The children enjoyed it, and it was great since it's quite far to go by car. I hope to have the opportunity again.

子供達も楽しんでくれて、なかなか車でいこうにも遠いので、よかったです。

【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>

It was smooth and good! ☆ スムーズで良かったです☆

Reviewed by: まゆゆ

Although I was worried about the weather during the rainy season, it was sunny the whole time! I chose the three-island tour thinking my elementary school-aged children would enjoy it, and they were thrilled without getting bored thanks to the smooth flow of the tour. If I had to say something, the mangroves had a similar scenery, which seemed to bore them a bit in the second half, but they were very happy with the water buffalo and collecting star sand. I felt that lunch was a bit simple. Since the children had the same menu, I think they would have been happier if there were options like a children's lunch. On Taketomi Island, we only saw Kondoi Beach from the bus, so I wanted to go into the sea, but I was satisfied with the combination since I also booked the Phantom Island for the next day and got to enjoy the sea then. Thank you very much!

梅雨時期で天気が不安でしたが、ずっと晴れました☆小学生の子供が喜ぶだろうと3島めぐりを選んだのですが、スムーズな流れに子供達は飽きる事なく喜びました☆しいて言えばマングローブが同じ景色ばかりで後半飽きていた様ですが、水牛も星の砂拾いも大喜びでした☆お昼ご飯は少し質素に感じました。子供も同じメニューだったので、お子様ランチなど作って頂けると喜ぶと思いました。竹富島ではコンドイビーチをバスから見ただけだったので、海に入りたいとも思ったのですが、今回は次の日に幻の島も予約して海も入れたので、組み合わせとしては正解だったなと満足しております☆有難うございました。

Since it was the first pickup, I hurriedly grabbed some food from the buffet. More than that, soaking in the morning bath might be my biggest regret. I also regret having to call the guide, Mayumi Uehara. I apologize for any concern I caused. Thank you for your help. I hope you were feeling well.

スカイホップバス東京 乗り放題バスチケット 1日券・2日券<乗り降り自由>

Wonderful Tokyo 素晴らしき東京

Reviewed by: よーだ

I had been interested in the open-top red bus for a while and thought I would ride it someday. Wanting to have an interesting experience with my friends, I made a reservation this time.

You can choose to exchange your tickets either near Tokyo Skytree or Tokyo Station. We opted for Tokyo Station. The one-day ticket allows you to choose from three courses: Roppongi Course, Odaiba Course, and Asakusa Course. We initially chose the Odaiba Course because we thought the views would be beautiful.

Once we boarded, I was surprised by the height of the bus. It departs from Marunouchi, and the various buildings I usually see looked completely different from up high. It's amazing how much your perspective changes with height.

There was a lot of greenery and beautiful buildings, and I felt proud to be living in such a beautiful city. The bus headed towards the bay area, and surprisingly, it even went onto the expressway! I was a bit nervous about that.

It was a very sunny day, so the views of Odaiba were stunning. About 60% of the passengers were from overseas, and when Odaiba came into view, everyone cheered! We also passed by the Rainbow Bridge!

After that, we had lunch in Odaiba and returned to Marunouchi to join the Asakusa Course. Unlike the Odaiba Course, there weren't many scenic views, but we went under elevated tracks multiple times, which felt like an attraction.

At first, I thought I might get bored quickly, but it was so much fun that I didn't want to go back at all. Next time, I plan to dress warmly! I want to ride again!

前々から、オープントップの赤いバスが気になっており、いつか乗ろうと思ってました。友達と何か面白い体験をしたいと思い、今回予約しました。
チケット交換所は、スカイツリーか東京駅近くかで選べます。
私たちは東京駅からにしました。一日券は3コースから選べます。六本木コース、お台場コース、浅草コース。私達は景色がキレイそうという理由で、はじめはお台場コースに。乗車してバスの高さにびっくり。初めは丸の内から出発ですが、いつも見るいろんなビルが違うビルに見えてびっくり。高さでこんなにも見方な変わるのですね。
緑が多くて、キレイな建物がいっぱいで、私はこんなキレイな都市に住んでいたのかと誇らしくなりました。
湾岸の方に向かうバス。なんとこのバス首都高にもこのまま乗ります。ちょっとドキドキでした。
すごく晴れていた日だったので、お台場の景色がキレイに見えます。乗客は6割くらいは海外からの方でしたが、お台場がきれいに見えた瞬間わ皆さん歓声があがりました!レインボーブリッジも通りますよん!
その後私たちはお台場でランチしてまた丸の内まで戻り、浅草コースに参加しました!
お台場コースと違い、景色に花はないですが、高架下を何回も通るのでアトラクションみたいな気分を味わえました。
初めはすぐ飽きちゃうかなと思ったのですが、すごく楽しく、寒全然帰りたくありませんでした。
今度は厚着して挑もうと思います!また乗りたいです!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

