All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

I made a reservation because it was trending on TV and social media, and I definitely wanted to experience it. The weather was also favorable, and I was able to have a rare experience. Diving from land to sea was impressive, and the view after getting out to sea was wonderful. I enjoyed seeing the Rainbow Bridge from below and being surrounded by many seagulls while cruising. It was so much fun that I wished I could do it twice.

TVやSNSで話題だったので､是非体験してみたいと思い､予約しました
天気にも恵まれ､滅多に味わえない体験が出来ました
やはり陸から海へのﾀﾞｲﾌﾞは迫力あるし､海に出た後の眺めも素晴しく､rainbow bridgeを下から滑る様に見る事が出来たり沢山のかもめに囲まれながら遊覧するのも良かったです
楽しかったので2周してほしいと思ってしまいました

I was blessed with a great guide and fellow members, and I was able to reach the goal safely, even at my age! I received amazing energy from Jomon Sugi! Thank you very much.

ガイドさんとメンバーさんに恵まれて
アラ還の私も無事にゴール出来ました！
縄文杉からスゴいパワーをいただきました！
ありがとうございました。

I have traveled to various places, but this is the first time I met a bus guide with such a pleasant voice and rich, enjoyable stories! Thank you so much, Watanabe-san, for a truly fun trip. I traveled with my high school daughter and my 80-year-old mother, and I was worried about keeping both of them entertained, but they both had a great time, and we really enjoyed ourselves! Thank you very much. The weather was also great, which made it even better. If I come back to Hokkaido, I would love to request you again if possible. The tour content was fulfilling, and since the autumn leaves were a bit late this year, I was glad we could see some. It was expected that some shops would be closed due to the post-COVID situation! I hope everyone keeps doing their best. I am also doing my best in the nursing field, which is facing a labor shortage. Let's work together to make Japan enjoyable with the strength of the Japanese people.

今まで色んな所に旅行してましたが、こんなに心地よい声と内容の濃い話、楽しい話が出来るバスガイドさんに初めて会いました！渡辺さん。ほんとに楽しい旅行ありがとうございました。高校生の娘に80歳のお母さんを連れての旅行で、どちらにも退屈させないよーにって気遣ってたのですがどちらにもとても好評で、本当に楽しい時間が過ごせました！ありがとうございました。お天気も良くて最高でした。また、北海道に来た時は可能なら指名したいぐらいです。ツアーの内容も、充実してて、紅葉も、今年は遅かったから、少しは観れたので良かったです。コロナ明けでお店が閉まってたのは想定内です！皆さん頑張って欲しいです。自分も人手不足の介護で頑張ってます。日本を日本人の力で楽しく盛り上げていきましょう。

The guide was kind and cheerful, allowing everyone to enjoy the tour! They were very accommodating with sudden additions and changes to the tour, creating wonderful memories. Thank you very much!

ガイドさんがみなさん優しく明るくツアーを楽しむことができました！
急なツアーの追加や変更など快く応じてくださりとても良い思い出ができました。
本当にありがとうございました！

On the last day of my trip to Yakushima, I participated in the Yakuzaru bus tour. Since I had been trekking to Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo, it was great to be able to do some sightseeing on the last day. I was very satisfied to be taken to various places that are not easy to visit individually, such as Kuriohama, Ohkawa Falls, Chihiro Falls, Nakama Gajumaru, and Kigen Sugi. The guide's stories were enjoyable, and I was able to spend a wonderful, relaxing time. The souvenir shop we stopped by had a rich selection, and I was able to make some great purchases. From the bus window, I could also see monkeys and Tanegashima, making it a worthwhile experience.

屋久島旅行最終日に屋久島周遊やくざる号に参加しました。縄文杉と白谷雲水峡のトレッキング続きだったので、最終日に島内観光が出来て良かったです。個人ではなかなか行きにくい栗生浜、大川の滝、千尋の滝、中間ガジュマル、紀元杉等々、様々な場所に連れて行っていただけて大満足です。ガイドさんのお話も楽しく、素敵な癒しの時間を過ごすことができました。途中、立ち寄ったお土産さんの品揃えも豊富で、お得な買い物が出来ました。車窓からは、親子猿や種子島などを眺めることも出来、参加して良かったです。

The mangrove tour in Iriomote Island was a valuable experience. I was moved by the scenery that was so different from my daily life. I also rode the water buffalo cart twice on Yufu Island and Taketomi Island, but it was a special experience with different landscapes, making for a memorable day. It's quite difficult to pack such a schedule into one day on your own, so I'm glad I could participate.

