All Reviews for Bus Tours

I found a tour just for the Shakotan Peninsula! I signed up immediately. Last year, on the same day, the sightseeing tour at Lake Toya had terrible weather due to a typhoon. This year, it was a complete revenge with the best weather. At Cape Kamui, we could only go as far as the gate that prohibits women due to bear sightings, which was disappointing. But the surrounding scenery was amazing. The lunch was better than I expected. I also recommend the optional sightseeing boat in America since it's a great opportunity. The guide made a lot of announcements, which was nice. It was a fantastic tour with great cost performance, and I even got change from 10,000 yen. I highly recommend it!

積丹半島だけのツアーを探してたらあった！即決申し込みしました。昨年同日の洞爺湖等観光ツアーでは台風で最悪の天候。
今年はリベンジとばかり最高のお天気になりました。神威岬では熊出没情報の為、女人禁制の門までしか行けず残念。でも周りの風景は最高でした。昼食も思っていたよりよかったです。美国でのオプション観光船もせっかくの機会なのでおすすめです。
ガイドさんがたくさんアナウンスしてくださったのも良かったです。一万円でお釣りがきたコスパ最高のツアーでした。
すっごくおすすめです！

During my trip from Honshu to Sapporo, I decided to make a reservation to visit a place I hadn't planned on initially. Although the lavender at Farm Tomita and Shikisai no Oka had already been harvested, the flowers were still beautifully in bloom.

【Positive Points】
- At the lunch venue, you can order wine and other drinks for an additional fee (I heard grape juice is also available).
- While there was no lavender, other flowers were blooming, so you can still enjoy the visit if you're not solely focused on seeing lavender.

【Thoughts】
- There seemed to be a shop at the lunch venue, but for some reason, it was closed.
- Since the destinations are all popular spots, everywhere was quite crowded (there was a long wait for food).
- Most of the time was spent traveling, and gradually, the little children on the bus were getting bored.

本州から札幌まで旅行中、始め予定はしていなかったけれどやはり一度行きたいと思い立ち予約。
ファーム富田も四季彩の丘も、ラベンダーはもう刈り取られた後でしたが綺麗にお花は咲いていました。

【良かった点】
・昼食会場は別料金を払えばワインなども頼める(ぶどうジュースもあるそうです)
・ラベンダーは無いけれど、花自体は咲いているので絶対ラベンダーを見たいというわけでなければ楽しめる


【思った事】
・昼食会場に売店があるようだが、なぜか開いていなかった
・行き先が人気がある場所ばかりのため、どこも混雑が酷い(その場で食べるもの系はだいぶ並びます)
・大半が移動のため、バスの中でだんだん小さなお子様が飽きてしまっていて来ていた

It was my first tour, but I was able to go to various places without wasting time, which was great! The guide was also good! I wish I had a bit more time for souvenirs, but I guess this is how it is. I would like to use this service again!

ツアーは初めてでしたが無駄なく色々行けたのでよかった！
ガイドさんも良かった！
お土産の時間もう少し欲しかったけどこんなものかな。また利用したいです！

I could only go partway to Cape Kamoi because bears were spotted there. I can only think that I was unlucky, but it's a shame I couldn't see the whole thing.

神威岬では熊が出没したとのことで、途中までしか行けませんでした。運が悪かったと思うしかないけど、全体が見られなくて残念でした。

It was a very helpful tour that allowed me to visit major spots by bus (and listen to historical guides through earphones) since I can't drive. However, my enjoyment was greatly diminished due to a family sitting behind me. Their young child (presumably preschool age) was very energetic, and their loud conversations and singing made the atmosphere quite noisy. Despite my request to close the curtains because the sunlight was blinding, it was ignored, making the car environment far from comfortable.

I was also irritable due to fatigue from consecutive travel days, so I acknowledge my part in that. However, since the bus was full and I couldn't change seats, it felt like a test of patience. If there were tours designed for families that encourage lively conversations and fun, as well as tours that maintain a certain level of decorum for those who want a more peaceful experience, I would definitely consider participating again if the bus environment could be more secure and comfortable.

