My first trip to Okinawa. I came across this tour because I wanted to visit the Churaumi Aquarium! Since there was a departure from Naha, even without a driver's license, we were able to enjoy the tourist spots in Okinawa!
The time spent at each location was just right. We got to see the large aquarium and the dolphin show, and there were plenty of pineapple tastings, which made us very satisfied!
On the way back, we were dropped off at Kokusai Street, so we could even buy souvenirs after the tour!
Both the driver and the guide were great! Thank you to the guide for the song gift as well!
I would like to use this service again on my next trip to Okinawa!
初めての沖縄旅行。せっかくだから「ちゅら海水族館」に行ってみたい!という願望からこのツアーにめぐり合いました☆
那覇からの出発もあった為、免許の無い私達でも沖縄の観光地を楽しむ事ができました!
それぞれの場所での行動時間も丁度良いです。
お目当ての大きな水槽やイルカショーも観れたし、パイナップルの試食も沢山あって大満足!!
帰りは国際通りで降ろしてもらい、ツアー後にお土産買いまでできちゃいました☆
運転手さんもガイドさんも良い方でした♪
ガイドさん、歌のプレゼントもありがとうございました!
又沖縄旅行の際には利用させていただきたいなと思います☆

It was a tour in the unfortunate rain, but I had so much fun with a guide like no other! There were songs, quizzes, dances, paper plays, and storybook readings, among other things.
A Taiwanese person sitting next to me asked, "Are all bus guides in Japan like this?" and I replied, "No, this is special just for here."
I highly recommend it for beginners in Okinawa!
生憎の雨の中のツアーでしたが、こんなガイド見た事無い!!って位、楽しめました。
歌やクイズは勿論、踊りや紙芝居、絵本朗読などなど・・・。
たまたま隣に乗ってた台湾人の方に、「日本のバスガイドさんはみんなこうなの?」と、聞かれ、「違うよ。ここだけが特別なんだよ。」と、応えておきました。
沖縄初心者さん、オススメですよ!!

During my first trip to Okinawa, we were all fans of alcohol, and since renting a car seemed like a hassle, I was really wondering how to get to the northern part of the island. That's when I found out about this tour online. At that time, there were only tours available until the end of March, so it was a bit challenging to look for tours starting in April.
Additionally, since one of our members had some mobility issues, it was essential that they pick us up from the hotel. That was our top priority.
I was initially concerned that the bus ride would just be a means of transportation, but the bus guide kept sharing information about Okinawa and even sang songs during the trip. Instead of sleeping, I ended up learning a lot about Okinawa. I still remember it well enough to explain it to first-timers.
The guide from Toyo Bus, who spoke so fluently about all that content, is someone I haven't encountered on other tours. We are all truly grateful.
On the day of the tour, there was a huge traffic jam due to the "Prefectural Tournament," but the driver and the bus guide were incredibly attentive, almost like they were the main characters in the story. They cleverly took an unexpected highway route, and we arrived at the hotel on time. It was truly wonderful.
It might be enough to focus solely on Churaumi.
In the future, whenever I take a tour in Okinawa, I genuinely want to participate in a tour with Toyo Bus and the guide from that day, which was even better than Churaumi. If possible, I would like to know about their tours. It was truly a satisfying day.
初めての沖縄旅行で、お酒の好きな人間ばかりで
レンタカーも面倒だし、タクシーやバスも・・・と
ホント、北部までの移動をどうしようかと
考えていたところ、Webでこのツアーを知りました。
丁度3月満了ツアーしか出ていない頃だったので
この4月からのツアーを探すのは少し大変でした。
また、足が少し不自由なメンバーも居たため
まず、ホテルまで迎えに来てくれること
これがイチバンでした。
そして、バスはただの移動、この時間どうしようか
・・・と思っていたところ
バスガイドさんが、車中ずーっと沖縄の事を教えてくれたり
歌を唄ってくれたりで、寝るよりも先に沖縄のことが
本当に良く勉強できました。
今でも覚えてて、初めての人にも説明できるほどです。
・・・というか、あれだけの内容をスラスラとお話しされる
当日ご担当された東陽バスのガイドさんは
他のツアーでも会ったことがありません。
メンバー一同、本当に感謝しています。
また、当日は例の「県民大会」で大渋滞していましたが
運転手さんとバスガイドさんがまるで自分が主人公のように
親身に気転をきかせていただき、予定外の高速を使って
ホテルには定時着。本当に素晴らしいです。
メインは美ら海だけにしても良いかもしれません。
これからも沖縄ツアーのときは、
美ら海よりも良かった、東陽バスと当日のガイドさんの
ツアーに参加したいと本当に思います。
できれば、ツアーを教えて欲しいです。
本当に満足した一日となりました。

