I participated in the morning session. There is a counter for the bus company inside the "Bus Information and Waiting Area" building in front of JR Hakodate Station, where you can receive your official ticket and information pamphlet. Both the waiting area and the boarding stop are easy to find, and the guide provides assistance.
The weather was nice that day. Since it was March in Hokkaido, which is still off-season, there weren't many tourists even though it was a Sunday, making it easy to explore various places.
We were able to visit Goryokaku Tower and the Trappistine Monastery, and we had enough time to look around. There were also many interesting souvenirs for sale, which made it enjoyable.
The guide's stories on the bus were fascinating. I learned interesting details about the characteristics, history, and development of Hakodate. This is truly something special about a bus guided tour. The view from the bus window becomes even more intriguing while listening to such stories.
午前の部に参加しました。JR函館駅前の「バス案内・待合所」という建物内に催行バス会社のカウンターがあり、そこで正式なチケットと案内パンフをもらいます。待合所、乗り込む停留所ともにわかりやすいしガイドさんが案内してくれます。
この日は天気が良くてよかった。3月の北海道はまだオフシーズンなのか日曜だったけど観光客も多くなく、あちこち空いていて観光しやすかったです。
バスから降りて見学できたのは五稜郭タワーとトラピスチヌ修道院くらいでしたが、じっくり見学できたし面白いおみやげ物もたくさん売っていて楽しかったです。
車内でのガイドさんの話も興味深かった。函館の街の特徴や歴史、成り立ちなど興味深い話を聞けました。やはりこれはバスガイドツアーならでは。車窓からの眺めもそうしたお話を聞きながらだとよりいっそう興味がかきたてられますね。

It might be due to the influence of the Spring Festival, but the tourist spots were filled with foreigners. There was only one Japanese person on the bus. That said, there were no particular issues. Although it was cloudy, the view was still good! The scenery is definitely different between visiting in summer and when there is snow. Personally, I prefer the snowy landscape. As for the food, don't get your hopes up. It was just average. The chicken in the hot pot looked thick and delicious, but I didn't eat it because it wasn't cooked all the way through, and I was worried about food poisoning. What a shame.
春節の影響か、観光地は外国人だらけ。

Mr. Ishida was prompt picking us up at curbside at 0900. {He was actually early} The drive was out to a rural part of Kushiro to various crane sanctuaries. The view at each of these places was outstanding. Mr. Ishida explained about the cranes & their revival from the brink of extinction. He had setup an itinerary but was not bound to it. We bypassed one sight, since we had seen it on a previous visit to Kushiro. With this change brought some spare time, so he took us around the seaport & made several stops at scenic points for photographs.
It was a memorable experience. Definitely a highlight in our trip to Hokkaido.
Thank you.

I appreciate that you made it clear that the driver would not be able to speak English and he did try to use an app - but it was so dangerous as he tried to drive and look at his phone that we agreed that he would not do that.
So really what I got was a taxi ride not a private tour.
If the driver had any expertise about Kushiro's nature, he was not able to share it with me.
The first place we visited was basically a bridge with a view over a river, with a few cranes on the horizon.
I understand that this bridge is a famous viewing point. You could say that there are no guarantees where nature is concerned but judging by the fact that there were only two other people there, then I believe that this fact was knowable in advance and we should have gone somewhere else.
The second was a feeding station which did at least afford a view of a number of cranes. Here there were many other people viewing them too, even coaches (proving that - see above - it is possible to know where to go - and where not to)
However, I discovered after my visit, that there are set times for feeding the cranes, so surely I should have been advised about this and my arrival timed to coincide with the feeding.
There would have been much more activity, as birds arrived for the food ...
The third stop was at an observatory which was not very inspiring. And again there was hardly anyone there.
Apparently the roof viewpoint it a highlight but I guess that is in the summer months. In winter it was simply a barren landscape.
I travelled to Kushiro especially to see the cranes. All in all, a disappointing experience.
p.s. The taxi driver himself was courteous and I felt he was a very nice man, so this is NOT a complaint about him. The tour organisers should have put more thought into it - to justify calling it a tour.
Use thank you for this time.
I think that it is good to grasp the occasional state well and to act flexibly since nature is a partner as it says. I keep in mind to carry out good advice for that.
Moreover, I am waiting to come.

