Since there is no time restriction, it is helpful during travel. The cake set is included, so I was satisfied to enjoy some tea as well.

時間の指定がないので、旅行の際には助かります。　ケーキセットもついているのでお茶もでき満足しでした。

we enjoyed our sightseeing, cllimate was just right as we cross the rainbow bridge. we discovered so many things about Japan's diff locations, very informative and helpful to in selecting places we want to explore on our limited time in Tokyo. we were glad that we book hop on hop off.

I was able to leisurely take in the view of Sapporo city. Since it's on the 38th floor, the height isn't too extreme, but the access from the station building and restaurant floor makes it easy to enjoy the night view after dinner. As a woman, I was disappointed that I couldn't see the men's restroom (laughs), but my husband was impressed by the openness.

札幌市内をまったり一望できました。38階なのでそれ程高度はありませんが、駅ビル内・レストラン階からのアクセスなので夕食後にちょっと夜景でも、と気軽に楽しめます。
当方女性なので男子トイレを見れなかったのが残念ですが(笑)開放感に旦那は感動してました。

I was recommended through a VELTRA banner, and I became interested, so I decided to give it a try. Since kyogen is something quite distant for me, I was very nervous, but it turned out to be very casual. There were many fun performances suitable for beginners, and it included a drink, making for a very enjoyable experience.

VELTRAのバナーでレコメンドされ、興味が湧いて言ってみることにしました。
狂言といえばなかなか縁遠いものなのでとても緊張しましたがとてもカジュアル。初心者向けの楽しい演出が多く、ワンドリンクもついていてとても楽しい体験ができました、

When coming in to any new place to visit, we look for bus tours such as this. The tour was informative and gave us an idea of places we would want to return to and explore fully. The staff was friendly and helpful. I was worried about using a service such as Veltra but I had no problems whatsoever. We plan on doing the bus tour again when friends visit and using Veltra. Highly recommend!

After enjoying a relaxed time in the lounge, the kyogen performance was fun. It was my first time seeing the play "The Owl," and I was laughing throughout. I brought a friend who was also seeing it for the first time; at first, they were a bit nervous, but they were surprised by the atmosphere of the lounge and ultimately relaxed and enjoyed it. The photo time was also interesting and nice. After the performance, Mr. Okura was friendly and wonderful as he took pictures with fans.

ラウンジでゆるーく楽しんだ後の狂言、楽しかったです。今回の演目の梟ははじめてでしたが、随所、笑わせていただきました。
はじめてという友人を連れて行ったのですが、最初はおっかなびっくりでしたがラウンジの雰囲気を見て驚いてましたが最終的にはリラックスして楽しんでくれていました。写真タイムがあるのも面白くていいですね。舞台が終わった後に、ファンの方と写真を一緒に撮られている大藏さんも気さくな感じで素敵でした。

It was good and on time. Although it rained in the morning when we rode the open air bus.

The time between the buses is too long, 70 min. You can't make even two full routes in one day. If the time was 30 min, then it'll be possible.

I took the Tokyo Sky Bus during my first day in Tokyo and it was worth it! It gave me an overview of Tokyo and that's when I decided where I wanted to go for the rest of my stay.

What a great way to tour and navigate around the tourist spots of Tokyo. The open top makes for good views of the city and landscape. We took full advantage of the 1 day pass, hopping off at different points in the city. We started Friday afternoon until Saturday afternoon. Our favorite stop was Asakusa Kanakawado the closest stop to the Senso-ji Temple. We ended up there both days to see even more sites. The wait time between buses was enough to explore and hop back on. Three routes cover a vast area and you probably need more than a day pass. This is a great way to maximize your time in Toyko, you don’t have to figure out a complicated metro map or wonder when you get out of the metro station which direction your destination is in. The audio guide was informative and staff member was available to answer your questions. For those who like the double-decker bus experience, you won't be disappointed.

