All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

I used a sightseeing taxi for the first time, and I'm really glad I did! They took me to all the places I wanted to go and helped me do everything I wanted, making for a fulfilling day. I also requested a female driver, and they were very accommodating, which I really appreciated. The driver who assisted me was a wonderful person. I definitely want to use this service again.

初めて観光タクシーを利用したのですが、お願いをして本当に良かったです！！
行きたい場所全てに連れて行ってくださり、やりたいことを全てやることができ、充実した1日になりました。
また女性ドライバーさんをお願いしたいとの要望にも応えてくださり、大変ありがたかったです。担当してくださったドライバーさんが、とても素敵な方でした。ぜひまた利用したいです。

I came to Okinawa last March, but the weather was so bad that I couldn't fully enjoy it, so I came back for a revenge trip. The itinerary was packed, but the taxi driver was really accommodating, and we were able to go to almost all the places I wanted to visit.

Although it wasn't perfect due to the tight schedule and lack of time, I was almost satisfied with the day. Thank you for your help!

去年3月に沖縄に来たのに　天候が悪すぎて満喫出来なかったので　リベンジで来ました　みっちりの行程でしたがタクシーの運転手さんが　凄く合わせてくれて　希望のところに　ほぼ行けました
行程を詰めすぎたとこと　時間が足りなかった理由で　完璧まで少し満たなかったのですが…😓ほぼ満足の1日でした。
お世話なりました〜

I had a great time experiencing the culture of the mangroves and Kohama Island! Sou-ta the water buffalo! He carried me all the way to the end, even though he took a few breaks! I think I could go back countless times without getting bored!

マングローブや小浜島の文化に触れて
とても楽しかった！
水牛のソウタ君！何度かサボりながらも最後まで運んでくれました！
何度行っても飽きないと思う！

On the day of our return, we initially had a rental car reserved, but we found out that the meeting point for the regular sightseeing bus was near the hotel we were staying at, and that we could get off at the airport along the way, so we canceled the rental car. We were able to visit places we couldn't go to during the trip, like Kabira Bay and Tamatorizaki Observatory, through the bus tour, which allowed us to efficiently explore on the last day, and it was a lot of fun.

　帰る日に当初はレンタカーを予約しておりましたが、宿泊予定していたホテル近くが定期観光バスの集合場所で、空港で途中下車できる事がわかり、レンタカーはキャンセルしました。
　旅行中に行けなかった川平湾や玉取崎展望台にもバスツアーで行け、最終日に効率よく廻れ、楽しかったです。

You ride a water buffalo cart for about 30 minutes while taking in the town's scenery, and the sight of the red-tiled houses and bougainvillea blooming against the stone walls gives you a strong tropical vibe! The buffalo driver explains the town and even sings, which is entertaining. It's a great way to experience the best of each island, making it an excellent value for beginners. Personally, I felt that I would have liked a bit more time on Taketomi Island.

30分くらい水牛車に乗って街並みを観て周るのですが、赤瓦の家並み、石塀にブーゲンビリアが咲き乱れていて南国感半端ないです！牛使いさんが街の説明をしてくれたり、歌ってくれて面白い。各島のいいとこどりなので、初心者にはコスパ最強かと。個人的には竹富島でもう少し時間があればなぁと感じたかな。

The driver was a local and very kind, and he was flexible in responding to our requests regarding the destination, which was helpful.

However, there were a few points that differed from our expectations.

1. The vehicle was a van type instead of a sedan. While a van isn't a problem in itself, we chose this plan because my wife tends to get car sick, so we intended to upgrade the vehicle. However, the vehicle we had on the day seemed to have issues; it was very uncomfortable to ride in, and my wife ended up feeling car sick. I don't think this was due to the driver's driving skills. The shifting seemed to be constantly in 2nd or 3rd gear, leading to a very tiring ride for both of us.

2. At each sightseeing spot, there was hardly any commentary or explanation from the driver.

3. It might be due to the 8-hour time constraint, but there was no information or recommendations for particularly hidden gem restaurants or attractions beyond what you would find in a typical guidebook.

