All Reviews for Bus Tours

It was forecasted to rain, but we were able to walk without any rain. Our guide was very knowledgeable, and we had a great time exploring. We even got to see the Japanese macaques, and they were so cute! The driver was also very skilled, navigating the mountain roads smoothly. It was really great.

雨の予報でしたが、降らずに歩けました　　知識豊富なガイドさんで、楽しく回れました。
ヤクザルにも会えてとても可愛いかったです。運転手さんも、とても運転上手な方で　山道だけどスムーズ　とても良かったです。

This was my second tour of the three islands: Iriomote Island, Yubu Island, and Taketomi Island. Unfortunately, we weren't blessed with good weather again, and like last time, it was a cold tour... But to be honest, everyone should go on this tour!!

This time, the bus driver on Iriomote Island was a great storyteller, making the ride really enjoyable. We were laughing a lot. On the other hand, the boatman for the water buffalo cart on Yubu Island, who was very entertaining last time, seemed to be doing a half-hearted job this time, possibly because it was raining, which was disappointing.

I also think there’s room for improvement regarding the lunch we had on Yubu Island. However, the convenience of having hotel pick-up and drop-off, along with the fact that the boat didn’t rock, made it a great experience overall. Above all, I believe this tour is so engaging that you won’t have a moment to feel bored.

2度目の西表島、由布島、竹富島の3島めぐりツアーでした。
今回もお天気には恵まれず、前回同様寒いツアーにはなりましたが・・・
はっきり言ってこれはみなさん行くべきです！！
今回は西表島のバス移動の運転手さんがお話上手でとっても楽しかった。ウケまくりでした。
逆に由布島の水牛車の船頭さん(？)は、前回はとてもお話上手の方の楽しい方だったのですが、今回は雨も降っていたこともあってやっつけ仕事っぽく残念でした。
あとは由布島でいただく昼食も改善の余地があると思います。
ですがホテルへの送迎付きで便利だし船も揺れないし、なにより退屈する暇は無いほど充実しているツアーだと思います。

The morning ferry rocked like a roller coaster, making my heart race with excitement! I was healed by the water buffaloes on Iriomote Island and Yufu Island, enjoyed a fun guide on Taketomi Island while searching for star sand. It was a healing journey!

朝のフェリーは、ジェットコースターなみ揺れて、ハラハラドキドキ！
西表島、由布島の水牛に癒されて、竹富島でガイドさんの楽しいガイドで、星砂探して、
癒される旅でしたー！

For us who are over 70 years old, it was wonderful to enjoy the surroundings of the Imperial Palace without the hassle of walking around! We took the 10:00 bus course and got off in Asakusa. We enjoyed walking along the Sumida River and through the lively streets of Asakusa, as well as a delicious lunch. The cherry blossoms were not yet in full bloom, but we were able to fully enjoy the feeling of hanami (flower viewing).

７０歳を過ぎた私達には
歩いては回るのは大変な皇居の回り等々を
楽して楽しむことが出来最高‼︎
10：00のコースのバスに乗車し浅草で下車。
隅田川沿いや賑やかな浅草の街歩き、
美味しいランチも楽しみました。
桜は満開まではもう少しでしたが、十分お花見気分を味わうことができました。

I came to Kyoto alone and had no plans at all, so I signed up at the last minute. It had been over 30 years since I last visited Kyoto, and I had no sense of direction, so it was great to be able to efficiently visit the famous spots in just one day. My main goal in Kyoto was to collect goshuin (temple stamps), so I chose this course that includes a visit to Fushimi Inari Taisha. There were some places where I had to wait in line to receive the goshuin, which made it a bit rushed, but I was able to visit all the places I wanted to go.

