All Reviews for Bus Tours

I think we were able to efficiently visit the sightseeing spots. The time allocated for each location was just right—not too short and not too long, which felt great. Both the guide and the driver were pleasant, and I had a comfortable experience.

The only downside was that while listening to the audio guide, there was a group of three women in the back who were talking loudly about unrelated topics and went over the meeting time, which was a bit inconsiderate. Overall, I was satisfied with the tour.

効率よく観光名所を回れたと思う。
各観光地の時間設定もちょうど良くて、短すぎず長すぎず良い感じでした。ガイドさんも運転手さんも感じの良い方で、気持ちよく過ごせました。
残念だったのはイヤホンガイドを聞いている中で
後ろの席の女性3人組が大きい声で関係ない話をしたり、集合時間をオーバーしたりとマナーが良くない方々と一緒になってしまったことかな。ツアー自体には満足です。

The weather was favorable on the day of the tour, so I was satisfied to cross to Yufu Island on a water buffalo under the blue sky, just as I had envisioned. The bus driver's stories on Iriomote Island were also interesting, and on Taketomi Island, I appreciated being able to choose the ferry time back to Ishigaki Island, allowing for more freedom in my activities.

I didn't book a rental bicycle for Taketomi Island as part of the tour, but I was able to rent one from a shop at Taketomi Port. Since it was a time of strong sunlight (mid-September), I recommend using a bicycle for getting around the island.

当日は天気に恵まれたので、思い描いていた通りの、
青い空の下で水牛で由布島に渡る、
ができて満足です。
西表島でのバス運転手さんのお話も面白かったし、
竹富島では石垣島に戻るフェリーの時間が選択できるので、
自由に行動できるのがいいです。

このツアーで竹富島でのレンタサイクルは申し込みませんでしたが、
竹富港にいたレンタサイクル屋さんに申し込み、
利用することができました。
日差しもきつい時期（9月中旬）だったので、
島内の移動は自転車を使った方がおすすめです。

Since my companion was visiting Kyoto for the first time, we joined a tour. We visited Fushimi Inari, Kiyomizu-dera, Kinkaku-ji, and Arashiyama, and the bus travel was stress-free with just the right amount of time at each location, allowing us to enjoy ourselves! Especially since it was a particularly hot day, the air-conditioned bus tour was greatly appreciated.
Our guide, Haru, was incredibly hospitable, and we were very grateful for their assistance. Thank you very much. I imagine it was challenging to provide explanations in both English and Japanese, but they handled it with a smile, which was wonderful.
It seems there are various tour programs available, so I will definitely use this service again. Thank you for your help!

連れの者が初めての京都訪問でしたので、ツアーに参加しました。伏見稲荷、清水寺、金閣寺に嵐山と回りましたがバス移動はストレスもなく、滞在時間もちょうど良い感じで、楽しむことができました！特に残暑の厳しい日でしたので、エアコンのきいたバスでのツアーはありがたかったです。
ガイドのハルさんはホスピタリティ溢れる方で、大変お世話になりました。ありがとうございました。英語・日本語での各地の説明は大変だったと思いますが笑顔でこなされていて素晴らしかったです。
色んなツアープログラムがあるようですので、また利用させて頂きます。
お世話になりました！

Osaka is full of famous landmarks such as Tsutenkaku, Shinsaibashi, Abeno Harukas, Umeda Sky Building, the brand streets of Midosuji, and Osaka Castle, making it challenging to explore efficiently. I thought it would be a good idea to take a bus tour first and then choose the buildings I want to climb or the streets I want to stroll through. I had some extra time, so I took the bus, and it was really great.

通天閣、心斎橋、あべのハルカス、梅田スカイビル、御堂筋のブランド街、大阪城など大阪は名所だらけで、効率よく回るのが大変です。まずはバスでぐるっと巡ってから登りたいビルや散策したい街を選ぶのがいいと思いました。時間が余ってたので乗りましたがとてもよかったです。

I rode a water buffalo cart on Yubu Island and Taketomi Island, and it seems that each water buffalo has its own personality. They understand emotions like humans, and the interactions with the staff were very cute. Riding the water buffalo cart while listening to live sanshin music was a wonderful experience unique to Okinawa. I think it's a great plan because it allows you to efficiently explore the islands.

