All Reviews for 2026 Japan Cherry Blossom Tours

I chose this tour because I wanted to efficiently visit the main sightseeing spots in Kyoto in a short amount of time. The bus was clean, and the guide was very kind and attentive, which was great. If we had gone on our own, we wouldn't have been able to visit as many places, so it was really beneficial. The lunch was also in a nice location and delicious. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to efficiently visit the main attractions.

京都観光するのに便利で短時間で効率よくメインの観光地を行きたかったのでこのツアーを選びました。
バスは清潔で、ガイドさんもとても親切で丁寧に対応していただいて良かったです。
自分たちで行動していたらここまで行けなかったのですごく良かったです。
ランチも良いロケーションでおいしかったです。
効率よくメインの観光地を回りたい方には非常におすすめです。

It had been several decades since my last school trip to Kyoto, so I wanted to participate in a tour of the classic sightseeing spots. The guide's explanations were clear and attentive, and I appreciated their consideration throughout the tour.

The bus driver was also very pleasant, which made it easy to enjoy the itinerary without any worries. Since I opted for lunch, we had a meal at Kiyomizu-dera, where the tempura was crispy, and I enjoyed traditional Japanese dishes like dengaku and yudofu.

We arrived at Kyoto Station on time for our return, which was great as it didn't interfere with my plans for the rest of the day. Thank you very much for your excellent service.

修学旅行以来、何十年ぶりの京都でしたので、王道観光地巡りをしたくて参加しました。ガイドさんの説明はわかりやすく、気配りも行き届いていました。
またバスの運転手さんも感じが良くて安心して旅程を楽しめました。
昼食付きにしたので、清水寺で食事をしたのですが、天ぷらはサクサク、田楽や湯豆腐など和食を堪能しました。
帰りも時間通りに京都駅に到着したので、そのあとの予定にもひびかずよかったです。
大変お世話になりました。

I participated with my mother, who has difficulty walking. I was very satisfied that we could visit various sightseeing spots in just one day. The tour was aimed at international guests, but most of the participants were Japanese. Our guide, EIKO, was great with her explanations and even took personal photos for us, which was very thoughtful! Since it was just the right season for school trips, I was glad that lunch was included as well. I would love to join again if I have the opportunity.

足の悪い母と参加しました。1日でいろんな観光地に行けて大変満足しました。ツアーは海外のお客さん向けですが、日本のお客さんがほとんどでした。ガイドのEIKOさんの説明や個人的に写真を撮ってくれるなどのお気遣いも良かったです！ちょうど修学旅行シーズンだったので昼食も付けておいて良かったです。また機会があれば参加したいです。

This tour was aimed at inbound tourists, but it seemed challenging for the guide since there were mostly Japanese participants. I thought it was a great plan to visit the main tourist spots in Kyoto. Despite being tight on schedule, we had enough time to enjoy the sights, and I was very satisfied. I had been to these places before, but I made new discoveries and had a fun day.

今回のツアーは、インバウンド向けでしたが、日本人ばかりでガイドさんが大変そうでした。
京都の主要な観光地を巡って、大変良い企画だと思いました。タイトでありながらも十分に観光できて大満足でした。今まで行ったことあったけど、新たな発見もあり、楽しく過ごせた1日でした。

yes the weather was bad and the traffic also, however it felt like trying to cram too much into the day especially when doing two pick ups and drop offs an hour apart

I was unable to make it to the meeting time due to a train delay. I was considering canceling and was almost ready to give up. However, thanks to the guide's quick thinking, I was able to join at Fushimi Inari and participate in the entire itinerary without any issues. I can only express my gratitude. The guide was easy to understand, and each part of the tour was impressive.

電車遅延で　集合時間に間に合いませんでした。キャンセルも視野に入っていて、半ば、諦めかけておりました。ですが…　ガイドさんの機転で　伏見稲荷から合流し、無事　全日程参加することが出来ました。　感謝しかありません。
ガイドも分かりやすく、各々 見応えがありました。

This time, I participated with a friend from Miyagi. We were able to visit famous tourist spots within a limited time. However, there were a lot of people everywhere, but the tour's yellow flag stood out, so we didn't get lost. We walked quite a distance, and by the time we reached Arashiyama, my legs were exhausted, but I was glad to see the wonderful sights of Kyoto.

