All Reviews for Bus Tours

It seems that the day we participated in the tour was the first sunny day in a while, as it had been raining until the early morning. We were even able to see steam rising from the gassho-zukuri roofs. The guide also showed us some photo spots that weren't crowded, and we were able to take really great pictures that looked like posters. They gave us plenty of free time, so we could shop to our heart's content. Since there were only a few of us, we had a lot of freedom, and my friend who went with me said the lunch was amazing!

ツアーに参加した日は久しぶりの晴れだったらしく、その日の朝方まで雨が降っていて、合掌造りの屋根から上がる湯気？みたいなものも見れました。ガイドさんも人があまりいない写真スポットとか教えてくれて、本当にポスターみたいないい写真が撮れました。自由時間もたくさん取ってくれて、買い物も思う存分できました。少人数だったのでたいぶ自由にできて、一緒に行った友達はお昼ご飯が最高と言ってました笑

Although there was an incredible amount of snow due to the cold wave, we were able to go on the tour safely. Unfortunately, we couldn't climb to the observation deck in Shirakawa-go because of the heavy snow, but we enjoyed the rare sight of snow. The tour guide was humorous and spoke English, making the time on the bus enjoyable. Thank you very much. It was so cold that my feet got chilly, but the pure white world was beautiful. Next time, I would like to visit during the beautiful green season in spring!

寒波で恐ろしいほどの雪が降ったけど、無事ツアーに行けました。
大雪で　残念なことに　白川郷の展望台には登れなかったけど、普段見れない雪を堪能しました。
添乗員の方が英語も喋れるユーモアたっぷりの方で　バスの車内も楽しく過ごせました。
ありがとうございました。
足が冷たくなるくらい寒かったけど、真っ白な銀世界がとても綺麗でよかったです。
今度は　春の緑の綺麗な季節に行きたいなぁー。

This was my first time using a bus tour. I was worried about whether it would go as scheduled due to the heavy snow, but thanks to our conductor, Mr. Kuroda, and our driver, Mr. Fujihama, I was able to participate in the tour safely and comfortably until the end.

Additionally, Mr. Kuroda provided us with information that wasn't in the guidebook, allowing us to have experiences that we couldn't have on our usual trips as a couple. Furthermore, he shared interesting facts about Kanazawa during the ride, which made our exploration the next day very enjoyable. I definitely want to visit Kanazawa again.

Thank you very much for the wonderful memories you gifted us.

Every day continues to be cold, but I sincerely wish for the health and safety of Mr. Kuroda, the drivers, and all the staff.

While enjoying some rice crackers from Sasara-ya and a beer, I reminisced about our experiences...

　初めてのバスツアーの利用でした。
　大雪でスケジュール通り開催されるか不安でしたが、コンダクターの黒田様、ドライバーの富士浜様のおかげで、最後まで、安心、安全にツアーに参加することができました。
　また、黒田様からガイドブックに載っていない情報をご案内いただき、普段の二人の旅行ではできない体験をすることができました。
　更に、車中で金沢の豆知識を紹介してくださり、翌日の散策をとても楽しむことができました。
　また、ぜひ金沢を訪れたいです。

　「素敵な思い出」という宝物をプレゼントしてくださり本当にありがとうございました。
　
　毎日、寒い日が続きますが、黒田様、ドライバーの皆様、スタッフの皆様の御健康と御安全を心よりお祈りしております。

　ささらやのおせんべいをアテに、ビール片手に思い出話に花を咲かせながら。。。

The weather forecast predicted rain, but it was just enough to make it through with sleet mixed with snow, so I was glad I could go. This time, I chose a winter trip to Kanazawa and decided to visit Shirakawa-go as well, which was my first time, and since it's not often that I get the chance to go from Kyushu, I really wanted to visit. As a result, the gassho-zukuri village was beautifully covered in snow and it was amazing. Also, the lunch was filled with local cuisine and was very good.

