All Reviews for Bus Tours

Both the guide and the driver were pleasant, and I thoroughly enjoyed my first trip to Okinawa. The guide's singing and explanations were excellent (which may be a given), and I learned a lot about the history of the landmarks and useful information. Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy and rainy, so it was disappointing not to see the beautiful ocean. There were also a few solo travelers, and being able to chat with them was one of the highlights of the trip. I often use bus tours, and I think 5,900 yen for a tour that includes light snacks is quite reasonable.

ガイドさんも運転手さんも感じが良く、初めての沖縄旅行でしたが満喫できました。
ガイドさんの歌や説明が上手（あたりまえのことかもしれませんが）で名所の歴史やお得情報などよくわかりました。
あいにくお天気が☁や雨だったので綺麗な海が見られなくて残念でした。
一人旅の方も何人かいらしてて、お話ができたのが旅の醍醐味のひとつでしょうか。
よくバスツアーを利用するのですが軽食つきで5900円はお手頃だと思います。に

I was scheduled to return home on a flight at 3:25 PM, and I was wondering what to do in the morning. Since I returned the rental car the day before, I had to use the monorail anyway, so it worked out really well.

I arrived at the airport just after 1 PM, and I was able to enjoy a leisurely lunch and buy some souvenirs. The guide's stories were really fun, and the driver was very safe.

If possible, I would have liked an additional 30 minutes after Okinawa World. I would like to use this service again.

午後3時25分発の飛行機で帰宅予定で、午前何しようか悩んでいたし、前日レンタカーを返したので、どのみちモノレールを使わないといけなかったので、すごく良かったです。
空港には1時過ぎに到着し、昼ごはんをゆっくり食べたり、お土産を買うことも出来ました。
ガイドさんのお話しも凄く楽しかったし、運転手さんも安全運転でした。
できれば沖縄ワールド後30分時間が欲しかったです。
また利用したいと思います。

At first, I was worried because it was cloudy, but the wind cleared the clouds, and I was glad to see the beautiful view. After participating in the tour, I started to pay more attention to the stars.

雲がかかっていたので初めは心配でしたが、風で雲も流れて綺麗に見れて良かったです
ツアー参加後、気にして星を見るようになりました

It was my first time in Okinawa. The weather wasn't great, but it turned into such a wonderful trip that I forgot about it. I definitely want to go again!

初めての沖縄でした。天気がイマイチでしたが､それを忘れるぐらい素敵な旅になりました。また絶対に行きたいと思います！

I visited Sefa Utaki and the Gangala Valley.
The power of nature is incredible!
I was easily taken to these two places by bus.
I recommend that those participating in this tour wear comfortable shoes because you'll be walking in nature! It's not paved, and you'll be walking quite a bit.

斎場御嶽とガンガラーの谷に行きました。
大自然の迫力！
行きたかった2箇所にバスで連れて行って貰えて楽々♪
こちらのツアーに参加される方は歩きやすい靴で行くことをオススメします。なぜなら両方共自然の中を歩くから！舗装されてないし結構歩きます。

The limestone cave was mysterious and a wonderful place. I couldn't see any traditional Okinawan houses from the sightseeing bus, which was just filled with buildings, so I was thrilled to finally see the Okinawan houses on TV.

鍾乳洞、神秘的でした、素晴らしいところですね
沖縄家屋は、観光バスの中からは、ビルばかりで見ることが無く、やっとテレビで見る沖縄家屋が見れて感激です

The view from a sightseeing bus offers different discoveries compared to a passenger car, and you can also listen to the guide's explanations, so it is recommended depending on your purpose.

観光バスからの目線は乗用車とは違う発見があり、ガイドさんの説明も聞けるので、目的によってはおすすめです。

A trip to Okinawa without a rental car. On the last day, I was considering sightseeing at places like the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. Initially, I had planned to take a high-speed boat to enjoy the view from the sea, but due to rough seas, the service was canceled, and I switched to a bus tour. The guide was kind and shared various stories about Okinawa, which were very helpful. Although the weather forecast predicted rain, we were blessed with good weather. Additionally, I had heard that traffic has been terrible lately, but it flowed relatively smoothly, and we arrived at the airport earlier than planned. Thank you very much.

