All Reviews for Bus Tours

It was my first trip to Okinawa. Since I couldn't reserve a rental car due to Golden Week, I joined this bus tour. There was heavy traffic, but the bus took us everywhere, so I was able to enjoy it without stress. At the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, I focused on the Oki-chan Theater and the whale shark exhibit. I quickly finished my meal! It was a bit busy, but I was able to buy souvenirs as well. Be careful as the bus parking lot is quite far away. The itinerary was packed, but it was great for efficiently exploring during my first trip to Okinawa.

初沖縄旅行でした。レンタカー予約がゴールデンウィークだという事もあり出来ずに、こちらのバス旅行に参加しました。大渋滞でしたがバスが全部連れて行ってくれるので、ストレスなく楽しめました。美海水族館はおきちゃん劇場とジンベイザメのブースに絞る。ご飯もサッと済ませる！と少し忙しいですが、お土産もちゃんと買えました．バスの駐車場が離れているので注意が必要です。盛りだくさんのコースですが初沖縄旅行で
効率的に周れるので良かったです。

All the areas I recognized from the guidebook were covered, and lunch was included. It was quite good. Personally, I think the performance is worth the 12,800 yen, especially since it includes lunch.

ガイドブックで見覚えがあるエリアは全て網羅され且つ昼食付き。かなり良かったです。個人的には12,800円でも「昼飯付きだから」と納得出来るパフォーマンスと思います。

As soon as we realized we wouldn't make it on time due to traffic, we quickly got off the bus and walked together to Shirakawa-go. Our guide also shared great recommendations for souvenirs and local cuisine, creating many unforgettable memories that we wouldn't have experienced otherwise. This was a unique type of guide. I hope we can meet again somewhere.

渋滞で間に合いそうにないと判断するや、すぐにバスから降りて歩いて全員で白川郷に向かったり、おすすめのお土産やグルメ情報を教えてくれたり、なかなか経験出来ない思い出が沢山できました。今までにないタイプのガイドさんでした。
またどこかで巡り会えますように。

The water buffalo was amazing!
I had fun visiting three islands in one day!
The tour bus driver was also great at storytelling, it was the best!
I want to come back for sightseeing again! ✨

星の砂
水牛最高でした！
１日で3島まわれて楽しかったです！
観光バスの運転手さんも話が上手くて最高でした
また観光にきたいです✨

We participated as a group of three. The weather was cloudy, but it was great to spend the day without rain just before the start of the rainy season. During busy periods like holidays, it seems you can get caught in traffic.

The trip there was a bit crowded, but the guide was wonderful, and we were able to enjoy ourselves on the bus while learning a lot about Okinawa.

Weather and crowds depend on luck, but I highly recommend this for efficiently exploring and learning about Okinawa. One of our family members had difficulty walking, but it was a relief that they were able to store the wheelchair in the cargo area.

３人で参加しました。
天気はくもりでしたが、梅雨入り前
の時期に雨も降らずに１日過ごせてよかったです。
連休など混雑期は、渋滞に巻き込まれることもあるようです。

行きは少し混雑しましたが、ガイドさんがすばらしく、車内でも楽しめたり、沖縄のことを色々知ることができました。

天気や混雑は運次第ですが、効率よく
まわって沖縄のことを知るためにはすごくオススメです。
足が悪い家族がいたのですが、車いすを貨物室に預かってもらえ助かりました

I was worried that the tourist spots would be crowded, but it was fine. It wasn't a rushed schedule, which was very nice. I couldn't have visited this many places in one day on my own, and I appreciated that they planned to end with the beautiful sunset at Lake Shikotsu. It was a well-thought-out plan.

観光地はどこも混んでいそうだと心配していましたが大丈夫でした。慌ただしい時間配分でもなくとても良かったです。個人では1日でこれだけ行けないし、夕日が綺麗な支笏湖を最後にと考えてくれてあったり、よく考えられたプランで良かったです。

I used this service at the end of my trip to Ishigaki Island. As a beginner in Ishigaki, I found it to be a very worthwhile tour that allowed me to visit historical sites and attractions. I felt a great impression from the guide who subtly promoted Higashi Kotsu. Next time, I will use Higashi Kotsu's route bus. As an option, I recommend the glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay.

石垣島最終に利用しました。
石垣島、初心者でしたので、歴史、名所を回れて、とてもお得感のあるツアーでした。
さり気なく東交通を宣伝するガイドさんに、とても好感を感じました。
次は東交通の路線バスを利用しますね。
オプションですが、川平湾のグラスボートはオススメです。

I was able to have a fulfilling day in just one day. It was a bit hectic, but it was a great deal with the tour, and I would definitely recommend it to my friends.

