All Reviews for Bus Tours

This was my first time using a bus tour. I didn't have time to do much research and was thinking about how to explore Okinawa when I found this tour. It was a tour focused on the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, and the price was reasonable, so I decided on it right away. As a result, I had the best time. The bus was clean, and I was able to enjoy sightseeing in Okinawa very comfortably. I didn't expect the bus to be this enjoyable. I would like to use a different tour next time as well.

今回初めてバスツアーを使ってみました。というのも下調べの時間がなく、どうやって沖縄観光をしようか考えていた時このツアーを見つけました。美ら海水族館をメインにしたツアーで価格もお手頃で即決しました。結果最高の時間を過ごせました。バスも清潔感があり、とても楽に沖縄を観光することが出来ました。バスがこんなに楽とは思いませんでした。次回もまた違うツアーを利用したいと思ってます。

The guide was extremely kind. The mountains of Hell Valley in Noboribetsu, the bears at the bear ranch, the soup curry at Lake Toya, and the ice sculptures at Lake Shikotsu were all great.

ガイドは超親切です。登別の地獄谷の山、熊牧場の熊、洞爺湖のスープカレー、支笏湖の氷像は全部よくなりました。

During the boat and bus rides, as well as in the water buffalo cart crossing to Yufushima, I enjoyed the staff's flexible explanations without getting bored. The amazing scenery that you can't see on the mainland was the best. Even though I was traveling alone, I had a great time without feeling bored at all.

移動中のボートやバスの中、由布島に渡る水牛車の中と退屈する事なくスタッフの臨機応変な説明が良く楽しめました。本土では見ることのない素晴らしい景色が見れて最高でした。一人旅でしたが全然退屈する事なく楽しかったです。

I boarded from the Kencho-mae Square.
It was a beautiful day, and Kouri Island had the best location.
The bus guide and driver were considerate of my mother, who has difficulty walking, and that was a great help.
Thank you very much.
The traffic jam on the way back was a bit frustrating, but that's a government issue.
I had a wonderful day.
Thank you.

県庁前広場から乗り込みました。
天気の良い一日で
古宇利島も最高のロケーション、
足の悪い母のことを
バスガイドさん、ドライバーさんが
気遣って下さり助かりました。
ありがとうございます。
帰りの渋滞は少しゲンナリしましたが、
これは行政の問題。
楽しい1日を過ごせました。
ありがとうございます。

This was my first time participating. It started with the polite service from Ishigaki Island Dream Tourism, and after arriving at Iriomote Island, we smoothly enjoyed a mangrove cruise with breathtaking scenery that was truly moving. The person explaining things on the boat was also fun and enjoyable. Next, we rode a water buffalo cart to Yubu Island, and the stories from the water buffalo cart driver, along with the shamisen and songs, were all fantastic! I was amazed at how smart and cute the water buffalo were! On Yubu Island, there were water buffalo that you could touch, and I was allowed to pet their horns and bodies. The weather was great, so the scenery was wonderful, and I was healed by the plants and butterflies, allowing me to spend a lovely time. I wish I had a bit more time on Yubu Island. The entire tour was really enjoyable, and the conversations were fun and friendly. I'm so glad I participated in this tour! I made great memories! If I have the chance again, I would definitely like to use this service.

初めて参加させて頂きました。まずは石垣島ドリーム観光の方の丁寧な接客からはじまり西表島に到着後もスムーズにマングローブ遊覧、素晴らしい景色が広がり感動。遊覧船で説明してくれる方も楽しくてよかったです。続いて水牛車に乗って由布島へ水牛車の方のお話、三味線、歌、全て最高でした！水牛がすごく賢くてかわいいのに驚きでした！由布島では触れる水牛がいてツノや体を触らせてもらえたり、お天気がよかったので景色も最高で植物、蝶にも癒され素敵な時間を過ごせました。もう少し由布島で時間があったらよかったなー。ツアー全体は本当に楽しくて、お話も楽しく親しみやすくこのツアーに参加して本当によかった！いい思い出がでしました！また機会があったら是非、利用したいです。

I participated with my 5-year-old and 8-year-old children, along with one adult. I was worried that it might be boring since it was a long course, but we stopped at various places, which made the travel time to the next location feel relatively short, so we had no particular issues. It was great to efficiently visit the main spots in the northern area. The souvenir shop had quite a long line, so I think those who plan to buy a lot of souvenirs during this tour might feel like their time is short at certain points. We made wonderful memories. Thank you very much.

