All Reviews for Top Hokkaido Attractions

I was satisfied with the detailed explanations about Hakodate's history and local issues that you wouldn't typically learn from regular sightseeing. Although it was a one-hour course, we actually enjoyed it for about an hour and a half.

函館の歴史や地域の問題など、普通の観光ではわからない事を、詳しく説明してくださって満足です。
1時間コースでしたが、実際は1時間30分くらいで十分楽しめました。

I had only been to Hokkaido on group tours organized by travel agencies. I searched for a bus tour to visit my grandchild in Sapporo and decided to join this tour.

I was moved by the scenery at places I visited for the first time, such as Lake Shikotsu, Lake Toya, Showa Shinzan, and Mount Usu.

The journey from the ropeway to the observation deck was quite challenging for my husband and me, as we are over 70, but it was absolutely wonderful and has left a lasting impression on me. I'm really glad I participated in this tour. My grandchild in Sapporo said to come again. While I'm still healthy, I would like to join another Beltora tour.

Thank you to the driver and guide for your support!

いつも旅行会社の団体ツアーでしか北海道行ったことがありませんでした。札幌の孫に会いに行き、何かバスツアー🚌検索していてこのツアーに参加させて頂きました。
支笏湖、洞爺湖、昭和新山、有珠山初めて行くところばかりでその景色に感動しました😊
ロープウェイ🚡から降りて、展望台迄の道のりは、70過ぎの私達夫婦には大変でしたがもう素晴らしくて目に焼き付いています。このツアーに参加して本当に良かった。札幌の孫から又来てねとの事。元気な間に又ベルトラツアーに参加したいと思います。
ドライバーさんガイドさんお世話になりありがとうございました👵

The bus driver and guide were wonderful. It was my first time stepping foot in Hokkaido, and I truly thought it was a lovely travel destination. Although the schedule was a bit tight, I was glad that we could visit all the places I wanted to see. I went with the understanding that the flowers might be a bit early for the season, but I was moved by the magnificent nature of Hokkaido.

バスの運転手さんとガイドさんの対応が
素晴しかったです。
北海道の地に初めて足を踏み入れ、やはり
素敵な旅行地だと思いました。
若干タイトなスケジュールでしたが、行きたい場所を全て周る事ができ良かったです。
お花は時期が少し早いであろう事を覚悟の上で行きましたが、北海道の雄大な自然に触れ
感動しました。

You can efficiently visit tourist spots that are difficult to reach without a private car or rental car in just one day. The bus guide's assistance is excellent. Pirika is a tour that I can recommend to everyone, whether traveling solo or in a group.

自家用車やレンタカーが無いと行きづらい観光地を1日で効率よく回れます。
バスガイドさんのご案内が最高です。
ピリカは、一人旅、グループ旅行問わず、皆さんにオススメできるツアーです。

It would have been better if we could have stayed longer in each location, but the bus takes us efficiently. The bus guide provided various explanations and even sang songs, which was very nice. I wanted to take a walk to Bokkē at Lake Akan, but it seems a brown bear had appeared a few days ago, so the walking trail was closed.

各地でもう少し滞在時間が長ければもっと良かったですが、バスで連れて行ってくれるので効率が良いです。
バスガイドさんがいろいろ説明してくれたり、歌を歌ってくれたりと、とても良かったです。
阿寒湖ではボッケまで散策したかったのですが、数日前にヒグマがでたらしく、散策路は閉鎖されていました。

Despite the worries about the weather, we had a wonderful trip enjoying the Shakotan Peninsula from Yoichi! We went well over our planned schedule and, indulging ourselves, stopped by Seicomart. The trip for the two of us in our old age turned into a day filled with fun first experiences and became the best memory. Thank you, Ikuta Taxi!

お天気が心配な中、余市から積丹半島満喫旅が出来ました♪予定を大幅にオーバーして、わがままにも、セイコーマートまで寄っていただき、初老２人旅は、楽しい初体験にまみれ最高の想い出の一日になりました。
生田タクシーさんありがとうございました♪

Wherever I went, it was too early to enjoy the flowers. I guess it won't be good until July. If that's the case, I should have gone on a tour where I could eat sea urchin.

どこにいっても、花を鑑賞するには、早過ぎました。7月にならないとだめですね。
そんなことなら、ウニを食べられるツアーにすれば良かったです。

The driving was rough, and the attitude was unfriendly. Even when I said "please" and greeted them, there was silence... I at least wanted them to greet me back. Their outfit looked like casual wear, and since they smoked a cigarette during the break and got back in the vehicle right away, the smell of smoke filled the car. The guide, although not completely fluent in Japanese, did their best to explain, which was nice. The time spent at Asahiyama Zoo was too short, so I think it might be okay to skip the Seven Stars tree.

