All Reviews for Historical

It was a short trip with my parents, who find walking a bit challenging, but there were flexible options available. At the red brick area, they waited right nearby, so even though it was a very brief time, we enjoyed it a lot.

歩くのが少し大変な両親を伴っての小旅行でしたが　ある程度の柔軟な選択肢があり　赤レンガでは　すぐそばまで行って待っていてくれたから　とても短い時間でしたが楽しめました

Hase-dera and Muro-ji are located in places that are difficult to access by public transportation, so I was glad to have been taken there. However, there was a mention from the driver early in the morning that Ryūken Shrine was on the schedule, but time-wise it would be tight. Since it was a weekday and not particularly crowded, and given that it was mentioned early in the morning, I thought it might be better not to include it in the schedule if it was already going to be tight on time. We wanted to visit Hase-dera and Muro-ji, so I thought, well, if we can't go, then it can't be helped. As a guide, I have used taxi tours several times for sightseeing in Kyoto, but perhaps the experience level is different. I think it's better not to have too many expectations.

長谷寺や室生寺は、公共交通機関では行きにくい場所にあるので、連れて行って頂いて良かったです。ただ、龍穴神社がスケジュールに入ってますが、時間的には厳しいと朝イチで運転手さんから話しがありました。平日で特に混んでも無いし、朝一の説明でしたので、元々時間的に厳しいのであれば、スケジュールには入れない方が良いのでは？と思いました。我々は長谷寺と室生寺に行きたかったので、まあ行けないのなら、行かなくてもしかたないかな？と思いましたが。ガイドとしては、京都観光でもタクシー観光を何度か使用しましたが、踏んでる場数が違うのでしょう。あまり期待はしないほうが良いかと思います。

I found it very difficult to navigate public transportation, so I decided to book this service. In the end, I was extremely satisfied.
I arrived at Kagoshima Airport in the afternoon, and from there, I was picked up and guided. The driver was very kind, and I had a fulfilling time.

Positive points:
- I was able to efficiently sightsee in a short amount of time.
- I was guided to places beyond the set course, such as Karekawa Station (I believe this varies by driver).
- I received explanations at each location, which helped me learn things I might not have noticed on my own.
- The driver took photos for us at various spots, which was appreciated since we didn't have to ask other tourists to take our pictures.

公共交通機関ではとても回るのが難しそうだったため申し込みしました。結果的に大満足です。
午後に鹿児島空港に到着し、そこから乗車し案内いただきました。ドライバーの方が非常に良い方で、充実した時間を過ごせました。

良い点
・短時間で効率よく観光できました
・決められたコース以外にも案内いただいた
　⇒嘉例川駅など(ドライバーの方によって変わるのだと思います)
・各地で説明いただきました
　⇒自分たちでは気付けなかったであろうことも知ることができた
・各地で写真を撮っていただきました
　⇒他の観光客の方に頼まなくても撮って貰えて有難かった

This time, we had a one-day tour course in the heavy rain caused by the typhoon during this season. It was a bit tough for the elderly. However, thanks to the kind assistance of the guide and driver, as well as the friendly atmosphere among the fellow travelers, we were able to enjoy the day fully even in the heavy rain. It had been a long time since my last visit to Nara (maybe several decades?), and I made some wonderful memories. On the final return day, June 3rd, the Shinkansen stopped in the morning and resumed service in the afternoon with significant delays, making it a trip that was memorable in many ways.

Since this was a two-night, three-day course, there are still places I want to visit, and I am considering returning to enjoy Nara again. I would like to use the regular sightseeing bus during that visit as well.

いやはやこの時期の台風影響で大雨の中での1日周遊コース。年寄りにはやや厳しいコースでした。ただガイド・運転手さんの親切な応対や同乗した人々の和やかな雰囲気で大雨の中でも1日充分に楽しめました。奈良には久々（数十年ぶりかな？）の来訪でよい思い出ができました。最終の帰省日の6/3はam新幹線ストップpm運転再開も大幅遅延、色々な意味で思いで深い旅行でした。
今回は2泊3日コースでしたので行き残している場所もあるので改めて訪問し再び奈良を堪能したいと考えています。その際にも定期観光バスを利用したいと考えています。

Thank you for your assistance.

It was a half-day tour in the afternoon, and since the purpose was to appreciate the Buddha statues at Kofuku-ji, it was good. It rained the whole time, but I was satisfied.

