All Reviews for Top Okinawa Attractions

When searching for tours, I wrote this as a reference for those who might be concerned, as I saw in past experiences that there were no restroom breaks for three hours on the way back. I was worried about that when choosing a tour. I'm glad to hear that the experiences shared in the past have been communicated to the tour company!

The tour was quite hectic but very enjoyable. The Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium involves quite a bit of walking, so it might be tough for those who are not used to exercising. I think everyone has covered the details of the tour, so I'll skip that. For those going during the season starting in December, the maximum temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and minimum of 15 degrees feels quite cold. Especially at the places visited during the tour, the sea breeze is strong and it can be very chilly, so winter clothing is definitely appropriate. On International Street, everyone was dressed for winter; there were no people in short-sleeved T-shirts or light clothing like long-sleeved T-shirts with hoodies.

ツアー探しの時に、過去の体験談で帰りの３時間トイレ休憩がなかったとあったので迷われる方がいれば参考にと思い書きました。
ツアー選びの時に私はそこが大丈夫か！？っと気になったので。
過去の書いてくださった体験談がツアーの主催会社に伝わったようでなによりです！！

ツアーは、バタバタしてますがとても楽しめました。美ら海水族館はけっこう歩くので運動不足の人はしんどいかも。
ツアーの内容については皆さん書かれていると思うので省くとして、１２月からの季節に行く方の参考に・・・・、沖縄の最高気温１７度、最低15度は体感では寒いです。特にツアーでまわるところは海風が強くすごく寒く真冬の服装で問題ないです。国際通りなども、皆冬の服装で半袖TシャツやロンTにパーカーなどといった薄着の人はいませんでした。

Everyone was either unable to swim or felt anxious, but thanks to the instructor's excellent guidance, we were able to enjoy ourselves in the end. Thank you very much.

全員泳げないまたは不安なメンバーでしたがインストラクターさんが上手に指導して頂いたお陰で最後は無事楽しむ事が出来ました。ありがとうございました。

As soon as you exit the arrival gate, there is a counter on the right, which was easy to find. I definitely planned to visit the Churaumi Aquarium during my trip, so it was convenient to be able to exchange my tickets right when I arrived at the airport. The whale sharks are breathtaking!

到着口を出てすぐ右にカウンターがあるのでわかりやすかったです。旅行の中で美ら海水族館には絶対に訪れる予定だったので、空港に到着したタイミングで引き換えができ便利でした。ジンベイザメは圧巻です！

I had visited the Churaumi Aquarium multiple times, so this time I wandered around the surrounding facilities. I enjoyed the planetarium and the rare tropical plants. Personally, I wish I had more time to spend at American Village.

美ら海水族館は何度も訪れていたので今回は周辺の施設をウロウロ見て回りました。プラネタリウムや熱帯の珍しい草花を堪能させて頂きました。
個人的にはアメリカンビレッジの滞在時間がもっとあったらいいなぁと思ってます。

Purchasing in advance and just showing it at the information desk made everything smooth. Entry was also smooth with just the code display. Plus, the price was cheaper than the regular price. I think it's a service that anyone going there should definitely buy.

購入も事前に買って、案内所で見せるだけでスムーズ、入場もコード掲示だけでスムーズ。そして値段も定価より安い。行く人は買うしかないサービスだと思いました。

We gathered at the bus stop in front of the Southwest Tourist Hotel, but there was no place for the bus to stop in front of the hotel. Instead, there was a space under the Monorail Makishi Station where one bus could park, and that’s where the tour bus was waiting for us.

At the Churaumi Aquarium, there were times when events overlapped, and the dolphin show coincided with the feeding time for the whale sharks. We prioritized the whale shark feeding and were thrilled to see Jinta, who is 29 years old, eating almost vertically.

私達は南西観光ホテル前のバス停での集合でしたが、ホテル前にはバスが停まれる場所は無く、モノレール牧志駅下の道にバスが一台停車出来るスペースが有り、そこでツアーバスは待っていてくれました。
美ら水族館では、イベントの時間が重なる事があり、イルカのショーとジンベイザメの餌やり時間が重なっていました。私達はジンベイザメの餌やりを優先し、29歳のジンタ君がほぼ垂直で餌を食べる姿を見れて感激でした

Since it was a bus tour, the stay at each location was somewhat short, but for someone like me who is not good at driving, the bus tour was very helpful. The bus guide's way of speaking was polite and cheerful, and it was really nice.

