All Reviews for 2026 Japan Cherry Blossom Tours

Beautiful Temples and wonderful gardens and scenery. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Lots of people!
The English translation device, which is available on the bus, only worked for the journey to the Kinkakuji Temple. After that there was no English explanation of where we we going or what we were seeing. Pity!

Both the driver and the guide were kind and it was very good. I would like to go again in a different season. However, I had a hard time searching for this tour. Since it is a very good tour, I think it would be better if it were easier to find.

運転手さんもガイドさんも 親切でとても良かったです。 又違う季節に行きたいと思います．ただ このツアーは 検索するのに苦労しました。 とてもいいツアーなので もっと検索し易くすれば良いのでは？

Great way to see the city, good guide and was pleased to meet four young girls
dressed in kimonos and ninja man for photos. Highly recommend the trip.

Pick up was on time from the hotel
tour very well organised
tour guides very professional friendly and informative
lunch was very good
cruise was very good also
drop off back to the hotel was well done
I will have no hesitation in recommending this tour to my friends

The tour with the tour guide Je○ and the driver Miy○ was packed with activities alongside people from various countries. I was disappointed that I couldn't communicate well due to my lack of confidence in my English skills. Unfortunately, it was a rainy day, which made it feel like we were just going through the motions, and the hassle of carrying an umbrella and needing rubber boots diminished the enjoyment. However, the tour guide provided historical explanations to help make up for it. We visited four major tourist spots, each taking about an hour. It was hard work, but I think it's great to be able to see major attractions. However, I believe many people might prefer a plan that allows for more in-depth sightseeing (just a personal wish). Also, I would like to see courses that include places like Byodoin and Amanohashidate in the Kyoto sightseeing plan. This was my first time using the monitor, and I would like to do it again. I enjoyed the experience aside from the weather. Thank you for your assistance.

添乗員のJe○さんと運転手の宮○さん、各国の外国の方々と盛り沢山のツアーでした。英語力に自信が無いのでコミニュケーション出来ないのが残念でした。只、生憎の大雨の日で予定をこなす感が強く、傘を持つ煩わしさと長靴が必要な天候で楽しみ半減。ですが、それをフォローするように添乗員さんが歴史の説明をして下さった。観光地四カ所は、それぞれが一時間前後。ハードでしたがメジャーな観光地を回れるのは良いと思います。が、じっくり観光するプランを求めている方も多いかと思いました（個人的希望ですが）。あと、京都観光プランに平等院や天橋立などのコースも検討して頂きたいです。初めてモニターを利用させて頂きましたが、また、モニターしたいです。天気以外は楽しみました。お世話様です。

The tour route is perfect with excellent service guide

On the morning of the tour, when I arrived at the designated location, I found myself surrounded by foreigners, and a person in charge was explaining things in English. While I secretly hoped this might not be the tour I was looking for, I was suddenly called by name. A bit confused, I boarded the bus, but that day turned out to be very enjoyable. The guide was simply the best. She skillfully switched between Japanese and English, providing explanations with plenty of humor and kindness. Jewel (Yoshikawa) took on the role of explaining in two languages consecutively, but she handled everything with care until the end. Having Jewel around gave me an indescribable sense of reassurance, which must be due to her personality. Through the repeated explanations in English and Japanese, I ended up understanding a little bit of English, which was an unexpected gain. Thank you so much, Jewel, for being energetic, cheerful, and kind.

当日の朝、指定の場所に行くと、周りは外国の方ばかりで、担当らしい方が英語で説明されていました。『このツアーではないかも…』と密かな期待を抱きつつ待っていると、いきなり名前を呼ばれてしまいました。少し戸惑いながらもバスに乗り込みましたが、その一日はとても楽しいものになりました。何と言ってもガイドさんが最高でした。日本語と英語を自在に操り、ユーモアたっぷりに、そして親切丁寧に説明してくれました。ジュエルさん(吉川さん)は二か国語で立て続けに説明するので二人分の役割を果たすことになりますが、最後まで丁寧に対応してくれました。ジュエルさんがいると、何とも言えない安心感があり、それは彼女の人柄によるものでしょう。英語と日本語で繰り返される説明で、終いにはほんの少しですが英語も理解できるようになり、思わぬ収穫となりました。元気で明るく、親切なジュエルさん、本当にありがとうございました。

It was my first time in Shirakawa-go, and I had a great time! The townscape of Takayama was beautiful, and I felt it was a very good tour. I went with my mother, and since most of the travel was by bus, it was easy, and I think the food was very delicious.

白川郷初めてでしたが、とても楽しかったです！高山の町並みも美しく、非常に良いツアーだと感じました。母と行きましたが、ほとんど移動はバスなので、楽でしたし、ご飯もとても
美味しかったとおもいます。

The tour was well worth the money. Yoshi was a very knowledgeable and interesting guide. All the places seen were very good (pity blossom had come early so did not see a grand display). Although the azaleas were very colourful.

