All Reviews for Bus Tours

The guide is experienced and provides information in both English and Japanese. It feels like a little trip abroad. It's a busy tour, and you must strictly adhere to the schedule.

ガイドさんが経験豊富で英語と日本語交互に案内します。プチ海外に行ったようです。忙しいツアーです。時間厳守は必ず守らないといけません。

The meeting place (somewhere in the building?) was hard to find. If it was this confusing, I would have liked to see a staff member arrive at least 30 minutes before the meeting time to help organize things. In fact, other tour staff members were already there.

The tour guide seemed to be Chinese and wasn't very proficient in languages other than Chinese. The English was also hard to understand (my daughter-in-law speaks English). What I found most disappointing was the lack of knowledge about Japan and the Japanese language. I participated with my daughter-in-law, who only speaks English and is from Canada, while I am a Japanese person who is okay with English.

The most unpleasant part was that the guide couldn't pronounce difficult words like Kegon Falls and Lake Chuzenji. They also couldn't explain Irohazaka (not understanding the meaning of "Iroha"). It was unfortunate that lunch was a vegetarian meal, but there was no explanation, so some participants were confused about whether there was meat in the meal (they didn't know what yuba was).

It's such a good tour, but as a Japanese person, I felt disappointed.

集合場所（ビルのどこか？）がわかりにくかった。
これだけわかりにくいのなら、少なくとも集合時間の30分前には係の人がきて整理してもらいたかった。実際にほかのツアーの係の人は、来ていました

ツアーの添乗員が中国人（？）らしい方で、中国語以外が上手でない。英語もわかりにくかった（義娘は英語）
一番だめだと思ったのが、日本や日本語の知識がない。
私はカナダから来た英語のみの義娘と参加した、英語は大丈夫な日本人です

最も不愉快だったのは、華厳の滝や中禅寺湖など難しい単語が発音できないこと。いろは坂の説明ができないこと（イロハの意味がわかっていない）
気の毒だったのは昼食が精進料理だったのですが、全く説明がなかったため、この食事の中に肉があるのかどうかわからず食べれず（ユバがなんだかわからないですよ）困っていた参加者がいました

せっかくこのような良いツアーなのに、日本人として残念でした

As mentioned in the reviews, it was a tour mainly focused on Chinese participants, but we signed up with three Japanese people. It was a satisfying tour to Yufuin and Beppu at this price.

口コミ通り中国の方が中心のツアーでしたが日本人3名で申し込みました
この価格で湯布院、別府と満足したツアーでした。

Even though it's a city, the bus passes through refreshing greenery.

With the guide's instructions, we were able to enjoy the scenery by turning right and left.

It was truly a delightful moment.

都会なのに爽やかな緑の中をバスが、通り抜けます。

ガイドさんの案内で、右向いたり、左向いたりと景色を堪能できました。

本当に楽しいひとときでした。

I participated with my daughter and son-in-law who live in America. On the day of the tour, a guide explained various things in English and Chinese. (The explanations were only during the drive; at the sightseeing spots, we had complete freedom to explore.)

We had plenty of time at each sightseeing location, so we could enjoy the sights at a leisurely pace. We arrived a bit late at the last sightseeing spot, Nara, and almost missed the visiting hours for Todai-ji, but the guide kindly led us partway in the rain to ensure we wouldn't get lost, and we made it just in time. I truly appreciate the help. My daughter and son-in-law were also very happy.

アメリカに住む娘夫婦と参加。当日は、お一人のガイドさんが英語と中国語で色々と説明してくださいました。（説明は車中のみ、観光地は全て自由行動）
各観光地では充分時間があったので、ゆっくり観光することができました。
最後の観光地奈良に到着したのが少し遅くなり、東大寺への拝観時間ギリギリになってしまいましたが、ガイドさんが道に迷わないようにと雨の中途中まで連れて行ってくださり間に合いました。本当にお世話になりました。娘夫婦も大喜びでした。

I booked a free plan for my trip around the islands, and for Taketomi Island! I heard it was a 20-minute walk to the town center, but I thought it would be tough in the heat. Just then, I found a shuttle bus that took me to Kaiji Beach (the star sand area)! It's about an 8-minute walk to Kondoi Beach, so I think if you get off at Kaiji Beach and book the shuttle bus while walking, you can explore efficiently.

I ended up writing mostly about Taketomi Island, but the Nakama River cruise, the water buffalo cart to Yubu Island, lunch on Yubu Island, and the smoothness of transportation were all wonderful too! Considering the boat fare to the remote islands, it's a great deal, and since it's difficult to do the same itinerary individually, I recommend it for those who want to quickly experience the atmosphere of each island!

