All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

Our driver Fuji was perfect! He spoke fluent English and was very discreet at all times. He helped us understand a little more at our tour spots and took us at the right time to each one. Even dropped us off at the Kyoto station dot on time, as expected. He was full of little extra tit bit info which I found fascinating. I would highly recommend Mr. Fuji as a guide for anyone wanting to explore Kyoto by limo.

I have been to Okinawa Island several times, but this tour allowed me to visit places I had never been to before, such as Daichi Forest and Cape Hedo. I also enjoyed a delicious buffet for lunch, and I was very satisfied.

沖縄本島には、何度か行きましたが、このツアーは今まで行ったことがなかった大石林山や辺戸岬に行くことができ、お昼はおいしいビュッフェを堪能することができ、大満足でした。

It was a trip with my 2-year-and-10-month-old daughter and three generations of our family. We were able to fully enjoy the unique experiences of Mishima, and it was a lot of fun! There wasn't much wasted time, so my little daughter was able to enjoy herself as well. The sanshin music on the water buffalo cart was great!

2才10か月の娘と三世代での旅でした。
三島それぞれの楽しさを満喫できて、とても楽しかったです！時間にも待ち時間など無駄があまりなくて、小さい娘も楽しめました。水牛車の方の三線よかったです☆

Thank you for your assistance with my sightseeing in Kyoto.
I participated in the tour of the three major attractions (Fushimi Inari Taisha, Kiyomizu-dera, and Kinkaku-ji).
At Kiyomizu-dera, there was a large colored paper displayed the day after the announcement of this year's kanji, and many people in kimono could be seen. The scenery of the falling autumn leaves and people in kimono, with the occasional breeze, felt very much like Kyoto.
At Kinkaku-ji, the suddenly appearing golden building and the reflection in the pond were truly magnificent, making me forget the time.
The tour bus was a new yellow (lemon-colored) bus, and the interior was very clean, which made it easy to find the right bus at each sightseeing spot without getting lost.
The guide's explanations were clear, and announcements were made at just the right moments, allowing me to fully enjoy my Kyoto sightseeing experience.
I participated from the Kanto region, and it had been since my school trip that I visited Kyoto, but as an adult, I was able to appreciate the charm of Kyoto and had a memorable day.
I would like to use your services again when I visit Kyoto next time, so thank you in advance.

京都観光お世話になりました。
三大名所（伏見稲荷大社、清水寺、金閣寺）観光に参加しました。
清水寺では、今年の漢字の発表翌日で大きな色紙が飾られており、着物姿の方も多く見られ、時より風が吹いて散る紅葉と着物姿の風景が、とても京都らしく感じられました。
金閣寺では、突如現れた金色の建物と池に映える景色がとても素晴らしく、時間を忘れるくらいでした。
ツアーのバスは黄色い（レモン色）新しいバスで、室内も清掃が行き届いており、とても綺麗なバスでした。その為、各観光名所でも迷うことなく、目的のバスにたどり着く事ができました。
ガイドさんの説明も分かりやすく、説明してほしいタイミングで適時アナウンスが入り、京都観光を満喫する事ができました。
関東からの参加で、修学旅行以来の京都観光でしたが、大人になってからの京都は風情を感じられ、記憶に残る一日を過ごすことができました。
京都方面に行った時は、また利用したいと思いますのでよろしくお願いいたします。

It was interesting to hear the guide talk about the history and trivia of Ishikawa Prefecture and Toyama Prefecture during the round trip to Shirakawa-go and Gokayama. The guide was fluent in English and explained everything in a way that was understandable for the foreign guests accompanying us. The lunch was also delicious. If I have the opportunity, I would like to try other tours offered by the same company.

白川郷、五箇山までの行き帰りの道のりで、ガイドさんが石川県、富山県の歴史やトリビアを話してくれたのは面白かったです。ガイドさんの英語が堪能で同行した外人にも、わかるように説明してくれました。昼食のご飯もおいしかったです。
機会があれば、同社の他のツアーも試してみたいと思います。

This was our first time visiting Japan and this was a good way to start our vacation We boarded the sky bus at 3pm and found places we wanted to go back and explore the following day. The audio recording was helpful in giving suggestions of what is available to explore at each stop. The stop was easy to find when wanting to hop back on the bus.
We enjoyed the sky bus tour and the tickets worth worth the price. The entire family found it worth the price, even the teenagers. The tour was fun for the entire family. :) We will return to Japan to do more exploring.
Thank you sky bus team!! Especially the bus driver!!