5歳、8歳の子どもと大人1人で参加しました。
長いコースだったので飽きてしまうかな？と心配していましたが、いろんな場所に寄ってくれるので次の場所までの移動時間が比較的短く感じられるのか特に問題なく過ごせました。
北部の主要スポットを効率的に回れて良かったです。
お土産屋のレジが結構並ぶので、要所要所でこのツアーでお土産をたくさん買おうとしてる方は滞在時間が短く感じられるのではないかな、と思います。
良い思い出ができました。ありがとうございました。

There were 40 passengers on the bus, and only one was Japanese; the rest were Chinese. Several attractions were quite nice, but the bear farm at Showa Shinzan was very small, and the admission fee of 900 yen is not worth it. I do not recommend going there.

一车40位乘客，只有一位日本客人
其他都是中国人….
几个景点都很不错，出来昭和新山的熊牧场
非常小，门票900不值得，不推荐去

Everyone who participated was punctual, the guide was calm and enjoyable, the lunch was delicious, and we were able to purchase various souvenirs. All of these factors combined made the visit to Shirakawa-go and Gokayama even more enjoyable. Although there were no snow-covered roofs like in previous years, the charming scenery and the quiet falling snow made for a delightful day of sightseeing. Thank you very much.

参加された方がみなさん時刻に正確な方々だったこと、添乗してくださったガイドさんが穏やかで楽しい方だったこと、お昼ご飯が美味しかったこと、色々なお土産を購入できたこと、それらが全て組み合わさった上で、白川郷と五箇山の観光がさらに楽しいものとなりました。
例年のような雪のかぶった屋根ではありませんでしたが、趣のある景色、しずかな中降る雪に、楽しい観光の一日となりました。どうもありがとうございました。

This is a great tour that allows you to meaningfully explore Iriomote Island and Yufu Island in half a day. On Iriomote Island, you can see the mangrove forests up close on a sightseeing boat. And above all, riding the water buffalo cart on Yufu Island makes you feel like time stands still. It's packed with amazing experiences in a short time!

半日で西表島、由布島を有意義に廻れる良いツアーです。
西表島では、遊覧船でマングローブ林を身近で見ることが出来ます。そして何より、水牛車に乗っての由布島は時の流れを止めてくれます。
短時間に大感動が詰まっています！！

The tour consisted mainly of people from China besides us. The bus guide primarily spoke in Chinese, but communicated the meeting times and locations in Japanese. When the bus guide was speaking, I used a translation app to translate the Chinese and follow along. I was a bit anxious because of reviews mentioning a lot of foreign participants, but the bus guide was very nice and helpful.
The restrooms at Daikanbo and Kurokawa Onsen parking areas are not very clean, so I recommend using the restrooms at Kumamoto Castle or inside the ryokan.

ツアーは私たち以外は中国の方でした。バスガイドさんも基本的に中国語で話していましたが、集合時間や場所については日本語で話してくれました。バスガイドさんが話されているときは、翻訳アプリで中国語を翻訳して話を聞きました。外国の方が多いというクチコミがあり、不安でしたが、バスガイドさんがとてもいい人で助かりました。
大観峰や黒川温泉の駐車場のトイレは綺麗ではないので、熊本城や温泉旅館内のトイレの利用をおすすめします。

The Valley of Gangala was a wonderful space starting from the first cave hall. The guide's explanations were excellent, allowing us to reflect on the history of ancient people. We also got to experience a sense of adventure. I hadn't researched much beforehand, but it turned out to be a truly lovely memory. The timing and walking distance were just right.

ガンガラーの谷は、最初の洞窟ホールみたいな場所からとても素敵な空間でした。案内人の説明も素晴らしく、古代の人々の歴史に思いを馳せることができました。探検気分も味わうことができました。あまり調べていなかったのですがたいへん素敵な思い出になりました。時間や歩行距離もちょうど良かったです。

The bus guide shared various stories about life in Okinawa, which was very enjoyable. For example, the reason why water tanks are placed on the roofs of houses in Okinawa, and the surprising fact that mangroves can be seen close to urban areas. I think this kind of information is hard to come by on a free trip. At both Sefa Utaki and the Gangala Valley, you walk a considerable distance, and since the ground can be uneven, wearing sneakers would be a good idea. The talk at Gangala Valley, which included the guide's jokes, was also entertaining.

