The guidance at Ishigaki Port was very polite, and there was no confusion! The experience on Taketomi Island was also smooth. However, I regret not having made a reservation for a rental bicycle in advance, as everywhere was fully booked. Walking around the island during my free time was a bit tiring.
石垣港での案内もとても丁寧で迷うところなし!
竹富島での体験もスムーズでした。
ただ一つ、レンタサイクルがどこも予約でいっぱいで事前に手配しておけばよかったと後悔....。
自由時間中、徒歩で島を回るのは少ししんどかったです。

The content itself is not bad. They distributed some souvenir-like items, but I didn't expect them and they are unnecessary. Unnecessary costs reflect in the price, so they should stop that. However, overall, I think it's reasonable.
内容自体悪くない。 なんかおみやげ的なものを配布されたが、期待していないし不要。無駄なコストは価格に反映するので辞めるべき。
でも、総合的にリーゾナブルだと思う。

I visited Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island, and I rode a water buffalo twice. It was fun to cross the sea and ride around the islands while listening to the sanshin. The lunch bento was also a great value, allowing us to enjoy Okinawan ingredients. However, I was a bit disappointed that the mangrove tour lacked variety and felt very long and boring. That's why I gave it four stars.
西表島、由布島、竹富島、島巡りをし水牛には2度乗りました。海を渡ったり、島の中を三線を聞きながら乗ったりと楽しかったです。
お昼のお弁当も沖縄の食材を味わえお得感がありました。ただ少し残念だったのは、マングローブ遊覧には変化がなく、とても長く感じて退屈しました。
それで星4つにさせていただきました。

I requested a tour of the Okinawa battle sites in Yomitan Village. Because a local person guided us, we were able to visit all the sites, and along the way, they shared stories about the battle and their personal experiences related to it. This made for a much deeper learning experience about the Okinawa battle than I had anticipated. It became a valuable opportunity that cannot be measured by price. Thank you so much to our guide!!
読谷村の沖縄戦跡をリクエストして案内いただきました。
地元のかたが案内するからこそ、すべて訪ねることができ、道すがらにガイドや沖縄戦にまつわるご自身のお話もしてくださったことによって、予想を遥かにこえて、沖縄戦を深く学べた時間でした。
値段では計れない大切な機会となりました。

I found a half-day tour departing from Naha Airport at 2 PM and booked it immediately. There were some troubles on the day, which made me anxious, but they kindly assisted me, and I was able to participate without any issues. The Kariyushi Aquarium was beautiful and fun, and both Umikaji Terrace and American Village had stunning seas and plenty of delicious food, which left me very satisfied. Above all, the guide and the driver were very kind, which was heartwarming. The guide's stories about the base, Okinawa's flowers, and local specialties were truly enjoyable! This experience for the price was a great deal. Since there were still not many people around, I hope that Okinawa returns to its usual bustling atmosphere as soon as possible. I would love to join another tour as well!

On the last day, I wanted to efficiently enjoy sightseeing, so I signed up for the "Sefa Utaki + Gangala Valley" course. At Sefa Utaki, the guide provided explanations before our arrival, which was helpful when we actually explored the site. Gangala Valley offers a variety of plants and rare insects, and you can enjoy an adventurous experience by wandering through the caves with a lantern and taking in the views from the tree terrace. I was able to enjoy it more than I had expected. It was also nice to be dropped off at the airport at the end. Since you'll be walking outside, I think it's a good idea to prepare a change of clothes, especially if you're heading straight to the airport on the last day.
最終日も効率よく観光をしたかったので「斎場御獄+ガンガラーの谷」コースを申し込みました。
斎場御獄では、到着前にガイドさんが説明してくれたので、実際に見て回る時に参考になりました。
ガンガラーの谷は色んな植物や珍しい昆虫が見られ、ランタンを持って洞窟の中を散策したり、ツリーテラスから景色を見たり冒険気分が味わえます。
思っていた以上に楽しむことが出来ました。
最後に空港で下ろしてもらえのも良かったです。
外を散策するので、特に最終日でそのまま飛行機に乗るなら着替えを用意しておくと良いと思います。

