All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

Thanks to the interesting stories about history shared during the bus ride, I was able to enjoy exploring Shirakawa-go and Gokayama Sakaura. Thank you very much.

The early conclusion of the tour made it easier for me to move on to my next destination.

I also appreciated the specific recommendations for spots and restaurants.

歴史など興味深いお話をバスの移動中にたくさんしてくださったおかげで、白川郷と五箇山相倉を楽しく散策することが出来ました。
ありがとうございました。

早めの解散でしたので、次の移動をしやすかったです。

ピンポイントでのおすすめのスポットと飲食店も教えて頂けたので助かりました。

I searched for a tour that could take me to the northernmost part, which is difficult to access individually, and I applied for this one. It was great that we could efficiently cover the area.

Since the hotel I was staying at was far from the meeting point, I had called a taxi for the morning, but unfortunately, it was forgotten for my individual booking, and I almost missed it! I hurriedly called the contact number for assistance, and it turned out that I could catch up by taking a bus partway. I managed to make it just in time! I'm glad my family trip wasn't ruined. I'm grateful to the kind tour guide and driver!

Later, when I asked the tour guide, I learned that if I had requested directly from the tour company from the beginning, I could have specified a meeting point closer to my hotel.

Overall, I was very satisfied with the tour itself, but it seems that the raw fish lunch didn't sit well with me, and I felt a bit unwell afterward. Normally, I don't have such issues and am usually quite sturdy. That was a bit disappointing.

個人ではなかなか行きにくい最北部に行けるツアーを探してこちらを申込しました。効率的に回れて良かったです。
宿泊しているホテルが集合場所から離れていたので朝タクシーを呼んでいたのが、なんと個人のため忘れられて間に合わないという事態に！あわてて連絡先に電話して対応相談、通り道途中までバスで行けば合流できそうということで何とか間に合いました！家族旅行の計画が台無しにならず良かったです。親切な添乗員さんと運転手さんに感謝！
後で添乗員さんにきいたら、最初からツアー会社に直接依頼すれば、ホテルから近いその合流場所を指定することもできたみたいでした。
また、ツアーそのものは満足度高かったですが、生魚の昼食が体に合わなかったようで、その後ちょっと体調をくずしました。普段は余りそんなこともなく丈夫なはずなのに。それがちょっと残念でした。

The driver's guidance exceeded our expectations. Not only did they fulfill our wishes, but their suggestions also proved effective, allowing us to tour efficiently.

ドライバーの案内は、こちらの期待値以上でした
希望を叶えて頂いた上に、ご提案が功を奏して、
効率よく巡回する事が出来ました

I was able to fully enjoy Kyoto in just one day. Our guide, Maria, was very pleasant, and her explanations and guidance were accurate, which gave me a sense of security. It was a bit disappointing that the tempura was cold, but that might be unavoidable. The time spent at the sightseeing spots was just right. I'm really glad I chose this tour.

1日でたっぷり京都を満喫できました。
ガイドのマリアさんもとても感じよくて、説明や案内が的確で安心感がありました。
仕方ないのかもしれないけれど、天ぷらが冷めていたのが残念でした。
観光地の滞在時間もちょうどよかったです。
このツアーにして本当によかったです。

The tour instructor was very polite and provided precise instructions while filming, which I appreciated. The time flew by as it was so much fun. I would like to have videos and photos taken in a different style again next year.

ツアーのインストラクターの方が非常に丁寧で　的確な指示で動画を撮ってくれ　ありがたかった。とても楽しくあっという間に時間が過ぎた。また来年も違うパターンで動画や写真を　撮って頂きたいです。

I was able to efficiently visit places that I wouldn't normally go to by myself. The guide's stories were interesting, and the day flew by. It was a very fulfilling tour.

自分では、なかなか行けない場所を効率よく行くことができました。ガイドさんのお話も面白く、１日があっという間でした。とても充実したツアーです。

The weather was great, and of course, the sightseeing was excellent, but the highlight was our guide, Catherine. She provided explanations in Japanese, English, and Chinese, and was attentive to everyone from all countries. As a solo participant from Japan, she always reached out to me. She did this for the entire group. Just watching her made me feel good.

