All Reviews for 巴士之旅（バスツアー）

We were given the option to pre-order Okinawan soba on the bus ahead of the stop at Okashi Goten. We chose not to order as we wanted to look at other options. When we arrived, the pre-ordered food was ready on the tables. We only had 35 minutes at this stop and as the restaurant was busy we didn’t risk ordering food.

Churaumi Aquarium is lovely and you could easily spend a full day there. I recommend checking the times for the planetarium as we were sad to miss this!

I was most excited for Pineapple Park and had assumed that despite the pineapple cart ticket not being included in the tour, we would still have the opportunity to do it out of our own pocket. This is not the case. Instead we were given a ticket for the “shopping route” which meant we didn’t see ANY of the park and instead spent the 30 minutes walking through a big long gift shop. There was free wine samples but I could’ve done with a full glass after this long day.

We participated as a family of four. The water buffalo cart (with island songs) and round-trip ferry were great value, and we are grateful for the friendly service. It was our first time in Ishigaki Island, and it became a wonderful memory. I definitely want to recommend this to everyone.

家族4人で参加しました。水牛車(島唄付き)と往復フェリー込みでコスパに優れ、親切な対応に感謝しております。初めての石垣島、良い思い出になりました。是非皆さんにお勧めしたいです。

The price for the water buffalo cart and ferry is surprising! It takes about 10 minutes by bus from the Taketomi Island ferry terminal to reach the center. After that, we enjoyed a ride on the water buffalo cart while listening to the guide's stories and the sounds of the sanshin and singing. I could really feel the guide's love for Taketomi Island, which was nice.

At the end, I was able to take photos of the water buffalo up close, which was very soothing. Everyone was delighted and said they were cute. After that, we had free time and could choose a ferry at 4 PM or 5 PM.

It rained, but it cleared up quickly, and I enjoyed strolling around, seeing the island's plants, vibrant flowers, and butterflies. At Kaiji Beach, I felt liberated from everyday life and was enchanted by the cobalt blue sea. I definitely want to stay next time! Thank you very much!

水牛車とフェリーでこの価格は驚き‼️
竹富島フェリー乗り場からバスで約10分で中心地へ到着。その後水牛車に乗ってガイドさんの話や三線と歌を楽しむ。ガイドさんの竹富島愛が所々に感じ良かったです
最後に水牛の写真もとても近くで撮らせて貰い癒されました。皆、可愛いと大喜びでした。
その後は自由行動で16時か17時のフェリーを選び自由行動。
雨が降ったがすぐ晴れて島の植物、鮮やかな花、蝶を見て散策し、カイジ浜では日常から解放されコバルトブルーの海の色に酔いしれました。次回は是非とも宿泊したいです！
本当に有難うございました。

I used this service for a trip with my 75-year-old mother. Initially, we only planned to visit the Churaumi Aquarium, but due to my mother's requests—she mentioned that a friend said Pineapple Park was great and that she wanted to see the long bridge—we looked for a course that combined these attractions and decided on this one.

The bus was shared, and it seemed that there were more customers from English-speaking and Chinese-speaking countries than Japanese. The guide provided only the necessary minimum explanations, but we were able to get the required information from the recorded audio guides in various languages, so there were no particular issues.

If you’re on the same course, renting a car would give you more freedom with your time, but if driving is difficult, I think this option is better.

75歳の母との二人旅で利用しました。
当初は美ら海水族館だけ行く予定でしたが「友人がパイナップルパークがよかったと言っている」「長い橋も見てみたい」との母の要望で、これらが一つにまとまったコースはないかと探した結果、これに決めました。
バスは混載で、見たところ日本人より英語圏や中国語圏のお客さんのほうが多いように思われました。ガイドさんは必要最低限の説明でしたが、録音された各国語の音声ガイドで必要な情報は得られ、特に問題はなかったです。
同じコースならレンタカーで回るほうが時間が自由になりますが、運転が大変などといった場合は、こちらのほうがよいと思いました。

The guide and driver were kind and pleasant, making for a fun day. I'm glad I chose this tour.
- At Manza Beach, the arrival time was in the evening, which was unfortunate due to backlighting. I think it would be better if the course could be changed.