Our tour guide, Maria, explained everything clearly in both English and Japanese. She was very friendly and considerate of each participant, which was great. Maria is the best!!

I forgot the driver's name, but thank you for your safe driving. It was a fun trip to Kyoto. If there’s another opportunity, I would appreciate it again.

今回は宮城から友人と2人で参加させていただきました。
有名な観光地を限られた時間で行く事ができました。ただ、どこに行っても人がたくさんでしたが、ツアーの黄色い旗が目立って迷子にならずに済みました。結構な距離を歩いて、嵐山に行った時には足がくたくたでしたが、京都の素晴らしい観光地をみる事ができて良かったです。
添乗員のマリアさん、英語と日本語で分かりやすく説明してくれました。
親しみやすい方で参加者ひとりひとりを気遣ってくれて良かったです。
マリアさん最高！！
運転手の方、名前忘れちゃいましたが、
安全運転ありがとうございます。
楽しい京都旅となりました。
また機会がありましたら宜しくお願いします。

It was a bus tour, so I was able to visit multiple spots without worrying about travel time. The bus ride was really comfortable. Our guide, Maria, was always attentive to my mother's condition as she uses a cane. Thank you very much.

バスツアーでしたので、移動時間を気にせずに行きたかったスポットを複数まわることができました。バスの移動は本当に楽でした。ガイドのマリアさんが杖をついている母の足の状態を常に気を配って下さいました。ありがとうございました。

The bus tour goes by in a flash at each landmark, and today was no different. The price is reasonable, but since we drove from Kanagawa, we could enjoy sightseeing without worrying about parking, which is definitely a plus of the bus tour. If you have the guide in the photo, there's a 120% guarantee you won't go wrong! I hope this is helpful.

バスツアーは、各名所の時間あっと言う間ですが、今日も同じになりました^_^
金額はそれなりですが、神奈川から車で来たので中日は駐車場を気にせず、観光が出来るのは、やっぱり、バスツアーです。
写真のガイドさんになったら１２０%間違えなしです！
参考になったら幸いです。

It was very good to visit the main tourist spots with a guide, allowing us to make effective use of our limited time. The lunch menu was also satisfying.

主な観光地を、ガイドさんについてもらって、限られた時間で有効的に回れて、非常に良かった。昼食も満足できるメニューだった。

I participated in a tour with my parents in their 70s. The guide was very attentive, and they kindly took many great photos of the two of us. We were able to see and walk around famous spots in just one day, and they returned home very happy and satisfied.

70代の両親でツアーに参加しました
ガイドさんもとても丁寧で
写真も声をかけて下さって2人の良い写真がたくさんとれてました☺️
有名どころをいち日で見て歩けて
楽しかったと喜んで帰ってきました☺️

The guide was not at the meeting time, and the bus number that was originally listed was different, so we had to walk around quite a bit at the meeting place to find it. The bus was also in very poor condition. It was not a large tour bus, but a small microbus, giving more of a feeling of being transported rather than riding. The ride was very bumpy, lacked cleanliness, and even had an unpleasant smell. If I had brought my grandparents, I think I would have canceled.

The guide could not speak Japanese. Since we could speak both English and Chinese, we managed, but I felt that at least someone who could speak simple Japanese would be necessary in case of an emergency.

Although it was stated that we would go directly from Nipponbashi in Osaka to Shiga, we ended up going to Kyoto because we had to go to another boarding point, resulting in a loss of about 50 to 60 minutes overall. The time we had at the main attraction, the art museum, was significantly shortened, which was quite disappointing. We could hardly see the exhibits, and since we also had to have lunch, it was very busy.

Additionally, despite the tour fee being quite high, all entrance fees and meal costs were out of pocket. I think it's usually included, so that was disappointing.

The only good thing was that we were able to go to places we normally wouldn't visit. The price and quality are not balanced at all.