レンタカー無しでの沖縄旅行。
最終日は美ら海水族館等の観光を考えていて、当初は高速船で海からの眺めを計画していたのが、海上時化のため欠航となりバスツアーに切り替えました。
ガイドさんも親切で沖縄について色んな話をしていただき参考になりました。
天気予報も雨☔予想だったが好天に惠まれ、
また、このところ渋滞が酷いとのことだったが、比較適用スムーズに流れて予定より早めに空港に到着出来ました。
有難うございました。

The tour that efficiently covers the mangrove forest cruise in Iriomote, the ox cart ride to Yubu Island, and the charming star sand beach and ox carts in Taketomi Island was absolutely satisfying. I really felt it was worth going, especially since the weather was just right. I highly recommend it for anyone visiting the Nansei Islands for the first time.

西表でのマングローブの林のクルーズ、牛車で行く由布島、星砂の浜と牛車が魅力的な竹富島を効率的に周れるツアーは大大満足。
ギリギリ天候にも恵まれてほんっとに行って良かったなと思います。初めて南西諸島に行く人には絶対お薦めです。

Since you often have the opportunity to ride on boats and there can be swaying due to rain, it's better to have motion sickness medication even if you usually don't get sick! One person felt nauseous and had to drop out, but the staff informed them that they couldn't return immediately.

The weather forecast for Okinawa is unreliable. It's better to have rain gear. There were also people lining up to buy raincoats that looked like they were worth less than 100 yen inside the boat.

船に乗る機会が多いし、雨で揺れることもあるので普段酔わなくても酔い止めあった方が良いです！
1人気持ち悪いと脱落しましたが、すぐには帰れないことをスタッフから言われてました。

沖縄の天気予報あてになりません。
雨具あった方が良いです。
船の中で、見た目が100均以下のカッパ買うために並んでる人もいました。

I was a bit concerned about my physical stamina since I was with my elderly parents, but we used boats, water buffalo carts, and buses, so there were no particular issues. We were able to ride the water buffalo cart twice; the first time we were at the back, and the second time at the front, which was quite enjoyable. Personally, I would have liked a bit more time to explore Yubu Island rather than just the mangrove tour. Overall, I was satisfied with the efficient visit to the three islands. Thank you very much.

高齢の両親と一緒だったので体力的に不安がありましたが、船や水牛車、バスを利用したので特に問題ありませんでした。水牛車も2回乗れて、1回目は最後尾、2回目は最前列と充分楽しめました。
個人的にはマングローブ遊覧より、由布島の散策にもう少し時間が欲しかったです。
効率的に3島巡れて概ね満足です。ありがとうございました。

The guide was kind, and the Churaumi Aquarium, Kouri Island, and the Christmas illumination at American Village were all fantastic.

ガイドさんも親切で、美ら海水族館、古宇利島、クリスマスイルミネーションのアメリカンビレッジ
どこも、最高でした

I participated in a hotel transfer from Onna Village. It was very helpful since I didn't have a rental car. The driver, who drove safely, kindly greeted us with "thank you for your hard work" every time the bus stopped for passengers to get off, and when we returned, he said "welcome back." It was very pleasant. The bus guide was a veteran, and he was great at speaking; his voice was easy to hear, making for a wonderful guiding experience throughout the day.

We visited Manzamo in the rain and then proceeded to the Pineapple Garden. As the guide mentioned, they made efforts during the COVID period, and I could see their creativity, making it more enjoyable than I expected. By the time we headed to Kouri Island, the rain had stopped, the sky was blue, and the sea looked beautiful. It was just around lunchtime, and unexpectedly, we were served delicious sandwiches, which was a delightful surprise. Since we were at a roadside station, we could buy local watermelon and have lunch.

After that, the weather cleared up, and we arrived at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. We had about two hours, so we took the ¥300 internal shuttle bus, which took an hour to go around. The vast grounds were pleasant, with a nice breeze, allowing us to appreciate the beautiful sea, impressive buildings, and stunning nature. After that, we entered the aquarium, where we had plenty of time to see everything. The guide's explanations were easy to understand and made the trip even more enriching.

We started our journey back from the last stop at the Chinsuko Kingdom, and the guide's charm added a nice touch. Thank you for a wonderful day. If I could wish for anything, it would have been perfect if it had been eligible for the national travel support program.

