All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

Since children under elementary school age can use child fares for JR and buses, I planned this trip thinking it would be a good opportunity before graduation. However, this tour charges adult fares once you turn 12, so I couldn't take advantage of the lower rates. Those in a similar situation should be cautious. I learned this for the first time with this airline.

As for the content, I honestly didn't have high expectations for the views from the train windows, but the red brick government building is currently under renovation and is set to reopen in 2025, so all we could see was a curtain with a "picture" on it. However, the guide's stories, even about such negative information, kept us entertained throughout the journey.

At the Okurayama Jump Stadium, the view from the top after taking the lift is quite impressive. I think it's a place that you wouldn't normally visit individually unless you're on a tour, but it's definitely worth seeing.

The Shiroi Koibito Park can feel a bit rushed when shopping, but there are many items available at the airport on the way back, so thanks to the guide's advice to focus on park-exclusive items, I even had the time to enjoy watching the Consadole Sapporo practice.

The outer market didn't have any timing issues, but it was somewhat disappointing. It might be due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but I had the impression that markets are for food walking, yet it seems that you can only eat at the dining hall.

JRやバスは小学生は子供料金なので、卒業旅行がてら、安いうちにと思い今回の旅行を計画したんですが、このツアーは、満１２歳になると大人料金になるので、駆け込みの恩恵受けられません。同様の境遇のかたは要注意です。このあたりは航空会社もなのですが、今回初めて知りました。

続いて内容に関してですが、車窓ってなっているところは、正直、期待もしてなかったですが、赤れんが庁舎は2025年度リニューアルオープンらしく改修工事中で幕に覆われた状態で見えるのは幕に書かれた『絵』なんですね。でも、そんな負の情報もトークのネタに使うなど、道中のガイドさんの話は終始楽しませてもらいました。
大倉山ジャンプ競技場は、リフトで上まで登ると、なかなかの眺望です。ツアーでもないと、なかなか個人では行かないような場所と思いますが、一見の価値ありです。
白い恋人パークは買い物すると慌しいですが、帰りの空港で買える物も多いので、パーク限定品に絞って買うと良いというガイドさんの助言のおかげでコンサドーレの練習風景を楽しむ余裕まで出来ました。
場外市場も時間的には問題ないんですが、若干期待外れ。コロナ禍だからなのかも知れませんが、市場って、食べ歩きのイメージありましたが、食べられるのは食堂のみのようです。

Although it was a domestic tour, the tour guide was from China. It's true that the number of overseas guests has been increasing, and there were participants from several countries. I understand that when there are more international guests, it can be challenging to provide explanations in multiple languages. While I don't mind where the guide is from, this is Japan after all. The explanations started with Chinese, followed by English, and finally in broken Japanese.

I understand that Japanese is difficult, but I believe it's common sense to provide guidance in the local language first. If that's difficult, it should at least be in English, Japanese, Chinese, and then other languages. The explanations in Chinese were excessively long, and at times, I felt uncomfortable. I believe that as more international visitors come to travel, we should avoid guides who treat Japanese people poorly.

国内のツアーなのに、添乗員の方は中国の人でした。確かに海外のお客様も増えてきていて　いくつかの国の人が参加されていました。
海外の方が増えると何カ国語かの説明はしなければならないので大変だとは思います。別に案内の方がどこの国の方でも構いませんが、ここはあくまでも日本です。何事においても初めに中国語の説明があり、そして英語、最後につたない日本語での案内でした。
日本語は難しいということは理解しますが、まずは現地語で案内をするのが常識だと思います。
もしそれが難しい場合まずは英語、日本語、中国語、他の言語となるのではないでしょうか？
中国語の説明だけはやたらに長く時々不快感を覚えたくらいです。
これからも海外の方が旅行に訪れると思いますが、少なくとも日本人を粗末にするようなガイドは止めて欲しいと思いました。

Since I was traveling with small children, I couldn't participate in a tour that lasted too late, so I quickly decided on a plan that only included Asahiyama Zoo. With a guide, my child was able to stay engaged during the journey. Thank you to the driver for their very careful driving. (Both of you were very kind to the children, which made me happy.) The other participants were all very well-mannered as well. I enjoyed the zoo even more than I expected. Thank you! I will rely on you again when I visit Hokkaido.

