All Reviews for Osaka Sightseeing Tours

I enjoyed the northern route on a double-decker bus from Osaka Station with my granddaughter. I don't know if I should call it lucky, but there were only the two of us as passengers. Even with just two guests, the guide provided a thorough explanation. The view of Osaka Castle at night and the cherry blossoms were quite impressive, and my granddaughter was delighted. Thank you to the driver and the guide.

孫娘と一緒に大阪駅発2階建てバスで北回りコースを楽しみました。ラッキーと言っていいのかお客は私ども二人だけでした。たった二人の客なのにガイドさんが丁寧に案内してくれました。夜見る大阪城と夜桜は中々のもので孫娘も喜んでいました。運転手さん、ガイドさんありがとうございました。

We were all looking forward to this first experience as a family. The ride on the North Route took about an hour, which seemed like just the right amount of sightseeing time for the kids and grandkids. The bus guide's explanations were easy to understand, and I enjoyed looking out the window as my face turned right and left. Although it was just before the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, the cherry trees were still very beautiful. The sightseeing cost was also reasonable at 1,500 yen, which felt like a good deal. Unfortunately, there were a few downsides: the number of passengers was low, there were many traffic signal waits, there were no stops (even a short stop at one location would have made for better memories), and it seemed that the recognition from the outside was lower than expected.

初めての体験で家族共々楽しみにしていました。北ル－トで乗車時間は約１時間。子供や孫にはちょうどいい観光時間と思われました。バスガイドの観光説明も聞き取りやすくわかりやすい説明で自分の顔が右を向いたり左を向いたりと、楽しく窓見学できました。今回は桜満開前の時期でしたがとても桜がきれいでした。観光費用も１５００円と安価で回れるので割安感がありました。残念な事は、・乗車人数が少なかった事・信号待ちが多い事・停車する事が無かった事（短時間で１か所でも有ればより思い出として残ると思う）・外部からの目が思ったより認知度が低いと思われた事等でした。

The timetable and route map were outdated. After struggling, I called the tour company for guidance. Missing the ride completely ruined my travel schedule, and I was really disappointed.

時刻表やルート図が、古い物でした。困った挙句、催行会社に電話して誘導してもらいました。乗り遅れた事で旅のスケジュールが台無しになり、本当にガッカリでした。

It was a cold time in February, but the weather was nice, so the cold wasn't too harsh. However, I think those who are sensitive to the cold should dress warmly. As the guide mentioned, the open roof provided a great view. It was very convenient and enjoyable to visit the famous spots in a short amount of time, and it was great that we passed near the place I planned to visit the next day, so I could get there without getting lost. Next time, I would like to try the northern course as well.

２月の寒い時期でしたがお天気が良かったのでそれほど寒さは辛くなかったですが　寒さが苦手な人はしっかり防寒された方が良いと思います　しかしガイドさんも言ってましたが屋根が開いているおかげで見晴らしはとても良かったですよ　短時間で名所を一気に回ってくれるのでとても楽ちんで楽しかったですし　タイミング良く翌日行く予定だった場所の近くを通ってくれたので迷わずに行けて良かったです　今度は北コースも利用してみたいです

I took the southern route in the afternoon. It was a cold day with snowflakes falling, but I had prepared a blanket and a heat pack, and there was heating at my feet, so it was more comfortable than I expected. I had visited Osaka several times and had even lived there for a while, but there were many things I wouldn't have understood without explanation, such as the plateaus in the city and areas where many temples are gathered. I made a lot of new discoveries. I would like to use this service again if I have the opportunity.

午後の南ルートに乗りました。
寒い日で雪が舞っていましたが、ひざ掛けやカイロの準備もあり、足下には暖房もあったので、思っていたよりも快適でした。
大阪に何度か来ていたり、少し住んでいたこともありましたが、街中に台地があったことや寺が多く集まるエリアがあったり、説明無しではわからないこともたくさんあり、新発見が多かったです。
また機会があれば利用したいと思います。

I thought we would stop at the landmarks and have a guide, but we only viewed everything from the car window. I would have liked at least a brief stop to take some photos. This kind of activity is unnecessary.

名所で降りて案内してくれると思っていましたが、全て車窓から見るだけでした。せめて少し止まって写真など撮る事もして欲しい。こんなアクティビティは必要ありません。

After getting off the bus, I went to the places I visited on the bus tour, which was very helpful. It was fun.

バス下車後に バスで観光した所に出向いて
いったりとして 大変助かりました。
楽しかったです。

It was really cold, but I had a lot of fun! I was satisfied because I could see various landscapes from the bus. However, the meeting place was hard to find. It would be easier if it were at the bus stop.

すごい寒かったですが、とても楽しかったです！バスから色々な景色も観れたので満足しました。ただ、待ち合わせの場所が分かりづらかったです。バス乗り場にしてもらった方が分かりやすいです。

During this season, the open deck was cold, but the female guide was very enthusiastic and warmed my heart.

