All Reviews for Bus Tours

Since there were few participants, we could choose our bus seats freely and sit comfortably, which was very pleasant. Both the guide and the driver were nice people. The lunch was also delicious. I think it was much more cost-effective in terms of time and money compared to going by public transportation on our own. However, it was a bit disappointing that we ended up with a group of foreign tourists on the Usuzan Ropeway, and it was extremely noisy.

参加人数が少なかったので、バスの席を自由に
選べゆったり座れたのでとても快適でした。
ガイドさんも運転手さんも感じの良い方です。
昼食も美味しかったです。
公共交通機関で自分達で行くより時間も金額も
かなりコスパがいいと思います。
ただ、有珠山のロープウェイで外国人観光客の団体と一緒になりものすごくうるさかった事だけが残念です。

I was able to visit the places I wanted in detail.
It was a well-organized tour.
It was truly wonderful.
The tour guide, as well as the people who participated in the bus tour, were great.
I would like to participate again.

回りたい箇所にきめ細かく行けた

It was just as I expected. The tour guide was from Taiwan and was very pleasant. At the end in Arashiyama, it got dark and I felt a bit rushed. In the end, we returned to Kyoto Station over an hour late. Those who plan to use this service should consider traffic congestion when making reservations.

ったとおりでした。添乗員さんが台湾の方でとても気持ちの良いかたでした。最後の嵐山では、日が落ち薄暗くて焦りました。結局京都駅に戻るのが1時間あまり遅れてしまいました。利用される方は、交通渋滞を考慮して予約したほうがよいですね。

I wasn't looking forward to the trip too much because the man I spoke to at Dream Tourism was quite unpleasant, but I was pleasantly surprised by the charm of Iriomote Island, Yubu Island, and Taketomi Island, which we visited along the way. Although there wasn't a guide accompanying us the whole time, there were local guides on each island who provided interesting explanations. The tranquility of the Nakama River cruise, the vast jungle-like nature, and the cool breeze made me feel grateful for choosing December for this trip.

The water buffalo on Yubu Island was adorable, and while the lunch on Yubu Island wasn't particularly delicious, the variety of souvenirs available was impressive. Although there were fewer options than at the airport, I was glad to have purchased some items here.

The tour also conveniently drops you off at Ishigaki Island, making it very convenient for those staying there. It's an efficient tour that takes you to places worth seeing, and I highly recommend it. Thank you very much.

ドリーム観光さんは、問い合わせ時の男性が非常に感じが悪かったのもあり、あまり楽しみにしておりませんでしたが、西表島と由布島、経由で降りた竹富島は、それぞれに魅力があり最高でした。付ききっりの添乗員さんはおりませんが、各島に案内人の方がいて、説明も面白く、仲間川のクルーズ静けさとジャングルのような広大な自然が目に入り、涼しい風が吹き、12月を選びよかったと思えるほど気持ちがよかったです。
由布島の水牛さんも可愛く、由布島のランチは美味しくはないですが、お土産の種類が豊富で空港よりは数が少ないですが、ここで購入して良かったと思えるお店でした。
石垣島も経由で降ろしてくれるので、石垣島泊の方にはとても便利です。
効率よく、見どころなある場所を巡ることができるツアーでとてもおすすめです。
有難うございました。

You can efficiently tour Iriomote, Yufu, and Taketomi Islands. The lunch on Yufu Island exceeded my expectations with delicious local food. During the free time on Taketomi Island, I rented a bicycle from a rental shop that came to pick us up at the port and visited the sightseeing spots. I highly recommend this course.

効率よく、西表-由布-竹富島を観光できます。由由布島での昼食は期待以上の地元食で美味しい。竹富島でのフリー時間は港に迎えに来ているレンタサイクル店でレンタサイクルを借り、観光名所をまわりました。このコースおすすめです。

Freshly made sata andagi at Manza Beach, wine at Pineapple Park, the stunning views of Kouri Island, the aquarium's visit duration was just right, and the cakes at the Churaumi Snack Castle were delicious (it would have been nice to have tea or coffee as well). Each spot also had restroom breaks, so I was able to enjoy the bus trip with peace of mind.

