All Reviews for Top Hokkaido Attractions

I participated on Tanabata Day, July 7th. The guide, Mr. Isobe, a true Hokkaido native, shared enjoyable and very informative stories. His calm voice was also pleasant to listen to. With nearly 30 years of experience, his professionalism was truly refreshing. Driver Takahashi was also kind. I was impressed by the way he talked about the cat at Iwase Farm, expressing sympathy when it was startled by the bus engine. It was my first time at Asahiyama Zoo, and I found the animals to be very close, allowing for great photos even without a telephoto lens. It was a fun trip.

7/7の七夕の日に参加
ガイドの磯部さん、生粋の道産子さんの話は楽しく、とても参考になりました。
また、静かな声で声もいい。
30年近くのキャリアでいらっしゃると思いますが、プロの仕事ぶりはそれは気持ちのいいものでした。
高橋ドライバー、この方も優しいのです。
岩瀬牧場にいた猫が、バスのエンジンをかけて驚いた時に、それは可哀想なことをしたなぁと話している姿が印象的でした。
旭川動物園も初めてでしたが、動物との距離がとても近く、望遠レンズではなくても写真が取れました。楽しい旅となりました。

I used the service for two consecutive days, and it was reassuring to have the same driver. Since they were experienced, the information provided was appropriate, and it was nice that they didn't talk too much. The time management was also good, and I was able to enjoy myself thoroughly.

2日続けて利用したのですが、同じドライバーさんが来てくれて安心感がありました。経験を積んだ方なので案内の情報は適切で、話過ぎないのもよかったです。時間の配分もよく、充分に楽しめました。

Thank you very much.
Both the guide and the driver were friendly and engaging!
It was enjoyable not only as a sightseeing tour but also for connecting people from Japan and abroad.
Making new friends became one of the highlights of the tour.

ありがとうございました
ガイドさんも運転手さんも気さくに話をしてくれました！
観光ガイドだけでなく、日本と海外の方、人と人も繋いでくれて楽しかったです。
新しい友達ができるのもツアーの楽しみの一つになりました。

Since it was my first time in Hokkaido and I couldn't drive, I used this tour. I'm glad I was able to visit places like the Blue Pond and waterfalls that I definitely wouldn't have been able to reach on my own.

北海道には、初めてきたのと車が運転できないのでこちらのツアーを利用しました
青い池や滝など自力では、絶対にいけないところに行けて良かったです

It was indicated that there was no guide, but there was one. The conversation was enjoyable.
The Herb Garden Furano did not have a herb garden; it was just a drive-in with food and a souvenir shop.

ガイドはないとの表示でしたが、ありました。話は楽しかったです。
ハーブガーデン富良野は
ハーブガーデンは無くて
食事とお土産やさんだけのドライブインでした。

The guide and driver were very accommodating, and I had a great time.

However, I felt that the duration from 8 AM to around 3 PM was quite long, and it might be better to have a shorter course. In particular, I found the stop at Lake Kussharo to be less appealing. On the other hand, I believe everyone would be interested in the sightseeing boat at Lake Akan, so it would be better to allocate time effectively for that, which would also reduce the guide's explanation workload.

ガイドさん、運転手さん、対応がよく楽しい時間を過ごせました。

ただ、朝8時～夕方15時位と、時間が長いので、もう少し短時間のコース設定でもよいのではと思いました。
特に屈斜路湖での停車場所はあまり魅力的ではないと感じます。
逆に、阿寒湖の観覧船は皆さん興味があると思いますので、うまく乗れるような時間配分にしたほうが、ガイドさんの説明の手間が省けてよいと思いました。

The Shikotsu Lake and Toya Lake course has other options, but this course includes a sightseeing boat on Shikotsu Lake (additional charge), where you can see Ezo chub and columnar jointing through a glass-bottom boat, which was great.

支笏湖、洞爺湖コースは他にもありますが、こちらのコースは支笏湖遊覧船（別料金）があり、グラスボートでエゾウグイや柱状節理をみたりできるので良かったです。

I used this service for the first trip with my elderly mother, who has difficulty walking. From the time of booking to the day before, and even on the day of the trip, we received thoughtful care, including guidance at tourist spots, photo opportunities, and being taken to recommended lunch places.

