All Reviews for Tickets

My first time in Ishigaki Island was a meaningful experience thanks to the guidance of a professional. It rained occasionally, but they were truly kind in their assistance. The lunch they recommended was delicious.

初めての石垣島で、プロの方に案内してもらうことで有意義な観光になりました。
時より雨が降ったりしましたが
本当に親切に案内してもらいました。
お昼案内して頂いた食事美味しかったです。

I realized this time that it costs over 1,000 yen one way just to go from my home to the city, so I should use it more regularly. Without knowing this, I used a touch payment for the outbound trip and took advantage of the one-day free pass for the return. From next time, I want to make sure to use it from the beginning of the trip.

自宅から街中へ行くだけで片道千円以上かかるので、普段使いで使うべきということが今回分かりました。そうと知らずに片道はタッチ決済で乗ってしまい、帰りはこの1日フリーパスを利用しました。次回からは行きの時点で使うようにしたいと思います。

I used the "Round Trip Discount Ticket" from Higashi Bus for the transfer between Ishigaki Airport and the remote island terminal. Here are some points I felt after using it:

1. It is 100 yen cheaper for a round trip compared to paying directly with an IC card or cash. You can easily purchase and exchange it on the bus.

2. Be careful about getting on the wrong bus. The bus terminal has direct buses to the airport from companies other than Higashi Bus. This round trip ticket is exclusively for "Higashi Bus," so you cannot use it on buses from other companies. I recommend checking carefully before lining up at the boarding area.

石垣空港と離島ターミナルの移動で、東バスの「往復割引乗車券」を利用しました。実際に使ってみて感じたポイントを共有します。

1. 直接ICカードや現金で支払うよりも、往復で100円安くなります。バスで簡単に購入・引き換えができます。

2. 乗り間違いには要注意です。バスターミナルには、東バス以外にも空港行きの直行バスが停まっています。この往復チケットは「東バス」専用なので、他の会社のバスには乗れません。乗り場に並ぶ前に、しっかり確認することをおすすめします。

I requested a taxi for a five-hour private hire this time. I really wanted to buy some snacks that I missed out on last time, so I had requested a specific store in advance. The driver in charge was very knowledgeable and did some research on his own. He advised me on how to adjust the schedule for better timing and even recommended a famous Okinawa soba restaurant, saying it was tastier than another place.

Thanks to him, I was able to efficiently visit all the stores I wanted to go to, and I'm really glad I made this request! Thank you so much!

今回5時間貸切のタクシーをお願いしました。
前回買い損ねたお菓子をどうしても買いたくて行きたいお店を事前にリクエストしていたのですが、ご担当の運転手さんがとても詳しくご自身で調べて下さっていて
時間調整の為に先にこうした方がいいよとアドバイスして下さったり、こっちの店の方が美味しいよと沖縄そばの名店を教えて下さったり

そのお陰でとても効率よく行きたかったお店を全部まわれて、本当にお願いして良かったです！！
本当にありがとうございました！！

To be honest, before going to Ishigaki Island, I was worried that not many people would use this pass and that I might feel confused about it, but there was no need to worry.

You could say that almost everyone, tourists included, was using it. It's a great convenience since you just need to show it to the driver without having to wave it around to get on and off.

This pass became an essential travel companion for me, a minor who couldn't rent a car!

If you keep it tucked behind your smartphone case, it saves you the hassle of taking it out, making it super convenient!

実際のところ、石垣島に行く前は、このパスを使う人があまりいなく、戸惑われたらどうしようかと心配もありましたが、心配はいりませんでした。

ほぼみんなと言っていいほど、観光客は利用していました。かざすこともなく、運転手さんに見せるだけで乗り降り出来る優れもの。

このパスは、レンタカーに乗れない未成年の私には欠かせない旅のお供となりました！

スマホケースの裏に挟んでおくと、取り出す手間も省けて楽！です！

I was able to thoroughly explore Miyako Island, Ikema Ohashi, Irabu Ohashi, Irabu Island, and Shimoji Island in six hours. Our driver, Mr. Anzai, did a great job introducing the spots and managing the schedule, making it very efficient in terms of both time and cost. I would like to use this service again when I visit next time.

宮古島、池間大橋、伊良部大橋、伊良部島、下地島を6時間でじっくり観光することができました。ドライバーの安斎さんがキチンとスポット紹介やスケジュール管理をして下さり、時間的にもコスト的にも大変効率的でした。再訪時にも利用したいと思います。

It would be really convenient if our schedule matched the bus timetable! Since there are few buses, we ended up waiting a lot...