It was a pity that I couldn't see the view from the top of Wakakusa Mountain due to the rain and strong winds.

Thank you very much.

お世話になっております。

Thank you for your assistance.

This was my second trip to the Asuka area, and the detailed explanations from the guide were very good.

The lunch at Kaki Sushi was also delicious.

Thank you very much.

お世話になっております。

今回2度目の飛鳥方面の観光でしたが、ガイドさんの細やかな説明で
大変良かったです。

昼食も柿寿司で美味しかった。

ありがとうございました。

I was able to enjoy my time while considering my mother, who has weak legs, so we didn't have to walk too much. I appreciated the quick response to our request for souvenirs. The weather was nice, and the roses were in full bloom, which made me walk more than usual since I love flowers. It became a wonderful memory.

足の弱い母に合わせ、あまり歩かなくても楽しめるように配慮してもらい、楽しく過ごせました。お土産が買いたいという要望にも、すぐ対応していただき助かりました。
天気も良く薔薇が満開で、花の好きなこともあり、いつもよりたくさん歩いていました。
良い思い出になりました。

The grandeur of the Kitora Tomb and the Asuka village can be enjoyed thoroughly by bus, and I was moved by the birthplace of Prince Shotoku. The richly blessed natural surroundings of the village provide a landscape that is more than enough to imagine life in the past.

キトラ古墳のゴウジャスさ明日香集落もバスで十分楽しめ聖徳太子の生誕の地に感動出来ました。自然に恵まれた豊かな集落は昔の生活が想像するのには十分な風景です。

Thank you to our kind private taxi driver for teaching us so much. It was a wonderful trip! We look forward to seeing you again next year.

今回の貸切タクシー運転手さんは優しくて色々教えていただきありがとうございますとてもいい旅でした♪
また今度来年もよろしくお願いします‍♀️

Although it was Golden Week, it wasn't a public holiday, so it was relatively quiet. There were just the right amount of visitors. The tour course was well-structured, not too busy or too lengthy, just right. Fortunately, the weather was excellent.

There was also time for lunch, as well as tea and traditional sweets. The guide was very knowledgeable and a great speaker. Everything was wonderful.

GWとは言え旗日ではなかったから、比較的空いてました。程よく見学者が来てた、という感じ。見学コースは過不足ない筋立てで、忙しくなく冗長でもなく、丁度良かった。天気は最高だったのは幸いでした。
お昼も、お茶と和菓子の時間もありました。ガイドさんは凄く詳しくお話し上手でした。すべて良かったです。

In the morning, I was disappointed because it was raining, but I'm glad it gradually stopped. I also learned a lot from the explanations about the various sights visible from the car window. Thank you very much.

朝、雨が降っていたので残念に思っていましたが、徐々に止んできてよかったです。色々と車窓から見える所の説明もしていただいたので勉強になりました。ありがとうございました。

I participated in the Yokohama course that revolves around song lyrics with my sister. We received not only information like "This is the place from that song's lyrics," but also learned about many things that originated in Yokohama and the stories behind the locations. It was a fun time. If I have the opportunity again, I would like to use this service.

歌詞でめぐるヨコハマコースに妹と2人で参加しました。
「ここはあの歌の歌詞の場所ですよ」などと言う情報だけでなく、実はたくさんある横浜発祥のものや、場所の言われなどを教えていただきました。
楽しい時間でした。また機会があれば、利用したいです。

My daughter loves Prince Shotoku, so it was our first time in Nara. We took an overnight bus from Shinjuku the night before. The wooden architecture was impressive! It was a continuous series of "Wow!" moments. The guide's explanations were easy to understand. The driver also spoke to us, which made us very satisfied.

娘が聖徳太子好きで初めての奈良でした。前日夜行バスで新宿から出発。木造建築の立派なこと！すごいなーの連続でした。ガイドさんの説明もわかりやすかったです。運転手さんも声をかけてくださり、満足でした。

This time, we spent 7 hours visiting the famous sites in Nara: Hōryū-ji, Chūgū-ji, Yakushi-ji, Jikō-in, and Tōshōdai-ji. The wonderful guidance from the bus guide and the attentiveness and service from the driver were exceptional. The weather was also favorable, and since there were few school trip students in mid-March, we were able to leisurely visit all the temples. At Jikō-in, we enjoyed a talk from the head priest along with tea and sweets, which made our Nara sightseeing experience satisfying, not just limited to the temples and Buddha statues. The weather was great, and the cherry blossoms were starting to bloom.

