All Reviews for Bus Tours

I am a woman in my 60s. This was my first time participating in a solo bus tour. I had a bit of anxiety, but I was satisfied to be able to visit Lake Toya and Lake Shikotsu, which I had wanted to see. At the Showa Shinzan Visitor Center, I unexpectedly had fun learning about history.

Currently, solo travelers are still a minority, but I think their numbers will increase in the future. When that happens, I believe I will enjoy myself just as I did this time if I am treated normally without any special treatment, so I appreciate your understanding.

I was impressed by the tour guide's English skills, and it was a good opportunity for me to study English conversation again after a long time.

Thank you very much.

今回初めて、ひとりでのバスツアーに参加しました。少し不安もありましたが、行きたかった洞爺湖 支笏湖を廻ることが出来て満足でした。また昭和新山のビジターセンターでは、思い掛けず歴史を学ぶことが出来て楽しかったです。
今はまだソロタビの参加者は少数派ですが、今後は結構増えるのではないでしょうか…その際は今回の様に特別扱いもなく、フツーに接していただければ勝手に楽しむと思いますので どうぞよろしくお願いします。
添乗員さんの英語力に感心しながら、久しぶりに英会話の勉強にもなりました。

ありがとうございました

The weather was wonderful, and it felt great to get splashed by the water while entering the sea. I got a little wet, but I dried off quickly, and before I knew it, it was over. It was a fleeting moment.

天気にも恵まれて、気持ちよく、海に入る際に水しぶきをうけて、少し濡れましたが、あっという間に乾いて、そして、あっという間に終わってしまい、あっという間のひとときでした。

I wish the free time at Kiyomizu-dera was a bit longer. The announcements inside the pass were not audible towards the back. I had a great time.

清水寺フリー時間がもう少し長く。パス内でのアナウンスが後ろの方まで聞こえなかったです。とても楽しかったです

It was a great value tour that allowed us to visit so many sightseeing spots in just one day. It was unfortunate that it was a windy day, but I was very satisfied that it wasn't raining. I'm grateful for the tour guide, who was very nice, and for the comfortable day we had. The guide provided information in both Japanese and Chinese, and we enjoyed various sightseeing locations, dining spots, and flowers, making the most of our time in Hokkaido.

I'm also thankful to the driver for safely taking us to so many places. Since lunch wasn't included in the plan, we were recommended to go to Seicomart if the restaurant was crowded, but luckily we were able to enter a soba restaurant and enjoyed delicious soba. I was very satisfied to have soft serve ice cream, which is a must-have during sightseeing, before heading home.

Since there isn't much time to buy souvenirs, those participating in this tour should keep that in mind. I would love to meet this driver and tour guide again. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to efficiently visit sightseeing spots!

日帰りでこんなに沢山観光地をまわれるお得なツアーでした。
風が強い日だったのが残念でしたが雨じゃないだけでも大満足。
添乗員さんもとても良い方で居心地の良い一日を過ごせたことに感謝です。
日本語中国語両方での案内をしてくださり色々な観光場所やお食事処、花木など北海道を満喫できる内容ばかりでした。
運転手さんも安全運転でこんなに沢山の場所に連れて行って下さり本当に感謝です。
お昼がついていないプランなので、レストランが混んでいたらセイコーマートもおすすめされたのですが、運良くお蕎麦屋さんに入れて美味しいお蕎麦を堪能しました。
観光にはつきもののソフトクリームも食べれて大満足で帰宅しました。
お土産はサクサク買わないと時間が無いので、このツアーに参加される方は参考までに。。。
またこの運転手さんと添乗員さんに出会いたいなぁ。
観光地だけをサクサクまわりたい人には超おすすめのツアーですよ♪

It was my first trip to Okinawa. Since I couldn't reserve a rental car due to Golden Week, I joined this bus tour. There was heavy traffic, but the bus took us everywhere, so I was able to enjoy it without stress. At the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, I focused on the Oki-chan Theater and the whale shark exhibit. I quickly finished my meal! It was a bit busy, but I was able to buy souvenirs as well. Be careful as the bus parking lot is quite far away. The itinerary was packed, but it was great for efficiently exploring during my first trip to Okinawa.

初沖縄旅行でした。レンタカー予約がゴールデンウィークだという事もあり出来ずに、こちらのバス旅行に参加しました。大渋滞でしたがバスが全部連れて行ってくれるので、ストレスなく楽しめました。美海水族館はおきちゃん劇場とジンベイザメのブースに絞る。ご飯もサッと済ませる！と少し忙しいですが、お土産もちゃんと買えました．バスの駐車場が離れているので注意が必要です。盛りだくさんのコースですが初沖縄旅行で
効率的に周れるので良かったです。

All the areas I recognized from the guidebook were covered, and lunch was included. It was quite good. Personally, I think the performance is worth the 12,800 yen, especially since it includes lunch.