The ticket we bought was valid for 24 hours so we used it for 2 days. We started at 4 in the afternoon and continued on until the next day. The service was very efficient. I missed the bus in just a matter of 30 seconds as it drove right past me. I was not prepared to run after it. It was no big deal as I caught the next one since I was in no rush. I had a schedule with me so I was able to get a nice cup of coffee and shopped for a bit and made sure I was there at least 10 minutes before schedule! You need to plan your route and sight seeing carefully.

I went on 2 routes. The Tokyo Sky Tree and the Odaiba route. Both had their own charms. Would recommend the Odaiba route after sunset and the Sky tree route during the day. The Odaiba route was very scenic at night because of the rainbow bridge , Tokyo Tower and the skyline was just breath taking. Hopped off at the Tokyo Sky Tree the next day. Went up the tower for the amazing view. I was there pretty early I suppose hence the queue was not bad at all. The stop was pretty close by and if you could not find your way back to the bus stop, just ask people around you. Everyone was extremely helpful. Japanese would go out of their way to show you where the bus stop is. They would physically bring you there. You just tell them it’s the sky hop on hop off bus and they will bring you there.

If you are tight for time, and want to see as much of Tokyo as you can in that short period of time, this would be your best shot. I had a great time. My time in Tokyo was limited so I was glad I got on this tour bus.

The one we got on was an open top. Super punctual. The bus would be comfortable on a good day since there are no seats available downstairs. Therefore there’s limited space when it rains. Only 4 seats in the front row is covered while the rest is open hence the chances of getting those 4 seats? Very very very slim. And those who gets the seats in front would not hop off the bus. Our experience was 2 teenagers hogged all 4 front row seats to themselves.
Apart from the rain, it would have been a wonderful experience. You get to see so many interesting sites which we would not have seen by metro underground such as the Tokyo tower, the rainbow bridge, and the sky tree. This would have been the perfect tour on a lovely sunny weather. We sat towards the front of the bus… so we were sheltered from the strong winds, not the rain. I could not imagine sitting in the back in the wet, cold and with the freezing wind blowing. I glad we got shielded from the wind at least. However we saw some Japanese school kids at the back having an awesome time with the strong wind blowing in their faces, taking selfies, laughing and having so much fun.
The bus was not full perhaps because of the weather. We had 3 children under 5 in which we bought tickets for them too because if you do not, they would have to be seated on your lap. However if you have hyper active children… perhaps being on your lap could be a safer choice. Our kids enjoyed the ride and the view. When they are tired, they could just sleep comfortably leaning on you without falling over as the bus ride was very smooth! The driver was excellent. Even my daughter who is prone to motion sickness felt super.
Overall, it was a good experience. The commentary played correctly, at the correct venue and it was pretty informative. The adults appreciated the commentary while the kids enjoyed the view.

The JR Tower is located near Sapporo Station, and it's easy to find your way to the tower. However, I did get a bit lost trying to find the reception area inside the tower. I asked an employee at a nearby hotel for directions.

Inside the tower, there are restaurants and a decent number of customers. While I think there are many good places to eat in Sapporo, dining here might also be a nice option.

After checking in, I took the elevator to the observation deck, which had some interesting features. There was a map of Sapporo superimposed with Tokyo and New York on the wall. It was a bit hard to understand without an explanation, but I assume it was meant to show the size of Sapporo. I could somewhat grasp the scale, but having a description would have made it better.

Once I reached the top, the night view spread out before me, and it was very beautiful. I could see the grid-like layout of the city, reminiscent of Kyoto, which was impressive. There was also a small café on the observation deck.

The night view was truly lovely. It seems to be open late, so it might be a good idea to visit during a little free time.

