All Reviews for Bus Tours

yes the weather was bad and the traffic also, however it felt like trying to cram too much into the day especially when doing two pick ups and drop offs an hour apart

The driver's skills were excellent, making for a reassuring tour. And above all, the guide was amazing! They were fluent in Japanese and Chinese, and the explanations were easy to understand. It was the best bus tour!

運転手さんの運転さばきが上手く、安心したツアーでした。
そして、なんと言ってもガイドさんが最高でした👍
日本語、中国語が堪能で、説明は分かりやすくて、最高のバスツアーでした☺️

There were about three groups of Japanese participants and fifteen groups of foreigners. Thanks to everyone sticking to the schedule, the tour proceeded mostly as planned, even though our return was slightly delayed due to traffic.

The guide, Kim, mentioned that he was not very familiar with Japanese, but he provided simple explanations about the tourist spots and the flow of the tour without any issues. I think it was a great tour that allowed us to efficiently visit various attractions.

When I come to Okinawa again, I will try a different course. Thank you very much.

参加者は日本人3組と外国の方15組ほど。
皆さん時間を守って行動していたおかげで、渋滞で多少帰着が遅れたものの、おおむね予定通りツアーが進みました。

ガイドのキムさんは日本語が不慣れとおっしゃっていましたが、何の問題もなく観光地の簡単な説明や流れの説明などされていました。
効率よく色々な名所に行けて、良いツアーだったと思います。

また沖縄に来た際は、別のコースに参加してみます。
ありがとうございました。

I felt that guests from more than three countries participated, and they kindly guided us in Japanese, Chinese, and English. The tour guide was from Taiwan, bright and friendly with a wonderful smile! I could feel their thoughtful attention, and they were very kind. They communicated with all of us participating in the tour, including us, with smiles, and I believe everyone was able to relax and enjoy themselves. I am truly grateful for their interesting and enthusiastic explanations.

Our stay at Asahiyama Zoo was about an hour and a half, which might feel a bit short for those who want to take their time, but we were able to see almost all the popular animals, except for those that were resting! Despite the unfortunate weather, we were able to see both the Blue Pond and Shirahige Falls well. The wonderful memories were thanks to the tour guide! I was very happy to have such a lovely encounter, a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thank you very much to the tour guide and the driver!

体感では三か国以上のお客さんが参加していて、日本語・中国語・英語の三か国語で丁寧に案内してくださいました。
添乗員さんは台湾の方で、明るく気さくで笑顔がとても素敵！細やかな気配りも感じられ、とても優しい方でした。
私たちを含め、ツアーに参加しているみなさんと笑顔でコミュニケーションを取っていて、皆さん安心して楽しく過ごせたのではと思います。
また、面白く楽しく、一生懸命説明してくださって本当に感謝です。

旭山動物園の滞在は約1時間半で、じっくり見たい方には少し短く感じるかもしれませんが、人気の動物をはじめ、お休み中の動物以外はほとんど見ることができました！
あいにくの天気でしたが、青い池も白ひげの滝もよく見ることができました。
良い思い出になったのは添乗員さんのおかげです！
一期一会の素敵な出会いに恵まれ、とても嬉しかったです。
添乗員さん、運転手さん、本当にありがとうございました！

This was my first time participating in a bus tour alone. I knew that there would be many Chinese participants on this overseas tour, but there were delays due to some people arriving late or not showing up at all, which caused our departure to be quite late. However, since there were few Japanese participants (only two of us that day), the guide was attentive and kindly took photos at sightseeing spots and made sure to consider our seating arrangements.

I don't mind traveling alone, so I enjoyed the free time, and I am grateful to the driver for taking us to some truly wonderful tourist attractions despite the long drive. While announcements were primarily in Chinese and Korean, the guide also provided explanations in Japanese, so there were no inconveniences.

I brought my own lunch, but if I hadn't, the guide offered advice on where to buy food along the way, and we could also purchase items at cafes at the sightseeing spots within the time limit (eating was mostly done on the bus or while walking). The tourist sites were grand and rich in nature, but there were many stairs and slopes, and even though we traveled by bus, I ended up walking about 15,000 steps! It might require some stamina!

