All Reviews for Bus Tours

It was great that they took us around for half a day in the morning, especially for those who don't have a car. I was glad I couldn't drive a rental car.

いろいろ午前半日で連れて行ってくれて、車がない人にはとても良かったです。レンタカー運転できないのでよかったです

I had wanted to visit Kankakei in Shodoshima for a long time, but I had no means of transportation. The sightseeing bus was perfect. The price was reasonable. They covered all the famous spots, and even provided views of places we couldn't visit (like Angel Road), which made me very satisfied. The souvenirs and menu items recommended by the guide were all delicious. I regret not buying the salt. I was able to purchase the rice from the terraced fields and the crunchy kelp. The olive beef croquette burger I had at Kankakei was very tasty, with fluffy buns. I heard that during the autumn foliage season, the sightseeing bus specifies the time for the ropeway, so I would like to use it again if I have the chance.

小豆島の寒霞渓に以前から行きたかったが、足がない。観光バスはうってつけでした。値段も手頃。名所は全て抑えてくれたし、行けない場所(エンジェルロード)も車窓で案内してくれたので満足でした。ガイドさんがおススメしてくれるお土産やメニューが全部美味しかったです。御塩を買わなかったのを後悔。棚田の米とぷちぷち昆布は買えました。寒霞渓で食べたオリーブ牛コロッケバーガーが、バンズもふわふわでとても美味しかった。寒霞渓が紅葉の季節も、観光バスだとロープウェイの時間を指定してくれるらしいので、機会があったらまた利用したいです。

It was unfortunately rainy on the day, but I was able to enjoy the scenery! It was very helpful that they lent us umbrellas on the bus. The bus guide was also very good at storytelling, and the driver had a wonderful smile. There were plenty of highlights, and I highly recommend it! ♪

当日はあいにくの雨でしたが、景色を楽しむことができました！傘をバスで貸し出してくれたことがとても助かりました。バスガイドさんもお話上手で、ドライバーさんも笑顔が素敵な方でした。
見どころ満載で、おすすめします♪

The bus guide accompanied us, but they used a type of audio guide that played through earphones. It seems the main job of the bus guide was to provide information about the meeting points. The sightseeing boat on Lake Shikotsu was canceled due to strong winds, and the shops offering discounts were closed. The day-use hot springs were only available on weekends, so we couldn't use them.

At the visitor center, we received recommendations for walking trails and went for a stroll. The scenery was beautiful, but it would have been nice to hear this information from the bus guide. I should have researched shopping information about the Mushroom Kingdom in advance, but since I went on a whim, I ended up buying Hokkaido apples and potatoes from a nearby fruit and vegetable shop. I'm looking forward to that, but it's a shame I didn't have time to try the mushroom soup. Also, it would have been great if the bus had shared information about the popular mushroom assortment and the rare fallen leaf mushrooms.

After lunch at Lake Toya, we were able to relax at the day-use hot springs. After viewing the crater from the nearby observation deck at Mount Usu, we enjoyed soft serve ice cream at Usu Terrace. We received a 100 yen discount with our bus tour ticket.

After getting off the ropeway, we didn't go to the bear ranch and instead wandered around the sign for Showa Shinzan. The Silo Observation Deck offers a breathtaking view of Lake Toya from a high vantage point. The souvenir shop was crowded, and I missed the chance to buy Yotei Mountain beer, which seems to be hard to find in Sapporo city. However, it was available at New Chitose Airport.

As the sun set, we headed back to Sapporo while enjoying the sunset. Our last restroom break was at the dark Nakayama Pass, where we were lucky to catch a glimpse of the sunset over Mount Yotei.

All in all, I had a wonderful day. Thank you!

