All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

We had great time on this private tour. Our guide was Shu-San who came with his car to pick us from our hotel and drove us to three different observation points. He was well equipped with a monocular and binoculars. His polite attitude and enthusiasm about Tanchos made our trip a memorable experience.

It was a packed schedule, but I'm glad everything went smoothly. The tour guide's explanations were spot on and easy to understand, and the recommended food was delicious.

盛りだくさんのスケジュールでしたが、スムーズに回れてよかったです。
添乗員さんの説明がバッチリでわかりやすくお薦めしてくれた食べ物もおいしかったです。

I visited Okurayama for the first time in 40 years. The snow was deep, and I enjoyed the wonderful scenery. I could see Sapporo in the distance and even recognized the area where the Snow Festival takes place. Winter in Sapporo is the best!

40年ぶりで大倉山に行きました。雪深く、素晴らしい景色を堪能しました。遠くに札幌を一望し、雪まつりの辺りもわかりました。冬の札幌は最高です。

It was a classic course, and the weather was nice, allowing us to have a great time. The veteran guide's explanations were very clear and helpful. This time we took the morning course, but if we had more time, I would have liked to join the afternoon course as well. Thank you for the enjoyable time.

王道コースでしたが、お天気も良く楽しい時間を過ごせました。。
ベテランのガイドさんの話もとてもわかりやすくよかったです。
今回は午前中のコースでしたが、時間があれば午後からのコースも行きたかったです。
楽しい時間をありがとうございました。

We set off amidst a snowstorm forecast, but we arrived as scheduled. The Sunagawa Highway Oasis along the way was full of temptations! Despite the heavy snow, we thoroughly enjoyed nearly three hours at Asahiyama Zoo. It was delightful to see the animals buried in white snow and those seemingly enjoying the snow, and the penguin walk was truly adorable and enjoyable.

On the way back, I think the crew had a really tough time with the highway closures, but they kept us informed about the situation, which made us feel at ease. I also appreciated the unexpected two bathroom breaks along the way.

It was challenging, but I can only express my gratitude for all the thoughtful considerations and responses. Thank you very much!

暴風雪予報の中の出発でしたが行きは予定通り着でした。
途中の砂川ハイウェイオアシスは誘惑がいっぱい🈵です！
大雪の中でしたが３時間近く旭山動物園を堪能しました。白い雪に埋もれている動物や雪を楽しんでいる様な動物、またペンギンのお散歩は本当にかわいらしく楽しめました。
そして帰り道、高速の通行止めやらで乗務員の方本当に大変だったと思いますが、状況を逐一知らせてくださったので安心していました。
途中予定外の2回のトイレ休憩もありがたかったです。
大変でしたがいろいろな気配りと対応に感謝しかありません。ありがとうございました。

First time at Asahiyama Zoo.

It was a long time since I visited a zoo, and I was very moved to see the animals up close. The highlight was the penguin walk, which was great, but what surprised me the most was the hippo. I was amazed by its size when I saw it swimming through the tank!

Also, the tour guide's information was very helpful, and I was able to spend about three hours from Sapporo to Asahikawa without getting bored. Thank you very much.

初めての旭山動物園。
身近で動物が見られて、動物園なんて久々でしたがとても感動しました。
メインはペンギンのお散歩でこれもとてもよかったですが特にびっくりしたのはカバ
水槽越しに泳いでいるところを見てその大きさにびっくり！
また添乗員さんの話もとても参考になり札幌から旭川までの３時間程度、飽きることなく過ごせました。
ありがとうございました。

Maintaining and very well organised. The tour guide was friendly and ensuring that all the members are well taken care of.

I was worried about traffic and the cold, but once I arrived, I quickly forgot about those concerns and was able to enjoy myself. It was an experience that could only be had on this tour.

