All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

Yuri, our tour guide, was incredibly entertaining and knowledgeable, teaching us not only about the creatures but also about the history of Miyako Island, leaving us parents in continuous amazement. Listening to the stories while observing the ecology of Miyako's wildlife was truly a "living lesson."

Even our elementary school children were captivated, and they were thrilled by the coconut crab right in front of them! It was much larger than it appeared in photos, impressive yet somehow humorous, and the more we looked, the more fascinating it became.

If you're going to Miyako Island, you absolutely must experience this tour! It was a thoroughly satisfying night that the whole family enjoyed.

ツアーガイドのゆうりさんがとにかく面白く更には博識で、生き物だけでなく宮古島の歴史までたっぷり教えてくれて、
親の私たちも驚きの連続。
宮古の生き物の生態を実際に見ながら聞く話はまさに“生きた授業”でした。

小学生の子どもたちも夢中になって耳を傾け、目の前のヤシガニには大興奮！
写真で見るよりずっと大きくて、
迫力満点なのに、どこかユーモラスで、
見れば見るほど魅力的でした。

宮古島に行くなら、このツアーは絶対に体験してほしい！
家族みんなで楽しめる、大満足の夜でした。

We were taken to various spots where we could see sea turtles, beautiful coral, and plenty of fish. We had ample time to dive at each location, making for a very fulfilling snorkeling experience. Due to the tides, Barasu Island was more visible in the afternoon than in the morning, so we were able to stop by again on our way back, allowing us to enjoy it twice.

The captain was very friendly and made the trip enjoyable. He also provided delicious lunch boxes, tea, and brown sugar. The staff kindly called us the night before to inform us that the Ishigaki-Uehara port was canceled, advising us to take the ferry to Ohara port instead, which was excellent service. We were also able to use the shower at our accommodation, which was equipped with shampoo and conditioner, making it very convenient.

I definitely plan to recommend this to my friends.

海亀が見られるスポット、サンゴが綺麗なスポット、魚がたくさんいるスポット…色んな所に船を回してくださり、それぞれ潜る時間もしっかりあったので、とても充実したシュノーケルを楽しむことができました。バラス島は潮の満ち引きの関係で午前よりも午後の方が浮き出てきたので、帰路にも寄ってくださって、二度楽しめました。
また、船長さんがとても気さくな方で楽しく、お昼も美味しいお弁当やお茶、黒糖など用意してくださっていました。前日の夜には、石垣ー上原港が欠航したため当日は大原港行きに乗るようスタッフの方からご丁寧に電話も頂き、サービスも最高でした。宿のシャワーをお借りすることもでき、シャンプー・リンスなども完備されていたのでとても有り難かったです。
ぜひ友人にも勧めようと思います。

This time, I participated in a bus tour at my grandmother's request. It was rainy in the morning, but we thoroughly enjoyed Dazaifu Tenmangu, Yufuin, and Kamado Jigoku! We also got to eat a lot of delicious food ❤️ The ropeway depends on the weather, but I think other places can be enjoyed even if it rains! The driver, our guide Mr. Chong, and the locals were all very kind and wonderful people, making it a very satisfying trip for my chatty grandmother. The foreign participants were also very well-mannered, making it a pleasant bus tour. If I have the chance again, I would love to participate! Thank you very much.

今回おばあちゃんの希望でバスツアーに参加させて頂きました。
午前中は雨でしたが、太宰府天満宮、湯布院、かまど地獄をとても堪能できました！美味しいものもいっぱい食べれました❤️
ロープウェイはお天気次第ですが、他のところは雨が降っていても充分に楽しめると思います！
運転手の方、ガイドのチョンさん、地元の方もとても優しく良い方ばかりで、おしゃべりのおばあちゃんも大満足の旅でした。
一緒に参加していた外国の方々も、マナーがとてもよく、気持ちの良いバスツアーになりました。
また、機会があれば参加させて頂きます！
ありがとうございました。

