All Reviews for Bus Tours

It was a good tour.
However, the meeting point was shared with various tour companies, which made it very confusing.
The tour company name listed in the itinerary sent by email was different from the one on the flag held by the guide, and the guide only had a guest list and a flag, without a large sign indicating the destination.
Although the weather was not favorable, Hida Takayama and Shirakawa-go were very nice.
The guide's announcements on the bus were polite and easy to understand.
All the participants were also on time for the bus meeting, which went smoothly.

いいツアーでした。
でも、集合場所はいろいろなツアー会社の集合場所になっていて、とてもわかりにくかったです。
メールで送られた日程表に書かれているツアー会社名と、ガイドさんが持っている旗は別物だったし、ガイドさんが持っていたのは客の名簿と旗だけで、行き先を大きく書いた案内も持っていなかったから。
お天気には恵まれませんでしたが、飛騨高山と白川郷はとてもよかったです。
バス内のガイドさんの案内は丁寧でわかりやすかったです。
参加しているお客さんも、だれもバスの集合時間に遅れることなくスムーズでした。

I used this service while staying in Sapporo for my child's entrance exam. It was convenient for me as it allowed for a day trip with a meeting and dispersal point at Sapporo Station.

The variety of animals was limited, and there were not many, so it felt like seeing them in their natural state. The bus guide on the way there and back had a gentle speaking style, which was enjoyable. I was concerned that there were no restrooms on the bus, but there was a restroom break at just the right time, so it wasn't an issue.

Most of the other passengers were Japanese, so the bus was quiet. At Asahiyama Zoo, there was enough time to look around. The snow often stopped, and we were fortunate with the weather. The ground was slippery in many places, and since the zoo is not flat but on a slope, I walked carefully. I felt like I was more concerned about my footing than the animals.

There were some people who fell over. The souvenir shops had a variety of products; the bus guide mentioned that all shops sell the same items, but when I asked the stores, they said the companies were different, so the products varied.

I think this is a perfect course for a day trip from Sapporo. I highly recommend it!

子供の受験のため札幌に滞在中に利用しました。
日帰りで、札幌駅前集合解散が出来たので自分にぴったりだったため便利でした。
動物達は種類は多くなく、数は少なくて自然の姿を拝見する感じでした。
行き帰りのバスガイドさんは穏やかな話し方で楽しかったです。
トイレがバス車内にないのが気掛かりでしたが、ちょうどよい時間にトイレ休憩があり問題ありませんでした。
同じ利用客は日本人が多かったので車内は静かでした。
旭山動物園では見て回るには十分な時間がありました。雪は止んでる事が多く、天候にも恵まれ良かったです。
地面は滑りやすいところも多く動物園が平地ではなく、斜面？なので慎重に歩きました。動物よりも足元ばかり気になっていたように思います。
ひっくり返ってる方もいました。
お土産屋さんは、バスガイドさんはどこも同じ商品が売ってると仰ってましたが、お店に聞くと、会社が違うため商品も違うとのこと、その通り様々でした。
札幌から日帰りでちょうどよいコースだと思います。ぜひどうぞ。

I participated with a one-day free pass in late February. Unfortunately, the weather was rainy and then turned to sleet, making it quite cold. I borrowed a raincoat, but my shoes and pants got completely soaked. After visiting Kitano Tenmangu Shrine and Kinkaku-ji, I gave up and headed to the station by city bus. I thought I was prepared for the cold, but I cannot recommend an open bus in winter.

2月下旬に１日フリーパスで参加しました。あいにく天候が雨模様でその後みぞれに変わり、寒さで大変でした。カッパ借りましたが、靴やズボンがびしょ濡れ北野天満宮と金閣寺観光した後、断念し市バスで駅に向かいました。防寒対策したつもりでしたが冬場のオープンバスはおすすめできません

There was one participant, but there were no issues. I participated on the Monday after the three-day weekend. There was a bit of traffic in the morning, but after that, we were able to stick to the schedule without any problems. The weather was snowy and foggy, but we were able to enjoy the hot springs at Lake Toya.

