All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

I participated with my parents. We enjoyed the well-chosen sightseeing spots, the polite interactions between the tour guide and the driver, and the perfect amount of free time. I often visit Nara on my own, but I appreciated the efficiency of the bus tour in covering the famous sites within a limited time. The VR experience was very interesting, and my elderly parents enjoyed it as well. The check-in service at Nara Kotsu was also smooth and good.

両親を連れて参加しました。ポイントを押さえた観光スポット、添乗員さんと運転手さんの丁寧なやりとり、程よい自由時間と、とても楽しませて頂きました。個人で奈良にはよく行きますが、限られた時間で効率よく名所を回れるバスツアーのありがたみを感じました。VRはとても面白く、高齢の両親も楽しんでいました。
また奈良交通さんの当日チェックインの窓口対応もスムーズで良かったです。

They tailored the itinerary to my preferences in advance, and even during the drive to the sightseeing spots, there were detailed explanations about the destinations. At the sightseeing locations, there were clear and enjoyable explanations about the key points to see and great photo spots, making it a very satisfying trip. Thank you very much.

あらかじめどういう行程にするか希望に合わせてくださり、観光場所に向かう車内でも、行く先の詳しい解説がありました。観光場所でも、観るポイント、良い写真スポット、わかりやすくて楽しい解説があり、たいへん満足した旅行になりました。どうもありがとうございました。

The taxi driver not only drove safely but also provided a very detailed and polite guide about the temples and history.

タクシードライバーさんは、安全運転はもちろん、とても丁寧に詳しくお寺や歴史などガイドしてくださいました。

The bus guide and driver were very kind and were a great help with transportation on the way back. Hōryū-ji Temple exuded an atmosphere that made it feel as if I had traveled back to the Asuka period just by standing there. Although the grounds are spacious, they are relatively compact, so I hardly got tired from walking. The ancient statues and Buddhist implements remaining in their original state were mystical and left a lasting impression on me.

バスガイドとドライバーさんはとても親切な方で帰りの交通手段等で大変助かりました。法隆寺はそこに佇んだだけでまるで飛鳥時代に来たかのような雰囲気を醸し出してました。広い境内ではありますが 比較的コンパクトにまとまっていて 歩いて疲れる事はほとんどありませんでした。古代の仏像 仏具がそのままの状態で残っているのが神秘的で印象に残りました。

The bus guide walked with us and provided guidance, and her voice was very loud, so we could hear her even from a distance. She was also very kind and gave clear explanations. However, it felt like there was a bit too little free time, so it's better to think about the places you want to visit in advance.

バスガイドさんが 一緒に歩いて案内してくれ とても声も大きくて 離れても分かります。そして とても親切で分かりやすい説明してくれます。ただ 自由時間は少し足りない感じもあるので 前もって自分で行く場所等 考えておいた方が良いです。

I wanted to go to Hōryū-ji and did some research, but it seemed difficult to get there since it's in a hard-to-reach location. Given my time constraints, using trains or buses seemed challenging. In the midst of this, I found Hattori Taxi's sightseeing taxi service and was lucky enough to make a reservation.

As expected, traveling by taxi was very quick and comfortable, and the driver's knowledge was incredibly deep, which impressed me greatly. Moreover, even though my schedule was packed with Hōryū-ji and Yakushi-ji, they adjusted to my wishes and took me to Shin-Yakushi-ji, which is famous for curing eye diseases, allowing me to pray there.

Thanks to this, I had a very meaningful four and a half hours. Thank you very much.

法隆寺に行きたくて、色々調べたのですが、行きにくい場所にあるので…時間の制限ある中では電車やバスを使う方法は大変そうでした。そんな中、服部タクシーの観光タクシーを見つけて、ラッキーにも予約することができました。
期待通り、タクシーでの移動はとても早く快適でしたし、運転手さんの知識が大変に造詣深くて、感激感心しました。
しかも、法隆寺と薬師寺で私の予定時間はいっぱいだったのに、こちらの希望に合わせて、眼病平癒で有名な新薬師寺まで回ってくれて、祈願することができました。
おかげで、とても有意義な4時間半になりました。ありがとうございました。

I am very satisfied with the tour, thanks to the guide's exceptional knowledge and wealth of information. Additionally, there was plenty of time, which was great. Thank you for the opportunity to have a second school trip. I would like to use your services again next time. Thank you very much.

