All Reviews for Japan Autumn Tours 2024

The tour guide was a Chinese male who provided guidance in both Chinese and Japanese. It seemed that there were many Japanese participants this time, which surprised him. He was very friendly, and we were able to enjoy the tour. I recommend it to Japanese travelers as well!

添乗員さんが、中国系の男性の方でしたが、中国語と日本語で案内してくださいました。今回は日本の方が多かったようで、びっくりされてました。とても親しみやすく楽しくツアーを回ることができました。日本の方にもオススメですヨ

It was exciting and very enjoyable! The boatman had fun talks and performances! I think this price for two hours is still quite reasonable.

ワクワク感あり見応えたっぷり！船頭さんの楽しいトークにパフォーマンスあり！2時間でこの値段はまだまだお安いと思います。

It was a cloudy day, and it was still a bit early for the cherry blossoms, but listening to the guide's talk made the two hours fly by. It would be wonderful to be able to board again during the autumn foliage season.

曇り空で、桜にはまだ少し早い時期でしたが、先頭さんのお話を聞きながらあっという間の2時間でした。今度は紅葉の時期にまた、乗船できたら最高ですね。

Although the weather forecast predicted rain, it hardly rained at all, and I was able to explore the area. I hadn't originally planned to take a boat ride, but the water level was so high that it was canceled. Near the waterfall, I was able to take off my mask and enjoy the negative ions. The guide was fluent in Chinese, English, and Japanese, which made me feel at ease and allowed me to enjoy the tour without any worries. It was just as good as the Tsunoshima tour I took the day before.

あいにくの雨予報でしたがほぼほぼ降らずに何とか見て回れました。
元々舟に乗る予定はなかったのですが増水で中止になるくらい水嵩があり滝の近くではマスクもはずしてマイナスイオンを満喫できました。
ガイドの方は中国語、英語、日本語全てできる人で気にかけてもらえたので不安もなくツアーを楽しめました。
前日に行った角島ツアー同様に良かったです。

The reservation process was smooth, the weather was great on the day, and the stories from the three boatmen were entertaining and fun! I would love to go again during the autumn foliage season.

すんなり予約でき、当日はお天気も良く、船頭さん3人のお話も面白おかしく、とても楽しかったです‼️
また秋の紅葉の時期に行きたいです。

The tour guide was humorous and enjoyable!! We also had a delicious lunch in Shirakawa-go! Gokayama was very quiet... but I don't think I could move there. The washi paper-making experience was great! I had a rich day of travel.

添乗員さんのガイド…ユーモアもあり楽しめました!!また白川郷でのお昼ごはんも美味しくいただく事が出来ましたﾖ!五箇山とっても静かで…でも移住は出来ないかなぁ～と…紙すき体験は良かったですﾈ!旅の濃い一日を過ごせました

I knew about the Chinese language guided tour when I applied, and I chose it based on the schedule and content, and I participated! There were only two of us Japanese, but the guide spoke Japanese, so we were able to enjoy it without any inconvenience. If there’s another opportunity, I would like to participate again!

中国語ガイドツアーと申込み時に分かっていましたが、日程と内容で選び、参加させてもらいました！
日本人は私達2人のみでしたが、ガイドさんは日本語も話せる方なので、何の不自由もなく楽しめました♪
また機会があれば、参加させていただきたいです！

It started pouring rain in the morning, but by the time I got on the bus, it cleared up, and when I arrived, it was like a blessing from the heavens. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom, the food was delicious, and I met wonderful people. I was guided by kind locals in Kanazawa, coming from Hokkaido, and it was an impeccable experience. I was also overwhelmed by the many tourists from abroad. Japan is truly amazing!

朝からの大雨でバスに乗ったら晴れてきて、着く頃にはめぐみの雨？
桜が丁度満開、食事も美味しくて、良い人にも出会えたし、北海道から来て金沢も優しい人に案内されて、申し分のない時間でした。
ほとんど外国からのツアー客にも圧倒されました。
日本は素晴らしいですね

I was surprised to find out that the tour was for foreigners after the application had ended, and I participated with a bit of anxiety.

