All Reviews for Bus Tours

The open-top double-decker bus tour was my first experience. The weather was nice and warm, so it wasn't cold at all even in late March. It was my first time in Osaka, and the ability to efficiently sightsee in the city in a short amount of time on the last day was appealing. The guide's explanations were also very enjoyable. My middle school and elementary school children had a great time as well, and they mentioned wanting to try bus tours in various places. I thought it would have been nice to have a bit more time. If given the opportunity, I would like to explore the northern route. However, it was difficult to find the bus stop.

オープン二階建てバス観光は初めての経験でした。天気が良く、暖かい日でしたので、3月下旬でも全然寒くありませんでした。初めての大阪で、最終日の短い時間で、効率的に市内観光ができるのが魅力です。ガイドさんの説明もあり、とても楽しかったです。中学生と小学生の子供達もとても楽しかった、また色々な所で、バス観光をしてみたいと話していました。もう少し時間が長くてもいいと思いました。機会があれば、北ルートをまわりたいです。ただ、バス乗り場を探すのが難しかったです。

Even though it's in the city, having fun rides with family and a cheerful guide made for a great start to a weekend spent nearby. I highly recommend it!

都内は勤務地といえ、家族と楽しい乗り物、明るくしてくれるガイドさんがが足されると、近場で過ごす休日の良いスタートとなりました。
お勧めです

This is a bus tour that takes you to Sefa Utaki and the Gangala Valley. In the morning, you go to the designated meeting place, and then you just get on the bus, making the travel very easy. The guide's progress was also smooth. We walked a lot at both locations, but it felt great to walk in nature, and I was glad to visit such a sacred place.

斎場御嶽〜ガンガラーの谷へ連れて行ってもらえるバスツアーです。
午前中に指定の集合場所へ行き、そのままバスに乗っていれば良いので移動はとても楽でしたし、ガイドさんの進行もスムーズでした。
２箇所ともたくさん歩きましたが、自然の中を歩くのは気持ちよかったし、神聖な場所に行けて良かったです。

I searched online and made a reservation because the Ishigaki Island option tour for the Queen Elizabeth cruise was fully booked. The website's explanation was easy to understand, and I had a fun day.
1. It was cheaper than the option tour.
2. The sightseeing spots were sufficiently covered.
3. I was able to ride a glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay.
4. The guide was knowledgeable and informative, and the conversation was entertaining.

クイーンエリザベスクルーズの石垣島オプションツアーが満席のため、ネットで検索し予約しました。Webの説明がわかりやすく楽しい一日を過ごせました。
　①オプションツアーより安かった
　②観光地は十分網羅されている
　③川平湾でグラスボートに乗れた
　④ガイドさんの知識が豊富で勉強になったうえ、会話が面白い

The tour itself was enjoyable, with the captain providing explanations about the islands, the bus driver giving insights, and the boatman during the water buffalo cart ride and Nakama River cruise all being very kind and thorough in their guidance. I had a great time exploring. However, when I asked the staff at the counter for suggestions on how to pass the time after returning to port and before my next schedule, I was a bit disappointed that there were no particular recommendations, as it might have been outside their service.

ツアー自体は道中の船長さんの島々の解説やバスの運転手さんの解説、水牛車、仲間川クルーズの船頭さんなど皆さん懇切丁寧に説明、ガイドしてくださり楽しく周遊出来ました。
帰港してから次の予定までの時間が空いた時の時間潰しをカウンターの方に伺っても、サービス外かもしれませんが特に提案が無かったのが残念かなとおもいました。

It was a fun day being taken around places that are not accessible individually by bus. The guide's explanations, gourmet information, and souvenir tips were all excellent.

個人では行けない場所に、バスで回ってもらって、楽しい１日となりました。
ガイドさんの、説明やグルメ情報、お土産情報、とてもよかったです。

The weather was just right, and even getting splashed felt nice. There were lots of seagulls following us. The powerful moment when the bus enters the water is something unique to the amphibious bus!

お天気ちょうど良くて、しぶきがかかっても気持ちいい。カモメさんがいっぱいついてきました
普通の船にはない、バスが入水する迫力ある瞬間は水陸両用バスならではですね！！

I traveled alone as a woman. I could have rented a car from Naha to the Churaumi Aquarium, but since it was my first time in Okinawa and I wasn't familiar with the roads, I decided to join a tour. In the end, I’m really glad I did! My destination was just the Churaumi Aquarium, but I was able to see other sights as well, which was very helpful. During the ride, the bus guide shared a lot of information, making the journey enjoyable. And above all, the bus guide was funny! Thank you, Kyan-san and the driver.

