All Reviews for Transport & City Passes

I was able to thoroughly explore Miyako Island, Ikema Ohashi, Irabu Ohashi, Irabu Island, and Shimoji Island in six hours. Our driver, Mr. Anzai, did a great job introducing the spots and managing the schedule, making it very efficient in terms of both time and cost. I would like to use this service again when I visit next time.

宮古島、池間大橋、伊良部大橋、伊良部島、下地島を6時間でじっくり観光することができました。ドライバーの安斎さんがキチンとスポット紹介やスケジュール管理をして下さり、時間的にもコスト的にも大変効率的でした。再訪時にも利用したいと思います。

It would be really convenient if our schedule matched the bus timetable! Since there are few buses, we ended up waiting a lot...

自分たちの予定とバスの時刻表があっていたらすごく便利！本数が少ないので、バス待ちの時間などは出ました…

I recommend this for those who want to do various sightseeing in one day! Since the service area is centered around the city, I wish the pass could be used from Itami Airport.

The Rakuten SIM sometimes took a long time to reload the QR code at underground ticket gates in places like Umeda, and there were times when it didn't display at all. Even if you prepare it in advance, the QR code's validity can expire in just a few seconds, so it might not be usable when passing through the ticket gate. I felt that the convenience of this ticket depends on the signal conditions.

1日色々な観光をする方にはおすすめです！利用区間が府内中心のため、伊丹空港からパスが利用できればいいのになぁと思いました。
楽天SIMは梅田など地下の改札ではQRコードのリロードに時間がかかり表示されないこともありました。早めに用意しても数十秒でQRの有効期限が切れるので改札を通るときには利用できなくなっていることもあり、電波状況によって利便性が左右されるチケットと思いました。

When boarding the bus, I presented the voucher and exchanged it for a paper free pass, which was a smooth process. Unlike the digital free passes sold by other companies, I don't need to open the app every time I get on or off, which is great. I already got my money's worth just by traveling from the airport to Kabira Bay and Ishigaki city.

バス乗車時にバウチャーを提示し、紙のフリーパスに交換しますがスムーズに引き換え出来ました。
他社販売のデジタルフリーパスと違い、毎回乗降時にアプリを開く必要がないので良いです。
空港〜川平湾〜石垣市街地の移動だけで元が取れました。

I showed my smartphone screen when boarding and received a round-trip ticket. It was convenient since I didn't need any coins and the price was discounted, making it a great deal. I want to use it again next time.

乗車時にスマホ画面を見せて、往復乗車券をもらいました。小銭もいらないのと割引価格なのでお得でした。次回も使いたいです。

We visited for our honeymoon. Since neither of us can drive, we found a service that provides taxi tours around tourist spots and decided to use it.

In conclusion, we are very glad we made this request! We chose a 6-hour course and had no specific plan, so we let the driver take us around. Not only did we visit famous places, but we were also guided to stories and locations that only locals would know along the way, which was very meaningful.

Although we visited several places in those 6 hours, the time at each spot was short, but it was just right for someone as impatient as me, haha. If we have the opportunity to use this service again, I think it would be nice to research the places we want to visit in advance!

I highly recommend this for anyone visiting Miyako Island for the first time and wanting a guided tour!

Thank you very much! ^ ^

新婚旅行で伺いました。
夫婦共に車の運転ができないのでタクシーで観光地を回ってくださるサービスを見つけ、利用させてもらいました。

結論、ご依頼してよかったです！
今回私たちは6時間コースでノープランだったので運転手の方にお任せで回ってもらいました。
有名どころはもちろんですが、観光地に向かう道中で地元の方しか知らないようなお話や場所に案内していただき、とても有意義でした。

6時間で数箇所回ってもらったため、各所は短時間でしたがせっかちな私にはちょうど良かったです笑
次もし利用させてもらう機会があれば、行きたいところリサーチして回っていただくのもありかなと思っております！

宮古島は初めて、ガイドさん付きで回りたいみたいな方にはとてもおすすめと思います！

ありがとうございました^ ^

Just showing the reservation confirmation screen to the driver is very convenient, as I don't have to carry cash and can make purchases cashless.

