All Reviews for Half-Day Tours

I think it's a great tour. I would like to see other tours created around the same time. It was really good, so thank you very much.

いいツアーだと思います。同じような時間帯で他のツアーも作って欲しいです。本当に良かったので宜しくお願い致します。

The weather was nice, and the view from Taiko Rock was beautiful, which was moving.
Along the way, the guide took a lot of photos, so we ended up with many wonderful pictures.
The guide also explained about the plants, like moss, so I was able to enjoy the hike.
I think it's possible to hike without a guide, but I'm glad I signed up for the tour.

天気が良く、太鼓岩からの景色が美しく、感動しました。
道中、ガイドさんがたくさん写真を撮ってくださったので
ステキな写真がいっぱいできました。
苔などの植物の説明もしてくださったので、楽しく登山できました。
ガイドなしでも登山可能かと思いますが、ツアーに申し込んで良かったです。

On the last day, while I was thinking about what to do after returning the rental car, I found this tour and signed up. I rarely have the opportunity to visit the southern part, and this was my first time visiting all these places. The atmosphere at Sefa Utaki was solemn and mystical, which was wonderful, and the view from the window of the seaside café I chose on Course B was like a postcard picture—it was the best!

最終日でレンタカーも返却してどうしようかな～と思ってるときにこのツアーを見つけて申し込みました。南部はなかなか行く機会がなく今回初めて訪れる所ばかりでした。斎場御嶽も厳かで神秘的な雰囲気で良かったし、Bコースで選んだ海辺のカフェの窓から見る景色はまるで絵葉書の写真みたいで最高でした。

This is my second visit to Yakushima this year. I couldn't resist visiting Shiratani Unsuikyo and Taiko Rock again after just six months.

Hiking through the green forest with a refreshing breeze and dappled sunlight was wonderful. The view from Taiko Rock, with a rainbow arcing across the sky, was truly beautiful.

Once again, I had a reliable guide accompanying me, which allowed me to enjoy the hike with peace of mind. Thank you, guide Kyoku.

I can't help but wonder how beautiful the autumn foliage and winter snow scenery will be, and I already find myself longing for Yakushima.

I look forward to visiting again soon.

今年2度目の屋久島。白谷雲水峡、太鼓岩も半年もあけずに又訪れてしまいました。
緑の森の中を爽やかな風と、木漏れ日を浴びながらの登山。虹のかかる太鼓岩からの眺めはとても素敵なものでした。
今回も、頼りになるガイドさんが同行して下さり、安心して登山を楽しむことが出来ました。ガイドの局さん、ありがとうございました。
秋の紅葉や冬の雪景色は、どんなに素敵なんだろうと、早くも屋久島を恋しく思う日々です。
又、お伺いする際にはどうぞよろしくお願い致します。

Since my workplace is in Nihonbashi, none of these places were new to me. However, I was truly surprised at how fresh everything felt from a different perspective. I was also satisfied with the staff's service. Thank you very much.

職場が日本橋なので、いずれの場所も初めてのところではありませんでした。でも、でもです！目線が違うとこんなにも新鮮なのかと本当に驚きました。スタッフの皆さんの対応にも満足です。ありがとうございました。

I traveled to Okinawa with two friends in March for a two-night, three-day trip. Unfortunately, we weren't able to see much of the beautiful ocean due to the weather. However, on the last day, which was our whale watching day, the weather was perfect. The guide was very friendly and made the experience enjoyable.

At first, I was worried that we wouldn't see any whales, but we were able to see them clearly. It was also memorable to see a mother and baby whale together.

There were many people on the boat, including not only Japanese tourists but also a lot of foreign tourists, such as those from China. Since it had been rainy for several days, the waves were a bit high, and it seemed that more than half of the foreign tourists were seasick. However, our group had no issues. I tend to get motion sickness easily, so I took some medication beforehand, which helped. I recommend that anyone who is worried about seasickness take some medication as well.

Overall, it was a satisfying tour with good weather and no seasickness.

