All Reviews for Top Hokkaido Attractions

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。

I often used Viator when traveling abroad. It's good to use it domestically as well. The guide was experienced and provided travel advice at just the right distance. Since I can't travel abroad often now, I will use it again.

海外でよくベルトラ利用していました
国内でも良いですね
ガイドさんもベテランさんでほどいい距離で旅のアドバイスをくださり、海外になかなか行けない今、また利用させて頂きます。

It was unfortunately rainy, but I enjoyed it. My main purpose was to see the polar bear cub. I had seen the parents at another zoo when I was a child.

I went to see the polar bears three times, and there were moments when the cub was sleeping, but in the end, it was lively and playful, which was adorable. The hippo feeding time was impressive, and I was able to see the serval moving around as well.

Other animals were cute too. The guide was great.

　あいにくの雨でしたが楽しめました。シロクマの子供を1番の目的にきました。親は子供の時に　他の動物園でみてました。
　3回もシロクマはみにいき、子供が寝ている時もありましたが　最後は元気に遊んでいて可愛かったです。カバのモグモグタイムは　迫力がありました、
　マヌリネコも動いているのが　見れました。
　他の動物も可愛かったです。
　ガイドさんも良かったです。
　

Thanks to the bad weather, I was able to experience the foggy Lake Mashu in a negative sense (laughs). In addition to Lake Mashu, it was a very fulfilling tour that included Lake Kussharo, Lake Akan, and Mount Io. Next time, I would like to participate on a day with good weather to see Lake Mashu.

天気が悪いおかげで悪い意味での霧の摩周湖を体験することができました(笑)。摩周湖の他に屈斜路湖、阿寒湖、硫黄山も巡るとても充実したツアーです。次回は天候の良い日に参加して摩周湖を見てみたいと思いました。

I live in Sapporo. I went out while there were fewer crowds. The lavender wasn't in bloom yet, and there were fewer flowers, plus it rained at the Blue Pond.
But I'm glad I went!
The bus driver was very skilled and had a great personality. The guide's explanations during the trip were full of interesting "wow" moments. Their voice was easy to understand, friendly, and polite—definitely a professional.
The soft serve ice cream recommended by the guide at Tomita Farm was delicious.
The deep-fried asparagus I bought at the Shikisai no Oka shop was so good that I ended up eating two plates!

札幌在住です。人混みが少ないうちにと、出かけました。ラベンダーもまだでお花も少なめだったし、青い池では雨も降ってしまいました。
でも、行って良かったです！
バスのドライバーさんが運転が上手で、とても感じのよいかたで。ガイドさんの道中での説明が、へぇ～っがいくつもあり、面白かったです。声が聞き取りやすくて、フレンドリーで丁寧で、プロだなあと。
ガイドさんオススメの富田ファームのソフトクリーム、美味しかったです。
四季彩の丘の売店で買った、アスパラガスの素揚げが美味しすぎて、２皿も食べちゃいました。

A day trip to a representative location in Hokkaido. The weather was refreshing and sunny, making it a perfect day. The safe driving and the guide's explanations were also great.

北海道の代表的な場所への日帰りツアー
当日はお天気も爽やかに晴れて最高の
一日でした
安全運転とガイドさんの説明も良かったです。

The weather was nice, and I was impressed by the beautiful colors of both the river and the lake. I was with my dog and a small child, but we received kind guidance, which allowed us to experience everything with peace of mind. I thought I had already experienced the beauty of Lake Shikotsu, but the beauty seen from the surface of the lake was completely different. I could clearly see the areas where it suddenly became deep, where trees were submerged, and where sand patterns were formed, all thanks to the wonderful transparency. The mountains surrounding the lake were also beautiful, and I wanted to keep looking at them forever. Thank you very much for providing such a wonderful experience.

お天気もよく、川も湖も美しい色で感激しました。
わんこと小さな子供連れでしたが、親切にご指導いただき、安心して体験することができました。
支笏湖の美しさは体験済みと思っていましたが、湖面で見る美しさはまた全然違いました。
急に深くなっているところや、木が沈んでいるところ、砂の紋様ができているところなど、透明度が素晴らしくはっきりと見ることができました。
湖から見る四方の山々も美しく、いつまでも見ていたい気持ちでした。
素晴らしい体験をさせてくださって、本当にありがとうございました。

I requested a 5-hour course that included Koshimizu Natural Flower Garden, Notoro Cape, Abashiri Prison, and the Drift Ice Museum.