1人京都へ来たものので全くノープランだったので急遽申し込みました。京都はもう30年以上ぶりで土地勘が全くないので1日で名所を効率的に巡ることができるので良かったです。私の京都第一目的は御朱印巡りだったのって伏見稲荷大社を巡ることができるこのコースを選びました．御朱印を貰うのに並ぶため、時間に余裕が無い所もありましたが行きたい所はすべて行けました。

The weather was cloudy and cold, and the cherry blossoms were either in full bloom or had already started to leaf out. Because it was cloudy, I couldn't take my time to enjoy the sakura. I just passed by in the car, and I only saw the famous spots from a distance, so it felt more like a sightseeing tour of Tokyo rather than a cherry blossom viewing experience.

天気も曇りで寒く、桜も満開か葉桜でした。
曇っているのもあるが、
さくらをゆっくり見ることができなかった。車で通り過ぎるだけ、名所も遠くから見るだけだったので、お花見ツアーと言うか、東京観光って感じでした

I participated on April 1st, but the cherry blossoms were already past their peak. I enjoyed the tour as the guide shared various insights about Tokyo, but I think it would be better to join at the end of March next time.

4月１日に参加しましたが、桜は、もうすでに葉桜。
ガイドさんのお話で、東京を色々案内していただいたので、たのしめましたが、次回は、３月の末に参加が良いと思いました。

I was taken to places that are not easy to visit by bus.

Amanoyasugawara
Iwatokami Shrine

I really wanted to see them!

Thank you very much to the bus guide for a wonderful trip.

なかなか行けないところへ、バスで連れて行っていただきました。

天の安河原
岩戸神社

みてみたかった〜。

バスガイドさん楽しい旅どうもありがとうございました。

We were blessed with good weather and had a great time enjoying the ox cart and the guide's folk songs, surrounded by blooming bougainvillea and deigo flowers. The timing was perfect.

お天気にも恵まれ、牛車もガイドさんの民謡も楽しみながら、ブーゲンビリア、デイゴの花も盛りの中、良い時間を過ごせました。時期的に良かったです。

I only had one day, but there were many places I wanted to visit, so I joined this tour. I thoroughly enjoyed Lake Toya, the Silo Observation Deck, and Otaru, among others. The guide's explanations were easy to understand, and I was able to experience a variety of things in a short amount of time. If I have the opportunity again, I would definitely like to do this again.

１日しかなかったが、行きたいところが沢山あり、このツアーに参加しました。
洞爺湖、サイロ展望台、小樽なと、満喫しました。ガイドの説明がわかりやすく、短時間で色々体験ができました。また機会があれば是非お願いしたいです。

Even though it's late March, is it scorching hot in Taketomi Island?! For Tokyoites who are still not used to the heat, riding in a covered water buffalo cart while listening to the guide's stories and the sound of the sanshin was the best experience for a leisurely island tour.

This tour, which includes transportation between Ishigaki Port and Taketomi Port, as well as a shuttle bus and water buffalo cart sightseeing, is a great deal. We took the ferry departing from Ishigaki at 2:30 PM and returning from Taketomi at 5:00 PM, which was just the right timing.

3月下旬とはいえ、竹富島は猛暑？！　まだ暑さに慣れていない東京人にとっては、屋根付きの水牛車に乗って、案内人の話や三線の音色を聞きながらゆっくり島巡りができて最高の経験でした。
石垣港⇔竹富港⇔送迎バス+水牛車観光のこのツアーはおトクです。私達は午後14:30石垣発＆竹富発17:00のフェリーで、時間的にちょうどよかったです。

We participated by splitting into a bus team and a free (bicycle) group. The forecast was cloudy with rain, and there was occasional light rain on Taketomi Island. I brought a raincoat but didn't need to wear it. The sea at Nishi Sanchu Bridge seemed beautiful. To visit all the highlights, you need plenty of time, and the last ferry was at 5 PM.

