All Reviews for Bus Tours

I recommend this for those who want to see a lot in a limited amount of time. The travel time is long, but our guide kept us entertained, so it wasn't boring.

限られた時間でたくさん周りたい人にオススメです。
移動時間が長いですが、ガイドさんに楽しませていただいたので退屈しませんでした。

The thrill of passing through White Road is amazing. You can't see such breathtaking scenery even in Hokkaido. Also, the guide was great.

ホワイトロードを通過する時のあの恐怖感、最高です。北海道でも、あれだけの絶景は見られません。それと、ガイドさんも良かったですよ。

I felt a bit cheesy having to book a tour to see places on Tokyo that you could just take the train to go see, but it was worth it. Our tour guide was down to earth and knowledable. Learned a lot about Japan while on the tour, as well as enjoyed being stress free with being on a bus rather than navigate the city myself. No one batted an eye when I ordered wine with my lunch, and others even joined. Would recommend. Get the skytree tower included, as it was amazing to see once up there.

Recently, I joined this tour during my trip to Kyoto. The itinerary started with gathering at Kyoto Station and taking a train to Fushimi Inari Taisha. From there, we met up with a group from Osaka and explored Kiyomizu-dera, Kinkaku-ji, and Arashiyama by bus.

The tour included a Japanese guide who spoke English, but generally, participants had the freedom to explore on their own, with the guide introducing recommended spots. I rated this experience as "good" mainly because the overall time allocation was well-balanced. However, the guide's walking speed was quite fast, making it difficult for participants to keep up. Given that these tourist spots are already crowded, I would have appreciated a bit more consideration for the participants. I felt it might be a bit tough for elderly people, those with disabilities, pregnant women, and families with small children.

Overall, the itinerary allowed for a leisurely exploration of Kyoto's attractions, creating great memories, so I was quite satisfied.

先日、京都旅行で本ツアーに申し込み、参加してきました。
旅程は京都駅に集合し電車で伏見稲荷大社へ移動、伏見稲荷大社からは大阪から参加していたグループと合流し、バスで清水寺、金閣寺、嵐山を散策するものでした。
ツアーには英語ができる日本人ガイドさんが同行しますが、基本的には各人自由行動であり、ガイドさんがお勧めのスポットを紹介してくださる内容となっていました。
今回の評価を「よかった」にしたのは全体的に時間配分が程よく良かったのですが、ガイドさんの歩くスピードが速く参加者が付いて行くのに大変そうだったのでこの評価とさせて頂きました。ただでさえ混雑している観光地なので参加者にもう少し気配りして頂けると嬉しかったです。お年寄りや身体が不自由な方、妊婦さん、小さなお子様連れにはちょっと厳しいかなと感じました。
今回の旅程は京都の観光地をゆっくり散策でき、いい思い出となったので十分満足できました。

I participated with a friend in the middle of Silver Week. We were blessed with good weather, making it a pleasant tour, but I think sun protection measures are essential since the sunlight shines directly down. Each seat had a fan for heat relief. We leisurely explored the famous spots in Osaka while listening to the guide's explanations, and it was very enjoyable to see things from a different perspective due to the height. When we passed under the highway, the steel beams on the back side of the road came right up to us, which was quite impressive.

シルバーウィークの中日に、友達と2人で参加しました。
お天気に恵まれて気持ち良いツアーとなりましたが、日射しが直接降り注ぐので、日除け対策は必須だと思います。
各座席には、暑さ対策のうちわが設置されていました。
大阪の名所を、ガイドさんの説明を聞きながらのんびり回りましたが、高さがある分、今までと違った目線で眺められて、とても楽しかったです。
高速道路の下を通る時などは、道路裏側の鉄骨が目の前に迫って来て、かなり迫力がありました。

I wanted to visit Sefa Utaki, so I made a point to stay near the meeting place for this tour. The guide used a picture-story show on the bus to explain how important this place has been since the Ryukyu Kingdom era, which helped me understand its significance. It pained me to hear that, despite being a sacred site, there are people who litter and break incense burners. At the Himeyuri Monument, I also visited the Peace Memorial Museum and was moved to tears by the testimonies of survivors. After 73 years since the war, there are fewer opportunities to hear the voices of those who experienced it. While Okinawa has many fun places to visit, I was able to reflect on its history through sites that teach about the ground battles. The guide's explanations were also excellent. I enjoyed the last morning of the tour, and it was helpful that they provided transportation to the airport on the way back.

