All Reviews for Bus Tours

I was seated at the very front of the bus. Next to the tour guide, Mr. Yagyu, I received constant recommendations and advice. Thanks to him, every time we arrived at a sightseeing spot, he was the first to inform us about the best viewpoints and recommended local cuisine. Despite the tight schedule, I was able to enjoy a fulfilling day trip bus tour. Thank you very much.

添乗員の柳生さんの隣で、絶えずお勧め情報をアドバイスしてもらえました。お陰で見学場所に着くたびに、絶景ポイントやお勧めグルメを真っ先に教えてもらったので、ハードなスケジュールにもかかわらず
充実した日帰りバスツアーを楽しむことができました。ありがとうございました。

It was a very good bus tour. The guide spoke three languages and was very kind, which made me feel at ease. If I have the opportunity, I will participate in a different tour as well. Thank you for the wonderful tour.

とても良いバスツアーでした。
ガイドの方も3カ国語を話されて
とても親切で安心しました
また、機会があれば違うツアーなどに
参加させてもらいますね
素晴らしいツアーを
ありがとうございました。

It was a lot of fun with plenty to see. I attended with an elderly person with disabilities, and the tour guide was very kind, allowing us to enjoy the experience without any issues! However, I struggled with making the reservation from an unfamiliar smartphone, and since I was traveling with someone with disabilities, I couldn't find the section to indicate our seating preferences. I apologize for the trouble I caused the tour guide on the day of the event. It would be helpful to have a contact number for inquiries. The attentiveness and explanations from our tour guide, Mr. Yagyu, were also excellent.

見所盛りだくさんで楽しかったです。
高齢の障害者を連れて参加しましたが、添乗員さんに親切にして頂き無事楽しむ事が出来ました！
ただ、慣れないスマホからの予約で障害者がいる為座席の希望を記入する場所が分からず、当日添乗員さんに苦労をおかけしました。せめて問い合わせ用の電話があったら有難いです。　添乗員の柳生さんの気配りも説明も素晴らしかったです。

Nine elderly participants joined the tour. The tour guide, Mr. Yanagiu, and the driver were very kind to us. We had plenty of time for sightseeing and were able to enjoy ourselves. I live in Hokkaido, but I would like to participate again if I have the opportunity.

9名年配者ばかりで参加しました。添乗員の柳生さんドライバーさんに親切にして頂きました。観光の時間は充分にあり楽しむ事ができました。私は北海道に住んでいますが、また機会があれば参加したいと思っています。

I considered going to the dinosaur museum on my own, but I'm glad I chose the bus tour. I felt that the Great Buddha of Echizen didn't convey much history, and I think it would be better to include other sightseeing spots.

恐竜博物館へ個人で行くことも考えたが、バスツアーにしてよかった。越前大仏は歴史を感じられず、ほかの観光地を組み込んだ方が良いと思った。

You can efficiently tour with a guided bus. It would have been better if we had a bit more time at Eiheiji. Since it was an afternoon tour, it was easy to use.

ガイド付きバスで効率よくまわれます。永平寺はもう少し時間があるとよかった。午後からのツアーだったので利用しやすかった。

I visited Hida Takayama and Shirakawa-go. I joined the tour mainly for Shirakawa-go, but I found Hida Takayama to be more enjoyable than I expected, so I'm glad I chose this tour. The long-awaited Shirakawa-go was a wonderful place! The scenery was beautiful, the buildings were educational, and I got to enjoy some delicious pudding. I was able to efficiently sightsee in just one day, so I would love to participate again.

飛騨高山と白川郷を巡りました。白川郷目当てで参加していたので、飛騨高山が予想よりも楽しくてこのツアーにして良かったと思いました。念願の白川郷はとても良いところでした！景色が美しく、建物は勉強になりましたし、美味しいプリンも食べられました。1日で効率良く観光できたので、また参加したいです。

I was initially worried because there were many people from overseas, but they made an effort to provide explanations in Japanese, and I had a great time. I was surprised by the large crowd, but I was satisfied that I could visit various places.