女性1人旅行で利用しました。
那覇→美ら海水族館までレンタカーでもよかったけど、1人だし初めての沖縄で道に慣れていないので、ツアーに申し込みました。
結果的に利用して本当によかったです！
目的地は美ら海水族館だけだったけど、他も一緒に観光できて助かりましたし、走行中、バスガイドさんがいろいろ教えてくださり、道中も楽しく移動することができました。
そして、何よりバスガイドさんが面白い！
きゃんさん、運転手さんありがとうございました。

Among the several bus tours I considered, I chose this one because it visits both Mount Ontake and the Gangala Valley. I thought it would be difficult to explore on my own without renting a car, so it was great to efficiently visit both places in a half-day tour. Both locations are truly wonderful, and I'm glad I participated.

いくつか検討したバスツアーの中で、御嶽とガンガラーの谷の両方を回れるものだったので、こちらのツアーに参加しました。
個人で回るとレンタカーを借りないとむりだと思ったので、午前中の半日で効率よく回れて良かったです。
どちらも本当に素敵な場所で参加して良かったです。

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 came to Sapporo for sightseeing with my colleagues from work, but everyone ended up doing different activities like watching a baseball game or visiting hot spring facilities in the city. I really wanted to go to Lake Toya, so I joined this tour by myself.
There were over 40 participants, and half of them were foreigners. I thought it was impressive that the guide was alternating between Japanese and Chinese.

When I actually went to Lake Toya, I realized that not only is the beauty of Lake Toya remarkable, but the majestic view of Mount Yotei, which can be seen from anywhere in the area, was also very impressive. I could truly feel that Mount Yotei is part of the landscape in the hearts of the people living in this region.

会社の同僚と札幌に観光に来ましたが、他のものは野球観戦だったり市内の温泉施設にとバラバラで行動することに。自分はどうしても洞爺湖に行きたかったので一人でこのツアーに参加しました。
４０人以上の参加者がいましたが半分は外国の方で、ガイドさんも日本語中国語と交互にガイドされていてすごいなと思います。

実際に洞爺湖に行って気づきましたが、洞爺湖そのものの美しさもさることながら、この地域一帯どこからでも見ることができる雄々しい羊蹄山の景観が大変印象的でした。この地に住む人々の心象風景に必ずあの羊蹄山があるのだなと実感することができました。

I thought that 80% of the participants were foreigners, so I assumed it was for international travel. I didn't expect to be able to converse in English while sightseeing in Kyoto.

参加者の方が外国の方が8割で海外旅行かと思いました。京都観光で、英会話ができればとは思いませんでした。

This year, the cherry blossoms bloomed later than usual, so they weren't in full bloom, but I think I was able to see quite a few flowers. The guide's talk was very informative, and I was surprised by how much I didn't know about the historical background and new discoveries, even though I live in Tokyo. It was really great. It was a tour that made me want to participate every year.

今年は桜が遅咲きだったので、満開とまではいきませんでしたが割と咲いている状態を見れたと思います。ガイドさんのお話がとても為になり、歴史的背景や新しい発見など、東京在住なのに知らない事が多くて驚きましたしとても良かったです。毎年参加したいなと思えるツアーでした。

I couldn't see the mangrove roots due to high tide, but it was nice to take a route I don't usually travel. The water buffalo were really calm and doing their job well. It was great to be back after seven years.

満潮の時間でマングローブの根っこは見れませんでしたが、いつもは通らない航路で良かったです。
水牛は、本当に大人しくしっかり仕事してますね。
７年ぶりでしたが、良かったです。

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。

I participated in the same tour two years ago. Last time, I couldn't see much of the scenery due to rain and wind. This time, there was fog and haze at Cape Earth, but at Lake Toya, it was clear, and I could see the beautifully snow-covered Mount Yotei. Last time, Lake Shikotsu was completely dark, but this time I was able to see the large lake, which was satisfying. I think it's great for those without a rental car since it allows for efficient travel.

