All Reviews for Tickets

I had heard that the night view was wonderful, so on a relatively warm night, I went up to the observation deck. There weren't too many people, so I was able to take my time enjoying the view. The night weather was decent, allowing for a good view far into the distance. Indeed, no matter which direction I looked—east, west, south, or north—stunning night views greeted my eyes. If the weather is bad, I think visibility would likely be poor, so I would recommend choosing a clear day for the best experience.

夜景が素晴らしいと聞いていたので、比較的暖かい夜、展望室に上がった。人は、あまり多い日では無かったので、ゆっくりと眺めることが出来た。夜の天気もまずまずで、遠くまでの眺望がきいた。たしかに東西南北、どの方角を眺めても、素晴らしい夜景が目に飛び込んできた。もし、天気が悪いと、恐らく見通しは効かないだろうと思うので、好天の日を選んでの観賞をお勧めしたい。

Me and my husband purchased the Tokyo Sky Bus Tickets through Veltra's website and scheduled the tour for the next day. We received the voucher through e-mail and it was really easy to get our tickets the next day! Their office is really close to the Tokyo Station and the bus take off from there. We did the 3 routes on the same day and they were all really nice. On the blue route, we stopped at Asakusa temple ! They have a lot of little shops and food tends there... all of the typical things! On green route, we headed to the fish market, we had incredible sushi there and the quality of the food was great and of course really fresh! For our last route, (the purple one) we stopped on Roppongi hills and it was really pleasant to finish our day there and have some dinner. They have really nice stores and all kind of restaurants, cafes, etc. We had dinner at this Italian place called Il Ritrovo and the pizza, pasta and price there were great! You can get the Restaurants map at the entrance of the mall and there you can check all the options and price rates, it was great!
Our only complain it was the audio on the green bus that was not working and we couldn't hear the route.
Overall we had a really nice day!

Coming all the way from Australia, and being our first time in Tokyo. My friend and I thought the hop on hop off bus tour was a great way to see the whole of Tokyo in one day.

We came out under the Skytree tower was a great start to our tour of Tokyo, the staff were very helpful in showing where the Hop on Hop off bus office was. It was very easy to find and we got some great snaps of the Skytree tower as we walked to the office. We were pleased that the buses were frequent so we only waited a few minutes until the next bus arrived.

The English audio was fantastic and helped us learn alot about Tokyo and its history. What I liked most about this tour was that all three routes linked up at one stop and at the stop was a Starbucks which we purchased a coffee while we waited for the next bus route. Longest we waited was 20 minutes but was a good break from sight seeing.

Over all I thought this was a great way to see Tokyo in one day, the staff were friendly, a lot to see, the English audio was knowledgable and my friend and I had a great time seeing Tokyo this way. I would recommend this tour to anyone. Thanks :)

The bus was centrally located but not easy to find once you come out of Tokyo Station and if you speak no Japanese. The stuff onboard speaks very little to no English, so it is hard to communicate with them. The guide stuff is not very professional and even rude sometimes. There are no trash cans anywhere on the bus and the guide named Ms.Itsukoshi was laughing at us for bringing an empty coffee cup onboard, rather than find a way to dispose of it... There is absolutely no eating on the bus! Ms.Itsukoshi threw a big scene when my mother who is an elderly person ate a banana onboard simply because we were touring non-stop and there was not enough time between the routes to get food. It was raining cats and dogs that day. The stuff demanded a ticket outside before you get onboard rather than allowing you to come inside out of the rain's way and look for it in the dry. They also have known us. It was the same guides over and over. The stuff refused to give us a raincoat (we asked 2 people!) for walking around, because they covered up the bus. But they did give them to other people before when it just started to rain. The commentary never coincided with the location of the bus. You never knew which" red or white" building it was. The bus was always ontime, which was positive and was not even thrown off balance by bad weather. The stuff closed the roof when it started to rain, which is positive. I have been on many hop on, hop off tours before, this was probably the worst one. I have not seen the stuff so unresponsive and unhelpful to the tourists' needs like I have seen in Tokyo.

