All Reviews for Bus Tours

It was great that the guide changed into a costume and danced on the bus. I had a lot of fun taking pictures with the 99-year-old grandmother from Ryukyu Village.

バスの中で、ガイドさんが衣装に着替えて、踊ってくれたのがとても良かったです。琉球村の99歳のお婆さんと一緒に写真を撮れてとても楽しかったです。

It was a bus tour blessed with great weather and a sense of liberation. The highway on the way back felt like a roller coaster, an experience you can't have on your own. The guide's commentary had a local touch, making it very enjoyable.

天気に恵まれ、解放感溢れるバスツアーでした。
帰りの高速はジェットコースターのようで、個人では体験できないです。
ガイドさんの案内が、地元ならでは！という感じでとても楽しめました。

Difficult to hear what the guides were saying.
Very busy between the different sights. When we finally found cherry blossoms there was no time to take photos.
Not too interesting to see the gardens and the shrine that was under reconstruction.

It's a half-day tour. At Sefa Utaki, I could see Kudaka Island, and it felt like I was adventuring in a cave at the Gangala Valley, holding a lantern.

半日ツアーです。斎場御嶽では、久高島が見られました、ガンガラーの谷は、洞窟を冒険しているようでした。ランタン持って。

I have been to an aquarium, so this was a tour that allowed me to visit other attractions. I traveled alone and didn't have a license, but it was sunny, and I was able to enjoy Okinawa at a leisurely pace. Thank you very much.
The photo is of the stairs at the Tropical Dream Center's observation deck. It felt like something out of a Studio Ghibli film.
I passed through Chatan for the first time, and it felt like being in America.
I also got to hear stories about the military base. The guide was very good at singing.

水族館には行ったことがあるので、他の名所を廻れるツアーです。一人旅で免許もないけど、晴れていたし、ゆっくり沖縄を過ごせました。ありがとうございました。
写真は熱帯ドリームセンターの展望台の階段。ジブリみたいでした。
北谷、初めて通ったけど、アメリカでした。
基地の話なども聞けました。ガイドさんの歌がお上手でした。

I had a great experience before, so I participated with my brother's family as well. The freshness of being able to view various buildings and landscapes from the high position of the bus is truly wonderful. Since it was a nice spring season, we were able to see the cherry blossoms, which made it even more enjoyable. The guide's performance really enhances the tour. Everyone, both children and adults, gets very excited when passing under the bridge. I think it would be great if there were a tour that also includes Tokyo Tower and other places for about an additional 30 minutes.

前に利用して良かったので兄弟の家族も一緒に参加しました。
色んな建物や景色がバスの高い位置から眺められるという新鮮さは本当に良いです。
春の良い季節だったので桜も見れてより楽しめました。
ガイドさんの演出がよりツアーを盛り上げてくれます。橋の下をくぐる時は子供も大人も大興奮です。
プラス30分くらいで東京タワーや他の場所も一緒にまわれるツアーもあったらいいなと思います。

When I first came to Japan, the first place I’ve always wanted to visit was Mt.Fuji and see the beautiful scenary of the mountain!~ It was breathtaking moment to see the mountain in person and get a clear view of it. It was an unforgettable day for me that I’ll cherish!~

Tour guide Jim was excellent and he made the tour interesting and fun. The locations selected were just right and what we wished to see.

I participated with friends from China in Singapore. I decided to join a day trip from Kanazawa the day before the tour, and the reservation process was easy and straightforward. I initially planned to go by bus on my own, but the morning and evening reservations were already full. The tour had 40% Japanese and 60% foreigners, with both Japanese and English guides, and it was extremely enjoyable. The small group created a friendly atmosphere that was fantastic. The guidance on how to explore Shirakawa-go and Gokayama was clear and easy to understand!!! The guide and driver from Kanazawa created a great atmosphere, and their desire to make sure everyone had a good time was evident. I made wonderful memories with my friends. Thank you very much!!!

シンガポール、中国の友だちと参加しました。
ツアー前日に金沢発の一日旅行を思い立って申し込みましたが、予約は簡単で、わかりやすかったです。個人でバスでいくつもりでしたが、既に朝、夕方の予約はいっぱいでしたが、ツアーは日本人4割、外国人6割、日英ガイドがつきで、非常に楽しかったです。グループは少人数でフレンドリーな雰囲気が最高でした。
白川郷、五箇山での回り方もガイダンスがありわかりやすかったです！！！
金沢出身のガイドさん、ドライバーさんがいい雰囲気づくりをされていて、楽しんでもらおうという気持ちがつたわりました。
友人とのいい思い出ができました。ありがとうございました！！！

I participated in a half-day tour that allowed for airport drop-off, and both Sefa Utaki and the Gyangala Valley were fascinating, making it a satisfying tour. The Gyangala Valley, especially with the guidance of the tour guide, was impressive.

