All Reviews for Bus Tours

Maa-chan, our guide, was very considerate, accommodating the few Japanese visitors even though there were many foreigners and the focus was on English. I was able to enjoy the sightseeing with peace of mind. Thank you very much.

ガイドのまぁちゃんが、外人さんが多くて英語主体でしたが、少ない日本人の対応も気遣ってくれて、安心して観光が出来ました。
ありがとうございました。

The arrival time was more than 20 minutes late, and instead of being able to stay at each location for 50 minutes, we only had about 30 minutes. This significantly reduced the benefits of taking this bus, for which we paid a high price to travel.

到着時間が20分以上遅く、50分あるはずが各場所に30分ほどしか滞在できなかったりしました。わざわざ高いお金を出して移動してるこのバスでのメリットが半減しました。

Anyway, the guide MASA was the best! He always worked efficiently with a smile, and we had a fun and safe tour without any waste. There were many foreigners, and the guidance was in English (with important parts also explained in Japanese), which added to the charm and made it enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour!

とにかくガイドのMASAさんが最高！
常に笑顔でテキパキと仕事をこなし、無駄なく楽しく安全なツアーができました。
外国人が多く、英語の案内（重要なところは日本語でも案内ありです）でしたが、それも情緒があって楽しかったです。
超オススメのツアーです。

There was an explanation in both English and Japanese, which helped with my listening skills in English. At the landmarks, we were sure to take photos, and since I participated with two friends, it was great to be able to take pictures of the three of us together.

英語と日本語での説明がありました。英語の聞き取りの勉強にもなりました。
名所では必ず写真を撮っていただき、友人2人での参加でしたが、、2人での写真が撮れて良かったです

The weather was nice, the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, and the temple against the blue sky was beautiful. It was great that we could travel by bus, store our luggage, and get close to the tourist spots. The tempura and yudofu for lunch were also delicious. It was fun to be on the same tour with foreigners, and the guide's explanations in both English and Japanese helped me understand the English expressions. The guide was cheerful, which made the experience enjoyable.

天気良く桜が満開で、お寺と青い空が美しいです。バスで回れ荷物が置けて観光地の近くまで行けて良かった。お昼ご飯の天麩羅湯豆腐も美味しかったです。外国人と同じツアーでガイドさんの英語と日本語の説明で英語の表現がわかりガイドさんも陽気な人で楽しかったです。

We participated as a family of six. There were many international visitors, and we were the only Japanese. There were two guides; the male guide was with the Japan and America group in the front row, while the female guide was with the Korea group in the back row. We acted according to our groups. Our guide provided explanations in both Japanese and English, which was very helpful. She was very kind and took many photos for us. We were able to visit four places in one day, which was very meaningful. Everything was wonderful, but personally, I thought Kiyomizu-dera and the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove were the best. We were able to have a family trip full of memories. I am grateful to our guide and the driver.

家族６人で参加しました。海外の方が多く、日本人は私たちだけでした。ガイドさんが2人おり、バスの前列は日本、アメリカグループで男性ガイドさん、後列は韓国グループで女性のガイドさんでした。グループごとで行動しました。私たちのガイドさんは日本語と英語の両方で説明して下さったのでとても良かったです。とても親切で、たくさん写真も撮って下さいました。1日で4箇所も回れてとても有意義でした。全部素晴らしいですが、個人的には清水寺と嵐山の竹林が最高でした。思い出いっぱいの家族旅行を過ごすことができました。ガイドさんと運転手さんに感謝です。

I was able to visit four places in one day, which was very meaningful. Also, the lunch was very delicious, and I was satisfied. Since I have been to Kyoto several times, I could somewhat understand, but because it was a guided tour on a sightseeing bus, I wished the explanations of the tourist spots were also in Japanese. The entire tour guide was in English. I would have liked it to be clearly stated that there would be no explanations of the tourist spots in Japanese.

1日で4ヵ所も見学できて大変有意義でした。また、昼食もとても美味しくて満足しました。
自分は何度も京都に来ているので、何とか理解できましたが、説書くの観光バスでの旅でしたから、観光地の説明は日本語でもしてほしかった。全て英語の観光案内でした。日本語の観光地説明はないと分かりやすく明記してほしかった。

There is a bus stop a little away from the tourist attractions, so I think there is a walking distance, but you can go to the places you want to visit. Unlike city buses, you can easily get around the tourist spots without getting lost. It was good that I had purchased my ticket in advance, so I didn't have to worry about not being able to get on due to it being full. If it rains, you can either ride on the first floor or get a poncho and ride on the second floor.

