All Reviews for Tokyo Bus Tours

It was fun and exciting, definitely worth the money.

We had a wonderful time spending the entire day with Makoto. He is very knowledgeable, has a good attitude, and is a very respectful person! I am very happy I had Makoto as a tour guide! He always had a smile on his face, which set the tone from the very first moment we saw him!!!!!

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。

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。

It was the best season for cherry blossom viewing, so the roads were congested and our departure was delayed, but I was able to enjoy the cherry blossoms from a different perspective on the second floor of the bus. The weather was nice, so the sunlight was quite hot.

お花見ベストシーズンだったので道路が混み合って出発が遅れましたが
バスの2階からいつもとは違う目線で桜を楽しむ事ができました。
お天気が良かったので日差しが暑かったです。

It was raining, and I wore the poncho I brought. I sat in the second row from the front. The rain gradually got stronger, and the view of the cherry blossoms was disappointing. Finally, when we were heading back, the roof came out. I wish we had had a roof from the beginning on a rainy day. The guide's sightseeing explanations were good. It would have been perfect if it had been sunny.

雨が降っていて、持参したポンチョを着て、1番前から２番目に乗りました。雨が段々強くなり桜も視界が悪く残念でした。
後半帰る時にやっと屋根が出て来ました。
雨の日は最初から屋根有りでお願いしたかったです。
ガイドさんの観光説明は良かったです。
晴れていたら最高でした。

I rode an open bus for the first time. The view of the cherry blossoms from up high was great. The view from the open bus is the best.

初めてオープンバスに乗りました。
高いところから見る桜良かったです。
オープンバスの眺めは最高です。

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 used this service to guide my overseas friends around Tokyo. We had a very enjoyable and fulfilling time visiting places like the Imperial Palace and Asakusa.

However, the Tokyo Tower at the end was quite crowded that day, and due to the weather, the view wasn't very good, which was disappointing. There are many tall buildings around, so the scenery was a bit different from what I had expected. In the future, it might be a good idea to consider alternative spots depending on the crowd situation.

The guide from the Hato Bus provided very clear explanations about Japan, and I learned a lot of new things myself. Overall, we had a great time.

海外の友人を東京案内するのに利用しました。
皇居や浅草までは非常に楽しく、充実した時間を過ごせました。

ただ、最後の東京タワーは当日かなり混雑しており、天候の影響もあって眺望があまり良くなかった点が残念でした。周囲に高い建物が多いこともあり、期待していた景色とは少し違いました。
今後は混雑状況によっては、別のスポットを検討してくれると良いのかもしれません。

はとバスのガイドの方の日本の説明はとても分かりやすく、私自身も新たに知ることが多く、全体としては楽しい時間を過ごせました

While it is indeed written that "the event will proceed even in the rain" and "bring rain gear," there are limits to this. It's unbelievable that they wouldn't close the roof despite the heavy rain. Because of the rain, I could only look down, and even though the guide was showing us the cherry blossom spots, I couldn't see anything. I felt like I was just paying to get soaked while riding the bus. They were selling cheap raincoats for those without rain gear, but they were flimsy plastic. I don't think they would protect anyone from the rain. It was also sad for the children. I understand the organizers' point that "if the roof is closed, you can't see the cherry blossoms," but since there are windows, I think it would be better to look out from there. It's better than not being able to see anything at all while looking down.

確かに「雨でも決行」や「雨具用意」とは書いてありますが限度があります
ひどい雨にもかかわらず屋根があるのに閉めないなんてありえない
雨のせいで下を向くしかなくガイドさんが桜の名所を案内してるのに見ることができません
お金を払って雨に打たれてバスに乗ってるだけでした
雨具を持ってない人向けのカッパも売ってましたがペラペラのビニール
あれでは雨から守れないと思います
子供もいて可哀想でした
運営側の「屋根があると桜が見えない」というのもわかりますが窓があるのでそこから見ればいいと思いますよ
下を向いて全く見えないよりマシです

Unfortunately, it rained, and I was able to purchase a 100 yen raincoat, but when I looked up, the rain hit my face, and I could hardly see the cherry blossoms. I heard that the bus is designed to have a closed roof, but due to company policy, it wasn't allowed. I think if the roof had been closed, we could have enjoyed the cherry blossoms more comfortably. There were about 40 passengers, but due to the cold and the rain coming in through the gaps in the raincoats, most of us got off along the way. I sincerely hope that the announcement includes a note stating that the roof may be closed in case of rain.

