Hokkaido
The weather was great, and I was able to enjoy the stunning views. The guide mentioned, "It's called Shakotan Blue, but such beautiful days only happen a few times a year," so I felt lucky! The stories about Kamui Cape's prohibition for women and the Nishingoten were very informative.
■ Kamui Cape… It requires a 50-minute round trip walk, which is tough, but it's worth it!
■ Shimamu Coast… I was surprised to see a sign warning about bears just a few days ago, but the view of the sea from the observation deck was truly beautiful.
■ Glass Boat… It was optional, but most people participated. The view from the sea was nice, and I enjoyed feeding the seagulls.
■ Lunch… The seafood bowl for lunch was average. I ordered sea urchin separately. It was cash only.
■ Tanaka Sake Brewery, Kikkogura… I don't drink alcohol, so it wasn't particularly appealing to me.
It was a weekday in late August, and the place was almost full. Since there were three of us, one person had to share a seat. It was nice that we could choose from several drop-off locations on the way back. I got off in Otaru.
とても天気がよく、最高の景色を堪能できました。
ガイドさんが、「積丹ブルーと言われてますが、こんなにきれいな日は、年に何回かしかありません」って言ってて、ラッキーでした!
神威岬の女人禁制の話とか、ニシン御殿の話とか、ガイドさんの話もとても勉強になりました。
■神威岬…往復50分歩かないといけないので、大変ですが、歩く価値があります!
■島武意海岸…つい数日前に熊が出たと看板がありビックリしましたが、展望台からの海のいろはホントキレイでした~。
■グラスボート…オブションでしたが大体の人が参加してました。海からの景色もよかったですし、カモメのエサやりも楽しめました。
■ランチ…ランチの海鮮丼は普通でした。ウニを別で頼みました。現金オンリーでした。
■田中酒造 亀甲蔵…お酒は飲まないので、いまいちでした。
8月下旬の平日で、ほぼ満席。
3人参加だったので、1人は相席でした。
帰りは下車場所をいくつかから選べるのも良かったです。小樽で下車しました。
I participated alone before the Hokkaido Marathon. I had a great time even by myself. The Shikisai no Oka was wonderful.
北海道マラソン前に1人で参加させていただきました。1人でも楽しく過ごせます。

Our family of three took our first trip to Hokkaido.
Planning for the second day was challenging, so we decided to sign up for a bus tour.
It was a very efficient day, allowing us to visit many places and have a fulfilling experience. The guide spoke Japanese, Chinese, and English, sharing a lot of information during the bus ride and kindly took photos for us at the sightseeing spots. I am truly grateful for the wonderful memories we created. Although the time at each location was limited, I highly recommend this tour for those who want to explore various places. I would love to join another tour if the opportunity arises again.
家族3人で初めての北海道旅行。
2日目の計画が難しく、思い切ってバスツアーに申し込んでみました。
とても効率よくたくさん回れて充実した1日でした。ガイドさんは日、中、英語を駆使して、バスの中でたくさんお話をしてくださり、観光先でも写真を撮って頂いたり、本当に親切にしてもらいました。思い出深い1日になり感謝です。それぞれの滞在時間はあまりありませんが、とにかくあちこち回りたい人にはとてもおすすめです。今度また機会があれば他のツアーも参加したいと思います。
The weather was a bit uncertain, but it held up, and I was able to enjoy myself. Thank you. I was looking forward to the guide's stories, as there were many reviews mentioning how enjoyable they were, but it ended up being just an audio guide, which felt a bit bland, so I stopped listening halfway through. I noticed others had also put down their headphones, which was disappointing. I really wanted to hear the guide's live stories. Since it was a tour with international participants, I guess it couldn't be helped. I'm looking forward to the next tour. I was impressed by the gentlemanly demeanor of the bus driver. I appreciate it.