1日で濃厚な日を過ごす事が出来ました。ちょっと慌ただしかったですが、お得なツアーでとても良かったです。友人にも勧めたく思いました。

I was very satisfied. The refreshing feeling while running is unbeatable. It's also very convenient to get off at the places I want to see and then hop back on! I used a two-day pass during the first half of Golden Week. About 80% of the people were foreigners, which was a sight you don't often see in Japan. It looked like a lot of fun. I definitely want to use it again if I have the opportunity.

とても満足でした。走ってるときの爽快感はたまりませんね。そして自分の観たい所で降りて、また乗ってととても便利ですね！私はゴールデンウィーク前半に２日券で利用しました。８０％が外人でとても日本では無いような光景でした。とても楽しそうでしたよ。また機会が有りましたら是非利用したいと思っております。

I participated during the 2023 Golden Week. The bus was nearly full, with more than half of the passengers being inbound tourists (mainly from Asia). The guide was of Chinese descent and provided information in Japanese, Chinese, and English, which was impressive. All the participants seemed to be enjoying themselves throughout the day, and the itinerary had a perfect time allocation, making it a highly satisfying day.

２０２３年GWに参加。バスはほぼ満席、そのうち半数以上が（主にアジア圏の）インバウンド観光客でした。ガイドさんも中華系の方で、日本語、中国語、英語の３か国語を駆使して案内をしてくれ、感動しました。どの参加者も終始楽しそうで、行程も時間配分がちょうどよく、満足度の高い一日となりました。

Otaru was so much fun that it felt like no time at all. The Cape Kamoi, which I was looking forward to the most, had extremely strong winds, but the breathtaking view made me feel the roundness of the Earth. The attendant's organizational skills were excellent, handling every situation promptly. They clearly explained the meeting times and bus rules in English to the foreign tourists, ensuring everyone understood, which made the ride comfortable. We returned to Sapporo much earlier than scheduled, thanks to the efforts of the attendant and the driver. Thank you for a wonderful trip!

小樽は楽しすぎてあっという間、一番楽しみにしていた神威岬は超強風でしたが、地球が丸いことを実感できる絶景でした。
アテンダントさんの仕切り力が素晴らしく、どんな場面もテキパキと対応。
外国人観光客にも集合時間、バス内のルールを英語できっちり説明、理解を得ていたので車内も快適でした。
予定時間よりかなり早く札幌市内に帰着できたのは、アテンダントさん、ドライバーさんの尽力のおかげです。
楽しい旅をありがとうございました！

Touring in a short schedule... I struggled to decide. Everywhere was crowded, and I don't think I could have done the same sightseeing using public transportation. 😊

短い日程での観光…悩んで決めました。どこも人で溢れ、公共機関では同じ観光はできなかったと思います(^^)

It's not a large island, so by taking this bus, you can get a good overview of Yakushima. The flying fish fry for lunch was delicious, and the bus guide was kind. It was an enjoyable tour.

大きな島ではないので
このバスに乗れば　屋久島のことが一通りわかります。
昼ごはんの　トビウオのフライが美味しかった
バスガイドさんも親切で
楽しいツアーでした。

I wish we had a bit more time in Otaru. We didn't have enough time. We spent too much time at the dining place and couldn't explore much.

小樽フリータイムがもう少し時間があったらよかったなぁ。って思います。少し時間が足りなかったです。食事場所で時間がとられ、散策があまりできませんでした。

Due to an input error with my address, I was able to make a reservation, but I did not receive a confirmation email. When I consulted via email, they considered my situation and provided appropriate instructions for handling it. I was able to board without any issues, which was a relief.
On the day of the trip, the weather was nice, there was no traffic, and the explanations about the redevelopment of Midosuji and the temple town were interesting and left a lasting impression.
Thank you very much. I had a great time.

　アドレスのインプットミスにより、予約は出来たが返信メールが届かず、対応をメールで相談した所、検討いただき適切な処理方法を指示いただきました。無事に乗車ができ、安心しました。
　当日は天気が良く、渋滞もなく、御堂筋の再開発の説明，寺町の説明は面白く印象に残りました。
有難うございました。楽しかった。

I chose a bus tour plan because I was anxious about walking around and moving by bicycle during my pregnancy. The weather was great, and even though it was May, it was really hot, so taking the bus was definitely the right decision! Thank you very much.