JRタワーは札幌駅の近くにあり、タワー近くへは迷わず行けます。ただ、タワー内の受付場所に行くのには少々迷いました。近くのホテルの従業員のかたに教えていただきました。
タワー内にはレストランなどもあり、そこそこお客さんがいらっしゃいました。札幌市内に良いお店はたくさんあること思いますが、こちらで食べるのもよいかっもしれませんね。
受付をして展望台へ向かうエレベーターに乗りましたが、エレベーター内にも工夫がされていました。札幌市の地図と東京・ニューヨークを重ねたものが壁に貼られていました。説明文がなくわかりにくかったのですが、おそらく札幌市の大きさを示そうとされていたのかなと・・・。なんとなく大きさが伝わってきましたが、説明文があったほうがより良かったですね。
そして、実際に登ると、一面に夜景が広がっており、とても綺麗でした。京都に倣った碁盤の目の街並みが見え、圧巻でした。展望台の階にはちょっとしたカフェもありました。
夜景はとても素敵でした。遅くまで営業されてるようですし、ちょっとした隙間時間に訪れてもよいかもしれません。

The lack of a roof and the high position provided a great view. When we drove on the Metropolitan Expressway, it was thrilling and really raised my spirits. We stopped for a while where we could see the Tokyo Skytree straight ahead, so we were able to take some great photos. However, you need to dress warmly because it gets cold with the wind rushing by.

屋根が無く、高い位置なので、眺めはとても良かったです。
首都高速道路を走った時は、迫力があってテンションが上がりました。スカイツリーが正面に見える所で長めに止まったので、写真もバッチリ撮れました。
ただ、防寒はしっかりしていないと、風を切って走るので寒いです。

On the last day of my first trip to Hokkaido, I had a little extra time, so I stopped by before my flight. Perhaps because of the timing, it was very quiet, and I was able to leisurely take a stroll around. The scenery was beautiful, so I went around again, and I could see places I had visited during my trip, which allowed me to reminisce about my journey that wasn't quite over yet. I entered after 3:30 PM, and it was very impressive to see the transition from the daytime cityscape to the night view. You can get a panoramic view of Sapporo, but the best part was seeing Sapporo Tower directly below and the ski resorts in the distance.

There was a shop on the observation floor selling drinks and desserts, where I bought Sapporo beer and ice cream and relaxed in a chair by the window. Enjoying a drink while gazing at the beautiful scenery was truly exceptional. Since I had seen the night view from the Sapporo TV Tower the night before, I didn't have high expectations for the view this time, but the JR Tower was taller and had larger windows, so the scenery was really great. I ended up with wonderful memories, and I definitely want to stop by again next time I'm in Sapporo to enjoy the view while drinking Sapporo beer. I highly recommend it to everyone, so please make sure to visit!

初めての北海道旅行の最終日、時間が少し余ったので帰りの飛行機に乗る前に立ち寄ったのですが時間帯が良かったのかとても空いていてのんびりと一周、景色が良かったのでもう一周し各方面を眺めていると旅行中立ち寄った場所もよく見えたのでまだ終わっていない旅の思い出に浸れました。 15:30過ぎから入りましたが昼の街並みから夜景に変わってゆく様子が見れてとても印象に残りました。札幌を一望出来ますが一番良かったのは真下に札幌タワーや遠くにスキー場などが見える方面でした。 展望階に飲み物やデザートを販売しているお店があり、そこでサッポロビールとアイスを購入し窓際の椅子でゆっくり出来ました。 美しい景色を眺めながらの一杯は本当に格別でした、前日に札幌TV塔で夜景を見た後だったので 夜景の時間ではない分あまり期待はしていなかったのですがJRタワーの方が高く窓も大きいからか景色がとても良く最後に良い思い出が出来ました、次回札幌に来るときにも必ず寄ってサッポロビールを飲みながら景色を楽しみたいと思いました。 皆さんにもオススメ出来ますので是非立ち寄ってみてください。

