All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

I visited the two gassho-zukuri villages of Shirakawa-go and Gokayama.
Shirakawa-go had many tourists, with plenty of souvenir shops and restaurants, making it enjoyable as a tourist spot.
Gokayama, on the other hand, didn't have much of a touristy feel, allowing me to see a more natural village landscape.
Both had their own unique charm, and I was glad to have visited both.

白川郷と五箇山の二つの合掌造り集落を巡りました。
白川郷は観光客が多く、お土産屋さんや食べ物屋さんもたくさんあり、観光スポットとして楽しむことができました。
五箇山は、観光スポットらしさはあまりなく自然な集落の姿を見ることができました。
二つともそれぞれに良さがあり、どちらも見学出来て良かったです。

I had a great time interacting in English with foreign friends who love Japan. It was wonderful to engage in cultural exchange with people from Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, and Australia. I was glad to explain the matcha experience. Although Mount Fuji was obscured by clouds, I was happy to take photos by Lake Yamanaka. Overall, I was about 70% satisfied. The meeting point in the morning was confusing due to various tour buses arriving one after another, so I think it would have been better to have clearer and more noticeable signs.

親日の外国の方々と英語で交流でき、楽しかった。
台湾、マレーシア、シンガポール、オーストラリアの方々と異文化交流ができ良かった。
お抹茶体験を説明できてよかった。富士山は雲がかかって見えなかったが、山中湖畔で、写真が撮れたのでよかった。
全体的には、70パーセントの満足。
朝の集合場所が、色々なツアーバスが次々と来て、迷ったので、もう少し分かりやすい目につきやすい看板などあると良かったと思う。

The view of Mount Eniwa, Mount Fubetsu, and Mount Tarumae from Lake Shikotsu was very beautiful. Unfortunately, this time I couldn't see Mount Yotei from Lake Toya, but the view from Mount Usu, which I accessed via the ropeway, was breathtaking. I had been to all these places in the summer, but the snowy scenery was also fantastic.

支笏湖から見える恵庭岳、風不死岳、樽前山はとても美しい景色でした。今回は残念ながら洞爺湖から羊蹄山を観ることはで出来ませんでしたがロープウェイで登った有珠山から景色は圧巻です。
全て夏に行った事のある所でしたが雪景色も最高でした。

I chose this course because even though it's a bit more expensive, it allows for an efficient visit to two locations. With the cheaper course, the bus had unreserved seating, which meant I would have to line up each time, leading to a loss of time. When I actually went, there was a heavy snow warning, and the regular bus service was uncertain. Since it was a sightseeing bus, I didn't have to worry about the return bus not showing up, allowing me to use my time effectively. There were also some guides for minor sightseeing spots, which was nice.

多少高くても2ヶ所を効率よく回れるのでこちらのコースにしました。
もう一つの安いコースだとバスが自由席だったりして、いちいち並ばねばならず、時間のロスだと感じまして。
実際に行った時は大雪警報が出ていて、定期バスの運行も不確かでした。
観光バスなので、帰りのバスが来ないとかの心配もなく、時間を有意義に使えました。
ちょっとした観光スポットの案内などもあり、良かったです。

I went to the Churaumi Aquarium on a tour from American Village. It was feeding time for the whale sharks, and I was able to see them swimming vertically. I've seen whale sharks many times, but seeing them in that vertical position was truly impressive due to their size! No matter how many times I go, I am always amazed by that large tank and the whale sharks!

Since Churaumi is far away, taking a bus tour is convenient, and you can chat while traveling. Plus, the ticket price is included, making it a great deal, so I've used this tour several times. Since I often stay in American Village, I hope more tours departing from American Village will be available.

