All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

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.

This was my first time in Yakushima. It was late March, so it wasn't high season, but I still enjoyed it. The weather was bad and humid, but it seems that the rocks in Yakushima are not slippery even when wet, so I didn't struggle much with the hiking. Personally, I thought Taiko Rock and the Mossy Forest were the best. I enjoyed the sacred atmosphere in the conditions after the rain. If I were to visit again, I think I would skip the Yakusugi.

今回が初めての屋久島でした。3月下旬とハイシーズンではありませんでしたが、普通に楽しめました。天気が悪くジメジメしてましたが、屋久島の岩は濡れても滑りにくいみたいでそこまで登山に苦労はしませんでした。
個人的には太鼓岩と苔むすの森が最高でした。雨上がりのコンディションで神聖な雰囲気を楽しめました。
またリピするなら屋久杉は省略すると思います。

The plan was to meet up with the group at Fushimi Inari Taisha after starting from Osaka, but I was the only participant starting from Kyoto Station, so I was lucky to hear a lot of stories before we met up. Compared to when I explored a few places on my own the day before, they pointed out must-see spots, and since we could freely explore at the destinations, I recommend this for those who want to efficiently visit famous places. Most of the participants were foreigners, and the guide's explanations were in both English and Japanese, so it was fun to listen and think about how much I could understand from the English explanations. Kyoto is a wonderful place, and there are still many places I want to visit. Next time, I would like to join another tour with a different course.

大阪初のグループと伏見稲荷大社で合流するプランでしたが京都駅初の参加者は私一人で、合流するまでたくさん話が聞けてラッキーでした。前日に自分で何ヵ所か観光した時と比べると見所ポイントを教えてくれて行った先では自由に観光できるので有名どころを効率よく回りたい人にはおすすめです。外国人の方がほとんどでガイドさんの説明も英語と日本語なので英語の説明がどこまで理解できるかなんて思いながら聞くのも楽しかったです。京都は素敵な所でまだまだ行きたいところがたくさんあります。その時はまた他のコースのツアーに参加したいと思います。

I participated with three friends.
The weather was great on the day of the tour, which included about 20 people, including foreigners. The guides were very kind, and the information they shared on the bus was very interesting, making the journey enjoyable.
Shirakawa-go and Gokayama Sakaura still had some snow, creating a beautiful and charming landscape. We were able to leisurely explore by climbing the observation deck and visiting souvenir shops. I wasn't expecting much from the lunch (since it was included in the tour), but I was surprised! It was delicious and very filling.
The hand-baked rice cracker experience was also fun.
Thanks to the guides, it truly became a wonderful day. Thank you very much.

友人達と4人で参加しました。
当日は天気にも恵まれ、外国の方々も含む20名ほどのツアーでした。ガイドの方々はとても親切で、バスの中で教えて頂く情報も大変面白く、移動中も楽しく過ごせました。
白川郷や五箇山相倉はまだ雪も残っていて、風情あるとても素敵な景色でした。展望台に登ったりお土産やさんに寄ったり、のんびり散策できました。昼食は(ツアーに入ってる食事だし...)と特に期待していなかったのですがビックリ！美味しくボリュームたっぷりでお腹いっぱいになりました。
手焼きせんべい体験も楽しかったです。
ガイドしてくださる方々のお陰で本当に楽しい一日になりました。ありがとうございました。

The time allocation was reasonable, and the guide's dedication to their work was impressive. The tour had a lot of rain due to the season, and the scenery was not very satisfying, but inside the aquarium, the weather didn't matter, so we could enjoy it at a leisurely pace. I would definitely like to join again next time.

無理のない時間配分，ガイドさんが一生懸命仕事をしている姿が印象的でした．ツアーは季節がら雨が多く，景色が十分満足いくものではなかったのですが，水族館の中は，天候も関係ないのでゆっくり鑑賞できました．
また，是非，次の機会もよろしくお願いします．

Kouri Island's beach was narrower than I expected, and I wasn't particularly impressed. The Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium had a large tank, which was nice, but it was quite crowded, so I couldn't take my time to enjoy it. Especially at the beginning, it gets busy, so I think it's better to pass through as quickly as possible. I had my meal next to the large tank of the hammerhead shark, but there are few seats and you have to line up to buy, so it's better to get there early. The dolphin show seems to be popular, and seats fill up about 30 minutes before it starts, so if you arrive at the last minute, you'll have to stand.

