All Reviews for Bus Tours

I had a great time interacting in English with foreign friends who love Japan. It was wonderful to engage in cultural exchange with people from Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, and Australia. I was glad to explain the matcha experience. Although Mount Fuji was obscured by clouds, I was happy to take photos by Lake Yamanaka. Overall, I was about 70% satisfied. The meeting point in the morning was confusing due to various tour buses arriving one after another, so I think it would have been better to have clearer and more noticeable signs.

親日の外国の方々と英語で交流でき、楽しかった。
台湾、マレーシア、シンガポール、オーストラリアの方々と異文化交流ができ良かった。
お抹茶体験を説明できてよかった。富士山は雲がかかって見えなかったが、山中湖畔で、写真が撮れたのでよかった。
全体的には、70パーセントの満足。
朝の集合場所が、色々なツアーバスが次々と来て、迷ったので、もう少し分かりやすい目につきやすい看板などあると良かったと思う。

The view of Mount Eniwa, Mount Fubetsu, and Mount Tarumae from Lake Shikotsu was very beautiful. Unfortunately, this time I couldn't see Mount Yotei from Lake Toya, but the view from Mount Usu, which I accessed via the ropeway, was breathtaking. I had been to all these places in the summer, but the snowy scenery was also fantastic.

支笏湖から見える恵庭岳、風不死岳、樽前山はとても美しい景色でした。今回は残念ながら洞爺湖から羊蹄山を観ることはで出来ませんでしたがロープウェイで登った有珠山から景色は圧巻です。
全て夏に行った事のある所でしたが雪景色も最高でした。

I chose this course because even though it's a bit more expensive, it allows for an efficient visit to two locations. With the cheaper course, the bus had unreserved seating, which meant I would have to line up each time, leading to a loss of time. When I actually went, there was a heavy snow warning, and the regular bus service was uncertain. Since it was a sightseeing bus, I didn't have to worry about the return bus not showing up, allowing me to use my time effectively. There were also some guides for minor sightseeing spots, which was nice.

多少高くても2ヶ所を効率よく回れるのでこちらのコースにしました。
もう一つの安いコースだとバスが自由席だったりして、いちいち並ばねばならず、時間のロスだと感じまして。
実際に行った時は大雪警報が出ていて、定期バスの運行も不確かでした。
観光バスなので、帰りのバスが来ないとかの心配もなく、時間を有意義に使えました。
ちょっとした観光スポットの案内などもあり、良かったです。

I went to the Churaumi Aquarium on a tour from American Village. It was feeding time for the whale sharks, and I was able to see them swimming vertically. I've seen whale sharks many times, but seeing them in that vertical position was truly impressive due to their size! No matter how many times I go, I am always amazed by that large tank and the whale sharks!

Since Churaumi is far away, taking a bus tour is convenient, and you can chat while traveling. Plus, the ticket price is included, making it a great deal, so I've used this tour several times. Since I often stay in American Village, I hope more tours departing from American Village will be available.

アメリカンビレッジ発のツアーで、美ら海水族館に行きました。
丁度、ジンベイサメの餌の時間で、縦になっいるジンベイサメを見られました。
ジンベイサメは何度も見ていますが、縦になっている姿はさすがに、大きいなー！と感動しました。
何回行っても、あの大きな水槽とジンベイサメには感動します！

美ら海までは遠いので、バスツアーだと楽ですしおしゃべりしながら行けるし、チケット代も込みなのでお得なので、何回かこのツアーを使っています。
アメリカンビレッジに滞在する事が多いので、アメリカンビレッジ発の他のツアーも増えるといいなと思います。

I was able to participate again this year, just like last year. Last year's water buffalo carts had Musashi and Kojiro, but this year it was Sota and Mirai, and since I follow them on Instagram, it was fun to see their individual personalities. The round-trip bus had a driver who provided commentary; last year it was entertaining, but this year it felt more negative, and I wanted to hear more about Iriomote Island. The bento from Yufu Island was delicious, and overall, I was very satisfied.

