Okinawa
I wish the time could be extended a bit longer. Also, since Oishi Forest is a sacred place, I wanted to walk quietly and reflect by myself, but this time, tourists participated for the first time, and for some reason, it turned into a lively chat, which was a bit troubling. It might be fine for some people, but I honestly felt disappointed because I took time off work just to participate and wanted to reflect alone. Additionally, the course was decided without my input... Previously, I had been looking towards the Gajumaru area, so in the end, we had to rush through, and I wanted to explore at my own pace from the beginning.
もう少し時間を長くして欲しいです。
また、大石林山は拝所なので、一人で静に内観しながら歩きたかったのですが、
今回初めてツーリストさんも参加されて、なぜかお喋り和気あいあいになり困りました。それがいい人はいいかもしれませんが、
私は一人で内観したかったので、正直、仕事を休んでやっと参加したのに残念でした。
また、勝手にコースも決められて、、、
前回までガジュマルの方までみてたので、、、
最後は駆け足でみるかたちになり、自分のペースで最初から周りたかったです。
I was able to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere while riding a water buffalo cart. The rental bicycles cost 1,500 yen, and since it takes about 20 minutes to walk from the tourist center to the sandy beach, I decided against it. However, I learned that using the shuttle bus would only cost 300 yen, so I wish I had known that beforehand.
水牛車に乗って、のどかな雰囲気を味わえました。
レンタル自転車が1500円もするので、観光センターから砂浜まで歩くと20分もかかるのでやめましたが、巡回バス利用なら300円で行けるようなので、知っていれば行きたかったです。
I was surrounded by nature and felt refreshed!!!!
自然に囲まれ、気分をリフレッシュできました!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for participating in the tour. We hope you enjoyed the nature of Okinawa and kayaking. We look forward to your next visit.
ツアーのご参加ありがとうございました。
沖縄の自然とカヤックを楽しんで頂けたかと思います。
またのご利用をお待ちしております。
It was my first time kayaking, and I was able to enjoy it safely and happily. As we paddled along, I learned interesting facts about the mangroves and the surrounding flora and fauna. The sunset depends on the weather and clouds, but the colors reflecting on the sea were incredibly vivid, creating wonderful memories. I also appreciated being able to take some photos and share them.
はじめてのカヤックでしたが、とても安全に楽しく過ごすことができました。漕ぎ進みながら、見つけたマングローブや周りの動植物を解説していただき、面白く勉強になりました。
サンセットは天気や雲次第ですが、海に映る夕焼けはすごく鮮やかで、いい思い出になりました。
いくつか写真を撮って共有いただけたのもありがたかったです。
Thank you for participating in the sunset tour. The sunset viewed while kayaking is exceptional, isn't it? I hope it has become one of the great memories of your trip to Okinawa. Please feel free to come back and visit us again if you have the chance!
サンセットツアーのご参加ありがとうございました。
カヤックに乗りながら見る夕焼けは格別ですよね。
沖縄旅行の良い思い出の一つになっていれば幸いです。
また機会がありましたらぜひ遊びに来てくださいね!
The water buffalo carts on Taketomi Island allow you to leisurely explore the village. While I felt a bit sorry for the villagers, it was fascinating to see the unique architecture.
竹富島の水牛車はのんびり集落を一回りできます。集落の方には申し訳ない感じもしますが、独特の建造物を見せて頂けて興味深いものがありました。
The weather was nice, and I enjoyed places like the Churaumi Aquarium and Kouri Island, which I visited for the first time. It's a shame there were fewer people due to the impact of COVID-19, but I would like to use this service again when I visit Okinawa.
天気が良く、美ら海水族館や初めて行く古宇利島など楽しめました
コロナの影響で人が少なかったのは残念ですが、また沖縄に行ったら利用したいと思います

There were many clouds, but with the wind, the clouds cleared up at times, and they explained the stars to us. I participated with my mother, who has difficulty walking, but the staff were very kind, which made me very happy. We were able to see the Milky Way as well. It was moving! I've never seen so many stars before. I highly recommend it. Even if the weather is bad, the clouds clear up, so you can see various stars. I think it's worth going even if the weather isn't great!
雲が多かったのですが、風もあり雲が抜けたところところで星の説明をして下さりました。
足の不自由な母との参加でしたが、スタッフさんがとても親切で大変嬉しかったです。
天の川も観れました。
感動です!あんな沢山の星を観たことがありません。お勧めです。
お天気が悪くても、雲が抜けていくので色んな星を観れますよ^_^
お天気が悪くても行ってみる価値はあると思います!
