札幌発 支笏湖&洞爺湖 日帰りバスツアー 有珠山ロープウェイも乗車<昼食付きプランあり/1名から催行/札幌駅前発着>

I was able to get around efficiently. 効率よく回れました。

Reviewed by: JKさん

I think we were able to efficiently enjoy lunch, including the cable car fare, at a reasonable price. The guide was an audio guide, which also had options in languages other than Japanese. It was disappointing that the lunch, which should have been warm, was served cold, possibly to save time. I believe it would have been better if the bus stop times at each sightseeing location were a bit longer. It was helpful that they asked for our preferences regarding the drop-off location for the return bus.

昼食、ロープウェイの料金も込みで、リーズナブルに効率よく回れたと思います。
ガイドは音声ガイドで、日本語以外にも対応ありでした。
お昼ご飯は時間短縮の為か本来なら温かい食べ物が配膳済みで冷たかったのが残念でした。
各観光地のバス停車時間がもう少し長いとより良かったと思います。
帰りのバス下車場所は希望を聞いていただけるので助かりました。

Mt. Fuji Private 1-Day Tour with Sake Brewery & Japanse Whiskey Distillery Visit

Good times

Reviewed by: Adam s

The guide was fun and knowledgeable. The tour of the whiskey distillery and sake brewery was great. The sake brewery did not have an English translation but the guide translated for our group. We went to a great spot for lunch that was recommended by the guide. Amazing, I recommend the tour and especially if you need help with translation. Our driver was very friendly and accommodating interacted with the party. Highly recommend the tour.

Thank you very much for joining our tour. The restaurant we went used malted rice in their food, a result of the fermentation of Sake which is a portion of healthy food and gives tenderness to meat. It is called Kome Koji.
You can also find a naturally sweet rice drink (juice) called amazake known to have an anti-aging effect.
I hope the wine you bought at the supermarket was good also.
Thank you very much again.

It was cloudy, but 曇りだったけれど

Reviewed by: Mayu

It might be due to the influence of the Spring Festival, but the tourist spots were filled with foreigners. There was only one Japanese person on the bus. That said, there were no particular issues. Although it was cloudy, the view was still good! The scenery is definitely different between visiting in summer and when there is snow. Personally, I prefer the snowy landscape. As for the food, don't get your hopes up. It was just average. The chicken in the hot pot looked thick and delicious, but I didn't eat it because it wasn't cooked all the way through, and I was worried about food poisoning. What a shame.

A bus tour that allows you to visit the main tourist attractions in Hokkaido in one day. 一日で北海道のメイン観光地を回れるバスツアー

Reviewed by: ベイビーブルー

Upon departing from Sapporo Station Bus Center, we immediately encountered a major traffic jam, arriving at our first sightseeing spot, Lake Shikotsu, an hour later than scheduled. The bus was nearly full, with the second bus joining us later. The composition of passengers in the first bus seemed to be about 60 to 70 percent tourists from Asia. The bus guide's main job was coordinating the timing in Japanese and English, and the explanations were provided in four languages through headphones. The timely explanations made the experience enjoyable. The lunch at Lake Toya was surprisingly delicious, and we also enjoyed the extremely cold summit tour via the Usuzan Ropeway. Given that winter roads in Hokkaido are icy, it would have been impossible to follow this schedule with an unfamiliar rental car, so participating in the tour was a good decision. We arrived in Susukino a little after 7 PM, which was an hour later than planned, but it was within the expected range.

札幌駅バスセンターを出発するといきなりの大渋滞、予定時刻より1時間遅れで最初の観光地支笏湖へ到着。
乗客はほぼ満席で2号車も後から合流。

バスガイドは、日本語と英語で時間のコーディネートが主な仕事で、解説はイヤホンで4ヶ国語で対応していた。

洞爺湖の昼食も思った以上に美味しかったし、有珠山のロープウェイで極寒の頂上観光も楽しめた。

Reviewed by: オマメ

I took a two-night, three-day solo trip from Fukuoka. I wanted to explore various places in a limited time, but I couldn't drive, so I was worried about what to do until I found this plan! I was the only woman participating, but there were other solo travelers as well. The bus rides were comfortable, and I enjoyed the scenery or took the time to sleep during the journey. At the hotel, a table was prepared for me for lunch, allowing me to enjoy my meal without any hesitation.

The main focus of my trip to Hokkaido was to visit Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya, but it would have been difficult for me to do that alone due to the cold and the snow. We departed from Sapporo, but I learned that we could stop at Jozankei Onsen on the way back, so I stayed at a hotel in Jozankei. The driver and the guide provided subtle support, making for a very comfortable trip.

