All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

The guide explained, sang, danced, and even performed a paper play. I really think that's amazing.
It's much easier to take this bus tour than to drive myself.

ガイドさんは解説して歌って踊って紙芝居もやってました。本当にすごいと思います。
自分で運転するよりも、このバスツアーのほうが本当に楽です。

I participated in the half-day course at Yakusugi Land in the afternoon. Since it was possible to join as a solo traveler, I attended alone this time. By late August, it seemed that the summer vacation peak had passed, so instead of a bus, we took a taxi. The driver shared a lot of detailed information about Yakushima. We visited Yakusugi Land and the Jomon Sugi, and along the way, he also pointed out some delicious spots for water. On the way back, he kindly stopped at various places to explain things, which made for wonderful memories. He even took me to a shop I wanted to visit on the way back. It was very kind of him. I would like to use this service again.

午後からのヤクスギランド半日コースを利用しました。
お一人様の参加可能ということで、
今回ひとり参加致しました。
8月下旬で夏休みピークを過ぎたのか
参加が数名だったためバスでなく、
タクシーだったのですが運転手さんから色々と屋久島の詳しいお話しも聞けました。
ヤクスギランドと紀元杉に行きましたが、
途中の美味しい脇水の場所とかも教えてもらったり、帰りみちは所々で下車して丁寧に説明して下さったのでとても思い出になりました。
帰りは寄りたいお店まで送っていただきました。
とても親切でした。
また利用したいです。

Thanks to our guide's humorous stories and encouragement, we were able to complete the 11-hour tour safely. Of course, I was tired, but the sense of achievement is something you can only understand by taking on the challenge. It became an unforgettable memory. We were blessed with good weather, and it was great that all team members returned safely, but I did think that having eight people in the team was a bit much. I felt the charm of Yakushima and became interested in other tours and activities, so I returned hoping to visit Yakushima again. The direct bus was very convenient, especially on the way back. Thank you!

ガイドさんのユーモアあるお話と励ましで、無事に１１時間におよぶツアーも終えることができました。もちろん疲れましたが、その達成感はチャレンジしてみないとわかりません。一生忘れられない思い出となりした。お天気にも恵まれ、チームメンバー全員無事で大変よかったのですが、ただ８人のチーム編成は多いのでは？と思います。屋久島の魅力を感じ、ほかのツアーやアクティビティにも興味があり、ぜひ再び屋久島へ行けたらと思いつつ帰ってきました。直行バスはとても便利で、特に帰りは助かりました。ありがとうございました！

The course was certainly good, but the various conversations on the bus, the Okinawan songs, and the traditional Kachashi dance really made it an enjoyable trip, including during the travel time!

コースももちろん良かったですが、バスの中での色々な話や、沖縄の歌三線、カチャーシーなど、盛り上げていただき、移動中も含めてほんと楽しい旅になりました！

The transportation to the accommodation is included, making it easy to get around. We were picked up at 4 o'clock, and I was able to sleep for about an hour until we arrived at the trailhead. The veteran guide managed our pace and time effectively.

After all, it's a round trip of about 10 hours, approximately 40,000 steps, with an elevation difference of 680 meters, in mid-August, so we need to be cautious of heatstroke, especially since we are beginners. The guide took many photos at various points, explained the history and flora and fauna of Yakushima, and kept our spirits up with plenty of humor.

We were also able to listen to the launch sound of Michibiki 3. The miso soup for lunch was delicious. Additionally, it wasn't just fun; the guide shared profound thoughts like, "Please face Jomon Sugi properly and feel and think about it," and "Being efficient doesn't mean cutting corners."

On the way back, we had a private bus, so I could sleep on the way home. The guide taught us how to care for our tired feet, and I was able to recover from muscle soreness in just two days. I'm grateful.

