All Reviews for Museums and Learning

I used a regular sightseeing bus for the first time in Nara. It efficiently took us around the famous landmarks, and the air conditioning on the bus made for a comfortable sightseeing experience. The bus guide was very knowledgeable, providing detailed explanations from historical events to the latest information, which was very meaningful. I would like to use this service again, including other courses.

奈良で初めて定期観光バスを利用しました。
効率良く名所旧跡を回って貰え、バス内はエアコンも効いおり快適に観光できました。
バスガイドさんは、昔のことから最新の情報まで大変詳しく、また分かりやすく解説され、大変有意義でした。
他のコースも含めまた利用したいと思います。

It's close to the airport, making it a convenient stop on the way back. Since there's an Aeon store attached, you can also buy souvenirs. It's indoors, so we were able to enjoy it even on rainy days.

空港から近く、帰りに寄れる場所です。
イオンが併設しているので、お土産も買えます。
屋内なので雨の日でも楽しめました。

I considered going to the dinosaur museum on my own, but I'm glad I chose the bus tour. I felt that the Great Buddha of Echizen didn't convey much history, and I think it would be better to include other sightseeing spots.

恐竜博物館へ個人で行くことも考えたが、バスツアーにしてよかった。越前大仏は歴史を感じられず、ほかの観光地を組み込んだ方が良いと思った。

You can efficiently tour with a guided bus. It would have been better if we had a bit more time at Eiheiji. Since it was an afternoon tour, it was easy to use.

ガイド付きバスで効率よくまわれます。永平寺はもう少し時間があるとよかった。午後からのツアーだったので利用しやすかった。

It was my first trip to the Nachikatsuura area, and thanks to the driver, I was able to fully enjoy it. I am extremely satisfied! The guidance to tourist spots, time management, and thoughtfulness were simply the best. The fact that I could have such a fun and fulfilling trip is all thanks to the driver. Thank you very much!!

はじめての那智勝浦エリアの旅でしたが、運転手さんのおかげで、満喫できました。
超超超満足です！
観光地の案内、時間配分、お気遣い、とにかく最高でした。
こんなに楽しく充実した旅ができたのは、運転手さんのお陰です。
ありがとうございました！！

I had the itinerary changed to visit Kagoshima Shrine and Wake Shrine. Despite the changes after boarding, the explanations using the photos you took were very clear and informative, showcasing your extensive knowledge. Although it was a three-hour tour, I had a wonderful time on the last day of my Kagoshima trip.

内容変更して鹿児島神宮、和気神社を巡ってもらいました。
乗車してからの変更にもかかわらず、ご自身が撮影された写真を使っての説明、また知識が豊富で大変わかりやすかったです。
3時間の利用でしたが、鹿児島旅行最終日、とてもよい時間を過ごすことができました。

Since our accommodation was right next to JR Nara Station, we could easily get to the meeting point (bus stop). It was my first time in Nishi no Kyo, and I thought it would be a bit challenging to visit all the sites using public transportation, so I decided to join the tour, and it was definitely the right choice. If you have some sense of geography in Nara from previous visits, it might be different, but if not, I highly recommend this tour.

宿泊先がJR奈良駅のすぐそばでしたので、集合場所（バス停）にもすぐ簡単に行けました。西ノ京は初めてでしたので、公共交通機関を使用して全行程を訪れるのは少々ハードルが高いと思い当該ツアーに参加しましたが、大正解でした。もし初回でなくある程度奈良に地理感覚があれば、別ですが、そうでない場合は、非常に勧めです。

The veteran guide created a very pleasant atmosphere. Horyu-ji has impressive exhibits, but if you spend too much time at the beginning, you'll rush through the second half. Be careful. The monk's talk at Yakushi-ji was interesting, but if you listen closely, you won't have enough time for the visit. Be careful.

ベテランガイドさんでとても良い雰囲気でした。
法隆寺は展示物が見応えありですが、最初から時間をかけすぎと、後半駆け足になります。ご用心あれ。
薬師寺のお坊さんの話しは面白かったですが、じっくり聞くと拝観時間が足りなくなります。ご用心あれ。

The driver was great!
The guide was great!
The tour content was fulfilling and satisfying, everything was great!
It was a fun time learning about Japanese culture.

