Osaka Hop-On Hop-Off Sightseeing Bus, City Subway Pass & Cruise Ticket

Not bad, but not great

Reviewed by: Kerry

We had only one day in Osaka, so I decided to take the bus tour to make our last day of holidays easy for us. The weather was perfect and prime for seeing the sights, we were lucky to only have 10 minutes wait before we had a bus come through. They were happy to take the voucher directly from me which made this a lot easier. I did a similar bus tour in Tokyo and they were much more strict. The guides were friendly and as helpful as could be, although there was a distinct variance in their English language ability.
On this bus you are relying on the guide to inform you the whole way, there is no recorded guide or earphones to listen to. I prefer having a person point out the sight to a recorded guide, however I feel that the guides we had were not really that informed themselves, so didn't offer much insight.
The biggest downfall of the bus is the amount of time between buses. 70 minutes wait between buses is just too long. I suspect that if the wait time was less, there would be a lot more passengers going on this bus.
I thought the boat ride was a nice addition to the tour. But we worked out that given the long wait times between stops, we didn't have time to work this into our day. You have to be very careful about where you get off and be clear of when the next bus will come through or you can be stranded.
This bus is really for people who want transport between tourist destinations (mainly shopping), it's not really a sight seeing bus.

Bus tour hop on hop off

Reviewed by: Vivien

Very nice tour. We had problem finding the bus stop but finanally got it. We had 2 different tour guides. They are very nice and friendly. We know a lot about the city. The boat driver is extremely nice. We had chance to take so many good pics. Osaka is a beautiful city. I really like Kyoto as well. Japanese food is very delicious. Food and drink can be purchased everywhere. Never have problems finding them. Dotonburi is very busy but we like it very much! What we like most in Japan is safe, tradition and people. The tour itself is just an introduction about the city. They need to tell us more about the history of the city. They also need to improve the bus stop. Some of them are very hard to find, especially for tourists. I see the tour have many room to improve. Also every 1h will be too long, should be every 30 minutes. But they said there are only 2 buses. We got a good deal from Veltra with rebate for second person. However we could only did 1 day cause we did not have much time.

Enjoying Osaka with the Wonder Loop Bus. ワンダーループバスで大阪を満喫

Reviewed by: おかだっこ

We traveled to Osaka where our son works. On this day, the three of us participated in the Osaka Wonder Loop Bus campaign. Unfortunately, it was a cloudy day and it rained. What impressed me about this campaign was the ability to freely hop on and off at 13 tourist spots, allowing us to tailor our sightseeing to our schedule. The waiting time for the bus was just over an hour, giving us the freedom to enjoy sightseeing and shopping. While on the bus, the bus concierge provided a thorough guide in both Japanese and foreign languages, which was very interesting and memorable.

Due to time constraints, we could only use the service for one day, but we started from Umeda in Osaka, took a private cruise from Temmabashi, and explored Dotonbori, where happy people often gather. We enjoyed the iconic Glico sign, the lucky god Billiken at Tsutenkaku, and had a delicious kushikatsu lunch. We also visited Abeno Harukas 300, which boasts a height of 300 meters, and although it was a bit rushed, we thoroughly enjoyed the Osaka spots, including Osaka Castle. Next time, I hope to ride on the open-top bus and explore the nighttime spots in Osaka. Thank you very much.

(Request) The bus stop sign for Namba Parks (P55) in the guidebook is different from its actual location. If you could consider making a change, I believe other customers would appreciate it.

Great way to see the sights of Osaka

Reviewed by: Sharon

As it is a new tour unfortunately our hotel couldn't send us to the closest stop so we started at nbr 1. The guide book was in english and the 4 tour guides we had all provided different depths of information. We found the 70 mins between drop off and pickups enough time at stops to look and see everything we wanted. Perhaps more of an overview of how to get to stop recommendations before you got off the bus. We have done hop on hop off buses in lots of cities and pre recorded in clear english would be very helpful with the guide then able to answer specific questions. We didn't do the boat ride as time didn't permit but would recommend to first timers to osaka. We left a copy of the book at our hotel for the staff so they can be more helpful next time!