１名参加でしたが、問題ありませんでした。
３連休明けの月曜日に参加。朝少し渋滞でしたが、その後は問題なく予定時間でまわることができました。
天候は雪と霧でしたが、洞爺湖では温泉に入れましたし、楽しむことができました。

It was amazing to have a guide from morning until evening, allowing us to experience so much! Plus, it included lunch, which was a great deal! It was both inspiring and educational!

朝から夕方までガイドしてもって、いろいろ体験できて最高！しかも、お昼付で、めちゃお得！
感動プラス、勉強にもなりましたよ！

The weather was wonderful, making it a perfect day. I was mostly satisfied with the tour content, but it would have been better if there were a few more lunch options and if we had a bit more time at the movie village.

お天気にも恵まれ最高の一日になりました。
ツアー内容にはほぼ満足ですが、昼食がもう少し選べることができ、映画村でもう少し時間が取れたらなおよかったです。

ツアーは非常によく組織されており、訪れた場所は素晴らしいです！

特に、親切でプロフェッショナルな渡辺さんに感謝します。私の好奇心にすべて答えてくれました！

このツアーをお勧めします。特に渡辺さんと一緒ならなおさらです！

The tour is well organised and the places visited are amazing!

A special thanks to the guide, Ms. Watanabe, who has been very kind and professional, ready to answer about all my curiosities!

I suggest this tour, especially if it's with Ms. Watanabe!

I had the best food walking and exploring in Dazaifu and Yufuin! It's better not to eat breakfast before going—haha! At Mount Tsurumi, I was able to see wonderful phenomena thanks to the weather and climate, creating lovely memories.

太宰府、湯布院での最高の食べ歩き、散策ができました！朝食は食べて行かないほうがいいですよ〜笑！鶴見岳は天気と気候でステキな現象を見れて素敵な思い出

Even on a rainy day, the vinyl acted as a window, so we were able to enjoy ourselves without getting wet. Thanks to that, it might not have been cold in winter without the wind.

I heard that there is a sunshade on the ceiling in summer, and the transparent ceiling is only for now. We were able to take pictures of the Tokyo Skytree all the way to the top.

The guide kept the energy up throughout, and my child was especially delighted with the diving, which they were looking forward to the most. We passed by several people practicing canoeing on the river, and it was heartwarming that everyone waved at us.

The explanation mentioned that the river ride lasts about 20 minutes. After getting off the river, there was a 10-15 minute disembarkation time, and we could take a break at the café or use the restroom.

My elementary school child seemed to enjoy it too, and said they want to go again on a sunny day.

雨の日でもビニールが窓がわりになっていたので濡れずに楽しめました。おかげで冬でも風がなく寒くなかったかもしれません。
夏は天井にサンシェードがあるとの事で、天井も透明なのは今だけとの事。スカイツリーもてっぺんまで写真に撮れました◎

終始ガイドさんが盛り上げてくれて、子どもが1番楽しみにしていたダイビングも大喜びでした。
川ではカヌー？を練習中の方と何度もすれ違いましたが皆さん手を振ってくれたのも微笑ましかったです。
川は20分くらいとの説明がありました。川から出た後は10-15分くらいの降車タイムがあり、カフェで休憩やトイレも可能でした。

今度は晴れた日にも行きたいね、と小学生の子どもも楽しめたようです。

I booked a trip to Hokkaido with my son without knowing much about the area, but it turned out to be a great decision as we were able to efficiently and enjoyably visit various tourist spots!

Especially, our guide, Mr. Gyoda, was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable and answered all our detailed questions about the sights with care, precision, and a personal touch. While the content of the trip is important, what made it truly rewarding was receiving such high-quality service from our guide, which made me feel like I really got my money's worth.

