I was staying at a hotel in Yomitan Village and didn't have a rental car, but I really wanted to go to the Churaumi Aquarium, so I joined a tour. The tour efficiently covered the sightseeing spots, and there was no pressure to buy souvenirs, so I truly enjoyed it. The guide was great as well.
読谷村のホテルに泊まっていてレンタカーを借りていなかったのですが、どうしても美ら海水族館に行きたくて参加しました。
ツアーは効率よく観光場所を回り、無理にお土産等買わせようということもみられなかったので、本当に楽しめました。

It was my first time in Ishigaki Island, so I chose to visit three islands.
I had no interest in the ox cart and mangroves, but I was moved by them. Yujiro, who was a part-time worker until Yufu Island, was a smart kid who got into the frame by himself and tied the reins on his own. Ryu, the handsome guy from Taketomi Island, was also wonderful. Everyone was great!

It was a wonderful trip where I was taken to places I wanted to visit even while sleeping. The guide's thoughtfulness and consideration were outstanding. There were also tourists from overseas, and I was impressed by the fluent English explanations.
In the evening, it was a pity that I couldn't see the beautiful emerald green sea at Manza Beach due to the reflection of the sun. Having visited in the morning, I can compare and see that the view is completely different. The beautiful sea color was not visible.
The photos were taken with the same equipment.
観光で行きたいところへ寝ていても連れて行ってもらえて素敵な旅でした。また、ガイドさんの気遣い配慮は素晴らしかったです。海外からの観光者もいらっしゃいましたが堪能な英語で説明されていて感心でした。
夕方の万座毛は太陽に反射されてしまって素敵なエメラルドグリーンの海が見えなかったところが残念でした。午前中に訪れたことがあるので比較すると見え方全然違っています。キレイな海色は見えずでした。

I participated using the GoTo campaign. According to the guide, before COVID-19, it was fully booked every day. After reopening, it seems to be quite empty. There were only five participants on the day I joined.
The main stops were Manzamo, Kouri Island, Okashi Goten, Churaumi Aquarium, and Pineapple Park.
Each sightseeing spot was enjoyable to some extent, but since Okashi Goten also has a store in Naha's Kokusai Street, I honestly felt it wasn't necessary. Still, the staff at the sales store were very pleasant.
Additionally, we had lunch there, but the Okinawa soba was lukewarm and honestly did not suit my taste at all. It might have been better to use the cafeteria at the Kouri Island rest area.
I had heard the song from Pineapple Park many times at Don Quijote on Kokusai Street, so I felt, "Is this the place?" Also, the renovations varied greatly from place to place, which made me confused about whether the route we were taking was correct, and it took a long time to get through. The commercial aspect was very strong, and I wondered about that. Personally, I imagined a place where I could compare and taste different varieties of fresh pineapples.
That said, for those who want to enjoy the northern part without renting a car, this might be the best tour option.
GoToキャンペーンを利用して参加。ガイドさんに聞いたところコロナ前は連日満席。再開後は閑古鳥が鳴いているということでした。当日参加者は5名と少数。
主な停車場所は万座毛、古宇利島、御菓子御殿、美ら海水族館、パイナップルパーク。
各観光箇所はそれなりに楽しめましたが、御菓子御殿は那覇・国際通りにも店舗があるので正直必要性は…という感じ。それでも販売店舗の方の店員さんの感じは非常によかったです。
更にそこで昼食だったのですが沖縄そばがぬるかったし正直わたしの口にはまったく合いませんでした。古宇利島休憩所の食堂を利用した方がよかったかも。
パイナップルパークは曲を国際通りのドンキホーテで何度となく聴いていたので「ここがその場所か」という感じでした。また、改装の具合が場所ごとに全く違うことから移動しているルートが正しいのか戸惑い、抜けるのに時間がかかるのと商業色がめっちゃ強くてどうなんだろうなぁという感じです。個人的には素のパイナップルを品種別に比較して食べられるようなところを想像していました。
それでもレンタカーを借りないで少しでも北部を楽しもうとする人には一番向いたツアーではないでしょうか。

I have traveled to Okinawa many times, but since I'm not good at driving, I decided to take the bus to the northern part and joined this tour!
It was my first time visiting the Tropical Dream Center. The orchid flowers were very vibrant and beautiful. Also, the view from the observation deck inside the facility offers a panoramic view of the blue ocean. It was breathtaking!
At the Okashi Goten, the fresh purple sweet potato tart was delicious.
During the bus ride, the bus guide sang Okinawan songs, and I had a great time.
沖縄旅行は何度もしているのですが、車の運転が苦手なため、北部へはバスで行こうと思いこのツアーに参加させていただきました!
熱帯ドリームセンターへは初めて行きました。ランの花がとても鮮やかでキレイでした。また施設内の遠見台から見る景色は青い海を一望できます。絶景でした!

