My first time in Osaka.

The guide's explanation was very interesting. I heard that the pineapple candy is delicious, so I searched for a supermarket and finally found it. It had a nostalgic taste.ガイドさんの説明が大変面白かった。
パイナップル飴が美味しいと聞いて、スーパーマーケットを探してやっと見つけました。
懐かしい味がしました。

It was unfortunately rainy, but the roof on the second floor was closed, allowing us to comfortably participate in the tour! It was a bus tour where we listened to explanations and took photos. It was very enjoyable! ✩生憎の雨でしたが、2階の屋根が閉められており、快適にツアーに参加することが出来ました!!
説明を聞きながら写真を撮りながらのバスツアー。とても楽しかったです✩

No one showed up at the check-in time, and it was the worst.

No one showed up at the check-in time of 3:30 PM, and the bus finally arrived just three minutes before 3:40 PM. During that time, I was exposed to the cold wind and felt very cold. If you can't stick to the check-in time, it's unacceptable. Before discussing the details of the tour, I had an unpleasant experience right from the start.15時30分のチェックイン時刻に誰も現れず、15時４０分の3分前にやっとバスが現れて、そこでチェクインできましたが、その間寒風にさらされて大変寒い思いをしました。
チェックイン時刻を守れないのでは話になりません。ツアーの内容がどうのこうのという前に最初から嫌な思いをしました。

Cancellation is not possible at all.

残念です
I was looking forward to the day, but due to poor health, I called the Kintetsu Bus Center to cancel, but they wouldn't accept it, saying, "You can only cancel through VELTRA online." I researched several times, but in the end, I couldn't figure it out, and time passed. The website says to contact Kintetsu, but they didn't listen to that, and I was left feeling uncomfortable. I'm very disappointed.当日楽しみにしていたのですが、体調不良で、キャンセルの電話を近鉄バスセンターに入れましたが、受け付けていただけず、「VELTRAはインターネットでしかキャンセルできません」とのことで、何度か調べたのですが、結局わからないまま、時間が来てしまいました。
HPでは、近鉄に連絡とありますが、そういうことは聞いていただけず、不快な思いをするばかりでした。大変残念です。

I thought we would stop at the landmarks and have a guide, but we only viewed everything from the car window. I would have liked at least a brief stop to take some photos. This kind of activity is unnecessary.名所で降りて案内してくれると思っていましたが、全て車窓から見るだけでした。せめて少し止まって写真など撮る事もして欲しい。こんなアクティビティは必要ありません。

I read online that seat reservations were not possible, so I went early and waited, but you had already assigned seats. I was not satisfied with the way the guide explained this situation. In the end, I spent time in the assigned seat, but it felt pointless to have chosen the double-decker bus.座席指定できないとwebにあったので仕方なく早めに行って待ったのに、そちらでしっかり座席指定されていた。その際のガイドの説明の仕方が納得出来なかった。結局指定された席で過ごしたが、2回建バスを選択した意味がない。

The Chinese audio was full of mistakes!!! I was disappointed! The seating was also unfair!

The Chinese audio is full of mistakes!!! What the guide is saying is completely different. Can you make an effort to ensure consistency? Customers are paying properly! I was disappointed.
Also, although it was written online that seats could not be specified, when I got on the bus, the seats had already been assigned to someone else. Japanese people were assigned seats at the front, while foreigners were assigned seats at the back! It's unfair. It has nothing to do with the order of arrival!

I absolutely do not recommend this to foreigners!!!!
I will never use it again! 中国語の音声は間違いだらけ！！！ガイドさん話している意味と全然違います。一致するよう、努力してくれるか？お客さんはちゃんとお金を払っているのに！がっかりしました。
また、ネット上で座席が指定できないと書いてのに、バスに乗った時、座席がすでに誰かに指定されました。日本人が先の座席で、外国人は後ろに指定されました！不公平です。到着順番となんの関係もありません！
外国人に、ぜったいおすすめしない！！！！
二度と使わない！

I took the double-decker open-top sightseeing bus in Osaka, visiting many famous spots! I rode the Namba South route!

汗が止まらんさん
I noticed a mist coming from the front of the bus, but the water in the mist smelled bad, making me wonder what kind of water they were using. That was my first impression. After that, it got extremely hot, and while I was sweating profusely, we went around the sightseeing spots, but due to the traffic, we quickly passed by them, and I couldn't see the attractions well. I raised my hand to get off at Abeno Harukas as instructed, but I wasn't let off and had to go to the final stop.

