All Reviews for Top Okinawa Attractions

I could see a nice view of the precipitous cliff at Manzamou.

I enjoyed Churaumi Aquarium. I thought it was not enough time to see all of it.

Lastly, I joined a Sanshin Live at the restaurant. It was quite nice.

The tour conductor was working hard. She even played the Sanshin.

I had a good time on this bus tour.

Indeed, winter in Okinawa tends to have cloudy and rainy weather. Currently, rental car prices in Okinawa are soaring, so a bus tour might be a good option for a day. The advantage of a bus tour is that the guide shares insights about Okinawa's culture and history, which is very educational.

やはり冬の沖縄は、曇り雨の天気が続きます。今沖縄ではレンタカー料金が高騰しているので1日程度ならバスツアーでもいいと思います。バスツアーの利点はガイドさんが沖縄の文化や歴史などを語ってくださるので勉強になります。

We gathered at 8:30 and had a tight schedule visiting Ryukyu Village, Manza Beach, Churaumi Aquarium, Kouri Island, and Okashi Goten, but the day flew by in no time. The time spent at each location was a bit short, but given the itinerary, it was unavoidable, and we still managed to enjoy each spot thoroughly. We ended with a course that included steak at this price. Since the entrance fees for both Churaumi Aquarium and Ryukyu Village are included, I think it's a great deal. I appreciated how the guide kept us engaged with interesting stories and made efforts to ensure we adhered to the schedule; it must have been challenging.

8:30に集合し、琉球村、万座毛、美ら海、古宇利島、お菓子御殿と、タイトなスケジュールでしたが、あっという間に１日が終わりました。
その場その場での滞在時間は少し短めですが、これだけの行程を楽しもうと思えば仕方ないし、それでも、そこをしっかり楽しめました。
最後ステーキ付きのコースにして、この値段。美ら海も琉球村も入場料込みなので、お得なコースだと思います。
ガイドさんは、飽きさせないように話したり、また、時間厳守を伝えるために工夫したり、大変だと思いました。

This was my third time diving in Ishigaki Island. On the last day, I had been on island tours to Taketomi Island and Iriomote Island, but I was hoping to find a land tour that would drop me off at the airport. I was lucky to come across this option.

The meeting time at the bus terminal was just right, not too early, and I was really grateful that I could store my heavy luggage in the bus's storage space.

Above all, the guide was amazing! Thanks to the bus guide, I had a wonderful time filled with smiles on my last day in Ishigaki Island. I was able to learn about the highlights and the history of various places.

I viewed Momorin Temple from the bus window, so I prepared in advance by renting a bicycle to visit. This temple is accessible by bike from the city center.

ダイビングで3回目の石垣島、最終日これまで竹富島や西表島への離島ツアーでしたが、陸のツアーで最後空港で降ろしてもらえないかなぁ、そんな都合のいいことないかなと探していたら、願ったり叶ったりのこちらへたどり着きました。
バスターミナルの集合も早過ぎることなくちょうどいい、重たい荷物はバスの預けスペースに入れてもらえるので、とっても助かりました。
何よりガイドさんが、素晴らしい！！
バスガイドさんのおかげで、石垣島のラスト笑顔の絶えない楽しい時間になりました。
見どころをおさえた、また各地の歴史についても、
お話を聞けました。
桃林寺は車窓からなので、事前にレンタサイクルで予習して行きました。このお寺は市街地から自転車で行ける場所です。

I took a bus from the hotel where I was staying and got off in front of the hotel on the way back. It was very convenient. The tour included admission tickets to the Churaumi Aquarium and a light snack sandwich, making it a great deal. At Pineapple Park, perhaps because I was relaxing too much, the shopping time was reduced, so I recommend that those who enjoy shopping hurry a bit with their sightseeing in the park.

宿泊しているホテルからバスに乗り、復路もホテル前で降車。
とても楽でした。
美ら海水族館の入場券もつき、軽食のサンドイッチもついてお得感があるツアーでした。
パイナップルパークではのんびりしたせいか？ショッピングタイムが少なくなってしまいましたので買い物好きな方は園内の見学を少しお急ぎになる事をおすすめします。

I didn't rent a car, so I was able to go to the places I wanted by joining a bus tour. It was great to hear various stories about Okinawa from the guide.

レンタカーを借りていないのでバスツアーに参加して行きたい場所に行けました。
ガイドさんの沖縄の色々な話を聞けて良かったです。

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

The staff were kind and taught us patiently, and since we visited three spots, I was able to enjoy it without getting bored. I participated alone, but I was able to make friends with others on the same course. I was also happy with the bento lunch, warm drinks, and photo services. Although I didn't see any sea turtles this time, the weather was nice and the sea was very beautiful, which was moving. I was really happy to be able to try jumping off the boat and finally go free diving. Thank you very much!! I want to participate again!

