All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

On a nearly full bus with foreigners, I was the only Japanese person, but the tour guide was considerate and provided guidance in both English and Japanese.

I live in Nagoya and don't know much about Kyoto, but when my foreign friend came to Japan and expressed a desire to visit Kyoto, I searched for a course to help us navigate. We were able to visit various places, and my friend was very satisfied, which was great. I recommend it!

ほぼ満席のバスで外国人の中、私1人が日本人でしたが、添乗員さんは気を使ってくれて、英語と日本語で案内してくれました。

自分が名古屋に住んでいて京都の事はよくわからないのに、外国人の友達が日本に来て、京都にいきたいと言われ、どうやって回ろうか考えていた時に探したコースです。
いろいろ場所にいけて、友達も満足してくれてとても良かったです。

I went to the meeting place for the bus tour and when I announced my name, it wasn't on the list. While the tour company was checking, I was left waiting in the rain and couldn't get on the bus. Eventually, I was allowed on, but there were no seats available, and I was made to sit in the front row where I couldn't stretch my legs, which was very painful for me since I have a knee injury. I was glad I brought the voucher, but I can't help but wonder what would have happened if I hadn't, since it said, "Submission of the voucher to the local operating company is not required."

This time, since it was in Japan, I could communicate, but I shudder to think what would have happened if it were overseas. I had a good experience with your company in Bangkok and Phuket, and my wife was happy, so I requested your services again, but I was disappointed.

The good thing was that the bus guide was very considerate, and the sight of the whale sharks and manta rays at the Churaumi Aquarium was magnificent. Next time, I will be going to Vietnam during Golden Week, and I plan to rely on your company again. Please ensure there are no troubles.

バスツアーの待ち合わせ場所に行き名前を告げると名簿になく、ツアー会社に問い合わせ中、バスの中に入れてもらえず雨の中待たされるはめになったり、ようやく乗せてもらえることになったが、席がなく普段座らせない足が延ばせない一番前の席に座らせれ、膝を痛めている私にとって大変苦痛でした、バウチャーを持って行ったから良かったけれど、「現地催行会社へのバウチャー提出は不要です」と持って行かなかったどうなっていたか。
今回、日本だったから言葉が通じたが、これが海外だったらと思うとゾッとします。御社とは、バンコクやプーケットでお世話になり妻も喜んでくれたので今回もお願いしたのですががっかりでした。
良かった事は、バスガイドが大変気遣って頂いた事と美ら海水族館のジンベイザメやマンタの水槽の壮観さ素晴らしいものでした。
次回、ＧＷにベトナムに行きます、また御社にお世話になろうと思います、トラブル無いように宜しく

I stayed in Kanazawa for two nights, so I participated in this tour for one day. Half of the participants were foreigners.

In Shirakawa-go, I enjoyed the snow, and the tour guide informed us that we could use the hot spring at the lunch hotel, so I took a bath. The temperature was just right, and the water was soft, which warmed my chilled body and added an extra layer of enjoyment.

Although I participated alone, I was able to use two seats on the bus, allowing me to relax comfortably. I think it was great since it's not easy to go alone.

金沢に二泊だったので１日を使って参加しました。半数は外国の方でした。
白川郷では雪も楽しみ　添乗員さんが昼食ホテルで温泉に入れることを教えてくれたので入浴してきました。温度も良く、お湯も柔らかく、冷えた体も温まりプラスアルファの楽しみもできました。
一人参加でしたがバスでは２席を一人で利用でき、ゆったり過ごせました。
なかなか一人では行かれないので、良かったと思います。

I had a great time. The guide was very good at chatting and even performed some island songs. Thank you, Water Buffalo Island-kun.

とても楽しめました。案内人の方もおしゃべりが上手で島唄も披露してくれました。水牛の島君、ありがとう。

I took a two-night, three-day solo trip from Fukuoka. I wanted to explore various places in a limited time, but I couldn't drive, so I was worried about what to do until I found this plan! I was the only woman participating, but there were other solo travelers as well. The bus rides were comfortable, and I enjoyed the scenery or took the time to sleep during the journey. At the hotel, a table was prepared for me for lunch, allowing me to enjoy my meal without any hesitation.

The main focus of my trip to Hokkaido was to visit Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya, but it would have been difficult for me to do that alone due to the cold and the snow. We departed from Sapporo, but I learned that we could stop at Jozankei Onsen on the way back, so I stayed at a hotel in Jozankei. The driver and the guide provided subtle support, making for a very comfortable trip.

