All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

I visited Osaka for the first time in my 60s. I felt strongly that it is indeed a city with a rich history, both from what I had seen on TV and from the guide's explanations. I was impressed by the wonderful stone walls of Osaka Castle, which I didn't know much about before. My friend and I talked about taking our time to explore Osaka Castle next time. I hope that the historical heritage, as well as the new developments, will be cherished in Osaka, and I would love to visit again. Although the sun was a bit hot, I enjoyed the double-decker bus while feeling the seasonal breeze. I definitely want to come back during cherry blossom season.

60代で初めて大阪観光しました。TVで見ていた大阪の通りだと思うところと、ガイドさんの説明で、やはり歴史ある街であることを強く感じました。
大阪城の石垣のことはあまりよく知りませんでしたが、素晴らしい石垣に感動しました。
友人と今度は"大阪城をじっくり見よう"とはなしました。
新しい開発だけでなく、歴史的遺産も多くある大阪の部分を是非大切にしてほしいですし、また遊びに来たい大阪です。
ちょっとお日様が暑かったですが、季節の風を感じながらの2階建てバスは楽しかったです。
桜の季節も是非来てみたいです。

I went this weekend. The weather was great, almost too hot, but the scenery was amazing, and the guide's rare stories were enjoyable. This time I went with my coworkers, but I thought I would like to bring my family next time.

週末行ってきました。天気良くて暑すぎる位でしてが、景色も最高、ガイドさんのレアなお話も楽しかった。今回は仕事場の人達と伺いましたが、次回家族も連れて乗せたいなと思いました。

The Namba route was fully booked, so we took the Umeda route. The sunlight was stronger than I expected, and I needed a hat. The bus was spacious, beautiful, and stylish, which made the kids very happy. Next time, I want to try the Namba route.

なんばルートは満席だったため、うめだルートで、思っていた以上に
日差しが強く帽子が必要でした。
開放的でキレイでかっこいいバスで子供も大喜びでした。
今度はなんばルートに行ってみたいです。

A trip to Kyoto with my 85-year-old mother after 30 years! It started raining in the morning, and since my mother has some knee concerns, I asked the tour guide at the meeting point about the elevator at Fushimi Inari Taisha, which was mentioned in the brochure. They were very attentive and helpful all the way to the shrine! Thank you so much for your support in such terrible rain!

I also appreciate the care shown by the tour guide who took over later regarding my mother! Thank you, Tamiya and Rin. My mother is grateful as well!

During the bus ride, there was a lot of information packed in, including explanations of history using photos until the next stop!

85才の母と30年ぶりの京都旅！朝から雨に始まり、膝に不安があるので、伏見稲荷大社にエレベーターがあるとパンフレットに記載があり、集合場所の添乗員さんに質問!その後稲荷大社までいろいろと気にかけて頂き、とても助かりました!ヒドイ雨の中本当にありがとうございます!!
その後も引き継いた添乗員の方も母の事の気遣いに感謝しています!
タミヤさん、りんさん、ありがとうございます
母も感謝してましま!
バスの移動中は、写真を使ったりして次の歴史の説明までいろいろな情報満載でした!

I joined right after arriving in Osaka. I was impressed by the powerful panoramic views that are hard to see elsewhere. The last highway felt like an attraction and was the best part!

大阪に着いてすぐに参加。
そしてなかなか見ることのできない迫力あるパノラマ風景に感激。最後の高速はアトラクションのようで最高でした！

Thank you for the safe driving and the cheerful guide! When we arrived at the tourist spot, they took us directly to the points of interest, so we didn't get lost.

安全な運転と明るいガイドさんに感謝！
観光地に到着するとポイントの場所まで連れて行ってくださるので迷うこともありませんでした。

The tour included a comfortable transfer to Inari Shrine via JR, followed by a bus ride, making the travel very easy. However, I felt it was somewhat unkind that there was no explanation provided despite the time being slightly tight. On the other hand, the guide was very kind and attentive to each group, which was impressive. While the explanations about the destinations were clear in both English and Japanese, there were moments when it was difficult to hear the guide, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, I had a satisfying trip and would like to use this service again.