Since I visited during the day last time, I was looking forward to enjoying the night view this time. I took the elevator from Stella Place to the 6th floor and headed to the entrance of the observation deck. It was a cold day with snow falling during the day, but I wasn't particularly worried about the night view. However, the receptionist told me, "It was completely invisible until just a moment ago." It seemed I had good timing as the snow had stopped. I went around 8 PM, and perhaps because it was a weekday, it wasn't crowded at all, with only a few customers. Some Asian guests were still around, as usual, but there were also several young couples sitting and relaxing. As for the view, it was completely different from what I experienced during the day, so it was great to experience both. When you think of Sapporo, the TV Tower is famous, but from this tower, you can look down on the beautifully lit TV Tower. The straight road leading from Odori to Susukino was also beautiful with the car lights. From the tower, you can see in all directions, and the jump hill at Okurayama was strangely bright. The view of the trains entering Sapporo Station below looked like tiny dots, which was impressive. There’s also a café, and since it’s quiet, I thought it might actually be a hidden gem for a relaxing time.

前回昼間に訪れたので今回は夜景を楽しみに行きました。ステラプレイスからエレーベーターで6階まで行きそこから展望室の入口へ。昼は雪が降る寒い日でしたが特に夜景のことは心配していなかったのですが受付けのお姉さんが「さっきまで全然見えなかったんですよ」と教えてくれました。雪が止み好いタイミングだったようです。20時頃行ったのですが平日のせいか以外にも混雑もなくお客さんもまばら。某アジア系のお客さんは相変わらずどこにでもいるようでこちらにもちらほら。他は若いカップルの方達が数組いすに座って寛いで居ました。眺望はというと前回の昼間とは全く異なった景色を楽しめたので両方体験出来良かったです。札幌というとテレビ塔が有名ですがこのタワーからだとライトアップしたテレビ塔をすっかり見下ろす感じで観られます。そして大通りからすすきの方面への真っ直ぐに続く道路も車のライトと相まって光がきれいでした。タワーからは360度見渡せ大倉山のジャンプ台方面がほの白く明るかったのが不思議な明るさで、真下に札幌駅に入線してくる電車が豆粒の様に見えた景色も印象的でした。カフェもあり静かなので実はのんびり過ごせる穴場かなと思いました。

We had a great experience with Veltra... we bought the ticket and was very easy to find the location to exchange the tickets. The tour was awesome, always on time, clean bus with pleasant people and good information about the city. We had a great time in Tokyo and we discovered many places in Tokyo that probably we wouldn't find without this tour. Our main highlight was the Skytree tower (the tower has 2 levels, we went to both, they charge each level separated, but was worth to visit both), Asakusa temple (we spent a lot of time there, beautiful location and lots of shopping), Tokyo Tower (also has 2 levels, we just visited one as the second level was closed due the winds), and many more. Highly recommended tour. We really enjoyed it.

I stopped by during my business trip to Hokkaido in February. I spent an hour at the observation deck until my train departure. It had snowed heavily the night before, but the access was very good since it is directly connected to the station, allowing me to avoid getting my shoes dirty. This was very convenient.

Although it was a Sunday afternoon, the observation deck seemed quite empty. I was able to enjoy a panoramic view of Sapporo city, beautifully sparkling with snow, and relax at the end of my trip. There is a café bar on-site, and that day, a group of senior men was happily chatting near the café corner. I thought that if I have the chance again, I would like to enjoy some alcohol while watching the sunset and night view.

Many seats are arranged in spacious areas, making it a great place for reading or just relaxing without doing anything. Additionally, the men's restroom is fantastic, and I highly recommend experiencing the open and spacious facilities. On the way to the observation deck via the elevator, I also enjoyed listening to music that mimicked the sounds of space, which was fun.

