All Reviews for 2026 Japan Cherry Blossom Tours

While it is indeed written that "the event will proceed even in the rain" and "bring rain gear," there are limits to this. It's unbelievable that they wouldn't close the roof despite the heavy rain. Because of the rain, I could only look down, and even though the guide was showing us the cherry blossom spots, I couldn't see anything. I felt like I was just paying to get soaked while riding the bus. They were selling cheap raincoats for those without rain gear, but they were flimsy plastic. I don't think they would protect anyone from the rain. It was also sad for the children. I understand the organizers' point that "if the roof is closed, you can't see the cherry blossoms," but since there are windows, I think it would be better to look out from there. It's better than not being able to see anything at all while looking down.

確かに「雨でも決行」や「雨具用意」とは書いてありますが限度があります
ひどい雨にもかかわらず屋根があるのに閉めないなんてありえない
雨のせいで下を向くしかなくガイドさんが桜の名所を案内してるのに見ることができません
お金を払って雨に打たれてバスに乗ってるだけでした
雨具を持ってない人向けのカッパも売ってましたがペラペラのビニール
あれでは雨から守れないと思います
子供もいて可哀想でした
運営側の「屋根があると桜が見えない」というのもわかりますが窓があるのでそこから見ればいいと思いますよ
下を向いて全く見えないよりマシです

Unfortunately, it rained, and I was able to purchase a 100 yen raincoat, but when I looked up, the rain hit my face, and I could hardly see the cherry blossoms. I heard that the bus is designed to have a closed roof, but due to company policy, it wasn't allowed. I think if the roof had been closed, we could have enjoyed the cherry blossoms more comfortably. There were about 40 passengers, but due to the cold and the rain coming in through the gaps in the raincoats, most of us got off along the way. I sincerely hope that the announcement includes a note stating that the roof may be closed in case of rain.

運悪く雨天となり100円のカッパを購入できましたが　上を向くと雨が顔にあたり桜はほぼ見れませんでした　バスは屋根が閉まる仕様との事ですが会社の方針でダメとの事　屋根が閉まれば落ち着いて桜も楽しめたのではと思います
40名程の乗車でしたがあまりの寒さとカッパの隙間からも入る雨に殆どが途中降車でした
案内の一文に雨天では屋根が閉まる場合もありますといれての運行を切に願います

The weather was nice, and it was a refreshing day for cherry blossom viewing, so I enjoyed it. However, the guide's talk was drowned out by the surrounding noise, making it very difficult to hear, which was disappointing.

お天気も良く、風も爽やかなお花見日和だったので楽しめましたが、ガイドさんのお話は周りの音に消されてとても聞き取りにくく、残念でした。

For us who are over 70 years old, it was wonderful to enjoy the surroundings of the Imperial Palace without the hassle of walking around! We took the 10:00 bus course and got off in Asakusa. We enjoyed walking along the Sumida River and through the lively streets of Asakusa, as well as a delicious lunch. The cherry blossoms were not yet in full bloom, but we were able to fully enjoy the feeling of hanami (flower viewing).

７０歳を過ぎた私達には
歩いては回るのは大変な皇居の回り等々を
楽して楽しむことが出来最高‼︎
10：00のコースのバスに乗車し浅草で下車。
隅田川沿いや賑やかな浅草の街歩き、
美味しいランチも楽しみました。
桜は満開まではもう少しでしたが、十分お花見気分を味わうことができました。

The weather was cloudy and cold, and the cherry blossoms were either in full bloom or had already started to leaf out. Because it was cloudy, I couldn't take my time to enjoy the sakura. I just passed by in the car, and I only saw the famous spots from a distance, so it felt more like a sightseeing tour of Tokyo rather than a cherry blossom viewing experience.

天気も曇りで寒く、桜も満開か葉桜でした。
曇っているのもあるが、
さくらをゆっくり見ることができなかった。車で通り過ぎるだけ、名所も遠くから見るだけだったので、お花見ツアーと言うか、東京観光って感じでした

I participated on April 1st, but the cherry blossoms were already past their peak. I enjoyed the tour as the guide shared various insights about Tokyo, but I think it would be better to join at the end of March next time.

4月１日に参加しましたが、桜は、もうすでに葉桜。
ガイドさんのお話で、東京を色々案内していただいたので、たのしめましたが、次回は、３月の末に参加が良いと思いました。

I was concerned about the cherry blossom blooming status and the weather, but both were perfect on the day of the event. It was great to see the cherry blossoms from a high vantage point on the bus without having to walk through the crowds of spectators in the city center. The guide's explanations were detailed and informative! Passing under the elevated tracks was thrilling and fun. We got off the bus in Asakusa and visited Senso-ji Temple without going through the crowded Nakamise street, and then we enjoyed the view of the Tokyo Skytree and cherry blossoms leisurely at Sumida Park.

