All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

The water buffalo had a name, and I rode "Tomi-kun" on Taketomi Island. It was relaxing to be pulled around the island by the buffalo. The stories from the buffalo handler were interesting, and it was a very nice time.

水牛には、名前がついていて、私は、竹富島の『富くん』に乗車。のんびりと牛に引かれて島をぐるりと。牛使いさんのお話も面白かったし、とてもいい時間でした。

I had a wonderful time on this trip. Our tour guide Levin was great. He was very friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and entertaining. He took great care to insuring that we all had the best experience possible, which included recommendations about local treats, shopping, and interesting things that could be done alon the way. He went above and beyond the tour requirements by answering many of my questions about Japan, and gave great recommendations regarding places to eat and things to do in Tokyo. The trip itself was fun, we got very lucky and were able to see Mt. Fuji throughout the entire trip. The lunch at Ninja village was delicious. The ninja village would be a fantastic experience for the children. I wish I realized that even though it was 80 plus degrees in Tokyo, it's going to be very cold on the 5th station( about 50 degrees), a sweater would have been great to have up there. The 4D ride was fantastic! We got to see Mt. Fuji in all its glory. I would greatly recommend this trip to families traveling with children. The only negative comment is the amount of time we got to spend at each stop. If it was extended by 1 hour to 2 hours the expyeiyld have been even better and we wouldn't feel like a marathoners. Trying to absorb everything in under 30 min.

It was a lunch and a packed sightseeing bus tour at the aquarium and JAL Hotel, which are difficult to reach on your own at the northernmost point. Traveling is better with companions... I made friends with a Japanese wife and some Chinese people, and we enjoyed it together.
I would like to ride again. Thank you very much.

自分では行きにくい最北端、水族館、JALホテルのでランチと盛りだくさんの観光バスツアーでした。旅は道連れ、、、日本人の奥様と中国人の方々と仲良くなり、一緒に楽しみました。
また乗ってみたいです。ありがとうございました。

I went to Kanazawa with my mother. It was my mother's first time in Shirakawa-go, while it was my second visit. The guide talked almost non-stop during the trip, which was enjoyable. I appreciated that they took photos at key points along the way.

By visiting both Shirakawa-go and Gokayama, we were able to experience the unique charm of each place, making for a very refreshing day.

It was a bit packed and a little tiring, but it turned out to be a very fulfilling day. Thank you!

母と二人で金沢へ。
白川郷は母は初めて、わたしは2度目でした。
ガイドさんは道中ほぼ喋りっぱなしで、楽しかったです。
要所要所で写真も撮ってくださり、感謝でした。

白川郷と五箇山、両方をまわることでそれぞれの良さを実感し、とても癒やされる一日でした。

少々盛りだくさんで、すこし疲れますが、とても充実した一日になりました。
ありがとうございました！

Overall well done with highly motivated guide. Would prefer Japanese food for lunch, not European style.

Booking this trip was really easy and the coach arrived right on time. The lady who was our guide apologised for not being able to speak English but managed to pass on all relevant details without a problem. She was very polite, attentive and friendly.
To make up for not being able to understand the guides commentary we were issued with a personal headset to listen to information. However, I found this frustrating as despite the guide giving an almost constant narrative as we went along we only got a couple of sound bites, most of which were adverts for the goods being sold at the stops. It was also difficult to hear over the guides microphone so we missed some of the information. I feel it was a lost opportunity for me to learn more about where we were.
As is usual with this kind of trip you don't get nearly enough time at each of the stops and I felt if we'd not bothered with the butterfly place and gift shop and used the time else where it would have been better. However the route we took meant you got to see quite a bit of the coast and a bit of countryside which was very nice.
However, the aquarium is the best I've ever seen and the large tank is totally awesome!

Since it was my first trip to Okinawa, I wanted to see various sights, including the Churaumi Aquarium, and I made the right choice by signing up for this tour. Each sightseeing spot was great, and the guide's explanations during the travel time were very interesting. There were also songs and dances in the latter part, which made it a lot of fun.

On the day of the tour, I was a bit worried about the cloudy weather and how it would affect our beach visits, but the guide was very skilled in their storytelling, allowing us to enjoy the sea in a different way than we would on a sunny day. I thought that having about 30 more minutes at the Churaumi Aquarium would have made the visit less rushed, but considering my stamina, I think this duration was just right.

