All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

When you think of Miyako Island, you might imagine the ocean, but the stars were just as amazing. I was able to see a night sky that far exceeded my expectations. The staff were friendly and pleasant, making the experience enjoyable for taking photos. The images were sent to me the next day. This became my favorite memory from the trip. I was also happy that my friends who went with me enjoyed it so much. I highly recommend it!

宮古島というと海のイメージですが、それと同じくらい星もとても最高でした。私の想像をはるかに超えた星空を見ることができました。担当の方は気さくで感じが良く、楽しく撮影することができました。画像は翌日に送ってもらえました。今回の旅で一番な思い出になりました。一緒に行った友人達にもとてと喜んでもらえたのでうれしかったです。かなりオススメです！

It was a perfect day with great conditions, and the photographer was very particular about the shoot! They were kind and their skills were top-notch! It became the best memory!

コンディションも最高の日でカメラマンさんもこだわって撮影してくれました！
親切だし技術も一流！
最高の思い出になりました！

First of all, I want to say that I highly recommend this!
This was my first trip to Miyako Island with my boyfriend, and it was also a birthday trip for me.
The starry night photo session was one of my birthday presents from him, and he was really looking forward to it as well.
The moment we got out of the car at the spot, I was captivated by the sky, realizing this is what a star-filled sky looks like.
The photographer who assisted us said, "Today is truly the best starry sky," and that alone moved me so much.
Seeing the photos he took made me even more emotional.
"How beautiful..." It's not often that I say such things about myself in photos, but he captured me so beautifully.
It's rare to have someone take photos of me, so I was nervous, but he kindly guided me, and I had a lot of fun during the shoot.
I got into the mood and asked him to take photos in a certain way, and he happily agreed, capturing some wonderful shots.
It became a really great memory.
Thank you, Ryota!

もう、最初に言いたい。とってもおすすめです！
今回彼との初めての宮古島旅行でわたしの誕生日旅行でもありました。
こちらの星空ナイトフォトは彼からの誕生日プレゼントのひとつで、彼自身もとても楽しみにしてくれていました。
スポットについて車を降りた瞬間。満天の星空ってこういうのを言うんだな、と空に釘付けになりました。
担当してくださったカメラマンさんにも今日は本当に最高の星空ですよ、と言ってただけてそれだけでもとても感動したのですが。
撮っていただいた写真を見てまたさらに感動。
『綺麗、、。』自分が写っていてそんなことを言うなんてなかなかないですが、本当にとても綺麗に撮っていただきました。
カメラマンさんに撮ってもらうことなんてそうそうないので緊張もしましたが、優しくリードしてくださり撮影中もとても楽しかったです。
気分が乗ってきて自分からこういう風に撮って欲しいですとお願いもしたのですが快くOKしてくださりとても素敵に撮ってくださいました。
とてもいい思い出になりました。
りょーたさんありがとうございました！

We participated as a couple. We were able to take many wonderful photos with the Scorpio constellation and the Milky Way perfectly captured. The time spent taking pictures in various poses under the starry sky became a lifelong memory. I'm really glad I signed up for this tour. The position of the stars changes depending on the season, the moon's position, and the time of day, so I would like to request another tour at a different time! Thank you very much!!

夫婦で参加しました。さそり座と天の川がばっちり写ったたくさんの素晴らしい写真を何枚も撮ってもらえました。満天の星空の下で、様々なポーズで写真を撮ってもらえる時間も一生の思い出になりました。
こちらのツアーに申し込んで本当に良かったです。時期や月の位置、時間帯によって星の位置は変わるので、今度は違う時期にまたお願いしたいと思ってます！ありがとうございました！！

The guide's stories were so interesting that time flew by! The night breeze felt nice, so I think it was more comfortable than the daytime kayaking. I definitely want to use this service again if I have the chance!

ガイドさんのお話がとても面白くて時間があっという間でした！
夜風も気持ち良かったので昼間のカヤックより快適に過ごせたかなと思います
ぜひまた機会があれば利用したいです！

I considered the time allocation for the children's restroom and walking pace, and I was always carrying them or moving at a brisk pace (laughs).