3島巡り、竹富島はフリープランで予約しました！
中心街まで歩いて20分とのことでしたが、暑くて厳しそうだな、と思ってた矢先、巡回バスを見つけて、カイジ浜（星砂のところ）まで行くことができました！
コンドイビーチまで歩いて8分ほどなので、カイジ浜に降りて、歩いてる途中で巡回バスを予約すると、効率よくまわれると思います。

竹富島のことばかり書いてしまいましたが、その他、仲間川クルーズ、由布島への水牛車、由布島でのお昼ご飯、移動のスムーズさも素晴らしかったです！
離島への船の料金からすると、お値打ちだし、個人で同様に回るには難しい内容なので、サクッと各島の雰囲気を味わいたい人にはおすすめです！

I participated in a bus tour from Sapporo to Furano and Biei with my daughter. Just as the guide said, there is no better weather than this time of year, and we could see Tokachidake and the distant mountains clearly. The panoramic view from Campana Rokkatei and the blue pond, which looked like something out of a photograph, were amazing.

I was looking forward to the lavender at Farm Tomita and the flower carpet at Shikisai no Oka, but unfortunately, we couldn't catch them at their peak as it was either just after replanting or a bit too early. That will have to be a goal for next time.

With a delicious lunch and the guide's kind and enjoyable storytelling, it turned into a fun day of sightseeing. Thank you very much. I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

娘と2人で札幌からの富良野、美瑛バスツアーに参加しました。この時期にこんな良いお天気はない、というガイドさんの言葉通り十勝岳や遠くの山々がくっきり見え、カンパーナ六花亭からのパノラマビュー、そしてまるで写真を見ているかのような青い池は最高でした。
ファーム冨田のラベンダー、色彩の丘の花の絨毯を楽しみにしていましたが、ちょうど植え替え後だったりあと少し早かったり、と残念ながらピークに合わせることができず、また次回の宿題となってしまいました。
美味しいお昼ごはん、ガイドさんの優しい楽しい語り口で、一日楽しい観光になりました。
ありがとうございました。また機会があったら参加したいです。

I thought the half-day tour with four stops would be quite hard, but I was able to visit all the places. To be honest, I wanted to take my time and look at each one slowly, but at the last market, I only had time to eat and couldn't explore much.

However, I appreciated that there were three options for returning: staying at the market to sightsee as much as I wanted, getting off at the clock tower to continue sightseeing, or returning to the meeting point.

半日ツアーで4箇所とかなりハードかなと思いましたが、一通り廻ることができました。
ひとつひとつゆっくりと見たかったというのは、本音ですが、最後の市場も食べる時間しかなくいろいろ廻ることは、できませんでした。

でも選択で市場で残って好きなだけ観光する、
または、時計台で降りて観光を続ける、
集合地に帰るの3つの帰り方ができたのは、良かったと思います。

We participated as a group of two Japanese people. Aside from us and one family from Europe, everyone else was from China. The tour guide was also from China, and at first, I was unsure about how it would go, but they provided guidance in Japanese and were very considerate, which was nice. It was a hot day, so it was a test of endurance.

当方、日本人二人組で参加。欧米人ひと家族と私たち以外は全て中国の方でした。添乗員さんも中国の方で、最初はどうしようかと思いましたが、日本語でも案内をしてもらえて、お気遣いもして頂いて良い方でした。暑い日だったので体力勝負の1日でした。

It was great! Having no one in the seat next to me made it even better, as I could enjoy the view outside and the tourist attractions without any unnecessary worries!

良かったです！
隣の座席に人がいなかったのも、更によく、余計な気を遣わずに、外の景色や観光施設を楽しめました！

It was unfortunately rainy, but the guide and driver worked very hard to show us around the island. There were some places we couldn't access due to the rain, which was disappointing, but thank you for not canceling the tour. The lunch bento was also delicious. It would have been even better if it had been sunny, but experiencing Yakushima in the rain is also a good memory.

あいにくの雨でしたが、ガイドさんやドライバーさんがとても一生懸命に島を案内してくれました。雨で立ち入れない場所もあり残念でしたが、中止にならずに催行してくださりありがとうございます。昼食のお弁当も美味しかったです。晴れていたらさらに良かったですが、雨の屋久島を体験できたことも良い思い出です。

The view of Tokachidake and the vineyards from Campana Rokkatei was very lovely. It was a bit disappointing that the lavender at Tomita Farm and Shikisai no Oka wasn't in bloom yet, but I believe there will be wonderful scenery by the end of June. The lunch was delicious as well. I ordered grape juice, and it was full of the deliciousness of grapes.

