All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

Thank you very much.
Both the guide and the driver were friendly and engaging!
It was enjoyable not only as a sightseeing tour but also for connecting people from Japan and abroad.
Making new friends became one of the highlights of the tour.

ありがとうございました
ガイドさんも運転手さんも気さくに話をしてくれました！
観光ガイドだけでなく、日本と海外の方、人と人も繋いでくれて楽しかったです。
新しい友達ができるのもツアーの楽しみの一つになりました。

I participated in this tour to watch a baseball game from Tokyo. It efficiently takes you around famous places. The guide is also very kind and provides various information. It would have been even better if there had been time to take a sightseeing boat on Lake Toya.

東京から野球観戦に併せて参加しました。
有名な場所を効率良く回ってくれます。
ガイドさんも親切に色々な情報を教えてくれます。
洞爺湖の遊覧船に乗れる時間があるとなお良かったです。

I was able to enjoy both the Shakotan Peninsula and Otaru sightseeing at the same time. During the tour, I passed through the gate that prohibits women at Cape Kamoi and had a panoramic view of the Sea of Japan. In Otaru, I also had over two hours for sightseeing, so I visited the Kitai Hall and the Stained Glass Museum!

積丹半島と小樽観光が同時にできました
ツアー中、神威岬では女人禁制の門をくぐり日本海を一望できました
小樽でも2時間以上観光の時間がありましたので北一ホールやステンドグラス美術館を見学しました！

Since it was my first time in Hokkaido and I couldn't drive, I used this tour. I'm glad I was able to visit places like the Blue Pond and waterfalls that I definitely wouldn't have been able to reach on my own.

北海道には、初めてきたのと車が運転できないのでこちらのツアーを利用しました
青い池や滝など自力では、絶対にいけないところに行けて良かったです

It was indicated that there was no guide, but there was one. The conversation was enjoyable.
The Herb Garden Furano did not have a herb garden; it was just a drive-in with food and a souvenir shop.

ガイドはないとの表示でしたが、ありました。話は楽しかったです。
ハーブガーデン富良野は
ハーブガーデンは無くて
食事とお土産やさんだけのドライブインでした。

Shakotan is said to be a famous place, so I decided that when I go to Hokkaido, I will definitely visit Shakotan. I also think Otaru Canal is a nice spot. I had a seafood bowl at Sankaku Ichiban.

積丹は有名なとことと言われて、北海道へ行くのは絶対に積丹に行くことを決めました。小樽運河もいいところだと思います。三角一番で海鮮丼を食べました。

The Shikotsu Lake and Toya Lake course has other options, but this course includes a sightseeing boat on Shikotsu Lake (additional charge), where you can see Ezo chub and columnar jointing through a glass-bottom boat, which was great.

支笏湖、洞爺湖コースは他にもありますが、こちらのコースは支笏湖遊覧船（別料金）があり、グラスボートでエゾウグイや柱状節理をみたりできるので良かったです。

I joined a tour with the purpose of visiting Lake Toya. I was able to go to more places than I expected. Noboribetsu Hell Valley was also amazing.

洞爺湖として目的でツアーに参加しました。思ったより色んな場所へ行けました。登別地獄谷も凄かったです。

It is difficult to access Cape Kamoi on the Shakotan Peninsula without a car, but the scenery during the 50-minute round trip to the tip of the cape was breathtakingly beautiful. With good weather and strong winds, trekking while enjoying the views of Shakotan Blue on both sides was undoubtedly the highlight of this tour.

This tour had a mixed group of participants from various countries, and the guide spoke English, Chinese, and Japanese at a basic level (probably Chinese). The guiding during the trip was mostly in English and Chinese, with Japanese being brief and lacking explanations about the towns along the way. There were no descriptions of the scenery or landmarks during the journey. For Japanese tourists expecting the detailed professionalism of a Japanese tour guide, this left some dissatisfaction.

On the other hand, most of the guests were Chinese, which was a unique experience in a way. However, I wished that more time had been dedicated to introducing Japanese culture to the Chinese tourists who traveled all the way to Japan. Even while traveling, if there were interesting sights outside, the guide should actively share information about Japanese local culture, history, and food. It feels unfortunate for Chinese tourists who came all the way to Japan! By providing detailed introductions to Japan that can only be gained by being there, I hope to see an increase in pro-Japan sentiments among Chinese visitors.

