All Reviews for Top Hokkaido Attractions

I had always wanted to visit the Blue Pond in Biei and the flower fields in Furano. Since going on my own would involve rental car costs and the burden of driving, I decided to join a bus tour for the first time.

We boarded at Sapporo Station, and with good weather and nearly a full bus, we set off. The cheese fondue for lunch was light and just the right amount, while the Hokkaido pork hamburger was well-marbled and easy to eat. I enjoyed a glass of Furano wine, and I was completely satisfied.

Although the lavender season at Tomita Farm had ended, I enjoyed the other flowers. The vast flower fields at Shikisai no Oka were stunning, and the heart-shaped red flowers were a highlight!

I learned that the Blue Pond doesn’t appear blue unless the conditions are just right, but I was satisfied with the blue reflected in the clear sky. In the evening, I was dropped off in front of the Clock Tower for a commemorative photo, then walked to Susukino for a hearty dinner, wrapping up a fulfilling day!

ずっと行ってみたかった美瑛の青い池や富良野のお花畑。自分で行くとなるとレンタカー代や運転手の負担もあり、初めてバスツアーに参加してみました。
札幌駅から乗り込み、お天気も良くほぼ満席の状態で出発。
昼食のチーズフォンデュはあっさりしてちょうど良い量、北海道産ポークハンバーグは脂乗りも良くさっぱり食べれました。
別売の富良野ワインを飲み、お腹いっぱいになりました。
富田ファームのラベンダー時期は終わっていたので他のお花で楽しみました。
四季彩の丘の広大な花畑の中、ハートの赤い花が映えポイントです！
青い池は条件が重ならないとなかなか青く見えないらしいので、青空に映る青で満足としました。
夕方、時計台の前で降ろしてもらって記念撮影、すすきのに歩いて向かい夕飯もしっかり食べて満足な1日でした♪

I think it would be difficult to explore everything on your own, but it was very nice to have the tour guide explain the history of Hokkaido, which I was hearing about for the first time, in an easy-to-understand way.

自分で全て回るのは大変だと思いますが効率良く、初めて聞く北海道の歴史などを添乗員の方に分かりやすく説明いただきとても良かったです

Although the weather was unfortunate and bad, I highly recommend this as you can efficiently visit various places. The tour guide was also very courteous. It's also recommended for the last day since you can drop off at the airport.

運が悪く天気は悪かったものの、様々な場所を効率的に回れるのでかなりおすすめ。添乗員の方も丁寧な対応をしていた。空港で降りることもできるので、最終日にもおすすめ。

It was a late departure at 9:55, so I was glad to have a little extra time after arriving at the airport. Although there were some places with a bit less sightseeing time, the explanations were clear and easy to understand, which was great.

9:55発で遅い時間の出発だったので、飛行場から着いても少し余裕があって、よかったです。観光時間が少し少ない所もあったけど、解説があってわかりやすくてよかったです。

I received very polite and accurate advice. They also recommended a great place for lunch, and when I had some extra time, they guided me to various sightseeing spots. Thank you very much. The view from Sōunkyō and the Kurodake Ropeway was really beautiful.

とても丁寧で的確なアドバイスを頂きました。お昼ご飯もオススメの場所教えて下さって、時間が余りそうになったら色々観光名所案内してくださいました。ありがとうございました。層雲峡と黒岳ロープウェイの眺めがとても良かったです。

You can visit multiple attractions like the zoo, and the tour guide's explanations were easy to understand, making for a truly enjoyable day. If I have the chance to go to Sapporo again, I would love to participate again.

動物園など見どころを複数回ってもらえるし、添乗員さんの説明が分かりやすくて、本当に楽しい1日でした。次に札幌行く機会があればまた参加したいです。

A taxi came to pick me up at the Hakodate Beer Hall. After finishing my beer, I immediately climbed Mount Hakodate. The driver guided me to the observation deck, and I enjoyed the stunning night view as much as I wanted. The ropeway is also captured in the photos. After taking in the view, I quickly took a taxi down Mount Hakodate. There was a line of people coming down the ropeway. I felt really fortunate. After that, I was driven directly to my hotel while enjoying the illuminated Motomachi Church group from the car window. I was able to spend my time pleasantly without any wasted moments.

