All Reviews for Bus Tours

Although it was before full bloom, we were blessed with good weather and were able to comfortably visit the famous cherry blossom spots. It was refreshing to view the city from a high vantage point, and the guide's stories were interesting, making for an enjoyable hanami experience.

満開前でしたが、天候に恵まれ、快適に桜の名所巡りができました。
高い視点から街を眺めるのも新鮮で、ガイドさんの話も面白く、楽しく花見ができました。

I thought it was cold, but it didn't bother me.
I enjoyed the ropeway at Mount Usu.
Everyone was punctual, and the movement and shopping went smoothly without any concerns.

寒いと思ったが.気にならなかった。
有珠山の.ロープウェイ楽しめたね。
時間も皆さん確実に守り移動.買い物も.気にならず.スムーズだった。

I was the only Japanese person, and at first, I was anxious, but with just one word from the guide, I felt reassured and had a fun day. I'm really glad I participated in this tour.

私一人日本人で、はじめは不安でしたがガイドさんの一言で安心して1日楽しく過ごせました。このツアーに参加して大変良かったと思います。

The weather on the day was not great, with rain coming and going and occasional glimpses of sunshine, but we were able to visit three islands and even ride on a water buffalo cart! The staff members were very kind, and it was a tour with the best cost-performance, all while enjoying the leisurely flow of time.

当日はお天気がイマイチで雨が降ったりやんだり時折晴れ間がのぞいたりでしたが
3島も巡れて、しかも水牛車にも乗れちゃう！それぞれのスタッフさんもとても親切だし
ゆっくり流れる時間と共にコスパ最高なツアーでした♬

On my first trip to Ishigaki Island, I participated in a tour that visited three islands. Unfortunately, it was a bit chilly and rainy, but I was very satisfied with the content of the tour. The guides provided clear explanations at each location, which made me feel comfortable participating. On Yubu Island, we enjoyed a water buffalo ride while listening to shamisen music.

I was a bit concerned about having a 2-year-old with us, but we still had a great time. If the weather had been nice, I would have loved to leisurely explore Taketomi Island, but it was a shame we had to take an early ferry back. During lunch, there were explanations about the contents of the bento, which were very easy to understand.

初めての石垣島旅行で、3島巡るツアーに参加しました。あいにくの雨模様で少し肌寒い期間でしたが、ツアーの内容は大満足でした。各場所にて担当者が解り易く説明をしてくれたりと安心して参加できました。由布島の水牛乗りでは三味線を弾いてくれました。
2歳の幼児もいたので、大変かなと思っていましたが、それでも楽しめました。
本当に、お天気が良かったら、竹富島をゆっくり散策したかったですが、早めのフェリーで帰ったのが残念です。お昼も、お弁当の中身の説明などがあって、とても解りやすかったです。

It was a tour for foreigners. The guide's English was easy to understand, and he explained Japan from a foreigner's perspective, which was educational for me as a Japanese person. It also helped me with my English pronunciation! We arrived safely at our final destination, Nara Park, but it was a pity that we couldn't make it in time for the closing hours of the Great Buddha at Todai-ji. The bus tour was convenient and enjoyable.

外国人向けのツアーでした。
ガイドさんの英語はわかりやすく外国人の視点で日本の説明をしていたので日本人として勉強になったし、わかりやすい発音で英語の勉強にもなった！最終目的地の奈良公園には無事に着いたけど東大寺の大仏の閉園時間に間に合わなかったのが残念だった。バスツアーは楽でよかった。

The waves were calm, so I was glad I didn't get seasick. The Nakagawa Mangrove Cruise was enjoyable because the weather was nice. It was a spectacular sight to see nearly ten water buffalo carts lined up for transport on a busy day at Yubu Island. I was also happy to see the Deigo flowers on Taketomi Island.

波が穏やかで船酔いせずによかったです。
仲間川マングローブクルーズは天気が良かったので、気持ちよく楽しめました。
由布島ではお客さんが多い日だったので移動の水牛車が10台近く連なっている景色は壮観でしたw
竹富島ではデイゴの花をみれてよかったです。

Compared to other companies' open-top buses, the brown glass windows create a sense of poor visibility (perhaps due to UV protection?), making it particularly not recommended to ride after it gets dark. Unfortunately, there are hardly any illuminated spots, so you need to strain your eyes to see the cherry blossoms.

While I enjoyed the pleasant drive with a gentle breeze (though this depends on the weather and seating), the cherry blossom viewing was disappointing. There is only one location where it becomes a tunnel of cherry blossoms (the total passing time is only about ten seconds), so it felt like the open-top experience didn't have much meaning.

I appreciate the effort of the guide in trying to make it exciting, but I won't be returning.

