All Reviews for Transport & City Passes

On the day of sightseeing, it unfortunately rained, and we had to change our schedule. After consulting with an older driver, we canceled the kayak tour and visited Kadena Air Base, had lunch at the number one Okinawa soba restaurant, and then went to the Churaumi Aquarium, which made for a very satisfying day. I've been to Okinawa many times, but I rarely have the opportunity to visit a U.S. military base, so it was a great experience.

観光当日はあいにくの雨で、急遽スケジュールを変更。年配のドライバーさんに相談して、カヤックツアーをキャンセルして、嘉手納空軍基地の見学、沖縄NO.１の沖縄そば屋で昼食、そして美ら海水族館に行き、大満足の一日でした。沖縄には何回も来ていますが、なかなか米軍基地を見学する機会はないので、とても良い体験ができました。

In addition to the destinations I requested in advance, you took me to recommended places and stopped the car along the way to show me breathtaking spots, allowing me to enjoy Okinawa even more. You shared knowledge that I wouldn't have known if I had gone on my own, and I am truly grateful for that. You picked me up at the designated location early in the morning and were flexible, which was a great help for me since I'm not good at driving. I was able to fully enjoy Okinawa over the three days. I am really thankful to the driver who took care of me. Thank you very much.

事前にお願いした目的地以外にも、オススメ場所を連れて行って下さったり、途中で車を停めて絶景スポットを見せて下さったりしていただいて、沖縄をより満喫出来ました。
自分達で行っていたら知りえない知識も教えて下さって、本当に感謝です。
早い時間に指定場所にお迎えに来ていただけたり、融通をきかせてもらって、運転が苦手な私にとって本当に助かりました。
3日間でたっぷり沖縄を満喫することができました。
担当してくださった運転手の方には本当に感謝です。ありがとうございました。

We toured from the hotel in Onna Village to Kouri Island → Nakijin Castle Ruins → Bise Fukugi Tree Lane → Churaumi Aquarium (a 7-hour course). Thanks to the driver's advice, we were able to stop at photo spots and take pictures, which was really great. At the sightseeing locations, he would say things like, "You should check this out!" which made for a very satisfying tour. When I requested to stop by a supermarket on the way back, he looked it up and took me there. Unfortunately, the supermarket was closed that day, but he kindly took us to the Michi no Eki Kyoda instead, where we could buy souvenirs and local ingredients, which was very much appreciated.

恩納村のホテルから古宇利島→今帰仁城跡→備瀬のフクギ並木→美ら海水族館を観光しました。（7時間コース）運転手さんのアドバイスで写真スポットでわざわざ車を止めて頂き、写真を撮る事が出来とても、良かったです。観光場所でも、こういうのがあるから見たら良いよ！とか言ってくれて、とても満足がいく観光ができました。帰りにスーパーに寄ってほしいとお願いしたら、調べてくれて行ってくれました。スーパーは、残念ながらその日は、やってなかったんですが、急きょ道の駅　許田に寄ってくれて、お土産や地元の食材を購入でき、これまたとてもありがたかったです。

I requested a tour of the Okinawa battle sites in Yomitan Village. Because a local person guided us, we were able to visit all the sites, and along the way, they shared stories about the battle and their personal experiences related to it. This made for a much deeper learning experience about the Okinawa battle than I had anticipated. It became a valuable opportunity that cannot be measured by price. Thank you so much to our guide!!

読谷村の沖縄戦跡をリクエストして案内いただきました。
地元のかたが案内するからこそ、すべて訪ねることができ、道すがらにガイドや沖縄戦にまつわるご自身のお話もしてくださったことによって、予想を遥かにこえて、沖縄戦を深く学べた時間でした。
値段では計れない大切な機会となりました。
ガイドさん、本当にありがとうございました！！

The driver was very kind, and the guidance was thorough, which was great. The taxi also had partitions, and proper infection control measures were in place, allowing us to enjoy sightseeing with peace of mind. Thank you very much.