バスガイドさんが沖縄の生活などの色んな話をしてくれて、とても良かった。例えば沖縄の家の屋根に給水タンクが乗っている理由とか、意外に市街地に近い所にもマングローブが見られることなど。フリーの旅だとなかなか得られない情報だと思う。斎場御獄+ガンガラーの谷、共にそれなりの距離を歩き、足元が良くないこともあるのでスニーカーなどが良いだろう。ガンガラーの谷はガイドさんのジョークを交えたトークも面白かった。

It was great to be able to enjoy the beautiful nature of Hokkaido on a day trip from Sapporo. It was reassuring and comfortable to leave the long-distance driving to the driver and relax in the car. The lunch had a rich menu, was hearty, and delicious. There were also foreign participants, but the guide used a translation device for explanations, so everyone gathered on time and there were no particular issues.

札幌から日帰りで北海道の大自然を観光できてとても良かったです。
長距離の移動をドライバーさんに任せて車内でのんびりして過ごせるので安心で快適です。
昼食はメニューが豊富でボリュームもあって美味しかったです。
外国人の方も参加していましたが、ガイドさんが翻訳機を使って説明していたので時間通りに集合していたし、特に問題ありませんでした。

It was my first time in Shirakawa-go, so participating in a guided tour made me feel very secure. The time spent until our arrival was also informative thanks to the guide, and I had a great time.

However, both Shirakawa-go and Gokayama had longer stay times, which left us with some extra time on our hands. I felt that arriving at Kanazawa Station around 3:30 PM would have been better. This is just our personal impression, and I apologize for that. Other than that, it was an excellent tour that I would recommend to everyone. If I have the chance, I would love to use this service again. Thank you!

初めての白川郷だったので、ガイドさん付きツアーはとても安心して参加できました。到着までの時間もガイドさんの案内で色々勉強になり、楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
ただ、白川郷、五箇山ともに、滞在時間が長めにとってあり、私たちには時間を持て余してしまいました。15時30分ころに金沢駅に到着だったらなぁと感じたしだいです。あくまでも私たちの感想です。すみません。そのほかは申し分なく、皆んなにおすすめできるツアーでした。機会があればまた利用させていただきます。ありがとうございました！

The new guide did a great job. I was impressed by their dedication, especially as they continued to provide guidance despite the heavy rain in the afternoon.

新人ガイドさんでしたが頑張りがとても良かったです。午後からの大雨にも負けずしっかり案内をしていた姿に
感動です。

I participated with a friend. The weather was nice, and the experience of riding the water buffalo cart while enjoying the beautiful scenery was amazing! It felt like time was flowing slowly, and I felt very fulfilled. The water buffalo named Neelan was very cute. Seeing the buffalo working in shifts made me feel motivated to do my best at work as well. I would love to use this service again when I visit Taketomi Island!

友人と2人で参加しました。
気候も良く、綺麗な景色を見ながらの水牛車体験は最高でした！
時間もゆっくり流れているような気がして、とても充実していました。
水牛のニーランくんがとても可愛かったです。
牛さんもシフト制で頑張っているので、仕事頑張ろうって思えました。笑
また竹富島に行く際は利用したいなと思いました‍♀️

Since I participated from Naha, it was a full-day tour! The guide shared various information while we were on the bus, so I didn't get bored! I wish we had about 10 more minutes at Manzamo and Pineapple Park, but other than that, it was a lot of fun with no complaints! We visited five places, and given the price, it was a great value!

那覇から参加したので丸一日のツアーでした！
バスに乗ってる間もガイドさんが色んなことを教えてくれるので退屈せずに済みました！
万座毛とパイナップルパークはもう10分くらい欲しかったですがそれ以外は文句なしで楽しかったです！
5箇所も回れてこの値段だったのでコスパ良かったです！

The guide explained the history and culture of Hokkaido, seasonal harvests, and the mountains visible from the highway, making the journey enjoyable despite the unique challenges of the region. We visited Asahiyama Zoo, and it was surprisingly warm for mid-February, so the animals were quite active. We learned about the importance of life for both humans and animals through the exhibits and the zookeepers' efforts to maintain the animals' well-being. We had a great day. Thank you very much.

