All Reviews for Bus Tours

I was surprised to see that most of the tour participants were foreigners, but I was able to efficiently visit and enjoy Takayama and Shirakawa-go. There wasn't much guidance on the highlights during the ride, so I think it would be better to research the sightseeing spots you want to visit in advance.

外国の方たちが大半のツアーでびっくりしましたが、高山、白川郷を効率よく廻れ楽しめました。車内での見どころに関するガイドはあまりありませんでしたので、事前に廻りたい観光スポットを下調べしておいた方が良いと思いました。

Preschoolers are free, and the bus guide was kind, which made it enjoyable! About one-third of the bus seats were empty, so we could relax comfortably.

保育園児は無料ですが、バスガイドさんが優しくしてくれて、楽しめました！バスの席は3分の1ぐらいは空席で、ゆったりできました。

I was able to tour and sightsee in the northern part of Okinawa in just one day! I could visit tourist spots around Nago at a reasonable price! I went to Manzamo, Kouri Island, Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, Pineapple Park, and Okashi Goten, and not only did I enjoy sightseeing, but I was also able to buy souvenirs! Although I didn't have meals included, I could eat at each tourist spot, so I was able to get around without any inconvenience! Thank you!

1日で沖縄北部を周遊・観光出来ました！リーズナブルな価格で名護周辺の観光地を周遊出来ました！万座毛, 古宇利島, 沖縄美ら海, ﾊﾟｲﾅｯﾌﾟﾙﾊﾟｰｸ, 御菓子御殿と観光だけでなく, おみやげ物も買うことが出来ました！食事は無かったですが,各観光地で食事が出来たので,不便なく回る事が出来ました！ありがとうございました！

I was able to efficiently visit the sightseeing spots in half a day! Since I had a transfer to the airport on the last day, I was able to smoothly complete my itinerary! I was satisfied as I could visit the main attractions, including Sefa Utaki and Okinawa World, at a reasonable price. I was also pleased to visit Nago, Naha, and Itoman in two days! Thank you!

半日で観光地を効率良く回れました！最終日空港へ送迎付きだったので, スムーズに日程をこなすことが出来ました！斎場御嶽とおきなわワールドとリーズナブルな価格で主要な観光出来たので満足しています。2日間で名護と那覇, 糸満と回れたので満足しています！ありがとうございます！

I visited Sapporo for the first time. Since I wasn't used to walking on snowy roads, choosing a bus tour was definitely the right decision! Although there were mostly foreigners, the guide was considerate and explained everything in Japanese first, providing detailed and enjoyable explanations, which allowed us to make the most of our sightseeing schedule! Although lunch wasn't included, I tried the guide's recommendations and was able to enjoy sightseeing within the limited time. Thanks to the timely progress made by the driver and the guide, it was a fun day. I highly recommend it!

札幌に初めて行きました。雪道慣れないのでバスツアーにして大正解でした！
外国人ばかりでしたが、ガイドさんが気をつかって日本語を先に説明してくださり、とても詳しく楽しく説明してくださったので、スケジュールを有効につかって観光できました！昼食なしでしたが、ガイドさんのおすすめを食べて、限られた時間を有効に観光できました。雪の中、時間通りに進めてもらって、運転手さんガイドさんのおかげで、楽しい１日でした。おススメです！

I was not used to driving on snowy roads and was too scared to do it, so I searched for various bus tours. The reviews were good, and the plan included places I wouldn't normally be able to visit, so I decided to participate, and I was very satisfied. The female guide was kind, and the driver drove safely, allowing us to enjoy a relaxed ride. It became a fun memory, and I’m glad I participated. Thank you very much. On the way back, I leisurely returned to the hotel while enjoying the recommended illuminations.

雪道は慣れてなく運転する事が怖くてできないのでバスツアー色々探しました。
クチコミもよく自分では中々いけないプラン内容だったので参加してみましたがとても満足でした。
女性のガイドさんも優しく運転手さんも安全運転で乗車時間もゆったりと過ごせました。
楽しい思い出となり参加して良かったです。
ありがとうございました。
帰りにはお勧めしてもらったイルミネーションを見ながらゆっくりホテルまで帰りました。

On my first trip from Hokkaido to Kyushu, there were only my sisters and me, but the tour guide was very considerate, and I made wonderful memories. It was a lot of fun.

