All Reviews for Japan Autumn Tours 2024

Had the best time on our tour. Our guide Ken was fabulous. He took us everywhere we wanted to go which included the Meiji Shrine, Sensoji Temple, and Shibuya crossing. When we departed our ship Ken was there to greet us. He and the driver were very professional. My only regret is that we didn't have more time before we had to go to the airport to catch our flight home.

In the morning, when I arrived at the meeting place, the cute tour guide, Chin, welcomed us with a smile. The weather was perfect, neither too hot nor too cold. Among many Chinese tourists, Chin provided easy-to-understand explanations in Japanese just for the two of us, took photos, and made it a fun day. I will definitely join Chin's tour again next year. 💞

朝、集合場所へ行くと、可愛い添乗員さん、チンさんが笑顔でお迎えしてくれました。
お天気も暑くも寒くもなく、最高の気候。中国人が多い中、日本人私たち2人のために日本語でもわかりやすい説明で、ガイドしてくれて、写真も撮ってくれ楽しい1日となりました。
また、チンさんのツアー来年行きます。💞

It was a calm day after the rice planting.
Before the rainy season, it was neither too hot nor too cold, and it became a wonderful memory.
It was a lovely village filled with the wisdom and bonds of the Japanese people.

田植え後の穏やかな日和でした。
梅雨に入る前で暑くもなく、
寒くもなく、いい思い出になりました。
日本人の生きる知恵と絆が詰まった
素敵な村でした。

It was nice weather, and the tour was almost full, following the planned itinerary. I'm glad I went✌️. It's a pity that the Chinese guide mostly provided information in Chinese and only conveyed the general details.

いいお天気のなか
ほぼ満席、予定通りの行程でした。
行けて良かった✌️
中国人のガイドさんがほとんど中国語の案内でおおまかなことしか伝えてもらわなかったことが
残念です。

I joined this tour thinking I could stay longer at Takachiho Gorge. It was a beautiful place where I could stroll leisurely and enjoy the stunning views. I heard from the guide that this tour had the highest number of Japanese participants ever. The guide was very kind, and it was an enjoyable tour. We also visited other places like Amano Iwato Shrine, and I appreciated the convenience of being taken around by bus, which highlighted the benefits of a bus tour.

高千穂峡に長く滞在出来ると思いこのツアーに参加しました。高千穂峡はゆっくり散策できて、絶景でした、ガイドさんに、過去一番多く、日本人の方が参加されているとお聞きしました。ガイドさんは、とても親切で楽しいツアーでした。その他の天岩戸神社はじめ、あちこちバスに乗って連れて行ってもらえてバスツアーの良さを感じました。

I participated in a bus tour from Fukuoka to Kumamoto and Miyazaki for the first time. The scenery was beautiful, and it was a mystical experience, plus the lunch was great. The Chinese guide was an interesting person, and I had a lot of fun.

福岡発のバスツアーで熊本、宮崎まで行けるツアーを初めて知り参加しました。景観の良さや神秘的な体験ができ昼食も○
中国人のガイドさんが面白い人で楽しめました。

I was able to efficiently visit three ancient capitals in one day. I participated in June, but I would like to visit Shirakawa-go in winter as well. The female tour guide spoke Japanese well and provided clear explanations, so I think this is a recommended tour.

１日で効率良く3古都巡りができました。6月に参加しましたが冬の白川郷も行ってみたいですね。日本語も上手に話せる女性の添乗員で案内もわかりやすくしてもらいおすすめのツアーかと思います。

I have always wanted to visit Shirakawa-go while living in Kanagawa Prefecture. By chance, I had the opportunity to stay in Kanazawa for one night, so I decided to do some sightseeing in Kanazawa on the first day. I learned that there was a day trip tour to Shirakawa-go from Kanazawa Station, and I decided to join it on the second day. Thanks to the veteran tour guide's explanations and information, I was able to hit all the key points while still enjoying my free time. The duration of the stay was just right. I hadn't thought of a round trip from Kanazawa to Shirakawa-go, but it was a great decision.