観光地の少し離れた場所にバス停があるから歩行距離はあると思うが、自分の行きたい所に行ける。市バスと違い、観光地回りのため迷わず行ける。前もってチケット購入している為、多くて乗れないとかがなくてよかった。雨が降ったら1階に乗るか、ポンチョをもらい2階に乗るかできる。

Since I was traveling with my mother, who has some difficulty walking, we decided to join a bus tour this time. The bus guide was very attentive and kind, which made for a wonderful travel experience. I'm glad we were able to visit various places.

足が少し不自由な母との2人旅だったので、今回バスツアーに参加しました。
バスガイドさんがとても気にかけて親切にしてくださったこともあり、楽しい旅行の思い出となりました。
色々と巡れて良かったです。

I had a great experience last time, so I applied again! There was no crowd, the scenery was beautiful, and the schedule allowed us to move just in time for the next bus while sightseeing. There were both covered (regular) buses and open buses, and the open bus made the kids very happy.

前回利用してよかったので、再度申し込みました！
混雑することもなく、景色もよく、観光してたら次のバスの時間にちょうどいいというスケジュールで動けました。
屋根付き(普通のバス)とオープンのバスがあってオープンバスは子供は大喜びでした

I was the only Japanese person, and at first, I was anxious, but with just one word from the guide, I felt reassured and had a fun day. I'm really glad I participated in this tour.

私一人日本人で、はじめは不安でしたがガイドさんの一言で安心して1日楽しく過ごせました。このツアーに参加して大変良かったと思います。

It was a tour for foreigners. The guide's English was easy to understand, and he explained Japan from a foreigner's perspective, which was educational for me as a Japanese person. It also helped me with my English pronunciation! We arrived safely at our final destination, Nara Park, but it was a pity that we couldn't make it in time for the closing hours of the Great Buddha at Todai-ji. The bus tour was convenient and enjoyable.

外国人向けのツアーでした。
ガイドさんの英語はわかりやすく外国人の視点で日本の説明をしていたので日本人として勉強になったし、わかりやすい発音で英語の勉強にもなった！最終目的地の奈良公園には無事に着いたけど東大寺の大仏の閉園時間に間に合わなかったのが残念だった。バスツアーは楽でよかった。

It was very crowded on Sunday, March 30, but the tour definitely takes you to your destination! You won't have any trouble with lunch! You can enjoy it efficiently. On the bus, the tour guide Maria provided thorough explanations, and at the end in Arashiyama, she guided those who wanted to the "Bamboo Grove." The driver was also very friendly. It was a fulfilling tour, and I had a great time!

3/30日曜日でとても混んでいたのですが
ツアーは確実に目的地に行ける！
ランチも困らない！
効率よく満喫できます。
車内では添乗員のマリアさんが丁寧に説明してくださり最後の嵐山では希望者を「竹の小径」まで案内してくださいました。
ドライバーの方も笑顔で対応してくださいました。
充実したツアーでとても楽しかったです！

The cherry blossoms still had many buds, and I think it would have been better to visit a little later, but being in touch with nature helped relieve my daily fatigue! The guide's explanations in both English and Japanese were easy to understand. Thank you!

桜はまだ蕾が多く、もう少し先が良かったと思いますが、自然に触れて日頃の疲れがとれました！ガイドさんの、英語と日本語の説明分かりやすかったです。ありがとうございました！

Each tourist spot had many foreign visitors. Even so, I thought the guide had a tough job managing the schedule. Next time, I would like to avoid the high season.

各観光地は、外国の方が多かった。
それでもスケジュールをこなし、ガイドさんは大変だと思いました。
今度はハイシーズンを避けて行きたいと思いました。

I was a bit anxious before participating in the tour to Kyoto and Nara because it was only available in English, and I don't speak English very well. However, the guide was kind and helpful, which made the experience very enjoyable. I'm glad I signed up for it.