バスガイドさんは同行だけど、録音の案内をイヤホンで流すタイプ。
バスガイドさんは集合の案内が主な仕事のようです。
支笏湖の遊覧船は強風のため欠航。割引の効くお店はお休み。日帰り温泉は土日だけで利用できず。
ビジターセンターで遊歩道のオススメを教えてもらって散策しました。景色はよかったですが、この情報はバスガイドさんから聞けたら良かったですね。
きのこ王国のショッピング情報は事前に調べたら良かったですが…ふらっと行ったので、横の果物や野菜のお店で北海道のリンゴとじゃがいもを購入。これは楽しみなのですが、きのこ汁を食べる時間無くて残念。そして、きのこの詰め合わせが人気なのと、珍しい落ち葉きのこの情報はバスで伝えて欲しいところです。
洞爺湖のランチの後は日帰り温泉でゆっくりできました。
有珠山ロープウェイは近くの展望台から火口を見た後、有珠テラスでソフトクリームを食べました。バスツアーの半券で100円引きになります。
ロープウェイを降りて熊牧場には行かず、昭和新山の看板あたりをぶらぶらしました。
サイロ展望台は洞爺湖を高台から見下ろす絶景を楽しめる。お土産屋さんは混んでいて、羊蹄山ビールが気になったのに買いそびれた。これ札幌市内には、あまり置いていないようです。新千歳空港にはありました。
日も暮れ夕焼けを見ながら札幌へ。最後のトイレ休憩は真っ暗な中山峠。羊蹄山に沈む夕日がギリギリ見えて良かったです。
なんやかんや、楽しい1日を過ごせました。ありがとうございます。

There were many narrow mountain roads that made it difficult to pass each other, so I think it was a good decision to go on a tour. Each spot was great, but I also really enjoyed listening to the guide's stories along the way. It's a shame I dozed off partway through due to the fatigue from the Jomon Sugi hike the day before. The lunch was delicious too.

すれ違うのが大変な狭い山道も多く、自力で運転は難しかったと思う、ツアーにして良かったです。
各スポットもよかったですが、道中もガイドさんのお話しとても楽しく聞かせていただきました。前日の縄文杉の疲れで途中居眠りしてしまったのが残念。
昼食もおいしかった。

At the Karasuma Exit of Kyoto Station, display the reserved voucher screen. Obtain the e-ticket with the printed QR code and show it to the guide. Board the first bus departing from Kyoto Station Karasuma at 9:10 AM. Since it’s the day after a long holiday and there are only two of us, we sit in the front row on the second floor. Listening to the audio guide, we travel for 50 minutes to the Daitoku-ji bus stop. After finishing the special autumn viewing, we board the next bus. It's convenient to hop on and off at classic spots like Kinkaku-ji, Ginkaku-ji, and the Kyoto Imperial Palace! We also took the last bus and enjoyed the beautiful transition from dusk to night in the ancient city from the second floor! It was an amazing trip, touring beautiful Tokyo just before the Olympics with the Hato Bus Tour, and I was impressed by the power of the double-decker bus! I've been to Kyoto many times, but this was my first experience with the Sky Hop Bus. The hop-on, hop-off option for 2,500 yen is a great deal and highly recommended.

As a paper driver, I participated with my child. It was great to efficiently tour the main attractions in Okinawa. I think it was a great deal since the ticket to the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium was included. The guide was very kind. At the last souvenir shop, there was a vending machine selling delicious purple sweet potato tarts. The register was very crowded, so I recommend lining up early. On the way back, we were able to get off at a different location from the meeting point, which allowed us to stroll along Kokusai Street, so that was nice.

ペーパードライバーの為、子供と2人で参加しました。
沖縄の主要な観光地にツアーで効率よく周れてとても良かったです。美ら海水族館のチケットも含まれていたのでとてもお得だと思います。
ガイドさんがとても親切な方でした。
最後のお土産屋さんには生紅芋タルトが自動販売機で売られていて美味しかったです。レジがすごく混んでいたので、早くレジに並ぶのをおすすめします。
帰りは集合場所と違う場所で降りられ、国際通りを散策できたので良かったです。

It was disappointing that the glass boat tour was canceled due to the weather, but the alternative bus tour was enjoyable with a fun guide. I was able to find star sand, and the leisurely tour on the water buffalo cart was nice as well. I also appreciated being taken back to the hotel after the tour.

