All Reviews for Bus Tours

Shirakawa-go is definitely worth a visit. While exploring the town is nice, be sure to go up to the observation deck as well. It's a shame that I only had time to buy souvenirs in Takayama.

白川郷は一度は訪れると良いですよ街中散策も良いですが展望台も上がってみて下さい
飛騨高山はお土産を買う時間しかなかったのが残念

Most of the participants were from overseas, and the guide provided explanations in three languages. It was also great that the bus was large and spacious. We were able to visit three tourist attractions in one day, and the time spent at each location was just right.

参加者のほとんどが海外の方で、ガイドさんは3カ国語で説明をしてくれました。バスが大型で広々使うことができたのもよかったです。観光名所3ヶ所に1日で行け、滞在時間もそれぞれちょうどよかったです。

I can't navigate this efficiently on my own. The ferry from Ishigaki to the remote islands was clean and had restrooms. The crew worked efficiently and were friendly, and the bus driver on the Iriomote cruise was an excellent guide! We even saw a crowned eagle. Yubu Island was lovely with the sound of the sanshin and the cuteness of the water buffalo. The rental bicycles on Taketomi Island were also pleasant and allowed for an efficient tour! I'm very satisfied.

実際自分ではこんなに効率良く回れません。石垣から離島への船は綺麗でトイレも付いていました。船員さんもテキパキ働いて感じが良く西表クルーズに西表島のバスの運転手さんのガイドの上手なこと！冠鷲も見られました。由布島も三線の音色と水牛の可愛さ。竹富島のレンタサイクルも感じが良くて効率的に回れました！満足です。

The sightseeing tour on the open-top bus was enjoyable, but I wonder why I couldn't make a reservation despite there being more than half of the seats available and the bus showing as fully booked. Is it because the tour company is reserving them? I hope they can open up reservation slots at scheduled times.

オープントップバスでの観光は楽しめたが、
空席が半数以上あったにも関わらず、満席表示で予約が取れなかったのは何故でしょうか？観光会社が占有しているのでしょうか。時間を決めて予約枠を開放して欲しいと思いました。

It was a tour with a rental bicycle on Taketomi Island, but I was disappointed because the bike was shabby. It was an old bicycle, and pedaling was very heavy, leaving me exhausted.

竹富島でレンタルサイクル付きのツアーでしたが自転車がしょぼくてがっかり　使い古された自転車でペダルを漕ぐのがとても重くてへとへと

I efficiently toured the island. The guide explained and showed me places that are difficult to visit alone. It was fun.

効率よく、島内を観光しました。一人ではなかなか観光できない箇所をガイドさんが説明して案内してくれました。楽しかったです。

Initially, I planned to go on my own, but the online individual reservations for the Alpine Route's transportation tickets were already sold out, so I gave up. I looked for other options since major tours were either sold out or did not fit my schedule, and that's when I found this one.

Not only did we visit Kurobe and Tateyama, but we also efficiently toured Hida Takayama and Shirakawa-go in a 2-day, 1-night trip, and I was very satisfied. The bus drivers were two Japanese individuals who drove perfectly. They maintained smiles, ensured safety during boarding and alighting, and even helped with luggage, providing a very reassuring Japanese-style hospitality.

The guide, Liu, was also very good with time management and announcements. I usually travel independently, but I was glad to use a bus tour this time. The other tour members were all visitors to Japan besides my family, but everyone adhered to the schedule and rules, and there were no noisy people.

最初は自分で行こうと計画していたが、アルペンルートの乗り物WEB切符のオンライン個人予約がすでに完売していたので断念。
大手のツアーは完売もしくは日程が合わず、他を探していたところ、こちらを見つけた。
黒部立山だけでなく、飛騨高山、白川郷もまで、1泊2日で効率よく周ることができ大満足。
バスのドライバーさんは日本人の2人体制で、完璧な運転。笑顔を絶やさず、乗り降りの際の安全確認、荷物の上げ下ろしまでしてくれて、日本流のおもてなしで非常に安心。
ガイドの劉さんの時間配分やアナウンスも大変上手。普段は個人旅行だけど、今回はバスツアーを利用して良かった。
ツアーのメンバーは私たち家族以外、訪日客ばかりだったけど、皆さん時間やルール厳守で、騒ぐ人もいなかった。

