All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

I arrived in Sapporo in the morning and thought about where to go for half a day, so I decided to join a bus tour for easier transportation.

Due to the unfortunate rainy and cloudy forecast, there was only one other group besides us, which made me feel a bit sorry for the driver and guide, but they were very kind and accommodating, which was great.

At the Okurayama Jump Stadium, the lift was stopped due to strong winds, but the jump platform was still quite impressive from below.

It was cold at the Moerenuma Park as well, but I enjoyed seeing a herd of wild deer in the grass and taking photos with the statue of Clark.

It was nice to move comfortably while listening to the announcements and trivia through the earphone guide.

午前に札幌着、半日どこを回ろうか考えて、移動が楽なバスツアーに参加することにしました。
あいにくの雨くもり予報のせいか、参加はうちのほかに1組だけとなんだか運転手さんやガイドさんには申し訳なかったですが、親切かつ感じのよい対応でとても良かったです。
大倉山ジャンプ場では強風でリフトは止まっていましたが、ジャンプ台は下からでもかなり迫力ありました。
羊ケ丘も寒かったですが、野生の鹿の群れが草むらにいたり、クラーク像と写真を撮ったり楽しく過ごしました。
イヤホンガイドでアナウンスやウンチクを聞きながら快適に移動でき良かったです。

I was able to efficiently visit the spots I wanted to see, and I am very satisfied. Also, the guide was very polite and provided a sense of security.

効率よく見たいスポットを回ることができて、大満足です。そして、ガイドさんがとても丁寧で安心感がありました。

I was able to efficiently sightsee in just one day. I thought my stay in Otaru would be long, but it flew by with all the food sampling and souvenir shopping. The guide was also a very pleasant person, which was great.

1日で効率よく観光できました。小樽滞在時間が、長いかなと思ったけど食べ歩きしてお土産探しであっという間でした。ガイドさんもとても感じのいい方でよかったです。

The places I visited were all wonderful and without complaint, but I was disappointed with the inbound customers and the guide. Since they were inbound tourists, there were moments of irritation due to poor manners and differing values. I had acknowledged at the time of booking that it would be the same tour as the inbound group, but I regret not going with only Japanese people. That's my fault.

As for the guide, they were from overseas and trilingual. They had no issues with language and were a lovely person, but it seemed they lacked experience as a guide. Therefore, I think of them more as someone who assists rather than a full-fledged guide.

The content of the guiding was often disorganized, so I believe it would be better to decide in advance what to explain, memorize the script, and use a guiding method where they explain when they reach the relevant scene.

訪れた場所はどこも素敵で申し分なかったのですが、インバウンドのお客様とガイドさんにがっかりしました。
インバウンドなので、マナーの悪さや価値観の違いで、途中イラつくこともありました。申し込み時点でインバウンドと同じツアーになる事は書かれてあったので了承したのですが、やはり日本人だけで行動すればよかったと後悔しています、これは自分が悪いですね。
また、ガイドさんですが、海外出身でトライリンガルの方でした。言語も問題なく人柄も素敵な方だったのですが、どうもガイドの経験が浅いように見受けられました。なので、ガイドと言うよりも補助をしてくれる人程度のアテンドだと思います。
ガイドの内容がまとまりがないことが多かったので、あらかじめ何を解説するのか、セリフを決め、それを暗唱して、その場面に来たら説明するようなガイドの方法を取られたほうが良いかと思います。

Driving the distance ourselves (from Jigokudani to Chikyu Misaki to Lake Toya to Lake Shikotsu) by renting a car would have been quite challenging, but simply riding the bus took us to one breathtaking spot after another, making it physically very easy. Although it was a long 10-hour trip, the time spent at each location was just right, allowing us to enjoy without getting bored.

Along the way, the guide shared interesting stories about Hokkaido's history, highlights of each spot, and recommended souvenirs, which enriched our knowledge in ways that individual travel wouldn't have. The bus seats were comfortable, and we could relax during the journey, so after returning, we were still energetic enough to enjoy dinner in Sapporo city that night.

