All Reviews for 巴士之旅（バスツアー）

I was amazed by the views of the large rock formations at the Oishi Forest and was able to see the mangroves up close from the walking path. In the Kuina Forest, I had the chance to observe the adorable Yanbaru Kuina up close. The weather was also favorable, and from Cape Hedo at the northernmost point, I could see Yoronjima. I was deeply moved by the beauty of the sea and mountains in the Yanbaru World Heritage Site.

遊歩道からマングローブを間近に見たり、大石林山の景観に圧倒されました。また、クイナの森では愛らしく動くヤンバルクイナを間近で観察できました。
天候にも恵まれ、最北端の辺戸岬からは与論島を見ることができました。
やんばるの世界自然遺産の海と山の素晴らしさに感動しました。

The weather was great, and I had a lot of fun participating in the packed tour. I was able to meet Jinbeijime-kun and many fish at the Churaumi Aquarium. There was never enough time! The tour guide from Taiwan was knowledgeable and guided us skillfully, keeping us entertained until the very end. I also appreciate the driver for safely navigating the 200-kilometer journey. I want to visit Okinawa again and this time, I’d like to check out American Village and the nearby islands. Thank you very much!

お天気に恵まれて、盛りだくさんのツアーに参加できて楽しかったです。美ら海水族館でジンベイジメくんやたくさんの魚たちに会えました。時間が足りないところばかりでした！
台湾出身の添乗員さんは知識豊富で上手な誘導で最後の最後まで楽しませて下さいました。ドライバーさんも200キロもの行程を安全に運転してくださり感謝です。
また沖縄を訪れて、今度はアメリカンビレッジや離島に行ってみたいです。
にふぇーでーびたん！

The round-trip bus transfer to the hotel was very smooth, allowing the tour to proceed seamlessly! Even though it was a tour, there was plenty of free time for exploration, which was great. We set sail on a boat and immediately headed to the mangrove cruise in Iriomote Island... The explanations were very easy to understand, and I was satisfied! After that, we moved by bus and rode water buffalo to Yufu! While enjoying the scenery from the water buffalo, we explored the botanical garden in Yufu and had delicious food! Afterward, we returned by bus and took a boat to Taketomi Island... The bus tour included a stroll on the star sand and sightseeing in Taketomi by water buffalo... everything was fantastic‼︎ On the way back, we adjusted the bus transfer schedule and explored the bustling streets of Ishigaki, where I was able to buy souvenirs! If I had to mention one thing, it would be that the remote islands don't have trash cans, so it's better to bring a bag for your trash. Thank you very much! (^^)

宿泊ホテルまでバスで往復送迎していただき、とってもスムーズにツアーを進めてくださいました！ツアーなのに、自由散策も多く、いい所取りでした。船で出航し、すぐに西表島のマングローブクルーズへ…説明もとっても分かりやすく、満足です！その後バスで移動し、水牛に乗って由布へ！ドラマの中に入り込んだような水牛からの景色を見ながら、由布では植物園散策に美味しいご飯！その後バスで戻り船で竹富島へ…バス観光で星砂散策し、水牛で竹富観光…どれをとっても最高でした‼︎帰りは一本バス送迎をずらし、石垣の繁華街を散策し、お土産も買って帰れました！一つあげるなら、離島はゴミ箱がなく、ゴミを持つための袋を持参した方がいいかなと思いました。ありがとうございました(^^)

I participated in this tour because I wanted to visit many popular tourist spots during my first trip to Okinawa. This tour, which includes various ticket prices and transportation costs, offers great value for money! The bus guide's stories about Okinawa's history and geography were very educational. Additionally, they played the shamisen, and everyone on the bus was able to enjoy it together!

~Disappointing Points~

The sightseeing time was short, and overall, we had to act quickly. I particularly wanted to spend more time at the Churaumi Aquarium.

The Okashi Hondan was just a souvenir shop, so I personally think it wasn't necessary for the tour.

初めての沖縄旅行で、人気観光スポットをたくさんまわりたいと思いこのツアーに参加しました。
各種チケット料金も移動費も含まれたこちらのツアーはコスパも最高です*＼(^o^)／*
バスガイドさんの話は沖縄の歴史や地理を学べ、大変、勉強になりました。また、三味線を演奏して下さり、バスの中で参加者が一体となって楽しめました♪

〜残念な点〜

観光時間が短く、全体的に焦って行動しなければならない。特に美ら海水族館はもう少し見たかった。

御菓子本殿はただのお土産屋だったので個人的にはツアーになくていいと思いました。

I recommend the Odd Rock and Giant Stone Course for exploring Oishi Forest Mountain. There are various power spots, and I received a lot of energy. It was amazing to see the Okinawa Rail as well.

大石林山の散策は奇岩・巨石コースがおすすめです。色々とパワースポットがあり、いっぱいパワーを頂きました。ヤンバルクイナも見学できて最高でした。

I previously participated in this course when the Churaumi Aquarium was included. It was fun back then, but I joined again because there were several facilities in Yanbaru that weren't part of the course before.

