All Reviews for Bus Tours

It was great to be able to enjoy the beautiful nature of Hokkaido on a day trip from Sapporo. It was reassuring and comfortable to leave the long-distance driving to the driver and relax in the car. The lunch had a rich menu, was hearty, and delicious. There were also foreign participants, but the guide used a translation device for explanations, so everyone gathered on time and there were no particular issues.

札幌から日帰りで北海道の大自然を観光できてとても良かったです。
長距離の移動をドライバーさんに任せて車内でのんびりして過ごせるので安心で快適です。
昼食はメニューが豊富でボリュームもあって美味しかったです。
外国人の方も参加していましたが、ガイドさんが翻訳機を使って説明していたので時間通りに集合していたし、特に問題ありませんでした。

It was my first time in Shirakawa-go, so participating in a guided tour made me feel very secure. The time spent until our arrival was also informative thanks to the guide, and I had a great time.

However, both Shirakawa-go and Gokayama had longer stay times, which left us with some extra time on our hands. I felt that arriving at Kanazawa Station around 3:30 PM would have been better. This is just our personal impression, and I apologize for that. Other than that, it was an excellent tour that I would recommend to everyone. If I have the chance, I would love to use this service again. Thank you!

初めての白川郷だったので、ガイドさん付きツアーはとても安心して参加できました。到着までの時間もガイドさんの案内で色々勉強になり、楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
ただ、白川郷、五箇山ともに、滞在時間が長めにとってあり、私たちには時間を持て余してしまいました。15時30分ころに金沢駅に到着だったらなぁと感じたしだいです。あくまでも私たちの感想です。すみません。そのほかは申し分なく、皆んなにおすすめできるツアーでした。機会があればまた利用させていただきます。ありがとうございました！

The new guide did a great job. I was impressed by their dedication, especially as they continued to provide guidance despite the heavy rain in the afternoon.

新人ガイドさんでしたが頑張りがとても良かったです。午後からの大雨にも負けずしっかり案内をしていた姿に
感動です。

I participated with a friend. The weather was nice, and the experience of riding the water buffalo cart while enjoying the beautiful scenery was amazing! It felt like time was flowing slowly, and I felt very fulfilled. The water buffalo named Neelan was very cute. Seeing the buffalo working in shifts made me feel motivated to do my best at work as well. I would love to use this service again when I visit Taketomi Island!

友人と2人で参加しました。
気候も良く、綺麗な景色を見ながらの水牛車体験は最高でした！
時間もゆっくり流れているような気がして、とても充実していました。
水牛のニーランくんがとても可愛かったです。
牛さんもシフト制で頑張っているので、仕事頑張ろうって思えました。笑
また竹富島に行く際は利用したいなと思いました‍♀️

Since I participated from Naha, it was a full-day tour! The guide shared various information while we were on the bus, so I didn't get bored! I wish we had about 10 more minutes at Manzamo and Pineapple Park, but other than that, it was a lot of fun with no complaints! We visited five places, and given the price, it was a great value!

那覇から参加したので丸一日のツアーでした！
バスに乗ってる間もガイドさんが色んなことを教えてくれるので退屈せずに済みました！
万座毛とパイナップルパークはもう10分くらい欲しかったですがそれ以外は文句なしで楽しかったです！
5箇所も回れてこの値段だったのでコスパ良かったです！

The guide explained the history and culture of Hokkaido, seasonal harvests, and the mountains visible from the highway, making the journey enjoyable despite the unique challenges of the region. We visited Asahiyama Zoo, and it was surprisingly warm for mid-February, so the animals were quite active. We learned about the importance of life for both humans and animals through the exhibits and the zookeepers' efforts to maintain the animals' well-being. We had a great day. Thank you very much.

ガイドさんが北海道の歴史、文化、季節の収穫物、高速から伺える山々等、道内ならではの苦労も説明して頂き道中楽しく過ごせました。私共は、旭山動物園でのコースでした。2月中旬にしては、暖かさだったので動物が以外と動いて、動物達の展示や、飼育員さんが動物の生命維持に人間も動物も命の大切さを学べるました。良い一日を過ごせました。有難う御座いました。

You can efficiently enjoy sightseeing in Ishigaki Island from the morning. I was able to listen to the sounds of the three lines and savor a hamburger made with Ishigaki beef. Kabira Bay is also beautiful and highly recommended. There’s a shop for black pearls, so it’s definitely a place you want to visit.