息子との2人旅、北海道の事がよくわからずとりあえず申し込みましたが、効率よく楽しく観光地を回る事ができ、大正解でした！

特にガイドの行田さんが素晴らしくよかったです。知識が豊富で、観光に関する細かい質問にも、丁寧に的確にまた親身になって応えていただきました。
旅行内容も大切ですが、何よりガイドさんからこんなにも質の高いサービスを受ける事ができて、凄く得した気分になりました。

This is a great tour for those who want to quickly explore in just one day. Anyway, Kyoto is very crowded, so utilizing a tour is a good option.

時間がなく一日でさっと回りたい人にはいいツアーです。とにかく京都は人が多いので、ツアーの活用も一つの手段として良いです。

In winter Hokkaido, I was worried, but I had an interesting and enjoyable day thanks to the lively guide's stories.

Thank you very much.

冬の北海道、心配してましたが
軽快なガイドさんのお話も面白く楽しい一日を過ごせました

ありがとうございました

They can also hold your suitcase, so I think it's a good idea to participate even on the last day of your trip. You can visit four tourist spots, making for a very fulfilling day.

スーツケースなども預かって頂けるので旅行最終日なのに参加してみるのも良いと思います。
観光地を4ヶ所も回れるのですごく充実した1日になります。

The only disappointment was the bad weather, but I had a very satisfying time no matter where I went or which guide I had. The bus driver's stories were very interesting.

The water buffalo was very cute.

I had booked a glass-bottom boat, but it was canceled before departure due to high waves, and that was the only regret.

天気が悪いということだけが残念でしたが、どの場所に行っても、どのガイドさんでも大変満足した時間を過ごすことができました。
バスの運転手さんのお話がとても面白い。

水牛さんがとても可愛かったです。

グラスボートを申し込んでいましたが、波が高いということで出発前にキャンセルになり、それだけが残念でした。

Since it was a trip with both children and grandparents, we chose a tour that everyone could participate in together. I wanted to see the pineapples, but I guess it's the season. It was also fun to hear the bus guide's stories, which I wouldn't have been able to enjoy if we were moving around on our own.

子どもとじいじばあばの世代が一緒に旅行だったのでみんなで動けるツアーにしました。
パイナップル、、季節のせいですがなってるところが見たかったな！
バスガイドさんの話も自力で移動してたら聞けないので楽しかったです。

It was the middle of a three-day weekend, and the only sunny day in Kyoto. This was my second bus tour in Kyoto, a luxurious tour visiting four locations. I had been to these places before, but I participated again because I wanted to go back.

At Fushimi Inari, I went through the torii gates a little and then checked out the souvenir shops on the back path. I also bought a "key charm for achievement," which features a key held by a fox. After finishing our sightseeing, we gathered on the path. Then, we all walked to the bus meeting point, but we got delayed for about 20 minutes because the crossing was closed, which made me anxious. Since everyone was together, the path was indeed the correct meeting point.

Once we arrived at Kiyomizu-dera, we had lunch right away. We had chosen a plan that included a Kyoto yudofu meal, so we could eat as soon as we sat down. It was extremely crowded, so opting for lunch was definitely the right choice. The view from Kiyomizu-dera was amazing.

Kinkaku-ji also had great weather and a wonderful view. We felt like we had a bit of extra time, which was nice.

At Arashiyama, we were a bit short on time. The guide took us to the bamboo grove, but during my last visit to Kyoto, I spent too much time in the bamboo grove and missed out on seeing and shopping on the main street of Arashiyama, so this time I quickly looked at the bamboo and returned. It was so crowded that I thought having two hours for sightseeing would be good. We crossed the Togetsukyo Bridge and then headed back to the bus meeting point. Managing time in Arashiyama was challenging.

There were also foreign visitors, but the guide explained everything thoroughly. I wondered if the foreign guests would be able to keep to the schedule, but their manners were good.

