All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

I participated in this tour with my daughter who lives in Hokkaido. This was my third time in Hokkaido, but it was my first winter visit, so I joined a one-day bus tour. There were many international and Japanese participants, so it ended up being a bus full of Japanese people.

The days before and after were cloudy and snowy, but we had clear skies on this day. I was thrilled to see Mount Yotei, which looked like Mount Fuji. I was told that this is a rare occurrence. Lake Toya and Showa Shinzan were also beautiful.

The bear ranch was just the right size, not too big or too small, and the bears welcomed us from different areas, looking very cute as they begged for bear cookies. Around the time when wild bears wake up from hibernation, half of the bears at the ranch were still asleep.

Hell Valley was also impressive. Finally, we had 90 minutes of shopping at Mitsui Outlet. There were some decent brands inside, and I enjoyed it. The guide was very good at storytelling and shared a lot of information and recommendations about Hokkaido.

I wished I had participated earlier. I would like to join another tour as well.

北海道に住む娘と参加しました。
北海道数回目ですが、冬の北海道初めてでしたのでバス1日観光に参加させて頂きました。
海外の方、日本の方が沢山の利用だったので、日本人だけのバスになってました。
前後の日は曇りや雪で、この日だけ快晴。
羊蹄山が富士山の様に見えて感激でした。
滅多に無い事だそうです。
洞爺湖、昭和新山も綺麗でした。
熊牧場は大きくも小さくも無い丁度良い場所で、何ヶ所に分かれた熊がお出迎えしてくれ、熊クッキーを要求する姿がとても可愛かったです。
野生の熊は冬眠から目覚める頃、熊牧場の熊も半分は寝てました。
地獄谷も圧巻でした。
最後は三井アウトレットで90分お買い物。
室内でまあまあなブランドがあり、楽しめました。
ガイドさんがお話し上手で、色々北海道の事やオススメな事をお話ししてくれました。

もっと早く参加しておけば良かったと思いました。

また違うツアーにも参加したいです。

It was a great tour where we could visit many places in one day, including Lake Toya, the hot spring town, the Bear Ranch and Showa Shinzan, Hell Valley, and the outlet mall. The explanations and additional information were thorough, making the visit enjoyable. Although some sightseeing spots were compact and a bit rushed, I was very satisfied with the amount of sightseeing we could do. Thank you very much. Thank you, attendant O!

洞爺湖→温泉街→クマ牧場と昭和新山→地獄谷→アウトレットなど一日でたくさん回れた良いツアーでした。解説や補足が丁寧で気持ちよく見学できました。コンパクトで少し慌ただしい見学地もありましたがたくさん観光出来て満足度は高いツアーでした。ありがとうございました。搭乗員Oさん、ありがとうございました

Anyway, all the time is tight.
Could we remove one thing? I think it would be better to extend each part by 15 minutes for a more satisfying experience.
Honestly, when I look back on what was fun after the tour, I don't remember much.

とにかく、全ての時間がタイト。
何か一つをぬいて？その分15分ずつ伸ばした方が体験に満足かを話が出ると思う。
ツアーかわ終わった後に、何が楽しかったか振り返ってみてもあんまり覚えてないというのが正直な感想です。

I was able to tour without feeling rushed, and it was very relaxing. The guide's explanations and recommendations were great. The suggested information beforehand was helpful.

バタバタするでもなくゆったりと見学できた。添乗員さんの説明やおすすめも良かったです。あらかじめおすすめ情報は役に立ちました。

I was glad to be able to take my time and look around for three hours. I wish the schedule had been adjusted a bit more since the penguin walk was right at the departure time.

3時間ゆっくり見られてよかったです。
ペンギンの散歩の時間が出発時間ぎりぎりだったのでスケジュールをもうちょっと調整してほしかった。

I was able to make good use of my time in the morning. Shiroi Koibito Park was more fun than I imagined. The guide and driver were also polite and kind. If I have the opportunity, I would like to participate in another course as well.

