All Reviews for Asahiyama Zoo

The most important thing was that all the activities proceeded safely and on time. The guide, along with many participants from overseas, provided accurate and courteous information during the bus rides to the places we visited. We were able to enjoy a safe and pleasant trip.

全ての行程が、安全に、時間通りに進んだのが一番です。ガイドさんはじめ、参加者は海外の方が多く、私たち日本人は少数でしたが、訪れる場所の車内案内など、的確に丁寧にしてくださいました。安心して楽しい旅ができました。

Traveling by round-trip bus was very enjoyable.
During the bus ride, I was able to learn various information about Hokkaido and the zoo, which made for a very fun time.
I would have been happy if there was a tour that could make it in time for the morning snack time.

Thank you for the wonderful time!

往復バスでの移動は、とても楽でした。
バスの中では、北海道や動物園の情報を色々とお話ししていただけて、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。
できれば、朝のもぐもぐタイムに間に合うツアーもあれば、嬉しいと思いました。

楽しい時間をありがとうございました！

Asahiyama Zoo aside, the Blue Pond and Shiraito Falls were great. The weather was nice, which made the blue of the pond stand out.

旭山動物園もさることながら、青い池と白糸の滝が良かった。
天気が良かったので、池の青さが際立っていました。

The tour guide, Mr. Onodera, was amazing!
His attention to detail was exceptional, and he took care of each person individually.
It was wonderful!
I hope to see you again on another trip somewhere.
Thank you very much.

添乗員の小野寺さん最高でした！
細かい心配りで、1人1人に行き届いていて、
素晴らしかったです！
また、どこかの旅先でお会いできますよーに。
ありがとうございました。

I participated with my fifth-grade grandson. He was really looking forward to his first visit to Asahiyama Zoo. Although it rained, the tour guide provided excellent information, and we were able to move around efficiently, which made us happy to complete our mission. The autumn leaves were beautiful, the bus was impressive, and with a small group, we had a relaxed experience. It was a comfortable trip, but the lunch buffet was disappointing, with few options and mediocre taste.

小学5年の孫一緒に参加。孫は初めての旭山動物園でとても楽しみにしていました。あいにくの雨ではありましたが添乗員さんの詳細情報が素晴らしく効率よくまわれ、ミッションクリアしたと喜んでいました。紅葉も素晴らしく、バスも立派で少人数で、ゆったり。快適な旅でしたが、ただお昼のバイキングは残念で品数も少なく、味もイマイチでした。

This time, I participated in a bus tour during summer vacation. The content of the tour was good, but the lunch buffet I was looking forward to was extremely disappointing. I don't expect high-end ingredients, but I would enjoy it if there were more variety. There were about 20 participants this time, and although there seemed to be enough space on the bus, the seats were narrow and cramped. I thought it would be nice if there was a bit more consideration for that. The return trip to Sapporo took about three hours, and the mountain roads were tough. It would have been better if we had used the expressway earlier to get back a bit faster. I had a good impression from the last tour I participated in to Shakotan and Yoichi, so this time was disappointing.

今回、夏休みを利用しバスツアーに参加しました。ツアーの内容は、良いのですが、楽しみにしていた昼食バイキングの内容が酷く期待はずれでした。高級な食材を望んでいませんが品数が多ければ楽しめます。今回、参加者が20名でバスの席に余裕がある様でしたが、席間が狭く窮屈でした。
もう少し配慮していただけると、良いなと思いました。帰りの札幌迄の時間が3時間程かかり、山道でしんどかったです。早めに高速に使用し少しでも早く帰れたら良かったです。前回、積丹、余市方面のツアーに参加した時のイメージが良かったので、今回は、残念でした。

I felt a bit rushed for time, but because of that, I was able to visit various places and see a lot! The tour guide was also interesting and it was fun. 😊

時間に少し追われる気分でしたが、その分色んなところに行けたし、見ることが出来きました！
添乗員さんも面白くて、楽しかったです☺️

I felt that the zoo was smaller than I expected, but it took about three hours to go around, so it was just right. I visited on a weekday, but there were a lot of middle school students there on a school trip, and it was quite noisy.

思ったより動物園は小さかった気がするが、一回りすると3時間くらいかかるのでちょうどよかった。平日参加したが、中学生が修学旅行でたくさんいてうるさかった。

The guide accompanied us from the meeting point and provided various explanations during the移動中, which made it easy to enjoy sightseeing even in a place I was visiting for the first time. Since the Asahikawa Zoo tour was relatively short at 1.5 hours, I felt that it would have been better to focus on viewing the exhibits closer to the entrance (meeting point) rather than trying to see everything.

