All Reviews for 巴士之旅（バスツアー）

This tour was great for accomplishing a lot in one day. The free food was of good quality and there are many chances to get souvenirs. It's a great deal since travelling in Okinawa can be quite complicated and expensive, especially since the bus routes aren't available on Google Maps. This tour was good compared to others because you have 3 hours to explore the aquarium and its surrounding attractions; any less and you'd be in a rush. The tour guide was also very kind and did some great singing of Okinawan songs! The tour is in Japanese with English audio guides; if you are learning Japanese and want to try and listen to the Japanese explanations, the language was quite complicated, so I recommend the audio guide as a backup.

We used the bus that stops at our hotel in Ginowan City, which was convenient. The bus made stops at various hotels, so the ride was long and tiring. However, I think the young bus guide made an effort to keep us entertained by sharing Okinawan folk tales and singing songs. I was surprised by how large the whale shark tank was. I'm glad I came, but by the time we returned to the hotel, it was nearly 8 PM and I was exhausted. I think this tour is convenient for those who do not rent a car.

私達が宿泊している宜野湾市のホテルにも寄ってくれるバスで便利なので利用しました。色んなホテルに寄って行くのでバスに乗る時間が長くて疲れました。
でも、若いバスガイドさんが沖縄の民話を教えてくれたり、歌を歌ってくれたりと飽きないような配慮があったと思います。
ジンベイザメの水槽はとても大きくて驚きました。来て良かったと思いますが、ホテルに戻る頃には夜8時近くになって疲れました。レンタカーを利用しない方には便利なツアーかと思います。

For just under $50, the tour included the bus ride-round-trip, the tickets for Pineapple Park, Butterfly Garden, Churami Aquarium, and the souvenir shop that is quite cheap (plus they give you a coupon). It was really worth it and they give you adequate time to see the attractions!

I was surprised that I could make a reservation just two days ago! The bus guide's dance was cute! It was fun even though it was cloudy!

2日前からでも予約ができることにびっくり！
バスのガイドさんの踊りかわいかったです！
曇りでも楽しかった！

It was great to leisurely explore the island by water buffalo cart. The cute water buffalo and the sound of the sanshin were also wonderful!

水牛車でのんびりと島内を散策できてとてもよかった。
かわいい水牛との記念写真や三線の音色もよかった！

On March 16, I participated in this tour with my elderly parents, two children, my wife, and myself, totaling six people. The tour included transportation from the hotel to the remote island terminal, a high-speed ferry from Ishigaki Port to Ohara Port on Iriomote Island, a mangrove tour boat on the Nakama River, and a sightseeing bus to the ox cart boarding area for Yufu Island, all of which were well coordinated, allowing us to participate with great peace of mind.

Moreover, the boat driver for the mangrove tour and the bus driver to the ox cart boarding area provided explanations that rivaled those of a guide, making it very interesting to listen to them. In particular, the bus driver shared many details about the uniqueness of Iriomote Island, including the food chain where special natural monuments eat other special natural monuments and various efforts made for the protection of the Iriomote wildcat, all while mixing in some jokes, which made it very enjoyable. My parents, who joined us, also said, "That bus guide was really great," and I believe it was a tour that left us all very satisfied. Thank you for the truly wonderful memories. It was a great way to show appreciation to my parents.

3/16に高齢の両親、子供2人、妻と私の6人でこのツアーに参加しました。
ツアーは、ホテルから離島ターミナル間の送迎が付いていた上、石垣港から西表島大原港までの高速フェリー、仲間川マングローブツアーの遊覧ボート、由布島への牛車乗り場までの観光バス等、全てが連動していて非常に安心して参加できました。
おまけにマングローブツアーの遊覧ボートの運転手さん、由布島への牛車乗り場までの観光バスの運転手さんがガイドさん顔負けの説明をしてくれて、興味深く聞かせてもらいました。
特にバスの運転手さんは、時折ジョークも交えて西表島の特異性(特別天然記念物が特別天然記念物を食べるという食物連鎖が起きていること、イリオモテヤマネコ保護にいろいろな工夫がなされていること等)を非常に詳しく、楽しく聞かせていただきました。一緒に行った両親も「あのバスガイドさん、凄く良かったね」と言っておりましたし、大満足のツアーだったと思います。本当に楽しい思い出をありがとうございました。良い親孝行ができました。