自分たちの予定とバスの時刻表があっていたらすごく便利！本数が少ないので、バス待ちの時間などは出ました…

When boarding the bus, I presented the voucher and exchanged it for a paper free pass, which was a smooth process. Unlike the digital free passes sold by other companies, I don't need to open the app every time I get on or off, which is great. I already got my money's worth just by traveling from the airport to Kabira Bay and Ishigaki city.

バス乗車時にバウチャーを提示し、紙のフリーパスに交換しますがスムーズに引き換え出来ました。
他社販売のデジタルフリーパスと違い、毎回乗降時にアプリを開く必要がないので良いです。
空港〜川平湾〜石垣市街地の移動だけで元が取れました。

I showed my smartphone screen when boarding and received a round-trip ticket. It was convenient since I didn't need any coins and the price was discounted, making it a great deal. I want to use it again next time.

乗車時にスマホ画面を見せて、往復乗車券をもらいました。小銭もいらないのと割引価格なのでお得でした。次回も使いたいです。

We visited for our honeymoon. Since neither of us can drive, we found a service that provides taxi tours around tourist spots and decided to use it.

In conclusion, we are very glad we made this request! We chose a 6-hour course and had no specific plan, so we let the driver take us around. Not only did we visit famous places, but we were also guided to stories and locations that only locals would know along the way, which was very meaningful.

Although we visited several places in those 6 hours, the time at each spot was short, but it was just right for someone as impatient as me, haha. If we have the opportunity to use this service again, I think it would be nice to research the places we want to visit in advance!

I highly recommend this for anyone visiting Miyako Island for the first time and wanting a guided tour!

Thank you very much! ^ ^

新婚旅行で伺いました。
夫婦共に車の運転ができないのでタクシーで観光地を回ってくださるサービスを見つけ、利用させてもらいました。

結論、ご依頼してよかったです！
今回私たちは6時間コースでノープランだったので運転手の方にお任せで回ってもらいました。
有名どころはもちろんですが、観光地に向かう道中で地元の方しか知らないようなお話や場所に案内していただき、とても有意義でした。

6時間で数箇所回ってもらったため、各所は短時間でしたがせっかちな私にはちょうど良かったです笑
次もし利用させてもらう機会があれば、行きたいところリサーチして回っていただくのもありかなと思っております！

宮古島は初めて、ガイドさん付きで回りたいみたいな方にはとてもおすすめと思います！

ありがとうございました^ ^

Just showing the reservation confirmation screen to the driver is very convenient, as I don't have to carry cash and can make purchases cashless.

予約確認書画面を運転手さんに提示するだけ、現金を持ち合わせなくてキャッシュレスで購入でき大変便利です。

With this free pass, I was able to travel around Ishigaki Island mostly by bus~＼(^o^)／ Even just the round trip from Ishigaki Airport to the island terminal was worth it, and I was so happy to be able to go to Kabira Bay and Tamatorizaki Observatory too♡

こちらのフリーパスで 石垣島をほぼバスで 周る事が出来ました～＼(^o^)／
石垣空港から 離島ターミナル往復だけでも 充分 元が取れるのに 川平湾や玉取崎展望台まで 行けて 嬉しかったです♡

I used my accumulated points to take an unlimited ride bus for a day to Kabira Bay. On the way back to the city, it was a very pleasant bus trip while enjoying the scenic views along the coast.

溜まっていたポイントを使って1日乗り放題バスで川平湾へ行きました。市内に戻る際に海沿いの景色を見ながらすごく心地のいいバス旅でした。

It was a 2-night, 3-day trip, and I fully utilized my time sightseeing at places like Kabira Bay, Ishigaki, Imai Village, and the limestone caves. I felt reassured since I had purchased everything in advance.

2泊3日の旅でしたが、川平湾や石垣やいま村、鍾乳洞など、観光する際にフルに利用しました。あらかじめ購入していたので安心でした。

Our driver patiently waited for us at the port because our disembarkation from the cruise ship took longer than expected. They also called us to double check due to the delay. Highly recommend this service when visiting Miyakojima!

The driver I requested for the sightseeing taxi shared historical facts and local dialects with me. It was so much fun, and the five hours flew by in no time. I could feel the heartfelt service and the love for Miyako Island that the driver had. I definitely plan to come back to Miyako Island next year, and I intend to request the sightseeing taxi again at that time.

