All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

I thought it would be impossible for me, who is directionally challenged, to sightsee in an unfamiliar place, so I used a sightseeing bus for the first time. I was able to go to the places I wanted, and the guide provided explanations and was considerate of my elderly mother, making the experience enjoyable. Thank you very much. The guide was lively and gave me energy as well.

知らない土地の上に、方向音痴の私が観光することは不可能と考え、初めて観光バスを利用しました。行きたいところにはいけたし、ガイドさんが、説明してくれたり、高齢の母を気遣ってくれたりして、楽しく観光出来ました。ありがとうございました。ガイドさんが、生きいきしていて、こちらも元気をもらいました。

This is a popular tour that is always fully booked even on weekdays. On this day, there was training for cabin attendants, mechanics, and pilots, and we were able to observe it in person. We got to watch videos of the view from the cockpit, sit in business class seats, and even mimic cabin attendants, making for a hands-on experience. There are also exclusive ANA products available for purchase that you can't find anywhere else. Uniquely, there is a capsule gacha (limited to one per person) featuring used equipment, and I ended up getting an oil gauge! I think it's a delightful gacha for enthusiasts. Since this is an irregularly scheduled tour, reservations fill up quickly, so be sure to book early.

平日でも毎回満員御礼の人気ツアーです。この日はCA さん、整備士さん、パイロットさんの研修が行われていて実際に見学しました。コックピットからの景色の映像を見たり、ビジネスクラスのシートに座れたり、CA さんの真似事をしたりと、体験もできます。ここでしか購入できない限定のANA商品もあります。ユニークな事に、使用済み機材がカプセルに入ったガチャ（1人1回まで）があって、私はオイル計が出てきましまた！マニアには嬉しいガチャだと思います。
不定期のツアーなので、すぐに予約が埋まってしまうので、早めにご予約を。

The day before our visit to Miyako Island, it had been rainy. However, on the day of our reservation, we were greeted by a beautiful starry sky and wonderful staff. We took a taxi, and they welcomed us with flashlights, so we felt no anxiety even in the dark meeting place. We were able to see many stars and the Milky Way with the naked eye, but the photos sent to us the next morning sparkled with several times more stars than we saw in person, which was truly moving. The kind photographer even took care to ensure we had a taxi for our return. It became a wonderful memory.
We want to say a heartfelt thank you to the photographer, who is beautiful inside and out.

前日までは雨天だったという宮古島。予約の日はとてもきれいな星空と素適なスタッフさんが迎えてくれました。タクシーで行きましたが、フラッシュライトで合図しながら出迎えてくださり、暗い集合場所でも不安はありませんでした。肉眼でもたくさんの星と天の川を仰ぐことができましたが、翌朝送っていただいたお写真には、肉眼で見た星々の数倍も煌めいており感激致しました。帰りのタクシーの心配もしてくださるようなお優しいカメラマンさんでした。素適な思い出になりました。
We want to say a heartfelt thank you to the photographer, who is beautiful inside and out.

- I appreciate the consideration for the bus seats. My neighbor was a Japanese woman, and we had a lively conversation during the trip.
- We were able to visit many places in a short time. Meals and snacks were on an individual basis, which was great as there was no unnecessary waiting time.
- The driving was safe. The driver was skilled and responded quickly when a car came rushing in.
- If you want to use your time efficiently, this is the best tour.
- The tour guide was very kind and cheerful, which was wonderful! I'm very satisfied❣️ I will book again. ^ ^

Starting with the friendly reception staff at the bus company, and the fun storytelling of our professional bus guide, Chieko, I’m really glad we chose this company! (I’m not sure if there are other companies in Ishigaki.) We were blessed with great weather and truly enjoyed the beautiful Ishigaki Island. But it was hot! The air-conditioned bus was a blessing! The only downside (?) was that the bus seats were a bit narrow for my American husband. But that’s just something he can fix by losing some weight! We were dropped off directly at the airport, and it was the perfect length for sightseeing. I highly recommend it. I hope you get Chieko as your guide!