The driver suggested the above order, and we followed that route. They provided information on the highlights and estimated visiting times for each location, so we never felt rushed during our visits. Since we were able to move efficiently, we had some extra time, and the driver suggested visiting a place where we could interact with squirrels, which we also enjoyed before concluding the tour.

We were blessed with good weather and had a very fulfilling time. When I asked if we could have completed the above course in case of bad weather, they mentioned that while it was possible, they had also thought of alternatives in case of rain.

小清水原生花園、能取岬、網走監獄、流氷館を5時間コースでお願いしました。

上記の順番でと、ドライバさんから提案があり、その通りまわりました。
見所や各見学場所の見学時間目安を教えていただいたので、見学中も時間に追われることはありませんでした。
効率よくまわることが出来たので、時間があまったので、リスとふれ合うところに行きませんかと言っていただいたので、そちらも寄り終了になりました。

天候に恵まれてとても充実した時間を過ごすことができました。
天気の悪かった場合は、上記のコースは回れましたか。と聞いたところ回ることはできるが、雨の場合の代案まで考えてくれていました。

Unfortunately, it was raining, and Lake Mashu was completely white with nothing visible. The guide's explanations often mentioned that if it were clear, you could see ◯◯ in this direction, which was disappointing, but you can't choose the weather, so it can't be helped. It seemed that the number of tourists was slowly returning, but there were only seven passengers on the bus. The shops by the lake were also quiet, and even Lake Akan was still lacking in vitality.

The day-use hot spring introduced by the guide during our free time had good service from the hotel staff, and the bath area was reasonably spacious, which was nice. The tour did not include lunch, which made the tour price cheaper, but it was efficient, and I was satisfied with the local specialty, wakasagi donburi. It was also great to see a mother deer and her fawn, a red-crowned crane, and a kit fox during the tour.

生憎の雨降りで、摩周湖も真っ白で何も見えず、
ガイドさんの説明も晴れていれば、この方向に◯◯が見えます、と言うものが多くて残念だったが、天候は選べないから仕方がない。
観光ツアー客も少し戻ってきたようだったが、バスの乗客は7人。湖の立ち寄り店も閑散としていて、最後の阿寒湖もまだ活気がない。
フリータイムにガイドさんが紹介してくれた日帰り温泉はホテルマンの対応もよく、風呂場もほどほどに広く　良かった。
ツアーに昼食はついていなく　その分安いツアー代金だったが、効率良くまわり、名物のワカサギ丼も満足。ツアー中に、鹿の親子、タンチョウ鶴、キタキツネが見えたことも良かった。

I wanted to see the entire area of shibazakura at Shibazakura Park, so I participated. On the way, I saw shibazakura planted in the gardens of private homes, but the scale was completely different. I had never seen such a vast area covered in shibazakura like at the park, so it was definitely the right decision to go there. Additionally, at the tulip garden in Kamiyubetsu, I was able to see various types of tulips, which was interesting. Furthermore, the travel from Sapporo to the eastern part of Hokkaido is quite challenging, so I was really glad to be taken there by a sightseeing bus.

「芝ざくら公園の山一面の芝ざくらを見てみたい」と思い、参加しました。道中、民家の庭に植えられている芝ざくらを見ましたが、それらとは全然スケールが違いました。芝ざくら公園のように、あれほど広範囲にわたって芝ざくらが敷き詰められている光景を見ることはなかったので、現地に行って本当に正解でした。また、上湧別のチューリップ園では、様々な品種のチューリップを見ることができ、面白かったです。
加えて、札幌から道東までの移動は大変なので、観光バスで連れて行ってもらい、本当に良かったです。

The weather was very nice, and the three major lakes looked beautifully blue. The guide was wonderful with their explanations and attentiveness. Personally, I enjoyed the lake walk at Lake Akan and the foot bath. However, one disappointing point was that I wanted to see the Kushiro Wetlands from an observation deck instead of just from the car window, even if it was just for about 10 minutes. Since the main focus of this trip was to see the Kushiro Wetlands, it was quite disappointing.

