All Reviews for Bus Tours

I was able to efficiently visit three islands and had a wonderful time. The water buffalo cart was very cute and impressive, and the sea viewed from the glass-bottom boat was beautiful.

効率よく3島めぐりができ、楽しい時間を過ごさせていただきました。
水牛車がとても可愛くて印象的で、グラスボートから覗く海は綺麗でした。

For 3200 yen, it was a tour that felt cheap. The story from the beautiful guide, who claims to resemble Rosanne, was so enjoyable that even though I left home at 5 AM and was sleepy, I was wide awake because the stories were interesting. Once we entered the forest, she caught and showed us a rare lizard, and even tried to catch a snake, which was amusing. She was a bright and beautiful guide. By the way, she mentioned that she is a classmate of the mayor of Ishigaki.

3200円では、安いと思えたツアーでした。自称ロザンヌ似のキレイなガイドさんのお話が楽し過ぎて朝5時に家を出て参加した、眠たい私でしたが、話が おもしろいので、目が覚めました。山林にはいると、珍しいトカゲを捕まえて見せてくださったり、蛇まで、つかもうと笑っ
明るい美人のガイドさんでした。ちなみに、石垣市長と同級生だそうです。

It was cloudy and rainy during the rainy season, but it was a great experience to visit famous tourist spots. The delicious food and singing on the dinner cruise, along with the night view (including the luxury cruise ship), were wonderful!

曇り、雨の梅雨空でしたが、有名な観光地を巡れて良い体験となりました。
ディナークルージングでの美味しい料理と歌、そして夜景(豪華客船も)が良かった❗️

I applied two days ago.
The next morning, I received an email confirming the arrangements.
On the bus, the guide shared information about Kanazawa and Shirakawa-go while I dozed off, gathering information.
It was a chilly day with rain. During our free time in Shirakawa-go, I warmed up by soaking in a hot spring (it was convenient since it was our lunch spot; the bathing fee was 600 yen and the towel was 150 yen).
I think the time allocation was just right.
In Gokayama, we only visited the Ainokura village, but I was able to stroll quietly through the village.
The guide also provided explanations about other villages from the bus window, allowing us to enjoy the experience without any prior research.

The guided tour picks up at Ikebukuro or Shinjuku station. Our tour guide was Nobu and he was quite wonderful! The bus ran right on time. It wasn't full for the day we chose because it was an overcast day. Mount Fuji peeked out of the clouds for just a moment while we were at the top so we got to see it!! It was awesome!! The tour hits up the Mt Fuji 5th station shop, includes a lunch at a French restaurant (with special accomodations for the vegetarian in our group). You get a $3 souvenir or ice cream voucher too. The cruise on the lake was the best part! If I was making a suggestion, the top of Mt Fuji and the amusement park could be 15 minutes longer and the lake area could be 30 minutes less in exchange. Other than that it was the absolute best and I would recommend to anyone!

It was drizzling, but the rain stopped at the location and the scenery was amazing. The guidance was also very good. I would like to use this service again on another occasion.

小雨でしたが現地では雨が止んで景観が最高でした。案内も非常に良かった。またの機会で利用したいと思います。

The Churaumi Aquarium was enjoyable to explore at a leisurely pace, and we were able to take proper restroom breaks. It was truly a valuable tour. I think it's a tour that can be enjoyed whether you're alone or with a few people.

美ら海水族館もゆっくりと回れたし、トイレ休憩もちゃんと取れたし、本当に価値あるツアーでした。一人でも数人でも楽しめるツアーだと思います。

The weather was nice, so I was able to fully enjoy it. The bus guide's stories were also fun, so I didn't get bored on the bus. Since it was my first trip to Okinawa, I really enjoyed this packed tour. Next time I go, I think I would like to rent a car and take my time visiting the places I liked.

