All Reviews for Top Hokkaido Attractions

The guide had a beautiful voice and provided clear explanations, making the experience very enjoyable. We had two hours of free time at Lake Akan, which felt a bit short for enjoying the hot springs and lunch. However, we were able to take a different bus back, which added an extra hour, allowing us to spend a total of three hours leisurely. I was worried about visiting three lakes if the weather wasn't good, but it turned out to be a sunny day and quite hot, so I didn't feel any coolness, but it was a great trip.

ガイドさんも声が美しく、わかりやすい説明で大変楽しめました。
阿寒湖での自由時間が2時間でしたが、温泉や昼食などで足りないなと
思っていたので、同じバスでは帰らずに阿寒バスで帰ることができ（+1時間）
合計3時間ゆっくり過ごすことができました。天気がよくないと湖を3つも
行くのでどうなるかしらと心配していましたが、快晴でとても暑く、涼は感じられませんでしたがいい旅になりました。

I was worried about the weather, but at Lake Shikotsu, it was beautifully clear and I had a great time. In particular, the sightseeing boat tour at Lake Shikotsu, which I paid extra for, offered a stunning view of the blue lake bottom with Ezo chub swimming around. The lunch at Lake Toya was also delicious, and I was able to see Mount Usu and Showa Shinzan, making it a cost-effective bus tour.

天気がどうなるか不安な状況でしたが、支笏湖では無事に快晴でとても楽しめました。特に別途、支払って参加した支笏湖の遊覧船は、真っ青な湖底にエゾウグイが泳いでいる光景は、なかなかの見所です。洞爺湖での昼食も美味しかったですく、有珠山、昭和新山も観れたので、コスパのいいバスツアーでした。

What I often see on TV are the Polar Bear Pavilion, Penguin Pavilion, and Seal Pavilion. Of course, these are highlights that are worth seeing, but unexpectedly, the Hippo Pavilion was great. I was impressed by the lively and active hippos. It was the first time I saw such cheerful hippos. It was surprising to see their bellies and the bottoms of their feet through the glass from below. I felt like I could watch them forever.

The Wild Ezo Brown Bear Pavilion was also good. The bears looked a bit like gangsters. I definitely wouldn't want to run into one of them anywhere. If I had more time, I would have liked to see the Peacock House as well. I regret missing that part.

TVでよく見るのはほっきょくぐま館、ペンギン館、あざらし館ですね。こちらはもちろん見応えがあるハイライト館ですが、思いがけず良かったのはかば館です。生き生きしたアクティブなかばさんたちに感動しました。初めてあんな楽しげなかばさん達を見ました。下側からガラス越しに見られるお腹や足の裏などびっくりです。無限に見ていられると思いました。
ワイルドなえぞひぐま館も良かったです。ヤクザっぽいくまさんでした。絶対どこかで出くわしたりしたくないです。時間があればクジャク舎の方も見たかったです。このあたりは見逃してしまったのが心残りです。

This tour includes Farm Tomita, Shikisai no Oka, and the Blue Pond, making it a fantastic course to fully enjoy Biei. Plus, it even includes lunch, which is a great bonus.

Personally, I was particularly impressed by the beauty of Shikisai no Oka.

If the main focus of the tour is Asahiyama Zoo, it can leave you wanting more from your Biei experience, so I would recommend this tour for those who want to take their time exploring Biei without the zoo.

このツアーは、ファーム富田、四季彩の丘、そして青い池が含まれるので、美瑛を満喫できるコースとなっています。しかも昼食まで付くという優れものでもあります。

個人的には、特に四季彩の丘の美しさに感銘を受けました。

旭川動物園がメインのツアーですと、美瑛観光が物足りなくなってしまうので、動物園を外しても美瑛をじっくり見て回りたい方におすすめしたいツアーです。

It was disappointing that Lake Mashu was completely obscured by fog, but the souvenir shops and restrooms at each stop were well-maintained, allowing for a comfortable experience.

摩周湖が霧で全く見えなかったのが残念でしたが、各停車場所のお土産屋さんとトイレはきちんと整備されており、快適に過ごす事ができました。

The kayak instructor was kind and made the experience enjoyable. It was my first time, and it turned out to be a great experience!

