All Reviews for Bus Tours

The weather was nice, and I felt like I had reached the ends of the earth. However, I was disappointed that the shops were closed due to my late arrival, so I couldn't buy any souvenirs.

天気が良く最果ての地に到達したと感じられました。
ただ、到着時間が遅かったため売店が閉まっておりお土産が買えず残念でした。

I participated with my 83-year-old mother-in-law. Since there were 18 people on the tour, we were able to sit with some space between us. Both the guide and the driver were nice, which made me feel at ease.

At Asahiyama Zoo, we were lucky enough to see the "Mogumogu Time" with the penguins, polar bears, and the tamarin. The main goal of the trip, the Blue Pond and Shirahige Falls, had great weather, and we were able to take the best photos. The timing for bathroom breaks was also good, making it a fun day of sightseeing.

We participated as a pair, and when I calculated the costs of the rental car, gas, tolls, and the fatigue from driving, I definitely felt it was worth it. If I can come to Hokkaido again, I would like to join another tour with this company. My energetic 83-year-old mother-in-law also walked well and enjoyed participating.

８３歳の義母と参加しました。
ツアー客18人だったので間隔を空けて座れました。
ガイドさんも運転手さんも良い人で安心しました。
まず旭山動物園では、運良くペンギン・白熊・手長ざるの「モグモグタイム」を見る事が出来ました。
1番の目的、青い池や白ひげの滝は天候も良く最高の写真が撮れました。
トイレ休憩のタイミングも良く楽しい1日観光でした。
2人で参加しましたが、レンタカー代・ガソリン代・高速代・運転の疲れなど計算したら絶対お得だと思いました。次、北海道へ来れたら
またコチラの会社のツアーに参加したいですね。
８３歳の元気な義母も、しっかり歩いて楽しんで参加していました。

The weather gradually worsened, and our guide mentioned, "Even if we go to Chihiro Falls, you might only hear the sound and not see the waterfall," but we were able to see it safely! For some reason, when we got out of the car at other spots like Gajumaru and Okawa Falls, it would start to drizzle or the rain would stop... It felt miraculous that we could enjoy everything. On the way back, I was grateful for the kind ride back to the hotel. I was worried about whether the plane would take off, but miraculously, it cleared up and we flew safely! It's quite difficult to explore Yakushima alone, but thanks to this experience, I had a fulfilling and memorable trip to Yakushima.

天候がだんだん悪くなり、ガイドさんから「千尋滝に行っても、音だけで滝は見られないかも」とのお話がありましたが、無事見ることができました！
その他ガジュマルや大川の滝もなぜか車を降りると小雨になったり、雨が止んだり…
奇跡のようにすべてを楽しむことができました。
帰り、親切にホテルまで送ってくださってありがたかったーです。
飛行機が飛ぶか心配でしたが、これも奇跡的に晴れて、無事飛びました！
なかなか一人では、屋久島を回ることはできませんが、お陰様で充実した思い出深い屋久島旅行になりました。

It was my first trip to Shirakawa-go and Gokayama. The guide and driver were very attentive and provided detailed explanations, plus they kindly recommended great photo spots, making for a very meaningful and enjoyable day. Thank you very much. If I have the chance, I would like to participate in other bus tours as well.

初めての白川郷と五箇山の旅行でした。ガイドさんと運転手さんの行き届いた気配りと詳しい説明、プラスおすすめの写真撮影のスポットまで親切に教えていただき、大変有意義で楽しい一日を過ごすことが出来ました。ありがとうございました。また機会があればほかのバスツアーにも参加したいです。

The guide who assisted us was very nice, and we had a fun tour! Although the bus was full, it was on time, and I was able to relax and enjoy the trip without worrying about my return ticket. The information about the sightseeing spots was clear, and I received helpful recommendations for shops along the way, which was great. Also, the bus driver was friendly and had a smile. The ride was smooth and comfortable. I hope to use this tour company again someday! Thank you!

