All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

Although the weather was unfortunate, it only drizzled occasionally, and the road conditions were fine, allowing us to enjoy a full day of sightseeing. I am very grateful for Kim's sincere support and guidance during the tour. Both his English and Japanese were excellent. I found the information he researched about AW and Kadena Air Base to be very interesting.

Since it was a group activity, it would have been nice to cooperate on meeting times, but it was a bit disappointing that we ran out of sightseeing time. The Banta Cafe was a clean and lovely space, but due to the weather, we couldn't see the sunset that day, and 50 minutes felt long. It would have been better if we could have extended our stay at the Ryukyu Village in Maejima, which had been shortened. The Eisa performance was impressive, and I wanted to soak in the afterglow and take a closer look at the relocated Okinawan-style buildings.

Visiting so many attractions is something special about traveling by bus, and it was enjoyable.

あいにくの天気でしたが、降るときもポツポツ程度で、道路状況も問題なく、１日観光を楽しめました。添乗のキムさんの誠実な対応、案内にたいへん感謝しています。英語も日本語も見事でした。ご自分で調べられたAWや嘉手納基地の情報もとても興味深く聴きました。
団体行動なので、集合時刻等を協力し合いたいところですが、少し観光時間が押したところが残念でした。バンタCafeは清潔で素敵な空間でしたが、この日は天候上、夕日を望めず、50分は長かったです。その分、縮まってしまっていた前地の琉球村滞在を長くしていただけるとよかったです。エイサーは圧巻で、余韻に浸りたかったし、移築された沖縄風建造物をじっくりと見たかったです。
盛りだくさんな観光地訪問はバス旅ならではで、楽しかったです。

I participated in a tour of the Sefa Utaki and the Gangala Valley. Sefa Utaki was a sacred place, and I had to be careful while walking because the ground was slippery after the rain. At Gangala Valley, I learned about the "Minatogawa people" from 20,000 years ago, which was very educational. I felt like I was exploring a cave with tropical plants and lamps. It was efficient to visit two places in the morning.

斎場御嶽とガンガラーの谷のツアーに参加しました。
斎場御嶽は神聖な場所でした、雨上がりで足元が悪く滑りやすいので注意して歩きました。
ガンガラーの谷は２万年前の人類「港川人」の説明を聞き勉強になりました。
南国の植物やランプを持って洞窟をまわり探検している気分でした。
午前中に2カ所まわれて効率的でした。

The bus tour was very comfortable. It's fine even if you're alone. The timing was just right and convenient. I would like to use it again when I have a little free time.

バスツアーなのでとても快適に過ごせました。1人でも問題ないです。時間も丁度よく、便利です。また、少し時間ができた時など利用したいです。

I used a sightseeing taxi for the first time. The guide took me to the places I wanted to go, and we had a great conversation, which was very enjoyable. I also indulged in a recommended Kyoto-style kaiseki lunch.

観光タクシーを初めて利用しました。ガイド付きで自分の行きたい所に連れて行って下さり、楽しいお話も出来てとても良かったです。ランチもおすすめの京都らしい懐石料理で堪能しました。

The bus guide's explanations were clear, and they provided detailed points and advice regarding the free time in advance, allowing us to use our time effectively. I was reminded of the advantages of bus tours. Although it was a half-day tour, I was very satisfied.

バスガイドさんの説明がわかりやすく、フリー時間に関しても事前に細かく注意点やアドバイスをしてくれたので時間を有効に使って動けました。これがバスツアーの利点だなと改めて感じました。半日ツアーでしたが、とても満足でした。

The person in charge was very kind and gave us many recommendations for sightseeing. It had been a while since I held hands with my husband, and although I was a bit nervous, it became the best memory! Thank you! 😊

担当の方も優しい方で、観光オススメなどたくさん教えて頂きました♪
久しぶりに旦那と手をつないだりして緊張もありましたが、最高の思い出になりました！ありがとうございます😊

This was my first time using the service. Last time, I used a different bus company, but this time, I received detailed explanations about various sights, songs, and maps from the window. Since lunch was not included, the information about takeout options and places where we couldn't take meal breaks was very considerate, making for a fulfilling day of travel. Thank you to the guide!