I ended up shopping quite a bit at Okashi Goten.

Manzamo was just a quick shot.

Ryukyu Village had better dancing than I expected, and I think I would have enjoyed it more if I could have taken my time.

古宇利島は思ったよりビーチが狭く、今ひとつ感動できなかった。美ら海水族館は大水槽もあってよかったのですが、いかんせん混んでいてゆっくりと見れなかった。特に最初の方は混みあうので、できるだけ早く通り過ぎるほうが良いと思う。食事は甚平鮫の大水槽の横でとったのですが、席が少ないのと買うのに列できるので早めにとる方が良いと思う。イルカのショーは人気あるようで30分くらいから席が埋まるのでギリギリに行くと立ち見になる。
御菓子御伝ではしっかりと買い物してしまった。
万座毛はワンショットだけ。
琉球村は思ったより踊りも良かったしもう少しゆっくりとできたら楽しめたと思う。

I was worried about the weather, but it hardly rained at all. The boat on the way there was packed with people, so I was a bit concerned, but we moved along smoothly without much waiting. Since it was my first trip to Ishigaki Island, I joined this plan, and I’m glad I did. Next time I come, I would like to participate in activities that allow me to explore even deeper into the places I discovered on this trip.

心配していた天気でしたが、ほとんど雨が降る事もなく。
行きの船は沢山の人で埋め尽くされていたので、若干心配していましたが、スムーズに待つ事もほとんどなく進んで行きました。
初めての石垣島への旅行だったので、このプランを参加しましたが良かったです。次来る時は、今回の旅行で更に深く行ってみたい所などに参加してみたいと思えました。

It was my first time in Okinawa. I looked at the guidebook and found that almost all the places I wanted to visit were included in this tour, so I decided to join. I was picked up right near my hotel, and they dropped me off at the same place on the way back, which was very convenient. During the transfer, I could listen to explanations through the audio guide. Visiting the places after hearing detailed explanations was quite moving.

The straight bridge to Kouri Island felt really nice! Having lunch while watching the whale sharks at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium was an experience I won't forget.

初めての沖縄でした。 ガイドブックを見て、行きたいな〜と思った場所がほとんどおさえられていたので、こちらのツアーへの参加を決めました。宿泊先のホテルからすぐのところでピックアップしてもらい、帰りも同じ場所で降ろしてもらったので楽々です。そして移動中は、オーディオガイドで説明を聞くことができます。詳しい説明を聞いてからその場所を訪れると、感慨深いものがあります。
古宇利島の海のまっすぐ伸びた橋は、とても気持ちがいい！
美ら海水族館でジンベイザメを見ながらのラン
チもなかなかできない体験でした。

I wanted to efficiently travel to Shirakawa-go from Kanazawa in a limited amount of time, so I joined a tour. The bus seats were quite spacious, and perhaps because it was a weekday, the bus was not crowded at all, making it comfortable.

I think it was a great deal since we could visit not only Shirakawa-go but also Takayama. As we approached each destination, the staff explained the highlights and recommendations, which was very helpful. The lunch I had in Shirakawa-go was delicious, and I was also able to enjoy a hot spring. Thanks to this, it turned out to be a fulfilling trip.

金沢から時間がない中、効率的に白川郷まで行きたいと思いツアーに参加しました。バスの座席もかなりゆったりした作りでしたが平日だったせいかバスはかなり余裕があり、快適でした。
白川郷だけでなく、飛騨高山にも行けてお得だと思います。それぞれ目的地に近付くと、スタッフの方が見所等オススメを説明してくれて、助かりました。白川郷で食べた昼食も美味しかったし、温泉にも入れました。おかげで充実した旅になりました。

The guide was fun and knowledgeable. The tour of the whiskey distillery and sake brewery was great. The sake brewery did not have an English translation but the guide translated for our group. We went to a great spot for lunch that was recommended by the guide. Amazing, I recommend the tour and especially if you need help with translation. Our driver was very friendly and accommodating interacted with the party. Highly recommend the tour.

