All Reviews for Bus Tours

My husband & I ENJOYED this trip so much. At first we were very nervous about purchasing this trip due to the fact that it had a special “review rebate” but it turned out to exceed our expectations.

This trip wouldn’t have been the same without June! He was an amazing tour guide. Being in a different country can be nervous but he explained the culture in a way that you will be able to understand! We got to visit all of the popular destinations here in Kyoto without worrying about calling a taxi, time or even admission costs. June took care of everything!

It was easy since the bus took us around everywhere! The whale shark at the aquarium got us super excited as a family! It was a shame we didn't have enough time to explore the outdoor area much ( ; ; ) Ryukyu Village was a cozy place where we could relax and feel at home! The village idol, a 99-year-old grandma, was so cute! She gave us a lot of energy ^ - ^

バスであちこち連れてってくれるので楽チンでした！
水族館のジンベイザメは親子でテンションMAXなりました！時間がなくて外のエリアはほとんど回れずで残念でした（ ; ; ）
琉球村はこじんまりとしたところでのんびりほっこりできました！
村のアイドル99歳のおばーちゃん！かわいかったです！元気もらいました^ - ^

I thought it would be cold on the open deck bus, but the blankets and hot packs made it just fine! If you have a hat and a mask, you're all set!

It was truly a dazzling display of lights.

オープンデッキバスで寒いかと思ったのですが、ブランケットやホットカイロのサービスで大丈夫❗️
帽子、マスクがあれば完璧‼️

ほんとに光の競宴でした。

Had a great tour with Shiho-san. The meeting point was close to public transport and we left on time, the bus was comfortable. We were lucky to have snow the previous day and Mt Fuji was completely visible, made for beautiful photos. Buffet lunch was plentiful and delicious. The Fuji airways flight simulator was too much fun and would definitely do this again.
The stops along the tour could be a little longer as we arrived back in Tokyo an hour early but overall had a great time.

We booked a tour last minute, but we were lucky to have very good weather for winter and a very clear view of Mount Fuji. We were originally scheduled to go to the 5th station, but previous snow prevented that and we only made it to the 1st station which really isn’t much to speak of. Despite that, we had a great tour and our tour guide, Yoshi, was especially good. I would recommend the experience overall with the caveat that weather may not always be on your side.

It was a pretty nice experience to have opted for this tour. Tour Guide was very friendly and fluent in English. We visited around 5 places with a lot of scenic views of Mount Fuji. Unfortunately, we couldn't go to 5th Station of Mount Fuji because it was closed that day due to snow. But overall it was a fun experience. We also did some origami while we were riding the bus back to Tokyo and the tour guide had some gifts for us too. There was buffet in food and both vegetarian and Halal options were available. However, the halal option just had seafood and vegetarian dishes.

We participated as a couple on December 23rd. There were about six groups participating on a weekday. We were visiting Kanazawa for our honeymoon, and this tour was absolutely fantastic! Thank you very much. Besides us, there were participants from China and Indonesia, so surprisingly, the Japanese were in the minority. The guide was wonderful, accommodating everyone with Japanese, English, and occasionally Chinese. I recommend adding an extra night to visit Shirakawa-go when traveling to Kanazawa. Also, I think it would be great to use this tour. The weather was nice, and we had a wonderful time. Thank you!

12月23日に夫婦2名で参加。
平日で6組程の参加でした。
新婚旅行で金沢を訪れていましたが、今回のツアーはとても最高でした！ありがとうございます。
私達以外は中国とインドネシアの方でまさかの日本人が少数派でしたが、
ガイドさんは日本語と英語、時々中国語など参加者への配慮が行き届き素晴らしい方でした。
金沢へ旅行に行く際は一泊追加して白川郷へ行くことをおすすめします。
そして、是非こちらのツアーを利用されると良いと思います。
お天気も良く、素敵な時間をありがとうございました。

I wasn't expecting much because of the rain, but the illumination was beautiful as it reflected in various ways. At night, the car tail lights and red traffic signals looked like part of the illumination, and since Midosuji is one-way, it made it even more beautiful. Also, the guide was excellent. I would love to experience it again if I have the chance.

