All Reviews for Lake Shikotsu Tours

At that time, I didn't go to Lake Shikotsu because the wind was strong, but I experienced canoeing on the river. The river was very beautiful, and paddling on the water was a fun summer activity. On the day, we had a canoe experience with several groups led by one instructor, but since I was in a young group, the pace was fast. Instead of enjoying my first canoeing experience, there were several moments where I was desperately paddling to keep up. I know it's partly my lack of stamina, but I would prefer if we could go at a more moderate pace instead of matching the faster ones. Alternatively, if young people could be grouped together, I think it would have made for the best summer memory.

当時は風邪が強く支笏湖には行きませんでしたけど、川の方でカヌーを体験しました。
川はとても綺麗で、水の上をカヌーで進むのは夏のアクティビティでは楽しかったです。
当日はインストラクター1人に何組かでカヌー体験をしたんですが、若いグループに入ったので進むペースが早く、はじめてのカヌーを楽しむというより、置いていかれないように必死に漕ぐ場面が何度かありました。
体力がない私も悪いのですが、ペースが早い人に合わせるのではなくて、中間くらいのペースでお願いしたいです。
それか、若い人は同じグループにするかをして下されば、夏の最高の思い出になったと思います。

It was a fun experience while feeling the beauty of Lake Shikotsu. Thank you, instructor Joe! I didn't have much confidence in my physical strength, but you guided me well, and I had a great time.

支笏湖の綺麗さを感じながらの楽しい体験でした。インストラクターのジョーさんありがとうございました！体力にそんなに自信がなくてもうまく誘導してくださって楽しかったです。

The young man was very enthusiastic and took a lot of photos for us. It was a great experience; the lake is beautiful, and the activities were very enjoyable. I really recommend it to everyone. Having some activities during the trip is really fun! Highly recommended!

小帅哥非常热心给我们拍了特别多的照片，非常好的体验，湖很漂亮，活动很愉快，真的推荐大家。旅行中有点活动还是很快乐哒！超级推荐！

The weather was bad and there was fog, so it was disappointing. Next time, I think I'll check the weather forecast and plan my schedule accordingly.

天気が悪かったし霧も掛かってたので、残念でした。次回は天気予報を見てスケジュールを立てようと思います。

It was a day blessed with good weather, allowing us to fully enjoy the great nature of Hokkaido. At the Usuzan Ropeway, we had plenty of time to explore the summit and visit the bear ranch. Thanks to the efficient guide and the friendly driver, we had a wonderful time.

天気に恵まれて北海道の大自然を満喫できた1日でした。有珠山のロープウェイでは山頂を散策してからクマ牧場を観る時間もたっぷりとありました。テキパキとしたガイドさんと感じのいい運転手さんのおかげで楽しい時間を過ごせました。

We visited during the day with our family of four (two brothers aged 10 and 6) before watching the night game at Escon.

First, we went out to Lake Shikotsu for a commemorative photo with the magnificent scenery as a backdrop. However, there were some waves, so we later enjoyed ourselves on the Chitose River.

The beautiful emerald green Chitose River had a gentle current, and the kids were thrilled to experience the fun of steering their own boats! As we had plans for the evening, it was also a relief for us parents not to get too worn out. (On the Chitose River, you can also enjoy peering into the clear bottom.)

The soft serve ice cream from Iwase Farm, recommended by our guide, and the cheese potato mochi we had while looking at the lake were exceptional and very soothing! (I was glad we didn’t eat at the airport!)

We also received videos of fish swimming underwater, and they provided a complete set of rain gear, boots, and life jackets for the kids free of charge. It was truly attentive service. I felt that we should have taken more time to relax at Lake Shikotsu; I highly recommend it!

エスコンでナイター観戦日の昼間に家族4名(10歳、6歳の兄弟)で伺いました。

始めに支笏湖に出て雄大な景色をバックに記念撮影、ただやはり波があり、その後は千歳川で楽しみました。

綺麗なエメラルドグリーンの千歳川は流れが穏やかで、子ども達は自力で操縦する楽しさを体験できとても盛り上がっていました！夜予定があったので親としても腕がバリバリにならずに済んだのも助かりました。(千歳川だと透明な底を覗き込むのも満喫できます)

湖を見ながら食べた、ガイドのお兄さんオススメの岩瀬牧場のソフトクリームと、チーズいももちも格別で癒されました！(空港で食べなくて良かったと思ったほど笑)

水中を泳いでいる魚の動画も頂いたり、子供用の上下合羽と長靴、ライフジャケットも一式無料で貸して頂けたり、至れり尽くせりです。もっと時間をとって良かったなと感じた程、支笏湖のんびり出来てオススメです！

I needed an umbrella because of the rain. The bus had audio guides available through earphones, so I wasn't bored. I enjoyed nature, including a visit to the crater from the Usuzan Ropeway. At the optional Bear Ranch, I was able to see bears of different ages and felt a connection with the bears that were around my age. Their sleeping姿 and the way they ate snacks while lying down were both amusing and brought smiles to my face. The meals, including seafood and meat, were delicious.