朝から効率よく石垣島観光ができます。
3線の音色を聴かせてくれたり石垣牛のハンバーグを食べて満喫できました。
川平湾も綺麗でオススメです。
黒真珠のお店もあるので是非立ち寄りたい場所です。

It was a satisfying plan that allowed us to efficiently visit three islands in one day, including lunch. We rented bicycles on Taketomi Island, which provided exercise and made for a fulfilling day.

一日で効率よく3島めぐれて
ランチ付で　十分満足なプランでした。
竹富島でレンタサイクルを借りて
運動にもなり盛りだくさんな1日でした。

I had a hard time finding the reception, as it was on the opposite side of the station, but I finally located it with some help. It's near the Daimaru side corridor, at the opposite entrance of the JR Tower Hotel. At the reception, I exchanged my voucher for a ticket. After checking in, I waited near the entrance of the building on the right side as you exit the station. When the time came, a staff member came to pick us up. There was a heavy snow warning, which made me worried, but by the time the tour started, the snow had stopped and the sun was out. There were 15 participants. First, we headed to the ski jump, but unfortunately, we couldn't use the lift for practice as they were preparing for the competition the next day, and we missed seeing it by the time we gathered. Next, we went to the Shiroi Koibito Park, and I was surprised by the building, which was beyond my expectations. We only had 30 minutes there, and it felt rushed; I wished we had another 30 minutes. After that, we went to the outer market, where I enjoyed a seafood bowl and had plenty of time to choose souvenirs. I've visited Sapporo many times, but this was my first time participating in a city bus tour, and I'm glad I did as it allowed us to efficiently see the highlights.

受付がわかりずらく駅の反対側で教えてもらいやっと見つけました。大丸側の通路、JRタワーホテル反対口です。受付でバウチャーを出して切符に換えてもらいます。受付をして駅を出て右側すぐの建物入口付近で待機。時間になると係員が迎えに来てくれます。大雪警報が出て心配しましが、ツアーが始まる頃にはやんで晴れました。参加者は15名。まずはジャンプ台へ翌日大会で準備中のためリフト使えず練習も残念ながら集合時間になってしまい見られませんでした。次に白い恋人パークへ、想像以上の建物に驚き、滞在時間が30分で、大忙しで回りました。あと、30分欲しかったです。その後、場外市場へ、海鮮丼を食べお土産もゆっくり選べて時間は充分でした。何度も札幌は訪れていますが、バスの市内観光は初めてでしたが見どころを効率よく回れるので参加して良かったです。

The Shikotsu Lake Ice Festival was canceled due to the warm winter causing the ice to melt, but it was a very fulfilling and enjoyable tour. Two-thirds of the tour participants were inbound travelers, but the guide provided explanations in two languages, so there were no issues. Unexpectedly, on the way back, we were able to see many cute deer.

支笏湖氷濤まつりは暖冬の影響で氷が溶けて中止となってしまいましたが、とても充実した楽しいツアーでした。
当日のツアー客の３分の２はインバウンドの方でしたが、ガイドさんは二カ国語を使分けて説明してくれるので問題ありません。
思いがけず帰り道にはたくさんのカワイイ鹿を見ることができました。

I was able to see various places in one day. There were many foreign visitors, and the guide spoke in both Japanese and Chinese, which made me feel like I was in a foreign country.
I think it's difficult for individuals to do sightseeing in one day, especially during the winter, so I had a great time being able to see so much.
Personally, I was disappointed that the main event, the Shikotsu Lake Ice Festival, was canceled, but I hope to make a comeback next year. I think I will choose Bell Tours for that time.