車を運転できないのでバスで行きたいと思っていた主要箇所を回れる（かつ、イヤホンで歴史などのガイドも聞ける）とてもありがたいツアーでした。
ただ、後ろに乗ってたファミリーのお陰で楽しさは激減でした…未就学児（推定）のお子様が非常に元気で会話やお歌の声がとても大きいことに加え、日光が眩しいからカーテンを閉めて欲しいと依頼しても無視で車内環境はうるさい・眩しいで快適とは程遠かったです。
連日の旅で疲れてたのもありイライラしてしまった私も悪いですが、満席で席が変えられず車中はひたすら我慢大会でしたので、子供が楽しく会話できる賑やか歓迎のファミリー向けツアー、車内をある程度のマナーをもって過ごしたい人向けツアーなどで車内治安が守られ安心して参加できそうであればぜひ次の参加も検討したいです。

On the bus, I listened to explanations about the history and characteristics of the places we visited and passed through while wearing earphones. I learned a lot of new things!

Unfortunately, at Farm Tomita, the lavender season had ended, so it had already been harvested, but the other flowers were incredibly beautiful and enjoyable!

The Blue Pond was extremely crowded, and we got caught in a bit of traffic before the bus reached the parking lot, which delayed our arrival. However, once we got in, we were able to walk around smoothly and see everything properly. The colors were really beautiful!

Personally, I found Shikisai no Oka to be absolutely amazing, and I definitely want to come back. The views were great from everywhere! The flower fields were beautiful, and the green mountains and fields visible beyond the flower fields created a stunning landscape. Although there were many people, the area was very spacious, so it didn't feel crowded. I hope to ride the tractor and helicopter that I had to give up due to time constraints someday…

The alpaca farm on the premises is also incredibly cute, so I recommend it.

I was a bit worried that the bus tour of popular tourist spots in Hokkaido might have a lot of inbound tourists with poor manners, especially since it was during the Obon holiday. However, in reality, that wasn't the case at all; it felt like about 80% Japanese and 20% foreigners, and everyone, including the foreigners, had good manners, which was reassuring. There were hardly any people who were late for the bus meeting times at each spot (if there were, it was only about 3 minutes late), so I was glad to see that everyone was quite punctual.

バスの中では、イヤホンをつけてバスツアーで訪れる場所、通る場所の歴史や特色に関する説明を聞きました。知らないことばかりで勉強になりました〜

ファーム富田は残念ながらラベンダーの時期は終わってたので刈り取られちゃってましたが、それ以外のお花がすごく綺麗で楽しめました！

青い池は人がめちゃくちゃ多くて、バスが駐車場に着くまでにちょっと渋滞に巻き込まれて到着が遅れてしまいましたが、入ってみたら意外とすいすい歩けてちゃんと見られました。色がすごく綺麗でした〜

個人的には四季彩の丘がめちゃくちゃ良くて、また絶対来たいと思いました。どこにいても眺めが良い！花畑が綺麗なのはもちろん、花畑の向こうに見える山とか畑？の緑も含めてすごく綺麗な風景でした。人多かったですが、敷地内もすごく広々としているのでゴミゴミしてる感じはなかったです。時間の関係で諦めたトラクターもヘリコプターもいつか乗ってみたい…
敷地内にあるアルパカ牧場もめちゃくちゃかわいいのでおすすめです。

北海道の人気観光地のバスツアーって、インバウンド客がたくさんいてマナーが悪かったりするんだろうか…しかもお盆の時期だし、と若干心配でしたが、実際はそんなことはなく8割日本人2割外国人？くらいの感じで外国人の方も含めて皆さんマナー良い方ばかりで安心しました。
各訪問スポットでのバス集合時間に遅れる人もほとんどおらず(いても3分遅れくらい)ちゃんとしてる人ばかりでよかった〜と思いました。

The bus takes you around the main attractions, making it easy for seniors like me to enjoy sightseeing. Most of the participants were foreigners, but I made friends with one who started talking to me. However, there were some places where we had to walk quite a bit, which was challenging. Overall, I’m glad I participated.