桜の開花状況と天気が気になりましたが当日は両方に恵まれて最高でした。
都心の桜を見物客の混雑の中を歩かずにバスの上の高い目線から見られて良かったです。
ガイドさんの説明も詳しくて良かった！
高架下をくぐるのもスリリングで面白い。
浅草でバスを降りて浅草寺を横から仲見世の混雑を通らずにお参りして、隅田川公園でスカイツリーと桜をゆっくり楽しみました。

I had accumulated quite a few points on Veltra, so I participated in this tour that I had been interested in for a while. It was fun to see Mount Fuji from various locations.

ベルトラのポイントが結構貯まっていたので、前から興味があったこちらのツアーに参加しました。色んな場所から富士山を拝見できて楽しかったです。

I participated with my mother and daughter, making it three generations. The bus had no roof, so it felt a bit chilly, but it was great to see the cherry blossoms up close. Overall, they were about 30% in bloom, but the guide's explanations were bright and enjoyable. We got off in Asakusa, had a meal, and then walked to Ueno Park.

母、娘、私の３世代で参加。バスは屋根が無いので少し肌寒く感じましたが桜を間近に見られて良かったです。全体的には３分咲き程度でしたが、ガイドさんの説明も明るく楽しかったです。
浅草で降りて、食事をしてから上野公園まで歩きました。

The cherry blossoms were a bit early, but the view from the second floor, which is usually not seen, was exciting, and I thought a bus tour was nice for a change. The guide was very enjoyable and provided a great tour.

桜はちょっと早めでしたが、普段は見られない2階からの眺めはテンションがあがるし、たまにはバスツアーも良いと思いました。ガイドさんがとても楽しく案内してくれました。

It was a fantastic one-day tour! Our guide Anna is very friendly and she took great care of the participants of the tour. It was very informative and very well organized. Thank you, Anna, you did a great job!

Thank you, Anna, you did a great job!

The rain was a natural occurrence, so it couldn't be helped, but I regretted participating just to avoid the cancellation fee. The glass fogged up, and I couldn't see the scenery or the flowers from inside the bus, plus it was cold, so there was nothing good about it at all. Even at the initial meeting point, it said to wait until the staff guided us, but even after the time passed, no staff showed up, which left a bad impression of poor organization. Since we paid the same fee as on a sunny day, I hope they consider a plan that can be enjoyed even in the rain.

雨は自然のことだから仕方なかったけど、キャンセル料がかかるからと無理に参加したけど後悔でした。
ガラスがくもってしまってバスの中からも景色も花も見えないし、寒いしで何一ついいことありませんでした。
はじめの集合場所だって係員が案内するまでお待ちくださいって書いてあったけど、時間すぎても係員はこないし、手際が悪い印象。
晴れの日と同じ料金を払っているので、雨の場合でも楽しめるプランを考えてほしいです。

Sitting in a bus seat while touring Tokyo is incredibly comfortable. However, taking pictures of cherry blossoms while wearing a seatbelt is quite challenging... The nearby cherry blossoms are blocked by the window frame, so you can only capture the distant ones within the frame. Therefore, I recommend enjoying the cherry blossoms from the window rather than focusing on photography. ♬

バスの座席に座ったまま東京巡りが出来るのは快適そのもの。
ただし、シートベルトをしたまま桜の写真を撮るのはなんとも難しい。。。
近くの桜は窓枠にさえぎられるため、遥かかなたの桜を窓枠におさめるしかない。
ということで、撮影より車窓からの桜を楽しむことをオススメします♬

Since it was a three-day weekend, all the spots were extremely crowded, so I thought my stay would be short, but I believe the cost performance is good if I can visit various places at this price.

Most of the time, it was in English and Chinese, but I was helped because they spoke to me in Japanese. A friend from Thailand was visiting, so I was able to translate from Japanese to Thai and convey the information.

Thank you very much.

三連休ということもあり、どこのスポットも大混雑だったので、滞在時間が短いとも思いましたが、このお値段で色々まわれるならコスパは良いと思いました。

基本、英語と中国語でしたが、日本語で話しかけて下さったので、助かりました。
タイから友人が来ていたので、日本語からタイ語に訳して伝えることが出来ました。

ありがとうございました。

The wind was a bit chilly, and we could hardly see any cherry blossoms, but it was enjoyable to tour around Tokyo from the roof of a double-decker bus, which is not something you can do very often.