由布島と竹富島で水牛車に乗りましたが、水牛さんもそれぞれ個性があるようで、人間のように感情がわかって、係の人とのやりとりがとても可愛かったです。三線の生演奏を聴きながらゆっくり水牛車に乗れて、沖縄ならではのとても良い経験でした。
効率よく島を回れるので良いプランだと思います。

I was able to visit Iriomote Island, which I had always wanted to go to, and the experience of riding a water buffalo to Yufu Island became a wonderful memory. I often look back at the videos of the sound of the sanshin played by the boatman. I chose a free plan for Taketomi Island, but it was easy to get around using the wagon bus that runs on the island, and I was able to collect star sand. It was a very satisfying day.

いつか行って見たいと思っていた西表島に行けた上、水牛に乗って由布島へ渡った体験は、素晴らしい思い出になりました。船頭さんが奏でる三線の音色も動画で何度も振り返って聴いています。竹富島はフリープランにしましたが、島内を走るワゴンバスで移動は簡単にでき、星の砂もゲットできました。大満足の1日でした

This time, I found a bus tour to Shirakawa-go that I wanted to go on through a website, and since there was a campaign, I signed up for the tour. The meeting place was easy to find.
On this tour, there were only five Japanese people and the rest were from overseas. The atmosphere on the bus felt somewhat foreign, but it was nice that the tour guide provided detailed explanations just for the Japanese participants.
We spent two hours in Takayama and two hours in Shirakawa-go, but I wished we had a bit more time. I had planned to have lunch in Shirakawa-go, but many shops closed at 2 PM, so I was disappointed that I couldn't eat the grilled sweetfish I wanted. I should have gone for lunch right after arriving in Shirakawa-go, but I was overwhelmed by the scenery and ended up prioritizing sightseeing instead. I went to the morning market in Takayama, but it was a bit disappointing that I couldn't take any vegetables home.
However, it was great to have various shops for food tasting. By the way, I had meat sushi and local craft beer, which were both very delicious.
Choosing a seat in the last row of the bus was also a good decision. I didn’t have to worry about the people behind me, and there was plenty of space in front, so my legs were comfortable.
It rained a little, but it wasn't heavy rain, so it was manageable.

今回、行きたかった白川郷のバスツアーをサイトで見つけ、キャンペーンもあったのでツアーを申し込みました。集合場所は、直ぐに分かりました。
今回のツアーは、日本人5人だけで後は海外の方達でした。バスの中はなんだか異国感がありましたが、添乗員さんが日本人だけに丁寧に説明して頂けたのが良かったです。
高山で2時間、白川郷で2時間だったのですが、もう少し時間が欲しかったです。白川郷で、お昼ご飯と思っていたのですが、多くの店舗が14時でお店が終わってしまっていたので、岩魚の塩焼きが食べたかったのですが食べることが出来なかったのが残念でした。白川郷に、到着して直ぐにご飯に行けば良かったなですが風景に圧倒されて、観光が先になったのが間違いでした。高山の朝市に行ったのですが野菜などお持ち帰りが出来ないので少し残念でした。
食べ歩きは、いろんなお店があって良かったです。
因みに肉寿司と、ご当地クラフトビールいただきました。大変おいしかったです。
バスの、座る場所を最終列にしたのも良かったです。後ろに気を使うこともなく、前も広かったなで足が楽ちんでした。
少し雨でしたが大雨ではなくや買ったです。

This tour had many foreign participants, but the guide provided explanations in Chinese, English, and Japanese, making it easy to understand and allowing for a very smooth sightseeing experience.

