All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

The weather was favorable, and I didn't have to wear rain gear even once. There were wooden bridges and stairs without handrails, so it's best to have proper equipment like hiking boots. Also, since you need to grab onto things while climbing, gloves are necessary.

There are many guides available, but I think they group participants based on their age and climbing experience. Since there were many older participants, we were able to climb at a slow pace, and everyone was able to make the round trip to Jomon Sugi without dropping out. Along the way, we took a lot of photos, and we got some great family pictures. Thank you very much.

お天気にも恵まれて､一度もレインウェアを着ることなかったです。手すりのない木の橋や階段があり､登山靴など装備はしっかりした方がいいです。また､掴めるものは掴んで登るのでグローブは必要です。
ガイドさんはたくさんおられますが、そのグループの参加者の年齢や登山経験など考えて､グループ分けされてガイドさんがつかれるのだと思います。年齢高めの人が多かったので、ゆっくりペースで登ってもらえたので、脱落することなく全員縄文杉まで往復できました。途中､たくさん写真も撮ってもらいました。良い家族写真が撮れました。ありがとうございました。

It had been about five months since my last visit, and there were some changes, such as the souvenirs being switched from touch pens to stickers, and the removal of the locker service for cameras and other items. However, the friendly and cheerful service from the navigator (flight attendant) with their motto of "安心、あったか、あかるく元気!" remained the same. I was also glad to see the extremely rare training scene of the pilot escaping from the cockpit.

約5か月ぶりの参加でしたが、お土産がタッチペンからシールに、カメラ等のロッカー預けがなくなるなどの進化がありました。でもご案内のナビゲーターさん（客室乗務員）の「あんしん、あったか、あかるく元気!」なご対応は変わらず。
そして、パイロットがコクピットから脱出するという超レアな訓練風景を見れて良かったです。

I had no mountain climbing experience and was anxious about participating alone, but the guide managed the pace and breaks appropriately, sharing stories about the plants and history along the way, which made the trekking enjoyable! Even as a solo participant, I bonded with others in the group while walking and chatting, and by the end, we became close enough to take a commemorative photo together! When I finally faced Jomon Sugi after walking for nearly five hours, I was moved as I reflected on its long history! The scenery along the way was beautiful, with the clear flow of the river, moss-covered trees, dripping droplets, and the miraculous sight of Yakushima deer; everything was captivating and energized me despite my fatigue. There were parts of the suspension bridge without handrails, which made me a bit anxious as someone with a fear of heights, but overcoming that made me feel a little stronger! At first, I thought the walking pace might be a bit fast, but thanks to that, I was able to take my time for photos with Jomon Sugi, and we had proper breaks, making for a well-paced itinerary! I participated in late August, and the trees were lush, providing plenty of shade, so I didn't have to worry much about sunburn. We could refill our water bottles with natural water from Yakushima several times along the way, which was helpful for wetting towels and staying hydrated. However, since some participants did retire along the way, I think it's best to join in good physical condition. I would like to challenge myself again!

登山経験が無く、1人参加だったため辿り着けるか不安でしたが、ガイドさんが適切にペース配分や休憩をとってくれて、道中で草木や歴史の話もしてもらいつつ、楽しんでトレッキングに参加できました！
1人参加でも同じグループの皆さんと歩きながら話しつつ絆が生まれ、最後には一緒に記念撮影する位仲良くなりました！5時間近く歩いて縄文杉と対面できた時は、長い歴史に思いを馳せて感動しました！！途中に見える景色はどれも美しく、清らかな川の流れ、苔むす木々や滴る雫、奇跡的に会えたヤクシカ、木陰から差す光まで、どれも魅力的で歩き疲れた私を元気づけてくれました。途中の吊り橋は手すりが無い場所もあって、高所恐怖症の私は少しうろたえましたが、それも乗り越えて少し強くなれた気がします！
最初は少し歩くペースが早いかも…と思いましたがおかげで縄文杉とゆっくり写真が撮れましたし、休憩もしっかりとって、メリハリある工程でした！8月下旬の参加でしたが、木々が生い茂り日陰が多く日焼けの心配もあまり無く、途中屋久島の天然水を何度か汲めるので、タオルを濡らしたり水補給が出来た事も助かりました。ただ途中リタイアされた方もいた為、やはり健脚で健康な状態での参加が望ましいかと思います。私ももう一回位チャレンジしたいです！

