I was disappointed because I couldn't visit any of the places due to the heavy rain.

It was raining from the morning. I managed to see the seabed with the glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay... After that, I just stayed on the bus. I wish they had a separate plan for rainy weather. I was disappointed. It might be better to check the weather forecast a couple of days before making a reservation.朝から雨が降っていました。川平湾のグラスボートで海底を見たところまでは何とか・・・ あとは、バスに乗ったままでした。 降雨のプランを別に立ててほしかった。 がっかりしました。 ２，３日前に、天気予報を確認してから申し込んだほうが良いかも。

It was so noisy that I felt sick and fell asleep. Did you not wake me up even when we arrived at the destination? Because of that, I couldn't do any sightseeing. The optional glass-bottom boat also turned into a rescue for a broken boat, so it wasn't sightseeing at all. Give me my money back!うるさいので気分が悪く寝ていたら、目的地に到着しても起こさない？おかげで観光もできず。 オプションのグラスポートも故障したボートの救援になり、観光になっていない。お金を返せ❗️

Thank you very much for participating in the tour. However, we sincerely apologize for not meeting your expectations regarding the glass-bottom boat tour.
Upon confirming with the operating company, we received a report that, as you mentioned, the glass-bottom boat had reduced sightseeing time due to the aftermath of the typhoon and the rescue of a malfunctioning boat. We are truly sorry for this.
The refund for the glass-bottom boat tour has been completed, so please check the email from us.… Thank you very much for participating in the tour. However, we sincerely apologize for not meeting your expectations regarding the glass-bottom boat tour.

On the day of the tour, unfortunately, it rained. Even more disappointing was that I couldn't hear any of the Okinawan language that I had been looking forward to. The guide followed the guidebook too closely, used unnecessary polite language, and engaged in small talk with the driver instead of answering questions. I felt like I wasted my last moments in Ishigaki.当日は残念なことに雨天。それ以上に残念だったのは楽しみにしていたウチナーグチを全く聞けなかったこと。ガイド本通りの案内、不要な丁寧語、質問に対する対応、運転手との無駄話。石垣最後の時間を無駄に過ごしたと残念だった。

I walked and toured Taketomi Island and Ishigaki Island. I was very satisfied. Eight years ago, I traveled to Ishigaki Island, Taketomi Island, Kohama Island, Iriomote Island, and Yufu Island with my wife. This time, it was a free trip.竹富島・石垣島をウォーキング＆観光しました。 大変、満足しました。 ８年前、妻と一緒に石垣島・竹富島・小浜島・西表島・由布島を観光しました。 今回は、自由旅行です。

I think it would be better if you put more effort into things like caves, pottery, and glass-making. If things stay as they are, it won't be good. The Chinese Temple, the observation deck, and the food are not particularly unique. Why not start something more enjoyable? There's no sense of excitement at all. As it stands, you won't capture the hearts of young people, and it's not fun for the elderly either.鍾乳洞 陶芸 ガラス作りとか もつと工夫をしたらいいと思います 今のままではダメになりますよ 唐人の寺 展望台 食事も珍しく有りません もっと楽しいこと始めません ワクワク感がぜんぜんない 今のままで若い人の心掴めません 年寄りでも全然楽しくない

Due to heavy rain and strong winds, most people didn't even get off the bus to see the entrance of the jungle, and at Kabira Bay, we only looked for a minute before returning to the bus. At the first cemetery, no one got off, and I couldn't understand the purpose of the tour.大雨強風で、ジャングルは入口見るだけで降りない人がほとんどだし川平湾も1分見てバスに戻る始末。最初のお墓にいたっては、誰も降りずなんのためのツアーなのかわかりませんでした。

I was disappointed because I was expecting the color of the sea. The guide's talk was interesting, and time passed quickly. I took a glass-bottom boat, but the weather was bad, and the coral reef was not great. The lunch was just okay. It was good for the price to make a quick round, but I think it depends on the weather.海の色を期待していたので、残念。 案内の人のトークが面白くて、時間が過ぎるのが早かった。 グラスボートに乗りましたが、天気が悪くて珊瑚礁もう一つでした。 お昼の食事はまあまあ。 ざっと一周するには、値段の割によかったですが、天気によると思います。

