All Reviews for Bus Tours

I had a great time! The weather was nice, and we were able to enjoy sightseeing smoothly. The guide's explanations were detailed, and the driver's driving was very careful, so I didn't feel nauseous at all.

The itinerary was packed, and by the end of the tour, I was honestly exhausted, but I made so many wonderful memories that it was definitely worth participating. There were two places where the uphill and downhill were quite challenging.

Many people participated alone as well.

楽しかったです！
お天気が良く順調に観光できました。ガイドさんの案内は詳しく、運転手さんの運転もとても丁寧で酔うことはありませんでした。
内容が盛りだくさんで、ツアーが終わる頃には正直クタクタでしたが、疲れを上回る思い出がたくさんできたので参加してとても良かったです。途中2箇所、坂の上り下りがハードでした。
お一人で参加されてる方も多かったです。

The guide had extensive knowledge of hidden photography spots and recommended souvenirs, providing unique explanations filled with humor that made the trip enjoyable. Additionally, the service was excellent, as the guide also provided explanations in English for foreign tourists.

撮影ポイントの穴場やお勧めのお土産などの
知識が豊富なうえ、冗談を交えたユニークな説明をされ楽しい旅を満喫できました。また、外国人観光客のために英語でも説明されるなど接客が素晴らしくガイドさんでした。

The aquarium took a long time to get to, so I felt a bit regretful that we didn't have enough time to explore. The guide not only provided sightseeing information but also shared insights about the current situation of the U.S. military bases and the feelings of the people of Okinawa, helping us understand the true nature of Okinawa. I found it very relatable and educational.

水族館は移動に時間がかかるので、その分、見学時間が足りなかったのが、少し心残りです。
ガイドさんは、単に観光案内だけでなく、米軍基地の現状や、沖縄の人たちの心情をしっかりとお話されて、沖縄の真の姿を理解させてくださいました。とても共感し、勉強になりました。

The weather wasn't very good, but the high-speed boat was fast and had little sway. It's great that you can step on Iriomote Island and see all the islands in one day! The water buffalo is cute.

てんこうはあまりよくなかったが、高速艇は早く揺れも少ない。一日で西表を踏めてすべての島を遠望できるのでGOOD！
水牛がかわいいぞ。

The explanations during the car ride were helpful. They distributed maps and were very responsive to individual questions at that time, which was great. It was nice to be able to go around without wasting any time.

車中での解説が役に立った
地図を配布してくれたが、その時にも個別の質問に答えてくれたり対応が凄くよかった
無駄な時間がなく回れるのがよかった

This time, I traveled without a car, but I wanted to go on a little trip before getting on the plane, so I chose this option. Two-thirds of the group chose Okinawa World. I chose the Gyokusendo Cave, and I enjoyed learning about Okinawa's nature and ancient stories. The guide was also very nice. At the beginning of the tour, we received a metal bottle filled with tea. I thought it was heavy and unnecessary, but since we walked quite a bit, my water supply might not have been enough. However, I wish they had informed us that the bottles would be distributed before getting off the bus.

Unfortunately, the bus seatbelt was broken, and there was trash in the seat, which is why I rated it ★-1. We arrived at the airport a little before 1 PM.

今回は車なしで旅行しましたが、飛行機に乗る前に少しだけ遠出したいなと思い選びました。2/3の方は沖縄ワールドを選ばれていました。
私はガンガラーの谷を選び、沖縄の自然や太古の話を知れて楽しかったです。ガイドさんもとてもよい方でした。ツアーの最初にお茶が入った金属のボトルをいただきます。重いのにいらないよーと思いましたが、それなりに歩いたので、手持ちの水だけでは足りなかったかもしれません。ただバスを降りる前にボトルが配られることを教えてほしかったなと思いました。
残念だったのは、バスのシートベルトが壊れていたことと、座席にゴミがあったことです。このため★-1としました。
13時少し前には空港に到着しました。

I was able to efficiently visit the sites and enjoyed a great lunch with the cable car included. The snowy scenery was beautiful. The driver's driving was careful and felt calm, which made me feel safe. The guidance through the headphones was also good. The bus guide was experienced, and there were a few moments that made me go "hmm," but overall it was very good!

