Ishigaki/Yaeyama
It was quite a speedy sightseeing bus tour, but the guide's sanshin playing and singing, along with the commentary, made the trip a wonderful memory. Thank you very much. I thought it was a bit pricey for about four hours, but I recommend the tour by To Transport.
かなりスピーディーな観光バスツアーでしたが、ガイドさんの三線と歌、案内が旅を最高の思い出にしてくれました。
ありがとうございました。
約四時間で少しお高いかなと思いましたが、東運輸さんのツアーはお勧めです。
I absolutely wanted to experience the water buffalo cart on my first visit to Taketomi Island! It was raining, but I didn't mind at all because the red brick houses and the water buffalo provided the best healing experience! The explanations from the staff and the folk songs were also wonderful. I definitely want to experience it again when I come back. I rented a bicycle and went to Nishi-Sanbashi and Kondoi Beach. I was first impressed by Nishi-Sanbashi, and then when I arrived at Kondoi Beach, I was amazed to see some clear skies, making it feel like a paradise. I didn't have enough time to go to Kaiji Beach, so I definitely want to go next time!
初めての竹富島で絶対に体験したかった水牛車♪雨が降ってましたが全然気にならないほど赤煉瓦の家並みや水牛くん達が最高の癒しをくれました!担当の方の説明や民謡も素晴らしかったです♡また、来れた時には絶対に体験したいです。自転車を借りて西桟橋とコンドイビーチに行きました。まず西桟橋に感動して次にコンドイビーチに着いたら晴れ間も見えて天国のようなビーチに感動しっぱなしでした。時間がなくてカイジ浜にいけなかったので次回絶対に行きたいです!
I think it's a tour that should be experienced even if it rains. The hardworking water buffaloes are really cute!
雨が降っても体験するべきツアーだと思います。健気に頑張る水牛くん達が本当に可愛いです!
Depending on the mood of the cow, the ride can feel long or surprisingly short, allowing you to sense its personality. The explanations from the accompanying guide were also interesting, and I was able to have a very pleasant time.
牛の気分次第で長く乗れたり、以外に短く感じたり個性を感じられます。同乗のガイドさんの解説も面白くとても気持ちいい時間を過ごすことができました。
I would like you to choose this for those who want to experience a charming and leisurely time.
風情あるゆっくりを体験したい人に選んでほしいです。
I think the sightseeing was good even though the weather wasn't very nice. Unfortunately, the lunch was not good. To be honest, it was disappointing.
観光は天気があまり良くない中でもよかったと思います。残念なのは昼飯。はっきり言って美味しくなかった。正直に残念です。
If possible, I'd like Yaeyama soba.
出来れば八重山そばで。
The taxi driver was friendly, which was great. This time, since I went by cruise ship, I was able to enjoy some drinks at lunch, which was nice. When I go again, I look forward to your assistance.
タクシーの運転手さんも気さくな方で良かったです。今回はクルーズ船で行ったので、お昼にお酒も飲めたので良かったです。また、行く時は、宜しくお願いします。
On Yubu Island, the relaxed demeanor of the water buffalo is truly soothing. The staff were kind and interacted with them in a way that brought out their enthusiasm, which was lovely to see. I was moved by the beauty of nature when I saw the golden chrysalis of the Papilio butterfly in the butterfly garden! The mangrove cruise allows the boat to get quite close, providing a rare view that you can't see in Honshu. Although the tour starts early, you can enjoy a full day of activities, making it very fulfilling.
由布島では水牛たちののんびり感には癒されます。スタッフの方もやさしく彼らのやる気を引き出すように語りかけながら操作されている姿も良かった。蝶々園のオオゴマダラの黄金の蛹には自然の素晴らしさに感動!マングローブ遊覧はかなり近くまで船を近づけてくれます。当たり前ですが本州では見ることのできない貴重な景色です。ツアー開始時間は早いですが1日十分楽しめますので充実します。
Taketomi Island will have free time. I think it would be better to think in advance about how to enjoy it so that you can make the most of your time.
竹富島はフリータイムになります。事前にどのように楽しむか考えておいた方がより無駄なく楽しめると思います。
I was able to make a reservation here until the morning of the day, so I went ahead and booked it. Perhaps due to the rain, there were only two participants, including myself, so we could enjoy nature at our own pace. The instructor was very kind and shared a lot of information about nature. It was a wonderful experience! Also, it was great that there were clean restrooms, changing rooms, and a place to store our belongings.
