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

A Pleasant Ride

Reviewed by: E. Moor

Nice intro to the city, all for a very reasonable price. Seats were comfy and the sights were a delight. Barely used the audio guide, though.

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

Awesome Night!

Reviewed by: Anna

The tour is perfect for first-time Tokyo visitors. The bus took us around the must-see sights such as the Tokyo Tower, Rainbow Bridge, Odaiba Marine Park, Tokyo's version of the Statue of Liberty and the Kabuki-za Theater (I can't remember the rest!). There was an audio guide that translated the commentaries, which was helpful, but after a while I took it off and just kind of figured it out. We went for the night tour in May and it was still pretty chilly, so be sure to bring a jacket!

Good price/quality, although the audio can be a bit funny at times (some of the descriptions had us in fits, because they were unintentionally hilarious). Tokyo Tower's lights came on right as we passed by, which was really pretty

Brisk tour of Tokyo!

Reviewed by: Jas

It was nice seeing some of the highlights of Tokyo in a quick time. The audio guide had pretty strange facts that I didn't know about Tokyo too. But after a while, I just decided to ignore the audio and just enjoy the view.
Even in May after the sun went down it was rather cold!

Had a great time

Reviewed by: Cali

The tour was really nice and I got to see a lot of Tokyo that I might not have gone to otherwise. I was able to do all three route in one day, but that was with only getting off at two stops for an hour each. So you might only be able to do two of the routes if you want to get off at more places. I did notice a slight problem with the recorded tour cutting off and skipping to the next section if we were going to fast, but it didn't happen too often. Would definitely recommend if you want a quick overview of the area to see where it is you want to explore more later.

Not as good as I'd hoped

Reviewed by: dbuley

All 3 trips are worthwhile and there's adequate English translation. However I found the time between pickups too long. It meant that if you got off at a couple of things you struggled to complete the loop. They need a few more buses to make the average waiting time 30 minutes, not 60 or 90 minutes.

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

Good value for money as one can visit Tokyo in a day

Reviewed by: Lydia Teo

After reading many reviews some positive and negative, we decided to try this Hop on Hop off bus ride. We (group of 10) started late due to our distance from Tokyo Station. As we got off the station we asked around to finally get to Mitsubishi building which one cannot miss its signage. It was freezing cold that day on 25th and we did our first ride through the first to last stop on the blue line. It was interesting as we listened to the introductions of the places we passed by through the ear recorder in the language we preferred. Personally, I felt I gained more knowledge as the voice introduced the places we passed through in the comfort of the open decker bus. We then took the purple line to Ginza /Tsukiji. By the time we reached Tsukiji, some shops started closing at 1.30pm. It is best to go early in the morning . We were left with not much time to visit Asakuse instead we took the last bus to go round to view the Tokyo Rainbow bridge in the night. It was a different sight when viewed in the night with all the llightings. I am very sure when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom next week, it is a good idea to take this hop-on hop-off bus as we passed the cherry trees which was budding then.

We are going to recommend our friends who will be visiting Tokyo to try out this bus as it is money well spent to enjoy the whole of Tokyo in a day.

Tokyo Blue and Purple bus route

Reviewed by: Chris

Overall, I am happy we took your bus tour. We learned much about Tokyo and its history. However, when we got off for a cup of coffee on the Purple line we discovered that the next bus wouldn't be there for over 3 hours. Had to take a cab to get back to the hotel for our dinner reservation. Also, the taped message on the Blue line was not synchronized correctly and was off by several minutes. It was very difficult to place the narrative with the correct scenery.

Great start

Reviewed by: Richard.

This was our first time visiting Japan and this was a good way to start our vacation We boarded the sky bus at 3pm and found places we wanted to go back and explore the following day. The audio recording was helpful in giving suggestions of what is available to explore at each stop. The stop was easy to find when wanting to hop back on the bus.
We enjoyed the sky bus tour and the tickets worth worth the price. The entire family found it worth the price, even the teenagers. The tour was fun for the entire family. :) We will return to Japan to do more exploring.
Thank you sky bus team!! Especially the bus driver!!

Great way to get a feel for the city

Reviewed by: Bella

This is a great way to get an overview of Tokyo and have the ability to get off and explore. We did two of the three lines and felt we had a better layout of Tokyo.
My teenagers even enjoyed it after hours of teasing me prior to arriving for our first ride. The hop on/hop off ability was very nice and the recommendations of why to get off and explore from the audio were helpful. . The stops were easy to find when you wanted to get onto the bus.
It is worth the price and we will ride the sky bus again when we are back in Tokyo. Thanks sky bus for showing us around Tokyo and areas to explore.

