Finding the Right Bus Tours in Tokyo

By now, you might be considering of booking a bus tour for your trip in Tokyo. It clearly saves you the trouble of navigating your way through Tokyo’s complex transport system.

 

The real question is,...

How do you find one?

 

If you want to join one, you can simply go to the company’s website and book a tour. Some of them also accept reservation by phone. Other companies also offer bus tours without reservation but it would be a gamble. I would not recommend not reserving a tour since you’d never know if it’s full or not.

 

Each company that offers city tour buses have a list of specific services that they provide in the tour. So, make sure that you have chosen the best bus tour itinerary that fits your taste before you book!

Costs of Bus Tours

Tokyo has several companies that provide sightseeing bus tours with a different range of prices. It all depends on the routes and services that you choose.

The tours cost ranged from as low as 3,500 - 20,000 yen. Some also provide optional lunch and wifi available in bus services. It also depends on how long does it takes to complete the tour. The shortest tour course takes around 4 hours, and full day tours take around 8 to 9 hours.

Where to find the perfect bus tours for you?

One thing you need to remember:

 

Booking a bus tour could be a gamble. You will never quite know if a tour is worth its price or not until you actually join it.

If you do decide to book a city tour bus tours, I would recommend booking from the GoWithGuide website. They offer a vast option of guided bus tours in Tokyo and other destinations too, with reasonable costs. It is all according to your needs and preferences.

I was born and grew up in Yokohama. I used to work in Tokyo for more than 20 years. I became the National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter in English in 2013. At first, I had attended a volunteer group which provided a tour of the Imperial Palace East Gardens until 2015. I guided more than fifty times in the garden as a volunteer and studied about Japanese history and culture. Based on this experience, I became a tour guide of this online site in 2015. Since then, I have guided more than 500 tours in Tokyo as well as Yokohama, Kamakura, Hakone, Kyoto, Nikko, etc., while improving my tours. My tours are very flexible and I always do my best to customize them according to the interests of my guests. I studied about the places and will provide you knowledge to appreciate them more deeply than just visiting there by yourself or a member of group tours. I like foods and I know many restaurants which provide typical Japanese lunch with reasonable price without waiting too long. Therefore, I am sure that I can provide you the best tours customized to your interests. It will be my great pleasure to help you to enjoy your stay in Japan. So please be my guest!!
