All Reviews for Bus Tours

I was glad to be able to see the classic tourist spots in Hokkaido in just one day. At Lake Toya, I was able to enjoy a hot spring at a stopover. However, it felt like I was in a foreign country since there were mostly people from Asia, like China, and only two of us were Japanese—myself and the driver. But it was nice that the guide provided explanations in Japanese as well.

北海道の定番観光地を1日で見ることができて良かったです。
洞爺湖では立ち寄り湯で温泉に入ることができました。
ただ、中国などアジア系の方たちばかりで日本人は私と運転手さんの二人だけで、外国に来たような感じでした。でもｶﾞｲﾄﾞさんが日本語でも案内してくれたので良かったです。

Since I was traveling alone, I requested this. I had a rental car, but since it was a solo trip, I chose to go for "ease." I was able to enjoy a full day with an itinerary that included all the places I wanted to visit. I would like to participate again.

ひとり参加だったので こちらにお願いしました。レンタカーもあったのですが 一人旅だったので「楽」を選びました。私が行きたい所が全て入ってるOPで1日楽しむ事が出来ました。また参加したいと思います。

It was a tour with participants who were a bit older and some younger, focused on Shirakawa-go, and it was fulfilling. The driver and the guide were both great. The guide was a veteran, and it felt calm listening to him. He was a guide who was attentive to the customers. I felt a sense of ease. I am past retirement and have extended my employment a bit, but I wonder if the guide is around my age? He can still be very active.

定年過ぎた人とちょっと若い人の参加したツアーでしたが、じっくりど白川郷をターゲットにしたツアーで充実しました．ドライバーの方とガイドの方もよかったですね。ガイドの方はベテランで聞いてる方が落ち着いて聞いてました。お客様さんに寄り添ったガイドさんでしたね．余裕を感じました。私は定年過ぎて再雇用でちょっと延長してますが、ガイドさんは私と同年代なのでしょうか？まだまだ活躍できますね。

I was able to see the beautiful snowy scenery of Shirakawa-go. The bus guide clearly explained the recommended spots before we arrived at Shirakawa-go, so I was able to take many great photos without getting lost. The lunch in Shirakawa-go was also very satisfying, especially the bamboo leaf miso, which was delicious.

雪景色の美しい白川郷を見ることができました。バスガイドさんが、白川郷に着く前におすすめの場所をわかりやすく教えてくださったので、迷うことなくいい写真をたくさん撮れました。白川郷での昼食も、朴葉味噌がとてもおいしく大満足でした。

Since we were traveling with children, I thought a tour would be best for the remote islands, so I signed up.

For the tour options, I had already taken the glass-bottom boat the day before, so I chose the water buffalo cart and bus sightseeing.

The highlight for my child was definitely taking the water buffalo cart to Yubu Island. The water buffalo were cute, and there was a bathroom break along the way, which seemed to be a hit! I really enjoyed the atmosphere when the guide sang folk songs on the shamisen while we rode the water buffalo cart.

Also, the boat rocked more than anything I've experienced in my life! It felt like a roller coaster, and the kids were thrilled!

Although we were already feeling full by the time we reached Yubu Island, it was nice to take it easy again on the water buffalo cart while exploring Taketomi Island.

The time spent at each location was short, but the guides were experienced and kept a good pace, so both my child and I could keep up! We also had no issues with bathroom breaks.

子連れのため、離島はツアーが良いと思い申し込みました。
選べるツアーはグラスボートは前日に乗ったので、水牛車とバス観光をチョイス。

子供の1番のポイントは、由布島に水牛車で行ったところでした。水牛さんが可愛いのと、途中トイレタイムがあったのがヒットポイントだったようです笑
私は水牛車でガイドさんが三味線で民謡を歌ってくれたのが雰囲気があってすごく良かったです。

あと、船が人生で1番揺れました！ジェットコースターのようで、これもまた子供も大喜びでした！

由布島で既にお腹いっぱい感はありましたが、竹富島で再び水牛車でのんびり周遊しつつ休憩できたのは良かったなと思います。

各所滞在時間は短いですが、ガイドさんの皆様も手慣れた様子でテンポよく回れて子供も私もついて行けました！
トイレにも困らなかったです。

It was disappointing that the weather was bad and cold during my first island-hopping trip. There's nothing that can be done about that. I hope to have a chance to redeem myself next time.