恩納村のホテル送迎付きで参加。レンタカーが無いのでとても助かります。安全運転のドライバーさんはバスが止まって乗客が降りる度にお疲れ様と声をかけて下さり戻るとお帰りなさいとの事。とても感じ良かったです。バスガイドさんはベテランの方でしたがお話が上手で声も聞きやすく素晴らしいガイドぶりで一日中楽しかったです。 雨の中の万座毛 パイナップルガーデンと進みました。パイナップルガーデンはガイドさんも言っていましたが、コロナを期に努力なさったそうで工夫が見られ 思った以上に楽しかったです。古宇利島に向かう頃には雨も止んで空が青く海も綺麗になりました。丁度お昼時でしたが思いがけず美味しいサンドイッチが配られて感動しました。道の駅でしたので特産のスイカを買ったりしてお昼を食べられました。その後は快晴になり美ら海水族館到着。約２時間ありましたので¥300の園内周遊バスで1時間掛けて回りました。広大な敷地ですがバスはのんびりと気持ち良く風が通り美しい海や立派な建物 見事な自然も把握できました。その後水族館へ入ったのですが充分見ることができました。ガイドさんの説明は分かりやすく楽しく旅が一段と濃厚になりました。最後のお菓子御殿から帰途に着きましたがガイドさんのアザトヤユンタは風情があって良かったです。良い一日をありがとうございました。欲を言えば全国旅行支援対象でしたら完璧でしたね。

My first time in Okinawa. I took a tour with Toyo Bus. While on the bus, the guide continuously shared stories about Okinawa's history, famous spots, and folklore. Their narration was very easy to listen to, and I found myself captivated by their gentle storytelling. The driver also kindly sent us off with "Have a good time" every time we got off at a sightseeing spot. We sanitized our hands with disinfectant before reboarding, and they took infection prevention measures seriously. The meeting time and place were explained in detail, so there was no confusion. Although the weather was unfortunate, we were able to enjoy the sightseeing without any inconvenience.

初沖縄。東陽バスでの観光となりました。バスに乗っている時は、ずっとガイドさんが沖縄の歴史や名所の説明、昔話などを話してくれました。
その語りが、とても聞きやすく、優しい語り方で思わず聞き入っていました。
運転手さんも、観光地で降りるたびに、いってらっしゃいと、送り出してくれました。
再乗車の旅に、消毒液で手を消毒。感染対策もしてくれました。集合時間，場所も詳しく説明があってので、迷う事もありませんでした。
あいにくの天候でしたが、不自由なく，観光ができました。

I am grateful to the guide who entertained us from start to finish! They were the best guide I've ever had. With a great sense of humor, I was able to listen to various things about Okinawa without getting bored. I had a wonderful time! Thank you very much.

最初から最後まで楽しませて下さったガイドさんに感謝です！
今までで一番のガイドさんでした。ユーモアもあり沖縄の色んな事を飽きることなく聞く事ができました。
楽しい時間を過ごせました！
ありがとうございました。

First, I thought I might not have enough time at Saijo Gokoku, but I was satisfied with my visit! When taking photos, it felt like we were competing for the best positions with the other members, haha.

I participated in the Ganga-ranger Valley tour, and the local guide's explanations were interesting and engaging, allowing me to learn a lot! The bus guide also spoke at a pace that was easy to understand during the journey. There was alcohol disinfectant available each time we boarded, which made me feel safe. The driver also drove safely, making it easier for me to participate than if I had rented a car! Thank you very much!

最初に斎場御獄で、少し時間足りないかな…と思いましたが満足見回れました！写真を撮るタイミングが他のメンバーの方々と被ると…ベストポジションは取り合う感じでした笑
私はガンガラーの谷に参加したのですが、現地ガイドの方の説明も面白く、興味深く学べました！
バスガイドの方も道中、聞き取りやすい速度で説明して下さりました。乗車毎にアルコール消毒もあり安心できました。運転手の方も安全運転でレンタカーより気持ち楽に参加できました！ありがとうございました！

I applied to go to the Valley of Gangala because I wanted to visit it. It was said to be a valley formed by limestone caves, and the guide's explanations were really easy to understand. It was a great experience filled with surprises and beautiful scenery. The Sefa Utaki was also wonderful. I was able to touch upon Okinawa's history and religious views. The bus staff were also very helpful. Although the guide was a professional, they provided an excellent tour.

ガンガラーの谷に行きたくて、申込みました。鍾乳洞が元になっている谷、ということでしたが、ガイドの方の説明が本当に分かりやすく、驚きと景色の美しさとで、良い体験となりました。斎場御嶽も良かったです。沖縄の歴史、宗教観に触れることが出来ました。バスの関係者の方々も大変良くお世話してくださいました。ガイドさんもプロだからとはいえ、大変良いガイドをしてくださいました。

There aren't many bus services, so I joined a tour. Since it was a half-day tour, we covered a lot efficiently and finished around 2 PM. However, if we hadn't taken a lunch break, we could have finished a bit earlier and used the extra time for other activities.

