All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

On August 1st, I participated with my middle school son. We stayed in the Sapporo Station area, and accessing the Hitsujigaoka Observation Hill seemed a bit troublesome, so we decided to join mainly for that.

First of all, Kaoru, the staff member! She had a very pleasant voice and way of speaking, and my son, who usually doesn't compliment people, secretly became a big fan of hers.

It was sunny in the morning, but it started raining just before the meeting time, so I was worried about whether we would enjoy it. However, the lift to the jump site in the rain became a memorable experience, and we were able to see Dr. Clark clearly once the rain stopped.

The anecdotes were very interesting, and to be honest, I didn't have high expectations, thinking of it merely as a means of transportation, but I highly recommend it for those who are undecided.

However, there is one point. The bus check-in counter was really hard to find when walking from inside the station. I checked the map on my phone multiple times and even used navigation, but you can easily miss it if you're coming from the north exit. I think it would be better to put up a simple sign on the back side as well. After finding it, I wondered why I didn't notice it right in front of me! That was the only disappointing point.

I can't go to Hokkaido often, but I was able to create wonderful memories. Thank you very much.

8/1 に中学生の息子と、参加させて貰いました。
札幌駅周辺で連泊し、羊ヶ丘展望台に行くにはアクセスが面倒そうで…他はオマケ程度で参加を決めましたが。

まずは、係のカオルさん！とても心地の良いお声と話し方で、あまり人を褒めない息子が密かに大ファンになっておりました。

午前中は晴れていたのに、集合時間前位から雨が降ってしまい、楽しめるか心配でしたが、雨の中のジャンプ台までのリフトも思い出ですし、クラーク博士も雨が上がりしっかりとみれましたし。

小話もとても面白く、失礼ながら移動手段程に考えて、あまり期待はしていなかったのですが、迷ってる方でしたら是非ともオススメです。

ただ、1点。
チェックインをして下さいという、、バスの窓口が、駅構内から歩いてくると本当に解らないです。
何度も携帯で地図をみて、ナビまでしましたが、、北口の外からじゃないと見落とします。
裏側にも、簡易的にでも名称を貼っておいた方がいいと思います。見つけた後は何故こんな真正面で気付かないのか！？と思う位置にありますが、そこだけが 残念な点でした。

なかなか北海道には、行けないですが、良い思い出を作る事が出来ました。ありがとうございました。

It was my first time traveling alone, but it was a fun and relaxing trip even by myself. Since it was during the inbound season, most of the participants were from overseas, and the guide provided information in three languages, showing great consideration. They would say, "If you get off here, you'll find this," sharing local specialties and shopping spots, which helped me enjoy my time without any hassle. The guide also took photos for me, so I have some great memories captured even as a solo traveler.

1人参加は初めてでしたが、1人でも楽しいらくな旅でした。インバウンドな時期でほとんどが海外の方でガイドさんも3ヶ国語で案内され気遣いされてました。「ここで降りたらこれよ。」と名物やお買い物スポットも伝えてくれるので、ロスなく過ごせます。
写真もガイドさんが撮ってくれたり、1人でも写真が残りました。

People from various countries participated, and at first, I was anxious, but we visited many places in one day, and it was fulfilling to stay on schedule. During the initial travel, there were no restroom breaks, so I thought it would have been better to have restroom breaks during long-distance travel.

The tour guide was friendly, which was great. My first time in Hokkaido became a wonderful memory.

いろいろな国の方達が参加していて、
最初は不安でしたが、1日でいろいろな所を巡り、
時間通りに進んで充実でした。
最初の移動時はトイレ休憩がなかったので、
長距離移動時はトイレ休憩を挟んでもらえたら
良かったなと思います。

添乗員さんも気さくな方で良かったです。
初めての北海道、素敵な思い出になりました。

I planned to take my relatively fit mother in her 80s to an extraordinary place, looking for a location where we could efficiently visit tourist spots. I was a bit anxious because I read that there were many foreigners in the reviews and that the guide was Chinese, but I’m glad I decided to participate.

