Great touring services!

Reviewed by: Carol

Had a great tour with a private chartered taxi. Our driver-guide Taka was very helpful, friendly, accommodating, and funny. We are very happy to be with his company and we hope to meet him again in the future of our Japan trips.

  • Had a wonderful touring experience with Taka..:)

【貸切】縄文杉トレッキングツアー グループや自分たちだけでマイペースにトレッキングしたい方におすすめ レンタル装備付きプランあり by 屋久島ガイドツアー

Private guided tour for trekking Jomon Sugi. 縄文杉トレッキングツアー貸切ガイド付き

Reviewed by: ともりん

Thank you for responding quickly to the sudden schedule change.
I was guided by a young and cute guide with a group of five mountain girls from Kansai.
Not only did we get explanations, but we also had a lot of fun taking photos together.
At lunch, we were served warm miso soup, which helped us power up.
On the way back, I might have walked harder than ever to catch the 5:30 bus.
Everyone was able to board the bus safely.
It's a pity that I wanted to get a little closer to Jomon Sugi...
However, safety first for both Jomon Sugi and humans.

This tour was exhausting, but it was really enjoyable!♪♪

急な日程の変更にも迅速に対応していただいたき、ありがとうございました
関西の山ガール?5人組に、若くて可愛らしいガイドさんに案内していただきました
説明はもちろんですが、写真を撮ってもらったりと、とても楽しく歩けました
お昼には、温かいお味噌汁を出してくれてパワーアップできました
帰りは5時30分のバスに間に合うよう、人生で一番頑張って歩いたかも〜〜
全員、無事にバスに乗る事ができました
残念なのは、縄文杉にもう少し近くまで行きたかったなぁと…
しかし、縄文杉にも、人間にも安全第一ですね

今回のツアー、ヘロヘロにはなりましたが、とても楽しかったです♪♪

Fun tour!

Reviewed by: Becky

We had a fun time. The clouds cleared and we had a beautiful view of the mountain. Food was great, and our guide Nori is awesome :). The only down sides were the long lines at Mt. Fuji station and for the ropeway. We had the Japan Rail pass, so I scheduled a bus return with drop-off at Odawara and we just used our passes to take the bullet train back to Tokyo.

A trip to Shirakawa-go and Gokayama. 白川郷、五箇山の旅

Reviewed by: さくら

I participated with friends from China in Singapore. I decided to join a day trip from Kanazawa the day before the tour, and the reservation process was easy and straightforward. I initially planned to go by bus on my own, but the morning and evening reservations were already full. The tour had 40% Japanese and 60% foreigners, with both Japanese and English guides, and it was extremely enjoyable. The small group created a friendly atmosphere that was fantastic. The guidance on how to explore Shirakawa-go and Gokayama was clear and easy to understand!!! The guide and driver from Kanazawa created a great atmosphere, and their desire to make sure everyone had a good time was evident. I made wonderful memories with my friends. Thank you very much!!!

縄文杉と白谷雲水峡(苔むす森 & 太鼓岩)2日間トレッキングツアー by 屋久島の輪

I almost retired. あやうく、リタイア(^-^;)

Reviewed by: MIMIK

Although I usually don't exercise much, I signed up casually, but the 22 kilometers and 10 hours and 15 minutes of perfect climbing were so hard that I almost had to retire midway. Thanks to everyone's encouragement and our local main guide, Taniyama, who carried my luggage, I was able to complete it safely! I'm just so grateful! ♪( ´▽`)

Yakushima has rain two-thirds of the year, and the mountain weather reportedly has a low rate of clear skies, but fortunately, it was a beautiful sunny day! ♪ I canceled the half-day trip to Shiratani Unsuikyo the next day due to a sore throat and heavy rain in the morning, but it was still a satisfying experience. Thank you very much.