On the day of the event, it was pouring rain, and I couldn't enjoy the beautiful sea of Kouri Island. I only got to see the indoor areas of the Ryukyu Village... However, the bus guide was really great, so I was satisfied. There were various explanations during the ride, and they were very easy to understand. We had paper plays, a mini folk song show, and we even sang together using sign language, so it was never boring. Since it was inexpensive, I didn't have high expectations, but I was glad I signed up here!
参加当日は大雨で、古宇利島の美しい海は味わうことが出来ませんでした。
琉球村も屋内しか見ていません…
しかし、バスガイドの方がすごく良かったので満足でした。移動中色んな説明がありましたが、とても分かりやすく、紙芝居や、ミニミニ民謡ショーや、みんなで手話をしながら歌ったり、全然退屈じゃなかったです。
安かったので全然期待してなかったのですが、こちらで申し込んで正解でした!

On my first trip to Okinawa, I really wanted to visit the Churaumi Aquarium, so I joined this tour. We had about three hours at the aquarium, which allowed us to explore at a leisurely pace. My mother borrowed a wheelchair, and we were able to navigate smoothly thanks to the barrier-free facilities. We got to see beautiful fish, whale sharks, manta rays, and sea turtles, and it was even more enjoyable than I expected.
While I was very satisfied with the time spent at the aquarium, I felt that the time at the butterfly garden, pineapple park, and glass museum was a bit short, and I wished we could have taken our time there. Although the time at the pineapple park was brief, I thoroughly enjoyed the pineapple! It was not sour at all and was delicious. Since it was cut into bite-sized pieces, I could eat as much as I wanted. I was disappointed that we ran out of time to buy souvenirs.
I recommend this tour for those who want to visit the Churaumi Aquarium without renting a car!
初めての沖縄で、美ら海水族館はぜひ訪れたいと思い、こちらのツアーに参加しました。
水族館の滞在時間は3時間程度で、ゆっくり見学することができました。また、母が車椅子を借りましたが、バリアフリーでスムーズに廻ることができました。きれいな魚や、ジンベエザメ、マンタ、ウミガメなどを見ることができ、期待以上に楽しめました。
水族館の滞在時間が長くて大満足でしたが、蝶々園やパイナップルパーク、森のガラス館の滞在時間が短く、もう少しゆっくりしたいなと思いました。
パイナップルパークの滞在時間は短かったものの、パイナップルはしっかり頂きました(^^)vぜんぜん酸っぱくなく、おいしかったです。一口サイズに切ってあるので、いくらでも食べられます。お土産を買う時間がなくなったのが残念です。
「レンタカーを利用しないけど、美ら海水族館には行きたい!」という方にはオススメです。