予約確認書画面を運転手さんに提示するだけ、現金を持ち合わせなくてキャッシュレスで購入でき大変便利です。

With this free pass, I was able to travel around Ishigaki Island mostly by bus~＼(^o^)／ Even just the round trip from Ishigaki Airport to the island terminal was worth it, and I was so happy to be able to go to Kabira Bay and Tamatorizaki Observatory too♡

こちらのフリーパスで 石垣島をほぼバスで 周る事が出来ました～＼(^o^)／
石垣空港から 離島ターミナル往復だけでも 充分 元が取れるのに 川平湾や玉取崎展望台まで 行けて 嬉しかったです♡

I used my accumulated points to take an unlimited ride bus for a day to Kabira Bay. On the way back to the city, it was a very pleasant bus trip while enjoying the scenic views along the coast.

溜まっていたポイントを使って1日乗り放題バスで川平湾へ行きました。市内に戻る際に海沿いの景色を見ながらすごく心地のいいバス旅でした。

It was a 2-night, 3-day trip, and I fully utilized my time sightseeing at places like Kabira Bay, Ishigaki, Imai Village, and the limestone caves. I felt reassured since I had purchased everything in advance.

2泊3日の旅でしたが、川平湾や石垣やいま村、鍾乳洞など、観光する際にフルに利用しました。あらかじめ購入していたので安心でした。

Our driver patiently waited for us at the port because our disembarkation from the cruise ship took longer than expected. They also called us to double check due to the delay. Highly recommend this service when visiting Miyakojima!

The driver I requested for the sightseeing taxi shared historical facts and local dialects with me. It was so much fun, and the five hours flew by in no time. I could feel the heartfelt service and the love for Miyako Island that the driver had. I definitely plan to come back to Miyako Island next year, and I intend to request the sightseeing taxi again at that time.

観光タクシーをお願いした運転手さんが、史実や現地の方言など教えてくださいました。とても楽しくて、あっという間の5時間でした。心のこもったサービスと、宮古島を大切に思っておられるお気持ちが伝わってきました。来年も必ず宮古島に来ようと思います。その時は、また観光タクシーをお願いするつもりです。

I used this for a 2-night, 3-day trip to Ishigaki Island. This time, I maximized the use of buses without renting a car. I was able to purchase a 5-day free pass from Higashi Unyu for just 2000 yen, and I could earn and use points from Veltra, which was very convenient. I also used it to visit Hirakubo Misaki Lighthouse, and I was able to enjoy it at a leisurely pace.

2泊３日の石垣島旅行に使用しました。今回はレンタカーを使用せずにバスを最大限に使ってみました。東運輸の5日間使用できるフリーパスがたった2000円で購入できて、ベルトラのポイントも貯まるし使えるし、とても便利でした。平久保崎灯台に行くのにも使用しとてもゆっくりと楽しめました｡

I participated in a 2-night, 3-day baseball camp tour. Since it was my son and grandson's third time, we wanted to take the opportunity to do some sightseeing in Okinawa, so we went our separate ways. This was my first time in Okinawa, and I was looking forward to it. However, my knees are bad, and I can't walk for long, plus I had no plans at all. I found out about sightseeing taxis online and quickly made a reservation. I hoped to visit the Churaumi Aquarium. Looking back, I was quite ignorant as I didn't even know how long it would take just by looking at the map.

The driver, Mr. Narisoko, was incredibly kind and took care of everything, even worrying about my legs. Thank you very much! He drove us along the regular roads of Okinawa, where we could see things like the sugarcane fields that we would never have seen on a sightseeing bus. We chatted the whole time, and it was a fun day. Next time, I want to make a solid plan and ask for your help again from the bottom of my heart. Thank you so much!

We started at 9:30 AM and communicated the places we wanted to visit, and they organized a plan for us. At the Churaumi Aquarium, my elderly mother, who has difficulty walking, was able to use the electric wheelchair service, which was very helpful. We were able to move around easily with minimal walking and the slopes were manageable. We made many memories together with my mother, enjoying things like Yaezakura cherry blossoms, tankan oranges, and sata andagi (Okinawan doughnuts). Thank you again! (^ - ^)/

Since it was a 24-hour stay with a plan for one night, I decided to purchase it because I could easily cover the cost just by traveling to and from the airport. In the end, I was able to extend my trip to Kabira Bay using the bus, which was really great.

