All Reviews for Bus Tours

It was an early morning tour, but thanks to that, it wasn't too crowded anywhere, which was great. It was amazing that we could visit so many places in just half a day. The guide's explanations were clear and memorable. After the tour ended, we still had plenty of time, so we were able to use our time meaningfully.

朝早くからのツアーでしたが、そのお陰で、どこもあまり混んでなくて良かったです。半日であれだけ回れたのは凄い。ガイドさんの説明もわかりやすく、心に残りました。
ツアー終了後も、時間が充分あるので、時間を有意義に使えました。

I was unsure whether to rent a car in Ishigaki Island or to use a jumbo taxi or bus for sightseeing, so I made my reservation with some hesitation. Just before the trip, the jumbo taxi driver suggested that instead of taking the bus, we could continue sightseeing with the jumbo taxi. However, I thought it might be difficult to cancel, so I decided to go ahead with it. We had a child in a wheelchair, but both the bus driver and the guide were very nice, and I really appreciated their help with folding and lifting the wheelchair and their consideration for the child’s needs! The guide was skilled, incorporating songs and the sanshin, which made for a very enjoyable half-day filled with laughter and jokes. They took us to places we wouldn’t have been able to visit on our own, and we had a great time.

石垣島でレンタカー借りるより、ジャンボタクシーや、バスで観光出来るかな？と迷いながらの予約申込でした。直前、ジャンボタクシーの人から、バスで観光するより、このままジャンボタクシーで観光しては？と言われましたが、キャンセルするのもどうかなと思い、そのまま参加しました。車椅子の子供がいたのですが、バスの運転手さんもガイドさんも好い人で、車椅子をたたんでの上げ下ろしや、不自由な子供への配慮がとても有難かったです！ガイドも上手で、歌や三線取り入れて、笑いあり、冗談ありでとても楽しい半日でした。家族だけではなかなか行けないところに連れていってくれ、楽しかったです

I was glad to be able to visit various places in one day. However, the sightseeing time at each facility was short, so I couldn't have lunch, which was a bit disappointing.

一日でいろいろ回れてよかったです。ただ、施設ごとの観光時間が短かったので、お昼ご飯を食べることで出来なかったのは、少し残念でした。

Time provided at each place is quite short.
The drop-point is different from the pick-up point.

I enjoyed the Osaka illumination while riding a double-decker bus along Midosuji. They provided blankets and heating pads, so I didn't feel too cold. The elevated view allows you to see the illumination from a different perspective! I highly recommend experiencing it.

二階建てバスで御堂筋を走り大阪イルミネーションを堪能しました。
カイロや膝掛けも用意されており、あまり寒さは感じませんでした。
視界が高くなりますから違った感じでイルミネーションを見れますよ！
是非体験されて下さい。

The bus guide and the driver were very pleasant and wonderful. Due to hotel arrangements, I had to get off partway, but they were very kind and provided great support, which impressed me. Kouri Island was very beautiful. I wish I could have spent a little more time there. The weather wasn't great, but I was able to visit many places I wanted to go and had a great time. The bus was comfortable, and thanks to that, I was able to enjoy my time.

バスガイドさんと運転手さんがとても感じがよくて、素晴らしかった。
ホテルの都合で途中下車をすることになったけれど、色々相談に乗ってくださりとても親切で素晴らしい対応で感動しました。
古宇利島がとても綺麗でした。
もう少しゆっくりできたらよかったです。
天候がイマイチでしたが、行ってみたかったところにたくさん行けて満喫できました。
バスも快適でお陰で楽しい時間を過ごせました。

We were fortunate to have a great driver and tour guide, making it a wonderful trip. It's much safer and more reassuring than renting a car. Although the driver and tour guide were with us for just one day, we appreciated their help. The tour content was very fulfilling, and I highly recommend it.

ドライバーさん添乗員さんに恵まれてとても良い旅行になりました。
レンタカーを借りるより安心安全ですよ。
ドライバーさん添乗員さん一日と短い間でしたがお世話になりました。
ツアーの内容もとても充実お勧めですよ。

We thank Levin for a wonderful time. Fuji Airway was a fantastic and wow experience...Mt Fuji 5th station view was beautiful...our guide Levin ensure we can get there impressed upon me that he cares.