雨で傘が必要でした。バスの中はイヤホンを使用しての案内があり、退屈しませんでした。有珠山ロープウェイから噴火口見学できるなど自然満喫です。オプションのクマ牧場では年齢別のクマを見て自分と同じくらいの年代のクマに親近感が持てたり、寝ている姿や寝ながらおやつを食べる姿が、おかしくもあり笑顔になりました。お食事も海産物、お肉など美味しかったです。

I joined this tour because I can't drive. We were able to visit two main lakes in one day, and the time allocation was just right. The meals were also very delicious.

車を運転できないので、このツアーに参加しました
一日で二つのメインの湖に行くことができ、時間配分も
ちょうどよかったです。お食事もとてもおいしかったです

The weather was nice, and the scenery was amazing, but it was quite hot for June, which was tough. However, the lunch at the hotel was delicious, and the view from the window was great.

天気が良くて、景色は、最高でしたが、６月にしては、暑くて大変でした。
ただ、ホテルの昼食は、おいしくて、窓からの景色もよくて良かったです。

I had only been to Hokkaido on group tours organized by travel agencies. I searched for a bus tour to visit my grandchild in Sapporo and decided to join this tour.

I was moved by the scenery at places I visited for the first time, such as Lake Shikotsu, Lake Toya, Showa Shinzan, and Mount Usu.

The journey from the ropeway to the observation deck was quite challenging for my husband and me, as we are over 70, but it was absolutely wonderful and has left a lasting impression on me. I'm really glad I participated in this tour. My grandchild in Sapporo said to come again. While I'm still healthy, I would like to join another Beltora tour.

Thank you to the driver and guide for your support!

いつも旅行会社の団体ツアーでしか北海道行ったことがありませんでした。札幌の孫に会いに行き、何かバスツアー🚌検索していてこのツアーに参加させて頂きました。
支笏湖、洞爺湖、昭和新山、有珠山初めて行くところばかりでその景色に感動しました😊
ロープウェイ🚡から降りて、展望台迄の道のりは、70過ぎの私達夫婦には大変でしたがもう素晴らしくて目に焼き付いています。このツアーに参加して本当に良かった。札幌の孫から又来てねとの事。元気な間に又ベルトラツアーに参加したいと思います。
ドライバーさんガイドさんお世話になりありがとうございました👵

I would like to make the following comments:
1. I wish we could have spent a bit more time at Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya. Especially at Lake Toya, since there is a lunch break, it might be tough, but if we had a little more time, I would have liked to take a sightseeing boat ride.
2. I understand that the toilet breaks are necessary, but before lunch at "Mushroom Kingdom," the guide recommended "mushroom soup," which I tried. However, the miso soup at lunch by Lake Toya was also "mushroom soup." I think there is room for reconsideration regarding the location and timing of the toilet breaks.
3. The guide from Chuo Bus was pleasant and friendly, just like during the half-day course I participated in last year (2024). I really felt their professionalism.

以下コメントさせていただきます。
①支笏湖、洞爺湖の滞在時間をもう少し取ってもらいたかった。
　特に洞爺湖は昼食時間があるので、厳しいのかと思いますが、
　もう少し時間があれば、観光船への乗車をしたかったです。
②トイレ休憩の関係もあるので、致し方なしと思いますが、
　昼食前の「きのこ王国」でガイドさんから「きのこ汁」を進められたので、
　食したのですが、洞爺湖の昼食の味噌汁も「きのこ汁」でした。
　トイレ休憩の場所と時間は、再考の余地ありと思いました。
③中央バスのガイドさんは、去年(2024年)参加した半日コースの時も、
　今回の時も感じが良く、親近感を持って接してくれるところは、
　さすがにプロだと思いました。

It was unfortunately rainy, but it was great that they took us by bus. Both the guide and the driver were very pleasant, and we had a very meaningful time. Personally, I really enjoyed the bear ranch! It was adorable to see them catch cookies!

あいにくの雨でしたが、バスで連れて行ってくれるのはよいことです。
ガイドさんもドライバーも感じのよい方々で大変有意義な時間を過ごせました。
個人的にはクマ牧場が楽しかったです！
クッキーをナイスキャッチする姿が可愛いかったです！

It was a fulfilling day! The number of participants in the tour was fewer than I expected, but it was great to visit various places rather than going around individually. Lake Shikotsu was very beautiful. I initially didn't have high expectations for lunch, but it turned out to be really luxurious and delicious. If I have the opportunity to come again, I would like to try other tours as well!