昨年に続き今年も参加できました。
昨年の水牛車は武蔵くんと小次郎くんでしたが、今年は颯太くんと未来くんでインスタもフォローしているので、それぞれ個性があって楽しかったです。
往復のバス、運転手さんが案内をしてくれるのですが昨年は面白かったけど今年はネガティブな感じでもっと西表島のことを聞きたかったです。
由布島のお弁当も美味しいし全体的にとても満足です。

I participated in a tour last July and was deeply impressed. I heard that Shirakawa-go is even more charming in winter, so I decided to join this time. I was moved by the contrast of the white snow and the black gassho-zukuri architecture from the observation deck. The surrounding mountains and village were covered in snow, creating an incredibly fantastical and beautiful landscape. Next time, I would like to visit Shirakawa-go again during the recommended light-up and autumn foliage season.

昨年7月にツアーに参加しまして感激。冬の白川郷は更に魅力的とお話しを聞きまして、今回参加致しました。
展望台からの雪の白と合掌造りの黒のコンストストに感動しました。周囲の山々と集落に雪が積もり、最高に幻想的な美しい風景でした。
今度は、ガイドさんにお勧めされたライトアップ、紅葉の季節にまた白川郷に行ってみたいです。

I was really helped by being able to explore the city of Kyoto on my own from Osaka Station. I had a wonderful trip. The guide was also kind and taught me a lot of things, thank you. It was very helpful.

京都の街をこれだけ大阪駅から個人でまわれたので本当に助かりました とてもいい旅が出来ました。ガイドさんも親切でいろいろ教えてくださいました、ありがとうございます。助かりました。

I was surprised by how much snow there was, and it was truly moving. I took a friend from the Philippines, and they were excited as it was their first experience with snow.

思ったより雪が多く、感動しました。フィリピンからの友達を連れて行きましたが、初めての雪体験で興奮状態でした。

Since she is Filipino, we participated with 10 people including relatives and friends. Most of the tour guests were from Southeast Asia and had a warm atmosphere. The guide was young and made a great impression with their earnest efforts. The only complaint, if I had to mention one, was that the price was a bit high. I would like to use the tour again next time.

彼女がフィリピン人なので、親戚友人含め10人で参加しました。ツアー客は、ほぼ東南アジアの方でほんわかしてました。ガイドさんは若く一生懸命対応してたのが好印象です。金額が少し高かったのが強いて言えば不満点。次回もツアーを利用したいと思います。

The weather was favorable, and the meticulous planning for the bus transfer on Iriomote Island was wonderful. On Taketomi Island, I walked over 10,000 steps. You definitely need comfortable shoes.
Google Maps didn't work.

天候にも恵まれ、西表島でのバス中継が必要で、綿密な計画が素晴らしかった。竹富島は、なんと１万歩以上歩きました。必ず、運動靴が必要です。
gogle mapが機能しませんでした。汗　　

The bus was smaller than I expected, and since it was full, I felt a bit cramped. However, everyone participating was punctual, so there was no stress from waiting.

思っていたよりバスが小さく、満席だったので、少し窮屈さを感じました。参加の皆さんは、きちんと集合時間を守られる方々ばかりだったので、待つストレスはなかったです。

The guide provided explanations in both Japanese and English alternately, and was quick and friendly, which made the tour enjoyable! They also adapted the sightseeing schedule flexibly due to traffic conditions.

ガイドさんが日本語と英語で交互にこまめに説明してくれ、対応もテキパキしていて気さくだったのでパスツアーが楽しめました！交通事情により観光の時間も臨機応変に対応していました。

I participated in a bus tour. It was a fun day visiting various places! I was a bit concerned about the traffic on the way back, especially since it coincided with the holiday season and the Spring Festival. If I get the chance to come back to Okinawa, I would love to join another tour!

バスツアーに参加
一日、色々な所に行って楽しい日になりました！
連休や春節とも重なりかなあ〜と帰りの渋滞が気になりました
また、沖縄に来れたらまたツアーに参加したいです

The 90-minute tour felt too long for the scale of the event. Even after going around twice, we hadn't spent half the time, and when we returned to the bus, it was still closed, leaving us waiting outside for over 30 minutes. I wish someone had informed us that the bus was not open. The Ice Festival itself was good, but I think half the time would have been sufficient. However, it was strange that photos taken from a certain spot at the Ice Shrine turned out striped. No matter how many times I took the picture, it always came out with stripes.

