All Reviews for Bus Tours

During the boat tour in Iriomote Island, it rained, but we didn't get too wet, and it was amazing! The bus driver provided explanations about Iriomote Island during the ride, so it was enjoyable and never boring. I was surprised by the size of the water buffalo! They were all so cute. My fourth-grade daughter also had a great time. The lunch set was delicious. We stayed on Taketomi Island until the last minute, and the locals were kind. I want to go back again!

西表島の遊覧船の時に雨が降ったので、そんなに濡れる事もなく、サイコーでした☆
移動中のバスも運転手さんが西表島の説明をしてくれて飽きる事もなく楽しかったです
水牛の大きさにビックリ！！
どの子も可愛かったです
小4の娘も楽しんでいました
お昼定食もおいしかったです
ギリギリまで竹富島にいて、島の人たちも優しく、また行きたいです！

I'm glad I was able to experience three islands in one day. I think renting a bicycle for sightseeing in Taketomi Island is essential for anyone who isn't very confident in their physical fitness. Since the time for exploring Iriomote Island was short, I thought it might be fine to just do the water buffalo cart experience from Iriomote to Yufu.

1日で3島体験できて良かったです
竹富島観光にレンタサイクリングは相当体力に自信がある人以外は必須だと思います
西表島の散策時間が短かったため、水牛車体験は、西表→由布だけでもいいかなと思いました

At the Churaumi Aquarium, I was able to see the dolphin show starting at 3:00 PM. You can efficiently visit Manza Beach, the Pineapple Park, Churaumi Aquarium, and Kouri Island, but the time is tight. The participants included Japanese, Koreans, and Taiwanese (the car was quite quiet), and the guide's explanations were in Japanese only. It seemed that foreign tourists received information about the attractions through audio devices.

美ら海水族館では15:00からのイルカのショーを見ることができました。万座毛、パイナップル園、美ら海水族館、古宇利島を効率良く回れますが時間はタイトです。
参加者は日本人、韓国人、台湾人(車内は至って静か)等でガイドさんの説明は日本語オンリー。外国人には観光地の案内はオーディオ機器による説明のようでした。

Although I’m a local, it was my first bus tour, so I had various concerns. However, the female bus guide was incredibly thorough in her explanations and treated us kindly! At each tour location, amidst many other inbound tourist groups, she referred to us as "my guests," which made us feel acknowledged. She also asked, "Are you okay?" to check on our health and proactively offered to take photos for us! The fact that she guided us in three languages was impressive!

地元なんですが初めてのバスツアーでしたのでいろいろ不安でしたが女性バスガイドさんが凄く丁寧に説明してくれたり優しくしていただきました！ツアー場所ごとに他のインバウンド団体観光客がたくさんいるなか
「私のお客さん」って言ってくれて
わかってくれてるところ、「大丈夫ですか？」体調を聞いてくれたり「写真撮ってあげます」と積極的にいって撮っていただきました！３か国語で、ガイドも、すごい！

It was a bus tour with a lot of foreign visitors, and I had a great day. The guide provided explanations in three languages with a touch of humor, which was enjoyable. Unfortunately, the weather was rainy, and we couldn't see anything at Cape Earth due to thick fog. I recommend this tour for those who want to efficiently explore Hokkaido.

外国人の方が多くらいのバスツアーでしたが、楽しく一日を過ごせました。
ガイドさんは3カ国語で各場所の説明をユーモアを交えて話してくれて楽しかったです。
天気が雨で、地球岬は濃霧で何も見えず残念でした。
効率よく北海道を回りたい方におすすめのツアーです。

私たちが経験した中で最高のツアーの一つでした。ツアーガイドはフレンドリーで、情報が豊富で、プロフェッショナルで、非常に助けてくれました。ビュッフェランチは美味しかったです。皆に強くお勧めします。

One of the best tours we’ve had. The tour guide was friendly, informative, professional & exceptionally helpful. The buffet lunch was delicious. Highly recommended to everyone.

