All Reviews for Tickets

It was very beautiful and interesting show. As foriegner I didn't understand anything from songs, but I want to mention orchestra, very beautiful melodies. I enjoyed the show. Thank you!

As my heading states the show was great and the seats were perfect, we were sitting on the wing with a perfect eye level view of the stage.

We were very happy with the show and even more pleased we had the opportunity to be a part of the annual dance performance. The final act was beautifully done with Maikos and Geishas. The tea ceremony was quite rushed and did not resemble a traditional Japanese tea ceremony. Overall a real authentic cultural experience, without any pictures as they were not allowed.

The bus ride is fine for a speedy trip through parts of Tokyo. We had good weather, but I would not do this in the rain. The guide was a bit out of sync at some points and cut the commentary short when you went past locations at higher speeds. It was a good intro to Tokyo, but I am not sure I would recommend it for the price.

Unfortunately, rain was pouring down this day. We got all wet on the bus. Can only visit Asakusa Temple. Not a memorable day to speak off.

There were some people lined up at the entrance but we were able to check in without waiting since we'd made an advance reservation through veltra! The cafe was relatively small but very cozy and they had tatami seats that you could enjoy your drink. It took me a while to get comfortable enough to pet them, but when I did, I found out they’re really soft and ADORABLE. The attentive staff would place the owl on your shoulder or head if you like! This owl cafe guarantees you a truly amazing experience. Don't forget your camera!

On the weekend I went with friends to an owl cafe for the first time in Harajuku. The staff were very nice and tried hard to speak English with us.
The owls were really cute. You can touch them and even let them perch on your arm. One owl named Haku perched on my hat and refused to move! haha If I have the chance, I'd like to go again!

這次去原宿的貓頭鷹咖啡真是太高興了，貓頭鷹都好可愛。可以摸它們，還可以放在手上，真是意猶未盡！下次來日本時一定還要再來！

This was my first time went to an owl cafe in Japan, the shop was a bit small but very very cozy. We spent nearly one hour with those cute owls, most of them were very social and let us touch them, we even put them on our hand or shoulder. This was a very good experience, and we highly recommend it to everyone.

It's my second time to go to an owl cafe.
The cafe is pretty near the JR harajyuku station. It is small but lovely.
And the staffs are friendly, too. They can also speak a little English and they provide English instructions to read, so there's no need to worry!
Off course the owls are so lovely! We all had a great time with these cute owls.
And I would love to take my other friends to visit them again!

Enjoyed our time on the hop on, hop off bus. The first loop we did was Asakusa course and got off and on the busses at different stops. We were able to see some major sights and the time in between the bus returns was reasonable with about an hour time frame. We then did the Odaiba Course and only got off at a one stop since the time frame was over an hour for the next bus and it was getting late. We enjoyed having the transportation around Tokyo since it was our first time there and it helped us determine what sites we would like to return to the next few days using the subways. I would highly recommend this tour for first time guests in Tokyo.

Hop on Hop off is the best way to Tour Tokyo when on a limited time. It gives you enough information of the sites as you go around the city. They also have 3 selections for Tour routes which you can access. Also allows you to go around without having to use the subways.

Since there is no time restriction, it is helpful during travel. The cake set is included, so I was satisfied to enjoy some tea as well.

時間の指定がないので、旅行の際には助かります。　ケーキセットもついているのでお茶もでき満足しでした。

we enjoyed our sightseeing, cllimate was just right as we cross the rainbow bridge. we discovered so many things about Japan's diff locations, very informative and helpful to in selecting places we want to explore on our limited time in Tokyo. we were glad that we book hop on hop off.

I was able to leisurely take in the view of Sapporo city. Since it's on the 38th floor, the height isn't too extreme, but the access from the station building and restaurant floor makes it easy to enjoy the night view after dinner. As a woman, I was disappointed that I couldn't see the men's restroom (laughs), but my husband was impressed by the openness.

札幌市内をまったり一望できました。38階なのでそれ程高度はありませんが、駅ビル内・レストラン階からのアクセスなので夕食後にちょっと夜景でも、と気軽に楽しめます。
当方女性なので男子トイレを見れなかったのが残念ですが(笑)開放感に旦那は感動してました。

When coming in to any new place to visit, we look for bus tours such as this. The tour was informative and gave us an idea of places we would want to return to and explore fully. The staff was friendly and helpful. I was worried about using a service such as Veltra but I had no problems whatsoever. We plan on doing the bus tour again when friends visit and using Veltra. Highly recommend!

It was good and on time. Although it rained in the morning when we rode the open air bus.

