All Reviews for Bus Tours

The departure and meeting point were written as Kyoto Station, so I thought we would be on the bus until the end and bought a lot of souvenirs. Then, at the very end, they handed out JR tickets from Arashiyama to Kyoto Station and told us to return individually. I was disappointed that it wasn't to the meeting point at Kyoto Station as stated.

出発と 解散場所が 京都駅と 書いてあったので
最後まで バスだと思って お土産も 沢山買っていました。
そしたら 最後の最後に 嵐山から 京都駅まで JRの 切符を 渡すので 各自 帰って下さいとの事でした。
どうして 書いてあった 解散場所の 京都駅までじゃなかったのか ガッカリでした。

Since I was alone, the bus tour that allowed me to efficiently visit the tourist spots in Ishigaki Island, included lunch, and dropped me off at the airport was very convenient. I was able to make effective use of my time. The guide's explanations were easy to understand and interesting, making it a lot of fun.

一人だったので車の運転よりも石垣島の観光地を効率よく回れて、ランチもついて、最後は空港で下車できるバスツアーは、便利でした。時間も有効に使えました。ガイドさんの説明もわかりやすく面白く、とても楽しかったです。

The guide was from China and was excellent, and they spoke Japanese well. Since we had front-row seats at Lake Shikotsu, we spotted a red fox with a cherry salmon in its mouth. Additionally, we were able to converse with the driver, making it a premium experience.

ガイドさんが中国の方でサイコー、日本語も大丈夫。支笏湖で最前席だったので、ヒメマス咥えたキタキツネ目撃、その他、運転手さんとも会話できてプレミアム体験となりました。

It was fun, and the places we visited were great, but the schedule was too packed. I was disappointed that I only had one hour at Pineapple Park, which didn't allow for enough shopping. I hope they can reconsider the time allocation. Also, there was someone who misunderstood the meeting time and didn't come back, so I would like them to distribute a schedule to ensure everyone is well-informed about the meeting time.

楽しかったし、行く場所も良かったのだがスケジュールが過密過ぎる。パイナップルパークが1時間しかないせいで買い物が満足にできなかったのが残念。
なので時間配分を見直して欲しいとは思う。
あとは集合時間を勘違いして帰ってこない人が居たので、時間表を配ったりなどして集合時間の周知徹底をしっかり行って欲しい。

After the typhoon passed, it was a great tour that allowed for sightseeing even in the stormy weather, which was appreciated for a solo female traveler without a rental car. The guide was experienced and knowledgeable, and the tour covered almost all the must-see attractions, simply wonderful. The value for this price is very reasonable.

台風一過後、暴風雨の中でもしっかり観光をしてくれ、レンタカーをしない女性一人旅には有難いツアーだった。　ガイドもベテランで知識も豊富、ツアー内容もほぼ必見観光地を網羅していて、素晴らしいの一言。この料金でこの内容は良心的だ。

It was a short solo trip, so I didn't rent a car, but I was able to enjoy the last morning effectively in just half a day.

At the Okurayama Jump Stadium, I saw university students practicing and performing beautiful jumps. Later, I indulged in hairy crabs and oysters at the outdoor market, and on the way back, I got off at the clock tower just as the beer festival was taking place.

It turned out to be a satisfying trip on the last day.

短い時間での一人旅でしたので、レンタカーも借りておらず、
半日で最終日の午前を有効的に楽しめました。

大倉山のジャンプ台では、大学生たちが練習中で、華麗なジャンプも見られ、後半には場外市場で毛ガニや牡蛎を堪能、
帰りはちょうどビール祭りを開催中でしたので
時計台のところで下車させて頂きました。

最終日に満足な旅になりました。

I was able to participate without any hesitation, even as a single person. All the activities were great, but if I had to wish for something, I would have liked the glass boat point to be closer to the image of a tropical fish tank.

オジさんのお一人様でも気がね無く参加させていただきました。どのアクティビティも良かったですが、強いて願わくばグラスボートのポイントは熱帯魚水槽イメージに近づけて欲しかった

The lunch included in the tour was greatly appreciated. On July 16th, it was hot, as expected in the basin city of Kyoto. The sightseeing bus tour from Fushimi Inari Taisha to Kiyomizu-dera, Kinkaku-ji, and Arashiyama was optimal as it allowed for breaks along the way. The bus served as a refuge from the blazing sun, making it a strong ally for us first-timers. We had lunch at a scenic spot on the approach to Kiyomizu-dera, and arrangements for the admission tickets were made while we ate. What excellent coordination!