ガイドブックで見覚えがあるエリアは全て網羅され且つ昼食付き。かなり良かったです。個人的には12,800円でも「昼飯付きだから」と納得出来るパフォーマンスと思います。

As soon as we realized we wouldn't make it on time due to traffic, we quickly got off the bus and walked together to Shirakawa-go. Our guide also shared great recommendations for souvenirs and local cuisine, creating many unforgettable memories that we wouldn't have experienced otherwise. This was a unique type of guide. I hope we can meet again somewhere.

渋滞で間に合いそうにないと判断するや、すぐにバスから降りて歩いて全員で白川郷に向かったり、おすすめのお土産やグルメ情報を教えてくれたり、なかなか経験出来ない思い出が沢山できました。今までにないタイプのガイドさんでした。
またどこかで巡り会えますように。

Star Sand
The water buffalo was amazing!
I had fun visiting three islands in one day!
The tour bus driver was also great at storytelling, it was the best!
I want to come back for sightseeing again! ✨

星の砂
水牛最高でした！
１日で3島まわれて楽しかったです！
観光バスの運転手さんも話が上手くて最高でした
また観光にきたいです✨

We participated as a group of three. The weather was cloudy, but it was great to spend the day without rain just before the start of the rainy season. During busy periods like holidays, it seems you can get caught in traffic.

The trip there was a bit crowded, but the guide was wonderful, and we were able to enjoy ourselves on the bus while learning a lot about Okinawa.

Weather and crowds depend on luck, but I highly recommend this for efficiently exploring and learning about Okinawa. One of our family members had difficulty walking, but it was a relief that they were able to store the wheelchair in the cargo area.

３人で参加しました。
天気はくもりでしたが、梅雨入り前
の時期に雨も降らずに１日過ごせてよかったです。
連休など混雑期は、渋滞に巻き込まれることもあるようです。

行きは少し混雑しましたが、ガイドさんがすばらしく、車内でも楽しめたり、沖縄のことを色々知ることができました。

天気や混雑は運次第ですが、効率よく
まわって沖縄のことを知るためにはすごくオススメです。
足が悪い家族がいたのですが、車いすを貨物室に預かってもらえ助かりました

I was worried that the tourist spots would be crowded, but it was fine. It wasn't a rushed schedule, which was very nice. I couldn't have visited this many places in one day on my own, and I appreciated that they planned to end with the beautiful sunset at Lake Shikotsu. It was a well-thought-out plan.

観光地はどこも混んでいそうだと心配していましたが大丈夫でした。慌ただしい時間配分でもなくとても良かったです。個人では1日でこれだけ行けないし、夕日が綺麗な支笏湖を最後にと考えてくれてあったり、よく考えられたプランで良かったです。

I used this service at the end of my trip to Ishigaki Island. As a beginner in Ishigaki, I found it to be a very worthwhile tour that allowed me to visit historical sites and attractions. I felt a great impression from the guide who subtly promoted Higashi Kotsu. Next time, I will use Higashi Kotsu's route bus. As an option, I recommend the glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay.

石垣島最終に利用しました。
石垣島、初心者でしたので、歴史、名所を回れて、とてもお得感のあるツアーでした。
さり気なく東交通を宣伝するガイドさんに、とても好感を感じました。
次は東交通の路線バスを利用しますね。
オプションですが、川平湾のグラスボートはオススメです。

I was able to have a fulfilling day in just one day. It was a bit hectic, but it was a great deal with the tour, and I would definitely recommend it to my friends.

1日で濃厚な日を過ごす事が出来ました。ちょっと慌ただしかったですが、お得なツアーでとても良かったです。友人にも勧めたく思いました。

I was very satisfied. The refreshing feeling while running is unbeatable. It's also very convenient to get off at the places I want to see and then hop back on! I used a two-day pass during the first half of Golden Week. About 80% of the people were foreigners, which was a sight you don't often see in Japan. It looked like a lot of fun. I definitely want to use it again if I have the opportunity.

とても満足でした。走ってるときの爽快感はたまりませんね。そして自分の観たい所で降りて、また乗ってととても便利ですね！私はゴールデンウィーク前半に２日券で利用しました。８０％が外人でとても日本では無いような光景でした。とても楽しそうでしたよ。また機会が有りましたら是非利用したいと思っております。

I participated during the 2023 Golden Week. The bus was nearly full, with more than half of the passengers being inbound tourists (mainly from Asia). The guide was of Chinese descent and provided information in Japanese, Chinese, and English, which was impressive. All the participants seemed to be enjoying themselves throughout the day, and the itinerary had a perfect time allocation, making it a highly satisfying day.

