All Reviews for Bus Tours

It was right in the middle of the rainy season, but fortunately, it was sunny. We took a bus tour that included Seifa Utaki, Maebaru Beach, and the Himeyuri Monument. Thanks to our guide's stories, we were able to learn about Okinawa's history, and it was a very satisfying half-day tour. I definitely want to go again.

梅雨の真っ只中でしたが、幸いにも晴れ、
せいふぁーうたき、みーばるビーチ選択、ひめゆりの塔を巡るバスツアー。ガイドさんのお話から沖縄の歴史にも触れることができ、大満足の半日ツアーでした。是非また行きたいと思います。

I was unsure how to spend my last day, so I joined this tour. Even though it was a short time, I was taken to various places, and the cost performance was excellent! I highly recommend this tour for those who do not have a rental car.

最終日の時間の過ごし方を悩んでいてこちらのツアーに参加しました。
短い時間ながらも色々と連れて行っていただき、コスパ最高！
レンタカーを借りていない人だったら是非おすすめしたいツアーです

At this price, it was a great deal as I got to go to various places. It's perfect for the day of return and the tour. I was torn between choosing the Ryukyu Kingdom and Miibaru Beach, but since I was tired, I opted for the beach and went to a café by the shore. I found many hermit crabs, and it was incredibly beautiful and soothing.

このお値段で、いろいろ連れて行ってもらえたのでお得です。
帰りの日とツアーにもってこいです。
琉球王国とみーばるビーチの選択に迷ったのですが、疲れていたのでビーチを選んで浜辺のカフェに行きました。
ヤドカリをたくさん見つけたり、
すごく綺麗で癒されました。

The guides are friendly and helpful. Very informative about the great sites of Tokyo. Many attraction and stops. It's just not easy to navigate between different lines once a tour is over

The day after participating, I took a local bus from Chatan to Ryukyu Village. Even from Chatan, I felt it was somewhat troublesome (I was worried about whether I could get a seat, I had a lot of luggage, and I mistakenly paid the fare because I wasn't sure how to do it), so I truly appreciated the comfort of having a reserved seat and the detailed guidance from the bus guide.

I felt that my time at the Churaumi Aquarium was a bit short, but I was able to relax in front of the whale shark tank and also see the dolphin show, so I think I hit the main points.

- Unfortunately, it was pouring rain! I didn't have an umbrella, but they lent me a plastic one. Thank you!
- Since I ultimately wanted to go to Chatan, I got off at Ryukyu Village. The driver even checked the bus schedule for me. Thank you!
- The bus guide was cute. At one point, she changed outfits and sang and danced for us. So cute...

参加翌日、宿泊していた北谷から琉球村までローカルバスで行きましたが、北谷からでさえ若干めんどうくさい（座れるか不安だったし、大荷物だし、料金の支払い方がよくわからず間違えました）と感じたので、席がちゃんと用意されていて、バスガイドさんの丁寧なガイド付きで移動できるありがたさを余計に実感しました。
ちゅらうみ水族館での滞在時間がやや短いなと感じましたが、ジンベエザメの水槽でぼんやりできて、イルカショーも見られたので、ポイントはおさえられたと思います。
・あいにくの土砂降り！で傘も持っていなかったのですが、ビニール傘を貸していただけました。ありがとうございます！
・最終的に北谷に行きたかったので、琉球村で離団させていただきました。運転手さんがバスの時間も調べてくれた。ありがとうございます！
・バスガイドのお姉さんが可愛かった。途中、お着替えして歌って踊ってくれました。かわいい…。

I was able to enjoy Taketomi Island without wasting time or money. I didn't have any particular troubles or confusion. I participated while pregnant, but the glass-bottom boat, water buffalo, and bus tour were all completely fine. If there are any pregnant women considering this, I highly recommend it, as the activities available on Ishigaki Island are limited.

無駄なくお得に竹富島を楽しめました。
迷う事や困った事は特にありませんでした。
妊娠中の参加でしたがグラスボード、水牛、バス観光。全く問題ありませんでした。
妊婦さんで検討されている方がいらしたら石垣島で楽しめるアクティビティは限られているので是非オススメです。

As someone who visited Okinawa for the first time, I found the guide's explanations to be very good, and I had a great time. At the aquarium, I was able to enjoy the dolphin show and the Kuroshio experience, which was a bit hectic, but I was satisfied. I didn't have high expectations for the soba, but it was delicious.