Thanks to this, we were able to participate in the Yamaboko Junko the next day with energy. (We also relied on VELTRA for the procession. From the taxi pickup, our spirits were high. We never expected to be able to visit Honno-ji, which was a big surprise.)

For first-timers, especially during the busy season, I think there are various tour options available. Thank you very much.

昼食付き、コースはありがたかったです。
７月１６日、暑いのひとこと。さすがは。盆地の街、京都。伏見稲荷大社から、清水寺、金閣寺、嵐山方面観光バスツアーは、目的地までの間に休息ができ最適。照り付ける太陽の下にあって、バスが避難場所。初めての私達にとって、強い味方でした。清水寺の参道では、見晴らしのよい場所で昼食。食べている間に、拝観券の手配。なんと手回しのよいこと。
おかげ様で、翌日も元気に山鉾巡行に参加できました。（巡行もベルトラさんにお世話になりました。迎えのタクシーから、気分はアゲアゲ。まさかの本能寺にお参りできるとは、思ってもいません、大サプライズ。）
初めてで、特に混む季節は、ツアー様々だと思います。ありがとうございました。

We couldn't visit all the courses on our own, so it was great to be taken around by bus. However, I couldn't hear the guide's voice well, so I missed the explanations of the sightseeing spots.

自分たちでは、すべてのコースはみてまわれないので、バスでつれていってもらえて良かったただ、ガイドさんの声が後まで聞こえなくて観光名所の説明がわからなかった

My first trip to Kyoto was a fun tour where I could visit all the places I wanted to see. I am very satisfied. Thank you! I highly recommend it! ♪

初めての京都旅行　行きたい観光地行けて楽しいツアーでした。大満足です。ありがとうございました！おすすめです♪

One-day bus tour itinerary in southern Hokkaido

In the morning, we went to Noboribetsu Hell Valley. Unfortunately, there were no little monkeys soaking in the hot springs since it was summer.

Next, we visited Showa Shinzan, formed by volcanic rock accumulation, and fed the Hokkaido brown bears at the bear ranch.

Then we toured Lake Toya, the largest hot water lake in Hokkaido. There isn't much around Lake Toya, but you can feed the fish. However, the view from the Lake Toya observation deck is excellent, and the TOYA sign is great for photos.

I must mention that our guide, Jiajia, was fantastic! She spoke Chinese, English, and Cantonese fluently. Each attraction was introduced perfectly and with a good sense of humor. It was both educational and entertaining; I regret not joining the tour earlier. I didn't have much luck exploring Otaru on my own.

参团北海道南 巴士一日游行程

早上去了登别地狱谷
可惜夏天没有泡温泉的小猴子

紧接去了火山岩堆积形成的昭和新山
熊牧场喂了北海道棕熊

接着周游的洞爷湖是北海道最大的温水湖
洞爷湖旁边没啥、可以喂鱼
但洞爷湖展望台绝佳、TOYA牌子太好拍照了。

不得不提导游嘉嘉太棒了！中英文、粤语都说的很溜～
而且每个景点介绍的都很恰到好处、也比较幽默。寓教于乐、后悔没有早点参天。 自己去玩的小樽都、没玩出名堂。

The guide, Mr. Sho, is very knowledgeable, and his humorous explanations are wonderful! He is fluent in both Japanese and Chinese! It's more amazing than I imagined.

ガイドさんのショウさんは知識豊富で、ユーモアの解説も素晴らしい！日本語と中国語ペラペラ！想像以上すごい

I understood the overview of Sapporo in a short time. As a foreigner, I was very impressed with the earphones! The view from the top of Okurayama JUMP is amazing!

短い時間で札幌概要を分かりました。外国人としてイヤホンに大感動！大倉山JUMPの上から景色はすごい！

The tour guide was friendly, so I didn't feel lonely or anxious participating alone. The explanations of each sightseeing spot were easy to understand.

添乗員さんが気さくなので1人で参加しても寂しさや不安はありませんでした。各名所の説明も分りやすかったです。

I went with a friend. The weather was nice. We took a lot of photos. It has unique features compared to other places. It was a great experience.