天気が良く最高の観光ができたのはもちろんのことガイドのキャサリンさんが素晴らしかった。日本語、英語、中国語で説明をしてくれたり、全ての国の方々全員に気配りをしていました。私は一人参加の日本人ですが常に声をかけてくれました。それを全てのグループにしていました。その姿を見ているだけで気分がよくなりました。

It was a small group of six people. Since we were moving as a group, I had to be a bit mindful of time-consuming adjustments to clothing. The path seemed straightforward enough that we wouldn't get lost, but it was nice to hear about points of interest that we might have overlooked without a guide. I was also happy that our guide took many photos for us.

In the end, we had to descend quickly due to the bus schedule (only on the trolley path), which was a bit tiring, but I think it was good to have someone lead us since missing the bus would have been more difficult.

Since it was nearly a 10-hour trek, I realized that building up physical strength is essential for the Jomon Sugi trekking.

6人の少人数のグループでした。グループでの行動なので、時間のかかる服の調整などは少し気を使いました。
道に迷うことはなさそうな道ではありましたが、ガイドさんなしだったらスルーしてしまいそうな見所も聞きながら行けたのはよかったです。写真もたくさん撮ってくれるガイドさんだったので嬉しかったです。
最後はバスの時間がありかなり速足での下山(トロッコ道のみ)となり少し疲れましたが、バスに乗れない方が大変なのでリードしてもらったのはよかったかなと思います。
10時間近くのトレッキングになるので、縄文杉トレッキングには体力作り必須だとよくわかりました。

I was satisfied with the sightseeing tour, which felt like a school trip. Participants gathered on time, and there were no delays in departure. There was hand sanitizer at the boarding and alighting doors. The lunch was also delicious.

修学旅行並みの観光地巡りで満足。参加者が時間厳守で集合し、出発遅れなし。乗降扉に消毒液あり。ランチも美味しかった。

On the first day, the dinner at the Churaumi Aquarium tour was just like the scene from the TV show "Chimudondon," as all the guests danced the Kachashi.

１日目は美ら海水族館観光コースの夕食のあんがまはみんなお客さんがカチャーシーを踊るのでちむどんどんのTVのまんまでした。

I viewed the city landmarks from the window of the car and explored the suburbs on foot. I wanted to visit the Okurayama Jump Stadium. Although there is an additional fee, I recommend taking the lift to the top. You can get a panoramic view of Sapporo city and see the jump platform up close.

街中の名所は車窓から、郊外は下車観光しました。大倉山ジャンプ競技場行ってみたかった場所です。別料金ではありますが、リフトに乗って上まで行くことをオススメします。札幌の街が一望できます。ジャンプ台の迫力も間近で見ることが出来ます。

Both the guide and the driver were cheerful and greeted us often, which made me very happy.

Their clear explanations allowed me to fully enjoy Shirakawa-go for the first time. It was a fun day. Thank you.

I would also like to visit Shirakawa-go in winter, so I hope to have your assistance then.

ガイドさん運転手さん共に明るく、よく挨拶や声がけしてくださり、とても嬉しかったです。

わかりやすい説明もあり、初めての白川郷を満喫することが出来ました。
楽しい一日でした。
ありがとうございます。

また冬の白川郷にも行ってみたいのでその時は宜しくお願いします。

This was my first trip to Ishigaki Island, so I wasn't sure what to do, and I joined a day tour that included Iriomote Island and Yubu Island.

When we arrived at Iriomote Island and transferred to a bus, the driver provided a lot of explanations about the island, which helped me understand more and made the sightseeing more enjoyable. On Yubu Island, which we crossed by water buffalo cart, there was a lush subtropical botanical paradise. It felt like being in another country. There were flowers and various types of plants that can only be seen in Okinawa.