小さい子連れだったのであまり遅くまでのツアーは参加できず、旭山動物園のみのプランがあってすぐ決めました。
ガイドさん付きで道中も子が飽きずにいられました。そしてとっても丁寧な運転をしてくださった運転手さん、ありがとうございました。（おふたりとも、子どもにもとても優しく接してくださってうれしかったです）一緒に参加された方々もマナーの良い方ばかりでした。
動物園も予想以上に楽しめました。
ありがとうございました！また北海道に行った際はお世話になります。

I arrived at Sapporo Station earlier than scheduled and made it to the airport with plenty of time. I was also satisfied with being able to see Showa Shinzan from above, as well as the guide and audio guide.

定刻時間より早目に札幌駅到着して、空港に余裕で着きました
昭和新山を上から見られた事など内容も、またガイドさんや音声ガイドに満足

The bus on the way got caught in traffic, which delayed the end of the tour and required us to change our dinner reservation, but we still enjoyed the sightseeing. The bus guide was very energetic and explained everything clearly, so we learned a lot about the Shikotsu Lake Ice Festival. Thank you very much.

行きのバスが渋滞に巻き込まれてしまい、ツアー終了の時間が押して夜ご飯のお店の予約を変更することになりましたが、観光としては楽しめました。
バスガイドさんがとても元気にハキハキと説明してくださったので、支笏湖氷濤祭りのことをよく知ることが出来ました。
ありがとうございました。

I was glad that we arrived earlier than planned due to the lack of snow, allowing us to enjoy our time longer. It's a pity we missed the penguin walk...

雪がなかった関係で到着時間が早く、予定よりも長い時間、楽しむことができてよかったです。ペンギンのお散歩には間に合わなくて残念でした…

I was able to efficiently visit the sites and enjoyed a great lunch with the cable car included. The snowy scenery was beautiful. The driver's driving was careful and felt calm, which made me feel safe. The guidance through the headphones was also good. The bus guide was experienced, and there were a few moments that made me go "hmm," but overall it was very good!

効率よく周って昼食、ロープウェイ付きでとても楽しめた。雪景色がキレイでした。
ドライバーさんの運転は丁寧で穏やかに感じ安心できました。
ヘッドホンによる案内も良かった。
バスガイドさんはベテランさんでそこが少し、ん？とくるところがありましたが総合してとても良かったです！

It's an efficient tour. Overall, I'm satisfied. However, I think it would be better to allocate a bit more time at Hell Valley instead of Showa Shinzan.

効率高いツアーです。概ね満足。
ただ昭和新山の時間を地獄谷にもう少し割いた方がいいではないかなと思います

Dreamy Ice Walk

When I woke up in the morning, I was worried about the event because the drift ice had drifted quite far offshore, but it went ahead as planned. Since the event was held in the bay, there was plenty of drift ice, and with temperatures just under 10 degrees, there were many cracks, making it easy to get immersed in the ice, which was great. The guide also took a lot of photos for us, which was nice.

If I had to mention something, I would have appreciated having a waterproof case for my smartphone available for rent (it would have been nice to have been informed in advance that a waterproof case would be beneficial), and it was a bit unfortunate that the breakwater showed up in the background of the photos in the bay.

However, I was very satisfied because I received many photos for free! Thank you very much!!

憧れの流氷ウォーク

朝起きると流氷がだいぶ沖に流れていたので開催を心配しましたが予定通りでした。
この日は湾内での開催だったので流氷もしっかりあり、気温が10度弱で亀裂も多く流氷にドボンと浸かりやすくてよかったです。
ガイドさんがたくさん写真撮ってくれたのもよかったです。

強いて言えば、レンタル品でスマホ防水ケースがあれば嬉しかった(事前に防水ケースがあったほうがいいよとお声がけいただけたら嬉しかった)のと、湾内だとどうしても写真後ろに防波堤が映り込むのが惜しかったです。

でも、無料でたくさん写真もらえたので大満足です！
ありがとうございました！！

I was healed by the beautiful scenery of Lake Toya and the foot bath. I slipped and fell at Hell Valley, but the steam and the view were wonderful. Showa Shinzan and Mount Usu were also clear and looked really beautiful. I mainly signed up for the Shikotsu Lake Ice Festival, but I was pleasantly surprised by the other tours as well. The guide was very kind, thank you. I was surprised that there were only three Japanese people, but I really enjoyed the feeling of being on an overseas trip!