The tour was fully booked, with two-thirds of the participants being foreigners (mostly from China or Taiwan), but the guide was bright and humorous, and he was a trilingual guide who spoke Japanese, Chinese, and English all very quickly. It was a very enjoyable tour, and I was surprised to meet a guide who was so fluent in three languages. His name was Sean, and he was impressive!

At Cape Kamui in Shakotan, I was able to walk with my mother for 45 minutes to the tip of the cape, which used to be off-limits to women, and we also had over two hours of free time in Otaru where we enjoyed seafood bowls, bought glass accessories and sweets, and leisurely walked around. The "Shiroi Koibito" Park had flower fields and was as fun as an amusement park.

Although the bus travel time was long, I was surprised to find that I had walked about 16,000 steps when I got home. We were able to efficiently sightsee and create wonderful memories, for which I am grateful. Thank you very much!

足腰の割としっかりした80代の母を非日常空間へ連れて行きたいと計画、効率よく観光地を周れる所を探し、
口コミに外国人が多くてガイドさんが中国人とあったのでどんな事になるか少々不安はあったのですが、思い切って参加して良かったです。
満席で、3分の2が外国人(多くは中国か台湾)のツアーでしたが、ガイドさんが明るくユーモアがある上に、日本語、中国語、英語が全て早口で話せるトリリンガルガイドさんで、とても楽しいツアーでしたあんなに3か国語ペラペラなガイドさんは初めてで、びっくりしました。ショーンさんと言う男性でしたが、お見事！です。

積丹神威岬では、昔は女人禁制だった岬の先端まで母と45分間一緒に歩いて帰って来れて、小樽も2時間以上自由行動できたので海鮮丼食べたり、ガラスのアクセサリーやお菓子を買ったり、ゆっくり歩き回って楽しめ、「白い恋人」パークはお花畑もあり、まるで遊園地みたいな楽しさでした。
バス移動時間は長いツアーですが、帰宅したら万歩計16000歩くらい歩いていてビックリでした。
効率よく観光でき、良い思い出が作れて、感謝。
本当にありがとうございました。

It was great to be able to easily visit areas that are inaccessible without a car on a day trip. If there are other plans that I can participate in, I would like to use the service again.

一人だと、車がないと、行けないエリアは、日帰りツアーで、気軽に行けてよかったです。また、他の企画で、参加出来そうなものがあれば、また利用したいです。

The tour was longer and more interesting than I expected. I was surprised by Hell Valley. I think it will be even more beautiful here in the fall.

ツアーは思ったより長くておもしろかったです。地獄谷はびっくりしました。秋の時ここにはもっと綺麗だと思います。

When summer comes, I always want to go to the beach, so I chose a tour. I saw the beach at Cape Kamoi and various plants. It was very comfortable.

夏が来る時、いつもビーチへ行きたいですからツアーを選びました。神威岬でビーチを見るしいろんな植物を見ました。すごく快適でした。

I was satisfied to visit several famous tourist spots in one day. The tour guide's stories were humorous, and they were very considerate, making it a fun day. Thank you very much.

1日でいくつかの有名観光地を訪れることができ満足しています。
添乗員さんのお話しもユーモアあり、いろいろと気遣って頂き楽しい1日になりました。
ありがとうございました。

I was able to visit places that are difficult to reach by train or bus, such as Okurayama and Shiroi Koibito Park. It was a fulfilling half-day tour where I enjoyed eating and buying seafood at the market.

大倉山や白い恋人パークなど電車やバスでは行きにくい場所を観光できました。
市場では海鮮を食べたり買ったりと充実した半日観光でした。

This time, I was happy with my trip to Lake Toya, and the food was delicious. The summer in Hokkaido was cool. I was surprised to meet a guide from my hometown in Shanghai in Sapporo. I want to travel to Sapporo again.