You can also experience a butterfly garden and a pond with many water buffalo, as well as interact with them. Although I didn't have high expectations for lunch, it was a delicious meal with generous portions, allowing us to enjoy Okinawan cuisine.

The final mangrove cruise was a relaxing way to view the mangrove forest from the boat, and the guide provided explanations about the ecology of the mangroves, the plants, and the creatures, making it an informative experience.

This trip was not just about enjoying the scenery; I was able to learn various information while having fun, which made me very satisfied. If it's your first time in Ishigaki Island and you're feeling lost or want to have a more enjoyable trip, I highly recommend participating in this tour.

石垣島旅行は初めてなので分からなくて西表・由布島めぐり日帰りツアーに参加しました。

西表島に着いてバスに乗り換えて移動する時に、運転手さんが島についてよく説明してくれていろいろ分かるようになったし、より楽しく観光ができました。
水牛車に乗って渡った由布島では自然豊かな亜熱帯植物楽園がありました。
海外に来たような雰囲気でした。
沖縄でしか見られない花やいろんな種類の植物があります。
蝶々園とたくさんの水牛がいる池、水牛ふれあい体験までできます。
昼食も付いてて大した期待はありませんでしたが、ボリュームもあって沖縄料理を楽しめるおいしい食事でした。
最後のマングローブ遊覧はマングローブ林をのんびり船から見学ができ、ガイドさんがマングローブの生態や植物、生き物について解説しながら案内してくれて学びの多い時間でした。
景色だけを楽しむ旅行ではなく、様々な情報も一緒に学びながら楽しむことができて、その点にとても満足しました。
石垣島が初めてで迷っていたり、もっと楽しい旅行をしたい方はぜひ参加してほしいです

The mangrove canoe activity was amazing, allowing us to enjoy the magnificent nature! They explained things at our pace and guided us, which made us feel safe participating in the tour.

特にマングローブカヌーでは壮大な自然と共にアクティビティが出来て最高でした！
私たちのペースに合わせて説明して下ったり、誘導してくださり、安心してツアーに参加することができました。

Buses only leave once every 50 minutes, so even if you rush to visit the attractions, you can only cover about 3 to 4 places in a day, which is quite poor value for money. At this rate, taking a taxi might be cheaper.

There is a QR code at the bus stop that shows the real-time location of the bus, but for some reason, it is not accurate at all. I thought the bus was quite delayed, so my husband went to a nearby bookstore, and just after that, the bus arrived, and I had to call him to hurry back. What was that information about?!

Additionally, the service from the woman in her 50s who was guiding on the bus was very poor, making me question whether this service is really in Japan. Since this is a representative town of Japan with many foreigners, I think it would be better to have the kind of attentive service that Japanese people are known for.

50分に一本しかバスが出ていないので、猛ダッシュをして名所を回っても、一日で3カ所〜4カ所しか回れず、コスパはかなり悪いです。これならタクシーの方が安いかもしれません。
バス停にQRコードがあり、リアルタイムで現在のバスの位置が出てくるのですが、なぜか全然正確ではありません。かなり遅れていると思い、近くの本屋に主人が行くと、その後すぐにバスが来てしまい主人に電話して慌てて戻らせました。あの情報はなんだったんだ！という感じです。
更に、バスで案内する50代くらいの女性の対応が非常に悪く、このサービス、対応にここは日本？？と疑うほどでした。
外国人も多い、日本を代表する町なので、日本人らしいきめ細やかな対応がよいと思います。

In November, it was a day with strong southern winds, and there was occasional light rain, but we were able to go sightseeing as planned. I had seen the gassho-zukuri style many times in photos, but the real thing was even more impressive and moving than the pictures. I believe there are challenges in maintaining it, but I hope it can be preserved for future generations. I also appreciate the staff's assistance with the tourist information.