海外の方も多かったので初めは不安でしたが日本語の説明も頑張ってやっていただいて楽しい時間が過ごせました　人が多いのに驚きましたが色んな所に行けて満足です

I had a very pleasant time crossing to the island on a water buffalo while listening to island songs. The mangrove cruise was also well explained and enjoyable. Exploring Taketomi Island on foot was challenging due to the heat, so I recommend renting a bicycle.

水牛でゆったりと島へ渡り　島唄も聴きながらとても気持ちの良い時間が過ごせました。マングローブのクルーズも上手に説明して頂き楽しかったです。竹富島は歩きでしたが、暑さもあり大変でした。　レンタサイクルがおすすめです。

I had a great time with the guide who spoke in Japanese, English, and also Chinese 😊. The view from the Shakotan Peninsula was beautiful, and I had plenty of time for free activities in Otaru, so I could explore without feeling rushed. The meeting place was at the Tokyu Rei Hotel, which was close to my hotel in Susukino, making it easy to find. Thank you very much! 💖😆

ガイドさんが日本語、英語、あと中国語で話してくださり楽しかったです😊
積丹半島からの景色も良かったし小樽での自由行動も時間がたっぷりあって焦らず行動できました
集合場所も東急レイホテルでススキノのホテルに泊まっていたので近くで分かりやすく助かりました
ありがとうございました💖😆

I have visited Kyoto many times, but traveling alone can be challenging due to bus transfers and lack of research. However, with a tour like this, it's easy. For places I had visited before, I was allowed to explore freely, while I was guided to places I had never been. The guide entertained us with unique English as well.

何度も京都に来ていますが、個人だとバスの乗り継ぎやリサーチ不足で大変ですが、このようなツアーだと楽です。以前行ったことのある所は自由行動にしてもらい行ったことのない場所を案内してもらいました。ガイドさんもユニークな英語で楽しませてもらいました。

The bus staff were kind and it was great 😊 I was healed by the scenery of Shirakawa-go and had a wonderful trip. Thank you!

バスの関係者の方が親切で良かったです😊
また白川郷の景観に癒されて良い旅ができました、ありがとうございます

It’s difficult to explore Mishima in a day on your own, so I joined a tour. Since it was my husband's first time in Ishigaki Island, he was satisfied with this packed tour, and I was also pleased that I signed up for it.

個人では三島を一日で回るのは難しいので、ツアーに参加しました。
夫は初めての石垣島なので、ギュっと詰め込んだこのツアーに満足してくれて申し込んだ私も満足でした。

I searched several places and found a good restaurant. I was able to eat in the best condition by grilling it myself. I was also satisfied with the soba that came as a set.

何軒か探して良い店を見つけました。自分で焼くのが一番良いコンディションで食べられました。蕎麦もセットで満足できました。

It was a tour that focused on the Churaumi Aquarium and visited several sightseeing spots. Since it was my first tour and I had a guide for the whole day, I was able to enjoy sightseeing safely. The journey was by bus, so I could enjoy the scenery and check out souvenirs to buy, making good use of my time. On the way back, there was traffic, but I got tired and fell asleep, so I returned safely.

美ら海水族館メインで観光スポットを数カ所巡るツアーでした。
初ツアーで1日の案内して頂けたので安全に観光出来ました。
バスの中での旅でしたので景色を楽しんだり購入するお土産の確認したり時間を有意義に使えました。
帰りは渋滞でしたが疲れて寝てしまい安全に帰れました。

The tour itself was very satisfying, but I was quite disappointed with the morning gathering and the reception. The reason for this is that since I booked through VELTRA, I was continuously searching for a staff member holding a sign or a small flag with the VELTRA name in the entrance lobby of the hotel where we were supposed to meet. In the end, I had to approach a staff member holding a small flag that said "EASY GO," and that turned out to be the staff for the VELTRA tour I had booked. Moreover, that staff member never entered the entrance lobby as previously indicated; they remained on the sidewalk in front of the hotel the whole time. If I hadn't approached them and the meeting time had passed, I might not have been able to check in. I believe it was necessary for the staff to hold a small flag with the VELTRA name and to be present in the hotel entrance lobby as specified.

