All Reviews for 2026 Japan Cherry Blossom Tours

It was disappointing that I couldn't see Mount Fuji due to bad weather. The meals were also not as good as I had hoped, which was disappointing.

However, our guide Mayumi was very accommodating.

天候不良で、富士山を見ることが、出来なかったから、残念でした。
食事も、内容的に、期待したほどでもなく、
がっかりしました。

ガイドのまゆみさんは、とても対応良かったです。

I think the only participants from Japan were the bus driver and myself. Thank you for providing a Japanese guide after the English one.
I see Mount Fuji from Gotemba every day, but unfortunately, I couldn't see it from the Yamanashi side due to the fog. However, the autumn leaves were beautiful.
It was a day spent in an extraordinary way.

参加した日本人は、バス運転手と私一人だったと思います。英語のあとにわざわざ日本語ガイドして頂き、ありがとうございました。
毎日御殿場富士を見ている私ですが…あいにく山梨側からの富士山は、霧で見られなかったです。が、紅葉が綺麗でした。
非日常を過ごせた一日でした。

The guide was very thoughtful. It was a fun day. Thank you very much. I would like to participate again. Highly recommended!

思いやりがあるガイドさんでした。楽しかった一日でした。ありがとうございました。また参加したいです。お勧め！

The view of Mount Fuji was stunning against the clear blue sky. On the way back, clouds started to appear, and I hummed the song about having my head above the clouds and the surrounding mountains. The hotel buffet was delicious, and the sightseeing boat ride was a great way to enjoy the travel experience. It was a tour filled with a sense of exotic charm, with many foreign visitors.

雲一つない青空に富士山がくっきりと映えて最高でした。
また帰りには雲が出てきて、
頭を雲の上に出し、四方の山を〜♬
口ずさみました。
ホテルのバイキングも美味しかったし、遊覧船も旅行気分満喫。
外国の方が多く異国情緒も味わえるツアーでした。

ありがとうございました、ロンさん。旅行を楽にしてくれて、すべての説明をしてくれて本当に感謝しています。私たちは富士山を見ることができてラッキーでした。素晴らしい体験でした！強くお勧めします。

Thank you so much Mr Long for making the trip easier and for all the explanations. We were lucky that we could see the Mont Fuji, it was an amazing experience! I strongly recommend

It was quite a good experience.
The charging facilities on the bus were very nice.
The lunch at the Highland Resort Hotel at the 5th Station of Mount Fuji and the sightseeing boat on Lake Kawaguchi were also great.
The disappointing part was that there wasn't enough time to ride the cable car at Lake Kawaguchi.

なかなかいい体験でした。
バス中の席に充電設備も用意してあり大変良かった。
また富士山５号目、ハイランドリゾートホテルのランチ、河口湖の遊覧船も良かった。
残念なところは時間なくて、河口湖のロープウェイを乗れなかった。

I was able to enjoy sightseeing at a leisurely pace, and it was more fun than I expected. Both the guide and the driver were kind. Since everyone else was a foreigner, the guide provided information in two languages, which I think was quite challenging, but I appreciated it. During our free time, I rode the Ferris wheel for the first time in a while. By the way, unlike what was mentioned in the tour description, the bus to and from the location was the same. Ultimately, it was a bit disappointing that I sent unnecessary luggage via courier, as I didn't have my suitcase the next day, and when I bought souvenirs, my bags became really heavy...

ゆっくり観光できて思った以上に楽しかった。
ガイドさんも運転手さんも親切でした。
私たち以外は外国人だったので、ガイドさんはすべて二か国語でガイドしてくださり、大変だったと思いますがありがたかったです。
自由時間に久しぶりに観覧車にも乗りました。
因みにツアーの説明書きとは違い、行きのバスと帰りのバスは同じでした。
結果的に送る必要のない荷物を宅配便で送ったのはちょっと残念でした。翌日はスーツケースがなかったので土産を買ったら荷物が重たくて重たくて・・・

I was frustrated because I couldn't find out whether the tour would proceed or be canceled until the last minute due to the typhoon. We decided to go anyway, but as expected, we couldn't see Mount Fuji, and the foreigners were disappointed. I thought it would have been better to cancel earlier. As for souvenirs, it would be nicer to give each participant something small instead of just one item for the whole group. I also used Veltra in Okinawa, and I feel like there were many disappointing things during that time as well.