案内いただいたガイドさん！とっても良い方で、楽しくツアーができました！
満席でしたが、バスは時間が正確で帰りの切符を購入しておりましたが気にせず安心して回れました。
観光地の情報も分かりやすくて、お店の情報も適宜教えてもらったりと大変良かったです。
あと、バスの運転手さんも笑顔で良い方でした。振動はなく乗り心地良かったです。
また、いつかこちらのツアー会社でと思っております！ありがとうございました～！

What surprised me at first was that the bus had unreserved seating. (I’ve seen this in bus tours abroad, but it seems rare for bus tours in Japan…?) This means that the later you board, the fewer seat options you have, so if you definitely want a window seat or don’t want to be separated from your group, it’s better to arrive early.

On the day of the tour, there seemed to be many participants from overseas, but the atmosphere inside the bus was quiet. Even if someone was a minute or two late, everyone was well-mannered. It was nice to see that everyone seemed to be enjoying the sightseeing, which made me feel happy too.

I have visited Hokkaido many times, but the scenery varies greatly depending on the location and even the season at the same place. For those traveling alone without a car but wanting to visit various places and enjoy stunning views, this tour was truly appreciated. I would love to participate in a tour like this again.

最初に驚いたのが、バスが自由席だったこと。
（海外で参加したバスツアーにはそういったものもありましたが、日本のバスツアーでは珍しい気が…？）
つまり、乗車時間が遅くなるほど席は選べなくなるので、絶対に窓側に座りたい方や、グループで参加するのにバラバラになりたくない方は早めに行ったほうがいいです。

当日は、海外からのお客様も多く参加されていたようでしたが、車内は静かで、集合時間に遅れても1～2分程度で、皆さんマナーがよかったです。
観光中もとても楽しんでいる様子でしたので、何だかこちらまで嬉しいような気持ちになりました。

北海道には何度も訪れていますが、場所によって、また同じ場所でも季節によって、ずいぶん風景が違いますね。
一人旅・車ナシ、でも色々な場所に行って絶景を楽しみたい人にとっては本当にありがたいツアーでした。
またこのようなツアーがあったら参加したいです。

We rode on a double-decker bus for the first time during our trip with five family members ranging from their 20s to 80s. I was worried about whether the elderly could climb the bus stairs, but there were handrails, and it was fine.

The seats were narrow, but the weather was clear, and the pleasant breeze in May made the view of Osaka from above absolutely fantastic. The scenery in Dotonbori was different from what we saw while walking, and I thought it was worth more than the price with the enjoyable guided tour.

If I have the chance, I would like to ride it again.

初めての二階建てバス、20代から80代までの家族5人で旅行中に乗りました。年寄りがバスの階段を上れるか心配でしたが手すりもあり大丈夫でした。
シートは狭いですが、晴天で5月の心地よい風が吹き、高いところから見る大阪の景色は最高でした。道頓堀は歩いて見た時とまた違った景色が広がり、楽しいガイド付きでお値段以上だったと思います。
機会があればまた乗りたいと思います。

As a person who doesn't drive, I was very grateful for this bus tour since I couldn't use a rental car.

I participated in the morning tour, and I was able to fully enjoy Yakushima's nature, from the mountains to the sea.

We visited numerous spots, and I felt that the free time for exploration at each location was more than sufficient.

ペーパードライバーの自分にはレンタカーが使えなかったので、このようなバスツアーはとてもありがたかったです。

私は午前中のみのツアーでしたが、山から海まで十分に屋久島の自然を味わえました。

数多くのスポットを巡りましたが、それぞれのスポットでの自由散策の時間も必要十分だったと感じました。

I was very glad to have such great weather.

Before signing up, I wondered how it would be with fewer Japanese participants, but it actually made me feel like I was overseas. I was impressed that the tour guide could speak three languages! The course was excellent, and it turned out to be a very fulfilling trip. Since the distance was long, I hesitated about renting a car, but I’m glad I decided to go for it.

