All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

It was great to be able to take a tour of the city in just one hour during a little free time. I used the guide's explanations from the morning as a reference and explored in the afternoon.

ちょっとした空き時間の1時間で市内を一回りできたのは、とても良かった。午前のガイドさんの説明を参考にして午後は散策しました。

Thank you for the easy-to-understand and polite guidance. The course included all the places I wanted to visit, which was great. My goal was to collect goshuin (temple seals). I believe I can continue to stay healthy with the sacred water from Otowa Waterfall.

分かりやすくて、丁寧な案内をありがとうございました。コースも行きたかった所ばかりで、良かったです。目的は、御朱印集めです。
音羽の滝の霊水でこれからも健康に過ごせると思います。

I was worried about the tour being in English, especially if it was fast-paced and native. What if we were the only Japanese travelers? I was anxious about that. I heard that Japanese was spoken, but what if foreigners spoke broken Japanese?

Language was my biggest concern, but on the day of the tour, I was relieved to find a Japanese guide. There were also a few other Japanese travelers besides us, which really put my mind at ease! The tour involved quite a bit of walking, so I was tired, but it was a great trip. Thank you! 😊

英語でのツアーということで、ネイティブで早口な英語だったらどうしようか？　旅行者も日本人が自分達だけだったら？？不安でした。日本語は通じるようですが、外国の方でカタコトの日本語だったらどうしようか？
言葉が一番心配でしたが、当日日本人の方でホッと安心しました。旅行者側にも我々以外にも日本人の方が何組かいらしてひとまず、本当に安心しました！！内容は結構歩きましたから、疲れはしたものの良い旅ができました。ありがとうございます😊

I participated in a tour on the weekend after Golden Week. Since I went to the Expo, I decided to join a tour of Shiga, a place I don't often have the opportunity to visit. Although it was the weekend, there were only about 10 people in total.

We joined as a pair, but everyone else was Chinese... The driver mentioned that he couldn't provide guidance in Japanese, so we were given a printed sheet with explanations of the tourist spots.

【Disappointing Points】
- Not at the meeting time
→ The meeting place was used for various tours, and I asked around but couldn't find anyone. Since time had passed, I finally managed to connect by calling on my mobile. It would be helpful to have something like a card to make it clearer.

- If it's for foreigners, I wish that was clearly stated
→ The driver was fluent in Japanese, but he said he was called in at the last minute because there were Japanese participants. Since all the sightseeing spots were free to explore, it wasn't a problem, but it was a bit intimidating.

- All entrance fees were out of pocket
→ It's often included in the tour price, so that was disappointing.

【Positive Points】
- The places we visited were ones I couldn't easily reach on my own, so it was great to be able to see them efficiently.

- All the tourist spots were wonderful. I enjoyed the art, the scenery, and the food. There were also many photogenic locations.

- The tour ended an hour earlier than planned, which gave us some extra time afterward.

As long as it operates safely, that's what matters, but I feel like there's a big variance in the quality of tours, so I think I'll be more careful when applying in the future.

GW明けの週末に参加。万博に行ったので、ついでにあまり行く機会のない滋賀のツアーにしました。週末でしたが、10名くらいの少人数でした。
2名で参加しましたが、私たち以外は全員中国人でした…運転手さんも日本人向けの案内は出来ないとのことで、観光場所の説明が書かれた紙を印刷して渡されました。
【残念な点】
・集合時間にいない
→色んなツアーの集合場所になっていて、片っ端から声かけましたが見つからず。時間すぎたので、携帯に電話してやっと合流できました。カードを持つとか、分かりやすくしてほしい。

・外国人用なら、その旨明記してほしい
→運転手さんは日本語堪能でしたが、日本人がいるので急遽呼ばれたと言っていました。
観光場所は全て自由行動だったので問題はありませんでしたが、気後れしました。。

・入場料が全て実費
→ツアー代に含まれている事が多いので残念でした。

【良かった点】
・なかなか自力で行けない場所ばかりだったので、効率よく回れて良かった。

・観光した場所は、全て良かった。美術品に景色やごはん等満喫した。フォトジェニックな場所も多い。

・予定より1時間早く終了したので、そのあとの時間に余裕ができた。

安全に催行されればそれでいいのですが、ツアーによって当たり外れが大きい気がしているので、今後は申し込む際に注意しようと思います。。

Due to the rain, there was a lack of openness and a sense of specialness, making it feel like I was just riding a city loop bus. I wished I could have heard more fun stories and episodes.

雨のせいもあって開放感がなく、特別感もなく、市内循環のバスに乗っている感じ。もっと楽しい話やエピソードが聞きたかった

It was great to be able to sightsee efficiently. I was right to sign up for this tour. I think it would have been difficult to travel around on my own. Since it was a tour with lunch included, I didn't have to worry about meals, and the content was fulfilling. Our guide, Hal, was very kind and provided guidance in both Japanese and English. Thank you very much.