2年前に同じツアーに参加しました。前回は雨や風でほとんど景色もみえず。
今回は地球岬では霧や霞もありましたが洞爺湖では晴れて雪の被った羊蹄山も綺麗にみえました。前回は真っ暗な支笏湖でしたが大きな湖を見ることができ満足です。効率よくまわれるのでレンタカーがない人にはとても良いと思います。

A tour that efficiently visits the three islands of Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island in a short amount of time. The boat is shared with a large tour group, and there are about 70 participants in this tour itself. A system has been established to efficiently handle a large number of tourists. At each location, the guidance is smooth, almost like an assembly line. It may feel a bit impersonal, but I suppose that's within the acceptable range for tourist spots...

I chose a free plan for Taketomi Island without much thought, but it takes about 15 minutes on foot from the port to the town center. I didn't have the energy to go further to places like Kondoi Beach, so I returned to the port. Even if it costs a bit more, I think it's better to have a rental bicycle with a shuttle service from the port to the town center or a bus tour from the start. By the way, there is a rental bicycle available for 600 yen for 2 hours once you reach the town center, but be careful as you can't return it at the port.

Overall, the tour was compact and allowed us to visit the three islands, which was great.

時短で効率的に、西表島、由布島、竹富島の三島をめぐるツアー。
船は大手ツアーと混載、またこのツアー自体も70人くらいの参加。
効率よく大量に観光客をさばくシステムが確立している。
行く場所行く場所で流れ作業のごとくスムーズに案内される。
少し味気ないが、まあ観光地あるあるで許容範囲か…

竹富島は、よくわからずフリープランにしたが、船着場から中心地までは徒歩15分はかかる。そこからさらにコンドイ浜等に行く体力もなく、船着場にトンボ帰りした。
多少お金がかかってもこの島ははじめから、船着場から中心地まで車の送迎があるレンタサイクルか、バス観光がベターだと思う。ちなみに、中心部まで行くと2時間600円のレンタサイクルはあるが、船着場での乗り捨てが出来ないので要注意。

ツアー自体はコンパクトに三島周れて良かった。

It was my first time participating with a friend. We were looking for a place to see cherry blossoms, and that's when we found Sky Duck. The amphibious bus is something you should experience at least once! Since there are no windows, you can feel the nature around you, and the elevated view makes the scenery look fresh. Above all, the most wonderful part was the guide! Whether it was improvisation or not, they kept the passengers entertained with stories in any situation. Thank you for a wonderful experience; it became a great memory.

友人と初めての参加でした。桜を見たいね、という事で探していたところスカイダックを見つけました。
水陸両用バス、一度は体験するべきです！窓がないのでそのままの自然を感じ、目線も高いので景色が新鮮に映ります。何より一番素晴らしいのはガイドさんです！アドリブなのかどんな状況でも乗客を飽きさせる事なくお話してくれました。素晴らしい体験をありがとうございます、いい思い出になりました。

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！

It was unfortunate that the weather was rainy. I think it's good for enjoying Osaka in a short time, but I felt it was lacking. I believe there should be a one-day course with lunch that includes visits to tourist attractions.

あいにくの雨の天気で残念でした。
大阪を短時間で楽しむには良いと思いますが、物足りませんでした。
観光施設も訪れることができる昼食付の１日コースがあっても良いと思います。

I had a great time. At first, I was a bit anxious because there were many tourists from China, but the guide's support was generous and kind, including explanations about the trip and guidance for lunch. When we gathered, I was a little worried because it seemed like the same place as other tours, but as long as I followed the guide and the flow of people, it was fine!

とても楽しかったです。
はじめは中国からの観光の方が多く不安でしたが、旅の説明も含め、昼食の案内などもガイドさんのサポートが手厚く親切でした。
集合のときも、ほかのツアーと同じ場所のようで少し不安でしたが、ガイドさんと人の流れに乗っていれば大丈夫でした！！

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。

Honestly, I didn't have high expectations, but I had a great time.
This time, I traveled to Hokkaido with my sister. I really wanted to go to the Blue Pond, but there were only tours that included the zoo, so we participated in this one instead. The time spent at each stop was okay, but I was disappointed that we didn't have time to eat ice cream at Lake Shikotsu.

正直、あまり期待していなかったけど、とても楽しかったです。
今回は姉と2人での北海道旅行。本当は青い池に行きたかったけど、動物園とセットの物しかなく、こちらに参加しました。一つ一つの立ち寄り時間もまあよかったですが、支笏湖ではアイス等を食べる時間がなくなってしまい、残念でした。

The tour guide's guidance was perfect. At each point of interest, they shared stories related to the local vegetation and facilities at just the right moments, and along the way, they told us surprising local tales, which helped us understand Yakushima well. I definitely want to come back.

