The guide's clear explanations and the perfect schedule made for an amazing day! Even though I participated alone, I found myself gasping in awe quite a bit, but if I had joined with family, it might have been quite noisy (laughs). I thoroughly enjoyed the red-crowned cranes, the beauty of Lake Mashu, the sand bath at Lake Kussharo, and the "Marimo tea" at Lake Akan, among countless other memories. The cost performance was definitely better than renting a car, which I was very satisfied with. Thank you for a wonderful day!

ガイドさんのわかりやすい説明と絶妙のスケジュール!最高の一日でした。
ひとりで参加したのに、結構、感嘆の声を上げておりましたが、家族で参加してたら大騒ぎをして、うるさかったかもしれません(笑)
タンチョウを満喫し、摩周湖が美しく、屈斜路湖の砂堀り湯、阿寒湖の「まりも茶」などなど、思い出は数えきれません。レンタカーを借りるより絶対安いコスパも満足です。
1日ありがとうございました!

Thank you very much for your kind words.
We appreciate you using the Pirika on your recent trip.
We are delighted to hear that you had a great journey.
The scenery is completely different in winter compared to spring, summer, and autumn, so if you have the opportunity, we would be grateful if you could also use the White Pirika and the Winter Tancho. We look forward to welcoming you again.
Thank you.

 ご丁寧にありがとうございます。
先日はピリカ号をご利用いただきありがとうございました。
良いご旅行となりましたようで弊社としましても嬉しい限りです。
同じ場所でも冬と春夏秋とでは景観が全く異なりますので、
機会がありましたら是非ホワイトピリカ号、冬のたんちょう号も
ご利用いただければ幸いです。お待ちしております。
ありがとうございました。

  • 摩周湖快晴!

Lake Mashu, Kussharo & Akan Scenic Excursions by Bus from Kushiro

Great bus tour

Reviewed by: Vivian

Exchanged the voucher for bus ticket at the bus terminal counter. First staff want to charge me, when I explained to her that I've already paid by my card to Veltra, she asked another staff. (maybe a senior). The senior staff then explained to her, and I was issued the bus ticket without any additional payment. Therefore I would suggest reaching the bus terminal at least 15 minutes before bus tour time to allow time to exchange the bus ticket.
Either than that, everything is great! The Japanese tour guide was great too!

Kushiro Sightseeing Bus Tour: Lake Akan, Lake Mashu, and Kushiro Onsen 釧路観光バスツアー 阿寒湖・摩周湖と釧路温泉

Reviewed by: Hiro

It was rainy and bad weather throughout the eastern part of Hokkaido, but it was comfortable because we traveled by bus. We couldn't see Lake Mashu at all. It's said that the area around Lake Mashu has a low rate of clear weather, so autumn is recommended.

道東全域雨の悪天候の参加でしたが、バス移動のため、楽ちんでした。摩周湖は、全く見えず。摩周湖周辺は、晴天率が低いため、秋がおすすめとのこと

Full Day Private Tour of the Akan Lakes from Kushiro

Splendid Day Trip

Reviewed by: Michelle

Thoroughly enjoyed this day trip. Our driver arrived at our hotel early to pick us up and was utterly charming and helpful throughout the trip. He had a translation phone app which allowed him to communicate what we would be doing, i.e which places to visit, and when we would be having lunch etc. He suggested changing the schedule slightly which was fine with us, as the weather wasn't very good. We squeezed lots of activities into the day and it was a great opportunity to get out into the beautiful Hokkaido countryside. We particularly enjoyed the visit to the crane centre. Thank you very much.

The best way to efficiently explore the area around Kushiro! 釧路周辺を効率よくまわるには最適!

Reviewed by: むにえる

I participated alone in early June. It was a tour around Lake Mashu, Lake Kussharo, Lake Akan, and Mount Io. Since I was alone, it was more convenient than renting a car. Lake Mashu was indeed shrouded in mist and not visible, but even in the rain, the greenery along the walking path at Lake Akan was beautiful, and it was very nice. I was picked up from the hotel just after 8 AM and returned to Kushiro Station around 4 PM, but the guide talked non-stop on the bus. It was interesting because they shared a lot of knowledge, but I was impressed by how they never seemed to get tired.
*I only passed through Kushiro Marsh on the bus, so I went there on another day by myself.*

6月初旬にひとりで参加しました。摩周湖、屈斜路湖、阿寒湖、硫黄山をめぐるツアーです。ひとりなのでレンタカーを借りたりするより便利です。摩周湖はやはり霧で見えませんでしたが、阿寒湖は雨降りでも遊歩道の緑が美しく、とても良かったです。朝8時過ぎにホテルでピックアップしてもらって、夕方16時くらいに釧路駅に戻ってきましたが、バスの中ではガイドさんがずーーーーーーーっとしゃべりっぱなし。いろんな知識を教えてくれるので面白いのですが、いや、よく疲れないなと感心しました。
※釧路湿原はバスで通過するだけなので、別の日に自分で行きました。

Thank you very much for using our regular sightseeing bus "Pirika." This course, which takes you on a day trip through Akan National Park, visiting Lake Mashu, Lake Kussharo, and Lake Akan, has received great acclaim from both domestic and international customers.