I felt that there weren't many activities on Iriomote Island, as we only got to see the mangrove forest along the Nakama River on a sightseeing boat, which was a bit unsatisfying. The time spent traveling to and from Yubu Island by water buffalo cart felt like it stood still... On Taketomi Island, I was able to rent a bicycle, which allowed me to go to Kaiji Beach and Yako Beach, and that was fun. The weather improved, and the color of the sea was beautiful, making it an enjoyable tour.

西表島ではアクティビティがないため遊覧船で仲間川のマングローブの森を見るだけなのが物足りなかった。水牛車での由布島への往復の時間はときの流れが止まっていたような…竹富島はレンタサイクルを借りられたのでカイジ浜ヤコンドイ浜まで行けて楽しかった。お天気が良くなり海の色も美しくて楽しいツアーでした。

The weather was clear with some clouds, and the temperature was pleasantly warm… the breeze was comfortable and refreshing. This tour allows you to visit Osaka's famous spots in about an hour, making it perfect for when you're short on time, and the best part is that you can sit while traveling. The view from the second floor of the open-top double-decker bus offered a perspective that you don't usually get to see. Additionally, the guide provided explanations, which helped me learn new things. Finally, we used the highway, and it was quite an interesting experience to see the guide signs up close overhead.

お天気も雲がかかっている晴れで、気温も暑すぎず…風が心地よくて気持ちよかったです。
大阪の名所を一時間程度で回れるツアーなので、時間がないときにも最適ですし、何より座ったままの移動なのがありがたい。
屋根がない二階建てバスの2階からの目線はいつもでは見られない景色を楽しめました。
また、ちゃんとガイドさんが説明をしてくださるので、知らないことを知れてよかったです。
最後に高速道路を使うのですが、案内看板を頭上近くで感じたり…なかなか面白い体験でした。

It was great to visit places like Cape Chikyu and Showa Shinzan, which are difficult to reach by train. Since we stopped by many places in one day, it was a bit hectic, but I never felt like I had too much free time.

地球岬や昭和新山などは電車では行きにくいところなので、今回のツアーで巡れて良かったです。1日で多くのところに立ち寄るので少し忙しないですが、時間を持て余すこともなかったです。

I used the Sky Bus for the first time. I rode with my 85-year-old father and three generations together. I didn't have high expectations, but the moment we got on the expressway, I fully enjoyed the refreshing feeling of the open bus. It was like a natural roller coaster; it was so much fun!

初めてスカイバス利用しました。
８５歳の父と三世代で乗車
そんなに期待していませんでしたが、首都高に乗った瞬間から
オープンバスの爽快感を満喫
まるで天然ジェットコースターのよう、めちゃくちゃ楽しかった。

I was able to use it with peace of mind, without any troubles. Thank you very much. I would like to use it again next time.

特にトラブルもなく、安心して利用できました。ありがとうございました。また、次回も利用したいと思います。。

The guide was Chinese and was fluent in Japanese, using three languages as indicated in the tour information. Most of the participants were Chinese, with only us being Japanese, but the guide paid close attention to us and provided detailed sightseeing information. We were able to enjoy the tour with peace of mind. Thank you, guide.

中国人のガイドさんでした。ツアーの案内のとおり3カ国語を使いこなせる方で、流暢な日本語でした。利用者の殆どは中国の方で日本人は私達のみでしたがガイドさんは私達によく気を配り詳しく観光案内をしていただけました。安心してツアーを満喫できました。ガイドさん、ありがとうございました。

It was a tour from Kanazawa Station to Shirakawa-go, and the tour guide was wonderful! There were more than half foreign visitors, and they guided us in both Japanese and English in a fun way.

The beautiful gassho-zukuri scenery of Shirakawa-go was truly amazing. I want to visit Shirakawa-go in winter as well!

