Osaka
Since I live in Osaka and had never taken the city sightseeing bus, I rode it with my elderly mother at her request. The weather was nice, and the cherry blossoms were just starting to bloom, which was great. The open roof was perfect for the season. If I have the chance again, I would like to ride it in a different season.
大阪に住んでいて市内観光バスに乗ったことがなかったので、高齢の母に頼まれたこともあり一緒に乗りましたが、お天気にも恵まれ桜もチラホラ咲き始めで良かったです。天井があいていて季節的にはちょうど良かったです。
また機会があれば、違う季節に乗りたいと思いました。
It's suitable for anyone who can do city sightseeing in about an hour, so I recommend it. Since there are no English announcements for foreigners, I think you can still enjoy the scenery.
どんな人で1時間くらいで市内観光ができるので、おすすめです。外人さんは英語のアナウンスがないので景色だけでも楽しめると思います。
It was cold, but I was happy to receive a heat pack. The explanation was very easy to understand. The driving was safe, and I was able to ride with peace of mind. Since it was my first experience, I made great memories.
寒かったなのですがカイロを頂き嬉しかったです。説明がとてもわかりやすかった。運転も安全で安心して乗ることができました。初めての体験だったのでいい思い出ができました。
The view from the high vantage point of the double-decker bus was refreshing, and the guide's explanations were easy to understand and interesting, making for a very meaningful experience!
2階建バスならではの高い視線からの景色が新鮮だったのとガイドさんのお話がわかりやすくて面白くもありとても有意義な時間を過ごさせていただきました♪
It was a very valuable experience. I also recommended it to my friends living in Osaka.
とても価値のある体験でした。大阪在住の友人にも勧めておきました。
I rode with my 71-year-old mother. It was surprisingly enjoyable, and the hour flew by. In addition to the spots included in the route, we could catch glimpses of Osaka's streets (such as Ohatsu Tenjin Shopping Street, Shinsaibashi's brand street, Kuromon Market, Teramachi, Tanimachi, etc.) along with explanations from the guide. The double-decker bus with no roof offered a great view and felt refreshing.
71歳の母と一緒に乗車しました。想像以上に楽しくあっという間の1時間でした。ルートに組み込まれたスポット以外にも、大阪の街並み(お初天神通り商店街、心斎橋のブランド街、黒門市場、寺町、谷町等々)をガイドさんの説明と共にチラ見できます。2階建バス且屋根無しは見晴らしがよく新鮮でした。
This time, my daughter, granddaughter, and I participated together as three generations 😊 We stayed in Kyoto and decided to go to Osaka, where we were able to tour the famous sights by bus, and we were very satisfied ♥️ The weather was clear and sunny, and it felt great to ride on the double-decker bus ☺️
今回娘娘孫て女3代で参加させて頂きました😊京都に泊まって、大阪に行こうと言う事になら、バスで大阪名所観光出来て、とても満足でした♥️天気も快晴で、二階建てバスに乗って気持ち良かったです☺️
This is a short trip where we rush through famous landmarks in Osaka with the guidance of a tour guide. Although we didn't make any stops, the view from the second floor of the bus was great, and the early spring breeze was pleasant. The guide's explanations were precise.
大阪の有名な名所をガイドさんの案内で駆け抜けるショートトリップです。
途中下車はしませんが、バスの2階からの眺めがよく、早春の風が心地よかったです。
ガイドさんの説明が的確でした。
Let's check the weather forecast before making a reservation.
天気予報をチェックしてから予約しましょう。
The ride was comfortable with safe driving. Since it was cold, I appreciated the services like receiving hand warmers and blankets. It was my first time riding, and I had a great time. The explanations were easy to understand as well.
安全運転で乗り心地がよかったです。寒いからカイロをいただいたり、膝掛けなどサービスがよかったです。初めて乗ったけど、楽しかったです。説明もわかりやすかったです
Since the songs featuring "Midosuji" were highlighted by each decade, both my mother and I were able to reminisce and enjoy the music from each other's eras.
Although my mother has a bad back, she was able to tour the famous spots just by sitting down, and she was very pleased to receive witty explanations at each location.
「御堂筋」が歌われている曲を各年代毎に取り上げてくれたため、母もわたしもお互いの年代の曲を思い出して楽しめました
腰の悪い母ですが、座っているだけで名所を巡ることができて、各所で軽妙な説明をいただき大変喜んでいました
As for the meeting place, the guide map does not indicate the boarding gate number, so please check the electronic display board for confirmation.
