All Reviews for Bus Tours

I participated in this tour during the afternoon while moving from Otaru to Chitose Airport. I wanted to visit the Hitsujigaoka Observation Hill and the Okurayama Jump Stadium, so I was looking for a way to see them in a short amount of time and found this tour.

The view from the top of the jump stadium was breathtaking, with a steep slope that made me imagine what the athletes must feel when they jump, giving me goosebumps. Although it was not during the snowy season, it reminded me of the excitement of the Olympics.

There are not many stops, but I was very satisfied. The guide accompanied us, and while listening to the audio guide through earphones felt a bit impersonal, I understand that it caters to foreign visitors as well. I would love to visit during the snowy season too.

小樽から千歳空港に移動する合間の午後に参加しました。
羊ヶ丘展望台と大倉山ジャンプ台に行きたかったので、短時間で廻れる方法を探していたらこのツアーを見つけました。
ジャンプ台の上からの景色は足がすくむような急こう配で、選手はどんな思いで飛行するのかと想像するだけで鳥肌が立ちました。雪のない時期でしたが、オリンピックの熱狂が思い出されました。
立ち寄りどころは少ないですが私は大満足でした。ガイドさんが添乗しているのですが、イヤホンで観光ガイドを聞くのが味気ないようですが、外国の方も利用するのでしょうと納得です。
雪のある時期にも行ってみたいです。

It was great because it was just a short trip from the city and the weather was nice. However, I was surprised by how hot it was that day! The tour fit perfectly into the gap before my flight home.

市内から僅かな移動で行けて、天気も良かったので最高でした
が、この日は気温も高く暑くてビックリ‼️
帰りの飛行機までの隙間にピッタリ入る
ツアーは良かったです

This was an amazing experience. The day was well planned, well run and we had some amazing experiences. The guide was attentive, enthusiastic and explained everything about the schedule so we all knew what was happening. The food was really good with a stunning river view. We cannot fault anything - a wonderful day!

It was a tour that circled Ishigaki Island by bus, and the weather was great, making it truly wonderful. We efficiently visited all the points we wanted to see, and it was fun to have songs sung with the sanshin on the bus.

石垣島をバスで一周するツアーでしたが、天気も良くて本当に最高でした。行きたいポイントを効率良く回って頂き、またバスの中では三線で歌も歌っていただき楽しかったです。

This was my second time in Fukui, and since the Dinosaur Museum was included in my itinerary this time, I participated. The bus guide explained everything with great effort, which deepened my knowledge about Fukui. Although I joined this time during a break in my schedule for a different purpose, I would like to join a full-day course next time.

2度目の福井、前回来た時には行かなかった恐竜博物館が旅程に入っていたので、参加しました。
バスガイドさんが一生懸命説明してくれたので、福井に関する知識が深まりました。
今回は、別目的できた合間時間での参加でしたが、次来る時は1日のコースに参加したいです。

I chose how to spend the last day. It was reassuring that lunch was included. The bus guide's explanations were very thorough and wonderful. Thank you very much.

最後の1日の過ごし方で､選びました。お昼も付いているので、安心でした。バスガイドさんの説明がとても丁寧で素晴らしかったです。ありがとうございました。

I was able to spend a relaxing time, and it was enjoyable. The water buffalo were cute, and I was surprised at how smart they were. The explanation about the island was thorough, and it truly became a wonderful memory.

のんびりとした時間を過ごすことが出来、楽しかったです。水牛が可愛く､とても頭が良くびっくりしました。島の説明も丁寧で､本当に良い思い出になりました。

Just by riding the bus, we arrived at the zoo! It was so easy. The bus guide also shared stories at just the right pace, which was enjoyable. We had a 20-minute bathroom break at the service area, which was just right. However, since we arrived at the East Gate (I think the front entrance is crowded), we had to go down from the top of the hill and then climb back up, which was a bit tough.

バスに乗っているだけで、動物園に到着！
楽ちんです　バスガイドさんも適度にお話しをしてくださって楽しかった
SAでトイレ休憩は20分　ちょうどいいです
ただ、到着が東門のため（正面だと混んでいるのだと思いますが）山の上から下に降りて登ってこないといけなくてちょっと大変です

It was a great experience with my family. Not only was the food delicious, but the driver was a rare female. Unfortunately, we couldn't enter Kamoi Cape because of the bears. However, the weather was fantastic, and I'm glad we signed up for this day.