You can efficiently visit the tourist spots in the southern region, and it will take you all the way to the airport at the end. During the bus ride, the guide will talk about Okinawa. Although it was rainy at the Seifa Utaki, the atmosphere was nice. It's a good idea to visit the museum at the Himeyuri Monument. From the Mie Castle behind the Loisir Hotel, the view of the patrol boats and other vessels is great.

南部の観光地を効率的に回ることが出来て最後空港まで行ってくれます。バス移動中は沖縄についてガイドさんが話してくれます。斎場御嶽は雨でしたが雰囲気は良かったです。ひめゆりの塔では資料館には行ったほうがいいです。集合場所のロワジールホテルの裏の三重城からは巡視船などの船が見渡せて眺めがいいです。

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

Great tour!

Reviewed by: HKtraveller

Great tour! Would definitely recommend this package as it had everything we wanted to do and see. Bus picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel so it was very convenient. We got lots of fun photos with the giant butterflies at the Butterfly Garden. The Churaumi Aquarium was awesome. Our guide was friendly and helpful and managed to communicate to us via English signs when to get back to the bus and what time we could go see the dolphin show. It really helped that we happened to have a bilingual traveler on our bus and he stepped in to help translate from Japanese to English. Lots of interesting pineapple products to try at Nago Pineapple Park. They gave us a mini cup to sample about 4-5 pineapple wines and you can try their pineapple cakes. On our way home, the tour guide gave everyone a little pineapple ice cream sherbet, very refreshing! Perfect end to an enjoyable day.

That's unfortunate. 残念です。

Reviewed by: ねえまゆ

I used a low-cost carrier and my flight from Naha Airport was at 1:50 PM. I had done my research and thought I would make it on time, so I participated. However, when I checked with the guide, they said I might be late past 1 PM. I chose Course B and got off halfway to the beach, taking a taxi to Naha Airport, which cost 4,000 yen. I arrived at 12:30 PM. Then, a mishap occurred. I mistakenly took the wrong luggage, and the guide contacted me to say I arrived at Naha Airport at 12:45 PM. What was the point of taking a taxi to Naha Airport? I would have made it in plenty of time. I don't think I would have made a mistake with my luggage either.

LCC利用で帰り13時50分那覇空港発。下調べ済みで時間に間に合うはずと参加。しかしガイドさんに確認すると13時過ぎてしまうかもしれませんと。Bコース選択してビーチより途中下車しタクシーで那覇空港まで4000円かかりました。12時半に着きました。ここでハプニング。荷物を間違えてしまいガイドさんから連絡が着て那覇空港に着いた時間が12時45分。何の為にタクシーで那覇空港まで来たのでしょか?十分に間に合いました。荷物も間違える事も無かったと思います。

Dear Mayu,

Thank you for participating in the Rad Tour Bus. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience we may have caused you. Normally, we expect to arrive on time; however, there may be delays due to traffic conditions.

Additionally, since you are using a low-cost carrier (it takes about 20 minutes to move from Naha Airport to the LCC terminal), it seems the guide expressed concern that you might miss your flight if we were to exceed 1 PM. We are very sorry for causing you any stress with the guide's instructions this time.

Moving forward, we will make sure to provide clearer guidance to our customers in such situations. Thank you for your valuable feedback.

そして、お客様がLCCということもあり(LCC専用ターミナルまで那覇空港から移動時間を含め約20分時間を要する)ガイドの方が乗り遅れを懸念して13時を過ぎてしまうかもしれないとお伝えしたようです。
今回、ガイドのご案内でお客様を焦らせてしまたことは大変申し訳ございませんでした。

A Unique Tokyo 一味違うTOKYO

Reviewed by: sae

I finally rode the bright red double-decker bus that I've been curious about while walking around Ginza!

