We used it for the first time as a couple, and it was really great. On the bus, the guide performed songs and dances and taught us, which made it very lively. I want to use it again! ♬夫婦で 初めて利用しましたが 凄く良かったです。 バスの中では ガイドさんが 歌や踊りを披露して下さったり 教えて下さったりと 凄く盛り上がりました(*^^*) また 利用したいです♬

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.

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… 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

While it was great that we could efficiently tour the sights, there were a few concerns outside of sightseeing. - The bus arrived late, but there was no explanation or apology for the delay. - Although the tour description did not mention that the guide would sing or dance, many reviews highlighted how enjoyable the guide's singing and dancing were. I was looking forward to this, but instead, I only remember a long discussion about flowers that was not particularly interesting. - The guide so… While it was great that we could efficiently tour the sights, there were a few concerns outside of sightseeing. - The bus arrived late, but there was no explanation or apology for the delay. - Although the tour description did not mention that the guide would sing or dance, many reviews highlighted how enjoyable the guide's singing and dancing were. I was looking forward to this, but instead, I only remember a long discussion about flowers that was not particularly interesting. - The guide sometimes spoke in honorifics, but then would casually use phrases like "sometimes," and I found the frequent use of "the person" to be bothersome. - The person in front of me leaned back not just a little, but significantly into my space. Since I was alone, I moved to the seat next to me, but I would have appreciated an announcement from the guide about proper etiquette regarding reclining seats. - Since there were people with mobility issues, it would have been better to have a step stool when getting off the bus. - There was a shopping stop during the itinerary, but I would have liked some recommendations on what was delicious or an explanation about the items.
I have participated in several other bus tours, and compared to those, this one lacked consideration. I was disappointed, especially since the reviews had been positive. I think it is good for efficiently visiting tourist spots, but I learned that it should not be expected to be the same as the experiences described in the reviews. 効率良く観光が出来た事は良かったのですが、観光以外で気になる事がいくつかありました。 ・集合時間よりバスが遅れてきたのに、遅れた 理由の説明や謝罪がなかった ・ツアーの内容にガイドさんが歌や踊り、三線 を行いますと記載はないものの、体験談にガ イドさんの歌や踊りが良かったという意見が 多数あり、予約をする際の決定打で楽しみに していたのに、そのような事はなくさほど興 味のない花の話を長い間していた記憶しかな い ・敬語を話してるかと思えば『時たま』と言っ てみたり、 話の節々に『… 効率良く観光が出来た事は良かったのですが、観光以外で気になる事がいくつかありました。 ・集合時間よりバスが遅れてきたのに、遅れた 理由の説明や謝罪がなかった ・ツアーの内容にガイドさんが歌や踊り、三線 を行いますと記載はないものの、体験談にガ イドさんの歌や踊りが良かったという意見が 多数あり、予約をする際の決定打で楽しみに していたのに、そのような事はなくさほど興 味のない花の話を長い間していた記憶しかな い ・敬語を話してるかと思えば『時たま』と言っ てみたり、 話の節々に『～の方』としつこく 使っていて気になった ・前の人が座席の背もたれを少しではなく背も たれの幅位倒してきた。１人だったので隣の 席に移動したが、ガイドさんが背もたれを倒 す際のマナーをアナウンスをするなりしてほ しかった ・足が悪い人もいたので、バスを降りる時にス テップ台があった方が良かった ・行程の中で買い物をする場所があったが、何 が美味しいとか、説明がほしかった 幾つか他のバスツアーに参加した事がありますが、それと比較すると配慮が足りず体験談が良かっただけにがっかりしました。 観光地を効率良くまわるには良いとおもいます。体験談と同じだとは思ってはダメだと言うことが今回でわかりました。

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。
There was so much to do that there wasn't enough time.

Kouri Island's beach was narrower than I expected, and I wasn't particularly impressed. The Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium had a large tank, which was nice, but it was quite crowded, so I couldn't take my time to enjoy it. Especially at the beginning, it gets busy, so I think it's better to pass through as quickly as possible. I had my meal next to the large tank of the hammerhead shark, but there are few seats and you have to line up to buy, so it's better to get there early.

