All Reviews for Bus Tours

At the first Fushimi Inari Taisha, I mistakenly went towards the mountain instead of returning, and I had to turn back halfway to make it in time for the meeting. At the next stop, Kiyomizu-dera, there were so many people that it took a long time just to stand in line to buy something, and I was cutting it close for the meeting time. However, at Kinkaku-ji, I ended up having quite a bit of extra time, and I wished I could have had a little more time at other places as well.

But overall, I am very satisfied. The guide was kind and friendly, which was great.

最初の伏見稲荷大社では、戻るところを間違えて山の方に行ってしまい、途中で引き返してなんとか集合時間に間に合いました。次の清水寺でも、ものすごい人で、買い物一つにもレジに並ぶのに時間がかかってしまい、集合時間ギリギリに。そのあとの金閣寺では逆に随分と時間が余ってしまって、他のところでもう少し時間の余裕が持てたらなーと思いました。
でも全体的にはとても満足です。ガイド様も親切で気さくで良かったです。

This is a bus tour that takes you around the sightseeing spots of Ishigaki Island. The guide introduced folk songs while playing the sanshin. You can get off at Naha Airport, making it an efficient bus tour.

石垣島の観光名所を巡るバスツアーです。
ガイドさんは、三線を演奏しながら民謡を紹介してくれました。
那覇空港で降車でき、効率よいバスツアーでした。

The staff at the reception desk were friendly and provided kind assistance. Thanks to them, the last day turned out to be a fun trip. The tour was enjoyable as well. I didn't have enough time to see everything on Yufu Island, but I would like to come back and explore it more leisurely. I also want to participate in other tours.

窓口受付の方の感じが良く、親切に対応してくださいました。そのおかげで最終日楽しい旅行になりました。ツアーも楽しかったです。由布島、時間が足りなくて全部見れなかったけれど、またゆっくり来たいと思います。他のツアーも参加したいと思いました。

It had been about 40 years since my last visit to Nagasaki during my high school trip. Even with limited time on this two-night, three-day trip, I wanted to make sure to visit the main tourist spots, so I joined this tour.

The guide and the driver were very pleasant and accommodating. During the bus ride, we were able to listen to local songs sung by the guide, which became a wonderful memory.

Most of the participants, including myself, were seniors, but the time management was reasonable, and it was physically comfortable. The view of Nagasaki Port from Glover Garden was so beautiful that I lost track of time and just wanted to keep looking at it.

As soon as I got home, I found myself wanting to visit Nagasaki again. I definitely hope to join the next tour as well.

Thank you very much.

高校の修学旅行以来、約40年振りの長崎でした。二泊三日と時間が限られている中でも主だった観光地は是非観光したいと思い、当ツアーに参加しました。
ガイドさんと運転手さんには、とても感じ良く対応して頂きました。バスの中ではガイドさんによる地元由来の歌も拝聴出来、良い思い出となりました。
私も含めて参加者はシニアの方が殆どでしたが、時間配分にも無理がなく体力的にも楽でした。グラバー園から望む長崎港の眺めは、時間が経つのも忘れてただずっと観ていたい程素敵でした。
帰宅早々又、長崎旅行に行きたくなりました。次回のツアーも是非お願いしたいと思っております。
ありがとうございました。

It was a very fulfilling tour that allowed us to explore the highlights of Sapporo in just one day! We really enjoyed Sapporo. The guide was very entertaining and considerate, and the driver was kind, making for a very satisfying experience.

札幌の見どころを1日で周るとても充実したツアーでした！札幌満喫です。
ガイドさんもとても面白くてお気遣いがあり、運転手さんも優しく大満足でした。

Everyone except us was from abroad, so I was initially anxious, but thanks to our guide, ASUKA, my son and I had a very enjoyable trip. The guide knew many delicious places, so we were able to visit restaurants that we wouldn't have been able to go to on our own, such as for sweet potato fries and scallop fried rice. Feeding the bears at the bear ranch was also fun. Thank you for the wonderful trip!