カンパーナ六花亭からみる十勝岳とぶどう畑の景色がとてもステキでした。富田ファームや四季彩の丘は、まだラベンダーが咲いてなくてちょっと残念でしたが、6月下旬になったらきっと素晴らしい景色がみれると思います。ランチも美味しかったです。ぶどうジュースをオーダー、ぶどうの美味しさがタップリです。

I had a great time from start to finish! The zoo visit lasts 90 minutes, but since it's quite large, if you take your time to look around, you might find yourself running close on time.

The buffet at the herb garden doesn't have a wide variety, but it does include Genghis Khan, which I think is sufficient for a light lunch.

The Blue Pond and Shirahige Falls are breathtaking, especially the Blue Pond, which looks beautifully blue when it's sunny. The guide was wonderful as well. They provided clear explanations in both Japanese and Chinese, and they were friendly and accommodating throughout, making for an enjoyable experience.

I was able to fully enjoy the great nature of Hokkaido in just one day, and I am very satisfied.

終始楽しめました！盛りだくさんの内容で、動物園は90分ですが、広いのでゆっくり見ていたら結構時間ギリギリになります。
ハーブガーデンのバイキングは種類はそんなにないですが、ジンギスカンもあり、軽めの昼食には十分かと思います。
青い池と白ひげの滝は絶景、特に青い池は、晴れていると綺麗に青く見えるので、とても良いです。そしてガイドさんが素晴らしい。日本語と中国語で説明もわかりやすく、笑顔で最後までご対応いただき、楽しい時間となりました。
北海道の大自然を1日で堪能でき、満足です。

I was quite anxious that the guide would only speak English, but it was great that the tour conductor and the driver provided explanations in Japanese as well. The tour conductor was charming and easy to talk to, and the driver was kind and drove safely. I would like to use this service again.

ガイドが英語のみかなとかなり不安でしたが、添乗員さんや運転手さんがキチンと日本語でも説明してくれて良かったです。添乗員さんもチャーミングな方で話しかけ安かったですし運転手さんも優しくて、安全運転で良かったです。また、利用したいです。

I signed up because I wanted to visit Lake Toya and Lake Shikotsu. The lakes were wonderful, but Showa Shinzan and Cape Earth were also very nice. Since it was a bus tour, we didn't have much time at each location, but I thought it was enough to enjoy so many places. If you take a little extra time at the Geo Park (Summit Memorial Museum) at Lake Toya and the Visitor Center at Lake Shikotsu, you'll enjoy it even more.

I expected it, but honestly, I was a bit worried at first because there were mostly international visitors (mainly from China). However, the guide was considerate, and above all, the manners of the international guests were very good. They kept to the schedule and didn't make loud noises. (I think the guide probably gave them a warning at the beginning.) On the contrary, I felt disappointed that I couldn't communicate much since I couldn't speak English well.

I highly recommend this tour for those who don't want to drive and want to see a lot in one day.

(Thank you, guide R! Keep up the great work!!)

洞爺湖、支笏湖へ行ってみたくて申し込みました。
目的の湖も素晴らしかったですが、昭和新山や地球岬もとても良かったです。
バスツアーなので各場所そんなに時間は無いけど、こんなに何箇所も楽しめるなら十分だと思いました。
洞爺湖はジオパーク（サミット記念館）、支笏湖はビジターセンターへの時間を少し長めにとると更に楽しめます。


予想はしてましたが、海外の方（主に中国）ばかりで正直最初は「どうしよう。。。」と思いました。
でもガイドさんも気遣ってくれましたし、何より海外の方達のマナーがとても良かったです。
時間も守るし、大声で騒ぐこともないし。
（多分ガイドさんが最初に注意してくれたのだと思われます。）
逆にこちらが英語もまともに話せなくて、あまりコミュニケーションを取ることができなくて、残念に思えました。

自分で運転したくなくて、１日で周りたい方にはとてもおすすめなツアーです。

（ガイドのRさんお世話になりました！これからも頑張ってください！！）

You can efficiently explore Sapporo city in a short time. However, there simply isn't enough time at any of the tourist spots. I was looking forward to the Shiroi Koibito Park, but I only had less than 30 minutes there. I had to line up at the register to buy Shiroi Koibito, and I didn't have enough time to finish even half of my ice cream. The Okurayama Jump is all separate fees. Here too, I had to line up to buy tickets, then take the lift up the mountain and turn back.