This time, we traveled with our dog, but we couldn't ride together on the water buffalo cart. However, they took good care of him at the office, and he had a great time. Since he's a dog, I was worried he would bark when he saw the water buffalo, but there's nothing we can do about that. Thank you for the wonderful time.

今回は我が家のワンちゃんと一緒に旅をしましたが、水牛車では一緒に乗ることはできませんでしたが、事務所で預かって頂いて確り楽しませてもらいました。
やはり犬なので水牛を見つけると吠えるので心配でしたが、これもまたしょうがない。
楽しい時間を有り難うございます。

As a beginner in Okinawa and lacking confidence in driving, I participated in this tour. As a result, I was very satisfied. The guide, Mr. Oshima, provided excellent explanations, guidance, and performance.

I highly recommend this tour.

沖縄初心者で運転に自信がないので、このツアーに参加しました。
結果、大変満足できました。
ガイドさんの大城さんも説明や案内、パフォーマンスが
最高でした。

おすすめのツアーです。

The powerful and graceful swimming姿 is something you can watch for a long time. When you go to Okinawa, I definitely recommend stopping by. You can touch the starfish. Gently place it in your hand and return it to the water; it will be a great experience. Please handle them gently.

迫力と優美に泳ぐ姿はずっと見ていられます｡沖縄に行った際には､是非とも立ち寄って欲しいです｡ヒトデには触れる事が出来ます｡そっと手に乗せて､水中に戻せば､良い経験になります｡優しく接して下さい｡

For those who want to explore the remote islands in a nutshell, I recommend it because you can visit various places in one day! The water buffalo cart from Iriomote Island to Yufu Island crosses the strait and offers wonderful scenery, which was very nice. The atmosphere is different from the water buffalo cart experience on Taketomi Island, so I was glad to have that experience in one day! Unfortunately, the lunch was not delicious. Also, it was disappointing that the female driver and guide for the bus tour on Taketomi Island had poor service. For those who are concerned about the boat's swaying, I recommend the premium seat on the boat (500 yen)!

とりあえずざっくり離島を巡りたいって方には
1日で色んな所へ行けるのでおすすめです！
西表島から由布島へ渡る水牛車は海峡を渡り
素敵な景色でとてもよかったです☆
竹富島での水牛車とはまた違う雰囲気なので
1日で経験出来て良かったです！
残念だったことはお昼のお食事が美味しくなかったです。
そして、竹富島でのバス観光担当だった女性の
運転手兼ガイドの方の対応が悪かったのが残念でした。
船の揺れが気になるって方には船のプレミアム
シート(500円)がおすすめです！

I don't drive, so it was great that I could explore areas that are not accessible by monorail by car. The aquarium could have been open for a little longer.

自分は運転しないので、モノレールでいけない範囲を車で回っていただけたのは良かったです。
水族館の時間がもう少し長くてもよかったかもしれません。

Since there was a family member who got seasick, we decided to skip the island hopping and only took a tour of Taketomi Island. The high-speed boat ride was quick. The water buffalo cart was also very nice, but there were some photo stops that were a bit of a hassle. I think it's unnecessary when riding a bicycle...

I believe a bicycle is the best way to explore the town. Even though it was March, it was hot. Both Kondoi Beach and Kaiji Beach were beautiful and impressive. It's a bit more than a 10-minute bike ride, but definitely worth it! If you make a reservation in advance, the guidance is quicker, so I recommend checking the weather and booking ahead.