初めて北海道から九州の旅で日本人は姉妹だけでしたが添乗員さんがとても気遣ってくれて
とても良い思い出が出来楽しかったです。

It was a tour in the rain. As expected, the Okinawa Islands can be expected to have good weather until October. From November, there are hardly any sunny days, so be careful.

雨の中のツアーでした。やはり、沖縄諸島は、10月までが天気が期待できます。11月からは、晴れる日がほとんど無いので、気を付けて。

Unfortunately, the weather was very rough. The bus driver on Iriomote Island and the staff on the mangrove cruise were very kind. I think it would have been a wonderful experience if it had been sunny.

On Taketomi Island, I had applied for a rental bicycle, but the person who came to pick me up was very unfriendly and had a cold attitude. I think it's better to skip the rental bicycle.

あいにく大荒れの天気でした。
西表島のバスの運転手の方やマングローブクルーズのかたはとても親切でした。
晴れてたら素晴らしい体験になったかと思います。

竹富島ではレンタサイクルを申し込んでいましたが、迎えに来られた方はとても愛想なく、冷たい対応でした。
レンタサイクルはやめたほうがいいと思います。

I participated in a day trip to Shirakawa-go on December 23rd. There was a news story on the 21st about the first snowfall in Shirakawa-go, and I was surprised to learn that there hadn't been any snow until then! I had assumed there would be snow, but thanks to the heavy snowfall on the 21st and 22nd, I was able to see that beautiful scenery.

12/23に白川郷日帰りツアーに参加しました。
21日のニュースで白川郷の初雪の話題が出て雪今まで無かったのか！当然雪はあるものだと思っていたが21.22の大雪であの風景を見る事が出来ました。

The weather wasn't great and it was cold, but the staff were kind and I had a lot of fun. It would have been perfect if the weather had been better.

天気が良くなくて、寒かったですが、スタッフの方が親切でとても楽しかったです。天気がよければ最高でした。

The guide spoke very little Japanese, and there was a lack of information. Communication was difficult due to their broken Japanese, which caused a lot of trouble. They mostly explained things in Chinese and spent a lot of time on their Instagram and talking on the phone with friends. The worst part was that the driver was completely exhausted from driving back and was dozing off, making it feel like we were about to have an accident. Even when I told the guide, they didn't do anything or seemed to understand the situation well. I believe this tour will become a major problem in the future. It wasn't just me; other customers felt the same way. It's disappointing because both the guide and the driver were really nice people. It’s probably the company's fault.

ガイドさんが日本語をほとんど喋れず、インフォメーションが足りません。カタコトの日本語なのでコミュニケーションが取れずに大変困りました。ほとんど中国語で説明していて、社内でガイドさんはずーっと自身のインスタ制作と友だちとの電話に時間を費やしていました。最悪だったのは、運転手が完全に帰りの運転に疲れ果てていて、コックリ運転で、事故に会いそうだったことです。ガイドさんに言っても、何もしてくれないと言うか、よくわかっていませんでした。きっと、将来的には大問題になるツアーだと思います。私だけではなく、他のお客さんも同意見でした。ガイドさんも運転手さんもとてもいい人だったので、残念です。多分会社が悪いんですね。

Since my flight back to Narita was at 20:30, I had a free day. After staying in Takamatsu the previous night, I took a high-speed ferry to the island early in the morning and signed up for a tour to see the beautiful autumn foliage at Kankakei. I had previously spent a similar free day exploring the island alone, but this time I enjoyed the benefits of a guided tour. The tour guide was thorough and easy to understand, and there were also some recommendations from the guide that I didn't expect. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that I could enjoy nostalgic "fried bread school lunch" at the "Movie Village," so I decided to have lunch there instead of at Kankakei, and I was very satisfied with that meal.