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

Good tour experience

Reviewed by: May chan

This is the first time we visited Tokyo with young children, we chose hop on hop off bus to get an overview of Tokyo. It's very easy for us to find their ticket office in Mitsubishi building, there are plenty of restaurants inside the building thus you can grab someting before boarding the bus. Bus arrival is super on time, clean and spacious. The route design also allow us to view most of the attractive places, bus attendants are helpful and polite.

There are three routes per day for travelers to choose, we managed to go blue & purple line within 24hours, I would strongly advise a well time planning is essential for you to finish all routes.

The disadvantage of the bus route is the bus didn't stop in front of the tourist places, e.g. Sensoji temple (Asakusa line) & Tsukiji fish market. There are about 10min walking distance, as I said, this is our first time in Tokyo, I need to remember where the bus stop is, so that I can find it after visiting the tourist places.

Besides, this is good to have Multilingual Audio Guide in English, Chinese, Korean and Japanese. However, the audio guide will suddenly switch to next introduction before ending the current one. I think this need improvement so that complete information is provided as described

My foreign friends were also happy! 外国の友達も喜んでくれました!

Reviewed by: らんな

I booked this tour hoping my foreign friends would enjoy it. We visited two courses: Asakusa and Odaiba, but the Odaiba course was particularly well-received. The first stop was next to Tokyo Tower. The beautifully lit Tokyo Tower was breathtaking and even for someone living in Japan, it was moving. Since we were on a bus with a transparent upper deck, I was able to take photos of Tokyo Tower from a close-up angle, looking up at it. Additionally, we were lucky enough to see fireworks near the Rainbow Bridge. I wish we could have extended our trip to Roppongi, but there were few buses, so we had to give up. I think the illuminations in Roppongi are beautiful this time of year, so I hope the bus frequency increases a bit. Another issue was that, despite it being Saturday, the service was running on a weekday schedule. According to the staff, they had started running the same schedule all day for a while now. I found out about this on the morning of the tour and had to change my plans, so I felt it would have been helpful if this information was available on the website.

外国人の友達が喜んでくれるといいなと思い、このツアーを予約しました。浅草コースとお台場コースの2つを巡りましたが、特に好評だったのはお台場コースです。まず初めの停留所は東京タワー横。綺麗にライトアップされた東京タワーは圧巻で、日本に住んでいる私にとっても感動的でした。乗車していたのが上がスケルトンになっているタイプのバスだったこともあり、接近して見上げるような角度で東京タワーの写真を撮ることができました。また、偶然にもレインボーブリッジの脇に花火を見ることができ、ラッキーな思いもできました。六本木まで足を伸ばせたら良かったのですが、バスの本数が少なく、断念しました。六本木のライトアップも綺麗な時期だと思うので、もう少し本数が増えれば良いのになぁと思います。また、最も困った点は、土曜日だったにもかかわらず平日ダイヤで運行していたことです。担当の方いはく、少し前から終日同じダイヤで走るようになったとのこと。当日の朝そのことを知り、予定を変えなくてはいけなくなったので、HPの方にも情報が載っていると良かったなと感じました。

Hop on hop off of Tokyo city

Reviewed by: Dorothy

Bus drivers very helpful, staff generally very kind and helpful. The two routes we took encompassed quite a great deal of the city. We preferred the route that took in the Rainbow bridge. We had a job finding the office to collect our ticket after getting our online voucher, but a kindly bus driver took us to the office and dropped us off. Once there we were able to get our tickets and were off. The bus is hop on hop off but limited in time, so we were only able to do the two routes in one day as there was a gap over lunch time, which is why we found a little restaurant near the office to while away the time until the afternoon bus. They are not as frequent as we have found in other cities, but on the whole worthwhile for the money.

Reviewed by: Kerry

The bus ride is fine for a speedy trip through parts of Tokyo. We had good weather, but I would not do this in the rain. The guide was a bit out of sync at some points and cut the commentary short when you went past locations at higher speeds. It was a good intro to Tokyo, but I am not sure I would recommend it for the price.

Tokyo sky bus

Reviewed by: Diana

Enjoyed our time on the hop on, hop off bus. The first loop we did was Asakusa course and got off and on the busses at different stops. We were able to see some major sights and the time in between the bus returns was reasonable with about an hour time frame. We then did the Odaiba Course and only got off at a one stop since the time frame was over an hour for the next bus and it was getting late. We enjoyed having the transportation around Tokyo since it was our first time there and it helped us determine what sites we would like to return to the next few days using the subways. I would highly recommend this tour for first time guests in Tokyo.

