There are always queues to buy train tickets in Japan, so if you use the rail pass you have only 1time to stay in the queue to exchange your voucher.

Tokyo Hop On Hop Off Bus Tickets (1day or 2days)

Tokyo sky bus hop on hop off double decker

Reviewed by: Maxine

Having to line up for 45min at the ticket office to redeem our prepaid voucher when unreserved people could purchase tickets 15 mins before was frustrating to say the least. Not enough buses, had to wait over an hour for the next bus only to wait in line again for people who had not purchased their tickets. The audio recording stopped half way through the description and was often out of sync with the locations.
If your interested in historic or cultural sights and information, don’t waste your time and money on this tour.

Lineup to get on the bus (street side) and the line from the building out to the road is the line for tickets!

Worth it!

Reviewed by: Bry

The kintetsu rail pass is all you need when you want to travel nagoya-osaka-kyoto-nara, and add a bit you can go to kobe as well. It’s hassle free.

It may take a long time to get from nagoya to osaka if you don’t pay for the rapid. It took us around 5-6hrs from nagoya to osaka.

Reviewed by: Monique

My family and I enjoyed the tour, it was informative and so much to see and take in...
I liked the audio narration option on the tour, it was presented in English
I would recommend the tour and to arrive as early as possible, furthermore it leaves the option of going back to explore further by using the “ hop on and off “ option...

Very good way to see the city.

Reviewed by: Myles

We found this tour to be well worth the money. It was easy to exchange the online voucher at the office and immediately catch the purple line. The purple line was significantly more interesting than the blue line, but both were worth it. This was an effective way to get around Tokyo and see many beautiful areas. Highly recommend.

Tokyo Hop On Hop Off Bus Tickets (1day or 2days)

Must do!

Reviewed by: Ella

This is definitely a great way to start your tour in Tokyo. The bus ride over the bridge to Tokyo Bay is exhilarating! Just make sure you sit all the way at the front because the wind on the high way is no joke. There are multiple buses so if you want to see more stuff you can easily switch. The price is about the same if you were to take the underground metro, but you get a guided tour instead on the bus! Thanks for a great experience!!

Tokyo Hop On Hop Off Bus Tickets (1day or 2days)

Nice on a sunny day, but the audio stream is a waste of time.

Reviewed by: Josh

Easy to buy tickets and very friendly staff, but the audio guide was really uninteresting, almost boring. Often landmarks were discussed after they had already passed out of view. Stops are spaced very far apart, and not necessarily where you would want to get off. It's a reasonable way to spend a sunny day but expect to take the subway to get where you want to go.

KINTETSU RAIL PASS (1Day / 2Days /5Days / Plus)

Value for money

Reviewed by: Phyllis

The pass generates huge savings for a return trip between Osaka and Nagoya, albeit a limited express ticket is required for both trips. The distance took about 2 hours but time seemed to pass swiftly in the Limited Express train. The only confusion i have with Kintetsu Rail Pass is you don't really know if a particular route required an additional limited express ticket or not. You still use your Kintetsu Rail Pass for the gate entry and need not show/use your limited express ticket unless randomly checked by the train officers while travelling.

Always carry your passport and Kintetsu Rail Pass with you when you are required to purchase a limited express ticket. The ticket sales office will need it for verification and sell you at a discount instead of the usual fare.

Reviewed by: Armi

I had a great time traveling around Osaka, Nara, Ise, and Nagoya. I even had a chance to take the Shimakaze, although I added a certain amount for the limited express trains. I just booked online then claimed it at the Kintetsu Nagoya station without hassle. I only had one difficulty when I had to change my destination from Iseshi to Ujiyamada station. I tried to talk to a staff in Kintetsu Nara station about it but he told me No English. The staff in Namba Osaka station were very kind to assist me regarding this matter. All in all, it is a great pass.

Tokyo Hop On Hop Off Bus Tickets (1day or 2days)

An ideal bus for quick sightseeing over a large area, but more buses and better audio would be good.

Reviewed by: Callum B

This was one of the better hop on/off bus tours I did in Japan. The timetables were fairly good and there was a good number of stops. Staff were all very friendly and well informed about the bus routes. I recommend doing both blue and purple routes.

On the blue route most people only get off at Tokyo Skytree and it is worth it. However, the next bus is in an hour and then 1.5hrs (2.5hrs from when I got off). I just about managed to get back down within an hour because I bought a fast lane ticket at double the price, because I didn't want to spend 2.5hrs at the one spot.

As they only accepted a printed ticket from their office it meant finding Veltra office. However, I wasted a bit of time in the morning finding Veltra. I eventually found it when I asked Sky Bus Tours office where Veltra was and they said "that's us" - don't know how I was suppose to know that. So you should google map search Sky tours not Veltra.

The most annoying thing about the tour was the timing of the guide audio; it was either interrupted by the next location fact or it'd say "look to your left and you'll see..." and it was nowhere in site. I think this could be resolved if the driver went slower. Alternatively, investment in a better audio system would be ideal judging from other people's reviews.

The bus and the route were good but the commentary was poor. There could have been so much more information provided, about the history of the city, interesting characters that have lived in Tokyo, about the design of the city, about the evolution of architectural styles, about how people lived 100, 200 years ago. I stead the commentary was dull. A pity.

Worth to buy it and save a lot of time

Reviewed by: PennyTan

With the pass, the trip from Nagoya Chubu Airport to Osaka was really save a lot of money and our time. Just headed on to Osaka from Kinetsu Nagoya station without worry. However, if you would like to travel from Osaka to Kyoto with Kinetsu pass, the travel duration will be longer and will not worth. That’s why I go for Keihan line instead of Kinetsu. I strongly recommend to purchase Kinetsu pass with proper planning. As it’s really worth for money that you paid and save a lot of time queuing.

Arrival and Departure from Tokyo

I had difficulty walking and used wheelchair service at the airport and a cane outside of the airport. Your staff was so kind and gracious with helping with my luggage to and from the airport and also when I arrived and departed my hotel. I am very glad I found your company on line and will use your services again when I fly in and out of Tokyo. Just a note about the Hotel Villa Royal Fontaine Tokyo Roppongi--there is a driveway from the street fronting the hotel that allows vehicles to drop and pick up passengers more easily instead of from the street fronting the hotel. That would be more convenient and accessible for both the van driver and passenger. Thank you for the great service.

Tokyo Hop On Hop Off Bus Tickets (1day or 2days)

Best way to see Big city like Tokyo

Reviewed by: Venkatesh

I must say this was one of the best way to see complex city like Tokyo. It was far beyond my expectations. The route covered was awesome, buses were excellent. This saves lot of time that one would spend otherwise understanding Tokyo subways, finding way to the station and out of station (this is huge concern if you have kids). The flexibility to get down on designated spot and hopping on was great. Only suggestion I would give is like in case of Roppongi Odaiba course, the gap between hop on and hop off is too large (almost 3 .5 hours). If they can shorten this, it will provide more flexibility to hop off at more places. Thanks for the good times.

Reviewed by: Be greedy to welcome

In this course, I could see the outline of Tokyo.
But it was really boring.
-It was freezing day, so I had an impression that would have been needed something to make us warm, like hokkairo. I doubt the company can't make an effort to let the customer spend good time.
-Audio explanation had often been interrupted before it finished. Automatic audio system seems difficult to function in this type of the transportation. The company should provide the human guide for us to explain.
-The explanations itself were sometimes trivial matters, not essence of things.

It wasn't worth to pay enough for 3500yen.