集合場所ですが、案内図には乗車口番号が書かれていませんので電光掲示板を確認するなどして確認ください
I enjoyed it as expected, but there was an unpleasant experience when boarding. Although the seats were supposed to be assigned, the bus company didn't know the seat numbers, which caused some confusion. I only received an email stating that the seats were assigned without any prior notification of the seat numbers. I would appreciate it if this could be clarified in advance next time.
期待通り楽しめましたが、乗車の際席が決まっているはずなのに、バス会社の方では番号がわからないとかで揉めてしまい、不愉快な思いをしました。事前にこちらにも座席番号の連絡もなく座席が決まったとのメールのみでしたので、事前にきちんとわかるようにしていただきたいと思います。
I traveled with my elderly mother and my elementary school-aged child. We were tired from walking around sightseeing, so it was nice to rest our feet while getting information from the announcements inside the vehicle, which made our sightseeing experience comfortable. The places we visited on foot offered a fresh perspective from a higher viewpoint, and the new locations we saw will be helpful for our next visit!
高齢の母と、小学生の子どもとの3人で利用。観光で歩き疲れていたので、足を休めながら、車内アナウンスで情報が得られ、快適に観光できました。歩いて訪れた場所は目線が高く新鮮に、初めて見る場所は次回の参考になりました!
It's better to participate in clothing that can adjust to hot and cold temperatures.
暑い、寒いの調節ができる服装で参加したほうが良いですよ。
This is my second time participating.
It was amazing again this year; the view of the illuminations from a high moving position was completely different from what you see on the ground.
The guide's explanations were wonderful and enjoyable, and I learned things I didn't know before (like the fact that the plants in the department store window frames are real and maintained by people).
I would like to participate again.
二度目の参加です。
今年も最高でした、動く高い位置から見るイルミネーション、地上で見る景色とは
全然違ってました。
ガイドさんの案内も素敵で楽しくて、知らなかった事(デパートの窓枠の植木も本物で、人が手入れしている事など)教えてもらえました。
又参加したいと思ってます。
It's very cold, so make sure to take proper measures to keep warm.
とっても寒いので、防寒対策をばっちりしてください。
It was my second trip to Osaka since my high school field trip. I was excited to ride on a double-decker bus for the first time. The tour guide's explanations allowed me to learn more about the city, which was really great. It became a wonderful memory of the trip.
高校生の修学旅行以来、2度目の大阪旅行でした。
初めての二階建てバスにワクワクしました。
添乗員さんの説明がありますので、大阪の街をより深く知ることが出来てとても良かったです。旅のいい思い出になりました。
I went from Umeda to Namba via Midosuji. From Namba, we took the Hanshin Expressway loop. It was an open-top bus, so I was glad it was sunny. However, it was really cold due to the strong winds while driving on the expressway with the top down. The illuminations were beautiful.
梅田から御堂筋を通って難波へ。難波から阪神高速1周。オープントップバスなので、晴れててよかった。高速道路をオープントップで走るので 強風で 激寒でした。イルミネーション 綺麗でした。
Make sure to take proper measures against the cold and enjoy!
防寒対策 しっかりして楽しんでください
I have seen the Midosuji light-up many times while walking, but this time I learned about this tour during my trip to Osaka with my wife. This was my first time participating in this bus tour, and the view from the open-top double-decker bus was a completely different world compared to what I had seen from below. The guide's explanations were precise, and I was able to deeply reaffirm the charm of the Midosuji light-up.
これまで何度も歩きながら見ていた御堂筋ライトアップですが、今回家内との大阪旅行でこのツアーを知りました。
このバスツアーは初めて参加しましたが、二階建てバスのオープントップから見る景色は、これまで下から見てきた景色とは異なる別世界でした。
ガイドさんの説明も適格で、とても深く御堂筋来トップの魅力を再確認できました。
In winter, it can be cold depending on the day. Moreover, since it's an open-top bus, I recommend dressing warmly to participate.
冬場は日にもよりますが寒いです。
しかもオープントップバスですので、ある程度着こんでの参加をお勧めします。
I watched the double-decker bus tour on TV and my computer, and the 60-minute ride was more comfortable than I imagined. The explanations while driving and the refreshing feeling of traveling on the highway can only be experienced by actually riding the bus.