Overall was very impressed with the day trip. Coach was comfortable and didn't feel like the journeys were too long overall. Host was very nice and informative.

Only two slight downsides to note was that we went for the 'no set lunch option' thinking there would be a shop to purchase food from or the option to pay for lunch when we got there but neither was correct.

Also, slightly surprised we did not get closer to Fuji.

Overall would definitely recommend.

Thank you, Yukie Nakama, and the tour guide for the very enjoyable talk and the precious live singing. I was able to have fun and laugh even when I was alone, and I always felt relieved when I returned to the bus. I bought a CD of Kachashi in Okinawa and listen to it at home. Although the weather wasn't sunny, the conversation was so enjoyable that I didn't mind. Thank you very much.

仲間由紀恵さん、いえいえ添乗員さんとても楽しいトークと、貴重な生歌をありがとうございました。一人でも楽しく笑って過ごせ、バスに戻るといつもほっとしました。カチャーシーのCDを沖縄で買って、家で聞いています。天気が晴れなかったけど、それを気にさせないくらいお話が楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。

We participated with three people while we were in Hokkaido for other business. Most of the attendees were inbound tourists, so there was no need for Japanese explanations, but the kind and accurate explanations made it very enjoyable for us.

The tour guide, Nao, was very attentive to the participants and provided explanations that were easy to understand. Her ability to appear anywhere, along with her dash and skip, was a big hit with my family.

I would be happy to meet again on another tour. It was a very enjoyable and memorable tour of Kyoto. Thank you very much.

北海道から用事のついでに３人で参加させて頂きました。インバウンドの方が大方で日本語の解説が必要ないくらいの状況でしたが、親切で的確に説明して頂きとても楽しませて頂きました。

添乗員のＮＡＯさんは参加者への気配り・説明共に非常に解りやすく、どこにでも神出鬼没　ダッシュからのスキップなどうちの家族には大受けでした。

又、どこかのツアーで会えたらうれしいです。とても楽しい記憶に残る京都ツアーでした。ありがとうございました。

Hello,
The first good thing about participating in the island tour was that it was carried out according to schedule, and I was able to enjoy the services at each location without any decline in quality. Moreover, I received courteous assistance. Thank you.

こんにちは
離島ツアーに参加して良かった事の第1はスケジュール通りに遂行されていた事だが、個々の場所でのサービスは低下する事なく楽しめた。
しかも丁寧に対応していただきました。
ありがとう

We were thrilled that we booked this tour, it was a day full of incredible sights and learnings thanks to our sensational tour guide Levin!!!
Levin was brilliant at keeping us engaged and sharing some really interesting facts along the way.
The tour combined a few parts, all of which were spectacular viewing points for Mount Fuji.
We were very lucky to get to level 5 when we travelled in Feb as it was the first they opened this level, what a treat :)
The village along with ninjas was a nice way to break up the day and here was quite the feast waiting on us, the food was delicious and yet again, glorious views.
We ended the tour with a 3D flight simulation ride over Mout Fuji which was a cool and fun way to end the day before the trip back to the city.
Absolutely loved every minute and big kudos to Levin, he was an amazing guide!

The bus was filled with foreigners. However, my daughter has an understanding of English and Japanese that is about the same, so it was great that there were explanations in both languages. Moreover, being able to see this amount in one day is something only a tour can offer. If I were to go on my own, I think I would probably be limited to two places at most.

We walked a lot, but it was a fun sightseeing experience. I am very satisfied. The guide took our photos, and they turned out really well. We have some great family pictures as a keepsake. Thank you for your help. I would like to participate again.

バスの中は外国人の方ばかりでした。が、うちの娘は英語と日本語が同じくらいの理解度なので、英語と日本語の両方で説明があるのが良かったです。しかも１日でこの量、観光できるのはツアーならではです。自分で行こうと思うと多分２箇所が限界だと思います。
とっても歩きましたが、楽しい観光でした。大満足です。ガイドさんが写真を撮って下さいましたが、またこれがとっても上手で。家族のいい写真が記念になりました。お世話になりました。また参加したいです。
