All Reviews for Japan Autumn Tours 2025

I saw an exquisite view and was very satisfied. Thank you. I will definitely recommend it to my friends. Summer in Hokkaido is beautiful. ^_^

絶妙な景色見た、凄く満足した。感謝します。友達に絶対おすすめします。北海道の夏は綺麗^_^......

At first, I thought, "Isn't one hour a bit long?" and "The price is a bit high (15,000 yen for a private boat for two for one hour)," but now I think, "I'm glad I made the reservation!" Since it was a private boat for two and the first time slot (9 AM), there were hardly any other tourists on board, allowing us to leisurely enjoy the scenery of Arashiyama! The boatman was very kind, often asking, "Shall I take your picture?" and sharing local stories. I really appreciated his kindness! Next time, I want to enjoy Arashiyama in the different seasons of spring, autumn, and winter!

最初は「一時間長くね？」「値段ちょっと高いなぁ（二人貸切一時間合計15000円）」と思いながら予約しましたが、今は「予約しててよかった」と思っています！
二人の貸切しかも一番目の時間帯（九時）のため、他に乗船する観光客もほぼいませんし、ゆっくりと嵐山の風景を堪能することができました！船頭さんも何回も「写真撮ってあげましょうか」って話しかけてくれたり、地元の話を紹介してくれたりして、すごく優しい人です！
今度はまた春、秋、冬の違う季節の嵐山を楽しみたいと思います！

At that time, I didn't go to Lake Shikotsu because the wind was strong, but I experienced canoeing on the river. The river was very beautiful, and paddling on the water was a fun summer activity. On the day, we had a canoe experience with several groups led by one instructor, but since I was in a young group, the pace was fast. Instead of enjoying my first canoeing experience, there were several moments where I was desperately paddling to keep up. I know it's partly my lack of stamina, but I would prefer if we could go at a more moderate pace instead of matching the faster ones. Alternatively, if young people could be grouped together, I think it would have made for the best summer memory.

当時は風邪が強く支笏湖には行きませんでしたけど、川の方でカヌーを体験しました。
川はとても綺麗で、水の上をカヌーで進むのは夏のアクティビティでは楽しかったです。
当日はインストラクター1人に何組かでカヌー体験をしたんですが、若いグループに入ったので進むペースが早く、はじめてのカヌーを楽しむというより、置いていかれないように必死に漕ぐ場面が何度かありました。
体力がない私も悪いのですが、ペースが早い人に合わせるのではなくて、中間くらいのペースでお願いしたいです。
それか、若い人は同じグループにするかをして下されば、夏の最高の思い出になったと思います。

It was a fun experience while feeling the beauty of Lake Shikotsu. Thank you, instructor Joe! I didn't have much confidence in my physical strength, but you guided me well, and I had a great time.

支笏湖の綺麗さを感じながらの楽しい体験でした。インストラクターのジョーさんありがとうございました！体力にそんなに自信がなくてもうまく誘導してくださって楽しかったです。

The participants were about 80 people on two buses, with three-quarters being foreign tourists (mostly Chinese). Therefore, half of the guide's speech was in Chinese. The guide was from China and had no issues with Japanese; they were a very pleasant person.

The tour packed in famous sightseeing spots that can be visited in a day from and back to Sapporo, making it a tight schedule for the value. While there was no need to rush, I felt at various locations that "it would be nice to have a little more time." For example, at Lake Toya, it was too crowded to have lunch at a popular restaurant, so I ended up with a convenience store bento (the Seikomart HotChef bento was quite delicious, which was a nice discovery). At Showa Shinzan, there wasn't quite enough time to ride the Usuzan Ropeway, regardless of whether we went to the bear ranch or not.

Based on my past experience of leisurely enjoying the visitor center after taking a sightseeing boat at Lake Shikotsu, I think this tour is recommended for those who want to "see a lot of different places" or "would like to revisit the good spots."