At Manzamo, there was a children's restroom, and my child was delighted♪ The sata andagi on the second floor was also delicious.

At Churaumi, we focused mainly on the dolphin show and the sea turtles, and decided to move quickly through the other areas!

The sandwich service was included, and the guide's humor-filled talk, along with singing folk songs and touching on history, made everything very satisfying!

On the way back, my child fell asleep, but when we got off, they helped carry our luggage and were very considerate^^ It became a memorable trip♪ I think it was an incredible deal.

時間配分は子どものトイレ、歩行ペースを考え、
常に抱えて歩いたり、かけ足気味でした(笑)


万座毛には【こどもトイレ】があり我が子は
喜んでいました♪2階のサーターアンダギーも
美味しかったです。

美ら海ではイルカショーとウミガメの辺りをメインに
他はサクサク進むと決めて周りました！

サンドイッチのサービスも着いていて
ガイドさんのユーモアあふれるトークも
民謡も唄って下さったり歴史にも触れられ
全て大満足です！

帰りは子どもが寝てしまいましたが降車時
荷物運んで頂いたり、気にかけて下さりました^^
思い出に残る旅となりました♪
とても破格だと思います

At Shinjo Coast, I encountered two sea turtles in the shallow beach where I could touch the bottom. I was able to swim right next to them and got some great photos, which made for wonderful memories.

However, we finished in one hour instead of the planned two hours. I did see some beautiful small fish, but if I could wish for more, I would have liked to see a larger school of small fish in a coral-rich area during the remaining time.

新城海岸は、遠浅のビーチで、底に手がつくほどのところで、２頭のウミガメに出会えました。すぐそばで泳ぐことができ、写真もバッチリ撮ってもらえて、良い思い出になりました。
時間的には予定の2時間ではなく、１時間で終了。
綺麗な小魚も少し見れましたが、欲を言えば、残りの時間で、サンゴの多いところで、もっとたくさんの小魚の群れも見れたら良かったなあと思いました。

At first, I was anxious because it was mostly young people and we had to stay still for 10 seconds, but thanks to Ryota's excellent assistance, we ended up with some really wonderful photos that became great memories for our 10th wedding anniversary. ⭐︎ Next time, I would like to bring other family members as well. Thank you very much!

最初は若いかたばかりだったのと10秒間じっとしていなきゃならいのが不安でしたが、りょーたさんの上手なアシストで、とっても素敵な写真が出来上がり、結婚10年のいい思い出になりました⭐︎
次回は、他の家族も連れてお願いしたいです。
本当にありがとうございました。

There were about 12 to 13 participants on the day, so the bus was spacious. We were able to visit the points efficiently, and it was a fun tour. The guide and the bus company staff were very pleasant and attentive. Next time, it seems like it would be even more enjoyable to explore with a rental car.

当日の参加者は１２−３ 人だったので、バスはゆったりできました。またポイントを効率良く回れ、楽しいツアーでした。ガイドさんもバス会社の人もとても感じがよく、気遣いも十分。
今度は、レンタカーで回ってみたら、より楽しめそうです。

A few years ago, my sister requested this service here and said it was great, so I made a reservation. The meeting time was at 12:30 AM, which felt a bit late, and the meeting place was down a dark road according to Google Maps, so I was a little anxious. However, the moment I arrived, I was amazed by the beautiful starry sky! The photographer, Ryota, was friendly and talked to us, and he played music, which helped us relax during the shoot. He asked us about the poses we wanted, so I recommend thinking about what you want if you have specific ideas (*^^*). We didn't have anything in mind, so we took the photos while following his directions, and they turned out wonderful! I would definitely like to request this again when I visit Miyako Island.

