You can't miss the water buffalo cart! So, I chose to explore Iriomote, Yufu, and Taketomi Islands! I was tempted by marine activities, but on this day, I decided to leisurely tour the islands. This turned out to be the right choice.
水牛車は外せない!ってことで西表・由布・竹富島めぐりを選択しました!
マリンアクティビティも捨てがたかったけど、この日はノンビリと島めぐり。
これはこれで正解でしたね
竹富島ではレンタサイクルで巡ってみたのですけど、電動にすればよかったかも・・・

The boat ride was quite rocky, possibly due to the typhoon's impact 💦. However, it turned out to be a very memorable trip with stunning views and wildlife that I saw for the first time on Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island.
台風の影響もあってか行きの船はかなり揺れました💦 でも西表島、由布島、竹富島と、初めて見る景色や動植物ばかりでとても印象に残る旅になりました。
If you're prone to seasickness, be sure to take anti-nausea medication. Even in June, it can get quite hot when it's sunny, so sunscreen and heat protection are essential.
船酔いしそうな人は酔い止めの薬を。6月でも晴れるとかなりの暑さなので、日焼け止めや暑さ対策は必須です。

I participated in diving with no experience and some anxiety. Although I struggled at first and couldn't go underwater despite the careful instruction, I received additional guidance and encouragement. By the second attempt, I managed to do it and thoroughly enjoyed the underwater scenery! If you're hesitant about participating because you're unsure if you can do it, I highly recommend giving it a try!
ダイビングは未経験で不安がある中の参加でした。
丁寧に指導いただくも最初は上手く出来ず海の中には行けなかったものの、
再度丁寧に指導と勇気付けていただき、
二回目には何とか出来、海の景色を満喫出来ました!
やってみたいけど、出来るかなと参加を迷ってるようでしたら、是非オススメです!
If you have fear, you'll be overwhelmed. If you have a spirit of enjoyment and think that someone will help you if something happens, I believe you can do it right away.
恐怖心あるとやられてしまいます。
楽しむ心と何かあっても助けてくれると思えばすぐに出来ると思います。

I had a fulfilling day on a tour visiting points that are difficult to reach without a car! The initial meeting point was a bit tricky (especially since they didn't come to call us to the specified location), and the headcount was a bit off... There were some thrills with the unclear notifications about time changes, but I think the bus guide did a great job. Still, I felt like this might be typical of Okinawa.
It was also nice that they recommended some good food at various points!
車なしではいけないポイントを巡るツアーで充実した1日を過ごせました!
最初の集合場所がちょっと難しかったり(特に指定場所まで呼びにきてくれるわけではなかった)、人数カウントも甘かったり…時間変更の案内がわかりづらかったりスリルがありましたが、バスガイドさんもかなり頑張ってらしたと思います。とはいえ、これが沖縄っぽいのかなって感じです。
おすすめの食べものとかも要所要所で教えてもらえたのよかったです!