規模の割に、90分の見学時間は長すぎた。
2周回っても時間は半分も経たず、バスに戻ったけど開いておらず、30分以上外でずっと待つ羽目に。
バスが開いていないことを教えて欲しかったです。
氷濤まつり自体は、良かったですが半分の時間で良いかと。
でも氷濤神社のところで、ある場所から撮る写真が縞模様になるのが不思議でした。
何度撮っても、縞模様になります。

In addition to the Snow Festival, I was hoping to take my son to Asahiyama Zoo, so I looked for a bus tour departing from Sapporo. It had been a while since I took a bus tour, but the kind and friendly bus guide and driver offered warm words, and the guide's personality was wonderful. Listening to their stories not only helped me learn about tourism in Hokkaido but was also enjoyable and informative. I highly recommend this tour and would like to use it again.

雪まつりの他、旭山動物園に息子を連れていけたらと思い、札幌発のバスツアーを探しました。
バスツアーは久しぶりでしたが、親切で優しいバスガイドさんと運転手の方にあたたかい言葉をかけていただきましたし、ガイドさんのお人柄が素晴らしく、お話を聞いていても北海道の観光勉強になるだけではなく、楽しく、ためになること、たくさん教えていただきました。
とてもおすすめのツアーです。また利用したいと思います。

We took a hotel shuttle to Euglena Port and then a high-speed ferry to Iriomote Island in 45 minutes. The mangrove cruise was blessed with good weather, allowing us to enjoy the magnificent natural scenery while listening to explanations about the mangroves and interesting stories as we observed them up close. We even had a welcoming sighting of a crested serpent eagle! After traveling by bus, we went to Yubu Island, where the water buffalo cart ride was a timeless experience, and the flowers on Yubu Island were very beautiful. We then took a bus to Taketomi Island, where we rented bicycles to explore the town and see the traditional Ryukyu architectural style. At the Nishi Sanchō, during low tide, we were able to see many tropical fish, giant clams, and sea cucumbers. It was a fulfilling and great value tour.

ホテル送迎でユーグレナ港へ、高速双頭船で45分で西表島へ。マングローブクルーズは、天気にも恵まれ、雄大な大自然の風景を鑑賞しながら、マングローブの説明を聞き、面白いお話を聞きながらマングローブをまじかに観察いたしました。なんと、カンムリワシの歓迎も！バスで移動して、由布島へ水牛車は時間を忘れるひと時、由布島は花がとても綺麗でした。バスで移動して高速船で竹富島へ、レンタサイクルで街中を徘徊し古き琉球の建築様式等を見れ、西桟橋では、干潮の時間で熱帯魚やシャコガイ、ナマコと沢山見れました。
充実のお値打ちツアーです。

It was my first time participating alone, but I was given very detailed information about the sightseeing content, meeting time, and souvenirs, so I was able to enjoy the tour without any worries. The conversations in the car were so enjoyable that time flew by. The topics I was unfamiliar with and found interesting made me want to take notes, as the speaker was very good at sharing information. When I visit Okinawa again, I look forward to trying a different course.

初めての1人参加だったけれど、観光内容、集合時間、お土産など、とても詳しく教えていただき、不安などなく、楽しく観光できました。
車内でもお話が楽しくあっという間に時間がたってしまいました。
知らない事、興味のあるお話は、思わずメモを取ってしまうほど、お話もお上手でした？
また沖縄にいく時には、違うコースも楽しみたいと思います

It's early in the morning, but the highlights of the famous island were well organized. However, the sightseeing time on Takefumi Island was short due to the ferry schedule.

