All Reviews for Japan Autumn Tours 2024

I was excited to see the scenery from a different height than usual. The view after getting on the Metropolitan Expressway was especially thrilling, like some kind of attraction. The timing was just right, making it perfect for sightseeing during a break.

普段とはちがう高さで見れる景色に興奮しました。特に首都高速乗ってからの迫力は何かのアトラクションみたいです。時間もちょうどよく、隙間時間に観光するのにちょうどよいです。

Experience for a couple in their fifties!
Born, raised, and living in Tokyo all my life.
Unlike the old image of the sightseeing bus as just a Tokyo tour, we took an open bus to see Tokyo Tower and the Rainbow Bridge.
It was the season when the cherry blossoms were starting to bloom. It was a very warm day, but as we got on the expressway towards the Rainbow Bridge, the clouds started to look ominous, and then it began to rain.
They lent us raincoats at the beginning, but with the strong winds and rain, it felt like a little attraction, and it became a fun memory!
I want to experience a different course next time!

アラフィフ夫婦２人で体験！
生まれも育ちも住んでるところもずーっと東京。
昔のイメージ　はとバス＝東京観光とは違い
オープンバスで東京タワー＆レインボーブリッジ
桜が咲きはじめた季節。とっても暖かい日でしたが〜首都高に乗りレインボーブリッジへの途中
雲いきが怪しくなり、雨、雨
レインコートをはじめに貸してくれきていましたが…突風と雨でちょっとしたアトラクションのようでコレも楽しい思い出でした♪笑
次は違うコースでまた体験したいです♪

I took a double-decker, open-top bus from Tokyo Station, passing through the Imperial Palace, Tokyo Tower, and Rainbow Bridge.
Check-in was smooth.
Since the seats are assigned, there's no need to compete for a spot.
When there are fewer customers, you can sit more freely, further avoiding close contact.
I usually live and work in the metropolitan area, but riding the bus slowly and taking in the scenery was refreshing and different.
I actually wanted to ride during the time when I could see the night view, but I enjoyed it enough during the day.
Just keep in mind that since it's open, it's good to have warm clothing and glasses.

東京駅から皇居を通り東京タワー、レインボーブリッジを通る2階建て屋根なしバスに乗りました。
チェックインはスムース。
席も決まっている為、席取り合戦にならなくても済みます。
お客様が少ないと自由咳になるので、3密を更にさけて座ることもできます。
普段首都圏に住み働いてますが、ゆっくりバスに乗って案内されて見る景色はまた違って新鮮でした。
本当は夜景の見れる時間に乗りたかったですが日中でも十分楽しめました。
ただオープンなのでかなりの防寒対策メガネなどがあると良いです

Despite being just over an hour long, the bus tour felt like an attraction. It was very enjoyable. It was great to see Tokyo Tower from various angles, and the strong winds at Rainbow Bridge were quite an experience. You don't get to experience that often.

1時間あまりの、バスツアーにも関わらす、
まるでアトラクション。
とても、楽しかったです。
東京タワーがいろいろな角度見れたのもよかったし、レインボーブリッジの強風。
なかなか体験できませんよ。

It felt amazing to ride on a bus without a roof on a windy day while driving on the highway. It was great to see Tokyo Tower from various angles and to tour famous places like the Imperial Palace and Ginza by bus. I was with my child, and we had a lot of fun. It was refreshing since it was cloudy in late August. I would like to use a different route next time.

屋根がないバスでかぜが強い日で、高速道路を走ってるときは最高に気持ちよかった。
東京タワーをいろんな角度から見たり、皇居、銀座など有名な場所をバスで見廻るにはとても良かった。子供と一緒に乗り、楽しんでました。
８月後半で曇りだから爽快でした。
次回も違うコースで利用したいです。

I had a very enjoyable and great experience! Before getting on, it was pouring rain, and I was worried if we would actually go out. However, by the time we boarded, the rain had stopped, and we were told to wear raincoats.

I put on the raincoat and got ready to board! Without a roof, it was incredibly thrilling. Usually distant signs, traffic lights, buildings, and street trees were right there... I was having so much fun while shouting, "We're going to hit something!"

