All Reviews for Japan Autumn Tours 2024

Experiencing the sights from a high vantage point while feeling the breeze was both pleasant and thrilling, making it a lot of fun. It was great to have the guide's explanations, as I was able to learn many details.

風を感じながら高い視線からの観光は心地よくもあり、スリルもあり楽しかったです。
ガイドさんの説明があったので色々詳しく知る事も出来良かったです。

Our guide, Bara, provided guidance in English, which was helpful for my husband, whose native language is English. She marked the places we should visit on the map in advance and explained everything before we arrived at the location, which was very helpful. We also had plenty of free time and were able to spend the best time as a family. The driver drove safely, so we felt secure during the ride.

ガイドのバラさんが英語でガイドして下さり英語が母国語の主人は助かりました。行くべき場所を事前にマップに印をつけてて下さり、現地に着く前に説明をして下さり助かりました。自由時間も十分にあり家族で最高の時間を過ごすす事が出来ました。ドライバーさんも安全運転で安心して乗れました。

It wasn't too crowded, and it was easy to move around. The guide was very kind and attentive, looking after all the participants. Since we were in the mountains, the weather changed frequently, which was challenging, but the main attraction, Takachiho Gorge, had beautiful weather, and we were able to see stunning scenery. The bus seats were a bit cramped, which made my legs tired, but other than that, I have no complaints.

大人数すぎず、動きやすかった。
ガイドさんもとても親切丁寧で、参加者みんなを気にかけてくださる優しい方でした。山のほうなので天気がコロコロ変わって大変でしたが、メインの高千穂峡はいい天気になりすごく綺麗な景色を見ることができました。
バスの座席が狭かったので足腰疲れてしまいましたが、他は言う事無しです。

This was a sister trip, and all the sisters enjoyed it, saying the food was delicious. Mr. Wang, who was in charge of our service, was very kind and explained everything well. We all liked it very much, so we plan to book again next time.

今回は姉妹旅行でしたが、姉妹全員が楽しんで、食事もおいしかったと言っていました。サービス担当の王さんはとても親切で説明も上手でした。私たちは皆とても気に入ったので、次回もまた申し込むつもりです。

The weather was great on the day of our visit, and it was perfect for sightseeing without any troubles. In particular, the view from the mountaintop of the ropeway, overlooking Oita city and Beppu Bay, with the mountains of Oita visible in a 360-degree panorama, was breathtaking. Our guide was a woman from Hong Kong who spoke fluent Japanese, Chinese, and English. She was very friendly and provided us with recommendations for shops and useful information, as well as apps that would be helpful during our stay—she was absolutely perfect.

当日は天気も良く 何のトラブルもなく観光日和でした。特に ロープウェイの山頂から
の大分市内そして 別府湾 はるかに 望む 大分の山々の景色が360℃見渡せ 圧巻でした。ガイドさんは香港出身の女性の方でしたが 流暢に日本語 中国語 英語と話され とてもフレンドリーで おすすめのお店や情報 また現地で役に立つアプリも教えてくれたり完璧な方でした。

We saved both time and money by using public transportation to travel from Hakata to Takachiho, and we were very satisfied with the explanations provided by our tour guide, Chou, who is trilingual in Japanese, Chinese, and English!

Additionally, after visiting Takachiho Gorge, the shuttle service with a large van to the bus was very helpful!

Although there was some traffic congestion on the expressway both going and returning, thanks to the driver's safe driving, we were able to complete the tour safely, even though we were about an hour late on the way back!

自分達で公共機関を使って博多から高千穂に行くより時間的にも費用的にも節約でき、更にツアーガイドのチョウさんの日本語、中国語、英語のトライリンガルによる要所要所での説明もあり、大満足でした！

また、高千穂峡見学後にバス迄の大型バンによるピストン輸送もあり、とても助かりました！

また、行きも帰りも一部高速道路の渋滞がありましたが、運転手さんの安全運転のお陰もあり、帰りは1時間程遅れましたが無事にツアーを終了出来ました！

In the morning, there were a few clouds, but by noon the clouds disappeared and it was clear. The lunchtime houtou was delicious. However, it was unfortunate that a child was crying on the bus the whole time. On the way back, we were delayed by traffic and arrived an hour late.

午前中は、少し雲がありましたが、昼は雲が消えて見れました。お昼のほうとうは、美味しかった。ただバスの中でずっと子供が泣いていたのは、残念でした。帰りは渋滞で1時間到着が遅れました。

As many reviews have mentioned, this is a tour aimed at foreigners. This time, there were 36 Chinese participants, 4 Japanese, and 3 Koreans. However, the guide was wonderful and explained everything in detail in each country's language. So, I felt that even if there was only one Japanese participant, they could join with peace of mind.

