All Reviews for Japan Autumn Tours 2024

Maps were distributed on the bus, and the guide provided detailed explanations of recommended shops and photo spots, allowing us to explore efficiently and enjoyably. Shirakawa-go in winter has the image of "snow and cold," but it is very hot in summer. If you participate in a summer tour, please be careful of heatstroke. However, there are many shops selling drinks, so it's fine if you don't bring your own.

バスの中で地図が配布され、ガイドさんがお薦めの店やフォトスポットなどていねいに説明をしてくれたので、効率よく、かつ楽しく散策できました。白川郷の冬は「雪、寒い」というイメージがありますが、夏はとても暑いです。夏のツアーに参加する場合は、熱中症に気をつけてください。ただ、飲み物を売っている店は多くありますので、飲み物は持参しなくても大丈夫です。

Although it was unfortunately rainy, it became a very good memory. The bus guide was from China, but she spoke to just the two of us in Japanese and showed us a map with recommended places. Since it was my first time visiting, I was very grateful for that. Thanks to her, I was able to enjoy delicious meat sushi and visit the morning market. I was also surprised that the bus arrived exactly on time or even earlier than scheduled. It was a valuable experience to be taken to Shirakawa-go and Takayama, which are not easily accessible by regular buses or cars. Although we only had two hours of free time, I thought it would be nice to visit again slowly next time! Thank you for your help!

生憎の雨でしたが、とても良い思い出になりました。バスガイドさんは中国の方でしたが、私達2人のためだけに日本語でお話して下さったり、地図を出しオススメの場所を教えて下さいました。
初めて訪れる所だったので、非常に有難かったです。
そのおかげで、美味しい肉寿司が食べれましたし、朝市にもいけました。
また、バスの到着時間も予定時間ぴったり、もしくは早く到着し驚きました。
なかなか普通のバスや車では行きづらい白川郷や高山に連れて行って頂き貴重な経験ができました。
自由行動がそれぞれ2時間だったので時間は限られますが、また今度ゆっくり行ってみたいなぁとも思えました！お世話になりましたありがとうございました！

On a tour for foreign tourists, everyone except for one other group was from abroad. The guide was wonderful and introduced us to recommended local gourmet foods and sightseeing spots in Japanese, which made the experience enjoyable.

The announcements on the bus were in Chinese, English, and Japanese, and it was refreshing and interesting to hear the rules for visiting shrines and highlights of each location in both Chinese and English.

After asking about the meeting time and place, we had about an hour of free time upon arrival, allowing us to explore efficiently. Since the itinerary was packed with sightseeing spots, we couldn't take a long lunch, so I took the guide's recommendation of a Miyazaki beef hot dog (delicious) to go and ate it on the bus. If the weather had been nice, it might have been nice to eat it on a bench at Takachiho Gorge. The mango soft serve included in the tour was also exquisite.

Unfortunately, Takachiho Gorge was brown due to rain the previous day, but I heard it is usually emerald green. I plan to return for a second chance someday.

Although it was a long-distance trip, there were appropriate restroom breaks, and the scenery from the car windows around Aso was beautiful, making the journey feel quicker than I expected. We had to walk quite a bit from the bus parking lot to the attractions, but I think it was good exercise.

It was a place that is not easy to reach on your own, so I was very satisfied to be able to visit 3 to 4 spots in a day. Thank you very much.

外国人観光客向けのツアーで、私ともう1組以外は皆さん外国の方でした。ガイドさんがとても素敵な方で、日本語でオススメのご当地グルメや観光名所をご紹介してくださったので楽しく過ごせました。
車内のアナウンスは中国語、英語、日本語の順で、神社での参拝ルールや各名所の見どころ、ご由緒を中国語と英語で聴けたのも新鮮でおもしろかったです。
集合時間と集合場所をきいて、到着したら1時間前後自由行動なので効率よく自由に観光できました。
観光スポットをギュッと詰め込んでいる分、お昼はあまりゆっくりできないので、ガイドさんオススメの宮崎牛ホットドッグ(バリうま)をテイクアウトしてバスの車内で食べました。※季節が良ければ高千穂峡のベンチで食べてもよかったかも。ツアーに含まれるマンゴーソフトも絶品でした。
高千穂峡は残念ながら前日の雨の影響で川が茶色かったのですが、普段はエメラルドグリーンだそうです。いつかまたリベンジしようと思います。
長距離移動ですがトイレ休憩も適宜あり、阿蘇周辺からは車窓からの景色がキレイだったので思っていたよりあっという間でした。バスの駐車場から名所までわりと歩きますが、良い運動になったと思います。
自力ではなかなか行きにくい所だったので、日帰りでサクッと3〜4ヶ所も観光できて大満足でした。ありがとうございました。