天気も非常に良く、3大湖が青く綺麗に見えた^_^
ガイドさんも、説明や気配りが素敵で、とても良かったです。
個人的には、阿寒湖の湖散策や、足湯が良かった。
ただ1点残念だったのは、釧路湿原は、車窓ではなく、10分ぐらいでもいいから展望台から見たかった(T ^ T)
今回の旅行のメインは、釧路湿原を見る事だったので、非常に残念だった。

Lake Mashu was beautiful without any fog, and the backdrop of Mount Shari was lovely. The sand bath also left a lasting impression with its fantastic scenery. The guide's explanations were thorough. I would like to recommend this to my friends as well.

摩周湖は、霧もなくてバックの斜里岳も素敵でした。砂湯も幻想的な風景で印象に残りました。
ガイドさんの説明も丁寧でした。友人たちにも勧めたいです。

It was a bit early for the lavender season, and the flowers weren't blooming much, but the temperature was just right for a long-sleeve shirt, making it comfortable throughout the visit. Both the driver and the guide were polite, which made me feel at ease. We were able to finish earlier than planned, allowing us to have some flexibility for our subsequent activities.

ラベンダーの季節には少し早く、花はあんまり咲いていませんでしたが気温は長袖1枚くらいでちょうどよく、終始快適に過ごせました。運転手さんもガイドさんも丁寧で安心しました。予定よりも早く終わることが出来、そのあとの予定にも余裕を持って行動できました。

I participated alone.

Since it was mid-June, the flowers at Tomita Farm and Shikisai no Oka were not in full bloom, but there were still some varieties blooming here and there, and I was able to enjoy them enough!

The temperature on the day was a maximum of around 19°C and a minimum below 10°C, but since it was in the mountains, it felt chilly wherever we went. I think a jacket is essential for those visiting during this time or in the fall.

During the travel, the guide shared various stories, so I didn't get bored. All the stories were informative and interesting. However, in the latter half (around Patchwork Hill), I got tired and occasionally succumbed to sleepiness. It might require more stamina than expected...

The lunch was substantial and delicious. Many people also ordered glasses of wine separately and seemed to enjoy it.

I was worried that the time at the Blue Pond would be short, but there was plenty of time to take photos with my camera, so I was satisfied.

It turned out to be a surprisingly packed day with a lot of information, and I was very satisfied. I initially made the reservation thinking it would be good enough to visit the Blue Pond, but I ended up with more memories than I expected, thanks to Tomita Farm and the guide's stories, and I'm glad I participated.

If asked whether I would recommend it to friends, I would simply say yes. Thank you to everyone involved in this project for a wonderful time.

1人で参加させていただきました。

6月中旬ということで、冨田ファームと四季彩の丘の花は満開、というわけにはいきませんでしたが、どちらもポツリポツリと、咲いている品種もあり、十分楽しむことができました！

当日の気温は最高19℃、最低10℃以下くらいだったと思うのですが、山ということもあり、どこに行っても肌寒かったです。
この時期や秋頃に行かれる肩は、上着は必須だと思います。

移動中の多くの時間はガイドさんがいろんなお話をしてくださるので、退屈しません。どのお話も為になる話ばかりで、面白かったです。
ただ、後半(パッチワークの丘あたり)は、疲れて所々睡魔に負けてしまいました。以外と体力が必要かもしれません…

お昼ごはんもボリューム的にしっかりとあって、美味しかったです。グラスワインも別途注文でき、楽しんでいる方も多かったです。

青い池の所要時間が短いのではないかなと心配していましたが、カメラで写真を撮る時間は十分ありましたので、満足です。

意外と盛り沢山で、情報量がいっぱいいっぱいな1日となり、とっても満足でした。
青い池さえ行ければ良いと思って予約したのですが、冨田ファームやガイドさんのお話など、思っていた以上に想い出がいっぱいでき、参加して良かったと思っています。

友人に勧めたいかと言われたら勧めたいの一言に尽きます。この企画に関わっている全ての皆様、楽しい時間をありがとうございました。

I was able to see beautiful flowers at just the right time. After that, it rained and the temperature dropped, and it seems the flowers lost their vigor. It's difficult since it's all about nature, but for me, it was the best.