集合場所よりガイドさんが同行し、移動中に色々な説明をしてもらったので、初めて訪れる場所でも安心して観光できました。
旭川動物園は1.5時間の短めなツアーだったため、全てを見て回る余裕はありませんでしたので、遠い場所から入口（集合場所）に向かって見学した方が良かったと自分なりに感じました。

It was a bus tour to Asahiyama Zoo, but an hour and a half was surprisingly not enough time.

I think we need to focus on just one activity, like feeding the animals, or else there’s no point in coming here. I would have preferred at least three hours.

I wanted the bus guide to provide necessary information, like what time we would arrive and how to efficiently navigate the zoo. There were times when I confused what was on the left side with the right side while viewing from the bus window, and it felt very unfamiliar.

The stop at the Blue Pond was good.

The buffet was in a large dining hall, but there wasn't anything particularly delicious.

旭山動物園へのバスツアーでしたが、1時間半では想像以上に時間が無さすぎるー

自分達で餌やりなと1つに絞って見ないと、ここへ来た意味がないと思います。
せめて3時間は欲しかったー

バスガイドさんが必要な情報をくれないというか、何時に到着するとか、動物園での効率の良い回り方など、そうゆうのを聞きたかった。
車窓から観覧する際左手にあるものを右手と何度も間違えたり、不慣れ感が半端なかったです。ま

青い池などの工程は良かったです。

バイキングは広い食堂で、これといって美味しいものはないです。

Thank you for your assistance.
The tour guide, Mr. Onodera, was very good. He engaged not only with us but with all the customers, and I felt a warmth from him.
The course was good, but the steep hills at Asahiyama Zoo were tough. It would have been better if we had been informed in advance that there was a shuttle bus to the restaurant from the meeting point.
I was a bit disappointed with lunch. I had high expectations because of the title "Hokkaido Local Buffet," but aside from the Genghis Khan, it was lacking... Considering the tour price, I understand, but I thought the ramen was particularly bad.
In any case, it was great because the tour guide was wonderful.

お世話になりました。
添乗員の小野寺さんがとても良かったです。我々だけでなく、全てのお客様にお声がけしており、温かさを感じました。
コースも良かったですが、旭山動物園の坂道がきつく、途中から集合場所のレストランまでシャトルバスがあったので、その情報を事前にお知らせいただければもっと良かったかな。
昼食は少々がっかりでした。「北海道ご当地バイキング」とのタイトルに期待してしまったせいもありますが、ジンギスカン以外は………。ツアー代金を考えると仕方がないと思いますが、特にラーメンはひどかったと思います。
何にしても、添乗員さんが素晴らしかったので良かったです。

I participated in the bus tour because it was packed with places I wanted to visit. I was a bit disappointed that we didn't have enough time at the zoo to look around leisurely. There were some people who couldn't keep to the schedule, and one person went to the restroom without gathering, which caused delays in our sightseeing time and departure. However, the bus guide provided various explanations, so I had a great time on the bus as well.

行きたい場所が詰まっていたバスツアーだったので参加しました
動物園では時間が少なくゆっくり見れなかったのが少し残念でした
時間を守れない人　集合せず黙ってトイレに行ってしまった人が居たために見学時間や出発が遅れてしまった事もあった
バスガイドさんがいろいろ説明してくれたのでバスの中でも楽しく過ごせました

The guide provided detailed information about the area, so even without prior preparation, I found it very informative and enjoyable. Thank you very much.

ガイドさんが、現地について、詳しくお話しくださったので、予め予習していなくても、いろいろと参考になり、楽しめました。ありがとうございました。

The guide was bilingual, speaking both Japanese and Chinese, which made it feel like we were on an overseas tour, and it was enjoyable. I go to Hokkaido every year, but there are limitations with renting a car, so I would like to see more bus tours offered.

ガイドさんが日本語の方と中国語英語の方と二人いてこちらが海外のツアーに行ったようで楽しかった。北海道も毎年行ってるがレンタカーでは限界があるのでバスツアーを増やして欲しい。

When you go on your own, the area is so vast that you can only visit one place in a day, but with a bus tour, you can visit many sightseeing spots and it was enjoyable. The all-you-can-eat melon was a big hit with the kids and created great memories.

自分で回ると広すぎて1日1カ所しか行けないですが、バスツアーだと観光地を沢山回れて楽しかってす。
メロンの食べ放題では子供が大喜びでいい思い出になりました。

The itinerary is compact and includes all the places you want to visit. I recommend the bus tour because the guide and driver will tell you about the highlights, which is more informative than renting a car on your own. The guide and driver were very friendly and took photos for us, creating great memories.

プランも行きたいところをギュッと凝縮してあり、個人でレンタカーを借りて行くよりもガイドさんと運転手さんが見どころなど教えてくれるので、バスツアーをお勧めします。
ガイドさんと運転手さんはとても気さくに話しかけてくださり、写真を撮っていただいたりと良い思い出になりました。

The food was not good.
Perhaps because there are many foreign guests, the announcements were just loud.
It was noisy inside the vehicle.
The meals should be reconsidered.