It's Japan's first open-top double-decker bus, the Sky Bus, on the Omotesando and Shibuya route.

I got to see the scenery that I usually pass by on foot or while riding the train from the height of the expressway and pedestrian bridges.

Fortunately, it was a sunny day, and I enjoyed the refreshing breeze while sightseeing from the bus, feeling like a foreign tourist.

Starting from Marunouchi, we passed by the red brick Tokyo Station, the Imperial Theatre, and around the Imperial Palace. We also saw the National Diet Building, the State Guest House, Gakushuin Primary School, and the Akasaka Palace, which I visited on a school trip.

We went by Sakurada Gate, Jingu Gaien, the Metropolitan Police Department, the Prime Minister's Official Residence, Toyokawa Inari, and Hie Shrine, which is the only shrine in Japan with an escalator. The reason why the windows of the Honda headquarters building are recessed is also interesting.

From the most famous scramble crossing in Japan to 109, Omotesando Hills, AO, the United Nations University, and the closed Children's Castle... even places I usually pass by revealed different discoveries when viewed from the Sky Bus.

普段、銀座界隈を歩いていて気になっていた真っ赤な二階建てバス。
初めて乗って来ました!

日本初のオープン二階建てバス、スカイバスで表参道・渋谷コース。

いつもは歩いて通るか電車に乗って眺めている景色を、首都高や歩道橋スレスレの高さから観てきました。

運良く晴れて爽やかな風を受けながらの車上観光で、外国人観光客気分。

丸の内から出発して、赤煉瓦の東京駅、帝国劇場前を通り皇居周辺。
社会科見学で行った国会議事堂、迎賓館に学習院初等科と赤坂御所。

桜田門や神宮外苑、警視庁、首相官邸に豊川稲荷、日本で唯一エスカレーターが敷設されている日枝神社。
ホンダ本社ビルの窓ガラスが奥まっている理由も面白い。

日本一有名なスクランブル交差点に109、表参道ヒルズやAO、国連大学に閉館したこどもの城…普段通るところも、スカイバスから観ると、また違った発見があるのでした(^ー^*)

When we departed from Ishigaki Island, we arrived at the ferry terminal too early, but thanks to being able to board an earlier boat (departing at 8:40), we were able to enjoy sightseeing at a leisurely pace. A bus was waiting at the port, and we arrived at the water buffalo cart boarding area in about five minutes. I was impressed by the intelligence of the water buffalo. I was amazed by how the boatman controlled their speed and maneuvered considering the turning radius. After that, we rented bicycles and first climbed the Nago-mi Tower, which seemed like it would get crowded, and then headed to Nishi Sanchō. After enjoying the picturesque beautiful sea, we had an early lunch to avoid the crowds. Since it gets hot during the day, I think it's best to act early. We returned to Ishigaki Island around 13:30, and we were able to fully enjoy our time.

石垣島から出発時、離島ターミナルに早く着きすぎましたが、一本早い船に乗船できたおかげ(8:40発)でゆっくり観光が出来ました。すぐ港にバスが待機しており、5分ほどで水牛車乗り場に到着しました。感動したのは水牛の賢さ。船頭さんの声かけでスピード、内輪差を考えてのコントロール等にびっくり。そのあとレンタル自転車を借りて、まずは混雑しそうななごみの塔に登り、街並みを眺めながら西桟橋へ。絵に描いたような美しい海を眺めた後、混雑を考慮して早めのランチ。日中は暑くなるので、とにかく早めの行動がいいと思います。13:30位に石垣島へ戻りましたが、充分堪能できました。

Watching the people living in Tokyo! 住んでいる東京の人たちをウオッチング!

Reviewed by: イクコ

The Omotesando and Shibuya course is more about seeing the people who live in present-day Tokyo than visiting famous landmarks and historical sites.

The starting point in front of the Mitsubishi Building is in Marunouchi, Tokyo's office district, where you can see people going about their work. The bus departs while heading towards Kasumigaseki, passing by Tokyo Station. Kasumigaseki is Japan's government district, where you can see the National Diet Building and various ministry buildings. Next to it is the Imperial Palace. As we head towards Omotesando, we can see the moat of the Imperial Palace. Omotesando and Aoyama are where Tokyo's fashionable people gather. By this time, the people passing by have changed from suits to stylish, trendy clothes. Since it's a bus without a ceiling, you can also smell delicious food in the air.