The heavy rain in the morning stopped, and on the way there, I encountered a family of monkeys. Walking through the forest, which sparkled beautifully after the rain, the air released from the trees was delightful, and I felt my skin rejoice in the moist atmosphere. It started to rain lightly from Shiratani Lodge, but I was able to enjoy the fantastical moss-covered forest wrapped in mist. The guide not only provided various explanations but also maintained a perfect walking pace, allowing us to enjoy the forest bathing leisurely and descend safely while it was still light, making for a joyful walk through the divine forest. Thank you! 😊

午前中の大雨はあがり、往路では猿の親子連れに出会いました　雨上がりで潤ったキラキラと美しく輝く森の中を歩き、木々から放たれる空気も美味しく、しっとりとした空気に肌も喜んでいると感じました　白谷小屋から雨になりましたが、小雨程度で霧に包まれた幻想的な苔むす森を楽しむことができました　ガイドさんは、いろんな説明をして下さるだけでなく、そのちょうどよい歩行ペースのおかげで、森林浴をゆっくり楽しみつつ、明るいうちに下山ができ、神々しい森の中を安心して楽しく歩くことができました　ありがとうございました😊

The weather was great, and the course was good. Especially, our guide, Ryu, was wonderful; he was fluent and knowledgeable in Chinese, English, and Japanese. I was the only Japanese participant, but he explained everything diligently in all three languages at the same ratio. I think he might be a graduate student studying abroad, but he was very considerate towards me, the oldest participant, and I am grateful for that.

お天気にも恵まれ、コースも良かった。特にガイドのリュウさんが素晴らしく、中国語、英語、日本語、どれも流暢で博識。日本人は私1人でしたが3ヶ国、どれも同じ比率で一所懸命、説明してくれました。たぶん留学の大学院生かと思いますがが、参加者最長老らしい私に、色々気遣い頂き、感謝です。

The weather was unavoidable, but descending the stairs in the heavy rain at Takachiho was tough. The guide prioritized Chinese, followed by English, and even though there were four Japanese guests, the information provided to us felt minimal, making us feel somewhat neglected in terms of service. The guide from the previous day provided explanations in three languages, and all were delivered with the same level of detail and care, even though there was only one Japanese person.

天候はいたしかたありませんが、土砂降りのなか高千穂で、ひたすら下り階段は辛かったです。ガイドも中国語が優先で次に英語、日本人客も4人はいたのに案内は最後に少しで、サービスとしては粗末に扱われた感じ。前日のガイドさんは3ヶ国語で、どちらも同じ比率できっちりと丁寧な説明でした。日本人は1人でしたが。

Since it was my first time in Osaka, I was able to get a sense of distance and location by visiting the main tourist spots by bus. The guide's explanations were also very helpful.

はじめての大阪だったので、まずはバスでの主要な観光地をめぐることで距離感と位置をつかむことができました。ガイドさんの説明もためになります。

As of April 29, 2025, I visited the newly opened café "Kachōfūgetsu." It was enjoyable to hear about the local information along the way from Kanazawa.

2025年4月29日時点で今年開店したばかりの喫茶店「花鳥風月」があり早速行きました。
金沢からの道中で道すがらの土地情報を聞けて楽しかった

I had some concerns about the boarding location, so I called a few days prior, and they responded kindly. On the day of the event, they also took group photos at key points, adding another great memory. Thank you very much.

乗車場所に不安があったので数日前にお電話をしたところ丁寧に対応してくださいました。当日は要所要所で集合写真も撮っていただき良い思い出がまた一つ増えました。ありがとうございました。

It rained all day and the roads were congested, but it was incredibly fun! I can't express it any better than that! Thank you to the driver and the bus guide. This was my first time in Okinawa, but when I come back, I want to take the same tour route again!

終日雨でしかも道路は渋滞どうなるかと思ったけどめちゃくちゃ楽しかったあああの一言に尽きます！
運転手さんもバスガイドさんもありがとうございました。はじめて沖縄に来たけどまた来た時は同じルートでツアー来たいです！

Since we didn't have a car, we signed up for a tour! It was so much fun to visit places we couldn't have gone to on our own!

