All Reviews for Bus Tours

I participated on the last day. I was satisfied after sightseeing for half a day and having lunch. It was also nice to be dropped off at the airport.

最終日に参加しました。
半日、観光をしランチも食べて満足でした。
空港で降ろしてもらえるのも良かったです。

I participated with my one-year-old, and it was definitely the right choice to go on a bus tour in the scorching summer heat. Renting a car is expensive, and with lunch included, I didn't have to drive. The bus was always cool, so I didn't have to return to a sweltering vehicle after sightseeing. The bus guide was experienced and provided great commentary, and at the end, they even sang a song with a sanshin, which was fun! I wish it could have been a bit longer. However, I was a little disappointed with the lunch! The scenery was beautiful, though!

一歳の子連れで参加したんですが、真夏の暑い中バスツアーにして正解でした。レンタカーも高いし、昼ご飯も付いていて運転もしなくていいし、
車内は常に涼しく目的地で観光しても激アツの車内に戻らなくても良かったし、バスガイドさんも慣れた感じで案内してくれて最後には三線で歌を歌ってくれたり、楽しかったです♪もう少し長くても良かったかなってくらいです♪
しかし、昼食は少し残念だったかな！
景色は良かったですが！

The guide was very kind. They were also good at singing. They brought a sanshin and taught us how to move our hands while dancing. It was fun.

ガイドはとても優しい。歌も上手。三線も持って来て、踊りの手の振り方も教えてくれました。楽しかったです。

I participated in "Saijō Gushikawa" and "Gangalala Valley" this time. The bus guide and the local guide provided thorough explanations, and the driver was also very kind, making it a very enjoyable tour. I’m truly sorry for causing trouble by forgetting my souvenirs on the bus on the way back. I really appreciate that you returned them to the restaurant where I got off last. Thank you very much. I would like to use Beltora again for my next trip.

今回「斎場御嶽」と「ガンガラーの谷」に参加しました。バスガイドさん現地のガイドさんの丁寧な説明と運転手さんも親切でとても楽しいツアーでした。帰りバスの中に土産物を忘れて迷惑をかけてしまい、本当に申し訳ありませんでした。最後に降りた先のレストラン迄戻って届けて頂き助かりました。ありがとうございました。次回の旅行の時もベルトラさんで行きたいと思います。

I participated in a bus tour by myself for the first time.
As a result, once I got on the bus, I was taken to the destination without getting lost.
At the destination, I had free time to explore at my own pace, and I just needed to return to the bus by the meeting time.
The bus seats were assigned, but they arranged them by group, so I didn't have to sit next to strangers.
Additionally, the bus guide provided information during the journey, making it very enjoyable and it went by in no time.

初めてひとりでバスツァーに参加してみました
結果
バスに乗ってしまえば現地迄迷うことなく連れていって貰え
現地では自由行動なのでマイペースで見学でき集合時間までにバスに戻れば良いだけ
バスの座席も指定席でしたがグループごとにしていただけていました なので私は知らない人と隣どおしになることもなく
またバスガイドさんが現地までの道中案内をしてくださりとても楽しくあっという間でした

It was a bit cloudy, but just barely. It was a slightly cold day for Ishigaki Island. As soon as we arrived, the shuttle bus welcomed us. We took a boat through the mangroves with the water buffalo and bus plan, stopping at points to listen to explanations about various types of plants and animals. The water buffalo seemed to enjoy listening to the sanshin music. It seems that each water buffalo has its own personality, and we enjoyed hearing various stories. Yubu Island is small, but you can explore it all during your free time. We had lunch here. On Taketomi Island, we explored by bus while listening to the guide's stories, and we learned how to collect star sand. Without the tour, I might not have known how to do that. I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Taketomi Island, Yubu Island, and Iriomote Island for the first time.