バスの便があまりないので、ツアーに参加しました。
半日ということで効率よく回り、14時頃終了しましたが、昼食をはさまなければもう少し早く終了し、余った時間を他のことに使えたのにと思います。

Participating in the Valley of Gangala
You will join a group of about a dozen people who signed up from other tours, guided by a knowledgeable guide. You can experience interesting activities such as entering a pitch-black cave with a lantern, looking up at a large banyan tree, and climbing the tree terrace.
The tour lasts about 1 hour and 20 minutes, allowing you to leisurely reflect on the history of the Earth and the roots of the Japanese people while listening to the guide's detailed explanations.
This tour is perfect for those who have booked an afternoon flight departing from Naha on the last day.

ガンガラーの谷に参加
他ツアーから申し込んだ方と十数人のグループになってガイドの方の案内で回ります。真っ暗な洞窟にランプを下げて入ったり、大きなガジュマルを見上げたり、ツリーテラスに登ったりと面白い体験ができます。
1時間20分程度でゆっくりと、ガイドさんの丁寧な説明を聞きながら地球の歴史と日本人のルーツについて想いを馳せる時間になりました。
那覇出発の午後便を予約している人には、最終日に丁度良いツアーです。

On the last day of sightseeing, I had planned to explore the southern area by transferring between local buses and shared transport. However, I realized that if I made even one mistake, I might not make it to my flight, so I decided to join a tour at the last minute. On the way back, I was taken to the airport and made it to my flight with plenty of time to spare.

The Sata Andagi recommended by the guide at the ticket booth in front of the Sefa Utaki was delicious!

One disappointing aspect was that the bus was old and had a bit of an odor. The bus from the tour I participated in the day before was new with three rows of seats, making for a very comfortable journey, so I couldn't help but compare the two.

最終日の観光で計画していました。
路線バスや地元の乗合バスを乗り継いで、南部を自分で回ろうと思っていたのですが、一本でもミスするとフライトに間に合わない可能性が見えたので、急遽ツアーに参加することに。
帰りは空港に送って頂き、余裕でフライトに間に合いました。

ガイドさんおすすめの、斎場御嶽チケット売り場前のサータアンダギーは美味しかったです！

一点残念だったのは、バスが古くて、少しにおいがしたことです。前日参加したツアーのバスが、三列シートで新しく、とても快適な旅でしたので、申し訳ないですが、比べてしまいました。

I was impressed by how enjoyable the bus guide's stories were! Visiting the Sefa Utaki and the Gyokusendo Cave was both fascinating and worthwhile. However, the most fun part was definitely the time spent on the bus. The guide shared insights about Okinawa's culture and history, which was very educational. By learning things that you wouldn't know just from sightseeing, I was able to imagine the era of the Ryukyu Kingdom, the time under American rule, and the period when it was returned to Japan. The guide talked the entire time during the journey, so there was never a dull moment. Even though it was a morning tour, it turned out to be a very fulfilling day! At the end, the guide sang a song by BEGIN (very well), which made me feel connected to Okinawa and created wonderful memories. Thank you!

バスガイドさんのお話が楽しかったことが印象的でした！
斎場御嶽とガンガラーの谷を見学し、どちらもとても見応えがあって良かったです。
しかしなんといっても、移動中のバスの中がとても楽しいです。沖縄の文化や歴史をお話ししてくださり、勉強になりました。
ただ観光するだけでは知り得ないことを教えていただくことで、琉球王国時代のこと・アメリカ統治下にあったときのこと・日本に返還されたときのことをイメージできるようになりました。
移動中ずっとお話をしてくださるので退屈する時間が一切なく、午前のツアーでしたがとても充実した一日になりました！
最後にBEGINの歌を歌ってくださり(とても上手でした)、沖縄らしい気持ちになれましたし、いい思い出になりました。ありがとうございました！

The meeting place is indicated to be under the kamaboko roof, but I thought it was taking a while, so I went to check the bus display and found it. It's better to go look for the bus yourself as the time approaches. Others were waiting for a long time too.

Due to last-minute cancellations and other customer-related incidents, the departure was delayed. It's not just acceptable to have an attitude of "it's fine since I'm paying the cancellation fee." If customers don't contact the bus company in advance, it causes inconvenience for both the bus company and the punctual customers. Even if a reserved customer decides not to go, they should fulfill their responsibility to inform.

After getting off the bus, you have basically free time, but during the ride, they explained Okinawa's geography and history in an easy-to-understand way, and the atmosphere on the bus was very enjoyable. I felt lucky to have a veteran and skilled guide. Thank you to the driver for safe driving. It was a fun half-day.

