All Reviews for Japan Autumn Tours 2025

This is a greedy tour that takes you around popular spots such as Nakayama Pass, Sairo Observatory, Lake Toya, Showa Shinzan, and Noboribetsu Hell Valley. You will travel through winter Hokkaido with a safe and reliable veteran driver, sticking to the schedule.

We were blessed with clear weather, and the breathtaking winter scenery was truly moving! I was prepared for some bumps on the snowy roads, but the seating arrangements were considerate, making for a comfortable bus tour.

Mount Yotei, Showa Shinzan, and Noboribetsu Hell Valley were particularly impressive. I was also very satisfied with the stop at the bear ranch.

On the way back, we used the highway from Noboribetsu to Sapporo, so we arrived in no time. There were also restroom breaks at key points, which was reassuring. I highly recommend this tour!

中山峠からサイロ展望台、洞爺湖、昭和新山、地球岬、登別地獄谷、人気スポットを巡る欲張りツアーです。冬の北海道を、安全安心のベテランドライバーさんの運転で定刻通り巡ります。
晴天にも恵まれ、冬ならではの絶景に感動です！
雪道を走るので、ある程度揺れるのは覚悟していましたが、座席も配慮頂き快適なバスツアーでした。
羊蹄山、昭和新山、登別地獄谷は格別に良かったです。熊牧場にも立ち寄れて大満足です。
帰路は登別から札幌まで高速道路利用なので、あっという間に到着です。要所でトイレ休憩もあり安心でした。おすすめです！

We have visited Sapporo several times as a couple, but this was our first time experiencing the winter snow attractions. We were able to visit several snowy sightseeing spots in one day, and my wife was thrilled. If we have the opportunity, we would definitely like to come back.

札幌は何度か夫婦で観光に来ているのですが冬の雪の観光は初めてで、1日で雪の観光地を回ることができ妻も感激していました。また、機会があれば是非お世話になりたいです。

I was looking for a tour that allows me to visit various places in one day since I'm a solo traveler and a paper driver. At Lake Toya, I participated in rafting during a 30-minute stay. For lunch, I wasn't hungry, so I visited the nearby Volcano Museum.

If I have one complaint, it's that the return bus unexpectedly took the local road instead of the highway. Even though we were making good progress, it felt like the return trip took longer.

一人旅でペーパードライバーのため、今回のような一日であちらこちらと巡るツアーを探していました。
洞爺湖では30分の滞在の間にラフティングに参加。お昼はお腹が空かなかったので近くの火山博物館を見学。

一つだけ不満があるとするなら、帰りのバスがなぜか高速を降りて下道で戻ってきたこと。せっかく順調に進んでいるのに、帰り時間が長くなった気がした。

Only five of us participated, but the tour went ahead because the highways were not closed. It was my first time seeing a blizzard and whiteout conditions, with police cars leading the way and vehicles generally driving with their turn signals on. Sitting behind the driver, the experience of the tour bus navigating the icy roads was thrilling. I am very grateful to the guide and the driver for safely delivering us to our destination.

Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya were as beautiful as rumored. Lake Shikotsu was quite rough. We also enjoyed a delicious lunch. In the morning, the ropeway at Mount Usu had stopped, but it resumed operation, and we walked along the promenade in the snowstorm. I regretted it a little. (laughs)

Overall, it felt more like an experience of cold and snow, but living in a region with little snow, it was fresh and enjoyable. Thank you very much.

たった5名、雪で悪天候の中、しかし高速道路が通行止めになっていなかったため、催行して頂きました。猛吹雪＋ホワイトアウトで反対車線はパトカーが先導していたり、車が総じてウィンカーをたいて走る光景は初めてでした。運転手席後ろの席でしたので、凍結した道をゆく観光バスはスリル満点でした。安全に最後まで送り届けて頂き、ガイドさん、運転手さんには大変感謝です。

支笏湖、洞爺湖は噂通りの美しさ。支笏湖は大荒れでした。
お昼も美味しく頂きました。
有珠山も午前は止まってしまったロープウェイを再開していただけて、吹雪のなか遊歩道を歩いてみました。少し後悔しました。笑

とにかく寒さ体験というか、雪体験という感じではありましたが、雪の少ない地方在住のため、新鮮で楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。

I was very satisfied with the tour that allowed us to visit Lake Shikotsu, Lake Toya, and Mount Usu in one day, as it wouldn't have been possible without a bus tour. The hot pot lunch was also delicious. It was a tour that made me truly feel like I was in Hokkaido.