普段、ほとんど運動をしていないのに、氣軽に申し込んでしまいましたが、22キロ、10時間15分の完璧なる登山で、あまりにハードだった為、途中でリタイアしそうに。皆さんの励ましと、地元出身のメインガイドのタニヤマさんがわたしの荷物を背負って下さったお陰で、無事にコンプリートできました!もう感謝でしかありません♪( ´▽`)

屋久島は年間2/3が雨で、しかも山の天候は晴天率が低いらしいのですが、その日は快晴だったのもさいわいでした♪
翌日の白谷雲水峡半日の方は喉の痛みに加え、朝方豪雨だったこともありキャンセルしましたが、充分満足できる体験となりました。ありがとうございました。

Private Mt. Fuji & Hakone Tour with Lake Ashi Cruise & Optional Private Onsen

The most comfortable and relaxing way to see the sights and enjoy the views

Reviewed by: John Mackenzie

This tour was exceptional in that it was possible to select and change the itinerary as the day progressed. The tour guide spoke good English, was knowledgeable about the places we visited, and was happy and adept at discovering additional places to visit to fit our interests. In addition, the driver also spoke good English, drove well and safely, and also was helpful in support of the guide. We also had a very nice lunch in a beautiful and peaceful restaurant. All in all, this was without doubt the best tour we had in Japan.
The tour comprised a married couple and a friend - all fairly elderly, but the guide made sure we were able to see all the important sight seeing aspects of the tour.

Mt. Fuji & Hakone Tour from Tokyo with Lake Ashi Cruise & Ropeway Ride

It was very rushed, crowded experience.

Reviewed by: Sam&Cisco

We were picked up from a nearby hotel to our own hotel. we were picked up with a bus which goes to our actual transport bus. There were around 3 or four busses which were to same direction to mount FUJI all together 100 people only from the same company which is GRAY LINE.
First stop was mount Fuji 4th station. (We were told that 5th station was closed due to weather conditions, which is OK) however the problem was to enter 4th station it took 40 minutes, as I believe there were many other tours.
Super crowded, people were on top of each other to take pictures of Fuji view. The queue in front of the toilet was long impossible to use.
Indeed we were only given 20 minutes in the area.
By the time you get off and on the bus is already a lot of time passed.
After that next station was lunch break, it was given only 30 minutes, which I am glad we requested no lunch as well.
When we goy on the boat on lake Ashi, there was no place to sit down, boat was overcrowded obviously we stood indoors.
Overall I wanted to see mount FUJI close by which was done.
But it was rushed and very crowded. Tour guide was robotic overall no enthusiasm.
If you are OK with such tight schedule and dont mind being rushed everywhere it is alright.
I believe these kind of tours have a limited quota and not oversold just for money.
End of the day it was over 100 dollars per person still with no lunch.
You might better do the tour by yourself or pay more and find a private kinda tour.

I participated with my middle and high school children. While enjoying the scenery along the way, the guide kindly shared stories about the area, highlights of the spots we were heading to, and how to get around. We were able to enjoy our free time at a leisurely pace. The guide's interesting stories kept the children engaged and listening seriously.

The lunch was plentiful and very delicious. Despite having eaten pork buns, croquettes, and dumplings, the children finished everything. The hands-on experience of making senbei was also well-received.

I usually travel by car, and this was my first bus tour, but I felt like I could experience the land more leisurely than on my usual trips. I was delighted by the scenery of Shirakawa-go, which I had wanted to visit for many years.

The guide, interpreter, and driver were all warm and friendly, which made for a very pleasant experience. Although the weather was unfortunately rainy at times, thanks to the staff, I was able to enjoy myself thoroughly. Bus tours are great! I would like to use them again.

中高生の子供と参加しました。道中景色を見ながら、この地方の話、これから向かうスポットの見所、回り方をガイドさんが丁寧に話して下さり、自由行動もゆっくり楽しむことができました。ガイドさんが興味深いお話を上手にして下さるので、子供達も真剣に聞いていました。
お昼ご飯は量も多く、とても美味しかったです。子供達は豚まんやコロッケ、団子、、食べていたにも関わらず完食でした。せんべい手焼き体験も好評でした。
普段車での旅行で、バスツアーは初めてだったのですが、いつもの旅行より、ゆったりと土地を感じられた気がします。長年訪ねたかった白川郷、景色にほっこりとしました。
ガイドさん、通訳さん、運転手さん、温かく声をかけて下さり、とても気持ちが良かったです。あいにくの雨が降ったり止んだりの天気でしたが、スタッフの方々のおかげで、十分楽しめました。バスツアーいいですね。また利用したいと思いました。