宿泊先までの送迎付きなので、らくらく移動。4時にピックアップしてもらい、登山口に到着するまで約1時間寝ていけます。
ベテランのガイドさんが、ペース配分、時間配分をしてくれます。
何と言っても、往復正味10時間、約4万歩、高低差680m、8月中旬、熱中症注意、こちらは初心者、ですからね。
ポイントポイントで写真をたくさん撮ってくださり、屋久島の歴史や動植物の解説してくれたり、私たちがくじけないようにユーモアたっぷりに話をしてくれたり。
みちびき3号の打ち上げ音に耳を傾けることもできました。
お昼のお味噌汁もおいしかったです。
また、ただ楽しいだけじゃなく、「縄文杉としっかり向き合って、感じたり考えたりしてくださいね」「要領良くというのは、手抜きをすることじゃないですよ」など、ぼっそと呟く言葉も深くて。
帰りも、専用バスですから、寝て帰れます。
歩き疲れた足のケアの仕方を教えてくださったので、筋肉痛も2日で取れました。
感謝です。

The guide was incredibly energetic, with singing and dancing, and provided a thorough explanation of Okinawa's history. I participated alone, but I had a great time and learned a lot. The main highlight this time was the Churaumi Aquarium, which was crowded, but the dolphin show was fantastic. When returning to the bus, the guide and the driver always welcomed us, and I thought that their attitude contributes to the popularity of this tour. They also paid attention to our seating, so I was never bored until the end. I would love to join again when I come back to Okinawa!

とにかくガイドさんがパワフル、唄あり、踊りあり、沖縄の歴史もよくよく説明していただき、一人での参加でしたが、とても楽しかったし、勉強になりました。今回のメイン、美ら海水族館、混んでいましたが、オキちゃんショーも最高でした。バスに戻る時は、いつもガイドさんとドライバーさんのお２人でお出迎え、その姿勢がこのツアーの人気につながっているのだなと思いました。座席にも気を使っていただき、最後まで飽きませんでした。また、沖縄に来たときは、参加したいです！

It was really hot, and everyone in the rental bike group looked like they were struggling with the heat. The water buffaloes also seemed to be feeling the heat... The Taketomi Island I wanted to visit was just as lovely as I imagined it would be. ♡

とにかく暑くて、レンタサイクル組はみんな暑そうでした。水牛たちも暑そうでした…
行きたかった竹富島はイメージ通りに素敵なところでした♡

The trekking in Yakushima that I had longed for was truly breathtaking, with nature that far exceeded my imagination. The tour guide was incredibly kind and taught us so much, making it a very valuable and meaningful experience. I was completely captivated by the charm of Yakushima, and I hope to visit again once I've saved up some money.

念願だった屋久島のトレッキング。想像を遥かに超えるような壮大な自然に終始圧巻でした。ツアーガイドさんもすごく優しくてたくさんの事を教わり大変貴重で有意義な時間を過ごすことが出来ました。屋久島の魅力にどっぷりと魅了されまたお金が貯まったら脚を運びたいと思います。

It was very amazing and beautiful Japan is! I admire the Japanese people about there culture and mostly there attitude, generally they are nice and patient people....I didnt experienced any discrimination where ever we went, Tokyo is really a nice place to come visit...so peaceful and clean...I also recommend our tour guide yulie who is very knowledgeable about the place and very accommodating, Im sure i want to come back soon and book my trip to your company again. Thank you and more power.

I was able to visit more places than I expected by entering my destination. I had enough time to enjoy myself! We wanted to leave partway through, and they accommodated us, allowing us to have a smooth and enjoyable day!
However, there were times when I was concerned about the volume of voices on the bus, and I felt that we couldn't take our time as much as we would have liked. I would appreciate it if they could address the loud voices. Also, there were times when the bus was too far away, so I felt it would be helpful if the bus could stop closer.

目的地を入れていろんな場所に思ったよりも行けました。時間も余裕があるので楽しめました！わたしたちは途中離脱を望んでいましたが、それを容認していただき、スムーズに一日中楽しめました！
ただ、バス内の声の大きさなど気になることが度々あり、ゆっくり回ることはできなかった気がする。うるさいと思う声への対処もしてほしい。また、バスが遠くて困るというときがあったので、なるべく近くにバスが止まっててくれると助かると感じた。

I really wanted to go to the Churaumi Aquarium, so I joined this tour. I was very satisfied that I could efficiently enjoy other popular spots in Okinawa as well. Thank you! I had a great time even by myself!