効率よく周って昼食、ロープウェイ付きでとても楽しめた。雪景色がキレイでした。
ドライバーさんの運転は丁寧で穏やかに感じ安心できました。
ヘッドホンによる案内も良かった。
バスガイドさんはベテランさんでそこが少し、ん？とくるところがありましたが総合してとても良かったです！

It's an efficient tour. Overall, I'm satisfied. However, I think it would be better to allocate a bit more time at Hell Valley instead of Showa Shinzan.

効率高いツアーです。概ね満足。
ただ昭和新山の時間を地獄谷にもう少し割いた方がいいではないかなと思います

This time, I participated with my sister and children. As adults, it's hard to gather in such an environment, but it turned out to be a very enjoyable sightseeing experience. The timing was also very good, and I felt my heart fluttering at various places after a long time. The weather was pleasant, and the scenery was breathtaking. The tour guide was very kind, taking the time to take photos for us. I did some shopping at souvenir shops here and there, and there were many delicious things that could only be found there. I definitely want to participate again. I want to create more memories in life.

今回、姉と子供と参加させてもらいました。大人になり、なかなか集まらない環境の中とても楽しい観光になりました。時間設定もとても良く、行くところ所で久々に心がウキウキしました。気候も心地よく景色は絶景でした。添乗員さんに声をかけてもらい写真を撮っていただいたりとても親切でした。所々のお土産屋で買い物したりそこでしか食べれない物がたくさんありとても美味しかったです。また是非参加したいと思います。また人生の思い出を作りたいです。

We departed at 8 AM and took a tour around Yakushima, which included lunch and felt like a great deal. The guide was kind and explained everything thoroughly, and I was able to buy a bag of tankan for just 100 yen. It's a place you wouldn't know about unless you're a local. We were also blessed with good weather, making it an enjoyable tour until 5 PM.

朝8時に出発し屋久島を一回りしランチも付き、お得感はありました。
ガイドの方も親切丁寧に説明していただき、タンカンも一袋100円で購入できました。現地の方でなければこのような場所知りえませんね。
天気にも恵まれ5時までの楽しいツアーでした。

I participated in a bus tour to visit Kyoto's famous sites in one day with a friend. We gathered at Kyoto Station, and about half of the participants were foreigners. It was refreshing that we took the JR train to Fushimi Inari Station instead of starting directly on the bus. During the ride, the tour guide provided explanations in Japanese, English, and Korean. At Fushimi Inari Shrine, we passed through the red torii gates and took many beautiful photos. The view from Kiyomizu-dera was stunning, and the reflection of Kinkaku-ji on the water was the best. In Arashiyama, we took commemorative photos at Togetsukyo Bridge and Sagano. We had enough time to manage our sightseeing, enjoy street food, and buy souvenirs. The weather was great, making for a fun and fulfilling day, and the tour guide was very kind. If I have another opportunity to visit Kyoto, I would like to sign up for a different tour.

京都の名所を1日で廻るバスツアーに友人と参加しました。京都駅集合で外国の方も半分くらい参加されてあり、JRで伏見稲荷駅まで行き最初からバスでは、なかったのも新鮮でした。車中では、添乗員さんが日本語、英語、韓国語での説明されてありました。伏見稲荷大社では、赤い鳥居をくぐり映える沢山の写真、清水寺では、素晴らしい京都の景色。水面に映る金閣寺は、最高でした。嵐山では、渡月橋、嵯峨野での記念写真。自分達なりの観光時間配分も余裕があり、食べ歩きやお土産を買ったり、お天気も良く楽しく充実した日でした、添乗員さんもとても親切な方でした。また、京都に行く機会があれば、別のツアーに申し込みをしたいと思います

The guide's explanations were easy to understand, and she was a wonderful singer. I would love to join her again next time, but I forgot her name; she was the beautiful lady from March 8th.

ガイドさんの説明も分かりやすく歌も上手で素敵な方でした。
又、次回もご一緒して頂きたいと思いますが名前を忘れました3月8日の綺麗なお姉さんでした。

We had a fun departure with the veteran guide's lively talk!

We enjoyed the Okinawa vibe on a remote island accessible by bus, and then headed to the main attraction, the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. There was plenty of time allocated, so we could leisurely enjoy the aquarium without rushing, and we also got to visit facilities that are not easily accessible on our own, which greatly increased our satisfaction! Additionally, it was more affordable than going individually, making it a great value for money.

