All Reviews for Bus Tours

When I boarded the bus, I noticed that the seats next to me were left empty, which made me feel that proper COVID-19 measures were being taken.

At the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, you can reserve seats by the tank in a restaurant where you can enjoy a meal while watching the whale sharks. Despite it being Sunday, I was seated after just a 15-minute wait, so be sure to announce your name upon arrival at the large tank. There was a time limit of about 40 minutes, but it was enough time to enjoy taco rice.

The freshly made sata andagi at the newly constructed facility on the second floor of Manzamo was delicious. There were about 5 to 6 varieties, each costing 90 yen. You can enjoy them while sitting on the terrace with a view of the sea.

The only disappointment was that the weather on Kouri Island wasn't great. There's nothing that can be done about that.

I believe the main reason I had such a comfortable day was that the guide was wonderful. They provided guidance along the way with a pleasant voice, and their warm and gentle personality was truly soothing.

バスに乗り込むと、前後と通路を挟んだお隣は空席にしてあり、コロナ対策がしっかりとなされていると感じました。
美ら海水族館ではジンベイザメを眺めながら食事が出来るレストランの水槽側の席が予約可能です。日曜日にもかかわらず待ち時間15分で案内されたので、巨大水槽についたらまず名前を告げて予約しましょう。40分くらいの時間制限がありましたが、タコライスを食べるには十分な時間です。
万座毛に新たに建設された施設2階の揚げたてサーターアンダギーが
美味しかったです。5～6種類あり、1個90円。テラス席で海を見ながらいただけます。
唯一残念だったのは、古宇利島でお天気が良くなかったこと。こればかりは仕方ありません。
快適な一日を過ごせた最大の理由は、ガイドさんが素晴らしかったからだと思います。心地の良い声で道中案内してくださって、温かく穏やかなお人柄に癒されました。

I was staying at a hotel in Yomitan Village and didn't have a rental car, but I really wanted to go to the Churaumi Aquarium, so I joined a tour. The tour efficiently covered the sightseeing spots, and there was no pressure to buy souvenirs, so I truly enjoyed it. The guide was great as well.

読谷村のホテルに泊まっていてレンタカーを借りていなかったのですが、どうしても美ら海水族館に行きたくて参加しました。
ツアーは効率よく観光場所を回り、無理にお土産等買わせようということもみられなかったので、本当に楽しめました。
ガイドさんもよかったです。

Due to the pandemic, there were only four participants! Moreover, all of us were solo travelers (laughs). But thanks to that, we were able to bond and it turned into a fun trip! Thank you for operating with such a small group.

コロナ禍のせいか参加者が4人！
しかも全員1人参加同士（笑）
でもおかげで仲良くなれて楽しい旅と
なりました！少人数での運行ありがとうございます。

I participated using the GoTo campaign. According to the guide, before COVID-19, it was fully booked every day. After reopening, it seems to be quite empty. There were only five participants on the day I joined.
The main stops were Manzamo, Kouri Island, Okashi Goten, Churaumi Aquarium, and Pineapple Park.
Each sightseeing spot was enjoyable to some extent, but since Okashi Goten also has a store in Naha's Kokusai Street, I honestly felt it wasn't necessary. Still, the staff at the sales store were very pleasant.
Additionally, we had lunch there, but the Okinawa soba was lukewarm and honestly did not suit my taste at all. It might have been better to use the cafeteria at the Kouri Island rest area.
I had heard the song from Pineapple Park many times at Don Quijote on Kokusai Street, so I felt, "Is this the place?" Also, the renovations varied greatly from place to place, which made me confused about whether the route we were taking was correct, and it took a long time to get through. The commercial aspect was very strong, and I wondered about that. Personally, I imagined a place where I could compare and taste different varieties of fresh pineapples.
That said, for those who want to enjoy the northern part without renting a car, this might be the best tour option.

GoToキャンペーンを利用して参加。ガイドさんに聞いたところコロナ前は連日満席。再開後は閑古鳥が鳴いているということでした。当日参加者は5名と少数。
主な停車場所は万座毛、古宇利島、御菓子御殿、美ら海水族館、パイナップルパーク。
各観光箇所はそれなりに楽しめましたが、御菓子御殿は那覇・国際通りにも店舗があるので正直必要性は…という感じ。それでも販売店舗の方の店員さんの感じは非常によかったです。
更にそこで昼食だったのですが沖縄そばがぬるかったし正直わたしの口にはまったく合いませんでした。古宇利島休憩所の食堂を利用した方がよかったかも。
パイナップルパークは曲を国際通りのドンキホーテで何度となく聴いていたので「ここがその場所か」という感じでした。また、改装の具合が場所ごとに全く違うことから移動しているルートが正しいのか戸惑い、抜けるのに時間がかかるのと商業色がめっちゃ強くてどうなんだろうなぁという感じです。個人的には素のパイナップルを品種別に比較して食べられるようなところを想像していました。
それでもレンタカーを借りないで少しでも北部を楽しもうとする人には一番向いたツアーではないでしょうか。

