A little disappointing.

The parking lot was empty, but the bus stopped at the second parking lot, requiring quite a walk. Perhaps due to the small number of people, we were in a microbus with cramped seating, and despite the current times, it felt close and crowded next to each other. There were few places and times to eat, and some people brought bento bought along the way onto the moving bus to eat, which was quite disappointing during a time when we want to be cautious about COVID-19.

The temples, shrines, and scenery we visited were very nice, so I felt that if these issues were improved, it could be a great tour. 駐車場が。空いているのに、バスは、第2駐車場に止まり、かなり歩いたこと。
人数が少なかった為か、マイクロバスで席も狭く、この時代なのに隣と近くて、密な感じであった。
食事を食べられる時間や場所が少なくて、途中で買った弁当などを走行中のバスに持ち込み、食べる方もいたりと、コロナ感染に注意したい時代に大変残念だった。
回ったお寺や神社、景色などは、とても良かったため、このあたりが改善されたら良いツアーとなると感じた。

Dear Cheese,

Thank you for always using Veltra. We sincerely apologize for any disappointment you experienced during your participation in the Itoshima bus tour. We feel regretful on behalf of the local operating company.

We have confirmed the situation on the day of the tour with the operating company. Regarding the parking situation, we believe it pertains to the visit to the salt production facility at Mataichi. The road leading to the facility is very narrow, and there are limited places where the bus can park, so it can only be parked in designated areas. However, we regret that we did not inform you in advance that it takes about 10 minutes to walk to the facility, as this information was not included on our page. We appreciate your feedback, and we have added this information to the tour page.

We also sincerely apologize for any concerns regarding COVID-19 measures. While we provide free seating, we recognize that it was necessary for the tour guide to remind participants about COVID-19 precautions on the day of the tour. Although we generally prohibit eating and drinking on board, we have taken strict measures to ensure thorough communication with each customer, especially given the current circumstances.

We understand that the lack of information regarding walking distances and COVID-19 measures negatively impacted your impression of the trip. On behalf of the operating company, we apologize once again.

Thank you very much for sharing your valuable experience.

Although the weather was unfortunately not great, I was able to efficiently enjoy sightseeing in Itoshima. Since it's relatively close to Fukuoka City, I think you can take your time there. There were surprisingly unknown tourist spots, and my friends who came from other prefectures were delighted. The salt pudding from Kōbō Totan was delicious! It was a fun tour where I could buy various souvenirs.生憎のお天気でしたが、効率よく糸島の観光が出来ました。福岡市内から比較的近いため、時間的にも割とゆっくり出来ると思います。意外と知らない観光地もあり、他県から参加した友人も喜んでいました。
工房とったんの塩プリン、美味しかったです!お土産もいろいろ買えて楽しいツアーでした。

I was able to adjust the schedule to fully explore the Itoshima Peninsula. The extreme heat was tough, but I think it's great for first-time visitors.糸島半島を、ぐるっと時間を調整しながらスケジュールが全うできるようにしていただきました。猛暑は、こたえましたが初めての人にはいいと思います。

I visited Senjyuji without any prior information and was pleasantly surprised by how wonderful it was. The chanting by the monk in front of the several-meter-tall Kannon statue was a truly great experience.

Since this temple is located quite deep in the mountains, I think it's great that it's included in the tour.

However, I found the meal time to be too short, and it was disappointing that Futamigaura was only viewed from the car window. In my personal opinion, I would prefer to skip the salt production facility visit and instead take about 90 minutes for lunch around Futamigaura, possibly at a nearby café, as that would likely enhance overall satisfaction.
全く前情報を得ずに訪れた千如寺だったが思いのほか良くて驚いた。特に数メートルもある千手観音像の前での僧侶による読経は大変良い経験になった。
これが結構な山奥にあるのでツアーに組み込まれているのはありがたいことだと思う。
残念な点は食事時間が短すぎなのと二見ヶ浦が車窓のみだったところです。個人的な意見だが、塩製作所の見学はいらないのでその分二見ヶ浦周辺で90分ぐらい昼食休憩を取って、近くにあるcafeでランチのほうが満足度が高いと思う。

It was raining at Raizan, but the sound of the rain matched the atmosphere of the temple, and I felt my heart being cleansed. I was also able to calmly think about the things that had been troubling me.雷山で雨でしたが、雨音がお寺の雰囲気とあっていて心が洗われた感じがしました。

I was glad that they were flexible in adjusting to changes in dining locations and the ship's departure time. I've heard that the store selling generative groceries is famous, but is it really necessary?食事場所の変更や船の発時間に合わせて移動してもらうなど臨機応変に動いてもらって良かったです。生成食料品を売る店は有名らしいけど、不要かな?

