All Reviews for Top Hokkaido Attractions

Thank you so much, driver! I was truly impressed by the wonderful service. As Chinese travelers, we were worried that language barriers might hinder our itinerary, but you remained calm and kind throughout, which eased our concerns. I sincerely appreciate your thoughtful attention and gentle care during the journey. Your warm service made our travel memories even more special. Thank you for everything!

運転手さん、本当にありがとうございました！素晴らしいサービスに感動しました。私たち中国人は言葉の問題で旅程に支障があるか心配していましたが、運転手さんが終始穏やかで親切に対応してくださり、不安が解消されました。道中の細やかな気配りと優しいお心遣い、心から感謝しております。このような温かいサービスで、旅の思い出がさらに素敵なものになりました。本当にお世話になりました！

It was my first tour in Japan, and it was amazing. Since the bus tour seemed crowded, I opted for a taxi tour, which turned out to be a great choice. I was able to relax and enjoy the scenery. The driver was very kind, and thanks to him, I had a wonderful time.

日本に来て初めてのツアーでしたが、最高でした。 バスツアーは人が多そうなのでタクシーツアーを申し込み、これはとても良い選択でした。 のんびりと風景を楽しむことができてよかったです。 運転手さんもとても親切で、おかげさまで楽しい時間を過ごすことができました

I participated in a tour during the Spring Festival. There were probably only four Japanese people, and the rest were likely all Chinese. The tour guide was also a Chinese person who had been in Japan for two years. Anyway, the group was not punctual at all; we started late, and my concerns about the rest of the trip were confirmed as delays continued. A 10-minute delay was the norm. The only time we were on schedule was for the last restroom break at the service area. I felt sorry for the tour guide, who was anxious every time. Thank you for your hard work, especially when you hurried and stumbled!

春節真っ只中のツアーに参加しました。たぶん日本人は4人だけ。あとは、たぶん全員中国人。添乗員さんも来日二年目の中国の方。とにかく時間を守らない人達、先ず出発が遅れ、この先を案じるも期待を裏切らない遅れぶり。10分なんて当たり前。最後のSAのトイレ休憩が唯一時間通り。気の毒なのは添乗員さん毎回毎回気を揉んでました。慌てて転んだりほんとご苦労様でした！

Thank you for holding the welcome board and guiding us so well! You also took photos for us, and even though it was snowing and the roads were slippery, your driving was excellent and we had a great time! The ability to go only to the places we wanted was a major advantage.

I think I will use the VELTRA taxi tour again when I come back to Biei next time. To the driver who drove us that day! You were really good at driving and thank you for chatting with us. I hope to see you again. (I thought it would be rude to say it at that time, but you were very cute!!!! 🩷)

I highly recommend it to Koreans. You can book with confidence! Especially if you have a group, it's great because you can split the fare. Anyway, during the peak season, a bus tour costs around 100,000 yen, so just come to Biei and take the taxi tour!

ウェルカムボードを持って立ってくださってよく案内してくださってありがとうございました！！ 写真も撮ってくださって、雪も降って道も滑りやすかったのに、運転がとても上手で楽しんできました！行きたいところだけ行けるという点が大きな長所でした。

私は次回も美瑛旅行に来るときはVELTRAタクシーツアーを利用すると思います。 あの日運転してくれた運転手さん！ 運転も本当に上手で、声もかけてくれてありがとうございました。 次にもまた会いたいです. (失礼だと思ってその時は言えなかったけど、とても可愛かったです！！！！🩷)

한국인분덜 적극추천박습니다. 안심하고 예약갈기십쇼!
특히 인원 수 좀 있으면 엔빵하면 되니 짱꿀입니다.
어차피 성수기에 버스투어도 10만원 정도면 걍 비에이 오셔서 택시투어 하십시오-!

The itinerary was very tight but also very comfortable. The three lakes in Eastern Hokkaido, Tsurumidai, and Sulfur Mountain left a deep impression. It's perfect for foreigners visiting Eastern Hokkaido for the first time to understand the area, and I would choose it again for my second visit! The service was also very attentive!