アメリカンビレッジ発のツアーで、美ら海水族館に行きました。
丁度、ジンベイサメの餌の時間で、縦になっいるジンベイサメを見られました。
ジンベイサメは何度も見ていますが、縦になっている姿はさすがに、大きいなー！と感動しました。
何回行っても、あの大きな水槽とジンベイサメには感動します！

美ら海までは遠いので、バスツアーだと楽ですしおしゃべりしながら行けるし、チケット代も込みなのでお得なので、何回かこのツアーを使っています。
アメリカンビレッジに滞在する事が多いので、アメリカンビレッジ発の他のツアーも増えるといいなと思います。

I was able to participate again this year, just like last year. Last year's water buffalo carts had Musashi and Kojiro, but this year it was Sota and Mirai, and since I follow them on Instagram, it was fun to see their individual personalities. The round-trip bus had a driver who provided commentary; last year it was entertaining, but this year it felt more negative, and I wanted to hear more about Iriomote Island. The bento from Yufu Island was delicious, and overall, I was very satisfied.

昨年に続き今年も参加できました。
昨年の水牛車は武蔵くんと小次郎くんでしたが、今年は颯太くんと未来くんでインスタもフォローしているので、それぞれ個性があって楽しかったです。
往復のバス、運転手さんが案内をしてくれるのですが昨年は面白かったけど今年はネガティブな感じでもっと西表島のことを聞きたかったです。
由布島のお弁当も美味しいし全体的にとても満足です。

I participated in a tour last July and was deeply impressed. I heard that Shirakawa-go is even more charming in winter, so I decided to join this time. I was moved by the contrast of the white snow and the black gassho-zukuri architecture from the observation deck. The surrounding mountains and village were covered in snow, creating an incredibly fantastical and beautiful landscape. Next time, I would like to visit Shirakawa-go again during the recommended light-up and autumn foliage season.

昨年7月にツアーに参加しまして感激。冬の白川郷は更に魅力的とお話しを聞きまして、今回参加致しました。
展望台からの雪の白と合掌造りの黒のコンストストに感動しました。周囲の山々と集落に雪が積もり、最高に幻想的な美しい風景でした。
今度は、ガイドさんにお勧めされたライトアップ、紅葉の季節にまた白川郷に行ってみたいです。

This time, we had a tour to Takoi Rock, but due to the weather and our flight schedule, we changed it to the Mossy Forest. Honestly, I was disappointed that we couldn't make it to Takoi Rock, but I appreciate that the guide considered our safety, and because of that, we were able to visit various places, which was great! Also, they were very kind!

The rain-soaked forests of Yakushima are truly captivating, and I don't want to forget the sights, sounds, and smells! So, next time, I want to have enough time to challenge myself again to reach Takoi Rock. Thank you again!

今回は太鼓岩までのツアーでしたが天候や私達の飛行機の都合もあり、苔むす森までに変更しました。
正直、太鼓岩まで行けなかったのは残念でしたが、ガイドさんが安全を考慮してくれたのには感謝しておりますし、その分様々なところに連れて行って貰えたので良かったです！あと、やさしかったです！
雨の降る屋久島の森は本当に魅力的で、景色も音も匂いも忘れたくありません！
なので、今度は太鼓岩まで行けるよう時間に余裕をもって再度挑みたいです。
また、よろしくお願いいたします。

I was really helped by being able to explore the city of Kyoto on my own from Osaka Station. I had a wonderful trip. The guide was also kind and taught me a lot of things, thank you. It was very helpful.

京都の街をこれだけ大阪駅から個人でまわれたので本当に助かりました とてもいい旅が出来ました。ガイドさんも親切でいろいろ教えてくださいました、ありがとうございます。助かりました。

I went because my husband invited me.
I was aiming to see the starry sky, but I was able to see various creatures like insects, coconut crabs, and bats.
I also noticed that the staff were very attentive and answered all sorts of questions like "What is this?"
I was able to take a commemorative photo with a coconut crab, and we went to Octopus Park, where I could see a beautiful starry sky and the moon that are hard to find in the city.
Before joining this tour, I tried to go to Octopus Park during the day, but it felt a bit scary even in daylight.
However, on the tour, there were familiar staff and other tourists, so it was enjoyable.
Also, since the creatures you can see vary depending on the day, I thought I would like to go again when I have children.
Thank you for the precious experience.

