All Reviews for Top Hokkaido Attractions

The zoo had a unique way of displaying animals that brought them close to us, showcasing creatures we had never seen before. The middle school children were also very interested as they walked around. Since it had snowed, there were large and cute paw prints of the tiger left in the snow. It was a bit snowy, and I wondered if the animals would have been more active if it had been a little warmer. On the bus, everyone was mostly quiet, listening to the talkative bus guide. The bus guide was also considerate, speaking while facing forward due to COVID-19 precautions.

動物園は、動物との距離が近くて今までに見たことない動物の展示の仕方でした。中学生の子供たちも興味深く見て回りました。雪が降った後だったので、トラの肉球の足跡がの上に残っていて大きくて可愛かったです。小雪がパラつく天気だったので、もう少し暖かかったら動物ももっと動いてくれたのかなと思います。バスの中では皆余りしゃべることなく、話し上手なバスガイドさんの話を聞いていました。バスガイドさん自身も、進行方向を向いて喋る等、コロナなので気を遣わていました。

We went on a family tour to Asahiyama Zoo. I was worried about the two-hour bus ride, but the bus guide's stories were fascinating. We heard about how prisoners built the roads and local tales. At the parking area, the bus guide gave us discount coupons, and we bought souvenirs and enjoyed soft serve ice cream, making the time fly by. At the zoo, I was able to see the wolves I wanted to see, and we spotted tiger paw prints in the snow, showcasing their large paw pads. However, I was disappointed that I couldn't see the many penguins swimming in the tunnel aquarium or the polar bear swimming in the tunnel. It was cold, so many animals were curled up. It was a lot of fun to visit the zoo with my grown-up kids after a long time.

家族で旭山動物園ツアーに行きました。２時間くらいバスの乗車時間がかかるとの事で心配していましたが、バスガイドさんの話が興味深く、囚人たちが道路を作った話や地元の話が聞けたり、パーキングエリアでは、バスガイドさんから割引券をもらい、お土産を買ったりソフトクリームを食べたり、あっという間に時間が過ぎました。動物園は、見たかったおおかみが見れたり、雪にトラの足跡が残り大きな肉球が見れたりしました。しかし、たくさんのペンギンがトンネルの水槽の中を泳いでる姿や、白熊が水槽トンネルで泳いでいるのが見たかったですが残念ながら見れませんでした。寒かったので、丸まってる動物も多かったです。大きくなった子供たちと久しぶりに動物園に行きましたが楽しかったです。

This time, we were half resigned to the fact that the meeting place and planned route would be impossible due to the bad weather. However, the driver was very accommodating and made significant changes. For us, who had never driven on snowy roads, it was a wonderful experience to safely enjoy the beautiful winter scenery of Eastern Hokkaido. It became a great memory! Thank you very much! ✨

今回は悪天候で集合場所も予定コースも
無理だろうと半ば諦めておりましたが
ドライバーさんとのやりとりで大幅な変更を
快く対応して下さいました　
雪道を走った事のない我々にとって
憧れの道東の雪景色を安心して体感出来
良い思い出になりました！
ありがとうございました✨

It was wonderful to see the dancing red-crowned cranes and the clear mist over Lake Mashu. The hot springs at Lake Akan were also very nice, and I was very satisfied.

タンチョウの踊っているところや霧の晴れた摩周湖が見れてとても良かったです。また阿寒湖の温泉もとても良い湯で大満足でした。

I participated with my mother in her 60s. I have a weak bladder and am not fond of bus trips, and I was worried because this bus didn't have a restroom. However, the intervals between stops weren't too long (about 15 minutes to a maximum of just over an hour), so I didn't feel too uncomfortable.

On the day we participated, we were able to see many red-crowned cranes at Tsurumidai, but I heard that there are days when you can't see them at all.

Also, due to a severe snowstorm, we couldn't go to Lake Mashu, but the places we did visit were wonderful and became great memories, and my mother was very happy.

Since we were scheduled to stay at Lake Akan, we got off there, and just looking around the shops in Ainu Kotan was enjoyable, and we ended up spending a few hours. I thought that if we had only gone to Kushiro, I might have felt a bit unsatisfied.