バスチームとフリー（自転車）に分かれての参加。曇雨予報で竹富島は時々小雨。カッパ持ってったけど着なくて大丈夫でした。西桟橋の海が綺麗だったようです。見どころを全部行くには時間がたっぷり必要で、フェリーは最後の17時でした。

On a day with cloudy and rainy forecasts, the strong winds made the ferry ride to our destination quite bumpy, causing even adults to feel seasick and scared. However, we calmed down during the mangrove tour, enjoyed a ride on an ox cart, and the kids were thrilled to see the large Papilio butterfly and the golden chrysalis at the Yufu Island Butterfly Garden. The bus tour was well-paced with informative explanations, allowing us to efficiently explore the area. It rained while we were on the boat, but elsewhere it was just cloudy, so we managed to have a fun time. It would have been perfect if it had been sunny.

曇雨予報の日、風が強く行きのフェリーが揺れまくり大人も船酔いand怖さで大変でした。その後のマングローブ遊覧で落ち着き、牛車も楽しめ、由布島蝶々園の大きなオオゴマダラと金色のサナギに子供大喜びでした。バスツアーはテンポよく説明もあり効率よく周れました。船中に雨が降りましたが、他はなんとか曇だったので楽しく周れました。晴れなら最高でした。

From the open sky bus, I was able to see the cherry blossoms in full bloom. The guide's commentary was also great. I plan to ride again next time.

オープンスカイバスの上から、満開の桜が見れました。ガイドさんの案内も、良かっです。次回も、乗ろう思います。

The tour was mainly for Chinese participants, but the tour guide was kind and spoke Japanese very well, which was great. It would have been nice to travel to Kamakura individually, but I wanted to ride the Enoden, and it was appreciated that they picked us up by bus. We were the only two Japanese people, so I think it was a bit of a hassle for the guide to provide instructions about the time and meeting place in both Chinese and Japanese. Thank you for your consideration, such as seating us at the very front of the bus!

中国の方メインのツアーでしたが、添乗員さんが親切で日本語もお上手で良かったです。個人で鎌倉旅行でも良かったのですが、江ノ電にも乗りたかったし、バスで迎えに来てくれるのはありがたかったです。日本人は私たち2人だけで、時間や集合場所の案内が、中国語と日本語で面倒だったと思います。バスも1番前にしてくださるなど、ご配慮いただき、ありがとうございました！

I was concerned about the cherry blossom blooming status and the weather, but both were perfect on the day of the event. It was great to see the cherry blossoms from a high vantage point on the bus without having to walk through the crowds of spectators in the city center. The guide's explanations were detailed and informative! Passing under the elevated tracks was thrilling and fun. We got off the bus in Asakusa and visited Senso-ji Temple without going through the crowded Nakamise street, and then we enjoyed the view of the Tokyo Skytree and cherry blossoms leisurely at Sumida Park.

桜の開花状況と天気が気になりましたが当日は両方に恵まれて最高でした。
都心の桜を見物客の混雑の中を歩かずにバスの上の高い目線から見られて良かったです。
ガイドさんの説明も詳しくて良かった！
高架下をくぐるのもスリリングで面白い。
浅草でバスを降りて浅草寺を横から仲見世の混雑を通らずにお参りして、隅田川公園でスカイツリーと桜をゆっくり楽しみました。

I had a sudden thought and signed up at the last minute, but I really enjoyed it! At first, I considered renting a car to get around, but since there are many narrow roads on the island, I thought it might take a long time to cover all the courses and distances, even if someone from outside the island could drive. As a result, participating in this bus tour allowed me to make effective use of my time. Thank you very much! Next time, I want to join with my friends!

ふと思い立ち、ギリギリでの申し込みでしたが、とても楽しめました^ ^最初はレンタカーを借りて回ろうとも思っていましたが、島内は道も狭いところも多く、島外の方も運転はできるとは思いますが、これだけのコースや距離を回るとなると時間がかかるかな、とも思いました！結果、このバスツアー参加で、時間を有効に使うことができました。ありがとうございました。今度は友達と参加したいと思います！

I had accumulated quite a few points on Veltra, so I participated in this tour that I had been interested in for a while. It was fun to see Mount Fuji from various locations.