The lunch was delicious, and it would have been perfect if the sun had come out.お天気に左右されますが、安くてランチ付きで一周できます。 男性ガイドさんの楽しい島唄、さんしんの音色で、時間はあっと言うまに過ぎました。 今回は天気が悪くて、石垣島の海の色はもうひとつでした。残念でした。 ランチもおいしかったし、これで晴れ間が出れば最高だったのですが。

The morning bus tour with lunch was a good value and highly recommended. The ingredients for lunch were great, and the pickled bitter melon was the best. I wanted to buy some to take home. I enjoyed it very much.
I made a mistake and got the date wrong, which caused trouble for the bus company, Beltora. However, thanks to the bus company's proper advice, I was able to change it to the next day, which made me happy. Without the bus company's advice, I would have lost my payment. I would also like to thank Beltora and the bus company for their assistance. お天気が悪くて、楽しみにしていたマリーンブルーを見ることができませんでした。 マリーンブルーへの期待が大きかったため、少々がっかり。 男性ガイドさんの”さんしん”の音色と地元の島唄 ツアー中楽しませてくれます。 唐人墓、川平湾、玉取崎展望台、ヤエヤマヤシの林と盛りだくさんで、お得です。 午前発ランチ付きのバスツアー お得でお勧めです。 ランチの食材もよかったし、ゴーヤの漬け物最高でした。買って帰りたいくらいでした。おいしくいただきました。
It was disappointing that it rained, the weather wasn't good, and it was a bit cold. The only saving grace was being able to see the emerald green sea. Also, I was able to see the corals clearly from the glass-bottom boat.雨降りで、天候が良くなく、少し寒くて残念でした。救いはエメラルドグリーンの海が見れたことです。それからグラスボートでサンゴの様子がしっかり見えたことぐらい。

I didn't have as much time as I thought, and my actions were quite rushed. I really wanted to take my time and look around, but I couldn't, which was very disappointing. Even though I came all the way to Ishigaki Island, I only have memories of being rushed and not being able to enjoy it. (laughs) If I had known, it would have been better to rent a car and explore at a more leisurely pace.思ってた以上に時間に余裕がなくバタバタの行動でした。もっとゆっくり見たいけど見れなかったのが凄く残念でした。せっかく石垣島まで来たのにゆっくり見れなくバタバタしたって言う思い出しかなかったです(笑)こんな事ならレンタカー借りてゆっくり回った方がよかったです。

The weather was bad, so the points where you could see the beautiful scenery lacked impact. It's better not to have high expectations for lunch. It's a shame that there is only a round tour available in the morning.

Additionally, there were some unrealistic aspects in the itinerary. Even though the roads weren't congested, I was told to return quickly from the first drop-off point because there wasn't enough time, and lunch was only 40 minutes, making it a rushed tour.
On the positive side, the driver's bright smile was wonderful!

The time spent at each sightseeing spot is far too short. There's nothing you can do except for using the restroom. Please allocate more time at the main locations.
Also, is there any way to improve the meals at Auntie Pozer's table? The main hamburger is too bland. The tempura of white fish has no flavor at all, and there are no seasonings like salt. The small noodle soup is too greasy. I felt that the variety of side dishes was just for the sake of having many.

Unfortunately, due to the rain, it wasn't the tour I had imagined. While it was understandable that we couldn't ride the glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay, we were forced to peek into the pearl center due to bus parking issues, and the Awamori shop we were introduced to was closed... I at least wanted to visit the souvenir shops on the main parking lot side. The taste of the hamburger for lunch was also just okay...
However, the bus guide and driver were polite and entertaining.生憎の雨降りということもあり、想像していたようなツアーではありませんでした。 川平湾でグラスボートに乗れなかったのは仕方がないのですが、バスの駐車の関係で真珠センターを無理やり覗かされ、紹介された泡盛の店は休業… せめてメインの駐車場側で土産物店をまわりたかった。 昼食のハンバーグの味もイマイチ…