ガイドさんの卓越した知識と豊富な情報力にツアーに参加して大変満足しています。又時間的にも余裕があり、大変良かったです。第2回目の修学旅行ができありがとうございました。次回も利用したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

I signed up for a solo trip to Nara, wanting to efficiently visit the temples while listening to explanations. On the day of the tour, there was another solo participant, and I appreciated that the seating arrangement at the lunch venue was considerate, rather than just sharing leftover seats.

In addition to explanations about World Heritage sites and national treasures, I learned a lot from the guide's highlights on the beautiful aspects of the Buddha statues, and I also heard about the local history during the bus rides. The bus driving was very careful as well.

There was ample time to receive my goshuin (temple stamp), making it a very satisfying tour!

奈良への1人旅で、寺院を解説を聞きながら効率的に回りたいと思い申し込みました。
当日は他にも1人参加の方もいらした上、昼食会場も余った席に相席ではなく、配慮された席配置で有り難かったです。

世界遺産や国宝の解説に加えて仏像の「ココが素敵だ」というガイドさんの推しポイントや、バス移動中は地域の歴史なども聞け、大変学びがありました。
バスの運転も丁寧でした。

御朱印を頂く時間もしっかりあり、大満足のツアーでした！

It was a meaningful sightseeing experience because they pointed out things I would have missed on my own. The guide was entertaining, so I enjoyed myself even while traveling alone. The driver was also very kind, moving the bus to convenient spots. Thank you for your help.

自分だけでは見逃してしまうポイントを教えてくれるので、有意義な観光となりました。
ガイドさんが面白いので一人できても楽しめました。運転手さんも乗りやすい所にバスを移動してくれて、とても親切でした。
お世話になりました。

The explanations were enjoyable, and I was able to learn about history. The sightseeing spots were arranged comfortably, and I was well-informed about the highlights. I will definitely use this service again next time.

説明も楽しく歴史の勉強をさせてもらいました。見学場所もゆったりと組んでくれ、見どころもしっかり教えてもらいました。次回もた、利用させてもらいます。

In six hours, we visited Hōryū-ji, Jikō-in, Tōshōdai-ji, Yakushi-ji, Tōdai-ji, and viewed Hōki-ji, Hōrin-ji, and the ruins of Heijō-kyō from the car window. The driver was knowledgeable about history and religion, allowing us to learn while sightseeing. Additionally, he was flexible in adjusting the course based on our requests.

６時間で法隆寺、慈光院、唐招提寺、薬師寺、東大寺、車窓から法起寺、法輪寺、平城京跡を巡りました。運転手の方は歴史、宗教に詳しく、勉強しながら観光することができました。また、当方のリクエストを聞いて柔軟にコースを組んでもらうことができました。

It was a tour in the cold rain. However, the guide's witty stories were very enjoyable, and I was impressed by their extensive knowledge of history. As expected of Nara, I felt the history there. I had visited the places during my school trip, but I had completely forgotten about them, so it was a great opportunity to revisit.

冷たい雨の中のツアーでした。が、　ガイドさんのウイットに富むお話がとても楽しく、　また歴史のことをものすごくご存じで感服しました。
さすが奈良　歴史を感じ昔修学旅行で回ったところでしたが全く覚えてなく再確認で乞いました。

The driver explained a vast amount of knowledge in a way that was easy for beginners to understand. They even provided quizzes, making it enjoyable even for those without a background in history. Additionally, I requested a change in plans on the day, and they responded flexibly, which I greatly appreciated. If we had been sightseeing on our own, it would have surely been a boring trip. Next time, I plan to study history and visit Nara again, hoping to discuss historical topics with the driver while sightseeing. Thank you very much for your help.

ドライバーさんの膨大な知識を素人でも分かりやすく説明してくださいました。
クイズも出してくださったり、歴史の知識がなくても楽しめました。
また、当日に予定変更をお願いしましたが、臨機応変に対応してくださり、とてもありがたかったです。
自分たちだけで観光していたらきっとつまらない旅になっていました。
今度は歴史の勉強をして、また奈良に伺い、ドライバーさんと歴史について話しながら観光したいと思っています。
本当にお世話になりました。

The guide was not only punctual but also delivered explanations that were almost masterful, allowing for a deep understanding of the World Heritage site, including its history and background. I also thought the cost performance, with the entrance fee and lunch included in the price, was excellent.