他社のオープントップのバスに比べると、ガラス窓がブラウン系のため（UVカットなのかしら⁈）視界不良感が否めず、薄暗くなってからの乗車は特にお勧めできません。（残念ながら、ライトアップされている箇所がほとんどないので、目を凝らさないと桜が見えないレベル）
そよ風が気持ちいいドライブは楽しめたけれど（但し、天候と座席によりけり）肝心のお花見は期待外れ。
桜のトンネルとなっている場所は１か所なので（通過時間はトータルで十数秒程度）、オープントップの意味があまりないように感じました。
ガイドのお姉さんが一生懸命盛り上げてくれたので感謝していますが、リピはなしです。

It was very crowded on Sunday, March 30, but the tour definitely takes you to your destination! You won't have any trouble with lunch! You can enjoy it efficiently. On the bus, the tour guide Maria provided thorough explanations, and at the end in Arashiyama, she guided those who wanted to the "Bamboo Grove." The driver was also very friendly. It was a fulfilling tour, and I had a great time!

3/30日曜日でとても混んでいたのですが
ツアーは確実に目的地に行ける！
ランチも困らない！
効率よく満喫できます。
車内では添乗員のマリアさんが丁寧に説明してくださり最後の嵐山では希望者を「竹の小径」まで案内してくださいました。
ドライバーの方も笑顔で対応してくださいました。
充実したツアーでとても楽しかったです！

During my trip to Okinawa, unfortunately, the weather was bad, and I couldn't go to the Blue Cave. However, they quickly changed the spot to Itoman City, and thanks to that, I was able to swim with sea turtles!

I heard that you wouldn't encounter turtles at the Blue Cave, so it became a very precious experience. The instructor was also very nice and provided thorough explanations.

Next time, I definitely plan to book with the same company for a revenge trip to the Blue Cave!

沖縄旅行期間、残念ながら天候が悪く
青の洞窟には行けませんでしたが、
急遽糸満市へのスポットに変更くださり
お陰で海亀と一緒に泳ぐことができました！

青の洞窟だと亀と遭遇することはなかった
そうなので、とても貴重な体験となり、

次回リベンジの青の洞窟も是非同じ
会社で予約しようと思います！

I was glad to participate this time and to visit the landmarks with the guide's explanations. Thanks to the driver's skilled driving, I felt at ease as we navigated the narrow mountain roads. Although I got off the bus in the afternoon, I appreciated that they asked about my plans and provided recommendations for places to visit afterward.

今回参加させていただき、名所をガイドさんの説明つきで回れたのが良かったです。バスのドライバーさんの巧みな運転技術で、狭い山道を進む事ができたので安心感がありました。午後のみで途中、バスから降りましたが、その後の予定なども聞いてくださりおすすめの場所などアドバイスまでいただけありがたかったです。

The male guide and driver were excellent! 😄 There were only two groups of four Japanese people among a full bus, but there was no one making noise, and everyone kept to the meeting time, so I had nothing to worry about. Thank you for a wonderful day! 💕

男性のガイドさんや運転手さんが最高でした😄満席の中日本人は二組の4人だけでしたが、車内で騒ぐ人もいなくて皆さん集合時間を守ってくれるし、何も心配いらなかったです。楽しい1日を過ごさせていただきありがとうございました💕

The cherry blossoms still had many buds, and I think it would have been better to visit a little later, but being in touch with nature helped relieve my daily fatigue! The guide's explanations in both English and Japanese were easy to understand. Thank you!

桜はまだ蕾が多く、もう少し先が良かったと思いますが、自然に触れて日頃の疲れがとれました！ガイドさんの、英語と日本語の説明分かりやすかったです。ありがとうございました！

Each tourist spot had many foreign visitors. Even so, I thought the guide had a tough job managing the schedule. Next time, I would like to avoid the high season.

各観光地は、外国の方が多かった。
それでもスケジュールをこなし、ガイドさんは大変だと思いました。
今度はハイシーズンを避けて行きたいと思いました。

I participated alone, but in Shirakawa-go, I had plenty of free time to climb the observation deck and enjoy food walking. The Hida beef steak I had for lunch was delicious. In Takayama, there were various shops, and it was very enjoyable, but I didn't have time to relax in any café.

ひとりで参加しましたが、白川郷では、展望台に登ったり、食べ歩きをしたり、十分な自由時間でした。
お昼に食べた飛騨牛ステーキが美味しかったです。
飛騨高山では、色んなお店がありとても楽しかったですが、どこかのカフェに入ってゆっくりするような時間はなかったです。

I found a tour that goes to the three islands of Iriomote Island, Yubu Island, and Taketomi Island, which is quite rare. I searched on Veltra, which I've used several times before, and... there it was! Although it felt a bit rushed, the guide's stories were enjoyable, and I was very satisfied with the tour.