天気予報が雨であったが、みぞれ混じりの雪でギリギリ行けて良かった。
今回、冬の金沢旅行をチョイスして、併せて白川郷も行くことにしたので初めてでもあり、九州からはなかなか行く機会ばないので是非とも行きたかった。結果、合掌集落が雪化粧していて最高だった。
また、昼食も郷土料理満載で非常に良かった。
　

It was a day with heavy snowfall, but the tour proceeded with safety as the top priority. We did not climb to the observation deck, but I think it was a wise decision since the weather was not suitable for viewing the scenery. The snow-covered gassho-zukuri houses looked just as they did in the pictures, making it feel like a time slip. Additionally, the tour guide was very personable and provided the group with flexible and accurate information to ensure we wouldn't have any issues on-site. It became a memorable bus tour.

雪の多く降った日でしたが、安全第一として催行されることとなりました。
展望台には登りませんでしたが、景色が見える天候ではないので的確な判断だと思います。
雪の積もった合掌作りの家は写真で見ていた通りで、タイムスリップしたようでした。
また、添乗員さんの人柄が良く、参加メンバーが、現地で困らないように、柔軟にかつ、知りたい情報を的確に教えてくれました。
記憶に残るバスツアーとなりました。

It was cold, but it was wonderful. The view from Deai Bridge was also nice. Because it was cold, the miso soup and soba at Hakusui-en were very delicious. I want to come back again in a different season.

寒かったけどステキでした。であい橋からの景色も良かったです。寒いから白水園さんのお味噌汁、お蕎麦とても美味しかった。季節変えてまた来たいな

The tour guide and the driver were incredibly kind and attentive.

It was my first trip to the Hokuriku region, and it was also my middle school son's first time. I was a bit worried about traveling just the two of us, but it was very impressive to see my son enjoying himself even more than I was.

The highlight seemed to be the beautiful scenery of Shirakawa-go, and thanks to a brief lecture from the tour guide on the bus about the area, my son became actively interested once we arrived, suggesting things like "Isn't that over there?" and wanting to enter the buildings. It was a great opportunity for him to learn about history and architecture, so I definitely recommend this for families with middle school and high school students!

For lunch, we had a variety of dishes including meat, fish, soba, and mountain vegetables. It was plentiful yet refreshing, and the portion sizes were just right, leaving us very satisfied. It was incredibly delicious.

In Takayama, we were able to enjoy various local foods, and the hands-on experience of making rice crackers was a first for my son, which further increased his satisfaction and made his eyes sparkle.

Overall, it was a truly enjoyable experience filled with many memorable moments, and I would love to participate again soon.

添乗員さんも運転手さんも、凄く親切で丁寧でした。

私も、中学生の息子も初めての北陸旅でした。
2人旅で少し心配でしたが、息子が私より楽しんでいたのがとても印象的でした。

1番は、白川郷の景色の良さだった様ですが、バス車内で事前に添乗員さんから、現地に関して簡単なレクチャーがあったので、現地に着いてから息子が積極的に、あっちじゃない？とか、建物に入ろう。と興味を持って自主的に動いてくれました。
歴史や、建築の勉強にもなり、ぜひ、中学生、高校生のいるファミリーの参加もお勧めします！


また、お昼ご飯は、肉、魚、そば、山菜、と盛り沢山だけれど、さっぱりとしていて、量も程よく、満足でした。めっちゃ美味しかったです。

次の飛騨高山で色々と食べ歩きもできて、最後のお煎餅の手焼き体験は、息子は初めての経験で、さらに満足度が上がって、目がキラキラしていました。

本当に、凄く楽しかったし、沢山の感動があってまたすぐ参加したいです。

I had a fulfilling experience with a packed itinerary. Even though I was the only participant, both the driver and the guide were very courteous and attentive throughout, which I really appreciated.

Shirakawa-go is simply stunning, with beautiful scenery, and the sound of the river was very soothing and healing. Mount Hakusan, known as a sacred mountain, is also impressive. I visited just before the final episode of the drama "Saiai," which made the experience even more enjoyable.

In Hida Takayama, there are many lovely shops in the old town, and I couldn't help but do some shopping. I recommend the chopsticks and the skewered Hida beef.

盛沢山の観光で充実しました。1名参加でしたが、最後までドライバーさんもガイドさんも嫌な顔一つせず丁寧に対応していただき、ありがたかったです。

白川郷は何と言っても景観が素晴らしく、川の音がとても心地よく癒されました。白山も霊山と言われるだけあって、迫力があります。丁度ドラマ「最愛」の最終回の直前に訪れたので、二重に楽しめました。

飛騨高山は、古い街並みに素敵なお店がたくさんあって、ついつい買い物をしてしまいました。お勧めは、お箸、飛騨牛の串刺しです。

The tour was wonderful, with a great description of the scenery visible from the tour guide's window and a gentle approach that wasn't too pushy!