空港下車可の半日ツアーだったので参加しましたが、斎場御嶽とガンガラーの谷どちらも興味深く、満足のいくツアーでした。
特にガイドの方の案内でまわるガンガラーの谷が印象的でした。

The guide's stories were very enjoyable, and I was able to deepen my understanding of Yakushima. I'm really glad I participated! Thank you very much.

ガイドさんのお話がとても楽しく、屋久島への理解を深めることができました。
参加して本当によかったです！
ありがとうございました。

I participated with my middle and high school children. While enjoying the scenery along the way, the guide kindly shared stories about the area, highlights of the spots we were heading to, and how to get around. We were able to enjoy our free time at a leisurely pace. The guide's interesting stories kept the children engaged and listening seriously.

The lunch was plentiful and very delicious. Despite having eaten pork buns, croquettes, and dumplings, the children finished everything. The hands-on experience of making senbei was also well-received.

I usually travel by car, and this was my first bus tour, but I felt like I could experience the land more leisurely than on my usual trips. I was delighted by the scenery of Shirakawa-go, which I had wanted to visit for many years.

The guide, interpreter, and driver were all warm and friendly, which made for a very pleasant experience. Although the weather was unfortunately rainy at times, thanks to the staff, I was able to enjoy myself thoroughly. Bus tours are great! I would like to use them again.

中高生の子供と参加しました。道中景色を見ながら、この地方の話、これから向かうスポットの見所、回り方をガイドさんが丁寧に話して下さり、自由行動もゆっくり楽しむことができました。ガイドさんが興味深いお話を上手にして下さるので、子供達も真剣に聞いていました。
お昼ご飯は量も多く、とても美味しかったです。子供達は豚まんやコロッケ、団子、、食べていたにも関わらず完食でした。せんべい手焼き体験も好評でした。
普段車での旅行で、バスツアーは初めてだったのですが、いつもの旅行より、ゆったりと土地を感じられた気がします。長年訪ねたかった白川郷、景色にほっこりとしました。
ガイドさん、通訳さん、運転手さん、温かく声をかけて下さり、とても気持ちが良かったです。あいにくの雨が降ったり止んだりの天気でしたが、スタッフの方々のおかげで、十分楽しめました。バスツアーいいですね。また利用したいと思いました。

Despite the unfortunate heavy rain, our guide provided thorough explanations even after we got off the bus. I really felt that the guide's timing and way of speaking were truly professional. (The guide from the company that conducted the stargazing tour, which was canceled the day before due to cloudy skies, was not as impressive during the night drive in Ishigaki Island... I couldn't help but smile wryly.) The guide took photos for us and showed us pictures of what it looks like on sunny days, which really helped to lighten the mood for us tourists who were disappointed by the bad weather. I would love to come back and do this tour again on a nice day! ^_^

あいにくの大雨でしたが、ガイドさんはバスを降りてからも丁寧に説明してくださいました。
ガイドのタイミングと話し方が、やっぱりプロだなぁ〜と感じました。(前日、曇り空で中止になった星空ツアーの会社が行なってくださった石垣島の夜ドライブをしてくださった時のガイドさんはイマイチだったので…苦笑い)
写真を撮ってくださったり、晴れた日はこうだよ〜と写真を見せてくださったり、悪天候で残念に思っている私たち観光客を和ませてくださいました。また天気のいい時に、このツアーでリベンジしに行きたいです^_^

I booked this tour to the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium at the request of a friend who was visiting for the first time. Everything was included, so it was easy to just hop on the bus and go! The bus guide was very charming, providing commentary and even singing songs from the window, which was very soothing.

Since the time at the Churaumi Aquarium was limited, we had to rush a bit to see everything we wanted, but we were able to take plenty of photos, and I think there was enough time to explore. If you coordinate your timing, you could also catch the dolphin show and visit the dugong exhibit outside. Unfortunately, the beautiful beach near the aquarium that the guide recommended was closed due to the typhoon from the previous week, which was disappointing.