今回、洞爺湖の旅には嬉しいし、料理も美味かったです。北海道の夏は涼しかったです。札幌には上海故郷案内人と会うびっくりしました。また、札幌に旅にもう一度に

It was a bit disappointing that it rained on the day of the tour. Also, since it was a tour with foreigners (in 3-4 languages), I understand that it can't be helped, but as someone from the Showa era, I would have liked more information from the guide about the scenery and local information. Since it had been a while since I participated from Osaka, I felt that just traveling by bus made the bus tour a little lonely. Thank you very much.

I heard that the lavender in Furano was at its best, so I decided to embark on a solo bus trip. I was able to enjoy my time comfortably without worrying about those around me. Although the plan didn't include lunch, I was able to buy what I liked at various stops and eat on the bus, which was great. The guide also made a good impression by actively offering to take photos for us.

富良野のラベンダーが見頃と聞いたので1人のバス旅を決行しました。
1人でも全然周りを気にする事なく快適に過ごせました。ランチの付いてないプランでしたが、所々で好きな物を買ってバスの中で食べる事が出来たのでよかったです
ガイドさんも写真をお撮りしましょうか？と積極的に動いていて好印象でした。

It was cloudy on the day of the visit. If it had been clear, the blue of the sea would have been even more vibrant, but there's nothing that can be done about that. Everything else was perfect. The lunch was delicious. The guide was experienced, knowledgeable, and full of humor.

For those who are coming, the difficulty of Kamoi Cape is extraordinary. The distance and the ups and downs are significant. There were people clearly wearing unsuitable footwear and others in long skirts. If they had known, they would have dressed differently.

当日は曇り｡快晴なら海の青さも更に映えただろうが､こればかりは仕方ない｡それ以外は満点｡昼食も美味しい｡ガイドさんもベテランで詳しい&ユーモアたっぷり｡
これから来る人へ｡神威岬のハードさは尋常でない｡距離も､アップダウンも｡今回､明らかに歩きにくそうな履物の人や､ロングスカートの人も｡分かってたら違う格好だったろう｡

The bus journey takes you to the destination, which is appreciated. However, the stay at each location is only about 30 minutes, making it a rushed trip. Nonetheless, it seems that every place has its ups and downs; the souvenir shops and surrounding areas were quite deserted. Showa Shinzan and Lake Toya had a moderate level of liveliness.

On the day of participation, it was cloudy with occasional sunshine, but unfortunately, it rained at Lake Shikotsu, and I couldn't see the beautiful Shikotsu Blue, which was disappointing.

The guide was from China, but they spoke Japanese very well and provided an enjoyable tour. It was a fun day. Thank you.

バスの旅は現地まで連れて行って下さるので有難いです。
ただ、滞在時間が各所共に30分程なので駆け足旅になります。が、しかし、何処の場所も栄枯盛衰なのか、
お土産屋さんなど、周辺は閑散としていました。
昭和新山、洞爺湖はまぁまぁな賑やかさ。

参加当日は曇りで、時々陽が差す感じ、最後の支笏湖は雨になってしまい、せっかくの支笏湖ブルーが見られなかったのが残念でした。

ガイドさんが中国の方でしたが、日本語もお上手で楽しくガイドしてくださいました。
楽しい一日でした。
ありがとうございます。

I participated in this tour because I wanted to see the scenery of Furano and Biei for the first time. Along the way, I enjoyed soft serve ice cream at the Blue Pond and melon at Farm Tomita, so I was able to enjoy not just the scenery but also the food. I was also satisfied to finally see the flower fields! Even though I was alone, I had a great time chatting with the tour guide and other participants. I was able to return to Sapporo early, which allowed me to make it in time for my dinner reservation, making it very efficient.
I highly recommend it. Thank you!

初めての富良野、美瑛の景色を見たくて参加しました。途中で青い池でソフトクリームやファーム富田でメロンを食べたりと景色だけでなく食も楽しめました。念願のお花畑も見れて満足！1人でも添乗員さんとお話したり、ツアーの方とお話ししたりと楽しい時間でした。早めに札幌に帰ってこれたので、夕食の予約にもばっちり間に合い効率的でした。
大変おすすめです。ありがとうございました！

Having completed my child-rearing journey, this was my first solo trip since being single.