バス会社のフレンドリーな受付の人達に始まり、プロのバスガイドの千恵子ちゃんの楽しい話っぷりと、この会社を選んでよかった！　(石垣に他の会社があるのかは知りませんが) 天気に恵まれ、本当に綺麗な石垣島を満喫できました。　でも暑かった〜。　キンキンに冷えたバスが有り難かった！　　唯一の難点(？)はアメリカ人の主人にはバスの椅子がちょっと狭かったかな〜？　でもこれは彼が痩せれば良い話です〜　　そのまま空港に降ろして頂き、ちょうど良い長さの観光でした。　お勧めです。　千恵子ちゃんにあたるといいね！

It was a short morning bus tour, but I really appreciated the guide's thoughtful care and the detailed explanations about Okinawa during the ride. Thank you very much.

短い午前中のバスツアーでしたが、ガイドさんの細やかな気遣いや車中では沖縄に関しての詳しい説明がとてもありがたく思いました。
ありがとうございました。

Waking up at 3 AM, the long trek on the cart path, the tough mountain climbing, and finally seeing the size of Jomon Sugi was truly moving. Even though it was beyond the fence, I was overwhelmed by its presence, having lived there since ancient times. All my fatigue disappeared, and I was just so glad to have come.

We were part of a group of about eight people, including a veteran guide full of love for Yakushima and a newcomer who had moved to Yakushima. At first, the walking pace felt a bit fast, but considering the long journey and the frequent breaks, the time management was excellent.

The guide's stories about Yakushima's nature and history were very interesting.

朝３時起き、長いトロッコ道、キツイ山登り、その先に会えた縄文杉の大きさに感動でした。柵の向こうだけど、太古の昔からそこに生き続けている存在感には圧倒されました。疲れも吹っ飛び、ただただ、来れて良かった。
屋久島愛に溢れたベテランガイドさんと屋久島に移住した新人ガイドさんと参加者の人達８人くらい？のグループでした。最初は歩くペースが早い気もしましたが道のり長いし、休憩もこまめに取るためで、時間配布としては申し分なかったです。
屋久島の自然や歴史等のガイドさんの話がとても面白かったです。

This tour was very fulfilling for the price and duration. The choice of sightseeing spots was satisfying, and I was able to enjoy it even as a solo traveler. Thank you very much.

今回のツアーは値段と時間の割にとても充実したツアーでした。どこも満足の行く観光地のチョイスで ひとり旅でも充分楽しめました。
ありがとうございました

Wow, I never expected to meet so many sea turtles up close like this! It was a tour that greatly exceeded my expectations, and I was absolutely, incredibly satisfied! I'll leave the details of the tour to the photos and other reviews, but here’s some information about the departure point (Shinjō Coast).

■ Meeting Time
Depending on the sea conditions on the day of the tour, you might receive a call the day before requesting a change. I had my time changed from 11:00 to 09:00.
■ Meeting Place
The meeting place is the light van parked in the parking lot.
■ Parking
There are both free and paid options (2,000 yen/day), but the free parking was full by 08:30.
■ Changing Rooms
There are three changing rooms each for men and women, which are public shower rooms as well. Since the storage shelves are high up, it's convenient to bring a waterproof bag (a plastic bag is fine) and a hook.
■ Shower Room
This is shared with the changing rooms. You can use the shower (only water?) for 100 yen for 5 minutes.
■ Toilet
The toilet is in the same building as the changing room/shower room.

To make the most of your time, I recommend wearing your swimsuit when heading to the tour departure point.

I received over 50 photos via LINE. I will definitely participate again next time!