行程非常紧凑，也很舒适，道东三湖、鹤见台和硫磺山都留下了很深的印象，很适合第一次来道东的外国人了解道东，第二次来也会选择！！！服务也很周到！！！！

It was a wonderful itinerary. The tour guide was very responsible. Thank you very much. I will recommend it to my family and friends, and I will choose your company again next time.

素晴らしい旅程でした。ツアーガイドはとても責任感があります。ありがとうございました。 家族や友人にもお勧めしますし、次回も御社を選びます。

Departing from Asahikawa Zoo and returning to Asahikawa Station, the round trip takes about 4.5 hours. We visited several attractions and captured the white beard waterfall at sunset. The transportation here is not very convenient, so if you have three to four people, renting a car is a cost-effective choice.

旭川动物园出发，旭川站返回，来回4.5小时，几个景点都走到了，拍到了落日下的白须瀑布，这边交通不方便，如果有三到四人的话租车是一个性价比很不错的选择

It was a wonderful experience! The driver was a really nice person and amazing! Even though I lost my cellphone and couldn't find it, the driver found it during the final check in the car and brought it to the restaurant, which was truly great.

素晴らしい体験でした!運転手さんはとてもいい人で、すばらしいです!携帯電話を落としても見つからなかったのに、運転手さんが最後のチェックで車に落ちていたのを見つけて、食事の店まで運んでくれたのは本当によかったです。

I made a reservation for four hours. Since taxi fares vary depending on the time, punctuality is essential. However, my taxi driver finished the schedule 15 minutes early. I was informed that I would have to exclude some plans because my proposed schedule exceeded the time, but I was disappointed that the tour ended early.

私は4時間の予約をしました。タクシー予約は時間に応じて料金が異なるため、時間厳守が必須です。しかし、私のタクシー運転手は予定を15分早く終わらせました。私が提示したスケジュールは時間を超過するため、いくつかの予定を除外しなければならないと案内されましたが、早くツアーを終えたことが残念でした。

I am truly grateful that the driver was very kind, shared various local information, and took photos for me.

ドライバーはとても親切し、いろいろ地元の情報を教えてくれたし、写真を撮ってくれたのが心から感謝しています。

The taxi driver was very kind and polite. It was my first trip to Hokkaido, and I had a lot of questions, but thanks to the driver, I was able to enjoy it even more.

タクシー運転手さんがとても親切で丁寧でした。初めての北海道の旅でわからないことだらけでしたが、運転手さんのおかげでより楽しめることができました。

The staff on the Akan Bus were very kind and provided detailed explanations while touching on the scenery, buildings, and history visible from the window. They repeated important information (like meeting times and procedures) to ensure nothing was missed, which was truly considerate.

Driving around in a rental car during winter can be dangerous, so I found the sightseeing bus to be very helpful for compactly visiting the highlights.

I don't mind sharing the bus with foreigners, but over 80% were Chinese... Was it because of the Spring Festival? Inside the bus, they were loudly eating snacks and having conversations with each other, and at the observation points, they monopolized photo spots for a long time without sharing, which was quite frustrating.

It might be that the Akan Bus Pirika is included as an optional tour for groups from China, but I would have liked to be informed in advance via email when there are such extreme numbers. I wish they could have arranged for us to sit separately.

阿寒バスの添乗をされていた方はとても親切で車窓から見える景色や建物、歴史などにも触れながら丁寧な説明でした。聞き漏らすことのないように大事なこと(集合時間や手順)は復唱してくださり本当に素晴らしい気配りでした。

冬場はレンタカーで自力運転して回るのは危険ですし、見どころをコンパクトに回れるので周遊バスはとても有難いと思いました。

外国人の方と混載なのが嫌なわけではありませんが、8割以上が中国人…春節だったから？
バスの中でバリバリお菓子を食べたり大声で前後の席で会話したり、展望台などではフォトスポットを長い間独占して譲り合うということもしないし酷かったです。

中国からのツアーでのオプショナルとして阿寒バスピリカ号が入っているのかもしれませんが、このように極端な人数のときは事前にメールなどで教えてもらいたいと思いました。
そうか席を分けるとかしてもらいたかったです。

In mid-January, I participated in this bus tour, and out of 47 people on the bus, 40 were from China. Each time we departed from different locations, there was about a minute of explanation in Japanese, but afterwards, the conversation continued in Chinese for 20-30 minutes. It created quite an alien atmosphere, and I constantly felt out of place on the bus. If this is such a foreigner-oriented tour, I would have appreciated being informed of this in advance as a precaution.

