All Reviews for Tickets

The performance was very authentic and a wonderful experience. Exchanging Veltra voucher for tickets was incredibly easy. Highly recommend.

I feel it goes without saying that this was a truly magical experience. I feel privileged to have been visiting Kyoto at the time of the Gion Odori and thank VELTRA for making the experience of organising tickets pain-free.

When in Kyoto, tourists walk the streets of Gion, in the hope of spotting Maiko and Geisha. Some will try and take photos inconspicuously of them as they walk by, while others will pay over $200 for a dinner in order to see a Maiko perform 1 dance. This experience which is only available each year for about 10 days in November, will give you everything you need when it comes to seeing true geisha. It’s affordable, you get to see many geisha and maiko and they perform 10 acts during the 1 hour show. You can even take a photo with 2 maiko for a small donation.
There is also a tea ceremony you can be apart of if you turn up at 1pm. It’s a rush job and really confusing because of the language barrier, but basically you sit down, put the pink ticket on the table in front of you and they give you something to eat (little glutenous bun with red bean paste inside) and some matcha tea. You also get to keep the little pink plate the treat is served on. According to the kids (who were trying to be funny), you get to keep the plate because it saves on washing. It was a bit of a production line so we just folded up our treat to go, sipped our tea quickly and left to make room for the next groups of people waiting.
Thanks to Veltra, getting our tickets was super easy and our 7 seats were in the front row. Initially we were worried we might be too close but the seats were great.

It was very beautiful, and I'm glad I went! I was able to see everything from all angles, and I thought it would be nice to go during the day as well! I heard that you can also see the night view from the men's restroom, which is enviable.

とても綺麗で、行ってよかったです！全方位見れて、昼間にも行きたいなと思いました！男性トイレからも夜景が見れるそうで、羨ましいです。

We went as a family of four. Since there was no time limit, one of the adults stayed on the beach to watch our belongings. We were able to enjoy the spacious and empty athletic area. My daughters, who are in the third and sixth grades, were initially scared and struggled to climb the obstacles, but they gradually got used to it and had fun. Only the two adults challenged the big slide! It was enjoyable.

The hotel changing room had free hot showers, and they even provided shampoo, which was great. It's better to wear shoes to the athletic area as there is a risk of being swept away.

家族4人で行きました。時間制限がないので、大人どちらかは、ビーチで荷物番。空いていたしたっぷりアスレチック楽しめました。小学生3年6年の娘も始めは怖がったり、上手くアスレチックに登れなかったけど、徐々に慣れてきて楽しんでました。大人2人だけが大きい滑り台チャレンジ!楽しかった
ホテルの更衣室。シャワー温水しかもシャンプー付き!が無料で使えて良かったです。アスレチックまでは履物で行った方がいいです。流される危険あり

I had a great time playing in the beautiful sea and various athletic activities! My 6-year-old son seemed to have especially enjoyed it, and he was extremely satisfied as he was able to do many things he usually can't. My 4-year-old daughter was initially scared, but she challenged the slide multiple times and by the end, she was able to slide down by herself. I felt she grew the most this summer! The sea was, of course, beautiful and there were plenty of fish! I definitely want to use this place again when I travel to Okinawa. They also provided free showers, and there were shampoos and other amenities available, which was very helpful!

綺麗な海と色々なアスレチックで遊べてとても楽しかったです！
6歳の息子は特に楽しかったようで、普段できない遊びもたくさんできて大大大満足でした！
4歳の娘も、最初は怖がっていましたが何度も滑り台に挑戦して最後は一人で滑れるようになりこの夏一番成長したように感じました！
海は、もちろん綺麗でお魚もたくさんいました！また、沖縄に旅行する際は必ず利用したいと思いました。
無料でシャワーも完備していて、シャンプー等も置いてあるのでとても助かりました！

We went as a group of four and sat at a tatami mat table where we had to take off our shoes. Everyone chose cola to drink, and we were served chilled bottled cola! We also got to interact a lot with the owls, which was fun ^_^

The tatami seating felt a bit cramped, but it had a cozy atmosphere, so it was nice to relax there!

4人で行って、靴を脱ぐ畳席でした。
飲み物はみんなコーラを選び、冷えた瓶コーラが出てきました！
フクロウとのふれあいもたくさんでき、楽しかったです^_^

畳席は少し狭い感じがしましたが、
アットホームな感じでくつろげたので良かったです！

It was an unexpectedly hot day for Sapporo. I felt like I escaped to the observation deck. During dusk, I enjoyed a glass of Furano wine while gazing at the surroundings. If you change the timing, you can also enjoy the night view. If you have a little time, I recommend checking it out.

札幌とは思えない暑い日でした。展望室へ逃げ込んだ感じです。夕暮時でぼんやりと富良野ワインを頂きながら四方を眺めていました。時間を変えると夜景も楽しめます。ちょっと時間ができたら足をはこんでみてください。

This pass was not good value for us. We didn’t realise how little of Kyoto it covered (subways are run by a different company) and it not being able to use it in limited express trains, was inconvenient. Would have been cheaper to just use our Icoca cards and pay for each leg.

Very friendly and helpful tour guide!

An efficient and good way to see the Tokyo highlights.

We've enjoyed hop-on hop-off busses in other cities and decided to give it a try in Tokyo. There are two loops so we decided to do the longer loop (90m) and cone back the next morning for the shorter loop (60m). Your pass is good for 24 hours which is very nice. The bus we were on was not a double decker, but it has a see through roof. Unfortunately it is weathered and dull so you can see ok but it is not good for taking photos. You are given headphones and you plug into a soundtrack that narrates the trip. There are several languages to choose from. This is efficient but not very interesting. The narration directed us to look at things that were not always in our direct line of site, but rather tucked behind other buildings. We really just wanted to go for a ride and not hop off. If we'd gotten off we could see more so basically it is just a bus ride, not really a great tour. We opted not to come back the next day for the second loop.

