All Reviews for 巴士之旅（バスツアー）

I was captivated by the beauty of the mangroves.
It's worth participating.
I was fortunate to encounter many wild birds.
Unfortunately, the lunch bento was not delicious.
A convenience store bento would have been better.

マングローブの素晴らしさに魅了されました。
参加する価値あります。
タイミングよく、野鳥にも沢山出会えました。
残念なのは、ランチのお弁当。
美味しく無いです。
コンビニ弁当で良かった。

サービスの人たちは良いです。私たちのために英語を翻訳してくれて、とても感動しました。

service person are good, translate English for us, very touched.

I went to Taketomi Island and rode a water buffalo cart! It was so much fun. I was happy to see the mangroves with my wife. I definitely want to go again.

竹富島に行って水牛車になっちゃったー！
とっても楽しかった。
奥さんとマングローブも見れて幸せだった。
また絶対行きたいと思う。

This time, I traveled without a rental car and participated in a tour for the first time.
Although it was from morning until evening, there was not a single wasted movement; it was incredibly efficient!
This tour was perfect for someone like me who is impatient.
However, it might be a bit challenging for those who prefer to take their time or need to walk slowly...

Since the schedule was tight, even for someone like me who doesn't usually take their time, I didn't have any extra time.
It wasn't my first time visiting these places, and I wasn't looking to relax, so it felt great to see them again after a while! The time management was excellent!
Moreover, on the way back, we took the highway and had a light sandwich (which was simple but delicious), and with the entrance fees and everything included, along with a guide, this price... is too cheap!!
I thought that from now on, tours might be the way to go for sightseeing in Okinawa!

今回レンタカーなしでの旅行にしたので初めてツアーに参加しました。
朝から夕方までの時間ですが何ひとつ無駄な動きはなく、ものすごく効率的でした！
せっかちの私にはピッタリのツアーです。
もしかすると、ゆっくりめに見たい方、ゆっくり歩かないといけない方にはちょっと大変かもしれません…

時間がタイトなので、せっかちでゆっくり見たつもりは全くない私でも時間が余ることはなかったです。
私にとっては初めて行く場所な訳でもなく、のんびりしたい訳ではなかったので久々にまた見れた〜！って感じで時間配分とっても良かったです！
しかも帰りは高速乗って帰って軽食のサンドイッチ(シンプルで美味しかったです)もあり、入館料もろもろ入ってガイドさんもついてこの値段…安すぎます！！
これから沖縄観光はツアーでいいかも！って思いました！！

I enjoyed the cruise on the boat, was charmed by the cute cows while riding in a cart to Yufu Island, and had a wonderful time interacting with the plants. The large butterflies were very cute.

船のクルーズで楽しめ、牛車で可愛い牛さんにやられて由布島へ渡り、植物とのふれあい、大きな蝶々がとてもかわいかったです。

The bus guide was very cheerful, and it was an enjoyable tour. I had expected a tour where everyone would sing together, but it was nothing like that. The bus guide efficiently explained the points to note before arrival and gave advice on how to explore the sightseeing spots, as well as recommendations for souvenirs and other attractions, making it a relaxed tour where we mostly listened.

For those who want to take their time, the duration might feel a bit short, but if you follow the advice given, you can have a fulfilling experience. It's perfect for those who don't want to drive.

There were many foreign visitors, and although I didn't speak directly with them, the guide's English was impressive. We enjoyed beautiful views of the sea from the boat, leisurely ate barbecue, rode kickboards along the Fukugi tree-lined path (which was an option on the bus for 1,000 yen per person), and explored the aquarium early before relaxing at a café. We ended the day with a light look at the illuminations in American Village.

At first, I was scared of the instability of the kickboard, and there were moments when I felt I might inconvenience others due to the number of people and cars around. However, the staff at the Fukugi tree-lined path provided individual guidance and taught us routes suitable for beginners.

Since I went during the New Year holidays and didn't have a rental car, I think the tour was the best option due to the holiday schedule. It's not for those who want to fully enjoy the aquarium, but it's highly recommended for those who want to casually visit sightseeing spots. Thank you to the bus guide and the driver!