60代の母と二人で参加。私はトイレが近くバス旅行が苦手で、このバスもトイレがついていなくて不安があったのですが、一つ一つの停車の間隔がそこまで長くなく(15分~最長1時間強位？)、あまり辛さを感じなかったです。
参加した日は鶴見台でタンチョウをたくさん見れましたが、あまり見れない日もあるそうです。
また、猛吹雪のため摩周湖には行くことができませんでしたが、それでも行けた場所は素晴らしくとても良い思い出になり母も喜んでいました。
阿寒湖に宿泊予定だったため、阿寒湖で下車したのですが、アイヌコタンのお店を見てるだけでも楽しく数時間経ってしまったので、もし釧路までにしていたらちょっと物足りなさを感じたかもとは思いました。

It's great that you can visit two tourist spots (a zoo and a waterfall) and a souvenir spot (a lunch place and Ningle Terrace) all in one day, so there's no need to drive yourself or use a taxi. Especially arriving at the zoo just before it opens and being able to see the penguin walk in real-time is a highlight! However, as an animal lover, I found the two hours at the zoo a bit short. But considering the travel time and the time to disperse, it can be seen as reasonable.

The option to choose between soba and Genghis Khan hot pot for meals is also considerate for those who may not like Genghis Khan. Both are warm, making them perfect for the cold season. The Genghis Khan seems to have more volume. The soba is light and not too heavy, and you can enjoy Hokkaido's vegetable tempura.

When it comes to travel, the charm lies in enjoying souvenir time and the lively atmosphere, but honestly, everywhere felt a bit lonely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I hope we can return to a time when we can enjoy ourselves freely again soon.

観光スポット2箇所(動物園+滝)と、土産スポット(昼食場所+ニングルテラス)を一日で巡れるので、自分で車を運転orタクシーを使う必要が無いのはありがたい。
特に動物園到着は開園直前、ペンギンウォークというペンギンの散歩タイムをリアルタイムで見れるのはgood!
ただ動物好きな私的には、動物園2時間がちょっと物足りなかった。
しかし、移動時間や解散時間を考えれば妥当ともいえますが…。

食事を蕎麦かジンギスカン鍋を選べる点も、ジンギスカンが苦手な人にも配慮しているのが良い。
どちらも暖かいので、寒い季節にぴったりです。
ボリューム自体はジンギスカンの方がありそうです。
お蕎麦は重たすぎずあっさりとしていて、北海道の野菜天ぷらが楽しめます。

旅行といえばお土産タイムや賑わった雰囲気を楽しめるのが醍醐味ですが、コロナ禍の昨今では、正直どこも寂しさがありました。
早く疫病が落ち着いて、大手を振って楽しめる時代に戻って欲しいものですね

Normally, I would use a rental car, but I signed up for this tour because I was worried about driving on snowy roads. Fortunately, the weather was nice on the day of the tour, and it seemed like driving wouldn't be an issue, but taking a taxi was definitely more comfortable. Considering the unfamiliar roads and the need to look up stores while driving, the taxi was very convenient as it eliminated the need for prior research and any time loss on the day itself.

This time, we had a 4-hour course. Since we were scheduled to stay at the LOOP hotel in Yoichi, we toured Otaru before heading to the hotel. Both my friend and I had visited Otaru a few times, so we focused on shopping there. When moving from Otaru to Yoichi, we were taken to scenic spots along the coast.

The driver efficiently scheduled our requested and suggested sightseeing spots, allowing us to make the most of our time. He was very friendly, knowledgeable about local information, and our conversations in the car were enjoyable.

普段ならレンタカーを利用するのですが、雪道が心配だったためこのツアーを申し込みました。当日は幸いにも天気に恵まれ運転に支障は無さそうでしたが、やっぱりタクシーは楽。慣れない道やお店を調べながら走ることを考えると、事前の下調べも当日の時間ロスもないタクシーはとても快適で良かったです。

今回は4時間コース。余市のLOOPというホテルに滞在予定だったため、小樽から観光しながら余市へ向かいホテルに送っていただきました。
私も友人も小樽には数回訪れたことがあったので小樽では買い物を中心に。小樽から余市へ移動する際は、海沿いの景勝地に連れて行っていただきました。

運転手さんは、私たちのリクエスト＋ご提案いただいた観光地等をうまくスケジューリングしてくださり効率的に回れました。とても気さくな方で、地元情報もお詳しく、車内での会話も楽しかったです。

On the day when Hokkaido was hit by a blizzard and all flights at New Chitose Airport were canceled, fortunately, flights to Hakodate were still operating. On the night of my arrival in Hakodate, I took advantage of the "Night View Enjoyment Plan from Mount Hakodate for 1 Hour." Due to my circumstances, I changed the plan to focus on the illuminated sights in the city instead of the night view from Mount Hakodate.