I had my meal next to the large tank of the hammerhead shark, but there are few seats and you have to line up to buy, so it's better to get there early. The dolphin show seems to be popular, and seats fill up about 30 minutes before it starts, so if you arrive at the last minute, you'll have to stand.
I ended up shopping quite a bit at Okashi Goten.
Manzamo was just a quick shot.
Ryukyu Village had better dancing than I expected, and I think I would have enjoyed it more if I could have taken my time. 古宇利島は思ったよりビーチが狭く、今ひとつ感動できなかった。美ら海水族館は大水槽もあってよかったのですが、いかんせん混んでいてゆっくりと見れなかった。特に最初の方は混みあうので、できるだけ早く通り過ぎるほうが良いと思う。食事は甚平鮫の大水槽の横でとったのですが、席が少ないのと買うのに列できるので早めにとる方が良いと思う。イルカのショーは人気あるようで30分くらいから席が埋まるのでギリギリに行くと立ち見になる。 御菓子御伝ではしっかりと買い物してしまった。 万座毛はワンショットだけ。 琉球村は思ったより踊… 古宇利島は思ったよりビーチが狭く、今ひとつ感動できなかった。美ら海水族館は大水槽もあってよかったのですが、いかんせん混んでいてゆっくりと見れなかった。特に最初の方は混みあうので、できるだけ早く通り過ぎるほうが良いと思う。食事は甚平鮫の大水槽の横でとったのですが、席が少ないのと買うのに列できるので早めにとる方が良いと思う。イルカのショーは人気あるようで30分くらいから席が埋まるのでギリギリに行くと立ち見になる。 御菓子御伝ではしっかりと買い物してしまった。 万座毛はワンショットだけ。 琉球村は思ったより踊りも良かったしもう少しゆっくりとできたら楽しめたと思う。

Dear Hitoriaruki,
Thank you for participating in our bus tour. We also appreciate you sharing your experience.
Our bus tour is designed to efficiently visit various sightseeing spots, and we hope to make further improvements based on your valuable feedback and impressions to create an even better sightseeing bus tour. Thank you very much.
At the Churaumi Aquarium, we had two hours of free time, but it took an hour to find another restaurant because the one we went to was crowded. I think it would be helpful to have a notice about bringing lunch. The guide wasn't very talkative, and I wished they had shared more about Okinawa. Because of that, it seemed like most people were sleeping on the bus. I thought the time allocation for the rest of the activities was good.美ら海水族館では２時間の自由時間がありましたが、レストランが混んでいてほかを探していたら１時間かかりました。ランチ持参などのお知らせがあったほうがいいと思います。 ガイドさんはあまり饒舌ではなく、沖縄の事をもっと話してほしかったです。そのため,皆さんはバスの中ではほとんどが寝ていたようです。 その他の時間配分は良かったと思います。

It's understandable that various facilities are closed due to COVID-19 measures, but the issue was the bus guide. The incomprehensible Japanese they spoke was extremely grating and exhausting. If they want to work as a guide, I hope they study Japanese properly. The organization from start to finish was poor, and I was really tired.コロナ対策の為色々な施設が閉まってるのは仕方ない事ですが、問題はバスガイドさんです。意味不明な日本語を永遠に話すので物凄く耳障りかつしんどかったです。ガイドを仕事にするなら日本語をしっかり勉強して欲しいです。最初から最後まで段取りも悪く本当に疲れました。

I visited Okinawa for the first time and participated in this tour. It covers various attractions, but the time spent at each location is short, so there isn't enough time to really look around or shop. I thought it would be better not to have high expectations for Ryukyu Village, as it seemed quite run down.初めて沖縄に行き、こちらのツアーに参加しました。満遍なく名所を回れますが、滞在時間が短くじっくり見ることも買い物する時間もありません。琉球村はかなり廃れていたので期待しない方がいいなと思いました。

Ryukyu Village was unnecessary for the tour.