初めての離島巡りで天気が悪く、寒かったのが残念でした。こればかりは、仕方ないですね。次回リベンジしたいと思います。

I made the best memories.
I have participated in the tour several times, and I am very satisfied with each one.
I want to invite my friends to go again.

最高の思い出ができました。
何度かツアーに参加させて頂いていますが、どのツアーも大満足です。
またお友達を誘って行きたいです。

I would like to have a temperature check and other confirmations during the first boarding. The Chinese participants do not adhere to the meeting time. They are talking loudly without wearing masks on the bus. (The tour guide does not give any warnings.) I do not want to participate much in the future.

最初の乗車時には検温等の確認をしてほしい。
中国人が集合時間を守らない。バス車内ではマスクを着用せず大声で
話をしている。(添乗員は注意をしない)
今後あまり参加したくない。

As a beginner in Sapporo, I struggled to find the meeting place but managed to arrive. I showed my voucher to the staff and received a ticket with my bus seat number. The seats were assigned in advance.

The sightseeing guide provided multilingual broadcasts through earphones. Each bus seat was equipped with a power outlet or USB port, allowing for charging.

At the Okurayama Jump Stadium, the Olympic Museum was closed, and without taking the lift, there was nothing to do for an hour (the café was open). It seemed like 30 minutes would be enough for going up and down. The view from the top was very beautiful.

At Shiroi Koibito Park, if I had more time, I could have done a factory tour, but with only 30 minutes, I could only see the outdoor mechanical clock and do some shopping inside before time was up. I didn’t have anything to buy, so I had plenty of time. The building and the mechanical clock are cute.

At Sapporo's Outer Market, I was worried about it getting crowded and not being able to eat, so I went shopping after my meal. Since it was a weekday, it wasn't too crowded, and I was able to take my time looking around after eating.

I’m not sure about the time allocation for each place, but it was very good for efficiently visiting tourist spots around Sapporo. I wanted to join another tour in the evening, so it turned out to be a very fulfilling half day.

札幌初心者の私は、集合場所探しに苦労しましたがなんとか到着。
窓口の方にバウチャーを見せて、バスの座席が書かれたチケットをもらう。座席は事前に決まっていました。

観光案内はイヤホンをつけながら多言語放送。バスの各席にコンセント？USB？が備え付けてあり、充電できる仕様でした。

大倉山ジャンプ競技場は、オリンピックミュージアムが休館中であり、リフトに乗らなければ1時間何もすることがありません。(カフェはやってました)上り下りでも30分くらいで足りそうな感じでした。頂上からの景色はとても綺麗です。

白い恋人パークは、時間があれば工場見学などできたと思いますが、30分なので外のからくり時計と中のお店でショッピングくらいで時間が来ます。私は買うものがなかったので、時間は十分でした。建物とからくり時計がかわいいです。

札幌場外市場は、混んで食事が食べられなくなるのが怖かったので、食事→買い物の順で回りました。平日だったのでそれほど混んでおらず、食後もゆっくり見て回れました。

それぞれの時間配分はわかりませんが、札幌近郊の観光地を効率よく回るにはとても良かったです。夕方から別なツアーに参加したかったので、とても充実した半日になりました。

I participated with my child! I'm sure we wouldn't have been able to visit so many spots in just one day if we had rented a car! I'm very satisfied! Thank you!

子供と参加させていただきました！
きっとレンタカーだと1日でこんなにたくさんのスポットを回ることはできなかったと思います！大満足です！ありがとうございました！

Having a guide and an audio guide on the bus made the long travel time enjoyable without getting bored. I actually didn't have high expectations for lunch, but it turned out to be better and tastier than I thought. I enjoyed both Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya, and I was able to explore Mount Usu as well. The rest stop at Mushroom Kingdom was also fun (I had mushroom soup and tempura, etc.), making for a satisfying day. On the way back, we could choose our drop-off location, which allowed us to select a convenient spot for evening activities. The guide was very polite, and overall, it was a great experience.

ガイドさんが付くのとバス車内では案内ガイド？が付いていて長い移動時間も飽きる事なく楽しめました。
実は お昼は期待して居なかったのですが思っていたよりも良かったのと美味しかったです。
支笏湖も洞爺湖も楽しめ、有珠山散策？も出来、途中立ち寄る休憩場所の きのこ王国でも楽しめ(きのこ汁や天ぷら等食べました)満足の1日でした。
帰りは降車場所を決められるので夜の行動に良い場所を選択出来、とても便利でした。
ガイドさんは とても丁寧だったしトータルして とても良かったです。

I was looking for a plan for Shirakawa-go and discovered this one. Choosing this was definitely the right decision. Shirakawa-go was nice, but considering the transportation costs from Takayama, it felt a bit expensive for what you get. This plan allowed me to see both Ainokura and Shirakawa-go, and since lunch wasn't included, it was perfect for someone like me who wanted to enjoy walking around and trying different foods. The water pudding, dumplings, and gohei mochi were delicious.