私たち以外は全員外国の方とのことで、初めは不安でしたが、ガイドのASUKAさんのおかげで息子共々とても楽しい旅になりました。ガイドさんが美味しい店をたくさんご存知でしたので、あげいもやホタテチャーハンなど個人旅では行けないようなお店に行くことが出来ました。熊牧場でのエヤやりも楽しかったです。楽しい旅をありがとうございました！

I was able to spend a relaxing time in Mishima! The weather was great, and I could also listen to the sanshin while riding the water buffalo cart! It was a luxurious day and I had a lot of fun, but if I had to be picky, I wish I had about 30 more minutes to buy souvenirs on Iriomote Island at the end.

三島ともゆっくりと過ごすことが出来ました！天気にも恵まれ、水牛車では三線も聞くことができました！
贅沢な1日で楽しかったですが、欲を言えば、西表島で最後にお土産を買う時間がなかったので、30分くらいあれば良かったかなぁ。

The weather was nice, and the boat didn't sway, allowing us to enjoy sightseeing. The mangroves of Iriomote were beautiful, and we had a relaxing time on the water buffalo cart to Yubu Island, making the island exploration a delightful experience. The water buffalo cart on Taketomi Island was also good, but the distance was short, and it ended quickly, so I wish I had chosen the bicycle plan instead. Overall, it was a fun day!

天気も良く船も揺れずに楽しく観光できました。西表のマングローブも綺麗に見れて由布島への水牛車ものんびりと過ごすことができて島の散策も楽しい時間でした。竹富島の水牛車も良かったですが距離が短くすぐ終わってしまったので自転車プランにしておけばよかったです。全体的に楽しい1日でした

The limestone cave and the beautiful scenery at Kabira Bay were great, and both the driver and guide were kind. It was unfortunate that the glass boat at Kabira Bay was canceled due to strong winds, so I couldn't ride it, but the views were beautiful. Also, it was disappointing that the guide didn't perform the sanshin or songs and dances that I had seen in other people's posts. However, the guidance was solid.

鍾乳洞、川平湾と綺麗な景色が見れて運転手さんガイドさんも親切でよかったです。川平湾のグラスボートが強風のため欠航で乗れなかったのが残念でしたが、景色は綺麗でした。あと他の人の投稿であったガイドさんの三線や歌踊りなどがなかったのが残念でした。ガイドはしっかりしてくれましたが。

In Gujo Hachiman, we were guided through the old streets and cultural sites (those who wanted to explore freely could disperse). In Hida Takayama, we had free time to explore (lunch on our own) while enjoying the streets and visiting Takayama Jinya, where we tried Hida beef sushi and gohei mochi. In Shirakawa-go, we had plenty of time to follow the recommended route from our guide, going up to the observation deck and visiting one of the houses. Our guide, Moe, did an excellent job. However, I deducted one star because I couldn't find the meeting place.

郡上八幡では、古い街並みと文化財をガイドさんに案内してもらい、（自由散策をしたい方は解散）飛騨高山は自由散策（各自昼食）で、街並みを眺めながら高山陣屋を訪れつつ、飛騨和牛のお寿司や五平餅を食べました。白川郷では、ガイドさんおすすめのルートをぐるっとひと回り、展望台へ上ったり一軒見学するぐらいは充分時間がありました。ガイドのMoeさんの仕切りが大変良かったです。が、集合場所がわからなかったので星一つ減らしました。

I participated in a half-day tour of Sefa Utaki and the Gangala Valley. Since I don't have a car, the tour was very helpful for me, and the bus guide taught us a lot about Okinawa, which was great. The guide also explained about the Gangala Valley, and I enjoyed it, so I highly recommend it.

斎場御嶽とガンガラーの谷の半日ツアーに参加しました。
車がない私には半日では行けないので、ツアーはとても助かりましたし、
バスガイドさんも沖縄のことをいろいろ教えて下さり、とてもよかったです。
ガンガラーの谷もガイドさんが説明して下さり、楽しめたのでオススメです。

In the morning, they picked us up at the hotel, and we took a tour-exclusive boat to Iriomote Island. On the bus in Iriomote, the driver provided an entertaining guide, so we never got bored. The round trip to Yubu Island was accompanied by traditional island songs played on the sanshin while riding the water buffalo. On the way back, we all sang "Nada Sousou" together. It seems that the experience can vary depending on the water buffalo cart driver.

