To be honest, it wasn't very enjoyable. It was my first time at Lake Toya, but after going once, I felt like that was enough. I personally had high hopes for the Ice Festival, but it was more subdued than I expected. Since it didn't look very beautiful at the time I went, it might have been better to join a tour that takes place during darker hours.
I thought the fee for the Ice Festival was included in the tour price, but it turned out to be a pay-on-site situation (even for those who paid in advance, they needed to show a voucher on-site). I overlooked that detail, so I was glad to understand it after hearing the explanation in the vehicle. However, I noticed some fellow passengers (Japanese) from the same bus entering without going through the ticket booth. Since I learned that payment was required in advance, I suspect that other tour booking sites besides Veltra probably don't collect the Ice Festival fee beforehand either, and I felt uncomfortable seeing that passenger enter without paying.
In this day and age, there are foreigners everywhere you go. Please don't take too seriously the reviews mentioning that the bus was noisy; that's just a matter of chance. I think it should be fine for those who don't mind crowds. However, it's safer to avoid weekends and holidays.
The guide was fluent in multiple languages and provided thorough explanations. Thank you to the driver and the guide for your hard work in the cold and snowy weather.
正直言ってあまり楽しくなかった。
洞爺湖以外は初めてでしたが、一回行ったらもういいかなと感じました。
個人的に氷濤まつりに期待していましたが思ったより地味でした。
時間帯的にあまり綺麗に見えなかったので、暗い時間に行われているツアーの方が良かったかも。
氷濤まつりの代金がツアー代金に含まれてるのかと思いきや、現地払い(先払いの人も、現地でパウチャーを見せる必要があるとのこと)でした。
そこを見落としてたので車内で説明を聞いて分かって良かったのですが、明らかにチケット売り場を通さずに入場していく同じバスの同乗客(日本人)を見かけました。
先払いというのを知ったのでVeltraさん以外のツアー予約サイトでもおそらく氷濤まつりの代金は事前に取ってないと思いますが、その客は無銭入場ではないかと感じ、見てて不愉快でした。
このご時世なのでどこ行っても外国人だらけです。他の方の口コミにあるバスの中がうるさいとかは、ガチャ要素なのであまり信じないで下さい。
人混みが嫌いでない人なら大丈夫かと思います。なお、週末と祝日は避けた方が無難です。
ガイドさんは複数の言語を流暢にこなしていて、説明も丁寧でした。
運転手さん、ガイドさん、寒くて吹雪いてる中大変お疲れ様でした。
洞爺湖温泉の自由昼食は事前に営業時間と場所を調べるのと、候補を複数決めることをおすすめします。また、店内に入ったら提供までにどれくらいかかるか聞くこともおすすめします。

This time, since there were only a few of us, we were taken in a van by the guide who also drove.
Because there were only a few people, the gathering was very organized, and the timetable was spot on.
The one-star deduction is because the van was cramped with so many people. I wish they had at least used a microbus... that's the reason for the deduction.
今回は少人数だったのでバンの車で、添乗員兼運転手の方が連れて行ってくれました。
少人数なので、集合もキッチリしていて、タイムテーブルはバッチリでした。
星一つの減点は、車の人数がギチギチだったので窮屈でした。
せめてマイクロバスとかにしてほしかったな…の減点です。
The free lunch in Otaru is really crowded and expensive. I brought bread from Sapporo, but it might be better to come up with something different for lunch.
小樽での自由昼食は本当に混んでますし、高いです。
自分は札幌からパンを持参して行ったのですが、お昼だけは工夫した方がいいかもです。

The tour departed fully booked with two buses, and the tour guide provided explanations in both Japanese and English alternately. There were fewer foreign participants than expected, estimated to be around 20-30%. The one-way trip took an hour and a half, and the atmosphere on the bus was quiet, allowing for a relaxed experience. Lake Shikotsu was quite cold with a chilly wind, significantly colder than Sapporo, and I managed to cope by using a heat pack. The objects frozen by spraying lake water with a sprinkler were illuminated, creating a fantastical scene, and my wife remarked that she was more moved by this than by the Snow Festival. On the way back, we arrived 20 minutes earlier than scheduled, possibly due to lighter traffic.
ツアーはバス2台で満席で出発、添乗員さんが日本語と英語で交互に説明してくれる。外国の方は予想より少なく、みた感じで2、3割程度と思われ、片道1時間半、バスの中は静かで気持ち的にゆっくり過ごせる。支笏湖は風が冷たく札幌よりかなり寒く、カイロを貼ってなんとかすごす。湖水をスプリンクラーで吹き付け凍らせたオブジェは、ライトアップされ幻想的で、妻は雪まつりよりも感動したとつぶやく。帰りは道がすいていたのか予定より20分も早く着く。

First and foremost, I felt reassured. They safely took us from Sapporo to the frozen snowy roads of Lake Shikotsu. It was a mountain path that I definitely couldn't have navigated on my own. Then, when I suddenly saw the vast Lake Shikotsu, it was breathtaking. While feeling the cold wind from Lake Shikotsu, a world of ice awaited us. The ice mountains, caves, and ice pillars, along with beautifully lit sculptures, were truly moving. It became a wonderful page in my Hokkaido travel experience. Thank you very much.

