All Reviews for Bus Tours

My first solo trip. I chose a bus tour plan. The weather was perfect, and seeing the blue ocean was incredibly soothing. I had unique experiences like the mangrove cruise and the water buffalo cart ride, and it was so good that I would love to participate again, even alone. I'll definitely come back!

初めてのひとり旅。バス観光プランにしました。天気も最高に良く、青い海が見れて最高に癒されました。マングローブクルーズや水牛車の体験ここでしかできない体験させてもらい、また一人でも参加したいくらい良かったです^ ^

We came to Osaka for our wedding anniversary trip. We arrived in the morning and had some time before our departure, so we ate Kansai-style udon and then had grilled squid at the basement of Hankyu Department Store before boarding the bus. The double-decker bus was very spacious, and the mist felt really nice. The weather was great, and as one of the purposes of this trip was to explore Osaka's gourmet food, we chose the Namba route. After arriving at the Osaka Station Bus Terminal, we quickly enjoyed takoyaki, headed south, and indulged in okonomiyaki, kushikatsu, and fugu. Next time, I want to join the northern route that includes Osaka Castle.

結婚記念日旅行で大阪に来ました。朝到着し出発まで時間が有ったので関西風うどんを食べ、阪急百貨店地下でイか焼を食べた後バスに乗車。２階建てでとても開放感がありミストがとても気持ち良かったです。天気も良く今回の旅の目的の１つである大阪グルメ食べ歩きをする為の下見として、なんばルート選びました。大阪駅前バスターミナルに到着後、早速たこ焼きを食べ南に下りて行き、お好み焼き・串かつ・ふぐを堪能できました。今度は大阪城のある北ルートにも参加したいと思います。

I was very satisfied that I could visit the famous spots in Okinawa in just one day. The guide shared songs, dances, dialects, stories about the people of Okinawa, and little bits of information that aren't in guidebooks, which I really enjoyed! I definitely want to come back to Okinawa!

沖縄の有名どころを1日で回ることができて大満足でした。ガイドさんが歌や踊り、方言、沖縄の人や沖縄のプチ情報をお話ししてくださり、ガイドブックに書いてないことを沢山楽しめました！是非また沖縄に来たいです！

I participated in the same tour before. This time, I joined with a friend who was visiting Okinawa for the first time, and since our time was limited, we chose this tour that allows for an efficient day trip. The guide entertained us with songs, history, and quizzes, and my friend was very satisfied.

以前同じツアーに参加しました。今回は沖縄が初めての友達も同行し、なおかつ日にちが限られたため、日帰りで効率的にまわれるこのツアーにしました。ガイドさんが歌や歴史やクイズなどで楽しませてくれて、友達も大満足でした。

The weather was great, and it was a very enjoyable tour. The lunch was a bit disappointing, but... I recommend this tour as you can enjoy each of the three islands.

天気にも恵まれてとても楽しいツアーでした。昼食がいまいちだったが残念ですが…３島それぞれ楽しめるツアーでおすすめです。

A great and amazing experience of viewing the Tokyo of Japan with full horizon.

One can take a break in between stops to explore the Skytree, Tokyo tower, Shinjuk and other areas.

It was a good way seeing Tokyo. Enjoyed the hop on hop off experience in the beautiful city of Tokyo.

I was torn about which option to choose, but this time I selected the water buffalo cart and bus tour plan on Taketomi Island. I picked up all the tickets and received an explanation at the remote island terminal, and then we set off. There were staff members at each location, and everything was well coordinated, so there was no confusion. The water buffalo cart on Iriomote Island slowly crossed the water to the island, while the cart on Taketomi Island leisurely moved through a small village. The water buffalo seem to enjoy taking breaks, as they only move slowly both in the water and on land, but I think that's part of the charm. Since I went in August, it was very hot, so I would like to visit again when it's cooler.