ベテランガイドさんの軽快なトークで楽しく出発！

バスで行ける離島で沖縄気分を満喫し、
メインの美ら海水族館へ。
たっぷり時間を設けていただけるので、慌てることなくゆっくり水族館を楽しみ、個人ではなかなか行かないような施設にもよっていただけるので
満足度高いです！
また個人で行くよりもリーズナブルに行けたのでコスパいいです。

I was healed by the beautiful scenery of Lake Toya and the foot bath. I slipped and fell at Hell Valley, but the steam and the view were wonderful. Showa Shinzan and Mount Usu were also clear and looked really beautiful. I mainly signed up for the Shikotsu Lake Ice Festival, but I was pleasantly surprised by the other tours as well. The guide was very kind, thank you. I was surprised that there were only three Japanese people, but I really enjoyed the feeling of being on an overseas trip!

洞爺湖キレイな景色と足湯に癒やされました地獄谷滑ってコケてしまいましたが…湯けむりと景色ステキ昭和新山、有珠山も晴れていてすごくきれいに見えました支笏湖氷濤まつりをメインに申し込みましたが、氷濤まつりはもちろんほかの周遊も思いのほか感激しましたガイドさんも親切な方でありがとうございました日本人が３人だけでびっくりしましたが、海外旅行気分️満喫できました

I participated in this tour as a solo traveler. I think it's a great value since you can visit several places in one day. I had no inconveniences or complaints, and I'm very satisfied. Thank you!

1人旅行で参加させていただきました。
一日数カ所訪問できるので、コスパが高いと思います。特に不便も不満もなく、満足です。ありがとうございました！

This is my second time with the water buffalo tour, and this time it was with the Taketomi Tourism Center. The laid-back water buffalo "Mae" stopped several times along the way to take breaks, and we enjoyed the path lined with bougainvillea. There is also a photo service available.

水牛観光は二度目ですが、
今回は竹富観光センターさんでした。
のんびりマイペースの水牛「真栄」君、
途中何度も立ち止まり、休憩しながら、

写真サービスも、あります。

It was a very efficient tour where we could visit many highlights in just one day, starting with the Churaumi Aquarium, as well as Kouri Island and American Village.

Additionally, our guide even showcased Okinawan folk songs and played the sanshin, allowing us to enjoy a fun time on the bus.

(On the bus, announcements were made in English, Chinese, and Korean, which made it reassuring for international visitors.)

Next time I go to Okinawa, I would love to take a bus tour again.

「美ら海水族館」をはじめ、「古宇利島」や「アメリカンビレッジ」など、見どころ満載なところを1日で見て回ることができる、非常に効率的なツアーでした。

また、ガイドさんが沖縄の民謡や三線の演奏まで披露して下さったので、バスの中でも楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。

(バスの中では、英語・中国語・韓国語のアナウンスも流れていて、海外の人でも安心できます)

今度、沖縄に行ったらまたバスツアーで観光したいです。

It was a weekday, but everywhere was crowded, making it difficult to take our time exploring within the tour schedule. I was too concerned about the meeting time, and there were many people... so I felt like we had little free time. However, I enjoyed it because we were taken to many sightseeing spots.

平日でしたがどこも混み合ってて、ツアーの時間内ではゆっくり観て回るのはのは難しいですね。集合時間が気になり過ぎて人も多く…自由時間は少なかったかなと？
ですが、沢山観光地など連れて行っていただいたので楽しめました。

I participated from the afternoon of the day I arrived, and there was a shuttle service to the airport, so I was able to make effective use of my time. The guide's explanations were very good, and the driver was experienced with the steep roads, so I felt safe during the ride.

到着した日の午後からの参加で、空港までの送迎もあり、時間を有効に使えました。ガイドさんの説明も大変良かったですし、険しい道も運転手の方は慣れておられたので、安心して乗車できました。

Was it the snowy Shirakawa-go at this timing? Or the fresh green Shirakawa-go? There was a possibility of being caught in between, but it turned out to be a very good timing.

With the snow from a few days prior still remaining, we were able to enjoy the breathtaking scenery under warm, sunny skies with no wind on the day of our visit.

It was my first time seeing the gassho-zukuri houses, and I made various discoveries that were quite enjoyable. Although these buildings are now recognized as a World Heritage site, they were originally ordinary homes rooted in daily life. To us, they may seem unusual, but you can sense the daily activities and ingenuity of life within them, which evokes something special. I believe they are definitely worth seeing.

The tour also had a relaxed schedule for a day trip from Kanazawa Station, making it easy to participate and enjoy casually. There was plenty of time, including for meals, and the time allocation was just right. The tour guide and the driver shared various stories along the way, so we were never bored.