I felt安心 knowing there was a tour guide with us. The local winds were stronger than I imagined, but it wasn't too bad once we left the lake. I wanted to visit the souvenir shops lined up in the woods, but with only an hour and a half to stay, I barely had time for sightseeing and a restroom break. I thought it was a shame that we couldn't depart at 1 or 2 PM instead of 3 PM, as we could have enjoyed some tea and bought souvenirs then. I really appreciated the help since I couldn't have driven there myself. Thank you for the wonderful plan. If there’s a tour for Lake Toya, I would love to join!
添乗員さんが付いていますから安心できました。現地は想像以上の強風でしたが、湖をはなれるとそれほどでも無かったです。林間に並ぶお土産やさんに立ち入りたかったけれど、滞在時間1時間半では、見学とトイレで精一杯。3時出発ではなく1時間や2時の出発なら、現地でお茶をしたりお土産も買えるのに残念と思いました。自分で運転してはとても行かれないので、非常に助かりました。素敵な企画を有り難うごさいます。あるなら洞爺湖ツアーも参加したいです。

I wasn't confident about driving in Sapporo during winter, and taking public transportation seemed challenging, so I decided to sign up for a bus tour. The meeting point was close to Sapporo Station and easy to find.
As for the Ice Festival, it was wonderful. I was able to enjoy both the twilight before sunset and the illumination afterwards. Since it was a holiday on the first day of the festival, it was extremely crowded, and it took a while to get into the parking lot, with long lines inside the venue as well, but I had a great time!
I also recommend that if you have extra time, you can return to the bus early.

The ice sculptures were very beautiful and enjoyable! In addition to the stunning ice sculptures, there were observation decks to climb, a corner where you could roast marshmallows inside the ice structures, and a corner that resembled an ice café. I thought it was a unique experience that can only be had during this season. I was worried about the cold, but I didn't feel it too much, perhaps because I was dressed warmly. It might also have been thanks to the lack of wind. However, it was disappointing that there were too many people on the first Saturday of the event, so I couldn't fully enjoy it. There were long lines, and due to the scheduled meeting times, there were some monuments we couldn't enter. For those who want to see everything thoroughly, I think there wasn't enough time. Because it was crowded, there was a waiting time while the guide arranged the tickets, and I felt that time was wasted.
氷像がとても綺麗で楽しめました!綺麗な氷像の他、登って楽しめる展望台や、氷の建造物の中でマシュマロを焼けるコーナーや氷のカフェのようなコーナーもあり、この季節にしかできないユニークな体験だと思いました。心配していた寒さも着込んでいたせいか然程感じませんでした。風があんまりなかったおかげかもしれません。ただ、開催初日の土曜日ということで人が多すぎてじっくり楽しめなかったのが残念です。長蛇の列ができており、集合時間の関係で中に入れないモニュメントもありました。全てをしっかり見て回りたい人にとっては時間が足りないと思います。混雑していたせいでガイドさんがチケットを手配する間に待ち時間が発生していたのでその時間がもったいなかったなと感じました。

I participated in a tour during the Spring Festival. There were probably only four Japanese people, and the rest were likely all Chinese. The tour guide was also a Chinese person who had been in Japan for two years. Anyway, the group was not punctual at all; we started late, and my concerns about the rest of the trip were confirmed as delays continued. A 10-minute delay was the norm. The only time we were on schedule was for the last restroom break at the service area. I felt sorry for the tour guide, who was anxious every time.

Sapporo in the snow. Still, the weather was clear on the day, perfect for sightseeing. My little trip began while gazing at the front of the Hokkaido Government Office. We passed by Hokkaido Shrine and the Okurayama Jump Stadium. When we took the lift up, the view of the beautiful snowy landscape was breathtaking. There was also the Sapporo Olympic Museum. I was happy to visit Shiroi Koibito Park, which I had wanted to see. Finally, at the outer market, I enjoyed a melon and a seafood bowl. The bus I used was equipped with power outlets, which was a great help since I was worried about charging my smartphone.