添乗員さんの車窓から見える景色の説明や押し付け過ぎず優しい対応が素晴らしくてとてもいいツアーでした！

I wish we had a guide or tour conductor.

We explored Shirakawa-go freely, but before that, the tour conductor provided clear explanations about Shirakawa-go and how to get around, which allowed us to navigate efficiently.

I would love to visit Shirakawa-go again!

ガイドさん？添乗員さん？が良かったです。


白川郷内はフリーで回りましたが、その前にバスの中で添乗員の方が白川郷内の解説や巡り方とかわかりやすく説明してくれたので効率よく回ることが出来ました。

白川郷はもう1度行きたいですね〜

This time, I was able to efficiently travel to two places: Shirakawa-go and Gokayama. Previously, I visited Miyajima and Peace Memorial Park, including the Atomic Bomb Dome, but it took a lot of time and money, and I struggled to find the highlights. The tour planned by travel professionals made it easy to see the attractions. Additionally, I was given recommendations for gourmet spots in Kanazawa, and my wife, who accompanied me, is very satisfied as well.

今回は白川郷と何より五箇山の2ヶ所を効率良く旅行出来ました。以前は安芸の宮島と平和公園、原爆ドームんを巡りましたが時間と費用が掛かり、見所のポイントも分からず苦労しました。旅行のプロが企画したツアーはわかり易く楽に見所を見て回る事が出来ました。
それと、金沢のグルメスポットも教えて頂き同行の妻もとても満足しています。

I visited at the beginning of December, just after the autumn leaves and before the snowy scenery, on a day that changed from a little rain to some snow. There were still a few autumn leaves left, and although I prepared for it to be very cold, it wasn't too bad since there was no wind, making it a comfortable rainy day.

It takes just 75 minutes from Kanazawa, so it's not far and just right. The best part is that you can visit the viewpoint overlooking Shirakawa-go, which is not accessible to the general public, and the bus takes you right into the town. If you went by private car, you would have to walk a lot, so this was incredibly convenient!

With meals included, you can enjoy the local specialty, Hōba miso, and Hida beef, and there is plenty of time for sightseeing. If I had to give it a score of 100, the only downside would be the experience of making Shirauo senbei in Toyama Prefecture at the end. Just two thin crackers per person... After getting off the bus, they were cooked immediately, and I finished eating them right away. It was so quick that I thought it was a continuation of my dream since I had been sleeping on the bus (laughs). The experience itself was good, so even if there were about ten crackers, there would be enough time. Overall, I give it a score of 98. I hope to join the night illumination tour next time!

紅葉後〜雪景色前の１２月始めの少し
雨や少し雪に変わる日に訪れましたが
紅葉も少し残っており、さぞや寒いと準備して
行ったら風が吹いてないからかそこまででなく
居心地よい雨の日でした。

金沢から75分で着くので、
遠くなくてちょうど良く。
一番いいのは、一般では入れない白川郷が
見渡せる展望台と町の中まで
バスで連れていってくれること、
これは自家用車で行ったら散々歩くので
異常なほど楽でした！

食事付きで名産のほうば味噌と飛騨牛も
食べれますし、観光時間も十分なほど。
強いて100点でないとしたら最後富山県で
寄った白海老せんべえ焼き体験。１人薄焼２枚って…
バス降りて、すぐ焼けて、すぐ食べ終わって
一瞬すぎて、バスで寝てたので
夢の延長かと思いました(笑)
体験内容は良いので、１０枚くらいあっても
時間は十分にあるかと。
でも総評９８点です。次回は夜のライトアップツアー
行けたらいいなあと思いました

The day before the tour, it snowed, but on the day of the tour, the sun gradually came out, allowing us to see both the snow and the autumn leaves in Shirakawa-go. With so many highlights, the 1 hour and 45 minutes flew by, but I was able to fully enjoy it because I took notes on the stories shared by our guide, Kuroda. I also took many wonderful photos. On the way back, I was given recommendations for souvenirs from Kanazawa, which made it easy for me to buy them without hesitation. I would love to participate again to meet the kind-hearted Kuroda and our safe driver, Matsushima. Thank you very much.