お天気が良かったので満喫できました
バスガイドさんのお話も楽しくバスの中も退屈せずに済みました
沖縄旅行が初めてだったので、この盛りだくさんのツアーはとても楽しめました
次に行く時は気に入った場所にレンタカーを借りてゆっくり行きたいかなぁと思います

This was my first solo trip to Yakushima, so I decided to join a bus tour to see everything. On the day of the tour, there were six participants in a large taxi. The guide was efficient and adapted to the weather, listening to our requests and flexibly guiding us to various sightseeing spots. The lunch, including fried flying fish, was delicious. I was moved by the majestic waterfalls, the cute deer and monkeys, and the ancient cedar trees, and I was able to take many photos. The explanations were enjoyable and easy to understand, and the driving was careful, making it a perfect day.

初めての屋久島一人旅ですので全体を見ようと、バスツアーにしました。
当日は大型タクシーで全体で6名参加。
効率的かつ天候に応じた対応と、要望を聞かれ臨機応変に観光地を案内していただきました。
ランチもトビウオの唐揚げ等美味しかったです。
雄大な滝や、かわいい鹿や猿、紀元杉に感動し、何枚も写真を写して下さいました。
楽しく分かりやすい説明と、運転も慎重して頂き最高の１日になりました。

We got lucky; the weather was nice! We were able to see and admire the majestically beautiful Mt. Fuji. Our very energetic tour guide, Blair, has provided the entertainment we needed while on the bus. Hence, our trip has become more fun and memorable. We are sure to revisit!!

I participated with a friend. We chose to bike around Taketomi Island! We were able to explore very efficiently from morning until evening! If you're wondering which island tour to join from Ishigaki, I definitely recommend this tour!

Biking on Taketomi Island might be tough during the humid rainy season, haha. A bus might be better. The roads on Taketomi Island have a lot of sand, making it difficult to pedal and quite challenging.

私は、友達と2人で参加しました。竹富島は自転車を選択しました！！
朝から夕方まですごく効率よく、回れました！石垣でどこの離島ツアーに参加しようか迷ってる人はぜひこのツアーを！おすすめです！！

竹富島の自転車は、梅雨の蒸し暑い時期にはキツイかも？笑バスのほうがいいかもです
自転車も竹富島の道は砂が多く漕ぎづらく大変でした

If you want to efficiently explore the central and southern parts of Okinawa Main Island, this tour is very good. I chose a plan that included dinner and dancing because I wanted to learn as much about Okinawa as possible. It was quite a good deal!

沖縄本島の中部と南部を効率よく回りたいのならば、このツアーはとても良いです。
私は出来る限り沢山の沖縄を知りたかったので、夕食と踊りがつくプランにしました。なかなかお得でした！

I think this price is cheap for a round trip ferry from Ishigaki Port to Taketomi Island and a water buffalo cart ride! I was able to fully enjoy Taketomi Island by riding the water buffalo and renting a bicycle! The water buffalo was so cute!

水牛車と、石垣港から竹富島までの往復フェリーでこの価格は安いと思います！
水牛車に乗ったり、レンタサイクルをしたり、竹富島を満喫できました！
水牛が可愛いかったです！

It is highly recommended this tour of Fuji.

Mt. Fuji Fifth Station – It was cold with heavy rain in the trip to Mount Fuji. The tour guide was nice and caring. She was a Japanese with good spoken in English.

Lunch at Fuji-Q Highland was very great and the food was delicious. The environment in the restaurant in Fuji-Q Highland was nice and grand.

Cruise on Lake Kawaguchi & Fuji Panoramic Ropeway 
- We spent enough time in a boat at Lake Kawaguchi and Fuji Panoramic Ropeway. I enjoyed the trip and eating delicious soft serve ice cream.

Again, it was a Great tour! it was very convenient. 
I really enjoy the trip in Mt.Fuji 5th Station and Lake Kawaguchi Panoramic Tour and I will recommend to my friends to join this tour.

