All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

The shuttle bus had strict infection control measures, including mask-wearing, and we were blessed with great weather. It was truly the best Jomon Sugi tour! The guide provided thorough explanations, which were very educational, and it made me want to learn more about Yakushima's nature.

送迎バスの中でマスクの着用など感染症対策をしっかりやってくださって天気にも恵まれて本当に最高の縄文杉ツアーでした！
ガイドさんが丁寧に説明してくださって大変勉強になったし、もっと屋久島の自然を知りたいと思えました。

I was able to efficiently visit the highlights of Yakushima. The sightseeing bus had hand sanitizer at the entrance, and the windows could be opened for ventilation. Perhaps because the windows were open, a giant fly got in, but the guide killed it with a towel.

For those who want to see Yakusugi but feel that walking to Jomon Sugi is a bit much, you can easily visit Yakusugi Land to see the ancient cedar trees. They took 50 minutes to walk the 30-minute course, making it a tour that is friendly for small children and the elderly. Of course, you don't need hiking boots, but a friend who participated in sandals got bitten by a tick. I recommend sneakers.

Overall, it was a very good tour!

屋久島の見所を効率的にまわれました。観光バスには入り口に消毒薬があり、かつ、窓を開けて換気ができました。窓を開けてたからか、巨大アブがはいりましたが、ガイドさんがタオルで殴って殺してくれました。
屋久杉はみたいけど、縄文杉まであるくのはちょっとという方には、気軽に屋久杉を見れるやくすぎランドにもたちよれます。30分コースを50分かけてあるいてくれて、小さい子や老人にも優しいツアーです。登山靴などもちろん不要、ですが、サンダルもどきで参加した友人はヒルにかまれていました。スニーカーをお勧めします。
全体的にとてもよいツアーでした！

The guide was amazing! I had a great day at an unbeatable price! The lunch was substantial, and I was very satisfied. I was able to take advantage of a great deal and signed up just a day in advance, and I'm really glad I did!

ガイドが凄く良かった!　破格価格で一日楽しめました!　しっかりしたランチ付でとても満足できた。良いところ取りで、急遽一日前に申し込んだがほんとに良かった!

What a disappointment! I thought it was lucky to have one guide for two tour guests at first, but I got tired trying to keep up and gave up halfway! Despite having paid for the tour, I couldn't make it to Jomon Sugi.

残念な!
ガイド一人に二人のツアー客、はじめラッキーと思ったが、ついて行くのに疲れ、途中で断念!　せっかくお金を払ってツアーに参加したのがあだとなって縄文杉に辿り着かなかった

Unfortunately, we couldn't land due to bad weather, but I still recommend this experience. On the way to Gunkanjima, there were explanations about the islands and buildings, which highlighted many things we wouldn't have noticed on our own. However, a downside is that you have to check in at a different location before departure, and you need to gather quite early. It would be better if we could meet directly at the dock after seeing Gunkanjima.

残念ながら天候不良で上陸ならずでしたが、内容としてはおすすめです。
軍艦島に向かうまでに、島や建造物の解説があり、自力では気づけない事もたくさんあるのも良かったです。
出向前に別の場所で受付をしないといけないですが、かなり前に集合しないといけないのがマイナスポイント。軍艦島を見た後にも立ち寄れるのであれば、最初から船着場のところに集合として欲しいです。

On the day I arrived in Ishigaki Island, I participated in the water buffalo cart course. The water buffalo cart ride was leisurely and enjoyable. Since I had time until the return boat, I rode a bicycle to the beach. It was hot, but the beach was very beautiful, and I was able to have the best time.

石垣島到着日に、水牛車コースで参加しました。水牛車はのんびりと楽しかったです。帰りの船まで時間があったので、自転車でビーチへ。暑かったけど、とてもキレイで最高の時間を過ごすことができました。

It was my first time on Iriomote Island, and I had a great time experiencing the nature of mangrove SUP, waterfalls, and limestone caves! I was a bit anxious about trying SUP for the first time, but with the guidance I received, I was able to enjoy it by the end. Since this was a day trip, I hope to see the starry sky next time!

初めての西表島でしたが、マングローブSUP、滝、鍾乳洞の自然を感じられてとても楽しかったです！初体験のSUPで少し不安でしたが、教えていただき最後には楽しく乗ることができました^^今回は日帰りだったので次回は星空もみたいと思います！

I am very grateful to the guide for their help. Thank you for your attentive service. I appreciate the valuable experiences of canoeing and exploring the limestone caves.