The tower was very good and the views from the top excellent. Imperial Palace gardens and other gardens were colourful.

A wonderful excursion I would recommend.

The tour was well organized.
The tour guide was well informed and communicated all the details in a orderly basis.
We were given ample time to enjoy the sights.
Well done

I found a tour while planning my solo trip to Kanazawa, and although I had some concerns, I was able to fully enjoy it thanks to a fluent interpreter and a friendly driver.

There are several paid Gassho-zukuri houses that you can visit, and the staff even took photos for us and offered us tea.

Personally, I recommend the shrine located in Gokayama. There is a magnificent tree with a thick trunk there.

金沢ひとり旅を計画中に見つけたツアーで、ちょっと不安もありましたが、日本語堪能な通訳の方と気さくな運転手さんのおかげで満喫できました
有料ですが見学できる合掌作りのお宅が数件あり、店員さんも写真撮影してくれお茶もいただきました
個人的に五箇山にある神社をおすすめします
乳根のある立派な木があります

The day before, I came to Osaka for a concert. Since I was staying for one night anyway, I decided to join this bus tour to Kyoto on the second day. There were only two Japanese people, including me, which was quite funny! On the bus, it felt like an overseas trip! The bus guide was very kind and during our free time, they shared wonderful spots with us. I enjoyed Kyoto more than enough!

前日に、コンサートの為大阪に来ました。どうせ一泊するのなら、2日目は、京都まで行こうと、こちらのバスツアーに参加日本人は、私含めて2人 笑笑笑 逆にバスの中では、海外旅行気分！バスガイドさん、とても親切で、フリータイムでは、素敵なスポットを教えて頂け、十分すぎるくらい、京都満喫しました！

This is the second evaluation sent to me by your company. As written on the first evaluation, the tour went off explicitly well. When our tour guide Ken Takahashi introduced himself to the group @ Yokohama Port, he has this pleasing smile with an excellent diction in English. We have had a quality tour and he explained to us important and interesting highlights of the different era on the Japanese history.
On behalf of the group, we would like to extend our appreciation to Ken Takahashi, tour guide and driver Mr.Higashi san for making our day in Tokyo a memorable one.

Great tour , very patient tour leader, courteous driver. Surely give us memorable moment at Japan. Outstanding tour

Mr. Tom, our personal guide took us to the Kawakuchiko lake to see Mt. Fuji and we were very lucky that it was a bright and sunny day that we can see the Mt. Fuji clearly. Our guide let us move onto the next sightseeing spots at our own pace so it is very enjoyable for the whole family!

We were disappointed with the tour. A long trip to a Park. A boat ride under a lot of bridges which was interrupted by the Guide wanting to know if we wanted the Bus back or would go our own way. Were told it might be 8pm before we got back. We hadn't been able to book into our Hotel before the tour and would need to find food etc so, 8pm was too late for us. We left the tour after the Boat trip and found your own way back by Train.

We found the tour guide very hard to understand and she talked non-stop about many uninteresting things or maybe we just couldn't understand her properly.

We would have like to see some points of interest like a Shrine or two, Tokyo Tower etc.

Sorry can't recommend this one.

Very professional. Had a great day. Guide was wonderful.

Yoshi was an excellent guide. He showed us around well and was a good source of information. We would like to thank him very much.

Endo-San was waiting for us at the appointed time in our hotel, he is truly fluent and an excellent guide and we had a knowledgeable and fun day. The other thing that was memorable was our udon lunch in a small restaurant (inn?) which was both delicious and good value. We ended the wonderful day with 45 minutes in an onsen - my first in an open-air onsen, looking at Mt Fuji. Of course thanks to God who gave us perfect weather and thus a marvellous view of the mountain. I would recommend Endo-San to anyone traveller.

Even though I applied through Belldra, there was no indication of Belldra at the bus waiting area, so I was confused. I would like to see more signage indicating Belldra at the waiting area. The guide was very helpful, and there were no issues. It was a fun trip.