間際まで台風の営業等です決行か欠行かの連絡がこちらからしないとわからなくてイラつきました。とりあえず行くことになったのですが案の定、富士山は眺められず外人達はガッカリしてました。それならもっと早くキャンセルすれば良かったとも思いました。お土産もIグループに１つってもう少し些細なものでも参加者一人一人にの方が良いですね。沖縄でもベルトラさん利用しましたがその時も色々とガッカリな事が多かった気がします。

Although almost everyone was from overseas, the guide and the bus driver were polite, and there were simple explanations in Japanese. I understood a little English, so I was able to enjoy the experience without any issues. Since it was during the Obon period, some changes were made to the sightseeing schedule due to traffic congestion. There wasn't a detailed guide; they took us to the spots by bus, and then we had almost complete freedom to explore on our own. I think this is recommended for those who want to visit tourist spots in a light and inexpensive way rather than having a fully guided tour.

ほぼ全員海外の方たちばかりでしたが、ガイドの方とバスの運転手も丁寧で日本語の簡単な説明もありましたし、英語も少しわかったので困ることなく楽しめました。御盆期間ということもあり、渋滞の関係で観光スケジュールが一部変更されました。細かいガイドがあるわけではなく、バスでスポットに連れて行ってくれたら自由行動がほぼです。しっかり説明付きの観光地巡りというよりかは、安く軽く観光地に行きたい方にはおすすめだと思います。

I think it was a typical bus tour with an irresponsible itinerary. It should have been clearly stated that the traffic conditions differ between regular days and the last day of the Obon holiday, which can affect the schedule. It's very unfortunate that the crew members, who had no responsibility, were blamed. The guide (Betty) was relaxed and enjoyable, unlike the typical Japanese style. Thank you for explaining in Japanese, even though it was in English and Chinese. It was a rushed tour, but thanks to the guide, I had a great time.

バスツアーにありがちな、無責任な行程表だったと思います。通常の日とお盆休みの最終日では車の込み具合も違ってくるので行程通りにはいかないことがある旨を明記しておくべき。
全く責任の無い乗務員の方が責められてしまいとても気の毒。
ガイドの方(ベティさん）は日本人と違いいい感じで力が抜けていてとても楽しいガイディングでした。英語、中国語なのに日本語でも説明下さりありがとうございました。駆け足のツアーでしたが、ガイドさんのおかげで楽しめました。

It was a perfect tour blessed with great weather. The tour guide, Hiro, and the driver were both kind and excellent. I had such a great time at the fifth station of Mount Fuji that time flew by, and if I could wish for anything, it would be a bit more time to stay. I would like to use this service again next time.

天候にも恵まれ 申し分ないツアーでした。
添乗員HIROさん、ドライバーさんも親切で最高でした。
富士山五合目楽しすぎて時間があっという間にすぎちゃたので 欲を言えばもう少し滞在時間欲しかったです
次回もまた利用したいと思います。

My mom (in her 60s) participated in a bus tour and said she had a great time. The scenery was very beautiful, and I highly recommend it.

The guide (Ikuko) was very kind, always smiling when she spoke, and she was a really lovely woman. She clearly explained the course as well. During the walk, she took my mom along and took pictures for her. We are very grateful for her help.

At one point, my mom accidentally dropped her clothes in the restroom, and the guide contacted us and helped find them, for which we were very thankful. The driver was also very skilled at driving.

It was a fun trip.

ママ(60代)はバスツアーを参加して、楽しく過ごしたと言われました。
景色もとても綺麗で、おすすめです。

ガイドさん(郁さん)もすごく優しくて、話するときにこにこして、とても可愛い女性でした。コースもはっきり説明していただきました。
散歩中にママを連れていて、ママに写真を撮ってくれました。お世話になりました。
途中でママが洋服をお手洗いに落としちゃって、ガイドさんが連絡して見つけてくれて、大変感謝致しました。
運転手さんも運転がしっかりしてました。

楽しい旅行でした。

I participated in a tour guided by a Chinese guide in English for the first time. The participants were more cooperative than I expected, and we were able to enjoy the trip smoothly without significant delays in departure or meeting times throughout the day. Although the participants were from different countries, everyone’s smiles left a strong impression. I truly think it was a comfortable tour.

As for the negative points, if the tour title is "Fifth Station of Mount Fuji" or "Mount Fuji Heritage Center," I personally think that if "Fifth Station of Mount Fuji" is written first, it should be the first destination we visit. I was particularly looking forward to going to the Fifth Station with my husband.

There were some traffic conditions, but on the day I participated, I felt like it would be manageable.

I have no other complaints. Thank you for a truly enjoyable day of travel.