運転が荒くて、愛想が悪かったです。
お願いしますと挨拶しても、無言…
せめて挨拶くらいはして欲しかった。
服装も普段着みたいな格好で、休憩の際タバコを喫煙されてすぐに乗車されるため、タバコの匂いも充満しました。
ガイドのお兄さんは日本語がまだ完全ではないながらも、一生懸命説明してくださり
よかったです。
旭山動物園の滞在時間が短過ぎてたので、セブンスターの木は、特に省いても良いかなーと思います。

The zoo was nice, but I thought the slopes throughout the park might be tough for the elderly. I think it would be even better if they could allow for a more relaxed schedule. I believe it will be quite sweaty once June arrives. I opted for a plan without lunch, but I had to wait quite a while after buying the meal ticket, so I was cutting it close for lunchtime.

動物園は良かったのですが、園内は坂道ばかりで年寄りにはきついかなと思います。
もう少しゆったり回れる時間配分にしてもらうと更にいいと思います。
６月に入ったら汗だくになると思います。
昼食無しプランにしたのですが、食券を買ってかなり待たされたので昼食時間ギリギリでした。

It was great to see polar bears and seals up close, as well as Giraffe-san. I recommend the soft serve ice cream from the vendor outside the main gate. I was very satisfied to see the Blue Pond and Shiraito Falls.

シロクマやアザラシにきりんさんと近くで見れていいです
正門外の売店のソフトクリームおすすめ
青い池や白糸の滝まで見れて大満足でした

This was my first trip to Hokkaido, so I signed up for this tour. Among the 18 participants, only my husband and I, along with another couple, were Japanese. The foreign participants were also very respectful of manners, making it a very comfortable experience. I was grateful for the attentiveness of both the guide and the driver.

In the hotel lobby where we gathered, there were several other tour guides from the same company, making it difficult to find our tour guide. I had to ask about three people to locate them.

初めての北海道旅行でしたのでこちらのツアーに申し込みしました。
参加者が18名の内日本人は私達夫婦ともう一組のご夫婦だけでした。外国の方もマナーを守っておられてとても快適に参加できまし。
ガイドさんも運転手さんも色々と気を配っていてありがたかったです。

集合場所のホテルロビーで同じ会社の別のツアーガイドさんが何人がいたので参加ツアーのガイドさんを見つけるのが大変で3人ほど声をかけました。

I would like to make the following comments:
1. I wish we could have spent a bit more time at Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya. Especially at Lake Toya, since there is a lunch break, it might be tough, but if we had a little more time, I would have liked to take a sightseeing boat ride.
2. I understand that the toilet breaks are necessary, but before lunch at "Mushroom Kingdom," the guide recommended "mushroom soup," which I tried. However, the miso soup at lunch by Lake Toya was also "mushroom soup." I think there is room for reconsideration regarding the location and timing of the toilet breaks.
3. The guide from Chuo Bus was pleasant and friendly, just like during the half-day course I participated in last year (2024). I really felt their professionalism.

以下コメントさせていただきます。
①支笏湖、洞爺湖の滞在時間をもう少し取ってもらいたかった。
　特に洞爺湖は昼食時間があるので、厳しいのかと思いますが、
　もう少し時間があれば、観光船への乗車をしたかったです。
②トイレ休憩の関係もあるので、致し方なしと思いますが、
　昼食前の「きのこ王国」でガイドさんから「きのこ汁」を進められたので、
　食したのですが、洞爺湖の昼食の味噌汁も「きのこ汁」でした。
　トイレ休憩の場所と時間は、再考の余地ありと思いました。
③中央バスのガイドさんは、去年(2024年)参加した半日コースの時も、
　今回の時も感じが良く、親近感を持って接してくれるところは、
　さすがにプロだと思いました。

It was unfortunately rainy, but it was great that they took us by bus. Both the guide and the driver were very pleasant, and we had a very meaningful time. Personally, I really enjoyed the bear ranch! It was adorable to see them catch cookies!

あいにくの雨でしたが、バスで連れて行ってくれるのはよいことです。
ガイドさんもドライバーも感じのよい方々で大変有意義な時間を過ごせました。
個人的にはクマ牧場が楽しかったです！
クッキーをナイスキャッチする姿が可愛いかったです！

The weather was favorable, and each lake was very beautiful. The bus guide shared various stories throughout the trip, which were very interesting. We had about two hours at Lake Akan, but after having a meal and exploring the area, we barely had enough time. Considering it was a precious opportunity to enjoy the hot springs, I thought it would be difficult to fit everything in without cutting something out (the day-use hot springs are paid, and there are rental towels available).