どうしても美ら海水族館に行きたくてこのツアーに参加しました。他にも沖縄の人気スポットを効率よく楽しむことができてとても満足しています。ありがとうございました！1人でも十分楽しめました！

This tour was alright. The sights we were brought to were good and entertaining. Although the time allocated for each stop was not even close to being enough...the tsukiji fish market was excellent and the food was great and at the same time affordable. The buffet was not exeptional considering the price that was paid for it. Overall it is a tour that all first timers in tokyo must do. But really it was the tour assistant LEVIN that made the tour interesting. Thank you to LEVIN

My first mountain climbing experience. I was anxious since I was traveling alone as a woman, but the guide helped by pacing us slowly. Additionally, I was able to climb lightly by leaving my luggage along the way, which helped conserve my energy. When I actually went, I found that I really loved the mountains in Shiratani Unsuikyo more than Jomon Sugi, so it was a great decision to be greedy. If you only go to Jomon Sugi, you'll just see a long trolley path and a lot of cedar trees. It's a long course, but there are tourist spots along the way, so it doesn't get boring. If you walk slowly and without rushing, you can conserve your stamina. The Shiratani Unsuikyo to Jomon Sugi course avoids the crowds of climbers on the Jomon Sugi-only course. This way, you can climb at your own pace, and there was hardly any waiting for photos or restrooms. I definitely recommend beginners to go with a guide. They teach you about Yakushima's history and more, which is educational, and you really get to appreciate the beauty of Yakushima's nature, which is moving. I can't stay long, but...

初登山。ひとり旅で女だし、不安でしたが、ガイドさんがゆっくりペース配分してくれました。また、途中、荷物を置きながら身軽に登山ができ、無駄な体力を使わずに登山することができました。私は、実際行ってみると縄文杉より、白谷雲水峡の山の中がとても好きになり欲張って正解でした。縄文杉だけだと、長いトロッコ道と、杉の木ばかりです。長いコースですが、要所要所に、観光スポットがあるので、あきません。ゆっくり焦らず歩けば体力温存できます。白谷雲水峡→縄文杉コースなら、縄文杉だけのコースの登山者の混雑にかかりません。なので、自分達のペースで登山ができるし、写真やトイレも並ぶようなことはほとんどありませんでした。初心者さんは、是非ガイドさん付きをオススメします。屋久島の歴史やらなんやら教えてくれるので勉強にもなるし、屋久島の自然のすごさがよくわかり、感動します。長く滞在できないけど、た

I chose this tour because it includes a private shuttle bus and rental services. I'm usually not very active, so I was worried about being able to walk the whole way, but the guide made sure to take regular breaks and shared tips on how to walk, which made the trekking enjoyable! Thank you very much!!

貸切の送迎バスであること、レンタルがついてることからこのツアーに決めました。普段特に運動をしていないので歩ききれるか不安でしたが、ガイドさんがこまめに休憩を入れてくださったり、歩き方のコツなど教えていただき、楽しくトレッキングできました！ありがとうございました！！

One child got seasick during the first 45 minutes of the boat ride. When we immediately informed the guide for the mangrove cruise about the seasickness, they quickly changed us to a boat with a restroom, allowing us to enjoy the cruise with peace of mind. After that, the child who had been seasick regained their energy when it was time to ride the water buffalo cart and was able to have a lot of fun.

There were no restroom breaks from the time we arrived at Iriomote Island until we reached the lunch venue. It's also a good idea to bring your own drinks.

子ども1人は最初の45分の乗船で船酔いをしてしまいました。
その後すぐに乗船するマングローブクルーズのガイドさんに船酔いしていることを伝えると、トイレ付きの船に急遽変更してもらえ安心してクルーズできました。
その後船酔いした子どもは、水牛車に乗る時には元気が戻りその後はとても楽しむ事ができました。

西表島についてから昼食会場まで特にトイレ休憩時間はありませんでした。また飲み物も持参したほうがいいです。

I booked the tour one day before and was happy that I did it for myself and 2 cousins. The trip turn up to be good except that we can't see the whole view of Mount Fuji due to weather. The trip end with a good bonus to see a 4 D show about Mount Fuji. Good experience, recommend Day your.

Great trip to Mt Fugi. We're fortunate with good weather had great view of the mts and scenery. The little towns were cute, would have been nice to have more time to walk around but a very full day. The fresh spring water was really cold and refreshing.
Mario was very informative tour guide. Had hands on experience climbing Mt fugi, able to give first hand account about climbing Mt fugi. Thanks for the experience.