As expected, I was the only Japanese participant (since I was traveling alone) on this tour. It was also my first trip to Kyushu.

However, in the end, it was okay.

The explanations were mostly in Chinese, but the tour guide was kind and explained the important things in Japanese. As long as I knew the meeting time, I was mostly free to explore, so I was able to enjoy myself✌️

Beppu was really great, but I was disappointed that I couldn't take a bath.

I definitely want to try again.

申し込みが終了してから、外国人向けのツアーだと知ってびっくりしつつ、少し不安を持って参加しました。

やはり今回のツアーでは、日本人は、私だけ(一人参加でしたので)でした。
九州旅行も初めてでした。

でも、、結果としては、大丈夫でした

説明は、9割は中国語でしたが、添乗員の方が親切で大事なことは日本語で教えて下さいましたし、集合時間さえわかっていれば、ほぼ自由行動でしたので、楽しむことが出来ました✌️

別府がすごく良かったのですが、お風呂に入れず残念。

是非リベンジしたいと思ってます。

On a Sunday when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, I was prepared to wait quite a while, but I was able to board the boat right away. The conversations with the boat crew were enjoyable, and I was very satisfied to be able to buy some dango during the trip before leaving the boat.

桜満開の日曜日かなり待たないと行けないかと覚悟してましたが直ぐに船に乗せてもらえ船上中船頭さんたちのトークも楽しく途中船上での買い物で団子を買って頂く事が出来大変満足し船を後にしました

This is a tour completely designed for Chinese tourists. I recommend it for those who don't mind that. The guide provides information in Chinese, English, and Japanese. Both the bus driver and the guide were very pleasant people. I wanted to enjoy a hot spring in Yufuin, so I spent one hour at a nearby day-use bath within walking distance, and the remaining hour was spent sampling food. It was a fulfilling trip!

完全に中国系観光客用ツアーです。気にならない方にはオススメです。
ガイドさんは中国語、英語、日本語で案内してくれます。
バスの運転手さんもガイドさんもとても感じのいい人でした。
私は湯布院で温泉に入りたかったので歩いて行ける日帰り風呂で1時間、残りの1時間で食べ歩きをしました。
充実した旅でした！

There were many foreigners, and the guide was from China, mostly speaking English, but they were very kind and made for a fun trip. I was able to chat a little with the guide, who was very good at Japanese and a wonderful person. Everyone participating seemed to be having a great time. Conversely, it felt refreshing to experience a familiar course alongside foreigners.

外人さんが多く、ガイドの方も中国のかたで、ほぼ英語でしたが、とても親切で楽しい旅行ができました。ガイドさんとも少しお話しできましたが、とても日本語上手で、素晴らしい方でした。
参加の皆さんも楽しそうでした。逆に慣れ親しんだコースを外人さんと一緒に回るとこうなるんだと新鮮な気持ちになりました。

I learned about the scenery visible from the train window, recommended souvenirs in Shirakawa-go, and the experience of standing and drinking cloudy sake, which I wouldn't have known otherwise. It was also interesting to see visitors from various countries, and the guide's English helped me practice my listening skills. I was surprised to find that the area beyond the tunnel was a snowy landscape, and I thoroughly enjoyed the unique experiences that only a bus tour can offer. Fortunately, the weather was also nice.

車窓から見える景色の説明や白川郷でのお勧めのお土産や濁り酒の立ち飲み等自分たちでは知り得ないことが知れたのと、様々な国の方が訪れていることも分かり、ガイドさんの英語でリッスニングの勉強にもなりました。トンネルを抜けた先が雪景色の別世界だったのも驚きで、バスツアーならではの楽しみも満喫できました。お天気が良かったのも幸いしました。

Many foreign passengers were on board, and explanations were provided in English simultaneously. This was quite normal, but I think the use of humor made it much easier for foreign guests to understand. Additionally, not only the places we visited, such as Shirakawa-go and Takayama, but also the scenery, buildings, and culture along the way were explained in detail, making it a very meaningful trip.