天気に恵まれて各湖はとてもキレイでした、バスガイドさんは、終始いろんな話をしてくれてとても興味深かったです
最後の阿寒湖は2時間ほどあったんですが、食事と周辺散策すると、ほぼ時間が足りなかった、せっかくの温泉なので少しそちらもと考えると、何かを削らなくては難しいと思った（日帰り温泉は有料で貸しタオルも有）

It was a fulfilling day! The number of participants in the tour was fewer than I expected, but it was great to visit various places rather than going around individually. Lake Shikotsu was very beautiful. I initially didn't have high expectations for lunch, but it turned out to be really luxurious and delicious. If I have the opportunity to come again, I would like to try other tours as well!

充実した一日になりました！
ツアーに参加した人数は思っていたより少なかったですが、あちこち個人でまわるよりいろんなところに行けたのはとても良かったです。支笏湖はとても美しかったです。昼食は、はじめはそんなに期待してなかったのですが、本当に豪華で美味しかったです。また来る機会があれば、他のツアーにも参加してみたいと思います！

I stopped by the four shops because they had different souvenirs. Just be careful about running out of time at the end.

売店4店舗ちがうお土産があるので寄りました。
最後時間切れに注意です。
🐻ྀི🐻ྀི🐻ྀིゾーンをダッシュで通りました。

The timing of the trip was a bit early.
The hamburger for lunch was very delicious.
It rained lightly in the afternoon, but overall it was enjoyable.

旅行の時期が少し早かったです。
昼食のハンバーグはとても美味しかったです。
午後に小雨でしたが概ね楽しかったです。

It was a very enjoyable bus tour.
At Asahiyama Zoo, we were able to see the polar bear's feeding time. If we had a little more time, we could have seen the feeding times of various animals—what a shame!
The Blue Pond was really blue. (@_@)
Shirahige Falls was also beautiful.
Our tour guide, the charming Ayaki, was fun.
Thank you to the driver for sharing so much information with us.

たいへん楽しいバスツアーでした。
旭山動物園ではホッキョクグマのもぐもぐタイムを見れました。もう少し時間が有ればいろんな動物のもぐもぐタイムを見れたのに〜残念！
青い池はホントに青かったです。(@_@。
白鬚の滝も綺麗でした。
添乗員の艷やかな艶輝さん楽しかったです。
運転手の方もいろいろとお教え戴きありがとうございました。

It was great to efficiently visit the main tourist spots from Asahiyama Zoo to Furano and Biei. The guide who accompanied us (Chinese, I couldn't catch their name) provided a clear and easy-to-understand explanation in polite Japanese, and we also enjoyed the experience of having a simultaneous interpretation in English and Chinese, which made us feel like we were abroad. On the way back, we even encountered a red fox by chance. I plan to use this service again if I have the opportunity.

旭山動物園から富良野～美瑛方面主要観光スポットを効率よく回れてとても良かったです。添乗してくれた方（中国人、名前聞き取れなかった（涙））のガイドも丁寧な日本語で分かりやすく、またひとり同時通訳で英語、中国語と３か国語のガイドで海外の気分も味わえました。帰りの道では、偶然キタキツネにも遭遇しました。機会がありましたらまた利用しようと思います。

Thank you very much for this time. We had a wonderful time 🎵 Everyone was smiling from the fun conversations. The guide was very knowledgeable about the Trappistine Monastery, making it a meaningful experience. Everyone was happy and said they would like the same driver next time 🎵

この度は本当にありがとうございました。楽しいお時間を過ごすことができました🎵楽しいお話にみんな笑顔でした。トラピスチヌ修道院にとても詳しいご案内で有意義なお時間でした。また次回も同じドライバーさんがいいな🎵とみんな喜んでいました。

Thank you very much for this time. I was able to enjoy a wonderful sunset and night view. The driver was kind and the guidance was excellent. I look forward to working with you again.

この度は本当にありがとうございました。素晴らしい夕陽と夜景鑑賞ができました。ドライバーさんが親切でご案内も素晴らしかったです。またよろしくお願いいたします。

I was able to efficiently cover a route with quite a distance. Thank you to the driver for safe driving. The guide also provided detailed explanations, which were wonderful. The time allocation for sightseeing was just right. During the journey, I was amazed by the quick alerts about the red-crowned cranes, foxes, and deer we encountered (laughs). I enjoyed both the sightseeing and the views from the car window.