参加者はバス2台約80人で、3/4が外国人観光客（ほとんどが中国人）でした。なのでガイドさんの喋りの半分は中国語でした。ガイドさんは中国出身で、もちろん日本語に問題はなく、大変いい感じの方でした。
札幌出発・帰着で1日で回れる有名観光地を、これ以上ないというところまで詰め込んでいるので、おトクな分タイトなコースです。急いで歩かねばならないようなことはありませんでしたが、各所で「もうちょっと時間があればいいのにね～」と感じました。例えば、洞爺湖畔では、人気店でお昼するには混雑していて出発時刻に間に合わないので結局コンビニ弁当に（セイコマのHotChef弁当は結構美味しく、新しい発見がありましたけど）。昭和新山では（クマ牧場に行こうが行くまいが）有珠山ロープウェーに乗るにはちょっと時間足らず。
過去に支笏湖で観光船に乗ってビジターセンターでゆっくり楽めた経験からすると、「とにかく色々回りたい」あるいは「よかったところはリピートあり」という方にはお勧めだと思います。

The young man was very enthusiastic and took a lot of photos for us. It was a great experience; the lake is beautiful, and the activities were very enjoyable. I really recommend it to everyone. Having some activities during the trip is really fun! Highly recommended!

小帅哥非常热心给我们拍了特别多的照片，非常好的体验，湖很漂亮，活动很愉快，真的推荐大家。旅行中有点活动还是很快乐哒！超级推荐！

It became an unforgettable experience for us. The lunch was very well prepared. The pilot was a very kind and pleasant gentleman. We want to recommend this experience and this company to everyone.

私たちにとって忘れられない経験になった。昼食はとてもよく準備されていた。パイロットはとても親切で感じの良い紳士でした。
私たちはこの体験とこの会社をみんなに勧めたい。

The guide was kind and took photos for us, and provided individual explanations, which was very helpful. When I asked about a place to eat on the way back, they also gave me recommendations.

ガイドの方が親切で写真を撮ってくれたり
説明も個別に対応してくれて助かりました
帰りに夜食べに行くお店を聞いたら
オススメも教えてくれました

It was hot, but thanks to our guide Mr. Yamashita's enjoyable explanations and accurate advice, we had a very enjoyable sightseeing experience. Shirakawa-go was of course great, but Ainokura felt like a time slip, making it a wonderful experience. I brought my elderly father along, and it was manageable time-wise, allowing us to fully enjoy the trip.

暑かったですが、ガイドの山下さんの楽しい解説と、的確なアドバイスのおかげで、大変楽しい観光を楽しむことができました。白川郷ももちろんよかったですが、相倉はタイムスリップした感じで、素晴らしい体験になりました。高齢の父を連れての観光でしたが、時間的にも無理もなく、満喫することができました。

The weather was bad and there was fog, so it was disappointing. Next time, I think I'll check the weather forecast and plan my schedule accordingly.

天気が悪かったし霧も掛かってたので、残念でした。次回は天気予報を見てスケジュールを立てようと思います。

It was a day blessed with good weather, allowing us to fully enjoy the great nature of Hokkaido. At the Usuzan Ropeway, we had plenty of time to explore the summit and visit the bear ranch. Thanks to the efficient guide and the friendly driver, we had a wonderful time.

天気に恵まれて北海道の大自然を満喫できた1日でした。有珠山のロープウェイでは山頂を散策してからクマ牧場を観る時間もたっぷりとありました。テキパキとしたガイドさんと感じのいい運転手さんのおかげで楽しい時間を過ごせました。

On June 26, I participated in the English tour with three others. "Thank you, Nick. It was fun."

Overall, it was good. Here are some points of concern:
1) We gathered more than 30 minutes early for the 9:00 AM departure from the Kyoto VIP Lounge (check-in ended 10 minutes prior), but the bus actually arrived and started at 9:30 AM.
2) I wanted more time at Nara Park. Playing with the deer was the main reason for participating, but we had no time at all after visiting Todai-ji.
3) The tours from Osaka and Kyoto should be separated. The driver was too concerned about their working hours, which made it difficult for the guide. If there wasn't a 1 to 2-hour round trip from Osaka, the tour could have been more relaxed, allowing customers to enjoy it more leisurely (especially for foreign tours). This way, we could allocate an additional 30 minutes at each point.