ちょっと曇り空でしたがギリギリ曇り
石垣島にしては少し寒い日でした
着いてすぐに送迎バスがお出迎え
水牛とバスプランでマングローブはボートに乗って
説明を聞きながらポイントでは止まっていろんな種類の説明を聞きながら…
水牛はのんびり三線を聴きながら
水牛にもいろいろ性格があるようで
いろんな話を聞きながら楽しめました
由布島は小さい島ですが
自由時間で全部回れます

ツアーでなかったらわからなかったかも
初めて竹富島由布島西表島はぜひこのツアーに参加おすすめします

I arrived at the meeting place 40 minutes early, but I wasn't sure where to go. It said "in front of the prefectural office arch," but in reality, I had to look for several buses lined up to figure it out. There were many people wandering around. Even five minutes before the meeting time, no one had arrived at the arch, so I finally went towards the buses and understood where to go.

There is a problem with the meeting location. It would be better to either come to the arch or look for your tour bus. The arch is where school trip students gather.

The tour itself was very good. Next time, I would like to try a full-day tour. I will be going to Okinawa again this year.

待合せ場所に40分まで行きましたが。良くわからない。
県庁前のアーチのと書いてありましたが、
実際は縦列しているバスの幾つかを探さないとわからない。
ウロウロしている方々が沢山いた
５分前になってもアーチの所には誰も来ないので
バスの方へ行ってやっとわかった。

集合場所に問題がある。アーチへ来るか、自分のツアーのバスを探して下さい。とどちらかにした方がいい。
アーチは修学旅行生が集合する。

ツアー事態はとても良いです。
次回は１日ツアーを行ってみたいです。
今年又、沖縄行きます。

I participated in a tour around the Yaeyama Islands, and at each destination, there was a guide who provided precise instructions for the next transportation, allowing us to smoothly experience a lot of activities! The mangrove cruise on Iriomote Island and the round trip water buffalo cart to Yufu Island were such precious experiences that I will never forget! The only moment I panicked was when the tour guide said the return boat was at 17:00, so I took my time writing postcards at the souvenir shop, only to find out that the departure was actually at 16:50, and I almost missed it. Thankfully, I made it in time, so it turned into a funny story. Thank you very much for such a valuable experience!

八重山諸島の島を巡るツアーで、行く先々でガイドの方がいて次の乗り物を的確に指示してもらえるので、めちゃめちゃスムーズに沢山のアクティビティを経験できました！
西表島のマングローブクルーズと由布島への往復水牛車は貴重な経験すぎて一生忘れません！
一個だけ慌てたのは帰りの船がツアー案内では17:00とあったのでお土産屋さんでハガキを書いてゆっくりしてたら実は出航が16:50で、あわや乗り遅れるところでした。間に合ったので笑い話ですが。笑
とっても貴重な経験をさせていただきありがとうございました

I considered the time allocation for the children's restroom and walking pace, and I was always carrying them or moving at a brisk pace (laughs).

At Manzamo, there was a children's restroom, and my child was delighted♪ The sata andagi on the second floor was also delicious.

At Churaumi, we focused mainly on the dolphin show and the sea turtles, and decided to move quickly through the other areas!

The sandwich service was included, and the guide's humor-filled talk, along with singing folk songs and touching on history, made everything very satisfying!

On the way back, my child fell asleep, but when we got off, they helped carry our luggage and were very considerate^^ It became a memorable trip♪ I think it was an incredible deal.

時間配分は子どものトイレ、歩行ペースを考え、
常に抱えて歩いたり、かけ足気味でした(笑)


万座毛には【こどもトイレ】があり我が子は
喜んでいました♪2階のサーターアンダギーも
美味しかったです。

美ら海ではイルカショーとウミガメの辺りをメインに
他はサクサク進むと決めて周りました！

サンドイッチのサービスも着いていて
ガイドさんのユーモアあふれるトークも
民謡も唄って下さったり歴史にも触れられ
全て大満足です！

帰りは子どもが寝てしまいましたが降車時
荷物運んで頂いたり、気にかけて下さりました^^
思い出に残る旅となりました♪
とても破格だと思います

There were about 12 to 13 participants on the day, so the bus was spacious. We were able to visit the points efficiently, and it was a fun tour. The guide and the bus company staff were very pleasant and attentive. Next time, it seems like it would be even more enjoyable to explore with a rental car.