The sea was beautiful, and I was able to see turtles up close; it was truly amazing! It was my first time snorkeling, and I didn't know anything, but the explanations were very thorough, so I had a great time! They took many beautiful photos, which became wonderful memories. I also appreciated learning about the sea turtles and coral. Thank you! I would like to request this again when I come back to Miyako Island.

海も綺麗でカメも身近で見れて本当に最高でした！
初めてのシュノーケリングで何も分かりませんでしたが、丁寧に説明して頂けたので凄く楽しめました！写真も綺麗にたくさん撮って頂き良い思い出となりました。
また海でウミガメや珊瑚の事まで教えて頂き良かったです。ありがとうございます！
また宮古島に来た際はお願いしたいです。

I was impressed by the beauty of the ocean and the first sea turtle I saw! A cool guy kindly taught me snorkeling from scratch, making it enjoyable even for beginners. He gave me poses for photos and recommended spots after the experience. He was very kind, and I definitely want to ask for his help again when I come back to Miyako Island!

海の綺麗さと、初めてのウミガメに感動しました！
かっこいいお兄さんが、一からシュノーケリングを優しく教えてくださり初心者でも楽しめました。
撮影のポーズを指示してくださったり、体験後におすすめのスポットを教えてくださったりと、とても親切な方で、また宮古島に来た時は是非お願いしたいなと思います♪

Thank you very much for your assistance this time! The driver was very kind and also quite funny, which made the journey very meaningful! I participated using a wheelchair, and I truly appreciate all the help I received. I plan to request the same driver for my next trip to Okinawa!

この度はどうもお世話になりました！
運転手さんが大変優しくてかつ面白い方だったので、
道中とても有意義になりました！！
車椅子を利用しての参加だったのですが、
たくさん助けていただき、本当に感謝しています。
次回の沖縄も同じ運転手さんにお願いしようと思っています！

Since my flight on the last day was in the afternoon, I signed up for a half-day tour in the morning. I was grateful that I could book it the day before. I don't think I would have been able to explore as efficiently if I had rented a car myself.

On the other hand, there were two disappointing points.
1. As a solo participant, I had to pay for two seats, making the tour more expensive than for two participants. However, there were quite a few empty seats on the bus, and those who were part of a two-person group were comfortably sitting with two seats each. It felt a bit like I was being scammed with the solo participant surcharge.
2. Due to the recent typhoon, the bridge over the Seibu Forest Road was washed away, resulting in significant changes to the course. I hope for a swift recovery for the locals, as their lives must be inconvenient. However, I think it would have been good if the tour course details had been updated as well. I was looking forward to the beach, so it was disappointing.

最終日のフライトが午後便だったので、午前半日ツアーを申し込みました。前日申込できたのでありがたかったです。自分でレンタカーを借りていたら、こんなに効率的に周れなかったと思います。
一方、残念だった点が２つ。
①一人参加は2シート利用ということで、二人参加よりも高額なツアー料金でしたが、バスは空き席がかなりあり、2名参加の方も一人2シート使って悠々と座っていたこと。一人参加の割増料金の意味って・・・若干詐欺にあったような気分です。
②先日の台風で西武林道に架かる橋が流されたとのことでコースが大きく変更になっていました。地元の方の生活も不便でしょうし一日も早い復興をお祈りします。ただ、ツアーコースの記載内容も変更されていたら良いと思いました。ビーチ楽しみにしていたので残念です。

We used Sky Duck for our first family sightseeing trip in Tokyo. My 5-year-old daughter was initially afraid to get on the bus, but once she did, she was super excited! The tour guide provided detailed information about Tokyo (Odaiba), and both adults and children were very satisfied with the experience!

