All Reviews for Bus Tours

I was on a business trip, but I decided to take an earlier Shinkansen and do some sightseeing for about an hour. I wasn't sure where the platform was, but I asked someone nearby and got to the station right away. There were a lot of foreigners, which added to the tourist vibe, and the guide's information was easy to understand! I became a bit more familiar with Osaka, which I always visit. The bus and the weather were both comfortable.

出張でしたが新幹線を少し早めにして1時間ほど観光してみました。
乗り場がわからなかったのですがその辺の人に聞いてすぐ駅から着きました。
外人さんだらけでしたが、それもまた観光客気分でガイドさんの情報もわかりやすかったです！
いつも行く大阪に少し詳しくなれました。
バスも天気も快適でした。

The bus tour in snowy Hokkaido was fantastic.
I was able to experience the snow up close.
The lunch was delicious as well.
I thoroughly enjoyed the recommended gourmet options from the guide, and it was a very satisfying tour.
Thank you very much!

雪のある北海道はバスツアーが最高でした。
大丈夫に触れる事ができました。
昼食も美味しかったです。
ガイドさんオススメグルメも堪能でき大満足のツアーでした。
ありがとうございました

We participated with our family of four in mid-March. Although the weather was unfortunate, the guide's explanations were very good, and the conversations in the vehicle were enjoyable and created a friendly atmosphere. Also, at Yakusugi Land, the walk in the heavy rain was tough, but the guide provided thorough explanations even in those conditions. The price, including lunch, is reasonable, and we had a great time!

3月中旬に家族4人で参加しました。
あいにくの天気でしたがガイドさんのご説明がとてもよく、
車内での話も楽しく和やかな雰囲気でした。
また、ヤクスギランドでは大雨での散歩は大変でしたが、
ガイドさんもそんな中しっかり説明をしてくださいました。
昼食付きでこの値段はお手頃で満喫できます！

On my first trip to Yakushima, I found out about the Jomon Sugi tour while making a reservation with VELTRA, and I was curious, so I also made a reservation with Katagiri. The interior was very clean and had a great atmosphere. When I arrived and said my name, they guided me right away! Both the appetizer and the hitsumabushi were incredibly delicious ☺︎ The bonito dashi was the best! The pasta and other menu items also looked delicious, and I was very interested in them! I definitely want to visit again when I go back to Yakushima (*^▽^*) Thank you very much ♡

初の屋久島旅行、でベルトラさんで縄文杉ツアーを予約した際に知り、気になったのでかたぎりさんも予約させてもらいました。
店内もとてもキレイで雰囲気が良かったです。
伺って名前を言ったらすぐに案内して下さりました！
前菜もひつまぶしもとっても美味しかったです☺︎
あごだしが最高でした♪
パスタなど他のメニューも美味しそうでとても気になりましたー！また屋久島に行った際はぜひ行きたいと思います(*^▽^*)
ありがとうございました♡

It was convenient that there was a shuttle service to the hotel since I was traveling with children. The tour mixed customers who booked directly with those from major travel agencies, but we were able to participate without confusion thanks to color-coded stickers. I was worried about getting seasick during the nearly one-hour boat ride from Ishigaki to Iriomote Island, but there were designated seats for those prone to motion sickness, and I managed to avoid feeling sick. We could also choose the bus time back to the hotel, which felt like a free plan with transportation and meals included. I enjoyed the stories from the bus driver and guide, as well as the boatman during the mangrove tour.

The only downside was that the shuttle service from the hotel to the port was quite careless; mispronouncing names was common, the driving was rough like being in a local acquaintance's car, and during the pickup, they almost left without confirming the customers. It felt a bit off.

