All Reviews for 巴士之旅（バスツアー）

Following my trip to Hawaii, I was also well taken care of during my time in Okinawa. The tour guide and the driver were kind and attentive. I traveled alone, but it was comfortable. It was a packed tour, so I highly recommend it for sightseeing in Okinawa. However, there were many overseas visitors, and the strong fragrance from the front row made it difficult for me throughout the day.

ハワイに続き、今回の沖縄でもお世話になりました。ツアー担当の方も運転手さんも親切で丁寧。一人旅で利用しましたが、快適でした。沢山詰め込んだツアーだったので大変沖縄観光ではオススメです。ただ、海外の方も多く、前列のフレグランスがきつくて、終日辛かった。

I have fond memories of experiencing the water buffalo cart when I was a child, so this time I participated with my family. The tour itself was satisfactory with polite service from the ferry terminal, but the water buffalo cart, which I was looking forward to, was disappointing. Perhaps because our group was the largest (7 people), we were assigned to go last, even though we weren't the last to arrive. Additionally, since half of us, including my husband, were British, the guide hardly paid us any attention, and being at the back meant we could barely hear anything, which was quite disappointing.

水牛車は私が子どもの頃に体験して良い想い出に残っていたので、今回自分の家族と参加しました。ツアー自体はフェリー乗り場からご丁寧な対応で満足でしたが、楽しみにしていた水牛車は、私たちのグループが1番大人数(7人)だったせいか、最後に着いた訳では無いのに1番最後に回され、主人も含め半分イギリス人だったせいか、ガイドにも全く相手にされず、1番後ろだったのでほとんど雑音にしか聞こえずがっかりでした。

The strong winds made the waves high, which was a bit tense. The wind was cold, and it rained occasionally, making it a chilly day for this season. However, I was able to enjoy nature, which you can't experience in the city, and it was refreshing. I definitely want to participate again. Next time, I will be mindful of my actions to ensure good weather.

強風のため波が高くやや緊張しました。風が冷たく時折雨が降るなどこの時季にしては寒い日となりました。しかしながら、都会では感じられない自然を満喫できリフレッシュしました。またぜひとも参加したいです。今度は好天になるよう普段からの行いに注意します。

Overall, it was just okay. What I didn't like was the star sand in Taketomi. I felt it hasn't changed at all in 30 years and is in a terrible state. There have been improvements in the bus service in Komini. Overall, I hope they enhance the tourist experience more.

全体的には　まあまあかな
よくなかったのは　竹富の星の砂
30年前と全然変わってなく　ひどい状態と感じた
コミニのバス運行に工夫改良あり
全体的にもっと観光の見る体験を
充実してほしい

The weather was unfortunate, but I enjoyed it enough. The time management was good, and I didn't get bored even participating alone. The cows were so cute! 🩷

　あいにくの天気でしたが、十分楽しめました
時間配分も良く、一人参加でも退屈しませんでした
牛さんたちが可愛いかった🩷

Since I participated from within Naha City, it turned into a long tour from morning until night.

I was satisfied that we could efficiently visit the places I wanted to see. It would have been tough to arrange everything on my own. If I had used a rental car, I would have been exhausted.

During the travel, I could rest and even sleep.

那覇市内から参加したので朝から夜までの長時間なツアーになりました

観光したい場所を効率よく回れて満足です
自分で一つ一つ手配するのは大変です
レンタカーを使用したとすれば疲れてしまったでしょう

移動中は休めるし寝ることも出来ます

I'm glad I was able to visit the Churaumi Aquarium and Kouri Island. It was rainy, but I had a great time. The guide was humorous and a nice person.

美ら海水族館や古宇利島へ行けて良かったです。雨模様でしたが楽しめました。ガイドさんもユーモアがあって良い方でした。

I was surprised by the size. The aquarium was nice, but the flowers in the botanical garden were beautiful, and I was surrounded by a lovely fragrance. I think I might have needed a little more time.

広さにびっくりしました。
水族館もよかったのですが、植物園の花が綺麗で、素敵な香りにつつまれました。
ちょっと時間がたりなかったかなーと思います。

I thought it would be tight on time to explore Mishima in one day, so I opted for a tour departing for Taketomi Island at 2:30 PM. Thanks to that, I was able to spend the morning enjoying an experience playing with dolphins, making it a meaningful day.