とても天候に恵まれてよかったです。

申し込む前は日本人の割合の方が少ないってどうなの？って思っていましたが、逆に海外に行ってる気分になれたような。
添乗員さんが3カ国語も話せるなんてすごい！！って感心しました。コースも申し分なくとても充実した旅行になりました。
距離が長いのでレンタカーと迷いましたが思い切って申し込んでよかったです。

It had been 40 years since I last visited Kyoto, and I was filled with both excitement and anxiety. The affordability was definitely appealing, and while I had prepared myself to some extent after seeing other people's posts, I was surprised to find that over 90% of the visitors were from various countries, which was enjoyable in its own way. I was impressed by the tour guide who provided explanations and guidance in multiple languages! I truly appreciated all the help with admission tickets, lunch, and more.

京都の観光は40年ぶりで期待と不安で一杯でした。
なんと言っても安さが魅力的でしたが、他の方の投稿を見ていましたのである程度は覚悟はしていましたが、本当に9割以上の方が多国籍の方でしたがそれはそれで楽しかったです。
添乗員さんが、多言語で説明と案内をしてる事に感心しました!
入場券、昼食など…本当に色々とお世話になり助かりました。

I was able to see a lot efficiently in one day! I think it was really great to visit all the places I wanted to see.

Our guide, Mr. Okina, was very thorough and explained everything clearly, which made me very satisfied (*^^*). Driver Mr. Matsushita, thank you for your hard work driving all day.

It was a wonderful trip, thank you! ✨

１日でたくさん効率的に見れて良かった！
見たかったところをいっぱいまわれて本当にいい内容だと思います

ガイドの翁さんも丁寧でわかりやすく説明していただき、大満足(*^^*)
ドライバーのマツシタさんも１日運転お疲れさまでした

素敵な旅行になりました、ありがとうございます✨

When I rode the water buffalo cart in Yufu, I was able to spend a very relaxed and peaceful time swaying gently in the slowly moving cart. I was impressed by how the water buffalo skillfully turned without colliding on the narrow paths of Taketomi Island.

由布・竹富島での水牛車に乗った際は、ゆっくりと進んでいく水牛車に揺られながらとてもゆったりとした穏やかな時間を過ごすことができました。
竹富島では細い道もぶつかることなく上手に曲がる水牛はすごいと感動しました。

I participated alone. I spent a wonderful time with the person next to me. Although I couldn't see Cape Erimo due to the fog, the rest of the scenery was fantastic. I would love to join again if there's another opportunity.

一人で参加さていただきました。
お隣の方とご一緒させていただきとても素敵な時間を過ごさせていただきました。
地球岬だけ霧でみえませんでしたがあとは最高の景色です。
また機会があれば参加したいです。

I participated in a day trip bus tour from Kanazawa Station to Gokayama and Shirakawa-go. There were also foreign participants on the tour.

First, I was surprised by the guide's fluent English. It was great how they skillfully used both Japanese and English, providing clear explanations. They also recommended great souvenirs and food, which was enjoyable.

Additionally, the driver was very pleasant and engaged with the guests. I have visited Kanazawa several times, but it was nice to be able to explore a bit further. I would like to join another tour to different places if available.

Thank you very much.

金沢駅から五箇山、白川郷への日帰りバスツアーに参加しました。外国の方も一緒のツアーでした。
まず驚いたのは、ガイドさんの流暢な英語。日本語と英語を巧みに使い、わかりやすい説明で良かったです。
おすすめのお土産や食べ物も教えてくださり、楽しかったです。
また、運転手さんもとても感じの良い方で、お客さんに声をかけてくれました。
何回か金沢に訪れていますが、少し遠くを観光できるのは良かったです。
別の場所もツアーがあれば行きたいです。
ありがとうございました。

On the day of the visit, the weather was favorable, and although the peak bloom of the moss phlox had slightly passed, the magnificent scenery that colored the entire area made me take a lot of photos.