As it stands now, I cannot recommend this tour to Japanese tourists.

個人では車がないとアクセスしにくい積丹半島の神威岬に行き
往復５０分の岬先端へのアクセス道中の景色は息をのむ美しさでした。
お天気が良く風が強い中、積丹ブルーの景色を両サイドに見ながらのトレッキングが何と言ってもこのツアーのポイントです。　

このツアーは各国混載でガイドさんは　英語、中国語そして日本語がまあまあという感じで（多分中国人）移動中のガイドはほとんど英語と中国語が長く
日本語は手短で途中の街の説明などはなし。移動中の土地の景色や名所説明についての説明は一切なし。いわゆる日本人観光ガイドのようなきめ細かいプロフェッショナルな観光を期待した、日本人にはちょっと不満が残りました。

逆に、お客のほとんどは中国人で、ある意味、貴重な体験でした。しかし、遠路はるばる日本へ来た中国人観光客に対しても、もっともっと時間を割いて日本の文化を紹介してほしかった。走行中もお席に座ってお休みなされないで、社外の面白い景色があったらすぐ、日本の郷土文化や歴史や食べ物なども、積極的に、ガイドするべき。これじゃ、わざわざ日本に来た中国人観光客が可哀そう！。現地へ来たからこそ得られる、詳しい日本を紹介することにより、親日本の中国人が増えて欲しい！

なお、今のままでは、日本人観光客にはこのツアーはお勧めできない。

I felt that it would be impossible for non-able-bodied individuals to participate due to time constraints (my mother has a disability). I had hoped to go to the aquarium, but I was asked if it was okay to change the course since the time was short. I really wanted to go to the aquarium! ✨

時間に、余裕がなく、(母が心障の為)健常者でない人の参加は、無理だと思いました
水族館希望でしたが、時間が短くなるけど、良いですか?と、言われコースを変更しました。
水族館へ行きたかったです✨

The view at Cape Kamoi was breathtaking, and I was moved when I arrived. I saw some people in sandals, but that's dangerous. I felt that sneakers and a decent level of fitness are necessary due to the many ups and downs. I enjoyed the dolphin show at Otaru Aquarium.

神威岬が絶景で到着した時は感動しました。サンダル姿の方も見かけましたが危険です。アップダウンが多いためスニーカーかつそれなりの脚力が必要と感じました。
おたる水族館はイルカショー楽しみました。

I participated because it was packed with places I wanted to visit. Although the weather was unfortunate, the tour guide shared various information and had enjoyable conversations with us. The tour progressed on time, and I was able to return earlier than expected, making it a satisfying experience!

行きたかった場所が詰まっていたので参加させてもらいました。
あいにくの天気ではありましたが、いろんな情報も教えてもらいながら、楽しいお話もしてくださった添乗員さんも、時間通りにすすんで思った以上に早めに帰れて満足できたツアーでした♪

On a weekday with less than ideal weather, the crowd was just enough that if you waited a bit, you could take good photos. On weekends, it seems that even getting into the parking lot can be quite a struggle, and things may not go according to schedule. I think it's best to participate with some extra time to spare. The tour guide, who has visited many times for work, was very kind and, although they mentioned they couldn't provide a full guide service, they shared recommended spots and popular souvenirs. The bus was nice, and with careful driving, I didn't experience any motion sickness, which I had been worried about.

平日で天気が良くなかったので、少し待てば良い写真が撮れる程度の混雑具合でした。休日だと駐車場に入るのも一苦労のようで、スケジュール通りに進まない事があるようです。時間に余裕を持っての参加が良いと思います。何度も仕事で訪れている添乗員さんはとても親切で、ガイドは出来ないとおっしゃりながらもおすすめスポットや人気のお土産を教えて下さいました。良いバスと丁寧な運転で、心配していた車酔いも全くありませんでした。

Hokkaido is known for having no rainy season, but the Cape Earth, which I wanted to see the most in clear weather, was completely obscured by rain and fog. Could this be the rumored Shiroi Koibito?

