All Reviews for Top Okinawa Attractions

I participated in the long-awaited Blue Cave tour! Luckily, I was able to swim with sea turtles, which became a lifelong memory. The blueness of the cave was stunning, and colorful tropical fish swam right in front of me, making it feel like a natural aquarium. It was the best experience, and I am very satisfied!

念願の青の洞窟ツアーに参加しました！運良くウミガメと一緒に泳ぐことができて、一生の思い出になりました。洞窟の青さもさることながら、カラフルな熱帯魚が目の前をたくさん泳いでいて、まるで天然の水族館のよう。最高の体験ができて大満足です！

This was my first time participating, and I felt truly cared for from start to finish, which allowed me to enjoy the experience with peace of mind. I learned a lot about the ocean, making it a special experience that was more than just swimming. They took many photos and videos, creating memories that will last a lifetime. I definitely want to participate again!

初めて参加しましたが、最初から最後まで本当に丁寧に対応していただき安心して楽しめました。海の知識もたくさん教えてもらえて、ただ泳ぐだけじゃない特別な体験になりました。写真や動画もたくさん撮っていただき、一生の思い出です。また絶対参加したいです！

Swimming with colorful fish in the transparent sea was more moving than I could have imagined, and it was the best time to completely forget about my daily life and truly refresh myself.

透明な海の中で色とりどりの魚と一緒に泳ぐ体験は想像以上に感動的で、日常を忘れて心からリフレッシュできた最高の時間だった。

Even without a car, you can visit the highlights of Ishigaki and make a complete loop. Also, being dropped off at Ishigaki Airport made it very efficient in terms of time.

車か無くても石垣の見どころを見学し1周できます
又、石垣空港で下ろして頂けるので時間の効率が良かったです

The bus driver seemed a bit irritable, which was a little concerning for someone using the service for the first time.

バスの運転手さんの虫の居所が悪かったのかぶ然としていたので、初めて利用する者としてはちょっと気になった。

The snorkeling at the Blue Cave was canceled due to bad weather the day before, and they suggested snorkeling at a different spot. I was a bit anxious about swimming, but our guide, Yutty, was very attentive and guided us well. My goggles kept slipping, and I apologize for the trouble, but he adjusted them for me while I was swimming, allowing me to fully enjoy the beautiful sea✨.

In mid-April, I participated without a wetsuit, and at first, I was surprised by the coldness of the water, but as I swam, I hardly felt the cold at all. I was also able to see two sea turtles swimming together, which made for a truly wonderful experience🐢.

前日に青の洞窟のシュノーケリングは天候不良の為中止とのご連絡があり、別のスポットでのシュノーケリングを提案していただきました。泳ぎに不安がありましたが、担当ガイドのゆってぃさんは丁寧にガイドしてくださいました。ゴーグルが何度もズレてしまい、ご迷惑をおかけしてしまいましたが、泳いでる最中に調整してくださり、綺麗な海を堪能できました✨
4月中旬にウェットスーツ着用なしでの参加で、初めは海の冷たさに驚きましたが、泳いでいるうちに冷たさは殆ど感じませんでした
ウミガメも二匹一緒に泳いでいる姿を見ることができ、とても素敵な体験をすることができました🐢

The lunch included is rich in content for the price. The guide's explanations were also easy to understand. This is my third time in Ishigaki Island, but since I had been moving around by rental car before, listening to the guide's stories while touring offered a different charm.

The sanshin performance during the bus ride was challenging, but both the performance and the songs in the local dialect were very well done, and above all, the voice was beautiful 🎤👧🏼.

The glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay is an additional fee for those who wish to go, but it's cheaper than the general price with the bus tour discount. Last time I visited, I couldn't see any sea turtles, but this time I was thrilled to see many of them ✨.