初めて沖縄に行った私にとってはガイドさんの説明もよく、とても楽しめました。水族館でもイルカショーと黒潮体験も出来てバタバタとしましたが、満足しました。おそばの方も期待していなかったのですが、美味しかったです。

I often come to Okinawa for work, but I recently had the chance to do some sightseeing. Although I visited the usual spots, considering the entrance fees and the cost of renting a car, it was very affordable and I had a great time exploring.

沖縄にはよく仕事で来るのですが久しぶりに観光しました。定番の所でしたが入場料やレンタカーを借りる思いをすれば非常にお手軽で楽しく回らせていただきました。

I had planned to do some things in the morning, but I could only do them in the afternoon. I had originally signed up for the 14:45 water buffalo cart course, but I was able to change it to the 8:40 course at the counter on the day, which was a great help.

The water buffalo cart had a charming atmosphere and was very soothing. After that, I toured the island with a rental bicycle for 300 yen per hour, and I was satisfied with just the morning.

However, it was disappointing that the boat I wanted to take was operated by a different company, so I had to wait for almost an hour.

午前中にしたかった事が午後からしかできなくなり、14:45の水牛車コースに申し込んでいたのに当日カウンターで8:40のコースに変えていただき、助かりました。

水牛車は風情があり、とても癒されました。
そのあと一時間300円のレンタサイクルで島内を観光し、午前中だけで満足できました。

ただ、乗りたかった船の便が別の会社のものだったそうで、一時間弱待たないといけなかったのが残念でした。

I took a one-night, two-day trip to Okinawa from Aichi with the goal of shopping at the duty-free store. However, on the second day, I felt it would be a waste to sleep in too late, so I signed up the day before for the tour★

Since I was participating alone, I was a bit anxious, but the bus guide provided clear explanations about what we could see from the bus windows and shared interesting information about Okinawa's history, making the time on the bus very enjoyable☆

The stay at each point was a bit short, but I was more than satisfied with the experience and thoroughly enjoyed my time in Okinawa☆

免税店での買い物目当てに、愛知から1泊2日の沖縄旅でしたが、2日目は遅くまで寝て居たら勿体無い気がして、参加希望日前日に申し込みしました★

1人参加だったので、少し不安がありましたが、バスガイドさんが車窓から見える物の紹介や沖縄の歴史等とても分かり易く話してくれたので、バス車内も充実して過ごせました☆

各ポイントの滞在時間は短めですが、お値段以上の満足度で沖縄満喫出来ました☆

I was able to slowly enjoy the beautiful streets of Taketomi Island. Since all the transportation was arranged for me, it became a very fulfilling trip.

竹富島の美しい街並みをゆっくりと楽しむことができました。移動もすべて手配いただいたため、とても充実した旅になりました。

The day I participated, it was quite windy, and there was a chance of rain, but I was relieved that it stayed cloudy during the ride. I imagined that if it rained, it would be like a regular bus, but there was an announcement saying, "We will lend you raincoats in case of rain," which made me realize that the charm of the open-top bus wouldn't be diminished even in the rain.

Once on the bus, my viewpoint was incredibly high, almost as if I could reach the traffic lights and street trees. It’s a very noticeable bus, so I felt a bit embarrassed before getting on, but in reality, since my perspective was different from the people walking on the street, I didn't mind at all. Near the National Diet Building, the bus guides leading school trips and shopkeepers along the road waved at us, which was heartwarming.

I often visit Omotesando and Shibuya, but the view from the top of the bus was completely different. Additionally, the guide provided detailed explanations, so I found myself saying "Wow, I didn't know that!" many times during the ride, and I was never bored! It seems there are courses that go to places like the Rainbow Bridge, so I would like to participate again next time with a different destination and time.

