All Reviews for Bus Tours

I was able to adjust to the final travel itinerary, and they even took me to the airport. I was able to make effective use of my time. The explanation about the Gangala Valley was also very good. The bus guide had a very nice voice and provided great guidance.

旅行最終日程に合わせることが出来て、しかも空港まで連れていってくれる。時間を有効に使えました。ガンガラーの谷も説明があり、とてもよかったです。ﾊﾞｽ　ガイドさんもとてもいい声で案内してくれました。

I was worried about the rain forecast from the previous day, but I'm glad that the weather forecast for Ishigaki Island was unreliable. The weather was great, and I had a lot of fun. Additionally, it was inexpensive due to the ongoing campaign. I missed the free pickup bus, but I managed to board the boat on my own. I almost ended up having to cancel.

前日の雨予報でどうなるかと思いましたが、石垣島の天気予報はあてにならなくて良かったです。天気も良く、とても楽しかったです、また、キャンペーン中で安かった。無料のピックアップのバスに乗り遅れましたが、なんとか自力で乗船できました。危うくキャンセルになるところでした。

Anyway, I was moved by how beautiful Kabira Bay is. There were foreign ships coming in, and it was fun to experience the atmosphere with so many Westerners around.

とにかく川平湾がきれいで感動しました。外国船が入国していて欧米人がいっぱいで外国気分も味わえて楽しかったです。

Saijo-ji Gokoku was disappointing as there were restricted areas due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and I couldn't see Kudaka Island. However, at the Gangala Valley, there was a guide, and I was able to quietly enjoy Okinawa's history and mystery.

斎場御獄はコロナ禍で立ち入り禁止エリアもあり、久高島も望めず、残念でした。
ガンガラーの谷はガイドもあり沖縄の歴史と神秘を静かに堪能できました。

Fourth visit to Okinawa, solo trip.
After the COVID-19 pandemic, it was about time to travel again, and with the nationwide travel subsidy, the bus was almost full and bustling.
Churaumi Aquarium:
There used to be three whale sharks, but now there is only one, and the large tank looks lonely (-_-;) The dolphin show at Okichan Theater was enjoyable even for a solo traveler, with the children's cheers adding to the fun. They are so talented!!
Kouri Island:
I only visited the beach and the roadside station for souvenirs, so I was disappointed that I couldn't go to Heart Rock Tower. The bridge leading to Kouri Island is beautiful no matter when you visit.
Chatan American Village:
It's Christmas Town all year round. The delicious food left me not only in a good mood but also completely satisfied. The sunset at the end was the best.
I appreciate the long bus journey, safe driving, and the support from the guide.

沖縄４回目の訪問で一人旅
コロナ禍でそろそろ限界、全国旅行給付もありバスはほぼ満席で盛況。
美ら海：
３匹いたジンベイザメが１匹になり大きな水槽がさみしそう(-_-;)
イルカショーのオキちゃん劇場はおひとりさまでも、子供の歓声もあり楽しめました。芸達者でいい！！
古宇利島：
ビーチ、道の駅でお土産のみで、ハートロックタワーに行けなかったのが残念。古宇利島へ続く一本橋は何時行っても素敵の一言
北谷アメリカンビレッチ：
一年中クリスマスタウン＊美味しいごはん、気分だけでなくお腹も大満足です。最後のサンセットは最高
長いバス旅、安全運転、ガイドさんのサポートに感謝です。

The guide's explanations were very easy to understand. Also, the song about the sugarcane fields was really great. I was moved to tears!

ガイドさんのお話がとてもわかり易かった。
また、サトウキビ畑の唄が大変良かったです。涙ちよちよぎれ！

I was interested in the Valley of Gangala and participated in the tour. It was a great tour since it's quite difficult to access places like the Sefa Utaki without a rental car. The Valley of Gangala was explained thoroughly by the guide, and I really enjoyed the nature that you can't experience in the city. I was very satisfied!

ガンガーラの谷に興味があり参加させて頂きました。
なかなかレンタカーがないと斎場御嶽等には行きにくい場所だったので、とてもいいツアーでした。
ガンガーラ谷は、ガイドの方からしっかり説明頂いて、都会では体感出来ない自然を楽しめるツアーでかなり満足しました！

The aquarium took a long time to get to, so I felt a bit regretful that we didn't have enough time to explore. The guide not only provided sightseeing information but also shared insights about the current situation of the U.S. military bases and the feelings of the people of Okinawa, helping us understand the true nature of Okinawa. I found it very relatable and educational.

