All Reviews for 巴士之旅（バスツアー）

I was the only American that day on the bus but they provided me with a translator radio which explained the areas we drove through in English so I learned a lot about the areas along the beautiful coastal drive leading to the Aquarium.

First of all, the Guide does not speak english and doesn't even recognize me speaking japanese to her. Instead of talking at all to me, she just pointed to everything. She smiled and talked to the other participants, but couldn't even try to smile with me.
We drove 3 hours to pick up other participants and than had 40 minutes in the Pineapple Park. We rushed through it and had only 5 minutes left, when we arrived in the souvenir shop, i had no time to try anything or buy anything. Than we had 50 minutes in a shopping mapp in which we didn't even go inside, instead we went to the sandwich store infront, because they had coupons for it, for everybody to have one bad sandwich. We decided to have Okinawa noodles at that place and payed a bit more. Then we arrived in the aquarium, 3 hours are not enough at all for this huge place. It is so beautiful and there is a whole park around it with more museums and tropical gardens around it. Again i rushed through it. In the end we stopped at a sweet potato souvenir shop to buy stuff and then 3 hours getting everybody back.
The Pineapple Park is nice, cute and a bit bizarr, but 40 min are definitly not enough, the Aquarium is awesome, but 3 hours is not enough.
We spent more time wasting time with picking up people and eating bad sandwiches than with the main events. And the guide is only nice to japanese people. The english translator device is also bad, you don't understand anything and it has that disturbing cracking sound.
I am not satisfied with the tour.
I am satisfied with Pineapple Park and Aquarium which are definitly worth seeing it, but better go there by yourself. :(

Since there is no seat assignment, I was sitting next to strangers. The guide was efficient, but there was a lot of pressure; if anyone was even a minute late for the meeting time, they would leave without them. People in the back seats were even saying, "Is this a military operation?" The course covered all the tourist attractions, which was great.

座席指定ではないのでしらない人と隣同士
ガイドさんはテキパキしてるといえばいいが集合時間に１分でも遅れたら置いてくとかとにかく圧がすごかった。後ろの席の人達も軍隊かよ！と言ってました。
コースは観光名所を網羅していて良かった。

I had a great time efficiently visiting three remote islands for the first time. I was able to enjoy sightseeing without feeling rushed.

During the ferry ride, I was on the deck, but the wind was quite strong, so it might have been better to sit inside. I was satisfied with exploring Taketomi Island freely by renting a bicycle.

初めての離島を3島を効率よく回れて楽しかったです。時間もせわしないこともなく観光ができました。
移動時間のフェリーではデッキにいたので風がすごすぎるため、中に座った方が良かったかもしれないです。竹富島はレンタサイクルで自由に散策できて満足でした。

I think it was a good decision to use a sightseeing bus that allows you to sleep during the journey, as attractions in the central region, like the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, take quite a bit of time to reach from Naha City. Especially since the Ocean Expo Park, where the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium is located, is large and can be tiring to explore.

Additionally, it unfortunately rained on the day of our visit, but it was great that there was a course that could still be enjoyed even in the rain.

美ら海水族館など中部の観光地は、那覇市内から行くと結構時間がかかるので、移動中寝ていても大丈夫な観光バスを利用して正解だと思いました。特に、美ら海水族館がある海洋博公園は広くて疲れるので、なおさらです。
また、当日はあいにくの雨となりましたが、雨でも楽しめるコースとなっていて、良かったです。

This is a great option for those who do not have cars, but still want to see the Okinawan sites. This is a great alternative to get around, although the time at each place was tight and we couldn't spend as much time at each location as we wanted, we had a lot of fun following along the tour. Everyone on the tour was also very nice and accommodating.

I was able to fully enjoy the northern part of Okinawa.

There are two trekking courses, and I chose the shorter one just in case, but it ended quickly. If you're young, the longer course should be fine.

Even though it was a weekday, the restaurant at the roadside station during lunch break was extremely crowded. The food was delicious, but the staff seemed overwhelmed, and the seating arrangements and clean-up were a bit sloppy. If you want to eat leisurely or look at souvenirs, it might be better to bring a bento or grab something from a nearby convenience store.

We had plenty of time at the Churaumi Aquarium, and I felt a bit restless for about an hour, but I think those who love aquariums or have children will be able to enjoy it at a relaxed pace.

沖縄北部をいっきに満喫できました

トレッキングは2コースあり、時間が心配で念のため短い方にしましたがすぐ終わってしまい、普通に若い方なら長い方でも大丈夫そうです。

平日でしたが、ランチ休憩の道の駅のレストランは激混みでした。おいしかったけど店員さんがキツそうで、席への案内や片付けがずさんです。
ゆっくり食べたい、お土産も見たい方はお弁当持参か近くのコンビニで済ませても良いかもしれません。

美ら海水族館の時間がたっぷりとられていて、1時間くらい持て余しましたが、水族館が好きな方やお子様連れの方には余裕をもって楽しめると思います。

I thought it would be a busier tour, but I was able to take my time and really enjoy the mangroves. The guide's explanations were clear and enjoyable, which was great.