At 6 PM, I was picked up from my hotel and we started with the light displays in front of Hakodate Station, then moved on to the Motomachi area. While listening to the driver's detailed guide, we took time for photos at various points. Despite the light snow falling, we efficiently explored the sparkling, quiet night of Hakodate. I truly realized that it wouldn't have been possible to cover so much ground without a sightseeing taxi. Finally, I was dropped off at a conveyor belt sushi restaurant in Kanamori Warehouse District.

In just one hour before dinner, I had a valuable experience and was extremely impressed. Thank you very much.

北海道が暴風雪に襲われ　新千歳空港の発着便は全便欠航となった日
幸いにも函館は飛行機も運行されており　函館に到着した当日の夜に
「函館山からの夜景堪能プラン　1時間」を利用させていただきました。
こちらの都合で函館山からの夜景はしないで　函館の街中のライトアップとめぐるプランに変更していただきました。
18時にホテルに迎えにきていただき　函館駅前のライトアップから元町界隈のライトアップ　運転手さんの詳しいガイドを聞きながら　撮影ポイントでは　撮影の時間を撮っていただき　雪のチラチラ降る中　キラキラ輝く静かな函館の夜を効率よく回っていただきました。
観光タクシーでないと　これだけ効率よくまわることはできないと実感しました。最後は　金森倉庫街にある回転寿司屋さんまで送っていただきました。
夕食までのたった1時間で貴重な体験ができて大感激です。
ありがとうございました。

I think it's possible to get around efficiently. However, on the day I participated, there was a snowstorm, and I couldn't reach Lake Mashu, so I want to try again.

効率よく回れると思います。
ただ、私が参加した日は吹雪で摩周湖へは辿り着けなかったのでリベンジしたいです。

I have long wanted to see the drift ice with my own eyes. After exploring the Shiretoko Five Lakes last summer, I fell in love with Shiretoko. At the hotel (Kita Kobushi Shiretoko Resort & Hotel), I was told, "If you come around mid-February, you can see the drift ice," so I immediately made a reservation at the same hotel after returning home.

Due to the timing of my flight, I couldn't take the winter-only airport shuttle, so I arranged a sightseeing taxi through VELTRA. The driver was very kind and recommended that if I wanted to see the drift ice, he would take me to the boarding point for the Aurora boat and waited for me there. He even bought me freshly made Aurora baked goods, which was truly touching. Along the way, he stopped at photo spots and explained things, making it a healing journey filled with the beauty of nature and the warmth of the people of Hokkaido.

On the way back, unfortunately, the weather turned bad, and I had to return home a day earlier, but the hotel staff were very kind and accommodating, for which I am grateful.

Since many places in Hokkaido are not easily accessible without a car, I highly recommend the sightseeing taxi introduced by VELTRA. You can enjoy a luxurious solo trip with peace of mind.

かねてより、この目で流氷を見てみたいと思っていました。
昨年夏に知床五湖の散策をして、知床に惚れ込んでしまいました。そこのホテル(北こぶし知床リゾート&ホテル)で「２月の中旬頃なら、流氷が見られます。」と言われ、帰宅後すぐに同じホテルで予約しました。
飛行機の到着時間の都合で冬期限定のエアポートシャトルに乗れないため、VELTRAさんに観光タクシーを手配していただきました。
そのドライバーさんがとても良い方で、流氷を見るならお勧めですと、オーロラ号の乗り場まで連れていってくれて、待っていてくれました。焼きたてのオーロラ焼きまで買っていただいて、感動続きでした。道々、写真スポットでは車を止めて説明してくれて、自然の素晴らしさと、北海道人の温かさに癒される旅でした。
帰りは、生憎の荒天になり、１日前倒しで帰宅することになりましたが、ホテルの方も親切に対応してくれて、感謝しています。
北海道は車でないと回れないところが多いので、VELTRAさんの紹介してくれる観光タクシーがイチオシです。
安心して極上の一人旅ができます。