車がなかったのでツアーを申し込みました！自分たちじゃあいけない場所にも行けたのですごい楽しかったです！

While there are local buses for sightseeing in Nanki Shirahama, I opted for a taxi tour since I was with my elderly mother. We efficiently visited various attractions in the heat, had lunch, and were taken directly to the airport, all within two and a half hours. The driver mentioned that there aren't many taxis in the area, and especially on weekends, with inbound tourists, the local buses can be crowded and delayed. It was definitely worth it to hire a sightseeing taxi, even if it was a bit more expensive. The driver was also very kind. I recommend taking a taxi for sightseeing in Shirahama.

南紀白浜観光は路線バスもありますが
高齢の母もいたのでタクシー観光にしました。暑い中効率よく観光地をまわり、ランチをしてそのまま空港まで送ってもらい2時間半で楽しむ事ができました。
運転手さんも言っていましたが、ここら辺はタクシーは多くなく、特に土日はインバウンドもあり路線バスは乗れない上に、観光客が多くて遅れるそうです。
やはり、少し高くても観光タクシーを頼んでよかったです。運転手さんも親切な方でした。白浜観光にはタクシーをおすすめします。

I was able to see many unique creatures that can only be found in Ishigaki Island! The photo is of a habu snake. They provided us with rubber boots and insect repellent, so I could participate without any worries. The starry sky was also very beautiful, and I was extremely satisfied!

石垣島ならではの生き物がたくさん見れました！写真はハブです、長靴や虫除けもくばっていただいて不安なく参加できました。星空もとってもきれいで大満足です！

I participated with my 6-year-old and 9-year-old, and we got to see two coconut crabs and a purple land hermit crab! It was raining during the day, so I was worried about whether we would be able to see the starry sky, but it was beautiful. The coconut crabs were smaller than the ones I saw in Miyako Island, but their colors were very pretty. I wish we could have heard a bit more about the constellations and stars, but the guide was kind and we had a great time. Thank you!

６歳と９歳の子連れで参加して、ヤシガニ２匹とムラサキオカヤドカリに会えました！昼間は雨が降っていたので星空が見られるか心配でしたが、とても綺麗に見えました。ヤシガニは宮古島でみたものより小さかったですが、色がとてもきれいでした。星空については星座や星の説明がもう少し聞けたらよかったですが、ガイドさんは親切で楽しめました。ありがとうございました！

Thank you for taking us, a couple lacking in physical strength, to Jomon Sugi! The weather on the day was rainy, but we are really glad we came!!

体力に自身のない、夫婦を縄文杉まで連れって頂きありがとうございました！当日の天気は雨でしたが、本当に来て良かったです！！

During our first trip to Kumamoto as a couple, we used this service to explore the Takachiho and Aso areas.

The driver was very friendly and skilled at driving, and he provided a lot of guidance, incorporating stories about the geography and mythology.

The scheduling was perfect. Since we were coming from the Amakusa area the day before, he picked us up at the southernmost station in Kumamoto City and took us to Kumamoto Airport on our return. He adjusted the sightseeing spots and lunch places based on the weather and other conditions, and everything was right on time!

Initially, we considered renting a car, but later realized that we wouldn't have been able to experience so much in just one day on our own. We were really glad we used this service.

There are still many places we want to visit, so I plan to request this service again when we go to Kumamoto. Thank you very much!

2人で初めて熊本へ旅行した際、高千穂・阿蘇方面を観光する際に利用させて頂きました。

運転手さんはとても気さくで運転も上手く、地形や神話などのお話も盛り込んでたくさんガイドしていただけました。

スケジューリングも完璧で、前日は天草方面からのため、熊本市の南端の駅まで迎えにきて頂き、帰りは熊本空港まで送って頂きましたが、天候など状況に応じて観光スポットやランチのお店をプラン頂き、本当に見積もった時間でピッタリ！

当初は「レンタカーで」とも考えていましたが、「自分たちでは1日でこんなにたくさん回って体験できないなー」と後々に感じました。本当に利用させていただいてよかったです。

まだまだ行ってみたい場所もあるので、熊本へ伺った際にはまたお願いしようと思います。
本当にありがとうございました！

When my friend went last week, they could only see half of Mount Fuji, but they were lucky with the weather and got to see the beautiful clear Mount Fuji. The houtou udon for lunch was also delicious.