The view from Nishizaki Pier on Taketomi Island, which I've always dreamed of visiting, was just as wonderful as I expected, and I was very satisfied.

The Okinawa zenzai I had on Taketomi Island, with its fluffy ice and brown sugar syrup, was exquisite❣ I had a full day of fun.

もっと忙しいツアーかと思っていましたが、じっくりマングローブを見てきました。ガイドさんの説明も分かりやすく楽しくて良かったです。

憧れの竹富島、西桟橋からの眺めは思っていたとおりの素晴らしさ大満足です。

竹富島で食べた沖縄ぜんざい、フワフワの氷と黒糖シロップがぜんざいと絶妙❣ 1日たっぷり楽しめました

The guide was kind and provided detailed introductions, making for a wonderful day! The aquarium was very beautiful, with the sea displaying various colors like blue and green, it was stunning.

ガイドさんはやさしい、詳しい紹介される、素晴らしい一日過ぎました！水族館はすごく綺麗、海も青色、緑など色な色があります、綺麗

I rode a water buffalo cart for the first time! This time, I was guided by Yuki, who had a hibiscus flower attached. The water buffaloes, who aren't fond of the heat... thank you for your hard work even on such a hot day! At Hoshi no Suna Beach, I collected a lot of star sand. I also received a souvenir, so I'll keep it together. Next time, I plan to come during a cooler season and take my time exploring the island. Thank you to all the staff at the tourist office for your help in the heat.

水牛車に初めて乗りました！ハイビスカスをつけて貰っていた結くんに今回は案内してもらいましたよ。暑いのが苦手な水牛さんたち・・・こんな暑い日にも、お仕事お疲れ様です！ありがとう！星の砂海岸では、沢山星砂を拾いました。記念品でもいただけたので、一緒に入れておきます。今度は暑く無い時期に来て、ゆっくり島を回ってみようと思います。
観光所のスタッフの皆さんも暑い中、ありがとうございました。

The tour departs at 14:30.
As soon as we arrived at Taketomi Island, we enjoyed a glass-bottom boat (with air conditioning! Apparently, this is the only company that offers it so far). There were no other guests, so we had the boat to ourselves.
After that, we enjoyed a water buffalo cart ride, and the tour ended around 16:15.
It was too hot to feel like going outside, so we waited for the bus to the port in the waiting area (which also had air conditioning).

It was quite a good deal and a lot of fun.

14:30発のツアー。
竹富島に到着してすぐにグラスボート（エアコンあり！今のところこの会社だけだそうです）。他の客はいなくて貸し切りで楽しめました。
その後水牛車を楽しんで、終了は16時15分くらい。
暑すぎて外に出る気にならず、そのまま港へのバスを待機所で待ちました（エアコンあり）。

かなりお得で楽しめました。

The price felt like a good deal, and we were able to thoroughly enjoy the streets of Taketomi Island and Kondoi Beach with the water buffalo cart. Next time, it might be nice to have a plan to stay all day.

お値段的にお得感があり、水牛車も竹富島の街並みやコンドイ浜を十二分に楽しめた。
今度は一日中居るプランでも良いかも

I participated alone this time, but they were very considerate towards individuals! The guides were also very kind and even though they seemed busy, they responded with care! This experience made me want to join another tour on a different occasion! I highly recommend it!

今回は一人で参加しましたが、一人の人に対しても配慮のある対応をしてくれました！またガイドの方々もとても優しく忙しそうにしていても丁寧に対応してくれました！また別の機会別のツアーに参加してみたいと思わせていただきました！おススメです！

I was glad to hear the guide's fun stories and information about Okinawa! It was great to learn about things that I might have missed just by researching on my own!

ガイドさんの楽しいお話や沖縄についての話が聞けて良かったです！
調べるだけでは見逃してしまうところも知れて良かったです！

I signed up for a round-trip ferry and water buffalo cart tour. It's overwhelmingly more economical than purchasing separately. The water buffalo tour was well-guided, and above all, it was a special experience to leisurely explore the streets of Taketomi Island while enjoying the scenery from the cart. Be sure to sit at the front of the water buffalo cart! If you sit at the back, the buffalo will be far away, and it will be hard to hear the explanations.

