All Reviews for Bus Tours

I thought it would be difficult to travel around Tokyo by train, so I purchased this bus ticket. I only visited Tokyo Tower and Senso-ji Temple & Kaminarimon, but I also enjoyed the views from the bus ride.

東京で電車移動での観光は難しいと思って、このバスチケットを購入しました。観光したのは東京タワーと浅草寺＆雷門だけだったけど、バスでのドライブの車窓も楽しめました。

We participated as a family of four. Perhaps due to the impact of GO TO, we were a bit surprised by the fully booked large bus, but they took proper infection control measures, which made us feel safe. In Shirakawa-go, we were able to stroll freely in a relaxed atmosphere, and there was no rush throughout the itinerary, allowing us to fully enjoy our time. The guide, Mr. Kuroda, also shared interesting stories. On the way back, we purchased the recommended Tsukiyomi Yamaji. It was indeed very delicious with a moderate sweetness. Thank you for a fun day. We appreciate your help.

家族四人で参加しました。GO TOの影響もあってか満席の大型バスに少し驚きましたがきちんと感染対策もして下さり安心できました。白川郷ではのんびりした時間軸の中で自由に散策ができましたし、旅程の中どこにも慌ただしさがなく、満喫できました。ガイドの黒田さんのお話も面白かったです。帰りにはおすすめ頂いた月よみ山路も購入。甘さ控えめで確かにとっても美味しかったです。楽しい一日をありがとうございました。お世話になりました。

I was drawn to the tour title "Guided by a Famous Guide!" and the reviews mentioned that it was fun to listen to the sanshin, so I signed up. However, the guide was just an ordinary one. It might be due to the impact of COVID-19, but I signed up for this tour specifically for the guide, so I would appreciate it if any changes were clearly noted.

Additionally, there were some unrealistic aspects in the itinerary. Even though the roads weren't congested, I was told to return quickly from the first drop-off point because there wasn't enough time, and lunch was only 40 minutes, making it a rushed tour.

On the positive side, the driver's bright smile was wonderful! After the tour, I happened to take the same bus line with the same driver, who was a lovely person!

ツアーのタイトルにあった『名物ガイドがご案内！』に惹かれて、口コミでも三線が聴けて楽しいといった内容だったので申し込んだのですが、普通のガイドさんでした。。
コロナの影響かもしれませんが、ガイドさん目当てでこのツアーに申し込んだので、変更点はちゃんと記載してほしいです。
その他、ちょっと行程表に無理があります。
道路が混雑していないのに、1つめの降車地から時間がないからすぐに戻るように言われたり、昼食が40分だったりと、バタバタなツアーです。
良かった点は、ドライバーさんの明るい笑顔！
ツアー後、たまたま乗車した路線バスも同じドライバーさんで、素敵な方でした！

It was a tour with a lot of travel, but each destination was filled with emotion. On the last day of the trip, I thought everyone would be tired, so I chose the water buffalo cart and bus tour on Taketomi Island. It was the right decision to go with the bus tour. I thought the mangrove boat ride would be a slow and quiet way to enjoy the forest, but it was great with the guide's explanations and the opportunity to take photos. It became a wonderful memory.

移動が多いツアーでしたが、行く先々は感動でいっぱいでした。旅の最終日に参加で疲れもあるだろうと思い、竹富島では水牛車とバスツアーにしました。バスツアーにして正解でした。マングローブ船はゆっくり静かに森林を楽しむのかなと思っていましたが、ガイドさんの説明もあり写真も撮れてよかったです。良き思い出となりした。

The highly trained staff was great. The guide's knowledge and skills were also impressive. I would like to use this service again.

非常に訓練された運行スタッフで良かったです
ガイドさんの知識も技量も高かったです
また利用したいと思います

I joined in the late morning, and I'm glad the weather was nice. The traffic is quite heavy, so the later stops are running behind schedule.

