I came to Sapporo for sightseeing with my colleagues from work, but everyone ended up doing different activities like watching a baseball game or visiting hot spring facilities in the city. I really wanted to go to Lake Toya, so I joined this tour by myself.
There were over 40 participants, and half of them were foreigners. I thought it was impressive that the guide was alternating between Japanese and Chinese.
When I actually went to Lake Toya, I realized that not only is the beauty of Lake Toya remarkable, but the majestic view of Mount Yotei, which can be seen from anywhere in the area, was also very impressive. I could truly feel that Mount Yotei is part of the landscape in the hearts of the people living in this region.
会社の同僚と札幌に観光に来ましたが、他のものは野球観戦だったり市内の温泉施設にとバラバラで行動することに。自分はどうしても洞爺湖に行きたかったので一人でこのツアーに参加しました。
40人以上の参加者がいましたが半分は外国の方で、ガイドさんも日本語中国語と交互にガイドされていてすごいなと思います。
実際に洞爺湖に行って気づきましたが、洞爺湖そのものの美しさもさることながら、この地域一帯どこからでも見ることができる雄々しい羊蹄山の景観が大変印象的でした。この地に住む人々の心象風景に必ずあの羊蹄山があるのだなと実感することができました。

Hokkaido is vast, making transportation challenging, but this tour was efficient and I was very satisfied. Especially the "Toyohira Gorge Onsen," which is difficult to access, had wonderful water quality! The bathing facilities were also reassuring. I was pleased with the amount of sightseeing time in Otaru as well. I was nervous that the tour might be canceled due to insufficient participants, but I am grateful that it went ahead.
北海道は広く移動に困りますが、こちらのツアーは効率よく廻れて大満足。
特にアクセス難しい「豊平峡温泉」泉質が素晴らしい!温浴施設も安心でした。小樽での観光時間も程良く廻れて満足です。
人数が足らずキャンセルになるかとドキドキでしたが、決行して頂き感謝です。

I had heard that the average temperature in early April would be around 12 to 13℃, so I brought a 100% wool sweater and a leather jacket. However, on the day of the tour, the weather exceeded 20℃.
Although the tour was conducted with the minimum number of participants, we were able to remember each other's faces and take photos together, which made it a warm and enjoyable experience.
At Toyohira Gorge Onsen, we relaxed in the open-air bath while enjoying the snowy landscape with just a few people.
Since it was an off-season tour, I had various concerns, but I encountered warm weather and friendly fellow travelers, making it an unforgettable and wonderful bus tour of a lifetime.
平均気温12〜13℃と聞いていた4月上旬のバスツアーだったため、ウール100%のセーターと革のジャケットを持参していたが、ツアー当日は20℃を超える陽気となった。
最少人員でのツアー催行であったが、お互いの顔を覚え、写真を取り合うことも出来て、こちらも温かさを感じるツアーであった。
豊平峡温泉では雪の残る風景を眺めながら、露天風呂を最少の人数でゆったりと満喫できた。
オフシーズンでのツアーであったため色々心配していたが、暖かい気候と温かいツアー客に出会え、生涯忘れられぬほどの最幸のバスツアーとなった。

I participated in the same tour two years ago. Last time, I couldn't see much of the scenery due to rain and wind. This time, there was fog and haze at Cape Earth, but at Lake Toya, it was clear, and I could see the beautifully snow-covered Mount Yotei. Last time, Lake Shikotsu was completely dark, but this time I was able to see the large lake, which was satisfying. I think it's great for those without a rental car since it allows for efficient travel.
2年前に同じツアーに参加しました。前回は雨や風でほとんど景色もみえず。
今回は地球岬では霧や霞もありましたが洞爺湖では晴れて雪の被った羊蹄山も綺麗にみえました。前回は真っ暗な支笏湖でしたが大きな湖を見ることができ満足です。効率よくまわれるのでレンタカーがない人にはとても良いと思います。

I had a great time. At first, I was a bit anxious because there were many tourists from China, but the guide's support was generous and kind, including explanations about the trip and guidance for lunch. When we gathered, I was a little worried because it seemed like the same place as other tours, but as long as I followed the guide and the flow of people, it was fine!