函館ビアホールにタクシーが迎えに来てくれました。ビールを飲み干してさっそく函館山に登りました。運転手さんに展望台まで案内してもらい、最高の夜景を好きなだけ観ました。写真にはロープウェイも写っています。見終わったあとはすぐにタクシーで函館山を下りました。ロープウェイでは下山の人達で行列でした。すっごく得した気分になりました。その後元町教会群のライトアップを車窓から見ながら、直接ホテルに送ってもらいました。無駄な時間がなく気持ちよく過ごせました。

We were blessed with good weather, and especially at Lake Mashu, we could see the entire view beautifully, capturing the background of Mount Shari and Mount Mashu in great photos. I enjoyed Mount Iou as well, but when I returned to the hotel and washed my hands, I felt there was a slight sulfur smell. Due to the limited time at Lake Akan, we used a motorboat, which was a bit expensive, but my family enjoyed it. I think the bus guide did a great job explaining everything, but the other two felt there was a bit too much talking. Additionally, I learned that the Kushiro region has little snow, making it unsuitable for farming and rice cultivation.

好天に恵まれ、特に摩周湖が全景をきれいに見渡せ背景の斜里岳、摩周岳も取り込んで写真もいい具合に撮れた。硫黄山も良かったがホテルに戻って紙を洗うとき少し硫黄臭い匂いがした様な気がした。阿寒湖は滞在時間の関係でモーターボートを利用したが少し高異が家族だけで愉しめた。なお私はバスガイドさんは一生懸命説明してくれて良かった思っているが、残り二人はやや話が多すぎたと言っている。なお、釧路地方は雪が少なく畑作、稲作に適さない理由は勉強になった。

I was with people from overseas, and the guide was very attentive, making it a really enjoyable tour. It was fun. Thank you.

海外の方と一緒でしたが、ガイドさんが気配りできる方でとても楽しいツアーでした。
楽しかったです。
ありがとうございます。

I heard good things about this service from reviews, but I wonder if it depends on the taxi company or the individual driver. I was expecting things like, "If you're going today, it's better to go in this order," "A brief explanation of the landmarks you'll visit," and "Useful information along the way." However, there was none of that. The destination was decided based on my vague information, and there was no conversation during the ride. The only thing mentioned was that if we returned to the endpoint at the end of the contracted time, we would stay for xx minutes at xx. It felt more like just a "taxi" rather than "sightseeing." Even if they couldn't guide us on foot, I wished they would at least share some tourist information during the ride.

口コミでよさそうだとの評判でしたが、タクシー会社というのか、運転手個人によるものなのでしょうか。「今日行くならｘｘとこの順番がいい」「行くことになった名所の簡単な説明」「道中での耳より情報」など期待していたのですが、一切なく、行先はこちらのおぼろげな情報で決まり、道中は一切の会話なし、契約時間終了に終了地点に戻るならｘｘにｘｘ分滞在、ということだけで、”観光”ではなく、単なる”タクシー”でした。歩いてガイドしてくれなくても、せめて車中では観光情報を共有してほしかったです。

I had my first stand-up paddleboarding experience!! The instructor was very kind, cool, and a wonderful person! He taught me how to ride the paddleboard carefully, and I was able to stand on the board right away! I participated as a couple, and we made some really great memories! I want to join again when I go to Hokkaido!

初めてサップ体験させて頂きました！！
インストラクターのお兄さんはとても優しくて、カッコよくて、素敵な方でした！
サップの乗り方も丁寧に教えて下さってすぐにボードの上に立つことが出来ました！カップルで参加させて頂きましたが、とても素敵な思い出が出来ました！また北海道に行くときは参加したいです！！

I had a great time participating in this course. Although I couldn't see the lavender at Farm Tomita because it was out of season, the other flowers were beautifully arranged, which was nice. The flowers at Shikisai no Oka were on a large scale, and they were planted beautifully, making it quite impressive. It was also crowded.

The Blue Pond stands out with the blue of the sky, and I was able to see the beautiful turquoise pond. It was created by a dam, and I'm curious about how long it will last.

本コースに参加して大変楽しむことができました。
ファーム富田でのラベンダーは時期外れで花を見れなかったが、他の花が綺麗に植彩されていて良かったです。四季彩の丘の花は規模が大きく、花が綺麗に植え付けられ見応えがありました。また混んでいました。
青い池は空の青さが目立ちますが、緑青の綺麗な池を見ることができました。堰堤を作ったためにできた池で、いつまでも残るか気になるところです。

The guide, Mr. Sasa, was incredibly entertaining and shared various stories, making the tour very enjoyable with lots of laughter! Although the lavender season has passed, the Shikisai no Oka and Farm Tomita had many other flowers blooming beautifully! The Blue Pond had a bit of cloud cover, but you could still see the blue, and the clouds reflecting in the pond were lovely as well.

Shikisai no Oka is quite spacious, so I wished we had a little more time, but it was sufficient for taking photos! Since I was seated at the front on the roller coaster road, I could really appreciate the slope and enjoyed it! This bus tour is a great way to quickly explore Furano. I previously cycled from Bibaushi Station during a solo trip, which was quite challenging, so this bus tour was fantastic!