ガイドさんが北海道の歴史、文化、季節の収穫物、高速から伺える山々等、道内ならではの苦労も説明して頂き道中楽しく過ごせました。私共は、旭山動物園でのコースでした。2月中旬にしては、暖かさだったので動物が以外と動いて、動物達の展示や、飼育員さんが動物の生命維持に人間も動物も命の大切さを学べるました。良い一日を過ごせました。有難う御座いました。

You can efficiently enjoy sightseeing in Ishigaki Island from the morning. I was able to listen to the sounds of the three lines and savor a hamburger made with Ishigaki beef. Kabira Bay is also beautiful and highly recommended. There’s a shop for black pearls, so it’s definitely a place you want to visit.

朝から効率よく石垣島観光ができます。
3線の音色を聴かせてくれたり石垣牛のハンバーグを食べて満喫できました。
川平湾も綺麗でオススメです。
黒真珠のお店もあるので是非立ち寄りたい場所です。

It was a satisfying plan that allowed us to efficiently visit three islands in one day, including lunch. We rented bicycles on Taketomi Island, which provided exercise and made for a fulfilling day.

一日で効率よく3島めぐれて
ランチ付で　十分満足なプランでした。
竹富島でレンタサイクルを借りて
運動にもなり盛りだくさんな1日でした。

I had a hard time finding the reception, as it was on the opposite side of the station, but I finally located it with some help. It's near the Daimaru side corridor, at the opposite entrance of the JR Tower Hotel. At the reception, I exchanged my voucher for a ticket. After checking in, I waited near the entrance of the building on the right side as you exit the station. When the time came, a staff member came to pick us up. There was a heavy snow warning, which made me worried, but by the time the tour started, the snow had stopped and the sun was out. There were 15 participants. First, we headed to the ski jump, but unfortunately, we couldn't use the lift for practice as they were preparing for the competition the next day, and we missed seeing it by the time we gathered. Next, we went to the Shiroi Koibito Park, and I was surprised by the building, which was beyond my expectations. We only had 30 minutes there, and it felt rushed; I wished we had another 30 minutes. After that, we went to the outer market, where I enjoyed a seafood bowl and had plenty of time to choose souvenirs. I've visited Sapporo many times, but this was my first time participating in a city bus tour, and I'm glad I did as it allowed us to efficiently see the highlights.

受付がわかりずらく駅の反対側で教えてもらいやっと見つけました。大丸側の通路、JRタワーホテル反対口です。受付でバウチャーを出して切符に換えてもらいます。受付をして駅を出て右側すぐの建物入口付近で待機。時間になると係員が迎えに来てくれます。大雪警報が出て心配しましが、ツアーが始まる頃にはやんで晴れました。参加者は15名。まずはジャンプ台へ翌日大会で準備中のためリフト使えず練習も残念ながら集合時間になってしまい見られませんでした。次に白い恋人パークへ、想像以上の建物に驚き、滞在時間が30分で、大忙しで回りました。あと、30分欲しかったです。その後、場外市場へ、海鮮丼を食べお土産もゆっくり選べて時間は充分でした。何度も札幌は訪れていますが、バスの市内観光は初めてでしたが見どころを効率よく回れるので参加して良かったです。

The Shikotsu Lake Ice Festival was canceled due to the warm winter causing the ice to melt, but it was a very fulfilling and enjoyable tour. Two-thirds of the tour participants were inbound travelers, but the guide provided explanations in two languages, so there were no issues. Unexpectedly, on the way back, we were able to see many cute deer.

支笏湖氷濤まつりは暖冬の影響で氷が溶けて中止となってしまいましたが、とても充実した楽しいツアーでした。
当日のツアー客の３分の２はインバウンドの方でしたが、ガイドさんは二カ国語を使分けて説明してくれるので問題ありません。
思いがけず帰り道にはたくさんのカワイイ鹿を見ることができました。

I was able to see various places in one day. There were many foreign visitors, and the guide spoke in both Japanese and Chinese, which made me feel like I was in a foreign country.
I think it's difficult for individuals to do sightseeing in one day, especially during the winter, so I had a great time being able to see so much.
Personally, I was disappointed that the main event, the Shikotsu Lake Ice Festival, was canceled, but I hope to make a comeback next year. I think I will choose Bell Tours for that time.

1日で色々な所を見ることが出来た。外国の方が多く、ガイドさんも日本語と中国語でお話しされていて、ちょっと外国に来た気分でした。
個人では特に冬期は1日で観光するのは難しいと思うので、色々見学出来て楽しかったです。
個人的にメインの支笏湖氷濤祭りが中止になってしまい、残念でしたが、また、来年リベンジしたいな。と、思っています。その時にはベルツアーさんを選ぶと思います。

Basically, as everyone has mentioned in their reviews, there were many Chinese participants, and the guide was in Chinese. However, they personally addressed us in Japanese with great care!