友人が先週行った時は、富士山が半分だけしか見えませんでしたが、お天気に恵まれて、晴天の綺麗な富士山がみれました。
お昼のほうとううどんも美味しかったです。

I made a reservation here, and on the day of the shoot, it was pouring rain, so I was about to give up. However, it cleared up at night, and I was able to take such wonderful photos! The photographer who assisted us was very supportive, and the children listened well, making the shoot go smoothly. Thank you so much, Hoshino! I would love to request your services again next time.

今回こちらを予約して当日、土砂降りの雨で諦めかけていたのですが夜になって晴れてこんなにも素晴らしいお写真を撮る事ができました！
担当して頂いたカメラマンさんがとてもサポートがうまく、子供たちもしっかりゆう事を聞いてスムーズに撮影できました。
星野さん本当にありがとうございました！
また次回もお願いしたいと思います。

We experienced this with our 5-year-old and 8-year-old. I was worried about seasickness on the high-speed boat, but they guided us to sit at the front where it was less bumpy, which made me feel at ease. The weather was great, and the mangroves at high tide were incredibly beautiful. I heard that you can see a lot of marine life at low tide, so I would like to visit again during that time.

Since it was our first free plan on Taketomi Island, I was concerned about getting around by bus and on foot, but we were able to visit Kaiji Beach, Kondoi Beach, Nishizaki Pier, and the Island we wanted to see. Our free plan started after 2 PM, and we had to return from Taketomi Port to Ishigaki Port by 5 PM, so our stay was short, and I wished we could have explored a bit more leisurely.

The meals were sufficient for our 5-year-old when shared. The water buffalo carts moved at different speeds, so we were guided to different carts for the ride to and from, which the kids really enjoyed, and it was great to take photos together.

5歳、8歳の子連れで体験しました。高速船の酔いが心配でしたが、前方が揺れると案内していただき、安心して乗ることが出来ました。
天候も良く、満潮時のマングローブは凄く綺麗でした。干潮時は生物等も良く見えるそうなので、干潮時もいつか行ってみたいと思います。竹富島では初のフリープランだったので、バスと徒歩で心配でしたが、行きたかったカイジ浜、コンドイ、西桟橋、Islandに行けました。14時過ぎ〜のフリープランで17時には竹富港から石垣港に戻らなければならなかったので、滞在時間が短く、もう少しゆっくりまわりたかったです。
食事は5歳児には取り分けで十分でした。水牛車は水牛車によって速度が違う為、行きと帰りと別の水牛車を案内してくれて、子供もとても楽しんでいて、写真も一緒に撮れて良かったです。

The arrangements were poor.
- Even though I only made a reservation for one day, it was double-booked and I was marked as participating for two days.
- I was late for the meeting time and had to wait for the pickup.
- The rental shoes were wet and uncomfortable. Furthermore, when I tried to put them on, a cockroach came out, which was frightening.
- There were not enough shoes and lights for the number of participants, and some groups had to wait for them to be delivered.

段取りが悪かった
・一日しか予約してないのに二重予約となってて二日間の参加にされてた
・集合時間に遅れてピックアップ
・貸し出しの靴が濡れていて気持ち悪かった。更に履こうとしたらゴキブリが出てきて怖かった
・参加人数分の靴もライトもなく、届けてもらうまで待たなければいけないグループがあった

Since the weather forecast predicted rain, I checked in advance whether the open bus roof would close, and was told to assume that it would most likely remain open. So, I participated fully prepared with a raincoat and a plastic bag for my belongings. However, at the meeting point lounge, I was informed that due to the rain from the previous day, they planned to operate with the roof closed. The roof was indeed closed, but I was able to enjoy the cherry blossoms from the windows. Since it was a simple roof, there were occasional drips from the joints, but it wasn't bothersome. Other buses from different companies passed by with their roofs open, but it seemed that the passengers on those buses couldn't face forward due to the strong rain and wind. I enjoyed the cherry blossoms, and it was also fun to see the scenery from a different height on the highway than usual. I would like to ride again during cherry blossom season next year.

