All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

This tour was wonderful! I think the only downfall was because the weather was overcast so didn't get to see really good majestic pictures of Mt. Fuji but no fault of anyone but nature. LOL. The tour guide was very well versed in knowing all there was about cities, history, and spoke pretty good English. Everything went very smoothly and the traditional Japanese style lunch they planned was also right on point. I ate my very first and famously known black hard boiled egg straight from the site itself. Looking forward to the next trip and more planning through Veltra. Use Veltra as well as they seem to have more variety when all the other sites were all sold out, instant confirmations on most and a bit cheaper too. All bonuses!!

Thank you again, team, Veltra

Very encompassing tour of Tokyo. You see a both a Buddhist Temple and Shinto Shrine, visit several gardens, shop, take a boat ride on a scenic part of the river and have a great Japanese lunch. Of course the Cherry Blossoms were in bloom which made it extra special. Great guide!

This was the first time I took my parents on a bus tour and they were pleasantly surprised. The parking lot of the Metropolitan Government Building was a little confusing to find at first so make sure to get there early. Since the 5th station was closed due to the weather, we went to the 4th station instead but still had beautiful views from the top. The lunch at Fuji Q Highland was actually very tasty (chicken cacciatore, salad, bread, coffee/tea, dessert) in a beautiful little restaurant and an amazing view of the Mount Fuji from the tables. We had just enough time to do the sightseeing cruise, ropeway, and grab a little ice cream treat from the souvenir shop which must be a nice touch during the summer. We really loved the cruise and the view from the top of the cable car was spectacular for photos. Even if you were to add the cost of the bus, activities, food, and time to research I think it would cost more than than the tour itself. I would highly recommend this day trip to casual travelers that want a small taste of Japan's tallest and most majestic mountain.

I enjoyed this tour during my stay in Kanazawa. We were able to efficiently visit Shirakawa-go and Takayama. The time allocation was just right, with plenty of free time to explore the highlights at my own pace. The driver and guides were also very pleasant, and I had a wonderful time. I participated on April 3rd, and after an unusual snowfall, Shirakawa-go was beautifully covered in snow.

金沢滞在での一日にこのツアーを楽しみました。白川郷と高山を効率良く回る事ができました。時間配分はちょうど良く、自由時間も充分あり、好きなペースで見所を歩けました。ドライバー、ガイドの方々も感じ良く、素晴らしい時間を過ごせました。4月３日の参加でしたが、季節外れの雪が積もった後で、美しい雪の白川郷でした。

Staff service was very good even prior to the start of the tour. At pickup point staff made sure we were at the right tour and everyone was on board. On the actual tour bus the guide talk about the different sights in Tokyo city before we got out of the city, and through out the drive to Mt. Fuji provide us with various cultural and scenic information. We had a good view of Mt Fuji, even though we did not get to the 5th Station. The ropeway ride was also good and well guide but the tour guide to make sure we got on board. The disappointing part was the boat ride on Lake Ashi - since our tour was part of a larger group of people, too many in our opinion as we had no place to sit down and had to stand in several crowded areas until we reach the other side. So we had no commentary about the Lake and it surrounds, so basically it was just a ferry ride to the other side of the lake. The guide look after us during lunch and had a place for us to sit even though we did not get a lunch package, and finally made sure we got the the Odawara Station OK and directed us to the correct train and platform.

I was satisfied that I could visit World Heritage sites without wasting time. The advice on highlights and routes was also helpful. The lunch spot and the rice cracker shop had friendly service, making for a pleasant dining and experience! In the morning, we gathered at the west exit of Kanazawa Station, but there were no signs, so I wished they had something like a whiteboard to guide us.

時間の無駄なく世界遺産を巡ることが出来て満足です。
見所や順路のアドバイスも参考になりました。
ランチのお店もお煎餅のお店も、対応が明るくて気持ち良く食事や体験ができました！
朝、金沢駅西口に集合ですが案内板などは出てないのでホワイトバード的なモノを出しておいて欲しかったです。

It had everything I wanted to see!
The time spent at each location was short, but I was able to visit quite effectively.
And the guide was a wonderful person, which made for a relaxing day!