Since my flight was around 7 PM on the last day of my trip, I wanted to make the most of the half day and made a reservation two days prior. It happened to be a day of high tide, so we were able to take a route on the Nakama River cruise that usually cannot be accessed due to low water levels, allowing us to see mangroves that can only be found there. However, the water level was so high that the roots, which are a characteristic of mangroves, were almost submerged. I feel that experiencing the jungle-like atmosphere of the mangroves would be better during low tide. We sat on the right side of the boat, but since the boat traveled upstream along the left bank, I wished we had sat on the left side. (This also depends on the water level, so it can't be said definitively.)
On Yubu Island, we had 90 minutes of free time, including lunch. It takes less than an hour to walk around the entire island, so the time was sufficient. Since the return trip goes via Taketomi Island, if you have extra time, I recommend getting off at Taketomi Island to explore by rental bicycle or ox cart. You can ride an ox cart on Yubu Island, so personally, I think it's best to cycle around Kondoi Beach and Kaiji Beach.
Next time, I want to stay on Iriomote Island and enjoy more activities on the island.
旅行最終日が19時頃の飛行機だったので半日を有効活用したいと思い、二日前に予約を取りました。ちょうど大潮の日の満潮時だったので仲間川のクルーズでは普段水位が足りなくて通ることができないコースを通ることができ、そこでしか見られないマングローブを見ることができました。ただ、水位が高過ぎてマングローブの特徴である根っ子はほぼ水没していました。マングローブのジャングルらしさを味わうなら干潮時の方がいいような気がします。私達はボート右側に座ったのですが、ボートは左岸に沿って川を遡ったので左側に座れば良かったと思いました。(これも水位によって航行ルートが変わるので一概には言えませんが)
由布島では昼食を含めて90分の自由時間がありました。島全体は1時間もかからずに一周できるので時間は充分です。帰りは竹富島経由なので時間に余裕があるなら竹富島で降りて、レンタサイクルや牛車で島を観光することをお勧めします。由布島で牛車に乗れるので、個人的にはレンタサイクルでコンドイ浜やカイジ浜を回るのが良いかと。
次回は西表島に宿泊してもっと島内のアクティビティを楽しみたいです。

I was satisfied with the sightseeing content, but the day before, I took a bus tour mainly in the southern region, and the bus guide at that time was very friendly. However, the guide on the second day felt somewhat mechanical? It seemed like they were following a manual. It would have been nice if the guide had made an effort to explain each location and help create better travel memories... it was a bit disappointing.
観光内容的には満足しましたが前日も南部を中心にバスツアーをしました、その時のバスガイドさんは、非常に親しみのあるガイドさんでしたが2日目のガイドさんは何か機械的?マニュアル通りのガイドさんでした。一生懸命場所場所の説明をし少しでもいい旅の思い出を作って貰おうとするガイドさんなら良かったのに・・・ちょっと残念でした。

The mangrove tour at Nakama River was excellent. The guide's explanations were easy to understand. I became interested in the types of mangroves and their fascinating characteristics. I wanted to see a bit more of Iriomote Island, but the water buffalo cart ride to Yubu Island, lunch, and the stroll through the botanical garden were all packed with activities. Even after all that, we returned to the hotel before 3 PM, and I was able to spend the rest of the time meaningfully. I'll save the visit to Taketomi for next time.
仲間川のマングローブツアーがとても良かったです。ガイドのお姉さんの説明も分かりやすい。マングローブの種類や不思議な性質に興味が湧きました。
西表島をもう少し見たかったですが、由布島への水牛車の渡し、ランチ、植物園散策と盛りだくさん。それだけ回ってホテルに戻ってもまだ15時前。その後の時間も有意義に過ごせました。竹富時は次回のお楽しみにしておきます。

My impression after finishing the tour is that it would be difficult to cover such a course in one day on my own. I didn't have to drive, I could listen to the guide's announcements at various points, there were appropriate bathroom breaks, I could eat a delicious lunch without needing a reservation, and I could sleep if I felt drowsy. It was a very fulfilling tour. Thanks to the guide's thoughtfulness, I had a great time. I also felt comfortable due to the driver's safe driving. It was a very good tour. I highly recommend it.
ツアーを終えての感想は、個人でこれだけのコースを一日で回るのは困難だと思いました。
運転する必要がなく、随所でアナウンスガイドが聞けて、適切なトイレ休憩もあり、美味しい昼食を予約せずにすぐに食べられて、眠くなったら寝られる。とても充実したツアーでした。ガイドさんの心配りで大変楽しく過ごすことができました。また運転手さんの安全運転のおかげで気分よく過ごせました。とてもよいツアーです。オススメします。

Until the day before, I hadn't explored Ishigaki Island, focusing instead on a tour centered around Iriomote Island and a night tour of Ishigaki Island, but I was able to easily take a quick tour by bus.

For lunch, I also enjoyed a proper meal from Ishigaki Island (with a bit of Yaeyama soba, perhaps?).

First, we were able to explore the mangroves by boat and take our time with photos (the guide was also very attentive). The water buffalo cart was a slow-paced ride, allowing us to enjoy sightseeing at a leisurely pace. On the way back, we returned a bit faster with a different guide, but it was no problem since it was the return trip.
Finally, on Taketomi Island, we rode bicycles using a map. I had selected places to visit in advance online, so we were able to explore with plenty of time to spare.
Additionally, lunch was prepared with local ingredients, which was satisfying. It’s a tour that you can enjoy at a relaxed pace throughout the day, even for someone over 60...