いやー、こんなに近くで、しかも何匹ものウミガメさん達に会えるとは。。。
参加前の期待値を大幅に超えた、大大大満足のツアーでした！
ツアーの内容は写真と他のレビューにお任せするとして、ここではツアー出発地（新城海岸）の情報を少しお伝えします。

■集合時間
ツアー実施日の海の状況によって、変更を依頼する電話が前日にかかってくることがあります。
自分は11:00→09:00に変更になりました。
■集合場所
駐車場に駐車している軽のバンが集合場所です。
■駐車場
無料と有料（2,000円/日）がありますが、無料駐車場は08:30の時点で満車でした。
■更衣室
公設？のシャワー室兼用の更衣室が男性用、女性用とも3室ずつあります。
物置き用の網棚が高い位置にあるので、防水バック（レジ袋でOK）とフックを持っていくと便利です。
■シャワー室
更衣室と兼用です。
100円で5分間シャワー（水のみ？）が使えます。
■トイレ
更衣室/シャワー室と同じ建物にあります。

時間を有効に使うためにも、参加時は水着を着てツアー出発地に向かうことをお勧めします。

次回も絶対参加しまーす！！

I participated with my 83-year-old mother-in-law. Since there were 18 people on the tour, we were able to sit with some space between us. Both the guide and the driver were nice, which made me feel at ease.

At Asahiyama Zoo, we were lucky enough to see the "Mogumogu Time" with the penguins, polar bears, and the tamarin. The main goal of the trip, the Blue Pond and Shirahige Falls, had great weather, and we were able to take the best photos. The timing for bathroom breaks was also good, making it a fun day of sightseeing.

We participated as a pair, and when I calculated the costs of the rental car, gas, tolls, and the fatigue from driving, I definitely felt it was worth it. If I can come to Hokkaido again, I would like to join another tour with this company. My energetic 83-year-old mother-in-law also walked well and enjoyed participating.

８３歳の義母と参加しました。
ツアー客18人だったので間隔を空けて座れました。
ガイドさんも運転手さんも良い人で安心しました。
まず旭山動物園では、運良くペンギン・白熊・手長ざるの「モグモグタイム」を見る事が出来ました。
1番の目的、青い池や白ひげの滝は天候も良く最高の写真が撮れました。
トイレ休憩のタイミングも良く楽しい1日観光でした。
2人で参加しましたが、レンタカー代・ガソリン代・高速代・運転の疲れなど計算したら絶対お得だと思いました。次、北海道へ来れたら
またコチラの会社のツアーに参加したいですね。
８３歳の元気な義母も、しっかり歩いて楽しんで参加していました。

The stars were incredibly beautiful!! The staff was very kind and attentive! It seems like they offer other activities as well, and I thought I would like to try them next time I visit Miyako Island!! I definitely recommend everyone to give it a try ^_^

めちゃくちゃ星が綺麗でした！！お兄さんもすごく優しくて対応もよかったです！
星以外にもやってるみたいで、次に宮古島きたらお願いしたいなとおもいました！！
ぜひみなさんやってみてください^_^

The weather gradually worsened, and our guide mentioned, "Even if we go to Chihiro Falls, you might only hear the sound and not see the waterfall," but we were able to see it safely! For some reason, when we got out of the car at other spots like Gajumaru and Okawa Falls, it would start to drizzle or the rain would stop... It felt miraculous that we could enjoy everything. On the way back, I was grateful for the kind ride back to the hotel. I was worried about whether the plane would take off, but miraculously, it cleared up and we flew safely! It's quite difficult to explore Yakushima alone, but thanks to this experience, I had a fulfilling and memorable trip to Yakushima.

天候がだんだん悪くなり、ガイドさんから「千尋滝に行っても、音だけで滝は見られないかも」とのお話がありましたが、無事見ることができました！
その他ガジュマルや大川の滝もなぜか車を降りると小雨になったり、雨が止んだり…
奇跡のようにすべてを楽しむことができました。
帰り、親切にホテルまで送ってくださってありがたかったーです。
飛行機が飛ぶか心配でしたが、これも奇跡的に晴れて、無事飛びました！
なかなか一人では、屋久島を回ることはできませんが、お陰様で充実した思い出深い屋久島旅行になりました。

We were able to relax and take photos while being guided on posing, all while our favorite music was playing!

たまたま私達がよく聞く音楽が流れる中、ポージングの指定もしてくださり、リラックスして撮影できました！

It was my first trip to Shirakawa-go and Gokayama. The guide and driver were very attentive and provided detailed explanations, plus they kindly recommended great photo spots, making for a very meaningful and enjoyable day. Thank you very much. If I have the chance, I would like to participate in other bus tours as well.