I finally made it to Takachiho. The trilingual guide was charming and spoke efficiently, providing a wealth of information. It was my first time on a mixed tour, and I was a bit worried, but there was also a sub-assistant, and we had a great time chatting. Being able to speak a little English with people from overseas was a wonderful memory. During our free time, I enjoyed soft serve ice cream at a café with a stunning view, which was very satisfying. The driver must have been tired from the long hours of driving, but he was always cheerful and accommodating, which made me truly happy!

念願の高千穂に。トリリンガルのガイドさんはチャーミングでテキパキ話し、いろんな情報をお待ちの素晴らしい方でした。
混乗ツアーというのは初めてで心配でしたが、サブアシスタントの方もいらっしゃり、楽しくお話できました。
海外の方と英語で少し、話ができたことも素敵な思い出です。自由時間には、絶景カフェでソフトクリームも食べれて、大満足。
運転手さんも長時間の運転でお疲れのはずですが、にこやかに対応していただき、本当に大満足でした！

There were groups of Japanese guests, as well as Chinese guests from Taiwan and Hong Kong. The guide was also Chinese. Inside the bus, everything was in Chinese, but when we got off the bus to tour the sightseeing spots, I was able to chat in Japanese with the guide, who was very kind and cheerful. Takachiho Gorge and Amano Iwato Cave required quite a bit of walking, and I was sweating a lot. However, it was very worthwhile and truly moving.

日本人客数組。後は台湾や香港などからの中国人客。
ガイドさんも中国人。車内は中国語でしたが、バスを降りて観光地を巡るとき、ガイドさんの側にいると日本語でいろいろおしゃべりができました。とても親切で明るいガイドさんでした。
高千穂峡、天の岩戸洞窟は、かなりの歩きで、汗だく。でも見応え十分で、感動モノでした。

I never expected to walk so much uphill, so I ended up with sore muscles; it was a good workout. The Chinese tour guide was very pleasant. I'm going to Fukuoka again next month, so I will sign up for a tour of Dazaifu Tenmangu.

まさか、こんなに坂道を歩くとは思わなかったので筋肉痛で、良い運動になりました
中国人の添乗員さんはとても感じの良い方でした。来月また、福岡に行くので太宰府天満宮のツアーを申し込みます

I believe the experience was worth more than the price. I knew it was a tour aimed at foreigners (with many foreign guests), and there were no latecomers or noisy individuals, so it was very comfortable. The driver was safe, and the guide provided explanations in multiple languages. I would like to use this service again.

金額以上に価値のある内容だと思います。
外国人向け(外国人利用客が多い)のツアーと分かっていましたし、遅刻や騒がしいなどそういった方もいなかったのでとても快適でした。
安全運転なドライバーさんに複数の言語で説明してくれるガイドさん。
また利用したいと思います。

I was able to book a tour I had wanted to go on while traveling alone in Kanazawa. Thank you to Mr. Kuroda and the driver for a fun and safe tour. It was great to look at the map while listening to Mr. Kuroda's guidance in the car, and once we arrived, I could freely explore on my own. There were also foreign participants, and I was very interested in Mr. Kuroda's English conversation. He was kind, humorous, and wonderful. Although my English is not very good, I was able to talk with everyone, which was a great learning experience. The foreign participants also said they had fun, which made me happy. The summer visit to Shirakawa-go was nice (it was hot!), but I would like to go again in the snowy season next time.

金沢に一人旅をしたついでに以前から行きたかったツアーに予約することができました。黒田さんと運転手さん、楽しく安全なツアーをありがとうございました。車内で黒田さんのご案内を聞きながら地図を見て、着いてしまえば一人で自由に行動できるのでよかったです。外国人の方も参加されていて私は黒田さんの英会話に興味津々で聞いておりました。優しくてユーモアがあって素敵でした。私も拙い英語力ですがみなさまとお話することができて勉強になりました。外国人の方も楽しかったと言っておられて私も嬉しかったです。夏の白川郷も良かったですが(暑かった！)次回は雪の季節に行きたいです。

I had never been to Takayama or Shirakawa-go, and I wanted to visit both, so I found this tour. The stay at both locations was about two hours each, totaling four hours, which wasn't enough time to explore thoroughly, but after seeing reviews from others, I felt I could enjoy the atmosphere, so I signed up. As a first-time experience, I was quite satisfied.

