All Reviews for Bus Tours

I used this service on the last day of my solo trip. Since my flight was after 3 PM, it was great to finish everything in the morning. I was able to enter the sacred space of Sefa Utaki as soon as it opened, experiencing the tranquility of the area without any people around.

At Okinawa World, I purchased tickets for the Gyokusendo Cave and Kingdom Village. With a stay of two hours, this ticket was sufficient. The free Eisa performance was very impressive, so it was worth shortening my visit to Gyokusendo Cave to see it.

I really appreciated the ride to the airport on the way back. I was able to use my time meaningfully.

ひとり旅の最終日に利用しました。
15時過ぎのフライトだったため、午前中だけで終わるのはとても良かったです。
朝一番、斎場御嶽の開場とともに中に入れ人がいない空間と神聖な場所を味わうことができました。
おきなわワールドは玉泉洞と王国村の入場券を買いました。滞在時間2時間なのでこのチケットで十分でした。
無料で見ることのできるエイサーはとても迫力があるので玉泉洞の見学時間を短くしてでも見る価値はありました。
帰りに空港まで送ってくれるのはとてもありがたかったです。有意義に時間を使えました。

I booked a solo trip. The charming guide entertained us with songs and dances. Everyone seemed to have a great time throughout. Next time, I want to go again with my wife.

ひとり旅で申し込みました。愛嬌のあるガイドさんのガイドに歌や踊り。皆さんが終始楽しそうにしていました。次回は嫁とまた行きたいです。

I invited my mother to Okinawa for the first time.
Although I had visited this tourist spot many times before, thanks to our guide, we never felt bored during the travel time, and it was a very fulfilling trip.

My mother also mentioned at home how great the guide was, and she returned home the other day looking very happy and satisfied!
The driver was also very kind, and I was surprised that he greeted us every time we got out of the vehicle!
Thank you very much to our driver, Mr. Higashionna, and our guide, Mr. Higa!
Both my mother and I have become fans.
Thank you so much for a wonderful trip!

母を初めて沖縄に招待しました。
私は何度も行ったことのある観光地でしたが、
ガイドさんのおかげで移動時間も暇しなく
とても充実した旅でした。

母も家でもガイドさんが良かったと話をしていて、先日嬉しそうに満足そうに帰って行きました！
運転手さんもとても人が良く、降りるたびに毎回声がけをされていて驚きました！
運転手の東恩納さん、ガイドの比嘉さん、本当にありがとうございました！
母娘共々ファンになりました。
ステキな旅を本当に本当にありがとうございました！

I participated alone. I was very impressed to experience the mystery and history of Okinawa. It was great that we could efficiently visit places that are difficult to go to individually. I used this tour for my transfer from the hotel to the airport. I was picked up near the hotel, enjoyed a half-day sightseeing tour, and then was dropped off at the airport, from where I headed straight home.

1人で参加しました。沖縄の神秘と歴史に触れることができ、とても感銘をうけました。個人で行きにくい所を効率よく周れてた点、良かったです。
私はホテル→空港の移動にこのツアーを利用しました。
ホテル近くでピックアップしてもらい、半日観光を満喫のあと、空港で降ろしてもらい、そのまま帰途につきました。

Driving made me anxious, and since I was traveling alone, I was wondering how to spend my time. Then I found out that I could join a tour that allowed solo participants to visit "Kouri Island," which I had always wanted to see. The bus guide's explanations were enjoyable, and we had plenty of time at the Churaumi Aquarium, even getting to see the dolphin show (the scheduling was perfect). Although the sky was overcast, I was very satisfied with "Kouri Island" (I couldn't go to the heart rock on the backside, though).

I didn't have high expectations for American Village, but since it was Christmas time, the decorations were lovely, and I felt like I was in America. I also stumbled upon a hotaru glass shop and got a souvenir for myself. I became friends with a woman sitting next to me, and we even went out for a meal together after the tour. I was hesitant at first, but I'm glad I decided to join. It turned out to be a wonderful memory.