I didn't find Ryukyu Village necessary. It was an old facility with not much to see. If the ticket price is 2,000 yen, I would have preferred to either reduce the tour cost or allow more time to stay at Banta Cafe. While it might be worth it for foreigners, I felt it wasn't a tourist spot worth visiting without a tour, as it seemed deserted.

I searched for a tour from Naha to the Churaumi Aquarium and decided on this packed tour from VELTRA, which I always use. My honest impression is that maybe just the Churaumi Aquarium would have been enough?

My honest impression is that maybe just the Churaumi Aquarium would have been enough? This aquarium has the famous large tank, and the power of this tank is incredible; I was captivated for a long time watching the graceful swimming of whale sharks and rays. There’s also an outdoor area with dolphins and manatees, and above all, the aquarium grounds are spacious, so it takes time to walk around. Unfortunately, the two hours we had were not enough, and I regretted not being able to spend more time at the aquarium if we were going to allocate time to places like the Okashi Goten and Ryukyu Village. Next time, I’ll choose a tour that focuses more on the aquarium (maybe plus one more stop?).
From referring to other experiences, I realized that the biggest issue with this bus tour was that the foreign male guide had difficulty with Japanese and didn’t provide any explanations beyond the meeting and departure times. I really wanted to have a good guide… 美ら海水族館に那覇から行けるツアーを探して、いつも利用しているVELTRAさんのツアーを検索し、盛りだくさんのこちらのツアーに決めました。率直な感想としては、美ら海水族館だけでよかったかな？こちらの水族館には、例の有名な大水槽があり、この水槽の迫力はすごくて、ジンベイザメやエイなどが優雅に泳ぐ様子に長らく目を奪われます。屋外でもイルカやマナティーのコーナーもあり、何より、水族館の敷地も広くて、歩き回るにも時間がかかります。とても決められた２時間では時間が足りず、残念でした。お菓子御殿や琉球村等に時間を… 美ら海水族館に那覇から行けるツアーを探して、いつも利用しているVELTRAさんのツアーを検索し、盛りだくさんのこちらのツアーに決めました。率直な感想としては、美ら海水族館だけでよかったかな？こちらの水族館には、例の有名な大水槽があり、この水槽の迫力はすごくて、ジンベイザメやエイなどが優雅に泳ぐ様子に長らく目を奪われます。屋外でもイルカやマナティーのコーナーもあり、何より、水族館の敷地も広くて、歩き回るにも時間がかかります。とても決められた２時間では時間が足りず、残念でした。お菓子御殿や琉球村等に時間を割くのであれば、水族館に十分時間をかけたかったです。次は水族館（＋１くらい？）のツアーにします！ ※他の体験談を参照して、今回のバスツアーは、ガイドの外国人男性が日本語も不自由で、何時に集合・出発以外、これといった説明もしていただけなかったことが一番の問題だとわかりました。良いガイドさんにあたりたかったです…。