支笏湖、洞爺湖、有珠山を一日で巡るのは、バスツアーでないとできないので大満足です。鍋御膳の昼食も、美味しかったです。北海道に来たことを実感できるツアーでした。

I wanted to have a memorable experience in Hokkaido for the first time, so I participated in a tour. On the day of the tour, there was heavy snow, and the weather was such that we almost experienced whiteouts several times on the way to Lake Shikotsu. However, it was a completely private tour, and I was able to enjoy the unique winter scenery of Hokkaido, making it a wonderful experience. The guide was very kind and had an interesting way of speaking, and the Hokkaido gourmet food we were introduced to was all very delicious. Thank you for the wonderful time.

初めての北海道で思い出に残る体験をしたいと思いツアーに参加させて頂きました。
当日は大雪で支笏湖までの道中何度もホワイトアウトしそうな天気でしたが、完全プライベートツアーで真冬の北海道ならではの景色を堪能することができ、素晴らしい体験になりました。
ガイドの方もとても親切で話も面白く、教えて頂いた北海道グルメもどこもとても美味しかったです。
素敵な時間をありがとうございました。

It snowed today, but thanks to the bus, I was able to visit Lake Shikotsu, Lake Toya, and Mount Usu all in one day, and I am very satisfied. I had low expectations for lunch based on the reviews, but it was served warm, which was great. It was also nice to enjoy the view of Lake Toya while having lunch.

雪が降る日になりましたが、バスのお蔭で、支笏湖、洞爺湖、有珠山と一日で巡ることが出来て大満足です。口コミを見て期待していなかった昼食も、ちやんと温かい状態で出していただきました。昼食を食べながら洞爺湖の景色を楽しめるのも良かったです。

I traveled to Hokkaido with three friends, and since we wanted to connect with nature, we decided to join this tour. Due to COVID-19, we sat one person per two seats on the bus. It was a large tour bus, but with only 18 participants, it felt a bit unfortunate.

Despite those concerns, our guide was a beautiful Chinese woman who has lived in Japan for over 30 years. She was very energetic and cheerful, speaking Chinese, Japanese, English, and studying Korean.

You won't find a better deal than this for such a comprehensive tour. There were plenty of restroom breaks, so we could enjoy the trip without worry. The guide provided accurate information, allowing us to make the most of our time at each location.

We were blessed with good weather, and my friends were also happy. Although it was a full day of sightseeing, we didn't feel tired and were able to enjoy nature. I would like to apply for another tour through Veltra again.

Thank you very much!

友人3人と北海道へ旅行へ行くことになり自然と触れ合いたいと言う事でこちらのツアーに参加させていただきました。
バスはコロナ禍ということもあり二席で一人座りました。大型観光バスでしたが18人の参加で気の毒でした。

そんな心配をよそにガイドさんは中国人で日本在住３０年以上中国語、日本語、英語、韓国語（勉強中）の美人でとても元気で明るいガイドさんでした。

これだけ回ってこの良心的なお値段はないですね
トイレ休憩もたくさんあり心配せずに回れました。ガイドさんの情報が的確で現地に着いても時間に無駄なく回ることができました。

天気にも恵まれ一緒に行った友人たちも喜んでくれました
1日観光でしたが疲れもなく楽しく自然と触れ合うことができました
またベルトラさんからツアー参加を申し込みしたいと思います

ありがとうございました

I was really looking forward to participating based on the content and price.

However, due to sudden snowfall and worsening weather conditions, even though I waited at the meeting place as instructed, no staff showed up.

When I tried to call the emergency contact as per the agreement, I received a message from the driver asking where I was.

When I replied that I was waiting as instructed, I was told to come to the bus that was parked in front of the hotel. Other participants were in the hotel lobby and, seeing my actions, they also headed towards the bus.

The driver informed us that, due to the snow, the guide would not be coming. The driver was nice, but he spoke softly without a microphone, and his voice couldn't be heard in the back. There was only information about the meeting time, and no other guidance was provided. Although he was a driver, he was affiliated with the travel company, so I wonder why he couldn't arrange for a replacement or send another guide on an emergency basis.