神奈川県在住でいつか白川郷に行ってみたいと思っていました。たまたま金沢に1泊する機会ができたので、１日目は金沢観光し、金沢駅から白川郷日帰りツアーがあると知り、２日にこちらに参加することに決めました。ベテラン添乗員さんの説明や情報のおかげでポイントを押さえてなおかつ自由に過ごせました。ちょうどよい滞在時間でした。
金沢発着で白川郷というのはあまり思いつきませんでしたが大正解でした。

Accessing Takachiho from Hakata is quite difficult on your own or for a day trip, but thanks to this bus tour, I was able to visit smoothly. The tour was conducted in Chinese, but the guide was very kind and considerate, allowing me to enjoy the experience without feeling any language barrier.

Additionally, the participants were well-mannered, and the bus interior was very comfortable. I was able to enjoy beautiful scenery and a wonderful experience, making it a highly satisfying tour.

博多から高千穂へのアクセスは自力や日帰りではなかなか難しいですが、今回のバスツアーのおかげでスムーズに訪れることができました。ツアーは中国語での案内でしたが、ガイドさんがとても親切で丁寧に配慮してくださり、言葉の壁を感じることなく楽しめました。

また、参加者の皆さんのマナーが良く、バスの車内もとても快適に過ごせました。美しい景色と素晴らしい体験ができ、満足度の高いツアーでした。

I took advantage of the pair discount campaign and did a personal color diagnosis, body type analysis, and makeup lesson with a friend. The explanations were kind and detailed, allowing us to understand the colors and fashion that suit us! The personal color was very different from what we had thought, and I felt it was great to have it diagnosed by a professional! The makeup lesson was more thorough than I imagined; they dedicated a lot of time to it and taught us step by step from skincare, which was very educational.

ペア割のキャンペーンを利用して友達と2人でパーソナルカラー診断・骨格診断・メイクレッスンをしていただきました。
優しくかつ詳細までご説明いただき、自分に似合う色やファッションを理解できました！パーソナルカラーは自分たちが思っていたものと違ってすごく、プロに診断いただいて良かったと感じました！メイクレッスンは想像以上にしっかりと時間を割いて、スキンケアからステップ毎に細かく教えていただき、とても勉強になりました。

I was the only Japanese participant, but the guide spoke fluently in Chinese, Korean, and Japanese, so there were no issues at all.

I was glad to efficiently visit sightseeing spots that would take a lot of time if I went on my own.

I was also happy with the souvenirs.

日本人は自分一人の参加でしたが、
ガイドの方は中国語、韓国語、日本語と流暢にお話されて全く問題ありませんでした。

自分で行くと、時間がとてもかかる観光スポットを効率的に回れてよかったです。

お土産も嬉しかったです。

I was looking for tourist spots in Nagoya that I could visit before the night bus departure, and the timing and price were just right, so I decided to join as a solo participant. As the reviews mentioned, it was mostly a tour for international travelers, with about 40 people, and only three of us were Japanese.

In the morning, I felt a bit anxious, but everyone was very well-mannered, acted on time, and the bus was completely quiet and comfortable. The tour guide was also very polite, explaining the pamphlets one by one at each seat, which made it easy to understand.

The bus driver was a woman, and she drove safely, allowing me to spend the day with peace of mind. I'm glad I participated. I definitely want to visit Shirakawa-go in winter, so I think I'll join again.

名古屋で夜バスの時間までで行ける観光地を探してて、時間、料金と丁度良いので1人で参加してみました。口コミの通り、ほぼ海外の方達のツアーで40人程の中、日本人は3人でした
朝はちょっと不安になりましたが、皆さん本当にマナーがよく時間通り行動してバスの車内でも全然静かで快適でした
添乗員さんも、大変丁寧な対応でパンフレットを1組ずつ座席を回って説明してくれて分かりやすかったです。
バスの運転手さんも女性の方でしたが、安全運転で安心して1日が過ごせました
参加して良かったです。冬の白川郷にも是非行ってみたいので又参加してみようと思います

As the reviews mentioned, there were only foreigners and we were the only Japanese. Everyone was punctual and very well-mannered, making for a comfortable bus tour. The tour guide spoke multiple languages and came to our seats to explain the pamphlet in each language. They were very kind. In Takayama, we ran out of time since it was lunchtime.