テレビやパソコンで、2階建てバスの視聴しましたが、60分の乗車は、想像以上に快適でした。走行しながらの説明や、高速道路を走る爽快さは、乗車しないと味わえません。
Since it was an open car, I was worried about the cold, but they had blankets and heat packs prepared.
オープンカーなので、寒さを心配しましたが、膝かけやカイロが用意してありました。
I was able to visit the famous spots in Osaka all at once, and the explanations were thorough, allowing me to have a very fulfilling time. The open-deck bus provided a sense of freedom.
大阪の名所を一気に回れて、丁寧に説明もしていただき、とっても充実した時間を過ごせました。オープンデッキバスは開放感がありました。
It might be better to avoid seasons that are too cold or too hot.
寒すぎるもしくは暑すぎるシーズンは避けた方が良いかもしれません。
The open-top bus was a bit cold, but the guide's explanations were clear, interesting, and it was a fun mini trip on the bus.
オープントップバスちょっと寒いけど、ガイドさんの案内がわかりやすく面白く楽しいバスのミニ旅行でした。
It was a bit cold in winter, but I had a great time.
冬にはちょっと寒いけど、楽しかったです。
The weather was wonderful, and my friends who I invited were very impressed. This was my third time participating, but after a six-year gap, the town had changed quite a bit, and my memories were a bit hazy, so it took me some time to find the bus stop that I thought I would easily locate. I also visited the nearby Umeda Sky Building's floating garden and the Christmas market, so I was happy to fully enjoy the Christmas season.
お天気に恵まれ、誘った友達も大変感激していました。私にとっては、3回目の参加でしたが、6年のブランクがあり、町の様子もかなり変化し、記憶もあいまいになっていたので、すぐにたどり着けるだろうと思っていたバス乗場を見つけるのに時間がかかりました。近くの梅田スカイビルの空中庭園や、クリスマスマーケットにも行ったので、クリスマスシーズンを満喫できて、幸せでした。
You should check the bus stop in advance!
バス停チェックを前もってしておくべきです!
I am from another prefecture. Every time my friends come to visit, we take this ride. Even though it's the same course, it felt fresh on the second time. Next time, I will try a different course. I will arrive at Osaka Station before noon, so if I can make a lunch reservation, I will definitely be satisfied.
他県出身者です。友人が遊びにくるたび、乗車しています。同じコースなのに2回目でも新鮮でした。次回は別のコースにしてみます。昼前に大阪駅に到着するので、ランチの予約があれば満足間違いなしです。
There are stairs. On cold days, they also lent me a lap blanket.
階段があります。寒い日にはひざ掛けも貸していただきました。
I couldn't take good photos while sitting down. I wish we could have driven a bit slower and taken some more stops instead of getting on the highway.
座ったままで良い写真が撮影出来ませんでした
高速道路に乗らずもう少しゆっくり走ったり停車時間を取ったりして欲しかったです
It would have been nice to have designated stops along Midosuji where we could take photos.
御堂筋各所に停車場所を設けて、立ち写真の撮影を出来る時間があれば良かったです
I couldn't make a reservation last year due to hospitalization, so it was a three-year wait for this experience! My wife counted down the days, and we finally participated. It was even more beautiful than we expected, and it was surprising to see traffic lights and signs so close, almost within reach! The view from the highway and the tour guide's commentary were also enjoyable. Thank you for a wonderful time!
入院等あり去年は予約が取れず3年越しの体験でした!妻は指折り数えていざ参加。期待以上に綺麗で、普段の目線と違うので信号機や標識が手が届きそうな所にあるのにびっくり‼️高速道路からの眺めと添乗員さんのしゃべりも楽しいですよ。楽しい時間をありがとうございました。
It's cold, so please dress warmly and bundle up before you go.
寒いので暖かくして着込んで行ってください。
The day I used it, the weather was nice, and since it was a 2nd-floor open bus, the breeze on my face felt refreshing, and I was able to experience a great sense of freedom.
利用させて頂いた日は、気候も良く2Fオープンバスなので顔にあたる風も爽快でとても開放を感じる事が、できました🌁👌🌁
Since you're going to the trouble, I think you'll enjoy it even more if you check the weather forecast thoroughly before participating! 🎵
せっかくなので天気予報をしっかりとチェックして参加されるとより楽しめると思いますよ🎵
The illumination was at eye level and very close, which was amazing. The bus also drove slowly, and it was great to be running through the tunnel of lights the whole time. The guide explained various things, making it easy to understand.
