All Reviews for Asahiyama Zoo

I felt that guests from more than three countries participated, and they kindly guided us in Japanese, Chinese, and English. The tour guide was from Taiwan, bright and friendly with a wonderful smile! I could feel their thoughtful attention, and they were very kind. They communicated with all of us participating in the tour, including us, with smiles, and I believe everyone was able to relax and enjoy themselves. I am truly grateful for their interesting and enthusiastic explanations.

Our stay at Asahiyama Zoo was about an hour and a half, which might feel a bit short for those who want to take their time, but we were able to see almost all the popular animals, except for those that were resting! Despite the unfortunate weather, we were able to see both the Blue Pond and Shirahige Falls well. The wonderful memories were thanks to the tour guide! I was very happy to have such a lovely encounter, a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thank you very much to the tour guide and the driver!

体感では三か国以上のお客さんが参加していて、日本語・中国語・英語の三か国語で丁寧に案内してくださいました。
添乗員さんは台湾の方で、明るく気さくで笑顔がとても素敵！細やかな気配りも感じられ、とても優しい方でした。
私たちを含め、ツアーに参加しているみなさんと笑顔でコミュニケーションを取っていて、皆さん安心して楽しく過ごせたのではと思います。
また、面白く楽しく、一生懸命説明してくださって本当に感謝です。

旭山動物園の滞在は約1時間半で、じっくり見たい方には少し短く感じるかもしれませんが、人気の動物をはじめ、お休み中の動物以外はほとんど見ることができました！
あいにくの天気でしたが、青い池も白ひげの滝もよく見ることができました。
良い思い出になったのは添乗員さんのおかげです！
一期一会の素敵な出会いに恵まれ、とても嬉しかったです。
添乗員さん、運転手さん、本当にありがとうございました！

The guide from Taiwan provided heartfelt hospitality and was punctual, making the flow of the tour very good. However, the pork curry I had at Hanazono Shokudo in Kamifurano during lunch was so bad that it makes me feel nauseous just thinking about it. The pork was incredibly smelly, and it felt like they mixed boiled meat that had been sitting for a while into a low-quality lukewarm curry. When visiting Hokkaido, I wanted to enjoy delicious food, and each meal is precious, but that lukewarm, smelly pork curry for 1,200 yen was unacceptable. It felt like a careless offering aimed at foreign tourists, and it was frustrating.

台湾人のガイドさんが、心を込めたおもてなしで、ガイドしてくださり、時間もきっちりしていて、ツアーの流れとしてはとても良かったのですが、ランチに立ち寄った上富良野の花園食堂さんで食べたポークカレーが、思い出しても吐きそうになるくらい不味かった。豚が臭くて臭くて、茹でて時間が経った肉をクオリティーの低い生ぬるいカレーに入れて混ぜた感じ。北海道に来たら美味しい物をあれこれ食べたくて一食が貴重なのに、1200円であの生ぬるい豚臭いカレーはないな。外国人観光客相手のテキトーな物で、腹が立ちました。

My first visit to Asahiyama Zoo became a wonderful memory. The one who added color to that memory was the excellent bus guide. Especially, their beautiful voice was as pleasant to listen to as a voice actor or announcer, and their clear articulation without any stumbles made the experience very comfortable. I could sense their intelligence through the content of the guidance and their humor. They were the best bus guide I have ever encountered. Please continue to guide with confidence. I wish you all the best in your endeavors. Thank you! 😊

初めての旭山動物園、良い思い出となりました。その思い出に彩りを添えて頂いたのが名バスガイドさんでした。特に声優、アナウンサーにも劣らない聞き心地良い美しい声、まったく噛まない滑舌の良さ、案内の内容とユーモアから知性を感じることができ、とても快適でした。これまで出会ったバスガイドさんの中で一番良かったです。これからも自信を持って案内してくださいね。ご活躍を願ってます。ありがとう😊

I participated in a one-day tour of Asahiyama Zoo, and the bus driver and guide were very kind! It was a two-day tour from Sapporo, and I had to choose the second day because my flight times didn't match. They made sure I made it in time for my flight, which was a great help! 😊

Thank you for explaining the ecology of bears in such detail; I now understand why they have been appearing in the city recently. It was also very cute to see how the bears look up to the caretakers like parents, and when they miss a meal, they seem to be asking for it with their adorable, pleading cries.