I had a great day exploring Ishigaki Island. Although the sky was cloudy, the scenery was almost exactly like in the brochure. The prices were reasonable, and the glass-bottom boat, which was an additional charge, was excellent. I've experienced other glass-bottom boats several times before, but this one was the best.

石垣島一周、曇り空でしたがパンフレットとほとんど一緒の景色を経験出来て、とても良い一日になりました。料金も手軽で、別料金のグラスボートはとても良かった
今まで何回か他のクラスボードの経験はありますが、一番良かった。

My first visit to Ishigaki Island was during the rainy season, but fortunately, it didn't rain and I was able to enjoy sightseeing. The color of the sea is truly different. I was amazed by the mangrove forest during the island-hopping cruise, and I was also impressed by the water buffalo cart for the first time. On Taketomi Island, I was torn between renting a bicycle and taking the bus, but taking the bus turned out to be the right choice. Unfortunately, the stargazing tour that night was canceled due to cloudy skies, which was really disappointing. I accidentally forgot it was the rainy season when planning my trip, but I'm glad it didn't rain and I was able to have a great time.

初めての石垣島、梅雨の時期に行ったのですが、雲空で雨になる事無く、観光できて
良かった。本当に海の色が違う、3島めぐりでクルージングでマングローブの林にビックリ、又初めての水牛車に感激し竹富島では、自電車とバスで悩んでいましたが、バスで回るのが正解でした。到着した夜の星空ツアーが曇り空の為キャンセルとなり本当に残念です。うっかり梅雨の時期を忘れ旅行の日程を組んでしまいましたが
雨にならずとても楽しむ事が出来て良かったです。

I chose the course at Okinawa World. I thought it was just a tourist facility and didn't have high expectations, but it was really fun. The Eisa performance was powerful and very impressive.

おきなわワールドのコースを選びました。観光客相手の施設と思いあまり期待してなかったのですが、すごく楽しかったです。エイサーは迫力満点で見応えありました。

For two consecutive years, the tour was rainy, but this year the weather was favorable, and I was able to get the long-awaited photo taken by the guide! It became a great memory.

2年続きでツアーが雨でしたが、今年は天候に恵まれ、念願の一枚もガイドさんにとっていただきました！いい思い出になりました。

The tour started on time. Our tour guide, Tou, is knowledgeable, and his ability to speak three languages was very helpful for us to understand the information about the sites we visited. He is a true asset! Please extend our big thank you to Tou for being patient with us and for recommending the best ice cream to try (Kitakaro) at Sapporo Airport! Also, a big thank you to our driver.

The blue lake was awesome! A must-visit site in Biei!

I was able to go to the places I wanted to visit, and with thorough explanations, I had a wonderful time. I also had the opportunity to spend time with friends and meet new people, which was a valuable experience. Thank you very much.

行きたい所に行き、丁寧な説明もつけていただいて、楽しい時間を過ごせました。
友達が知り合えた方とも、一緒にすごすじかんもあり、貴重な体験もできました。
ありがとうございました。

I was the only Japanese participant, but the guide spoke fluently in Chinese, Korean, and Japanese, so there were no issues at all.

I was glad to efficiently visit sightseeing spots that would take a lot of time if I went on my own.

I was also happy with the souvenirs.

日本人は自分一人の参加でしたが、
ガイドの方は中国語、韓国語、日本語と流暢にお話されて全く問題ありませんでした。

自分で行くと、時間がとてもかかる観光スポットを効率的に回れてよかったです。

お土産も嬉しかったです。

It was my first visit to Asahiyama Zoo in 10 years. The bus was comfortable, the guide's explanations were easy to understand, and the zoo was not crowded, so I was able to enjoy it thoroughly, even having extra time to spare. On top of that, I was able to hear the clock tower's bell at 6:00 PM, which was a nice bonus.

10年ぶりの旭山動物園でした。バスもゆったり、添乗員さんの説明もわかりやすく動物園も空いていた為時間を持て余すくらい十二分に楽しめました。おまけに、時計台の18:00の鐘も聞くことができ、お得(?)でした。

The weather was wonderful, and the content of this bus tour was excellent. I accompanied my family on a work trip to Hokkaido and enjoyed my free time to the fullest. The female bus driver drove carefully, and the tour guide was friendly, very kind, and had enjoyable conversations, making for a pleasant trip. Thank you very much. I definitely want to participate in the tour again.