I thought my schedule was packed, but surprisingly, I was able to act with some flexibility, so I was satisfied. Perhaps because of the season, the Churaumi Aquarium wasn't as crowded as usual?
スケジュールがびっちりだなぁと思っていましたが、意外と余裕をもって行動できましたので満足でした。
この時期だからか、普段ほど美ら海水族館は混雑していなかったのかな?
Dear Anonymous,

The guide was really kind!
We were able to see a lot in one day, and it was very fulfilling.
The bus was spacious and allowed for a relaxing experience!
ガイドさんすごく親切だった!
1日でたくさん回れて密度がこい。
バスもゆったりしててリラックスできます!
I participated for my mother (71 years old) who wanted to ride a water buffalo. It was a dream come true to ride a water buffalo and cross the sea, which became the best memory. I found it fascinating to learn about the significance of water buffaloes to the people of Ishigaki Island.
It had been 20 years since I traveled with my mother, and I was anxious about how it would go, but I was grateful for the staff's thoughtfulness.
水牛に乗りたい母(71歳)のために参加しました。念願叶って水牛に乗れ、海を渡った事は最高の思い出になりました。石垣島の人にとって水牛がどんな存在だったのかを知ることができ、興味深く感じました。
母との旅行は20年ぶりで、どうなることかと不安でしたが、スタッフの方のお気遣いがありがたかったです。
It was a trip during the pandemic, but I felt that hygiene management, such as temperature checks and mask-wearing, was well taken care of. It was just my 4-year-old son and me, and the ferry ride was short, so we didn't get bored and had a great time. As soon as we arrived at Taketomi Island, we took a glass-bottom boat, and there were only half the capacity, which made it enjoyable. My son was very excited to see so many fish and looked like he was having a lot of fun. It was a pity that the guide's explanations were a bit hard to hear. The water buffalo cart ride was also relaxing and very enjoyable. It was a tour that I definitely want to do again.
コロナの中での旅行でしたが、検温、マスク着用など衛生管理はしっかりされてると思いました。
4歳の息子と二人でしたが、フェリーの時間が短いので飽きることもなく、楽しめていました。
竹富島に着いてすぐにグラスボートでしたが、定員の半分しかいなく、子供はたくさんのお魚に大興奮でとても楽しそうでした。
ガイドさんの説明が少し聞き取りづらかったのが残念。
水牛車ものんびりできてとても楽しめました。
またぜひ行きたいと思うツアーでした。
I have never been interested in astronomy until now. From now on, I will pay a little more attention to the night sky. If I have the opportunity, I will participate.
今まで全く天体には無関心でした。
今後、少しだけ夜空を意識して過ごします。
機会が有れば参加します。
It's great that you can enjoy a full day if you pay for the tour! You can also buy ice cream and have lunch on-site. At Pineapple Park, be careful of mosquitoes; if you don't keep moving, you might run out of time later. The souvenirs are located further in, so if you stay in one spot, you won't have enough time! I really recommend it because you can spend a fulfilling day easily! I thought the price was reasonable for what you get! I would like to use it again!
ツアーだとお金を払えば1日楽しめるのがいいです!
あとは現地でアイス買ったりお昼食べたり、、
パイナップルパークは蚊に注意でどんどん進まないと後で時間なくなるので、、お土産も奥にあるので一つのところで止まってると時間足りなくなります!
1日を楽に充実して過ごせるので本当におすすめ!
値段も内容のわりに安いと思いました!また利用したいです!
The cornet I had at Pineapple Park was delicious. I want to go again.
The tour guide was very kind.
The water we received was also tasty.
I'm glad I signed up for this tour. Thank you!
パイナップルパークで食べたコロネが美味しかったです。
また行きたいです。
添乗員さん、すごく親切な方です。
いただいたお水も美味しかったです。
私はこのツアーに申し込んで良かったです。ありがとうございました!
When I boarded the bus, I noticed that the seats next to me were left empty, which made me feel that proper COVID-19 measures were being taken.
At the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, you can reserve seats by the tank in a restaurant where you can enjoy a meal while watching the whale sharks. Despite it being Sunday, I was seated after just a 15-minute wait, so be sure to announce your name upon arrival at the large tank. There was a time limit of about 40 minutes, but it was enough time to enjoy taco rice.