親切な運転手さんでガイドもしっかりしてくれて大変よかったです。タクシーの中も仕切りもあり感染対策もしっかりとられて安心して観光を楽しみました。ありがとうございました。

I was picked up at the airport by a cute Hello Kitty taxi (there are only a few of them), which really boosted my spirits (^o^).

The five-hour course included the airport → Kyoda Road Station → Kouri Island → supermarket → hotel in Motobu. The kind female driver was very accommodating, even responding politely to my request to take a picture of the white flowers I saw earlier. She took me to a large local supermarket where I was able to buy unique Okinawan ingredients, allowing me to enjoy Okinawan cuisine every day (since it was a self-catering accommodation).

Why didn't I give it the highest rating? It was because of the downpour during the rainy season, which forced us to give up on visiting Nakijin Castle ruins ^^; I will definitely ask for this service again next time and seek a do-over!

かわいいキティちゃんのタクシー(数台しかない)で空港に迎えに来てくれて、テンションアップ(^o^)

５時間コースで、空港→許田道の駅→古宇利島→スーパー→本部のホテル。
親切な女性ドライバーさんで、「さっき見た白い花の写真を撮りたい」なんていう要望にも丁寧に対応してくれました。
スーパーも地元の大きな店に連れて行ってくれて、沖縄独特の食材を買うことができたので、毎日沖縄料理を楽しめました(基本自炊の宿なので)。

なぜ最高の評価にならなかったか?
それは梅雨のスコールのような雨で、今帰仁城跡観光を断念したから^^;
次の機会にはまたお願いして、リベンジします❢

A car is essential for traveling in Okinawa, but since I wanted to enjoy a trip with drinks and I’m basically a paper driver, we opted for a charter instead of driving ourselves. We efficiently visited all the places we wanted to go, such as Kouri Island, the Churaumi Aquarium, and Orion Happy Park, managing to see everything even with limited time. At Nakijin Castle Ruins, our driver, Mr. Ishikawa, provided explanations of the highlights, took photos at various scenic spots, and recommended great supermarkets and delicious dining options. Thanks to him, our trip became so much more enjoyable! His safe driving even allowed me to doze off a bit during the last part of our travels, so I was able to rest properly (laughs). I’ve completely become a fan of Okinawa! I would definitely like to request this service again for my next trip.

沖縄旅行は車必須ですが、お酒を飲む旅にしたかったのと、そもそもペーパードライバーなので自分たちで運転する選択肢は無くチャーターをお願いしました。古宇利島や美ら海水族館、オリオンハッピーパークなど、行きたかった場所を効率よく回っていただき、時間があまりない中でもお目当ての場所に一通り行くことができました。今帰仁城跡では見所の説明もしていただいたり、撮影スポットでは都度写真を撮って下さったり、オススメのスーパーや美味しい食事処を紹介していただいたりと、ドライバーの石川さんのおかげで旅行が何倍も楽しくなったと思います！安全運転だったので最後の方の移動中はついうとうとしてしまい、ちゃんと休息もできました笑　すっかり沖縄ファンになってしまいました！次回の旅行の際にもまたぜひお願いしたいです。

The three routes with hop-on, hop-off flexibility are convenient. The timetable in the brochure also includes the times for connecting routes, which was great for me as I wanted to explore various routes. In other countries, there are often designated transfer points along with the departure points, but here, only the starting and ending points are common, which is somewhat inconvenient. Additionally, the audio guide switched to the next section mid-explanation, and the content was lacking, which was disappointing.