水族館は移動に時間がかかるので、その分、見学時間が足りなかったのが、少し心残りです。
ガイドさんは、単に観光案内だけでなく、米軍基地の現状や、沖縄の人たちの心情をしっかりとお話されて、沖縄の真の姿を理解させてくださいました。とても共感し、勉強になりました。

The weather wasn't very good, but the high-speed boat was fast and had little sway. It's great that you can step on Iriomote Island and see all the islands in one day! The water buffalo is cute.

てんこうはあまりよくなかったが、高速艇は早く揺れも少ない。一日で西表を踏めてすべての島を遠望できるのでGOOD！
水牛がかわいいぞ。

This time, I traveled without a car, but I wanted to go on a little trip before getting on the plane, so I chose this option. Two-thirds of the group chose Okinawa World. I chose the Gyokusendo Cave, and I enjoyed learning about Okinawa's nature and ancient stories. The guide was also very nice. At the beginning of the tour, we received a metal bottle filled with tea. I thought it was heavy and unnecessary, but since we walked quite a bit, my water supply might not have been enough. However, I wish they had informed us that the bottles would be distributed before getting off the bus.

Unfortunately, the bus seatbelt was broken, and there was trash in the seat, which is why I rated it ★-1. We arrived at the airport a little before 1 PM.

今回は車なしで旅行しましたが、飛行機に乗る前に少しだけ遠出したいなと思い選びました。2/3の方は沖縄ワールドを選ばれていました。
私はガンガラーの谷を選び、沖縄の自然や太古の話を知れて楽しかったです。ガイドさんもとてもよい方でした。ツアーの最初にお茶が入った金属のボトルをいただきます。重いのにいらないよーと思いましたが、それなりに歩いたので、手持ちの水だけでは足りなかったかもしれません。ただバスを降りる前にボトルが配られることを教えてほしかったなと思いました。
残念だったのは、バスのシートベルトが壊れていたことと、座席にゴミがあったことです。このため★-1としました。
13時少し前には空港に到着しました。

The guide's explanations were easy to understand, and she was a wonderful singer. I would love to join her again next time, but I forgot her name; she was the beautiful lady from March 8th.

ガイドさんの説明も分かりやすく歌も上手で素敵な方でした。
又、次回もご一緒して頂きたいと思いますが名前を忘れました3月8日の綺麗なお姉さんでした。

We had a fun departure with the veteran guide's lively talk!

We enjoyed the Okinawa vibe on a remote island accessible by bus, and then headed to the main attraction, the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. There was plenty of time allocated, so we could leisurely enjoy the aquarium without rushing, and we also got to visit facilities that are not easily accessible on our own, which greatly increased our satisfaction! Additionally, it was more affordable than going individually, making it a great value for money.

ベテランガイドさんの軽快なトークで楽しく出発！

バスで行ける離島で沖縄気分を満喫し、
メインの美ら海水族館へ。
たっぷり時間を設けていただけるので、慌てることなくゆっくり水族館を楽しみ、個人ではなかなか行かないような施設にもよっていただけるので
満足度高いです！
また個人で行くよりもリーズナブルに行けたのでコスパいいです。

This is my second time with the water buffalo tour, and this time it was with the Taketomi Tourism Center. The laid-back water buffalo "Mae" stopped several times along the way to take breaks, and we enjoyed the path lined with bougainvillea. There is also a photo service available.

水牛観光は二度目ですが、
今回は竹富観光センターさんでした。
のんびりマイペースの水牛「真栄」君、
途中何度も立ち止まり、休憩しながら、
ブーゲンビリアの道をすすみ、
和みました。
写真サービスも、あります。

It was a very efficient tour where we could visit many highlights in just one day, starting with the Churaumi Aquarium, as well as Kouri Island and American Village.

Additionally, our guide even showcased Okinawan folk songs and played the sanshin, allowing us to enjoy a fun time on the bus.

(On the bus, announcements were made in English, Chinese, and Korean, which made it reassuring for international visitors.)

Next time I go to Okinawa, I would love to take a bus tour again.