観光タクシーをお願いした運転手さんが、史実や現地の方言など教えてくださいました。とても楽しくて、あっという間の5時間でした。心のこもったサービスと、宮古島を大切に思っておられるお気持ちが伝わってきました。来年も必ず宮古島に来ようと思います。その時は、また観光タクシーをお願いするつもりです。

I used this for a 2-night, 3-day trip to Ishigaki Island. This time, I maximized the use of buses without renting a car. I was able to purchase a 5-day free pass from Higashi Unyu for just 2000 yen, and I could earn and use points from Veltra, which was very convenient. I also used it to visit Hirakubo Misaki Lighthouse, and I was able to enjoy it at a leisurely pace.

2泊３日の石垣島旅行に使用しました。今回はレンタカーを使用せずにバスを最大限に使ってみました。東運輸の5日間使用できるフリーパスがたった2000円で購入できて、ベルトラのポイントも貯まるし使えるし、とても便利でした。平久保崎灯台に行くのにも使用しとてもゆっくりと楽しめました｡

I participated in a 2-night, 3-day baseball camp tour. Since it was my son and grandson's third time, we wanted to take the opportunity to do some sightseeing in Okinawa, so we went our separate ways. This was my first time in Okinawa, and I was looking forward to it. However, my knees are bad, and I can't walk for long, plus I had no plans at all. I found out about sightseeing taxis online and quickly made a reservation. I hoped to visit the Churaumi Aquarium. Looking back, I was quite ignorant as I didn't even know how long it would take just by looking at the map.

The driver, Mr. Narisoko, was incredibly kind and took care of everything, even worrying about my legs. Thank you very much! He drove us along the regular roads of Okinawa, where we could see things like the sugarcane fields that we would never have seen on a sightseeing bus. We chatted the whole time, and it was a fun day. Next time, I want to make a solid plan and ask for your help again from the bottom of my heart. Thank you so much!

We started at 9:30 AM and communicated the places we wanted to visit, and they organized a plan for us. At the Churaumi Aquarium, my elderly mother, who has difficulty walking, was able to use the electric wheelchair service, which was very helpful. We were able to move around easily with minimal walking and the slopes were manageable. We made many memories together with my mother, enjoying things like Yaezakura cherry blossoms, tankan oranges, and sata andagi (Okinawan doughnuts). Thank you again! (^ - ^)/

Since it was a 24-hour stay with a plan for one night, I decided to purchase it because I could easily cover the cost just by traveling to and from the airport. In the end, I was able to extend my trip to Kabira Bay using the bus, which was really great.

１泊2日の予定で24時間以内の滞在だったので、空港往復するだけでも元が取れるので購入しました。結果的にバスを使って川平湾まで足を伸ばせたのでとても良かったです。

The 5-day free pass is a great deal 🉐. A round trip from the city to the airport is 1,120 yen, and considering unlimited rides on the island pass, it's cost-effective. You can earn points with credit card payments, and by posting your experiences, you can earn 100 points for each submission on Veltra.

5日間フリーパスは、お得🉐です。
市内⇄空港往復1,120円、島内パス乗り放題で考えてもコスパいい。

I toured various places by bus for a day. I also enjoyed the scenery from the window. The free pass was a great value, and I had a wonderful time!

1日バスでいろんなところを巡りました。車窓からの景色も楽しめました。フリーパスはコスパが良く、とても満喫できました！

The one-week line has two routes: one going east and the other going west. When I have time, I enjoy the scenery leisurely. For five days, 2,000 yen is a great deal! 🉐

一周線には、東回りと西回りの2路線あります。
時間があるときは、まったり景色を堪能しています。
5日間、2,000円は、お得🉐です。

If you're planning to explore Ishigaki Island using public transportation, this pass is very cost-effective and helpful. Just by visiting a few major spots like the airport round trip and Kabira Bay, you can quickly get your money's worth.

However, it's important to note that the bus frequency is extremely low. Some routes only have one bus per hour or even just a few buses every few hours, so if you're not careful, you could waste a lot of time waiting. I strongly recommend checking the latest timetable on the official Higashi Transport website in advance and planning your schedule down to the minute. It's especially crucial to have a flexible plan to avoid missing your return trip.