１泊2日の予定で24時間以内の滞在だったので、空港往復するだけでも元が取れるので購入しました。結果的にバスを使って川平湾まで足を伸ばせたのでとても良かったです。

The 5-day free pass is a great deal 🉐. A round trip from the city to the airport is 1,120 yen, and considering unlimited rides on the island pass, it's cost-effective. You can earn points with credit card payments, and by posting your experiences, you can earn 100 points for each submission on Veltra.

5日間フリーパスは、お得🉐です。
市内⇄空港往復1,120円、島内パス乗り放題で考えてもコスパいい。

I toured various places by bus for a day. I also enjoyed the scenery from the window. The free pass was a great value, and I had a wonderful time!

1日バスでいろんなところを巡りました。車窓からの景色も楽しめました。フリーパスはコスパが良く、とても満喫できました！

The one-week line has two routes: one going east and the other going west. When I have time, I enjoy the scenery leisurely. For five days, 2,000 yen is a great deal! 🉐

一周線には、東回りと西回りの2路線あります。
時間があるときは、まったり景色を堪能しています。
5日間、2,000円は、お得🉐です。

If you're planning to explore Ishigaki Island using public transportation, this pass is very cost-effective and helpful. Just by visiting a few major spots like the airport round trip and Kabira Bay, you can quickly get your money's worth.

However, it's important to note that the bus frequency is extremely low. Some routes only have one bus per hour or even just a few buses every few hours, so if you're not careful, you could waste a lot of time waiting. I strongly recommend checking the latest timetable on the official Higashi Transport website in advance and planning your schedule down to the minute. It's especially crucial to have a flexible plan to avoid missing your return trip.

石垣島を公共交通機関で観光するなら、このパスは非常にコスパが良く、経済的で助かりました。空港往復や川平湾などの主要スポットを数ヶ所回るだけで、すぐに元が取れます。
ただし、注意が必要なのはバスの運行本数が極めて少ない点です。1時間に1本、あるいは数時間に1本しかない路線もあるため、行き当たりばったりだと待ち時間で大幅に時間をロスしてしまいます。東運輸の公式サイトで最新の時刻表を事前に確認し、分刻みでスケジュールを組んでおくことを強くお勧めします。特に帰りの便を逃すと大変なので、余裕を持った計画が大切です。

With credit card payments, you can also earn credit card points. For children, it's a great deal at just 1,000 yen! 🉐

This is a very economical bus pass that allows you to ride for a full five days (120 hours) for just 2000 yen. You show the Veltra voucher at your first boarding to receive your ticket. The boarding time is indicated, and from that point, you can ride for 120 hours. Depending on your boarding time, you can ride for up to six days.

You can also board from Ishigaki Airport, so there’s no waste. The second and third images show the places I visited by bus. However, there are quite a few bus stops with limited service, so you need to carefully check the timetable and plan your schedule. If you get the timing wrong, you may not be able to return to your hotel or the airport.

5日間ではなく、丸5日間（120時間）2000円でバスに乗車できる、とってもお得なバスのフリーパスです。
一番最初の乗車時にベルトラのバウチャーを見せて、チケットを貰います。乗車時間が出てるので、それから120時間乗車可能。
乗車時間次第で6日間乗車できます。
石垣空港からも乗車できるので、無駄がありません。
2・3枚目の画像は、バスで行ったところ。
ただ本数は少なめのバス停も結構あるので、時刻表をじっくり見て予定を組み立てる必要があります。
時間を間違えると、ホテルや空港へ戻れなくなります。

I made a reservation for a 6-hour course from Naha Airport. Initially, I had planned to visit Kouri Island and Uruma Pottery, but it was suggested that it would take too much time to travel those distances, so I was offered an itinerary that included Kouri Island, Manzamo, the Kyoda Roadside Station, and Tsuboya Yachimun Street.

Since I had never been to any of these places, the itinerary, which was not part of the bus tour, turned out to be enjoyable and created great memories. Unfortunately, it was rainy, but I had a wonderful time chatting with the taxi driver during the ride. I would like to use this service again.

