All Reviews for Bus Tours

I was able to visit a place that I probably wouldn't go to on a personal trip. At Okurayama, it was drizzling, and since we didn't ride the lift, we ended up with some extra time, but other than that, it felt short and busy. In our case, especially at Shiroi Koibito Park, I felt it would have been nice to have about 20 more minutes. The discount coupons at the outer market are very worthwhile.

個人の旅行では行くことが無さそうな場所に行くことができました。
大倉山では小雨が降ってリフトに乗らないため時間が余ってしまいましたが、その他は時間が短くて忙しい感じでした。我が家の場合は、特に白い恋人パークではあと20分くらい長くなると良いと感じました。
場外市場での割引クーポンは大変お得です。

The most memorable part was Kote-kun! He stopped right where the customers could safely get off. But he was distracted by his crush, Koume-chan, and kept turning around while pulling the cart. So cute! He should muster up the courage and confess (laughs). I wonder if he's working energetically today. I want to go see him again. I also got to listen to the sanshin, and the lunch in Yufuin was delicious. Since then, I've become hooked on the oil miso and even bought some as souvenirs, which made my bag heavy (laughs). Since I had an elderly companion, we took the bus around Taketomi. It was a bit of a hectic trip, but I was able to truly experience Okinawa.

一番印象に残ったのはこてつくんです!　お客さんが安全に降りられる所にきちんと止まってくれました。だけど好きな子(コウメちゃん)が気になって、振り向き振り向き牛車を引いていましたね。かわいい。勇気だして告ったほうがいいよ(笑)　今日も元気に働いているのかな。また会いに行きたいな。三線も聞けて、由布の昼食も美味しかった。あれから油味噌のとりこになり、お土産まで買って重い重い(笑)　高齢者の連れがいたので、竹富はバス移動にしました。ちょっと慌ただしい旅でしたが、沖縄を肌で感じることができました。

As others have mentioned in their experiences, the guide is Chinese, and two-thirds of the participants are foreigners. As long as you keep that in mind, I was satisfied with the tour content.

他の方が体験談に記載してあるとおり、
ガイドさんは中国人の方ですし、参加者の2/3は外国人の方です。
そこさえ、頭に入っていればツアー内容的には
満足でした。

It was great to be taken around by bus since it's not easy to go on my own. I appreciated that the morning wasn't too early, and the lunch was delicious.

個人ではなかなか行きにくいのでバスで色々連れてって貰えてよかった。朝があまり早くないのが良かったし、ランチも美味しかった。

The guide's explanations were enjoyable and easy to understand, making for a fun sightseeing experience. Despite the heat, the time flew by and was very satisfying. Thank you for taking photos with my husband.

ガイドさんの説明が楽しく分かりやすく笑顔で楽しい観光でした。暑い中あっという間の満足な時間でした。主人との写真を撮って下さりありがとうございました。

I joined this tour that allows you to visit three islands because I wanted to travel alone to various places. I noticed many people were traveling solo as well, and since there wasn't much interaction with other groups, I was able to relax comfortably.

Before departure, you receive an explanation and your ticket at the counter inside the island terminal. The tickets are collected each time, so be careful not to lose them. The explanation was thorough, leaving no room for confusion.

The ferry has free seating, and of course, the window seats fill up first. Everything runs on time, so as long as you make it, you won't be left behind, but arriving early will get you better seats.

During the sightseeing tour of Iriomote Island, I learned various things about the island while enjoying fun stories. I was lucky enough to see a crested serpent eagle. It's said that the Iriomote wildcat is nocturnal and rarely seen. Personally, I enjoyed the mangrove tour as well, but the bus tour to Yubu Island after the sightseeing was also fun. The driver's stories were entertaining.

On Yubu Island, we moved around on water buffaloes. There were fast and slow ones, so which one you ride is a matter of luck. The front seat offers a great view of the buffalo, but be careful as there might be splashes during their bathroom breaks. You can take a photo with Rui, the only water buffalo you can interact with on the island. You can buy a small free photo or a nice paid one. The lunch on this island was delicious, like a bento box. After that, we had a little free time, rode the water buffalo again, took the bus, and then the boat.