For lunch, I had pork bowl. After that, I bought dessert on the first floor and enjoyed it while soaking my feet. I was glad to see the red-crowned crane, but the travel time was long, and I wish I had a bit more time at Lake Akan. After experiencing the snowmobile for 7 kilometers, it was already time to depart. Lake Akan is really cold, so it's essential to take measures against the cold.

お昼ごはんは豚丼でした。食後にデザートを1階で買って食べて足湯に入りました。タンチョウヅルも見られて良かったですが、移動時間が長いのと、阿寒湖でもうちょっと時間があったらよかったです。スノーモービル7キロ体験したらすぐに出発時間でした。阿寒湖は本当に寒いので防寒対策必至です。

The drift ice and Abashiri Prison were impressive. The view from the Drift Ice Museum was also nice. However, the lunch portion was small. You can choose between a seafood bowl or a hokke set meal, but I chose the seafood bowl, which came with just the bowl, pickles, and miso soup. We were taken to the second floor of the dining area, and after the food was served, that was it. The staff did not come up to the second floor, and there was no warm tea after the meal, nor any way to call the staff. The rice portion was large, but the seafood was minimal. If lunch is simple, the satisfaction level might be low.

We disbanded at Abashiri Station at 16:00, but I immediately went into a hamburger restaurant nearby and had a salad buffet and a hamburger. It might be good for older people, but others might have felt hungry.

流氷と網走監獄は見ごたえがありました。流氷館からの展望景色も良かったです。ただお昼ごはんが少ない。。海鮮丼かホッケ定食が選べますが、海鮮丼を選んで、提供は丼とおしんこと味噌汁。食事どころの2階に通され、料理が出てきてそれっきり。店員さんは2階には上がってこず、食後に温かいお茶もなく、店員さんを呼ぶ手段もなく、、ご飯の量は多かったけど、海鮮の量が少なく。。お昼ご飯が質素だと満足度は低いかも。。

網走駅で16:00解散でしたが、駅近くにあるハンバーグレストランにすぐに入り、サラダビュッフェとハンバーグを食べました。年配の方は良いかもですが、それ以外の方はひもじかったのではないでしょうか。

I took the train from Kitahama Station, and I thought it was short. Abashiri Prison and lunch were also great! It was nice that Notoro Cape was sunny.

途中で電車乗るんですが北浜駅からなんですけど短いと思いました
網走監獄や昼食もよかったです!
能取岬は晴れていてよかったです

I didn't think I would walk that much, so I ended up feeling a bit tired, but the guide taught us a lot of interesting things, which made it enjoyable! The snowy scenery was very beautiful. It seems that seeing frost flowers is quite rare.

あまり沢山歩かないと思っていたので、思ったより歩く時間が多く少し疲れましたが、ガイドさんは色々なことを教えてくださったので楽しくてよかったです！
雪景色はとてもきれいでした。フロストフラワーが見れるのはかなりレアのようです。

I couldn't see the drift ice.
Lunch was disappointing. Previously, there was a large souvenir facility that served salmon chan-chan-yaki.

流氷が見れなかった。
昼飯がしょぼかった。以前は、大きな土産物施設でシャケのちゃんちゃん焼きだった。

This course is recommended for beginners to visit the main tourist spots in Eastern Hokkaido! Summer might be nice too, but especially in winter, Lake Mashu has plenty of clear days, making it the best! The bus guide seemed quite concerned that the explanations during the trip might disturb customers' sleep, but personally, I think the guide is one of the enjoyable aspects, so those who want to sleep should just avoid joining a bus tour. However, as mentioned in the reviews, the one-hour stay at Lake Akan is too short. There are many highlights, so two hours are definitely needed. I would like to join a tour with my family through VELTRA again. The prices are reasonable, and it's a very trustworthy company, so I recommend it!