1人でのバスツアー参加自体初めてでした。
海外の方向けのツアーで、中国人が多いのは承知で行きましたがやはり遅刻されてきたり来なかったりでかなり出発は遅れました。
ただ日本人が少なかった(当日は2人でした)分、ガイドの方も気にかけてくださり観光名所でも写真を撮ってくださったり、席の配慮など、優しく声をかけてくださいました。
1人行動は嫌いじゃないので自由時間は楽しめましたし、とても素敵な観光名所に連れてってくださったのでロングドライブを頑張ってくださった運転手の方にも感謝しています。
中国語、韓国語のアナウンスが優先になりますが、ちゃんと日本語でも観光地の説明をしてくださったので不便なかったです。
昼食は持参しましたが、なければ道中のどこで買えばいいなどアドバイスもしてくださいますし、観光地のカフェも時間内なら購入できました。(食べるのはバスの中か歩きながらという感じでした)
観光地は壮大で自然豊かな場所ばかりなのでやはり階段、坂が多くバス移動なのに15000歩くらいは歩いてました。笑　体力は必要かもしれません！

I was unable to make it to the meeting time due to a train delay. I was considering canceling and was almost ready to give up. However, thanks to the guide's quick thinking, I was able to join at Fushimi Inari and participate in the entire itinerary without any issues. I can only express my gratitude. The guide was easy to understand, and each part of the tour was impressive.

電車遅延で　集合時間に間に合いませんでした。キャンセルも視野に入っていて、半ば、諦めかけておりました。ですが…　ガイドさんの機転で　伏見稲荷から合流し、無事　全日程参加することが出来ました。　感謝しかありません。
ガイドも分かりやすく、各々 見応えがありました。

The bear, which has become a hot topic as a villain, showed a cute side by waving its hand and begging for food at the Showa Shinzan Bear Ranch. I hope they can coexist peacefully with humans.

今話題となって悪役の熊、昭和新山熊牧場の熊は手を振ったり、餌をおねだりしたり可愛い一面を見る事ができました、仲良く人間と共存できるようになればいいのですが。

I was able to visit spots that are quite difficult to go to individually, and I had a great time. In particular, Shirakawa-go had beautiful scenery, and I would like to go again.

中々、個人では行きにくいスポットに行くことができ、とても楽しかったです。
特に、白川郷は風景もよく、また行きたいと思いました。

This time, I participated with a friend from Miyagi. We were able to visit famous tourist spots within a limited time. However, there were a lot of people everywhere, but the tour's yellow flag stood out, so we didn't get lost. We walked quite a distance, and by the time we reached Arashiyama, my legs were exhausted, but I was glad to see the wonderful sights of Kyoto.

Our tour guide, Maria, explained everything clearly in both English and Japanese. She was very friendly and considerate of each participant, which was great. Maria is the best!!

I forgot the driver's name, but thank you for your safe driving. It was a fun trip to Kyoto. If there’s another opportunity, I would appreciate it again.

今回は宮城から友人と2人で参加させていただきました。
有名な観光地を限られた時間で行く事ができました。ただ、どこに行っても人がたくさんでしたが、ツアーの黄色い旗が目立って迷子にならずに済みました。結構な距離を歩いて、嵐山に行った時には足がくたくたでしたが、京都の素晴らしい観光地をみる事ができて良かったです。
添乗員のマリアさん、英語と日本語で分かりやすく説明してくれました。
親しみやすい方で参加者ひとりひとりを気遣ってくれて良かったです。
マリアさん最高！！
運転手の方、名前忘れちゃいましたが、
安全運転ありがとうございます。
楽しい京都旅となりました。
また機会がありましたら宜しくお願いします。

I joined the tour to visit the Churaumi Aquarium and American Village! I was very satisfied as I enjoyed the beautiful views of the beach and Manzamo, and was able to buy delicious sweets at the Okashi Goten! The meeting place was easy to find, as there was a guide standing there, which made me feel very secure. When I was thinking about how to get to Sam's, they kindly explained the way to me. I'm filled with gratitude for the kind staff who even took photos for us. Thank you very much! In the evening, I added a steak at Sam's. It was incredibly delicious and the best!

美ら海水族館とアメリカンビレッジ目当てでツアーに参加しました！
ビーチや万座毛の美しい景色を楽しんだり、御菓子御殿で美味しいお菓子を買うことができて、大満足です！
集合場所も案内の方が立っていてくださったのでとても分かりやすく、安心でした。
サムズへの移動方法を考えていたところ、丁寧に行き方も教えていただきました(^^)
写真も撮っていただくなど、優しいスタッフさんに感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです。ありがとうございました！
夜はサムズのステーキを追加しました。とっても美味しくて最高でした！

Although we couldn't see the mangroves due to the rain, the water buffalo experience was great. I want to go again when it's sunny!