カヤックのお兄さんも優しくて楽しく体験ができました。初めてだったのですがとてもいい経験になりました！

It was supposed to rain that day, but the weather was nice, and both the driver and the tour guide were very pleasant. I was comforted by the tour guide's voice, and I am grateful to have learned so many things about Hokkaido that I didn't know before.

I was able to visit Farm Tomita, which my friend had long dreamed of, and the lavender was beautifully in bloom, it was the best. Farm Tomita had not only lavender but also many other beautiful flowers. I visited Shikisai no Oka for the first time, and the flower carpet was very beautiful.

I was able to go at a very good time, and the weather was perfect. I would like to use Veltra again. Hokkaido is a place you can visit many times and still enjoy. Thank you very much! I truly appreciate it.

その日は雨のはずでしたが、天気もよく、運転手さんや添乗員さんも、とても感じの良い方でした。添乗員さんの声に癒されたのと、北海道の知らない事が、沢山知れて感謝です。
友達が昔から念願だったファーム富田にも行けて、とてもラベンダーが綺麗に咲いていて最高でした。ファーム富田は、ラベンダーや他のお花もとても綺麗でした。四季彩の丘は、初めて行きましたが、お花の絨毯で、とても綺麗でした。
とても良い時期に行けたのと、天気がよく最高でした(^-^)また、Veltraさんを利用させて頂きたいです。北海道は、何回行っても良いですね。本当にどうもありがとうございました(^∇^)感謝です。

I used this service to efficiently visit the places I wanted to go with my family. We rushed to catch the Airport Liner from New Chitose Airport just in time. We also managed to exchange our bus tickets within the time limit.

Farm Tomita was pleasant, with the weather being neither too hot nor too cold for walking. The Blue Pond looked beautiful, and fortunately, we didn't get rained on in Biei. The flower fields in Biei have a tractor ride for 500 yen, which is great for those who find walking tiring. The lunch was delicious as well. Also, it seems that reservations fill up quite quickly, so it might be a good idea to decide on what souvenirs you want in advance, as there isn't much time to browse.

効率よく、行きたかった場所に家族と行くため、利用しました。無理して時間ギリギリの新千歳空港からエアポートライナーに飛び乗りました。
バスのチケット引き換え時間にも間に合いました。
ファーム富田は、天気も暑すぎず歩きやすかったです。青い池も綺麗に見えて、美瑛も運よく雨にも降られませんでした。美瑛の花畑は５００円のトラクター、歩くのだるいなと思う人は、楽でいいですよ。ランチも美味しかったです。あと予約は割と早く埋まってしまうみたいです。あまりお土産をみる時間時間はないので、欲しいものを決めておくといいかもしれません。

Eating and drinking are prohibited on the bus as part of infection control measures. It was great that the bus went directly from Sapporo, and the guide's explanations were interesting.

バス内では飲食禁止など感染症対策を徹底しています。バスも札幌から直行なので良かったし、ガイドさんの説明も興味深かったです。

On the last day of the three-day weekend, I participated with my parents. I was worried about the weather, but it turned out to be mostly sunny with some clouds, and we managed to get through the day without needing an umbrella.

The tour at Highland Furano included lunch and visits to popular spots like the sea of lavender, Farm Tomita, Shikisai no Oka, and the Blue Pond. Before participating, I thought the sightseeing time might be short, but I found it to be just right. It was a very fulfilling tour that allowed us to visit popular spots in a compact manner. The bus driver and tour guide were also very kind and attentive, which was great.

3連休の最終日に両親と参加しました。
天気がどうなるか？と心配でしたが、雲が多めの晴れで1日中傘を差す事も
なくなんとか天気には恵まれました。
ハイランドふらのでは昼食＆ラベンダーの海、ファーム富田、四季彩の丘、
青い池と人気スポットを巡るツアー。
参加前は見学時間が短いかな？と思っていましたが、
私的には丁度よく、コンパクトに人気スポットを巡る事が出来る、とても充実したツアーだと思いました。
バスの運転手さん、ツアーガイドさんもとても親切丁寧で良かったです。

Mr. Ikuta was very kind and flexible in responding to our requests. If given the opportunity, I would like to ask for his help again next time.

生田さんは、大変親切で私達の要求に柔軟に対応してくださいました。 機会があれば、次回もお願いしたいと思います。

Although the rain was a bit disappointing, I heard that the animals tend to be more active in the rain. Thanks to that, I was able to see the animals up close as they moved around, which was very enjoyable.

