We've been to many places, and our Japan tour is the best experience, both tour & tour guide. We will surely go back and book the same tour. And this time, my whole family. Thank you City Discovery.

During this season, the second floor was cold, but it was refreshing to look down at the streets of Tokyo from above. I would appreciate it if you could increase the number of trains a bit more.
この季節、2階は寒かったが東京の町並みを上から眺めるのは爽快であった。本数をもう少し増やしていただけると有難い

The advantage of this tour is the view of Minato Mirai 21 area and factories in Yokohama and Kawasaki, which you can enjoy only from the sea.
The boat may rock with waves depending on the weather.
The participants of the tour are seated on a bench on the rear deck with life jackets on, which are provided.
You need some protection against cold winds that blow when the boat moves.You'd better bring a coat, a pair of gloves, a scarf and a knitted cap.
There's no space for a tripod for camera.
Food and drinks are allowed on board, but I'd suggest that you refrain from beverages because there isn't any washroom.

This was a great way for my family and I to tour Tokyo. Using the trains you cannot see the city, and it was very useful to see how to get around Tokyo and how the neighborhoods connect. We stopped at Sky Tree, Asakusa, Akihabara and Nihonbashi, and had enough time to explore each place without rushing. My parents really enjoyed it.

I took a friend from overseas who just started working in Tokyo. We took the SKY HOP bus with the greatest weather. It made our day the best. Even though I live in Tokyo, thanks to the guide I found something new in Tokyo. It truly changed my mood by sightseeing, shopping and the lunch. The sightseeing course is perfect for couples or families. Today we took only one course from the three. Next time I would like to try the others.

I participated in the Honmoku Negishi course. The night view was beautiful, and I enjoyed the captain's talk. It was the last weekend of October, and although there was no wind and it was a calm day, it was quite cold. They lend you a blanket, but I recommend taking sufficient measures to keep warm.

I went sightseeing in Tokyo at the request of a friend who is being transferred overseas for a long term! The weather was great, and the breeze from the SKY HOP bus felt wonderful. With a guide accompanying us, I discovered new things about Tokyo, even though I live here. It was a nice change of pace with sightseeing, shopping, and lunch! I think it would be enjoyable for dates or families as well. Today, we only went through one of the three courses, but I felt like I wanted to try a different course next time!
長期海外転勤になる友人の希望で東京観光をしました!!
天気も良く、SKY HOPバスならでわの風が気持ち良く最高です。ガイドさんもついて、東京在住ですが新しい東京の発見がありました。
観光、ショッピング、ランチと良い気分転換になりました!

今日は3コース中1コースだけ回りましたが、次は別のコースも行きたいと感じました!

I had a one-day ticket, so I rode twice, first at 10:20, from Marunouchi to Skytree, second at 17:30 from Marunouchi to Odaiba. When I was on the first row, it felt like a rollercoaster even though it was a normal curve. You can see a 360 degree panoramic view in the middle as well as in the back. It was so overwhelming. I would highly recommend it for small children. As a grownup, I enjoyed the bus guide’s story, full of knowledge.

The Nikko tour element of this trip was very fun, and the long trip there was made enjoyable by our delightful guide Amy (although I still can't get the song she had us sing out of my head). The temple was beautiful and the local environment a delight.
The unguided element at Edo Wonderland was a lot of fun, and one of our group even got dragged on stage to fumble through some scripted Japanese (we still don't know what he said, but the audience found it funny). The place itself had some of the hallmarks of a tourist trap, but these were easily overlooked when charmed by the friendly staff and casual atmosphere.
Don't miss the chance to dress up and have your picture taken!