The Yanbaru Kuina was incredibly cute! Just that made it worth coming. Even though it was through glass, I could observe it quite closely. The seafood set lunch and the souvenir snacks were all delicious as well.

Perhaps because it was Sunday, the cafeteria was quite crowded, and the guide who brought the food seemed to have a tough time. Thank you for your hard work...

I was very satisfied with the content. I would like to participate again.

以前美ら海水族館がコースに入っていた頃に参加した事があります。その時も楽しかったのですが、このコースは以前はなかったやんばるの施設がいくつかあったため再び参加しました。
ヤンバルクイナちゃんがとにかく可愛かった！これだけでも来てよかった。ガラス越しですがかなりじっくり観察できます。お昼の海鮮定食やお土産のお菓子もみんな美味しかったです。
日曜だからか食堂がかなり混んでて、運んでくれるガイドさんが大変そうだった。お疲れ様です…
内容はかなり満足。また参加したいです。

There was a pickup near the hotel, and once we got on the bus, it was smooth sailing! We were taken to various sightseeing spots, and there was plenty of time to enjoy everything!

ホテル付近までお迎えがあり、そこからバスに乗り込むと後は楽ちん♫色々な観光地に連れてっていただけます＾＾時間も充分あり満喫することができました！

It was my first time island hopping, and I was able to fully enjoy each island, which made me very satisfied! If I have the chance to come again, I would definitely like to participate again!

初めての離島巡りでしたが、どの島も満喫でき、とても満足できました！次回くることがあればまたぜひ参加したいです！

I participated in this trip as a solo traveler. Although I felt a bit lonely since there were no other solo travelers, the continuous beautiful scenery made me forget about that. If I could be a little selfish, I would have liked to extend my stay on Iriomote Island and do a bit more sightseeing by bus. Conversely, I think half the time on Yufu Island would have been sufficient. I appreciated that on Taketomi Island, I could choose my return time. As a solo traveler, I was able to see everything quickly, so I had extra time. Overall, it was a wonderful tour that created lovely memories.

今回は一人旅で参加しました。
他に一人旅の人がいなくて少し寂しい気がしましたが、それを忘れる位の素敵な風景の連続でした。
しいてわがままを言わせていただければ、西表島の滞在時間を少しのばして、もう少しバスで観光したかったです。
逆に由布島は半分くらいの時間でも十分だったと思います。
竹富島は帰りの時間が選べるのは良かったと思いました。
一人旅だとあっという間に見て回れるので時間が余るくらいでした。
トータル的には素敵な思い出が出来たツアーでした。

The price for this bus tour, which runs almost every day, is unbeatable. I think it's the best value for money. The tour guide mentioned it was their first day on the job, but they were very considerate in many ways. I believe it's a very good company.

ほぼ全日のバスツアーでこの金額。
コスパ最強だと思います。
担当された添乗員さんが初めての勤務だと仰っていたが、色々とお気遣い出来ていました。
とても良い会社だと思います。

I participated with my elderly parents. It was helpful that the tour started and ended in Naha City. I was glad to finally visit Cape Hedo and Daichi Forest, and to meet Kuta-kun, the Okinawa rail! The tour was the day after the rainy season ended, so it was sunny and hot, but the bus travel made it comfortable!

高齢の両親と参加しました。
那覇市内発着が助かりました。
一度行ってみたかった辺戸岬や大石林山、ヤンバルクイナのクータ君にも会えて良かったです！
梅雨明けの次の日にツアーだったので晴天で暑かったけどバス移動なのでらくちんでした！

Renting a car is definitely more cost-effective, and it allowed me to shop and sightsee without rushing! However, I did think the driving was a bit rough at times! w

レンタカー借りてめぐるより、断然お得だし時間も急ぐことなく余裕もって買い物や観光ができました！
ただ、ちょっと運転は荒いかな？と思いました！w

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。

It was better than I had expected. Especially the trekking. I am satisfied. The local guide at Yanbaru National Park was also attentive and good.

考えていた以上によかった。
とくにトレッキング。満足してます。
やんばる国定公園での現地ガイドも丁寧で良かったです。

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。

Iriomote Island, Yubu Island, and Taketomi Island tour. The various plants and animals, sightseeing by water buffalo cart, mangroves, and the beautiful sea—all of it was wonderful. I would love to visit again.

西表島、湯布島、竹富島の三島めぐり。いろんなな動植物
水牛車での観光、マングローブ、美しく海、全てが素敵でした。また訪れたいですね

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。

It was my first trip to Okinawa in 20 years.
I was able to efficiently visit the places I wanted in a short amount of time, and I had a very fulfilling experience.
The guide was cheerful and provided excellent service, which was wonderful.
I would love to have more tours planned.
Personally, I would also like to visit the underwater road.
Thank you very much!

20年ぶりの沖縄旅行でした
短い時間で効率よく行きたいところに回れてとても充実した時間を過ごせました
ガイドさんも明るくて、丁寧な対応、素晴らしかったです
また色々なツアーを企画してもらいたいです
個人的には海中道路の方も行きたいです
ありがとうございました

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 had a great time being taken to places that are difficult to reach on my own. This tour is perfect for those who don't have a rental car.