ツアーそのものは、大変満足のいく内容だったのですが、朝の集合〜受付の対応はとても残念でした。
その理由としては、VELTRAで申し込んだため、集合場所だったホテルのエントランスロビーで、VELTRAの掲示や社名が書かれた小旗を持ったスタッフをずっと探していたのですが、最終的には、"EASY GO"と書かれた小旗を持ったスタッフに、こちらから声掛けして、それが申し込んだVELTRAのツアーのものでした。しかも、そのスタッフは、事前に案内されていたエントランスロビーに入ってくることはなく、ずっとホテル前の歩道でした。
もし、こちらから声掛けすることなく、集合時刻を過ぎていたら、チェックインできなかったかもしれません。
スタッフは、申し込みをしたVELTRAの社名の入った小旗を持つこと、集合場所とされたホテルのエントランスロビーにいること、は、必要だったと思います。

The tour guide explained everything very well. The bus ride was nice, but unfortunately, it rained almost all day due to circumstances beyond our control. I understand that it wasn't the travel agency's or the tour guide's fault, but it's hard to say it was the best tour ever because of that.

添乗員さんはとてもよく説明してくれました。バス中はよかったのですが、不可抗力の雨がほぼ終日降りまして残念でした。旅行社や添乗員さんの問題ではないのはわかっているのですが、最高のツアーでしたとはならないのも致し方ないかと。

This tour offers the best cost-performance for a one-day sightseeing trip, including hotel pick-up and lunch, making it better than renting a car! Especially on the way to the Seibu Forest Road and Yakusugi Land, there are extremely narrow roads where only one car can barely fit, so it's better to avoid it unless you're very confident in your driving skills. I was impressed by the driver's technique. The guide was also knowledgeable and a great speaker, so the day flew by!

1日観光で、ホテル送迎、昼付きなので、レンタカー借りるよりコスパ最高のツアーです！特に、西部林道やヤクスギランドに向かう道は、車一台がやっとの超狭い道あるので、よほど運転に自信のある人以外はやめたほうが良いです。ドライバーさんのテクニックには脱帽でした。ガイドさんも、知識豊富で話し上手な方でしたので、1日があっという間でした！

How's the weather?

I applied about a month ago and was looking forward to it! We were blessed with the perfect weather—neither too hot nor too cold, with gentle winds, making it a wonderful day. The shiba-zakura (moss phlox) blooming all over the mountains created a beautiful pink world. The tulips were impeccably maintained and greeted us with their stunning stature.

This time, I participated with my elderly mother (I’m a senior myself—laughs). Our guide was a kind young man from Taiwan, who spoke several languages fluently while explaining things (amazing!).

He asked us multiple times if we wanted to take pictures together, but I declined out of fear of how I would look in the photos. Looking back, I regret not having taken a picture from a distance where my wrinkles wouldn’t show—laughs.

If there’s another opportunity, I would definitely like to join again! Thank you so much for a wonderful day. I truly appreciate it!

お天気はどうかな？〜と
1ヶ月ほど前に申し込みして楽しみにしていました♪
暑くもなく寒くもなく風も穏やかな最高のお天気に恵まれ、素晴らしい1日になりました♡
山一面に咲く芝桜は満開でピンク色の世界が美しかったです╰(*´︶`*)╯♡
チューリップは見事なまでに手入れされており、美しい立ち姿で迎えてくれました♡
今回は高齢の母と2人で参加させて頂きました。（私自身もシニアです〜笑）
ガイドさんは台湾出身の優しいお兄さん。
数カ国語を流暢に操り説明していらっしゃいました。（素晴らしい）
現地で、お二人で写真撮りませんか？と何度も声をかけて下さいましたが、ありのままの自分が写真に映し出される恐怖でお断りしてしまいましたm(__)m
今思えば、遠くから（シワが見えない距離で）記念に撮っていただけば良かったな〜と後悔しています（笑）
また、機会があれば是非お願いしますね♡
素晴らしい1日を本当に有り難うございました♪感謝♪

This time, I was the only Japanese participant, which made me feel like I was joining an optional tour abroad. However, for someone like me who wanted to enjoy some alone time, it was a very satisfying tour.