友達と行きました。天気が良かったです。いっぱい写真を撮りました。他のところと比べて特徴があります。いい体験でした。

I was able to experience the World Heritage sites of Shirakawa-go and Gokayama. It was great. While each area recorded the highest temperatures of the season, I was troubled by the heat, and it was disappointing that the observation deck in Shirakawa-go was under construction, preventing me from fully enjoying the view. I would like to visit again in a different season after some time.

The bus had safe driving, and the air conditioning worked well, making it comfortable. The guide's explanations were also easy to understand. I thought it would have been better if the morning departure time had been 30 minutes later, and if we could have returned to Kanazawa using the expressway like we did on the way there.

白川郷と五箇山2地区を巡り、世界遺産を味わうことができました。よかったです。各地で今季最高気温を記録する中、暑さに参ったことと、白川郷の展望台が工事中で展望を十分に楽しめなかったことが残念でした。期間をおいて違う季節に訪れたいです。
バスは安全運転で、冷房もよく効き快適でした。ガイドさんの案内もよく分かりました。朝の出発時刻があと30分遅く、帰りも行きと同じように高速を利用して金沢に戻れないかとも思いました。

I used a limited-time early morning flight.
Departure at 7:50 → 10:08: ① Kiyomizu-dera
It was relatively empty in the early morning. I walked briskly to worship, took a round, had ice cream to cool down, and then took the bus back to Kyoto Station at 10:30.
Kiyomizu-dera has steep slopes, so it's recommended to explore while you still have energy.
Departure at 10:50 → 11:43: ② Nishi Hongan-ji, just for worship.
Departure at 11:43 → 13:22: ③ Lunch at Karasuma Market, enjoyed a leisurely lunch and watched the Gion Matsuri stalls.
Departure at 13:22 → 14:19: ④ Nijo Castle
I walked briskly around once.
Departure at 14:19 → 15:24: ⑤ Kinkaku-ji
I was able to take my time exploring.
Departure at 15:24 → 16:35: ⑥ Ginkaku-ji
I was able to take my time exploring. Had soft serve ice cream to cool down.
Departure at 16:35 → 17:35: ⑦ Heian Shrine
I couldn't visit the Kyocera Museum of Art.
Departure at 17:35 → 18:29: ⑧ Gion
I watched the stalls at the Gion Matsuri's Yoiyama festival.
Returned to Kyoto Station at 18:55.
I visited 8 places and had a fulfilling time sightseeing in Kyoto.

I thought there would be a guide in Japanese. If there is no Japanese information, I would like it to be clearly stated. The guide was very polite.

Also, we could not go to Gotemba Outlet due to traffic congestion.

日本語でのガイドがあるのかと思っていた。日本語の案内がないならわかりやすく記載してほしいです。ガイドさんは非常に丁寧でした。

また、旅程に含まれていた御殿場アウトレットに交通渋滞により行けなかった。

I participated with three colleagues! It started with the bus guide's perfect announcements, and I felt a sense of security throughout thanks to the safe driving.

The plan was focused on the zoo, but we couldn't manage to see everything even at a brisk pace... My honest feeling is that it would be nice if the meeting time could be a bit earlier to extend the viewing time.

However, I am very grateful to have seen the behavioral exhibits that I was looking forward to, and to have experienced it at this price! I definitely want to use this service again.

同僚3人と参加しました！バスガイドさんの完璧なアナウンスから始まり、安全運転で終始安心感がありました。
動物園に特化したプランでしたが、私たちには急ぎ足でも回り切ることができませんでした…せめてもう少し集合時間を早くして、見学時間が伸びたらいいのになというのが率直な感想です。
ですがお目当てだった行動展示をこの目で見られて、そしてそれをこのお値段で体験できたことに私はとても感謝しています！ぜひまた利用させていただきたいです。

A two-day, one-night trip to Yakushima. I was researching how to visit Yakusugi Land and the Jomon Sugi in the limited time I had on the afternoon of the first day when I discovered this tour. With the local bus, you can only visit either Yakusugi Land or Jomon Sugi, and I was also considering using a taxi for one way, so I decided immediately after seeing the tour price.

It was really helpful to leave my large luggage on the bus and enjoy sightseeing, and I appreciated being taken to my hotel in the Onojima area after the tour.

Additionally, I was grateful for the guide's consideration for guests who could only walk slowly. Having a guide made it easy to understand the highlights, and if I have the opportunity to visit Yakushima again, I would like to join the morning course as well. Thank you very much.