初の沖縄旅行だったため、美ら海水族館を含めて色々観光したくてこのツアーに申し込みましたが大正解でした。
各観光どころも良かったし、移動時間のガイドさんの説明もとても興味深く後半には歌や踊りもあって、とても楽しかったです。
また、当日は少々曇天でビーチ等の観光はどうなのかな、と思っていましたが、ガイドさんのお話の仕方がとても上手で、晴天時の海とはまた違った海をしっかり楽しむことが出来ました。
美ら海水族館は、あと30分くらいあると慌ただしくなく観光できるのかな、とは思いましたが、体力的な事を考えると、これくらいがちょうどよかったのかとも思います。

It was my first tour that I attended in Tokyo, although I had been in Tokyo several times and it was really nice tour for half day. I traveled with my father for graduation I mean it was graduation trip. We had a good time especially my father liked it very much. Particularly the cruise part, my father really enjoyed it even it is just 10 or 15 minutes. As for me it was 2nd time so it is normal for me. I also enjoyed the tour. First we went to imperial palace and saw imperial palace the time that we spent there was not so much there just enough to take pictures. Then we went to asakusa, it is old temple or shrine in japan with a lot of shops around but not cheap. We went to tsukiji fish market, nothing special. Then to odaiba built island with mini statue of liberty and amazing view, had lunch there they provided halal lunch box for us which is really I am thankful for. In odaiba we took great pictures and videos. After we travelled in a nice boat from odaiba to Hinode Pier. Then they dropped us in shibuya that we wanted to go and see famous shibuya crossing and monument of hachiko the loyal dog. Thus, it was really nice tour we enjoyed ourselves. The staff were also nice people and helped us much, especially the tour assistant Levin from Philippine. He is a really nice guy and outgoing, willing to help the customers.

My sister and I traveled together, and since my younger sister (14) was visiting Okinawa for the first time and I couldn't drive, I was wondering what to do. Then my mother found a tour and signed us up. I didn't have any expectations since my mother found and booked it, but I'm really glad we participated! (*≧∀≦*) It was truly Okinawa!! I'm happy we could fully enjoy it. My sister was really delighted, and that made me happy too.

姉妹2人旅、妹（14）が、初沖縄で、私は運転出来ないため、どうしようかと思ってたら、母がツアーを見つけて申し込んでくれました。 母が見つけて申し込んだので、全く期待してなかったのですが、参加して本当に良かったと思いました(*≧∀≦*)ザ・沖縄 !! 満喫できて良かったです。妹がすごく喜んでくれて、私も嬉しくなりました。

I relaxed and enjoyed cycling around various places on a mama-chari. Kondoi Beach was an incredibly spacious and beautiful location.

のんびりして、ままチャリのサイクリングでいろいろな場所をまわり楽しみました。コンドイビーチはとてつもなく広くて綺麗な場所でした。

The bus guide's explanations and the sanshin performance were excellent, and the singing was amazing. There was also a café time along the way, making it a great value for the cost.

バスガイドさんの説明や三線が、うまくて歌声がすごいです。途中でカフェタイムもあり、コスト的にもお得ですよ。

I traveled to Kanazawa for 2 nights and 3 days. The purpose of this trip was to visit the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, and Shirakawa-go. When I thought about going to Shirakawa-go from Kanazawa, I realized that it would be very difficult to use public transportation, so I searched online and found this tour.

The good points were that I didn't have to worry about the transportation schedule. Since lunch was included, I didn't waste time looking for a place to eat. The lunch was also great, featuring mountain delicacies. I visited two gassho-zukuri villages; while I read online that it was enough to see just Shirakawa-go, the Ainokura village in Gokayama was also quaint and charming, offering a different atmosphere. The experience of making rice crackers at Sasara-ya on the way back was a fun little break during the drive. I was able to buy a lot of souvenirs.

Since I traveled after the peak season, there were few people on the White Road, allowing me to stop and take photos leisurely. The driver and tour guide were both kind and pleasant.

It was a very satisfying tour. If I could wish for something, I would feel more at ease with a one-day travel insurance. It would also be nice to receive a map for each person (since I went with a friend, it would be great to have one to reminisce after returning home).

