All Reviews for Bus Tours

It was my first trip to Osaka, and I took a bus journey from Osaka to Kyoto. Most of the passengers were foreigners, and there were only two Japanese people, so I was a bit anxious at first. However, there was a guide speaking in Japanese, which made it feel like I was in a foreign country, and I had a great time. The places the guide recommended for souvenirs and tea were spot on. I would definitely like to use this service again on my next trip.

初めての大阪の旅行で大阪から京都のバスの旅でした。海外の方がほとんどで日本人は2人だけで最初は不安でしたが、日本語でのガイドもあり異国にいるような感覚でとても楽しかったです。ガイドの方の言われたたとおりにお土産の場所やお茶の場所とか教えていただいた所がバッチリでした。
また旅行の際は使いたいと思いました。

I was unsure about where to visit in Osaka, especially around Umeda. However, in just one hour, I discovered some places to see near Umeda. Of course, Osaka Castle is a must-see, but I also found out that there was an outdoor concert at Nakanoshima, so I decided to check it out. While it's fun to create a detailed travel plan with a guidebook, I was able to experience the excitement of choosing seasonal attractions.

大阪はどこを見たら良いか迷っていました。特に、梅田近辺を見物するのに。そこで、この1時間で梅田付近の見たいところを発見。もちろん、大阪城は外せませんが、中之島で屋外コンサートがあることが分かり行ってみることとしました。ガイドブックで細かく旅行プランを作るのも楽しいですが、旬な観光を選べる謳い文句を体験できました。

The tour ended in the blink of an eye, but I chose this one because a full-day tour would have been too long. I really wanted to visit Sefa Utaki, so I was able to enjoy it even in a short amount of time. I would like to take my time exploring again when I go to Okinawa.

あっという間にツアーは終わってしまいましたが、1日のツアーでは長すぎでこちらにしました。斎場御嶽にはどうしても行きたかったので、短い時間でも堪能できました。また沖縄へ行ったらゆっくりと周りたいです。

I was able to efficiently tour the southern region. The guide was experienced, and I was able to deepen my understanding of Okinawa. At the Sefa Utaki, I felt a glimpse of Okinawa's unique culture that reveres nature.

The Himeyuri Monument allowed me to deeply learn about the historical facts of Okinawa, which became a sacrifice for the mainland. In this era, where the vow for peace is beginning to waver due to reflections on the past, I believe it is a place that everyone should see.

効率よく南部を観光できました。ガイドさんはベテランで沖縄に対して理解を深めることができました。斎場御嶽では自然を崇拝する沖縄独自の文化の一端を感じられたと思います。
ひめゆりの塔は本土にための犠牲になった沖縄の史実を深く知ることができ、過去への反省からの不戦への誓いが揺らぎ始めている今の時代誰もが見ておかなければいけないところだと思いました。

You can participate with peace of mind even if you're traveling alone. The guide was very enjoyable, and there was no feeling of being rushed; we were able to take our time (＾_＾). I'm very satisfied!

一人旅でも安心して参加出来ます
ガイドさんも、とても楽しく
時間に追われる感じもなく、ゆっくりまわれました（＾_＾）
大満足です！

Our guide in trying to be funny, came across bossy and rude, and in trying to be punctual left 4 guests behind on Mt Fuji albeit they were 10 min late. We had too little time at each destination except the 4D experience, which was the longest part of the day at a theme park! I didn't pay for a Fuji tour to be at a theme park. Most of the commentary was played on an autoguide with the exception of pointing out a few landmarks along the way. Not worth the money.

We didn't have the courage to rent a car for our three-generation trip with my mother and daughter, so we used this service. We were able to efficiently visit the sightseeing points, and the guide kept us entertained on the bus, allowing us to have a wonderful time.

母と娘での三世代旅行で、レンタカーを利用する勇気がなかったので、利用させてあただきました。
観光ポイントを効率よく回れ、バス内でもガイドさんが楽しませてくれて、とても良い時間を過ごすことが出来ました。

The weather was favorable, and the conditions were perfect. I wish I had a little more time. I thought it would be good to combine the Umeda route and the Namba route.

天気にも恵まれ、最高のコンディションでした。もう少し時間があればなと思いました。
うめだルートとなんばルートを合体させたルートでもよいと思いました。

I was prepared for crowds during the holiday, but thanks to the planning by White Link, I’m not sure if that was the reason, but I didn’t get caught in traffic and everywhere wasn’t too crowded. I enjoyed the autumn leaves, the snow-covered Hakusan mountain range, and the waterfalls along the White Road, and everything was lucky with the clear weather. The staff were friendly and were helpful to foreign tourists. It felt really nice.