Additionally, outside the bus, I experienced behaviors such as people cutting in line and persistently pushing to get ahead during the lineup, which even caused some people to fall.

Throughout the tour, I often felt anxious and disappointed, but the personality of the driver and the guide was very good, and it was nice that they generally adhered to the scheduled departure times.

1月中旬こちらのバスツアーに参加し、バス車内47人中40名が中国の方でした。
各地出発の度に1分程度日本語で説明がありますが、その後は20-30分ほど中国語でのお話が続きます。かなりアウェイな雰囲気で、車内では常に肩身の狭い思いをしました。
これほど外国人向けツアーであるならば、注意事項として事前に教えていただきたく思いました。

また、車外でも列に割り込む、整列時も前に入るため執拗に押す等の行為を受け、転ぶ人が出るほどでした。

終始心細く残念な気持ちになることが多かったですが、運転手さんやガイドさんのお人柄は非常によく、基本的に定刻出発が守られており気持ちがよかったです。

Sapporo, our departure point, had little snow, but Asahiyama Zoo was a winter wonderland at -6 degrees, truly representing Hokkaido! Although it was a freezing world, as long as you dress warmly, the cold is not bothersome. The zoo was a place where I could watch the active animals for hours. We had just over three hours there, but it flew by as we ate and browsed for souvenirs. For those with children, it's best to start with the must-see attractions! The kids' snow play can slow you down quite a bit. The polar bears and seals are located on the opposite side from the main entrance, so it takes time to get there. The return trip on the highway was exhausting due to many road closures, taking nearly five hours, but I'm grateful for being safely delivered on the snowy roads without any accidents.

出発地の札幌は雪が少なかったんですが、旭山動物園は雪で-6度、これぞ北海道！！という天候でよかったです。マイナスの世界ですがきちんと防寒すれば気にならない寒さでした。動物園も活発な動物の動きに何時間でもみていたい場所でした。3時間ちょっと滞在時間はありましたが、ごはんを食べたりおみやげを見たりしているとあっという間でした。子供がいる方はこれは絶対見たい！ってところから回るといいです。子供の雪遊びでなかなか前に進めません。しろくまやアザラシは団体入口とは正反対の場所にいるので行くのに時間がかかります。
帰りの高速道路は通行止めが多く5時間近くかかり疲れましたが、事故なく雪道を安全に送り届けてくれたことに感謝です。

It was the first trip for my family to visit Japan. We hesitated but decided to take a taxi tour, and we were very satisfied. The guide was very kind and provided excellent assistance, and all of my family members are grateful.

Thank you, Asahikawa 500 A32-89.

初めて家族が日本を訪れる旅でした。躊躇してタクシーツアーをすることにしましたが、大満足でした。
記事の方がとても親切でよくご案内いただき、家族全員が感謝しています。

旭川500 あ32-89記事、ありがとう。

Winter is cold and tough for humans, but the animals are very lively and full of energy, which was a lot of fun. I recommend winter over summer!

冬は寒くて人間は大変ですが、動物達はとても元気で生き生きしていて、とても楽しかったです。私は夏より冬がおすすめです！

We booked a bus tour with minimal travel burden for our first trip to Hokkaido with kids, and it was definitely the right choice!

What impressed me the most was the bus guide's stories about Hokkaido's history and culture during the journey. I learned so many things I didn't know, and it was truly an enjoyable time! I fell even more in love with Hokkaido!

The driver's skills were excellent, and we arrived at our destination without feeling sick! It was the best tour!

子連れで初めての北海道、しかも冬ということで、移動負担の少ないバスツアーを申し込みましたが、大正解でした！

そして何より感動したのが、移動中のバスガイドさんの北海道の歴史や文化のお話です。知らなかったことを色々と聞けて、本当に楽しい時間でした！北海道が一層好きになりました！

運転手さんの運転もお上手で、酔わずに目的地まで着けました！最高のツアーでした！

I booked a plan to see the winter scenery of Biei from a hotel in Asahikawa and be taken to Asahikawa Airport in three hours. Nowadays, non-smoking taxis are standard, but I requested a non-smoking driver as I wanted to avoid those who smoke. The driving was careful, and he made appropriate toilet breaks, providing guidance when I asked questions (he wasn't very sociable, as he preferred to enjoy conversations with his spouse, which showed his thoughtfulness and was very nice). At the sightseeing spots, he offered to take commemorative photos, and we got some great pictures. I am originally from Hokkaido and know Biei well (I requested the taxi plan because I was anxious about driving on winter roads), but the route was efficient, and he delivered us right on time without any delays. I was very satisfied.