6/26 英語ツアーに4名で参加の村中。「Nickさん、ありがとう。楽しかったです。」
全体的には良かった。気になる点だけ箇条書きで。
1）京都VIPラウンジ9時出発⁽10分前受付で終了）ということで30分以上前に集合したが、実際BUSが来てスタートしたのが09:30だった。
2）奈良公園でもっと時間が欲しかった。鹿と遊べるのを参加の最大の理由だったが、東大寺に行ったら全く時間がなかった。
3）大阪発着と京都発着を分けるべき。ドライバーの勤務時間を気にし過ぎて、その調整でガイドが気の毒。大阪の往復1時間～2時間の移動距離がなければ、ツアーにもっと余裕が出来てお客もゆっくり楽しめるはず。（特に外国人ツアーは）
そうすると各ポイントで＋30分は時間を取れるはず。

It was a truly wonderful experience throughout the day! Our guide, Mr. Onodera, provided detailed explanations in both Japanese and Chinese, allowing all participants to feel comfortable and enjoy themselves. (About two-thirds of the participants were from Taiwan and China, while the rest were Japanese.) Not only did he introduce the tourist spots, but he also provided detailed information about local cuisine and souvenirs, which was very helpful. Additionally, I was really pleased with the thoughtful attention he showed by taking group photos every time we got off the bus. This was the best experience I've ever had! Thank you so much, Mr. Onodera!

一日を通してとても素晴らしい体験でした！
ガイドの小野寺さんは、日本語と中国語を交互に使いながら丁寧に説明してくださり、参加者全員が安心して楽しめました。（参加者は約3分の2が台湾・中国の方、残りは日本人でした）
観光スポットだけでなく、周辺のグルメやお土産情報まで細かく紹介してくれてとても参考になりました。
さらに、降車のたびにグループごとに写真を撮ってくださるなど、細やかな気配りが本当に嬉しかったです。
今までで一番の体験でした！
小野寺さん、本当にありがとうございました！

In my case, there were no other participants, and it was basically sports. The guide, Mr. Suzuki, adjusts the course and pace according to the participants. At each destination, I was able to enjoy adventurous elements, such as peering into a mystical pond, encountering a pheasant, and finding a deer skull.

私の場合、他に参加者はなく基本的にスポーツでした。ガイドの鈴木さんは、参加者に合わせてコースやペースをアレンジしてくれます。
行く先々で、幻想的な池を覗き込んだり、キジに出くわしたり、鹿の頭蓋骨があったりと、冒険的な要素があって楽しむことができました。

Since it was a tour, the time allocation was strictly managed, and we were able to visit a number of spots that would be difficult to cover on our own. Some people might feel that the free time was short, but for me, it was just right.

ツアーなので時間配分が厳重にしてあり、フリーで行ったら回りきれないくらいのスポットに行けました。自由時間は短いと感じる人もいるかもしれませんが、私的には丁度良かったです。

We visited during the day with our family of four (two brothers aged 10 and 6) before watching the night game at Escon.

First, we went out to Lake Shikotsu for a commemorative photo with the magnificent scenery as a backdrop. However, there were some waves, so we later enjoyed ourselves on the Chitose River.

The beautiful emerald green Chitose River had a gentle current, and the kids were thrilled to experience the fun of steering their own boats! As we had plans for the evening, it was also a relief for us parents not to get too worn out. (On the Chitose River, you can also enjoy peering into the clear bottom.)

The soft serve ice cream from Iwase Farm, recommended by our guide, and the cheese potato mochi we had while looking at the lake were exceptional and very soothing! (I was glad we didn’t eat at the airport!)

We also received videos of fish swimming underwater, and they provided a complete set of rain gear, boots, and life jackets for the kids free of charge. It was truly attentive service. I felt that we should have taken more time to relax at Lake Shikotsu; I highly recommend it!