道東の主要観光地を回るコースとしては、初心者にはオススメです！！夏も良いかも知れませんが、特に冬の摩周湖は晴れ間も多いので最高です！バスガイドさんから、移動中の解説はお客様の睡眠を邪魔しているのでは？とかなり気にされてましたが、私的には、ガイドも楽しみのひとつなので、寝たい人はバスツアーに参加するのは避ければ良いと思います。ただ、口コミにあった通り、阿寒湖の滞在時間一時間は短過ぎます。見どころが多いので、やはり二時間は必要です。また家族を連れてVELTRAさんのツアーに参加したいと思います。値段も良心的でとても信用できる会社なのでオススメです！

The weather forecast for the day showed a southwest wind. My worries were confirmed! Still, once we headed out to sea, we were able to see everything clearly. Thank you so much, it was really great!

当日の天気予報を見たら南西の風になっていました。私の不安が的中！それでも沖に出ると、まとまって見ることが出来ました。本当にありがとう良かったです

I’m not used to winter in Hokkaido, so I was scared to rent a car, which is why I requested this tour. They picked me up at the airport, took me to several places I had mentioned in advance for sightseeing, and then dropped me off at my hotel. Since there were four of us, it felt very affordable when split among us.

冬の北海道は慣れてないので怖くレンタカーを借りてとはできないので、このツアーをお願いしました。空港に向かえにきてもらい、何箇所か事前に言ってた所に観光に連れて行ってもらいホテルに送ってもらいました。4人だったので割るとすごくお得に思いました。

I enjoyed the bus tour with the guide's fluent and calm explanations (laughs). The Asahiyama Zoo in winter was cold (^_^;). As the bus guide mentioned, it was difficult to see the animals from warmer climates, but I was able to see the penguins more slowly on the way back than on the way there (ヽ(•̀ω•́ )ゝ). In the end, I was so happy that they thoroughly checked the drop-off location that I almost cried ♡. I'm used to the snow, but I definitely want to visit Hokkaido in spring. I would be happy to make a reservation for the next time.

バスガイドさんの流暢で淡々と説明しながらのガイドツアーが好きでした（笑）
冬の旭山動物園は寒かった(^_^;)
バスガイドさんがはなしていたとおり、暖かいところの動物を見るのは難しく、ペンギンは、行きより、帰りを見るのがゆっくり見えましたヽ(•̀ω•́ )ゝ
最後、降りる場所の相談を確り調べてくれて涙が出るほど嬉しかった♡
雪は慣れてますが、やはり春の北海道行ってみたい。次も予約出来たら嬉しい

Despite it being New Year's, we were able to visit several places that delighted my elementary school-aged child, making our trip very enjoyable and reassuring. I would like to use your services again. Thank you very much.

お正月にもかかわらず、小学生の子供が喜ぶ場所を何箇所も回ってくださり、とても楽しく安心して旅行ができました。また利用させていただきたいです。ありがとうございました。

Only five of us participated, but the tour went ahead because the highways were not closed. It was my first time seeing a blizzard and whiteout conditions, with police cars leading the way and vehicles generally driving with their turn signals on. Sitting behind the driver, the experience of the tour bus navigating the icy roads was thrilling. I am very grateful to the guide and the driver for safely delivering us to our destination.

Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya were as beautiful as rumored. Lake Shikotsu was quite rough. We also enjoyed a delicious lunch. In the morning, the ropeway at Mount Usu had stopped, but it resumed operation, and we walked along the promenade in the snowstorm. I regretted it a little. (laughs)

Overall, it felt more like an experience of cold and snow, but living in a region with little snow, it was fresh and enjoyable. Thank you very much.

たった5名、雪で悪天候の中、しかし高速道路が通行止めになっていなかったため、催行して頂きました。猛吹雪＋ホワイトアウトで反対車線はパトカーが先導していたり、車が総じてウィンカーをたいて走る光景は初めてでした。運転手席後ろの席でしたので、凍結した道をゆく観光バスはスリル満点でした。安全に最後まで送り届けて頂き、ガイドさん、運転手さんには大変感謝です。

支笏湖、洞爺湖は噂通りの美しさ。支笏湖は大荒れでした。
お昼も美味しく頂きました。
有珠山も午前は止まってしまったロープウェイを再開していただけて、吹雪のなか遊歩道を歩いてみました。少し後悔しました。笑

とにかく寒さ体験というか、雪体験という感じではありましたが、雪の少ない地方在住のため、新鮮で楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。

I was very satisfied with the tour that allowed us to visit Lake Shikotsu, Lake Toya, and Mount Usu in one day, as it wouldn't have been possible without a bus tour. The hot pot lunch was also delicious. It was a tour that made me truly feel like I was in Hokkaido.