In the northern part of Yanbaru, I participated in my first solo bus tour. On the day of the tour, it was cloudy with occasional rain, and I was a bit anxious, but the cheerful greeting from the tour guide immediately put me at ease. The information I heard through the earphones was also educational. Thanks to the guide's flexible responses, I was able to visit the mangrove walkway, see the stunning view of Route 58 and Daishi Forest, enjoy lunch (which was a heavy downpour at that moment), visit Cape Hedo (a breathtaking view), and at Daishi Forest, I could admire the strange rocks, forest, and sea, managing to complete all the courses even though I wasn't very confident on my feet.
I was able to see the Yanbaru Kuina, and I realized that it was great to efficiently explore and learn through this tour rather than going without any knowledge. By the way, I had a great time chatting at the local sweets shop at the roadside station we stopped at (the tart and cream puffs were the best).
Next time, I want to stay in the northern area and take my time to revisit the places on my own. I must mention the tour guide, YK! Even though she must have been more tired than I was after two consecutive tours, she kept the atmosphere bright and lively throughout. What a professional! Her parting words, "Let's meet again someday!" really touched me.
K-san, I would love to see you again! Thank you very much.
やんばる北部、初の独りバスツアーで、当日は曇り空ぽつぽつ雨の中不安ながらの参加でしたが、最初の添乗員さんの底抜けに明るいご挨拶に心も解れ、イヤホンで所々聞く案内も勉強になりました。添乗員さんの臨機応変なご対応で、マングローブの遊歩道、ルート58と大石林山のツーショット、お昼ごはん(ここだけ大雨)、辺戸岬(絶景)、そして大石林山では奇岩、森林、海を眺めながら、足に自信がない私でも全てのコースを廻ることができました。
ヤンバルクイナも見られたし、何も知らないで行くより先ずこちらのツアーで効率よく廻って学べたのは良いなと。
そうそう、最後立ち寄った道の駅の地元のスイーツ屋さんでお話も出来て(タルト、シュークリーム最高)楽しかったです。
次回は北部に宿をとり、ゆっくり自分の足で復習に廻りたいと思いました。

Having done quite a few guided river cruises in Southeast Asia, I wasn't particularly impressed. We then transferred to another bus to go to the water buffalo cart station. The water buffalo cart ride while listening to Yaeyama folk songs was nice! The Okinawan cuisine at Yubu Island, accompanied by explanations, was delicious! After the meal, we took a commemorative photo with the water buffalo "Rui-kun"! I wanted the photo data and purchased two for 2500 yen. You can quickly download the data with a QR code. Then, there was a thunderstorm! During that time, we enjoyed Yubu Island coffee and cake at the Yubu Island tea house. The coffee was very tasty with a slight acidity. It seems to be a daily blend. When the rain lightened up, we returned to Iriomote Island by water buffalo cart, switched buses to go to the port, and took a boat to Taketomi Island. We took another bus and visited two beaches. At the much-anticipated Hoshizuna Beach, the rain stopped, but we couldn't find any star sand... After that, we enjoyed a guided tour of Taketomi while listening to Yaeyama folk songs on the water buffalo cart. After finishing, we took a commemorative photo. The data costs from 1500 yen. With only 20 minutes left, we went up to the observation building, bought ice cream at an ice cream shop, and ran around—then took the bus back to the port to return... I wish they could shorten the cruise time and give us an additional 30 minutes for sightseeing on Taketomi Island. It was quite a hassle to tear off and present tickets for every part of the itinerary. I would prefer a system where you just show a printed wristband with the course number, like at an amusement park.
朝から曇りのお天気でした。最初に全ての行程のチケット綴りが渡されます。
色々なツアーの方と一緒でした。西表島までは結構長かったです。バスに乗り換え、クルーズ船乗り場まで行きます。運転手兼ガイドさんが喋りが上手いです!クルーズ船に乗り換え、マングローブ見学。東南アジアあちこちで、手漕ぎ船ガイド付きリバークルーズを、かなりしたので、イマイチ感動は無かったです。またバスに乗り換え水牛車乗り場まで行きます。八重山民謡を聴きながらの水牛車は良かったです!由布島について、説明付きの沖縄料理も美味しかったです!食後に水牛「るいくん」と記念撮影!写真データが欲しくて2枚2500円購入しました。QRコードですぐにテータ取り込めます。そこで雷雨のスコール!!その間、由布島茶屋で由布島コーヒーとケーキをいただきました。少し酸味のあるとても美味しいコーヒーでした。日替わりブレンドだそうです。小雨になるころにまた水牛車で西表島に帰り、バスに乗り替え港へ行き船で竹富島まで行きます。またバスに乗り2つ浜を回りました。楽しみの星砂浜で雨が上がりましたが、星砂は見つからず・・・。その後、水牛車にてガイドと八重山民謡を聴き竹富観光。終了後記念撮影。データーは、1500円~。
残り時間20分で展望ビルに上り、アイスの商店でアイス購入し、走り回り~またバスで港へ行き船で帰港・・・。クルーズ時間を短くするかして竹富島観光時間を、あと30分は取って欲しい。全ての行程でチケットを切り取り、出すのが大変でした。遊園地の腕輪のようにコース番号印刷をはめれば見せるだけでOKみたいなものを使ってほしいです。