We also stopped by shops and supermarkets that weren't on the itinerary to look for seasonal asparagus. It was a comfortable trip that we could enjoy even without walking much, and my mother, who was worried before going out, said that she would like to go again if it's like this.

I had given up on seeing the lavender because I thought it was too early, but I was happy to see that it was just starting to bloom. I would like to request this service again if the opportunity arises.

脚の悪い高齢の母と初めての二人旅で利用させていただきました。
予約時から前日の連絡、当日も観光地での案内や写真撮影、おすすめの昼食場所に連れていってくださったりと、細やかな心遣いをいただきました。
また旬のアスパラガスを求めて、予定になかったお店やスーパーも立ち寄っていただきました。
たくさん歩けなくても楽しめる快適な旅で、出かけるまで心配していた母も、これならまた行けると話しています。
ラベンダーは早すぎと諦めていましたが、薄っすら色づいていたのでうれしかったです。
機会があったらまたお願いしたいです。

I participated because it was packed with places I wanted to visit. Although the weather was unfortunate, the tour guide shared various information and had enjoyable conversations with us. The tour progressed on time, and I was able to return earlier than expected, making it a satisfying experience!

行きたかった場所が詰まっていたので参加させてもらいました。
あいにくの天気ではありましたが、いろんな情報も教えてもらいながら、楽しいお話もしてくださった添乗員さんも、時間通りにすすんで思った以上に早めに帰れて満足できたツアーでした♪

On a weekday with less than ideal weather, the crowd was just enough that if you waited a bit, you could take good photos. On weekends, it seems that even getting into the parking lot can be quite a struggle, and things may not go according to schedule. I think it's best to participate with some extra time to spare. The tour guide, who has visited many times for work, was very kind and, although they mentioned they couldn't provide a full guide service, they shared recommended spots and popular souvenirs. The bus was nice, and with careful driving, I didn't experience any motion sickness, which I had been worried about.

平日で天気が良くなかったので、少し待てば良い写真が撮れる程度の混雑具合でした。休日だと駐車場に入るのも一苦労のようで、スケジュール通りに進まない事があるようです。時間に余裕を持っての参加が良いと思います。何度も仕事で訪れている添乗員さんはとても親切で、ガイドは出来ないとおっしゃりながらもおすすめスポットや人気のお土産を教えて下さいました。良いバスと丁寧な運転で、心配していた車酔いも全くありませんでした。

Mother-daughter trip to Asahikawa.
Since there wasn't a tour that covered all the places we wanted to visit and I couldn't drive, we decided to use this plan.

The local guide was knowledgeable and shared a lot of information in a fun way. They thoughtfully created a plan based on the weather and even took photos for us when we arrived at each spot... We had a truly happy and enjoyable time.

We didn't have many photos of just the two of us, so we created some wonderful memories.

At first glance, the price might seem a bit high, but it's actually a great deal! Chartering a taxi is worth it.

Thank you to the driver from Asahikawa Goudou Jidousha.

母娘初旭川旅。
行きたいところを全部おさえたツアーがなく
車は運転できないため、こちらのプランを利用させていただきました。

地元に精通し、たくさんの情報を楽しくお話してくださり、お天気に合わせたプランを丁寧に考えてくださったり、スポットに着いた際にまず写真を撮ってくださったり‥‥大変幸せ、たのしい時間を過ごせました。

なかなか2人の写真もなかったので、
良い思い出が増えました。

数字だけ見たらちょっと値段は高く感じるかもしれませんがこれは安い！
タクシーチャーターハマります。

ありがとうございました。

Hello~
It was a bit too packed and tiring.
The lunch buffet was hectic, and there were too few dishes that suited my taste.
There shouldn't be breaks every 10 minutes.

Finally, the crew instructed us to put our trash in the trash cans at the service area.
It felt like they were saying that. I didn't comply, but they were specifying where to throw it away.
I'll be contacting the highway corporation; this is the worst.

