All Reviews for 沖繩活動

Although the bus service to the north is infrequent, it is available. However, since a one-way ticket costs 1,400 yen, a free pass is the best option.

バスで北部は本数は少ないながら、行けます。
しかし、片道1,400円とかするので、フリーパスが最強です。

I experienced mangrove kayaking and snorkeling in Ishigaki Island. While kayaking, I listened to the guide's thorough explanations as we navigated through the tranquil mangrove forest, surrounded by the sounds of nature, which was very soothing. I was able to observe plants and creatures that are not usually seen, feeling the unique charm of Ishigaki Island. During snorkeling, the clear sea was filled with colorful fish and coral, and it was a continuous series of breathtaking moments. There was support available to ensure even beginners could enjoy it safely, and they took photos for us, creating wonderful memories. I had a bit of trouble with water entering my nose, which made me anxious, so I held onto the guide's floating ring, but I still had a great time. This is an activity I highly recommend experiencing if you visit Ishigaki Island.

石垣島でマングローブカヤックとシュノーケリングを体験しました。カヤックでは、ガイドさんの丁寧な説明を聞きながら静かなマングローブ林を進み、自然の音に包まれてとても癒されました。普段なかなか見ることのできない植物や生き物も観察でき、石垣島ならではの魅力を感じられます。シュノーケリングでは、透明度の高い海に色とりどりの魚やサンゴが広がり、感動の連続でした。初心者でも安心して楽しめるようサポートがあり、写真も撮ってもらえて良い思い出になりました。私は鼻のところに水が浸入してきてしまうトラブルがあり不安だったので、ガイドさんの引っ張る浮き輪（？）につかまっていましたが、それでも充分に楽しめました。
石垣島を訪れるならぜひ体験してほしいアクティビティです。

I had long hoped to take a tour on a water buffalo cart. Not only was the scenery beautiful, but the driver and everyone else played the sanshin, making it a wonderful experience.

かねてから希望していた水牛車での観光。景色だけでなくドライバー？の方が皆さん三線を奏でてくれ、最高のひと時でした。

This year alone, I have purchased tickets 6.7 times. They are truly wonderful tickets. I look forward to your continued support next year as well.

今年だけでも6.7回、買わせて頂きました。本当に素晴らしいチケットです。来年もよろしくお願い致します。

Unfortunately, many shops were closed as they coincided with the sacred rituals on Taketomi Island, but I was able to see the festival at just the right time. Also, the bus driver who guided us around Iriomote Island was very entertaining with his explanations. The weather was unfortunately cloudy, but the boats were still operating, and I was able to fully enjoy the mangroves and other sights.

ちょうど、竹富島の神事と重なり、閉まっているお店が多くて、残念でしたが、タイミングよくお祭りを見ることが出来ました。
また、西表島をバスで案内して下さる運転手の方、せつめいが面白かったです。
天候も、あいにくの曇り空でしたが、船も運行し、マングローブなど満喫出来ました。

During the phone confirmation the day before, I was told that due to bad weather, we wouldn't be able to go to the Blue Cave and would instead be snorkeling at a different location. I really wanted to go to the Blue Cave, but I decided to switch my mindset and enjoy my first snorkeling experience at the age of 50. My friend also had their first snorkeling experience at 50 and couldn't swim! However, they managed to participate until the end by holding onto a float. It was my first time too, but I was able to swim and see a lot of fish. We even encountered a sea turtle, and I had a great time creating wonderful memories. I believe this was all thanks to our guide. Thank you very much!

前日の電話確認で、明日は青の洞窟へは天候不良な為行けませんと言われ別の場所でのシュノーケリングすることになりました。
青の洞窟には行きたかったですが、
せっかくなので、気持ちを切り替えて、50歳にして初のシュノーケリングを堪能してきました。
友達も50歳で初のシュノーケリングで泳げない！！でもフロートにつかまって最後まで参加出来ました。
私も初めてでしたが泳いでたくさんのお魚たちを見ることができました。
ウミガメさんにも遭遇し楽しく時間を過ごすことができ良い思い出作りができました。
これもガイドさんのおかげだと思っています。ありがとうございました。

The weather wasn't great, but it was still an enjoyable tour. We traveled between the islands, and even while on the vehicles, the guide shared stories about the islands. Since I usually rent a car, it was nice to learn these little tidbits. If the weather had been better, it would have been even more amazing.