洞爺湖キレイな景色と足湯に癒やされました地獄谷滑ってコケてしまいましたが…湯けむりと景色ステキ昭和新山、有珠山も晴れていてすごくきれいに見えました支笏湖氷濤まつりをメインに申し込みましたが、氷濤まつりはもちろんほかの周遊も思いのほか感激しましたガイドさんも親切な方でありがとうございました日本人が３人だけでびっくりしましたが、海外旅行気分️満喫できました

I participated in this tour as a solo traveler. I think it's a great value since you can visit several places in one day. I had no inconveniences or complaints, and I'm very satisfied. Thank you!

1人旅行で参加させていただきました。
一日数カ所訪問できるので、コスパが高いと思います。特に不便も不満もなく、満足です。ありがとうございました！

It was a tour packed with highlights in just one day. I wanted to leave the tour early to head to the airport on the last day of my trip, and they kindly agreed to my request, which was a huge help. I also think the cost performance is excellent.

一日で、見どころ盛り沢山のツアーでした。
旅行の最終日で空港に向かいたいので最後の行程で離脱したい旨を、快く了承して貰えたので、凄く助かりました。
コスパも最高だと思います。

I think you should properly state on your website that you won't be going to Cape Earth. Also, the tour guide was constantly talking loudly in Chinese, which was quite annoying. I wondered what the point was of talking so much without a guide. I at least wanted them to lower the volume.

地球岬に行かないのならちゃんとホームページに書くべきだと思った。
あと添乗員さんが一生爆音で中国語で喋ってるのがうるさかった
ガイドなしなのにずっと喋ってるのはいかがなものかと思った。せめて音量を下げてほしかった。

Initially, I planned to just take a boat from Abashiri to see the drift ice, but as I researched, I found out that I could walk on the drift ice with Veltour, and even go further in, so I decided to go to Shiretoko.

I had some worries like, "What if there’s no drift ice?" or "What if the weather prevents us from walking?" but I was really glad that we were blessed with good weather and could safely experience it.

I had thought that the drift ice was all separate and just floating, so when I first saw it from a distance, I thought, "This is just like walking on snow." However, as I walked on it, I encountered the floating drift ice, and when I thought it was solid, it would sway and I would stumble or get stuck, which made it really fun. It was truly enjoyable!

I love Hokkaido and have been there many times, but this was the most fun and memorable experience I've had! I definitely want to participate again next year.

Our guide, Imahi, was very friendly and was smiling the whole time, which made the experience even more enjoyable and warm-hearted.

Thank you so much!

最初は網走から船に乗って流氷を見るだけの計画を立てていましたが、調べる内にヴェルトラさんで流氷の上を歩くことができる、さらに入ることができると知り知床まで行くことにしました。
流氷が来ていなかったら、、
天候によって歩けなくなったら、、
などせっかく行くのに、と不安もありましたが、天候に恵まれ無事体験することができてほんとに良かったです。
流氷とは1つ1つ離れていて全てがプカプカ浮かんでいるものだと思っていたので、初め遠くから見ていると「これって雪の上歩くのと同じやん」と思っていました。
ですが歩いていくとプカプカした流氷にも出会えたし、固いと思ったらゆらゆらで転ける、ハマる、というようなおもしろさもあり、ほんとに楽しかったです。
北海道がだいすきでたくさん行きましたが今までで1番楽しい最高の思い出ができました！
ぜひまた来年も参加したいと思います。

ガイドのいまひさんの愛想もとてもよくて終始ニコニコしており、いまひさんのおかげでさらに楽しめたし温かい気持ちになりました。

本当にありがとうございました！

I participated in an ice floe walk for the first time. It was also my first time wearing a dry suit, but they taught me carefully, so I had no problems at all. I was grateful that they lent me a knit cap, which eased my worries about getting wet.