連休中日で混雑を覚悟していましたが、ホワイトリンクの計画のおかげかは分からないけれど渋滞にまきこまれることなく何処もそれ程混んでいなかった。ホワイトロードで紅葉、雪化粧の白山連峰、滝、を楽しみ、快晴ですべてラッキーでした。スタッフは気さくで外国人観光客の相談に乗っていました。とてもいい感じでした。

I chose this bus tour for a one-day sightseeing trip in Okinawa. The course was mainly focused on the Churaumi Aquarium, which was my top destination, while heading north along the coastline. The sea along the way was indeed beautiful, and I never got bored during the journey. It was a well-organized tour that allowed me to leisurely explore some cultural heritage sites that are surprisingly not well-known.

沖縄1日観光のためこのバスツアーを選んだ。海岸沿いを北上し一番の目的地美ら海水族館をメインにしたコースでした。途中の海も流石にきれいで道中飽きることはない。
意外に知られていない文化遺産にもゆっくりと見物できうまく組まれたツアーだった。

The explanations about mangroves and living creatures were clear and enjoyable. It was a tour with a long free time on Yubu Island, so I was able to see various plants throughout the island. The water buffaloes were cute! The ice cream, cake, and coffee at the café on the island were excellent.

マングローブや生き物の説明がわかりやすく、楽しかったです。由布島での自由時間が長いツアーだったので、島全体の植物を色々見ることができました。水牛がかわいい！島にあるカフェのアイスとケーキ、コーヒーが最高でした。

I was satisfied with how efficiently everything was organized! Since some time is spent on travel, I think it's good to get a feel for the place on the first visit and then take your time on your favorite island during your next visit!

無駄なくキッチリ周る感じで満足でした！
ちょっと移動時間に時間が取られるので、初回はこれで雰囲気を掴んで
次回訪問時には気に入った島にゆっくりするのも良いと思います！

You can efficiently visit the main tourist spots. I think it's a recommended tour for beginners in Okinawa. The timing is just right too.

主要な観光地を効率よく回れます。
沖縄初心者には、おすすめのツアーだと思いますよ。
時間的にも、ちょうどいい。

This tour was an easy, comfortable and inexpensive way to see places if you don’t have a car.
As advertised, the commentary is in Japanese (and there is a LOT of commentary!) and the English headphone commentary could barely be heard. We don’t speak Japanese but the lovely guide always made sure we knew where to go and when to be back on board the bus.

We enjoyed it very much --had a great time --the tour guide was --plan to come back soon

I chose to visit Sefa Utaki, and considering the price, it was absolutely worth it. I think it's a big plus that we could enter Sefa Utaki early in the morning as soon as it opened. There was prior notice, but since there are various entrance fees at different places, it's necessary to be prepared for that.

What was unexpected was that I had planned to go to the beach and visit the seaside café (it was late October, but it wasn't a Monday), and there seemed to be no sign of the café being open. However, I didn't know until I got there that I could ride a glass-bottom boat (of course, there was an additional fee), so it turned out well in the end.

I was disappointed that although the guide shared many interesting things during the trip, when we passed through the field of illuminated chrysanthemums, I wasn't given any information about it (I found out by searching on my own in the car). It was a missed opportunity; it would have been better if I had received just a little information about it.

Because of those two points, I deducted one star, but if I have the chance to visit Okinawa again, I would definitely like to use this service once more. It was also lucky that the hotel I was staying at was a pickup point.

斎場御嶽に行きたくて選びましたが、料金を考えたら全く申し分ないです。
朝早く、開いてすぐの斎場御嶽に入れるのもポイント高いと思います。
事前に告知がありましたが、あちこち行った先でちょこちょこと入場料などかかるのでそれは用意が必要です。
想定外だったのは、選択でビーチの方を選んで海カフェに行くつもりでいたのですが（10月下旬でしたが月曜日ではなかったです）カフェが営業している気配がなかったこと。
でも、現地に行くまで知らなかったけどグラスボートに乗れた（もちろん別途料金ありですが）ので結果オーライでした。
残念に思ったのは、道中もいろんなことをガイドしていただけて興味深かったし楽しかったけど、電照菊の畑の中を通った時に特に何も教えてもらえなかったこと（車中で自分で検索して知りました）。これはもったいないです、ひとこと教えていただけたらもっと良かったです。
その2点があったので☆ひとつマイナスですが、次また沖縄に行く機会があったら、何とか都合をつけてもう一度利用したいです。
宿泊していたホテルがピックアップポイントになっていたのもラッキーでした。

Covers several interesting sites plus aquarium, great for. first rime visitors, enjoyed very much, hotel pickup is heloful.

The day before, I walked around a lot and ended up more tired than I expected... I didn't think much about it when I signed up, but the bus after walking around is highly recommended. (laughs)

This trip had a short duration, but I was able to visit many places, so I’m very satisfied!! I also encountered the monkeys and deer of Yakushima, and I was able to soak in the negative ions from the waterfalls, making it a truly refreshing trip.