One inconvenience I experienced was due to the tour being on a Monday; the restaurant at Kankakei was closed during lunchtime, so I could only eat at the snack corner and ended up with a longer free time without a meal. This is why I chose to have lunch at the Movie Village, but the time allotted for lunch was short, so I couldn't enjoy my meal leisurely. Additionally, the departure time was tied to the high-speed ferry schedule from Takamatsu. The recommended bus departure was too early, and the next option was cutting it close, leading to an explanation that felt like special treatment. However, it seemed like there was enough time on the next bus as well. If there had been a normal explanation without the special treatment, I could have enjoyed breakfast at my accommodation in Takamatsu more comfortably, which was disappointing.

成田への帰りの便が20:30発であったので空いた1日です。
前日の高松宿泊から、早朝に高速船で島に渡り、紅葉のハイシーズンの寒霞渓を見たいとツアーに申し込みました。
以前は同じような日程で空いた1日を一人で島巡りをしたことがありますが、
今回はガイド付きのツアーで、そのメリットを充分楽しめました。
所謂、観光ガイドは丁寧で判りやすかったのですが、その他に所々に入るガイドさんのお勧め！今回はあまり期待をしていなかった「映画村」で昔懐かしい「揚げパン給食」が食べられるとのことで、寒霞渓での昼食時間は我慢して映画村での昼食にしてその食事に大満足です。
不便を感じたのが月曜日のツアーであったせいか、寒霞渓の昼食時間でレストランが開いていなくて、軽食コーナーでしか食事をすることが出来ず食事なしで長めの自由時間を持て余したこと、これがあったので映画村での昼食にしたのですがここは昼食にしては時間が短くゆっくり食事を楽しむことが出来ませんでした。
それと、主発の時間が高松からの高速船の時刻に関係付けられていますが、
お勧めの便ではバスの出発の時間に早着過ぎ、次の便ではギリギリなので特別扱いのような説明がありましたが、次の便でも余裕があったようです、何も特別扱いせずに普通に説明があれば、高松の宿での朝食が余裕をもって楽しめたのに残念です。

The water buffalo cart crossing the sea to Yubu Island was absolutely wonderful, and the water buffalo cart course on Taketomi Island, where bougainvillea blooms, was very soothing. The leisurely water buffalo made me feel warm and fuzzy. There are still many places on Taketomi Island that I haven't seen, and I feel a bit regretful about that. I already want to live there. Next time, I want to visit Yonaguni Island as well. I want to go again! ^_^

由布島へ海をわたる水牛車もめっちゃステキでしたし、ブーゲンビリア咲く竹富島の水牛車コースも癒されました。
のんびりやさんの水牛が、ほっこりしました。
竹富島はまだまだみてないところもあり心残りです。
もはや住みたいです。今度は与那国島にもいってみたいです。
また行きたいです^_^

It was a journey where I could truly feel that the topography, agricultural, forestry, and fishery products, as well as the flora and fauna of Okinawa, are thanks to the Ryukyu limestone. Since Okinawa aims to be a tourist nation, the level of the guides and facility staff is high. This was my fourth visit, and each time I gained new insights and resolved questions. However, new questions have arisen, and it seems I will be visiting again. The sightseeing bus tours, in particular, are excellent value for money and highly recommended.

沖縄の地形、農林水産物、動植物は、琉球石灰岩のおかげということが実感できる旅でした。沖縄は、観光立国を目指しているだけに、ガイドさんや施設担当者の方々のレベルが高い。今回で4回目の訪問でしたが、毎回新たな知見と疑問の解消を果たせました。ところが、また新たな疑問が生じ、またまた訪問することになりそうです。
特に観光バスツアーは、コスパ抜群でおすすめです。

The tour was not affected by the weather and covered everything. It rained quite heavily, but I felt very satisfied. I would like to participate again when I travel to Okinawa. Both the guide and the bus driver were great!