My husband, our two children, and I participated in a tour. Our main goal was to visit the aquarium, so we looked for a tour that would allow us to leave late and return early.

The aquarium was larger than I expected, and I wanted to see other facilities as well, but it felt like there wasn't enough time. However, for me, who was focused on seeing the whale sharks, it was great to be able to watch them at a leisurely pace. At Kouri Island, I recommend bringing a change of clothes. My kids, one in elementary school and the other in preschool, ran straight into the beautiful sea and ended up soaking their pants (laughs).

Also, the guide introduced us to various Okinawan songs and dialects, which was fun. Although it wasn't us, I appreciated how the guide quickly made phone calls and changes for those who were stuck in traffic on the way back and were worried about missing their dinner reservations.

Next time, I definitely want to join a different tour! ♪

主人と私、子ども二人で参加。水族館に行くのが目的で、遅く出発して早めに帰ってこれるツアーをさがして申込ました。
水族館は、思ったよりも広く水族館の他の施設も見たかったけど、時間がたりない感じでした。でも、ジンベイザメを目的にしていた私にとっては、ゆっくりジンベイザメを見れてよかったです。古宇利では、着替えをもっていくことをお勧めします。うちの子は小学生と年中ですが、きれいな海に一目散に走っていってパンツまで濡れてしまいました(笑)
あと、ガイドさんが沖縄の唄や方言をいろいろ紹介してくれて楽しかったです。
私たちではなかったですが、帰りが事故渋滞で夕食の予約に間に合わない人の為に、すばやく電話や変更などをしていた姿がよかったです。
次回は、また違うツアーに是非参加したいです♪

It was nice to hear the sanshin. The bus from Taketomi Island to the base took a while to depart, and it seemed we were waiting for another boat 15 minutes later, so it was a bit cramped.

三線も聞けてよかった。
竹富島からベースへ行くバスがなかなか出発せず、１５分後の別の船を待っての出発らしく、詰め込み感は否めないが。

The weather had been bad the day before, and I was worried whether the tour would take place, but it went ahead without any issues, and I was able to experience a wonderful day filled with mangroves, a water buffalo cart ride, and cycling.

I thought the tour might be hectic due to the relatively packed schedule, but it was quite the opposite. During the water buffalo cart ride and cycling, I was able to enjoy the slow pace of the island, which made for a happy time.

Also, thank you for accommodating the sudden addition of participants on the day. I really appreciated it.

前日から天気も悪く、当日もツアーが開催されるのか不安でしたが、無事開催されて、マングローブ・水牛車・サイクリングと充実した素晴らしい１日が体験できました。

ツアーの内容が比較的多く、せわしない１日なのかなと思ったのですが特にそんなことはなく、その思いとは反対に水牛車とサイクリングでは、島のゆっくりした時間を過ごすことができて、幸せな時間でした。

また、当日の急な参加者追加にも快く対応頂きありがとうございました。とてもありがたかったです。

Okinawa might be best explored by rental car. However, I made a reservation for my parents who were hesitant about driving in an unfamiliar place. Our accommodation was in Naha City, but they found it appealing that they could visit all the places they wanted in one day. They were worried that their time at the aquarium would be short, but that wasn't the case; they were able to relax and enjoy watching the fish. They were also happy that the entrance fee and meals were included, which helped keep additional expenses down. This option might be perfect for those who want to be active but feel physically uncertain about doing it on their own.

沖縄はレンタカーで周るのがいいかもしれません。
ただ、慣れないところを運転するのは嫌だという両親のために予約しました。
宿泊が那覇市内でしたが、１日で行きたいところを周れるのが魅力だったとのこと。水族館での時間が短いかと心配していましたが、そんなことはなく、のんびり魚をみることができて癒されたそうです。入場料や食事も込みで、追加の出費も抑えられたと喜んでいました。アクティブに動きたいけど、自分たちだけでは体力的に不安な方にはぴったりなのかもしれません。

I highly recommended this tour if you want to go to Mount Fuji. The bus was cleaned and the tour guide gave tour description for every accurately. Lunch at Fuji Q highland park was delicious and served very well. Although it was raining all day during the trip but we can enjoy it. We have enough time for cursing at Kawaguchiko lake and enjoy fantastic view during the ropeways. My children loves the free ice cream voucher.
I gave 5 stars for veltra and thank you for given us a memorable and wonderful journey in Mount Fuji.