支笏湖、洞爺湖、有珠山を一日で巡るのは、バスツアーでないとできないので大満足です。鍋御膳の昼食も、美味しかったです。北海道に来たことを実感できるツアーでした。

Arranging transportation by yourself can be a hassle with transfers for both buses and trains, but this tour is very convenient as it takes you directly from the station to the zoo without any transfers. On the way back, you can rest if you're tired, and you can safely buy souvenirs at the service areas or the zoo along the way.

It's a small zoo, so even if you take your time to look around, have a meal, and buy souvenirs, 190 minutes can easily pass, leaving you wondering how to fill the time (laughs). There is a free indoor rest area, so I think it's better to bring your own lunch rather than buying it inside the park.

自分で手配するとバスも電車も乗り換えが面倒ですが、こちらのツアーは駅から動物園まで乗り換えなしでとても楽です。帰りは疲れたら寝ても大丈夫ですし、途中のSAや動物園で安心してお土産を買えますよ。

小さい動物園なのでゆっくり見て、食事してお土産買っても190分はたっぷり過ぎて時間つぶしに困ってしまいました（苦笑）
無料の屋内休憩所があるのでお昼は園内で買うより持参して行く方が良いと思います。

I had always wanted to visit Asahiyama Zoo, and the moment I decided to go to Sapporo, I promised myself that I would definitely go! However, since I usually live in an area without snow, I was a bit scared to rent a car and drive myself, so I joined this bus tour.

In the end, participating in this tour was definitely the right choice. The bus was clean and well-maintained, the driver's driving was careful, which made me feel safe, and the bus guide was very enjoyable, sharing fun and detailed stories about Hokkaido's history, making the travel time very meaningful.

During a restroom break at Sunagawa Highway Oasis, I was able to enjoy delicious cream puffs and soft serve ice cream from Kitakaro. At Asahiyama Zoo, I was truly happy to see the cute animals. I was looking forward to seeing the hippos swimming, as the guide mentioned how amazing they were, and they really were lively and adorable. The hippos' back legs were so clumsy and cute, it was very soothing to watch.

The penguin walk was an unexpectedly adorable traffic jam, and I could have watched them forever. I would love to come back during the warmer season next time. I would like to rely on this service again then.

Oh, unrelated to the bus, I had to wait in a long line to eat lunch, which unfortunately reduced my time to see the animals, and that was my mistake. I recommend buying something to eat in advance.

ずっと旭山動物園に行きたくて、今回札幌に行くことが決まった瞬間絶対に行くぞと誓いました！
でも、普段雪のない地域で生活しているため、レンタカーを借りて自分で運転するのは怖いなと思いこちらのバスツアーに参加しました。
結果、こちらに参加して大正解でした。
車内は綺麗で掃除も行き届いており、運転手さんの運転は丁寧で安心して乗っていられたし、バスガイドさんはとても楽しい方で、北海道の歴史など楽しく詳しくお話ししてくださり、大変有意義な移動時間を過ごせました。
途中でトイレ休憩に寄った砂川ハイウェイオアシスでは、北菓楼の美味しいシュークリームとソフトクリームも食べることが出来ました。
旭山動物園では、かわいい動物達を見られて、本当に幸せでした。
ガイドさんに水の中で泳ぐカバがすごいと教えていただいたので楽しみにしていましたが、本当に生き生きと泳いでいてとてもかわいかったです。カバの後ろ足がころんとしていてすごく可愛くて癒されました。
ペンギンのお散歩は想像以上の可愛さの大渋滞で、ずっーと見ていられました。
次は暖かい時期にもまた来たいです。
その時はまたこちらにお世話になりたいと思います。
あ、バスとは関係ないのですが、お昼ご飯を食べるのにすごく並ばないといけなくて、せっかくの動物を見る時間が減ってしまったのは私の失敗でした。
何か食べられるものを事前に買って行かれることをお勧めします。