1日で色々な所を見ることが出来た。外国の方が多く、ガイドさんも日本語と中国語でお話しされていて、ちょっと外国に来た気分でした。
個人では特に冬期は1日で観光するのは難しいと思うので、色々見学出来て楽しかったです。
個人的にメインの支笏湖氷濤祭りが中止になってしまい、残念でしたが、また、来年リベンジしたいな。と、思っています。その時にはベルツアーさんを選ぶと思います。

Basically, as everyone has mentioned in their reviews, there were many Chinese participants, and the guide was in Chinese. However, they personally addressed us in Japanese with great care!

Since I can't drive, I was satisfied with being efficiently guided to various places that I couldn't reach on my own, allowing me to take photos. There was a moment when I thought, "If only we had more time!" while waiting to ride the ropeway at Showa Shinzan, but since we were on a tour, it couldn't be helped!

I had a wonderful experience in the magnificent Hokkaido, received great recommendations, and I am very satisfied! Thank you!

基本的にみなさん口コミに書かれている通り、参加者は中国人が多く、中国語でのガイドになりました。私達へは個人的に日本語で丁寧にお声がけいただきました！

車が運転できないので、自力で行けないところへ効率よく様々な箇所に案内してもらえるので写真を撮ったりするには満足しています。
昭和新山でロープウェイに乗るにはあと5分…滞在時間が長かったら！と思うような時間配分もあったのですが、ツアーで動いてましたので、仕方ないですね！

とても壮大な北海道を体験できておすすめも教えてもらい、大変満足しています！ありがとうございました！

The bus guide helped us understand the local area of the island well. The island tour was also enjoyable. For lunch, we had a hamburger lunch.

バスガイドさんが島の方で地元がよく理解出来ました。
島観光も楽しかった。
昼食はハンバーグランチでした。

For 3,300 yen, I visited two places in half a day, and on top of that, they took me to the airport. With a bus guide, I was able to enjoy sightseeing while gaining a good understanding of Okinawa. Thank you very much. I'm grateful.

半日で2か所をめぐって3300円、おまけに空港に送り届けてくれるのです。バスのガイド付きなので沖縄をよく理解しながら観光することができました。有り難うございました。感謝

It was the perfect trip for someone like me who doesn't have a driver's license.
It can be quite challenging to visit so many different attractions, so I truly appreciated being taken around slowly by bus.
I was able to enjoy the scenery from the bus, and the explanations from the bus guide were very easy to understand and informative.
I would love to use this service again.

車の免許が無い私には最高な旅でした。
これだけの色んな名所を巡るのは大変なので
バスでゆっくり連れて行っていただけるのは
本当に有り難いです。
バスからも景色をゆっくり眺められるし、バスガイドさんの説明もとても聞きやすく、勉強になりました。
また利用したいと思いました。

I was a bit anxious because there were many foreigners and it seemed like we might have to share tables, but the seat next to me was empty, so I had plenty of space. The guide provided explanations in Chinese, Japanese, and English, and then gave detailed explanations to each table, which was very considerate. Perhaps there were fewer Japanese participants? I appreciated how they took the time to teach us various things. It was also nice that the driver was a woman and drove safely.

外国の方も多いのと相席になる事がある様で、少し不安でしたが、隣の席は取られてなく広く使えました。
ガイドさんの説明も中国語、日本語、英語での説明と、その後に各席に説明して丁寧でした。
日本人の参加が少なかったのか？気を遣って色々教えていただき感謝。
運転手も女性で安全運転で良かったです。

Thank you for your assistance.
In the morning, we departed from the remote island terminal, enjoyed a mangrove tour, and traveled by bus, making for a timely and fulfilling trip.
When crossing to Yufu Island by water buffalo, there was an announcement and they sang island songs, but I’m sorry, I thought they could use more practice.
The lady on the mangrove cruise was skilled.
Thank you very much.

お世話になりました。
朝、離島ターミナルからの出発、マングローブ観光、バス移動と、タイムリーな充実した旅になりました。
水牛で由布島に渡る時、アナウンスや、島唄を歌ってくれるのですが、すみません。もっと練習した方が良いと思いました。
マングローブクルーズのお姉さんは、上手でした。
ありがとうございました。

I visited the two gassho-zukuri villages of Shirakawa-go and Gokayama.
Shirakawa-go had many tourists, with plenty of souvenir shops and restaurants, making it enjoyable as a tourist spot.
Gokayama, on the other hand, didn't have much of a touristy feel, allowing me to see a more natural village landscape.
Both had their own unique charm, and I was glad to have visited both.