斎場御嶽に行ってみたくて、このツアーに参加したかったので、わざわざホテルを集合場所近くにしました。ガイドさんがバスの中で紙芝居を使って説明して下さり、琉球王国時代からどれほど重要な場所であったのか良く分かりました。斎場御嶽は神聖な場所なのに、ゴミを捨てたり、香炉を壊したりする輩がいると聞いて、心が痛みました。また、ひめゆりの塔では、平和記念資料館も見学し、生き残った方々の証言を拝見し、涙が止まりませんでした。戦後73年、当時を知る方々の声を聞く事も少なくなりました。沖縄は楽しい場所が他にもたくさんありますが、地上戦を経験した沖縄の歴史を学べる場所を訪れることができ、考えさせられました。ガイドさんの説明も良かったです。最終日の午前中を満喫し、帰りは空港まで送っていただいたので、助かりました。

We went on the tour on a Sunday over a long weekend so the traffic heading to Mount Fuji was bad. What usually takes 90mins became a 3 hours bus ride there. What was meant to be a 9 hour tour became a 12 hour tour because of the traffic jam going and returning. We had Blair as our guide and he did a great job managing our expectations, cracking jokes so that the long hours in the bus were bearable. He was really friendly and helpful. We didn't have much time at Ninja Village and Lake Kawaguchi because of the traffic jam, but we got to see Mount Fuji very clearly from the 5th station. The 4D simulation ride was also good fun although I did feel a bit giddy after watching it (from the visuals). I would still recommend it nonetheless.

The buffet lunch was average, and not worth 2,000 Yen in my opinion, but because of the crowds there, it was helpful to have lunch provided and all ready when you arrive (saves a lot of time).

If you don't have time to stay over in that area, this tour covers a lot in a day.

しかし、どの場所でも時間が限られていて、うまく写真を撮ることができません。

But the time is too limited in every spot and I can't take photo very well

I have visited Okinawa many times, but this was my first bus tour, and I was very satisfied. With a rental car, you don't get the guide's explanations, so you only know things like "the sea is beautiful" or "that was terrible." However, the guide explained everything in a very clear and polite manner, and I thought this price was incredibly cheap for what we received. I was very satisfied and will participate in a bus tour again.

何度も沖縄に来ていますが、バスツアーは初めてで、とても満足しました。レンタカーだと、ガイドさんの説明無いから、ただ、海綺麗。とか悲惨だったね〜。とかしかわからないが、本当に わかりやすく、丁寧に説明してもらい、
それで、この値段は申し訳ないぐらい安いと思いました。大満足でした。又 バスツアーに参加します。

Thank you for the comfortable tour. Perhaps because the reviews I saw in advance were so wonderful, it didn't quite reach the highest level of excitement, but it was a very satisfying tour.

In particular, the guide's explanations were kind and thorough, incorporating a lot of information that I wanted to know. I felt a high level of likability, which I believe is also due to their personality.

Regarding the minimum number of participants, I hesitated when applying, wondering if the tour would be canceled if there were fewer than four people. However, I learned that it is conducted about 300 times a year. If that had been clearly stated, I might have applied without hesitation.

快適なツアーを有難うございました。
事前に拝見した口コミがあまりにも素晴らしかったせいか、最高でした！までのテンションには至らなかったのですが、とても満足なツアーでした。
特にガイドさんの説明は、親切 丁寧で
知りたいと思うことをたくさん盛り込んでくださいました。お人柄もあると思いますが好感度高く感じました。

催行人数についてですが、4人に満たなかった場合は取りやめ？と申し込み時に迷いました。けれど、実際は年300回位
実施されているとのこと、そのように表記されていたら悩まずすんなり申し込めたかしら、と思いました。

The guide was enjoyable, and the time allocation was just right for us to have fun. However, we had some extra time at American Village at the end, so I would be happier if there were tours that do not include American Village.