The tour guide and the driver were both very pleasant and accommodating.

On that day, it snowed heavily, and I was able to fully enjoy the winter scenery of Shirakawa-go and Gokayama.

The explanations provided by the tour guide, which were not included in the guidebook, were very informative. The stories about the Yashiki-mori and the Kodo gate were particularly interesting.

Additionally, the information about shops and souvenirs was very helpful. I was able to visit different shops on that day and the next, enjoying reasonably priced and delicious meals. I also had no trouble selecting souvenirs.

I'm sorry I forgot the name of the tour guide. I had a wonderful trip in Kanazawa. Thank you very much!

添乗員さん、運転手さんともに、大変気持ちの良い対応でした。

当日、たっぷり雪が降り、冬の白川郷、五箇山を堪能できました。

添乗員さんのガイドブックには載っていない説明、勉強になりました。屋敷森や鼓門の話などとても面白かったです。

また、お店やお土産情報、大変参考になりました。当日、翌日、違ったお店に行き、リーズナブルで美味しいお料理をいただくことができました。また、お土産もスムーズに選べました。

添乗員さんのお名前、忘れてしまってごめんなさい。金沢、良い旅ができました。ありがとうございました。あんやと❣️

It's incredibly cheap!
Also, the guide was a veteran, which gave me a sense of security.
Many people were able to get off at the airport, so I think there were more on the last day.
I highly recommend it.

とにかく安い！
そしてガイドさんがベテランで安心感が
ありました。
空港で降りられる方も多かったので
最終日の方が多かったのだと思います。
オススメです。

Our family enjoy the visit at Churaumi Aquarium and after the Pineapple park, we even received a surprise gift of pineapple ice cream and it taste very delicious

Bus is always on time and does not stay long at every post. You'll get to every destination without having to worry about the travel time.The audio guide is useful as well since it is in sync every time we approach a certain stop. For a tourist with limited time to explore, this activity is very much recommended!

To be candid, I feel the limited time per location 2-3mins tops (if I remember it right) is too short to fully appreciate the experience. But the good thing about this, you'll be able to visit and take pictures at these iconic places.

The open-top bus was refreshing.
It was fun to see Tokyo Tower up close.
I was disappointed that we spent too much time at the shopping center in Odaiba.

オープントップバスが気持ち良かったです。
東京タワーがまじかでみられて楽しかったです。
お台場でのショッピングセンターの時間が長かったのが残念でした。

I took this trip last week with my family and had a wonderful time. We got a pick-up from Hotel New Otani which was near to the hotel we were staying. Then we were ferried to Shinjuku where we were transferred to our day tour bus headed for Mt Fuji . It was well managed and best part was the seats in the bus were pre-allocated so all the passengers were settled in no time. Even my daughter got a seat.
The tour guide ‘assistant’, as he called himself, was very friendly and real, talking from the heart and sharing his experiences in Japan.
It was a very pleasant and sunny day, perfect for viewing MtFuji, and that is what we got. We were able to go all the way to fifth station and click a few clear sights of the MtFuji.
On the way we stopped at few locations as per the itinerary. The stop at ninja village was awesome where we were also served Japanese style lunch with lot of vegetarian options. The food was great and well presented. There was a ninja show (not included in the tour price) which was also great. There were fun activities for all to do around the place.
On the way back we stopped for the 4D flight simulator ride which was not to be missed.
Overall we had a great time and we will recommend this tour to anyone visiting Tokyo.

It was a great tour visiting the highlights of the northern region, starting with the Churaumi Aquarium. Although the sky was cloudy and the scenery was disappointing, I was able to hear the guide's explanations well and felt like I gained a deeper understanding of Okinawa.

美ら海水族館をはじめ、北部の見どころを回るいいツアーでした。
曇り空で
景色が残念な分ガイドさんの話しが良く聞け、沖縄を深く知れた気がしました。

I was worried because the bus didn't arrive even after the scheduled time, but the guide's stories were interesting, and they sang well, which made it enjoyable. The driver also drove safely and greeted us pleasantly every time we got on and off. Thank you for a fulfilling day.