少し風は冷たく桜はほとんど見る事はできませんでしたが、2階建てバスの屋根からなかなか見ることのできない東京都内を周遊できて楽しかったです。

I wanted to get off the open bus quickly because it was raining and cold. The VIP waiting room was hard to find and far away. It wasn't enjoyable at all, not even a little. What a shame. 😢

桜に早く、オープンバスで雨、寒く
早く下車したかった。
VIp待合室は分かりづらく遠い
1ミリも楽しくなかった。残念😢

The tour was refreshing and enjoyable since everyone except for three Japanese people were foreigners. The tour guide, Kousei, spoke English and Japanese clearly and understandably, which was great. We were able to visit only the sightseeing spots we wanted without any waste of time.

ツアーは3組の日本人以外は全て外国の方だったので、とても新鮮で楽しかったです。ツアーガイドkouseiさんの英語、日本語のガイドも聞きやすく、わかりやすく良かったです。行きたい観光スポットだけを無駄なく回れました。

This time we had a Nepali guide. He was very kind and actively engaged with us Japanese tourists, creating an atmosphere where we felt comfortable asking questions. The explanations during the car ride were mainly in English and Chinese, but he also conveyed important points in Japanese, so we had a completely enjoyable day without any difficulties. Thank you very much.

今回はネパール人のガイドさんでした。
親切な方で、日本人にも積極的にお声がけくださり、こちらからも質問等しやすい雰囲気でした。
車中での説明は英語、中国語がメインのようでしたが、大切なポイントは日本語でも伝えてくださったので全く不自由なく楽しい１日になりました。ありがとうございました。

As expected from the pre-reviews, this tour was mostly filled with foreigners. There were only three groups of Japanese people, including us. However, the tour conductor was half-Japanese and half-Chinese, and spoke to us in Japanese, which was reassuring.

Due to the weather, we couldn't go to the fifth station of Mount Fuji in the morning, so our first stop was Asama Park. After that, we took photos at the Nishikawa Clock Shop and headed to Lake Kawaguchi. When I mentioned I wasn't interested in matcha, they said I could freely explore.

Lake Kawaguchi was beautiful. After that, the weather improved, and we were able to go to the fifth station, which was my long-awaited dream. It was cold, but I was truly moved. At Oshino Hakkai, we had houtou and were very satisfied!

It was my first time seeing Mount Fuji, and I was surprised at how beautiful it looked even from the bus on the way there. It was truly a great tour, and I felt a bit guilty for how inexpensive it was. It was a wonderful experience.

前評判通りほぼ外国人しかいないツアーです。ウチ含め日本人は3組だけでした。けどツアーコンダクターの方は日中ハーフの方で日本語で話してくださったので安心でした。
朝の時点で天候のため富士山五合目が無理で、1発目が浅間公園でした。その後日川時計店で写真を撮り、河口湖へ。抹茶に興味がないと言ったら自由に散策してて良いですよとのこと。
河口湖綺麗でした。
その後は天候が良くなり５合目いけることになり、念願の富士山５合目にいけました。寒かったけど本当に感涙です。忍野八海ではほうとう食べて大満足！

人生初の富士山でしたが、行きのバスの中からも普通に美しく見えて驚きました。
本当に良いツアーで、こんな安くてなんか申し訳なかったくらいです。素晴らしいツアーでした。

The guide was Nepalese, but he was a bilingual who was fluent in English, Chinese, and Japanese. Since he was able to handle Japanese without any issues, I was able to enjoy the tour with peace of mind.

ガイドさんはネパール人でしたが、英語・中国語・日本語も堪能なバイリンガルでした。日本語も問題なく対応できたので安心して楽しいツアーを満喫することができました。

I want to see the beautiful Mount Fuji. I would like to go to the 5th station of Mount Fuji. I want to take pictures of Mount Fuji from Oshino Hakkai. There are often photos of the five-story pagoda and Mount Fuji, and I want to see what that place is like and take pictures there too. The photos from Hikawa Clock Shop are also famous. I wanted to see that as well. I enjoyed all of these experiences. The guide and the driver were very kind, and it felt great.