参加日の京都、奈良に行くツアーが、英語ツアーしかなく、そんなに英語が喋れたりもしないので、参加する前は少し不安でしたが、ガイドさんが優しく、親切に対応してくれた事もあり、大変楽しく参加する事が出来ました。申し込んで良かったと思っています。

I participated with my child. There were plenty of restrooms and souvenir shops in various places, so we were able to enjoy sightseeing without getting bored.

子供を連れて参加しました。各所にトイレもお土産屋もたくさんあったので飽きずに観光することができました。

I was able to take my time and enjoy the tour. The guide provided thorough explanations in both English and Japanese, which was great. The lunch was delicious, and it was nice to feel the essence of Kyoto.

工程的にゆっくり回る事が出来た。
ガイドの方も英語と日本語で丁寧に説明され
良かった。
昼食が美味しく、京都を感じられて良かった。

I participated in a day trip tour from Osaka to Amanohashidate and the Ine Boat Houses. I think I could probably go on my own, but the tour is convenient since they take you by bus. Unfortunately, it was a cloudy day, so Amanohashidate looked a bit hazy, but it was still very beautiful. I didn't know about the Ine Boat Houses, but it's a very lovely town that you can explore in about 20 minutes. Riding the sightseeing boat and feeding the seagulls was also a lot of fun.

大阪から日帰りで天橋立、伊根の舟屋のツアーに参加しました。
自分でもおそらく行けるのだと思いますが、バスで連れて行ってくれるので、ツアーは楽です。あいにくの曇り空だったので、天橋立は少し霞んで見えましたが、でもとても綺麗でした。伊根の舟屋の存在は知らなかったのですが、とても綺麗な街で20分もあれば全てまわれます。遊覧船に乗ってカモメの餌やりもとても楽しかった。

I participated in a bus tour for the first time. It seemed to be a tour aimed at foreigners, and I was a bit nervous at first, but the guide provided information in both English and Japanese, even taking photos for us. I had a very enjoyable and fulfilling day.

初めてバスツアーに参加させて頂きました。外国人を対象とするツアーだったようで最初はドキドキでしたが　ガイドさんが英語と日本語両方で案内してくださり　写真まで撮ってくれてとても楽しい充実した1日を過ごす事が出来ました。

I appreciate the care of the tour guide. It was a very enjoyable day and became a great memory. Thank you very much.

添乗員さんのお気遣いに感謝です
とても楽しい１日になりました
良い思い出になりました
ありがとうございました

After walking over 20,000 steps each day for three days on the train and on foot, the one-day bus tour was a great experience. The tour guide took photos for us and pointed out great photo spots, leaving us with wonderful memories. During our four-day, three-night stay, we walked over 20,000 steps every day and were touched by the kindness of the people in Kyoto. The three sisters had a fun trip together.

毎日電車、歩きで2万歩以上歩いた後の3日目のバス1日ツアー、添乗員さんが写真を写して下さったり写真スポットを教えてくださり良い思い出の写真が残りました。
３泊4日毎日2万歩以上歩き京都の皆さんの優しさに触れ三姉妹楽しく旅をする事ができました。

The tour guide was wonderful, and we were able to sightsee without any stress. By chance, the bamboo grove was also not crowded, allowing us to fully enjoy winter in Kyoto.

添乗員さんが素晴らしく、ストレスなく観光できました。たまたま？竹林も空いていたので冬の京都を堪能できた。

It was great to be able to experience typical Kyoto sightseeing. The tour had about half foreigners, with explanations in both English and Japanese! It was smoother than going on our own since it included the entrance fees and lunch.

Buses are convenient since they are plentiful everywhere.

代表的な、京都観光ができるのがよかった
外国人と半々くらいのツアーで、英語と日本語の説明でした！
自分達で行くより、参拝料金やお昼ごはん付きだったのでスムーズに行けました！

どこに行っても多いので、バスが楽です

Kyoto has so many tourist spots that it's overwhelming, but I was very satisfied with being able to visit the classic locations in a compact way. Above all, it was stress-free since I didn't have to worry about transportation methods, allowing me to enjoy myself. There were also international guests with us, which made me realize that Kyoto is a global tourist destination. Communicating in my limited English is also a memorable experience. The staff member Makimiki Mikimaki was very helpful as well. Thank you very much.