天気が良くなかったのですが、それでも楽しめるツアーでした。
離島を転々とまわって、乗り物に乗っていてもガイドさんが島の話をしてくれます。
いつもレンタカーなので、こういうのも豆知識がしれて良かった
天気が良かったら、もっと最高だった

The weather was rainy and then cloudy, so the scenery was disappointing, but the staff were all kind and attentive. In particular, the staff member who guided us when we rode the cow on Taketomi Island provided clear explanations and was skilled at playing the sanshin and singing. It became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much.

天気は、雨のち曇りだったので景色は残念でしたが、スタッフの方は、皆さん親切丁寧でした。特に竹富島の牛に乗った際、案内して頂いたスタッフの方は、説明も分かりやすく三線も唄も上手でした。良い思い出になりました。有り難うございました。

I made a reservation for late November and traveled around Iriomote and Yufu Island. This was my first time visiting during this season, and I was a bit disappointed because the weather was not great. However, the water buffalo were so cute! I would love to visit again when the weather is nice.

11月後半に予約をし、西表、由布島を旅行で巡りました。今回この季節に行くのは、初めてで、ちょっと天気が、悪くてがっかりしました。でも水牛ちゃんが可愛いかったです。又季節、天気がいい時にもう一度巡りたいです。

It was cloudy, but the mystery was doubled! The guide said, "There is a beauty that is not affected by the weather," and that was truly the case. I could really feel the power of nature! I want to come back to Ishigaki Island again!

曇っていたけど神秘さ倍増でした！
ガイドさんが『天気に左右されない美しさがあるんです』と言ってくれて本当にその通りでした。
自然の力をすごく感じることができました！
また石垣島に来たいと思いました！

I thought it might be cold with a temperature of around 25°C, but when the sun was out, it felt warm, and while paddling on the SUP, it was actually quite hot! I was able to swim just fine while wearing a wetsuit for snorkeling! The guide was always attentive to our well-being, which made it easy to enjoy ourselves. 🤙 The sea and river weren't crowded at all, so we could move around freely and leisurely. I think coming here in winter could be a great option!

気温は25℃くらいで寒いかなと思いましたが、太陽が出ていると暖かく、SUPは漕いでいるとむしろ暑いくらいでした！シュノーケリングもウェットスーツを着用したら全然泳げました！
ガイドさんが常に体調を気にかけてくださるので安心して楽しめました🤙
海も川も混雑しておらず、のんびり自由に動けるので、あえて冬に来るのもありかなと思います。

On the day of the tour, the sea was rough, and we were unable to carry out the intended tour, but we were able to conduct an alternative tour. The staff's attitude during this situation was polite and commendable. I felt that I would like to use this tour guide again next time.

ツアー当日の海が荒れており、目的のツアーを実施することができませんでしたが、出来るツアーを実施させていただきました。
この時の対応姿勢が丁寧でよかったです。
次も使いたいと感じるツアーガイドさんでした。

The young female staff at the reception was very polite and explained everything clearly. Although the wind was strong, I didn't feel seasick, and it was impressive to see about four staff members waving goodbye as we departed from Ishigaki Island. The water buffalo, Yufu Island, the bus driver, and the female staff for the mangrove tour at Nakama River were all very kind and provided thorough explanations. The lunch was delicious, and everything was great!

However, I was really looking forward to the free time on Taketomi Island at the end. I had planned to spend the entire next day on Taketomi Island, so I wanted to take 2-3 hours to scout the area. While I was wandering around trying to find a rental bicycle place within walking distance from the port, an older man shouted, "The rental bicycles are this way!" When I approached to ask, he said, "Just get in the car for now!" even though I clearly told him I hadn't made a reservation.

After getting out of the car and trying to proceed with the rental bicycle process, the female staff at the reception said, "Only renting a bicycle? You can't get in the car unless it's part of the water buffalo package." When I explained that I had told the man I was only renting a bicycle and hadn't made a reservation, she seemed reluctant. I suddenly felt uncomfortable and tried to leave, but I was prompted to write my name down, so I borrowed the bicycle for a bit. However, I was worried about the bus schedule back to the port and ended up returning it after just one hour. Renting a bicycle for a whole day would have allowed for a more relaxed experience, but 2,000 yen for just two hours felt expensive, especially during the off-season.