白川郷のプランを探していてこちらを発見。こちらにして大正解でした。白川郷も良かったのですが見所が高山からの交通費を考えると少なく割高。相倉と白川郷を両方見れて、ランチが含まれいない為、自由に食べ歩きをしたい私にはこのプランはベストでした。水プリン、お団子、五平餅が美味しかったです。

Planning a trip to the remote islands by yourself is quite difficult, so it was great to visit three islands all at once! I was worried about lunch after reading other reviews, but I was satisfied with the meal provided on the tour.

The mangroves on Iriomote Island are amazing, and if you're considering a remote island tour from Ishigaki Island, I definitely think you should see them at least once. It was cloudy, very windy, and cold, but the early morning tour was better because the river wasn't rough, and we could see a lot of fish. (If you participate in winter, it's a good idea to bring a light down jacket or something similar, even if it becomes extra luggage.)

The optional water buffalo cart tour on Taketomi Island was very relaxing and enjoyable! If you go, be sure to ride and listen to the guide's songs and stories! The bus tour was also helpful since it was a cold day with bad weather.

I thought it would be nice if we could choose whether to take photos with the water buffalo. (I had already purchased photos with the water buffalo on Yubu Island.) I expected to have a bit more free time on Taketomi Island, so the bus to the port was a little early, and I couldn't shop or do anything, which was a bit disappointing.

Overall, the guidance was smooth, and the guides were friendly, making it a very comfortable tour, so I was very satisfied.

自分で離島巡りを計画するのはかなり難しいので、一気に三島をまわれてよかったです！
お昼ご飯は他のクチコミを見て心配してましたが、ツアーのご飯としては満足できました。

西表島のマングローブは素晴らしく石垣島からの離島ツアーを考えているならぜひ一度は見た方がいいと思います。
曇りでとても風が強く寒かったですが、朝早い時間のツアーの方が川が荒れてなくて魚もたくさん見れました。（冬に参加する場合荷物になったとしても薄めのダウン等は持っておいた方がいいです）



竹富島のオプションの水牛車観光はのんびりできてとてもよかったです！！
行ったら是非乗ってガイドさんの歌とお話を聞いてください！
バスのツアーも天気が悪く寒い日だったので助かりました。

水牛の写真のは撮るかどうか選ばせていただけるといいかな？と思いました。（由布島で水牛との写真を購入してた為)
竹富島でもう少し自由時間があると思っていたので港までのバスが少し早く、買い物したりできなくバタバタしたのが残念でした。

全体としては案内もスムーズでガイドさんたちの感じも良くとっても快適なツアーだったので大満足です。

I thought it might be better to go to Akiyoshido Cave rather than Karato Market. Since we had plenty of time at each spot, it was nice to take our time and enjoy. I imagine Motonosumi Shrine and Tsunoshima would be beautiful on a sunny day. It was a pity it was cloudy.

唐戸市場に行くより、秋芳洞に行ったほうがいいのではないかと思いました。各スポットで十分に時間があったので、ゆっくり見れていいです。元乃隅神社や角島は晴れてるときれいだろうな。曇りだったので残念です。

I thought this was the best tour for those who do not have a car in Okinawa, considering the time aspect as well. Since it is a World Heritage tour, the guide's explanations were very helpful.

沖縄で車を持っていない人には、時間的なことを含めて、最適なツアーと思いました。
世界遺産のツアーなので、添乗員さんの説明もとても参考になりました。

Shirakawa-go was also wonderful, covered in snow from Gokayama, creating a silver world. The guide was experienced, and their interesting explanations were just right, making for a pleasant experience.

白川郷も五箇山の雪に覆われ銀世界で素晴らしかった。ガイドの方もベテランで話も面白く過不足無い説明は気持ちが良かったです。

The explanation about the mangroves was clear and interesting.
The water buffalo cart was strong and comfortable even with a large number of people.
The boat ride was spacious and comfortable, and it swayed less than I expected.
I would definitely like to participate if I have the opportunity.