ガイドさんには大変お世話になりました。
丁寧に対応して頂き感謝です。
カヌー体験や鍾乳洞への探検と貴重な体験をさせていただき感謝です

I felt that the rainy days had more charm. The tour guide was very polite. I think it's a good idea to ask about delicious restaurants. Overall, it was a great tour.

雨の日のほうが風情がある気がしました
ツアーガイドの方はとても丁寧。
美味しいお店は聞いた方がいいかと。
総じていいツアーでした。

For our first trip to Ishigaki Island, we decided to try the Barasu and canoe waterfall adventure after much deliberation! Thanks to our friendly and very kind guide who explained and showed us so much, it truly became a wonderful memory! It's common for any tour company to have beautiful seas, but if you're unsure about which tour to choose, you can't go wrong here!

初の石垣島からの離島プラン、色々悩んでバラスとカヌー滝遊びに挑戦！
ガイドさんが気さく、とても親切で色々説明、案内してくれたおかげで本当に良い思い出になりました！
どこのツアー会社でも海が綺麗なのは当たり前、ツアー選びで迷ったらここで間違いなし！

Commonly known as the "Greedy Course!!"
It was quite tough, but the guide explained everything thoroughly,
and I was able to participate while having fun!
Since it's a challenging course, I recommend it for those who want a hard experience!

通称よくばりコース！！
かなりキツかったですが、
ガイドさんが丁寧に説明してくださり、
楽しみながら参加できました！
ハードなコースなので、ハードに行きたい方はオススメです！

The driver was polite and made me feel at ease. They kindly helped with the order in the dining area. The all-you-can-eat melon exceeded my expectations. It was delicious!

運転手さんも丁寧で安心できました。食堂でオーダーも手伝ってくださり、親切でした。
メロンの食べ放題は期待以上でした。美味しかったです！

I visited Northern Okinawa for sightseeing. Due to the impact of COVID-19, there were only three of us, but I am grateful for the guide's hard work. Please keep it up!

沖縄北部観光でした〜〜コロナの影響で3人と大変少ない人数でしたが、ガイドさんは一生懸命やって頂き感謝しています。これからも頑張ってくださいね。

It seems that the impact of COVID-19 is still lingering, as there were few people at each temple, allowing for a leisurely visit. I visited five temples and walked over 10,000 steps, and there were times when I had to take off my shoes to enter the tatami rooms, so I recommend wearing comfortable and easy-to-remove shoes.

The guide's explanations were thorough and easy to understand, and there were many things I would have missed if I had gone on my own. The driver was also kind, and thanks to both of them, it was an enjoyable tour. Thank you very much.

コロナの影響がまだ残っているのか、
どのお寺も人が少なくゆっくり見学出来ました
五ヶ所のお寺を周り、1万歩以上歩くのと、座敷に上がる事もあり
歩きやすく脱ぎ履きしやすい靴をお勧めします

ガイドさんの説明が丁寧で分かりやすく、
個人で行ってたら気づかなかった事もたくさんありました
運転手さんも親切で
お二人のお陰で楽しいツアーでした
ありがとうございました

It wasn't as immersive in nature as I expected from a night safari, but (well, the whole of Ishigaki is quite natural) I enjoyed the introduction of palm crabs, spiders, hermit crabs, and distinctive plants. The Ryukyu scops owl on the power lines was also a highlight.

As we were watching, the sky cleared up more and more, and the starry sky was incredibly clear, which was moving. The guides' love for Ishigaki and nature shone through, and even when things didn't go as planned, they surely found a way to keep the atmosphere lively.