雨でマングローブは見れずでしたが
水牛体験もできとても良かったです
次は晴れているときに行きたい！！

It was a bus tour, so I was able to visit multiple spots without worrying about travel time. The bus ride was really comfortable. Our guide, Maria, was always attentive to my mother's condition as she uses a cane. Thank you very much.

バスツアーでしたので、移動時間を気にせずに行きたかったスポットを複数まわることができました。バスの移動は本当に楽でした。ガイドのマリアさんが杖をついている母の足の状態を常に気を配って下さいました。ありがとうございました。

The bus tour goes by in a flash at each landmark, and today was no different. The price is reasonable, but since we drove from Kanagawa, we could enjoy sightseeing without worrying about parking, which is definitely a plus of the bus tour. If you have the guide in the photo, there's a 120% guarantee you won't go wrong! I hope this is helpful.

バスツアーは、各名所の時間あっと言う間ですが、今日も同じになりました^_^
金額はそれなりですが、神奈川から車で来たので中日は駐車場を気にせず、観光が出来るのは、やっぱり、バスツアーです。
写真のガイドさんになったら１２０%間違えなしです！
参考になったら幸いです。

It was a mangrove tour at Nakama River in heavy rain. The captain prioritized safety while navigating, but due to poor visibility from the heavy rain, I thought it might have been better to suspend the trip. The water buffalo cart was a lot of fun. At Yufu Island, I felt that even though there were fewer lunch options, the quality could be improved a bit.

On Taketomi Island, we had free time! Renting a bicycle is a must. The rain stopped, and we were able to enjoy pleasant cycling and sightseeing. Overall, I’m glad I participated!

大雨の中の仲間川マングローブツアーでした。
船長さんは安全第一を心がけて運転していましたが大雨による視界の悪さでしたので運休してもよいかと思いました。水牛車はとても楽しかったでさ。由布島でもランチは品数少なしてでももう少しクオリティあげてほしいと思いました。
竹富島ではフリータイム！自転車レンタルは必須です。雨も上がり心地よいサイクリングと観光ができました。総合的に参加してよかったです！

The weather was my biggest concern, but it was nice from departure to arrival, and the scenery was very beautiful. The lunch was also luxurious and delicious. It was a girls' outing with three elderly ladies (laughs), but we had quite a bit of free time and it wasn't too busy, which was nice. The bus guide was kind, and the driver felt like a veteran with safe driving. The bus was also easy to spot. This was my first bus trip in Sapporo, and it became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much.

お天気が1番心配されましたが、出発から到着まで良いお天気で景色も大変綺麗でした。
お昼も豪華で美味しく頂きました。高齢者（笑）3人、女子会でしたが割と時間も自由で忙しくなかったのも良かったです。バスガイドさんも親切でした、運転手さんも安全運転でベテランの感じがしました。バスも目立ってて探しやすかったです。
札幌でのバス旅は初めてでしたが楽しい思い出になりました。有難うございました。

It was forecasted to rain, but it cleared up and the tour went smoothly without any issues. The boat ride on the way there was quite bumpy, but no one got seasick. Since it was high tide when we visited the mangroves, I would like to see the low tide state as well. The bus driver to the water buffalo riding spot on Iriomote Island was very entertaining. Bicycles are a must on Taketomi Island. Although it's not a very large island, I thought it would be challenging to cycle around it. Lunch was served buffet-style, and the taste was fairly good.

雨予報でしたが無事に晴れてツアーも問題なく実施できました。
行きの船はかなり揺れましたが船酔いしている人はいませんでした。
マングローブは行ったときは満潮だったため干潮の状態も見てみたいと思いました。
西表島での水牛乗り場までのバスの運転手さんがとても面白かったです。
竹富島は自転車必須です。あまり広くない島とはいえ、自転車で1周は大変だと思いました。
お昼ご飯はバイキング形式で、味はまあまあおいしかったです。

It was very good to visit the main tourist spots with a guide, allowing us to make effective use of our limited time. The lunch menu was also satisfying.