午前中の遅い時間から参加しましたが、天気が良くてよかったです。渋滞がかなりすごいので後の停留所は遅れ気味です。

The tour content was good. However, I was disappointed that the bus was a microbus. We couldn't maintain distance from other participants, and since there were elderly people in the group, I really wished they had provided a proper sightseeing bus that allowed for spacing, especially during these times. I understand that it's tough with the increasing number of infections, but that aspect was truly disappointing.

ツアー内容は良かったです。ただ、バスがマイクロバスでがっかりです。
他の参加者とも間隔を開けられないし、高齢の方もいたので、こんな時だからこそ、ちゃんと間隔をあけられる観光バスにしてほしかったです。
感染者が増えてるので、大変なのもわかりますが、そこだけはほんと残念でした。

The tour of Iriomote Island was interesting with explanations about the mangroves. On Yubu Island, I could hear the wonderful singing along with the water buffalo cart and sanshin. Taketomi Island was also great, as I enjoyed a cycling tour under the blue sky. It was a wonderful day.

西表島のツアーは、マングローブの説明も面白く、
　由布島の、水牛車も三線と、素晴らしい歌声が聞けて
竹富島も、青空の元　サイクリングツアーにしてとても良い
一日でした。

Our schedule was so tight. Our your guide's knowledge was amazing. However, we were called by a number, not our name. A bit disappointed.

Since I was traveling alone, it was great to be taken to various places in just one day! I was happy to be able to use both the water buffalo cart and the rental bicycle.

ひとり旅だったので、１日で色々な所に連れて行ってもらえて楽でした！ 水牛車とレンタサイクルどちらも利用できて良かったです。

It was just Halloween, and American Village was bustling with both adults and children in costumes. Furthermore, the time of arrival coincided perfectly with sunset, which was very beautiful.
Although the time on Kouri Island was a bit short, I still thought it was a great tour overall.

ちょうどハロウィンでしたが、アメリカンビレッジは大人も子供も仮装した方が多く活気が溢れていました。さらに、到着した時刻がちょうどサンセットでとても美しかったです。
古宇利島の時間が少し短かったですが、それも含めた上でも良いツアーだと思いました。

I visited Shirakawa-go for the first time.
The bus provided a wealth of information, and I think participating in the tour allowed for a smooth visit.
We were also blessed with good weather, making it a wonderful trip.
Thank you very much.

初めて白川郷に行きました。
バスの中も豊富な情報をお話頂き、ツアーに参加したからスムーズに見学ができたと思います。
天気にも恵まれとても良い旅ができました。
ありがとうございました。

I enjoyed a full tour around Yakushima while listening to the bus guide's explanations. As we drove along the Western Forest Road, we were able to see monkeys and deer along the roadside since it's a UNESCO World Heritage protected area, which was a lot of fun. There were discoveries that I wouldn't have noticed just driving around on my own with a rental car.

屋久島一周をバスガイドの説明を聞きながら楽しめました。西部林道を走っていると世界遺産の保護区なので、猿や鹿が道路際に出没して楽しめました。
個人で、レンタカーでただ走っているだけではわからない発見がありました。

It was a small group of three, including myself, and we had a cheerful bus trip! Being able to get along with everyone who participated is one of the joys of traveling!

I tend to have a strong travel style, preferring hidden gems and gourmet experiences over typical tourist spots, so I appreciated that this tour had plenty of free time and allowed us to move around as we liked within the time frame. Thanks to that, I was able to buy some delicious bread.

We arrived at Shirakawa-go early in the morning, so we could take photos in a relaxed atmosphere. The Hida beef miso on a magnolia leaf for lunch was also a highlight!

In Takayama, I felt like I was on a little pilgrimage to some sacred sites.

Above all, the guide's entertaining stories really hit the spot, and even now on my way home, I find myself laughing as I remember them!