家族との初めての東京観光でスカイダックさんを利用いたしました。5歳になる娘は、当初バスに乗るのを恐がっていましたが、実際乗ってみると大興奮！ツアーガイドさんも細やかに東京（お台場）の観光案内をいただき、大人も子供も大満足の内容でした‼︎

This is my second time. I was a bit disappointed that there were fewer flowers than I expected compared to last time.

However, the bus guide was very kind and provided a lot of detailed information right up until we got off, which was enjoyable and helpful.

今回2回目
前回よりお花が思っていたより少なくて少し残念

でも、案内のバスガイドさんがとても親切で、いろいろ細かい情報を降りる寸前まで伝えてくれて、楽しかったし、助かりました

There are many meeting points, so it can take time to reach the sightseeing locations, which is a downside. However, the sightseeing spots are full of highlights and enjoyable. I think it's a tour that can be enjoyed by families, couples, and even solo participants.

集合場所がたくさんあるので、見学する場所まで時間がかかるのが難点ではあります。
見学場所は、見処満載で楽しめます。
家族、カップルなど1人参加でも楽しむ事が出来るツアーだと思います。

I felt that the service was a bit rough or careless, but the photos were taken very beautifully. Thank you.

ちょっと対応がラフというか、雑なところは感じましたが、写真はとても綺麗に撮っていただけました。
ありがとうございました。

The wonderful Noto Sea was blessed with great weather, and the ocean was a vivid deep blue. Just being able to see such a sea made me happy, and my friend who joined the tour and I were both moved. The seafood bowl we had for lunch was also fresh and very delicious. Participating in this tour allowed us to visit Noto, the Senmaida rice terraces we wanted to see, and the power spot Mitsuke Island all in one day, which left us very satisfied. The bus guide and the driver were kind, cheerful, and fun, and I didn't feel that the price was high at all. I definitely want to recommend this sightseeing tour.

素晴らしい能登の海　　お天気に恵まれて海は紺碧の鮮やかな碧　
そんな海を見れただけでも幸せで　一緒にツアーに参加した友人と2人で感動　ランチで食べた海鮮丼も新鮮でとても美味しかったです
このツアーに参加した事で1日で能登や行きたかった千枚田やパワースポット　見附島と全て周れて大満足の1日でした　バスガイドさんやバスの運転手さんも親切で明るく楽しい方々で　お値段が高いとは感じませんでした　是非　おススメしたい観光ツアーです

I had heard that Kyoto in the middle of summer is incredibly hot, so I signed up for a bus tour that took us to Fushimi Inari Taisha, Kiyomizu-dera, and Kinkaku-ji. My friend was cramping up and couldn't walk, so we decided to skip Arashiyama and got off the bus to return to the hotel. Considering the wait at the bus stop, I think joining the bus tour was the right choice.

真夏の京都は、暑さが半端ないと聞いていたので、バスツアーに申し込み伏見稲荷大社、清水寺、金閣寺を巡りました。
友達が脚が攣り歩けそうになかったので、嵐山は断念し途中下車しホテルへ帰りました。
バス停で待つ事を考えるとあの暑さは、バスツアーに参加して正解だと思います。

During our trip to Hokkaido as a couple, we participated in a tour. There was an audio guide, but the guide shared the charm of Sapporo in a thoughtful manner, making it a wonderful memory.

夫婦で北海道旅行の際、ツアーに参加しました。音声ガイドはありましたが、ガイドさんが札幌の魅力を丁寧に伝えていただき良い想い出になりました

They welcomed us at the airport and took us to the places we wanted to go while sharing a lot of stories about Okinawa. Since all nine of us could participate, it was much more economical than taking a bus.

空港でお出迎えしてくれ、沖縄の話をたくさんしてくれながら、行きたいところに連れて行ってくれました。
9人全員で参加できたので、バスより全然お得でした。

I was able to visit all the places I wanted in a short time. I efficiently visited locations that are difficult to reach without a rental car. At the outer market, after having a meal, I ran out of time and hurriedly did my shopping. If I had a little more time, I would have liked to try desserts like melon. The tour came with discount coupons, which was a great deal.