Honestly, I didn't have high expectations, but I had a great time.
This time, I traveled to Hokkaido with my sister. I really wanted to go to the Blue Pond, but there were only tours that included the zoo, so we participated in this one instead. The time spent at each stop was okay, but I was disappointed that we didn't have time to eat ice cream at Lake Shikotsu.
正直、あまり期待していなかったけど、とても楽しかったです。

I participated in April.
We traveled from Noboribetsu to Muroran, then to Lake Toya and Lake Shikotsu before returning to Sapporo.
Later, I found out that it was about 380 kilometers. I don't think I could have managed it on my own with a rental car.
The guide was very pleasant and made eye contact with each of us while guiding, which gave me a sense of reassurance.
I hope the following information will be helpful for those who will participate in the future.
- There is no restroom on the bus.
All the stops have restrooms, but there can be long intervals of about an hour and a half, so if you need to use the restroom frequently, I recommend managing your fluid intake.
- There are no power outlets or USB ports.
We left at 8 AM and didn't return until 6 PM, so a mobile battery is essential.
- Paid option for the bear ranch.
The bear ranch is combined with Showa Shinzan, but it lasts less than 40 minutes, so personally, I think it wasn't necessary. However, it's recommended for those who want to see Hokkaido's brown bears up close.
Also, the space between the seats was narrower than I expected, and the person in front of me immediately reclined their seat fully, so my knees were constantly hitting the seat in front. I think this is partly a matter of luck, but the cramped seating was tough during the long journey.
However, considering the price, I was able to visit so many tourist spots, so in the end, I was very satisfied! When I come back to Hokkaido, I plan to request another course from this company.
4月に参加しました。
登別〜室蘭〜洞爺湖〜支笏湖を周って札幌に帰ってきます。
後で調べたら約380キロほどありました。レンタカーではとても自力では回れなかったと思います。
ガイドさんもたいへん感じがよく、ひとりひとりアイコンタクトを取りながらご案内してくださったので安心感がありました。
以下の情報はこれから参加される方に幾らか参考になればと思います。
・車内にトイレがありません。
各下車スポットには全てトイレがあるのですが、間隔が長いところで1時間半ほどありますので、トイレが近い方は水分調整をおすすめします。
・コンセントやUSBポートはありません
朝8時に出て夕方6時まで帰ってきませんので、モバイルバッテリーは必須です。
・熊牧場の有料オプション
昭和新山とセットになっている熊牧場ですが、合わせて40分もありませんので個人的にはなくても良かったかなと思います。北海道のヒグマを間近でみたい方にはおすすめです。
あとはシートの間隔が思ったよりも狭く、しかも前の座席の人がすぐにフルで倒してきたためヒザが常に前席に当たっている状態でした。こればかりは運もあるかと思いますが、移動が長いため座席の狭さは身体に応えました。
ですがこのお値段でこれだけの観光地を回れましたから、最終的には大満足です!また北海道に来た際はこちらの会社の別コースもお願いしようと思います。

I was disappointed that I couldn't get on the bus I wanted because I didn't have much knowledge and made a reservation. I reserved a designated seat and went to the bus center to confirm, only to find out that this reservation was only for a bus with unreserved seats. I had to wait in line for 30 minutes to board. As an elderly person, I thought I had secured a designated seat, so I was quite disheartened.