子連れで参加したので、ホテルまで送迎があったのは楽でした。
ツアーは、直接申し込んだお客さんと大手旅行会社のツアーのお客さんと混載でしたが、色分けしたシールなどで間違う事なく参加できました。
石垣から西表島までの1時間弱の船酔いが心配でしたが、船酔いしやすい人向けのシートなども示してあって酔わずに終われました。
帰りのホテルまでのバスの時間も選べて、フリープランに移動と食事のついたイメージです。
バスの運転手さん兼ガイドさんや、マングローブ下りの船頭さんのお話など楽しく過ごせました。
一点だけ残念だったのは、ホテルから港までの送迎がかなり雑で、名前の読み間違えは当たり前、運転も地元の知り合いの車に乗せられたような荒さ、行きのピックアップではお客さんを確認せずに出発しようとしたり、ちょっと…な感じでした。

The ox cart in Taketomi Town was quite busy, so I should have chosen the bus tour, but overall, the weather was nice and it was a good trip.

竹富町の牛車が慌ただしかったので、バス観光を選択するべきだったが、全体的には天気も良くいい旅でした。

The bus roll call on Taketomi Island was the worst! I almost got left behind! I managed to catch the last boat, but...

After that, it was the best memory.

竹富島のバスの点呼が最悪！
置いて行かれる始末！
なんとか最終の船に間に合ったけど…

後は最高の思い出です。

We were able to efficiently visit three islands. My grandchildren were very happy. It would have been nice to have a bit more time to explore Yufu Island and Taketomi Island.

効率よく3島巡りができました。
孫たちも大変喜んでいました。
由布島　竹富島もう少し観光する時間があったら良かったです

The tour duration is on the longer side, but the sightseeing trip from Fukuoka to Yamaguchi Prefecture, crossing the Kanmon Straits, is fantastic. There are also appropriate breaks at drive-ins.

As for improvements, I would like a 90-minute lunch break at Karato Market and Akama Shrine. Conversely, I don't think we need 60 minutes at Motonosumi Shrine. I would prefer 30 minutes at Tsunoshima Bridge.

I look forward to the time allocation next time. Thank you to the driver for the long hours.

ツアーの所要時間は長めだが、福岡から山口県まで関門海峡を渡っての観光地巡りは最高です。
適度にドライブインでの休憩もあります。
改善点としては唐戸市場&赤間神宮での昼食タイムは90分は欲しい。逆にその分元隅神社は60分もいらない場所です。角島大橋は30分欲しいかな。
時間配分次回に期待してます。
ドライバーの方長時間ありがとうございました。

I experienced the Rainbow Bridge course that departs at 4:30 PM! Just before arrival, I was on the verge of freezing, but I became so engrossed in the photo opportunities along the way that I forgot about the cold. Above all, the guide's gentle voice and good tempo combined with the flowing scenery made it very enjoyable. It was a refreshing bus tour that cut through the wind, so I would like to use it again when I visit Tokyo. Since there is a temperature difference in the evening, it's best to be well-prepared for the cold.

16時半出発のレインボーブリッジコースを体験しました！
到着間際は寒さで限界ギリギリでしたが、途中途中のシャッターチャンスに寒さを忘れる程夢中になりました。
なんと言っても、ガイドさんの優しい声と、テンポの良さが、流れる景色と重なりとても楽しかったです。
風を切り走る爽快なバスツアーでしたので、東京に行った際はまた利用したいと思います。
夕方からは寒暖の差があるので、寒さ対策はしっかりした方がいいです。

We participated as a couple. We were worried about the weather for our late March trip, but it turned out to be quite nice, with plenty of sunshine and warm weather. During our stroll around Kabira Bay, the sunlight made for great photos. The male tour guide's talk and his performance on the sanshin were also enjoyable! It was a fun time chatting with the other people we spent time with.

夫婦2人で参加。
3月下旬の参加で、お天気が心配だったけれど紫外線たっぷりの暑汗ばむくらいのお天気でまずまず…。
川平湾散策の時も陽射しあり写真も映えました。
男性の添乗員さんのトークと三線も良かったです！
同じ時間を過ごした方々との会話も楽しい時間でした。

This time, I explored Osaka alone. I was completely lost in both the west and east, but taking the bus for sightseeing allowed me to explore on my own again, which was very good.

