All Reviews for Bus Tours

We participated as a family. The tour was mostly made up of foreign participants besides us. The guide provided information in English, but it was easy to understand, and they also offered explanations in Japanese. It had the feel of an overseas tour, and the content was well-organized and compact, which was great.

親子で参加しました。私達以外は外国の方ばかりのツアーでした。ガイドさんは英語の案内でしたがわかりやすく日本語でも案内していただけました。
海外ツアーの感じで内容もコンパクトにまとまって良かったです。

I participated with my mother. We met at the west exit of Shinjuku Station, and it was a bit difficult to find using the mobile map, but when we looked at the station signs and went above ground, there was a Starbucks right away, so we were able to meet up without any issues.

We could take a sightseeing bus close to Nikko Toshogu Shrine, which meant we had to walk less than other tourists, making it easier to pay our respects. The guide was from China, but their Japanese was very good, and they provided explanations in English first and then guided us carefully in Japanese. The meeting times and sightseeing durations were clearly indicated with numbers on a card, which made it very easy to understand and allowed us to participate with peace of mind.

There were many foreign participants, but I was relieved that the content was enjoyable even for Japanese people. Additionally, it was great that they introduced recommended local dishes as well. Both my mother and I were very satisfied, and it was a tour that made us want to participate again.

母と2人で参加しました。待ち合わせは新宿駅西口で、携帯の地図だと少し分かりづらかったですが、駅の看板を見て地上に出るとすぐにスタバがあり、無事に合流できました。
日光東照宮までは観光バスで近くまで行けたので、他の観光客より歩く距離が少なく、楽に参拝できました。ガイドさんは中国の方でしたが、日本語がとても上手で、英語で説明したあとに日本語でも丁寧に案内してくれました。待ち合わせ時間や観光時間はカードに数字で示してくれるのでとても分かりやすく、安心して参加できました。

外国人参加者が多かったですが、日本人でも十分楽しめる内容で安心しました。さらに、おすすめの観光料理も紹介してくれて良かったです。母も私も大満足で、また参加したいと思えるツアーでした。

The factory lights are filled with a fantastical feeling. Dining while traveling by bus creates a charming atmosphere as the vibrations make the glasses jingle and clink together. The scenery viewed from the bus offers a different perspective, filled with a sense of the extraordinary. Manually opening and closing the roof of the bus adds to the experience. People walking on the road are also overwhelmed by the sight of the bus. It was truly memorable. Restaurant buses are being introduced in cities outside of Tokyo as well, so I would like to try them in other cities too.

工場の灯りが幻想感で溢れている。バスで移動しながらの食事は、振動でグラスが一斉にチリンチリン、カンカン、キンキンと歌い出して、コケティッシュ。バスの中から見る景色も、普段と目線が異なり非日常感一杯。バスの屋根を手動で開け閉めするのも一興。道路を歩いている人もバスの姿に圧倒されている。すごく思い出に残りました。レストランバスは東京以外にも導入されてきているので、ほかの都市でも利用してみたいと思います。

This tour is recommendable. They provide a lunch included in the package tour and all of us love the food. Thdtouf guidd is nice and friendly. They also gave us souvenir ftom Mt. Fuji. Definitely we will book again.

I participated after watching a certain TV program. Even though it was a French full course, the salad that was served was not delicious, and although they mentioned it was made using a unique method, I could only think of it as an unappetizing lettuce salad. The meat and dessert were tasty, but if asked whether I would go again just for this meal, I would probably say no. However, it was an experience that I wouldn't have in my daily life.

某テレビ番組を観て参加させていただきました。フレンチフルコースとはいえ、出てくるサラダが美味しくなく、独特な製法で作られた、、、と言っておられましたが、美味しくないレタスのサラダ、という印象しか持てませんでした。お肉もデザートも美味しくはありましたが、この食事をしにもう一度行くかと言われたら、行かないかな。ただ、日常できない経験ではありました。

I felt like I was taken to places I couldn't go on my own. The food on the bus was delicious, and it was nice that the portions weren't too large. We received detailed explanations about the scenery, and with the roof open, there was a sense of freedom. The views from high up on the highway provided many wonderful experiences, and my friend who accompanied me was also grateful. I didn't realize that the meeting point and the drop-off point were different, so I think it would have been better if that had been emphasized a bit more, especially considering the train schedule for the return trip.