I was looking forward to the bridge to Kouri Island, and when I saw it from the bus, the bridge and the sea were so beautiful that it really lifted my spirits! There was plenty of time to take photos around the bridge, so I was satisfied.

At the Okashi Goten, you can buy the classic purple sweet potato tart and chinsuko. The freshly made purple sweet potato tart recommended by the guide is only available in limited places, so I highly recommend it! It was moist and delicious.

Manzamo and American Village didn't leave much of an impression on me. There wasn't much to see at American Village, so we went to a nearby Aeon to look for souvenirs. The souvenir section was well-stocked, so I think it's a good idea for those with extra time to visit Aeon!

Lunch is not included, so be careful as there aren't many places to eat besides the Churaumi Aquarium. We missed our timing and ended up taking American dogs and other snacks from the aquarium's shop to eat on the bus.

Overall, I was satisfied with how efficiently we were able to see various places! I recommend this tour for those who don't have a rental car or other means of transportation.

初めて沖縄に行く友達のリクエストで、美ら海水族館に行けるこちらのツアーを予約しました。
全て込み込みなので、バスに乗って移動するだけなので楽ちんでした！バスガイドの方がとても可愛らしい方で、車窓から見えるガイドや歌も歌って下さり、とても癒されました。美ら海水族館は時間が決まっていたため、見たいところを少し駆け足でという感じでしたが、写真もたくさん撮れましたし、十分に回れる時間だと思います。時間を合わせれば、イルカショーや外のジュゴン館も見れました。ただ、ガイドさんがおすすめしてくださった水族館近くの綺麗なビーチは、前の週の台風の影響で立ち入り禁止になっており、残念でした…。
古宇利島の橋も楽しみにしていたので、バスから見えた瞬間、橋と海がとっても綺麗で、テンションが上がりました！橋の周辺で写真を撮る時間もたくさんあったので満足です。
お菓子御殿は定番の紅芋タルトやちんすこうが買えます。ガイドさんもおすすめしていた出来立ての生紅芋タルト、限られたところでしか買えませんのでおすすめです！しっとりしていておいしかったです。
万座毛とアメリカンビレッジはあまり印象に残らなかったです…。アメリカンビレッジではあまり見るところがなかったので、近くのイオンにお土産を探しに行きました。お土産品コーナーも充実していたので、時間が余った方はイオンに行くのもいいと思います！
お昼は含まれていないので、美ら海水族館くらいしか食べる時間・場所がありませんので気を付けてください。私たちはタイミングを逃してしまい、美ら海水族館の売店でアメリカンドックなどをテイクアウトしてバスの中で食べました。
総合的に色々なところを効率よく観光できたので、満足でした！レンタカーなど移動手段がない方におすすめです。

The open-deck bus tour was my first tour visiting Osaka, and we got to see the sights at a height where we could almost reach the signs. It was a short time, but I had a lot of fun.

オープンデッキバスツアー、大阪を訪ねて初めのツアー、看板に手が届きそうな高さより、スポット見学。短時間でしたが楽しかったです。

I felt a deep connection with the Earth. The guide was knowledgeable about everything and had a memorable way of conveying information, making me want to take the tour again! I also understood the challenges of maintaining World Heritage sites and met people filled with love for their local community. Thank you very much!

地球と一体化しました。ガイドさんは、何でも詳しく感心しましたし、印象に残る、伝え方を心得ていてまた、もう一度ツアーを利用したいと感じました‼世界遺産の維持管理の大変さもわかり、地元愛に溢れた人々にお会いしました。ありがとうございました‼

On our trip for two, we considered renting a car, but since there was a shuttle service to the hotel, we decided to participate. At Pineapple Park, we had to move quickly to avoid running out of time, but we were able to enjoy plenty of tastings. For lunch, we had... hmm? This? A hot sandwich. It was cold, and I think everyone might have wondered if this was really lunch. The Churaumi Aquarium was a lot of fun, and three hours flew by. The Okashi Goten felt like a souvenir shop for tourists. The driver and guide were friendly and smiling. It turned out to be a fulfilling day. Thank you very much.