The vastness of Tokyo's Yamanote Line and its grid-like city layout were created with advice from Clark. The purpose was to urgently call people from Massachusetts, USA, who had experience in development, to prevent the invasion by Russia, which was aggressively expanding its territory. At that time, Hakodate existed, but there was a need to build a larger city further north to assert that Hokkaido was Japanese territory. This was Sapporo and the garrison soldiers, as explained by the clock tower guide. In a way, one could say that this outcome has protected present-day Japan! Unfortunately, during World War II, the Northern Territories were invaded, but can we not say that Russia's ambitions continue even now? Hokkaido offers great natural beauty wherever you go, with abundant seafood and land-based delicacies that provide ample healing. With vast plains, mountains, and the sea, it is a tourist destination where everyone can enjoy various activities. I have visited many times and never get bored. The sea urchin from Rishiri, cruising around the Shiretoko Peninsula, hot springs near Lake Akan, the Sapporo Snow Festival, and the aurora show that I can't quite remember, the vast plains of Nakashibetsu, and the natural beauty of the peninsula formed by ocean currents at Notsuke Peninsula Nature Land, the aesthetic of the town utilizing brick warehouses in Hakodate and Otaru, experiencing the northern animals at Asahikawa Zoo, and cruising through the drift ice of the Sea of Okhotsk, among many others. The food includes hairy crabs, king crabs, herring, hokke, scallops, sea cucumbers, and sea urchins, allowing for a full taste of seafood. Each of the four seasons offers its own enjoyment. In spring, the period around the equinox is a time when you can feel the power of nature. Driving through the Kushiro Wetlands or taking a special train is also moving. Ice fishing for smelt on Lake Akan in winter will surely be a special experience!

東京の山手線を飲み込む広さと碁盤の目の街は、クラークからアドバイスを貰って作られた。その目的は領地拡大を強力に進めていたロシアの侵略を阻止する為に、明治政府が慌てて開拓経験のあるアメリカ・マサチューセッツ州から人を呼び、広大な原野の開拓と兵力増強と訓練をした。その当時函館があつたが、更に北に大きな街を造り、北海道は日本領土だと主張出来る必要があつた。それが札幌と屯田兵だと時計台の説明員が教えてくれた。ある意味でこの結果が今の日本を守ったとも言えるのでしょう！残念ながら第2次世界戦争で北方領土に乗り込まれたですが、ロシアの思いは今も続いているとも言えないでしょうか！北海道には何処に行っても大自然があり、海の幸、陸の幸が存分にあり、存分に癒やされます。大平原があり、山があり、そして海があるので、色んな楽しみ方が出来る、それぞれの人が楽しめる観光地です。何度も来ていますが飽きさせない所です。利尻のウニ、知床半島のクルージング、阿寒湖近くの温泉、札幌の雪まつり、何処か思いださないがオーロラショー、中標津の太平原、その先の野付半島のネイチャーランドでの海流で出来た半島の自然美、函館や小樽でのレンガ倉庫を利用した町の美感、旭川の動物園で体験する北海の動物達、オホーツク海の流氷クルージング等々。食も毛ガニ、タラバ、にしん、ホッケ、ホタテ貝、ホヤ貝、そしてウニと海の幸が存分に味わえる。季節も4シーズンそれぞれに楽しめます。春なら連体前後が春の目がふく畤期で自然の力を感じられます。釧路の湿原を味わうドライブや特別列車も感動します。冬の阿寒湖の氷上でのワカサギ釣りも特別な体験になるでしょう！

I rode all three routes and was able to enjoy the scenery of Tokyo at a leisurely pace, which was very relaxing. Until now, I often traveled by subway, but the view from the second floor of the double-decker bus was excellent, and familiar places looked different from up there.

However, since it was during the Silver Week holiday, it was quite crowded. Although you can get on and off freely, there were times when it was full and I couldn't board, and there were also delays due to traffic, which took quite a bit of time. It might not be suitable for those in a hurry, but my husband and I were very satisfied with the experience.