午前中の時間を有効に使えます
白い恋人パークは想像以上に楽しかった
ガイドさんドライバーさんも
丁寧で親切です。
また、機会があれば別のコースも参加してみたいです。

Hokkaido in winter has many attractive places, but traveling on snowy roads can be very difficult. This tour takes you to the sightseeing spots in Sapporo, so you don't have to drive on snowy roads, which I highly recommend.

冬の北海道、魅力的な場所が多いですが雪道での移動はとても難しいです。このツアーは札幌の観光名所に連れて行ってくれるので雪道での運転をしなくて良いのでおすすめです。

The weather was favorable, and I enjoyed the scenery of Lake Toya and Hell Valley. We arrived at Lake Shikotsu before sunset, and after a while, the Ice Festival venue was illuminated. However, it was still somewhat bright outside when it was time to gather. I was hoping to see the ice formations glowing in the dark, so I felt a bit disappointed.

天候に恵まれ、洞爺湖や地獄谷の景色は楽しめました。日没前に支笏湖着、しばらくして氷濤まつり会場はライトアップされましたが、まだ周囲が薄明るいうちに集合時間となりました。暗い中で浮かび上がるような氷濤を期待していたので、残念に思いました。

The construction went smoothly, but the return bus was like a shared bus, with people who weren't passengers getting on... It's disappointing.

工程は問題なく、帰りのバスが寄り合いバスみたいになっていた、客では無い人が乗ってきたり…。
残念です

I took a round trip by bus from Sapporo to Asahiyama Zoo! It took about three hours one way, but the roads were smooth, and there was a restroom break along the way, making it very comfortable. Once we arrived, we had free time to explore the zoo as we liked, and I got to see the adorable penguin walk! Since it was during a three-day weekend, I brought my lunch and was able to relax and eat it in the break room.

バスで札幌から旭山動物園までバスで往復しました！片道3時間ほどでしたが、道路も順調で、途中トイレ休憩もあり、とても快適でした。現地では自由行動だったので、好きに動物園をみられて、ペンギンのお散歩が見れてとても可愛かったです！三連休中で、お昼は持参して行って休憩室でゆっくり食べられました。

There was about an hour and a half of free time, but to be honest, it was cold (depending on the weather), and the roads were icy, which felt a bit scary after sunset. When I returned about 15 minutes early, there were already about 80% of the people on the bus, so I think the timing was sufficient.

Some restaurants were already closed by around 6 PM. The guide will take you to the entrance gate and distribute the tickets, so it's also an option to head back in the direction you arrived and eat first without entering.

自由散策が1時間半程あったが正直寒いし（気候にも寄るが）道路が凍結してて日没後はチョイ怖い
15分前に戻った際は既に8割位はバスに居たので時間的には十分かと

6時ごろには既に閉まってる飲食店もある
ガイドさんが入場ゲートの前まで案内&入場券の配布するから入場せずに一旦到着した方向に戻って先に食べるのもアリ

There were only two of us Japanese participants, my friend and I, but it was a very smooth and high-quality tour. Most of the participants were punctual with the meeting time when we joined. Both the guide and the driver were friendly and pleasant.

参加した日本人は私とお友人の二人でしたが、非常にスムーズで民度のよいツアーでした。
私たちが参加したときは集合時間もほぼ守れる方ばかりでした。
ガイドさんも運転手さんも気さくで感じが良かったです。

The bus guide shared enjoyable stories about Hokkaido, making the travel time both to and from the destination fun. At Asahiyama Zoo, we were blessed with good weather and had a great time walking slowly up the snowy slopes. I was especially looking forward to the penguin walk, and their adorable appearance did not disappoint. I was surprised by the unexpected size and behavior of the hippos (laughs). It was also a lot of fun to be so close to the animals, including the spotted seal, polar bears, and the muscular arms of the chimpanzees.