当日の朝まで予約可能なのがこちらだったので予約させていただきました。
雨の影響もあってか参加者は自分含めて2人だけだったので、自分たちのペースでゆったりと自然を楽しむことができました。インストラクターの方もとても親切で、たくさん自然についてお話してくれました。とても良い体験ができました!
あときれいなトイレ、更衣室、荷物置き場が完備されているのも良かったです。
It seems that there are some very strict instructors. If you're worried, I recommend checking in advance.
とても厳しいインストラクターの方もいるようです。心配な方は事前確認されるのをおすすめします。
In a short amount of time, I was able to efficiently tour the islands, seeing various sights such as the Iriomote Mangrove Cruise, the water buffalo cart in Yufu, and the star sand beach in Taketomi through a bus tour. The buffet lunch was also great. I was back at the ferry terminal by 3:30 PM, which allowed me to take a bus to the Tamatorizaki Observatory. Thank you very much.
短時間で西表マングローブクルーズや由布の水牛者、竹富ではバス観光で星の砂浜等といろいろと見ることが出来る効率の良い島めぐりでした。お昼もビュッフェで良かったです。15時30分には離島ターミナルに戻れたので路線バスで玉取崎展望台に行くことができました。ありがとうございました。
I think it would be good to have some measures in place since it seems like I got bitten by insects on Yufuin Island.
由布島で虫に刺されたみたいなので何か対策があってもいいと思いました。
I considered sightseeing without a rental car, but since transportation options were limited, I decided to join a tour. It allows you to explore Mishima very efficiently. The stories from the guide and locals are also interesting. The cows do their part moderately well. I think the relaxed atmosphere is largely thanks to the cows moving at their own pace. Thank you, cows.
レンタカーなしの観光を考えたが交通手段の融通が利かないのでツアーに参加。
三島を非常に効率よく回れる。ガイドや現地の人の話も面白い。牛もほどほどに頑張ってくれる。
ゆったり気分に浸れるのは概ねマイペースに進む牛のおかげだと思う。ありがとう牛。
Lunch at Yufuin Island is served buffet style, but if you take too much of the main dish at first, it can be quite difficult later. The shops on Taketomi Island may not be open even if they appear to
由布島での昼食はバイキング形式だが、最初に主食を取り過ぎると後が大変。
武富島のお店はGoogleマップで営業中でもやっていない場合がある。
I was researching places I wanted to visit, and they were all included in the tour, so I decided to participate. If you want to enjoy Ishigaki Island in one day, I highly recommend this tour. With this tour and sightseeing around the bus terminal, you can cover most of what you need. The guide's stories were also interesting.
行きたい場所を調べていたら全部ツアーに含まれていたので参加。
石垣島を一日で楽しみたいなら非常にお勧め。このツアーとバスターミナル付近の観光で大体事足りる。
ガイドさんの話も面白かった。
The limestone cave can be quite humid, so it might be a good idea to bring a towel. The glass-bottom boat ride depends on the weather, but it's very enjoyable once you get on.
鍾乳洞は割と蒸すのでタオルを持っていくとよいかもしれない。
グラスボートは天候次第だが乗ると非常に楽しい。
The guide smiled and said, "Even without stars, the sky is beautiful," and those words were the brightest light. Their kindness spread out like the night sky.
ガイドさんが「星がなくても空は美しいんですよ」と微笑んでくれて、その言葉が一番の光だった。優しさが夜空みたいに広がってた。
I can't forget the brilliance of the Blue Cave! The guide's instructions were perfect, and I was able to enjoy the cave without getting lost. The photo data is also amazing, and I've been looking back at them many times!
青の洞窟の輝きが忘れられない!
ガイドさんの案内が完璧で、迷うことなく洞窟の中を楽しめた。写真データも最高で、何度も見返してる!
It was a night that felt like stars were falling! The moment I looked up at the sky, countless stars sparkled all at once, and I was truly moved. The guide pointed out the constellations with a laser, and when he said, "This is Leo!" I couldn't contain my excitement!
星が降ってくるみたいな夜だった! 空を見上げた瞬間、無数の星が一斉にきらめいて本当に感動。ガイドさんが星座をレーザーで指しながら教えてくれて、「ここがしし座です!」って声のトーンにワクワクが止まらなかった!
The colors of the Blue Cave looked gentle! The guide smiled and said, "Today, the blue has a soft feeling, which is nice," and that expression was just perfect. It was a time that brought peace to my heart.