11月ですが南風の強い日であり、時より小雨が降りましたが、予定通り観光することができました。合掌造りは、写真では何度も見ておりましたが、実物は写真以上のものがあり素晴らしく感動しました。維持していく大変さもあるとは思いますが、後世に残してもらいたいものです。
観光案内など、スタッフの対応にも感謝しています。

I had lunch at Nago Fishing Port based on a recommendation from the driver. There were many locals there, which made me think it must be a great place, and indeed, I was very satisfied with the reasonably priced and delicious food!

ドライバーさんの紹介で名護漁港で昼食をとりました。地元の人たちがたくさん来ていて、美味しいお店なのだと思いましたand実際、リーズナブルで美味しい料理で大満足でした！

The glass-bottom boat took us out to the sea, and they worked hard to find fish, but there were fewer than I expected. When we threw out some bait, large, simple fish came around. I was hoping to see some more unusual fish, which is why I gave this rating. We visited three islands, and everyone guided us smoothly, so I didn't have any issues.

グラスボードは海のスポットに出て一生懸命魚を探してくださるけど、思っていたような魚は少なく餌をまくと大きなシンプルな魚がやってきました。
もう少し変わった魚が見えるかと思っていたのでこのような評価としました。
3島巡りをしましたが、皆さん流れ良く案内等をしてくださり、困る事もありませんでした。

I was able to take wonderful photos while learning many interesting facts about the stars. I would like to use your services again when I come to Miyako Island.

星の豆知識もたくさん教えていただきながら、素敵な写真を撮っていただけました。
また宮古島に来た際にはご利用させていただきたいです。

I participated with my daughter during the three-day weekend. In the morning, we visited Hōryū-ji, and in the afternoon, we went to Jikō-in, Yakushi-ji, and Tōshōdaiji. Hōryū-ji had many highlights. The lunch was also very generous. Jikō-in had a calm and serene atmosphere, and the matcha and wagashi were very delicious. Yakushi-ji and Tōshōdaiji were also wonderful. The weather was perfect, and thanks to the guide's thorough explanations and the driver's safe driving, it became a lovely memory. Considering the admission fees and lunch costs, this tour was a great value, so I definitely want to participate in the tour to Kitora Tomb as well!

　三連休に娘と参加しました。午前中は法隆寺，午後は慈光院，薬師寺，唐招提寺という行程でした。法隆寺は見どころがたくさん。昼食もボリュームたっぷり。慈光院はしっとりと落ちついた雰囲気で，お抹茶と落雁がとても美味しかったです。薬師寺や唐招提寺も素晴らしかったです。天気が最高だったことはもちろん，ガイドさんの丁寧な説明と運転手さんの安全運転で，素敵な思い出になりました。今回のツアーは拝観料や昼食代を考えるとコスパが良かったので，キトラ古墳に行くツアーにも是非参加したいです！

I participated because we were scheduled to disperse at Kyoto Station at 5 PM! However, it actually ended up being 6 PM, which messed up my next plans. The guide mostly spoke English since there were many foreigners. I only understand Japanese, so I was completely lost! I feel like I wasted my money paying for the same thing.

At one point, a foreign participant didn't return on time, and during the initial explanation, we were told that if they didn't come back, we would be left behind and would have to chase the bus ourselves. We ended up waiting for that person for several minutes. However, they never returned, resulting in a significant loss of time!

I cannot recommend tours with many foreigners. The schedule was so different that I feel like I want a refund.

17時に京都駅解散予定だったので参加しました！
実際は18時解散となり、次の予定が狂いました。
外国人の方が人数が多いからとガイドはほとんどが英語でした。
こちらは日本語しかわからず、ちんぷんかんぷんですよ！同じ事お金を払ってとても損をした気分です。
途中、外国人の方が時間通りに戻らず、初めの説明では戻らないと置いていく、置いていかれたら自分でバスを追いかけてと言われていましたが、
戻らない方を数十分待つ事になりました。
しかしその方は戻っては来なく、大変なタイムロスです！！
外国人の多いツアーはオススメ出来ません。
あまりにも予定が違うので返金して欲しい気分です。

We participated in this on our honeymoon! The guide was very friendly and approachable. It took about 30 minutes by car to reach the jungle, but along the way, he shared a lot of interesting facts and history about Ishigaki Island, which was very educational. The travel time felt like it flew by.