夫に誘われて行きました。
私は星空目的でしたが、虫やヤシガニ、コウモリなどさまざまな生き物を見ることができました。
また、これはなに？など色々な質問をしても親身に答えてくださっている姿が見られました。
ヤシガニと記念写真が撮れたり、タコ公園まで行き、都会ではなかなか見られない綺麗な星空、月を見ることができました。
このツアーに参加する前にタコ公園に行こうと日中挑戦しましたが、日中でも少し怖い雰囲気で、、
ツアーだと慣れているスタッフの方や他の観光客の方もいらっしゃるので楽しく行けました。
また、その日によって見られる生き物が違うので子どもが産まれたらまた行きたいなあ、などとも思いました。
貴重な体験をありがとうございました。

There are panels explaining the roles of cabin crew, cargo loading, ground handling, maintenance, and pilots at key points, allowing you to take your time to read and observe. The cabin crew members serve as instructors and are knowledgeable, answering any questions about their roles, which was impressive. If the timing is right, you can observe training sessions from above. During our visit, we were able to see water evacuation training and emergency situation simulation training at altitude. I also became interested in visiting the maintenance facility, although reservations are quite difficult to secure. There are also places where photography is allowed, which was satisfying!

要所要所に客室乗務員、貨物積載、グランドバンドリング、整備、パイロット説明のパネルやがあり、じっくり読んだり観察したりする時間をとってくれます。客室乗務員の方がインストラクターです。どの職種に関する質問にも詳しく答えて下さるのでCAの方の知識に驚きました。タイミングが合えば研修している場面を上から観ることができます。私たちの回は、水上脱出訓練と、上空想定での緊急事態シミュレーションモックの訓練がみれました。整備工場見学の方も行ってみたくなりました。予約難易度高いですが。写真撮影可の場所もたまにあり満足です！

This was my first time participating in the tour, and I was amazed by the cleanliness of the facilities and the abundance of equipment! It was also very interesting to be able to walk around the training facilities. I got to see the simulator in action and observe the process of changing the seats in the cabin!

The explanations provided by the cabin attendant who guided us were clear and easy to understand.

今回初めてツアーに参加させていただき、まず施設の綺麗さや設備の充実さに驚きました！
また実際に訓練している施設内を回ることができとても興味深かったです。
シュミレーターが動いていたり、機内のシートを替える作業をしている場面を見ることができました！

案内してくださったキャビンアテンダントさんの解説もわかりやすく聞きやすかったです。

I was surprised by how much snow there was, and it was truly moving. I took a friend from the Philippines, and they were excited as it was their first experience with snow.

思ったより雪が多く、感動しました。フィリピンからの友達を連れて行きましたが、初めての雪体験で興奮状態でした。

Since she is Filipino, we participated with 10 people including relatives and friends. Most of the tour guests were from Southeast Asia and had a warm atmosphere. The guide was young and made a great impression with their earnest efforts. The only complaint, if I had to mention one, was that the price was a bit high. I would like to use the tour again next time.

彼女がフィリピン人なので、親戚友人含め10人で参加しました。ツアー客は、ほぼ東南アジアの方でほんわかしてました。ガイドさんは若く一生懸命対応してたのが好印象です。金額が少し高かったのが強いて言えば不満点。次回もツアーを利用したいと思います。

You can swim with turtles!
This time, I participated in the SUP & Sea Turtle Snorkeling one-day course. One thing I regret is that I thought I would wear a wetsuit for SUP, so I didn't bring a rash guard or leggings. It's better to be in a swimsuit even in winter for sunburn and cold protection. Also, if you usually wear glasses, it's a good idea to prepare a float in case they fall off. I hesitated and took off my glasses, but I regret not being able to see the beautiful sea clearly.
Putting preparation aside, the tour itself prioritizes safety and provides easy-to-understand instructions for beginners.
Ingyamarine Garden is a great spot for SUP cruising with no waves. It's interesting to go through rocky areas and over bridges. Some participants even saw rays swimming.
After lunch, we moved to Shigira Beach for snorkeling. I thought there would be turtles in the shallow water during low tide, but the turtles come from the open sea during high tide into the enclosed natural pool, so we aimed to search for them there. We swam about 200-300 meters towards the rocks and coral, but those who couldn't swim could hold onto a float while the instructor guided them. We encountered colorful fish and even Nemo. Among us, one participant spotted a turtle. When we chased it, we encountered a leisurely swimming green sea turtle and swam together for about 15 minutes. It didn't seem scared of us or try to escape.
The instructor took many photos, so if you're worried about losing your camera, you don't need to bring one. They will send the photos later via LINE.
The chance of encountering a turtle was 30%, but we were lucky.
It became an experience that we can cherish and talk about forever.