My first time in Osaka. 初めての大阪

Reviewed by: 橙色ジャス民と青色ジャス民

This was my first visit to Osaka, and since I had limited time, I decided to use this bus to explore the city as much as possible. The guide to my destination station was a young man. I found it interesting to hear his experiences and trivia.

On the way back from Dotonbori, the guide was a woman. She explained the current city while incorporating stories from the past, making the tour very enjoyable.

I had limited time and had narrowed down my stops to just Dotonbori, but we made a brief stop at Osaka Castle for about 10 minutes to adjust our schedule, and I was able to see Osaka Castle, even if just for a little while. I was very happy that the guide took several photos of us with Osaka Castle in the background.

In the evening, I went to the okonomiyaki restaurant Fuugetsu, which was recommended by the guide. It was very delicious.

I only interacted with two guides on this sightseeing bus, but they were both very friendly and made the experience a lot of fun. I was impressed by how fluent they were in English; they immediately responded in English when asked questions. It made me realize that I need to work harder on my English as well... (laughs)

When I saw this sightseeing bus on my phone, it was an open bus, but since it rained occasionally, it turned into a regular bus, which I regret a little. Next time, I definitely want to ride the open bus and enjoy Osaka at a more leisurely pace.

Thank you for the wonderful memories!

今回初めて大阪を訪れたのですが、時間がない中でできるだけ大阪の街をまわりたいと思いこのバスを利用させていただきました。目的の駅までは若い男性のガイドの方でした。ガイドの方の体験談や豆知識を教えていただいて面白かったです。
道頓堀から帰るときに乗ったバスのガイドの方は女性の方でした。その方は昔のことなども交えながら今の街のことを説明していただいたのでとても面白く大阪を観光できました。
今回は時間がなくて降りるところは道頓堀だけ、と絞っていたのですが、時間調整のために大阪城で少し止まり10分ほど時間があり、降車する時間があるとのことで少しだけですが、大阪城もみることができました。ガイドの方に親子で大阪城をバックに何枚か写真もとっていただけてとても嬉しかったです。
夜はその方におすすめしていただいたお好みやさん風月に行きました。とてもおいしかったです。
この観光バスのガイドの方は2人の方にしかお世話になっていないのですが、とてもフレンドリーな方でとても楽しかったです。英語もペラペラで英語で質問されたらすぐに英語で返しているのがすごいと思いました。私も英語を頑張らなくてはいけないなとも思わされました…笑
ケータイでこの観光バスをみたときはオープンバスだったのですが、時々雨が降ったりしていたので普通のバスになっていたことが少し心残りです。次回はオープンバスに乗って(絶対！)もっとゆっくり大阪を楽しみたいです。
楽しい思い出をありがとうございました。

Good to get get around and see Osaka

Reviewed by: Traveler572

We took the Osaka Wonderloop Bus 2 day bus tour in September 2016.
We found the bus tour enjoyable, the routes it covered around of Osaka were good. The staff were helpful and friendly.
However, there are only 2 buses that run every 70 minutes so if there is only a short time you want to spend a stop or you miss a bus you have to wait quite a while.
During the time we did the tour, the weather forecast stated there would be rain so they had the closed roof coach. There was no audio to guide us about what we were seeing. The staff onboard mentioned a few points of interest now and then but it wasn’t compressive enough compared to other city bus tours we have used in the past.
Overall it was a good way to get around and see Osaka outside instead of travelling around on a Subway train underground.

Recently, I participated in a tour via the Namba route. I had gone to Osaka for some errands and wanted to do a little sightseeing, but since I was unfamiliar with the area and alone, I had given up on that idea. However, I came across this tour online and made an immediate reservation. I thought it would just be a bus ride without any stops for sightseeing, but it turned out to be very relaxing to just stay on the bus and enjoy the views. It was a great deal as we were able to see a lot in a short time. Moreover, since I was the only one, the guide kindly suggested I sit in the front row, allowing me to enjoy the experience comfortably without having to worry about sharing the space. This autumn, I want to ride the Sky Bus in Kyoto.

