All Reviews for Bus Tours

I used this service before heading to the airport on my return home. It's a great tour that allows for sightseeing and drops you off at the airport. The guide played the sanshin and sang on the bus. It's a very good tour.

帰宅日、空港行く前に利用しました。
観光もできて空港で下車できていうことないツアーです。バスの中でガイドさんが三線を弾いて歌ってくれました。とてもよいツアーです。

It was a very good tour. The tour guide is very knowledgable about the places. He also gave us lots of free time taking pictures and buy souvenirs. Our lunch was also good. We will book again here on our future japan tour again. Thank you

The cost performance was excellent. I was able to enjoy both the lake and the mountains at this price. The view is beautiful and very soothing. The lunch was also quite delicious.

コスパが最高でした。この値段でみずうみも山も楽しむことができました。眺めが綺麗で、癒やしです。昼食も結構美味しいですよ。

I was disappointed to find out that I couldn't enter Saijo-otake due to the impact of the typhoon after arriving. It might be unavoidable, but they did adjust the tour time for Saijo-otake flexibly. At the Gangala Valley, the guide provided thorough explanations, which was very good. During the transfer, the bus guide also shared various information about Okinawa, which I enjoyed.

斎場御嶽に着いてから台風の影響で入れないことが分かり残念でした。仕方ないことかもしれませんが。ただ、斎場御嶽のツアー時間を短くするなど臨機応変に対応はして下さいました。
ガンガラーの谷ではガイドさんが丁寧に説明して下さり、とても良かったです。
移動の最中はバスガイドさんが色々沖縄のことについて説明してくれたためそれも楽しめました。

This trip was in general very good. It was easy to find the meeting spot and the person who was standing there waiting was very helpful and made sure that everyone got on the bus etc. The bus was very comfortable and when arriving at the fifth plateau it was unfortunately cloudy. However the bus driver stopped at a second stop that was not in the plan and there we were able to see the top. Very appreciated! The lake cruise and the ropeway ride was okay, would probably be more fun if it was sunny. The time at this stop was too long as well. In the end, everyone was standing around and waiting for the bus to go back to Tokyo so maybe reduce the time there during the off season. But in general, a very good 1-day trip that I would recommend.

My husband and I did this great tour together. It was filled with fantastic views and sceneries. The boat cruise was amazing and Mount Fuji is stunning. It's 100% recommended to do this tour if you want to experience Mount Fuji from different points of views. It might get cold out there, so we recommend you bring a sweater. The tour leader was a sweetheart and the Veltra team did a great job organising every part of the trip. We highly recommend this tour.

The overall experience was outstanding. Both the tour leader and bus driver were very friendly and offer assistant in any way they can. At every stop the tour leader explained very carefully what to do and when we need to get back to the bus. The 5th Station was cloudy and we did not get the chance to see Mt. Fuji. Same for Lake Kawaguchi. However after riding the ropeway to the top of the mountain and wait for a while, we could finally see the peak of Mt. Fuji. Such an amazing experience. The best part of the tour is the western-style lunch at a very cozy restaurant, and the $3 coupon. We did not use the coupon to buy ice cream but to buy souvenir because there are many selections.

The entire process of booking the trip, partaking in the day’s activities, and returning back to Tokyo was all seamless. We were blessed with beautiful weather and clear views of Mt. Fuji, which was a huge bonus. Lunch was great. If you are a big eater, I would recommend bringing or buying a snack for the ride home in the evening. Overall, very satisfied!

Had an amazing time on this tour. Our tour guide communicated clearly and effectively with the guests. He made sure everyone knew when and where to come back at and willingly answered everyones questions. The weather was perfect!! We saw Mt. Fuji in all its beauty. Lunch was pretty good with a fun spot at FujiQ theme park. Lots of photo opportunities! The boat ride was great, you get to see mt. Fuji without interruptions. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to spend a day seeing the famous mountain

I was satisfied with the bus tour I booked this time. The tour guide was cheerful, and the bus driver was kind. I think it was great that we were able to visit many sightseeing spots, but I wish we had a bit more time. It felt like there wasn't much time to buy souvenirs leisurely. However, overall, compared to traveling alone using public transportation, it was stress-free, and I would like to use this service again next time.