２０２３年GWに参加。バスはほぼ満席、そのうち半数以上が（主にアジア圏の）インバウンド観光客でした。ガイドさんも中華系の方で、日本語、中国語、英語の３か国語を駆使して案内をしてくれ、感動しました。どの参加者も終始楽しそうで、行程も時間配分がちょうどよく、満足度の高い一日となりました。

Touring in a short schedule... I struggled to decide. Everywhere was crowded, and I don't think I could have done the same sightseeing using public transportation. 😊

短い日程での観光…悩んで決めました。どこも人で溢れ、公共機関では同じ観光はできなかったと思います(^^)

It's not a large island, so by taking this bus, you can get a good overview of Yakushima. The flying fish fry for lunch was delicious, and the bus guide was kind. It was an enjoyable tour.

大きな島ではないので
このバスに乗れば　屋久島のことが一通りわかります。
昼ごはんの　トビウオのフライが美味しかった
バスガイドさんも親切で
楽しいツアーでした。

Due to an input error with my address, I was able to make a reservation, but I did not receive a confirmation email. When I consulted via email, they considered my situation and provided appropriate instructions for handling it. I was able to board without any issues, which was a relief.
On the day of the trip, the weather was nice, there was no traffic, and the explanations about the redevelopment of Midosuji and the temple town were interesting and left a lasting impression.
Thank you very much. I had a great time.

　アドレスのインプットミスにより、予約は出来たが返信メールが届かず、対応をメールで相談した所、検討いただき適切な処理方法を指示いただきました。無事に乗車ができ、安心しました。
　当日は天気が良く、渋滞もなく、御堂筋の再開発の説明，寺町の説明は面白く印象に残りました。
有難うございました。楽しかった。

I chose a bus tour plan because I was anxious about walking around and moving by bicycle during my pregnancy. The weather was great, and even though it was May, it was really hot, so taking the bus was definitely the right decision! Thank you very much.

妊娠中で歩き回ることや自転車等の移動に不安があった為、バス観光のプランにしました。
お天気にも恵まれ5月でしたがすごく暑かったので
バス移動で大正解でした！ありがとうございました。

I went with my parents, and we had a fulfilling time enjoying the sights. It was a rewarding day. The tour guide at the sightseeing spots provided thorough explanations, which was also educational. The hotel shuttle service was great, as they confirmed the reservation before departing.

両親と3人で行きました。
充実な時間と観光を楽しめて、充実した1日でした。
観光地のガイドさんも丁寧に説明してくれるので勉強にもなります。
ホテルまで送迎もあり、ちゃんと予約者の搭乗を確認してから出発してくれるのが良かった。

It was a shame that the clouds were thick and the color of the sea was a bit dull, but I was glad to see various places. The guide's stories and the songs of Okinawa were wonderful too!

曇が厚く、海の色も少しどんよりしていたのが残念でしたが、色んな場所が見れてよかったです。ガイドさんのお話や沖縄の歌も素敵でした！

On May 2nd, I participated in a Yakuzaru sightseeing tour around Yakushima. After a tiring camping trip the day before, hiking from Mount Miyanoura to Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo, this bus tour of Yakushima's famous spots was just perfect. The beautiful views of the sea and mountains from the window were amazing. The guide, Ms. Kawasaki (a woman who was born and raised in Yakushima and loves the island), was very entertaining and made the experience a lot of fun. I was impressed by Chihiro Falls, Okawa Falls, and the beautiful sandy beach at Inakahama. On the way to Seibu Forest Road and Yakusugi Land, I also encountered cute Yakuzaru and deer, which was fantastic. The fried flying fish I had for lunch was delicious, making it a very satisfying sightseeing tour. It's definitely more efficient than renting a car, and you get to enjoy the guide's fun explanations, so I highly recommend it.

5月2日にやくざる号での屋久島周遊観光に参加しました。前日の宮之浦岳〜縄文杉〜白谷雲水峡の縦走登山キャンプで疲れた体には屋久島の名所をバスで回ってくれる周遊観光ツアーはとっても良かったです。窓から見る美しい海と山の景色は最高でした。ガイドの川崎さん？（屋久島で生まれ育った屋久島を愛する女性）のトークもすごく面白く大変楽しかったです。千尋の滝、大川の滝、田舎浜の綺麗な砂浜には感動しました。西部林道やヤクスギランドに行く途中で可愛いやくざるや鹿さんにも出会えて最高でした。お昼に食べたとび魚の唐揚げも美味しくてとても満足な周遊観光でした。レンタカーを借りて廻るより効率的でガイドさんの楽しい説明も聞けるので絶対におすすめです。

Thank you to all the staff for the very polite explanations! I was able to efficiently visit two gassho-zukuri villages and enjoy the different atmospheres.