今回のツアーは外国人の方が多いツアーだったのですが、ガイドさんは中国語、英語、日本語で説明をしてくださったので、わかりやすくとてもスムーズに観光ができました。

The course was good.
I would have liked a simple guide map for the course I am going to today. I wasn't sure where I was.
The tour guide mentioned that there are various other courses available, so I think it would have been better if they had distributed a pamphlet about what courses are offered.

コース的には良かったです。
今日これから行くコースの簡単な案内図が欲しかったです。今どの辺にいるのか分からなかったです。
添乗員さんが他にも色んなコースがありますからまた利用をお願いしますと行っておりました、どんなコースがあるのかパンフレットを配ってくれた方が良かったと思います。

The guide was kind and attentive. We were able to proceed with our plans after the tour, visiting the attractions on time. Thank you very much. I would like to join again if there is another opportunity.

ガイドさんは優しく丁寧に対応して下さいました。
時間通りに観光地を回られるツアー後の計画も予定通りに進めることができました。
ありがとうございました。
また機会があれば了解したいです。

I participated in the tour for the first time. I went in September, and although there was still some summer heat, I was moved by the retro streets of Takayama and the beautiful scenery of Shirakawa-go. There were plenty of delicious foods to enjoy while walking around. It was a two-hour stroll, but I was able to fully enjoy it.

There were many people from Asia, including China and Korea, and the bus was full. The tour guide was fluent in both Chinese and Japanese. They were friendly and very easy to talk to. The explanations were thorough, and they also recommended some great places to eat. The atmosphere on the bus was calm, making for a very comfortable tour.

初めてツアーに参加させていただきました。9月に行き、残暑がありましたが、飛騨高山ではレトロな街並み、白川郷では、古き良き景色に感動しました。食べ歩きも美味しいものがたくさんで楽しめました。2時間の散策でしたが十分に満喫できました。

中国や韓国などアジア系の方々が多く、満席でした。ツアーガイドさんは、中国語と日本語ができる方でした。気さくでとても喋りやすかったです。説明も丁寧でおすすめのお店なども教えてくださりました。バス内も落ち着いた雰囲気で、とても快適なツアーでした。

I participated in the tour only in the morning. It was perfect for the last day, as I was able to get a goshuin and omikuji at Hokkaido Jingu.

The market was a bit disappointing compared to what I had expected. Shopping at New Chitose Airport was better.

午前中だけツアーに参加しました。北海道神宮で御朱印、おみくじなどでき
最終日には、もってこいでした。

市場が、期待していたより少し残念でした。
買い物は新千歳空港の方が良かったです。

The weather was wonderful, and we were able to see beautiful scenery. The bus was also comfortable. I was a bit concerned that the guide spoke a little too quickly.

お天気に恵まれ素敵な景色が見れました。
バスも快適に過ごせました。
ガイドさんが少し早口だったのが気になりました。

Unfortunately, we couldn't board the sightseeing boat at Lake Shikotsu due to strong winds, but we enjoyed exploring the area instead. Dining with a view of Lake Toya and the scenery from Mount Usu was all fantastic. The guide was well-organized and friendly, making sure to chat and take photos, which was appreciated. Next time, I would like to participate in a tour of the Shakotan Peninsula.

残念ながら支笏湖では強風のため遊覧船には乗船できませんでしたがその分散策が楽しめました。洞爺湖を望みながらの食事も有珠山からの眺望もどれも最高でした。ガイドさんの段取り良く気さくに話したり写真を撮るなどの気遣いも良かったです。次回は積丹半島に参加してみたいです。

Onodera is an exceptional guide! She has a remarkable understanding of the needs of her tourists and explains each location clearly, ensuring that everyone can fully understand and enjoy the experience. She uses a numbered sign to help keep track of time and provides a printed guide with details on our itinerary and timing. Her recommendations for each place were spot on. Onodera is incredibly kind, gentle, and full of energy, which made the tour even more enjoyable. I had a fantastic time—what an amazing way to kick off my first trip to Sapporo. Truly impressive!
The Driver:Onchi Kenji was also wonderful—his driving was smooth and safe. He was polite, kind, and the bus was very comfortable and spotless.