Thank you to the guide and the driver! It was a memorable trip. I am grateful for this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

私を入れて3人、少人数で和気藹々のバス旅でした！参加した皆さんと仲良く出来るのも旅の醍醐味ですね！

私は旅のクセが強くがっつり観光地を巡るよりは知る人ぞ知る場所やグルメに興味がある方なので、このツアーは自由時間も長く、時間内なら好きに動いていいのが有り難かったです。お陰で美味しいパンが買えました。

白川郷は朝早めに着くので、のんびりした空気の写真が撮れますよね。お昼ご飯の飛騨牛朴葉味噌もポイント高いですよねー！

飛騨高山ではちょっとした聖地巡礼もした気分になれました。

何よりガイドさんの面白話しがツボに入り帰路に着いた今でも思い出して笑っております笑笑

ガイドさんドライバーさんお世話になりました！
思い出深い旅になりました。一期一会に感謝。

The mangrove cruise in Iriomote Island offers a thorough explanation about mangroves, making it educational. The water buffalo cart experience in Yubu Island and Taketomi Island was enjoyable as we could leisurely sightsee while taking in beautiful landscapes and the characteristic streets of Okinawa.

西表島のマングローブクルーズでは、マングローブについて丁寧に説明してもらえて勉強にもなります。由布島、竹富島の水牛車体験では綺麗な風景や沖縄らしい街並みを見ながらのんびり観光できたのが良かったです。

I had always wanted to visit Gokayama and Shirakawa-go. The guide provided great recommendations for must-see spots and hidden scenic photo locations, making for a very enjoyable day. The lunch was also very delicious. I wanted to experience making washi paper in Gokayama, but unfortunately, it was closed. The last stop was a hands-on experience making rice crackers, which was very easy and tasty, and I ended up buying too many as souvenirs. I would love to participate again if I have the chance. Thank you for a wonderful day!

以前から行きたかった五箇山、白川郷
ガイドさんには見学のおすすめの場所や穴場の絶景photoスポットを教えていただきとても楽しい１日を過ごすことができました。
ランチもとても美味しかったです。
五箇山で和紙漉き体験をしたかったのですが、お休みだったので残念でした。
最後に立ち寄ったお煎餅の手作り体験はとても簡単で美味しくついついお土産に買いすぎてしまいました。
また機会があれば参加させていただきたいと思います。
楽しい１日をありがとうございました‼️

I participated with the aquarium as my main goal. It seems that this popular tour usually requires a full house, but there were only 17 participants, so I secured four seats for myself. The guide even entertained us with songs and played the sanshin without me asking, which greatly increased my satisfaction. American Village has many shops and restaurants, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of America. There are so many places to explore that one day isn't enough, so I would like to try again.

水族館を目あてに参加しました。
普段は満席必須の人気ツアーのようですが17名だったのでひとりで4席確保。
頼んでもいないのにガイドさんが歌や三線まで披露していただき満足度上々でした。
アメリカンビレッジは雑貨屋や飲食店が多く、アメリカを彷彿とさせる佇まいです。
一日では回りきれない数なのでまたチャレンジしたいです。

Out of the eight people, four participated alone, while the remaining two couples seemed to be married.

At Saiha no Utaki, we split into those who chose Okinawa World and those who chose the Valley of Gangala.

One person slipped and fell. Due to the rain, it's advisable to wear comfortable shoes like sneakers.

Currently, you cannot pass through the Utaki and can only view it from the front. Unlike the photos, I didn't notice it at first, but there was a staff member present who informed us.

At the Valley of Gangala, we gathered at the cave café first, and then a male guide provided us with a tour.

For those who wanted, they offered water bottles filled with sanpin tea and shared insect repellent gel.

They mentioned that on rainy days, certain animals come out, and the moderately wet scenery of the valley is recommended for a stroll. Indeed, the mystical atmosphere was enhanced by the rain, making it very beautiful. The presence of the banyan tree is overwhelming.

While Okinawa is strongly associated with the sea, spending time surrounded by greenery was also very luxurious and refreshing.