On Taketomi Island, I had free time as per the plan I signed up for. It was a free walk plan, but it takes about 10 minutes to walk to the entrance of the village, which isn't too far. I enjoyed the free walk to Nishizaki Pier. It might be tough at Hoshi no Sunahama, but the pier offered a beautiful view of the sea.

After that, I took the ferry at my preferred time back to the island terminal. It was a very enjoyable day.

一人旅でいろんなところに行きたかったため、3つの島を巡れるこのツアーに参加しました。
1人参加の方も多く見られ、特に他のグループと関わって何かすることもなかったのでとても気軽に過ごせました。

出発前に離島ターミナル内のカウンターで説明とチケットを受け取ります。チケットは都度回収されるので無くさないように。説明は充分にされ、不明点がないほどしっかりされました。

フェリーは自由席。やはり窓側から埋まります。時間ぴったりに全て旅の計画は進むので間に合えば置いていかれることはない、けど早い方がいい席は取れます。

西表島の遊覧では楽しい話とともに西表島の様々なことが知れます。運良くカンムリワシ見れました。イリオモテヤマネコは夜行性で見れることはほぼないそう。私的にはマングローブツアーも楽しかったですが、遊覧降りてから由布島までのバス観光もたのしかったです。運転手さんの話がおもしろい。

由布島では水牛にのって移動。早い子、遅い子様々でどの子に乗れるかは運次第。1番前の席は見渡せ、牛がしっかり見えますが、排泄シーンでは水が飛ぶことがあるので注意。
由布島では唯一触れ合える水牛のルイくんと写真撮れます。無料の小さな写真と有料の立派な写真が買えたり。この島で昼食、お弁当見たいなごはんで美味しかったです。その後はすこし自由時間をとり、また水牛にのり、バスに乗り、船に乗り。

竹富島では申し込んだプランでフリータイム。
フリーウォークのプランでしたが、集落の入り口までは歩いて10分ほど。そんなに遠くないです。
西桟橋までならフリーウォークで十分楽しめました。星の砂の浜だと厳しいかもしれませんが、桟橋でもとってもきれいな海を見れました。

その後は好きな時間のフェリーにのり、離島ターミナルへ。とっても楽しい1日でした。

This quality at this price is quite wonderful✨
I was able to enjoy a fantastic dance performance for the first time during dinner.
Thanks to this, I was able to fully enjoy Okinawa(^^)

この値段でこのクオリティ
なかなか素晴らしい✨
夕食もうらしまで、素晴らしい舞踊を
はじめてみさせていただきました。
おかげさまで

沖縄満喫出来ました(^^)

It was an unusually record-breaking heavy rain on the day, but I enjoyed the guidance inside the car. Due to the heavy rain, I couldn't fully enjoy the stops, but the guide and driver were considerate. I think the tour content was good.

Since the stay time was short, if there are people who don't keep to the schedule, it can throw off the plans.

当日は異例の記録的豪雨でしたが、車内での案内が楽しめました。豪雨で、立ち寄り処では十分に楽しめませんでしたが、ガイドさん運転手さんの気遣いがありました。ツアーの内容は良いと思います。

滞在時間が短いので、時間を守らない人がいると、予定がずれてきます。

This is a great deal!
You can visit various tourist attractions on a day trip bus.
Since there are no trains or public transportation in the area, it's a blessing for my friend and me, who don't have a driver's license.

To all the tourists considering this,
the schedule will be tight, so please listen carefully to the bus guide's announcements and act quickly.
If you're late, it will inconvenience others on the same tour.
You can take a nap on the bus during the journey, so bringing a neck pillow will make it more comfortable.

これは、お得です！
観光名所の数々を、日帰りバスで、まわってくれます。
電車・交通機関がない場所なので、運転免許の無い私と友達にとって、ありがたい話です。

ご検討中の観光客の皆さんへ
タイトなスケジュールになるので、バスガイドさんのアナウンスをよく聞き、すばやく行動してください。
時間に遅れると、同じツアーの人たちに、迷惑をかけます。
移動中のバス内では、仮眠できるので、首枕を持参すると、ラクです。

The crew members were kind, which was nice. Also, they were eating ice cream before the passengers. The Japanese was repeated once, but the Chinese was repeated about twice and was a bit long, which I found slightly concerning.