The freshly made sata andagi at the newly constructed facility on the second floor of Manzamo was delicious. There were about 5 to 6 varieties, each costing 90 yen. You can enjoy them while sitting on the terrace with a view of the sea.
The only disappointment was that the weather on Kouri Island wasn't great. There's nothing that can be done about that.
I believe the main reason I had such a comfortable day was that the guide was wonderful. They provided guidance along the way with a pleasant voice, and their warm and gentle personality was truly soothing.
バスに乗り込むと、前後と通路を挟んだお隣は空席にしてあり、コロナ対策がしっかりとなされていると感じました。
美ら海水族館ではジンベイザメを眺めながら食事が出来るレストランの水槽側の席が予約可能です。日曜日にもかかわらず待ち時間15分で案内されたので、巨大水槽についたらまず名前を告げて予約しましょう。40分くらいの時間制限がありましたが、タコライスを食べるには十分な時間です。
万座毛に新たに建設された施設2階の揚げたてサーターアンダギーが
美味しかったです。5~6種類あり、1個90円。テラス席で海を見ながらいただけます。
唯一残念だったのは、古宇利島でお天気が良くなかったこと。こればかりは仕方ありません。
快適な一日を過ごせた最大の理由は、ガイドさんが素晴らしかったからだと思います。心地の良い声で道中案内してくださって、温かく穏やかなお人柄に癒されました。
Dear Chijimi,
Thank you for using our bus tour service. We also appreciate your detailed review of your experience. I believe it will be very helpful for future customers. We are very glad to hear that you enjoyed the bus tour. We look forward to serving you again whenever the opportunity arises.

This was my second trip to Ishigaki Island, and I was really looking forward to participating in the starry sky tour that I couldn't join last time! The weather was a bit cloudy, but I was still thrilled to see so many stars and even the Milky Way, which I can't see in the city. The explanations were thorough, and it brought back memories of the constellations I learned in school.
Additionally, I was able to borrow binoculars and saw many stars that are definitely not visible to the naked eye, which was very moving!
One thing that concerned me was when the person giving the explanation said, "Ishigaki Island is a starry sky protection area..." I believe that the only places recognized as starry sky protection areas by the International Dark-Sky Association are Taketomi Island, Iriomote Island, Kuro Island, Hateruma Island, and the northern part of Ishigaki Island. Since the International Dark-Sky Association does not easily grant this designation even with a little city light, I thought there might be some misunderstanding if it was presented as a description of the entire Ishigaki Island. In fact, during my visit, there were parts that were not visible due to the influence of city lights. I wanted to see stars in a starry sky protection area, so when I realized that this was not a true starry sky protection area, I felt a bit sad.
石垣島への旅行は2度目で、前回参加できなかった星空ツアーに参加できることをとても楽しみにしてました!
天候は若干曇りがかっていましたが、それでも都内では見れないほどのたくさんの星空、天の川まで見れて嬉しかったです。説明を丁寧にしてくださり、学生時代に習った星座について思い出しました。
また、双眼鏡を貸していただき
絶対肉眼では見えない星もたくさん見れてとても感動しました!!
一点気になったのが、説明をしてくださった方が「石垣島は星空保護区で…」と言うところです。
実際に国際ダークスカイ協会が星空保護区に認定しているのは、竹富島、西表島、黒島、波照間島と石垣島の北部だったと思います。少しの街明かりでも簡単に認定しない国際ダークスカイ協会ですので、石垣島全体の説明だと勘違いされてしまう方がいるのではないかな…と思いました。実際、参加した際も街明かりの影響で見えていない部分もありましたので…。星空保護区で星を観たかったので、参加した際にここは本当の星空保護区じゃない?と気付いた時は少し悲しかったです。
I was staying at a hotel in Yomitan Village and didn't have a rental car, but I really wanted to go to the Churaumi Aquarium, so I joined a tour. The tour efficiently covered the sightseeing spots, and there was no pressure to buy souvenirs, so I truly enjoyed it. The guide was great as well.
読谷村のホテルに泊まっていてレンタカーを借りていなかったのですが、どうしても美ら海水族館に行きたくて参加しました。
ツアーは効率よく観光場所を回り、無理にお土産等買わせようということもみられなかったので、本当に楽しめました。
ガイドさんもよかったです。
It was my first time in Ishigaki Island, so I chose to visit three islands.