当日は天気にも恵まれて、芝桜のピークは少し超えていましたが辺り一面を彩る壮大な景色に、思わず写真をたくさん撮ってしまいました。

I thought it might be hectic, but it was nothing like that at all; I was able to fully enjoy the island for the first time. The food was delicious too!

バタバタかなぁと思いましたが全くそんなことは無く、初めての島を満喫できました^ ^
ご飯も美味しくてよかったです！

Thank you for your hard work interpreting in both English and Japanese, especially with so many visitors from abroad. I hope your schedule becomes even busier. The photo taken with my wife in the bamboo grove in Arashiyama has become a wonderful memory. Thank you very much.

外国から来られた方がとても多く、英語と日本語での通訳お疲れさまでした。益々お忙しくなりますように祈念申し上げます。嵐山の竹林で撮っていただいた妻との写真がとても良い思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。

The weather was great, and it was the best bus tour. I participated with my mother, who is in her 60s, and we were very satisfied to visit all the major tourist spots in one day. The tour guide's precise actions, just sitting on the bus to reach our destinations, being able to visit famous places in Kyoto in one day, and the distribution of free time was just right to achieve our goals. Since 90% of the participants were foreigners, I was able to study English through the tour guide's explanations, and the Kyoto cuisine was delicious, among other things. It was truly enjoyable! I have been to Arashiyama many times, but walking the path recommended by the tour guide was incredibly soothing. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

お天気もよく、最高なバスツアーでした。
60代の母と2人で参加しましたが、主要な観光地に1日で行けて大満足です。
添乗員さんの的確な行動、バスに座っているだけで目的地に着く、1日で京都の有名どころに行ける、自由時間配分はちょうどよく目的は達せれる、参加者は9割外国人なので添乗員さんの説明で英語が勉強できる、京料理が美味しい等。
本当に楽しかったです！
嵐山には何度も行っていますが、添乗員さんオススメの道を歩くとすごく癒されました。
素敵な思い出をありがとうございました！

It was June, during the rainy season, so there were only four participants, including my husband and me. Although the number was small, the bus interior was relaxing, and the guide provided various explanations right after we boarded, which was enjoyable.

When visiting for sightseeing, it's easy to focus only on the fun aspects, and I usually don't get the chance to learn about the origins or history of Ishigaki Island. However, on this tour, I was able to hear about the origins of the Tomb of the Chinese and the tidal flow of Kabira Bay, see wild palm trees, and listen to stories about encounters with habu snakes, which was enjoyable. Of course, the guide also shared stories and songs passed down in Ishigaki Island, and I was most surprised by the guide's skill in playing the sanshin and singing! I even wondered if they might be a professional.

Out of the four participants, one person got off at Ishigaki Airport, but they seemed to have enjoyed themselves and waved goodbye to the bus with a smile. It’s a journey around Ishigaki Island that feels like it’s possible yet elusive, so I had a great time participating and learning various things.

6月の梅雨時だったせいか、当日は私たち夫婦を含めて４名の参加でした。人数が少なかったけれど、バス車内はゆっくりくつろげるし、乗車してすぐにガイドさんがいろいろ説明してくれて楽しかった。

観光で行くと楽しいことばかりに目が行ってしまって、石垣島の由来とか歴史なんて学ぶ機会はないですが、このツアーでは唐人墓の由来とか、川平湾の潮の流れとか、野生の椰子の木を見たりハブとの遭遇話など聞けて楽しかったです。もちろん、石垣島に伝わる話や歌も披露してくれて、実は一番びっくりしたのは、ガイドさんの三線と歌の上手さです！実はプロなんじゃないかな？と思ったくらいです。

参加者４名のうち、おひとりが石垣空港で下車されましたが、その方も楽しまれたようで笑顔でバスを見送ってくださいました。
石垣島をぐるっと島を巡る旅は行けそうで行けないので、今回参加していろんなことを聞けて楽しかったです。

I'm glad I participated since there were many places I couldn't go by myself. However, it was really difficult to find a place to have lunch. In the end, I had to buy something at a convenience store and eat it by Lake Toya... I was told there were ramen restaurants, but I just wasn't in the mood for ramen. It would have been perfect if lunch options were a bit more fulfilling.

