It was a fantastic tour filled with highlights and attractions!

It was a very satisfying tour where I enjoyed sightseeing spots and delicious lunch at a great value! Trying to do all these activities on my own would be difficult, but the bus efficiently took us around to various places, allowing for a fulfilling day. The bus guide's humorous stories were enjoyable, and since the basic setup was an earphone guide, I could relax and take my time freely. This time, the lavender was just starting to bloom, but I was able to fully enjoy the fragrance and scenery.… It was a very satisfying tour where I enjoyed sightseeing spots and delicious lunch at a great value!

これだけの工程を自分で行こうと思うと難しいですが、バスに乗って効率よく色々回ってくれるので、充実した1日を過ごせました。
バスガイドさんのユーモアあるお話も楽しく、他にも基本はイヤフォンガイドのため、自由にのんびりと過ごせました。
今回ラベンダーは咲き始めの時期でしたが、香りや景色など充分楽しめました。美瑛の丘も紅葉の時期など、また違う時期にリピートしたいです!

The weather was favorable, and we were able to sightsee efficiently. The lunch was very delicious, and we also enjoyed a light snack at Farm Tomita. The flowers at Shikisai no Oka became a wonderful memory.お天気にも恵まれ、効率的に観光できました。昼食もとてもおいしかったですし、ファーム富田で軽食も楽しめました。四季彩の丘のお花が大変いい思い出になりました。

Since we departed at a reasonable time of 9 AM, we were able to enjoy a proper breakfast at the hotel. The bus guide and driver were very polite and left a good impression. The lunch, including the hamburger and cheese fondue, was delicious, and I enjoyed the factory-exclusive wine (at an additional cost) with my preferred flavor.

In Furano, the early-blooming lavender was beautiful, and the blue pond was lovely as well. I thought it might be a bit early for the Shikisai no Oka (Colorful Hill) given the season. Overall, I had a great time and was glad to participate.
9時出発という無理のない時間帯なので、ホテルでの朝食もしっかりとれました。
バスのガイドさん、運転手さん、とても丁寧で好感が持てました。
ランチのハンバーグ、チーズフォンデュも美味しい、工場限定ワイン(別料金)は好きな風味。ただ、レストランのお席、2人並び席で4人テーブルを知らない方と向き合うのは気まずい感じでした。
富良野では早咲きのラベンダーがきれいでした。青い池も素敵でした。四季彩の丘は、季節的にちょっと早いかな‥と思います。
総じて楽しかったし、参加してよかったです。

This time, I took a day trip tour departing from Sapporo Station. The course efficiently covered sightseeing spots in Furano and Biei in central Hokkaido, with a departure around 9 AM and arrival around 7 PM.

Lunch at Furano Wine House met my expectations, with a delightful mini cheese fondue that paired perfectly with the factory-limited white wine, and the hamburger was delicious, leaving me very satisfied. Since I participated in early June, it was a bit too early for the lavender at Farm Tomita and Shikisai no Oka, so there were fewer types of flowers, which was a bit disappointing. I joined the tour alone, but I was able to chat with the people sitting next to me on the bus, and overall, it was a very satisfying tour.

I have visited Furano many times, but this is my first time visiting during this season. As expected, the lavender season was over, but I was able to enjoy plenty of other colorful flowers. The lunch was delicious, and I also took a tour of the Blue Pond... I was able to enjoy sightseeing in Furano efficiently. I highly recommend it.富良野には何度も訪れたことがありますが、この時期に訪れるのは初めて。さすがにラベンダーの季節は終わっていましたが、その他彩り鮮やかな花々で充分楽しめました。
ランチも美味しかったし、青い池まで巡ったり...効率的に富良野観光を楽しむことができました。オススメです。

I participated alone. I was a bit anxious, but I didn't have to share a seat on the bus, and during meals, they arranged for solo participants to sit with other solo participants. Farm Tomita and Shikisai no Oka had truly beautiful flowers, and the cheese fondue for lunch was exquisite.

It was also great that I could choose from several drop-off locations on the way back. 1人参加しました。不安でしたが、バス席は相席せずでしたし、食事の時は1人参加の人は他の1人参加の方と相席になるようにしてくださいました。ファーム富田や、四季彩の丘は、本当に花が綺麗でしたし、お昼のチーズフォンデュは絶品でした。移動時間が結構長かったですが、イヤホンで案内を聞かせてくださったり、ガイドさんのお話も楽しかったので、大満足でした。帰りの降車も何箇所か選べてとても良かったです。

I participated alone. As the guide mentioned, the flowers and greenery were withered due to the season, and while the scenery had autumn leaves, I thought it would have been even better to visit during a more favorable season. However, the guide's stories were quite delightful, and the way he spoke was slow, polite, and easy to understand. I had a very enjoyable time participating. I also thought it was quite rare to cover 350 km in a day alone in Hokkaido. It was truly wonderful. Thank you very… I participated alone.

ガイドさんもおっしゃっていましたが、時期的に花も緑も枯れて景色は紅葉はしていたもののきっと季節のよい時にくればもっと良かったのだと思いましたけど・・・・ガイドさんのお話もなかなか乙で、お話の仕方もゆっくりと丁寧で聞き取りやすかったです。とても楽しく参加させて頂きました。
走行距離も350kmと1日で1人で北海道をこれだけ回れることはなかなかないと思いました。
大変に良かったです。
ありがとうございました。

The Blue Pond looked beautiful and blue, even though the weather wasn't very good. The lunch was delicious and satisfying. I really enjoyed experiencing the nature of Hokkaido!青い池は、天気はあまり良くなかったけど、青くてキレイに見えました。

I was able to visit all the scheduled spots on time. This course, which allows you to fully experience the charm of Furano and Biei in just one day, is highly recommended for anyone traveling to Hokkaido. The autumn leaves were beautiful everywhere I went, and I was very satisfied. Both the guide and the driver were very kind and drove safely.予定の行程を、時間通りに全て回ることができました。
富良野•美瑛の魅力を余す所なく1日で見られるこのコースは、北海道旅行の時に、是非オススメです。
どこへ行っても、紅葉が綺麗で大満足でした。
ガイドさんも運転手さんも、とても親切で安全運転で行ってこれました。

We were able to enjoy a course that we wouldn't have been able to visit on our own in just one day. The autumn leaves were stunning. The driver and guide were very kind, which we appreciated. I would like to use this sightseeing bus again when I visit Hokkaido.なかなか、自分たちではいけないコースを1日で楽しむことができました。紅葉🍁が見事でした。ドライバー、ガイドの方もとても親切でありがたかったです。また、北海道を訪れる際にはこの観光バスを利用したいとおもいます。
