大阪市内観光バス 2階建オープンデッキバスで巡る名所の数々!ダイナミックな景観と季節の風を感じながら360度パノラマ観光!<大阪駅発>

It was unfortunate that there was light rain, but I'm glad I went. 小雨が残念でしたが、乗って良かった

Reviewed by: 大阪の初心者

At first, it drizzled, and we had to close the roof of the bus. The online information mentioned that "raincoats will be distributed in case of rain," so I was prepared for a tour in a raincoat based on the weather forecast, but I was glad to avoid getting wet from the cold rain. However, it was disappointing that we couldn't see tall buildings like Abeno Harukas and Tsutenkaku clearly. Still, I was satisfied with the tour as I was able to grasp an overview of Osaka and the one-hour duration was adhered to.

最初に雨がぱらついて、バスの屋根を閉めた観光になりました。WEBでの案内では「雨の際はカッパを配付する」とあったので、天気予報から雨ガッパでの観光を覚悟していたのですが、冷たい雨に濡れずにすんだのは良かったです。しかし、アベノハルカスや通天閣など高層建物が十分に見れなかったのは残念でした。それでも、大阪の概要をつかむことができたこと、1時間という所要時間が守られたことなどの点で満足のいく観光でした。

Okinawa Day Tour to Churaumi Aquarium, Cape Manzamo, and Nago Pineapple Park

Cost Efficient Way to Visit the Aquarium and more

Reviewed by: Victoria L

The tour was very punctual and the tour guide was very nice and professional. She even gave out some treats during the long ride between destinations. Overall, great value and comfortable ride to and back from the aquarium. It's a much longer journey time-wise due to the multiple stops to pick up additional customers, but if you're looking for a cost-efficient way to visit the aquarium, this one-day tour is a great option to consider, especially taking into account how many other additional sites are included.

  • Bus driver placing the sign indicating departure time.

  • Admission to aquarium is included in the tour price.

I was able to use my time effectively. 時間が有効に使えました

Reviewed by: frebull~bond

Of course, I've been to Osaka many times, but taking this bus allows you to see the landmarks all at once, and the explanations are thorough, so I was able to learn things I didn't know before. It's a meaningful way to spend your time when you have a little free time. I also continued to use the Umeda route, but I felt like the wait was a bit wasted since there was over an hour of downtime before my transfer. Most of the other passengers were also using both the Namba and Umeda courses, so it would be appreciated if you could minimize the waiting time between transfers. If I have time in Osaka, I plan to ride the same course repeatedly.

勿論大阪には何度も来ていますが、このバスに乗ると名所?をまとめて見られるし、解説が丁寧なので今まで知らなかったことも勉強できました。
ちょっと時間が出来た時に利用すると有意義に過ごせます。
うめだルートも続けて利用しましたが、乗り継ぎまでに1時間以上時間が空いたので待ち時間がもったいなかった感じです。
同乗した方もほとんど「なんば」「うめだ」両コースを利用していたので、乗り継ぎにあまり時間が空かないようにして頂くと有り難いです。
大阪で時間が出来たら例え同じコースでも繰り返し乗ろうと思います。

#Three Generation Trip# On my first visit to a remote island, I took the Dream Ferry from Ishigaki Island Terminal to Taketomi Island, where I enjoyed a glass-bottom boat ride, searched for star sand, and even rode a cart pulled by oxen.

金沢発着日帰りバスツアー 白川郷+五箇山 2つの世界遺産めぐる合掌造り周遊 山の幸満載の昼食<月・火・金 催行/添乗員同行/1日>

The guide was the worst intern. ガイドがインターンで最悪

Reviewed by: Sherry

The guide on the day was an intern. There was also a veteran guide on board, but they only greeted the passengers at the beginning, and after that, the intern took charge the entire time.

I was satisfied with the content of the tour itself. However, the intern's guidance was so poor that it was the worst experience. They ended every explanation with "it seems like..." and kept asking the veteran guide questions during the tour, getting corrected each time.