自分が参加した日は風が強く、雨の心配もあったのですが、乗車中はどうにか曇りのままでホッとしました。もし雨が降ったら、普通のバスみたいになるのかな？と想像していましたが、「雨が降った場合はレインコートを貸し出します」というアナウンスがあり、雨の場合もオープントップの魅力は損なわれないんだな～と感心しました。
バスに乗ると、目線がものすごく高くなり、信号機や街路樹に手が届きそうなくらいです。目立つバスなので、乗る前は少し恥ずかしいと思っていましたが、実際は街を歩く人たちと目線が違うので全く気になりませんでした。国会議事堂の近くで修学旅行生を引率しているバスガイドさんたちや、道路沿いのショップの方が手を振ったりしてくれて、そんなところにもほっこりしました。
表参道や渋谷はよく行く場所ではありますが、バスの上からでは全く景色が違います。加えて、ガイドさんが詳しい解説をしてくれるので、乗っている間「へぇ～そうなんだ～」と思うことが多く全く飽きませんでした！レインボーブリッジなどに行くコースもあるようなので、今度はまた行き先や時間を変えて参加してみたいと思います。

There are so many temples in Kyoto but this tour took us to the 3 temples I wanted to see and the guide also pointed out all the temples along the way from the bus. It was just enough stops to maintain my 13 year old daughter's interest without getting bored. Audio headset for English and other languages were only used in the bus so we couldn't understand the guide's explanation at all the stops, which was disappointing to us and the rest of the non-Japanese speaking people on our tour. The time spent at each stop was perfect with enough time to quickly browse through the shops and try popular snacks sold near the temples. We received small omiyage or souvenirs from each temple which was a nice surprise! Although it's a ways down a lot of steps, you should take the time to drink the water flowing down 3 channels to a fountain at Kiyomizudera. They say it has wish granting powers for love, academic success and longevity. This was a great tour but would've been perfect if it was in English!

The children enjoyed it, and it was great since it's quite far to go by car. I hope to have the opportunity again.

子供達も楽しんでくれて、なかなか車でいこうにも遠いので、よかったです。
また機会があればよろしくお願いします。

Although I was worried about the weather during the rainy season, it was sunny the whole time! I chose the three-island tour thinking my elementary school-aged children would enjoy it, and they were thrilled without getting bored thanks to the smooth flow of the tour. If I had to say something, the mangroves had a similar scenery, which seemed to bore them a bit in the second half, but they were very happy with the water buffalo and collecting star sand. I felt that lunch was a bit simple. Since the children had the same menu, I think they would have been happier if there were options like a children's lunch. On Taketomi Island, we only saw Kondoi Beach from the bus, so I wanted to go into the sea, but I was satisfied with the combination since I also booked the Phantom Island for the next day and got to enjoy the sea then. Thank you very much!

梅雨時期で天気が不安でしたが、ずっと晴れました☆小学生の子供が喜ぶだろうと３島めぐりを選んだのですが、スムーズな流れに子供達は飽きる事なく喜びました☆しいて言えばマングローブが同じ景色ばかりで後半飽きていた様ですが、水牛も星の砂拾いも大喜びでした☆お昼ご飯は少し質素に感じました。子供も同じメニューだったので、お子様ランチなど作って頂けると喜ぶと思いました。竹富島ではコンドイビーチをバスから見ただけだったので、海に入りたいとも思ったのですが、今回は次の日に幻の島も予約して海も入れたので、組み合わせとしては正解だったなと満足しております☆有難うございました。

Since it was the first pickup, I hurriedly grabbed some food from the buffet. More than that, soaking in the morning bath might be my biggest regret. I also regret having to call the guide, Mayumi Uehara. I apologize for any concern I caused. Thank you for your help. I hope you were feeling well.

ピックアップが最初なので、バイキングも慌てて取りました。それよりも、朝風呂に浸かったのが１番の反省文2枚コースかも知れません。ガイドの上原 マユミ さんに電話をかけさせてしまったことも反省しています。ご心配をおかけしました。お世話になりました。体調は良かったでしょうか？

모든 입장료가 포함이고 특히 츄라우미수족관입장료가 무료라 다른 관광버스 투어보다 좋았습니다

또한 호텔픽업까지 무료!! 최고의 조건과 최고의 가격으로 완변한 하루일정을 보냈습니다!!

마지막으로 특별한 선물과 무료식사(소바) 그리고 디져트까지 여러가지로 얻어가는 기분이라 강력하게 추천합니다! 한가지 참고는 리잔씨파크호텔에 숙소를 예약하신분은 영어표기가 잘못되어 있습니다 Regency Park Hotel 라고 되어있어 잘못된표기지만 안심하시고 예약하세요 픽업하러 옵니다^^

I had been interested in the open-top red bus for a while and thought I would ride it someday. Wanting to have an interesting experience with my friends, I made a reservation this time.