For lunch, there was a buffet. The pita bread filled with pork was incredibly delicious! We could also take commemorative photos with the water buffalo for free. If you like, you can buy a larger one, but I received a smaller one for free!

The Nakama River cruising lasts just under an hour, and there is a guide as well. On Taketomi Island, I decided not to rent a bicycle, but there was a sign at the port indicating rentals available on the day, so I was able to rent one! If you plan to go to the beach, it's better to have one.

You can choose from several return boat times. Once we arrived at the port, we could also choose the bus time to the hotel, so if you want to do some sightseeing, you can! I highly recommend it!

朝ホテルに迎えにきてくれて、
ツアー専用の船で西表にいきます。
西表のバスではドライバーが楽しいガイドもしてくれて、飽きません。
由布島への往復の水牛も三線で島唄つき
帰りはいっしょに歌いましょうとなだそうそうをみんなで歌いました。これは水牛車の引き手さんによっても違うようです。
お昼はビュッフェ式です。ピタパンに豚肉をいれてそれがすごく美味しかった！
水牛との記念写真もただでとれます。
気に入れば大きいのを買いますが、小さいのはもらいました❗️
仲間川クルージングは一時間弱ですが、ガイドもあります。
竹富島では自転車なしにしましたが、港に当日借りの看板があり、借りることができました！浜にいくなら、あったほうかよいです。
帰りの船の時間もいくつかから選べます。
港についたら、ホテルへのバスの時間も選べるので、観光もしようと思ったらできます！おススメです❗️

A classic island-hopping tour around Ishigaki Island includes a round trip on a water buffalo cart from Iriomote Island to Yufu Island, a mangrove cruise on the Nakama River, and free time on Taketomi Island. The ferry, sightseeing bus, and lunch were all efficiently arranged. I had booked accommodation on Taketomi Island, so I disembarked at Taketomi Port, but I appreciated the flexibility of being able to explore as much as possible in a short amount of time, which is great for someone traveling alone and wanting to see various sights.

The trip from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island and Taketomi Island was on the tour operator's own boat, the Super Dream, which provided a spacious and comfortable journey. The staff at the port were also very kind and provided thorough explanations during the check-in process.

西表島〜由布島へ水牛車で往復、マングローブ群生の仲間川遊覧、竹富島でのフリータイムという石垣島周辺の離島巡りの定番ですが、渡船〜観光バス〜昼食が効率よくうまく手配されていました。私は竹富島で宿を取っていたので竹富港で離団しましたが、こういう融通がきくところも一人旅でも出来るだけ色々見てみたいという欲張りには短い時間を十分に観光に使えありがたかったです。

石垣島〜西表島〜竹富島は、ツアー催行会社(石垣島ドリーム観光)の持ち船スーパードリーム号で、大きく居心地の良い船旅でした。また港での受付も丁寧な説明で係の方々も親切でした。

The content of the tour was good, but it was disappointing to find out after getting on the bus that we couldn't ride the lift at the jump site due to a competition being held. At the Hitsujigaoka Observation Hill, we had to delay our departure to consider the crowd for taking photos, and due to traffic congestion, we arrived at Sapporo Station 30 minutes later than planned, which made us late for our next schedule. It was just one of those days. Thank you to the driver and the guide. 😌

ツアーの内容はよかったのですが
当日バスに乗車してからジャンプ場で大会開催のためリフトに乗れないとわかり残念でした。
羊ヶ丘展望台では写真を撮る混み具合を考慮し出発を遅らせる対応があったのと交通渋滞のため予定より30分遅れの札幌駅着となったため次の予定に間に合わなかったのが残念でした。そういうご縁の日でしたね。運転手さん、ガイドさん、ありがとうございました😌