お天気にも恵まれ、今回のバスツアーの内容にも恵まれて最高でした。
家族の仕事で北海道に帯同して自由な時間を満喫しました。
女性バスドライバーさんの運転は丁寧、添乗員さんは親しみやすくとても親切でトークも楽しく気持ちの良い旅行を過ごさせていただきありがとうございました。
又、必ずツアーに参加したいと思います。

I was looking for tourist spots in Nagoya that I could visit before the night bus departure, and the timing and price were just right, so I decided to join as a solo participant. As the reviews mentioned, it was mostly a tour for international travelers, with about 40 people, and only three of us were Japanese.

In the morning, I felt a bit anxious, but everyone was very well-mannered, acted on time, and the bus was completely quiet and comfortable. The tour guide was also very polite, explaining the pamphlets one by one at each seat, which made it easy to understand.

The bus driver was a woman, and she drove safely, allowing me to spend the day with peace of mind. I'm glad I participated. I definitely want to visit Shirakawa-go in winter, so I think I'll join again.

名古屋で夜バスの時間までで行ける観光地を探してて、時間、料金と丁度良いので1人で参加してみました。口コミの通り、ほぼ海外の方達のツアーで40人程の中、日本人は3人でした
朝はちょっと不安になりましたが、皆さん本当にマナーがよく時間通り行動してバスの車内でも全然静かで快適でした
添乗員さんも、大変丁寧な対応でパンフレットを1組ずつ座席を回って説明してくれて分かりやすかったです。
バスの運転手さんも女性の方でしたが、安全運転で安心して1日が過ごせました
参加して良かったです。冬の白川郷にも是非行ってみたいので又参加してみようと思います

It was a personal tour without a guide, and I had concerns about transfers, but there were signs at each location, allowing for smooth movement without confusion, and I was able to fully enjoy the activities. Unfortunately, I only saw people, water buffalo, crows, and herons! It's a shame that I didn't see any marine or forest wildlife!

添乗者なしの個人ツアーであり乗継などの不安があったが、各所に案内がありスムーズに移動ができ戸惑うことがなくアクティビティを満喫できた。残念な事は人、水牛、カラス、サギしか見ていない！海・森の野生生物は見かけないのが残念！

Tour guides were very informative………………………………………..

I had a great time! The guide with the Osaka dialect had such a witty storytelling style that I was never bored, and I thoroughly enjoyed Osaka Minami. The hour flew by in no time. Next time, I would love to come back and share the cold with the guide on an open bus during the harsh winter, where even eyelashes freeze! I'm also grateful for the driver's incredibly safe driving!

いやあ良かった‼️大阪訛りのガイドさんの実に軽妙な語り口に終始飽きる事なく、大阪ミナミ楽しませて貰いました。一時間はあっと言う間に過ぎました。次回は出来ればまつ毛も凍ってしまうと言う厳寒期のオープンバスで是非ガイドさんと寒さを共有しに来たいと思います。運転手さんの安全無比なドライビングにも感謝です‼️

On a half-day bus tour, you can efficiently visit either the Nirai Kanai Bridge and the Sefa Utaki or Okinawa World or the Valley of Gangala. I thought there would be a guide for Sefa Utaki, but there wasn't, so that's something to be aware of. I was able to enjoy the atmosphere, so it was okay. Okinawa World’s Gyokusendo Cave was impressive. The highlight, the Super Eisa Show, is very time-sensitive, so be cautious about that as well.