3ルート全てに乗りましたが、ゆっくりと東京の風景を楽しむことができ、のんびりすることができました。今までは地下鉄で移動することが多かったのですが、2階建の高い所からの眺めはとてもよく、知っている場所も、違ったように見えました。
ただシルバーウィーク期間中だったので、かなり混んでいました。乗り降り自由ですが、乗りたくても満員で乗れないこともあったり、渋滞でかなり時間がかかったりということもありました。時間がない人には不向きかもしれませんが、私たち夫婦は満足できる内容でした。

Enjoyed our trip but I would recommend a two day to really see the sights. We did all three routes in one day, but only stopped at two places in order to complete all three routes. The downside is if you get off the bus, you have to wait for the next bus which maybe an 1 1/2 to 2 hours. They are very punctual in accordance with their schedule. Dress appropriate for the weather as it got really cold in the evening. I'm not sure if they have other closed busses, but ours only had a top deck and considering it was January it was very cold. Also, you can only pickup the tickets at two locations, The company may want to consider having people conductors redeem tickets at all stops for the convenience of the customer. The headsets were usually in line with the sights but sometimes would seem off for the things you were viewing. We have taken various hop on hop off bus tours in cities around the world, generally we find it a great way to get and overview of the city and we generally go back to our favorite spots, time permitting. Overall, we really enjoyed the tour and would definitely recommend it if you are short on time in the city.

This is a great way to see Tokyo, the open top makes it better than a traditional bus, we had great fun riding around the whole route, picking where we would get off next time around. The girls on the bus were very helpful and the commentary interesting. Highly recommend this.

I went to the observation platform located at the 38th floor of the JR Tower connected to Sapporo Station as I had time till dinner. Even though it was only twilight, I was fascinated by the beauty of the night view, which was like scattered diamonds across a night sky..
I thought this observation platform was for people to see the night view beautifully with the lights down. I also think I would recommend this place for those who want to spend some time alone as there was a single chair seat by the window. Of course, this is absolutely for couples, friends and family looking for a night view as well.
In October, the night view of Sapporo was recognized to be one of 3 new beautiful night views in Japan, and thanks to the Christmas illumination in December, it is even more beautiful than usual.
The restrooms have large glass windows from which you can see the night view. It is a rare experience.
It's not just a night view, come during the day and see the landscape and city of Sapporo in a huge panaroma.
I recommend visiting the JR Tower Observatory.

It's the first time we did the hop on- hop off bus tour itinerary in Japan and it was truly a wonderful experience. All members of the family got so excited. The bus was on time in each pick-up station and the bus assistant/receptionist was very friendly and courteous. Though it was freezing cold to stay up the deck, we enjoyed the picture-perfect sight seeing in major tourist destinations in Tokyo. The visit to the shrine in Asakusa was enriching. The sight of the beautiful Tokyo Tower was Lovely and magical. Passing through the colorful Rainbow Bridge on a very cold winter breeze at night time was awesome as we trudged our way to Aqua City at Odaiba on time for the fireworks show across the horizon. What a truly wonderful, exciting and unforgettable experience we had!

The service from the staff in Tokyo were very helpful and kind.
The schedule of the bus was very punctual. We used the 3 routes available to tour the city. My wife and I enjoyed very much the ride in the bus since we we have the chance to sight very important places in Tokyo. We went to the Tokyo Tower, the Sytree, the Senso-Ji temple, Asakasa area as well as Ropongi Hills, Akihabara, Odaiba Island, among other excited places.
The guide of the bus was very helpful and always were ready to help us. I will not hesitate at all to book with Veltra for another Bus tours.
Although the weather was chilly we enjoyed the tour vey much!

I highly recommend this Tokyo Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Package. The three route it offers provided most of the scenic attractions such as the Tokyo Skytree, Senso-ji temple in Asakusa, Tokyo Tower, Odaiba, Akihabara, Roppongi, Ginza, Ueno Zoo and many more. The staff are very friendly and the buses almost always arrive in time. You need to plan your drop off point to maximize the tour. They have audio in English which helps to describe important landmark. What is nice about the package is they provide 24 hours window to use your voucher. This means that if you started 12:00 pm your voucher is good until 12:00 pm the next day. The scenery provided by this package cannot be seen on ordinary buses or trains. The highlight is when we were traversing the rainbow bridge on the open top during the night on the way to Odaiba while we were shivering but the view was amazing.