効率良く観光出来て、とても良かったです。
このツアーに申し込んで正解でした。
自力で観光すると移動が大変だったと思います。
ランチ付のツアーだったので食事の心配もなく、充実した内容でした。
ガイドのハルさん、とても親切で日本語と英語を交えて案内をしてくれました。
ありがとうございました。

I was able to go to the places I wanted to visit, and with thorough explanations, I had a wonderful time. I also had the opportunity to spend time with friends and meet new people, which was a valuable experience. Thank you very much.

行きたい所に行き、丁寧な説明もつけていただいて、楽しい時間を過ごせました。
友達が知り合えた方とも、一緒にすごすじかんもあり、貴重な体験もできました。
ありがとうございました。

I had a great time! The guide with the Osaka dialect had such a witty storytelling style that I was never bored, and I thoroughly enjoyed Osaka Minami. The hour flew by in no time. Next time, I would love to come back and share the cold with the guide on an open bus during the harsh winter, where even eyelashes freeze! I'm also grateful for the driver's incredibly safe driving!

いやあ良かった‼️大阪訛りのガイドさんの実に軽妙な語り口に終始飽きる事なく、大阪ミナミ楽しませて貰いました。一時間はあっと言う間に過ぎました。次回は出来ればまつ毛も凍ってしまうと言う厳寒期のオープンバスで是非ガイドさんと寒さを共有しに来たいと思います。運転手さんの安全無比なドライビングにも感謝です‼️

I haven't actually been there myself, but I made a reservation for my parents. They were happy to go to the places they wanted without any confusion. It was also great that the schedule was manageable and they seemed to enjoy each sightseeing spot.

実際に私は行っていませんが、親の為に予約しました。本人達も行きたい所へ迷わず行けて喜んでいました。またスケジュールにも無理がなく各観光地を楽しめたようで良かったです。

It was disappointing that the tour had to be conducted with the roof closed due to the rain. Nevertheless, the guide was flexible and clearly explained the highlights, making it a good tour for about an hour.

雨だったため屋根を閉めてのツアーだったので残念でした。それでもガイドさんが臨機応変に見どころを左右分かりやすく説明下さり1時間程よいツアーでした。

It was a one-hour tour around Osaka from a double-decker bus! We were guided through famous streets and rivers like Dotonbori, as well as temples, and the guide's explanations were easy to understand. It was fun to hear various stories, including about sumo! I was a little disappointed that we couldn't stop and see things up close.

二階建てのバスから、大阪の街を観て廻る1時間の見学でした！道頓堀とか、聞いた事のある街や川、お寺さんなどをガイドして貰え、ガイドさんの案内も聞きやすくお相撲の話など、いろんな話を交えてのガイド楽しかったです！停車しては見れなかったのが少し残念でした！

I was glad to understand the layout of the streets, buildings, and locations in Osaka.

It was hot, but the weather was great. The guide was also very good at sharing information.

大阪の街並み　大阪の道　建物　場所の位置関係がよく分かって良かったです

暑いけどお天気で最高でした
ガイドさんもお話も良かったです

There were only the two of us who were Japanese, but thanks to our guide Andrew's attentiveness and the schedule going as planned, we had a great time.

日本人は私達2人だけでしたが、ガイドのAndrew さんの気配りと、スケジュールも予定通りで、大変楽しかったです。

My first sightseeing experience in Osaka was great. It was my first time on a double-decker bus, and it was very comfortable. The weather was nice, and I had a really enjoyable time. I learned a lot about the city's landscape and history.

初の大阪観光
2階だてバスも初めてでしたがとても快適でした
天気も良くてとても楽しいひと時でした
大阪の街並みや成り立ちとても勉強になりました

I understood the bus terminal, but there are so many platforms that I was unsure which one to use until just before my departure. It would have been helpful if the guide had indicated which platform number to go to. It seemed that foreign travelers were also confused.

バスターミナルはわかりましたが、乗り場がたくさんあるので、どの乗り場か分からなく、直前まで不安でした。乗り場はナンバーがあるので、案内書に何番乗り場まで書いてあると良かったです。外国人の方分からなかったようです。

My stay at the hotel in Kyoto was for three days, but I only had one day to relax and there were so many places I wanted to visit... Among them, this tour was the most enjoyable! 😀 I usually walk with a cane, so I was a bit anxious, but I was able to enjoy the tour until the end without any issues. ✨ The Arashiyama Bamboo Grove was especially beautiful.