なんとツアー前日は雪でしたが当日は次第に太陽が顔を出し、雪と紅葉の両方の白川郷を見ることが出来ました。見所満載で1時間45分はあっという間でしたが、車中でガイドの黒田さんのお話をメモしておいたので十分に満喫できました。素敵な写真も沢山撮れました。帰りはおすすめの金沢土産も教えて頂きアントで迷わずに買えました。優しい語り口の黒田さんと安心安全運転のドライバー松島さんに会いにまたぜひ参加したいです。有難うございました。

While there are some transportation options available to Wajima, it becomes difficult to go further without a car. This is a great tour that allows you to explore such remote areas. At the Wajima Morning Market, there is about an hour of free time, but since I'm not particularly interested in shopping, I visited the nearby Kamogawa and Ryūgasaki Lighthouse instead. It was nice to have the freedom to move around in that area. The weather was also good, and each spot was very beautiful, which made me satisfied.

輪島までは交通機関がある程度よういされているものの、そこから先は車がないと難しい。
そんな奥地を周れる良いツアー。
輪島朝市では、１時間くらい滞在時間があるが、買い物にはそれほど興味がないので、近くの鴨ヶ浦や龍ケ崎灯台に行った。
そのあたりの行動の自由度があってよかった。
天気もよく、それぞれのスポットはとてもきれいで満足。

The guide was very good. In addition to Shirakawa-go, they shared interesting facts about Kanazawa and the towns we passed by, and I enjoyed the scenery of the rice fields along the way. In Shirakawa-go, we visited the recommended spots suggested by the guide. The timing was just right, and I am very satisfied. The rice crackers were delicious, and I bought some as souvenirs! The return trip wasn't too late at night, and the bus ride was pleasant, making me feel that bus tours are great. Thank you!

ガイドさんがとても良かったです。白川郷以外にも金沢や通りがかった街について豆知識を話してくださり、道中の田畑の景色まで楽しめました。白川郷ではガイドさんに勧めていただいたおすすめスポットを回りました。時間もちょうどよく、とても満足しています。
お煎餅も美味しくて、お土産に買って帰りました！
帰りも夜遅くにもならないですし、バスは気持ちのいい運転でしたし、バスツアーっていいなぁと感じました。ありがとうございました！

The weather was rainy, but we were able to enjoy ourselves regardless. It was wonderful to take in the scenery of the Japan Sea at the northernmost tip of Noto. I am very grateful to the woman who guided us and to the driver's flexible responses. Thank you very much.

お天気は雨でしたが、関係なく楽しめました。
日本海、能登最北端の景色を堪能できて、とっても良かったです。
案内をして下さった女性や、運転手さんの臨機応変な対応にも感謝でいっぱいです。
有り難うございました。

The only disappointment was the rain, but everything else was great. The seafood bowl was delicious, and the view was amazing. I want to visit Noto again.

雨だけが残念で、全てがよかったです。
海鮮丼も美味しかったし、景色も最高でした。
また能登行きたいと思いました。

I was planning to go to Shirakawa-go by rental car from Kanazawa. I was worried because I was the only driver and it was in a mountainous area, but then I found this tour. Thanks to the advantages of the tour and the advice and information provided by the tour guide, Kuroda, I was able to have a more fulfilling experience than going on my own. Thank you! Personally, I thought the lunch was a bit lacking. It was delicious, but still. So, I had gohei mochi after the meal. It's important to leave enough room in my stomach for my favorite snacks with the volume of the lunch.

金沢からレンタカーで、白川郷に行く予定でした。
ドライバーが私1人なのと、山間部なのでとうしよう。。と、悩んでいた時にちょうど見つけたツアーでした。
ツアーならではの、メリットやツアコン黒田さんのアドバイスや情報提供で個人で行くよりも充実した時間を過ごせました。
ありがとうございます
個人的には、ランチが少し貧弱だったかな。美味しかったけど。
なので、食後に五平餅食べました。
自分好みのおやつを食べるお腹のキャパを残すランチのボリュームなんですね

The autumn leaves in Shirakawa-go and Takayama were wonderful to explore at a leisurely pace. The driver and guide were very pleasant, making for an enjoyable tour. I especially appreciated the guide's stories, which were interesting and enjoyable. If I have the chance, I would like to visit Shirakawa-go and Takayama in the spring as well.