We were being told it is a must ride when we visited Tokyo. I could not agree more. For as little as 20+ dollars, we were able to take the bus to tour around the major tourist spots in Tokyo. That amount is relatively cheap when compared to the high transportation cost in the city. Before the tour, we were being told it is impossible to sit through all 3 routes unless we do not hop off the bus throughout the whole journey. Hence, we made some careful planning and took the Odaiba and Tokyo town routes. We did not go to Asakusa because we already went there the day before. The Odaiba route is particularly enjoyable because we were able to tour around the rainbow bridge and look at the beautiful skyline and the magnificient sea view.

Tokyo hop-on hop-off bus is essential to explore the metropolitan city. You can hop on and hop off the bus from various spots and routes. During the tour, you will be given an earphone and you can listen to a guided tour translated in different languages, such as chinese, english, korean and japanese. We were not supposed to stand up and move around during the tour though. The staff somewhat appeared to be a little angry when we did. We thought it is a little bit stringent on the rules but on a hindsight they were peculiarly serious about the safety and well being of the foreign tourists. All in all, we enjoyed ourselves very much during the tour. It was a little too sunny for our liking on that day. But, it is bearable with the cool breeze blowing during the winter time.

The service of the staff in Tokyo were very helpful. We used the Bus-On_Hop-Off the day 25th of December, 2015. We also used 2 of the 3 routes available. We rode through the places like Akihabara, Ropongi Hills, Ueno, Tokyo Tower, and the Skytree, among others.

We were very forutnately to have one of the stop of the bus in the hotel we stayed (the New Otani Garden Tower Hotel). For that matter it was also vey convenious.

It was great experience we will do it again.

The time was a little chilly for that time of the year, but is was worthwhile the experience of using this service.

In general we were glad we used the bus tour.

The Hop-on Hop-off bus tickets would bring you to many of the prominent tourist places. It is a great way to explore the city and very convenient for you to drop off at your desired spots for touring. With 1-day pass, it is quite impossible to take all 3 routes unless you intend to just sit on the bus without dropping off at the numerous tourist spots. Hence, you would need careful planning of the route. I first took the bus at Tokyo Station for the Odaiba course, dropping off at Venus Port (since I did not manage to go there when I went to Aqua City and Diver City the previous day) before taking the bus again one hour later back to Tokyo Station. After that, I took the bus again to go to Roppongi Hills. It depends on which place you want to go and with careful planning you will be enjoying the bus tour very much.

JR Tower is directly connected to Sapporo Station. I visited at 4 PM (on December 20), so it was transitioning from day to evening, and the neon lights were just starting to illuminate. The sight of the tail lights of passing cars and the lights of the buildings beautifully enhanced the scenery. The weather was great, and it offered a wonderful panoramic view of Sapporo City, including the Okurayama Jump Stadium, Hokkaido University, and Sapporo Dome. The observation room is extremely spacious, with each direction being over 20 meters wide. There is also a lovely café where many people were enjoying tea while taking in the view. Since it is open late into the night, couples can enjoy a more romantic atmosphere. The staff were friendly and welcoming. It may already be established as a new landmark in Sapporo, but if you have a spare 30 to 40 minutes while waiting for a train, I highly recommend visiting. I definitely plan to return next time (preferably at night).

JRタワーは、札幌駅に直結しています。午後４時（１２月２０日）に行きましたので、昼間から夕刻に差し掛かり、ネオンが少し点灯し始めの頃合です。行き交う車のテールランプやビルの明かりが何とも美しさを増してゆく様は心に滲みてきます。天気も良く、大倉山ジャンプ競技場や北海道大学、札幌ドームを始め、札幌市を隈無く一望できる素晴らしい展望空間でした。展望室は極めて広く、四方向がそれぞれ２０メートル以上はあるのではないでしょうか。立派なカフェもあり、お茶しながら多くの人が見入っていました。夜遅くまでオープンしているので、カップルさんたちは、よりロマンチックな雰囲気を満喫できることでしょう。スタッフの方々の対応もフレンドリーで好感が持てました。札幌の（新？）名所として既に定着しているのかも知れませんが、電車待ちなど、余裕が３０～４０分程度ある場合には、ぜひ訪問してはいかがでしょうか。私は、次回（できれば夜間）も是非とも訪問するつもりです。

The buses condition is great and clean. The tour is precise in timing however the schedule is not that frequent (one hour plus). This is open top seating bus only and it gets pretty cold during the winter when the bus moves quickly. The coverage of the tour is great however the initial boarding/getting the pass is only in couple places, cant be done on every stop. The tour guides are nice and helpful, it is no hassle on bringing infant and stroller. The pass is Valid for 24 hours from the initial pass exchange, So you can continue using it the next day when you start late on the day. The tour is running until pretty late too. Good price for money. Recommended.