The time between the buses is too long, 70 min. You can't make even two full routes in one day. If the time was 30 min, then it'll be possible.

I took the Tokyo Sky Bus during my first day in Tokyo and it was worth it! It gave me an overview of Tokyo and that's when I decided where I wanted to go for the rest of my stay.

What a great way to tour and navigate around the tourist spots of Tokyo. The open top makes for good views of the city and landscape. We took full advantage of the 1 day pass, hopping off at different points in the city. We started Friday afternoon until Saturday afternoon. Our favorite stop was Asakusa Kanakawado the closest stop to the Senso-ji Temple. We ended up there both days to see even more sites. The wait time between buses was enough to explore and hop back on. Three routes cover a vast area and you probably need more than a day pass. This is a great way to maximize your time in Toyko, you don’t have to figure out a complicated metro map or wonder when you get out of the metro station which direction your destination is in. The audio guide was informative and staff member was available to answer your questions. For those who like the double-decker bus experience, you won't be disappointed.

The ticket we bought was valid for 24 hours so we used it for 2 days. We started at 4 in the afternoon and continued on until the next day. The service was very efficient. I missed the bus in just a matter of 30 seconds as it drove right past me. I was not prepared to run after it. It was no big deal as I caught the next one since I was in no rush. I had a schedule with me so I was able to get a nice cup of coffee and shopped for a bit and made sure I was there at least 10 minutes before schedule! You need to plan your route and sight seeing carefully.

I went on 2 routes. The Tokyo Sky Tree and the Odaiba route. Both had their own charms. Would recommend the Odaiba route after sunset and the Sky tree route during the day. The Odaiba route was very scenic at night because of the rainbow bridge , Tokyo Tower and the skyline was just breath taking. Hopped off at the Tokyo Sky Tree the next day. Went up the tower for the amazing view. I was there pretty early I suppose hence the queue was not bad at all. The stop was pretty close by and if you could not find your way back to the bus stop, just ask people around you. Everyone was extremely helpful. Japanese would go out of their way to show you where the bus stop is. They would physically bring you there. You just tell them it’s the sky hop on hop off bus and they will bring you there.

If you are tight for time, and want to see as much of Tokyo as you can in that short period of time, this would be your best shot. I had a great time. My time in Tokyo was limited so I was glad I got on this tour bus.

The one we got on was an open top. Super punctual. The bus would be comfortable on a good day since there are no seats available downstairs. Therefore there’s limited space when it rains. Only 4 seats in the front row is covered while the rest is open hence the chances of getting those 4 seats? Very very very slim. And those who gets the seats in front would not hop off the bus. Our experience was 2 teenagers hogged all 4 front row seats to themselves.
Apart from the rain, it would have been a wonderful experience. You get to see so many interesting sites which we would not have seen by metro underground such as the Tokyo tower, the rainbow bridge, and the sky tree. This would have been the perfect tour on a lovely sunny weather. We sat towards the front of the bus… so we were sheltered from the strong winds, not the rain. I could not imagine sitting in the back in the wet, cold and with the freezing wind blowing. I glad we got shielded from the wind at least. However we saw some Japanese school kids at the back having an awesome time with the strong wind blowing in their faces, taking selfies, laughing and having so much fun.
The bus was not full perhaps because of the weather. We had 3 children under 5 in which we bought tickets for them too because if you do not, they would have to be seated on your lap. However if you have hyper active children… perhaps being on your lap could be a safer choice. Our kids enjoyed the ride and the view. When they are tired, they could just sleep comfortably leaning on you without falling over as the bus ride was very smooth! The driver was excellent. Even my daughter who is prone to motion sickness felt super.
Overall, it was a good experience. The commentary played correctly, at the correct venue and it was pretty informative. The adults appreciated the commentary while the kids enjoyed the view.

The JR Tower is located near Sapporo Station, and it's easy to find your way to the tower. However, I did get a bit lost trying to find the reception area inside the tower. I asked an employee at a nearby hotel for directions.

Inside the tower, there are restaurants and a decent number of customers. While I think there are many good places to eat in Sapporo, dining here might also be a nice option.

After checking in, I took the elevator to the observation deck, which had some interesting features. There was a map of Sapporo superimposed with Tokyo and New York on the wall. It was a bit hard to understand without an explanation, but I assume it was meant to show the size of Sapporo. I could somewhat grasp the scale, but having a description would have made it better.

Once I reached the top, the night view spread out before me, and it was very beautiful. I could see the grid-like layout of the city, reminiscent of Kyoto, which was impressive. There was also a small café on the observation deck.