雨が、少々残念でしたが、雨の方が動物たちが動いてくれるとのことでした。
よって、よく動いてくれたおかげで、すぐそばで動物たちが見れて、とても楽しかったです。

I was able to enjoy it very much without any difficulty, even alone. My first visit to Asahiyama Zoo was very fulfilling. I would like to go again if I have the opportunity.

一人でも全然苦でなくとても楽しむことができました。
初めての旭山動物園でとても充実できました。
また機会があれば行きたいです。

I was worried about the weather, but at Lake Shikotsu, it was sunny and the blue, clear lake was incredibly beautiful. The sightseeing boat was very pleasant.
The meals at Lake Toya were even more delicious than I expected.
On the bus tour, I was able to enjoy sightseeing while thinking, "Wow, that's interesting!" thanks to the explanations provided.
At Mount Usu, it looked like it might rain, but I was able to see the scenery below.
I was reminded that sometimes a bus tour is a great experience!
Both the driver and the guide were very pleasant, making it the best bus tour ever.

お天気が心配でしたが、支笏湖では晴れてブルーで透明のの湖が凄く綺麗でした。遊覧船が気持ちよかった。
洞爺湖のお食事も思った以上に美味しかった。
バスツアーでは解説してもらえるのでえそーなんだーと思いながら観光できてよかったです。
有珠山では、雨が降りそうでしたが下の景色は見られました。
たまにはバスツアーも良いものだと再確認しました！
運転手さんも、ガイドさんもとても感じが良くて最高のバスツアーでした。

My first time in Kushiro. I wanted to explore the lakes but was about to give up due to lack of transportation when I found this tour. I don’t want to drive in unfamiliar places.

The day started cloudy with light rain, and unfortunately, the first destination, Lake Mashu, was shrouded in thick fog, so we couldn't see anything. However, we were able to see Mount Io, Lake Kussharo, and Lake Akan. Perhaps due to it being a weekday during the COVID-19 pandemic, there were few tourists, which was reassuring. However, at Lake Akan during our free time, there were only a few restaurants open, so I couldn't find a lunch that I liked. It must have been much livelier before the pandemic.

This time, we weren't blessed with good weather, but I was able to experience the vastness of Hokkaido that you can't understand from TV or magazines, and I am grateful to the driver and guide.

初めての釧路。湖巡りをしたいが交通手段がない！と諦めかけていたところでこのツアーを見つけました。当方、慣れない土地では運転したくないので。
この日は曇＆霧雨でスタートし、最初の目的地摩周湖は濃霧で何も見えす残念。硫黄山、屈斜路湖、阿寒湖は見ることができました。コロナ禍のウイークデーだからか観光客はまばらで安心。ただフリータイムの阿寒湖では営業している飲食店も僅かで好みの昼食が取れず。コロナ前はもっと活気があったのでしょうね。
今回、天候には恵まれませんでしたが、テレビや雑誌ではわからない北海道の広大さを実感出来、ドライバーさん、ガイドさんに感謝しています。

I finally realized my long-held dream of seeing the lavender. The weather was great, and the tour bus staff were excellent, allowing us to have a wonderful day.

Even when I returned to the hotel, closing my eyes brought back images of the purple lavender fields, and I was truly glad to have participated. I would like to visit Farm Tomita again and take my time next time.

やっと念願のラベンダーを見に行く事が実現できました。
お天気も良く、観光バスの乗務員の方達も、最高で、素晴らしい1日を過ごす事が出来ました。

ホテルに戻っても、目を閉じると紫色のラベンダー畑が写り本当に参加する事が出来て良かったです。
ファーム富田今度はのんびり行きたいと思いました。

I was disappointed that my stay at Rokkatei was short (I wanted to enjoy the stew), but I was satisfied with the cheese fondue lunch at Furano Wine. It was incredibly delicious. I enjoyed sweet melons at Tomita Melon and was able to pick up fresh, affordable asparagus at Shikisai no Oka, which made my trip to Hokkaido fulfilling. The Blue Pond was even bluer than last time (due to the sunlight) and beautiful. Since the tour was in mid-June, the flower fields were just before their peak. I thought I would like to plan for early July next year.