福岡からの二泊三日ひとり旅でした。限られた時間で色々周りたい、でも車の運転はできないし、どうしようと悩んでた所にこちらのプランを見つけました！
私は女性ひとりの参加でしたが、他にもお一人様がいらっしゃいました。バスでの移動は快適で、移動中は景色を楽しんだり、睡眠に当てたり。ホテルでの昼食は、ひとり用にテーブルが用意され、気兼ねなく食事を楽しむ事ができました。
私の北海道旅行のメインは支笏湖、洞爺湖を訪れる事でしたが、寒いし、雪の影響で1人では難しかったと思います。
出発は札幌でしたが、帰りは定山渓温泉で途中下車できるとわかり、定山渓のホテルに泊まりました。
運転手さん、ガイドさんがさりげなくサポートして下さり、とても快適な旅になりました。

It was a multilingual tour that was almost full, but there were only four Japanese participants. We joined as a pair, but everyone was quite quiet, and I didn't realize there were other Japanese participants until the end. There were unavoidable delays due to icy road conditions. It was disappointing that the lunch was cold, even the rice. I regretted skipping the hot spring because I was worried about getting cold, but it turned out to be a good decision. I ended up catching a fever after the trip due to fatigue from the cold.

ほぼ満席の多言語対応ツアーでしたが参加日本人4名。
こちらは2名で参加しましたが皆さん結構静かで他の日本人の方最後まで分かりませんでした。
アイスバーンの道路状態で仕方のない遅延があったのですが。昼食が
ごはんまで冷えていたのは残念でした。
湯冷めが怖かったので温泉はパスしてしまったのが残念でしたが。
やめておいてよかったです。寒さ疲れして旅行後熱だしましたから。

I was able to travel to Shirakawa-go on a budget for a solo trip. I had been there once in November on a group tour, and there was no snow at that time. I don't get many opportunities to go, but I wanted to see the snowy scenery again, so I went on my own. I was surprised to see so many foreigners. Unfortunately, the snow was piled up along the roadside and looked a bit dirty. I would like to go again during the heavy snowfall in January or February.

一人旅行のため、格安で白川郷に行けました。11月に一度団体旅行で行ったことがあり、まだ雪が積もっていませんでした。なかなか行く機会がありませんが、もう一度雪景色が見たくて、ひとり気ままに行きました。外国人がたくさんいることにびっくり。雪も道端に山積み薄汚れていて、残念でした。また、1月か2月の大雪の時に行きたいです。

I rode a water buffalo cart on Taketomi Island and then enjoyed some free exploration. Everything on the island, from the buildings and roads to the flowers and water buffalo carts, was beautiful, allowing me to fully enjoy the tropical atmosphere. The only regret was that the weather was cloudy, and I imagined a blue sky with white clouds while sightseeing. Also, we changed the meeting time about three days before the tour, but the process was smooth, which was very helpful. Thank you very much.

竹富島の水牛車に乗りその後、自由散策してきました。島内は建物、道路、花等植物、水牛車等すべてが美しく南国を満喫しました。
お天気だけが曇っていて心残りで、青い空に白い雲を想像しながら観光しました。
また観光の３日前ぐらいに集合時間の変更をしましたが手続きもスムーズで大変助かりました。ありがとうございました。

Very good service from Japan Gray Line; a customer service representative was at the meeting point (hotel) to welcome and to get us on the bus.
The tour is very good and really highlights what to see and to do in Tokyo, leading to exploring on own more areas in the following days, should time allows. The guides provide good explanation of the areas toured, and would go the extra mile to satisfy the customer beyond the basic service of the tour, to include attending to personal requests from the customer.
Overall good job, making a day we very much enjoyed.

It was quite hot, reaching nearly 30 degrees for this time of year. The mangrove cruise was combined with other tours. The water buffalo cart ride was nice and had a charming atmosphere. The cycling option on Taketomi Island wasn't bad, but the hills were quite tough. Depending on the day's temperature, I think those who usually ride electric bikes should consider paying the extra fee to rent one. I was sweating a lot!