初めての白川郷と五箇山の旅行でした。ガイドさんと運転手さんの行き届いた気配りと詳しい説明、プラスおすすめの写真撮影のスポットまで親切に教えていただき、大変有意義で楽しい一日を過ごすことが出来ました。ありがとうございました。また機会があればほかのバスツアーにも参加したいです。

The guide who assisted us was very nice, and we had a fun tour! Although the bus was full, it was on time, and I was able to relax and enjoy the trip without worrying about my return ticket. The information about the sightseeing spots was clear, and I received helpful recommendations for shops along the way, which was great. Also, the bus driver was friendly and had a smile. The ride was smooth and comfortable. I hope to use this tour company again someday! Thank you!

案内いただいたガイドさん！とっても良い方で、楽しくツアーができました！
満席でしたが、バスは時間が正確で帰りの切符を購入しておりましたが気にせず安心して回れました。
観光地の情報も分かりやすくて、お店の情報も適宜教えてもらったりと大変良かったです。
あと、バスの運転手さんも笑顔で良い方でした。振動はなく乗り心地良かったです。
また、いつかこちらのツアー会社でと思っております！ありがとうございました～！

The first half was rainy, but it was sunny when we arrived at Jomon Sugi! I was incredibly happy!
I had hardly done any mountain climbing before, but with the kind advice from our guide, I was able to return safely.
It was really fun!
I fell in love with Yakushima. I will come again!

前半は雨でしたが、縄文杉に到着した時には晴れ！最高に幸せでした！
登山はほとんどしたことがない私でしたが、ガイドさんの親切なアドバイスをあれこれいただき、無事帰ることができました。
本当に楽しかったです！
屋久島大好きになりました。また来ます！

I'm satisfied with the wonderful photos that became great memories. The photographer was also interesting, and we had a fun time during the shoot. The stars were beautiful, and I enjoyed them even with the naked eye.

思い出になる素敵な写真が撮れて満足です。
カメラマンさんも面白く、楽しく撮影出来ました。
星も素敵な場所で肉眼でも楽しめました。

What surprised me at first was that the bus had unreserved seating. (I’ve seen this in bus tours abroad, but it seems rare for bus tours in Japan…?) This means that the later you board, the fewer seat options you have, so if you definitely want a window seat or don’t want to be separated from your group, it’s better to arrive early.

On the day of the tour, there seemed to be many participants from overseas, but the atmosphere inside the bus was quiet. Even if someone was a minute or two late, everyone was well-mannered. It was nice to see that everyone seemed to be enjoying the sightseeing, which made me feel happy too.

I have visited Hokkaido many times, but the scenery varies greatly depending on the location and even the season at the same place. For those traveling alone without a car but wanting to visit various places and enjoy stunning views, this tour was truly appreciated. I would love to participate in a tour like this again.

最初に驚いたのが、バスが自由席だったこと。
（海外で参加したバスツアーにはそういったものもありましたが、日本のバスツアーでは珍しい気が…？）
つまり、乗車時間が遅くなるほど席は選べなくなるので、絶対に窓側に座りたい方や、グループで参加するのにバラバラになりたくない方は早めに行ったほうがいいです。

当日は、海外からのお客様も多く参加されていたようでしたが、車内は静かで、集合時間に遅れても1～2分程度で、皆さんマナーがよかったです。
観光中もとても楽しんでいる様子でしたので、何だかこちらまで嬉しいような気持ちになりました。

北海道には何度も訪れていますが、場所によって、また同じ場所でも季節によって、ずいぶん風景が違いますね。
一人旅・車ナシ、でも色々な場所に行って絶景を楽しみたい人にとっては本当にありがたいツアーでした。
またこのようなツアーがあったら参加したいです。

The weather forecast was completely rainy, so I participated without much expectation, but as we approached Cape Hedo, the sky suddenly cleared up, and the views from the two observation decks at the cape were amazing. Just seeing this scenery is worth it.