​自分たちでレンタカーを借りてこの距離(地獄谷〜地球岬〜洞爺湖〜支笏湖)を運転するのはかなり大変ですが、バスに乗っているだけで次々と絶景スポットに連れて行ってくれるので、体力的にとても楽でした。10時間という長丁場ですが、各スポットの滞在時間も適切で、飽きることなく楽しめました。
道中、ガイドさんが北海道の歴史や各スポットの見どころ、おすすめのお土産などを楽しくお話ししてくださり、個人旅行では得られない知識が増えました。バスの座席も快適で、移動中はゆっくり休めるので、帰着後の夜も札幌市内で元気に夕食を楽しむことができました。

I was glad that I could efficiently visit various tourist spots. The guide's explanations were easy to understand, so I was able to enjoy sightseeing.

色々な観光地を効率的に回る事ができて良かったです。
ガイドさんの説明も分かりやすかったので、楽しく観光する事ができました。

You can visit many tourist spots in one day. Looking back, the selection of places to visit was appropriate. It's a busy tour, but I think the cost performance is particularly excellent. I am satisfied.

There were spots I wanted to explore more thoroughly, but that's unavoidable given the number of places we visited.

Also, I was pleased with the friendly assistance and appropriate guidance from our tour conductor, Mr. Yanagyu. Thank you for your hard work! ♪

一日で多くの観光スポットを回われます。後で振り返ると、訪問先の選定も適切でした。忙しいツアーですが、コストパフォーマンスは特に優れていると思います。満足しています。
じっくり見たいスポットもありましたが、これは訪問個所数との兼ね合いで、致し方ないです。
そして、添乗員の柳生さんのフレンドリーな対応と適切な案内も嬉しかったかったです。お疲れ様でした♪

I think it would have been perfect if the weather had been nice. The tour guide and the driver were also very kind, and I had a great time. Thank you very much.

天気が良ければ最高だったとおもいます。
添乗員さん、ドライバーさんもとても親切で楽しめました。ありがとうございました。

It was an efficient tour, but unfortunately, the lift at Okurayama Jump Stadium was not operating due to strong winds. I felt like we had a bit of extra time. At Hitsujigaoka, I thought we didn't have enough time to visit because we had to wait in line to take photos in front of the Clark statue. The bus guide was kind and left a good impression.

効率のいいツアーでしたが、大倉山ジャンプ競技場のリフトが強風で動かず残念でした。少し時間を持て余した感があります。羊ケ丘は、クラーク像前で写真を撮るのに、並ぶため見学の時間が足りないと思いました。バス
ガイドさんは、親切で好感が持てました。

Every year, our family of four would travel together, but this year, we visited with just three of us due to my father's passing. We brought a photo of my father and took a family tour. We visited the places we went to when he was healthy.

毎年家族四人で旅行してましたが、今年父親が永眠の為、3人で訪れました。
父親の写真を持って家族全員のツアーです。父親が元気な時に行った場所を巡りました。

Although there were only a few Japanese participants, we were arranged to be close together, which made it easy to participate comfortably. Our tour guide, Mr. Yanagyu, was friendly and skillfully switched between Japanese and Chinese while providing a thorough guide. His attention to detail, such as recommending places for photos and food, was impressive. The driver was also pleasant and drove safely, allowing us to feel secure throughout the trip. We were able to efficiently visit the sightseeing spots, and I believe this tour is highly recommended for those visiting Hokkaido for the first time.