エスコンでナイター観戦日の昼間に家族4名(10歳、6歳の兄弟)で伺いました。

始めに支笏湖に出て雄大な景色をバックに記念撮影、ただやはり波があり、その後は千歳川で楽しみました。

綺麗なエメラルドグリーンの千歳川は流れが穏やかで、子ども達は自力で操縦する楽しさを体験できとても盛り上がっていました！夜予定があったので親としても腕がバリバリにならずに済んだのも助かりました。(千歳川だと透明な底を覗き込むのも満喫できます)

湖を見ながら食べた、ガイドのお兄さんオススメの岩瀬牧場のソフトクリームと、チーズいももちも格別で癒されました！(空港で食べなくて良かったと思ったほど笑)

水中を泳いでいる魚の動画も頂いたり、子供用の上下合羽と長靴、ライフジャケットも一式無料で貸して頂けたり、至れり尽くせりです。もっと時間をとって良かったなと感じた程、支笏湖のんびり出来てオススメです！

It was impossible to spend a long time on the microbus. The seats rubbed against my knees, and the hard seats made my body ache. It’s outrageous to use a bus meant for nearby transportation for such long trips. Furthermore, we had to endure two hours without a bathroom break after starting. I have no complaints about the rain; that’s something we can’t control. I think the person in charge should experience the microbus at least once to understand how painful and uncomfortable it can be. I’ve used this service several times before, but I have no intention of using it again in the future. It was truly a painful and difficult bus journey.

マイクロバスで長時間は無理　膝が擦れる座席　固いシートで身体が痛くなった　近隣への送迎バスを長時間バスに使用するとはとんでもない　さらにスタートして2時間トイレ休憩もなく我慢を強いられた　時より雨の天気は仕方のないことで不満はない　担当の方は一度マイクロバスで体験してみたらいい　どんなに辛く痛いか　これまで何度か利用したが今後利用する気はない　本当に辛く痛いバス旅だった

I needed an umbrella because of the rain. The bus had audio guides available through earphones, so I wasn't bored. I enjoyed nature, including a visit to the crater from the Usuzan Ropeway. At the optional Bear Ranch, I was able to see bears of different ages and felt a connection with the bears that were around my age. Their sleeping姿 and the way they ate snacks while lying down were both amusing and brought smiles to my face. The meals, including seafood and meat, were delicious.

雨で傘が必要でした。バスの中はイヤホンを使用しての案内があり、退屈しませんでした。有珠山ロープウェイから噴火口見学できるなど自然満喫です。オプションのクマ牧場では年齢別のクマを見て自分と同じくらいの年代のクマに親近感が持てたり、寝ている姿や寝ながらおやつを食べる姿が、おかしくもあり笑顔になりました。お食事も海産物、お肉など美味しかったです。

I don't think I could have reached this place in just one day on my own. We were able to go efficiently without any crowding and on time. More than half of the guests were Chinese speakers, but the guide explained everything in both languages with care, which was enjoyable. Thanks to the experienced driver and guide, I had a wonderful day.

自分では到底この場所へ1日では行けなかったと思う。効率良く混み合うこともなく時間通りに行けました。半分以上中国語のお客さんでしたが、ガイドさんがどちらの言語も丁寧に説明してくださって楽しかった。
ベテランドライバーさんとガイドさんのお陰で楽しい1日を過ごせました。

I was able to visit Jigokudani, Chikyu Misaki, Showa Shinzan, Lake Toya, Sairo Observatory, and Lake Shikotsu all in one day. The tour guide was attentive and maintained a good distance. We returned on time. The driver's driving was excellent, and the ride was very comfortable. Thank you very much.

地獄谷、地球岬、昭和新山、洞爺湖、サイロ展望台、支笏湖が一日で回れました。添乗員さんも程良い距離感で細かく対応されてました。時間通りで帰着出来ました。ドライバーの方の運転も素晴らしく乗り心地も最高でした。ありがとうございました。

I joined this tour because I can't drive. We were able to visit two main lakes in one day, and the time allocation was just right. The meals were also very delicious.

車を運転できないので、このツアーに参加しました
一日で二つのメインの湖に行くことができ、時間配分も
ちょうどよかったです。お食事もとてもおいしかったです

The guide can introduce in Japanese, Chinese, and English, and the recommended restaurants have good flavor and are not expensive. It would be nice if we could stay at Lake Toya for a longer time.

ガイドは日本語、中国語、英語で紹介することができ、おすすめのレストランは味がよく、値段も高くありません。洞爺湖に滞在できる時間がもっと長くなるといいですね。

It seems there was a bus accident, causing a 30-minute delay in departure, and it got even later due to someone getting angry and complaining. I have no complaints about the tour content itself. However, I felt sorry for the people gathered from other hotels, especially many from Taiwan and China. There are announcements in three languages, so I think non-Japanese participants can enjoy the sightseeing as well. I wish they had secured a better lunch location.