今回はばあば1人で大阪観光しました。とにかく西も東も分からない状況でしたがバスで観光したことでもう一度自分で散策することが出来大変良かったです。

On Saturday, March 25th, I participated in a Shirakawa-go tour. Since it takes about 80 minutes from Kanazawa Station, I decided to take this opportunity to extend my trip. I felt that it was quite popular among foreigners, with participants from Canada, Denmark, Italy, and other countries, especially since it is a UNESCO World Heritage site.

The guide's fluent English made the tour enjoyable and relaxed, filled with laughter. Thanks to the veteran guide's clear and fun explanations, as well as the safe driving of the driver, I was able to spend a comfortable time in the vehicle.

In Shirakawa-go, we had plenty of free time, so I took many photos of the entire village from the Ogimachi Castle Ruins Observation Deck. The guide also pointed out popular photo spots often featured in posters, allowing me to capture some great pictures. The grilled miso on magnolia leaves was fragrant and delicious (I was a bit worried if the portion was sufficient for the foreigners...).

I learned that in the gassho-zukuri style, many villagers work together to replace the thick thatched roofs. I also realized the difficulty of preserving the gassho-zukuri landscape, as there are still abandoned houses in the village.

Thank you to White Ring for organizing such a meaningful tour. The senbei-making experience along the way was also fun.

3月25日土曜日に白川郷ツアーに参加しました。金沢駅から約80分で行けるということで､せっかくの機会なので足を伸ばす事にしました。カナダ､デンマーク､イタリアなどからの参加があり世界遺産ということもあり外国の方にもかなり人気なのだと感じました。
添乗員さんの流暢な英語での案内に笑いがありとても和やかでした。ベテランの添乗員さんの分かりやすく楽しい説明､安全運転の運転手さんのお陰で安心して車中を過ごすことが出来ました。
白川郷では十分に自由時間をとっていただいたので荻町城跡展望台からの集落全体の景観に何度シャッターを切りました。またポスターによく使われる写真のスポットも教えていただき､いい写真が撮れました。朴葉味噌焼きは香ばしく美味しかったです（外国の方には量が充分だったか少し心配になりました…）。
合掌造では分厚い茅葺の屋根を多くの村人で協力し合って吹き替える事などを知りました。集落には廃屋がそのままになっているところもあり合掌造りの景観を今後も守っていくことの大変さを痛感しました。

有意義なツアーを企画してくださったホワイトリングさんありがとうございました。
途中のせんべい焼き体験も楽しかったです。

I didn't think the Noto Peninsula was large enough for a day trip, but it turned out to be a magnificent tourist destination. Despite the light rain, it was lucky that the bus could run on the Chirihama Beach Driveway. We were able to thoroughly explore the Shirakawa Senmaida, Rokkozaki Cape, the sacred cape "Blue Cave," and Mitsuke Island. The tour guide provided very clear explanations, and we were well taken care of with coffee service, snacks, and pamphlets. I am grateful for that. Even in the rain, they helped us take photos at the scenic spots, which was very much appreciated. The driver also drove safely and on schedule, allowing us to ride with peace of mind. It was a fulfilling trip that only a tour bus can offer. I also enjoyed the delicious Noto bowl for lunch.

能登半島は大きな半島で日帰りできるとは思っていませんでした。見事な観光地設定でした。あいにくの小雨でしたが、千里浜ドライブウェイをバスが走れラッキーでした。白米千枚田、禄剛埼岬、聖域の岬「青の洞窟」、見附島をくまなく回ることができました。添乗員さんがとてもわかりやすいガイドをしてくれ、コーヒーサービス、おやつ、パンフの配布までしてくれ至れり尽くせりでした。感謝です。雨中でもビュースポットでは、カメラのシャッターを押してくれ、ありがたかったです。運転手さんも安全運転で予定通り走行してくれ安心して乗車できました。ツアーバスならではの充実した旅をすることができました。ランチの能登丼も美味しくいただきました。

The guide was from China. There were few Japanese people on the bus, and many of the passengers were of Chinese descent. The guide fluently explained in both Japanese and Chinese. When engaging in personal conversations, they switched between Chinese and Japanese instantly while looking at the other person's face, which was impressive.