ナイトサファリというほど大自然の中に突っ込むわけではなかったのが少し肩透かしだったけど、(まあ、石垣全体が自然多めなんだけど) ヤシガニ、クモ、オカヤドカリや特徴的な植物紹介も有り楽しめた。電線のリュウキュウコノハズクも。
鑑賞している間にどんどん晴れて来て星空がめちゃクリアだったのが感動的だった。ガイドさん達は石垣愛、自然愛がにじみ出ており、不発に終わった時も何とか盛り上げてくれるに違いない。

It was a tour for snorkeling at Barasu Island and mangrove SUP! They took a lot of photos and sent them to me right away, which was great♪ They also recommended some restaurants and spots, making for a very fulfilling day◡̈ I would love to join again when I come back to Iriomote Island⭐︎

バラス島シュノーケル、マングローブSUPのツアーでした！写真もたくさん撮ってすぐに送ってくれて、とても良かったです♪ オススメの飲食店やスポットも教えて頂き、とても充実した日を送ることができました◡̈　また西表島に来たら参加したいです⭐︎

Due to COVID-19, I traveled around Yakushima while being mindful of social distancing. Since it was a solo trip and time was limited, I was really happy to efficiently visit the sightseeing spots in just one day. The guide provided detailed explanations, and I fell in love with Yakushima's nature. Thank you very much. I would like to visit again to receive the power of the gods.

コロナでしたので、ソーシャルディスタンスに気をつけながら屋久島周遊をしました。
一人旅で時間も限られていたので1日効率良く観光地を回れて本当に楽しかったです。
ガイドさんも詳しく説明してくれたので、屋久島の自然が大好きになりました。
ありがとうございました。
また神々のパワーをもらいに訪れたいです。

This was the first activity after arriving in Ishigaki Island. I participated with my university friends. Initially, I was worried it might not be very exciting since we would just be riding cows, but once we got on, the guide played the sanshin and sang, and explained the island's attractions, making it a very enjoyable experience.

石垣島に来て最初のアクティヴィティでした。大学の友達と一緒に参加しました。当初は牛に乗るだけだからあまり盛り上がらないのかもと心配でしたが、乗ってみると添乗員さんが三線を引いて歌を歌ってくださったり、島の名所を説明してくださったり大変楽しい体験になりました。

I participated in August 2020. I usually engage in sports, but it was my first time hiking, and I was a bit worried about the 22-kilometer round trip. However, once I started, the trolley path was easy to walk and gentle, and the mountain trail to Jomon Sugi was manageable with breaks, so I didn't feel any difficulty at all.

令和2年8月に参加しました。
普段からスポーツをしておりますが、登山は初めてですし往復22キロの山道ということで少し心配でした。
参加してみると、トロッコ道は歩きやすくて緩やかですし、縄文杉までの山道も休憩を入れながらだったので、辛い感じは全くありませんでした。

On the first day, the guide for Jomon Sugi was different from the one for Shiratani Unsuikyo on the second day. The first day was more of a silent hiking type, and the pace was very fast, making it tough to keep up, but the guide was attentive to our physical condition at key points. On the second day, there was a lot of talking, and we stopped frequently, resulting in a difference in walking pace. The guides had completely opposite styles, so I think preferences will vary. I was more tired from Jomon Sugi than I had imagined.

１日目の縄文杉と2日目の白谷雲水峡とガイドさんが違いました。1日目は黙々と登山するタイプで歩く速さもすごく早く、着いて行くのに大変でしたが、要所要所で体調の気にかけてくれました。2日目は話が多くて途中止まり止まりで歩くペースに差がありました。タイプが正反対のガイドさんでどちらが好みかは分かれると思います。想像以上に縄文杉の方は疲れました。

The bus guide was a veteran, and both the explanations and singing were excellent, making it an enjoyable experience. Since there were only two families with small children, it was great that we could move at the same pace. I had no expectations for the monkey park, but once we went, we really enjoyed activities like feeding the animals. The soy sauce shop we stopped by along the way had great products, and I was able to make some good purchases. On the narrow road returning from the movie village, there was a moment when we had to pass an oncoming car, but the driver skillfully navigated the difficult road in reverse, and I thought the driver was very skilled. I highly recommend it.

バスガイドさんがベテランで説明もお歌も大変お上手で、楽しめました。小さな子供のいる二つの家族だけだったので、同じペースで行動出来て良かったです。おさるの国は全く期待していなかったのですが、行ってみたら餌やりなど、結構楽しめました。途中で立ち寄った醤油屋さんのお店も品物が良く、良い買い物ができました。映画村からの帰りの狭い道で、対向車とすれ違う場面があったのですが、難しい道をバックでうまく切り抜けてくれて、運転手さんもレベルが高いと思いました。お勧めします。

I was nervous about whether I could reach Jomon Sugi on my first trekking trip, which was a round trip of 10 hours, but the weather was not too hot and it hardly rained, so I was able to enjoy the walk until the end! Thanks to the guide's advice, I didn't suffer much from muscle pain the next day and was able to fully enjoy Yakushima! Thank you very much.