バスで主要な場所を回ってくれるので私のようなおばあちゃんシニアも楽に観光できる。
ほとんど外国人ぱかりだったが、一緒に参加した外国人が話しかけてきて友だちになった。
ただ、途中結構歩くのが大変な場所もあった。
総じて参加して良かった

The guide and the driver were very kind, and I was able to enjoy a fun day of sightseeing. I was worried, but the weather was nice and very beautiful. Although the general public had to wait for lunch, I was able to get in right away and the food was very delicious.

ガイドさんや運転手さんがとても親切で一日中楽しい観光が出来ました。
心配していましたが、お天気も良くてとても綺麗でした。
お昼も一般の方は待っていましたが、直ぐに入ってお食事できてとても美味しかったです。

I had a great time visiting places I had never been to before. I was impressed by the guide, as there were mostly foreign visitors. I was surprised to learn that Stonehenge and the Moai statues are located near the Great Buddha. The food court at the outer market wasn't too crowded, so I was able to eat at a leisurely pace.

行ったことのない場所ばかりで楽しかったです。外国の方ばかりでガイドさんが凄いなって思いました。頭大仏の場所にストーンヘッジやモアイ像があるのを知らなかったので驚きました。場外市場の食堂はそんなに混んでいなくてゆっくり食べられました。

The dinosaur museum was very crowded during the summer vacation and the long three-day weekend, but as expected with tourist buses, we were able to enter smoothly. We also had plenty of time to explore, which was satisfying. Although it was disappointing that Hiraizumi Temple was rainy, I thought I would like to visit the moss temple again for its atmosphere. The guide's explanations were enjoyable, and we had a great time.

恐竜博物館は夏休みな上三連休でとても混んでいたがさすが観光バスなのでスムーズに入場できた。また見学時間もたっぷりあり満足できた。平泉寺も雨で残念だったが雰囲気のある苔寺でもう一度行きたいと思った。
ガイドさんの説明も楽しく良い時間を過ごせた。

It was a convenient tour that allowed us to easily enjoy popular spots in Furano and Biei! The guide was great with the audio guide, making it very accessible.

The cheese fondue and hamburgers at Furano Wine House were incredibly delicious, and I definitely want to go back for more. The only downside was that the souvenir shop was closed, and I couldn't purchase the wine that isn't available online, which was disappointing. However, I want to keep that as something to look forward to for my next visit!

Also, the bus in the summer was very hot, even with the air conditioning, when the sun was shining. 💦

富良野、美瑛の人気スポットを手軽に楽しめるツアーでした！ガイドも音声ガイドで手軽で申し分なかったです。
特にふらのワインハウスのチーズフォンデュ、ハンバーグは大変美味でまた食べに行きたいと思います。唯一、お土産やさんが閉まっていてオンライン販売をしていないワインを購入出来ず残念でしたがまた行く楽しみとして残しておきたいなと思います！
あと夏のバスは日が照る方はクーラーあってもとても暑かったです💦

During the Obon holiday, my spouse and I participated in a half-day tour, visiting the Dinosaur Museum and Hakusan Heisenji. Normally, we would have to drive ourselves and arrange tickets, but with the tour, we were taken directly to the locations, eliminating that hassle! Especially at the Dinosaur Museum, it was quite crowded that day, but we were able to enter smoothly through a separate entrance for groups, avoiding the long lines.

Hakusan Heisenji featured a fantastical moss-covered approach lined with towering cedar trees. It was an experience that we couldn't normally have, and it naturally instilled a sense of reverence in us.

Additionally, during the journey, our guide from Fukui provided explanations using flip charts and other materials, allowing us to learn about various aspects of Fukui's culture, which I believe adds significant value compared to sightseeing on our own.

This tour is highly recommended as it allows for efficient travel while having an enjoyable time.