先日、なんばルートで参加しました。所用で大阪へ行ったついでに、ほんの少し観光したかったのですが……不慣れな土地ですし、一人なのであきらめていたのです、このツアーをネットで
見かけ、即予約しました。下車観光もないし、車窓だけか……と期待していなかったのですが、降りないで、バスに乗っているだけなのがすごく気楽でしたし、短時間でぐるりと回れたのですごくお得でした。その上、一人だけだったので、ガイドさんが空いていた最前列を勧めて下さり、相席で気を遣うこともなく快適に過ごせました。今秋は、京都のスカイバスに乗りたいです。

Osaka Wonder Loop! OSAKAワンダーループ！

Reviewed by: なおすけ

This is my second time using Beltora. This time, since my friend from Nagoya is coming to Osaka, I thought it would be nice to add some fun rather than just taking the train, so I decided to use the Wonder Loop. It was quite empty, possibly due to the time, so I was able to relax and lean back comfortably on the train! The bus takes you to famous tourist spots one after another, so you don’t have to think too much about the schedule, making it very easy and enjoyable. For those who want to fully enjoy Osaka, you can get off at each stop to sightsee, and if you find yourself with some extra time and don’t know what to do, just riding the Wonder Loop bus is great too. It takes about 2 hours for a full loop, so you can enjoy sightseeing from the bus window, and the guide provides detailed information about Osaka, making you feel like a local just by riding the bus! I, who live in Osaka, was very satisfied. Since you can ride for two days without limit, you can fully enjoy Osaka, and it feels like a great deal. I will use it again!

ベルトラさん、2回目の利用です。今回は名古屋の彼が大阪に来るということで、ただ単に電車に乗って移動するよりも、何か楽しさもプラスできたらいいなぁと思って、今回はワンダーループを利用させていただきました。時間的になのか、とてもすいていたので、ゆったりと背もたれを倒して車中でのんびりでしました！有名な観光地から観光地を次々と回ってくれるので、スケジュールもあまり考えなくていいし、とっても楽ですしかなり楽しめます。いっぱい大阪を満喫したい方は、停車場所ごとに降りて観光して満喫できますし、ちょっと時間もて余して暇だしどぅしよ～っていう方は、ワンダーループバスに乗ってるだけで、1周約2時間くらいなので、バスの中から車窓観光ができますし、ガイドさんが丁寧な案内をしてくださるので、いろいろと大阪のことが分かり、バスに乗ってるだけで大阪通になれますよ！大阪に住んでいる私も大満足でした。2日間乗り放題なので、思う存分大阪を満喫できて、お得感もあります。また利用させていただきます！

On our first trip to Osaka, my husband, who doesn't understand Japanese, and I decided to try the double-decker bus experience since we enjoyed it in London. Since it was our first time, we had a hard time finding the meeting place. Thanks to a kind station staff member, we finally arrived just in time. It was a bit cold, but the view from the top deck was amazing. It was a little disappointing that we couldn't get off and explore, but seeing the Glico sign was nostalgic and thrilling for me. We hit a bit of traffic on the way back, but we arrived safely thanks to the careful driving. The guide kindly told us how to get back to our hotel and recommended some restaurants.

日本語の分からない主人と初めての大阪旅行で、ロンドンでの二階建てバス体験が良かったので試すことにしました。何せ初めてなもんで集合場所を探すのに一苦労。親切な駅員さんのお陰で、やっと到着。もう少しで間に合わない所でした。ちょっと寒かったですが、二階からの眺めは最高でした。降りて見れないのがちょっと残念。でもグリコの看板が観れたのは私には懐かしく感激でした。帰り少し渋滞にはまりましたが、安全運転で無事到着。そこからホテルへの帰り方とかお勧めのレストランとか親切にガイドさんが教えてくれました。

Reviewed by: マーちゃんのママ

Since my husband is from Osaka, I've visited the city many times, but this time I had the opportunity to visit my husband's family in Osaka with our son, who just started his job. Until now, we had always traveled by train, so participating in this tour for the first time and being able to explore Osaka's famous spots along with the town's scenery was truly refreshing. The bus guides were all very friendly, cheerful, and engaging, making the tour enjoyable. Even if you don't get off at your desired location, there is about a 10-minute adjustment time at places like Osaka Castle, where the guide took photos of us with the castle in the background. We also received a proper guidebook, which I thought would be great for a sightseeing plan to just go around once while enjoying the experience. Since it has only been four months since the tour started and it was a weekday, there were only a few people on the bus, but I believe that as more people learn about this tour, it will become a new way to enjoy traveling in Osaka. There were also international visitors on board, and the guide provided information in English, which I think would be helpful for practicing English conversation. Next time, I definitely want to join with my daughter, who can speak a little English. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