　稲荷神社まではツアーでJRによる移動、その後はバス移動で非常に楽々な移動でした。ただ、時間配分が若干押しているにも関わらず、説明が無かったことがやや不親切に思われました。また、ガイドさんは非常に親切で一組一組に寄り添われていたのは印象的でした。ただ、目的地に関しては英語と日本語での説明で分かりやすかったものの、声が聞きづらい点もあり、その点だけ惜しいと思いました。
全体的に満足の行く旅行ができましたのでまた利用させて頂きたいです。

It was raining on the day of the event. Walking for a long time in the rain is tough. It would have been better if there were options for those who don't want to walk much. (I walked over 20,000 steps in one day.) The tour guide was from Taiwan and was fluent in three languages, which I thought was impressive.

　当日は雨でした。雨のなか長い時間歩くのはきついです。あまり歩きたくない人向けの対応策があれば、もっと良かったです。（1日で２０，０００歩を超えました。）添乗員は台湾出身とのことで3か国に通じ、レベルは高かったと思います。

The sunlight is strong, so a hat is essential. For seated photography, there are no windows, but there is a transparent board, and since the photos are taken through it, the finished pictures unfortunately show reflections from this side of the board. Be careful of reflections on sunny days.
I didn't know there would be a bus guide, so I thought 1500 yen was a great deal to hear detailed explanations.

日差しが強く帽子は必須です。座っての撮影は、窓はないけど、透明なボードがあり、それ越しに撮るので、できあがった写真はこちら側がボードに反射して写ってる写真で残念でした。天気の良い日は反射に注意です。
バスガイドさん付とは知らなかったので詳しい説明を聞きながらで1500円はお得だと思いました。

It was my first time in Kyoto, so I used a tour. Besides my husband and me, everyone else was foreign. At first, I thought it felt like the Japanese were saying, "You should go on your own!" but the content was very good and enjoyable. The Kyoto tofu meal, which received quite a bit of criticism, was also very delicious. The foreigners around us seemed to not know how to eat it. My husband and I were stared at a lot.

I had some anxiety about traveling by train, but it was very easy to understand, so we were able to return to Kyoto safely. What I didn't like was the perfume of the foreign guests. The smell on the bus... it's something we can't help. The bus rides were short, and I thought the sightseeing time was just right. Thank you for your help.

初めての京都でしたので、ツアーを利用しました。私たち夫婦以外は外人さんだけでした。初めは日本人は自力で行けよ！と言う感じかと思いましたが、内容はとても良くて楽しめました。わりと酷評だった京豆腐御膳もとても美味しかったです。周りの外人さんは食べ方が分からないのでしょうね。私たち夫婦はガン見されました。
電車移動の不安はありましたが、とても分かりやすかったので無事に京都に戻ることが出来ました。嫌だったのは外国の方の香水でしょうか？バスの中の匂い…仕方ない事ですね　バスでの移動も短い時間ですし、見学の時間もちょうどいいと思いました。お世話になりました。

I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Kyoto. One area for improvement is the timing information. I rushed through Fushimi Inari and arrived at the meeting point only to find that the bus was delayed by about 30 minutes. If I had received a call on my mobile a bit earlier, I could have explored deeper into Fushimi Inari. Also, I would appreciate a recommendation to wear masks while on the bus.

京都を満喫しました。改善点は、時間案内。伏見稲荷を早足で回り、待合せ場所に到着したら、バスの遅れで約30分後ろ倒しになりました。早めに携帯に連絡もらえたらもう少し伏見稲荷の奥まで行けました。あと、車中はマスクを推奨してほしいです。

The weather was great, and we had the best time sightseeing in Kyoto! Since we could always find seats on the bus, we enjoyed the full day of sightseeing without getting tired. The tour guide was kind and provided us with a lot of information, making it more meaningful than exploring on our own. Lunch and admission fees were included, which made it feel like a great deal. I would love to join another tour!