三連休真ん中、唯一晴れの京都でした。
京都のバスツアーは、2回目。4箇所回る贅沢ツアー。4箇所行ったことがあったけど、また行きたいという思いから参加をしました。
稲荷伏見は、鳥居を少しくぐって戻り、裏参道のお土産屋さんを見ました。また、「達成のかぎ守」を購入。狐がくわえている鍵を買いました。観光し終わったら、参道に集合。その後、みなさんでバス集合場所まで歩くのですが、踏み切りが開かずの間になり20分くらいかかり焦りました。みなさん一緒だったので集合場所は、参道が正解ですね。
清水寺についたら、すぐにランチ。私たちは、京湯豆腐御膳付きプランにしていたので、席に着いたらすぐに食べることができました。ものすごく混んでいるので、ランチ付きにして正解でした。清水寺からみた景色は最高でした。
金閣寺も、天気がよく、とても素晴らしい景色。ちょっと時間が余った感じでしたが、良かったです。
最後の嵐山は、時間がたりないくらい。ガイドさんが竹林まで案内してくれましたが、前回京都にきた時、竹林に時間をかけすぎて、嵐山のメイン通りで見たり買ったり出来ず残念だったので、竹林はサクッと見て戻りました。とにかく混んでて2時間観光時間があってもいいかなと思うくらい。とりあえず、渡月橋も渡って見て、バス集合場所まで戻りました。時間配分が難しい嵐山でした。
外国の方もいらっしゃい増したが、ガイドさんが丁寧に説明されていたし、また外国の方、時間厳守できるのかな？と思いましたが、マナーも良かったです。

I was looking forward to this tour, staying at a hotel right by the port, and it exceeded my expectations. The initial mangrove cruise was fantastic! The next experience with the water buffalo cart was exotic, but I couldn't fully enjoy it because I felt sorry for the buffalo.

Taketomi Island had a charm that made me wonder if Okinawa's main island used to look like this. However, on the way back to the port, I got lost and it was quite nerve-wracking. It was frustrating that the place names on the signposts at the fork in the road were not on the map provided. Fortunately, I was able to navigate using my smartphone's location, but I hope for improvements to the map.

このツアーに参加するためホテルも港横にして楽しみにしていたが、期待以上だった。最初のマングローブクルーズは最高！　次の水牛車もエキゾチックな体験でしたが、水牛さんがかわいそうで心からは楽しめませんでした。
竹富島は昔は沖縄本島もこんな感じだったのかなという風情がありよかったのですが、帰りに港に向かう道で迷ってハラハラしました。分かれ道の案内標識に出てる地名が渡されていたマップになかったのは困りました。幸いスマホの位置情報で事なきをえましたが、マップの改善を望みます。

The day before, I participated in a three-island tour, and on this day, I initially thought about taking a route bus to the glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay. However, that would only leave me time for lunch and then heading to the airport, so I didn't have high expectations and decided to sign up for an island tour that would drop me off at the airport. The humor of the only male guide was fantastic.

前日に3島めぐりツアー参加でこの日は当初自分で路線バスで川平湾グラスボートでも行こうかと考えていたが、それだと昼食とそれだけで空港に向かうくらいしかできないので、あまり期待せず空港で降りれるので島内ツアー申込した。唯一の男性ガイドさんのユーモアが最高でした。

This was my first time using a bus tour. I didn't have time to do much research and was thinking about how to explore Okinawa when I found this tour. It was a tour focused on the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, and the price was reasonable, so I decided on it right away. As a result, I had the best time. The bus was clean, and I was able to enjoy sightseeing in Okinawa very comfortably. I didn't expect the bus to be this enjoyable. I would like to use a different tour next time as well.

今回初めてバスツアーを使ってみました。というのも下調べの時間がなく、どうやって沖縄観光をしようか考えていた時このツアーを見つけました。美ら海水族館をメインにしたツアーで価格もお手頃で即決しました。結果最高の時間を過ごせました。バスも清潔感があり、とても楽に沖縄を観光することが出来ました。バスがこんなに楽とは思いませんでした。次回もまた違うツアーを利用したいと思ってます。

The guide was extremely kind. The mountains of Hell Valley in Noboribetsu, the bears at the bear ranch, the soup curry at Lake Toya, and the ice sculptures at Lake Shikotsu were all great.