バスツアーなので
各所滞在時間がやや短いものの
車の運転が苦手な私にとっては
バスツアーはありがたかったです。
バスガイドさんの話し方は丁寧で朗らかで、とてもよかったです(⁠・⁠∀⁠・⁠)

I was anxious until we met up on-site, but the service was good and I felt reassured. Thank you very much. I would like to use it again next time.

現地で合流するまで不安でしたが、対応もよく安心しました。ありがとうございました。次回も利用したいです。

I signed up for this tour because there was no one to drive the car. It was great to be able to quickly visit famous tourist spots. I also appreciated that it was all free time instead of group activities. If I had to be picky, since we went to Kouri Island, it would have been perfect if we could have also visited Heart Rock.

車を運転できる人がいなかったので、このツアーに申し込みました。
有名な観光地をサクッと観光できて良かったです。
団体行動ではなく、すべて自由行動なのも良かったです。
欲を言えば、せっかく古宇利島に行ったのでハートロックも行けたら文句なしでした。

I participated in snorkeling and an introductory diving experience with a friend, and we were well taken care of! The Blue Cave was breathtaking with its high transparency, and we were able to see fish up close! I did get a bit seasick, but the staff was very considerate, which made me feel at ease.

The introductory diving was also a safe experience! They explained about the fish, and the fun time flew by in no time! Thank you for taking so many photos and videos ^_^

All the staff were very kind, and the shop had a comfortable atmosphere! The shower booths were clean, and there was space to do makeup, so it was fine even if we had plans afterward!

When I visit Okinawa again, I definitely want to book activities at this shop! Thank you very much ♡

シュノーケリングと体験ダイビングで、友人と２人で参加しお世話になりました！
青の洞窟は透明度の高さに感動し、魚も近くで見ることができました！波酔いしてしまいましたが、担当スタッフの方が気遣ってくださり、安心しました。
体験ダイビングも、安心して潜ることができました！魚の説明をしていただいたり、楽しい時間があっという間に終わってしまいました…！
写真や動画も沢山撮っていただき、ありがとうございました^_^

スタッフの方も皆さんとても親切で、ショップの居心地も良かったです！
シャワーブースも綺麗で、化粧もできるスペースがあり、その後予定があっても大丈夫です！

また沖縄に行った際は、ぜひこちらのショップでアクティビティを申し込みたいと思います！ありがとうございました♡

Just going to the Churaumi Aquarium costs 5,000 yen round trip by bus (3,000 yen with a discount ticket) plus the entrance fee of 1,750 yen. Additionally, you can visit Kouri Island, Manzamo, and American Village all in one day, making it a great value. I highly recommend it. I also made friends with people from various countries while sharing rides.

美ら海水族館に行くだけでも、路線バスなら往復5000円【割引切符でも3000円】+美ら海水族館入場料金1750円
更に古宇利島、万座毛、アメリカンビレッジ迄1日で周遊でき、コスパが最高にいいので、ぜひお勧めします。いろんな国々の方々との相乗りで友達も出来ました。

I originally planned to stay at a hotel in the north, so I was able to reach my final destination while enjoying a bus tour. It's a bit disappointing that the weather turned bad along the way, but I’m glad I participated as both the tour guide and the driver were kind!

もともと北の方のホテルに泊まる予定だったので、バスツアーで遊びながら最終目的地に到達することが出来ました。途中で天気崩れたのが少し残念ですが、ツアーガイドさんや運転手の方も優しく参加して良かったです♪

Everything are good , recommence , resonable price

Every is good, bus and escort guide very nice ...all spot arrive and depart in time ...good service

This year, there were fewer typhoons, and the coral bleaching has progressed, but there were still many fish, and it had a charm that you don't find on the main island. The diving time was just right at 25 minutes, allowing us to enjoy the fish and coral reefs without regrets. Even though it was November and winter, the water was warm.

今年は台風が少なくサンゴの白化が進んでいるとのことでしたが、やはり魚も多く、本島にはない魅力がありました。
ダイビング時間は25分間とちょうどよい時間で、悔いなくお魚やサンゴ礁を見ることができました。11月という冬でしたが、水中は温かったです。

There was a lot to see, but the bus ride back from Churaumi Aquarium to Naha City took three hours, and there were no bathroom breaks during that time. Even in November, the air conditioning was on, so not being able to go to the bathroom for three hours could be quite tough. Other than that, it was good.

内容が沢山でしたが、美ら海水族館から那覇市内までの帰りのバスが3時間かかり、その間トイレ休憩が全くありませんでした。11月でも冷房がついてるため、3時間トイレに行いけないのは、とても辛いかも。それ以外は良かったです

I had a lot of plans in Okinawa, and I was grateful to exchange my discount tickets right at the airport. It was also great that I could enter the Churaumi Aquarium smoothly for the first time! Thank you very much.

