The buses condition is great and clean. The tour is precise in timing however the schedule is not that frequent (one hour plus). This is open top seating bus only and it gets pretty cold during the winter when the bus moves quickly. The coverage of the tour is great however the initial boarding/getting the pass is only in couple places, cant be done on every stop. The tour guides are nice and helpful, it is no hassle on bringing infant and stroller. The pass is Valid for 24 hours from the initial pass exchange, So you can continue using it the next day when you start late on the day. The tour is running until pretty late too. Good price for money. Recommended.

今回の利用は2回目で、前回利用した時は1ルートだけ観光目的で利用しました。その際は観光名所を効率良くまわれて、かなり充実しました。
今回は複数のショッピングモールで買い物が目的だったため、前回と同様にお台場コースを利用してお台場と豊洲で買い物をしました。このバスはショッピングモールの前にバス停があるため買い物にもとても便利です!
前回と大きく違ったのは、レインボーブリッジを高速道路で通ったため、景色が良かったのと、少し風が冷たかったですが、気持ち良かったです。
バスの利用者は、外国の方が大半と地方から来たと思われる日本人の方が利用されていました。
利用者のほとんどが、観光名所を通ると楽しそうに写真撮影したり、会話がかなり盛り上げっていました。
今後、地元の友人や家族が東京に来た際は、また利用します。
その際は、浅草やスカイツリールートや六本木ルートも回ってみたいと思います。

You want fast and furious? Take this tour. You won't be disappointed! Quick pace was good for us but probably not for others. We covered some many destinations and interests. Tour guide was knowledgeable and fatherly. Felt like a older relative of mine was taking us on the tour!!

We really enjoy the Hop On Hop Off bus tour of Toyko. The best part was the checkin. It was easy and the attendant gave us the tickets within 2 minutes. While on the bus, the best part is the top deck. We had great weather 2 weeks ago so this was an extra plus. The top deck also lets you take great pictures so we were excited being on top. We were given earphones which we had forgotten so this was just incredible service. The stops are great. They were easy to find and maps were easy to read. The schedules were also easy to read and we were able to plan accordingly. All in all, we had a great time, used the bus to see everything, and also get around town conveniently.

I am very experienced with hop-on, hop-off tours, having taken them in North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
The English language recording broke after the first stop. I don't think we missed much, as the recording mostly just explained some facts about the highway when it was working.
The Ueno and Akihabara stops are inconveniently located as they drop you several blocks from the main attractions (this might be true for all tour buses stopping at these locations).
There are three separate bus tour routes and they really should be combined into 1-2 routes. The buses go four to five stops on a given line, then the bus doubles back.

We recently had the chance to stop by in Tokyo on our recent trip to Asia.We were really tight on schedule provided we had 21 hours layover.But then we were suggested by our Hilton Tokyo concierge to take advantage of this fantastic skybus hop on and hop off service.
There are 3 courses you can opt for all in one ticket for nearly 22 USD/person which gives you excellent value for money as taxi travel in Tokyo is VERY expensive and it is very very organised and operates in very timely fashion along with very detailed history of all the important buildings and monuments we passed by.
We took all three courses starting with Odaiba course and followed by Roppongi-Tokyo course.You can hop on and hop off as many times as you like.One of the best thing is you can hop on to next course bus at same Marunouchi Mitsubishi building so as soon as you end up with one course, you can hop on to next course bus within 10~15 mins and it gives you just enough time to use restrooms and buy something from the shops close by.The buses were WIFI equipped, neat and clean with comfortable seating.We travelled with a toddler and we had enough legroom to give him some space to flex his muscles :).Most importantly, the buses have glass roof so if you can look through them or take pictures if you aren't able to see through windows.
If you are taking train to reach Mitsubishi building, drop off at Tokyo station and you are just 2~3 minutes walk away.You can also grab a bite from Manhattan grill which is pretty close to Mitsubishi building.Without skybus tours we would not have been able to see so much of Tokyo in short span of time.

We enjoyed walking around the various restauarants while our guide Silvia gave us a brief history about Japanese cuisine & traditions. I just wish we had more time to try other restaurants. We were a group of 10 & some arrived a bit late so we had to rush but good thing we arrived at the restaurants on time. Silvia was a fantastic guide! We highly recommend her.

We are Canadians from Toronto and first time visitors to Japan. We had a total 1 week's time to visit 3 cities - Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto. We had planned to spend 3 days in Tokyo and wanted to cover the most tourist places. Japan has a very advanced and amazing railway system, especially in Tokyo with multiple local train lines meshing the city providing excellent connectivity. We decided to take a day pass on JR Rail and see the important places ourselves. We took 1-day pass and could see only 2-3 places and were tired by end of the day due to long walks. Then we found out on the net about Tokyo Hop-On Hop-off bus for 1 or 2 days. We took 1 day pass on the Hop-On Hop-off bus and were pleasantly surprised that we could cover most major visiting spots within a day. With guided tour and convenience of hop-on hop-off it was a lot more relaxing as there was minimum walking. There was flexibility to get on to the next bus at scheduled time plus we were able to see most of Tokyo by taking all 3 Hop-On Hop-off bus lines. Staff was very courteous and helpful. It was raining for some part of the day and we were provided raincoats. We enjoyed the Hop-On Hop-off bus and we will recommend other friends to take this tour for quick tour of Tokyo.