どのオプションにしようか悩みましたが、今回は竹富島で水牛車とバス観光プランを選びました。
離島ターミナルで全てのチケットを受取り説明を受けいざ出発 各箇所に係りの人が居て連携もバッチリ迷う事なく行けました。 西表島の水牛車は水の中をゆっくりゆっくり島に渡り竹富島の水牛車は小さな集落をのんびりのんびり進む 水牛達は、休憩が好きなようで水の中でも陸の上でも少しづつしか進みませんがそれがいいんだと思います。 今回は、8月に行ったのでとても暑かったのでまた来る時は涼しい時に行きたいと思います。

Being our first time to Japan, we obviously had to say hello to Fuji-san. Signed up via Veltra with Japan Panoramic Tour Agency. We were kinda anxious as it was also our first experience signing up with an online provider (sight-unseen) and we weren't sure what to expect. Our fears were unrealised, thankfully!

We were met at the designated pick-up point in Shinjuku and started our journey to Mount Fuji in a comfy bus. Along the way, we had opportunities to admire the vastness of Lake Kawaguchi, enjoy yummy blueberry ice-cream, collect cool spring water in Oshino Hakkai, and have filling lunch in a Ninja Village before getting in some fun being 'ninja-like'. We even had a cool photo shot with a ninja!

At the 5th station stop, Mount Fuji left us breathless and awed. We were so blessed to catch sight of it before it did a 'vanishing' trick in the mist! The fabulous 4D experience with Fuji Airways gave us wonderful sights of Fuji-san, which we otherwise would not have had.

Although it seemed a bit rushed at times, on the whole this was a day trip well worth the time and expense. For sure, we had a great day up the mountain!

You can get to see Mount Fuji most part of the tour. The tour guide Jack was very informative and helpful.

The view of Mt Fuji from Lake Kawaguchi was awesome. I recommend having the blueberry ice creams they sell there. It was very yummy.

The 8 ponds around Mt Fuji at Oshino had crystal clear water and it was very beautiful. From there we proceeded to the Ninja village where we had a good buffet lunch and played some Ninja games. We tried throwing some Ninja star shaped weapons on targets, went in to the maze and got lost several times. Took some cool pics with the Ninjas. From there we went to Fuji Q Highland and I must say that this was one of the highlights of the tour. The 4D show was AWSOME and I wish I experience that again. You get to fly over Mt Fuji and see it in different seasons.

Overall the tour was very good and good value for money

The guide explained, sang, danced, and even performed a paper play. I really think that's amazing.
It's much easier to take this bus tour than to drive myself.

ガイドさんは解説して歌って踊って紙芝居もやってました。本当にすごいと思います。
自分で運転するよりも、このバスツアーのほうが本当に楽です。

I participated in the half-day course at Yakusugi Land in the afternoon. Since it was possible to join as a solo traveler, I attended alone this time. By late August, it seemed that the summer vacation peak had passed, so instead of a bus, we took a taxi. The driver shared a lot of detailed information about Yakushima. We visited Yakusugi Land and the Jomon Sugi, and along the way, he also pointed out some delicious spots for water. On the way back, he kindly stopped at various places to explain things, which made for wonderful memories. He even took me to a shop I wanted to visit on the way back. It was very kind of him. I would like to use this service again.

午後からのヤクスギランド半日コースを利用しました。
お一人様の参加可能ということで、
今回ひとり参加致しました。
8月下旬で夏休みピークを過ぎたのか
参加が数名だったためバスでなく、
タクシーだったのですが運転手さんから色々と屋久島の詳しいお話しも聞けました。
ヤクスギランドと紀元杉に行きましたが、
途中の美味しい脇水の場所とかも教えてもらったり、帰りみちは所々で下車して丁寧に説明して下さったのでとても思い出になりました。
帰りは寄りたいお店まで送っていただきました。
とても親切でした。
また利用したいです。

My mother participated alone with a walker, and although it caused some trouble, it seems that the driver and the guide were very considerate, allowing us to complete the tour safely. Since Yakushima sightseeing mainly involves trekking and climbing, I consulted with VELTRA about whether my mother could participate, as she is unable to walk around. Thanks to their communication with the local team and the arrangements made in advance, we were able to join without any worries. Thank you very much.

母が一人でシルバーカーを押しての参加で、色々お手数を掛けましたが、
運転手さんはじめガイドさんが気遣って下さったようで、無事観光を終えることができました。
屋久島観光はトレッキングや登山等が主になってしまうので、
歩きまわることができない母が観光できないかVELTRAさんにも相談した結果
現地と連絡を取り合って、事前に対処して頂いたお陰で不安なく参加することができました。
ありがとうございました。

The course was certainly good, but the various conversations on the bus, the Okinawan songs, and the traditional Kachashi dance really made it an enjoyable trip, including during the travel time!