3月に友人と３人で利用しました。２泊３日の沖縄旅行でしたが、天候に恵まれずあまり綺麗な海を見れていませんでした。最終日のホエールウォッチングの日だけとてもよく晴れました。ガイドのお兄さんも、とってもフレンドリーで楽しかったです。
最初は、クジラが見れなかったどうしようと思っていましたが、しっかりと見ることができました。また、親子のクジラを見ることができたのも印象深かったです。
船には多くの人が乗っていて、日本人だけでなく中国人観光客など外国人が多かったです。雨の日が続いていたこともあり、若干波が高かったこともあり外国人の観光客の方の半分以上が船酔いしていたようでしたが、私たちグループは問題ありませんでした。もともと、酔いやすいタイプなので事前に酔い止めを飲んで防げたので、心配な方は酔い止めを服用するといいと思います。
船酔いすることもなく、いい天気で楽しいツアーだったので満足です。

Shiratani Unsuikyo is manageable even with a late morning start, but an early morning departure is recommended. This is because:

- There are fewer people, allowing you to enjoy nature all to yourself. An empty forest is wonderful.
- The weather is often clear in the morning. It tends to get cloudy in the afternoon as temperatures rise.
- The tranquility before sunrise and the beauty of the forest as the sunlight begins to filter in are stunning.

On the day of my visit, it was sunny on the way there and cloudy with light rain on the way back, allowing me to enjoy various forest landscapes.

Lastly, our guide, Mr. Minida, was truly excellent. Thank you very much.

白谷雲水峡は朝遅めのスタートでも十分回れる行程ですが、早朝出発がおすすめです。
なぜなら
・人が少なく自然を独り占めできる。誰もいない森は素晴らしい。
・山は午前中晴れることが多い。気温の上がる午後は曇りがち。
・日の出前の静けさと、陽が射し始めて光が入り始めた森が美しい。
などなど多くのメリットがあるから。
当日は行きは晴れ、帰り道で曇りから小雨と、様々な森の風景を堪能することができました。

最後に、ガイドの箕田さんが実に良かったです。ありがとうございました。

This is a convenient sightseeing bus that allows you to efficiently and reasonably visit famous spots. Two years ago, I took it once with my mother, and it was so good that I rode it again with a friend who was visiting Okinawa for the first time.

This time, since it was just after the rainy season, it was quite hot, but I was able to enjoy stunning views from a seaside café and ride a glass-bottom boat, which offered a different experience from my last visit.

I would love to ride it again if the opportunity arises.

名所を効率よく、なおかつリーズナブルに回れる便利な観光バスです。２年前に母と一度乗った時に、とても良かったので沖縄が初めての友達と再び乗車しました。
今回は梅雨明け直後ということもあり、かなり暑かったですが海辺のカフェで絶景を眺めたり、グラスボートに乗れたりと、前回とは違う楽しみ方もできました。
また、機会があったら乗ってみたいです。

I participated in a mother-daughter trip on the last day of our Okinawa vacation. It was a perfect plan to visit the places I wanted to see, such as the Seifa Utaki and the Himeyuri Monument. I thought it would have been nice to also see the Peace Memorial Park since it was nearby, but overall, it was a satisfying tour.

母娘旅行、沖縄旅行最終日に参加しました。
行ってみたかった斎場御嶽、ひめゆりの塔を回るちょうどよいプランでした。
平和祈念公園も近いから見れてもよかったかな～と思いましたが、全体的に満足なツアーでした。

I had never been to Sefa Utaki, so I decided to join the tour. There were several pickup locations in Naha City, which was convenient as I could choose a nearby spot. However, the pickup was about 10 minutes late, which I thought was typical Okinawa time. The tour itself was great, as there was a guide who shared a lot of interesting information. Since we visited Sefa Utaki first thing in the morning, it was not crowded, allowing us to take our time and really appreciate the site!

斎場御嶽に行ったことがなかったので参加させて頂きました。
那覇市内のピックアップ場所が数カ所あり近場を選べるので有り難かったです。
ただピックアップが１０分ほど遅れたのはやはり沖縄タイムだなと思いました。
ツアー自体はガイドさんもいらっしゃり色々と御話をうかがえてとても良かったです。
斎場御嶽も朝一番だったので空いていてじっくり見ることができて良かったです！

From the moment I entered the forest, everything felt like the world of Princess Mononoke. I'm really glad I went. While drinking miso soup made with Yakushima water prepared by our guide, I sat on the tree roots and enjoyed my lunch. It was such a luxurious time...
I felt so healed being away from the city. Thank you very much.

森に入った瞬間から、全部がもののけ姫の世界でした。本当に行って良かったです。ガイドさんが屋久島の水で淹れてくれたお味噌汁を飲みながら、木の根っこに座ってお弁当。贅沢な時間すぎて....。
都会から離れて、とても癒されました♩
ありがとうございました。

I had plenty of time to see Seifa Utaki. At Okinawa World, with limited time, you will have to choose between seeing a show or the limestone caves.