自分では行けない場所ばかりだったので、参加してよかったです。ただ、お昼を食べる場所が全然なくて探すのが大変だった。結局コンビニで買って洞爺湖で食べるはめに…
ラーメン、レストランがあると言われたが、ラーメンを食べる気にならず。もう少しお昼が充実していれば最高でした。

Since we participated with 10 people, the schedule was efficient, and the time spent at tourist spots when getting off the bus was appropriate. The time spent at the Churaumi Aquarium was also just right, allowing everyone to enjoy themselves.

10名で参加したので、スケジュールが効率よくバス下車の際の観光スポット滞在時間も適切でした。美ら海水族館での滞在時間も適当で其々で楽しむことができました。

I'm glad I could get a brief overview of the famous spots in Osaka. I didn't know much about Osaka, so it was educational for me. The location of the incident that inspired "Sonezaki Shinjū" no longer has the same desolation as it did back then. Of course, during the Edo period, the town must have been bustling as an economic city. The view was nice. However, since I'm sensitive to the cold, I thought it might be tough to be on an open-deck bus during the colder seasons. I think this time of year is just right.

大阪の名所をかいつまんで教えてもらえてよかったです。
あまり大阪のことをよく知らずにいたので勉強になりました。曽根崎心中の元になった事件の場所は、当時のわびしさは今はもうありませんね。江戸時代ももちろん経済都市として町は賑わっていたのでしょうが。
眺めはよかったです。ただ私は寒がりなので、オープンデッキバスでは寒い季節はきびしいかと思いました。今ぐらいの季節がいいのでは。

It was my first time in Shirakawa-go, so I explored it with great interest! The bus from Takayama had only six people, so we could sit comfortably. Among us were six foreigners. The interpreter explained everything in Japanese just for us. I felt a bit sorry about that! Shirakawa-go truly is a World Heritage site!

初めての白川郷でしたので、とても興味深く巡りました❗️高山からのバス、6人でしたので、ゆったりと座れました。その内外国人が6人。通訳の方、我々のためだけに日本語で説明。申し訳なかったですね❗️白川郷は、流石、世界遺産❗️

Although the weather was unfortunately sometimes pouring rain, the guide's explanations and songs were enjoyable. There were many water buffalo, each with their own personality, and the veteran, Rekio, that I rode was very cute with his silly antics, making me laugh several times along the way. I think if the weather had been better, I could have enjoyed the scenery even more, but I was more than satisfied just riding the water buffalo cart. Is there a possibility of a repeat to ride different water buffalo carts?

時折土砂降りのあいにくの天候ではありましたが、
ガイドさんの説明や歌が楽しかったです。
水牛は何頭もいて、それぞれ個性があるらしく、
私が乗ったベテランのレキオくんは、おとぼけぶりがとても
かわいく、道中何度も笑わせてくれました。
天気がよければ、もっと景色が楽しめたとは
思いますが、水牛車に乗るだけでも十分満足しました。
いろんな水牛車に乗るためにリピートもあり？？

With a travel distance of 330 km, it's understandable that the time spent at each destination is limited, but it would be great if we could stay an extra 10 minutes at each place. This time, the weather was clear, so we were able to enjoy the stunning views, but the approach to Rokkozaki and the Blue Cave involves steep paths, which might be a bit challenging in rainy weather... If you're expecting the Blue Cave to resemble the original one in Italy, you might be a little disappointed since it's illuminated with artificial blue lights. There was also coffee service twice during the trip, and the enthusiastic guidance from the tour conductor, who had handwritten notes, was nice.