▪︎Mangrove Tour
Since I had experienced mangrove kayaking the day before, I thought the mangrove tour would be redundant. However, the captain's detailed explanations were wonderful! I was able to gain new knowledge, and it was enjoyable.
▪︎Bus Tour
The female driver on the bus tour was also fantastic. While driving, she provided bright and entertaining explanations, keeping us engaged the whole time. We arrived at the next destination in no time. Unfortunately, we didn't see any animals like wild boars. On the way back, there wasn't much talking, but I was impressed by her gentle announcements to comfort a child who was fussing. The child stopped crying, didn't they? (^ -^)
▪︎Yufu Island
I was able to see the elusive flower, Sagarihana! In the area marked "Sagarihana" on the map, it wasn't blooming yet, but a female staff member told me, "You might see it in the butterfly garden!" Perhaps because it was in a greenhouse? Despite being early in mid-June, I was able to see beautiful flowers. Although they had already fallen by noon, I was moved by their beauty. I was also happy to hear that the water buffaloes live peacefully after retirement. I hope they don't overload the water buffalo carts and minimize their burden... Or are they okay with carrying that many people? It would be nice to have an explanation to ease the worries of those like me who might be concerned.
▪︎Lunch Box
It was more delicious than I expected! The fried items were crispy, and the miso soup was warm. I was satisfied with the portion size, but I thought it would be nice if those with smaller appetites could notify in advance about the amount of rice.
▪︎Taketomi Island
Complete free time. First, I boarded a glass-bottom boat. I was able to board without a reservation. The underwater scenery was quite different from Kabira Bay, and I enjoyed that difference. I heard there is an underwater volcano that produces hot springs! I was able to see something rare. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any sea turtles.
Next, I rented a bicycle, but the ground was gravel, which was very scary. I didn't have the luxury to look at the map while pedaling, so I couldn't complete a full loop. I didn't find any particularly nice spots and couldn't enjoy it. Also, when I took a slightly narrower path, there were water buffaloes blocking the road. They didn't seem to be tied up, and while they were cute and relaxed, I started to worry about whether it was okay. I had heard on Yufu Island that water buffaloes dislike being touched and can injure people with their horns, so I was concerned that tourists might unknowingly touch them.
▪︎マングローブ遊覧
前日にマングローブカヤックを体験していたため、マングローブ遊覧は被るなぁと思っていました。が、船長さんの説明が詳しくて素晴らしかったです!また新しい知識を得ることができ、楽しかった。
▪︎バスツアー
バスツアーの女性運転手さんも素晴らしかった。運転しながら、明るく楽しい説明とお話で、少しも飽きさせず。あっという間に次の目的地へ着きました。残念ながら、イノシシなどの動物は見られなかった。帰路は特にお話はなかったが、お子様がぐずったタイミングで優しくフォローするようなアナウンスをされていたことが印象的だった。お子様、泣き止んでいましたね(^-^)
▪︎由布島
幻のお花、サガリバナを見ることができた!マップに書いてある「サガリバナ」エリアではまだ咲いていませんでしたが、スタッフの女性が、「蝶々園なら見られるかも!」と教えて下さった。温室だからか?6月中旬と早い時期にも関わらず、しっかりお花がみられました。すでにお昼頃なので、下に落ちていたものの、美しくて感激した。水牛達は、引退後は穏やかに余生を過ごすと聞けたこともうれしかった。願わくば、水牛車は満員にせず、なるべく負担をかけないであげてください…。もしくは、あれだけたくさんの人を乗せても平気なのか?私のように心配してしまう人もいるので、不要な心配しなくていいよう、ご説明いただけるとうれしい。
▪︎お弁当
期待以上に美味しかった!揚げ物はサクサク、お味噌汁も温かく。ボリュームがあって満足ですが、ご飯の量は少食の方は事前に申告できたらいいなぁと思った。
▪︎竹富島
完全なフリータイム。まずはグラスボートに乗船。予約なしで乗れた。海底の様子が川平湾とだいぶ違っており、その違いを楽しめた。温泉が出る海底火山があるとか!珍しいものを見れた。ウミガメには残念ながら会えず。
次にレンタサイクルを借りたものの、地面が砂利道でとても怖い。自転車を漕ぎながらマップを見る余裕もなく、一周はできなかった。特に良い場所は見つからず、楽しめなかった。また、少し細い道を通ると、水牛が道を塞ぐようにいた。特にロープで繋がれている感じもなく、伸び伸びしていて可愛らしいけど、大丈夫なのか心配になった。水牛は触られるのが苦手で、角でついて人に怪我をさせることがあると由布島で聞いていたため、観光客など、知らずに触ってしまうのではないかと。