初めてのトレッキングが往復10時間の縄文杉ツアーで縄文杉まで辿り着けるかドキドキしていましたが、天候も暑すぎず雨も殆ど降らず最後まで楽しく歩くことができました！
ガイドさんのアドバイスのおかげで次の日もさほど筋肉痛に苦しむこともなく屋久島を堪能できました！ありがとうございました。

The souvenir shops along the way usually have many samples, but due to COVID-19, there are hardly any. The aquarium has also canceled all events. Well, on the bright side, you can enjoy watching the fish slowly without the crowds.

途中の土産物屋は試食が多い店だがコロナの影響でほとんど無し。
水族館もイベントはすべて中止。まぁ密にならず魚をゆっくり見ることが出来るのでその点は良い。

My first time on Iriomote Island was so healing with the abundant nature of mangrove SUP, waterfalls, and limestone caves!

The photos turned out beautifully, making for a wonderful keepsake!

Since this was a day trip, I thought it would be nice to stay overnight on Iriomote Island next time!

It became a very enjoyable memory☆ I would love to use this service again on my next opportunity!

初めての西表島、マングローブSUPや、滝、鍾乳洞の自然いっぱいで癒されました！　　
　
写真も、すごく綺麗に撮ってもらえてとてもいい記念になりました！！　

今回日帰りだったので次回は西表島で１泊したいなと思いました！　　

とても楽しい思い出になりました☆次の機会もまた利用したいと思います！

Due to the weather, we couldn't explore the cave or land on Barasu Island, but they prepared an alternative plan for us, and we were able to fully enjoy a day on Iriomote Island! Canoeing in the mangroves was also a wonderful experience, allowing us to feel close to nature. Thank you very much!

天候の影響で、鍾乳洞探検とバラス島上陸はできなかったのですが、別プランを用意してくださり、1日西表島を満喫できました！マングローブでのカヌーもすごく自然を感じ楽しかったです！ありがとうございました！

The tour staff were all very kind and wonderful people. During the activities, they took amazing photos that created great memories. Additionally, they provided transportation, so it was fine not to have a rental car. As a measure against COVID-19, both participants and staff wore masks during crowded travel, allowing us to enjoy ourselves with peace of mind. If I have the chance to come back to Iriomote Island, I would definitely like to use their services again.

ツアーのスタッフの方がとても優しくいい人ばかりでした。
アクティビティでは、体験中の写真をめちゃくちゃいい感じに撮ってくれていい思い出づくりになりました。
また、送迎もしてくれるのでレンタカーが無くても大丈夫でした。
新型コロナウィルス対策として密になる移動中は参加者もスタッフもマスクを着用しており、安心して楽しめました。
もし、次も西表島に来ることがあればぜひ利用したいです。

The starry sky was incredibly beautiful!!
It was disappointing not to see the coconut crabs, but it was fun to see bats and other things☺️
The guide was also cool and entertaining.
I'm glad I could experience something out of the ordinary!
It was helpful that they drove me back to the hotel where I was staying!

星空がめっちゃくちゃ綺麗でした！！
ヤシガニがいなくて残念でしたが、コウモリなど見れて楽しかったです☺️
ガイドのお兄さんもかっこよくて面白かったです
非日常を味わえてよかったです！
帰りも宿泊してるホテルまで送ってもらえて助かりました！

The starry sky was incredibly beautiful and moving! The guide was very knowledgeable about the stars, and it was a lot of fun to enjoy the viewing while listening to the explanations. At the night safari, I was able to see animals and plants I had never seen before, and it was enjoyable! It became a wonderful memory! Thank you very much!

星空がとても綺麗で感動しました！
ガイドの方はとても星に詳しく、説明を聞きながらの鑑賞はとても楽しかったです。
ナイトサファリでは今まで見たことない動物や植物を見ることができ、楽しかったです！
とても良い思い出になりました！
ありがとうございました！

I participated in a tour during the summer vacation in August.

The weather was clear for both days! I thought we were lucky with the weather, but according to our guide, the clouds over Shiratani Unsuikyo after the rain are the most beautiful.