初めて利用させて頂きました。
前回は別のバス会社で利用しましたが、今回は車窓からの色々な説明や歌、地図での説明や見所についての時間の説明など細かく教えて頂きました。
ランチはついていないため、テイクアウト情報や食事時間が取れない観光地など、気配りが凄く良くて一日中充実した旅行となりました。
ガイドさんありがとうございました。

We had a lot of free time to spend in the villages. The guide and driver were both very experienced and well organized.

We loved the lunch in an traditional restaurant in a very small village. ( Only 9 houses).

We can highly recommend this trip!

This tour is great and convenient to see many of Okinawa's interesting points at once. It is really time-saving to have a bus (I think you will also end up saving money on trandportation). The guide speaks jamaonese, and even without understanding, I could tell she was great, because she was singing and acting the stories/info she was giving. I think the time managment was good, it was a lot of fun!

The dream island tour, with a mangrove cruise and the exquisite guidance of the water buffalo cart guide, along with an unexpectedly luxurious lunch on Yubu Island and a leisurely stroll on Taketomi Island, was truly moving and fulfilling, creating memories for a lifetime. I am also grateful to the local staff who supported the many activities.

憧れの島めぐりは、マングローブ遊覧、水牛車のガイドさんの絶妙な案内に加え、由布島での予想以上の豪華ランチ、竹富島でのゆっくり散歩で感激、満喫で、一生の思い出となりました。加えて盛りだくさんのアクティビティを支えた現地スタッフさんにも感謝です。

This bus tour is perfect for sightseeing on the island without a rental car. It also includes a delicious lunch. You can be dropped off at the airport on the way back.

レンタカーの予約無しで島の観光をしたい時にはピッタリのバスツアーです。美味しいランチもついてます。帰りは空港でおろしてもらえます。

Thanks to the driver's arrangements, we were able to visit all the destinations. The driver's responsiveness and thoughtfulness made for a wonderful and comfortable trip.

運転手さんの采配で、すべての目的地を回ることができました。
運転手さんの対応や気遣いが、とても素晴らしく心地良い旅行になりました。

The tour itself was guided by a kind person who provided explanations in simple Japanese just for the Japanese participants. Although it was mostly a Chinese-speaking guide, the Chinese and Taiwanese tourists also kept to the schedule, allowing us to return quickly.

ツアー自体はガイドの方は親切で日本人だけには簡単な日本語で案内してくれました。ほぼ中国語のガイドでしたが 中国人や台湾人の観光客も時間を守ってくれ早く戻ることが出来ました。

Iriomote Island is large, so we toured the island by sightseeing bus and traveled to Yubu Island by ox cart. During the ride, we enjoyed listening to the sanshin and songs, which made for an elegant moment. Additionally, since each ox has a different personality, there were explanations about that, making it a fun time. After that, we returned by ox cart, moved by bus, and took a boat to see the mangroves. The explanations were thorough, and I learned what kind of plants mangroves are. If you sit in the front, you might get splashed with water, so it might be a good idea to think about where to sit. It was a very good tour! 👍

西表島は、広いので観光バスで島内を観光し、由布島へは牛車で移動しました。移動中は、三線と唄が聴けて、優雅なひとときです。また、牛によって性格が違うので、その説明もあり、楽しい時間でした。その後、牛車で戻り、バスで移動し、船でマングローブを見学しました。説明も丁寧でマングローブがどういう植物かわかりました。前の方に座っていると水しぶきもかかったりしますので、座る場所を考えたほうが良いかもしれません。
とても良いツアーでした👍

I participated in the Sunrise Canoeing and Blue Cave Snorkeling. I was a bit anxious since I was going alone, but I had a great time chatting with the local staff and other tour participants! I rode solo on a two-person canoe, but it was easy to operate and I was able to paddle steadily. For snorkeling, even if you can't swim, the staff will pull you along with a float, so I was able to finish without any injuries.

