All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

There were two groups of Japanese people and the rest were from various countries, but the guide explained everything in Chinese, English, and Japanese, which allowed my family and my American husband to understand the explanations very well!

日本人が2組と他は多国籍の方達でしたが、ガイドさんが中国語、英語、日本語でそれぞれ説明してくれて私達家族とアメリカ人の旦那も説明を理解する事ができとても良かったです！

I participated in a tour of Yubu Island and a mangrove canoe tour. Unfortunately, we couldn't go to Barasu Island due to the weather.

Yubu Island has cute water buffalo and beautiful nature, and I really enjoyed it. There were also animals and birds along the way to Yubu Island, which was a lot of fun.

It was my first time kayaking in the mangroves, and I had a great time. I've often seen photos of mangrove tunnels, but the mangroves we visited were quite small, so I hope to see larger ones next time.

Before going on the canoe tour, we were told that the guide would take photos with a GoPro, so we didn't need to bring our smartphones. However, our guide used something like a digital camera instead. All the photos had a foggy appearance in the middle. I thought it might be mist, but since the same area was white, I believe it was due to lens fogging. I wanted to capture great memories in photos, but they didn't turn out well, which is disappointing. I wish they had used a GoPro instead. I wonder if it varies by guide.

由布島とマングローブカヌーツアーに参加しました。バラス島は天気の関係で行くことができませんでした。
由布島にはかわいい水牛や美しい自然がありとても楽しめました。また、由布島に行くまでの道にも動物や鳥がいてとても楽しめました。
マングローブカヤックも初めてだったので楽しかったです。マングローブのトンネルのような写真をよく見ますが、私たちが行ったところのマングローブは、小さかった？ので次はもっと大きいマングローブを見たいです。
カヌーツアーに行く前に、写真は、ガイドさんがゴープロで撮るのでスマートフォンは、持っていかなくても大丈夫と言われましたが、私たちのガイドさんはゴープロではなく、デジカメ？のようなもので撮影をしてくれました。全ての写真の真ん中あたりにモヤがかかっていました。霧かな？とも思いましたが、ほぼ同じ場所が白いのでレンズの曇りだと思います。せっかくの思い出を写真にのこしたかったのですが、あまりいい写真ではなく、残念です。また、ゴープロで撮影してほしかったです。ガイドさんによって違うのでしょうか。

We participated as a family of six. There were many international visitors, and we were the only Japanese. There were two guides; the male guide was with the Japan and America group in the front row, while the female guide was with the Korea group in the back row. We acted according to our groups. Our guide provided explanations in both Japanese and English, which was very helpful. She was very kind and took many photos for us. We were able to visit four places in one day, which was very meaningful. Everything was wonderful, but personally, I thought Kiyomizu-dera and the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove were the best. We were able to have a family trip full of memories. I am grateful to our guide and the driver.

家族６人で参加しました。海外の方が多く、日本人は私たちだけでした。ガイドさんが2人おり、バスの前列は日本、アメリカグループで男性ガイドさん、後列は韓国グループで女性のガイドさんでした。グループごとで行動しました。私たちのガイドさんは日本語と英語の両方で説明して下さったのでとても良かったです。とても親切で、たくさん写真も撮って下さいました。1日で4箇所も回れてとても有意義でした。全部素晴らしいですが、個人的には清水寺と嵐山の竹林が最高でした。思い出いっぱいの家族旅行を過ごすことができました。ガイドさんと運転手さんに感謝です。

I was a bit anxious since it seemed like an inbound tour, but the tour guide provided explanations in Japanese, Chinese, and English, so there were no issues with understanding, and we could enjoy the sightseeing without any problems. The time allocation was just right, allowing us to enjoy the sights and visit souvenir shops. It was also great that the tour ended at 6 PM, making it easy to plan for after activities like dining or enjoying the night view, especially since it's a tour for places that are difficult to visit without a rental car.