搭乗員の、方が、親切でよかった、てか、客より先にアイス食べてた、日本語は、1回だけど、中国語が、二回ぐらい繰り返して長かったのが少し気になったかな

I had a great time on the first day! I'm glad I was able to visit many islands. The best part was traveling between the islands on a water buffalo! I want to go again.

1日目一杯楽しめました！たくさんの島を回れてよかったです。一番は水牛で島を行き来したのがよかったです！！また行きたいです

Most of the participants were from overseas. The Japanese participants returned to the bus on time, but I was surprised by the laxity of the overseas participants regarding time. As a result, the departure times from various locations were delayed, which gradually reduced our time to explore, and that was disappointing. I think the time to look around American Village was short.

The guide was from overseas and spoke broken Japanese, but they were very polite in assisting the customers, which was great.

I took the ropeway and was able to see Lake Toya and the ocean in a 360-degree view from the summit. You absolutely have to climb it!

After a bit of hiking, the view was amazing! It felt so good. I wasn't very familiar with the sightseeing around Sapporo, so I left everything to them, but they took me to various places and provided plenty of free time, which was great. The guide and the driver were also very kind. Thank you! ♪

ロープウェイに乗って山頂から洞爺湖と海360度見れました。絶対登るべきです！

少しハイキングして素晴らしい眺め！とても気持ち良かったです。
札幌の周りの観光あまり詳しくないので全てお任せでしたが、色々な所に連れて行ってくれて、フリーな時間も多くとても良かったです。
ガイドさんと運転手さんも優しい方たちでした。
ありがとうございました♪

I always go to Okinawa, but this was my first time using a bus tour (^o^) The driver and the guide were very warm and always checked in with us, which made me feel secure participating in the tour. The guide was very kind, had a great personality, and was cheerful, which was wonderful! We visited the Churaumi Aquarium, Manzamo, Ryukyu Village, and Okashi Goten, finishing at Banta Cafe. If I had driven myself, I would have surely gotten tired from driving, but it was so relaxing to be gently swayed by the bus, and the time flew by. The Okinawan music during the ride was soothing and truly pleasant. Although the time was limited, I was very satisfied. My friends and I are already talking about wanting to use this service again next time! There are so many courses available, and I’m looking forward to the next one. Thank you for this time! I appreciate it and look forward to next time☆

沖縄にいつも行きますが、バスツアーは初めての利用でした(^o^)運転手さんとガイドさんがとっても温かくいつも声掛けして頂き安心してツアーに参加できました。ガイドさんはとても優しくお人柄が良くて明るい方で良かったです!美ら海水族館に万座毛、琉球村に御菓子御殿、締めはバンタカフェと自分で車移動だときっと運転疲れしてダウンしちゃいますが、ゆったりとバスに揺られてあっという間でした。移動中の沖縄音楽も癒やされて本当に心地良かったです。確かに時間は限られていますが十分満足でした。友達と次回また利用したいね〜と話しています!コースもたくさんあるし次回も楽しみにしています。今回はありがとうございました!またよろしくお願いします☆

In the morning, the weather was rainy, but by the time we arrived, it was clear and sunny. The cape was a vast expanse of blue and light blue, and there was no wind, making it pleasant to take in the view. Since we only had a 50-minute stay, we decided to turn back before reaching the cape. It was a bit disappointing, but I was satisfied because I could enjoy the scenery. In Otaru, we had nearly three hours of free time, allowing us to have a leisurely lunch and do some shopping. Lastly, Shiroi Koibito Park felt like a theme park, and it seemed that if we had tickets, we could have seen the factory, but it was unfortunate that we didn't have enough time for that. Overall, I think we arrived smoothly without any crowds, and the time allocation was well balanced.

午前天気が雨でしたがついたら快晴、岬まで一面青と水色、風もなく気持ちが良く眺めることができました。時間が50分の滞在だったので岬まで行くの諦めて途中で引き返しました。少し残念でしたが眺めることはできたので満足です。小樽に行き自由行動たっぷり3時間近くありゆっくりランチと買い物ができました。最後は白い恋人パークはテーマパークのようだったのでチケットがあれば工場も見れたようですが時間的に無理だったのが惜しいです。全体で見れば混むことなくスムーズに場所につき時間配分もバランス良かったかと思います。

It was a long journey, but thanks to the favorable weather, comfortable driving, and a friendly guide, I was able to fully enjoy the sightseeing spots. I didn't place much emphasis on lunch, but the cheese fondue was unexpectedly delicious and satisfying. Thank you very much.