It was great to efficiently visit famous spots by bus. Although it was a bus tour, we walked over 10,000 steps, so comfortable clothing and shoes are essential.

On the way back, we also received steamed buns as souvenirs. Thank you very much.

口コミで多くの方が書かれている通り、これは外国人向けのツアーです。今回も中国人36名、日本人4名、韓国人3名という構成でした。しかし、ガイドさんが素晴らしく各国の言葉で全て詳しく説明して下さいます。なので、たとえ日本人1人参加だとしても安心して参加できると思いました。
有名どころを効率よくバスで巡れてよかったです。
バスツアーですが一万歩以上歩いたので、歩きやすい服装、靴は必須ですね。
帰りにお饅頭のお土産もいただきました。ありがとうございました。

I was able to visit the places I wanted to in a very efficient manner. In Yufuin, there was over two hours of free time, and although it was at my own expense, I enjoyed visiting hot springs and tasting local sake. I was the only Japanese person in the group, with about 80% being from China, but the guide was wonderful, providing guidance in Japanese, Chinese, and English. The driver was also very kind, helping with my luggage. I really appreciated all the help!

行きたいところをピンポイントでかなり効率良く回れました。湯布院では２時間以上のフリータイムがあり、自費ですが温泉巡りや地酒の飲み比べなど堪能しました。日本人は私1人で8割は中国の方でしたが、ガイドさんは日本語、中国語、英語でガイドしてくれて素晴らしかったです。運転手さんも荷物を運んでくれたり大変親切でした。大変お世話になりました！

It was drizzling during the gathering, but by the time we arrived in Takachiho, the rain had stopped and we were blessed with good weather. We did a lot of walking, visiting places like Takachiho Gorge and shrines, so it was a good decision to wear walking shoes. The lunch was delicious as well. There were few Japanese participants, but it was an enjoyable bus tour.

集合の時は、小雨が降っていましたが、高千穂に着いたら、雨もやんで、お天気にも恵まれました。高千穂峡や、神社など、とにかく歩く事が多くて、ウォーキングシューズを履いていって正解でした。昼食も美味しかったです。日本人の参加者は、少なかったですが、楽しいバスツアーでした。

Could not have been more pleased with our driver and the service. Exceptional!

Lunch was scheduled in Yufuin, but most of the restaurants were closed. I wonder if it wasn't possible to check in advance that some places are closed on Wednesdays depending on the region? I had a hard time finding an open restaurant. Also, while the tour guide did communicate the meeting time, it was a bit difficult to understand, so I thought it would have been helpful if they could have displayed it on a placard inside the bus.

昼食の時間が湯布院で設定されていましたが、殆どの食べ物屋さんがお休みでした。地域によっては毎週水曜日が休みとか事前に確認が出来なかったのでしょうか？
開店してる店を探すのに苦労しました。
又、添乗員さんから集合時間の連絡が有りましたが、言葉が分かりにくい事もあり、プラカードなどでバスの中で提示していただけると良かったのにと思いました。

I participated in the tour from Mojiko Retro to Yamaguchi for two consecutive days. Both days, we had a wonderful female guide named Chou, who was very attentive and considerate. The driver was also kind and skilled, making me feel safe during the ride. I thought the tour content and time management were great. I will definitely use this service again on my next trip to Fukuoka.

門司港レトロ〜山口へのツアーに続き、2日間続けて参加させて頂きました。
2日間ともチョウさんと言う女性のガイドさんで、気配りが出来るとても素晴らしい方でした。
運転士さんも優しい方で、運転も上手で安心して乗っている事が出来ました。
ツアー内容も、時間配分も良かったと思います。
また福岡旅行の際には利用させていただきます。

There were two groups of Japanese people and the rest were from various countries, but the guide explained everything in Chinese, English, and Japanese, which allowed my family and my American husband to understand the explanations very well!

日本人が2組と他は多国籍の方達でしたが、ガイドさんが中国語、英語、日本語でそれぞれ説明してくれて私達家族とアメリカ人の旦那も説明を理解する事ができとても良かったです！

Both the bus driver and the guide were very kind and accommodating. There were just under 40 tour participants, and our family of four was the only Japanese group. Some reviews mentioned that those who might have reservations about joining a tour with foreigners (from Korea and Taiwan) should consider it carefully, but we had no such concerns at all. The passengers were well-mannered, and everyone adhered to the meeting times. The driver was very considerate towards my elderly wife, who has limited mobility, and we are very grateful for that. Thank you very much.