Even though it was hard to find the meeting place since it was underground, we were pleased to know that the rest of the group were only boarding the bus. We were lucky that we were able to see the mountain since we were told that it was raining up until the day before our tour. The lunch was good and substantial, and kind of fancy because of the ambiance. The cruise was incredible since we got to see the entire mountain from the lake as well as the view from the top of the cable car ride. This was such a great experience even our parents were impressed! I definitely recommend this tour!

This was my second time on the three-island tour. Since my companion was a first-timer, we signed up during the rainy season, but the weather was nice, and we had a great experience.

However, I have one regret.

I wish I had checked the tide schedule before booking the tour... I wanted to see the Sakishima Suo no Ki again.

２度目の３島巡りでした。同行者が初めてだったので申し込み梅雨の時期でしたがお天気も良く楽しく体験できました。

ただひとつ後悔

行く前に潮の満ち引きを調べてツアーを申し込めばよかった‥
最後のサキシマスオウノキをまた見たかったです。

At first, we were hesitant to book this tour because the price was too good to be true, but we took a chance and wanted to experience it ourselves. We had a difficult time finding the meeting place and was late for a couple of minutes, but Ms. Terry, our guide, waited for us. The bus ride took 2 hours from Shinjuku to the Mt. Fuji 5th station. We were greeted with a picturesque view of the mountain as well as a lovely 40 minute tour with a pleasantly cold weather. Don't forget to try the mountain-shaped melon bread there! We had a good three course lunch at the Fuji Q Highland restaurant. It's also a great photo spot where you could see more of the mountain. We then headed to the Lake Kawaguchi boat cruise where you could have a closer look at the mountain as well as a cable car ride at Hakone rope way. As you exchange the ticket for the cable car, you also get a free pen as a souvenir. The tanuki dango with soy and matcha drink there is really good. There was also a good ice cream shop where you could choose from four flavors; peach, vanilla, lavender and grape. All in all, with the tour, food and the bus ride going back to the meeting point, the price for this full day tour is such a steal. I highly recommend this tour for those of you who want to maximize their budget. The guide was really good at explaining and was very accomodating!

Highly recommend this particular tour of Fuji. Tour description is very accurate, every activity was completed in time. Tour started at 5th station, ok time was allowed there. Then lunch was in Fiji-Q park, lunch place was nice, French restaurant with full course menu. Then plenty of time was given for the scenic rope-way with best views of Fuji and a boat at Kawaguchiko lake. All tickets and lunch included in tour price; they even gave a voucher for an ice cream or small souvenir at lake Kawaguchiko. Would absolutely do it again.

Highly recommend this particular tour of Fuji. It is really hard to get to Fuji using public transportation outside of climbing season, so bus tour is great option. Tour description is very accurate, every activity was completed in time. Tour started at 5th station, ok time was allowed there. Then lunch was in Fiji-Q park, lunch place was surprisingly nice, French restaurant with full course menu. Then plenty of time was given for the scenic rope-way with best views of Fuji and a boat at Kawaguchiko lake. All tickets and lunch included in tour price; they even gave a voucher for an ice cream or small souvenir at lake Kawaguchiko. We are family of 4, and everyone highly enjoyed overall experience in this tour. We would absolutely do it again. Thank you, VELTRA, well done!

This was my first visit to Shodoshima. I was unsure whether to rent a car to explore the history, shrines, and traditional culture, but I learned about this island tour bus and decided to use it.