ベルドラで申し込んだのに バス待合所のところには、ベルドラと書いておらず わからなかった。もう少し待合所には ベルドラとの記載をしてほしい。
ガイドの方は、すごくよくしてくれて 問題なし。楽しく過ごせた旅でした。

This tour made me enjoy seeing Mt Fuji at our own pace. We were picked up by a good driver and a knowledgeable tour guide. Upon riding the van wee discussed first the final.itinerary. the guide Akiko detailed out the places we were visiting and their significance. So we proceeded as planned to the heritage center shrine lunch near the pond and the lake. My family enjoyed it very much especially at our own pace. I highly recommend this tour to small groups.

we were very lucky to join the Grand Tour of Tokyo organised by VELTRA with English guide.
This tour includes the paranomic view of Tokyo from Tokyo Tower. Next we went to Meiji Shrine and later the Imperial Palace East Garden and we were very lucky to see the Cherry blossom almost at full bloom.
The bus also brought us a drive though Ginza Shopping district, The Diet Building and Akasaka Guest House.
Typical delicious Japanese lunch was provided by this tour.
The Sumida River Cruise is one of the highlights of this tour which brought us to Asakusa Temple. We were able to experience a wonderful cruise with Sakura in full bloom on both sides of the river.
The shops lining towards Asakusa Kannon Temple is a must for Tokyo tourists. We bought a lot Japanese souvenirs and gifts from the many little interesting shops.
We had the opportunity to see Ueno and Akihabara in the evening when the bus drove though the area on the way to drop off point.
Overall is a fantastic experience for both of us,
. Thank you very much VELTRA tour.

I participated with my mother!
It was my first bus tour, and I was nervous about how it would go, but the tour guide was very friendly, kind, and attentive, which was a great help.
There were some route changes, but the timing was as scheduled, and the duration of our stay was just right!
Although there were only international participants, thanks to the tour guide's thorough explanations and excellent organization, everyone was able to enjoy the trip safely without getting lost.
Thank you very much to the tour guide and the driver!
It became a wonderful memory, and I would like to use your services again.
Thank you for a fun trip to Kyoto!

母と二人で参加させて頂きました！
初めてのバスツアー、どうなることやら？とドキドキしていましたが、添乗員のおじ様がとても気さくで優しく、丁寧で助かりました^ ^
ルート変更などありましたが、時間も予定通りでしたし、滞在時間もちょうど良かったです！
海外の方ばかりの参加でしたが、添乗員さんの丁寧な説明や段取りの良さで、皆さん迷うことなく安全に過ごすことができました。
添乗員さん、運転手さん、本当にありがとうございました！
とても良い思い出にもなり、また利用させて頂きたく思っています。
楽しい京都旅行をありがとうございました！

It was very easy to get around by bus. The guide was also very kind and helpful. I enjoyed the rice cracker experience as well. Thank you very much.

バスで移動できるので、とても楽でした。ガイドの方もとても親切な方で、助かりました。おせんべい体験も楽しめました。ありがとうございました。

I went on a family trip to Kanazawa for the first time. Since it was a special occasion, I decided to join this tour to see the World Heritage site of Shirakawa-go, which is not easy to visit often. The tour allowed us to take our time at each landmark, and we were able to see everything leisurely. The guide provided clear explanations in two languages, making it an enjoyable trip. I would like to use this service again.

初めて金沢に家族旅行で行きました。せっかくなので中々行けない白川郷の世界遺産を見ようと思って本ツアーに参加しました。
各名所もしっかり時間を、取ったツアーでゆっくり見れました。
ガイドの二ヶ国を使いわかりやすく説明してくれて楽しい旅になりました。
また利用したいと思いました。

Our group of 4 had a great time with our guide Masa.
We wanted to view Mt Fuji but the weather only allowed us to see mostly the base.
Masa customized the itinerary so we could make the most of the tour, we saw Mt Fuji base, Oshino Hakkai ponds, Kirin Whiskey Distillery and the Cherry Blossom Festival in Matsuda.

We highly recommend this private tour :)

Taiji Endo san was our tour guide who provided us (a group of 8 people) excellent service. He accommodated our requests due to plan changes and suggested some fabulous ideas to our visits in Hakone. We all enjoyed every moments and had lot of laughter and good stories from Taiji.

We highly recommend Taiji and Veltra for your next visits to Japan.

We unfortunately were not able to see Mt Fuji on our tour. We instead had a wonderful tour and tasting at the Hakushu Distillary. I highly recommend!
Finished the day at the hot springs...bliss!

Guides were excellent... if you are on short trip this is excellent tour to get acquainted with the main attractions in Tokyo.

Two days ago, the Hokuriku region experienced record-breaking heavy snowfall! I was worried about whether the tour would proceed with participants coming from Hokkaido, but we departed as scheduled on a fully booked bus. The guide was very cheerful, skilled in explanations, and incorporated fluent English, keeping us engaged on our way to the destination. The snowy Shirakawa-go and Gokayama were charming and impressive. The lunch was even better than I expected. I am grateful for the wonderful memories from this trip.

２日前までは北陸地方は記録的な大雪！
北海道からの参加でツアーが催行されるか心配しましたが、予定通り、満席のバスで出発しました。
ガイドさんはとてもにこやかで説明も上手で流暢な英語も交えて私たちを飽きさせることなく現地へ向かいました。
雪の白川郷、五箇山は趣があり感激でした。
お昼のお料理も期待以上の物でした。
素晴らしい旅の思い出ができて感謝いたします。