京都ホテル滞在は3日間でしたが、京都ゆっくりできるのは1日だけで行きたいところはきりがありません・・・その中でもこのツアーは最高に楽しかったです😀
わたしは普段から杖をついて歩いているので、少し不安はありましたが、無事最後までツアー楽しむことができました✨
特に嵐山竹林が素敵でした。

The weather was nice, and the sense of freedom was great. I was surprised by how many participants there were, even on a weekday. It seems everyone thinks the same way.

天気も良く解放感が大変良かった。
参加者も平日にかかわらず多くてびっくり。
皆さん考えることは同じなんですね。

I had a very enjoyable and relaxing day in Kyoto. The guide's explanations were very clear, and I am very grateful. I would like to participate again. This tour comes highly recommended. I look forward to next time as well.

とても楽にとても楽しく1日京都を満喫できました。ガイドさんの超説明もわかりやすく、感謝感謝です。
また参加したいとおもいます。
とてもおすすめなツアーです。
また次回も，よろしくお願いします。

There was no sense of openness due to the roof.
I bumped my head.
I was disappointed as it was different from what I expected.
It might be because my reservation was late, but I would have liked to be informed in advance.

屋根があり解放感ありません。　
頭をぶつけました。　
思っていたのと違いがっかりしました。
予約が遅かったからかもしれませんが、事前に教えて欲しかった。

The weather was nice. The rooftop was very pleasant and refreshing. In Umeda, there were many buildings visible from below, and on both sides of Midosuji, there were boutiques, with Takashimaya directly in front. The Hanshin Expressway was overwhelming, and then the Abeno Harukas appeared, making it even more "Osaka." I had a great time.

いいお天気でした。ルーフトップはとても気持ちよく爽快でした。梅田は下から見るよりビルがたくさん見えて、御堂筋は両サイドにブティックがあり真正面には高島屋があり阪神高速道路があって圧倒されてるとハルカスが出てきてさらにTHE大阪でした。楽しかったです。

I signed up for the tour as a solo participant, and since it was an English and Japanese tour, it also helped me study English. There were quite a few foreign participants, and I enjoyed talking and interacting with them during the tour. I think it would be difficult to visit so many sightseeing spots in one day on my own, so I was able to see many famous attractions in Kyoto, and although it was a tight schedule, I had a great time. The guide was very kind and shared stories about history and explanations of the highlights, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The plan included lunch, and I was able to eat a lot of delicious Kyoto cuisine. The driver also navigated the narrow streets of Kyoto safely. I am extremely satisfied. Thank you very much!

1人参加でツアーを申込みましたが、英語✕日本語ツアーなので、英語の勉強にもなりました。外国人の参加者が多めでしたが、同じツアーに参加されていた外国の方とも楽しくお話しできて交流ができたのも楽しかったです。自分自身でこれだけの観光地を1日で周るのは難しいと思うので、見どころ満載の京都の有名観光地をそれぞれ見ることが出来て、ハードスケジュールではありましたが、とても楽しめました。ガイドさんもとても優しく接してくれ、歴史のお話やみどころの説明等していただき、より楽しむことができました。またランチ付きのプランでとても美味しい京料理をお腹いっぱい食べることができました。運転手の方も京都の狭い道も多かったのですが、安全運転でした。大大大満足です。本当にありがとうございました。

From Umeda to Namba along Midosuji, I was surprised by the Den Den Town and the group of temples on Teramachi Street, which even locals in Osaka rarely visit. The view from the two-story open-top bus was exhilarating, with a sense of freedom as I felt the wind and enjoyed the dynamic interplay of the sky and architecture. Watching the people gathering in Dotonbori move like the flow of the river was all enjoyable from above. On the way back, I savored the scenery from the highway.

梅田から御堂筋を難波まで、大阪人でもなかなか行くことがないでんでんタウンや寺町筋のお寺群？にびっくり、二階建てオープントップバスからの景色は、風を感じながらの開放感と視覚から得られる空と建築物のダイナミックな競演、道頓堀に集まる人々が川の流れの如く移動する様、全て、上から目線で楽しかったです。
帰りは高速道路からの景色を堪能しました。

After considering several companies to efficiently explore Kyoto, I chose a course that I liked and participated. There were 31 foreigners and 5 Japanese participants, but the guide was a woman who spoke several languages, and it was a very polite and comfortable tour. Everyone adhered to the meeting time and had good manners, resulting in a high level of satisfaction. As a result, I have booked a one-day tour in Nara with this company for the next time.

京都のポイントを効率よく回る為に数社検討の末、コースが気に入り参加。外国人31人日本人5人でしたが、ガイドは数カ国話せる女性の方で、とても丁寧で快適なツアーでした。皆さん集合時間厳守で社内マナーも良く、満足度が高かったです。結果、次回もこの会社で奈良での1日ツアーを申し込みました。

The open feeling without a roof is amazing. The view from up high is refreshing. I can also directly experience the smell (air) of Osaka. I would like to ride again if I have the chance.