旭川市内ホテルから、美瑛の冬景色を見て旭川空港に送ってもらうというプラン、3時間で申し込みました。
今タクシーは禁煙がスタンダードですが、運転手さんは喫煙する方を避けたく、喫煙しない運転手さんをリクエストしました。
運転も丁寧、適宜トイレ休憩も入れてくれて、質問すると案内もしてくれました(あまり社交的ではない性格で、夫婦での会話を楽しみたい方なので、気遣いが感じられてとてもよかったです)
観光地では、記念写真も撮影を申し出てくださり、とてもいい写真が撮れました。
私は出身が北海道で美瑛はよくわかっていますが(冬道の運転が不安でタクシープランをお願いしました)ルートにも無駄もなく、時間を超過することもなく、ちょうどに送り届けてくれました。
とても満足できました。

I was attracted to the direct access to Asahiyama Zoo and signed up. The price was reasonable, and we had a bus guide who provided commentary only during the journey. This bus guide had a nice, relaxed vibe. I was satisfied.

直で旭山動物園へ行けるのが魅力で申し込み。
価格も安く、バスガイドさんがついてくれ、移動中だけガイドしてくださる。このバスガイドさんがいい感じに緩い笑
満足でした。

Considering how much you can do, it's an incredible deal! We stopped by Mushroom Kingdom before lunch, and since we were there, we tried the premium mushroom soup! The lunch seemed a bit lacking for men, so if you can eat, it might be a good idea to have something beforehand. The course to fully enjoy nature was truly the best!

こんなに回れることを考えると破格です！
きのこ王国は昼食前に寄りますが、せっかくなのでプレミアムきのこ汁を頂きました！
昼食が男性だと物足りなさそうな感じだったので、食べれる方は食べといてもいいかもです⭐︎
大自然満喫のコース本当に最高でした♩

The bus guide shared various stories about Hokkaido, which was both educational and enjoyable. It was great to see the winter version of Asahiyama Zoo's animals. Since it was my second visit, I was able to read the exhibits that I couldn't read last time at a leisurely pace. There was also plenty of time, allowing us to enjoy everything without feeling rushed. I was very satisfied to be able to eat delicious food at the rest area as well.

バスガイドさんがいろいろと北海道のお話をしてくれたのが勉強になったし楽しかったです。
冬バージョンの旭山動物園の動物達がみれてよかったです。2回目だったので、前回読めなかった展示などもゆっくり読めました。
時間も余裕があって、せかせかせずにゆっくりと楽しめました。
休憩場所でも美味しいものを食べれて、大満足でした。

The bus tour in sub-zero temperatures was completely different from other seasons, allowing us to enjoy the scenery and food unique to the cold period. There were many foreigners, but as a local, I also had a great time. Both Mount Usu and Showa Shinzan are representative volcanoes of Hokkaido, and the winter scenery was breathtaking.

氷点下というなかでのバスツアーは、他の季節とはまったく違っていて、寒い時期だからこその景色や食を楽しめました。外国人が多かったですが、地元民である私も存分に楽しめました。有珠山も昭和新山も北海道を代表する火山ですが、冬景色は圧巻でした。

I have visited Asahiyama Zoo many times, and I often use bus tours. This time, the guide shared a lot of information about the history of Hokkaido throughout the journey, which made it enjoyable. The zoo had already started the penguin walk, so I was very satisfied.

旭山動物園は何度となく訪れており、バスツアーを利用することが多いですが、今回のガイドさんは往路ずっと北海道のなりたちを含めてたくさんお話ししてくださり、楽しく過ごせました。
動物園は早くもペンギンの散歩が始まっていたこともあり、大満足です。

The taxi driver was very kind, and thanks to him, I was able to enjoy sightseeing comfortably. I truly appreciate it for allowing me to have only good memories about Hokkaido.