３つのルート、乗り降り自由なのは便利。
パンフレットの時刻表に乗継可能な別ルートの時間も記載されていて、いろんなルートを乗りこなしたいワタシには嬉しい運用でした。
他の国では他のルートと出発地点だけではなくどこかで乗継可能な地点が設定されていることが多いのですが、こちらは始発・終点だけが共通なので微妙に不便。
また、オーディオガイドも説明の途中で次に切り替わったり、内容も薄かったりでそのあたりが残念でした。

After consulting with the local staff, I learned that riding the Blue Course after 5 PM allows you to enjoy the night views. So, I followed the staff's recommendation and enjoyed a full day of bus travel in the order of Red Course → Green Course → Blue Course. I've been living in Tokyo for a few years now, but seeing the cityscape from the bus always brings new discoveries, and it was a lot of fun. The Red Course is great for first-time visitors as it includes famous tourist spots like Tokyo Skytree and Asakusa. Personally, the night view of Tokyo Tower from the Blue Course was the most impressive; it was incredibly beautiful and moving. I had such a great time that I want to ride it again when friends from the countryside come to Tokyo!

現地のスタッフと相談したら、午後5時以降にブルーコースに乗ると夜景を楽しめるということだったので、レッドコース⇨グリーンコース⇨ブルーコースというスタッフの勧めた順番で一日中バス旅を楽しめました。東京にはもう数年前から住んでいますが、やっぱりバスの上から街並みを見ると色々な発見があり、とても楽しかったです。レッドコースは東京スカイツリーや浅草等の有名な観光地を見られるので、東京を初めて訪ねる人にはとても良いコースだと思います。個人的には、ブルーコースで見られた東京タワーの夜景が1番印象的で、とても綺麗で感激しました。すごく楽しかったので、地方からお友達が東京に来たら、もう一度乗りたいと思っています！

On the Blue Course, I was able to look up at Tokyo Tower from directly below and enjoy a 360-degree view from Rainbow Bridge. On the Red Course, I looked up at Tokyo Skytree from directly below, crossed the Sumida River, got off at the Ueno Station bus stop, enjoyed cherry blossom viewing in Ueno Park, and then returned.

The weather was nice, and the open-roof breeze was refreshing, making for a very luxurious day. The bus operated almost on schedule, which was convenient for transfers.

However, when getting on the bus from a different stop than where I got off, it was difficult to find the bus stop, so having a bus stop map would be helpful. Additionally, the seats on the first bus in the morning were a bit wet from yesterday's rain, so I would have appreciated more attention to that detail.

Aside from those two points, everything was excellent. Thank you very much.

ブルーコースでは、東京タワーを真下から見上げ、レインボーブリッジから360度の景色を堪能できました。レッドコースでは、スカイツリーを真下から見上げ、隅田川を渡り、上野駅バス停で降りて上野公園の桜のお花見をして、戻りました。
天気が良く、オープンルーフの風が爽快で非常に贅沢な1日を過ごせました。
バスはほぼ定刻通りに運行している点も、乗換には便利でした。
途中で降りたバス停と違うバス停から乗る場合、バス停が探しにくかったので、バス停地図があるとなお良いと思いました。
また、朝一番のバスの座席が昨日の雨で少し濡れていたので、そこまで気を配っていただけたらと思いました。
その2点以外は、最高でした。
ありがとうございました。

I thought it would be difficult to travel around Tokyo by train, so I purchased this bus ticket. I only visited Tokyo Tower and Senso-ji Temple & Kaminarimon, but I also enjoyed the views from the bus ride.

東京で電車移動での観光は難しいと思って、このバスチケットを購入しました。観光したのは東京タワーと浅草寺＆雷門だけだったけど、バスでのドライブの車窓も楽しめました。

I participated in both the Odaiba course and the Asakusa course, and I was blessed with good weather, enjoying a wonderful time. I boarded the Odaiba course departing from Tokyo Station, returned to Tokyo Station in about an hour, and then took the Asakusa course. After having lunch in Asakusa, I explored the area and then returned to Tokyo Station on the circular bus. Touring the sights from the higher vantage point of a double-decker bus with an open roof is a unique experience, and I highly recommend it to those who haven't tried it yet.

