I had a great time. At first, I was a bit anxious because there were many tourists from China, but the guide's support was generous and kind, including explanations about the trip and guidance for lunch. When we gathered, I was a little worried because it seemed like the same place as other tours, but as long as I followed the guide and the flow of people, it was fine!
とても楽しかったです。
はじめは中国からの観光の方が多く不安でしたが、旅の説明も含め、昼食の案内などもガイドさんのサポートが手厚く親切でした。
集合のときも、ほかのツアーと同じ場所のようで少し不安でしたが、ガイドさんと人の流れに乗っていれば大丈夫でした!!

Honestly, I didn't have high expectations, but I had a great time.
This time, I traveled to Hokkaido with my sister. I really wanted to go to the Blue Pond, but there were only tours that included the zoo, so we participated in this one instead. The time spent at each stop was okay, but I was disappointed that we didn't have time to eat ice cream at Lake Shikotsu.
正直、あまり期待していなかったけど、とても楽しかったです。
今回は姉と2人での北海道旅行。本当は青い池に行きたかったけど、動物園とセットの物しかなく、こちらに参加しました。一つ一つの立ち寄り時間もまあよかったですが、支笏湖ではアイス等を食べる時間がなくなってしまい、残念でした。

I participated in April.
We traveled from Noboribetsu to Muroran, then to Lake Toya and Lake Shikotsu before returning to Sapporo.
Later, I found out that it was about 380 kilometers. I don't think I could have managed it on my own with a rental car.
The guide was very pleasant and made eye contact with each of us while guiding, which gave me a sense of reassurance.
I hope the following information will be helpful for those who will participate in the future.
- There is no restroom on the bus.
All the stops have restrooms, but there can be long intervals of about an hour and a half, so if you need to use the restroom frequently, I recommend managing your fluid intake.
- There are no power outlets or USB ports.
We left at 8 AM and didn't return until 6 PM, so a mobile battery is essential.
- Paid option for the bear ranch.
The bear ranch is combined with Showa Shinzan, but it lasts less than 40 minutes, so personally, I think it wasn't necessary. However, it's recommended for those who want to see Hokkaido's brown bears up close.
Also, the space between the seats was narrower than I expected, and the person in front of me immediately reclined their seat fully, so my knees were constantly hitting the seat in front. I think this is partly a matter of luck, but the cramped seating was tough during the long journey.
However, considering the price, I was able to visit so many tourist spots, so in the end, I was very satisfied! When I come back to Hokkaido, I plan to request another course from this company.
4月に参加しました。
登別〜室蘭〜洞爺湖〜支笏湖を周って札幌に帰ってきます。
後で調べたら約380キロほどありました。レンタカーではとても自力では回れなかったと思います。
ガイドさんもたいへん感じがよく、ひとりひとりアイコンタクトを取りながらご案内してくださったので安心感がありました。
以下の情報はこれから参加される方に幾らか参考になればと思います。
・車内にトイレがありません。
各下車スポットには全てトイレがあるのですが、間隔が長いところで1時間半ほどありますので、トイレが近い方は水分調整をおすすめします。
・コンセントやUSBポートはありません
朝8時に出て夕方6時まで帰ってきませんので、モバイルバッテリーは必須です。
・熊牧場の有料オプション
昭和新山とセットになっている熊牧場ですが、合わせて40分もありませんので個人的にはなくても良かったかなと思います。北海道のヒグマを間近でみたい方にはおすすめです。
あとはシートの間隔が思ったよりも狭く、しかも前の座席の人がすぐにフルで倒してきたためヒザが常に前席に当たっている状態でした。こればかりは運もあるかと思いますが、移動が長いため座席の狭さは身体に応えました。
ですがこのお値段でこれだけの観光地を回れましたから、最終的には大満足です!また北海道に来た際はこちらの会社の別コースもお願いしようと思います。

I had a day off during my business trip to Sapporo, and since I was in Hokkaido, I wanted to fully enjoy the great outdoors, so I found and joined this tour. It was as fun as the reviews said, and I'm really glad I participated. I was healed by nature! The guide, Onodera, was amazing! He was kind and shared a lot of interesting stories.