I think the response in such an emergency situation was inadequate. After that, there was no explanation from the travel company either.

I believe a proper explanation should be provided at the very least. It's disappointing because the content was good.

While it's understandable that troubles can occur, the subsequent response can lead to a loss of trust.

内容、価格からとても楽しみにし参加した。

しかし、急な積雪に伴う天候悪化があり、集合時間に集合場所に指示通り待っていても、係員が来ず。

契約に有った通り緊急連絡先に電話をしようとすると、運転手から何処に居るか？と連絡が有った。

指示通り、ずっと待っていると答えるとホテルの前に止まっているバスに来て欲しいと。ホテルのロビーには他の参加者もおり、私の行動を見て一緒にバスに向かった。

バスの運転手から告げられたのは、雪の為、ガイドは来ないとの事。運転手は良い方だったが、マイク無しでボソボソと話し後ろまで声は聞こえない。集合時間の案内だけで、その他の一切の案内は無し。運転手だが、旅行会社の関係者ではある為、可能な限り代わりをする、出来ないので有れば、他のガイドを緊急派遣など出来なかったのか疑問に思う。

この様な緊急時の対応としてはまずいのではと思う。
その後、旅行会社からも何の説明もない。

然るべき説明は最低限するべきでは。
内容は良かっただけに残念に思う。

トラブルは起きてしまったのは仕方ないのだが、その後の対応次第では信用を失くす事に繋がる。

I waited for about 15 minutes at the meeting place without being picked up, and when I called, there was no answer. I would have appreciated a message at least if they were going to be late.

待ち合わせ場所に時間過ぎてもお迎えがなく、電話をしても出てもらえず、15分くらい待ちました。せめて時間過ぎるのであれば連絡が欲しかったです。

The weather was great! I'm happy that I could visit many places with a fulfilling schedule. The tour guide was kind, and I had a great time even traveling alone!

いい天気で恵まれた！充実なスケジュールでたくさんところに回れるのは嬉しい。添乗員さんは親切で、1人旅でも楽しかった！

Due to the weather, we couldn't go out on the lake and ended up having a canoe experience at the river mouth. The staff were kind and friendly, but it was disappointing that the water was murky and we couldn't see any fish. I would like to participate again in the summer if there’s another opportunity.

天候で仕方がないけれど湖には出られず、河口でのカヌー体験になりました。スタッフの方は優しく親切でしたが、水が濁っていて魚を見ることができず残念でした。またチャンスがあれば夏にでも参加したいです

The guide recommended a pudding that is only sold at Lake Toya, and it was really delicious. Also, it was fun to throw apples to the bears at Showa Shinzan and feed them.

ガイドさんが洞爺湖のところでそこにしか売っていないプリンを勧められて、食べたらすごくおいしかったです。
また、昭和新山では熊にリンゴを投げてエサをあげるのが楽しかったです。

It was a small tour with eight people, but the driver provided detailed information about the locations and was very considerate, making the tour a pleasant experience for us.

８人の少人数のツアーでしたが、運転手の方は詳しく場所を教えてくれたり、色々配慮して下さり気持ちよくツアーに参加させていただきました。

I think there aren't many tours that can cover this much in one day. And at this price! To put it mildly, it was fantastic. The tour guide was very friendly and actively supported us with taking photos. I felt so good about this tour guide that I want to join other tours with them as well.

1日でこれだけこれだけ回れるツアーはなかなか無いと思う。しかもこの値段！控え目に言ってもサイコーでした。添乗員のかたもとてもフレンドリーでカメラ撮影にも積極的にサポートしてくれて。この添乗員さんの他のツアーにも参加したいと思うほど、感じが良かったです。

It was a trip where I greedily visited breathtaking spots. The weather was great on the day of participation, and I was able to take many good photos.

Since there was availability for two-person seats, I was able to enjoy the ride comfortably by myself. I was torn between renting a car and taking a taxi, but I'm glad I chose this option.

The guide was attentive, not only showing us the places we stopped at but also recommending delicious restaurants in Sapporo and taking group photos against the stunning scenery. Thanks to their detailed attention, the trip became even more enjoyable. Thank you very much.