お台場コースと浅草コースの両方に参加しお天気に恵まれ楽しい時間を過ごしました。東京駅を出発するお台場コースから乗車し1時間程度で東京駅に戻り、その後に浅草コースに乗り浅草で昼食を食べてから浅草観光し、浅草から再度循環バスで東京駅まで戻りました。天井が開いている2階建てバスで通常の車より高い目線で名所を巡り、まだ体験していない方にはお勧めです。

This was a great way to get to know Tokyo, You will get to see places that you would't do it just by traveling by train. The staff was very friendly and they were always open to provide as much information as needed, they were awesome! I highly recommend this bus to get to know Tokyo.

This was a great way to see Tokyo. My wife and I firstly went on the red route which took us to the north of the city. That tour lasted well over an hour and showed several of the districts as well as major visitor attractions like the Skytree Tower.

We then had a quick lunch before going on the blue route. This took us to the south . Slightly shorter than the red route the blue route also showed you much of the city. The highlight for me was going over the Rainbow Bridge and getting a great view of Tokyo harbour.

The commentary on the bus was informative and easy to understand. The staff were all incredibly polite and helpful. I would heartily recommend this bus tour.

It was a great experience.The bus driver was very good and well caring.He knows the city well. The prerecorded information was in different language and well detailed. Its definitely worth the price and worth doing. Five star all the way.

Get it if you are staying at Kyoto or Osaka and wish to travel to Nara.
It drops you off right outside Nara park.
It is much more centrally located than JR.
Good value too!
We made good use of the tourist buses

Bus easy to find, coming on time. The translator should be improved. Its good to try before The Tokyo visting to recognize the most interesting places or to correct the plan of The Tokyo exploration

My wife and I did the 24 hour tour... and this is a "must" in visiting Tokyo, specially if visit in the city is short.
It will give you an overall view of the city and then choose the places you should like to spend more time. The tour gives you the opportunity to hop off and hop in in different stations.
We did the Red tour first and finished this and immediately hopped in to the Blue tour. The Red gives you the chance to see the popular and the contrast with the glamour sites of the city. Blue takes you to the Minato, Ginza and the Financial district...it is amazing!!! At 6pm we did again theBlue tour to see the glamour of the city and the Tokyo Bay at night.
Sky Bus is an amazing experience specially for first visitors to Tokyo!!
Don´t miss it !!!!!

All is great. Just wanted to suggest if you can stay a bit for 5-8mins in tokyo tower to take a decent photo just like skystree stop.

My partner and I did the both red and blue lines and we enjoyed a lot , nevertheless we missed to visit some of other Southern neibourghoods.
Explications are very complete and fine although sometimes are not at the accurate time, but overall it was an amazing experience and the attending people was lovely so I recommend to everyone wants to visit Tokyo in a touristic bus! ;-)

Best value for getting around in Kansai region. Good price, nice routes, the bus passes is really what sets this apart though.

Got to use the bus in Nara but didn’t use train at all since no coverage west Kyoto

Awesome pass. Got us from Nagoya to Ise on trains. Then all around Toba area, buses and trains, then also to Nara by train. Really good value pass if you're doing a compact 5 day trip to the Mei area.

After I have ordered this pass online and I made 1 amendment online immediately. However, when I approached the ticket counter for collection, the System cannot recognise my order. Staff spent half an hour to issue a pass for me.

Nice njoyble journey in double decker bus at Tokyo.......had fun

Kintetsu Rail Pass is a good choice if you travel bigger distances within the Kyoto/Nara/Osaka region. For example from Kyoto to Asuka.

I only have one complain. I thought I would get nice looking ticket as advertised (2-day pass in my case) but in reality when I picked up the ticket at Kyoto station, I only received a regular blue/turquoise ticket like all the other JR tickets.

It covers a lot of sightseeing point. Station staffs are helpful with English communication is not a problem. Easy to access, not a complicated network. Base on this ticket, you can pay more for a faster train, so it is flexible on you budget vs. time.

One word... PERFECT!!!
In the Netherlands ordered on internet
Activated in Japan and travelled five days by train

2 days travelling with this pass..every thing was perfectly arranged ..no need for nothing extra to ask..thank you!

Even without speaking any Japanese the passes where easy to pick up. Handed them the QR code and they gave us our passes.