I had no interest in the ox cart and mangroves, but I was moved by them. Yujiro, who was a part-time worker until Yufu Island, was a smart kid who got into the frame by himself and tied the reins on his own. Ryu, the handsome guy from Taketomi Island, was also wonderful. Everyone was great!
初めての石垣島でしたので 3島巡りを
選択しました。
牛車 マングローブ 全く興味がなかったのですが
感動しました。

皆 素敵でした♪
It was a wonderful trip where I was taken to places I wanted to visit even while sleeping. The guide's thoughtfulness and consideration were outstanding. There were also tourists from overseas, and I was impressed by the fluent English explanations.
In the evening, it was a pity that I couldn't see the beautiful emerald green sea at Manza Beach due to the reflection of the sun. Having visited in the morning, I can compare and see that the view is completely different. The beautiful sea color was not visible.
The photos were taken with the same equipment.
観光で行きたいところへ寝ていても連れて行ってもらえて素敵な旅でした。また、ガイドさんの気遣い配慮は素晴らしかったです。海外からの観光者もいらっしゃいましたが堪能な英語で説明されていて感心でした。
夕方の万座毛は太陽に反射されてしまって素敵なエメラルドグリーンの海が見えなかったところが残念でした。午前中に訪れたことがあるので比較すると見え方全然違っています。キレイな海色は見えずでした。
写真は同じ機器で撮っています。
The tour was great as it allowed us to appreciate the beauty of each island. However, the COVID-19 measures were lacking, such as not addressing participants who did not wear masks. Please improve this.
ツアーはそれぞれの島の良さがわかり非常に良かったです。ただ、マスクを付けずに参加する人に注意しないなどコロナ対策は今一歩でした。改善ください。
We were blessed with clear skies, and the color of the ocean was incredibly beautiful. We enjoyed underwater tours and an aquarium, along with stunning beaches. We arrived at American Village just in time for the sunset and were able to fully enjoy the sunset over the ocean from a fantastic location!
晴天に恵まれ、海の色が最高にキレイでした。海中遊覧や水族館と、絶景ビーチ。アメリカンビレッジもサンセットに合わせて到着し、海に沈む夕陽を最高のロケーションで堪能出来ました!
I participated using the GoTo campaign. According to the guide, before COVID-19, it was fully booked every day. After reopening, it seems to be quite empty. There were only five participants on the day I joined.
The main stops were Manzamo, Kouri Island, Okashi Goten, Churaumi Aquarium, and Pineapple Park.
Each sightseeing spot was enjoyable to some extent, but since Okashi Goten also has a store in Naha's Kokusai Street, I honestly felt it wasn't necessary. Still, the staff at the sales store were very pleasant.
Additionally, we had lunch there, but the Okinawa soba was lukewarm and honestly did not suit my taste at all. It might have been better to use the cafeteria at the Kouri Island rest area.
I had heard the song from Pineapple Park many times at Don Quijote on Kokusai Street, so I felt, "Is this the place?" Also, the renovations varied greatly from place to place, which made me confused about whether the route we were taking was correct, and it took a long time to get through. The commercial aspect was very strong, and I wondered about that. Personally, I imagined a place where I could compare and taste different varieties of fresh pineapples.
That said, for those who want to enjoy the northern part without renting a car, this might be the best tour option.
GoToキャンペーンを利用して参加。ガイドさんに聞いたところコロナ前は連日満席。再開後は閑古鳥が鳴いているということでした。当日参加者は5名と少数。
主な停車場所は万座毛、古宇利島、御菓子御殿、美ら海水族館、パイナップルパーク。
各観光箇所はそれなりに楽しめましたが、御菓子御殿は那覇・国際通りにも店舗があるので正直必要性は…という感じ。それでも販売店舗の方の店員さんの感じは非常によかったです。
更にそこで昼食だったのですが沖縄そばがぬるかったし正直わたしの口にはまったく合いませんでした。古宇利島休憩所の食堂を利用した方がよかったかも。
パイナップルパークは曲を国際通りのドンキホーテで何度となく聴いていたので「ここがその場所か」という感じでした。また、改装の具合が場所ごとに全く違うことから移動しているルートが正しいのか戸惑い、抜けるのに時間がかかるのと商業色がめっちゃ強くてどうなんだろうなぁという感じです。個人的には素のパイナップルを品種別に比較して食べられるようなところを想像していました。
それでもレンタカーを借りないで少しでも北部を楽しもうとする人には一番向いたツアーではないでしょうか。
On the day of our outing, the weather was a bit uncertain due to an approaching typhoon, but they adjusted the plan with safety in mind, and we had a great time. With a small group and care for those with less experience, I believe everyone enjoyed themselves! We participated as a group of four, and they took over 50 photos just for us, making for a fulfilling SUP experience. I would love to join again next time. Thank you!