　万座毛の出来たてのサーターアンダギー　パイナップルパークのワインに蝶　古宇利島の絶景　水族館の滞在時間も丁度よいし　お菓子御殿のケーキはおいしい（お茶か珈琲もあったら良かった）スポットごとにトイレ休憩も兼ねているので安心してバス旅を堪能できました　

Shiroi Koibito Park is a place where you can return to your childhood and have fun. Thirty minutes was not enough; I wished for double the time. The outdoor market felt like it didn't require much time. The lunch was not very delicious compared to the advertisement and was just average for us. The Okurayama Viewing Platform had snow, and the view was fantastic. The ticket exchange location for this tour was quite difficult to find, possibly due to construction at the station. I would like to see a large sign put up. The meeting place after receiving the tickets also had no notice, making it hard to find. The price of the tour itself was reasonable and good. I often use this service when traveling abroad, and I have never felt dissatisfied with the service. I will continue to support you, so please keep up the good work.

白い恋人パークは童心に返って楽しめます。
３０分では時間が不足です、２倍欲しかったです。
場外市場は時間があまりいらないように感じました。
宣伝の割に昼食はあまり美味しくなく、私たちには普通でした。
大倉山展望台は雪が有り大変眺望が良く素晴らしかったです。
このツアーのチケット交換場所は駅の工事中の為か大変判りにくかった。
大きい看板を立てて欲しい。
チケット受け取り後の集合場所は張り紙も無くこれも分かりづらかったです。
ツアー自体の価格はリーズナブルで良かったです。
海外に行く時、良く利用しますが、サービス面で不満に感じた事は無いです。
今後も応援します、頑張ってください。

I often visit Kanazawa (this is my third time this year), but I haven't been able to participate in a day trip bus tour until now. I've always wanted to go to Shirakawa-go someday.

On the day of the tour, we had perfect weather with not a cloud in the sky, and I spent a fulfilling day listening to the enjoyable and pleasant stories from our bus guide, Mr. Kuroda.

In Shirakawa-go, he recommended some great photo spots, and although it took about 20 minutes on foot from where we got off the bus, I was able to take beautiful photos that looked like they were from a calendar, which made me very satisfied.

There was plenty of free time in both Shirakawa-go and Takayama, allowing us to enjoy at our own pace. I highly recommend this day trip bus tour for those who haven't been or for those returning after a long time.

Next, I would like to join a tour to Gokayama in a different season. Thank you very much.

金沢はよく来るのですが（今年は３回目）、なかなか日帰りバスツアーに参加できず、いつかは白川郷に行きたいとずっと思っていました。
当日はまさに雲ひとつない晴天の中、バスガイドの黒田さんの楽しくて心地良いお話を聞きながら、充実した一日を過ごせました。
白川郷ではおすすめの写真スポットを教えて頂き、バスを降りた所からは徒歩２０分位かかりましたが、カレンダーのような素敵な写真を撮ることができ大満足でした。
白川郷でも高山でもしっかり自由時間があり、自分たちのペースで楽しめます。
行ったことのない方や久しぶりの方にもおすすめの日帰りバスツアーです。
次は五箇山に行くツアーに違う季節に参加したいです。
ありがとうございました。

The tour guide was very good. They explained everything well in both English and Japanese. Since we live overseas and the children speak English, they were able to understand everything well, making it a very good tour.

添乗員さんがとても良かったです。英語と日本語で良く説明してくださいました。海外在住で子供達は英語なので、子供達も良く理解出来て、とても良いツアーでした。

On December 4th, I participated in the tour led by Taka-san and had a great atmosphere from the moment I checked in. The meeting time and other explanations were easy to understand. Thank you.

It seems we had good timing, as we had sufficient time at all four locations.

We walked quite a bit from the parking lot to each destination. At Arashiyama, it was a brisk 30-minute round trip to the bamboo grove. It’s up to you whether to go to the bamboo grove or not. For those who wanted to go, Taka-san guided everyone, saying it was "far."