口コミの通り、外国籍の方ばかりで日本人は私たちだけでした。みなさん、時間も守りマナーもとてもよく快適なバスツアーでした。添乗員さんは多国語を話し、パンフの説明もそれぞれの言葉で席まで来て説明してくれます。とても親切ですよ。高山は、お昼時なので時間が足らなくなりました。

I had the pleasure of being guided by a knowledgeable guide who provided extensive information about the history, plants, birds, and bears of Togakushi, allowing me to enjoy the visit to the five shrines. Fortunately, the weather was also favorable, making for a fulfilling day. The long staircase leading up to the starting point, Hakko Shrine, and the Okusha is quite a climb!

戸隠の歴史、植物、鳥や🐻、と幅広く知識が豊富なガイドさんに案内していただき、五社めぐりを楽しむことができました。幸運なことに天候にも恵まれて充実した一日でした。出発点の宝光社と奥社にたどり着く手前の長い階段はかなり登りがいがあります！

I was interested, but I hesitated because I thought it would be difficult to go alone. However, I decided to sign up for the bus tour. The guide's explanations were very good. Next time, I would like to sign up for the winter Shirakawa-go tour.

興味ありましたが1人で行くのは大変だと思って躊躇していましたが、バスツアーならと申し込みました。ガイドさんの説明もよく
良かったです。今度は冬の白川郷ツアーに申し込みたいです。

I expected there would be many foreigners, and there were seven from English-speaking countries, two from China, and the rest from Korea, with only me being Japanese. The guide, Chuchu, secured a seat right behind me and provided guidance through the microphone, then came over to assist me, so I was able to enjoy everything without any problems.

外国人が多そうとは予想してましたが英語圏7人中国2人あとは韓国で日本人は私1人でした。ガイドのチュチュさんがすぐ後ろの席を確保下さりマイクで案内後に隣に来てご案内下さったので何も問題なく楽しめました。

On the morning of the day, I was directed to a different bus departure location than the meeting point during check-in, and I waited there alone, but the bus was nowhere to be found. I spotted the bus number a little further ahead, but the bus had already started moving. I dashed to catch up, knocked on the door, and managed to get the driver to open it so I could slip onto the bus.

I can't help but feel traumatized wondering why they didn't come to pick me up at the designated location if I wasn't there. Since I was the only Japanese person, it made me sad to think that my absence might have been more convenient for them. The guide spoke only in Chinese, so I felt completely out of place as a Japanese person. This was the first time I realized that this tour was prepared for foreigners.

However, I did receive the minimum necessary information in Japanese regarding the meeting time. I visited all the scheduled places while getting drenched in the pouring rain, but it was a tour that left a bad aftertaste.

当日の朝、受付の時に集合場所とは違うバスの発車場所を案内され、1人でそこで待っていましたが、バスは見当たらず、少し先の場所でバスのナンバーを見つけたのですが、もうバスは動き出していました。猛ダッシュで追いかけてドアを叩いて運転手さんに開けて貰ってなんとかバスに滑り込みました。
何故私が居なかったら案内の場所まで迎えに来てくれなかったのかと、トラウマです。
日本人は私1人だから、いない方が好都合だったのかもと悲しくなりました。
ガイドは始終中国語だったので、日本人は完全にアウェイな存在でした。
これは外国人向けに用意されたツアーという事を初めて理解しました。
ですが、集合時間などの最低限の日本語の案内はして貰いました。
土砂降りの雨の中、ずぶ濡れになりながら全ての予定場所は周りましたが、
後味の悪いツアーでした。

The day before, I came to Hakata from the Kanto region for a concert. Since I was there, I wanted to do some sightseeing! I considered taking the train to Yufuin and Beppu Onsen, but it would take a long time and the transfers were complicated. I found this tour and decided right away. I was also able to visit Dazaifu Tenmangu, which I hadn't planned on. Once I arrived at the location, I had almost complete freedom until the meeting time, so it was relaxing.

前日はコンサートで関東から博多に来ました
せっかくなので観光もしたい！
由布院と別府温泉に行ってみたく電車で検討しましたが時間がかかるし乗継が大変
このツアーを見つけて即決
予定していなかった太宰府天満宮にも行けました
現地に着いて集合時間まではほぼ自由なので楽でした

A day trip that can be reached by bus from Hakata Station in about 3 hours.