こんにちは〜
チョット詰め込みすぎて疲れる
昼のビュッフェランチが忙しなくて
食べる料理が少なすぎて口に合わない、
休憩も10分刻みはないだろう、

最後に乗務員がゴミはサービスエリアの
ゴミ箱に入れてくれと指示してた、
言ってる様な感じでした，私は従わなかったが
ゴミ箱の位置まで指定して捨てさせてた、
道路公団に連絡してきますね、最悪

Since it was my first time participating from Kyushu, I was really worried about the weather in Hokkaido. As expected, it was colder than I thought, and I felt chilly in short sleeves, so I ended up wearing a jacket. The forecast didn't predict any rain, so I didn't bring an umbrella, but it actually drizzled a bit, which made me anxious. Having a folding umbrella and a compact jacket is definitely not a burden, and it's better than regretting being cold.

I thought that the photo spots were places I would never go to if I were using my own car instead of a bus tour, so that's one of the great things about the bus tour! The guide was experienced, so I was impressed by how they said things like, "I recommend this here," or "The restroom over there is busier than this one." They provided great tips, like when it's best to use the restroom and that it’s better to hold off on snacks for now. I think those insights are skills that only a veteran can provide. I had no complaints other than the meals, so I would love to talk with this guide again. Thank you very much!

九州から初参加だった為、北海道の天気がどんな感じか本当に不安でした。案の定思ったより寒くて、半袖では寒く上着を着て過ごしました。雨も予報にはなかったので持って行ってなかったら、実際少しパラついててヒヤヒヤしました。折り畳み傘とコンパクトに出来る上着はあって困る物ではないし、寒くて後悔するよりマシです。
写真撮影する場所はバスツアーじゃなくて自家用車だったら絶対行かない場所だったよなーって思ったので、それはバスツアーのいい所ですね！ガイドさんも慣れてる方だったので、「ここではこういう物がオススメです」とか「そっちよりこっちのトイレの方が混まないです」とか慣れてるのが凄い！と思いました。どのタイミングで絶対トイレに行っておくといいとか、今はまだオヤツで我慢しておくべきとか、案外言われないと気付かない点は、ベテランさんじゃないと出来ない技なのかなと思います。食事以外に不満はないので、このガイドさんならまたお話ししたいと思いました。本当に有難う御座いました！

I participated on June 23rd. Since it was my first time on a day trip bus tour, I joined with both expectations and anxieties. Lunch was a free meal plan.

We visited various attractions throughout the day, and we were able to do so efficiently. I recommend it for those who want to enjoy the scenery. The bus for transportation was comfortable and pleasant.

The sightseeing time at each point was just right, neither too much nor too little. However, be careful during lunch at Mushroom Kingdom, as getting caught in the ordering line can leave you with little time.

The price is reasonable, making it a good option for first-time visitors to Hokkaido like myself, those unsure of where to go, or anyone who wants to explore without driving.

This plan includes two lakes. The views from the shores are beautiful, but since the differences are subtle, I recommend taking the sightseeing boat on Lake Shikotsu as an option. The clarity of the water and the views from the boat are quite different from those seen from the shore.

In conclusion, I didn't say "it was the best" because I can't compare it as it was my first bus tour, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I can definitely recommend it.

6月23日に参加させて頂きました。
私自身、日帰りバスツアーが初めてでしたので、期待と不安を持っての参加でした。
昼食は自由食プランです。

ほぼ一日かけて各名所を周りますが、効率よく周る事が出来ました。
風景を楽しみたい方にはオススメです。
移動のバスも快適でいい感じでした。

それぞれのポイントの観光時間も適当で、余ることもなく、足りないこともありませんでした。
但し、キノコ王国の昼食の際、注文の列に巻き込まれると余裕がなくなるので注意が必要です。

お値段もリーズナブルなので、私のような北海道初めての方や、何処に行ったらいいのかわからない方、運転せずに楽に周りたい方にいいと思います。

こちらのプランは湖が２つあります。
湖岸からの景色はそれぞれ綺麗ですが、違いが出辛いので、オプションにはなりますが支笏湖の観光船に乗船するのをおすすめします。
水の綺麗さや船上からの景色は、湖岸から見るのとはまた違いますから。

最後になりますが、「最高でした。」にしなかったのは、私がバスツアー初めてで比較出来ないからで、私自身は充分満喫出来ました。
十分おすすめできます。

The bright and friendly guide, along with the safe-driving crew, made the journey through the beautiful natural scenery of Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya even more enjoyable.

明るくて親切なガイドさんと、安全運転の乗務員さん。
支笏湖・洞爺湖の美しい自然を残した景色の旅が更に楽しくなりました。

I arrived on a flight the night before, and I only had this day for sightseeing. However, there were many places I wanted to see, so I utilized this service for efficient sightseeing.