グラスボートが天候の関係で中止になったのが、残念でしたが、代わりのバス観光も楽しい運転手さんのガイド付きで楽しめました。
星の砂を見つけることも出来たし、のんびりと水牛車での観光も良かったです。
ツアー終了後にホテルまで送ってもらえたのもありがたかったです。

Asahiyama Zoo was a creatively designed zoo, just as the reputation suggests. It was educational, and I was able to experience that while having fun. The time allocation was relaxed, and I was able to fully enjoy my visit.

旭山動物園は評判通りの工夫が凝らされた動物園でした。勉強になるし，それが楽しみながら体験できました。
時間の配分もゆったりとしており，十分満喫できました。

The duration of each stop was just right, and the explanations from the tour guide were easy to understand. They also shared hidden photo spots and recommended local cuisine. It would be impossible to cover this much in half a day using public transportation, so I'm really glad I participated. Most of the participants were from outside the region, and there were also some foreigners, but everyone seemed to be taking infection prevention measures seriously, such as wearing masks, using hand sanitizer, and following guidelines on how to behave on the bus. Overall, I was very satisfied. If I have the opportunity, I would definitely like to participate in other tours as well. Thank you for your assistance.

各地の滞在時間は丁度よく、添乗員の方の説明がわかり易く、穴場の写真撮影スポットやオススメグルメも教えてくださいました。
公共交通機関でこれほどの工程を半日で回ることは無理なので、参加して本当に良かったです。
利用客のほとんどが道外からの参加、外国人もいらっしゃいましたが、マスク着用・手指消毒・車内での過ごし方など、皆さん感染対策をしっかりさらていたと思います。全体を通して大満足です。機会がありましたら他の企画にも是非参加したいです。お世話になりました。

We had planned to rent a car for sightseeing, but we were able to fully enjoy the charm of Yakushima with the Yakuzaru bus. There were many narrow roads, and I thought it would be difficult to navigate on our own. We could relax and take in the scenery, and we even saw groups of wild monkeys along the way. The trekking at Yakusugi Land was easy enough for beginners to walk comfortably.

自分たちでレンタカー借りて観光予定でしたが、やくざる号で屋久島の魅力を満喫できました。狭い道も多く自分たちで回るのは大変だなと思いました。安心して景色を見たり道には野生の猿などの群れがいたり、屋久杉ランドでのトレッキングは初心者でも楽に歩けました。

My first time in the Yaeyama Islands was amazing with great weather. Thank you!

The guide was very attentive, and the plan and sightseeing time were just right, allowing us to enjoy everything!

Each island in the Yaeyama Islands has its own unique charm, and you can fully enjoy them in just one day, so I highly recommend it for first-timers.

初めての八重山諸島
天気も良くて最高でした。
ありがとうございました！

ガイドさんも丁寧な案内
プランも観光時間もちょうど良くて全て満喫しました！

八重山諸島の島々は、それぞれ違った魅力を持っていて１日で満喫できるから
初めての人にはぜひオススメしたいです。

It was cold.

Even though there were empty seats, it felt cramped and oppressive.

The family behind me was loud and it was bothersome.

The guidance was easy to understand, and it was a very nice hour. I think I will try a different route next time. Thank you. I'm glad I could participate. It became the most memorable bus trip.

寒かった

席があいているのに、つめつめで圧迫感があった

後ろの家族の声がでかくて、迷惑だった

案内はわかりやすく、とてもいい1時間でした。
次は違うルートにも乗ってみようと思います。
ありがとうございました。参加できて、良かったでした。1番印象に残るバス旅になりました

The purpose of this trip was to ride a water buffalo cart. Every time I saw it featured on TV, I thought to myself that I wanted to try it someday and cross the sea, and my wish came true!! Thank you very much. The time spent on Yufujima flew by, and the food was delicious! The timing was just right!! I'm glad I went, I'm glad I could go, it was the best☆

今回の旅行の目的は、
水牛車に乗ること。テレビ等で紹介される度にいつか乗ってみたい、海を渡りたい、とずっと思い続け、願いが叶いましたー！！
ありがとうございました。
由布島での時間もあっとゆー間、
ご飯も美味しかったです！
ちょうどいい時間配分でした！！
行ってよかった、行けてよかった、
最高でした☆

We participated as a family of three with our 2-year-old son. The time at the aquarium was short, and we had to rush through it. Since the time at all the other locations was also limited, it might be better to cut out one of them. I felt that playing music on the bus towards the end of the tour was unnecessary. It was a cover song by an unknown artist, which woke up our child because it was too loud, and everyone else was sleeping, so silence would have been preferable.