ご飯美味しくなかった
海外客が多いからか案内もただうるさい
車内もうるさかった
食事は考えるべき

I went to Asahiyama Zoo. After 90 minutes, I felt rushed and hurried to see everything. I wished I could have taken my time a bit more, so it felt a bit unsatisfying. However, the guide taught us an efficient way to see the zoo, so I was able to see almost everything.

At the lunch buffet, I was able to grill my own lamb. I was able to take some really nice photos at the Blue Pond and Shirahige Falls.

旭山動物園へいきました。９０分たったので大急ぎで見る感じで慌ただしく見る感じでした
もうちょっとゆっくりみたかったかなというものたりなさでした。でもガイドさんが効率の良い見方をおしえてくれたのでほぼみることができました
ランチバイキングは自分でジンギスカンをやくことができました
青い池、白ひげの滝はとてもいい写真がとることができました

It was not just a means of transportation; I learned a lot about Hokkaido from the bus guide. I was able to enjoy my time on the bus without getting bored. I would like to participate again!

単なる移動手段ではなく、バスガイドさんから北海道のお話をたくさん聞くことが出来て大変勉強になりました。バスの中でも飽きることなく楽しく過ごせました。また参加したいです！

I understood that there would be some time constraints on the bus tour, but 90 minutes at Asahiyama Zoo was too short.

The animals are not always in easily visible spots, so while we were searching for them, time kept slipping away, and there were animals we couldn't see, which left the kids feeling disappointed.

The all-you-can-eat melon was delicious!

バスツアーなので、ある程度時間制限がある中で楽しまないといけないのはわかってはいましたが、
旭山動物園の９０分は短すぎました。

動物も常に見やすいところにいる訳ではないので、「どこ？どこ？？」と探してるうちにどんどん時間がなくなってきて、見られなかった動物もあり、子どもたちは残念そうでした。

メロンの食べ放題は美味しかったです♪

It was my first time taking the bus and I didn't know the location. The kind bus staff helped me! I felt at ease. The bus was cool, and it was a good trip.

初めてのバス乗りで場所わからないでした。親切なバスのかたまでくれて！安心でした。バスも涼しいくて、良い旅でした

I participated on Tanabata Day, July 7th. The guide, Mr. Isobe, a true Hokkaido native, shared enjoyable and very informative stories. His calm voice was also pleasant to listen to. With nearly 30 years of experience, his professionalism was truly refreshing. Driver Takahashi was also kind. I was impressed by the way he talked about the cat at Iwase Farm, expressing sympathy when it was startled by the bus engine. It was my first time at Asahiyama Zoo, and I found the animals to be very close, allowing for great photos even without a telephoto lens. It was a fun trip.

7/7の七夕の日に参加
ガイドの磯部さん、生粋の道産子さんの話は楽しく、とても参考になりました。
また、静かな声で声もいい。
30年近くのキャリアでいらっしゃると思いますが、プロの仕事ぶりはそれは気持ちのいいものでした。
高橋ドライバー、この方も優しいのです。
岩瀬牧場にいた猫が、バスのエンジンをかけて驚いた時に、それは可哀想なことをしたなぁと話している姿が印象的でした。
旭川動物園も初めてでしたが、動物との距離がとても近く、望遠レンズではなくても写真が取れました。楽しい旅となりました。

Thank you very much.
Both the guide and the driver were friendly and engaging!
It was enjoyable not only as a sightseeing tour but also for connecting people from Japan and abroad.
Making new friends became one of the highlights of the tour.

ありがとうございました
ガイドさんも運転手さんも気さくに話をしてくれました！
観光ガイドだけでなく、日本と海外の方、人と人も繋いでくれて楽しかったです。
新しい友達ができるのもツアーの楽しみの一つになりました。

Since it was my first time in Hokkaido and I couldn't drive, I used this tour. I'm glad I was able to visit places like the Blue Pond and waterfalls that I definitely wouldn't have been able to reach on my own.

北海道には、初めてきたのと車が運転できないのでこちらのツアーを利用しました
青い池や滝など自力では、絶対にいけないところに行けて良かったです

It was indicated that there was no guide, but there was one. The conversation was enjoyable.
The Herb Garden Furano did not have a herb garden; it was just a drive-in with food and a souvenir shop.

ガイドはないとの表示でしたが、ありました。話は楽しかったです。
ハーブガーデン富良野は
ハーブガーデンは無くて
食事とお土産やさんだけのドライブインでした。

Hello~
It was a bit too packed and tiring.
The lunch buffet was hectic, and there were too few dishes that suited my taste.
There shouldn't be breaks every 10 minutes.