日本人の参加者は少数ではありましたが、近くにまとまるよう配慮されており、安心して参加できました。添乗員の柳生さんは気さくで、日本語と中国語を使い分けながら丁寧にガイドしてくださり、写真撮影や食べ物のおすすめなど細やかな気配りが印象的でした。運転手さんも感じが良く、安全運転で終始安心して過ごせました。観光地も効率よく回ることができ、初めて北海道を訪れる方にもおすすめできるツアーだと思います。

On April 29th, the main event was originally supposed to be the Asahiyama Zoo tour. However, due to an incident at the zoo, we had to quickly switch to a different tour. We visited the Bibai Art Museum, a petting farm, the Blue Pond, and Shirahige Falls, and I was very satisfied with the Furano curry we had for lunch in Biei. The tour guide, Mr. Yanagyu, was very cheerful, and the atmosphere in the bus was bright and lively. One downside was that we had planned to use a large bus, but ended up with a microbus, which made the long journey a bit tiring. This was my fifth or sixth time participating, and I hope to join the Asahiyama Zoo tour next year.

4月29日は本来は旭山動物園ツアーがメインでした、所が旭山動物園で事件が有り、急遽別のツアーになりました、美唄の美術館、ふれあい牧場、青い池、白ひげの滝、美瑛ので昼食の富良野カレーがとても満足でした、添乗員の柳生さんはとても明るくて車内はとても明るい雰囲気でした、ひとつ残念なのは当初大型バスの予定がマイクロバスになり長時間の移動に少し疲れました、今回で5回目か6回目の参加でしたが来年こそは旭山動物園ツアーに参加したいと思います。

In April, before the Golden Week, Hokkaido is in the maintenance period after winter, so many facilities were closed. I decided to join a bus tour. It was my first time visiting places like Lake Shikotsu, Lake Toya, and Cape Earth, and the tour guide provided detailed advice and explanations, making the experience enjoyable! The A course included a stroll through the Toya Onsen town, and the B course featured a ropeway. I was informed that depending on the situation, lunch time could be tight, so if you don't have any specific preferences, it would be a good idea to prepare sandwiches or bento in advance to enjoy a leisurely lunch. I chose the B course and took the ropeway (which had an additional fee), and the weather was nice and pleasant. At the top of the mountain, there were chairs and sofas, as well as a space to eat and drink, allowing for a relaxed picnic atmosphere. Additionally, there was a small discount at the Silo Observation Deck, so I was able to purchase souvenirs at a better price. Thank you for a wonderful day from early morning until evening!

GWに入る前の4月の北海道は、冬明けのメンテナンスの時期にあたるとのことで、いろいろな施設などがお休みだったりしたので、バスツアーに参加してみました。
支笏湖や洞爺湖、地球岬など初めて行ったのですが、添乗員さんがきめ細やかなアドバイスや解説をしてくださり、楽しく過ごせました！Aコースの洞爺湖温泉街散策もBコースのロープウェイも、場合によってはお昼時間がギリギリになるとのことだったので、特にこだわりがなければ、事前にサンドイッチやお弁当などを準備して持っていけば、ランチもゆっくりできると思います。今回、Bコースを選びロープウェイ（別料金）に乗りましたが、お天気も良く気持ちよかったです。見晴らしのいい山の上に椅子やソファなどもあり、飲食できるスペースもあるので、ピクニック気分でのんびりできました。また、サイロ展望台で少し割引があって、お土産などもちょっとお得に購入できました。朝早くから夕方までありがとうございました。

At first, I was a bit anxious about what kind of atmosphere the tour would have, but it turned out to be a wonderful and memorable experience. The guide was a young man who explained everything in Japanese, Chinese, and English, and he was very friendly and genuinely pleasant. The driver was also a young man, and he drove very well, ensuring a smooth ride. If I have the opportunity to participate in another tour, I would definitely want to request these two again. It became an unforgettable trip to Hokkaido. I am very grateful to them.