初めて中国人のガイドさんが英語で案内されるツアーに参加しました。思った以上参加者の方々も協力的で出発時間、集合時間、一日中大きなディレイもなく、スムーズに旅行を楽しめることが出来ました。参加者は国々が違うようですが、みなさんの笑顔が印象でした。本当に快適なツアーだと思います。
マイナスなポイントでは、ツアーのタイトルは富士山五合目or富士山遺産センターでしたら、個人的で富士山五合目が前に書かれるとしたら、富士山五合目が先に行くべきかなと思います。また主人と共に五合目に行けるのが何より楽しみにしていました。
道路の混み合い状況はありますが、参加した日はなんとなく、実行できるような気がします。
他に不満はありません。本当に一日楽しい旅行ができて、ありがとうございます。

The guide provided information in both English and Japanese for the foreign guests besides myself. The sightseeing schedule was relaxed, allowing us to enjoy at a leisurely pace. The hotel lunch buffet was also wonderful, but next time I would like to try buying melon bread and other snacks at Mount Fuji.

私以外外国人の方でガイドは英語と日本語で
案内してもらえました
観光の時間もゆったり組んであったので
ゆっくり楽しめました
ホテルのランチバイキングも素敵だったのですが
今度行くなら富士山でメロンパンなど
買い食いしたいなと思います

Considering the price, it felt about right. What I really want to emphasize is that the tour guide should make it easier to find the tour by displaying the tour name or something similar during the morning gathering. Everyone was anxious because they couldn't find their tour. Moreover, the tour guide arrived late, and there wasn't enough time for a bathroom break after check-in before the departure time.

内容は値段から考えて、まあこんなもんかって感じ。とにかく何よりも言いたいのは、朝の集合の時にツアーガイアの人はツアー名を書いた表示をするとかもっと探しやすくする工夫をした方がいい。みんな自分のツアーが見つけられなくて不安になっていた。そもそもツアーガイドは来るのも遅くて、チェックイン後、出発時間までにトイレの時間取れない。

It was more fun than I expected. I think it would be better to extend the time for the fifth word a little more and shorten the time at Gotemba Outlet a bit. I'm glad the guide was a kind person.

思ったより楽しかった、5語目の時間もう少し伸ばして御殿場アウトレット少し短くてもいい気がします、
ガイドさんが優しい人で良かった、

The tour was conducted in a van with a small group (five foreign nationals and my spouse and me) instead of a sightseeing bus. The tour guide was kind and provided local information.

I was worried about whether we would be able to see Mount Fuji since it was cloudy in the morning, but we were able to see the summit of Mount Fuji as well as the Southern and Northern Alps beautifully, which was fantastic. At Lake Kawaguchi, we could freely explore with options like the cable car and sightseeing boat.

I think it would be easier to find the boarding location if there was a sign with the name "Veltra" at the Toranomon Bus Terminal.

少人数（外国籍のかた5人と私たち夫婦）で観光バスではなく、ワンボックスカーでのツアーでした。添乗員のかたも親切で現地の案内をして下さいました。
朝から曇りで富士山が見えるのか心配でしたが、富士山頂や南アルプス・北アルプスまできれいに見え、最高でした。河口湖ではケーブルカーや遊覧船など自由に散策できました。
虎ノ門バスターミナルにベルトラの名前があれば乗車場所がもっとわかりやすいと思いました。

We had an amazing time with Mina and Testu!! Ellos son muy simpáticos y punctuales. The van was very wheelchair accessible and all the places visit were accessible also! Gracias para las memorias buenas!! Matane!! :)

The journey while gazing at Mount Fuji from the bus was amazing. Since it was during Golden Week, the expressway was heavily congested, but I enjoyed the beautiful scenery so much that I forgot about it. The participants were diverse, coming from America, Europe, Australia, and Asia, which made me feel like I was traveling abroad. Both the guide and the driver were wonderful people.

バスから富士山をずーっと眺めながらの旅は最高でした。
GW中なので高速道路は大渋滞ですが、それを忘れてしまうほど美しい景色を堪能しました。
参加者は、アメリカ、ヨーロッパ、オーストラリア、アジアとバラエティに富んでいて、海外旅行をしている気分も楽しめました。
ガイドさんもドライバーさんも素敵な方でした。

The bus guide was very helpful, advising us on how to stay warm, moving us to seats with a roof, and sharing interesting stories. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom, but we could only truly enjoy them around the Imperial Palace at the beginning; in other areas, we only caught a glimpse of the blossoms, and the rest felt like just a tour of Tokyo. I wish we could have strolled a bit more in places like Ueno and enjoyed the cherry blossoms at a more leisurely pace; it was different from the tour I had imagined.

