All Reviews for Bus Tours

It was great to be able to tour the main attractions in Naha all day. I especially recommend it for those visiting Okinawa for the first time! Since I didn't have a rental car during my two-night, three-day trip, including this tour in the middle made for a fulfilling Okinawa experience.

終日那覇の主要な場所を観光できてとても良かった。特に初めて沖縄にいく人にはおすすめ！今回二泊三日でレンタカーもなかったので、このツアーを中日にいれたところ、充実した沖縄旅行となった。

The weather was cloudy and a bit chilly in some areas, but I was satisfied with the content. When passing by the homes of celebrities, they would inform us and share interesting stories. They also performed songs on the sanshin, and I had a great time. Thank you very much.

I was planning to tour without a rental car and was looking for a tour that would allow me to visit Shurijo Castle, the Valley of Gangala, and Gyokusendo Cave in one day. I found this tour that includes Shurijo Castle and the Valley of Gangala (with a tour inside the valley), which had a perfect schedule for me, so I signed up. The Okinawa World, where Gyokusendo Cave is located, is within walking distance from the Valley of Gangala, so after the tour in the valley, I stayed there and leisurely explored Okinawa World at my own pace before taking a local bus back to my hotel.

On the tour bus, the guide provided detailed explanations about various regions of Okinawa, and they were very kind in accommodating any irregularities on the way back, which was very helpful.

レンタカーなしで観光をする予定で、斎場御嶽とガンガラーの谷、玉泉洞を１日でまわれるツアーを探していたところ、斎場御嶽とガンガラーの谷(谷内ツアー付)に行けるこちらのツアーはまさに都合の良いスケジュールだった為申込みました。ガンガラーの谷から玉泉洞のあるおきなわワールドは徒歩圏内なのでガンガラーの谷内のツアー終了後はそのまま残り、ゆっくりおきなわワールド内を自分のペースで見学をして路線バスで滞在ホテル近くまで帰りました。
ツアーバス内ではバスガイドさんが丁寧に沖縄の各地域を説明してくださったり、帰りは残るイレギュラーにも親切に対応していただいて助かりました。

I was able to create very good memories. While the plan is important for whether the tour is good, I believe that the people involved are even more significant. The tour guide's singing, dancing, storytelling, and responsiveness were all very satisfying. I was also pleased with how the driver went above and beyond my expectations. This tour made me strongly want to visit Okinawa again.

非常によい思い出を作ることができました。ツアーが良いかどうかはプランも重要ですが、何よりも人に拠る点が大きいと思います。ツアーガイドの歌声、踊り、話術、対応等どれも非常に満足がいくものでした。ドライバーも私の要望以上のことをしてくれたことや対応も満足しています。また、沖縄に来たいと強く思わせてくれたツアーでした。

I was able to make very effective use of the morning before my flight departing Naha after 3 PM. The bus guide explained the history of Sefa Utaki using a picture story in the vehicle, and I understood well that the Utaki is a very sacred place.

The approach path has quite a steep slope, so you need to be careful with your footing.

At Okinawa World, I enjoyed seeing the mystical Gyokusendo Cave, the powerful Eisa performance, and various types of Shisa.

那覇15時過ぎ発のフライトまでの午前中の時間をとても有効的に使うことができました。
バスガイドさんが車内で紙芝居を使って斎場御嶽の歴史を説明してくださり、御嶽がとても神聖な場所だということがよくわかりました。
参道はかなり急な坂道を登っていくので足元に注意が必要です。

おきなわワールドでは神秘的な玉泉洞、力強いエイサーのパフォーマンス、いろいろな種類のシーサーなどを見ることができとても楽しかったです。

Since I am a paper driver, I decided to take a bus tour to explore Ishigaki Island, and it was the right choice. This tour had a well-planned itinerary for efficiently sightseeing around Ishigaki Island, and I was satisfied.

