All Reviews for Bus Tours

The Valley of Gangala was very fulfilling and enjoyable. It was pouring rain, but the introduction of a 100 yen raincoat was a lifesaver. I wish the bus guide had sold them before we went to the Sefa Utaki.

ガンガラーの谷はとても充実していて、楽しかったです。大雨でしたが、100円のレインコートの紹介もあり、助かりました。できれば斎場御嶽に行く前に、バスのガイドさんに販売してほしかったと思います。

We were blessed with good weather, and the veteran guide's stories, including the changes in Okinawa, were very well done. The sandwiches were delicious as well. It was a very fulfilling day of sightseeing. Thank you very much.

天候に恵まれ、ベテランガイドさんのお話が（沖縄の移り変わり等も入れて....)とてもお上手でした。
サンドウィッチも美味しく頂きました♪。
とても充実した1日観光でした。
有難う御座いました。

I was able to efficiently visit places that are difficult to reach without a car. The morning gathering is early, but as a result, we could see the quiet Sefa Utaki. Since I had elementary school children with me, I was torn between Okinawa World and the Valley of Gangala, but I'm glad we chose the latter. It was fun and felt like an adventure.
Thanks to GOTO, it was cheaper, and I received the common coupon email properly.

車が無いと行きにくい場所を効率よくまわれました。朝の集合は早いですが、その分静かな斎場御嶽が見れます。小学生連れなのでおきなわワールドと迷いましたが、ガンガラーの谷にして良かったです。冒険気分で楽しかったです。
GOTOで安くなり、共通クーポンのメールもきちんと来ました。

The Churaumi Aquarium was not crowded, but including the show and lunch, it felt a bit rushed in just two and a half hours, so I wished I had a little more time.

The guide's explanations were very clear, and they occasionally incorporated the feelings of the Okinawan people, which made me fall in love with Okinawa's unique culture.

I compared several companies for the tour to Churaumi and chose this one because you can board in Naha and get off at Chatan, which is also where my next accommodation is. The arrival time in Chatan was early, allowing me to enjoy my hotel life longer after the sightseeing bus tour.

美ら海水族館は空いていましたが、ショーと昼食を含めて2時間半は慌しかったので　もう少し時間が欲しかったです。

ガイドさんの説明はとてもわかりやすく、ときおり沖縄県民の思いを織り交ぜながら解説してくれて独特の文化を歩む沖縄が大好きになりました。

美ら海へ行くツアーを何社か見比べてこちらに決めたのは　那覇から乗り、次の宿泊地の北谷で降りられる事。その中でも北谷の到着時間が早い事です。こちらの観光バスのあともホテルライフを長く楽しめました。

I have been to the Churaumi Aquarium many times, but it was my first time at the Tropical Dream Center. It became a great memory. I will be back again! I was also relieved to see that the bus had thorough infection prevention measures in place.

美ら海水族館は何度も行きましたが、熱帯ドリームセンターはお初でした。いい思い出になりました。またお世話になります！
バスも感染予防策がしっかりされていて安心しました。

The highly trained staff was great. The guide's knowledge and skills were also impressive. I would like to use this service again.

非常に訓練された運行スタッフで良かったです
ガイドさんの知識も技量も高かったです
また利用したいと思います

It was just Halloween, and American Village was bustling with both adults and children in costumes. Furthermore, the time of arrival coincided perfectly with sunset, which was very beautiful.
Although the time on Kouri Island was a bit short, I still thought it was a great tour overall.

ちょうどハロウィンでしたが、アメリカンビレッジは大人も子供も仮装した方が多く活気が溢れていました。さらに、到着した時刻がちょうどサンセットでとても美しかったです。
古宇利島の時間が少し短かったですが、それも含めた上でも良いツアーだと思いました。

I participated with the aquarium as my main goal. It seems that this popular tour usually requires a full house, but there were only 17 participants, so I secured four seats for myself. The guide even entertained us with songs and played the sanshin without me asking, which greatly increased my satisfaction. American Village has many shops and restaurants, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of America. There are so many places to explore that one day isn't enough, so I would like to try again.