I highly recommend it because you can visit places that are not easily accessible with a knowledgeable guide.

博多駅からバスで約3時で行ける日帰りツアー

なかなか行けなかった場所に丁寧なガイド付きで行けるので、とてもおすすめてす。

The guide from Shusan was very enjoyable and spoke Japanese well. Although most of the group was from China, they were well-mannered, arrived on time for departure, and the bus was quiet, just like a Japanese tour. However, since the points of interest are only on the bus, I think it would be better to know this in advance to enhance your experience. Meals are not provided at the rest stop, so I recommend buying food and bringing it with you.

シュウサンのガイドはとても楽しく日本語も上手でした。
ほぼ中国の方でしたが　マナ-もよく出発時刻に揃っているしバスの中も静かで日本のツアーと変わりない様子でした。
ただポイントはバスの中だけなので事前に知っておいた方が楽しめると思います。
休憩場所でのご飯は望めませんのでご飯は買って持参したほうがいいと思います。

I think you can enjoy this even if you participate alone, thanks to the thoughtful support from guide Mr. Yuu and driver Mr. Abe. It's great that we can cover a lot efficiently. There isn't time for lunch, but you can buy light snacks like hot dogs at the destination.

ガイドの周さん、ドライバーあべさんの気配りがある対応で、一人参加でも楽しめると思います。効率よく周れるのがいい。昼食の時間はありませんが目的地でホットドッグなど軽食を買うことが出来ます。

The tour guide, Chen, was cheerful and efficient, making it an incredibly fun day. Takachiho is not a place you can visit often. The wonderful scenery nourished my heart during the trip. When the tour guide is bright, the journey is truly enjoyable. Thank you.

添乗員さん、陳さんが明るくて、テキパキしていて、最高に楽しい一日でした。高千穂は、そうそう行ける所ではありません。素晴らしい景色が、私にとって心に栄養をつけた旅でした。添乗員さんが明るいと旅も最高に楽しい。ありがとう。

Since it was a tour for foreigners, I had some anxiety. We were the only two Japanese people. However, our guide, Shu, was very considerate from the time we gathered. Throughout the tour, he was always cheerful and provided an enjoyable experience. He guided us in both Chinese and Japanese, and it was clear that he was always attentive to the participants. The weather wasn't great, but thanks to Shu, it turned out to be a fun day.

外国人向けのツアーであった為、不安がありました
日本人は私達２人だけでした、
しかし、ガイドのシュウさんが集合時から私達にとても気を遣って下さり。
ツアー中も常に明るく、楽しいガイドをしてくださりました
中国語と日本語両方でガイドしてくださり
常に参加者に気配りをしている様子が伺えました
お天気はイマイチでしたが、シュウさんのおかげて楽しい１日となりました

It was wonderful with a charming atmosphere. The view from the observation deck was breathtaking, as if time had stopped. The food was also delicious.

風情があって最高でした。
特に展望台から見た景色は、時が止まったようで感動しました。
食事も美味しかったです。

The guide, interpreter, and driver were all nice people who provided explanations and recommendations, making for a comfortable experience. Most of the participants were inbound travelers, but everyone had good manners, and we were able to enjoy a fun day. Next time, I would like to take the same tour to Shirakawa-go in winter.

ガイドさん通訳さんドライバーさん
皆さんいい人で説明やおすすめも教えてくれて快適でした。
ほとんどインバウンドの方たちですが皆さん
マナーも良く楽しい１日過ごせました。
今度は冬の白川郷にも同じツアーで行って
みたいです。

The lunch included at the cafeteria left us with a somewhat constrained schedule. During Golden Week, Shirakawa-go's facilities were extremely crowded. Given that we could only stay for just over three hours, I would have preferred free time. This way, everyone could spend their time more flexibly according to their own purposes and schedules.

Regarding meals, there are many delicious and diverse food options available throughout Shirakawa-go and Gokayama, so it would be best to allow individuals to enjoy their own food experiences. Especially for tours with many foreigners, preferences vary by cultural background, and there are also religious restrictions (for example, Indians cannot eat beef, and Muslims have halal requirements), so it's better to avoid a standardized meal.