バスの運転手さんもガイドさんからも親切な応対をしていただきました。40名弱のツアー客で日本人は私たち家族4名でした。外国の方（韓国、台湾）との一緒のツアーに抵抗がある人は考えたほうが良いとの感想が書かれていたが全くその心配はありませんでした。
乗客のマナーもよく集合時間も全員守っていました。
足が不自由な老妻に運転手さんからは色々心遣いを戴き感謝いたしております。
ありがとうございました。

I made a reservation to catch the cherry blossom season. The cherry blossoms along the river were just a step away, but I enjoyed it. It seemed a bit long for the kids 😅. The boatman's stories and skills were perfect👌.

桜の季節を狙って予約しました。川沿いの桜はあと一歩でしたが、楽しめました。子供達には少し長かった😅ようですが。
船頭さんのお話も技術もバッチリ👌でした。

As soon as we arrived, we walked to the observation deck and had a panoramic view of the town. The entire town looks like a miniature garden, just like in the pictures. Time flows slowly here. The guide was also kind, and we had a great time with some jokes mixed in. We created a wonderful memory to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary.

着いてすぐに展望台まで歩き、町を一望。画像でよく見る町全体が箱庭のようです。
時間がゆっくり流れます。
ガイドさんも親切で、ジョークを交えながら楽しく過ごすことができました。
結婚40年の記念にいい思い出が一つ増えました。

On November 25th, I visited during the peak of the autumn leaves. The boatman's storytelling was so entertaining that it created a fun atmosphere filled with laughter throughout the trip. Since it was late November, by the time we arrived in Arashiyama, I was completely chilled, but I was able to warm up both my heart and body with some hot sake from the onboard shop. I highly recommend visiting during the autumn foliage season.

１１月２５日、紅葉真っただ中に行きました。とにかく、船頭さんの語り口調がおもしろく、終始笑いが途切れない楽しい空間を作ってくださっていました。
１１月後半ということもあり、嵐山につく頃には体も冷え切っていたのですが、船上の売店で熱燗をいただき、心も体もあたたまることができました。紅葉シーズンがおすすめです。

I participated alone, but in Shirakawa-go, I had plenty of free time to climb the observation deck and enjoy food walking. The Hida beef steak I had for lunch was delicious. In Takayama, there were various shops, and it was very enjoyable, but I didn't have time to relax in any café.

ひとりで参加しましたが、白川郷では、展望台に登ったり、食べ歩きをしたり、十分な自由時間でした。
お昼に食べた飛騨牛ステーキが美味しかったです。
飛騨高山では、色んなお店がありとても楽しかったですが、どこかのカフェに入ってゆっくりするような時間はなかったです。

There were many foreign participants.
I was able to enjoy sightseeing in both Shirakawa-go and Gokayama, and there was plenty of time for sightseeing at both places. The food was also delicious.
I was quite worried about getting car sick, but the road we took in winter (the one that is not White Road) was not winding, so I didn't get sick.

外国人参加者の方が多かったです。
白川郷も五箇山も観光でき、どちらも観光時間がたっぷりあったので満喫できました。ご飯もおいしかったです。
かなり車酔いがひどいので心配でしたが、冬に通る道（ホワイトロードではない方）はクネクネしていなかったので酔いませんでした。

I was a bit anxious before participating in the tour to Kyoto and Nara because it was only available in English, and I don't speak English very well. However, the guide was kind and helpful, which made the experience very enjoyable. I'm glad I signed up for it.

参加日の京都、奈良に行くツアーが、英語ツアーしかなく、そんなに英語が喋れたりもしないので、参加する前は少し不安でしたが、ガイドさんが優しく、親切に対応してくれた事もあり、大変楽しく参加する事が出来ました。申し込んで良かったと思っています。

I felt the charm of Japan's good old hometown. I participated in the tour in March, but I think the scenery in autumn and winter will be different and enjoyable, making it a place that should be visited at least once in a lifetime.

日本の古き良きふるさとを感じました。ツァーに参加したのは3月でしたが、秋や冬はまた違った景色が楽しめそうで、生涯一度は訪問すべき場所だと思います。

I was able to leisurely explore Shirakawa-go and Takayama. I received recommendations for places to visit, and since I wanted to avoid crowds, I went to those locations. It was such a luxurious experience; I almost had the places to myself and could take my time to enjoy them. Thank you! ♪

全体にゆったりと白川郷と飛騨高山を散策できました。
おすすめポイントを教えていただき、人混みを避けたかったのでその場所へ行きました。
なんと贅沢なことか、ほぼひとりじめ状態で、ゆっくり見学できました。
ありがとうございました♪

Had a nice trip with a very kind and helpful guide. Our concerns that the lunch would be very "touristy" were unfounded, it tasted great and of high quality!
In early spring stations 2 to 5 of Mt. Fuji were still closed, so we visited Oshino Hakkai instead, which was an acceptable alternative. Luckily the weather was great and we could see Mt. Fuji very clearly with a beautiful snow cap on top.
Unfortunately, we felt a little bit rushed and did not have a lot of time to explore the destinations, but I doubt that this would have been better with a different tour.