渋滞や、寒さを警戒していましたが、着くとそんなことはあっという間に忘れて楽しむことができました。
このツアーでしか味わえない体験でした。

Due to heavy snowfall in Sapporo, I decided that individual sightseeing would be difficult, so I signed up for a bus tour that lasted about four hours. At the Okurayama Jump Stadium, which I had wanted to visit, there was a competition that day, and I was able to actually see ski jumping, which was very moving. During the ride, I could listen to the tour guide through headphones, which was also a nice touch. The next time I visit Hokkaido, I think I will try a different bus tour.

札幌市内が大雪で、個人での観光が難しいと判断し、約４時間のバスツアーに申し込みました。行ってみたかった冬の大倉山ジャンプ競技場では、当日大会があったため、実際スキージャンプを見ることができ、大変感動しました。車中では、イヤホンを使い観光案内が聞け、その点も良かったです。今度また北海道を訪れる際は、違うバスツアーに参加してみようと思います。

Visiting Noboribetsu Onsen and Lake Shikotsu during the snowy season can be quite challenging, so this tour was very convenient and great. There were several restroom breaks along the way, making the trip very smooth. The tour guide was kind and helpful, which was also a plus.

登別温泉や支笏湖に行くのは雪が多い季節は大変なのでこのツアーが、とても便利でよかったです。
トイレ休憩も途中で何度かありとてもスムーズでした。
添乗員さんが親切で良かったです。

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to our incredibly kind tour guide, Mr. Yagyu, and our bus driver, Mr. Sudou. Among the approximately 30 participants, there were only four Japanese people, but Mr. Yagyu provided us with attentive guidance, allowing us to enjoy the tour without any inconveniences.

I am especially thankful to Mr. Sudou, as I consulted him about the possibility of the train from Sapporo to New Chitose Airport being canceled due to snow the following day. He took the time to look into the bus routes and the train's operating status, showing genuine concern for our situation.

If there is another opportunity, I would love to meet them again.

最高に親切な添乗員の柳生さんとバスドライバーの須藤さん、大変お世話になりました。
30名程の参加者の中、日本人は4名しか居ませんでしたが、柳生さんは私達日本人にも丁寧にガイドして下さり、お陰様で何の不自由も無くツアーを楽しむ事が出来ました。
ドライバーの須藤さんには、翌日が札幌発新千歳空港行きの電車が雪の為運休になる恐れが有った為相談したところ、親身になってバスでの行き方や電車の運行状況を調べて頂き本当に感謝しております。
次の機会がありましたら是非またお会いしたと思います。

I used this service on a snowy day. Considering that someone with no knowledge of the area would be using public transportation, it was very convenient to be able to ride the bus and listen to the kind and detailed guidance from the tour guide while enjoying the sightseeing from the window.

At Okurayama, I was lucky enough to observe the practice of the ski jumping competition. At Hitsujigaoka, I was able to see the famous Clark statue, which made me very satisfied. The guide was truly professional and provided detailed and careful guidance. For this price and this level of service, I am very satisfied.

大雪の日に利用しました。
まったく土地勘がない人が公共交通機関を利用して刊行することを考えると、バスに乗りガイドさんの親切で丁寧な案内を聴きながら車窓観光できるのは、とっても便利でした。
大倉山では運よくジャンプ競技練習の見学もできました。
羊ケ丘では、有名なクラーク像も見ることができたし大満足です。
ガイドさんが本当にプロで、丁寧に詳細にガイドしてくださいました。
この値段でこの内容だったら大満足です。

The schedule and itinerary were well organized, so there was no need to worry about transfers, waiting times, or service interruptions like with train travel, making it very enjoyable. Even on snowy days, we could comfortably sightsee by bus, which was less physically demanding.

The snow-viewing hot spring experience while gazing at the snowy landscape was exceptional, providing a unique experience that can only be had in Hokkaido.

While some sightseeing spots felt like we had a short amount of time, I was glad we could avoid unnecessary shopping. It was a well-thought-out tour that allowed us to enjoy sightseeing without any worries. The transportation was smooth, and all the highlights were covered, making me feel like we made the right choice.

Our guide, Mr. To, was very kind and explained everything diligently.