絶景スポットをよくばりにめぐる旅でした。参加日は天気もよく、いい写真がたくさん撮れました。
定員に空きがあり二人用の座席を一人占めできたので、走行中もリラックスできて、レンタカーとタクシーと迷いましたがこちらにして良かったです。
添乗員さんのガイドも立ち寄る場所だけでなく札幌の美味しいお店を教えくれたり、絶景を背景にグループごとの写真を撮ってくれたり、きめ細かく、おかげで旅行がより楽しくなりました。ありがとうございました。

They will take you to the main tourist spots in Hokkaido in just one day. The time spent at each location is short, but without that, you wouldn't be able to cover this many places. All participants were able to enjoy the sightseeing smoothly while keeping to the schedule.

We arrived at Lake Shikotsu just in time for the sunset. We were able to watch the sun sink into the lake. I am truly grateful for the guide's efficient and perfect management. I recommend this to anyone who has just one day free in Hokkaido and wants to experience its magnificent nature.

Thank you, Japan Holiday Travel Co., Ltd. (Sapporo)!

1日で北海道の主要観光スポットへ連れて行ってくれます。一箇所の滞在時間は短いですが、そうでもしないとこの数は回れないです。参加者の皆さんも時間厳守でスムーズに観光できました。

最後は支笏湖の夕日の時間ぴったりに到着。湖に沈んでいく夕日を眺めることができました。ガイドさんの無駄のない完璧な進行に心から感謝です。北海道で1日だけ空いている、北海道の雄大な自然を拝みたい！という全ての方におすすめします。

(株)ジャパンホリデートラベル(札幌) さん、ありがとうございました！

We set off early in the morning and ended our day at beautiful Lake Shikotsu during sunset after visiting Lake Toya. It was truly wonderful. Many shops were closed. The Usuzan Ropeway had an additional fee, but it was worth the climb. Both the driver and the tour guide were great people; they took photos for us and recommended food and shops. I thought it was a very worthwhile tour since we could visit many places in one day. It was also nice to have a comfortable seat to myself.

朝早くから出発し、美しい洞爺湖をみて最後、日没の支笏湖で終わりました。
ほんとに素晴らしかったです。
お店は閉まっているところも多かったです。
有珠山ロープウェイ は別料金でのぼり、これは登って良かったです。
運転手さんも、添乗員さんも良い人で、写真撮ってくれたり、おすすめの食べ物やお店など教えてくれたりしました。
1日でたくさん巡れるので、とてもお得なツアーだと思いました。また一人でゆったり座れたので、それも良かったです。

It was actually a kayaking experience at the river mouth flowing into the lake. The guide was good, but I wanted to feel the clarity of the lake water once we got out onto the lake.

実際には湖に流れ込む川の河口でのカヤック体験でした。ガイドはよかったけれど、湖に出て湖水の透明度を実感したかったです。

I thought I would go on my own, but I couldn't visit so many places. The weather was great, and I was lucky to see Mount Yotei without a single cloud from the car window. The time allocation at each location was generally good. However, when you take the ropeway up to Mount Usu at Showa Shinzan, there isn't enough time, and you won't be able to have lunch. It might be a good idea to bring some light snacks. There were still few tourists, which was nice. The autumn leaves were beautiful everywhere, making it a lovely season. At the end, Lake Shikotsu had an early sunset, creating a beautiful scene as the day came to a close. I'm thinking it would be nice to visit in a different season as well.

自分で行こうと思うと、こんなに沢山回れません。お天気にも恵まれて、途中、車窓から雲一つ無い羊蹄山まで見れて、ラッキーでした。各地の時間配分もだいたい良くて。ただ昭和新山はロープウェイで有珠山に登ると時間が足りなくて、昼食が食べられなくなります。何か軽食を持って行くと良いかもしれません。まだ観光客も少なくて良かったです。どこも紅葉が綺麗でいい季節でした。最後の支笏湖は日が暮れるのが早いため、サンセットとちょうど重なり美しい風景で幕を下ろしました。また違う季節に行ってみるのもいいなと思ってます。

I started with a raincoat due to concerns about the weather, but it gradually improved, leading to a comfortable kayaking experience. Paddling down the Chitose River flowing from Lake Shikotsu, the return course was gentle, and under the guidance of the instructor, I was amazed by the clear bottom and the non-decaying trees submerged beneath the water. It was a delightful time passing through the shade of the trees and navigating between them. It was a pity that there were some waves preventing us from reaching Lake Shikotsu, but I look forward to enjoying it again.