インバウンド向けのツアーのようだったので不安がありましたが、添乗員さんが日本語
中国語・英語で説明、聞き取りづらいこともなく問題なく観光できました。
時間配分もほどよく観光できてお土産屋を見られて楽しめました。
レンタカーなどを利用しないと観光が難しい場所のツアーで18時に終了するのでその後の予定も組みやすい点（食事や夜景など）が大変良かったです。

Jigokudani, Sairo, Chikyumisaki, Lake Shikotsu, and Showa Shinzan each had a stay of about 30 minutes. It felt a bit busy as we took photos and then gathered together. Since Lake Toya is a hot spring town, it was nice to have restaurants and souvenir shops where everyone could spend their time freely.

地獄谷、サイロ、地球岬、支笏湖、昭和新山はそれぞれ滞在時間３０分ほどでした。写真を撮ったら集合、という感じでちょっと忙しかったです。洞爺湖は温泉街ということで飲食店やお土産屋さんがあり各自で自由に過ごすことができて良かったです。

Thank you for responding so well to my selfish request. The night tour, which can be easily affected by the weather, was handled excellently. You chose the best course and points based on the weather conditions at that time, allowing for a satisfying observation. Thank you very much.

こちらの我儘なお願いに対して、しっかりと対応していただき感謝しています。
天候などに左右されやすいナイトツアーでしたが、その時の天候状況から最善の成果が出るようなコースとポイントを選択していただき、満足できる観察ができました。
ありがとうございました。

I was taken to a place that you can only get to with a taxi driver. They were very kind, and the explanations were easy to understand. I'm glad I chartered.

タクシー運転手さんでなければ連れて行ってもらえないような場所に案内していただきました。とっても親切で、説明もわかり易かったです。
チャーターして良かったです。

I often use the bus since I don't drive, and it takes me to various places.

There are many customers from abroad, but the tour guide is fluent in English, which is reassuring.

However, at the Churaumi Aquarium, many people couldn't find the bus stop for the return trip and missed the meeting time. I think it would be better to provide a map of the meeting place along with a note of the meeting time.

車の運転しなくて、バスでいろんなところに連れてってくれるからよく利用します。

外国からのお客様も多いですが、添乗員さんが英語堪能なので、それも安心。

ただ、美ら海水族館では帰りのバスの場所が分からなくなって、集合時間を守れない人が多数いて、集合時間のメモとともに集合場所の地図も渡したほうが良いのでは、と思いました。

I was able to visit four places in one day, which was very meaningful. Also, the lunch was very delicious, and I was satisfied. Since I have been to Kyoto several times, I could somewhat understand, but because it was a guided tour on a sightseeing bus, I wished the explanations of the tourist spots were also in Japanese. The entire tour guide was in English. I would have liked it to be clearly stated that there would be no explanations of the tourist spots in Japanese.

1日で4ヵ所も見学できて大変有意義でした。また、昼食もとても美味しくて満足しました。
自分は何度も京都に来ているので、何とか理解できましたが、説書くの観光バスでの旅でしたから、観光地の説明は日本語でもしてほしかった。全て英語の観光案内でした。日本語の観光地説明はないと分かりやすく明記してほしかった。

I am not good at driving, so I toured the island on the Yakuzaru bus. It's a well-designed sightseeing bus, and if you're visiting Yakushima for the first time, you'll definitely enjoy it. I wasn't expecting much from the lunch box, but the fried chicken and chawanmushi were warm and very delicious. However, the only downside is that if you participate alone, you have to pay an additional 2,500 yen, which is a bit disappointing.

私は運転が苦手なので、島一周はやくざる号で観光しました。よくできた観光バスで、初めて屋久島を訪れた人なら、絶対楽しめます。お昼のお弁当は期待していなかったのですが、唐揚げも茶碗蒸しも温かく、とても美味しくいただきました。
ただ…ひとり参加だとプラス2500円しないといけないので、それだけが残念。

The tour route is a place I visit every year for cherry blossom viewing, but the cherry blossom tour from the open-top bus was very enjoyable. The cherry blossoms were beautiful, but the historical background explained by the guide through their lively talk, along with the views of the Imperial Palace, Tokyo Skytree, and the cityscape, left a lasting impression on me. I had a wonderful time. Thank you, guide!

ツアーのコースは毎年花見散歩で巡っている所ですが、オープントップバスからの桜巡りはとても楽しかったです。
桜も美しかったですが、ガイドさんの軽快なトークで歴史的背景の説明を聴きながらの皇居、スカイツリーそして街並みの景色は心に残りました。
とても素敵な時間を過ごすことが出来ました。
ガイドさんありがとうございました♪♪

The tour guide was a nice person, and the weather was perfect, but I couldn't see the coconut crabs and the stars weren't visible either. No one is to blame; it was just bad luck! I want to see them next time!