クマの生態について、とても詳しく説明してくださり、何故最近街中に出没してるのかぎよくわかりました、また、飼育員さんを親の様に慕ってるのか、餌をあげ損ねたら、くださいよ〜って、言ってる様に甘えた鳴き声で催促してるのがとても可愛かった。

You can visit multiple attractions like the zoo, and the tour guide's explanations were easy to understand, making for a truly enjoyable day. If I have the chance to go to Sapporo again, I would love to participate again.

動物園など見どころを複数回ってもらえるし、添乗員さんの説明が分かりやすくて、本当に楽しい1日でした。次に札幌行く機会があればまた参加したいです。

I was with people from overseas, and the guide was very attentive, making it a really enjoyable tour. It was fun. Thank you.

海外の方と一緒でしたが、ガイドさんが気配りできる方でとても楽しいツアーでした。
楽しかったです。
ありがとうございます。

Asahiyama Zoo is not very large, so I was able to enjoy it fully in just an hour and a half. The Blue Pond was quite blue and left me impressed.

旭山動物園は、規模はそれほど大きくないですので、1時間30分でも、十分に楽しめました。青い池は、かなり青くて感動しました。

Asahiyama Zoo offers a close-up experience with the animals, making it feel very real. Even in September, it was hot, so it's necessary to be prepared with items like sun umbrellas and hats. You have about three and a half hours to explore, so you can take your time.

旭山動物園は動物との距離が近いのでリアルです。
９月でも暑かったので、日傘や帽子など
工夫が必要です。
時間は３時間半ほどありますので､のんびりと回れます。

I participated with my elementary school child. The way the animals were presented was fun and interesting. Since my child loves living creatures, there was a desire to take a bit more time to look around, and I think we could have enjoyed it more if we had one more hour. This time, we had rice balls for lunch and walked around without taking many breaks, but in the end, we hurried back.

小学生の子供と一緒に参加しました。動物たちの見せ方が楽しく興味深かったです。
子どもが生き物好きなため、もっとゆっくり見たかったという気持ちもあり、後1時間あれば満喫できたと思います。
今回は昼食もおにぎりで済ませ、あまり休憩をせずに見て歩いたのですが、最後はあわただしく戻りました。

This time, it was a course only to Asahiyama Zoo, so the round-trip bus was new and comfortable, and the stay at the zoo was three and a half hours, which was sufficient.

今回、旭山動物園のみのコースでしたので、往復のバスも新型で快適で、動物園の滞在時間も3時間半あり十分でした

I participated while living in Sapporo, and I found it quite challenging to get there without a car, so I researched and found this tour. I was able to efficiently visit a place I've always wanted to go, and I had a longer stay at the zoo, allowing me to see the animals thoroughly, which was great! Thank you!

札幌在住での参加でしたが、自分で車無しで行こうとすると結構大変な道のりでしたので、調べてこちらのツアーに辿り着きました。
いつか行きたい場所に効率よく行けて、かつ動物園の滞在時間も長めで、隅々まで動物を見られて良かったです！
ありがとうございました！

I chose a course that only included Asahiyama Zoo. Since I love zoos, three hours wasn't enough, but I had a great time. The bus guide provided various insights, which were very helpful. Next time I come to Hokkaido, I would like to book a tour again. They also make sure to stop at souvenir shops.

旭山動物園だけのコースを選択しました
動物園好きなので、3時間じゃ足りなかったけど、とても楽しかったです
バスガイドさんが、いろいろガイドしてくださり、とても参考になりました
次回、北海道に来た際も、またツアーを申し込みたいです
ちゃんと、お土産屋さんにも寄ってくださいます

During my trip staying in Sapporo, I really wanted to visit Asahiyama Zoo, so I signed up for a tour. The bus was comfortable, and the guide's stories were interesting, making the journey enjoyable. The meeting place in the morning was easy to find, but no staff came outside even when it was time to gather, which made me a bit anxious until the bus arrived.