雨の心配もありカッパを着けてスタートしたが、お天気は次第に良くなり快適なカヤック体験となった。支笏湖から流れる千歳川を下り、折り返すコースは穏やかながら、インストラクターの指導もよろしく、大変透明な底に沈む腐食しない木々に驚きつつ、木陰くぐり、木のあいだ通過など楽しいひとときとなった。少し波があって支笏湖に出られなかったのは残念だったが、またの楽しみとしたい。

On the day, due to strong winds and high waves, we only went on the river instead of the lake, but with the clear kayak, we could really feel the transparency up close. I felt refreshed being close to the wind, greenery, and water. The staff were also kind, and it was fun.

However, it was stated to be two hours, but with the explanation and moving around, we were actually on the kayak for about 40 to 45 minutes, which felt short for the price.

It was a refreshing experience that I would like to do again.

当日は風強く波が高いため、湖には出ず川のみでしたが、クリアカヤックならではですが、透明度を身近に感じられました、風や緑や水を身近に感じられリフレッシュできました、
スタッフの方々も親切で、楽しかったです

ただ、２時間と記載ありましたが、説明レクチャー移動などで

実際カヤックに乗ってるのは40から45分程度で価格に対しては短い印象でした、

また行きたいと思う清々しい体験でした

It was an experience that was easy to understand, so even as a first-timer, I felt comfortable. The water was very clear and beautiful, which was impressive. I was able to take many photos, making it a great memory. The weather wasn't perfect, but I think it would be amazing on a sunny day.

分かりやすく説明していただいた後の体験となるので、初めてでも大丈夫でした。透明度が高く水面がとてもきれいで感動しました。写真もたくさん撮ってもらえたので、記念になりました。天気が今ひとつだったのですが、晴れの日は最高だと思います。

We participated as a family of four. It was our first time kayaking, but the staff provided thorough explanations, allowing us to have a great time. Thank you very much.
During the midsummer season, it was very cool, and we were able to fully enjoy the beautiful nature of Lake Shikotsu. I would like to participate again if the opportunity arises.
*While it is relatively cool during the experience, be careful of sunburn!

家族4人で参加しました。始めてのカヤックでしたが、スタッフ方が丁寧に説明してくれた為、楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。有難うございました。
真夏の時期にとても涼しく、透明な支笏湖の大自然を満喫できました。また機会があったら参加したいと思います。
＊体験中は比較的涼しいですが、日焼けに要注意！

The weather was very nice, and I was able to enjoy Mirror Lake, which is said to be visible only a few times a year. I was moved to see the fish swimming below, not just from the bottom of the kayak but also from the side.
I was anxious about driving alone, but I received support in difficult areas, and I was able to enjoy it smoothly.

天候がとてもよく、年に数回しか見れないらしいミラーレイクを堪能することができました。カヤックの底からだけでなく、横からも下に泳いでいる魚を見れて、感動しました。
一人での運転は不安でしたが、難しいところはサポートしていただき、スムーズに楽しめました。

We participated as a group of four this time. It seems we were fortunate with the weather and conditions that day, as we were able to see the beautiful water quality of Lake Shikotsu from our kayaks amidst stunning scenery. The guide was very kind, and I learned a lot about Lake Shikotsu. I was pleasantly surprised by how friendly and thorough the conversation was. All the staff members were always smiling, and we truly had a wonderful time. The infection control measures were also thorough, so I highly recommend this activity to anyone visiting Hokkaido.