長時間の行程でしたが、天候に恵まれ、快適な運転と親切なガイドのおかげで観光スポットを存分に楽しむことができました。
昼食を重視していませんでしたが、チーズフォンデュが予想以上に美味しく満足しました。
ありがとうございました。

The tour schedule felt a bit busy, but I was glad I could see various sights. The water buffalo cart ride, in particular, allowed for a relaxing time.

少しツアーのスケジュールが忙しく思えたが、色々と観光できたので良かった。特に水牛車は、ゆったりとした時間が過ごせた。

The guide's stories were very enjoyable, and they were also great at singing. The scenery was beautiful. I'm glad I participated.

ガイドさんのお話がとても楽しくて、歌もお上手でした。
景色もきれいでした。
参加して良かったです。

This time, there were about 25 people on an internationally diverse tour that included the United States, Taiwan, South Korea, Mexico, Canada, and three Japanese people, including myself. There were two guides; one was dedicated to South Korea, and the main guide skillfully alternated between English and Japanese, providing a wonderfully bright and lively experience. Once we arrived at the destination, the guide explained everything and acted as an excellent photographer, skillfully capturing everyone's moments. It seems that the quality of the tour largely depends on the guide.

今回は、25名程度でアメリカ、台湾、韓国、メキシコ?、カナダそして日本人は私を含めて3人で国際色豊かなツアーでした。ガイドさんは2名いて一人は韓国専属で付いて、メインのガイドさんは英語と日本語を交互に操り、見事としか言いようのない素晴らしい明るく軽快なガイドさんでした。現地に着いたら説明と名カメラマンで、とても上手に全員のシャッターを押していただきました。やはりツアーの良否はガイドさんに依るものが多いようですね。

I visited Sefa Utaki and the Gangala Valley. The bus ride was spacious and comfortable, and the bus guide provided a lot of interesting information, which was great. The bus guide's performance of Ryukyu folk songs at the end was also wonderful. It was a tour that allowed me to fully enjoy Okinawa.

斎場御嶽とガンガラーの谷を観光しました。
移動のバスもゆったり快適で
バスガイドさんの案内もとても色々教えていただき良かったです。
最後のバスガイドさんの琉球歌謡がまた良かったです。
沖縄を満喫できたツアーでした。

Unfortunately, it was rainy at Kouri Island and Manzamo, which was a bit disappointing. However, Manzamo really looked like an elephant's trunk, and it was interesting. The best part was American Village. It felt like experiencing a foreign atmosphere, and it was really great. The buildings were wonderful, like a different world.

Choosing the dinner plan with Sam's Steak was a good decision. They cooked the steak right in front of us, and it came with a performance, which was fun.

It became a great memory.

小宇利島と万座毛はあいにくの雨で、少し残念でした。でも万座毛は本当にゾウさんのお鼻にそっくりで、面白かったです。1番良かったのがアメリカンビレッジです。雰囲気が異国にいるみたいに体験できて凄く良かったです。別世界みたいで建物が凄く素敵でした。
サムズステーキの夕食付きプランを選んだのが良かったです。目の前でステーキを焼いてくれて、それもパフォーマンスつきで、面白かったです。
良い思い出になりました。

Personally, I found the time allocation just right. To conclude, the Nakama River cruise, which I had the least expectations for, turned out to be the best. The guide was wonderful, and we stopped to look for wild birds, sometimes even turning back. Additionally, the bus ride from Nakama River to Yufu Island was great, with the driver's talk about daily life and shopping on Iriomote Island being enjoyable. When we spotted a crested serpent eagle along the way, the bus stopped so we could take a good look, which was very satisfying. I think both the mangrove cruise and the bus ride were a hit thanks to the people involved. However, I had high expectations for the water buffalo cart to Yufu Island, and after riding it twice, I was disappointed both times. It was much smaller than I had imagined, and the talk was quite standard. The much-anticipated sanshin performance was also formal and didn't resonate with me. The water buffalo cart experience I had on Taketomi Island last time was much more satisfying. Overall, since this was my first time in Iriomote Island, I think it was a good tour. Next time, I want to participate in some activities.