私がペーパードライバーのため、今回はバスツアーで石垣島観光をすることにしましたが、正解でした。このツアーでは、効率よく石垣島を観光するプランが練られており、満足しました。

I chose the water buffalo cart on Taketomi Island. While riding the cart, the driver shared interesting facts about the water buffalo and Taketomi Island, and he also sang traditional songs from Taketomi Island, providing attentive service.

竹富島での水牛車を選択しました。水牛車に乗っている間は、操縦士さんが水牛や竹富島に関する豆知識を披露してくれたり、竹富島伝統の唄を歌ってくださったりと、丁寧な接客でした。

Recently, many tour guides don't provide much guidance, but the tour guide for this trip sang and danced, introduced various aspects of Okinawa, and made the bus ride enjoyable! ❗(^^)d

最近の添乗員さんは、ガイド的なことされない所が多いですが、こちらのツアーガイドされた方は、歌って踊って、所々沖縄の紹介していただいて、バスに乗っている最中も楽しく過ごすことが出来ました❗(^^)d

Despite the unfortunate bad weather, I was still able to enjoy myself! Since it was a tour, I could relax and have fun, even on my own!

あいにくの悪天候でしたが、悪天候でも楽しむことができました！！ツアーだったので、安心して楽しむことができ、一人でも満喫することができました！

I was very grateful that I could efficiently visit Iriomote Island, Taketomi Island, and Yufu Island. I wanted to leisurely explore the nearby islands from Ishigaki Island, but access was poor and it was unfortunately raining, so I made a reservation the day before. There seemed to be other tours with similar schedules, but I think this one was the cheapest. On Taketomi Island, there was also free time for strolling, and I was able to enjoy the atmosphere of the island.

西表島、竹富島、由布島が効率よくめぐれて、大変助かりました。石垣島から近隣の島をゆっくり巡りたかったのですがアクセスが悪いのと、あいにくの雨でしたので、前日に申しこみました。似たようなスケジュールでほかのツアーもあったようですが、一番安かったかと思います。竹富島では自由時間もあり散策もでき、島の雰囲気も味わえました。

The guide was absolutely wonderful! I was moved by the fun stories and the performance and singing of the sanshin! I definitely want to use this service again!

ガイドさんが最高に素晴らしかったです！
楽しいお話や三線の演奏と歌に感動しました！
ぜひまた利用したいです！！

The guide, Mr. Nerome, was full of smiles and dedicated in assisting foreign guests. Bravo! He worked hard to share Okinawa's issues through song and dance. Also, the driver, Mr. Oshima, always greeted us with "Welcome back" when we returned to the bus. I was glad to have both of them as guides.

However, what was disappointing, given how great it was, was...

In the email received after the tour, it said,
"We're looking forward to your experience sharing!"
"That was the best time of my life!" "I definitely want to participate again!"
Please share your genuine thoughts to help other travelers!

While I understand there are individual differences, it felt somewhat like there was pressure to write something positive.

外国人のお客さんに対しても笑顔いっぱいで、献身的にご案内くださったガイドの根路銘さん、ブラボーです。歌に踊りに、沖縄の問題を知ってもらおうと頑張っておられました。そして、バスへ戻る際にいつも「おかえりなさい」と声をかけてくださったドライバーの大城さん、お二人にご案内頂けて良かったです。

とても良かったが故に残念だったのが・・・、

個人差もあるかと思いますが、なんだか、良い事を書いてくれと強要されている印象を受けました。

It was a rainy season, but somehow the weather held up, and I was able to enjoy a variety of activities including the water buffalo cart, glass-bottom boat, and exploring the village and beach.

I intentionally jogged and walked around Kaiji Beach, famous for its star sand, and Kondoi Beach, which allowed me to collect shells on the sandy beach and observe plants and insects.

Although I had an afternoon departure, I was able to enjoy myself until 5:00 PM, so I had a great time.