この時期としては30度近くまで気温が上がり、暑かったです。マングローブクルーズは他のツアーと一緒でした。水牛車は風情を感じられて良かったです。竹富島のサイクリング選択は悪くなかったですが…坂道が結構辛かったです。その日の気温にもよりますが普段、電動自転車に乗っている方は追加料金を払っても電動自転車を借りた方が良かったと思います。私は大汗かきました(^^ゞ(^^ゞ

The orchid greenhouse at Tropical Dream Land captivated me with its scale and grandeur, surpassing that of the orchid gardens in Chiang Mai, Thailand. At the same time, I was delighted to see rare fruit varieties in the tropical fruit corner that I had not encountered during my previous visits to Malaysia, Ho Chi Minh City, and Taiwan.

At American Village, I enjoyed a chicken burger set at A&W, which was recommended by my guide. When it comes to American hamburgers, I've eaten at McDonald's, Burger King, Wimpy, and Dairy Queen, but the burgers from this chain had a unique flavor that reminded me of the ones I had in mainland America. After returning home, I researched this burger chain and found out that it started in mainland America nearly a hundred years ago and has been operating exclusively in Okinawa, Japan, for over 50 years. It was a burger of surprisingly high quality.

熱帯ドリームランドのランの温室は、タイのチェンマイのラン園を凌ぐ規模と迫力に魅了された。同時に南国の果実のコーナーでは、かつて訪問したマレーシア、ホーチミン、台湾で見かけなかった珍しい果実種が鑑賞できたことは収穫でした。

アメリカンヴィレッジでは、ガイトに薦めてもらったA&Wでチキンバーガーセットを食しました。アメリカのハンバーガーと言えば、マクドナルド、バーガーキング、ウィンピー、デアリークィーンで食べましたが、このチェーン店のバーガーは一味違い、アメリカ本土で食べたバーガーを思い出させる味がしました。帰宅してからこのバーガーチェインを調べてみると、約百年前に米本土で始まり、日本では沖縄のみでの展開で50年以上となるとのことです。予想以上に質の良いバーガーでした。

Mr. Matsushita, who was our guide, driver, and caretaker (I'm sorry, I forgot your name), was wonderful! Despite the cold, I was healed by the snowy scenery of Shirakawa-go, the tranquil and picturesque views, and the delicious food. I had a fantastic time. Thank you! ♩
I have grown to love Hokuriku even more. Just as the driver mentioned, I definitely want to visit Shirakawa-go in early summer as well! Next time, I want to master the dialect and try speaking it.

ガイド兼ドライバー兼お世話役の松下さん(ごめんなさい、お名前失念しました)がとても素敵でした！寒い中ではありますが、白川郷の雪景色と、のどかで風情のある景色、おいしいごはんに癒されて、とても満喫できました。ありがとうございました♩
さらに北陸が好きになりました。ドライバーさんおっしゃっていた通り、初夏の白川郷もぜひ、行ってみたいです！今度は方言マスターして話してみたいです。

I participated in the tour on the afternoon I arrived in Ishigaki Island. I was able to efficiently visit the highlights of Ishigaki Island. The guide was easy to understand, and I think it was a great tour for the first day. It’s all a matter of luck, but I believe it would have been an even more wonderful day if the weather had been better.

石垣島に着いた日の午後に参加しました。
効率よく石垣島の見所を回ることができました。
ガイドさんも分かりやすく、初日にとてもいいツアーだと思います。
こればかりは運ですが、天候が良ければもっとステキな1日だったと思います。

I participated in a plan that allowed for a stop at the airport right on time for my flight on the last day of my trip. It was a warm guided tour by a precious male guide who played the sanshin. In winter, Ishigaki Island has few sunny days, and the chances of encountering the blue waters of Kabira Bay are low; it was rainy on the day of my visit, but it was still quite beautiful. I feel like I want to try again in the summer.

旅行最終日に飛行機の時間にぴったりに空港で途中下車もあるプランだったので参加しました。たったひとりの貴重な男性ガイドさんのあったかい三線付きの案内でした。冬は石垣島は晴れの日が少なく川平湾のブルーに出会うのには確率は低いそうで当日も雨でしたがそれなりに綺麗でした。夏に再チャレンジしたい感じです。

It was an outstanding experience to just not travel to Mount Fuji but getting essential and interesting information from the guide, Yoshi. Yoshi ensured and kept us entertained throughout the visits and I will definitely recommend fellow tourist to option for Yoshi.
It was timely pickup, sight seeing and exceeded expectations.