When they said "it seems like..." I felt like saying, "I could have looked that up myself!" I didn't understand the purpose of having a guide. Before the sightseeing, they said, "I recommend this place," but when we went there, it was closed for the day. After returning from the sightseeing, they casually mentioned, "I forgot that place is closed today." Even though they are an intern, I was astonished at how little they knew.

Also, their way of speaking was rough. They might have intended to be friendly, but they didn't use Japanese correctly and relied too much on slang, which made it hard to listen to. I wouldn't say the intern guide was bad, but I think they should study more internally before presenting themselves in front of customers.

当日のガイドさんがインターンの人でした。ベテランのガイドさんも乗っていたのですが、最初に乗客に挨拶しただけで、あとはずっとインターンが取り仕切っていました。
ツアーの内容自体は満足でした。
ですが、インターンの案内が下手過ぎて最悪でした。すべての説明の語尾に「~らしいです」とつけるのです。案内の途中でもベテランガイドさんにいちいち質問してるし、訂正されてるし。
「~らしいです」って言われても、そんなのあなたから聞かなくても、自分で調べられるわ!って言いそうになりました。なんのためのガイドか意味がわかりませんでした。
観光前に「〇〇がお勧めです」と言いながら、そのお店は行ってみたら当日閉まっているし。観光から戻ってきて帰路についたら、「〇〇は今日閉まっているの忘れてましたー」ってのうのうと言いのけるし。いくらインターンと言えど、何も把握してなくて、呆れました。
あと、話し方が乱暴です。フレンドリーにしたいつもりなのかもしれませんが、日本語も正しく使用できていないし、若者言葉を多用しすぎで聞き苦しかったです。インターンのガイドが悪いとは言いませんが、お客様の前に出す前に、社内で勉強してから人前に出るべきだと思いました。

Dear Sherry,

Thank you for participating in our tour. I sincerely apologize for the rude behavior of our staff that caused you discomfort.

Currently, we are participating in a program called "Ishikawa Hometown Working Holiday," which allows people to experience life in Ishikawa through interactions with the local community, at the request of Ishikawa Prefecture. The intern involved in this situation was a student assisting with our work through this program. Originally, they were meant to be a support staff for English interpretation, but due to a last-minute cancellation by foreign guests who were initially scheduled to join, a lack of communication between the on-site and administrative staff led to this unfortunate situation. I am truly sorry.

Thank you for your valuable feedback, Sherry. We will ensure proper employee training to avoid any disrespect towards our customers in the future and strive to support everyone's travel experience.

Sherry様

Visiting Taketomi Island with my 5-year-old and 1-year-old was fantastic. I believe the round-trip ferry fare, water buffalo ride, and one-day rental bike price is unbeatable! It was a great help that we could rent a family bicycle. Since we didn't have a rental car, the hotel pick-up service was especially convenient! Everyone was very kind, and it turned out to be a fun trip! I would love to use this service again. Thank you!

After the passage of Typhoon No. 18, there were concerns about the itinerary, but we were able to depart safely by reversing the schedule. We enjoyed a leisurely trip under the blue sky, riding the water buffalo carts on both Taketomi Island and Yubu Island. The lunch bento we had on Yubu Island was also delicious.

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I've been to Osaka several times, but I hadn't explored much, so I decided to take a ride. The weather was too nice and hot, but the cooling patches and mist helped ease it a bit. The vehicle slows down and stops at key points, so you can enjoy the view from the window quite a bit. I think it's a good way to see the general areas.