I had plenty of time to explore each site, and I was able to enjoy sightseeing efficiently without having to drive myself. Although I was concerned about COVID-19, it was reassuring that everyone was sanitized when getting on and off. The tour didn't include lunch, but I was happy to receive a complimentary sandwich.

どこの見学も充分な時間があり、自分で運転せずに、効率よく観光することができました。コロナの心配もありましたが、乗り降りの際に全員除菌するので、安心でした。お昼ご飯が付いていないコースでしたが、サービスでサンドイッチも一枚頂けて嬉しかったです。

I made a last-minute trip reservation the day before, but everything was processed smoothly, and I am satisfied. The bus tour and the guide were both very dedicated, and I felt positively about it. I'm glad I participated.

突然、思い立った旅行で前日の予約でしたが
全てスムーズに処理されて満足です。
バスツアーもガイドさんも一生懸命で好感が持てました、参加して良かったです。

I participated alone. There was another person who also joined alone, so I didn't feel too awkward. The main attraction was the Churaumi Aquarium, and I was able to see various places in one day, including Manzamo and Nago Pineapple Park. It had been nearly 10 years since my last visit to Okinawa, but the beauty of the scenery was just as stunning, and I really enjoyed it.

1人で参加しました。他にも1人で参加されている方がいたので気まずい思いはそこまでしませんでした。
美ら海水族館をメインに、万座毛や名護パイナップルパークなど1日で色んな所を見れました。
約10年近くぶりの沖縄でしたが、景色の美しさは変わらずとても楽しめました。

I participated alone, but I was glad I could go to the places I wanted to visit. They had proper COVID-19 measures in place, and the seating arrangements were considerate, allowing me to spend my time comfortably. The Churaumi Aquarium, which I really wanted to visit, was breathtaking. There was plenty of free time to enjoy everything thoroughly.

1人で参加しましたが行きたい場所に行く事が出来て良かったです。
コロナ対策もきちんとしており座席も考えていて
気持ちよく過ごせました。
どうしても行きたかった美ら海水族館は感動しました。自由行動の時間も多く十分楽しめました。

It was a place that was a bit difficult to visit alone, but there was a sightseeing bus that took us to the two desired locations, allowing us to use our time very efficiently. I was very satisfied to visit the Sefa Utaki and the Valley of Gangala, as well as the caves and sacred sites that have remained since ancient times.

一人なのでなかなか行きづらい場所でしたが、観光バスで希望の2箇所周遊があり、とても効率よく回れる時間も有効に使えました。斎場御嶽と、ガンガーラの谷と、古代から残る洞窟や聖地に行けてとても満足です。

I have traveled to Okinawa many times, but since I'm not good at driving, I decided to take the bus to the northern part and joined this tour!
It was my first time visiting the Tropical Dream Center. The orchid flowers were very vibrant and beautiful. Also, the view from the observation deck inside the facility offers a panoramic view of the blue ocean. It was breathtaking!
At the Okashi Goten, the fresh purple sweet potato tart was delicious.
During the bus ride, the bus guide sang Okinawan songs, and I had a great time.

沖縄旅行は何度もしているのですが、車の運転が苦手なため、北部へはバスで行こうと思いこのツアーに参加させていただきました！
熱帯ドリームセンターへは初めて行きました。ランの花がとても鮮やかでキレイでした。また施設内の遠見台から見る景色は青い海を一望できます。絶景でした！
お菓子御殿では生の紅イモタルトがおいしかったです。
バス乗車中は、バスガイドさんが沖縄の歌を歌ってくれるなど楽しい時を過ごせました。

I participated in a bus tour and arrived at Seifa Utaki earlier than scheduled. During the waiting time, I was able to stroll around Chita Peninsula Park. The weather was nice, and Kudaka Island looked beautiful.

The guide's explanations and the handmade picture story were great. After visiting Utaki, I bought some sata andagi.

At Okinawa World, the limestone cave was impressively long. But the highlight was the Eisa performance, where five women took turns dancing for 30 minutes. They jumped while playing drums and lifted their legs high; it was amazing. If you check the Eisa schedule and prioritize watching it, you'll have a lot of fun.