First, I communicated all the places I wanted to visit, and then I left the rest to them. In the vehicle, and at each location, they got out with us and provided various explanations. Their stories, sprinkled with humor, were delightful and brought a smile.

Since the plan was packed, they were very accommodating even when we ran a little behind schedule. As we were getting off, they took us past places we couldn't visit and pointed out comfortable spots to spend time until our return flight, allowing us to have an enjoyable and meaningful experience.

前夜着の飛行機で、観光はこの日のみ。でも見てまわりたい所は沢山。効率良く観光する為に利用しました。

まずは行きたい場所を全て伝えて、後はお任せ。
車内はもちろん、それぞれの場所で一緒に降りて色々と説明をして下さいました。所々に紛れ込む落ちのある話がまたクスッと笑いを誘う素敵なものでした。

盛り沢山の計画だったので、少し時間が過ぎても気持ち良く接してくださいました。降りる際、まわりきれなかった場所の近くを通り、帰りの便までの過ごしやすい場所を教えて下さり、楽しく有意義な時間を過ごせました。

I thoroughly enjoyed my first trip to Hokkaido.
The fields and rice paddies stretched as far as the eye could see, along with the mountains.
"I really felt like I had come to Hokkaido."
Thanks to the many informative stories from our guide, I was able to spend the two and a half hour journey without feeling bored.
The driving was safe and comfortable as well.
I made wonderful memories at this price.
Thank you! 😊

初めて北海道の旅を満喫しました
どこまでも遠くまで見渡す畑と田んぼ
そして山々が
「あー　本当に北海道に来たんだと思いました」
ガイドさんのためになるお話の数々のお陰で
片道２時間半もの間も　退屈なく過ごせました
運転も安全運転で快適でした
このお値段で満喫できてとても良い思い出が出来ました
ありがとうございます(^-^)

I participated in the tour on May 31. Everyone else was a tourist from a Chinese-speaking region, so the guide provided information in Chinese. We were able to see the moss phlox, but unfortunately, the tulips were past their peak and we couldn't see them. Instead, we were taken to another wisteria flower spot, which was a bit different from what I expected, but I was glad to see the wisteria flowers. Overall, I achieved my goal, but the time spent on the bus was long.

５月３１日のツアーに参加した。みんなは中国語圏の観光客だったので、添乗員は中国語で案内していた。芝桜は見られたが、チューリップは残念ながら見ごろが過ぎて、見られなかった。その代わりに、別の藤の花スポットに連れていかれたが、少し思ったのと違ったけど、藤の花が見られてよかった。全体的に、目的を達したが、バスにいる時間は長った。

アレックス、私たちのツアーガイドは素晴らしかったです！彼は参加者全員にとても気を配り、私たちのツアーコースに関連する話は非常に興味深く、役に立ちました。訪れたすべてのスポットは忘れられないものでした！！

Alex, our tour guide, was excellent! He cared about all the participants so much, and his talk related to our tour course was very interesting and helpful. All the spots we visited was unforgettable!!

The driver was very gentle.
The seafood bowl prioritized quality over quantity.
I was able to enjoy the most delicious sea urchin of my life.

物腰の柔らかな運転手さん。
海鮮丼も、量より質。
人生で一番美味しい雲丹をいただくことができました。

I discovered this tour when I wasn't sure how to get around Hakodate for the first time. They took me around various places by taxi, accommodating my wishes as much as possible, and I found out they offer a remarkable policy of 100% refund if you cancel more than an hour in advance.

We gathered at Hakodate Station, where they welcomed us with a sign from the travel company that had our names on it. Our friendly driver, Matsuyama, took us to classic spots in Hakodate like Goryokaku Tower, Goryokaku, the convent, Honmachi Slope, and a power spot shrine.

I thought there might be too many places to visit quickly, but even with a short stay, I felt over 80% satisfied with the experience, which was a great deal. Of course, if you want to take it slow, just let them know, and they will adjust accordingly!

The conversation was just the right amount, and Matsuyama matched our pace, making it very relaxing to chat. On the way back, I was dropped off at a sushi restaurant, but I specifically requested Matsuyama to take me to the Red Brick Warehouses (laughs).