軍艦島 上陸・周遊ツアー コンシェルジュが出港から帰港までたっぷり解説!午前・午後発から選択可<長崎市>by軍艦島コンシェルジュ

I'm really glad I went. 行って本当によかったです

Reviewed by: だっち

I wanted to sit in a seat with a good view, so I opted for the ticket that includes admission to the Gunkanjima Digital Museum, which comes with a priority boarding pass. However, if you're lucky, you might still get a good seat without it. The Gunkanjima Digital Museum was great, so I recommend the ticket that includes admission, even though it's more expensive. As long as it's during the museum's operating hours on the day of your visit, you can re-enter with the re-entry ticket you received.

First, I watched a video at the Digital Museum while listening to a guide who actually lived there. I heard some quite realistic stories. Then, like a field trip, we were guided in order of our numbers to the port for boarding. The outside seats have a great view, but they can be a bit cold and you might get splashed. They provide raincoats specifically for those seats, so I recommend wearing one for warmth; in fact, almost everyone was wearing one.

If you don't mind sacrificing photo opportunities for comfort, I think the inside seats are a good choice. Once we landed, we had a tour of the island led by a veteran guide who is around 80 years old and actually lived there. I heard interesting and engaging stories. The ruins are breathtaking, and it's no wonder they became a World Heritage site. Although we only had about an hour on the island, it was still enough time. I'm really glad I was able to land on Gunkanjima. The boat didn't sway as much as I expected.

Don't underestimate the Gunkanjima Digital Museum. There are some quite interesting exhibits and videos. I especially recommend the 360° VR experience in the restricted area on the third floor. Gunkanjima is definitely a place you should see. I highly recommend this tour.

Despite the unfortunate heavy rain, our guide provided thorough explanations even after we got off the bus. I really felt that the guide's timing and way of speaking were truly professional. (The guide from the company that conducted the stargazing tour, which was canceled the day before due to cloudy skies, was not as impressive during the night drive in Ishigaki Island... I couldn't help but smile wryly.) The guide took photos for us and showed us pictures of what it looks like on sunny days, which really helped to lighten the mood for us tourists who were disappointed by the bad weather. I would love to come back and do this tour again on a nice day! ^_^

あいにくの大雨でしたが、ガイドさんはバスを降りてからも丁寧に説明してくださいました。

Okinawa Packed Tour 沖縄詰め込みツアー

Reviewed by: のちこ

I booked this tour to the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium at the request of a friend who was visiting for the first time. Everything was included, so it was easy to just hop on the bus and go! The bus guide was very charming, providing commentary and even singing songs from the window, which was very soothing.

Since the time at the Churaumi Aquarium was limited, we had to rush a bit to see everything we wanted, but we were able to take plenty of photos, and I think there was enough time to explore. If you coordinate your timing, you could also catch the dolphin show and visit the dugong exhibit outside. Unfortunately, the beautiful beach near the aquarium that the guide recommended was closed due to the typhoon from the previous week, which was disappointing.

I was looking forward to the bridge to Kouri Island, and when I saw it from the bus, the bridge and the sea were so beautiful that it really lifted my spirits! There was plenty of time to take photos around the bridge, so I was satisfied.

At the Okashi Goten, you can buy the classic purple sweet potato tart and chinsuko. The freshly made purple sweet potato tart recommended by the guide is only available in limited places, so I highly recommend it! It was moist and delicious.

Manzamo and American Village didn't leave much of an impression on me. There wasn't much to see at American Village, so we went to a nearby Aeon to look for souvenirs. The souvenir section was well-stocked, so I think it's a good idea for those with extra time to visit Aeon!