スタッフの方々が優しく丁寧に教えてくれて、スポットも3カ所回るので飽きずに楽しめました。ひとりでの参加でしたが同じコースの人達とも仲良くなれました。お弁当や暖かい飲み物、写真のサービスも嬉しかったです。今回はウミガメは見れませんでしたが天気が良くとても綺麗な海で感動しました。船の上からの飛び込みや、念願の素潜りにも挑戦できてとても嬉しかったです。ありがとうございました！！また参加したいです！

I had an amazing time kayaking in the beautiful waters of Okinawa. Even in December, the seawater was pleasantly warm and felt great to touch. My sister was kayaking for the first time, and she was really scared at first, thinking she might drown because of my poor steering. However, the bright and kind instructor taught us patiently, which made her feel safe and allowed us to enjoy the experience.

We opted for the drone filming plan, and they filmed for a longer time than we expected, providing us with a lot of videos. It was a great memory since it was my sister's first trip in three years, and she has been busy with parenting.

The initial reservation date had bad weather, but we were able to change the schedule, and I’m really glad we could finally go kayaking as we had been looking forward to it. Thank you very much!

綺麗な沖縄の海で伸び伸びとシーカヤックができて最高に楽しかったです。（12月でも海水がほんのり温かくて、触ると気持ちよかったです。）
妹ははじめてのカヤックで、私の操作が下手すぎてはじめは溺れてしまうのでは・・ととても怖かったようですが、明るく親切なインストラクターの方が丁寧に教えてくださって安心して楽しめたと言っていました。
ドローン撮影プランにしたのですが、思っていたよりも長い時間撮影いただいて動画をたくさんいただきました。子育てに忙しい妹と3年ぶりの旅行だったので良い記念になりました。
最初の予約日は天候が悪く、日程変更いただくことができ、楽しみにしていたシーカヤックができて本当によかったです。ありがとうございました。

It was my long-awaited snorkeling experience in the Kerama Islands. I was a bit anxious since I was alone, but the staff were all incredibly warm and made it easy to enjoy without any worries.

The tour included free towels, lunch, and drinks! They took us to three different spots, so I was able to enjoy the entire day without getting bored!!

I've been snorkeling several times since last year, but this was by far the best! I immediately recommended it to my friends! I definitely want to use this service again next year!

念願の慶良間諸島シュノーケリングでした。
一人なので不安もありましたが
スタッフの方がすごく温かい人ばかりで
不安なく楽しめました。

ツアーもタオル、昼食、飲み物も無料！
3つのポイントに案内してもらえるので
飽きることなく丸一日満喫できました！！

昨年からシュノーケリングを何度かしていますが
こちらが断トツに良かったです！
早速お友達にお勧めしました！
また来年にでも
絶対利用したいと思います！

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 was able to enjoy mangrove kayaking even in the rain! The instructor provided detailed explanations about the mangroves and guided us carefully, allowing us to have a fulfilling experience!

雨でもマングローブカヤックを楽しむ事ができました！
インストラクターの方がマングローブを細かく説明してくれたり、マングローブを丁寧に案内してくれたりして、充実した時間を過ごす事ができました！

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。

I request this every year.
Seeing the growth of children who can't swim while snorkeling in the ocean is very moving.
I am grateful for the one-on-one attention and the various things they teach the children from start to finish.

毎年お願いしています。
海でのシュノーケリングは泳げない子供の成長が見られてとても感動します。
最初から最後までしっかりと子供とマンツーマンで色んなことを教えてくれるので感謝してます。

On December 8, 2022, I participated in snorkeling with my daughter. Thanks to the professional and friendly staff, we were able to enjoy our first snorkeling experience with peace of mind! We even filmed underwater videos, and my daughter had a fantastic time.

Our trip to Okinawa became an amazing day thanks to Marine Club Berry! The Kerama Blue was incredible! We even saw sea turtles!

2022.12.8にシュノーケリングに娘と参加しました☺︎ プロフェッショナルでフレンドリーなスタッフの皆さんのお陰で安心して初シュノーケリングを堪能できました！
夢だった水中の動画も撮ったり、娘も思いっきり楽しんでいました☺︎


沖縄旅行がマリンクラブベリーさんのお陰で最高な日になりました！！
慶良間ブルー最高でした！！！！
海亀も見れました！！

It was disappointing that we couldn't go to the Blue Cave due to the rough waves, but we went snorkeling in a different location and were thrilled to see such beautiful fish. The guide was friendly and made the experience enjoyable. The mangrove kayaking was also relaxing, with the gentle flow of the river and the scenery being very soothing.

波が荒れていて青の洞窟に行けなくて残念でしたが、違う場所でシュノーケリングをしましたが、とても綺麗な魚達が見れて感激しました。
ガイドのお姉さんも気さくな方で楽しめました。
マングローブのカヤックも穏やかな川の流れと景色に癒やされました。

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。

I visited during the off-season in November on a weekday, but it was quite crowded. The main aquarium tank and the dolphin show had a significant number of people. The facility is very satisfying as an aquarium with fish, sea turtles, and dolphins.