There were also coupon discounts, which made it relatively easy to enjoy the less accessible Nanjo.

バスツアー参加、当日予定よりも早くせーふぁ御嶽に着いて、待ち時間、知多岬公園を散策できた。天気も良く久高島が綺麗に見えた。

ガイドさんの解説も手作り紙芝居もあり、良かった。御嶽見学後、サータアンダーギを買って摘んだ。

沖縄ワールドでは、鍾乳洞が長くすごかった。でも一番良かったのは、エイサー、女性5人が入れ変わり立ち代わり30分、動き回る。太鼓を叩きながらジャンプしたり足を高く上げたり、凄かった。エイサーの時間確認して優先して見ると楽しいです。

クーポン割引もあり、比較的行きにくい南城をうまく楽しめました。

The area is not very convenient for transportation, so it's recommended for efficient sightseeing. The outdoor attractions were blessed with good weather, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful ocean views. I purchased freshly harvested sea grapes (fresh and inexpensive), and the cold draft beer was the best.

For lunch, I chose a personal order and enjoyed the cold noodles made with purple sweet potato (the purple sweet potato tempura was crispy and freshly fried). The "Churaumi Aquarium" met my expectations.

The Ocean Expo Park is vast, but due to the impact of COVID-19, there were few tourists, and I had plenty of time, so I also enjoyed the Tropical Dream Center, Okinawa Village, Ocean Culture Museum, and Emerald Beach (I walked quite fast, but I personally recommend the Tropical Dream Center).

After a sudden rain shower, we arrived at Pineapple Park. The indoor tour was problem-free, and I enjoyed drinking pineapple sparkling wine, resting with juice tastings and sweet samples, and taking photos with the dinosaur in the botanical garden.

Since I was staying in the beach resort area, it was easy to get off the bus first on the way back. During the bus ride, hand sanitization was mandatory, and masks were required. Depending on the facility, hand sanitization and temperature checks were thorough, and bus seating was assigned to avoid crowding.

交通手段が不便な地域の観光なので、効率よく回れてお勧めです。
外の観光は、天気にも恵まれて、美しい海の景観を堪能しました。
朝採り海ぶどうを購入(新鮮で安価）、冷たい生ビールが最高でした。
お昼は個人で自由オーダーを選び、紅芋の冷麺（紅芋の天ぷらは、カラッと揚げたて）を美味しく頂きました。　
「美ら海水族館」は期待通り。
海洋博公園内は広大ですが、コロナの影響で観光客も少なく、時間の余裕もあったので、熱帯ドリームセンター・おきなわ郷土村・海洋文化館・エメラルドビーチも楽しみました。（かなり早歩きでしたが・・・熱帯ドリームセンターは、個人的にお勧めです）
夕立があり、パイナップルパークに到着。屋内見学で問題なく、パイナップルスパーリングワインを飲み、試飲のジュースや試食スィーツで疲れを休め、植物園のダイナソーと写真を撮って楽しみました。
　ビーチリゾート地区に宿泊していたので、帰りは最初に降車で、楽でした。
バス乗車時は、必ず手の消毒。アスク着用。施設により、手の消毒と検温が徹底、バスの座席も、密を避けて座席指定をされていました。
　

I visited Northern Okinawa for sightseeing. Due to the impact of COVID-19, there were only three of us, but I am grateful for the guide's hard work. Please keep it up!

沖縄北部観光でした〜〜コロナの影響で3人と大変少ない人数でしたが、ガイドさんは一生懸命やって頂き感謝しています。これからも頑張ってくださいね。

The souvenir shops along the way usually have many samples, but due to COVID-19, there are hardly any. The aquarium has also canceled all events. Well, on the bright side, you can enjoy watching the fish slowly without the crowds.

途中の土産物屋は試食が多い店だがコロナの影響でほとんど無し。
水族館もイベントはすべて中止。まぁ密にならず魚をゆっくり見ることが出来るのでその点は良い。

I use this tour every time I go to Okinawa because it allows for a comprehensive sightseeing experience. The variety of attractions keeps it enjoyable without getting boring. It's convenient since they provide bus transportation, so I don't have to rent a car. I highly recommend this tour.