数年前に妹がここでお願いし、とても良かったとの事で予約しました。
集合時間は00時半と遅く、集合場所もGoogleMAPを参考に暗い道を進んで行くため少し不安でしたが、着いた瞬間に綺麗な星空が広がり感動しました！
カメラマンのりょうたさんには気さくに話しかけていただき、音楽もかけてくださりリラックスして撮影出来ました。やりたいポーズを聞いていただいたのでこだわりのある方などは考えておくのをおすすめします(*^^*)私たちは、考えていなかったので、指示してもらいながら撮りましたが素敵な写真になりました！
また宮古島を訪れた際は是非お願いしたいです。

The day before our visit to Miyako Island, it had been rainy. However, on the day of our reservation, we were greeted by a beautiful starry sky and wonderful staff. We took a taxi, and they welcomed us with flashlights, so we felt no anxiety even in the dark meeting place. We were able to see many stars and the Milky Way with the naked eye, but the photos sent to us the next morning sparkled with several times more stars than we saw in person, which was truly moving. The kind photographer even took care to ensure we had a taxi for our return. It became a wonderful memory.
We want to say a heartfelt thank you to the photographer, who is beautiful inside and out.

前日までは雨天だったという宮古島。予約の日はとてもきれいな星空と素適なスタッフさんが迎えてくれました。タクシーで行きましたが、フラッシュライトで合図しながら出迎えてくださり、暗い集合場所でも不安はありませんでした。肉眼でもたくさんの星と天の川を仰ぐことができましたが、翌朝送っていただいたお写真には、肉眼で見た星々の数倍も煌めいており感激致しました。帰りのタクシーの心配もしてくださるようなお優しいカメラマンさんでした。素適な思い出になりました。
We want to say a heartfelt thank you to the photographer, who is beautiful inside and out.

Starting with the friendly reception staff at the bus company, and the fun storytelling of our professional bus guide, Chieko, I’m really glad we chose this company! (I’m not sure if there are other companies in Ishigaki.) We were blessed with great weather and truly enjoyed the beautiful Ishigaki Island. But it was hot! The air-conditioned bus was a blessing! The only downside (?) was that the bus seats were a bit narrow for my American husband. But that’s just something he can fix by losing some weight! We were dropped off directly at the airport, and it was the perfect length for sightseeing. I highly recommend it. I hope you get Chieko as your guide!

バス会社のフレンドリーな受付の人達に始まり、プロのバスガイドの千恵子ちゃんの楽しい話っぷりと、この会社を選んでよかった！　(石垣に他の会社があるのかは知りませんが) 天気に恵まれ、本当に綺麗な石垣島を満喫できました。　でも暑かった〜。　キンキンに冷えたバスが有り難かった！　　唯一の難点(？)はアメリカ人の主人にはバスの椅子がちょっと狭かったかな〜？　でもこれは彼が痩せれば良い話です〜　　そのまま空港に降ろして頂き、ちょうど良い長さの観光でした。　お勧めです。　千恵子ちゃんにあたるといいね！

It was a short morning bus tour, but I really appreciated the guide's thoughtful care and the detailed explanations about Okinawa during the ride. Thank you very much.

短い午前中のバスツアーでしたが、ガイドさんの細やかな気遣いや車中では沖縄に関しての詳しい説明がとてもありがたく思いました。
ありがとうございました。

This tour was very fulfilling for the price and duration. The choice of sightseeing spots was satisfying, and I was able to enjoy it even as a solo traveler. Thank you very much.

今回のツアーは値段と時間の割にとても充実したツアーでした。どこも満足の行く観光地のチョイスで ひとり旅でも充分楽しめました。
ありがとうございました

Wow, I never expected to meet so many sea turtles up close like this! It was a tour that greatly exceeded my expectations, and I was absolutely, incredibly satisfied! I'll leave the details of the tour to the photos and other reviews, but here’s some information about the departure point (Shinjō Coast).

■ Meeting Time
Depending on the sea conditions on the day of the tour, you might receive a call the day before requesting a change. I had my time changed from 11:00 to 09:00.
■ Meeting Place
The meeting place is the light van parked in the parking lot.
■ Parking
There are both free and paid options (2,000 yen/day), but the free parking was full by 08:30.
■ Changing Rooms
There are three changing rooms each for men and women, which are public shower rooms as well. Since the storage shelves are high up, it's convenient to bring a waterproof bag (a plastic bag is fine) and a hook.
■ Shower Room
This is shared with the changing rooms. You can use the shower (only water?) for 100 yen for 5 minutes.
■ Toilet
The toilet is in the same building as the changing room/shower room.