個人的には程よい時間配分でちょうどよかったです。結論から言うと、一番期待していなかった仲間川クルーズが一番よかった。船頭さんの案内が素晴らしくマングローブは勿論、野鳥を探しては停まったり時には戻ったりしていただけました。また、仲間川から由布島までのバスも運転手さんのトークが最高で西表島の日常や買い物事情など楽しかったです。そして道中、カンムリワシを発見した時はバスを停車させてじっくり見させてもらえ大満足。マングローブクルーズもバスも人次第なので大当たりだったと思います。しかし、由布島へ渡る水牛車は大きな期待をしていただけに往復2回乗りますが、どちらもがっかりでした。想像していたスケールよりもかなり小さく、トークも定型的でした。期待の三線演奏もこれまた形式的で演奏が心に響くことはありませんでした。前回体験した竹富島の水牛車の方が内容はずっと満足出来るものでした。
今回は初めての西表島だったので総合的にはよいツアーだったと思います。次はアクティビティに参加したいです。

Every place I visited was beautiful and healing. The hamburger and cheese fondue set for lunch was also very delicious. I want to visit again during the lavender season.

とにかく訪れる場所が全て美しく癒されました。
お昼のハンバーグとチーズフォンデュのセットもとても美味しかったです。
今度はラベンダーの季節に訪れたいです。

The bus was full, and there were only three groups of Japanese people, including us. The rest were from China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. The guide was kind enough to let the Japanese passengers sit in the spacious seats, making our journey to Amanohashidate comfortable. The tour did not include the lift ticket for Amanohashidate or the tickets for the Ine Bay sightseeing boat, and we were told to pay 2050 yen on the bus. (I’m not sure if that’s a good price or not.) Since it was my first time at Amanohashidate, I was purified by its beauty, which exceeded my expectations. We only had about two hours of free time, but I felt that was just about right.

Next, we boarded the Ine Bay sightseeing boat. The beautiful sea and the number of seagulls were amazing, and it was a fun experience! However, be careful of the black kites. A friend who joined the tour got scratched by one.

Finally, we visited the Ine boathouses. The breathtaking view was moving. However, we only had 30 minutes there, and I wished we had another 30 minutes. I also wanted to visit the Kōyōmaru boat, but due to time constraints, I thought it would be great if the tour could either extend the time or include it.

Overall, it was truly the best memory, and both the bus driver and the guide were wonderful people. I would love to join again!

バスは満員で日本人は私たち合わせ3組しかいませんでした。後は中国・台湾・香港などでした。
ガイドのおじさんは日本人にはバスの座席が広いところに座らせてくれて快適に天橋立まで向かえました。ツアーの中に天橋立のリフト券と伊根湾めぐり遊覧船のチケットは付いていなく、バスの中で2050円払ってくださいと言われました。(安くなってるのか高くなってるのかは分かりません)初めての天橋立という事で想像以上の綺麗さに心が浄化されました。自由時間は2時間ほどしかありませんでしたが、丁度いいくらいかなと感じました。
次に伊根湾めぐり遊覧船に乗りました。綺麗な海とカモメの数が凄くて非日常を味わえて楽しかったです！ですが、トンビには気をつけてください。一緒にツアーに参加した友達は引っかかれてました。
最後に伊根の舟屋に行きました。絶景が広がり感動しました。けど30分しか時間がなかったのでもう30分くらいあればいいなと思いました。また、幸洋丸という舟の見学に行きたかったのですが、時間的にも厳しかったので、時間を伸ばすかツアーに含んで欲しいなと思いました！

トータルで本当に最高の思い出になったし、バスの運転手さんも、ガイドさんも素敵な方でまた参加したいです！

This time, I participated with my mother because I wanted to see the admired Shakotan Blue. The tour lasted from 8 AM to around 6 PM, so I was initially worried about whether my elderly mother would be okay, but in the end, it was a very satisfying tour. Fortunately, the weather was great, and the view from Cape Kamui was absolutely wonderful. However, I think it would have been even better if we could have extended our stay at Cape Kamui by about 15 more minutes to enjoy the scenery more. Considering the round trip to the tip of the cape, taking photos, and restroom breaks, it felt a bit tight on time. The guide was a kind Chinese person, and I was impressed that they provided guidance in Chinese, English, and Japanese.