I had a wonderful time, and I would definitely like to use this service again.

時間や行程がしっかり組まれていて、電車移動のように乗り換えや待ち時間、運休等を気にする必要がなく、とても楽でした。
雪の日でもバス移動なので安心して観光でき、体力的にも負担が少なかったです。
特に雪景色を眺めながら入る雪見風呂は最高で、北海道ならではの体験ができました。

滞在時間が短く感じる観光場所もありましたが無駄な買い物をせずに済んで良かったです。
何の心配もなく観光を楽しめるくらい、よく考えられたツアーでした。移動もスムーズで、見どころも押さえられていて、「これで正解だった」と思える内容でした。

ガイドのトオさんも優しい対応で一生懸命に説明してくれました。

とても素敵な時間を過ごせたので、ぜひもう一度利用したいです。

I signed up for this tour, which has a longer stay than others. However, three hours is barely enough. Even just securing a spot for the penguin walk takes up time, and you have to stand still in the cold. I recommend dressing warmly during the snowy season. There were also fun talks from the guide about Hokkaido's quirks, making it enjoyable beyond just the zoo. Thank you very much.

他のツアーよりも滞在時間の長いこちらのツアーに申し込みました。
しかし、３時間じゃ足りないくらいです。
ペンギンの散歩の場所取りでも、時間を使ってしまいます。しかも、寒い中じっとして。
雪の時期には、防寒をしっかりしていく事をお勧めします。
ガイドさんの北海道あるある話など、楽しいトークもあり、動物園以外にも楽しめました。ありがとうございました。

I was able to see many Steller's sea eagles and white-tailed eagles. Thanks to the high-performance binoculars I was lent, I was able to see their beautiful forms very clearly. Additionally, I also encountered deer and foxes, and I thoroughly enjoyed the drifting ice and the sunset. The explanations and guidance were flexible, and although it was only half a day, I had a very fulfilling time.

オオワシとオジロワシにたくさん会うことができました。
高性能の双眼鏡を貸していただけたことで、とても美しい姿を見ることができました。
また、その他にシカやキツネにも会うことができたうえに、流氷や夕日も十分に堪能させていただきました。
説明や案内も臨機応変にしてくださり、半日でしたがとても充実した時間を過ごすことができました。

Experience of going to find the Steller's Sea Eagle and the White-tailed Eagle
I thought it would be hard to find them, but surprisingly, they were flying around, which was a pleasant surprise.
I was able to confirm their differences with binoculars while being taught how to distinguish between them.

オオワシ、オジロワシを見つけに行く体験
なかなか見つからないのかと思ってたけど意外にも飛んでいてびっくり
それぞれの見分け方を教えてもらいながら双眼鏡で確認することができました

During my 3-night, 4-day stay in Sapporo, I used this tour for a quick morning outing. It was really great to easily visit various sightseeing spots in a place I wasn't familiar with, especially with the snow piling up! Our guide, Mr. Ishihara, was very warm and reassuring! The driver was also very courteous! At one point, I lost a ticket and caused some trouble, but they kindly reassured me not to worry, which I truly appreciated! Everyone was very satisfied. I will definitely use this service again!

3泊4日札幌滞在の際、午前中でサクッと回れるツアーとして利用させていただきました。
慣れていない土地で、雪の積もる中、色々な観光地を楽に巡れて本当によかったです！
ガイドの石原さんが、とてもあたたかく安心でした！運転手さんも丁寧な方でした！
途中、チケットを紛失したりご迷惑をおかけしましたが、気にしないで、大丈夫、と優しく対応していただき、本当にありがとうございました！みんな大満足です。また利用させていただきますね！

First of all, I would like to sincerely thank Driver Matsuzaki (I apologize if I misheard your name) for your polite and safe driving. The next day, I participated in a half-day sightseeing bus tour in Sapporo, and I was very happy when the driver recognized me and said, "You're the one from yesterday."