We were the only Japanese people, but the young tour guide and driver were both Chinese and very pleasant. They were able to converse in Japanese as well.

Perhaps because it was a weekday, the roads were clear, and we were able to progress smoothly and enjoyably as planned. The kamado pudding was delicious. I would like to visit Hokkaido again with Veltra.

日本人は私達だけでしたが、若い添乗員さんも運転手さんも中国人でとても感じの良い方でした。日本語の会話もできました。
平日のためか、道も空いていたし割とスイスイ進み予定通り楽しく過ごせました。かまどプリンが美味しかったです。また、ベルトラで北海道に行きたいです。

The weather was also favorable, and I was able to enjoy my time on the remote island.

The highlight was riding a water buffalo to Yubu Island.

I was able to relax while listening to the sanshin, and it was very soothing.

I definitely want to visit another remote island again.

お天気にも恵まれ

離島での楽しみもできました。
一番は、水牛での由布島に乗れたことです。

三線を聞きながらゆっくりといた時間ができ
癒されました。

是非また、違う離島にも行ってみたいです。

I was prepared to encounter only foreign visitors, but it was a relief to see that half of the group was Japanese. The guide was very attentive, alternating between English and Japanese, which made it easy to understand. By the end, everyone was friendly, and although our conversations were a mix of broken Japanese and English, it was a very meaningful tour.

インバウンドで外国人の方ばかりだと覚悟していましたが、日本人も半分いてホットしました。ガイドさんも凄く丁寧に英語と日本語を交互にしてくれてとてもわかりやすかった。最後の方には皆んなが仲良く、日本語と英語の片言でしたが会話もはずんで、大変有意義なツアーでした。

You can see Tokyo Tower from the bottom to the top, and the view from the Shuto Expressway to the Rainbow Bridge feels like riding a roller coaster—it's exhilarating! It was a fun bus ride, feeling the wind on my body.

東京タワーを下から上までガッツリ見れて首都高速からレインボーブリッジはまるでジェットコースター乗ってるような爽快感　風を身体に感じて楽しいバス時間でした

It was great to be able to visit both places, which I had never seen before, in a short amount of time. I think it's a very good tour for those who don't have a car or have just arrived in Sapporo and want to sightsee.

どちらも観光した事のない場所でしたので一度に両方、しかも短時間で観光できて良かったです。
車を借りていない人や札幌に着いたばかりで観光したい人にはとても良いツアーだと思います。

It had a sense of openness and was guided all around, and after seeing everything, I decided where to go. I think it depends on the weather, but I had a great time with my hat and sun protection in place.

開放感がありぐるりとガイド付きでした、全て見てから何処に行こうか決めました。天候にもよると思いますが帽子や日焼け対策バッチリで楽しめました。

I was able to do some sightseeing in places where I had to drive. The guide was kind, and all the recommended restaurants were delicious! Thank you very much!

運転しなといけないところに観光できました^_^　ガイドさんが優しくて、お勧めのレストランも全部おいしいです！ありがとうございました

The guide accompanied us from the meeting point and provided various explanations during the移動中, which made it easy to enjoy sightseeing even in a place I was visiting for the first time. Since the Asahikawa Zoo tour was relatively short at 1.5 hours, I felt that it would have been better to focus on viewing the exhibits closer to the entrance (meeting point) rather than trying to see everything.

集合場所よりガイドさんが同行し、移動中に色々な説明をしてもらったので、初めて訪れる場所でも安心して観光できました。
旭川動物園は1.5時間の短めなツアーだったため、全てを見て回る余裕はありませんでしたので、遠い場所から入口（集合場所）に向かって見学した方が良かったと自分なりに感じました。

Since the stay in Takayama coincides with lunchtime, if you have a meal, the sightseeing time becomes limited, and you end up running out of time after a quick tour of the main street. I felt that if you want to secure sightseeing time, you need to forgo lunch. I thought next time I would like to stay overnight and enjoy it more leisurely.

