All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

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.

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。

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!~

Had a great tour with a private chartered taxi. Our driver-guide Taka was very helpful, friendly, accommodating, and funny. We are very happy to be with his company and we hope to meet him again in the future of our Japan trips.

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！！！

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。

This tour was exceptional in that it was possible to select and change the itinerary as the day progressed. The tour guide spoke good English, was knowledgeable about the places we visited, and was happy and adept at discovering additional places to visit to fit our interests. In addition, the driver also spoke good English, drove well and safely, and also was helpful in support of the guide. We also had a very nice lunch in a beautiful and peaceful restaurant. All in all, this was without doubt the best tour we had in Japan.
The tour comprised a married couple and a friend - all fairly elderly, but the guide made sure we were able to see all the important sight seeing aspects of the tour.

We were picked up from a nearby hotel to our own hotel. we were picked up with a bus which goes to our actual transport bus. There were around 3 or four busses which were to same direction to mount FUJI all together 100 people only from the same company which is GRAY LINE.
First stop was mount Fuji 4th station. (We were told that 5th station was closed due to weather conditions, which is OK) however the problem was to enter 4th station it took 40 minutes, as I believe there were many other tours.
Super crowded, people were on top of each other to take pictures of Fuji view. The queue in front of the toilet was long impossible to use.
Indeed we were only given 20 minutes in the area.
By the time you get off and on the bus is already a lot of time passed.
After that next station was lunch break, it was given only 30 minutes, which I am glad we requested no lunch as well.
When we goy on the boat on lake Ashi, there was no place to sit down, boat was overcrowded obviously we stood indoors.
Overall I wanted to see mount FUJI close by which was done.
But it was rushed and very crowded. Tour guide was robotic overall no enthusiasm.
If you are OK with such tight schedule and dont mind being rushed everywhere it is alright.
I believe these kind of tours have a limited quota and not oversold just for money.
End of the day it was over 100 dollars per person still with no lunch.
You might better do the tour by yourself or pay more and find a private kinda tour.

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。

Higashi is my Chinese-speaking Japanese born private
tour guide and having worked in China for many years, he is a gem that could give us Japanese culture and yet be able to relate to us - we are a Singaporean family (I was with my 70 year old mother and 2 sisters). He paced the entire trip nicely taking into account our speed, to the extent of serving our food needs and even accompany us to shopping to wherever we want and with such patience for a man! Encourage all to book him!

东谦一是我们的日本长大又能说中文的私人导游。他在中国工作了很多年，所以美好的融合了日本传统又能够跟我们的文化接近。由于我带了70岁的妈妈和两个妹妹，他完美得随我们的步伐导游，恰到好处。他更帮我们照顾周到， 餐饮和购物都随我们一起走，帮我们翻译，难能可贵的一个导游。大家请指定他为你的导游!

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。

This tour was wonderful! I think the only downfall was because the weather was overcast so didn't get to see really good majestic pictures of Mt. Fuji but no fault of anyone but nature. LOL. The tour guide was very well versed in knowing all there was about cities, history, and spoke pretty good English. Everything went very smoothly and the traditional Japanese style lunch they planned was also right on point. I ate my very first and famously known black hard boiled egg straight from the site itself. Looking forward to the next trip and more planning through Veltra. Use Veltra as well as they seem to have more variety when all the other sites were all sold out, instant confirmations on most and a bit cheaper too. All bonuses!!

Thank you again, team, Veltra

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。

Staff service was very good even prior to the start of the tour. At pickup point staff made sure we were at the right tour and everyone was on board. On the actual tour bus the guide talk about the different sights in Tokyo city before we got out of the city, and through out the drive to Mt. Fuji provide us with various cultural and scenic information. We had a good view of Mt Fuji, even though we did not get to the 5th Station. The ropeway ride was also good and well guide but the tour guide to make sure we got on board. The disappointing part was the boat ride on Lake Ashi - since our tour was part of a larger group of people, too many in our opinion as we had no place to sit down and had to stand in several crowded areas until we reach the other side. So we had no commentary about the Lake and it surrounds, so basically it was just a ferry ride to the other side of the lake. The guide look after us during lunch and had a place for us to sit even though we did not get a lunch package, and finally made sure we got the the Odawara Station OK and directed us to the correct train and platform.

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。

It rained in the morning, and my heart felt a little... We embarked on a long-awaited project to experience the heart power of the Wilson tree. We are filled with gratitude for our guide, who quietly guided us despite our noisy group. We took happy photos with the Wilson tree. The guide was considerate, helping us appreciate the Jomon cedar and the Great Cedar, and taught us about their history. We learned about the names and origins of the plants, and it was quite enlightening.

The tips on climbing and how to equip ourselves were eye-opening, and the love for Yakushima was abundant. Thank you very much.

I would like to use your services again.

朝から雨、心は、ちょっと‥
ウィルソン株の、ハートパワーを頂きに三年越しの企画出発。ガヤガヤうるさい私達に静かにガイドをしてくださってガイドさんに感謝でいっぱいです。ウィルソン株と私達にハッピーな写真を撮って頂きました。縄文杉や大王杉感動出来るよう気を使ってくれたり、歴史を教えてもらいました。植物の名前や由来なども、えーはーそうなんだーとまあ

登山の心得や、装備の仕方も目からウロコ、そして屋久島愛が満載ですね。
本当にありがとうございました。

また利用させてください。

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。

We had a great trip to Mt Fuji and Hakona day trip. The guide was absolotley the best guide we ever had in our life.
Recomend it very much

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。

The panoramic photo taken at Wilson's stock is amazing.

I walked for a long time, but it was fun.

I was happy with the hospitality of the miso soup for lunch.

ウィルソン株で 撮影してくれたパノラマ写真最高です

長時間歩きましたが 楽しかったです

ランチの味噌汁のおもてなし うれしかったです

It was a great bus tour for those who can't drive or don't have a license. I think it's very good because we were able to visit many places for the price!

車を運転できない人免許がない人にはとてもいいバスツアーでした。
価格以上のいろんな所にまわれてとてもいいとおもいます！