To make the most of your time, I recommend wearing your swimsuit when heading to the tour departure point.

I received over 50 photos via LINE. I will definitely participate again next time!

いやー、こんなに近くで、しかも何匹ものウミガメさん達に会えるとは。。。
参加前の期待値を大幅に超えた、大大大満足のツアーでした！
ツアーの内容は写真と他のレビューにお任せするとして、ここではツアー出発地（新城海岸）の情報を少しお伝えします。

■集合時間
ツアー実施日の海の状況によって、変更を依頼する電話が前日にかかってくることがあります。
自分は11:00→09:00に変更になりました。
■集合場所
駐車場に駐車している軽のバンが集合場所です。
■駐車場
無料と有料（2,000円/日）がありますが、無料駐車場は08:30の時点で満車でした。
■更衣室
公設？のシャワー室兼用の更衣室が男性用、女性用とも3室ずつあります。
物置き用の網棚が高い位置にあるので、防水バック（レジ袋でOK）とフックを持っていくと便利です。
■シャワー室
更衣室と兼用です。
100円で5分間シャワー（水のみ？）が使えます。
■トイレ
更衣室/シャワー室と同じ建物にあります。

時間を有効に使うためにも、参加時は水着を着てツアー出発地に向かうことをお勧めします。

LINEで送っていただいた写真はなんと50枚以上。
次回も絶対参加しまーす！！

The stars were incredibly beautiful!! The staff was very kind and attentive! It seems like they offer other activities as well, and I thought I would like to try them next time I visit Miyako Island!! I definitely recommend everyone to give it a try ^_^

めちゃくちゃ星が綺麗でした！！お兄さんもすごく優しくて対応もよかったです！
星以外にもやってるみたいで、次に宮古島きたらお願いしたいなとおもいました！！
ぜひみなさんやってみてください^_^

We were able to relax and take photos while being guided on posing, all while our favorite music was playing!

たまたま私達がよく聞く音楽が流れる中、ポージングの指定もしてくださり、リラックスして撮影できました！

I'm satisfied with the wonderful photos that became great memories. The photographer was also interesting, and we had a fun time during the shoot. The stars were beautiful, and I enjoyed them even with the naked eye.

思い出になる素敵な写真が撮れて満足です。
カメラマンさんも面白く、楽しく撮影出来ました。
星も素敵な場所で肉眼でも楽しめました。

The weather forecast was completely rainy, so I participated without much expectation, but as we approached Cape Hedo, the sky suddenly cleared up, and the views from the two observation decks at the cape were amazing. Just seeing this scenery is worth it.

The rock formations at Obayashi Ishiyama are unique and not easily found elsewhere, and from the observation deck, we could also see Cape Hedo, which was breathtaking.

And above all, the taste of the sashimi at the port for lunch exceeded my expectations—it was incredibly delicious!

However, the tour guide spoke too quickly, making it hard to hear, and there was little explanation about the flow after getting off the bus or about the restrooms. It was disappointing that I had to ask again after getting off to understand. I would have appreciated some advice about walking a bit ahead. Also, when we went to the store, the conversation was mostly with the staff, which was awkward. I hope they can prioritize customer interaction a bit more and be more accommodating.

The scenery was fantastic, and the Okinawa rail was super cute, but if the tour guide had been more attentive, it would have made for an even better trip.

天気予報は完全に梅雨空で　あまり期待しないで参加しましたが　辺戸岬近づくと急に晴天になり　岬の2つの展望台が景色最高でした
この景色見るだけでも価値があります

大林石山も他ではあまり見ることができない奇岩怪石と展望台からも辺戸岬がみられ絶景でした

それと何と言っても　昼食の港食事の刺身の味が期待以上でした　めちゃ美味かった！

ただ添乗員の説明が早口で聞こえづらく　バスを降りてからの動線や　トイレの説明少なく　降りてからもう一度聞かなければわからないのが残念でした　　少し先頭で歩くとかアドバイスが欲しかったです　　お店にいくと店スタッフとばかりの会話も見苦しかったです　もう少し客の対応を優先すること考えてもっと寄り添ってください

景色が最高で　ヤンバルクイナもめちゃ可愛かったですが　添乗員の気配りがもっとあればより最高の旅になりましたよね

When I rode the water buffalo cart in Yufu, I was able to spend a very relaxed and peaceful time swaying gently in the slowly moving cart. I was impressed by how the water buffalo skillfully turned without colliding on the narrow paths of Taketomi Island.