金沢に2泊3日で旅行しました。金沢21世紀美術館と白川郷が今回の目的です。ということで，金沢発着で白川郷に行こうと思ったら・・・公共交通機関を利用すると非常に難しいなと思いネットで検索していてこのツアーを見つけました。
良かった点は，乗り物の時間を気にしなくてよい。昼食が付いているので食事場所を探したりする時間のロスがない。昼食も山の幸という感じでよかった。2カ所の合掌造りを見学したが，ネットでは白川郷だけでよかったというのも見たが，五箇山の相倉集落もこじんまりとして風情がありこちらもまた違う趣でよかった。帰りのささら屋でのせんべい焼き体験もドライブの途中のちょっとしたブレイクタイムで面白かった。お土産もたくさん買えた。
ピークの時期を過ぎていたので，ホワイトロードでは人も少なく途中下車してゆっくりと記念撮影することができた。ドライバーさん，添乗員さんも親切で感じがよかった。
とても満足できるツアーでした。
欲を言えば，1日旅行保険があると安心。マップを一人に1枚ずつもらえるとありがたい。（友人と行ったので帰宅後思い出すのにあると嬉しい）

While there were points of explanation, it was disappointing that we couldn't stop to take in the surrounding scenery and had to walk in a line of eight without pause. However, I understood that if we didn't do this, we wouldn't have enough time at Jomon Sugi and wouldn't make it back in time for the bus. Our feet, which were not used to walking, were crying out, and we ended up taking too many breaks. If we had gone individually, I definitely think we would have missed the last bus!

ポイントで説明はあるものの、周辺の景色を立ち止まって見ることは叶わず黙々と8人一列で歩くのが残念でした。でも、そうしなければせっかくの縄文杉の所で時間をとれなくなったり、バスの時間に間に合うように戻って来れないんだとわかりましたが。歩く習慣がない悲鳴をあげていた足の私達は休み過ぎてしまい、個人で行ってたら絶対、最終バスに乗れなかったと思います！

Since this was my second time on Taketomi Island, I was looking for a budget-friendly plan that included bike rentals and ferry fees, and I found this plan. The staff were very helpful, and there was a free shuttle bus for the return trip, which was really convenient! I would definitely like to use this service again if I have the chance!

今回が、竹富島2回目だったのでレンタサイクルとフェリー代で安いプランをと考えていたらこのプランがありました。
スタッフの対応もよく帰りは無料の送迎バスもあり本当に助かりました‼︎
また機会があれば使用したいと思います‼︎

Lady Tour Guide - Eiko San was really good who conducted d 1st lap in d morning.
Afternoon Guide - a Gentleman was not that efficient. Next time suggest U allocate one Guide for d Full Day Tour. Thanks.

Since both my friend and I were beginners at trekking, we decided to join a tour this time, and it was definitely the right choice. Trekking while listening to the guide's explanations was incredibly beneficial, and although it was tough, I think I would have given up if I had gone alone (laughs). We also took a lot of photos, making it a valuable experience.

友達とお互いトレッキングは初心者だったので
今回はツアーに参加しましたが大正解でした。
ｶﾞｲﾄﾞさんの説明を聞きながらのトレッキングはすごいためになったし
こまめに休憩など配分もしてくれてきつかったけど個人でいったらリタイアしてたかなっておもいます笑
写真もたくさん撮っていただき貴重な体験ができました

My first solo trip. I chose a bus tour plan. The weather was perfect, and seeing the blue ocean was incredibly soothing. I had unique experiences like the mangrove cruise and the water buffalo cart ride, and it was so good that I would love to participate again, even alone. I'll definitely come back!

初めてのひとり旅。バス観光プランにしました。天気も最高に良く、青い海が見れて最高に癒されました。マングローブクルーズや水牛車の体験ここでしかできない体験させてもらい、また一人でも参加したいくらい良かったです^ ^
また来ます☆

We just came back from Mt. Fuji tour and somehow felt disappointed that we did not get to see the mountain due to foggy weather. However, we still had a good time taking the sky gondola and cruise on Lake Ashi. Our tour guide had been very informative, I would recommend people to do this tour, but not if the weather is foggy/rainy.