主人が大阪出身ということもあり大阪には何度も足を運んでいるのですが今回初めて就職したばかりの息子と2人で主人の実家大阪を訪ねることになりました.今までは電車を利用しての移動ばかりだったので今回の企画に初めて参加させていただいて大阪の名所を町並みとともに巡ることができ本当に新鮮な気分でした.バスのガイド案内の人たちも皆とてもフレンドリーで明るく愉快に名所案内を交えて楽しく語り接してくださりとても楽しかったです.自分の行きたい場所に降りなくても大阪城などでは10分ぐらいの調整タイムがあるのでそこで降車してガイドの方が大阪城バックに写真撮影をしてくれました.キチンとしたガイドブックもいただけるのでそれを見ながら観光気分でそのまま1周するプランもいいと思いました(^^)始まってまだ4ヶ月で平日ということもあり為かバスの中は少人数でしたけどももっと多くの方がこれツアーを知って利用されると大阪旅行のまた新たな楽しみ方の1つになると思います.また海外の方々も乗っておられガイドさんが英語を交えての案内もしてくれるので英会話の勉強にもなると思います.今度は私もぜひ英語を少し話せる娘と一緒に参加したいと思います.楽しい思い出をありがとうございました.

My second visit to Osaka was very satisfying. ２度目の大阪訪問は大満足

Reviewed by: 喜多正則

Exploring Osaka in early July, with its continuing summer heat, felt a bit daunting. However, it was a stroke of luck to encounter a two-story open-deck bus that allowed for a comfortable and economical way to stroll through the city. I was glad to ride the Namba route after the Umeda route. It was exhilarating to see the Osaka City Hall, the Bank of Japan Osaka Branch, numerous corporate buildings along Midosuji, famous brand stores, the electronics district, and streets lined with temples, all in one go, including Dotonbori and Shinsekai with the Tsutenkaku Tower. The route back to Osaka Station, with a view of Abeno Harukas, was also impressive. The veteran guide's explanations were precise, which helped me understand the rapidly passing scenery well. I thought it was a great initiative by Kintetsu Bus. The food in Osaka was delicious, and I was satisfied, but I also felt revitalized by the city's vibrancy. I hope to create another opportunity to visit. The bus stop was located at the express bus terminal at the north exit of JR Osaka Station, which was a bit anxiety-inducing for first-time visitors to find. The underground shopping area was indeed vast, filled with many stores, and crowded with pedestrians, making it difficult to navigate. After stopping multiple times to think and not being able to figure it out, I finally found an information center where I received clear directions, which I felt was a wonderful hospitality experience.

Although it was challenging to be on an open-top bus tour in the scorching heat, I appreciated the thoughtful touches like cool air blowing from below, mist spraying from above, free cooling patches, and UV-cut fans provided.

夏日の続く７月初旬の大阪見物はちょっと気が重かった。なんとか楽にしかも経済的に街歩きができないかと思っているところに、２階建てオープンデッキバスに出会ったのは幸運であった。うめだルートに続いてなんばルートに乗ることにしてよかった。大阪市役所、日本銀行大阪支店、御堂筋の数々の大会社のビル、有名ブランド店が軒を連ね、電気屋街、お寺の連なる通り
を過ぎ道頓堀や通天閣のある新世界など一気に見て行けるのは痛快であった。あべのハルカスを望み高速に乗って大阪駅に帰るルートの見応えがあった。ベテランガイドさんの説明も的確で次ぎ次ぎと過ぎゆく景色をよく理解できたのも良かった。近鉄バスの良い企画だと思った。大阪は食べ物も美味しくて満足したが、街の活気にもまた元気をもらった。また機会を作って来たいものである。このバスの乗り場がJR大阪駅北口の高速バスターミナルとなっていたが初めて来た者には探すのに不安であった、駅地下街は実に広く多くの店が立ち並び、通行人も多くごった返す混雑の中、方向もわかり難くなんども立ち止まって考え考えてもわからず、やっと案内所を見つけてわかりやすく教えてもらうことができ、これは素晴らしいおもてなしだなーと感じました。
猛暑の中の屋根なしバスツアーで大変ではありましたが、足元から冷気の噴射、上からミストの噴射、冷えピタの無料配布、UVカットの団扇の備え付けなどの気配りも嬉しかった。