バスガイドさんは北海道の話しを楽しくお話ししてくれて往復共に楽しい移動時間でした。旭山動物園は天候にも恵まれ雪の坂道を焦らず歩きながら楽しい時間を過ごせました。楽しみにしていたペンギンの散歩も可愛らしい姿が見れました。予想外のカバの大きさや行動にびっくり（笑）他にもごまふアザラシやしろくまやチンパンジーの筋肉質な腕など動物との距離が近くてとても楽しかったです。

In February, we visited Asahiyama Zoo in the snow, and it was adorable to see the penguin parade. The guide was friendly, and the driver drove safely, which made me feel secure participating in the tour. Asahiyama Zoo has more slopes than I expected, and since the bus stop for group tours is located at the top of a hill, it might be a bit tough for those with weak legs or backs.

2月に雪の中の旭山動物園となりましたが、ペンギンの行進が見られてかわいかったです。
ガイドさんは親切だし、ドライバーさんも安全運転で安心してツアーに参加できました。
旭山動物園は思った以上に坂が多く、団体ツアーのバス乗り場は坂の上にあるので、足腰の弱い方は少しキツイかもしれません。

The day went by in a flash. The guide shared some recommended souvenirs, which was helpful. Unfortunately, at the end, during the Shikotsuko Ice Festival, we didn't have enough time to see the illuminated areas. It was also crowded, and there were long lines everywhere, so there were quite a few places we couldn't see.

１日があっという間でした。
ガイドさんがおススメのお土産など教えて下さったので、参考になりました。
残念だったのは、最後に行った支笏湖氷濤まつりで、時間が短かったので、ライトアップしたところが見えなかった事です。また、混雑していて、どこも並んでいたので、見れない所が結構ありました。　

I participated in this tour to efficiently sightsee in the morning before my departure. Riding the lift at the Okurayama Jump Stadium offered a beautiful view of the cityscape of Sapporo, which was amazing. The height and the thrill were impressive.

After that, I visited the Shiroi Koibito Park to buy souvenirs. I was also able to have lunch at the outdoor market, so I spent my time efficiently. The guide's stories were enjoyable as well.

出発日の午前中を効率良く観光する為に参加しました。
大倉山ジャンプ競技場のリフトに乗ると、札幌な街並みがきれいに見えて、最高でした。高さもあり、迫力がありました。
その後の白い恋人パークでは、お土産購入。場外市場では昼食もとれたので、効率よく過ごせました。
ガイドさんのお話も楽しかったです。

It was really nice that we departed in the afternoon and wrapped up by around 5 PM. Even though we participated in a bus tour, it wasn't a full day, so we were able to enjoy our own time and had a fulfilling day. The way the bus guide spoke, the speed of their speech, and their calm demeanor were all very pleasant and wonderful. The driver also greeted us with a smile, which made us feel at ease and allowed us to participate comfortably.

午後からの出発で、17時台には解散なのが、とてもイイ感じでした。
バスツアーに参加しても、丸１日ではないので、自分達の時間も楽しめて、充実した１日になりました。
バスガイドさんの話し方▪話されるスピード▪落ち着いた感じなど、本当に心地よく素敵でした。
ドライバーの方も笑顔で挨拶して下さり安心して、参加出来ました。

I participated alone! I love visiting geoparks, and I joined this tour because I learned that we would be going to the Usu Volcano and Lake Toya area, which is a UNESCO Global Geopark.

During the free time for lunch, I strolled around Lake Toya and found the Lake Toya Visitor Center nearby. I also stopped by the attached Volcanic Science Museum. Additionally, there was a special corner about the geopark inside the Lake Toya Cultural Center, which had a parking lot, and I found it very interesting to explore.

During the free time at Showa Shinzan, I was able to visit the Usu Volcano Geopark Information Center and the Showa Shinzan Park Service Center. I also made a trip to the Noboribetsu Park Center at Hell Valley, where I was thrilled to experience the grandeur of nature and learn about various information.

This tour is easy to join from Sapporo, and the guide was friendly, making it a very meaningful experience. I highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in exploring geoparks.