外国の方も多く搭乗しており、英語での説明も同時に行っていました。
ここまでは普通ですが、ユーモアをふんだんに使い外国の方にもだいぶわかりやすかったと思います。
また、今回周った白川郷、飛騨高山たけに限らず、道中の景色、建物、文化なども細かに説明があり大変有意義な旅になりました。

The participants, except for one person, were all from overseas, but the guide was fluent in Japanese. I was seated in the front row, and the guide communicated the important information in Japanese each time, which made me feel at ease.

I really wanted to visit Takachiho Gorge, so I searched for a tour, but the only one I found that operates daily was this tour, which mainly caters to international guests. I'm so glad I participated because I was able to see the wonderful Takachiho Gorge!

The guide and the driver were both very kind, and they also shared information about other tourist spots close to Fukuoka, which I visited the next day. Both places were great.

Thank you very much!

参加者の方々は私達以外は一人を除いて皆さん海外からの方でしたが、ガイドさんは日本語が堪能でしたし、一番前の席に座らせていただいて、その都度日本語で注意事項を伝えて頂いたので安心でした。
どうしても高千穂峡に行きたく、ツアーを探したのですが、毎日催行しているのは、海外の方が中心のこのツアーしか見つからず参加しましたが、素晴らしい高千穂峡に行くことができ本当に良かったです！
ガイドさんももちろん、運転手さんにも親切にして頂き、福岡から近い他の観光地も教えて頂いて翌日に行ってきました。
どちらも、良かったです。
本当にありがとうございました！

I was disappointed that I couldn't get on the bus I wanted because I didn't have much knowledge and made a reservation. I reserved a designated seat and went to the bus center to confirm, only to find out that this reservation was only for a bus with unreserved seats. I had to wait in line for 30 minutes to board. As an elderly person, I thought I had secured a designated seat, so I was quite disheartened.

あまり知識がなく予約してしまって
乗りたいバスに乗れなくて残念でした。
バスの指定席を予約してバスセンターに行って確認したらこの予約は自由席のみのバスしか乗れなくて30分ならんで乗りました。高齢者なので指定席がとれていたと思っていたのでがっかりでした。

It was a fleeting moment! While enjoying the seasonal cherry blossom scenery, I was moved by the boatmen's dedication and their entertaining talks that made us laugh. Thank you for your hard work! I would love to visit again during the autumn foliage season.

あっという間の時間です！ちょうど季節の桜の景観も観つつ、船頭さんたちの命がけ？の体張った舟の操縦と楽しいトークで笑わせてくれるサービス精神に感動しました。ほんとにお疲れさまです！ありがとうございました！次は紅葉の時にまた行きたいです。

The tour guide was lovely. She didn’t speak much English but she had a book of phrases she needed to tell us written out so we knew what was going on. The bus ride had an English audio guide which was generally interesting. The train was beautiful, and the scenery was amazing. The boat trip was unfortunately cancelled due to the heavy rain the day before, so we had a long coach journey instead. The bamboo forest was incredible but very busy so if you want quiet maybe go by yourself instead of on a tour. we had three hours at Arashyama which was actually perfect, if we’d had a boat trip too it would have only been an hour which would have been too short!

It was a tour for overseas travelers, but the tour guide was kind and explained everything in Japanese individually, so I was able to enjoy sightseeing without any worries.

海外向けツアーでしたが、添乗員さんが親切で個別に日本語で説明してくれたので、何も不安にならず楽しく観光出来ました。

A trip with my elderly mother. We usually enjoy freedom and spontaneity, so initially, we thought about taking a highway bus from Kanazawa Station to Shirakawa-go on our own. However, we decided to join this tour because it allows us to visit both Shirakawa-go and Gokayama in one day. It was the right choice. Having the tour guide manage the time made it easy for us, and during the ride to our destination, we learned about the route we were taking, local specialties, recommended spots in Shirakawa-go, and interesting facts about the history of Gokayama. This increased our satisfaction with the tour and sparked further interest. My mother was also happy to be able to enjoy the trip without any strain. Thank you for your assistance.