I want to join the tour again the next time I come to Okinawa!

サンライズカヌーと青の洞窟シュノーケリングに参加しました。
一人参加だったので不安でしたが現地スタッフの方を始め、他のツアーのお客さんとも仲良く会話しながら楽しく参加できました！
カヌーは二人用ボードに一人で乗りましたが操作は簡単で安定して漕ぐことができました。
シュノーケリングは泳げなくてもスタッフの方が浮きで引っ張ってくださるので最後まで怪我なく終えることができました。

次に沖縄に来た時もまたツアーに参加したいです！

The driver spoke English and was well-versed in various photo spots and delicious lunch places, so I never encountered any issues during the trip. Even while traveling, there were plenty of interesting stories about history and famous sites, making the time fly by. They were also accommodating with extensions, allowing us to visit all the places we wanted to see. The guests from the UK praised the driver highly and expressed their desire to return to Kyoto.

運転手さんは英語も話せますし、各地のフォトポイントやおいしいランチのお店などを熟知しており、旅行中に困ることが一度もありませんでした。移動中も歴史や各名所の説明など、面白い話が尽きず、時間が過ぎるのを早く感じました。延長にも気軽に対応していただき、見たいところをすべて周ることができました。イギリスから来た方々も運転手さんをすごく褒めていて、また京都に来たいと言っていました。

An exhilarating jungle adventure!
It was a very satisfying tour where I could observe giant coconut crabs and various creatures in the jungle!
I would love to participate again when I come back to Ishigaki Island.

大迫力のジャングル探検！
巨大なヤシガニやジャングルの中の様々な生き物を観察することができとても満足なツアーでした！
また石垣島に来たら参加したいです。

The bus guide was very good, and in addition to the tour content, I learned various things about Okinawa, making for a rich travel experience. Both Sefa Utaki and Okinawa World were full of highlights, and the limestone caves and Eisa performances were particularly wonderful.

バスガイドさんがとても良く、ツアー内容の他に沖縄の様々なことを教えていただき、内容の濃い旅になった。
斎場御嶽、おきなわワールドともに見どころ満載で、鍾乳洞やエイサーショーは特に素晴らしかった。

They tailored the itinerary to my preferences in advance, and even during the drive to the sightseeing spots, there were detailed explanations about the destinations. At the sightseeing locations, there were clear and enjoyable explanations about the key points to see and great photo spots, making it a very satisfying trip. Thank you very much.

あらかじめどういう行程にするか希望に合わせてくださり、観光場所に向かう車内でも、行く先の詳しい解説がありました。観光場所でも、観るポイント、良い写真スポット、わかりやすくて楽しい解説があり、たいへん満足した旅行になりました。どうもありがとうございました。

While Shirakawa-go is famous in winter, spring is perfect for walking and exploring. A little snow remained on the ground, and the contrast between the cherry blossoms and the gassho-zukuri architecture was lovely.

冬の白川郷が有名ですが、春は歩きやすく散策には最高です。雪が地面に少し残り、桜と合掌造りのコントラストが素敵でした。

I did not go to Nikko myself, but on the occasion of Mr. Haydar, the president of a Turkish agency, visiting Japan for the first time, he expressed a desire to see historical sites. On March 25th, he participated alone in your Nikko tour. He was satisfied with everything he saw, including Toshogu Shrine, Kegon Falls, and Lake Chuzenji. He mentioned that everything was beautiful. Thank you very much. In particular, he received an explanation about the sculptures at Toshogu Shrine, such as the Sleeping Cat, and after returning to Tokyo, I received an explanation as well. He said that the next time I travel to Turkey on business, he would definitely take me to Cappadocia as a thank you for this time. After looking at the photos, one thing that caught my attention was that the water volume of Kegon Falls seemed low. I guess it changes depending on the season.