It was easy and comfortable to just take a bus from Nagoya Station. Most of the participants were foreigners, but this is common at tourist spots these days, so I wasn't particularly surprised, and it didn't make for an unpleasant experience; I was comfortable throughout. However, since it can be a matter of luck who you end up with on such tours, I think a somewhat tolerant mindset is necessary.

There isn't much time after arriving at the destinations, so I did some research beforehand.

◆ In Shirakawa-go, I had a "suttate" hot pot. The exquisite balance of miso and soy sauce, along with the compatibility with Hida beef and vegetables, was outstanding, and I really enjoyed it! After that, I also indulged in water pudding. I waited about five minutes in line with around ten people ahead of me, but when I passed by the shop later, the line had grown three to four times longer, so I think it's best to line up without hesitation if it's not crowded. I thought it would be tough to climb the hill to the observation deck in the heat, so I took the bus, and walked down for about ten minutes. The walking path had shade from trees, so I wasn't exposed to the sun much. Occasionally, the water flowing from the slope by the road was clean, cold, and refreshing. The bus stop is near Wada House. I arrived at the bus stop just one minute before departure and managed to get on, but it was nearly full. I think it's safer to arrive about ten minutes before departure. If you search "Shirakawa-go Bus Observation Deck" online, you can find the official schedule. Buses generally depart at 00, 20, and 40 minutes past the hour, but I recommend checking in advance. The fare is 200 yen, and you can exchange money on the bus. Since it's just a little over a ten-minute walk, if the bus schedule doesn't match and walking up isn't a burden, that could also be a good option. I also toured inside Wada House. The admission fee was 400 yen per person, cash only.

◆ After that, it was time to gather, and we boarded the bus, arriving in Takayama around 2 PM after about an hour. We had steak and sukiyaki at a restaurant called Aji no Yohei. It was a very nice place. Many restaurants seem to close around 2 PM for lunch, so it's good to do some research on that as well. Afterward, we strolled around the town, sampling Hida beef croquettes and Hida beef sushi.

Overall, I enjoyed the scenery, the town, and the gourmet food, making it a very satisfying tour!

高山と白川郷に行ったことがなく、両方とも回りたいと思っていたところこのツアーを見つけました。2箇所とも2時間ずつ計4時間ほどの滞在で、じっくり回れるほどの時間ではありませんでしたが、他の方々の口コミを見て、一通り雰囲気は味わって楽しめそうでしたので、申し込みました。結果、初回体験としては十分な満足度でした。

名古屋駅からバスに乗るだけで連れて行ってもらえるので、予想通り楽&快適でした。参加者は外国人がほとんどですが、この状況は昨今どの観光地でも同じなので特に驚きはありませんでしたし、そのせいで特に嫌な思いをすることもなく、最後まで快適でした。まぁどんな方々と一緒になるかは運次第のところもあるでしょうから、こういったツアーで活動を共にするなら、幾分寛容な心構えは必要と思います。

目的地到着後はあまり時間がありませんので、事前に調べて臨みました。

◆白川郷ではすったて鍋を食べました。味噌と醤油の絶妙な味、そして飛騨牛や野菜などとの相性は抜群で、かなり気に入りました！
その後は水プリンも堪能しました。私は10人待ちぐらいで5分ほど並んで買いましたが、後に店の前を通ると行列が3~4倍ほどになっていましたので、空いてるなら迷わずに並ぶのが良いと思いました。
展望台へは、暑い中、坂道を登るのは大変と思いバスで行き、帰りは徒歩10分ほどで下りてきました。徒歩の道には木陰が続き、そこまで日差しを受けることはありませんでした。時々道路脇の斜面から側溝に流れてきている水は綺麗で冷たくて気持ち良かったです。
バス停は和田家のそばにあります。バス停には出発直前1分前に着いて、乗れましたが定員ギリギリでした。出発の10分前ぐらい前に着いておくのが安全と思いました。｢白川郷 バス 展望台｣でネット検索すると公式ページの運行ダイヤが出てきます。大体毎時間00分，20分，40分に出発となっていますが、事前確認をお勧めします。料金は200円、車内両替可能でした。徒歩10分ちょっとなので、バスの時間が合わず、歩いて登るのが苦にならないなら、それも良いと思います。
和田家の中も見学しました。見学料は一人400円、現金のみ対応でした。