The wonderful sound of the sanshin and the lovely singing voice. I brought my child, and I was happy that they frequently engaged with us. I would definitely like to participate again.

ステキな三線の音色とステキな歌声。子どもを連れて行ったのですが、こまめに話しかけて下さって嬉しかったです。また、ぜひ参加したいです。

I participated with my daughter. Since I was the oldest at 50 years old among the other two girls and five guides, I worked hard not to be a burden to everyone (laughs). The trek from Shiratani to Jomon Sugi and back was quite tough, but thanks to the guide saving the detour to Taiko Rock for the end, I was able to finish on a high note. My knees were at their limit, and I barely made it to the goal. Mentally, I felt I could still go on, but my body was at its limit; my daughter felt physically fine but was mentally exhausted (laughs). I would have retired if it had rained even a little. The pleasant breeze was on my side, and I felt like I was called by Jomon Sugi (laughs).

For over 12 hours, the guide kept talking, which made the walk enjoyable and kept us from getting bored. Thank you for the fun stories. Thanks to the various quizzes about Princess Mononoke, even though I’ve never seen it, I’m looking forward to renting the DVD and watching it while recalling the guide's stories.

Due to time constraints, we chose a tour that covered Jomon Sugi and Shiratani in one day, but for the second time, I might do them separately (laughs). Or perhaps in at Arakawa and out at Shiratani (laughs) since I want to save Taiko Rock for last.

I think this tour course is definitely one that those with confidence in their physical strength should join. The in-and-out of Shiratani will create wonderful memories, but be prepared (laughs) before participating. However, the guide will decide whether to exit at Arakawa or Shiratani based on the participants' conditions, so please consult with them.

I definitely want to go again.

娘と二人で参加させてもらいました。他の二人の女の子、ガイドさん5人の中で最年長50才の自分だったので皆さんに迷惑がかからないように頑張りました(笑)白谷in→縄文杉→白谷outはかなりキツかったのですが、往路にあえて外した太鼓岩を最後に残しておいて下さったおかげで、最高な気分で終えることができました。ひざが限界で本当にギリギリのゴールでした。自分は精神的にはまだまだいけたのですが体が限界、娘は体はまだまだいけるが精神的に限界(笑)自分は、ちょっとでも雨が降ったらリタイヤでしたね。気持ちの良い風も味方してくれたりして、自分は縄文杉に呼ばれたんだなと実感しています(笑)
12時間以上の長い間、ガイドさんが終始お話してくれて、飽きることなく歩き続けられました。楽しいお話ありがとうございました。もののけ姫のいろいろなクイズのおかげで、もののけ姫をみたことがない自分ですがDVDをレンタルしてガイドさんのお話を思い出しながら観るのが楽しみです。
今回は滞在時間の関係で縄文杉と白谷雲水峡を１日でというツアーを選択しましが2回目は別々かな(笑)または荒川口in→縄文杉→白谷outとか(笑)太鼓岩は最後にとっておきたいので。
体力に自信のある方には是非、参加してほしいツアーコースだと思います。in&out白谷は最高の思い出になりますが覚悟して(笑)参加して下さいね。ただ、ガイドさんが参加者の状況でoutを荒川口にするか白谷にするか決めてくださいます。相談してみて下さいね。
また絶対行きたいと思います。

I have been to Okinawa many times, but this was my first time booking a tour. I enjoyed being able to travel without driving, visiting places I had never been to before, and the packed itinerary. The guide was also a wonderful person.

沖縄へは何度も行ってますが初めてツアーを申し込みしました。運転せずに移動できること、往訪したことのない場所、盛りだくさんの内容で楽しめました。ガイドさんも素敵な方でした。

Very convenient way to see the Okinawa Aquarium from the Kadena area. The Nago Pineapple stop was a pleasant surprise. Well organized and a good value.

It was an amazing tour! Mario and Abe-san (our driver) were amazing! Thank you so much for thia wonderful tour. It was so much fun. It was even better because the weather was so great. We were able to see Mt. Fuji clearly! I highly recommend this tour! Lunch was yummy, too!