This was my second time using the service. During my first visit, I used it for sightseeing on a single route, and it was quite fulfilling as I was able to efficiently visit various attractions.

This time, my purpose was shopping at multiple shopping malls, so I used the Odaiba course again to shop in Odaiba and Toyosu. The bus stops right in front of the shopping malls, making it very convenient for shopping!

A significant difference from my last experience was that we crossed the Rainbow Bridge on the highway, which offered great views, and although the wind was a bit chilly, it felt nice.

The bus users were mostly foreigners and Japanese people who seemed to be from other regions. Most of the users appeared to enjoy taking photos and engaging in lively conversations as we passed by tourist spots.

In the future, when local friends or family come to Tokyo, I will use this service again. I would also like to try the Asakusa and Skytree route, as well as the Roppongi route.

今回の利用は2回目で、前回利用した時は1ルートだけ観光目的で利用しました。その際は観光名所を効率良くまわれて、かなり充実しました。

今回は複数のショッピングモールで買い物が目的だったため、前回と同様にお台場コースを利用してお台場と豊洲で買い物をしました。このバスはショッピングモールの前にバス停があるため買い物にもとても便利です！

前回と大きく違ったのは、レインボーブリッジを高速道路で通ったため、景色が良かったのと、少し風が冷たかったですが、気持ち良かったです。

バスの利用者は、外国の方が大半と地方から来たと思われる日本人の方が利用されていました。
利用者のほとんどが、観光名所を通ると楽しそうに写真撮影したり、会話がかなり盛り上げっていました。

今後、地元の友人や家族が東京に来た際は、また利用します。
その際は、浅草やスカイツリールートや六本木ルートも回ってみたいと思います。

I had some time before dinner, so I decided to visit the observation deck on the 38th floor of the JR Tower, which is directly connected to Sapporo Station. The atmosphere was dimly lit yet exuded a sense of luxury, and I was captivated by the beauty of the night view, which looked like jewels scattered in every direction.

The JR Tower observation deck has thoughtfully dimmed the lights to enhance the beauty of the night view, and there are single chairs by the windows, making it a recommended spot for those who want to spend some time alone. Of course, enjoying the night view with a partner, friends, or family is a must-see experience.

Sapporo's night view was recognized as one of Japan's three new great night views this October, and in December, the Christmas illuminations make the night view even more stunning. Additionally, the restrooms are located by glass windows, providing a unique experience of looking down at the night view.

Not only can you enjoy the night view, but you can also use the observation deck during the day to see the magnificent panorama and get a sense of the layout and scenery of Sapporo. The JR Tower observation deck is definitely a recommended place to visit.

夕食までに時間があったので札幌駅から直結のJRタワー３８階にある展望室に行ってみました。
薄暗いけど高級感あふれる雰囲気の中で四方に広がる宝石を散りばめたような夜景の美しさにしばし見とれてしまいました。
このJRタワー展望室は夜景をより美しく見ることができるよう照明を落とす配慮がされていて、また窓の側にひとりがけの椅子が置いてあるのでひとりの時を過ごしたい時のオススメの墓所だなあと思いました。もちろんカップルで、友達と、家族との夜景鑑賞は必見です。
今年１０月に新日本三大夜景として認定された札幌の夜景ですが１２月はクリスマスイルミネーションにより更に美しい夜景を見ることができます。
またトイレもガラス窓側にありここから夜景を見下ろすのもなかなかできない経験ですよ。
夜景だけでなく昼間の展望室を利用し雄大なパノラマを見て位置関係や札幌の街の様子を知ることができます。
JRタワー展望室はオススメの場所ですよ。

We really enjoy the Hop On Hop Off bus tour of Toyko. The best part was the checkin. It was easy and the attendant gave us the tickets within 2 minutes. While on the bus, the best part is the top deck. We had great weather 2 weeks ago so this was an extra plus. The top deck also lets you take great pictures so we were excited being on top. We were given earphones which we had forgotten so this was just incredible service. The stops are great. They were easy to find and maps were easy to read. The schedules were also easy to read and we were able to plan accordingly. All in all, we had a great time, used the bus to see everything, and also get around town conveniently.