◆その後集合時間になりバスに乗り込み、1時間ほどで高山に14時ごろ到着。
味の与平というお店で、ステーキ御前とすき焼き御膳を2人でいただきました。とても雰囲気の良いお店でした。昼の部は14時に閉まるお店も多そうなので、これも下調べしておくのが良いです。その後、街を散策しながら飛騨牛コロッケや飛騨牛握り寿司などを食べ歩きました。

こうして、景色、街並み、グルメなど楽しめて、とても満足のいくツアーでした！

We found out that we could take a day trip to Shirakawa-go from Kanazawa Station, so we participated as a family. The bus was comfortable, and the guide's explanations were enjoyable, providing recommendations for shops and souvenirs. Since we didn't have a guidebook, the distributed map was very helpful. The lunch was delicious, and my elementary school daughter finished everything. It was really hot, and the iced coffee we had at a café while looking at the gassho-zukuri houses was truly delicious. Next, I want to see the winter scenery of Shirakawa-go.

金沢駅から日帰りで白川郷に行けると分かり家族で参加しました。バスは快適でガイドさんの案内も楽しくおすすめのお店やお土産を教えていただきました。ガイドブックは持っていなかったのでマップが配られて助かりました。お昼ご飯も美味しくて小学生の娘も完食しました。とっても暑くて途中カフェで合掌造りの家々を見ながら飲んだアイスコーヒーは本当に美味しかったです。次は冬の白川郷の景色が見たいです。

We participated with two Japanese people! The guide was very kind and recommended great places and shops in both Takayama and Shirakawa-go. We had plenty of time and were able to fully enjoy both locations. In Takayama, we had the guide's recommended Hida beef hitsumabushi. It was very delicious and a great value!!!! The announcements on the bus were in English, Japanese, and Chinese, which served as a good listening practice for foreign languages! I especially recommend this for those who want to study languages!!

日本人2人で参加しました！
ガイドさんがとても優しくて、高山、白川郷共におすすめの場所やお店を教えてくださいました。時間はゆとりがあり、両方ともしっかり楽しむことが出来ました。
高山ではガイドさんおすすめの飛騨牛ひつまぶしをいただきました。コスパ良しでとっても美味しかったです！！！！
バス内でのアナウンスが英語、日本語、中国語だったため、外国語のリスニング練習になりました！言語を勉強したい人には特にオススメです！！

This was my second trip to Kanazawa, and this time I went to a slightly different place! We rented a car, so we didn't have to deal with the hassle of finding parking, and we headed to the UNESCO World Heritage site Shirakawa-go. There were also participants from overseas, so the explanations in both Japanese and English, along with the information from our guide, made the bus ride enjoyable. The local cuisine for lunch was delicious, and afterward, we had free time to explore, which allowed us to have a great time without any worries. Thank you to our guide and driver!

金沢旅行2回目、今回はちょっと違う所へ！と
レンタカー借りて、駐車場探しての煩わしさなく世界遺産白川郷へ、
海外の方の参加もいらっしゃったので、日本語と英語の説明と、ガイドさんだから知ってる情報とバスの中も楽しかったです。
お昼の郷土料理も美味しく、その後は自由散策だったので、気を使う事なく楽しい時間を過ごせました♪
ガイドさん、ドライバーさんありがとうございます

I had a great time!
The scenery of the river, mountains, and trolley was beautiful!
At the end, there were festival-like foods from a food boat. ✨

とても楽しかったです！
川と山とトロッコの景色が綺麗でした！
最後には屋台船でお祭りのような食べ物がありました✨

Although almost everyone was from overseas, the guide and the bus driver were polite, and there were simple explanations in Japanese. I understood a little English, so I was able to enjoy the experience without any issues. Since it was during the Obon period, some changes were made to the sightseeing schedule due to traffic congestion. There wasn't a detailed guide; they took us to the spots by bus, and then we had almost complete freedom to explore on our own. I think this is recommended for those who want to visit tourist spots in a light and inexpensive way rather than having a fully guided tour.