Next time I come to Hakodate, I would love to have him guide me on the night view course! Thank you so much for today!

初めての函館でどう回っていいかわからないところ、
こちらのツアーを発見。
タクシーでいろいろ回ってくれて、行きたいところも可能な限り希望に沿ってくれて、キャンセルが何と１時間以上前なら100%返金という破格の待遇を発見
函館駅に集合で指定したところ、旅行会社でやる御一行の旗に名前を書いてお出迎えしてくれました
気さくなおじさんドライバー松山さんが五稜郭タワー、五稜郭、修道院、本町坂、パワースポット神社など、函館定番の場所をを回ってもらいました。
意外と回る場所多いから足早かなって思いましたが、要所を抑えて観光するため少しの滞在時間だけれど、満足感8割以上で大変お得でした。
もちろん、ゆっくりしたい時はその旨伝えれば調整してくれます！
おしゃべりは適度でこちらのリズムに合わせて話してくれるのですごくリラックスしてお話しできました
帰りはお寿司屋さんで降ろしてもらいましたが、赤レンガ倉庫までの送迎は松山さんを指名で呼んじゃいました（笑）
次函館来る時は夜景コースで案内してもらいたいです！
本日は本当にありがとうございました

I participated in a bus tour from Sapporo to Furano and Biei with my daughter. Just as the guide said, there is no better weather than this time of year, and we could see Tokachidake and the distant mountains clearly. The panoramic view from Campana Rokkatei and the blue pond, which looked like something out of a photograph, were amazing.

I was looking forward to the lavender at Farm Tomita and the flower carpet at Shikisai no Oka, but unfortunately, we couldn't catch them at their peak as it was either just after replanting or a bit too early. That will have to be a goal for next time.

With a delicious lunch and the guide's kind and enjoyable storytelling, it turned into a fun day of sightseeing. Thank you very much. I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

娘と2人で札幌からの富良野、美瑛バスツアーに参加しました。この時期にこんな良いお天気はない、というガイドさんの言葉通り十勝岳や遠くの山々がくっきり見え、カンパーナ六花亭からのパノラマビュー、そしてまるで写真を見ているかのような青い池は最高でした。
ファーム冨田のラベンダー、色彩の丘の花の絨毯を楽しみにしていましたが、ちょうど植え替え後だったりあと少し早かったり、と残念ながらピークに合わせることができず、また次回の宿題となってしまいました。
美味しいお昼ごはん、ガイドさんの優しい楽しい語り口で、一日楽しい観光になりました。
ありがとうございました。また機会があったら参加したいです。

The view of Tokachidake and the vineyards from Campana Rokkatei was very lovely. It was a bit disappointing that the lavender at Tomita Farm and Shikisai no Oka wasn't in bloom yet, but I believe there will be wonderful scenery by the end of June. The lunch was delicious as well. I ordered grape juice, and it was full of the deliciousness of grapes.

カンパーナ六花亭からみる十勝岳とぶどう畑の景色がとてもステキでした。富田ファームや四季彩の丘は、まだラベンダーが咲いてなくてちょっと残念でしたが、6月下旬になったらきっと素晴らしい景色がみれると思います。ランチも美味しかったです。ぶどうジュースをオーダー、ぶどうの美味しさがタップリです。

I had a great time from start to finish! The zoo visit lasts 90 minutes, but since it's quite large, if you take your time to look around, you might find yourself running close on time.

The buffet at the herb garden doesn't have a wide variety, but it does include Genghis Khan, which I think is sufficient for a light lunch.

The Blue Pond and Shirahige Falls are breathtaking, especially the Blue Pond, which looks beautifully blue when it's sunny. The guide was wonderful as well. They provided clear explanations in both Japanese and Chinese, and they were friendly and accommodating throughout, making for an enjoyable experience.

I was able to fully enjoy the great nature of Hokkaido in just one day, and I am very satisfied.