イルミネーションが、目の高さにあり凄く近くて最高でした。バスもゆっくり走ってくれて、ずっと光のトンネルの中を走っていて良かったです。ガイドさんが色々説明してくれて分かりやすかったですよ。
The scenery was completely different from what I usually see from cars or trains, and I was surprised at how beautiful places like Tsutenkaku and Abeno Harukas looked. I was really scared because it felt like the bus was going to hit the traffic lights and signs. Additionally, on the highway, the distance from the bus at the beginning was very close, which was quite frightening. However, it was a lot of fun and a great experience. I want to ride again.
いつも、車や、電車などで見ている景色とは、全く違くて通天閣や、あべのハルカスなど、いつも見る景色と更に、綺麗に見えてビックリしました。信号や、看板に、バスが当たりそうでとても怖かったです。更に、高速道路では、最初のところでバスとの距離がギリギリだったのでとても怖かったです。でも、とても楽しかったし、とても良い経験になりました。また乗りたいです
Instead of looking out the window, I want you to try looking at the ceiling (sky) of the bus without a roof.
窓の外を眺めるのでは無く、屋根がないバスの天井(空)見てみて欲しいです。
I traveled with my elderly mother, who has difficulty walking. The weather was nice and the climate was pleasant, and my mother really enjoyed herself. Considering her mobility issues, I was concerned about the travel logistics, but it was great to explore the sightseeing spots by bus.
足が悪い高齢の母との旅行で利用。天気もよく気持ちのいい気候で、母もとても楽しんでいました。母の足のことを考えると移動だけでも気を遣いますが、バスに乗っての観光地巡りでとてもよかったです。
You need to check the electronic display board on the day to find out which platform number to use for the JR highway bus, so be careful about that.
JR高速バス乗り場の何番乗り場かは当日の電光掲示板で確認しないといけないのが要注意です。
I'm from Osaka, and I made a reservation because I wanted to experience this. Usually, I enjoy the illuminations while walking along Midosuji, but it was refreshing to see it from a different height this time. The guide's explanations were also great.
What surprised me was the fact that we were driving on the highway in that condition. The ladies were squealing with excitement (laughs). It felt a bit like a small attraction too.
大阪人ですが、体験したくて予約しました。普段は御堂筋を歩きながらイルミネーションを楽しむのですが、いつもより違った高さで新鮮でした。ガイドさんの説明も良かったです。
驚いたのは、あの状態で高速道路を走るという点。おばちゃんたちはキャーキャー言っていました(笑)ちょっとしたアトラクション気分も味わえます。
Don't forget to prepare for cold weather.
防寒対策忘れずに
It was a great experience to enjoy a different view from the open deck. I'm glad I could use the short amount of free time efficiently.
オープンデッキで通常と異なる景観が味わえて良い経験でした
空いた時間の短時間で効率的に利用できてよかった
The guide's explanations were really articulate and enjoyable. It was my first time on a double-decker sightseeing bus with a sunroof, and the perspective was different from usual. Thank you very much.
ガイドを担当された方の説明が本当に滑舌も良く楽しかったです。サンルーフで初めての二階建て観光バスでいつもと視点が違ってました。ありがとうございました。
The season was nice, so it wasn't too much of a concern, but I think it's necessary to be creative with what to wear during times when the sunlight and temperature differences are extreme.
季節が良かったので、あまり気にならなかったですが日差しや温暖の差が激しい時は着るものの工夫などが必要かと思われます。
I'm glad I was able to see the sights in a limited amount of time. The views of Osaka Castle from various angles were particularly nice. The people walking by were friendly and even waved at me.
It was still quite hot for the season.
名所を限られた時間で見ることができて良かったです。特に色々な角度からの大阪城が良かったです。
歩いてる人も手を振ってくれたりフレンドリーでした。
まだ季節的に暑かったのです。
I think sitting in front of the seat allows for a better view.
席の前に座った方がより前が見えると思います。
Running above ground helped me understand the geography of Osaka better than the subway. I also found the bus guide's explanations enjoyable, filled with the essence of Osaka.
地上を走るので地下鉄より大阪の地理感が
わかってよかった
バスガイドの説明も楽しく大阪色が溢れていたと思う