ツアーのお兄さんも良い方で、天気も天候も最高でしたが、ヤシガニも会えず星空もそこまで見れなかったです。
誰も悪くなく、ただ単に運が悪かったです！
次は見たいです！

The timing and weather were absolutely perfect, allowing us to have a wonderful cherry blossom viewing experience. Since I was with my elderly parents, I think we enjoyed it more comfortably than if we had been in a crowded area.

Also, the guide was great at keeping us entertained. Their professionalism really shone through.

The difficulty in finding the meeting point and the confusion were a bit of a downside, which is why I deducted one star, but I believe the experience was more than sufficient for the price.

タイミングも、気候もとってもベストだったこともあり、素敵なお花見タイムを過ごせました。高齢の両親を連れていたので、人混みの中でお花見するより、快適に楽しめたと思います。
あと、ガイドさんが楽しませてくれるのが良いですね。プロの面白さです。

集合場所のわかりにくさ、混乱具合がちょっとマイナスポイントで星１つ減にしましたが、価格に対して充分すぎる内容だと思います。

I couldn't drive, so it was great to be able to visit various sightseeing spots in central Okinawa on a bus tour. The plan included admission fees and was even discounted for students, so I felt it was a good deal. There was also enough time to buy souvenirs, so I was able to get most of what I wanted.

車に乗れないのでバスツアーで沖縄中部の観光スポットを一通りまわれるのが良かったです。入場料込みでさらに料金は学割で安くなったのでお得感があるプランだと思います。お土産を買う時間もちゃんと用意されてるので欲しい分はだいたい買えました。

I wanted to go to Kabira Bay, so I joined a bus tour that was more affordable than taking a taxi. The tour itself wasn't bad, but my child seemed a bit bored. The time spent at each stop was also short, so I think those who want to take their time would enjoy a private taxi more.

川平湾に行きたくて、タクシーよりお手頃なバスツアーに参加しました。ツアー自体は悪くありませんでしたが、子供は少し退屈そうでした。立ち寄るポイントでの滞在時間も短かかったので、ゆっくり回りたい人はタクシー貸切の方が楽しめると思います。

We participated with children. The main goal was Pineapple Park, as requested by the kids (which I think is unusual, haha). After receiving an explanation from the staff, while we were buying the cart tickets, a tour bus with an overseas group arrived, and since they already had their cart tickets, they cut in line ahead of us.

50 minutes wasn't enough time, and we rushed past the souvenir shop without being able to see it. Although it was a short time, I'm glad the kids seemed satisfied. The bus guide was also very kind, and we had a fun day. Since we didn't have a rental car, the bus tour was a great help. Thank you very much.

子連れで参加しました。子供の希望でパイナップルパークが一番の目的でした。（珍しいと思いますが(^^;)）店員さんの説明を受けてからカートのチケットを買っていたら海外の団体バスツアーが到着してしまい、その団体さんはすでにカートチケットを持っていた為、並び列が抜かされてしまいました。
50分では時間が足らず、お土産屋さんは見られず駆け足で通り過ぎました。短い時間でしたが子供は満足したようで良かったです。
バスガイドさんもとても親切で一日楽しく過ごせました。レンタカーがないのでバスツアーとても助かりました。ありがとうございました。

It was a very cold day, but both Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya were very beautiful. The view from Mount Usu was also wonderful, and I was very satisfied.

とても寒い日でしたが、支笏湖、洞爺湖ともとてもきれいでした。
有珠山からの眺めも素晴らしく、大満足でした。

I had a very fulfilling day on a packed sightseeing tour. I felt safe participating even as a solo female traveler. The guide's instructions and smile were wonderful.

盛りだくさんな観光ツアーで、大変充実した一日を過ごすことができました。女性一人でも安心して参加できました。ガイドさんの案内も笑顔も素敵でした。

There are many places to visit, so the sightseeing time at each location tends to be a bit short, but you can cover all the famous tourist spots. After this, it might be nice to take your time at the places you liked on your next visit. Since I can't drive, this was very helpful. Unfortunately, there were participants who were late multiple times for the meeting, which caused some delays. I was worried about making it back to the ferry, but since the schedule was well managed, I was able to make it just in time. I felt like I wanted to visit Shodoshima again.

