All Reviews for 巴士之旅（バスツアー）

I was able to ride in a leisurely cart pulled by a water buffalo, and along the way, I listened to the music of the sanshin, which refreshed my spirit. I want to go again.

のんびりした水牛が引く車に乗せていただき、途中サンシン（？）の音楽を聴かせていただきながら、心を洗わせていただきました。
また、行きたいです。

I was able to ride the water buffalo cart twice! It was great to enjoy the atmosphere of the southern island while listening to the shamisen. Personally, I really liked Yufu Island. The water buffalo I got to touch was so cute!

水牛車に2回も乗れました！
三味線聞きながら、南の島の雰囲気があじわえてよかったです。個人的には由布島が良かったです。触れる水牛さんが可愛いかった！

I was able to efficiently visit must-see spots in Okinawa, such as Cape Manzamo, Kouri Island, and the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. Additionally, the tour price was reasonable, so I think it's a tour I can recommend to anyone.

万座毛や古宇利島、美ら海水族館など沖縄を訪れたら必ず行きたいスポットを効率よく回ることができた。また、ツアーの値段もお手ごろなので、誰にでもオススメできるツアーだと思った。

The bus guide was really great, providing insights about the highlights and the area, as well as recommendations for food. If you're planning a long-distance trip for a day, bus tours are definitely a good option!

見どころや地域の解説、おすすめの食べ物のお話しなど、バスガイドさんがとても良かった。日帰りで長距離移動するなら、バス観光もありだな！

I was pulled by a water buffalo across the shallow sea from Iriomote Island to Yufu Island. It was my first time on a water buffalo cart! Although the buffalo was large, I worried if it would be okay with about 18 people on the cart. However, it pulled us strongly, and according to the guide and driver, the buffalo loves to move in the water the most.

Along the way, the guide played "Asadoya Yunta" on the sanshin, which made me feel very warm and happy as I swayed in the water buffalo cart. Yufu Island is a cute island with a somewhat ruined and rough feel, but I accepted it as it is, and I was thrilled by the sign for the yellow Iriomote wildcat!

I was also delighted to see many unique mangrove forests during the mangrove tour. The lunch bento was filled with Okinawan-style side dishes, which made me very satisfied.

I think it was great to participate in this tour where I could see various places.

Next time, I would like to try trekking on Iriomote Island.

海の浅瀬を水牛に引いてもらって西表島から由布島へ渡りました。初めての水牛車‼️大きな水牛ではありましたが車に乗るのが18人ほどで本当に牛さんは大丈夫なのだろうかと心配になりました。しかし力強く引いてくれ、ガイド兼運転手のおじさんの話では水牛は水の中で動くのが一番好きなんだとか。
途中からおじさんが三線で「安里屋ゆんた」を弾いてくれ、とても優しい気持ちになりながら水牛車に揺られ楽しかったです。
由布島はかわいい島でやや廃墟がかった感じと雑な感じもありますが、それはそう言うものだと納得し、黄色のイリオモテヤマネコの看板に感激しました❣️
マングローブ遊覧も変わったマングローブの林をたくさん見れて嬉しかったです。
お昼のお弁当も沖縄らしいおかずがいっぱいで満足でした。

いろいろなところが見れて盛りだくさんのツアーで参加して良かったと思います。

次回は西表島でトレッキングもやってみたいです。

I wonder if the mangrove forest was necessary; I could have spent that time at Daishi Forest Mountain instead. I could hardly hear the bus travel guide recording.

マングローブ原生林は、要らなかったかな、その時間を大石林山に回していればなー、バス移動のレコーダー案内はほとんど聴き取れなかった。

We decided to go on a family trip to Ishigaki for the first time and thought about visiting the outer islands. Since planning the itinerary seemed cumbersome, we opted to join a tour. We were able to make effective use of our time from early morning until 6 PM, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thank you very much.

初めての石垣家族旅行で離島にいってみようということになり、日程をくむのが面倒なのでツアー参加することにしました。朝早くから18じまで、時間を有効に使え、大変満喫することができました。どうもありがとうございました。

I was worried about the rain forecast from the previous day, but I'm glad that the weather forecast for Ishigaki Island was unreliable. The weather was great, and I had a lot of fun. Additionally, it was inexpensive due to the ongoing campaign. I missed the free pickup bus, but I managed to board the boat on my own. I almost ended up having to cancel.