I thought it would be wonderful to join again in the fall.

このタイミング、雪の白川郷か？新緑の白川郷か？どっちつかずの状態もあり得ましたが、非常に良いタイミングでした。
数日前の雪が残った状態で、当日は晴天無風の暖かな日差しの中、絶景を堪能する事が出来ました。
初めて合掌作り家々を拝見しましたが、色々な発見があって良かったです。今は世界遺産として認定されている特別な建物ですが、本来は生活に根差した普通の家屋だった筈です。我々にとっては異様な風体ですが、日々の営みと生活の工夫が見え隠れして、何か感じるものがあります。一見お価値ありだと思います。
ツアーも金沢駅からの日帰りで余裕を持ったスケジュールなので、気軽に参加し、カジュアルに過ごせる事が出来ると思います。食事も含め、時間は十分。過不足の無い時間配分でした。ツアーガイドの方、ドライバーさんに至っても、道中色々とお話をして下さり、退屈しません。
次回は秋に参加出来たら最高だと思いました。

I was so happy when I found this tour around the Noto Peninsula that I used to visit during my student days! I was also thrilled when I received the email confirming my reservation right away! The seats were spacious, and the driver had excellent driving skills, while the guide was sincere and full of engaging conversation. We were blessed with good weather, and the seafood set meal was delicious, making it an incredibly enjoyable experience.

学生時代に周った奥能登を巡るこの企画を見つけた時は、嬉しかったー！
直ぐに予約、催行決定のメールが届いた時も、嬉しかったー！
座席はゆったり、安心出来る運転技術をお持ちの運転手さんと、サービストーク満載の誠実なガイドさん。
お天気に恵まれ、又、海鮮定食も美味しくて、実に楽しかったでした。

I was able to enjoy everything I wanted to see and do on this tour. I do not recommend doing the island hopping on your own. After landing on the island by ferry, there is a distance to travel to the sightseeing spots, so you'll need transportation.

見たいところやってみたいこと、全部このツアーで楽しめました。
離島巡りは個人でやるのはお勧めしません。
フェリーで離島上陸後、観光スポットまで行くのに距離があるので足が必要になります。

My first trip to the three islands was enjoyable, as I was able to efficiently visit places that would be difficult to cover on my own. The only downside was at the Takeubushima Water Buffalo Cart stop, where I felt a bit uncomfortable being asked to buy photos that I didn't want. In this age of smartphones, I think such commemorative photos are unnecessary. I also thought it would be better if we could choose at the beginning whether or not to include a commemorative photo.

初めての3島巡りは、個人では周りきれないスケジュールを効率よく周る事ができ楽しめました。
唯一残念なのは、竹生島水牛車下車庫　欲しくも無い写真を撮られ買わないか？と言うよくあるパターンを断るのにちょっと嫌な気分になりました。
スマホ普及のご時世なのでその様な記念写真はいらないと思います。又最初から記念写真付きか付きじゃ無いか選べたら良いとも思いました。

It was a tour with two middle-aged men, but I was able to participate feeling great. I think it would be better if there were a bit more time for restroom breaks along the way. The mothers with children seemed to have a tough time.

初老のオヤジ二人のツアー参加でしたが、ただただ気分良く参加出来ました。
途中でのトイレ休憩にもう少し余裕があれば良いのではと思われます。
子ども連れのお母さんが大変そうでした。

It was a tour packed with highlights in just one day. I wanted to leave the tour early to head to the airport on the last day of my trip, and they kindly agreed to my request, which was a huge help. I also think the cost performance is excellent.

一日で、見どころ盛り沢山のツアーでした。
旅行の最終日で空港に向かいたいので最後の行程で離脱したい旨を、快く了承して貰えたので、凄く助かりました。
コスパも最高だと思います。

It's convenient that they provide transportation to the hotel. At each sightseeing spot, we definitely walk. There are many slopes and mountain paths, so those with mobility issues or lacking physical confidence should be cautious. Since it was a weekday, the number of participants was small, so everyone on the bus had two seats to themselves, whether alone or in a group. There was no explanation or notice from the tour guide, and before we knew it, everyone had two seats. The price differs between individuals and groups, so if that bothers you, it's better to refrain from joining. The tour itself was enjoyable, and the flying fish dish was very delicious.