主な観光地を、ガイドさんについてもらって、限られた時間で有効的に回れて、非常に良かった。昼食も満足できるメニューだった。

We were not informed that we could enter Pineapple Park and only looked at the souvenir corner before leaving. The admission fee of 1,500 yen was too high, so we didn't go in. I was very disappointed to learn later, when you called to let us know we could enter, that we had missed the opportunity. I'm also concerned that after I made a complaint, I was told they would check on it, but I still haven't received any contact.

パイナップルパークに入れる事が私たちに伝えられおらず、お土産コーナーだけみて退店した。有料1500円が高くて入らなかったので、後から入れると電話でご連絡頂いた際に知ってとても残念だった。
クレームをしたら、確認しますと言ってからいまだに連絡が無いのがきになる。

Shikotsu Lake had heavy rain, and the highway was closed, so we had to take a detour. We went from Shiraoi to Lake Toya. That route was also affected by the heavy rain, creating a unique experience with splashes of water. Thank you to the driver for your hard work. When we arrived at Lake Toya, the rain had stopped, and we were able to see beautiful scenery.

支笏湖は大雨、高速道路通行止めで迂回。白老の方から洞爺湖へ。そのルートも大雨の影響で水飛沫をあげながら、ちょっと出来ない経験でした。ドライバーさんご苦労様でした。洞爺湖に着くと雨は上がっていてきれいな景色を見ることができました。

The weather was very good. The temperature was surprisingly warm for this season, and there were even hikers in short sleeves. Although it was a bit late for viewing the autumn leaves, the scenery was still beautiful enough. I wish I could have seen some animals like the pika or the Arctic fox. It seems that brown bears have also been spotted, so I would have liked to see one from the cable car if possible.

天気に恵まれて大変良かった。
気温もこの季節とは思えないほど暖かく半袖の登山者もいた。
紅葉見学には、少し遅めだったが景色は充分美しかった。
出来れば、ナキウサギやキタキツネ等が見られれば良かったのにと思います。ヒグマも目撃されている様なので、ロープウェイの中からならば、見れるものならば見たかった。

The water buffalo moving from Iriomote Island to Yufu Island was great. The mangrove cruise with the guide's explanations was also good. The buffet lunch was mediocre.

西表島から由布島へ移動する水牛がよかった。
マングローブの遊覧船はガイドの方の説明もよかった。
ビュッフェの昼食はイマイチでした。

I recommend visiting the three islands of Iriomote, Yufu, and Takeshima as it's more efficient than exploring them individually. Being swayed in a water buffalo cart while listening to the guide's sanshin performance of Okinawan songs, surrounded by the blue sea and the clear blue ocean, was a precious experience that allowed me to forget my daily life and be healed by nature.

西表、由布、竹島３島巡り、個人で巡るより、効率的に巡る事ができるのでお勧めです。水牛車に揺られ、ガイドさんの三線演奏での沖縄の唄、青い海と、透明な青い海、日常を忘れ自然に癒される貴重な体験でした。

I was able to efficiently tour Iriomote Island, the water buffalo cart, and Taketomi Island using the ferry, water buffalo cart, and bus. Although it was early October, it was still quite hot, and it was very good that we could travel by bus on Taketomi Island.

西表島、水牛車、竹富島、と船と水牛車とバスで効率的に観光することが出来ました。
10月初旬ですが、まだまだ暑く、竹富島はバス移動が出来、非常に良かったです。

I was anxious traveling alone as a Japanese person, but my driver and guide, Li Peng, was very kind. Thank you.

日本人一人で、不安でしたが、ドライバー兼ガイドさんの李鵬さんが親切でした。
ありがとうございました。

It was a culturally rich bus tour, and it was reassuring that each individual was guided in their own language. The response from our guide, Lee, who was experienced in providing tours, was wonderful as he ensured we could efficiently sightsee and have lunch. Thanks to him changing the order of the sightseeing spots and running to secure our place, we were able to enter the restaurant for lunch with zero wait time (by the time we finished eating, the wait time was 60 minutes). At Shiraito Falls, we were the first to arrive right when it opened, allowing us to take videos and photos without any people around. Unlike tours in Japan, this one had a smaller group, making it easy to chat with our guide, Lee, and receive little tips, such as how to choose a good Hakata ramen restaurant. The tour ended around 4 to 5 PM, so I participated on the day I was heading back by Shinkansen. I had enough time to return to the hotel to pick up my luggage, eat some mizutaki in the station, and catch the Shinkansen.