跟家人一起，不僅餐食好吃+司機是少見的女生。可惜是因為有熊所以無法進入的神威岬。但天氣非常之好，幸好有報名這天。很棒的體驗。

Taketomi Island has many attractions, and my free time passed in the blink of an eye. The beach and the streets with red-tiled roofs were wonderful, creating a soothing atmosphere.

竹富島は見どころが多くフリータイムはあっという間に過ぎてしまいました。浜も赤瓦の街並みも素敵で癒される空間でした。

I was glad that I could visit the places I wanted in a short amount of time. For lunch, I spent a lot of time deciding which restaurant to choose at the outer market, and it took a while for the food to come out, so I ended up not having enough time to pick out souvenirs. It would have been better if we could have had a little more time.

短時間で行きたい所が回れて良かったです。
お昼ご飯は、場外市場でどのお店にしようか迷って時間がかかり、更に料理が出てくるのに時間がかかって､お土産品を選ぶ時間が無くなってしまいました。もう少し時間を長くとってもらえると良かったです。

I wanted to visit Shirakawa-go, but access is difficult if you go on your own, so I made a reservation.

Even on a weekday, it was almost full, with only two Japanese participants. It seemed that all the other participants were Chinese. The guide's explanations were mostly in Chinese.

There was no traffic, and I was able to comfortably reach my desired destination, so I was glad I used this service.

白川郷に行ってみたく、自分で行くにはアクセスが悪いため申込。

平日でもほぼ満席で日本人は2人のみ。他の参加者はどうやら全員中国人。ガイドさんの説明は9割中国語でした。
渋滞もなく快適に行きたい場所へ行くことができ利用してよかったです。

My elderly parents participated together. They were happy that the guide said, "You can take a break here if you get tired," and took many photos for them. They also mentioned that the lunch was very delicious! I'm glad we included lunch. We were very satisfied to visit the highlights of Kyoto in one day. Thank you!

高齢の両親が2人で参加しました。ガイドさんには、｢疲れたらここで休憩してもいいですよ｣と声をかけていただいたり、写真もたくさん撮ってくれたと喜んでいました。昼食もとても美味しかった！と言っていました。ランチ付きにして良かったです。
1日で京都の見所ある観光名所を回れて大満足でした。ありがとうございました！

The world of mythology and the breathtaking natural wonders were great. Even with my 65-year-old stamina, I managed to keep up. We were the only Japanese people there, but we had a wonderful time.

神話の世界と、自然脅威の絶景。良かったです。65歳の体力でもなんとか付いていけます。日本人は私達だけでしたが十分に楽しめました。

I participated with an elementary school student. Since we didn't have a car, we opted for a bus tour, and along the way, the guide shared a lot of useful knowledge about Okinawa, which was very educational.

At Sefa Utaki, we had some extra time, so we enjoyed the stunning views at Chinen Misaki. In the Gyokusendo Cave, they provided us with insect repellent spray and let us carry a thermos of salted barley tea, allowing us to explore leisurely for about an hour. It was cold and very refreshing.

We arrived at the airport around 1 PM, and we were able to spend a very meaningful morning.

小学生と二人で参加しました。
車がないのでバスツアーにしましたが、道中ガイドさんのためになる沖縄知識をたくさんお話してくださり大変勉強になりました。
斎場御嶽は時間が余ったので知念岬で絶景を楽しみ、ガンガラーの谷では虫除けスプレーをしてくれ、塩麦茶の水筒を持たせてもらい約1時間ほどゆっくり探索できました。冷たくてありがたかったです。
空港には13時ごろに到着して、午前中をかなり有意義に過ごせました。

It was a bit of a tough schedule, but I was glad to be able to visit several landmarks in one day. The guide was knowledgeable, and the explanations were easy to understand. I was impressed by the beautiful scenery of Hokkaido. If I have the chance, I would like to experience another course as well.

少しハードなスケジュールでしたが、一日で何箇所の名所巡ることが出来て、よかったです。ガイドさんも専門的、説明も分かりやすかったです。北海道の素晴らしい風景に感動しました。機会があれば、別のコースも体験したいと思います。

I went during the Obon holiday.
It was close to 35 degrees, but the bus was cool and comfortable.
With explanations in both English and Japanese, we understood the highlights well, and when we got off the bus to explore the area, it was great that the kids had a sense of purpose in what they were seeing!
I was worried it might be tough for the younger elementary school kids in this heat, but they were able to recharge their energy on the bus and found things they wanted to see and do at the attractions, allowing them to enjoy the exploration.
Both adults and children were able to have fun.
Thank you!