They took photos and uploaded them, so I didn't have to worry about bringing my smartphone and possibly dropping it, allowing me to enjoy the experience with peace of mind.

This time, I participated in tours from both Picchio and Shinra, and it was hard to choose between the two.

If I had to say, Picchio is great for beginners and families because they provide thorough support, while Shinra moves at a quicker pace, catering to those who want to enjoy things on their own to some extent. The experience areas were the same for both companies when I participated, so I don't think there was a significant difference in the content of the experiences.

初めて流氷ウォークに参加しました。
ドライスーツを着るのも初めてでしたが、丁寧に教えてくださるので、何も問題ありませんでした。
ニット帽を貸してくれるのも、濡れるのが気にならなずありがたかったです。

写真を撮ってアップしてくださるので、自分でスマホを持ち込んで落としてしまうかも、といった不安に感じることもなく、安心して楽しめました。

今回、ピッキオさんとシンラさんの両方のツアーに参加したのですが、どちらも甲乙つけ難かったです。

強いて言えば、
ピッキオさんは丁寧にフォローしてくださるのでビギナーや子ども連れ向け
シンラさんはサクサク進めてくださるので、ある程度自分で楽しみたい方向け
といった感じでしょうか。
体験のエリアは、自分が参加した時はどちらの会社さんも同じところでしたので、体験内容に大きな差は無いと思います。

On the day I used it, there was a blizzard that occasionally made it hard to see, and I was worried if it would even take place, but there were no problems at all. You can get off at two locations, and the rest is explained through announcements. I thought it would be nice to have a live commentary from the guide, but it was a great value and packed with information. It was really convenient for a first-time visit, which was great.

利用した日は時折前が見えなくなるほどの吹雪で、開催されるのかな？と心配しましたが全く問題ありませんでした。降車できるのは2ヶ所で、あとはアナウンスで解説してくれます。ガイドさんのナマ解説がいいなー、と思ったけどお値打ちだし情報もいっぱいだしよかったです。
初めてで行くにはものすごく楽でよかった。

The time allocation was just right; we spent the day without it being too long or too short, and we never got bored! For lunch at Lake Toya, we were free to go eat wherever we wanted, so we were able to have lunch at a place we wanted to try, which was great! The guide informed us about the local specialties at each destination. Our bus guide was from China, and her clear explanations were very helpful. It was impressive that she spoke in three languages! Lake Toya is rich in nature, and the deep snow made us laugh as we struggled to walk. We enjoyed riding the ropeway at Showa Shinzan! It wasn't included in the tour price, so we paid for it ourselves. At Noboribetsu's Hell Valley, we enjoyed the beautiful mountains while smelling the sulfur. The tour coincided with the Shikotsu Lake Ice Festival, so we paid the entrance fee to go in. It was very beautiful and cold, but we made great memories!

時間配分がちょうどよく、長すぎず短すぎず飽きることなく1日過ごせました！
お昼の洞爺湖半の昼食も自由に自分たちで食べに行けたので、行きたかったお店でランチもでき、とても良かったです！
行く先々の名物はガイドさんが教えてくれます！私達のバスガイドさんは中国の方で割りとはっきり言われるところがとても良く参考になりました。3ヶ国語で話されてたのも印象的でした！
洞爺湖半は自然豊かで雪も深く足がとられて笑いっぱなしでした。昭和新山ではロープウェイに乗って満喫しました！ツアー代には含まれてないので、自分たちで乗りました。登別の地獄谷では硫黄臭をかぎながら山がキレイでした。ちょうど、支笏湖の氷濤まつり時期のツアーだったので、入場料払って入りました。とてもキレイで寒かったけど、良い思い出ができました！

It was a cost-effective tour that efficiently took us to the places we wanted to go. We also experienced snow rafting at Lake Toya, which was very refreshing. Although we had limited time, we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.