天候が微妙でしたがなんとか天気ももち、楽しむことができました。ありがとうございます。ガイドの方のお話が楽しかったとの口コミが多く楽しみにしていましたが音声ガイドでひたすら聞く感じだったのが味気なく途中から聞くのを辞めました。他の方も同じくヘッドホンを置いていて残念でした。やはりガイドさんの生のお話が聞きたかったです。海外の方も参加のツアーだったので仕方ありませんね。また次回のツアーを期待しております。バスの運転手さんの紳士的な対応に頭が下がる思いでした。感謝してます。
On the third day of our day trip in Hokkaido, we started at Noboribetsu Hell Valley, then visited Cape Earth, the Showa Shinzan Bear Ranch, Toyako Onsen, the Silo Observation Deck, and finally Lake Shikotsu, fully enjoying the beauty of Hokkaido's great nature. The weather was nice on the first and second days, but unfortunately, it was cloudy on the third day, which was a bit disappointing. If it had been a clear blue sky, we could have enjoyed a different landscape.
北海道三日目の日帰りツアーは、登別地獄谷から始まって、地球岬、昭和新山の熊牧場、洞爺湖温泉、サイロ展望台、支笏湖へと、北海道ならではの、大自然の美しさをおおいに堪能しまし。一日目、二日目は天気が良かったのですが、三日目は残念ながら曇り空だったのが少し残念でした。
快晴の青空だったら、また違った風景を楽しむことができたでしょう。
80% of the participants were foreigners, and the guide spoke three languages: Japanese, Chinese, and English. It was great to be able to tour efficiently.
8割が外国の方で、ガイドは、日本語、中国語、英語の3ケ国語でした。
効率良く観光出来て、良かったです。
The guide spoke three languages and included jokes along the way, which made it enjoyable. They kindly helped us choose souvenirs, and the ones we bought and ate were delicious. I had a great time even participating alone. Thank you very much.
ガイドさんは3か国語を話せて、途中ジョークも入って楽しかった。親切にどのお土産を買うかも教えてくれて、実際に買って食べても美味しかった。一人参加でも楽しめました。どうもありがとうございました。
Early in the morning, we headed from Sapporo to Asahikawa via the highway. There were 11 participants in 5 groups (3 Japanese groups and 2 foreign groups), so we used a small microbus. While I appreciated that the tour was still conducted with a small number of people, the ride was a bit uncomfortable. The driver was a pleasant person.
We spent 2 hours at Asahiyama Zoo, enjoying the underwater polar bears, penguins viewed from below, and seals swimming freely in the tanks! It was wonderful to see the lively animals in the water. On the other hand, the land animals looked pitifully exhausted from the heat, just like us humans.
The "Hokkaido local gourmet lunch" was a bit disappointing due to the overlap with other foreign groups, which made it crowded, and the limited menu. I had high expectations, so it was a letdown. I actually think it would have been better to extend our time at Asahiyama Zoo and have the freedom to eat there.
The Blue Pond was beautiful, and the sound of the Shirahige Waterfall was impressive, with a cool river breeze that made us forget the heat!
早朝の札幌から高速で一路旭川へ。5組11名参加(日本人3組+外国人2組)のため小型のマイクロバス。少人数でも催行となりありがたい反面、乗り心地は△。運転手さんは感じのいい方でした。
旭山動物園には2時間滞在して、水中のシロクマ!下から見上げるペンギン!水槽を上下自由自在に泳ぐアザラシ!水の中の元気な動物の姿を満喫しました。一方、陸上の動物たちは、あまりの暑さにみんなグッタリでかわいそう!人間と一緒です。
「北海道ご当地グルメランチ」は、他の外国人団体客と滞在時間が重なって混雑していたことと、メニューが少なかったことで、期待が大きかっただけにちょっとガッカリ…。むしろ旭山動物園の滞在時間を増やして、そこで自由に食事をとれた方がよかったと思いました。
青い池は美しく、白髭のたきは迫力ある水の音と涼しい川風で暑さを忘れさせてくれました!
The sightseeing time on the tour was just right. It was helpful that they provided information about restroom breaks and shopping. To see the Shakotan Blue sea, you'll need to walk a bit to the cape, so please wear comfortable sneakers for the outing.
ツアーの観光時間はちょうどよかったです。
トイレ休憩や、お買い物情報もしてくださり助かります。
積丹ブルーの海を見るには岬を少し歩きますので、歩き易いスニーカーなどでおでかけください。
We gathered early in the morning, but we boarded the bus with a very fun tour guide whose humor blew away our sleepiness. The guide spoke three languages and made announcements that were so engaging that I couldn't help but listen. I recommend this tour for those who want to visit tourist attractions efficiently. The guide enthusiastically took photos for us and recommended delicious food, sharing tips on how to enjoy our short stays at each location. Thank you to the guide for making our family trip of four so wonderful!