沖縄での予定がたくさんあり、空港ですぐに割引チケットを交換していただきありがたかったです。
初めての美ら海水族館もスムーズに入場できたのでよかったです！
ありがとうございました。

Although the weather was looking ominous due to the approaching typhoon, the rain stopped when we arrived, and we were able to take memorable photos.

台風が近付いているという事で　雲行きの怪しい中の観光でしたが　到着すると雨が上がり思い出の写真も撮れました

As soon as I entered, I went to Gyokusendo Cave, and even though it was November, I felt a bit sweaty. The droplets dripping from the stalactites were a little uncomfortable. The show had two types, and each lasted about 30 minutes, which was pleasantly long, allowing us to enjoy it thoroughly. For lunch, I ordered the "Okinawa Soba Set" in the photo, which included Okinawa soba, mozuku vinegar, and something like seasoned rice that I forgot the name of, all for 990 yen, which I thought was cheap! Also, the drinks in the photo after exiting the cave were iced coffee for 300 yen and mango smoothie for 700 yen, which also felt inexpensive! Including the souvenir shop, it was a lot of fun, and before I knew it, I had spent over five hours there!

入り口を入りすぐに玉泉洞に行きましたが、１１月だというのに少し汗ばむ感じで、鍾乳石から垂れてくる雫がチョッ～ト気持ち悪かったです(;^_^A。
ショーは２種類で１回３０分程行うのがいい意味で長く、たっぷり見れて楽しかったです。
昼食は写真の「沖縄そば定食」を注文しましたが、沖縄そば、もずく酢、名前を忘れましたが炊き込みご飯のようなものがついて９９０円は安いと思いました！あと、洞窟を出た後の写真のドリンクは、アイスコーヒー３００円、マンゴースムージー７００円やはり安く感じました！お土産売り場も含め、とても楽しく、気づくと５時間以上滞在していた感じです！

I enjoyed watching the performance while the food was being seasoned. It was a great memory for my friend, as we got to enjoy not only the steak but also Okinawan vegetables like purple sweet potatoes and papaya. I'm glad we chose the dinner option.

調理される方が味付けされる時のパフォーマンスが見ていて楽しかったです。ステーキだけでなく紅芋やパパイヤなど沖縄の野菜もいただけてよい思い出になったと友人に喜ばれました。ディナー付きを選んでよかったです。

It was my first time visiting here in November, and as usual, it was crowded, with many students, possibly on a school trip. There were also many foreign visitors. In the darker areas of the facility, there were no staff members, and it was crowded with strollers and people, so it was necessary to be careful and check your surroundings while exploring. The dolphin show was held outdoors due to construction in the main facility, but the sun was very hot, and some people used parasols or left their seats midway, unable to endure it. We also felt like we were enduring while sweating! The feeding show at the large aquarium was very impressive, but it overlapped with the dolphin show, which was disappointing as we couldn't make the most of our time.

１１月にここを訪れたのは初めてでしたが、いつも通りの混雑で、修学旅行なのか、学生が多くいました。外国の人も多かったです。館内の暗い場所では係員などもいなく、ベビーカーと人でいっぱいで、周りをよく確認しながら見学する必要があります。イルカのショーは本来の施設が工事中のため、屋外で行っていましたが、太陽がとても暑くて、日傘をさす人や、耐えられなくなってか、途中で席を立つ人もいました。私たちも汗をかきながら我慢して見学した感じです！大水槽での餌をあげるショーはとても見ごたえがあっていいのですが、イルカのショーと重なり、時間を有効に使えず残念でした。

I'm really glad I was able to visit the spots I wanted on my third tour. Although time was a bit tight, I got to see the Eisa show at Ryukyu Village, and I was able to buy a few things I wanted at Okashi Goten. What satisfied me the most on this tour were Manzamo and the beach at Banta Cafe. Both had amazing views, and the sunset at Banta Cafe was particularly moving. Next time I come to Okinawa, I want to visit Banta Cafe again.

3回目のツアー参加で行きたいスポットに行けたのが本当によかった。時間は少し惜しかったが琉球村ではエイサーショーを見れ、御菓子御殿では欲しいものもそこそこ買えた。このツアーで満足したのは、万座毛とバンタカフェのビーチだった。どちらも景色が最高だったし、特にバンタカフェのサンセットはとても感動的だった。
次に沖縄に来る際はまた、バンタカフェに行きたい。

I was worried about the weather, but it turned out that it didn't rain and we were able to go. I felt very relieved to have an instructor with us. The water was so beautiful that we even saw sea turtles, making it a lifelong memory.