石垣島を公共交通機関で観光するなら、このパスは非常にコスパが良く、経済的で助かりました。空港往復や川平湾などの主要スポットを数ヶ所回るだけで、すぐに元が取れます。
ただし、注意が必要なのはバスの運行本数が極めて少ない点です。1時間に1本、あるいは数時間に1本しかない路線もあるため、行き当たりばったりだと待ち時間で大幅に時間をロスしてしまいます。東運輸の公式サイトで最新の時刻表を事前に確認し、分刻みでスケジュールを組んでおくことを強くお勧めします。特に帰りの便を逃すと大変なので、余裕を持った計画が大切です。

With credit card payments, you can also earn credit card points. For children, it's a great deal at just 1,000 yen! 🉐

This is a very economical bus pass that allows you to ride for a full five days (120 hours) for just 2000 yen. You show the Veltra voucher at your first boarding to receive your ticket. The boarding time is indicated, and from that point, you can ride for 120 hours. Depending on your boarding time, you can ride for up to six days.

You can also board from Ishigaki Airport, so there’s no waste. The second and third images show the places I visited by bus. However, there are quite a few bus stops with limited service, so you need to carefully check the timetable and plan your schedule. If you get the timing wrong, you may not be able to return to your hotel or the airport.

5日間ではなく、丸5日間（120時間）2000円でバスに乗車できる、とってもお得なバスのフリーパスです。
一番最初の乗車時にベルトラのバウチャーを見せて、チケットを貰います。乗車時間が出てるので、それから120時間乗車可能。
乗車時間次第で6日間乗車できます。
石垣空港からも乗車できるので、無駄がありません。
2・3枚目の画像は、バスで行ったところ。
ただ本数は少なめのバス停も結構あるので、時刻表をじっくり見て予定を組み立てる必要があります。
時間を間違えると、ホテルや空港へ戻れなくなります。

I made a reservation for a 6-hour course from Naha Airport. Initially, I had planned to visit Kouri Island and Uruma Pottery, but it was suggested that it would take too much time to travel those distances, so I was offered an itinerary that included Kouri Island, Manzamo, the Kyoda Roadside Station, and Tsuboya Yachimun Street.

Since I had never been to any of these places, the itinerary, which was not part of the bus tour, turned out to be enjoyable and created great memories. Unfortunately, it was rainy, but I had a wonderful time chatting with the taxi driver during the ride. I would like to use this service again.

那覇空港から6時間コースで予約を入れさせて頂きました。当初の予定は古宇利島、うるま陶器など行く計画を立てていましたが距離的にかなり時間を費やして勿体無いとのことで、古宇利島から万座毛、道の駅許田、壺屋やちむん通りのご提案を下さいました。
どこも行ったことがないため、バスツアーにない行程でどの場所も楽しくいい思い出になりました。生憎雨模様でしたがタクシーの中では運転手さんとの会話も弾み楽しい時間が過ごせました。また利用させて頂きたいと思います。

I thought I could manage to tour around Irabu Island, excluding Shimoji Island, in about five hours. The driver's knowledge was decent since he had moved there four years ago. We rushed a bit, and we barely managed to fit Irabu Island and Shimoji Island into five hours, but we kept our stay at each location short. Since the speed limit is low across the island, I was surprised at how slow we were going at first.

伊良部島下地島除きなら5時間でまわれるかなと思って設定した。運転手の知識は移住して4年ということでまぁまぁ。結構急ぎで行ったら伊良部島、下地島込みでギリギリ5時間で収まったが、1カ所の滞在時間は短めにした。島全体で車のスピードを出さないので、はじめはゆっくりで驚いた。

There are many hotels within walking distance from the island terminal, making it very convenient. The usage is also very simple. When boarding from the airport, show the voucher issued by Veltra to the driver and receive your ticket (round trip). The driver will detach the ticket when you get off, so please present it as is. The bus has a front boarding and rear alighting system.

離島ターミナルから徒歩圏内にはホテルがたくさんありますので便利です。利用方法もとても簡単です。空港から乗車する時にVeltra発行のバウチャーをドライバーさんに見せ、乗車券（往復）を受け取ってください。降車時にドライバーさんが乗車券を切り離しますので、そのまま提示してください。バスは前乗り前降りです。

It's convenient to visit tourist spots, local supermarkets, drugstores, and Don Quijote within the island. It's a great deal at 2000 yen for five days. You just need to show your ticket to the driver when you get on and off.

島内の観光地、地元のスーパー、ドラックストア、ドン・キホーテなどに行くのに便利です。5日で2000円はとてもお得です。乗る時、降りる時にチケットを運転手さんに見せるだけです。