私が日光に行ったわけではなく、トルコの代理店社長、Haydar氏の初来日に際し、歴史のあるものが見たいとの事で、３月２５日、貴社の日光ツアーに１人で参加してもらいました。
東照宮、華厳の滝、中禅寺湖等、見るもの全てに満足しておりました。全てが美しかったとの事です。ありがとうございます。特に、東照宮は、眠り猫等の彫刻の説明を受けたからか、東京に戻ってきてから私が説明を受けました。次回、私がトルコに出張時は、今回のお礼に是非、カッパドキアに連れて行くと言ってました。写真を見せてもらって、１つ気になったのは、華厳の滝の水量が少なかったなと感じた次第です。時期によって変わるんでしょうね。

Four of us visited Hokkaido for the first time in April 2024. After spending a few days exploring the vibrant city of Sapporo, we ventured out to Abashiri—a more remote, rural part of the region. Wanting to make the most of our time and truly experience the natural beauty of the area, we booked a day-long tour through Veltra.

From start to finish, the experience far exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Taki, was exceptional—knowledgeable, organized, and incredibly attentive to both safety and enjoyment. The day was filled with unforgettable moments, from snowshoeing through serene landscapes to spotting local wildlife. Taki's passion for the area and his thoughtful guidance truly made the tour special.

We cannot recommend this tour—and especially Taki—highly enough. If you're visiting Abashiri and want a meaningful, well-curated adventure, this is absolutely the way to go.

The guide (Mr. Kiyuna) was easy to understand, and I was able to learn more about the current situation in Okinawa than what I see in newspapers and on TV. The driver was also kind, offering gentle words when getting on and off the bus, which made me happy. I usually don't use tourist buses when traveling, but I am grateful for this experience. I would like to visit Okinawa again! 😊

ガイドさん（喜友名様）のお話が分かりやすく、始めて訪れた沖縄の現状を新聞やテレビで見るより深く知ることができました。
運転手さんもバスの乗り降り時に優しく声をかけてくださり、嬉しかったです。旅行先で観光バスを利用しないのですが今回は乗せていただいて感謝しています。
また沖縄に行きたいと思っています😊

This was my first challenge in Yakushima. Before the tour started, I was informed about the time allocation for the round trip of 22 km, which allowed me to participate in the tour with a focused mindset. I was told by the guide that it was miraculous to have such clear weather on that day in the refreshing climate of April. I enjoyed the tour while happily chatting about Yakushima's history and the guide's overflowing love for Jomon Sugi. Thank you very much!

初屋久島で初挑戦。ツアー開始前に往復22kmのツアーで時間配分を教えて貰えたので、気を気を引き締めながらツアーに参加する事が出来ました。4月の爽やかな気候の中で当日のような快晴に恵まれるなんて奇跡的な事だとガイドの方に教えられながら、屋久島の歴史や縄文杉への溢れる愛情のあるお話など、楽しくお喋りをしながらツアーを楽しめました！どうもありがとうございました！

It was a tour that allowed us to fully enjoy southern Hokkaido from Sapporo! There were many inbound participants, and only two groups of Japanese, but the guide was multilingual, which made for a fun time!

札幌から南の北海道を存分に楽しめるツアーでした！インバウンドの方が多く参加されていて日本人は２組だけでしたが、ガイドの型が多国語を操る方で楽しい時を過ごせました！

One of my friends who was supposed to join me had a problem with their leg. They told me that since I came to Yakushima, I should go ahead, so I signed up alone. Moreover, on that day, I was the only participant in the afternoon tour of Shiratani Unsuikyo Mossy Forest. It was just me and one guide, so I had a personal guide and photographer. They led me at my own pace, took many photos at the scenic spots, and I was able to hear explanations about the trees and moss in the forest, as well as various stories about Yakushima. Since I had to take a detour, it took two hours to go and an hour and a half to return. Taking photos along the way served as breaks.

