All Reviews for Tickets

Having the ticket beforehand has been great. I think there were still available tickets onsite when we got there but the place was pretty packed by showtime so still good to plan beforehand.

If you plan to do the tea ceremony, there will be several batches as the room is small. Try to sit in the first row to experience the Maiko serving you your tea.

I was given a foldable chair to sit in while other had regular seats in the theatre. I understand that I was not the only one given such a seat but it indicated that the theatre oversold their tickets? And given that I purchased my ticket one month in advance, I don't see how it should come to that. Veltra, as the go between, you should really look into the matter, or at least drop the booking from your site – as it reflects badly on you to be listing activities that don't meet a certain standard for paying customers. The show was great though.

Performance was excellent but was treated like maximazing turnover - tea ceremony too fast and on a personal level having book most expensive options well in advance was disappointed to be on an end row -on an additional hard chair unlike the the more comfortable seats in the auditorium - so my 3 reflects the efforts of the artists not the management

Have been to Kyoto before but never saw a dance performance. It was fantastic and the seats were very good too. I really appreciated being able to get them from the US before the trip -- I expect they would have been sold out by the time we were in Kyoto, especially as we had 7 people attending. Thanks, Veltra!

I came here around 5ish in the evening - in Autumn, where it's already dark. The minute I got the lift - lo and behold! The view of the city from up here is amazing! It was hard to find the lift from the massive JR station and then the mall (Stellar Place) where you would need to get to the 6th floor then transfer to another lift that would lead you to the observatory. But once you get up here, it was all worth the effort! I was here on 31 October which was Haloween and the streets were full of kids- but it was so therapeutic here looking at the twinkling lights. I opted for the cake and drink package - as it was also my birthday and was delighted to know they had a special Haloween cake. The lights here were dimmed so you get a real good view of the city drenched in yellow lights. They also had a live classical performance that evening. Awesome!

Kintetsu Rail is nice, but too bad the pass doesn't cover the limited express. You have to spend A LOT of time on the train to reach the value of the pass. Using veltra and getting the e-voucher was convenient for me, but staff at Namba station REALLY struggled to figure out how to scan the QR code...it took about 30 minutes to redeem the pass...
I think this pass would be best if you are staying near Namba station and want to visit several places in Nara and Ise.

As most things in Tokyo and Japan in general, it was on time, clean and quite organised. Pick up point was not hard to find even coming from Ikebukuro. English definitely available as one of the languages on the head set. The stops and collection points were all properly, clearly identified. Really, it is the best way to see Tokyo! nothing beats it.

There were times when it was bustling with tourists, but after a while, they disappeared, and I was able to enjoy tea while quietly taking in the sights of Sapporo. At least during my visit, it was quite calm compared to the lively atmosphere around Sapporo Station. There were also small souvenir shops. I would love to come back.

観光客で賑わう時もあったけど、しばらくすると居なくなり、静かに札幌の街を見ながらお茶できました。
あくまで私が行った時ですが、札幌駅周辺の賑わいに比べたら、静かなものでした。小さな土産物店もありました。また来たいです。

나고야-오사카 노선을 이용하였는데 특급좌석을 지정하면 1900엔을 추가하여야 했다. 예전에는 3장의 좌석예약권을 주었다는데.. 혜택이 줄어서 아쉽지만..이 구간을 이용하는데 이만큼 저렴한 전철패스는 없을것이다.

I made a reservation based on information from the internet.
It's located just a short walk from Harajuku Station, in an easy-to-find place.
There are a total of 9 owls, and you have about 40 minutes of interaction time during the hour.
They vary in size and expression, but all are very gentle, and I enjoyed petting them and having them perch on my arm.
I was healed by their cute appearances, thank you!

ネットの情報を頼りに予約しました。
原宿駅から歩いてすぐ、わかりやすい場所にあります。
フクロウは全部で9羽、一時間のうち、40分くらい触れ合いの時間があります。
大きさも表情も様々ですが、みんなとても大人しく、頭を撫でたり、腕に乗せたりして楽しめました。
かわいい姿に癒されました、ありがとうございました！

A great and amazing experience of viewing the Tokyo of Japan with full horizon.