ベルトラのポイントが結構貯まっていたので、前から興味があったこちらのツアーに参加しました。色んな場所から富士山を拝見できて楽しかったです。

I was looking forward to American Village, but my stay was short, and I only got to experience the atmosphere.

The most concerning point was that the tour guide (who was Korean) rushed off to the destination as soon as we got off the bus, making it difficult to ask any questions. I could barely keep up with them, which was quite frustrating.

Since I had participated in a tour with another bus company the day before, I could really feel the difference in service. There was a lack of hospitality.

The travel time on the bus was long, so I would have appreciated a bit more sightseeing information.

アメリカンビレッジを楽しみにしていたので、滞在時間が短くて雰囲気だけ味わった。
一番気になる点は、添乗員の方（韓国人）がバスから降りたら一目散に目的地に早足で向かい（質問など出来ない状態）付いていくのがやっとで、とても困った。
前日ほかのバス会社のツアーに参加したので、サービスの差を感じた。
おもてなしの心がなかった。
移動バス時間も長かったので、少し観光案内が欲しかった。

Since I live in Osaka and had never taken the city sightseeing bus, I rode it with my elderly mother at her request. The weather was nice, and the cherry blossoms were just starting to bloom, which was great. The open roof was perfect for the season. If I have the chance again, I would like to ride it in a different season.

大阪に住んでいて市内観光バスに乗ったことがなかったので、高齢の母に頼まれたこともあり一緒に乗りましたが、お天気にも恵まれ桜もチラホラ咲き始めで良かったです。天井があいていて季節的にはちょうど良かったです。
また機会があれば、違う季節に乗りたいと思いました。

Since it was my second time in Shirakawa-go, I felt like I was reconfirming it as a tourist spot, but Gokayama was quiet and still had some snow, allowing me to enjoy a more enriching experience.

白川郷は2回目だったので、観光地として再確認した感でしたが五箇山は静かで雪も残っていましたのでより味わい深い時間を過ごせました。

It was cold, but I was happy to receive a heat pack. The explanation was very easy to understand. The driving was safe, and I was able to ride with peace of mind. Since it was my first experience, I made great memories.

寒かったなのですがカイロを頂き嬉しかったです。説明がとてもわかりやすかった。運転も安全で安心して乗ることができました。初めての体験だったのでいい思い出ができました。

It was our family's first trip to Hokkaido, staying in Sapporo. The day before, I searched the internet and suddenly decided to go to Asahiyama Zoo. While taking the train would have been fine, I happened to discover this tour and opted for the convenient bus tour instead.

I was torn between a course that included Biei, but since I wanted to take my time observing the animals and the Blue Pond was lit up, I chose this course because I'm not a fan of light displays. It turned out to be a great decision for us.

Based on other people's reviews, we brought our own bento boxes for meals, but it seemed that the restaurant wasn't crowded. However, since we visited on a weekday in late March, I think it was relatively empty.

The bus guide's stories were fascinating, and we had a very enjoyable time.

初めての北海道、札幌宿泊の家族旅行でした。
前日にインターネットを検索して、急遽旭山動物園に行こうと思いたちました。列車で行くのでも良かったのですが、たまたまこちらのツアーを発見し、楽できるバスツアーに決めました。
美瑛付きのコースと迷ったのですが、動物をゆっくり見たいのと、青い池はライトアップとありましたので、ライトアップは好みではないので、こちらのコースにしました。
私達にとっては大正解でした。
食事も他の方の口コミをみて、駅弁を持参しましたが、レストランも混んでいなかったようです。ただ訪れたのが3月下旬の平日なので、比較的空いていたのだと思います。
バスガイドさんの話も興味深く、とても楽しい時間が過ごせました。

The weather was very nice, which was great. Mei, who guided us, explained everything carefully while using multiple languages. I liked that we could go to various places, and this is my fifth time using this tour. Considering the travel time, I can't think of any other options (laughs). Personally, I appreciated being able to enjoy a drink while not having to drive. Since it was Friday, the return trip was crowded, but the driver was thoughtful about the route and drove safely, which was good.

