This plan includes a water buffalo cart tour on Taketomi Island, a self-guided exploration with rental bicycles, and a ferry ticket between Ishigaki and Taketomi Island. You will leisurely explore the village with its vivid red-tiled roofs contrasting against the blue sky while riding the water buffalo cart. Enjoy the guide’s narration with the gentle sound of the sanshin (traditional Okinawan instrument) in the background. With multiple start times available, it’s easy to combine this with other activities! The convenient rental bicycles allow you to visit places like the shallow Kondoi Beach, Kaiji Beach, known for its "star sand," cafes with sea views, and charming souvenir shops. Make the most of your time on this island, which still retains the original Okinawan scenery! Adults (Over 13 years old) Children (7-12 years old) Preschoolers (3-6 years old): ¥2,400 (Water buffalo cart tour + Bicycle supplemental seat fee) Infants (0-2 years old): ¥500 (Bicycle supplemental seat fee) ※Preschoolers and infants fares do not include the ferry fare (free on the lap). If a seat is required, please book at the child fare rate. 【Drunk driving is prohibited by law】 All vehicles, including bicycles, may not be operated after consuming alcohol. Drunk driving is a violation of the Road Traffic Law and is strictly punished. For your safety, those who have consumed or plan to consume alcohol may not use rental bicycles. 【Regarding Group Reservations】 For Water Buffalo Cart Tours, reservations are limited to a maximum of 9 guests per group. We are unable to accept reservations for groups of 10 or more guests. If a group of 10 or more guests makes multiple reservations by splitting into smaller groups, each reservation will be treated as a separate group booking. Please also note that, even if multiple groups make reservations together, we cannot guarantee that all members will be assigned to the same water buffalo cart. Thank you for your understanding.

    Efficient staff communication

    Despite there was a typhoon near Ishigaki, company was efficiently update customers about the ferry schedule and allowing us to decide if we wish to continue the journey. Package was definitely worth it with flexible return ferry schedule. Whole island was so beautiful that I wish I can spend more time to explore. Definitely come back again!

    初めての竹富島

    今回初めて竹富島にお邪魔させていただきました。天気も良く、絶好の水牛とサイクリング日和でとても満足です。 水牛もゆったりと島内を観光でき、レンタサイクルでは観光スポットを全てまわれました。 また来たいと思うほど大満足でした!

    三線が・・・

    お世話になりました。 天気も良くとても楽しく過ごせました。 残念だったのは三線をひきながらの🎵しまんちゅうの宝🎵 頑張ってるのは届きましたが、パンフレット等にも唄をうたいながら・・・とありました。 歌が残念すぎました。料金を支払ってますので、もう少し練習してほしかったです。すごく残念でなりませんでした。別の牛さんを引いていたおじさんも女性の方もすごく上手で、そちらに乗りたかったです。 そこだけが残念でした。