Our guide, Lisa, is a quadrilingual who speaks Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and English. She provided me with attentive support in Japanese throughout the tour, and I am truly grateful for that!

I was thrilled to finally see the Great Buddha, and after enjoying delicious seafood, I was able to relax in a hot spring at the end, making it a very meaningful day.

Next time, I would love to participate during the lavender or snowy season. Thank you for a wonderful time!

今回まさかの日本人ひとりということで、まるで海外のオプショナルツアーに参加しているような感覚でしたが、ひとり時間を満喫したい私にとっては大満足のツアーでした。

ガイドのLisaさんは、日本語・中国語・韓国語・英語を話せるクワドリンガルで、たったひとりの参加だった私にも終始日本語で丁寧にサポートしてくださり、本当に感謝しています！

念願だった頭大仏を実際に見ることができて大感激でしたし、美味しい海産物を堪能した後、最後には温泉まで楽しめて、とても有意義な1日になりました。

次回はぜひ、ラベンダーや雪の季節にも参加してみたいです。素敵な時間をありがとうございました！

We were able to visit four places by bus, and lunch was included. Despite the cold, we were able to enjoy Kyoto comfortably and happily. Maria's guiding explanation was perfect! I plan to join another tour in June during the hydrangea season.

バスで4箇所も回れ、お昼付き。
寒い中寒さもしのげラクに楽しく京都をまわれました。マリアさんのガイド説明も完璧でした！また6月紫陽花時期に別のツアーに参加予定です。

There were many foreigners, and only a few Japanese participants. There were explanations in three languages, and the meeting times were displayed each time, making it easy to understand. No one was late to the meeting points, so everything went smoothly. However, the meeting place in Nagoya in the morning was a bit hard to find.

Takayama and Shirakawa-go were popular and crowded, but Gujo Hachiman was calm. Generally, the sightseeing at each location was free, but if you chose to explore the town of Gujo Hachiman, you could have a guide. In Shirakawa-go, there was advice on how to get around within the time limit, and the view from the high ground was more wonderful than I expected.

外国人が多く、日本人は数組でした。
3カ国語で説明があり、集合時間も毎回表示していたのでわかりやすかったです。
各所の集合に遅れる人はいなかったので、スムーズでした。
ただ朝の名古屋の集合場所がわかりにくいです。

高山と白川郷は人気の場所で混雑していましたが、郡上八幡は落ち着いてました。基本は各所フリー観光ですが、郡上八幡の街の散策を選んだらガイドしてもらえました。
白川郷では時間内でどう回ればよいかアドバイスがあり、高台からの景色は思った以上に素晴らしかったです。

The moss phlox was in full bloom and it was amazing. The moss phlox soft serve was also delicious. The tulips were beautiful too! I experienced digging up tulips and brought some home to display.

芝桜満開で最高でした。
芝桜ソフトもおいしかった。
チューリップも綺麗でした！
チューリップ掘り起こし体験して持って帰って飾ってます。

It was a tour for foreigners, but everyone was punctual for the meeting time, and the bus was not noisy. There were two Japanese guides who were very considerate, making it an enjoyable bus tour. Thank you very much. The driver was also very skilled and drove safely.

外人向けのツワーでしたが、集合時間も皆さんよく守られ車内もやかましくはなかった　ガイドさん日本人は私たち二人でしたが気を遣ってくださり楽しいバスツアーでした　ありがとうございました　ドライバーの方も非常に上手で安全運転でした

The guide's explanations were easy to understand, which was great. Mirai-kun the water buffalo also did a great job. My father's sanshin performance was very good as well. They even sang the tortoise and the hare for my grandchild, who was very happy and danced along. I made wonderful memories.