紅葉の白川郷と高山ゆっくり見て回れ、大変良かったです。
ドライバー、ガイドの方大変感じが良く楽しいツアーでした。
特にガイドの方の話、面白く良かったです。
機会があれば春の白川郷、高山も行きたいと思っています。

Shirakawa-go seemed like just a calendar picture, so I didn't have high expectations, but seeing it in person felt like a time slip and was fascinating. I enjoyed drinking the recommended doburoku that the tour guide suggested, buying souvenirs (my friend bought a small basket), taking photos, and looking at old household items. The tour guide's stories on the bus were very interesting, and I learned a lot of information, which was great!

白川郷はカレンダーの景色を見るだけ⁈と思い期待していませんでしたがやはり実際に現地で見るのはタイムスリップした様で面白かった。添乗員さんが教えてくれたお勧めのどぶろくを飲んだりお土産を買ったり(友達は小さなカゴを購入)写真を撮ったり昔の生活用品を見たり〜
バスの中では添乗員さんのお話しがとても面白く色々な情報も教えて貰いとても良かった！

The weather was perfect, making it the best autumn foliage viewing experience. Although there were some people who couldn't make it and there was an accident before we got on the highway, which delayed the tour, we were able to adjust the schedule and spend our time leisurely. I did get a bit hungry, though. The lunch, featuring sweet simmered river fish, was very delicious, which was great. One downside was that I wished the price had been a little lower.

お天気にも恵まれ、最高の紅葉狩りになりました。
来られなかった人がいたり、高速に入る前に事故があったりして、ツアーが遅れたのですが、その分時間をずらして頂いたので、ゆっくりと過ごすことが出来ました。お腹は空きましたが。昼食も川魚の甘露煮がとても美味しくて、良かったです。残念な点は、もう少しお値段が安かったらなあと思いました。

Thank you for the enjoyable time with the guide's fun explanations. I appreciate it! I would love to use your services again.

ガイドさんの楽しい案内で、あっという間の時間でした。
楽しい時間をありがとうございました‍♀️
またぜひ利用させて下さいね

I participated in a day trip from Kanazawa to Shirakawa-go and Takayama. Unfortunately, it rained, and I ended up having too much free time in Shirakawa-go. However, in Takayama, I visited the existing Jinya, and the Edo period magistrate's residence exceeded my expectations. I strolled through the old town, bought delicious wagashi, sake, and miso, and before I knew it, time flew by. I wished I could have spent a little more time in Takayama. The staff was friendly, and although there were few participants, thanks to everyone, it turned into a fun solo trip!

金沢から日帰りの白川郷飛騨高山ツアーに参加しました。
あいにくの雨天で、白川郷は残念ながら時間を持て余してしまいましたが、
飛騨高山では、現存する陣屋を見学し、江戸時代の代官屋敷は期待以上の見応えでした。
古い街並み散策して、美味しそうな和菓子やお酒、味噌などを買ってあっという間に時間が過ぎてしまい、
もう少し高山でゆっくりしたかったと思いました。
スタッフもフレンドリーで、参加者も少なかったですが、皆さんのおかげで楽しい一人旅になりました！

This was a local tour that departed from Kanazawa Station at 7:20 AM and took us around the Noto Peninsula in one day. There were six participants, and we traveled by van. Before heading to the Wajima Morning Market, we first visited Chirihama, and then followed the schedule as outlined by our guide. We stopped at the main tourist spots on the Noto Peninsula, reached Cape Suzu at the tip of the peninsula, and efficiently visited about eight locations, returning to Kanazawa Station after 5 PM. At the Wajima Morning Market, we not only explored the market but also enjoyed some fugu sushi and visited the foot bath "Yurakuri" nearby. Our guide was friendly and took photos with us, provided breaks at scenic spots, and kindly gifted us with Egaramanju at the morning market. The day we participated was clear and sunny, making it a wonderful tour to experience the beauty of Noto.

