In winter, when the roads are icy, it's very helpful to be taken by bus instead of dealing with a rental car. When staying at Lake Akan, it was also convenient that they dropped us off at various hotels around Lake Akan.
冬で道も凍ったりするとレンタカーでは大変なので、バスで連れて行ってもらえるのはとても助かります。阿寒湖で泊まる場合、阿寒湖の各ホテルを巡ってそこで降ろしてくれるのも助かりました。

I think this tour, which allows you to visit the three major caldera lakes and sulfur mountains at a reasonable price, is very helpful for those who cannot drive. We were blessed with good weather, the air was clear, and it wasn't as cold as I had expected; every view we encountered was wonderful. Each of the three lakes has its own characteristics and beauty, and just looking at them brought peace to my heart.
Depending on the time we arrived at Lake Akan Onsen, I planned to decide whether to take a sightseeing boat or visit a hot spring. We arrived at 12:45, 15 minutes earlier than the scheduled 1:00 PM (though arriving early doesn't extend our stay by 15 minutes). Since we made it in time for the 1:05 PM boat, we grabbed lunch at Seicomart before boarding and enjoyed the scenery from the lake. We were also able to see the giant marimo at the Marimo Observation Center on Churui Island.
I was impressed by the guide's earnestness, but it was incomprehensible that, while saying, "I will only talk about important things because I've received complaints that my talking is annoying and I've been instructed to put the microphone down during long travel times," they continued to hold the microphone and talk non-stop. I believe the "important things" in a bus tour are just the meeting and departure times. It was painful to endure the endless explanations that you can find on various websites.
However, upon reflection, I think the annoyance I felt was more about my personal preference regarding the guide's voice quality and tone rather than the content of the talk. I struggled with the high-pitched voice (the so-called anime voice) that had a strange tempo and elongated endings, which made my ears tired as I listened on and on. I also wished they would refrain from singing in a childish, nursery rhyme style. The only regret I have is that I couldn't quietly enjoy the scenery from the bus window. Foreign participants also seemed to look annoyed. It might be sufficient to play short audio guides in various languages at key points and distribute a single sheet of paper for important notices...
リーズナブルな価格で三大カルデラ湖と硫黄山をまわることができ、運転できない身にはとてもありがたいツアーだと思います。
天気に恵まれて空気が澄み渡り、思っていたほど寒くもなく、目にした景色の全てが素晴らしかったです。
三つの湖はそれぞれの特徴と美しさがあり、ただ眺めているだけで心が休まりました。
阿寒湖温泉に着く時間によって、遊覧船に乗るか立寄湯行くか決めるつもりでいたら、「予定13時」のところ15分早い12時45分に到着(したからと言って、滞在時間が15分延びるわけではないのですが)。
13時05分発の遊覧船に間に合った為、Seicomartで昼食を仕入れてから乗船し、湖上から眺める景色を堪能することに。
チュウルイ島のマリモ展示観察センターで巨大マリモを見ることもできました。
ガイドさんの一生懸命な様子には感心しましたが、「『話が煩い』と苦情が入り『長い移動中はマイクを置け』と指示されているので大事なことだけ話しますが・・・」と前置きしながら、絶えずマイクを持ち続け、ずーーっと喋りっ放しなのは理解不能です。
バスツアーで言う"大事なこと"は、集合時刻・出発時刻のみだと思います。
あちこちのWebサイトに載っているような説明を延々と続けられ、苦痛でした。
ただ、よく考えると、煩いと感じるのは話ではなく、ガイドさんの声質と口調に対する好みの問題のような気がします。
鼻にかかった高い声(いわゆるアニメ声)で妙なテンポで語尾をのばしながら舌足らずな話し方が「私は」苦手で、延々と聞かされ続けるうちに耳が疲れてしまいました。
わざと童謡風に子供みたいな感じで歌うのも勘弁して欲しかったです。
車窓からの景色を静かに楽しめなかったことだけが残念。
外国人の参加者も迷惑そうな顔をしていました。
要所要所で各国語の短い音声案内を流し、注意事項は紙ペラ1枚配れば十分なのでは…?