I think if you go in with the mindset of getting wet, you'll have an amazing time! It felt like Splash Mountain! However, because the rain was so heavy, I couldn't hear the guide's voice at some points, which was a bit disappointing. I thought it would be nice to have speakers along the way, even if not for every seat.

If I have the chance again, I would definitely like to ride on a sunny day. Thank you for the valuable experience that only the rain could provide!

とても楽しく、いい体験ができました！
乗る前は大雨が降っていて、果たしてこれは走るのか！？と不安を抱えて集合場所に向かいました。
乗る時は雨が止んでくれて、レインコートを着て乗車という事でした。
頭からレインコートを被り、いざ乗車！
屋根がないだけあって迫力満点です。普段遠くにある看板、信号、ビル、街路樹がすぐそこに…。
当たっちゃうー！と騒ぎながら楽しむことができました。
濡れる気満々でいけばめちゃめちゃ楽しめると思います！　気持ちはスプラッシュマウンテン!
ただ、雨が強かったのもあって途中でガイドしてくれるお姉さんの声が聞こえなくなってしまったのが残念。
一席一席とまでは言わずとも、途中にスピーカーがあってもいいなと思いました。

また機会があれば今度は是非晴れた日に乗りたいと思います。
雨だからこその貴重な体験をありがとうございました。

It felt great to explore Tokyo's famous spots on a sunny day, feeling the wind under the blue sky. Passing through places like the Rainbow Bridge, the Metropolitan Expressway, and under elevated bridges while directly feeling the wind on my face was like racing through the city on a roller coaster, and it was a lot of fun. I would love to ride again if I have time when I come to Tokyo. I also want to try a different course. Since the sun seemed strong, I wore a hat, but the wind was so strong that it almost blew off several times. I need to find a way to prevent that.

天気がいい日で青空の中、風を感じながら東京の名所を巡るのはとても気分が良かった。
レインボーブリッジ、首都高、高架橋下などを、顔に直に風を感じながら通過していくのは街中をジェットコースターで駆け抜けているような感じで楽しかった。
東京に来たときに時間があったらまた乗りたいと思います。
違うコースのもぜひ試してみたいなと思いました。
日射しが強そうだったので帽子をかぶっていったのですが風がとても強くて何回も飛ばされそうになりました。飛ばない対策必要です

I live in Tokyo, and I enjoyed my first ride.
While listening to the announcements, I was able to appreciate Tokyo Tower from various angles.
The Rainbow Bridge had strong winds, and unfortunately, I couldn't hear the announcements; it was so intense that I felt like I might be thrown into the sea, which was quite scary. It was a hot summer day, but measures for warmth and wind protection are essential.

東京在住ですが、初めて乗って楽しめました。
アナウンスの説明を聞きながら、色んな角度からの東京タワーが堪能できました。
レインボーブリッジは風が強くて、残念ながらアナウンスが聞こえず、海に放り出されそうで怖いくらいの迫力でした。夏日で暑かったですが、防寒防風対策は必須です。

I used to go directly to my destinations, but since it's cherry blossom season, I thought it would be nice to see the streets and scenery of Tokyo from a double-decker bus with a great view. We were able to see Tokyo Tower up close, and experiencing the highway on an open bus was something we don't often get to do, which made my family happy. It might be a bit cliché, but being able to enjoy sightseeing while resting my tired feet is definitely recommended.

今まで目的地にだけピンポイントで行っていましたが、せっかく桜の時期だし、眺めの良い2階建バスから東京の街並みや景色を見るのも良いかも…と計画しました。
東京タワーもまじかで見ることが出来、高速をオープンバスで走れるなんて中々出来ない体験をして家族も喜んでくれました。ベタかも知れませんが、歩き疲れた足を休めながら観光が出来るなんて…オススメですよ。

It was amazing to tour on a double-decker bus while feeling the breeze. The scenery I always see looked fresh and new. The cherry blossom season and illuminations also seem enjoyable.