I absolutely do not recommend using this tour company.
I have used various travel companies and sites before, but this was the worst experience.
Despite making a reservation for a single passenger one month before the departure date, I was assigned a seat on the day of the tour that was an unfavorable aisle seat where I couldn't see the scenery out of the window.
Other seats on the bus were available for single passengers without anyone sitting next to them, so I was really frustrated and upset.
As a result, I could hardly see the scenery that the guide was explaining, ruining the value of the trip.
A well-organized travel tour would consider changing seats during the itinerary to avoid any advantages or disadvantages, but there was none of that here.
If I had known I would get such a seat from the seating chart at the time of booking, I wouldn't have made the reservation. Moreover, this tour was already overpriced, lacking meals, activities, or souvenirs, and I was completely dissatisfied to be charged the same price as everyone else for such a seat.
To make matters worse, I had to sit next to an unfamiliar elderly woman of the opposite sex in a cramped seat, who repeatedly dozed off and leaned on me during the journey, which was infuriating.
The final straw was the female guide.
She talked incessantly, and it seemed like she wanted to show off her proficiency in Chinese. She would take about two minutes to explain something in Japanese, then spend three times as long repeating it in a high-pitched voice in Chinese, which was utterly exhausting.
Even during the time outside of guiding, she chatted in Chinese with inbound Chinese tourists on the bus, making me want to tell her to be quiet!
In addition to Chinese, she also repeated similar guidance in broken English for inbound guests, making me wonder if this was even a domestic tour in Japan.
If this is the kind of tour guide they have, I would prefer to have her assigned to a bus exclusively for inbound passengers.
It was so noisy that it doubled my fatigue.
I will never use a tour company that lacks such consideration again!
ここのツアーは絶対利用しない方がいいです。
今までいろんな旅行会社、サイトのツアーを利用しましたが最低でした。
一名利用の予約を出発日の1ヶ月前にしたにも関わらず、当日のガイドから割り振られた座席が、車窓の景色が見えない不利な通路側。
バス内他の座席では隣席に人のない一名利用をさせていたので納得いかず本当に頭にきました。
おかげでガイドの案内する車窓の景色は殆ど見えず、旅の値打ちは台無し。
気の利いた旅行ツアーなら席を旅程中に入替え、有利不利などないように配慮しますがここはまるで無し。
こんな席だと予約時の座席表で分かれば予約などしませんでしたし、只でさえ食事もアクティビティも土産も何もつかない割高のツアーなのに、こんな席で全員同一の料金をとられたことに全く納得がいきません。
挙げ句に、狭い座席なのに隣席が見知らぬ年配女性と異性で、道中、居眠りを繰り返し何度も当方にもたれかかってくる始末で、怒鳴りたくなるほどでした。
極めつけは、添乗員の女性ガイドです。
とにかくよく喋ることこの上なく、しかも自らが中国語を堪能なことひけらかしたいのか、日本語で2分ほど話した内容を中国語でその3倍ほども時間をかけて延々と中国後で甲高くまくし立てて話すのにはほとほとうんざり。
ガイド案内以外の時間も、バス内のインバウンド中国人と中国語でお喋りする始末で、少しは黙ってろよ!と言いたくなりました。
中国語以外にも、カタコトの拙い英語でインバウンド客に同様のガイドを繰返すため、ここは日本の国内ツアーではないのか?と首をかしげたくなりました。
こういう添乗員ならば、いっそ、インバウンド乗客だけを乗せたバスに配置してもらいたい。
うるさすぎて疲れも倍加しました。
こんな配慮のかけらもないツアー会社は二度と利用などしません!

The destination was nice, but the road and facility guidance were a bit lacking, which caused me to get lost. At Jozankei Onsen, it was indicated that I could use the hot springs, but in reality, I had to walk quite a distance from where the taxi dropped me off, and I couldn't enjoy the hot springs. The driver said it would take about 5 minutes on foot, but it actually took around 15 minutes. It was cold in the snow. I think it's necessary to consider some improvements for staying at Jozankei Onsen during that time of year.
訪問先は良かったのに、道路案内、施設案内が少しお粗末で道に迷ったりしました。
定山渓温泉で、温泉入湯可能と記されていたのに、実際タクシーを下された場所からかなり歩かなければならず、入湯はかないませんでした。ドライバーさんは、歩いて片道5分と言ってたのに、実際は15分くらいかかりました。雪の中寒かったです。定山渓温泉の滞在時の工夫をあの時期は考える必要があると思います。

It was really enjoyable not having to deal with the hassle of arranging trains and buses; I could just ride the bus and visit various places.