I booked a bus tour because I wanted to efficiently visit the main tourist spots during my first trip to Okinawa. Since there was no driving involved, it was safe and comfortable. The bus guide regularly provided explanations from inside the bus, and they had a great sense of humor, which made it very enjoyable! I was able to think about what kind of plan would be good for my next visit to experience the atmosphere of Okinawa.
There were many places to visit, so I got a little tired, but they were very considerate (I could sleep on the bus, and I think being tired just means I had a lot of fun).
沖縄旅行に初めて今回行く中で効率良く主要な観光地を見て回りたいと思い、バスツアーを予約しました。運転ももちろんないので安心で快適です。観光地以外でもバスガイドの方が定期的にバスの中から説明があったりして、ユーモアある方だったのでとても楽しめました!沖縄の雰囲気とか次観光するならこんなプランがいいかなと考えることができました!
回る場所が多くて少し疲れちゃいましたが、気を遣っていただきました笑(バスの中では寝れますし、疲れるほど楽しめたということでもあると思っています。)
Lunch is not decided yet, so you can either buy something at a sightseeing spot along the way or at the aquarium. It's also fine to bring your own food, so I recommend buying something in advance and
昼食は決まっていないので途中の観光地で買うか水族館で買ってという感じです。持ち込みも大丈夫なので、事前に買ってバスの中で食べるのもおすすめ。トイレはバス乗る前に、飲み物は買っておくことお勧めします。

My first solo trip to Okinawa. I considered renting a car, but I wanted to enjoy the scenery from the window, so I joined this tour. About half of the participants were from overseas.
At the main Churaumi Art Museum, there was plenty of time for viewing, dining, and shopping, which was different from the hectic image I had of bus tours. Since I'm not particularly interested in shopping, I wouldn't have stopped at American Village if I had rented a car, but I had a relaxing time watching the sunset over the ocean in Chatan. The optional live performance at the folk song tavern was also a fun experience.
初めての沖縄一人旅 レンタカーの利用も考えましたがゆっくり車窓も楽しみたいと考えてこのツアーに参加しました。参加者の半分くらいは海外からいらした方でした。
メインの美ら海美術館でも鑑賞と食事や買い物に十分な時間が取られており バスツアーは慌ただしいというイメージとは違います。 ショッピングにはそれほど興味が無いのでレンタカーならまず立ち寄らなかったであろうアメリカ村では北谷の海に沈む夕陽をゆったり眺める時間もあったし オプションの民謡酒場のライブも全て楽しい体験でした。

We were able to see sea turtles on the optional glass-bottom boat. The guide mentioned that "the visibility wasn't great, as if it had rained recently," but since we were prepared for heavy rain, we were relieved that it was only light rain. I was satisfied with the quantity and quality of the lunch. The bus guide was also very good at storytelling, which made the experience enjoyable.
オプションのグラスボートで海亀がみられました。「雨の後のようで透明度が今一つ」とガイドさんは言ってましたが、大雨も覚悟していたので、小雨程度で済んで良かったです。昼食の量や内容は満足です。バスのガイドさんも話が上手で楽しめました。

Since it was the year-end and New Year holidays, the shops listed in the guidebook were closed, so I joined a tour.
In Iriomote, I heard stories about the Iriomote cat, and the mangrove cruise offered beautiful views that I wouldn't normally see. In Yufu and Taketomi, I enjoyed sightseeing while riding on a water buffalo cart. I didn't have time to collect star sand to fill a bottle, so I bought some as a souvenir. The gelato at Yufu Island Chaya was also delicious, so I recommend it!
年末年始だったので、ガイドブックに載っているようなお店はお休みだったので、ツアーに参加しました。
西表ではイリオモテヤマネコの話を聞いたり、マングローブ遊覧も普段見ることのない景色が見れて素敵でした。由布・竹富では水牛車に乗り、観光を楽しめました。
星の砂を瓶いっぱいに集める時間がなかったので、そこは購入してお土産に★
由布島茶屋のジェラートも美味しかったので、オススメです!
How you spend your time on Yufu Island can vary. If you want to be active and explore many sights on the island, renting a bicycle is recommended! The attractions are surprisingly far apart.
由布島での過ごし方の選び方で変わってきます。アクティブに島内を移動してたくさん観光したければ、レンタサイクルがオススメです!見どころが意外と遠いです。