せーふぁうたきはたっぷり見る時間があった。沖縄ワールドは、時間が少なくショーか鍾乳洞のどちらかを見る形になる。

I met a whale. I was able to take great photos and videos with my smartphone. I found myself wanting to get closer, see it bigger, and for longer, but I was satisfied to see its back swimming multiple times and to witness it spouting water. I was worried about seasickness, but I had no problems at all. I would like to participate again.

クジラに会いました。スマホで写真も動画もばっちり取れました。もっと近くで、もっと大きく、もっと長く、と欲が出ますが、何度も泳いでいる背中を見て、潮を吹くところも見られたので満足です。船酔いが心配でしたが、全く問題ありませんでした。また参加したいです。

It was a great tour because we were taken to the sightseeing spots by bus, and since it was only half a day, we could schedule other plans for the afternoon!

観光名所にバスで行ってもらい、しかも半日なので、午後にはまた違う予定を入れることができ良いツアーでした！

It was difficult to make a reservation in advance. I had heard that there were many foreigners. Even when I tried to make a reservation directly, it was quite challenging, but I was able to easily book through this site. Additionally, there were many foreigners on the vehicle, and the meeting place felt like it could have been at the Eiffel Tower in Paris due to the number of foreigners. On the day of the experience, the weather was also favorable, and I had a great time.

事前に予約が困難なこと。外国人が多いことを聞いていました。直接予約をしても中々予約ができなかったのですがこのサイトからは簡単に予約ができました。また、車内は外国人が多く、集合場所はまるでパリのエッフェル塔での集合場所かな？と思わせるほど外国人が多かったです。当日は、天候にも恵まれ楽しい体験ができました。

I participated with my 55-year-old mother and brother, making a team of three. Plus, there was one more woman of the same age as my mother, so we had a team of five. (At the Iwasaki Hotel where we were staying, they kindly replaced our breakfast buffet with packed lunches for trekkers.)

Our guide provided appropriate breaks, and during the climb, he caught insects and explained the plants, and before we knew it, we arrived at Taiko Rock. Along the way, we received advice on how to walk and tips like "grab here and climb!" and we finished the tour without any injuries.

Fortunately, it didn't rain while we were climbing, and although there were some clouds at Taiko Rock, the weather was clear. It started to rain a bit when we were descending. I felt lucky to enjoy both the sunny and rainy worlds of moss and cedar.

The woman who came alone mentioned that she had gone on a Jomon Sugi tour the day before, but she found this Taiko Rock tour to be much more enjoyable, saying that if you’re going to participate, this one is definitely the way to go!

Our guide, Mr. Yamaguchi, was incredibly experienced and made the experience fantastic. Thank you very much. We gathered at the supermarket at the foot of the mountain at 6 AM and disbanded around noon.

55歳の母親と兄と自分の3人で参加しました。プラスお一人でいらしてた母と同年代の女性の方で5人チームでした。(宿泊していたいわさきホテルにて、朝食バイキングをトレッキング者向けに朝と昼のお弁当に代えていただきました。)
ガイドの方に適度な休憩を挟んでいただき、登山中も虫を捕まえたり植物のご説明をしてくださってあっという間に太鼓岩まで到着しました。
途中、歩き方やココを掴んで登って！などといったアドバイスもいただき怪我も無くツアーを終えました。
運良く登りは雨が降らず、太鼓岩では多少の雲はあるものの晴天、下山のときに一時雨が降ってきました。晴れと雨の二つの苔と杉の世界を楽しめてラッキーでした。
お一人様でいらしてた女性は前の日に縄文杉ツアーに行かれてたそうですが、この太鼓岩ツアーのほうが何倍も楽しく、参加するなら断然こっち！とのことでした。
経験豊富なガイドの山口さんが大当たりでした。ありがとうございました。
6時に麓のスーパーに集合、12時頃に解散となりました。

I was looking for a day trip to Sefa Utaki and booked this tour. It was a very relaxed tour, basically providing transportation, explanations on the bus, and guidance to the entrance of the sightseeing points, allowing us to explore freely within the time given, which was great as it made it easy to spend time without feeling awkward with other participants.