Finally, the crew instructed us to put our trash in the trash cans at the service area.
It felt like they were saying that. I didn't comply, but they were specifying where to throw it away.
I'll be contacting the highway corporation; this is the worst.

こんにちは〜
チョット詰め込みすぎて疲れる
昼のビュッフェランチが忙しなくて
食べる料理が少なすぎて口に合わない、
休憩も10分刻みはないだろう、

最後に乗務員がゴミはサービスエリアの
ゴミ箱に入れてくれと指示してた、
言ってる様な感じでした，私は従わなかったが
ゴミ箱の位置まで指定して捨てさせてた、
道路公団に連絡してきますね、最悪

Since it was my first time participating from Kyushu, I was really worried about the weather in Hokkaido. As expected, it was colder than I thought, and I felt chilly in short sleeves, so I ended up wearing a jacket. The forecast didn't predict any rain, so I didn't bring an umbrella, but it actually drizzled a bit, which made me anxious. Having a folding umbrella and a compact jacket is definitely not a burden, and it's better than regretting being cold.

I thought that the photo spots were places I would never go to if I were using my own car instead of a bus tour, so that's one of the great things about the bus tour! The guide was experienced, so I was impressed by how they said things like, "I recommend this here," or "The restroom over there is busier than this one." They provided great tips, like when it's best to use the restroom and that it’s better to hold off on snacks for now. I think those insights are skills that only a veteran can provide. I had no complaints other than the meals, so I would love to talk with this guide again. Thank you very much!

九州から初参加だった為、北海道の天気がどんな感じか本当に不安でした。案の定思ったより寒くて、半袖では寒く上着を着て過ごしました。雨も予報にはなかったので持って行ってなかったら、実際少しパラついててヒヤヒヤしました。折り畳み傘とコンパクトに出来る上着はあって困る物ではないし、寒くて後悔するよりマシです。
写真撮影する場所はバスツアーじゃなくて自家用車だったら絶対行かない場所だったよなーって思ったので、それはバスツアーのいい所ですね！ガイドさんも慣れてる方だったので、「ここではこういう物がオススメです」とか「そっちよりこっちのトイレの方が混まないです」とか慣れてるのが凄い！と思いました。どのタイミングで絶対トイレに行っておくといいとか、今はまだオヤツで我慢しておくべきとか、案外言われないと気付かない点は、ベテランさんじゃないと出来ない技なのかなと思います。食事以外に不満はないので、このガイドさんならまたお話ししたいと思いました。本当に有難う御座いました！

I thoroughly enjoyed my first trip to Hokkaido.
The fields and rice paddies stretched as far as the eye could see, along with the mountains.
"I really felt like I had come to Hokkaido."
Thanks to the many informative stories from our guide, I was able to spend the two and a half hour journey without feeling bored.
The driving was safe and comfortable as well.
I made wonderful memories at this price.
Thank you! 😊

初めて北海道の旅を満喫しました
どこまでも遠くまで見渡す畑と田んぼ
そして山々が
「あー　本当に北海道に来たんだと思いました」
ガイドさんのためになるお話の数々のお陰で
片道２時間半もの間も　退屈なく過ごせました
運転も安全運転で快適でした
このお値段で満喫できてとても良い思い出が出来ました
ありがとうございます(^-^)

アレックス、私たちのツアーガイドは素晴らしかったです！彼は参加者全員にとても気を配り、私たちのツアーコースに関連する話は非常に興味深く、役に立ちました。訪れたすべてのスポットは忘れられないものでした！！

Alex, our tour guide, was excellent! He cared about all the participants so much, and his talk related to our tour course was very interesting and helpful. All the spots we visited was unforgettable!!

I had a great time from start to finish! The zoo visit lasts 90 minutes, but since it's quite large, if you take your time to look around, you might find yourself running close on time.

The buffet at the herb garden doesn't have a wide variety, but it does include Genghis Khan, which I think is sufficient for a light lunch.

The Blue Pond and Shirahige Falls are breathtaking, especially the Blue Pond, which looks beautifully blue when it's sunny. The guide was wonderful as well. They provided clear explanations in both Japanese and Chinese, and they were friendly and accommodating throughout, making for an enjoyable experience.

I was able to fully enjoy the great nature of Hokkaido in just one day, and I am very satisfied.

終始楽しめました！盛りだくさんの内容で、動物園は90分ですが、広いのでゆっくり見ていたら結構時間ギリギリになります。
ハーブガーデンのバイキングは種類はそんなにないですが、ジンギスカンもあり、軽めの昼食には十分かと思います。
青い池と白ひげの滝は絶景、特に青い池は、晴れていると綺麗に青く見えるので、とても良いです。そしてガイドさんが素晴らしい。日本語と中国語で説明もわかりやすく、笑顔で最後までご対応いただき、楽しい時間となりました。
北海道の大自然を1日で堪能でき、満足です。
