Starting from Chitose's Meisui Park, we cycled along a forest trail to Lake Shikotsu. The way there was mostly uphill, and there weren't any notable sights until we reached the lake. We had lunch near the lake and took a detour on the way back through a gravel forest path. The guide wasn't very good at explaining things, so it felt like we were just pedaling the whole time. There were some nice restaurants along the cycling route, so I think the tour could be improved by including more interesting stops, places to have lunch, or introducing beautiful spots to make it more memorable. To summarize, I believe the tour should: 1) include breaks for meals at notable restaurants along the way, 2) stop at must-see sights around Lake Shikotsu, and promote events during specific seasons, such as the salmon run or autumn foliage, which would require considerable effort from the tour organizers.
千歳の名水公園を起点に支笏湖までの林間サイクリングコースを行き来します。行きはほぼずっと登りで、支笏湖到達まで名所らしいものはありません。湖近くでランチを食べ、帰りは砂利道の林間道に寄り道します。ガイドさんが説明下手ということもあり、ひたすら自転車を漕いだという印象。サイクリング途中によさげなレストランがあったりしたので、もうちょっと寄り道するところ、ランチを食べるところなど印象に残るような、またはきれいな場所を紹介するなど、ツアーとして工夫すべき点があるように思えました。整理すると、①途中の名所やきれいなレストランでの食事休憩を入れる、②支笏湖のここは見ておくべきという名所にも立ち寄る、イベント時期、例えば鮭の途上期や紅葉の時期などアピールするなど、ツアー側の相当の努力が要ると思いました。

Jun was a very good tour guide. I had a good time biking from Chitose to Shikotsuko and back. He gave me a choice for which off-road route to take on the way back as well. It was a very nice time. The bike was in great condition and Jun had even brought rain gear for me since it was sprinkling a bit (even though I had my own I wore this too just in case).
Thank you for your joining in tour and wonderful comment. I am very happy. See you again,in Hokkaido or USA?