お盆休みに行きました。
35度近い中、バスの中は涼しく快適。
英語と日本語の解説があり、程よく名所の内容がわかったところで、バスを降り現地を巡るので、子供達も見るものの目的意識がついてよかったです！
小学生の低学年にはキツイかなぁ〜、この暑さ大丈夫かなぁ〜、と思ってましたが、バスでエネルギーを貯め、名所で見たい物ややりたいことを見つけて散策できていました。
大人も子供も楽しむことができました。
ありがとうございます。

Noboribetsu's Hell Valley has a sulfur smell similar to Hakone, giving it a hot spring feel. You might not fully appreciate it unless you stay overnight. Lake Toya was magnificent and beautiful. The balloon pudding and drinking yogurt were very delicious, but due to the Obon holiday, some dining places were closed, resulting in long lines... The bear ranch, which I didn't have high expectations for, turned out to be enjoyable with the cubs, food-catching bears, waving bears, and lazy bears!

登別の地獄谷は箱根と同じく硫黄臭いで温泉感あり。一泊しないと良さがわからないかも。洞爺湖は雄大で奇麗でした。風船プリン・飲むヨーグルトは大変美味しかったですが、お盆休みで食事処がお休みもあって行列が長くて。。。あまり期待していなかったクマ牧場が、子熊・餌キャッチ熊・手を振る熊・怠惰な熊など楽しめました！

Having Chinese friends made the guided tour in Chinese extremely helpful. We were able to fully enjoy the northern course, and it seemed that we received useful advice from the guide for our activities later on.

中国人の友人達だったので中国語ガイド付きは非常に助かりました。コースも北部を満喫出来ましたし、後日以降の活動に役立つアドバイスをガイドさんからいただいていたようでした。

I found a tour just for the Shakotan Peninsula! I signed up immediately. Last year, on the same day, the sightseeing tour at Lake Toya had terrible weather due to a typhoon. This year, it was a complete revenge with the best weather. At Cape Kamui, we could only go as far as the gate that prohibits women due to bear sightings, which was disappointing. But the surrounding scenery was amazing. The lunch was better than I expected. I also recommend the optional sightseeing boat in America since it's a great opportunity. The guide made a lot of announcements, which was nice. It was a fantastic tour with great cost performance, and I even got change from 10,000 yen. I highly recommend it!

積丹半島だけのツアーを探してたらあった！即決申し込みしました。昨年同日の洞爺湖等観光ツアーでは台風で最悪の天候。
今年はリベンジとばかり最高のお天気になりました。神威岬では熊出没情報の為、女人禁制の門までしか行けず残念。でも周りの風景は最高でした。昼食も思っていたよりよかったです。美国でのオプション観光船もせっかくの機会なのでおすすめです。
ガイドさんがたくさんアナウンスしてくださったのも良かったです。一万円でお釣りがきたコスパ最高のツアーでした。
すっごくおすすめです！

During my trip from Honshu to Sapporo, I decided to make a reservation to visit a place I hadn't planned on initially. Although the lavender at Farm Tomita and Shikisai no Oka had already been harvested, the flowers were still beautifully in bloom.

【Positive Points】
- At the lunch venue, you can order wine and other drinks for an additional fee (I heard grape juice is also available).
- While there was no lavender, other flowers were blooming, so you can still enjoy the visit if you're not solely focused on seeing lavender.

【Thoughts】
- There seemed to be a shop at the lunch venue, but for some reason, it was closed.
- Since the destinations are all popular spots, everywhere was quite crowded (there was a long wait for food).
- Most of the time was spent traveling, and gradually, the little children on the bus were getting bored.