2歳息子と夫婦の3人で参加しました。
水族館の時間が短くかなり急いで見て回りました。他にもまわる箇所全て時間が短かかったのでどれか削るほうがいいかもしれません。
ツアーの最後の方にバスの中で曲を流すのは要らないと思いました。知らない人のカバー曲で、子供はうるさくて起きるし、皆さん寝ていたので無音で良さそうでした。

The Blue Pond was truly beautiful. I was moved! Since there are relatively few overseas visitors now, I feel like I can take my time to enjoy it.

青い池　本当に綺麗でした。
感激しました！
今は　海外の方も少ないので
比較的　ゆっくりと見れる気がします。

I had no idea what to expect during my sightseeing in Osaka, but by the end, I had a rough sense of the area and was able to enjoy the rest of my sightseeing.

What I appreciated most was being able to see the attractions without walking, while enjoying the guide's stories. Choosing the Namba course was a great decision, and I was thinking about doing the Umeda course the next day, but unfortunately, the timing didn't work out. I'll look forward to it next time.

The meeting place was easy to find, which was very helpful. The stories were really enjoyable.

　右も左もわからない大阪観光でしたが最後にはなんとなくの土地勘もついてその後の観光が楽しめました。
何より歩かないで名所をガイドさんの話で楽しく見て回れるっていうのがとても良かったです。
なんばコース選択でとても良かったので　次の日梅田コースも…と思ったのですが時間が合わず　次回の楽しみにします。
　集合場所もわかりやすく助かりました。
お話とても良かったです。

The weather was great, and it was wonderful to have enough time at Asahiyama Zoo and visit two nearby attractions. Thank you to the tour guide for the interesting stories. Thank you to the driver for the approximately 350 km drive. Thank you for the wonderful tour.

天候にも恵まれ、旭山動物園の滞在時間といい、近隣の観光名所を2箇所行けたのは最高でした。
添乗員さん、面白い話をありがとう。
運転手さん、約350kmの運転、お疲れ様でした。
素晴らしいツアーを、ありがとうございました。

During the sudden cold snap, my lightweight down jacket was a lifesaver. Unfortunately, the visibility at Lake Shikotsu was not great due to heavy rain two days before the tour, but the view of Mount Usu from Lake Toya was stunning, with fresh snow accumulated on the summit from the previous day. It was also impressive to see Showa Shinzan up close. If I had a bit more time at Mount Usu, I would have loved to walk the trekking course there.

急に寒くなってきた時期で薄手のダウンジャケットが大活躍しました。
ツアー参加２日前に大雨が降ったので支笏湖の透明度は残念ながらイマイチでしたが、洞爺湖から見る有珠山などは前日降った雪が山頂に積もっており、とても綺麗でした。昭和新山も近くで見れて、迫力がありとても良かったです。有珠山でもう少し時間があれば、有珠山のトレッキングコースを歩いてみたかったです。

The weather was nice, and the guide's explanations were easy to understand. Due to the typhoon, our plans changed, but it was good that we were able to ride in both the North and South.

気候がよく、ガイドさんの説明がわかりやすかった。台風で、予定が変更になり、キタとミナミの両方に乗車できたので、良かった。

It was my first trip to the Furano and Biei area. The weather was great, and I truly enjoyed the breathtaking scenery and the magnificent nature of Hokkaido throughout the day (*ﾟ▽ﾟ*). Considering the distance from Sapporo, I initially wondered if it was possible to see so much in one day, but the guidance was excellent. They also took great care to ensure we had enough restroom breaks, and I enjoyed a delicious hamburger and a mini cheese fondue set for lunch. Additionally, we even had time for souvenir shopping at Rokkatei Campagne in Furano, making for a wonderfully luxurious and relaxing day. I'm so grateful!!