西表島のマングローブ遊覧も貴重な体験でした。
日常からかけ離れた景色に感動しました。
水牛車も由布島と竹富島で２度乗りましたが
又違った風景で特別な経験ができて思い出深い１日になり大変よかったです。
なかなか個人では１日にこれだけのスケジュールを詰め込むことは難しいので参加できてよかったです。

I was taken past Akama Shrine without any announcement. Other than that, I thought it was great to visit various places. There were many convenient pickup locations, but I felt that it made us run behind schedule. There were even some foreign travelers who missed their flights because of it.

何のアナウンスもなく赤間神宮を飛ばされました。それ以外は色々な場所に行けて良かったと思いました。ピックアップ場所が多く便利ではあるが、そのせいで時間が押してる様に思えた。帰りの飛行機に間に合わないと、途中下車した外国人の方もいました。

There are parts that are unavoidable due to road congestion, but we only had a little over an hour to stay in Shirakawa-go. It was disappointing that we had to rush through.

道路混雑で仕方ない部分もありますが、白川郷での滞在時間が1時間ちょっとしかなかった。とても急いで回らなくてはならなくて、残念でした。

Mr. Okubo was very interesting. He explained various things by contrasting them, which made it easy to understand. For example, the comparison of fuel efficiency between light vehicles and 1000cc cars.

大久保さん大変面白かったです。色々の事を、対比して説明して頂き分かり易かったです。
例えば軽自動車と１０００ccの車の燃費比較とか。

I wanted to try out the OSMO Pocket 3, which is said to perform well in night scenes, so I boarded an open-deck bus to experience the Midosuji Illumination.

夜景に強いといわれるOSMO Pocket3を御堂筋イルミネーションで試してみたく、オープンデッキバスに搭乗しました。

The snorkeling point had crystal clear water, abundant coral and fish, and I was very satisfied to see sea turtles as well. The guide was kind and explained the points with currents in advance, which made me feel very secure. During the SUP tour, they guided us to points that were less affected by wind and waves, and although it was my first time on a SUP, I managed to enjoy it without falling off until the end. In between the tours, they also recommended local spots and restaurants, making it an overall very satisfying experience. Thank you very much.

シュノーケルポイントの海が透き通っていて、珊瑚や魚も多く、ウミガメも見れて大満足させていただきます。
ガイドさんが親切かつあらかじめ流れがあるポイントなどを事前に説明してくれるのでとても安心できました。
SUPツアーでも風や波の影響を受けにくいポイントを案内していただき、初めてのSUPでしたが何とか最後まで落ちることなく、とても楽しむことができました。
ツアーの合間で現地のおすすめの場所や飲食店も教えてくださり、全体を通してとても満足させていただけるツアーでした。
ありがとうございました。

I booked three tours with this tour company, and I was grateful for their flexibility in adapting to changing circumstances.

1. Jomon Sugi
2. Shiratani Unsuikyo (Taiko Rock)
3. One-day bus tour

Initially, I had planned to do Shiratani on the last day, but since the weather looked like it was going to turn bad, they changed the schedule with the bus tour! Additionally, if I rented either of the first two, I could use it on both days without any extra charge.

The service was good even at a low price. If you're booking more than two tours, I think it's better to go with the same tour company.

The trekking tour depends on the guide.

⚫️ Jomon Sugi
The guide was very kind and considerate of everyone's pace! They also took time at the photo spots, which made for wonderful memories!!

⚫️ Shiratani Unsuikyo
The guide's service was the worst. While it was nice that they provided warm miso soup for lunch and shared a lot of knowledge, they were impatient and started guiding before everyone arrived, and they didn't allow time for customers to take photos. They took pictures with their own smartphone. At first, I appreciated it, but... the device was old, the images were grainy, and they only took one picture without checking the content! When I asked for another shot, they made a displeased face. Moreover, some pictures had me with my eyes closed, and honestly, it felt like the guide was just satisfying their own needs for photos.