スタッフの皆様はとても丁寧に説明して頂いて、ありがとうございました!
効率良く、２つの合掌造りの村を回れて、違う雰囲気を楽しめました。

It was unfortunately cloudy, but it was comfortable and not too hot. This tour is efficient for a one-day trip and just the right fit, plus the transportation is on a large high-speed boat, so I recommend it.

あいにくの曇りでしたが、暑くなく快適に過ごせました。1日で回るには効率が良く、丁度いいツアー、移動も大型の高速船なのでおすすめです。

The bus tour was well-organized, the meals were delicious, and it was truly great. Especially, the tour guide was entertaining and very kind, so I was extremely satisfied.

バスツアーの内容が充実しており、食事も美味しく大変良かったです。特に添乗員さんが面白く、またとても親切だったので、大満足です。

The weather was bad, which was a bit disappointing, but throughout the trip, the bus guide kept us entertained, and somehow the time passed enjoyably. I wonder if the glass boat at Kabira Bay would have looked even more beautiful if the weather had been nice?

天気が悪く少し残念でしたが、終始バスガイドさんが楽しませてくれなんとか楽しく時間が過ぎていきました。
川平湾のグラスボートも天気が良ければもっと綺麗に見えたのかな？

For those visiting Yakushima for the first time!!
For those who haven't been in a while...
A bus tour around Yakusugi Land and the Jomon Cedar will serve as a foundational study for Yakushima sightseeing.
Since I participated in this tour at the beginning of my 4-night, 5-day trip, it was very helpful.
I think it's good to visit Shiratani Unsuikyo (6-7 km) followed by the Jomon Cedar (22 km) for a gradual acclimatization.

「やくざる号」午後
初めて、屋久島を訪れる方に！！
久々の方へも、、、
ヤクスギランド、紀元杉をバスで、周り、屋久島観光の基礎勉強となります。
屋久島旅行の始めに（初日）ツアーに参加したので、4泊5日の旅行に非常に役だちました。
白谷雲水峡6〜7km、縄文杉22kmの登山の順に観光すると、身体も慣れるので、良いと思います。

I used this service on the day I returned from Okinawa to the mainland. It was a compact tour that took me to Naha Airport. I have been to Okinawa many times, but this was my first visit to Sefa Utaki. The guide was experienced and knowledgeable about the area, which was great.

沖縄から本土に帰る日に利用。コンパクトなツアーで那覇空港まで送って頂くコース。沖縄には何度も行っているが，斎場御嶽は，この機会で始めて訪問。ガイドさんもベテランで現地に詳しく良かった。

The water buffalo was cute, and I was healed by the relaxing time. Also, it was great to see many fish while on the glass-bottom boat.

水牛可愛くてのんびりとした時間に癒されました。
また、グラスボートもたくさんのお魚が見れて良かったです。

I was very satisfied as I was able to efficiently secure just the right amount of sightseeing time and visit various places! The guide was also very polite and kind. I thought it was wonderful that the guide provided individual explanations about the meeting time to the foreign participants.

効率よくちょうどいい観光時間も確保して、色々回れて大満足です！
ガイドさんもとても丁寧で親切でした。
外国人の参加者のかたにも、ガイドさんが個別に集合時間などの説明をされていたのが、とても素晴らしいと思いました。

You can take a bus tour around Yakushima, visiting famous sightseeing spots in just one day. The time spent at each location is a bit short, so it feels like you're moving quickly, but you can still enjoy it thoroughly. Thanks to the guide's explanations, the experience goes beyond just looking; you can learn about the names and ecology of the flora and fauna, as well as the history and current situation of Yakushima, which I think is the charm of the tour. It's an experience that you wouldn't get from exploring freely with a rental car. I especially recommend it for those visiting Yakushima for the first time.

屋久島を１日かけて有名な観光名所をぐるっとバスで回ります。各所の滞在時間はやや短めなのでサクサク進む感じはありますが、それでも充分楽しめます。
ガイドさんのお話しのお陰でただ観るだけで終わらず、動植物の名前や生態、屋久島の歴史や現状など豆知識を知りながら観光ができるのはツアーの醍醐味だと思います。レンタカーでの自由な観光では得られない体験ができると思います。特に屋久島に来るのが初めての方にはお勧めしたいです。