ガイドさんも楽しい方でしたし、時間配分もちょうど良く楽しめました。最後のアメリカンビレッジだけ時間を持て余してしまったので、アメリカンビレッジの付いていないツアーもあると、より嬉しいです。

Despite the situation regarding the impact of Typhoon No. 22, I was able to enjoy the entire itinerary without any issues. The guidance and operations were well-organized, and there were no inconveniences at all.

If there are other tours organized by the same company, I would like to participate in those as well.

台風22号の影響がどう出るかという状況ながら、全行程無事に満喫できました。
誘導やオペレーションも慣れていて何も不自由ありませんでした。

同社が催行するツアーであれば他のものも参加してみたいです。

the tour was good.the tourist guide was friendly.the best part was at the oshino ninja village,we were able to watch the ninja show.it would be advisable to get this tour during spring time,to see the mt. fuji clearly.

You can spend a very relaxing time with the water buffalo! You ride in a water buffalo cart while listening to the shamisen being played. The duration seems to vary depending on the mood of the water buffalo!

水牛と一緒にとてものんびりとした時間を過ごすことができます！！三味線を弾いてもらいながら水牛車に乗ります。水牛の気分によって所要時間はまちまちなようです！

A plan to take your time from morning until evening. The driver and guide were both enjoyable and made the time fly by. It was great to leisurely travel the White Road, a place you wouldn't typically visit on your own, with stunning views from the car window. Even with the holiday crowds, we were able to enter Shirakawa-go right away, a privilege of the tour. We were able to thoroughly explore three World Heritage sites, including the views from the car window.

朝から夕方まで、じっくりと行くプラン。運転手の方やガイドさんもそつなく楽しくあっという間でした。個人では中々行かないホワイトロードをゆっくりと行く、車窓からの景色は最高です。連休の混雑も脇目にツアーの特権？白川郷にすぐに入場できました。車窓を含めて三ヶ所の世界遺産をしっかり見学できました。

The meeting place wasn't described in detail, so I was a bit anxious at first. I was able to meet up with the agent after communicating via phone, but it only mentioned "in front of DFS," while in reality, it was in front of "Aoyama," a bit of a walk from DFS. I thought this was quite unclear, so I deducted one star.

However, I was glad to be able to visit major tourist spots in a day. The atmosphere is very welcoming, so I highly recommend it for those considering solo travel. The bus guide was very dedicated, and the driver was pleasant as well. We had to make an unexpected stop at a roadside station due to stomach pain. I was moved to tears by the warm hospitality. Thank you for creating such wonderful memories of Okinawa.

集合場所が詳しく書いていなかったので、最初焦りました。
代理店の人とtelやり取りで無事に落ち合う事ができましたが、DFS前と書いてあるだけだったですが実際にはDFSから少し歩いた「洋服の青山」前でした。
これは分かるわけないだろう、と思ったので星１つマイナス。

しかし、日帰りでメジャーな観光地に行けて良かったです。
1人参加でも全然大丈夫な雰囲気ですので、一人旅で参加を迷ってる方はぜひおすすめします。
バスガイドさんがすごく一生懸命で運転手さんも感じが良かったです。
途中、腹痛で急遽道の駅に止まって頂きました。
温かいおもてなしにに思わず涙してしまいました。
とても良い沖縄の思い出になりありがとうございました。

I chose a bus tour for sightseeing in Okinawa since I am not familiar with driving. This was my first time using the service, and I was impressed by the tour guide's great energy, as they guided us with songs, dances, and jokes. They also actively encouraged us to take photos, which made for wonderful memories. I definitely want to use this service again for sightseeing.