To save on travel costs, I participated in my first monitor tour. It was my first bus tour, and I was worried about making it to the meeting point since I was coming from an island without a train. However, I was relieved to spot the meeting location from the window of the train arriving at Osaka Station.

As soon as I headed to the bus, the guide greeted me and led me to a bright yellow bus. Although our seats were assigned, the bus was full that day, with nearly 80% of the passengers being foreigners.

It took about an hour from Osaka to Kyoto, and we arrived at our first sightseeing spot, Fushimi Inari Taisha. Since it was New Year's Eve, the guide mentioned that there would be more people than usual, and I was desperately trying to keep up with the guide! After that, we had some free time—my main goal this trip! I happily walked through the thousands of torii gates. I returned to the bus after enjoying omikuji, souvenirs, and inari sushi.

Next was Kiyomizu-dera, which was also crowded. I went with the flow of the crowd like on a conveyor belt, stopping occasionally to take photos and admire the view of Kyoto from Kiyomizu-dera.

For lunch, the bus stopped at a building with many restaurants, so we had no trouble finding food. However, since we didn't have much time, we opted for ramen in the basement! It was delicious! Finally, we visited Kinkaku-ji. We were blessed with beautiful weather that day, and I was able to see the stunning Kinkaku-ji shining in the sunlight. It felt like a good omen (laughs).

After visiting all the sites, I fell into a deep sleep on the bus back to Osaka, and before I knew it, we had arrived. During this bus tour, there was also SHU, who was fluent in English, and I’m sorry, but I forgot the driver’s name… It was a smooth drive without any surprises.

Now, I'm excited about which bus tour to choose next. Thank you!

少しでも旅行の費用を抑えようと、初のモニターツアーに参加しました。バスツアーは初めてで鉄道の無い島からの参加でした、、待ち合わせ場所にも無事着くかなーって心配してましたが、たまたま大阪駅に着く電車の窓から待ち合わせ場所を発見しホッと一息でした。
早速、バスへ向かうとガイドさんから声を掛けていだだいて、黄色の鮮やかなバスへと案内されました。座席は決まってましたが、その日は満席で8割近く外国の方々でした。
大阪から京都まで約一時間、最初の観光地、伏見稲荷大社に到着です。この日は大晦日で普段以上の人出だとガイドがおっしゃってて、私から離れないように、と、ガイドさんを追っかけるのに必死でした！それからの自由行動〜今回の一番のお目当！千本鳥居⛩をニヤニヤしながらくぐりました。おみくじ、お土産、稲荷寿司を食べながらバスへ戻りました。続いての清水寺もやはり人だかりで、ターンベルトの様に流れに身を任せ、少し立ち止まり写真を撮ったり京都の町並を清水寺から眺めました。さて、お昼ですが、、バスが止まったビルには沢山の飲食店が入ってるビルで食を取るには困りませんでした。しかし、時間がさほどなかったので、私達は地下にあったラーメンをいただきました❗️まいぅ〜〜でしたよ！さぁ〜最後の金閣寺❗️その日は最高にお天気に恵まれて、太陽の日に当たりキラキラ輝く綺麗な金閣寺を見る事が出来ました。御利益
ありそうです(笑)
さて、見学地も終わり大阪に帰るバスは爆睡で、あっというまに到着でした。今回、バスツアーでは
英語も堪能なSHUさん、あと、、すみませんドライバーさんの名前は忘れてしまいましたが…1度もハッとする事なく過ごせたドライブでした。
また、次はどのバスツアーにしようかとワクワクしてます。ありがとうございました。

This is a great way to get an overview of Tokyo and have the ability to get off and explore. We did two of the three lines and felt we had a better layout of Tokyo.
My teenagers even enjoyed it after hours of teasing me prior to arriving for our first ride. The hop on/hop off ability was very nice and the recommendations of why to get off and explore from the audio were helpful. . The stops were easy to find when you wanted to get onto the bus.
It is worth the price and we will ride the sky bus again when we are back in Tokyo. Thanks sky bus for showing us around Tokyo and areas to explore.

I planned to visit Shirakawa-go on a day trip during my year-end trip to Kanazawa, but the regular buses were fully booked two weeks prior. I hurriedly searched online and found this tour. I was worried since it wasn't through a major travel agency, but it turned out to be a wonderful memory. There were over 30 people in total that day. While there were many Japanese groups, there were also a few foreign couples. The male guide was kind-hearted, knowledgeable, and provided casual yet useful information without being pushy, which made it very pleasant. The planning was well done, as we arrived before the area got crowded, making everything very smooth. I highly recommend it.