自分ではいけない場所に連れて行ってもらえた気分でした。バスの中のお料理が美味しく、量も多くなくて良かったです。景色について細かい説明をいただいたり、屋根がオープンになって解放感があり、高速道路では高所からの眺めなど、素敵な体験がたくさんできて、同行した友人にも感謝されました。集合場所と解散場所が違っていることに気づいていなかったので、そ戸が違うということは、少し強調していただいた方が良かったかと思いました。帰りの電車の時間もあるので。

The bus guide's explanations were interesting, and I enjoyed both the land and water experiences! The good environment of Koto Ward was also impressive. I recommend it!

バスガイドの方の説明が面白く、水陸両方で楽しめました！
江東区の環境の良さも印象的でした。
おすすめです！

The tour had about 30 participants, and among them, our family of four was the only Japanese group. Although it was an English and Chinese guided tour, we were also provided with individual guidance in Japanese, which made it very reassuring and allowed us to enjoy the sightseeing without any worries.

外国人混在ツアーで参加人数は30人程度でした。その中で日本人は私達家族4人だけでした。英語・中国語ガイドということでしたが、日本語でも個別に案内いただき何の心配もいらずに観光出来たことが大変有り難かった。

I was glad that I could efficiently visit the famous spots in Tokyo. It would have been even better if I had shortened my time at Tokyo Tower and spent a bit more time in Asakusa instead.

東京の名所を効率よく見て回ることができよかったです。東京タワーでの滞在時間を短くして、代わりに浅草でもう少し時間がとれるとさらに良かったかなと思いました。

Since I live in Tokyo, I had never done any sightseeing in the city. Even in places I usually pass by, I was amazed at how different the scenery looks from a different height. Experiencing the proximity of the signs on the highway was a first for me! The breeze was pleasant, and it turned out to be a wonderful experience. The duration was just right, and I was able to enjoy it while doing my usual shopping, so I think it's also recommended for those living in Tokyo. The guide's explanations were enjoyable as well.

都内在住ですので、都内観光的な事をした事がありませんでした。
いつも通るような場所でも、高さが違うとこんなに景色が違うものかと感動しました。高速道路では看板の近さが初体験！！風も気持ちよく、とても良い経験になりました。
所用時間もちょうど良く、いつものお買い物ついでに体験する事が出来たので、都内在住の方にもおすすめかと思いました。
ガイドさんの案内も楽しかったです。

私たちが経験した中で最高のツアーの一つでした。ツアーガイドはフレンドリーで、情報が豊富で、プロフェッショナルで、非常に助けてくれました。ビュッフェランチは美味しかったです。皆に強くお勧めします。

One of the best tours we’ve had. The tour guide was friendly, informative, professional & exceptionally helpful. The buffet lunch was delicious. Highly recommended to everyone.

Tour guides were very informative………………………………………..

Lunch was a bit disappointing. We were seated outside with another group, and it was very cold due to the strong wind. The fire for grilling the meat went out quickly because of the wind, and when I informed the restaurant staff, they seemed to have forgotten about it, so we had to wait a long time. I hope they can adjust the seating to avoid overlapping with other groups.

The sightseeing portion was good. We were able to finish smoothly without any traffic jams.

昼食が少し残念だった。他の団体と被っており、外の席で食べたが、風が強くてとても寒かった。強風のせいで、お肉を焼くための火が早く消えてしまったので、レストランの方に伝えたが、忘れられておりずっと待たされた。他の団体と被らないように調節して欲しい。
観光内容は良かった。渋滞もなくスムーズに終えることが出来た。

The guide was bright, fun, and very polite in showing us around.