天気予報が雨だったので、オープンバスの屋根が閉まるかどうか事前に確認したら十中八九屋根は閉まらないと思って下さいと言われたので、レインコートとバッグを入れるビニール袋など完全防備で参加しました。
ですが、集合場所のラウンジで前日からの雨で屋根を閉めて運行する予定とのご案内。屋根は閉まっていますが、窓から桜が十分楽しめました。簡易屋根なので、時折金具の継ぎ目から雫が垂れて多少濡れましたが、気にならない程度です。すれ違った他社のバスは屋根が空いたままで運行していましたが、雨風が強く乗車されている方は前を向いていられないようでした。
桜も楽しめましたが、高速道路が普段とは違う高さからの景色を見れて楽しかったです。また来年も桜の季節に乗車したいと思います。

I'm glad I participated in this tour. There were couples and solo participants as well. I've been to Okinawa several times, but I wanted to visit places I hadn't been to yet... The lunch was impressively delicious, and the scenery at the cape was wonderful. I really liked Daishi Forest Mountain. It was about a 30-minute course, but it was quite satisfying. There's also a longer course that lasts about 45 minutes. Luckily, it didn't rain while we were walking around.

このツアーに参加して良かった
夫婦や１人参加の方もいました
何度も沖縄は来てますが、まだ行った事のない場所へ行きたくて……
お昼は感動する美味しさ　岬は風景が素晴らしい　私は大石林山が気に入りました
30分くらいのコースでしたが見応えじゅうぶん　45分くらいの長いコースもあります
散策中は雨も降らなかったのでラッキー

The information provided during the bus ride was easy to understand, and the singing was great! Most importantly, when I reported that I had forgotten something at Manzamo during the first tour and needed to change where I would get off, the staff kindly said, "The bus does leave from there, but isn't it difficult? If it's just 5 or 10 minutes, we can stop by?" They also guided all the participants politely, allowing me to retrieve my forgotten item and safely return to the hotel. I was really glad to have such a kind crew member.

バスの中で案内してくれる内容も分かりやすいし、歌も上手でした！！何より私が最初のツアーの万座毛で忘れ物をしてしまって降りるところを変更すると言うことを報告した際に「そこからバスは出てるけど大変じゃない？5分10分だったら寄るよ？」と言ってくださり参加者の皆様にも丁寧に案内していただき忘れ物をとって無事ホテルに帰ることができました。本当に優しい搭乗員さんでよかったです。

It was a hot day, but traveling in the cool bus was stress-free and so comfortable. I was also informed about the highlights, making for a fulfilling sightseeing experience! Thank you for your help! ✨

暑い日でしたが涼しいバスでの移動はストレスなく楽ちんそのもの。見どころなども教えてもらい充実した観光になりました！お世話になりました✨

The guide was a veteran, knowledgeable about flowers, trees, and wild birds, with extensive experience in mountains across the country. While other guiding parties passed by, he would stop each time to share various insights about plants and animals, which I found incredibly valuable. He also meticulously calculated the walking order considering the participants' stamina and pace, and since we had extra time on the way back, he even added a visit to the emerald green riverbank, which was outside the original course! I would love to request this wonderful guide again for future courses.