充実した一日になりました！
ツアーに参加した人数は思っていたより少なかったですが、あちこち個人でまわるよりいろんなところに行けたのはとても良かったです。支笏湖はとても美しかったです。昼食は、はじめはそんなに期待してなかったのですが、本当に豪華で美味しかったです。また来る機会があれば、他のツアーにも参加してみたいと思います！

The weather was wonderful, and the content of this bus tour was excellent. I accompanied my family on a work trip to Hokkaido and enjoyed my free time to the fullest. The female bus driver drove carefully, and the tour guide was friendly, very kind, and had enjoyable conversations, making for a pleasant trip. Thank you very much. I definitely want to participate in the tour again.

お天気にも恵まれ、今回のバスツアーの内容にも恵まれて最高でした。
家族の仕事で北海道に帯同して自由な時間を満喫しました。
女性バスドライバーさんの運転は丁寧、添乗員さんは親しみやすくとても親切でトークも楽しく気持ちの良い旅行を過ごさせていただきありがとうございました。
又、必ずツアーに参加したいと思います。

The scenery is amazing! The clear blue of Lake Shikotsu is truly beautiful. The bottom of the kayak is transparent, so I wanted to take my time looking at the lake bed, but there was so much moving around in the kayak that I didn't have much time to relax and enjoy it, which was a bit disappointing.

景色は最高！支笏湖のクリアブルーが本当に美しいです。カヤックの底が透明なので、もっとゆっくり湖の底を見たかったのですが、カヤックでの移動が多くてあまりのんびり見ている時間が無く、慌ただしいのが残念でした。

The scenery from Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya was very beautiful!
Also, I enjoyed a delicious lunch.
Thank you! 😊

支笏湖、洞爺湖からの風景とても良かったです♪
また、昼食も美味しく頂きました。
ありがとうございました😊

I had a great time. It was my first experience with SAP, and I was worried about whether I could stand on the board, but the staff kindly taught me, and I was able to stand, which made me very satisfied. I was also grateful for all the photos they took.

楽しい時間を過ごせました。SAPは初めてでボードに立てることができるのか心配でしたが、スタッフの方が親切に教えていただき何とか立つ事ができ満足です。写真もたくさん撮っていただきありがたかったです。

I visited Hokkaido with the intention of experiencing something beyond just sightseeing, so I participated alone. The instructor was very engaging and made the experience enjoyable, allowing me to bond with the other participants. I thoroughly enjoyed the crystal-clear waters and the magnificent nature, creating unforgettable memories.

せっかくの北海道。観光だけでなく、何か体験したいと思い立ち、1人で参加しました。インストラクターの先生がとても楽しく盛り上げてくださって、一緒に参加した方々とも仲良く体験できました。どこまでも透明な水と雄大な自然を満喫し、忘れられない思い出になりました。

It was great that we could efficiently visit places we wouldn't normally go to on our own through the bus tour. We even experienced a blizzard at high altitudes, which allowed us to fully enjoy Hokkaido. The lunch was also a well-balanced meal, and I was very satisfied.

自分たちでは、なかなか行けないような
ところを、
バスツアーで効率良く回れたのが
良かったです。
標高が高いところは、
猛吹雪も体験でき、The北海道を満喫できました。
lunchもバランスのよい食事だ
大満足です。

I strained my ligament first thing in the morning and could barely walk, but I'm really glad I participated. Thank you very much for all your help. I would like to join again in a different season. Thank you!

朝イチで靭帯を伸ばしてしまい歩くのもやっとでしたが参加してほんとに良かったです。
大変お世話になりました。
まだ違う季節にも参加したいです。
有難うございました。

It was a very cold day, but both Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya were very beautiful. The view from Mount Usu was also wonderful, and I was very satisfied.

とても寒い日でしたが、支笏湖、洞爺湖ともとてもきれいでした。
有珠山からの眺めも素晴らしく、大満足でした。

I thought it was cold, but it didn't bother me.
I enjoyed the ropeway at Mount Usu.
Everyone was punctual, and the movement and shopping went smoothly without any concerns.

寒いと思ったが.気にならなかった。
有珠山の.ロープウェイ楽しめたね。
時間も皆さん確実に守り移動.買い物も.気にならず.スムーズだった。

It was cloudy when I left Sapporo. I'm glad I didn't get caught in the rain. The wind was strong everywhere, but it was very beautiful. It was my first time participating, and it was great. I want to go again in the summer.