バスガイドさんは、寒くない様にアドバイスしてくれたり、屋根のある席に移動させてくれたり、お話も面白くて、とても良かったです。
桜も満開でしたが、肝心の桜が楽しめたのは、最初の皇居周りだけで、それ以外の地域は、桜は一瞬だけ見れて、後はただの東京巡りという感じでした。上野などで、少し散策出来たりと、桜をもう少しゆっくり鑑賞出来たら良かったのにと思い、想像していたツアーとは違ってました。

Most of the tours that were conducted experienced unpredictable weather, and it seemed that the cherry blossoms had not yet bloomed. However, on the day I participated, the weather was nice and the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, so I was very lucky. The course was also quite satisfying. I had high expectations for the view from the open-top bus, but unfortunately, the bus windows were dirty and looked foggy. What a disappointment.

催行されたツアーは、ほとんどが天気不順で、
桜もまだ開花してないようでしたが　私の参加した日は、
天気も良く　桜も満開　とても　ラッキーでした
コースもよく満足のいくものでした
オープントップバスで、さぞかし　良い眺めだろうと
期待していたのですが，なんと　バスの窓が汚れていて
曇りガラスのようでした。なんとも　残念

The road lined with cherry blossom trees in full bloom was beautiful, and I could see them up close from the open-top bus, almost as if I could reach out and touch them. Other than that, the view of the cherry blossoms was from a distance, which is understandable given the location, but I felt it would have been even better if I could have seen them a bit closer. The guide shared many interesting facts that I didn't know, which made me feel more knowledgeable.

There were children in the back who were crying, kicking the seats, and making noise with their juice holders. Since I like kids, it didn't bother me too much, but I thought it might be better to consider seating arrangements.

However, it was my first time riding a double-decker open-top bus, and the different scenery, the pleasant breeze, and the beautiful cherry blossoms made it a wonderful experience.

桜が満開で両脇に桜の木がある道はオープンバスで手がとどきそうなぐらい近い状態で見れて綺麗だった。その他は遠めの桜をみる感じで場所的にもしょうがないがもう少し近くで見れたらもっと良いと感じた。ガイドさんの話も知らなかったことが多く知識がました気がする。
後ろの方が子供連れで泣いたり、椅子をドンドンと蹴ることやジュースホルダーをガチャガチャと私は子供好きなので大丈夫ではあったが席を考えたほうが良いのかな〜と思いました。
ですが初めて二階建てオープンバスにのりいつもとは違う景色、風の心地よさ、桜も綺麗でとても良かったです。

Unfortunately, since the cherry blossoms are not blooming, it just turned into a situation of going around in circles on the bus, and because there are cancellation fees, I couldn't change my plans either, which was a bit disappointing.

残念ながら桜が咲いてないと、ただバスでグルグルまわっているだけとなり、キャンセル料金もかかるため、他にプランの変更も出来ず、ちょっとがっかりした

This year, the cherry blossoms bloomed later than usual, so they weren't in full bloom, but I think I was able to see quite a few flowers. The guide's talk was very informative, and I was surprised by how much I didn't know about the historical background and new discoveries, even though I live in Tokyo. It was really great. It was a tour that made me want to participate every year.

今年は桜が遅咲きだったので、満開とまではいきませんでしたが割と咲いている状態を見れたと思います。ガイドさんのお話がとても為になり、歴史的背景や新しい発見など、東京在住なのに知らない事が多くて驚きましたしとても良かったです。毎年参加したいなと思えるツアーでした。

I booked during the cherry blossom peak season, but unlike the photos, the cherry blossoms weren't close enough to see, and I didn't really need to ride the cold double-decker bus. I only saw one cherry blossom tree at the entrance of Ueno Park as I passed by, so I couldn't see anything inside. It felt like a trip just to visit tourist spots. It was inexpensive, and the guide was decent.

桜は満開シーズンで予約しましたが、写真とは違い桜が近くにあって見えるわけでもなく、寒い二階建てバスに乗る必要もないかなと。
上野公園は入り口の一本の桜を見たのみで横を通ったので中は全く見えず。
観光地を回る旅だったかな。
お安かったし、ガイドさんもそれなりかと。

The cherry blossoms were only partially in bloom, which was disappointing, but the weather was great with blue skies and warmth. Riding the double-decker bus for the first time with my three close friends was exciting! The guide's stories were educational and humorous, making it a fantastic experience. I've been to many famous cherry blossom spots before, but the view from the bus was refreshing. We all decided to go again next year! Thank you for a wonderful trip.