自分では行きにくいような場所にも連れてもらえてとても楽しかったです。レンタカーが無い方にぴったりのツアーです。

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。

I was unsure about touring the northern area by rental car since I'm not good at driving, but I found a bus tour to the area I wanted to visit and decided to sign up. It turned out to be a great decision as it was very comfortable.

We were able to visit various places, and the admission fee to the Churaumi Aquarium was included in the price, making it a great deal. I enjoyed the scenery much more than I would have while nervously driving a rental car. The guide and the driver were both kind, and I'm glad I signed up!

運転が苦手なので、レンタカーで北部方面を巡るか迷っていたのですが、ちょうど巡りたい方面のバスツアーを見つけて申込してみたら、とても快適で参加しさて大正解でした。
いろんな場所にも行けたし代金の中に美ら海水族館の入場料が込みだったので、とてもお得でした。
レンタカーで緊張しながら走るより、ずっとケシキも堪能して楽しめました。
ガイドさんもドライバーさんも親切で申込して良かったです！

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...

まずは、ボートで「マングローブ」をいろいろ散策でき、
　写真もゆっくり取れました(ガイドも丁寧です)。
水牛車は、ゆっくりタイプに乗車でき、本当にのんびり観光できました。
　帰りは、別の方で「少し、急ぎめでの戻り」でした。帰りなので問題無し。
最後の竹富島では、地図を頼りに「自転車で回りました」
　事前に、ネットで見たいところを選択しておきましたので、
　時間に余裕を持って回れました。

なお、お昼も地元の食材を準備頂き、満足した。
　一日ゆっくり楽しめるツアーです。60過ぎのおばさんにでも、、、

I picked up my ticket at the counter and headed to the boarding area. Since the seats are unreserved, it's a good idea to arrive early to get a nice spot.
On Iriomote Island, we enjoyed a 30-minute mangrove cruise. The guide provided detailed explanations about the plants and animals.
We traveled to Yubu Island by water buffalo cart. The guide's shamisen was very soothing.
Lunch was a bento at a restaurant, followed by free time for exploration. It was nice to take it slow.
On Taketomi Island, we immediately went on a bus tour to see the star sand and other attractions.
It was a very hot day, so I was glad I didn't choose to ride a bicycle.
After that, we enjoyed a water buffalo cart tour on Taketomi Island, which included photo opportunities.
I was very satisfied with how efficiently we were able to see everything in one day.

カウンターでチケットを受け取り、乗り場に向かいます。座席は自由席なので、早めに向かうといい席に座れます。
西表島では30分位のマングローブ遊覧。ガイドさんが植物や動物について、とても詳しく説明をしてくれます。
由布島までは水牛車で移動します。ガイドさんの三味線は癒されます。
ランチはレストランでのお弁当。その後自由散策。ゆっくりできます。
竹富島では到着後すぐバス観光で、星の砂などに行きます。
とても暑い日だったので、自転車を選択しなくて良かったです。
その後竹富島での水牛車観光。写真撮影もありました。
１日で効率よく回れて大満足です。

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。
特筆は、添乗員さんのYKさん！2連続の添乗で私よりも疲れていらっしゃるでしょうに、通して明るく元気に盛り上げてくださり、なんてprofessional！最後降車時の『またいつか会いましょうね～！』の一言は染みました。
K子さん、また是非お会いしたいです！
ありがとうございました。

The course was well thought out and smoothly conducted, making the day fly by. I realized that there are many water buffaloes being raised, which is quite popular. It was a fun and fulfilling day. Thank you very much.

コースは良く考えられており、スムーズに慣行されており1日があっという間に過ぎました。
水牛も多く飼われており人気な事が分かりました。
楽しくて充実した1日でした。
ありがとうございました。

The weather was cloudy from the morning. First, we were given a booklet with all the tickets for the itinerary. We were with various tour groups. The journey to Iriomote Island was quite long. We transferred to a bus and headed to the cruise ship terminal. The driver and guide was very good at speaking! After switching to the cruise ship, we observed the mangroves. 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。

The day after Okinawa entered the rainy season, I went to Ishigaki Island, and the next morning, a hotel shuttle picked me up to join a tour. The boat to Iriomote Island was quite rocky due to strong winds, which was a bit scary. I had imagined the mangrove cruise on Iriomote Island to be like a jungle, so I was a little disappointed that the river was wide. However, it was a fun tour as I finally got to ride a water buffalo cart, which I had been looking forward to.

丁度、沖縄が梅雨入りした次の日に
石垣島に行き、翌日朝にホテルに迎えが来て
ツアーに参加しました。
西表島までの船は、強風の影響で、かなり揺れて
少し怖かったです。
西表島のマングローブ遊覧は、勝手にジャングルみたいな所と
思っていたので、川幅が広くてちょっと、私的には残念
でも、念願の水牛車に乗れて楽しいツアーでした。