回る場所も多いので、どうしても一箇所あたりの観光時間が短めになってしまいますが、一通り有名観光スポットに回ることができます。
これで回って、次回気に入った場所にゆっくり行けばいいかもしれないです。
車運転できないので、とても助かりました。
運悪く、参加者で何度も集合時間に遅刻する方がいて、時間がズレたりしました。
帰りの船に間に合うかヒヤヒヤしましたが、時間をちゃんと調整されていたので、なんとか間に合って良かったです。
また小豆島に観光したいと感じました。

At first, I was planning to take the train from Sapporo, but as I researched, I found it quite far and time-consuming, so I discovered this tour. It’s really convenient since you just sit back and get taken there without any hassle.

On this day, the road conditions were very good, and we arrived much earlier than expected, which gave us more time for sightseeing—what a lucky break! The guide was also a fun and kind person.

I had heard that the penguin walk only happens in the morning in March, so I had given up on that, but to my surprise, they held the walk in the afternoon too! It was a delightful surprise.

I highly recommend this tour for anyone considering visiting Asahiyama Zoo from Sapporo.

はじめは札幌から電車で行くつもりでしたが、ずいぶん遠くて時間もかかるなぁと調べているうちに、こちらのツアーを発見。
迷わず座っているだけで連れて行ってもらえるので楽ちんです。
この日は道路事情がとても良くずいぶん早く到着したため、見学できる時間が予定よりも長くなってラッキーでした♪
ガイドさんも楽しく親切な方でした。
3月はペンギンのお散歩は午前のみと聞いていたので諦めていましたが、まさかの午後もお散歩開催！
嬉しいサプライズでした。
札幌拠点の観光の方で旭山動物園を検討されている方には、是非オススメしたいツアーです。

It's quite difficult to set everything up by yourself, isn't it? Adjusting each schedule and making arrangements, among other things. I'm glad it went smoothly and efficiently. I rode the water buffalo cart twice, but once might have been enough.

自分では、なかなか全部を設定するのは難しいですよね。それぞれのタイムスケジュール調整や手配などなど。効率的に回れて、良かったです。
水牛車に2回乗りましたが、1回でも十分だったかも。

In March, I visited Okinawa with my wife for the first time in 30 years. Last time, we toured the main sightseeing spots by rental car, so this time we used a sightseeing taxi for the first time, focusing on "Yachimun no Sato," which I had always wanted to visit. We were able to enjoy a leisurely sightseeing experience at my wife's pace, as she has weak legs. When I tried to purchase a Yachimun piece I liked, I realized I didn't have my wallet! I had left it in the hotel security box. Just when I was about to give up on the item I really wanted, the driver kindly offered, "Shall I cover it for you?" Thanks to him, that piece is now decorating our tokonoma at home. Every time I see it, it reminds me of Okinawa. In Nago, he took us to a direct store run by the fishing cooperative, where we enjoyed incredibly fresh and delicious seafood. Thank you very much.

3月に妻と30年ぶりに沖縄を訪れました。前回にレンタカーで主要な観光スポットを回りましたので今回はかねがね行きたいと思っていた"やちむんの里"をメインに初めて観光タクシーを利用しました。足の弱い妻のペースに合わせたのんびり観光ができました。気に入ったやちむんを購入しようとしたら財布がない？ホテルのセキュリティボックスにいれたままでした。どうしても欲しい品、あきらめかかっていた時見かねた運転手さんから「立替ましょうか？」との一言。お陰で今それは
我が家の床の間を飾っています。見るたび沖縄を思い出させてくれます。名護では漁協直営店に案内して下さり驚く程新鮮で美味な海鮮を満喫できました。
ありがとうございました。

I was able to see coconut crabs and frogs that are natural monuments, and the experience of walking through the forest at night was very enjoyable! The guide, who was very active and climbed the cliffs barefoot in beach sandals, was the most entertaining to watch. Thank you for your hospitality!