I also appreciate all the consideration you showed regarding my shoes. I was truly impressed when I saw the guide bowing his head while driving in response to the guide's "Thank you." He is truly a wonderful person.

The guide for the Sapporo city tour was also very helpful. Everyone, including the driver and the guide, was fantastic, making for a very enjoyable trip.

As for the bus tour itself, despite the long itinerary of 10 hours, I was able to fully enjoy the beautiful snowy landscapes of Lake Shikotsu, Lake Toya, and the Usuzan Ropeway, and the time flew by.

On the next day's sightseeing in Sapporo, the Okurayama Jump Stadium and the Shiroi Koibito Park were also very nice.

In closing, thank you very much to the driver and the guide for a truly enjoyable trip.

先ずは、松崎ドライバーさん（お名前を聞き間違えていましたら申し訳ありません）の、丁寧で安全な運転に心より感謝いたします。
次の日にも札幌市内午前半日観光バスツアーに参加しましたが、その際に運転手さんから「昨日の方ですね」と覚えていていただき、大変嬉しく思いました。
また、靴の件でもいろいろとご配慮いただき、ありがとうございました。
ガイドさんの「ありがとうございました」に合わせて、運転しながら頭を下げておられる姿を拝見し、本当に素晴らしい方だなと感じました。
札幌市内観光のガイドさんにも大変お世話になりました。
このように、運転手さんやガイドさんが皆さま素敵な方々で、とても楽しい旅となりました。
肝心のバスツアーですが、10時間という長い行程にもかかわらず、支笏湖・洞爺湖・有珠山ロープウェイと、それぞれの美しい雪景色を満喫でき、あっという間に時間が過ぎました。
次の日の札幌観光では、大倉山ジャンプ競技場や白い恋人パークもとても良かったです。
最後になりますが、運転手さん、ガイドさん、楽しい旅を本当にありがとうございました。

I went for the crane watching tour with Mr. Shuta. It was a wonderful experience. He was well prepared and provided telescope and binoculars. He was experienced in pointing out various wildlife along the route and finding good spots to view cranes at the right timing. Thank you.

My wife and I had a wonderful time together.

It was a snowy day due to the cold wave from the Sea of Japan, but fortunately, the snow stopped at Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya. We enjoyed a wonderful view from Mount Usu.

日本海からの寒波で雪の多い日でしたが、幸い、支笏湖と洞爺湖では雪が止みました。有珠山からは、素晴らしい景色を楽しめました。

Most of the announcements were in Chinese, and there were no announcements in Japanese. The content and timing of the announcements in English and Chinese were too different.

中国語での案内がほとんどで、日本語の案内はなし。英語と中国語の案内の内容と時間に差がありすぎました。

Since the snow was expected to be heavy, I was a bit worried about the optional tour with the bus, but it turned out to be completely fine. In fact, the tour was wonderful with the penguin walk, the icicles at the waterfall, and the beautiful snowy scenery.

Our guide, Mr. Wang, spoke in three languages during our travels, so I never got bored, and he also taught us how to navigate around the zoo. Thank you, Mr. Wang! The bus was clean, and his cheerful atmosphere was great as well.

雪がすごいだろうから、バスとかちょっと心配だったオプショナルツアーだけど、全然大丈夫でした。むしろペンギン散歩とか、滝のつららとか、雪景色とかとても素敵なツアーでした。
ガイドの翁さんがいろいろ移動中３カ国語でおはなししてくれたから、退屈することもなくあっというまで、動物園の周り方も教えてくれたりして、翁さんありがとう！バスもきれいで、翁さんの明るい雰囲気も良かったです。

I thought about going by public transportation myself, but it seemed a bit difficult, so I joined a tour. It was great to efficiently visit tourist spots that are hard to navigate on my own. The Okurayama Jump Stadium was more impressive than I expected, and there was a beautiful rainbow at just the right moment.