I came to Ishigaki Island and, since I was here, I wanted to explore other islands in the Yaeyama region, so I signed up for this three-island tour. We took a boat to explore the mangrove forests of Iriomote Island, rode a water buffalo cart for 400 meters to Yubu Island, where we were soothed by subtropical plants, enjoyed a buffet lunch featuring Okinawan cuisine, and then moved on to Taketomi Island. Here, we also rode a water buffalo cart and spent a leisurely time admiring the red-tiled roofs. During the ride, our guide played the sanshin and sang Okinawan songs, making me feel like I was truly in Okinawa. The entire course included explanations, allowing us to learn many things that we wouldn't have known just by exploring on our own, making it a satisfying tour.

石垣島旅行に来、せっかくなので八重山の他の島も巡ってみたいと思い、この3島ツアーに申し込みました。ボートでの西表島のマングローブ林巡り、400m水牛車に乗って由布島(ゆぶじま)に渡り、亜熱帯植物に癒され、沖縄ごはんのブュッフェランチをとり、竹富島に移動。ここでも水牛車に乗って赤瓦の屋根屋根を眺めつつゆっくりとした時間を過ごせました。水牛車ではガイドの方が三線を弾きながら沖縄の歌を歌ってくださり、沖縄に来た～と思えます。コース全てに渡って解説がつくので、個人で巡るだけでは知ることの出来ないことをたくさん学べたりもでき、満足なツアーでした

I was very satisfied with how efficiently we were able to visit many places. Aside from the three of us, everyone else was from abroad (including the guide and the driver), but it was a completely comfortable day trip bus tour. Thank you again!

たくさんの場所を効率よく回れて大満足でした。
私たち3人以外は外国の方ばかりでしたが（ガイドさんとドライバーさんも）全く快適な日帰りバスツアーでした。
またよろしくお願いします。

I was able to sightsee at just the right time. It was easier than going around by myself. I had lunch at a restaurant with a great view. It was convenient to get dropped off at the airport.

丁度よい時間で観光できました。自力で巡るより楽ちん。景色のよいレストランでランチ。空港で下車できて便利でした。

The highlight of this tour was definitely the mangrove cruise in Iriomote Island, which was fantastic. I was impressed by the guide's explanations and assistance. I recorded the shamisen performance on the water buffalo cart, so I'll be listening to it again and again. For Taketomi Island, I chose the bus tour, which made it easy to explore various places, and it was perfect for older travelers.

このツアー最大の期待だった西表島マングローブクルーズがとっても良かった。ガイドさんの説明や対応も感動しました。水牛車の三味線演奏も動画撮影したのでちょくちょく聴き直します。竹富島はバスツアーを選んだで楽に色々廻れて年配者にには最高でした。

I finally went to Takachiho, a place I've wanted to visit for a long time. The beautiful scenery left me speechless. I had an amazing time. The guide was also unique and explained everything clearly, which was great.

ずっと行きたかった高千穂に行ってきました。綺麗な景色に感無量でした。最高に楽しかったです。ガイドさんも、ユニークな方で説明もわかりやすく良かったです。

Yō-san, our guide, is a wonderful woman who is a super bilingual in Japanese, English, and Chinese. She taught us about Takachiho Gorge, the myths of the gods, and Mount Aso in three languages to about 40 participants from America, Indonesia, China, and us four Japanese. She really knows her stuff. Thanks to Yō-san, it was a fun tour. I am grateful. Places like Takachiho Gorge are not easy to visit. I think it's a good idea to participate in tours like this.

ガイドのようーさんは日本語、英語そして中国語を操る超バイリンガルの素敵な女性です。彼女は当日の参加者アメリカ、インドネシア、中国そして私達日本人４人合わせて40人位に３言語で高千穂峡について、神々の神話、阿蘇山等よ〜〜く教えてくれました。本当に勉強なさってます。ようーさんのおかげで楽しいツアーとなりました。感謝しています。高千穂峡のような場所はなかなかいけないような場所です。このようなツアーに参加すると良いと思います。

The weather was favorable, and the Sefa Utaki was very mystical. Participating in the Ganga-lar Valley while listening to the guide's stories made for a very enjoyable hike. On the last day of my trip to Okinawa, the half-day tour was very meaningful, and I was extremely satisfied.