札幌出る時曇りでした
雨に合わずよかったです
どこも風が強かったけど
とっても綺麗でしたー
初めて参加でしたがよかったです
次は夏に行きたいです

I was very impressed by the kind response from VELTRA when I asked a few questions before the tour. Thank you very much. Since it was winter, the objects at the Silo Observation Deck were not set up, and the sofas on the terrace of Mount Usu were covered in snow, but I had a great time until the end.

ツアー前にいくつか質問させていただいた時のVELTRAさまの対応がとても親切で感動しました。本当にありがとうございました。冬季なのでサイロ展望台のオブジェが設置されていなかったり有珠山のテラスのソファが雪に覆われていたりしましたが最後まで楽しくすごせました。

I had a very meaningful day filled with places I wanted to visit around Sapporo. The lunch was plentiful and delicious, and the view of Lake Toya from the restaurant was also very beautiful.

1日で札幌近郊の行きたかった場所が満載でとても有意義な1日になりました。
昼食も量も多く美味しくレストランからも洞爺湖の景色もとても綺麗でした。

For the people of Hokkaido, it felt like spring had arrived, with temperatures and clear skies no different from those in the Kanto region, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

From the top of Mount Usu, I was moved by the grandeur of Showa Shinzan and Lake Toya, the miracles of the Earth, and the local efforts to coexist with active volcanoes.

Usually, the temperature is significantly lower when getting off the ropeway compared to the base of the mountain, but this time I didn't mind at all and was able to fully appreciate the scenery from the heart.

I sat next to someone of the opposite sex who was also traveling alone on the bus, and our conversation picked up along the way, making me feel the joy of travel once again.

北海道の人にとって、春が来た？というほどの、関東と変わらぬ気温と快晴の空のもと、美しい景色を堪能しました。
有珠山の上から見た、昭和新山、洞爺湖の雄大さ、地球の奇跡、活火山と共存する地元のかたの取組の展示など、全てに感動です！
いつもならロープウェイ降りるとかなり山の下より気温が低いらしいのが、全く気にならず心から景色を堪能できました。
バス席は一人参加で、同じく一人参加の異性の方のとなりでしたが、途中から話が盛り上り、旅の楽しさを改めて感じました。

Considering how much you can do, it's an incredible deal! We stopped by Mushroom Kingdom before lunch, and since we were there, we tried the premium mushroom soup! The lunch seemed a bit lacking for men, so if you can eat, it might be a good idea to have something beforehand. The course to fully enjoy nature was truly the best!

こんなに回れることを考えると破格です！
きのこ王国は昼食前に寄りますが、せっかくなのでプレミアムきのこ汁を頂きました！
昼食が男性だと物足りなさそうな感じだったので、食べれる方は食べといてもいいかもです⭐︎
大自然満喫のコース本当に最高でした♩

The bus tour in sub-zero temperatures was completely different from other seasons, allowing us to enjoy the scenery and food unique to the cold period. There were many foreigners, but as a local, I also had a great time. Both Mount Usu and Showa Shinzan are representative volcanoes of Hokkaido, and the winter scenery was breathtaking.

氷点下というなかでのバスツアーは、他の季節とはまったく違っていて、寒い時期だからこその景色や食を楽しめました。外国人が多かったですが、地元民である私も存分に楽しめました。有珠山も昭和新山も北海道を代表する火山ですが、冬景色は圧巻でした。

I have visited Sapporo in winter many times, but I challenged myself with a bus tour for the first time. The highlight was the Usuzan Ropeway, but upon hearing that the temperature at the summit was minus 10°C, I braced myself. The initial experience and sensation were truly moving. I strongly felt that I want to visit both Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya again in spring and autumn. The commentary through the earphones on the bus was also comfortable, and my wife and I confirmed that we had a fulfilling trip. Thank you for your assistance.

冬の札幌に何度も来てますが、初のバスツアーにチャレンジしました。
有珠山ロープウェイが最大の楽しみでしたが、頂上がマイナス１０℃と聞き、身を引き締めました。初体験の初感覚、まさに感動でした。支笏湖も洞爺湖も、また春秋に訪ねたいと強く感じました。
バス内のイヤホンの解説も快適で、妻と充実の旅を確認し合いました。
お世話になりました。

I was blessed with clear weather during the winter tour and enjoyed the snowy scenery of Lake Shikotsu's blue waters. I was also satisfied with the experiences at the Usuzan Ropeway and Lake Toya.

雪の季節のツアーで晴天に恵まれて雪景色の支笏湖ブルーを楽しめました。冬の有珠山ロープウェイも洞爺湖湖も楽しめ満足出来ました。