Splashing in Nakagawa was thrilling! It turned out to be a great day.

I want to go again.

ガイドさんが明るく楽しく丁寧にご案内してくださいました。

中川にスプラッシュする時は迫力満点です！
いい1日になりました。

また、行きたいな。

When my friend went last week, they could only see half of Mount Fuji, but they were lucky with the weather and got to see the beautiful clear Mount Fuji. The houtou udon for lunch was also delicious.

友人が先週行った時は、富士山が半分だけしか見えませんでしたが、お天気に恵まれて、晴天の綺麗な富士山がみれました。
お昼のほうとううどんも美味しかったです。

Since the weather forecast predicted rain, I checked in advance whether the open bus roof would close, and was told to assume that it would most likely remain open. So, I participated fully prepared with a raincoat and a plastic bag for my belongings. However, at the meeting point lounge, I was informed that due to the rain from the previous day, they planned to operate with the roof closed. The roof was indeed closed, but I was able to enjoy the cherry blossoms from the windows. Since it was a simple roof, there were occasional drips from the joints, but it wasn't bothersome. Other buses from different companies passed by with their roofs open, but it seemed that the passengers on those buses couldn't face forward due to the strong rain and wind. I enjoyed the cherry blossoms, and it was also fun to see the scenery from a different height on the highway than usual. I would like to ride again during cherry blossom season next year.

天気予報が雨だったので、オープンバスの屋根が閉まるかどうか事前に確認したら十中八九屋根は閉まらないと思って下さいと言われたので、レインコートとバッグを入れるビニール袋など完全防備で参加しました。
ですが、集合場所のラウンジで前日からの雨で屋根を閉めて運行する予定とのご案内。屋根は閉まっていますが、窓から桜が十分楽しめました。簡易屋根なので、時折金具の継ぎ目から雫が垂れて多少濡れましたが、気にならない程度です。すれ違った他社のバスは屋根が空いたままで運行していましたが、雨風が強く乗車されている方は前を向いていられないようでした。
桜も楽しめましたが、高速道路が普段とは違う高さからの景色を見れて楽しかったです。また来年も桜の季節に乗車したいと思います。

I used the Sky Bus for the first time. I rode with my 85-year-old father and three generations together. I didn't have high expectations, but the moment we got on the expressway, I fully enjoyed the refreshing feeling of the open bus. It was like a natural roller coaster; it was so much fun!

初めてスカイバス利用しました。
８５歳の父と三世代で乗車
そんなに期待していませんでしたが、首都高に乗った瞬間から
オープンバスの爽快感を満喫
まるで天然ジェットコースターのよう、めちゃくちゃ楽しかった。

I did not go to Nikko myself, but on the occasion of Mr. Haydar, the president of a Turkish agency, visiting Japan for the first time, he expressed a desire to see historical sites. On March 25th, he participated alone in your Nikko tour. He was satisfied with everything he saw, including Toshogu Shrine, Kegon Falls, and Lake Chuzenji. He mentioned that everything was beautiful. Thank you very much. In particular, he received an explanation about the sculptures at Toshogu Shrine, such as the Sleeping Cat, and after returning to Tokyo, I received an explanation as well. He said that the next time I travel to Turkey on business, he would definitely take me to Cappadocia as a thank you for this time. After looking at the photos, one thing that caught my attention was that the water volume of Kegon Falls seemed low. I guess it changes depending on the season.

私が日光に行ったわけではなく、トルコの代理店社長、Haydar氏の初来日に際し、歴史のあるものが見たいとの事で、３月２５日、貴社の日光ツアーに１人で参加してもらいました。
東照宮、華厳の滝、中禅寺湖等、見るもの全てに満足しておりました。全てが美しかったとの事です。ありがとうございます。特に、東照宮は、眠り猫等の彫刻の説明を受けたからか、東京に戻ってきてから私が説明を受けました。次回、私がトルコに出張時は、今回のお礼に是非、カッパドキアに連れて行くと言ってました。写真を見せてもらって、１つ気になったのは、華厳の滝の水量が少なかったなと感じた次第です。時期によって変わるんでしょうね。

Experiencing the sights from a high vantage point while feeling the breeze was both pleasant and thrilling, making it a lot of fun. It was great to have the guide's explanations, as I was able to learn many details.