I had hoped for a specific seat, and while the front was a place that could block the wind, it was unfortunately empty. I wish they had guided us to move if it was available!

この時期、オープンデッキは寒かったですが、女性ガイドさんが熱心に案内してくれて、心が暖まりました。

希望として座席が指定されておりましたが、前方は風よけ出来る場所でしたが、空席になっており残念でした。空いておる様でしたら移動誘導して欲しかった！

I was able to efficiently see famous tourist spots. It was a bit cold riding on the open deck at high speed, but I was happy that there were blankets on all the seats. I could hear the guide's explanations well. The meeting place was a bit unclear on the voucher, but I was able to make it on time after calling the tour company.

効率よく有名な観光地を見ることができました。
オープンデッキで高速を走るのはやや寒かったですが、全席膝掛けが置いてあり嬉しかったです。ガイドさんの説明もよく聞こえました。
集合場所がバウチャーではわかりくかったですが、催行会社に電話して間に合いました。

It's just sitting on the bus and looking at the scenery, but it's refreshing to notice things like buildings and bridges anew.

ただバスで景色を眺めるだけですが、ぼーっと座っているだけ。ビルや橋など改めて気づくことがあり、新鮮です。

The weather was nice, and the air was clear, which was great. There were also blankets and hot packs available, making it comfortable to spend time there. Although it's a route I usually take, I noticed some areas under construction or that had disappeared, which was a good experience. Next time, I would like to try a different route.

天気が良く空気が澄んでいて良かったです。毛布やホッカイロの配布もあり快適に過ごせました。普段通る道ですが、工事中だったり、いつのまにか消えていたり改めて気づくところもあり良い経験でした
今度は違うルートもいってみたいと思います

I arrived in Osaka a day early for a two-day meeting and decided to stay for two nights. During my free time, I used the Wonder Loop city tour bus and boat. Both the bus and boat routes and timetables were well-planned and convenient. Additionally, I received a two-day subway pass, making it easy to get around. The bus guide was very charming and kind, while the male boat guide was handsome and friendly, which greatly enhanced the travel experience. We were able to explore the Dotonbori River with just the guide and the two of us, making it feel like we were riding in a water taxi in Venice, which was incredibly exciting. I believe the view of the Dotonbori illuminations from the river is exceptional.

大阪で2日間会合があるので、1日前に大阪入りし2泊することにして空き時間にワンダーループの市内周遊バスと船を利用しました。バスも船もルートやタイムテーブルがよく練られていて使い勝手がよかったです。また地下鉄2日券をつけてもらったので移動も難なく行うことができました。バスのガイドさんはとてもチャーミングで優しく、また船のガイドの男性はイケメンで気さくでしたから旅の気分が大いに盛り上がりました。道頓堀川をガイドさんと私たちふたりだけで巡ることができ、まるでベネチアの水上タクシーに乗っているような気分になり興奮しまくりました。川から観る道頓堀のイルミネーションは格別だと思います。

The deck seats were cold, but I think it's very convenient for sightseeing in Osaka. It would have been even better if there were options for departure times.

デッキ席は寒かったですが、大阪観光を一通りするのにはとても便利だと思います。
出発時間の選択肢があれば、もっと良かったです。

It is a great way to see major tourist attractions in the city if you don’t have much time. You could see a lot of places in just one day and will learn a lot about their culture.The bus arrives on time and it is clean. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and nice! It was a day before new year when we joined the tour and we asked her a lot of questions about Japanese traditions on New Year’s Eve and she was able to answer all the questions and even told us stories about what families do on New Year’s Day.We also joined the cruise and we had so fun seeing the city via the boat. It was raining but our driver made sure that we didn’t get wet by providing us thick jacket and a roof. He leaves and departs on every port on time. He was also able to answer all our questions.

I enjoyed the Osaka illumination while riding a double-decker bus along Midosuji. They provided blankets and heating pads, so I didn't feel too cold. The elevated view allows you to see the illumination from a different perspective! I highly recommend experiencing it.

二階建てバスで御堂筋を走り大阪イルミネーションを堪能しました。
カイロや膝掛けも用意されており、あまり寒さは感じませんでした。
視界が高くなりますから違った感じでイルミネーションを見れますよ！
是非体験されて下さい。

A must have tour on Osaka!!! A very friendly and helpfull tour guide on the bus, they even give you a jacket, a blanket for my kids and recommend many great restaurant and site to go. Dont forget to take the free cruise included on your ticket, believe me, they are really worth to try!! Sure will recommend this tour for everyone who will visit Osaka.

The bus will give you some good ideas what to see in Osaka. Best part is that you are given two days for the ticket. You get the 2nd chance to see and shop if you had missed it on the 1st day.

The tour was great, our tourguide is quite helpful and accommodating can speak English which is a plus. Location of each spot is quite well planned both historical and entertainment. I suggest you the the earliest trip since there are 2 buses around 40 mins apart. So you will have enough time for picture taking. And you can still ride the tour at night if you prefer going back to other location which is different experience if its at night.