タクシーの運転手さんがとても親切で、おかげさまで楽に観光できました。 北海道についての良い思い出だけを得るようで本当にありがとうございます。

I have visited Sapporo in winter many times, but I challenged myself with a bus tour for the first time. The highlight was the Usuzan Ropeway, but upon hearing that the temperature at the summit was minus 10°C, I braced myself. The initial experience and sensation were truly moving. I strongly felt that I want to visit both Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya again in spring and autumn. The commentary through the earphones on the bus was also comfortable, and my wife and I confirmed that we had a fulfilling trip. Thank you for your assistance.

冬の札幌に何度も来てますが、初のバスツアーにチャレンジしました。
有珠山ロープウェイが最大の楽しみでしたが、頂上がマイナス１０℃と聞き、身を引き締めました。初体験の初感覚、まさに感動でした。支笏湖も洞爺湖も、また春秋に訪ねたいと強く感じました。
バス内のイヤホンの解説も快適で、妻と充実の旅を確認し合いました。
お世話になりました。

I participated on December 28th. I joined because I wanted to show my partner the Penguin Parade at 2 PM. Since it's only available in winter, I think it's worth seeing. There were many inbound tourists. I wished they would clean the restrooms more frequently. Some were so dirty that they didn't seem like Japanese toilets. 😭

12月28日に参加しました。連合いに14時〜のペンギンパレードが見せたくて、参加しました。冬しか見れないので、見に行く価値はあるかと思います。インバウンドの方が沢山います。お手洗いの掃除を頻繁にしてほしいと思いました。一部、日本のトイレと思えない位、汚れていました😭

I was blessed with clear weather during the winter tour and enjoyed the snowy scenery of Lake Shikotsu's blue waters. I was also satisfied with the experiences at the Usuzan Ropeway and Lake Toya.

雪の季節のツアーで晴天に恵まれて雪景色の支笏湖ブルーを楽しめました。冬の有珠山ロープウェイも洞爺湖湖も楽しめ満足出来ました。

The scenery exceeded all expectations throughout the entire journey. I highly recommend it. It was amusing that the Mushroom Kingdom was closed, but the troubles became part of the memories.

全行程で予想をはるかに超える景色でした。
お勧めします。
キノコ王国が休みだったのは笑えましたがトラブルも想い出になりました。

The penguin walk at Asahiyama Zoo was very good. I had planned my schedule to match this time. I wish I had a little more time.

旭山動物園のペンギン散歩はとても良かったです。
この時間に合わせて予定を立てくくれていました。もう少し時間があったら良かったかなぁ

I participated from a region where I don't see snow.

The snowy landscape was very beautiful. After visiting Lake Shikotsu, we took the Usuzan Ropeway to the summit. We were able to see a magnificent view.

Lunch by Lake Toya was visually appealing and the meal was satisfying for a tour, but if I could make one request, I would have liked a menu. The scenery at Lake Toya changed in an instant, but it was great to see the beautiful Lake Toya and the sunset from the Silo Observatory.

There were several drop-off points, which was very convenient. The staff were also polite and pleasant. I used the same company's regular sightseeing tour last year and it was great, so I would like to use it again next time.

Beltora offers many excellent tours both overseas and domestically, and I feel safe using their services. Thank you very much.

雪を見ることのない地域からの参加です。

雪景色、とてもきれいでした。支笏湖見学後、有珠山ロープウェイに乗り山頂へ。
壮大な景色を見ることができました。
洞爺湖畔での昼食は、見た目も綺麗でツアーの食事では満足できる内容のお料理でしたが、一つ注文させて頂くとしたらお品書きがほしかったです。
一瞬で景色が変わる洞爺湖でしたが、サイロ展望台からはきれいな洞爺湖と夕日が見られて良かったです。

降車場所も何か所かあり大変便利でした。乗務員さんも丁寧な対応で感じが良かったです。昨年も同社の定期観光を利用し良かったのでまた次回も利用させて頂きたいと思います。

ベルトラさんは海外、国内ともとても良いツアーがたくさんあり安心して利用させて頂いております。ありがとうございました。
