All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

I participated in a tour that takes you to the classic sightseeing spots in Kyoto in one day. We efficiently visited Fushimi Inari Taisha, Kiyomizu-dera, Kinkaku-ji, and Arashiyama using buses and trains! The plan included a kaiseki lunch and admission fees, so I was able to enjoy the city of Kyoto without any hassle. It's an excellent value for money and highly recommended!

紅葉 京都の定番観光地を1日で巡るツアーに参加しました。伏見稲荷大社→清水寺→金閣寺→嵐山と, バスと電車を利用して効率良く観光する事が出来ました！懐石の昼食と拝観料付きプランだったので,手間なく京都の町を楽しむ事が出来ました。コスパ抜群でオススメです！

I experienced a view I've never seen before. The nights in November are getting chilly, but it's manageable with a little extra clothing. The air is clear, and I encountered a wonderful scenery. I would like to see a different view in another season.

初めて見る景色、体感を味わいました。
11月の夜は冷えてきていますが、ちょっと着込めば大丈夫。空気は澄んで素敵な景色に出会えました。また別な季節に違う景色を見てみたいです。

Unfortunately, it rained heavily all day. To be honest, I was worried, thinking, "Can we really climb in this rain...?" I didn't get to see the beautiful scenery with light shining through the trees that I had initially hoped for.

However, the engaging conversation kept things interesting even in the rain. There were mystical views that could only be enjoyed because of the rain. By the end, I was actually enjoying the rain while going through the tour.

If I visit Yakushima again, I would definitely sign up for the same tour. It was such a wonderful day.

あいにく一日中大雨。
正直「この雨で登れるの・・・？」と不安になるレベル。
当初期待してた木々の間から光が指す美しい風景は一切見れませんでした。

ただし、雨の中でも飽きさせないトーク。
雨だからこそ楽しめる神秘的な景色。
途中からはむしろ雨を楽しみながらツアーを回れました。

また屋久島に訪れたとしても、同じツアーを申し込むと思います。
それくらい素晴らしい一日を過ごせました。

This was my first time boarding. It swayed more than I expected, but the private room was comfortable without worrying about others.

However, there was one issue... At the Hakata Port ticket counter on the way, I showed my voucher and received a ticket, but it was only for one way... Upon checking, I was told that although I had made a round-trip reservation and payment, the return trip was not secured. Huh? What does that mean? Since it was nighttime at the Hakata counter, I couldn't get assistance and was told to confirm at the reservation counter during business hours the next day. Feeling anxious, I boarded the ship. When I called the next day to confirm, they said it was a confirmation error... Fortunately, since there was a private room available, I was able to board the return trip without any issues, but I wonder what would have happened if it had been fully booked. If there were no problems with the reservation system, I would have wanted to rate it as 'excellent!'

初めて乗船しました。
思ってたより揺れましたが、個室は周りを気にせず快適です。

ただ一点…
行きの博多港の窓口でバウチャーを見せてチケットを貰ったのですが、片道分しかなく…
確認すると往復予約で決済はされているものの帰りの便が確保されてないとのこと。
ん？どういうこと⁇
博多の窓口は夜間だったため対応してもらえず、翌日の営業時間内に予約窓口で確認してくれとのことで不安ながらも乗船しました。
翌日電話で確認したところ確認ミスだったと…
個室が空いていたため無事復路も乗船することができましたが、満席だったらどうなってたんでしょうね。
予約システムさえ問題なければ評価も『最高でした！』を付けたいところでした。

I participated with a friend. The guide was amazing. They provided the tour in both Japanese and English, which was truly wonderful. Thanks to the guide's knowledge and the atmosphere they created, the tour became a memorable experience. Thank you very much!

友人と2人での参加。ガイドさんが、最高でした。日本語と、英語で、ガイドをされていて、本当に素晴らしかったです。ガイドさんの知識と、醸し出される雰囲気で、ツアーが、思い出深いものになり、本当にありがとうございました。

The Jomon Sugi tour, including the guide, was really great! I felt lucky considering the weather when I saw people coming down the mountain. The footing was poor, and honestly, it was a tough climb, but seeing Jomon Sugi made it all worthwhile. It became a lifelong memory. For those who will participate in the future, I recommend minimizing your luggage as much as possible. I thought it would be cold, so I overdressed and ended up suffering from the heat. Lastly, thank you so much to the instructor!

