All Reviews for Bus Tours

The untouched nature of Iriomote Island was just as I had imagined. I was moved to see that such nature still exists in Japan. Riding the ox cart on Yufu Island and crossing the sea allowed me to feel the leisurely flow of time on a southern island.

西表島の手付かずの自然は想像していたとうりでした。日本にもこんな自然が残っていることに感動しました。由布島での牛車に乗って海を渡る趣は南の島ののんびりした時間の流れを感じる事ができました。

I was able to explore various places in the great outdoors. However, since most of the activities were on a cruise or in a bullock cart, I felt a bit unsatisfied. I wished I could have been a bit more active, especially after coming all this way.

大自然の中、色々巡る事が出来ました。
ただクルーズや牛車での行動がほとんどのためやや消化不良。
せっかくここまで来てのなら、もう少しアクティブに行動できたらと感じました。

I understand that local industries have to rely on tourism, but the heavy push for photos and merchandise feels overwhelming. It would be nice if they could create a simpler tourism experience as well.

地場産業が観光メインで仕方ないとは理解できるが、あまりにも写真だのグッズだのゴリ押し感が重たい。スッキリ観光のみで良いパターンも作ってもらえたら良い

I have been to Okinawa several times for work, but I hadn't really done much sightseeing, so this time, since I had companions, I decided to use a sightseeing bus instead of renting a car. It was very helpful to be able to visit various places without having to research locations or drive myself. The time at each sightseeing spot was short, so I think it would have been even better with a bit more time, but I can't really ask for that (laughs).

On the bus, they even played the shamisen for us. We were able to go to the aquarium without any waiting. It seemed like there were many participants from foreign countries. I would like to use this service again if I have the opportunity.

沖縄には仕事で何度か来ていますが観光らしい観光はあまりしたことがなかったので、今回は同行者もいるということでレンタカーでまわるのでなく観光バスを利用しました。
あちこちまわれ、自分で場所を調べたり運転しなくても良かったのは大変ありがたかったです。各観光場所の時間は短いのでもう少し時間に余裕があればさらに良いとは思うけどそこまで要求はできないので(笑)
バス車内では三味線もひいてくれました。水族館も待つことなくいけた。
外国国籍の参加が多かったようです。また機会があれば利用してみたいです。

The kids went on their first trip to Okinawa.
They participated in their first bus tour.
The sightseeing was fun, but I became even more fond of Okinawa after listening to the guide's stories about it.
Thank you for the wonderful memories.

子供達は初めての沖縄旅行。
初めてのバスツアーに参加しました。
観光も楽しかったんですが、ガイドさんの沖縄に関するお話を聞いて沖縄がもっと好きになりました。
良い思い出、ありがとうございました。

I love aquariums, and I finally got to visit the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. I arrived smoothly from Naha and entered the aquarium. I was amazed by the scale and the tanks, and I was truly moved by the whale sharks. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

水族館大好きで念願の美ら海水族館。那覇からスムーズに到着して入場。想像以上の規模と水槽にビックリ、ジンベイザメには本当に感動しました。素晴らしい体験をありがとうございました。

I was able to experience Iriomote, Yufu, and Taketomi in one day. Although the weather was not great, I thoroughly enjoyed the day thanks to the detailed explanations from the guides on each island.

西表・由布・竹富を1日で体験できました。
天気がいまいちだったのは残念でしたが、
各島でガイドさんから丁寧に説明していただき
1日を満喫することができました。

I wanted to visit Sefa Utaki, and I originally signed up for a different tour, but it was canceled, so I participated as a backup. I had to choose between Shinbaru Beach and Okinawa World, but I could change my mind until we arrived at Shinbaru Beach. During the ride to the Peace Memorial Park, the guide shared the tragic circumstances of the war, and I almost teared up. I think it's worth a listen. However, the bus felt like an old tourist bus, and the seats were cramped...

斎場御嶽に行ってみたくて、本当は別のツアーに申し込みましたが催行されずキャンセルとなり滑り止めとしての参加。
新原ビーチとおきなわワールドのどちらかを選択するんですが、新原ビーチに到着するまでに変更も可。
ひめゆりの塔に向かう車内でガイドさんが戦争当時の悲惨な状況を語ってくれたんですが、思わず涙ぐみそうになりました。一聴の価値はあると思います。
ただ、バスは昔の観光バスって感じで座席は狭かった…

It was a tour full of highlights, allowing us to fully enjoy the best aspects of each island. The hotel pick-up service was also a great help.

みどころ満載で、
各島々の良いところを満喫でき、
とても有意義なツアーでした。
ホテル送迎もすごい助かりました。

Although I am from Okinawa, my children have not grown up there, so we are currently visiting during summer vacation. I thought it would be a great opportunity for them to learn more about Okinawa from a historical perspective and as a tourist destination, so I signed them up for this tour on their own.