お天気も良く最高の京都観光が出来ました！バスの中では必ず座れるので、1日観光でも疲れずに楽しめました。添乗員さんは優しく色々教えて下さり自分たちで回るより有意義でした。昼食も拝観料も込みなのでとってもお得感がありました。別のツアーにも参加したいです！

The tour itself was very good. The guide's announcements were polite and easy to understand. However, I couldn't find the bus stop at Northgate, and both the taxi driver and hotel staff, as well as the security guard, said they didn't know where it was, which made me anxious about being on time.

ツアー自体はとても良かったです。ガイドアナウンスも丁寧でわかりやすかったです。
でもノースゲイトというバス乗り場の場所が分からなくて、タクシーの運転手もホテルのスタッフも警備員にもわからないと言われて、時間に間に合わないかと焦りました。

I wish the free time at Kiyomizu-dera was a bit longer. The announcements inside the pass were not audible towards the back. I had a great time.

清水寺フリー時間がもう少し長く。パス内でのアナウンスが後ろの方まで聞こえなかったです。とても楽しかったです

Touring in a short schedule... I struggled to decide. Everywhere was crowded, and I don't think I could have done the same sightseeing using public transportation. 😊

短い日程での観光…悩んで決めました。どこも人で溢れ、公共機関では同じ観光はできなかったと思います(^^)

Due to an input error with my address, I was able to make a reservation, but I did not receive a confirmation email. When I consulted via email, they considered my situation and provided appropriate instructions for handling it. I was able to board without any issues, which was a relief.
On the day of the trip, the weather was nice, there was no traffic, and the explanations about the redevelopment of Midosuji and the temple town were interesting and left a lasting impression.
Thank you very much. I had a great time.

　アドレスのインプットミスにより、予約は出来たが返信メールが届かず、対応をメールで相談した所、検討いただき適切な処理方法を指示いただきました。無事に乗車ができ、安心しました。
　当日は天気が良く、渋滞もなく、御堂筋の再開発の説明，寺町の説明は面白く印象に残りました。
有難うございました。楽しかった。

I had a short stay and couldn't take my time to look for souvenirs. I wanted to try some sweets too. The Kyoto cuisine was very delicious. However, it seemed that the foreign guests at the next table left quite a bit of food. You can also enjoy food tours, so maybe consider the meal plan? Isn't it a bit too extravagant?

滞在時間が短くて、ゆっくりお土産を探す事が出来なかった。スイーツ等、食べたかったな〜。京料理はとても美味しかったです。でも、隣の席の外国人の方は、結構、残されてたようでした。食べ歩きも出来るし、食事付きプランは、内容を検討されてみては？豪華過ぎでは？

The view of Osaka from the open bus, filled with refreshing greenery, is quite enjoyable. I relaxed and appreciated the sense of openness and bright sunshine while taking in the cityscape of Osaka. The price and duration are reasonable as well. I recommend the double-decker open bus, which offers various seasonal experiences and routes.

爽やかな緑の溢れる眺める、オープンバスから眺める大阪は、なかなか楽しいです。開放感と明るい陽射し、大阪の街並みをゆったり楽しみました。時間と値段も手頃です。季節折々の楽しみ方や、コースもある二階建てオープンバスはおすすめです。

This is my second time in Osaka, and choosing this way to explore the city is just fantastic. The explanations along the way were very detailed (it would be even better if there were guided devices). The selection of attractions was very insightful, and during this one hour, I was never bored. I gained a lot from this experience.