The lack of charging ports for mobile devices on the bus was a critical issue. In today's long sightseeing bus tours, charging facilities are a must.

食堂での昼食が付いていたので中途半端に時間が拘束された。
ＧＷ最中で白川郷各施設は大混雑。その中でグロス３時間強しか滞在できないので、フリータイムにしてほしかった。その方が、各人の目的と都合に合わせて機動的に時間を過ごせる。
食事に関しては、白川郷と五箇山の随所においしそうで多様な飲食物が販売されており、各自好みの食べ歩きに任せてよいだろう。
特に外国人が多いツァーの場合は、出身国の文化ごとに食事の好みが異なる上、宗教上の制約もある（インド人は牛肉ダメ、イスラム系はハラルの制限）ので、画一的な定食はやめた方がよい。

バス内部に携帯充電用の電源がなかったのは致命的。いまどきの長時間の観光バスツァーでは、充電設備はマストである

Lunch was a bit disappointing. We were seated outside with another group, and it was very cold due to the strong wind. The fire for grilling the meat went out quickly because of the wind, and when I informed the restaurant staff, they seemed to have forgotten about it, so we had to wait a long time. I hope they can adjust the seating to avoid overlapping with other groups.

The sightseeing portion was good. We were able to finish smoothly without any traffic jams.

昼食が少し残念だった。他の団体と被っており、外の席で食べたが、風が強くてとても寒かった。強風のせいで、お肉を焼くための火が早く消えてしまったので、レストランの方に伝えたが、忘れられておりずっと待たされた。他の団体と被らないように調節して欲しい。
観光内容は良かった。渋滞もなくスムーズに終えることが出来た。

It was a tour with many international participants, but I was able to enjoy it without any particular inconveniences. I'm glad I participated since these were places I wouldn't have been able to visit on my own. The air conditioning in the bus was blowing from the back, and it was a bit cold.

海外の方が多いツアーということでしたが特に不便なこともなく楽しめました
個人ではなかなか行けない場所ばかりだったので参加して良かったです
バスの中が冷房の風が後ろからあたり少し寒かったです。

This time, I participated in a bus tour at my grandmother's request. It was rainy in the morning, but we thoroughly enjoyed Dazaifu Tenmangu, Yufuin, and Kamado Jigoku! We also got to eat a lot of delicious food ❤️ The ropeway depends on the weather, but I think other places can be enjoyed even if it rains! The driver, our guide Mr. Chong, and the locals were all very kind and wonderful people, making it a very satisfying trip for my chatty grandmother. The foreign participants were also very well-mannered, making it a pleasant bus tour. If I have the chance again, I would love to participate! Thank you very much.

今回おばあちゃんの希望でバスツアーに参加させて頂きました。
午前中は雨でしたが、太宰府天満宮、湯布院、かまど地獄をとても堪能できました！美味しいものもいっぱい食べれました❤️
ロープウェイはお天気次第ですが、他のところは雨が降っていても充分に楽しめると思います！
運転手の方、ガイドのチョンさん、地元の方もとても優しく良い方ばかりで、おしゃべりのおばあちゃんも大満足の旅でした。
一緒に参加していた外国の方々も、マナーがとてもよく、気持ちの良いバスツアーになりました。
また、機会があれば参加させて頂きます！
ありがとうございました。

The weather was great, and the course was good. Especially, our guide, Ryu, was wonderful; he was fluent and knowledgeable in Chinese, English, and Japanese. I was the only Japanese participant, but he explained everything diligently in all three languages at the same ratio. I think he might be a graduate student studying abroad, but he was very considerate towards me, the oldest participant, and I am grateful for that.

お天気にも恵まれ、コースも良かった。特にガイドのリュウさんが素晴らしく、中国語、英語、日本語、どれも流暢で博識。日本人は私1人でしたが3ヶ国、どれも同じ比率で一所懸命、説明してくれました。たぶん留学の大学院生かと思いますがが、参加者最長老らしい私に、色々気遣い頂き、感謝です。