とても明るいバスガイドさんで楽しいツアーだった。みんなで歌うようなツアーを予想して構えていたが全くそうではなく、バスガイドさんがてきぱき到着前に注意点を説明して観光地の周り方のアドバイスをしたりお土産や他の観光地についておすすめしてくれたりでほぼ聴くだけのリラックスしたツアーだった。
時間はゆっくり見たい人なら少し足りないくらいで、アドバイス通りに動けば充実した時間を過ごせた。運転したくない人には最適。
外国の方が多く、私は直接話すことはなかったがガイドさんの英語がかっこよかった。
船できれいな海を見て、焼肉をゆっくり食べて、フクギ並木でキックボードに乗り（バス内で選択・1人料金1000円）、水族館では早めに周ってカフェでゆっくり、アメリカンビレッジで軽くイルミネーションを見て終わり。
キックボードは最初不安定さが怖く、人と車も多くて迷惑をかけてしまう場面があったが、フクギ並木の店員さんが個別指導と慣れない人向けルートを教えてくれた。
年末年始に行ったのでレンタカーがなく、バスも祝日ダイヤのため、ツアーは最適解だったと思う。
水族館を満喫したい人向けではないが、さらっと観光地を巡りたい人にはとてもいいのでおすすめです。
バスガイドさん運転手さんありがとうございました。

Great cost performance.
The guide did a great job.

I participated for a friend visiting Okinawa for the first time.
It was a fun and productive tour for the day.
I highly recommend it!

コスパ最高
ガイドさんグッジョブ

沖縄初めての友人の為参加しました
一日楽しく有効なツアーでした。
ぜひぜひお勧めします。

I wanted to visit a remote island, so I went to Ishigaki Island for the first time. This tour was efficient, and I really appreciated being able to choose what I wanted to do. However, we chose to rent bicycles on Taketomi Island, and it was a shame that we didn't have enough time. After the two-hour bike rental, we planned to walk around the village for about 30 minutes, but we were quickly taken by car to the ferry terminal. Since we had a longer stay on Yufu Island, I wished they could shorten that time a bit and increase our time on Taketomi Island instead.

離島に行きたくて、初めての石垣島に行きました。このツアーは無駄がないし、やりたい事を選べるのがとても良かったです。ただ１つだけ私達は竹富島でレンタサイクルを選んだのですが、時間が足りなかったのが残念でした。２時間のレンタサイクルが終わったら、歩いて集落を30分程回ろうと考えていたのですが、すぐに車でフェリー乗り場まで送られました。それなら由布島滞在時間が長かったので、時間をもう少し短くして、その分を竹富島の時間を増やして欲しいと思いました。

I was unable to take this bus from New Year's Day. Despite having made a reservation through this system and receiving a confirmation voucher from the bus company, the bus did not arrive even though I was waiting at the designated boarding location before the specified departure time. When I called the company, I couldn't get through, and after a while, I received a call saying they would check on it. In the end, I had to take a taxi along the same route as the bus (of course, at the bus company's expense). If you plan to join a tour with this company, please be cautious.

元旦からこのバスに乗れませんでした。
このシステムで予約して、バス会社から確認のバウチャーが来ていたにも関わらず、指定の出発時間の前から、指定の乗車場所で待っていたにも関わらず、バスは来ませんでした。
会社に電話をしても繋がらず、しばらくしてから確認をしますとの電話が来ました。
結局はバスのコースと同じところをタクシーで回る事になりました。（もちろんバス会社の負担で）
この会社のツアーに参加予定の方は注意して下さい。

I participated in a tour on December 31. In many tours I've been on, there is usually one guide who leads from start to finish, but in this tour, it felt like the guests were moving around as if being passed along to different guides for each segment, such as gathering, moving, and participating. The coordination was quite good, and there were few issues. However, that doesn't mean there were no problems at all. While the location of the dining venue was indicated, there were times when I didn't know where to go inside. Additionally, depending on the guide, there were moments when I felt a lack of enthusiasm. Overall, there were few difficulties, and I enjoyed myself, but I believe it can't compare to a tour where one guide is responsible for entertaining the participants from start to finish.

12月31日にツアー参加しました。
今までの多くのツアーでは一人の添乗員が最初から最後まで案内することが多かったのですが、このツアーではツアーの各部、集合、移動、参加など各部の担当添乗員にリレーするかのように客が動いていく感じでした。なかなかの連携で困ることは少なかったです。ですが、困らない事が無かったかというとそういうわけではありませんでした。食事会場の場所は案内されるものの、中のどこに行けばいいかわからないとかありました。また、担当添乗員次第ではやる気がないと感じる場面もありました。
全体的には困ることも少なく、楽しめましたが、一人の添乗員が最初から最後まで参加者を責任持って楽しませるツアーには勝てないと思いました。

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。

A packed day! It was a hard schedule, but we were able to efficiently visit famous tourist spots. Each island had a representative who responded promptly, making it a stress-free day.