In the jungle, we were able to see various creatures like coconut crabs and hermit crabs. Many of them are not found in the Kanto region, so I was excited every time I spotted a new creature! It felt like I returned to my childhood and had a great time. We went with a family that had small children, and the guide was considerate of them, so we could relax and enjoy ourselves!

Finally, the guide also recommended a restaurant on Ishigaki Island, which impressed me with their hospitality.

新婚旅行で参加しました！
ガイドさんはとてもフランクで感じの良い方です。
車で30分ほどかけてジャングルに向かったのですが、道中石垣島の歴史や豆知識をたくさん話してくれるのでとても勉強になりました。また移動時間もあっという間に感じます。
ジャングルではヤシガニやヤドカリなどいろいろな生物を見ることができました。関東では見ることができないのもばかりで、生物を見つけるたびに興奮！童心に帰って楽しむことができました。子供連れの家族と一緒に回りましたが、小さい子供にも気を遣ってくれていたので、安心して遊べます！
最後にガイドさんおすすめの石垣島のご飯屋さんも教えてくれるので、ホスピタリティに感動しました。

The pickup from the hotel was at 8:00, but the driver arrived at 7:30, and we had a meeting starting at 7:45. We visited the limestone caves at Okinawa World and enjoyed delicious beer, the blue sky, and the blue sea at Umikaji Terrace. It was a fulfilling five hours. The last day was the best. If I go to Okinawa again, I would definitely like to use this service again.

ホテル８時のピックUPでしたが、ドライバーさんは７時半には来てくれていて、７時45分から打ち合わせ。
沖縄ワールドで鍾乳洞をみて、ウミカジテラスで、おいしいビールと青い空、青い海を満喫しました。充実した５時間でした。
最終日が一番良かったです。
また、沖縄に行ったら、ぜひまた利用させていただきたいです。

The weather was favorable, and I was very satisfied with the day's itinerary.

The tour guide was excellent and made for a fun experience. However, I was quite surprised by the number of tourists. As expected, Kyoto is popular... Moreover, I was astonished that more than 80% of them were international visitors. There are pros and cons to the inbound tourism that has been in the news, but I could really feel it.

I am very grateful to the tour guide and the driver for their assistance. Thank you very much.

天気にも恵まれて１日のコースとしては、大変満足いたしました。


添乗員さんが大変良く楽しい体験になりました。しかし、観光されている方が多いのには、大変驚きました。さすが人気の京都ですね、、、しかも、大半（８割以上）海外の方には大変驚きました。ニュースになっているインバウンドにも善し悪しありますが、実感できました。
添乗員の方にとドライバー様には大変お世話になりました。
ありがとうございました。

I traveled from Ishigaki Island's ferry terminal to Iriomote Island and took a mangrove cruise. I knew the cruise wouldn't go too far into the mangroves, but I was a bit disappointed that we turned back much sooner than I expected.

Next, I took a water buffalo cart to Yubu Island. Yubu Island felt like a botanical garden and was very beautiful. The water buffalo cart was just as I had hoped.

Lunch at the island's cafeteria was also good.

Then, I visited Taketomi Island. Since I added all the options, we first went on a glass-bottom boat to see the corals and fish. The water clarity was a bit poor due to the typhoon that had just passed, but I was satisfied because I could still see corals and fish. It would have been even better if the water had been clearer, but that's just luck.

After that, we toured the island by microbus. I was a little disappointed by the number of people. Finally, I rode the water buffalo cart again to circle the island, and then we walked around the places we visited by water buffalo cart until it was time for the ferry. We were taken by bus to the ferry terminal and then took the ferry back to Ishigaki Island's ferry terminal.

I was very satisfied to have visited three islands in one day.