I participated in a bus tour and arrived at Seifa Utaki earlier than scheduled. During the waiting time, I was able to stroll around Chita Peninsula Park. The weather was nice, and Kudaka Island looked beautiful.
The guide's explanations and the handmade picture story were great. After visiting Utaki, I bought some sata andagi.
At Okinawa World, the limestone cave was impressively long. But the highlight was the Eisa performance, where five women took turns dancing for 30 minutes. They jumped while playing drums and lifted their legs high; it was amazing. If you check the Eisa schedule and prioritize watching it, you'll have a lot of fun.
There were also coupon discounts, which made it relatively easy to enjoy the less accessible Nanjo.
バスツアー参加、当日予定よりも早くせーふぁ御嶽に着いて、待ち時間、知多岬公園を散策できた。天気も良く久高島が綺麗に見えた。
ガイドさんの解説も手作り紙芝居もあり、良かった。御嶽見学後、サータアンダーギを買って摘んだ。
沖縄ワールドでは、鍾乳洞が長くすごかった。でも一番良かったのは、エイサー、女性5人が入れ変わり立ち代わり30分、動き回る。太鼓を叩きながらジャンプしたり足を高く上げたり、凄かった。エイサーの時間確認して優先して見ると楽しいです。
クーポン割引もあり、比較的行きにくい南城をうまく楽しめました。

You can almost fully enjoy the tourist attractions in the northern region. The guide is kind as well. Of course, the aquarium is great, but personally, I think Submarine Jr. is nice; the beach there is beautiful, and the ocean view is refreshing. There are not many types of fish, but just being able to dive in the sea is already a lot of fun. On the other hand, the beach at Kouri Island seems a bit lacking? For some reason, everyone just ate ice cream instead of going to the beach. However, the view while running on Kouri Bridge is the best ❤️ It seems like the beach is not worth it.
北部地域の観光名所をほぼ堪能できる。ガイドさんも優しい。水族館はもちろん、個人的にいいと思うのはサブマリンJr、あそこのビーチは綺麗だし、海の景色も新鮮。魚の種類は少ないけど、海に潜られる時点でもう十分楽しい。逆に古宇利島のビーチはちょっと劣れ?皆さんもなぜかビーチに行かず、アイスクリームだけ食べたようです。ただ古宇利橋の上に走ってる時の景色は最高❤️ビーチはだめみたいね

The area is not very convenient for transportation, so it's recommended for efficient sightseeing. The outdoor attractions were blessed with good weather, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful ocean views. I purchased freshly harvested sea grapes (fresh and inexpensive), and the cold draft beer was the best.
For lunch, I chose a personal order and enjoyed the cold noodles made with purple sweet potato (the purple sweet potato tempura was crispy and freshly fried). The "Churaumi Aquarium" met my expectations.
The Ocean Expo Park is vast, but due to the impact of COVID-19, there were few tourists, and I had plenty of time, so I also enjoyed the Tropical Dream Center, Okinawa Village, Ocean Culture Museum, and Emerald Beach (I walked quite fast, but I personally recommend the Tropical Dream Center).
After a sudden rain shower, we arrived at Pineapple Park. The indoor tour was problem-free, and I enjoyed drinking pineapple sparkling wine, resting with juice tastings and sweet samples, and taking photos with the dinosaur in the botanical garden.
Since I was staying in the beach resort area, it was easy to get off the bus first on the way back. During the bus ride, hand sanitization was mandatory, and masks were required. Depending on the facility, hand sanitization and temperature checks were thorough, and bus seating was assigned to avoid crowding.
交通手段が不便な地域の観光なので、効率よく回れてお勧めです。
外の観光は、天気にも恵まれて、美しい海の景観を堪能しました。
朝採り海ぶどうを購入(新鮮で安価)、冷たい生ビールが最高でした。
お昼は個人で自由オーダーを選び、紅芋の冷麺(紅芋の天ぷらは、カラッと揚げたて)を美味しく頂きました。
「美ら海水族館」は期待通り。
海洋博公園内は広大ですが、コロナの影響で観光客も少なく、時間の余裕もあったので、熱帯ドリームセンター・おきなわ郷土村・海洋文化館・エメラルドビーチも楽しみました。(かなり早歩きでしたが・・・熱帯ドリームセンターは、個人的にお勧めです)
夕立があり、パイナップルパークに到着。屋内見学で問題なく、パイナップルスパーリングワインを飲み、試飲のジュースや試食スィーツで疲れを休め、植物園のダイナソーと写真を撮って楽しみました。
ビーチリゾート地区に宿泊していたので、帰りは最初に降車で、楽でした。