ガイドさんもドライバーも親切で感じが良く楽しい1日で、このツアーを選んで良かった。
-万座毛　到着時間が夕刻という事もあり、逆光で大変残念でした。コース変更できたら良いと思われる。

The first stop, Cape Hedo, offers a magnificent view. At Oishi Forest Park, it was not crowded, so we could walk easily. If it were a busy season, it would probably be congested and hard to walk. The sounds of birds, sunlight filtering through the trees, and the unique rock formations create a powerful spot!

We had three hours at the aquarium, so we were able to see everything, including the whale shark, sea turtles, and the dolphin show. On the way back, the sunset was beautiful, and although we walked 17,000 steps and were tired, it was a lot of fun.

最初の辺戸岬は雄大な景色
大石林山はすいていてサクサク歩けました。混んでる時期なら渋滞して歩けないでしょう。 鳥の声 林から差し込む日差し 奇岩のパワースポット！
水族館は3時間あったのでジンベイザメ、海ガメ、イルカショーまで全て見れました。帰りも夕焼けがきれいで、徒歩1.7万歩疲れましたが楽しかったです。

This time, I participated in the course at Kouri Island and American Village. There were many participants from overseas, and I was worried about the timing, but thanks to the bilingual guide, the sightseeing went smoothly.
At American Village, I was able to see a beautiful sunset, which was amazing! Thank you!

今回は古宇利島・アメリカンヴィレッジのコースに参加しました。海外からの参加者の方が多く、時間など心配でしたが、バイリンガルのガイドさんのおかげでスムーズに観光できました。
アメリカンヴィレッジでは、綺麗な夕焼けが見れて最高でした！ありがとうございます！

I thought it would be quite difficult to visit three islands in one day on my own, so I signed up for this tour. At the reception counter, I was given tickets, and I handed them over each time I used the boat, bus, water buffalo cart, or had a meal. While there isn't a dedicated guide, there are people waiting with cards displaying the tour number I was given in advance when I got off the boat or bus, and they let me know what to do next. Following their instructions to get on the vehicles, have meals, and gather at the designated times made it easy to enjoy the experience, even as a solo participant.

個人で3島を1日で回るのはなかなか大変と思い、このツアーに申し込みました。
受付カウンターでチケットを渡され、船・バス・水牛車・食事を利用するたびにチケットを渡していく感じ。専属のガイドがつくわけではありませんが、船やバスを降りれば、事前に教えられたツアー番号のカードを持った方が待っており、次にどうすればよいか教えてくれます。その指示に従って乗り物に乗ったり、食事をしたり、時間になったら集合するだけなので、一人参加でも気軽に楽しめました。

It was good. It was my first time on a tour with an earphone guide, and it felt a bit lacking. But the guide played the sanshin for us, which was fun.

良かったです。イアホンガイドのツアーが初めてでちょっと物足りなかった。でもガイドさんがサンシンを弾いてくれて楽しかったです。

The stay at Wanmouza and Kouri Island was particularly short, so I couldn't take my time to take photos. I thought there wasn't much to see at American Village, so it might not be worth going.

万毛座と古宇利島の滞在時間が特に短くて、ゆっくり写真を撮ることもできなかった。アメリカンビレッジは特に見る所もなく行かなくても良いかと思いました。

If this your first time to Okinawa, this tour is a good way to see North Okinawa without the hassle of taking public transportation. The bus plays a recorded English commentary for those who can't understand Japanese. Bus was on time and Japanese lady guide was nice. She sang quite a few Okinawan songs during the tour which was entertaining. Good singer too!
After picking up all participants from various hotels, the tour started with a short stop at Cape Manza, then to Kouri Island and a lunch stop after. Next, we went to Churarium Aquarium (150min stay) which is located at Ocean Expo Park with free dolphin show at various time throughout the day , turtle & manatee pool outside the Aquarium. (There're many electric trolley that go around the park for Y200 unlimited ride) Managed to see Emerald Beach, Okinawan Village (I don't find this one interesting), and watched the 15-20min Dolphin show @3pm (this is the highlight of the tour) Walked back to the bus scheduled to leave at 3:40pm
Re: Nago Pineapple Park, nothing much going on here. Walked the Dinosaur botanical garden, sample some wine & snacks.
Overall, if you have time to spare, this is a long but quite enjoyable tour.

