All Reviews for Japan Autumn Tours 2025

I was able to see many places on the one-day tour, but I had a hard time finding a lunch spot. Since there were few restaurants, it might be easier if lunch was included.

1日のツアーで何ヶ所も観られたが、昼食場所を探すのが苦労した。店が少なかったので昼食付きの方が苦労しないかも知れない。

It was a Jozankei tour, but it was just a round trip from Sapporo/Susukino to Jozankei. At this rate, it might have been cheaper to just take a regular bus round trip. In fact, there were only three participants in the tour... If it's going to be called a tour, they should include meals or add sightseeing spots; otherwise, I think the price is too high for what you get.

定山渓ツアーでしたが、札幌／すすきの→定山渓を往復するだけでした。これでは、ツアーじゃなく、路線バスで往復したほうが安上がりだったかもしれません。実際、参加したメンバーも3人だけだったので…。ツアーと名乗る以上、食事付きにしたり、観光地巡りを付けないと、これでは、料金の割には高いと思います。

The guide and driver worked together smoothly to accommodate us. Managing time well is essential for such extensive travel. Most of the group were foreigners, but everything went nicely without any delays. The guide's knowledge of the area and restaurants was top-notch and couldn't be better!

We left Sapporo, enjoyed some potatoes at a mountain pass, efficiently visited Lake Toya and Noboribetsu, and we were lucky to have some sunny moments along the way. It was also Black Friday, and the last mall was great!

ガイドさんと運転手さんの連携でスムーズに対応いただきました。あれだけの移動はタイムマネジメントがうまくないと無理でしょうね。外国の方がほとんどでしたが、特に遅れもなくナイスでした。ガイドさんの地域やレストランの知識は最高で申し分なしです♪
札幌から出て、峠でジャガイモを食べて、洞爺湖と登別を効率的にまわり、途中から晴れ間も出てついてました。ブラックフライデーでもあり最後のモールもグーでした。

The itinerary for each attraction was well arranged, and the guide, Sun, was very attentive. The explanations for each spot were very detailed, and there were also great product recommendations. I hope to have the opportunity to join again next time!

每個景點的行程安排很好，
孫導非常細心~
每個景點解說非常詳細，也有好物分享。
希望下次有機會再參加！

It was mid-November, but there was more snow than I expected, so the bus transportation was very helpful.

It was unfortunate that there were many foreign tourists who were late.

11月中旬でしたが思ったより雪が降り積もっていたので
バス移動は助かりました。

外国からの観光客が多く時間に遅れる方がおられたのが残念でした。

We participated as a couple. We were able to see Mount Yotei and efficiently visit the highlights. I thought the last stop at Mitsui Outlet could have been a bit shorter.

夫婦で参加させていただきました。羊蹄山も見ることができ、見どころを効率的訪れることができました。最後の三井アウトレットは、もう少し短くてもいいかなと思いました。

I was taken to places that are hard to visit on my own, like Lake Toya, Showa Shinzan, the Bear Ranch (additional fee), and Noboribetsu! Each stop was brief, so some might feel it wasn't enough time to really explore. For us, it was a fulfilling experience. Thank you!

洞爺湖、昭和新山、クマ牧場（別料金）、登別と自分ではなかなか回れないところに連れて行ってもらいました！
ひとつひとつは時間が短く、じっくり見るには足りない方もいるかも。私たちにとっては充実した時間になりました。ありがとうございます！

Feeding the bears was fun. The bears' actions when I fed them were interesting. It was amusing to see the bears banging on the iron fence when I couldn't throw the food near them.

クマへの餌やりは楽しかったです。エサをやったときのクマの仕草が面白かった。クマの付近に投げれなければクマが鉄柵を叩く仕草は面白かった。

I used VELTRA on October 11. I was a bit anxious since it was my first time using it, but both the guide and the driver were very kind, and I was able to visit various places effectively without wasting time. I would like to participate in a different location next time.