At the crosswalk in front of the outer market, cars do not stop at all. Please be very careful when crossing. It was a very enjoyable tour, even on my own.

短時間で行きたかった所を回れました。
レンタカー無しでは行きにくい場所を効率よく行けました。
場外市場では、食事をしたら時間が無くなり、大慌てで買い物しました。もう少し時間があったらメロン等デザートも食べたかったなぁ。ツアーには割引クーポンが付いていてお得です。
場外市場前の横断歩道、車が全く止まってくれません。渡る時はくれぐれもお気を付けて。
ひとりでも、とても楽しいツアーでした。

I was torn between plans that included the zoo, but I decided to go with this one because I wanted to enjoy the magnificent scenery of Hokkaido. It was a shame that the sky was cloudy, but I was able to visit all the places I wanted to go. Since it was a group activity, it was unavoidable to return to the bus within a limited time. If I have another opportunity, I’ve decided I want to visit some places at my own pace! Definitely during the lavender season!

Lunch was delicious and had a good portion size. Of course, drinks like wine are available for an additional charge. It might have been more enjoyable to have the dining table set for women, as it could have sparked more conversation. I was able to sit alone on the bus, which made it easy to relax and enjoy.

動物園の入ってるプランと迷いましたが、北海道の雄大な景色を堪能したいと思い、こちらに決めました。
曇り空やったのが残念でしたが、行きたいところ全て回れました
団体行動なので限られた時間でバスに戻ってくるのは仕方ない事。また機会があれば、個人でゆっくり行きたい場所も決まりました！ラベンダーの季節にも是非！
ランチも美味しくボリュームもありました。
もちろんワインなどの飲物は別料金で頼めます。
食事のテーブルは女性同士にしてもらった方が会話も弾んだかな？
バスの席は相席ではなく、1人で座れたので気楽に楽しめました。

This trip was planned around my child's wish to see a coconut crab, so we were thrilled to see the coveted coconut crab in person! The kids were super excited! We were lucky to encounter a large coconut crab as well, which made us very happy!

Walking through the dark forest felt like an adventure, and it was fun. Although some parts of the path were slippery and there were protruding rocks, the guides provided encouragement and matched our pace, allowing us to enjoy without any anxiety or fear.

The starry sky was incredibly beautiful and soothing. The explanations about the constellations were very educational. On the way back, we enjoyed quizzes about Ishigaki Island and even some spooky stories, making the tour fun from start to finish.

The guide's personality and storytelling were fantastic! This was the most enjoyable tour I've ever participated in. I will definitely join again when I come back to Ishigaki Island. Thank you!

今回の旅行は、子どもの「ヤシガニが見たい！」で企画した石垣島旅行でしたので、動画の中で見た憧れのヤシガニを生で見ることができ、子どもたちは大興奮でした！運良く、大きなサイズのヤシガニにも出会えて嬉しかったです！
真っ暗な森を歩いて行くのも、探検をしているようで楽しかったです。途中足場が滑りやすかったり、岩がせり出ている道もありましたが、細かな声掛けやゆっくりとペースを合わせていただき、不安や恐怖心もなく楽しむ事ができました(^^)
星空も最高にキレイで癒されました。星座の説明もしていただき大変勉強になりました☆
帰り路の車内でも、石垣島クイズやちょっと怖いホラー話も聞かせていただき、最初から最後までずっと楽しいツアーでした。
ガイドさんの人柄やトークも最高でした♪今まで参加したツアーの中で1番楽しかったです。
また石垣島に来た際は参加必須です( ◠‿◠ )
ありがとうございました！

I was taken only to the places I wanted to go, and I enjoyed my time there with my own free activities✨ It was the best tour!

行きたいところのみ連れて行っていただき、その地では自分だそれぞれの自由行動で満喫✨
最高のツアーでした

It was a day tour in a large van instead of a bus. I was a bit anxious since there was no introduction from the travel company, but… perhaps the staff were not Japanese. Two months ago, I used Veltra for a day tour in Australia and had a good experience, so I trusted it. The five Japanese travelers quietly started and relaxed comfortably in the car. It seemed that each person spent two hours in Takayama and Shirakawa-go. If possible, even without any guidance, I think the trip would have been more fulfilling if we had received brochures or maps in advance!