「美ら海水族館」をはじめ、「古宇利島」や「アメリカンビレッジ」など、見どころ満載なところを1日で見て回ることができる、非常に効率的なツアーでした。

また、ガイドさんが沖縄の民謡や三線の演奏まで披露して下さったので、バスの中でも楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。

(バスの中では、英語・中国語・韓国語のアナウンスも流れていて、海外の人でも安心できます)

今度、沖縄に行ったらまたバスツアーで観光したいです。

It was a weekday, but everywhere was crowded, making it difficult to take our time exploring within the tour schedule. I was too concerned about the meeting time, and there were many people... so I felt like we had little free time. However, I enjoyed it because we were taken to many sightseeing spots.

平日でしたがどこも混み合ってて、ツアーの時間内ではゆっくり観て回るのはのは難しいですね。集合時間が気になり過ぎて人も多く…自由時間は少なかったかなと？
ですが、沢山観光地など連れて行っていただいたので楽しめました。

I was able to enjoy everything I wanted to see and do on this tour. I do not recommend doing the island hopping on your own. After landing on the island by ferry, there is a distance to travel to the sightseeing spots, so you'll need transportation.

見たいところやってみたいこと、全部このツアーで楽しめました。
離島巡りは個人でやるのはお勧めしません。
フェリーで離島上陸後、観光スポットまで行くのに距離があるので足が必要になります。

My first trip to the three islands was enjoyable, as I was able to efficiently visit places that would be difficult to cover on my own. The only downside was at the Takeubushima Water Buffalo Cart stop, where I felt a bit uncomfortable being asked to buy photos that I didn't want. In this age of smartphones, I think such commemorative photos are unnecessary. I also thought it would be better if we could choose at the beginning whether or not to include a commemorative photo.

初めての3島巡りは、個人では周りきれないスケジュールを効率よく周る事ができ楽しめました。
唯一残念なのは、竹生島水牛車下車庫　欲しくも無い写真を撮られ買わないか？と言うよくあるパターンを断るのにちょっと嫌な気分になりました。
スマホ普及のご時世なのでその様な記念写真はいらないと思います。又最初から記念写真付きか付きじゃ無いか選べたら良いとも思いました。

It was a tour with two middle-aged men, but I was able to participate feeling great. I think it would be better if there were a bit more time for restroom breaks along the way. The mothers with children seemed to have a tough time.

初老のオヤジ二人のツアー参加でしたが、ただただ気分良く参加出来ました。
途中でのトイレ休憩にもう少し余裕があれば良いのではと思われます。
子ども連れのお母さんが大変そうでした。

I'm glad I was able to visit several tourist attractions even without a car! At American Village, I think it would be difficult to take photos and leisurely enjoy meals or shopping at the same time. As for the Churaumi Aquarium, it depends on the person, but I felt it was just the right amount of time. I did have to hurry a bit, but I enjoyed the large tank, other exhibits, and the dolphin show. I recommend it!

車を持っていなくても、いくつかの観光名所を回れて良かったです！！
アメリカンヴィレッジは写真を撮っていたらご飯とか買い物をゆっくりすることは難しいと思います。美ら海水族館は人にもよるとは思いますが、ちょうど良い時間で少し急ぎはしましたが、大水槽やほかのコーナー、イルカショーも楽しめました。
おすすめです。

Since it was a short stay and I didn't have a rental car, I chose this bus tour for my first visit to Ishigaki Island. We toured around the island and enjoyed activities like riding a glass-bottom boat in Kabira Bay, all while being guided by our tour guide, which made the experience very enjoyable. The weather was great that day, and I truly believe the beautiful scenery made it even more enjoyable.

短めの滞在&レンタカーなしの旅だったので、初めての石垣島観光にこのバスツアーを選びました。
島をぐるりと巡り、川平湾ではグラスボートに乗ったりと、ガイドさんに案内してもらいながらとても楽しく観光できました。
当日はとても天気もよく、本当に景色が素晴らしくてより楽しめたとおもいます。

I participated in the New Year event. It was a tour that left my children, who are in 7th grade, 5th grade, and 1st grade, very satisfied. I would like to invite my parents next time. Thank you very much.