青の洞窟の色が優しく見えた! ガイドさんが「今日は青がやわらかい感じでいいですよ」と笑ってくれて、その表現がぴったり。心が穏やかになる時間だった。
The bus driver's stories on Iriomote Island were very enjoyable and memorable. I felt a bit sorry for the water buffalo, as its lack of motivation was evident in its walking style, but I was grateful for the leisurely time I got to spend with Genki the water buffalo! On the way back, it was a girl instead of Genki, but the ride was very smooth, and we arrived first.
I enjoyed cycling on Taketomi Island, but there were some gentle slopes, and perhaps due to my age, it was more challenging than I expected.
西表島のバスの運転手さんのお話がとても楽しくて、印象的です。
水牛さんのやる気のなさが歩き方で伝わってきて、申し訳ないと思いつつも、のんびりした時間を過ごさせてもらえて、水牛のげんきくんに感謝です!帰りはげんきくんではなく女の子でしたが、とてもスムーズで1番に到着しました。
竹富島でサイクリングを楽しみましたが、軽い坂道もあり、歳のせいか思ったより大変でした。
The guide's witty commentary helped me avoid car sickness, and I was truly impressed by their wealth of knowledge. Thank you very much!
ガイドさんの軽妙なガイドぶりに車酔いで無くて良い良いしれました、知識豊富には脱帽です、ありがとうございました。
If you have some free time, this two-island tour of Iriomote Island and Yufu Island is a great way to enjoy a relaxed island atmosphere. You can sway gently in a leisurely water buffalo cart, stroll through the botanical garden on Yufu Island, and enjoy a peaceful mangrove cruise. You can return to the hotel by 3 PM, which is nice for elderly couples, as it allows time to take a shower and rest a bit before dinner.
時間に余裕があれば、この西表島と由布島の2島ツアーはゆったりとした島時間を楽しむのにいいです。のんびりした水牛車に揺られて、由布島でぶらぶら植物園を散策し、そしてマングローブ遊覧はのどかです。ホテルに15時には戻れるので年寄り夫婦には、晩御飯前にシャワー浴びて、少し休憩できるのもいいです。
Ishigaki Island is best enjoyed by taking your time and not cramming too much into your schedule.
石垣島はあれこれ詰め込みすぎず、のんびりとした時間を楽しむのがいいです。
I was able to tour the streets of Taketomi Island while riding a water buffalo. The local guide was friendly and provided explanations about the town along the way, as well as performed a shamisen song. I recommend this experience for those who want to fully enjoy the atmosphere of Taketomi Island.
水牛に乗って竹富島の街並みを観光することができました。
現地のガイドさんも気さくな人で途中で街並みの解説や三味線の弾き語りをしてくれました。
竹富島の雰囲気を満喫したい人におすすめです。
I was moved to actually see and experience the scenery I had seen in books and encyclopedias as a child. I truly realized that you can't understand the air and scents unless you visit. The exploration of Taketomi Island, which I didn't know much about, was very impressive. Walking along the white sandy paths allowed me to immerse myself in nostalgia. Even though it had an exotic atmosphere, it gave me a strange feeling.
子供のころに本や図鑑で見た景色を実際に見て体験できたことに感動しました。
空気や匂いなど、足を運ばなければわかないとつくづく思います。
あまり、知らなかった竹富島の散策はとても印象的で、白い砂の路を歩くとノスタルジアに浸れます。異国情緒なのに不思議な気持ちになりました。
Don't rush; you should schedule your time with enough gaps. Just walk.
せかせかせずに、間が空くくらいでスケジュールを立てるべし。
歩くこと。
I came to Ishigaki Island for the second time in 30 years! The weather wasn't great, but I rode in an ox cart and felt rejuvenated! I was really moved by the quietly pulling oxen!
30年ぶりに2回目の石垣島に来ました!
天候は良くなかったですが、牛車に乗って、
癒されました!とても寡黙に引っ張る牛さんに感動しました!
Late November can feel a bit chilly, but I think a light jacket should be sufficient.
11月下旬は少し肌寒い感じですが、薄い上着があれば大丈夫だとは思います。
The guide was polite and kind! They told us, "On days when the light is soft, you can take beautiful photos," and the timing for the shots was perfect. A cloudy day became something special!
ガイドさんが丁寧で優しかった!「光が柔らかい日は写真がきれいに撮れますよ」と教えてくれて、撮影タイミングも完璧。曇りの日が特別になった!
"The sky has a different expression with each season," was a striking phrase that made me feel the depth of nature. Even when it's cloudy, the attitude of looking up at the sky without giving up is wonderful and warmed my heart.