車の運転は不安だし一人旅だし、どのように過ごそうかと思っていたら、一人参加ＯＫでずっと行ってみたかった「古宇利島」にも行けるということで参加ました。バスガイドさんの説明も楽しく、美ら海水族館もたっぷり時間があり、イルカのショーまで見れました（見れるスケジューリングが最高）。空はどんよりしていましたが「古宇利島」（ハートロックは裏側で行くことは出来ませんでしたが）も大満足。
あまり期待していなかったアメリカンビレッジもクリスマス時期だったため、飾り付けが素敵でアメリカにいる雰囲気を味わいました。ほたるガラスのお店も偶然に見つけ、自分へのお土産もゲット。隣に座った女性とも仲良くなり、ツアーの後に一緒に食事まで行きました。迷っていたけど、思い切って参加してよかった。良い思い出になれました。

I participated in a half-day tour in the morning. The guide was experienced, knowledgeable, and provided accurate information, allowing us to enjoy our time with peace of mind. It was great to hear local stories that we wouldn't have understood on our own while holding a guidebook. On the way back, I was dropped off at Naha Airport, where I was able to relax until my departure.

午前中の半日ツアーに参加しました。
ガイドさんがベテランで、知識も豊富、案内も的確で、安心して楽しく過ごせました。
ガイドブック片手に、自分たちだけではわからない地元のお話しなどがきけて、とても良かったです。
帰りは那覇空港でおろしてもらいました。空港でも出発までゆっくりできました。

It was great to be able to tour the main attractions in Naha all day. I especially recommend it for those visiting Okinawa for the first time! Since I didn't have a rental car during my two-night, three-day trip, including this tour in the middle made for a fulfilling Okinawa experience.

終日那覇の主要な場所を観光できてとても良かった。特に初めて沖縄にいく人にはおすすめ！今回二泊三日でレンタカーもなかったので、このツアーを中日にいれたところ、充実した沖縄旅行となった。

I was planning to tour without a rental car and was looking for a tour that would allow me to visit Shurijo Castle, the Valley of Gangala, and Gyokusendo Cave in one day. I found this tour that includes Shurijo Castle and the Valley of Gangala (with a tour inside the valley), which had a perfect schedule for me, so I signed up. The Okinawa World, where Gyokusendo Cave is located, is within walking distance from the Valley of Gangala, so after the tour in the valley, I stayed there and leisurely explored Okinawa World at my own pace before taking a local bus back to my hotel.

On the tour bus, the guide provided detailed explanations about various regions of Okinawa, and they were very kind in accommodating any irregularities on the way back, which was very helpful.

レンタカーなしで観光をする予定で、斎場御嶽とガンガラーの谷、玉泉洞を１日でまわれるツアーを探していたところ、斎場御嶽とガンガラーの谷(谷内ツアー付)に行けるこちらのツアーはまさに都合の良いスケジュールだった為申込みました。ガンガラーの谷から玉泉洞のあるおきなわワールドは徒歩圏内なのでガンガラーの谷内のツアー終了後はそのまま残り、ゆっくりおきなわワールド内を自分のペースで見学をして路線バスで滞在ホテル近くまで帰りました。
ツアーバス内ではバスガイドさんが丁寧に沖縄の各地域を説明してくださったり、帰りは残るイレギュラーにも親切に対応していただいて助かりました。

I was able to create very good memories. While the plan is important for whether the tour is good, I believe that the people involved are even more significant. The tour guide's singing, dancing, storytelling, and responsiveness were all very satisfying. I was also pleased with how the driver went above and beyond my expectations. This tour made me strongly want to visit Okinawa again.

非常によい思い出を作ることができました。ツアーが良いかどうかはプランも重要ですが、何よりも人に拠る点が大きいと思います。ツアーガイドの歌声、踊り、話術、対応等どれも非常に満足がいくものでした。ドライバーも私の要望以上のことをしてくれたことや対応も満足しています。また、沖縄に来たいと強く思わせてくれたツアーでした。

I was able to make very effective use of the morning before my flight departing Naha after 3 PM. The bus guide explained the history of Sefa Utaki using a picture story in the vehicle, and I understood well that the Utaki is a very sacred place.