This is not a place you can visit many times in your life. While it may be routine for the guide, participants have trained for months and invested both time and money to join. It's disappointing that the memory photos turned out poorly.

However, I was really glad that Jomon Sugi was not guided by this terrible guide.

こちらのツアー会社で3個のツアーを申し込みましたが、状況変化にも臨機応変に対応頂き、ありがたかったです。

①縄文杉
②白谷雲水峡（太鼓岩）
③1日バスツアー

当初、白谷を最終日にしていましたが、天気が悪くなりそうでしたので、バスツアーと日程を変えてくれました！またレンタルも①②どちらかのレンタルすれば両日追加料金なしで使用させてくれました。

低価格でもサービスは良かったです。
もし2個以上のツアーを申込むなら同じツアー会社のが良いと思います。

トレッキングツアーは、ガイドさんによると思います。

⚫️縄文杉
とても親切でみんなのペースを考えながら案内してくれました！また撮影ポイントでは時間を取ってくれてとても良い思い出になりました！！

⚫️白谷雲水峡
ガイドさんの対応が最悪でした。
ランチに暖かい味噌汁を提供してくれたり、知識が豊富で色んな案内をしてくれるのは良いのですが、せっかちな方で全員が到着する前に案内をはじめたり、お客さんの撮影時間を取ってくれなかったり。ご自身のスマホで撮影します。最初はありがたいと思いましたが…機種が古く画像が粗い＆1枚づつしか撮影せず中身も確認しない！もう1枚撮影して欲しいとお願いしたら嫌な顔をされました。しかも、目を閉じているものもあり、正直ガイドさんの自己満足な撮影です。

一生に何度も行ける場所ではありません。ガイドさんにとっては日常かもしれませんが、参加者は何ヶ月も前からトレッキングのトレーニングをして、お金も時間もかけて参加しています。思い出写真は残念でなりません。

ただ、縄文杉がこの最悪なガイドさんじゃなくて本当に良かったと思いました。

I was surprised to find that out of more than 40 passengers gathered at the meeting point and boarding the bus, only four were Japanese. With over 30 being Chinese and the guide also being Chinese, I felt quite out of place and started off with low energy. However, the guide spoke fluent Japanese, recommended famous spots, and provided explanations, showing great enthusiasm for taking photos, which made the experience very enjoyable. This was my second bus tour in Sapporo, and it was a tour where I could truly feel the great outdoors, leaving me very satisfied. I even thought I would like to request that guide again next time!

集合場所に集まりバスに乗り込んでみて、なんと４０人を超える乗客の内、日本人はたったの４人と言う事に先ずは驚いた。
３０人以上が中国人で、ガイドさんも中国人と言う事に、かなりアウェイ感があり、テンション低めで、スタートしたが、ガイドさんが流暢な日本語で、名所おすすめや説明をしてくれ、写真を撮ってくれサービス精神旺盛でとても楽しめた。
札幌のバスツアーは2回目だが、大自然を感じる事の出来るツアーで大満足でした。
次回もあのガイドさんにお願いしたいなぁと思えるほどでした！

I participated in a fall foliage bus tour, but this year, perhaps because it was warm, the leaves hadn't fully changed color, which was a bit disappointing.

Since it was a bus tour, the schedule was fixed, so I couldn't take my time to enjoy the places I wanted to see. I had to get on and off the bus, which made it hard to fully enjoy the experience.

However, it was nice to visit places I wouldn't have gone to on my own, and the weather was good.

紅葉バスツアーの参加でしたが、今年は暖かいせいか、紅葉とまではなっていなくて、少し残念でした。

バスツアーなので、時間が決められるので、ゆっくりと見たい所で見れず、バスに降りたり乗ったりで、あまり楽しめませんでした。

ただ、自分では、行かない所まで行けたのと、天気が良かったのは、よかったです。

The sightseeing was enjoyable. The guide was also good.
As for the local lunch, I think there were fewer participants, which might have contributed to the limited variety, and the food wasn't very tasty.