運転手さんよし！
ガイドさんよし！
ツアー内容の充実度、満足度、全部よし！
日本文化を学べる楽しい時間でした。

Thanks to the driver's arrangements, we were able to make the most of our limited time. There were three of us in the family, and we received a lot of information during the ride, almost like a sightseeing tour. We were taken to the Ganryu Shrine, a place that truly felt steeped in history. Thank you for such a fulfilling experience. My daughter lamented that we should have taken a photo with the driver! If we have the chance again, we would definitely like to do this!

ドライバーさんの計らいで限られた時間を有意義に堪能することができました。家族3人での参加ですが、車内でも観光案内のようにたくさんのお話をいただきましたし、巌龍神社？ものすごい歴史を感じる場所までお連れいただきました。本当に充実した時間をありがとうございます。運転手さんとご一緒に写真撮ればよかった💦と一緒に行った娘も嘆いていましたww
また機会があれば是非お願いいたします！

It was my first time visiting Eiheiji in a while. The bad weather brought in leaves and small branches, which was quite troublesome. At the Asakura ruins, the rain and wind were strong, so we had to wait on the bus. Since it was a tour, I was a bit disappointed that we couldn't use our time freely.

久しぶりの永平寺でした。荒天で葉っぱや小枝が吹き込んで大変でした。朝倉氏の遺跡は雨風が強くてバスで待機していました。ツアーなので時間が自由に使えなくてやや残念でした。

I understand that due to the schedule constraints, it couldn't be helped, but I wish the tour of the two world-renowned temples, which have many national treasures, had a more historical focus to reflect on their significance. It was quite rushed, but the guide's explanations were very clear and helpful.

旅程(時間)の関係で仕方なかったとは思いますが、世界的に名高い二つのお寺を巡るツアー、国宝など多数あるので歴史に思いを馳せるような内容であってほしかった。
かなり駆け足でしたがガイドさんの説明はとてもわかりやすくて良かったです。

It had been decades since my last visit to Nara. I was a bit anxious about the sightseeing bus that would take a whole day, but I was glad that we could smoothly visit all the places I wanted to see, starting with Horyu-ji Temple. I was worried about walking, but the guide's explanations were excellent, and I was able to enjoy the tour. Moreover, I was impressed by the guide's clarity and memory. Considering the entrance fees and such, I think it was very reasonably priced.

数十年ぶりの奈良観光でした。
一日かけての観光バスには少し不安もあってのですが、法隆寺をはじめ行きたかった所をスムーズに回れて良かったです。
歩くのは不安があったのですが、ガイドさんの説明も良く、楽しく観て回る事ができました。
それにしても、ガイドさんの説明は分かりやすいのと、記憶力には感銘しました。
入場料など考えればとても割安と思います。

The bus ride and the temples were smooth, which was great. However, there were so many people that sometimes I couldn't hear the voices clearly, so it might be good to speak a little louder.

There was a member in our group who had difficulty walking, so I felt bad for holding everyone back. But I really appreciated how kindly everyone waited for us. I also want to thank you for choosing easy paths to walk on when we returned to the bus with the group that had a full-day course at Horyu-ji.

バスの中も　寺社でも滑らかでよかった。ただ　人が多くて　声が聞き取れないこともあったのでも少し張りあげてもいいかな。
グループで足が悪いメンバーがいたので　ついていけなくて迷惑をかけました。でも快く　待ってくださったりして　ありがたかったです。法隆寺で1日コースの人たちとバスに戻る時も歩きやすいところを選んでくださって感謝します。

It was really convenient to be taken to places that are a bit far to get around on my own. The guide's stories were also very interesting.

自分で回るには少し距離のある場所も、まとめて連れて行って貰えるのですごく楽でした。
ガイドさんのお話も興味深かったです。

Thank you very much for your help. I really appreciate you walking alongside me, explaining things clearly, and taking photos at the shooting spots. We are also talking about wanting to visit Nara again someday.

