All Reviews for Japan Autumn Tours 2024

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.

I had been curious about this for a long time, and this was my first time riding.

Positive points:
The weather was great, making it comfortable, and the scenery was beautiful.
The guide was very attentive.
Since it was a relatively empty trip, they changed all reserved seats to free seating.

Other:
With the free seating, passengers were able to choose their own seats and spread out happily, but a couple moved to the front seats after the bus departed.
I would have preferred if seat changes during the driving portion of the tour were not allowed (there are safety concerns, and there was no specific warning about this).
After moving, they kept taking selfies, constantly worrying about being in the frame.
It was unfortunate that the bad manners of the couple who moved to the front seats blocked my view, especially since it had been so comfortable before.

I was very pleased with the consideration of having free seating, so it would have been appreciated if there had been an announcement to discourage moving after the tour started.

I think the bus experience was very enjoyable. Thank you.

ずっと気になっていて今回初めて乗車しました。

よかった点
天気に恵まれて快適にすごせ、景色もよかった
ガイドさんも丁寧だった
比較的空いている回だったので、指定席を全席フリーに変更してくださった


その他
フリー席になって乗客も各々好きな座席を確保し、散らばってよろこんでいたものの、バス出発後に、前の席に移動してきたカップルがいた。
ツアーが始まってからの運転走行中の座席移動はやめていただきたかった(そもそも安全面で疑問ですが、特に注意もなかった)
移動後はずっと自撮りをされていて、こちらが画面に映り込むのを終始気にする始末
せっかく快適だったのに途中から移動してきた前席のマナーが悪く、視界が遮られて残念だった

フリー席にしてくださる配慮はとても嬉しかったので、ツアー開始後の移動はやめるようアナウンスをいれていただけるとありがたかったです

バスはとても楽しいものだったと思います。
ありがとうございました。

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。

I've experienced Tokyo sightseeing several times, but seeing Tokyo from the high vantage point of the Sky Bus was something else. The detailed explanations from the guide at key points made it even more enjoyable.

東京観光は何度の経験しているけど、あのスカイバスの高い目線で見る東京は別物でした。またガイドさんの要所要所での詳しい解説があってより一層楽しい一時になりました。

I went on a sightseeing tour in Tokyo with friends for the first time during the Golden Week event, riding on an open deck. It was quite thrilling to see the Rainbow Bridge and Kachidoki Bridge from below while being in the city. I never imagined I would be driving on the highway with the top down; it felt unbelievable! The day after Children's Day, there were carp streamers and sanma streamers at Tokyo Tower. I was impressed by the guide's skillful explanations, and before I knew it, the tour was over. I would like to participate again in a different season. Thank you for your hospitality.

GWのイベントで友人と初めてオープンデッキでと都内観光しました。都内にいながら下から見るレインボーブリッジやかちどき橋はなかなかスリル満点でした。
高速道路をオープンで走るなんて考えてもみなかったからウソでしょ?って感じでした。
こどもの日の次の日で東京タワーには鯉のぼりとサンマのぼりがありました。
ガイドさんの巧みな説明に感心しながらあっという間に終わってしまいました。
今度は季節を変えて参加したいと思っています。
お世話になりました。

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 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

I was concerned about the weather and temperature, but it was clear and unseasonably warm, making it comfortable. Passing directly under Tokyo Tower and crossing the Rainbow Bridge was truly impressive. I've been to Tokyo many times, but I was captivated by the city from a different perspective.

お天気や気温が気になっていましたが、快晴とこの時期にしては高温だった為、快適でした。
東京タワーの真下を通ったり、レインボーブリッジを通る時は、大迫力でした。
東京には何度も行ってますが、違った目線で見る都会に魅了されました。

I was worried about the tour being in both Chinese and English, but most of the participants were from Taiwan. Everyone had great manners and was very punctual, which made the experience enjoyable. The guide was also from China and was able to assist us in Japanese individually, which I appreciated.

The long-awaited trip to Nikko was wonderful. We were able to visit major tourist spots like Toshogu Shrine, Lake Chuzenji, and Kegon Falls, making it a tour filled with the charm of Nikko. However, it was unfortunate that the temperature dropped in the afternoon, and it was a bit chilly on the bus.