One can take a break in between stops to explore the Skytree, Tokyo tower, Shinjuk and other areas.

It was a good way seeing Tokyo. Enjoyed the hop on hop off experience in the beautiful city of Tokyo.

We reserved to meet with the owls ahead of time, which made things easier. The staff were very kind and are good with communicating in English. The owls were, of course, my favorite part! I got excited when we held them. Would come back to this particular owl cafe, when I come back to visit Tokyo.

I visited on a rainy day, but the night view was very beautiful. However, since rain adheres to the glass, please try to go on a clear day if possible. I ordered a cake set, and the rich cheese was impressive. The iced cappuccino is very delicious.

雨の日に行きましたが、夜景は非常にきれかったです。
ただし、ガラスに雨が付着するので、出来る限り晴れた日に行ってください。
ケーキセットをオーダーしましたが、濃厚なチーズが印象的でした。
アイスカプチーノは大変美味しいです。

I visited the observation deck of JR Tower on August 13. You can enjoy a 360-degree view of Sapporo's organized cityscape. The night view from the restroom at 160 meters above ground is also fantastic! The ticket I used, which included coffee and cake, was very reasonably priced at 1,000 yen.

8/13にJRタワーの展望台に行きました。札幌の整理された街並みが360度堪能できます。
地上160mのトイレからの夜景も最高ですよ！
利用したチケットは、コーヒー、ケーキ付きのもので1000円と、とてもお得な内容でした。

The buses all have a long waiting time, between 60 to 90 minutes for the next ride. They are on schedule which is nice but the ride also goes too fast. The audio will cut off halfway while explaining a monument or something of the sort and then will never complete. The audio also usually didn't sync with what was being seen/ passed by which was annoying.

Two of the routes are almost exactly the same, one with an additional four stops in Roppongi but you're really paying for two and a quarter lines, not three.

Seating is only on the top deck so if it's boiling hot or pouring rain, you're out of luck. I have taken hop on, hop off buses around the world but this has to be one of the worst. Would NOT recommend.

I took my two daughters, ages 12 and 13 to the owl cafe this afternoon. We had an excellent time.

When we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and seated at a traditional Japanese table with floor cushions. There were colouring materials and reading materials for our use.

We were served our choice of drinks that were included. They advised us of our entry time into the owl room, which was about 15 minutes after our arrival. This gave us time to drink tea, and familiarize ourselves with all of the owls that we could see through the glass walls of the owl room. Pictures on the wall helped us to match the owls to their names, and read about their species and other facts.

When our turn came, we were helped to disinfect our hands, then welcomed in to the owl room. Inside, the owl caretaker walked us through how to best touch and interact with each of the owls. We were encouraged to take pictures and assisted to set up our shots so they turned out well. We were helped to hold as many of the owls as we wished. We stayed inside the room until we felt that we were finished, then returned to our table to chat. We did not feel rushed at all. Before leaving, one of the staff gave us some beautiful fans with pictures of the owls on them.

It was a really fabulous experience! The owls were all friendly, as were the staff. I would highly recommend it, even for those who do not particularly like birds, like myself. I found it to be a very lovely and moving experience. Do try it!

It's mostly cloudy in Tokyo during the month of June. It was sunny and hot when we went on the bus ride. The whole experience was great except the sun shining excessively on us. Don't forget to apply sunscreen and bring something to keep you covered from the sun.

I visited Sapporo for the first time, and because the roads are straight, the car lights and streetlights shine straight, making it very beautiful.
I was disappointed that the corn cheesecake being sold upstairs was sold out.
I would like to visit during the daytime as well.