I was able to enjoy a relaxed and easy tour of Ishigaki Island as we circled around the main sightseeing spots. I was captivated by the bus guide's skillful storytelling during the tour. Thanks to that, I felt like I learned a bit more about Ishigaki Island. Additionally, the performance of folk songs and the sanshin created a lively atmosphere in the bus, so there was never a dull moment. Since solo participants had two seats, I was able to relax comfortably. Even when we got off for sightseeing, I could leave unnecessary luggage behind since I had the same seat. The bus guide also provided clear and enjoyable explanations during the off-bus sightseeing. The lunch was substantial, and I think even men would be satisfied. There were various participants, including those who came for work, solo travelers, older couples, groups of friends, and families. Since individual participants were gathered and seated together for the meal, it sparked conversations that made the tour enjoyable as we chatted during the off-bus sightseeing.
主だった観光名所を島内一周するように回るので、手軽に気楽にさっくりと石垣島観光が楽しめました。バスガイドさんの巧みな話術で観光案内に聞き入ってました。おかげで石垣島にちょっと詳しくなった気持ちになりました。また、民謡や三線を披露して下り車内は盛り上がりバス内で退屈することはなく寂しいこともないです。バス座席も1人参加者は2席となりゆっくり過ごせました。下車観光しても同じ席のため不要な荷物は置いていけました。下車観光もバスガイドさんが案内してくれるので、わかりやすく楽しいかったです。昼食はボリュームがあり男性の方でも満足できると思います。仕事で来島しての参加、一人旅、年配のカップル、友達のグループ、家族、いろんな方がいました。食事は個人参加者が集められ着座したので、そこでの会話がきっかけで下車観光時にお話したりとツアー中も楽しく過ごせました。
Heat protection, sunburn prevention, and insect repellent are essential. For those who are not good with buses, it's important to have measures against motion sickness.

I traveled alone freely and had a great time. Choosing the bus tour on Taketomi Island was the right decision. Even though it was before the rainy season, cycling in the strong midday sun would have been exhausting due to the heat. The bus driver guided us through the village and to the star sand beach, and most importantly, we could cool off once we returned to the bus. I didn't have high expectations for lunch on Yubu Island, but I was completely wrong; it was very delicious. There was also a guide that matched the dishes with explanations, so I was able to learn the names of Ryukyu cuisine and truly enjoy it. The mangrove tour on Iriomote Island coincided with high tide, so we couldn't see the features, but just listening to the guide's many explanations was a valuable experience. Even as a solo traveler, I was able to enjoy talking with local staff, guides, and other participants in the same tour, asking for photos, and there was no time to feel lonely. I think it's great that you can smoothly visit three islands. Considering the ferry fees and various other costs, the tour price is reasonable and offers good value. I recommend it for those who are not into active activities like stand-up paddleboarding or diving while sightseeing in Ishigaki Island.
自由気ままに一人旅での利用でしたが、存分に楽しめました。竹富島では、バス観光を選び正解でした。梅雨入り前ではあっても、日中の強い日差しの中でサイクリングとかは暑さでバテそう…。バスの運転手さんが、集落や星砂浜を案内してくれるし、何よりバス車内に戻れば涼が得られました。由布島のランチは期待していなかったけれど、それは大間違いでとても美味しかったです。そしてお料理と照らし合わせができる案内が用意されていたので、琉球料理の名前もわかり堪能できました。西表島のマングローブの遊覧は、満潮と重なり特徴は見られなかったけれど、ガイドさんのたくさんの解説を聞いたりするだけでも貴重な体験で良かったです。一人でも現地スタッフの方やガイドの方、また同じツアー参加者とお話ししたり、写真をお願いしたりして十分楽しめます。寂しい思いをする暇はありませんでした。スムーズに3島をまわれるのでとても良いと思います。フェリー代とか色々考えるとツアー料金はそこそこしますがお得な内容でした。石垣島観光でサップとかダイビングとかアクティブなことが苦手な方にはお勧めです。
It's obvious, but measures against heat, sunburn, and insects are essential. I didn't feel any shaking, but if you're prone to motion sickness, it's a good idea to take precautions.