運悪く雨天となり100円のカッパを購入できましたが　上を向くと雨が顔にあたり桜はほぼ見れませんでした　バスは屋根が閉まる仕様との事ですが会社の方針でダメとの事　屋根が閉まれば落ち着いて桜も楽しめたのではと思います
40名程の乗車でしたがあまりの寒さとカッパの隙間からも入る雨に殆どが途中降車でした
案内の一文に雨天では屋根が閉まる場合もありますといれての運行を切に願います

The weather was nice, and it was a refreshing day for cherry blossom viewing, so I enjoyed it. However, the guide's talk was drowned out by the surrounding noise, making it very difficult to hear, which was disappointing.

お天気も良く、風も爽やかなお花見日和だったので楽しめましたが、ガイドさんのお話は周りの音に消されてとても聞き取りにくく、残念でした。

I used it for the first time. The weather was nice, with blue skies and cherry blossoms above, making for a fun bus tour. There was traffic, so we could enjoy the sights slowly. The meeting place and drop-off location were difficult for newcomers, and I got lost.

初めて利用しました
お天気が良く、青空と桜が頭上にあり楽しいバスツアーでした
渋滞していてゆっくり鑑賞できました
集合場所と下車場所がお上りさんには難しく、迷いました

For us who are over 70 years old, it was wonderful to enjoy the surroundings of the Imperial Palace without the hassle of walking around! We took the 10:00 bus course and got off in Asakusa. We enjoyed walking along the Sumida River and through the lively streets of Asakusa, as well as a delicious lunch. The cherry blossoms were not yet in full bloom, but we were able to fully enjoy the feeling of hanami (flower viewing).

７０歳を過ぎた私達には
歩いては回るのは大変な皇居の回り等々を
楽して楽しむことが出来最高‼︎
10：00のコースのバスに乗車し浅草で下車。
隅田川沿いや賑やかな浅草の街歩き、
美味しいランチも楽しみました。
桜は満開まではもう少しでしたが、十分お花見気分を味わうことができました。

The weather was cloudy and cold, and the cherry blossoms were either in full bloom or had already started to leaf out. Because it was cloudy, I couldn't take my time to enjoy the sakura. I just passed by in the car, and I only saw the famous spots from a distance, so it felt more like a sightseeing tour of Tokyo rather than a cherry blossom viewing experience.

天気も曇りで寒く、桜も満開か葉桜でした。
曇っているのもあるが、
さくらをゆっくり見ることができなかった。車で通り過ぎるだけ、名所も遠くから見るだけだったので、お花見ツアーと言うか、東京観光って感じでした

I participated on April 1st, but the cherry blossoms were already past their peak. I enjoyed the tour as the guide shared various insights about Tokyo, but I think it would be better to join at the end of March next time.

4月１日に参加しましたが、桜は、もうすでに葉桜。
ガイドさんのお話で、東京を色々案内していただいたので、たのしめましたが、次回は、３月の末に参加が良いと思いました。

I was concerned about the cherry blossom blooming status and the weather, but both were perfect on the day of the event. It was great to see the cherry blossoms from a high vantage point on the bus without having to walk through the crowds of spectators in the city center. The guide's explanations were detailed and informative! Passing under the elevated tracks was thrilling and fun. We got off the bus in Asakusa and visited Senso-ji Temple without going through the crowded Nakamise street, and then we enjoyed the view of the Tokyo Skytree and cherry blossoms leisurely at Sumida Park.