船酔いする家族がいたので、離島巡りは断念し竹富島のみのツアーでした。
高速船で、あっという間です。
水牛車もとても良かったですが、所々写真撮影があって、ちょっと面倒くさかったです。
自転車乗る時のは不要だと思います…

街中を巡るなら自転車がベストだと思います。
3月とは言え、暑かったので。
コンドイ浜、カイジ浜共に綺麗で感動しました。自転車で10分以上ですが、ぜひ！
予約しておくと案内が早いので、お天気を見て予約をオススメします。

The water buffalo cart on Taketomi Island takes you around the village, offering a different charm compared to Yubu Island, and it was enjoyable (*´∇｀*). After that, I went to Nishizaki Pier, Koidoi Beach, and Hoshizuna no Hama to take photos... I wanted to take my time at my own pace, so I chose cycling! It was a bit sweaty, but it felt really nice! However, be careful in the village as the gravel can catch your tires and make you almost fall!

こちら竹富島の水牛車は集落をまわるので、由布島とまた違った赴きがあり、楽しかったです(*´∇｀*)
その後は西桟橋・コイドイビーチ・星砂の浜へ写真を撮りに…自分のペースで時間を使いたいので、サイクリングを選びました！少し汗ばむくらいでしたが、とても気持ち良かったです！
でも集落内は砂利でタイヤをとられて転けそうになったりしたので、要注意です！

During my last trip, I visited Cape Hedo. However, due to bad weather, I couldn't climb Mount Oishi. This time, I was fortunate to join a great tour. I had fun all day long. Next year, I want to participate in a different tour.

前回旅行した際、辺戸岬にはいったのですが。天気が悪かったので大石林山には登れませんでした。今回良いツァーに恵まれました。一日中楽しかったです。来年は別のツァーで参加したいです。

I had a wonderfully relaxing time in Ishigaki and exploring Taketomi Island. I definitely want to go back. Next time, I’d like to experience the night and early morning life on Taketomi Island!

石垣宿泊～竹富島観光
すごくのんびりした時間を過ごせます。
絶対また行きたくなります。
今度は夜＆早朝の竹富島生活をしてみたいな‼

I took advantage of an unexpected long weekend for a solo trip to Okinawa.
I want to go to the aquarium! I want to see the blue ocean!
...But I thought I couldn't go because I don't have a car...
However, the sightseeing bus took me there! ☺️

Since the Yui Rail only runs partially,
I was really glad to have the sightseeing bus!
I had a great time!

急にとれた連休を利用しての沖縄一人旅。
水族館に行きたい！青い海がみたい！
…しかし車がないから行けないか…
と思っていたのですが、観光バスさんが連れてってくれました☺️

ゆいレールは一部しか走っていないので、
観光バスがあって本当に良かった！
満喫できました

Okinawa has high bus fares and limited service, making it difficult to explore on your own, but this tour was great as it offered affordable prices and fun sightseeing spots. The only downside was the extremely short stay at Nago Pineapple Park. When there are too many stops, it feels rushed at each location, so I think a bit more time overall would be appreciated.

沖縄は路線バスの運賃が高く本数も少ないので、あちこち個人で巡るのは難儀ですが、こちらのツアーはお手頃価格で楽しい観光スポットを回ってくれるので良かったです。唯一、ナゴパイナップルパークでの滞在時間が極端に少なかったのが残念。立ち寄る場所が多すぎると、どの場所も駆け足になってしまうので、全般的に若干ゆとりが欲しいかなという感じもします。

Joining the tour that efficiently visits the three islands was definitely the right choice. The boat to Iriomote Island was quite rocky, so it might be a good idea to bring motion sickness medication. I chose the rental bicycle plan, and since I could choose the return boat, I was able to explore the island at a leisurely pace without worrying about time.