【Before Departure - During Travel】
The guide's briefing starts a bit later to pick up participants scattered over a wide area along the route. Until then, it's fine to take a nap.
【The Guide is Like a "Fun Teacher"】
Once the guide begins, they are very cheerful and provide detailed explanations, making it educational. It's a nice touch that they share local information about places that aren't tourist spots. At one point, near Onna Village, the guide introduced "Tanchamebushi." I was wondering if there would be a recorded version, but to my surprise, it was a live performance! The guide asked, "If you could clap along, it would make it easier to sing," and the bus filled with clapping. They were incredibly skilled, creating a natural and comfortable atmosphere that felt cozier than a tavern.
【Traveling While Listening to Tanchamebushi】
Tanchamebushi is one of the representative folk songs from Onna Village in Okinawa, played along with the sanshin (Okinawan string instrument). It humorously sings about fishermen from the area called "Tanchame" attracting women. With its lively rhythm and approachable melody, it captures the brightness of Okinawa and enhances the travel experience. After the guide introduced it, I listened to it on YouTube while traveling for a while.
【Manzamo】
This place is said to have been praised by King Shōkei of the Ryukyu Dynasty when he visited, calling it "a wide field where everyone can sit." It means "a wide grassland where everyone can sit." I heard it offers a spectacular view when it's sunny, but today it was a "moist spectacular view" with unfortunate rain. However, there are well-maintained walking paths for viewing, so if you have an umbrella, you can stroll smoothly. Even alone, you won't get lost. There are plenty of souvenirs, and I was able to buy discounted Karyushi shirts and dresses. However, since there are many foreign tourists, the register can get crowded, so make sure to allow extra time to return to the bus. A timer is essential!
【Nago Pineapple Park】
From the moment you step into the park, you're enveloped in the scent of pineapples. Cheerful Shisa statues are everywhere, and the imaginary dinosaurs called "Pinasaur" delighted the children. Is it pineapples or dinosaurs? No, it might just be Okinawa itself! A German tourist was so charmed that they started dancing with a wiggle! The tasting samples and merchandise are of high quality, making it a fun place to explore. The theme song "Papa Pineapple♪" is one you won't be able to get out of your head after hearing it once.
【Okashi Goten (Nago Store)】
Here, there's also a theme song called "The Sweet Potato Tart Song," welcoming customers with the phrase "Spiral in purple♪" (laughs). Besides souvenirs, you can also purchase sweets to satisfy your small hunger. However, since the stay is about 30 minutes, it might be difficult to enjoy a leisurely meal.
【Walami Ohashi (View from the Bus)】
If it's sunny, you can see turtles swimming from the bus window in this clear area. Since its opening, it has connected Nakijin Village with Yagaji Island and Kouri Island, playing a significant role in the daily lives of the islanders. The scenery and structure are impressive.