ほぼ全員海外の方たちばかりでしたが、ガイドの方とバスの運転手も丁寧で日本語の簡単な説明もありましたし、英語も少しわかったので困ることなく楽しめました。御盆期間ということもあり、渋滞の関係で観光スケジュールが一部変更されました。細かいガイドがあるわけではなく、バスでスポットに連れて行ってくれたら自由行動がほぼです。しっかり説明付きの観光地巡りというよりかは、安く軽く観光地に行きたい方にはおすすめだと思います。

I participated in a day trip with my child on August 13th. The bus was fully booked for a mixed tour with more than half of the participants being from China. The guide was also from China and provided announcements in Chinese, Japanese, and English, making the proceedings smooth.

In Shirakawa-go, the menchi-katsu and Hida milk ice cream were exquisite. We walked a long distance to the observation deck, but the breathtaking view made the effort worthwhile, even though we were drenched in sweat.

In Takayama, it rained in the second half, but we enjoyed a lot of food sampling. I was particularly satisfied with the Hida beef sushi, which I had been eager to try. The rice flour churros were so delicious that I would love to eat them again. Takayama is said to have several sake breweries, and at a shop where we could taste different kinds of sake, I enjoyed comparing them and purchased some dry sake as a souvenir. The shop selling Takayama pudding had a long line, but as a pudding lover, I was glad I waited. Although some varieties were sold out by the time we arrived after 3 PM, I managed to get the plain and matcha flavors and enjoyed them right away on the bus.

This tour did not include meals, but I felt that the biggest charm was being able to enjoy walking around and eating whatever we liked. The return to Nagoya was almost on time, making it an enjoyable and extraordinary day trip.

子供と日帰り旅行と言うことで、お盆の13日に参加しました。中国の方が半数以上の混載ツアーでバスは満席でした。
ガイドさんも中国の方でしたが、中国語,日本語,英語でそれぞれアナウンスしていただき進行もスムーズでした。
白川郷ではメンチカツや飛騨牛乳アイスクリームが絶品でした。展望台へは長距離を歩きましたが、汗だくになりながら登った甲斐があったと思えるほどの絶景を見ることができました。
高山では後半に雨が降ってしまいましたが、たくさん食べ歩きを楽しむことができました。中でも、飛騨牛握り寿司は絶対食べたいと思っていたので大満足でした。米粉チュロスはもう一度食べたいくらい美味でした。高山は酒蔵がいくつかあるらしく、 日本酒の試飲ができるお店では飲み比べも楽しめて、お土産に辛口日本酒を購入しました。高山プリンのお店は行列になっていましたが、プリン好きの私は並んで正解でした。15時過ぎていたので一部売り切れの種類もありましたが、プレーンと、抹茶をゲットし早速バスの中でいただきました。
今回のツアーはお食事が含まれませんがその分それぞれが好きな物を食べ歩きできるところが最大の魅力だと感じました。
帰りの名古屋到着時効もほぼ定刻通りで申し分ない、非日常的な楽しい日帰り旅行になりました。

You can thoroughly explore Hida Takayama and Shirakawa-go in one day. The guide was from China and currently lives in Japan. The explanations were provided in the order of Chinese → English → Japanese. For Chinese language learners, this is also a great opportunity for language study.

By the way, I was not recognized as Japanese by the guide until the end of the tour.

飛騨高山と白川郷が1日でガッツリ観光できます。
ガイドさんは中国出身で日本に住んでるいる方でした。
また案内は中国語→英語→日本語の順です。
中国語学習者にとっては語学の勉強にもなります。

ちなみに私はツアー終了まで、ガイドさんに日本人であることを気づかれませんでした。

I was searching for a tour to visit Aso Kusasenri and finally found this one. We were the only Japanese participants, while the rest of the group was quite international, including people from China, South Korea, Switzerland, Germany, the United States, and Poland. Our guide, Ryu, provided guidance in both Chinese and English, while also being very considerate towards us.

Initially, we couldn't enter the crater due to restrictions, but after checking by phone following our visit to Kusasenri, we learned that the restrictions had been lifted, which prompted applause from the bus participants! Thanks to that, we were able to see the impressive crater up close. We arrived late to Dazaifu Tenmangu, which was changed from Kurokawa Onsen, due to traffic, and the shops at the entrance were closed, but the quiet atmosphere of the shrine at dusk was actually very nice.

Thank you, Ryu and the driver!