年末の金沢旅行の際に日帰りで白川郷に行こうと思いましたが、２週間前の時点で定期バスは満席、あわててネットで探してこのツアーにたどり着きました。大手の旅行代理店経由でなかったため心配でしたが、結果的にとても良い思い出になりました。当日は全体で30人超。日本人のグループが多いですが外国人カップルなどもちらほらいました。ガイド役の男性は心優しく、お話も博学ながらカジュアルで役立つ情報が多く、且つ押しつけがましくなくて、とても心地よかったです。現地が混み合う前に到着するなどうまく計画されていて、とてもスムーズでした。お勧めです。

This Bus Tour was excellent! Our family enjoyed it very much. We split our week between Naha and Onna cities. We took the bus from Kencho-mae in Naha with our luggages to the Churaumi Aquarium and got dropped off at Rizzan Seapark Tancha Bay. This took care of our transportation between Naha to Onna. Very nice Tour guide and bus driver. We would definitely use Veltra again when we go to Okinawa. Thank you!!

They mentioned they would take to 5th station of mt. Fuji , but they finished at 2nd station! Other than this , it was really awesome , especially the guide was so informative and her English was good too.

Amazing views of the mount Fuji and Hakone, take it if you have a free day!

About 15 minutes from Ishigaki Port Ferry Terminal, upon landing at Taketomi Port, a shuttle bus is waiting to take you to the center of the village located almost in the middle of the island. After about 5 minutes, you arrive at the place where the water buffalo carts depart, and from there, a 30-minute water buffalo cart tour begins. You progress between traditional Yaeyama buildings characterized by coral stone walls and red-tiled roofs. The classic "Asiriya Yunta" is sung by the driver and guide accompanied by the sanshin, filling the journey with a sense of adventure. It's significantly cheaper than paying for the ferry and water buffalo cart tour separately.

石垣港離島ターミナルから約１５分、竹富港に上陸すると、島のほぼ中央にある集落の中心に向かう送迎バスが待っている。５分ほどで水牛車の発着する場所に到着し、そこから約３０分の水牛車観光が始まる。サンゴの石を積み重ねた垣根と赤瓦の屋根が特徴な八重山の伝統的な建物の間を進む。定番の「安里屋ユンタ」も御者兼ガイドさんが三線の伴奏で唄って、一気に旅情が満たされる旅となりました。船代と水牛車観光を別々に支払うよりかなり格安。

It was a very efficient tour that allowed us to visit Taketomi Island, Iriomote Island, and Yufu Island. I hope to participate in various tours again if the opportunity arises.

竹富島、西表島、由布島を効率的にまわることができ非常に効率的なツアーでした。また機会があれば色々なツアーに参加させて頂ければと考えております

I gained energy from the power spot. The walking course at Oishi Mountain Forest is just the right distance and allows you to enjoy both the sea and the mountains. For lunch, I recommend a beautiful restaurant with a view of the beach where you can relax and eat. After enjoying a leisurely lunch, we headed to the aquarium and stayed for about two hours. I was very satisfied that we could take our time and play without rushing. I plan to go again.

パワースポットで元気をもらいました。大石山林で距離的にちょうどいい散歩コースは海も山も満喫できます。お昼はビーチの見える綺麗なレストランでゆっくり食べられてオススメです。ゆっくりお昼を食べてから水族館へ向かい、2時間ぐらい滞在しました。急がらなくてのんびり遊べるのは大変満足しました。また行こうと思います。

It was my first time in Ishigaki Island, so I applied for the tour without hesitation. The content was fulfilling and it was very good. However, since I chose the bus tour on Taketomi Island, I wished I could have taken it a bit slower.

初めての石垣島だったので、迷いなくツアー申し込みをしました。内容も充実していて、とてもよかったです。ただ竹富島はバス観光を選んだので、もう少しゆっくりしたかったです。

I think renting a bicycle is the best option on Taketomi Island since it's a small island. Unfortunately, the weather during my visit wasn't great, so I couldn't enjoy the scenery, but I was able to relax. I was impressed by the Ryukyu architecture under construction that I included in the photo; I'm not sure if it's a private home or commercial, but it's a style that you rarely get to see.