We pass through the Shibuya Scramble Crossing, where you can see Tokyoites skillfully navigating the streets. This is the turnaround point, and we head back to Tokyo Station. The rows of trees near the State Guest House and glimpses of Tokyo Tower between the buildings excite us passengers. The bus passes by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism building and returns to Marunouchi.

The small trip of about an hour and a half of Tokyo people-watching comes to an end.

表参道、渋谷コースは東京の名所、旧跡を訪ねと言うより、今の東京の住んでいる人々を見るコース。
出発点の三菱ビル前は東京のオフィス街、丸の内。働く人々が行きかうところが見る事が出来ます。バスは東京駅横に見ながら霞が関の方向に向かい出発していきます。霞が関は日本の官庁街、国会議事堂、各省庁の建物を見て進んで行きます。その横は皇居。皇居のお堀を見ながら、表参道方向へ。東京のおしゃれな人たちが集まる表参道、青山と進んで行きます。この頃になると通行する人達はスーツ姿からおしゃれな流行の洋服に変って行きます。天井のないバスなので、この当たりは美味しそうな匂いもしてきます。そして渋谷のスクランブル交差点を通り、東京の人が器用に右往左往に道路を渡る姿を目にする事が出来ます。ここから折り返し地点。また、東京駅へと戻ってきます。迎賓館の並木、ビルの隙間隙間から見る東京タワーが乗客の私たちをわくわくさせてくれます。バスは国交省のビルを横目に見て、丸の内に戻ってきます。
約1時間半の東京人ウオッチングの小旅行の旅が終わります。

After exchanging the voucher for tickets at the meeting point near Marunouchi Building, we boarded. Since the seats are assigned in advance, it's a bit reassuring even for solo travelers. (As we move clockwise towards our destination, sitting on the right side (side D) feels like a bit of an advantage.)

Once we started moving, there was a chorus of cheers from the passengers. The wind feels great! The traffic lights are close! It's oddly delightful to see people waving from the roadside! That refreshing feeling is something you rarely find elsewhere. Honestly, I didn't expect an open-top bus to be this enjoyable.

A guide accompanied the tour, providing commentary from the back of the seats with a microphone. The information about dessert shops while passing through Omotesando and Shibuya was particularly detailed (though we couldn't get off).

Tokyo Station, Kasumigaseki, Omotesando, Shibuya... places that aren't particularly rare for those living in Tokyo look so sparkling from a high vantage point without a roof! It was a tour filled with new discoveries. I want to invite someone and go again soon, without waiting for another opportunity.

風が気持ちいい!信号機が近い!沿道から手を振ってくれる人がいて妙にうれしい!
あの爽快感はなかなか他では見当たらない種類のものです。正直、オープントップバスがこんなにイイものとは思ってませんでした。

ツアーにはガイドさんが一人添乗し、座席後方からマイクで案内。特に表参道・渋谷を通り抜ける際のスイーツ店情報はかなり力が入ってました(降りられるわけではないですが)。

東京駅・霞ヶ関・表参道・渋谷…と、東京に住んでいれば特に珍しくもない場所が、屋根のない高い視点から風を受けながら眺めると、これほどまでにキラキラして見えるのか!?と新しい発見に満ちたツアーでした。
機会があればと言わず、ぜひ誰かを誘って近いうちにまた乗りに行きたいです。

  • 街路樹の葉っぱの高さの視線

  • 座席は指定制

  • 行き先表示板が近い!!!

  • この視点からの国会議事堂が新鮮

  • 頭上を過ぎていく緑が気持ちいい

  • 素晴らしい解放感

There's not enough time! 時間が足りない!

Reviewed by: H.O

It was great to be able to efficiently get around and finally drop off at the airport. The downside is that the time to sightsee at each spot was too short. I wanted to take a closer look.

効率的に回れて、最後は空港でバスを降りれるのはとても良かったです。それそれのスポットで観光できる時間が少なすぎるのが難点です。もっとゆっくり見たかったです。

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

Great Tour!