8名の内、4人が1人参加、残りはご夫婦らしき2組。

斎場御嶽はそのまま、おきなわワールドとガンガラーの谷は選択した方へ別れます。

お一人、滑って転んだ方がいらっしゃいました。
雨のせいもありますが、スニーカー等靴は歩きやすい物を。

御嶽は現在通り抜けできなくなっていて、正面から見る感じです。
写真と違い、最初気がつきませんでしたが、その場に係りの方がいらっしゃり、教えて下さいました。

ガンガラーの谷は最初に洞窟カフェで集まり、そこから男性ガイドが案内して下さいます。

さんぴん茶の入った水筒を希望者にはくれて虫除けジェルも分けてくれます。

雨の日だからこそ、出てくる動物もいること、散策には適度に濡れた谷の景色がおすすめ等、教えて下さいましたが、確かに幻想的な雰囲気が雨で増した感じでとても素敵でした。
ガジュマルの木の存在感は圧倒的です。

沖縄は海のイメージが強いですが、緑に囲まれて過ごす時間もとても贅沢で気分転換になりました。

On the last day of my 3-night, 4-day trip, I had some time before my flight, so I joined a morning tour. Since I was traveling alone, it was more convenient than renting a car. The guide was very kind, and I was able to efficiently tour the island while listening to explanations about it, so I’m glad I participated!

3泊4日の最終日、飛行機まで時間があったので、午前中のツアーに参加しました。一人旅でしたので、レンタカーより気楽に利用できました。ガイドの方もとても親切で、島の説明を聞きながら効率的に島を一周できましたので、参加してよかったです！

竹富島's highlights are condensed, making it recommended for those with limited time. The glass-bottom boat was a bit disappointing as there weren't many fish around the area.

竹富島の良いとこ凝縮されて、時間のない方にはオススメてす。
グラスボードは竹富島の辺りあまりお魚が多くなくて、少し残念でした、

I was able to leisurely visit Shirakawa-go and Gokayama, and the guide was very kind, sharing various stories that made it enjoyable. The lunch was also delicious and satisfying.

ゆっくり白川郷や五箇山を見学できガイドさんも親切な方で色々な話を聞けて楽しかったです。昼食も美味しく満足な内容でした。

万座毛の美しい景色、海洋公園でのイルカショー、恋の島の美しい景色、すべてがとても印象的でした。本当に価値のある旅行です。スタッフはとても親切で、この旅行はとても楽しかったです。

The beautiful view of Manzamo, the dolphin show in the ocean park, the beautiful view of the love island, all are so impressive. This is a really value trip. The stuffs were very nice, very enjoyable, this trip.

I applied for something I could use in Tokyo since my Beltora points are about to expire and I can't go abroad. It was a beautiful autumn day, so even without windows, it felt nice, and the splash was more spectacular than I expected, making it a lot of fun.

ベルトラのポイントが切れそうで海外にもいけないので東京内で使えるものがないかと申し込みました。秋晴れの日だったので窓がなくても気持ちよく、スプラッシュは思っていたより豪快で楽しかったです。

I wanted to visit Taketomi Island and Iriomote Island in one day, so I used this service. To put it simply, I’m really glad I did! All the transportation, including the bus ride to the water buffalo riding area after arriving at Iriomote Island, was included in the plan, making it very convenient. If we had tried to explore on our own, I think we would have struggled with taxis or the limited bus services. Although it wasn’t a guided tour, there were local staff at each destination, which made it easy to feel secure while exploring.

I chose the rental bicycle plan on Taketomi Island and enjoyed sightseeing freely. It was also part of the Go To campaign, so I got a 35% discount, and I received regional common coupons, making it a great deal! The staff were all very friendly. Thanks to this plan, I made wonderful memories. Thank you!