【Kouri Island】
A small island belonging to Nakijin Village. As you start crossing the approximately 2 km long Kouri Ohashi, a breathtaking view that screams "This is Okinawa!" unfolds. Even on a cloudy day, the beauty of the sea is exceptional, and I was moved by the scenery that is quintessentially Okinawan. The greenery illuminated by the cloudy sky appeared incredibly vibrant.
【Churaumi Aquarium】
Located within the Ocean Expo Park, the grounds are vast! Since we also stop by the restrooms and souvenir shops, set an alarm for 15 minutes before returning to the bus. The large tank with whale sharks has clearer water quality than the Osaka Aquarium, and the movements of the fish were also clearly visible. The sharks seemed accustomed to people and approached us. I coul
【出発前~移動中】
広範囲に散らばっている参加者をルートに沿ってピックアップしていくため、添乗員さんのガイドが始まるのは少し遅め。それまでは居眠りしていても大丈夫です。
【添乗員が「楽しい先生」みたい】
いざガイドが始まると、添乗員さんがとても明るく、説明も詳しいので勉強になります。観光スポットではない場所のローカル情報も教えてくれるのが嬉しいポイント。途中、恩納村(おんなそん)近くでは、添乗員から「谷茶前節(たんちゃめぶし)」の紹介がありました。「音源が流れるのかな?」と思っていたら、まさかの生歌! 「ちょっと手拍子をしてくださると歌いやすいのですが~?」と仰せになるので、バスのなかが手拍子で進行。しかもすごくお上手で、居酒屋より自然で心地よく、車内がほっこりしました。
【谷茶前節を聴きながら移動】
谷茶前節は、沖縄本島・恩納村に伝わる代表的な民謡のひとつで、三線(さんしん=味線)とともに演奏される陽気な曲。「谷茶(たんちゃ)」という地名の漁師たちが、魚を獲り、女性たちにモテる様子を、ユーモラスに歌った内容らしい。軽快なリズムと親しみやすいメロディで、沖縄らしい明るさを感じられ、旅を楽しくしてくれます。添乗員に紹介してもらって以降は、しばらくYouTubeで聴きながら移動しました。
【万座毛(まんざもう)】
琉球王朝時代、尚敬王(しょうけいおう)がこの地を訪れた際に、「万人が座れる広い野原だ」と称えたことに由来しているとか。「万人が座れるほどの広い草原」という意味らしい。晴れたら絶景…と聞いて来たら、今日は“しっとり絶景”、あいにくの雨でしたが、観賞用の遊歩道が整備されているので傘があればスムーズに散策可能。ひとりでも、迷うこともありません。お土産が充実しており、かりゆしシャツやワンピースの特価品を購入できました。ただし、外国人観光客が多くレジが混むので、バスに戻る時間には余裕を持っておきましょう。タイマー必須!
【ナゴパイナップルパーク】
園内に一歩入った瞬間から、パイナップルの香りに包まれます。そこかしこにいる陽気な表情のシーサーたち、そして「パイナソー」という架空の恐竜たちが子どもたちを大喜びさせていました。パインなのか恐竜なのか…いや、もう、沖縄そのものかも!あるドイツ人観光客が、可愛さのあまり腰を振って踊り出すほど!試食もグッズもクオリティが高く、迷う楽しさがあります。テーマソング「パッパ パイナップル♪」は一度聞いたらしばらく頭から離れません。
【御菓子御殿(名護店)】
ここにもテーマソングとして「紅芋タルトの歌」というのがあり、「むらさき色したスパイラル♪」というフレーズでお客様をお出迎え。(笑)お土産のほか、小腹を満たせるスイーツも購入可。ただし、滞在は30分程度なので、ゆっくり食事は難しいかもしれません。
【ワルミ大橋(車窓)】
晴れていれば、車窓からでもカメさんが泳ぐ姿が見られるほどの透明感あるところらしいです。開通以来、今帰仁村(なきじんそん)と屋我地島(やがじしま)・古宇利島(こうりじま)をつなぎ、島民の生活路線として大活躍。景色も構造も見応えがあります。
【古宇利島】
今帰仁村に属する小さな離島。全長約2kmの古宇利大橋を渡り始めると、そこにはまさに「これぞ沖縄!」という絶景が広がります。曇天でも海の美しさは格別で、沖縄らしさ満点の風景に感動しました。曇り空に照らされた緑が、逆にすごく鮮やかに見えました。
【美ら海水族館】
海洋博公園のなかにあり、とにかく敷地が広い!トイレや土産店にも寄るので、バスに戻る15分前にはアラームを。ジンベイザメの大水槽は、大阪の海遊館より水質が美しく、魚たちの動きもクリアに見えました。サメたちも人馴れしているのか近づいてきてくれます。周囲からは台湾語や韓国語も聞こえ、国際的で平和な雰囲気のなか、じっくりと海洋生物を堪能できました。
【イルカがハイサイおじさんで踊っている!?】
イルカショーは水族館ではなく、公園の別施設で開催。「沖縄民謡、かかるかな?」と思っていたら、まさかの『ハイサイおじさん』でイルカたちがリズムよく“テールウォーキング”!会場が一気に盛り上がり、笑いと拍手に包まれました。子どもも大人も、気づけば笑顔。背景の伊江島まで絶景のおまけ付き。
【まとめ】
実際に行ってみてわかったのは、どこも車じゃないと正直かなり不便だということ。路線バスもあるにはあるけど、時間も本数も心細い。のんびりした雰囲気を味わうには、それもアリだけれど、初めての沖縄では、やっぱりバスツアーが断然おすすめです。
The tour is convenient for sightseeing in northern Okinawa! You can enjoy the live singing by the tour guide and local information during the journey, so you won't get bored. Some places have a short
沖縄北部の観光はこのツアーが便利!添乗員の生歌や現地情報で移動中も飽きず楽しめます。滞在時間が短い場所もあるので買い物やトイレは早めに。外国人観光客が多いので、バスへの戻り時間はタイマー必須です!