Thank you, tour guide Mr. Chou.

The support was wonderful, and you skillfully switched between Chinese and Japanese, which was impressive.

Thank you to the driver as well for being very kind and driving safely.

ツアーガイドのチョウさん
ありがとうございました

サポートも素晴らしく、中国語と日本語を上手に使い分けて素晴らしかったです

運転手さんもとてもお優しく安全運転でありがとうございました

There were many people from overseas, and except for a few, everyone was punctual. It was really great.

I had a lot of fun; everywhere I went was a good place.

海外の方が多く
一部の方を除き時間厳守で
凄く良かったです

楽しかったですいく所全て
良い所でした

The bus runs through the amazing snow towards Shirakawa-go. I had a slight anxiety in my heart about whether we could return.

However, thanks to the wonderful driver's skills and the enjoyable guide's commentary, I was able to fully appreciate the snowy Shirakawa-go and the streets of Takayama.

I think of the efforts of those who are dedicated to preserving Shirakawa-go.

I felt grateful to have participated in this tour and to have had such a unique experience.

驚くような雪の中バスは白川郷へと走っていきます。心の中では戻ってこれるのかという一抹の不安もありました。

ところが、素晴らしいドライバーさんの運転と楽しいガイドさんの案内で雪の白川郷と高山の街並みを堪能させていただきました。

あの白川郷を大切に守っている方々のご苦労を思います。

なかなかできない体験をすることができ、このツアーに参加して良かったと思いました。

We gathered at Kanazawa Station at 8 AM, and the bus was mostly filled with foreign tourists. It was an older sightseeing bus, and there was no restroom.

Since we arrived early, there weren't many people around, and the snowy scenery was charming. After a while, it became crowded with foreign tourists, which surprised me.

As soon as we arrived, we had free time. I hurriedly walked to the farthest point while taking photos. I couldn't stroll around because of the time constraints, so personally, I wished I had a bit more time.

For lunch, we had a healthy course meal with plenty of wild vegetables at a restaurant with the tour group. The portion was small, but it was just right for me. The grilled meat on the magnolia leaf was very delicious.

When we arrived at the second location, Gokayama, the snow started to fall heavily. There were hardly any people here, and it was quiet and picturesque. I preferred this place more.

Finally, the cheerful smile of the bus guide, who provided explanations in both English and Japanese with some humor, was great. I was satisfied to be able to visit the snowy Shirakawa-go and Gokayama!

朝8時に金沢駅集合、バスはほぼ
外国の方で埋まってました。ちょっと古めの観光バス、トイレはありません。

現地に早く着いたので、あまり人もおらず雪景色が風情があった。少し経つと外国の観光客で溢れかえっていて、びっくりした。

着いてすぐフリータイム。急ぎ足であちこち写真撮りながら一番端っこまで歩く。時間がないのでブラブラはできず、個人的にはもう少し時間欲しかったかな。

ランチはツアーの人とレストランでヘルシーな山菜多めのコース料理。量は少なめだけど、私にはちょうど良い。朴葉焼のお肉がとてもおいしかった。

二箇所目の五箇山に着くと雪が本降り。こちらにはほとんど人がいなく静かで趣深い。こちらの方が好みであった。

最後にバスガイドさんの明るい笑顔で英語と日本語での笑いも交えながらの説明、良かったです。雪の白川郷、五箇山に行く事が出来て満足です！

It was my first time in Kyushu and my first time at a safari park, so it was refreshing.

I was a bit disappointed that I didn't have much time, but well, it was just about the right amount of time, I suppose.

At night, I went to a seafood restaurant recommended by the guide and was very satisfied.

初めての九州　初めてのサファリパークでしたので新鮮でした。

少し時間にゆとりがなかったのが、すこし残念でふが　まぁ　程よいと言えば程よいな

夜はガイドさんに教えてもらった海鮮屋さんにいって大満足

I was very satisfied with the tour of the three ancient capitals. At Shirakawa-go, it was very crowded, so I wished I had a bit more time.

3古都めぐりでとても満足です。
最後の白川郷ではとても混んでいたので
もう少し時間がほしかったです。
