Tokyo Hop On Hop Off Bus Tickets (1day or 2days)

English language recording broke after the first stop.

Reviewed by: Meh

I am very experienced with hop-on, hop-off tours, having taken them in North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

The English language recording broke after the first stop. I don't think we missed much, as the recording mostly just explained some facts about the highway when it was working.

The Ueno and Akihabara stops are inconveniently located as they drop you several blocks from the main attractions (this might be true for all tour buses stopping at these locations).

There are three separate bus tour routes and they really should be combined into 1-2 routes. The buses go four to five stops on a given line, then the bus doubles back.

Tokyo Hop On Hop Off Bus Tickets (1day or 2days)

Best Tour around Tokyo - Incredible Value

Reviewed by: M Shoaib Sheikh

We recently had the chance to stop by in Tokyo on our recent trip to Asia.We were really tight on schedule provided we had 21 hours layover.But then we were suggested by our Hilton Tokyo concierge to take advantage of this fantastic skybus hop on and hop off service.

There are 3 courses you can opt for all in one ticket for nearly 22 USD/person which gives you excellent value for money as taxi travel in Tokyo is VERY expensive and it is very very organised and operates in very timely fashion along with very detailed history of all the important buildings and monuments we passed by.
We took all three courses starting with Odaiba course and followed by Roppongi-Tokyo course.You can hop on and hop off as many times as you like.One of the best thing is you can hop on to next course bus at same Marunouchi Mitsubishi building so as soon as you end up with one course, you can hop on to next course bus within 10~15 mins and it gives you just enough time to use restrooms and buy something from the shops close by.The buses were WIFI equipped, neat and clean with comfortable seating.We travelled with a toddler and we had enough legroom to give him some space to flex his muscles :).Most importantly, the buses have glass roof so if you can look through them or take pictures if you aren't able to see through windows.

If you are taking train to reach Mitsubishi building, drop off at Tokyo station and you are just 2~3 minutes walk away.You can also grab a bite from Manhattan grill which is pretty close to Mitsubishi building.Without skybus tours we would not have been able to see so much of Tokyo in short span of time.

Tokyo After Dark: Foodie Walking Tour to Discover Local Flavors

Reviewed by: Aleth

We enjoyed walking around the various restauarants while our guide Silvia gave us a brief history about Japanese cuisine & traditions. I just wish we had more time to try other restaurants. We were a group of 10 & some arrived a bit late so we had to rush but good thing we arrived at the restaurants on time. Silvia was a fantastic guide! We highly recommend her.

Tokyo Hop-On Hop-Off Bus

Reviewed by: Nanik Lakhani

We are Canadians from Toronto and first time visitors to Japan. We had a total 1 week's time to visit 3 cities - Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto. We had planned to spend 3 days in Tokyo and wanted to cover the most tourist places. Japan has a very advanced and amazing railway system, especially in Tokyo with multiple local train lines meshing the city providing excellent connectivity. We decided to take a day pass on JR Rail and see the important places ourselves. We took 1-day pass and could see only 2-3 places and were tired by end of the day due to long walks. Then we found out on the net about Tokyo Hop-On Hop-off bus for 1 or 2 days. We took 1 day pass on the Hop-On Hop-off bus and were pleasantly surprised that we could cover most major visiting spots within a day. With guided tour and convenience of hop-on hop-off it was a lot more relaxing as there was minimum walking. There was flexibility to get on to the next bus at scheduled time plus we were able to see most of Tokyo by taking all 3 Hop-On Hop-off bus lines. Staff was very courteous and helpful. It was raining for some part of the day and we were provided raincoats. We enjoyed the Hop-On Hop-off bus and we will recommend other friends to take this tour for quick tour of Tokyo.

Tokyo Hop On Hop Off Bus Tickets (1day or 2days)

Great deal

Reviewed by: Reza

I strongly recommend using Hop-On Hop-Off buses as it is really a great deal. We have seen several places in Tokyo beforehand. However, by using these special buses we have a general sense of view of the Tokyo. My suggestion to the tourists is to have a plan to use the 2 days trip. By paying a quite reasonable price than 1 day you are able to have a trip over the whole thee lines including Green, Purple and also Blue. Be aware the buses for all three routes are red and you should ask the staff which one is which otherwise you need to wait for at least 1 hour for the next bus. you should take the time table and try to choose the lines in a way that you are able to minimum the waiting time in between. On the first day you can sit on the bust and having a look around if there is any places you would like to stop by you should make a note for yourself including which line it is and what station it is then on the next day you can just stop on the favorite places you have chosen. As a last point you are better off getting off the Tokyo station as it is pretty close to the Mitsubishi station compare to the other stations. Hope you all enjoy the trip!

Great one on one experience

Reviewed by: Ed Lavin

Enmiko (Amy) was a great tour guide. It was just the two of us. We rode several Metro trains and walked through some beautiful gardens and through an older, residential section of Tokyo far from the tourist path, where the locals live, eat, and shop. That's my kind of tourism.

Tokyo Hop On Hop Off Bus Tickets (1day or 2days)

Fun but mixed

Reviewed by: Sarah Perl

This was mostly a good experience. But there were some areas that needed improvement.

The audio was always "off." The announcements of the audio typically came after we had passed a location -- the audio was late or the driver was fast. In the beginning there was no info on the first 10 minutes of the trip at all. The ear plugs need to be up-graded. The style you have is very uncomfortable for some people, including me. Finally, the audio box for one of us (we were two travelers) was not working -- the volume could not go sufficiently high to hear.

There was an issue with whether the bus was stopping or not at the marked locations. For example, we would have wanted to get off at Asakusa to visit the market and the temple, but the bus did not stop there at all. The brochure indicated that the bus should have stopped there. But there was no announcement or offer to stop, and the bus did not stop. That was very disappointing to us.