当日の参加者は１２−３ 人だったので、バスはゆったりできました。またポイントを効率良く回れ、楽しいツアーでした。ガイドさんもバス会社の人もとても感じがよく、気遣いも十分。
今度は、レンタカーで回ってみたら、より楽しめそうです。

Starting with the friendly reception staff at the bus company, and the fun storytelling of our professional bus guide, Chieko, I’m really glad we chose this company! (I’m not sure if there are other companies in Ishigaki.) We were blessed with great weather and truly enjoyed the beautiful Ishigaki Island. But it was hot! The air-conditioned bus was a blessing! The only downside (?) was that the bus seats were a bit narrow for my American husband. But that’s just something he can fix by losing some weight! We were dropped off directly at the airport, and it was the perfect length for sightseeing. I highly recommend it. I hope you get Chieko as your guide!

バス会社のフレンドリーな受付の人達に始まり、プロのバスガイドの千恵子ちゃんの楽しい話っぷりと、この会社を選んでよかった！　(石垣に他の会社があるのかは知りませんが) 天気に恵まれ、本当に綺麗な石垣島を満喫できました。　でも暑かった〜。　キンキンに冷えたバスが有り難かった！　　唯一の難点(？)はアメリカ人の主人にはバスの椅子がちょっと狭かったかな〜？　でもこれは彼が痩せれば良い話です〜　　そのまま空港に降ろして頂き、ちょうど良い長さの観光でした。　お勧めです。　千恵子ちゃんにあたるといいね！

It was a short morning bus tour, but I really appreciated the guide's thoughtful care and the detailed explanations about Okinawa during the ride. Thank you very much.

短い午前中のバスツアーでしたが、ガイドさんの細やかな気遣いや車中では沖縄に関しての詳しい説明がとてもありがたく思いました。
ありがとうございました。

This tour was very fulfilling for the price and duration. The choice of sightseeing spots was satisfying, and I was able to enjoy it even as a solo traveler. Thank you very much.

今回のツアーは値段と時間の割にとても充実したツアーでした。どこも満足の行く観光地のチョイスで ひとり旅でも充分楽しめました。
ありがとうございました

When I rode the water buffalo cart in Yufu, I was able to spend a very relaxed and peaceful time swaying gently in the slowly moving cart. I was impressed by how the water buffalo skillfully turned without colliding on the narrow paths of Taketomi Island.

由布・竹富島での水牛車に乗った際は、ゆっくりと進んでいく水牛車に揺られながらとてもゆったりとした穏やかな時間を過ごすことができました。
竹富島では細い道もぶつかることなく上手に曲がる水牛はすごいと感動しました。

I thought it might be hectic, but it was nothing like that at all; I was able to fully enjoy the island for the first time. The food was delicious too!

バタバタかなぁと思いましたが全くそんなことは無く、初めての島を満喫できました^ ^
ご飯も美味しくてよかったです！

It was June, during the rainy season, so there were only four participants, including my husband and me. Although the number was small, the bus interior was relaxing, and the guide provided various explanations right after we boarded, which was enjoyable.

When visiting for sightseeing, it's easy to focus only on the fun aspects, and I usually don't get the chance to learn about the origins or history of Ishigaki Island. However, on this tour, I was able to hear about the origins of the Tomb of the Chinese and the tidal flow of Kabira Bay, see wild palm trees, and listen to stories about encounters with habu snakes, which was enjoyable. Of course, the guide also shared stories and songs passed down in Ishigaki Island, and I was most surprised by the guide's skill in playing the sanshin and singing! I even wondered if they might be a professional.

Out of the four participants, one person got off at Ishigaki Airport, but they seemed to have enjoyed themselves and waved goodbye to the bus with a smile. It’s a journey around Ishigaki Island that feels like it’s possible yet elusive, so I had a great time participating and learning various things.