The approach path has quite a steep slope, so you need to be careful with your footing.

At Okinawa World, I enjoyed seeing the mystical Gyokusendo Cave, the powerful Eisa performance, and various types of Shisa.

那覇15時過ぎ発のフライトまでの午前中の時間をとても有効的に使うことができました。
バスガイドさんが車内で紙芝居を使って斎場御嶽の歴史を説明してくださり、御嶽がとても神聖な場所だということがよくわかりました。
参道はかなり急な坂道を登っていくので足元に注意が必要です。

おきなわワールドでは神秘的な玉泉洞、力強いエイサーのパフォーマンス、いろいろな種類のシーサーなどを見ることができとても楽しかったです。

Recently, many tour guides don't provide much guidance, but the tour guide for this trip sang and danced, introduced various aspects of Okinawa, and made the bus ride enjoyable! ❗(^^)d

最近の添乗員さんは、ガイド的なことされない所が多いですが、こちらのツアーガイドされた方は、歌って踊って、所々沖縄の紹介していただいて、バスに乗っている最中も楽しく過ごすことが出来ました❗(^^)d

The guide was absolutely wonderful! I was moved by the fun stories and the performance and singing of the sanshin! I definitely want to use this service again!

ガイドさんが最高に素晴らしかったです！
楽しいお話や三線の演奏と歌に感動しました！
ぜひまた利用したいです！！

The guide, Mr. Nerome, was full of smiles and dedicated in assisting foreign guests. Bravo! He worked hard to share Okinawa's issues through song and dance. Also, the driver, Mr. Oshima, always greeted us with "Welcome back" when we returned to the bus. I was glad to have both of them as guides.

However, what was disappointing, given how great it was, was...

In the email received after the tour, it said,
"We're looking forward to your experience sharing!"
"That was the best time of my life!" "I definitely want to participate again!"
Please share your genuine thoughts to help other travelers!

While I understand there are individual differences, it felt somewhat like there was pressure to write something positive.

外国人のお客さんに対しても笑顔いっぱいで、献身的にご案内くださったガイドの根路銘さん、ブラボーです。歌に踊りに、沖縄の問題を知ってもらおうと頑張っておられました。そして、バスへ戻る際にいつも「おかえりなさい」と声をかけてくださったドライバーの大城さん、お二人にご案内頂けて良かったです。

とても良かったが故に残念だったのが・・・、

ツアー利用後に届いたメール内、
参加体験談の書き込みをお待ちしています！
「人生最高の時間だった！」「ぜひもう一度参加したい！」など、
他の旅行者の参考となるようなリアルな声をぜひお聞かせください！

個人差もあるかと思いますが、なんだか、良い事を書いてくれと強要されている印象を受けました。

It was a journey from mid-winter to mid-summer. It was a wonderful experience with nature still largely preserved. One downside was the poor toilet situation in Okinawa, which was concerning. With the Olympics approaching, many tourists will likely visit, so I hope for improvements soon.

What impressed me the most was the wonderful service from our guide! I was moved when they sang Okinawan folk songs accompanied by the sanshin. Their thoughtfulness, smiles, and singing were the best. If I visit again, I would love to ride on that guide's bus.

If I had to mention something negative, it would be the presence of some poorly behaved tourists who didn't respect the schedule. That was disappointing. However, it was still a fun day. I sincerely thank you. Thank you very much.

真冬から真夏への旅でした。
自然がまだまだ残されている素晴らしい観光でした。少し残念なのは
沖縄のトイレ事情の悪さが気になりました。多分オリンピックと共に
多くの観光客が訪れるでしょうから・・・出来たら早めの改善を願います。
特に感動したのはガイドの方の対応の素晴らしさ！また三線と共に沖縄民謡を
歌ってくださり、感激しました。気配り、笑顔、歌声・・最高でした。
また訪れることがあったら、あのガイドさんのバスに乗せていただきたいですね。強いて言うとマナーの悪い観光客がいたこと。時間を守らないメンバー。
残念でした。しかしながら楽しい一日でした。心よりお礼を申し上げます。
ありがとうございました。

It was affordable and great for visiting famous tourist spots in Okinawa. At Pineapple Park, I ran out of time while exploring the grounds, so I skipped the tour and focused on juice tasting and shopping. This was my second visit to the Churaumi Aquarium, and it was impressive to see the manta rays and whale sharks swimming gracefully. Ocean Expo Park has various attractions besides the aquarium, so even three hours felt short. I think you could easily spend a whole day just exploring Ocean Expo Park.