I was able to efficiently visit places like Choshikei Monkey Park, Ohnote Hime Shrine, Kankakei, Azuki Island Shrine, Shodoshima Sacred Site No. 20, Butsuga Falls, Takesan Soy Sauce, the Village of Soy Sauce, the Twenty-Four Eyes Film Village, Doten Shrine, the Tsuboi Sakae Memorial Museum, Olive Park, and Kojin Shrine all in one day, making for a truly fulfilling sightseeing experience.

In addition to these sites, the bus guide kindly provided information about Shodoshima's culture and scenery from the bus window, but I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't see Angel Road and the landscape of Nakayama's terraced rice fields, which also appear in "The Eighth Day's Cicada." The bus guide was very kind, and the recitation of "Twenty-Four Eyes" was wonderful.

小豆島を訪れるのは今回が初めてでした。歴史・神社・伝統文化を知るためレンタカーを借りて回るかどうか迷っていたところ、この島めぐり観光バスツアーの存在を知り利用させて頂きました。
銚子渓お猿の国・大野手姫神社、寒霞渓・あずき島神社、小豆島霊場二十番 仏ヶ滝、タケサン醤油・醤の郷、二十四の瞳映画村・同天満宮・壺井栄記念館、オリーブ公園・荒神社を１日で効率的に回ることができ、本当に充実した観光となり利用して良かったです。
これら以外にもバスガイドさんが車窓から小豆島の文化や街並みを案内して下さいましたが、エンジェルロードと、「八日目の蝉」にも出てくる中山の棚田 千枚田の風景を見れなかったのは少し残念でした。
バスガイドさんにもとても親切にしていただき、「二十四の瞳」の暗誦朗読も素晴らしかったです。

We were blessed with beautiful weather and were thrilled by the magnificent scenery. The cheese fondue and hamburger lunch were delicious and absolutely the best!

晴天にも恵まれて、壮大な景色に感激♡
チーズフォンデュとハンバーグのランチも美味しくて最高でした♡

I visited Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya, and it included a pretty delicious lunch, along with tickets for the Usuzan Ropeway. The time allocation was also perfect. As an option, I also enjoyed a boat ride on Lake Shikotsu and a soak in the hot springs at Lake Toya.

I highly recommend this.

I had a thoroughly fulfilling sightseeing experience.

支笏湖と洞爺湖を観光して、
結構おいしい昼食も付いていて、

洞爺湖温泉の入浴もしました。

いやいや、これはお勧めでしょう。

たっぷりと充実した観光が出来ました。

At the Valley of Gangala, it was a walk in the humid heat, which made me feel uncomfortable. Was the explanation just following the manual? They provided detailed explanations, but my questions went unanswered. Since there are various types of tourists, it must be difficult to satisfy all customers. However, personally, I don't want to participate in such a tour again. The Sefa Utaki and the valley were good, though.

ガンガラーの谷では、蒸し暑い中での散策でしたので 私自身も不快な気分でした。 マニュアル通りの説明なのか？ 細々した所まで、説明してましたけど 私の、質問には答えて貰え無いままでした。 色々な観光客が要るのですから、全ての客に満足して貰うのは 難しいでしょうね。
しかし、私個人は もう こんなツアーには参加したく無いです。 斎場御獄、谷は、良かったです。

We loved the trip to Mount Fuji, it was very cold and rainy. We only had about 30 min to look around, would have loved more time! The included lunch was excellent! The boat ride was nice with great views. We didn't get to do the ropeway due to wind but was refunded the cost which was great customer service. The free ice cream was a bonus that I forgot about! Overall I would take the trip again if I ever make it back to Tokyo!

I was able to efficiently visit many places, and the duration of the stay was just right. I think this price is a great deal, including the admission and transportation fees.

効率良くたくさんの場所を巡れ、滞在時間も丁度良かったです。
見学料金、乗車料金含めてこの料金はお得だと思います。