What a great tour! My tour guide was waiting for me with a sign when I got off the plane (which was delayed about 20 minutes). We went to the crane center where I could photograph the endangered Tancho, red-cranes cranes, and visit the center. My guide Inoue-San, was so professional, patient and an excellent driver on the snowy mountain roads. We visited Lake Akan, the beautiful caldera Lake Mashu and also Lake Kussharo, with wintering wild Whooper Swans along the shore. We also stopped to see steaming sulfur springs coming out of the bottom of a mountain, another wild crane viewing spot and the overlook of Kushiro Marsh. I was so happy I booked this tour, seeing the Tancho fulfilled a Bucket List item for me and the beautiful lakes and wild swans were icing on the cake. Thank you for such wonderful memories!
I am glad to be very glad.

Great tour to Kushiro area red crane observation points. We are not avid birders...just wanted to see the cranes close up. We were not disappointed. Visited 3 major sites where cranes congregated in January. Took in other sites on history, geology, ecology etc of the area. The weather cooperated for us, beautiful sunny day even if a bit cold, but it was mid January. Partner spoke some Japanese so it was helpful but our driver had a translator device which was also helpful. Great tour, lots of cranes...hundreds of them at each site...yes, really! Well worth the time and cost, and private taxi so much better than a big bus...a big bus wouldn't be able to get to some of the areas. Taxi is best way to go.
Thank you for the review.
I am very glad to be impressed by the Japanese crane of Kushiro which it is proud of in the world.

Upon departing from Sapporo Station Bus Center, we immediately encountered a major traffic jam, arriving at our first sightseeing spot, Lake Shikotsu, an hour later than scheduled. The bus was nearly full, with the second bus joining us later. The composition of passengers in the first bus seemed to be about 60 to 70 percent tourists from Asia. The bus guide's main job was coordinating the timing in Japanese and English, and the explanations were provided in four languages through headphones. The timely explanations made the experience enjoyable. The lunch at Lake Toya was surprisingly delicious, and we also enjoyed the extremely cold summit tour via the Usuzan Ropeway. Given that winter roads in Hokkaido are icy, it would have been impossible to follow this schedule with an unfamiliar rental car, so participating in the tour was a good decision. We arrived in Susukino a little after 7 PM, which was an hour later than planned, but it was within the expected range.

I took a two-night, three-day solo trip from Fukuoka. I wanted to explore various places in a limited time, but I couldn't drive, so I was worried about what to do until I found this plan! I was the only woman participating, but there were other solo travelers as well. The bus rides were comfortable, and I enjoyed the scenery or took the time to sleep during the journey. At the hotel, a table was prepared for me for lunch, allowing me to enjoy my meal without any hesitation.
The main focus of my trip to Hokkaido was to visit Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya, but it would have been difficult for me to do that alone due to the cold and the snow. We departed from Sapporo, but I learned that we could stop at Jozankei Onsen on the way back, so I stayed at a hotel in Jozankei.

During the Obon period, I stayed in Sapporo for three nights, but I wanted to visit some different places, so I joined a bus tour around Furano. The meeting point is the bus center in front of Sapporo Station, where ESTA is located. The tour is organized by Hokkaido Chuo Bus. After receiving my ticket, I waited for a while. There were quite a number of bus tours, and a large crowd of people. Soon, we were guided to the bus and boarded. About 30% of the passengers were Japanese, with the rest being foreigners. The guide provided information in Japanese at key points, but otherwise, a system streamed explanations in four languages: Japanese, English, Chinese, and Korean through earphones. The only sightseeing in Biei was from the bus window, but for the other locations, we had time after getting off the bus, so it wasn't too rushed and was enjoyable. Additionally, the lunch at Furano Wine House consisted of cheese fondue and hamburger, which was quite delicious (the restaurant's policy is to serve it warm), so it was great that it didn't fall into the common issue of "deducting points just for lunch" in such tours.
お盆時期に札幌3泊だったのですが、少し違うところにも行きたくなって富良野巡りのバスツアーに参加しました。集合場所はESTAのある札幌駅前のバスセンターです。主催は北海道中央バスになります。チケットを受け取りしばし待ちます。かなりの数のバスツアーがあって大勢の人がいます。ほどなくしてバスに案内され乗車。日本人は3割くらいで、あとは外国の方ばかり。ガイドさんの案内は要所要所日本語で入りますが、そのほかはイヤホンからの日英中韓の4か国語の解説がシステムから流れます。美瑛の丘だけは車窓観光になりますが、他はバスを降りてから時間があり、それほどせわしないわけでもなく楽しめました。なお、ふらのワインハウスの昼食はチーズフォンデュとハンバーグでこれが結構おいしく(温かい状態で提供したいというお店の方針とのこと)、こういうツアーでよくある「昼食だけ減点」ということにならずとてもよかったです。

The audio guide was available in four languages, and there were many foreign participants from Malaysia, Indonesia, Taiwan, and China.
The course that includes meals and visits both Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya is quite rare, and I think the price is reasonable. Unfortunately, the weather on the day of participation was not great, but even so, there was a rainbow over Lake Toya, and it was very beautiful.
It's much colder than Honshu, so warm clothing is essential. I wore a sweater, but it was still cold...