朝早いですが、有名な島の見所がまとまっていました
ただ、竹冨島の観光時間がフェリーの都合で短かったです

Since it was a morning tour, I was able to enjoy Okinawa until the end. However, the Gyokusendo Cave was longer than I expected, and after watching the Haisai Show, I was worried that my elderly mother wouldn't make it back to the bus on time, so I had to hold her hand and run for the latter half of the tour. I think it would have been better if there had been a bit more detailed information about how long it would take to walk.

午前中のツアーだったので、沖縄を最後まで楽しめました。
ただ、玉泉洞が思った以上に長く、ハイサイショーを観てから見学すると年配の母の足では、バスの時間に間に合わなくなりそうで、後半ずっと手を引いて走りました。
歩いてどれくらい時間がかかるとか、少し詳しく説明があれば良かったと思います。

It's been 20 years since I visited Hokkaido in winter. Originally, I planned to participate in an event, but since I happened to get a ticket for the last flight the next day, I decided to include a bus tour as well. A tour where I don't have to drive is relaxing, and I can enjoy unlimited delicious beer! I thought it would have been even better if they had offered beer during lunch, but overall, I was satisfied.

The travel time was quicker than I expected, and I was able to stop by the Ice Festival and Bear Ranch, which weren't on the itinerary, making it a fun experience. If you're looking for a light sightseeing option, this seems more than sufficient.

冬の北海道は20年ぶり。本来はイベント参加が目的でしたがその翌日に偶々取れた航空券が最終便だったこともあり、それならバスツアーを入れ込もうと思い立ちました。自分が運転しないツアーは気が楽で美味しいビールも飲み放題！昼食時にビールの斡旋してくれたらもっと良かったなあ、などとも思いましたが概ね満足です。
移動時間が思ったよりも早く、予定にはなかった氷濤やクマ牧場にも寄ることができて楽しく過ごせました。さらりと観光するならこれで充分に思えます。

The guide's detailed explanations and the driver's safe driving made for a great time. I think it's a good experience for those visiting Shodoshima for the first time.

ガイドさんの細やかな案内と、バスの運転手さんの安全運転で、いい時間でした
初めて小豆島を訪れる人たちにはいいと思います

With a one-day pass, you can ride without worrying about time. While sightseeing, shopping, and dining, the perfect bus will come around just when you need it at each tourist spot. It was cold in the morning, but by noon, sitting in a spot without wind protection was no problem. My five-year-old was in a good mood. When it rained, they quickly distributed raincoats even for passing showers.

1日券で乗車
時間を気にしなくても観光、買い物、食事などしてるうちに、ちょうどいいバスが来るというサイクルが、降りた観光スポットごとにできた。
朝一は寒さはあったが、昼頃からは風除けのない席でも問題なかった。五歳の子供もご機嫌。
雨が降った際は、通り雨でもすぐにレインコートなら配布をしてくれた。

The hotel shuttle service was very kind and helpful. The bus tour of Taketomi Island was a bit rushed, but I think it's a great tour that covers the highlights for first-time visitors.

ホテルの送迎も含めてとても親切にしてもらえました。
竹富島のバス観光は少し慌ただしかったですが、初めて訪れる人にはいいとこ取りのいいツアーだと思います。

Cathrine Lee was a very nice and friendly guide. Overall, it was a great experience, and time was managed efficiently.

Cathrine Lee was a very nice and friendly guide. Overall great experience and time was calculated efficiently.

I think it's great that you can take a day trip from Hakata Station to Dazaifu Tenmangu, Yufuin, and Beppu Onsen! Dazaifu was also very nice, but since there was hardly any time to stay in Beppu Onsen, I wish there had been a tour that focused only on Yufuin and Beppu Onsen! The guide was from China, and they were polite and good!

博多駅から日帰りで、太宰府天満宮、由布院、別府温泉に行けるのはいいとおもいます！
大宰府もとても良かったですが、別府温泉がほぼ滞在時間がなかったので、由布院と別府温泉だけのツアーがあったら良かったなと思いました！
ガイドさんは中国の方でしたが、丁寧でよかったです！

There were only three Japanese participants, including us, on a fully booked bus. Despite that, our guide skillfully used both Japanese and Chinese to kindly and thoroughly explain the sights we saw from the bus, as well as recommend souvenirs and food, making it a very enjoyable tour.