早朝集合でしたが、眠気も吹き飛ぶ様なユーモアのあるとっても楽しいトークの添乗員さんのバスに乗り込みました。
三ヶ国語を操り、無駄の無いアナウンスで、つい聞き入ってしまいましたね。観光名所を回りたい方には無駄なく回れるツアーなのでおすすめします。添乗員さんが張り切って写真を撮って下さったり、美味しモノを薦めて下さったりと、各箇所での短い滞在時間に楽しむ方法も教えて下さりました。
添乗員さん、私達4人家族の旅を素敵なモノにして下さり感謝します!
The participants this time were mostly from overseas, and the tour guide, Sho-san, provided detailed explanations in Japanese, Chinese, and English. He was very interesting, knowledgeable, and informative, making him an excellent guide. Thank you very much! If there’s another opportunity next time, I would like to request Sho-san again.
I have participated in many activities, and Sho-san is a fantastic guide. He speaks Chinese, Japanese, and English very fluently, and he explains each sightseeing spot in great detail and clarity, keeping everything on schedule. Thank you very much, Mr. Sho-san. I hope the next tour I join will also have Sho-san as the guide.
今回の参加者はほぼ海外の方で添乗員しょうさんは日本語と中国語 英語での詳しく説明でした、話も面白く、知識や情報豊富でとても素晴らしいガイドさんでした、ありがとうございました♪
また次回機会があればしょうさんにもお願いします。♀️
残念なところは座席に充電用のコンセントがあればもっと最高と思う
我參加了不少活動しょうさん是一位非常棒的導遊 中文 日文 英文 說得非常流利每到一個景點也都解釋的非常詳細清楚時間也都抓的很準時
非常感謝しょうさん先生
希望下次參加的團導遊也是しょうさん
It was a fun tour packed with various highlights. However, it can be affected by the weather... Also, it can be tough if there are people who don't stick to the departure time.
いろいろ詰まったツアーで楽しかったです。
見どころ満載。ただ天気に左右される恐れがありますので…
あと、出発時間を守らない人が居るとツラい。
The meeting place was a bit hard to find, and even though I arrived early with someone else who was departing from the same location, we had to wait a long time for the person in charge to arrive. When I called, I found out they were right behind us. The driver and the tour guide were both great, so I’m glad I participated, but I was really disappointed with the food as it was very unappetizing.
待ち合わせ場所がいまいち分かりにくく、同じ場所から出発の人と予定時刻より早く着いたのに待ち、なかなか担当の方が来ないので電話したら、すぐ真裏にいらっしゃいました。
運転手さんと添乗員さんがとてもよかったので、参加して良かったですが、ご飯がまずすぎてガッカリしました
First of all, most of the tour participants were from overseas, and my son and I were the only Japanese. However, the tour guide provided guidance in Japanese just for us.
We started at Asahiyama Zoo and enjoyed the unique nature of Hokkaido. I especially savored the magnificent views of the Blue Pond and Shirahige Falls.
The lunch was also very delicious, with a variety of options like Genghis Khan and Asahikawa ramen, allowing us to enjoy the food of Hokkaido.
Even the long travel time felt short thanks to the guide's anecdotes! The scenery visible from the window was beautiful and moving.
まず、ツアーの参加者は海外の方が大半で日本人は私と息子だけでしたが、ツアーガイドの方は私たちのために日本語でもガイドしてくださりました。
まず旭川動物園から始まり、北海道特有の自然とを楽しめました。特に青い池と白髭の滝などの雄大な景色を堪能しました。
お昼ご飯もとても美味しく、ジンギスカンや旭川ラーメンなどたくさんの種類があり北海道の食を楽しめました。
長い移動時間もガイドさんの小話で時間を感じず過ごすことができました!窓から見える景色も綺麗で感動しました。
Asahiyama Zoo was as good as the reputation suggests! The guide was also entertaining.
The lunch menu recommended by the guide was great, but everything else was just average.