沖縄タイムなのか時間になってもバスが来ず心配しましたが、ガイドさんのお話は面白く、歌も上手で、楽しませて頂きました。
運転手さんも安全運転で、乗車降車の度に気持ちよく挨拶して頂きました。
充実した1日をありがとうございました。

I felt that the guide's precise explanations were great. The duration of each stop was also just right. I think it was a satisfying tour for the price.

ガイドさんの的確な説明が良かったと感じます
ポイントポイントの滞在時間も適度でした
お値段の割には満足のいくツアーだと思います

The meeting place at Ishigaki Port was easy to find, and we received our tour tickets and boarded the ship. I was worried that it might be rocky due to the bad weather, but we arrived at Iriomote without any issues. The sightseeing on Iriomote Island was done by boat and bus, while Yufu Island was explored on foot with water buffalo. On Taketomi Island, we toured by water buffalo and bus. It was great that we could efficiently visit all the sightseeing spots. However, the guidance for the return ship on Taketomi Island was a bit unclear.

石垣港の集合場所もすぐにわかり、ツアーチケットをいただき乗船
天気が悪かったので、揺れるかなと心配しましたが、特に問題なく西表に到着
西表島は船とバスでの観光　由布島は水牛と徒歩での観光
竹富島は水牛とバスでの観光　全て観光名所を効率的に回れて良かったです。※竹富島で帰りの船への案内が分かりにくかったです。　　

First, we took a bus to visit Hoshi no Suna and Kondoi Beach, which took about 30 minutes. The stories about Taketomi Island during the ride were quite funny.
Next was the water buffalo tour. The guide's explanations were excellent, and I laughed a lot (though it was a bit hard to understand due to the accent). Still, I was surprised by how intelligent water buffalo are. It was amazing that the leading was done not by the guide, but by the wisdom and experience of the water buffalo. Thank you, water buffalo!

　まず、バスを利用して星の砂、コンドイビーチ等を訪れ約３０分くらい、車中での竹富島のお話、結構笑わせます。
　次は水牛観光です。ガイドさんの説明、これもうまい、うまい、大笑いしました。（多少、訛りでわかりずらかったですが）それにしても、水牛は、大変賢い動物だと思いました。道中、先導はガイドではなく、水牛の知恵と経験でおこなっているのに、びっくりです。水牛さん、ご苦労様でした。

This tour was great to show us the highlights of Tokyo. We really enjoyed it

I took the train that departed at 7:20 PM on December 9th! The illumination was beautiful and breathtaking.

However, since it was cold due to the season, I understand the open ceiling, but I wish they would improve the heating inside the train.

12月9日19時20分発に乗りました！イルミネーションは綺麗で圧巻でした

ただ、時期的に寒いので、オープンの天井は仕方ないとして、車内の暖房をもっと工夫して欲しい。

I recommend sitting on the left side of the bus for a view of the ocean.

Since Sefa Utaki is early in the morning, there are fewer people, which is nice. It was such a pleasant sacred place that I wanted to stay longer.

I'm glad I chose Gyokusendo. It was my first time visiting a cave closely connected to the sea, and it was fascinating.

I initially thought I would only go to places like Himeyuri if I had the time, but I'm glad I went. Even for a short while, I think it's necessary to reflect on the horrors of that great war. I might have enjoyed peeking into the memorial museum. I ended up having too much time to spare.

The guide seemed to be a novice and was trying hard! (But important things like explaining the entrance fee should not be mistaken.) Since they were born and raised locally, their guiding, mixed with native Okinawan language, was quite interesting.