You can choose to exchange your tickets either near Tokyo Skytree or Tokyo Station. We opted for Tokyo Station. The one-day ticket allows you to choose from three courses: Roppongi Course, Odaiba Course, and Asakusa Course. We initially chose the Odaiba Course because we thought the views would be beautiful.

Once we boarded, I was surprised by the height of the bus. It departs from Marunouchi, and the various buildings I usually see looked completely different from up high. It's amazing how much your perspective changes with height.

There was a lot of greenery and beautiful buildings, and I felt proud to be living in such a beautiful city. The bus headed towards the bay area, and surprisingly, it even went onto the expressway! I was a bit nervous about that.

It was a very sunny day, so the views of Odaiba were stunning. About 60% of the passengers were from overseas, and when Odaiba came into view, everyone cheered! We also passed by the Rainbow Bridge!

After that, we had lunch in Odaiba and returned to Marunouchi to join the Asakusa Course. Unlike the Odaiba Course, there weren't many scenic views, but we went under elevated tracks multiple times, which felt like an attraction.

At first, I thought I might get bored quickly, but it was so much fun that I didn't want to go back at all. Next time, I plan to dress warmly! I want to ride again!

前々から、オープントップの赤いバスが気になっており、いつか乗ろうと思ってました。友達と何か面白い体験をしたいと思い、今回予約しました。
チケット交換所は、スカイツリーか東京駅近くかで選べます。
私たちは東京駅からにしました。一日券は3コースから選べます。六本木コース、お台場コース、浅草コース。私達は景色がキレイそうという理由で、はじめはお台場コースに。乗車してバスの高さにびっくり。初めは丸の内から出発ですが、いつも見るいろんなビルが違うビルに見えてびっくり。高さでこんなにも見方な変わるのですね。
緑が多くて、キレイな建物がいっぱいで、私はこんなキレイな都市に住んでいたのかと誇らしくなりました。
湾岸の方に向かうバス。なんとこのバス首都高にもこのまま乗ります。ちょっとドキドキでした。
すごく晴れていた日だったので、お台場の景色がキレイに見えます。乗客は6割くらいは海外からの方でしたが、お台場がきれいに見えた瞬間わ皆さん歓声があがりました！レインボーブリッジも通りますよん！
その後私たちはお台場でランチしてまた丸の内まで戻り、浅草コースに参加しました！
お台場コースと違い、景色に花はないですが、高架下を何回も通るのでアトラクションみたいな気分を味わえました。
初めはすぐ飽きちゃうかなと思ったのですが、すごく楽しく、寒全然帰りたくありませんでした。
今度は厚着して挑もうと思います！また乗りたいです！

You can efficiently visit the tourist spots in the southern region, and it will take you all the way to the airport at the end. During the bus ride, the guide will talk about Okinawa. Although it was rainy at the Seifa Utaki, the atmosphere was nice. It's a good idea to visit the museum at the Himeyuri Monument. From the Mie Castle behind the Loisir Hotel, the view of the patrol boats and other vessels is great.

南部の観光地を効率的に回ることが出来て最後空港まで行ってくれます。バス移動中は沖縄についてガイドさんが話してくれます。斎場御嶽は雨でしたが雰囲気は良かったです。ひめゆりの塔では資料館には行ったほうがいいです。集合場所のロワジールホテルの裏の三重城からは巡視船などの船が見渡せて眺めがいいです。

Great tour! Would definitely recommend this package as it had everything we wanted to do and see. Bus picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel so it was very convenient. We got lots of fun photos with the giant butterflies at the Butterfly Garden. The Churaumi Aquarium was awesome. Our guide was friendly and helpful and managed to communicate to us via English signs when to get back to the bus and what time we could go see the dolphin show. It really helped that we happened to have a bilingual traveler on our bus and he stepped in to help translate from Japanese to English. Lots of interesting pineapple products to try at Nago Pineapple Park. They gave us a mini cup to sample about 4-5 pineapple wines and you can try their pineapple cakes. On our way home, the tour guide gave everyone a little pineapple ice cream sherbet, very refreshing! Perfect end to an enjoyable day.