京都は観光すべき場所が沢山あって目移りしてしまうのですが、定番スポットをコンパクトに巡る事が出来てとても満足です。
何より交通手段と方法に悩まなくて良いので、ストレス無く楽しむことが出来ました。
海外のお客様も一緒で、京都はグローバルな観光地なのだと再認識。拙い英語でコミュニケーション出来たのも思い出です。
スタッフのまきみきミキマキさんにも、良くして頂きました。ありがとうございました。

The guide was very considerate, and I had a great time from start to finish. The main explanation was in English, but there were also explanations in Japanese, which was not a problem at all.

ガイドさんの気遣いが良く、最初から最後まで楽しく過ごせました
メイン説明は、英語でしたが、日本語での説明もあり、苦になりませんでした

I participated alone, but the guide was kind and I had a great time. I'm glad I joined because we were able to efficiently visit the famous spots in Kyoto.

一人参加でしたが、ガイドさんも親切で楽しめました。
京都の名所が効率よく回れるので参加してよかったです。

Since I had accommodation in Osaka, it was convenient to arrive in Osaka first. The time I participated in the tour was during the hot summer days, so I was satisfied that we could travel in an air-conditioned bus and efficiently visit the main spots in Kyoto.

大阪に宿をとっていたので、大阪初着で便利でした。ツアーに参加した時期は真夏の暑い日だったので、クーラーの効いたバスで移動し、京都の主要スポットを効率よく回れたので満足です。

Thanks to our guide, Mr. Yamamoto, we had a wonderful time. There were many international visitors, and we were the only Japanese, but after the overall English-guided tour, we received individual guidance in Japanese, which doubled our enjoyment. We had no time to search for transfers or dining options, and we were able to leisurely visit four popular spots, which was fantastic. It felt like being in an overseas version of Kyoto, which was also enjoyable. Additionally, Mr. Yamamoto pointed out places that I had overlooked during my last visit, which was very nice. At first, I thought it was a bit pricey, but it turned into a wonderful memory that was worth more than the price. Thank you very much.

ガイドの山本さんのおかげで楽しい時間を゙過ごすことができました。海外の方が多く日本人は私たちだけでしたが、全体の英語でのガイドのあと個別に日本語でもガイドしていただき２倍楽しめました。乗り換えや食事処を探す時間もなく、４カ所も人気スポットをゆっくり回ることができてとても良かっです。日本なのに海外の京都という感じでこれも楽しかったです。それからガイドの山本さんには、前回来ても目に止まらず素通りしていたポイントなどもガイドしていただき、この点もとても良かったです。はじめはちっと高いかと思いましたが、値段以上に素敵な思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。

The tour guide frequently expressed feeling unwell, which made us anxious.
On our way from Kyoto to Amanohashidate, we took the wrong highway, and as soon as we exited the interchange, we had to make a U-turn in front of the toll booth and get back on the highway. This was the first time I experienced something like this while using a bus. I was worried that an accident might happen. After that, I felt uneasy. In the end, we missed the sightseeing boat at Ine's Funaya that we were supposed to take in the morning. Despite the bad weather in the evening, the bus departed without checking on the passengers left behind.
Even while driving on the highway, the tour guide was moving around the bus collecting fees for optional activities and was being called out loudly by the driver.
It seemed that the coordination between the driver and the tour guide was terrible, creating a negative atmosphere inside the bus.

＊添乗員の方が、体調不良をしきりにアピールし、こちらも不安になりました。
＊京都から天橋立へ向かう際、高速道路を間違えたとのことで、インターチェンジを降りた途端、料金所の前でUターンし、再度高速道路に乗りました。
今までバスを利用し、このようなことは初めてです。事故が起こるのでは？と
その後は不安でした。結局午前に乗る予定だった伊根の舟屋の遊覧船にも間に合いませんでした。夕方には、天気が悪かったにもかかわらず、乗客を点呼もせず残したまま出発しました。
＊高速道路を走っているにもかかわらず、添乗員の方はバスの中を移動しながらオプションの料金を集めており、ドライバーから大声で呼ばれていました。
＊ドライバーと添乗員の方の連携が最悪の様で、バスの中の雰囲気が悪かった。