10月11日に利用しました。
VELTRAは、初めての利用で多少不安かありましたが、ガイドさんも運転手さんも凄く親切で、時間を無駄にすることなく、効果的に各地を見学できました。
また、今度は違う場所にも参加したいと思います。

The driver's skills were excellent, making for a reassuring tour. And above all, the guide was amazing! They were fluent in Japanese and Chinese, and the explanations were easy to understand. It was the best bus tour!

運転手さんの運転さばきが上手く、安心したツアーでした。
そして、なんと言ってもガイドさんが最高でした👍
日本語、中国語が堪能で、説明は分かりやすくて、最高のバスツアーでした☺️

The bear, which has become a hot topic as a villain, showed a cute side by waving its hand and begging for food at the Showa Shinzan Bear Ranch. I hope they can coexist peacefully with humans.

今話題となって悪役の熊、昭和新山熊牧場の熊は手を振ったり、餌をおねだりしたり可愛い一面を見る事ができました、仲良く人間と共存できるようになればいいのですが。

The weather was my biggest concern, but it was nice from departure to arrival, and the scenery was very beautiful. The lunch was also luxurious and delicious. It was a girls' outing with three elderly ladies (laughs), but we had quite a bit of free time and it wasn't too busy, which was nice. The bus guide was kind, and the driver felt like a veteran with safe driving. The bus was also easy to spot. This was my first bus trip in Sapporo, and it became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much.

お天気が1番心配されましたが、出発から到着まで良いお天気で景色も大変綺麗でした。
お昼も豪華で美味しく頂きました。高齢者（笑）3人、女子会でしたが割と時間も自由で忙しくなかったのも良かったです。バスガイドさんも親切でした、運転手さんも安全運転でベテランの感じがしました。バスも目立ってて探しやすかったです。
札幌でのバス旅は初めてでしたが楽しい思い出になりました。有難うございました。

Shikotsu Lake had heavy rain, and the highway was closed, so we had to take a detour. We went from Shiraoi to Lake Toya. That route was also affected by the heavy rain, creating a unique experience with splashes of water. Thank you to the driver for your hard work. When we arrived at Lake Toya, the rain had stopped, and we were able to see beautiful scenery.

支笏湖は大雨、高速道路通行止めで迂回。白老の方から洞爺湖へ。そのルートも大雨の影響で水飛沫をあげながら、ちょっと出来ない経験でした。ドライバーさんご苦労様でした。洞爺湖に着くと雨は上がっていてきれいな景色を見ることができました。

Although it was unfortunately rainy, I was able to efficiently tour around in a day. However, if you go to the bear ranch, there won't be time to explore Showa Shinzan. The guide recommended several lunch spots around Lake Toya. I had a great time sightseeing in Sapporo, despite the limited time. However, I noticed that the explanations in Chinese were much longer than those in Japanese and English.

あいにくの雨模様でしたが、一日で、ぐるーっと、駆け足で効率よく観光出来ました。
但し、熊牧場に行くと、昭和新山を見て回る時間は有りません。洞爺湖での、昼食場所を、ガイドさんが何ヶ所かお薦めして下さいます。
時間が無っかった札幌で、一日観光楽しかったです。
ただ、気になったのが、日本語、英語より、ずーっと長く中国語での説明がありました。

First of all, I would like to thank our guide for their cheerful and upbeat guidance. Even though it was drizzling a bit right before departure, as soon as the bus started moving, the weather cleared up, and I was able to enjoy the wonderful scenery of Lake Shikotsu, Lake Toya, and the ropeway at Mount Usu, all mixed with autumn leaves. I was worried that 10 hours might be too long, but there were so many highlights that it felt like no time at all. Thank you very much for being so considerate of me as a solo participant.