桜の開花状況と天気が気になりましたが当日は両方に恵まれて最高でした。
都心の桜を見物客の混雑の中を歩かずにバスの上の高い目線から見られて良かったです。
ガイドさんの説明も詳しくて良かった！
高架下をくぐるのもスリリングで面白い。
浅草でバスを降りて浅草寺を横から仲見世の混雑を通らずにお参りして、隅田川公園でスカイツリーと桜をゆっくり楽しみました。

I participated with my mother and daughter, making it three generations. The bus had no roof, so it felt a bit chilly, but it was great to see the cherry blossoms up close. Overall, they were about 30% in bloom, but the guide's explanations were bright and enjoyable. We got off in Asakusa, had a meal, and then walked to Ueno Park.

母、娘、私の３世代で参加。バスは屋根が無いので少し肌寒く感じましたが桜を間近に見られて良かったです。全体的には３分咲き程度でしたが、ガイドさんの説明も明るく楽しかったです。
浅草で降りて、食事をしてから上野公園まで歩きました。

The cherry blossoms were a bit early, but the view from the second floor, which is usually not seen, was exciting, and I thought a bus tour was nice for a change. The guide was very enjoyable and provided a great tour.

桜はちょっと早めでしたが、普段は見られない2階からの眺めはテンションがあがるし、たまにはバスツアーも良いと思いました。ガイドさんがとても楽しく案内してくれました。

The rain was a natural occurrence, so it couldn't be helped, but I regretted participating just to avoid the cancellation fee. The glass fogged up, and I couldn't see the scenery or the flowers from inside the bus, plus it was cold, so there was nothing good about it at all. Even at the initial meeting point, it said to wait until the staff guided us, but even after the time passed, no staff showed up, which left a bad impression of poor organization. Since we paid the same fee as on a sunny day, I hope they consider a plan that can be enjoyed even in the rain.

雨は自然のことだから仕方なかったけど、キャンセル料がかかるからと無理に参加したけど後悔でした。
ガラスがくもってしまってバスの中からも景色も花も見えないし、寒いしで何一ついいことありませんでした。
はじめの集合場所だって係員が案内するまでお待ちくださいって書いてあったけど、時間すぎても係員はこないし、手際が悪い印象。
晴れの日と同じ料金を払っているので、雨の場合でも楽しめるプランを考えてほしいです。

Sitting in a bus seat while touring Tokyo is incredibly comfortable. However, taking pictures of cherry blossoms while wearing a seatbelt is quite challenging... The nearby cherry blossoms are blocked by the window frame, so you can only capture the distant ones within the frame. Therefore, I recommend enjoying the cherry blossoms from the window rather than focusing on photography. ♬

バスの座席に座ったまま東京巡りが出来るのは快適そのもの。
ただし、シートベルトをしたまま桜の写真を撮るのはなんとも難しい。。。
近くの桜は窓枠にさえぎられるため、遥かかなたの桜を窓枠におさめるしかない。
ということで、撮影より車窓からの桜を楽しむことをオススメします♬

The wind was a bit chilly, and we could hardly see any cherry blossoms, but it was enjoyable to tour around Tokyo from the roof of a double-decker bus, which is not something you can do very often.

少し風は冷たく桜はほとんど見る事はできませんでしたが、2階建てバスの屋根からなかなか見ることのできない東京都内を周遊できて楽しかったです。

I wanted to get off the open bus quickly because it was raining and cold. The VIP waiting room was hard to find and far away. It wasn't enjoyable at all, not even a little. What a shame. 😢

桜に早く、オープンバスで雨、寒く
早く下車したかった。
VIp待合室は分かりづらく遠い
1ミリも楽しくなかった。残念😢

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。

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。

It was drizzling, but we were able to enjoy ourselves without getting wet. When we entered and exited the water, it was thrilling, and the kids were excited about an experience they rarely get to have.

小雨の中でしたが濡れることもなく楽しめました。水に入る時、上がる時は迫力があり子どもも滅多にできない体験に興奮していました。

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。

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。

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。