バス接触事故があったらしく出発が30分も遅れて、キレて喚いて文句言ってる人のせいでさらに遅れた。ツアー内容に文句はないです。ただ他のホテルから集合されている人達が気の毒でした。台湾、中国の方々が多く。三カ国語で案内があるので日本人以外でも観光楽しめると思います。ランチの場所。確保して欲しかったかなぁ

The weather was nice, and the scenery was amazing, but it was quite hot for June, which was tough. However, the lunch at the hotel was delicious, and the view from the window was great.

天気が良くて、景色は、最高でしたが、６月にしては、暑くて大変でした。
ただ、ホテルの昼食は、おいしくて、窓からの景色もよくて良かったです。

The weather was pleasantly warm, with occasional clouds—not too hot and not too cold. The guide was enjoyable, and I had a great time even on my own.

晴れときどき曇りの暑すぎず寒すぎず丁度良い気候でした。
ガイドさんが楽しくて一人でも充分楽しめました。

I had only been to Hokkaido on group tours organized by travel agencies. I searched for a bus tour to visit my grandchild in Sapporo and decided to join this tour.

I was moved by the scenery at places I visited for the first time, such as Lake Shikotsu, Lake Toya, Showa Shinzan, and Mount Usu.

The journey from the ropeway to the observation deck was quite challenging for my husband and me, as we are over 70, but it was absolutely wonderful and has left a lasting impression on me. I'm really glad I participated in this tour. My grandchild in Sapporo said to come again. While I'm still healthy, I would like to join another Beltora tour.

Thank you to the driver and guide for your support!

いつも旅行会社の団体ツアーでしか北海道行ったことがありませんでした。札幌の孫に会いに行き、何かバスツアー🚌検索していてこのツアーに参加させて頂きました。
支笏湖、洞爺湖、昭和新山、有珠山初めて行くところばかりでその景色に感動しました😊
ロープウェイ🚡から降りて、展望台迄の道のりは、70過ぎの私達夫婦には大変でしたがもう素晴らしくて目に焼き付いています。このツアーに参加して本当に良かった。札幌の孫から又来てねとの事。元気な間に又ベルトラツアーに参加したいと思います。
ドライバーさんガイドさんお世話になりありがとうございました👵

Seeing Showa Shinzan in person was great.
I was moved by the natural grandeur of Noboribetsu Hell Valley.
I really enjoyed the beauty of nature, and I'm glad I went.
There were many foreign tourists on the bus tour.

昭和新山実際に見てよかったです。
登別地獄谷の自然の迫力に感動しました。
自然の素晴らしさが楽しめてとてもいってよかったです
外国の人がバスツアー多かったですね

I visited three places, and two hours flew by. I wish I had a bit more time to explore the Arashiyama and Kiyomizu-dera areas. The meeting point was easy to find, and the driver was kind, making for a comfortable sightseeing experience.

３箇所にいくので、２時間があっと言う間でした。嵐山と清水寺界隈の散策時間がもう少しほしいです。
待ち合わせ場所はわかりやすくて、ドライバーさんも優しかったので快適な観光でした。

The tour guide's explanations were humorous and easy to understand. It must be challenging to explain in both Japanese and Chinese, as it takes twice as long, but I think it would be very reassuring for those coming from China. I was able to visit many places in a compact schedule, which made me think that I would like to explore this area more thoroughly next time. Everything was on schedule, and the driving was safe and comfortable. Thank you, Natsuharu and Sato.

添乗員さんの説明が、ユーモアがあって分かりやすかったです。
日本語と中国語での説明だと時間が2倍かかるので大変でしょうが、中国から来た方にはとてもほっとするツアーではと思います。コンパクトにたくさん回ってもらえたので、次回はここにじっくり行ってみたいな、など考えるきっかけになりました。時間も予定通りで安全運転してもらえて快適でした。夏冬さん、さとうさん、ありがとうございました。

I was guided mainly in Chinese, but Hokkaido is in Japan, and this company is also in Japan, so I questioned whether this was a part of China.

中国語中心にガイドされてたけど、北海道は日本で、ここの会社も日本国なので、ここは中国の国かと疑問に感じた。