ヤシガニや天然記念物？のカエルなど見れましたし夜の森を歩く体験がとても楽しかった！
裸足にビーチサンダルで崖を登るめちゃアクティブなガイドさんが見ていて一番面白かったです。お世話になりました！

The guide's stories were enjoyable. However, there was one part that felt rushed, and I wished we had more time to take it slow. The Pineapple Park was also crowded with carts, so we had to run back to the bus afterward. It would have been better to visit the candy castle at the end or skip it altogether. I would like to see options for going to Neo Park and other places as well. Since there are many locations based on the meeting hotel, I would prefer them to be divided by region.

ガイドさんのお話が楽しかった、
ただ一つの箇所がやっぱり忙しく、もっと時間をとって欲しい、もっとゆっくりみたかった、パイナップルパークもカートが混んでいたので、そのあと走ってバスに戻った、
お菓子御殿は最後にするか、なしでもよかった、ネオパークや、他のところに行くパターンも作って欲しい、
集合ホテルによる箇所が多いので地域で分けて欲しい

Having seen it in dramas and movies, I was moved by the sight of an island that was once cutting-edge, now standing before me as a deserted ruin where no one lives.

ドラマや映画で見ていた事もあり、かつては最先端だった島が今は誰も住まない廃墟が目の前にある事に心を動かされました。

The tour guide was entertaining and skilled at explaining things, which made the journey enjoyable. I also got to see the endangered coconut crab, which I don't usually encounter. It was a refreshing experience for both my mind and body, escaping the hustle and bustle of society and immersing myself in nature!

移動中もツアーガイドのお兄さんの面白い話しや説明も上手で楽しかったです。日頃見ることのない絶滅危惧種のヤシガニも見れました。喧騒な社会から自然界で非日常体験で心身共にリフレッシュ出来ました！

Both the bus driver and the guide were very kind and accommodating. There were just under 40 tour participants, and our family of four was the only Japanese group. Some reviews mentioned that those who might have reservations about joining a tour with foreigners (from Korea and Taiwan) should consider it carefully, but we had no such concerns at all. The passengers were well-mannered, and everyone adhered to the meeting times. The driver was very considerate towards my elderly wife, who has limited mobility, and we are very grateful for that. Thank you very much.

バスの運転手さんもガイドさんからも親切な応対をしていただきました。40名弱のツアー客で日本人は私たち家族4名でした。外国の方（韓国、台湾）との一緒のツアーに抵抗がある人は考えたほうが良いとの感想が書かれていたが全くその心配はありませんでした。
乗客のマナーもよく集合時間も全員守っていました。
足が不自由な老妻に運転手さんからは色々心遣いを戴き感謝いたしております。
ありがとうございました。

Everything was perfect.
No complaints; on the contrary, I wish I had more time!
It was very enjoyable.
You can have fun even alone.
The experience in the business class and the actual cockpit of the A320 (old model) was so realistic that it was moving.

全てがパーフェクト
文句なし、逆にもっと時間ほしい！
とても楽しい
1人でも楽しめる
最後のビジネスクラスの体験やA320(旧型)の実際のコックピットがリアルすぎて感動

There is a bus stop a little away from the tourist attractions, so I think there is a walking distance, but you can go to the places you want to visit. Unlike city buses, you can easily get around the tourist spots without getting lost. It was good that I had purchased my ticket in advance, so I didn't have to worry about not being able to get on due to it being full. If it rains, you can either ride on the first floor or get a poncho and ride on the second floor.

観光地の少し離れた場所にバス停があるから歩行距離はあると思うが、自分の行きたい所に行ける。市バスと違い、観光地回りのため迷わず行ける。前もってチケット購入している為、多くて乗れないとかがなくてよかった。雨が降ったら1階に乗るか、ポンチョをもらい2階に乗るかできる。

I saw the actual disaster training being conducted and witnessed the hard work of everyone working on board. I asked various questions, and the flight attendant in charge kindly answered with a smile. I was happy when she said, "Let's meet again on board next time!"

災難訓練など実際に行われているところをみて、機内で働く皆さんの大変さを目にしました。色んな質問をしましたが案内役のCAさんも気さくに笑顔で答えてくれました。またの機会に機内で会いましょう、と語りかけてくれて嬉しかったですよ！