屋根の無い開放感はすごい。高いところからの景色は新鮮です。また、大阪の匂い（空気）も直にします。また機会あれば乗りたい。

You can efficiently visit the highlights of Osaka, but since it's only from the car window, it might be a bit unsatisfying for those who want to take their time and explore.

効率良く大阪の見どころを回れますが、車窓のみなので、じっくり見たい方には少し物足りないかもしれません。

Since it was my first time in Osaka, I was able to get a sense of distance and location by visiting the main tourist spots by bus. The guide's explanations were also very helpful.

はじめての大阪だったので、まずはバスでの主要な観光地をめぐることで距離感と位置をつかむことができました。ガイドさんの説明もためになります。

It was a hot day, but traveling in the cool bus was stress-free and so comfortable. I was also informed about the highlights, making for a fulfilling sightseeing experience! Thank you for your help! ✨

暑い日でしたが涼しいバスでの移動はストレスなく楽ちんそのもの。見どころなども教えてもらい充実した観光になりました！お世話になりました✨

A bit difficult to access from Kyoto City, Amanohashidate and Ine. This time, I participated in a tour along with foreign visitors. We were the only Japanese. The guide mainly spoke English, but came to our seats to explain necessary information in Japanese.

The weather was nice that day, and we were able to enjoy the scenery of Amanohashidate and the quiet streets of Ine. In Amanohashidate, we had about two and a half hours of free time, and after a 20-minute cruise in Ine, we had about 30 minutes to explore freely.

While strolling in Amanohashidate, I went out to the beach and was healed by the beautiful and calm sea. Despite most participants being foreign, everyone gathered on time, making the experience very smooth.

京都市内からはちょっとアクセスしにくい天橋立と伊根。
今回、外国の方に混じってツアーに参加しました。日本人は私達のみ。ガイドさんは英語メインでしたが、必要なことは私達の座席まで来てくれ、日本語で説明してくれました。
当日は天気もよく、天橋立の景色や伊根の静かな街並みを楽しむことができました。
天橋立では2時間半ほどのフリータイム、伊根は20分程度のクルーズの後、30分ほど自由に散策という感じでした。
天橋立では散策しながら海水浴場へ出て、キレイで穏やかな海に癒されました。
外国の方がほとんどにもかかわらず、皆さん時間を守って集合していて、非常にスムーズでした。

The sightseeing tour on the open-top bus was enjoyable, but I wonder why I couldn't make a reservation despite there being more than half of the seats available and the bus showing as fully booked. Is it because the tour company is reserving them? I hope they can open up reservation slots at scheduled times.

オープントップバスでの観光は楽しめたが、
空席が半数以上あったにも関わらず、満席表示で予約が取れなかったのは何故でしょうか？観光会社が占有しているのでしょうか。時間を決めて予約枠を開放して欲しいと思いました。

Initially, I planned to go on my own, but the online individual reservations for the Alpine Route's transportation tickets were already sold out, so I gave up. I looked for other options since major tours were either sold out or did not fit my schedule, and that's when I found this one.

Not only did we visit Kurobe and Tateyama, but we also efficiently toured Hida Takayama and Shirakawa-go in a 2-day, 1-night trip, and I was very satisfied. The bus drivers were two Japanese individuals who drove perfectly. They maintained smiles, ensured safety during boarding and alighting, and even helped with luggage, providing a very reassuring Japanese-style hospitality.

The guide, Liu, was also very good with time management and announcements. I usually travel independently, but I was glad to use a bus tour this time. The other tour members were all visitors to Japan besides my family, but everyone adhered to the schedule and rules, and there were no noisy people.

最初は自分で行こうと計画していたが、アルペンルートの乗り物WEB切符のオンライン個人予約がすでに完売していたので断念。
大手のツアーは完売もしくは日程が合わず、他を探していたところ、こちらを見つけた。
黒部立山だけでなく、飛騨高山、白川郷もまで、1泊2日で効率よく周ることができ大満足。
バスのドライバーさんは日本人の2人体制で、完璧な運転。笑顔を絶やさず、乗り降りの際の安全確認、荷物の上げ下ろしまでしてくれて、日本流のおもてなしで非常に安心。
ガイドの劉さんの時間配分やアナウンスも大変上手。普段は個人旅行だけど、今回はバスツアーを利用して良かった。
ツアーのメンバーは私たち家族以外、訪日客ばかりだったけど、皆さん時間やルール厳守で、騒ぐ人もいなかった。