一泊二日の屋久島旅行。初日の午後から限られた時間でヤクスギランドと紀元杉をいかにして回ろうかとリサーチしていたところこのツアーを発見。路線バスではヤクスギランドか紀元杉のどちらかしか回れず、片道はタクシー利用も考えていたのでツアー代金を見て即決。
雨がパラつく中、大きな荷物をバスにおいて観光できたのと、ツアー後に尾之間エリアのホテルまで送っていただけたのは本当に助かりました。

また、ガイドさんの、ゆっくりしか歩けないゲストへの気配り心配りもありがたかったです。案内が付くことで見どころもよくわかり、また屋久島に行く機会があれば、午前のコースにも参加したいです。
ありがとうございました。

Since I came all the way to Ishikawa, I wanted to explore the Noto Peninsula as well, but going on my own seemed quite difficult, so I joined this tour. The male bus guide had a modest impression, but he mixed in some amusing stories, making the tour enjoyable. They also provided snacks and coffee, which made it feel like a leisurely outing. The Shirakami Senmaida was a place I had always wanted to visit, and I was moved when I got there. Perhaps because it was just before the summer vacation season, there were relatively few tourists overall, which allowed us to enjoy the sightseeing at a relaxed pace within the allotted time.

せっかく石川に旅行に来たので能登半島も観光したいなと思っていましたが、自分で行くのは結構大変なので、こちらのツアーに参加しました。
男性のバスガイドさんで控えめな印象でしたが、時折クスっと笑えるお話を混ぜながらのガイドで楽しく過ごせました。
おやつやコーヒーも用意してくださっており、遠足気分でゆっくりできました。
白米千枚田はずっと気になっていた場所でもあり、訪れた時は感動しました。
夏休みシーズン前だったためか、全体的にも観光客が少なく、決められた時間内でゆっくりと観光ができたのも良かったです。

I participated the day after trekking at Shiratani Unsuikyo. I was suffering from severe muscle pain due to my lack of exercise, but it was great to be able to enjoy sightseeing comfortably. For those who want to take their time to see each spot, the sightseeing time might feel a bit short, but considering that it's possible to cover everything in one day, I think it's sufficient. I appreciated the thoughtful gestures, like allowing my companion with back pain to use the back seat and stopping the bus when we spotted a family of monkeys along the way. The only downside was that the Western Forest Road was closed, but I believe it gives me something to look forward to next time.

白谷雲水峡トレッキングの翌日に参加しました。日頃の運動不足がたたってバリバリの筋肉痛だったのですが、楽して観光が出来てとても良かったです。一つ一つをじっくり見たい方には少し観光時間が物足りないかもしれませんが、1日で回れることを考えれば充分だと思います。腰痛持ちの同行者のために後部座席を使わせて頂いたり、途中やくざるの親子がいればバスを止めて下さったり細やかな気遣いが有り難かったです。唯一、西部林道が通行止めだったのが残念ですが、次の楽しみが出来たと思っています。

When entering the water from land, there was a big splash that was impressive, and those on the outside got thoroughly soaked, resulting in everyone bursting into laughter! It was a very enjoyable tour! I want to ride again.

陸路から水に入る時には、ザブーンと水しぶきをあげ迫力があり、外側の人はしっかり濡れて皆さん爆笑！とても楽しいツアーでした！また乗りたいです。

The bus didn't require masks, but there weren't many people talking, so it was comfortable! The tour had about 30 people, half Japanese and half Asian! Both the guide and the driver were kind. The beauty of Cape Erimo and the grilled whelk skewers were delicious! The guide, Shu, used Japanese, Chinese, and English, and his multilingual guidance was impressive! His dedication really came through! Thank you very much.

バスの中は特にマスク着用ではなかったけど、喋ってる人も余り居なくて快適でした！
日本人とアジアの人半分半分で約30人のツアーでした！ガイドさんも運転手さんも優しくて、、
地球岬の美しさとつぶ貝の焼いた串(串つぶ)
美味しかったです！
ガイドのシュウさん？日本語、中国語、英語
3カ国使ってのガイドは圧巻でした！
一生懸命さが伝わって来ました！！
ありがとうございました。

My grandson and his mother (both Americans) wanted to see Mount Fuji, so we participated in the tour.