The guide's explanations were very easy to understand, and they taught me many things I would have missed if I had explored on my own. The time allocation was just right for me. The driver was also kind and supportive. Thanks to both of them, I had a fun and fulfilling trip to Nara. Thank you very much.

ガイドさんの説明はとても分かりやすく、個人でまわっていたら見逃していただろうこともたくさん教えて頂きました。
時間配分も私にはちょうど良かったです。
ドライバーさんも優しくサポートして頂きました。お二人のおかげで楽しく充実した奈良旅となりました。ありがとうございました。

I had a great time talking about various things. The explanations about places I won't be visiting also gave me something to look forward to. I would like to participate again. Thank you for negotiating so that everyone could see the Suzaku mural at the Kitora Memorial Museum; it was a valuable experience.

色々とお話ししてくださり楽しかったです。
行かない場所の説明もあり　次の楽しみができました。
また参加したいです。
キトラ記念館で朱雀の壁画が全員見れるように交渉もして下さり貴重な体験ができました。ありがとうございます。

I thought there would be songs related to Yokohama since it mentioned touring with melody lyrics, but that wasn't the case, so it was a bit different from my expectations. However, I was able to see some hidden spots, factories, and the night view of the port that the driver knew about, which was very nice. I got to experience the scenery of Yokohama that isn't typical.

横浜とメロディー歌詞でめぐるとありましたので、ヨコハマゆかりの曲がかかったりするのかと思いましたが、それは無かったので、少しイメージとは違いました。
ですが、運転手さんのご存じの穴場スポットや工場や港の夜景を見られたので、とても良かったです。
いかにも、ではないヨコハマの風景を味わうことが出来ました。

The guide's explanations were great, kind, and the best. It was my first time seeing the Great Buddha in Nara since my middle school field trip, and I was really moved. Nara was healing, and I was able to relax and it was very nice.

ガイドさんの説明が良くて、優しいし最高でした。
奈良の大仏さまも、中学の修学旅行以来で、なんか感動しました。
奈良は癒やされて、ゆっくりできてとてもよかった。

It was my first time in Nara. When my grandchild said they wanted to see the deer, the driver kindly changed the plan and took us from Murō-ji to Tōdai-ji. We also visited a temple with beautiful autumn leaves that wasn't part of the original course. I'm grateful for this enjoyable trip filled with memorable moments.

初めての奈良でした。鹿が見たいと孫が言いますとドライバーさんが予定変更してくださり室生寺から東大寺まで走らせて頂きました。またコースには入っていない紅葉がたいへん綺麗なお寺も見学です。思い出残る楽しい旅を感謝します。

It was a school trip after 50 years, just as the guide said. I didn't have much interest in the national treasure statues during my student days, but at this age, I found myself intrigued and had a fulfilling experience directly appreciating their magnificence.

ガイドさんの言う通り50年ぶりの修学旅行でした。学生時代には余り興味もなかった国宝の仏像もこの歳になって興味も湧きその素晴らしさに直に触れて観られた充実した観光でした。

Honestly, when I booked this tour, I thought the driver would just take us from place to place, but they guided us to some great recommended spots beyond the scheduled attractions, like an old station where seven-star hotels stop, the source of a waterfall that features Japan's oldest rock bath, and a hot spring source with rising steam. It was a lot of fun. (Maybe I just had a great driver...) They also prioritized our time well, and we arrived at the station right on schedule. Thank you for creating such wonderful memories.

正直このツアーを頼んだ時は、移動だけドライバーの方が来るのかなと思ってましたが、予定されていた観光地以外におすすめの場所（７つ星の止まる古い駅舎や滝の源泉になっている日本最古の岩風呂、煙が立ち上る温泉の源泉等）を案内してくださりとても楽しかったです。
（ドライバーさんの当たりがよかったかもですが、、、）
時間を見て優先順位も付けてくださり、駅への到着も時間ピッタリでした。
いい思い出を作ってくださりありがとうございました。

There were stairs and surprisingly many places to walk. My high school son was so tired that he slept soundly at night, haha. I felt fortunate to have a great driver. Thank you to the driver for the various stories and guidance.

階段だったり、意外と歩くところも多くて
高校生の息子も、夜はグッスリ眠れるくらい疲れてました笑
運転手さんに恵まれたと感じています。
運転手さん、色々なお話、案内、ありがとうございました。

The taxi had no partition between the driver's seat and the back seat, and there was no alcohol disinfection.