雨の多い時期でしたが、なんとか天気が持ち、水牛車やグラスボート、そして村中やビーチ散策まで一通り楽しめました。
星の砂で有名なカイジ浜やコンドイビーチへは、あえてジョギングとウォーキングで巡ったので、砂浜での貝殻拾い、植物や昆虫などの観察をすることが出来ました。
午後発でしたが、17:00まで楽しめたので、十分に満喫できました。

It was a journey from mid-winter to mid-summer. It was a wonderful experience with nature still largely preserved. One downside was the poor toilet situation in Okinawa, which was concerning. With the Olympics approaching, many tourists will likely visit, so I hope for improvements soon.

What impressed me the most was the wonderful service from our guide! I was moved when they sang Okinawan folk songs accompanied by the sanshin. Their thoughtfulness, smiles, and singing were the best. If I visit again, I would love to ride on that guide's bus.

If I had to mention something negative, it would be the presence of some poorly behaved tourists who didn't respect the schedule. That was disappointing. However, it was still a fun day. I sincerely thank you. Thank you very much.

真冬から真夏への旅でした。
自然がまだまだ残されている素晴らしい観光でした。少し残念なのは

残念でした。しかしながら楽しい一日でした。心よりお礼を申し上げます。
ありがとうございました。

It was affordable and great for visiting famous tourist spots in Okinawa. At Pineapple Park, I ran out of time while exploring the grounds, so I skipped the tour and focused on juice tasting and shopping. This was my second visit to the Churaumi Aquarium, and it was impressive to see the manta rays and whale sharks swimming gracefully. Ocean Expo Park has various attractions besides the aquarium, so even three hours felt short. I think you could easily spend a whole day just exploring Ocean Expo Park.

沖縄の有名な観光場所を見て回るのには手頃で良かったです。
パイナップルパークは園内を回っていると時間がなくなるので、園内見学をパスしてジュースの試飲やショッピングに時間をあてました。
美ら海水族館は2回目ですが、マンタやジンベイザメが悠然と泳いでいるのは見応えがありました。海洋博公園は、水族館以外にも見るところがいろいろとあるので、3時間でも短いくらいでした。
海洋博公園だけでも一日見て回れると思います。

You can visit tourist spots efficiently, and the cost-performance is not bad. The guide was cheerful and the singing was good. There is enough free time at the tourist sites, so you can enjoy yourself thoroughly. I can recommend it for solo travelers.

無駄なく観光地を周れてCPも悪くは無いです。ガイドさんが明るくで歌も良かったです。それなりに観光地での自由時間があるので十分に楽しめます。一人で観光ならオススメできます。

Since it was my first time in Ishigaki Island, I read that island hopping is recommended, so I signed up, and I'm glad I did. Unfortunately, the weather was rainy, but it didn't get strong enough to affect the tour, so that was good.

初めての石垣島でどうせなら、島巡りがおすすめだと書いてありましたので、
申し込みして、よかったです。悪運で天気が雨でしたが、何とかツアーに影響するほど強くはならなかったので、よかったです。

I participated in the courses at Sefa Utaki and Okinawa World. I was given plenty of time at both locations, which allowed me to enjoy them at a leisurely pace. A guide named Tamaki from Toyo Kanko was our bus guide, and she was very charming. She sang a song by BEGIN and introduced Okinawa using her own drawings, making the journey enjoyable as well. I initially joined the tour for the convenience of transportation, but meeting this guide made me really glad I participated. Next time, I would like to join the course for the Valley of Gangala and Sefa Utaki.

斎場御嶽や沖縄ワールドのコースに参加しました。その2箇所で十分に時間をとってもらえたので、余裕を持って楽しめました。
東陽観光の玉城さんという方がバスガイドをしてくださいましたが、とても可愛らしく、BEGINの歌を歌ってくれたり、ご自分で描いた絵を使って沖縄を紹介してくれたり、移動中も楽しめました。移動の利便性だけで参加したツアーでしたが、このガイドさんに会えて、本当に参加してよかったと思いました。
今度はガンがラーの谷＆斎場御嶽のコースで参加したいです。

I participated in the course to visit Sefa Utaki and the Valley of Gangala. On the last morning, I felt like I wanted to relax at the hotel, but I was glad I joined the tour. The time spent at each destination was just right, and I was able to enjoy it thoroughly. It would have been nice if they could pick me up at the hotel, so I could have spent the morning more leisurely.

