、素晴らしいところですね
沖縄家屋は、観光バスの中からは、ビルばかりで見ることが無く、やっとテレビで見る沖縄家屋が見れて感激です

It was more affordable than going individually. The lunch was not just a small bonus; it was substantial, but it might have been a bit small in quantity for younger people.

個人で行く費用よりお得に行けました。昼食もおまけ程度では無くしっかりしたものでしたが若い人には量が少なかったかも。

It's great that even those without a driver's license can conveniently go to various places. The timing was just right, and I had a wonderful day.
However, all the tourist information was delivered through earphones, and the guide didn't speak at all except for ticket and time information, which was a bit disappointing and felt a little lacking in energy.
It really dampened the excitement for sightseeing.
I will use this service again. Thank you!

免許を持っていない方でも、便利にいろんなところへ行けるのはとても嬉しいです。時間の調整もちょうど良くて、一日満喫で楽しかったです。
でも、観光情報などは全部イヤホンで流れて、ガイトはチケットや時間の案内以外一切喋ってくれなくて、しかも少し元気がない感じで残念でした。
観光の気持ちを一気に下がる。
また使わせていただきます。よろしくお願いします。

The view from a sightseeing bus offers different discoveries compared to a passenger car, and you can also listen to the guide's explanations, so it is recommended depending on your purpose.

観光バスからの目線は乗用車とは違う発見があり、ガイドさんの説明も聞けるので、目的によってはおすすめです。

A trip to Okinawa without a rental car. On the last day, I was considering sightseeing at places like the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. Initially, I had planned to take a high-speed boat to enjoy the view from the sea, but due to rough seas, the service was canceled, and I switched to a bus tour. The guide was kind and shared various stories about Okinawa, which were very helpful. Although the weather forecast predicted rain, we were blessed with good weather. Additionally, I had heard that traffic has been terrible lately, but it flowed relatively smoothly, and we arrived at the airport earlier than planned. Thank you very much.

レンタカー無しでの沖縄旅行。
最終日は美ら海水族館等の観光を考えていて、当初は高速船で海からの眺めを計画していたのが、海上時化のため欠航となりバスツアーに切り替えました。
ガイドさんも親切で沖縄について色んな話をしていただき参考になりました。
天気予報も雨☔予想だったが好天に惠まれ、
また、このところ渋滞が酷いとのことだったが、比較適用スムーズに流れて予定より早めに空港に到着出来ました。
有難うございました。

The tour that efficiently covers the mangrove forest cruise in Iriomote, the ox cart ride to Yubu Island, and the charming star sand beach and ox carts in Taketomi Island was absolutely satisfying. I really felt it was worth going, especially since the weather was just right. I highly recommend it for anyone visiting the Nansei Islands for the first time.

西表でのマングローブの林のクルーズ、牛車で行く由布島、星砂の浜と牛車が魅力的な竹富島を効率的に周れるツアーは大大満足。
ギリギリ天候にも恵まれてほんっとに行って良かったなと思います。初めて南西諸島に行く人には絶対お薦めです。

Since you often have the opportunity to ride on boats and there can be swaying due to rain, it's better to have motion sickness medication even if you usually don't get sick! One person felt nauseous and had to drop out, but the staff informed them that they couldn't return immediately.

The weather forecast for Okinawa is unreliable. It's better to have rain gear. There were also people lining up to buy raincoats that looked like they were worth less than 100 yen inside the boat.

船に乗る機会が多いし、雨で揺れることもあるので普段酔わなくても酔い止めあった方が良いです！
1人気持ち悪いと脱落しましたが、すぐには帰れないことをスタッフから言われてました。

沖縄の天気予報あてになりません。
雨具あった方が良いです。
船の中で、見た目が100均以下のカッパ買うために並んでる人もいました。

I was a bit concerned about my physical stamina since I was with my elderly parents, but we used boats, water buffalo carts, and buses, so there were no particular issues. We were able to ride the water buffalo cart twice; the first time we were at the back, and the second time at the front, which was quite enjoyable. Personally, I would have liked a bit more time to explore Yubu Island rather than just the mangrove tour. Overall, I was satisfied with the efficient visit to the three islands. Thank you very much.

高齢の両親と一緒だったので体力的に不安がありましたが、船や水牛車、バスを利用したので特に問題ありませんでした。水牛車も2回乗れて、1回目は最後尾、2回目は最前列と充分楽しめました。
個人的にはマングローブ遊覧より、由布島の散策にもう少し時間が欲しかったです。
効率的に3島巡れて概ね満足です。ありがとうございました。

The level of the Jumbo Tours guide is too low. Do they think it's okay just because they're dealing with foreigners? I will never use them again!

ジャンボツアーズの添乗員レベルが低すぎる。外国人相手だからそんなんで良いと思うんですかね？
二度と利用しません！

The guide was kind, and the Churaumi Aquarium, Kouri Island, and the Christmas illumination at American Village were all fantastic.

ガイドさんも親切で、美ら海水族館、古宇利島、クリスマスイルミネーションのアメリカンビレッジ
どこも、最高でした

I participated in a hotel transfer from Onna Village. It was very helpful since I didn't have a rental car. The driver, who drove safely, kindly greeted us with "thank you for your hard work" every time the bus stopped for passengers to get off, and when we returned, he said "welcome back." It was very pleasant. The bus guide was a veteran, and he was great at speaking; his voice was easy to hear, making for a wonderful guiding experience throughout the day.