国際色豊かなバスツアーでしたが、その国の言語で個々に案内してくれるので安心です。
効率よく観光したりランチがとれるようにと、案内に慣れているガイドのリーさんの対応が素敵です。
観光の順番を変えたり、場所取りに走ってくれたおかげでランチでは待ち時間０分で入店(食べ終わった頃には待ち時間6０分となっていました)
白糸の滝も開園すぐの一番乗りで人がいない状況で動画や写真が撮れました♪
日本のツアーと違い少人数なので、ガイドのリーさんと雑談もしやすく、美味しい博多ラーメンのお店選びのコツなど、プチ情報も貰えます。
ツアーの解散時間が16時～17時くらいと早いので、新幹線で帰路に着く日に参加しました。
ホテルに荷物を取りに戻り、駅中で水炊きも食べて新幹線に乗れるくらい時間に余裕ありました。

I participated alone. As the guide mentioned, the flowers and greenery were withered due to the season, and while the scenery had autumn leaves, I thought it would have been even better to visit during a more favorable season. However, the guide's stories were quite delightful, and the way he spoke was slow, polite, and easy to understand. I had a very enjoyable time participating. I also thought it was quite rare to cover 350 km in a day alone in Hokkaido. It was truly wonderful. Thank you very much.

1名で参加させて頂きました。
ガイドさんもおっしゃっていましたが、時期的に花も緑も枯れて景色は紅葉はしていたもののきっと季節のよい時にくればもっと良かったのだと思いましたけど・・・・ガイドさんのお話もなかなか乙で、お話の仕方もゆっくりと丁寧で聞き取りやすかったです。とても楽しく参加させて頂きました。
走行距離も350kmと１日で1人で北海道をこれだけ回れることはなかなかないと思いました。
大変に良かったです。
ありがとうございました。

The tour was held despite the heavy rain that had been ongoing for about two days prior to my reservation. When we arrived at the cave, we found out that it was flooded, and unfortunately, the visit was canceled (crying). We couldn't relax at either Kabira Bay or the observation deck due to the storm, and we weren't able to take many photos... However, we enjoyed a delicious lunch.

Since we can't control the weather, I will consider this a valuable experience, but it turned out to be a disappointing tour.

予約していた2日ほど前から続いていた大雨の中で催行されました。
楽しみにしていた鍾乳洞に着いたところで、鍾乳洞内が冠水しているとかで、まさかの見学中止に(泣)
川平湾でも展望台でも暴風雨でゆっくりできず、写真もなかなか撮れずじまい…
お昼は美味しくいただきました。

天候はどうすることもできないのでこれも貴重な体験かと思うことにしますが、残念なツアーとなってしまいました。

I was worried about the rain, but it held off, so I was lucky! The water buffalo was obedient and cute ❤ I learned a lot about the island's culture and more!

雨の心配してたけど、何とかもってラッキー！水牛さんが従順で、可愛い❤　島の文化とか色々教えてもらえました！

I participated in a tour with my parents in their 70s. The guide was very attentive, and they kindly took many great photos of the two of us. We were able to see and walk around famous spots in just one day, and they returned home very happy and satisfied.

70代の両親でツアーに参加しました
ガイドさんもとても丁寧で
写真も声をかけて下さって2人の良い写真がたくさんとれてました☺️
有名どころをいち日で見て歩けて
楽しかったと喜んで帰ってきました☺️

Although it was unfortunately rainy, I was able to efficiently tour around in a day. However, if you go to the bear ranch, there won't be time to explore Showa Shinzan. The guide recommended several lunch spots around Lake Toya. I had a great time sightseeing in Sapporo, despite the limited time. However, I noticed that the explanations in Chinese were much longer than those in Japanese and English.

あいにくの雨模様でしたが、一日で、ぐるーっと、駆け足で効率よく観光出来ました。
但し、熊牧場に行くと、昭和新山を見て回る時間は有りません。洞爺湖での、昼食場所を、ガイドさんが何ヶ所かお薦めして下さいます。
時間が無っかった札幌で、一日観光楽しかったです。
ただ、気になったのが、日本語、英語より、ずーっと長く中国語での説明がありました。