Reviewed by: 喜多正則

After several years, I had the opportunity to visit Osaka. I took a flight from Haneda to Itami. In fact, it was cheaper to round trip by plane than by Shinkansen, so I decided to attend a relative's wedding and stay an extra two nights to explore Osaka. However, I wasn't very familiar with the geography, and the subway and underground shopping areas were complicated, making it a bit challenging for someone coming from Tokyo. Therefore, it was lucky that I encountered a double-decker open-top bus. It helped me get a sense of the city and direction, which was very useful for my subsequent personal activities. The explanations from the veteran guide at places like Ohatsu Tenjin, the Japan Mint, Osaka Castle, and the Osaka Museum of History were extremely helpful. The next day, I decided to take the Umeda route, which made me feel even more excited.

At first, I was a bit anxious about reaching the Osaka Station JR Highway Bus Terminal, but I was grateful for the kind and clear explanations I received at the information center in the underground shopping area. This trip was filled with many acts of kindness. I promptly visited Osaka Castle and the Osaka Museum of History. Both places were crowded with many people, including foreigners, but I felt that I could enjoy the visit in a good atmosphere, which broadened my perspective. The bus had thoughtful measures against the heat, such as mist sprays, cool air from the floor, and UV-cut fans, and I appreciated the free distribution of cooling patches. I would love to visit Osaka again and explore various famous entertainment districts. Overall, I was very satisfied and headed back to Tokyo. Thank you very much.

数年ぶりに大阪観光の機会が巡ってきた。羽田から伊丹へ飛行機の旅。実は新幹線より安く往復できたので、親戚の結婚式に出席して２延泊して大阪見物を決め込んだ。しかし地理がよくわからない、地下鉄や地下街も複雑で東京から来た者には厄介である。そこで２階建てオープンデッキバスにめぐり合えたのはラッキーであった。街の様子や大体の方向感覚を体得して次の個人行動に大変役立った。お初天神、造幣局、大阪城、大阪歴史博物館、中之島などベテランガイドさんの説明が大いに役立った。翌日は梅田ルートに乗ることにして楽しみが増えた感じである。
乗り場の大阪駅JR高速バスターミナルにたどり着くのに初めは不安もあったが駅地下街の案内所で親切にわかりやすく説明していただいたのも有り難かった。たくさんの親切なおもてなしに出会った旅でもあった。大阪城と大阪歴史博物館は早速訪ねた。どちらも外国人を含む多くの人でごった返していたが、良い雰囲気で見学ができ視野も広くなったのを感じます。このバスには、ミストの噴射や足元からの冷気の噴射、UVカットの団扇の備え付けなど暑さ対策が考えられ、冷えピタの無料配布もあってありがたかった。もう一度大阪を訪ねあちらこちらと有名な盛り場を訪ねてみたい。とにかく大満足で帰京の途についた。ありがとうございました。

Double Decker Bus Tour of Osaka's Best Sights

Review on Double Decker Bus Tour of Osaka's Best Sights

Reviewed by: Mark Estadilla

I must say that I enjoyed the double bus tour with my family and friends. The attendant/tour guide was very accommodating. The tour is very organised having an audiophone for English translation of what to see and expect around Osaka. The bus stopped at every tourist spot to give us a good view of the attraction. What the tour had failed, I guess, was to allow its passengers to tour around/inside each attraction for 15 mins or so. This will give us better appreciation of Osaka's best sights than having to see it from afar. I have been having a hard time taking quality pictures as we are not allowed to stand up (Window glasses of the bus can be quite a distraction from the photos). I would appreciate it more if the tour guide can give us a deeper explanation on each attraction. While I recognise all the effort of the bus tour, I must say that I enjoyed it though but not as much as I expected. Cheers!