白川郷と五箇山の二つの合掌造り集落を巡りました。
白川郷は観光客が多く、お土産屋さんや食べ物屋さんもたくさんあり、観光スポットとして楽しむことができました。
五箇山は、観光スポットらしさはあまりなく自然な集落の姿を見ることができました。
二つともそれぞれに良さがあり、どちらも見学出来て良かったです。

I had a great time interacting in English with foreign friends who love Japan. It was wonderful to engage in cultural exchange with people from Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, and Australia. I was glad to explain the matcha experience. Although Mount Fuji was obscured by clouds, I was happy to take photos by Lake Yamanaka. Overall, I was about 70% satisfied. The meeting point in the morning was confusing due to various tour buses arriving one after another, so I think it would have been better to have clearer and more noticeable signs.

親日の外国の方々と英語で交流でき、楽しかった。
台湾、マレーシア、シンガポール、オーストラリアの方々と異文化交流ができ良かった。
お抹茶体験を説明できてよかった。富士山は雲がかかって見えなかったが、山中湖畔で、写真が撮れたのでよかった。
全体的には、70パーセントの満足。
朝の集合場所が、色々なツアーバスが次々と来て、迷ったので、もう少し分かりやすい目につきやすい看板などあると良かったと思う。

The view of Mount Eniwa, Mount Fubetsu, and Mount Tarumae from Lake Shikotsu was very beautiful. Unfortunately, this time I couldn't see Mount Yotei from Lake Toya, but the view from Mount Usu, which I accessed via the ropeway, was breathtaking. I had been to all these places in the summer, but the snowy scenery was also fantastic.

支笏湖から見える恵庭岳、風不死岳、樽前山はとても美しい景色でした。今回は残念ながら洞爺湖から羊蹄山を観ることはで出来ませんでしたがロープウェイで登った有珠山から景色は圧巻です。
全て夏に行った事のある所でしたが雪景色も最高でした。

I chose this course because even though it's a bit more expensive, it allows for an efficient visit to two locations. With the cheaper course, the bus had unreserved seating, which meant I would have to line up each time, leading to a loss of time. When I actually went, there was a heavy snow warning, and the regular bus service was uncertain. Since it was a sightseeing bus, I didn't have to worry about the return bus not showing up, allowing me to use my time effectively. There were also some guides for minor sightseeing spots, which was nice.

多少高くても2ヶ所を効率よく回れるのでこちらのコースにしました。
もう一つの安いコースだとバスが自由席だったりして、いちいち並ばねばならず、時間のロスだと感じまして。
実際に行った時は大雪警報が出ていて、定期バスの運行も不確かでした。
観光バスなので、帰りのバスが来ないとかの心配もなく、時間を有意義に使えました。
ちょっとした観光スポットの案内などもあり、良かったです。

I went to the Churaumi Aquarium on a tour from American Village. It was feeding time for the whale sharks, and I was able to see them swimming vertically. I've seen whale sharks many times, but seeing them in that vertical position was truly impressive due to their size! No matter how many times I go, I am always amazed by that large tank and the whale sharks!

Since Churaumi is far away, taking a bus tour is convenient, and you can chat while traveling. Plus, the ticket price is included, making it a great deal, so I've used this tour several times. Since I often stay in American Village, I hope more tours departing from American Village will be available.