時間に正確な上、ガイドさんの説明はほぼ名人芸の域に達しており、歴史や背景を含めた世界遺産の深い理解が出来ました。
また拝観料や昼食が含まれた価格設定のコストパフォーマンスは素晴らしいと思いました。

Once again, we received a fun and attentive guide, and my grandchildren were very happy and enjoyed themselves. Although time was limited, we were able to see almost everything we hoped to. Thank you very much.

今回も楽しく丁寧な案内をしていただき孫たちもすごく楽しかったと喜んでくれました。時間が限られていましたがほとんど希望通りに見て回られました。ありがとうございました。

The tour was efficient, with no wasted time, and the content was rich. Our guide, Ms. Anase, was incredibly knowledgeable, spoke fluently, and paid attention to even the smallest details—she was a perfect guide. If I had to say something, it would be that a higher quality lunch would have been even better, but considering the price, I think it's understandable.

効率よく回れて、全く時間の無駄がなく、　内容も濃く、ガイドのあなせさんがまた知識豊かで、澱みなくお話しされ、細かなところまで良く気がつくという完璧ガイドさんでした。
強いて言えば昼食のグレードがもう一段高いと尚良かったが、この価格を考えると、致し方ないかと思います。

The driver was very kind and polite, which was a great help. I was able to learn a lot about history as well. I would like to participate again.

ドライバーさんが、とっても優しくて丁寧で助かりました。歴史も沢山勉強出来ました。また参加してみたいです。

I took my parents in their 70s on a sightseeing trip. Hōryū-ji, Yakushi-ji, and Tōshōdaiji are far from Kintetsu Nara Station, and it would be difficult for my elderly parents to navigate by bus, so I arranged for a sightseeing taxi in advance.

On the day of the tour, they arrived at our hotel early to pick us up, and we confirmed the itinerary before setting off. Since it was a private tour, we were able to communicate our preferences regarding the time spent at each temple and whether we wanted to view some places only from the car, which made for a smooth experience. Unfortunately, it started to rain heavily in the latter part of the tour, and we could only view Tōshōdaiji from the car, but they creatively used the extra time to show us burial mounds and the ruins of Heijō-kyō from the vehicle, making it a very enjoyable sightseeing experience.

You can fully enjoy the temple visits without worrying about the travel routes. I highly recommend it.

70代の両親を連れて観光しました。
法隆寺、薬師寺、唐招提寺は近鉄奈良駅から離れており、個人で回るにはバスなどの乗り継ぎになるため、高齢の親にとっては難しく、あらかじめ観光タクシーをお願いしました。

当日はホテルまで早めにお迎えに来ていただいており、コースの確認などもしていただきながら出発しました。貸切のため、それぞれのお寺の時間配分や車窓のみで済ましたい、など希望もお伝えしながらスムーズにご案内いただきました。観光の後半あたりから大雨になってしまい、唐招提寺は車窓のみになったのですが、時間が余った分は古墳や平城京跡などを車窓から見せていただくなど工夫していただきとてもよい観光となりました。

移動のルートなどを気にせずゆっくりお寺の観光を満喫できます。おすすめです。

I was able to see everything without wasting any time after I communicated the places I wanted to visit. The driver's knowledge was also sufficient.

見学したい所を始めに伝えたところ、無駄無く全て見ることが出来ました。
ドライバーの知識も十分でした。

On the first day of my trip, I dropped off my luggage at a hotel in front of Nara Station and was able to visit famous spots that beginners in Nara should see during the afternoon tour. It's much better than going on my own because I could listen to the guide's insightful stories, and since the admission fees were included, there was no hassle. I highly recommend it.

旅行初日、奈良駅前のホテルに荷物を預け、午後からのツアーで奈良初心者が行くべき有名どころを回る事ができました。個人で行くよりもガイドさんの的を得たお話を聞く事ができますし、拝観料なども込み込みなので煩わしさもありません、とてもお勧めです。

The veteran guide's explanations were impressive! I learned a lot about the history of Hōryū-ji and various other things, and I'm really glad I chose a guided tour. The guide also pointed out great spots for taking photos, and I was able to capture some beautiful pictures!

ベテランガイドさんの説明はさすがでした～法隆寺の歴史や色々なことがよくわかり、やはりガイド付きのツアーにして良かったと思います。写真を撮るのにいい場所も教えていただけて見栄えのいい写真が取れました！。

Horyu-ji was inconvenient to access by public transportation, so a half-day guided tour was just right. The group size was not too large, and I was able to enjoy a leisurely and fulfilling sightseeing experience on a weekday morning. This was my first solo trip, but I had fun exploring my favorite spots in the afternoon as well. I recommend the half-day course as it was quite good.