初めての富良野・美瑛方面への旅でした。
お天気もよく、目を見張るばかりの本当に素晴らしい風景、北海道の大自然を満喫できた1日でした(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)
札幌からの距離を考えると、1日でこんなに周れるのかしら？と最初は思うほどでしたが、ほんとに上手にご案内下さって、それでいてトイレ休憩とかも十分配慮して下さって、お腹も美味しいハンバーグとプチチーズフォンデュセットをいただいて、また、途中富良野の六花亭カンパーニュでお土産タイムまで一緒に組んであるという、なんとも贅沢でのどかな1日でした。感謝です！！

I was really happy that on this sightseeing tour, I was not only shown tourist spots but also delicious food.

今回の観光ツアーで観光スポットだけではなく、美味しいものを教えていただいたので、すごく嬉しかったです。

The trip to Shirakawa-go was very enjoyable. Mr. Kondo's commentary along the route was also interesting. It was a great learning experience. I will visit Shirakawa-go again in winter.

白川郷旅はとても楽しかったです。
近藤さんの沿線解説も面白かったです
とても良い勉強になりました。
冬また白川郷に行きます。

I had originally booked a plan from Kanazawa Station to Shirakawa-go with another travel company, but it was canceled due to not enough participants. After desperately searching, I found Beltra. (Since I had already applied for paid leave, I couldn't change the dates.)

On the day of the trip, it was a cold, rainy morning, and there were four participants, making it a luxurious journey with plenty of space on the bus. Both the driver and the guide were friendly, which made for an enjoyable trip.

The lunch featuring Hida beef miso and perilla leaf grilled set was delicious.

At Shirakawa-go, we were able to visit several villages and were shown nice view spots, allowing us to take wonderful photos. The Kanazawa souvenirs recommended were mostly sold out!

Next time, I want to visit Shirakawa-go in the snow and stay in one of the villages.

　金沢駅から白川郷へのプラン、実は他の旅行会社で予約していたのですが、人数が集まらなくて中止になってしまい、必死に探した末のベルトラさんでした。（有休申請した後だったので、日程をずらす訳にもいかず）
　当日は朝から雨で寒い日、参加者は4人でバスの中を悠々と使い贅沢な旅でした。運転手さんも、ガイドさんも人柄が良く楽しい旅になりました。
　お昼の飛騨牛の味噌大葉焼き定食美味しかったです。
　白川郷、いくつもの集落をまわれてNICE VEWスポットも教えて頂き素敵な写真を撮る事ができました。紹介頂いた金沢土産オススメ、殆ど売り切れでした！
　次回は雪の白川郷を訪れたいし、集落に泊まってみたいです。

I have traveled to Hokkaido several times. I visited Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya, and both had free time, allowing me to see various places and do some sightseeing. In particular, it was my first time taking the ropeway and looking down at Showa Shinzan from the top of Mount Usu, which was truly moving. The scenery was completely different from what I had seen before. Looking up at Showa Shinzan from below and looking down at it from the higher Mount Usu presented two entirely different views, leaving a strong impression. Thank you very much.

今までに数回、北海道を旅行しています。笏湖・洞爺湖も来ましたが、両方ともフリータイムもあり、色んな所から見たり、観光できました。特に、ロープウエイで登り、有珠山の頂上から昭和新山を見下ろしたのは初めてで感動的でした。全く今までと景色が違いました。下から見上げる昭和新山と、より高い有珠山から見下ろす昭和新山は、まるで違う景色で印象強くなりました。有り難うございました。

The price is reasonable, so I thought this is what the tour would be like! The sea was incredibly beautiful (^ - ^) There were plenty of restrooms during the breaks, which was reassuring! I think even older participants can join comfortably.