If I have the opportunity, I would like to join another plan next time.

I was scared to drive on the snowy roads in Hokkaido during winter, so I signed up for a tour. It was great not having to drive, and I could enjoy some drinks during breaks!

On the day I went, about half of the participants were Japanese, and the rest were from China and the Philippines. The weather was nice, and the scenery was beautiful, making it a wonderful memory.

Since there were only one-third as many Japanese tourists, the guide provided information in three languages (Japanese, Chinese, and English), which was impressive. I'm glad I could visit various places. It felt more like quickly going to different spots rather than leisurely sightseeing. I went in late March, so it was particularly cold around the lake. I think it's best to be well-prepared for the cold.

It was a hectic 2-night, 3-day trip to Otaru and Sapporo, so I was looking for a simple tour that would allow us to get around efficiently. Unfortunately, on the 27th, there was terrible wind at Haneda, and one runway was unusable, causing our arrival in Sapporo to be delayed by about an hour and a half. We rushed in without even having lunch, keeping in touch by phone along the way. Given the rough start, I wasn't feeling very enthusiastic, but I was overwhelmed by the power of the Okurayama Jump Stadium. My perspective on ski jumping competitions on TV will definitely change from now on.
There was still snow, and since the dinner restaurant was far, I thought about skipping Mt. Moiwa, but I was captivated by the wonderful view from Sapporo Dome, which offers a panoramic view of the city. In just a short time, I was able to see an impressive view that I couldn't have accessed alone, and I was very satisfied.
On the way back, I was dropped off near the dinner location, for which I was grateful.
2泊3日の小樽、札幌あわただしい旅行でしたので、効率よく回れる簡単なツアーを探しておりました。あいにく27日は羽田のものすごい風で滑走路が1本使えず、札幌到着が1時間半ほど遅れてしまいました。途中から電話で連絡を取りながら、昼も取らずに駆け込みました。出足からこんな具合でしたので、あまり気が乗りませんでしたが、大倉山ジャンプ場についてその迫力に圧倒されました。今後TVのジャンプ競技を見る目が違います。
雪も残っており、ディナーのお店が遠いので、羊山はいいかなと思っておりましたら、札幌ドーム、市内一望の素晴らしい景色に見とれました。わずかの時間でひとりでは行けない圧巻の景色を見ることができ、大満足でした。

The guide was simply wonderful. I was impressed by how skillfully they switched between Japanese and Chinese, keeping both Japanese and inbound tourists engaged. They had a wealth of information, and although it wasn't my first time in Hokkaido, I learned many things I didn't know, making it a meaningful day. Unfortunately, at the end at Lake Shikotsu, two inbound guests did not return to the bus by the departure time. The guide made several trips back and forth between Lake Shikotsu and the bus, desperately searching for them, but ultimately, we couldn't make contact until the tour ended, leaving a somewhat unsatisfactory feeling about the tour. I hope the two of them are safe. Thank you to our guide, Onodera, and our driver, Hinata, for a fun tour.