観光は楽しいかったです。ガイドの人も良かった。
ご当地ランチが‥
参加者もら少なかったのもあるたら思いますが種類も少なくご飯が美味しく無かったです。

Our tour guide, Mr. Lee, was very attentive and provided thorough explanations, even though there were only two of us, a Japanese couple, participating in the tour, which required him to speak both Taiwanese and Japanese. He worked closely with the driver, ensuring a smooth tour. At the sightseeing locations, he greeted other tour guides with a smile, making for a well-organized and satisfying experience overall. Thank you.

添乗員の、リーさん(男性)。今回は日本人参加者が私たち夫婦2名だけだったので台湾語と日本語を話さなければならず、大変だったにも拘わらず、懇切丁寧に説明をしてくださいました。また、運転手さんとの連携も密にとり、スムースなツアーが出来ました。見学地では他の添乗員さんとも笑顔で挨拶を交わすなど全てにおいて卒のない、接遇で満足のいくツアーでした。
ありがとうございます。

I had booked another stargazing tour, but it couldn't be held due to the full moon. Although there are many other stargazing tours available, most of them also do not operate during the full moon period, so I thought I would have to give up until I found this one.

At first, there were clouds, but when the sky cleared, they quickly took photos, and I was very satisfied with the pictures I got.

I would love to request this again when the stars are beautiful, thank you!

別の星空撮影ツアーを予約しておりましたが、
満月の影響で開催できませんでした。
他にも星空ツアーはたくさんあるものの、同様に満月期間は開催不可のところばかりで、諦めるしかないかと思っていたところでこちらを見つけました。

初めは雲がかかっていましたが、晴れたタイミングでテキパキと撮っていただき、大満足な写真が撮れました。

星が綺麗なタイミングでもまたお願いしたいなと思います、ありがとうございました！

I had a great time swimming with fish and sea turtles in the beautiful ocean! I took a lot of pictures, and it was a wonderful memory!

綺麗な海で魚やウミガメど泳げて楽しかったです！！
写真もたくさん撮ってくれ素敵な思い出です！！！！

Even if you're not used to swimming, the instructor will guide you to the sea turtle spot, so you can feel very safe. I discovered many sea turtles in the beautiful ocean, and even as a snorkeling beginner, I had a great time!

泳ぎなれていなくてもインストラクターさんが引っ張ってウミガメスポットまで案内してくれるのでとても安心です。綺麗な海でたくさんのウミガメを発見、シュノーケリング初心者でも楽しめて、とてもステキな時間を過ごせました！

The service from the tour guides was absolutely wonderful! Both the departure and arrival were on schedule, and the lunch course was stylish and delicious, which made me very satisfied! We were originally planning to participate as a group of three, but unfortunately one person couldn't join us due to health issues at the last minute, so I hope to go together next time!

添乗員さん達の対応がとても素晴らしかったです！出発も到着も予定通り、ランチコースもオシャレで美味しくて大満足でした！今回３人で参加の予定だったのに、直前で体調不良により一人参加出来ず残念だったので、次回一緒に行きたいと思います！

It was great to see various places and hear about Yakushima from the guide. There were also people getting off at the airport. They might be flexible with arrangements. The bus was not very large, and the seats were a bit tight. I recommend making an early reservation.

色んな場所が観れて、ガイドさんから屋久島について話が聞けて、とても良かったです。空港で降りてる方もいました。融通をきかせてくれるのかもしれません。バスは大きくなく、シートもちょっとキツかったです。早めの予約をお勧めします。

It was very good.
There were explanations about the Okinawa region during the travel, so I wasn't bored.
I wanted more time at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, so I would like to participate again if there is a tour focused specifically on the Churaumi Aquarium.
Considering transportation costs and transfers to get to the Churaumi Aquarium, I think participating in a tour is the best option, so I believe there is demand for it...
Please consider this.