I had imagined Taketomi Island to be a more leisurely place, but it felt very rushed, which was disappointing, and I decided not to go back the next day. Originally, I had planned to only visit Taketomi Island, so it was a good thing I participated in the tour and was able to visit other islands as well.

受付の若い女性スタッフさんとても丁寧で分かりやすく説明してくれました。風が強かったが船に酔うこともなく、石垣島を出港する時スタッフさんが4人位でずっと手を振ってくれていたのが印象的。水牛も由布島もバスの運転手さん、仲間川のマングローブ遊覧の女性スタッフさん、とても親切丁寧に説明をしてくださり、昼食も美味しくとても良かった！ただ、一番楽しみにしていた最後の竹富島フリータイム。翌日丸一日を竹富島に行こうと計画していたので、2〜3時間かけて下見をしようと思っていたが、港から歩いていけるレンタサイクルさんがどういっていいかウロウロしていたら、おじさんが「レンタサイクルはこっちー！」と叫んでいて、聞いてみようと近くに行ったら「レンタサイクルだけ？とりあえず乗って！」と車に乗せられた。予約 もしていないとハッキリ伝えていた。車を降り、レンタサイクルの手続きをしようとしたところ、受付の女性に「レンタサイクルだけ？水牛とセットじゃないと車には乗れないんですけど？」と言われた。おじさんに予約してないし、レンタサイクルのみと伝えたと言うと、何だか渋々。一気に嫌な気分になり、出ようとしたが、ここに名前書いてーと促され、とりあえず借りたが、港までのバスの時間だとか、あれこれ気になって結局1時間で返し、港に向かった。レンタサイクル1日借りられればゆったり出来るだろうが、2時間で2000円は高い。オフシーズンなのに。竹富島のイメージがもっとゆったりとしたものと思っていたがとてもせわしなく、がっかりしてしまい翌日も行くのをやめた。元々竹富島だけに行こうと考えていたので、ツアーに参加して他の島も行くことが出来てよかったです。

I had a great time seeing various corals and fish in different places! I was surprised to see a sea turtle at an unexpected moment too. The sea was very clear.

サンゴ、お魚が色々や場所で見れて楽しかった！！予想していなかったタイミングでウミガメもー。とっても透き通った海でした。

I used it from the airport. When I showed the voucher to the driver, I was immediately given a ticket valid for 24 hours. I used it from the airport to the bus terminal → Kawahira → bus terminal, and it was quite a good deal.

空港から利用しました。バウチャーを運転手さんに見せると24時間有効のチケットをすぐに渡してもらえました。空港からバスターミナル→川平→バスターミナルで利用しましたがかなりお得になりました。

The water buffalo transfer from Iriomote Island to Yufu Island was incredibly moving, with the sound of the sanshin and beautiful singing bringing me to tears. The Nakama River cruise on Iriomote Island was also very enjoyable, and the island-hopping tour with Taketomi Island was the best.

西表島から由布島の水牛移動では、三線と素敵な歌声で感動で涙腺ヤバかった。西表島の仲間川クルーズもとても良く、竹富島との三島巡りは最高でした。

Unfortunately, it was cloudy, but I had a wonderful experience for this price. I highly encourage everyone to participate. I joined alone, but I am grateful for the priority assistance I received.

残念ながら曇りでしたが、このお値段で素晴らしい体験が出来ました。
是非皆様も参加下さいませ。
一人で参加させていただきましたが、優先的に案内していただき感謝しております。

Even though it was cloudy, the guide's brightness lifted my spirits! With their careful explanations and gentle encouragement, I was able to enjoy myself with peace of mind. The quiet blue cave left a lasting impression; it was the best experience!

曇りでもガイドさんの明るさで気分は晴れ！　丁寧な説明と優しい声かけで安心して楽しめた。静かな青の洞窟が心に残る最高の体験だった！

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！

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。

The inconvenience of Ishigaki is the bus schedule and transfers. On the first day, I finished my main objective, but on the fourth day, I was able to make a bit of a loop around Ishigaki with a repurchase! The East Bus staff were also very helpful in explaining everything, which made me feel at ease!

石垣の不便さはバスの時間乗り継ぎです。
1日目は一番の目的を果たすで終わってましたが、4日目の再購入で石垣やや一周を果たせました！
東バスさんも丁寧に説明してくれるので安心でした！

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。

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 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。

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！

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。

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。

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。