I used this service on the day I was returning from Kushiro to Haneda on the last flight, so I booked a plan to the airport. Additionally, I had originally planned to leave the group at Lake Akan and take a local bus to the airport. Even though it’s a local bus, it costs 2,190 yen, so being able to take the airport-bound local bus with this tour ticket is quite a bargain.
By choosing the local bus, my free time at Lake Akan, which was originally 2 hours, became 3 hours. However, I was still worried about whether I could visit all the places I wanted to go (Ainu Kotan, lake cruise, and Bokké promenade). At one point, I considered taking a motorboat instead of the sightseeing boat, but the price would double for one person.
In the end, I arrived at Lake Akan around 12:30, which gave me an extra 30 minutes compared to my original plan, and I was able to board the sightseeing boat without any issues! At Ainu Kotan, I happened to catch an outdoor event and was able to enjoy Ainu traditional dances and more.
On the Bokké promenade, I was worried because I couldn’t find any Bokké even after walking along the path by the lake, but I was on the right track and managed to see Bokké at two locations. I also stopped by the Eco Museum Center before heading to the bus center.
I appreciate the guide, the driver, and all the participants for making the early bus operation possible.
Points of concern:
- I was asked to show a QR code when boarding, but I believe that if you booked through VELTRA, you wouldn’t receive a QR code. It wasn’t a problem to just say my name, but it might be better to agree on an operational method.
- There was no information on the official page regarding the exact drop-off locations and their order at Lake Akan, and I had to call to inquire about it.
釧路→羽田の最終便で帰る日に利用しましたので、空港までのプランを予約。且つ、阿寒湖で離団し路線バスで空港に向かう予定で当初より計画していました。路線バスといえども2190円もしますので、このツアーのチケットで空港行き路線バスに乗せてもらえるというのは、かなりお得です。
路線バスを選択することで、阿寒湖で本来2時間の自由行動が3時間になるわけですが、それでも、私の行きたいところ(アイヌコタン・湖上遊覧・ボッケ遊歩道)を周りきれるか、不安でした。
場合によっては、遊覧船でなくモーターボートにしようとも思いましたが、1名だと2倍の料金になってしまいます。
しかしながら、結果的には阿寒湖に12時半頃には到着したため、元の予定より30分も余裕ができ、何の問題もなく遊覧船に乗れました!
アイヌコタンでは偶然、屋外でイベントをやっていて、アイヌ民族舞踊等を鑑賞することができました。
ボッケ遊歩道では、湖に沿った道をひたすら進んでもなかなかボッケが見つからないので心配になりましたが、道は間違っておらず無事にボッケを2箇所見て、エコミュージアムセンターにも少し寄って、ゴールのバスセンターへ。
ガイドさん、運転手さん、参加者の皆様のお陰で、早目のバス運行ができたことを感謝しております。
気になった点
・乗車時にQRコード提示を求められたが、VELTRA経由の予約だとQRコードは届いていないと思う。名前を言えば問題はなかったけれど、運用方法を申し合わせた方がいいのでは。
・阿寒湖での正確な下車場所やその順番の情報が公式ページにもなく、電話で問い合わせなければなかった。
It seems that the coin lockers at Lake Akan are only available at the bus center.
阿寒湖のコインロッカーはバスセンターにしかないそうです

On September 16, 2025, my spouse and I participated in the tour. We boarded and disembarked at Fisherman's Wharf. We were blessed with a clear sunny day and were able to enjoy the sights of Mount Iou, Lake Kussharo, and Lake Akan, but the beauty of Lake Mashu (our second visit) was truly breathtaking.
The female bus guide (tour conductor?) was exceptional; I have encountered many guides both domestically and internationally, but without exaggeration, she was simply wonderful. For over an hour after the bus started, she stood at the front providing continuous commentary, and after we got off the bus, her attention to detail in guiding and taking photos was impressive.
I was really looking forward to walking on the boardwalk of the Kushiro Wetlands during this tour, but it turned out to be "from the bus window," which was disappointing...
2025年9月16日に夫婦で参加しました。「フィッシャーマンズワーフ」乗降でした。快晴の一日に恵まれ、硫黄山、屈斜路湖、阿寒湖もそれぞれ楽しく見物することが出来ましたが、取り分け、摩周湖(二度目)の美しさは息を飲むほどでした。
女性のバスガイド(ツアーコンダクター?)さんの説明、対応は抜群で、今まで国内外のご担当に数多く接してきましたが、お世辞抜きで本当に素晴らしい~の一語に尽きる方でした。バスがすたーとしてからは1時間強、バス前方に立ったまま観光ガイドを途切れることなく、またバスを降りてからは案内、写真撮りなど、きめ細やかな配慮には感心するばかりでした。
今回のツアーでは、「釧路湿原」の木道を歩くことを大変楽しみにしていましたが、「車窓から」ということでしたので、この点は残念でしたが・・・。