I watched Kyogen for the first time and I really enjoyed it. The explanation about words derived from Kyogen, like "interesting" and "hitting the mark," was also great. It was the best!

狂言を初めて観ましたが、大変に気に入りました。面白い、ツボにはまるなど、狂言由来の言葉があることの解説も良かった。最高でした！

I enjoyed the scenery that I don't usually see while mingling with foreign tourists. I had fun getting off at various stops along the Blue and Red lines.

外国観光客に混ざりながら、日頃見られない景色を堪能しました。ブルー、レッドのコースを途中下車しながら楽しみました。

I can recommend the hop on/off bus. Gives a heap way to see the city and sites.

Not too high and not too low, the "JR Tower Observation Room" offers just the right height and location to get a panoramic view of Sapporo city. On a leisurely afternoon, there were few visitors, allowing for a relaxed experience. However, the staff at "T'CAFE" seemed busy and a bit unfriendly.

高からず低からず、「ＪＲタワー展望室」は札幌市内を一望するにはちょうど良い高さとロケーションです。
午後の昼下がり、来訪者も少なくゆったりとした時間を過ごせました。
でも「T'CAFE」の店員さんは忙しそうでチョッと愛想なしでした。

Great day, specially for kids... however too many people, which make difficult to enjoy the attractions.

We have enough experience with hop on hop off buses in many cities around the world and I believe that the info given during Tokyo tour could become more interesting if they talk about Japanese culture, tradition and the county it self instead of just taking when there is interesting city seen place !

The rest of the tour was music back ground

I hope the next time something could change

Regards

Best way to keep awake after trip from Europe and see as much as possible from Tokyo in short time

As promised the Hop-On Hop-Off bus made its’ way through the route, allowing us to get a sense of part of Tokyo. Unfortunately, the commentary was very stilted, and lacked history, and details. I usually enjoy getting an overview of a city on a Hop-On Hop-Off bus, but felt that we hit only a few highlights of Tokyo and the information received was less than satisfactory. The Hop-On Hop-Off offered a means to get to some places, but beyond that it was disappointing.

French language

The voice in French was recorded with an automatic and robotic voice like Google translate. It was totally unnatural.

Also, the story suddenly stopped when the bus was crossing a new building in order to explain the new building.

Please take care of non English languages guys!

It is value for money to trip in your rail loop. So comfortable and on time. Nice train and condition.

The owls were very cute. I recommend the "feeding experience." It costs an additional 500 yen, but it's worth it!! You can feed them directly or let them perch on your arm and pet them, which was super cute. Each owl has a different personality, like the attention-seeking "Azuki" and the very calm "Bob." I definitely encourage everyone to go and enjoy this healing experience! 😊

とても可愛いフクロウ達でした。
お勧めは「エサやり体験」。別途＠500円必要ですが
その価値あり！！
直接あげたり、腕に乗せて撫でたりって感じで、超可愛かったです。
フクロウそれぞれ性格が異なり、かまってちゃんの「あずきちゃん」や、とってもおとなしい「ぼぶさん」などなど。
是非皆さんも癒されに行ってください(^^)/

This pass is great for travel to kyoto and nara from nagoya.
We were a bit disappointed that it did not include reserved seats on express trains and we had to add money for that.

A very convenient and cheap option if want to see places of interest in kyoto, nara, osaka and the surrounding areas. Though it is a free seating, one can travel in comfort and most importantly, choose your own timing..

The Kintetsu staff were very helpful and even assisted to get a ramp for us at every station as we had a wheelchair.

The tour itself was an excellent way of seeing some landmarks in Tokyo if you are short of time. We highly recommend online booking before you turn up at one of stations. Although the sign at the station states you can purchase tickets on the bus, at the counter, and sales offices, and no reservations required, when we turned up at the Skytree Station on 15 April, the lady at the ticket booth insisted that the buses are full and there are no seats available. She told us even if we waited for the next buses, there were no guarantee there would be seats. I went outside, booked and paid for 2 same day tickets via Veltra, went back inside the ticket office, gave the lady my booking reference number, got my tickets straight away and got on the next bus. I didn't understand why she was adamant she couldn't sell us tickets and the buses were all full when we first went in. As we were leaving Tokyo the next day, we almost missed out on experiencing the bus tour if I had not tried getting the tickets via Veltra. To avoid same experience, we highly recommend booking via Veltra.

Staff was very friendly but the overall experience didn't compare with other open air bus trips in other major cities. The monotone English audio was minimal and mostly uninteresting. Lots of room for improvement there. Not many stops and gap time between stops is quite long. I agree with other reviewers- spend your money on a cab.

There are quite a few chairs available that can be used even if you are not utilizing the café. If it's not crowded, I think you can sit and relax comfortably. (There were also regulars reading while enjoying a beer.)

On the west side, you can see the mountains quite close, allowing you to feel the nature of Sapporo.

カフェを利用していなくても使えるイスが割と多めに用意されています。混んでいなければ座ってゆっくる過ごせると思います。（ビールを飲みながら読書している常連さんもおられました。）

西側は山が結構近くに見え、札幌の自然を感じられると思います。

I booked this activity for my first full day in Toyko. It was easy to find even though I wasn't used to navigating Tokyo yet and very close to the Harajuku Station. The experience was amazing. You could tell that the staff loves the owls and is very invested in their well being.

Perfect journey Nagoya - Uenoshi - Osaka + super Ninja Museum!