お盆休みに夫婦で半日コースに参加し、恐竜博物館と白山平泉寺を回りました。
通常であれば、自ら車を運転したり、チケットの手配も行わなければならないですが、ツアーで現地まで連れて行ってもらえるのでその煩わしさはありません！特に恐竜博物館では、当日はかなり混雑していた中、団体として別の入り口から通していただくことができたので、行列に並ぶことなくスムーズに入場できました。
平泉寺は高くそびえ立つ杉の木が続く、苔むされた参道が大変幻想的でした。普段では味わうことができない体験となり、自然と厳かな気持ちになりました。
さらに移動中は、福井在住のガイドさんがフリップなども使いながら説明をしてくださり、衣食住さまざまさ福井の文化も知ることができるので、個人で観光するのに比べて付加価値が高いと思います。
効率よく移動しながら、楽しく過ごすことができるのでおすすめのツアーです。

I had a comfortable ride on the new bus, which even had USB outlets. Most importantly, the guide shared various stories throughout the journey, making it both enjoyable and educational. We received a map of the zoo, and the guide provided detailed instructions on how to navigate, so we were able to explore smoothly without getting lost. Since it was a day with fewer group visitors, we could enjoy everything at a leisurely pace, and the three-hour stay was just right. Additionally, I was very grateful for the recommendations for dinner spots in Sapporo.

新車のバスに乗せていただいて快適でした。USBのコンセントもついていました。
何よりも、ガイドさんが車中ずっと色々な話をしてくださったので、退屈もせずとても勉強になりました。
動物園のマップもいただけて、回り方なども詳しく教えてくださったので迷うことなくスムーズに回れました。
団体客が少ない日だったのでどこもゆったりと見ることが出来て、約3時間の滞在はちょうど良かったです。
また、札幌での夕食場所も教えていただけてとても助かりました。

I visited with my daughter and mother, three generations together. It was the height of summer and very hot, but there were mists, distribution of cooling sheets (three per pack), and fans provided, which helped me manage the heat with my own parka and hat. The tour was from the car, but they slowed down so we could see everything. It felt very open, and I think it would be really pleasant if you choose the right season.

娘と母の三世代で利用させていただきました。
真夏でとても暑かったですが、ミストが出ていたり、冷却シート（3枚入り）の配布、うちわが備え付けられており、自分のパーカーと帽子で何とか暑さを凌げました。
ツアー内容は車からですがスピードを落としてくださり、見ることができました。
開放的で季節を選べばとても気持ちが良いと思いました。

The bus guide's explanations were interesting, and I enjoyed both the land and water experiences! The good environment of Koto Ward was also impressive. I recommend it!

バスガイドの方の説明が面白く、水陸両方で楽しめました！
江東区の環境の良さも印象的でした。
おすすめです！

I participated because it was appealing to efficiently visit the main tourist spots. During the bus ride, I was able to hear a wide range of interesting stories from the guide about the history, legends, culture, and industries of Ishigaki Island, as well as trendy spots and souvenir information that would be difficult to reach on my own. Towards the end, the guide's singing of Yaeyama folk songs, including "Tears Are Falling," was also wonderful. I was moved.

主な観光地を効率よく周れるのが魅力で参加しました。バス乗車中は石垣島の歴史や言い伝え、文化、産業の他、流行りのスポット、お土産情報まで、幅広く、自力でリーチ難しいような興味深いお話をガイドさんから聞けましたし、終盤にガイドさんの歌う八重山の民謡も涙そうそうも良かったです。感動しました。

I'm going to see the lavender, but it's a shame that it has already been harvested. The time to enjoy each tourist spot is short; I mostly took photos and didn't have much time to enjoy the scenery.

ラベンダー見に行きますが、既に狩られたのは残念でした。各観光地に貯まる時期は短い、ほぼ写真を撮って、余り風景を見る時間がなかった。

I went on my first trip to Fukui with my high school student. Since we didn't plan to rent a car and wanted to visit Hakusan Shrine, we were able to get around efficiently. There was no need to reserve tickets, and we could enter right away in the morning without waiting. Additionally, the car was filled with sightseeing information, history, and souvenir details that we couldn't find online, which made us very satisfied.