The route included Nakayama Pass, Sairo Observatory, Toyako Onsen, Showa Shinzan, Cape Chikyu, and Noboribetsu Hell Valley, but since I had already been to Hell Valley, I got off at Nakayama Pass and headed towards Hakodate (this needs to be discussed in advance).

I was able to visit most of the places I wanted to, so that was good. However, I felt that the first two locations could have had a shorter time, and I would have preferred to spend more time at Toyako Onsen; that's my only complaint.

ガイドさんは中国の方。車内は日本人が少数派で中華系の方が多く、ガイドさんは説明を日本語と中国語両方で流暢にやってました。
個人的な話をしに行っても、相手の顔を見て瞬時に中国語/日本語切り替えてて凄腕感。
中山峠→サイロ展望台→洞爺湖温泉→昭和新山→地球岬→登別地獄谷のルートでしたが、地獄谷は行ったことあるので地球峠で離脱して函館方面に向かいました(事前に要相談)。
行きたかったところだいたい行けたのでよかったです。最初の2箇所はもう少し時間短くても良かったので、洞爺湖温泉長く欲しかったくらいかな、不満は。

The driver's guidance was humorous and enjoyable. The atmosphere in the car lifted when we saw the capybaras and monkeys relaxing in the middle of the road.

運転手兼ガイドさんの案内がユーモアがあって楽しかったです。やくざるとやくしかが道の真ん中でくつろいでいる様子に車内のテンションが上がりました。

It has been about two years since our golden wedding anniversary, and I participated in your tour as a reward for my wife, who has endured hardships while I am still in good health. Being born in the Showa era, I hesitated to join alongside people from other countries when applying, but thanks to the skillful explanations from the tour conductor, I was able to participate with peace of mind. There were some delays in the itinerary, leading to several waiting times, but the kind and thorough communication made it feel less uncomfortable. My wife and I, being the oldest participants, made every effort to walk without causing any inconvenience to the other participants. I recommend that elderly individuals planning to join future tours "train their legs and back" before participating. I joined with confidence from my experience as a regional soccer referee, but unfortunately, I developed a "mild Achilles tendonitis." The reason I couldn't achieve the highest score was due to my own shortcomings.

Thanks to the skillful handling of the LIMON conductor and driver, I was able to travel safely and securely. I express my heartfelt gratitude along with my joy. "Thank you very much."

March 28, 2023, Bus 101, it was the best!!

金婚式には２年ほどありましたが、身体が丈夫な内に苦労を掛けた妻のご褒美に本人の希望で御社のツアーに参加させていただきました。昭和生まれのため
申込みの際、他国の人達との同行に躊躇もありましたが、ツアーコンダクターの方の巧みな説明に安心して参加できました。行程の遅れなども有り待ち時間が何度かありましたが、親切丁寧に伝えて頂けたので、それほど違和感はありませんでした。私たち夫婦が最高齢と参加者の皆様にご迷惑にならないように懸命に歩を運びました。今後、参加を予定している高齢者の皆さんツアー参加には「足腰を鍛えて」参加されることをお薦めします。サッカー地域審判員の経験から自信を持って参加しましたが「軽いアキレス腱炎」を発症してしまいました。最高何度を付けられなかった理由は私の不徳の為です。
LIMONのコンダクター様ドライバー様の巧みなハンドル捌きで安心安全に旅をさせて頂きました。
喜びと共に心より感謝申し上げます。「ありがとうございました」
2023年3月28日　バス101　最高でした！！　

It was cold and I felt like I might freeze, even though it was spring, because we left in the evening. However, being able to see various things in a short amount of time was efficient, and since it was my first time in Tokyo, I was satisfied.