Unlike my hometown in the south, the scenery in Hokkaido was so unique and beautiful that it felt like a different Japan altogether. I was truly impressed by its vastness and grandeur.

The fellow passengers on the bus were all very considerate. When I accidentally forgot the meeting time, they kindly reminded me with a smile, saying, "It's at 〇 o'clock."

They also guided us along an alternate route to avoid congestion, which was a great decision.

Both the driver and the tour guide were very friendly and caring, providing us with detailed local information, making for a very enjoyable trip.

I am truly grateful for all the assistance during this trip. It was such a memorable tour that I would love to have the same group guide me again. Thank you very much!

今回子育てを一通り終え、独身以来一人での旅行でした。

私の出身地南とは違い、北海道の景色は同じ日本と思えない位に独特で美しく、広大で非常に壮麗な場所に感激しました。

同じバスに乗っている方も常識のある方達で、私が思わず集合時間を忘れてしまった時、聞くと笑顔で「〇時ですよ。」と教えて下さいました。

混雑状況を見て、逆のルートから案内して下さり、大正解でした。

運転手さんも添乗員さんもとても気さくでお心ある方で、細かい現地の情報も教えて下さり、とても楽しい旅になりました。

この度は本当にお世話になりました。又同じメンバーでご案内して欲しい位に思い出深いツアーでした。心より感謝申し上げます。
Thank you very much!

I'm glad I found a bus tour that allows you to visit multiple places in half a day. Since my flight was in the evening, I didn't have much time for sightseeing. It was more efficient and reasonable than going around on my own.

半日で何箇所も回れるバスツアーが見つかって良かったです。この日は夕方発の飛行機だったのであまり観光に時間が取れなかったからです。個人で回るより効率が良くてリーズナブルでした

On July 24th, we departed from Sapporo and visited Noboribetsu Hell Valley, Cape Chikyu, Lake Toya, Showa Shinzan, and finally Lake Shikotsu. It was a very enjoyable day. I was impressed by Sho's wonderful trilingual explanations, and I would love to participate again if I have the opportunity!

7月24日札幌発、 登別地獄谷、地球岬、洞爺湖、昭和新山、最後は支笏湖も訪問、とても楽しい1日でした
紹さん素晴らしい三ヶ国語の説明は感動しました、いつか機会があればまた参加したいと思います♪

The tour guide spoke Japanese, Chinese, and English fluently, and shared very enjoyable stories with some jokes. They provided information about meals, souvenirs, and detailed histories of tourist spots, and their actions were prompt and impressive. In the dining area, they helped at the restaurant and quickly brought out the prepared dishes, even taking the initiative to snap photos for everyone. They seemed to be Chinese, but they were the best tour guide I've had so far! There were one-third Japanese participants, with many from China and a few from English-speaking countries, and the guide made sure everyone could communicate in their own language without any issues. There were no delays in gathering times, and the bus was very quiet and problem-free. The sightseeing was abundant; while each stop might have been brief, it was perfect for those who want to visit many places! The driver was also very skilled, and the bus was clean and spacious, which was great. However, there were a few transfers that took about an hour and a half, so I recommend using the restroom as soon as we arrive at each location. It was a tour that exceeded the price, and I would like to use it again when I visit Hokkaido.

添乗員さんは日本語、中国語、英語を巧みにお話されて、ジョークも入れながらすごく楽しいお話でした。食事やお土産情報、観光地の詳しい歴史などもお話され、行動もテキパキと素晴らしい添乗でした。食堂でもお店の手伝いをして出来上がった料理をどんどん運んでいらして、写真も撮りますよ～と率先して皆さんの写真のシャッターを押してました。中国の方のようですが、今までの添乗員さんの中で一番でした！日本人は1/3、あとは中国の方が多く、英語圏の方も少数いらして、皆さんにその国の言葉で困らないよう気づかいされてました。集合時間の遅れもなく、バス内もとても静かで問題なかったです。観光の方も盛り沢山で一ヶ所一ヶ所は短めかもしれませんが、とにかく色々沢山観光地を巡りたい方には最高です！運転手さんもとっても運転が上手でバスも綺麗で大きくて良かったです。ただ、何ヵ所か一時間半くらいの移動もあったので、必ず到着他ではまずトイレを済ませることをお勧めします。お値段以上のツアーでしたので北海道に行った際はまた利用したいと思います。

You can go individually, but considering the distance and efficiency, I decided to join a bus tour. In conclusion, it was definitely the right choice!