縄文杉ツアーはガイド含めて大変、良かったです!
途中下山の人を見て天候を含めラッキーだったと思います
足場も悪く正直、キツイ登山でしたが縄文杉を見られて大変、良かったです
一生の思い出になりました
これから参加される方は、なるべく荷物を少なくされることをオススメします
自分は寒いと思い厚着をし過ぎて暑さにヤラれました
最後にインストラクターさん、本当にありがとうございました

The tour that efficiently covers the mangrove forest cruise in Iriomote, the ox cart ride to Yubu Island, and the charming star sand beach and ox carts in Taketomi Island was absolutely satisfying. I really felt it was worth going, especially since the weather was just right. I highly recommend it for anyone visiting the Nansei Islands for the first time.

西表でのマングローブの林のクルーズ、牛車で行く由布島、星砂の浜と牛車が魅力的な竹富島を効率的に周れるツアーは大大満足。
ギリギリ天候にも恵まれてほんっとに行って良かったなと思います。初めて南西諸島に行く人には絶対お薦めです。

We were blessed with good weather and were able to land safely. It seems that during typhoon season, there are often more instances where landing is not possible, so it might be best to avoid times when the weather is prone to deterioration. The guide's explanations were also great.

天気に恵まれ、無事に上陸することができました。やはり台風の時期は上陸できないことの方が多いようなので、天気が崩れやすい時期は避けた方がよさそうです。ガイドさんの解説もよかったです。

The weather was favorable, with the blue of the clear sky and the white of the snowy mountains, and the gassho-zukuri houses below were truly wonderful. The explanations were also thorough and good. However, I thought it was questionable that even though eating was discouraged on the bus, they did not pay attention when someone was having breakfast.

天気にも恵まれ、青天の青と雪山の白、その下の合掌造りはとても素晴らしかったです。
説明も丁寧で良かったです。
ただ、バス内でものを食べるのはご遠慮となっていましたが、朝食を食べていても注意をしないのはどうかと思いました。

I took a double-decker, open-top bus from Tokyo Station, passing through the Imperial Palace, Tokyo Tower, and Rainbow Bridge.
Check-in was smooth.
Since the seats are assigned, there's no need to compete for a spot.
When there are fewer customers, you can sit more freely, further avoiding close contact.
I usually live and work in the metropolitan area, but riding the bus slowly and taking in the scenery was refreshing and different.
I actually wanted to ride during the time when I could see the night view, but I enjoyed it enough during the day.
Just keep in mind that since it's open, it's good to have warm clothing and glasses.

東京駅から皇居を通り東京タワー、レインボーブリッジを通る2階建て屋根なしバスに乗りました。
チェックインはスムース。
席も決まっている為、席取り合戦にならなくても済みます。
お客様が少ないと自由咳になるので、3密を更にさけて座ることもできます。
普段首都圏に住み働いてますが、ゆっくりバスに乗って案内されて見る景色はまた違って新鮮でした。
本当は夜景の見れる時間に乗りたかったですが日中でも十分楽しめました。
ただオープンなのでかなりの防寒対策メガネなどがあると良いです

We participated as a family. Autumn in Kyoto was very beautiful with clear air. It was great that we could visit various places in one day. The guide was kind and helpful. They were also friendly to foreign visitors. It was a very enjoyable day.

家族で参加しました。秋の京都は、空気が澄んでいてとても綺麗でした。一日で、色々回れるので良かったです。ガイドさんも親切で良かったです。外国の方にも親切にガイドされていました。とても楽しい一日でした。

I believe the tour can be either excellent or terrible depending on the guide. The guide who was in charge provided only the bare minimum of explanations. At the rest area, they mostly talked about a common game with one of the participants. On the way down, the guide was at the back.

Additionally, there was a lack of consideration for those who were slower, and the guide spoke in a way that felt accusatory, making those who were lagging behind desperate to keep up. The atmosphere was clearly different from the surrounding teams.

Based on past experiences I've read, it seems others have had similar experiences. I hope improvements are made so that future participants do not have an unpleasant experience, and I wanted to share this comment.

ガイドさん次第で、最高にも最低にもなるツアーだと思います。
担当してくれたガイドさんは必要最低限の説明のみでした。休憩所では参加者お一方との共通したゲームの話ばかり。下山時はガイドさんが最後尾です。
また、ペースが遅い方への配慮が無く、責め立てるような物言いで、遅めの方々は遅れずに歩くことに必死でした。明らかに周りのチームと雰囲気が違います。
過去の体験談を見ても、同様の経験をされている方がいるようです。今後の参加者が不快な思いをされないよう改善を願い、コメントさせていただきます。

The tour guide was very kind and I felt that they were very considerate. Thank you to the driver for their calm and safe driving!