This tour is cheap, cheap, cheap. It's extremely cost-effective. The scenery by Lake Shikotsu was amazing. It felt a bit like being in a movie. Currently, bears are facing a lot of criticism from human society, but I think the bear ranch is worth a visit. It makes you think about various things. I felt that places like Lake Toya and Noboribetsu truly represent the tourist attractions of Hokkaido.
このツアーは安い、安い、安い。超コスパが良い。支笏湖畔の景観が最高でした。
ちょっと映画の世界にいるような感じにもなりました。今、人間社会からやたら非難を浴びている熊ですが、クマ牧場は訪れる価値はあると思います。つまり、いろいろ考えさせられるからです。洞爺湖、登別など、さすが北海道を代表する観光名所だと感じた次第です。
Visiting Lake Shikotsu might actually be better by driving rather than taking a bus tour. However, the tour is still quite good value and includes other lovely sightseeing spots, so it is a good deal.
支笏湖畔訪問は実際、バスツアーでなくドライブするのが良いかもしれません。しかしながらツアーはツアーで大変高率良いし、他の素敵な観光場所も含まれているのでお得はお得です。私は自信を持ってお勧めします。

Many of the restaurants listed on the Akanko Onsen map distributed in the car were either closed or not open that day. If you plan to have lunch at Akanko Lake, it's important to keep this in mind.

A few days ago, due to the aftermath of heavy rain, it was quite difficult just to arrive in Kushiro the day before, so I started with anxiety about whether the tour would even take place. Fortunately, the weather was kind on the day of the tour, and the guidance from our female guide was consistently pleasant. Even though I participated with lack of sleep, I was captivated by the wonderful explanations and felt it was a shame to sleep during the ride; the tour flew by in no time. I was able to fully enjoy the fun atmosphere and beautiful scenery. I was surprised to see so many red-crowned cranes from the car window on the way. Since it was a trip with my second son, I've decided that next time, we will participate together with my eldest son as well.
数日前の大雨の名残で前日は釧路に着くのさえも大変だったので、そもそもツアーは催行されるのか?の不安からのスタートでした。
当日は幸いお天気に恵まれ、女性ガイドさんの案内も終始心地よかった。寝不足で参加したのに車中で眠るなんて勿体無い素晴らしい解説に聞き惚れて、あっという間のツアーでした。楽しい雰囲気と美しい景色を最大限満喫出来ました(^^)v
行きの車窓から丹頂を沢山観ることも出来てびっくり。
次男との2人旅だったので次回は長男も一緒にまた参加しようと決めています。
I used the day-use hot spring at Akanko Lake New Hotel, and the open-air bath on the 9th floor offers a relaxing view of Akanko Lake, and the amenities were well-equipped. I recommend it.

We were blessed with good weather, and especially at Lake Mashu, we could see the entire view beautifully, capturing the background of Mount Shari and Mount Mashu in great photos. I enjoyed Mount Iou as well, but when I returned to the hotel and washed my hands, I felt there was a slight sulfur smell. Due to the limited time at Lake Akan, we used a motorboat, which was a bit expensive, but my family enjoyed it. I think the bus guide did a great job explaining everything, but the other two felt there was a bit too much talking. Additionally, I learned that the Kushiro region has little snow, making it unsuitable for farming and rice cultivation.
好天に恵まれ、特に摩周湖が全景をきれいに見渡せ背景の斜里岳、摩周岳も取り込んで写真もいい具合に撮れた。硫黄山も良かったがホテルに戻って紙を洗うとき少し硫黄臭い匂いがした様な気がした。阿寒湖は滞在時間の関係でモーターボートを利用したが少し高異が家族だけで愉しめた。なお私はバスガイドさんは一生懸命説明してくれて良かった思っているが、残り二人はやや話が多すぎたと言っている。なお、釧路地方は雪が少なく畑作、稲作に適さない理由は勉強になった。

When I participated, there were no foreign guests, and since I was the only participant with an empty seat next to me, I was able to enjoy the tour comfortably!

The travel time and sightseeing time were just right, allowing us to use our time meaningfully. The guide's explanations were also very good.
I sat on the right side because I read in reviews that it was better, and indeed, I had a great view of the Kushiro Wetlands. However, on this day, the left side had a higher chance of seeing deer and red-crowned cranes, so I think both seats offer a good experience.
Everyone gathered at least five minutes before the meeting time, and we moved promptly. We were dropped off in front of the hotel (Akan Yuku no Sato Tsuruga) around 12:45, and we were lucky to make it in time for the 13:05 Lake Akan cruise.

