All Reviews for 2026 Japan Cherry Blossom Tours

I'm in the tour guide business in Hawaii, and I thought my tour guide Steven did a very good job. He spoke in English and in Chinese, which I thought was awesome! It was a very long day, but well worth it. I will use some of the actions that Steven did during my tour when I get back to work. Please tell Steven that I said thank you for a great day. The Mt. Fuji cake was delicious; get the hot drink in the can and use it to try to keep warm.

The time allocation for sightseeing was rushed. There wasn't enough information provided regarding lunch. After having a meal at Oshino Hakkai, there was hardly any time left for sightseeing.

観光する時間配分が慌ただしい。
昼食に関する情報案内が足りなかった。
忍野八海で食事をしたら観光する時間がほとんどなかった。

Since it was my first time making a reservation online, I was a bit anxious about how it would turn out, but the guide, Kousei, was very good at Japanese and explained everything clearly, making it a lot of fun (*´∀｀*🎶). There were people from various countries, and even though I was in Japan, it felt like I was abroad, which was enjoyable 🙆. I highly recommend it because you can see Mount Fuji from various angles 🗻.

初めてネットで予約したので、どの様になるか不安でしたが、ガイドのkouseiさんは日本語も上手な方で分かりやすくとても楽しかったです(*´∀｀*🎶)
色んな国の方も来ていて、日本に居てますが海外に来てるみたいで楽しかったです🙆
色んな角度の富士山を見れるのでおすすめです🗻

There was a lot of traffic, and the driver had a tough time, but the tour guide was kind, and it was great with a small group. Of course, the weather was nice, and Mount Fuji was amazing.

渋滞ばかりで、運転手さんは大変やったけど、添乗員さんは親切で、少人数で大変よかったです。もちろん天気が良くて富士山は最高でした。

I participated in a day trip to Mount Fuji on April 29th. I felt it was great to be able to efficiently sightsee within a limited time. My wife and I were the only Japanese participants, but our conductor, Mr. Zhang Yu, was always polite and provided clear explanations, for which I am grateful. I wish you continued success in the future.

４月29日の富士山日帰り旅行に参加いたしました。
限られた時間で効率良く観光でき、参加して良かったと思いました。
日本人は私共夫婦二人だけでしたが、コンダクターの張宇さんには、終始丁寧に
解りやすく対応頂き、感謝しております。
今後とも、より一層のご活躍祈念いたします。

It felt like an overseas trip since everyone except for my spouse and me were foreigners, which was refreshing. The tour guide's service was the best I've ever experienced. Although the tour itself had a bit less time at each location, we enjoyed it thoroughly.

私達夫婦以外全て外国人、まるで海外旅行の様で新鮮でした。
添乗員さんの方の対応過去1番良かったです。
ツアー自体は各所時間少なめでしたが十分楽しめました。

I was guided by Kousei. He is fluent in Japanese, so I had nothing to worry about. In advance, he sent me an email with not only the meeting time and place but also the bus number we would be taking that day and a photo of the flag as a landmark, which made it easy for me to head to the meeting spot. We were the only Japanese people, but I really appreciated that he provided the guidance in English first and then in Japanese. If I have another opportunity, I would love to join him on another tour.

We were able to see Mount Fuji beautifully without any clouds. The black eggs at Owakudani were delicious and had a mild flavor. It was a bit disappointing that Oshino Hakkai had become too commercialized.

Kouseiさんにガイドしていただきました。日本語も堪能で何も心配することはありませんでした。事前にEmailで、集合時間や集合場所はもとより、当日乗車するバスのナンバーや、目印となる旗の写真も送っていただいて安心して集合場所へ向かうことができました。日本人は私たちだけでしたが、英語でガイドのあと、日本語でもしていただきとても感謝です。また機会がありましたら、他のツアーでご一緒させていただきたいです。
富士山は雲がかかることなくきれいに観ることができました。大涌谷の黒たまご、味がまろやかで美味しかったです。忍野八海は観光地化されてしまって少し残念でした。

It was a tour in English, so it helped me study English! Since there were many international participants, I had a lot of fun talking with people from overseas! It felt like I had an experience that was not quite Japan, even though I was in Japan.

英語でのツアーなので、英語の勉強になりました！
また海外の方が多いツアーなので、海外の方と話したりとても楽しかったです！
日本なのに日本じゃないような体験をしました

It was the best season for cherry blossom viewing, so the roads were congested and our departure was delayed, but I was able to enjoy the cherry blossoms from a different perspective on the second floor of the bus. The weather was nice, so the sunlight was quite hot.

お花見ベストシーズンだったので道路が混み合って出発が遅れましたが
バスの2階からいつもとは違う目線で桜を楽しむ事ができました。
お天気が良かったので日差しが暑かったです。

It was raining, and I wore the poncho I brought. I sat in the second row from the front. The rain gradually got stronger, and the view of the cherry blossoms was disappointing. Finally, when we were heading back, the roof came out. I wish we had had a roof from the beginning on a rainy day. The guide's sightseeing explanations were good. It would have been perfect if it had been sunny.

雨が降っていて、持参したポンチョを着て、1番前から２番目に乗りました。雨が段々強くなり桜も視界が悪く残念でした。
後半帰る時にやっと屋根が出て来ました。
雨の日は最初から屋根有りでお願いしたかったです。
ガイドさんの観光説明は良かったです。
晴れていたら最高でした。

I rode an open bus for the first time. The view of the cherry blossoms from up high was great. The view from the open bus is the best.

初めてオープンバスに乗りました。
高いところから見る桜良かったです。
オープンバスの眺めは最高です。

I arrived 30 minutes early.
There are many flags from various companies.
I can't find the flag for "VELTRA" that I signed up for, and I'm starting to feel anxious.
Then I received a call from someone holding an "EasyGo" flag.
When I got on the bus, it had a display for "FJONE."
Is this the right bus?????
I thought it would be an English tour guide, but I also received a Japanese tour guide just for the two of us Japanese people.
Thank you very much; it was fun!

30分前に着きました
各社のフラッグがたくさんある
申し込んだ「VELTRA」のフラッグが見当たらない　不安になってきた
　電話がきた「EasyGo」のフラッグを持った人から
　バスに乗ると「FJONE」の表示が
このバスで良いの？？？？？
　英語での観光案内と思っていたところ我ら日本人二人の為に日本語の観光案内も
有難うございました　楽しかったです

It was a tour that covered all the places I wanted to visit at Mount Fuji, but since it was aimed at foreign tourists, I hesitated until the last minute. However, since the guide spoke Japanese, I had no worries. I think it's a very cost-effective tour!

富士山で行きたところが全て網羅されたツアーでしたが、外国人向けツアーとのことで直前まで躊躇していましたが、ガイドさんが日本語を話せたため、心配はありませんでした。とてもコスパ良いツアーだと思います！

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。

I used it for the first time. The weather was nice, with blue skies and cherry blossoms above, making for a fun bus tour. There was traffic, so we could enjoy the sights slowly. The meeting place and drop-off location were difficult for newcomers, and I got lost.

初めて利用しました
お天気が良く、青空と桜が頭上にあり楽しいバスツアーでした
渋滞していてゆっくり鑑賞できました
集合場所と下車場所がお上りさんには難しく、迷いました

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!

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😢