The travel time between destinations was long, about an hour and a half, but we didn't feel tired and had a fun day. I thought this course was so valuable that I would want to come back to Hokkaido on a nice day and participate again. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hokkaido for the first time. If you get a nice day, it would be the best!
11月8日、この日はあいにくの雨でしたが、友達2人で、初めての北海道、バスガイドさんも、丁寧で、雨でも、大自然さに、感動しました、目的地から目的地の、移動も、長くて1時間半くらいで、疲れも、なく、楽しく1日を過ごすことが、出来、このコースはお天気の、いい日にもう一度、北海道に来て、参加したいと思うほど価値のあるツアーだと、思いました、初めて、北海道に、来た人には、絶対におススメしたいツアーでした、
お天気の良い日に当たったら、最高です、

The weather was gloomy, but I was able to see Lake Mashu beautifully. After leaving Lake Mashu, we departed by bus, and soon the fog rolled in, turning everything completely white—what a lucky experience!
どんよりした天候でしたが、摩周湖綺麗に見ることができました。摩周湖を後にバスで出発どうでしょう、すぐ霧がかかり一面真っ白にラッキーでした

The view of the larch trees changing color from the train window, a family of red-crowned cranes searching for food in a vast field, and three cranes that seemed to be getting along right by the road were truly captivating. I was thrilled to see my first red-crowned cranes. I appreciated the driver's consideration for the animals, as he slowed down to avoid startling the cranes. I was able to see 14 red-crowned cranes and 4 deer, which made my heart feel youthful again.
When we departed in the morning, the temperature was indeed low, so I put on a jacket, but as the bus moved along, both the temperature and my spirits warmed up. The bus guide's memorable explanations of historical sites and the wonders of nature made for a fun and homely sightseeing experience on the bus.
車窓からの落葉松紅葉、広大な畑で餌を探す丹頂鶴の親子、そのような鶴が道路のすぐそばに、仲が良さそうに3羽の鶴いました。初丹頂で感激しました。運転手さんも丹頂鶴が驚かないようにスピードを減速するなど動物への配慮が嬉しかった。丹頂鶴14羽、鹿も4頭も見ることができて心は少年に戻っていました。
朝出発の時は、さすがに気温が低く上着を羽織りましたが、バスが進むにつれて気温も心も温かくなってきました。
バスガイドさんの心に残る旧跡説明、大自然の営み等 話を交えた楽しいバス車内でアットホームな楽しい観光でした。