6月の梅雨時だったせいか、当日は私たち夫婦を含めて４名の参加でした。人数が少なかったけれど、バス車内はゆっくりくつろげるし、乗車してすぐにガイドさんがいろいろ説明してくれて楽しかった。

観光で行くと楽しいことばかりに目が行ってしまって、石垣島の由来とか歴史なんて学ぶ機会はないですが、このツアーでは唐人墓の由来とか、川平湾の潮の流れとか、野生の椰子の木を見たりハブとの遭遇話など聞けて楽しかったです。もちろん、石垣島に伝わる話や歌も披露してくれて、実は一番びっくりしたのは、ガイドさんの三線と歌の上手さです！実はプロなんじゃないかな？と思ったくらいです。

参加者４名のうち、おひとりが石垣空港で下車されましたが、その方も楽しまれたようで笑顔でバスを見送ってくださいました。
石垣島をぐるっと島を巡る旅は行けそうで行けないので、今回参加していろんなことを聞けて楽しかったです。

Since we participated with 10 people, the schedule was efficient, and the time spent at tourist spots when getting off the bus was appropriate. The time spent at the Churaumi Aquarium was also just right, allowing everyone to enjoy themselves.

10名で参加したので、スケジュールが効率よくバス下車の際の観光スポット滞在時間も適切でした。美ら海水族館での滞在時間も適当で其々で楽しむことができました。

Although the weather was unfortunately sometimes pouring rain, the guide's explanations and songs were enjoyable. There were many water buffalo, each with their own personality, and the veteran, Rekio, that I rode was very cute with his silly antics, making me laugh several times along the way. I think if the weather had been better, I could have enjoyed the scenery even more, but I was more than satisfied just riding the water buffalo cart. Is there a possibility of a repeat to ride different water buffalo carts?

時折土砂降りのあいにくの天候ではありましたが、
ガイドさんの説明や歌が楽しかったです。
水牛は何頭もいて、それぞれ個性があるらしく、
私が乗ったベテランのレキオくんは、おとぼけぶりがとても
かわいく、道中何度も笑わせてくれました。
天気がよければ、もっと景色が楽しめたとは
思いますが、水牛車に乗るだけでも十分満足しました。
いろんな水牛車に乗るためにリピートもあり？？

Since I was traveling alone in Okinawa, I thought about renting a car but decided to join a tour instead. I was impressed by the detailed explanations of the history of Sefa Utaki. I was amazed by the power of Sefa Utaki, enjoyed Okinawa World, and it was a satisfying tour.

一人で沖縄旅行なので、レンタカーもどうかと思いツァーに参加しました。斎場御嶽の歴史をていねいに説明いただき、感激しました。斎場御嶽のパワーに驚き、沖縄ワールドも楽しみ、満足なツァーでしたしました

It was great that we could efficiently visit the main islands and major tourist spots. Since there isn't much to see on the islands, I think it's better to do a tour and cover everything at once.

主要な島を、主要な観光スポットを効率よく回れたので、すごく良かった。島の観光に時間をかけても、特に見るところがないので、ツアーで一気に回ってしまった方が良いと思う。

I participated because all the places I wanted to visit were included! Overall, my impression is that the time spent at each location was short, and I was constantly on the move, running a bit, haha. At the Churaumi Aquarium, I was able to see the dolphin show, but the parking lot was far away, so I was cutting it close for the meeting time, haha. At the Okashi Goten, since I visited in the evening, the sweet potato tart I was looking forward to was sold out, which was disappointing. However, the guide was friendly, and I had a great time. Thank you!

行きたいところが全て組み込まれていたので参加しました！
トータルの感想としては、ひとつひとつの滞在時間が短くて、終始小走りで移動してました笑
美ら海水族館はイルカショーまでみれましたが、駐車場までが遠いので集合時間ギリギリ笑
お菓子御殿では夕方の訪問だったので、お目当ての紅芋タルトが完売で残念でした↓
ただ、ガイドさんもフレンドリーだし、楽しい時間を過ごせてよかったです。ありがとうございました！

I participated with my sister during the middle of our 3-night, 4-day trip. My goal on Ishigaki Island was to ride a water buffalo cart. I rode twice, once with the buffalo from Yubu Island and once with the buffalo from Taketomi Island. It was my first time learning that the types of buffalo were different. I was fortunate to encounter gentle buffalo in both cases.