金沢駅から白川郷へのツアーでしたが添乗員の方が素晴らしかったです‼️
外国人の方が半数以上居たのですが日本語英語と楽しくガイドして頂きました。

白川郷の素敵な合掌造り景色がとても素晴らしかった。冬の白川郷にも来たいと思います‼️

It was a packed 1-night, 2-day trip, but it turned out to be a wonderful journey without any dull moments. The snow corridor at the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route was particularly impressive! We were blessed with good weather, and every photo we took came out beautifully. I would love to go again.

1泊2日の強行軍でしたが、逆に間延びのしないぎっしり詰まった素晴らしい旅行となりました。
特に立山黒部アルペンルートの雪の大谷は圧巻の迫力！天気にも恵まれ、どんな写真を撮っても綺麗に撮れました。
また行きたいなと思いました。

I enjoyed seeing the mangroves, experiencing island time with tropical flowers and water buffalo carts, and was moved by the colors of the beaches and sea in Taketomi Island. This wonderful scenery is something we all must continue to preserve.

マングローブを見たり、南国の花や水牛車で島時間を体感、竹富島のビーチや海の色に感動しました。この素晴らしい景色は、みんなでずっと維持していかなければいけないものですね

I was with people from various countries, and I was impressed by everyone's good manners. I would like a map to be prepared in advance. It was my first time visiting Gujo Hachiman, and I want to go again early.

多国の方とご一緒でしたがみなさんマナーが良く関心しました。
事前にマップを用意して欲しいです。
郡上八幡は初めて訪れた場所でした、早い時間にもう一度行きたいです。

Although the weather was unfortunate, it only drizzled occasionally, and the road conditions were fine, allowing us to enjoy a full day of sightseeing. I am very grateful for Kim's sincere support and guidance during the tour. Both his English and Japanese were excellent. I found the information he researched about AW and Kadena Air Base to be very interesting.

Since it was a group activity, it would have been nice to cooperate on meeting times, but it was a bit disappointing that we ran out of sightseeing time. The Banta Cafe was a clean and lovely space, but due to the weather, we couldn't see the sunset that day, and 50 minutes felt long. It would have been better if we could have extended our stay at the Ryukyu Village in Maejima, which had been shortened. The Eisa performance was impressive, and I wanted to soak in the afterglow and take a closer look at the relocated Okinawan-style buildings.

Visiting so many attractions is something special about traveling by bus, and it was enjoyable.

あいにくの天気でしたが、降るときもポツポツ程度で、道路状況も問題なく、１日観光を楽しめました。添乗のキムさんの誠実な対応、案内にたいへん感謝しています。英語も日本語も見事でした。ご自分で調べられたAWや嘉手納基地の情報もとても興味深く聴きました。
団体行動なので、集合時刻等を協力し合いたいところですが、少し観光時間が押したところが残念でした。バンタCafeは清潔で素敵な空間でしたが、この日は天候上、夕日を望めず、50分は長かったです。その分、縮まってしまっていた前地の琉球村滞在を長くしていただけるとよかったです。エイサーは圧巻で、余韻に浸りたかったし、移築された沖縄風建造物をじっくりと見たかったです。
盛りだくさんな観光地訪問はバス旅ならではで、楽しかったです。

I participated in a tour of the Sefa Utaki and the Gangala Valley. Sefa Utaki was a sacred place, and I had to be careful while walking because the ground was slippery after the rain. At Gangala Valley, I learned about the "Minatogawa people" from 20,000 years ago, which was very educational. I felt like I was exploring a cave with tropical plants and lamps. It was efficient to visit two places in the morning.

斎場御嶽とガンガラーの谷のツアーに参加しました。
斎場御嶽は神聖な場所でした、雨上がりで足元が悪く滑りやすいので注意して歩きました。
ガンガラーの谷は２万年前の人類「港川人」の説明を聞き勉強になりました。
南国の植物やランプを持って洞窟をまわり探検している気分でした。
午前中に2カ所まわれて効率的でした。

The bus tour was very comfortable. It's fine even if you're alone. The timing was just right and convenient. I would like to use it again when I have a little free time.