運転に不慣れなためバスツアーを選択して沖縄観光しました。
初めて利用させて頂きましたが、添乗員さんのノリが良く、歌や踊り、冗談を交えながらガイドしてくださったのが印象的です。
写真を撮ってくださるのも、積極的に声を掛けてくださりとてもいい思い出になりました。
ぜひまた利用して観光したいなと思いました。

It takes 10 minutes by high-speed boat from Ishigaki Port to reach Taketomi Island!
I chose the water buffalo course.
I rode a water buffalo and leisurely circled around Taketomi Island!
After the ride, I was able to take photos with the water buffalo, and while I received some photos for free, I had to purchase the ones from different angles! Thank you for the memorable photos♪

石垣港より高速船で10分で竹富島に到着！
私は水牛コースを選びました。
水牛に乗りゆっくりと竹富島を1周！
乗り終わった後には水牛と一緒に写真を撮って頂き、その写真は頂けて違うアングル写真は購入でした！思い出の写真ありがとうございました♪

The bus arrived a little late. The meeting place, Kenmin Hiroba, is where other buses also stop, so I was anxious about which bus would come and where it would arrive. When the bus arrived, the guide called out to us, so we were able to board safely.

Since it was Sunday, the roads seemed to be clear, and we arrived at Sefa Utaki before it opened. However, because it was raining, we were allowed to enter a bit early. The sun was shining while it was still raining, making the ground slippery, so I had to be careful with my footing. It was unfortunate that it rained, but it was nice to see the water dripping from the two stalactites. There were many friendly cats around the area.

At Okinawa World, I was mainly interested in Gyokusendo Cave, and there was enough time just for that. The Yaeyama tortoise near the exit was cute.

Is "Himeyuri ni te choppiri present" referring to the souvenir shop's service voucher? I spent so much time at the museum that I had to just pass by the souvenir shop, and it felt awkward to present a service voucher without buying anything, which was a bit disappointing. I would have preferred an explanation if it was going to be listed as a "benefit." If it’s not a gift from the tour, it might be better not to label it as a benefit.

Overall, I think it was a very good plan that allowed us to efficiently explore the southern part of the island. Although it was only on the way there, we also passed through the Nirai Kanai Bridge. I think this is an attractive feature, so it would be good to include it in the tour details. (Since it wasn't specifically mentioned, I thought we wouldn't be passing through.)

バスの到着が少し遅れた。集合場所の県民広場は、他のバスも停まるところなので、どんなバスが来るのか、どこにバスが着くのかわからず不安だった。バスが着いたら、ガイドさんが声をかけてくれたので無事乗れた。
日曜日だったので道路が空いていたらしく、斎場御嶽に着いたのは開館前だったが、雨が降っていたこともあり、少し早めに入れていただいた。陽が差しつつ雨が降っていたので滑りやすく、足元には注意した。雨だったのは残念だったが、二本の鍾乳石から滴り落ちる水が見られたのがよかった。周辺には人懐こいネコがたくさんいた。
おきなわワールドは玉泉洞が目当てだったので、玉泉洞だけなら十分な時間だった。出口付近のヤエヤマイシガメがかわいかった。
「ひめゆりにてちょっぴりプレゼント」は、お土産屋のサービス券のこと？ぎりぎりまで資料館を見ていたので、お土産屋は素通りするしかなく、何も買わないのにサービス券を出すことはしづらく、少しがっかりだった。「特典」として記載するくらいなら説明をしてほしかった。ツアーからのプレゼントでないなら、特典としないほうがよいのでは。
全体的には、南部を効率よく回れるとてもよいプランだったと思う。
行きのみだが、ニライカナイ橋も通る。これも魅力だと思うので、ツアー内容に記載すればよいのにと思った。（特に書いていないので通らないのかと思った）

The price, which includes round-trip ferry tickets and rental bicycle fees, is a great deal. I also think it's appealing that you can choose your return time on the same day.