一通りの観光が出来るので、
沖縄に行くたびにこのツアーを利用しています。
観光場所が充実しているので飽きる事なく楽しめます。
レンタカーを借りなくてもバスで案内して頂けるので気楽に行けるので重宝してます、
オススメツアーです。

On the last day in Okinawa, I was wondering where to go until my flight time, and I found this plan that included the limestone cave I wanted to visit, so I made a reservation.
I had a great time at Okinawa World, enjoying the Gyokusendo Cave, an Eisa performance, and taking photos in traditional costumes.
The bus was spacious, and the guide was very cheerful, a great singer, and kind. The price was reasonable, and I was able to make good use of my time, so it was a very satisfying tour.
I highly recommend it!

沖縄最終日、飛行機の時間までどこへ行こうか悩んでいたところ、行きたかった鍾乳洞がコースに含まれているこのプランを見つけ予約しました。
玉泉洞、エイサーのパフォーマンス、伝統衣装を着ての写真撮影など、おきなわワールドで楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
バスもゆったりしていて、ガイドさんもとても明るく歌が上手で親切な方でした。お値段もお手頃で時間を有効に使えたので大満足のツアー。
とてもオススメです！

I was able to visit many places I wanted to see in Okinawa for the first time, and it was great that the seating was spaced out due to COVID-19 measures. I think it's a good deal to be able to go around for a day with meals included at this price.

初めての沖縄で行ってみたかった所にたくさん行け、コロナ対策で席の間隔も空いており良かったです。ご飯付きで一日回れてこの価格はお得だと思います。

It's helpful that we can tour efficiently. Traveling individually can be tough, right? I highly recommend it. Disinfection was thorough. The pace was a bit fast, but the guide's fun commentary and singing kept it from being boring. I was very happy to meet the guide I had last time.

効率良く観光が出来るので助かります。
個人で観光するのは大変ですよね。お勧めです。
消毒はしっかりとされていました。
少しペースは早いですが、ガイドさんの楽しい案内、歌で退屈しませんでした。
前回お世話になったガイドさんにお会いし、とても嬉しかったです。

It was lonely because there were few people due to the impact of COVID-19, but I had a great time with safe driving and proper explanations. I would like to use this service again.

コロナの影響で人は少なくて寂しかったですが、

安全な運転、適切な説明、すごく良い時間を過ごしました。

また、利用したいと思います。

I wanted to make the most of my half day upon arriving in Okinawa, so I participated in this tour. It was my first time at the Gangala Valley, and I was overwhelmed by the magnificent nature. I had a wonderful experience entering the caves with a lantern! Although it was July, it wasn't too hot because of the lush trees around, and I appreciated that they lent us insect repellent spray and prepared Sanpin tea for us. I felt reassured as the bus and tourist spots seemed to have solid COVID-19 measures in place. The guide, Bise, at Gangala Valley shared some great stories.

沖縄到着の日の半日を有効に使いたいと思い参加しました。
初めてのガンガラーの谷でしたが、壮大な自然に圧倒され、ランタンを持って洞窟に入ったりと素敵な体験をさせてもらいました！
７月でしたが、木々が生い茂っている中なので、そこまで暑くはなく、虫除けスプレーを貸してくれたりサンピン茶を準備してくださったりと、助かりました。
バスの中や観光先もコロナ対策がしっかりとされている印象で安心できました！
ガンガラーの谷でのガイドのビセさんのお話とても良かったです。

It was very nice and spacious. However, I think it's better to have a clear purpose for your stay at Nago Pineapple Park, even if your visit is short.

空いていてとても良かった。
ただ、名護パイナップルパークは滞在が短くてもいいし、滞在する目的を明確にした方がいいと思います。

It was a tour during the COVID-19 pandemic, but the seating arrangement and alcohol disinfection measures were well considered, allowing us to enjoy it with peace of mind. We had plenty of time at the Churaumi Aquarium, which was great. However, the last stop, Pineapple Park, was not what I expected. Is it a place to enjoy a botanical garden? There were several souvenir shops, and I was worried about not finding the exit and being late for the meeting time. I was hoping to eat delicious, freshly picked pineapples at Pineapple Park, but I was disappointed by the unclear layout. Other than that, everything was enjoyable, the guide's stories were interesting, and it turned out to be a fulfilling day with safe driving.

コロナ禍でのツアーでしたが、座席配列やアルコール消毒に配慮されていて、安心して楽しめました。美ら海水族館もたっぷり時間があり、よかったです。ただ、最後のパイナップルパークが、思っていたものではありませんでした。植物園を楽しむ場所でしょうか？お土産もの屋さんが何軒もあり、出口が分からず、集合時間に遅れるかと、不安になってしまいました。パイナップルパークでは、美味しい獲れたてのパイナップルが食べれるかと期待していたのですが、よく分からない作りにガッカリしました。あとは、どこも楽しく、ガイドさんのお話しも面白く、安全運転で、充実した1日になりました。

I wanted to go to the Churaumi Aquarium, and since I thought driving a rental car would be tiring, I decided to join a tour.

