It was cold on the day of the tour, and there was a bit of wind, but the content of the tour was outstanding! Of course, I got to see the places I wanted, but the guide's explanations were surprisingly interesting and well done, which made the atmosphere on the bus lively. There were also useful trivia points throughout, making the bus drive feel like it went by in no time.
当日は寒くて少し風もありましたが、ツアーの内容は満点以上でした(^^)
見たかった場所は勿論ですが、ガイドのお姉さんの説明も想像以上に面白く上手でバス内も盛り上がりました。為になる雑学も要所要所にあり、あっという間のバスドライブでした。

I had a great experience before, so I participated with my brother's family as well. The freshness of being able to view various buildings and landscapes from the high position of the bus is truly wonderful. Since it was a nice spring season, we were able to see the cherry blossoms, which made it even more enjoyable. The guide's performance really enhances the tour. Everyone, both children and adults, gets very excited when passing under the bridge. I think it would be great if there were a tour that also includes Tokyo Tower and other places for about an additional 30 minutes.
前に利用して良かったので兄弟の家族も一緒に参加しました。
色んな建物や景色がバスの高い位置から眺められるという新鮮さは本当に良いです。
春の良い季節だったので桜も見れてより楽しめました。
ガイドさんの演出がよりツアーを盛り上げてくれます。橋の下をくぐる時は子供も大人も大興奮です。
プラス30分くらいで東京タワーや他の場所も一緒にまわれるツアーもあったらいいなと思います。

I only knew Harajuku for the gothic-lolita kawaii fashion so it was very interesting to see the back alleys and food places I normally don't see in guidebooks. We got to sample a lot of regional specialities and lots of desserts (my favorite!) Our friendly guide was super knowledgeable and was flexible to cater to our entire group. But be prepared to swim through the crowd and possibly wait on lines for some of the treats.

Our guide Asami did a great job taking us to places with great eats! She made sure to give us background info about the places we were visiting and even explained Japanese customs and table manners. She also accommodated personal requests (getting specific souvenirs, etc.) which made the tour feel more intimate.
I did expect this tour to feature more Instagrammable food, but it wasn't so much the case. Nonetheless, everything we ate was good. I especially loved the sesame ice cream!

We were disappointed with the tour. A long trip to a Park. A boat ride under a lot of bridges which was interrupted by the Guide wanting to know if we wanted the Bus back or would go our own way. Were told it might be 8pm before we got back. We hadn't been able to book into our Hotel before the tour and would need to find food etc so, 8pm was too late for us. We left the tour after the Boat trip and found your own way back by Train.
We found the tour guide very hard to understand and she talked non-stop about many uninteresting things or maybe we just couldn't understand her properly.
We would have like to see some points of interest like a Shrine or two, Tokyo Tower etc.
Sorry can't recommend this one.

Since I used it on a midsummer day, everything was hot when I got in, and it was difficult to fasten the seatbelt. However, once we got onto the public road, it was cool, and the guide provided enjoyable commentary, making the time fly by. If I had to wish for something, it would be that the time spent driving in the river was a bit short, so I would have liked a little more of that.
真夏日に利用したため、乗ったときはシート等全てが熱くて、シートベルトするのも大変でしたが、公道へ出ると涼しく、また、ガイドさんが楽しく解説付きでお話してくれるので、あっという間でした。

I participated with eight colleagues who came from overseas. Although I usually work in Tokyo, seeing the city from an open-top bus offered a fresh perspective. We were able to enjoy the Tokyo Tower's light-up right beneath it, and I was moved, thinking, "It was this beautiful!"
We traveled from the Shuto Expressway through the Rainbow Bridge to Odaiba. Experiencing the Shuto Expressway and Rainbow Bridge while feeling the wind was a valuable experience. During the one hour of free time, we took photos with the Statue of Liberty and the Rainbow Bridge, enjoyed ice cream, and took a group photo, though we felt a bit rushed for time.
I recommend this experience not only to tourists but also to those working in Tokyo.
海外から来ていた同僚と一緒に8人で参加しました。普段から東京で働いていますが、オープントップバスから見る東京の街は、目線が違うこともあり新鮮。ちょうど東京タワーのライトアップが始まる時間に真下で鑑賞。『こんなにキレイだったんだ!』と感動しました。
首都高からレインボーブリッジを通ってお台場へ。風を感じながらの首都高&レインボーブリッジも貴重な体験です。フリータイムの1時間は、自由の女神像とレインボーブリッジの写真を撮ったり、アイスを食べたり、全員でプルクラを撮ったりと、少し時間が足りなかったくらいでした。
観光客の人たちはもちろん、東京で働いている人にもオススメします。