効率よく3島を周れるツアーで参加して大正解でした。
西表島に向かう船はかなり揺れたので酔い止め持参で行った方が良いかもしれません。
レンタサイクルプランを選びましたが、帰りの船が選べたので、時間を気にせずゆっくり島内を周ることができました。

As a person who doesn't drive, I found the bus tour to be very helpful and enjoyable. The fact that the guide provides information through headphones is also great. I think if we had a bit more time at American Village, we could have had dinner there.

ペーパードライバーなのでバスツアーがあると大変助かり、楽しめました。
イヤホンでガイドしてくれるのもとても良いです。
アメリカンヴィレッジでもう少し時間があると夕食がとれるかなぁーと思います。

I visited Ishigaki and Iriomote Island. At first, I thought it would be impossible to cover this in one day. It was a tour packed with highlights. It was great that we could choose the return ferry time from Taketomi Island to Ishigaki. We were blessed with wonderful weather, which made it perfect.

初石垣〜西表島でした。初めではこの内容を1日で回るのは無理でしょう。いいとこ取りがギッシリ詰まった内容の濃いツアーでした。帰りの竹富島〜石垣の船の時間が選べるのでよかったです。お天気に恵まれて最高でした。

I have participated in this course several times because it's my favorite. You can enjoy a stroll at Ida Beach, a jungle cruise, a glass-bottom boat tour, and a simple local cuisine lunch. The weather at Ida Beach on that day was perfect, and the scenery was wonderful. We were able to leisurely stroll along the quiet beach, almost having it to ourselves. Unfortunately... According to the guide, this tour will end at the end of March. This is the only tour that includes Ida Beach, so please find a way to continue it!

このコースはお気に入りで何回か参加しています。
イダの浜散策、ジャングルクルーズ、グラスボートの観光と素朴な地元料理の昼食で楽しめます。
この日の「イダの浜」は天気も最高で素晴らしい景色でした。
そしてほぼ貸切状態で静かなビーチをのんびりと散策ができました。
残念なのは．．．
ガイドさんによるとこのツアーは３月いっぱいで終了してしまうそうです。
このツアーが唯一「イダの浜」を含んだツアーなのでなんとか継続してください！！

It was a packed day full of activities, and I had a great time. The only disappointing part was the lunch. Honestly, it wasn't tasty. I would have appreciated at least being able to have a warm bento.

盛り沢山の内容で、１日楽しめました。
唯一、残念だったのはランチです。
正直、おいしくありませんでした。せめてあったかいお弁当を食べれるとありがたいです。

It was a family trip at the end of February. The weather was cloudy and windy, so it was cold, but I was satisfied with the experience. When crossing to Yufu Island by water buffalo, we could also hear the sanshin, which created a wonderful atmosphere. It was nice to see the change in the water surface on the way there and back. Since it was a tour of the islands, there wasn't much time to look at souvenirs, but it became a great memory. The travel agency's arrangements were smooth and well done.

2月末の家族旅行でした。天候は曇りで風もあったため寒かったですが、内容は満足です。
由布島に水牛で渡るときは三線も聞けて雰囲気は最高でした。また行きと帰りで水面が変わるのも良かったです。三島巡りなのでお土産など見る時間はあまりなかったですが、いい思い出になりました。
旅行会社さんの段取りもスムーズで良かったです

The cute water buffalo, the brother's performance and singing, and the Okinawan streets were all amazing! (*^_^*) The area is spacious enough to explore comfortably by rental bike, allowing us to enjoy the beach, shops, and meals. It became a wonderful travel memory! (^o^)

かわいい水牛と、お兄さんの演奏・歌声や、沖縄らしい街並みが最高でした(*^_^*)
レンタサイクルで十分回れる広さなので、ビーチやお店、食事も楽しめました。
とても良い旅行の思い出となりました(^o^)

Overall, it was a very satisfying tour. The only downside was that the mangrove cruise in Iriomote Island was unfortunately rainy. However, I heard that there are hardly any sunny days in Iriomote Island during this season, so I suppose it couldn't be helped.