大阪には何度か来ていますが、あまり、あちこちに行ってなかったので、乗車してみました。
お天気が良すぎて暑かったのですが、冷えピタとミストで幾分か和らぎました。

石垣島一周定期観光バス 川平湾や玉取崎展望台など島の名所をバスガイドの案内でひと巡り!眺めの良いレストランでランチ付き!<空港途中降車可/石垣島>

Perfect for sightseeing on the last day. 最終日の観光に最適

Reviewed by: プクコ

- This is a very efficient plan for sightseeing in Ishigaki Island for those who do not drive.
- By the third day, when we were starting to feel tired, the relaxed morning departure and the option for hotel pickup and airport drop-off were great.
- The scenery was beautiful, of course, but the history of the Tomb of the Chinese and the explanation of the island songs from our guide were very moving.
- As mentioned in other comments, if you take a glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay, you won't have time to enjoy the view from the observation deck, so we went to see the scenery of Kabira Bay separately.

・初めての石垣島観光で、車を運転しない者にとって、とても効率良く石垣島の観光地を周れるプランです。
・そろそろ疲れの出始めた3日目でしたが、朝の出発もゆったりで、ホテルでのピックアップおよび空港下車が選択出来たのも良かったです。
・景色が美しいのはもちろんでしたが、ガイドさんから伺った唐人墓の歴史や、島唄の解説はとても感慨ふかかったです。
・他の方のコメントにもありましたが、川平湾でグラスボートに乗ると、展望台からの景色を観る時間はなくなってしまうので、私たちは川平湾の景色は別途観に行きました。

- It was a tour involving multiple operators, including a ferry to the remote islands, a boat on Iriomote Island, a bus, a water buffalo cart to Yubu Island, lunch, and rental bicycles on Taketomi Island. Everything was very well coordinated, allowing for smooth sightseeing without any confusion.

- Contrary to the weather forecast, we were blessed with good weather for three days and were able to enjoy very beautiful scenery. Even the photos I took look stunning!

Mt. Fuji Tour from Tokyo with Lake Kawaguchi, Oshino Hakkai & Ninja Village

MT FUJI

Reviewed by: Daniel Mitchell

This tour was definitely the highlight of our trip to Japan! Our tour guide Blair was amazing and very informative. Not only did he keep us on schedule but he also gave us extra time at the stop on Mt. Fuji because it was such a nice clear day! All of the stops were very fun and the blueberry ice cream at the lake is a must eat! We we're lucky enough to see Mt Fuji from most of our stops that day including the lake. The 8 ponds also had a lot to do and we bought most of our souvenirs there. The lunch at ninja village is definitely recomended. And the 4d ride was a perfect finish to the whole day. If I had to change something about the tour I would possibly cut out either the ninja village or the 4d ride just to allow for more time at the other stops since it felt a little rushed. The value for your money is amazing and I will be telling all my friends to book this specific tour and request our amazing guide!! Blair was even helpful enough to give us recommendations for the rest of our trip on our bus ride back to shinjuku. Thank you for an amazing experience and we will definitely be back!

Mt. Fuji Tour from Tokyo with Lake Kawaguchi, Oshino Hakkai & Ninja Village

A good trip to Mt Fuji 5th station and surrounding places

Reviewed by: Datta

My family has been in Japan for few months now, but we did not quite make it to Mount Fuji since it is not as convenient as visiting most of the other sites. As a result, we booked the tour from Veltra which was a good idea. Although the price seemed on higher side, the offer tempted us to go ahead. The bus was good and the seats comfortable with good leg space. We were glad to have been offered an entire row of 4 seats all for ourselves, 2 + 1 kid. Free wi-fi on the bus was a bonus. Due to long weekend, there was more traffic which led to a delay of about an hour and the itinerary was changed, as we first headed to Oshino Ninja village for an early lunch. This place was pretty good with few options for veggies too. We got to click pics with Ninjas. Next stop was at Oshino Hakkai village with lovely fresh water, clear ponds and country-side houses which was picturesque. We then headed to Mt Fuji 5th station where the clouds played a spoil sport and hence we could not get a great view of the mountain. The time allotted here was less than 30 min which I felt was too less, as this was the main site of visit, expected at least an hour. The 4D activity was broken that day and was cancelled. Hence, as an alternate we got a boat ride at lake Kawaguchi and later went to the other side of the lake where we were in for some luck to see the Mt Fuji peak.
Overall a good experience, the guide Jack kept us engaged with information about Japan and ensured no-one was left behind!!