まず、ガイドさんの陽気でテンポの良い案内に感謝します。出発間際まで雨が少し降っていたのに、バスが走り出すとどんどん晴れてきて、支笏湖、洞爺湖、そして有珠山のロープウェイと紅葉混じりの素晴らしい景観を楽しむことができました。10時間も長いかなーと心配してましたが、見所たくさんで、あっという間のひとときでした。
一人参加の私にいろいろ気を配っていただき本当にありがとうございました。

There are many foreigners, the cost is low, and you can easily visit the places you want in one day. The tour guide's attentiveness was also wonderful, and I had a great time throughout the day. I would like to use this service again.

外国人の方が多い中、費用は安いし、一日かけて、行きたい所にサクッと行ける。添乗員さんの気遣いも素晴らしく、一日楽しめた。又、利用したい。

I was able to enjoy the best autumn leaves while relaxing on the bus. Thank you.

バスの中でリラックスしながら最高の紅葉を楽しむことができました。
ありがとうございます。ーーーーーーーー

It was my first time kayaking, but they kindly taught me. The weather was nice, and the autumn leaves were at their peak, which was beautiful. The guide's stories were really fun. I was surprised that they took 120 photos while guiding us! I would love to have them as my guide again when I come back to Hokkaido!

カヤックは初めてでしたが親切に教えて頂けました。天気も良くて紅葉も見頃で綺麗でした。ガイドの方のお話がめっちゃ楽しかったです。ガイドしながら写真も１２０枚も撮られててビックリしました。また北海道に来たらガイドして頂きたいです！！

I'm glad I was able to efficiently visit the attractions. I was able to relax at a foot bath along the way. There were many inbound tourists, and the guide seemed to have a tough time explaining in three languages: Japanese, English, and Chinese, but I appreciated their effort. The explanations in English were particularly easy to understand. The arrival time was almost as scheduled. Thank you very much.

Unfortunately, it was rainy on the day of the visit. If the weather had been nice, the autumn leaves would have looked stunning.

効率的に名所を回ることが出来てよかった。途中足湯でのんびりできた。インバウンドの観光客が多く、ガイドさんは日英中の3ヶ国語の説明で大変そうだったけど、頑張ってくれている様子がありがたかった。特に英語での説明がわかりやすかったですね。到着時間もほぼ予定通りでした。ありがとうございました。
当日は残念ながら雨模様だった。天気が良ければ紅葉も映えて最高だった。

There were more foreigners than the tour guests expected, and the guide was not Japanese, so it was an unsettling day. It might be understandable since the guide was a foreigner, but I didn't feel the spirit of hospitality.

ツアー客が思っていた以上に外人が多く、ガイドも日本人では無かったので、落ち着かない１日でした
ガイドが外人なので仕方ないかもしれないが、おもてなしが感じられなかった

All the drop-off points were great. I especially liked Cape Chikyu and the Silo Observatory. The guide from Taiwan was excellent. Their explanations and guidance were enjoyable and easy to understand, and they attentively supported the participants during the sightseeing. Most of the fellow travelers were Chinese tourists, but they were quiet and modest, and there were no moments of confusion due to cultural differences. It was a great tour, and I had a lot of fun. It exceeded my expectations.

下車地点はどこも良かった
特に気に入ったのは地球岬とサイロ展望台
台湾出身のガイドさんがとても良い
ガイドの説明と案内が楽しくわかりやすく、下車観光中も目を配って、親切に参加者をサポートしてくれた
相客は中国人旅行客が多かったが、物静かで控えめ、集合に遅れない方々で、文化の違いで困惑するような場面は無かった
良いツアーで、楽しめました
期待以上でした

It was disappointing that it went from heavy rain to light rain and then to cloudy skies. Among the more than 45 participants, there were only 4 Japanese. There were only announcements of necessary information, and there was no explanation of the tourist attractions.

大雨から小雨そして曇天の日だったのが残念。参加者45名以上のなか日本人は4名。必要事項だけのアナウンスで、観光地の解説はなかった。

We were able to visit several places in one day that would have been difficult to reach on our own, and the lunch was luxurious and enjoyable. There was free time at key points, which allowed us to spend our time satisfactorily. The breathtaking view from Mount Usu met our expectations, and Lake Toya was also very beautiful and impressive. Both the guide and the driver were pleasant. I would like to use this service again if the opportunity arises.