本州から札幌まで旅行中、始め予定はしていなかったけれどやはり一度行きたいと思い立ち予約。
ファーム富田も四季彩の丘も、ラベンダーはもう刈り取られた後でしたが綺麗にお花は咲いていました。

【良かった点】
・昼食会場は別料金を払えばワインなども頼める(ぶどうジュースもあるそうです)
・ラベンダーは無いけれど、花自体は咲いているので絶対ラベンダーを見たいというわけでなければ楽しめる


【思った事】
・昼食会場に売店があるようだが、なぜか開いていなかった
・行き先が人気がある場所ばかりのため、どこも混雑が酷い(その場で食べるもの系はだいぶ並びます)
・大半が移動のため、バスの中でだんだん小さなお子様が飽きてしまっていて来ていた

It was my first tour, but I was able to go to various places without wasting time, which was great! The guide was also good! I wish I had a bit more time for souvenirs, but I guess this is how it is. I would like to use this service again!

ツアーは初めてでしたが無駄なく色々行けたのでよかった！
ガイドさんも良かった！
お土産の時間もう少し欲しかったけどこんなものかな。また利用したいです！

I could only go partway to Cape Kamoi because bears were spotted there. I can only think that I was unlucky, but it's a shame I couldn't see the whole thing.

神威岬では熊が出没したとのことで、途中までしか行けませんでした。運が悪かったと思うしかないけど、全体が見られなくて残念でした。

It was a very helpful tour that allowed me to visit major spots by bus (and listen to historical guides through earphones) since I can't drive. However, my enjoyment was greatly diminished due to a family sitting behind me. Their young child (presumably preschool age) was very energetic, and their loud conversations and singing made the atmosphere quite noisy. Despite my request to close the curtains because the sunlight was blinding, it was ignored, making the car environment far from comfortable.

I was also irritable due to fatigue from consecutive travel days, so I acknowledge my part in that. However, since the bus was full and I couldn't change seats, it felt like a test of patience. If there were tours designed for families that encourage lively conversations and fun, as well as tours that maintain a certain level of decorum for those who want a more peaceful experience, I would definitely consider participating again if the bus environment could be more secure and comfortable.

車を運転できないのでバスで行きたいと思っていた主要箇所を回れる（かつ、イヤホンで歴史などのガイドも聞ける）とてもありがたいツアーでした。
ただ、後ろに乗ってたファミリーのお陰で楽しさは激減でした…未就学児（推定）のお子様が非常に元気で会話やお歌の声がとても大きいことに加え、日光が眩しいからカーテンを閉めて欲しいと依頼しても無視で車内環境はうるさい・眩しいで快適とは程遠かったです。
連日の旅で疲れてたのもありイライラしてしまった私も悪いですが、満席で席が変えられず車中はひたすら我慢大会でしたので、子供が楽しく会話できる賑やか歓迎のファミリー向けツアー、車内をある程度のマナーをもって過ごしたい人向けツアーなどで車内治安が守られ安心して参加できそうであればぜひ次の参加も検討したいです。

On the bus, I listened to explanations about the history and characteristics of the places we visited and passed through while wearing earphones. I learned a lot of new things!

Unfortunately, at Farm Tomita, the lavender season had ended, so it had already been harvested, but the other flowers were incredibly beautiful and enjoyable!

The Blue Pond was extremely crowded, and we got caught in a bit of traffic before the bus reached the parking lot, which delayed our arrival. However, once we got in, we were able to walk around smoothly and see everything properly. The colors were really beautiful!

Personally, I found Shikisai no Oka to be absolutely amazing, and I definitely want to come back. The views were great from everywhere! The flower fields were beautiful, and the green mountains and fields visible beyond the flower fields created a stunning landscape. Although there were many people, the area was very spacious, so it didn't feel crowded. I hope to ride the tractor and helicopter that I had to give up due to time constraints someday…

The alpaca farm on the premises is also incredibly cute, so I recommend it.

I was a bit worried that the bus tour of popular tourist spots in Hokkaido might have a lot of inbound tourists with poor manners, especially since it was during the Obon holiday. However, in reality, that wasn't the case at all; it felt like about 80% Japanese and 20% foreigners, and everyone, including the foreigners, had good manners, which was reassuring. There were hardly any people who were late for the bus meeting times at each spot (if there were, it was only about 3 minutes late), so I was glad to see that everyone was quite punctual.