On the cruise around Iriomote Island, the female captain was skilled in both guiding and maneuvering the boat, providing detailed explanations about the mangroves that were very easy to understand. The bus driver also gave us a tour of the island, which allowed us to hear more about Iriomote than we had expected. We were fortunate to see the adorable sight of a mother water buffalo and her newborn calf, as it coincided with the calving season. The water buffalo pulling the cart was very gentle and smart, making us feel a bit guilty for having it carry our weight. Although it was a short time, we enjoyed a relaxing experience with the sound of the sanshin and the boatman's singing. If I had to say something, there were many explanations about the Iriomote wildcat, so I wished I could have seen a specimen or photos somewhere.
In the afternoon on Taketomi Island, we initially planned to only rent bicycles and not ride the water buffalo cart. However, as soon as we arrived at the Taketomi Island Tourist Center, a female employee quickly asked, "What about the water buffalo? Aren't you riding? Bicycles? Fill this out!" I was confused about where to write what, and as I hesitated, she let out a big sigh and left the area, glaring at us from a distance. We were left unattended, but later, another employee helped us, and we were able to rent bicycles. However, the childish behavior we encountered right after arriving on Taketomi Island ruined the excitement we had been looking forward to. It was frustrating to see an employee who seemed to be annoyed when tourists didn't follow the routine they expected. To be frank, I believe that the tourism and hospitality industry is not suited for such individuals. If they want to work at their own pace, they should choose a desk job at home. In hindsight, I even wish I had scolded her on the spot for her rude behavior. The first employee at the Taketomi Island Tourist Center would likely realize this was about her if she saw it.
While the response from the other employees was good, it was disappointing that just one person left a negative impression. Of course, Taketomi Island itself was a wonderful place, so when I visit again, I hope to enjoy my trip without relying on the Taketomi Island Tourist Center.
西表島のクルーズでは女性の船長さんでガイドも操縦も上手、マングローブを詳しく説明してくれてとても分かりやすかった。送迎バスのドライバーさんも島内の案内をしてくれるので思っていた以上に西表島の話しを聞くことができて良かったと思う。由布島の水牛もちょうど子牛が生まれた時期と重なり可愛らしい親子の姿を見せてもらうことも出来ました。水牛車を引く水牛はとても大人しくお利口さんで重たい私達を運んでもらうのが申し訳なくなるほど。短い時間でしたが三線と船頭さん?の歌声でのんびりした時間を楽しむことが出来ました。しいて言えば西表やまねこの説明が沢山あったのでどこかで剥製や写真などでも見てみたかった。
午後の竹富島では水牛車には乗らずレンタサイクルのみの予定でしたが、到着後竹富島観光センターに着くなり女性の従業員が水牛は?乗らないの?自転車?これに記入して!と矢次早に言われどこに何を書いて良いのか分からずに戸惑っていると「はぁーっ」と大きなため息をつかれその場を離れていき離れたところからからこちらの様子を伺いを睨みつける始末。放置された私達でしたがその後他の従業員さんが対応して下さり無事に自転車を借りることができたのですが、竹富島到着後すぐにこのような子供じみた対応をされ楽しみにしていた気分は台無しにされました。暑い中毎日同じルーティン作業で観光客が思った通りに動かないと面倒になり不貞腐れる従業員。はっきり言わせてもらいますが観光業、接客業は向いていない。自分のペースで仕事をしたいのならデスクと向き合う在宅の仕事を選んだら?と言いたい。というか今となればその場で叱り飛ばしてやれば良かったとさえ思うほど腹の立つ対応だった。竹富島観光センターの最初に担当した従業員がこれを見たら自分の事だと察しが着くでしょう。
他の従業員さんの対応は良かっただけにたったその1人のせいで残念な思いが残ってしまった。
もちろん竹富島自体はとても素敵な所でしたので次回訪れる時は竹富島観光センターにはお世話にならず楽しめる旅にしたいと思います。