風を感じながら高い視線からの観光は心地よくもあり、スリルもあり楽しかったです。
ガイドさんの説明があったので色々詳しく知る事も出来良かったです。

In the morning, there were a few clouds, but by noon the clouds disappeared and it was clear. The lunchtime houtou was delicious. However, it was unfortunate that a child was crying on the bus the whole time. On the way back, we were delayed by traffic and arrived an hour late.

午前中は、少し雲がありましたが、昼は雲が消えて見れました。お昼のほうとうは、美味しかった。ただバスの中でずっと子供が泣いていたのは、残念でした。帰りは渋滞で1時間到着が遅れました。

Since it was before the cherry blossom bloom declaration, I followed the guide's advice to "see with your heart" as we explored (laughs). If the blossoms had been in bloom, I think I would have experienced some truly beautiful sights, like the cherry blossom tunnel.

However, the drive was fantastic, blessed with good weather and a pleasant breeze. Especially right after departing, the view of Tokyo Station from a perfect height was irresistible for fans of retro architecture!

Next time, I want to go in time for the bloom.

桜の開花宣言前だったので
案内上手なガイドさんの"心の目で見てください"に従って周りました（笑）
開花していたら、桜のトンネルなど、とても素敵な景色を体験できたと思います。

しかし、天候にも恵まれ気持ち良い風を受けながらのドライブは最高でした。
特に出発直後の東京駅は、絶妙な高さからの全体を見渡せるロケーションでレトロ建築好きにはたまりませんでした❗️

次回は開花に合わせて行きたいと思います。

Since I live in the city, I thought I could go to this place anytime, but I went out again to enjoy cherry blossoms. It was the peak blooming season, so the cherry blossoms from the open bus were quite beautiful. However, since it was a non-stop tour, it felt like just looking at them the whole time. The guide's stories were interesting, and I learned some fun facts that I hadn't noticed or known before. In reality, the cherry blossoms on Sakura Street in Yaesu, where we gathered, were the most beautiful and I could enjoy them at a leisurely pace. 😊

都内在住なのでいつでも行けると思っていた場所に改めて花見の形で出かけました。
満開の時期でしたので、オープンバスからの桜もなかなかです。
ただノンストップですのでひたすら眺める感じです。
ガイドさんの話しも面白く気が付かなかった、知らなかった豆知識も得ることができました。
実際は、集合場所の八重洲のさくら通りの桜が一番きれいでゆっくり見られたかな(^^)

On the day of the visit, I was smoothly guided and was able to see the beautiful Mount Fuji, making for an enjoyable sightseeing experience! It was disappointing that we couldn't go to the fifth station of Mount Fuji due to snow, but I was satisfied overall! The lunch buffet received negative feedback, so I will rate it as good. Thank you very much.

当日、スムーズに案内していただいて綺麗な富士山を見ることができ、楽しく観光できました！富士山五合目は雪のため行けず残念でしたが、満足でした！
ランチバイキングが不評だったので、評価は良かったとさせていただきます。
ありがとうございました。

The tour route is a place I visit every year for cherry blossom viewing, but the cherry blossom tour from the open-top bus was very enjoyable. The cherry blossoms were beautiful, but the historical background explained by the guide through their lively talk, along with the views of the Imperial Palace, Tokyo Skytree, and the cityscape, left a lasting impression on me. I had a wonderful time. Thank you, guide!

ツアーのコースは毎年花見散歩で巡っている所ですが、オープントップバスからの桜巡りはとても楽しかったです。
桜も美しかったですが、ガイドさんの軽快なトークで歴史的背景の説明を聴きながらの皇居、スカイツリーそして街並みの景色は心に残りました。
とても素敵な時間を過ごすことが出来ました。
ガイドさんありがとうございました♪♪

The timing and weather were absolutely perfect, allowing us to have a wonderful cherry blossom viewing experience. Since I was with my elderly parents, I think we enjoyed it more comfortably than if we had been in a crowded area.