Since I had some time before my return flight, I enjoyed a leisurely breakfast at the hotel and took a bath before the afternoon departure. I would have been even happier if there had been an arrangement that allowed for a stop along the way at my own timing, so I could continue sightseeing in the afternoon (I went to Okinawa World, so I wanted to see the nearby Gyokusendo Cave as well).

I hope there will be other routes available for participation the next time I visit Okinawa.

斎場御嶽に行ける日帰りツアーを探しており、こちらを予約しました。基本的に送迎とバス内での説明、観光ポイントの入り口までの案内であとは時間内で自由に見てきてくださいねというツアーなのでとても気楽で他の参加者の人とのお互い気を使うことなく過ごせてよかったです。
帰りの便まで時間があったので、ホテルで朝ゆっくりと朝食を取って、お風呂に入ってからの午後発コースがあったり、自身のタイミングで途中下車可能で午後もまだ観光ができるようなアレンジプランがあればもっと嬉しかったかなと。（おきなわワールドまで行ったのですぐそばのガンガラーの谷も見たかった）
また次回沖縄に遊びに行った際にも参加できるような別ルートも期待しています。

I participated on the last day of my first trip to Okinawa. The main goal was to visit the Seifa Utaki, but I was also able to efficiently visit other tourist spots, which was great.

初めての沖縄旅行の最終日に参加しました。一番の目的は斎場御嶽でしたが、他の観光地も効率よく回れてとてもよかった。

I participated on June 28. I've been to Okinawa dozens of times, so I didn't think I needed a sightseeing bus at this point, but I found that this tour was cheaper than taking the local bus to and from the airport when I planned to stop by New Higa Beach on my return day. The price of 1,400 yen is astonishing.

To be honest, I wasn't expecting much, but veteran Okinawa beauty bus guide Ito-san was wonderful. Right after departure, they started collecting the fare, and once that was done, they immediately began sharing various stories. The content was truly impressive, as expected from a veteran. I won't spoil the fun by writing too much here, so please do join the tour. I realized that some things I thought I knew were actually wrong, which was an eye-opener. Thank you for a fun half day!

6月28日に参加しました。沖縄には何十回も行っているのでいまさら観光バスでもないのですが、帰る日に新原ビーチに寄って行こうと思ったら路線バスで往復して空港へ行くよりもこのツアーの方が安いのです。1,400円という料金は驚異的ですね。
実は期待していなかったのですが、ベテラン沖縄美人バスがイトさんが素晴らしいです。発車後すぐに料金の徴収から始まって、それが終わるとすぐにあれこれと話してくれます。その内容がさすがはベテランなのです。ここで書いてしまっては楽しみが半減するのでぜひツアーに参加してください。知ってるつもりだったことが間違えて覚えていたりして目からウロコです。楽しい半日をありがとうございました。

an awesome experience for our kids and we really enjoy it :-)

I felt the wind like I was on a roller coaster, and it was more enjoyable than I imagined. I think the good weather contributed to that as well.

ジェットコースターに乗っているように風を感じられて想像以上に楽しく満喫出来ました。お天気が良かったのでそれも良かったことの一因だと思います。

You can visit various tourist attractions in Okinawa by bus. It's amazing satisfaction for just 1,400 yen. However, the time spent at each spot tends to be short, so it might feel a bit rushed for those who want to take their time.

バスで沖縄の観光名所を、次々に回れます。たった1400円なのにすごい満足感です。ただ一つ一つのスポットの滞在時間はどうしても短くなってしまうので、ゆっくり回りたい人には少し忙しいかも。

I was wondering what to do before my flight from Naha at 3 PM. Until the day before, I had been enjoying the resort, so I wanted to do some sightseeing on the last day and immediately signed up for this tour. First of all, I was satisfied with the low price! There were two guides, both of whom had just joined in April. They were still inexperienced, but their earnestness came through. Lastly, on the bus heading to the airport, they performed Okinawan folk songs accompanied by the sanshin, which was very moving. Thank you very much.

15時那覇発のフライトまでに何をしようか悩んでいました。
前日まではリゾートを満喫していたので、
最終日は観光したいと思っており、このツアーを見つけ即申し込みました。
まず格安で満足！
ガイドさんは4月入社ということで2人でした。
2人ともまだ拙いガイドでしたが、懸命さが伝わりましたし、
最後に、空港に向かうバスの中で、
三線演奏付きの沖縄民謡を生披露してくれたのはとても感動しました。
ありがとうございました。

On the last day, I participated before my afternoon flight.

