Driver Saito, a wonderful friendly young person. Good communication, warm personality, we enjoyed the tour of Ishigaki Jima.
This was a lovely day and tour of the island. The tour was customized to us which was great
Saito our guide took us to some beautiful locations including one where I could propose. He captured the moment so we had memories to share. He was also flexible in that he monitored the weather so we went around the island to capture the best places at the appropriate time
Nice outing. Saito is a very attentive and nice person. Kabira Bay we loved, spectacular.
A great tour, perfect trip to get to see what you choose with advice from Saito San, he made it easy ( excellent English). Kabila Bay is absolutely beautiful, very scenic and a must see - we did the glass boat ride and view from observation deck stunning. Had a look at black pearl shop and resisted a purchase. A visit to an observation point with stunning views of harbour and mountains. Ishigahi was a delightful surprise, a semi tropical island, the colours various shades of blue and green beautiful, amazing.
Great tour and an excellent guide! Very informative, friendly, and well organized. I learned a lot and truly enjoyed the experience. Highly recommended.
We had a wonderful experience with our driver-cum-guide Saito san. He was punctual, friendly, and very professional throughout the journey. His driving was safe and smooth, which made us feel comfortable at all times. What stood out most was his local knowledge and ability to communicate well in English to us. — he shared interesting insights about the places we visited, recommended good spots for photos and food, and was always patient in answering our questions. The itinerary was well managed, yet flexible to our needs.
The tour shows the most beautiful places of the beautiful island of Ishigaki, and Saito-San has everything organized very well. The tour is very comfortable in a nice, new car. I saw panoramic landscapes like on postcards, had a glass-bottomed boat trip, was in Shisa Park, where overgrown Shisa statues drive away the evil spirits, had a great lunch and ended the tour with a stroll in the capital. Thanks for the beautiful day, which was a day trip from Naha for me.
We had a wonderful tour with Saito-San. I was able to choose 3 places to see which included Kabira Bay, Ishigaki Yaima Village and Ishigaki Stalactite Caves. Each place was so beautiful and Saito San was so informative and kept everything at a nice relaxing place. Saito San also speaks perfect english! This was a perfect tour to see Ishigaki. I am so glad I booked this tour and highly recommend touring with Saito San! Doomo arigato!