I absolutely do not recommend using this tour company.
I have used various travel companies and sites before, but this was the worst experience.
Despite making a reservation for a single passenger one month before the departure date, I was assigned a seat on the day of the tour that was an unfavorable aisle seat where I couldn't see the scenery out of the window.
Other seats on the bus were available for single passengers without anyone sitting next to them, so I was really frustrated and upset.
As a result, I could hardly see the scenery that the guide was explaining, ruining the value of the trip.
A well-organized travel tour would consider changing seats during the itinerary to avoid any advantages or disadvantages, but there was none of that here.
If I had known I would get such a seat from the seating chart at the time of booking, I wouldn't have made the reservation. Moreover, this tour was already overpriced, lacking meals, activities, or souvenirs, and I was completely dissatisfied to be charged the same price as everyone else for such a seat.
To make matters worse, I had to sit next to an unfamiliar elderly woman of the opposite sex in a cramped seat, who repeatedly dozed off and leaned on me during the journey, which was infuriating.
The final straw was the female guide.
She talked incessantly, and it seemed like she wanted to show off her proficiency in Chinese. She would take about two minutes to explain something in Japanese, then spend three times as long repeating it in a high-pitched voice in Chinese, which was utterly exhausting.
Even during the time outside of guiding, she chatted in Chinese with inbound Chinese tourists on the bus, making me want to tell her to be quiet!
In addition to Chinese, she also repeated similar guidance in broken English for inbound guests, making me wonder if this was even a domestic tour in Japan.
If this is the kind of tour guide they have, I would prefer to have her assigned to a bus exclusively for inbound passengers.
It was so noisy that it doubled my fatigue.
I will never use a tour company that lacks such consideration again!
ここのツアーは絶対利用しない方がいいです。
今までいろんな旅行会社、サイトのツアーを利用しましたが最低でした。
一名利用の予約を出発日の1ヶ月前にしたにも関わらず、当日のガイドから割り振られた座席が、車窓の景色が見えない不利な通路側。
バス内他の座席では隣席に人のない一名利用をさせていたので納得いかず本当に頭にきました。
おかげでガイドの案内する車窓の景色は殆ど見えず、旅の値打ちは台無し。
気の利いた旅行ツアーなら席を旅程中に入替え、有利不利などないように配慮しますがここはまるで無し。
こんな席だと予約時の座席表で分かれば予約などしませんでしたし、只でさえ食事もアクティビティも土産も何もつかない割高のツアーなのに、こんな席で全員同一の料金をとられたことに全く納得がいきません。
挙げ句に、狭い座席なのに隣席が見知らぬ年配女性と異性で、道中、居眠りを繰り返し何度も当方にもたれかかってくる始末で、怒鳴りたくなるほどでした。
極めつけは、添乗員の女性ガイドです。
とにかくよく喋ることこの上なく、しかも自らが中国語を堪能なことひけらかしたいのか、日本語で2分ほど話した内容を中国語でその3倍ほども時間をかけて延々と中国後で甲高くまくし立てて話すのにはほとほとうんざり。
ガイド案内以外の時間も、バス内のインバウンド中国人と中国語でお喋りする始末で、少しは黙ってろよ!と言いたくなりました。
中国語以外にも、カタコトの拙い英語でインバウンド客に同様のガイドを繰返すため、ここは日本の国内ツアーではないのか?と首をかしげたくなりました。
こういう添乗員ならば、いっそ、インバウンド乗客だけを乗せたバスに配置してもらいたい。
うるさすぎて疲れも倍加しました。
こんな配慮のかけらもないツアー会社は二度と利用などしません!

The destination was nice, but the road and facility guidance were a bit lacking, which caused me to get lost. At Jozankei Onsen, it was indicated that I could use the hot springs, but in reality, I had to walk quite a distance from where the taxi dropped me off, and I couldn't enjoy the hot springs. The driver said it would take about 5 minutes on foot, but it actually took around 15 minutes. It was cold in the snow. I think it's necessary to consider some improvements for staying at Jozankei Onsen during that time of year.
訪問先は良かったのに、道路案内、施設案内が少しお粗末で道に迷ったりしました。
定山渓温泉で、温泉入湯可能と記されていたのに、実際タクシーを下された場所からかなり歩かなければならず、入湯はかないませんでした。ドライバーさんは、歩いて片道5分と言ってたのに、実際は15分くらいかかりました。雪の中寒かったです。定山渓温泉の滞在時の工夫をあの時期は考える必要があると思います。

The tour guide was lovely. She didn’t speak much English but she had a book of phrases she needed to tell us written out so we knew what was going on. The bus ride had an English audio guide which was generally interesting. The train was beautiful, and the scenery was amazing. The boat trip was unfortunately cancelled due to the heavy rain the day before, so we had a long coach journey instead. The bamboo forest was incredible but very busy so if you want quiet maybe go by yourself instead of on a tour. we had three hours at Arashyama which was actually perfect, if we’d had a boat trip too it would have only been an hour which would have been too short!