I think most of the people who participated in this tour were mainly interested in the Okinawa's Okiishi Forest, and not so much in the Churaumi Aquarium. If possible, I would like to have about 30 more minutes to explore Okiishi Forest at a more leisurely pace. I believe time adjustments can be made at the roadside station afterward, but what do you think?

It was great that we arrived at the Churaumi Aquarium just in time to see the dolphin show.

今回このツアーに参加したほとんどの方が大石林山目当てで美ら海水族館はそんなに興味がない方ばかりだと思います。出来ればもう少しゆっくり大石林山をまわれるようにあと30分ぐらい多めに取って欲しいです。時間調整はその後の道の駅でも出来るかと思いますが如何なものでしょうか？
美ら海水族館に着いてタイミング良くイルカショーが見れたのは良かったです。

Fantastic tour with a very informative and friendly guide and a friendly driver. The schedule was quite well arranged--nothing felt particularly hurried although that could be because we had expected that all stops outside of the main aquarium one would be brief.

The lunch option (available for an additional 1000yen) was very good--beautiful environment and good food at a fair price. For travellers staying in Naha, I'd recommend skipping the Okashigoten shop there (there's a similar one in Naha with the same prices at which the provided coupon can be used) and exploring/ eating lunch instead.

Travellers who wish to visit the Pineapple Park in great detail should note that this tour makes but a brief stop there. There appears to be a few courses available at the Park but the tour only had time for the shopping course. There was barely any time left at the end of the free wine tasting (which I would highly recommend--the wines are pretty interesting) so travellers who wish to make purchases should be quick.

2.5 hours was plenty for the aquarium and the bus was timed such that tour participants had just enough time to catch the dolphin show at the end. Visiting other attractions, however, might be a bit of a squeeze since the park is quite large, as is the aquarium.

Overall, the tour was a great way to see a lot of Okinawa in a day at a very affordable price. Although the guide and driver didn't speak much English, they did their best and it wasn't a large problem. Would recommend!

I'm glad I was able to join an efficient tour that was compact and well-organized due to my short travel period. It felt like a tour that took all the best parts without any waste. The stories from the man handling the water buffalo were interesting.

旅行期間が短いので、ぎゅっと凝縮した効率の良いツアーに参加できて良かったと思います。無駄のないいいとこどりのツアーという感じです。水牛をあやつるおっちゃんのお話が面白かったです。

The Churaumi Aquarium was great because I had plenty of time to leisurely explore the exhibits! The bus guide also shared various stories, which made it very enjoyable!

美ら海水族館はとても時間があってゆっくり館内を見ることができて本当に良かったです！バスガイドさんも色んなお話しをしてくださってとても楽しかったです！

I used a tour to Taketomi Island. There was a shuttle from the ferry terminal, but the bus was smaller than I expected, and the road was worse than I imagined. Families with children should be careful.

竹富島へのツアーを利用しました。
フェリーターミナルから、送迎がありましたが、バスが思ったやり小さかったのと、想像以上に道が悪路でした。お子様連れは気をつけてください。

I often visit Okinawa, but I had never been to the northernmost point before. This time, I was able to enjoy the scenery slowly while taking the bus. It was great to visit tourist spots like Cape Hedo, Daichi Forest, and the Churaumi Aquarium.

沖縄にはよく来ていますが、最北端までは行ったことがありませんでした。
今回バスで、ゆっくりと景色を見ながら楽しむ事が出来ました。
辺戸岬・大石林山・美ら海水族館と観光スポットを回ることができたのも良かったです。

Nice ride around Okinawa
Loved being able to see a lot without having to drive around with three small children.
They loved the aquarium and I appreciated the lunch and small gifts that came with trip.
Would definitely recommend this to others.

I had a full day of fun. It's definitely easier than arranging everything on your own. I can confidently say that it's worth paying for this tour! I highly recommend it!