ドライバーさんは地元の方でとても親切で、目的地などについてはこちらの要望に柔軟に答えて頂き助かりました。

しかしながら、以下の点についてはイメージや期待していた内容と違っていました。

①車はセダンではなくバンタイプの車両でした。別にバンタイプでも問題はないのですが、
もともとこのプランを選択した理由として、妻が車酔いしやすい方なので車のグレードを上げたつもりでした。しかし、当日の車両は調子が悪かったのか？？、非常に乗り心地が悪く車酔いしていましました。これはドライバーさんの運転技術では決してない思います。
シフトギヤーが、常に２ｎｄか３ｒｄで走行しているような加減速走行で、二人ともとても疲れてしまいました。

②各観光地では、ドライバーさんによる観光案内/説明などはほとんどありませんでした。

③8時間という制約などで仕方がないのかもしれませんが、特に穴場的なレストランや観光地など、一般的なガイドブック以外の情報やリコメンドなどはなかったです。

I had some anxiety about traveling alone, but I was picked up as requested, and the arrangement was perfect. The driver's hospitality, sightseeing guidance, and appropriate distance were wonderful, making it a great memory. Thank you very much!

一人旅の不安もあり事前に相談させていただいたリクエスト通りの配車でお迎えにきていただきました。
ドライバーさんのホスピタリティ、観光案内、適度な距離感が素晴らしく、とてもいい思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました！

The guidance was very clear, allowing us to board without any confusion, and we smoothly got onto the water buffalo cart. Unfortunately, I hadn't made a reservation for a bicycle rental in advance, so I couldn't ride around the island as I wanted, but my whole family was able to have a fulfilling time.

案内も非常に明確で迷うことなく乗船でき、スムーズに水牛車にも乗れました。事前に自転車レンタルの予約をしてなかったので、自転車で島を一周まわりたかったけどできなかったのが残念でしたが、家族一同充実した時間を過ごすことができました。

The location and timing for the shoot were blessed with great weather, allowing us to see many stars, which was thrilling. We had more shooting time than expected and were able to capture five poses, and I was satisfied with the data provided. After the shoot, we talked about dining and sightseeing spots in Miyako Island, and I received information via LINE as well. The service was excellent, and I was very satisfied!

撮影する場所・時間が天候に恵まれ沢山の星が見られ感激。
思ってた以上の撮影時間で5ポーズを撮って頂きデータも満足するものでした、撮影後も宮古島での食事・観光ポイントの話しをしたりLINEでも情報をもらい、とっても良い対応をして頂き大満足！

We loved the firefly trip because we've never seen so many of them in one place before. They seemed so beautiful and mysterious, accompanied by the heavenly sounds and smells of the forest at night.
We highly recommend this tour for any age of guest. The tour leader was brilliant and we understood everything although we do not really fully understand Japanese. We were also able to book quickly on the day of the tour, online, and this was really convenient.
Thank you again for the experience of a lifetime.

The weather was very bad, and the ferry on the way there was rocky, which made my elderly mother feel seasick and uncomfortable. However, she was happy to see the ox carts on Yufu Island, which she had long admired, and we took many memorable photos that we ended up purchasing.

The lunch was delicious, and we were satisfied with it. Although our time was short, we enjoyed our stroll around the area.

However, after being taken by bus to the ferry terminal for our return trip, there was no guidance at all, and we didn't know what to do. Reluctantly, I asked someone from another company, but they also said, "I don't know because it's a different company." In the end, we could have just boarded the ferry that was docked, but without any guidance, it was quite confusing.

At the very least, I would have appreciated an email or instructions from the staff we spoke with at the Ishigaki ferry terminal on the way there, indicating that there would be no one to guide us on the return trip and that we should board the ferry on our own.