I used the service from Kushiro Station to Kushiro Airport. I was really surprised that I could stop at four places for this price. Although it was cheap, it wasn't a rough tour; we had a clean bus, a safe driver, and a fun guide. There was nothing to complain about.
Unfortunately, due to thick fog from the previous day, the Kushiro Wetlands were shrouded in mist from the bus window. And at Lake Mashu, we couldn't see anything from the observation deck (laughs). It truly was "the misty Lake Mashu." It was disappointing, but it's all part of the experience. I enjoyed the stops at Sulfur Mountain, Lake Kussharo, and Lake Akan (with free time for lunch, etc.) without any issues.
Actually, this day was a personal commemorative trip for me. It was unexpected at Lake Mashu, but I had a great time.

Thank you for the safe driving.
The guide was kind, but I wish they had included more information for tourists who know nothing about the area, such as the meaning of "Cotan" in Ainu Kotan, the temperature at the next stop, the types of jobs people in the area have, and how much snowfall there is in winter, among other things.
I might have had my expectations set too high because of the high ratings in the reviews.
I think the time at Lake Kussharo could have been shorter.
It was a valuable tour that took us to places we couldn't reach on our own.

ガイドさんは親切なところもあったのですが、
例えばアイヌコタンのコタンとはどういう意味か、
次の下車地の気温や、
この辺りの人の就業の職種とか
冬はどれくらい積雪になるか等々、
その土地のことを何も知らない観光客へ組み込んでほしかった。
口コミが高評価だったので期待値が上がりすぎたかも。
屈斜路湖での時間はもっと短くて良いと思う。
自力で行けない所へ連れて行ってくださる貴重なツアーではありました。
Lake Mashu was cold, and Lake Akan was hot.
摩周湖は寒くて、阿寒湖は暑かったです。

The guide's stories were wonderful, and I was able to deeply understand the nature and history of Eastern Hokkaido. The misty Lake Mashu was disappointing, but I was convinced that it was okay to come back after hearing that even Emperor Showa's companions tried multiple times and failed to see it clearly.
ガイドさんのお話が素晴しく、道東の自然と歴史を深く知ることができました。霧の摩周湖はザンネンでしたが、昭和天皇ですらお付きの人が何度もトライしてダメだったとのお話で、また来ればいいと納得。
The day-use hot spring, Tenku Spa at Lake Akan, was very nice.
阿寒湖の日帰り温泉の天空スパ、とても良かったです。

I was planning a solo trip to Kushiro to visit places like Lake Mashu and Lake Akan, but there was no public transportation available. I had reserved a rental car, but I found this tour at the last minute and switched to it. The places I wanted to visit were all included in the tour, and the tour cost was more economical than the rental car. I enjoyed spotting the Kushiro Wetlands and the red-crowned cranes from the bus window. The nature in Hokkaido truly offers an extraordinary experience that you can't enjoy every day. Unfortunately, I couldn't see anything at misty Lake Mashu, but according to the guide, it's rare for it to be clear.
I walked around Lake Akan for about two hours, so I was able to rest on the bus on the way back. While it was hot when I left Honshu, I was able to enjoy the cool weather in Kushiro. It's not a place I can visit frequently, considering I had to take two flights to get here, but I'm satisfied that I was able to visit a place I've always wanted to see.
釧路への一人旅で摩周湖や阿寒湖などを回ろうと思いましたが、公共交通機関はなく、レンタカーを予約していましたが、直前でこのツアーを見つけて切り替えました。行きたいことろがツアーにまとまっていたし、ツアー代もレンタカー代よりもお得に済みました。社窓から釧路湿原やタンチョウを見つけながら楽しめました。やはり北海道の自然は普段味わえない非日常です。あいにく霧の摩周湖で何も見えませんでしたが、ガイドさんによれば晴れる事のほうが稀のようでした。
阿寒湖で2時間くらい歩いていたので帰りはバスで休んでこれました。
出発するとき本州は暑かったに釧路では涼しく過ごせました。飛行機を2つ乗り継いでくるくらい何度も来れる場所ではないのですが、一度は行ってみたい場所だったので来れて満足です。

I honestly had too much time to spare at Lake Akan for two hours. It was hot, and there was no place to cool off; the café-like spot we entered had no air conditioning. The guide kept talking non-stop. I wanted some time to quietly enjoy the view from the window. The clear view of Lake Mashu without fog was a relief.
阿寒湖2時間は正直時間を持て余した。暑かったせいもあるが涼むところもなく、入った喫茶店ぽいところは冷房がなく。
ガイドさんはずっと喋りっぱなし。静かに窓からの景色を見る時間も欲しかった。
霧のない摩周湖が綺麗にみられたのが救い。