沖縄の有名な観光場所を見て回るのには手頃で良かったです。
パイナップルパークは園内を回っていると時間がなくなるので、園内見学をパスしてジュースの試飲やショッピングに時間をあてました。
美ら海水族館は2回目ですが、マンタやジンベイザメが悠然と泳いでいるのは見応えがありました。海洋博公園は、水族館以外にも見るところがいろいろとあるので、3時間でも短いくらいでした。
海洋博公園だけでも一日見て回れると思います。

You can visit tourist spots efficiently, and the cost-performance is not bad. The guide was cheerful and the singing was good. There is enough free time at the tourist sites, so you can enjoy yourself thoroughly. I can recommend it for solo travelers.

無駄なく観光地を周れてCPも悪くは無いです。ガイドさんが明るくで歌も良かったです。それなりに観光地での自由時間があるので十分に楽しめます。一人で観光ならオススメできます。

I participated in the courses at Sefa Utaki and Okinawa World. I was given plenty of time at both locations, which allowed me to enjoy them at a leisurely pace. A guide named Tamaki from Toyo Kanko was our bus guide, and she was very charming. She sang a song by BEGIN and introduced Okinawa using her own drawings, making the journey enjoyable as well. I initially joined the tour for the convenience of transportation, but meeting this guide made me really glad I participated. Next time, I would like to join the course for the Valley of Gangala and Sefa Utaki.

斎場御嶽や沖縄ワールドのコースに参加しました。その2箇所で十分に時間をとってもらえたので、余裕を持って楽しめました。
東陽観光の玉城さんという方がバスガイドをしてくださいましたが、とても可愛らしく、BEGINの歌を歌ってくれたり、ご自分で描いた絵を使って沖縄を紹介してくれたり、移動中も楽しめました。移動の利便性だけで参加したツアーでしたが、このガイドさんに会えて、本当に参加してよかったと思いました。
今度はガンがラーの谷＆斎場御嶽のコースで参加したいです。

I participated in the course to visit Sefa Utaki and the Valley of Gangala. On the last morning, I felt like I wanted to relax at the hotel, but I was glad I joined the tour. The time spent at each destination was just right, and I was able to enjoy it thoroughly. It would have been nice if they could pick me up at the hotel, so I could have spent the morning more leisurely.

斎場御嶽とガンガラーの谷へ行くコースに参加。最終日の朝はゆっくりホテルで過ごしたい気持ちもありましたが、参加して正解でした。それぞれの訪問先での時間も丁度良く、十分楽しむことができました。
出来ればホテルまで迎えに来てくれると、朝がもっとゆっくり過ごせて良いんだけどなぁ。

I have traveled to Okinawa several times, and the one-day bus tour was comfortable without having to drive. I would like to use a tour for my next trip to Okinawa as well.

何回か沖縄旅行に来ましたが、1日バスツアーで運転せずに快適でした。次の沖縄旅行もツアーを利用したいと思います。

The tour itself was fine but most people going from Naha have to be ready to waste 2-3 hours picking up people in other areas before actually going to the attractions. (Same with going back home)

The bus driver was rude af and racist towards the foreigners.

At first I thought the guide was fine but then oops nope changed my mind. In the aquarium it was very windy and we had to stop 3 times in random places outside the building to hear her explanation in Japanese so its like wasting 20-30 minutes while having yourself blown by the strong wind.

And when she distributed the ticket, she called in all of the Japanese passengers first by their names and after all the Japanese have their tickets. She gestured to all the foreigners to come to her and get the tickets by ourselves. Which is very rude and racist.

The tour says it will provide english, chinese and korean guides throughout the whole day but none. Only some random english tapes are played and the guide talks in Japanese a lot throughout the day.