どんな雰囲気のツアーか最初は不安でしたが、とっても思い出に残るステキなツアーでした。
ガイドさんは若い男性で日本語、中国語、英語の3ヵ国語で説明してくれて、またとても気さくでほんとうに感じの良いかたでした。ドライバーのかたも若い男性でしたが、運転がとても上手で、スムーズに走行されていました。またツアーに参加する機会がありましたら是非ぜひこのお二人にお願いしたいです。忘れられない北海道旅行になりました。我非常感谢他们。

I was able to see the stunning views of Cape Earth, Lake Toya, and Lake Shikotsu. The weather was great, and the tour guide provided service that exceeded expectations, which was very impressive. They recommended souvenirs and food at each sightseeing spot, as well as suggestions for Sapporo city and the airport. I would like to participate in another bus tour via a different route.

地球岬・洞爺湖・支笏湖の絶景を見る事ができました。天気も良く添乗員さんがガイドさん以上の対応で非常に良かったです。
各観光地でのお土産・食べ物などお薦めを教えてくれたり、札幌市内のお薦め・空港のお薦めまで教えて頂きました。
また別ルートのバスツアーに参加したいと思います。

As expected from the tourist city of Sapporo, even though day trip sightseeing buses are being discontinued in various places due to a shortage of drivers, I was impressed by the variety of courses available. It was efficient to visit various locations that are difficult to access with the limited JR services. Even on weekdays, the buses were full, with about 80% of the passengers being foreigners. There is a guide, but since they are busy with Japanese, English, and Chinese, it's difficult to provide sufficient information. I recommend checking sightseeing information on your mobile phone.

The tour guide's explanations were really great. They provided accurate advice for each location, which made the experience enjoyable.

添乗員さんの説明がすごく良かったです
場所ごとにと的確なアドバイスをしてくれるので楽しく過ごせました。

It was almost a full-day tour, but I really enjoyed it. The food was delicious, and I was able to buy souvenirs at the Mushroom Kingdom, and the mushroom soup was also tasty. If you're looking for a tour to fully enjoy nature, this is definitely the one! 😊

ほぼ丸一日のツアーでしたが、とても満喫できました。食事も美味しく、きのこ王国ではお土産も買うことができ、きのこ汁も美味しかった☺️自然を満喫したいツアーなら間違いないです。

As a one-day tour, it seems to be quite cost-effective and is likely the most popular. I was lucky to be able to buy souvenirs with an 8% discount coupon.

1日ツアーとしてはかなりコスパが良く1番人気と思われます　8%割引券でおみやげを買い揃えることができluckyでした

Thank you, Mr. Yagyu, for all your thoughtful care and attention during the tour. It was a fun trip, and I don't think I could have visited so many places on my own. The 8% discount on souvenirs at the sightseeing spots and the silo observation deck was greatly appreciated. ☆ five stars. The only downside was the small 20-passenger jumping vehicle, but aside from that, it was a perfect score!

添乗の柳生さん　いろいろ心遣いなどなどありがとうございました。
楽しい旅行になりました。個人ではあれほどたくさん回れなかったと思います。
見学地やサイロ展望台おみやげ8％引きはありがたいことです。☆５つです。
小型の20人乗りジャンプする車が残念でしたが。それを除けば100点満点とれました。

About half of the participants were foreigners, but the female tour guide (who was Chinese) provided bilingual guidance that satisfied both Japanese and foreign guests, which was very good.

外国の方が半分くらいいらっしゃいましたが、添乗員の女性（中国の方）がバイリンガルで日本人、外国人が満足するような案内をしていただきとてもよかったです。

It was a tour that fulfilled my desire to do a lot of sightseeing, even though I was traveling alone. It was a full tour, and I sat next to the tour guide, Mr. Yagyu, who was very kind and made it enjoyable.

ひとり旅だけど、たくさん観光したい希望を叶えてくれたツアーでした
満席ツアーで添乗員さんの隣でしたが、柳生さんがとても親切で楽しかったです

I'm glad I was able to see tourist spots like Lake Toya, Lake Shikotsu, and Cape Earth all in one day. I think having a guide's explanation makes it cheaper than renting a car.