福岡からの二泊三日ひとり旅でした。限られた時間で色々周りたい、でも車の運転はできないし、どうしようと悩んでた所にこちらのプランを見つけました!
私は女性ひとりの参加でしたが、他にもお一人様がいらっしゃいました。バスでの移動は快適で、移動中は景色を楽しんだり、睡眠に当てたり。ホテルでの昼食は、ひとり用にテーブルが用意され、気兼ねなく食事を楽しむ事ができました。
私の北海道旅行のメインは支笏湖、洞爺湖を訪れる事でしたが、寒いし、雪の影響で1人では難しかったと思います。
出発は札幌でしたが、帰りは定山渓温泉で途中下車できるとわかり、定山渓のホテルに泊まりました。

It was a multilingual tour that was almost full, but there were only four Japanese participants. We joined as a pair, but everyone was quite quiet, and I didn't realize there were other Japanese participants until the end. There were unavoidable delays due to icy road conditions. It was disappointing that the lunch was cold, even the rice. I regretted skipping the hot spring because I was worried about getting cold, but it turned out to be a good decision. I ended up catching a fever after the trip due to fatigue from the cold.

Classic Kyoto Half Day Tour to Kinkakuji, Gingakuji, & Kiyomizudera

Crowds and delays

Reviewed by: Maile

The positives: bus transportation and pre-paid access into shrines and temples. The negatives: It was initially described as a Fall excursion but it was more like a highlights tour. They did not address any of the autumn trees or traditions for that time of year. Because of the Fall season is so popular, all of the places were very crowded, leading to a near race at each site just to get there and back in time for the bus. It also lead to a more than one hour delayed return, which, to be fair, they said might happen, but an update as the day progressed would have been better than announcing it at the tail end of a long day. We had plans to get back to JR station by a certain time so we had to depart the bus early and catch our own cab ride back which cost nearly $40.

great tourist guide!

Reviewed by: Diane Lorenzo

Our tour was perfect. it was more fun because of Saturo San and the driver(sorry i forgot the name, but he even gave us a parting gift which he drew himself) treated us not as guests but as friends. they made sure that we are comfortable and they are very knowledgable about the tour and about Japan. Saturo San made sure that he answered all our questions before the tour ends. the only thing is the time in Gotemba outlet, I didn't have enough time for shopping. but it was still ok! will highly recommend this to my family and friends.

it's really convenient and more fun if you have a tour guide and a private van especially when you're travelling with kids.

Classic Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya Tour! 定番の支笏湖洞爺湖ツアー!

Reviewed by: ふみこ

I participated on a Saturday in November, and there were even two buses. It seems to be a popular tour. There was no guide, just a tour conductor and an audio guide. The audio guide was available in four languages, and there were many foreign participants from Malaysia, Indonesia, Taiwan, and China.

The course that includes meals and visits both Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya is quite rare, and I think the price is reasonable. Unfortunately, the weather on the day of participation was not great, but even so, there was a rainbow over Lake Toya, and it was very beautiful.

It's much colder than Honshu, so warm clothing is essential. I wore a sweater, but it was still cold...

Packed full 盛りだくさん

Reviewed by: ミッチ

I participated alone as a woman in my 50s. On the day of the tour, there were two buses, and my bus had 35 passengers. All the sightseeing information was provided through headphones. The tour was available in Japanese, English, Chinese, and Korean, so about 70-80% of the guests were foreigners.

Being a bit greedy, I joined many of the optional activities, and it was helpful that many of them were discounted on this tour. First, we took a sightseeing boat on Lake Shikotsu. The boat had glass walls, allowing us to see into the lake, but unfortunately, the water was murky due to a recent typhoon. However, it was the season for autumn leaves, so the surrounding scenery was stunning.

We spent 85 minutes at Lake Toya. The chicken soup hot pot was very delicious. The dining area had tables arranged by group, so as a solo traveler, I could enjoy my meal without feeling awkward. There were four other solo participants from the two buses, but everyone had separate tables. After finishing my meal early, I strolled around Lake Toya and took a bath. The newly renovated eighth-floor bath was a stylish infinity pool that felt integrated with the lake, and I was very satisfied. There was also a bath on the first floor, which seemed to alternate between men and women at different times, so the men might have been on the first floor at that time. I only had about 30 minutes for the bath due to time constraints, but my body felt warm for a while afterward.

After visiting the crater at Mount Usu via the ropeway, we went to the bear ranch. It was on a smaller scale, so we could feed the bears and enjoy our time within the allotted time.