六花亭の滞在時間が短く残念な点はありましたが（シチューを味わいたかった）、ふらのワインでのチーズ・フォンデュの昼食が楽しめて満足。めちゃ美味しかった。富田メロンであんま〜いメロンを味わい、四季彩の丘で新鮮なお買い得アスパラガスの調達ができたことで北海道に来た〜を満喫できました。青い池では前回より青さが増し（日差しの関係）ていてきれいでした。ツアーは6月中旬だったのでお花畑は見頃前。来年は7月上旬に計画したいと思いました。

The guide provided a lot of information, which was great. The number of participants was also about half of the seating capacity, so we could relax comfortably.

ガイドさんが多くの情報を提供していただいたので良かった。参加人数も席の半分くらいでゆったりとできた。

Thanks to the kind and attentive guide, the safe driver, and the comfortable bus, I had a great sightseeing experience. The guide clearly explained the three distinctive lakes, provided advice for the 120-minute free time at Lake Akan, introduced delicious food, and informed us about the restroom locations, so I had no trouble at all. Thank you very much! ♪

親切丁寧なガイドさん、安全運転のドライバーさん、乗り心地良いバスのおかげさまで、良い観光が出来ました。特徴のある3つの湖を分かりやすくガイドしてくださり、阿寒湖120分フリータイムのアドバイス、美味しいモノの紹介、トイレの場所など、全く困る事なく過ごせました。ありがとうございました♪

My elderly in-laws used a hotel at Lake Akan. Thank you to the kind and attentive guide and the safe driver for their help. At the stops, there were not only sightseeing opportunities but also introductions to delicious food, so I was satisfied in many ways. Melons are delicious during this season.

高齢の義父母が阿寒湖のホテルまで利用しました。親切丁寧なガイドさん、安全運転のドライバーさんにお世話になり、ありがとうございました。立ち寄り先では、観光だけでなく、美味しい食べ物の紹介もありましたので、いろいろな面で満足できました。この時期はメロンが美味しいですね。

There was only one day when our family's schedule matched, so we chose this tour, and it turned out to be a very efficient way to visit the places we wanted to see. I was truly moved by the drift ice, which I wanted to see at least once in my lifetime!

家族のスケジュールが合うのがたった1日しかなかったため、このツアーを選びましたが、大変効率良く見たい場所を回ってくださり、充実したツアーになりました。一生に一度で良いから見たかった流氷には、ひたすら感動しました！

I signed up for a plan that only visits Asahiyama Zoo from Sapporo. The plan that included the zoo plus Biei and Furano was also attractive, but I chose this one because it had an earlier departure and a later return. Once I participated, there were about 15 participants, so the bus was not crowded, and getting on and off was quick and comfortable. I also had a long stay at the zoo, allowing me to explore at a leisurely pace. Thank you very much.

札幌から旭山動物園だけを訪れるプランに申し込みました。動物園＋美瑛・富良野を訪れるプランも魅力的でしたが、出発が早く帰りも遅くなるのでこちらにしました。参加してみると、参加者が15名程度でバスの中も密にならず、乗り降りもすぐにできて快適でした。動物園滞在も時間が長くのんびり回る事ができました。ありがとうございました。

It was a long-awaited 60th birthday trip with three friends I've known for 40 years, delayed due to the impact of COVID-19. We had requested to be taken from the airport to our hotel in the Bay Area while sightseeing, but due to the poor weather, we asked if we could change our itinerary to include Trapist and Goryokaku instead of the originally planned scenic spots. They kindly accepted our request. I was a bit anxious thinking it might be an unreasonable request, but it turned out great! The conversations in the car and the detailed explanations at each location were very enjoyable. The photos taken at each stop became wonderful memories. I truly realized again that taking a taxi is the best way to tour various attractions in a limited number of days. Thank you for your assistance.

40年来の友人3人と、コロナの影響で伸び伸びになってしまった還暦記念旅行でした。
空港から観光しながらベイエリアホテルまでお願いしてあったのですが、天候があまり良くなかった為眺望が良いとされていた箇所をやめて、トラピスチヌや五稜郭に変更できないかご相談させていただいたところ快く受けていただきました。無茶なお願いなのかもと不安でしたが良かったです！車内での会話や各所での丁寧な解説も大変楽しかったです。
行く先々で撮っていただいた写真も良い記念になりました。限られた日数で観光地を巡るにはやはりタクシーが良かったと今回も実感しました。お世話になりました。

I was thinking about how to spend the middle day of my 3-day trip to Sapporo when I found this tour. I never expected to be able to go to Furano and Biei! It would have been difficult to do it on my own, so I was glad to find this option. They also had proper infection control measures in place. Participants were able to join without unnecessary chatting in the car, which made it feel safe. I knew it was June, but it was a bit disappointing that it wasn't flower season.