The night view was truly lovely. It seems to be open late, so it might be a good idea to visit during a little free time.

JRタワーは札幌駅の近くにあり、タワー近くへは迷わず行けます。ただ、タワー内の受付場所に行くのには少々迷いました。近くのホテルの従業員のかたに教えていただきました。
タワー内にはレストランなどもあり、そこそこお客さんがいらっしゃいました。札幌市内に良いお店はたくさんあること思いますが、こちらで食べるのもよいかっもしれませんね。
受付をして展望台へ向かうエレベーターに乗りましたが、エレベーター内にも工夫がされていました。札幌市の地図と東京・ニューヨークを重ねたものが壁に貼られていました。説明文がなくわかりにくかったのですが、おそらく札幌市の大きさを示そうとされていたのかなと・・・。なんとなく大きさが伝わってきましたが、説明文があったほうがより良かったですね。
そして、実際に登ると、一面に夜景が広がっており、とても綺麗でした。京都に倣った碁盤の目の街並みが見え、圧巻でした。展望台の階にはちょっとしたカフェもありました。
夜景はとても素敵でした。遅くまで営業されてるようですし、ちょっとした隙間時間に訪れてもよいかもしれません。

The lack of a roof and the high position provided a great view. When we drove on the Metropolitan Expressway, it was thrilling and really raised my spirits. We stopped for a while where we could see the Tokyo Skytree straight ahead, so we were able to take some great photos. However, you need to dress warmly because it gets cold with the wind rushing by.

屋根が無く、高い位置なので、眺めはとても良かったです。
首都高速道路を走った時は、迫力があってテンションが上がりました。スカイツリーが正面に見える所で長めに止まったので、写真もバッチリ撮れました。
ただ、防寒はしっかりしていないと、風を切って走るので寒いです。

On the last day of my first trip to Hokkaido, I had a little extra time, so I stopped by before my flight. Perhaps because of the timing, it was very quiet, and I was able to leisurely take a stroll around. The scenery was beautiful, so I went around again, and I could see places I had visited during my trip, which allowed me to reminisce about my journey that wasn't quite over yet. I entered after 3:30 PM, and it was very impressive to see the transition from the daytime cityscape to the night view. You can get a panoramic view of Sapporo, but the best part was seeing Sapporo Tower directly below and the ski resorts in the distance.

There was a shop on the observation floor selling drinks and desserts, where I bought Sapporo beer and ice cream and relaxed in a chair by the window. Enjoying a drink while gazing at the beautiful scenery was truly exceptional. Since I had seen the night view from the Sapporo TV Tower the night before, I didn't have high expectations for the view this time, but the JR Tower was taller and had larger windows, so the scenery was really great. I ended up with wonderful memories, and I definitely want to stop by again next time I'm in Sapporo to enjoy the view while drinking Sapporo beer. I highly recommend it to everyone, so please make sure to visit!

初めての北海道旅行の最終日、時間が少し余ったので帰りの飛行機に乗る前に立ち寄ったのですが時間帯が良かったのかとても空いていてのんびりと一周、景色が良かったのでもう一周し各方面を眺めていると旅行中立ち寄った場所もよく見えたのでまだ終わっていない旅の思い出に浸れました。 15:30過ぎから入りましたが昼の街並みから夜景に変わってゆく様子が見れてとても印象に残りました。札幌を一望出来ますが一番良かったのは真下に札幌タワーや遠くにスキー場などが見える方面でした。 展望階に飲み物やデザートを販売しているお店があり、そこでサッポロビールとアイスを購入し窓際の椅子でゆっくり出来ました。 美しい景色を眺めながらの一杯は本当に格別でした、前日に札幌TV塔で夜景を見た後だったので 夜景の時間ではない分あまり期待はしていなかったのですがJRタワーの方が高く窓も大きいからか景色がとても良く最後に良い思い出が出来ました、次回札幌に来るときにも必ず寄ってサッポロビールを飲みながら景色を楽しみたいと思いました。 皆さんにもオススメ出来ますので是非立ち寄ってみてください。

Since I visited during the day last time, I was looking forward to enjoying the night view this time. I took the elevator from Stella Place to the 6th floor and headed to the entrance of the observation deck. It was a cold day with snow falling during the day, but I wasn't particularly worried about the night view. However, the receptionist told me, "It was completely invisible until just a moment ago." It seemed I had good timing as the snow had stopped. I went around 8 PM, and perhaps because it was a weekday, it wasn't crowded at all, with only a few customers. Some Asian guests were still around, as usual, but there were also several young couples sitting and relaxing. As for the view, it was completely different from what I experienced during the day, so it was great to experience both. When you think of Sapporo, the TV Tower is famous, but from this tower, you can look down on the beautifully lit TV Tower. The straight road leading from Odori to Susukino was also beautiful with the car lights. From the tower, you can see in all directions, and the jump hill at Okurayama was strangely bright. The view of the trains entering Sapporo Station below looked like tiny dots, which was impressive. There’s also a café, and since it’s quiet, I thought it might actually be a hidden gem for a relaxing time.