高校生の子と初めての福井旅行で行きました。車を借りる予定が無く白山神社にも行きたかったので効率的に回ることが出来ました。チケットの予約の必要もなく朝一で待ちなく入れました。また車内では観光情報、歴史やお土産の情報などネットでは得られない情報が満載で大満足です。

The scent of lavender was very relaxing. There were many other flowers blooming as well, and they were very beautiful.

ラベンダーの匂いがしてとても、
リラックスできました。ラベンダー以外にもいろんな花が咲いていてとても綺麗でした。

The weather was favorable, and I was able to enjoy the most beautiful scenery. There were about equal numbers of foreigners and Japanese people. The tour proceeded on time. I felt that the two hours of free time in Takayama was a bit short. If you try to see all the recommended spots, there isn't enough time to leisurely look at souvenirs. The guide was not Japanese, but was fluent in both Japanese and English, and was kind and pleasant, which I appreciated. It takes about three hours from Nagoya, and I was able to enjoy the trip without worrying about driving fatigue. I felt that around 7,000 yen during the Obon season was a great deal.

天候にも恵まれ、最高に綺麗な景色を楽しむことができました。
外国の方と日本人は半々くらい。
時刻通りにツアーが進みました。
高山の自由時間が2時間なのは少し短いと感じました。お勧めされたところを全て見ようとすると、ゆっくりお土産を見たりする時間はありませんでした。
ガイドの方は日本人ではありませんでしたが、日本語も英語も流暢で、優しくて感じが良くて、ありがたかったです。
名古屋から片道3時間くらい、何も気にせず運転疲れもなく楽しめて、お盆の時期に7,000円前後はとてもお得だと感じました。

Thank you for the tour yesterday. It was a very fulfilling trip to Fukui. Since I traveled by Shinkansen, I was worried about transportation, but participating in the tour resolved that. The guide's explanations were also very good, making it a rewarding trip to Fukui. Thank you very much.

昨日はツァーありがとうございました。
大変充実した福井旅行になりました。
新幹線での旅行でしたので交通手段が悩みでしたが、ツァーに参加することで解消しました。
ガイドさんの説明も大変良く、充実した福井旅行になりました。
ありがとうございました。

As the title suggests, bears appeared, and I couldn't go to the main attraction, Cape Kamui. However, since it was a natural animal, I tried to switch gears and enjoy myself, even though I felt disappointed. Humans cannot win against the threats of nature (bears are really scary), so I made the best of it. It's unfortunate that there were no alternative options, but I suppose there aren't many highlights in that area.

I was glad to see the Shakotan Blue at Shimamu Coast. Also, it was fun to cruise the sea on the New Shakotan. Feeding the seagulls was a lot of fun and a great experience. I seriously thought about how much I wanted to eat the purple sea urchins that were rolling around. (laughs)

It was nice to be able to view the Nikka Whisky distillery in Yoichi and purchase an apple pie.

This time, I couldn't reach the main attraction, and since the weather forecast predicted rain today, I thought I would see the best scenery, but it ended up being disappointing.

I definitely want to try again next time, but as long as there are bears, the area will be closed whenever they appear, so I hope we can find a good compromise.

表題の通り、熊が出没し、メインの神威岬にいくことは叶いませんでした。
しかし、自然の動物相手なので、残念な気持ちは残りつつも、自然の脅威に人間は勝てない(熊は本当に怖い)ので、切り替えて楽しみました。
代替案がなかったのは残念ですが、あの辺りの見どころは多くないのだろうなと思ったら仕方ないです。

島武意海岸で積丹ブルーを見れたので、よかったです。
また、ニューシャコタン号で海を周遊するのが楽しかったです。
カモメへの餌やりはとても楽しかったですし、いい経験になりました。
また、ムラサキウニがゴロゴロ転がってて、とても食べたい…と本気で思いました。笑