バスでなく、大型のバンでの1日ツアーでした。
旅行会社の名乗りもなく、少し不安でしたが…多分スタッフの方は日本人でなかったのかな…
2ヶ月前にはオーストラリアでの1日ツアーでヴェルトラを使い、よかったので信じておりました。
静かにスタートした５人の日本人旅行者も車の中でゆったりくつろいでいました。
高山と白川郷それぞれ2時間ずつをそれぞれが過ごせた様子。
可能ならば、何の案内も無くても良いけど、
パンフとか地図を事前に配布してもらえたらより旅が充実したと思いました！！

I persuaded my daughter to participate. I wasn't confident in my physical strength, so I was considering retiring if necessary, but I still really wanted to see Jomon Sugi. The guide told us that once we reached the end of the trolley path and started climbing, if we couldn't go together, we should retire and head back. I was informed that there wouldn't be a bus after 5 PM. I couldn't keep up with everyone and dropped out at Wilson Stump, but my daughter suggested that since we were already there, we should go to Jomon Sugi together. We took photos at Jomon Sugi and then returned to the entrance of the trolley path where the guide was, and we walked back to the trailhead together, but it wasn't even 4:30 yet. I felt rushed and had a very unpleasant experience.

娘を説得して参加しました。
体力に自信がないのでリタイヤもありで
それでもやっぱり縄文杉を見てみたいと言う思いでした。
ガイドの方からちゃんトロッコ道が、終わり登りになると
一緒に行けないならリタイヤして帰るよう言われました。
帰りのバスが、５時過ぎるとないとの事、
皆さんの足についていけずウィルソン株で外れましたが、娘が、せっかくだから縄文杉に行こうと二人であとから行き
縄文杉で写真を撮ってまたトロッコ道の入り口にガイドさんがいて一緒に登山口まで帰りましたが、まだ４時３０分にもなっていませんでした。
急かされて、大変不快な思いになりました。

I found a tour that goes to Shiratani Unsuikyo for just half a day, starting in the afternoon, since my flight arrived in Yakushima before noon! Most tours start early in the morning, but this one began at noon and the trekking itself took just a little over three hours. I was able to return in the evening. I had a Jomon Sugi tour scheduled for the next day, so it was a great way to warm up my legs.

昼前に屋久島に着く飛行機だったので、午後開始で半日だけで白谷雲水峡に行けるツアーを探していて見つけました！
朝早いツアーが多いですが、昼スタートでトレッキング自体は3時間ちょっと。夕方には帰ってこれました。
翌日に縄文杉ツアーを入れていたので、いい足慣らしができました。

On the second day of my 2-night, 3-day trip to Kanazawa, I participated in a Shirakawa-go bus tour. The guide, Mr. Kuroda, provided very clear explanations, and everything he recommended, from delicious coffee to great photography spots, was spot on. Among his recommendations, the "Nama Doburoku" from Kondo Shoten was particularly delicious. There are both dry and sweet options, and if you enjoy alcohol, I recommend the dry one. The driver was also friendly, and I had a wonderful time.

2泊３日の金沢旅行の２日目に白川郷バスツアーに参加しました。添乗員さんの黒田さんの説明がとても分かりやすく、美味しいコーヒーや、お薦めの撮影スポットなど、どれもハズレなしでした。オススメしてくれた中でも今藤商店の「生どぶろく」がとても美味しかったです。辛口と甘口がありお酒好きなら辛口がオススメです。ドライバーさんも親しみ易く、楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。

I was able to see 7 sea turtles!
Since there were fewer participants on a weekday, I felt like I got a good deal!
I was also good at taking photos!
Thank you for the many great pictures!

They also taught us about marine life besides the sea turtles.

Valuables can be kept in the guide's car.
Shinjō Beach has changing rooms with showers.
I recommend going by car!