On the first day, we visited Kushida Shrine and Fukuoka Tower, and it rained occasionally. However, on the second day, during the long-awaited Itoshima sightseeing, we didn't mind the rain from the rainy season at all. I thought it was a bus tour, but I learned that it was a taxi tour for just four people. The other three were a friendly and fun group, and the driver was kind and attentive, making my solo trip even more enjoyable. It became a memorable and fun journey of a lifetime.1日目の櫛田神社、福岡タワー見物では時々雨でしたが。2日目待望の糸島観光では気にも梅雨の中雨にもあわず。バスツアーだと思っていたが、4人の為当日タクシー観光と知り、他の3人組は仲良しの楽しい人達、ドライバーさんも親切な気の利いた人で、私の1人旅を盛り上げて呉れました。一生の楽しい旅となりました。

It was crowded with parking and other things during the holiday, but thanks to the driver's careful consideration based on the situation, we were able to enjoy sightseeing smoothly. I was also considering renting a car, but I'm glad I participated in the tour that allowed me to enjoy Itoshima.連休で駐車場など混んでいましたが、状況に応じた運転手さんの細かい配慮で、スムーズに観光できた。 レンターカーの利用も考えていましたが、糸島を楽しめたツアーで参加してよかったです。

I participated despite the unfortunate rain. At the Akoya Great Gate, the driver checked and found that if we left earlier, we would make it in time for the boat, so we headed there for an early lunch and were able to go without any issues. Although the weather wasn't great, everyone who participated and the driver were very pleasant, and I had a wonderful time. At Raizan Senjōji, I was able to hear an explanation from the chief priest, which was very nice. I would like to participate again.あいにくの雨の中参加させていただきました。
芥屋の大門では、時間を早めたら船が間に合うと運転手さんが調べてくださり、お昼を前倒しでそちらに向かい、無事に行くことができました。
天候には恵まれませんでしたが、参加した皆様も運転手の方もとても感じがよく素敵な時間が過ごせました。
 雷山千如寺は住職の方から説明も聞けてとてもよかったです。
また参加してみたいです。

ツアー参加人数が9人で、意外と1人で参加されている方が多かったです。
本来、車窓での観光であった二見ヶ浦では、少し時間があったため5分間だけ車から降りて見ることができました!
また、運転手さんの提案でお昼ごはんも芥屋へ変更したため、遊覧船後に早めに昼食を食べて歩いてトトロの森へ観光出来ました。

効率よく糸島を観光できたため、とても素敵な旅行になりました。
他にもツアーがあるみたいなので、次に来たときは別のツアーに参加します!

I always come to Fukuoka for baseball games, so I hadn't done any sightseeing, but this time I found an Itoshima tour on your website. It was packed with attractions like a temple with a Kannon Hall, waterfalls, and the Couple Rocks. Since it was a tour with five people, it was nice to be able to move around comfortably. Thanks to the driver's consideration, I was able to participate enjoyably. Thank you very much. 福岡にはいつも野球観戦で来ているので、観光はしていませんでしたが、今回は福岡の近場で探すと糸島ツアーを御社のサイトで見つけました。
観音堂のあるお寺、滝、夫婦岩などなど盛りだくさんでした。
5人のツアーだったので、気楽に行動できて良かったです。
運転手さんの気遣いもあり、楽しく参加できました。
ありがとうございました。

The highlight of my three-day girls' trip to Fukuoka was the Itoshima tour. This was all thanks to the thoughtful consideration of our driver, Mr. Matsuda. I was able to enjoy a seafood bowl lunch that I had almost given up on, and I felt a profound sense of awe visiting the Senju-Sengen Kannon at "Raizan Senjō-ji Daihiō-in," which is the top power spot in Fukuoka.

Additionally, I highly recommend the "Akiya no Daimon cruise," suggested by Mr. Matsuda, who read the tide and weather perfectly for the day. I was deeply moved to see the caves formed by erosion up close while being splashed by the waves of the Genkai-nada. Furthermore, thanks to the low tide, I was able to get right next to the torii gate at the iconic couple rocks of Futamigaura in Itoshima. We thoroughly enjoyed sightseeing at all the famous spots, and the memorable photos taken with Mr. M, who joined me on this trip, made it the best journey filled with smiles. This itinerary was something I could never have achieved on my own. If I have the opportunity again, I would definitely like to participate in a bus tour. 2泊3日の女子旅、今回の福岡旅行で1番心に残る観光が糸島ツアーでした。すべては、担当してくださったドライバーの松田様の粋なご配慮のおかげです。半ば諦めていた海鮮丼ランチも堪能し、福岡一のパワースポットである「雷山千如寺大悲王院」の千手千眼観音様をご参拝し霊験あらたかな感動を覚えました。また、この日の潮の流れと天候を読んでドライバーの松田様がご提案くださった「芥屋の大門の遊覧船」もお勧めです。玄界灘の荒波にそそり立ち海蝕によってできた洞窟を、波飛沫を浴びながら間近で見ることができ大変感動しました。さ… 2泊3日の女子旅、今回の福岡旅行で1番心に残る観光が糸島ツアーでした。すべては、担当してくださったドライバーの松田様の粋なご配慮のおかげです。半ば諦めていた海鮮丼ランチも堪能し、福岡一のパワースポットである「雷山千如寺大悲王院」の千手千眼観音様をご参拝し霊験あらたかな感動を覚えました。また、この日の潮の流れと天候を読んでドライバーの松田様がご提案くださった「芥屋の大門の遊覧船」もお勧めです。玄界灘の荒波にそそり立ち海蝕によってできた洞窟を、波飛沫を浴びながら間近で見ることができ大変感動しました。さらに、糸島の象徴である二見ヶ浦の夫婦岩は、引潮のお陰で鳥居すぐ側まで行くことができました。名所々を余すことなく観光し、各地での記念写真は、今回の旅で同行したM様との出会いで、笑顔に満ち溢れた 最高の旅となりました。個人旅行では成し得ない行程の数々でした。またこのような機会がありましたら、是非バスツアーに参加したいと思います。