We departed from the Euglena Island Terminal at 2:30 PM and arrived at Taketomi Island in less than ten minutes. We boarded a microbus that took us to the water buffalo cart terminal station (laughs).

There, we checked in for the water buffalo cart ride and waited for our names to be called by the staff. Since the number of people who can ride the water buffalo cart is limited, they consider the size of the group when distributing spots.

After a few minutes of waiting, my name was called, and I boarded the water buffalo cart. From there, we embarked on a 30-minute city tour while listening to the guide's explanations and watching the buffalo's rear end (laughs). The buffalo knows the route and walks on its own, but the guide manages the pace, hurrying or stopping as needed to maintain distance from the cart in front.

While some roads on Taketomi Island are paved, the paths for the water buffalo cart are all unpaved sandy roads. We moved at a slower pace than a person walking, but the buildings and the trees and flowers planted here and there created a landscape that truly felt like "this is Okinawa! This is the Yaeyama Islands," which was moving. Sometimes the guide played the sanshin and sang, creating a nice atmosphere. It was amusing when the buffalo decided to take a break while the music was playing, causing the cart to stop.

We circled around the main street of the island and returned to the water buffalo gathering spot at the station where we started, where we disembarked. We could take a commemorative photo, but it was a small card-sized picture, so if you want a clearer two-shot with the buffalo, you can purchase it for 1,800 yen. We bought it.

After that, we had about an hour until the return boat departed. If we had rented bicycles, we could have made it to the Star Sand Beach, but we decided to leisurely explore the village instead.

We enjoyed seeing various sights and sipping on banana smoothies, which made for a perfectly timed experience. From there, we took the bus back to the port from where we first disembarked. We even had time to browse for souvenirs before the return boat arrived.

We boarded the same boat at 5 PM to return to Ishigaki. We got off the boat around 5:10 PM, making it roughly a two-and-a-half-hour tour. It was just right for a half-day of fun. I recommend it for those who are thinking, "I have some free time in the afternoon."

If you want to experience the leisurely space and time that you often see in images, definitely give it a try.

一日で三島を巡るのは時間的にきつそうと思い，竹富島へは午後２時半出発のツアーとしました。おかげで午前中にイルカと遊ぶ体験をする時間も取れて有意義な一日を過ごすことができました。
２時半にユーグレナ離島埠頭を出港して１０分足らずで竹富島に到着。待っていたマイクロバスに乗って水牛車のターミナルステーション(笑)まで運んでもらえます。
そこで水牛車に乗る受付をして、係の人に名前を呼ばれるのを待ちます。水牛車に乗れる人数が限られるので先方がグループの人数などを考慮して配分してくれます。
待つこと数分で名前を呼ばれて水牛車に乗り込みます。それからは牛使いさんの説明を聞きながら水牛のお尻をずっと見ながら(笑)約３０分の市内周遊ツアーをすることになります。
牛さんは道順を覚えているので自発的に歩きますが、前の車との間隔などを配慮して牛使いさんが急がせたり止めたりしています。竹富島の道は舗装されているとこもありますが、水牛車が通る道は全て砂地の未舗装路です。そこをもったりもったり人が歩むより遅い速度で巡回するのですが、途中の建物やそこかしこに植えられた木や花が「これぞ沖縄！これぞ八重山諸島」という風景で感動します。時には牛使いさんが三線を弾いてアユタを歌ってきたりしていい感じ。音楽が流れている間中、牛さんが休憩してしまい水牛車が止まるのはご愛敬。島内のメイン通りをぐるっと回って出発したステーションのところにある水牛のたまり場？まで帰ってきてそこで下車です。
乗車記念で写真を撮ってもらえますが、それは名刺大くらいの小さなものなのでもっとはっきりした牛とのツーショットが欲しい場合は1,800円で購入です。うちは買いました。
それから帰港する船が出るまで約1時間くらいでした。レンタサイクルを利用すれば星の砂のビーチくらいまでは行けそうでしたが、自分たちはゆったり村内を回ることにしました。
あちこち見たり途中でバナナスムージーを飲んだりしてちょうどいい感じの時間配分でした。そこで最初にバスを降りたところから港へバスで送ってもらいます。そして帰りの船が来るまでお土産を見て回る時間もある位程度ありました。
乗ってきたのと同じ船に17時に乗って石垣へ帰ります。
船から降りると17時10分くらい。概ね2時間半くらいのツアーです。
半日遊ぶのにちょうどいい感じでした。時間的に「午後が空くなあ」と思ってる方にはおすすめです。