雨なので、実はあまり期待していませんでしたが、逆にイルミネーションが乱反射して綺麗でした。
夜は車のテールライトと赤信号迄もがイルミネーションに見えて御堂筋(一方通行)だから余計に綺麗でした。
又、ガイドのおねーさんの案内最高でした。
又機会があれば乗ってみたいです。

We spend 15 days in Japan and took many local tours from many different tour companies, this is by far the best we had.
Jun, our tour guide, a Japanese native with fluent english speaking, very punctual and organized and also gave us enough free time to explore our own. He is very passionate and knowledgeable about Japanese culture and very happy and proudly shared with us along the trip and on every location we visited.
For anyone looking for this tour, I suggest to travel lite, although there's enough time for everyone, we even have a couple with a toddler and stroller within our group at that time, we still manage to finish all location and have spare time. But without our punctual guide, we won't be able to see so many locations in a day.
Very well organized, I will definitely recommend this to everyone.

It was a great day:)) I got lots of information about this wonderful city. I liked all places, especially Fushimi Inari shrine.

Wonderful tour guide, Hiroko, who did everything to see to the needs of the participants. She gave very interesting and informative accounts about Japanese culture and history. She spoke good English. Lunch spread was good and the bus ride was safe and comfortable. The itinerary was also well-planned. The pick up and meeting smoothly done because of Hiroko. Only minus point was that a photo of the pick up point included in the website would have made it easier for participants to know where to wait. A sign posted at the pick up point will also be helpful. Would highly recommend the tour

The trip was well-organised and Hiro, our tour coordinator was very friendly and polite. The fifth station was closed due to snowy conditions so we were brought to a village instead where we could still see Mount Fuji. We wished we had the chance to taste the spring water there but we were lagging behind everyone because we had kids with us and needed more time getting around. The tour covered sufficient places which gave us many opportunities to view Mount Fuji. We had lunch in a lovely restaurant with a full view of the mountain. The food was ok. The area around restaurant was really cute and it would be good if we could have additional time there. I understand though as that it was not the focus of the tour. Most of the time was allocated for the ropeway up to view the mountain and the lake cruise which was a very wise decision. We totally ourselves there. Overall, the tour felt rushed especially so if you have kids with you but understandable due to time constraints.

After work, I took the two-story rooftop bus departing from Osaka Station at 19:20 along Midosuji to Namba. It was my first time seeing the illuminations from above while even riding on the highway. My colleagues, who often hang out in Osaka, really enjoyed it too. I thought the seats were unreserved, but it was nice to have assigned seating. I initially thought 45 minutes might be short, but it turned out to be just right; any longer would have been a bit too cold. I was impressed that there were hand warmers and blankets provided at the seats. The Japanese guide's commentary was very good, but since it was a rooftop bus, it was a little hard to hear at times. It was a great value, and I felt like a tourist, which was very refreshing. I would love to participate in another bus tour.

仕事帰り大阪駅１９：２０発の２階建てのルーフトップバスで御堂筋を難波まで、そのあとなんと高速道路にものって、上からイルミネーションを見るなんて初めてでした。普段から大阪でよく遊ぶ同僚もとっても楽しんでいました。席は自由席と思っていましたがちゃんと指定されていてよかったです。時間も45分では短いかなと思ったけど、あれ以上だとちょっと寒すぎてちょうど良かったです。座席にはカイロやひざ掛けが用意されていて感激しました。日本語ガイドさんのお話しもとても良かったですがルーフトップなのでちょっとだけ声が聞き取りにくかったです。コスパもいいし観光客気分でとっても新鮮でした。また別のバスツアーにも参加したいです。

We participated as a family of four. The water buffalo cart (with island songs) and round-trip ferry were great value, and we are grateful for the friendly service. It was our first time in Ishigaki Island, and it became a wonderful memory. I definitely want to recommend this to everyone.

家族4人で参加しました。水牛車(島唄付き)と往復フェリー込みでコスパに優れ、親切な対応に感謝しております。初めての石垣島、良い思い出になりました。是非皆さんにお勧めしたいです。

I used it again this year, following last year. I would like to make it a year-end tradition. Thank you very much. The loan of knee blankets and the hot pack service were very helpful.

昨年に続き、今年も利用しました。
年末の恒例にしたいくらいです。
ありがとうございました。
膝掛けの貸し出しや、カイロのサービスはとても助かりました。

I participated in a bus tour of Okinawa World and Shurijo Castle in the southern part of Okinawa. We visited Shurijo Castle early in the morning when there were fewer people. It was wonderful to stroll through the natural scenery surrounded by tropical forests in the fresh air. The walking path is made of stone pavement, and it can be slippery when the weather is clear. While you can borrow shoes, I think it's better to wear non-slip, comfortable shoes.