On the other hand, my evaluation of the voucher from Veltra is neither good nor bad for the following reasons:

- You have to pick up the tickets at a commercial facility about a 5-minute drive from the aquarium.
- The staff at that commercial facility did not understand the voucher, which caused delays in receiving it.
- The discount rate is the same 10% off as the advance tickets available at nearby convenience stores.

沖縄のオフシーズンである11月の平日に行きましたが、
結構混んでいました。　館内メイン水槽やイルカショーなどはかなりの人混みでした。　魚やウミガメ、イルカなど水族館としては大満足の施設です。
一方、ベルトラの引換券としての評価は可もなく不可もなくで、理由は以下の通りです。

・水族館から車で5分程度の商業施設でチケットを受け取らないといけない
・その商業施設の店員が引換券を理解しておらず、受け取りに時間がかかる
・割引率は周辺のコンビニで購入できる前売り券と同様10%OFF

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。

Due to strong winds, we couldn't go to the Blue Cave, but we enjoyed snorkeling at an alternative spot! Since we took the early morning boat, there were few people in the sea, making it very comfortable. The instructor was very kind and supportive, and we had a lot of interesting stories, which made for a joyful time.

I definitely want to request this again when I come to Okinawa next time! I highly recommend it!

強風のため青の洞窟には行けませんでしたが、代わりのスポットでシュノーケリングを楽しみました！早朝便のため海に人も少なく快適でした。インストラクターさんはとても優しくサポートしてくださり、おもしろいお話もたくさんで笑顔の多い時間を過ごせました。

次回沖縄に来た時も是非お願いしたいと思います！おすすめです！

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。

We experienced kayaking for the first time as a couple! The guide was very kind and taught us a lot, and she also took many photos for us! The mangroves were incredibly mysterious, and I was thrilled to learn about the ecology and names of the plants. The Blue Cave was canceled due to weather conditions, but we still had so much fun kayaking! Additionally, she recommended a great yakiniku restaurant in Ishigaki, so we had yakiniku for dinner! We spent the whole day feeling happy. I definitely want to join this tour again when I come back to Ishigaki!

初めてのカヤックを夫婦で体験しました！
ガイドのお姉さんが優しく教えてくださり、写真もたくさん撮ってくださりました！
マングローブはとても神秘的で、植物の生態や名前などいろいろ教えていただき感激しました。
青の洞窟は天候の関係でキャンセルになりましたがカヤックだけでもとっても楽しかったです！
また、石垣島のお勧め焼肉屋さんも教えてくださり晩御飯は焼肉！一日中幸せな気分で過ごせました☆
また石垣島に来る際はもう一度このツアーに絶対参加したいです！！

I was able to enjoy riding a canoe with my friends and take lots of photos. The water buffalo cart to Yufujima moved at a leisurely pace, which was very pleasant. I made wonderful memories with a lovely family while canoeing.

友達とカヌーに乗って写真もたくさん撮って楽しむ事が出来ました。由布島へ渡る水牛車はのんびりと進んでいく時間がとても心地よかったですね。カヌーでは可愛い親子連れと仲良くなり、素敵な思い出が作れました。

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。

I participated in a tour where we went snorkeling in the morning and mangrove canoeing in the afternoon. During the tour, the guide kept the atmosphere lively and took many photos for us.

午前はシュノーケル、午後はマングローブカヌーをするツアーに参加しました。ツアー参加中にガイドの方が盛り上げてくれたり、たくさん写真を撮ってくれました。

The first time doing SUP and snorkeling was so much fun!!! I even got to see a sea turtle, and it was so cute! It was so enjoyable that I want to do it again next time in Miyako Island!

初のsupとシュノーケルとても楽しかった！！！
ウミガメにも会えてとても可愛いかった〜！あまりに楽しかったので今度は宮古島でやりたい！

The weather was cloudy, but the temperature in November was neither too hot nor too cold, making it perfect for snorkeling. The staff guided us to both shallow and deep areas, and I was amazed by the breathtaking view where I could see dozens of fish and the clear ocean floor even at depths of over 10 meters!

I definitely want to go again, and next time I want to try diving as well.

Thank you very much.

お天気は雲でしたが、11月の気温は暑くも寒くもなく、シュノーケリングには最適でした。
海ではスタッフの方が浅瀬や深場へと導いてくれて、何十種類ものお魚が、水深10メートル以上の所までも透き通った
海の底まで見える絶景に感動しかありません！

また、絶対に行きたいし、次はダイビングもしたいです。

ありがとうございました。

Thanks to our guide Luna's personality, we were able to enjoy canoeing in a friendly atmosphere with the other participants. Later, we received photos, which became great memories. Thank you for your support.

ガイドのルナさんのお人柄か他の参加者の方とも和やかにカヌーを楽しめ、後ほど写真も送っていただき、良い思い出になりました。お世話になりありがとうございます。