1人で参加しました！
私はジオパーク巡りが好きで、今回も世界ジオパークである有珠山・洞爺湖エリアに行けると知り、参加しました。

お昼ご飯の自由時間に洞爺湖周辺を散策していたところ、近くに洞爺湖ビジターセンターがあり、併設の火山科学館にも立ち寄りました。さらに、駐車場のある洞爺湖文化センター内にもジオパークの特集コーナーがあり、とても興味深く見学させていただきました。

昭和新山での自由時間には、有珠山ジオパーク火山村情報館や昭和新山パークサービスセンターにも立ち寄ることができました。また、地獄谷では登別パークセンターにも足を運び、自然の雄大さを肌で感じるとともに、さまざまな情報に触れられたことも嬉しかったです。

札幌から気軽に参加できるツアーで、ガイドさんも気さくな方で、とても有意義な時間を過ごせました。
ジオパーク巡りをしたい方にも、とてもおすすめのツアーです。

I was able to ride comfortably without any fear on the highways and snowy mountain roads from the city. Thank you very much.

市街地から高速、雪の峠道も何一つ怖い思いをせずに、安心して乗車してました。ありがとうございました。

It was a packed schedule, but I'm glad everything went smoothly. The tour guide's explanations were spot on and easy to understand, and the recommended food was delicious.

盛りだくさんのスケジュールでしたが、スムーズに回れてよかったです。
添乗員さんの説明がバッチリでわかりやすくお薦めしてくれた食べ物もおいしかったです。

I visited Okurayama for the first time in 40 years. The snow was deep, and I enjoyed the wonderful scenery. I could see Sapporo in the distance and even recognized the area where the Snow Festival takes place. Winter in Sapporo is the best!

40年ぶりで大倉山に行きました。雪深く、素晴らしい景色を堪能しました。遠くに札幌を一望し、雪まつりの辺りもわかりました。冬の札幌は最高です。

It was a classic course, and the weather was nice, allowing us to have a great time. The veteran guide's explanations were very clear and helpful. This time we took the morning course, but if we had more time, I would have liked to join the afternoon course as well. Thank you for the enjoyable time.

王道コースでしたが、お天気も良く楽しい時間を過ごせました。。
ベテランのガイドさんの話もとてもわかりやすくよかったです。
今回は午前中のコースでしたが、時間があれば午後からのコースも行きたかったです。
楽しい時間をありがとうございました。

We set off amidst a snowstorm forecast, but we arrived as scheduled. The Sunagawa Highway Oasis along the way was full of temptations! Despite the heavy snow, we thoroughly enjoyed nearly three hours at Asahiyama Zoo. It was delightful to see the animals buried in white snow and those seemingly enjoying the snow, and the penguin walk was truly adorable and enjoyable.

On the way back, I think the crew had a really tough time with the highway closures, but they kept us informed about the situation, which made us feel at ease. I also appreciated the unexpected two bathroom breaks along the way.

It was challenging, but I can only express my gratitude for all the thoughtful considerations and responses. Thank you very much!

暴風雪予報の中の出発でしたが行きは予定通り着でした。
途中の砂川ハイウェイオアシスは誘惑がいっぱい🈵です！
大雪の中でしたが３時間近く旭山動物園を堪能しました。白い雪に埋もれている動物や雪を楽しんでいる様な動物、またペンギンのお散歩は本当にかわいらしく楽しめました。
そして帰り道、高速の通行止めやらで乗務員の方本当に大変だったと思いますが、状況を逐一知らせてくださったので安心していました。
途中予定外の2回のトイレ休憩もありがたかったです。
大変でしたがいろいろな気配りと対応に感謝しかありません。ありがとうございました。

First time at Asahiyama Zoo.

It was a long time since I visited a zoo, and I was very moved to see the animals up close. The highlight was the penguin walk, which was great, but what surprised me the most was the hippo. I was amazed by its size when I saw it swimming through the tank!

Also, the tour guide's information was very helpful, and I was able to spend about three hours from Sapporo to Asahikawa without getting bored. Thank you very much.

