All Reviews for Bus Tours

The bus guide was very good, and in addition to the tour content, I learned various things about Okinawa, making for a rich travel experience. Both Sefa Utaki and Okinawa World were full of highlights, and the limestone caves and Eisa performances were particularly wonderful.

バスガイドさんがとても良く、ツアー内容の他に沖縄の様々なことを教えていただき、内容の濃い旅になった。
斎場御嶽、おきなわワールドともに見どころ満載で、鍾乳洞やエイサーショーは特に素晴らしかった。

While Shirakawa-go is famous in winter, spring is perfect for walking and exploring. A little snow remained on the ground, and the contrast between the cherry blossoms and the gassho-zukuri architecture was lovely.

冬の白川郷が有名ですが、春は歩きやすく散策には最高です。雪が地面に少し残り、桜と合掌造りのコントラストが素敵でした。

I did not go to Nikko myself, but on the occasion of Mr. Haydar, the president of a Turkish agency, visiting Japan for the first time, he expressed a desire to see historical sites. On March 25th, he participated alone in your Nikko tour. He was satisfied with everything he saw, including Toshogu Shrine, Kegon Falls, and Lake Chuzenji. He mentioned that everything was beautiful. Thank you very much. In particular, he received an explanation about the sculptures at Toshogu Shrine, such as the Sleeping Cat, and after returning to Tokyo, I received an explanation as well. He said that the next time I travel to Turkey on business, he would definitely take me to Cappadocia as a thank you for this time. After looking at the photos, one thing that caught my attention was that the water volume of Kegon Falls seemed low. I guess it changes depending on the season.

私が日光に行ったわけではなく、トルコの代理店社長、Haydar氏の初来日に際し、歴史のあるものが見たいとの事で、３月２５日、貴社の日光ツアーに１人で参加してもらいました。
東照宮、華厳の滝、中禅寺湖等、見るもの全てに満足しておりました。全てが美しかったとの事です。ありがとうございます。特に、東照宮は、眠り猫等の彫刻の説明を受けたからか、東京に戻ってきてから私が説明を受けました。次回、私がトルコに出張時は、今回のお礼に是非、カッパドキアに連れて行くと言ってました。写真を見せてもらって、１つ気になったのは、華厳の滝の水量が少なかったなと感じた次第です。時期によって変わるんでしょうね。

The guide (Mr. Kiyuna) was easy to understand, and I was able to learn more about the current situation in Okinawa than what I see in newspapers and on TV. The driver was also kind, offering gentle words when getting on and off the bus, which made me happy. I usually don't use tourist buses when traveling, but I am grateful for this experience. I would like to visit Okinawa again! 😊

ガイドさん（喜友名様）のお話が分かりやすく、始めて訪れた沖縄の現状を新聞やテレビで見るより深く知ることができました。
運転手さんもバスの乗り降り時に優しく声をかけてくださり、嬉しかったです。旅行先で観光バスを利用しないのですが今回は乗せていただいて感謝しています。
また沖縄に行きたいと思っています😊

It was a tour that allowed us to fully enjoy southern Hokkaido from Sapporo! There were many inbound participants, and only two groups of Japanese, but the guide was multilingual, which made for a fun time!

札幌から南の北海道を存分に楽しめるツアーでした！インバウンドの方が多く参加されていて日本人は２組だけでしたが、ガイドの型が多国語を操る方で楽しい時を過ごせました！

I signed up for this tour thinking it was perfect since we would depart at 9:30 and be taken directly to the airport. The view of Kabira Bay was even more stunning than in the photos, and our guide skillfully shared the history of Ishigaki Island and famous landmarks while singing joyfully. Their beautiful singing almost brought me to tears. The driver was also very reassuring and provided excellent service. The lunch was delicious and healthy as well. I would love to visit again next time. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

9時30分出発、直接空港へ送ってもらえるのでちょうどイイツアーだなと思い申し込みました。
川平湾の景色は写真よりも絶景で石垣島の所々の歴史や、有名建造物など楽しく上手に歌を歌いながらガイドさんが案内してくれました。
素敵な歌声で涙が出そうになりました。そして運転手さんもとても安心できるドライバーさんで接客も素晴らしかったです。
お昼ご飯もとても美味しく健康的なメニューでした。
また次回も訪れたいです。
楽しい思い出をありがとうございました。

On a personal trip, I was able to efficiently visit power spots like "Kumamoto/Aso Mountain - Miyazaki/Takachiho Gorge + Amano Iwato," which cannot be covered in just one day. Additionally, the guide's explanations were excellent. I encountered many deities on this tour.