水族館を目あてに参加しました。
普段は満席必須の人気ツアーのようですが17名だったのでひとりで4席確保。
頼んでもいないのにガイドさんが歌や三線まで披露していただき満足度上々でした。
アメリカンビレッジは雑貨屋や飲食店が多く、アメリカを彷彿とさせる佇まいです。
一日では回りきれない数なのでまたチャレンジしたいです。

Out of the eight people, four participated alone, while the remaining two couples seemed to be married.

At Saiha no Utaki, we split into those who chose Okinawa World and those who chose the Valley of Gangala.

One person slipped and fell. Due to the rain, it's advisable to wear comfortable shoes like sneakers.

Currently, you cannot pass through the Utaki and can only view it from the front. Unlike the photos, I didn't notice it at first, but there was a staff member present who informed us.

At the Valley of Gangala, we gathered at the cave café first, and then a male guide provided us with a tour.

For those who wanted, they offered water bottles filled with sanpin tea and shared insect repellent gel.

They mentioned that on rainy days, certain animals come out, and the moderately wet scenery of the valley is recommended for a stroll. Indeed, the mystical atmosphere was enhanced by the rain, making it very beautiful. The presence of the banyan tree is overwhelming.

While Okinawa is strongly associated with the sea, spending time surrounded by greenery was also very luxurious and refreshing.

8名の内、4人が1人参加、残りはご夫婦らしき2組。

斎場御嶽はそのまま、おきなわワールドとガンガラーの谷は選択した方へ別れます。

お一人、滑って転んだ方がいらっしゃいました。
雨のせいもありますが、スニーカー等靴は歩きやすい物を。

御嶽は現在通り抜けできなくなっていて、正面から見る感じです。
写真と違い、最初気がつきませんでしたが、その場に係りの方がいらっしゃり、教えて下さいました。

ガンガラーの谷は最初に洞窟カフェで集まり、そこから男性ガイドが案内して下さいます。

さんぴん茶の入った水筒を希望者にはくれて虫除けジェルも分けてくれます。

雨の日だからこそ、出てくる動物もいること、散策には適度に濡れた谷の景色がおすすめ等、教えて下さいましたが、確かに幻想的な雰囲気が雨で増した感じでとても素敵でした。
ガジュマルの木の存在感は圧倒的です。

沖縄は海のイメージが強いですが、緑に囲まれて過ごす時間もとても贅沢で気分転換になりました。

万座毛の美しい景色、海洋公園でのイルカショー、恋の島の美しい景色、すべてがとても印象的でした。本当に価値のある旅行です。スタッフはとても親切で、この旅行はとても楽しかったです。

The beautiful view of Manzamo, the dolphin show in the ocean park, the beautiful view of the love island, all are so impressive. This is a really value trip. The stuffs were very nice, very enjoyable, this trip.

This time, I think it was much more economical than driving around with a rental car since it was eligible for Goto. The Churaumi Aquarium was a bit hectic, but I was glad to see the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium show without any issues. I was very satisfied with how efficiently we were able to visit the tourist spots. The guide and the driver were also polite, and the service was impeccable.

今回はGoto対象だったのでレンタカーで回るよりもずっとお得だったと思います。美ら海水族館は少しバタバタでしたが、おきちゃんショーも無事見れて良かったです。効率よく観光地を回れて大満足でした。
ガイドさん、ドライバーさんも丁寧でサービスも申し分なしです。

Churaumi Aquarium and the pineapple garden can still be enjoyed while paying attention to social distancing, and not much has changed from before. Manzamo has transformed the aisles of souvenir shops. The tourist facilities and observation deck are open. We were blessed with good weather and were very satisfied.

美ら海水族館、パイナップル園はソーシャルディスタンスに注意しながら観光するも以前とあまり変わらず。万座毛は　土産物店の通路が大変身。観光施設と展望台がオープン。天候にも恵まれ大満足。

It's been over 40 years since I visited Gyokusendo. It's very long, mysterious, and beautifully lit up, so I highly recommend it. The outside temperature was 30°C, but it was cool and comfortable inside the cave. Just be careful of the dripping water from the ceiling...