Traveling around Noboribetsu, Lake Toya, Showa Shinzan, and Lake Shikotsu without a rental car can be quite challenging. However, this tour allowed us to reach each destination while receiving various guidance during the bus ride, and we had a reasonable amount of free time at each location, so it wasn't the typical rushed tour. It might have been a coincidence, but the fact that participants from overseas also managed to keep to the schedule without being late was likely due to the free time that was allocated. I'm grateful to everyone who participated together.

バス満席の中、日本人の参加者は私たちを含め3名だけ。そんな中ガイドさんは、日本語・中国語を上手に使って車窓から見えるものや、お勧めの土産や食べ物など親切にそして丁寧に説明してくれ、とても楽しいツアーでした。
登別、洞爺湖、昭和新山、支笏湖をレンタカーなしでめぐるのはとても大変です。でも、このツアーはバスに乗って車中いろいろなガイドをしてもらっているうちにそれぞれの目的地に着き、それぞれの場所ではそれなりに自由時間もあるので、よくありがちな急ぎ足のツアーではありませんでした。たまたまなのかもしれませんが、海外からの参加者の方も集合時間にほぼ遅れることなく行程が進めたのも自由時間が確保出来た一因なのかもしれません。一緒に参加された方々にも感謝です。

Since both Saijō-ō-taki and the Gangala Valley are difficult to access without a car, I used this tour. Walking in the rain was a bit challenging, but I'm glad I participated. However, I think it's strange that the entrance fee for Saijō-ō-taki is not included in the tour price. With only two locations to visit, is there really anyone who wouldn't want to see this place?

　齊場御嶽もガンガラーの谷も、車がないと行きづらい場所なのでこのツアーを利用しました。
　雨の中歩くのはちょっと大変でしたが、参加できてよかったと思います。
　ただ、斎場御嶽の入場料代がツアー料金に含まれていないのは、おかしいと思います。2か所しか行かないのに、ここの見学をしない人なんている？

Although there was a brief period of light snow, we were generally blessed with good weather and there was hardly any traffic. As a result, we were able to enjoy watching the adorable animals for a full three and a half hours, making it a satisfying day tour.

We successfully captured on video the highlights we were looking forward to: (1) the penguin walk, (2) the polar bear feeding time, and (3) the seal going through the pipe.

Thank you to the driver for your safe driving. And thank you to the guide for the enjoyable conversation along the way.

途中小雪が降る時間もありましたが、概ね良い天気に恵まれ、渋滞も殆どありませんでした。このため園内でたっぷり3時間半可愛い動物たちを見ることができて満足できる1日ツアーでした。
お目当てだった(1)ペンギンお散歩、(2)シロクマもぐもぐタイム、(3)アザラシのパイプくぐりをそれぞれバッチリ、ビデオに撮ることができました。
運転手さん、安全運転ありがとう。
ガイドさん、道すがらの楽しいトークありがとう。

The world surrounded by snow and ice was just like the world of Frozen! It was filled with various colors from the illuminations, and especially, the Shikotsu Lake blue was beautiful. I was prepared for the freezing cold, but it wasn't that bad, and the guide said it was perfect weather! I was really glad to spend a meaningful winter night.♪

雪と氷で囲まれた世界は、まるでアナ雪の世界でした！　イルミネーションで様々な色彩にあふれ、特に、支笏湖ブルーがきれいでした。凍てつく寒さを覚悟してましたが、それほどでもなく、ガイドさんは、パーフェクトな天気だとおっしゃってました！　冬の夜を有意義に過ごせて、とても良かったです♪

The magnificent scale of Hell Valley in Noboribetsu is impressive. I was moved by the Ice Festival at Lake Shikotsu. The sight of Showa Shinzan... Everything was a first-time experience, and I was very satisfied.

登別の地獄谷の壮快なスケール、圧巻です。
支笏湖の氷濤祭りには感動しました。
昭和新山の姿も...
全てが初めての体験で大満足しました。