１日たっぷり遊べました。個人で手配するより断然楽。これだったらお金を払ってもよい！と断言できるツアーでした。おすすめですよ！

I wanted to visit the Churaumi Aquarium, so I joined this bus tour. I think it's a great deal as it also takes you to famous tourist spots in Okinawa. The veteran guide's explanations were thorough and easy to understand, making it pleasant to listen to. Personally, I found the bridge to Kouri Island and the view of the sea from underneath the bridge to be beautiful. The timing felt just right. However, the Churaumi Aquarium was crowded, and if you wait for the crowds to thin out, you might run out of time, so I recommend moving quickly through the exhibits. You can see the key attractions, and the large tank with the whale sharks is breathtaking; you could watch it forever. The dolphin show was also heartwarming. It was a very satisfying tour.

美ら海水族館に行きたくてこのバスツアーに参加しました。水族館の他にも沖縄の有名な観光地をまわれて、大変お得なツアーだと思います。
ベテランガイドさんのお話も説明も丁寧で分かりやすく、聞いていて心地よかったです。
個人的には古宇利島の橋や橋の下から見る海がキレイでとてもよかったです。時間配分は丁度良く感じました。
ただ美ら海水族館は混雑していて、人だかりを空くのを待って見ていると時間が足りなくなるのでサクサク見ることをオススメします。
要所は見ることができ、巨大水槽やジンベイザメは圧巻でいつまでも見ていられます。イルカショーも見ていてほっこりしました。
大満足のツアーでした。

This was my first trip to Okinawa. I had hoped to visit the observation tower and Mihama, but since there were no openings, I chose this option instead.

I wanted to have lunch around the aquarium, so I didn't eat at Okashi Goten, but just looking at souvenirs left me with too much time on my hands. I thought I could explore a bit more since Ocean Expo Park has various facilities, but the bus stop was quite far away, and I only had time to see the aquarium, the manatee pavilion, and the dolphin show. I was hoping to have lunch at a restaurant, but it seemed like there were mostly food court options like burgers and soba, and I didn't have the luxury of taking my time…

Personally, I enjoyed the dinosaur area at Nago Pineapple Park more. I felt there were quite a few souvenir shops, so if I had known, I would have spent more time here instead of on the farm tour.

The guide shared a lot of interesting information about Okinawa at various locations, which was very nice.

As noted, it seems that transportation can be quite delayed. Even at the meeting time and departure time, there was no bus in sight near the hotel, and just when I was about to contact someone, the bus arrived. It would have been reassuring to receive a notification about the delay… (I was quite anxious, wondering if I was at the wrong waiting spot). The return shuttle to the hotel was also an hour late (there were some people who returned late at the departure time as well). I recommend planning your schedule with some extra time.

今回初めての沖縄旅行です。
展望塔と美浜の方希望だったのですが空きがなかったのでこちらにしました。

水族館周りで昼食にしたかったので御菓子御殿で昼食をとらなかったのですが、お土産を見るだけだと時間を持て余してしまいました。
海洋博公園は施設も色々あるので他も少し見て回れるかと思ってたんですがバス停までも結構離れてるし、水族館とマナティー館、イルカショーだけ見てあとは見る余裕もあまりありませんでした。
ランチもどこかレストランで…と思っていたのですが（バーガーやそばなどフードコートのような所が多かった気が…）ゆっくりしてる余裕もなく…(´；ω；`)
ナゴパイナップルパークは個人的に恐竜エリアの方が楽しめました。お土産屋さんが割と多かった印象だったので、判っていれば畑の見学よりこちらに時間取ってました。

ガイドさんが場所場所で沖縄の話を色々して下さりとても良かったです。


注意書きの所にもありますが、交通事情で結構遅れるようです。
集合時間になっても出発時刻になってもホテル付近にバスが見当たらず、連絡しようと思った所にバスが到着。遅れる旨連絡頂けたら安心できたのですが…（待機場所が間違っているのかとかなり焦りました）
帰りのホテルへの送迎も1時間遅れでした(出発時間に遅れて戻ってくる方がいたこともありますが）
余裕をもって予定を組んでおくことをお勧めします。

The first sightseeing spot, Manza Beach, was crowded with foreigners, making it difficult to enjoy. At the main attraction, Churaumi Aquarium, there was plenty of time to fully appreciate it. However, at Nago Pineapple Park, I only had about 20 minutes for a restroom break and shopping due to time constraints. I was really looking forward to visiting Pineapple Park, so I was quite disappointed. I would prefer to skip Manza Beach and spend more time at Nago Pineapple Park instead. However, the bus tour was very convenient, as it included hotel pick-up and drop-off, allowed for drinking, and provided the opportunity to nap during the ride.