First of all, even at the meeting time, neither the bus nor the tour guide arrived. I was worried along with a Japanese man who happened to be waiting with me, and when we contacted the company, there was no response. After waiting for a while, a Chinese man approached us, confirmed our names, and without any explanation, guided us to get on the Hiace. In silence, we picked up four more people at another meeting point and departed. The atmosphere inside the vehicle was heavy and silent. Unable to hold back, I asked the driver, who said he didn't understand Japanese well. At Jozankei Onsen, we were dropped off without any proper explanation, and I had no choice but to go to a nearby hotel to get a map. I at least wanted to know the location of the tourist information center. Overall, this cannot be called a day trip bus tour. While it was understandable that we ended up in a Hiace due to the small number of participants, I thought they should at least provide a guide who understands Japanese. In Otaru, there was no recommendation for shops or any guidance at all; we were just told where to meet and got off at a different location. The good thing about bus tours is that the guides show you famous places and introduce places to eat, allowing you to enjoy sightseeing even in unfamiliar areas. I regret participating in this tour, which is hard to call a bus tour. I believe it is standard to arrive before the meeting time and provide proper explanations, but opinions may vary, so this is just my personal impression.
まず、集合時間になってもバスも添乗員も来ない。たまたま一緒に待っていた日本人男性と、どうしたんだろうと心配し、会社に連絡しても、応答なし。しばらく待っていると、中国人男性が近づいてきて、私たちの名前を確認すると、何の説明もなく、ハイエースへ乗るよう誘導。無言のままもう一カ所の集合場所で、4人を乗せ出発。更に無言のまま車内は重苦しい雰囲気。我慢できずドライバーに聞いてみたら、日本語良くわからないとのこと。定山渓温泉では、まともな説明もなく車を下され、私は已む無く近くのホテルに地図をもらいに行きました。せめて観光案内所の場所位教えてほしかったです。一事が万事、どこをとっても日帰りバスツアーとは言えません。参加人数が少なく、ハイエースになったのはやむを得ないとしても、せめて、日本語の解かるガイドは付けてほしいと思いました。小樽でも、お勧めのお店とか、全く案内もなく、集合場所を指定され、別の所で下車しました。バスツアーの良いところは、ガイドさんが有名なところを案内したり、食事できるところを紹介したりして知らないところでも安心して観光出来るところではないでしょうか。今回のバスツアーとは言い難いツアーに参加し、後悔しかありません。集合時間前に来て、きちんと説明するのが当たり前だと思うのですが、意見には個人差がありますので、あくまで私個人の感想です。

I participated with my girlfriend. I was wondering whether to take the train from Sapporo, but the transfers were inconvenient and it would take quite a bit of time and money, so I chose the bus. This was the right choice. You might think it takes a long time, but it actually takes the same amount of time by train. It was inexpensive, and we could get off in the downtown area on the way back, making dinner reservations easy. We also got to see the much-anticipated penguin parade up close, which was really great.

I have been to Hokkaido more than ten times, but this was my first time participating in a day trip bus tour. I have been to Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya in the summer, but the winter scenery was breathtaking. The overall course setting was excellent, and both the driver and the guide were kind and attentive. The lunch was also great, and it was the best experience. I would love to participate again if I have the chance.
北海道には10回以上行っていますが、日帰りバスツアーに初めて参加しました。
支笏湖や洞爺湖は夏には行った事があるのですが、冬の景色は絶景でした。
全体的なコース設定も最高で、運転手さん、ガイドさんも親切丁寧で、昼食も良くて最高でした。
また機会があったら参加したいです。

I had a wonderful time enjoying the unusually warm weather for Hokkaido.
I was impressed by the clear waters of Lake Shikotsu and excited by the encounter with a herd of fawns, which allowed me to feel the richness of Hokkaido's nature.
Also, at Showa Shinzan and the Usuzan Ropeway, I lost track of time while exploring and unfortunately couldn't make it to the bear ranch.
The "mushroom soup" from the Mushroom Kingdom that the guide recommended was truly delicious, and the lunch was also very satisfying with its generous portions.
Thank you for a fun day!
北海道らしくない暖かさと天候にも恵まれて、とても楽しく過ごせました
支笏湖の透き通った水面に感激し、子鹿の群れとの遭遇に興奮して、北海道の自然の豊かさを感じることができました
また、一度行ってみたかった昭和新山と有珠山ロープウェイでは、あちこちを散策していたら時間が足りなくなり、熊牧場に行くことができず残念でした
ガイドさんに教えていただいた、きのこ王国の「きのこ汁」は本当に美味しかったですし、昼食もボリュームがあり大満足です
楽しい一日をありがとうございました