I am very experienced with hop-on, hop-off tours, having taken them in North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

The English language recording broke after the first stop. I don't think we missed much, as the recording mostly just explained some facts about the highway when it was working.

The Ueno and Akihabara stops are inconveniently located as they drop you several blocks from the main attractions (this might be true for all tour buses stopping at these locations).

There are three separate bus tour routes and they really should be combined into 1-2 routes. The buses go four to five stops on a given line, then the bus doubles back.

We recently had the chance to stop by in Tokyo on our recent trip to Asia.We were really tight on schedule provided we had 21 hours layover.But then we were suggested by our Hilton Tokyo concierge to take advantage of this fantastic skybus hop on and hop off service.

There are 3 courses you can opt for all in one ticket for nearly 22 USD/person which gives you excellent value for money as taxi travel in Tokyo is VERY expensive and it is very very organised and operates in very timely fashion along with very detailed history of all the important buildings and monuments we passed by.
We took all three courses starting with Odaiba course and followed by Roppongi-Tokyo course.You can hop on and hop off as many times as you like.One of the best thing is you can hop on to next course bus at same Marunouchi Mitsubishi building so as soon as you end up with one course, you can hop on to next course bus within 10~15 mins and it gives you just enough time to use restrooms and buy something from the shops close by.The buses were WIFI equipped, neat and clean with comfortable seating.We travelled with a toddler and we had enough legroom to give him some space to flex his muscles :).Most importantly, the buses have glass roof so if you can look through them or take pictures if you aren't able to see through windows.

If you are taking train to reach Mitsubishi building, drop off at Tokyo station and you are just 2~3 minutes walk away.You can also grab a bite from Manhattan grill which is pretty close to Mitsubishi building.Without skybus tours we would not have been able to see so much of Tokyo in short span of time.

We are Canadians from Toronto and first time visitors to Japan. We had a total 1 week's time to visit 3 cities - Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto. We had planned to spend 3 days in Tokyo and wanted to cover the most tourist places. Japan has a very advanced and amazing railway system, especially in Tokyo with multiple local train lines meshing the city providing excellent connectivity. We decided to take a day pass on JR Rail and see the important places ourselves. We took 1-day pass and could see only 2-3 places and were tired by end of the day due to long walks. Then we found out on the net about Tokyo Hop-On Hop-off bus for 1 or 2 days. We took 1 day pass on the Hop-On Hop-off bus and were pleasantly surprised that we could cover most major visiting spots within a day. With guided tour and convenience of hop-on hop-off it was a lot more relaxing as there was minimum walking. There was flexibility to get on to the next bus at scheduled time plus we were able to see most of Tokyo by taking all 3 Hop-On Hop-off bus lines. Staff was very courteous and helpful. It was raining for some part of the day and we were provided raincoats. We enjoyed the Hop-On Hop-off bus and we will recommend other friends to take this tour for quick tour of Tokyo.

I strongly recommend using Hop-On Hop-Off buses as it is really a great deal. We have seen several places in Tokyo beforehand. However, by using these special buses we have a general sense of view of the Tokyo. My suggestion to the tourists is to have a plan to use the 2 days trip. By paying a quite reasonable price than 1 day you are able to have a trip over the whole thee lines including Green, Purple and also Blue. Be aware the buses for all three routes are red and you should ask the staff which one is which otherwise you need to wait for at least 1 hour for the next bus. you should take the time table and try to choose the lines in a way that you are able to minimum the waiting time in between. On the first day you can sit on the bust and having a look around if there is any places you would like to stop by you should make a note for yourself including which line it is and what station it is then on the next day you can just stop on the favorite places you have chosen. As a last point you are better off getting off the Tokyo station as it is pretty close to the Mitsubishi station compare to the other stations. Hope you all enjoy the trip!