夕方出発のため春とは言え風が冷たくて凍えそうでした。でも短時間で色々観れるのは、効率的で初の東京だったので満足でした。

Since there were 7 participants, we took a jumbo taxi for the tour. It was a homey tour where we took pictures of each other. The driver's guidance was clear and polite, which was great. The Okawa Falls were more impressive in person than in photos. On the Seibu Forest Road, we saw Yaku monkeys playing around and even encountered Yaku deer. Due to our flight schedule, we only had a morning course, but we had plenty of time to enjoy Yakushima. It was a half day that helped relieve the fatigue from trekking to Jomon Sugi.

参加人数が7名だったので、ジャンボタクシーによるツアーとなりました。お互いに写真を撮り合ったりして、アットホームなツアーです。
運転手さんのガイドもわかりやすく丁寧でよかったです。
大川の滝は写真で見るより迫力がありました。
西部林道では、親子でたわむれるヤクザルがあちこちにいて、ヤクジカにも出会うことができました。
飛行機の時間の関係で午前だけのコースでしたが、時間もゆったりとして、屋久島を満喫できました。
縄文杉トレッキングの疲れをいやす半日となりました。

This was my first trip based out of Osaka Station, and I was unsure where to go, so I chose this bus tour first.

The guide's explanations were gentle and easy to understand, and the driver drove slowly at key points, making me feel like I got my money's worth.

It was easy to find the bus stop from the ticket gate, and I was able to load my suitcase onto the bus without needing to use a coin locker.

Thank you very much.

大阪駅を拠点とした旅行は初めてで、どこへ行くか迷って、まず、このバスツアーを選びました。

ガイドさんの説明は柔らかでわかりやすく、
ドライバーさんは、要所ですとゆっくり走り、得した気分です。

駅の改札口からバス乗り場までがわかりやすく、コインロッカーを利用しなくても、スーツケースをバスに積んで下さいました。

どうもありがとうございました。

I was excited to see the scenery from a different height than usual. The view after getting on the Metropolitan Expressway was especially thrilling, like some kind of attraction. The timing was just right, making it perfect for sightseeing during a break.

普段とはちがう高さで見れる景色に興奮しました。特に首都高速乗ってからの迫力は何かのアトラクションみたいです。時間もちょうどよく、隙間時間に観光するのにちょうどよいです。

Shirakawa-go was much larger than I expected, and there were buildings to visit, so I was able to explore to my satisfaction since I had enough time.
The Hida beef grilled with miso on a magnolia leaf for lunch was very delicious.
Gokayama, unlike Shirakawa-go, was a very quiet village, small and really nice.

I was surprised that half of the participants were foreigners.

白川郷は思ったよりかなり広く、見学できる建物もありましたが、十分時間を取っているので、満足行くまで見学できました。
昼食の飛騨牛の朴葉味噌焼きはとっても美味しかったです。
五箇山は白川郷とは違い、とっても静かな集落で、こじんまりしていてすごく良かったです。

参加者の半分が外国人だったのには驚きました。

I participated alone, but being by myself allowed me to communicate more with the other tour members, which was really enjoyable. Since there were many foreigners, I was able to talk with people from various countries, and it felt like I was experiencing an overseas trip even though it was domestic travel, which was a great benefit. The male guide was from China, and he was kind and funny, which was nice. I think this course would have been difficult to cover in a day without the tour. It was packed with activities, but the itinerary was easy and comfortable.

一人での参加でしたが、ツアーの方々と一人だからこそコミュニケーショを取る機会が多くなってとても楽しかったです。
外国の方が多かったことで、色々な国の方とお話ができて、国内旅行でありながら、海外旅行も味わえた感じで、得しました。
男性のガイドさんは、中国の方でしたが、親切で面白くてよかったです。
このコースは、ツアーでなければ一日で、回れるコースではなかったとおもいます。盛りだくさんでしたが、無理のない楽ちんな行程でした。

I was able to see popular tourist spots in Kyoto in one day, but it was raining, so I was disappointed that I couldn't take good photos. Since they guided us to places close to transportation, meals, and hotels, I think this kind of tour is much less burdensome than sightseeing on my own. I would like to make a reservation here again for my next visit to Kyoto.