Amphibious bus??? I made a reservation online with a sense of wonder. Throughout the journey, the tour guide diligently introduced the scenery, the history of the old streets, and the features of the shrines. Although the cold winter wind made me shiver a bit, the beautiful sights along the way made me temporarily forget the chill. If I have the chance, I would choose to take this ride again in the summer. The Arakawa River, the ducks in the water, and the thrill of splashing into the river—I believe it will be even more enjoyable in the summer. After a 15-minute break, I soaked my feet in a small shop and enjoyed a cup of coffee, feeling gentle and warm. On the way back, we passed through Kameido, and the tour guide provided detailed explanations. It was a delightful journey.

It was difficult to make a reservation in advance. I had heard that there were many foreigners.

Additionally, there were many foreigners on the vehicle, and the meeting place felt like it could have been at the Eiffel Tower in Paris due to the number of foreigners. On the day of the experience, the weather was also favorable, and I had a great time.

Since I live in Tokyo, I hadn't taken the Sky Bus Tokyo before. I thought it might be a bit embarrassing to run into friends while riding, especially since it passes by my alma mater. However, this time I decided to take the plunge and try it out! It was my first attempt. The bus looks cute, and you can enjoy a sense of openness and height to view Tokyo in a way you normally can't!
Once I got on, I was surprised. The staff were very friendly, and they provided detailed explanations. I felt embarrassed for not knowing much despite being a local. They shared various trivia, like how the traffic lights are about the size of a volleyball. Places I usually see looked completely different from up there, and it was thrilling and exciting. I want to ride again on a different course next time! I also want to try the one for foreign tourists! I really, really recommend it! (For those living in Tokyo, definitely give it a try too!)
都内に住んでいるため、乗らなかったスカイバス東京。母校の前も通るし、乗っている時に友達に会ったらなんか恥ずかしいかなとか思ってたんです。。ですが、今回思い切って乗りました!!初挑戦。だって見た目がかわいいし、普段は経験できない開放感や高さから東京を眺められますからね! 乗ってみて、驚きました。スタッフのみなさん感じがいいし、説明もすごく詳しくしてくださるんです。江戸っ子のくせになんも知らなかった自分が恥ずかしくなりました。信号の大きさがバレーボールの玉ぐらいとかいろんなトリビアもたくさん紹介してくださいました。いつもみているはずの場所がぜんぜん違う街に見えて、どきどきわくわくしました。今度は違うコースでまた乗りたいです!!外国人旅行客用のも挑戦してみたいです!本当に本当におすすめです!(東京に住んでる人もぜひ!!)

The day I participated, it was quite windy, and there was a chance of rain, but I was relieved that it stayed cloudy during the ride. I imagined that if it rained, it would be like a regular bus, but there was an announcement saying, "We will lend you raincoats in case of rain," which made me realize that the charm of the open-top bus wouldn't be diminished even in the rain.
Once on the bus, my viewpoint was incredibly high, almost as if I could reach the traffic lights and street trees. It’s a very noticeable bus, so I felt a bit embarrassed before getting on, but in reality, since my perspective was different from the people walking on the street, I didn't mind at all. Near the National Diet Building, the bus guides leading school trips and shopkeepers along the road waved at us, which was heartwarming.
I often visit Omotesando and Shibuya, but the view from the top of the bus was completely different. Additionally, the guide provided detailed explanations, so I found myself saying "Wow, I didn't know that!" many times during the ride, and I was never bored! It seems there are courses that go to places like the Rainbow Bridge, so I would like to participate again next time with a different destination and time.
自分が参加した日は風が強く、雨の心配もあったのですが、乗車中はどうにか曇りのままでホッとしました。もし雨が降ったら、普通のバスみたいになるのかな?と想像していましたが、「雨が降った場合はレインコートを貸し出します」というアナウンスがあり、雨の場合もオープントップの魅力は損なわれないんだな~と感心しました。
バスに乗ると、目線がものすごく高くなり、信号機や街路樹に手が届きそうなくらいです。目立つバスなので、乗る前は少し恥ずかしいと思っていましたが、実際は街を歩く人たちと目線が違うので全く気になりませんでした。国会議事堂の近くで修学旅行生を引率しているバスガイドさんたちや、道路沿いのショップの方が手を振ったりしてくれて、そんなところにもほっこりしました。
表参道や渋谷はよく行く場所ではありますが、バスの上からでは全く景色が違います。加えて、ガイドさんが詳しい解説をしてくれるので、乗っている間「へぇ~そうなんだ~」と思うことが多く全く飽きませんでした!レインボーブリッジなどに行くコースもあるようなので、今度はまた行き先や時間を変えて参加してみたいと思います。