Reviewed by: SarahM

My Japanese language skills are limited, so having the English audio available was great. The tour guide was friendly and very good. I enjoyed the bus tour immensely. I had an easy time finding the pick up location and was dropped off where I could get back to my hotel without getting lost. I didn't realize that Expo Land was a huge theme park until we got there. My goal, however, was to spend time at the Churaumi Aquarium and I was able to do just that. Along the way, we stopped at a few sights, including a Butterfly Museum, Pineapple Park, and Ryukyu Glass Factory. All in all, I had a great time.

  • Butterfly House

  • Churaumi Aquarium

  • Churaumi Aquarium

  • Whale Shark in the world's 2nd largest aquarium tank

  • Pineapple Park - great samples of juice and wine.

It was good. 良かった

Reviewed by: まきの

Overall, it was very good.
It's a pity that the visiting time at each tourist spot was short.
I think it would have been better to extend the return time and allow more time at each location.
But I had a fun day. Thank you very much.

全体的に非常に良かったです。
各観光地の見学時間が短いのが残念です。
帰りの時間を遅くして、各所の時間を多くしたら 良かったかな
でも 楽しい1日がすごせました。有難うございます。

Saving time with hotel departures! It was a comfortable sightseeing experience. ホテル発着で時間節約!快適な観光でした

Reviewed by: massy

It was really convenient to be picked up at the hotel where I was staying. The tour was compact, but I was able to thoroughly explore the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium in three hours. I also had time to enjoy the Dolphin Show.

Unfortunately, the lunch (or snack?) was quite light. The taste wasn't bad, but it was really minimal! You should think of it more as a light snack.

Additionally, there were some foreign participants (maybe from China) who tended to be late for the meeting time. Perhaps it's a cultural thing. In the end, our return was delayed by more than 30 minutes. It's something to be cautious about.

宿泊していたホテルでピックアップしてもらえるので本当に便利でした。
コンパクトにまとまっていますが、美ら海水族館も3時間でたっぷり見学できました。オキちゃん劇場もゆっくり見ることができました。
残念なのは昼食(軽食?)です。味は悪くありませんが、本当に軽いです!ちょっとおやつ程度と思った方がいいです。
それから、外国の方(中国人かな)が参加していたのですが、集合時間に遅れがちです。お国柄でしょうか。結局帰着予定が30分以上延びてしまいました。要注意です。

【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>

For families with small children... 小さな子供がいるファミリーには・・・。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We went with my wife, our 5-year-old son, and our 10-month-old second son. First, we arrived at the port and checked in, where we received tickets with our tour number. After that, we boarded a boat heading to Iriomote Island, and upon arrival, we quickly transferred to a smaller boat to see the mangroves. It's something you can't see often in Japan, so I thought it was great. However, at that time, my eldest son said, "It's not interesting just looking at trees." That's true for kids...

After that, we took a water buffalo cart to Yufu Island for lunch, then returned to Iriomote Island and headed to Taketomi Island. On Taketomi Island, we visited a beach with star sand. The kids were thrilled and collected sand.

Afterward, we returned to the port for the glass-bottom boat. Although it was a short time, the boat rocked quite a bit, so some people might need to take measures against seasickness.

This is the flow of the tour, but there was no tour guide. Several travel companies collaborated to run the tour, and we were called by our tour number by staff at various locations. Additionally, we ended up acting together with a group from a major travel company at times.

The biggest issue was that there was hardly any free time, so there was no opportunity to change my younger son's diaper. I recommend this tour for those who want to see the highlights of this area, but if you're participating with small children, it might be burdensome or boring for them.

妻と5歳の長男、10ヶ月の次男の4人で行きました。
まず港について受付をすると、ツアー番号が書かれたチケットを渡されます。
その後船に乗ってまず西表島に向かい、到着後直ぐに小型の船に乗り換えマングローブを観ます。国内ではなかなか見ることができないので、これは良いと思います。ただ、この時長男が「木ばっかり見ていても面白くない」といっていました。確かに子供にとってはそうですね・・・。
その後水牛車で由布島に渡り昼食→西表島に戻り竹富島へ。
竹富島では星の砂があるビーチに行きました。子供は大喜びで砂を集めていました。
その後港に戻りグラスボートへ。短時間ですが、揺れが大きいため人によっては船酔い対策が必要です。
以上がツアーの流れになりますが、添乗員はいません。複数の観光会社が共同で催行しており、その場所場所で係員にツアー番号で呼ばれます。また、部分的に大手旅行会社の団体と一緒に行動することになります。
この中で一番問題となったのは、自由時間が殆どないため、次男のおむつを替えるタイミングがなかったことです。
このエリアの見どころを纏めて回りたい方にはお勧めです、子供連れで参加する場合、小さい子程負担若しくは退屈することになるかもしれません。

My first trip to Okinawa. 初の沖縄旅行

Reviewed by: tomoko

Considering the time allocated, I knew it would be somewhat hectic, but the travel time to the meeting point felt shorter than expected.