We have visited the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium and Ryukyu Village many times as a family, but it seems that the explanations from the kind and interesting guide left a lasting impression on them. The guide's thoughtfulness and the way they engaged the children during the tour made them very happy. I realized that even local participants can enjoy this tour. Thank you very much.

沖縄出身ではあるのですが、子供たちは沖縄で育ってきてはいないので夏休みで里帰り中ということもあり、地元沖縄を歴史的な観点や観光地として見て、ガイドさんの説明を聞いて沖縄をもっと良く知るための好い機会だと思い、子供たちのみでこのツアーに参加申し込みしました。
美ら海水族館・琉球村は家族で何度も出かけてはいたのですが、優しくておもしろいガイドさんの説明は心に残ったようです。ガイドさんのお気遣い、ツアー中の話の盛り上げ方にも子供たちはすごく喜んでいました。地元の方たちが参加しても楽しいツアーになるんだなと思いました。ありがとうございました。

The emerald green sea and the sight of fish swimming gracefully felt just like the Dragon Palace. I was moved by the guide's storytelling, singing, and dancing that conveyed Okinawa's history and culture. I felt a mysterious power of Okinawa in the guide's words, "If you speak your dreams, they will surely come true." Thank you for the energy. Even though I was tired, it felt like strength surged within me. I can keep going again. Thank you, guide, for the sea and sky of Okinawa.

まさにエメラルドグリーンの海と、魚達が優雅に泳ぐ姿はまるで竜宮城の様でした。
ガイドさんが沖縄の歴史と文化を歌や踊りや語りて伝えてくれて感動しました。
ガイドさんの「夢は言葉に出したら必ず叶うから」との言葉に不思議な沖縄のパワーを感じました。元気をありがとうございます
疲れていたのに嘘のように力が湧いてきました。
また頑張れます。
ありがとうガイドさん、沖縄の海と空

It was a tour during the approach of a typhoon, but when we got off the bus, it wasn't raining, making for a comfortable experience. The Churaumi Aquarium was more impressive than I had expected, and time flew by.

台風が近づく中のツアーでしたが、バスを降りるときは雨が降らず、快適なツアーになりました。美ら海水族館は思っていた以上の迫力で、時間があっという間に過ぎました。

Try to spend more time at the Pineapple stop.
Kind Regards

The ox cart was amazing! I was impressed by the hardworking water buffalo. I definitely want to visit again. I was able to enjoy the three islands smoothly without any confusion! I think it's truly unique to the tour experience. Next time, I would like to participate in tours to Kuroshima and Hateruma Island.

牛車、最高でした！
働き者の水牛に感動。また必ず会いに行きたいと思います^ - ^
3島、迷い事もなくスムーズに堪能できました！
やはりツアーならではだと思います。
次回は黒島や波照間島などのツアーに参加したいと思います。

The review was indeed good as mentioned. The seats on the left side are recommended as they face the sea. You need to check in at the bus terminal 15 minutes before departure.

The male guide (estimated age 60-65) and the staff from To Transport were very pleasant, making me think it's a good company.

The guide's storytelling was engaging and entertaining, and he was skilled at playing the sanshin and singing island songs. The travel time was short, so it wasn't tiring. It's also convenient that on the morning trip, you can be dropped off at the airport on the way back.

Although the weather forecast predicted sunny weather, it rained at Kabira Bay, which was disappointing, but the glass boat experience was still enjoyable. For lunch, I had a hearty hamburger set at Auntie Poza's diner with a nice view. However, the taste was just okay. Normally, a meal here costs 1,100 yen, so the sightseeing bus ticket is effectively 3,500 yen. The price and content are reasonable.

こちらの口コミ通り良い内容でした。座席は左が海側なのでおすすめ。
15分前までにバスターミナルで受付します。
名ガイドの男性(推定60-65歳)をはじめ、東運輸の受付の方もとても感じが良く、いい会社なんだと思います。

ガイドさんの話は名調子で面白く、三線も島唄も上手。移動時間も短く疲れません。午前の便のみ帰りは空港で降ろしてもらえるのも便利。

天気予報は晴れなのに川平湾は雨も降り残念でしたがグラスボートはそこそこ楽しめました。
昼食は眺めのよいポーザーおばさんの食堂のハンバーグ定食でボリュームも十分。ただし味はイマイチ。
普通にここで食事すると1100円のメニューなので、観光バスは実質3500円。納得の価格と内容です。

My first water buffalo cart ride was wonderful. The buffalo was cute, and the guide's singing was great. It became a very memorable experience. I had a lot of fun!!

はじめての水牛車は
水牛が可愛くて
ガイドのお姉さんの歌も上手で
とても思い出になりました。
とても楽しかったです！！

I was amazed by the talent of our tour guide, Mr. Kajino (I apologize if the kanji is incorrect), and I could really feel his love for Okinawa. I had a truly wonderful time. He entertained us with songs, dances, and the sanshin, making the time on the bus enjoyable as well.