I participated alone as a woman in my 50s. On the day of the tour, there were two buses, and my bus had 35 passengers. All the sightseeing information was provided through headphones. The tour was available in Japanese, English, Chinese, and Korean, so about 70-80% of the guests were foreigners.
Being a bit greedy, I joined many of the optional activities, and it was helpful that many of them were discounted on this tour. First, we took a sightseeing boat on Lake Shikotsu. The boat had glass walls, allowing us to see into the lake, but unfortunately, the water was murky due to a recent typhoon. However, it was the season for autumn leaves, so the surrounding scenery was stunning.
We spent 85 minutes at Lake Toya. The chicken soup hot pot was very delicious. The dining area had tables arranged by group, so as a solo traveler, I could enjoy my meal without feeling awkward. There were four other solo participants from the two buses, but everyone had separate tables. After finishing my meal early, I strolled around Lake Toya and took a bath. The newly renovated eighth-floor bath was a stylish infinity pool that felt integrated with the lake, and I was very satisfied. There was also a bath on the first floor, which seemed to alternate between men and women at different times, so the men might have been on the first floor at that time. I only had about 30 minutes for the bath due to time constraints, but my body felt warm for a while afterward.
After visiting the crater at Mount Usu via the ropeway, we went to the bear ranch. It was on a smaller scale, so we could feed the bears and enjoy our time within the allotted time.
After visiting the Silo Observation Deck, we had a relaxing break on the way back. I participated in many optional activities, but many people took their time sightseeing, enjoying soft serve ice cream, and spending their time as they pleased.
Perhaps due to cultural differences, there were some guests who were a bit loose with time, but the guide repeatedly reminded us to "go back a little," so everyone kept to the schedule in the latter half (laughs).
It was a tour that allowed us to fully enjoy the nature around Sapporo in just one day.
50代のおばさん ひとり参加です。
当日はバス2台。私のバスは35人の乗客でした。観光案内は全てヘッドホンで聞きます。
日、英、中、韓に対応しているので 外国人のお客さんが7〜8割くらいでした。
欲張りな性格なので オプションにもたくさん参加しましたが このツアーだと割引きになるものが多く助かりました。
まず支笏湖では観光船に乗りました。船内がガラス張りになっていて 湖の中が見られるようですが、少し前の台風の影響で湖が濁っていて そこは残念でした。
ちょうど紅葉の季節だったので 周りの景色は最高でした。
洞爺湖は85分。
食事は鳥スープ鍋がとても美味しいかったです。
食事会場では テーブルがグループごとになっているので ひとりの私は周りに気兼ねなく食事できました。私の他にもひとり参加の方が2台のバスで4人いましたが みなさん別々のひとりテーブルでした。
食事を早めに済ませ 洞爺湖散策をし、入浴もしました。
リニューアルしたての8階のお風呂は湖と一体化したような おしゃれなインフィニティになっていて大満足。 1階にも風呂があり、時間で男女入れ替えになっているようなので、男性はこの時間は1階かもしれません。時間がなくお風呂滞在は30分くらい。大急ぎとなりましたが しばらく身体はポカポカでした。
有珠山ロープウェイで火口を見学した後にクマ牧場へ行きました。
規模が小さめなので クマさんにエサをあげたりして 時間内で楽しめます。
サイロ展望台ので後はまったりおやすみタイムで 帰路。
私はオプションにもたくさん参加しましたが、
各所をゆっくり観光している方も多く、ソフトクリームを食べたり 思い思いの時間の過ごし方が出来ます。
お国柄なのか? 時間に少しルーズなお客さんがいましたが、ガイドさんが何度も [少し前に戻って]と声かけてしていたので 後半は時間を守っていました(笑)
1日で札幌近郊の自然を満喫出来たツアーでした。

I participated with my university student son. A typhoon was approaching, but we were lucky to have good weather. There were many places we wanted to visit, and we were unsure whether to rent a car for sightseeing, but choosing this tour was the right decision. The in-car guidance is through headphones, but since there is a guide for the full day tour, we felt reassured. It's a recommended course where you can enjoy beautiful lakes and vast nature.
大学生の息子と2人で参加しました。
台風が近づいていましたが、好天に恵まれてラッキーでした。
行きたいところがたくさんあり、レンタカーで観光するか迷いましたが、このツアーを選んで正解でした。
車内の案内はヘッドホンですが、丸1日のツアーもガイドさんがおられるので安心でした。
美しい湖、広大な自然を満喫できおススメコースです。

I was worried about whether the service would operate due to the typhoon, but I was glad that our reserved cruise was able to go ahead. It was also nice to check the operational status on the website.
We passed under bridges, saw seagulls and pigeons, and even got to see a rainbow.
There was also an explanation about the Otaru Canal, which made for an enjoyable time.
Next time, I would like to try a night cruise.
台風の後だったので運行されるかどうか不安でしたが、私たちが予約していた便から運行されることとなりクルーズすることができてよかったです。HPで運行状況がアップされていたのも確認できてよかったです。
橋の下をくぐったりカモメやハトがいたり、虹を見る事も出来ました。
小樽運河の説明もあり楽しい時間過ごすことができました。
次回はナイトクルーズをしたいです。

I rode in a rickshaw in the rain, which had just turned from a typhoon to a tropical depression. They provided a fun guided tour without getting wet, taking us to areas that would be difficult to explore on foot. They also took photos at the scenic spots, creating wonderful memories. It was definitely the right choice to ride in the rickshaw.
台風から熱帯低気圧に変わったばかりの雨の中で人力車に乗りました。
雨に濡れずに、徒歩では散策しきれない範囲まで楽しいガイド付きで案内してくれました。
また、撮影スポットでは写真も撮ってくれてとてもよい思い出になりました。
人力車に乗って正解でした。
Thank you very much for riding with Ebisuya Rickshaw. We are delighted that you enjoyed your trip to Otaru. We will continue to strive to ensure you have a great experience next time, so please do visit Otaru again.