カメと泳げます！
今回、SUP&海カメスノーケル1日コースに参加。私の準備不足だったことは、SUPの時にウェットスーツを着るものと思い、ラッシュやスパッツを持たなかったこと。SUPは冬でも水着のままなので日焼けや寒さ対策はした方がいい。また、普段メガネの方は落ちた時のことを考えてフロートを準備した方がいい。迷ってメガネを外したものの、綺麗な海を鮮明に見ることが出来なかったことは後悔あり。
準備はさておき、ツアーそのものは安全を第一に初心者にもわかりやすくレクチャーしてくれます。
インギャーマリンガーデンは波もなくSUPクルーズに良い場所。岩場を抜けたり橋を超えたり、面白いと思います。参加者の中にはエイが泳いでいるのを見た人もいました。
お昼を挟んでシギラビーチにシュノーケルのため移動。干潮で浅瀬にカメがいるのかと思ったら、満潮時に外洋から入ってきた亀が閉ざされた天然プールの海にいるので、そこを狙って探すというもの。200-300メートル泳いで岩場や珊瑚に向かいますが、泳げない人はフロートに捕まりインストラクターが誘導してくれます。カラフルな魚やニモにも会えます。そんな中、参加者の一人が亀を目撃。追いかけるとゆったりのんびり泳ぐ青海亀に遭遇。15分ほど一緒に泳ぎました。人を怖かったり逃げたりもしません。
インストラクターさんが写真をたくさん撮ってくれるので、カメラ紛失の不安がある方は持たなくても大丈夫。後にLINEで送ってくれます。
亀遭遇率30%の確率でしたが、私達はラッキーでした。
いつまでも思い出を語り継げる体験となりました。

Perhaps it was because we visited during the lunch break? We couldn't see much of the training. There were few photo spots. The question time was short.

見学した時間帯が昼休みのためか？訓練の状余り見ることができなかった。撮影スポットが少ない。質問時間が短かった。

We participated as a group of five adults. I thought it would be a childish tour, and I apologize for that assumption. I never imagined that what I was about to experience would become a lifelong treasure.

Walking in complete darkness with just a single light, I was immediately excited by the guide's explanation! The sound of owls echoing through the forest only added to my thrill. It was more thrilling than I expected. We encountered many rare creatures like coconut crabs, geckos, owls, and snakes. Once we emerged from the forest, we were greeted by a sky full of stars and the moonlight reflecting on the sea. It felt luxurious to see so many stars so closely. I truly felt that coming here today was the right decision!

The guide had extensive knowledge and explained everything clearly, allowing us to learn a lot about Ishigaki Island. They were also friendly and entertaining, which I believe is one of the charms of this tour. If I have the opportunity to visit Ishigaki Island again, I will definitely participate in this tour.

大人5人で参加しました。子供騙しのツアーかと思いきや、そんな事を思っていたことに謝罪。
これから体験する事が一生涯の宝物になろうとは‥。
真っ暗闇をライト一つで歩きます、とガイドさんの説明で早速大興奮！森に響き渡るフクロウの鳴き声にさらにワクワクがとまりません。想像以上にスリルも満点。ヤシガニ、ヤモリ、フクロウ、ヘビなど沢山の珍しい生き物に出会えました。森を抜けるとそこは満天の星空。そして、海に映る月明かり。こんなに沢山の星をこんなにも近くに感じて見る事ができる贅沢なこの場所。今日、本当にここへ来て良かった！と強く思いました。ガイドさんは豊富な知識を持ち説明も分かりやすく石垣島を詳しく知る事ができました。また、気さくで面白くこのツアーの魅力の一つだとおもいます。また石垣島へ行く機会があったらこちらのツアーに参加させていただきます。

The weather was favorable, and the meticulous planning for the bus transfer on Iriomote Island was wonderful. On Taketomi Island, I walked over 10,000 steps. You definitely need comfortable shoes.
Google Maps didn't work.

