Tokyo
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

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.
Let them think carefully about where and how to eat, how long it takes so that they don't feel like
Hello, thank you for choosing our Tokyo 6-hour tour. We believe your family enjoyed highlights of Tokyo with historical place visit, traditional Japanese foods in one of the best Washoku restaurants in Tokyo and Japanese sub-culture shops. Looking forward to serving you again soon with another itinerary. Thanks again and best regards,
Teddy.
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。
At the fifth station of Mount Fuji, warmer clothing than usual is necessary.
富士山五合目は普段以上の防寒着が必要です。

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!
If the allocated time at the 8 ponds can be extended by even 15 minutes that would be awesome.
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。
It was great. I recommend it.
良かった。オススメです。

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。
During the cold season, even if the weather is nice, the wind can be chilly, so having a hat, scarf, and lap blanket can keep you warm.
寒い時期には、お天気が良くても風が冷たいので、帽子やマフラー、膝掛け等があると暖かいです。

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。
There is a map of the route available, so it was even easier to understand while looking at it. The hat was helpful against the wind.

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!

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.

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。
Translated by OpenAI
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。

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。

The Rainbow Bridge course was impressive, but it was a bit fast and scary, so I preferred this one because it was slower, and the announcements were easier to hear.
レインボーブリッジコースも迫力があって良かったですが、ちょっとスピードも早くて怖かったので、こちらの方がゆっくり，アナウンスもよく聞こえて好みでした。

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。

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。

Could see many places around Tokyo. Only thing is they don't allow to get off the bus.
The meeting place (somewhere in the building?) was hard to find. If it was this confusing, I would have liked to see a staff member arrive at least 30 minutes before the meeting time to help organize things. In fact, other tour staff members were already there.
The tour guide seemed to be Chinese and wasn't very proficient in languages other than Chinese. The English was also hard to understand (my daughter-in-law speaks English). What I found most disappointing was the lack of knowledge about Japan and the Japanese language. I participated with my daughter-in-law, who only speaks English and is from Canada, while I am a Japanese person who is okay with English.
The most unpleasant part was that the guide couldn't pronounce difficult words like Kegon Falls and Lake Chuzenji. They also couldn't explain Irohazaka (not understanding the meaning of "Iroha"). It was unfortunate that lunch was a vegetarian meal, but there was no explanation, so some participants were confused about whether there was meat in the meal (they didn't know what yuba was).
It's such a good tour, but as a Japanese person, I felt disappointed.
集合場所（ビルのどこか？）がわかりにくかった。
これだけわかりにくいのなら、少なくとも集合時間の30分前には係の人がきて整理してもらいたかった。実際にほかのツアーの係の人は、来ていました
ツアーの添乗員が中国人（？）らしい方で、中国語以外が上手でない。英語もわかりにくかった（義娘は英語）
一番だめだと思ったのが、日本や日本語の知識がない。
私はカナダから来た英語のみの義娘と参加した、英語は大丈夫な日本人です
最も不愉快だったのは、華厳の滝や中禅寺湖など難しい単語が発音できないこと。いろは坂の説明ができないこと（イロハの意味がわかっていない）
気の毒だったのは昼食が精進料理だったのですが、全く説明がなかったため、この食事の中に肉があるのかどうかわからず食べれず（ユバがなんだかわからないですよ）困っていた参加者がいました
せっかくこのような良いツアーなのに、日本人として残念でした

Even though it's a city, the bus passes through refreshing greenery.
With the guide's instructions, we were able to enjoy the scenery by turning right and left.
It was truly a delightful moment.

Good trip if no raining. But with rain it's not good. That's all. The recording should be synchronised. The descriptions in English should be more discriptive.
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、