よく見るイメージ通りののんびりした空間・時間を味わいたい方、行ってみてください。

I couldn't drive, so it was great to be able to visit various sightseeing spots in central Okinawa on a bus tour. The plan included admission fees and was even discounted for students, so I felt it was a good deal. There was also enough time to buy souvenirs, so I was able to get most of what I wanted.

車に乗れないのでバスツアーで沖縄中部の観光スポットを一通りまわれるのが良かったです。入場料込みでさらに料金は学割で安くなったのでお得感があるプランだと思います。お土産を買う時間もちゃんと用意されてるので欲しい分はだいたい買えました。

We participated with children. The main goal was Pineapple Park, as requested by the kids (which I think is unusual, haha). After receiving an explanation from the staff, while we were buying the cart tickets, a tour bus with an overseas group arrived, and since they already had their cart tickets, they cut in line ahead of us.

50 minutes wasn't enough time, and we rushed past the souvenir shop without being able to see it. Although it was a short time, I'm glad the kids seemed satisfied. The bus guide was also very kind, and we had a fun day. Since we didn't have a rental car, the bus tour was a great help. Thank you very much.

子連れで参加しました。子供の希望でパイナップルパークが一番の目的でした。（珍しいと思いますが(^^;)）店員さんの説明を受けてからカートのチケットを買っていたら海外の団体バスツアーが到着してしまい、その団体さんはすでにカートチケットを持っていた為、並び列が抜かされてしまいました。
50分では時間が足らず、お土産屋さんは見られず駆け足で通り過ぎました。短い時間でしたが子供は満足したようで良かったです。
バスガイドさんもとても親切で一日楽しく過ごせました。レンタカーがないのでバスツアーとても助かりました。ありがとうございました。

I had a very fulfilling day on a packed sightseeing tour. I felt safe participating even as a solo female traveler. The guide's instructions and smile were wonderful.

盛りだくさんな観光ツアーで、大変充実した一日を過ごすことができました。女性一人でも安心して参加できました。ガイドさんの案内も笑顔も素敵でした。

It's quite difficult to set everything up by yourself, isn't it? Adjusting each schedule and making arrangements, among other things. I'm glad it went smoothly and efficiently. I rode the water buffalo cart twice, but once might have been enough.

自分では、なかなか全部を設定するのは難しいですよね。それぞれのタイムスケジュール調整や手配などなど。効率的に回れて、良かったです。
水牛車に2回乗りましたが、1回でも十分だったかも。

The guide's stories were enjoyable. However, there was one part that felt rushed, and I wished we had more time to take it slow. The Pineapple Park was also crowded with carts, so we had to run back to the bus afterward. It would have been better to visit the candy castle at the end or skip it altogether. I would like to see options for going to Neo Park and other places as well. Since there are many locations based on the meeting hotel, I would prefer them to be divided by region.

ガイドさんのお話が楽しかった、
ただ一つの箇所がやっぱり忙しく、もっと時間をとって欲しい、もっとゆっくりみたかった、パイナップルパークもカートが混んでいたので、そのあと走ってバスに戻った、
お菓子御殿は最後にするか、なしでもよかった、ネオパークや、他のところに行くパターンも作って欲しい、
集合ホテルによる箇所が多いので地域で分けて欲しい

My first time in Okinawa, and although the weather was unfortunate, the bus tour efficiently took us to the main tourist spots! The bus guide was quick and pleasant! Since I went with my daughter, we couldn't take many photos together, but I appreciate the bus guide for taking pictures for us. I think the time allocation at the Churaumi Aquarium was just right. The Pineapple Park was surreal but fun!