The detailed guidance of the veteran guide. ベテランガイドさんの細やかガイド

Reviewed by: はるばる

I actually want to give it 5 stars; it was a wonderful tour (I'll explain why I gave it 4 stars later).

The guide was fantastic. They provided detailed explanations about Okinawa's history, lifestyle, culture, and nature while we were in the moving vehicle. They also allowed participants some time to themselves by occasionally pausing the explanations. The guide was truly excellent, and the driver was also a wonderful person, full of politeness and safety.

Regarding cost performance, there are entrance fees at various locations, so expenses will continue to accumulate during the tour. However, at Okinawa World, the guide recommended a less expensive course, saying that the highest entrance fee course would be difficult time-wise, which left a good impression.

The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that I felt there could have been a bit more flexibility regarding the entrance fees. On the day I participated, there were a total of 23 participants. Normally, a group rate applies for 20 or more people at Sefa Utaki, allowing each participant to enter at a lower price. However, we were told that each participant had to pay the individual rate to enter, even though all participants were part of a tour group. I felt it was disappointing that if the guide had simply said at the reception, "23 people are entering," all participants could have entered at a lower price.

That said, our participation date just happened to have more than 20 people, and there may be days with fewer than 20, in which case the individual rate would apply. It would be better if the top page for participant recruitment clearly stated that entrance fees vary depending on the number of participants. I believe there is room for improvement.

While there was a bit of disappointment, I think it was a wonderful tour that efficiently covered key points in a short time, allowing us to listen to the explanations of a veteran guide.

本当は星を5つにしたい、素晴らしいツアーでした(なぜ星を4つにしたかは後述します)。

ガイドさんが素晴らしかったです。細やかに沖縄の歴史や生活や文化や自然についてを、走る車内でたくさん説明してくださりました。また、時に説明を中断されて、参加客が自分の時間を持てる余裕も残してくださりました。
本当にガイドさんが素晴らしかったし、運転士さんも礼儀正しさと安全に満ちた素晴らしい方でした。

コストパフォーマンスですが、各所において入場料がかかるので、ツアー中、それなりに財布からの出費は続きます。
でも沖縄ワールドにおいてはガイドさんが、最も高い入場料のコースは時間的に難しいだろうからと、安めのコースを案内してくださり、好印象です。

星を5つではなく4つにした理由は、その入場料について、もう少し機転をきかせられると思えたからです。
私のツアー参加日、参加者は計23名でした。本来なら斎場御嶽において、20名以上の団体料金が適用されるので、各参加者は安く入場することが可能でした。
けれど、ツアー参加者はそれぞれが個人料金を払わないと入場できないといわれて、全参加者がツアー・団体であるにもかかわらず、個人料金での入場になりました。
ガイドさんが受け付けにおいて、「23名入場です」といってくれたらそれだけで、全参加者が安く入場できただけに、残念に思えました。
ただ、私たちの参加日はたまたま20名以上であっただけで、日によっては20名に満たない日もあり、その場合は個人料金だと思います。ならば参加者募集のトップページにおいて、参加者の数によって入場料が変動すると明記されればよいだけなので、やはり改善の余地はあると思いました。

少しの残念さは残りましたが、短時間で効率的に要所を巡れて、ベテランガイドさんの説明も拝聴できる素晴らしいツアーだと思います。

I happened to find a tour site to go with my friends.
I was very satisfied with the tour!
Our destination was the Churaumi Aquarium!
It was my first time visiting the Churaumi Aquarium, and we were blessed with good weather. I really enjoyed such a dynamic aquarium with so much movement.
I wished we had a little more time to enjoy it.
The dolphin show was amazing, and I was surprised by the dolphins' abilities.
At Manzamo, as soon as we arrived, it started pouring rain, but miraculously, a beautiful big rainbow appeared.
At American Village, I was very satisfied that we could stretch our legs all the way to Sunset Beach!
I definitely want to participate again!
The staff welcomed us with smiles and thoughtful hospitality.
I would like to participate again.