這是我第二次來大阪 選擇這樣的方式在大阪觀光 真是太棒了 一路上講解細心(如果有導覽機更好) 景點挑選的很精闢 在這一個小時內 完全不會無聊 收穫非常豐富

This time, we used the opportunity to celebrate my wife's birthday. It was like a relay from Fushimi Inari to Kiyomizu Temple, then to Kinkaku-ji, and finally to Arashiyama. I was particularly moved by the thousand torii gates and the bamboo grove. It had been a long time since my school trip to Kyoto, and I was really looking forward to it, and it met my expectations. Additionally, with the easing of COVID restrictions, many visitors from abroad joined us, and I was very satisfied with the dual experience of sightseeing and conversation. I'm excited about the next time when I can enjoy the autumn leaves. Lastly, the guide's conversations were truly enjoyable, as expected from someone from Kansai.

今回は奥様の誕生日祝いを兼ねて利用させていただきました。京都黄金リレーみたいな､伏見稲荷からの清水寺～金閣寺～嵐山のリレー。特に千本鳥居と竹林には感動しました。京都観光は修学旅行依頼でもあり､とても楽しみにきており期待通りでした。また、コロナ制限も緩和され訪日のお客様も多数同行され､観光&会話を楽しめた二刀流に満足度マックス。このつぎは紅葉を楽しめたらとワクワクします。最後にガイドさんの会話もさすがに関西、楽しかった。

It was a beautifully sunny season with cherry blossoms in full bloom. The weather was pleasant, and the guide's sightseeing information was easy to understand. It was a fun time seeing the iconic spots of Osaka! If I had to be picky, one hour wasn't enough, and I wanted to stay longer!

とてもよく晴れた桜満開の季節。気候的にも気持ちよく、ガイドさんの観光案内も分かりやすく、大阪と言えば！！の場所を見る事ができて楽しい時間でした。欲を言えば、１時間じゃ足りず、もっと乗っていたかった！

I live in the Osaka area, so I know where the buildings are. However, when it comes to exploring, it was difficult, and I just passed by them. Thanks to the guide accompanying us, I was able to learn a lot of things. Even though it was raining and the bus roof was closed, I can say that I still had a great time despite the rain. I was considerate of my seniors and colleagues during the tour, but everyone was very happy.

大阪圏内に住んでいますが建物がどこにあるかは知っています。しかし見て周るとなると無理があり、ただただ通り過ぎていました。
ガイドさん同行の為いろんなことが知ることが出来ました。雨降りでバスの天井は閉まったままでしたが逆に言えば雨降りでも十分楽しめました。
先輩、同僚の面々で行きツアーに気を使っていましたが皆とても喜んでいました。

I live in the Osaka area, so I know where the buildings are. However, when it comes to exploring, it was impossible for me to do it alone. Thanks to the guide accompanying us, I was able to learn many things. Even though it was raining and the bus roof was closed, I can say that I still had a great time despite the rain.

I participated from Kyushu, and it was my first time at Kyoto Station, which was large and difficult to find the meeting place. I finally figured it out after checking with people around me.
About 80% of the participants were foreigners, and the guide efficiently provided information in both English and Japanese, which seemed challenging, but I felt reassured and was able to participate comfortably.
We visited Kyoto's famous sites in one day, and since most of the travel was by bus, we could smoothly reach our destinations and had a fulfilling day.
If I have another opportunity, I would like to participate in other plans as well.

九州からの参加でしたが、京都駅が初めてで広く、集合場所が分かりづらかったです。周囲の方に確認してようやく分かりました。
参加者の8割が外国の方で、ガイドの方が英語、日本語とテキパキと案内され、大変そうでしたが、安心して参加出来ました。
京都の名所を1日で廻り、ほとんどバス移動なので、スムーズに目的地に行けて、充実した1日を過ごすこてが出来ました。
また機会があれば、他のプランで参加してみたいと思います。

It was my first family trip to Kyoto, and I was glad that we arrived at our destinations smoothly without getting lost during the bus transfers. Occasionally, the guide changed, but they were very kind and attentive, which made me feel at ease. We were able to visit all the sightseeing spots in one day, but since the COVID situation has settled down, there were many other tourists at the spring attractions. Because of that, we couldn't take our time sightseeing, and if we have another opportunity, I would like to join other plans as well. It was great that even small children could participate without any difficulty.