ウミガメ7匹見れました！
平日の参加で参加者が少なかったので得した気分でした！
写真も撮るのうまかったです！
いい写真たくさんありがとうございます！

ウミガメ以外にも海の生物について教えてくれました。

貴重品などはガイドさんの車で預かってもらう形です。
新城海岸はシャワー付きの更衣室あります。
車で行くのがおすすめです！

The tour guide provided great recommendations for how to explore shrines and temples, as well as photo spots, making the experience very smooth! The easy-to-understand map was also a big help. With many international visitors, we were able to stick to the schedule and make good use of our free time.

神社やお寺のおすすめの周り方や写真スポットをツアーのガイドさんが教えてくださりとてもスムーズに周ることができました！わかりやすいマップも大活躍でした。
海外からのお客さんも多い中、時間厳守で動けて自由時間を使うことができました。

Through this tour, I was able to see various jobs at the airport.

I got to touch my favorite airplanes and had a great time.

このツアーを通じて、空港の様々な仕事が見えて来ました。

大好きな飛行機に触れて、楽しい時間を過ごせました。

The tour guide was knowledgeable about the island's unique wildlife, and we were able to see frogs, the largest spider in Japan, a natural monument shell, a bagworm, and the coconut crab we were hoping to see. It was a very enjoyable night tour for animal lovers! Thank you for the valuable experience.

ツアーのガイドさんが、島固有の生物に詳しく、カエルや日本最大の蜘蛛、天然記念物の巻貝、ミノムシ、目的だったヤシガニにも会えて、生き物好きには、とても楽しい夜のツアーとなりました！
貴重な体験ありがとうございます

It was a long 10-hour journey, and I had to be mindful of things like early morning starts and restroom breaks along the way. However, for those who regularly hike or trek, the path was mostly gentle with wooden planks laid out, and the pace of the trek itself was slow. As a result, there was almost no damage during or after the hike, making it an enjoyable trekking experience. Thank you very much.

10時間という長丁場で、早朝からの始動と道中のトイレなどは気をつかいますが、それ以外は日頃、登山やトレッキングをしている人であれば木を敷き詰めた優しい道中がほとんどであり、またトレッキング自体のペースもゆっくりなので、登山中や登山後もダメージがほぼない楽しいトレッキングでした。
ありがとうございました。

Unfortunately, I participated in the tour in the rain. The itinerary included a mangrove tour in Iriomote Island, a bus tour around Iriomote Island, crossing to Yubu Island by water buffalo cart, and free time and lunch on Yubu Island. Although we couldn't see the beautiful ocean due to the rain, I was still able to enjoy the extraordinary scenery and environment. Personally, the water buffalo cart was the most impressive and charming part. Additionally, on Yubu Island, I was able to touch the water buffalo and take pictures. Overall, even though it was rainy, I felt that it was good to participate in this tour because, in Ishigaki, activities are limited when it rains.

あいにくの雨の中でのツアー参加となりました。コースとしては、西表島でのマングローブツアー→西表島のバス観光→由布島に水牛車で渡る→由布島でフリータイム&昼食というコースでした。雨だったので、綺麗な海などは残念ながら見れなかったのですが、非日常の景色や環境はそれなりに楽しめました。個人的には水牛車が一番印象的で風情があります。また、由布島では水牛に触れたり、写真を撮ったりすることができました。総じて、雨ではあったものの、逆に石垣では雨でやることは限られるので、雨だったからこそこのツアーに参加してよかったなと思いました。

The pioneer village, crab house, Cape Earth, the town and night view of Hakodate, the morning market, the Trappistine Monastery, Onuma Park, and Hell Valley... It was a very fulfilling trip with beautiful scenery, delicious food, and a hotel with hot springs for accommodation.

開拓村、カニ屋敷、地球岬、函館の町や夜景、朝市、トラピスチヌ修道院、大沼公園、地獄谷、、、綺麗な景色に美味しい物、宿泊のホテルも温泉付きで大変充実した旅になりました。