I wanted to be sure to see a geisha performance while I was in Kyoto, and I was lucky that this one was on while I was in town. It was perfect. There were 6 different short dances. The costumes were beautiful, there was live singing, the location was very convenient, and the venue was good. The tea ceremony was like the "fast food" version, as they needed to get everybody in and out quickly to accommodate an entire theater full of people in the 1 hour before the show. But it was fine. No need to get there an hour early. 15 minutes is probably enough, and you'll still have time for your "fast food" tea ceremony. And they give you the plate as a souvenir. No photography is allowed, so I can't post any pictures.

This was mostly a good experience. But there were some areas that needed improvement.

The audio was always "off." The announcements of the audio typically came after we had passed a location -- the audio was late or the driver was fast. In the beginning there was no info on the first 10 minutes of the trip at all. The ear plugs need to be up-graded. The style you have is very uncomfortable for some people, including me. Finally, the audio box for one of us (we were two travelers) was not working -- the volume could not go sufficiently high to hear.

There was an issue with whether the bus was stopping or not at the marked locations. For example, we would have wanted to get off at Asakusa to visit the market and the temple, but the bus did not stop there at all. The brochure indicated that the bus should have stopped there. But there was no announcement or offer to stop, and the bus did not stop. That was very disappointing to us.

We hope this info is useful and we appreciate the two-for-one offer in exchange for us providing this review. Please process the credit at your earliest convenience. Also, the ponchos were great and the woman at the Mitsubishi box office was super helpful.

Great 24 hour deal, routes are timed nicely so you can finish on, and join the next, good spread of sites and activities, staff very friendly and knowledgeable, buses in nice condition.

Good thing is that you get 24 hours from the time of your purchase / arrival to get your ticket, so if you show up at 2pm (like I did, because you had activities the night before that prevented an early start) then your 24 hours starts at 2pm and ends at 2pm the following day, nice idea :)

I would recommend the saving the bridge route until the evening (or just go through it again in the evening) as the lights on the bridges at night are awesome and well worth seeing!

With about an hour to spare before the return flight, we were wondering what to do. Since we couldn't go too far and traveling by bus or train would be unpredictable, we decided that the JR Tower in front of the station would be a good option.

Perhaps because it was a weekday, there were few people, and the entrance had a sophisticated adult atmosphere. As we took the elevator up to the observation deck, it felt like a hotel bar lounge. Before us stretched a vast landscape, with a straight road running through it, and mountains in the distance.

As the sun began to set, the land sparkled like stars. Soft, soothing music called "Planet Scale" (which I learned about for the first time) played in the background, creating a relaxing space.

There’s also a café where you can enjoy coffee and unwind. The café offers light snacks like cakes, and I saw couples and friends chatting by the window with the stunning view, as well as individuals reading alone. It’s truly a perfect spot for relaxation and dates.

Since the JR Tower is located right in front of Sapporo Station, it’s easily accessible, making it a great way to effectively use any spare time. I believe it’s the perfect place to wrap up your schedule while reminiscing about your travel memories.

　帰りの飛行機までの時間、1時間程空いているので何をしようかということになりあまり遠くにも行けないし、バスや電車で移動すると時間が読めないし。それなら駅前JRタワーがいいんじゃないかということで、行ってみることに。
　平日のせいもあるかもしれませんが、人も少なく入り口も洗練された大人の雰囲気。エレベーターで展望室に昇ると、そこはまるでホテルのバーラウンジのよう。目の前には平らな大地が広がり、一直線に続く道筋が走る雄大な光景。遠くには山々がつならなります。
やがて日が落ちるにつれて、大地は星のような輝きを見せるのです。
　バッグには惑星音階という(初めて知りましたが)フィーリングミュージックがながれ、癒しの空間を醸し出しています。　
カフェもあるので、珈琲を飲みながらゆったりと寛ぐこともできます。カフェにはケーキ等のちょっとした軽食もあり、絶景が広がる窓際で恋人や友人どおし会話をいそしんだり又ひとりで読書する人も見られました。まさに大人の癒しスポット、デートスポットにぴったりです。
　JR タワーは札幌の駅前にあるのでアクセスも良く、ちょっと余った時間を有効に使えひじょうに良いです。
　旅の思い出を語りながら、最後のスケジュールを締めくくるのに最高の場所だと思います。