2泊3日の札幌旅行の中日をどう過ごすか考えていたところ このツアーを見つけました。
まさか富良野や美瑛まで行けるなんて‼️ 個人では難しいですから良かったです。
感染対策もしっかりされてました。参加者も車内で無駄におしゃべりすることなく 安心して参加できました。
分かっていましたが6月なので花の時期ではなかったことが残念でした。

The Usuzan Ropeway after 25 years.
Beautiful scenery and terrace.
Delicious lunch and the guide's thoughtfulness.
It was a tour that fully satisfied our adult outing.
Thank you.

25年ぶりの有珠山ロープウェイ。
美しい景色とテラス。
美味しかった昼食やガイドさんの心遣い。
どれも大人の遠足には大満足のツアーでした。
ありがとうございます。

The scenery is incredibly beautiful, and I am satisfied. However, the bus windows are dirty, so the view from the window is not clear, which is concerning.

景色は凄く綺麗で満足です。
バスの窓は汚れていて、窓から楽しむところは綺麗に見えないので、気になります。

We are a couple living in Hokkaido. Until last year, we traveled within Hokkaido by private car, but this year we have been using intercity buses for our trips. This time, we used the Pirika bus on our second day in Kushiro. The great thing about sightseeing buses is that the drivers prioritize traffic safety, and with the guidance provided by the tour guides, we can feel secure and learn about the details of the scenic spots. Rather than just seeing the tourist attractions from our private car, we experienced a refreshing sense of travel.

It was challenging at times due to heavy rain, but even so, the guide waited outside with an umbrella for the guests who were sightseeing. Even though it was work, that sight was wonderful. Lastly, after we got off the bus, we heard that the bus waved goodbye to us from inside as it drove away. My wife was very happy about that. If we have the chance again, we will definitely ride with you.

道内在住の夫婦です。去年まで、道内旅行は自家用車でしたが、今年からは都市間バスを利用して、旅行しています。今回は、釧路の2日目にピリカ号を利用させてもらいました。観光バスの良いところは、運転手さんの交通安全重視や、ガイドさんの説明を受けることで、安心して、名勝地の詳細を知る事が出来ることです。今までの自家用車での観光地を見てきたというよりも、新鮮な旅行感覚を味わさせてもらいました。
時折の大雨で大変でしたが、それでも傘を差し、バスの外で観光してきた客を待つガイドさん、仕事とはいえ、その姿、良かったですよ。最後に、降車した私たち夫婦に、去っていくバスの中から、両手を振って挨拶していたとのこと。妻は大変喜んでいました。また、機会があったら、乗車させてもらいます。

The bus tour went by in a flash thanks to the calm guidance of our veteran guide. We were also blessed with great weather, and the blue of Lake Mashu was incredibly deep. I would like to visit again during the autumn foliage season.

ベテランのガイドさんの落ち着いたご案内で、あっという間のバスツアーでした。また天気にも恵まれて、摩周湖のブルーがとても深く臨めました。今度は紅葉の時期に訪れたいです。

The water! What a clear green! Blue!! I was overwhelmed by its beauty. Unfortunately, I couldn't see the scenery due to the rain, but I want to come back and try again in a different season!

水が！なんてクリアなグリーン！ブルー‼︎　綺麗さに圧倒されました　残念ながら雨で風景が見られませんでしたまた違う季節にリベンジしたいです❣️

I was able to see a polar bear mother nursing her cub. The feeding time of the orangutans and giraffes was also enjoyable, and I got to hear explanations from the keepers, which led to fun and new discoveries! The keepers' love for the animals really came through, making for a heartwarming day.

北極クマ　母グマと赤ちゃんの授乳シーン見れました。　オラウータンやキリンのもぐもぐお食事タイムは担当飼育員さんの解説も聞けて、楽しい&新しい発見にもなります！
飼育員さんの動物愛が伝わってきて、心和む1日になりました。