Stay at "Churaumi Aquarium" was 2 hours and 30 minutes. It takes about 10 minutes to walk from the bus stop to the aquarium entrance. Just moving back and forth takes 20 minutes. It's such a large facility that you can't see everything, and although it was lunchtime, there was no time to eat. There are events like dolphin shows, but if you watch those, you won't be able to go to other places. The show times don't match the stay duration either. I've heard that locals and individual travelers spend a whole day at Churaumi Aquarium. So, it can't be helped. Since it was my third time, it was okay for me, but my sister, who was with me and visiting for the first time, felt it was unfortunate... She was also disappointed.
About 45 minutes at "Okashi Goten." The products from Okashi Goten can be bought at the airport, Kokusai Street, and various leisure facilities... You can buy them anywhere. This place could really be done in 20 minutes.
About 50 minutes at "Ryukyu Mura." It's a tourist facility, but it's quick to get from the bus stop to the entrance, so there's no waste. It felt like we were just walking quickly and glancing around.
The "driver" drove safely. Every time we got on and off, he said, "Have a good trip" and "Welcome back." He was pleasant.
The "guide" spoke slowly and provided easy-to-understand explanations about Okinawa's history and culture. He was also pleasant.
The tour content was a bit lacking, but for those visiting Okinawa for the first time, it might be just fine. I think it will be helpful for my next visit. 『沖縄の美しいビーチ：古宇利島』の滞在がたったの２０分。写真を撮って、トイレに入ったら集合時間。地場野菜やお土産等、見ている時間はありません。 『ちゅら海水族館』の滞在が２時間３０分。バスの発着所から水族館入口まで徒歩１０分。移動だけで往復２０分。 巨大施設なので回り切れないし、昼食時間でしたが、摂る時間などありません。イルカショー等のイベントもありますが、それを観たら他の所は行けません。そもそもショーの開始時間が滞在時間と合いません。ちゅら海水族館て所は 地元の方や個人旅行の方は 一日かけて行くそ… 『沖縄の美しいビーチ：古宇利島』の滞在がたったの２０分。写真を撮って、トイレに入ったら集合時間。地場野菜やお土産等、見ている時間はありません。 『ちゅら海水族館』の滞在が２時間３０分。バスの発着所から水族館入口まで徒歩１０分。移動だけで往復２０分。 巨大施設なので回り切れないし、昼食時間でしたが、摂る時間などありません。イルカショー等のイベントもありますが、それを観たら他の所は行けません。そもそもショーの開始時間が滞在時間と合いません。ちゅら海水族館て所は 地元の方や個人旅行の方は 一日かけて行くそうです。だから仕方ないのですが。私は３回目だったので、まぁいいのですが、一緒に行った妹は初めてだったので可哀想な事したな…と。妹も残念がっていました。 『御菓子御殿』に約４５分。御菓子御殿の商品は空港・国際通り・ちょっとしたレジャー施設…。とにかくどこでも買えます。ココこそ２０分で良いのでは？ 『琉球村』約５０分。観光施設ですが、バスの発着所から入口まで直ぐなので無駄はないです。とにかく早歩きで流し観る感じでした。 『ドライバーさん』安全運転。乗車・下車の度「いってらっしゃい」「おかえりなさい」と。感じ良い。 『ガイドさん』ゆっくりとした語り口。沖縄の歴史や文化の事、解り易い説明。感じ良い。 ツアー内容は物足りなかったですが、沖縄が初めての方ならまずまずかも。次回行く時の参考にはなると思います。

We were blessed with good weather, and the guide's stories were very enjoyable and informative, so in the end, I felt it was worth participating.

It was rainy.

The aquarium felt a bit smaller than I expected, but the presence of the whale shark was impressive. The Habutai vs. Mongoose at Ryukyu Village was, from an animal welfare perspective, unavoidable. I guess I was foolish to have high expectations. Unfortunately, it rained on the day of my visit due to the start of the rainy season, but I still had a pretty good time.水族館は、期待したよりちょっと小さい感じがしましたが、ジンベイザメの迫力は、圧巻でした。琉球村のハブ対マングースは、やっぱり動物愛護の観点から、しかたないですね(^_^;)期待した方が馬鹿でした。当日は、梅雨入りということもあり、雨にたたられたのが、残念でしたが、結構、楽しめました。

A story about my beloved Okinawa.

I had a tour guide who was a veteran woman passionate about Okinawa. She was great at storytelling and ended with a farewell song. I highly recommend this for those who enjoy listening to stories, as you can learn a lot about various aspects of Okinawa. However, if you prefer to quietly gaze at the scenery from the car window, you might find it a bit overwhelming, so I wouldn't recommend it for you!沖縄を愛するベテランの女性にツアーガイドをしていただきました。お話が上手で最後には別れの歌で締めくくりです。お話を聞くのが好きな方にはかなりおすすめで沖縄のいろんなことが聞けますが、静かにボーっと車窓の景色を見たい方にはウザく感じると思うのでおすすめはしません！

I don't want to go to the souvenir shop.