高齢の母との二人旅。いつもは自由、気ままが好きなので、当初は自分達で金沢駅から高速バスに乗って白川郷へ行こうかと思っていたのですが、こちらのツアーでは白川郷と五箇山両方を日帰りで回れるということで、申し込みました。選んで正解でした。添乗員さんに時間管理をして頂くので楽であったことは勿論、目的地までの車中にて　どんな経路で向かっているのか、名産品や白川郷おすすめスポットの紹介、五箇山という土地の今昔に関する豆知識なども教えて頂き、ツアー後の満足度も上がりましたし、更なる興味も湧きました。母も無理なく回れて喜んでいました。お世話になりありがとうございました。

I arrived just in time for departure and was a bit anxious, but thanks to our guide who was fluent in Japanese, there were no troubles and I had a great time. The group was mostly Chinese, about 80% with young couples and families at the center. The weather was nice, and the food was delicious. I highly recommend it!

出発時間ギリの到着で、焦りましたが、
日本語の堪能なガイドさんのおかげで、トラブルも無く、楽しめました、中国の方が8対2程度、若いカップルとファミリー層が、中心
天気も良く、料理も美味しい、おすすめ

I participated with my daughter.
Most of the participants were from Taiwan or China, but the female guide was very kind and considerate. The bus driver was also a gentle person with a smile.
I believe we wouldn't have been able to do that much sightseeing on our own.
It was a lot of fun.
I would like to apply to Veltra for my next trip as well. Thank you very much.

娘と2人で参加しました。
殆どの方々が台湾や中国の方でしたが、女性ガイドさんがとても親切でたくさん配慮して頂きました。バス運転手さんも笑顔のある優しい方でした。
やはり自分達だけでは、あれだけの観光は出来てなかったと思います。
とても楽しかったです。
次回も旅行の時にはベルトラに申し込みたいと思います。ありがとうございました。

It's a trip where you can experience traditional Japanese culture. Kumamoto Castle, Aso, and Kurokawa Onsen are all wonderful! However, it was a bit disappointing that there were mostly Chinese tourists, and it was somewhat noisy.

日本の伝統的文化に触れられる旅です。
熊本城、阿蘇、黒川温泉はどれも素晴らしい❗
ただ、中国人の人達がほとんどで、若干騒がしかったのが残念でした。

I knew from the beginning that the guidance would be in Chinese, so I brought a translation app, but the guide spoke Japanese as well, so I hardly used it. Since they are from China, they can't speak Japanese fluently, but they clearly communicated the meeting time and were cheerful, so there were no issues. The driver was friendly, and the participants were punctual, so there were no delays, making it an enjoyable trip.

中国語での案内だと初めから知っていたので、翻訳アプリを入れて行きましたが、案内の方が日本語も話されるので、ほぼ使いませんでした。
中国の方なので、日本語がペラペラというわけにはいきませんが、集合時間をしっかり教えてくださるし明るい方で問題なしでした。また、運転手の方も気さくで、参加された方も、時間をしっかり守られて遅れる事もありませんでしたし、楽しい旅になりました。

As others have mentioned, the guide was a Chinese woman. Even after the meeting time had passed, there was no explanation, and we finally moved to the bus about 15 minutes later. Inside the bus, she provided a brief explanation using a tablet. Since I had brought a guidebook, she explained using that map. This tour did not include meals, so it was nice to have the freedom to eat at Takayama Ramen (near the bus stop) and use our time freely. It was snowing in Shirakawa-go, which added to the charm. I was able to enjoy my two hours of free time by buying water pudding as a souvenir and visiting Wada House.