集合場所はかまぼこの屋根の下にいてくださいと案内がありますが、なかなか来ないなーと思って並んでるバスの表示を見に行ったらありました。時間が近くなったら自らバスを探しに行った方がいい。他の人もずっと待ってた。
ドタキャンやらなにやら、客側のハプニングで遅延して発車。キャンセル料払うからいいだろみたいな態度ではなく、事前に客側が連絡しないと、バス会社にも時間を守った客側にも迷惑なので、予約した客は行かないにしても連絡という責任を果たしてほしい。

バスを降りてからは基本的に自由行動ですが、バスの中では沖縄の地理や歴史をわかりやすく教えてくれて、車内はとても楽しかった。ベテランの敏腕ガイドさんにあたった気がしてラッキーだった。
運転士さんも、安全運転ありがとうございます。楽しい半日でした。

I used this service on the day I moved from Hilton Chatan Resort to DoubleTree Naha. They also took care of my suitcase. The guide's explanations were detailed and very helpful. It was a great deal for this price, including the entrance fees for Nago Pineapple Park and the aquarium. In the morning, I had a full breakfast at the hotel buffet, but the sandwiches provided for lunch were more than enough.

ヒルトン北谷リゾートから、ダブルツリー那覇に移動する日に利用しました。スーツケースも一緒に預かってもらいました。ガイドさんの説明が詳しく大変参考になりました。名護パイナップル、水族館の入場料金込みでこの価格では大変お得でした。朝、ホテルのバイキングでお腹がいっぱいにでしたが、サービスのサンドイッチでお昼は十分でした。

We used this for our second day of our 4-night, 5-day honeymoon trip! The water buffalo cart and mangrove tour were fun. The schedule was quite tight until we reached Taketomi Island, so we kept our time there free and enjoyed parfaits at a café on the island. By using the tour from morning until evening, it turned into a fulfilling day that will remain a memorable experience for both of us!

新婚旅行4泊5日の2日目の予定として利用させてもらいました！
水牛車、マングローブ遊覧は楽しかったです。
かなり竹富島まではキツキツのスケジュールだったので竹富島での時間はフリーにし、竹富島のカフェでパフェを食べました。
朝から夕方までツアーを利用したことで充実の1日で2人の思い出に残る1日になりました！

I was able to visit various places in one day, and the guide provided a lot of explanations. The price was also reasonable, which was great. I wish I had a bit more time at the Churaumi Aquarium, but I understand that we had to move around to see everything. I had a wonderful day!

いろんなところを1日で周れ、ガイドさんがいろいろ説明もしてくれて、価格も安く、とてもよかったです。
美ら海水族館でもう少し時間があればいいなと思いましたが、あちこち周るのでしょうがないですね。
1日満喫できました。

I can't believe there are such vehicles in the Reiwa era!
It felt like a throwback in time.
I was able to relax and forget about my busy daily life.
It was a precious experience that I could only have here.

令和の時代にこんな乗り物があるとは！
時代錯誤を感じました。
のんびりゆったりまったりして日頃の忙しい毎日を忘れさせて頂きました。
ここでしか感じ得ない貴重な体験でした。

The Valley of Gangala is explored with a dedicated guide. The explanations were easy to understand and enjoyable. Above all, the nature was wonderful. It felt like a different world!

ガンガラーの谷は専用のガイドと一緒に歩きます。
説明もわかりやすかったし楽しいです。
何より自然が素晴らしい。別世界でした！

It was a half-day tour, but it was a wonderful experience with rich content. The guide's explanations were good and easy to understand. We visited Sefa Utaki and Okinawa World (including the limestone caves and the habu show), and I had a great time. I recommend it.

半日ツアーでしたが、
内容が充実した素晴らしい体験でした。
ガイドさんの説明も良く、
分かりやすかったです。

でしたが、楽しめました。
おすすめです。

I was thinking of renting a car in Okinawa, but since there happened to be no cars available, I signed up for a bus tour. It was great because I could ask the bus guide about the names of places in Okinawa, which I wouldn't have known traveling alone. Also, the guide at the Valley of Gangala was entertaining, and I felt rejuvenated by nature.

沖縄でレンタカー借りようと思っていましたが、たまたま車の空きがなかったので、バスツアー申し込みました。バスガイドさんの沖縄地名の紹介など、一人で旅行したら分からないことも聞けたので良かったですが。また、ガンガラーの谷のガイドも面白おかしく実施されており、自然に癒されました。

You can tour around Ishigaki Island in a short amount of time. I think it's good for those who want to make the most of their time efficiently. After that, it might depend on your compatibility with the guide.

ひと通り石垣島をめぐれます。
時間がなく効率よく回りたい方はよいと思います。
後はガイドさんとの相性でしょうか。