The rock formations at Obayashi Ishiyama are unique and not easily found elsewhere, and from the observation deck, we could also see Cape Hedo, which was breathtaking.

And above all, the taste of the sashimi at the port for lunch exceeded my expectations—it was incredibly delicious!

However, the tour guide spoke too quickly, making it hard to hear, and there was little explanation about the flow after getting off the bus or about the restrooms. It was disappointing that I had to ask again after getting off to understand. I would have appreciated some advice about walking a bit ahead. Also, when we went to the store, the conversation was mostly with the staff, which was awkward. I hope they can prioritize customer interaction a bit more and be more accommodating.

The scenery was fantastic, and the Okinawa rail was super cute, but if the tour guide had been more attentive, it would have made for an even better trip.

天気予報は完全に梅雨空で　あまり期待しないで参加しましたが　辺戸岬近づくと急に晴天になり　岬の2つの展望台が景色最高でした
この景色見るだけでも価値があります

大林石山も他ではあまり見ることができない奇岩怪石と展望台からも辺戸岬がみられ絶景でした

それと何と言っても　昼食の港食事の刺身の味が期待以上でした　めちゃ美味かった！

ただ添乗員の説明が早口で聞こえづらく　バスを降りてからの動線や　トイレの説明少なく　降りてからもう一度聞かなければわからないのが残念でした　　少し先頭で歩くとかアドバイスが欲しかったです　　お店にいくと店スタッフとばかりの会話も見苦しかったです　もう少し客の対応を優先すること考えてもっと寄り添ってください

景色が最高で　ヤンバルクイナもめちゃ可愛かったですが　添乗員の気配りがもっとあればより最高の旅になりましたよね

We rode on a double-decker bus for the first time during our trip with five family members ranging from their 20s to 80s. I was worried about whether the elderly could climb the bus stairs, but there were handrails, and it was fine.

The seats were narrow, but the weather was clear, and the pleasant breeze in May made the view of Osaka from above absolutely fantastic. The scenery in Dotonbori was different from what we saw while walking, and I thought it was worth more than the price with the enjoyable guided tour.

If I have the chance, I would like to ride it again.

初めての二階建てバス、20代から80代までの家族5人で旅行中に乗りました。年寄りがバスの階段を上れるか心配でしたが手すりもあり大丈夫でした。
シートは狭いですが、晴天で5月の心地よい風が吹き、高いところから見る大阪の景色は最高でした。道頓堀は歩いて見た時とまた違った景色が広がり、楽しいガイド付きでお値段以上だったと思います。
機会があればまた乗りたいと思います。

As a person who doesn't drive, I was very grateful for this bus tour since I couldn't use a rental car.

I participated in the morning tour, and I was able to fully enjoy Yakushima's nature, from the mountains to the sea.

We visited numerous spots, and I felt that the free time for exploration at each location was more than sufficient.

ペーパードライバーの自分にはレンタカーが使えなかったので、このようなバスツアーはとてもありがたかったです。

私は午前中のみのツアーでしたが、山から海まで十分に屋久島の自然を味わえました。

数多くのスポットを巡りましたが、それぞれのスポットでの自由散策の時間も必要十分だったと感じました。

I was very glad to have such great weather.

Before signing up, I wondered how it would be with fewer Japanese participants, but it actually made me feel like I was overseas. I was impressed that the tour guide could speak three languages! The course was excellent, and it turned out to be a very fulfilling trip. Since the distance was long, I hesitated about renting a car, but I’m glad I decided to go for it.

とても天候に恵まれてよかったです。

申し込む前は日本人の割合の方が少ないってどうなの？って思っていましたが、逆に海外に行ってる気分になれたような。
添乗員さんが3カ国語も話せるなんてすごい！！って感心しました。コースも申し分なくとても充実した旅行になりました。
距離が長いのでレンタカーと迷いましたが思い切って申し込んでよかったです。

It had been 40 years since I last visited Kyoto, and I was filled with both excitement and anxiety. The affordability was definitely appealing, and while I had prepared myself to some extent after seeing other people's posts, I was surprised to find that over 90% of the visitors were from various countries, which was enjoyable in its own way. I was impressed by the tour guide who provided explanations and guidance in multiple languages! I truly appreciated all the help with admission tickets, lunch, and more.