今回は、バスツアーを予約して満足でした。
ツアーガイドさんも明るく、バスの運転士さんも親切でした。
観光名所をたくさん訪れる事が出来て良かったとは思いますが、時間にもう少し余裕があれば良かったと思います。お土産などをゆっくり買う時間はあまりなかった感じです。
でも、全体的には、個人で公共の交通機関を利用してまわることを考えたらストレスがなくて、次回も利用したいと思いました。

This was my first time participating in this kind of bus tour, and I had a great time learning various things thanks to the bus guide's extensive knowledge. I got to see the professionalism in their work. Thank you very much.

この手のバスツアーへの参加は初めてでしたが、バスガイドさんの豊富な知識で様々な事を知れて大変楽しめました。プロの仕事ぶりを見せて頂きました。有難うございました。

The Eisa performance at Okinawa World was very powerful and provided a fun time. The limestone cave was quite large and impressive.

Also, since it had just rained, the Sefa Utaki was very slippery, and I walked down the slope quite slowly. They do lend you shoes, but I think it's important to wear shoes that are less slippery.

The guide in the car provided a lot of explanations, and I was really glad to learn things that I wouldn't have known if I had gone on my own.

おきなわワールドのエイサーはとても迫力もあり、楽しい時間でした。鍾乳洞はとても大きく見応えのあるものでした。
また斎場御嶽は雨上がりだったため、とても滑りやすく、帰りの坂はかなりゆっくり歩いてきました。くつも貸してくれますが、しっかり滑りにくい靴をはいて行くのが大切だと思います。
車中ガイドさんがたくさん説明をしてくれて、個人で行くとなかなかわからないことまで知ることができ本当に良かったと思います。

First, there was a mix-up with the meeting place, and we were made to wait longer than scheduled. I naturally thought we would tour Pineapple Park in the pineapple-shaped car shown in the pictures, but due to congestion, despite arriving earlier than planned, we ended up just walking around, which was disappointing.

We spent three hours at the aquarium, watched the dolphin show, and didn't have time to visit other botanical gardens. We saw whale sharks at the aquarium, and since it was Saturday, the souvenir shop was crowded. The bus stop at the meeting place was quite far, so in the end, we didn't have time to buy anything.

Considering the transportation costs, the admission fee is cheap, so I understand that. However, I wish they had reduced the time for lunch at the facility we stopped at (the small sandwiches were not good) and allowed us to eat our bento on the bus instead, so we could have more time at the aquarium.

まず集合場所の取違いがあり、予定時間より待たされました。
パイナップルパークは当然、看板写真にあるパイナップルの車？で巡ると思っていたら、混雑との事で、予定より早めに着いたにもかかわらず、まさかの歩いて回るだけでガッカリ。
水族園で三時間、イルカショーをみて、他の植物園などまわる時間はなく、水族園でジンベイザメなどをみて、土曜日だったこともあり最後お土産やさんも並んでて、集合場所のバス乗り場まで距離があるため、結局買う時間なかったです。
交通費を思えば入場料付きで安いので仕方ないとはいえ、途中で寄った施設でのランチ(小さなサンドイッチ不味いです)の時間を削って、バス内でお弁当を食べるなどにして、水族園の時間を増やしてほしいと思いました。

The best option for foreigners to visit Mt. Fuji as a one day trip. The trip was very well planned and organized. Our tour coordinator was very pleasant and friendly. She was very informative about the various attractions on the way as well as the planned spots. Our first destination was fifth station of Mt. Fuji. Even though clouds covered Mt. Fuji most of the time, we were able to have a pretty good look at the highest peak of Japan, thanks to our generous driver who stopped at a point( when the clouds moved away for a few moments) just below the fifth station on our way back. The next destination was lake kawaguchi where we experienced lake cruise and rope way ride. The lake is surrounded by green landscape. This will be a perfect option for any group like family, friends, couples etc.

The place where I had lunch was old, and it had a souvenir shop attached to the cafeteria, but there was a hall with a lot of butterflies, which was uncomfortable. I wouldn't recommend that place. Everything else was good. It was easy to travel by bus, I could enjoy the scenery, and the prices were reasonable.