I was a bit concerned about the heat, but the seaside breeze was refreshing, and sitting outside on the boat felt comfortable with the pleasant wind. It was much better than being in the muggy city. The cruise itself felt like being in a near-future movie, and I can understand why it's so popular. There were large international cruise ships, and I think people coming from abroad must be amazed by Japan. Among the international ports I've seen recently, this one stands out as exceptionally modern and grand in scale. I'm once again surprised by how incredible Japan is. Even if it's not a sunny day, I don't think this cruise is significantly affected when it comes to enjoying the night views. I had a great time. The captain of the Santa Barbara was also a really nice person, full of service spirit, explaining things while quickly taking us to the front and getting us close to the highlights, providing great service and making it a lot of fun. I would love to go again if I have the chance.
Oh, taking photos of the night view is difficult, and it's hard to get good shots with a compact camera or a phone. But I recommend it.
暑い中、どうかなと思ったのですが、海辺は海風が涼しく、船も外側に座っていたのですが、風が気持ちよくて快適でした。蒸し暑い街中にいるよりずっと良かった。クルーズそのものも、まるで近未来の映画の中にいるようで、人気なのも頷けました。大きな国際客船がいましたが、海外から来る人たちも日本って凄いと思うんじゃないかな。昨今見た海外の国際港の中では群を抜いて近代的でスケールが大きい。日本って凄いんだと改めてびっくり。晴れの日でなくてもこのクルーズはあまり夜景を楽しむのにさほどの影響は無いと思います。とても楽しめました。サンタバルカの船長さんも凄く良い人で、サービス精神に溢れていて、あれやこれやと解説しながら高速で前の方に乗せてくれたり、見どころには近寄せてくれたり、大サービスで頑張ってくださって、とても楽しかったです。また機会があれば行っても良いな。
あ、夜景の写真って難しくて、ちゃんとした写真はコンデジや携帯のなんちゃって写真ではなかなかびしっといきません。でもお薦め。

The one day tour to Mt. Fuji was very interesting. The bus accommodations were comfortable and our tour guide knowledgeable. Standing at the fifth station was amazing and being about to look up at Mt. Fuji was wonderful. We rode the cable car for a spectacular view of the lake and surrounding area and took a boat ride on the lake below Mt. Fuji. Would I do the tour again? Yes but there are some things to be prepared to understand. The traffic was so heavy leaving Tokyo that it took an additional hour to get there. We only had a 15 minute rest stop which was barely enough time to buy a beverage and a snack. Because of the traffic, we did not get to enjoy the visitor's center. They stopped there for a potty break but we only had five minutes there so we missed all the exhibits. The worst part of the trip was the bus ride from Mt. Fuji to Shinkansen to catch the bullet train back to the city. We had to cross the mountains on a winding road and in his haste to get us there in time, the bus driver, although safe, made my son and granddaughter sick from the motion on the bus. I was seated in the front row so it was not as bad for me. This part of the journey was not mentioned at all prior to the end of our tour.

I wanted to ride the red buses I saw around the city, so I signed up. I thought the one-day pass was only valid for the day it was exchanged, but it’s actually valid for 24 hours from the time of exchange. I was surprised it was valid until the next day (though I didn’t use it…).
I took two routes: one around the Tokyo Skytree and another around Odaiba. Each route takes about an hour. I was able to get off at the Skytree and stroll around Solamachi.
What surprised me was that the bus runs on the highway. Riding an open-top bus on the Shuto Expressway and crossing the Rainbow Bridge is a rare experience, and I can recommend this ticket just for that.
However, even in late March, it starts to get cold after around 4 PM. I think late April would be a better season. The guide's explanations were enjoyable, but sometimes their voice was too soft or they spoke too quickly, which was a downside.
Also, some bus stops were hard to find and in slightly awkward locations. For example, at Senso-ji Temple, I worried about whether I could reach it after being dropped off there! There might be regulations affecting this, but I hope improvements can be made.
Still, I think it’s fun for even those living in the city to ride just for a bit of a change!
街中で見かける赤いバスに乗ってみたくなって申し込み。
1日券って引き替えた日のみかと思ったら、引き替えた時間から24時間なんですね。次の日まで有効でびっくり。(使いませんでしたけど…)
スカイツリーをまわるコースとお台場をまわるコースの2つに乗車。1コースおおむね1時間程度ですね。途中でスカイツリー下車をしてソラマチをぶらぶらしたりもできました。
びっくりなのが高速道路を走ること。オープンバスで首都高を走ったり、レインボーブリッジを駆け抜けたりは滅多にできない体験で、これだけでもこのチケットおすすめできちゃいます。
ただ、3月下旬でも16時過ぎたくらいから寒くなってきます。4月下旬からが良いシーズンかな?
ガイドさんの解説も楽しいけど、声が小さかったり早口すぎたりするのがマイナス。
あと、バス停がわかりにくい&ちょっと場所が微妙なところがちらほら。浅草寺なんか、あそこで下ろされてたどり着けるのかな!?と入らない心配をしてしまいました。規制などもあるかもしれないけど、改善されると良いですね。
でも、都内在住者でもちょっと話題程度に乗ってみるのも楽しいと思いますよ!
