All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

it was a very nice tour..well organized!!!

I participated on a clear day in January. I was worried it might be cold since it was an open-top bus, but it wasn't too bad. The best recommended course is the Odaiba course.

After looking up at Tokyo Tower from directly below, the open-top bus headed onto the highway. This was quite a rare experience. It was my first time seeing how large road signs and traffic lights are. Furthermore, it continued to the Rainbow Bridge, and with the good weather, I was able to enjoy views of both Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Skytree. Since it was a weekday, Odaiba had a rather quiet atmosphere, so we continued without getting off until Tsukiji. We got off at Tsukiji, had sushi for lunch, and then boarded the bus again from the same spot to return to the starting point in Marunouchi. Next, I took the Asakusa course heading towards Tokyo Skytree. I wanted to do some sightseeing at Skytree, so I got off the bus there, but it was a very enjoyable bus experience. If it's your first time in Tokyo, just riding this bus would be enough for sightseeing.

I think even people living in Tokyo would enjoy participating with friends or family on a nice day for a drive-like experience.

1月の快晴の日に参加しました。オープントップなので寒いかなと心配でしたがそれほどでもなかったです。一番のおすすめコースは、お台場コース。

東京タワーを真下から見上げた後、オープントップバスは高速道路へ。これはかなり貴重な体験です。道路標識や信号機はこんなに大きいのかと、初めての経験でした。さらに、レインボーブリッジへと続くのですがお天気もよく、東京タワーとスカイツリーの両方の景観が楽しめました。平日だったのでお台場はかなりおとなしい雰囲気でしたので、下車せずそのまま築地まで。築地で下車して、ランチにお寿司をいただき、その後、また同じところから乗車して丸の内のスタート地点へ。次に浅草コースに乗ってスカイツリーへ向かいました。スカイツリー観光をしたかったのでバスの乗車はここまででしたが、かなり楽しいバス体験でした。初めての東京ならこのバスに乗っているだけでも十分観光ができそうです。

東京に住んでいる人でも、お友達や家族と天気の良い日にドライブ気分で参加するのもいいと思います。

Fantastic day. Only had 1 day available to see Mt Fuji and this tour was a great way to see it. The guide was excellent and very knowledgeable and helpful. Due to snowfall we could only reach the 4th station but the view was spectacular. The whole day was about Mt Fuji and we were given plenty of opportunities to take photos. It is a long day but I would highly recommend it.

Very nice tour! The shrine we visited (Toshogu shrine) was marvellous. The only regret is that we did not stay long enough to visit the different buildings to which we had access with the entrance ticket. The food was a nice overview of a typical japanese meal. The afternoon was dedicated to the imperial villa (nice garden and interesting house despite being mostly empty) and the sightseeing of a waterfall.

For myself, the only highlights were the Japenese lunch and the Shinkansen.

Mt Fuji was rather disappointing and on the return journey to Odawara station to board the Shinkansen, we hit allot of traffic which delayed us around 1hr 30mins.

It was a good tour but a little bitty too long trip by bus.
After the ropeway we didn't take time at Mount Komagatake because it was too much tailback. It was a little bitty situation.
The guide was very friendly and busy.
Thank you for her.

Great Tour, the tour guide was very informative as were the tour guide on the other 3 discovery tours that we did. Would recommend this tour.

Guide was fantastic and we got to expereince everything the area had to offer- from the 5th station, to cable car, boat ride. Having the bus to take us following one leg of these trips made us able to pack more in. Bullet train was amazing- wouldn't have gotten a chance since my stay in Tokyo was short, without this tour.

Great guide.... Emi San who was very knowledgeable about Tokyo and the areas around mt Fuji & hakone.
Good that the cable car was included to the top of a neighbouring mountain range otherwise I wouldn't have seen the top of mount Fuji -too cloudy.
Nice lunch.

Certainly the best thing to do at the start of a holiday in Tokyo. Shame that a couple of items were missed out of the program because our trip fell on a Friday, but the lunch made up for it, excellent lunch and well worth the cost.

Excellent trip - well organised. We may have been lucky with the weather as the skies were clear, the monutain was open to station 4 and the views magnificent

It was okay. We did not get to see Mt. Fuji because there was a record number of people who climbed Mt. Fuji and our tourist guide decided to bring us to a Shinto temple near Mt. Fuji instead. The food was not good as well. The only good thing about it is the 15 minute cruise ride and the Shinkansen.

We had unexpected snow, which put a bit of a damper on things but still had a great day.

Fantastic tour guide! Provided lots of information about Japanese culture and experiences, which was really interesting. He was also very patient and didn't rush us and fuss like some other guides had done

Scenic 90 minute ride to Toshogu & Rinnoji (Nikko) where you will see incredible Gates, Temples, Houses and Shrines. Good tour type lunch then to the magnificent Lake Chuzen-ji and incredible Mt Nantai. Much like Lake Tahoe in the U.S.

slightly rushed, should have gone to the top of mt fuji, rather thans topping half way and go down. Train ride was very good.

Tour guide woman was so sweet! 5 Stars just for her. She went out of her way to be helpful and informative. She even went around asking if she could take a photo for people. She showed us magic tricks on the Bus and everything. Outstanding!! It was the woman with the little red flower by the way.

I believe Kyoto deserves longer stay. Apart from that, the tour was perfectly organized and went very well.

gave all that it promised and more.We did have difficulty getting to our hotel as we had to do it by subway and came out in the biggest station I've ever seen.

Great tour - well-paced but covered a lot. Very well organised - things worked like clockwork. The guide was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour, adding extra enjoyment to the stunning scenery.

This was nice trip. Well organized and not too rushed because of taking the Shinkansen back to Tokyo. You might want to send a post card (70 Yen) back home from Mt. Fuji's 5th station. Tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Don't forget a light jacket for Hakone.

Unfortunately it was raining. The trip is a full day. You get a range of methods of travel including bus, boat, cable car (rope way to the Japanese)and train. Quite a range of scenery and locations.
We were a bit surprised that information supplied as you travelled along was entirely supplied by your guide so if they are not talking then no information was made available. I thought we could have got more commentary. Considering Japan is technologically advanced I felt some automated electronic system would be available. The bus has screens and dvd.
In saying that the guide shared his personal experiences and views which was probably better than a dvd. Personal photos and hand drawn diagrams were used on the trip, certainly different and amusing at times. The commentary included insights into some aspects of Japanese culture, religion and education.
Not many breaks but they were long enough.
The lunch was a good introduction to a selection of Japanese cuisine.
A bit disconcerting at the end where they simply point you in the direction of the train platform you need to get back near your hotel. One couple we spoke to got lost in Tokyo station for 20 minutes and we can see how you could. We were ok back at our station but as much by good luck than anything else.
Even with the rain we felt the trip was worth it.

Day was a bit rushed due to amazingly high traffic. But the tour guide was wonderful. I heard during the trip that we could have taken the bullet train there and back , that would have been preferred, maybe offer this option in the future. Thank you,

Very good guide, interesting and very helpful to conduct us to the best itineraries when the trip was over.

We had a clear day and great views! Lunch was superb.

Very informative. Great views of Mt Fuji. Excellent lunch!