かなり距離のある行程を効率よく回ることができました。運転手さん安全運転ありがとうございました。ガイドさんも詳しく説明してくださり素晴らしかったです。観光の時間配分もちょうどよかったです。道中、丹頂鶴、キツネ、鹿などが居ると素早く教えてくれて察知能力にびっくり(笑)観光も車窓からの景色も楽しむことができました。

Thank you for your help on May 26. I thought it wouldn't be too crowded since it was a Monday, but the observation deck at Mount Hakodate was really busy. Since I was traveling with my elderly parents, we used a sightseeing taxi, and it was truly the right decision. The driver kindly took photos for us and guided us to a spot where we could see the night view along an easy-to-walk route, even through the crowds. I am very grateful. My parents were happy, and I was able to show my appreciation to them.

5月26日にお世話になりました。月曜日なのでそんなに混んでいないかなと思っていましたが、函館山の展望台はとっても混んでいました。年老いた両親を連れての旅だったので、観光タクシーを利用したのですが、本当に大正解でした。運転手さんが親切に写真を撮ってくださったり、人混みでも歩きやすい経路で夜景が見えるところまで連れて行ってくださったりで、感謝、感謝です。両親も喜んでくれて、親孝行できました。

The tour started on time. Our tour guide, Tou, is knowledgeable, and his ability to speak three languages was very helpful for us to understand the information about the sites we visited. He is a true asset! Please extend our big thank you to Tou for being patient with us and for recommending the best ice cream to try (Kitakaro) at Sapporo Airport! Also, a big thank you to our driver.

The blue lake was awesome! A must-visit site in Biei!

It was my first visit to Asahiyama Zoo in 10 years. The bus was comfortable, the guide's explanations were easy to understand, and the zoo was not crowded, so I was able to enjoy it thoroughly, even having extra time to spare. On top of that, I was able to hear the clock tower's bell at 6:00 PM, which was a nice bonus.

10年ぶりの旭山動物園でした。バスもゆったり、添乗員さんの説明もわかりやすく動物園も空いていた為時間を持て余すくらい十二分に楽しめました。おまけに、時計台の18:00の鐘も聞くことができ、お得(?)でした。

The weather was wonderful, and the content of this bus tour was excellent. I accompanied my family on a work trip to Hokkaido and enjoyed my free time to the fullest. The female bus driver drove carefully, and the tour guide was friendly, very kind, and had enjoyable conversations, making for a pleasant trip. Thank you very much. I definitely want to participate in the tour again.

お天気にも恵まれ、今回のバスツアーの内容にも恵まれて最高でした。
家族の仕事で北海道に帯同して自由な時間を満喫しました。
女性バスドライバーさんの運転は丁寧、添乗員さんは親しみやすくとても親切でトークも楽しく気持ちの良い旅行を過ごさせていただきありがとうございました。
又、必ずツアーに参加したいと思います。

The weather wasn't great, but I was able to enjoy everything. Mr. Wang spoke in three languages, making it a worldwide trip, and at the blue pond, which I wanted to visit the most, the rain stopped, and I was able to see the beautiful blue— it was amazing! We disbanded almost on time; it was a good trip. Thank you very much.

お天気があまりでしたが、全て楽しむことが出来ました。王さんが3ヶ国語で喋って下さり、ワールドワイドな旅でしたし、1番行きたかった青い池では雨も止み、綺麗なブルーを見ることができて最高でした！
ほぼ時間通りに解散、いい旅でした。
ありがとうございました。

The scenery is amazing! The clear blue of Lake Shikotsu is truly beautiful. The bottom of the kayak is transparent, so I wanted to take my time looking at the lake bed, but there was so much moving around in the kayak that I didn't have much time to relax and enjoy it, which was a bit disappointing.

景色は最高！支笏湖のクリアブルーが本当に美しいです。カヤックの底が透明なので、もっとゆっくり湖の底を見たかったのですが、カヤックでの移動が多くてあまりのんびり見ている時間が無く、慌ただしいのが残念でした。

I used this service for a family trip. When I communicated the places I wanted to visit in advance, they thoughtfully considered the travel time and planned accordingly. On the day of the trip, they even took us to good spots along the way and suggested new sightseeing locations when it seemed we had some extra time. We enjoyed a fun day filled with informative and interesting stories about Hokkaido while in the car. My parents seemed to have a great time as well. I would like to request their tour guidance again the next time I go sightseeing!

家族旅行で利用しました。
行きたいところを事前にお伝えすると、丁寧に所要時間やプランを考えていただきました。
また当日は行く道中に良いスポットがあると立ち寄っていただけましたし、少し時間が余りそうだと新たな観光場所をご提案いただけました。
車内でも北海道に関する為になるお話、面白いお話で楽しい１日を過ごすことができました。
両親も満喫できたようです。
また次に観光するときには、観光案内をお願いしたいです！

The scenery from Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya was very beautiful!
Also, I enjoyed a delicious lunch.
Thank you! 😊

支笏湖、洞爺湖からの風景とても良かったです♪
また、昼食も美味しく頂きました。
ありがとうございました😊