I stayed in the Chubu area, but since I didn't have a rental car, the round-trip taxi fare to the Churaumi Aquarium was over 20,000 yen! When I looked into tours, I found one that included admission to the aquarium for under 5,000 yen, along with stops at the Kouri Island Bridge and Ryukyu Village in the northern part of the Motobu Peninsula. I didn't want to visit the usual tourist spots, so this tour was very appealing. Although the tour typically departs from Naha, we were picked up at the Ishikawa IC bus stop since we were staying at a resort in Chubu. (It cost about 2,400 yen to get to Ishikawa IC by fixed-rate taxi.) On the bus, a cute tour guide kept the atmosphere lively, saying things like, "It seems some of you might be resting, but I won't let go of the microphone on the way there!" She provided explanations about the scenery outside the window and shared various knowledge about Okinawa, making the ride enjoyable. She spoke gently with a lovely voice, so even if someone dozed off, it would still be quite pleasant! Although it was unfortunately cloudy, the view of the pale green shallow sea spreading on both sides while crossing the Kouri Island Bridge was very beautiful. At the island's agricultural product sales area, they sold rare fruits and handmade brown sugar, which were inexpensive and highly recommended. The aquarium allows for two and a half hours of time. Since lunch was on our own, we had a light meal at a restaurant with a view of the large tank. It might also be nice to buy a snack from the shop outside the aquarium and enjoy it while looking at the sea! We were able to enjoy the Okichan Theater starting at 1 PM. After the aquarium, we headed to "Okashi Goten," a lively Okinawan sweets shop, around 3 PM. However, the purple sweet potato tart was tastier than I expected! I ended up buying two boxes (^^;). Also, the salty sesame chin-suko was frustratingly delicious, and I bought that too. There was also a corner with a variety of awamori lined up. For those who said they wouldn't buy souvenirs, they sold Blue Seal ice cream, and on the second floor, it seems you could enjoy cakes and coffee made with local ingredients. After that, we went to Ryukyu Village. Just as we arrived, a parade in the style of the Ryukyu Dynasty was about to start, and we enjoyed watching Ryukyu dances and songs for about 30 minutes. At the end, the spectators joined in and had fun dancing the Kachashi together. We were allowed to leave the group there. Taxis were waiting at Ryukyu Village, so we could return to the hotel right away (though it naturally cost about 2,300 yen). Overall, the guide's enjoyable stories...
中部に宿泊しましたが、レンタカーではなかったので、美ら海水族館往復タクシー代だけで20000円以上!ツアーを調べたら、5000円切る料金で水族館の入場券込み、本部半島北部の古宇利島大橋と琉球村に寄るツアーを発見。おなじみの安直な観光施設には寄りたくなかったので、このツアーは魅力的です。那覇出発が基本ですが、中部のリゾートに泊まっていた私たちは石川ICバス停で拾ってもらいました。(石川ICまでは定額タクシーで2400円ほどかかりましたけどね。)バスの中ではかわいいバスガイドさんが『お休みの方もいらっしゃるようですけど~、わたし、行きはマイク離しませんからね~~』とかいいながら、窓外の説明や沖縄の知識をいろいろ話してくれて、楽しませてくれました。決して押し付けがましくなくて、きれいな声で優しく話してくれるので、万が一居眠りしても、それなりに心地よいかも!あいにくの曇り空でしたが古宇利島大橋をわたるとき両側に広がる淡い黄緑の浅い海の景色はとても美しいです。島の農産物販売所では珍しいフルーツや手作りの黒砂糖を売っていて、安くてお勧め。水族館では2時間半の時間をとってくれます。お昼は各自なので、私たちは大水槽が眺められるレストランで軽食を食べました。水族館の外にあるスナックのお店で軽食を買って海を眺めながら食べるのもいいかも!一時からのオキちゃん劇場がちょうど楽しめます。水族館のあとはちょうど3時ころに『お菓子御殿』なる商魂逞しげな沖縄スイーツの『御殿』へ。しかし、紫芋のタルトは思ったよりおいしいです!思わず2箱買っちゃいました(^^;)あと、塩ゴマちんすこうも悔しいけどおいしくてやはり買ってしまいました。奥にはあわもりがずらっと並ぶコーナーもありました。お土産は買わないよ、という人向けにブルーシールのアイスクリームを売っていたり、2階では地場ものを使ったケーキとコーヒーなんかもいただけるようです。その後、琉球村にいきました。こちらもちょうど琉球王朝風のパレードが始まるところで、30分ほど琉球の踊りや歌を見物して、楽しかったです。最後は見物客も参加して一緒にカチャーシーで盛り上がってました。私たちは、こちらで離団させてもらいました。琉球村にはタクシーが待機していたのですぐにホテルに帰ることができました(ただし当然2300円ほどかかりましたが)。総じて、ガイドさんの楽しいお話つ

