All Reviews for Bus Tours

Since it was my first time in Osaka, I was able to get a sense of distance and location by visiting the main tourist spots by bus. The guide's explanations were also very helpful.

はじめての大阪だったので、まずはバスでの主要な観光地をめぐることで距離感と位置をつかむことができました。ガイドさんの説明もためになります。

As of April 29, 2025, I visited the newly opened café "Kachōfūgetsu." It was enjoyable to hear about the local information along the way from Kanazawa.

2025年4月29日時点で今年開店したばかりの喫茶店「花鳥風月」があり早速行きました。
金沢からの道中で道すがらの土地情報を聞けて楽しかった

The tourist spots and the tour guide were good.

There were delays with participants at every meeting time. Unfortunately, it was only the foreign guests. In the end, the planned sightseeing destination was removed, which was really frustrating.

観光地も添乗員も良かった

集合時間全てに遅刻者が出ます
残念ですが外国の方だけ
最後の方は予定の観光先が削除になり
本当にイライラしました

It rained all day and the roads were congested, but it was incredibly fun! I can't express it any better than that! Thank you to the driver and the bus guide. This was my first time in Okinawa, but when I come back, I want to take the same tour route again!

終日雨でしかも道路は渋滞どうなるかと思ったけどめちゃくちゃ楽しかったあああの一言に尽きます！
運転手さんもバスガイドさんもありがとうございました。はじめて沖縄に来たけどまた来た時は同じルートでツアー来たいです！

Since we didn't have a car, we signed up for a tour! It was so much fun to visit places we couldn't have gone to on our own!

車がなかったのでツアーを申し込みました！自分たちじゃあいけない場所にも行けたのですごい楽しかったです！

It was a departure in light rain, but I was glad that the weather turned out well♪

Although it was a different location, this was my second time using the service. Just like last time, there were many foreigners. The tour guide was also very polite in three languages. I would like to participate again somewhere.

小雨の中出発でしたが天候にも恵まれてよかったです♪

場所は違いますが２度目の利用でした
前回同様外国人の方が多かったです。
添乗員さんも3カ国語でそれぞれ丁寧でした。
またどこか参加したいと思います

I participated because I wanted to see the cherry blossoms in Hokkaido. The Shakotan Blue at Cape Kamoi is amazing. I was able to stroll leisurely in Otaru. The 5 PM parade at Shiroi Koibito Park was wonderful.

北海道の桜が見たくて参加しました。神威岬の積丹ブルーは最高です。小樽はゆっくり散策できました。白い恋人パークでは17時のパレードが素敵でした。

When my friend went last week, they could only see half of Mount Fuji, but they were lucky with the weather and got to see the beautiful clear Mount Fuji. The houtou udon for lunch was also delicious.

友人が先週行った時は、富士山が半分だけしか見えませんでしたが、お天気に恵まれて、晴天の綺麗な富士山がみれました。
お昼のほうとううどんも美味しかったです。

This is my fifth time participating in a day trip bus tour with Beltora. Once again, we were lucky not to be caught in the rain, and we enjoyed the beautiful Shakotan Blue of the Sea of Japan. In Otaru, we had 2 hours and 30 minutes of free time to enjoy seafood bowls and stroll along the Otaru Canal, which was a lot of fun. At the Shiroi Koibito Park, I bought some park-exclusive sweets as souvenirs. I believe there was a Chinese tour guide who provided guidance in fluent English and Japanese, which made foreign guests feel comfortable and enjoy the experience. I definitely want to participate in another bus tour with Beltora.

自分は今回でベルトラさんの日帰りバスツアーの参加5回目です、今回も雨に降られず楽しい積丹ブルーの日本海、小樽では2時間30分の自由時間で海鮮丼をたべたり、小樽運河を散策したりと楽しい時間でした、白い恋人パークではパーク限定のお菓子をお土産で買いました、あとは中国の添乗員さんだと思いますが、流暢な英語と日本語で案内してくれたので、外国人のお客さんも安心して楽しまれてました、またぜひベルトラさんのバスツアーに参加したいと思います。

We experienced this with our 5-year-old and 8-year-old. I was worried about seasickness on the high-speed boat, but they guided us to sit at the front where it was less bumpy, which made me feel at ease. The weather was great, and the mangroves at high tide were incredibly beautiful. I heard that you can see a lot of marine life at low tide, so I would like to visit again during that time.

Since it was our first free plan on Taketomi Island, I was concerned about getting around by bus and on foot, but we were able to visit Kaiji Beach, Kondoi Beach, Nishizaki Pier, and the Island we wanted to see. Our free plan started after 2 PM, and we had to return from Taketomi Port to Ishigaki Port by 5 PM, so our stay was short, and I wished we could have explored a bit more leisurely.

The meals were sufficient for our 5-year-old when shared. The water buffalo carts moved at different speeds, so we were guided to different carts for the ride to and from, which the kids really enjoyed, and it was great to take photos together.

