All Reviews for Japan Autumn Tours 2024

The view from a high position was refreshing, and I was able to rediscover Tokyo's landmarks and streets. Without a roof, the 360-degree visibility was great, and there was a thrill when passing under the railway bridge. The guide's explanations were easy to understand and enjoyable. Next time, I would like to try a different course.

高い位置からの眺めは新鮮で、東京の名所や街を再発見できました。
屋根がないため、360度見通しも良く、鉄道橋下を通過する時はスリルもありました。
ガイドさんの案内も分かり易く楽しかったです。
次は、違うコースを乗ってみたいと思います。

I brought my same-day reservation number, but the bus staff told me that I couldn't board with that reservation. They instructed me to go to the office in front and handle the procedures there. At the office, I was mocked with questions like, "What is this company? Which company is this?" In the end, I had to fill out paperwork again, and it took about 10 minutes to issue my seat. Since I arrived early, I managed to avoid any major issues, but I was disappointed that the email from your company, which I received a few days prior to my trip, did not mention the procedures to follow on-site. I wonder if it was my fault for thinking that I could board with just the order confirmation and the OK email number. Oh, and it was really hot that day.

当日予約ナンバーを持って行きましたがバスの乗員にこの予約では乗れません。前にある事務所に行って手続きをして下さいと言われ行きました、事務所では何？この会社どこの会社なんて馬鹿にされました。結局又、書類に書き込みあらためて席次発券10分位かかりました。早めに行ったので事なきを得ましたが、その旨を数日前に届いた乗車が近づきましたの、御社のメールに現場での手続きの事が書いてありません。注文、okメールナンバーの写しがあれば乗れると思ったこちらが悪いのか。や～その日は暑かった。

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.

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。

I took advantage of the pair discount campaign and did a personal color diagnosis, body type analysis, and makeup lesson with a friend. The explanations were kind and detailed, allowing us to understand the colors and fashion that suit us! The personal color was very different from what we had thought, and I felt it was great to have it diagnosed by a professional! The makeup lesson was more thorough than I imagined; they dedicated a lot of time to it and taught us step by step from skincare, which was very educational.

ペア割のキャンペーンを利用して友達と2人でパーソナルカラー診断・骨格診断・メイクレッスンをしていただきました。
優しくかつ詳細までご説明いただき、自分に似合う色やファッションを理解できました！パーソナルカラーは自分たちが思っていたものと違ってすごく、プロに診断いただいて良かったと感じました！メイクレッスンは想像以上にしっかりと時間を割いて、スキンケアからステップ毎に細かく教えていただき、とても勉強になりました。

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。

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。

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。

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。

Had a nice trip with a very kind and helpful guide. Our concerns that the lunch would be very "touristy" were unfounded, it tasted great and of high quality!
In early spring stations 2 to 5 of Mt. Fuji were still closed, so we visited Oshino Hakkai instead, which was an acceptable alternative. Luckily the weather was great and we could see Mt. Fuji very clearly with a beautiful snow cap on top.
Unfortunately, we felt a little bit rushed and did not have a lot of time to explore the destinations, but I doubt that this would have been better with a different tour.

The tour guide provided very little information throughout the tour and did not fulfill the role of a guide. She was a Chinese woman, and while her attitude was not bad, it was quite disappointing. Regarding the destinations, she only mentioned the meeting times, and that was it.

When another guest tried to engage in conversation by asking questions, the responses were completely off-target, leading to awkward laughter among everyone.

I don't intend to make comments based on nationality, but foreigners likely can't distinguish between Japanese and Chinese people, so as a Japanese person, it felt uncomfortable. For a tour in Japan, I would prefer a guide who is either Japanese or has knowledge at a similar level. Even just sharing small anecdotes that a Japanese person would naturally know (like about the Fuji Five Lakes or the differences between the Shizuoka and Yamanashi sides, or about the Aokigahara Forest) would have made a significant difference in the overall impression.

ツアーを通してガイドさんからの情報があまりにもなく、ガイドとしての仕事をしていない。中国人の女性で、態度が悪いとかではないのだがあれではかなりガッカリ。目的地についても集合時間を言うだけで、それだけ。
別のお客さんが会話を繋げるために質問をしても完全に的外れな回答でみんな失笑。

国籍でどうこう言うつもりはないが、外国人からは日本人も中国人も見分けがつかないだろから、日本人としては嫌な気持ちになった。
日本の案内なら日本人か同レベルの知識がある外国人にガイドをお願いしたい。日本人なら当然知っている程度の小話（富士五湖のことや静岡側・山梨側、樹海のこと）だけでもあると全然印象が違うのにな、と思った。

I was able to feel the wind and enjoy a very powerful and beautiful view from a different height than usual. I would love to ride again.

風を感じられて
普段とは違う視界の高さで
とても迫力もあり
とても綺麗な景色を楽しめました
また乗りたいなと思います

I love Mount Fuji! It's so beautiful. However, the sightseeing time is short, the matcha experience is brief, and there is only one hour for shopping. I don't think the satisfaction level is high, but I hope for improvements. I plan to introduce this to my friends.