二人旅で、レンタカーと迷いましたが、ホテルまで送迎付きでしたので参加させていただきました。パイナップルパークはゆっくり見ていると時間がなくなるため、サクッと回りました。試飲、試食はたくさんできました。昼食は、ん？これ？ホットサンド。冷え冷えでこれで昼食付きとはうたっては、皆さんこれが？と思われたかもです。美ら海水族館は、3時間があっという間で、とても楽しめました。
お菓子御殿は観光地のお土産やさん。との感じでした。
運転手さん、ガイドさんは笑顔で感じは良かったです。充実した１日になりました。ありがとうございました。

Very encompassing tour of Tokyo. You see a both a Buddhist Temple and Shinto Shrine, visit several gardens, shop, take a boat ride on a scenic part of the river and have a great Japanese lunch. Of course the Cherry Blossoms were in bloom which made it extra special. Great guide!

This was the first time I took my parents on a bus tour and they were pleasantly surprised. The parking lot of the Metropolitan Government Building was a little confusing to find at first so make sure to get there early. Since the 5th station was closed due to the weather, we went to the 4th station instead but still had beautiful views from the top. The lunch at Fuji Q Highland was actually very tasty (chicken cacciatore, salad, bread, coffee/tea, dessert) in a beautiful little restaurant and an amazing view of the Mount Fuji from the tables. We had just enough time to do the sightseeing cruise, ropeway, and grab a little ice cream treat from the souvenir shop which must be a nice touch during the summer. We really loved the cruise and the view from the top of the cable car was spectacular for photos. Even if you were to add the cost of the bus, activities, food, and time to research I think it would cost more than than the tour itself. I would highly recommend this day trip to casual travelers that want a small taste of Japan's tallest and most majestic mountain.

I enjoyed this tour during my stay in Kanazawa. We were able to efficiently visit Shirakawa-go and Takayama. The time allocation was just right, with plenty of free time to explore the highlights at my own pace. The driver and guides were also very pleasant, and I had a wonderful time. I participated on April 3rd, and after an unusual snowfall, Shirakawa-go was beautifully covered in snow.

金沢滞在での一日にこのツアーを楽しみました。白川郷と高山を効率良く回る事ができました。時間配分はちょうど良く、自由時間も充分あり、好きなペースで見所を歩けました。ドライバー、ガイドの方々も感じ良く、素晴らしい時間を過ごせました。4月３日の参加でしたが、季節外れの雪が積もった後で、美しい雪の白川郷でした。

Places like Shiretoko and Shirakami-Sanchi, which are World Heritage Sites, are often only accessible by four-wheel drive, making them not easy to visit. However, the Yakuzaru bus can be easily booked online! You can enter the World Heritage area as soon as you think about it! The Western Forest Road was amazing. Yakuzaru and Yakushima deer were living freely, showing their natural selves. It was the best!

The ability to circle the island is also appealing. The local bus guide shared the conditions and history of each village as if providing a live commentary.

You can see two waterfalls that represent Yakushima, and if you combine the views from the car, you can see three, plus you can visit Inakahama. The morning session included a drive along the coastline and the World Heritage sites, making it truly packed with experiences.

In the afternoon session at Yakusugi Land and the Jomon Cedar, you quickly ascend to 1,000 meters, which really makes you feel that Yakushima is a mountainous island. Although I didn't see any sea turtle nesting sites, I would like to participate again at a different time.

知床や白神山地など世界自然遺産はどこも四輪駆動でしか入れないことが多く、手軽には尋ねることが、できません。しかし、やくざる号は予約もネットで簡単！思いたったらすぐ世界遺産地域に入れます！！西部林道は最高でした。ヤクザルやヤクシカが普通に生活していました。自然体の姿を見せてくれました。最高です！
島を一周できるのも魅力ですね。地元のバスガイドさんが各集落のようすや集落の歴史をまるで実況中継のように話してくれました。
水の島、屋久島を代表する滝も２つ、車窓を合わされると３つ見ることかできますし、いなか浜にも行けます。午前の部は海岸線のドライブも世界遺産もありで本当に盛りだくさんでした。
ヤクスギランド・紀元杉と午後の部では一気に１０００メートルを駆け上がって屋久島が山の島であることも感じさせてくれます。
ウミガメの産卵跡はみられませんでしたが、時期を変えてまた参加したいです。

I was satisfied that I could visit World Heritage sites without wasting time. The advice on highlights and routes was also helpful. The lunch spot and the rice cracker shop had friendly service, making for a pleasant dining and experience! In the morning, we gathered at the west exit of Kanazawa Station, but there were no signs, so I wished they had something like a whiteboard to guide us.