自分たちでは行きづらい場所に１日で数カ所も回ることができ、昼食も豪華でよかったです。要所要所で自由時間がもうけられているため、満足に過ごせました。有珠山からの絶景は期待通りで、洞爺湖もとても素敵で見応えがありました。ガイドの方もドライバーさんも感じが良かったです。また機会があれば利用したいと思います。

The scenery was breathtaking, and I was very satisfied with the lunch as well. The guide and the driver were both excellent. It was a sightseeing experience with great cost performance that you wouldn't expect from a regular sightseeing bus.

絶景はもちろん、ランチも大満足でした。
ガイドさん、運転手さんもとても良かったです。
定期観光バスとは思えないコスパの良い観光でした。

The one-day tour flew by in no time, and it was a fulfilling experience. I would like to use this service again when I go to Hokkaido.

1日観光があっという間に時間が過ぎ去り、充実したツアーでした。北海道行く時再度利用したいと思います。

Unfortunately, it was cloudy, but Lake Toya was beautiful. There were mostly foreigners, which I found a bit unpleasant. It seemed like there were particularly many people from Asia...

あいにく曇りでしたが、洞爺湖はきれいでした。外国人ばっかりで少し嫌でしたが。とくにアジア系の方が多いようで。。。

Arriving at the top of the ropeway, you reach the observation deck after a slight uphill path, and I was moved by the wonderful 360-degree view! Please be sure to participate and experience it for yourself!

ロープウェイの頂上到着、少し坂道になり展望台に到着しますと
360度見渡す限り素晴しい眺望で感動しました！
是非、参加して体験してみてください！　

The price is affordable for a tour that goes to various places. The tour guide's explanations were on par with a professional guide. The duration of stay at each location was appropriate. The total duration of the tour was also just right.

色々な場所へ行くツアーとしては価格は安い
添乗員の解説がガイド並みだった
それぞれの場所の滞在時間が適切だった
ツアーのトータル時間もほど良かった

The small group size allowed for detailed explanations, and they took a lot of time for photos at the photo spots.

Since the canoeing session lasted for 2 hours, including the time until dispersal, we were actually on the lake for less than an hour. I felt it was a bit lacking for the price. However, I think it's a good option for those who want to enjoy a long day and have a quick canoeing experience.

I participated in the session that started at 9 AM, and the gentle sunlight made for a pleasant morning activity.

As shown in the photos, it looks quite beautiful when the weather is nice. It became a great memory.

少人数制で丁寧な説明と、フォトスポットでの撮影をかなり細かくしてくださいました。

2時間でカヌーの漕ぎ方〜解散 だったので実際には湖の上に1時間もいませんでした。
値段の割にはちょっと物足りないと感じました。
一日を長く楽しみたい人にはサクッとカヌーができるのでおすすめかと思います。
9時スタートの会に参加しましたが、陽の光が優しく気持ちの良い朝活になりました。

写真の通り、天気が良いとかなり綺麗に見えます。いい思い出になりました。

It was truly the best bus tour. We were taken to places we could never have gone to on our own, and we made many precious memories. Also, the tour guide was amazing. He was a young man from Taiwan and very kind. His funny advice still lingers in my ears. If I use Veltra again next time, I would like to request that tour guide (laughs). He was really wonderful and the best tour guide. Thank you for your help.

ホントに最高のバスツアーでした。
私達だけでは、絶対に行けない場所を
ツアーで連れて行って頂き、大変貴重な
思い出が沢山できました。
そして、添乗員のお兄さん、最高でした。台湾出身の若い男性でしたが…とても優しく。面白いアドバイスが今も耳に残っています。
もし、次もベルトラさんを利用させていただくなら、あの添乗員さんでお願い致します（笑）ホントにステキで、最高の添乗員さんでした。お世話になりました。