I don't have a driver's license, but I wanted to go to the Churaumi Aquarium, so I participated. I was quite surprised that it took about three hours to get to the first activity, just as I had read in other experiences. I appreciated that they timely asked if we needed a bathroom break without us having to say anything. There was more time at the Churaumi Aquarium than I expected, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The butterfly garden was tough for me since I'm not good with insects. However, even just looking at the scenery around the butterfly house, which is like a greenhouse, lifted my spirits. On the way back, I was happy that I could get off at DFS instead of going all the way to the hotel, as they were flexible with the arrangements.
免許を持っていないけど、美ら海水族館に行きたくて参加させていただきました。こちらの体験談で読ませていただいてた通り、最初のアクティヴィティーまで3時間かかったのには、結構びっくりでした。トイレ休憩は、こちらから言わなくてもタイミング良く声掛けをしてくださったので、ありがたかったです。美ら海水族館は思ったより時間がたっぷりあり、大満喫でした。蝶々園は、昆虫苦手な私にはきつかったです。でも、ビニールハウス状の蝶々ハウスに入らなくても、周りの景色を見るだけでも、テンションあがりました。帰りはホテルまででなく、途中のDFSで降りることもでき、柔軟な対応が嬉しかったです。

I chose this tour based on the reviews I read.
By chance, our guide this time was someone who fell in love with Okinawa and moved here from the mainland to become a guide. They didn't have the typical Okinawan accent, which gave a bit of a local feel. However, they were great at imitating the elderly, and the tour was rich in variety with island songs, sanshin (a traditional Okinawan instrument), dances, and paper theater, all delivered with heartfelt enthusiasm. I recommend sitting in the very front row.
Kouri Island is incredibly beautiful, and I wanted to explore deeper into the island, but our time was short, which left me a bit regretful.
At the Churaumi Aquarium, the dolphin show at the Okichan Theater was fun, featuring a uniquely Okinawan performance with playful dolphins. The same goes for Ryukyu Village; the timing of the shows was well-coordinated with our stay, making it easy to enjoy and very helpful.
After returning from the trip, I find myself naturally humming Begin's "Shimanchu nu Takara" in the bus. "Iyasasa..."
クチコミを見て決めたツアーでした。
たまたま、今回のガイドさんは、本土から沖縄にほれ込んで移住なさってガイドになられた方で、沖縄訛りがなく、ローカル感がちょっと。でも、おばぁの真似が上手で、島唄、三線、踊りに紙芝居と、とてもバラエティーに富んでいて、心がこもっていました。席は一番前に座るのがオススメです。
古宇利島はとても美しく、島の奥の方まで行ってみたかったのですが、滞在時間が短かかったので、少し心残りでした。
ちゅら海水族館では、オキちゃん劇場のイルカのショーが沖縄らしい演出とお茶目なイルカ達で楽しかったです。琉球村もですが、ショー開催時に滞在時間を合わせてあるので、手軽に楽しめ、助かりました。
旅行から帰ってきた後、バスの中で歌ったビギンの「島人ぬ宝」を自然と口ずさんでいます。「イヤササ・・」

Churaumi Aquarium was indeed a high-level aquarium, as rumored, with a variety of fish and wonderful exhibits. Since we had plenty of time, we let the kids play in the aquarium's park, which had equipment not found on the mainland, and they had a great time. The bus guide's Okinawan songs were also nice.

I participated with a friend who was visiting Okinawa for the first time.
As we traveled north from Naha, we were able to hear a lot about the history and specialties of the places we passed through, along with many Okinawan songs sung by our guide. I was very satisfied to learn about Okinawa in a way that you can't just get from guidebooks or tourist spots. Of course, the Churaumi Aquarium and Kouri Island were also wonderful.
Since you can hear a lot of Okinawa trivia, I think beginners will especially enjoy participating at the beginning of their trip.

I participated in a bus tour in Okinawa for the first time, and the guide's explanations were excellent. They not only provided information about each sightseeing spot but also shared insights about the Okinawan dialect, history, and current situation. Additionally, we learned about Okinawan music and dance, sang together, and even performed "Tears of Joy" in sign language, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the Okinawan atmosphere.
However, I felt that it would have been better if we had more time at each sightseeing location. Thank you for considering this suggestion.