We were picked up in front of the prefectural office, and there were four participants on the trip. I was worried about the weather, but it turned out to be cloudy, and I was satisfied that we could visit the places we wanted to go.

The bridge to Kouri Island must have been really beautiful if the weather had been nice. Maybe I'll try again for a revenge trip!

美ら海水族館に行きたくて、レンタカーだと気疲れしそうだったので、ツアーに参加する事にしました。

県庁前ピックアップ、参加者4人の旅でした。
天気が心配だったけど、なんとか曇り空で、
行きたいところいけて、満足しました。

古宇利島の橋は、天気が良ければむっちゃ綺麗だったんだろうな。
またリベンジするか！

I participated in a popular tour that covers tourist spots in the northern region. There are often cases where the distance from the parking lot to the facilities is considerable, so it's necessary to take measures against the heat.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the dolphin shows and manatee learning experiences at the Churaumi Aquarium have been canceled, and the shows at Ryukyu Village were shortened in both time and content, so I recommend checking their website in advance.

However, all facilities have implemented thorough infection prevention measures, including temperature checks and alcohol disinfection (including awamori disinfection) upon entry, and we were able to enjoy sightseeing and meals while maintaining social distance. The buses also ensured disinfection upon boarding, which made me feel safe participating.

北部の観光地を網羅している人気のツアーに参加しました。駐車場から施設までの距離があったりするケースが多く暑さ対策必要です。
コロナ禍で美ら海水族館のイルカショーやマナティ学習体験などは中止されており、琉球村のショーは時間も内容も短縮されていたので、事前にHPで確認するのをお勧めします。
ただどの施設も感染予防対策が徹底されており、入館時は検温、アルコール消毒(泡盛消毒も)あり、ソーシャルディスタンスで見学や食事を楽しむことが出来ました。バスも乗車時にも必ず消毒していたので安心して参加出来ました。

I was worried about my feet when it rained, but I had a great time! The explanations were very interesting and engaging! The sanpincha was also appreciated!

雨が降ると足元が心配ですが、とても楽しかった！説明もとても興味深く聞き応えがありました！さんぴんちゃも有り難かったです！

The sea was beautiful, and the whale sharks at the Churaumi Aquarium were impressive and great. The tour guide was also entertaining.

海もキレイだったし、美ら海水族館のジンベエサメも迫力があって良かったです。
添乗員の方も面白かったです。

Due to heavy rain, we couldn't enter Shurijo Castle, which we arrived at by 9:00. As a result, we got to Okinawa World early and were able to enjoy the Eisa show starting at 10:30, as well as various experiences like the cave exploration and dressing up! Even if you can visit Shurijo Castle, I recommend watching the Eisa show first at Okinawa World before the cave exploration!

大雨で9:00に着いた斎場御嶽は入場出来ませんでした。そのためおきなわワールドに早く着きましたが10:30からのエイサーショーも見られて玉泉洞も着付け体験も色々楽しめました❗️斎場御嶽に行けてもおきなわワールドでは鍾乳洞よりエイサーショーを先に見るのをオススメします❗️

I only went to courses that included the Churaumi Aquarium...
I plan to buy souvenirs on the last day of the trip or at the airport...
I didn't intend to shop, so I had a plan without lunch, but I decided to order lunch at the last minute.
It would be nice if there were courses that go to less mainstream, hidden spots.

美ら海水族館に行くコースばっかり…
お土産は旅行の最後の日か空港で買うから…
買い物する気が無かったので昼食無しのプランだったが､急遽昼食を頼むことにした。
もっとメジャーでは無く穴場的な所に行くコースがあればいい。

The guide was very kind. I am a foreigner, and I truly appreciate your thoughtfulness. I also received souvenirs, and it was a really enjoyable trip.

ガイドさん　優しかったです。私は外国人なんですが、お気遣い本当にありがとうございました。お土産もいただいてますし、すごく楽しい旅行でした。

Since it's a tourist spot, I underestimated it and participated in heel sandals, but it turned out to be more of an adventure than I expected. I think I would have enjoyed it even more if I had worn shoes that were less slippery and easier to walk in. Everything else was great!

観光スポットなので、甘くみてヒールのサンダルで参加してしまいましたが、思った以上にアドベンチャーでした。滑りずらく歩き安い靴を履いていたら、更に楽しめたと思います。それ以外は最高でしたした！