1日盛りだくさん！ハードスケジュールでしたが、効率よく有名な観光地を回れました。
各島では担当の方がそれぞれテキパキと対応してくれて、ストレスなしの1日でした。

I had to give up my trip to Ishigaki Island once due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but I challenged myself to try again. I was able to enjoy a leisurely family trip exploring the islands and immersing ourselves in nature. I was surprised at how calm the water buffalo were.

コロナが流行り、一度断念した石垣島旅行
再度チャレンジしました。
離島巡り、家族でのんびり自然を満喫することが
できました。
水牛がとてもおとなしくびっくりしました。

It was great to be able to explore efficiently. I was able to learn about the unique qualities of each island. Additionally, the guides were all very kind. I would recommend this to anyone traveling to Ishigaki Island.

効率的に回れてとても良かったです。それぞれの島の良さを知ることが出来ました。それにガイドさんがみんな親切でした。石垣島に旅する人に薦めたいと思いました。

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。

Due to the Christmas season, the optional tours available at the hotel were already fully booked. I searched and arranged through their website! The tour was a digest version covering two islands, including mangroves, water buffalo, and a local gourmet lunch, and it was very satisfying. It was designed so that even small children and those who are not confident in their physical strength could easily participate, and I had a great time. Thank you!

クリスマスの時期と重なり、ホテルで予約できるオプションツアーはすでにいっぱいでした。
こちらのweb予約で検索し対応して頂きました！
ホテル送迎付きの２島をめぐるダイジェスト版で、マングローブと水牛、島グルメランチとおおよそ網羅されており満足の内容でした。
小さなお子様や体力に自信のない方でも気軽に参加できる内容で、楽しむことが出来ました。
ありがとうございました！

The guide who explained everything in fluent English and Japanese left a very good impression. I think the cost performance is excellent. It was cold this time, so I would like to visit during a warmer season next time.

流暢な英語と日本語で説明してくださるガイドさんがとても好印象でした。コスパもすごくいいと思います。今回は寒かったので、次回は暖かい時期に訪問したいです。

I was able to visit Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island! On Taketomi Island, I had planned to take a glass-bottom boat, but it was canceled due to the weather, so I enjoyed sightseeing with water buffalo on both Yufu Island and Taketomi Island. However, on Yufu Island, we toured on the water, while on Taketomi Island, we toured on land with the water buffalo, so I had a great time sightseeing with water buffalo on both islands!

西表島、由布島、竹富島へ行くことができました！竹富島ではグラスボート予定ですが、天候の影響でキャンセルとなってしまい、由布島でも竹富島でも水牛での観光でした。しかし、由布島では水の上を、竹富島では陸の上を水牛で観光でしたので、どちらの島も水牛観光でも楽しめました！！

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

At first, I was worried because it was cloudy, but the wind cleared the clouds, and I was glad to see the beautiful view. After participating in the tour, I started to pay more attention to the stars.

雲がかかっていたので初めは心配でしたが、風で雲も流れて綺麗に見れて良かったです
ツアー参加後、気にして星を見るようになりました

I was glad to see the wonderful scenery, but when I stood up because I really needed to use the restroom before the meal, the guide scolded me without asking for a reason, saying, "I told you to stay seated!" Even when I tried to explain, I was told to sit down again a couple of times, and since it was early in the trip, I felt uncomfortable throughout the course.

The meal was very satisfying as I got to enjoy a lot of delicious fish, and after the meal, I enjoyed looking at the beautiful sea and swinging on a handmade swing.

There were many older participants, and it seemed like there were quite a few couples, but there were also a good number of solo participants.

At the national park, the local guide provided detailed explanations, which was very nice! I enjoyed listening to the descriptions of the plants and animals. However, it was puzzling that after finishing the national park visit, we were shown an introduction video about the park. I thought the order was strange...

I participated in December, and it gets a bit chilly in the morning and evening, so I think having a light jacket would be good. It was a bit hot during the hike.

Since they take you around to various places, I think it's great for those who can't drive themselves. I recommend it if you don't mind spending a long time on the bus.