阿蘇草千里を訪れるツアーを探していてようやく見つけたのがこちらのツアーでした。参加者は日本人は私達二人だけ、あとは中国、韓国、スイス、ドイツ、アメリカ、ポーランド‥と国際色豊かなツアーでした。ガイドのリュウさんは中国語と英語で案内をしつつ、私達にも細やかに気を遣ってくれました。
火口は最初規制で入れなかったのですが、草千里の後電話で確認してくれたら規制が解除されて入れるとのこと、バスの参加者から拍手がわき起こりました！おかげで迫力ある噴火口を間近でみることができました。黒川温泉から変更になった太宰府天満宮へは渋滞で着くのが遅くなり、門前のお店は閉まっていたのですが、夕暮れの天満宮は静かで逆にとても良かったです。
リュウさんドライバーさん有り難うございました！

I think it was a typical bus tour with an irresponsible itinerary. It should have been clearly stated that the traffic conditions differ between regular days and the last day of the Obon holiday, which can affect the schedule. It's very unfortunate that the crew members, who had no responsibility, were blamed. The guide (Betty) was relaxed and enjoyable, unlike the typical Japanese style. Thank you for explaining in Japanese, even though it was in English and Chinese. It was a rushed tour, but thanks to the guide, I had a great time.

バスツアーにありがちな、無責任な行程表だったと思います。通常の日とお盆休みの最終日では車の込み具合も違ってくるので行程通りにはいかないことがある旨を明記しておくべき。
全く責任の無い乗務員の方が責められてしまいとても気の毒。
ガイドの方(ベティさん）は日本人と違いいい感じで力が抜けていてとても楽しいガイディングでした。英語、中国語なのに日本語でも説明下さりありがとうございました。駆け足のツアーでしたが、ガイドさんのおかげで楽しめました。

After being jostled on the bus from Nagoya Station, we first headed to Shirakawa-go. We arrived around 11 AM and had a free exploration time of 2 hours. Considering it would be crowded during lunch, we decided to eat first.

I enjoyed the "suttate-nabe," which I had been wanting to try. The rich flavor of the soybeans spread in my mouth, and it was satisfying with plenty of ingredients like Hida beef! The stone tofu was also great; it was a firmer tofu with concentrated soybean flavor, and eating it with wasabi was the best.

After that, we aimed for the observation deck while enjoying Hida beef soft serve ice cream. It had a cookie shaped like a gassho-zukuri house on top, making for great photos with the scenery.

We walked for about 20 minutes to reach the observation deck, and since we had limited time, we enjoyed the view briefly before hurrying back to the bus. For those heading to the observation deck, the shuttle bus runs infrequently, and timing can be tricky, so I recommend planning your time and going up early.

Next, we took another bus ride for about an hour to Hida Takayama. We arrived around 2 PM, and many restaurants were closing as lunch time was ending, so I think it's best to go to your desired place first. Here, we also had 2 hours of free time.

In Hida Takayama, we mainly enjoyed food walking, trying Takayama ramen and Hida beef croquettes. Finally, we relaxed at a cute café called Usagi, reflecting on our trip. I bought some Hoba miso and local sake as souvenirs, making for a fulfilling 2 hours.

From there, it took about 3 hours to get back to Nagoya, with a helpful restroom break along the way. It was a safe and enjoyable trip, and the bus tour was incredibly fulfilling and went by quickly!

名古屋駅からバスに揺られ、まずは白川郷へ。11時頃に到着し、自由散策時間が2時間。お昼で混み合うことを考えまずは食事をとることにしました。
白川郷食べてみたかったすったて鍋を堪能。大豆の濃厚な味わいが口の中に広がり、飛騨牛などの具材もたっぷりで満足でした！
石豆腐も、大豆の旨みがぎゅっと濃縮された、硬めのお豆腐でわさびと一緒に食べるのが最高でした。
そのあとは展望台を目指し、飛騨牛ソフトクリームを食べながら歩きました。合掌造りのクッキーが乗っていて、景色と撮ると写真映えします。
20分ほど歩いて展望台まで行き、時間も少ししかなかったので上からの景色を少し楽しんだのちに、足早にバスまで歩きました。
展望台へ行かれる方は、シャトルバスの本数も少なく、タイミングが合わないこともあるので、時間配分を考えて早めに登るのをおすすめします。