天候が大変悪く、行きのフェリーが揺れたため、同行の高齢の母が船酔いして辛そうだった。しかし由布島の牛車などは長年憧れだったので喜んでいたし、記念写真もよく撮れていて購入していた。
昼ご飯も美味しく満足だったし、短い時間ではあったが散策も楽しめた。
しかし、帰りフェリーターミナルまでバスで送迎してもらった後、一切案内が無くどうすればいいのか分からなかった。しかたなく他社の係の人に尋ねたがその人も「会社が違うので分からない」と。結局は停泊しているフェリーに勝手に乗れば良かったのだが、何もガイドが無いとさすがに分からない。
せめてメールでもいいし行きに石垣のフェリーターミナルで話した係員でも構わないから、帰りは誘導する人は誰もいないが勝手にフェリーに乗船するようにと指示しておいてほしかった。

It was a 4-hour tour of Ishigaki Island. Despite the less-than-ideal weather, the driver skillfully drew out our interests, making for a very enjoyable time. In particular, there was a wealth of knowledge and insight regarding plants and nature, and I learned a lot in a fun way. I also appreciate the polite and enthusiastic guidance.

石垣島4時間のツアーでした。天気がイマイチの中、ドライバーさんがこちらの興味をうまく引き出して頂いて大変楽しい時間になりました。とりわけ、植物、自然に関する知識、見識が豊富で楽しく学ぶことが多くありました。また丁寧、熱心なご案内にも感謝申し上げます。

I was hesitant to join because the distance to Churaumi Aquarium was quite far, but I'm glad I participated. On the day of the tour, the weather was great, and the sea visible from Churaumi Aquarium was incredibly beautiful. Although the aquarium was crowded, we had 2 hours and 30 minutes, which felt just right and not rushed at all. However, the hour at Pineapple Park felt a bit excessive, as I had some spare time. Overall, I was taken to various sightseeing spots efficiently and was able to enjoy myself.

美ら海水族館まで距離があるので参加を迷っていましたが、参加して良かったです。
ツアー当日は天気が良く、美ら海水族館から見える海も最高に綺麗でした。
美ら海水族館は混雑していましたが、2時間30分あったので物足りない感じは無く、ちょうど良い時間だったと思います。
ただパイナップルパークの1時間は、ちょっと時間を持て余す感じでした。
効率良く色々な観光名所に連れて行ってもらえ、楽しむ事ができました。

We had to change our snorkeling plans to Waiwai Beach due to high waves and winds at Shinjo Coast, but we were able to see adorable sea turtles right in front of us, and the beautiful fish swimming around the coral reefs exceeded our expectations. Our instructor, So-chan, was very reliable, allowing us to focus on observing underwater with peace of mind. He was also great at taking photos and videos, making it a truly memorable and valuable experience that we were very satisfied with.

新城海岸が波風高く急遽わいわいビーチに変更してのシュノーケリングでしたが、可愛いウミガメを目の前で見ることが出来、珊瑚礁に泳ぐ綺麗な魚たちも期待以上に楽しめました。インストラクターのそうちゃんは、とても頼りになる方で安心して海の中の観察に集中出来ました。また写真や動画を撮るのもお上手で、思い出に残る貴重な体験にとても満足です。

The sea was calm. I was able to swim close enough to the turtles that it felt like we could bump into each other, and I got to watch them munching on seaweed up close! Thank you, Yamachan and Sou-kun. Even when my mask slipped and seawater got into my nose... 😱 you quickly fixed it, so thank you, Yamachan! ✨

穏やかな海でした。ぶつかりそうなくらいの近さで亀と泳ぎ、海藻をモグモグ食べる姿をじっくりと見ることができました！やまちゃん、そう君、ありがとうございました。水中マスクがズレて鼻に海水が…😱の時も、すぐに直してくれてやまちゃんありがとう✨

I was glad to be able to walk safely through the jungle with the guide's stories, which I wouldn't have been able to do on my own. It was great to see precious animals and plants as well. Personally, I thought it would have been better if we had a bit more time to stargaze. Since we only had time before entering the jungle, I think it would be more enjoyable if we could be taken to a clearing where we could see a sky full of stars.

ガイドさんのお話と共に、自分では行くことが出来ないジャングルの中を安全に歩くことが出来て良かったです。貴重な動物や植物も見ることが出来、良かったです。
個人的には、もう少し星を見る時間が長ければ良いと思いました。ジャングルに入る前の時間しかなかったので、一面の星が見える広場などに連れていって貰えるともっと楽しめると思います。

The perfect stars were impressive, but the coconut crab that the staff caught was surprisingly large, surprisingly heavy, and since it hardly moved, I was able to observe it closely.