Additionally, the guide was wonderful and let us listen to Okinawan folk songs. The colors of the sea visible from the boat to the island were stunning. It became the best memory.

３泊４日の中日に姉と参加しました。石垣島での私の目的は水牛車に乗ることです。由布島の牛と竹富島の牛の２回乗車しました。それぞれ牛の種類が違うのは初めて知りました。どちらも穏やかな牛に当たったのでよかったです。
また、ガイドさんもいい方で沖縄民謡も聞かせてくれました。
島に渡る船から見える海の色がいろいろな色に見えます。最高の思い出となりました。

On the last day of my trip, I participated with the goal of being taken to the airport, but I was glad I could effectively sightsee during the last half day. The Super Eisa Show at Okinawa World was especially great. It was an impressive show that energized me. Having a half-day tour allowed for efficient sightseeing, which was wonderful. I will use this service again.

旅行最終日、空港に送って貰うのが目的で参加しましたが最後の半日も有効に観光出来て良かったです。とくに沖縄ワールドのスーパーエイサーショーは凄く良かったです
迫力があり元気を頂けるショーでした。
半日のツァーも有ると効率良く観光出来て良かったです。また利用させて頂きます。

I've ridden a water buffalo cart several times before, but the satisfaction really depends on the stories told by the guide. This time, the guide's simple yet charming storytelling and the performance on the sanshin perfectly matched the slow life atmosphere I was looking for, and I was very satisfied. There was also a cute incident where the buffalo wouldn't move, which turned into a fun memory and made for a great experience.

水牛車は初めてではなく、数回乗ったことがありますが、添乗するおじいの話によって満足感が左右するものです。今回のおじいは、私の求めるスローライフな雰囲気を味わうに丁度良い朴訥なしゃべりに三線の演奏、とても満足のいくものでした。途中牛が動こうとしないという可愛いハプニングもありながら、それがかえって楽しい思い出になり、良い思い出になりました。

On the last day of my first trip to Okinawa, I wanted to make the most of my time before my flight, so I signed up for a tour. I chose the Okinawa World tour, and it was great to experience traditional Okinawan costumes and see the shows! I would have appreciated about an hour more, but I was satisfied with the affordable price. The guide also shared various stories about Okinawa that I wouldn't normally hear.

初めての沖縄旅行の最終日。フライトまでの時間を有効利用したくて申し込みました。沖縄ワールドのツアーを選びましたが、沖縄衣装の体験やショーも見れてよかったです！あと1時間くらい時間があればありがたかったですが、価格も安く満足です。
ガイドさんも普段聞けない沖縄のいろいろな話もしてくださいました。

Due to the impact of the typhoon, all the activities I had planned were canceled, which brought my mood down. However, in the end, I was able to participate here and created some truly wonderful memories. We were able to visit the tourist spots in Okinawa in just one day, and since we had already decided on the must-visit locations, I felt the duration of our stay was just right. The tour guide was really good at speaking Japanese and made the conversation enjoyable, and the driver was calm, allowing us to relax. Thank you for a wonderful day.

台風の影響で予定していたアクティビティが全てキャンセルになってしまいテンションが下がっていましたが、結果的にこちらに参加させて頂いてとても最高の思い出が出来ました。
沖縄の観光地を1日でまわれて、予めそれぞれの絶対行きたいスポットを決めていたので、私的には滞在時間は丁度良いと感じました。
添乗員さんも日本語が本当にお上手でお話も楽しく、運転手さんも穏やかで安心して過ごせました。
素敵な1日をありがとうございました。

It was great that the guide accompanied us and provided information about Okinawa throughout the journey. However, it was disappointing that the entrance fee for Shurijo Castle was separate and that there was no group discount. I felt that the time spent there could have been shorter, and it might have been better to allocate more time to Okinawa World. Since the departure time was early, I gave up on having breakfast at the hotel, but waiting for the opening time was understandable considering the traffic. In any case, I felt that two hours at Okinawa World was not enough to see two shows, so I would prefer a plan without Shurijo Castle altogether.