Okinawa World’s Gyokusendo Cave is said to be one of the largest limestone caves in Japan. It was very impressive, mysterious, surprisingly spacious, and beautiful. When I purchased my ticket for Okinawa World, I received a coupon, which allowed me to buy souvenirs at a great price, so I felt lucky.

On the bus, the guide explained things about Okinawa that I didn't know, which I really appreciated. Also, before we arrived at Naha Airport, the guide sang Okinawan folk songs, which was moving and made for a wonderful conclusion to the trip. Thank you very much.

【午前】おきなわワールド＋斎場御嶽の沖縄南部周遊バスツアーに参加しました。
斎場御嶽は朝一の人の少ない時間に行きました。
清らかな空気のなかに南国の森に囲まれ自然な景色を楽しみながら散策するのは最高でした。
散策路は石畳の歩道になり、天気が晴れるときも足元が滑りやすいです。
くつを貸してもらえますが、滑りにくい歩きやすい靴をはいて行った方がいいと思います。

おきなわワールド 玉泉洞は国内最大級の鍾乳洞だそうです。
とても迫力があり、神秘的で驚くほど広く、素敵でした。
おきなわワールド入場券を購入したとき、クーポンをもらい、お得な価格でお土産を買えて、ラッキーでした。

バスの車中にガイドさんは沖縄の知らないことまで説明してくれて本当に良かったと思います。
また、ガイドさんが那覇空港に着く前に沖縄民謡を歌ってくださり、感動的で、良い旅の良い締めになりました。
ありがとうございました。

The price for the water buffalo cart and ferry is surprising! It takes about 10 minutes by bus from the Taketomi Island ferry terminal to reach the center. After that, we enjoyed a ride on the water buffalo cart while listening to the guide's stories and the sounds of the sanshin and singing. I could really feel the guide's love for Taketomi Island, which was nice.

At the end, I was able to take photos of the water buffalo up close, which was very soothing. Everyone was delighted and said they were cute. After that, we had free time and could choose a ferry at 4 PM or 5 PM.

It rained, but it cleared up quickly, and I enjoyed strolling around, seeing the island's plants, vibrant flowers, and butterflies. At Kaiji Beach, I felt liberated from everyday life and was enchanted by the cobalt blue sea. I definitely want to stay next time! Thank you very much!

水牛車とフェリーでこの価格は驚き‼️
竹富島フェリー乗り場からバスで約10分で中心地へ到着。その後水牛車に乗ってガイドさんの話や三線と歌を楽しむ。ガイドさんの竹富島愛が所々に感じ良かったです
最後に水牛の写真もとても近くで撮らせて貰い癒されました。皆、可愛いと大喜びでした。
その後は自由行動で16時か17時のフェリーを選び自由行動。
雨が降ったがすぐ晴れて島の植物、鮮やかな花、蝶を見て散策し、カイジ浜では日常から解放されコバルトブルーの海の色に酔いしれました。次回は是非とも宿泊したいです！
本当に有難うございました。

I recommend this because we were able to efficiently visit various attractions, and since we traveled by bus, we could take a break even when we got tired! In Kyoto, there are many transfers between buses and trains, but with the bus, there was no hassle. The tofu dishes for lunch were also delicious!

色々な見所を効率よく周れたのと、バス移動なので疲れても一息つけるのでオススメです！
京都はバスも電車も乗り換えが多いが、バスなので煩わしさがなかった。
昼御飯の豆腐料理も美味しかった！

It was a bright sunny day throughout. Immediately after the bus started, the tour guide announced that we can not get into the 5th Level......it was predetermined decision not to take to the high level just by giving bluff excuse of bad weather.
We also missed the cruise bcze the coordinator went with some tourists to an other destination.

We didn’t take Foods but other passengers complained about insufficient quantities of foods served to them.

Moreover this tour is not at all recommend.

Nice njoyble journey in double decker bus at Tokyo.......had fun

I visited Okinawa for the first time. I was able to efficiently enjoy the sightseeing spots I wanted to visit in just one day. On the bus, I could listen to the guide's detailed stories about Okinawa. Although there were some rushed moments due to the short stay, the inclusion of entrance tickets made this plan satisfying for the price and efficiency. I highly recommend it!