個人旅行では一日では巡れない「熊本/阿蘇山～宮崎/高千穂峡+天岩戸」などのパワースポットを効率よく回れて、尚かつ添乗員さんの説明は最高でした。このツアーでたくさんの神々とお会いしました。

I think we were the only two Japanese participants this time. The guide was from China and explained the highlights of each location in Chinese, English, and Japanese. I felt it was a great value to visit three places at this price.

今回参加した中で、私たち2名だけが日本人だったと思います。
ガイドさんは中国の方で、中国語、英語、日本語で各地の見どころを説明してくださいました。
このお値段で3カ所まわれてコスパよかったと思います。

The guided tour was very good. They provided information about photo spots and how to enjoy the experience after getting off the water buffalo, which was great. Thank you very much.

ガイド付きの案内がとてもよかったです。
写真スポットのことや水牛下車後の楽しみ方も教えてくださりよかったです。
ありがとうございました。

Every time I come to Okinawa, I participate in an aquarium tour, but this was my first time joining a tour that included Pineapple Park. It was quite an impressive park, and the weather was nice, so I really enjoyed it. There were plenty of sweets and souvenirs made with pineapple, which added to the tropical vibe. The guide shared fun stories the whole way there, so I wasn't bored on the bus. The cheerful and enjoyable bus guide made it a wonderful trip.

沖縄に来ると毎回水族館のツアーに参加していますが、パイナップルパークが組み込まれているツアー参加は今回が初でした。
なかなか見応えのあるパークで、天気もよかったので楽しめました。
パイナップルを使ったスイーツやお土産もたくさんあって南国気分をさらに味わえてよかったです。
ガイドさんも行きはずっと楽しいお話をしてくださって車内でも退屈しなかったです。
明るくて楽しいバスガイドさんでとても良い旅になりました。

We planned to spend a day sightseeing in Kyoto, initially intending to get around by bus and train on our own. However, considering the transfers and limited time, we decided to book a tour for our family of four to make the most of our visit. The bus transportation meant we didn't have to walk much, and we could leave our purchased souvenirs on the bus while visiting the next location, so we were really glad we signed up. Our guide was also very pleasant and kind!

京都は1日観光予定、最初は自分達でバスや電車で回る予定でした。
が、乗り継ぎを考え時間も限られる中、効率よく回れるなら、と家族4人で申し込みました。
バスでの移動のため、歩かなくて良く、買ったお土産をバスの中に置き次の場所を回れるし、申し込んで本当に良かったです。
ガイドさんもとても感じ良く親切でした！

The two-story bus offers a great view.
It was definitely smoother on a weekday.
I was also glad to see Osaka Castle clearly.

２階建バスなので視界はいいです。
やはり平日がスムーズでした。
大阪城もくっきりと見えて良かったです。

As I read in the reviews, it was quite a struggle to find the guide at the morning meeting point. Once I found someone who seemed to be the guide, I was shown a list to find my name. If it wasn't there, I had to go to the guide for a different bus and search for my name again.

Once the group gathered, we hurriedly followed the guide to the bus stop. The guide was Chinese, so the initial explanation was in Chinese, followed by a brief translation in English. There was hardly any explanation in Japanese.

Before arriving in Gujo, there was a long explanation in Chinese, then a brief summary in English and a little in Japanese. The free time was less than an hour, and those who wanted to walk freely had to do so on their own, while others followed the fast-paced guide. During the walk, there wasn't much explanation, and participants were busy taking photos while trying to catch up with the guide.

Once everyone was gathered, the bus departed for Hida Takayama. Again, the explanation was long in Chinese, with a simple English summary, and in Japanese it was very brief, like "This is Hida Takayama. The meeting time is at what time. That's all." I had been there several times before, so it was fine for me, but my partner, who only speaks English, found it difficult to understand if they weren't focused when the guide explained in English.