洞爺湖、支笏湖に地球岬など観光地を1日で見られて良かったです。ガイドさんの説明があってレンタカーより格安だと思います。

The view of Jigokudani was refreshing. If I had a little more time, I would have liked to go deeper into Jigokudani. Also, I was a bit disappointed that I had limited time for the Shikotsuko Ice Festival in winter.

地獄谷の景色は爽快でした。もう少し、時間があれば、地獄谷の奥まで、行ってみたかったです。また、冬の支笏湖氷濤まつりも、時間が少なく、ちょっと、残念でした

Since we visited various scenic spots, spending about 40 minutes at each, it was great to be able to see many places even on a day trip. More than half of the participants were foreigners, but it was quiet, and the schedule was well-kept, making it enjoyable. The tour guide provided explanations in two languages, which made it easy to understand. Our guide, Mr. Yanagyu, was friendly and a nice person.

景勝地を各所だいたい滞在時間40分程度で回るので、日帰りでもたくさんの場所に回れて良いです。
参加者の半分以上が外国人でしたが、静かで、時間も守られていて楽しめました。
添乗員さんが、2カ国語で説明をしてくれていて、聞き取りもスムーズでした。
今回、担当いただいた柳生さんは気さくで良い人でした。

I greatly appreciated your support in three languages. Thank you very much.
I understand it may be difficult, but I would like to request a bit more time at each sightseeing spot.

3カ国語のご対応いただき、大変助かりました。ありがとうございました。
難しいと思いますが、各観光地の滞在時間をもう少し延ばしていただきたいです。

The weather was unfortunately bad, but it was a very fulfilling tour. Our guide, Shu, was very knowledgeable and provided detailed and careful guidance. We followed his recommendations at each destination, which led to a wonderful experience. The driver was also kind and drove safely. Thank you very much. I highly recommend it!

あいにくの天気でしたが、とても充実したツアーでした。ガイドのシュウさんはとても物知りで詳しく丁寧にガイドしてくださり、行く先々でオススメ通りに行動して、とても素晴らしい体験ができました。運転手さんも親切で安全運転でした。ありがとうございました。オススメです！

Overall, this tour was extremely satisfying. Since it was snowing, I had some concerns about the journey from Sapporo to Asahiyama Zoo, but the stability was outstanding, allowing us to travel comfortably and with peace of mind. The Asahiyama Zoo was also fantastic. It was a wonderful zoo where you could feel the consideration for the animals, ensuring they were not stressed. The free time we had inside the zoo was just right. Lastly, I would like to express my gratitude to the bus driver and the tour guide. Thanks to both of them, we truly had a comfortable time. Thank you very much.

今回のツアーは全体的に大満足出来る内容でした。雪が降っていた事もあり札幌から旭山動物園までの道中に不安があったのですが安定感抜群で安心して快適に道中過ごせました。そして旭山動物園も最高でした。動物にストレスをかけないように配慮しているのが各所で感じられる素晴らしい動物園でした。園内で過ごせる自由時間もちょうどいいくらいでした。最後にバスの運転手さんバスガイドさんにお礼を伝えたいです。お二人のおかげで本当に快適な時間になりました。ありがとうございました。

It was a tour where we could stay at Asahiyama Zoo for three hours. I thought I might get bored being alone, but the time flew by. I was able to watch the penguin walk at a leisurely pace. The bus also had breaks along the way, making it comfortable.

旭山動物園に三時間滞在できるツアーでした
ひとりで時間を持て余すかと思いましたが、あっという間でした
ペンギンの散歩もゆっくり見ることができました
バスも途中休憩もあり、快適でした

It was a tour with wonderful scenery. The guide was kind and provided a detailed explanation. There were many foreign walkers, so the guide offered explanations in two languages. The guide provided a fluent narration.

素晴らしい景色のツアーです。ガイドさんほ親切丁寧に案内して下さいました。外国人の散歩者も多いのでガイドか２カ国語の説明があります。
ガイドさんは流暢に案内してくれます