However, I was able to see the beautiful paper-cut landscape by Hideyuki Fujikura that I saw the day before at Sapporo Mitsukoshi at Lake Toya!

I want to make a comeback in a few years!

梅雨のない北海道ですが、一番晴れて欲しかった地球岬が、雨と霧で全く見えませんでした。
もしかして、これが噂の白い恋人ですか？

ただ、前日札幌三越で見た藤倉英幸さんの美しいはり絵の風景が洞爺湖では見れました！

また何年後かにリベンジしたいです‼︎

The weather forecast didn't promise any sunny spells, but gradually, the clouds cleared during the tour, and we were able to see a beautiful blue sky!! I was dozing off a bit during the bus guide, but I think they provided quite a bit of information. The seafood bowl for lunch was disappointing, but the sea urchin I ordered was very delicious, and I was satisfied with the larger portion than I expected!!

天気予報では晴れ間は期待できなかったですが、ツアー途中からだんだんと雲が少なくなりキレイなブルーに会えました!!
バスでのガイドもうつらうつらしてましたが、かなり案内をしてくれていたと思います。
ランチの海鮮丼は期待外れでしたが、注文したウニはとてもおいしく、思ったより量も多くて満足でした!!

The guide skillfully used three languages to create an enjoyable bus trip. People from various countries were on board, and we engaged in cross-cultural communication by taking photos together. The tour condensed the highlights of Hokkaido into a short time, making it an ideal choice for first-time visitors to Hokkaido.

ガイドさんが３ヶ国語を駆使して楽しいバス旅行を演出してくださいました。
いろいろな国の方が乗っていらして、写真を撮りあったりと異文化コミュニケーションにもなりました。
短時間で北海道の名所が凝縮されており、初めての北海道にはうってつけのツアーだと思います。

The weather was a bit disappointing for sightseeing as it was rainy and then sunny, but I was able to enjoy the dynamic scenery and the townscape of Otaru. However, from the pickup instructions at the meeting point to the gathering time announcements at the sightseeing drop-off points, the primary language used was Chinese, with Japanese explanations being minimal. The staff, except for the driver, were from China and were friendly, but it was unfortunate that I had to be extra attentive to not miss the announcements about the meeting place and time. The previous day's tour had a perfect guide team with both Japanese and Chinese guides, which made the difference even more noticeable.

雨が降ったり止んだりの天気だったので観光はちょっと残念でしたが、ダイナミックな景色や小樽の町並みは堪能できました。
ただ、ピックアップ地での乗車案内から途中の観光下車地での集合時間案内まで、基本は中国語で日本語案内はオマケ程度でした。スタッフもドライバー以外は中国の方で、フレンドリーではあったのですが、集合場所▪時間の案内を聞き逃さないように気を使う必要があったのが残念です。
前日のツアーが日本人▪中国人のタブル添乗員でのバッチリ案内だったので余計に差を感じました。

The guide spoke fluently in Japanese, Chinese, and English, and provided a very polite tour. The weather was nice, and I was able to spend a relaxing and pleasant day. Thank you for your assistance.

ガイドさんは日本語、中国語、英語と3ヶ国語を流暢に話し、とても丁寧に案内してくれました。
お天気も良くてゆったりと気持ちの良い一日を過ごすことができました。
お世話になりありがとうございました。

The tour guide spoke Korean for 15 minutes and then said a word or two in Japanese! I didn't really need much explanation, but I felt a bit alienated. The itinerary itself was good.

添乗員さん、15分韓国語を喋って、一言二言日本語！
別に説明してもらうことはそれほどないんですが、何か疎外された感じでした。
旅程自体は、良かったです。

The tour guide spoke mostly in Chinese, and there wasn't much guidance in Japanese. At one point, there was a confusing situation where all passengers were taken to the aquarium just to drop off two participants, which shortened our free time. However, the tour guide did not provide any explanation about this. If I had known from the beginning that this was the kind of tour it would be, I probably wouldn't have booked it even if the price was a bit lower.