I raised my hand to get off at Abeno Harukas as instructed, but I wasn't let off and had to go to the final stop. This significantly disrupted my sightseeing plans, which was very disappointing. I also couldn't hear the bus guide's announcements well. I was just enduring the heat while being shaken around on the bus. That's the impression I had. I found and booked this through a guidebook, but I never want to ride it again. It's really unfortunate. バスの前方からミスとが出ましたが、ミストの水が臭くてどんな水を使用してるのかな?、これが第一印象。その後もの凄く暑くて汗がしたたり落ちながら、名所を廻りますが、道路の混み具合で観光スポットがあっという間に過ぎて行き、観光スポットがよく見られませんでした。あべのハルカスで降車可能とのことで手を挙げてとのことで、手を挙げましたが、下ろしてもらえず終点までいかざるおえませんでした。なので観光予定が大幅にくるってしまいました。とても残念です。バスのガイドアナウンスもよく聞こえませんでした。暑いなかじっと… バスの前方からミスとが出ましたが、ミストの水が臭くてどんな水を使用してるのかな?、これが第一印象。その後もの凄く暑くて汗がしたたり落ちながら、名所を廻りますが、道路の混み具合で観光スポットがあっという間に過ぎて行き、観光スポットがよく見られませんでした。あべのハルカスで降車可能とのことで手を挙げてとのことで、手を挙げましたが、下ろしてもらえず終点までいかざるおえませんでした。なので観光予定が大幅にくるってしまいました。とても残念です。バスのガイドアナウンスもよく聞こえませんでした。暑いなかじっと耐えながらバスに揺られていた。こんな印象です。ガイドブックで見つけて予約しましたが、もう2度と乗りたくありません。残念です。

I couldn't cancel.

がっかり
On the day of my arrival, I started feeling unwell, and since it was two hours prior, I tried to cancel, but I couldn't do it at all. When I called Kintetsu, they told me to contact VELTRA. However, when I called VELTRA, I was directed to an automated voice response that instructed me to log into my account and proceed with the cancellation there. Even after logging in, I could only access the reservation page and couldn't cancel. In the end, I gave up.

Isn't there a better way to handle this?当日、現地に到着したのですが体調が悪くなり、２時間前でしたのでキャンセルしよとしたのですが全くできなかった、近鉄に電話してもベルトラさんに問い合わせてくださいと言われ、ベルトラさんに電話しても音声案内が流れてマイページから入ってキャンセルの手続きを取れとの答え、マイページに入っても予約のページに入るだけでキャンセルできなかった、結局諦めました。
もう少し対応の仕方があるんじゃしのでしょうか。

I was foolish to sign up for the open-deck bus during an incredibly hot summer. They provided us with cooling patches, but that wasn't nearly enough to cope with the heat, and I couldn't hear any of the sightseeing information. As a result, the bus was nearly empty. I think spring or autumn would be a better time to participate.とんでもなく暑い夏に、オープンデッキバスに申し込んだ私がバカでした。冷えピタを支給されましたが、そんなもんじゃ足りない位暑くて観光の案内なんて全く耳には入ってきませんでしたね。だからバスもガラガラでした。参加するなら春か秋が良いかと思います。

Under the blazing summer sun, I boarded the bus, excited to see what it would be like. The guide mentioned that we should wear our seatbelts, but the guide themselves did not wear one. As the bus departed, I was looking forward to the excitement, but the guide's explanations were just too ordinary. After listening to everything, it ended up being quite normal. It all comes down to the guide's sense of engagement. I was hoping for something thrilling, but it was a letdown. It was boring.真夏の日差しが照りつけるなか
どんな感じかなと楽しみにバスにのりました。
ガイドの方が説明事項で
シートベルト着用してくださいと言われているが
当の本人は着用せず。
バスが出発して
どんなワクワクが楽しめるるかなと期待したが
ガイドさんの内容は
至って普通すぎて、説明を一通り聞いて
普通に終わった。
すべてガイドさんのセンスの問題。
引きつかせるようなワクワクを期待したが
期待ハズレ。つまらなかった。

I couldn't find the boarding location, so I couldn't make it on time and missed the ride. There were no signs or guidance, and I didn't have a contact number, so I gave up.乗車場所がわからず、時間に間に合わず、乗れなかった。

Due to the rain, there was a lack of openness and a sense of specialness, making it feel like I was just riding a city loop bus. I wished I could have heard more fun stories and episodes.雨のせいもあって開放感がなく、特別感もなく、市内循環のバスに乗っている感じ。もっと楽しい話やエピソードが聞きたかった

I thought I could see Osaka Castle from the second floor of the bus, but I only got to see it a few times, mostly when we were between buildings or crossing intersections. Since the street trees hadn't shed their leaves, there were hardly any photo opportunities.大阪城をバスの二階から見学出来ると思って乗車しましたが見れたのは数回でビルの間や交差点を横切る瞬間などと、街路樹が落葉してないのでシャッターチャンスはほとんどなかった。

A course that goes from Umeda to Abeno Harukas and then returns to Umeda.

The course returns to Umeda, but I believe it would be much more worthwhile to set it up so that passengers can get off at Abeno Harukas for sightseeing, which would also be appreciated as part of the bus company's programming.梅田へUターンするコースですが、あべのハルカスで下車して観光できるように、セットした方が断然、見応えもあり、バス会社のプログラミングとして評価されると考える。
