Tokyo
I participated on a clear day in January. I was worried it might be cold since it was an open-top bus, but it wasn't too bad. The best recommended course is the Odaiba course.
After looking up at Tokyo Tower from directly below, the open-top bus headed onto the highway. This was quite a rare experience. It was my first time seeing how large road signs and traffic lights are. Furthermore, it continued to the Rainbow Bridge, and with the good weather, I was able to enjoy views of both Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Skytree. Since it was a weekday, Odaiba had a rather quiet atmosphere, so we continued without getting off until Tsukiji. We got off at Tsukiji, had sushi for lunch, and then boarded the bus again from the same spot to return to the starting point in Marunouchi. Next, I took the Asakusa course heading towards Tokyo Skytree. I wanted to do some sightseeing at Skytree, so I got off the bus there, but it was a very enjoyable bus experience. If it's your first time in Tokyo, just riding this bus would be enough for sightseeing.
I think even people living in Tokyo would enjoy participating with friends or family on a nice day for a drive-like experience.
1月の快晴の日に参加しました。オープントップなので寒いかなと心配でしたがそれほどでもなかったです。一番のおすすめコースは、お台場コース。
東京タワーを真下から見上げた後、オープントップバスは高速道路へ。これはかなり貴重な体験です。道路標識や信号機はこんなに大きいのかと、初めての経験でした。さらに、レインボーブリッジへと続くのですがお天気もよく、東京タワーとスカイツリーの両方の景観が楽しめました。平日だったのでお台場はかなりおとなしい雰囲気でしたので、下車せずそのまま築地まで。築地で下車して、ランチにお寿司をいただき、その後、また同じところから乗車して丸の内のスタート地点へ。次に浅草コースに乗ってスカイツリーへ向かいました。スカイツリー観光をしたかったのでバスの乗車はここまででしたが、かなり楽しいバス体験でした。初めての東京ならこのバスに乗っているだけでも十分観光ができそうです。
東京に住んでいる人でも、お友達や家族と天気の良い日にドライブ気分で参加するのもいいと思います。
Really enjoyable tour and our guide was very funny, helpful, knowledgeable abd made the tour for us.
The tour was ideal, a good way to see Tokyo is just 4 hours.
Good weather and visibility is ideally needed though.
Great Tour, the tour guide was very informative as were the tour guide on the other 3 discovery tours that we did. Would recommend this tour.
This is a great tour which gives a good overview of the city. We particularly enjoyed the tea ceremony at the Japanese garden and the river cruise. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and provided us with a lot of valuable information about the sights that we were visiting and the city and the country generally. Overall, a very enjoyable and informative experience. Highly recommended.
Certainly the best thing to do at the start of a holiday in Tokyo. Shame that a couple of items were missed out of the program because our trip fell on a Friday, but the lunch made up for it, excellent lunch and well worth the cost.
Very good tour if you have a short time in Tokyo. The tea ceremony and the gardens were two of my favorite things.
At first they said its expensive to have this tour, but the experience and the convenience from transportation, tour guide, and the whole tour are all great. On my next visit i will surely be getting more tours and be able to enjoy JAPAN. Thank you that my wife and kids enjoy the rest of the tour.
The tour guide was excellant and the tour was just about the right lenght of time. It was enjoyable
This tour was the highlight of our time in Tokyo. Everything from the tour of the Imperial Palace Gardens to the fantastic boat ride on Tokyo Harbour. Lunch was lovely and our guide Mr Sato was just wonderful & very entertaining. He gets 6 Stars!
The city is beautiful and the tour was great. Let me express a very high level of greatitute to the tour guide, Mina. She made the tour interesting and fun to do. It was clear that she was interested in her assignment, had a very happy demeanor throughout the very hot day. It was very clear that she loved what she was doing. She was exceptional!
This tour is a great way to start a holiday in Tokyo!!!
It was a great day and offered such a variety of places to visit (not just temples and shrines). The venue for lunch was excellent.
Excellent guide woman, very kind and funny.
Great tour for a first trip to tokyo. You get to see a lot in one day.
Enjoyed the tour very much, tour guide was very informative and learnt a lot about Japan on the day trip.
The guide was very funny with his board and very conscencious,sorry pictures are taking only by my friend as I'd never travelled with camera !
It was an easy way to visit several sites within a limited time fr<x>ame. Our guide Junko was particularly helpful and friendly, she really added to the overall experience!
We totally enjoyed the tour, we did 3 different tours during our visit to Japan and this one was the best.
Our guide (Sato) was an excellent source of information and he made the time on the bus between sites interesting.
the tour was perfect. the only thing i was slightly disappointed in was that the cruise boat we went on had a roof and limited visibility. otherwise, everything was great!
Bit rushed but good overview for places to go explore later
We especially liked our guide!
We would have preferred Japanese food for lunch though.
Although we saw so much, it would be good to be able to spend a little more time at stops instead of just 40mins or so. Also, to offer drop off at hotels would be a added bonus. Our tour guide should be congratulated (My) on her excellant customer service skills and local knowledge. thank you