「この空、季節ごとに表情が違うんですよ」って言葉が印象的で、自然の奥深さを感じた。曇ってても諦めずに空を見上げる姿勢が素敵で、心が温まった。
It was a bit chilly, so it's good to have an extra layer during this time of year!
肌寒かったので、この時期は一枚羽織るものがあると良いです!
Even under the cloudy sky, the atmosphere was enchanting. There were few stars, but the illuminated plants and the refreshing night air were impressive. The guide's explanations were thorough and enjoyable.
曇り空の中でも幻想的な雰囲気だった 星は少なかったけど、ライトアップされた植物や夜の空気の清涼感が印象的だった。ガイドさんの説明が丁寧で楽しかった。
It was my first time exploring the Blue Cave, and the guide was very kind and made me feel at ease while enjoying the experience. The water clarity was outstanding, and I was thrilled to swim with colorful fish while snorkeling!
初めての青の洞窟探検でしたが、ガイドさんが親切に案内してくれて安心して楽しめました。海の透明度が抜群で、シュノーケリングではカラフルな魚たちと泳げて感動しました!
I had a great time walking through the jungle and looking for various animals! It was quite difficult to find the coconut crab, but our guide, Hina, was able to spot one for us, so we got to meet the coconut crab as well. Thank you for the valuable experience! 😊
ジャングルの中を歩いていろいろな動物を探すことが楽しかったです!
なかなかヤシガニが見つからなかったのですがガイドのひなさんが見つけてくださったのでヤシガニにも出会うことが出来ました☺️
貴重な体験ありがとうございました!
It's better to participate in long sleeves and long pants!
長袖長ズボンで参加した方がいいです!
Due to the impact of the typhoon, it was a day with on-and-off rain. I was able to enjoy my long-awaited visit to Iriomote Island and Yufu Island, but it was disappointing that I couldn't go cycling on Taketomi Island because of the rain. I think it would be great if there were options to switch to bus tours or discounts at restaurants for rainy days, allowing for enjoyable plans even when it rains. The tours offered by Beltora are very appealing, and I always make use of them. I'm looking forward to future experiences!
台風の影響もあり 雨も降ったり止んだりの1日でした。念願の西表島 由布島は楽しめましたが、竹富島では雨でサイクリングもする事ができず残念でした。雨の場合はバスツアーに変更や飲食店の割引きなど、雨の日でも楽しめるプランへ変更できるコースがあるといいと思います。ベルトラさんのツアーはとても魅力的なツアーが多くいつも利用させて頂いてます。今後も楽しみにしています。
Although the weather wasn't very good, I was very satisfied that we were able to follow the planned itinerary without any issues. I also enjoyed the beauty of nature, and we were able to visit three islands in one day. The guides on the bus and the sightseeing boat were also very good.
お天気はあまり良くなかったものの、全て予定通りの行程をこなすことができて大満足でした。自然の素晴らしさも満喫できましたし、1日で3島も回ることができ、バスや遊覧船の方のガイドもとても良かったです。
Unfortunately, due to the thick clouds after the typhoon, we couldn't see the starry sky, but we were able to spot many wild creatures. Although I couldn't capture them in photos, I saw an eel, a purple crab, a striped snake, and a long-legged spider. There were some difficult spots where we had to climb, but it reminded me of my childhood and was a lot of fun.
あいにく台風後で雲が厚く星空は見れませんでしたが、たくさんの野生の生き物を写真には残せませんでしたが、オオウナギ、ムラサキガニ、シマヘビ、アシナガグモなどが見れました。途中、よじ登る感じの足場の悪い所がありましたが、子供の頃を思い出して楽しかったです。
I thought it would be canceled due to the typhoon, but I was super lucky that it was canceled the day before. I'm really glad it went ahead. The content was great, and I felt reassured!
台風の影響で中止になるかと思ってましたが、超ラッキーで前日は中止でしたが、
催行されて本当によかったです。
内容も良くて安心しました!
I would like to advise you in advance that the weather can be unpredictable.
天候に左右される事を事前にアドバイスしたいと思います。
It was the best adventure experience for both children and adults! We were able to see coconut crabs, and it was a great experience to fully feel the nature of Ishigaki. Even small children could participate safely. Thank you very much!
子どもたちにとっても、大人にとっても最高の冒険体験になりました!
ヤシガニを見ることができたし、石垣の自然を全身で感じることができてとても良い経験でした。
小さい子供でも安心して参加できました。ありがとうございました!