添乗員の方が中国語ばかりで、日本語での案内があまりありませんでした。途中で、参加者の2名だけを水族館に連れて行くために、乗客全員が水族館まで連れられるという意味不明な事があり自由時間がその分短縮されるという出来事もありましたが、またそのことについて添乗員さんから何も説明はなく終わりました。始めからこんなツアーだとわかっていたら、少し値段が安くても予約することはなかったと思います。

Arrived in Hokkaido on a flight the night before.
Participated in a tour with Veltra from the morning of the next day.
Visited Noboribetsu Hell Valley, Lake Toya, Cape Earth, Showa Shinzan, and Lake Shikotsu.
Saw a lot of sights. In the evening, I attended a live concert at ZEPP SAPPORO, which was the purpose of this trip.
Returned home on a flight the next morning. Thanks to Veltra, I was able to complete a whirlwind trip to Hokkaido.

前日夜の便で北海道入り
翌日朝からベルトラの観光に参加
登別地獄谷、洞爺湖、地球岬、昭和新山、支笏湖
たくさん見てまわりました。夜からは今回の旅の目的ZEPP SAPPOROでライブ観戦。
翌日朝の便で帰宅。ベルトラのおかげで駆け足の北海道旅行を完成させていただきました。

Hello~
It was a bit too packed and tiring.
The lunch buffet was hectic, and there were too few dishes that suited my taste.
There shouldn't be breaks every 10 minutes.

Finally, the crew instructed us to put our trash in the trash cans at the service area.
It felt like they were saying that. I didn't comply, but they were specifying where to throw it away.
I'll be contacting the highway corporation; this is the worst.

こんにちは〜
チョット詰め込みすぎて疲れる
昼のビュッフェランチが忙しなくて
食べる料理が少なすぎて口に合わない、
休憩も10分刻みはないだろう、

最後に乗務員がゴミはサービスエリアの
ゴミ箱に入れてくれと指示してた、
言ってる様な感じでした，私は従わなかったが
ゴミ箱の位置まで指定して捨てさせてた、
道路公団に連絡してきますね、最悪

Since it was my first time participating from Kyushu, I was really worried about the weather in Hokkaido. As expected, it was colder than I thought, and I felt chilly in short sleeves, so I ended up wearing a jacket. The forecast didn't predict any rain, so I didn't bring an umbrella, but it actually drizzled a bit, which made me anxious. Having a folding umbrella and a compact jacket is definitely not a burden, and it's better than regretting being cold.

I thought that the photo spots were places I would never go to if I were using my own car instead of a bus tour, so that's one of the great things about the bus tour! The guide was experienced, so I was impressed by how they said things like, "I recommend this here," or "The restroom over there is busier than this one." They provided great tips, like when it's best to use the restroom and that it’s better to hold off on snacks for now. I think those insights are skills that only a veteran can provide. I had no complaints other than the meals, so I would love to talk with this guide again. Thank you very much!

九州から初参加だった為、北海道の天気がどんな感じか本当に不安でした。案の定思ったより寒くて、半袖では寒く上着を着て過ごしました。雨も予報にはなかったので持って行ってなかったら、実際少しパラついててヒヤヒヤしました。折り畳み傘とコンパクトに出来る上着はあって困る物ではないし、寒くて後悔するよりマシです。
写真撮影する場所はバスツアーじゃなくて自家用車だったら絶対行かない場所だったよなーって思ったので、それはバスツアーのいい所ですね！ガイドさんも慣れてる方だったので、「ここではこういう物がオススメです」とか「そっちよりこっちのトイレの方が混まないです」とか慣れてるのが凄い！と思いました。どのタイミングで絶対トイレに行っておくといいとか、今はまだオヤツで我慢しておくべきとか、案外言われないと気付かない点は、ベテランさんじゃないと出来ない技なのかなと思います。食事以外に不満はないので、このガイドさんならまたお話ししたいと思いました。本当に有難う御座いました！

I was very surprised that the guide used headphones. The guide provided explanations from a local perspective about what we could see from the train window, and I was very satisfied with the attentive service. The time management was just right as well. The Shiroi Koibito Park was unexpectedly stunning with its full bloom of roses. I thought it was just a shop, but it felt like a small theme park, which was a pleasant surprise. If I have the opportunity again, I would like to use this service. Thank you very much.