妊娠中で歩き回ることや自転車等の移動に不安があった為、バス観光のプランにしました。
お天気にも恵まれ5月でしたがすごく暑かったので
バス移動で大正解でした！ありがとうございました。

I participated on May 2nd. There were 45 participants, with an equal mix of Japanese and international attendees. The travel time was surprisingly short, around 20 minutes to 1.5 hours. The duration at each spot was not too long, and since we were always engaged, it was enjoyable without feeling bored. The tour guide's character was great as well. Thank you for taking photos for us.

If you're looking to try "uni don" while sightseeing in Otaru, I recommend "Otaru Kaisen Aka, Ao, Kiiro." While the average price in the area is 5,500 yen (including tax), this restaurant offers it for 4,950 yen (prices may vary).

5/2に参加。参加者は45名。日本人と海外の方が半々。
移動時間が意外と短かった。20min~1.5hくらい。
各スポットの滞在時間も長すぎず、常に頭を使うのでダレなくてよかった。
添乗員さんのキャラもよかった。写真撮ってくださってありがとうございました。

小樽市内の観光時に「うに丼」を食べるなら「小樽海鮮あか・あお・きいろ」がおすすめ。
エリアの相場が5,500円（税込）な中で、同店は4,950円（時価なので変動はあり）。

I was looking forward to the tour, which was packed with activities, but what I was most excited about were Kamoi Cape and the roadside station in Yoichi. However, due to time constraints... I was told not to go to the tip of Kamoi Cape and that we wouldn't stop at the roadside station. I understand that for the tour guide, this is just one of many tours they conduct, but for me, it was supposed to be my first and last tour, so I was really disappointed. I feel that if the communication had been different, my disappointment might have been lessened. That said, this tour efficiently covered so many tourist spots, and I was able to create wonderful memories. The bus ride was very stable, and I enjoyed the scenery from the window without feeling nauseous.

内容盛り沢山のツアーでどこも楽しみにしていましたが、最も楽しみだったのが神威岬と余市の道の駅でした。でも時間の都合で…と、神威岬の先端までは行かないでください、道の駅は寄りませんと…。添乗員さんにとっては数多くこなしているツアーの一つだと思いますが、私にとっては最初で最後のツアーになる予定なので、本当にがっかりしました…。言い方、伝え方が違ったら、ガッカリ感も少なかった気がします…。とは言え、これだけ多くの観光地を効率よく回ることのできるツアーは、とても充実しており思い出もできました。バスの運転もとても安定していて、酔うこともなく楽しく車窓からの景色を楽しむこともできました。

I went with my parents, and we had a fulfilling time enjoying the sights. It was a rewarding day. The tour guide at the sightseeing spots provided thorough explanations, which was also educational. The hotel shuttle service was great, as they confirmed the reservation before departing.

両親と3人で行きました。
充実な時間と観光を楽しめて、充実した1日でした。
観光地のガイドさんも丁寧に説明してくれるので勉強にもなります。
ホテルまで送迎もあり、ちゃんと予約者の搭乗を確認してから出発してくれるのが良かった。

It was a shame that the clouds were thick and the color of the sea was a bit dull, but I was glad to see various places. The guide's stories and the songs of Okinawa were wonderful too!

曇が厚く、海の色も少しどんよりしていたのが残念でしたが、色んな場所が見れてよかったです。ガイドさんのお話や沖縄の歌も素敵でした！

On May 2nd, I participated in a Yakuzaru sightseeing tour around Yakushima. After a tiring camping trip the day before, hiking from Mount Miyanoura to Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo, this bus tour of Yakushima's famous spots was just perfect. The beautiful views of the sea and mountains from the window were amazing. The guide, Ms. Kawasaki (a woman who was born and raised in Yakushima and loves the island), was very entertaining and made the experience a lot of fun. I was impressed by Chihiro Falls, Okawa Falls, and the beautiful sandy beach at Inakahama. On the way to Seibu Forest Road and Yakusugi Land, I also encountered cute Yakuzaru and deer, which was fantastic. The fried flying fish I had for lunch was delicious, making it a very satisfying sightseeing tour. It's definitely more efficient than renting a car, and you get to enjoy the guide's fun explanations, so I highly recommend it.

5月2日にやくざる号での屋久島周遊観光に参加しました。前日の宮之浦岳〜縄文杉〜白谷雲水峡の縦走登山キャンプで疲れた体には屋久島の名所をバスで回ってくれる周遊観光ツアーはとっても良かったです。窓から見る美しい海と山の景色は最高でした。ガイドの川崎さん？（屋久島で生まれ育った屋久島を愛する女性）のトークもすごく面白く大変楽しかったです。千尋の滝、大川の滝、田舎浜の綺麗な砂浜には感動しました。西部林道やヤクスギランドに行く途中で可愛いやくざるや鹿さんにも出会えて最高でした。お昼に食べたとび魚の唐揚げも美味しくてとても満足な周遊観光でした。レンタカーを借りて廻るより効率的でガイドさんの楽しい説明も聞けるので絶対におすすめです。

Thank you to all the staff for the very polite explanations! I was able to efficiently visit two gassho-zukuri villages and enjoy the different atmospheres.