フェリー往復と水牛車観光のツアーに申し込みました。
別々に購入するよりも圧倒的にお得です。
水牛観光はガイドさんの説明も上手で、なによりも竹富島の街並みを眺めながら水牛車でゆっくりと観光できるのは特別な時間でした。
水牛車には必ず前方に乗ってください！後方だと水牛が遠く、説明も聞きづらいです。

The super strong water buffalo can pull a cart with about 20 people. This time, I got to ride on a water buffalo named A-pa-kun! Its body was large and impressive, but it had big, round eyes and was very calm and adorable. The guide's performance on the sanshin was also wonderful. Additionally, the explanation about Taketomi Island was very informative! The townscape had a distinct Okinawan charm, and I was able to enjoy a relaxing time. I definitely want to participate again!

20人前後の人が乗った車を引くことができる超力もちの水牛さん。今回はアーパーくんという水牛の車に乗せてもらいました!体は大きくて迫力があるけれど、目がクリクリで大人しくてとても可愛かったです(^^)ガイドさんの三線の弾き語りも素晴らしかったです。また、竹富島についての説明もとても勉強になりました！
街並みも沖縄らしさがあり、のんびりとした時間が過ごせました。
ぜひまた参加したいと思います!!

Overall, it was an enjoyable trip. We had chance to see many nice places. The scenery was very nice at the place we had lunch.
The pineapple garden was really nice but we could have spent more time there. 40 minutes was not enough to explore the garden and do shopping. Unfortunately, we had to wait for a family for 25 minutes even though it stated that people who didn't arrive on time needed to go to the next destination by themselves.
Aquarium was good as well.

- In addition to the Churaumi Aquarium, we visited four other locations, and since all participants happened to be Japanese, we were able to stick to the schedule and had plenty of time at each place.
- Our veteran bus guide sang beautiful island songs using a shamisen and Okinawan castanets in the quiet bus.
- Last time, I also used a rental car and visited similar places, but this time I didn't have to worry about finding parking, and we were able to enjoy all five locations with a good time allocation and at a relaxed pace.

・美ら海水族館のほか4箇所に寄ったが、偶々参加者全員日本人だった為、集合が時間厳守で其々の場所で余裕があった。
・ベテランバスガイドさんが静かな車内で、三味線や沖縄のカスタネットを使い綺麗な声で島人の唄などを唄ってくれた。
・前回もレンタカーを使い、同じような処を観光したが駐車場を探したりせずに済み、全5箇所の時間配分良くゆったりと堪能出来た。

Cape Hedo and the Great Stone Forest are far from Naha and difficult to visit individually, so I was very satisfied with the tour bus that took us around. Since the tour is mainly free time, there's absolutely no problem participating alone!

辺戸岬や大石林山は那覇からは遠く個人では行きにくい場所なのでツアーバスで巡れてとても満足です。自由行動が基本なので１人参加でも全く問題無し！

The glass boat was new and looked beautiful, and the water buffalo were very cute; I felt relaxed while listening to their songs. I had a lot of fun for this price. The transition from the glass boat to the water buffalo cart was very smooth. Thank you very much!

グラスボートも、最新で綺麗に見え、水牛はとってもかわいく歌を聞きながら癒されました。
このお値段でたっぷり楽しめました。
グラスボートから水牛車までもとってもスムーズに案内していただきました。ありがとうございました❗❗

The guide was thorough and provided a great service, showcasing Okinawan songs and dances. The course was well-organized, highlighting the key attractions and was definitely worth it.

ガイドも手抜きなく又、沖縄の唄や踊りを披露してくれサービス満点でした。
コースも見どころを上手くまとめていて値打ちあり。

I was able to efficiently visit the attractions of the islands. We crossed to Yubu Island on a water buffalo, but water flowed into the seats, so I recommend participating with shoes that can get wet. The water buffalo was very cute (*^^*). On Taketomi Island, I chose the cycling plan. I went to look for star sand, but it seemed like many had already been collected, so I couldn't find as much as I expected (^^; Also, I got lost on the way back to the bicycle rental shop and was worried about making it back in time for the meeting, so I think those who are not confident in their sense of direction should allow extra time on the way back. It was a very enjoyable tour!

効率よく、島々の見所を観光できました。由布島まで水牛に乗って渡るのですが、水が座席にまで流れ込んできますので濡れてもいい靴での参加をオススメします。水牛がとっても可愛かったです(*^^*)竹富島ではサイクリングプランを選択しました。星の砂を探しに行ったのですが、もうたくさん拾われてしまったのか、思ったよりも見つかりませんでした(^^;また、自転車レンタル店舗へ戻るまでの道に迷い、集合に間に合うか焦ってしまったので、方向感覚に自信の無い肩は帰り道は時間に余裕を持って行動した方がいいと思います。とても楽しいツアーでした！

Since we didn't have much time, we chose a relatively quick tour. On the glass boat, we listened to explanations about the fish and coral while enjoying the view. We rode a water buffalo and explored the main street of Taketomi Island, and finally spent a little time at the beach. If we had arranged everything individually, it would have taken much longer, but since it was all set up, the transitions from the water buffalo to the bus were smooth. It was just as I expected, and it met my goals, so I'm satisfied. If you want to fully enjoy it, I think it's better to take your time and go at your own pace.