続いて1時間ほどバスに揺られ、飛騨高山へ。到着したのが2時頃だったので、ランチタイムがそろそろ終わり閉まるというお店も多かったので、お目当てのお店は先に行くのが◎と思います。ここも自由時間は2時間です。

飛騨高山では高山ラーメンや飛騨牛コロッケなど、食べ歩きメインで楽しみました。
最後はうさぎという可愛いカフェでゆっくりとし、旅の振り返りをしました。
お土産に朴葉味噌と地酒を購入し、濃い2時間でした。
そこから3時間ほどかけ名古屋へ。途中トイレ休憩もあり助かりました。
最後まで安全運転で、安心して楽しめる旅でした。
とてもあっというまで充実したバスツアーでした！！

The parking lot was well-equipped, allowing us to enjoy our sightseeing in Kyoto with peace of mind. The boatman's stories were very interesting, and the time spent enjoying the breathtaking views was truly invaluable. I look forward to experiencing the scenery that shows different expressions with each season again.

駐車場完備で安心して京都観光できました。
船頭さんのお話がとっても興味深く、絶景を楽しみながらの時間は何にも変え難いものでした。
季節ごとに違った表情を見せてくれる景色をまた堪能したあです。、

It was hot.
There weren't many places to see, and I had too much time on my hands. I had a lot of trouble because there weren't any places with air conditioning. If you go, you should definitely avoid summer. But it was a good experience.

暑かった
見るところは余りなくて、時間が有り余ってしまいました。エアコンが効いてている場所が無くてとても困った。行くならば夏だけは避けるべきです。でも良い体験でした。

The guide was very dedicated. We got caught in traffic during the Obon holiday, and our arrival was significantly delayed. I couldn't see it, but my companion said they were anxious because the driver was going too fast.

ガイドさんが一生懸命でした。
お盆の渋滞に巻き込まれて　到着が予定時間よりずいぶん遅れました。
私は見えなかったのですが　連れが運転手さんが飛ばし過ぎで　ハラハラしたと言ってました。

I realized this was a multinational tour just three days before it started! I participated with some anxiety. I was the only Japanese person; the rest were Westerners and Chinese. However, the guide explained the tour details and the places we would visit in Chinese, and then came to each seat to provide thorough explanations in English and Japanese for the others. I was impressed by their cheerful and energetic demeanor, and I really appreciated it! Thank you.

このツァーが多国籍ツァーだと理解したのが催行3日前！
不安を覚えながらの参加。日本人は私ひとり。あとは西洋の方、中国の方など。
でも、ガイドさんはツァーの内容、この先観光する場所の説明を中国語で説明した後、それ以外の人には席まで来て、英語、日本語で丁寧に説明してくれました。
笑顔、元気を絶やさない働き振りに頭が下がり、とっても好感が持てました！
ありがとうございます。

As mentioned in other reviews, this was a tour aimed at Chinese visitors. I signed up knowing it would be crowded during the Obon holiday, but there were only 10 people in total (with 3 groups being Chinese), which was quite few. Since we traveled in a large tour bus, we were able to sit comfortably without worrying about the people behind us, and I could fully recline my seat and sleep during the journey, which was great. The guide, Mr. Chou, spoke in Chinese first and then in Japanese, and his smile was wonderful. At Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, we were able to hear explanations that we wouldn't have known if we were on our own, which was nice. At Kamado Hell, we also received explanations unique to the tour, which was great.

他の方の口コミにもあるように
中国の方向けのツアーだったのですが、
お盆で混んでるのを覚悟で申し込みしましたが、
５組で１０人だけ（中国系の方が３組）と少なかったんですが、大きな観光バスで行けたので、とてもゆったり座れて後ろの人のことも気にせずにリクライニングも全開に倒して移動は眠れたので、良かったです。
ガイド（チョウ）さんも中国語の後に日本語を
話してくださり、笑顔もすてきでした。
太宰府天満宮でも、自分たちだけなら知らなかった説明を聞けて良かったです♪
かまど地獄でもツアーならではの説明も聞けて良かったです♪

As others have mentioned, the Chinese guide who was fluent in both Japanese and English was wonderful. Aside from myself, everyone else was a foreigner (all from China except for one person from Italy), but it was a comfortable trip with strict adherence to the schedule, not a group tour.