It was really great.
The Hilton Chatan has a bus stop that is hard to find, so I would like a photo of the stop location on the website. I would be happy if I could pre-order lunch boxes at least three days in advance.
Thank you very much.

The highlight of this tour is definitely the "water buffalo cart." It's fascinating to see the water buffalo, which you can't encounter on the mainland, and the explanations about their characteristics were both interesting and informative. The descriptions were detailed and delivered in a humorous way, so I never got bored. The sanshin music and folk songs, as well as the island songs, were also great here.
このツアーの目玉はなんといっても、「水牛車」でしょう。本土ではお目にかかれない水牛、水牛の特徴などの説明が面白くタメになるし、説明もコミカルに詳細説明されていたのであきなかった。
ここでも三線と民謡、島唄がよかったです。

The explanation by the bus guide was great, and the folk songs and sanshin performances were also wonderful. Since they were in the local dialect, it was a valuable experience. However, unfortunately, I needed an interpreter, so I couldn't fully understand the lyrics.
バスガイドさんによる説明もさることながら、民謡、三線演奏とか良かったです。
現地ならではの方言によるものなので貴重です。しかし残念ながら通訳が必要なので歌詞の内容は100%の理解はできなかったですが。

I went on a free plan to Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island. The weather was nice, and the scenery was beautiful; it was the best. On Taketomi Island, I rode a water buffalo for 30 minutes, and then I had a plan with a rental bicycle, but I wished I had more time. I couldn't visit all the places I wanted to. I want to go again next time.
西表島、由布島、竹富島フリープランで行きました。お天気も良くて景色も綺麗で最高でした。竹富島では水牛に30分乗ってあとはレンタルサイクルでのプランでしたが、もっと時間が欲しかったです。行きたいところ全ては回れませんでした。
次の機会に行きたいです。
I visited at the end of May, and the UV rays were quite strong.

We really enjoyed the tour, went smoothly and very organised. Pick up from hotel was convenient. As a half Japanese individual I was able to understand the tour guide but given the popularity with foreigners, I think it would be helpful to get a paper guide in English of the locations and also a written explanation of the guide’s speeches. Also foreigners don’t buy “omiyage” but might want some rest to get food and drinks so stopping at a place with more food options would be very much appreciated by foreigners.