天気が心配でしたが、無事雨も降らずに行けますとのこと　インストラクターの方がついてくれてとっても安心でした　海の中は綺麗すぎて海亀もみれて、一生の思い出になりました

I was very satisfied with the efficient tour of the sightseeing spots in the Chubu region. The guide was very talkative and sang beautifully, making the atmosphere in the vehicle lively!

中部の観光スポットを効率的に巡ることができ大満足です。ガイドさんがお喋り上手な方で、素敵なお声で歌も歌ってくださり車内は大盛り上がりでした！

I received the Churaumi Aquarium tickets at Naha Airport. The exchange location was easy to find, and I was assisted right away. Since there was no need to buy them on the way, I was able to go without wasting any time.

那覇空港で美ら海水族館のチケット受領しました。
引き換え場所も分かりやすく直ぐに対応してもらいました。
行く途中で買う必要が無いので、時間の無駄なく行けました。

This time, I wanted to travel to Okinawa without renting a car, so I booked a bus tour. The stay times at each location were somewhat long or short, making it difficult to spend time as I wished, but it was nice to not have to worry about traffic during the travel time.

今回はレンタカーを借りずに沖縄旅行に行きたくて、バスツアーを予約しました。
それぞれの場所での滞在時間が、微妙に長かったり、短かったりで、思うように時間を過ごすのが難しかったですが、移動時間は渋滞等を気にせずに過ごせたのは良かったです。

I was able to cover the main tourist spots compactly and enjoy a full day. I thought it was a great experience for my first trip to Okinawa. The time allocation was just right, and I was able to spend the day without feeling rushed. I boarded in Naha, but there were several designated pick-up and drop-off locations (hotels) along the way, and we got off at a hotel in between. It was helpful that we could get around without renting a car. Additionally, the guide's explanations were detailed, and I gained a lot of interesting tidbits. Thank you very much.

主要な観光地をコンパクトに網羅して、1日楽しむことが出来ました。初めての沖縄旅行にとても良いと思いました。時間配分も適度で、時間に追われることなく過ごせました。那覇から乗車しましたが、途中いくつか乗降設定場所（ホテル）があり、我が家は途中のホテルで下車しました。レンタカーを借りなくても移動でき、助かりました。またガイドさんの説明が詳しく、豆知識が増えました。ありがとうございました。

I had a fulfilling snorkeling experience! I saw a turtle! The sea was beautiful! No problems at all. The boat was great too! They even took photos for me!

充実したシュノーケルができたよ！カメ見れたし！海が綺麗だった！なんの問題もなし。船もよし！写真もとってくれた♪

I appreciated that the tour took me to places I wanted to visit. It was great to see both new locations and places I had been to in the past after a long time, especially with such nice weather. The male tour guide had a very kind way of speaking and remained calm no matter what happened, which left a very good impression. More than half of the tour participants were from overseas, and as mentioned in other reviews, some people were late returning to the meeting point, casually laughing and walking back to the bus, and even brought soft serve ice cream back despite the no food or drink rule on the bus. I think if someone is easily irritated by such laxity with time, a sightseeing tour might not be suitable for them. Personally, I enjoyed the tour until the end thanks to the tour guide's kind support, which helped cover for those issues. I would like to participate in other tours as well.

ツアーなら行きたい場所に連れて行ってもらえるのが良かった。初めての場所や昔行った事のある場所も久々に観に行けて天気もよくて楽しかったです。添乗員の男性もとても優しい話し方で何があっても落ち着いた対応でとても好印象でした。ツアー客の半分以上は海外の方でしたが、他の口コミにもありましたがやはり集合時間に帰ってこないで普通に笑って歩いてバスに戻ってきていて車内での飲食不可でもソフトクリーム持って帰ってきたりと時間にルーズな事にいちいちイラついてしまう人には観光ツアーは不向きかと思いました。個人的にはそれをカバーしてくれるだけと添乗員さんの優しい対応があったので最後まで楽しめました。また他のツアーにも参加してみたいです

Due to the approaching typhoon, the waves were somewhat high, but the staff ensured our safety, allowing us to go out to sea with peace of mind. Additionally, the conversations with the staff while we were out at sea were enjoyable and created great memories.

台風が近付いていたせいもあり多少、波が高かったのですがスタッフの方が安全に対応していただけたので安心して海に出る事ができました。また海に出てからのスタッフの会話も楽しく良い思い出になりました。