The bus from Osaka will take you back to Osaka properly. The drop-off location in Osaka is different from the morning boarding location, so if you're not familiar, it's essential to have a map! Our bus returned almost on time. In total, we walked about 9 kilometers from Osaka Station to our return.

Since there is also a distance from the parking lot to the destination, comfortable walking shoes are a must. Next time I guide friends, I think it would be better to enjoy the area around Togetsukyo Bridge without going to the bamboo grove, as the distance was tough for the elderly.

In the crowded Kyoto, I felt it would be absolutely difficult for us, with nine participants, to visit all four locations in this time on our own.

For my first time in Kyoto, this tour was perfect for friends from overseas who wanted to see all four must-see spots! I would like to use this service again.

12月4日タカさん添乗で受付時点から良い雰囲気で参加させて頂きました。
集合時間やその他、説明もわかりやすかったです。ありがとう。

私達は、タイミングが良かったようで
4箇所とも充分な滞在時間がありました。

それぞれ駐車場から目的地まで割と歩きます。
最後の嵐山では、竹林まで早歩きで往復30分です。
竹林まで行く行かないは自由です。
希望者はタカさんが「遠いから」と皆を案内して下さいました。

大阪発のバスは、ちゃんと大阪まで送ってくれますよ。
大阪降車の場所が、朝の乗車場所とは違うので
不慣れなら地図を把握！です。私達のバスはほぼ時間通りに帰着しました。
朝の大阪駅から帰着まで合計で約９キロ歩いていました。

駐車場を降りて、目的地まではまた距離もあるので、歩き易い靴が必須ですね。次回友人を案内する時は、高齢者には竹林迄の距離が辛かったので、行かずに渡月橋辺りでゆっくり楽しみます。

大混雑の京都、私達は9人参加で4箇所をこの時間で自分達で
訪るのは絶対に難しい、と感じました。

初京都の絶対4箇所見たい！海外からの友人達に適したツアーでした。
また利用させて頂きたいです。

The lunch at Kiyomizu-dera was mainly yudofu, but it was cold, which was disappointing. Although there was a tour guide, there was no explanation provided. However, it was nice that there were Japanese explanations in between the English guidance for foreigners, and the personality of the tour guide was wonderful.

清水寺のランチは、湯豆腐メインでしたが冷えててガッカリしました。添乗員はつくけれど案内なしということでしたが、外国人向けの英語案内の合間に日本語説明があってよかったし、添乗員さんの人柄も素敵でした。

It was drizzling, but it was a tour that exceeded my expectations and was truly enjoyable. The guide's heartfelt stories with a Kansai accent were wonderful. There was so much I learned, like the reasons behind the colors of the illuminations from Umeda to Namba and the origins of place names, which satisfied my visual, auditory, and sensory experiences. The timing was just right as well. Thank you for a tour that adults can enjoy.

小雨でしたが、期待以上に愉しいツアーでした。ガイドさんの心の籠もった関西訛のお話が良かったです。梅田から難波までのイルミネーションの色の理由、地名の由来などなど、知らなかったことが盛り沢山で視覚、聴覚、五感で満足させて下さいました。
時間も、丁度いい感じでした。
大人が楽しめるツアーをありがとうございました。

My child wanted to go to the Churaumi Aquarium, so I made a reservation. However, I thought it might be a long journey just to go there, which could be tiring for my child (since we have a 2-year-old), so we joined this tour that allows for various stops along the way.

At the Nago Pineapple Park, there were many dinosaur models. It was impressive, and my child was very excited! Of course, the pineapples were also exquisite. After that, we stopped by the beach, where we could collect seashells, and it turned out to be more enjoyable than I expected.

Additionally, the bus guide's explanations were very easy to understand, and they even performed a song along the way, which was quite skillful. I felt like I got my money's worth.

As for the main aquarium, there was a distance from the tourist bus drop-off to the entrance, which took time for my child to walk. Including the time spent waiting for tickets near the entrance, it took about 30 minutes (round trip). Unfortunately, the free time we had at the aquarium was not a full 150 minutes, which was a bit disappointing.