西表島、由布島、竹富島３島行けるツアーがなかなか無く 何度か使ってるベルトラさんで探したら‥ありました！
駆け足で巡った感はありますが、ガイドさんのお話も楽しく すごく満足したツアーでした

I was able to see cherry blossoms in various places in a short amount of time. It was wonderful to bask in the sunlight and spring breeze. Also, the guide's announcements lifted our spirits and created a fun atmosphere.

短い時間でおやすくあちこちの桜をみることができました
お日様と春風を浴びて最高でした
また、ガイドさんのアナウンスも気分を盛り上げて楽しく雰囲気も良かったです

There were many foreign participants.
I was able to enjoy sightseeing in both Shirakawa-go and Gokayama, and there was plenty of time for sightseeing at both places. The food was also delicious.
I was quite worried about getting car sick, but the road we took in winter (the one that is not White Road) was not winding, so I didn't get sick.

外国人参加者の方が多かったです。
白川郷も五箇山も観光でき、どちらも観光時間がたっぷりあったので満喫できました。ご飯もおいしかったです。
かなり車酔いがひどいので心配でしたが、冬に通る道（ホワイトロードではない方）はクネクネしていなかったので酔いませんでした。

I participated in early March. I felt it was a great deal to be able to visit so many places in just one day. I also enjoyed the guide's explanations and songs, which made the travel time fly by. When they came to pick us up at the designated hotel, I was worried because I couldn't find the meeting point, but they spotted us from a distance and kindly called out to us, which really put me at ease. I truly feel that participating was a great decision.

3月上旬に参加しました。丸一日でこれだけ巡れるのはとってもお得だと感じました。また、ガイドさんの説明やお歌を楽しんでいたので移動時間もあっという間でした。指定のホテルまで迎えに来てくださる時、乗り場が分からず困っていたところ、遠くから自分たちを見つけて頂き、優しいお声掛けを頂いたので、すごくほっとしたのを覚えています。参加して良かったと心から思います。

I was a bit anxious before participating in the tour to Kyoto and Nara because it was only available in English, and I don't speak English very well. However, the guide was kind and helpful, which made the experience very enjoyable. I'm glad I signed up for it.

参加日の京都、奈良に行くツアーが、英語ツアーしかなく、そんなに英語が喋れたりもしないので、参加する前は少し不安でしたが、ガイドさんが優しく、親切に対応してくれた事もあり、大変楽しく参加する事が出来ました。申し込んで良かったと思っています。

The meeting place was hard to find...
There was a guide on the bus, and it was a tour with audio streaming through earphones.
The Okurayama Jump Stadium had a stunning view!
At Shiroi Koibito Park, I was able to buy sweets that can only be found there.
There were just so many tourists. The checkout line was very long.
The outer market was small.
The seafood bowl was exquisite!
I think this plan for half a day at this price is very reasonable.

集合場所が分かりにくかったです…
バスの中にはガイドさんもいますが、イヤホン付けて音声が流れてくるツアーでした。
大倉山ジャンプ競技場は、絶景でした！
白い恋人パークは、そこでしか買えないスイーツを買えました。
とにかく観光客が多かったです。レジも長蛇の列でした。
場外市場は少なかったです。
海鮮丼絶品でした！
半日でこのプランでこのお値段はとても良心的だと思います。

I participated in the tour in late March. This place wasn't too cold, and although there was still some snow, it didn't fall during our tour that day. There was only one other group of Japanese people besides us. The guide was from China and provided explanations in Japanese, English, and Chinese. His Japanese was quite good, but if you don't pay close attention, you might miss important information... The bus etiquette of the foreign guests was very poor. The couple sitting next to me stood up dozens of times while the bus was moving to get their luggage from the overhead compartment or to change seats with each other. I was really worried they might stumble and fall over into my space.

3月後半に参加しました。
こちらの場所はそんなに寒くもなく、雪は残ってましたがこの日のツアーの間は降りませんでした。
私たち以外に日本の方はもう一組だけでした。
ガイドさんは中国の方で、日本語、英語、中国語で説明してくださいました。
日本語お上手ですが、しっかり聞いてないと、大切なことを聞き逃してしまいます…
外国の方のバスのマナーがとても悪かったです。
横の席のご夫婦は、走行中に何十回と立ち上がり、棚の上の荷物を取ったり前後で席を変わったり。よろけてこちらに倒れてくるんじゃないかとヒヤヒヤしてました。

I participated with my child. There were plenty of restrooms and souvenir shops in various places, so we were able to enjoy sightseeing without getting bored.