Reviewed by: Joana Castillo

We went there without knowing much of a japanese language so they gave us a radio that is a recorded english guide for the tour. It was a nice experience. We sat at the top of the bus so we were able to really see Osaka out in the open. There are even some japanese citizens who wave hi at us. It was a lively tour. The bus driver and the guide herself are very accommodating all throughout the course. (I do hope I could understand some of the tour guide's jokes though :P). Overall it was a a very nice experience. We were able to cross throughout osaka while being relaxed at the same time. I just hope next time they'll take more time to stop at a certain tourist spot so we could take much of good pictures.

Double Decker Bus Tour of Osaka's Best Sights

Beginners Tour - relax and easy

Reviewed by: Gen C. - Dragonlady

The tour was great for first timer especially in Osaka. It was our first time in Japan and we didn't know what to expect. The tour showed us how Japan in general, the streets, the places to go, how far each landmark that we are planning to go to from each other. The tour we took is the south course which is basically the Namba area, there's also the North course which includes the Osaka castle. Its a good thing we took the south course as we didn't have time to explore the south side. It gives you an overview and a good break from walking. I highly recommend it if you have old folks with you as it will give them time to relax and still see the city. The audio was ok but it would have been nicer if there's more history being told in between instead of music. There was a lot of music in between, which, unfortunately, put my grandmother and my parents to sleep, hahaha...There is a free wi-fi on the bus which is great. Also, you can probably request at the end of the tour to drop you off in Umeda Sky tower instead of bringing you back in Osaka Train station as they ask us if we wanted to be drop off to Osaka station, so I guess there is an option. Overall, it is nice, relaxing, and an easy alternative to see the city of Osaka.

Osaka Tour

Reviewed by: Debz

It was a good tour although we expect a hop-on, hop-off type of tour but nonetheless the guide was very nice and accommodating. The english audio guide is good but it would also be nice if the tour guide could speak English as well. The tour was a smooth flowing tour of the city and gave us a good glimpse of the must see places in Osaka. Too bad we were a bit tired from our trip that I fell asleep on the last part of the tour. We were lucky because the weather was cooperating and it was not sunny but not raining as well, just a little overcast. All in all, I recommend this tour as a start off for tourists who wanted to have a short glimpse of what must one see while in Osaka.

Easy sightseeing with a digest format, plus an incredible sense of presence!! ダイジェストで楽々観光、しかも臨場感抜群！！

Reviewed by: 札幌夫婦観光旅行

My spouse and I, in our 60s, traveled from Hokkaido to Osaka for sightseeing. Transferring trains and walking can be quite exhausting, so we searched for a relaxing tour and found one! The price is reasonable, and the bus makes it easy. The access to the departure point is excellent, and it includes a guide. Plus, it's a double-decker bus with an open ceiling. This is the way to go! The route covers all the key points and takes you to delicious spots. I should mention that sitting in the back offers a better view than sitting in the front.

The only downside is that the legroom in the seats is a bit cramped. Here are the details: I honestly didn't have high expectations given the price, but I was very satisfied. The guide was also very likable, and the explanations were clear. Just a heads up, the bus doesn't have a restroom, so be mindful before boarding. Since this is a sightseeing tour while the bus is in motion, make sure not to miss any moments. There is only one stop aside from waiting at traffic signals. Even if the time and cost increase a bit (from the user's perspective, I feel that up to 800 yen is reasonable), it would be nice to have stops at photo spots.

夫婦（60代）で、北海道から大阪観光。電車の乗継、歩きは正直しんどいので、ラクラクツアーを検索していたら、ヒット！！。　価格がお手頃。バスで楽々。発着所へのアクセス抜群。ガイド付き。そして、2階建バスで、天井がオープン。これしか無いですね。実際も、ポイントを押さえたルートで、美味しいとこ取りです。前方に座るより、後方の方が見やすい事を付け加えて置きます。★マイナス1個は、座席の足スペースが狭い事。以下詳細説明：この価格だったので、正直あまり期待していませんでしたが、満足度は高いです。ガイドさんも好感度が高いです。説明もわかりやすかったです。バスにはトイレがついていないので、乗車前は注意。あくまで、走行しながらの観光なので一瞬を見逃さないようにして下さい。信号待ち以外で停車する所は一か所のみです。時間と代金が多少アップしても（利用者サイドの感覚では、800円までならリーズナブルと感じる範囲です。）写真スポットでの停車があってもいいかな。

A pleasant breeze! 気持ちのいい風！

Reviewed by: ami☆

On May 8th (Sunday), the last day of Golden Week, I participated with a friend who was visiting from my hometown.