It was my first time using a sightseeing taxi, but I received detailed explanations about Nagoya Castle and various other things. It was enjoyable.

If I have the opportunity to go again, I would like to use it.

Even though I've visited Kamakura many times, I felt like it was my first time. The person who pulled the rickshaw was a pleasant individual with a high level of professionalism. While I can't say it was cheap, I am very satisfied this time.

何度も訪れている鎌倉なのに、初めて訪れたような気持ちになりました。人力車を引いて下さった方は、プロ意識の高い気持ちの良い方でした。
お安いとは言えない金額ですが、今回は大満足です。

I walked a lot, but it turned out to be a very fulfilling day. The guide's explanations were educational, and they lent me a parasol. The driver was also a warm person, and the staff from Nara Kotsu were excellent.

沢山歩きましたが、すごく充実した1日になりました。ガイドさんの解説は勉強になるし、日傘を貸して下さったり、運転手さんも温かい方で奈良交通のスタッフさん最高でした。

Thank you, Mr. Suzuki, for guiding us in the heat. It was a truly memorable trip! The stories about the deer in Nara and the gods were all very interesting. I bought the recommended Baumkuchen as a souvenir from the hotel. I also enjoyed some Chinese cuisine. The guidance was excellent! I had a great time. I look forward to visiting Nara again!

鈴木さん暑い中案内頂きありがとうございましたとっても心に残る旅になりました❣️
奈良の鹿さんのお話と神様のお話しすべて興味のあるお話しでした☺️✨ホテルの下のおすすめされた、バームクーヘンお土産に買いました☺️中華料理も食べてきました✨案内とても良いです✨
楽しかったです。また奈良に行った時はよろしくお願いします✨

Since I came to Kyushu for work from Chiba for the first time, I decided to explore Kagoshima. I was scared to drive in an unfamiliar area and didn't have much time before my flight, so I joined this tour.

I had never been interested in historical figures or myths before, but after hearing various stories from the driver, I started wanting to read books and watch historical dramas. Usually, when I travel with friends or family, we just end up looking at buildings, but participating in this tour made me want to study the history of the area in advance and share it with others.

Above all, the driver was very friendly and easy to talk to, making it a memorable and enjoyable solo trip. Next time, I hope to create more time to explore at a leisurely pace, and I would like to join again then. Thank you very much.

千葉から仕事で初めて九州に来たので、鹿児島を観光しようと決めました。
知らない土地を運転するのが怖いかつ、フライトまでの時間もさほど無かったため、こちらのツアーに参加いたしました。
これまで偉人や神話には興味が無かったのですが、ドライバーさんから様々なお話を詳しく聞いて、本や大河ドラマを見てみたい思うようになり、
普段友人や家族と旅行に行っても、建造物を見るだけで終わってしまうのですが、今回のツアーに参加して、事前にその土地の歴史を勉強し、人に話してみたくなりました。
なにより、ドライバーさんがとても気さくな話しやすい方で、思い出に残る楽しい一人旅になりました。
今度はもっと時間を作り、ゆっくり観光ができればと思っていますので
その際はまた参加したいと思っております。
ありがとうございました。

The taxi driver explained everything very clearly, and I was able to understand things I didn't know, which made me very satisfied.

Also, during this pandemic, I was able to enjoy my trip with peace of mind. Initially, I had planned for just one day, but I ended up requesting a second day as well.

Thank you very much!

タクシードライバーさんがとってもわかりやすく話をしていただき、知らないこともよくわかり大満足です。

またこのコロナ禍、安心して旅行を愉しむことができ、当初は１日だけの予定でしたが、２日めもお願いしました、

本当にありがとうございました!

I participated in this trip with my middle school son. It was a journey that also served as a culmination of our research on Asuka culture and Tenpyo culture. We were able to visit various famous sites that are usually hard to access on our own, and the guide's explanations were easy to understand, making it a wonderful trip. Along the way, we enjoyed lunch and had some thin tea, and the appropriate breaks were also appreciated. Additionally, there were considerations for COVID-19 measures, allowing us to spend the day comfortably. Thank you very much.