余市でニッカウイスキーの蒸留所を眺められたこと、アップルパイを購入できたのもよかったです。

今回は一番のメインに辿り着けなかった、また天気もここ数日では本日が雨予報だったため、最高の景色が見れると思いましたが、残念な結果に。

また次回、必ずリベンジしたいですが、クマがいる限り、出没のたびに封鎖されてしまうので、なんとかいい折り合いをつけられるといいなと思いました。。

The course content was great, and I participated. Unfortunately, due to the rain, I couldn't enjoy sightseeing as much as I had hoped. It was impressive to see flowers bravely blooming and hear the Japanese bush warbler singing amidst the storm at Cape Kamoi. Along the way, the guide was knowledgeable and provided detailed explanations about the history of Otaru, Yoichi, and Shakotan, as well as place names derived from the Ainu language, which I enjoyed. Thank you very much. I would like to participate again on a sunny day next time.

コース内容が良く、参加しました。あいにくの雨で、満足できる観光はできず残念でした。神威岬で暴風雨のなか、けなげに花が咲いていたり、ウグイスが鳴いていたのが印象的です。道中、ガイドさんか博学で、小樽、余市、積丹の歴史、アイヌ語からできている地名のことなど細かく説明してくださり、楽しめました。ありがとうございました。次回は晴天の時に参加したいです。

The weather was nice, but the heat was a struggle. Given my age, the schedule was tough. The children were happy. We had the experience of mangroves, water buffalo, and the traditional streets of Taketomi Island. I thought it would be nice to experience it slowly during a cooler time rather than in the peak of summer. If I have the time, I would like to experience it again during a cooler season.

天気が良く暑さに苦しみました。年齢的にスケジュールがハードでした。子供達は喜んでいました。マングローブ、水牛、竹富島の昔ながらの街並みの体験をさせていただきました。真夏の体験でなく涼しい時期にゆっくり体験したいと思いました。時間があれば涼しい時期にもう一度体験させていただきたいと思います。

It was so wonderful that I can't express it in words. The rain seemed to welcome us as it cleared up while we were exploring. Next time, I want to book a boat and enjoy the scenery.

言葉に表現できないほど最高でした。
雨も散策する時に晴れて私たち夫婦を歓迎しているようでした。
次回は、船を予約して景色を満喫したいものです。

The tour had about 30 participants, and among them, our family of four was the only Japanese group. Although it was an English and Chinese guided tour, we were also provided with individual guidance in Japanese, which made it very reassuring and allowed us to enjoy the sightseeing without any worries.

外国人混在ツアーで参加人数は30人程度でした。その中で日本人は私達家族4人だけでした。英語・中国語ガイドということでしたが、日本語でも個別に案内いただき何の心配もいらずに観光出来たことが大変有り難かった。

The water buffalo tour was relaxing and enjoyable. The song from the man upon arrival added to the fun. The buffalo were very smart too. You can also take pictures with the buffalo on the island.
The mangrove tour progresses slowly along the river. It's soothing as you see the mangroves and birds.

水牛ツアーは、のんびりゆっくり楽しかった。到着時のおじさんの歌も盛り上げてくれました。牛もとてもお利口でした。島では、水牛と写真も撮れます。
マングローブツアーは、ゆっくり川を進みます。マングローブや鳥などを見ながら癒されます。

It was great to be able to sightsee in Osaka city on an open bus, even though it was a bit hot in the limited time of one hour.

１時間と限られた時間で、少し暑かったですが、大阪市内を開放的なオープンバスで観光できて良かったです。

The guide's explanations were easy to understand and very good. The descriptions of Midosuji in the future, the temple district, and the origins of Tanimachi-suji were also great.

ガイドさんの説明もわかり易く、
とても良かったです。
将来の御堂筋の説明、お寺街、
谷町筋の由来等、良かったです。

The guide's explanations were very easy to understand, and it was a pleasant and very meaningful tour. Thank you very much.

ガイドさんの解説もとても分かりやすく
気持ちよくて　とても有意義なツアーでした　ありがとうございました