マングローブでの説明がわかりやすくて面白い
水牛車に大人数が乗っても力強くて快適
船の移動が大型で快適で思ったより揺れが小さかった
機会があればぜひ参加したい

I was worried about my elderly mother using a wheelchair and the potential inconvenience it might cause to others when getting on and off the bus, boarding and disembarking from the boat, and using the water buffalo cart. However, the boat staff, the female bus driver, and the elderly man with the water buffalo cart were all very kind and always offered their assistance. My mother was very happy, and it turned out to be a wonderful trip. Thank you very much for your help.

母が高齢で車椅子利用でバスの乗り降り、ボートの乗下船、水牛車と他の方に迷惑をかける心配がありましたが、ボートのスタッフ、バスの女性ドライバー、水牛車のお爺と皆さんとても親切で、いつも手を差し伸べてくれました。母もとても喜び楽しい旅行となりました。お世話になり、本当に有難うございました。

On February 11th, I participated in my first trip to Kanazawa with guide Yamazaki and driver Matsushita. It was a bit disappointing that it was too warm to see the heavy snowfall I had never experienced before, but I had a wonderful time. The guide and driver provided great insights not only about Shirakawa-go but also about local topics and delicious food in Kanazawa, which made the rest of my trip very rewarding. The guide was very approachable and natural. The driver was very safe in his driving. Thank you very much. I will definitely use your services again when I visit Kanazawa.

2月11日、初めての金沢旅行の初日にガイド山崎さん、ドライバー松下さんで参加。この日暖かすぎて今まで見たことのない豪雪が見れなかったのは残念でしたが、とても素敵な時間を過ごせました。ガイドさんや休憩時のドライバーさんの、白川郷だけでなく、金沢の身近な話題や美味しい食べ物等の紹介がとても参考になり、その後の旅行を大変実のあるものにしてくれました。ガイドさんが自然体で親しみを持てました。ドライバーさん、とても安全運転でした。
ありがとうございます。
また金沢に行く際は利用させていただきます。

Even though it was a tour with strangers, there was someone who couldn't keep time. I fully understand that the guide is also a customer and can't complain, but I would have appreciated a neutral comment.
Shiroi Koibito Park was crowded, and it felt like our stay was too short.
If I have the opportunity to use this service again, I will participate in a full-day tour.

見知らぬ人間のツアーなのに、時間を守れない人がいた。ガイドさんもお客さんだから、文句は言えないのは充分理解はできるけど。当たり障りない一言は欲しかったです。
白い恋人パークが混んでいて、滞在時間が短いように感じました。
今度利用することがあれば、1日ツアーに参加させて頂きます。

I took my 90-year-old grandfather and a 0-year-old child, but we were able to get around easily with all the bus transfers and charter services. It rained, but we had a great time. I don't think we could have managed biking around, so I'm glad we signed up for this tour.

おじいちゃん90歳と0歳の子供を連れて行きましたが、全てバスでの送り迎えや、チャーターで連れて行ってもらい、難なく過ごせました。雨でしたが、とても楽しめました。自転車で周遊するなどは決して出来なかったと思うので、このツアーに申し込んで良かったです。

The bus was very clean and the seats were spacious. We got caught in traffic for over an hour, so if the seats had been cramped, it might have been frustrating, but they were wide enough to stretch my legs, which was a relief.

The tour guide was also polite, making it a good experience.

バスがすごく綺麗で席も広かった。１時間以上の渋滞の巻き込まれたので、狭かったらイライラしたかもしれませんが足を伸ばせるぐらい広かったので助かりました。

添乗員さんも丁寧でいい経験でした。

Manza Beach → Nago Pineapple Park → Kouri Island → Warumi Bridge → Churaumi Aquarium → Okashi Goten. The price including the entrance ticket was incredibly reasonable. The light snacks provided were delicious as well. If I could wish for anything, I would have liked to stay at Churaumi Aquarium for another 30 minutes (laughs). The comfortable bus ride and the guide's explanations were easy to understand and very informative. I want to recommend this to my friends and acquaintances, and if I have the chance to go again, I will definitely use this service.

万座毛→名護パイナップルパーク→古宇利島→ワルミ大橋→
美ら海水族館→御菓子御殿と巡っていただき入園券込みで
この金額はお得すぎました。軽食まで出てなおかつ美味しかったですし。
欲を言えば美ら海水族館にあと30分は居たかった(笑)
快適なバスの乗り心地とガイドさんの説明は聞きやすくためになりました。
友達や知り合いにオススメしたいしまた行く機会があればぜひ利用します。

Since it was a holiday Saturday, the highway was congested with frequent accidents, and we got caught in traffic, which delayed our schedule. However, thanks to the quick thinking of our experienced driver and our trilingual guide, we were able to reverse the original route from Hida Takayama to Shirakawa-go. As a result, we were able to visit both places without reducing our stay time.