It seemed there were sightseeing boats at Lake Toya Onsen, but if we had more time, I thought it would have been fine to skip lunch. However, since we couldn't find the boat, I assumed we would run out of time and gave up on that idea.

There were many foreign guests, and the tour guide was trilingual. They were very attentive, and we had a great time.

行きたいところに効率よく連れて行ってもらえ、お得感のあるツアーでした。
洞爺湖では雪上ラフティングも体験しました。とても気持ちよかったです。限られた時間内でしたが、充分楽しめました。
洞爺湖温泉では遊覧船もあったようですが、もし時間があれば、お昼抜きでもいいと思いましたが、船が見当たらなかったので、おそらく時間切れになると思い、諦めました。
外国人客が多く、添乗員さんは、トリリンガルでした。
いろいろ気を配ってくださり、楽しく過ごせました。

I participated in a bus tour for the first time. The woman (a foreigner) at the meeting point was very efficient in giving instructions, and when I was looking for the restroom, she immediately pointed out where it was (laughs).

The bus was full. Although there were many international travelers, the atmosphere inside was very quiet and comfortable. The male guide provided announcements in three languages. His explanations were very clear. We progressed according to the scheduled times at each location. Driving in the snow can be challenging, so this was a great help. This tour is efficient and well-organized, so I highly recommend it for those looking to explore sightseeing spots from Sapporo.

初めてバスツアーに参加しました。
待ち合わせ場所にいらっしゃる女性の方（外国の方）が、てきぱきと
指示をしてくださり、時間までにお手洗いを探していたら、その姿を見て
すぐさまトイレの場所を教えてくださいました（笑）

バスは満員でした。
海外の方達の割合が多いですが車内はとても静かで
過ごしやすかったです。
ガイドの男性の方は3ヶ国語でアナウンスをしてくださいます。
とても分かりやすい説明でした。
各所、滞在時間通りに進みます。
雪の中、自分の運転は大変なのでとても助かりました。
効率よく合理的に進んでいくツアーなので、札幌から観光場所を探している方にはとてもおすすめです。

I was glad to be able to see the classic tourist spots in Hokkaido in just one day. At Lake Toya, I was able to enjoy a hot spring at a stopover. However, it felt like I was in a foreign country since there were mostly people from Asia, like China, and only two of us were Japanese—myself and the driver. But it was nice that the guide provided explanations in Japanese as well.

北海道の定番観光地を1日で見ることができて良かったです。
洞爺湖では立ち寄り湯で温泉に入ることができました。
ただ、中国などアジア系の方たちばかりで日本人は私と運転手さんの二人だけで、外国に来たような感じでした。でもｶﾞｲﾄﾞさんが日本語でも案内してくれたので良かったです。

It was truly a new world.
I can't believe I could walk on the flowing ice.
It was such a wonderful and fun time.
The guide was kind with the photo opportunities, and I got to see a beautiful sunset at dusk.
I feel like I want to come back here every year.

本当に新世界だった。
流れる流氷の上を歩くことができるなんて…
あまりにも不思議で、楽しかった時間だった。
ガイド分の写真撮影も親切で、日没時の素敵な夕焼けも見られた。
毎年またここを探しているようだ。

As a beginner in Sapporo, I struggled to find the meeting place but managed to arrive. I showed my voucher to the staff and received a ticket with my bus seat number. The seats were assigned in advance.

The sightseeing guide provided multilingual broadcasts through earphones. Each bus seat was equipped with a power outlet or USB port, allowing for charging.

At the Okurayama Jump Stadium, the Olympic Museum was closed, and without taking the lift, there was nothing to do for an hour (the café was open). It seemed like 30 minutes would be enough for going up and down. The view from the top was very beautiful.

At Shiroi Koibito Park, if I had more time, I could have done a factory tour, but with only 30 minutes, I could only see the outdoor mechanical clock and do some shopping inside before time was up. I didn’t have anything to buy, so I had plenty of time. The building and the mechanical clock are cute.

At Sapporo's Outer Market, I was worried about it getting crowded and not being able to eat, so I went shopping after my meal. Since it was a weekday, it wasn't too crowded, and I was able to take my time looking around after eating.