ガイドさんの説明も分かりやすくてよかったです
水牛のミライ君も頑張ってくれでした　お父さんの三線もとても良かったです　また孫の為にうさぎと亀まで歌っていただいてとても喜んで踊ってました
素敵な思い出ができました

I signed up for a free plan on Taketomi Island, rented a bicycle, and went to the star sand beach. It was during the rainy season, but the weather was clear during the tour, making it very pleasant for cycling. We were able to reach the beach in a short amount of time, making effective use of our time, and I highly recommend it. I enjoyed exploring and experiencing various things around the three islands.

竹富島はフリープランに申し込み、レンタサイクルして、星の砂浜に行きました。梅雨でしたが、ツアー中は、天気も晴れ、とても気持ち良く、サイクリングでき、時間も短時間で、浜にいけて、時間を有効に使い、オススメです。
3島周り、色々見て、体験してインジョイできました。

Iriomote Island and Yufu Island were great, but when I chose the bus tour plan for Taketomi Island, it turned out to be a very rushed experience, lasting only about an hour. We spent 15 minutes at Kaiji Beach and another 15 minutes for walking around the island. Additionally, we were forced to return by boat, so for those who want to fully enjoy Taketomi Island, I recommend the water buffalo cart plan or the free plan. I also think it would be better if the bus tour plan allowed us to choose the return boat schedule.

西表島、由布島は良かったのですが、竹富島のバス観光プランを選択したところ、竹富島を約1時間でものすごくバタバタした観光でした。カイジ浜は15分、島内の徒歩観光も15分程度です。そして強制的に船で帰らされるため、竹富島を堪能したい人は、水牛車プランかフリープランをお勧めします。バス観光プランも、帰りの船便を選択できるといいと思います。

I was disappointed that I couldn't see the water buffalo because I was in the last row. I wish there was a guarantee for the front row!

It was hot in Taketomi Island in May, and I gave up on going to the beach. I returned to the port early, but I had quite a bit of time left.

水牛は一番後ろの席だったので、水牛が見えず残念でした。
前列確約があればいいのにー

5月の竹富島は暑く、浜辺まで行くのを断念しました。
早めに港に戻りましたがかなり時間が余りました

I am from Osaka, and I participated.
It was amazing to see Osaka from a different perspective that I usually don't recognize.
Additionally, it was great in terms of cost performance.

おおさかの人間ですが、参加致しました。
ふだん認識している目線じゃない
違う目線で大阪を見渡せて最高でした。
加えてコスパ的にも最高でした。

I'm glad I was able to visit popular spots that are difficult to reach without a car in a compact one-day trip. Additionally, I was lucky to book at a great price during the Black Friday sale.

The Churaumi Aquarium is spacious with many attractions, and it took a lot of time just to travel back and forth from the bus parking lot. Even while eating the lunch I brought, I didn't have enough time to fully enjoy the exhibits.

Similarly, the American Village also had a distant bus parking lot, and I only had time to walk around and see the exterior of the buildings, which was disappointing as I couldn't go into the shops and relax.

The guide warned us, "If you miss the meeting time at each spot, you'll have to make your own way to the next sightseeing location," which made the participants gather quickly, causing the tour schedule to move ahead significantly. I would have appreciated it if we could have extended our stay at the American Village to the originally planned time.

車がないと行きにくい人気スポットを１日でコンパクトに回れて良かったです。
更に今回はブラックフライデーセールでお得価格で予約できてラッキーでした。
美ら海水族館は広くて見所が多く、バス駐車場からの往復移動にも時間がかかり、持参した昼食を食べながらの見学でも時間が足りませんでした。
アメリカンビレッジも同様にバス駐車場が遠く、建物外観を一通り見て回るくらいでお店に入ってゆっくりする時間がなく残念でした。
ガイドさんから「各スポットの集合時間に間に合わなかった人は自力で次の観光地点まで移動してください」と脅されていたこともあり参加者の集合が早くツアースケジュールがかなり前倒しで進んでいたので、最後のアメリカンビレッジ滞在を本来の予定時間まで延ばしてもらえるとありがたかったです。