I was very satisfied that I could visit the famous spots in Okinawa in just one day. The guide shared songs, dances, dialects, stories about the people of Okinawa, and little bits of information that aren't in guidebooks, which I really enjoyed! I definitely want to come back to Okinawa!

沖縄の有名どころを1日で回ることができて大満足でした。ガイドさんが歌や踊り、方言、沖縄の人や沖縄のプチ情報をお話ししてくださり、ガイドブックに書いてないことを沢山楽しめました！是非また沖縄に来たいです！

I participated in the same tour before. This time, I joined with a friend who was visiting Okinawa for the first time, and since our time was limited, we chose this tour that allows for an efficient day trip. The guide entertained us with songs, history, and quizzes, and my friend was very satisfied.

以前同じツアーに参加しました。今回は沖縄が初めての友達も同行し、なおかつ日にちが限られたため、日帰りで効率的にまわれるこのツアーにしました。ガイドさんが歌や歴史やクイズなどで楽しませてくれて、友達も大満足でした。

The weather was great, and it was a very enjoyable tour. The lunch was a bit disappointing, but... I recommend this tour as you can enjoy each of the three islands.

天気にも恵まれてとても楽しいツアーでした。昼食がいまいちだったが残念ですが…３島それぞれ楽しめるツアーでおすすめです。

A great and amazing experience of viewing the Tokyo of Japan with full horizon.

One can take a break in between stops to explore the Skytree, Tokyo tower, Shinjuk and other areas.

It was a day where I strongly felt the richness and preciousness of nature while walking endlessly. Our guide was an extremely experienced person. They didn't talk much, but they warmly and carefully guided us. I am very, very grateful.
According to the guide, it's best to visit Yakusugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo in one day. I truly felt that this was the case. I am happy to have found this tour and to have met our guide. Thank you very much.

ひたすら歩く中で、自然の豊かさや尊さを強く実感した1日でした。ガイドさんは超ベテランの方。あまり多くを話さないけど、暖かく、丁寧に、私たちを案内してくださいました。凄く凄く、感謝しています。
ガイドさんが言うには、1日で屋久杉と白谷雲水峡を行くのが一番良いのだとか、、。本当にその通りだなぁと実感しました。このツアーを見つけることが出来て、ガイドさんと出会えて、幸せです。ありがとうございました。

It was a good way seeing Tokyo. Enjoyed the hop on hop off experience in the beautiful city of Tokyo.

I was torn about which option to choose, but this time I selected the water buffalo cart and bus tour plan on Taketomi Island. I picked up all the tickets and received an explanation at the remote island terminal, and then we set off. There were staff members at each location, and everything was well coordinated, so there was no confusion. The water buffalo cart on Iriomote Island slowly crossed the water to the island, while the cart on Taketomi Island leisurely moved through a small village. The water buffalo seem to enjoy taking breaks, as they only move slowly both in the water and on land, but I think that's part of the charm. Since I went in August, it was very hot, so I would like to visit again when it's cooler.

どのオプションにしようか悩みましたが、今回は竹富島で水牛車とバス観光プランを選びました。
離島ターミナルで全てのチケットを受取り説明を受けいざ出発 各箇所に係りの人が居て連携もバッチリ迷う事なく行けました。 西表島の水牛車は水の中をゆっくりゆっくり島に渡り竹富島の水牛車は小さな集落をのんびりのんびり進む 水牛達は、休憩が好きなようで水の中でも陸の上でも少しづつしか進みませんがそれがいいんだと思います。 今回は、8月に行ったのでとても暑かったのでまた来る時は涼しい時に行きたいと思います。

Being our first time to Japan, we obviously had to say hello to Fuji-san. Signed up via Veltra with Japan Panoramic Tour Agency. We were kinda anxious as it was also our first experience signing up with an online provider (sight-unseen) and we weren't sure what to expect. Our fears were unrealised, thankfully!

We were met at the designated pick-up point in Shinjuku and started our journey to Mount Fuji in a comfy bus. Along the way, we had opportunities to admire the vastness of Lake Kawaguchi, enjoy yummy blueberry ice-cream, collect cool spring water in Oshino Hakkai, and have filling lunch in a Ninja Village before getting in some fun being 'ninja-like'. We even had a cool photo shot with a ninja!