満点の星も見ごたえありましたが、スタッフの方が捕まえたヤシガニが、意外と大きく、意外と重く、でも殆ど動かないので、じっくり見ることができました。

We were able to take our time at each highlight and explore at a relaxed pace. We also enjoyed a delicious lunch. The guide's performance on the sanshin was a live rendition, which was powerful and left a strong impression.

それぞれの見どころでの見学の時間もゆったりと取っていただき落ち着いて回ることができました。お昼ご飯も美味しく頂きました。ガイドさんの三線は、いわゆる生の演奏なので、迫力もありとても印象に残りました。

Although the flight was delayed, they adapted flexibly to the timing, allowing us to smoothly reach our desired destination. Even in the rain, we were dropped off at the entrance and could easily get back on, which was convenient. During the journey, they shared various stories about Okinawa's history, which was enjoyable. I would like to use their services again.

飛行機が遅れましたが、臨機応変に時間対応して頂き、行きたいとこにスムーズに行けました。雨でも入口で降ろしてもらって、また乗れるので楽でした。移動中は沖縄の歴史などいろいろな話をしてくれて楽しかったです。
また利用したいです。

We were lucky to have great weather, but even more so, the organization was fantastic. Safety in the dark was thoroughly ensured, allowing us to enjoy ourselves calmly throughout. The lecture about the starry sky was detailed, making it easy to enjoy even without prior knowledge. I appreciate the attention to detail. I definitely want to do this again.

天気に恵まれてラッキーでしたが、それ以上に進行が素晴らしかったです。暗闇での安全確保が徹底されており、終始落ち着いて楽しめました。星空についてのレクチャーが丁寧なのね、知識がなくてもすぐに楽しめます。細部まで行き届いた配慮に感謝。また必ずお願いしたいです。

The flow was easy to understand, and I was able to act calmly both in the cave and in the sea. I was surprised by the abundance of fish, and my anticipation for seeing sea turtles grew.

流れが分かりやすく、洞窟でも海でも落ち着いて行動できました。魚の多さに驚き、ウミガメへの期待も高まりました。

The first sea turtle I saw was eating in the clear ocean. I was healed by the beauty of nature and its adorable appearance. Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience! ✨

初めて見た海亀は、透き通った海の中で食事中。自然の美しさと愛らしい姿に心癒されました✨素敵な体験をさせていただきありがとうございました✨

I boarded the ship at the end of the year, but I got quite seasick. I took motion sickness medication, but whether the weather is favorable or if you can see whales is all up to luck. It's not about the quality of the tour company. I did catch a glimpse of a whale's tail! (*^_^*)

年末に乗船しましたが、かなり船酔いしました。
酔い止めを飲んでいましたが、天候に恵まれるか、クジラに会えるかは運です。
催行会社の善しあしではありません。
クジラのしっぽ少し見えました(*^_^*)

The sunset couldn't be seen at Uni Beach due to low tide, but instead, they took us to Uni Beach in the morning. There were hardly any other tourists, and we had a wonderful drone photography session. The staff were truly kind people; thank you very much.

夕日は干潮のためユニの浜では見られずでしたが、代わりに朝のユニの浜に連れて行って下さいました。他の観光客もほとんどいなくて、すてきなドローン撮影会をしてくださいました。スタッフの方、本当にやさしい方達でした、ありがとうございました。

We participated as a group of 12, and the schedule was nicely balanced, allowing for some free time while we were able to explore the three islands in one day. The lunch was a buffet style, and we were able to enjoy a lot of Okinawan cuisine. It turned out to be a very fulfilling day!

12人の大所帯での参加でしたがタイムスケジュールが程よく自由時間もありつつ1日で離島三島を回れました。昼食もバイキング形式で沖縄料理をたくさん食べることができました。大変充実した1日になりました！

We participated in snorkeling for the first time with our 5 and 7-year-old children. Yamachan was very kind and taught the kids, and they were thrilled to see sea turtles and fish. 😊 Since Yamachan stayed with the kids the whole time, my husband and I were able to relax and enjoy snorkeling together. We created the best memories as a family! ✨