丁度タイミングが合い、キレイなお花を見ることができました。あのあと雨が降ったり、気温が下がったりでお花の勢いも失せてしまったようです。自然相手のものなので、難しいですが、私にとっては最高でした。

Dear Aizawa,

Thank you very much for the wonderful time on the 29th. When I received your call about the strong winds, I briefly thought it might be canceled, and my spirits sank. However, when you said it was still on, my excitement shot up! I was amazed by the clarity of the Chitose River and, guided by your delightful conversation, I hopped into the canoe for an unforgettable 90 minutes. I look forward to the next opportunity to explore Lake Shikotsu, which we had to forgo due to the strong winds!

相澤様へ

先日29日は大変楽しい時間を有難う御座いました。
風が強いとのお電話を頂いた時は中止かと思い一瞬心が折れましたが、お伺いしてOKとの事一気にテンションが上がりました。
千歳川の透明度に感激し、相澤さんの愉快なトークに導かれるようにカヌーに乗り込みあっと言う間の90分でした。
次回の機会には是非、又強風で断念した支笏湖を案内して頂くのを楽しみにしております！

During this trip to Hokkaido, I chose the Farm Tomita, Shikisai no Oka, and Aoi Ike course, and I created the best memories. The tourist spots offered a series of locations that can only be experienced in Hokkaido, making for a highly satisfying day. Additionally, there were moments that moved me, making the trip even more emotional.

First, the driver, Mr. H, drove exceptionally safely, allowing me to feel secure during the ride. When we arrived at each tourist spot and got off the bus, he always greeted each of us with phrases like "Have a good time" and "Thank you for your hard work." While I have experienced bus guides giving such greetings, it was rare to hear them from a driver, and I was very touched. He is the best driver I have encountered among my many bus tour experiences.

Next, the bus guide, Ms. I, introduced herself as "the actress... Satomi." I was impressed by how she spoke about the travel information for a long time without looking at notes, flowing like the gentle current of the Ishikari River. Her speaking style was gentle and engaging, with a pleasant tone, and she skillfully incorporated humor into her guidance.

This tour reminded me that the journey is not just about the attractions. Thank you to driver Mr. H and bus guide Ms. I for making the tour so enjoyable.

今回の北海道旅行の中でファーム富田・四季彩の丘・青い池コースを選んで最高の思い出が出来ました。
観光地は北海道でしか味わうことが出来ないロケーションの連続で最高に満足できる一日となりましたが、そのことにプラスして感動できることがあった事で、一層感動的な旅行になりました。

まず、運転手Hさんの運転はすこぶる安全運転で安心して乗車出来たこと。また、観光地に到着し降車する際、必ず一人ひとりに「いってらっしゃい」「お疲れ様でした」等の声掛けを頂きました。バスガイドさんの声掛けは経験があるのですが、運転手さんの声掛けは殆ど経験がなく、とても感動しました。
私の数あるバスツアー経験の中で一番の運転手さんです。

次は、自己紹介で「女優の・・・・さとみ」の名前を名乗ったバスガイドのIさんですが、移動の長い時間をカンペを見ることもなく旅先の情報をゆったりとした石狩川の流れのように喋られたことにも感動しました。
喋りは優しく語り掛ける口調で、トーンも心地よく、時に笑いを交えたガイドは流石でした。

旅は観光地の魅力だけでは無いことを改めて噛み締めたツアーとなりました。
ツアーを魅力的にして頂いた運転手Hさん、バスガイドIさんありがとうございました。

My wife and I had a great time. The guide's explanations were very clear and helpful. The infection prevention measures were thorough, which made us feel safe. It was our first bus tour, but I would like to participate again.

妻と二人で楽しめました。ガイドさんの案内もとてもわかりやすく良かったです。感染対策も万全で安心できました。バスツアーは初めてでしたがまた参加したいと思います。