中学生の息子との二人旅で、参加しました。飛鳥文化、天平文化の調べ物学習の仕上げも兼ねた旅でしたが、自分ではアクセスしにくい名所を次々と巡る事ができ、またガイドさんの説明もわかりやすく、とても良い旅になりました。途中、昼食や、薄茶を頂いくこともでき、適度な休憩もあった事も、よかったです。また、コロナ対策にも配慮されており、気持ちよく一日過ごせました。ありがとうございました。

I knew it would be hot, but I wanted to make the most of my precious time off and walk the Kumano Kodo, so I researched and found this plan. Since it was a solo trip, I hesitated at the rather luxurious price, but in the end, it became a wonderful memory! There were so many great things that I can't list them all here, but I'll mention a few that come to mind.

- They asked in advance about the places I wanted to visit → If you have specific preferences, feel free to communicate them, and they will build the route based on that. My wishes were Nakahara and Kumano Hongu Taisha, and the driver took me to many famous spots within the time available. I also requested to stop by a drugstore for some extra supplies, and they kindly accommodated that on the way back.

- Efficient routing → We were able to visit two places: Kumano Hongu Taisha (plus Osaibara) and Hayatama Taisha. They parked very close to the main hall, making it easy to reach.

- The Nakahara walk plus additional stops → They guided me to places like the giant ginkgo tree, Nonaka no Shimizu, and the tea house at the pass, which I wouldn't have been able to reach on my own. I visited Wakayama using public transportation this time, but even if I had rented a car, the roads are so narrow that I wouldn't have been able to drive. I think the flexibility of taxi tourism allows for these kinds of stops.

- The guides at other famous spots were also interesting → I was taken to Hashikui-iwa, Sandanbeki, Senjojiki, and Engetsu Island. Especially at Sandanbeki, they shared stories that definitely wouldn't be found in guidebooks, which was enjoyable.

Since it was a full day of sightseeing, I was quite tired, of course! The itinerary was packed, so that's to be expected. Depending on your physical condition at the time, you can adjust the number of stops, and above all, being able to cover so much in this extreme heat was thanks to the taxi. I believe the distance traveled alone was worth more than the price. The only disappointing thing was that the lunch spots I hoped for were all closed! It must have been an unexpected closure rather than a regular day off. However, the bento I grabbed at the roadside station was delicious. I think it's a great value if used for group travel, and I recommend it for those who want to maximize sightseeing even with a tight schedule. Thank you very much!

暑いことは分かっていたけれど、せっかく取れた休みを有意義に過ごしたいのと熊野古道を歩きたいのとがあって、何か良い手段はないかと調べていてこちらのプランに行き着きました。一人旅ですので随分と贅沢な値段だな…と悩みましたが、結果とても良い思い出になりました！ここに書き切れないくらい色々と良いところがありましたが、思いつく限り挙げてみます。

・事前に行きたい場所を聞いてくれた→こだわりがある方は遠慮なく伝えておくと、それをもとにルートを組み立ててくれる感じです。私の希望は中辺路と熊野本宮大社だったので、あとは運転手さんが有名どころを時間いっぱい、たくさん回ってくれました。また、買い足しのためにドラッグストアに寄りたいとリクエストしたら帰り道の途中に寄ってくれるなど、臨機応変に対応してくれて有り難かったです。

・効率良く回れる→熊野本宮大社（＋大斎原）と速玉大社の2箇所に行くことができました。拝殿に一番近い所に駐車してくれるので、拝殿までさっくりとたどり着けます。

・中辺路ウォーク＋αであちこち立ち寄れた→大銀杏や野中の清水、峠の茶屋など自力では行けない所にも案内してくれました。今回は公共交通機関で和歌山を訪れましたが、仮にレンタカーだったとしても自分では運転できそうにないくらい道が細いです。タクシー観光ならではの小回りがきくところだと思います。

・その他有名どころのガイドも面白かった→橋杭岩、三段壁、千畳敷、円月島にも連れて行ってもらいました。特に三段壁ではガイドブックに絶対載ってないような話をしてくれて、楽しめました。

一日かけての観光ですので、さすがに疲れます笑。中身が相当詰まってますんで当然ですね笑。その時の体調などによって数は調整したら良いですし、何よりこの酷暑の中でこれだけ回れたのもタクシーだからです。走行距離だけでいってもお値段以上に走っているのではないかと思います。ひとつだけ残念だったのは、希望していた昼食場所がことごとくお休みだったこと！定休日じゃなく臨時休業だったのでしょうがないですね。でも急遽立ち寄った道の駅のめはり寿司も美味しかったです。グループ旅行で利用されるならかなりお得な値段だと思いますし、旅程に余裕がないけれど目一杯観光したい方にもオススメします。ありがとうございました。