集合時間にガイドがおらず、元々記載されていたバスのナンバーも異なっており、集合場所でかなり歩き回ってさがしました。
そしてバスがあまりにもボロい。
大きな観光バスではなく、小型のマイクロバスで、乗車というよりかは輸送されている(運ばれている)感覚。揺れも大きく、清潔感もなく、臭いまでありました。仮に祖父母などを連れていっていたとしたらキャンセルしていたと思います。
ガイドは日本語が話せませんでした。
我々が英語も中国語もできたからまだ大丈夫でしたが、せめて簡単な日本語を話せる人じゃないと緊急時は頼りにならないなと思いました。
大阪日本橋からそのまま滋賀に向かうと書かれていたのに、もうひとつの乗り場までいくからとのことで京都まで行き、全体で見ると50~60分のロス。
最初に行ったツアーのメインである美術館での時間は大変短くなってしまい、かなり残念でした。展示品はほぼ見ることが出来ず、昼食も取らなければならなかったのでかなり忙しかったです。

またツアー代はしっかりかかっているにも関わらず、入場代や食事代は全て実費。
普通は含まれていることが多いと思うので、残念でした。

良かったところは普段行けないところに行けたという一点のみ。
値段と質があまりにも釣り合っておりません。

It was hard to understand which bus to take! If the goal is to teach Japanese manners while sightseeing, I would have liked to see the guide apologize to everyone for being 15 minutes late. Also, I was surprised that while Japanese people tend to sit in the same spot once they take their seats, foreigners do not. The guide was very dedicated and tried hard to communicate in Japanese, and I felt a bit sorry for participating as a Japanese person, but it was fun. Next time, I want to study English and join!

どのバスにのるかわかりづらかった！
日本のマナーとか教えたりしながら観光をする事が目的だとすれば、出発時間15分遅れて来たら、皆に一言謝る姿勢なども伝えてほしかった！また、1度座席に座れば、同じ場所に座るのが、日本人だが、外国の人は、そうではないのにびっくりしたのが、大きすぎて、ガイドも日本語で、がんばって接してくれていて日本人が一緒に参加して申し訳なかったですが、楽しかったです。今度は、英語を勉強してきて参加したいですね！

I had a really great time. The tour guide was very kind, and while the walking was a bit fast, I understand it was necessary due to the crowds. However, I did get tired at the end in Arashiyama, and it was quite challenging for me to reach the bamboo grove (partly because it was hot...). I think it would be even better if we could split into two groups near the parking area: one for shopping and the other for exploring the bamboo grove. Thank you for your help. I would like to join a different tour again. Thank you, Maria!

　　本当に楽しかったです。添乗員の方がとても優しくて、
歩くのは、ちょっと早いですが、人込みですしいたしかたないかと・・・
ただ、流石に最後の嵐山では疲れてしまい、竹林まで行くのが
私は大変で、（暑かったのもありますが・・・）
到着した駐車場付近でショッピングする方と竹林探索する方と
分けて頂けると、更にいいかと思います。
お世話になりました。
また、違うツアーに参加したいです。マリアさんありがとー

It was a very enjoyable route that covered everything in one day. If I had to move around on my own, I would have been too tired to enjoy it. The English guide was easy to understand, and they also included explanations in Japanese, which made it a lot of fun.

一日で回れて、ちゃんとポイントを押さえたルートなので、とても楽しかった。
自力での移動だったら、疲れ過ぎて楽しめない。
英語ガイドもわかりやすくて、日本語での説明も入れてくれるので、とても楽しめました。

The railroad crossing in front of Fushimi Inari Taisha was closed for over 30 minutes due to a JR issue, which disrupted our itinerary. However, aside from that, it was an enjoyable trip. If it weren't for the trouble, we might have had a bit more time to proceed with the other parts of our schedule. That was beyond our control, though. There were both foreigners and Japanese people, so the guide provided information in both English and Japanese. The guide was Japanese.