札幌に宿泊の旅行中に、どうしても旭山動物園に行きたくてツアーに申し込みました。バスは快適で、ガイドさんの話も面白くて道中も楽しめました。
朝の集合場所はわかりやすいのですが、集合時間になってもスタッフの方は誰も外に来ず、乗るバスが来るまで少し不安でした。

I traveled to Hokkaido on a bullet train. Since I had limited time, I thought about how to make the most of my day and came up with this plan. It turned out to be a great decision.

In the city, everywhere in Japan feels the same. Since I came to Hokkaido, I wanted to experience nature. Everything was, of course, wonderful.

For lunch, I chose an all-you-can-eat melon, but it seemed like everyone was securing multiple melons even before the meal. I thought it was supposed to be that you eat one after finishing your meal and then get more if you wanted. It was frustrating to see so many people being greedy from the start, and it made me feel uncomfortable dining with them. Their greed was overwhelming. Even my child didn’t take dessert at the beginning.

I can only accept that it’s unavoidable to have foreign guests behaving that way.

The tour guide was wonderful. She was charming, had a lovely voice, and was very skilled in both languages.

The person I am most grateful to is the driver. He drove with great care for the passengers throughout the trip. On mountain roads, bumpy paths, and slopes, his driving made it feel like there was no gear shifting. When we returned from breaks, he always greeted us with "Welcome back," which, while it may seem like a small thing, made me feel very comfortable.

Thank you for the 10 hours of driving. I would like to use your services again.

弾丸で北海道へ。時間が無いためどうしたら一日を有意義に過ごせるか考えてこのプランへ。結果大正解でした。
街中なんか日本全国どこも同じ。北海道に来たからには自然を味わいたい。
どこも当然素晴らしい。
ランチですが、メロン食べ放題を選んだのですが、食事前から何個も確保してる方々ばかり。
本来は食事が終わって1つ食べて、また食べたかったらおかわりするものではないかと。
最初から欲張る方々ばかりで、一緒に食事するのに嫌悪感感じました。欲張り方が半端ない。
我が子供でさえ最初からデザートは取りません。
そういった外国の方も一緒なのも仕方ないと思うしかありません。
そして添乗員の方が素晴らしい。愛嬌あり、声も可愛く、二ヶ国語がとてもお上手でした。
一番感謝申し上げたいのはドライバーさんです。終始丁寧に乗客の事を考えて下さる運転でした。
山道や、ガタガタ道、坂道、ギアチェンジを感じさせない運転、休憩から帰ると、おかえりなさい、と、必ず声をかけて下さり、当然の事かもしれませんがとても安心して過ごす事が出来ました。
10時間の運転、ありがとうございました。また利用させて頂きたいと思います。

Just by riding the bus, we arrived at the zoo! It was so easy. The bus guide also shared stories at just the right pace, which was enjoyable. We had a 20-minute bathroom break at the service area, which was just right. However, since we arrived at the East Gate (I think the front entrance is crowded), we had to go down from the top of the hill and then climb back up, which was a bit tough.

バスに乗っているだけで、動物園に到着！
楽ちんです　バスガイドさんも適度にお話しをしてくださって楽しかった
SAでトイレ休憩は20分　ちょうどいいです
ただ、到着が東門のため（正面だと混んでいるのだと思いますが）山の上から下に降りて登ってこないといけなくてちょっと大変です

I had a comfortable ride on the new bus, which even had USB outlets. Most importantly, the guide shared various stories throughout the journey, making it both enjoyable and educational. We received a map of the zoo, and the guide provided detailed instructions on how to navigate, so we were able to explore smoothly without getting lost. Since it was a day with fewer group visitors, we could enjoy everything at a leisurely pace, and the three-hour stay was just right. Additionally, I was very grateful for the recommendations for dinner spots in Sapporo.