旭山動物園は評判通りよかったです♪
ガイドさんも面白かった。
お昼ご飯はガイドさんオススメメニューはよかったけれど、それ以外は普通。
60% of the tourist information is in Chinese, 30% in Japanese, and 10% in English.
Do you really need that much explanation in Chinese?
In the end, we had to wait for an hour due to a bus breakdown.
We switched to another bus to continue.
The Chinese guide was laughing. It's unbelievable.
中国語の観光案内6割、日本語観光案内3割、英語語観光案内1割。
中国語の説明、そこまでしますか?
仕上げにバスの故障で1時間の待機。
別のバスに乗り換えての再開。
中国人ガイドは笑っていた。 有り得ません。
It was disappointing that we couldn't board the boat due to the weather, but the views of Cape Kamui and Shimamui Coast were incredibly beautiful and moving. Especially Cape Kamui, which is truly a spectacular sight; I would have loved to take my time to enjoy it if we had a bit more time. The guide was kind and provided various explanations, which were interesting.
天気により船乗れなかったのは残念でしたが島武意海岸と神威岬の景色めっちゃ綺麗で感動しました。特に神威岬は本当に絶景で、ゆっくり眺めたいのでもう少しお時間があれば嬉しいです。
案内の方は優しくて、いろいろ説明していただき面白かったです。
⚪︎ Positive Aspects
Everywhere was a breathtaking view, and it was very soothing. I think it's a place that's not easy to reach by car, so being able to visit various stunning spots in one day was fantastic. There were detailed guides along the way, and I learned a lot of things I didn't know before.
⚪︎ Disappointing Aspects
① On the way to the lunch venue, the guide mentioned that this place can be quite strict, so we should be careful. It seemed like everyone felt intimidated, as other customers were mostly silent and eating without chatting, which didn’t create a fun atmosphere. The staff didn’t even greet us with a simple "welcome." It was unpleasant to overhear the staff's personal conversations. The taste wasn’t great either. The tuna was dark in color, indicating it was not fresh, which was disappointing. Also, it seemed that the relationship between the bus company and the restaurant owner wasn’t good (we could hear the driver and guide talking on the bus), making me wonder why we went to this restaurant. I think everyone would be happier if we changed the restaurant. Well, I guess there are various considerations.
② The guide started the tour by saying, "I have something to say. I am very dissatisfied today because the best seats on the bus (the front row) are empty. These seats are the best, so I’m unhappy that they are left open." It didn’t feel good to hear such negative comments right at the beginning when we were looking forward to the tour. The passengers just sat in the assigned seats. If the empty special seats were such a concern, the guide could have discreetly asked passengers to move. It was disappointing, especially since the other guides were detailed and very good.
③ The voice of the guide at Tanaka Sake Brewery was too quiet, and I couldn’t hear 90% of what was said. I wish they would adjust the number of people so that everyone could hear. It seemed like there were other bus tours overlapping, and the inside of the brewery was very crowded, leaving no time to leisurely taste the sake. It would be better to skip Tanaka Sake Brewery and increase the time at Cape Kamoi.
⚪︎よかったところ
どこも絶景でとても癒されました。車でもなかなか行きにくい場所だと思うので、一日でいろんな絶景を回れるのは最高でした。道中も細かいガイドがあり、知らなかったことばかりで大変勉強になりました。
⚪︎がっかりしたところ
①昼食会場に向かっている道中にガイドさんから、ここのお店は色々うるさいから気をつけてと言われた。みんな萎縮したのか、他のお客さんもほぼ私語なしで黙々と食べてて、楽しい雰囲気ではなかった。店員さんからは、いらっしゃいませの一言もなし。店員さんの私語が丸聞こえなのも不愉快。味も美味しいとは言えない。マグロの色が黒く、鮮度が落ちていてがっかり。また、バス会社と店主の関係性も上手くいっていないようなので(バスで運転手とガイドが話しているのが丸聞こえでした)なぜこのお店なんだろう?と思った。お店を変えればみんなハッピーになると思う。まぁ色々兼ね合いがあるんだろうが。
②ガイドさんがツアーが始まって早々に今日は、最初に言いたいことがあると言って、「私は今日とても不満があります。バスの特等席
(最前列)が空いているからです。ここの席が一番いい席なのに何故開けたのか、それが不満です。」って仰っていて、こっちは楽しみに来ているのに初っ端からマイナスな発言で、いい気はしなかった。乗客は指定された席に座っただけなのに、、。そんなに特等席が空いていることが気に入らないなら、乗客にこそっと声かけをして、移動して貰えばいいと思う。その他のガイドは細かくてすごくよかっただけに残念。
③田中酒造の案内人の声が小さく、9割聞こえなかった。全員が聞こえるように人数を調整して欲しかった。他のバスツアーと時間が被ったようで店内は大混雑で、お酒をゆっくり試飲する時間もなかった。田中酒造なしにして、神威岬の時間を増やしたらいいのになぁ。
I was worried about the rain forecast, but it didn't rain, and I was able to enjoy sightseeing and create wonderful memories. The guide's stories were very interesting, and I had a great time. If I have the chance, I would like to use this service again.