The old town was crowded with foreign tourists, and entering shops took some time, so we just walked around without stopping anywhere. The free time there was about two hours, but as long as we decided on which shops to visit and where to grab a snack, we managed to get around. This time, we had Hida beef buns, visited a chopstick shop (where I had my name engraved on chopsticks), enjoyed mitarashi dango, gohei mochi, and even did a sake tasting at a brewery (though we rushed through it).

We arrived at Shirakawa-go around 4 PM, so it was disappointing that some shops and houses were closed. The sightseeing there was mostly free as well.

We felt good about visiting three cities in one day, but I wished the guide had done a bit more guiding. If I could wish for anything, I would have liked a bit more free time, especially since our stay in Gujo was too short.

So, I gave it a rating of ⭐3.

レビューで読んでいた通り、朝の集合場所でガイドを見つけるのに一苦労。
そしてガイドらしき人をみつけたらそこでリストを見せられ自分の名前を探す→見つからなければ違う号車だからそっちのガイドのところへ行き再度自分の名前を探す。

人数が集まった様なら急ぎ足で歩くガイドのあとを必死で追いかけバス乗場まで。
ガイドは中国人だったので最初の説明は中国語。その後簡単に訳した英語。そして日本語では殆ど説明がないといっていい。

まず最初に郡上へ着く直前に長々と中国語で説明、そして簡単な英語と日本語でも少し。
自由時間は1時間もなく、自由に歩き回りたい人は自分で歩きそれ以外は早足のガイドに着いていく感じ。
歩いている間たいした説明もなく参加者は写真を撮っては早歩きでガイドに追い付く感じ。

そして人数揃ったらバスは出発飛騨高山へ。ここでも説明は同じく長い中国語での説明と簡単な英語に日本語では「飛騨高山です。集合時間は何時です。以上」みたいにとても簡素でした。
私は何度か行っていたのでそれでも大丈夫でしたが、初めて行ったパートナーは英語しか喋れないのでガイドが英語で説明する時に集中していないとよくわからない感じでした。
古い町並みは外人の観光客で溢れ、お店に入るとちょっと時間がかかってしまうため片道はどこも立ち寄らずに町を見て歩いた感じです。
そこでの自由時間は2時間くらいの自由時間でしたが行く店と買い食いするお店さえ決めておけばなんとかまわれました。
今回は飛騨牛肉まん、お箸屋さん（お箸に名前を入れてもらいました）、みたらし団子、五平餅、そして酒蔵にて飲み比べ（かなり急いで飲みましたが）もできました。

そして白川郷に着いたのが4時くらいだったので閉まっているお店や家があったのが残念でした。
ここでの観光も殆ど自由でした。

私たちは1日で3都市まわれたので良かったと思っていますが、ガイドとしてついて来るならもう少しガイドらしいことしてほしかったです。
欲を言えば自由時間がもう少し欲しかったなあと。
特に郡上での滞在は短すぎました。

ということで⭐3にさせてもらいました

It was great that we could efficiently visit places we wouldn't normally go to on our own through the bus tour. We even experienced a blizzard at high altitudes, which allowed us to fully enjoy Hokkaido. The lunch was also a well-balanced meal, and I was very satisfied.

自分たちでは、なかなか行けないような
ところを、
バスツアーで効率良く回れたのが
良かったです。
標高が高いところは、
猛吹雪も体験でき、The北海道を満喫できました。
lunchもバランスのよい食事だ
大満足です。

The Valley of Gangala exceeded my expectations; it was wonderful. The guide's explanations were truly excellent, and I was very moved. The guide was also full of humor, which made it the best experience.

ガンガラーの谷が想像を遥かに超えて，良かったです。ガイドの方の説明も大変素晴らしく，とても感動しました。ガイドさん，ユーモアもたっぷりで，最高でした。

The itinerary was efficient, and the selection of tourist spots was excellent. Our guide, Natsu, was kind and provided clear explanations, allowing us to enjoy the experience with peace of mind. I would like to participate again.

行程は無駄がなく、観光地の選定も素晴らしかったです。ガイドの夏さんも親切で説明がわかりやすく、安心して楽しめました。また参加したいと思います。

I only had a short amount of time, so I was struggling with where to go when I came across this tour. The guide provided explanations, and it was great because I couldn't have explored everything on my own in such a short time.