とても良かったです。
移動中も沖縄の地域の説明などがあり退屈しませんでした。
美ら海水族館の時間がもっと欲しかったので行き先を絞った美ら海水族館に特化したツアーがあればまた参加したいです。
美ら海水族館に行くには、交通費や乗り継ぎの事を考えるとツアーに参加するのが最適だと思うので需要はあると思うんですが…
是非ご検討ください。

It was a pleasant trip on a sunny and warm day. I think it's best to wear comfortable clothes and shoes since you'll be walking a lot. I'm glad I participated not just in Kanazawa city but also ventured a little further.

晴れて暖かい日で気持ちいい旅でした。しっかり歩くので歩きやすい服装と靴で参加するのがいいと思います。金沢市内だけでなく少し足をのばして参加して良かったです

It was a bit early for the autumn leaves, but there were a lot of people everywhere. We were delayed a little due to traffic congestion, but the guide made it exciting, and it was a very enjoyable bus trip. Thank you.

紅葉には少し早かったですが、どこも人が凄い。交通渋滞で少し時間が遅くなりましたが、ガイドさんが盛り上げてくれてとても楽しいバス旅でした。ありがとう。

I visited Nikko Toshogu Shrine for the first time after its renovation. It was during the autumn foliage season, so there were quite a lot of people, which would have made it difficult for individuals. However, we were able to view the shrine as a group without waiting in line for tickets, but even an hour and a half felt insufficient. The traffic on Irohazaka was terrible, and unfortunately, we couldn't see Kegon Falls as it was already dark. I participated in a tour in Chinese and English for the first time, and even with just one Japanese person, the perspective changed. It was a great opportunity to study English and feel like I was traveling abroad, making it an enjoyable experience.

日光東照宮を修繕後初めて見ました。紅葉の時期でかなり人手が多いので、個人では大変だったかと思います。団体でチケットなどまだ並ばずに観覧できましたが、滞在時間は1時間半でも足りない感じでした。いろは坂の渋滞はひどく、華厳の滝は残念ながら日没してしまい見れませんでした。中国語、英語のツアーに初めて参加しましたが、日本人1人でも視点が変わり、英語の勉強にもなり、海外旅行気分で、楽しく参加できました。

This was my first time in Miyako Island, so I wanted to enjoy the sea as much as possible, and I signed up for two experiences: SAP and snorkeling. Both my husband and I are just before our sixties, so we had some concerns, but we went ahead and booked. We didn't know the experience locations until the day before, but that made it exciting to find out where we would be going.

The day before, we were informed that SAP would be at Ingyā Bay and snorkeling would be at Shigira Beach. For SAP, we were taught the basics in the calm bay, and by the end, we were able to paddle while standing. Balancing on the board was challenging, but even as beginners, we had a great time!

After that, we moved to Shigira Beach for snorkeling. They provided us with wetsuits, masks, and fins, and we thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful Miyako Blue sea, swimming among the fish and coral. Unfortunately, we didn't see any sea turtles, but the underwater world felt like a different realm, making it an unforgettable experience.

The staff who taught us were very polite and provided excellent support. We also got some wonderful photos taken. Thank you to all the staff! I definitely want to come back to Miyako Island again.

今回初めての宮古島でしたので、できるだけ海を楽しもうということで、SAPとシュノーケル体験を二つ申し込みました。
夫婦二人共還暦前なので若干不安もありましたが、勢いで申し込みました。
前日にならないと体験場所がわかりませんでしたが、逆に何処なのか楽しみでもありました。
前日に連絡がありSAPはインギャーの入江、シュノーケルはシギラビーチとなりました。
まず初めてのSAPでしたが、穏やかな入江で基礎から教えてもらい、最後は立って漕ぐことができました。ボードの上でのバランスが難しいですが、初めてでも十分に楽しめました！
その後場所をシギラビーチに移しシュノーケルをしました。ウエットスーツとマスク類や足ヒレなども準備してもらいシギラの宮古島ブルーのとてもきれいな海で魚や珊瑚を存分に楽しみました。
残念ながらウミガメには会えなかったですが、別世界のような海は忘れることができないくらい最高の体験でした。
教えてもらったスタッフも丁寧で親切なサポートがとても良かったです。
素敵な写真も撮ってもらえました。
スタッフの皆様有り難うございました。
また宮古島に絶対来たくなりますよ。

It was my first time in Shirakawa-go, and I felt a bit disappointed because of the rain, but upon arrival, I found that the rainy Shirakawa-go had its own charm and was really wonderful.