Along with about 10 others, including families, friends, and international travelers, we departed from Osaka Station at the scheduled time of 10:30! The weather was nice, and the breeze on the open-top bus felt wonderful.

Although I was familiar with Osaka Station and the areas around Ohatsu Tenjin and Yodoyabashi, I was reminded that each building has its own history. I learned that Shinsaibashi is Osaka's version of Ginza, that Namba's Kuromon Market is bustling with international visitors, and that Tanimachi is filled with temples... there was so much I didn't know! I wouldn't have noticed that there are climbing rocks for free climbing (currently not in use) on the wall of the general amusement facility along Midosuji if I hadn't taken this bus.

Abeno Harukas is impressively tall. It's no surprise that it has Japan's highest observation deck. The street just one block behind Den Den Town is Otaku Road. On weekends, the Nipponbashi area becomes a pedestrian paradise, hosting a street festival. I learned a lot of things that I wouldn't have known without actually visiting.

After touring Minami, we got on the expressway to return to Osaka Station. From the expressway, we could look down on the cityscape of Osaka from an even higher vantage point. We passed by FM OSAKA's dome and the Statue of Liberty in America-mura, and made our way between the Festival Hall and the Daido Life Building to arrive at Osaka Station.

Feeling the pleasant breeze and getting to know Osaka from various angles made for a very enjoyable sightseeing tour.

5月8日（日）ゴールデンウィークの最終日に、地方出身・在阪のわたしと、地元から遊びに来ていた友達と2人で参加しました。

ご家族連れ、お友達同士、海外からの旅行客など約10名と一緒に、10：30予定時刻どおりに大阪駅を出発！
いいお天気だったので、開放的なバスの2階で受ける風はとても気持ちが良かったです。

見慣れた大阪駅やお初天神・淀屋橋界隈でしたが、ひとつひとつの建物に歴史があることに改めて気づかされました。 また、心斎橋が大阪の銀座であること、難波の黒門市場が海外のお客さんでにぎわっていること、谷町はお寺でいっぱい・・・知らないことだらけでした！
御堂筋沿いの総合アミューズメント施設壁面でフリークライミング用の石や岩（※現在は使用不可）があることは、このバスに乗らなければ気づかなかったと思います。

阿倍野ハルカスがまあ大きいこと大きいこと。日本一高い展望台があることに納得です。
でんでんタウンの1本奥の道がオタロード。土日には日本橋界隈は歩行者天国になり、ストリートフェスタが開催されるとのこと。
実際に訪れなければ知らないことをたくさん教えていただきました。

ミナミを周遊したのち、高速に乗って大阪駅へ戻ります。
高速に乗るぶん、地上よりもさらに高い位置から大阪の町並みを見下ろせます。
FM OSAKAのドームやアメ村の自由の女神を横に眺め、フェスティバルホールと大同生命ビルの間を通り抜け大阪駅に到着です。

気持ちのいい風を感じながら、いろいろな角度から大阪を知れて、とても楽しい観光ツアーでした。

The sense of openness is amazing. There might be new discoveries. 開放感　最高です。　新しい発見があるかも

Reviewed by: Yagyu

I participated during Golden Week. It was a tour departing at 10:30. Since it was a weekday in the middle of the holiday, there were about 15 participants. The tour guide told us that since there were only this many participants, we could sit wherever we liked. We were handed an interpreter iPod for the foreign guests, and we set off. The double-decker bus provided a sense of openness as it was higher than a regular bus. Immediately after departure, we turned left and were surprised at how close we were to Umeda Station. We received explanations about Sonezaki Police Station, Ohatsu Tenjin, Umeda Shinchi, and Yodoyabashi along Midosuji. I learned for the first time that the road connecting Kitamido and Minamido is called Midosuji. I had thought that Mido Hall was only for funerals, so that was a new discovery for me. Then we headed south down the brand street in Shinsaibashi, and the weather was so nice it was almost hot. Hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen are essential. I also discovered that there are many temples along Sennichimae and Matsuyamachi. We received explanations about the new face of Nipponbashi. After turning at Spa World and passing Tennoji Zoo on the left, we arrived at the drop-off point after turning left onto Tanimachi. I rode all the way to Umeda, but some people got off here. As we headed north on Tanimachi, it was interesting to learn about the temple where Sanada Nobushige was defeated and the origin of the name Tanimachi in sumo. It was an adventure to pass through the ETC gate on the Hanshin Expressway just in time. The hour flew by as we passed Festival Hall and buildings that the Hanshin Expressway runs through.