今回は憧れの積丹ブルーを見たくて、母と参加させていただきました。朝8時から夕方6時頃までのツアーなので、高齢の母でも大丈夫か当初は心配でしたが、結果大満足のツアーでした。今回は幸いお天気にも恵まれて、神威岬の絶景は最高に素晴らしかったです。ただあと15分くらい神威岬での滞在時間を延ばしていただくとより絶景を楽しめたなと思います。岬先端までの往復と写真撮影、トイレ時間を考えるとちょっとギリギリでした。ガイドさんは中国人の優しい方で、、中国語、英語、日本語の3カ国それぞれで案内されていたのですごいなと感心しました。

The first day of the three-day weekend was a midsummer day, and the second day was rainy, which made me quite anxious, but the day we rode was a splendid autumn day. The open bus, instead of an open car, provided a wonderful sense of freedom. There were parts where we drove on the highway, giving it an attraction-like feeling, and I was very satisfied.

3連休の初日は真夏日で、2日目は雨でとても不安でしたが、乗った日は見事な秋晴れでした。
オープンカーならぬ、オープンバスは開放感が素晴らしかった。
高速道路を走行する箇所も有り、アトラクションのような感覚も有り、とても満足でした。

It was a fulfilling day visiting three islands on a day trip. On Taketomi Island, it was convenient to choose the return ferry time. I was able to get around efficiently with a rental bicycle. However, be careful as some rental shops do not offer shuttle service to the ferry. Also, since there are many sandy areas, a bicycle with wider tires might be easier to ride.

日帰りで３島巡れて濃密な１日でした。
竹富島は、帰りの船の時間を選べて便利。レンタサイクルで効率的にまわれた。レンタサイクル屋によっては船の時間に送迎ないため注意必要。また、砂地が多くタイヤが広い自転車が乗りやすいかも。

ありがとうございました、ロンさん。旅行を楽にしてくれて、すべての説明をしてくれて本当に感謝しています。私たちは富士山を見ることができてラッキーでした。素晴らしい体験でした！強くお勧めします。

Thank you so much Mr Long for making the trip easier and for all the explanations. We were lucky that we could see the Mont Fuji, it was an amazing experience! I strongly recommend

The main language was Chinese, and there were many Chinese tourists, with only my husband and me being Japanese. I thought the conversations among the guests on the bus would be loud in Chinese, but that day it was very quiet, with only the voice of the Chinese tour guide. It was a very peaceful bus tour. The tour guide was also kind and attentive, talking to us, which was nice. Thanks to that, we were able to enjoy our trip without any unpleasant experiences.

メインが中国語で、中国系の観光客が多く日本人は私達夫婦だけで、きっとバスの中は中国語のお客さん同士の会話がうるさいと思ってましたが、その日ずーっと静かで中国の添乗員さんの声だけで、とても静かなバスツアーでした。添乗員さんも親切で色々気に掛けて、お話ししてくれて良かったです。お陰で嫌な思いませずに旅行を楽しめました。

My first solo trip to Hokkaido
I couldn't rent a car... but I wanted to go to Furano and Biei!
So, I booked a day trip bus tour.
Since it was a weekday, no one sat next to me, so I could relax.
The weather was perfect!
The guide's talk was easy to understand, and the recommendations were helpful.
I was surprised at how many solo travelers there were!
I was able to make many friends and had a wonderful time.
If I have the chance, I would love to join another tour.

初めての北海道へひとり旅
レンタカー無理だし…でも富良野・美瑛行きたい！
そこで日帰りバスツアーを予約してみた。
平日という事もあり隣の席には誰も座ってこなかったのでゆったり乗れた。
最高の天気！
ガイドさんのトークも分かりやすく、おすすめが役立った。
おひとり様旅行がこんなにいたの？
というくらい多く仲良くなれて楽しいひと時が過ごせました。
機会があれば、またツアーに参加したいです。