スタッフの皆様はとても丁寧に説明して頂いて、ありがとうございました!
効率良く、２つの合掌造りの村を回れて、違う雰囲気を楽しめました。

It was unfortunately cloudy, but it was comfortable and not too hot. This tour is efficient for a one-day trip and just the right fit, plus the transportation is on a large high-speed boat, so I recommend it.

あいにくの曇りでしたが、暑くなく快適に過ごせました。1日で回るには効率が良く、丁度いいツアー、移動も大型の高速船なのでおすすめです。

The bus tour was well-organized, the meals were delicious, and it was truly great. Especially, the tour guide was entertaining and very kind, so I was extremely satisfied.

バスツアーの内容が充実しており、食事も美味しく大変良かったです。特に添乗員さんが面白く、またとても親切だったので、大満足です。

The weather was bad, which was a bit disappointing, but throughout the trip, the bus guide kept us entertained, and somehow the time passed enjoyably. I wonder if the glass boat at Kabira Bay would have looked even more beautiful if the weather had been nice?

天気が悪く少し残念でしたが、終始バスガイドさんが楽しませてくれなんとか楽しく時間が過ぎていきました。
川平湾のグラスボートも天気が良ければもっと綺麗に見えたのかな？

We gathered at the information center of the TV Tower at 8:40 AM on April 30th and visited Hokkaido Shrine, Shiroi Koibito Park, took commemorative photos at Otaru Canal, enjoyed free time in Otaru, explored the Shakotan Peninsula, and visited the Yoichi Space Center. Most of the customers were inbound tourists, and the tour guide provided explanations in English. They navigated the language barrier with overseas visitors very well. I definitely want to participate in the bus tour again.

4月30日8時40分にテレビ塔のインフォメーションセンター集合して、北海道神宮→白い恋人パーク→小樽運河記念撮影→小樽自由時間→積丹半島→余市宇宙センターと巡ってきました、お客様の大半はインバウンドの人達で添乗員さんめ英語で案内してました、海外の人との言葉の壁をもろともしなく上手く案内してました、またぜひバスツアーに参加したいと思います。

For those visiting Yakushima for the first time!!
For those who haven't been in a while...
A bus tour around Yakusugi Land and the Jomon Cedar will serve as a foundational study for Yakushima sightseeing.
Since I participated in this tour at the beginning of my 4-night, 5-day trip, it was very helpful.
I think it's good to visit Shiratani Unsuikyo (6-7 km) followed by the Jomon Cedar (22 km) for a gradual acclimatization.

「やくざる号」午後
初めて、屋久島を訪れる方に！！
久々の方へも、、、
ヤクスギランド、紀元杉をバスで、周り、屋久島観光の基礎勉強となります。
屋久島旅行の始めに（初日）ツアーに参加したので、4泊5日の旅行に非常に役だちました。
白谷雲水峡6〜7km、縄文杉22kmの登山の順に観光すると、身体も慣れるので、良いと思います。

I used this service on the day I returned from Okinawa to the mainland. It was a compact tour that took me to Naha Airport. I have been to Okinawa many times, but this was my first visit to Sefa Utaki. The guide was experienced and knowledgeable about the area, which was great.

沖縄から本土に帰る日に利用。コンパクトなツアーで那覇空港まで送って頂くコース。沖縄には何度も行っているが，斎場御嶽は，この機会で始めて訪問。ガイドさんもベテランで現地に詳しく良かった。

The water buffalo was cute, and I was healed by the relaxing time. Also, it was great to see many fish while on the glass-bottom boat.

水牛可愛くてのんびりとした時間に癒されました。
また、グラスボートもたくさんのお魚が見れて良かったです。

I was very satisfied as I was able to efficiently secure just the right amount of sightseeing time and visit various places! The guide was also very polite and kind. I thought it was wonderful that the guide provided individual explanations about the meeting time to the foreign participants.

効率よくちょうどいい観光時間も確保して、色々回れて大満足です！
ガイドさんもとても丁寧で親切でした。
外国人の参加者のかたにも、ガイドさんが個別に集合時間などの説明をされていたのが、とても素晴らしいと思いました。