We hope this info is useful and we appreciate the two-for-one offer in exchange for us providing this review. Please process the credit at your earliest convenience. Also, the ponchos were great and the woman at the Mitsubishi box office was super helpful.

Sky hop Tokyo, hop on hop off

Reviewed by: Spargo-san

Great 24 hour deal, routes are timed nicely so you can finish on, and join the next, good spread of sites and activities, staff very friendly and knowledgeable, buses in nice condition.

Good thing is that you get 24 hours from the time of your purchase / arrival to get your ticket, so if you show up at 2pm (like I did, because you had activities the night before that prevented an early start) then your 24 hours starts at 2pm and ends at 2pm the following day, nice idea :)

I would recommend the saving the bridge route until the evening (or just go through it again in the evening) as the lights on the bridges at night are awesome and well worth seeing!

Reviewed by: あっ君ママ♪

It was my daughter's first time in Tokyo as a sixth grader, so we decided to visit various well-known places that we had heard about! Although it was a bit hectic, we were able to cover all three courses in one full day, and we were very satisfied. As mentioned in the experiences, most of the guests were from abroad, which was nice as well. We had a bit of trouble figuring out the Asakusa station after taking the train from Skytree to Asakusa, but that's also a memorable experience! Thank you very much! (^^)!

小６の娘にとって、初めての東京だったので、広く浅～く聞いたことのあるいろんな場所に行って見よう！ということで利用させていただきました！
ちょっとバタバタはしましたが、丸１日、３コースすべてを回ることができて大満足です。
体験談にあったように、ほとんどが外国からのお客さんだったのですが、それもまたよし。
途中スカイツリー→浅草を電車で移動したため、浅草の停留所がなかなかわからず大変でしたが、それもまた思い出です！
ありがとうございました!(^^)!

I had a great time. 楽しめました

Reviewed by: kmomo

I rode an open-top bus for the first time. It was refreshing and interesting to view the places I usually walk by from a higher perspective, almost like a tourist. It might be unavoidable since it's an earphone guide, but it was a bit disappointing that the explanation would abruptly cut off when the area changed. They were explaining things I surprisingly didn't know, so I was left wanting to hear more. I felt it was a great deal since I was able to conquer three routes in one day.

初めてオープントップバスに乗りました。
普段は歩いて通っているところを、高い目線で観光っぽく眺めるのが新鮮で面白かったです。
イヤホンガイドなので仕方ないのかもしれませんが、説明の途中なのにエリアが変わるとブツッと切れてしまうのがちょっと残念でした…。意外と知らないことを説明してくれていたので、続きが気になってしまって。
一日で3ルート制覇できたのでとってもお得に感じました。

Just the two of us with my 4-year-old son. ４歳の息子と二人で。

Reviewed by: モタコ

I chose this tour because the points I had were about to expire, and it was the same price as the number of points. My son was looking forward to it, and since we had a free day, I was determined to ride all three routes, but I ended up getting bored along the way. However, I think this season is particularly pleasant. It's fun to see the traffic lights and trains from a different perspective. The ability to get off at various stops and switch to other routes is also appealing.

I rode two routes on three buses. There was a female guide, but one person had very poor manners and behaved in a way that was quite unprofessional, which was very unpleasant. It seemed that the guide on the second floor could communicate with the driver via a built-in phone, and she would frequently scream and report things she saw or thought over the phone. The driver also received calls quite often. I wish they would stop during the drive. They might be friendly, but they should be more reserved while working. Moreover, she even gave nicknames to foreign guests and made jokes, which should not be said in front of us customers. Other guests were also looking at her with disapproval due to her inconsiderate behavior and loud voice, but she continued to talk loudly without caring, and the content of her conversation was not what one would expect from an adult. Unfortunately, we were seated very close to her, and it was truly unpleasant. My young son also looked surprised. The other two buses had female staff who were professional, but the impression was significantly tarnished because of that one person, which is disappointing. I remember her name and face well, so if you would like, I can provide that information. I hope this can be improved.

ポイントの有効期限がギリギリだったのでポイント数と同じ値段のこのツアーを選びました。
息子も楽しみにしていたし一日フリーだったので３ルートすべて乗ろうかと気合を入れていましたが、さすがに途中で飽きてしまいました。ただ、今の季節は特に気持ちがいいと思います。信号や電車の見える位置がいつもと違うのも楽しいです。途中下車をしたり他のルートに乗り換えたりできるのも魅力的です。
２ルート、３台のバスに乗りました。女性のガイドが一人付きますが、ひとりマナーも悪くとても仕事中だとは思えない態度で大変不快な思いをしました。２階のガイドの席と運転手とは備え付けの電話で話せるようになっているようで、なにかを見つけてはキャーキャー騒ぎ、見たことや思ったことを頻繁に電話で報告していました。また運転手からもかなりの頻度で電話がかかってきました。運転中なのにやめて欲しいです。仲がいいのかもしれませんが、仕事中は慎むべきです。しかも外国のお客さんに勝手にアダ名をつけ茶化すようなことまで言っていました。私たちお客に聞こえるように言うことではありません。他のお客さんもあまりに非常識な態度や大きな声に白い目を向けていましたが全く気にすることなく何度も大声でペチャクチャ話し（話し方もとても大人の会話とは思えないような内容でした）不運なことに私たちはその女性のすぐ近くの席だったので本当に嫌な思いをしました。小さな息子もびっくりした顔をしていました。ほか２台のバスの女性の方はきちんとしたプロの対応をしていましたが、その一人のせいで印象がかなり悪くなり残念でした。名前も顔もよく覚えているのでご連絡いただければお知らせ致します。ぜひ改善していただきたいです。