At the Sapporo Outer Market, I couldn't eat crab or anything due to my shellfish allergy. When I was looking for a place to eat grilled fish, the bus guide laughed at me. They said, "Grilled fish here?" I don't want to hear that from you!

短時間で効率よく札幌市内観光できます。
ただとにかくどこの観光場所も時間なさすぎ。楽しみにしていた白い恋人パークも30分足らず。白い恋人を買うためレジに並び、アイスは時間がなくて半分くらいしか食べられなかった。大倉山のジャンプなどは全て別料金。ここもチケット買うのに並び、リフトで山に上がってUターンしてくる感じ。
札幌場外市場で食事は、甲殻類アレルギーの私にカニなどは食べられない。
焼き魚でも食べようとしてお店探してたら、バスガイドさんに鼻で笑われた。
ここで焼き魚ってだそうです。あなたに言われたくありません！

This is a tour to Tojinbo, lunch at Komatsuya, and Maruoka Castle. Since the meal cost is included, the price is a bit higher, but I think it was reasonable in the end.

During Golden Week, the weather was nice, and I had a great time, but perhaps due to limited promotion, there were only two groups with three people participating. The bus was spacious, and I enjoyed the sightseeing. I was able to indulge in a very luxurious trip, but I wish more people could take advantage of it.

The time allocation was a bit rushed at both Tojinbo and Maruoka Castle due to the crowds, and I would have liked to take a little more time at both, but given the season, it might be unavoidable. On the other hand, there was a bit of leeway during lunch. There is Kunigami Shrine just a 2-3 minute walk from Komatsuya, so I visited and received a goshuin.

The guide and the driver were very kind, and I had a good impression of them. I definitely want to recommend this for sightseeing in Fukui.

東尋坊、小松屋の昼食、丸岡城へ行くツアーです。食事代込みなのでお値段は少々上がりますが、終わってみれば納得の価格だったと思います。
GWでお天気も良くとても楽しめましたが、まだ宣伝が行き渡っていないのか、二組三人のみの参加でした。バスはゆったり座れましたし、観光も楽しめました。すごく贅沢な旅行を満喫できましたが、もっとたくさんの人に利用していただければ良いのに、と思います。
時間配分は東尋坊も丸岡城も混んでいたので忙しく、どちらももう少しゆっくりしたかったですが、時期が時期だけに仕方がないかもしれません。一方昼食時間はややゆとりがありました。小松屋から徒歩2−3分で行けるところに国神神社があるので、参拝して御朱印をいただきました。
ガイドさんや運転手さんはとても親切で、良い印象を受けました。福井観光にはぜひお勧めしたいです。

I give five stars to the driver and the guide, but none for the tour! Why???? There were 38 people, with only 3 Japanese. If this is a tour for foreigners, I would like it to be clearly stated in advance. If this kind of ratio happens by chance, I would like to be notified. I wanted to cancel. I will never apply again.

ドライバーさんとガイドさんにはホシ５つですが、ツアーには星なし！なぜ？？？？38人で日本人3人
外国の方のためのツアーなら事前に明記欲しい。たまたまこの様な割合になったら通知欲しいです。キャンセルしたかった。もう2度と申し込みません

The water buffalo cart ride was much slower than I expected, allowing for a leisurely experience. I was able to spend valuable time and it was enjoyable. It was more fun than I imagined.

水牛車の歩行が思った以上にゆっくりな歩行で、のんびりとできました。貴重な時間を過ごすことが出来楽しかったです。想像以上に楽しかったです。

I wanted to enjoy the nature of Hokkaido without the need to rent a car, so I decided to participate. The meeting place was close to Susukino, and all we had to do was get on the bus. It was full, but mostly with foreign tourists. The bus guide seemed to be from China. The main language of the guide was Chinese, but they also provided key points in Japanese. I think it was pretty good since we were able to visit spots near Sapporo in just one day.

レンタカー借りるほどではないけど北海道の自然を気軽に楽しみたいと思って参加しました。すすきのからほど近い集合場所で後はバスに乗るだけ。満員でしたが、外国人観光客がほとんど。バスガイドさんは中国の方かな。中国語メインのガイドでしたが日本語でもポイントを押さえたガイドでした。一日で札幌近くのスポットをまわれたのでまあ良かったかなと思いました。

They took us to the sightseeing spots we wanted to visit, and it was convenient to travel by bus. However, I was surprised to find that there were only two groups of Japanese people, including us, as I didn't expect it to be aimed at inbound tourists.