天候にも恵まれ、西表島でのバス中継が必要で、綿密な計画が素晴らしかった。竹富島は、なんと１万歩以上歩きました。必ず、運動靴が必要です。
gogle mapが機能しませんでした。汗　　

It can be challenging to sightsee with your luggage after checkout, but I decided to use a sightseeing taxi because you can keep your bags on board and enjoy sightseeing hands-free. They not only accommodated my requests but also efficiently guided me to recommended spots, allowing me to visit many attractions in just four hours. Since I could leave the time management to them, I was able to enjoy sightseeing without worrying about my flight schedule. This time, I was attended by a female driver, Ms. S, who was full of interesting topics, making the sightseeing experience enjoyable. It's unique to sightseeing taxis to gain information that isn't found in guidebooks!

チェックアウト後に荷物を持って観光するのは大変ですが、観光タクシーなら荷物を乗せたまま、手ぶらで観光できると思い利用しました。
こちらの要望にプラスしてオススメスポットも効率的に案内していただけ、4時間でたくさんの観光地に行くことが出来ました。
時間配分もお任せ出来るので、飛行機の時間を気にせず観光を楽しめました。
今回は女性ドライバーのＳさんに担当していただきましたが、話題も豊富で一緒に観光するのが楽しかったです。ガイドブックに載っていない情報が得られるのも観光タクシーならではですね！

This was my second time participating, but I was disappointed that I couldn't see much of the training in each area, possibly because it coincided with lunchtime. During my first visit, I was able to see all the training sessions... However, I do recommend the facility tour itself. The locker area and the tour check-in were particularly good.

2回目の参加でしたがちょうどお昼休み時間と重なっていたからか各エリアの訓練の様子がほとんど見られずに残念でした。初めての時はすべての訓練の様子が見られたのですが…
ただ施設見学自体はおすすめです。
特にロッカーとツアーのチェックインは良かったです。

I made a reservation with great difficulty and went from Korea...ㅠㅠ
I guess it wasn't my lucky day... I couldn't see the training session...
All I saw was the Q400 simulator...
I went there to see Miss Pilot, so my expectations were at their peak... I'm so disappointed...
As for the merchandise...ㅠㅠ I wanted to buy a neck strap, but as a traveler, I couldn't buy the toolbox...
I only brought back two pairs of gloves...

힘들게 예약하고 한국에서 갔는데..ㅠㅠ
가는날이 장날인지...훈련하는 모습을 못봄..
ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Q400 시뮬하는거만 봄..
미스파일럿을 보고 간거라..기대가 최고치였는데..너무 아쉬움...
굿즈도..ㅠㅠ 넥스트랩 사고 싶었는데.. 여행자라 공구함도 못사고..
장갑 두켤레만 사왔네요..

The bus was smaller than I expected, and since it was full, I felt a bit cramped. However, everyone participating was punctual, so there was no stress from waiting.

思っていたよりバスが小さく、満席だったので、少し窮屈さを感じました。参加の皆さんは、きちんと集合時間を守られる方々ばかりだったので、待つストレスはなかったです。

I was guided by an active flight attendant who provided clear explanations based on their personal experiences and answered my questions, making for a very enjoyable time. I gained a better understanding of how the journey in the sky is supported by everyone at ANA. Additionally, the staff at the reception desk were very polite, which made me an even bigger fan of ANA.

現役のCAの方に案内をして頂き、ご自分の体験談や質問に対してわかりやすい説明をして頂き、とても楽しい時間をすごすことができました。
空の旅がANAの皆さんによって、支えられているということがよく理解できました。
また、受付窓口のスタッフの方々も非常に丁寧で、ますますANAファンになりました。

The guide provided explanations in both Japanese and English alternately, and was quick and friendly, which made the tour enjoyable! They also adapted the sightseeing schedule flexibly due to traffic conditions.

ガイドさんが日本語と英語で交互にこまめに説明してくれ、対応もテキパキしていて気さくだったのでパスツアーが楽しめました！交通事情により観光の時間も臨機応変に対応していました。

Fortunately, it was clear and there were no clouds, so the stars were very beautiful. I was also satisfied with the lovely photos taken! This is something you can't experience in the city, so if you visit Miyako Island, be sure to participate!