In December, it was 27 degrees, and the weather was warm enough to break a sweat even in short sleeves. I cruised upstream along the Nakama River in Iriomote Island, enjoying the refreshing breeze through the mangrove forest. Next, I took a water buffalo cart to Yubu Island. While gently swaying, I listened to island songs and felt relaxed. On the island, I explored freely, spending time picking up shells and coral on the beach where manta rays could be seen, and watching butterflies resting on beautiful flowers. Although it was just half a day, I had a fulfilling time.

12月なのに27度もあって、半袖でも汗ばむ気候。西表島の仲間川を、爽やかな風にあたりながらマングローブの林を上流へとクルージング。次は、水牛車で由布島へ。のんびりと揺られながら島唄を聞き、癒されました。島の中では自由散策で、マンタの見える浜で貝殻やサンゴを拾ったり、美しい花にとまる蝶を見たりして、時間を過ごしました。半日でしたが、充実した時間が過ごせました。

I wanted to change my departure from Osaka to disembark in Kyoto, and the prior inquiry was very polite and left a good impression. On the day of the tour, it was a Monday after a holiday, and everywhere was crowded, but we were able to move around very efficiently. In Arashiyama, we had free time to explore, but we were guided to the popular bamboo grove as requested. About 60% of the participants were international tourists, and after the English guidance, we also received instructions in Japanese, which made me feel like I was part of an overseas bus tour.

大阪発着を京都下車に変更したく、事前の問い合わせもとても丁寧で好感が持てました。
当日は、連休後の月曜日でどこも混雑していましたが、とても効率よく回れました。嵐山も自由散策ですが、リクエストの多い竹林までは案内していただけました。
参加者は６割ほどが訪日観光客で、英語の案内の後に日本語で案内をしていただき、海外のバスツアーに参加した気分も味わえましたよ。

This was a tour that efficiently guided us through the famous sites of Kiyomizu-dera, Kinkaku-ji, Fushimi Inari Taisha, and Arashiyama in Kyoto. I think it would be difficult to visit all these places in one day on your own. It's great that we could be taken to Kyoto without having to go there from Osaka.

What stands out is that we had the best guide. Their attention to detail and overall guidance were exceptional. In Arashiyama, they even called a taxi to run through the bamboo grove for my brother, who couldn't walk. I highly recommend this tour.

難しいと思います。大阪からの出発でわざわざ京都に行かなくても

おすすめのツアーです。

For my son, it was his first time, and my second visit to Okinawa's Churaumi Aquarium. It was a fun experience throughout, led by a knowledgeable bus guide who sang and danced. Everyone from various countries who participated in the tour came together to spend a meaningful day.

Last year, we rented a car and stayed overnight on the way to the Churaumi Aquarium. With skilled driving, we left at 8:20 AM and even with leisurely sightseeing and breaks, we were able to return to the meeting place an hour early at 5:30 PM, making for a rich and fulfilling time without feeling tired.

息子にとっては初めての、私は2回目の沖縄、美ら海水族館行きは、唄って 踊って 知識豊富なバスガイドさんのリードで 終始楽しく、ツアーに参加した色々な国からの 老若男女全員が ひとつになって過ごせた有意義な一日となりました。
昨年はレンタカーを借りて、途中で一泊して美ら海水族館に向かいましたが、上手な運転で、朝8:20に出発して、全てゆっくり見学、休憩しても、1時間早く5:30に集合場所に戻ることが出来て 疲れ知らずの濃厚なひとときとなりました。

Overall nice schedule.
Nice guide who tried to entertain us all time !
Various points to see and 3 of 5 were great, one was average, one was needless.
Lunch included was below average for Japan....

The course was to climb from Shiratani Unsuikyo to Taiko Rock and meet Jomon Sugi. We set off before sunrise and walked until dusk. We took breaks every two hours, having breakfast around 6 AM and lunch around 11 AM. The guide, a local, shared important points but didn't engage in unnecessary chatter, managing the pace well and leading us effectively. There were five of us in the party, and no one complained; we were able to trek in good spirits. The weather was great, and the view from Taiko Rock was amazing. Jomon Sugi felt divine, allowing us to sense the mysteries of nature. It was a valuable tour.