As for the stay in Shirakawa-go, I think it was almost sufficient unless you extend your visit to the observation deck.

In any case, I feel it's a "must-see at least once" kind of place, and if you like it, it’s a good trial for a future leisurely visit in terms of cost.

About 90% of the participants were foreigners, and the tour guide was a young Chinese person, but they did a great job, and I had no worries at all.

高山での滞在が昼食時間と重なるので食事をすると、観光の時間が少なくなり、主な通りを一周して時間切れとなります。見所は多いと思いますので観光時間を確保したい場合は昼食は取らないと割切る必要があると感じました。次回は宿泊してゆっくり楽しみたいと感じました。
白川郷の滞在は展望台まで足を伸ばさなければ、ほぼ十分かと思いました。
いずれにせよ、「一度は行って見るべし」的な感じで、気に入れば再度ゆっくり行くためのお試しには費用的にも良いかと思います。
参加者は9割？が外国人の方で、添乗員さんも若い中国の方でしたが、しっかりやって頂いて全く不安もありませんでした。

I'm really glad I was able to efficiently visit the places I wanted to in Itoshima. The weather was nice and the scenery was beautiful. It was great to see the Akuyadai Gate from the sightseeing boat, and I was also happy to see the Meoto Iwa, Shiraito Falls, and Ippudo Forest.

糸島の行きたいところを効率よくまわれて本当によかったです。天気も良くて景色がきれいでした。遊覧船にのって芥屋大門が見れたものよかったし、夫婦岩も白糸の滝も一蘭の森も見れてよかったです。

Thank you for your assistance during the tour. The weather was great on the day, and I appreciate the support from Yuen Lin, who has been in Japan for less than a year and communicated in three languages while always smiling.

However, I had one concern and dissatisfaction. The meeting place was only indicated as the TV Tower, which was unclear for travelers from other regions. I ended up searching for it late into the night before and even consulted a nearby police station. I regret not confirming the exact location in advance, and on the morning of the tour, I arrived before 7 AM to look for other participants.

1. The area under the TV Tower was crowded with tents and stalls for the Autumn Festival, making it difficult to know where to stand.
2. The TV Tower was too large, and I couldn't find my location.
3. There was no sign indicating "Vectra" for the accompanying staff.
4. When I asked the bus driver if it was a Vectra tour, he didn't understand.
5. There were many buses from various tour companies, and I got tired searching for ours before boarding.

We also reflect on our experience, but aside from the above issues, it was a fun day and a memorable trip to Hokkaido.

ツアーお世話になりありがとうございました。
当日は天候も良くまた、一日、帯同頂いたユーエン　リンさんは来日一年足らずの中、3カ国語をずっと続けら終始笑顔で対応頂きお疲れ様でした。
一点だけ不安と不満が有りました。
集合場所、事前案内時、テレビ塔の表記のみでは地方からの旅行者に取っては不明瞭で前日夜遅くまで現地で検索し付近派出所にも相談した経緯あり。
事前にもっと詳細場所を確認して置くべきと反省し当日朝も7時前に行き同じ様な参加者を探してました。

①テレビ塔下はオータムフェンスタでテント張りや出店で死角が、多く何処に居れば良いか不安
②テレビ塔は広すぎて居場所が分からなかった
③帯同者ののぼりにベクトラと表記無かった
④バスドライバーにベクトラのツアーかと聞いても通じ無かった
⑤各社バスツアーの車両も多くて探し続けて、バスに乗るまでに疲れました。
私たちも反省しますが上記以外は一日中楽しく北海道旅行の記念になりました。

Due to work, I was in Sapporo and had some free time on the last day, so I participated alone. The guide provided information through earphones, and the guide managed the time efficiently. I didn't eat at the outer market, but I bought souvenirs and sent them home. It's also nice that meals weren't included, allowing me to choose for myself.