短い時間しかいられなかったので、どこへ行こうと悩んでいたところ、このツアーに出会いました。ガイドさんが説明してくれたり、短時間で1人では回れないのでとても良かったです。

Maa-chan, our guide, was very considerate, accommodating the few Japanese visitors even though there were many foreigners and the focus was on English. I was able to enjoy the sightseeing with peace of mind. Thank you very much.

ガイドのまぁちゃんが、外人さんが多くて英語主体でしたが、少ない日本人の対応も気遣ってくれて、安心して観光が出来ました。
ありがとうございました。

I was impressed by the mangroves surrounded by nature on Iriomote Island. After riding a water buffalo and enjoying a delicious lunch on Yubu Island, I rode a water buffalo again and rented a bicycle on Taketomi Island. The guide who accompanied us while we were on the water buffalo was interesting to talk to and was skilled at playing the sanshin. The connections between destinations were a bit challenging to navigate on my own. It was a fulfilling day that went by in a flash. You might need a bit of physical stamina as well.

西表島にて大自然に囲まれたマングローブに感激。
由布島で水牛に乗り美味しいランチを終えて竹富島で水牛に乗る&レンタサイクル。
水牛になりながら案内してくれた方や話が面白く三線もお上手でした。
繋ぎな行き先案内が自分で動くので少し難しかったです。
あっという間の1日でしたが充実しました。
少し体力も必要かもしれません。

I participated in this tour with a friend who came to Japan from abroad. I think the bus tour that takes you to Takayama and Shirakawa-go in one day is a great deal. Once we arrived in Takayama and Shirakawa-go, we had free time to enjoy cherry blossom viewing while sampling food, and we had a wonderful time.

外国から日本旅行に来た友人と一緒に参加しました。1日で高山、白川郷に連れて行ってもらえるバスツアーはお得だと思います。高山、白川郷に着いてからは自由行動で、食べ歩きをしながらお花見をしたり、楽しく過ごすことができました。

Experiencing the sights from a high vantage point while feeling the breeze was both pleasant and thrilling, making it a lot of fun. It was great to have the guide's explanations, as I was able to learn many details.

風を感じながら高い視線からの観光は心地よくもあり、スリルもあり楽しかったです。
ガイドさんの説明があったので色々詳しく知る事も出来良かったです。

It's very convenient as it efficiently takes you around the sightseeing spots on the island. You can enjoy it even without a rental car. The guide's explanations were very detailed and easy to understand, making it enjoyable. I think this local tour is especially recommended for older adults. The sightseeing bus was also large and very comfortable.

島内の観光名所を効率的に回ってくれるのでとても便利です。レンタカーが無くても、十分楽しめます。ガイドさんの説明も、とても詳細に分かりやすく楽しめました。年配者には特にお薦めの現地ツアーだと思います。観光バスも大きくてとても楽でした。

I participated in the Jomon Sugi trekking and the Taiko Rock trekking on my last day in Yakushima, and it was a great decision! The driver and guide's stories allowed me to learn more about Yakushima, which was wonderful. Although the purpose of my visit was trekking, I was able to explore around Yakushima even in the morning. I encountered Yakushima monkeys and Yakushima deer multiple times. I was thrilled to see them while walking along the Western Forest Road, not just from the car. The sea was beautiful too!

縄文杉トレッキング、太鼓岩トレッキングでヘトヘトの屋久島最終日に参加しましたが、大正解でした！
運転手兼ガイドさんのお話は屋久島の事をより深く知ることが出来て良かったです。
トレッキングが目的の屋久島でしたが、午前だけでもぐるっと屋久島を回ることが出来ました。
屋久ザルや屋久鹿も何度も会うことが出来ました。車中からだけではなく、西部林道を歩きながら会えた時は感激しました。
海も綺麗でした！

Our guide, Bara, provided guidance in English, which was helpful for my husband, whose native language is English. She marked the places we should visit on the map in advance and explained everything before we arrived at the location, which was very helpful. We also had plenty of free time and were able to spend the best time as a family. The driver drove safely, so we felt secure during the ride.