天気にも恵まれ、斎場御嶽はとても神秘的で、ガイドさんの話を聞きながら参加するガンガラーの谷は、とても楽しくハイキングできました。
沖縄旅行の最終日で、半日ツアーはとても有意義に過ごすことができ、大満足です。

I was able to efficiently explore Sapporo without having to wander around with my luggage, which was great. However, there was construction in front of Sapporo Station, and even though I arrived more than 30 minutes early, I panicked because I couldn't find the bus stop.

札幌を効率よくスッと回れて、荷物持ってウロウロしなくて良かったので、とても良かったです。
ただ、札幌駅前工事中で、30分以上前に来ていたのですが、バス乗り場がわからなくて焦りました。

Yubu Island and Taketomi Island both had plenty of free time for independent activities, which allowed for a personal experience that was fantastic. The photos taken with the cows turned out to be unexpectedly wonderful, and I couldn't help but purchase them.

由布島も竹富島も自由行動時間がたっぷりで、自分なりの体験が出来、最高でした。
牛と一緒に撮った写真が思いのほか素敵で…思わず購入しました。

The tour was refreshing and enjoyable since everyone except for three Japanese people were foreigners. The tour guide, Kousei, spoke English and Japanese clearly and understandably, which was great. We were able to visit only the sightseeing spots we wanted without any waste of time.

ツアーは3組の日本人以外は全て外国の方だったので、とても新鮮で楽しかったです。ツアーガイドkouseiさんの英語、日本語のガイドも聞きやすく、わかりやすく良かったです。行きたい観光スポットだけを無駄なく回れました。

This time, we traveled with about 20 people, including some from the Chinese community, two Australians, and three Japanese, in a microbus. The guide and driver was a kind and attentive person who was bilingual in Japanese and Chinese, and occasionally spoke English as well. They were reliable, well-organized, and we enjoyed the entire trip without any delays.

The weather in Itoshima was nice, with gentle winds, making it a pleasant climate as long as you had a light jacket. The ladies in their fifties enjoyed looking at the swings and play equipment set up on the sandy beach (laughs). Before going to Ichiran Forest, I thought I wouldn’t need to eat ramen, but since I was hungry, I decided to try it. I bought a meal ticket and filled out a paper at my seat with my preferences for noodle firmness, green onions, garlic, and spiciness to place my order. There are actual stores in Nakasu and Hakata, but I had never been there or tried the food. I thought ordering would be complicated, but thanks to the guide's explanation, I was able to order confidently and enjoy the meal. It was a great experience.

The roadside station in Munakata had many products even though it was early afternoon, and I was excited to shop! The grilled mackerel sushi was delicious, especially the one with grilled mackerel and minced fish. I highly recommend it!

I had seen photos of the Miyajidake Shrine, but when I actually climbed the stairs and looked back, I was surprised by the straight view of the sea. The distance appeared hazy, creating a mysterious feeling as if it went on forever.

On the way back, there was a bit of traffic on the urban expressway, but we arrived smoothly at Hakata Station. It was a tour that I’m glad I went on. I hope to create opportunities to enjoy different courses in the future. Thank you to the guide and driver for accompanying us!

今回は中華系の方々とオーストラリアの方2名と日本人3名総勢20名位でマイクロバスで巡りました。ガイド兼ドライバーの方は親切丁寧な方で日中バイリンガル時々英語のトリリンガルで対応されてて頼もしくて、段取りが良く全工程が遅延もなく楽しめました。

糸島は天気も良く風もあまり強くなく上着があれば過ごせるいい気候でした♪
アラカン女子は砂浜に設置のブランコやらの遊具は見て楽しんでいました（笑）
一蘭の森は行く前はラーメン食べなくてもいいやと思ってましたが、お腹が空いてたので食べてみることにしまして食券を買い席で紙に麺の硬さにネギにニンニク辛味など記入してオーダー
中洲や博多にも実店舗はありますが、行ったことがなく食べたこともありませんでした。ましてやオーダーがめんどそうと思てました。今回はガイドさんの説明もあり安心してオーダーができ食べることができました。
いい経験になりました。