コースももちろん良かったですが、バスの中での色々な話や、沖縄の歌三線、カチャーシーなど、盛り上げていただき、移動中も含めてほんと楽しい旅になりました！

The guide was incredibly energetic, with singing and dancing, and provided a thorough explanation of Okinawa's history. I participated alone, but I had a great time and learned a lot. The main highlight this time was the Churaumi Aquarium, which was crowded, but the dolphin show was fantastic. When returning to the bus, the guide and the driver always welcomed us, and I thought that their attitude contributes to the popularity of this tour. They also paid attention to our seating, so I was never bored until the end. I would love to join again when I come back to Okinawa!

とにかくガイドさんがパワフル、唄あり、踊りあり、沖縄の歴史もよくよく説明していただき、一人での参加でしたが、とても楽しかったし、勉強になりました。今回のメイン、美ら海水族館、混んでいましたが、オキちゃんショーも最高でした。バスに戻る時は、いつもガイドさんとドライバーさんのお２人でお出迎え、その姿勢がこのツアーの人気につながっているのだなと思いました。座席にも気を使っていただき、最後まで飽きませんでした。また、沖縄に来たときは、参加したいです！

It was really hot, and everyone in the rental bike group looked like they were struggling with the heat. The water buffaloes also seemed to be feeling the heat... The Taketomi Island I wanted to visit was just as lovely as I imagined it would be. ♡

とにかく暑くて、レンタサイクル組はみんな暑そうでした。水牛たちも暑そうでした…
行きたかった竹富島はイメージ通りに素敵なところでした♡

I took my overseas friends with me. It was my first time too, but they seemed very satisfied!

Since we were on the second floor of the open bus, the traffic lights and signs were right there...! The Rainbow Bridge was breathtaking!

It was a bit rainy, so it felt like Splash Mountain, which was fun. (laughs)

The guide was wonderful as well.

I want to ride again!

海外の友達を連れて行きました。
わたしも初めてだったのですが、とても満足してくれたようです！

オープンバスの二階なので信号機や標識がすぐそこに…！
レインボーブリッジは圧巻でした！

雨が若干降っていたのでスプラッシュマウンテンみたいで面白かったです。笑

ガイドのお姉さんも素敵でした。


また乗りたいです！

On August 30th, I participated in a tour with five friends that departed at 5 PM. The bus was a red double-decker, and since the weather was nice, most of the roof was open. There were air vents and misters blowing out here and there, so the heat wasn't a concern. Additionally, everyone was given two cooling patches, and fans were provided at our seats. A guide accompanied us on the bus and provided very detailed explanations, including historical information. Everyone was very satisfied. Next time, we plan to join the southern route. Thank you, Kintetsu Bus.

8月30日友人5人で夕方五時出発のツアーに参加しました。バスは赤い二階建て、天気も良かったので屋根の大半がオープンでした。ところどころにエアー噴き出しやミストが吹き出され、暑さは気にならなかったです。更に、冷えピタ二枚入りを全員に配られ、席にはうちわが用意されていました。このバスにはガイドさんが添乗されています。とても丁寧に歴史的な事も含め説明がありました。全員大満足でした。次回は南廻りのコースに参加する予定です。近鉄バスさんありがとうございました。

It was very amazing and beautiful Japan is! I admire the Japanese people about there culture and mostly there attitude, generally they are nice and patient people....I didnt experienced any discrimination where ever we went, Tokyo is really a nice place to come visit...so peaceful and clean...I also recommend our tour guide yulie who is very knowledgeable about the place and very accommodating, Im sure i want to come back soon and book my trip to your company again. Thank you and more power.

Due to time constraints, I only participated in the morning course. We visited places like Ohkawa Falls, Gajumaru, the Western Forest Road, and Inakahama. The guide was very skilled at sharing stories and taught me a lot about Yakushima that I wouldn't have known on my own.

First of all, I think it would be great to take this tour to get an overview of Yakushima and then explore your favorite spots individually! I recommend it for those who have limited travel schedules or for families with small children.