ガイドの笹○さんが最高に面白くて、色々とお話ししてくださるのですが、笑いを交えつつのガイドでとても楽しかったです！
ツアーの内容もラベンダーシーズンは過ぎているものの、四季彩の丘、ファーム富田も他の花がたくさん咲いていてとても綺麗でした！青い池は少し雲が多かったのですが、青いのがわかるし、雲が池に映っていてそれも素敵でした。
四季彩の丘は広いので、もう少しだけ時間があればなとは思いますが写真を撮るだけならば、、と思えば充分でした！
ジェットコースターの道も前の方の座席だったので、勾配がよくわかり楽しめました！
富良野をサクッと回るにはとてもいいバスツアーです♪以前一人旅で美馬牛駅から自転車で回りましたがなかなか大変だったので、このバスツアーは最高でした！

This course efficiently combines popular tourist spots in a compact way. I was able to learn various things from the guide, and I definitely think it was much better than exploring on my own! The lunch was also very good, and at this price, it felt like a great deal. The bus guide and driver were always warm and friendly, making the long tour comfortable and reassuring. Thank you very much.

人気の観光スポットをコンパクトに効率よく組み合わせてくれているコースです。
ガイドで様々なことを知ることも出来ました。自分で巡るより断然良かったと思います！ランチの内容もとても良く、これでこの価格はお得感満載でした。
バスガイドさん、運転手さんも常に温かく声をかけてくださって、長時間のツアーでしたが安心に過ごせました。ありがとうございました。

It was an amazing bus tour beyond my imagination! I was able to fully experience the rich nature of Hokkaido, including Lake Shikotsu, Lake Toya, and Showa Shinzan! The lunch was also luxurious, which surprised me! A red fox appeared along the way, making it a very enjoyable tour! Thank you so much!

想像以上の最高のバスツアーでした！
支笏湖も洞爺湖も昭和新山も北海道の豊かな自然をたっぷり感じることができました！お昼ご飯も豪華で、驚きました！
途中キタキツネも現れて、とても楽しいツアーでした！
本当にありがとうございました♪

This is my first trip to Hokkaido, and since it's a course that's difficult to navigate without a car, I opted for a sightseeing bus tour. Surprisingly, the lunch was delicious, the guide was kind, and it was enjoyable and easy.

初めての北海道旅行ですが、車がないとなかなか自分で行けないコースで、観光バスツアーにしました。案外に、ランチの食事もお美味しかったし、ガイドさんも親切で、良かったし、楽でした。

When I participated, there were no foreign guests, and since I was the only participant with an empty seat next to me, I was able to enjoy the tour comfortably! Above all, on that day, Lake Mashu was beautifully clear and looked stunning, like something out of a CG movie. I also spent quite a bit of time at Lake Akan watching Ainu dances and browsing the souvenir shops, so I never felt like I was wasting time. The guide was very kind and full of hospitality, making this tour a great help for those who want to explore Kushiro without a rental car. I think it's a great deal to enjoy a full day on a bus tour at this price!

私が参加した時は外国の方はおらず、1名参加で隣の席も空いていたので快適にツアーを楽しめました！
なによりこの日は摩周湖が綺麗に晴れていて、CGみたいに美しかったです♪阿寒湖もアイヌの舞踊を見てお土産物屋さんを冷やかしてたら結構あっという間に2時間過ぎたので、時間を持て余すことも無かったです。
ガイドさんもとっても優しく、ホスピタリティ満点で、レンタカーなしで釧路を観光したい人にはすごく助かるツアーだと思います。バスツアーで1日楽しめてこの価格は安いと思いますよ＾＾

I was really looking forward to the night view in Hakodate and Hachiman-zaka, and I had a great time with a guide who was knowledgeable about the local area. I chose the 1 hour and 30 minute course, but it felt like time flew by. The driver was very kind, and I highly recommend this for sightseeing in the city.

函館で1番楽しみにしていた夜景や八幡坂、その他にも地元に詳しい運転手さんならではのガイド付きですごく楽しめました。
1時間30分コースを選びましたが、あっという間に時間が過ぎた感じです。
運転手さんもとても親切で、市内観光するなら超おすすめです。

On that day, I was very happy and enjoyed the refreshing, clear weather. The water along the shore of Lake Shikotsu was very transparent, and I discovered beautiful nature. Lake Toya, often referred to as Hokkaido's Mount Fuji, was visible in the distance, and it was a beautiful sight. Showa Shinzan was something I saw for the first time. It seemed to still convey the fear of its eruptions, which made me feel a bit strange. I hadn't planned to visit the bear ranch, but being able to see the bears up close was an extraordinary experience. I felt like I learned something and perhaps grew a little as a person. The adult bears seemed to be fighting over food, and while it was a bit scary to hear their serious growls up close, it made me reflect on the fact that they are a precious part of the natural world. It made me realize the importance of a balanced environment between humans and nature. (Well, I just thought about it, though.)