往復のフェリーチケット代とレンタサイクル代込みでこの価格は破格です。帰りの時間が当日選べるのも魅力だと思います。

It was a tour, but it had a high degree of freedom, with plenty of options, and it was really nice to be able to act mostly on our own.

ツアーでしたが自由度が高く、選択肢もたくさんあり、基本的に自分たちだけで行動できるのがラクでとてもよかったです☆

If you're worried about traveling individually to the Churaumi Aquarium, which is far from Naha City, I recommend this option. On the bus, a Japanese guide provides explanations about Okinawa's history and culture, along with enjoyable performances like songs and dances, so you won't get bored. It's also appealing that you can stop at famous Okinawan spots like Manzamo on the way to and from Churaumi. It seems to be a popular course, as it was fully booked when I participated. Half of the participants were from abroad, and there were occasional audio guidance broadcasts in foreign languages on the bus. The guide spoke entirely in Japanese. Lunch is at your own expense as needed, but I think it's a good deal since the entrance fees for the aquarium and Ryukyu Village are included in the tour price.

那覇市街から遠い美ら海水族館へ、個人で移動するのが心配な方におすすめです。バス内では、日本人ガイドさんが沖縄の歴史や風土に関する説明、歌や踊り等の楽しいパフォーマンスをされ退屈しませんでした。美ら海への行き・帰りの途中で、万座毛など沖縄の名所に寄れるところも魅力的です。人気コースのようで、私が参加した時は満席でした。参加者の半数は外国からの方で、車内では、時おり外国語によるオーディオガイダンス放送があります。ガイドさんは全て日本語でお話されました。昼食は必要に応じて各自負担ですが、水族館・琉球村の入場料はツアー料金に含まれており、お得だと思います。

It was my first time on a deck bus. The scenery and sky were amazing. The weather was uncertain, but it held up while I was on the bus, so that was great. Next time, I want to try a different route.

初のデッキバスでした。景色・空最高でした。
天気が不安でしたが、乗ってる間はもってくれたので良かったです。
次は、別ルートに乗りたいですね

I chose a course that includes a ferry and a mini bus tour for sightseeing on the island. The itinerary stated that we would only disembark at the star sand beach, but we were also allowed to get off and explore at Kondoi Beach, where we could stroll along the sandy shore. On the way back, we could spend the time until the ferry departure for free exploration of the village. Although the distance from the village to Taketomi Port is considerable, we were able to take a free bus provided by the water buffalo company. The mini bus tour driver provided thorough explanations about the island, and even though I was alone, I was able to fully enjoy the charm of Taketomi Island.

フェリー・水牛車代込みで島内観光ミニバスツアー付きのコースを選びました。旅程には星の砂浜のみ下車とありましたが、コンドイビーチでも下車観光させて下さり、砂浜を散策できました。帰りは、フェリーの時間までを集落の自由散策にあてることができます。集落から竹富港までは距離がありますが、水牛の会社の無料バスで送ってもらえます。ミニバスツアーの運転手さんの島内説明も丁寧で、ひとりでしたが竹富島の魅力を十分に味わえました。

I participated in a tour that I have used multiple times before because my companion wanted to join. After finishing cycling on Taketomi Island, we returned to the port, and since I didn't know which side the ferry would dock on, I waited. When I asked an employee on the side where the Ishigaki Island Dream Tourism boat was docked, they kept telling me to line up. I asked which side to line up on, but they continued to insist that I should line up.

I noticed that the large travel agency Y was being treated politely, while we were being looked down upon with a discriminatory response that favored group profits over individual ones. Even at the beginning, when we departed from Iriomote Island for the cruise and bus, it seemed that the Y travel group was prioritized even though we were the first to leave. If they had stated from the start that groups with higher profits would be prioritized, I would have had to accept it, but the blatant discrimination was humiliating.