ガイドさんが同乗してくれて、移動中も終始沖縄のガイドをしてくれる所は非常に良いが、斎場御嶽の入場料金が別途で、団体割引きの適用も無いのは残念、そこでの時間はもっと短くて、沖縄ワールドを多めにしても良いのではと、感じた。出発時間も早いのでホテルの朝ごはんを諦めたのに開場時間待ちしたのも、まぁ、渋滞考慮で仕方ないのかも知れないが、って感じ。兎に角、沖縄ワールドで２時間ではショーを２つ見るのも厳しいと感じたので、いっそのこと斎場御嶽はなしのプランを希望します。

It was a compact half-day tour featuring a mangrove forest cruise and a water buffalo cart ride, and it exceeded my expectations, leaving me very satisfied.

During the mangrove forest cruise, the captain's witty storytelling made learning about the mangrove ecosystem and the animals living there enjoyable and educational. After the cruise, we took a bus to the water buffalo cart boarding area, where the driver's entertaining narration provided us with various insights about Iriomote Island, making the travel time very enjoyable.

On the way to Yubu Island via the water buffalo cart, we listened to live performances of the sanshin while receiving explanations filled with love for the water buffalo. I learned that water buffalo have an intelligence level comparable to that of a five-year-old child and that each buffalo has its own unique personality, which made them even more endearing and soothing to me.

For those with limited time, I highly recommend this tour, which captures the essence of Iriomote Island. I can confidently say that you will not regret it.

マングローブ林のクルーズと水牛車がメインのコンパクトな半日ツアーでしたが期待以上に大満足な内容でした。
マングローブ林のクルーズでは船長さんの軽妙な語り口でマングローブ林やそこで暮らす動物たちの生態を楽しく教えていただき大変勉強になりました。
クルーズ終了後はバスで水牛車乗り場まで向かうのですが、その道中も運転手さんの楽しい語り口で西表島について色々教えていただき大変楽しい移動時間でした。
そして水牛車で由布島に向かう道中は行きも帰りも三線の弾き語りを聞きながら、水牛愛にあふれた解説をうかがうことが出来ました。水牛は5歳児程度の知能があるとのことで、またそれぞれの水牛には特有の性格があるとのことで、益々水牛が可愛く思えて癒されました。
時間が限られている方には西表島のエッセンスが盛り込まれたこのツアーを強くお勧めします。決して後悔されることはないと断言できる内容でした。

It was my first trip to Okinawa. Since I only stayed for two nights, this bus tour allowed me to visit several famous spots, making it a very meaningful day. Some places were a bit short on time, but I was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery. The admission fee for the Churaumi Aquarium was included, and there was also a service for delicious sandwiches, which made it feel like a great deal. The guidance from the veteran tour guide was also very good.

初めての沖縄旅行でした。２泊という短い滞在だってので今回のバスツアーで名所を何箇所も回れてとても有意義な一日でした。若干時間の短い場所もありましたが、美しい風景を楽しめました。美ら海水族館の入館料も含まれ、美味しいサンドウィッチのサービス等もあり、とてもお得感がありました。ベテランガイドさんの案内もとても良かったです。

I made new discoveries on the tour of Iriomote Island, the sightseeing in Yufu Island, and the tour of Taketomi Island. I believe there are still more to come, right? I want to go to Ishigaki Island again. Maybe next time, I'll play golf on Kohama Island?

西表島のツアー、由布島観光、竹富島ツアーと新しい発見。まだまだこれからもっとあると思いますね？これからも、石垣島に行きたいと思ってます。今度は、小浜島でゴルフですかね？