ガイドのバラさんが英語でガイドして下さり英語が母国語の主人は助かりました。行くべき場所を事前にマップに印をつけてて下さり、現地に着く前に説明をして下さり助かりました。自由時間も十分にあり家族で最高の時間を過ごすす事が出来ました。ドライバーさんも安全運転で安心して乗れました。

It was a packed tour from morning to evening, but the time allocation was just right, allowing us to enjoy it at a leisurely pace. The bus driver on Iriomote Island and the guide for the mangrove tour were both very kind.

朝から夕方まで盛りだくさんのツアーですが、過不足なく丁度いい時間配分で、ゆっくりと楽しめました。西表島のバスのドライバーさん、マングローブツアーのガイドさんもとても親切でした。

Following my trip to Hawaii, I was also well taken care of during my time in Okinawa. The tour guide and the driver were kind and attentive. I traveled alone, but it was comfortable. It was a packed tour, so I highly recommend it for sightseeing in Okinawa. However, there were many overseas visitors, and the strong fragrance from the front row made it difficult for me throughout the day.

ハワイに続き、今回の沖縄でもお世話になりました。ツアー担当の方も運転手さんも親切で丁寧。一人旅で利用しましたが、快適でした。沢山詰め込んだツアーだったので大変沖縄観光ではオススメです。ただ、海外の方も多く、前列のフレグランスがきつくて、終日辛かった。

I have fond memories of experiencing the water buffalo cart when I was a child, so this time I participated with my family. The tour itself was satisfactory with polite service from the ferry terminal, but the water buffalo cart, which I was looking forward to, was disappointing. Perhaps because our group was the largest (7 people), we were assigned to go last, even though we weren't the last to arrive. Additionally, since half of us, including my husband, were British, the guide hardly paid us any attention, and being at the back meant we could barely hear anything, which was quite disappointing.

水牛車は私が子どもの頃に体験して良い想い出に残っていたので、今回自分の家族と参加しました。ツアー自体はフェリー乗り場からご丁寧な対応で満足でしたが、楽しみにしていた水牛車は、私たちのグループが1番大人数(7人)だったせいか、最後に着いた訳では無いのに1番最後に回され、主人も含め半分イギリス人だったせいか、ガイドにも全く相手にされず、1番後ろだったのでほとんど雑音にしか聞こえずがっかりでした。

It wasn't too crowded, and it was easy to move around. The guide was very kind and attentive, looking after all the participants. Since we were in the mountains, the weather changed frequently, which was challenging, but the main attraction, Takachiho Gorge, had beautiful weather, and we were able to see stunning scenery. The bus seats were a bit cramped, which made my legs tired, but other than that, I have no complaints.

大人数すぎず、動きやすかった。
ガイドさんもとても親切丁寧で、参加者みんなを気にかけてくださる優しい方でした。山のほうなので天気がコロコロ変わって大変でしたが、メインの高千穂峡はいい天気になりすごく綺麗な景色を見ることができました。
バスの座席が狭かったので足腰疲れてしまいましたが、他は言う事無しです。

I felt that more than half of the participants were tourists from overseas. It was great that the bus guide came to the back seats while showing a board with multilingual instructions. Everyone adhered to the meeting times at each sightseeing spot, which made everything run smoothly. Thanks to the wonderful guide, I was able to learn a lot about Shodoshima! I’m glad I participated, as I was worried about driving.

参加者は海外からの観光客が半数以上いたように思います。バスガイドさんが注意事項などは多言語で書かれたボードを見せながら後ろの席まで来て案内してくださっていたのがよかったです。それぞれの観光地での集合時間も参加者全員が守っていたのでスムーズでよかったです。ステキなガイドさんのおかげでたくさん小豆島について知ることができました！車の運転が不安だったので参加してよかったです。

This was a sister trip, and all the sisters enjoyed it, saying the food was delicious. Mr. Wang, who was in charge of our service, was very kind and explained everything well. We all liked it very much, so we plan to book again next time.

今回は姉妹旅行でしたが、姉妹全員が楽しんで、食事もおいしかったと言っていました。サービス担当の王さんはとても親切で説明も上手でした。私たちは皆とても気に入ったので、次回もまた申し込むつもりです。