走行距離330Kmなので、訪問地の滞在時間が短くなってしまうのは仕方ないことですが、各地でもうあと10分ゆっくりできたら最高でしょう。
今回は晴天だったので絶景を楽しめましたが、禄剛崎と青の洞窟はアプローチが坂道なので、雨天だとちょっと大変かも・・・青の洞窟は本家イタリアの青の洞窟を連想していると、人工光による青色ライトアップなのでちょっとがっかりするかも・・・
車内では午前午後2回のコーヒーサービスもあり、手書きメモを片手の添乗員さんの初々しい？？案内もよかったです。

At Hokkaido Jingu, the freshly made Fukure mochi from Jingu Chaya was delicious.
Shiroi Koibito Park seems to be mainly for souvenirs.
In Otaru, I enjoyed visiting delicious seafood and sweets shops.
I was impressed by the emerald sea and the mystical rocks at Cape Kamoi.

北海道神宮では神宮茶屋の福レ餅が、注文してからの焼きたてでおいしかったです。
白い恋人パークはお土産専用かな。
小樽ではおいしい海鮮とスイーツ店めぐり。
神威岬はエメラルドの海と神秘的な岩に感動しました。

Since I was traveling alone in Okinawa, I thought about renting a car but decided to join a tour instead. I was impressed by the detailed explanations of the history of Sefa Utaki. I was amazed by the power of Sefa Utaki, enjoyed Okinawa World, and it was a satisfying tour.

一人で沖縄旅行なので、レンタカーもどうかと思いツァーに参加しました。斎場御嶽の歴史をていねいに説明いただき、感激しました。斎場御嶽のパワーに驚き、沖縄ワールドも楽しみ、満足なツァーでしたしました

Everything was better than I expected. Despite being a morning course, it was fulfilling without any wasted time.

思っていたよりすべての所が良かったです。
午前中のコースにもかかわらず、無駄な時間もなく充実していました。

It was great that we could efficiently visit the main islands and major tourist spots. Since there isn't much to see on the islands, I think it's better to do a tour and cover everything at once.

主要な島を、主要な観光スポットを効率よく回れたので、すごく良かった。島の観光に時間をかけても、特に見るところがないので、ツアーで一気に回ってしまった方が良いと思う。

I had a day free in Sapporo due to my schedule, so I participated alone. The tour efficiently covered areas that are difficult to access without a car, and there was no unnecessary time spent at souvenir shops, which is often the case with bus tours. It was a very well-balanced day trip. The guide provided just the right amount of sightseeing information and care, making it comfortable for me as a solo participant. I also made friends with another solo traveler on this bus tour, and we went to eat Genghis Khan together afterward, creating great memories. The only downside was the very bad weather, but I think of that as part of the experience.

Before signing up, I hesitated, thinking it might be tiring if there was too much travel time or if the time at souvenir shops was long, but all those worries were unnecessary. I recommend this tour for anyone who wants to see this area in a limited amount of time.

スケジュールの都合で札幌で1日あいたので、1人で参加しました。車なしでは行きにくい範囲を効率よく回って貰えたし、バスツアーにありがちな余分なお土産物屋立ち寄り時間もなく、とてもバランスの良い日帰りツアーでした。ガイドさんは、細かすぎない観光案内と適度な面倒見の良さで、一人参加でも快適に過ごせました。今回のバスツアーでは同じく1人で参加されてた方ともお友達になれ、ツアー後に一緒にジンギスカンを食べに行ったりして、良い思い出になりました。お天気がとても悪かったのだけが残念でしたが、それも思い出の一つかなと思っています。
申し込む前には、移動時間ばかりだったらしんどいなとか、お土産物屋時間が長いと嫌だな、などと、躊躇していたのですが、全て不要な心配でした。限られた時間でこのエリアを見たい方にはおすすめです。