素晴らしい景色が見れて良かったとは思いますが、
食事前どうしてもお手洗いに行きたくて立ち上がると理由も確認せず頭ごなしに「座っていてと言いましたよね！」とガイドさんに怒られました。
理由を述べようとしても2.3度被せて座ってくださいと怒られ、旅の序盤だったのでコースを回っている間中ずっと不愉快でした。

食事は美味しいお魚がたくさん食べられて大満足でした、食事後綺麗な海を眺めたり手作り感のあるブランコを漕いだりしました。

参加者の方々は年配の方が多く、ご夫婦が多かった印象ですがお一人の参加者も少なくなかったです。


国立公園では現地の方が詳しく説明をしてくださりとても良かったです！
植物や生き物たちの説明は聞いていて楽しかったです。
国立公園を見終わった後に国立公園の紹介動画を見せられたのは謎でした。
順番がおかしいと思います…。

12月に参加しましたが、朝と夕方少し冷えるので軽い上着があるといいかなと思います。
ハイキング中は少し暑かったです。

色んな所に連れ回してくれるので自分で運転ができないという方はいいと思います。
長時間バスに乗るのが苦痛でなければおすすめします。

The weather wasn't great, so it felt a bit hectic, but I think the tour itself was good value for money. There were two disappointing points. One was the need to remind some tour guests to speak a little more quietly. The other was that although there were three hours allocated for visiting the Churaumi Aquarium and having lunch, considering the time spent waiting to purchase tickets and the round trip to the parking lot, we effectively had just over two hours. Even though we wanted to eat, all the restaurants were crowded, with waits of 40 minutes to an hour, so we prioritized sightseeing and ended up not being able to eat. I would have appreciated more information in advance about the locations and expected crowds.

天候が良くなかった為に少々ばたばたした感じでしたが、ツアーそのものの内容はコスパが良いと思います。
残念だったのは2点。ひとつは少し大きめの声で会話するツアー客に対して注意する必要が有る事。もうひとつは美ら海水族館での見学および昼食の時間は3時間あるもののチケット購入待ちや駐車場までの往復を考えると実質は2時間強だった事。食事しようにもどの店も混んでおり40～1時間待ちなので見学を優先した結果食事はできませんでした。事前に場所や混雑見込み等の情報をもう少し教えていただきたいと思いました。

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！

It was more affordable than going individually. The lunch was not just a small bonus; it was substantial, but it might have been a bit small in quantity for younger people.

個人で行く費用よりお得に行けました。昼食もおまけ程度では無くしっかりしたものでしたが若い人には量が少なかったかも。

It's great that even those without a driver's license can conveniently go to various places. The timing was just right, and I had a wonderful day.
However, all the tourist information was delivered through earphones, and the guide didn't speak at all except for ticket and time information, which was a bit disappointing and felt a little lacking in energy.
It really dampened the excitement for sightseeing.
I will use this service again. Thank you!

免許を持っていない方でも、便利にいろんなところへ行けるのはとても嬉しいです。時間の調整もちょうど良くて、一日満喫で楽しかったです。
でも、観光情報などは全部イヤホンで流れて、ガイトはチケットや時間の案内以外一切喋ってくれなくて、しかも少し元気がない感じで残念でした。
観光の気持ちを一気に下がる。
また使わせていただきます。よろしくお願いします。

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。

The tour that efficiently covers the mangrove forest cruise in Iriomote, the ox cart ride to Yubu Island, and the charming star sand beach and ox carts in Taketomi Island was absolutely satisfying. I really felt it was worth going, especially since the weather was just right. I highly recommend it for anyone visiting the Nansei Islands for the first time.

西表でのマングローブの林のクルーズ、牛車で行く由布島、星砂の浜と牛車が魅力的な竹富島を効率的に周れるツアーは大大満足。
ギリギリ天候にも恵まれてほんっとに行って良かったなと思います。初めて南西諸島に行く人には絶対お薦めです。

Since you often have the opportunity to ride on boats and there can be swaying due to rain, it's better to have motion sickness medication even if you usually don't get sick! One person felt nauseous and had to drop out, but the staff informed them that they couldn't return immediately.

The weather forecast for Okinawa is unreliable. It's better to have rain gear. There were also people lining up to buy raincoats that looked like they were worth less than 100 yen inside the boat.

船に乗る機会が多いし、雨で揺れることもあるので普段酔わなくても酔い止めあった方が良いです！
1人気持ち悪いと脱落しましたが、すぐには帰れないことをスタッフから言われてました。

沖縄の天気予報あてになりません。
雨具あった方が良いです。
船の中で、見た目が100均以下のカッパ買うために並んでる人もいました。