何度も利用しているツアーで今回も同行者が行きたいと言われて参加しました。
竹富島でのサイクリングが終わり港に戻りフェリー乗り場の左右どちらに停泊するかわからなかったので待機していると石垣島ドリーム観光の船が停泊した側の従業員に聞くと並んで下さいの連呼でした。
どちら側に並ぶが聞いたが更に並んで下さいの連呼でした。
初めから同じ行動だった大手Y旅行には丁寧に対応したりしてるのを見て団体の利益と個人の利益を差別した見下された対応でした。
初めも西表島からクルーズやバスなど全て一番初めに出発しても少し進んだらY旅行の団体を先に優先してるのは会社ぐるみの対応だったみたいでした。
初めから利益の多い団体様優先と記載していたら納得せざるを得ないですがあからさまな差別は屈辱でした。

It was great because it was a roofless bus, making it easy to see Tsutenkaku and Abeno Harukas. However, it was hot, so hats are a must for both men and women.

屋根なしバスなので、通天閣やあべのハルカスが見やすく最高でした。でも、暑いので、男性も女性も帽子は必須ですね。

We enjoy it really much......thanks also for our tour guide Madam Madoka for introduced Japanese culture to us. >_<

First, Sefa Utaki is a sacred site registered as a World Heritage site, and it had a divine atmosphere that is often described as a "sacred space." After that, I enjoyed a powerful Eisa performance at Okinawa World. Finally, I visited the Himeyuri Monument. The young bus guide shared harrowing stories from war survivors about their experiences during that time. The intensity of the battles in the Okinawa campaign was described as a "storm of iron," and many people lost their lives. It is a place that makes you reflect on war and peace.

まず、斎場御嶽は世界遺産にも登録されている祈りの場であり、「聖なる空間」といわれるほど神聖な空気が漂っていました。
その後、オキナワワールドで気迫あふれるエイサーを観賞。
そして最後に、ひめゆりの塔を参拝しました。
若いバスガイドさんでしたが、戦争経験者たちから聞いた当時の悲惨な体験談を語ってくれました。
沖縄戦の戦闘の激しさは「鉄の暴風」と表現されるほどであり、非常に多くの方々が犠牲となりました。
戦争や平和について考えさせられる場所です。

At Saijō Gushikawa, they offered free sandals for rent, making the climb easy. The limestone cave was enchanting, but it was longer and took more time than I expected. I only had time to drink some shikwasa juice and didn’t have any time to explore the above-ground area. I received a discount ticket for souvenirs, but I didn’t have time to use it. I didn’t enter the Himeyuri Monument because I thought I would run out of time inside the museum, but I still didn’t have enough time to buy souvenirs leisurely. However, I was able to sample barley tea and sata andagi at the souvenir shop. Additionally, since shipping was free for purchases over 8,000 yen, I was able to send my items and had less luggage to carry. The shuttle to the airport was convenient, but arriving at 1 PM didn’t leave enough time for sightseeing; I think arriving at 2 PM would have been better. The guide's explanations were very easy to understand.

斎場御嶽は、サンダルが無料貸し出ししてもらえて、楽に登れました。鍾乳洞は幻想的でしたが思ったより距離が長くて時間がかかり、シークワーサージュースを飲んだだけで、地上部分を観光する時間が全くなかった、お土産の割引チケットも貰ったが、使う時間はなかった。ひめゆりの塔は、博物館中に入ったら時間がなくなりそうだったので入らなかったがそれでもお土産をゆっくり買う時間はなかったですが、お土産屋さんで麦茶とサーターアンダギーの試食が頂けました。また、8千円以上購入で送料無料だったので郵送できて、手荷物が少なくてすみました。空港までの送迎付きで楽でしたが、13時着では、観光する時間が全然足りないので、14時着なら良かったと思います。ガイドさんの説明はすごく分かりやすかったです。

I was expecting coolness in early September, but it was hot!
The conversation made me forget about the heat.
Thank you to the guide, who also handled various tasks, and the driver.
I was promised to come back again.

涼しさを期待した9月上旬でしたが、暑かった～
その暑さを感じさせないトーク。
ガイド・雑用兼務、ドライバーさんありがとうございました。
リピターを約束させられました。