最初に観光した万座毛は外国人が多く、満足に観ることができません。
メインの美ら海水族館は時間もたっぷりあり、満足に観ることができます。
ナゴパイナップルパークは、時間がなく、トイレと買い物のみで20分ほどしか滞在できませんでした。パイナップルパークに行くのもとても楽しみにしていたため、がっかりしてしまいました。万座毛をやめて、その分ナゴパイナップルパークにもっと時間をとって頂きたいです。
ただ、バスツアーはやはり、ホテルまで送迎、お酒も飲め、移動中寝ることもでき、非常に楽でした。

I joined this tour because it goes to Cape Hedo by bus. I've been to the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium before, but I had never been further north, so I was really looking forward to it. Once you get on the bus, it takes you to your destination, which is convenient! You can relax and enjoy the scenery from the window.

Cape Hedo is truly impressive. It was absolutely breathtaking. Since the time was a bit short, I wish we had about 20 more minutes. I wasn't very familiar with Daichi Forest, but I heard it's a power spot. It's quiet and very soothing. However, because it rained, the ground was slippery, so it's better to wear shoes that are less slippery.

At the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, we had plenty of time, so I was able to enjoy both the dolphin show and the aquarium. The guide was easy to understand and very approachable, which was great. We had a little chat about Amuro-chan, which was fun!

バスツアーで辺戸岬まで行けるという事でこのツアーに参加しました。
美ら海水族館は行った事あるのですが、それより北側には行った事なかったので、とても楽しみにしてました。
一度バスに乗って仕舞えばあとは目的地まで連れて行ってくれるのでラクです！車窓の景色を見ながらのんびりできます。
辺戸岬は流石の迫力ですね。まさに絶景でした。時間が短めなので、あと20分位ほしかったかな。
大石林山はよく知らなかったのですが、パワースポットとの事。静かで癒されます。ただ、雨が降ったせいか足元が滑りやすかったので靴は滑りにくいものの方がいいです。
美ら海水族館は時間がたっぷりあったので、イルカショーと水族館両方とも楽しめました。
ガイドさんの案内もわかりやすく、話しやすい方でよかったです。少しだけですが安室ちゃんトーク楽しかったですw

It was my first trip to Okinawa. I was really torn about where to go, whether to rent a car or take the Yui Rail, but after much deliberation, I discovered this great value monitor tour on an internet site and signed up. To sum it up, it had great cost performance, a good travel itinerary, the Churaumi Aquarium was fantastic, and Emerald Beach was wonderful—this bus tour was perfect for a first-time trip to Okinawa. The only downside was that the bus seemed old, and there was a smell of exhaust inside, plus the ride was uncomfortable. Other than that, the guide's explanations were enjoyable and thorough, which was great. I would definitely like to use a different plan when I come for my second trip to Okinawa.

人生初めての沖縄旅行でした。何処に行こうかとか、レンタカーを借りようか、ゆいレールにしようかと、迷いに迷ったあげく、インターネットサイトで、このお得な、モニターツアーを発見し、申し込みました。結果から言えばコスパ良し、旅行の工程プラン良し、美ら海水族館よし、エメラルドビーチ良しで、初めて沖縄旅行するには、もってこいのバスツアーでした。ただ残念なのはバスが古いのか車内に排ガスの臭いがあり、また乗り心地がＸ。その他は、ガイドさんの案内も楽しく、丁寧で、良かったです。また2回目の沖縄旅行に来た時もぜひ違うプランで利用したいです。

Although it didn't rain, it was cloudy and windy due to the typhoon's influence. Due to our schedule, we went in the afternoon on the day we arrived in Ishigaki Island.

The high-speed boat to Taketomi Island is smaller and tends to sway more, almost bouncing over the waves. It was great that we arrived at Taketomi Island quickly. On the way back, we took a larger boat which was much steadier.

Our first sightseeing activity was a glass-bottom boat. The captain was very experienced and showed us shallow areas where the glass bottom of the boat was almost touching the coral reefs. He was very familiar with the points of interest. As expected, some people had to use the sick bags.