大好きな富士山🏔️とても綺麗です🏔️
　　でも観光時間短く､抹茶🍵体験時間短く買い物🛍️時間も1時間しかありません、満足度高いと思いませんが、改善してほしい､これから友人に紹介しょうと思っています。

Hello, I want to recommend Veltra because everything was always very professional with the people who organize it. Amy, super good, gave me a thousand recommendations.
The super patient guide and driver recommended that my children go to places that he knew they would like because of their age.
What I didn't like very much was that the food was very long, it was good that they had the experience but it was too long which we wasted time there.

We were the only Japanese couple, but our guide Betty provided thorough explanations in Japanese, which was really helpful. There was traffic on New Year's Day, but we were able to see everything as planned, and I am grateful to the driver as well. This year, as I turn sixty, it has become the best memory for me.

日本人は私ら夫婦だけでしたが、ガイドのベティさんは日本語で丁寧に説明してくださり本当に助かりました。
元旦で渋滞もありましたが全て予定通り見学できて運転手さんにも感謝しております。
今年、還暦を迎える私ですが最高の思い出になりました。

We enjoyed the tour thoroughly. We were lucky enough to be able to go up to the 5th level. It was -8 degrees up there but the views were breathtaking. And we got a close view of Mt. Fuji too.
The souvenir shop offered us complimentary tea on arrival which was lovely and very welcoming. We were each given a little complimentary bell too which is supposed to bring good luck and long life to the owner.
The lunch at Lake Kawaguchiko was really nice too. The food great and the experience of eating out of the bowl while the food was cooking was amazing!

会議場所はとても見つけやすく、責任者が待っていました。公共交通機関のために並ぶ手間もありませんでした。

Very easy to find the meeting place and there was a person in charge waiting. No hassle to queu for a public transport.

We participated as sisters aged 75 and 73. During the day, we took this course, and at night, we went to Tokyo Mega Illumination and stayed at a business hotel. Although we live in Saitama Prefecture and are not very confident in our mobility, it was difficult to return home at night after participating all day, so we stayed overnight. It became a wonderful memory, and we really enjoyed it. The Sky Transportation was excellent.

75才と73才の姉妹で参加しました。昼はこのコースに夜は東京メガイルミに行ってビジネスホテルに宿泊しました。私達姉妹は埼玉県に住んでいますが　足もあまり自信がなく　昼夜の参加で夜の帰宅が大変なので1泊して帰りました。
良い思い出になり本当に楽しかった。　スカイ交通最高でした。

The weather was nice, perfect for a sky bus ride. I thought there wouldn't be many people since it was December, but it was almost full. Since there was no roof, it was thrilling when we passed under the elevated tracks. Time flew by in no time.

お天気が良く、最高のスカイバス日和。12月なのであまり人がいないかと思っていたら、ほぼ満席。屋根がないので、高架線の下を走るときにはスリル満点。あっという間に時間が過ぎました。

I was worried about the weather, but the slightly cool breeze felt nice. It wasn't as cold as I had thought, and it was comfortable. Usually, when I'm driving, I can't take my time to look around, so I was moved to be able to appreciate the scenery again. The guide was also very polite and it was great. Next time, I want to take a different route.

お天気が心配でしたが
少し冷たい風が気持ちよかったです。
思っていたより寒くなく
快適でした。
普段車の運転をしていると
なかなか周りをゆっくりみれないので、
改めて、眺めることができて感動しました。ガイドさんも丁寧でとてもよかったです。今度は違うルートに乗りたいです。

This is my second time on the English and Chinese tour. Once again, I was the only Japanese person! I was approached in broken Japanese, and I enjoyed a delicious lunch, as well as received directions to the meeting place. Thanks to that, I was able to spend a pleasant time.

英語、中国語ツアーは、今回2回目です。またまた日本人は、私ひとり！片言の日本語で声をかけて頂き、ランチが、美味しく頂けましたし、集合場所を教えてもらったりしました。お陰で和やかな時間が過ごせました。

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！

It wasn't too hot or too cold, so the breeze felt nice. It was a good preview experience of Tokyo, as I got to see places like the Imperial Palace, Tokyo Tower, and cross the Rainbow Bridge, even though I couldn't drive myself.

暑くもなく寒くもなくだったので風が気持ちよかったです。皇居、東京タワー、レインボーブリッジを渡るなど、自分で運転できないので、東京の一部を知る下見体験としてよかったかな。

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

You can see Tokyo Tower from the bottom to the top, and the view from the Shuto Expressway to the Rainbow Bridge feels like riding a roller coaster—it's exhilarating! It was a fun bus ride, feeling the wind on my body.

東京タワーを下から上までガッツリ見れて首都高速からレインボーブリッジはまるでジェットコースター乗ってるような爽快感　風を身体に感じて楽しいバス時間でした

The sights are fascinating. You can immerse yourself in the natural wilderness of the mountains and lakes, which are all part of the unique geological formations, from the comfort of various vehicles. Throughout the journey, the tour guide acquainted us with Japanese culture.

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。