ゴールデンウィークに参加しました。10：30発のツアーです。連休のハザマの平日ですので参加者は15名くらいかな？添乗員さんがこれだけの参加者ですので好きな座席にお座り下さいと言って頂けました。通訳のipodを外国の方に渡され出発です。2階建てバスなので普通のバスよりもう一段高く開放感があります。出発後すぐに左折して梅田駅の高架ですがすごく近くてビックリです。御堂筋で曽根崎警察、お初天神、梅田新地、淀屋橋など解説いただきました。特に北御堂と南御堂をつなぐ道が御堂筋と解説いただきはじめて知りました。御堂会館はお葬式はするなと思っていたので新発見でした。それから心斎橋のブランド通りを南下してとても天気良く暑いくらいです。帽子やサングラス、日焼け止めは必須ですね。千日前から松屋町筋でお寺の多いのも新発見です。日本橋の新しい顔も解説いただきました。スパワールドを曲がり天王寺動物園を左に見て谷町を左折すると降車場所です。私は梅田まで乗りましたがここで降りられた方もいらっしゃいました。それから谷町を北上すると真田信繁が討ち取られたお寺や、お相撲の谷町の名の由来など面白かったです。阪神高速にのりETCのゲートぎりぎりに通過したのはアドベンチャーです。フェスティバルホール、阪神高速が貫通するビルなどあっという間の1時間です。

Double Decker Bus Tour of Osaka's Best Sights

Osaka Bus Tour

Reviewed by: Erick

I went on this tour a couple days ago. The pick up location was somewhat easy to find after I went to the tourist information center, but they could use a small map or some pictures of exactly where to meet. The bus was new and in good condition. The seats are a bit small especially for tall people. The audio device was helpful but two third of the time it was playing classical music. They could use some upgrades or additions to the audio device files for it to be more informative. The tour guide seemed to be saying a lot more in Japanese than the audio guide was delivering. The audio guide itself was a sony walkman/ipod looking thing. It was also new and in good condition they also supply a pair of headphones, but I would bring my own if possible. All in all it was a good experience and worth the money.

Chilly spring in Osaka 花冷えの大阪

Reviewed by: 足立富子

On April 11, I participated in a monitor ride on a two-story open-deck bus. I had been looking forward to it since I saw it on the news. We rode the bus and toured Osaka from the high seats. I discovered a mix of old and new Osaka, including historic temples in the temple district and the modern Abeno Harukas. There were many places I wanted to revisit later. The guide provided clear explanations at various spots during the ride, which was very helpful.

Inside the bus, there was a diverse mix of travelers, including families from Spain, couples, and groups of friends. Unfortunately, the temperature was low that day, and we had to wrap ourselves in the blankets we borrowed while shivering through the tour, but it turned out to be a fun and satisfying day. After getting off the bus, I immediately walked towards the Daido Life Building, which became famous from a morning drama I saw from the bus. Unfortunately, it was closed on Mondays, so I couldn't visit, but I plan to go again when I get the chance. Of course, I also intend to ride the Umeda course. Thank you for that day.

４月１１日に２階建てオープンデッキバスのモニター乗車に参加しました。

バスの中は、スペインからの旅行中の家族や、ご夫婦、友達グループなど多士済々国際色豊かでした。当日はあいにく気温が低くお借りした毛布をかぶって震えながらのツアーに
なりましたが楽しく満足できた一日になりました。降車後早速バスから見た朝ドラで有名になった大同生命ビルを目指して歩きました。残念ながら月曜休館とのことで見学はできませんでしたが機会を見つけて再度行く予定です。もちろん梅田コースにも乗車しようと思っています。当日はありがとうございました。