I used a low-cost carrier and my flight from Naha Airport was at 1:50 PM. I had done my research and thought I would make it on time, so I participated. However, when I checked with the guide, they said I might be late past 1 PM. I chose Course B and got off halfway to the beach, taking a taxi to Naha Airport, which cost 4,000 yen. I arrived at 12:30 PM. Then, a mishap occurred. I mistakenly took the wrong luggage, and the guide contacted me to say I arrived at Naha Airport at 12:45 PM. What was the point of taking a taxi to Naha Airport? I would have made it in plenty of time. I don't think I would have made a mistake with my luggage either.

LCC利用で帰り13時50分那覇空港発。下調べ済みで時間に間に合うはずと参加。しかしガイドさんに確認すると13時過ぎてしまうかもしれませんと。Bコース選択してビーチより途中下車しタクシーで那覇空港まで4000円かかりました。12時半に着きました。ここでハプニング。荷物を間違えてしまいガイドさんから連絡が着て那覇空港に着いた時間が12時45分。何の為にタクシーで那覇空港まで来たのでしょか？十分に間に合いました。荷物も間違える事も無かったと思います。

I finally rode the bright red double-decker bus that I've been curious about while walking around Ginza!

It's Japan's first open-top double-decker bus, the Sky Bus, on the Omotesando and Shibuya route.

I got to see the scenery that I usually pass by on foot or while riding the train from the height of the expressway and pedestrian bridges.

Fortunately, it was a sunny day, and I enjoyed the refreshing breeze while sightseeing from the bus, feeling like a foreign tourist.

Starting from Marunouchi, we passed by the red brick Tokyo Station, the Imperial Theatre, and around the Imperial Palace. We also saw the National Diet Building, the State Guest House, Gakushuin Primary School, and the Akasaka Palace, which I visited on a school trip.

We went by Sakurada Gate, Jingu Gaien, the Metropolitan Police Department, the Prime Minister's Official Residence, Toyokawa Inari, and Hie Shrine, which is the only shrine in Japan with an escalator. The reason why the windows of the Honda headquarters building are recessed is also interesting.

From the most famous scramble crossing in Japan to 109, Omotesando Hills, AO, the United Nations University, and the closed Children's Castle... even places I usually pass by revealed different discoveries when viewed from the Sky Bus.

普段、銀座界隈を歩いていて気になっていた真っ赤な二階建てバス。
初めて乗って来ました！

日本初のオープン二階建てバス、スカイバスで表参道・渋谷コース。

いつもは歩いて通るか電車に乗って眺めている景色を、首都高や歩道橋スレスレの高さから観てきました。

運良く晴れて爽やかな風を受けながらの車上観光で、外国人観光客気分。

丸の内から出発して、赤煉瓦の東京駅、帝国劇場前を通り皇居周辺。
社会科見学で行った国会議事堂、迎賓館に学習院初等科と赤坂御所。

桜田門や神宮外苑、警視庁、首相官邸に豊川稲荷、日本で唯一エスカレーターが敷設されている日枝神社。
ホンダ本社ビルの窓ガラスが奥まっている理由も面白い。

日本一有名なスクランブル交差点に109、表参道ヒルズやAO、国連大学に閉館したこどもの城…普段通るところも、スカイバスから観ると、また違った発見があるのでした(^ー^*)

It was his birthday, so even though I live in Tokyo, I participated to experience an atmosphere I usually can't! It was even more fun than I expected, and I truly enjoyed the views of Tokyo that I don't usually see. The night view of Odaiba was especially romantic! I definitely want to participate again! It was a lot of fun!!!

彼の誕生日だったので東京在住ですが、普段味わえない雰囲気を！とゆうことで参加しました(^^)
思った以上に楽しくていつも見られない東京の景色が堪能できて本当によかったです(^^)特に夜のお台場はロマンチックでした！！これはまた参加したい！楽しかったです(^^)！！！

I used it on the day I was leaving. They take you to the airport, and you can leave your luggage on the bus, so it was nice to be able to sightsee hands-free. Plus, they took us to three places for just 1,400 yen! It's incredibly cheap. Highly recommended!