きれいな富士山を見たい。富士山5合目まで行ってみたい。忍野八海からの富士山の写真が撮りたい。よく五重の塔と富士山の写真がありますがどんなところなのか見てみたいし写真も撮ってみたい。日川時計店からの写真も有名ですね。そこも見てみたかったです。これら全部楽しめました。ガイドの人も運転手さんもとても親切で気持ちよかったです。

I am a French person who has lived in Japan for 50 years, but this is my first time participating in a tour for foreigners. Thanks to the natural way Kevin, our tour guide, interacted with us, I was able to relax and enjoy my trip to Mount Fuji very much.

During the matcha experience, I had the opportunity to talk with someone from the Philippines, but I think it would have been even better if we could have shared a meal together to deepen our friendships with everyone in the group. It doesn't have to be a lavish feast; even having houtou or Yoshida udon would be sufficient.

私は50年も日本に住んでいるフランス人ですが、外国人向けののツアーに参加することは初めてです。添乗員のKevinさんの自然体の接し方のおかげでとてもリラックスして楽しく富士山への旅を過ごすことができました。
抹茶体験の際にフィリピンの方と話す機会がありましたが、グループの皆さんとの親交を深めるために食事を共にすることができればなお良かったと思います。その際大ご馳走ではなくても良いので、ほうとうか吉田うどんでも十分です。

There were only two of us Japanese people, and I was anxious about the English guide, but they kindly spoke to us in Japanese, which made us feel at ease and enjoy the experience. Thank you very much.

日本人は私達２人だけでしたが英語のガイドで不安でしたが日本語でもわざわざ声かけてくださり安心して楽しめました。
ありがとうございました

As a Japanese mother and child, we were looking for a tour and found that there weren't any Japanese-language tours that fit our needs, so we decided to join this tour with an English/Chinese-speaking guide. Our guide, Diffany, spoke Japanese, English, and Chinese. While the primary language in the vehicle was English, she kindly spoke to us in Japanese about various topics, and she was a friendly and wonderful person.

At each destination, she shared many interesting stories and helped us find inexpensive and delicious places to eat without any commercial intent. I was a bit concerned that the itinerary might be too busy and whether my always-hungry son would have time to eat, but the schedule was perfectly arranged.

I highly recommend this tour.

日本人の母子ですが、ツアーを探してたら富士山の日本語ツアーで希望にあったツアーがなかったので、こちらの英語/中国語ガイド同行のツアーに参加しました。
ガイドの Diffanyさんは、日本語/英語/中国語を話し、基本的には車内では英語ですが、私たち日本人親子には、日本語で色々話してくれて、フレンドリーな素敵な方でした。
各訪問地でも、いろんなお話や、商売気がなく、安くて美味しいお店なども教えてくれて助かりました。
ツアーの行程を見ると忙しすぎるかな？いつもお腹がすいてる食べ盛りの息子が食事する時間があるか？など気になってましたが、ばっちりの行程でした。
お勧めのツアーです。

This was my first time participating in this tour. The tour guide and the driver were very friendly, and I was able to spend a meaningful time. Thank you very much. Since it was a multinational group, there was a bit of a relaxed attitude towards time; I heard that habitual latecomers might be left behind. It made me laugh. When you come to Japan, it's basic to follow Japanese rules.

こちらのツアーははじめての参加でした。添乗員さん、運転手さんとても気さくで有意義な時間を過ごす事が出来ました有難うございました。多国籍と言うことで時間に少々ルーズ、集合時間に遅れる常習犯は置いて行かれる事があるとか
笑いがでました。日本に来れば日本のルールに従うが基本ですね。

It was my first time at Mount Fuji. Miraculously, the weather was perfect with not a single cloud in the sky. The experience was fulfilling with the 5th station, sightseeing boat, and ropeway, and the price was very reasonable. The guide provided thorough explanations, which was great. I highly recommend it.

初めての富士山でした。奇跡的に雲一つない天気で最高でした。5号目、遊覧船、ロープウェイと充実した内容でこの値段はとても良いです。ガイドさんも丁寧に説明していただきとても良かったです。オススメできます。

They explained the itinerary changes, and even though they don't primarily support Japanese, they spoke to me in Japanese. Both the guide and the driver were kind and it was great.

行程変更も説明してくれたし、日本語基本対応していないのに日本語で声かけてくれた。ガイドさんもドライバーさんも優しくて良かった

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.

Had the best time on our tour. Our guide Ken was fabulous. He took us everywhere we wanted to go which included the Meiji Shrine, Sensoji Temple, and Shibuya crossing. When we departed our ship Ken was there to greet us. He and the driver were very professional. My only regret is that we didn't have more time before we had to go to the airport to catch our flight home.

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.