Since I can't drive, I was satisfied with being efficiently guided to various places that I couldn't reach on my own, allowing me to take photos. There was a moment when I thought, "If only we had more time!" while waiting to ride the ropeway at Showa Shinzan, but since we were on a tour, it couldn't be helped!

I had a wonderful experience in the magnificent Hokkaido, received great recommendations, and I am very satisfied! Thank you!

基本的にみなさん口コミに書かれている通り、参加者は中国人が多く、中国語でのガイドになりました。私達へは個人的に日本語で丁寧にお声がけいただきました！

車が運転できないので、自力で行けないところへ効率よく様々な箇所に案内してもらえるので写真を撮ったりするには満足しています。
昭和新山でロープウェイに乗るにはあと5分…滞在時間が長かったら！と思うような時間配分もあったのですが、ツアーで動いてましたので、仕方ないですね！

とても壮大な北海道を体験できておすすめも教えてもらい、大変満足しています！ありがとうございました！

The bus guide helped us understand the local area of the island well. The island tour was also enjoyable. For lunch, we had a hamburger lunch.

バスガイドさんが島の方で地元がよく理解出来ました。
島観光も楽しかった。
昼食はハンバーグランチでした。

For 3,300 yen, I visited two places in half a day, and on top of that, they took me to the airport. With a bus guide, I was able to enjoy sightseeing while gaining a good understanding of Okinawa. Thank you very much. I'm grateful.

半日で2か所をめぐって3300円、おまけに空港に送り届けてくれるのです。バスのガイド付きなので沖縄をよく理解しながら観光することができました。有り難うございました。感謝

It was the perfect trip for someone like me who doesn't have a driver's license.
It can be quite challenging to visit so many different attractions, so I truly appreciated being taken around slowly by bus.
I was able to enjoy the scenery from the bus, and the explanations from the bus guide were very easy to understand and informative.
I would love to use this service again.

車の免許が無い私には最高な旅でした。
これだけの色んな名所を巡るのは大変なので
バスでゆっくり連れて行っていただけるのは
本当に有り難いです。
バスからも景色をゆっくり眺められるし、バスガイドさんの説明もとても聞きやすく、勉強になりました。
また利用したいと思いました。

I was a bit anxious because there were many foreigners and it seemed like we might have to share tables, but the seat next to me was empty, so I had plenty of space. The guide provided explanations in Chinese, Japanese, and English, and then gave detailed explanations to each table, which was very considerate. Perhaps there were fewer Japanese participants? I appreciated how they took the time to teach us various things. It was also nice that the driver was a woman and drove safely.

外国の方も多いのと相席になる事がある様で、少し不安でしたが、隣の席は取られてなく広く使えました。
ガイドさんの説明も中国語、日本語、英語での説明と、その後に各席に説明して丁寧でした。
日本人の参加が少なかったのか？気を遣って色々教えていただき感謝。
運転手も女性で安全運転で良かったです。

Thank you for your assistance.
In the morning, we departed from the remote island terminal, enjoyed a mangrove tour, and traveled by bus, making for a timely and fulfilling trip.
When crossing to Yufu Island by water buffalo, there was an announcement and they sang island songs, but I’m sorry, I thought they could use more practice.
The lady on the mangrove cruise was skilled.
Thank you very much.

お世話になりました。
朝、離島ターミナルからの出発、マングローブ観光、バス移動と、タイムリーな充実した旅になりました。
水牛で由布島に渡る時、アナウンスや、島唄を歌ってくれるのですが、すみません。もっと練習した方が良いと思いました。
マングローブクルーズのお姉さんは、上手でした。
ありがとうございました。

I visited the two gassho-zukuri villages of Shirakawa-go and Gokayama.
Shirakawa-go had many tourists, with plenty of souvenir shops and restaurants, making it enjoyable as a tourist spot.
Gokayama, on the other hand, didn't have much of a touristy feel, allowing me to see a more natural village landscape.
Both had their own unique charm, and I was glad to have visited both.

白川郷と五箇山の二つの合掌造り集落を巡りました。
白川郷は観光客が多く、お土産屋さんや食べ物屋さんもたくさんあり、観光スポットとして楽しむことができました。
五箇山は、観光スポットらしさはあまりなく自然な集落の姿を見ることができました。
二つともそれぞれに良さがあり、どちらも見学出来て良かったです。