Overall, it was a trip that left little impression. It might be suitable for buying lots of souvenirs. I ended up buying a lot of souvenirs, including a horse placenta cream for about 5,000 yen for my mother-in-law and relatives, all because of the guide's voice saying, "You can only buy this here!"
At the bear ranch, we threw biscuits at the bears below (who seemed bored and didn't eat them), and it was the most boring place where I couldn't really tell what I was looking at.
When the guide started saying, "This bear beauty cream can only be bought here!" I began to wonder if the guide was getting a commission from it.
At Hell Valley, we walked through the sulfur smell, but in the end, there wasn't much to see. The outlet was just average...
In any case, I do not recommend this tour and would like a reconsideration of the route. I don't regret it, but I won't go again. I wonder if it was because my husband is a foreigner that we ended up on the English tour? There were many people of Asian and Indian descent, and it's a mystery whether they were satisfied.

There was a Chinese tourist who lost their wallet and passport, but a local Chinese guide from Sapporo, who was in a hurry, found them and handed them back.

In mid-January, I participated in this bus tour, and out of 47 people on the bus, 40 were from China. Each time we departed from different locations, there was about a minute of explanation in Japanese, but afterwards, the conversation continued in Chinese for 20-30 minutes. It created quite an alien atmosphere, and I constantly felt out of place on the bus. If this is such a foreigner-oriented tour, I would have appreciated being informed of this in advance as a precaution.
Additionally, outside the bus, I experienced behaviors such as people cutting in line and persistently pushing to get ahead during the lineup, which even caused some people to fall.
Throughout the tour, I often felt anxious and disappointed, but the personality of the driver and the guide was very good, and it was nice that they generally adhered to the scheduled departure times.
1月中旬こちらのバスツアーに参加し、バス車内47人中40名が中国の方でした。
各地出発の度に1分程度日本語で説明がありますが、その後は20-30分ほど中国語でのお話が続きます。かなりアウェイな雰囲気で、車内では常に肩身の狭い思いをしました。
これほど外国人向けツアーであるならば、注意事項として事前に教えていただきたく思いました。
また、車外でも列に割り込む、整列時も前に入るため執拗に押す等の行為を受け、転ぶ人が出るほどでした。
終始心細く残念な気持ちになることが多かったですが、運転手さんやガイドさんのお人柄は非常によく、基本的に定刻出発が守られており気持ちがよかったです。
The tour content is satisfactory, but please note that there are basically no guides available for Japanese speakers.
ツアー内容は満足できますが、日本人向けのガイドは基本ありませんのでご注意ください。

Sapporo, our departure point, had little snow, but Asahiyama Zoo was a winter wonderland at -6 degrees, truly representing Hokkaido! Although it was a freezing world, as long as you dress warmly, the cold is not bothersome. The zoo was a place where I could watch the active animals for hours. We had just over three hours there, but it flew by as we ate and browsed for souvenirs. For those with children, it's best to start with the must-see attractions! The kids' snow play can slow you down quite a bit. The polar bears and seals are located on the opposite side from the main entrance, so it takes time to get there. The return trip on the highway was exhausting due to many road closures, taking nearly five hours, but I'm grateful for being safely delivered on the snowy roads without any accidents.
出発地の札幌は雪が少なかったんですが、旭山動物園は雪で-6度、これぞ北海道!!という天候でよかったです。マイナスの世界ですがきちんと防寒すれば気にならない寒さでした。動物園も活発な動物の動きに何時間でもみていたい場所でした。3時間ちょっと滞在時間はありましたが、ごはんを食べたりおみやげを見たりしているとあっという間でした。子供がいる方はこれは絶対見たい!ってところから回るといいです。子供の雪遊びでなかなか前に進めません。しろくまやアザラシは団体入口とは正反対の場所にいるので行くのに時間がかかります。
帰りの高速道路は通行止めが多く5時間近くかかり疲れましたが、事故なく雪道を安全に送り届けてくれたことに感謝です。
I was thinking of buying lunch at the rest stop on the way, but they didn't sell rice balls or bread, so I recommend purchasing something in advance if you want to have a quick meal.
行きの休憩場所でお昼ごはんを買おうかなと思っていたのですが、おにぎりとかパンは売っていなかったのでパパッと昼食を済ませたい方は事前に購入しておくことをお勧めします。

Winter is cold and tough for humans, but the animals are very lively and full of energy, which was a lot of fun. I recommend winter over summer!
冬は寒くて人間は大変ですが、動物達はとても元気で生き生きしていて、とても楽しかったです。私は夏より冬がおすすめです!

We booked a bus tour with minimal travel burden for our first trip to Hokkaido with kids, and it was definitely the right choice!
What impressed me the most was the bus guide's stories about Hokkaido's history and culture during the journey. I learned so many things I didn't know, and it was truly an enjoyable time! I fell even more in love with Hokkaido!
The driver's skills were excellent, and we arrived at our destination without feeling sick! It was the best tour!
子連れで初めての北海道、しかも冬ということで、移動負担の少ないバスツアーを申し込みましたが、大正解でした!
そして何より感動したのが、移動中のバスガイドさんの北海道の歴史や文化のお話です。知らなかったことを色々と聞けて、本当に楽しい時間でした!北海道が一層好きになりました!
運転手さんの運転もお上手で、酔わずに目的地まで着けました!最高のツアーでした!

