Chrismas大好き
The bus was smaller than I expected, and since it was full, I felt a bit cramped. However, everyone participating was punctual, so there was no stress from waiting.思っていたよりバスが小さく、満席だったので、少し窮屈さを感じました。参加の皆さんは、きちんと集合時間を守られる方々ばかりだったので、待つストレスはなかったです。

It was enjoyable because it was a bus tour, so there was no crowded trains or troublesome waiting times. I slept on the way back. The guide was a nice person. I felt like I wanted a bit more detailed explanations.バスツアーなので電車の混雑や面倒な待ち時間もなく楽でした。帰りは寝ていました。ガイドさんは感じのいい人でした。もう少し詳しい説明が聞きたかった感じは残りました。