At the 5th station stop, Mount Fuji left us breathless and awed. We were so blessed to catch sight of it before it did a 'vanishing' trick in the mist! The fabulous 4D experience with Fuji Airways gave us wonderful sights of Fuji-san, which we otherwise would not have had.

Although it seemed a bit rushed at times, on the whole this was a day trip well worth the time and expense. For sure, we had a great day up the mountain!

I participated in a Jomon Sugi trekking tour. While it's possible to go on your own, I signed up for the tour because the guide shared various stories along the monotonous trolley path, making the trekking experience enjoyable. However, this guide, while providing explanations at key points, was clearly different from other tour guides I observed. His explanations were brief, and he remained silent while we walked. He did take some photos, but it felt somewhat casual. Other guides seemed to have much more fun tours, while ours was just a quiet walk. I regretted not going on my own. Since you can't choose your guide, I don't think I'll rely on this company again.

縄文杉トレッキングツアーに参加しました。
個人でも行けるけど、単調なトロッコ道をガイドさんがいろいろな話しをしてくれて、飽きることなくトレッキングができるということで、ツアーに申し込みました。
しかし、このガイドさん、一応要所要所で説明はしてくれたのですが、他のツアーのガイドさんを見てると明らかに違うんです。説明も短いし歩いている時はもちろん無言。写真撮影もしてはくれますが、なんとなく適当。他のガイドさんのツアーはすごく楽しそうなのに、私達のツアーは黙々と歩くだけ。
個人で行けば良かったと後悔したツアーでした。
ガイドさんは選べないので、ここに頼むことは、二度とないと思います。

This time, I participated in this tour because it was difficult to move around by rental car with three women traveling together. The meeting place was easy to find as they provided detailed information about the bus's features! There were many spots to visit, and although the schedule was a bit tight, I was able to experience a lot of the charm of Okinawa! There were many international customers, but the tour went smoothly without any delays. At the end, I wanted to head to Kokusai Street, so I requested a change in the drop-off point, and they kindly accommodated my request, which was very helpful. Thank you very much.

今回は、女子３人旅で、レンタカーでの移動が難しかったので
こちらのツアーに参加させて頂きました。
集合場所は、バスの特徴など細かくご連絡下さっていたのですぐ見つけることが出来ました！
まわれるスポットが多く、代わりに時間がややタイトですが
沖縄の魅力をたくさん感じることが出来ました！
海外のお客様が多かったですが、時間の遅れなどもなくスムーズなツアーでした。
最後、国際通りに向かいたかったので、下車ポイントの変更依頼をしましたが
こちらも快く受けて下さったので助かりました。
ありがとうございました。

The walk to the destination was very slow, but the return was quick. I thought, "Guide, could we have a little more break, please?" However, I was impressed that no one fell behind and we all made it back to the bus on time. Since the walk there was slow, by the time we arrived, other groups had already started descending, which was nice because it was less crowded.

I encountered deer and monkeys among the six species originally on the island. On the way back, it rained quite a bit, but the misty Jomon Sugi was very mystical and majestic.

行きがとってもゆっくり歩いてくださって、でも帰りが早くて
（ガイドさん、きゅ休憩、休憩をもう少しください～！）と思いましたが
誰一人脱落することなくバスに間に合ったのでさすがだなぁと思いました。
行きがゆっくりだったのでたどり着く頃には他のグループは下山し始めていて空いているのも良かったです。

島にもともといる６種類のうち鹿と猿に出会えました。
帰りは結構降られましたが、煙ぶる縄文杉はとても神秘的で荘厳でした。

You can get to see Mount Fuji most part of the tour. The tour guide Jack was very informative and helpful.

The view of Mt Fuji from Lake Kawaguchi was awesome. I recommend having the blueberry ice creams they sell there. It was very yummy.

The 8 ponds around Mt Fuji at Oshino had crystal clear water and it was very beautiful. From there we proceeded to the Ninja village where we had a good buffet lunch and played some Ninja games. We tried throwing some Ninja star shaped weapons on targets, went in to the maze and got lost several times. Took some cool pics with the Ninjas. From there we went to Fuji Q Highland and I must say that this was one of the highlights of the tour. The 4D show was AWSOME and I wish I experience that again. You get to fly over Mt Fuji and see it in different seasons.

Overall the tour was very good and good value for money