桜は１、2部咲きで期待外れでしたが、天候に恵まれ青空、暖かくて、初めての２階建バスは親友4人でワクワク❗️ガイドさんのお話は勉強になったり、ユーモアもあり楽しくて最高でした。行った事のある桜名所の数々ですが、バスからの眺めは新鮮でした。
また来年も行こう‼️と皆んなで決めました。楽しい旅をありがとうございました。

The cherry blossoms were unexpectedly late, and even though it was a double-decker bus for the opening, I couldn't fully enjoy the experience! It was disappointing. There's nothing that could be done about that. Instead, the guide did their best to share stories with us. I felt that booking seasonal events can be quite tricky.

予想外に桜が遅れ、せっかくのオープン二階建てバスだったのに、醍醐味味わえず❗残念でした。こればかりは、どうしようもない事でした。代わりにとガイドさんが一生懸命話をして下さいましたが。
季節のイベントは予約時期が難しいと、感じました。

The cherry blossoms are almost not blooming. Even on the trees that are blooming, there are only a few flowers. However, just feeling the pleasant breeze and listening to the guide's stories made for a very enjoyable cruise.

桜はほぼ咲いていません。咲いている木でも数輪程度がほとんど。
でも気持ちいい風を感じながら、ガイドさんの話を聞いてるだけで、十分楽しめたクルーズでした。

We made a reservation for five people and went by car. We intended to park at the Yaesu Underground Parking, and since my father is in a wheelchair and my mother might not be able to walk, we participated with both of them in wheelchairs. My parents and I got dropped off in front of the VIP lounge while our companion headed to the parking. However, everywhere was full, and we couldn't find a place to park by the time we needed to leave. The bus guide helped by pushing the wheelchair and checked the names of the two companions who were running late, ensuring that all five of us could participate until the end. I thought we arrived early, but it was our responsibility that we ended up searching for parking. Still, I was very grateful for the guide's kindness.

For those participating by car, please be careful.

The weather was cloudy, and there was a light rain for a short time, but we didn't get too wet. I wanted to enjoy cherry blossom viewing, but since the blooming forecast was delayed, we ended up looking for the few cherry blossoms that were blooming.

With two people not making it, three of us participated, and searching for the scattered blooming cherry blossoms became a good memory. After getting off, we met up with our companions and promised to join another tour together. My parents also participated in the double-decker bus, and since the stairs were dangerous, they were allowed to get on and off last, which made them happy as they were told to take their time.

I think it was good that even with a wheelchair and elderly people, we didn't have to get on and off the bus during the one-hour drive. Traveling can be tough for the elderly, but I appreciate tours that don't require frequent getting on and off in a short time.

I would like to thank all the staff, especially the guide. Thank you very much.

5人で予約し、車で行きました。八重洲地下駐車場に停めるつもりで、車椅子の父と歩け無くなるかもしれない母も車椅子を押しての参加で、VIPラウンジ前で両親と3人が降りて、同行者がパーキングへ向いました。しかし、どこも満車で
車が停められずに出発時間となりました。バスガイドさんが、車椅子を押してくれたり、間に合わない同行者を気にして2人の名前を確認してくれたり、最後迄5人で参加できる様に対応して頂きました。早目に行ったつもりでしたが、パーキング探しになったのはコチラの責任。それでもガイドさんの優しさが、とても嬉しかったので感謝しています。
車で参加される方は注意して下さい。

お天気は曇りで、途中にパラパラと雨が降りましたが、短時間でしたのでそれ程濡れる事も無かったです。
御花見をしたかったのですが、開花予想が遅れていたので、逆にチラホラと咲いている桜を見付ける様に御花見して来ました。

2人が間に合わず3人参加、チラホラと咲く桜を探すように見て廻った事も良い想い出となりました。
降車後、同行者と合流し　また違うツアーに参加する約束をしました。
両親も2階建てバスに参加し、階段が危ないため最後に乗降させて頂き、ゆっくりで良いですよ〜。と気遣って頂けたので、楽しかったと喜んでいました。
車椅子や高齢者でも、1時間のドライブで　バスに乗ったり、降りたりしないので良かったと思います。高齢者になると外出や旅行は大変ですが、短時間で乗り降りしないツアーは有難いと思います。

スタッフの皆様、特にガイドさんには
感謝しております。有難う御座いました。

Despite the rain, I had a great time thanks to the guide's entertaining stories and the driver's excellent driving.

雨の中でしたがガイドさんの楽しいお話しとドライバーさんの素晴しい運転のおかげで楽しい時間が過ごせました。