運良く晴れて雲もなかったので星がとても綺麗に見れました。写真も綺麗に撮っていただき満足です！
都会ではまず経験のできないことなので、宮古島に訪れる際はぜひ参加してみてください！

I participated in a bus tour. It was a fun day visiting various places! I was a bit concerned about the traffic on the way back, especially since it coincided with the holiday season and the Spring Festival. If I get the chance to come back to Okinawa, I would love to join another tour!

バスツアーに参加
一日、色々な所に行って楽しい日になりました！
連休や春節とも重なりかなあ〜と帰りの渋滞が気になりました
また、沖縄に来れたらまたツアーに参加したいです

The 90-minute tour felt too long for the scale of the event. Even after going around twice, we hadn't spent half the time, and when we returned to the bus, it was still closed, leaving us waiting outside for over 30 minutes. I wish someone had informed us that the bus was not open. The Ice Festival itself was good, but I think half the time would have been sufficient. However, it was strange that photos taken from a certain spot at the Ice Shrine turned out striped. No matter how many times I took the picture, it always came out with stripes.

規模の割に、90分の見学時間は長すぎた。
2周回っても時間は半分も経たず、バスに戻ったけど開いておらず、30分以上外でずっと待つ羽目に。
バスが開いていないことを教えて欲しかったです。
氷濤まつり自体は、良かったですが半分の時間で良いかと。
でも氷濤神社のところで、ある場所から撮る写真が縞模様になるのが不思議でした。
何度撮っても、縞模様になります。

In addition to the Snow Festival, I was hoping to take my son to Asahiyama Zoo, so I looked for a bus tour departing from Sapporo. It had been a while since I took a bus tour, but the kind and friendly bus guide and driver offered warm words, and the guide's personality was wonderful. Listening to their stories not only helped me learn about tourism in Hokkaido but was also enjoyable and informative. I highly recommend this tour and would like to use it again.

雪まつりの他、旭山動物園に息子を連れていけたらと思い、札幌発のバスツアーを探しました。
バスツアーは久しぶりでしたが、親切で優しいバスガイドさんと運転手の方にあたたかい言葉をかけていただきましたし、ガイドさんのお人柄が素晴らしく、お話を聞いていても北海道の観光勉強になるだけではなく、楽しく、ためになること、たくさん教えていただきました。
とてもおすすめのツアーです。また利用したいと思います。

It's mainly tourist attractions in Okinawa, and there was a shuttle service right to the front of the hotel. The guide was very nice and even shared delicious gourmet information. It was a lot of fun!

沖縄のメインの観光地ばかりだし
ホテルの前まで送迎もあり
ガイドさんもとてもいい人で
美味しいグルメ情報まで教えてくださり
楽しかったです！

It was a tour that combined stargazing and a night jungle experience. There was a thoughtful service where they asked us to check our boot sizes in advance to prepare for exploring the untouched jungle. Although it took about 30 minutes by car to reach the jungle, the guide's talks about Ishigaki Island made the journey enjoyable. On the day of the tour, there were few clouds, and we were able to see a beautiful starry sky. Due to my camera's performance, I couldn't capture nice photos myself, but I was very happy to receive beautiful photos of the starry sky taken by the guide at the end of the tour. The explanations about the animals and plants were easy to understand, and overall, it was a highly satisfying tour.

星空とナイトジャングルがセットとなったツアーでした。整備されていないありのままのジャングルを探検するため、予め長靴のサイズを確認の上用意して頂けるといった配慮のあるサービスもありました。ジャングルに向かうまで片道30分程度車での移動時間もありましたが、移動中もガイドさんの石垣島トークで楽しい気分でツアーに参加できました。当日は雲が少なくとても綺麗な星空を見ることができました。カメラの性能のため、ありうまく自分で綺麗な写真を収める事ができませんでしたが、ツアー終わりにガイドさんが撮影した綺麗な星空の写真を頂けたのもとても嬉しかったです。動物や植物の解説もわかりやすく、総合してとても満足度の高いツアーでした。