他の方も書いていらっしゃるように、日英に堪能な中国語のガイドさんが素晴らしかったです。私以外、皆外国の方（イタリア１人以外は中国）でしたが、団体旅行ではなく、時間厳守で快適な旅でした。

The guide was very kind. Most of the explanations were in Chinese, but they spoke to me in Japanese, saying, "I'll let you know the time and place, so it's okay!" They also casually asked in Japanese, "Where are you from?" and "It's hot, isn't it?" There were many participants from China, but everyone was well-mannered and punctual. Since the tour moves quickly and visits various places in a short time, I think this tour is perfect for those who love to be active.

ガイドさんがとても優しかったです。説明はほとんど中国語ですが、「時間と場所はお知らせしますから大丈夫ですよ！」と日本語で話しかけて下さいました。また「どちらから来たんですか？」「暑いでしょ！」と気さくに日本語で声をかけて下さいました。中国の方の参加者が多かったですが皆さんマナーも良く、時間をキッチリ守る方たちばかりでした。短時間でジャンジャンいろんな所を周るので動くのが大好きな方にはこのツアーはピッタリだと思います。

Since it was my first time participating, I had various anxieties, but I was able to have a great time. It was nice that everyone was quiet on the bus, and we gathered on time without anyone being late. Although not a guide, there was a company representative present, which made me feel at ease. Announcements were made in Japanese, Chinese, English, and Korean, making it very easy to understand. People from various countries participated, and I enjoyed it.

初めて参加したので、色々と不安がありましたが、とても楽しく過ごす事が出来ました。
バス内でも、皆さん静かにされてて良かったですし、時間通りに集合し誰1人と時間に遅れる事がありませんでした。
ガイドさんではありませんが、会社の付き添いの方が居て安心しました。日本語、中国語、英語、韓国語で全ての方にアナウンスされててとても分かりやすかったです。色々な国の方が参加されていましたが、楽しめました。

I wanted to take a day trip to Kyoto during my stay in Osaka, so I joined the tour with my partner, who doesn't understand Japanese. The tour itself was very satisfying as it efficiently covered the sightseeing spots! My partner seemed to enjoy it a lot, and I was glad we participated.

If I had to mention some dissatisfaction, it would be that Kinkaku-ji was too crowded with tourists, and because of the rain, everyone had umbrellas, making it very difficult to move around. We also didn't have much time, so we couldn't take our time to appreciate it. Additionally, someone on the same bus was always late for the meeting time, which meant we lost the time we were looking forward to at Todai-ji, and that was disappointing.

大阪滞在中に日帰りで京都に行きたくて、日本語が分からないパートナーといっしょに参加しました。
ツアー自体は効率よく観光地を回れて非常に満足いくものでした！パートナーも非常に楽しそうにしていて、参加してよかったと思いました。
不満な点を挙げるとすれば、金閣寺は観光客が多すぎ＆雨でみんな傘をさしていて非常に動きづらさがあった＆時間もあまり無くて落ち着いて見られませんでした。
また、同じバスに乗っていた方が常に集合時間に遅れたため、楽しみにしていた東大寺へ行く時間が無くなり残念でした。

I made a reservation by writing down the places I wanted to go without considering the distance. Thanks to the wonderful driver I met, everyone had a fantastic sightseeing experience! Fluent in English and knowledgeable about history! The conversation was interesting! Thank you very much!

距離を考慮なしに、行きたいところをとりあえず書き込んで予約しました。
素晴らしい運転手さんに巡り会えたお陰で、
皆んな大満足な観光となりました！
英語堪能、歴史に詳しい！
話が面白い！
本当にありがとうございました

This tour is not the typical sightseeing tour we usually think of. About 90% of the participants are of Chinese descent, and while the guide may be excellent as an interpreter, there is a complete lack of explanations regarding the local history or the geography of Takachiho Gorge, which are generally expected from a sightseeing guide. For those who don't need any of that and just want to be taken around, it may be convenient, but for those who want to learn about the local specialties, history, and culture, it is a disappointing tour.

このツアーは通常我々が考えている観光ツアーではありません。
参加者の9割が中華系の方々で、ガイドさんも通訳としては優秀なのでしょうが現地の歴史とか高千穂峡の地理的な説明など一般的に観光ガイドに求められる説明は皆無です。
全くそんなの必要ないですという方で、連れて行ってほしいだけという方にとっては便利でしょうが、その土地の特産とか歴史・文化を知りたい人にとっては残念なツアーです。