バスの中では、イヤホンをつけてバスツアーで訪れる場所、通る場所の歴史や特色に関する説明を聞きました。知らないことばかりで勉強になりました〜

ファーム富田は残念ながらラベンダーの時期は終わってたので刈り取られちゃってましたが、それ以外のお花がすごく綺麗で楽しめました！

青い池は人がめちゃくちゃ多くて、バスが駐車場に着くまでにちょっと渋滞に巻き込まれて到着が遅れてしまいましたが、入ってみたら意外とすいすい歩けてちゃんと見られました。色がすごく綺麗でした〜

個人的には四季彩の丘がめちゃくちゃ良くて、また絶対来たいと思いました。どこにいても眺めが良い！花畑が綺麗なのはもちろん、花畑の向こうに見える山とか畑？の緑も含めてすごく綺麗な風景でした。人多かったですが、敷地内もすごく広々としているのでゴミゴミしてる感じはなかったです。時間の関係で諦めたトラクターもヘリコプターもいつか乗ってみたい…
敷地内にあるアルパカ牧場もめちゃくちゃかわいいのでおすすめです。

北海道の人気観光地のバスツアーって、インバウンド客がたくさんいてマナーが悪かったりするんだろうか…しかもお盆の時期だし、と若干心配でしたが、実際はそんなことはなく8割日本人2割外国人？くらいの感じで外国人の方も含めて皆さんマナー良い方ばかりで安心しました。
各訪問スポットでのバス集合時間に遅れる人もほとんどおらず(いても3分遅れくらい)ちゃんとしてる人ばかりでよかった〜と思いました。

The bus takes you around the main attractions, making it easy for seniors like me to enjoy sightseeing. Most of the participants were foreigners, but I made friends with one who started talking to me. However, there were some places where we had to walk quite a bit, which was challenging. Overall, I’m glad I participated.

バスで主要な場所を回ってくれるので私のようなおばあちゃんシニアも楽に観光できる。
ほとんど外国人ぱかりだったが、一緒に参加した外国人が話しかけてきて友だちになった。
ただ、途中結構歩くのが大変な場所もあった。
総じて参加して良かった

The guide and the driver were very kind, and I was able to enjoy a fun day of sightseeing. I was worried, but the weather was nice and very beautiful. Although the general public had to wait for lunch, I was able to get in right away and the food was very delicious.

ガイドさんや運転手さんがとても親切で一日中楽しい観光が出来ました。
心配していましたが、お天気も良くてとても綺麗でした。
お昼も一般の方は待っていましたが、直ぐに入ってお食事できてとても美味しかったです。

I had a great time visiting places I had never been to before. I was impressed by the guide, as there were mostly foreign visitors. I was surprised to learn that Stonehenge and the Moai statues are located near the Great Buddha. The food court at the outer market wasn't too crowded, so I was able to eat at a leisurely pace.

行ったことのない場所ばかりで楽しかったです。外国の方ばかりでガイドさんが凄いなって思いました。頭大仏の場所にストーンヘッジやモアイ像があるのを知らなかったので驚きました。場外市場の食堂はそんなに混んでいなくてゆっくり食べられました。

The dinosaur museum was very crowded during the summer vacation and the long three-day weekend, but as expected with tourist buses, we were able to enter smoothly. We also had plenty of time to explore, which was satisfying. Although it was disappointing that Hiraizumi Temple was rainy, I thought I would like to visit the moss temple again for its atmosphere. The guide's explanations were enjoyable, and we had a great time.

恐竜博物館は夏休みな上三連休でとても混んでいたがさすが観光バスなのでスムーズに入場できた。また見学時間もたっぷりあり満足できた。平泉寺も雨で残念だったが雰囲気のある苔寺でもう一度行きたいと思った。
ガイドさんの説明も楽しく良い時間を過ごせた。

It was a convenient tour that allowed us to easily enjoy popular spots in Furano and Biei! The guide was great with the audio guide, making it very accessible.

The cheese fondue and hamburgers at Furano Wine House were incredibly delicious, and I definitely want to go back for more. The only downside was that the souvenir shop was closed, and I couldn't purchase the wine that isn't available online, which was disappointing. However, I want to keep that as something to look forward to for my next visit!

Also, the bus in the summer was very hot, even with the air conditioning, when the sun was shining. 💦

富良野、美瑛の人気スポットを手軽に楽しめるツアーでした！ガイドも音声ガイドで手軽で申し分なかったです。
特にふらのワインハウスのチーズフォンデュ、ハンバーグは大変美味でまた食べに行きたいと思います。唯一、お土産やさんが閉まっていてオンライン販売をしていないワインを購入出来ず残念でしたがまた行く楽しみとして残しておきたいなと思います！
あと夏のバスは日が照る方はクーラーあってもとても暑かったです💦