前日は色々歩き回ったのですが、思った以上に疲れてしまい、、、申し込んだ時はそんなに考えてなかったのですが、歩き回った後のバスは凄くおすすめです。笑

今回の旅は滞在期間が短かったのですが、まとめて巡れたので大満足！！屋久島の猿や鹿達にも出会え、滝のマイナスイオンも浴びて、ほんとリフレッシュできた旅になりました。

The trip was perfectly timed with great tour guide. We made our flight on time.

Okay. A fair bit of time in the morning waiting but that's to be expected in such a big city where everyone is coming from different places. Wouldn't really recommend for solo travelers. A little bit isolating at lunch as everyone is put to sit with their groups. Other tours would be better if you're on your own, and the spots are easily accessible on your own by subway.

Departing in a somewhat mysterious space among foreigners! Everyone was friendly, and it felt fresh, as if I were in another country. The driver and the guide were also very refreshing. The step platform for getting in and out of the car was appreciated. The explanations from Japanese to English made me feel like I understood a bit of English, which was quite an enjoyable experience.

外国人の方に混じって、ちょっと不思議な空間で出発！
皆さんフレンドリーで何処の国にいるのやら……新鮮でした。
運転手さんも、ガイドさんもとても新鮮でした。車の昇降にステップ台は有り難かったです。
日本語から英語での説明は英語がちょっと理解できた気がしてなかなか楽しい経験でした。

This is my second trip to Okinawa, but it's my first time visiting the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. This time, I signed up specifically for the aquarium. We were able to relax in a spacious bus, and the guide was excellent. The explanations were clear, and they sang beautifully. The views of Kadena Air Base and Manza Beach were impressive and very lovely. The lunch at the aquarium was a buffet, allowing us to enjoy a variety of Okinawan dishes. I also enjoyed the atmosphere of American Village. It was a full-day bus tour, but with such a pleasant guide, I was never bored. I want to introduce this to my friends next time.

2回目の沖縄旅行ですが、美ら海水族館は初めてです。今回は美ら海水族館目的で申し込みました。大型バスでゆったり座れて、なんといっても、ガイドさんが良かった。案内もわかりやすく、歌も上手です。嘉手納基地や万座毛も迫力があり、とても素敵でした。美ら海水族館でのランチもビュッフェ形式で、様々な種類の沖縄料理を堪能できました。アメリカンビレッジの雰囲気も楽しめました。丸一日のバスツアーでしたが、感じの良いガイドさんが一緒だったので飽きずに過ごすことができました。今度は友人に紹介したいです。

On October 5th, I participated in the tour on its starting day. Since it was the first day of the tour, the guide seemed a bit nervous, but they were very kind and attentive, which was helpful. Additionally, there weren't many participants, and everyone kept to the meeting time, making it quite comfortable and almost on schedule.

At the Kadena Road Station, unfortunately, we couldn't see any military aircraft take off or land, but we were able to overlook a base that we usually don't see, which made me reflect on Okinawa's position.

The Ocean Expo Park was very crowded with school trip students and tourists from abroad, but there was enough time to see the main attractions. We were able to watch the dolphin show, but I found the show itself a bit lacking.

I visited Manzamo for the first time and was overwhelmed by the magnificent scenery.

As for American Village, I felt that the time spent there and the facilities were somewhat inadequate for me.

Overall, I think it was a convenient and enjoyable tour that allowed us to easily visit famous places in Okinawa with different attractions.

10月5日、当ツアー開始日に参加。
当日は、ツアー初日と言う事もあり、ガイドさんも少しナーバスになっていらっしゃいましたが、大変親切・丁寧にガイドして頂け助かりました。また、参加者が多くなく、皆集合時間を守り、ほぼ時間通りで快適でした。
嘉手納道の駅では残念ながら軍用機の離発着は見られませんでしたが、普段目にすることが無い基地を俯瞰でき、沖縄のおかれている位置づけを考えさせられました。
海洋博物館は、修学旅行生や海外からのツアー客で大変混んでいましたが、メインの場所を見て回るには十分な時間でした。イルカのショーも見ることが出来ましたが、ショー自体は少し物足りなかったです。
万座毛は、初めて行きましたがとても雄大な景色に圧倒されました。
アメリカンビレッジは、滞在時間と施設が自分にとっては中途半端かなと思いました。

総合的には、沖縄の趣向の違う有名な所を手軽に回ることができる、楽ちんな良いツアーだと思いました。

After looking into it, I decided to go with this option because it was cheaper than going on my own. Above all, the staff took care of all the arrangements, including tickets, so I could enjoy myself without any worries.

Taketomi Island is definitely a place you should visit if you're coming to Ishigaki Island (o^^o).