I took the train that departed at 7:20 PM on December 9th! The illumination was beautiful and breathtaking.

However, since it was cold due to the season, I understand the open ceiling, but I wish they would improve the heating inside the train.

12月9日19時20分発に乗りました！イルミネーションは綺麗で圧巻でした

ただ、時期的に寒いので、オープンの天井は仕方ないとして、車内の暖房をもっと工夫して欲しい。

I would have liked more detailed information in the guide. (I already know about the streets and buildings from my research, so interesting anecdotes and historical information would be great.)

案内をもう少し詳しくしてほしかった。

　歴史情報など)

I thought it might be cold, so I dressed warmly, but I was grateful for the heating from below, the lap blankets, and the heat packs that were provided. I went with five friends, and everyone was impressed. We considered taking the next South Course, but unfortunately, there were no available rides that day, which was disappointing. In any case, it was definitely a fun hour.

寒いかなと思い、着込んでいったのですが、足元からの暖房や、膝掛け、カイロが用意されていて、有り難かったです。友達5人で利用しましたが、皆感激で、次の南コースも乗ろうかと思いましたが、あいにくその日は便がなく、残念でした。とにかく間違いなく楽しい1時間です。

I participated with my elderly parent (over 70 years old). It was fun to do city sightseeing from a double-decker bus at a high vantage point. It went by in a flash, but I was satisfied with how efficiently we were able to see everything.

高齢（70歳以上）の親と参加しました。2階建てバスで高いところから市内観光ができて楽しかったです。あっという間でしたが効率よく見れ満足でした。

Thank you for preparing the blankets and hand warmers, as it was cold on the day of the event. We were also blessed with nice weather and thoroughly enjoyed the feast of lights! (*´ω｀*)

参加日当日は寒かったですが、ひざ掛けとカイロを用意してくれてありがとうございました。
いい天気にも恵まれ、光の饗宴を満喫しました(*´ω｀*)

On the first day in Osaka, it was an exciting event before dinner! Each person received two blankets and one disposable hand warmer, so we didn't feel cold during the ride. My father, who is in his 80s, was very pleased that the guide's announcements were easy to hear. Thank you for your hospitality.

大阪一日目、夕食前のイベントとして盛り上がりました！
一人当たりブランケット2枚・使い捨てカイロ1個が付いていて、走行中も寒さを感じることはありませんでした。80歳代の父が、ガイドのアナウンスがとても聞きやすかったと喜んでいました。お世話になりました。

I really enjoyed running along the street decorated with illuminations while the guide explained various things. It was refreshing to view the streets from above while on the highway. It wasn't too cold, but I appreciated that the guide provided a blanket and gave us hand warmers.

イルミネーションをしてある通りを走りながら、ガイドさんが色々と説明してくれてとても楽しめました。
高速に乗って上から通りを眺められるのも新鮮でした。
そんなに寒くはなかったのですが、ガイドさんが膝掛けを渡してくださったりカイロをもらえたのもありがたかったです

I thought it would be cold, but that day it wasn't too bad and was quite comfortable. Plus, they provided a blanket and a heat pack, which was great. It went by in a flash, but I had a wonderful time. Thank you very much! ♥

寒いかと思いましたが、その日はそれ程でもなく快適でした
それに、ひざ掛けにカイロも装備してくれてたので良かったです。あっという間でしたが楽しく過ごせました。ありがとう♥ございました。

The Osaka Wonderloop bus was a great way to see the big city of Osaka. Since it was raining when we took the tour, it was much more pleasurable to view the city than walking in the rain. The bus goes to main spots in Osaka so it was helpful for us to see and learn about this wonderful city. The buses came on time. The tour guides were very helpful and friendly. They recommended some local restaurants that served the best of Osaka’s “soul food” such as takoyaki and okonomiyaki. The Osaka Wonderloop is a must especially if you are only in Osaka for a day or two.

Due to the light rain, we moved to a covered area, but we were given a rough guide to the sightseeing spots. It helped me get a sense of the area, which was useful for my later exploration.

小雨のため、屋根付きになりましたが、ざっくり観光名所を案内して頂きました。
土地勘が解かり、その後の散策に役に立ちました。

This was my first time sightseeing in Osaka with my child. While I wanted to visit the famous spots, I was worried about getting lost and transferring trains. With this tour, even though we were on the bus, we were able to see the famous attractions. Since it was Saturday night, the crowds were overwhelming, and I was glad we chose the bus. Inside the bus, we were able to borrow blankets, and the guide provided timely information, making the sightseeing enjoyable.

子連れで初めて大阪観光、有名どころは行ってみたいものの、迷子や電車の乗り継ぎなどの不安が先立ちます。こちらのツアーなら、車内からではありますが、有名どころはおさえて観光できます。当日は土曜の夜だったので、人波が凄まじく、バスにして良かったと思いました。バス内では膝掛けの貸し出しや、ガイドさんのタイミング良い案内で楽しく観光出来ました。