5歳、8歳の子連れで体験しました。高速船の酔いが心配でしたが、前方が揺れると案内していただき、安心して乗ることが出来ました。
天候も良く、満潮時のマングローブは凄く綺麗でした。干潮時は生物等も良く見えるそうなので、干潮時もいつか行ってみたいと思います。竹富島では初のフリープランだったので、バスと徒歩で心配でしたが、行きたかったカイジ浜、コンドイ、西桟橋、Islandに行けました。14時過ぎ〜のフリープランで17時には竹富港から石垣港に戻らなければならなかったので、滞在時間が短く、もう少しゆっくりまわりたかったです。
食事は5歳児には取り分けで十分でした。水牛車は水牛車によって速度が違う為、行きと帰りと別の水牛車を案内してくれて、子供もとても楽しんでいて、写真も一緒に撮れて良かったです。

Since the weather forecast predicted rain, I checked in advance whether the open bus roof would close, and was told to assume that it would most likely remain open. So, I participated fully prepared with a raincoat and a plastic bag for my belongings. However, at the meeting point lounge, I was informed that due to the rain from the previous day, they planned to operate with the roof closed. The roof was indeed closed, but I was able to enjoy the cherry blossoms from the windows. Since it was a simple roof, there were occasional drips from the joints, but it wasn't bothersome. Other buses from different companies passed by with their roofs open, but it seemed that the passengers on those buses couldn't face forward due to the strong rain and wind. I enjoyed the cherry blossoms, and it was also fun to see the scenery from a different height on the highway than usual. I would like to ride again during cherry blossom season next year.

天気予報が雨だったので、オープンバスの屋根が閉まるかどうか事前に確認したら十中八九屋根は閉まらないと思って下さいと言われたので、レインコートとバッグを入れるビニール袋など完全防備で参加しました。
ですが、集合場所のラウンジで前日からの雨で屋根を閉めて運行する予定とのご案内。屋根は閉まっていますが、窓から桜が十分楽しめました。簡易屋根なので、時折金具の継ぎ目から雫が垂れて多少濡れましたが、気にならない程度です。すれ違った他社のバスは屋根が空いたままで運行していましたが、雨風が強く乗車されている方は前を向いていられないようでした。
桜も楽しめましたが、高速道路が普段とは違う高さからの景色を見れて楽しかったです。また来年も桜の季節に乗車したいと思います。

The information provided during the bus ride was easy to understand, and the singing was great! Most importantly, when I reported that I had forgotten something at Manzamo during the first tour and needed to change where I would get off, the staff kindly said, "The bus does leave from there, but isn't it difficult? If it's just 5 or 10 minutes, we can stop by?" They also guided all the participants politely, allowing me to retrieve my forgotten item and safely return to the hotel. I was really glad to have such a kind crew member.

バスの中で案内してくれる内容も分かりやすいし、歌も上手でした！！何より私が最初のツアーの万座毛で忘れ物をしてしまって降りるところを変更すると言うことを報告した際に「そこからバスは出てるけど大変じゃない？5分10分だったら寄るよ？」と言ってくださり参加者の皆様にも丁寧に案内していただき忘れ物をとって無事ホテルに帰ることができました。本当に優しい搭乗員さんでよかったです。

It was a hot day, but traveling in the cool bus was stress-free and so comfortable. I was also informed about the highlights, making for a fulfilling sightseeing experience! Thank you for your help! ✨

暑い日でしたが涼しいバスでの移動はストレスなく楽ちんそのもの。見どころなども教えてもらい充実した観光になりました！お世話になりました✨

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。。

This was my first time visiting Takayama and Shirakawa-go. It was a one-day course departing from and returning to Nagoya. The tour guide and the bus driver were wonderful, making the journey comfortable both ways. Just before arrival, the tour guide wrote notes on a map and explained it to each group. The driver was always smiling and had a great vibe.

As for the sightseeing spots, I can say they are "a must-visit at least once in your life." Especially in Shirakawa-go, I recommend the "interior tours" at several houses. I visited Meizenji, and it was incredibly fascinating to see the depth of history and culture!

初『高山・白川郷』でした。名古屋発着の１日コース。
添乗員さん＋バスの運転手さんがすばらしくて、行き帰りの行程も快適でした。
到着直前に、添乗員さんが地図に手書きの書き込みをつけて、一組ずつ説明して渡してくれます。運転手さんもいつも笑顔でいい感じの方。
観光地については、『人生で一度は訪れるべき』っていう感想です。特に白川郷では、数軒ある『内部見学』がオススメです。私は『明善寺』でしたが、奥深さがいろいろと見えてめちゃくちゃ興味深かったです❗️

The water buffalo was cute. It was very nice to leisurely cross over to Yufu Island, and the songs and sanshin that started along the way were wonderful. It was a relaxing and healing time.

水牛かわいかった。ゆったりと由布島に渡り途中で始まる歌と三線がとても良かったです。ゆったりと癒される時間

A bit difficult to access from Kyoto City, Amanohashidate and Ine. This time, I participated in a tour along with foreign visitors. We were the only Japanese. The guide mainly spoke English, but came to our seats to explain necessary information in Japanese.

The weather was nice that day, and we were able to enjoy the scenery of Amanohashidate and the quiet streets of Ine. In Amanohashidate, we had about two and a half hours of free time, and after a 20-minute cruise in Ine, we had about 30 minutes to explore freely.

While strolling in Amanohashidate, I went out to the beach and was healed by the beautiful and calm sea. Despite most participants being foreign, everyone gathered on time, making the experience very smooth.

京都市内からはちょっとアクセスしにくい天橋立と伊根。
今回、外国の方に混じってツアーに参加しました。日本人は私達のみ。ガイドさんは英語メインでしたが、必要なことは私達の座席まで来てくれ、日本語で説明してくれました。
当日は天気もよく、天橋立の景色や伊根の静かな街並みを楽しむことができました。
天橋立では2時間半ほどのフリータイム、伊根は20分程度のクルーズの後、30分ほど自由に散策という感じでした。
天橋立では散策しながら海水浴場へ出て、キレイで穏やかな海に癒されました。
外国の方がほとんどにもかかわらず、皆さん時間を守って集合していて、非常にスムーズでした。

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。。