ガイドがヘッドホン式で大変驚いたのですが
ガイドさんが、車窓から見えるものの説明を地元目線で話して下さったり、
きちんと対応してくださって大満足です。
時間配分もちょうど良かったです。
白い恋人ﾊﾟｰｸは、まさかの薔薇満開で圧巻でした。
単なるショップと思っていたのに、ちょっとしたテーマパークのようで嬉しい誤算でした。
また機会があれば、利用させていただきたいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

Two years ago, the tour of the Blue Pond and Farm Tomita was mostly rainy, and yesterday's trip to Cape Erimo, which was supposed to be a revenge tour, was also rainy and completely obscured. I had almost given up. Finally, the rain stopped, and I was saved by the impressive jump platform and the blooming roses at Shiroi Koibito Park.

2年前の青い池、ファーム富田ツアーはほとんど雨、リベンジのはずのきのうの地球岬も雨で全く見えず、もう諦めていました。
ようやく雨も止み、ジャンプ台の迫力、白い恋人パークの満開のバラに救われました。

I plan to introduce this to my friends. I definitely want to go here in the summer. It was a great experience. I would like to participate again.

友達に紹介しようと思います。夏にここに絶対に行くところかな。
良い体験でした。
また、参加したいと思います。

I have visited Sapporo several times.
This time, I used a bus tour to efficiently explore areas I had never traveled to before, such as Showa Shinzan, Lake Toya, and Lake Shikotsu.
We were blessed with good weather, and everything we saw was magnificent and impressive.
I was also surprised by the detailed explanations from the tour guide, who provided information in three languages.
It turned out to be a truly enjoyable day of travel, and I am very glad about it.
Thank you very much.

札幌へは数回訪れています。
今回旅したことのない昭和新山、洞爺湖、支笏湖・・・方面のバスツアーを利用し効率良く見学できました。
天候にも恵まれ見るところすべて雄大で感激しました。
添乗員さんの説明も詳しく3か国語の案内に驚きました。
終日楽しい旅になり本当に良かったです。
ありがとうございました。

I participated on June 23rd. Since it was my first time on a day trip bus tour, I joined with both expectations and anxieties. Lunch was a free meal plan.

We visited various attractions throughout the day, and we were able to do so efficiently. I recommend it for those who want to enjoy the scenery. The bus for transportation was comfortable and pleasant.

The sightseeing time at each point was just right, neither too much nor too little. However, be careful during lunch at Mushroom Kingdom, as getting caught in the ordering line can leave you with little time.

The price is reasonable, making it a good option for first-time visitors to Hokkaido like myself, those unsure of where to go, or anyone who wants to explore without driving.

This plan includes two lakes. The views from the shores are beautiful, but since the differences are subtle, I recommend taking the sightseeing boat on Lake Shikotsu as an option. The clarity of the water and the views from the boat are quite different from those seen from the shore.

In conclusion, I didn't say "it was the best" because I can't compare it as it was my first bus tour, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I can definitely recommend it.

6月23日に参加させて頂きました。
私自身、日帰りバスツアーが初めてでしたので、期待と不安を持っての参加でした。
昼食は自由食プランです。

ほぼ一日かけて各名所を周りますが、効率よく周る事が出来ました。
風景を楽しみたい方にはオススメです。
移動のバスも快適でいい感じでした。

それぞれのポイントの観光時間も適当で、余ることもなく、足りないこともありませんでした。
但し、キノコ王国の昼食の際、注文の列に巻き込まれると余裕がなくなるので注意が必要です。

お値段もリーズナブルなので、私のような北海道初めての方や、何処に行ったらいいのかわからない方、運転せずに楽に周りたい方にいいと思います。

こちらのプランは湖が２つあります。
湖岸からの景色はそれぞれ綺麗ですが、違いが出辛いので、オプションにはなりますが支笏湖の観光船に乗船するのをおすすめします。
水の綺麗さや船上からの景色は、湖岸から見るのとはまた違いますから。

最後になりますが、「最高でした。」にしなかったのは、私がバスツアー初めてで比較出来ないからで、私自身は充分満喫出来ました。
十分おすすめできます。

The bright and friendly guide, along with the safe-driving crew, made the journey through the beautiful natural scenery of Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya even more enjoyable.

明るくて親切なガイドさんと、安全運転の乗務員さん。
支笏湖・洞爺湖の美しい自然を残した景色の旅が更に楽しくなりました。