初めての京都家族旅行でしたが、バス移動で迷わずスムーズに目的地に到着出来たので良かったです。
時々、担当のガイドの方が変わられることがありましたが、とても親切丁寧で安心できました。
行きたい観光地を1日で廻ることができましたが、コロナが落ち着き、春の観光地は他の観光客も多かったです。そのため、ゆっくり観光ができず、また機会があれば、他のプランにも参加したいです。
小さな子供でも無理なく一緒に参加できて良かったです。

This was my first time participating. I chose this plan to visit many famous tourist spots in Kyoto in one day. Since Kyoto Station is large and it was my first time there, I got a bit lost trying to find the meeting place. About 90% of the participants were from abroad, so the guide alternated between English and Japanese during the tour. The guide provided very detailed explanations of the tourist sites, which was educational. I felt reassured participating because the guide was efficient and very courteous.

初めて参加させて頂きました。有名な京都の観光地を沢山廻りたかったので、1日で巡るこのプランを選びました。
京都駅は広く初めてだったので、集合場所にたどり着くのに迷いました。参加者の9割が外国からの参加者だったので、ガイドの方は英語、日本語と使い分けて案内されてました。観光地をとても詳しく説明して頂いたので、勉強になりました。ガイドの方がテキパキとそして丁寧な対応をされたので安心して参加できました。

Since it was the cherry blossom season, I participated in the Kitaueda route. I was really looking forward to going around the Mint Bureau, but we only passed by the gate (>_<). I was quite disappointed given my expectations. On the other hand, the view at Osaka Castle was very nice, and we had plenty of time to stop and take photos, so I was satisfied. The guide's explanations were also thorough and enjoyable. Although the COVID-19 pandemic has somewhat subsided, I still hesitate to enter crowded places, so sightseeing on the open bus was very good.

桜の開花時期だったので北梅田ルートに参加しました。
造幣局を回るということでとても楽しみにしていましたが、門の前を通っただけ(>_<)
期待をしていただけに、とても残念でした。
その代わりというか、大阪城での景色はとても良く、停車して写真タイムも十分にとってあったので満足しています。
ガイドさんの案内も、丁寧で楽しめました。
コロナ禍が多少過ぎたとは言え、人混みに入るのはまだまだためらいがあるので、オープンバスでの観光はとても良かったです。

On the day of the tour, I was worried about the bad weather and the use of the rental raincoats (as mentioned in the pamphlet), but to my surprise, there was a retractable roof, so I could enjoy sightseeing without worrying about the rain. However, it was a bit disappointing that there was no sense of openness, but the guide was considerate and opened the roof during breaks in the rain, allowing us to experience the panoramic views for a short while. I thought this kind of consideration was great. Thank you very much.

当日は天気が悪く貸出用のレインコート（パンフに記載）使用かと心配しましたが何と開閉式の屋根があり雨の心配もなく観光出来ました。だだ解放感がないのは残念でしたがガイドの方が雨の合間をみて屋根を開けて頂き少しの間ですがパノラマ観光の雰囲気を感じる事が出来ました。このような配慮は良かったと思います。ありがとうございました。

Everyone who participated was from Osaka, totaling five people. My husband and I moved to the Kanto region nearly 50 years ago after getting married, so it was our first time sightseeing in Osaka in 50 years. Even though I lived in Osaka, there were places I hadn't visited, and some areas have become very beautiful, so it was a fun experience with new discoveries.

大阪出身の者ばかりの参加でした。総勢5人。私達夫婦は50年近く前に結婚で関東に移り住んだので、大阪観光はほんと50年ぶりでした。
大阪に住んでても行かないところもあるしとてもきれいになってるところもあるしで新しい発見があり楽しかったです。

The guide and the driver were both very pleasant, making for a fun travel experience. If there’s a machine, I will apply again.

ガイドさんもですが運転手さんもとても感じが良くて楽しい旅の思い出になりました。機械があればまた申し込みます