I’m not sure about the time allocation for each place, but it was very good for efficiently visiting tourist spots around Sapporo. I wanted to join another tour in the evening, so it turned out to be a very fulfilling half day.

札幌初心者の私は、集合場所探しに苦労しましたがなんとか到着。
窓口の方にバウチャーを見せて、バスの座席が書かれたチケットをもらう。座席は事前に決まっていました。

観光案内はイヤホンをつけながら多言語放送。バスの各席にコンセント？USB？が備え付けてあり、充電できる仕様でした。

大倉山ジャンプ競技場は、オリンピックミュージアムが休館中であり、リフトに乗らなければ1時間何もすることがありません。(カフェはやってました)上り下りでも30分くらいで足りそうな感じでした。頂上からの景色はとても綺麗です。

白い恋人パークは、時間があれば工場見学などできたと思いますが、30分なので外のからくり時計と中のお店でショッピングくらいで時間が来ます。私は買うものがなかったので、時間は十分でした。建物とからくり時計がかわいいです。

札幌場外市場は、混んで食事が食べられなくなるのが怖かったので、食事→買い物の順で回りました。平日だったのでそれほど混んでおらず、食後もゆっくり見て回れました。

それぞれの時間配分はわかりませんが、札幌近郊の観光地を効率よく回るにはとても良かったです。夕方から別なツアーに参加したかったので、とても充実した半日になりました。

Having a guide and an audio guide on the bus made the long travel time enjoyable without getting bored. I actually didn't have high expectations for lunch, but it turned out to be better and tastier than I thought. I enjoyed both Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya, and I was able to explore Mount Usu as well. The rest stop at Mushroom Kingdom was also fun (I had mushroom soup and tempura, etc.), making for a satisfying day. On the way back, we could choose our drop-off location, which allowed us to select a convenient spot for evening activities. The guide was very polite, and overall, it was a great experience.

ガイドさんが付くのとバス車内では案内ガイド？が付いていて長い移動時間も飽きる事なく楽しめました。
実は お昼は期待して居なかったのですが思っていたよりも良かったのと美味しかったです。
支笏湖も洞爺湖も楽しめ、有珠山散策？も出来、途中立ち寄る休憩場所の きのこ王国でも楽しめ(きのこ汁や天ぷら等食べました)満足の1日でした。
帰りは降車場所を決められるので夜の行動に良い場所を選択出来、とても便利でした。
ガイドさんは とても丁寧だったしトータルして とても良かったです。

Even though it was a tour with strangers, there was someone who couldn't keep time. I fully understand that the guide is also a customer and can't complain, but I would have appreciated a neutral comment.
Shiroi Koibito Park was crowded, and it felt like our stay was too short.
If I have the opportunity to use this service again, I will participate in a full-day tour.

見知らぬ人間のツアーなのに、時間を守れない人がいた。ガイドさんもお客さんだから、文句は言えないのは充分理解はできるけど。当たり障りない一言は欲しかったです。
白い恋人パークが混んでいて、滞在時間が短いように感じました。
今度利用することがあれば、1日ツアーに参加させて頂きます。

The bus was very clean and the seats were spacious. We got caught in traffic for over an hour, so if the seats had been cramped, it might have been frustrating, but they were wide enough to stretch my legs, which was a relief.

The tour guide was also polite, making it a good experience.

バスがすごく綺麗で席も広かった。１時間以上の渋滞の巻き込まれたので、狭かったらイライラしたかもしれませんが足を伸ばせるぐらい広かったので助かりました。

添乗員さんも丁寧でいい経験でした。

It was a bus tour that stopped at various places. Basically, it seems like the cost was just for the bus. However, I was glad to be taken to places I wouldn't normally go on my own.

The description mentioned there would be a foot bath, but there was none to be found anywhere. Why!?

We had free time for lunch at Lake Toya, but the restaurant right in front of us was fully booked. We ended up walking a bit to find a place to eat.

The next stop, Showa Shinzan, seemed to have many restaurants, and there were attractions like a bear ranch and a ropeway, so I thought it might be better to spend more time there for lunch.

The Ice Festival was really great!