Thank you very much for participating in the Ishigaki Island Dream Tour's remote island tour.
Upon reviewing your feedback, we confirmed with the local staff that, as you pointed out, their response did not meet your expectations, which caused you to feel uncomfortable. We sincerely apologize for this.
We have promptly communicated your feedback to the person in charge at the Taketomi Tourist Center, emphasizing the importance of providing service from the customer's perspective. We have received the following responses regarding improvements:
- Ensuring thorough sharing of handover details among reception staff.
- Retraining employees. (Currently, we do not have fixed roles, and there are days when water buffalo drivers and shuttle drivers also handle reception, leading to inconsistencies in service. We will discuss whether there were any issues in the reception process and work on improvements.)
Moving forward, we will strive to enhance our services in cooperation with each remote island facility to ensure that customers who participate in our tours can enjoy and be satisfied with the islands of Yaeyama.
Thank you for your valuable feedback.

・社員の再教育。(現在は担当を固定せず水牛引きや送迎ドライバーが受付に入る日もある為
対応にばらつきがありました。
受付の流れに問題が無かったか、スタッフ間で話合いを設け改善を図って参ります。)
今後もツアーに参加していただいたお客様へ、八重山の島々を楽しんで満足していただくために、
各離島施設と協力関係を築きながらサービスの向上に努めて参ります。
貴重なご意見ありがとうございました。

The wind was strong, but it was a beautiful sunny day, perfect for a tour! I chose the glass-bottom boat and bus sightseeing plan on Taketomi Island, and the bus driver was really great—he took photos for us, showed us how to find star sand, and told us about power spots. I was torn between this plan and cycling when I made the reservation, but choosing this plan was absolutely the right decision! I'm sure if I had chosen cycling, I would have been drenched in sweat (laughs). The bus was cool and perfect! We saw two families of wild boars in the mangroves, and the water buffalo was fun too. I had a wonderful time. Thank you!
風が強かったけど晴天でツアー日和でした!
竹富島ではグラスボードとバス観光プランを選択したのですが、バスの運転手さんが写真を撮ってくれたり、星の砂の見つけ方や、パワースポットを教えてくれたりとすごく良い対応をしてくださったので、予約時にサイクリングと悩みましたがこちらのプランにして大大大正解でした!
きっとサイクリングを選択していたら汗だくでやばかったはず(笑)バス、涼しくて最高!
マングローブでは猪の親子が2組も見れたし、水牛も楽しいし、とても素敵な時間を過ごす事が出来ました。ありがとうございました!

I use this tour every time I go to Okinawa because it allows for a comprehensive sightseeing experience. The variety of attractions keeps it enjoyable without getting boring. It's convenient since they provide bus transportation, so I don't have to rent a car. I highly recommend this tour.
一通りの観光が出来るので、
沖縄に行くたびにこのツアーを利用しています。
観光場所が充実しているので飽きる事なく楽しめます。
レンタカーを借りなくてもバスで案内して頂けるので気楽に行けるので重宝してます、
オススメツアーです。

On the last day in Okinawa, I was wondering where to go until my flight time, and I found this plan that included the limestone cave I wanted to visit, so I made a reservation.
I had a great time at Okinawa World, enjoying the Gyokusendo Cave, an Eisa performance, and taking photos in traditional costumes.
The bus was spacious, and the guide was very cheerful, a great singer, and kind. The price was reasonable, and I was able to make good use of my time, so it was a very satisfying tour.
I highly recommend it!
沖縄最終日、飛行機の時間までどこへ行こうか悩んでいたところ、行きたかった鍾乳洞がコースに含まれているこのプランを見つけ予約しました。
玉泉洞、エイサーのパフォーマンス、伝統衣装を着ての写真撮影など、おきなわワールドで楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
バスもゆったりしていて、ガイドさんもとても明るく歌が上手で親切な方でした。お値段もお手頃で時間を有効に使えたので大満足のツアー。
とてもオススメです!