今回４人で参加させていただきました。この日は珍しく天候や条件に恵まれていたようで、絶景のなか綺麗な支笏湖の水質をカヤックの中から目視することができました。ガイドさんもとても親切で、支笏湖についてとても勉強になりました。ここまで親切丁寧にお話していただけるとは思っていなかったので嬉しかったです。他のスタッフの皆様も終始笑顔で、本当に気持ちのよい時間を過ごさせていただきました。感染対策も万全でしたし、北海道に行かれる人には是非おすすめしたいアクティビティです。

On the day of the trip, it was quite windy and rainy in the morning, but when we arrived at the location, we were greeted by blue skies, warm weather, and a moment when the wind stopped and the waves were completely calm, allowing us to see beautifully down to the deep bottom. It was also the first time this year that we saw it, and through the clear kayak, we encountered a large, bright blue river master (carp), which was a mystical and wonderful experience. Thank you to our guide for being so kind and teaching us various things. On the way back, we stopped by Marukoma Onsen, where we received a discount coupon, and the open-air bath close to the lake surface was spectacular and enjoyable. My daughter and I had a lovely little trip together.

当日は朝から雨風が強めでしたが、現地に着いてみたら青空が見えて暖かく風も止んで波も全く立たない瞬間があり、すごく華麗に深い底まで見えました。また、今年初見えということでしたが、クリアカヤックの底を介して真っ青で大きな川の主（鯉）にも出会え、神秘的でとても良い経験ができました。ガイドさん、親切にして頂き、色々教えてくれてありがとうございました。帰りは割引券を頂いた丸駒温泉に立ち寄りましたが、湖面が近い露天風呂が壮観で良かったです。娘と二人、良い小旅行ができました。

I had a wonderful trip to Hokkaido. The driver was very nice, and I feel like I would like to use the service again next time.

とっても素晴らしい北海道旅行できました
トライバーさまもよくしていただき　次回も利用させてもらおうかな　って気分なりました

Due to the limited departure times for buses, I found this day trip that allows you to visit both Noboribetsu and Lake Toya in one day. We were able to visit many places, including the Lake Toya Observatory, Showa Shinzan, Noboribetsu Date Jidaimura, and Noboribetsu Hell Valley. The time spent at each location was just right—not too short and not too long. We arrived at Date Jidaimura just in time for the must-see ninja show, along with a haunted house, maze, and yokai house, which perfectly aligned with our meeting time. Since Date Jidaimura is not very large, the timing was appropriate.

The tour guide also explained the recommended highlights of each location and the best routes to take within the time frame. When I mentioned I needed to use the restroom on the way back, the driver kindly stopped at a convenience store and waited for us.

There were only four participants when I went, so we had plenty of space on the bus, which could seat around twenty people. I had a fun and fulfilling trip. Thank you!

バスだと出発時間が少なく、一日で登別と洞爺湖を回れるないので、一日で回れる日帰り旅行を探したところこちらに辿りつきました。
洞爺湖展望台、昭和新山、登別時代村、登別地獄谷と多くの場所を回れました。それぞれの場所の滞在時間も適切で、短過ぎず長過ぎず、ちょうど良い感じでした。時代村ではちょうど忍者ショーを観れる時間帯に着いて、必見の忍者ショー、そしてお化け屋敷、迷路、妖怪小屋ともう一つショーを観ると、ちょうど集合時間でした。そんなに大きくない時代村なので、適切な時間設定でした。
ツアーガイドさんもそれぞれの場所のおすすめ見所、時間内に行ける最適路線を説明してくださいました。帰りにトイレに行きたいと言ったら、運転手さんもコンビニに寄って待ってくれていました。
私が行った時は4人しか参加していなかったので、20人台くらいが座られるバスで広々と過ごせました。
楽しく充実な旅を過ごせました。ありがとうございました！

I was really satisfied to visit so many sightseeing spots in just one day. The schedule was well organized, so the sightseeing went very smoothly, and I was happy. I also appreciated that the driver adjusted the time a bit for recommended places. Noboribetsu Date Jidaimura was incredibly fun! You can leave your luggage and souvenirs (except for valuables) on the bus, and for those considering using trains and other means of transportation, I truly recommend it! I will use this service again if I have the opportunity. Thank you very much!

1日でこんなに沢山観光地を回れて、かなり満足です。時間もきちんと決まっているので本当にスムーズに観光ができてハッピーでした。またドライバーさんがおすすめの場所などは少し時間を調整してくれたりして、感謝です。登別伊達時代村は最高に楽しかったです！荷物やお土産も※貴重品以外はバスに置いてまわれるし、自分たちで電車など利用して行く事を検討してる方には、本当おすすめです！また機会があれば利用します。ありがとうございました
