All Reviews for Transport & City Passes

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.

This pass was not good value for us. We didn’t realise how little of Kyoto it covered (subways are run by a different company) and it not being able to use it in limited express trains, was inconvenient. Would have been cheaper to just use our Icoca cards and pay for each leg.

Very friendly and helpful tour guide!

An efficient and good way to see the Tokyo highlights.

We've enjoyed hop-on hop-off busses in other cities and decided to give it a try in Tokyo. There are two loops so we decided to do the longer loop (90m) and cone back the next morning for the shorter loop (60m). Your pass is good for 24 hours which is very nice. The bus we were on was not a double decker, but it has a see through roof. Unfortunately it is weathered and dull so you can see ok but it is not good for taking photos. You are given headphones and you plug into a soundtrack that narrates the trip. There are several languages to choose from. This is efficient but not very interesting. The narration directed us to look at things that were not always in our direct line of site, but rather tucked behind other buildings. We really just wanted to go for a ride and not hop off. If we'd gotten off we could see more so basically it is just a bus ride, not really a great tour. We opted not to come back the next day for the second loop.

I enjoyed the scenery that I don't usually see while mingling with foreign tourists. I had fun getting off at various stops along the Blue and Red lines.

外国観光客に混ざりながら、日頃見られない景色を堪能しました。ブルー、レッドのコースを途中下車しながら楽しみました。

I can recommend the hop on/off bus. Gives a heap way to see the city and sites.

We have enough experience with hop on hop off buses in many cities around the world and I believe that the info given during Tokyo tour could become more interesting if they talk about Japanese culture, tradition and the county it self instead of just taking when there is interesting city seen place !

The rest of the tour was music back ground

I hope the next time something could change

Regards

Best way to keep awake after trip from Europe and see as much as possible from Tokyo in short time

As promised the Hop-On Hop-Off bus made its’ way through the route, allowing us to get a sense of part of Tokyo. Unfortunately, the commentary was very stilted, and lacked history, and details. I usually enjoy getting an overview of a city on a Hop-On Hop-Off bus, but felt that we hit only a few highlights of Tokyo and the information received was less than satisfactory. The Hop-On Hop-Off offered a means to get to some places, but beyond that it was disappointing.

French language

The voice in French was recorded with an automatic and robotic voice like Google translate. It was totally unnatural.

Also, the story suddenly stopped when the bus was crossing a new building in order to explain the new building.

Please take care of non English languages guys!

It is value for money to trip in your rail loop. So comfortable and on time. Nice train and condition.

This pass is great for travel to kyoto and nara from nagoya.
We were a bit disappointed that it did not include reserved seats on express trains and we had to add money for that.

A very convenient and cheap option if want to see places of interest in kyoto, nara, osaka and the surrounding areas. Though it is a free seating, one can travel in comfort and most importantly, choose your own timing..