Lunch is not included, so be careful as there aren't many places to eat besides the Churaumi Aquarium. We missed our timing and ended up taking American dogs and other snacks from the aquarium's shop to eat on the bus.

Overall, I was satisfied with how efficiently we were able to see various places! I recommend this tour for those who don't have a rental car or other means of transportation.

初めて沖縄に行く友達のリクエストで、美ら海水族館に行けるこちらのツアーを予約しました。
全て込み込みなので、バスに乗って移動するだけなので楽ちんでした!バスガイドの方がとても可愛らしい方で、車窓から見えるガイドや歌も歌って下さり、とても癒されました。美ら海水族館は時間が決まっていたため、見たいところを少し駆け足でという感じでしたが、写真もたくさん撮れましたし、十分に回れる時間だと思います。時間を合わせれば、イルカショーや外のジュゴン館も見れました。ただ、ガイドさんがおすすめしてくださった水族館近くの綺麗なビーチは、前の週の台風の影響で立ち入り禁止になっており、残念でした…。
古宇利島の橋も楽しみにしていたので、バスから見えた瞬間、橋と海がとっても綺麗で、テンションが上がりました!橋の周辺で写真を撮る時間もたくさんあったので満足です。
お菓子御殿は定番の紅芋タルトやちんすこうが買えます。ガイドさんもおすすめしていた出来立ての生紅芋タルト、限られたところでしか買えませんのでおすすめです!しっとりしていておいしかったです。
万座毛とアメリカンビレッジはあまり印象に残らなかったです…。アメリカンビレッジではあまり見るところがなかったので、近くのイオンにお土産を探しに行きました。お土産品コーナーも充実していたので、時間が余った方はイオンに行くのもいいと思います!
お昼は含まれていないので、美ら海水族館くらいしか食べる時間・場所がありませんので気を付けてください。私たちはタイミングを逃してしまい、美ら海水族館の売店でアメリカンドックなどをテイクアウトしてバスの中で食べました。
総合的に色々なところを効率よく観光できたので、満足でした!レンタカーなど移動手段がない方におすすめです。

I also understood the challenges of maintaining World Heritage sites and met people filled with love for their local community. Thank you very much!

地球と一体化しました。ガイドさんは、何でも詳しく感心しましたし、印象に残る、伝え方を心得ていてまた、もう一度ツアーを利用したいと感じました‼世界遺産の維持管理の大変さもわかり、地元愛に溢れた人々にお会いしました。ありがとうございました‼

美ら海水族館観光バスツアー 古宇利島+御菓子御殿+ナゴパイナップルパーク+万座毛をめぐる1日観光!ディナー付プランあり<那覇市・北谷・恩納村発/3歳以下無料>

I participated in a trip with my daughter. 娘と二人旅で参加

Reviewed by: こつこつ

On our trip for two, we considered renting a car, but since there was a shuttle service to the hotel, we decided to participate. At Pineapple Park, we had to move quickly to avoid running out of time, but we were able to enjoy plenty of tastings. For lunch, we had... hmm? This? A hot sandwich. It was cold, and I think everyone might have wondered if this was really lunch. The Churaumi Aquarium was a lot of fun, and three hours flew by. The Okashi Goten felt like a souvenir shop for tourists. The driver and guide were friendly and smiling. It turned out to be a fulfilling day. Thank you very much.

二人旅で、レンタカーと迷いましたが、ホテルまで送迎付きでしたので参加させていただきました。パイナップルパークはゆっくり見ていると時間がなくなるため、サクッと回りました。試飲、試食はたくさんできました。昼食は、ん?これ?ホットサンド。冷え冷えでこれで昼食付きとはうたっては、皆さんこれが?と思われたかもです。美ら海水族館は、3時間があっという間で、とても楽しめました。
お菓子御殿は観光地のお土産やさん。との感じでした。
運転手さん、ガイドさんは笑顔で感じは良かったです。充実した1日になりました。ありがとうございました。

Mt. Fuji & Hakone Tour from Tokyo with Lake Ashi Cruise & Ropeway Ride

Less than 24 hours and still got confirmation that's awesome!!