初めての白川郷、雨で少し残念な気がしていましたが、到着してみると雨の白川郷も情緒があってとてもよかったです。

I have never participated in such a terrible tour. After gathering in Shinjuku, there was no announcement when the bus departed. I had no idea where we were going or how long it would take. Even when we arrived at the destination, there was no information about where we had arrived or when to regroup; everyone was checking on their own. I chose this tour because it was supposed to be in English and Chinese, but there was absolutely no explanation at each sightseeing spot. I regretted not joining a regular Japanese tour instead.

At Toshogu Shrine, the bus parking was a bit far away, and I was relieved that everyone (mostly Chinese) returned safely without any accidents. I participated in this tour thinking it would be nice for my overseas friends, but I was disappointed. I believe this is not just a problem with the guide but a quality control issue with Veltra. If the customers had been Westerners, I think there would have been complaints on the spot, and accidents like getting lost could have occurred.

I hope they work on improving the quality of the tours.

これだけ酷いツアーには参加したことがありません。
新宿集合後、バスが出発しても何のアナウンスもありません。どこに行くのかどのくらい時間が掛かるのか全く分かりません。バスが到着してもどこについたのかいつ再集合かボード、アナウンス全くなく各々確認していました。英語、中国語のツアーとのことで選んだのですが各観光地の説明は全くありません。これなら日本語の普通のツアーに参加すればよかったと思いました。
東照宮ではバスの駐車場は少し離れた場所で良くみんな（ほとんどが中国人）無事に事故無く帰ってきたと思いました。
ベルトラさんの海外のツアーに参加して今回は海外の友達にいいかなと思い参加しましたががっかりです。
これはガイドさんの問題でなくベルトラさんの品質管理の問題だと思います。お客が欧米人ならその場で文句が出ていたと思いますしはぐれて帰ってこないなどの事故が起こっていたかと思います。
ツアーの品質改善に取り組んでほしいと思います。

It would have been nice to have a little more time to ask questions separately. I was disappointed that there was only a brief Q&A during the tour. There were so many things I wanted to ask because it was such an exciting place!

もう少し別枠で質問できる時間があったらよかった
ツアーのコースの中でのちょっとした質疑応答のみが残念
聞きたいことがありすぎて興味わくわくな場所だった

It was my first time in Yakushima. On the first day, I went to Jomon Sugi, and on the second day, I visited Shiratani. Despite the fatigue from the previous day, I was able to take my time and enjoy the scenery.

Compared to Jomon Sugi, Shiratani is easier, but since it is still a hike, I strongly recommend being well-prepared! If you're not confident about reaching Jomon Sugi but want to experience the scenery and air of Yakushima, the Mossy Forest might be a good option. If you feel you can push a little more, you might consider going to Taiko Rock.

This time, due to the timing of my return flight, I couldn't make it to Taiko Rock, but if I have the chance next time, I would like to go to Taiko Bridge.

And I want to mention our guide, Mr. Yamamoto, who is turning 80 this year. He truly loves Yakushima and guided us with such vitality, making the hike very enjoyable! Thank you very much!

初めての屋久島でした。1日目は縄文杉、2日目は白谷に行きました。前日の疲れもある中でしたが、ゆっくりと景色を見ながら行く事が出来ました。
縄文杉と比較すると楽ですが、やはり登山なので準備はしっかりして行かれる事を強くお勧めします！
縄文杉まで行く自信は無いけど、屋久島の景色や空気を味わいたい方は、苔むす森までが良いかもしれません。
もう少し頑張れそう！という方は太鼓岩まで行かれても良いかと思います。
今回は帰りのフライトの時間もあり、太鼓岩へ行くことは出来ませんでしたが、次の機会があれば太鼓橋まで行ってみたいです。

そして今年80歳になられるガイドの山本さん。本当に屋久島が好きで生き生きと案内して下さり、とても楽しく登る事ができました！有難うございました！