新車のバスに乗せていただいて快適でした。USBのコンセントもついていました。
何よりも、ガイドさんが車中ずっと色々な話をしてくださったので、退屈もせずとても勉強になりました。
動物園のマップもいただけて、回り方なども詳しく教えてくださったので迷うことなくスムーズに回れました。
団体客が少ない日だったのでどこもゆったりと見ることが出来て、約3時間の滞在はちょうど良かったです。
また、札幌での夕食場所も教えていただけてとても助かりました。

The driver was Japanese, and the tour guide was Chinese. About 70% of the passengers were Chinese, but everyone was well-mannered and the schedule was followed on time. The guide was also polite, and I really enjoyed it.

As for Asahiyama Zoo, entry is from the East Gate instead of the main gate, so it was the opposite of the recommended route, which may have caused a slight delay.

運転手は日本人の方で、添乗員は中国人の方でした。乗客は7割が中国人の方でしたが、皆さんマナーよく時間通りの運行でした。
ガイドも丁寧で、とても楽しめました。

旭山動物園は正門ではなく、東門からの入園になるので、推奨ルートとは逆の回り方になり、少しタイムロスがあったかと思います。

Since my trip was mainly in Sapporo and I didn't rent a car, I really wanted to visit Asahiyama Zoo, so I decided to sign up for a tour this time. I was unfamiliar with Hokkaido and worried about transfers, and since it was summer and hot, being able to take a bus from Sapporo while resting was really comfortable for my body.

I got tired from walking around the zoo, but it was great that I could just sit back and relax on the way back without any worries. I returned right on time without any delays. I look forward to joining another tour the next time I visit Hokkaido.

札幌メインの旅行だったためレンタカーしておらず、どうしても旭山動物園は行きたかったので今回ツアーに申し込むことにしました。北海道は不慣れで乗り換えが心配だったのと夏で暑かったので札幌からバスで寝ながら行けたのはすごく体が楽でした。
動物園で歩き疲れましたが帰りもなんの心配もせずに座ってるだけで帰れたのでとても良かったです。
特に遅れることもなく時間通りに戻れました。また北海道に行く際は何かのツアーでまたよろしくお願いします。

I was worried about the weather, but it turned out to be cloudy and we managed to proceed. Asahiyama Zoo was small and easy to explore, and it was enjoyable. I also enjoyed the Blue Pond.

心配していました天気もなんとか曇りで進みました。旭山動物園はこじんまりとして見学しやすくてたのしかったです。青い池も楽しみました。

The tour on July 19th started with cloudy weather and rain in the forecast. I thought, "This is the worst," as I got on the bus, but our tour guide, Wan, brightened my mood! He was very friendly and kind, and his talks were enjoyable. He always had a smile on his face and worked hard for us without showing any displeasure. Thanks to him, it turned out to be the best tour.

He mentioned that he loves the phrase "ichigo ichie," but I couldn't help but say, "Let's meet again!" The tour itself was a fun experience, but I was very satisfied thanks to Wan. Thank you very much!

7/19日のツアーでしたが朝から曇天で、天気予報では雨。「最悪」と思いながらバスに乗りましたが、そんな気分を晴れにしてくれたのが添乗員のワンさん！　とても気さくで優しくて、トークも楽しかったです。嫌な顔もせずいつも笑顔で、私たちのために一生懸命動いて下さいました。おかげで最高のツアーとなりました。
「一期一会」が大好きな言葉とおっしゃいましたが、私は思わず「また会いましょう！」と言ってしまいました。
ツアー自体も楽しい企画でしたが、ワンさんのおかげで大満足です。本当にありがとうございました。

It was my first bus tour, and thanks to the guide, I was able to hear many interesting stories, which made it very enjoyable! I appreciated the recommendations for souvenirs and meals, as well as learning about various things in Hokkaido. I definitely want to use this service again!

初めてのバスツアーでしたが、ガイドさんのおかげでいろんなお話が聞けてとても楽しかったです♪
おすすめのお土産や食事、北海道のいろんなことが聞けてとても良かったです。
ぜひまた利用させてもらいたいなと思いました！

The tour guide's clear explanations and the driver's safe driving made for a wonderful trip. Thank you very much.