当日は台風が近付いていた事もあり、天候が微妙でしたが安全に配慮しながら少し変更したプランを出していただき楽しませてもらいました。
少人数で経験が少ない人にもケアしていて全員が楽しめたと思います!
4人で参加しましたが私達の分だけで写真も50枚以上撮影していただいて充実したSUP体験になりました。
また次回も参加したいと思います、ありがとうございました。
I had plenty of time to explore each site, and I was able to enjoy sightseeing efficiently without having to drive myself. Although I was concerned about COVID-19, it was reassuring that everyone was sanitized when getting on and off. The tour didn't include lunch, but I was happy to receive a complimentary sandwich.
どこの見学も充分な時間があり、自分で運転せずに、効率よく観光することができました。コロナの心配もありましたが、乗り降りの際に全員除菌するので、安心でした。お昼ご飯が付いていないコースでしたが、サービスでサンドイッチも一枚頂けて嬉しかったです。
I made a last-minute trip reservation the day before, but everything was processed smoothly, and I am satisfied. The bus tour and the guide were both very dedicated, and I felt positively about it. I'm glad I participated.
突然、思い立った旅行で前日の予約でしたが
全てスムーズに処理されて満足です。
バスツアーもガイドさんも一生懸命で好感が持てました、参加して良かったです。
I enjoyed the glass board, the bus, and the water buffalo. I was very satisfied with all of them. In particular, I felt a relaxed time with the water buffalo, which made me very happy.
グラスボード
バス
水牛
と楽しみました。どれもとても満足でした。
特に水牛はのんびりした時間を感じれ、大変満足しました。
On the day of the activity, the wind was strong due to the approaching typhoon, but we kayaked in a spot with gentle waves. There were a few clouds, but we could see the sunset clearly.
I requested the optional drone photography, and they took a lot of photos and videos. I received the photos right after the activity, and I am moved every time I look at them!
The staff were kind and friendly, and I had a really great time. A swimsuit, towel, and insect repellent spray are essential!
I would definitely like to do this again when I visit Okinawa. Thank you!
当日は台風前の影響で風が強かったですが、穏やかな波の地点でカヤックしました。少し雲がかかっていましたが、夕日はしっかり見えました。
オプションのドローン撮影をお願いしましたが、たくさん写真と動画を撮影していただきました。終了後すぐに写真をいただけますが、何度見ても感動します!
スタッフの方も優しく親切で本当に楽しかったです。水着とタオル、虫除けスプレー必須です!
また沖縄に行ったらぜひしたいです。ありがとうございました!
The mangroves of Iriomote Island, the water buffalo cart to Yufu Island, the water buffalo cart on Taketomi Island, and the guidance from the bus driver were all enjoyable experiences for sightseeing.
西表島のマングローブ、由布島へ渡る水牛車、武富島の水牛車、バスの運転手さんのガイド、どれも楽しく観光出来ました。
We weren't blessed with good weather, but the sea was still beautiful! There were plenty of fish! I was very satisfied! The activities were also a lot of fun, and thanks to that, I ended up with sore muscles, haha. The staff were bright, kind, and friendly, which made the experience enjoyable and warmed my heart! It’s difficult to implement infection control measures during sea activities, but they were well taken care of, which made me feel safe!
天気には恵まれず、、、でしたが、それでも綺麗な海!魚も沢山!大満足でした!アクティビティも、とても楽しくて、お陰様で筋肉痛になりました笑
スタッフ?の方々も明るく優しく親切で、とても楽しめましたし、暖かい気持ちになりました!
海でのアクティビティでは感染対策は難しいですが、しっかりされていて安心でした!
Dear Tsukemono,
Thank you for participating this time. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed yourself so much that you ended up with muscle soreness! Has the muscle soreness healed yet?! Seeing the ocean really lifts your spirits, doesn't it? Please come and visit us again! We, along with the beautiful sea and the fish, are waiting for you! We will do our best to combat COVID-19 with our safety measures! Thank you for your post!
Sincerely,