Reviewed by: Dawn

This tour was wonderful! I think the only downfall was because the weather was overcast so didn't get to see really good majestic pictures of Mt. Fuji but no fault of anyone but nature. LOL. The tour guide was very well versed in knowing all there was about cities, history, and spoke pretty good English. Everything went very smoothly and the traditional Japanese style lunch they planned was also right on point. I ate my very first and famously known black hard boiled egg straight from the site itself. Looking forward to the next trip and more planning through Veltra. Use Veltra as well as they seem to have more variety when all the other sites were all sold out, instant confirmations on most and a bit cheaper too. All bonuses!!

Thank you again, team, Veltra

Excellent tour of Tokyo

Reviewed by: Ken M

Very encompassing tour of Tokyo. You see a both a Buddhist Temple and Shinto Shrine, visit several gardens, shop, take a boat ride on a scenic part of the river and have a great Japanese lunch. Of course the Cherry Blossoms were in bloom which made it extra special. Great guide!

Mt Fuji Tour from Tokyo with Lake Kawaguchi Cruise and Ropeway Ride

Great value and amazing experience!

Reviewed by: Joseph

This was the first time I took my parents on a bus tour and they were pleasantly surprised. The parking lot of the Metropolitan Government Building was a little confusing to find at first so make sure to get there early. Since the 5th station was closed due to the weather, we went to the 4th station instead but still had beautiful views from the top. The lunch at Fuji Q Highland was actually very tasty (chicken cacciatore, salad, bread, coffee/tea, dessert) in a beautiful little restaurant and an amazing view of the Mount Fuji from the tables. We had just enough time to do the sightseeing cruise, ropeway, and grab a little ice cream treat from the souvenir shop which must be a nice touch during the summer. We really loved the cruise and the view from the top of the cable car was spectacular for photos. Even if you were to add the cost of the bus, activities, food, and time to research I think it would cost more than than the tour itself. I would highly recommend this day trip to casual travelers that want a small taste of Japan's tallest and most majestic mountain.

金沢発着日帰りバスツアー 白川郷+飛騨高山 世界遺産と小京都をめぐるプラチナルート周遊 山の幸満載の昼食付<水・木 催行/添乗員同行/1日>*即予約確定日あり

I encountered an unexpected snowy landscape! 思いがけない雪景色に出会えました!

Reviewed by: さおとめ

I enjoyed this tour during my stay in Kanazawa. We were able to efficiently visit Shirakawa-go and Takayama. The time allocation was just right, with plenty of free time to explore the highlights at my own pace. The driver and guides were also very pleasant, and I had a wonderful time. I participated on April 3rd, and after an unusual snowfall, Shirakawa-go was beautifully covered in snow.

金沢滞在での一日にこのツアーを楽しみました。白川郷と高山を効率良く回る事ができました。時間配分はちょうど良く、自由時間も充分あり、好きなペースで見所を歩けました。ドライバー、ガイドの方々も感じ良く、素晴らしい時間を過ごせました。4月3日の参加でしたが、季節外れの雪が積もった後で、美しい雪の白川郷でした。

Dear Saotome,

Thank you very much for participating in our tour.

This year, due to the mild winter, there was very little snow in Shirakawa-go, but who would have thought it would snow during this season when the cherry blossoms have started to bloom! It turned out to be an unexpected gift. The photos certainly don't look like spring in Shirakawa-go (laughs).

It seems that you were also satisfied with the tour content, and our staff on the day was very pleased.

If you have the opportunity, we would love for you to visit Shirakawa-go in a different season.