ツアー内容は天候に左右されず
すべて回ってくれ、
そこそこ強い雨だったが満足感が高い。
また沖縄旅行の時は参加したい。
ガイド、バスドライバー共に良かった‼︎

The departure location was easy to find, and it was helpful that there were enough umbrellas provided for everyone, even in the rain. I recommend this for those who want to efficiently circle the island without renting a car.

出発場所も分かりやすく、雨でも人数分の傘が用意されていたので助かりました。レンタカーではない旅行で効率的に島を一周したい方にオススメです。

I was able to participate without any issues as a solo traveler. The timing was just right, and the guide was polite and did a great job of keeping everything organized.

1人参加でも問題なく過ごすことができました。時間は過不足無く、ガイドの方も丁寧でしっかりと場をまとめていて素晴らしかったです。

Since it was December, the outdoor wind was cold and strong, which made me look down.

Please consider measures like transparent fields for the windows. Foreign visitors also seemed to be cold. In summer, it must feel nice in contrast.

季節柄12月だったので野外の風が冷たく強く
下向きになってしまいました。

まどに透明なフィールドなど対策をお願いします。
外国の方も寒そうでした。
夏は反対に気持ちいいんでしょうね。

I participated with my elderly mother.
We were able to efficiently tour Ishigaki Island, and it was convenient to drop off at Ishigaki Airport at the end.
It was a bit disappointing that the rice for lunch was cold.
In the end, we were able to listen to songs accompanied by the guide's sanshin, which became a wonderful memory.
I would recommend this tour to acquaintances who are going to Ishigaki Island.

高齢の母と参加しました。
効率よく石垣島を観光でき、最後は石垣島空港で降りれて便利でした。
昼食の、ご飯が冷めていたのが、ちょっと残念でした。
最後はガイドさんの三線と共に歌を聴けて、良い思い出となりました。
知り合いが石垣島に行く時は、お勧めしたいツアーです。

The bus meeting point was crowded with other buses, making it hard to find.
I couldn't listen to the audio guidance on my smartphone, so it would have been nice if it had been played inside the bus.
It would have also been helpful to be informed about the travel time to the destination.
I was very satisfied with the cost for the Churaumi Aquarium tour and dinner.

バスの待ち合わせ場所が他のバスと混雑しており、わかりづらいです。
スマホで音声ガイダンスが聴けないかったので、車内で流していただけたら良かったです。
また行き先までの所要時間なども伝えてくださればよかったです。
ちゅら海観光、ディナーまでの金額で大変満足しました。

It was wonderful to see the view from a high position and to observe the changes in color. It might not be suitable for those who want to take their time taking photos since there are no stops, but experiencing the scenery and announcements on the way to Namba, as well as riding on the highway in an open bus, was quite a unique experience. Haha! I also appreciated the provision of blankets and hand warmers!

高い位置から見ることができ、色の変化などを見れたのが素敵でした。
下車が無いのでゆっくり写真を撮りたい人には向いていないかもしれないですが、難波までの車窓やアナウンス、高速道路をオープンバスで走るのはなかなか出来ない体験でした。笑
膝掛けとカイロの提供もありがたかったです！

Mr. Shao, the tour guide, is very professional.
Bilingual in Chinese and Japanese.
The service was great, thank you to him.
On the day of departure, it snowed.
The snowy scenery of Lake Shikotsu is beautiful!

導遊邵先生非常專業
中日雙語
服務很好 謝謝他
出發這天下了大學
看到雪景的支笏湖好美！

With a one-day unlimited ride ticket, my goal was to enjoy the night view! On December 16, the weather was cloudy with a temperature of 21°C, so the open bus tour was pleasant with a nice breeze and a panoramic view. Most of the participants were foreigners. Thanks to the prompt support from the guide, we were able to enjoy two courses, adding extra value to our experience in a short amount of time. Since it was a Saturday, it was fully booked, and I shared a seat with someone from Mexico. We communicated while searching on our phones, and I had a wonderful experience, fully enjoying the beautiful night view of Tokyo!