お正月に参加しました。
中1、小5、小1の子供達も大満足のツアーでした。
次回は両親も誘いたいと思ってます。
ありがとうございました。

I visited the Okinawa World for the second time, and I was able to enjoy it enough in a short amount of time.

It was great that the guide shared interesting trivia during the bus ride there.

斎場御獄も沖縄ワールド2回目でしたが、短い時間で十分楽しめました。

行きのバスでガイドさんがずっと豆知識を話してたのが良かったです。

The guide was experienced and knowledgeable about everything; I wanted to spend more time with them! I definitely want to use this service again next time!

ガイドさんが、ベテランで何でもご存じで、まだ沢山ご一緒したかったです！
次回も是非利用したいと思いました！

We used this service on the last day of our trip to Okinawa. Since our return flight was at 3 PM, we were taken to the airport, making for a meaningful final day. I think we wouldn't have been able to move around much while being mindful of the time in a place we weren't familiar with. It was great to hear the guide's explanations about Okinawa as well.

沖縄旅行の最終日に利用しました。帰りの飛行機が15時だったので、空港まで送ってもらい、有意義な最終日となりました。
自分達では知らない土地で時間を気にしながら、そんなに動けなかったと思います。
ガイドさんの沖縄の説明も聞けて、よかったです。

I was able to visit the key spots of Ishigaki Island in a short time. The lunch included was a great deal. The guide's explanations and the sanshin performance were also enjoyable.

短時間で石垣島の要所を見学できた。
ランチも付いてお得です。またガイドさんの説明三線も楽しかったです。

Every staff member was kind and it was very nice no matter which island I went to. I regret that I didn't have enough time to go around Yufu Island. I wanted to walk more in nature... The songs and dances of the old lady were amazing. The water buffalo experience was also good and fun.

どの島に行ってもスタッフの方全て親切でとても良かったです。
由布島はちょっと時間が足りず島を一周する事が出来なかったのが心残りです。もっと自然の中を歩きたかったですぅ、、
オバァの唄と踊り最高でした
水牛体験もGOOD楽しかった

I visited Sefa Utaki and Okinawa World. The guide's stories were enjoyable, and it seems like I can share some great Okinawa tales even after returning from the trip. Thank you to the driver for safe driving.

斎場御獄とおきなわワールド行きました。
ガイドさんのお話も楽しく、旅行から帰ってもいい沖縄話しができそうです。運転手さんも安全運転ありがとうございました。

I was able to visit various highlights. The male bus guide was very good with his stable narration.

色々な見どころを回ることができました。男性のバスガイドさん、安定感のある語り口でとてもよかったです。

The transfers between boats and buses were smooth, allowing us to see everything very efficiently. I think this is the advantage of the tour.

船やバスなどの乗り換えがスムーズで、とても効率よく見て回ることができました。ツアーの良さだと思います。

This time, we participated in a tour visiting three remote islands with two families (four adults and five children). I was worried because there were many of us, and we had a one-year-old child, but the staff was very attentive, which was great.

The mangrove cruise on Iriomote Island was enjoyable for the adults. The water buffalo carts on Yubu Island and Taketomi Island provided a wonderful experience for both adults and children, and I felt it was worth participating in the tour! Personally, I really liked Kaiji Beach when we did the bus tour on Taketomi Island. I had been there before but remembered not being able to find any star sand. However, this time the bus driver taught us how to search for it, and thanks to that, we were able to find a lot, and both adults and children were engrossed in the search!

Since it was a nice day, the scenery was also very good, and we were able to spend a fantastic day.

今回、２家族（大人４人、子ども５人）で、離島３島巡りのツアーに参加しました。
人数が多く、子どもは１歳の小さい子もいたので心配していましたが、丁寧に対応してくださいってとてもよかったです。

西表島のマングローブ遊覧は大人が楽しめました。由布島・竹富島の水牛車は大人も子どももよい体験ができて、ツアーに参加してよかったと思いました！
個人的には竹富島でバス観光した際に行ったカイジ浜がよかったです。以前行ったことがあったのですが、星の砂が全然見つからなかった記憶がありました。しかし今回はバスの運転手さんが探し方を教えてくれて、そのおかげでたくさん見つけることができて大人も子どもも夢中になって探しました！

天気がいい日だったこともあり、景気もとてもよく、最高の１日を過ごすことができました。