2月の北海道出張の際に立ち寄りました。
電車の時間までの1時間を展望台で過ごしました。
前夜まで大雪が降った後でしたが、駅に直結しているためアクセスがとても良く、足元が汚れずに済みました。これは大変便利でした。
展望台は日曜の午後でしたが、とても空いているように見えました。雪で美しく輝く札幌市内が一望でき、旅の最期をのんびりと過ごすことができました。
カフェバーが併設されており、この日はカフェコーナー近くでシニアの男性グループが楽しそうに談笑していました。次また機会があればアルコールをいただきながら日没〜夜景の景色を眺めたいな、と思いました。
多くの座席がゆったりしたスペースに配置されて、読書や何もせずにボーッと過ごすのも良さそうです。更に男性トイレが素晴らしく、開放的なトイレを是非体験して貰いたいです。
展望台へのエレベーターでのアクセスの途中でも、宇宙の音を模した音楽を聴いているので楽しかったです。

Difficult to purchase correct ticket on internet. Ticket clerk totally inflexible when we requested travel on the non stop bus in stead of the hop on hop off. Same company, same busses, plenty of free seats on both busses but it was IMPOSSIBLE to change ticket. I think you need to be a bit flexible. Not sure I would recommend to a friend. I have used open top bus in London & New York. A lot more user friendly.

We visited during Snow Festival early February and it was fantastic view

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！

Before the performance started, the waiting area felt like a lounge, with drinks, light snacks from Kanedaka, and a kimono DJ that really lifted the mood. The opening skit was also entertaining, and it was great to have a direct explanation of the kyogen from the performer right before the show. The content was easy to understand, and even though it was my first time experiencing kyogen, I enjoyed it very much! The backstage tour was also wonderful, as I got to see areas like the dressing rooms and behind the scenes that are usually off-limits.

演目が始まるまでは前室がラウンジのようになっていてドリンクや金田中さんの軽食、着物DJなどで気分が上がります。
前座のコント？も面白かったですし、演目前に狂言師さん直々に狂言の説明をしていただけたのが良かったです。内容もわかりやすかったですし、初めての狂言でしたがとても楽しめました！
バックヤードツアーも普段入ることのできない楽屋や舞台裏を見ることができて良かったです。

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 have an interest in traditional performing arts, and I learned about this tour through a friend's recommendation. I had experienced Bunraku before, but it was my first time seeing Noh and Kyogen. I felt a bit nervous entering the venue, as it seemed somewhat highbrow. The atmosphere was reminiscent of a Japanese-style club. The attendees appeared to be quite affluent, but there were also various people, including someone pulling a carry-on bag from afar and a young child who seemed to be in elementary school (later revealed to be the son of one of the performers). There was also a merchandise booth, and as someone wearing a kimono, I was very intrigued by the reasonably priced hanhaba obi and obi-dome. Before the performance, the performers provided a rather rough synopsis, and a comedian explained the etiquette for watching Kyogen, which made me feel at ease even without prior preparation. I never expected to laugh so much while enjoying traditional performing arts, which I thought would be highbrow. I believe it was a very approachable atmosphere for beginners in traditional arts. This was my first time using a tour, so I have no comparisons, but I was very satisfied!

伝統芸能に興味があり、知人の紹介でこのツアーを知り申し込みました。文楽鑑賞はしたことがありましたが、能・狂言は初めてでした。なんとなく敷居が高い気がして少し緊張して会場に入りました。会場は和風のクラブかと思わせるような雰囲気。来ている人達はなんとなくリッチにみえるような方々が多かった気がしますが、キャリーバックを引いた遠方からと思われる方、小学生低学年と思われるちびっ子（のちにこのちびっ子は演者さんの息子さんと判明）もいるなど様々な方が来ていました。また物販のブースもあり、着物を着る私にとっては半幅帯や帯留めがかなりのリーズナブルさだったことに興味津々でした。本番前には演者さんたちによる、かなり大荒なあらすじ解説、芸人さんによる前せつで狂言の鑑賞マナーを知ることができ、予習をしていなくとも安心して観ることができました。敷居が高いと思っていた伝統芸能でこんなにケラケラと笑うとは思ってもみないほど楽しく鑑賞できました。伝統芸能初心者にとっては、とてもとっつきやすい雰囲気だったと思います。初めてのツアー利用で比較対象がありませんが、大満足でした！