石垣島離島ターミナルより西表島に渡り、仲間川マングローブクルーズ。
マングローブクルーズはあまり奥まで行かない事は分かっていたが、期待していたよりも全然手前で戻ってしまったので少し残念。

次に水牛車で由布島へ。
由布島は全体が植物園の様な感じでとてもキレイでした。水牛車も期待通りで良かったです。
島の食堂でのランチも良かったです。

そして三島目の竹富島。
オプションを全部付けたので始めはグラスボートでサンゴと魚を見に行きました。
台風直後だったので水の透明度が少し悪かったですが、サンゴも魚も見れたので満足。
水が透明だったらなお良かったですが、こればかりは運ですね。
その後マイクロバスで島内観光。人の多さに少しがっかりでした。
最後は水牛車に乗ってもう一度島内をぐるりと回り、その後船の時間まで歩いて水牛車で回った場所をおさらい。
フェリー乗り場までバスで送ってもらい、フェリーで石垣島離島ターミナルへ。

1日で三島巡りできてとても満足でした。

On the last tour I participated in, I unfortunately didn't get to see any sea turtles, so I joined this one in Miyako Island for a revenge tour! I encountered one after swimming for about 10 minutes and was very satisfied! The staff also took photos for us and were considerate of our well-being, so I felt safe and enjoyed the whole experience!

前回参加したツアーではウミガメが残念ながら見れなかったので、宮古島でリベンジで参加しました！泳いで10分程で出会えて大満足でした！スタッフの方も写真を撮ってくれたり、体調を気遣ってくれたりで終始安心して楽しめました！

While it's possible to explore on your own, taking a sightseeing bus allows for a more efficient experience. Additionally, with a guide's explanations, you can view the buildings and statues from a different perspective. It was an enjoyable tour, filled with fun insider stories from a bright and knowledgeable guide. However, the pace was quite rushed. I would recommend departing at least two hours earlier, or at least one hour earlier, to have more time to appreciate each location.

個人でも回ることは可能ですが、観光バスでは効率よく回ることができます。
また、ガイドさんの説明付きなので建物や仏像をこれまでとは違った観点で見られます。明るく知識豊富なガイドさんから裏話的なことも聞けて楽しい観光でした。
ただ、かなり駆け足状態です。出発をできれば2時間、少なくとも１時間早めて各地をもっとじっくり拝観できればと思います。

I ran the Kanazawa Marathon and participated in a tour the following day. There were many inbound tourists, and there was an interpreter guide as well. The Japanese guide's polite and cheerful explanations were very good. The walking time was just right, and I was able to enjoy it. Thank you very much.

金沢マラソンを走り、その翌日にツアーに参加しました。インバウンドの方が多く、通訳のガイドさんもいらっしゃいました。
日本人ガイドさんの丁寧で明るい説明がとても良かったです。
散策時間も程よく、楽しむことが出来ました。ありがとうございました。

The weather was great, and even though we had a large group with two buses, it was a very enjoyable day. The guide was wonderful and seemed very knowledgeable, fluent in both Japanese and Chinese. I made friends and realized that participating alone can be a great experience. I would definitely like to use this service again. It's fantastic that solo participation is allowed. Thank you very much!

天気にも恵まれ、バス二台という大人数でしたが、とても楽しい一日でした。
ガイドさんも、素晴らしくとても良く勉強しているようで、日本語も中国語も堪能で、友人もでき、一人での参加も良いものだと思いました。
また是非利用させてもらいます。一人での参加がオーケイが素晴らしい。
本当にありがとうございました。

It was the peak of the autumn leaves, and despite it being a busy day during the three-day weekend, we were able to go smoothly thanks to the bus tour!

We hardly got stuck in traffic and were able to fully enjoy Shirakawa-go at a leisurely pace! The guide's trivia was also enjoyable, and I participated with genuine joy!

I will join again!

紅葉ピークであり、3連休のという混雑した日にもかかわらず、バスツアーということでスイスイ行けました！

渋滞にハマることもほぼなく、ゆっくり白川郷を満喫できました！
ガイドさんの豆知識も楽しく、心の底から楽しく参加させてもらいました！

また参加します！