終始楽しめました！盛りだくさんの内容で、動物園は90分ですが、広いのでゆっくり見ていたら結構時間ギリギリになります。
ハーブガーデンのバイキングは種類はそんなにないですが、ジンギスカンもあり、軽めの昼食には十分かと思います。
青い池と白ひげの滝は絶景、特に青い池は、晴れていると綺麗に青く見えるので、とても良いです。そしてガイドさんが素晴らしい。日本語と中国語で説明もわかりやすく、笑顔で最後までご対応いただき、楽しい時間となりました。
北海道の大自然を1日で堪能でき、満足です。

The colors of the hill were not as vibrant as in the brochure, which was disappointing.
The hamburger for lunch was delicious!!
The guide was also very kind and helpful.

色彩の丘が時期的に早すぎてパンフレットの様な感じではなかった。残念
お昼のハンバーグは美味しかった‼︎
ガイドさんも親切な対応で良かったです。

Since it was a long journey, we had two drivers, and there were also two guides, one for Japanese and Chinese and one for English. Everyone was very kind.
The day we visited the moss phlox was the day of the full bloom announcement, and it was wonderful to see it at its peak. The tulips were also in full bloom with a variety of colors, which was impressive! Although the time spent on the bus was long, it was a tour well worth participating in, and I was very satisfied!

長時間の移動になる為ドライバーさん２名体制、ガイドさんも日本語・中国語担当１名と英語対応の２名体制でした。皆さんとても親切な方達でした。
芝桜は行った当日が満開宣言の日でとても綺麗な時に行けて最高でした。チューリップも色とりどり満開で感動しました！バスに乗っている時間が長いですが参加するに十分値するツアーで大満足でした！

It was my first trip to Hokkaido in a while.
The Shikisai no Oka was particularly wonderful,
and we were blessed with great weather, allowing us to see the mountains of Daisetsuzan.
I felt fantastic.
I've traveled a lot both domestically and internationally, but the easy access to Hokkaido's great nature is the best.
It definitely ranks in the top three in Japan.
This day trip bus tour is great!

久しぶりの北海道旅行でした。
特に四季彩の丘は素晴らしく
天気にも恵まれ大雪山の山々まで見えて
気持ちは最高です。
国内や海外もたくさん行っていますが、
やはり気軽に行ける北海道の大自然は最高です。
国内ではベスト3に入りますね。
この日帰りバスツアーはいいですよ。

It was a trip with cherry blossoms in full bloom. Everyone except me was an international student, and with English, Japanese, and Chinese being spoken, it was a very enjoyable trip. The driver was also a very nice person, so I would like to go on a tour with them again.

桜満開の旅行でした。私以外が留学生でしたが英語と日本語中国語が飛び交いとても楽しい旅行でした。運転手さんもとても良い方でしたのでまた一緒にツアに行きたいです。

We used the service as a family of three. It was our first trip to Furano, and since I was anxious about driving, we opted for a sightseeing taxi!

Since we weren't familiar with the area, we communicated a lot about the places we wanted to visit in advance. However, the driver suggested how to allocate our time and recommended a good route, which made for a satisfying trip. It was a bit disappointing that the flower fields weren't in full bloom yet, but we appreciated having a guide for photos at the sightseeing spots.

When traveling individually, we often take turns to take pictures, but this time we could always take group photos together, creating wonderful memories!

親子3人で利用しました。
富良野旅行は初めてなのと、運転に不安があるため観光タクシーを利用しました！

土地勘がないため行きたい所を事前にたくさん伝えてしまいましたが、時間の配分やおすすめの周り方を提案して頂き満足のいく旅行となりました。
花畑はまだ見頃ではなく残念でしたが、観光地ではガイドと写真撮影をして頂き助かりました。
個人旅行では写真を撮る時に交代で撮ることが多いですが、常に3人で記念写真が取れていい思い出になりました！

I participated in another tour last year and it was so great that I joined again this year. I had a lot of fun being taken to various sightseeing spots. The weather was nice and the scenery was amazing. However, there were hardly any Japanese people (I was alone this time). It might not be suitable for those who want to listen closely to the guide for their first time in Hokkaido... But for those who don't mind, the price is affordable and it's a relaxed way to explore, so I think it's really good!

去年別のツアーに参加しとてもよかったので今年も参加しました。
色々な観光地に連れていってもらえてとても楽しかったです。
天気もよく景色も最高でした。
ただ日本人はほぼいません。（今回は一人）
初めての北海道でガイドもしっかり聞きたいという方には少し向かないかもしれません。。。
気にしない方でしたら価格も安いし気楽に回れてとてもよいと思います！