The itinerary went as planned, and we had several bathroom breaks. I didn't know about the Biei Roller Coaster until I joined this tour, but it was a hidden gem. If you go by bus, you might just pass by, so I hope to visit again slowly by car next time.

One of the highlights was the Blue Pond. Many other tours visit in the afternoon, so being able to go in the morning was a key factor for me. We were blessed with good weather, and the scenery was very satisfying, just as I had hoped!

The buffet surprised me with a melon starter, but considering the cost performance, it might actually be quite reasonable! The buffet included Hokkaido-style dishes like Genghis Khan and soup curry. There weren't a huge number of options, but I felt satisfied after going back for food two or three times.

At the Colorful Hill, there were lavender fields and seasonal flowers blooming, giving that summer Hokkaido vibe!

I also didn't know about Ningle Terrace until I joined this tour, but there were many cute shops quietly nestled in the forest, and I was able to take lots of photos!

The tour was mainly in Chinese and English (with an overseas tour guide), and the explanations in Japanese were focused on key points, but the tour guide spoke Japanese very well, so I had no complaints about the language.

個人で行くこともできますが、移動距離もあり、効率も考えてバスツアー に参加させていただきました。
結論としましては参加して正解でした！

工程は予定通りで、トイレ休憩もちょこちょこ挟んでいただけます。
美瑛ジェットコースターはこのツアーに参加するまで知らなかったのですが、穴場の観光地でした。バスだとスッと通り過ぎてしまうので次回は自家用車でゆっくり行けたらいいなー。

目玉の一つの青い池。他のツアーでは午後訪問が多く、このツアーは午前に行けることが決め手の一つでした。
天気にも恵まれ、期待通りとても満足できる景色でした！

ビュッフェは、メロンスタートでちょっと驚きましたが、コスパ考えますと意外と合理的かもしれません！笑　ビュッフェはジンギスカンかスープカレーなどの北海道っぽいものもあります。品数ご少ないわけではないのですが、2〜3回取りに行ったら満足かなーという感じでした。

色彩の丘ではラベンダー畑と、季節の花が咲いていて、ザ夏の北海道！という感じでした！！

ニングルテラスもこのツアーに参加するまで知らなかったのですが、森の中にひっそり佇むかわいいお店がたくさんあってたくさん写真撮れました！

ツアーは中国語、英語メイン(海外添乗員さん)で、日本語での説明はポイントを絞っての解説でしたが、日本語が大変お上手な添乗員さんで言葉の不満もありませんでした。

I had anticipated this since I checked the reviews in advance, but the Japanese explanation only included the travel time to the destination and recommended foods at that location, with no explanation about the tourist sites at all. The same goes for the English. The explanation in Chinese was lengthy and extremely unpleasant.

The French person sitting next to me on the bus was also quite angry.

Is proper training provided? I used to work for a travel agency, and there are no tours like this. It's terrible. Please only conduct tours for Chinese tourists.

事前に口コミをチェックしていたので、予測しておりましたが　日本語の説明は目的地までの所要時間　その場所でおすすめの食べ物のみ　観光地についての説明一切なし。
英語も同様。中国語では説明が長く凄く不快な思いをしました。
バスで隣に座っていたフランス人もかなりお怒りでした。

きちんとした研修はされていますか。私も旅行会社に勤務しておりましたがこのようなツアーはありません。酷すぎる。
中国人相手にだけツアーを催行してください。

- The jump site was overwhelmingly impressive, and I was glad to experience the steep slopes that exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended.
- Being healed by the sheep is even better if the weather is nice. The lavender is also beautiful at this time of year.
- I appreciate that there are no tours departing at this time, and I hope to see more afternoon tours like this.
- I think it's questionable to label the tour content as it mostly just passes by without much meaning from the car window. I would like to see a stop, even for a short time, to take a look.