添乗員がとっても優しく、色々お気配りいただきましたと感じます。運転手さんも平穏かつ安全の運転してくださってありがとうございました♪

Our guide, S, was very kind, and we were able to enjoy the experience even with our small children. He always answered the children's simple questions, making it a wonderful experience. I would definitely like to request the same guide next time.

ガイドのSさんが、とても親切で小さな子供連れの私達でも楽しむことができました。
子供たちの素朴な疑問にも常に答えてくれ、とてもいい経験となりました。
次回もぜひ 同じガイドさんにお願いしたいと思いました。

It was disappointing that we couldn't go to the Blue Cave due to the rough waves, but we went snorkeling in a different location and were thrilled to see such beautiful fish. The guide was friendly and made the experience enjoyable. The mangrove kayaking was also relaxing, with the gentle flow of the river and the scenery being very soothing.

波が荒れていて青の洞窟に行けなくて残念でしたが、違う場所でシュノーケリングをしましたが、とても綺麗な魚達が見れて感激しました。
ガイドのお姉さんも気さくな方で楽しめました。
マングローブのカヤックも穏やかな川の流れと景色に癒やされました。

This time, I booked a private taxi tour for the first time with three foreigners I brought from Canada. I chose a six-hour course, but it was just enough time to visit four to five famous spots in Kyoto. If I were to make a reservation next time, I feel that around eight hours would be recommended, considering the lunch time as well.

As for the driver, he had studied English well and provided thoughtful explanations at key tourist spots, as well as engaging small talk during the drive, which was considerate for the foreigners. The three foreigners were satisfied after the tour.

I also appreciate how he helped with taking photos at various scenic spots. This was my first time booking with Yasaka, and I could feel the high level of training among the staff. The six-hour duration allowed us to enjoy the tour comfortably and safely, which was the best part. I would definitely like to request this again next time.

今回は、カナダから連れてきた外国人３名と共に、初めての貸切タクシーツアーを申し込みました。
６時間というコースを選択したのですが、京都の名所を４－５ヶ所周るには、ギリギリ時間でした。次回予約するのであれば、昼食時間もありますので、８時間ぐらいがお勧めかと感じました。
運転手さんですが、しっかり英語を勉強されており、要所要所の観光名所での気の利いた説明及び移動中の雑談も、外国人が受け入れる話し方に気を使われ、しっかり対応頂き、ツアー後の外国人３名も満足しておりました。
また名所の周る度に、写真スポットでの撮影手伝いもサラって対応いただき感謝しております。今回初めてヤサカに申し込みを致しましたが、
社員の方への教育の高さも感じられ、６時間という時間が、楽しく・安心してツアーができたことが何より良かった点であります。
次回もぜひお願いしたいです。

Four years ago, I participated with my husband, and at that time, there were illuminations at Nakanoshima Park and projection mapping at the Central Public Hall. The view from the highway was amazing, and I wanted to show my elderly father the beautiful illuminated scenery, so I made a reservation.

Unfortunately, I couldn't get a reservation for that timing this time, which left me feeling a bit unsatisfied. However, unlike last time, the weather was mild, so I could hear the guide's explanations clearly without being drowned out by the wind, and my father was very happy to see the beautiful illuminations that were different from usual.

I wonder if I'm the only one who feels it's unfair that the price is the same during periods with and without projection mapping at the Central Public Hall? Perhaps it's because I've experienced it multiple times at different times that I can notice the differences, but I couldn't help but think about that.

4年前に夫と参加したのですが、その時は中之島公園のイルミネーションや中央公会堂のプロジェクションマッピングをやっていた時だったので、高速道路から見下ろす景色も最高で、高齢の父にもキレイなイルミネーションの景色を見せてあげたいと申込みました。
残念ながら今回はそのタイミングでの予約が取れず、私的には少し物足りなかったのですが、前回と違って穏やかな気候だったので風の音にかき消されることなくガイドさんのお話もよく聞こえましたし、普段とは違ったイルミネーションの綺麗な景色を観ることができて父はすごく喜んでいました。

中央公会堂のプロジェクションマッピングなどをやっている時期とそうでない時期が同じ料金なのを不公平に感じるのは私だけでしょうか？
違うタイミングで複数回乗ったからこそ違いがわかるのかもしれないのですが、そんなことを思ってしまいました。

Since you often have the opportunity to ride on boats and there can be swaying due to rain, it's better to have motion sickness medication even if you usually don't get sick! One person felt nauseous and had to drop out, but the staff informed them that they couldn't return immediately.