Their attention to detail was also wonderful; they took photos for us and clearly communicated important points to be aware of once we arrived at each location, which added to our sense of security. Participating in the one-day tour gave us a great overview of Yakushima, and I’m really glad I joined on the first day of my arrival.

ツアーガイドさんの案内、完璧でした。
通過ポイントで、タイミングよく、そこの植生や施設にちなんだ話を盛り込みつつ、道中は地元ならではの驚く話をしてくれたりと、と屋久島のことがよく分かり、また絶対に来たいと思いました。

目配り気配りも素晴らしく、シャッターを押してくれたり、降りた先では注意すべき点をきちんと伝えてくれたり、安心感も加わり、1日ツアーで屋久島の概要が分かり、到着1日目に参加してホントよかったと思いました。

Departing from Ishigaki Port, I enjoyed the beautiful scenery of mangroves while listening to the fun explanations from our guide on Iriomote Island. I saw rare butterflies and rode a water buffalo across the sea. At that moment, the young man handling the water buffalo played the sanshin and sang, which was moving. The houses on Taketomi Island were incredibly beautiful structures. I was strolling around the island on foot, but I was sticky with sweat from my pants and shirt. I recommend using a rental bicycle. Next time, I want to visit Hateruma Island, which I haven't been to yet.

I participated in April.
We traveled from Noboribetsu to Muroran, then to Lake Toya and Lake Shikotsu before returning to Sapporo.
Later, I found out that it was about 380 kilometers. I don't think I could have managed it on my own with a rental car.

The guide was very pleasant and made eye contact with each of us while guiding, which gave me a sense of reassurance.

I hope the following information will be helpful for those who will participate in the future.

- There is no restroom on the bus.
All the stops have restrooms, but there can be long intervals of about an hour and a half, so if you need to use the restroom frequently, I recommend managing your fluid intake.

- There are no power outlets or USB ports.
We left at 8 AM and didn't return until 6 PM, so a mobile battery is essential.

- Paid option for the bear ranch.
The bear ranch is combined with Showa Shinzan, but it lasts less than 40 minutes, so personally, I think it wasn't necessary. However, it's recommended for those who want to see Hokkaido's brown bears up close.

Also, the space between the seats was narrower than I expected, and the person in front of me immediately reclined their seat fully, so my knees were constantly hitting the seat in front. I think this is partly a matter of luck, but the cramped seating was tough during the long journey.

However, considering the price, I was able to visit so many tourist spots, so in the end, I was very satisfied! When I come back to Hokkaido, I plan to request another course from this company.

4月に参加しました。
登別〜室蘭〜洞爺湖〜支笏湖を周って札幌に帰ってきます。
後で調べたら約380キロほどありました。レンタカーではとても自力では回れなかったと思います。

ガイドさんもたいへん感じがよく、ひとりひとりアイコンタクトを取りながらご案内してくださったので安心感がありました。

以下の情報はこれから参加される方に幾らか参考になればと思います。

・車内にトイレがありません。
各下車スポットには全てトイレがあるのですが、間隔が長いところで1時間半ほどありますので、トイレが近い方は水分調整をおすすめします。

・コンセントやUSBポートはありません
朝8時に出て夕方6時まで帰ってきませんので、モバイルバッテリーは必須です。

・熊牧場の有料オプション
昭和新山とセットになっている熊牧場ですが、合わせて40分もありませんので個人的にはなくても良かったかなと思います。北海道のヒグマを間近でみたい方にはおすすめです。

あとはシートの間隔が思ったよりも狭く、しかも前の座席の人がすぐにフルで倒してきたためヒザが常に前席に当たっている状態でした。こればかりは運もあるかと思いますが、移動が長いため座席の狭さは身体に応えました。


ですがこのお値段でこれだけの観光地を回れましたから、最終的には大満足です！また北海道に来た際はこちらの会社の別コースもお願いしようと思います。

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。

I had a day off during my business trip to Sapporo, and since I was in Hokkaido, I wanted to fully enjoy the great outdoors, so I found and joined this tour. It was as fun as the reviews said, and I'm really glad I participated. I was healed by nature! The guide, Onodera, was amazing! He was kind and shared a lot of interesting stories.

札幌での出張で1日休みがあり、せっかく北海道に来たので、大自然を満喫したいと思い、このツアーを見つけ参加しました。口コミの通りとても楽しく参加してよかったなぁと思いました。大自然に癒されました！
ガイドの小野寺さん最高！優しくていろいろ話が聞けてよかったです

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！