添乗員のわかりやすい説明、並び運転手の運転も安心できて最高の旅になりました。
ありがとうございました。

I wanted to take my time at Asahiyama Zoo, and this product made that possible.

The guide from Chuo Bus was very knowledgeable, and the content was excellent. The driver also prioritized safety, which made me feel secure.

Having only three participants on a large bus felt quite luxurious, but one of the participants disrupted the atmosphere, which was unfortunate for the guide and a bit disappointing. There's nothing we can do about that, but I enjoyed my first visit to Asahiyama Zoo despite the heat.

However, entering from the East Gate and gathering at the West Gate allows for a downhill viewing experience (climbing back up is tough), which I believe is due to parking arrangements.

The guide was very kind. Driving on the mountain roads was a bit scary, but I had a lot of fun experiencing various things in different places.

ガイドの方がとても優しかった。山道の運転は少し怖かったですが、色々な場所で色々な体験ができて、すごく楽しかったです。

I would like to move the departure time one hour earlier and extend the stay at the location to four hours. I couldn't see everything. I want to take my time to see the polar bears and seals.

出発時刻を１時間早め、現地の滞在時間を４時間にしてほしい。全て見ることができなかった。ホッキョクグマやアザラシはゆっくり見たい。

The driving was rough, and the attitude was unfriendly. Even when I said "please" and greeted them, there was silence... I at least wanted them to greet me back. Their outfit looked like casual wear, and since they smoked a cigarette during the break and got back in the vehicle right away, the smell of smoke filled the car. The guide, although not completely fluent in Japanese, did their best to explain, which was nice. The time spent at Asahiyama Zoo was too short, so I think it might be okay to skip the Seven Stars tree.

運転が荒くて、愛想が悪かったです。
お願いしますと挨拶しても、無言…
せめて挨拶くらいはして欲しかった。
服装も普段着みたいな格好で、休憩の際タバコを喫煙されてすぐに乗車されるため、タバコの匂いも充満しました。
ガイドのお兄さんは日本語がまだ完全ではないながらも、一生懸命説明してくださり
よかったです。
旭山動物園の滞在時間が短過ぎてたので、セブンスターの木は、特に省いても良いかなーと思います。

The zoo was nice, but I thought the slopes throughout the park might be tough for the elderly. I think it would be even better if they could allow for a more relaxed schedule. I believe it will be quite sweaty once June arrives. I opted for a plan without lunch, but I had to wait quite a while after buying the meal ticket, so I was cutting it close for lunchtime.

動物園は良かったのですが、園内は坂道ばかりで年寄りにはきついかなと思います。
もう少しゆったり回れる時間配分にしてもらうと更にいいと思います。
６月に入ったら汗だくになると思います。
昼食無しプランにしたのですが、食券を買ってかなり待たされたので昼食時間ギリギリでした。

It was great to see polar bears and seals up close, as well as Giraffe-san. I recommend the soft serve ice cream from the vendor outside the main gate. I was very satisfied to see the Blue Pond and Shiraito Falls.

シロクマやアザラシにきりんさんと近くで見れていいです
正門外の売店のソフトクリームおすすめ
青い池や白糸の滝まで見れて大満足でした

This was my first trip to Hokkaido, so I signed up for this tour. Among the 18 participants, only my husband and I, along with another couple, were Japanese. The foreign participants were also very respectful of manners, making it a very comfortable experience. I was grateful for the attentiveness of both the guide and the driver.

In the hotel lobby where we gathered, there were several other tour guides from the same company, making it difficult to find our tour guide. I had to ask about three people to locate them.

初めての北海道旅行でしたのでこちらのツアーに申し込みしました。
参加者が18名の内日本人は私達夫婦ともう一組のご夫婦だけでした。外国の方もマナーを守っておられてとても快適に参加できまし。
ガイドさんも運転手さんも色々と気を配っていてありがたかったです。

集合場所のホテルロビーで同じ会社の別のツアーガイドさんが何人がいたので参加ツアーのガイドさんを見つけるのが大変で3人ほど声をかけました。