I wanted to have a memorable experience in Hokkaido for the first time, so I participated in a tour. On the day of the tour, there was heavy snow, and the weather was such that we almost experienced whiteouts several times on the way to Lake Shikotsu. However, it was a completely private tour, and I was able to enjoy the unique winter scenery of Hokkaido, making it a wonderful experience. The guide was very kind and had an interesting way of speaking, and the Hokkaido gourmet food we were introduced to was all very delicious. Thank you for the wonderful time.

初めての北海道で思い出に残る体験をしたいと思いツアーに参加させて頂きました。
当日は大雪で支笏湖までの道中何度もホワイトアウトしそうな天気でしたが、完全プライベートツアーで真冬の北海道ならではの景色を堪能することができ、素晴らしい体験になりました。
ガイドの方もとても親切で話も面白く、教えて頂いた北海道グルメもどこもとても美味しかったです。
素敵な時間をありがとうございました。

It snowed today, but thanks to the bus, I was able to visit Lake Shikotsu, Lake Toya, and Mount Usu all in one day, and I am very satisfied. I had low expectations for lunch based on the reviews, but it was served warm, which was great. It was also nice to enjoy the view of Lake Toya while having lunch.

雪が降る日になりましたが、バスのお蔭で、支笏湖、洞爺湖、有珠山と一日で巡ることが出来て大満足です。口コミを見て期待していなかった昼食も、ちやんと温かい状態で出していただきました。昼食を食べながら洞爺湖の景色を楽しめるのも良かったです。

I went on a day trip bus tour to Asahiyama Zoo. I was worried about whether I could see everything in the three hours we had, but I was able to see most of the animals I wanted to. Asahiyama Zoo is designed using the slopes of the area, and bus groups enter through the East Gate at the top of the hill. I researched efficient ways to explore online beforehand, and it was recommended to go counterclockwise regardless of which gate you enter, so I followed that advice. However, I was disappointed that I couldn't see the penguin walk, which starts around late December. I think it's important to have sufficient winter clothing if you visit in winter.

旭山動物園日帰りバスツアーに行きました。滞在時間が３時間なので回れるのだろうか？と心配でしたが見たかった動物たちは大体見ることができました。また旭山動物園は坂を利用して作られた動物園で、バス団体客は坂の上の東門から入場することになります。事前にネットで効率の良い回り方調べ、どの門
から入場しても反時計回りが良いとのことでしたので、その通り回りました。ただ、ペンギンの散歩は12月下旬位からとのことで、今回は見ることができず残念でした。冬に行く場合は十分な防寒対策必要だと思います。

Due to the weather, we couldn't go out on the lake and ended up having a canoe experience at the river mouth. The staff were kind and friendly, but it was disappointing that the water was murky and we couldn't see any fish. I would like to participate again in the summer if there’s another opportunity.

天候で仕方がないけれど湖には出られず、河口でのカヌー体験になりました。スタッフの方は優しく親切でしたが、水が濁っていて魚を見ることができず残念でした。またチャンスがあれば夏にでも参加したいです

Thank you for suddenly changing the course to avoid the areas with light rain. However, I was satisfied that I could ride the sightseeing boat at Onuma Park.

小雨で見晴らしのいい所はやめてコースを急に変更してくれてありがとうごさいます
でも大沼公園の遊覧船には乗ることができ満足です

It was great to be able to efficiently tour around since it was a bus tour. Along the way, I was able to see red-crowned cranes, swans, and deer, which made me feel the essence of Hokkaido. However, personally, I felt that the stay at Lake Akan was a bit long. It would have been perfect if the return time was arranged to match the sunset in Kushiro.

バスツアーなので効率よくまわる事ができ、よかったです。
途中、丹頂や大白鳥や鹿も見る事ができ北海道を感じる事ができました。
ただ個人的には阿寒湖は滞在時間長かったような気がします。釧路の夕日の時間に合わせて帰りの時間が組んであれば最高でした。