伏見稲荷大社前の踏切がJRのトラブルにより30分以上閉じた状態が続き、旅程通りに進めることができなかったがそれを除き、楽しい旅行となりました。
トラブルさえなければもう少し時間に余裕を持って他の工程を進めることができたのかもしれません。
それは不可抗力ですが。
外国人、日本人どちらもいたのでガイドさんは英語と日本語でガイドしていました。
ガイドさんは日本人でした。

Since we walk a lot, we appreciated being looked after and having someone check on us multiple times. Although we were the only ones from Japan, we were able to participate enjoyably.

歩くことが多いので、気にかけてもらって何度も声をかけていただきました。我々以外海外の方でしたが、楽しく参加できました。

In the morning, we gathered near the sightseeing bus stop in Namba at 9 AM. About 70% of the participants were foreigners, while around 30% were Japanese. It was helpful that the guide provided explanations in both English and Japanese about the places we were going to visit.

The great thing about this tour is that it takes you directly to the sightseeing spots in Kyoto by bus. I found it helpful since I had a poor sense of geography. I also thoroughly enjoyed the tofu meal in Kyoto and was very satisfied.

朝、9時になんばの観光バス乗り場近くに集合しました。外国の方が7割、日本の方は3割くらいだったかと。バス内ではこれから訪れる場所について英語と日本語で説明してくださり助かりました。
このツアーの良い点は、京都の観光名所にピンポイントでバスで連れて行ってくれることです。地理的な感覚が乏しかったので助かりました。京都の豆腐御膳も堪能して大満足でした。

The travel was challenging, but it was fun. The tour guide was amazing!! They were very polite and explained everything clearly, even to us Japanese people, so we were satisfied. They also took a lot of photos, which became great memories.

移動は大変でしたが、楽しかったです。
添乗員さんがすごい！！日本人の私たちにも丁寧にわかりやすく対応してくださったので満足です。写真もいっぱいとってくださり、思い出になりました。

I participated in a bus tour because I wanted to visit various sightseeing spots in Kyoto for the first time. It was the right choice since they take you by bus, so I didn't have to worry about transportation. There were about equal numbers of foreign and Japanese tourists participating. The explanations were clear in both English and Japanese, so I had no trouble understanding. The guide, Maria, was very kind, and I would like to request her again if I have the opportunity.

初めての京都で色んな観光地をまわりたくバスツアーに参加しました。バスで連れて行ってくれるので交通手段の心配はなく正解でした。外国人観光客の方と日本人観光客と半々程度の参加とのことでした。英語と日本語で分かりやすく説明して頂き困る事はありませんでした。ガイドのマリアさんはとても親切な方で又、機会があればお願いしたいです。

It was an easy-to-understand tour with a lot of information. Both my husband and I had a wonderful trip to Kyoto. Thank you! 😊

色々と教えてくださって分かりやすいツアーになりました。
夫婦共々、良い京都旅になりました。
ありがとうございます😊

It was great to be able to visit the classic tourist spots in Kyoto in one day. The guide and the driver were both kind, which was nice. I recommend it for first-timers.

京都の定番の観光地を1日でまわることができ、とてもよかったです。ガイドさんも運転手さんも親切でよかったです。初めての方にはお勧めです。

I was able to sightsee without wasting time, thanks to the perfect time allocation. The bus ride after walking was just the right amount of rest, and I was very satisfied.

ちょうどいい時間配分で無駄なく観光できました。歩き疲れた後のバスでの移動は丁度いい休息となり満足できました。

This time, my spouse and I participated in this tour to explore school trip destinations. Since it was a weekday, there were only a few participants, and we were the only Japanese people, but the guide provided explanations in both English and Japanese, allowing us to have a great time. The weather was decent, but even though it's September, it was really hot! A parasol and a fan are essential. Above all, the tour on the air-conditioned bus was the best! Thank you to the driver and the guide for a meaningful tour.

今回は夫婦で修学旅行巡りをしようとこのツアーに参加させていただきました。平日ということもあってか少人数で日本人は私たちだけでしたが、ガイドさんが英語と日本語で説明してくれて楽しく過ごすことがてきました。お天気もまずまずで良かったのですが、9月とはいえとにかく暑い！日傘と扇風機は必需品です。そしてなにより冷房の効いたらバスでのツアーは最高でした！ドライバーさんガイドさん有意義なツアーありがとうございました。

It was really hot in Kyoto!
There were only the two of us, a mother and child, who were Japanese,
but thanks to our guide Naomi, we were able to enjoy it despite mostly having English-speaking guides.