行きたい所が全て詰まってました！
1箇所に滞在する時間は短いですが、かなり有効的に回れます。
そしてガイドさんも素敵な方で一日癒されました！

I participated with my 4-year-old child. We chose the 5 PM boat for our return. After the water buffalo cart ride, we enjoyed an additional 2 hours of rental cycling. The sun was a bit strong, but it was fun to easily explore the island. It was also convenient to use the free shuttle from Ishigaki Port to the hotel on our way back.

It rained in the morning, and my heart felt a little... We embarked on a long-awaited project to experience the heart power of the Wilson tree. We are filled with gratitude for our guide, who quietly guided us despite our noisy group. We took happy photos with the Wilson tree. The guide was considerate, helping us appreciate the Jomon cedar and the Great Cedar, and taught us about their history. We learned about the names and origins of the plants, and it was quite enlightening.

The tips on climbing and how to equip ourselves were eye-opening, and the love for Yakushima was abundant. Thank you very much.

I would like to use your services again.

朝から雨、心は、ちょっと‥
ウィルソン株の、ハートパワーを頂きに三年越しの企画出発。ガヤガヤうるさい私達に静かにガイドをしてくださってガイドさんに感謝でいっぱいです。ウィルソン株と私達にハッピーな写真を撮って頂きました。縄文杉や大王杉感動出来るよう気を使ってくれたり、歴史を教えてもらいました。植物の名前や由来なども、えーはーそうなんだーとまあ

登山の心得や、装備の仕方も目からウロコ、そして屋久島愛が満載ですね。
本当にありがとうございました。

また利用させてください。

At the end of March, it was a bit early for cherry blossoms, and Shirakawa-go had only a little snow left, so I didn't have high expectations. However, there were guests from abroad on the tour, and the tour guide provided explanations in both English and Japanese. We enjoyed stories about history, local anecdotes, and personal experiences from the guide, making the bus ride quite enjoyable. The lunch was also warm and welcoming, and I was very satisfied. I would definitely like to participate again if the opportunity arises.

３月末で桜には少し早いし、雪も残雪程度の白川郷でしたので、期待はあまりしていなかったのですが、ツアーのお客さんには外国からの方もいて、添乗員さんは英語と日本語の２か国語で説明してくれました。
歴史の話や地元ならではの話、また添乗員さんが個人的に体験した話など、バスの中でも十分楽しめました。
昼食も温かいもてなしをうけ、大満足でした。
また機会があれば是非参加したいと思います。

Unfortunately, the weather wasn't very good, but it was great that we could cycle at our own pace and explore various places. We were able to choose our return ferry time, so we could relax and take our time.

残念ながら天気はあまり良くなかったですが、
サイクリングで自分たちのペースで各所をまわることができて良かったです。
帰りの船の時間は自分たちで選ぶことができたので、
ゆっくり過ごせました。

I was scheduled to return on an afternoon flight, so I had limited time, but I was able to efficiently visit the highlights of Ishigaki Island. The weather was favorable, and the guide's stories were interesting. I was also grateful to be taken to the airport.

午後の便で帰る予定だったので限られた時間でしたが、
石垣島の見所を効率良くまわることができました。
天気に恵まれ、ガイドさんのお話も面白く、
空港にも送っていただけたのはありがたかったです。

We had a great trip to Mt Fuji and Hakona day trip. The guide was absolotley the best guide we ever had in our life.
Recomend it very much

It was my first time in Okinawa, and I was unsure whether to rent a car, but choosing this tour was definitely the right decision. Both the guide and the driver were kind. They even sang for us, and not only did we get to our destinations, but we also learned a lot from the detailed guidance along the way, including the relationship between the U.S. military camps and the local community, as well as the current situation. It was not just sightseeing; it was educational as well. There was also plenty of free time at the places we visited. I would definitely recommend this to others traveling to Okinawa for the first time.