初めての沖縄、あいにくの天気でしたが、バスツアーで主要の観光地を効率良く回ってくれました！
バスガイドさんがテキパキしていて気持ちいい！娘と2人でいったためなかなかツーショットでとれなかったのですがバスガイドそんが写真をとってくださり感謝しています。
美ら海水族館もちょうどいい時間配分だったと思います。パイナップルパークはシュールてしたが楽しかったです！

Unfortunately, it was rainy. We managed to make it to Manza Beach, but the Pineapple Park and Kouri Island that we were looking forward to were pouring rain. Fortunately, I had a folding umbrella, which helped a lot; without rain gear, it would have been a disaster.

I had heard there wouldn't be time for lunch, so it was a good decision to buy bread in advance. We were able to have a calm lunch without getting off at the Okashi Goten, as there were no other customers around.

The Churaumi Aquarium was amazing. In particular, the feeding of the whale sharks was breathtaking. I was thrilled to see them swimming vertically while eating.

On the way back, it was helpful that we scheduled a bathroom break early, anticipating traffic.

あいにくの雨模様でした。万座毛まではもちましたが、楽しみにしていたパイナップルパークと古宇利島はどしゃ降りでした。幸い折り畳み傘を持っていて助かりましたが、雨具がなかったら大変なことになっていました。
昼食の時間がないと聞いていたので事前にパンを買っていって正解でした。お菓子御殿で下車しないで、他のお客さんがいない中、落ち着いて昼食を取れました。
美ら海水族館は最高でした。特に、ジンベイザメの餌やりは圧巻。あの巨体を垂直にして立ち泳ぎしながら食事している姿に大興奮しました。
帰路、渋滞を見越して早めにトイレの時間を設けていただき助かりました。

This time, I used this service for a solo trip. The bus journey with the guide's explanations provided me with many insights that I probably wouldn't have learned on my own. The guide was also very kind. I'm satisfied that I was able to visit five places in one day.

今回は、一人旅でこちらを利用させて頂きました。ガイドさんの説明しながらのバス旅で、一人だったら多分知ることの出来なかった事など沢山ありました。そして親切でした。
1日で5カ所を周れて満足です。

The yanbaru tour that was canceled during my last trip to Okinawa has finally been rescheduled after two years. The weather was great, and the climate was mild, allowing me to enjoy my time. The lunch was satisfying in both taste and portion size, and I had a truly fulfilling day with visits to Cape Hedo, meeting Kuu-chan the Okinawa rail, and trekking at the Daichi Forest. Although I was traveling alone as an older person, I was able to meet two others of the same age who were also participating alone, which made me feel more at ease. The tour guide was also very attentive and kind, so I have no complaints. Thank you, everyone!

前回の沖縄旅行では中止になったやんばるツアー。
２年越しのリベンジとなりましたが天候もよく、気候も穏やかで気分よく過ごせました。
昼食は味、ボリュームとも大満足でしたし、辺戸岬、ヤンバルクイナのクーちゃん、あと大石林山のトレッキングなど本当に充実した一日でした。
年配の一人旅でしたが、同年配で一人で参加している２名の方と知り合えて安心することもできました。
添乗員の方もよく気の付く親切な方でしたので言うことなしです。
皆さん、ありがとうございました！

I toured Mishima with my middle school and university children and participated in a bus tour on Taketomi Island. We enjoyed beautiful scenery everywhere, gained knowledge about plants and creatures during the mangrove journey, and the bus drivers guided us to wonderful sightseeing spots, sharing interesting insights about the local population and customs. There were also occasions where we could listen to traditional island songs played on the sanshin while riding a water buffalo cart, which was a lot of fun. The lunch featured local cuisine, which included some sweet dishes that didn't quite suit my taste, but I nearly finished everything. I'm really glad I participated in the tour.

中学生と大学生の子供を連れて三島を巡り、竹富島でのバスコースを参加しました。どこにも綺麗な景色を楽しめたし、マングローブへの旅で植物や生き物の知識を習得し、バスの運転手さん達は素敵な観光スポットを案内していただき、現地の人口構成や生活風習等も面白く紹介してくださり、水牛車で伝統な三線を弾いて島唄を聴かせていただける場合もあり、とても楽しかったです。ランチは郷土料理なので、甘いものがあり、口に合わないこともあるが、ほぼ完食しました。ツアーに参加して本当に良かったのです。

Churaumi Aquarium, dolphin show! It was exciting! I was also impressed by the beautiful sea at Kouri Island. The smiles of the staff were wonderful, and I had a fun and great day. So many bus tours! I was very satisfied.