And mind you 60% of the people who joined are foreigners and only 20% speaks English. I genuinely feel sorry for the Chinese and Korean who comes to the tour thinking it will provide them with some guides but no.

Also the bus driver, he makes noises from inside the bus every 5 minutes before the departure time at each spot as if reminding us to hurry up. And he talks to the tourguide keep blaming how the "foreigners" are slow blablabla probably thinking "foreigners" don't understand Japanese.

The bus driver is very racist and rude also the whole tour is just okay.

Went by another company the next day and was surprised at how interactive the guide was plus it was 100 times wayyy better.

I was able to learn about the southern region through the guide's explanations on the bus. The tour of the Gangala Valley had very clear and easy-to-understand commentary, which was great. Additionally, the service of Sanpin tea made it comfortable.

バスでのガイドさんの説明で南部の概要を知ることができました。
ガンガラーの谷のツアーでは、解説もすごいわかりやすくてよかったです。また、サンピン茶のサービスもあり快適でした。

I was worried about not being able to drive, but I had a fulfilling day on the bus tour! I was able to take a nice long nap on the bus too! I had to leave the tour partway due to hotel arrangements, but the bus guide and driver were very kind, and a taxi arrived quickly, so I was able to get to the hotel right away! It was truly the best. I recommend spending a day relaxing on the bus too!

車が運転できなくて、どうしようかと思っていたけど、バスツアーで充実した１日を過ごせました！
バスの中はたっぷりお昼寝もできましたよー！
ホテルの都合で途中離団したのですが、バスガイドさんと運転手さんがとても良くしてくれて、タクシーもすぐに来てくれて、ホテルにもすぐ行けました！
本当に最高でした。
皆さんも１日はバスでのんびりするのもいいですよ〜

i very recomended this tour
you can learn a lot of cultural experience by join this tour

Both Sefa Utaki and the Gangala Valley are valuable experiences thanks to the guide's thorough explanations. It's also convenient for those returning in the afternoon.

斎場御嶽もガンガラーの谷も　ガイドさんの丁寧な説明があってこそ、価値が分かります。午後便で帰るにも便利です。

I went to the meeting place for the bus tour and when I announced my name, it wasn't on the list. While the tour company was checking, I was left waiting in the rain and couldn't get on the bus. Eventually, I was allowed on, but there were no seats available, and I was made to sit in the front row where I couldn't stretch my legs, which was very painful for me since I have a knee injury. I was glad I brought the voucher, but I can't help but wonder what would have happened if I hadn't, since it said, "Submission of the voucher to the local operating company is not required."

This time, since it was in Japan, I could communicate, but I shudder to think what would have happened if it were overseas. I had a good experience with your company in Bangkok and Phuket, and my wife was happy, so I requested your services again, but I was disappointed.

The good thing was that the bus guide was very considerate, and the sight of the whale sharks and manta rays at the Churaumi Aquarium was magnificent. Next time, I will be going to Vietnam during Golden Week, and I plan to rely on your company again. Please ensure there are no troubles.

バスツアーの待ち合わせ場所に行き名前を告げると名簿になく、ツアー会社に問い合わせ中、バスの中に入れてもらえず雨の中待たされるはめになったり、ようやく乗せてもらえることになったが、席がなく普段座らせない足が延ばせない一番前の席に座らせれ、膝を痛めている私にとって大変苦痛でした、バウチャーを持って行ったから良かったけれど、「現地催行会社へのバウチャー提出は不要です」と持って行かなかったどうなっていたか。
今回、日本だったから言葉が通じたが、これが海外だったらと思うとゾッとします。御社とは、バンコクやプーケットでお世話になり妻も喜んでくれたので今回もお願いしたのですががっかりでした。
良かった事は、バスガイドが大変気遣って頂いた事と美ら海水族館のジンベイザメやマンタの水槽の壮観さ素晴らしいものでした。
次回、ＧＷにベトナムに行きます、また御社にお世話になろうと思います、トラブル無いように宜しく

I was able to efficiently visit two locations as a solo participant. I had plenty of time to see Sefa Utaki. At the Valley of Gangala, I walked with about 20 people, including the local guide and other guests, and enjoyed the tour thanks to the guide's easy-to-understand explanations. There were a few other solo participants, so it was fun to chat while walking.