当日、爽やかな快晴日和なのも、大変嬉しかったし、楽しかった。支笏湖の岸辺の水はとても透き通っていて、美しい自然を見つけた。洞爺湖は、北海道の富士山と言われる？遠くに見えていたので、それは美しい姿であった。昭和新山は、初めてこの目にするものだった。噴火の怖さをいまだ伝えてきているようで、少し不思議な気持ちになった。クマ牧場は、見ないつもりだったけども、織の中にいるクマを目の当たりに出来たのは、これはこれで、非日常を味わうことが出来て、学びというか、人間として少し成長したかなと、思われます。成獣のクマ同士が、餌の奪い合いだと思いますが、本気の唸り声を間地かで聞けて、怖いというものあったけども、これが自然界に生きている一つの貴重な存在（クマ）ということを、改めて考えさせられた。人間と自然界のバランスの良い環境が必要であると、考えさせられた。（まぁ、考えただけだけどもね）

It was a very satisfying experience to visit famous tourist spots in just one day. The tour mostly consisted of travel time by bus, and the time spent at each sightseeing location was relatively short. I felt that this slight lack of time was actually just right.

I also think it's a unique advantage of the tour that the guide can share points that you wouldn't know if you were going on your own.

１日で有名な観光地を回れ、とても満足できる内容でした。
ツアーは、ほぼバスでの移動時間であり、観光地に滞在する時間は短めです。
このちょっと足りないくらいが、ちょうど良かったかなと思いました。

個人で行くと分からないポイントを添乗員さんが教えてくれるのも
ツアーならではの良さと思います。

I enjoyed the night view from Mount Hakodate with a private sightseeing taxi. The driver efficiently guided us to places where we could see the night scenery, allowing us to navigate smoothly even amidst the crowds. He provided very detailed, clear, and interesting explanations about the city attractions, including churches, which was great. I'm grateful to the driver.

函館山からの夜景を貸切観光タクシーで楽しみました。ドライバーの方が夜景の見える場所を要領よく案内してくれ、混雑している中スムーズにまわれました。教会など市内観光で非常に丁寧に分かりやすく面白く説明してくれ大変良かったです。
ドライバーさんに感謝です。

"Private sightseeing taxi course for couples from JR Asahikawa Station to Tenninkyo Hagoito Falls, Asahidake, and Asahikawa Airport for 4 hours."

This was my second time using the service, following last year, and I was surprised to find that we had the same driver as last year. Thanks to that, our conversation flowed even more than before. On the driver's suggestion, we decided to go to Asahidake at the last minute, mainly because the weather was so nice. Asahidake is the highest peak in Hokkaido, standing at 2,291 meters in the Daisetsuzan mountain range. You can take a ropeway to the Sugatami Station at 1,600 meters. I recommend the one-hour course around Sugatami Pond. Be careful with your clothing as it starts to snow around November.

P.S. If you're looking to buy souvenirs in Asahikawa, Aeon, which is directly connected to the station, is very convenient. It also has a supermarket, cinema, food court, and hotel.

「JR旭川駅前〜天人峡羽衣の滝〜旭岳〜旭川空港までの貸切観光タクシー夫婦で4時間コース」
今回は昨年に続き２度目の利用でしたが、偶然にも昨年と同じドライバーさんでビックリしました。そのお蔭で昨年以上に会話が進みました。そこでドライバーさんからのご提案で急遽、旭岳へ行くことになりました。その理由はあまりにも天気が良かったからなんです。旭岳は大雪山連峰の主峰標高2,291mで北海道最高峰。ロープウェイに乗って1,600mの姿見駅まで行けます。オススメは姿見池周遊1時間コースです。11月頃から雪も降りますので服装には要注意。
PS. 旭川でお土産を購入するなら駅直結のイーオンが便利ですよ。スーパーマーケット・映画館・フードコート・ホテルなどもあります。

I used the service around the Obon holiday. We were blessed with such great weather that even the driver was surprised, making it the best tour ever.

Along the way to the Blue Pond, we got caught in traffic, but thanks to the driver's quick thinking, we managed to get out of it and enjoy the Blue Pond without waiting. As a result, we were able to visit all the highlights, which usually would take more than four hours, and we took plenty of memorable photos at each location. It turned out to be the best memory! Thank you so much for the wonderful time!