他の方が書かれているように、ガイドさんは中国人の女性でした。集合時間が過ぎても何の説明も無く、15分ほど過ぎてようやくバスに移動。バスの中で簡単な説明をタブレットを使ってしてくれます。私はガイドブックを持参していたので、その地図で説明してくれました。このツアーは食事がついていないので、高山ラーメン(バスの停車場近く)で食べたり自由に時間を使えて良かったです。白川郷では雪が降っていて、風情があって良かったです。水プリンをお土産に買ったり、和田家を見学したり2時間の自由時間で結構楽しめました。

I was a bit anxious about being the only two Japanese participants, but the tour guide was very pleasant and friendly, making for an enjoyable bus trip. With just one day of free time, I was able to visit beautiful places in other prefectures, such as Takachiho Gorge, which made for a very fulfilling day. Thank you for checking the train schedules and the traffic conditions for us.

日本人2人だけの参加で不安でしたが、添乗員さんがとても感じの良い方で、気さくに喋ってくれて、楽しいバスの旅でした。1日だけの自由時間で、高千穂峡など、他県の景色の良いところを巡ることができ、とても充実した1日でした。電車の時間に間に合うかどうかや、渋滞の様子などを調べてくれて、ありがとうございました。

I was worried about the snow from the previous day, but thankfully it cleared up on the day itself! Thanks to that, I was able to see the snowy scenery of Shirakawa-go during this season. Of course, the guide was very articulate and easy to understand, making it a satisfying day.

前日からの雪が心配だったが、当日は何とか回復！
そのおかげでこの時期なのに雪景色の白川郷を見ることが出来ました^_^もちろんガイドの方もすごく話しが上手で分かりやすく満足な1日でした。

It was my first time riding the Sky Bus. It was a cold day. Since I came from Aomori for the trip, I thought it would feel warm, but the Sky Bus was quite chilly.

However, even while shivering from the cold, I appreciated the words of the guide that reached my ears. I was very grateful for the cheerful words meant to entertain the tourists. While listening to the stories, I felt it was a good choice to take the Sky Bus today. The wind was extremely cold, but thank you for the heartwarming experience.

　スカイバスに乗ったのは初めて。風が冷たい日でした。青森から旅行に来たということもあり、体感は暖かく感じられるだろうと思って乗ったスカイバスの寒かったこと。
　しかし、寒い寒いと震えながらも耳に入ってくるガイドさんの言葉。観光客を楽しませようとする楽しい言葉がとてもありがたく思いました。お話しを聞きながら、今日はスカイバスを選んで良かったと思う時間でした。風は最高冷たかったけど、心温まる時間をありがとうございました。

My husband is 55 and I am 49. We participated in a tour with Beltora for the first time, hoping to create a memory from our trip to Kyushu. Before signing up, I read some reviews and saw that many participants were from abroad, which made me worry about whether we would be okay joining. However, our Chinese guide was kind and made an effort to speak in Japanese, which made our experience very enjoyable. (Most of the tour was in Chinese, with occasional English and Japanese.)

Out of 37 participants, there were only 4 Japanese people, and several others joined alone. Thanks to visiting several top power spots in Kumamoto and Miyazaki, we didn't get caught in the heavy rain during our trip. The omikuji (fortune slip) we received at Dazaifu Tenmangu the next day was a great blessing. I feel like things are gradually improving for us.

We were able to relax surrounded by the great nature of Aso and Takachiho Gorge. Depending on the destination, there are well-maintained but quite steep mountain paths to climb. It was still a bit early for cherry blossoms, but the rapeseed flowers along the way were beautifully in bloom. I would like to sign up again if I find another good course.

It was mostly a bus tour, so we were able to depart and arrive on time, and I enjoyed it without any issues. However, the dryness on the bus was severe, and my throat started to hurt. I was wearing a mask, but it was still quite dry, so I wished there was a way to improve that.

ほぼバスだけのツアーだったので、時間通りに発着できたし、問題なく楽しめました。
バスの乾燥がひどく、喉が痛くなりました。マスクをしていましたが、それでも結構な乾燥だったので、どうにかなればなーと思いました。