帰る日に利用しました。
空港まで送ってもらえるし、荷物はバスに預けておけるので手ぶらで観光が出来て楽でした。
しかも三ヵ所回ってくれて1400円！安過ぎます。
超オススメです。

As a beginner in island tourism, I was glad to be able to visit many islands in a short amount of time. Although I struggled to pass the time due to the long stay on Yufu Island, the conversations and performances from the bus and water buffalo cart guides were enjoyable, and I had a great day.

離島観光の初心者だったので、短時間で沢山の島を観光出来て良かったです。
由布島での滞在時間が長すぎて時間を潰すのに苦労しましたが、バスや水牛車のガイドさんのお喋りや演奏も楽しく、良い１日を過ごせました。

It was the course as described. I had made a reservation for another day, but I decided to go two days prior and went to the counter at the remote island terminal. They smoothly changed my reservation. I had only planned to use the water buffalo cart, but I was able to rent a bicycle for just a few hundred yen more, which expanded my range of activities, and I had a great time.

記載通りのコースでした。別日に予約していたのですが、2日前に行こうと思い、離島ターミナルのカウンターへ行きました。予約の変更もスムーズにして頂けました。水牛車のみを予定としておりましたが、レンタサイクルも＋数百円程度で利用出来たため、活動範囲も広がり、とても楽しむことができました。

The weather was unfortunate, but I was able to borrow an umbrella when getting off. Above all, the lunch was delicious! My husband was very satisfied with both the portion size and the taste! I shared with the kids, and I still felt full. It seems that the mozuku seaweed and Okinawa soba became my husband's favorites (laughs). Thanks to our guide's experienced guidance, the half day flew by—I’m really glad I participated! ♪

あいにくの天気でしたが下車の際には傘もかしていただけました
何よりランチがおいしい！主人もボリュームと味に大満足していました！私は子供とシェアしたのですがそれでもお腹いっぱいになりました。もずくと沖縄そばが主人のイチオシになったようです(笑)
ガイドさんのベテラン案内で半日があっという間でしたー、本当に参加して大満足です♪

When we departed from Ishigaki Island, we arrived at the ferry terminal too early, but thanks to being able to board an earlier boat (departing at 8:40), we were able to enjoy sightseeing at a leisurely pace. A bus was waiting at the port, and we arrived at the water buffalo cart boarding area in about five minutes. I was impressed by the intelligence of the water buffalo. I was amazed by how the boatman controlled their speed and maneuvered considering the turning radius. After that, we rented bicycles and first climbed the Nago-mi Tower, which seemed like it would get crowded, and then headed to Nishi Sanchō. After enjoying the picturesque beautiful sea, we had an early lunch to avoid the crowds. Since it gets hot during the day, I think it's best to act early. We returned to Ishigaki Island around 13:30, and we were able to fully enjoy our time.

石垣島から出発時、離島ターミナルに早く着きすぎましたが、一本早い船に乗船できたおかげ(8:40発)でゆっくり観光が出来ました。すぐ港にバスが待機しており、5分ほどで水牛車乗り場に到着しました。感動したのは水牛の賢さ。船頭さんの声かけでスピード、内輪差を考えてのコントロール等にびっくり。そのあとレンタル自転車を借りて、まずは混雑しそうななごみの塔に登り、街並みを眺めながら西桟橋へ。絵に描いたような美しい海を眺めた後、混雑を考慮して早めのランチ。日中は暑くなるので、とにかく早めの行動がいいと思います。13:30位に石垣島へ戻りましたが、充分堪能できました。

The three-island tour felt a bit rushed at first, but I was able to take my time and it was really enjoyable. I highly recommend this course.

３島めぐりは少し慌ただしいかなと思ったけれど、ゆっくり見ることができたとっても楽しかったです。オススメのコースです。

I recommend this for those who want to make efficient use of their time and for those who are visiting the islands for the first time, as it includes lunch. The mangrove cruise in Iriomote Island, the sightseeing on Yufu Island via water buffalo cart, and I chose the water buffalo cart on Taketomi Island, all of which were incredibly fun. I was particularly moved by the mangrove cruise.

効率良くまわれて、お昼のお弁当も付いてるので、時間を有効活用したい人や離島巡りが初めての人にはお勧めです。西表島のマングローブクルーズ、水牛車で渡る由布島観光、竹富島では水牛車を選択しましたが、どれもすごく楽しかったです。特にマングローブクルーズは感動しました。