お昼を食べた場所は古く、食堂にお土産屋さんがついてる所だったのですが、そこに蝶がたくさんいる館があったのですが、気持ち悪かったです。あそこはないな～×。そこ以外は良かったです。バスで楽だし、景色も見られるし、値段もお手頃でした。

The experience overall was amazing starting with the bus journey to Fuji which was comfy and air conditioned with a friendly driver. Our tour leader was extremely informative, happy and spoke great English. The 5th station was cloudy but it was a lovely area to walk around and the views were still incredible. The boat journey on Lake kawaguchi was stunning and peaceful. What made the whole trip was when we went up the ropeway the cloudy had moved and we could see Mount Fuji clearly. A lovely touch at the end was a voucher for ice cream. I would recommend this trip to everyone who want to see Mount Fuji or just wants a trip outside busy Tokyo.

I booked a round-trip ticket plus a water buffalo cart plan. It's more economical than purchasing them separately! After riding the water buffalo cart, there was free time, and the return time was just right.

往復乗車券＋水牛車のプランを申し込みました。別々に購入するよりお得です！
水牛車に乗った後は自由時間があり、帰りの時間もちょうど良かったです。

The bus tour from Kanazawa to Shirakawa-go was wonderful, thanks to the excellent service from our guide K and driver M from the organizing company, White Ring. The bus parking and dining location were right in the main street of Shirakawa-go, so there was no time loss for exploring. The information about various sightseeing spots and souvenirs made our exploration time even more fulfilling. I definitely want to participate in the autumn foliage and winter illumination if I get the chance.

金沢発の白川郷バスツアーですが、開催会社ホワイトリングのガイドＫさん＆ドライバーＭさんの対応がすばらしく、思い出になる旅行となりました。
白川郷メイン通り内にバス駐車＆食事場所でしたので散策にタイムロスがないです。
散策スポットやいろいろなお土産情報が、散策時間をより充実させてくれました。
ぜひ　秋の紅葉や冬のライトアップに機会あったら参加したいです。

I participated with my elementary school child. It was a very nice and hot day, but the view from the open deck was great. (A hat and jacket are essential.) Since it can be difficult to move around with children, I'm glad we participated!

小学生の子どもとふたりで参加しました。
とても天気が良く暑い日でしたが、オープンデッキからの眺めがよかったです。(帽子や上着は必須です)
子ども連れだといろいろまわることが出来ないので、参加してよかったです！

We participated as a family of four (two adults, a 3-year-old, and an 8-month-old). Due to weather conditions, we changed our schedule to one day earlier at the last minute, but they handled everything, including transportation to the hotel, very well.

It was our first time exploring the remote islands, and we truly enjoyed the mangroves of Iriomote Island, the water buffalo on Yubu Island, and the sightseeing spots on Taketomi Island while cycling.

Our 3-year-old especially loved the water buffalo on Yubu Island, enjoying the experience of holding the reins, feeding them, and touching them (for a fee of 500 yen). Additionally, even though it was a full day plan starting early in the morning, our 8-month-old managed just fine.

If given the opportunity, I would love to use this service with my family again.

家族4人（夫婦＋3歳＋0歳8ヶ月）で参加しました。
天候の関係で直前に1日前倒しの日程に変更してもらいましたが、ホテルまでの送迎も含めてしっかりと対応をいただきました。

はじめての離島巡りでしたが、西表島のマングローブや由布島の水牛、竹富島のレンタサイクルでの観光スポット巡りなど本当に楽しめました。

特に3歳の子供は由布島での水牛が気に入ったらしく、水牛の手綱を引いたり、餌をあげたり、タッチをしたりするふれあい体験が楽しかったそうです。（有料500円）
また、朝早くからの1日がかりのプランでしたが、0歳8ヶ月の子供も問題なく乗り切れました
♩

機会があればまた家族で利用したいと思います。

I was able to visit popular spots like the Churaumi Aquarium in just one day, and I was very satisfied. My top recommendation is the bus guide. Not only does she provide information about the tourist attractions, but she also shares various stories about Okinawa's past and present. She is great at storytelling and singing, and her pleasant demeanor made it the best memory of my trip.

美ら海水族館などの人気のスポットを、1日でまわることが出来て、大満足です。
一番のおススメは、バスガイドさんです。観光地の案内だけでなく、沖縄の今、昔のいろいろなお話をしてくれます。お話も歌も上手で感じも良くて、旅の一番の思い出になりました。

In the Valley of Gangala, you walk through nature and hear explanations about how ancient locals lived in that area. It was a very interesting story, and I had a great time spending half a day there.