値段の割に昼食付きで内容も豊富。ガイドさんの説明も分かりやすくかったです。
石垣島は3回目ですが、今まではレンタカーで移動してたので、ガイドさんの話を聞いて巡るのは違った魅力を感じました。
バスの揺れの中での三線演奏、大変そうですが、演奏も方言での歌もとても上手で、何より声が美しかった🎤👧🏼
川平湾のグラスボートは希望者のみ別料金ですが、バス観光割で一般料金より安いです。
前回行った時は海がめは見れなかったのですが、今回はたくさん見れて感激しました✨

The weather was nice, and in the morning, we leisurely paddled through the mangroves in a canoe, experiencing something out of the ordinary! In the afternoon, we went snorkeling, where the coral spread across the entire sea, and there were many tropical fish swimming around, which was very beautiful. I did feel unwell for a bit, but the staff responded promptly and kindly, which was a great help.

お天気がよく、午前中はマングローブの中をカヌーでゆったりと進み、非日常を味わうことができました！
午後はシュノーケリングで、珊瑚が海一面に広がり、南国の魚がたくさん泳いでいてとても綺麗でした。途中体調不良になってしまいましたが、スタッフの方が丁寧かつ迅速に対応していただき助かりました。

It will be more economical than purchasing a regular ticket. You can ride all routes on the island, so on holidays, take the island loop line (available in both east and west directions) and enjoy the scenery.

However, this does not include the regular sightseeing bus.

定期券購入より、お得になります。
島内全路線乗れますので、休日には、
島内一周線（東、西回りあり）乗って
景色堪能。

だだし定期観光バスは、除きます。

I was able to purchase this ticket at a discount using points and coupons. I think it's worth it just for the round trip between the airport and the city.

ポイントとクーポンで安くこのチケットを購入出来ました。空港と市内を往復するだけでも充分、元が取れると思います。

On the day of our return, we initially had a rental car reserved, but we found out that the meeting point for the regular sightseeing bus was near the hotel we were staying at, and that we could get off at the airport along the way, so we canceled the rental car. We were able to visit places we couldn't go to during the trip, like Kabira Bay and Tamatorizaki Observatory, through the bus tour, which allowed us to efficiently explore on the last day, and it was a lot of fun.

　帰る日に当初はレンタカーを予約しておりましたが、宿泊予定していたホテル近くが定期観光バスの集合場所で、空港で途中下車できる事がわかり、レンタカーはキャンセルしました。
　旅行中に行けなかった川平湾や玉取崎展望台にもバスツアーで行け、最終日に効率よく廻れ、楽しかったです。

Ishigaki Island can be difficult to catch a taxi. For those with plenty of time, using the bus is recommended.

Round trip from the city to the airport is 1,120 yen.

Using the Kabira, Ibaruma, Hirakubo lines, and the island loop line offers good cost performance.

There are also discounts for riding the Anei Kanko Ferry.

石垣島は、タクシーがつかまりにくいです。ゆっくり時間がある方には、バス利用がおすすめです。

市内〜空港往復　1120円
川平、伊原間、平久保線、島内一周線を
利用したらコスパ良い。

安栄観光フェリーの乗車割引もあります。

Typically, the Chikusa Free Pass can only be purchased with cash during the ride or at the bus terminal. However, by going through Veltra, credit card payment is possible. You can also earn points with the credit card company.

Additionally, the children's fare will be 1,000 yen.

通常、パスの乗車中または、パスターミナルでのみちくさフリーパスは、現金のみで

あと子ども料金が1,000円になります。

We were able to take our time at each highlight and explore at a relaxed pace. We also enjoyed a delicious lunch. The guide's performance on the sanshin was a live rendition, which was powerful and left a strong impression.

それぞれの見どころでの見学の時間もゆったりと取っていただき落ち着いて回ることができました。お昼ご飯も美味しく頂きました。ガイドさんの三線は、いわゆる生の演奏なので、迫力もありとても印象に残りました。

The flow was easy to understand, and I was able to act calmly both in the cave and in the sea. I was surprised by the abundance of fish, and my anticipation for seeing sea turtles grew.