アメリカンビレッジ発のツアーで、美ら海水族館に行きました。
丁度、ジンベイサメの餌の時間で、縦になっいるジンベイサメを見られました。
ジンベイサメは何度も見ていますが、縦になっている姿はさすがに、大きいなー！と感動しました。
何回行っても、あの大きな水槽とジンベイサメには感動します！

美ら海までは遠いので、バスツアーだと楽ですしおしゃべりしながら行けるし、チケット代も込みなのでお得なので、何回かこのツアーを使っています。
アメリカンビレッジに滞在する事が多いので、アメリカンビレッジ発の他のツアーも増えるといいなと思います。

I was able to participate again this year, just like last year. Last year's water buffalo carts had Musashi and Kojiro, but this year it was Sota and Mirai, and since I follow them on Instagram, it was fun to see their individual personalities. The round-trip bus had a driver who provided commentary; last year it was entertaining, but this year it felt more negative, and I wanted to hear more about Iriomote Island. The bento from Yufu Island was delicious, and overall, I was very satisfied.

昨年に続き今年も参加できました。
昨年の水牛車は武蔵くんと小次郎くんでしたが、今年は颯太くんと未来くんでインスタもフォローしているので、それぞれ個性があって楽しかったです。
往復のバス、運転手さんが案内をしてくれるのですが昨年は面白かったけど今年はネガティブな感じでもっと西表島のことを聞きたかったです。
由布島のお弁当も美味しいし全体的にとても満足です。

I participated in a tour last July and was deeply impressed. I heard that Shirakawa-go is even more charming in winter, so I decided to join this time. I was moved by the contrast of the white snow and the black gassho-zukuri architecture from the observation deck. The surrounding mountains and village were covered in snow, creating an incredibly fantastical and beautiful landscape. Next time, I would like to visit Shirakawa-go again during the recommended light-up and autumn foliage season.

昨年7月にツアーに参加しまして感激。冬の白川郷は更に魅力的とお話しを聞きまして、今回参加致しました。
展望台からの雪の白と合掌造りの黒のコンストストに感動しました。周囲の山々と集落に雪が積もり、最高に幻想的な美しい風景でした。
今度は、ガイドさんにお勧めされたライトアップ、紅葉の季節にまた白川郷に行ってみたいです。

I was really helped by being able to explore the city of Kyoto on my own from Osaka Station. I had a wonderful trip. The guide was also kind and taught me a lot of things, thank you. It was very helpful.

京都の街をこれだけ大阪駅から個人でまわれたので本当に助かりました とてもいい旅が出来ました。ガイドさんも親切でいろいろ教えてくださいました、ありがとうございます。助かりました。

I was surprised by how much snow there was, and it was truly moving. I took a friend from the Philippines, and they were excited as it was their first experience with snow.

思ったより雪が多く、感動しました。フィリピンからの友達を連れて行きましたが、初めての雪体験で興奮状態でした。

Since she is Filipino, we participated with 10 people including relatives and friends. Most of the tour guests were from Southeast Asia and had a warm atmosphere. The guide was young and made a great impression with their earnest efforts. The only complaint, if I had to mention one, was that the price was a bit high. I would like to use the tour again next time.

彼女がフィリピン人なので、親戚友人含め10人で参加しました。ツアー客は、ほぼ東南アジアの方でほんわかしてました。ガイドさんは若く一生懸命対応してたのが好印象です。金額が少し高かったのが強いて言えば不満点。次回もツアーを利用したいと思います。

The weather was favorable, and the meticulous planning for the bus transfer on Iriomote Island was wonderful. On Taketomi Island, I walked over 10,000 steps. You definitely need comfortable shoes.
Google Maps didn't work.

天候にも恵まれ、西表島でのバス中継が必要で、綿密な計画が素晴らしかった。竹富島は、なんと１万歩以上歩きました。必ず、運動靴が必要です。
gogle mapが機能しませんでした。汗　　

The bus was smaller than I expected, and since it was full, I felt a bit cramped. However, everyone participating was punctual, so there was no stress from waiting.

思っていたよりバスが小さく、満席だったので、少し窮屈さを感じました。参加の皆さんは、きちんと集合時間を守られる方々ばかりだったので、待つストレスはなかったです。

The guide provided explanations in both Japanese and English alternately, and was quick and friendly, which made the tour enjoyable! They also adapted the sightseeing schedule flexibly due to traffic conditions.

ガイドさんが日本語と英語で交互にこまめに説明してくれ、対応もテキパキしていて気さくだったのでパスツアーが楽しめました！交通事情により観光の時間も臨機応変に対応していました。