時間の関係で、午前中のコースのみに参加しました。大川の滝〜ガジュマル〜西部林道〜いなか浜などを回りました。ガイドさんのお話も上手で、1人たびでは知れない、屋久島のことをたくさん教えて頂きました。

まず、このツアーで屋久島を1周されてから好きな場所を個人で散策されるといいかなと思いました！ 旅の日程があまり取れない方、小さなお子さんがいる方にもオススメです。

This tour was alright. The sights we were brought to were good and entertaining. Although the time allocated for each stop was not even close to being enough...the tsukiji fish market was excellent and the food was great and at the same time affordable. The buffet was not exeptional considering the price that was paid for it. Overall it is a tour that all first timers in tokyo must do. But really it was the tour assistant LEVIN that made the tour interesting. Thank you to LEVIN

Foreigners can also use it. The service is good, and it's very convenient. I think "Monkey Country" and "Twenty-Four Eyes" are the best. I recommend it for children and the elderly.

外国人でも利用できます。サービスもいいし、すごく便利です。猿の国と二十四の瞳が一番いいと思います。子供とお年寄りに連れて、お勧めます。

One child got seasick during the first 45 minutes of the boat ride. When we immediately informed the guide for the mangrove cruise about the seasickness, they quickly changed us to a boat with a restroom, allowing us to enjoy the cruise with peace of mind. After that, the child who had been seasick regained their energy when it was time to ride the water buffalo cart and was able to have a lot of fun.

There were no restroom breaks from the time we arrived at Iriomote Island until we reached the lunch venue. It's also a good idea to bring your own drinks.

子ども1人は最初の45分の乗船で船酔いをしてしまいました。
その後すぐに乗船するマングローブクルーズのガイドさんに船酔いしていることを伝えると、トイレ付きの船に急遽変更してもらえ安心してクルーズできました。
その後船酔いした子どもは、水牛車に乗る時には元気が戻りその後はとても楽しむ事ができました。

西表島についてから昼食会場まで特にトイレ休憩時間はありませんでした。また飲み物も持参したほうがいいです。

I booked the tour one day before and was happy that I did it for myself and 2 cousins. The trip turn up to be good except that we can't see the whole view of Mount Fuji due to weather. The trip end with a good bonus to see a 4 D show about Mount Fuji. Good experience, recommend Day your.

Great trip to Mt Fugi. We're fortunate with good weather had great view of the mts and scenery. The little towns were cute, would have been nice to have more time to walk around but a very full day. The fresh spring water was really cold and refreshing.
Mario was very informative tour guide. Had hands on experience climbing Mt fugi, able to give first hand account about climbing Mt fugi. Thanks for the experience.

The wonderful sound of the sanshin and the lovely singing voice. I brought my child, and I was happy that they frequently engaged with us. I would definitely like to participate again.

ステキな三線の音色とステキな歌声。子どもを連れて行ったのですが、こまめに話しかけて下さって嬉しかったです。また、ぜひ参加したいです。

Very convenient way to see the Okinawa Aquarium from the Kadena area. The Nago Pineapple stop was a pleasant surprise. Well organized and a good value.

It was an amazing tour! Mario and Abe-san (our driver) were amazing! Thank you so much for thia wonderful tour. It was so much fun. It was even better because the weather was so great. We were able to see Mt. Fuji clearly! I highly recommend this tour! Lunch was yummy, too!

I had a very meaningful time sightseeing in the city on a two-story open-deck bus while listening to the guide's detailed explanations. It was great to see the landmarks from the window in such a short time. I would like to join a different course next time. The heat was tough, but it's August after all!

二階建てオープンデッキバスでの市内観光、ガイドさんの丁寧な説明を聞きながら、とても有意義な時間を過ごす事が出来ました。短い時間で名所を車窓から観光。とても良かったです。
次はまた、違うコースに参加したいと思いました。
暑いのには参りましたが、、、８月ですからね〜〜

Was a great tour, good weather allowed to see the scenery and mt Fugi well. The fresh spring water in Oshino was cold and refreshing. Mario was a great tour guide, was able to share first hand experience about climbing Mt Fugi. If only I had more time I would come back to climb trail. But fortunately the clouds broke so was able to get pictures of the summit. The Fugi simulation was nice allowed to see and experience the different seasons on the mt. Would have been nice to have a little more time at sites but with full day saw alot. Thanks!!