朝、７時２０分に金沢駅を出発して能登半島をぐるっと巡って１日でまわる現地ツアーです。６人の参加者でバンによる移動でした。輪島朝市に行く前に先に千里浜を見て、あとは案内にあるとおりのスケジュールで巡りました。能登半島の主要な観光地に寄り、半島先端にある珠洲岬まで行き、合計８カ所くらいを効率的に見学して１７時過ぎに金沢駅に戻ってきました。輪島朝市では市場の見学だけでなく、ふぐ刺のお寿司をつまんだり、ちょっと歩いたところにある足湯「湯楽里」まで楽しめました。ガイドさんは気軽に記念撮影に応じてくれ、休憩を兼ねて見晴らしの良いところで休憩を挟んでくれ、朝市でえがらまんじゅうをプレゼントしてくれて親切な方でした。参加した日は快晴で、能登の良さを感じるツアーでした。

I visited Shirakawa-go for the first time. As others have commented, the guide was kind and attentive. They shared special photography spots with us, and on the way there, the guide not only called to correct the lunch meeting time but also came to inform us directly. I apologize for the inconvenience as I couldn't answer the phone.

The state of emergency has been lifted in various regions, but it seems that there are still not many customers, as there were about 14 participants in the tour (before COVID, there were around 40 people, half of whom were foreigners). Both Shirakawa-go and Takayama were not crowded, allowing us to explore at a leisurely pace.

初めて白川郷に行きました。他の方もコメントしていますが、ガイドさんが親切丁寧です。とっておきの撮影地点を教えてもらい、そこにいく途中、ガイドさんは昼食の集合時間を訂正するために携帯に電話するだけでなく、直接伝えに来てくださいました。電話に出られず、ご面倒をおかけしました。
各地で非常事態宣言が解除されましたが、お客さんはまだまだ少ないらしくツアー参加者は14人くらいでした(コロナ前は40人くらいいて半分が外国人だったそう)。白川郷も高山も空いていてゆっくり見てまわれました。

The guide's talk on the bus was very helpful, allowing us to effectively use our time for sightseeing at each destination. There was plenty of time to quietly enjoy the beautiful traditional landscapes of Japan. Although the weather was unfortunate, the autumn leaves were very beautiful. I'm glad I participated in this tour. It's a recommended course that avoids crowds. The infection control measures were thorough. The special experimental tour at the foot of Hakusan, available only during this season, was also very good.

ガイドさんのバス内でのお話が大変参考になって、行く先々で有効に時間を使って観光できました。時間もゆったり取ってあるので静かにゆっくり日本の原風景を楽しむことが出来ました。お天気が生憎でしたが、紅葉はとても綺麗でした。このツアーに参加してよかったです。人混みのない密を避けたおすすめのコースです。感染対策も万全でした。この時期だけ特典で申し込める白山麓実証実験ツアーもとてもよかったです

I was able to explore various places in Noto Peninsula by bus, with a delicious lunch included. We drove along Chirihama at sunset, making it the best trip. The guide's commentary was enjoyable, making it the best experience in Kanazawa. I would like to use this service again.

バスで奥能登をあちこちに回れ、おいしい昼食付き。夕陽が沈む時間に千里浜を走り、最高の旅になりました。ガイドさんの案内も楽しく最高の金沢になりました。また利用したいです。

The tour guide's talk was very good, and I enjoyed participating alone. They recommended great photo spots and souvenir shops, allowing me to successfully take pictures and buy souvenirs. Also, it was nice that hand sanitizer was provided at the bus entrance.

添乗員さんの話が大変良く、1人での参加でも楽しめました。
オススメ写真スポット、お土産屋さんを教えて頂き、無事撮影とお土産の購入が出来ました。
また、バスの入口に消毒液が設置されていたので、良かったです。

Thanks to our guide Mr. Kuroda and safe driver Mr. Nakayama, I was very satisfied as they showed us some rare filming spots!

ガイドの黒田さんと、安全運転のナカヤマさんのおかげで、レアな撮影スポットも教えてもらえて大満足でした！

The viewpoint that the guide showed us was wonderful, and we thoroughly enjoyed the autumn leaves of Shirakawa-go and the Gokayama World Heritage site. Thank you very much.

ガイドの方が教えてくれたビュースポットが素晴らしく、紅葉の白川郷、五箇山世界遺産を堪能しました。有難うございました。