We visited Manzamo in the rain and then proceeded to the Pineapple Garden. As the guide mentioned, they made efforts during the COVID period, and I could see their creativity, making it more enjoyable than I expected. By the time we headed to Kouri Island, the rain had stopped, the sky was blue, and the sea looked beautiful. It was just around lunchtime, and unexpectedly, we were served delicious sandwiches, which was a delightful surprise. Since we were at a roadside station, we could buy local watermelon and have lunch.

After that, the weather cleared up, and we arrived at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. We had about two hours, so we took the ¥300 internal shuttle bus, which took an hour to go around. The vast grounds were pleasant, with a nice breeze, allowing us to appreciate the beautiful sea, impressive buildings, and stunning nature. After that, we entered the aquarium, where we had plenty of time to see everything. The guide's explanations were easy to understand and made the trip even more enriching.

We started our journey back from the last stop at the Chinsuko Kingdom, and the guide's charm added a nice touch. Thank you for a wonderful day. If I could wish for anything, it would have been perfect if it had been eligible for the national travel support program.

恩納村のホテル送迎付きで参加。レンタカーが無いのでとても助かります。安全運転のドライバーさんはバスが止まって乗客が降りる度にお疲れ様と声をかけて下さり戻るとお帰りなさいとの事。とても感じ良かったです。バスガイドさんはベテランの方でしたがお話が上手で声も聞きやすく素晴らしいガイドぶりで一日中楽しかったです。 雨の中の万座毛 パイナップルガーデンと進みました。パイナップルガーデンはガイドさんも言っていましたが、コロナを期に努力なさったそうで工夫が見られ 思った以上に楽しかったです。古宇利島に向かう頃には雨も止んで空が青く海も綺麗になりました。丁度お昼時でしたが思いがけず美味しいサンドイッチが配られて感動しました。道の駅でしたので特産のスイカを買ったりしてお昼を食べられました。その後は快晴になり美ら海水族館到着。約２時間ありましたので¥300の園内周遊バスで1時間掛けて回りました。広大な敷地ですがバスはのんびりと気持ち良く風が通り美しい海や立派な建物 見事な自然も把握できました。その後水族館へ入ったのですが充分見ることができました。ガイドさんの説明は分かりやすく楽しく旅が一段と濃厚になりました。最後のお菓子御殿から帰途に着きましたがガイドさんのアザトヤユンタは風情があって良かったです。良い一日をありがとうございました。欲を言えば全国旅行支援対象でしたら完璧でしたね。

My first time in Okinawa. I took a tour with Toyo Bus. While on the bus, the guide continuously shared stories about Okinawa's history, famous spots, and folklore. Their narration was very easy to listen to, and I found myself captivated by their gentle storytelling. The driver also kindly sent us off with "Have a good time" every time we got off at a sightseeing spot. We sanitized our hands with disinfectant before reboarding, and they took infection prevention measures seriously. The meeting time and place were explained in detail, so there was no confusion. Although the weather was unfortunate, we were able to enjoy the sightseeing without any inconvenience.

初沖縄。東陽バスでの観光となりました。バスに乗っている時は、ずっとガイドさんが沖縄の歴史や名所の説明、昔話などを話してくれました。
その語りが、とても聞きやすく、優しい語り方で思わず聞き入っていました。
運転手さんも、観光地で降りるたびに、いってらっしゃいと、送り出してくれました。
再乗車の旅に、消毒液で手を消毒。感染対策もしてくれました。集合時間，場所も詳しく説明があってので、迷う事もありませんでした。
あいにくの天候でしたが、不自由なく，観光ができました。

I am grateful to the guide who entertained us from start to finish! They were the best guide I've ever had. With a great sense of humor, I was able to listen to various things about Okinawa without getting bored. I had a wonderful time! Thank you very much.

最初から最後まで楽しませて下さったガイドさんに感謝です！
今までで一番のガイドさんでした。ユーモアもあり沖縄の色んな事を飽きることなく聞く事ができました。
楽しい時間を過ごせました！
ありがとうございました。

First, I thought I might not have enough time at Saijo Gokoku, but I was satisfied with my visit! When taking photos, it felt like we were competing for the best positions with the other members, haha.

I participated in the Ganga-ranger Valley tour, and the local guide's explanations were interesting and engaging, allowing me to learn a lot! The bus guide also spoke at a pace that was easy to understand during the journey. There was alcohol disinfectant available each time we boarded, which made me feel safe. The driver also drove safely, making it easier for me to participate than if I had rented a car! Thank you very much!

最初に斎場御獄で、少し時間足りないかな…と思いましたが満足見回れました！写真を撮るタイミングが他のメンバーの方々と被ると…ベストポジションは取り合う感じでした笑
私はガンガラーの谷に参加したのですが、現地ガイドの方の説明も面白く、興味深く学べました！
バスガイドの方も道中、聞き取りやすい速度で説明して下さりました。乗車毎にアルコール消毒もあり安心できました。運転手の方も安全運転でレンタカーより気持ち楽に参加できました！ありがとうございました！

I applied to go to the Valley of Gangala because I wanted to visit it. It was said to be a valley formed by limestone caves, and the guide's explanations were really easy to understand. It was a great experience filled with surprises and beautiful scenery. The Sefa Utaki was also wonderful. I was able to touch upon Okinawa's history and religious views. The bus staff were also very helpful. Although the guide was a professional, they provided an excellent tour.

ガンガラーの谷に行きたくて、申込みました。鍾乳洞が元になっている谷、ということでしたが、ガイドの方の説明が本当に分かりやすく、驚きと景色の美しさとで、良い体験となりました。斎場御嶽も良かったです。沖縄の歴史、宗教観に触れることが出来ました。バスの関係者の方々も大変良くお世話してくださいました。ガイドさんもプロだからとはいえ、大変良いガイドをしてくださいました。