Also, the guide was great at keeping us entertained. Their professionalism really shone through.

The difficulty in finding the meeting point and the confusion were a bit of a downside, which is why I deducted one star, but I believe the experience was more than sufficient for the price.

タイミングも、気候もとってもベストだったこともあり、素敵なお花見タイムを過ごせました。高齢の両親を連れていたので、人混みの中でお花見するより、快適に楽しめたと思います。
あと、ガイドさんが楽しませてくれるのが良いですね。プロの面白さです。

集合場所のわかりにくさ、混乱具合がちょっとマイナスポイントで星１つ減にしましたが、価格に対して充分すぎる内容だと思います。

Although it was before full bloom, we were blessed with good weather and were able to comfortably visit the famous cherry blossom spots. It was refreshing to view the city from a high vantage point, and the guide's stories were interesting, making for an enjoyable hanami experience.

満開前でしたが、天候に恵まれ、快適に桜の名所巡りができました。
高い視点から街を眺めるのも新鮮で、ガイドさんの話も面白く、楽しく花見ができました。

Compared to other companies' open-top buses, the brown glass windows create a sense of poor visibility (perhaps due to UV protection?), making it particularly not recommended to ride after it gets dark. Unfortunately, there are hardly any illuminated spots, so you need to strain your eyes to see the cherry blossoms.

While I enjoyed the pleasant drive with a gentle breeze (though this depends on the weather and seating), the cherry blossom viewing was disappointing. There is only one location where it becomes a tunnel of cherry blossoms (the total passing time is only about ten seconds), so it felt like the open-top experience didn't have much meaning.

I appreciate the effort of the guide in trying to make it exciting, but I won't be returning.

他社のオープントップのバスに比べると、ガラス窓がブラウン系のため（UVカットなのかしら⁈）視界不良感が否めず、薄暗くなってからの乗車は特にお勧めできません。（残念ながら、ライトアップされている箇所がほとんどないので、目を凝らさないと桜が見えないレベル）
そよ風が気持ちいいドライブは楽しめたけれど（但し、天候と座席によりけり）肝心のお花見は期待外れ。
桜のトンネルとなっている場所は１か所なので（通過時間はトータルで十数秒程度）、オープントップの意味があまりないように感じました。
ガイドのお姉さんが一生懸命盛り上げてくれたので感謝していますが、リピはなしです。

I was able to see cherry blossoms in various places in a short amount of time. It was wonderful to bask in the sunlight and spring breeze. Also, the guide's announcements lifted our spirits and created a fun atmosphere.

短い時間でおやすくあちこちの桜をみることができました
お日様と春風を浴びて最高でした
また、ガイドさんのアナウンスも気分を盛り上げて楽しく雰囲気も良かったです

I signed up for the tour just two days after the cherry blossoms began to bloom.

Thanks to the summer-like heat during the day, the cherry blossoms started blooming all at once. It was very cold during the night portion, so I recommend preparing for the cold. The open-top bus was very chilly.

ちょうどツアーの2日前にサクラの開花が始まりツアーに申し込みました。

日中は夏日でとても暑かったお陰か一気に桜が咲き始めました。
夜の部でとても寒かったので防寒対策をお勧めします。
オープントップバスはとても寒かったです。

It was supposed to be a cherry blossom viewing tour, but it was a bit early for the blossoms... However, I was able to enjoy the sightseeing thanks to the guide's lively talk and explanations. The bus operation was also smooth and went well. Thank you to the driver and the guide.

桜見の観光ということでしたが、桜にはちょっと早かった…
しかし、ガイドさんの軽快なトークと解説で楽しく観光できました。バスの運行もスムーズで順調でした。
運転手さん、ガイドさん、ありがとうございました。