子供を連れて参加しました。各所にトイレもお土産屋もたくさんあったので飽きずに観光することができました。

Thank you to the guide and the driver for a wonderful day. I chose Okinawa for my grandchildren's graduation trip. I was worried that Churaumi Aquarium was far from Naha, but thanks to the guide's stories and the driver's safe driving, we had a very meaningful day. Among other things, the scenery of Kouri Island, which the guide personally recommended, was breathtaking. After returning home, I've been mimicking the guide's tone and asking my grandchildren, "Are you okay?" It took about 12 hours, but it was a cost-effective and fulfilling trip. Thank you very much.

ガイドさん　運転手さん素敵な一日をありがとうございます。孫達の卒業旅行に沖縄を選びました。
美ら海水族館が那覇から遠いので心配でしたが、ガイドさんのお話　運転手さんの安全な運転でとても有意義な一日を過ごすことが出来ました。
中でもガイドさん個人的にお勧めの古宇利島の景色は絶景でした。
帰ってからは、ガイドさんの口調を真似して
だいじょーぶ？　と孫達に話しかけています。
12時間ぐらいかかりましたが、コスパの充実した旅でした。　　　ありがとうございました。

I signed up for the tour just two days after the cherry blossoms began to bloom.

Thanks to the summer-like heat during the day, the cherry blossoms started blooming all at once. It was very cold during the night portion, so I recommend preparing for the cold. The open-top bus was very chilly.

ちょうどツアーの2日前にサクラの開花が始まりツアーに申し込みました。

日中は夏日でとても暑かったお陰か一気に桜が咲き始めました。
夜の部でとても寒かったので防寒対策をお勧めします。
オープントップバスはとても寒かったです。

I used this tour on the morning of the day I was leaving Yakushima at 13:45. I was a bit anxious about whether I would make it in time, but I really enjoyed the tour. The Chihiro Falls and the Okawa Falls were quite impressive. On the Western Forest Road, monkeys were playing around, blocking the road. After seeing monkeys twice, we spotted a deer. It felt like a safari park with all the wildlife. We finished about 10 minutes earlier than scheduled, which gave us time to buy souvenirs at the Furusato Market, and we arrived at the airport comfortably by bus.

13:45屋久島発で帰る日の午前に利用。間に合うかなとヒヤヒヤしながらもツアーは楽しめました。千尋の滝、大川の滝はなかなかのもの。西部林道では猿たちが道路を塞ぐほど戯れていました。猿を2回見ると次は鹿。また猿、とサファリパークのようです。予定より10分ほど早く終わり、ふるさと市場でお土産を買う時間もあり、路線バスで余裕の空港着でした。

On the day I arrived in Yakushima, I had fried flying fish in Anbo while waiting at the bus stop, and then the Yakuzaru bus arrived. As I listened to the guide's explanation, we quickly reached Yakusugi Land. Together with the guide, we took a leisurely 30-minute course with detailed explanations. We then got off the bus right in front of the Jomon Cedar. The impressive Yakusugi was magnificent, but I heard that the Jomon Cedar is twice its size, which made me even more excited.

屋久島到着日、安房でトビウオの唐揚げを食べてバス停で待っているとヤクザル号が到着。ガイドさんの説明を聞いているうちにすぐにヤクスギランドに到着。ガイドさんと一緒に30分コースをゆっくり丁寧な解説付きで散策。またバスに乗って紀元杉の眼の前で下車。貫禄の屋久杉ですが、縄文杉はこの2倍と聞いて期待が膨らみました。

It was cloudy when I left Sapporo. I'm glad I didn't get caught in the rain. The wind was strong everywhere, but it was very beautiful. It was my first time participating, and it was great. I want to go again in the summer.

札幌出る時曇りでした
雨に合わずよかったです
どこも風が強かったけど
とっても綺麗でしたー
初めて参加でしたがよかったです
次は夏に行きたいです

It was a very fulfilling day because my child loves animals. Above all, the stories from the bus guide were very educational, making the travel time incredibly valuable.

子供が動物大好きなので、とても充実した1日でした。
何よりバスガイドさんのお話がとても勉強になる内容ばかりで、移動時間も大変貴重な時間でした。

You receive a colored sticker and, after an explanation, you go on a tour individually. One hour on Taketomi Island is short. There isn't much star sand, so it would have been nice to have a little more time to see it, not just from the car window at the next beach, but also to have 5 minutes to take photos.

色のシールが渡され、説明を受けて各自が周るツアーです。竹富島のいち時間は短い。星の砂はあまりないので少し見るだけで次の浜辺の車窓からだけでなく、写真を撮る時間5分でもあると良かったです。