ガンガラーの谷は自然の中を歩いて大昔の現地の人が、その場所で生活していた状況などの説明を聞きます。とても興味深い話で楽しく半日過ごせました。

This time, I participated in a solo trip. It had been since my school trip that I visited Kyoto. For someone like me who has no sense of direction, I was able to efficiently visit the main tourist spots and truly enjoyed it. The sightseeing bus was completely different in terms of comfort and views compared to public transportation—it was fantastic! It seems that even with tourist traffic, we were prioritized and could move smoothly. The guide was a young girl, but she was very considerate of everyone and showed a great personality, working hard. This was also very soothing.

今回、一人旅で参加しました。
修学旅行以来の京都。土地勘の全く無い私にとって京都の主要観光地を、効率よく廻れてとても満喫出来ました。公共の乗り物より観光バスは、乗り心地と眺めが全然違いサイコーでした！観光地渋滞も、優先されてスムーズに行けるようです。
ガイドさんも、若い女の子でしたが、みんなに気配りが出来ていて、一生懸命に頑張っている、とても良いお人柄がにじみ出ていました。これも、癒されました。

I have participated in this tour several times, and I think it’s very worthwhile because it’s efficient and inexpensive. Since Sefa Utaki is on a mountain path, I recommend wearing comfortable shoes instead of sandals. Women especially need to be careful, as it can be quite difficult if it rains. At the Valley of Gangala, the guide provided detailed explanations, and it was really fun. Although it rained like a typhoon, the rain made the trees and leaves vibrant and beautiful. Since Okinawa has sudden rain showers, I think it’s better to prepare for the possibility of rain. I want to go again.

こちらのツアーには何度か参加していますが、効率も良く安いので大変お得だと思います。斎場御嶽は山道なので、サンダル等ではなく歩きやすい靴で行くのが良いと思います。特に女性は気をつけないと雨が降ったら大変です。ガンガラーの谷はガイドさんが詳しく説明してくれて、すごく楽しかったです。台風みたいな雨だったのですが、雨のおかげで木や葉っぱが生き生きしてきれいでした。沖縄はスコールがあるので、雨が降るかもしれないと準備して行ったほうが良いと思います。また行きたいです。

It was very good! When I signed up, it mentioned that lunch would be a udon set meal, so I was expecting that, but it turned out to be tofu dishes. The restaurant was spacious, and I was able to enjoy my meal slowly and comfortably, so I'm glad I opted for the lunch option. However, I'm not a big fan of tofu, and the dishes served were mostly tofu, which became a bit monotonous (；▽；). But I was able to enjoy a meal that was characteristic of Kyoto, and this also became a memorable experience. Thank you very much! (^^)

とても良かったです！
申し込む際に、昼食はうどん定食と記載があったのでそのつもりだったが実際は豆腐料理だった。お店は広くてゆっくり、ゆったりと食事ができたので昼食付きにしておいてよかったと思った。しかし豆腐がそんなに好きではないし、出された料理が豆腐ばかりで飽きてしまった(；▽；)でも京都らしい食事が出来、これも思い出になりました。ありがとうございました(^^)

This time, my parents were traveling to Osaka, so I searched for a bus tour and signed up for this lunch plan. When I heard the story, they went to Kiyomizu Temple to make it in time for the departure, but there was no bus. They hurriedly called the office and were told that the bus was heading to Kinkaku-ji, so they had to take a taxi. When I asked other guests, they said that the bus left without confirming attendance 10 or 15 minutes before the meeting time.

I was really disappointed to hear that, especially since we were looking forward to it.

For future reference, it would be better to confirm attendance. This was the first time something like this happened, and it was especially frustrating since they weren't late. I can imagine they felt anxious without the bus.

今回、両親が大阪旅行するということで、バスツアーを捜してこちらの昼食つきプランを申し込みました。話を聞いたところ、清水寺で出発時間に間に合うように行ったのにバスがなかった、とあわてて事務所に電話すると金閣寺に向かってるから追いかけてくれ、と両親はタクシーを拾い向かったと云いました。ほかの客に聞いたところ、集合時間の１０分か１５分前に点呼確認もしないで出発したといいました。
せっかく楽しみにしてこちらもそんなことになったのかと思ったら大変だったし私も残念でした。

今後のためにも点呼はした方がいいです。そんなこと初めてです。それも時間に遅れていったわけではないのに。バスがなくて不安だったと思います。

I thoroughly enjoyed places like the Chinese Grave, Kabira Bay, and the native palm forest without getting bored. At Kabira Bay, those who wished could ride a glass-bottom boat to see the coral reefs and beautiful fish. What impressed me the most was when our guide took out a sanshin and sang Okinawan folk songs during the scenic drive near the last dam. I was moved as he sang three songs.