美ら海水族館、イルカショー！盛り上がりました☆☆☆古宇利島もキレイな海に感動しました。アテンドスタッフさんの笑顔も素敵(*^^*)で楽しくいい一日を過ごせました。
こんなに沢山のバスツアー！大満足でした。

I have ridden a water buffalo in the past, and this time I chose a glass-bottom boat in Taketomi Island. It was a surprisingly good experience, with sea turtles and beautiful coral reefs visible in the shallow waters. It made me reflect on the importance of protecting our beautiful oceans.

過去に水牛には乗った事があり、今回は竹富島でのグラスボートとしました。ウミガメがいたり、サンゴが群生しているかなり浅瀬の改定が見られたり・・・と想定以上に良い経験でした。きれいな海を守るべき。と改めて考えさせられるグラスボートでした。

The weather on the day was not great, with rain coming and going and occasional glimpses of sunshine, but we were able to visit three islands and even ride on a water buffalo cart! The staff members were very kind, and it was a tour with the best cost-performance, all while enjoying the leisurely flow of time.

当日はお天気がイマイチで雨が降ったりやんだり時折晴れ間がのぞいたりでしたが
3島も巡れて、しかも水牛車にも乗れちゃう！それぞれのスタッフさんもとても親切だし
ゆっくり流れる時間と共にコスパ最高なツアーでした♬

On my first trip to Ishigaki Island, I participated in a tour that visited three islands. Unfortunately, it was a bit chilly and rainy, but I was very satisfied with the content of the tour. The guides provided clear explanations at each location, which made me feel comfortable participating. On Yubu Island, we enjoyed a water buffalo ride while listening to shamisen music.

I was a bit concerned about having a 2-year-old with us, but we still had a great time. If the weather had been nice, I would have loved to leisurely explore Taketomi Island, but it was a shame we had to take an early ferry back. During lunch, there were explanations about the contents of the bento, which were very easy to understand.

初めての石垣島旅行で、3島巡るツアーに参加しました。あいにくの雨模様で少し肌寒い期間でしたが、ツアーの内容は大満足でした。各場所にて担当者が解り易く説明をしてくれたりと安心して参加できました。由布島の水牛乗りでは三味線を弾いてくれました。
2歳の幼児もいたので、大変かなと思っていましたが、それでも楽しめました。
本当に、お天気が良かったら、竹富島をゆっくり散策したかったですが、早めのフェリーで帰ったのが残念です。お昼も、お弁当の中身の説明などがあって、とても解りやすかったです。

The waves were calm, so I was glad I didn't get seasick. The Nakagawa Mangrove Cruise was enjoyable because the weather was nice. It was a spectacular sight to see nearly ten water buffalo carts lined up for transport on a busy day at Yubu Island. I was also happy to see the Deigo flowers on Taketomi Island.

波が穏やかで船酔いせずによかったです。
仲間川マングローブクルーズは天気が良かったので、気持ちよく楽しめました。
由布島ではお客さんが多い日だったので移動の水牛車が10台近く連なっている景色は壮観でしたw
竹富島ではデイゴの花をみれてよかったです。

During my trip to Okinawa, unfortunately, the weather was bad, and I couldn't go to the Blue Cave. However, they quickly changed the spot to Itoman City, and thanks to that, I was able to swim with sea turtles!

I heard that you wouldn't encounter turtles at the Blue Cave, so it became a very precious experience. The instructor was also very nice and provided thorough explanations.

Next time, I definitely plan to book with the same company for a revenge trip to the Blue Cave!

沖縄旅行期間、残念ながら天候が悪く
青の洞窟には行けませんでしたが、
急遽糸満市へのスポットに変更くださり
お陰で海亀と一緒に泳ぐことができました！

青の洞窟だと亀と遭遇することはなかった
そうなので、とても貴重な体験となり、
インストラクターの方もとても良い方で
説明も丁寧。

次回リベンジの青の洞窟も是非同じ
会社で予約しようと思います！

I found a tour that goes to the three islands of Iriomote Island, Yubu Island, and Taketomi Island, which is quite rare. I searched on Veltra, which I've used several times before, and... there it was! Although it felt a bit rushed, the guide's stories were enjoyable, and I was very satisfied with the tour.