流れが分かりやすく、洞窟でも海でも落ち着いて行動できました。魚の多さに驚き、ウミガメへの期待も高まりました。

I was able to travel very reasonably! I'm grateful for the infrastructure!! (*^_^*) All the drivers were kind and accommodating.

とてもリーズナブルに移動できました！
インフラに感謝です！！(*^_^*)
どのドライバーさんも優しく対応してくださいました。

For tourists with time, traveling by bus is a good option.

The reason is that it's hard to catch a taxi in Ishigaki Island.

Using a 5-day free pass is cost-effective. It's 1,120 yen for a round trip from the city to the airport.

時間がある観光客の方は、バスでの移動が良い。

理由、石垣島は、タクシーがつかまりにくい。

5日間フリーパス利用でコスパ良い。
市内〜空港往復で1,120円だから。

This time, I purchased and printed the tickets at home in advance. Although it says you can just show the screen, I felt it would be better to hand the printed tickets to the driver, based on my experience last time.

Even though it says you can use it for 24 hours from the start, I wondered how to manage the time, but it turns out that the exchanged free pass has the date and time printed on it.

Since I don't have a car, it was convenient to use it for my usual shopping when going out alone.

It feels a bit cumbersome to take the free pass in and out of my wallet when getting on and off, so I'm thinking of finding a more convenient method by the next time I ride.

今回は予め自宅で購入し、印刷したものを持って行きました。画面を見せればいいと書いてあるものの、運転手さんには印刷したものをお渡しした方が分かりいいかと、前回感じたからです。

利用開始から24時間使えると言っても、どうやって時間管理するのかと思ったら、交換したフリーパスに月日と時間が入るということでした。

車を持っていないので、1人で出かけるには、普段のお買い物に使えるのは便利でした。

乗り降りの時にフリーパスを財布から出し入れするのは面倒な感じがするので、次に乗るときまでに何か便利な方法を考えようかと思います。

I was able to enjoy Ishigaki Island even without a car. I was able to go to all the places I wanted to, and 2000 yen for five days is a great deal. I recommend it for those who want to go to distant places.

車なしでも石垣島楽しめました。
行きたいところ行けたし、
5日2000円はお得です。
遠いとこ行く方にはおすすめ

Generally, you can only purchase with cash, but at Veltra, you can buy with a credit card! Moreover, you can also use coupons, making it a great deal for purchasing passes. The tickets themselves are inexpensive, which is a big help for travel enthusiasts.

原則現金でしか買えませんが、ベルトラではクレジットカードで購入可能です！
しかもクーポンも利用出来て、お得にパスを購入できます。
チケット自体が安いので、旅好きには助かります。

I received polite advice at SUP and had a fun experience. Although we couldn't go to the Blue Cave for snorkeling, the weather was nice, and I got to see sea turtles, which made for a delightful time.

ＳＵＰでは丁寧にアドバイスをいただき、楽しく体験できました。
シュノーケリングは青の洞窟には行けませんでしたが、お天気も良く、ウミガメにも会えて楽しい時間を過ごさせていただきました。

Although the number of routes is limited, there are options to go around the island and to Hirakubo Cape. Just going from Ishigaki city to Hirakubo Cape was worth it. The free pass exchange voucher can be purchased on the day, so it's best to buy it a little before you plan to use it.

本数は少ないですが、島一周線や平久保崎へ行くルートがあります。
石垣市街地から平久保崎まで行くだけで元が取れました。
フリーパスの引換券は当日購入可なので、利用の少し前に購入するのが良いでしょう。

Due to the weather and the number of participants, we switched from SUP + snorkeling at Cape Kawaiwa to mangrove SUP. Honestly, I was a bit disappointed at first, but it turned out to be incredibly fun!

Akiyama, our guide, kept the atmosphere lively and engaged with us, which allowed us to relax and enjoy the experience throughout✨. Thanks to that, I was able to naturally converse with other guests, and the overall vibe of the tour was really great! The time spent leisurely moving through the mangroves was also very pleasant, and it turned out to be a fantastic experience in its own right🌿. Although the plan changed, it became a wonderful memory! Thank you so much😊.