The water buffalo cart moved very slowly, allowing the water buffalo to take the lead on the path, and I was impressed that the cars could pass without scraping on the narrow roads. The island bus tour included stops at places like Hoshizuna Beach, and the guidance was very kind. We were able to experience the sightseeing points of Taketomi Island in a compact manner.

雨こそ降らなかったけれど，台風の影響で曇りで風が強かったです．日程の関係で石垣島到着日の午後に行きました．
竹富島まで行く高速艇は小さいほど揺れます，というか波の上を跳ねていく感じです．竹富島が近くて直ぐに着いてよかったです．帰りは大きめの船で落ち着いていました．
最初の観光はグラスボートでした．船頭さんは非常にベテランで大揺れの船底のガラスに珊瑚礁が当たるすれすれまで浅いところを見せてくれました．ポイントを熟知しておられます．案の定エチケット袋を使うかたが出ました．
水牛車はとてもとてものんびり走行し，水牛に走行路を任せていますが，狭い道を車が擦れないで通るのは感心しました．島内バス観光は星砂の浜などのコースですが親切な案内でした．コンパクトに竹富島の観光ポイントを経験できました．

I couldn't go to the Busena Marine Park, but instead, I went to the Dinosaur Park, and my 9-year-old granddaughter was unexpectedly thrilled! By the way, she's a girl. She was even more excited than at the Churaumi Aquarium.

Now she's completely fallen in love with traveling!

Thank you!

ブセナ海中公園には行けなかったけど。

代わりに、恐竜パークに行って、

9才の孫は、まさかのおお喜び!ちなみに女の子ですけど。

美ら海水族館よりテンションあがってました。

次の旅行は、どこ行く?って、

すっかり旅行好きになりました!

ありがとうございました!

It's an ambitious course that you can't fully explore in a day, yet somehow time moves slowly. Starting with a mangrove jungle cruise, I was surprisingly relaxed on the water buffalo cart, and cycling on Taketomi Island was refreshing! Each of the three places had a different vibe and atmosphere, and I was very satisfied!

自分では、1日で周りきれない欲張りコースなのに、何故か時間がゆっくり動きます。マングローブのジャングルクルーズから始まり、水牛車には自分でもびっくりするほど癒されて、竹富島ではサイクリングでスカッとしました〜。
3箇所全部違う顔、雰囲気があり大変満足でした！

It's a shame the weather wasn't clear. I was healed by the cuteness of the water buffalo. The golden chrysalis was surprising! It was impressive.

お天気がカラッととはいかなかったのが残念。水牛の可愛さに癒されました。金色のサナギが驚き‼️印象的でした。

The staff's prompt and friendly service.
Although it was a short time, it was an experience of island time.
Since it was a whirlwind trip, this kind of relaxed time was perfect for us.

スタッフの迅速で親切な対応。
短い時間でしたが、島国時間の体験。
弾丸旅行だったので、こんなのんびりした時間が私たちにはピッタリでした。

I participated from a hotel in Naha City. Since it was a business hotel, we gathered at Kenmin Plaza, but it was conveniently less than a 10-minute walk from the hotel. My main purpose was to visit the aquarium, and even with the round-trip bus fare from Naha City and the aquarium ticket price, I received change from the tour fee.

Especially at the aquarium, they coordinated the schedule to fit the dolphin show times, and I had time to sit at a café and observe the whale sharks, which was delightful. On Kouri Island, we had time to eat soft serve ice cream and take photos on the beach. The guide's advice was not only accurate but also subtle, making it a pleasant experience.

那覇市内のホテルから参加しました。ビジネスホテルだったので、県民広場集合でしたが、ホテルから歩いて10分もかからない距離で便利でした。水族館に行くのがメインの目的でしたが、那覇市内からのバス往復、水族館チケット代だけても、ツアー料金からお釣りがきます。
とくに水族館ではイルカショーなどの時間帯にも合わせてくださり、ジンベイザメをカフェで座って観察する時間もあり、満喫出来ました。古宇利島ではソフトクリームを食べて、浜辺で写真を撮る時間もありました。ガイドさんのアドバイスが的確なうえにさりげなくて、心地良かったです。