Was a great tour, good weather allowed to see the scenery and mt Fugi well. The fresh spring water in Oshino was cold and refreshing. Mario was a great tour guide, was able to share first hand experience about climbing Mt Fugi. If only I had more time I would come back to climb trail. But fortunately the clouds broke so was able to get pictures of the summit. The Fugi simulation was nice allowed to see and experience the different seasons on the mt. Would have been nice to have a little more time at sites but with full day saw alot. Thanks!!

The crew was very kind and attentive, and although it was a short trip, I was able to enjoy it. Thank you very much.

乗務員さんがいろいろと親切に対応してくれて,短い旅だったが楽しむことができました。ありがとうございました

Very nice trip. Well organised and professionally managed by local company (Rado). Everything went smoothly. The lady in charge of the tour didn't speak well English but was very kind and attentive to all guests. I recommend it to any foreigner who wants to visit Churaumi aquarium. Pick up option from hotel is a plus. Good experience!

There were various weather conditions to consider, including whether Typhoon No. 13 would turn into a tropical depression. The forecast still indicated rain, and there were whitecaps on the sea in front of us. However, the local company gave the go-ahead, and my family was eager to proceed! As a mother with children, I struggled with the decision to cancel until the last moment. When we boarded the ship, heavy rain created a sense of unease inside.

However, as we left the port, the clouds moved quickly, and we were greeted with clear skies. It was the largest ship, so the rocking was within expected limits. During the bus tour, we experienced a downpour, surprising even our guide, but we managed to continue without umbrellas until the end. The sightseeing was leisurely and fulfilling, allowing us to fully enjoy nature. The female guide on the large bus in Iriomote Island left a very good impression on me.

The ox cart and cycling were especially enjoyable in the sunshine, which supported our journey! However, the return ship was small and a high-speed vessel, and some passengers experienced nausea due to the strong winds.

Cape Hedo, the northernmost point, was dynamic and absolutely wonderful. At the Oishi Forest, I was moved to find an Okinawa lizard, feeling the beauty of nature. Although it's hot and I tend to think of marine sports as the main activity, I highly recommend trekking while sweating, with the expansive view of the ocean.

最北端の地、辺戸岬はダイナミックで最高に良かったです。大石林山では、オキナワトカゲを見つけて、自然だなぁと感動しました。暑いのでマリンスポーツがメインに考えてしまいますが、汗をかきながらのトレッキング、大きく広がる海の景色はお勧めです。ー

I think it's great to go with family. There are many photo spots, and we were able to take a lot of memorable pictures together. It was nice to take photos with the water buffalo at Ryukyu Village. The water at Manza Beach is a cerulean blue color and very beautiful, and swimming there really lifts everyone's spirits. The blue sky, blue sea, and white clouds make you feel like it's summer and the beach! It was so exciting. I also can't forget the sight of the fish swimming at the aquarium. I don't think you should miss this tour, as it really captures the essence of Okinawa.

家族で行くのが良いと思います。写真スポットがたくさんあり実際家族で思い出の写真をたくさん取ることができました。琉球村で水牛と一緒に家族で写真をとれたのは良かったと思います。万座毛ビーチの水はセロリアンブルーの色をしていてとてもきれいで、泳ぐと家族全員の気分のMAXです。青い空、青い海、白い雲。夏だ！海だ！って気持ちにさせてくれ盛り上がりました。水族館で見たお魚さん達の泳いでる姿も忘れられないいです。沖縄っぽさがいっぱい感じれるここのツアーを外すことはないと思います。

We had the pleasure of doing an 8 Hr tour with the driver Hiroshi Yano. He was extremely knowledgeable of details and history, which kept it very interesting. His car was very clean and comfortable and he also had a great sense of humor. He spoke English very well. He was also accommodating to change the original itinerary based on our needs since we had since some of the sites the day before. I for sure would highly recommend him and this tour agency which was also very accommodating in returning several email questions prior to our booking.

The buses all have a long waiting time, between 60 to 90 minutes for the next ride. They are on schedule which is nice but the ride also goes too fast. The audio will cut off halfway while explaining a monument or something of the sort and then will never complete. The audio also usually didn't sync with what was being seen/ passed by which was annoying.

Two of the routes are almost exactly the same, one with an additional four stops in Roppongi but you're really paying for two and a quarter lines, not three.

Seating is only on the top deck so if it's boiling hot or pouring rain, you're out of luck. I have taken hop on, hop off buses around the world but this has to be one of the worst. Would NOT recommend.