大変お世話になりました。
一緒に歩調を合わせて頂き、分かりやすく説明して頂き、撮影スポットでは写真を撮って頂き本当にありがとうございました。
又、いつか奈良に行きたいねと話しています。

The day after our marriage meeting, we used this service to tour Yokohama with my partner's parents who came from afar. They were very accommodating with the change of meeting location, which was a great help. They created a wonderful itinerary while considering our requests. During the trip, we learned about the history of various places in Yokohama, and everyone was very satisfied with the two-hour experience. We were also able to take a lot of photos, making it a fantastic memory. I would love to use this service again.

結婚顔合わせの翌日、遠方から来ていただいたパートナーのご両親と横浜観光するために利用しました。
集合場所の変更にもご対応いただき助かりました。
コースもリクエストを考慮しつつ、素晴らしいコースを考えていただきました♪
移動中に横浜各地の歴史も教えていただき、皆大満足の2時間でした。
写真も沢山撮っていただけたので、素晴らしい思い出になりました。
また利用させていただきたいと思います。

Unfortunately, it was a rainy day with heavy rain at times, but the preparation of umbrellas and the thoughtful pick-up service were wonderful.

I participated in this tour the day after work, and it was perfectly fine to join alone. I was able to visit various famous spots that are difficult to reach on my own. Moreover, with Kaido-san's detailed explanations, it was a very fulfilling day.

Many historical figures from Japanese history appeared during the tour. Being there in person, seeing the sights, and hearing the stories made it feel much more real.

This was my first time on a bus tour, and I thought it was quite a good option for travel.

残念ながら、雨、途中で大雨の１日でしたが
傘の用意やお迎えの心遣い、素晴らしかったです。

仕事の翌日にこのツアーに参加しましたが、
１人参加でも大丈夫でした。
自力では行きづらい名所を色々まわれます。
しかも、カイドさんの詳しいお話付きで、
とっても充実した１日でした。

日本史に出てきた人物が、大勢登場します。
実際に現地に行って、見て、話を伺うと
リアルさが増してきます。

バスツアーは、今回初めてでしたが、
旅の１つの選択肢として、
なかなかよいなぁと思いました。

Until now, I had only visited Nara through bus tours from my hometown, Okayama, but participating in a local tour using the Shinkansen was really great. It was my first experience having so much time to explore. Next time, I want to come to Nara in the fall.

今まで奈良は、地元岡山からバスツアー以外は来たことが無かったのですが、
新幹線を使って現地ツアーに参加するのは、とても良かったです。
こんなに時間たっぷりで、見れたのは、初めての経験です。
次回は、秋の奈良に来たいと思っています。

I intended to post my experience right after the trip, but I wasn't able to, and I sincerely apologize for that. Since I traveled with my elderly mother, we had a wonderful time in Takachiho, so I booked the taxi plan again this time.

They kindly asked for our preferences over the phone beforehand, and on the day of the trip, they brought various brochures and even delivered them to our hotel, which made things very easy for us.

I took it seriously when they said my mother, who is prone to motion sickness, would be fine without taking medication, but unfortunately, she ended up feeling sick. I truly apologize to the driver for having to continue driving without a meal break.

When my mother needed to use the restroom during the trip, they quickly accommodated us at a nearby convenience store without showing any signs of annoyance. We were able to experience the long-awaited Kumano Kodo, and although it felt a bit incomplete, we were able to reflect on it later with the brochures. Thank you so much for your help.

旅行後すぐに体験談を投稿したつもりが投稿出来ておらず、大変失礼致しました。高齢の母との旅行なので、高千穂でもとても良かったので今回もタクシープランを申込みました。
事前に電話で希望を聞いて下さったり、当日も色々なパンフレット宿泊先ホテルまでをお持ち下さり楽チンでした。
車に酔いやすい母が酔い止めを飲まなくても大丈夫というのを真に受けてたところ、酔ってしまったようで、ドライバーさんには食事休憩もなく走り続けていただくことになってしまい、本当に申し訳ありませんでした。
途中で母がトイレに行きたくなった時にも、すぐに近場のコンビニで対応して下さったり、そんな状況でも嫌な顔ひとつせず、念願の熊野古道を感じられ、(少しだけ不完全燃焼でしたが…)帰ってからパンフレットで振り返ることが出来ました。本当にお世話になりました。

The taxi driver was incredibly kind and explained the places we wanted to go as well as his recommendations. He was considerate of my parents who have difficulty walking and took my daughter and me to the perfect spot to walk the Kumano Kodo. Thank you for a truly memorable and wonderful trip.

