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。
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.