京都の観光は40年ぶりで期待と不安で一杯でした。
なんと言っても安さが魅力的でしたが、他の方の投稿を見ていましたのである程度は覚悟はしていましたが、本当に9割以上の方が多国籍の方でしたがそれはそれで楽しかったです。
添乗員さんが、多言語で説明と案内をしてる事に感心しました!
入場券、昼食など…本当に色々とお世話になり助かりました。

I was able to see a lot efficiently in one day! I think it was really great to visit all the places I wanted to see.

Our guide, Mr. Okina, was very thorough and explained everything clearly, which made me very satisfied (*^^*). Driver Mr. Matsushita, thank you for your hard work driving all day.

It was a wonderful trip, thank you! ✨

１日でたくさん効率的に見れて良かった！
見たかったところをいっぱいまわれて本当にいい内容だと思います

ガイドの翁さんも丁寧でわかりやすく説明していただき、大満足(*^^*)
ドライバーのマツシタさんも１日運転お疲れさまでした

素敵な旅行になりました、ありがとうございます✨

When I rode the water buffalo cart in Yufu, I was able to spend a very relaxed and peaceful time swaying gently in the slowly moving cart. I was impressed by how the water buffalo skillfully turned without colliding on the narrow paths of Taketomi Island.

由布・竹富島での水牛車に乗った際は、ゆっくりと進んでいく水牛車に揺られながらとてもゆったりとした穏やかな時間を過ごすことができました。
竹富島では細い道もぶつかることなく上手に曲がる水牛はすごいと感動しました。

I participated alone. I spent a wonderful time with the person next to me. Although I couldn't see Cape Erimo due to the fog, the rest of the scenery was fantastic. I would love to join again if there's another opportunity.

一人で参加さていただきました。
お隣の方とご一緒させていただきとても素敵な時間を過ごさせていただきました。
地球岬だけ霧でみえませんでしたがあとは最高の景色です。
また機会があれば参加したいです。

I participated in a day trip bus tour from Kanazawa Station to Gokayama and Shirakawa-go. There were also foreign participants on the tour.

First, I was surprised by the guide's fluent English. It was great how they skillfully used both Japanese and English, providing clear explanations. They also recommended great souvenirs and food, which was enjoyable.

Additionally, the driver was very pleasant and engaged with the guests. I have visited Kanazawa several times, but it was nice to be able to explore a bit further. I would like to join another tour to different places if available.

Thank you very much.

金沢駅から五箇山、白川郷への日帰りバスツアーに参加しました。外国の方も一緒のツアーでした。
まず驚いたのは、ガイドさんの流暢な英語。日本語と英語を巧みに使い、わかりやすい説明で良かったです。
おすすめのお土産や食べ物も教えてくださり、楽しかったです。
また、運転手さんもとても感じの良い方で、お客さんに声をかけてくれました。
何回か金沢に訪れていますが、少し遠くを観光できるのは良かったです。
別の場所もツアーがあれば行きたいです。
ありがとうございました。

On the day of the visit, the weather was favorable, and although the peak bloom of the moss phlox had slightly passed, the magnificent scenery that colored the entire area made me take a lot of photos.

当日は天気にも恵まれて、芝桜のピークは少し超えていましたが辺り一面を彩る壮大な景色に、思わず写真をたくさん撮ってしまいました。

Even if you don't know much about your travel destination, they suggested places you can visit within the time limit, making it a wonderful trip! I think it's more efficient than renting a car!

旅行先の事がわからなくても時間内で行けるところを提案してくれてとても良い旅行になりました！！
レンタカー借りるより効率良いと思います！

I thought it might be hectic, but it was nothing like that at all; I was able to fully enjoy the island for the first time. The food was delicious too!

バタバタかなぁと思いましたが全くそんなことは無く、初めての島を満喫できました^ ^
ご飯も美味しくてよかったです！