タクシーの運転手さんが、とにかく親切で丁寧に行きたいと思っていたところとおススメの場所を説明しながら案内して下さいました。足の悪い両親にも配慮いただき、熊野古道を歩きたい私と娘に最適な場所に連れて行ってくださいました。
本当に記念に残る素敵な旅をありがとうございました。

Since my husband said he had never been to Horyu-ji, we participated in a half-day bus tour that took us from Kintetsu Nara Station. The bus guide's smooth explanations included many things that we could never have learned on our own during individual travel.

夫が法隆寺には行ったことがないと言うことで、近鉄奈良駅から連れて行ってもらえる半日バスツアーに参加しました。バスガイドさんの流れるような説明は、個人旅行では到底知ることできないものばかりでした。

This time, I went out to review the history of Nara. I planned to walk around the area close to the city center and request a tour for the wider area. We carefully visited essential points, making it a very enriching experience. The guide's explanations were thorough and insightful, which was very educational. However, it seemed quite challenging for them to keep talking during the car rides. Thank you very much.

今回は奈良の歴史のおさらいに出掛けました。
市内中心部に近いエリアは歩いて、広いエリアは今回のツアーにお願いする計画でした。
外せないポイントを丁寧に周っていただき、とても中身の濃いい時間になりました。
ガイドさんのお話もきっちり肝を押さえていて、勉強になりました。
それにしても、車内移動中、ずっとお話していてたいへんそうでしたけど。
ありがとうございました。

I initially signed up for a one-hour tour, but thanks to the driver's consideration, it was extended to two hours, allowing us to take our time. The tranquility of Hayachine Shrine and the fortune slip I drew there have left a lasting impression on me. It's called the Manpuku fortune slip, and it's a cute omikuji made from origami. It was a bit far, but I was very glad the driver took me there. After that, I was also guided to Kappa Buchi and Densho-en, which helped me understand more about Tono. There are still many places I want to visit, and I would love to come back. When that time comes, I look forward to your assistance again.

1時間の予定で申し込みましたが、運転手さんのおはからいで、2時間にして頂き、ゆっくり周ることができました。早池峰神社の静けさやそこでひいたおみくじが心に残っています。万福みくじといい、折り紙で作った可愛いおみくじです。ちょっと遠かったですが、運転手さんに連れて行って頂き、とても良かったです。その後は、カッパ淵や伝承園も案内して頂き、遠野のことがよくわかりました。まだまだ訪れたい所があり、また、来たいと思います。その時は、よろしくお願いします。

I had a fulfilling day even without a car.

First, I went to the Dinosaur Museum. I really enjoyed walking around while looking for the "highlights" shared by the guide, surrounded by an overwhelming number of complete skeletons. There was also a lineup of souvenirs that even adults would want!

Next, I visited the Great Buddha of Echizen, which watches over my hometown. Through the guide's explanation, I learned about the deep feelings of the patron who wanted to "protect the town" when it was built, and its grandeur resonated even more in my heart.

Both places were great stops on my route.

​車なしでも充実の一日になりました。
​まずは恐竜博物館へ。
圧倒的な数の全身骨格に、ガイドさん直伝の「見どころ」を探しながら歩きとても楽しめました。大人も欲しくなるお土産のラインナップも！
​続いて、故郷を見守る越前大仏。
ガイドさんの解説で、建立に込められた「街を守りたい」という施主の深い想いを知り、その壮大さがより一層胸に響きました。
​どちらも良いルートでした。

For someone without a car, a half-day tour was truly a blessing. There was still snow remaining on the grounds, and a serene atmosphere typical of a place of training lingered in the air. Walking along the corridors without slippers, I could feel the coldness penetrating through the soles of my feet, but that only added to the pleasantness of the experience.