We traveled for about two hours in total by shuttle and bus, but since it was on mountain roads, I regretted not taking motion sickness medication...

The Jomon Sugi course involved a route of trolley path → mountain path → Jomon Sugi, but the trolley path was too long and it was hell. There were wooden boards on the rails that we had to walk on, but some boards were floating or missing, and if I didn't lift my knees properly, my feet would get caught. It was also a difficult path to use trekking poles.

The mountain path was very enjoyable, but I struggled with the endless stairs and the steep slope of Hell's Third Street (as named by the guide).

It was a very fun tour, but the pace was fast, making it difficult to take pictures or enjoy the scenery thoroughly.

For infection prevention measures, we were instructed to wear masks while on the bus.

If you can complete the Jomon Sugi course on the first day, you can definitely clear the Shiratani Unsuikyo!

Even beginners can challenge this course if they prepare properly with trekking shoes, a backpack, snacks, and water.

Please be careful of muscle soreness. Your calves will get tight, so I recommend getting your body in shape before participating.

8月の夏休みを利用して、ツアーに参加しました。

天候は2日とも快晴！天気に恵まれたと思っていましたが、ガイドさんいわく、雨上がりの雲水峡が1番きれいとのこと。

送迎+バスでトータル2時間くらい移動しましたが、山道だったため、酔い止めを飲んでおけばよかったと後悔しました…


縄文杉コースは、トロッコ道→山道→縄文杉という道のりでしたが、トロッコ道が長すぎて、地獄でした。レールの上に木の板があって、その上を歩くのですが、板が浮いていたり、無いとこもあり、膝をしっかりあげないと足がひっかかりました。ストックも使いづらい道でした。

山道は道中とても楽しかったですが、階段をひたすら上がったり、斜面が急な地獄の3丁目(ガイドさん命名)に苦戦しました。

とても楽しいツアーでしたが、進むペースが早くてじっくり写真を撮ったり景色をみることは難しかったです。

感染対策は、乗車中はマスクをする、ことを案内されてました。

初日の縄文杉コースをクリアできたら、白谷雲水峡は確実にクリアできます！

初心者でもトレッキングシューズやリュック、行動食、お水など装備をしっかり整えれば挑戦できるコースでした。

筋肉痛には気をつけてください。ふくらはぎがパンパンになるので、体調を整えて、参加されることをお勧めします。

I was able to do both in one day. It seems to be quite a challenging tour, and it appears that the guide doesn't often conduct this tour.

Fortunately, everyone in the group was able to walk until the end, but I was nervous about not holding everyone back (especially since there was a final bus time...).

The guide was knowledgeable and answered all our questions. The weather was good, and it was sunny at Taiko Rock. In the second half, it was cloudy, which helped keep it from being too hot, and I was very satisfied.

However, the reason I gave it four stars instead of five is that at the time of departure, we were worried when the pickup didn't arrive for over 10 minutes. When I called, I finally got through on the third try, and all I was told was "just wait," resulting in us waiting about 20 minutes.

By the time we arrived at the entrance and were having breakfast, they apologized.

I understand that island time is a thing to some extent, but if there are delays, it would be helpful to receive a notification early on about how long we might have to wait. Since it was very early in the morning, there were no other means to confirm (or contact) anyone, which made me anxious. Since we had specifically requested the tour, I deducted one star.

１日で、どちらも行っていただきました。
やはり大変なツアーらしく、なかなかガイドさんもそのツアーをされないらしいツアー。

幸い、参加したメンバーみんな元気に最後まで歩けましたが、私がみんなの足を引っ張らないかドキドキしました。(最終のバスの時間もあるので、、、)

ガイドさんは、何でもご存知で質問は全て答えて下さいました。
天気も良く太鼓岩では晴れて、後半は曇ったおかげで暑すぎず、大変満足しました。

ただ一点、星を4つにした理由としては、
出発時、10分以上たっても送迎来られず心配になり電話をかけると、3回目でやっと繋がり「ちょっと待って」とだけ言われるだけで、結局約 20分待ちました。
結局入り口に到着して朝食を食べている時になり、詫びていただきましたが。

島時間なのはある程度理解しますが、
遅れるのなら早めに、また何分ほど待つと連絡いただけないと、大変早朝なので他に確認(連絡)する手段がないので、心配になりました。
折角ツアーに頼んでるので。
星を一つ減らしました。