初めてのシュノーケリング、5歳と7歳の子どもと参加させていただきました。やまちゃんがとっても優しく子ども達にも教えてくださり、海亀やお魚が見れて大喜びでした☺️やまちゃんが子ども達とずっと一緒にいてくださったので、安心して夫婦でゆっくりシュノーケリングを楽しむこともできました♩
家族で最高の思い出が作れました✨

My first trip to Okinawa. I was anxious about driving on unfamiliar roads, so I decided to try a charter taxi and made a reservation. It was a great decision. The driver's stories were enjoyable, and the eight hours flew by. They were very accommodating to my somewhat reckless plan, and we were able to visit Sueyoshi Shrine, which my daughter was thrilled about. The car's license plate was also easy to remember, which was a big plus. Among all the taxis parked, it was easy to spot. Searching for a taxi can be stressful. I'm planning to go back to Okinawa once Shuri Castle is completed. I hope to rely on your services again then!

初めての沖縄旅行。知らない道をレンタカーで行くのは不安・・。
貸切タクシーを利用してみようと予約。
大正解でした。運転手さんのお話も楽しく、あっという間の８時間。
無謀にたてた計画にも丁寧に対応くださり、行きたかった末吉宮に行けて
娘は大喜び。車のナンバーも覚えやすかったのもポイント高いです。
たくさん停まってるタクシーの中でも、すぐ分かる。探すのはストレスですから。
首里城が完成したらまた沖縄へ行こうと予定たててます。その時はまたよろしくお願いしますね

It was convenient to have a pickup to the hotel. They were flexible in accommodating my last-minute requests on the day. It was a relaxed and enjoyable day.

ホテルまでお迎えがあり楽チンでした。当日の急なお願いにも柔軟に対応してくれました。気楽で楽しい1日でした。

I participated in a snorkeling and SUP tour in early April. I was worried about whether my 7-year-old (who was swimming in the ocean for the first time) would enjoy it, but thanks to the bright and kind guide who took great care of us, we had a fantastic time. My child seemed to really enjoy chatting with the SUP guide, Peach Princess from Miyako Island, and was smiling the whole time. We received a lot of wonderful photos, and they even provided transportation to our hotel (thank you, Hiro), making it a very appreciated tour.

４月上旬にシュノーケリングとSUPのツアーに参加しました。7歳（海で泳ぐのは初）が楽しめるか不安でしたが、明るく優しいガイドさんが丁寧にケアしてくださったおかげで、満喫できました。SUPのガイドをしてくださった宮古島のピーチ姫とのお喋りがとても楽しかったようで、7歳は終始ニコニコでした。素敵な写真を沢山いただけて、ホテルまでの送迎もしていただき（ヒロさん、ありがとうございました）、とてもありがたいツアーでした。

This is my second time participating in this tour. Although there are many tour guests moving at once, the group is divided at each destination, allowing for smooth sightseeing without confusion.

On Yubu Island and Taketomi Island, you can explore freely and take your time visiting the places you want to see. The mangrove cruise on Iriomote Island was guided by a knowledgeable guide, and I learned a lot about mangroves.

On the water buffalo cart ride to Yubu Island, the guide played the sanshin and performed island songs for us. On Taketomi Island, I chose the free option this time, and when we arrived at Taketomi Port, there was a rental bicycle shop where I could borrow an electric bike.

During my first visit, I explored on foot, but there are many hilly paths, so having a bicycle makes it easier and gives you more time to enjoy. Lunch was a buffet featuring local island specialties.

このツアーに参加するのは2回目です。
大勢のツアー客が一度に動きますが、行く先々でグループ分けがされていて、迷う事なくスムーズに観光出来ます。
由布島、竹富島での島内観光は自由に回る事が出来、行きたいところをゆっくり観光出来ます。
西表島のマングローブクルーズは、案内人さんのガイドが分かり易く、マングローブの事を沢山知りました。
由布島までの水牛車では、案内人さんが三線を弾いて島唄を披露してくれます。
竹富島では、今回はフリーを選択しましたが、竹富港に着いた際にレンタサイクルのお店の方いて、電動自転車を借りる事が出来ました。
一度目は歩いての観光でしたが、起伏のある道も多く、自転車があると楽ですし、時間にも余裕が持てます。
ランチは島名物が中心のバイキングでした。