The driver and guide were excellent, and the bus was fine (+5 points), but being taken to a souvenir shop along the way was frustrating (-2 points). Because of this, please be aware that the time spent at the aquarium will be shorter, and during peak season, there is a high chance that you won't have enough time for lunch. While waiting at the entrance of the restaurants and cafes inside the aquarium, time passes quickly.運転手さん、ガイドさん、バスなど申し分ないのに（+5ｐ）、途中で、お土産店に連れてゆかれるのは閉口します（-2ｐ）。そのために、水族館の滞在時間が短くなり、繁盛期なら高い確率で、昼食は満足に取れなくなることを参加される方はご承知ください。中ら海水族館内の、レストランやカフェの入り口で、並んでいるうちにあっという間に、時間がすぎてしまいます。

Dear Yanbaru Kuina Isar,
Thank you for participating in our bus tour. Regarding the time spent at the Churaumi Aquarium, we have allocated the schedule this way to allow you to enjoy various facilities. We also wish for you to have more time at each facility, and we will consider this as a future challenge.
Thank you for your valuable feedback. We aim to improve and make our bus tours even better.
The guide's singing voice was beautiful. I think if we could extend our stay at the main event, the aquarium, by about 30 more minutes, we would be able to enjoy the sightseeing more comfortably.ガイドさんの歌声は綺麗でした。メインイベントの水族館での滞在時間を もう30分程度でも伸ばしてもらえると落ち着いて観光できると思います。

Basically, I spent most of my time in the car, but I had a chance to get out three times to enjoy the scenery. The line at the cafeteria by the sea was too long, so there wasn't enough time to play.基本的に車の中に、大部分の時間を過ごしたのですが、三つほど降りて風景を楽しむ機会があり、海へい公園の食堂の行列は長すぎて、遊ぶ時間は足りなかったです。

Dear Allan,
Thank you very much for participating in our bus tour. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the crowded dining area, which resulted in a shorter time for your meal.
There are several dining options at the Ocean Expo Park, but being a representative tourist destination in Okinawa, it can get crowded during peak seasons. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to review the tour and enhance the overall satisfaction of our guests. Thank you for your valuable input.

It was cloudy on the day, with rain repeating. The aquarium was nice, but getting caught in the rain afterward was tough. Still, strangely, the color of the sea was a beautiful emerald green that saved the day. However, I had to give up on the salespeople at the Okashi Goten; they were too loud! I would appreciate it if they could refrain from selling before the tastings. As the title suggests, the guide's performance of Okinawan songs while playing the sanshin was wonderful!

I would appreciate it if they could refrain from selling before the tastings. As the title suggests, the guide's performance of Okinawan songs while playing the sanshin was wonderful! The guide also added humor and explained the points clearly, allowing us to learn about Okinawa. The sign language included in "Nada Sousou" was great. The trip, which had been gloomy, was saved by the guide. Next time, I will join again on a sunny day. 当日は曇り、雨のくり返し。水族館はいいのですが雨に降られると後は辛い。 それでも不思議な事に海の色が緑（エメラルドグリーン）美しさに救われました。 ただ御菓子御殿の売り込みの店員にはギブアップうるさすぎる！試食をする前に売り込みは勘弁です。タイトルにあるとおりガイドさんの三線をひきながらの沖縄の歌は素晴らしかったです！それにガイドに笑いありでポイントをしっかり説明して頂き沖縄を知ることが出来ました。手話を交えた『なだそうそう』良かったです。ゆううつだった旅もガイドさんに救われました。今度は天気のいい… 当日は曇り、雨のくり返し。水族館はいいのですが雨に降られると後は辛い。 それでも不思議な事に海の色が緑（エメラルドグリーン）美しさに救われました。 ただ御菓子御殿の売り込みの店員にはギブアップうるさすぎる！試食をする前に売り込みは勘弁です。タイトルにあるとおりガイドさんの三線をひきながらの沖縄の歌は素晴らしかったです！それにガイドに笑いありでポイントをしっかり説明して頂き沖縄を知ることが出来ました。手話を交えた『なだそうそう』良かったです。ゆううつだった旅もガイドさんに救われました。今度は天気のいい日にまた参加しますね。