The autumn leaves in Kyoto after 30 years were absolutely wonderful. I thought it would be extremely crowded with inbound tourists, so I boldly signed up for a one-day bus tour, and it was the right decision.

Despite the large number of tourists, we were able to stick to the schedule, and I was satisfied with every stop. The guide was kind and even took photos for us, making it a fun day.

30年ぶりの京都の紅葉　とても素敵でした。
インバウンドでものすごく混雑すると思ったので思い切って一日バス観光に申し込み大正解でした。

観光客が多い割には時間通りに回れて、どこも満足できました。
ガイドさんも親切で写真も撮って頂けて楽しい一日になりました。

We took a glass-bottom boat, but it seems that our child got seasick and couldn't enjoy it fully. However, while we had a fun time on the water buffalo cart, it seems the seasickness wore off.
On the glass-bottom boat, the engine noise is quite loud, so if you want to hear the explanations, it might be better not to go too far in. (We could hardly hear anything.)

グラスボートに乗ったのですが、こどもは酔ってしまって十分には楽しめなかったようです。ただ、水牛車で楽しい時間を過ごしている間に、酔いも覚めて？来たようです。
グラスボートでは、エンジンの音が結構大きいので説明を聞きたい方はあまり奥に行かない方が良いかもです。(我が家はほとんど聞けませんでした)

There were about 20 participants, including myself as the only Japanese, a Korean parent and child, and the rest were Chinese (including the guide). Instead of a sightseeing bus, we departed in three HiAce vans from a taxi company. We were informed that there would be no restroom breaks for the first two hours, so we headed towards Kumamoto Castle. Once we arrived, there was immediately a restroom break, and after receiving our entrance tickets, we had free time. Overall, everyone seemed to share similar impressions as the reviews suggested. Indeed, compared to Japanese travel companies, they might be slightly less efficient, but considering the public transportation is inconvenient around Aso, if you view it as transportation and lunch costs, I had no particular complaints.

By the way, since the participation date was just before a holiday, we returned an hour late due to heavy traffic. (Later, when I spoke with other travel companies, they mentioned that the traffic on that day was quite severe.) If you have a flight to catch, please be cautious.

参加は、日本人は自分だけ、韓国人親子、あとは中国人(ガイドさんも)の約20名。観光バスではなく、タクシー会社のハイエース3台で出発。2時間まではトイレ休憩なしとのことで、熊本城へ向かいました。着いたら、すぐトイレ時間があり、入場券をもらったら、その後は自由行動。概ね、皆さんが口コミ通りの感想です。たしかに、日本の旅行会社と比較すると、若干手際が悪いかも知れませんが、阿蘇のあたりは公共交通機関が不便なので、交通費+ランチ代と割り切っていれば、特に不満はありません。
ちなみに、参加日が祝日前で帰りがすごい渋滞で1時間遅れの帰着でした。(後日、他の旅行会社さんと話したところ、この日の渋滞はすごかったと話題になっていたそうです。)飛行機の時間がある方などはご注意を。

I enjoyed the magnificent nature with the snow-covered mountains in the background. The food was delicious, and thanks to the driver's safe driving and the guide's professional explanations and attentiveness, I was able to relax and have a great time. I would like to experience this again in another season.

雪化粧の山々をバックに雄大な大自然を満喫しました。食事も美味しく、運転手さんの安全な運転、ガイドさんのプロの説明と気遣いもあり、ゆったりとした気分で楽しめました。また他の季節に利用してみたいです。

It felt just right in terms of timing. It would be even better if we could make a quick stop at the Himeyuri Monument. The humid limestone cave was a first for me.

時間的にちょうどよい感じでした。ひめゆりの塔にちょっとだけ寄ってもらえるとよりよいかと。　蒸し暑い鍾乳洞は初めてでした

The meeting place was easy to find (I think other tours have similar locations as well), and the time allocation afterwards was just right. The steak wasn't delicious, so I think it was unnecessary.

集合場所もわかりやすく（他のツアーも同じような場所とは思う）　その後の時間配分もちょうどよし。　ステーキは美味しくなかったので不要かと思います。