1: I went to see the mangroves in Amami Oshima first, and this time the mangroves were quite disappointing. I do not recommend it. During the hour-long cruise, I listened to music and did other things. I will upload photos on social media, as a reality check.
2: Regarding the ox cart, I was informed by the local staff that moving to a different seat (especially towards the back) puts significant strain on the ox's neck, which has led to instances of fainting and even life-threatening situations in the past. It would have been better if this information had been provided during the adjustment phase when we were confirming our seating positions before departure, but this discussion happened during the return trip. I found it very stressful to receive a stern warning without prior explanation during the outbound trip when we were fixing our seats. I will never visit this island again. It was a very unpleasant experience, and I will not support it.
3: Additionally, the tour did not include the "2022 shuttle bus timetable" until I pointed it out. It was still showing the expired link from early 2021. The management staff seems to be involved with both the tour company and the matching site. I couldn't understand the operational awareness of the management staff.
4: I received a phone call the day before the tour to inform me of the meeting time (the same applies to other tours), but it was frustrating that, despite the application being online, the follow-up was done via phone. If it's an IP call, it incurs charges, and during my trip to Okinawa, I was busy the day before and in remote areas with poor reception (which I experienced). I strongly request improvements to the operational system. Essentially, the goal is to ensure mutual recognition of the meeting time and place. If so, it would be sufficient to transition to a screen where we can click through using the email address we used for the application, right? While developing an app or a large-scale system can be costly, this kind of task could be handled by a small team in a short time. I applied for two tours during my trip to Okinawa, but considering the shortcomings of the current system, I will not be repeating. Please enhance IT knowledge, update the latest information, and reconsider your marketing strategies.
Based on the reasons and experiences above, I believe it would be better to arrange individual options myself rather than relying on the tour application to avoid dissatisfaction.
1:奄美大島のマングローブを先に見に行っていると、今回のマングローブはかなりのガッカリレベル。おすすめはしない。
約一時間の遊覧中、音楽聴いて別のことしてました。
SNS等で写真はアップします。実態として。
2:牛車では、座っている場所を移動(特に後方)すると牛の首に強度の負荷が生じ、気絶や生命につながる事案が過去幾度も発生したため現地担当者は懸念している旨説明がありました。
牛車がまだ出発前の段階で各自の席位置を確定させる調整段階の時に上記話があればよかったのですが、この話は帰りの牛車時でした。行きの牛車時に説明なく(かつ出発前の席固定調整時)に強い口調で注意だけされた私には非常にストレスフルでした。
二度とこの島へは行きません。非常に不快な思いでです。支援もしません。
3:また本ツアーは「2022送迎バス時刻表」を私が指摘するまで掲載がありませんでした。リンク期限切れの2021年前半掲載のままでした。
管理担当者はツアー会社側と本仲介(マッチングサイト)両者と推測されます。管理担当者の運用意識が私にはわかりかねました。
4:ツアー前日に電話がかかってきてその際に集合時間を案内されますが(他ツアーも同じく)申し込みがWebなのにその後アナログ対応で電話とは。。。IP電話だと電話代発生しますし沖縄旅行だと前日もバタバタしていたり離島や電波の悪い場所にいたり(私はそうでした)。運用システムの改善を強く要望します。
要は、目的が「集合時間、場所相互認識一致」ですよね。
なら申し込みに使用したメールアドレスからそのような画面へうつってクリックするなりすれば目的は果たせますよね?
アプリや大掛かりなシステム開発では費用がかさむこともありますが
この程度のものなら短時間少人数で対応できるわけです。
今回沖縄旅行で2つのツアーを申し込みましたが、現システムの悪さを踏まえてもリピートはありません。
IT知識向上と最新情報のブラッシュアップ、マーケティングを再度見直してください。
上記理由と体験から、ツアー申し込みよりも個別オプションを自分で手配した方が不満回避になると思いました。

We also apologize for the shortcomings in the shuttle bus information. We will strive to review and improve to prevent such issues in the future.
Regarding the phone call the day before, we understand that it can be difficult for some to check emails, and there are also important matters that require confirmation, so we appreciate your understanding as we utilize phone calls as a means of communication.
We will take your feedback into consideration and, as a team, we will work to tighten our approach and consider simplifying our communications so that as many people as possible can enjoy their travels with a smile. Thank you for your valuable input.