京都の人気観光地を一日で観ることが出来ましたが、雨でしたので写真が上手く撮れなかったのが残念でした。移動やお食事、ホテルに近い場所へ案内してくれましたので個人で観光するよりこうしたツアーの方が負担にならずとても良いと思いました。次回の京都観光でもまたこちらにて予約したいと思います。

I went with my mother in her 80s. The guide from Shanghai, who spoke Japanese, Chinese, and English, was very kind and explained things well. The weather was nice, and we had a great time!

80半ばの母と行きました。
日本語・中国語・英語を話せる上海出身のガイドさんは、とても親切。説明も上手でした。
天気も良くて楽しめましたよー♪

I was able to enjoy the sights of Tokyo from an open bus, experiencing the scenery from a different height! The guide's stories were interesting, and I was satisfied to leisurely view the cherry blossom spots from the bus! Since even small children were having fun, I think it's also recommended for families! It was just the right timing as the rain had stopped, allowing us to enjoy the cherry blossoms.

都内の見所をオープンバスで回ってもらい、いつもと違った高さから景色を楽しむことができました！ガイドさんのお話も面白く、桜の名所をバスから悠々と眺められ満足です！小さなお子さんも楽しんでいたので、家族連れでもおすすめかと思います！ちょうど雨も止んでいるタイミングで、お花見ができました。

It was rainy, so I had to use an umbrella while sightseeing, which made it a bit difficult to take photos from the observation deck, and that was disappointing. However, the guide provided detailed information, which added to the knowledge I had researched online, making the experience more enjoyable. There were shops and attractions I couldn't visit due to time constraints, but thanks to the fun guide, I thought I would like to visit them next time I have the opportunity.

The bus ride was comfortable as well. There were also foreign visitors, and the English explanations were helpful for my learning. I felt a great sense of unity among everyone participating in the tour, which was very nice.

雨だったので傘を差しての観光だったので、展望台からの景色の写真が少しとりづらかったのが残念でした。しかし、ガイドさんが細かい情報を教えてくれたので、自分でネットで調べた知識にプラスされてより楽しめました。時間がなくて行けなかったお店や見所も、楽しいガイドのおかげで、また機会があったときに訪れようと思いました。
バスの乗りごごちも快適でした。外国人の方もいらしたのですが、英語の説明もあって自分も勉強になりました。このツアーに参加したみんなが楽しめるような一体感が伝わってきて、大変良かったです。

The tour was rainy all day. Since I had experienced it once before, I was able to appreciate the beauty of the rain. I got to enjoy the rain at Fushimi Inari, Kiyomizu Temple, and Kinkaku-ji. The bamboo grove is definitely better in sunny weather!

　ツアーは一日中雨でした。
一度は体験したところだったので、雨の良さも知ることができました。
　伏見稲荷や清水寺、金閣寺と雨の良さも知ることができました。
　竹林は晴れてた方がいいな！

I was satisfied with being able to visit the places I wanted in a short amount of time. The driver and guide were both polite and made the tour enjoyable. Are there any sightseeing options departing from Obihiro?

短い時間で行きたいところを周り満足でした　
ドライバーさん、ガイドさんも丁寧で楽しく
観光できました　
帯広発の観光はありますか？

The water buffalo was so cute! I took a picture with it, and even though I didn't plan to buy anything, after seeing the photo, I ended up purchasing it. There was no smell at all, and the guide's stories were interesting, which made it really enjoyable. The bus guide was also very entertaining, and a crowned eagle appeared by chance and he told us about it. I highly recommend it!

水牛可愛かったー
写真を一緒に撮って、買うつもり無かったけど
出来た写真見たらとても良く買ってしまった
匂いも全然無くガイドさんの話も面白くとても良い
バスのガイドさんもとっても話が面白く冠ワシも偶然現れて教えてくれた
とってもオススメ