中国語と英語対応のツアーということで心配でしたが、参加者は殆ど台湾の方々でした。皆さん時間もマナーも素晴らしく、とても気持ちよかったです。ガイドも中国の方で、個別に日本語で対応していただき嬉しかったです。
ずっと行きたかった久しぶりの日光は素晴らしく、東照宮、中禅寺湖、華厳の滝と主要観光地を巡ることができ、日光の魅力の詰まったツアーでした。
ただ、午後から気温が下がり、バスの中も肌寒かったのは残念でした。

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！

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。

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。

It was great to see various famous spots like the Imperial Palace, the National Diet Building, and Yasukuni Shrine. The tour lasted just under an hour, making it a nice sightseeing experience.

The guide also shared a lot of information, which was wonderful.

皇居や国会議事堂、靖国神社など色々な名所と見ることができてよかった。
時間も1時間弱で、いい観光になりました。

ガイドさんも色々教えてくれて、良かったです。

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。

It was a beautiful day, and the hour flew by in no time. I boarded the bus after taking measures against the cold, and the warmth blowing from the floor by the window was very comfortable. Thank you for explaining the history in a fun and easy-to-understand way, from the past to the present. The view was outstanding, especially since there was no ceiling. It was an interesting experience to have tunnels and signals passing just above our heads, full of thrills. I would love to try a different course if I have the opportunity again.

お天気の良い日で、あっという間の１時間でした。寒さ対策をしてバスに乗り込みましたが、窓際の足元から暖房が吹き出ていて心地良かったです。
歴史から現在の姿まで楽しくわかりやすくお話をしてくださりありがとうございました。
天井がないだけあって見晴らしは抜群。
トンネルや信号が頭上すれすれを通っていくのは面白い体験でスリル満点でした。
また、機会があれば違うコースを体験させていただきたいです。

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。

It was my first experience. When crossing the Rainbow Bridge, the wind was a bit cold, but the weather was very nice, and everything felt like a dream. However, I couldn't hear the guide's audio at all. Please raise the volume a little more. The person sitting next to me was a local from Tokyo, so they explained various things to me.

初めての体験でした。
レインボーブリッジを渡る時は ちょっとだけ
風は 冷たかったけどとても天気が良くて
全てが夢のような時間でした。
ただガイドの音声が全然聞こえませんでした。もう少し 音量を上げて下さい。
お隣に座った方が 東京が地元の方だったので その方にいろいろ説明をしてもらいました。

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 a cold day for the ride, but I felt that experiencing the cold was one of its charms. The best part was the female guide, who was very polite, easy to understand, had a pleasant voice, and even made us laugh. The staff at the reception were also courteous, and I felt that everyone was kind. If I have the opportunity again, I would definitely like to take the ride.

寒い日の乗車でしたが、寒さを体感出来るのも魅力のひとつとも思わせてもらえました。
1番良かったのがとても丁寧で分かりやすく、笑いもあり聞きやすい声の女性のガイドさんでした。受付の方も丁寧でスタッフの方々が優しい人ばかりだと感じました。
また機会があれば是非乗車したいと思います。

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

I had the experience with six relatives in San Francisco. Everyone was impressed and said it was wonderful. Also, the guide's announcements were polite and enjoyable.

サンフランシスコの親戚6名と一緒に体験させてもらいました。
みんな、素晴らしいと、感激してました。
また、ガイドさんの、アナウンスが、丁寧で、楽しかったです。

I live in Tokyo, but I had never visited the tourist spots, so it was refreshing. More than anything, the open air felt great, and we all screamed with excitement! My parents and my sister's family, who went with me, were also thrilled, so I would like to join a different course next time!

都内に住んでいますが、観光地を巡ったことがないので、新鮮でしたし、何より屋根がないのがとても気持ち良くて、家族みんなで絶叫しました！一緒に行った両親や姉家族も大喜びでしたので、また違うコースに参加したいと思います！

Our experience of the Mt. Fuji tour exceeded our expectations. At the 5th Station all was clear sky and sun for the summit and a spectacular sea of clouds below; quite stunning! Our family group of five enjoyed the schedule's pace, the various stops neither too long nor too short. The lunch, very good. The motor coach, comfortable. The most outstanding part of the tour was our guide who provided helpful information, often with humor; thank you, Haruko san!