However... the information about gathering at the hotel for the pickup location caused a bit of panic on the day (⌒-⌒; ) When I called to inquire, I ended up connecting to a place that wasn't Veltora... I was able to board the bus smoothly after telling the name I used for the reservation at the tourist information center in Tonosho Port. While some minor accidents are part of traveling, it would be helpful if you could provide a bit more detailed information about the gathering arrangements (^^;;

まあ手頃なお値段なので、ツアーはこんなもんかと！海が最高に綺麗でした(^-^)
あちこちの合間の休憩のお手洗いが多くて安心です！年配の方でも安心して参加いただけると思います。

ただですね…ピックアップ場所のホテルで集合という表記が当日パニックになりました(⌒-⌒; )
急遽電話して問い合わせるとベルトラさんではないとこに繋がり…土庄港の観光窓口で予約時の名前を伝えてすんなりバスに乗れましたが
旅行中の多少のアクシデントは付きものではあるけど
集合の詳細もうちょっと丁寧に教えておいてくれると助かりますね(^^;;

This time, I rode a water buffalo cart on Taketomi Island and saw fish through a glass-bottom boat. ✨

While riding the water buffalo cart, I enjoyed listening to island songs and had a very peaceful time.

I also had fun renting a bicycle and going to the beach.

The stone walls of Taketomi were impressive.

The glass-bottom boat was a bit rocky due to the rough sea, so I think it's a good idea for those prone to seasickness to take motion sickness medication before boarding.

I recommend this course for first-time visitors.

今回、竹富島で水牛車に乗ったり、グラスボートでお魚を見たりしました✨

水牛車に乗りながら、島歌を聞いたりとてものどかな時間を過ごせました

また、自転車を借りて海岸まで行ったり楽しめました

竹富の石を積上げた塀が、印象的でした。

グラスボートは、海が少し荒れていてだいぶ船が揺れて、船酔いしそうな人は、酔い止めを飲んで乗ると良いと思います。

初めて行く人はおすすめのコースです

First of all, the two-hour bus ride was very pleasant thanks to the guide's explanations, which were wonderful. It felt almost like listening to a story being read aloud!

At Asahiyama Zoo, I was able to meet the polar bear, Pirika Mama, and her cub, Yume-chan, whom I was really looking forward to seeing, both at the beginning and the end of my visit. I tended to focus on my favorite animals, so I couldn't see everything due to time constraints, but it seems I was able to leave some excitement for the next opportunity, resulting in a very satisfying and enjoyable day. ^ ^

先ずは、行きの2時間をバスガイドさんの説明がとても心地よく素晴らしかったです。
まるで物語の朗読を聴いているような錯覚さえおぼえるほど！

旭山動物園では、今回とても会いたかったシロクマのピリカママとゆめちゃんに最初と最後会ってきました。その他お気に入りの動物に集中しがちだったせいか、時間とのにらめっことなり、すべてを見て回ることはできませんでしたが、次の機会へのお楽しみを残せたようで、結果とても満足な良い1日になりました^ ^

I thought the heat would have eased by mid-September, but it reached 35°C during the day, and the open-top bus was incredibly hot. Out of the three times I rode, I only received an ice pack once. However, its effect didn't last long, and it was still hot. When the bus is moving, the wind feels nice, but about half the time is spent waiting at traffic signals, which is just really hot. During hot periods, I recommend staying hydrated, protecting against sunburn, and bringing items like ice packs.

However, seeing Kyoto from a high vantage point was a different experience and quite enjoyable. The ability to hop on and off and tour around Kyoto's famous spots is also appealing. The moment I passed under the large torii gate of Heian Shrine, as shown in the image, was indeed impressive.

9月中旬なので暑さも和らいでいるかと思っていましたが、昼間は35℃になり、屋根のないバスはとにかく暑かったです。
3回乗車したうち1回だけアイスノンを貰いました。
・・・が、効果は長続きせず、やはり暑かったです。
バスが走っている時は風が吹いていいのですが、全体の半分くらいは信号待ちでとにかく暑いです。
暑い時期は、水分補給と日焼け対策をしっかりして、アイスノンなどを持参すると良いと思います。

ですが、高いところから観る京都は、一味違って良かったです。
乗り降り自由で京都の名所をぐるっと回れるのも魅力です。
イメージ画像にもある平安神宮の大鳥居をくぐる瞬間は、やはり大迫力でした。

It was amazing. The cows were cute. Each of the guides (drivers) was very kind and explained everything, making for a fun day.

最高でした。
牛さんかわいかったです。
それぞれのガイドさん（運転手さん）もとっても親切に説明してくれて一日楽しく過ごせました。