前日の雨予報でどうなるかと思いましたが、石垣島の天気予報はあてにならなくて良かったです。天気も良く、とても楽しかったです、また、キャンペーン中で安かった。無料のピックアップのバスに乗り遅れましたが、なんとか自力で乗船できました。危うくキャンセルになるところでした。

Fourth visit to Okinawa, solo trip.
After the COVID-19 pandemic, it was about time to travel again, and with the nationwide travel subsidy, the bus was almost full and bustling.
Churaumi Aquarium:
There used to be three whale sharks, but now there is only one, and the large tank looks lonely (-_-;) The dolphin show at Okichan Theater was enjoyable even for a solo traveler, with the children's cheers adding to the fun. They are so talented!!
Kouri Island:
I only visited the beach and the roadside station for souvenirs, so I was disappointed that I couldn't go to Heart Rock Tower. The bridge leading to Kouri Island is beautiful no matter when you visit.
Chatan American Village:
It's Christmas Town all year round. The delicious food left me not only in a good mood but also completely satisfied. The sunset at the end was the best.
I appreciate the long bus journey, safe driving, and the support from the guide.

沖縄４回目の訪問で一人旅
コロナ禍でそろそろ限界、全国旅行給付もありバスはほぼ満席で盛況。
美ら海：
３匹いたジンベイザメが１匹になり大きな水槽がさみしそう(-_-;)
イルカショーのオキちゃん劇場はおひとりさまでも、子供の歓声もあり楽しめました。芸達者でいい！！
古宇利島：
ビーチ、道の駅でお土産のみで、ハートロックタワーに行けなかったのが残念。古宇利島へ続く一本橋は何時行っても素敵の一言
北谷アメリカンビレッチ：
一年中クリスマスタウン＊美味しいごはん、気分だけでなくお腹も大満足です。最後のサンセットは最高
長いバス旅、安全運転、ガイドさんのサポートに感謝です。

The aquarium took a long time to get to, so I felt a bit regretful that we didn't have enough time to explore. The guide not only provided sightseeing information but also shared insights about the current situation of the U.S. military bases and the feelings of the people of Okinawa, helping us understand the true nature of Okinawa. I found it very relatable and educational.

水族館は移動に時間がかかるので、その分、見学時間が足りなかったのが、少し心残りです。
ガイドさんは、単に観光案内だけでなく、米軍基地の現状や、沖縄の人たちの心情をしっかりとお話されて、沖縄の真の姿を理解させてくださいました。とても共感し、勉強になりました。

The weather wasn't very good, but the high-speed boat was fast and had little sway. It's great that you can step on Iriomote Island and see all the islands in one day! The water buffalo is cute.

てんこうはあまりよくなかったが、高速艇は早く揺れも少ない。一日で西表を踏めてすべての島を遠望できるのでGOOD！
水牛がかわいいぞ。

We had a fun departure with the veteran guide's lively talk!

We enjoyed the Okinawa vibe on a remote island accessible by bus, and then headed to the main attraction, the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. There was plenty of time allocated, so we could leisurely enjoy the aquarium without rushing, and we also got to visit facilities that are not easily accessible on our own, which greatly increased our satisfaction! Additionally, it was more affordable than going individually, making it a great value for money.

ベテランガイドさんの軽快なトークで楽しく出発！

バスで行ける離島で沖縄気分を満喫し、
メインの美ら海水族館へ。
たっぷり時間を設けていただけるので、慌てることなくゆっくり水族館を楽しみ、個人ではなかなか行かないような施設にもよっていただけるので
満足度高いです！
また個人で行くよりもリーズナブルに行けたのでコスパいいです。

We participated as a couple and used a tour since we couldn't drive. Even if we could drive, the itinerary was so packed that we wouldn't have been able to see everything. It was great to cycle through the Fukugi tree-lined path! If I could wish for something, I would have liked to stay a bit longer in American Village.

夫婦で参加しましたが、車を運転できないのでツアーを利用しました。もし運転できても、この内容で回り切ることはできないくらいの充実ぶりでした。フクギ並木でサイクリングできたのが良かったです！欲を言ったらアメリカンビレッジは、もう少し長くいたかったです。

This is my second time with the water buffalo tour, and this time it was with the Taketomi Tourism Center. The laid-back water buffalo "Mae" stopped several times along the way to take breaks, and we enjoyed the path lined with bougainvillea. There is also a photo service available.

水牛観光は二度目ですが、
今回は竹富観光センターさんでした。
のんびりマイペースの水牛「真栄」君、
途中何度も立ち止まり、休憩しながら、
ブーゲンビリアの道をすすみ、
和みました。
写真サービスも、あります。

It was a very efficient tour where we could visit many highlights in just one day, starting with the Churaumi Aquarium, as well as Kouri Island and American Village.

Additionally, our guide even showcased Okinawan folk songs and played the sanshin, allowing us to enjoy a fun time on the bus.

(On the bus, announcements were made in English, Chinese, and Korean, which made it reassuring for international visitors.)