白谷雲水峡から太鼓岩を登って、縄文杉に会いに行くコースでした。
日が昇る前から出発、日が暮れるまで歩きました。2時間おきほどで休憩して朝食は6時ごろ、昼食は11時ごろ食べました。
ガイドさんは、地元の人で大事なポイントは教えてくれましたがあまり無駄話はせずペース配分を考えて、うまくリードしてくれたと思います。5人パーティでしたが誰も弱音は吐かず、気分良くトレッキング出来ました。
天候も良く、太鼓岩からの景色が最高でした。縄文杉も神々しく自然の神秘を感じることができました。価値あるツアーでした。

Shirakawa-go and Gokayama Full Day Tour: Enjoy two World Heritage Sites at a leisurely pace.
It was an amazing time, and I definitely want to participate again!

白川郷・五箇山満喫1日ツアー 2つの世界遺産をゆっくり楽しもう
楽しみ最高の時間だった ぜひもう一度参加したい！

I was very happy with this tour. Everything was very well organized, and exactly as advertised. The views were spectacular. The guide, Yoshi, was very professional. Gave us a lot of information on Mount Fuji, and on Japan in general. At each step (sight-seeing, ropeway, boat ride) we got very clear instructions, and it enabled everything to run smoothly. As a one-day tour, this is as good as it gets. For those who would like to take it easy and see more of Hakuna, probably I would recommend to do it on their own and stay at least one night in Hakuna.

Yakushima, my mother's hometown. I visited for the first time in 22 years. It was my first time going to Jomon Sugi, and I was a bit anxious, but the guide's detailed explanations and the friendly participants made the long trek enjoyable. It rained for part of the way, but when the rain stopped, I was deeply moved by the fantastical forest and Yakusugi shrouded in mist. The guide also explained the history of Yakushima, and I want to learn more about it, including its history. I think it's a good idea to bring plenty of snacks since you get hungry. An umbrella is also essential. I realized that the reason this nature is preserved is precisely because the trek along the long, winding trolley path is not easy. I'm really glad I participated in this tour.

母の故郷である屋久島。22年ぶりに訪れました。縄文杉に行くのははじめてで、少し不安でしたが、ガイドさんの詳しい説明と参加されていた方が、気さくな方で長い道のりでしたが、楽しくトレキッングできました。途中まで雨が降っていましたが、雨が上がると霧に包まれた幻想的な森や屋久杉を見れてとても感動しました。ガイドさんから屋久島の歴史等も説明してもらい、屋久島のことを歴史も含めて調べてみたいと思います。お腹がすくのでおやつは多い目に持って行った方がいいと思います。傘も必需品です。ながーくながーく続くトロッコ道簡単に行けないからこそ、この自然が守られているのだと思いました。このツアーに参加して本当に良かったと思います。

Mika San our guide was very lively and funny! very informative and helpfull. Driver was excellent . Lunch was impeccable and we are lucky enough to see mt fuji all day with clear skies and amazing weather.

Trip was overall well organized and was able to maximize our time . It was the best highlight of my japan trip.

will definitely book again!

Very nice experience~ Suggest all of you to join if you haven't yet planned.

We had a great experience, and Hitomi, the tour guide, was very good. We were fortunate to have good weather and had great views of Fujisan. My only knock on the tour was the stop at the sulpher area. We were there for too long and it just wasn’t that interesting. I’d much rather spend more time on Mt. Fuji. Otherwise, the bus was comfortable and the trip was well worth it.

The weather was amazing and the scenery was fantastic! The color of the sea was emerald green, and I've been to Okinawa several times, but this was the most beautiful sea color I've ever seen.

I was able to fully enjoy Okinawa in just one day. Both the guide and the driver were great; they were truly healing people of Okinawa.

It was really a wonderful trip!

Thank you very much!

最高な天気で景色が最高でした(^^)v
海の色もエメラルドグリーンで今まで沖縄何度が来てますが一番綺麗な海の色でした(^-^)

１日で沖縄を満喫できました(^o^)
ガイドさんも運転手さんも良い、沖縄の癒やしの人でした(*^^*)

本当に良い旅でした(^_^)/

ありがとうございました(^^)v

Thanks to the tour guide, we were able to enjoy sightseeing without any waste of time. There were a lot of tourists, but it was a fun day. I'm glad we were also shown some great photo spots.

添乗員さんのおかげで、無駄無く観光できました。
観光客がとても多かったですが、楽しい一日でした。
写真スポットも教えてもらえて、よかったです。