・ジャンプ場は圧倒的な迫力で、想像以上の急勾配を目の前にして行けて良かった。オススメ。
・羊たちに癒されるもお天気が良ければ尚◯。
時期的に何気にラベンダーもキレイ
・行程として、この時間帯発のツアーはないので有難い。このような午後発ツアーは増やしてほしい。
・車窓から、はほとんど意味がないくらい通過するだけで、ツアー内容に銘打つのはいかがなものかと思う。
少しの時間でも下車して見せてほしい。

The guide explained in Japanese, English, and Chinese, which was great. The explanations included jokes, making it enjoyable. Even Japanese people had fun.

ガイドの人が日本語、英語、中国語で説明してくれるので、良かったです。
冗談も交えながらの説明で、楽しかったです。
日本人でも楽しめました。

I participated in late July. As others have mentioned, there were few Japanese participants, about 20%. The majority were of Chinese descent, making up 70%, with the remaining 10% from other backgrounds. The guide was also of Chinese descent and explained the itinerary and highlights in three languages: Japanese, English, and Chinese. While some others commented negatively about the large number of inbound tourists, on the day I attended, there were no ill-mannered individuals, and I did not experience anything particularly unpleasant.

However, as mentioned earlier, the guide repeated the same content three times (in Japanese, English, and Chinese), which might feel lengthy and annoying to some.

What concerned me was that the bus was going quite fast, even on mountain roads. Since this tour covers many popular tourist spots, it seems there is a time constraint, and the driver may have no choice but to speed. I think the itinerary should be reconsidered.

7月下旬に参加しました。他の方も書かれている通り、日本人の参加者は少なく2割ほどでした。中華系の方々が7割、その他1割で満員でした。カイドの方も中華系の方で日英中の3か国語で行程や見所などを説明されていた。他の方の意見にはインバウンド客が多く、否定的なコメントもあったが、私が参加した日はマナーの悪い方はおらず、特に不快なことはなかった。
ただ前記の通り、ガイドさんの説明が同じ内容を×3(日英中)でするので、時間が長く鬱陶しく感じる人もいるかもしれない。
私が気になったのはバスがかなりスピードを出し飛ばしていたこと。山道でさえかなりのスピードでした。このツアーは人気観光地を多く廻るため、時間的に無理があり、ドライバーさんもやむなくスピードを出さざる得ないのだろう。行程は再考した方が良い。

The course had a wealth of sightseeing spots, and we were blessed with good weather; everywhere was lovely. However, it seemed that the guide was Chinese, and at first, they explained in Japanese, Chinese, and English, but then they started explaining only in Chinese for a long time. It seemed like they were quite talkative, and the continuous flow of unfamiliar words in Chinese made me feel a bit uncomfortable.

The next day, on a different bus tour, I was able to listen to explanations in Japanese, English, Chinese, and Korean through earphones, so I could enjoy the explanations in Japanese only, which made the following tour very pleasant. This bus tour was quite tiring, perhaps because I had to listen to so much Chinese.

コースとしては、豊富な見学場所があり、天候にも恵まれて、どこも素敵でした。
ただ、ガイドさんが中国の方の様で、最初は日本語・中国語・英語で説明したのですが、途中から中国語だけで長く説明をされていました。
とにかく良く話す方のようで、中国語がずっと長い時間流れていて、聞きなれない言葉なので少し不快に感じました。
翌日に別のバスツアーで、イヤフォンで日本語・英語・中国語・韓国語で説明を聞くことができるものだったので、日本語だけの説明を聞くことができて、翌日の別のツアーはとても気分が良かったです。
今回のバスツアーは、中国語ばかり聞かされたこともあったのか、とても疲れました。