I arrived at Nara Station from Kanagawa and joined the tour right away, but I couldn't find the tour reception location from the information email, so I went to the meeting place first. It wasn't mentioned in the instructions that the reception was just outside the station ticket gate, which was disappointing as I ended up going the wrong way.

法隆寺が公共交通機関では不便な所でしたので、半日でガイド付きが丁度良かったです。
参加人数も多すぎず、平日午前でゆっくり充実した観光ができました。今回初のソロトリでしたが、午後も好きな所だけ回って楽しみました。半日コースもなかなか良いのでお勧めです
　神奈川から朝奈良駅に着いて直ぐの参加でしたが、ツアー受付場所が案内メールからは分からなく、先に集合場所に行ってしまいました。受付場所が、駅改札出て直ぐの場所であった事は案内には無かったので、無駄足してしまいその点は残念です。

I recommend to many people on Earth the significance of reflecting on history. Heritage does not require logic to feel the enthusiasm of our predecessors. We, who live in the present, must each be aware of the importance of expressing ourselves from the heart. We will practice acts of kindness.

歴史を振り返る意義を多くの地球人に勧めます。遺産は先人の熱意をかんじとる客観で理屈必要てしません。現代に生きる私達は心から発信すること一人一人が自覚することです。思いやりの行動を実践します。

Hōryū-ji was my first visit to a temple since my elementary school field trip, and I was able to explore efficiently with few other tourists around, which allowed for a calm sightseeing experience. The guide's explanations were also great. It was nice that they provided umbrellas when it started to rain.

法隆寺は小学校の修学旅行以来、他のお寺は初めて行くところでしたが、効率よくまわれ、他の観光客も少なかったので落ち着いて観光できました。ガイドさんの説明もよかったです。途中雨が降ってきた時には傘の貸し出しもよかったです。

The guide was knowledgeable, and I was captivated by their smooth storytelling, allowing for a fulfilling temple tour. I was moved by the beauty of the gardens at Jiko-in, and the autumn leaves were beautiful everywhere. Thank you to the driver for their safe driving.

ガイドさんが知識豊富で、流れるようなお話しに聞き惚れながら、充実したお寺巡りができました。慈光院の庭園の美しさに感動、そして紅葉がどこもきれいでした。安全運転してくださった運転手さん、ありがとうございました。

I had a great time on the course that allowed me to fully enjoy the places I wanted to visit! I'm grateful for the safe driving and the easy-to-understand tour guide. ✨

行きたい場所を満喫出来るコースで、
とても楽しめました！！
安全運転・聞きやすい添乗員さまに
感謝です✨

I used this service for my long-awaited trip to Nara. The driver was kind, and we were able to efficiently visit three locations, so I’m glad I made the reservation.

久しぶりの奈良観光で利用させていただきました。
運転手の方も親切で、3箇所を効率良く回れて予約して良かったです。

There was no congestion on the way to the destination, and we were able to tour smoothly. The guide's explanations of the sightseeing spots and historical sites were also easy to understand.

目的地迄の混雑もなく、順調に周遊する事が出来ました。またガイドさんの観光地の名勝旧跡の説明もわかりやすく理解出来ました。

This time, I was guided to Hōryū-ji and Tōshōdai-ji, and then we returned to the Naramachi area. Near Tōdai-ji, I was taken by taxi to a location that is difficult to walk to. It was a great help for elderly people who find it challenging to walk even a little. Thank you very much.

　今回は法隆寺・唐招提寺に案内していただき、ならまち付近まで戻って東大寺付近で、歩いていくと行きにくい場所までタクシーで乗せて案内していただきました。ちょっとでも歩くのが大変な老人には助かりました。ありがとうございました。

It was a bit early for the autumn leaves, but it was great to be able to sightsee without walking too much by taking a taxi. The Jōruri-ji Temple, which we visited on short notice, was quiet and a very nice place. I would like to request the same driver next time.

紅葉には　少し早かったけれど、タクシーで　あまり歩かないで　観光できて良かったです。
急遽　変更して連れて行ってもらった浄瑠璃寺は　静かで　とても良い所でした。
次回も　同じ運転手さんでお願いしたいと思います。