初めての沖縄でしたので、レンタカーを借りるかどうか迷いましたが、こちらのツアーにして大正解でした。ガイドさんも運転手さんも親切でした。唄も歌って下さり、目的地だけでなく、道中各地の細やかなガイド、米軍キャンプと地元の方々との関わり方や現状など、たくさん知ることができ、単なる観光というだけでなく勉強にもなりました。訪問地での自由時間も十分余裕がありました。初めて沖縄を旅する周りの人達に勧めたいと思いました。

The panoramic photo taken at Wilson's stock is amazing.

I walked for a long time, but it was fun.

I was happy with the hospitality of the miso soup for lunch.

ウィルソン株で 撮影してくれたパノラマ写真最高です

長時間歩きましたが 楽しかったです

ランチの味噌汁のおもてなし うれしかったです

It was a great bus tour for those who can't drive or don't have a license. I think it's very good because we were able to visit many places for the price!

車を運転できない人免許がない人にはとてもいいバスツアーでした。
価格以上のいろんな所にまわれてとてもいいとおもいます！

Day trip to Mt. Fuji and Hakone and cruise on Lake Ashi was amazing . We were lucky enough to have an amazing view of Mt. Fuji .the coach trip was great and tour guide made the day lots of fun.

I only knew Harajuku for the gothic-lolita kawaii fashion so it was very interesting to see the back alleys and food places I normally don't see in guidebooks. We got to sample a lot of regional specialities and lots of desserts (my favorite!) Our friendly guide was super knowledgeable and was flexible to cater to our entire group. But be prepared to swim through the crowd and possibly wait on lines for some of the treats.

At first we were worried about the pickup service, since we are not sure which bus to board, but then there is actually a guide? Which will meet us at the pickup location and check the attendance, then only we board the bus to daiichi hotel and change to another bus to hakone. The way to hakone from daichi hotel is about 2h30min, but we get to have a 15min break after an hour on the bus and we are also able to see mt fuji from the break spot. We have mr yoshi as our tour guide, and he was informative. While in the bus, mr yoshi also teaches us how to count from 1-10, sang a mt fuji song, and fold an origami of mt fuji. The lunch was also delicious.

I think we were able to efficiently enjoy lunch, including the cable car fare, at a reasonable price. The guide was an audio guide, which also had options in languages other than Japanese. It was disappointing that the lunch, which should have been warm, was served cold, possibly to save time. I believe it would have been better if the bus stop times at each sightseeing location were a bit longer. It was helpful that they asked for our preferences regarding the drop-off location for the return bus.

昼食、ロープウェイの料金も込みで、リーズナブルに効率よく回れたと思います。
ガイドは音声ガイドで、日本語以外にも対応ありでした。
お昼ご飯は時間短縮の為か本来なら温かい食べ物が配膳済みで冷たかったのが残念でした。
各観光地のバス停車時間がもう少し長いとより良かったと思います。
帰りのバス下車場所は希望を聞いていただけるので助かりました。

I was visiting Ishigaki Island for diving, so I didn't have much time for sightseeing, but this plan was just right in terms of timing! At Kabira Bay, I was able to take an optional glass-bottom boat ride! I saw beautiful seas, fish, and coral! The bus guide was also very good!

ダイビングで石垣島を訪れていたため、観光をするタイミングが時間的にあまりなかったのですが、このプランは時間的にもちょうど良かったです！
川平湾のところで、オプションでグラスボートに乗ることができました！きれいな海、魚、サンゴが見れました！
バスガイドの方も大変良かったです！

I walked and walked, climbed and climbed. There were moments when my spirit felt like giving up, but when I faced Jomon Sugi, everything else faded away. I was simply overwhelmed by the presence of Jomon Sugi.

歩いて歩いて登って登って。心がくじけそうになりましたが、縄文杉に対面するとすべてが吹っ飛びます。ただただ縄文杉の存在感に圧倒されました。

Our guide Asami did a great job taking us to places with great eats! She made sure to give us background info about the places we were visiting and even explained Japanese customs and table manners. She also accommodated personal requests (getting specific souvenirs, etc.) which made the tour feel more intimate.