I think it was the tour as described. The bus seats are assigned. If there are empty seats and you inform the guide, you can move. Inside the bus, the main feature is the earphone guide, but there are also explanations in Japanese from the guide. Even though it's Hokkaido, it gets hot in the summer and ice cream melts quickly, so I recommend a cup. The lunch portion was quite large. At the hotel where lunch was served, there were only two restrooms available, and there was a line. I was concerned about the manners of the overseas participants.
- They don't stop chatting even when the guide is speaking, so it's hard to hear the guide's voice.
- They recline their seats all the way back.
- They apply strong-smelling substances on their bodies inside the bus.

記載通りのツアーだったと思います。
バスの座席は指定です。座席が空いていてガイドさんに伝えれば、移動可能です。
車内では、イヤホンガイドがメインですが、ガイドさんからの日本語の説明もあります。
北海道とはいえ夏は暑くアイスは即溶けるので、カップをオススメします。
昼食は、量が多めでした。
昼食場所のホテルでは、使用できるトイレが2か所計2つしかなく、行列でした。
参加される海外の方のマナーが気になりました。
・ガイドさんが話しているときにもおしゃべりを止めないので、ガイドさんの声が聞こえない。
・リクライニングを最大限まで倒す。
・においがキツイものを車内で体に塗ったくる。

I signed up relatively quickly as a solo participant, but it seems it wasn't on a first-come, first-served basis, as I ended up with an aisle seat. There was a mix of Japanese and foreign participants, about half and half, but the person next to the window was a large Korean man who was constantly playing games on his phone, and his elbow kept bumping into me. I couldn't see the view from the window at all, and I could only catch a glimpse of the Kenmeri and the Seven Stars tree through the gaps. Even though I was a solo participant, there were others who seemed to be using their space comfortably, so I wondered if they had signed up directly. I experienced for the first time how the luck of the seat can completely change the impression of the tour for solo participants. Getting off the bus was fantastic.

一人参加で割と早く申し込みましたが先着順ではないのでしょう、通路側でした。日本人、外国人混合で割合は半々でしたが隣の窓側が体の大きな韓国人でずっと携帯でゲームをしており肘がどんどん当たって窓の景色は全く見れなくケンメリだとかセブンスターの木も体の隙間からチラッとしか見れませんでした。一人参加でも一人でゆったり使っている人もいて直に申し込んだのかなとも思いました。一人参加の場合、座席の運が良いか悪いかでツアーのイメージが全く異なることを初めて体験しました。
バスを降りれば最高でした。

I think there were many people due to the long holiday, but everyone was well-mannered and kept to the schedule, making for a pleasant sightseeing experience. The guide's explanations were good, and it was nice that they asked foreign visitors to adhere to the time. It was also reassuring that the bus seats were assigned. Lake Toya became very famous due to the summit, but after actually visiting, I feel it's not necessarily a lake worth going out of your way for, so I would give it four stars.

連休ということで人数は多かったのだと思いますが、みなさん、マナーもよく時間厳守で気持ちよく観光できました。ガイドさんの説明もよく、外国人の方への時間を守っていただくようにお願いしていたこともよかったのだと思います。バスの席も決めていただいていたので安心でした。洞爺湖はサミットで大変有名になったこともですが、実際に行ってみるとわざわざ行くほどの湖ではないのかな、ということで星４つですかね。

The Sea of Japan is so beautiful and healing!!! At Cape Kamoi, the wind was strong and I felt like I might get blown away, but I might want to go again, lol.

日本海がとってもきれいで、癒される！！！
神威岬では風が強くて、飛ばされそうだったけどまた行きたいかもw

The tour details mention "a free soft serve ice cream at Otaru Sushi Sen," but I didn't receive any coupons or anything. I have no idea what's going on.

ツアーの内容の中に「小樽寿司 鮮にてソフトクリーム1コプレゼント♪」を記載されていますがクーポンなどもらわなかったです。全然分かりません。