半日のバスツアーで、ニライカナイ橋を渡って、斎場御嶽とおきなわワールドorガンガラーの谷のどちらかを効率よく回れます。
勝手に斎場御嶽のガイドがつくと思ってたのですが、ガイドなしなのでそこは注意が必要です。雰囲気を楽しめたのでOKです。おきなわワールドは玉泉洞が圧巻でした。目玉のスーパーエイサーショーはタイミングがギリギリなのでそこもご注意を。

The mangrove cruise had a guide whose explanations were very easy to understand, allowing us to truly appreciate the beauty of nature. The water buffalo cart ride to Yubu Island was charming, and the water buffalo were very cute. In particular, the water buffalo named Rui was gentle and soothing to be around. We also got to meet a baby water buffalo, which made for a precious experience. The lunch featured local specialties, and it was delicious. It became a wonderful memory.

マングローブクルーズではガイドの方の説明がとても分かりやすく、自然の魅力をじっくり感じることができました。由布島へ渡る水牛車も風情があり、水牛がとても可愛らしかったです。特に、触れ合えた水牛ルイくんはおとなしくて癒されました。子水牛にも出会えて、貴重な時間を過ごせました。昼食には地元の特産品が使われていて、美味しくいただきました。良い思い出になりました。

Iriomote Island reportedly has only two taxis and very few buses, so if you want to go to Yubu Island, the only option is a tour. In my case, I've seen the mangroves on Iriomote Island several times, so I only wanted to go to Yubu Island, but all the tours, including this one, also include the mangroves (laughs). So, once again, I ended up seeing the mangroves for about an hour, but this time there were flowers blooming and many new shoots, which made it a different experience from the usual cruise, and I really enjoyed it. The journey to Yubu Island was also fun as we rode a water buffalo cart while listening to the sound of the sanshin. The lunch was delicious, and the staff treated us very well. It was a tour I would definitely want to take again when I visit Ishigaki Island.

西表島はタクシーが２台しか無いそうでバスもほぼ無いので由布島に行きたい場合はツアーしかありません。私の場合西表島のマングローブは何度か見てるので由布島にだけ行きたかったのですが、こちらのツアーや他のツアーも全てマングローブが入って来ます（笑）なので、今回もまたマングローブを1時間ほど見る羽目になったのですが今回はマングローブにお花が咲いていたり新芽が沢山あったりいつものクルーズとはまた違う表情が見れて楽しかったです。由布島までの道のりも水牛車で三線の音色を聴きながら楽しく過ごしました。お弁当も美味しかったしスタッフの皆さんにも良くして頂きました。また石垣島に来た時は是非お願いしたいツアーでした。

The weather wasn't great, but I was able to enjoy everything. Mr. Wang spoke in three languages, making it a worldwide trip, and at the blue pond, which I wanted to visit the most, the rain stopped, and I was able to see the beautiful blue— it was amazing! We disbanded almost on time; it was a good trip. Thank you very much.

お天気があまりでしたが、全て楽しむことが出来ました。王さんが3ヶ国語で喋って下さり、ワールドワイドな旅でしたし、1番行きたかった青い池では雨も止み、綺麗なブルーを見ることができて最高でした！
ほぼ時間通りに解散、いい旅でした。
ありがとうございました。

I chose this tour because I wanted to go to Mount Aso and Takachiho from Kumamoto. It was disappointing that I couldn't see anything at Mount Aso due to the fog, but Takachiho Gorge was very beautiful. We also stopped by Amano Iwato Shrine, and the lunch had a variety of dishes and was fairly tasty.

熊本から阿蘇山と高千穂に行きたかったのでこのツアーを選びました。阿蘇山は霧で何も見えず残念でしたが高千穂峡はとてもきれいでした。天岩戸神社にも寄るし、ランチも品数があってまあまあ美味しかったです。

As the reviews mentioned, there were only foreigners and we were the only Japanese. Everyone was punctual and very well-mannered, making for a comfortable bus tour. The tour guide spoke multiple languages and came to our seats to explain the pamphlet in each language. They were very kind. In Takayama, we ran out of time since it was lunchtime.