You can efficiently visit tourist spots that are difficult to reach without a private car or rental car in just one day. The bus guide's assistance is excellent. Pirika is a tour that I can recommend to everyone, whether traveling solo or in a group.
自家用車やレンタカーが無いと行きづらい観光地を1日で効率よく回れます。
バスガイドさんのご案内が最高です。
ピリカは、一人旅、グループ旅行問わず、皆さんにオススメできるツアーです。
The free time at Lake Akan goes by in a flash. I chose to visit a day-use hot spring, but I recommend doing some research in advance to decide what you want to do, whether it's trying local cuisine, t
阿寒湖での自由時間はあっという間です。
私は日帰り温泉入浴を選びましたが、地元料理を食べたり、観光船に乗ったり、或いは自然探勝路を歩いたり等、何がしたいかを事前に下調べしていくことをお勧めします。

It would have been better if we could have stayed longer in each location, but the bus takes us efficiently. The bus guide provided various explanations and even sang songs, which was very nice. I wanted to take a walk to Bokkē at Lake Akan, but it seems a brown bear had appeared a few days ago, so the walking trail was closed.
各地でもう少し滞在時間が長ければもっと良かったですが、バスで連れて行ってくれるので効率が良いです。
バスガイドさんがいろいろ説明してくれたり、歌を歌ってくれたりと、とても良かったです。
阿寒湖ではボッケまで散策したかったのですが、数日前にヒグマがでたらしく、散策路は閉鎖されていました。
You need sunscreen in the summer.
夏は日焼け止め必要です

The weather was favorable, and each lake was very beautiful. The bus guide shared various stories throughout the trip, which were very interesting. We had about two hours at Lake Akan, but after having a meal and exploring the area, we barely had enough time. Considering it was a precious opportunity to enjoy the hot springs, I thought it would be difficult to fit everything in without cutting something out (the day-use hot springs are paid, and there are rental towels available).
天気に恵まれて各湖はとてもキレイでした、バスガイドさんは、終始いろんな話をしてくれてとても興味深かったです
最後の阿寒湖は2時間ほどあったんですが、食事と周辺散策すると、ほぼ時間が足りなかった、せっかくの温泉なので少しそちらもと考えると、何かを削らなくては難しいと思った(日帰り温泉は有料で貸しタオルも有)
1. Even if you have purchased a ticket for the Pirika online, you need to exchange it for a paper ticket at the information center if you are boarding from in front of Kushiro Station.
2. The bus do
1、ピリカ号のチケットはオンラインで取っていても釧路駅前から乗る場合は案内センターで紙チケットへの引換が必要
2、バスは案内センター前ではなく、通常のバス停に停まっているので注意(観光バスでわかる)

I was able to efficiently cover a route with quite a distance. Thank you to the driver for safe driving. The guide also provided detailed explanations, which were wonderful. The time allocation for sightseeing was just right. During the journey, I was amazed by the quick alerts about the red-crowned cranes, foxes, and deer we encountered (laughs). I enjoyed both the sightseeing and the views from the car window.
かなり距離のある行程を効率よく回ることができました。運転手さん安全運転ありがとうございました。ガイドさんも詳しく説明してくださり素晴らしかったです。観光の時間配分もちょうどよかったです。道中、丹頂鶴、キツネ、鹿などが居ると素早く教えてくれて察知能力にびっくり(笑)観光も車窓からの景色も楽しむことができました。

お天気次第なところもあるかもしれませんが楽しめると思います。外国人の利用者も多いですが、私は気になりませんでした。時間を効率よく使えますし自分で運転して回るより安心で楽ができました!

I used this service because I wanted to see the Kushiro Wetlands. I had no knowledge of the area and no car, so I was wondering how to get around when I found a perfect sightseeing bus tour, which was a great help. Thanks to this, I was able to see the Kushiro Wetlands, Lake Kussharo, Lake Akan, and Lake Mashu. I don't think I would have been able to see them on my own. I made wonderful memories. Thank you very much.
釧路湿原あたりを観たかったので利用しました。
土地勘はないし車もないしで、どうやって周ろうかと考えていたときに丁度良い観光バスツアーがあったので助かりました。
おかげで釧路湿原、屈斜路湖、阿寒湖、摩周湖と観ることができました。
自力では観ることができなかったと思います。
良い思い出が作れました。
どうもありがとうございました。
They will take you to the points efficiently. If you don't have a good sense of direction or a car like me, I definitely recommend using it.
効率よくポイントに連れて行ってくれます。
私のように土地勘や車がない方は是非利用してみてください。