前回昼間に訪れたので今回は夜景を楽しみに行きました。ステラプレイスからエレーベーターで6階まで行きそこから展望室の入口へ。昼は雪が降る寒い日でしたが特に夜景のことは心配していなかったのですが受付けのお姉さんが「さっきまで全然見えなかったんですよ」と教えてくれました。雪が止み好いタイミングだったようです。20時頃行ったのですが平日のせいか以外にも混雑もなくお客さんもまばら。某アジア系のお客さんは相変わらずどこにでもいるようでこちらにもちらほら。他は若いカップルの方達が数組いすに座って寛いで居ました。眺望はというと前回の昼間とは全く異なった景色を楽しめたので両方体験出来良かったです。札幌というとテレビ塔が有名ですがこのタワーからだとライトアップしたテレビ塔をすっかり見下ろす感じで観られます。そして大通りからすすきの方面への真っ直ぐに続く道路も車のライトと相まって光がきれいでした。タワーからは360度見渡せ大倉山のジャンプ台方面がほの白く明るかったのが不思議な明るさで、真下に札幌駅に入線してくる電車が豆粒の様に見えた景色も印象的でした。カフェもあり静かなので実はのんびり過ごせる穴場かなと思いました。

We had a great experience with Veltra... we bought the ticket and was very easy to find the location to exchange the tickets. The tour was awesome, always on time, clean bus with pleasant people and good information about the city. We had a great time in Tokyo and we discovered many places in Tokyo that probably we wouldn't find without this tour. Our main highlight was the Skytree tower (the tower has 2 levels, we went to both, they charge each level separated, but was worth to visit both), Asakusa temple (we spent a lot of time there, beautiful location and lots of shopping), Tokyo Tower (also has 2 levels, we just visited one as the second level was closed due the winds), and many more. Highly recommended tour. We really enjoyed it.

I stopped by during my business trip to Hokkaido in February. I spent an hour at the observation deck until my train departure. It had snowed heavily the night before, but the access was very good since it is directly connected to the station, allowing me to avoid getting my shoes dirty. This was very convenient.

Although it was a Sunday afternoon, the observation deck seemed quite empty. I was able to enjoy a panoramic view of Sapporo city, beautifully sparkling with snow, and relax at the end of my trip. There is a café bar on-site, and that day, a group of senior men was happily chatting near the café corner. I thought that if I have the chance again, I would like to enjoy some alcohol while watching the sunset and night view.

Many seats are arranged in spacious areas, making it a great place for reading or just relaxing without doing anything. Additionally, the men's restroom is fantastic, and I highly recommend experiencing the open and spacious facilities. On the way to the observation deck via the elevator, I also enjoyed listening to music that mimicked the sounds of space, which was fun.

2月の北海道出張の際に立ち寄りました。
電車の時間までの1時間を展望台で過ごしました。
前夜まで大雪が降った後でしたが、駅に直結しているためアクセスがとても良く、足元が汚れずに済みました。これは大変便利でした。
展望台は日曜の午後でしたが、とても空いているように見えました。雪で美しく輝く札幌市内が一望でき、旅の最期をのんびりと過ごすことができました。
カフェバーが併設されており、この日はカフェコーナー近くでシニアの男性グループが楽しそうに談笑していました。次また機会があればアルコールをいただきながら日没〜夜景の景色を眺めたいな、と思いました。
多くの座席がゆったりしたスペースに配置されて、読書や何もせずにボーッと過ごすのも良さそうです。更に男性トイレが素晴らしく、開放的なトイレを是非体験して貰いたいです。
展望台へのエレベーターでのアクセスの途中でも、宇宙の音を模した音楽を聴いているので楽しかったです。

Difficult to purchase correct ticket on internet. Ticket clerk totally inflexible when we requested travel on the non stop bus in stead of the hop on hop off. Same company, same busses, plenty of free seats on both busses but it was IMPOSSIBLE to change ticket. I think you need to be a bit flexible. Not sure I would recommend to a friend. I have used open top bus in London & New York. A lot more user friendly.

We visited during Snow Festival early February and it was fantastic view