雨予報で心配していましたが、雨が降ることもなく、無事に観光ができて、いい思い出作りができました。
ガイドさんのお話しもとても面白く、楽しませてもらいました。
機会があれば、また利用させてもらいたいです。
Most of the participants were from overseas, and the explanations were in Japanese and Chinese. The male tour guide (I think his name was Sho) was very knowledgeable and occasionally included jokes while guiding us. It was forecasted to rain, but it turned out sunny, so we were lucky to have a great view. I had a wonderful day for 6,800 yen.
参加者はほぼ海外の方で日本語と中国語での説明でした。
添乗員の男性(しょうさんだったかな?)の知識が豊富で時々ジョークも交えながらガイドしてくれました。
雨予報でしたが晴れたので景色もよく見えラッキーでした。
6800円でお得な1日を過ごせました。
There were many tourists from overseas, and I was a bit confused at first, but the guide's brightness made it all go away! I was able to spend a fulfilling day while skillfully navigating three languages.
海外からの観光客が多く、最初戸惑いましたが、添乗員さんの明るさで吹っ飛びました❣️
3カ国語を巧みに操り、充実した一日を過ごせました
This is a very good bus tour that chooses popular tourist spots that are difficult to reach by local buses or trains. The guide explains in Japanese, Chinese, and English. Although the departure time is early, I think it was great because we could sightsee in various places before other buses arrived and it got crowded. It would have been better if there were charging outlets at the seats.
路線バス・電車では行きにくい人気の観光場所をチョイスしている、非常に良いバスツアーです。ガイドさんが日本語・中国語・英語と3つを駆使して説明してくれます。出発時間が早めですが、そのおかげで他のバスが来て混雑する前に、あちこちを観光できて良かったと思います。座席に充電用のコンセントがあればベターでした。
I considered checking the schedules for the local buses and trains to visit Hitsujigaoka and Okurayama Jump Stadium, but taking a guided bus tour seemed like a better option when I thought about the waiting times and the hassle of figuring everything out. The tour included an audio guide with headphones, and there were power outlets at the seats, so it was great to be able to charge my devices while sightseeing. I recommend it to both foreigners and Japanese people. Since the bus departs around 2 PM, if you can arrive at Sapporo Station early, you can do some sightseeing within walking distance from the station before joining the bus tour (that's what I did).
自分で路線バス・電車のダイヤを調べて、羊ヶ丘や大倉山ジャンプ台に行くことも考えましたが、待ち時間やいろいろと探す手間暇も考えると、お任せのバスツアーが良いと判断しました。イヤホンでの音声ガイド付きで、座席にはコンセントもあったので充電しながら観光もできて良かったです。外国の方にも日本人にもお勧めです。バスの出発時間が14時ぐらいなので、早めに札幌駅に到着できる場合は、札幌駅から徒歩圏観光をしたのち、本バスツアーという形も可能です(自分はそうしました)
Although the stay is short, you can experience a lot of natural beauty. You can also enjoy delicious food, and even if you indulge a little, you'll still manage to fit it all in!
滞在が短い時間ですがたくさんの自然美を体験できます
美味しいものも食べて欲張ってもなんとか間に合いますよ
I was thrilled to watch the jump practice live at the Okurayama Jump Stadium. The bus guide's commentary was fantastic.