初めての旭山動物園。
身近で動物が見られて、動物園なんて久々でしたがとても感動しました。
メインはペンギンのお散歩でこれもとてもよかったですが特にびっくりしたのはカバ
水槽越しに泳いでいるところを見てその大きさにびっくり！
また添乗員さんの話もとても参考になり札幌から旭川までの３時間程度、飽きることなく過ごせました。
ありがとうございました。

Maintaining and very well organised. The tour guide was friendly and ensuring that all the members are well taken care of.

I was worried about traffic and the cold, but once I arrived, I quickly forgot about those concerns and was able to enjoy myself. It was an experience that could only be had on this tour.

渋滞や、寒さを警戒していましたが、着くとそんなことはあっという間に忘れて楽しむことができました。
このツアーでしか味わえない体験でした。

Due to heavy snowfall in Sapporo, I decided that individual sightseeing would be difficult, so I signed up for a bus tour that lasted about four hours. At the Okurayama Jump Stadium, which I had wanted to visit, there was a competition that day, and I was able to actually see ski jumping, which was very moving. During the ride, I could listen to the tour guide through headphones, which was also a nice touch. The next time I visit Hokkaido, I think I will try a different bus tour.

札幌市内が大雪で、個人での観光が難しいと判断し、約４時間のバスツアーに申し込みました。行ってみたかった冬の大倉山ジャンプ競技場では、当日大会があったため、実際スキージャンプを見ることができ、大変感動しました。車中では、イヤホンを使い観光案内が聞け、その点も良かったです。今度また北海道を訪れる際は、違うバスツアーに参加してみようと思います。

Visiting Noboribetsu Onsen and Lake Shikotsu during the snowy season can be quite challenging, so this tour was very convenient and great. There were several restroom breaks along the way, making the trip very smooth. The tour guide was kind and helpful, which was also a plus.

登別温泉や支笏湖に行くのは雪が多い季節は大変なのでこのツアーが、とても便利でよかったです。
トイレ休憩も途中で何度かありとてもスムーズでした。
添乗員さんが親切で良かったです。

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to our incredibly kind tour guide, Mr. Yagyu, and our bus driver, Mr. Sudou. Among the approximately 30 participants, there were only four Japanese people, but Mr. Yagyu provided us with attentive guidance, allowing us to enjoy the tour without any inconveniences.

I am especially thankful to Mr. Sudou, as I consulted him about the possibility of the train from Sapporo to New Chitose Airport being canceled due to snow the following day. He took the time to look into the bus routes and the train's operating status, showing genuine concern for our situation.

If there is another opportunity, I would love to meet them again.

最高に親切な添乗員の柳生さんとバスドライバーの須藤さん、大変お世話になりました。
30名程の参加者の中、日本人は4名しか居ませんでしたが、柳生さんは私達日本人にも丁寧にガイドして下さり、お陰様で何の不自由も無くツアーを楽しむ事が出来ました。
ドライバーの須藤さんには、翌日が札幌発新千歳空港行きの電車が雪の為運休になる恐れが有った為相談したところ、親身になってバスでの行き方や電車の運行状況を調べて頂き本当に感謝しております。
次の機会がありましたら是非またお会いしたと思います。

I used this service on a snowy day. Considering that someone with no knowledge of the area would be using public transportation, it was very convenient to be able to ride the bus and listen to the kind and detailed guidance from the tour guide while enjoying the sightseeing from the window.

At Okurayama, I was lucky enough to observe the practice of the ski jumping competition. At Hitsujigaoka, I was able to see the famous Clark statue, which made me very satisfied. The guide was truly professional and provided detailed and careful guidance. For this price and this level of service, I am very satisfied.

大雪の日に利用しました。
まったく土地勘がない人が公共交通機関を利用して刊行することを考えると、バスに乗りガイドさんの親切で丁寧な案内を聴きながら車窓観光できるのは、とっても便利でした。
大倉山では運よくジャンプ競技練習の見学もできました。
羊ケ丘では、有名なクラーク像も見ることができたし大満足です。
ガイドさんが本当にプロで、丁寧に詳細にガイドしてくださいました。
この値段でこの内容だったら大満足です。