竹富島は狭い島なのでレンタサイクルがベストだと思います。今回の良好ではあいにくの天気で景色どころではなかったですが、のんびりと過ごすことが出来ました。写真に載せた建築中の琉球建築は民家か商用かは不明ですが滅多に観ることが出来ない様式に感動しました。

Had a great time in Yokohama & Kamakura with Taiji, our driver cum guide.
So glad that I opted for this tour provided by TSA

Saw beautiful golden maple leaves - remnants of Autumn. Trip was enjoyable as our guide was fluent in English which made communication a BIG plus

Patient & accommodating to our needs, young and old. Will highly recommend Taiji to anyone requiring driver cum guide services

On the tour date of February 3rd, there were many foreign participants, and it felt like I was part of a foreign tour. The guide was very articulate, and the driver provided a comfortable ride, which made me very satisfied. We were able to sightsee efficiently, and the price was reasonable, which was great. If I have the opportunity to hear the sound of the sanshin in the future, I think I will remember this tour. It left a deep impression on me.

ツアー参加日は、2/3が外国人の方で、何だか外国人ツアーに参加したようでした。お話のお上手なガイドさんと 心地良い運転のドライバーさんで、大満足でした。効率よく観光でき、料金もお値打ちで良かったです。今後、三線の音色を耳にする機会があるとすれば、このツアーを思い出すと思います。それ程、印象深いものになりました。

The tour was a blast. Our driver, Hiro, did an excellent job getting us around the city- especially given that it was a holiday and the major sites were crowded. He was very knowledgeable about the area, and answered all of our questions about Kyoto. I highly recommend this tour to others.

I visited many places for the first time and was satisfied. One disappointing aspect was that there were few participants (only 14), and I was the only Japanese person. I wonder why, considering so many people are flocking to the southern region. Both Cape Hedo and the Great Stone Forest were wonderful, and the meal at Nikko Okuma was amazing. The Churaumi Aquarium was about what I expected, but I found it strange that there weren't more Japanese visitors.

始めていったところが多く、満足した。残念だったことは参加者が少なかった（１４名）こともあるが、日本人が自分一人だったこと。南部にはたくさんの人が押し寄せているのになんでだろう。辺戸岬も大石林山も素晴らしかったし、ニッコーオオクマの食事もすごかった。美ら海水族館はあんなものだろうが、どうして日本人が来ないのか不思議だった。

This is the first time we visited Tokyo with young children, we chose hop on hop off bus to get an overview of Tokyo. It's very easy for us to find their ticket office in Mitsubishi building, there are plenty of restaurants inside the building thus you can grab someting before boarding the bus. Bus arrival is super on time, clean and spacious. The route design also allow us to view most of the attractive places, bus attendants are helpful and polite.

There are three routes per day for travelers to choose, we managed to go blue & purple line within 24hours, I would strongly advise a well time planning is essential for you to finish all routes.

The disadvantage of the bus route is the bus didn't stop in front of the tourist places, e.g. Sensoji temple (Asakusa line) & Tsukiji fish market. There are about 10min walking distance, as I said, this is our first time in Tokyo, I need to remember where the bus stop is, so that I can find it after visiting the tourist places.

Besides, this is good to have Multilingual Audio Guide in English, Chinese, Korean and Japanese. However, the audio guide will suddenly switch to next introduction before ending the current one. I think this need improvement so that complete information is provided as described

I have visited Okinawa Prefecture for tourism several times in the past, but this time, I participated in the Okinawa Regular Sightseeing Bus for the first time. Considering the number of spots we visited for a day trip, I was mindful of the time for my return flight. Of course, as mentioned in the tour's guidelines, I made sure to participate with more than two hours of buffer time before my flight. The bus guide consistently reminded passengers to adhere to the sightseeing schedule, allowing us to move to the next spot with plenty of time, which was very reassuring. Thank you to the guide and the driver. If I have the chance, I would like to participate in another course as well.

過去十数回、沖縄県に観光に来ていますが今回、沖縄定期観光バスに始めて参加しました。日帰りツアーの割りには訪れるスポットが多いので帰りの飛行機の時間を気にしながら参加しましたむろん、ツアーの注意事項にありました通りに飛行機の時間は２時間以上の余裕をみての参加でした。バスガイドさんが乗客に観光時間を厳守するように毎回呼びかけて下さり、余裕をもって次の観光スポットへの移動ができて大安心な工程で周れることができました。ガイドさん運転手さん有難うございました。また、チャンスがあれば別のコースにも参加してみたいと思います。

We enjoyed a second wonderful day on our visit to Japan with our guide Taiji. After a very long day visiting Mt. Fuji, we embarked on a city tour of Tokyo by planning a more leisurely pace. Starting the day by introducing Taiji to his first "Costco experience" was a fun and relaxing way to wind down from the previous day, then we quickly got back into busy mode for the rest of the day until dinnertime. Taiji adjusted quickly on the fly to our fickle plans but managed to combine great food, sightseeing, and shopping into one full and memorable day, including extra trips back to our place to drop off some of our shopping bags! Thank you so much again for showing us a great time in Tokyo, Taiji. We will certainly be back soon!