子供が美ら海水族館に行きたいと言うので、予約しました。
ただ、そこだけとなると、道中長くて、子供がしんどいかな？と思い(2歳もいるので)、色々立ち寄れる、こちらのツアーに参加しました。
途中の名護パイナップルパークでは、恐竜の模型がたくさん。迫力もあり、子供は大興奮！もちろんパイナップルも絶品でした。
それからビーチに立ち寄り、貝殻拾いなどもできて、予想以上に楽しめました。
また、バスガイドさんの解説も大変わかりやすく、途中で唄を披露下さいましたが、お上手なこと。得した気分になりました。
メインの水族館ですが、観光バスの降り場から入口まで距離があり、子供の足では時間かかりました。また、入口付近でチケットを待つ時間等を含めると、約30分程は時間がかかりました(往復です)。水族館での自由時間が、正味150分ではなかったので、そこだけが残念でした。

It was a very enjoyable tour. The guide was very knowledgeable about plants, and if it had just been me, I would have just stared blankly, but they explained everything in detail. The driver was also very skilled at driving. I was also happy to see many Yakushima monkeys.

とても楽しいツアーでした。ガイドさんがとても植物などに詳しくて、自分をだけだったらボーッと眺めて終わってしまうところを詳しく教えてくださいました。運転手さんも、運転がとてもお上手でした。また、屋久島サルに沢山会えて嬉しかったです。

It was as beautiful as a dream. Since the photos and videos turned out blurry, I think I'll just use my eyes next time. I wanted to listen more carefully to the guide's explanations, but I couldn't hear well because it was small. However, the guide provided detailed information about various things, which made me feel closer to Osaka.

夢のように美しかったです。写真やビデオはブレてしまうので、次回からは肉眼でとおもいます。ガイドさんの説明をもう少しちゃんと聞きたかったけど、小さくてよく聞こえなかったです。でも、いろいろなガイドを細かくしてくださって、大阪を身近にかんじました。

I used this for a family trip. The guide was a kind person. Lunch was at a place with a view of Lake Toya (it had a nice atmosphere). I would like to use it again. ^^

家族旅行で利用した
ガイドさんも親切な人です
昼ご飯は洞爺湖が見える場所（いい雰囲気でした）
また利用したい ＾＾

I participated alone. I was worried about the cold, but I didn't feel much wind by the window... however, complete cold protection is essential. Wearing the hood of my coat kept me warm and my hair in place. There were blankets and hand warmers available for loan. There wasn't much space between the seats in front, behind, and to the sides, and we were instructed to sit closely together in the front. Since I was alone, I thought about moving to the empty seat in the back. It was a great memory to see the beautiful illuminations while the guide was talking! The cold was manageable, and the timing was just right.

一人で参加しました。
寒さが心配でしたが、窓際ではそこまで風を感じませんでした…が、やはり完全防寒対策必須。
コートの帽子をかぶってると暖かいし、髪も乱れません。ひざ掛け&カイロの貸出ありました。
座席の前後左右にゆとりはなく、前の方に詰めて座り位置が指定されていました。
一人だし空いていた後ろの席にうつりたいな〜とは思いました。
ガイドさんがお話しながらキレイなイルミネーションが見られていい思い出になりました！
寒さもあり、時間的にもちょうどよかったです。

Thanks to the guide's appropriate response, we returned to Kyoto Station from Arashiyama by JR. Considering traffic congestion, I think it's necessary to allow about three hours of extra time, but we managed to make it just in time.

ガイドさんの適切な対応で嵐山からJRで京都駅に戻った、やはり交通渋滞等を考え３時間程余裕が必要だと思う、なんとか間に合う事が出来た。

The mangrove tour on Nakama River was well-explained and easy to understand, allowing us to learn about mangroves in a fun way! Additionally, during the bus ride, the driver's commentary was excellent, making the journey enjoyable, and we were fortunate to have a great storyteller on the water buffalo cart to Yubu Island. It seems there are many good speakers on Iriomote Island. Thank you very much for enhancing the tour!