I finally rode the bright red double-decker bus that I've been curious about while walking around Ginza!
It's Japan's first open-top double-decker bus, the Sky Bus, on the Omotesando and Shibuya route.
I got to see the scenery that I usually pass by on foot or while riding the train from the height of the expressway and pedestrian bridges.
Fortunately, it was a sunny day, and I enjoyed the refreshing breeze while sightseeing from the bus, feeling like a foreign tourist.
Starting from Marunouchi, we passed by the red brick Tokyo Station, the Imperial Theatre, and around the Imperial Palace. We also saw the National Diet Building, the State Guest House, Gakushuin Primary School, and the Akasaka Palace, which I visited on a school trip.
We went by Sakurada Gate, Jingu Gaien, the Metropolitan Police Department, the Prime Minister's Official Residence, Toyokawa Inari, and Hie Shrine, which is the only shrine in Japan with an escalator. The reason why the windows of the Honda headquarters building are recessed is also interesting.
From the most famous scramble crossing in Japan to 109, Omotesando Hills, AO, the United Nations University, and the closed Children's Castle... even places I usually pass by revealed different discoveries when viewed from the Sky Bus.

The Omotesando and Shibuya course is more about seeing the people who live in present-day Tokyo than visiting famous landmarks and historical sites.
The starting point in front of the Mitsubishi Building is in Marunouchi, Tokyo's office district, where you can see people going about their work. The bus departs while heading towards Kasumigaseki, passing by Tokyo Station. Kasumigaseki is Japan's government district, where you can see the National Diet Building and various ministry buildings. Next to it is the Imperial Palace. As we head towards Omotesando, we can see the moat of the Imperial Palace. Omotesando and Aoyama are where Tokyo's fashionable people gather. By this time, the people passing by have changed from suits to stylish, trendy clothes. Since it's a bus without a ceiling, you can also smell delicious food in the air.
We pass through the Shibuya Scramble Crossing, where you can see Tokyoites skillfully navigating the streets. This is the turnaround point, and we head back to Tokyo Station. The rows of trees near the State Guest House and glimpses of Tokyo Tower between the buildings excite us passengers. The bus passes by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism building and returns to Marunouchi.
The small trip of about an hour and a half of Tokyo people-watching comes to an end.
表参道、渋谷コースは東京の名所、旧跡を訪ねと言うより、今の東京の住んでいる人々を見るコース。
出発点の三菱ビル前は東京のオフィス街、丸の内。働く人々が行きかうところが見る事が出来ます。バスは東京駅横に見ながら霞が関の方向に向かい出発していきます。霞が関は日本の官庁街、国会議事堂、各省庁の建物を見て進んで行きます。その横は皇居。皇居のお堀を見ながら、表参道方向へ。東京のおしゃれな人たちが集まる表参道、青山と進んで行きます。この頃になると通行する人達はスーツ姿からおしゃれな流行の洋服に変って行きます。天井のないバスなので、この当たりは美味しそうな匂いもしてきます。そして渋谷のスクランブル交差点を通り、東京の人が器用に右往左往に道路を渡る姿を目にする事が出来ます。ここから折り返し地点。また、東京駅へと戻ってきます。迎賓館の並木、ビルの隙間隙間から見る東京タワーが乗客の私たちをわくわくさせてくれます。バスは国交省のビルを横目に見て、丸の内に戻ってきます。
約1時間半の東京人ウオッチングの小旅行の旅が終わります。