斎場御嶽とガンガラーの谷へ行くコースに参加。最終日の朝はゆっくりホテルで過ごしたい気持ちもありましたが、参加して正解でした。それぞれの訪問先での時間も丁度良く、十分楽しむことができました。
出来ればホテルまで迎えに来てくれると、朝がもっとゆっくり過ごせて良いんだけどなぁ。

I have traveled to Okinawa several times, and the one-day bus tour was comfortable without having to drive. I would like to use a tour for my next trip to Okinawa as well.

何回か沖縄旅行に来ましたが、1日バスツアーで運転せずに快適でした。次の沖縄旅行もツアーを利用したいと思います。

Despite the rain, I had a great time. During the cruising, it was clear when we could take off the vinyl sheet and when we couldn't, allowing us to see the mangroves properly. For the cycling on Taketomi Island, we were able to borrow rain gear. Since the weather wasn't favorable, I'm thinking of trying again for a second chance.

雨の中でしたが、楽しませていただきました。
クルージングでは、ビニールシートを取って良い時間もそうでない時間がはっきりしていて、しっかりとマングローブを見ることができました。
竹富島のサイクリングでは、雨具を貸していただけました。
お天気に恵まれなかったので、もう一度リベンジしようと思ってます。

The tour itself was fine but most people going from Naha have to be ready to waste 2-3 hours picking up people in other areas before actually going to the attractions. (Same with going back home)

The bus driver was rude af and racist towards the foreigners.

At first I thought the guide was fine but then oops nope changed my mind. In the aquarium it was very windy and we had to stop 3 times in random places outside the building to hear her explanation in Japanese so its like wasting 20-30 minutes while having yourself blown by the strong wind.

And when she distributed the ticket, she called in all of the Japanese passengers first by their names and after all the Japanese have their tickets. She gestured to all the foreigners to come to her and get the tickets by ourselves. Which is very rude and racist.

The tour says it will provide english, chinese and korean guides throughout the whole day but none. Only some random english tapes are played and the guide talks in Japanese a lot throughout the day.

And mind you 60% of the people who joined are foreigners and only 20% speaks English. I genuinely feel sorry for the Chinese and Korean who comes to the tour thinking it will provide them with some guides but no.

Also the bus driver, he makes noises from inside the bus every 5 minutes before the departure time at each spot as if reminding us to hurry up. And he talks to the tourguide keep blaming how the "foreigners" are slow blablabla probably thinking "foreigners" don't understand Japanese.

The bus driver is very racist and rude also the whole tour is just okay.

Went by another company the next day and was surprised at how interactive the guide was plus it was 100 times wayyy better.

I was able to learn about the southern region through the guide's explanations on the bus. The tour of the Gangala Valley had very clear and easy-to-understand commentary, which was great. Additionally, the service of Sanpin tea made it comfortable.

バスでのガイドさんの説明で南部の概要を知ることができました。
ガンガラーの谷のツアーでは、解説もすごいわかりやすくてよかったです。また、サンピン茶のサービスもあり快適でした。

I was worried about not being able to drive, but I had a fulfilling day on the bus tour! I was able to take a nice long nap on the bus too! I had to leave the tour partway due to hotel arrangements, but the bus guide and driver were very kind, and a taxi arrived quickly, so I was able to get to the hotel right away! It was truly the best. I recommend spending a day relaxing on the bus too!

車が運転できなくて、どうしようかと思っていたけど、バスツアーで充実した１日を過ごせました！
バスの中はたっぷりお昼寝もできましたよー！
ホテルの都合で途中離団したのですが、バスガイドさんと運転手さんがとても良くしてくれて、タクシーもすぐに来てくれて、ホテルにもすぐ行けました！
本当に最高でした。
皆さんも１日はバスでのんびりするのもいいですよ〜

i very recomended this tour
you can learn a lot of cultural experience by join this tour

I participated in the tour because I wanted to efficiently see various sights during my short solo trip. The only downside was that I couldn't see Kabira Bay in clear weather. It was my first experience in Ishigaki Island, and I enjoyed visiting various places. During the transfers, the guide's explanations and the sound of the sanshin made it a special tour, organized by the local bus company.