時間の無駄なく世界遺産を巡ることが出来て満足です。
見所や順路のアドバイスも参考になりました。
ランチのお店もお煎餅のお店も、対応が明るくて気持ち良く食事や体験ができました！
朝、金沢駅西口に集合ですが案内板などは出てないのでホワイトバード的なモノを出しておいて欲しかったです。

It had everything I wanted to see!
The time spent at each location was short, but I was able to visit quite effectively.
And the guide was a wonderful person, which made for a relaxing day!

行きたい所が全て詰まってました！
1箇所に滞在する時間は短いですが、かなり有効的に回れます。
そしてガイドさんも素敵な方で一日癒されました！

I participated with my 4-year-old child. We chose the 5 PM boat for our return. After the water buffalo cart ride, we enjoyed an additional 2 hours of rental cycling. The sun was a bit strong, but it was fun to easily explore the island. It was also convenient to use the free shuttle from Ishigaki Port to the hotel on our way back.

4歳の子連れで参加しました。
帰りの船は17時を選択、
水牛車のあと、追加でレンタサイクルを2時間くらい楽しみました。
少し日差しがきつかったですが、お手軽に島を観光できて楽しかったです。
帰りに石垣港からホテルまで無料送迎が使えたのも便利でした。

My first domestic tour with Veltra was a huge success. The explanations about the ancient Port of Kawa people, why it's called Ganagalaru, the plants, and the formation of the valley were all very interesting. Plus, it was at a great price, which was wonderful.

ベルトラの国内ツワーは初めてでしたが、大当たりでした。
ガンガラーの谷での、古代の港川人、何故ガンガラーの名前なのか、植物、谷の成り立ち、それぞれの説明がとても興味深かったです。
また、お手頃価格で、素晴らしい。

I participated in this optional tour during my first trip to Okinawa, and it was easy and enjoyable! The staff was also very kind! Thank you for your help!

初めて沖縄旅行でこのオプションツアーに参加して、楽で楽しかったです！スタフも優しかったです！
お世話になりました！

At the end of March, it was a bit early for cherry blossoms, and Shirakawa-go had only a little snow left, so I didn't have high expectations. However, there were guests from abroad on the tour, and the tour guide provided explanations in both English and Japanese. We enjoyed stories about history, local anecdotes, and personal experiences from the guide, making the bus ride quite enjoyable. The lunch was also warm and welcoming, and I was very satisfied. I would definitely like to participate again if the opportunity arises.

３月末で桜には少し早いし、雪も残雪程度の白川郷でしたので、期待はあまりしていなかったのですが、ツアーのお客さんには外国からの方もいて、添乗員さんは英語と日本語の２か国語で説明してくれました。
歴史の話や地元ならではの話、また添乗員さんが個人的に体験した話など、バスの中でも十分楽しめました。
昼食も温かいもてなしをうけ、大満足でした。
また機会があれば是非参加したいと思います。

Unfortunately, the weather wasn't very good, but it was great that we could cycle at our own pace and explore various places. We were able to choose our return ferry time, so we could relax and take our time.

残念ながら天気はあまり良くなかったですが、
サイクリングで自分たちのペースで各所をまわることができて良かったです。
帰りの船の時間は自分たちで選ぶことができたので、
ゆっくり過ごせました。

I was scheduled to return on an afternoon flight, so I had limited time, but I was able to efficiently visit the highlights of Ishigaki Island. The weather was favorable, and the guide's stories were interesting. I was also grateful to be taken to the airport.

午後の便で帰る予定だったので限られた時間でしたが、
石垣島の見所を効率良くまわることができました。
天気に恵まれ、ガイドさんのお話も面白く、
空港にも送っていただけたのはありがたかったです。

It was my first time in Okinawa, and I was unsure whether to rent a car, but choosing this tour was definitely the right decision. Both the guide and the driver were kind. They even sang for us, and not only did we get to our destinations, but we also learned a lot from the detailed guidance along the way, including the relationship between the U.S. military camps and the local community, as well as the current situation. It was not just sightseeing; it was educational as well. There was also plenty of free time at the places we visited. I would definitely recommend this to others traveling to Okinawa for the first time.

初めての沖縄でしたので、レンタカーを借りるかどうか迷いましたが、こちらのツアーにして大正解でした。ガイドさんも運転手さんも親切でした。唄も歌って下さり、目的地だけでなく、道中各地の細やかなガイド、米軍キャンプと地元の方々との関わり方や現状など、たくさん知ることができ、単なる観光というだけでなく勉強にもなりました。訪問地での自由時間も十分余裕がありました。初めて沖縄を旅する周りの人達に勧めたいと思いました。