さおとめ様

この度は弊社ツアーにご参加いただき、誠にありがとうございます。

今年は暖冬で白川郷でも雪がとっても少なかったのですが、桜が咲き始めたこの季節にまさか雪が降るとは!
思いがけないプレゼントとなりましたね。
お写真もとても春の白川郷とは思えませんね(笑)

ツアー内容も満足いただいたようで当日のスタッフも大変喜んでおります。

また機会がございましたら、違う季節の白川郷にも訪れていただければと思います。

屋久島周遊 1日観光バスツアー 「やくざる号」でレンタカーよりお得にぐるり島巡り とびうお料理の昼食付き 1名参加可能 by 屋久島ツアーオペレーションズ

This might be the only place in Japan where you can see a bus running through a World Heritage site. バスの走る世界自然遺産は全国でここだけかも

Reviewed by: ピーチ女王

Places like Shiretoko and Shirakami-Sanchi, which are World Heritage Sites, are often only accessible by four-wheel drive, making them not easy to visit. However, the Yakuzaru bus can be easily booked online! You can enter the World Heritage area as soon as you think about it! The Western Forest Road was amazing. Yakuzaru and Yakushima deer were living freely, showing their natural selves. It was the best!

The ability to circle the island is also appealing. The local bus guide shared the conditions and history of each village as if providing a live commentary.

You can see two waterfalls that represent Yakushima, and if you combine the views from the car, you can see three, plus you can visit Inakahama. The morning session included a drive along the coastline and the World Heritage sites, making it truly packed with experiences.

In the afternoon session at Yakusugi Land and the Jomon Cedar, you quickly ascend to 1,000 meters, which really makes you feel that Yakushima is a mountainous island. Although I didn't see any sea turtle nesting sites, I would like to participate again at a different time.

知床や白神山地など世界自然遺産はどこも四輪駆動でしか入れないことが多く、手軽には尋ねることが、できません。しかし、やくざる号は予約もネットで簡単!思いたったらすぐ世界遺産地域に入れます!!西部林道は最高でした。ヤクザルやヤクシカが普通に生活していました。自然体の姿を見せてくれました。最高です!
島を一周できるのも魅力ですね。地元のバスガイドさんが各集落のようすや集落の歴史をまるで実況中継のように話してくれました。
水の島、屋久島を代表する滝も2つ、車窓を合わされると3つ見ることかできますし、いなか浜にも行けます。午前の部は海岸線のドライブも世界遺産もありで本当に盛りだくさんでした。
ヤクスギランド・紀元杉と午後の部では一気に1000メートルを駆け上がって屋久島が山の島であることも感じさせてくれます。
ウミガメの産卵跡はみられませんでしたが、時期を変えてまた参加したいです。

Mt. Fuji & Hakone Tour from Tokyo with Lake Ashi Cruise & Ropeway Ride

Overall a good tour apart from the Lake Ashi tour

Reviewed by: WLN

Staff service was very good even prior to the start of the tour. At pickup point staff made sure we were at the right tour and everyone was on board. On the actual tour bus the guide talk about the different sights in Tokyo city before we got out of the city, and through out the drive to Mt. Fuji provide us with various cultural and scenic information. We had a good view of Mt Fuji, even though we did not get to the 5th Station. The ropeway ride was also good and well guide but the tour guide to make sure we got on board. The disappointing part was the boat ride on Lake Ashi - since our tour was part of a larger group of people, too many in our opinion as we had no place to sit down and had to stand in several crowded areas until we reach the other side. So we had no commentary about the Lake and it surrounds, so basically it was just a ferry ride to the other side of the lake. The guide look after us during lunch and had a place for us to sit even though we did not get a lunch package, and finally made sure we got the the Odawara Station OK and directed us to the correct train and platform.

I was satisfied that I could visit World Heritage sites without wasting time. The advice on highlights and routes was also helpful. The lunch spot and the rice cracker shop had friendly service, making for a pleasant dining and experience! In the morning, we gathered at the west exit of Kanazawa Station, but there were no signs, so I wished they had something like a whiteboard to guide us.

Dear aimama534,

Thank you very much for participating in our tour.

We appreciate your valuable feedback. The meeting point is a public area designated for group bus pick-up and drop-off, where many tours start and end. Therefore, we are unable to display our tour sign, but our staff on the day will carry tour stickers to assist you in identifying them easily.

We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour itself. I will also pass on your warm words to the staff at the lunch location and the rice cracker baking area!

If you have the opportunity, we would love for you to visit the Hokuriku and Hida regions again.

aimama534様