Next time I go to Okinawa, I would love to take a bus tour again.

「美ら海水族館」をはじめ、「古宇利島」や「アメリカンビレッジ」など、見どころ満載なところを1日で見て回ることができる、非常に効率的なツアーでした。

また、ガイドさんが沖縄の民謡や三線の演奏まで披露して下さったので、バスの中でも楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。

(バスの中では、英語・中国語・韓国語のアナウンスも流れていて、海外の人でも安心できます)

今度、沖縄に行ったらまたバスツアーで観光したいです。

It was a weekday, but everywhere was crowded, making it difficult to take our time exploring within the tour schedule. I was too concerned about the meeting time, and there were many people... so I felt like we had little free time. However, I enjoyed it because we were taken to many sightseeing spots.

平日でしたがどこも混み合ってて、ツアーの時間内ではゆっくり観て回るのはのは難しいですね。集合時間が気になり過ぎて人も多く…自由時間は少なかったかなと？
ですが、沢山観光地など連れて行っていただいたので楽しめました。

I was able to enjoy everything I wanted to see and do on this tour. I do not recommend doing the island hopping on your own. After landing on the island by ferry, there is a distance to travel to the sightseeing spots, so you'll need transportation.

見たいところやってみたいこと、全部このツアーで楽しめました。
離島巡りは個人でやるのはお勧めしません。
フェリーで離島上陸後、観光スポットまで行くのに距離があるので足が必要になります。

My first trip to the three islands was enjoyable, as I was able to efficiently visit places that would be difficult to cover on my own. The only downside was at the Takeubushima Water Buffalo Cart stop, where I felt a bit uncomfortable being asked to buy photos that I didn't want. In this age of smartphones, I think such commemorative photos are unnecessary. I also thought it would be better if we could choose at the beginning whether or not to include a commemorative photo.

初めての3島巡りは、個人では周りきれないスケジュールを効率よく周る事ができ楽しめました。
唯一残念なのは、竹生島水牛車下車庫　欲しくも無い写真を撮られ買わないか？と言うよくあるパターンを断るのにちょっと嫌な気分になりました。
スマホ普及のご時世なのでその様な記念写真はいらないと思います。又最初から記念写真付きか付きじゃ無いか選べたら良いとも思いました。

It was a tour with two middle-aged men, but I was able to participate feeling great. I think it would be better if there were a bit more time for restroom breaks along the way. The mothers with children seemed to have a tough time.

初老のオヤジ二人のツアー参加でしたが、ただただ気分良く参加出来ました。
途中でのトイレ休憩にもう少し余裕があれば良いのではと思われます。
子ども連れのお母さんが大変そうでした。

I'm glad I was able to visit several tourist attractions even without a car! At American Village, I think it would be difficult to take photos and leisurely enjoy meals or shopping at the same time. As for the Churaumi Aquarium, it depends on the person, but I felt it was just the right amount of time. I did have to hurry a bit, but I enjoyed the large tank, other exhibits, and the dolphin show. I recommend it!

車を持っていなくても、いくつかの観光名所を回れて良かったです！！
アメリカンヴィレッジは写真を撮っていたらご飯とか買い物をゆっくりすることは難しいと思います。美ら海水族館は人にもよるとは思いますが、ちょうど良い時間で少し急ぎはしましたが、大水槽やほかのコーナー、イルカショーも楽しめました。
おすすめです。

I participated in the New Year event. It was a tour that left my children, who are in 7th grade, 5th grade, and 1st grade, very satisfied. I would like to invite my parents next time. Thank you very much.

お正月に参加しました。
中1、小5、小1の子供達も大満足のツアーでした。
次回は両親も誘いたいと思ってます。
ありがとうございました。

Every staff member was kind and it was very nice no matter which island I went to. I regret that I didn't have enough time to go around Yufu Island. I wanted to walk more in nature... The songs and dances of the old lady were amazing. The water buffalo experience was also good and fun.

どの島に行ってもスタッフの方全て親切でとても良かったです。
由布島はちょっと時間が足りず島を一周する事が出来なかったのが心残りです。もっと自然の中を歩きたかったですぅ、、
オバァの唄と踊り最高でした
水牛体験もGOOD楽しかった

I read that the restaurants at Churaumi Aquarium can get crowded, so I took advantage of the free time on Kouri Island before that. I bought a bento from a shop there and finished eating on a bench outside before moving on.

美ら海水族館での昼食は、飲食店が込み合うことがあるとの書き込みを見ましたので、その1つ手前の古宇利島での自由時間を利用し、そこの売店でお弁当を買い、移動までの間に、店の外のベンチで食べ終えました。

The transfers between boats and buses were smooth, allowing us to see everything very efficiently. I think this is the advantage of the tour.