There were many guests from abroad, and I thought it must be tough for the guide and the driver, but I had a really fun time. It's hard to find such a tour in other prefectures, so I highly recommend it.

Although there were moments of rush due to the short time, it's a great tour for those who want to see a lot in one day.

ツアーガイドさんの梶野さんの(←漢字間違っていたらすみません)芸達者ぷりに驚かされ、沖縄を愛する気持ちが伝わって、本当に素敵な時間を過ごせました。歌や踊りや三線で楽しませてくれて、バスの中も楽しい時間。
外国からのお客様が多く、ガイドさんや運転手さんは大変だろうなぁと思いつつ、すごく楽しい時間を過ごせました。
他の県に行って、なかなかこんなツアーは体験出来ないので、ぜひおススメします。
短い時間で焦るとこもありますが、一日で沢山見たい方は、いいツアーです。

The content was compact and good, and ending at the Himeyuri Monument was the right choice. However, the meeting place (in front of Kenmin Plaza) was hard to find, and I got lost.

内容がコンパクトでよかった、最後がひめゆりの塔で正解。
ただ待ち合わせ場所（県民広場前）がわかりにくく迷った。

I participated in a beach day at Kondoi Beach. Since it was an afternoon tour, the return ferry was at 4 or 5 PM, so we only had a little over an hour at the beach, but it was nice to experience the sandy shore. The sun was strong, so it might be a good idea to bring a mini tent or something similar, even though it adds to your luggage.

コンドイビーチでの海水浴目的に参加。
午後からのツアーなので帰りのフェリー16時か17時なのでビーチの滞在時間は一時間強でしたが砂浜も経験出来たのでよかったです。
日差しが強いので荷物になるけどミニテントなど持っていくと良いかも。

It was an early morning gathering, but the air conditioning on the bus was effective, and there weren't too many people, so I was able to sit comfortably and doze off a bit, which helped me feel energetic during the day. The guide provided clear explanations about the next destination while we were on the bus, which was very helpful.

At Sefa Utaki, I almost slipped even while wearing sneakers, but I was able to take my time to appreciate the site, and it made me feel a sense of solemnity. The time at Okinawa World was a bit short, so I rushed through the limestone cave, but I spent more time on the kimono experience and exploring, and I enjoyed everything.

朝早い集合でしたが、バス内は冷房が効いていて人もそんなに多くなく、ゆったり座れてウトウトできたので、日中は元気に回れました。
ガイドさんが車内で次の目的地の説明を丁寧にしてくれるので分かりやすくて良かったです。

斎場御嶽はスニーカーを履いてても滑りそうになりましたが、じっくり見ることが出来、厳かな気持ちになりました。
おきなわワールドの時間が少し短かったので鍾乳洞を駆け足で回り、着付け体験と散策に時間をかけましたが、どれも楽しかったです。

The guide's fun songs, dances, and easy-to-understand explanations of the local area made for a great experience! I was traveling with my elderly aunt, and we created wonderful memories. If there's another opportunity, I would appreciate your help again.

ガイドさんの楽しい歌や、踊り、分かりやすい土地柄の説明！高齢の叔母と同行でしたが、良い思い出が出来ました。
また機会有りましたら、宜しくお願いします。

I had a wonderful day listening to the guide's fun local stories. In particular, the whale sharks at the Churaumi Aquarium, the dances at Ryukyu Village, and the stunning views at Manzamo left a lasting impression. In the evening, we chose the sanshin live plan, ordered Orion beer and awamori to go with the course meal, and enjoyed a delightful night listening to the live performance while feeling pleasantly tipsy. My wife also really enjoyed it, and we are discussing where to go next.

ガイドさんの楽しいローカルネタなどを聞きながら楽しく1日を過ごすことができました。
特に、美ら海水族館でのジンベイザメ、琉球村の踊り、万座毛の素晴らしい景色が印象に残りました。
夜は三線ライブプランを選択、コース料理に追加してオリオンビールと泡盛を注文し、ほろ酔いでライブを聞きながら楽しい夜を過ごすことができました。嫁さんにもなかなか好評で、次はどこへ行こうかなと話をしております。

I was hesitant due to the morning storm, but I'm glad I participated. It's not easy to go to the southern region alone, but it was efficient to get around. I was amazed by the scale of Gyokusendo Cave.

朝の暴風雨で迷いましたが、参加して良かったです。一人ではなかなか行きにくい南部ですが、効率よく回れます。
玉泉洞のスケールに驚きました。

Although it rained in the afternoon due to the typhoon, we were able to enjoy sightseeing as planned. We also enjoyed the guide's singing and dancing on the bus. It was a fulfilling day with plenty of activities.

台風の影響で午後から雨でしたが、予定通り各地観光できました。
バスの中ではガイドさんの歌と踊りも楽しませていただきました。内容盛り沢山の1日で満足しました。