宗像の道の駅は昼過ぎでしたが商品も沢山あり買い物にテンションが上がりました♪焼き鯖寿司が美味しくて焼きサバとソボロ状のが入ったものが絶品です。ぜひぜひおすすめです♪

宮地嶽神社は写真などで見てましたが実際階段を登り振り返ると海まで一直線の景色にびっくりします、先は霞んで見えましたので永遠に続きそうな不思議な感覚になりました。

帰りは都市高速で少し渋滞していましたがスムーズに博多駅へ到着しました。
行ってよかったと思うツアーでした。機会を作って違うコースも堪能したいと思います。
同行の方々にガイド兼ドライバーの方ありがとうございました♪

I spent a day exploring the northern part of Okinawa, and although we couldn't spend much time at each location, it was enjoyable. However, it was unfortunate that we couldn't have lunch due to the limited time at the tourist spots. I had heard comments suggesting that it would have been better to buy rice balls and drinks to eat on the bus, and I wish I had done that.

沖縄北部を1日かけて、観光できるため、個々の場所が時間かけれないけど楽しかったです。
ですが、観光地で限られた時間のため、昼食は取れないのが、残念でした。おむすびと飲み物を買ってからバスで食べる方が良いとコメントがあったため、そのようにすれば良かったな。

Recently, it was rare to have snow, and I was able to see the snowy scenery of Shirakawa-go. Since I had plenty of time, I was able to fully enjoy the highlights. The lunch was delicious, and Gokayama was also great.

What made this bus tour so good was definitely thanks to the tour guide.

Thanks to their precise recommendations and efficient advice on how to get around, I was able to manage my time well and enjoy all the sightseeing without missing anything. The explanations on the bus, which included some English, were witty and everyone was able to listen to them with enjoyment.

I would definitely like to request this again on my next opportunity. Thank you very much.

最近では珍しく雪が降って、雪景色の白川郷を見る事が出来ました。
時間もゆとりがあったので、見どころを満喫できました。
昼食も美味しく、五箇山も良かったです。

今回のバスツアーが良かったのは、なんと言っても添乗員さんのおかげです。

おすすめポイントや効率よくまわるアドバイスが的確だったおかげで、うまく時間配分も出来て漏れなく観光出来ました。
英語を交えたバス内の説明もウィットにとんでいて、全員楽しく話を聞けました。

次の機会も、またぜひお願いしたいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

The journey always begins by taking a sightseeing bus to get a grasp of the layout of the area. The local guide's stories were enjoyable, making for a fulfilling bus tour. The optional glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay offers a discount for bus tour participants, and it's definitely something you should experience.

旅の始まりはいつも周遊のバスに乗り位置関係を掌握します。
地元のガイドさんのお話が楽しく、充実したバスツアーでした。
オプションの川平湾グラスボートは、バスツアー割引が有り絶対乗るべきです。

I was able to efficiently visit the islands. I rented a bicycle, but it seemed like the frame was bent, making it very difficult to ride and unstable. Since it had been decades since I last rode a bike, I initially thought it was just because I wasn't used to it. However, upon reflection, I realized that the handlebar setup and seat angle were in very poor condition. I regret not asking for a change right from the start.

非常に効率よく島々を廻れました。
レンタサイクルを借りましたが、フレームが曲がっているようで非常に乗りにくく安定した走りが出来ず苦労しました。
何十年ぶりに自転車に乗ったので、初めは慣れていないからかな？と思っていましたが冷静に考えてみるとハンドルのセッティング・座席の角度等非常に整備業況が悪いです。
最初に変更を望めば良かったと反省しきりです。

It was my first time in Ishigaki Island, and traveling while listening to the guide's stories was very informative. I'm glad I participated.

初めての石垣島でしたので、ガイドさんのお話を聞きながらの旅は、知ること多くて参加してよかったです。