大倉山ジャンプ競技場でジャンプの練習が生で見学出来て大興奮でした。
バスガイドさんのトーク最高でした。
Cape Kamui on the Shakotan Peninsula was very beautiful. I was able to eat freshly caught sea urchin just as the sea urchin fishing in Shakotan began. I didn't think the seafood bowl was that delicious. I was glad that the weather was favorable.
積丹半島神威岬がとても綺麗でした
積丹の雲丹漁が始まったタイミングでとれたてが食べられました。
海鮮丼はそんなに美味しいと思わなかった。
天気に恵まれたのでよかったです
I was looking for a tour that would take me to several major tourist spots since I had no local knowledge and no means of transportation, and I came across this tour.
It seemed to be primarily aimed at foreign tourists, and we were the only Japanese people, but perhaps because the foreign guests were wealthy enough to travel abroad, they were quiet during the journey and had good manners, which made it enjoyable and安心!
However, there was one disappointing thing...
The restaurant we stopped at for lunch also seemed to cater to bus tour guests from overseas, and there were many people from China. Unfortunately, the restrooms were very dirty. More than half of the stalls were broken and out of order. Perhaps because they couldn't flush, used toilet paper was overflowing in the stalls and left unattended. I wonder if they couldn't keep up with the number of guests or if there were just too many customers...
Other than that, I was very satisfied! With lunch included, this price is a great deal!
The guide was also very kind, thank you so much!
I will definitely use this service again when I travel!
土地勘もなく、足もないので、主要の観光地を何箇所も廻ってもらえるツアーを探していて、こちらのツアーに出逢いました。
主に海外の観光客向けのツアーのようで日本人は私達だけでしたが、海外旅行ができるような裕福な外国の方だからか、移動中も静かで、マナーもよく、安心して楽しめました!
ただ1つだけ残念なことが…
昼食で立ち寄ったお店も、やはり海外からのバスツアー客向けらしく、おそらく中国の方がたくさんいたのですが、トイレが汚いこと汚いこと。
半分以上の個室が壊れていて使用禁止。流せないからか、使用済みのトイレットペーパーが個室に溢れんばかりに捨ててあり、放置してありました。
受け入れ体制が間に合っていないのか、それ以上にお客さんがきてしまっているのか…
それ以外は大満足でした!
昼食もついて、この価格はお得です!
ガイドサンにも、とても親切にしていただき、本当にありがとうございました!
また旅行に行く際は使わせていただきます\(^o^)/
The one-day tour was very efficient, allowing us to explore thoroughly, and I was 100% satisfied.
The guide's hospitality was wonderful, and their stories were interesting and full of information. Thank you, guide!
ワンデイツアー、とても効率よく、周遊し、満足度100%です。
ガイドさんのホスピタリティが素晴らしくて、お話も面白く、情報も満載でした。
ガイドさん、ありがとうございます。
Lake Toya was mediocre, but everything else was good. Especially Lake Shikotsu. It was beautiful. I do not recommend the bear ranch.
I felt that about half of the visitors were foreigners, particularly from China, and I think the guide was also from China. It felt a bit strange to be guided by someone from China, but they explained everything properly in Japanese, Chinese, and English, so there were no issues. The Chinese visitors were not noisy, and I was able to rest soundly on the bus between tourist spots.
洞爺湖はイマイチですが、その他は良かったです。特に支笏湖。綺麗でした。クマ牧場はオススメしません。
利用客には外国の方、特に中国の方が半分くらいだと感じましたし、ガイドさんも中国出身の方と思います。中国の方にガイドされるのも変な感じですが、きちんと日本語、中国語、英語で説明してくださり不都合は無かったです。中国の方々も煩くなく、観光スポット間のバス中はぐっすり休めました。
The guide was from China and was excellent, and they spoke Japanese well. Since we had front-row seats at Lake Shikotsu, we spotted a red fox with a cherry salmon in its mouth. Additionally, we were able to converse with the driver, making it a premium experience.
ガイドさんが中国の方でサイコー、日本語も大丈夫。支笏湖で最前席だったので、ヒメマス咥えたキタキツネ目撃、その他、運転手さんとも会話できてプレミアム体験となりました。