40数年ぶりの玉泉洞。とても長く、神秘的でキレイにライトアップされておりお勧めです。外気温が30°のあったのですが、鍾乳洞内は涼しくて快適快適でした。天井からの水滴に注意ですかね・・・

Saijō Utaki is reached by walking a slight slope after getting off the bus. The entire process takes about 30 minutes. At the entrance of the Ganjalaru Valley, there is a café where I enjoyed a coffee. Before heading to Korea, we received an explanation from our guide and were given water bottles to carry for the tour. There were many unfamiliar sights, like workplaces and insects, but the female guide provided thorough explanations to any questions we had. Along the way, we entered a cave, and the faint light from the lanterns made the experience even more enjoyable. I believe children would be thrilled. The scenery and the guide's explanations made for a very meaningful time. The bus guide was also kind and provided good explanations despite being young. It was a half-day course, but it was a very worthwhile tour.

斎場御嶽はバスを降りて少々坂道を歩いて到着。
全体で30分程度の工程です。
ガンガラーの谷は入口にカフェがあり、そこでコーヒーをいただきました。
韓国前にガイドさんから説明を聞き、水筒をもらい肩からかけてツアー開始です。
職場、昆虫など見慣れないものばかりですが、女性ガイドさんは何を聞いてもきちんと説明して下さいます。
途中、洞窟内に入って行きますが、ランタンのわずかな明かりで楽しみ倍増です。
子供達であれば、大喜びだと思います。
景色、ガイドさんの説明等大変有意義な時間でした。
バスのガイドさんも親切で若いのによく説明してくれます。
半日コースでしたが、大変有意義なツアーでした。

Thank you for the enjoyable time. The guide was fun, and the experience was amazing. It's a pity that we couldn't go to Heart Rock on Kouri Island because the bus was not available.

楽しい一時ありがとうございました。ガイドさんも楽しく童神最高でした。古宇利島でハートロックに車がバスなので行けなかったのが残念。本当にイッぺーニフェデービル

I've been to Okinawa many times, but this time I joined a tour departing from the Prefectural Office since I was traveling alone!

To put it simply, it was a great deal and I was able to sightsee efficiently, which was really nice. Originally, it was an affordable tour, but thanks to GoTo, it became even cheaper, and I also received a 1,000 yen electronic coupon!

I participated on a Monday, and there were 21 people on the tour, with about one-third being solo travelers. At the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, I had two and a half hours of free time to see the whale sharks and manta rays while having lunch at a café, and then I watched the dolphin show at the Okichan Theater from 1:00 PM before returning to the bus... it was just right!

On the bus, the guide played the sanshin and sang, and occasionally posed quizzes, creating a warm and enjoyable atmosphere throughout the trip. Since we walked a lot, I appreciated being able to take a nap on the way back while island songs played.

Not only did we visit the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, but we also went to Kouri Island, the newly renovated Manzamo, and the Okashi Goten (Sweet Factory). As others mentioned, I felt that the free time at American Village was a bit long, so it might be better to unify the free time to 20 minutes for all places except the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. Surprisingly, 20 minutes was enough to see everything!

何度も来ている沖縄県ですが、今回は一人旅だったので県庁前から出発のこちらのツアーに参加！

一言で言えば大変お得で効率良く観光でき本当に良かったです(^^)
元々お手頃ツアーですが、GoToの恩恵でさらに格安、さらに1,000円の電子クーポンも頂けました！

月曜日の参加でしたが21人のツアーで、1/3はお一人様の参加でした。
美ら海水族館も2時間半の自由時間でジンベエザメやナンヨウマンタを見ながらカフェで昼食も取れ、13:00〜のオキちゃん劇場でイルカショーを見てバスに戻って…と丁度良かったです♪

バス車内ではガイドさんが三線を弾きながら歌って下さったり、時折クイズを出して下さったり始終和やかな雰囲気で楽しく過ごせました。
たくさん歩いたので、帰りは島唄が流れ仮眠ができた点もありがたかったです。

美ら海水族館だけでなく、古宇里島や新しくなった万座毛、またお菓子御殿にも行けました。
他の方々もおっしゃっておりましたが、アメリカンビレッジは正直少し自由時間が長い気がしたので、美ら海水族館以外は全て20分の自由行動で統一しても良い気がします。
意外に20分でどこも十分に見れました！

As an aquarium, it was impressive and very beautiful. I want to go again. I've been to facilities in other prefectures, but I felt that Churaumi Aquarium was really good. If you go to Okinawa, I definitely think you should stop by.