The weather forecast for Okinawa is unreliable. It's better to have rain gear. There were also people lining up to buy raincoats that looked like they were worth less than 100 yen inside the boat.

船に乗る機会が多いし、雨で揺れることもあるので普段酔わなくても酔い止めあった方が良いです！
1人気持ち悪いと脱落しましたが、すぐには帰れないことをスタッフから言われてました。

沖縄の天気予報あてになりません。
雨具あった方が良いです。
船の中で、見た目が100均以下のカッパ買うために並んでる人もいました。

The captain's thoughtfulness, enjoyable stories, informative talks, beautiful night views, and the impressive flames of the power plant made for a quick 90 minutes. My 10-year-old child also had a great time. We were able to experience an extraordinary atmosphere, and it was a wonderful experience. Thank you very much.

船長さんの、お気遣いと楽しいお話、ためになるお話、美しい夜景、迫力ある発電所の炎、あっという間の90分でした。10歳の子どもも楽しんでいました。非日常の雰囲気を味わえ、良い体験ができました。ありがとうございました。

I don't know which country it is, but I received about ten phone calls from the back, and each time it turned into a long conversation. I was fed up. I wish they would include etiquette in the contract at the time of application if possible.

After gathering, we took the train to Fushimi Inari Taisha. After the visit, we walked to the bus parking lot. We had lunch right after arriving at Kiyomizu-dera (before noon) ⇒ Kinkaku-ji ⇒ Arashiyama. Those returning to Osaka took the bus again after the visit. People going to Kyoto Station received tickets and could do as they pleased afterward. The guide said they would take us to photo spots. Even though I received a ticket, I accidentally used my Suica! Ahhh!

どこの国か分かりませんが、後ろの方に10回くらい電話がかかってきて、その度に長話。うんざりしました。出来たら申し込みの時点で、マナーも契約の中に盛り込んでくれたらいいな、と思いました。
集合後、稲荷大社までは電車。見学後にバス駐車場まで徒歩。清水寺に着いてすぐに昼食(12時前)⇒金閣寺⇒嵐山。大阪まで帰る人は見学後にまたバスに乗車。京都駅の人はチケットもらって後は好きにして良し。ガイドさんは映えスポットまで案内してくださるとのこと。チケットいただいたのにSuicaをうっかり使用してしまった！あーー

I was a bit concerned about my physical stamina since I was with my elderly parents, but we used boats, water buffalo carts, and buses, so there were no particular issues. We were able to ride the water buffalo cart twice; the first time we were at the back, and the second time at the front, which was quite enjoyable. Personally, I would have liked a bit more time to explore Yubu Island rather than just the mangrove tour. Overall, I was satisfied with the efficient visit to the three islands. Thank you very much.

高齢の両親と一緒だったので体力的に不安がありましたが、船や水牛車、バスを利用したので特に問題ありませんでした。水牛車も2回乗れて、1回目は最後尾、2回目は最前列と充分楽しめました。
個人的にはマングローブ遊覧より、由布島の散策にもう少し時間が欲しかったです。
効率的に3島巡れて概ね満足です。ありがとうございました。

This was not just a simple Gunkanjima tour; it was a highly valuable experience where I learned about Nagasaki's history and important figures related to the Meiji-era industrial revolution and modernization in Japan. The stories shared by our guide, Hamaguchi, who specializes in research on Glover, were very interesting. He was knowledgeable not only about Gunkanjima but also about Glover's contributions to Japan and Nagasaki's World Heritage sites, and I was truly impressed by his expertise. I am grateful for the valuable insights he provided. The tour of Gunkanjima was fantastic, and the presentation on the boat was memorable, keeping my interest piqued throughout. He guided us through many aspects of Nagasaki. We were also able to disembark, making for a truly fulfilling half-day experience. Thank you so much, Hamaguchi, for providing a time that was worth more than the tour fee!

ただ単なる軍艦島ツアーではなく、明治日本の産業革命遺産や近代化に関する長崎の歴史や重要人物についても学べる非常に価値ある内容でした。グラバーに関する研究をされていらっしゃるという浜口ガイドのお話がとても面白く、軍艦島はもちろん、グラバーが日本にもたらした功績や長崎の世界遺産など幅広い分野にお詳しく、その学識に圧倒されました。貴重なお話をしていただき感謝です。軍艦島の見学はもちろんですが、船内でのプレゼンが印象深く、最後まで興味をそそられる内容で、長崎の多くをガイドしてくださいました。上陸もでき、本当に充実した半日を過ごすことができました。ツアー料金以上の価値ある時間を提供してくださった浜口ガイド、本当にありがとうございました！

The explanation was detailed, and I was able to land safely. I'm very satisfied! The digital museum is also recommended, so please be sure to visit! The ice cream sold on board was delicious as well.