I would like to request her again when I visit Kansai.

兎に角暑かった京都でした〜
日本人は私達親子2人だけで
英語圏のガイドが殆どでしたが
ガイドのナオミさんのおかげで
それも楽しめました

また、関西へ訪れた際には
お願いしたいです

The tour guide and the driver were both excellent! We happened to have a small group, so we were able to sit comfortably, and there was zero stress 😊 They arranged a proper sightseeing bus instead of a microbus, which made me very satisfied!

ツアーのガイドさんも運転手の方も、とても良かったです！
たまたま参加人数が少人数で、座席もゆったり座れて、ストレスゼロでした😊
マイクロバスではなく、ちゃんと観光バスを手配されてて、とても満足でした！

First of all, there were only a few groups this time, and everyone was from Japan.

We requested no meals, but we were able to enjoy snacks at various places, which was great for us and the kids.

It was wonderful to be able to visit all the must-see spots in Kyoto in one day, including Fushimi Inari Shrine, Kiyomizu Temple, Kinkaku-ji, and Arashiyama!

It was a very memorable and fun tour. Thank you! I highly recommend it!

まず今回はたまたま組数も少なく全て国内の方でした。

私達は食事無しでお願いしましたが、行く先々でちょこちょこ食べたいものを食べられたので子供と一緒に楽しめました。
1日で伏見稲荷神社、清水寺、金閣寺、嵐山と京都に行くなら是非寄りたい所を全て周れるのはとても良かったです！

とても思い出に残る楽しいツアーでした、ありがとうございました！
おすすめです！！

When my mother-in-law came to Japan from abroad, we participated in a tour. The guide's commentary was all in English, and she was very happy since she doesn't understand Japanese. I don't have much familiarity with Kyoto, so traveling by bus was very convenient. Additionally, because we joined the tour, we enjoyed many privileges, allowing us to smoothly complete our itinerary without any waiting time, and the whole family was very satisfied!

海外からお義母さんが日本に来た際にツアーに参加させていただきました。ガイド内容はすべて英語で、日本語がわからない彼女も大変喜んでいました。当方、京都の土地勘がないためバスでの移動は非常に楽でした。また、ツアーに参加したからこそ優遇されたことも多々あり、待ち時間なくすいすいと予定をこなすこともできて、家族みんな大満足でした！

My elderly parents participated together. They were happy that the guide said, "You can take a break here if you get tired," and took many photos for them. They also mentioned that the lunch was very delicious! I'm glad we included lunch. We were very satisfied to visit the highlights of Kyoto in one day. Thank you!

高齢の両親が2人で参加しました。ガイドさんには、｢疲れたらここで休憩してもいいですよ｣と声をかけていただいたり、写真もたくさん撮ってくれたと喜んでいました。昼食もとても美味しかった！と言っていました。ランチ付きにして良かったです。
1日で京都の見所ある観光名所を回れて大満足でした。ありがとうございました！

I went during the Obon holiday.
It was close to 35 degrees, but the bus was cool and comfortable.
With explanations in both English and Japanese, we understood the highlights well, and when we got off the bus to explore the area, it was great that the kids had a sense of purpose in what they were seeing!
I was worried it might be tough for the younger elementary school kids in this heat, but they were able to recharge their energy on the bus and found things they wanted to see and do at the attractions, allowing them to enjoy the exploration.
Both adults and children were able to have fun.
Thank you!

お盆休みに行きました。
35度近い中、バスの中は涼しく快適。
英語と日本語の解説があり、程よく名所の内容がわかったところで、バスを降り現地を巡るので、子供達も見るものの目的意識がついてよかったです！
小学生の低学年にはキツイかなぁ〜、この暑さ大丈夫かなぁ〜、と思ってましたが、バスでエネルギーを貯め、名所で見たい物ややりたいことを見つけて散策できていました。
大人も子供も楽しむことができました。
ありがとうございます。