風を感じながら2階立てバスで観光最高です。
いつも見ている景色が新鮮にみえました。
桜の時期やイルミネーションも楽しそう。

I searched for a tour that wouldn't be crowded for my elderly mother, who has health issues, and decided to join this one. On the day of the tour, it was just me, my mother, and her friend participating. They took thorough measures for temperature checks, sanitization, and maintaining distance between guests, so the COVID-19 precautions were excellent. Both my mother and her friend were very satisfied and said they wanted to try this in all four seasons! I was also thrilled by the beautiful night view of Tokyo, and I can't forget the impressive sight of Tokyo Tower that day. I am very grateful to all the staff who organized the tour while making efforts to prevent infections during the pandemic. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

高齢で持病ありの母のために、密にならないツアーを探しこちらに参加しました。
当日は私、母、母の友人の３人で参加。
検温、消毒、お客さん同士の間隔もしっかりとられていて、コロナ対策もばっちりでした。
母も母の友人も大満足で、春夏秋冬すべての季節に挑戦する！と言っていました。
私も綺麗な東京の夜景に大興奮で、あの日見た東京タワーの迫力は忘れられません。
コロナ禍の中、感染防止に努めながらツアーを開催して下さっているスタッフの皆さまに大感謝です。
素敵な思い出をありがとうございました。

It was a quick but enjoyable time, with plenty of services from the driver and interesting explanations from the guide. From a perspective that you wouldn't normally experience, you can enjoy sights like Tokyo Tower and the expressway, feeling like you're on a little roller coaster from the height of the bus. I would like to try a different course next time. My elementary school-aged child was also very happy.

あっという間の時間でしたが、運転手さんのサービスも盛り沢山、ガイドさんの解説も楽しめました。普段では味わえない目線からの東京タワーや高速道路など、バスの高さからちょっとしたジェットコースターに乗った気分を味わえます。今度は違うコースに行ってみたいですね。小学生の子供も喜んでました。

The seats are assigned with quite a bit of space in between. While the bus was moving, there was an incredible wind, so I was able to enjoy the ride without worry. The night view was more beautiful than I had imagined. I would like to participate again.

座席はかなり間隔をあけて指定されています。バスが動いている間は、物凄い風なので、心配なく過ごせました。
夜景は想像以上にきれいでした。また参加したい。

this was a great day tour, you got to see so much of tokyo , while riding around in the air-con bus! the guides were so much fun, and so helpful, we learned so much. there was a little bite of everything on this tour with not a whole lot of long walks. shrines were great and we loved the tokyo tower.

this is a great full day tour from tokyo, but was never a dull moment on the wholw trip. guide was informed, helpful , and very fun! ever stop was full of hstory and great views. mt. fuji was everything we hoped it woulf be. fun boat rides and the bullet train blow us away.

I was very lucky that we had a clear day during our Mt. Fuji trip so the group I was with was able to do and visit all the attractions as stated on the description except that we were only able to visit 1st station since 4th and 5th station were closed due to heavy snow. It's not a big deal though as there are still lots of chances to see the magnificent Mt. Fuji on the way. If you're planning to visit Mt Fuji during winter, make sure to layer well since its colder there compared to the city. Expect as well a long travel time from Tokyo to Mt Fuji as it's roughly 139 km away. And lastly, I highly suggest to take the option with Bullet train as it will only take you 40 mins back to Tokyo compared to 2-3 hours travel back by bus.

FYI, the bus first row (left and right) are reserved for the guide and driver#2!

The full day tour covered most of the attractions I want to visit in Tokyo! A must tour if you have a limited time and want to cover popular attractions.
Recommendation though for future travelers, please allot plenty of time to go the meeting point. Please consider as well Google Maps live view, its really helpful finding places in Tokyo! Honor as well the time provided by your tour guide, be back on the bus as he/she stated so you'll visit all the places on time.

FYI, the first row on the bus (left and right) are reserved for the tour guide and the 2nd driver!

We had a nice,relax city tour with this tour agent. Tour guide was very attentive and well organized. We had buffet lunch and we liked it very much. We will highly recommending people to join this tour.

Informative introduction to Tokyo and value for money.

a must do tour if you are in Tokyo. Fantastic tour guide and a great way to get the best views of Mt Fuji.

I was the only one who chose this tour on that day and the organizer respected the tour schedule and commitment.
professional tour guides and comfortable transportation.