The weather was such that not a single drop of rain fell, so the ground was dry and easy to walk on. In mid-April, the temperature was just warm enough to break a light sweat at times. I was enjoying myself, but honestly, while walking, I thought, "I have to walk this path again to get back." I might have even mentioned this to the guide. However, the return trip felt quicker, so it was all good.

一緒に参加予定の友達が脚の具合が悪くなって。その友達にも、屋久島に来たのだから行ってくるべきと言われて、1人申し込み。しかも、その日の白谷雲水峡苔むす森午後のツアーは私1人。私1人にガイドさん1人。専属ガイド、専属カメラマン状態でガイドして頂きました。私のペースで先導して頂き、写真スポットでは写真を何枚も撮って頂き、もちろん、森の木々や苔の説明から、屋久島の諸々のお話まで聞くことができました。迂回路で行かなくてはならないので、行きは2時間、帰りは1時間半かかりました。所々で写真撮るのが休憩になります。
1粒の雨も降らない天気だったので足元が濡れていなくて歩きやすかったと思います。4月中旬、季節的にも時々汗ばむ程度。
楽しんでいたけど、本当は、歩き進みながら、「この道を、もう一度、歩かないと帰れない」と思っていました。思うだけでなく、ガイドさんにも話したかな。
でも、帰りは早く感じるから大丈夫です。

I walked through the jungle searching for creatures and enjoyed stargazing. Walking in the dark jungle at night was a bit scary, but it was fun to go with other groups and have a good time together. The night sky was filled with stars, with not a single cloud in sight. It was the most beautiful starry sky I've ever seen, and I was very satisfied.

ジャングルの中を歩いて生き物を探すのと星空鑑賞を行いました。
夜に暗いジャングルの中を歩くのはすこし怖かったですが、他グループの方と一緒でワイワイしながら行けたので楽しかったです。
星空は雲ひとつない満天の星でした。
人生で一番綺麗な星空で大満足です。

It was my first time experiencing mangroves, and it felt strangely different from Japan. The narrow paths winding through the mangroves were very thrilling and exciting.

初めてのマングローブでしたが、日本ではないような不思議な感覚になりました。
マングローブの間を抜ける狭い道はとてもスリリングでワクワクするものでした。

I signed up for this tour thinking it was perfect since we would depart at 9:30 and be taken directly to the airport. The view of Kabira Bay was even more stunning than in the photos, and our guide skillfully shared the history of Ishigaki Island and famous landmarks while singing joyfully. Their beautiful singing almost brought me to tears. The driver was also very reassuring and provided excellent service. The lunch was delicious and healthy as well. I would love to visit again next time. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

9時30分出発、直接空港へ送ってもらえるのでちょうどイイツアーだなと思い申し込みました。
川平湾の景色は写真よりも絶景で石垣島の所々の歴史や、有名建造物など楽しく上手に歌を歌いながらガイドさんが案内してくれました。
素敵な歌声で涙が出そうになりました。そして運転手さんもとても安心できるドライバーさんで接客も素晴らしかったです。
お昼ご飯もとても美味しく健康的なメニューでした。
また次回も訪れたいです。
楽しい思い出をありがとうございました。

On a personal trip, I was able to efficiently visit power spots like "Kumamoto/Aso Mountain - Miyazaki/Takachiho Gorge + Amano Iwato," which cannot be covered in just one day. Additionally, the guide's explanations were excellent. I encountered many deities on this tour.

個人旅行では一日では巡れない「熊本/阿蘇山～宮崎/高千穂峡+天岩戸」などのパワースポットを効率よく回れて、尚かつ添乗員さんの説明は最高でした。このツアーでたくさんの神々とお会いしました。