一人旅で滞在期間が短いので効率良くいろいろ見て回りたいと思い参加しました。最高とできなかったのは、川平湾が晴天ではなかったため。
石垣島は初体験、いろいろ見学して、移動中はガイドさんの説明と三線の音色、現地のバス会社主催のツアーだけのことはあります。

I only had about 10 minutes to see the waterfall, so I felt it was a bit of a waste after climbing up. However, I think you can still feel a sense of achievement just by going.

Honestly, I think Kondoi Beach is prettier than Kabira Bay, so it might not be worth going out of your way for it.

The water buffalo experience is quite unique, and since it was in the afternoon, there were fewer tourists, which was nice.

It's a good tour for quick sightseeing, but it might be a bit pricey!

とにかく滝を見る時間は10分くらいしかないのでせっかく登ってももったいないと感じました。ただ行ったという達成感は得られると思います。
川平湾は正直コンドイビーチの方が綺麗なのでわざわざ行かなくてもいいかと思います。
水牛はなかなかできない経験だし、午後なので観光客も少なくいいかも。
手っ取り早く観光するには良いツアーです。でも少し高いかな！

You can take a ride on a water buffalo cart to see the streets lined with traditional Ryukyu architecture and guesthouses. The guide's explanations and the sanshin performances were also enjoyable.

琉球建築の民家や民宿が立ち並ぶ街並みを水牛車に乗って見学します。ガイドさんの説明や三振演奏などもあって楽しめました。

Both Sefa Utaki and the Gangala Valley are valuable experiences thanks to the guide's thorough explanations. It's also convenient for those returning in the afternoon.

斎場御嶽もガンガラーの谷も　ガイドさんの丁寧な説明があってこそ、価値が分かります。午後便で帰るにも便利です。

I went to the meeting place for the bus tour and when I announced my name, it wasn't on the list. While the tour company was checking, I was left waiting in the rain and couldn't get on the bus. Eventually, I was allowed on, but there were no seats available, and I was made to sit in the front row where I couldn't stretch my legs, which was very painful for me since I have a knee injury. I was glad I brought the voucher, but I can't help but wonder what would have happened if I hadn't, since it said, "Submission of the voucher to the local operating company is not required."

This time, since it was in Japan, I could communicate, but I shudder to think what would have happened if it were overseas. I had a good experience with your company in Bangkok and Phuket, and my wife was happy, so I requested your services again, but I was disappointed.

The good thing was that the bus guide was very considerate, and the sight of the whale sharks and manta rays at the Churaumi Aquarium was magnificent. Next time, I will be going to Vietnam during Golden Week, and I plan to rely on your company again. Please ensure there are no troubles.

バスツアーの待ち合わせ場所に行き名前を告げると名簿になく、ツアー会社に問い合わせ中、バスの中に入れてもらえず雨の中待たされるはめになったり、ようやく乗せてもらえることになったが、席がなく普段座らせない足が延ばせない一番前の席に座らせれ、膝を痛めている私にとって大変苦痛でした、バウチャーを持って行ったから良かったけれど、「現地催行会社へのバウチャー提出は不要です」と持って行かなかったどうなっていたか。
今回、日本だったから言葉が通じたが、これが海外だったらと思うとゾッとします。御社とは、バンコクやプーケットでお世話になり妻も喜んでくれたので今回もお願いしたのですががっかりでした。
良かった事は、バスガイドが大変気遣って頂いた事と美ら海水族館のジンベイザメやマンタの水槽の壮観さ素晴らしいものでした。
次回、ＧＷにベトナムに行きます、また御社にお世話になろうと思います、トラブル無いように宜しく