初めて沖縄を訪れました。
行ってみたい観光スポットを一日で効率良く楽しむ事ができました。バスの中ではガイドさんの沖縄の詳しい話しを聞くことも出来て、
滞在時間が少なく慌しい所もありますが、入場券も付いていて、この価格、効率の良さは満足できるプランでした。オススメです！

I visited two places: "Saijō-ō-take" and "Ganggala Valley."

Saijō-ō-take has poor footing, with many stairs and slopes, and unfortunately, it was pouring rain during my visit. A raincoat and non-slip shoes are essential. I was barely able to walk, and it was far from an enjoyable experience of this ancient sacred site. Given the weather, there's nothing that can be done about it.

At Ganggala Valley, the rain had lightened up, the footing wasn't extremely bad, and we had a dedicated guide for this location, which allowed us to fully enjoy Okinawa's nature. The bus guide shared various knowledge about Okinawa, including the Okinawan dialect, making for an engaging explanation. I got off at Naha Airport early in the afternoon and headed straight home. It was a good schedule for making effective use of time.

「斎場御嶽」「ガンガラーの谷」２か所を回りました。
斎場御嶽は足場が悪く、階段や坂道も多いのですが、訪れた時間帯はなんと大雨。レインコートと滑りにくい靴は必須です。自分は歩くのが精いっぱいで、いにしえの聖地を堪能するには程遠い体験となってしまいました。天気のことなので、こればかりは致し方ありません。
ガンガラーの谷は雨が小降りになったことと、足場が極端に悪いわけではないこと、さらにはこの場所専属のガイドさんがついていることで、沖縄の自然を十分楽しむことができました。
バスのガイドさんは沖縄方言をはじめ、さまざまな沖縄に関する知識を披露してくれ、聞きごたえのある説明でした。午後早い時間に那覇空港で下車、そのまま帰途に就きました。時間を有効に活用するにはよいスケジュールでした。

My family and I really enjoyed this well organised tour, they were very informative. We love all the view points Mt Fuji, it was simply breathtaking. Also, our tour guide Hiro was very helpful and attentive. It was very cloudy at the start of the tour but once we arrived at the fifth station of Mt Fuji the clouds cleared up, so we were lucky enough to get some good photos of Mt Fuji. Highly recommend this tour to families!

It was a sightseeing tour by taxi, and the driver's explanations were easy to understand, which made my wife satisfied. The fare was reasonable, and we were able to fully enjoy Yakushima. We will use this service again when we visit Yakushima next time.

タクシ－での観光でした、ドライバ－さんの説明が分かりやすく妻も満足していました、料金も手ごろで屋久島を堪能出来ました、、再度、屋久島に行く時は利用します。

From the moment the tour started at the love statue in Shinjuku, the service and staff was top notch and very organized.

The bus itself was very clean and comfortable seating. Plenty of leg room for myself at 6’3” which made the ride up to Mt Fuji easy.

The tour guide was the best I have ever had the pleasure to experience. Hope fully you also get Levin as your guide. Incredible sense of humor, knowledge, and perfect English. Learned so much during the tour.

We were lucky enough to see Mt Fuji on one of the clearest days of the year and all the stops provided excellent view points.

The buffet at Ninja village was top notch and was surprised how good it was for a day tour. I especially enjoyed the Japanese curry and rice.

We were also able to reach stage 5 of the mountain which is as high as the vehicles can go. The view from here was breathtaking. Next time I come to Japan I will be sure to book again with this company if they also offer climbing/ hiking tours.

On the decent from stage 5, we were able to be provided the boat cruise on one of the 5 lakes of mt Fuji. Once again, highly organized and great views of the Mountain. Probably over 100 pictures taken over the tour.


I give the company 10/10 and will recommend to others.

I would recommend this tour if you are looking for an efficient and effective use of time to cover all the main attractions of Kyoto in 1 day. The attractions covered were all the must see attractions so there was no time wasted at visiting attractions that were less popular. Time spent at each location is also about right - not too long and not too short. It didn’t feel very rush and we still had time to grab some but and walk around on our own a little. The bus was also comfortable and we manage to catch a nap between the attractions that were further apart. The explanations provided by the guide could be abit more detailed (as we are history lovers), but the information provided is definitely enough if you are looking for just an overview and the gists. Overall, it was definitely a day and money well spent given that we managed to cover all the attractions we wanted to see in Kyoto in one day. It was our first time in Kyoto, so this tour really helped to save us a lot of time and trouble of having to figure our way out via public transport. We wouldn’t have been able to cover all the attractions without this tour. The guided tour also helped us enjoy each attraction efficiently such that we do not have to loiter around aimlessly.