西表島、由布島、竹富島３島行けるツアーがなかなか無く 何度か使ってるベルトラさんで探したら‥ありました！
駆け足で巡った感はありますが、ガイドさんのお話も楽しく すごく満足したツアーでした

I participated in early March. I felt it was a great deal to be able to visit so many places in just one day. I also enjoyed the guide's explanations and songs, which made the travel time fly by. When they came to pick us up at the designated hotel, I was worried because I couldn't find the meeting point, but they spotted us from a distance and kindly called out to us, which really put me at ease. I truly feel that participating was a great decision.

3月上旬に参加しました。丸一日でこれだけ巡れるのはとってもお得だと感じました。また、ガイドさんの説明やお歌を楽しんでいたので移動時間もあっという間でした。指定のホテルまで迎えに来てくださる時、乗り場が分からず困っていたところ、遠くから自分たちを見つけて頂き、優しいお声掛けを頂いたので、すごくほっとしたのを覚えています。参加して良かったと心から思います。

First of all, to get straight to the point, I found the experience quite disappointing, and I regret not choosing a different tour. The schedule was excessively delayed, and it was too packed, so we couldn't properly enjoy the aquarium. At the American Village, we only had an hour, but the bus was far away, and the restrooms were crowded. After a quick bite, we had to rush back to the bus. As a result, we didn't see anything. There's no way to cover everything in just one hour. We were over an hour late, so we had to cancel our dinner reservation.

I would be surprised if anyone thought this course and its timing were appropriate after trying it out.

I think it would be better to revise the itinerary to allow for more time to truly enjoy the experience. Also, the driver ignored my child every time they said thank you, which was concerning.

One silver lining was that the tour guide was kind and responsive when one of my children started feeling unwell.

まず、結論からいくと、かなり残念すぎる内容で、他のツアーを選べばよかったと後悔しかありません。予定時間が過ぎるにもほどがあるし、詰め込みすぎだから、水族館もまともにみれない。最後のアメリカンヴィレッジも1時間しかないのに、バスは遠く、トイレは混んでる。少し食べたらもう急いでバスに戻らないといけない。結果何もみれませんでした。到底1時間でまわるなんて無理。予定より1時間以上遅れたため、予約した夕飯の店はキャンセル。

事前にまわってみて、このコース、時間設定でよいと思われたならびっくりです。

ちゃんと満喫できるように、時間に余裕もてる内容に見直ししたほうが良いかと思います。
また、運転手の方、子供が有難うと何度いっても無視。どうかと思います。

1人子供の具合がわるくなったのですが、添乗員の方が親切に対応してくださったのだけが救いです。

Thank you to the guide and the driver for a wonderful day. I chose Okinawa for my grandchildren's graduation trip. I was worried that Churaumi Aquarium was far from Naha, but thanks to the guide's stories and the driver's safe driving, we had a very meaningful day. Among other things, the scenery of Kouri Island, which the guide personally recommended, was breathtaking. After returning home, I've been mimicking the guide's tone and asking my grandchildren, "Are you okay?" It took about 12 hours, but it was a cost-effective and fulfilling trip. Thank you very much.

ガイドさん　運転手さん素敵な一日をありがとうございます。孫達の卒業旅行に沖縄を選びました。
美ら海水族館が那覇から遠いので心配でしたが、ガイドさんのお話　運転手さんの安全な運転でとても有意義な一日を過ごすことが出来ました。
中でもガイドさん個人的にお勧めの古宇利島の景色は絶景でした。
帰ってからは、ガイドさんの口調を真似して
だいじょーぶ？　と孫達に話しかけています。
12時間ぐらいかかりましたが、コスパの充実した旅でした。　　　ありがとうございました。

You receive a colored sticker and, after an explanation, you go on a tour individually. One hour on Taketomi Island is short. There isn't much star sand, so it would have been nice to have a little more time to see it, not just from the car window at the next beach, but also to have 5 minutes to take photos.

色のシールが渡され、説明を受けて各自が周るツアーです。竹富島のいち時間は短い。星の砂はあまりないので少し見るだけで次の浜辺の車窓からだけでなく、写真を撮る時間5分でもあると良かったです。