Especially at Okinawa World, there was a choice between experiencing the Eisa dance or the limestone caves, and I was a bit disappointed that the time distribution didn’t allow for both.

That said, I was very satisfied with the trip without a rental car, as I was able to enjoy sightseeing in the southern part of the island, even though I initially planned to stay only in Naha City. It was great to see the coastline and the typical Okinawan scenery along the way.

Since I participated in April for 1,400 yen, I’m deducting one star due to my disappointment.

時間の割には内容が盛りだくさんなので、多少慌ただしいのは承知でしたが、
集合場所までの所要時間を考えると、予想以上に短く感じました。

特におきなわワールドでは、エイサーか鍾乳洞かの選択が必要な滞在時間。
両方可能な時間配分だったら、もっと楽しめたのにと少し残念でした。

とはいえレンタカーなしの旅、那覇市内だけの予定が、南部観光もできて大満足。
道中では海岸線や沖縄らしい風景も見ることができて良かったです。

4月参加で1400円だったので、がっかりした分☆ひとつマイナスです。

Relaxed のんびり

Reviewed by: UCHI

As the title suggests, you can enjoy sightseeing on Taketomi Island at your own pace. In the morning, you will be picked up at your hotel and receive your tickets, and since the return ferry times are flexible, you can explore the island almost at your leisure. There are some ups and downs, but I recommend biking. It seems that electric bikes are also available for an additional fee.

タイトル通り好きな時間に竹富島観光ができます。朝、ホテルに迎えに来ていただき、チケットをもらえば帰りの船の時刻は自由なので、ほぼマイペースで島内を観光できます。アップダウンが少しあるけど、自転車おすすめです。追加料金で電動もあるみたい。

Tokyo 1 Day Tour to Tokyo Tower, Meiji Shrine, Sumida River Cruise, and Asakusa

best tour for the day

Reviewed by: Patty L.

I 'm remiss in posting this review. My daughter and I took this trip last year. We traveled from Boston to Tokyo and were thrilled that the cherry blossoms were in bloom. We only had three days in Tokyo before heading to Kyoto so this tour was fantastic. We hit all the high points. We started by going to Tokyo Tower. The views were awesome and we were lucky to be able to see Mt. Fuji. We had a tour of the city, a visit to the royal palace, several shrines, a park, lunch and a boat ride. I found the prices very reasonable for all we got and the lunch was terrific as well. Our guide was very knowledgeable and was happy to answer questions. The day was rainy and cold but the spirit of all was very bright. We were lucky that it warmed up and we were able to return on our own to some of the spots we saw. I looked at several tour companies before I left and this was the best. I have recommended this company to my boss when she went to Paris and she was happy with her tours as well. I will be using this company next year when I visit Italy.

Full bloom cherry blossoms! 満開の桜!

Reviewed by: okapee33

I had previously taken the hop-on bus from this company, but I had always wanted to ride it without getting off at any stops. I boarded on a sunny afternoon when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, so there was no glare from the west sun, allowing me to enjoy various beautiful views. It's amazing to be so close to the cherry trees around the Imperial Palace, but personally, I found it thrilling and exciting to see the scenery of people having hanami in the National Diet front garden and to pass under the 3.6-meter guard at Sukiyabashi. Riding through Ginza's Chuo-dori on a double-decker open-top bus was incredibly fun.

この会社のホップオンバスは乗ったことがありましたが、途中下車のない方も一度乗ってみたいと思っていました。ちょうど桜が満開の晴天のお昼に乗車したので、西日もなくきれいに色んな景色が楽しめました。皇居周辺の桜の木が間近なのも凄いですが、個人的には国会前庭で花見をしている風景と、数寄屋橋の3.6メートルのガードをくぐるのがスリリングでエキサイティングでした。銀座の中央通りを2階建てオープントップバスで通るのは凄く楽しかったです。