1人参加で、効率よく二か所を回ることができました。斎場御嶽も見る時間はたっぷりありました。ガンガラーの谷は現地のガイドさんと他のお客さんと一緒に20人くらいで歩きますが、ガイドさんの分かりやすい説明で楽しく回ることができました。一人参加の方も何人かいたので途中お話しながら歩けて楽しかったです。

The orchid greenhouse at Tropical Dream Land captivated me with its scale and grandeur, surpassing that of the orchid gardens in Chiang Mai, Thailand. At the same time, I was delighted to see rare fruit varieties in the tropical fruit corner that I had not encountered during my previous visits to Malaysia, Ho Chi Minh City, and Taiwan.

At American Village, I enjoyed a chicken burger set at A&W, which was recommended by my guide. When it comes to American hamburgers, I've eaten at McDonald's, Burger King, Wimpy, and Dairy Queen, but the burgers from this chain had a unique flavor that reminded me of the ones I had in mainland America. After returning home, I researched this burger chain and found out that it started in mainland America nearly a hundred years ago and has been operating exclusively in Okinawa, Japan, for over 50 years. It was a burger of surprisingly high quality.

熱帯ドリームランドのランの温室は、タイのチェンマイのラン園を凌ぐ規模と迫力に魅了された。同時に南国の果実のコーナーでは、かつて訪問したマレーシア、ホーチミン、台湾で見かけなかった珍しい果実種が鑑賞できたことは収穫でした。

アメリカンヴィレッジでは、ガイトに薦めてもらったA&Wでチキンバーガーセットを食しました。アメリカのハンバーガーと言えば、マクドナルド、バーガーキング、ウィンピー、デアリークィーンで食べましたが、このチェーン店のバーガーは一味違い、アメリカ本土で食べたバーガーを思い出させる味がしました。帰宅してからこのバーガーチェインを調べてみると、約百年前に米本土で始まり、日本では沖縄のみでの展開で50年以上となるとのことです。予想以上に質の良いバーガーでした。

For my son, it was his first time, and my second visit to Okinawa's Churaumi Aquarium. It was a fun experience throughout, led by a knowledgeable bus guide who sang and danced. Everyone from various countries who participated in the tour came together to spend a meaningful day.

Last year, we rented a car and stayed overnight on the way to the Churaumi Aquarium. With skilled driving, we left at 8:20 AM and even with leisurely sightseeing and breaks, we were able to return to the meeting place an hour early at 5:30 PM, making for a rich and fulfilling time without feeling tired.

息子にとっては初めての、私は2回目の沖縄、美ら海水族館行きは、唄って 踊って 知識豊富なバスガイドさんのリードで 終始楽しく、ツアーに参加した色々な国からの 老若男女全員が ひとつになって過ごせた有意義な一日となりました。
昨年はレンタカーを借りて、途中で一泊して美ら海水族館に向かいましたが、上手な運転で、朝8:20に出発して、全てゆっくり見学、休憩しても、1時間早く5:30に集合場所に戻ることが出来て 疲れ知らずの濃厚なひとときとなりました。

I signed up to pass the time until the marathon registration. The explanation from the guide was easy to understand, and I enjoyed it in a hiking mood.

マラソンの受付までの時間潰しに申し込みました。解説の方の説明もわかり易く、ハイキング気分で楽しめました。

The bus guide's talk was helpful, and it was great to gain knowledge during the sightseeing! Both Sefa Utaki and Gyokusendo Cave were more impressive than I expected. If the timing works after the bus arrives, I recommend watching the Eisa performance! It was powerful and exhilarating! It's a great suggestion for the last day's sightseeing!

バスガイドさんの話も参考になり観光の際に知識も得られて良かったです！
斎場御嶽も玉泉洞も思った以上に見応えがありました。
バス到着後時間が合えばエイサーを観覧することをおすすめします！
迫力があり心が躍る感じで楽しめました！
最終日の観光におすすめです！