Hop on and Off in Tokyo

Reviewed by: MN&LG

What a great way to tour and navigate around the tourist spots of Tokyo. The open top makes for good views of the city and landscape. We took full advantage of the 1 day pass, hopping off at different points in the city. We started Friday afternoon until Saturday afternoon. Our favorite stop was Asakusa Kanakawado the closest stop to the Senso-ji Temple. We ended up there both days to see even more sites. The wait time between buses was enough to explore and hop back on. Three routes cover a vast area and you probably need more than a day pass. This is a great way to maximize your time in Toyko, you don’t have to figure out a complicated metro map or wonder when you get out of the metro station which direction your destination is in. The audio guide was informative and staff member was available to answer your questions. For those who like the double-decker bus experience, you won't be disappointed.

Awesome way to see Tokyo in a short space of time.

Reviewed by: Ismail

The ticket we bought was valid for 24 hours so we used it for 2 days. We started at 4 in the afternoon and continued on until the next day. The service was very efficient. I missed the bus in just a matter of 30 seconds as it drove right past me. I was not prepared to run after it. It was no big deal as I caught the next one since I was in no rush. I had a schedule with me so I was able to get a nice cup of coffee and shopped for a bit and made sure I was there at least 10 minutes before schedule! You need to plan your route and sight seeing carefully.

I went on 2 routes. The Tokyo Sky Tree and the Odaiba route. Both had their own charms. Would recommend the Odaiba route after sunset and the Sky tree route during the day. The Odaiba route was very scenic at night because of the rainbow bridge , Tokyo Tower and the skyline was just breath taking. Hopped off at the Tokyo Sky Tree the next day. Went up the tower for the amazing view. I was there pretty early I suppose hence the queue was not bad at all. The stop was pretty close by and if you could not find your way back to the bus stop, just ask people around you. Everyone was extremely helpful. Japanese would go out of their way to show you where the bus stop is. They would physically bring you there. You just tell them it’s the sky hop on hop off bus and they will bring you there.

If you are tight for time, and want to see as much of Tokyo as you can in that short period of time, this would be your best shot. I had a great time. My time in Tokyo was limited so I was glad I got on this tour bus.

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

A convenient way to see Tokyo in 24 hours with kids in tow.

Reviewed by: Anita

The one we got on was an open top. Super punctual. The bus would be comfortable on a good day since there are no seats available downstairs. Therefore there’s limited space when it rains. Only 4 seats in the front row is covered while the rest is open hence the chances of getting those 4 seats? Very very very slim. And those who gets the seats in front would not hop off the bus. Our experience was 2 teenagers hogged all 4 front row seats to themselves.
Apart from the rain, it would have been a wonderful experience. You get to see so many interesting sites which we would not have seen by metro underground such as the Tokyo tower, the rainbow bridge, and the sky tree. This would have been the perfect tour on a lovely sunny weather. We sat towards the front of the bus… so we were sheltered from the strong winds, not the rain. I could not imagine sitting in the back in the wet, cold and with the freezing wind blowing. I glad we got shielded from the wind at least. However we saw some Japanese school kids at the back having an awesome time with the strong wind blowing in their faces, taking selfies, laughing and having so much fun.
The bus was not full perhaps because of the weather. We had 3 children under 5 in which we bought tickets for them too because if you do not, they would have to be seated on your lap. However if you have hyper active children… perhaps being on your lap could be a safer choice. Our kids enjoyed the ride and the view. When they are tired, they could just sleep comfortably leaning on you without falling over as the bus ride was very smooth! The driver was excellent. Even my daughter who is prone to motion sickness felt super.
Overall, it was a good experience. The commentary played correctly, at the correct venue and it was pretty informative. The adults appreciated the commentary while the kids enjoyed the view.

However, you need to dress warmly because it gets cold with the wind rushing by.

Great Tour....

Reviewed by: Wilton

We had a great experience with Veltra... we bought the ticket and was very easy to find the location to exchange the tickets. The tour was awesome, always on time, clean bus with pleasant people and good information about the city. We had a great time in Tokyo and we discovered many places in Tokyo that probably we wouldn't find without this tour. Our main highlight was the Skytree tower (the tower has 2 levels, we went to both, they charge each level separated, but was worth to visit both), Asakusa temple (we spent a lot of time there, beautiful location and lots of shopping), Tokyo Tower (also has 2 levels, we just visited one as the second level was closed due the winds), and many more. Highly recommended tour. We really enjoyed it.