I did expect this tour to feature more Instagrammable food, but it wasn't so much the case. Nonetheless, everything we ate was good. I especially loved the sesame ice cream!

We came to Osaka for a 2-night trip with our family of four (children in 5th grade and 1st year of high school).

On the first day, we went to the usual Universal Studios Japan. What should we do on the second day?

That's when we found this tour.

I was concerned about parking in Kyoto with our own car, so this was just perfect.

家族　4人（子供　小５　高１）で　２泊で大阪観光に来ました。

１日目は　お決まりの　ユニバーサルスタジオジャパン
２日目は　如何する？

その時に　見つけたのが　こちらのツアーでした。

京都観光は　マイカーでは　駐車場が大変と考えていたので

まさに　打ってつけでした。

I found this activity while searching online for things to do in Kanazawa. A local guide accompanied us, which was very helpful for our free exploration. We had plenty of time to stroll around and thoroughly enjoy the sights. It was great that they pointed out photo spots. We also made it back in time for the Thunderbird, allowing us to enjoy the World Heritage sites.

金沢のアクティビティーをネットで探していてこちらを見つけました。地元在住の添乗員さんが案内をしてくださり自由散策に役立ちました。散策時間も十分とられていてしっかり見学できました。フォトスポットを教えていただいたのは良かったです。帰りのサンダーバードにもしっかり間に合い、世界遺産を楽しむことができました。

The walking time was long and quite tiring, but our guide, Mr. Kobayashi, was very considerate of our pace, which was a great help. We also took breaks at just the right moments, and somehow we managed to return at the end having enjoyed ourselves.

歩く時間が長く大変疲れましたが、ガイドの小林さんが歩くペースを考えて下さり大変助かりました。休憩も絶妙なタイミングで取って頂きなんとか最後まで楽しく戻って来る事が出来ました。

A good tour, a good day with clear blue skies. Excellent view of Mt Fuji & well planned itinerary. The tour guide is helpful and gave us good description of the places we visited.

Due to the heavy rain since the previous day, there were warnings from the morning, and I was quite anxious from the start. However, the warnings were lifted, and we began at the Arakawa trailhead. It seems that starting from here is tougher, but I trusted the judgment of our experienced guide. It was extremely cold because of the rain, but the miso soup that the guide provided was truly comforting.

Completing two major courses at once was certainly hard, and I dealt with muscle pain for two days, but once the pain subsided, I realized it had been a wonderful experience. Perhaps due to the rain, the trekking lasted a total of 12 hours, but I'm glad I went. This course would be impossible without a guide, as it would break your spirit! (laughs)

前日からの土砂降りで朝から警報が出ており、スタートからヒヤヒヤしましたが、なんとか警報も解除され、荒川登山口からスタート
こっちからスタートするほうがしんどいらしいですが、ベテランガイドさんの判断にお任せ
雨が降っていたのでめちゃくちゃ寒かったですが、ガイドさんの出して下さったお味噌汁が本当に染み渡りました
いっぺんに2大コースを済ませる分、当然ハードで、2日間筋肉痛を引きずりましたが、痛みが引いてやっと、素晴らしい体験になったなぁと思います
雨のためか計12時間のトレッキングになりましたが、行けて良かった
このコースはガイドさん無しだと心が折れるので無理ですね 笑

It was my first time visiting, but the guide provided detailed information and shared various stories, making the bus ride enjoyable. I really appreciated having the guide's assistance rather than exploring on my own. My 3-year-old son was thrilled to see the whale shark.

初めて行くところでしたが、ガイドさんが細いところまで教えてくれたり、いろんな話をしてくれたので楽しくバスの中も過ごせました。
個人でいろいろ巡るよりもガイドさんの案内があってほんとに良かったと思います。
3歳の息子はジンベイザメに大興奮でした。

It was a very fun day trip with plenty to do and beautiful scenery. It was perfect for our 10 year old too. He said he really enjoyed it. We even really liked the Japanese style lunch...the portion was quite large. We got lucky because it was a clear and beautiful day.