仲間川のマングローブ遊覧では、説明が上手でわかりやすく、マングローブについて楽しく学べました！
また、バス移動では運転手さんのドライブ説明が上手で道中も楽しめましたし、由布島に渡る水牛車でも話上手な人に恵まれました。
西表島には話上手な人が多いのでしょうか。
ツアーを盛り上げてくださり、本当にありがとうございました。

I had a great time participating in the tour. Since most of the participants were Chinese, the guide provided lengthy explanations in Chinese, while the Japanese explanations were quite brief. I was considering downloading a Chinese translation app halfway through the tour. But overall, it was fun!

楽しくツアーに参加できました。
ツアー参加者がほぼ中国の方なので、ガイドツアーさん中国語での案内は長々としてくれるのに日本語での案内は簡潔にまとめた感じだったので、ツアー途中から中国語翻訳アプリをダウンロードしようか悩んだとこでした。
でも楽しかったですよ。

I had been looking forward to this tour for a long time. Especially on the day of the tour, it happened to be the day of the Tanetori Festival on Taketomi Island, so I was very lucky to see the island's traditional culture up close.

前々から楽しみにしてたツアーでした。
特に当日の竹富島は、たまたま種子取祭の日という事で、島の伝統文化を目の前で見ることができとてもラッキーでした。

I signed up for a day trip to Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island, which I had never visited before. I was efficiently guided by boat and bus, making for a fulfilling day. Initially, I considered renting a car, but since I was traveling alone, I appreciated not having to deal with the fatigue of driving, and I found the bus trip surprisingly enjoyable. In particular, deepening my knowledge of mangroves and the experience of the water buffalo cart tour on Taketomi Island was invaluable.

これまで行ったことがなかった西表島・由布島・竹富島を日帰りで行けるということで申し込みました。船・バスで効率よく案内してもらえて、充実した１日となりました。当初レンタカーも考えてましたが、1人旅でしたので、運転の疲れもなく、バス旅行も意外といいなと思いました。特に、マングローブの知識が深まったことや竹富島での水牛車観光は貴重な体験となりました。

The round-trip cable car ride, including lunch, allowed us to enjoy the experience for 10 hours, and it was a great value. The automatic audio guide via earphones was available in multiple languages, and it was convenient to just remove the earphones when we didn't want to listen. The mushroom soup and lunch were satisfying as well. The views at all the sightseeing spots were fantastic. Although it was sunny, the snow from a few days prior made the snowy scenery very beautiful. I'm glad we visited the bear ranch too. The guide took a lot of photos for us. Thank you very much.

ロープウェイ往復、昼食代も込みで、10時間かけて楽しむことができ、コスパ最高でした。イヤホンによる自動音声案内も多言語対応で、聞きたくない時はイヤホンを外すだけなのでよかったです。きのこ汁や昼食も満足でした。どの見学地も景色が最高でした。晴れの天気でしたが数日前の降雪のため、雪景色がとても綺麗でした。クマ牧場も行ってよかったです。ガイドさんにたくさん写真を撮ってもらいました。ありがとうございました。

The bus guide was kind, and the driver drove safely, so I was able to ride with peace of mind. If I could wish for something, it would be great if the time at the sightseeing spots could be set a little longer, even if the return time is later. Also, since the guide only spoke Japanese, foreign visitors might have had some trouble understanding the explanations.

バスガイドさんも親切で、運転手さんも安全な運転だったので、安心して乗車できました。欲を言えば、帰る時刻は遅くてもいいので、観光地の時間をもう少しだけ長めに設定して頂けると良かったです。また、日本語オンリーのガイドさんだったので、外国の方は説明がわからず少し困ったかもしれません。

The guide spoke very well, and I enjoyed it.
The view of the illuminations from the open-deck bus was great.
Thanks to the guide's advice, I was able to capture a miraculous shot of the illuminations on Midosuji, and I was so moved that the cold didn't bother me at all.

ガイドさんが上手にお話して頂き、楽しめました。
オープンデッキバスからのイルミネーションの眺めは良かったです。
御堂筋のイルミネーションをガイドさんのアドバイスによって、奇跡的にシャッターを切ることができ、感激で寒さも吹っ飛びました。

The female guide's explanations were concise and provided great tips for our next trip. Her English was easy to understand and very educational.