友人と行くためにたまたま見つけたツアーサイトでした。
ツアー的になとても満足で良かったです!
わたし達の目的が、美ら海水族館でした!
美ら海水族館へ初めて行きましたが、お天気ににも恵まれ、大迫力でここまで動きがある水族館はとても楽しめました。
もう少し時間がほしいと思う楽しめました。
イルカショーではイルカの能力に驚きでした
次の
万座毛では到着した瞬間、大雨がふりましたが、逆に奇跡的に大きな虹がかかりとても綺麗でした。
アメリカンビレッジでは、サンセットビーチまて足を伸ばす事が出来とても満足でした!
また絶対参加したいです!
スタッフさんもいつも笑顔で思いやりのおもてなし頂きお出迎いして頂きました。
また、参加したいと思います。

  • お天気良ければ伊江島がきに見えます❤️

  • サンセットビーチもほっこりしました。

  • 大迫力です!

  • バスの目印です!

【ベストプライス】西表・由布・竹富島 日帰りツアー マングローブ遊覧+水牛車+選べる竹富島での過ごし方(レンタサイクル他)<1日/昼食付>

I had a great time. 楽しめました。

I participated alone, but it was a tour that I could enjoy even by myself. I was the only solo participant on the same tour.
On Taketomi Island, I chose cycling, and it was great to have the time to freely cycle around the island and choose my return ferry time at my convenience.

1人で参加しましたが、十分1人でも楽しめるツアーでした。同じツアーでの1人参加は私だけでした。
竹富島では、サイクリングを選択し自由に島1週できる時間はあり帰りのフェリーの時間も自由に選べてよかったです。

石垣島一周定期観光バス 川平湾や玉取崎展望台など島の名所をバスガイドの案内でひと巡り!眺めの良いレストランでランチ付き!<空港途中降車可/石垣島>

It is fulfilling in a short amount of time. 短時間で充実しています

I was looking forward to having a guide who was an older man, but it turned out to be a woman. She was very experienced and I was able to hear various stories, which was nice in its own way. She made sure to take us to photogenic spots and helped us take as many pictures as possible at Kabira Bay.

The time spent at each landmark was short, but given that we wanted to see as much as possible within the time frame, it couldn't be helped. On the plus side, we were able to visit many places, which was fulfilling.

Since this was my several visits to Ishigaki Island, there were places I had already been to, but there was also new information, so I never got bored.

おじいのガイドが楽しみだったんですが、女性の方でした。経験豊富で、いろんな話も聞けましたし、それはそれでよかったです。写真写りがいい場所だとか、川平湾でできるだけ写真が撮れるようにと配慮してくれました。
各名所での滞在時間が短いですが、時間内に回ろうと思えば仕方ないですね。その分、たくさんの場所に行けて充実しています。
何回目かの石垣島なので、既に行ったことがある場所もあったのですが、新情報もあって飽きることはなかったです。

I had a great time exploring the northern region of Okinawa in just one day. While it's nice to create your own plan and go around, I think taking a bus tour allows you to learn various information and enjoy efficient sightseeing!

1日で行きたい、沖縄北部地方を巡れて楽しかったです。
自分でプランを組んで回るのもいいですが、バスツアーで巡ると、色々な情報を知れるし効率の良い観光ができるなーと思います!

I made a reservation the day before. I heard that the "Uncle Guide" has days off, and we were lucky to have him on that day, but if you can choose your schedule, I recommend checking in advance to ensure that the Uncle Guide is available on the day you book.