After visiting the Silo Observation Deck, we had a relaxing break on the way back. I participated in many optional activities, but many people took their time sightseeing, enjoying soft serve ice cream, and spending their time as they pleased.

Perhaps due to cultural differences, there were some guests who were a bit loose with time, but the guide repeatedly reminded us to "go back a little," so everyone kept to the schedule in the latter half (laughs).

It was a tour that allowed us to fully enjoy the nature around Sapporo in just one day.

札幌発 支笏湖&洞爺湖 日帰りバスツアー 有珠山ロープウェイも乗車<昼食付きプランあり/1名から催行/札幌駅前発着>

Enjoying the beautiful nature. 美しい自然を満喫

Reviewed by: あんしゃんてあんしゃんて

I participated with my university student son. A typhoon was approaching, but we were lucky to have good weather. There were many places we wanted to visit, and we were unsure whether to rent a car for sightseeing, but choosing this tour was the right decision. The in-car guidance is through headphones, but since there is a guide for the full day tour, we felt reassured. It's a recommended course where you can enjoy beautiful lakes and vast nature.

大学生の息子と2人で参加しました。
台風が近づいていましたが、好天に恵まれてラッキーでした。
行きたいところがたくさんあり、レンタカーで観光するか迷いましたが、このツアーを選んで正解でした。
車内の案内はヘッドホンですが、丸1日のツアーもガイドさんがおられるので安心でした。
美しい湖、広大な自然を満喫できおススメコースです。

Private Mt. Fuji Tour from Tokyo with Arakura Sengen Shrine & Fuji Five Lakes

Full-Day Private Mt. Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi Tour from Tokyo / Mt.Fuji 5th Station and Lake Kawaguchi Tour

Reviewed by: Jeannette and Tony

Overall tour was excellent. Long drive, but that was to be expected. Nori was friendly and informative.
Climate control in van needed to be more efficient.
Lunch stop location was excellent. Participants pay for own lunch, not included with tour price.
Tour stops were not the typical tourist stops, but more local attractions which were wonderful and not at all crowded.

You can get around efficiently. 効率よくまわれます

Reviewed by: mackey

The weather was cloudy, and it was a bit disappointing that the scenery wasn't very clear, but it was nice to efficiently visit two lakes and Mount Usu. The meal felt like something you would eat after being awake for a long time and wasn't very tasty, so I thought it would have been better to eat whatever we liked at the Mushroom Kingdom. The view of Lake Toya from the Silo Observation Deck was beautiful.

お天気が曇りで、あまり景色がきれいに見えなかったのが少し残念でしたが、効率よく2つの湖と有珠山へまわれたのは良かったです。食事は、長時間起きっ放しのような感じのもので美味しくはなかったので、これなら、きのこ王国で各自好きなものを食べられたほうがよかったなと思いました。サイロ展望台から見た洞爺湖は綺麗でした。

Kyoto Tour to Arashiyama, Fushimi Inari, Kiyomizudera, Kinkakuji & Sanjusangendo

One day Tour of Kyoto for the busy traveller

Reviewed by: Dr George Ryland

We took a one day tour with Veltra on Saturday 25 August. The tour commenced on time at Jolly's Coffee Shop opposite the Shin Kyoto Station. The tour gave us a comprehensive overview of the temples, shrines and gardens in Kyoto. There is a fair amount of walking to visit each site and this coupled with mid 30's temperatures was indeed a challenge for us in our mid 70's. Nevertheless the guide did point out shortcuts for us and still see the important sites. Lunch on this day was similar to a shabu shabu event with chicken & vegetable cooked at the table individually. It would have been even better in cooler weather. We found the tour ideal for the one day traveller to at least gain an overview of the beautiful historic sites of Kyoto.

Kyoto Tour to Arashiyama, Fushimi Inari, Kiyomizudera, Kinkakuji & Sanjusangendo

Great spots for pictures

Reviewed by: Jenna

This was such a great tour! My guide was Yurika and she was super sweet and very knowledgable! She took us to some very cool spots where I got nice pictures, as well as picked up some souvenirs. The street food venders near the shrine were delicious so I would recommend skipping luck so you can try as much as possible!

Overall the tour was a great experience for me and my family.

Our guide Taiji was very knowledgable about the places we visited and was very flexible and accomodating to our plans. He was also very engaging towards the group.

We would definitely engage him again when we tour Japan again and strongly recommend him to travellers.

Well worth doing the trip.

Beautiful Temples and wonderful gardens and scenery. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Lots of people!
The English translation device, which is available on the bus, only worked for the journey to the Kinkakuji Temple. After that there was no English explanation of where we we going or what we were seeing. Pity!