自分で公共機関で行こうかとも思ったのですが、ちょっと行きにくそうだったので、ツアーに参加しました。個人では生きにくい観光地を効率よく回ってくれたので、でツアーに参加して良かったです。大倉山ジャンプ競技場は思ったよりすごかったですし、ちょうど虹が出て素敵でした。

Shopping at the outlet was the most exciting! I couldn't cover everything in 90 minutes, but I focused on specific areas and made some great purchases. Overall, it was a lot of fun.

アウトレットの買い物が一番テンション上がりました
90分では回れませんが、ピンポイントで回って、良い買い物ができました
全体的に楽しかったです

I was able to visit various places, and it turned out to be a fun trip. The illumination at the Shiroi Koibito Park was especially beautiful, making it feel like I had come to a fairy tale world.

色々な所へ行けて、楽しい旅になりました
特に白い恋人パークのイルミネーションが綺麗で、おとぎの国に来たみたいでした

I knew that the Olympic Museum at Okurayama was closed, but I was disappointed that the lift was also not operating, so I could only go to the souvenir shop. I wished they had allowed us to leave earlier than planned to extend our time at the Shiroi Koibito Park.

Even so, everything is compactly arranged, and they also take care of your carry-on luggage, so I recommend it if your flight is in the late afternoon or later on the last day. If you're cutting it close, getting stuck in traffic can be a hassle. I saw about three groups leave early at the market.

大倉山でオリンピックミュージアムが休業は知ってたけどリフトまでやってなかったのでお土産屋さんにしか行けず残念でした。
そこで予定通りの時間滞在するより早目に撤収して白い恋人パークの時間を伸ばして欲しかったです。

それでもコンパクトにまとまってるしキャリーケースも預かってくれるので最終日に飛行機が夕方遅く以降ならおすすめです。
ギリギリだと渋滞にハマると大変。
市場で3組くらい離脱してました。

Most of the participants were foreigners. The bus was noisy, and there were a few people who didn't stick to the meeting time. We ended up running late, and at the Shiroi Koibito Park and Sapporo Beer Garden, we only had time to stand in line to buy souvenirs. Since the day-use hot springs and lunch were out of pocket, the cost-effectiveness wasn't great.

Walking through the icy tourist spots with limited time posed a risk of slipping, so I wouldn't recommend going in winter. The tour guide was able to communicate in three languages and provided clear explanations.

参加者はほとんど外国の方です。
車内は騒がしく、集合時間を守らない方もちらほら。時間がおしてしまい、白い恋人パークや札幌ビール園は、行列に並んでお土産を買うだけで終わり。日帰り入浴や昼食は自腹なのでコスパも良くないです。
時間のない中、ツルツルに凍った観光地を歩くため、転倒リスクもあり冬はおすすめしません。
添乗員さんは3カ国で対応して下さり説明も分かりやすかったです。

This time, we happened to have a small group for the tour. I'm so glad I went to the Okurayama Jump Stadium! It was great to see! The view from the observation deck was amazing, not only capturing the excitement of the jump but also offering a panoramic view of the city of Sapporo. The Hitsujigaoka Observation Hill showcased a winter wonderland unique to this season, complete with a statue of Dr. Clark, roasting marshmallows over a campfire, and it turned out to be a more enjoyable tour than I had imagined! ❣️

今回はたまたま少人数での催行。大倉山のジャンプ競技場、行って良かった！見て良かった！展望台からの眺めは、ジャンプ台の臨場感のみならず、札幌の街並みも一望できて最高でした。羊ヶ丘展望台は、この時期ならではの白銀の世界、クラーク博士の像、焚き火でのマシュマロ、想像以上の楽しいツアーでした❣️

This is a tour around the Sapporo city area. I was very satisfied with how efficiently we could see places that I normally wouldn't visit, as well as the low cost of the tour. The tour guide, Lily, was friendly and very approachable.

札幌市内近郊を巡るツアーです。
普段行くことが無い場所を効率よく見ることが出来ることとツアー料金の安さに大満足です。
添乗員のリリーさんも気さくな方でとても親しみ易かったです。