説明も詳しくしていただき
無事上陸できました
大満足です！
デジタルミュージアムもおススメなので
是非訪れてみてください！
船内で販売されるアイスクリームも美味しかったです

When I got on the bus, I was given a printed QR code at the reception. I have to show it when getting on and off, but I need to be careful not to let it get crumpled. Traveling hands-free is not recommended, haha. At places like Kinkaku-ji and Kiyomizu-dera, there are a lot of people, so it's better to arrive at the bus stop a little early.

バスを乗る時受付してプリントアウトされたQRコードを渡されました。
乗り降りするときそれを見せるのですが、ぐちゃぐちゃにならないように気をつけ付けないといけません。
手ぶらの旅はオススメ出来ませんね笑
金閣寺、清水寺辺りでの乗り降りはとにかくたくさん人がいるのでちょっと早めにバス停いた方が良いです。

Mr. Muroi was in charge. With smooth and polite guidance and enjoyable conversation, it was a challenging but very memorable experience. Thank you very much!

室井さんにご担当いただきました。
スムーズかつ丁寧なご案内と楽しいトークで、大変でしたがとても思い出に残る経験をすることができました。
本当にありがとうございました！

It was a wonderful time, after all. Despite the last-minute reservation the night before, they accommodated us. Since it was our honeymoon, we wanted to do poses related to marriage, but I wasn't sure what to do. When I spoke to the staff, they taught us some poses, and we ended up with really great photos. Thank you for the wonderful memories. I would like to request your services again when I visit Miyako Island.

とにかく素敵な時間でした。
前日夜の予約にも関わらず、引き受けてくれました。
新婚旅行だから結婚にまつわるポーズをやりたかったのですが、イメージもわからず、スタッフさんに話したらポージングも教えてくれて、本当に良い写真が撮れました。
素敵な思い出ありがとうございました。また宮古島に行ったらお願いしたいと思います。

The level of the Jumbo Tours guide is too low. Do they think it's okay just because they're dealing with foreigners? I will never use them again!

ジャンボツアーズの添乗員レベルが低すぎる。外国人相手だからそんなんで良いと思うんですかね？
二度と利用しません！

With a touch of humor, you pulled me along and pushed my weary back, allowing me to finally see Jomon Sugi. I am filled with joy and emotion as my long-held dream has come true. In fact, since we are the same age, I felt renewed motivation to do my best as well. Thank you once again. I want to brag about this experience to my friends.

冗談を交えながら、引っ張ってくれて
挫けそうな背中を押してくれて、なんとか縄文杉を見ることが出来ました。
長年の夢が叶った喜びと感動で一杯です。
実は、小生と同じ年　私も頑張らねばと思いを新たにした次第
重ね重ねありがとうございました。
この経験を友人達に自慢したいと思っています。

As someone who is not good at flying, I have loved the power of an airplane taking off and its ascent towards dreams since I was a child. Today, I finally had the chance to participate in an ANA tour, and I learned about the history of airplanes and how many expert teams work hard every day to keep them flying.

The attendant in charge of the tour was wonderful, and everything felt like a dream. I now have the desire to try flying on an airplane. Thank you to everyone at ANA for your hard work every day. Please continue to do your best.

飛行機に乗るのは苦手な私は飛行機が離陸する推進力、夢に向かって飛び立つ姿が子供の頃から大好きでした。
本日、やっとANAのツアーに参加出来て飛行機の歴史や、どれだけ飛行機を飛ばすのに多数のエキスパートチームの方々が日々、努力をしているか伝わって来ました。

ツアー担当のアテンダントの方も素敵で何もかも夢の様な時間でした。
飛行機✈乗ってみたい〜気持ちになりました。
ANAの皆様、毎日、ご苦労様です。
これからも頑張って下さい。

The guide was kind, and the Churaumi Aquarium, Kouri Island, and the Christmas illumination at American Village were all fantastic.

ガイドさんも親切で、美ら海水族館、古宇利島、クリスマスイルミネーションのアメリカンビレッジ
どこも、最高でした