A day trip from Sapporo with lunch included is a convenient distance. Moreover, it would be impossible to visit this many tourist spots using public transportation on your own, so it was a very worthwhile course.

札幌発で日帰りツアーとしては手軽な距離で昼食付。尚且つ自分で公共交通機関で行くとこれだけの観光地を廻るのは無理なので、とてもお得感の有るコースでした。

In front of Nippon Rent-A-Car, there are many tour buses and local buses arriving and departing. A bus with a white base and the company name in cerulean blue stopped at the back, and the guide helped with the check-in. Having three staff members, including the driver and guide, on board provides a sense of security. The tour seal featuring a whale shark is adorable.

There was a toilet break on the way to Kouri Island, which was reassuring. The return time was clearly displayed on the board, making it easy to understand. On Kouri Island, we played at the water's edge, and at the Churaumi Aquarium, we had lunch at the café in front of the whale shark tank. It felt like we were swimming together, and we could sit in front of the tank for 30 minutes on a rotation basis (check-in at the counter). We also got to see a Christmas limited dolphin show. The view from the side of the sea turtle pool was breathtaking!

The sea from the Okashi Goten (Candy Castle) was also very beautiful. The snacks are sold individually, making it easy to buy. At Manzamo, the guide chatted with us while showing us around, which made it enjoyable.

At Ryukyu Village, we got to see a show and took photos with a 99-year-old grandmother. I was surprised by the strength of her handshake! I felt a divine power from her! The guide was kind, talented, and very cute! They sang songs and sign language songs, changed costumes to dance, and we all danced together.

Even though it must have been a long and tiring day, they always responded with a smile. As the day came to an end, I felt very sad. The guide's message brought me to tears. Thanks to the guide, I created wonderful memories of Okinawa. Thank you!

ニッポンレンタカーの前はツアーバスや路線バスがたくさん発着します。後ろのほうに白ベースに青でセルリアンブルーと会社名が入ったバスが止まり、ガイドさんが受付してくれました。運転手さん、ガイドさん、男性社員さん3人が同乗されるのも安心感があります。ツアーシールはジンベエザメでかわいいです。
古宇利島までの間、トイレ休憩があり安心です。戻り時間はボードでも表示してくれて分かりやすいです。古宇利島では波打ち際で遊んで、美ら海水族館では、ジンベエザメの水槽前カフェでランチ。一緒に泳いでいるみたいで水槽前は30分入れ替え制で座れます。（カウンターで受付）クリスマス限定のイルカショーも見れました。ウミガメプール横からの景色は絶景！
お菓子御殿からの海もとっても綺麗。
お菓子もバラ売りしてるので気軽に買えます。
万座毛はガイドさんが一緒におしゃべりしながら回って下さり楽しく回れました。
琉球村では、ショーもみれて、99歳のおばあちゃんと写真撮影。握手した手の力強さにびっくり！神々しいパワーをもらいました！！
ガイドさんは優しくて、多才で、とってもcute！歌や手話歌を歌ってくれたり、衣装チェンジして踊ってくれたり、みんなで踊ったり、
一日長くて大変だと思うのに、いつも笑顔で対応して下さいました。一日一緒にいると終わりに近づくにつれとても寂しくなりました。
ガイドさんのメッセージには涙
ガイドさんのおかげで素敵な沖縄の思い出が出来ました。ありがとうございます。

I participated on the last day. We departed near the terminal and it was fun to sightsee at Kabira Bay. It truly was the scenery I saw in photos. On the way back, I was dropped off at the airport and headed home. It was a fulfilling tour that made very effective use of my time.

最後の日に参加しました。ターミナル近くから出発し、川平湾でも観光できて楽しかったです。
ほんと写真でみた光景でした。
帰りは、空港で下ろしていただき、帰路へ。。
時間をとても有効に使えて充実したツアーでした。

Very good experience overall. Professional bus driver who drove safely and kept to the strict timelines. Our guide Joon was very friendly and witty. Well done!
I would suggest that the lunch option should include seafood or halal options. After a full day of walking settling for pure vegetarian food was a bit of a let down. Otherwise, I strongly recommend this tour to visitors who have limited time in Kyoto. It takes you to all the major sites and provides you with a good orientation of the city.