とてもいい天気でよかったです
案内してくれるメイさんも多国語を駆使しながら丁寧に説明、誘導してくれました
色々なところに行けるところが気に入って他のツアーも利用して今回5回目です
移動時間を考えると他には考えられません（笑）
自分的には運転する事ないのでお酒飲みながら行けるのがよかったです
金曜日だったので帰りは混んでましたが運転手さんがルート考えながら安全運転されてたのでよかったです

With a guided experience that included singing and performances, we were able to spend a pleasant time. I think both first-timers and those returning for a second time will enjoy it.

ガイド付きで歌や演奏もあって、和やかに過ごすことができました。
初めての人も2回目以降の人も楽しめると思います。

I was able to visit the attractions without wasting time, and I am very satisfied. The time management was perfect as well. The guide explained everything very clearly, and it was a lot of fun.

無駄なく名所を回れて　とても満足してます　時間配分もバッチリでした
ガイドさんもとてもわかりやすく説明してくれて　とても楽しかったです

I participated with my mother and daughter, making it three generations. The bus had no roof, so it felt a bit chilly, but it was great to see the cherry blossoms up close. Overall, they were about 30% in bloom, but the guide's explanations were bright and enjoyable. We got off in Asakusa, had a meal, and then walked to Ueno Park.

母、娘、私の３世代で参加。バスは屋根が無いので少し肌寒く感じましたが桜を間近に見られて良かったです。全体的には３分咲き程度でしたが、ガイドさんの説明も明るく楽しかったです。
浅草で降りて、食事をしてから上野公園まで歩きました。

You can go directly from Sapporo Station to Asahiyama Zoo while sitting comfortably. Since there were plenty of available seats, I was able to take advantage of the empty ones. The service areas on the way there and back differ in size; the one on the way there is more substantial, so I recommend purchasing anything that catches your eye.

We arrived at the zoo in the early afternoon, and I had given up on seeing the penguin walk, but after confirming online that they do have an afternoon walk, I made a reservation. I was thrilled to finally see the walk I had been looking forward to.

On the way back, we returned to the Sapporo area earlier than planned, around 6 PM. It was smooth and very pleasant.

札幌駅から旭山動物園まで直行のため、座って行けます｡
座席に余裕があったため、空席を利用することもできました｡
行きと帰りのサービスエリアの規模が異なります｡行きの方が充実しているので、
気になるものを見つけたら、購入することをお勧めします。

動物園にはお昼過ぎに到着するので、ペンギンの散歩は見られないとあきらめていましたが、ネットで午後の散歩を実施していることを確認してから予約しました｡
念願のお散歩を見ることができて楽しかったです｡

帰りは予定より早く、6時過ぎには札幌付近に戻りました。
スムーズでとても良かったです｡

I went on a trip to Kyoto with friends for the first time in a while, and I wanted to make the most of our time by visiting the main attractions, so I joined this tour. I was a bit anxious about being with foreigners, but the tour guide explained everything clearly, and we were able to enjoy sightseeing without any delays in our meeting times.

友達と久しぶりの京都旅行、時間を無駄にせずに主要な所に行きたくて、このツアーに参加しました
外国の方達と一緒で不安もありましたが、添乗員さんがわかりやすく説明もしてくれて、集合時間も遅れること無く楽しく観光できました。

The view from the high vantage point of the double-decker bus was refreshing, and the guide's explanations were easy to understand and interesting, making for a very meaningful experience!

2階建バスならではの高い視線からの景色が新鮮だったのとガイドさんのお話がわかりやすくて面白くもありとても有意義な時間を過ごさせていただきました♪