時間もなかったので、わりとさっと回れるツアーを選びました。ｸﾞﾗｽﾎﾞｰﾄでは魚やさんごの説明ききつつ、見て、水牛にのり竹富島の中心街をめぐり、最後にビーチでちょっと時間。個別に手配して回るともっと時間かかったと思いますが、セットになっていたのでベルトコンベアー式に水牛からバスなどスムーズでした。まあ思っていた通りで、目的通りなのでいいです。しっかり満喫したいなら時間をとって自分たちのペースで回ればいいと思います。

The Nakama River Mangrove Cruise features an open sightseeing boat, and the tropical river and sea breezes felt wonderful. The water buffalo cart on Yufu Island brought smiles and happiness to the faces of the guests. The water buffalo worked hard to cross the sea. Renting a bicycle on Taketomi Island was hot, but I was able to directly feel the atmosphere of the village. However, be cautious of traffic accidents, as light vehicles can come out of intersections quite suddenly.

仲間川マングローブクルーズは、オープンの観光船で、熱帯の川風、海風が気持ちがよかった。
由布島の水牛車は、お客さんの顔はハッピーという笑顔があふれてました。
水牛が頑張って海を渡ってゆきました。
竹富島のレンタサイクル。暑かったが、村の雰囲気を肌に直に感じることができました。ただし、交通事故要注意。交差点から軽四が勢いよく出てきたりする・・

I wanted to visit Daishi Forest Mountain, but since I'm not good at driving, I chose this tour. I was very satisfied with the result.

大石林山に行ってみたく、しかし運転が苦手だったためこのツアーを選択しました。
結果とても満足できました。

After arriving at Taketomi Island, we first took a bus for a tour around the island. After visiting two beaches, we arrived at the Taketomi Tourist Center. We took a ride on a water buffalo, but it seemed to have a mind of its own, which took quite a bit of time (laughs). The weather wasn't great, but we still had a decent time.

竹富島についた後、まずはバスで島内観光
ビーチを２か所回った後、竹富観光センターに到着
水牛で一回りしましたが、乗った水牛が気分屋らしくかなり時間がかかりました（笑）
天気はあまりよくなかったですが、まあまあ楽しめました。

I think it was great to do sightseeing by bus from the resort in one day. However, there wasn't enough time at Pineapple Park. The bus driver was also very nice. Last time, on another tour, the guide shared various interesting tidbits, but this time the guide felt like they were just reading from a script, which was disappointing.

１日でリゾート地からバスでの観光で良かったと思います。パイナップルパークの時間が足りませんでしたが。バスの運転手さんも感じが良かったです。
前回他のツアーでガイドさんがいろいろなマメ情報も教えてもらえたのですが、今回は原稿そのままの棒読みの感じのガイドさんで、それだけが残念でした。

It was my first time on Ishigaki Island.
I was able to spend a satisfying day.
If the weather had been good, I would have been very satisfied (laughs).
Even participating alone, I could stroll around without any stress.

初石垣島でした。
満足できる１日を過ごせられました。
天気が良ければ大満足でしたが(笑)
１人参加でも全然気楽に散策できます。

The mangrove cruise was enjoyable despite a little rain, as I was able to see various plants. I toured Taketomi Island on a water buffalo cart. I had a great time while listening to Okinawan songs!

マングローブクルーズ少し雨が降っていましたが、色々な植物が見れて楽しかったです。
水牛車で竹富島観光をしました。
沖縄の唄を聞きながら満喫できました♪

It was a very satisfying tour. The bus arrived on time, and the driver drove safely. The female tour guide—I'm sorry, I forgot her name—was very kind and attentive. I appreciate it.

As for the weather, there was rain and wind during the tour, but by the time we arrived at the Churaumi Aquarium, it had cleared up beautifully.

During the trekking at Daisekirinzan, I was able to walk without getting too tired. At Cape Hedo, I was moved by the wonderful view, so much so that I didn't mind the rain and wind. Thank you very much for providing such a wonderful experience.

大変満足のいったツアーでした。
バスも時間通りにお迎えに来ていただき、運転手の方も安全運転でまた添乗員の女性の方：お名前を忘れてしまいました。ごめんなさい。
とても親切丁寧は対応でした。感謝です。
お天気の方は　ツアー途中　雨、風ではありましたが美ら海水族館に到着したころは　素晴らしく晴れ上がってました。
大石林山トレッキングでは　それほど疲れない程度で歩けました。
辺戸岬では雨風も気にすることの無いほどの　素晴らしい眺めに感動しました。素晴らしい体験をさせて頂き本当にありがとうございました。