船やバスなどの乗り換えがスムーズで、とても効率よく見て回ることができました。ツアーの良さだと思います。

This time, we participated in a tour visiting three remote islands with two families (four adults and five children). I was worried because there were many of us, and we had a one-year-old child, but the staff was very attentive, which was great.

The mangrove cruise on Iriomote Island was enjoyable for the adults. The water buffalo carts on Yubu Island and Taketomi Island provided a wonderful experience for both adults and children, and I felt it was worth participating in the tour! Personally, I really liked Kaiji Beach when we did the bus tour on Taketomi Island. I had been there before but remembered not being able to find any star sand. However, this time the bus driver taught us how to search for it, and thanks to that, we were able to find a lot, and both adults and children were engrossed in the search!

Since it was a nice day, the scenery was also very good, and we were able to spend a fantastic day.

今回、２家族（大人４人、子ども５人）で、離島３島巡りのツアーに参加しました。
人数が多く、子どもは１歳の小さい子もいたので心配していましたが、丁寧に対応してくださいってとてもよかったです。

西表島のマングローブ遊覧は大人が楽しめました。由布島・竹富島の水牛車は大人も子どももよい体験ができて、ツアーに参加してよかったと思いました！
個人的には竹富島でバス観光した際に行ったカイジ浜がよかったです。以前行ったことがあったのですが、星の砂が全然見つからなかった記憶がありました。しかし今回はバスの運転手さんが探し方を教えてくれて、そのおかげでたくさん見つけることができて大人も子どもも夢中になって探しました！

天気がいい日だったこともあり、景気もとてもよく、最高の１日を過ごすことができました。

Since I was traveling alone, I requested this. I had a rental car, but since it was a solo trip, I chose to go for "ease." I was able to enjoy a full day with an itinerary that included all the places I wanted to visit. I would like to participate again.

ひとり参加だったので こちらにお願いしました。レンタカーもあったのですが 一人旅だったので「楽」を選びました。私が行きたい所が全て入ってるOPで1日楽しむ事が出来ました。また参加したいと思います。

Since we were traveling with children, I thought a tour would be best for the remote islands, so I signed up.

For the tour options, I had already taken the glass-bottom boat the day before, so I chose the water buffalo cart and bus sightseeing.

The highlight for my child was definitely taking the water buffalo cart to Yubu Island. The water buffalo were cute, and there was a bathroom break along the way, which seemed to be a hit! I really enjoyed the atmosphere when the guide sang folk songs on the shamisen while we rode the water buffalo cart.

Also, the boat rocked more than anything I've experienced in my life! It felt like a roller coaster, and the kids were thrilled!

Although we were already feeling full by the time we reached Yubu Island, it was nice to take it easy again on the water buffalo cart while exploring Taketomi Island.

The time spent at each location was short, but the guides were experienced and kept a good pace, so both my child and I could keep up! We also had no issues with bathroom breaks.

子連れのため、離島はツアーが良いと思い申し込みました。
選べるツアーはグラスボートは前日に乗ったので、水牛車とバス観光をチョイス。

子供の1番のポイントは、由布島に水牛車で行ったところでした。水牛さんが可愛いのと、途中トイレタイムがあったのがヒットポイントだったようです笑
私は水牛車でガイドさんが三味線で民謡を歌ってくれたのが雰囲気があってすごく良かったです。

あと、船が人生で1番揺れました！ジェットコースターのようで、これもまた子供も大喜びでした！

由布島で既にお腹いっぱい感はありましたが、竹富島で再び水牛車でのんびり周遊しつつ休憩できたのは良かったなと思います。

各所滞在時間は短いですが、ガイドさんの皆様も手慣れた様子でテンポよく回れて子供も私もついて行けました！
トイレにも困らなかったです。

It was disappointing that the weather was bad and cold during my first island-hopping trip. There's nothing that can be done about that. I hope to have a chance to redeem myself next time.

初めての離島巡りで天気が悪く、寒かったのが残念でした。こればかりは、仕方ないですね。次回リベンジしたいと思います。

I made the best memories.
I have participated in the tour several times, and I am very satisfied with each one.
I want to invite my friends to go again.

最高の思い出ができました。
何度かツアーに参加させて頂いていますが、どのツアーも大満足です。
またお友達を誘って行きたいです。

I participated with my child! I'm sure we wouldn't have been able to visit so many spots in just one day if we had rented a car! I'm very satisfied! Thank you!

子供と参加させていただきました！
きっとレンタカーだと1日でこんなにたくさんのスポットを回ることはできなかったと思います！大満足です！ありがとうございました！