ガイドは超親切です。登別の地獄谷の山、熊牧場の熊、洞爺湖のスープカレー、支笏湖の氷像は全部よくなりました。

During the boat and bus rides, as well as in the water buffalo cart crossing to Yufushima, I enjoyed the staff's flexible explanations without getting bored. The amazing scenery that you can't see on the mainland was the best. Even though I was traveling alone, I had a great time without feeling bored at all.

移動中のボートやバスの中、由布島に渡る水牛車の中と退屈する事なくスタッフの臨機応変な説明が良く楽しめました。本土では見ることのない素晴らしい景色が見れて最高でした。一人旅でしたが全然退屈する事なく楽しかったです。

I boarded from the Kencho-mae Square.
It was a beautiful day, and Kouri Island had the best location.
The bus guide and driver were considerate of my mother, who has difficulty walking, and that was a great help.
Thank you very much.
The traffic jam on the way back was a bit frustrating, but that's a government issue.
I had a wonderful day.
Thank you.

県庁前広場から乗り込みました。

ありがとうございます。

これは行政の問題。
楽しい1日を過ごせました。
ありがとうございます。

This was my first time participating. It started with the polite service from Ishigaki Island Dream Tourism, and after arriving at Iriomote Island, we smoothly enjoyed a mangrove cruise with breathtaking scenery that was truly moving. The person explaining things on the boat was also fun and enjoyable. Next, we rode a water buffalo cart to Yubu Island, and the stories from the water buffalo cart driver, along with the shamisen and songs, were all fantastic! I was amazed at how smart and cute the water buffalo were! On Yubu Island, there were water buffalo that you could touch, and I was allowed to pet their horns and bodies. The weather was great, so the scenery was wonderful, and I was healed by the plants and butterflies, allowing me to spend a lovely time. I wish I had a bit more time on Yubu Island. The entire tour was really enjoyable, and the conversations were fun and friendly. I'm so glad I participated in this tour! I made great memories! If I have the chance again, I would definitely like to use this service.

初めて参加させて頂きました。まずは石垣島ドリーム観光の方の丁寧な接客からはじまり西表島に到着後もスムーズにマングローブ遊覧、素晴らしい景色が広がり感動。遊覧船で説明してくれる方も楽しくてよかったです。続いて水牛車に乗って由布島へ水牛車の方のお話、三味線、歌、全て最高でした！水牛がすごく賢くてかわいいのに驚きでした！由布島では触れる水牛がいてツノや体を触らせてもらえたり、お天気がよかったので景色も最高で植物、蝶にも癒され素敵な時間を過ごせました。もう少し由布島で時間があったらよかったなー。ツアー全体は本当に楽しくて、お話も楽しく親しみやすくこのツアーに参加して本当によかった！いい思い出がでしました！また機会があったら是非、利用したいです。

I participated with my 5-year-old and 8-year-old children, along with one adult. I was worried that it might be boring since it was a long course, but we stopped at various places, which made the travel time to the next location feel relatively short, so we had no particular issues. It was great to efficiently visit the main spots in the northern area. The souvenir shop had quite a long line, so I think those who plan to buy a lot of souvenirs during this tour might feel like their time is short at certain points. We made wonderful memories. Thank you very much.

5歳、8歳の子どもと大人1人で参加しました。
長いコースだったので飽きてしまうかな？と心配していましたが、いろんな場所に寄ってくれるので次の場所までの移動時間が比較的短く感じられるのか特に問題なく過ごせました。
北部の主要スポットを効率的に回れて良かったです。
お土産屋のレジが結構並ぶので、要所要所でこのツアーでお土産をたくさん買おうとしてる方は滞在時間が短く感じられるのではないかな、と思います。
良い思い出ができました。ありがとうございました。

There were 40 passengers on the bus, and only one was Japanese; the rest were Chinese. Several attractions were quite nice, but the bear farm at Showa Shinzan was very small, and the admission fee of 900 yen is not worth it. I do not recommend going there.