色んな所に寄るバスツアーでした。
基本的にはバス代のみなのかな。でも自分ではなかなか行けないので、色んな所に連れてってもらえて良かったです。
説明書きには足湯があると書いてありましたが、どこにもありませんでした。なぜ！？

洞爺湖で自由昼食でしたが、目の前のレストランは予約でいっぱい。少し歩いてお店を探しました。
その次の昭和新山のがお店沢山ありそうだったし、熊牧場やロープウェイなどあったので、そちらで長く時間を取って昼食のが良いのでは？と思いました。

氷濤祭りがとても良かったです！

There are many foreigners.
I was surprised.

I felt safe with the driver's driving.
I was impressed by how skilled he was.

The guide was also a nice person, and since there were no outlets on the bus, I was lent a mobile battery.
Thank you for a wonderful day!

外国人が多いです。
びっくりしました。

ドライバーさんの運転安心しました。
上手すぎて感動しました。

ガイドさんもいい方でバスにコンセントなどなく
モバイルバッテリーを貸して頂きました。
よい1日をありがとうございました！

The number of participants was small, and everything went according to schedule. It was sunny at first, but it turned into a snowstorm, so we couldn't see the view of Lake Toya at the end. However, the driver and guide were great, and we had a wonderful time. The lunch was very delicious, but I wish we had a bit more time. I really enjoyed the day. Next time, I would like to participate when the weather is nice.

参加人数少なく、スケジュール通り進みました。最初は晴れ、途中から吹雪となり最後の洞爺湖景色は見れませんでしたが、ドライバーさん、ガイドさんが良い方で楽しく過ごせました。
昼食がとても美味しかったですが、もう少し時間があればなと思いました。
1日満喫できました。
今度は天気の良いときに参加してみたいです。

It felt almost like Taiwan? The guide was Chinese. They provided information in Japanese as well, but it was very difficult to understand, making it feel like I was in China, which was disappointing considering I was in Hokkaido. I wish they had mentioned this when I made the reservation. The guide kept talking continuously in Chinese, which I'm not used to. I ended up feeling carsick for the first time in a while. In the end, I listened to music to block out the guide's voice.

ほぼ台湾？中国の方で、ガイドも中国人でした。
日本語でも案内はしてくれますが、凄く聞き取りにくく、中国に来てる感じで、なんかせっかくの北海道なのにと思ってしまった。。。
予約時に一言言って頂きたかった。
中国語は慣れてないのに、づーと喋り続けるガイドさん。
久しぶりにバスに酔ってしまいました。
結局、音楽を聴いてガイドの話が耳に入らないようにしました。

Good points:
The mushroom soup at the Mushroom Kingdom was very delicious. It really felt fresh.
The scallop hot pot and scallop rice for lunch were also quite tasty.
The breathtaking view from the Usuzan Observatory.
I was able to closely observe Showa Shinzan (a video camera or good binoculars are a must!).

Disappointing points:
If I could have extended my stay at the Mushroom Kingdom by another 10 minutes, I might have been able to try the "premium mushroom soup" (it apparently takes 10 minutes to prepare).
Although it's not related to the bus company, there were foreigners flying a drone at the Usuzan Observatory, and it was noisy. Isn't that illegal?

If the round-trip ropeway fee and lunch are included for this price, I'm very satisfied.
Depending on the snow conditions, I recommend wearing warm boots during this season.

良かったところ：
きのこ王国のきこの汁がとても美味しかった。いかにも採れたてって感じで。
昼食の帆立鍋と帆立ご飯もなかなか美味しかった。
有珠山展望台からの絶景
昭和新山を子細に観察できた(ビデオカメラor良い双眼鏡必須ですよ！）


イマイチだった点：
きのこ王国の滞在時間をあと１０分延長して貰えれば「プレミアムきのこ汁」を食すことができたかも(調理するのに１０分必要らしい）。
バス会社は関係ないが有珠山展望台で外国人がドローンを飛ばしてて五月蠅かった。違法では？

ロープウェイ往復料金と昼食が込みでこの料金なら大満足。
積雪状況によりますがこの季節は防寒長靴がおススメです。