The English guide was great. Although we couldn't see Mount Fuji, we had plenty of fun with the matcha experience, Oshino Hakkai, and Gotemba Outlet.

日本初めての大学生になる孫と母親(共に米国人)が富士山を見たいというので参加しました。

英語ガイド良かったです。富士山は見えませんでしたが、抹茶体験、忍野八海、御殿場アウトレットで十分楽しんでもらえました。

Since it was my first time touring the Yaeyama Islands, I chose a tour where I could listen to detailed explanations. I participated with the intention of just getting a taste, as it's certainly not an island you can fully explore in half a day. However, on Yubu Island, I was healed by the stories and songs of the ox cart driver, and I was able to relax while encountering the fallen Sagari flowers at just the right moment.

When crossing to Yubu Island, I happened to ride in the only four-wheeled ox cart, pulled by "Mirai." I plan to visit the leisurely ox cart driver (whose name I forgot) again on my return.

初めての八重山諸島巡りなので詳しく説明を聞きながら周れる　ツアーにしました。
到底半日で周れる島ではないので触りだけのつもりで参加しましたが由布島では牛車夫さんの語りと歌に癒やされ島内ではタイミングよくサガリ花の落ちたのに出くわしのんびりと過ごせました。
由布島へ渡るときの牛車は偶然にも1台しかない4輪のものでそれを引く「未来」クン
帰りに乗ったのんびり屋さん（名前は失念）にまた会いに行きますよ。

You can go on your own, but the beauty of the tour is that the guide provides detailed explanations about the places you will visit along the way. Based on that knowledge, my visits to the Sefa Utaki and the Gangala Valley turned into a wonderful journey.

At Sefa Utaki, I stepped into the heart of the Ryukyu Kingdom's politics, a place that served as a spiritual home for the king and the people. In the Gangala Valley, each group had a specialized guide who joyfully introduced us to the valley's formation, its flora and fauna, and the remains of ancient human dwellings and burials, allowing us to share a moment in time with the ancient Port of Nakagusuku people.

Although my wife, who was supposed to join me, was unwell and I participated alone, I had a great time.

自分で行くことも出来ますがツアーの良さはガイドさんが道中にこれから行くところを詳しく説明してくれるところだと思います。
その知識をもとに行った斎場御嶽とガンガラーの谷は素晴らしい旅になりました。
斎場御嶽では琉球王国の政治の根幹をなす王と国の民の心の拠り所に足を踏み入れ古代王朝の世界に。
ガンガラーの谷ではグループごとに専門のガイドさんが楽しくこの谷の成り立ちや動植物、古代人の住居跡や埋葬の跡を紹介してくれ太古の港川人と時空を共有出来ました。
同行予定の妻が体調不良でひとりで参加しましたが楽しく過ごせました。

It was a tour full of highlights! The guide provided detailed information, which made it even more enjoyable. I think it would be tough to go on our own due to the distance and lack of knowledge.

見所満載のツアーでした！ガイドさんが詳しく教えてくれるので、より一層楽しめました。自分達で行くには距離的にも辛いし、知識もないし大変だと思います。

About two-thirds of the guests were foreigners, so the guide provided explanations in Japanese, English, and Chinese repeatedly. There were some parts that were a bit difficult to understand, but the guide was sincere, which made it acceptable.

The tour had an appropriate time allocation, allowing for efficient sightseeing, and I was satisfied with that. However, at the lunch area in Lake Toya Onsen, most of the shops were closed? Unfortunately, this meant lunch ended up being a convenience store bento, which was disappointing.

Overall, it was excellent.

外国人のお客さんが2/3位占めてたので、ガイドさんが日本語、英語、中国語で繰り返しガイドされて、少し分かり辛い所もありましたが誠実な方でしたのて許容範囲でした。
ツアー内容は適切な時間配分で効率良く観光でき満足でした。
ただ、昼食エリアだった洞爺湖温泉では、お店の大半が営業時間外？だったため、昼食がコンビニ弁当になってしまったのが残念でした。
トータルでは◎でした。

The tour started at 2:30 PM, which was a bit late, so the time spent at each location during the bus tour was short. I recommend joining an earlier tour. The water buffalo was cute.

ツアーに参加した時間が2時半と遅かったので、バス観光での各所の滞在が短かったです。早い時間で参加するのがおすすめです。水牛はかわいかったです。