唐人墓、川平湾、ヤシの木原生林など、飽きることなく楽しめました。
川平湾では希望者はグラスボートにのってサンゴ礁やきれいな魚をみれて楽しめました。
私が一番印象に残り良かったと思ったのは、ガイドさんが最後のダムの車窓観光あたりから三線を持ち、沖縄民謡を歌って下さったことです。３曲も歌って下さり感動しました。

I used the service on September 8. I was the only woman… the rest were mostly families or friends, and almost all were from overseas. I felt really lonely, but the tour guide talked to me, so I didn’t feel too lonely. I was very satisfied because we could visit all the must-see spots in Kyoto in one go. The tour itself involves taking a bus to the destination, and then everyone can explore freely, as long as they return by the bus departure time, so I think it's perfect for those who don’t want to travel in large groups. It was hot, and I got a bit exhausted, but I had a very fulfilling time. The tour guide also gave helpful advice on how to visit efficiently and see great places. If I go to Kyoto again, I would like to use this service. Next time, I’ll bring someone with me!

9月8日に利用しました。女1人は私だけ…あとは家族連れか友達とかほぼ海外の方で占めていました。すっごく心細かったのですが添乗員さんが話しかけて下さってあまり寂しい思いはしませんでした。京都と言えば！の所を一気に周れるので大満足でした。ツアー自体は目的地までバスで行って、あとは各々好きに行動してバスの出発時刻までには戻ってきて下さいというシステムなので大人数で行動するのが嫌だという方にもぴったりだと思います。暑さもあり、バテてしまいましたがとても充実した時間を過ごす事ができました。添乗員さんもこういう風に行くと効率がよくいい場所見れますよとアドバイス下さったので助かりました。また京都行くことあれば利用したいです。今度は誰かを連れて行きます笑

I had a great time.
The meeting point was Palette Kumoji near the prefectural office.
Since it's also a waiting area for other sightseeing buses, it was somewhat crowded.
However, the tour guide efficiently checked the reservation list and guided us to the bus.
The bus was a large sightseeing bus that could accommodate 50 to 60 people.
Since I had small children with me, we reserved two seats, but there was enough space, and we were allowed to move to any available seats, which was very appreciated.
We visited various sightseeing spots and headed to our main destination, the Churaumi Aquarium.
We spent a short 150 minutes enjoying a meal while watching the large tank and thoroughly enjoyed the dolphin show before heading back.
While it had elements of a whirlwind tour, I think it's perfect for those who want to hit the major tourist spots.
The tour guide's stories were interesting, covering topics from Okinawa's base issues to road conditions; it might not resonate with everyone, but I found it fascinating.
Also, since there is quite a bit of walking at the aquarium, Manzamo, and Ryukyu Village, a stroller is essential.
Thank you very much.

とても楽しませてもらいました。
集合は県庁近くのパレット久茂地。
他の観光バスの待ち合わせエリアでもあるので、多少混雑。
ですが、添乗員さんがテキパキと予約表を確認してバスへ案内してくれました。
バスは50～60名乗れる大型の観光バス。
小さな子連れだったので席は2名分の確保でしたが、余裕があるので、空いている席に移動してもよいとのことで、とてもありがたかったです。各観光地を周り、最大の目的地の美ら海水族館へ。
150分と決して長くない時間を使って、大水槽を見ながら食事をし、イルカショーを堪能して帰ってきました。
弾丸ツアー的な要素ありますが、王道観光地を押さえておきたい人にはぴったりなツアーだと思います。添乗員さんのお話もおもしろく、沖縄の基地問題から道路事情まで、興味ない人には響かないかもしれませんが笑、私は興味深く聞いてました。
あと水族館や万座毛、琉球村は結構歩くので、ベビーカーは必須です。
ありがとうございました。

I couldn't relax because of the heavy rain... The café I wanted to visit was also closed... I was really down about this. I want to try again on a sunny day. I did manage to find some star sand, though.

大雨でゆっくりできず、、、。
行きたかったカフェも定休日、、、。
流石にこれは落ち込みました。
またリベンジで晴天の日に行きたいです。
星の砂は発見できました。