由布・竹富島での水牛車に乗った際は、ゆっくりと進んでいく水牛車に揺られながらとてもゆったりとした穏やかな時間を過ごすことができました。
竹富島では細い道もぶつかることなく上手に曲がる水牛はすごいと感動しました。

Even if you don't know much about your travel destination, they suggested places you can visit within the time limit, making it a wonderful trip! I think it's more efficient than renting a car!

旅行先の事がわからなくても時間内で行けるところを提案してくれてとても良い旅行になりました！！
レンタカー借りるより効率良いと思います！

I thought it might be hectic, but it was nothing like that at all; I was able to fully enjoy the island for the first time. The food was delicious too!

バタバタかなぁと思いましたが全くそんなことは無く、初めての島を満喫できました^ ^
ご飯も美味しくてよかったです！

I was able to swim with sea turtles! My friend, who was a bit anxious about swimming, seemed to really enjoy it as well. The instructor was friendly and cool, and he took a lot of photos that I couldn't have captured myself.

ウミガメと一緒に泳げました！
泳ぎに不安のあった友人もとっても楽しめたようで良かったです。
インストラクターのお兄さんも気さくでかっこよく、自分では撮れない写真をたくさん撮っていただきました◎

On our free day during the group trip, we chartered a car for eight people. The driver arrived at the entrance ahead of time, greeted us, and confirmed our itinerary. They provided solid advice on whether our planned schedule was feasible and if we could return within the chartered time, which was very helpful! The driver had a wonderful smile and received great feedback from my companions! Although it was just a half-day tour, everyone was able to visit the places they wanted, creating great memories! I would like to use this service again when I come back to Okinawa!

団体旅行の自由行動日に8人で車をチャーターしました。ドライバーさんは時間前にはエントランスにお迎えに来て下さり、ご挨拶と同時に行程の再確認をしてくれました。自分たちで考えた行程に無理がないか、チャーターした時間内に戻れるかなどしっかりアドバイスもして下さりとても助かりました！
笑顔がとても素敵なドライバーさんで一緒に行った仲間達からもとても好評でした！半日の観光でしたが全員が行きたい所に行けて良い思い出づくりができました！また沖縄に来るときは利用したいと思います！

It was June, during the rainy season, so there were only four participants, including my husband and me. Although the number was small, the bus interior was relaxing, and the guide provided various explanations right after we boarded, which was enjoyable.

When visiting for sightseeing, it's easy to focus only on the fun aspects, and I usually don't get the chance to learn about the origins or history of Ishigaki Island. However, on this tour, I was able to hear about the origins of the Tomb of the Chinese and the tidal flow of Kabira Bay, see wild palm trees, and listen to stories about encounters with habu snakes, which was enjoyable. Of course, the guide also shared stories and songs passed down in Ishigaki Island, and I was most surprised by the guide's skill in playing the sanshin and singing! I even wondered if they might be a professional.

Out of the four participants, one person got off at Ishigaki Airport, but they seemed to have enjoyed themselves and waved goodbye to the bus with a smile. It’s a journey around Ishigaki Island that feels like it’s possible yet elusive, so I had a great time participating and learning various things.

6月の梅雨時だったせいか、当日は私たち夫婦を含めて４名の参加でした。人数が少なかったけれど、バス車内はゆっくりくつろげるし、乗車してすぐにガイドさんがいろいろ説明してくれて楽しかった。

観光で行くと楽しいことばかりに目が行ってしまって、石垣島の由来とか歴史なんて学ぶ機会はないですが、このツアーでは唐人墓の由来とか、川平湾の潮の流れとか、野生の椰子の木を見たりハブとの遭遇話など聞けて楽しかったです。もちろん、石垣島に伝わる話や歌も披露してくれて、実は一番びっくりしたのは、ガイドさんの三線と歌の上手さです！実はプロなんじゃないかな？と思ったくらいです。

参加者４名のうち、おひとりが石垣空港で下車されましたが、その方も楽しまれたようで笑顔でバスを見送ってくださいました。
石垣島をぐるっと島を巡る旅は行けそうで行けないので、今回参加していろんなことを聞けて楽しかったです。

Since we participated with 10 people, the schedule was efficient, and the time spent at tourist spots when getting off the bus was appropriate. The time spent at the Churaumi Aquarium was also just right, allowing everyone to enjoy themselves.