We traveled with children, but her warm and thoughtful care and attention allowed us to fully enjoy a fulfilling day. Thank you so much for that.

Interacting with such a dedicated guide added to our travel experience, and I am truly grateful for the energy and motivation I received. Thank you very much.

女性ガイドさんのお話が要点を得ていて、次の旅のヒントまで下さり最高でした。英語も分かりやすく勉強になりました。
子連れでしたが、温かく細やかなお心遣いや配慮お声掛けで、最後まで満喫、充実した一日を本当にありがとうございました。

とても努力しているガイドさんに触れられ旅プラス、頑張る元気を沢山頂き感謝しております。
本当にありがとうございました。

I visited Shirakawa-go, which I had wanted to see for a long time. It was rainy in Kanazawa, but the weather was nice at the site. The mountains were covered in snow, and combined with the autumn leaves, it was absolutely stunning.

一度行ってみたいと思っていた白川郷に行って来ました。金沢は雨模様でしたが、現地は良い天気｡
山は雪化粧で紅葉と相まって最高でした。

I used it for the first time this year. Although they provide blankets and heating pads, it was very cold. However, there were many highlights of the illuminations to enjoy from the bus, so I think it's worth experiencing at least once for those who are unsure.

今年初めて利用しました。
カイロやブランケットの配布はあるもののとても寒いですがバスで味わえるイルミネーションの見所がたくさんあったので、迷っている方は1度は経験する価値はあると思います。

The passenger ratio was about one-third Japanese, with the rest mainly from China and South Korea. The guide was from China and spoke alternately in Japanese and Chinese. I thought I would get tired from the long bus ride, but the guide's skillful storytelling and the beautiful winter scenery outside made the time fly by. If I had to mention one thing, the exploration time was short, and I wished we could stay longer, but it seems unavoidable since the days are shorter in winter in Hokkaido. The guide mentioned that summer is more enjoyable. The snow-covered Hell Valley and Showa Shinzan were really beautiful, so I’m glad I visited in winter. The plan was well thought out, especially with the timing for sunset at Lake Shikotsu. I would like to book a different tour next time I visit Hokkaido.

乗客の割合は、日本人が1/3、その他は中国や韓国からが主でした。
ガイドさんは中国の方?で、日本語と中国語を交互に話してくださりました。
長時間バスに揺られて疲れるかと思いましたが、ガイドさんの巧みな話術や、外の冬景色に気を取られているとあっという間なように感じました。
ひとつ言うなら、散策時間が短いのでもっと滞在したいと思いましたが、冬の北海道は日が暮れるのが早いので仕方なさそうです。夏の方が楽しめるとガイドさんは仰っていました。雪の降った地獄谷や昭和新山がとても素敵だったので、私は冬に行ってよかったと思います。
日没に合わせた支笏湖など、とても考えられたプランでした。
また北海道に伺った際は、違うツアーを申し込みたいです。

I was able to visit four main tourist attractions in one day, including lunch. After searching various options, I thought this was the best and made a reservation.

About 30% of the participants were Japanese, but our guide Maria provided a thorough tour of Kyoto in both English and Japanese. Visiting the main attractions in one day with lunch at this price is very affordable. Thanks to Maria's kind and heartfelt service, I created wonderful memories of Kyoto. She was such a lovely guide that I took a commemorative photo with her at Fushimi Inari.

Thank you very much.

1日でメインの観光名所が4ヵ所もまわれてランチ付き、いろいろ検索しましたがこちらがベストだと思い予約しました。

日本人は3割ほどでしたが、ガイドのマリアさんが英語と日本語で丁寧に京都案内をしてくれます。
メインの観光名所を1日でまわれてランチ付き、このお値段はとてもお安いです。
ガイドのマリアさんの親切で心のこもった対応で、素晴らしい京都の思い出ができました。
とても素敵なガイドさんだったので、伏見稲荷で記念に一緒に写真を撮ってもらいました。

ありがとうございました。