行きたい観光地に連れて行ってくれて、バス移動で楽でした。ただ、インバウンド客向けとは思わずに申し込んだら、まさかの日本人は自分たちを含めて2組でビックリしました。

It was enjoyable because it was a bus tour, so there was no crowded trains or troublesome waiting times. I slept on the way back. The guide was a nice person. I felt like I wanted a bit more detailed explanations.

バスツアーなので電車の混雑や面倒な待ち時間もなく楽でした。帰りは寝ていました。ガイドさんは感じのいい人でした。もう少し詳しい説明が聞きたかった感じは残りました。

The colors of the hill were not as vibrant as in the brochure, which was disappointing.
The hamburger for lunch was delicious!!
The guide was also very kind and helpful.

色彩の丘が時期的に早すぎてパンフレットの様な感じではなかった。残念
お昼のハンバーグは美味しかった‼︎
ガイドさんも親切な対応で良かったです。

I visited both Takayama and Shirakawa-go in about two hours. I thought that might be a bit short on time, but once I participated, I was satisfied with the delicious meals and sightseeing.

The observation deck in Shirakawa-go is especially recommended.

The guide was also a nice person, and I had a fun trip. I would like to participate again.

飛騨高山と白川郷をどちらも２時間くらいの時間でまわりました。
時間的に少ないかなと思っていましたが、実際参加してみると
おいしい食事と観光もできて満足できました。

特に白川郷の展望台はおすすめです。

ガイドのお姉さんもいい方で楽しい旅ができました。
また参加させていただきたいです。

Since it was a long journey, we had two drivers, and there were also two guides, one for Japanese and Chinese and one for English. Everyone was very kind.
The day we visited the moss phlox was the day of the full bloom announcement, and it was wonderful to see it at its peak. The tulips were also in full bloom with a variety of colors, which was impressive! Although the time spent on the bus was long, it was a tour well worth participating in, and I was very satisfied!

長時間の移動になる為ドライバーさん２名体制、ガイドさんも日本語・中国語担当１名と英語対応の２名体制でした。皆さんとても親切な方達でした。
芝桜は行った当日が満開宣言の日でとても綺麗な時に行けて最高でした。チューリップも色とりどり満開で感動しました！バスに乗っている時間が長いですが参加するに十分値するツアーで大満足でした！

I used this half-day bus tour to wrap up my trip to Hokkaido. The seafood at Sapporo's Outer Market was delicious. I would like to use it again.

北海道旅行の締めにこの半日バスツアーを利用しました。
札幌場外市場の海鮮料理はうまかったです。
また利用したいです。

It was my first trip to Hokkaido in a while.
The Shikisai no Oka was particularly wonderful,
and we were blessed with great weather, allowing us to see the mountains of Daisetsuzan.
I felt fantastic.
I've traveled a lot both domestically and internationally, but the easy access to Hokkaido's great nature is the best.
It definitely ranks in the top three in Japan.
This day trip bus tour is great!

久しぶりの北海道旅行でした。
特に四季彩の丘は素晴らしく
天気にも恵まれ大雪山の山々まで見えて
気持ちは最高です。
国内や海外もたくさん行っていますが、
やはり気軽に行ける北海道の大自然は最高です。
国内ではベスト3に入りますね。
この日帰りバスツアーはいいですよ。

You can efficiently visit the highlights of the island, which is located away from the central area, such as Kabira Bay. During the移動中, the guide provided explanations about the island's history and performed songs on the sanshin, making the experience enjoyable without getting bored. While you can't spend a long time at each location, the tour allows you to disembark at the airport at the end, making it suitable for those with limited time.

川平湾など中心部からは離れている島の見どころを効率よく回ることができ、また移動中はガイドさんの島の歴史の説明や歌・三線の演奏もあり飽きずに過ごせました。
1箇所をじっくり見られるわけではありませんが、最後空港でも下車できるので時間がない方も楽しめるツアーだと思います。

The water buffalo cart can hold about 10 people, and I sat at the very back. It was hard to hear what they were talking about, and I couldn't see the water buffalo.

水牛車は10人乗り位で、一番後ろに座りました。何を話しているか聞き取りにくいし、水牛が見えませんでした。

I have used the island-hopping service several times, and I never get bored. This time, the boatman on the water buffalo cart showcased his sanshin playing and singing. It was a very peaceful time. Thank you very much.

これまでに何度か離島巡りを利用させて頂きましたが、全然飽きることがありません。
今回の水牛車では船頭？のおじさんが三線と歌声を披露してくれしました。
とても穏やかな時間が流れていました。
有難うございました。