A canoe trip on Lake Shikotsu is a must when visiting Hokkaido! I decided to join for my last memory here. Since it was March, I thought I had missed the best season for fresh greenery, but the clear kayak allowed me to see the riverbed well, and I was able to encounter fish and kingfishers. It was thrilling! I was told that usually, the fish would escape and be hard to see, but in winter, their movements are slow, so it was great to see them clearly. The weather was nice, making Lake Shikotsu, the mountains, and the Chitose River beautifully green. I took some photos myself, but the instructor took so many beautiful shots that I didn't even need to. My favorite photos are the posed ones and the underwater videos. The instructor was cheerful and engaging, making for a very fulfilling and enjoyable morning. Thank you so much!

I'm glad I could visit various places. It felt more like quickly going to different spots rather than leisurely sightseeing. I went in late March, so it was particularly cold around the lake. I think it's best to be well-prepared for the cold.

Kayaking on Lake Shikotsu while encountering wildlife was amazing! I was worried about the cold, but the gear included in the tour price (a dry suit with integrated shoes, a knit hat, gloves, and a snood) was very warm, and wearing Heattech, a long-sleeve T-shirt, and sweatpants was sufficient.
Since we didn't rent a car and used public transportation, we arrived early, but it seemed that the nearby restaurants generally didn't open until around 11 AM. When we went to the tour office, even though it was before opening time, they kindly provided us with information, and we ended up finding one restaurant that was open, which was a great help.
Our guides, Yama and Ai, were friendly and didn't overwhelm us with information, providing just the right amount. I feel like there are surprisingly few guides who engage in proper dialogue, but Yama and Ai had a great balance and shared a lot about the national park, making it very enjoyable.
The staff at the tour office were also very welcoming, and they gave us great recommendations for cafes to visit after the tour. I regret that I couldn't properly express my gratitude as the bus to the cafe arrived quickly and we were in a bit of a rush.
I had a wonderful experience and made great memories. Thank you!

Unfortunately, at the end at Lake Shikotsu, two inbound guests did not return to the bus by the departure time. The guide made several trips back and forth between Lake Shikotsu and the bus, desperately searching for them, but ultimately, we couldn't make contact until the tour ended, leaving a somewhat unsatisfactory feeling about the tour. I hope the two of them are safe. Thank you to our guide, Onodera, and our driver, Hinata, for a fun tour.
とにかくガイドさんが、素晴らしかった。日本語と中国語を巧みに使い分け、日本人も、インバウンドも退屈させないよう聞いていて感心しました。情報も沢山お持ちで、北海道は初めてではありませんでしたが、知らなかったこともいろいろ教えてもらい、有意義な一日になりました。残念だったのは、最後の支笏湖で、インバウンドの2名様が、出発時間になってもバスに戻ってこなかったこと。ガイドさんは何度も支笏湖とバスを往復し、必死に探していましたが、結局ツアー終了まで、連絡が取れず、なんとなく後味のすっきりしないツアーになってしまいました。お二人がご無事であったことを祈念しています。ガイドの小野寺さん、ドライバーの日向さん、楽しいツアーありがとうございました。

First of all, even at the meeting time, neither the bus nor the tour guide arrived. I was worried along with a Japanese man who happened to be waiting with me, and when we contacted the company, there was no response. After waiting for a while, a Chinese man approached us, confirmed our names, and without any explanation, guided us to get on the Hiace. In silence, we picked up four more people at another meeting point and departed. The atmosphere inside the vehicle was heavy and silent. Unable to hold back, I asked the driver, who said he didn't understand Japanese well. At Jozankei Onsen, we were dropped off without any proper explanation, and I had no choice but to go to a nearby hotel to get a map. I at least wanted to know the location of the tourist information center. Overall, this cannot be called a day trip bus tour. While it was understandable that we ended up in a Hiace due to the small number of participants, I thought they should at least provide a guide who understands Japanese. In Otaru, there was no recommendation for shops or any guidance at all; we were just told where to meet and got off at a different location. The good thing about bus tours is that the guides show you famous places and introduce places to eat, allowing you to enjoy sightseeing even in unfamiliar areas. I regret participating in this tour, which is hard to call a bus tour. I believe it is standard to arrive before the meeting time and provide proper explanations, but opinions may vary, so this is just my personal impression.
まず、集合時間になってもバスも添乗員も来ない。たまたま一緒に待っていた日本人男性と、どうしたんだろうと心配し、会社に連絡しても、応答なし。しばらく待っていると、中国人男性が近づいてきて、私たちの名前を確認すると、何の説明もなく、ハイエースへ乗るよう誘導。無言のままもう一カ所の集合場所で、4人を乗せ出発。更に無言のまま車内は重苦しい雰囲気。我慢できずドライバーに聞いてみたら、日本語良くわからないとのこと。定山渓温泉では、まともな説明もなく車を下され、私は已む無く近くのホテルに地図をもらいに行きました。せめて観光案内所の場所位教えてほしかったです。一事が万事、どこをとっても日帰りバスツアーとは言えません。参加人数が少なく、ハイエースになったのはやむを得ないとしても、せめて、日本語の解かるガイドは付けてほしいと思いました。小樽でも、お勧めのお店とか、全く案内もなく、集合場所を指定され、別の所で下車しました。バスツアーの良いところは、ガイドさんが有名なところを案内したり、食事できるところを紹介したりして知らないところでも安心して観光出来るところではないでしょうか。今回のバスツアーとは言い難いツアーに参加し、後悔しかありません。集合時間前に来て、きちんと説明するのが当たり前だと思うのですが、意見には個人差がありますので、あくまで私個人の感想です。