It was the last day of my trip, so I opted for a two-island tour, and it was a thoroughly satisfying journey. The mangrove cruise was interesting thanks to the guide's explanations, and the timing was just right. The water buffalo cart ride was also a lot of fun. I didn't have high expectations for lunch, but it turned out to be delicious. Next, I would like to visit Taketomi Island as well.
旅行最終日だったので、2島ツアーにしましたが充分に満足出来る旅でした。
マングローブ遊覧はガイドさんの説明も興味深く時間的にもちょうどいい感じでした。水牛車もとても楽しかったです。
お昼ご飯もあまり期待はしていなかったのですが美味しかったです。
次は竹富島にも行ってみたいです。

I was able to efficiently tour the remote islands. I'm glad I could explore without wasting time on my first visit. I signed up for the glass boat plan, but it was disappointing that there was a 30-minute gap between the boat's arrival and departure. Other than that, it was fantastic. (The glass boat itself was also amazing.)
離島を効率よく巡れました。
初めて訪れる際に無駄なく巡れてよかったです。
グラスボートプランを申し込みましたが、この時間だけ間が船到着から出港まで30分空いてしまったのが残念です。
それ以外は最高でした。(グラスボート自体も最高でした。)

Even though it's May, on that hot summer day, as I descended a bit from Sakaguchi in the sweltering parking lot, the entrance to the Cave Café suddenly appeared. It is a slightly larger cave with stalactites hanging down. Beyond that, we embarked on a mystical journey of 1 kilometer while listening to the guide's explanations. The Great Banyan Tree is overwhelming. A cool breeze flows in from somewhere, accompanied by the sounds of water, birds, and trees. It was a wonderful time.
五月だとゆうのに真夏日のその日熱々の駐車場から坂町を少し降りると洞窟の入り口であるケイブカフェがいきなり現れました。
そこは鍾乳石が垂れ下がった少し大きめの洞窟です。その先はガイドさんの方の説明を聞きながら1キロの神秘的な旅です。
大主ガジュマルは圧倒されます。どこからか涼しげな風が流れ込んできて水の音や鳥の声、木々の音。素敵な時間でした。
There is also a bottled tea service, but depending on the season, some may need a bit more. There are areas where you will need to walk with a lantern and some slippery spots, so non-slip shoes might
お茶のボトルサービスもありますが時期によってはもう少し必要な方もいるかもしれません。
ランタンを持って歩く箇所や、滑る箇所もありますので滑らない靴が良いかも。途中トイレはありません。

During the boat tour in Iriomote Island, it rained, but we didn't get too wet, and it was amazing! The bus driver provided explanations about Iriomote Island during the ride, so it was enjoyable and never boring. I was surprised by the size of the water buffalo! They were all so cute. My fourth-grade daughter also had a great time. The lunch set was delicious. We stayed on Taketomi Island until the last minute, and the locals were kind. I want to go back again!
西表島の遊覧船の時に雨が降ったので、そんなに濡れる事もなく、サイコーでした☆

小4の娘も楽しんでいました

I think it really depends on the weather. Depending on the season, rain gear is essential. If it rains, a stroller might be tough on Taketomi Island.
やはりお天気次第かなぁと思います

I'm glad I was able to experience three islands in one day. I think renting a bicycle for sightseeing in Taketomi Island is essential for anyone who isn't very confident in their physical fitness. Since the time for exploring Iriomote Island was short, I thought it might be fine to just do the water buffalo cart experience from Iriomote to Yufu.
1日で3島体験できて良かったです
竹富島観光にレンタサイクリングは相当体力に自信がある人以外は必須だと思います
西表島の散策時間が短かったため、水牛車体験は、西表→由布だけでもいいかなと思いました
The Yagafu-kan on Taketomi Island near the Taketomi Island Terminal was more enjoyable than I expected, so be sure to check it out while waiting for your boat.
竹富島ターミナル近くの竹富島ゆがふ館が思ったよりも楽しく、船を待つ時間に行ってみてください