全体的に大満足のツアーでした。残念だったのは、西表島のマングローブクルーズがあいにくの雨だったこと。ただ、この時期の西表島は晴れの日がほとんど無いとの話でしたので、やむを得ないのかと思いました。

As the title suggests, I think the content of the tour is good. However, most of the bus travel was without a guide, which was incredibly boring.

タイトルの通りですがツアーの内容は良いと思います。
ですがバス移動の大半にガイドがなく死ぬほど退屈でした。

Most of the people around were foreigners, but they were all very kind and we took pictures of each other. There were so many places to go, and for this price, it turned out to be a really great trip!

周りの人は外国人の人ばっかりでしたが、写真撮り合いっこしてもらったりすごく優しい方ばかりでした
行けるところもたくさんあってこの値段だったのですごく良い旅行になりました！！

Overall, it was a leisurely tour that I thoroughly enjoyed. At Cape Hedo, despite the strong winds, you can see the sheer cliffs. The power spot, Daishi Forest Mountain, is not often visited by others outside of this tour, allowing for a relaxing hiking experience. For lunch, we had a leisurely meal at Okuma Resort and took a short break on the white sandy beach. Then we continued to Churaumi and shopping. We were making good progress to the last spot, and after an announcement that we would arrive in Naha in 90 minutes, we got caught in traffic in Nago and arrived 60 minutes late (even though the detour was not congested...). On other tours, they ask about your plans after the tour and emphasize punctuality, but on this tour, they didn't ask, and we took a solid 10-minute bathroom break after the traffic, which was a bit nerve-wracking. Fortunately, our flight at 9 PM was delayed by 20 minutes, so we just barely made it.

全般的に時間のゆったりとしたツアーで満喫できました。辺戸岬は強風ですが、断崖絶壁を見れます。パワースポット大石林山は、本ツアー以外の人はあまり見かけず、ゆっくりハイキングを楽しめます。昼はオクマリゾートで、ゆったりと食事と白い砂浜で小休憩。美ら海、買い物と続きます。最後のスポットまでは順調に進み９０分で那覇ですとのアナウンス後、名護の渋滞にど真ん中勝負で６０分遅れで到着（迂回路は渋滞していないのに、、）。他のツアーですと、ツアー後の予定を聞かれ時間厳守ですと念を押されますが、本ツアーは、聞かれもせず、渋滞後のトイレ休憩も１０分しっかりと取り、ヒヤヒヤの展開でした。２１時の飛行機が幸いにも２０分遅れたため、ギリギリのギリギリで間に合いました

I had enough time and was able to experience everything smoothly, and for the three-island tour, I was able to spend a sufficient amount of time.

時間的にも余裕があり、スムーズに体験するすることもできましたし、３島めぐりとしては、十分な時間を過ごすことができました。

I used this service to travel from Onna Village to Naha. They take care of large luggage in the trunk, so there was no need to worry about my bags.

On the bus, there were two guides who provided commentary through the windows and even sang Ryukyu folk songs (live performance!). It was a very enjoyable experience that you can't have when driving your own car...!

At the Churaumi Aquarium, the schedule was arranged so that we could see both the dolphin show and the feeding of the whale sharks, which are the highlights. Both were incredibly impressive, and I truly felt it was worth coming.

恩納村から那覇への移動も兼ねて利用しました。大きな荷物はトランクで預かってくれるので、荷物の心配は不要でした。

バス車内ではガイドさんが2人乗車し、車窓解説をしたり、琉球民謡を歌ったり（生歌です！）してくださって、とても楽しく過ごせました。自家用車ではこんな体験できないですよ…！

美ら海水族館では見どころであるイルカショーおよびジンベエザメの餌やりの両方が見れるようにスケジュールが組まれていました。
どちらも大迫力で、来てよかったと心から思えました。