バスツアーなのでとても快適に過ごせました。1人でも問題ないです。時間も丁度よく、便利です。また、少し時間ができた時など利用したいです。

The bus guide's explanations were clear, and they provided detailed points and advice regarding the free time in advance, allowing us to use our time effectively. I was reminded of the advantages of bus tours. Although it was a half-day tour, I was very satisfied.

バスガイドさんの説明がわかりやすく、フリー時間に関しても事前に細かく注意点やアドバイスをしてくれたので時間を有効に使って動けました。これがバスツアーの利点だなと改めて感じました。半日ツアーでしたが、とても満足でした。

This was my first time using the service. Last time, I used a different bus company, but this time, I received detailed explanations about various sights, songs, and maps from the window. Since lunch was not included, the information about takeout options and places where we couldn't take meal breaks was very considerate, making for a fulfilling day of travel. Thank you to the guide!

初めて利用させて頂きました。
前回は別のバス会社で利用しましたが、今回は車窓からの色々な説明や歌、地図での説明や見所についての時間の説明など細かく教えて頂きました。
ランチはついていないため、テイクアウト情報や食事時間が取れない観光地など、気配りが凄く良くて一日中充実した旅行となりました。
ガイドさんありがとうございました。

We had a lot of free time to spend in the villages. The guide and driver were both very experienced and well organized.

We loved the lunch in an traditional restaurant in a very small village. ( Only 9 houses).

We can highly recommend this trip!

This tour is great and convenient to see many of Okinawa's interesting points at once. It is really time-saving to have a bus (I think you will also end up saving money on trandportation). The guide speaks jamaonese, and even without understanding, I could tell she was great, because she was singing and acting the stories/info she was giving. I think the time managment was good, it was a lot of fun!

The dream island tour, with a mangrove cruise and the exquisite guidance of the water buffalo cart guide, along with an unexpectedly luxurious lunch on Yubu Island and a leisurely stroll on Taketomi Island, was truly moving and fulfilling, creating memories for a lifetime. I am also grateful to the local staff who supported the many activities.

憧れの島めぐりは、マングローブ遊覧、水牛車のガイドさんの絶妙な案内に加え、由布島での予想以上の豪華ランチ、竹富島でのゆっくり散歩で感激、満喫で、一生の思い出となりました。加えて盛りだくさんのアクティビティを支えた現地スタッフさんにも感謝です。

This bus tour is perfect for sightseeing on the island without a rental car. It also includes a delicious lunch. You can be dropped off at the airport on the way back.

レンタカーの予約無しで島の観光をしたい時にはピッタリのバスツアーです。美味しいランチもついてます。帰りは空港でおろしてもらえます。

The tour itself was guided by a kind person who provided explanations in simple Japanese just for the Japanese participants. Although it was mostly a Chinese-speaking guide, the Chinese and Taiwanese tourists also kept to the schedule, allowing us to return quickly.

ツアー自体はガイドの方は親切で日本人だけには簡単な日本語で案内してくれました。ほぼ中国語のガイドでしたが 中国人や台湾人の観光客も時間を守ってくれ早く戻ることが出来ました。

Iriomote Island is large, so we toured the island by sightseeing bus and traveled to Yubu Island by ox cart. During the ride, we enjoyed listening to the sanshin and songs, which made for an elegant moment. Additionally, since each ox has a different personality, there were explanations about that, making it a fun time. After that, we returned by ox cart, moved by bus, and took a boat to see the mangroves. The explanations were thorough, and I learned what kind of plants mangroves are. If you sit in the front, you might get splashed with water, so it might be a good idea to think about where to sit. It was a very good tour! 👍

西表島は、広いので観光バスで島内を観光し、由布島へは牛車で移動しました。移動中は、三線と唄が聴けて、優雅なひとときです。また、牛によって性格が違うので、その説明もあり、楽しい時間でした。その後、牛車で戻り、バスで移動し、船でマングローブを見学しました。説明も丁寧でマングローブがどういう植物かわかりました。前の方に座っていると水しぶきもかかったりしますので、座る場所を考えたほうが良いかもしれません。
とても良いツアーでした👍