仕事の関係で札幌、最終日だけ自由時間ができたので一人で参加しました。
ガイドの内容はイヤホンから、時間の管理はガイドさんがしてくれて効率良かったです。
場外市場では食事はしませんでしたが、お土産を買って自宅に送りました。
食事はついていないので、自分で選べるのもありがたいです。

It was a bus tour to Asahiyama Zoo, but an hour and a half was surprisingly not enough time.

I think we need to focus on just one activity, like feeding the animals, or else there’s no point in coming here. I would have preferred at least three hours.

I wanted the bus guide to provide necessary information, like what time we would arrive and how to efficiently navigate the zoo. There were times when I confused what was on the left side with the right side while viewing from the bus window, and it felt very unfamiliar.

The stop at the Blue Pond was good.

The buffet was in a large dining hall, but there wasn't anything particularly delicious.

旭山動物園へのバスツアーでしたが、1時間半では想像以上に時間が無さすぎるー

自分達で餌やりなと1つに絞って見ないと、ここへ来た意味がないと思います。
せめて3時間は欲しかったー

バスガイドさんが必要な情報をくれないというか、何時に到着するとか、動物園での効率の良い回り方など、そうゆうのを聞きたかった。
車窓から観覧する際左手にあるものを右手と何度も間違えたり、不慣れ感が半端なかったです。ま

青い池などの工程は良かったです。

バイキングは広い食堂で、これといって美味しいものはないです。

There were other English tours available, so I mistakenly thought this one was exclusively for Japanese people and chose a non-English tour. However, it seemed to be mainly a tour for Chinese participants. (laughs) The guide was also Chinese, and the order of the explanations was always Chinese → Japanese → English (English!?). The Chinese explanation clearly took much longer... In comparison, the Japanese explanation was quite short. The guide did their best to explain various things, but it felt a bit lacking. I think if they organized a tour exclusively for Japanese participants, it would attract more attendees.

他に同内容の英語ツアーがあったので、敢えて日本人だけかと勝手に勘違いをして、英語ではないツアーを選択しましたが、こちらはどちらかというと中国人メインツアーのようでした。（苦笑）
ガイドさんも中国の方で、かならずガイドの順番は中国語→日本語→英語（英語！？）
中国語のガイドはあきらかに時間が長い。。。
それに比べて日本語ガイドの短さ。
一生懸命に色々説明してくださりましたが、うーんと言った感じでしょうか。
日本人だけのツアーも企画すると、もっと参加者が増えるような気がします。

I wanted to do some sightseeing the day after the concert, so I searched for various tours and found this one. I understood from the beginning that it was a tour for international travelers, so I decided to join.

The tour guide explained the tour in English and Chinese to the group, and since we were the only Japanese participants, they kindly provided detailed explanations in Japanese, which made us feel at ease and enjoy the experience.

Although it rained on and off due to the typhoon, we were able to enjoy a very magical atmosphere.

On the way back, there was heavy traffic due to an accident and the holiday rush, but thanks to the driver's safe driving, we arrived at the drop-off point on schedule. This allowed us to have a delicious dinner before boarding the Shinkansen.

If I have the opportunity again, I would definitely like to participate.

ライブの翌日に観光したくて色々検索していてこちらのツアーを見つけ、最初から海外の方向けのツアーと理解して参加させて頂きました。

添乗員さんは英語、中国語で参加グループの方にツアーの説明された後、日本人参加者が私達だけだったので個別で日本語で丁寧に説明してくれて安心して楽しめました。

台風の影響で雨が降ったりやんだりでしたが、とても幻想的な雰囲気も楽しめました。

帰路の高速道路では事故渋滞や連休での移動車が多くて渋滞していましたがドライバーさんも安全運転で予定通り解散場所まで送り届けて頂いたおかげで新幹線に乗る前にしっかりと美味しい晩御飯食べる事も出来ました♪

また機会があれば是非参加させて頂きます。