１日で竹富島と西表島を回りたかったので利用しました。
結論から言うと、利用して本当によかったです！
西表島についてから水牛乗り場へのバス移動なども全てプランに含まれていたので非常に楽でした。
自分たちで回ろうとするとタクシーか路線バス（かなり便が少なそうでした）で苦労したと思います。
ガイド同伴のツアーではないですが、行く先々で現地のスタッフさんがいて安心して回ることができました。
竹富島はレンタルサイクルプランにして、自由に観光でしました。
gotoキャンペーン対象で35%オフでしたし、地域共通クーポンも貰えてとてもお得でした！
スタッフの方もみんな親切でした。このプランのおかげで最高の思い出ができました。ありがとうございました。

This time, I think it was much more economical than driving around with a rental car since it was eligible for Goto. The Churaumi Aquarium was a bit hectic, but I was glad to see the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium show without any issues. I was very satisfied with how efficiently we were able to visit the tourist spots. The guide and the driver were also polite, and the service was impeccable.

今回はGoto対象だったのでレンタカーで回るよりもずっとお得だったと思います。美ら海水族館は少しバタバタでしたが、おきちゃんショーも無事見れて良かったです。効率よく観光地を回れて大満足でした。
ガイドさん、ドライバーさんも丁寧でサービスも申し分なしです。

One of the great things about a bus tour is that you can relax and enjoy the scenery or even take a nap while traveling. After walking around the zoo and working up an appetite, I indulged in a luxurious lunch featuring Hokkaido's famous Genghis Khan from the selection of available meals, followed by a filling dessert of melon. Both my eyes and my taste buds were satisfied.

移動中はのんびり景色を見たりお昼寝もできちゃうのがバスツアーのいいところ。動物園で歩いてお腹を空かせたところで、選べる昼食のなかから北海道名物のジンギスカンを堪能してメロンでお腹一杯という贅沢な昼食。
目も口も満足でした。

My first visit to Taketomi Island was peaceful and really great!

The glass-bottom boat was quite shaky because the sea was rough, but even in that situation, I had a lot of fun seeing many fish!

The water buffalo cart is a wonderful way to leisurely explore Taketomi Island! The stories from the person taking care of the water buffalo are interesting, and they even play the sanshin and sing along the way. It was the best!!

初の竹富島、のどかですごくよかった！

グラスボードは、
海が荒れていたので、すごくゆれたけど、
その状況でも、
お魚が沢山見れてたのしかった！

水牛車は、
ゆったり竹富島をまわるのに
とても良い！
水牛のお世話の人の話も面白いし
途中でサンシン弾いて歌ってくれるし、
最高です！！

I was able to enjoy half a day of sightseeing before returning on the evening flight.

The bus tour felt shorter than I expected, as it seemed more like a ride just to see the star sand, but I was glad to experience various activities like the glass-bottom boat and the water buffalo without any wasted time.

For those who want to relax, it might be a good idea to choose a course that only includes the water buffalo and then do some free exploration afterward.

夕方の便で帰る前の観光として
半日を有効に楽しめました。

Churaumi Aquarium and the pineapple garden can still be enjoyed while paying attention to social distancing, and not much has changed from before. Manzamo has transformed the aisles of souvenir shops. The tourist facilities and observation deck are open. We were blessed with good weather and were very satisfied.

美ら海水族館、パイナップル園はソーシャルディスタンスに注意しながら観光するも以前とあまり変わらず。万座毛は　土産物店の通路が大変身。観光施設と展望台がオープン。天候にも恵まれ大満足。

It's been over 40 years since I visited Gyokusendo. It's very long, mysterious, and beautifully lit up, so I highly recommend it. The outside temperature was 30°C, but it was cool and comfortable inside the cave. Just be careful of the dripping water from the ceiling...

40数年ぶりの玉泉洞。とても長く、神秘的でキレイにライトアップされておりお勧めです。外気温が30°のあったのですが、鍾乳洞内は涼しくて快適快適でした。天井からの水滴に注意ですかね・・・