We had a fabulous time with our guide Taiji. Not only did we luck out in mid December with nearly perfect weather that afforded us with gorgeous views everywhere of Mt. Fuji, but Taiji was able to recommend some great sightseeing as well as shopping spots to us. The highlights included an amazing visit to the kimono museum that Taiji recommended to us that included a magnificent tea room, as well as a fantastic local lunch spot that also included an amazing photo gallery upstairs with one-of-a-kind shots of Mt. Fuji. What an utterly memorable and unforgettable experience! Thank you for all of your hard work and wonderful guidance, Taiji!

The Ninja Village is a boring place with no activity. First thought of the place is a Theme Park exploring attraction. Nothing to experience with, just a young girl with Facebook frame posing as Ninja. The lunch is interesting though, but many tourists wasted food.
The trip ends after a brief site visit of Mount Fuji and a food street village. Tour guides rest and everything quiet inside the bus on return trip. No interaction among participants and no group photography session. Everyone minding their own business.

I was able to see the Jomon Sugi, which has been my dream for many years. The guide was very kind and reliable. When I inquired in advance about the lunch and what to bring on the day, they kindly responded, so I was able to participate in the tour without any worries.

長年の夢である縄文杉を見ることが出来ました。
ガイドさんはとても親切で頼もしかったです。
当日のお弁当、持ち物なども、予め電話で問い合わせたところ、親切に対応していただきましたので、何の不安も無く始めてのツアーに参加できました。

The mangrove cruise does feel a bit rushed, but I think it's good for those who don't want to paddle a canoe or don't have the stamina. The ox cart was cute with the oxen, and I enjoyed listening to the sanshin music, which made me very satisfied. The awamori gelato at the café on Yufu Island was delicious.

マングローブクルーズは駆け足感が否めませんが、カヌーに乗りたくない体力のない方や疲れたくない方には良いかと思います。
牛車は牛が可愛いし、三線も聞けて、大変満足しました。
由布島にあるカフェの泡盛のジェラートが美味しかった。

I booked this tour hoping my foreign friends would enjoy it. We visited two courses: Asakusa and Odaiba, but the Odaiba course was particularly well-received. The first stop was next to Tokyo Tower. The beautifully lit Tokyo Tower was breathtaking and even for someone living in Japan, it was moving. Since we were on a bus with a transparent upper deck, I was able to take photos of Tokyo Tower from a close-up angle, looking up at it. Additionally, we were lucky enough to see fireworks near the Rainbow Bridge. I wish we could have extended our trip to Roppongi, but there were few buses, so we had to give up. I think the illuminations in Roppongi are beautiful this time of year, so I hope the bus frequency increases a bit. Another issue was that, despite it being Saturday, the service was running on a weekday schedule. According to the staff, they had started running the same schedule all day for a while now. I found out about this on the morning of the tour and had to change my plans, so I felt it would have been helpful if this information was available on the website.

外国人の友達が喜んでくれるといいなと思い、このツアーを予約しました。浅草コースとお台場コースの２つを巡りましたが、特に好評だったのはお台場コースです。まず初めの停留所は東京タワー横。綺麗にライトアップされた東京タワーは圧巻で、日本に住んでいる私にとっても感動的でした。乗車していたのが上がスケルトンになっているタイプのバスだったこともあり、接近して見上げるような角度で東京タワーの写真を撮ることができました。また、偶然にもレインボーブリッジの脇に花火を見ることができ、ラッキーな思いもできました。六本木まで足を伸ばせたら良かったのですが、バスの本数が少なく、断念しました。六本木のライトアップも綺麗な時期だと思うので、もう少し本数が増えれば良いのになぁと思います。また、最も困った点は、土曜日だったにもかかわらず平日ダイヤで運行していたことです。担当の方いはく、少し前から終日同じダイヤで走るようになったとのこと。当日の朝そのことを知り、予定を変えなくてはいけなくなったので、HPの方にも情報が載っていると良かったなと感じました。