お盆の頃に利用しました。運転手の方もびっくりするくらいの好天に恵まれて、最高のツアーになりました。
途中、青い池に向かう道では渋滞に巻き込まれましたが、運転手さんの機転のお陰で見事抜け出し、待たずに青い池を楽しむ事ができました。結果、通常なら4時間では足りないぐらいの見どころを全部回れて、それぞれの場所で記念になる写真も撮りまくり&撮っていただき、最高の思い出になりました！楽しい時間を本当にありがとうございました！

This is a tour that departs at 8 AM and visits Lake Mashu, Iouzan, Lake Kussharo, and Lake Akan. We arrived at Lake Akan at 1 PM and were able to take the sightseeing boat at 1:05 PM to see the giant marimo at the Marimo Observation and Exhibition Center. I was also satisfied to be able to eat local dishes like wakasagi tempura rice bowl and crayfish. The guide was kind, and it was an enjoyable tour.

朝、8時に出発して、摩周湖、硫黄山、屈斜路湖、阿寒湖と観光するツアーです。阿寒湖に13時に着き13時5分の遊覧船に乗りマリモ観察展示センターで巨大マリモを見る事が出来ました。郷土料理のワカサギ天丼とザリガニも食べる事が出来満足です。ガイドさんも親切で楽しいツアーでした。

I wanted to see the flowers in Hokkaido, so I signed up for a tour. I participated in early September, and although the lavender season was over, I was able to see a wonderful view that looked like a beautiful carpet of flowers. The audio guide was great, but I also enjoyed the stories from the accompanying guide. I heard that there used to be many more tour courses before COVID, so I hope various courses will increase again in the future.

北海道のお花を見たい！と思い申し込みました。
参加したのは9月上旬でラベンダーの最盛期は終わっていましたが、綺麗な花の絨毯が敷かれているような素晴らしい景色を見ることができました。
音声ガイドだけでなく添乗されていたガイドさんのお話も楽しかったです。
コロナ以前はもっとたくさんのツアーコースがあったそうなので、これからまた色々なコースが増えていって欲しいと思いました。

I wasn't expecting much since the lavender season had ended, but I was very satisfied to see such a beautiful flower field. The cheese fondue for lunch was also very delicious, and I was pleased with that. Most importantly, I had a great day even participating alone.

ラベンダーのシーズンが終了していたので期待はしていなかったが、とてもきれいな花畑が見れて満足でした
昼食のチーズフォンデュもとても美味しく満足でした
そして、何より１人参加でも楽しく１日を過ごせました

We participated as a family of four. Since we could be picked up at the hotel, and the ropeway was expensive and had a long wait time, we decided to use a taxi tour. On the way, we learned about the actual situation in Hakodate, and at Mount Hakodate, we were accurately informed about spots to see the night view, allowing us to take photos from the front row. I would like to use this service again.

家族4人で参加しました。ホテルまで迎えに来てもらえるし、ロープウェイは高いし、待つ時間がもったいないと思い、タクシー観光を利用しました。車内では函館市の実情などを聞きながら現地まで向かい、函館山では夜景が見れるスポットなどを的確に教えて頂き、最前列で写真を撮ることができました。また、利用したいと思います。

Asahiyama Zoo is not very large, so I was able to enjoy it fully in just an hour and a half. The Blue Pond was quite blue and left me impressed.

旭山動物園は、規模はそれほど大きくないですので、1時間30分でも、十分に楽しめました。青い池は、かなり青くて感動しました。

Asahiyama Zoo offers a close-up experience with the animals, making it feel very real. Even in September, it was hot, so it's necessary to be prepared with items like sun umbrellas and hats. You have about three and a half hours to explore, so you can take your time.

旭山動物園は動物との距離が近いのでリアルです。
９月でも暑かったので、日傘や帽子など
工夫が必要です。
時間は３時間半ほどありますので､のんびりと回れます。

I participated with my elementary school child. The way the animals were presented was fun and interesting. Since my child loves living creatures, there was a desire to take a bit more time to look around, and I think we could have enjoyed it more if we had one more hour. This time, we had rice balls for lunch and walked around without taking many breaks, but in the end, we hurried back.

小学生の子供と一緒に参加しました。動物たちの見せ方が楽しく興味深かったです。
子どもが生き物好きなため、もっとゆっくり見たかったという気持ちもあり、後1時間あれば満喫できたと思います。
今回は昼食もおにぎりで済ませ、あまり休憩をせずに見て歩いたのですが、最後はあわただしく戻りました。