10名で参加したので、スケジュールが効率よくバス下車の際の観光スポット滞在時間も適切でした。美ら海水族館での滞在時間も適当で其々で楽しむことができました。

Although the weather was unfortunately sometimes pouring rain, the guide's explanations and songs were enjoyable. There were many water buffalo, each with their own personality, and the veteran, Rekio, that I rode was very cute with his silly antics, making me laugh several times along the way. I think if the weather had been better, I could have enjoyed the scenery even more, but I was more than satisfied just riding the water buffalo cart. Is there a possibility of a repeat to ride different water buffalo carts?

時折土砂降りのあいにくの天候ではありましたが、
ガイドさんの説明や歌が楽しかったです。
水牛は何頭もいて、それぞれ個性があるらしく、
私が乗ったベテランのレキオくんは、おとぼけぶりがとても
かわいく、道中何度も笑わせてくれました。
天気がよければ、もっと景色が楽しめたとは
思いますが、水牛車に乗るだけでも十分満足しました。
いろんな水牛車に乗るためにリピートもあり？？

It was my first time in Ishigaki Island, so I left it to the driver to take me around for sightseeing. They drove through the sugarcane fields, which saved us time, and took us to recommended spots. The driver was excellent. I also took a taxi on Okinawa Island, but the roads were congested, and it took a long time, so I couldn't see much. However, this experience was great.

初めての石垣島だったので、お任せして観光に回りましたがさとうきび畑の中を突っ走ってくれたりして、時間短縮してくれたしお勧めの場所も行ってくれて大変良い運転手さんでした。沖縄本島のタクシーも乗りましたが、混む道ばかりで時間ばかり掛かってあまり見る事が出来なかったですが、こちらは良かったです。

Thank you very much.
On the last day of our trip to Okinawa, we checked out and chartered a taxi for 5 hours until our departure.
Unfortunately, the weather turned rainy, but the private taxi had a high ceiling and plenty of legroom, making it very luxurious and comfortable for just the two of us.
It was convenient to be able to charge our devices via USB in the car as well.
We also appreciated that umbrellas were provided.
If the weather had been nice, it would have been even better, but the convenience made us forget about that.
I looked into various tours, but I think having a private experience is really nice.
Thank you for your assistance; I returned home safely.
Thank you very much again, and I hope to have the opportunity to use your services in the future.

ありがとうございました
沖縄旅行の最終日 チェックアウトして 出発までの5時間チャーターさせて頂きました
天気は あいにくの雨になってしまいましたが
貸切のタクシーは 天井高く足のスペースもとても広く2人では余裕があり とても贅沢かつ快適に乗らせて頂きました
車でUSBの充電なども出来て便利でした
また傘など用意して頂き助かりました
お天気が良ければ…もっと良かったと思いますが
そんな事も忘れる様な 便利さでした
色々なツアーなども見て検討してみたのですが
プライベート感もあり とても良いと思います
お世話になりました 無事に帰宅いたしました
どうもありがとうございました
また機会がありましたら どうぞ宜しくお願いします

Since I was traveling alone in Okinawa, I thought about renting a car but decided to join a tour instead. I was impressed by the detailed explanations of the history of Sefa Utaki. I was amazed by the power of Sefa Utaki, enjoyed Okinawa World, and it was a satisfying tour.

一人で沖縄旅行なので、レンタカーもどうかと思いツァーに参加しました。斎場御嶽の歴史をていねいに説明いただき、感激しました。斎場御嶽のパワーに驚き、沖縄ワールドも楽しみ、満足なツァーでしたしました