In addition to the sightseeing spots visited by "Pirika," there are also opportunities for walking along the wooden paths of the Kushiro Wetlands and canoeing down the Kushiro River. Furthermore, this area often enjoys good weather from autumn to winter, and around early October, you can see the beautiful autumn leaves. From autumn, you can also enjoy the "Kushiro Sunset," which is said to be one of the three great sunsets in the world. If you have the chance, we invite you to visit this region, "Eastern Hokkaido," where you can fully enjoy the beauty of nature throughout the four seasons.

 この度は弊社定期観光バス「ピリカ号」をご利用いただきまして、誠にありがとうございます。このコースは摩周湖・屈斜路湖・阿寒湖の阿寒国立公園(道東三湖巡り)の日帰り定期観光バスとして、国内外のお客様から大変好評をいただいております。
 釧路市近郊には「ピリカ号」で巡る観光地のほかにも、釧路湿原の木道散策や釧路川のカヌー川下り等々。 更にこのエリアは秋から冬にかけて好天に恵まれることが多く、10月上旬頃には「紅葉」が見られます。 秋口からは世界三大夕日の一つと言われる「釧路の夕日」なども楽しんでいただけます。 また機会がございましたら、四季折々の大自然を満喫いただけるこの地、「ひがし北海道」へ是非お越しくださいませ。

Hokkaido Crane Viewing Taxi Transfer from Kushiro

Wonderful cranes

Reviewed by: Ross

We took this tour, only one available on the internet to see the Japanese cranes in winter, when they do their courtship and dance. We had a very polite, kind driver, who took us to 3 different spots to view the cranes. It was just after a blizzard but the roads had been cleaned, fortunately. We would recommend this tour to anyone who likes birds in a beautiful scenery. Only slight problem is that the driver is not fluent in English but he definitely tries hard and is very nice. We still give the tour 5 stars.

Five stars can be given and it is very deep emotion. It was good for the weather to improve. Since what can speak English was not, I imposed inconvenience. I receive the customers with much enthusiasm. Please come for Japanese crane observation again if you please. Thank you .
Dear Ross.

Winter Tour on the 55 PASS with the Tanchō Train しつげん55PASSで巡る 冬のたんちょう号

Reviewed by: 埼玉県熊谷市 江森

From February 16 to February 18, we stayed for two nights in winter Kushiro as an elderly couple. On February 17, we took the White Pirika train and toured around Lake Akan, Lake Mashu, Kushiro Wetlands, and observed the Japanese cranes. On February 18, we boarded the Winter Tancho train with the Shitsugen 55 PASS. We observed the cranes at Kushiro City Tancho Crane Nature Park and the Akan International Crane Center, where we saw many Japanese cranes against the pristine white snowfields, which was just as wonderful as we had expected. We were surprised by the number of visitors and photographers.

2/16-2/18まで2泊で、年寄夫婦で、冬の釧路に行ってきました。
2/17は ホワイトピリカ号で、阿寒湖、摩周湖、釧路湿原、タンチョウヅルの観察など周遊しました。
2/18は、しつげん55PASSで巡る 冬のたんちょう号に乗車しました。
釧路市丹頂鶴 自然公園と阿寒国際ツルセンターで丹頂を観察しましたが、真っ白の雪原に沢山の丹頂が見られ、思った通り素晴らしいものでした。
見学者と、カメラマンの多さには驚きました。

White Pirika from Kushiro 釧路発 ホワイトピリカ号

Reviewed by: 埼玉県熊谷市 江森

We stayed for two nights from February 16 to February 18, as an elderly couple, in winter Kushiro. We stayed at a hotel in Kushiro city, and on February 17, we took the White Pirika train to tour around Lake Akan, Lake Mashu, Kushiro Wetlands, and observe the Japanese cranes. We were blessed with good weather, and it was a comfortable course without being too cold. I have visited winter Hokkaido several times, including the Sapporo Snow Festival and the drift ice in Shiretoko, but I was particularly impressed by Lake Mashu. On February 18, we boarded the Winter Tancho train with the Shitsugen 55 PASS.

Private Taxi Tour to Lake Akan from Kushiro (7 hours)

Very good experience : )

Reviewed by: 2 couples in Akan

Having a good day in this private tour. Sight seeing from Akan to Kushiro view is good and experience is good. Driver service is very good. Time is tight in this tour next time we will plan to re-visit again thru Veltra with enough time for sight seeing in Akan.