The cloudy sky made the color of the sea a bit lackluster... But on the bright side, the sunlight was soft and pleasant. Despite that, the view from Kouri Island was stunning.
The Churaumi Aquarium was also fantastic. Even if you're not a child, it's exciting. By the time we finished exploring the aquarium, the dolphin and whale show started. The weather improved, and we could see the vibrant colors of Emerald Beach changing.
For those who want to take their time with lunch, it's a good idea to prepare a bento to enjoy while watching the show. There are also shops available.
In the square at Ryukyu Village, I had fun joining the dance circle with a lady who had a beer bottle (Okinawa's famous Orion Beer?) on her head—sorry, I meant a young woman!
One of the charms of the sightseeing bus is that you can hear various stories about history, legends, and the lives of the local people. The lyrics of the songs sung conveyed the history and feelings of Okinawa very deeply.
I have really come to love Okinawa. I can understand why 60% of visitors are repeat travelers.
曇り空で海の色がいまいち・・・。でもその分日差しが柔らかく助かりました。そんな中でも古宇利島からの眺めは素晴らしかった。
美ら海水族館も素晴らしかった。子供たちで無くても興奮します。水族館を回り終える頃、イルカと鯨のショーもスタート。天気も良くなりエメラルドビーチ、海の色が鮮やかに変わった行くのも見えました。
ゆっくりお昼を食べたい方は別として、色々見たい方は、ショーを見ながら食べれるようお弁当を用意すると良いですね。売店もあります。
琉球村の広場では、頭にビール瓶(オジー自慢のオリオンビール?)を載せたおばあちゃん-失礼!お姉さんーと一緒に踊りの輪にも加わり楽しみました。
観光バスの魅力のひとつには歴史や伝説、この土地の人々の生活など色々聞く事ができることです。歌ってくださった歌の歌詞に沖縄の歴史や思いが、とても心伝わって来ました。
とても沖縄が好きになりました。60%がリピーターだと言うのもわかる気がします。

I participated on March 6. I think there were about 25 participants.
Unfortunately, the weather was not great, but at the key sightseeing spots, it cleared up nicely, and I was able to fully enjoy the beautiful blue sea of Okinawa. Especially, Kouri Island was breathtaking.
The timing at the sightseeing points was just right; it wasn't too rushed or too slow, allowing us to have a great time.
I was also impressed by the guide's singing. I thought it was a CD, but then I noticed the guide was singing as others were applauding, and my sister and I exchanged "Wow!" and had a lot of fun. Additionally, the driver was also very skilled at playing the sanshin, and during a mini Okinawa show with the guide, we got to hear some wonderful folk songs.
I truly think this is a very enjoyable tour that captures the best of Okinawa. If anyone is hesitating, I highly recommend participating. This tour is a huge, huge, huge satisfaction for just ¥4,980!!!
3月6日に参加させていただきました。
参加者は25人ぐらいだったと思います。
あいにくの天気だったのですが、観光する要所?できちんと晴れて、沖縄の青くて素敵な海を満喫する事ができました。
特に古宇利島は絶景でした。
観光ポイントでは時間は丁度良い感じで時間を余すわけでもなく、キツキツでもなく楽しめました。
ガイドさんの歌がうまい事にも感動でした。
CDだと私は思っていたのですが、他の方が拍手をしていてガイドさんが歌っていることに気がつき、妹と「すげー」と言い合って楽しい思いをさせていただきました。
さらに運転手さんも三線がすごく上手く、ガイドさんとのミニ?沖縄ショーでは素敵な民謡を聞かせていただきました。

Traveling between locations inevitably takes time, but I had a great time at each place. If I could wish for anything, it would be to have a bit more time, but given the amount of travel, I understand it can't be helped.
Both the driver and the guide were friendly, and I had a lot of fun. I recommend this for anyone visiting the main island for the first time.
集合場所には他のツアーのバスや参加者もたくさんだったので、見つかるかなぁと思っていたのですが、なぜかバスの運転手さんが見つけて声をかけてくださり、無事乗せてもらえました。
各所への移動はどうしても時間がかかってしまうのですが、それぞれの場所はとても楽しく過ごせました。欲を言えばもう少し時間がほしかったですが、移動が多いので仕方がないと思います。
運転手さんもガイドさんも気さくな方で、とても楽しく過ごせました。初めて本島を訪れる方にはお勧めです。