It was easy and inexpensive, and the guide explained various facilities and life in Okinawa while we were on the bus, which I thought was better than going around on my own. I found the stories about Okinawa's unique graves particularly interesting (laughs).

Since it was a large bus, it was fine to bring a suitcase. It was convenient to be dropped off at the airport.

最終日、午後のフライト前に参加しました。

手軽で安いのはもちろん、ガイドさんが車内で各施設や沖縄の暮らしなどを説明してくれるので、個人で回るより良かったと思います。特に沖縄ならではのお墓の話、興味深かったです（笑）

大型バスなのでスーツケース持参でOK。空港で降ろしてもらえて便利でしたー。

I used this service on the last day of my week-long trip. The veteran tour guide was very good at communicating, and I was able to enjoy the ride. It's recommended because you can visit various highlights in a short time. The last stop, the Himeyuri Monument, was especially worthwhile to visit, aside from the beaches during my trip to Okinawa. The atmosphere was different. Thinking about the young people with high aspirations who suffered there, I couldn't help but feel tears come to my eyes before I could even process why they had to endure such hell. I believe more people should come and learn about this place. Next time, I want to take my time exploring the museum at my own pace. I think this tour is great for those who want to visit many affordable and worthwhile places.

一週間旅行の最終日に利用しました。
ベテランの添乗員さんがとてもお話がうまく、乗車中も楽しむ事ができました。
短時間で最後に色々なおすすめポイントを周る事ができるのでおすすめです。最後のひめゆりの塔は沖縄旅行の中でも海以外のポイントで特に行けて良かったです。空気が違いました。自分より若く志の高い人達の事を思うとなぜこんな地獄を味わわないといけないのか、そんな風に考えるより先に空気で伝わってきて涙が出ました。もっと多くの人が来て知るべき所だと思います。
また、今度は自分のペースでゆっくり資料館を見に行きたいです。
安くて見ごたえがある所にたくさん行きたい方にはおすすめのツアーだと思います。

This half-day tour is a great deal for a first-time trip to Okinawa. I think the cost performance is high. I participated alone, but I didn't have to worry about others and was able to relax. The guide provides explanations, so you can enjoy sightseeing without having to think about anything.

初めての沖縄旅行にはこの半日ツアーは大変お得です。コストパフォーマンスが高いと思います。私は1人参加でしたが、特に周りに気を使う訳でもなく、ノンビリして来ました。ガイドさんが説明してくれるので何も考えず観光できます。

I participated alone as a male.
If there was no fog, the view from Taiko Rock might have been wonderful, which is a bit disappointing, but the mossy forest in the light rain healed all that regret.
I was also really happy to meet Mr. Suzuki from Kyoto.
The guide, Mr. Shimonozono, was very accommodating, and I had a great time.
Thank you very much.

by YU-TA from Taiwan

男性一人で参加しました。
霧がないなら太鼓岩からの景色は素晴らしいかもしれん、
ちょっと残念したが、
小雨の苔むす森はあんな悔しさをすべて癒した。
そして京都からの鈴木さんに会ったこともすごい嬉しいです。
ガイド下園さんが本当に対応良くて、楽しかったです。
本当にありがとうございました。

by台湾のYU-TA

Each segment of time was short. I wanted to take a little more time to look around.

I was satisfied because I could get off the tour midway and go to Kangaroo Valley freely.

It was just right for me, as I don't have legs.

一つ一つの時間が短い。
もうちょっとゆっくり見たかった。

途中でツアーから降りてカンガラーの谷に行ったり自由にできたから満足

足のない私にはちょうど良かった。

Saijō Gushikawa has limited bus services, making it difficult to visit individually due to time constraints, but this tour covers the highlights of the southern region (including Saijō Gushikawa) thoroughly in half a day, which was very helpful. It was a very fulfilling half-day tour. They also provide transportation back to the airport, so for those with flights after 2:00 PM, it’s a great option for the last day of your trip. I highly recommend this tour.

斎場御嶽はバスの本数が少なくて個人で行くのは時間的に難しかったのですがこのツアーは南部の名所（もちろん斎場御嶽も）をしっかり半日で回ってくれるので助かりました。とても充実した半日ツアーでした。帰りは空港まで送迎もしてくれるので、フライトが14：00以降の人は旅行の最終日に良いと思います。とてもお勧めなツアーです。