It snowed in the morning and it was beautiful, but it was a bit disappointing that it was sunny in the afternoon. It’s pretty when it’s sunny too, but when the snow accumulates, it’s even more beautiful. The experience changes with the weather. I felt the time was short, but there are few buses available, so I recommend it for those without a car!
午前中に雪が降って綺麗だったんですが午後は晴れて少し残念でした。晴れた時も綺麗ですがやっぱり雪が積もるともっと綺麗。天気によって体感が変わる所。時間が短いと感じましたが利用できるバスが少ないので車が無い人はおすすめです!

I have been to Hokkaido more than ten times, but this was my first time participating in a day trip bus tour. I have been to Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya in the summer, but the winter scenery was breathtaking. The overall course setting was excellent, and both the driver and the guide were kind and attentive. The lunch was also great, and it was the best experience. I would love to participate again if I have the chance.
北海道には10回以上行っていますが、日帰りバスツアーに初めて参加しました。
支笏湖や洞爺湖は夏には行った事があるのですが、冬の景色は絶景でした。
全体的なコース設定も最高で、運転手さん、ガイドさんも親切丁寧で、昼食も良くて最高でした。
また機会があったら参加したいです。

As expected, the water quality is outstanding, the best in Japan. You can see the color of the water change in areas of different depths, and the differences came out beautifully in the photos. The instructor's explanations were easy to understand, and I was able to paddle right away. It was fun. After the experience, my first-grade child was begging, "I want to come again tomorrow!"
さすが水質抜群日本一です。深さの異なるところで水の色が変わるのが分かり、写真にも違いがきれいに映りました。インストラクターの方の説明も分かりやすく、すぐにパドル操作できるようになりました。楽しかったです。体験後、小学1年生の子が「明日も来る!」とねだっていました!
Thank you for visiting us. We're glad to hear that your child enjoyed it as well. Shikotsuko and Chitose River are places you can enjoy throughout the year. We hope you'll come back to visit us again. All of our staff are looking forward to seeing you.

I had a wonderful time enjoying the unusually warm weather for Hokkaido.
I was impressed by the clear waters of Lake Shikotsu and excited by the encounter with a herd of fawns, which allowed me to feel the richness of Hokkaido's nature.
Also, at Showa Shinzan and the Usuzan Ropeway, I lost track of time while exploring and unfortunately couldn't make it to the bear ranch.
The "mushroom soup" from the Mushroom Kingdom that the guide recommended was truly delicious, and the lunch was also very satisfying with its generous portions.
Thank you for a fun day!
北海道らしくない暖かさと天候にも恵まれて、とても楽しく過ごせました
支笏湖の透き通った水面に感激し、子鹿の群れとの遭遇に興奮して、北海道の自然の豊かさを感じることができました
また、一度行ってみたかった昭和新山と有珠山ロープウェイでは、あちこちを散策していたら時間が足りなくなり、熊牧場に行くことができず残念でした
ガイドさんに教えていただいた、きのこ王国の「きのこ汁」は本当に美味しかったですし、昼食もボリュームがあり大満足です
楽しい一日をありがとうございました