口コミの通り、外国籍の方ばかりで日本人は私たちだけでした。みなさん、時間も守りマナーもとてもよく快適なバスツアーでした。添乗員さんは多国語を話し、パンフの説明もそれぞれの言葉で席まで来て説明してくれます。とても親切ですよ。高山は、お昼時なので時間が足らなくなりました。

Experiencing three islands in one day, including a mangrove tour, was wonderful. Yufu Island is definitely a must-visit, and the island itself was very nice. However, there were some people who weren't very skilled with the sanshin, which was a bit disappointing, and the different sounds coming from several carts created a chaotic atmosphere, so that service might not be necessary. Also, the shop on Iriomote Island was closed when we wanted to go back, and there wasn't enough time on the way there, so I would like them to consider the timing better.

As for the main attraction, Taketomi Island, the explanation from the young male guide on the cart was very monotonous and lacked enthusiasm. It felt like he was just reciting a script without engaging, which I thought was a waste of time. I would have liked some guidance on renting bicycles and other activities once we arrived on the island. Overall, while it is more efficient than exploring everything on your own, there are some tight time constraints if you want to relax. Additionally, since there are beaches, it would be nice to have a suggestion to bring swimwear.

一日で3島、そして、その中でもマングローブツアーを体験できたりできたのは素晴らしいです。由布島は絶対行くべきですし島自体とてもよかったです。ただ、中には三線をうまくこなしていない方もいてそこはちょっと残念だったのと数台の牛車から異なる音が聞こえるのはカオスなのでそのサービスはなくてもいいのでは、と。また、西表島の売店に行きたくても帰りの船の時は閉まっていて、行きでは時間ないのでそのあたりの時間配分を考えていただきたいです。メインの竹富島ですが、牛車の案内係の若い男性の説明があまりにもたんたんとしていてやる気がないというか。ただただ前をみて台本を言わされている感があり、ここは時間の無駄だったと思います。島についてからレンタサイクルなども借りられるなどの案内などもほしかったです。総合的には自分ですべて回るよりも効率いいですがゆっくりするにはちょっと時間がタイトな部分もあります。また、浜辺とかもあるので水着持参とかの案内があった方が親切だな、とも思いました。

We are a couple, 67 years old and 64 years old, traveling together. The mangrove cruise in Iriomote Island was enjoyable, and the guide was very skilled at explaining things. Additionally, even during the approximately 15-minute bus ride on the island, the driver's talk was very entertaining, and he kept chatting until just before the bus stopped.

On Taketomi Island, we explored by renting bicycles, which made us sweat. Next time, if we have the opportunity to go again, I would like to ride in an ox cart and learn about the culture of Taketomi Island and the Yaeyama Islands.

私67歳、妻64歳の夫婦での旅行です。
西表島のマングローブクルーズは説明の方も上手で楽しかったです。また、島内バス移動の際の片道15分程度にも関わらず、運転手さんのトークが、非常に楽しく、面白く車が止まる寸前までお話してくれました。
竹富島ではレンタサイクルで回りましたが、汗はかきました。次回、もし行ける機会があれば、牛車に乗って竹富島や八重山の文化を聞きたいな、と思います。

We visited Manza Beach, Pineapple Park, Okashi Goten, Kouri Island, and Churaumi Aquarium in that order. The bus guide's explanations were also interesting! Thank you very much.

万座毛⇒パイナップルパーク⇒お菓子御殿⇒古宇利島⇒美ら海水族館の順で回りました
バスガイドさんの解説も面白かったです！ありがとうございました。

I finally went to the Snow Wall, but the weather was rainy. While the weather can't be helped, it was full of foreigners speaking various languages, and the snow walls were covered in graffiti. The most disappointing thing was probably that there was also Japanese writing.

念願の雪の大谷に行きましたが、天候は雨。天候はしょうがないにしても、外人だらけでいろんな国の言葉で、雪壁は落書きだらけでした。最も残念なのは日本語もあったことでしょうか。

I haven't actually been there myself, but I made a reservation for my parents. They were happy to go to the places they wanted without any confusion. It was also great that the schedule was manageable and they seemed to enjoy each sightseeing spot.

実際に私は行っていませんが、親の為に予約しました。本人達も行きたい所へ迷わず行けて喜んでいました。またスケジュールにも無理がなく各観光地を楽しめたようで良かったです。