担当ガイドさんがベテランで、花や樹木、野鳥全てに詳しく全国の山の経験も豊富で、他のガイドパーティが素通りしていく中、都度立ち止まって草木や動物など色々な知識を教えていただきとってもありがたかったです。また参加メンバーの体力や速さなどを考慮して歩く順番も緻密に計算されていて、帰りは時間が余ったので、本来はコース外のエメラルドグリーンの川辺遊びも追加していただきました！また他のコース行く時にもガイドをお願いしたいくらい素敵なガイドさんでした。

I used this service for my honeymoon. At first, I was a bit anxious as a beginner, but I wanted to see the sea turtles, so I made a reservation here. Teacher Yamachan was very kind and taught us how to breathe in the water, and he also casually shared information about sea turtles and personal stories, which made it a lot of fun. I hope to use this service again when I visit Miyako Island. Thank you for the amazing experience!

新婚旅行で利用させていただきました。
最初は初心者なので大丈夫かなあと不安もありましたが、ウミガメさんに会いたいと思いこちらを予約させていただきました。
やまちゃん先生がとても丁寧に海での呼吸の仕方などを教えてくださり、また、ウミガメのことやプライベートのお話も気さくにしてくださりとても楽しめました＾＾
また宮古島に行く時もお願いしたいなあと思ってます。最高の体験をありがとうございました♩

I was able to use it with peace of mind without any troubles. Thank you very much. I would like to use it again next time.

特にトラブルもなく、安心して利用できました。ありがとうございました。また、次回も利用したいと思います。。

This was my first time visiting Takayama and Shirakawa-go. It was a one-day course departing from and returning to Nagoya. The tour guide and the bus driver were wonderful, making the journey comfortable both ways. Just before arrival, the tour guide wrote notes on a map and explained it to each group. The driver was always smiling and had a great vibe.

As for the sightseeing spots, I can say they are "a must-visit at least once in your life." Especially in Shirakawa-go, I recommend the "interior tours" at several houses. I visited Meizenji, and it was incredibly fascinating to see the depth of history and culture!

初『高山・白川郷』でした。名古屋発着の１日コース。
添乗員さん＋バスの運転手さんがすばらしくて、行き帰りの行程も快適でした。
到着直前に、添乗員さんが地図に手書きの書き込みをつけて、一組ずつ説明して渡してくれます。運転手さんもいつも笑顔でいい感じの方。
観光地については、『人生で一度は訪れるべき』っていう感想です。特に白川郷では、数軒ある『内部見学』がオススメです。私は『明善寺』でしたが、奥深さがいろいろと見えてめちゃくちゃ興味深かったです❗️

The water buffalo was cute. It was very nice to leisurely cross over to Yufu Island, and the songs and sanshin that started along the way were wonderful. It was a relaxing and healing time.

水牛かわいかった。ゆったりと由布島に渡り途中で始まる歌と三線がとても良かったです。ゆったりと癒される時間

A bit difficult to access from Kyoto City, Amanohashidate and Ine. This time, I participated in a tour along with foreign visitors. We were the only Japanese. The guide mainly spoke English, but came to our seats to explain necessary information in Japanese.

The weather was nice that day, and we were able to enjoy the scenery of Amanohashidate and the quiet streets of Ine. In Amanohashidate, we had about two and a half hours of free time, and after a 20-minute cruise in Ine, we had about 30 minutes to explore freely.

While strolling in Amanohashidate, I went out to the beach and was healed by the beautiful and calm sea. Despite most participants being foreign, everyone gathered on time, making the experience very smooth.

京都市内からはちょっとアクセスしにくい天橋立と伊根。
今回、外国の方に混じってツアーに参加しました。日本人は私達のみ。ガイドさんは英語メインでしたが、必要なことは私達の座席まで来てくれ、日本語で説明してくれました。
当日は天気もよく、天橋立の景色や伊根の静かな街並みを楽しむことができました。
天橋立では2時間半ほどのフリータイム、伊根は20分程度のクルーズの後、30分ほど自由に散策という感じでした。
天橋立では散策しながら海水浴場へ出て、キレイで穏やかな海に癒されました。
外国の方がほとんどにもかかわらず、皆さん時間を守って集合していて、非常にスムーズでした。