This was my first time using alan.1 in Japan. Renting a car is convenient, but this time I wanted to relax and enjoy myself! So, instead of renting a car, I opted for a bus tour and monorail to explore Okinawa.
The tour required nearly a two-hour drive by car, but we enjoyed a comfortable bus seat with a beautiful Okinawan guide named Miyagi, who entertained us with stories and quizzes about Okinawa throughout the trip.
The main highlight, the Churaumi Aquarium, was so vast that I lost track of time. Although we had 2 hours and 20 minutes of free time, it flew by. During this time, our guide informed us of the start times for the dolphin shows and other attractions, so those who want to see everything efficiently can do so.
We visited various places, including Ryukyu Village and the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, and since the entrance fees were included, it was very convenient.
On the way back, we stopped at DFS Galleria, where we could enjoy shopping. We arrived back at 6:30 PM, and it was truly a relaxing and enjoyable day.
Next time, I would like to try a tour of the pineapple fields.
今回日本でalan.1を初めて利用しました。
レンタカーも便利だけど、今回は楽してゆっくり遊びたい!
と思い、レンタカーを借りず、バスツアーとモノレールで沖縄観光しました。
今回のツアーは車では片道2時間近く運転しなければならず、快適なバスシートで、宮城さんという沖縄美人がガイドを努めてくださり、終始沖縄の話やクイズなど私達を楽しませてくれました。
一番の目的の美ら海水族館は、圧倒的な大きさに時間を忘れてしまいました。2時間20分という自由時間ですが、あっという間でした。この時間ですが、イルカショーなど開始時間をガイドさんが教えてくれるので、効率良く見たいと思う人は見れますよ。
琉球村やお菓子御殿等いろいろな場所を観光させて頂いて、入場料込みですので、楽チンでした。
帰りはDFSギャラリアで降りて買い物も楽しめました。
夜18時半に到着しましたが、本当に体も楽で、楽しい一日でした。
今度はパイナップル畑のツアーに行ってみたいと思いました。

During the New Year, my family participated in a bus tour. Every place we visited on the tour became a wonderful memory. In particular, Kouri Island was beautiful, and I’m really glad we could join this bus tour.
On the bus, the tour guide sang songs, presented a paper play, and shared various stories about Okinawa's history. There was so much I didn’t know, and it was very educational.
It was an absolutely fantastic bus tour. Thank you very much. I confidently recommend this wonderful bus tour to many people; I hope everyone gets to experience it!

I couldn't drive, so I signed up for a bus tour. We were able to efficiently visit both the Churaumi Aquarium and Kouri Island, and there was no hassle with transportation. Considering the cost of rental cars, gas, and entrance fees, 4,900 yen is a great deal! During the bus ride, the guide introduced Okinawa's history, dialect, and folk songs through picture storytelling and quizzes, which was really fun! Thank you very much!
車の運転ができないので、バスツアーに申し込みました。
美ら海水族館も古宇利島も効率よく回れて、移動のしんどさもないので、レンタカー代とかガソリン代、入場料を考えると、4900円はお得!!
バスでの移動中はガイドさんが紙芝居やクイズで、沖縄の歴史や方言や民謡を紹介してくれて、楽しかったです☆
ありがとうございました!

I participated on a wonderfully sunny day. The sunlight was strong, and I felt like I was in a tropical paradise. What I was looking forward to the most was the aquarium. It has a large scale with various exhibits, and I think it's definitely worth a visit.
すごい快晴の日に参加しました。日差しが強く南国を感じました。一番楽しみにしていたのは水族館です。スケールも大きく、いろんな展示場があり一見の価値があると思います。

As part of my summer trip to Okinawa, I participated in a tour of the Churaumi Aquarium. While it is possible to go by rental car, I decided to join a tour where I could relax and not worry about the drive. The Churaumi Aquarium is very spacious, and the large tanks are home to a variety of beautiful fish. I think it's definitely a spot you should visit at least once when you come to Okinawa.
夏の沖縄旅行の一環で美ら海水族館のツアーへ参加しました。レンタカーで行くことも可能ですが、道中寝ることもでき安心できるツアーへ参加することにしました。美ら海水族館は非常に広く、大きな水槽にはいろんな魚がいて本当に美しい。 沖縄にきたら是非一度はいってみるべきスポットだと思います。