札幌は初めて行ったのですが、道がまっすぐに伸びているため、車のライトや街灯もまっすぐに光っていてとてもきれいでした。
上で販売しているとうきびチーズケーキが売り切れだったのは残念でした、、
昼間も行ってみたいです。

Great way to see Tokyo if you have limited time in the City. You can quickly see the must see places and return on your own via train. Price is reasonable. Audio tour guide only helped a little. Good bargain tour if you are in a hurry!

It's very convenient because it's right above Sapporo Station. Also, there are no tall buildings around, so you should have a good view. When I went, it was snowing and I could hardly see anything, so I want to try again next time.

札幌駅直上のため、とても便利です。また、周りに高いビルがないのでよく見渡せるはずです。自分が行ったときは雪でほとんど見えなかったので、次に機会にリベンジしたいと思ってます。

I have been on many throughout my travels and this would be the worst experience I have had. The driver was terrible! The bus lurched, braked suddenly and all the other actions you can imagine from the roughest ride ever. I had to actually leave the tour about half way through as my back was hurting so much. Due to the infrequency of the tours we were only able to do the blue route which was a shame as all you really saw was the Tokyo tower and the rest was just driving around this huge City.
Very disappointing. It was the only black mark of all our travels in Japan which we absolutely loved.

It was my first time to participate on a hop-on hop-off sightseeing tour. I used to kind of make fun of these "touristy" activities whenever I go on an out of the country trip. Surprisingly, I had fun with the tour! It was amusing to hear the guide talk non-stop. The bus left promptly so no time was wasted. As we drove along the expressway, I loved how the chilly air made my face numb (LOL). Also, pretty citylights view never gets old with me. Oh, and this sightseeing tour made me realize my new fascination -- buildings! Tokyo has one of the most interesting buildings I've seen so far.

Indeed, the experience was great for a person new to the city! The view from the top of the bus is incomparable to that from inside a taxi or car. But, since it's open, the cold wind somewhat gave us chills, perhaps it's nice if they could provide blankets or whatever :) English audio guide is ok, I guess... not really into the history and stories of each place, just took pictures of everything! Instagram worthy! :)

It was the first ever tour I went on... ever! It's a great way to see the city especially for me, a first time traveler. We took the Odaiba Course and we passed through the Rainbow Bridge.

We also took photos of the Tokyo Tower while it was illuminated by 276 (as per the audio guide! Ha!). We were very fortunate that the stop light turned red at a good spot and for an enough amount of time to take nice IG photos from the open-top bus.

The Audio Guide was very helpful and the perky guide was very nice! I would totally recommend taking this tour. I will definitely do it again when I get the chance!

Nice intro to the city, all for a very reasonable price. Seats were comfy and the sights were a delight. Barely used the audio guide, though.

The tour is perfect for first-time Tokyo visitors. The bus took us around the must-see sights such as the Tokyo Tower, Rainbow Bridge, Odaiba Marine Park, Tokyo's version of the Statue of Liberty and the Kabuki-za Theater (I can't remember the rest!). There was an audio guide that translated the commentaries, which was helpful, but after a while I took it off and just kind of figured it out. We went for the night tour in May and it was still pretty chilly, so be sure to bring a jacket!

Good price/quality, although the audio can be a bit funny at times (some of the descriptions had us in fits, because they were unintentionally hilarious). Tokyo Tower's lights came on right as we passed by, which was really pretty

It was nice seeing some of the highlights of Tokyo in a quick time. The audio guide had pretty strange facts that I didn't know about Tokyo too. But after a while, I just decided to ignore the audio and just enjoy the view.
Even in May after the sun went down it was rather cold!

The tour was really nice and I got to see a lot of Tokyo that I might not have gone to otherwise. I was able to do all three route in one day, but that was with only getting off at two stops for an hour each. So you might only be able to do two of the routes if you want to get off at more places. I did notice a slight problem with the recorded tour cutting off and skipping to the next section if we were going to fast, but it didn't happen too often. Would definitely recommend if you want a quick overview of the area to see where it is you want to explore more later.