This tour covers all the mandatory sights in and around Mount Fuji on a day trip from Tokyo. The guide was very helpful. If you have JR pass then you can take the shinkansen back to Tokyo else it is good idea to boom the tour with bullet train package. Food served during the tour was average. Overall a goos experience.

A perfect day in Tokyo:
1. The service we received was perfect.
2. The guides were very open to provide more and more information about Tokyo. We had 2 guides - pictures attached.
3. We visited all the places according to the program.
4. We learned more than we expected about Japan, Tokyo, the culture, etc.
5. The restaurant we visited was very nice. The atmosphere for typical Japanese style and we could feel Japan. The food was perfect. Thank you for your choice!
6. We really enjoyed Tokyo this day.
Thank you for the perfect service we received by your company!

Great trip. We were blessed with good weather allowing us to visit the 5th station and see Mt Fuji up close, and clear, although it is pretty cold up there (with the wind chill). Tour guide Yoshi is very professional, courteous, helpful all the way. He provided some good Japanese cultural and historical information which helped us to enjoy the tour even more. The Hakone ropeway ride and the Ashi cruise were also very enjoyable. The lunch was enjoyable. Everything in the trip was great. The drivers were safe & courteous. I couldn't ask for any more. Will definitely recommend this tour to anyone.

Our tour guide Mr Tetsuya "Teddy" ISHIDA, and driver 林 were very punctual and very friendly. He speak good in mandarin and English.
This trip is completely tailored to suit our family of five (3, 9 and 12 year old)
We were all blown away with how well we all enjoyed our day trip. We managed to get some brilliant images of Mt. Fuji. Highly recommended- money well spent

Booked package tour through veltra.com and immediately after online payment email confirmation received for tour details and pick up point. I found difficulty in locating pick up point, so advised travelers to have sufficient time margin in reaching pick up point, as bus departs on time without any further wait. Japanese people are very strict on time, so when they announce for time, be careful and return to bus before that time, otherwise you may miss the bus on any sightseeing point. Booked vegetarian food, but could not get anything there even salad was having meat. Alcohol are mixed in most food products. Vegetarian are advised not to book food in package. Better to carry your own food as alternate food availability is also not there other than included in package. It was sunny day, hence could see Mt Fuji amazing views and it made our day. 5th station was closed due to snow fall, hence we returned from 1st station. Only 10 min was given at first station, which was most beautiful place in entire trip and this was negative. Lot of time spent for lunch which was not necessary. Cruise trip was in dark, so it was just a boating, could not see the beauty around mountain. Return ticket for bullet train was given in bus and highly recommended due to heavy traffic jam during return trip. It took only 35 min to reach Tokiyo instead of 2.5-4 hrs in bus. Overall package cost was more, however tour is worth due to natural beauty. Lady guide was fluent in English and coordinated well the entire trip, except for time management. Recommend every traveler to visit Mount Fuji, it is must tour if you are in Tokiyo. You can leave Tokiyo city tour, if time does not permit but Mt Fuji tour is must, if whether permits.

Good day activity out of Tokyo. Not too strenuous for elderly yet get to see mt fuji and enjoy hakone! Lunch was good too. Only set back was controlling the other people on the tour. With each stop being 5-10mins late, we ended up being half hour late for last activity which was the lake ashi cruise and being late autumn/early winter, the sky was dark and we couldn't see anything! And because it was late we decided to take the bullet train back to tokyo which cost extra. Overall, a good day tour!

Fantastic and friendly Driver and guide. Very accommodating and great access for my large electric Wheelchair
As first-time travellers to Japan from Australia we had a great time.
Highly recommended

The guide was very good and informative. However, Mt Fuji was completely fogged in (even it was hard to see the shops at the 5th station in the fog), and it was rainy, foggy for all of the other sites. The lunch was great, though, and it was a nice day to get out of the city into the countryside. Because pretty much all of the sites were not visible I would have hoped that this tour be rescheduled (the following day was clear).

Both were great in providing the service, and the driver were really eager to make sure all of us had great time during that day. He also took us to very special place where we could enjoy watching Mount Fuji although the 5th station was closed due to slippery. Was such a great experience and service.