I strongly recommend using Hop-On Hop-Off buses as it is really a great deal. We have seen several places in Tokyo beforehand. However, by using these special buses we have a general sense of view of the Tokyo. My suggestion to the tourists is to have a plan to use the 2 days trip. By paying a quite reasonable price than 1 day you are able to have a trip over the whole thee lines including Green, Purple and also Blue. Be aware the buses for all three routes are red and you should ask the staff which one is which otherwise you need to wait for at least 1 hour for the next bus. you should take the time table and try to choose the lines in a way that you are able to minimum the waiting time in between. On the first day you can sit on the bust and having a look around if there is any places you would like to stop by you should make a note for yourself including which line it is and what station it is then on the next day you can just stop on the favorite places you have chosen. As a last point you are better off getting off the Tokyo station as it is pretty close to the Mitsubishi station compare to the other stations. Hope you all enjoy the trip!

Enmiko (Amy) was a great tour guide. It was just the two of us. We rode several Metro trains and walked through some beautiful gardens and through an older, residential section of Tokyo far from the tourist path, where the locals live, eat, and shop. That's my kind of tourism.

This was mostly a good experience. But there were some areas that needed improvement.
The audio was always "off." The announcements of the audio typically came after we had passed a location -- the audio was late or the driver was fast. In the beginning there was no info on the first 10 minutes of the trip at all. The ear plugs need to be up-graded. The style you have is very uncomfortable for some people, including me. Finally, the audio box for one of us (we were two travelers) was not working -- the volume could not go sufficiently high to hear.
There was an issue with whether the bus was stopping or not at the marked locations. For example, we would have wanted to get off at Asakusa to visit the market and the temple, but the bus did not stop there at all. The brochure indicated that the bus should have stopped there. But there was no announcement or offer to stop, and the bus did not stop. That was very disappointing to us.
We hope this info is useful and we appreciate the two-for-one offer in exchange for us providing this review. Please process the credit at your earliest convenience. Also, the ponchos were great and the woman at the Mitsubishi box office was super helpful.
Best
Sarah

Great 24 hour deal, routes are timed nicely so you can finish on, and join the next, good spread of sites and activities, staff very friendly and knowledgeable, buses in nice condition.
Good thing is that you get 24 hours from the time of your purchase / arrival to get your ticket, so if you show up at 2pm (like I did, because you had activities the night before that prevented an early start) then your 24 hours starts at 2pm and ends at 2pm the following day, nice idea :)
I would recommend the saving the bridge route until the evening (or just go through it again in the evening) as the lights on the bridges at night are awesome and well worth seeing!

ポイントの有効期限がギリギリだったのでポイント数と同じ値段のこのツアーを選びました。
息子も楽しみにしていたし一日フリーだったので3ルートすべて乗ろうかと気合を入れていましたが、さすがに途中で飽きてしまいました。ただ、今の季節は特に気持ちがいいと思います。信号や電車の見える位置がいつもと違うのも楽しいです。途中下車をしたり他のルートに乗り換えたりできるのも魅力的です。
2ルート、3台のバスに乗りました。女性のガイドが一人付きますが、ひとりマナーも悪くとても仕事中だとは思えない態度で大変不快な思いをしました。2階のガイドの席と運転手とは備え付けの電話で話せるようになっているようで、なにかを見つけてはキャーキャー騒ぎ、見たことや思ったことを頻繁に電話で報告していました。また運転手からもかなりの頻度で電話がかかってきました。運転中なのにやめて欲しいです。仲がいいのかもしれませんが、仕事中は慎むべきです。しかも外国のお客さんに勝手にアダ名をつけ茶化すようなことまで言っていました。私たちお客に聞こえるように言うことではありません。他のお客さんもあまりに非常識な態度や大きな声に白い目を向けていましたが全く気にすることなく何度も大声でペチャクチャ話し(話し方もとても大人の会話とは思えないような内容でした)不運なことに私たちはその女性のすぐ近くの席だったので本当に嫌な思いをしました。小さな息子もびっくりした顔をしていました。ほか2台のバスの女性の方はきちんとしたプロの対応をしていましたが、その一人のせいで印象がかなり悪くなり残念でした。名前も顔もよく覚えているのでご連絡いただければお知らせ致します。ぜひ改善していただきたいです。