The three-day weekend coincided with the Sapporo Snow Festival, making everywhere bustling with activity. Foreign languages were flying around, and it felt like being in another country. About 20% of the bus tour guests were Japanese, while the rest were mostly Chinese. The bus guide was also Chinese, alternating between Japanese and Chinese for the announcements.
The highlight of our main destination, Asahiyama Zoo, was the King Penguin walk! When we arrived a little before the start time, we were guided by the staff to the end of the line. There was already a long queue, reminiscent of waiting for a star to make an appearance.
The group of a dozen penguins passed by in no time, and they were incredibly adorable. The polar bear was active, never staying still in the snow. We thoroughly enjoyed the snowy scenery at the subsequent sightseeing spots, making it a wonderful trip.
三連休と札幌雪祭りの時期であったこともあり、どこも賑わっていました。
外国語が飛び交い、まるで外国にいるようでした。
バスツアー客の2割が日本人、他はほとんどが中国人でした。バスのガイドさんも中国人で、日本語と中国語の交互で案内していました。
1番の目的地であった旭山動物園のハイライトはキングペンギンのウォーキング!開始時間少し前に行くと、係の人に誘導されながら列の最後尾に向かいました。既に長〜い列が出来ていて、さながらスターの登場を待つようでした。
十数羽のペンギンの御一行はあっと言う間に通り過ぎましたが、とても愛らしかった。
ポーラーベアは雪の中で、ひと時もじっとしていなくてアクティブでした。
その後の観光地でも雪景色を存分に楽しみよい旅になりました。

The guide was a woman named Onodera. She spoke broken Japanese and managed the tour beautifully for the Chinese tourists. She must be a naturalized Chinese citizen, but she was very friendly and casually spoke to me as well. I would definitely like to tour with her as my guide again.
小野寺さんという女性ガイドでした。片言の日本語を話されて、中国人観光客を相手に見事に車内を仕切っていました。帰化された中国人なのでしょうが、とても気さくで自分にも気軽に声をかけてくださいました。ぜひまた、この方のガイドで周ってみたいです。

The weather was nice, and the snowy scenery was beautiful, which was very soothing. The museum's night tour setting was interesting as well. Since it was a tour with plenty of time, I was able to fully enjoy UPOPOY.
天気も良く、雪景色も素敵で自然に癒されました。
博物館もナイトツアー設定が面白かったです。
時間に余裕があるツアーだったのでUPOPOYが堪能出来ました。

I planned a trip with the purpose of attending the Sapporo Snow Festival, but after receiving advice from my son’s wife, who has experience living in Hokkaido, I quickly booked a tour.
The scale was smaller compared to the Snow Festival, but it's hard to express in words, so please check the photos. The journey included encounters with deer and sights like Lake Shikotsu, making the trip to the venue full of highlights.
It seems you can also get there using public transportation, but considering the cold and the thought of waiting in line, it was a great success to follow the advice and go with the tour. The guide was very friendly and introduced us to various attractions, making for a truly enjoyable time.

I had been interested in visiting the Upopoy facility for a while, but transportation costs were a barrier, so I hesitated. However, this time I was able to participate at a low price. Since it was winter, it wasn't crowded, and I could enjoy the visit. I wished I had a bit more time since my stay was short. Compared to the previous facility, it was much more fulfilling.
前から興味のあったウポポイ施設見学したかったのですが、交通費がネックになって二の足を踏んでいましたが、今回低価格で参加できました。冬ということで混雑もしておらず見学できました。滞在時間が短かかったのでもう少し時間が欲しかった。以前の施設に比べると遥かに充実しておりました。

Dear Taku-chan,
Thank you very much for participating in the Sapporo sightseeing bus tour to the enchanting night Shikotsuko Ice Festival.
While it is possible to reach Shikotsuko via public transportation, the direct service from Sapporo is only available through bus tours, and the number of departures is very limited. Therefore, we recommend the bus tour for a guaranteed seat during your journey.
As you mentioned, if the timing is right, you can see the adorable Ezo deer, Shikotsuko, and the surrounding snowy mountains, making it a tour where you can feel the beauty of Hokkaido's winter even while traveling.
The Ice Festival tour has been well-received every year, and we plan to hold it again next year. If you have another opportunity, please consider the Sapporo sightseeing bus tours. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.
Taku-chan様

にご参加頂き、誠にありがとうございました。
支笏湖へは公共交通機関での移動も可能ではございますが、札幌からの直通便はバスツアーのみとなり、かつ運行本数も非常に限られておりますので
確実に座って移動できるバスツアーをおすすめしております。
ご記載いただいた通り、タイミングが合えば愛らしいエゾシカや支笏湖、周辺の雪山をご覧いただくことができ、
移動中も北海道の冬の美を感じられるツアーとなっております。
氷濤まつりツアーは例年ご好評をいただいておりまして、来年も催行を予定しております。
またの機会がございましたら、札幌観光バスのツアーをご検討くださいませ。
お忙しい中、体験談をご投稿頂き、ありがとうございました。