那覇空港から6時間コースで予約を入れさせて頂きました。当初の予定は古宇利島、うるま陶器など行く計画を立てていましたが距離的にかなり時間を費やして勿体無いとのことで、古宇利島から万座毛、道の駅許田、壺屋やちむん通りのご提案を下さいました。
どこも行ったことがないため、バスツアーにない行程でどの場所も楽しくいい思い出になりました。生憎雨模様でしたがタクシーの中では運転手さんとの会話も弾み楽しい時間が過ごせました。また利用させて頂きたいと思います。

I thought I could manage to tour around Irabu Island, excluding Shimoji Island, in about five hours. The driver's knowledge was decent since he had moved there four years ago. We rushed a bit, and we barely managed to fit Irabu Island and Shimoji Island into five hours, but we kept our stay at each location short. Since the speed limit is low across the island, I was surprised at how slow we were going at first.

伊良部島下地島除きなら5時間でまわれるかなと思って設定した。運転手の知識は移住して4年ということでまぁまぁ。結構急ぎで行ったら伊良部島、下地島込みでギリギリ5時間で収まったが、1カ所の滞在時間は短めにした。島全体で車のスピードを出さないので、はじめはゆっくりで驚いた。

There are many hotels within walking distance from the island terminal, making it very convenient. The usage is also very simple. When boarding from the airport, show the voucher issued by Veltra to the driver and receive your ticket (round trip). The driver will detach the ticket when you get off, so please present it as is. The bus has a front boarding and rear alighting system.

離島ターミナルから徒歩圏内にはホテルがたくさんありますので便利です。利用方法もとても簡単です。空港から乗車する時にVeltra発行のバウチャーをドライバーさんに見せ、乗車券（往復）を受け取ってください。降車時にドライバーさんが乗車券を切り離しますので、そのまま提示してください。バスは前乗り前降りです。

It's convenient to visit tourist spots, local supermarkets, drugstores, and Don Quijote within the island. It's a great deal at 2000 yen for five days. You just need to show your ticket to the driver when you get on and off.

島内の観光地、地元のスーパー、ドラックストア、ドン・キホーテなどに行くのに便利です。5日で2000円はとてもお得です。乗る時、降りる時にチケットを運転手さんに見せるだけです。

I used the bus round trip between Ishigaki Port Terminal and the airport. Currently, it's 550 yen one way. It's nice that there's a total discount of 100 yen for a round trip! I would like to use it again in the future.

石垣港離島ターミナルと空港間のバス往復に利用しました。現在片道550円。往復で合計100円割引となるのは嬉しい！今後も利用したいです。

I used the service for two days! The driver made various suggestions to help us make the most of our time, and it truly became a fun trip! It was my first time in Okinawa, and I had no sense of the area at all. I had roughly communicated the sightseeing spots I wanted to visit, like the Churaumi Aquarium, but in addition to that, I received recommendations for great photo spots, restaurants, and useful information about Okinawa. Including the travel time, I was able to spend a very fulfilling time!

2日間利用させて頂きました！
利用時間の中で最大限楽しめるように運転手さんが様々な提案をして下さって本当に楽しい旅行になりました！！
沖縄に行くのは初めてで、土地勘も何も無い状態でした。美ら海水族館など行きたい観光名所は大まかに伝えていたのですが、それに加えて、オススメの写真スポットオススメのご飯屋さん、沖縄の役立つ情報なども教えて頂き、移動時間も含めてとても充実した時間を過ごすことができました！

Since tickets can only be purchased with cash on the bus and in the office, it was perfect for someone like me who prefers using cards! Also, I just had to show the ticket to the driver without having to scan it, so I could keep it in a transparent phone case and show it easily without losing it, which was very convenient!

バスの車内や事務所では現金でしか購入できないのでカード派の私にはピッタリでした！また、チケットをかざしたりせずに運転手さんに見せるだけなので透明なスマホケースに挟んでそのまま見せれて無くさず快適でした！

I used a private taxi with my elderly parents, as my mother walks slowly, and it was the right choice to go at our own pace. The driver listened attentively and politely to my parents' stories, and they enjoyed talking with a local (the driver), so I felt it was great to have a private service. I plan to use it again if the opportunity arises.

高齢の両親と一緒で、母親も歩行がゆっくりなので自分たちのペースで行ける貸し切りタクシーを利用させていただきましたが正解でした。運転手さんも両親の話をしっかり丁寧に聞いて下さり、地元の方（運転手の方）とのお話も両親は楽しんでいたので貸し切りにして良かったなと感じました。また機会がありましたら頼もうと思います。