天候と催行人数の関係で、川平湾でのSUP＋青の洞窟シュノーケリングからマングローブSUPに変更になりました。
正直ちょっと残念だなーと思っていたのですが、結果めちゃくちゃ楽しかったです！

担当してくださった秋山さんがずっと明るく話しかけてくださって、場を盛り上げてくれたおかげで終始リラックスして楽しめました✨
そのおかげで他のお客さんとも自然に会話ができて、ツアー全体がすごくいい雰囲気だったのも印象的でした！
マングローブの中をゆったり進む時間もすごく気持ちよくて、これはこれで大当たりでした🌿
変更になったけど、むしろ良い思い出になりました！ありがとうございました😊

I realized this time that it costs over 1,000 yen one way just to go from my home to the city, so I should use this for regular trips. Without knowing this, I used a touch payment for the outbound trip and took advantage of the one-day free pass for the return. From next time, I want to make sure to use it for the outbound trip as well.

自宅から街中へ行くだけで片道千円以上かかるので、普段使いで使うべきということが今回分かりました。そうと知らずに片道はタッチ決済で乗ってしまい、帰りはこの1日フリーパスを利用しました。次回からは行きの時点で使うようにしたいと思います。

The weather was nice, and our guide was very cheerful and fun. Every moment from the talks inside the tour until it ended was enjoyable! There are other tours available, and I'm looking forward to participating in those as well! Even those who can't swim are well taken care of, so anyone can join with peace of mind!

天気も良くて担当ガイドの方もすごく明るく楽しい社内の中のトークからツアーが終わるまでの全ての時間が楽しかったです！
また違うツアーがありますので、そちらの方も参加するのが楽しみです！
泳げない方でもしっかり対応してくださるので誰でも安心して参加できます！

We participated in Hina's tour as a family. There were small children with us, but we were taught very carefully. Everyone in the family was very satisfied. We would like to participate again.

ひなさんのツアーに家族で参加しました。
小さい子どももいましたが、とても丁寧に教えてもらいました。家族全員大満足でした。また参加したいです。

Finally got to try SUP at Kawahira Bay. The wind blowing down from the mountains was strong, making it difficult to maintain balance, but I was able to glide smoothly over the water. Even if I fell into the sea, I felt safe wearing a life jacket. The instructor was very attentive, so even beginners can give it a try!

*The photo is of the scenery at Kawahira Bay, which is different from the location where we did SUP.

念願の川平湾でのSUP。
山から吹き下ろす風が強く、バランスを取るのが大変でしたが、気持ち良く海の上を進むことができました。海に落ちてしまっても、ライフジャケットを着ているので安心です。
インストラクターが丁寧に教えてくれるので、初心者の方でもチャレンジできます！

※写真はSUPを実施する場所とは異なる川平湾の風景です。

With a guided experience that included singing and performances, we were able to spend a pleasant time. I think both first-timers and those returning for a second time will enjoy it.

ガイド付きで歌や演奏もあって、和やかに過ごすことができました。
初めての人も2回目以降の人も楽しめると思います。

To be honest, before going to Ishigaki Island, I was worried that not many people would use this pass and that I might feel confused about it, but there was no need to worry.

You could say that almost everyone, tourists included, was using it. It's a great convenience since you just need to show it to the driver without having to wave it around to get on and off.

This pass became an essential travel companion for me, a minor who couldn't rent a car!

If you keep it tucked behind your smartphone case, it saves you the hassle of taking it out, making it super convenient!

実際のところ、石垣島に行く前は、このパスを使う人があまりいなく、戸惑われたらどうしようかと心配もありましたが、心配はいりませんでした。

ほぼみんなと言っていいほど、観光客は利用していました。かざすこともなく、運転手さんに見せるだけで乗り降り出来る優れもの。

このパスは、レンタカーに乗れない未成年の私には欠かせない旅のお供となりました！

スマホケースの裏に挟んでおくと、取り出す手間も省けて楽！です！