I was very satisfied with the personalities of both the guide and the driver. Thank you very much.

祝日の土曜だったので高速道路が混雑しており、事故多発、渋滞に巻き込まれ、予定通りに進まなかったのですが、ベテランと思われる運転手さんとトリリンガルのガイドさんの機転の効いた判断で　飛騨高山→白川郷　の本来のルートを逆にしてくれました。おかげさまで両方、滞在時間を削る事なく旅を終えました。

ガイドさんと運転手さんのお人柄もとても良かったので大満足です。ありがとうございました。

I wanted to take a little more time to explore Shirakawa-go. The meeting point was hard to find. Since the photo was taken from inside the station showing the taxi stand, it was easy to get confused. I thought it would be better to show a photo near the fountain.

白川郷一箇所でいいからもう少しゆっくりと観光したかった。待ち合わせの場所がわかりにくかった。写真は駅の構内からタクシー乗り場を写していたので間違えるもと。写真を出すなら噴水近くでなければと思った。

We started at 8:30 and were picked up at the hotel at 17:30. The 8 hours included the guide's own driving, continuous commentary during the drive, a wonderful escort and guidance at Yakusugi Land, and enjoyable conversations with us. Including the meal, the participation fee was very reasonable, and the cost performance was excellent. It was a fulfilling day that was much more satisfying than renting a car and exploring on our own. It felt like a live-action version of a movie.

8:30にスタートして17:30にホテルに送迎していただいた8時間、ガイド様ご自身のドライブとドライブ中の切れ目のないガイド、ヤクスギランドでの見事なエスコートとガイド、そして私達との楽しい会話　お食事の内容も含めて今回の参加料はとてもお値打ちがありコストパフォーマンスも充分で、車をレンタルして廻りるより内容が非常に充実して満足できた1日でした。ブラ○○○の実写版でした。

The water buffalo cart driver was really good at explaining things and even sang for us, which was fun. I wish we had more time on the beach during the bus tour; I wanted to play a bit longer.

水牛車のお兄さんが凄く説明が上手で歌も歌ってくれて楽しかったです。
バスツアーは時間がなかったのかもう少し浜辺で遊びたかったです。

The bento from Yubu Island was very delicious. The water buffalo cart was also charming and enjoyable. I think it was better to explore Taketomi Island by bicycle as it allowed for more sightseeing.

由布島のお弁当がとてもおいしかった。水牛車も趣がありよかった。竹富島は自転車の方がいろいろ回れてよかったと思う。

It was a bus tour that stopped at various places. Basically, it seems like the cost was just for the bus. However, I was glad to be taken to places I wouldn't normally go on my own.

The description mentioned there would be a foot bath, but there was none to be found anywhere. Why!?

We had free time for lunch at Lake Toya, but the restaurant right in front of us was fully booked. We ended up walking a bit to find a place to eat.

The next stop, Showa Shinzan, seemed to have many restaurants, and there were attractions like a bear ranch and a ropeway, so I thought it might be better to spend more time there for lunch.

The Ice Festival was really great!

色んな所に寄るバスツアーでした。
基本的にはバス代のみなのかな。でも自分ではなかなか行けないので、色んな所に連れてってもらえて良かったです。
説明書きには足湯があると書いてありましたが、どこにもありませんでした。なぜ！？

洞爺湖で自由昼食でしたが、目の前のレストランは予約でいっぱい。少し歩いてお店を探しました。
その次の昭和新山のがお店沢山ありそうだったし、熊牧場やロープウェイなどあったので、そちらで長く時間を取って昼食のが良いのでは？と思いました。

氷濤祭りがとても良かったです！

このツアーは、白川郷と五箇山を効率的に探索するための完璧な方法です。

ガイドとバスの運転手はとても親切で、あなたを歓迎してくれます。故郷に戻ったような気分になります。

白川郷と五箇山を訪れたいなら、このツアーをお勧めします。

This tour is the perfect way to efficiently explore Shirakawa-go and Gokayama.

The guide and bus driver are very friendly and will make you feel welcome. It feels like you are back in your hometown.

If you want to visit Shirakawa-go and Gokayama, I recommend this tour to you.