Thank you for the wonderful time!

調べてみると自分で行くよりもお安くてこちらに決めました。
何よりチケットなど手配をすべてスタッフさんがしてくれるので、迷うことなく何も考えずに安心して楽しめました。

竹富島は石垣島まで来たなら絶対行くべき島です(o^^o)

楽しい時間をありがとうございました。

As most things in Tokyo and Japan in general, it was on time, clean and quite organised. Pick up point was not hard to find even coming from Ikebukuro. English definitely available as one of the languages on the head set. The stops and collection points were all properly, clearly identified. Really, it is the best way to see Tokyo! nothing beats it.

The water buffalo cart ride lasts about 30 minutes, and it was well-organized, which was great. At first, I thought it was unnecessary, but it turned out to be surprisingly fun.

As for using a bicycle, if you want to see the Nishi-Sanbashi and the village, I think walking is better. However, if you're going to Kaiji Beach or Kondoi Beach, a bicycle is necessary.

I stayed for one night, but since bicycles need to be returned by 5 PM, I think I should have considered that.

It seems that for early morning ferries, you can take any of the Dream Tourism boats.

水牛車は30分ほどですが話がまとまっていて良かったです。
最初は要らないと思っていましたが、思いのほか楽しかったです。

自転車を利用するかですが、西桟橋や集落内を見たいなら徒歩の方がいいと思いました。
カイジ浜・コンドイビーチまで行くなら自転車等は必要です。

一泊しましたが、自転車は17時返却なので、
そこは検討すれば良かったと思いました。

船は早朝便等でも、ドリーム観光の船ならどれでも乗れるようです。

Были сегодня на очень хорошей экскурсии к знаменитой горе Фуджи.Хотя погода была неважная,временами шел дождь,но все равно мы получили большое удовольствие и от потрясающих видов,и от замечательного гида Артема (Ари),который скрашивал нам переезды от одного объекта к другому,и от вкусного ланча,который подавали в деревне ниндзя. А в конце мы поучаствовали в виртуальном полете над Фуджи,во время которого было полная иллюзия полета на скоростном самолете и на малой высоте, и с большой скоростью,с виражами и даже мертвой петлей.В общем мы остались очень довольны,график выполнялся неукоснительно,никто не опаздывал,Ари вел экскурсию на английском и японском и еща давал нам иногда пояснения на русском.Рекомендую всем,кто хочет познакомиться с самой знаменитой достопримечательнсотью Японии.

My first trip to Naha, Okinawa
I chose this tour because I was traveling alone.
Veteran guide Erika Ooshiro!
She is truly a wonderful guide.
Not only was her guidance excellent, but the entertainment on the bus was fantastic, especially her voice acting during the kamishibai storytelling—she could be a professional!
I was amazed and moved by her proper greetings and the bow she gave before and after her explanations.
When returning to the bus, both the driver and the guide welcomed us each time, and I was touched by their heartfelt hospitality.
I will be going again in the spring, so I look forward to it!

初めての沖縄那覇の旅
ひとり旅だったのでこのツアーを選びました。
ベテランガイドの大城エリカさん！
素晴らしいガイドさんの一言です
案内は勿論のことバス内でのエンターテイメントが素晴らしい、特に紙芝居の声の使い方プロになっても良いくらいです
きちんとした挨拶に加え説明の前後には一礼するのはびっくり感動‼️
バスへ戻る時もドライバーとガイドさんがその都度お出迎えしてくれておもてなしの真心に心うたれました。
また春にも行くので宜しくお願いします。

This time, I used a bus tour for my solo trip. It was great to be able to circle around Ishigaki Island, and the guide's explanations were enjoyable and easy to understand, with lovely singing as well. I was able to learn things that I wouldn't have known without the bus tour, which was very nice. I thoroughly enjoyed my solo trip. Thank you very much.

今回、一人旅ということでバスツアーを利用させていただきました。石垣島を一周できて、ガイドさんの説明も楽しかったり分かりやすく、歌も素敵でした。バスツアーではないとわからない事も聞けてとても良かったです。
一人旅満喫できました。ありがとうございました。

It was my second trip to Osaka after 10 years, and since I didn't know anything about the city, it was great to be able to see the town while listening to the guide's stories. A typhoon was approaching, but the bus had a roof, so we didn't get wet in the rain. I think it would have been tough to walk around in the rain for a long time, so it was nice to be able to tour the area in a short time by bus.

大阪は、10年ぶりの二度目の旅行でしたが、大阪について何も知らないので、ガイドさんのお話を聞きながら、町を見ることができてよかったです。台風が来ていましたが、バスは屋根付きで雨にぬれずにすみました。雨の中、ずっと歩くのは大変だったと思うので、バスで短時間でまわることができたのはよかったです。