一车40位乘客，只有一位日本客人
其他都是中国人….
几个景点都很不错，出来昭和新山的熊牧场
非常小，门票900不值得，不推荐去

Everyone who participated was punctual, the guide was calm and enjoyable, the lunch was delicious, and we were able to purchase various souvenirs. All of these factors combined made the visit to Shirakawa-go and Gokayama even more enjoyable. Although there were no snow-covered roofs like in previous years, the charming scenery and the quiet falling snow made for a delightful day of sightseeing. Thank you very much.

参加された方がみなさん時刻に正確な方々だったこと、添乗してくださったガイドさんが穏やかで楽しい方だったこと、お昼ご飯が美味しかったこと、色々なお土産を購入できたこと、それらが全て組み合わさった上で、白川郷と五箇山の観光がさらに楽しいものとなりました。
例年のような雪のかぶった屋根ではありませんでしたが、趣のある景色、しずかな中降る雪に、楽しい観光の一日となりました。どうもありがとうございました。

This is a great tour that allows you to meaningfully explore Iriomote Island and Yufu Island in half a day. On Iriomote Island, you can see the mangrove forests up close on a sightseeing boat. And above all, riding the water buffalo cart on Yufu Island makes you feel like time stands still. It's packed with amazing experiences in a short time!

半日で西表島、由布島を有意義に廻れる良いツアーです。
西表島では、遊覧船でマングローブ林を身近で見ることが出来ます。そして何より、水牛車に乗っての由布島は時の流れを止めてくれます。
短時間に大感動が詰まっています！！

The tour consisted mainly of people from China besides us. The bus guide primarily spoke in Chinese, but communicated the meeting times and locations in Japanese. When the bus guide was speaking, I used a translation app to translate the Chinese and follow along. I was a bit anxious because of reviews mentioning a lot of foreign participants, but the bus guide was very nice and helpful.
The restrooms at Daikanbo and Kurokawa Onsen parking areas are not very clean, so I recommend using the restrooms at Kumamoto Castle or inside the ryokan.

ツアーは私たち以外は中国の方でした。バスガイドさんも基本的に中国語で話していましたが、集合時間や場所については日本語で話してくれました。バスガイドさんが話されているときは、翻訳アプリで中国語を翻訳して話を聞きました。外国の方が多いというクチコミがあり、不安でしたが、バスガイドさんがとてもいい人で助かりました。
大観峰や黒川温泉の駐車場のトイレは綺麗ではないので、熊本城や温泉旅館内のトイレの利用をおすすめします。

The Valley of Gangala was a wonderful space starting from the first cave hall. The guide's explanations were excellent, allowing us to reflect on the history of ancient people. We also got to experience a sense of adventure. I hadn't researched much beforehand, but it turned out to be a truly lovely memory. The timing and walking distance were just right.

ガンガラーの谷は、最初の洞窟ホールみたいな場所からとても素敵な空間でした。案内人の説明も素晴らしく、古代の人々の歴史に思いを馳せることができました。探検気分も味わうことができました。あまり調べていなかったのですがたいへん素敵な思い出になりました。時間や歩行距離もちょうど良かったです。

The bus guide shared various stories about life in Okinawa, which was very enjoyable. For example, the reason why water tanks are placed on the roofs of houses in Okinawa, and the surprising fact that mangroves can be seen close to urban areas. I think this kind of information is hard to come by on a free trip. At both Sefa Utaki and the Gangala Valley, you walk a considerable distance, and since the ground can be uneven, wearing sneakers would be a good idea. The talk at Gangala Valley, which included the guide's jokes, was also entertaining.

バスガイドさんが沖縄の生活などの色んな話をしてくれて、とても良かった。例えば沖縄の家の屋根に給水タンクが乗っている理由とか、意外に市街地に近い所にもマングローブが見られることなど。フリーの旅だとなかなか得られない情報だと思う。斎場御獄+ガンガラーの谷、共にそれなりの距離を歩き、足元が良くないこともあるのでスニーカーなどが良いだろう。ガンガラーの谷はガイドさんのジョークを交えたトークも面白かった。