The pamphlet was specifically for the tour, so it was very clear about where we were going next and how long it would take, which gave me a great sense of reassurance. Kabira Bay was as beautiful as I had heard, but personally, I preferred Tamatorizaki Observatory!! It was incredibly beautiful even in October.

The Uncle Guide's explanations were very easy to understand and entertaining, so I found myself completely absorbed. Along the way, he played the sanshin and sang Yaeyama folk songs! I was really glad it was an Uncle Guide day (*・∀・*).

If I had to mention something, it would be that the Uncle Guide's voice was sometimes a bit quiet (I heard that people from Okinawa generally have soft voices), so it might be better to sit in the front seats of the bus.

前日に予約しました。「おじさんガイド」はお休みの日もあるとのこと、私たちはなまたまその日おじさんガイドでラッキーでしたが、日程を選べる場合はあらかじめ問い合わせて、おじさんガイドがお休みでない日に予約されることをお勧めします。
パンフレットがツアー専用なので、次はどこに行くのか、どれぐらいかかるかなど全て分かりやすく、非常に安心感のあるツアーでした。川平湾は聞いていた通りの綺麗さでしたが、それよりも個人的には玉取崎展望台がよかった!!10月なのにすごく綺麗です。

おじさんガイドの説明もすごく分かりやすく、かつ面白いので、ついつい聞き入ってしまいます。途中では三線を引かながら八重山の民謡を歌ってくださいます!本当におじさんガイドの日でよかったです(*・∀・*)

強いていうのであれば、おじさんガイドはたまに声が小さいので(沖縄の方は皆さん声が小さいと伺いました)、バスの前の席に座った方がいいかもしれません。

A tour that captures the best parts of Iriomote Island, Yubu Island, and Taketomi Island. The time allocation was just right, with no waiting times or idle moments, making it a very good tour. The mangrove cruise on Iriomote Island was especially enjoyable. On the ox cart ride to Yubu Island, the guide treated us to a beautiful song! I didn't have high expectations for the lunch since it was a bento box, but it turned out to be delicious, featuring several local Okinawan specialties. I couldn't finish the rice, so I wish I had gone with a bigger appetite!

西表島、由布島、竹富島のいいところだけを切り取ったツアー。時間配分もちょうどよく、特に待ち時間や暇な時間、あるいは足りない時間などがなかった、とてもよいツアーでした。西表島のマングローブクルーズが特に楽しかったです。由布島までの牛車では、ガイドさんが綺麗な歌声を披露してくださいました!昼食はお弁当ということであまり期待していませんでしたが、沖縄の名物が何種類も入った美味しいお弁当でした。お米が食べ切れなかったので、もっとお腹を空かせてから行けばよかったと思います笑

Mt. Fuji Tour from Tokyo with Lake Kawaguchi, Oshino Hakkai & Ninja Village

Fun day

Reviewed by: Chris

Although the weather completely obstructed our view of Fuji, this tour was a good way to get an insight into the mountain and visit some cool places around the area. The 4D ride was definitely a highlight, however the lunch was fairly average. Our guide was knowledgeable, personable, and funny and made it a great trip overall. I will be booking other tours with this company during my stay in Japan!

Thank you for joining our tour,
We are happy to hear that! We hope you have a lot of memories in Japan

I had an amazing time!! The guide was fantastic!! The weather was great too, just perfect!!

I was planning to visit a remote island, so my stay in Ishigaki Island was short, and I was wondering what to do when I found this tour. The price was reasonable, and I thought, "What could it be like?" So I decided to join, and it was the right choice!!

The lunch at the restaurant with a great view was delicious as well. Thank you very much.

すごく楽しかったです‼️
ガイドさんも最高‼️
お天気も良くて、最高‼️

離島に渡る予定でしたので、石垣島の滞在時間が短くて、どうしようかなぁと思っているところにこのツアーを見つけました。
お値段も安いし、どんなもんかな❓と、参加してみたら、大正解‼️

眺めの良いレストランでのお昼ごはんも美味しかったです。
ありがとうござました。