Looking up at the magnificent ceiling paintings and enjoying the time spent searching for highlights in the main hall and the kitchen area with hints from the guide's explanations and quizzes was also enjoyable. In the midst of the harsh cold, my warm intellectual curiosity was satisfied, allowing me to savor a very luxurious moment.

It was great to learn about the history of the Fukui lords and experience the excavation at Asakura Ichijodani.

車を持たない身にとって、半日で巡れるツアーは本当にありがたい存在でした。
境内にはまだ雪が残り、修行の場らしい凛とした空気が漂っています。スリッパを履かずに歩く回廊は、足裏からしんしんと冷たさが伝わってきますが、それがかえって体感が迫る心地よさでした。
​見事な天井絵を仰ぎ、ガイドさんの解説やクイズをヒントに本堂や庫裏（食事場）の見所を探す時間も楽しかった。厳しい寒さの中に温かな知的好奇心が満たされる、とても贅沢なひとときを味わえました。
朝倉一乗谷は福井の領主の遍歴を学び発掘を体感で見れて良かったです。

Amidst the howling cold wind, I participated in a one-day tour. The guide stood the entire time and shared stories without interruption. It would be quite difficult to explore all of this on my own, but it was very enjoyable to have the tour guide lead us. I am very satisfied. The driver also greeted us every time we got on and off, which felt very nice. Thank you very much!

冷たい風が吹き荒れるなか、1日ツアーに参加　ガイドさんはずっと立ちっぱなしで、途切れる事なくお話しをしてくれました
個人でこれだけまわるのは大変ですが、ツアーでまわってもらってとても楽でした
とても満足です
運転手さんも乗り降りするたびに挨拶してくださり、とても気持ち良かったです
ありがとうございました

I wanted to visit Hōryū-ji and Chūgu-ji, but I hesitated due to the poor access. Thanks to participating in this tour, I was able to efficiently sightsee with explanations, which was great. Since I only participated for half a day, I received advice from the guide about transportation options after the tour, allowing me to continue my sightseeing without any issues. Thank you for your assistance!

行ってはみたいけれど、アクセスが悪いため、二の足を踏んでいた法隆寺と中宮寺。このツアーに参加したおかげで、効率よく、また説明付きで観光することができて良かったです。半日のみの参加だったので、ツアー終了後の交通手段等で、ガイドさんからアドバイスも頂け、その後の観光も無理なく続けることが出来ました。
お世話になり、ありがとうございました。ををを

We visited with children for the first time in four years. This facility is heavily influenced by the season and weather. Four years ago, it was pouring rain and extremely cold, so this time we made sure to dress warmly. Watching the penguin parade in the rain while wearing a raincoat is quite tough. This time, it was snowing as well, so both my child and I were cold, and the penguins looked cold too.

Moving between buildings and to the restaurant is all done outside. The buildings are close together, so if you think, "We'll only be outside for a little bit," you might be caught off guard, and your child's smile will disappear. If you come prepared with proper cold-weather gear (and sun protection in summer), it’s a facility full of fun.

The staff is very friendly, and the quality of the shows is excellent. The experience workshops were also a big hit with the kids and a lot of fun.

4年ぶりに子連れできました。
とにかく季節や天気にかなり左右される施設です。4年前は大雨ですごく寒かったため、今回はしっかり防寒していきました。レインコートを着て雨の中ペンギンのパレード見るのはなかなか辛いです。今回も雪が降っていたので、自分も子供も寒かったしペンギンさんも寒そうでした。
建物から建物への移動、レストランへの移動、全部外です。
建物同士は近いので「ほんの少ししか外を歩かない」と思って油断すると子供の笑顔が消えます。しっかり防寒（夏は日よけ）対策をして訪れるなら、楽しさ満開の施設です。

スタッフさんは大変親切だし、ショーのクオリティも素晴らしい。
体験工房も子供が喜びとても楽しかったです。

The guide's explanations and the VR footage made it easy to understand. Also, the lunch with persimmon leaf sushi was a great value for the price.

ガイドさんの説明とVR映像があって分かりやすかったです。また、柿の葉寿司の昼食付きはコスパ最高です。