水族館としては、迫力があり、とてもきれいでした。
また行きたいです。他県の施設も行ったことがありますが、美ら海水族館は、とても良いと感じました。沖縄に行ったなら、ぜひ立ち寄るといいと思います。

The guide's explanation conveyed the current situation in Okinawa thoroughly, which was great. It left a strong impression on me. Although they said they were not very good, they were truly wonderful.

ガイドさんの説明が沖縄の現状を余すころなく伝えられていてよかったです。非常に心に残りました。さらに下手だと本人は言うが、とても素敵でした。

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

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？

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。

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。

Due to the pandemic, there were only four participants! Moreover, all of us were solo travelers (laughs). But thanks to that, we were able to bond and it turned into a fun trip! Thank you for operating with such a small group.

コロナ禍のせいか参加者が4人！
しかも全員1人参加同士（笑）
でもおかげで仲良くなれて楽しい旅と
なりました！少人数での運行ありがとうございます。

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。

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 participated alone. There was another person who also joined alone, so I didn't feel too awkward. The main attraction was the Churaumi Aquarium, and I was able to see various places in one day, including Manzamo and Nago Pineapple Park. It had been nearly 10 years since my last visit to Okinawa, but the beauty of the scenery was just as stunning, and I really enjoyed it.

1人で参加しました。他にも1人で参加されている方がいたので気まずい思いはそこまでしませんでした。
美ら海水族館をメインに、万座毛や名護パイナップルパークなど1日で色んな所を見れました。
約10年近くぶりの沖縄でしたが、景色の美しさは変わらずとても楽しめました。

I participated alone, but I was glad I could go to the places I wanted to visit. They had proper COVID-19 measures in place, and the seating arrangements were considerate, allowing me to spend my time comfortably. The Churaumi Aquarium, which I really wanted to visit, was breathtaking. There was plenty of free time to enjoy everything thoroughly.

1人で参加しましたが行きたい場所に行く事が出来て良かったです。
コロナ対策もきちんとしており座席も考えていて
気持ちよく過ごせました。
どうしても行きたかった美ら海水族館は感動しました。自由行動の時間も多く十分楽しめました。

It was a place that was a bit difficult to visit alone, but there was a sightseeing bus that took us to the two desired locations, allowing us to use our time very efficiently. I was very satisfied to visit the Sefa Utaki and the Valley of Gangala, as well as the caves and sacred sites that have remained since ancient times.

一人なのでなかなか行きづらい場所でしたが、観光バスで希望の2箇所周遊があり、とても効率よく回れる時間も有効に使えました。斎場御嶽と、ガンガーラの谷と、古代から残る洞窟や聖地に行けてとても満足です。

I have traveled to Okinawa many times, but since I'm not good at driving, I decided to take the bus to the northern part and joined this tour!
It was my first time visiting the Tropical Dream Center. The orchid flowers were very vibrant and beautiful. Also, the view from the observation deck inside the facility offers a panoramic view of the blue ocean. It was breathtaking!
At the Okashi Goten, the fresh purple sweet potato tart was delicious.
During the bus ride, the bus guide sang Okinawan songs, and I had a great time.

沖縄旅行は何度もしているのですが、車の運転が苦手なため、北部へはバスで行こうと思いこのツアーに参加させていただきました！
熱帯ドリームセンターへは初めて行きました。ランの花がとても鮮やかでキレイでした。また施設内の遠見台から見る景色は青い海を一望できます。絶景でした！
お菓子御殿では生の紅イモタルトがおいしかったです。
バス乗車中は、バスガイドさんが沖縄の歌を歌ってくれるなど楽しい時を過ごせました。