宿泊ホテルまで送迎してもらえるので便利。
それぞれ案内される名所では必ず歩く。
坂道や山道も多いので足の悪い方や体力に自信のない方は要注意。
平日だったので参加人数が少数の為、お一人でもグループでも
バス内は全員が1人2席づつ座っていた。
添乗員からの説明や断りも一切無く、いつのまにか全員が1人2席。
お一人とグループでは金額が違うので、それが気にいらないという方は
やめたほうが良い。
ツアー自体は楽しかったし、トビウオ料理もとても美味しかった。

First of all, the height of the vehicle elevated the excitement.
And the highlight was the dynamic entry into the water! The kids were thrilled. ☺️
The gentle cruise and smooth explanations made it comfortable.
It was a moment where I could experience something extraordinary.

先ずは車高の高さがワクワク感を高揚させてくれました。
そして１番は入水のダイナミックさ！子供たちも興奮してました☺️
穏やかなクルーズとスムーズな説明、快適でした。
起承転結で非日常を体感出来たひとときでした。

I'm glad I was able to visit several tourist attractions even without a car! At American Village, I think it would be difficult to take photos and leisurely enjoy meals or shopping at the same time. As for the Churaumi Aquarium, it depends on the person, but I felt it was just the right amount of time. I did have to hurry a bit, but I enjoyed the large tank, other exhibits, and the dolphin show. I recommend it!

車を持っていなくても、いくつかの観光名所を回れて良かったです！！
アメリカンヴィレッジは写真を撮っていたらご飯とか買い物をゆっくりすることは難しいと思います。美ら海水族館は人にもよるとは思いますが、ちょうど良い時間で少し急ぎはしましたが、大水槽やほかのコーナー、イルカショーも楽しめました。
おすすめです。

I chose this tour because I wanted to visit many famous spots in one day. The transfer from Kyoto Station to Fushimi Inari Taisha was by train. It was said that traveling by train avoids traffic jams that occur with bus transfers. The ride was short, and Fushimi Inari Taisha was right in front of the station, so the transfer was not a hassle at all.

After that, we moved by bus to Kiyomizu-dera, Kinkaku-ji, and Arashiyama. We had plenty of time, so I was able to fully enjoy the experience! The guide was kind and provided various explanations. Every time we arrived at a location, they cheered, "Let's go go go~!" to entertain the guests!

The return from Arashiyama to Kyoto was also by train, which helped us avoid traffic, allowing us to return right on schedule. I highly recommend this tour for those who want to visit many famous spots in one day! ♡

1日で沢山の名所を巡りたかったのでこちらのツアーを選びました。
京都駅から伏見稲荷大社までは電車での移動でした。バスでの移動は渋滞する理由から電車移動との事。乗車時間も短く、駅の目の前が伏見稲荷大社でしたので、移動は苦ではなかったです。
その後はバスの移動で清水寺、金閣寺、嵐山へ移動。時間も十分ありましたので満喫できました！
ガイドの方も親切で、色々と説明もして頂きました。現地に着く度に、『let's go go go〜！』とお客さんを楽しませてくれました！
嵐山から京都まではまた電車移動でしたが、渋滞など回避出来るので、希望時間通りに戻る事が出来ました。
1日で沢山の名所に行きたい方はオススメです♡

I was able to capture the almost deserted snowy landscape of Shirakawa-go early in the morning, and the recommended spots by the guide were truly wonderful.

Gokayama was also a place I would never have visited without the tour, but compared to Shirakawa-go, it was less crowded and quiet, and I genuinely felt glad to have gone there.

The guide and the lunch were almost all fantastic, but there was one point. The view of several gassho-zukuri buildings and the village was mostly visible only from the "left side" of the bus, and those of us sitting on the right side couldn't see anything while the bus was moving, which felt unfair since we all paid the same amount.

I would like to see some arrangements for seat exchanges or free seating on the tour bus.

白川郷には朝早くほぼ誰もいない雪景色を写真に収めることが出来たし、ガイドさんのオススメスポットは本当に素晴らしかった。
五箇山も、ツアーでなければ絶対行かない場所だが、白川郷に比べ人も少なく静かで行けて良かったと心から思えた場所だった。
ガイドさん、ランチのお食事、ほぼ全て素晴らしかったのだが1点。
合掌造りの建物数件、集落などバスからの眺めがほぼ全て「左側」の車窓からしか見えず、私含む右側席の人々は走行中立って見ることもできず、同じお金を払っているのに不公平に感じた。

ツアーバスの座席交換や自由席などのを工夫をして欲しい。