バスの座席は海の見える左側がおすすめです。

斎場御嶽は朝一なので、人も少なくていいですね。もっと居たくなるくらいの心地好い聖地でした。

玉泉洞を選択してよかったと思います。
海と密接な鍾乳洞は初めてで興味深かったです。

ひめゆり等はついでじゃないと行かないなーくらいの気持ちでしたが、行ってよかったです。
少しの間だけでも、かの大戦の惨禍に思いを馳せることもやはり必要かと。
がんばって記念館を覗いてもよかったかな。
待ち時間をもて余してしまいました。

ガイドさんは新米らしくいろいろとがんばれ！でしたが。(入場料の説明など大事なとこは間違えちゃダメですよー)
地元生まれ、育ちということでネイティブ沖縄言葉を織り交ぜながらのガイドはなかなか面白かったです。

I would have liked more detailed information in the guide. (I already know about the streets and buildings from my research, so interesting anecdotes and historical information would be great.)

案内をもう少し詳しくしてほしかった。
（街並み、建物は事前に調べてわかっているので、面白エピソードや
　歴史情報など)

Solo trip. I thought it would be a long drive, but I wanted to be healed by the nature and atmosphere of Okinawa, so I signed up for a tour with a guide's performance among the many bus tours available! I was surprised to see many foreign participants, but we laughed a lot thanks to the guide's hospitality, and in the end, it was moving✨ The weather was great, and it was a fun day! Thank you, Oshi-san and Kinjō-san, for the best day ever! I will use your services again (*^▽^)/★*☆♪

一人旅。車で行くのは遠いなーと思いつつ、沖縄の自然や雰囲気に癒されたくて、数あるバスツアーの中でもから、ガイドさんのパフォーマンスつきのツアーを申し込みました！
外国の方の参加が多くてビックリでしたが、ガイドさんのおもてなしによく笑い、最後は感動✨天気も良くて、楽しい１日でした！大城さん、金城さん、最高の１日をありがとうございました❗
また利用します(*^▽^)/★*☆♪

I thought it might be cold, so I dressed warmly, but I was grateful for the heating from below, the lap blankets, and the heat packs that were provided. I went with five friends, and everyone was impressed. We considered taking the next South Course, but unfortunately, there were no available rides that day, which was disappointing. In any case, it was definitely a fun hour.

寒いかなと思い、着込んでいったのですが、足元からの暖房や、膝掛け、カイロが用意されていて、有り難かったです。友達5人で利用しましたが、皆感激で、次の南コースも乗ろうかと思いましたが、あいにくその日は便がなく、残念でした。とにかく間違いなく楽しい1時間です。

Overall experience: Great - almost perfect
- The tour guide, Hiroshi, was very engaging, friendly and approachable. He shared a lot of interesting facts about Japan and especially on Mt. Fuji which made it very interesting for us tourists.
- The tour guide also engaged the participants to listen better and remember the facts by having a mini game and giving some freebies from Japan which is good way for us to make activity more fun.
- The good side is the tour gave ample time for each activity which is enough for people to take photos and have some rest.
- The views during the tour was spectacular and breath taking.

Suggestions:
- During the time of our tour, the road to 2nd to 5th station was closed so we did not get to see Mt Fuji up close. We understand it is for safety purposes. Maybe we could have gotten another free ride to Fuji Q also.
- Food is good but could be improved. Maybe change the chicken tempura to ebi one since it is more popular and tasty.

The guide was very kind!
It was a great experience since it was my first time participating in a tour in Japan.
Thank you for your hard work!

ガイドさんはとても親切です！
初めて日本のツアーに参加したのでいい経験でした。
お疲れ様でした！

I participated with my elderly parent (over 70 years old). It was fun to do city sightseeing from a double-decker bus at a high vantage point. It went by in a flash, but I was satisfied with how efficiently we were able to see everything.

高齢（70歳以上）の親と参加しました。2階建てバスで高いところから市内観光ができて楽しかったです。あっという間でしたが効率よく見れ満足でした。

The tour was a fantastic value for the price. Our guide Ari was great and very informative we appreciated all his extra insight on the history of the places we visited. We we're very lucky as the weather was perfect to see and explore the different sights we visited. The bus ride was comfortable and the Ninja Lunch was very satisfying i would recommend including it. The one down side to the entire trip was how much time you have at each destination, you must be quick if you want to see and enjoy all the different areas you visit. All in all i would say this tour is worth it for a wonderful day trip to the beautiful Mt Fuji.