I visited two tourist spots, and I think it would be quite difficult to get there by renting a car or using public transportation since the attractions are located on a high hill and there was a lot of snow. It was really great to be taken to the landmarks easily by bus, and the tour content was surprisingly fulfilling.
During the bus ride, there were explanations about the city's attractions through the intercom, making it more than just a two-birds-with-one-stone experience.
I was moved when I took the lift up to the starting point of the jump and saw the actual height. This is a feeling that only those who have seen it can understand.
I also got to see the statue of Dr. Clark, and I was truly satisfied with the tour.
The guide and the bus driver were both very pleasant, which made me feel secure participating in the tour.
二箇所の観光でしたが、自分で自動車を
レンタルしたり、交通機関で行くとすれば、、
観光地が高台にあり雪も積もっていて、なかなか難しいかと思います。
楽に名所をバスで連れて行ってもらえた上に、ツアー内容が以外と充実で本当に良いツアーでした。
バス途中ではインカムで市内の名所の説明もあり、、一石二鳥以上の観光でした。
ジャンプの出発地点まで、リフトで上がって実際の高さを目にして感動を覚えました。これは見た人でないと分からない感動です。
クラーク博士の銅像も観れて、
本当に参加して満足のツアーです。
ガイドさんやバスの運転手さんも感じが良くて、安心して参画できました。

I was attracted to the direct access to Asahiyama Zoo and signed up. The price was reasonable, and we had a bus guide who provided commentary only during the journey. This bus guide had a nice, relaxed vibe. I was satisfied.
直で旭山動物園へ行けるのが魅力で申し込み。
価格も安く、バスガイドさんがついてくれ、移動中だけガイドしてくださる。このバスガイドさんがいい感じに緩い笑

The places we visited were mediocre, and the bus guide was yelling, so I couldn't enjoy it at all.
The only positive impression was the driver, who kindly said goodbye to each of us every time.

Considering how much you can do, it's an incredible deal! We stopped by Mushroom Kingdom before lunch, and since we were there, we tried the premium mushroom soup! The lunch seemed a bit lacking for men, so if you can eat, it might be a good idea to have something beforehand. The course to fully enjoy nature was truly the best!
こんなに回れることを考えると破格です!
きのこ王国は昼食前に寄りますが、せっかくなのでプレミアムきのこ汁を頂きました!
昼食が男性だと物足りなさそうな感じだったので、食べれる方は食べといてもいいかもです⭐︎
大自然満喫のコース本当に最高でした♩
If you tend to need the restroom frequently during cold weather, it might be a good idea to make some adjustments since the intervals between service areas can be long! Haha
寒い時期トイレが近い方は、SA間の感覚が長い時もあるので色々調整するといいかもしれません!笑

The bus guide shared various stories about Hokkaido, which was both educational and enjoyable. It was great to see the winter version of Asahiyama Zoo's animals. Since it was my second visit, I was able to read the exhibits that I couldn't read last time at a leisurely pace. There was also plenty of time, allowing us to enjoy everything without feeling rushed. I was very satisfied to be able to eat delicious food at the rest area as well.

The bus tour in sub-zero temperatures was completely different from other seasons, allowing us to enjoy the scenery and food unique to the cold period. There were many foreigners, but as a local, I also had a great time. Both Mount Usu and Showa Shinzan are representative volcanoes of Hokkaido, and the winter scenery was breathtaking.
氷点下というなかでのバスツアーは、他の季節とはまったく違っていて、寒い時期だからこその景色や食を楽しめました。外国人が多かったですが、地元民である私も存分に楽しめました。有珠山も昭和新山も北海道を代表する火山ですが、冬景色は圧巻でした。
As long as you have the desire to enjoy, nothing else matters!

There were many Chinese tourists, and the tour guide spent quite a bit of time explaining about tax-free shopping and manners. The guide didn't seem to have much knowledge about the sightseeing points, and it felt more like a translator for the Chinese tourists rather than a tour guide.
In the Toyako Onsen area, there were few places to have lunch, and I ended up being a lunch refugee.
If you think of it as a tour that conveniently and efficiently takes you to sightseeing spots without any expectations, it is a satisfactory tour.
中国人観光客が多く、添乗員は免税、マナーについてかなり時間をとって説明していました。観光先のポイントに関しての知識があまりなく、観光ガイドさんではなく中国人観光客の通訳って感じでした。
洞爺湖温泉街はランチの取れる店が少なく、ランチ難民となりました。
何も期待せず便利で効率よく観光スポットに連れてってもらえると考えれば、納得できるツアーです。
For lunch in the Toyako Onsen area, you can grab something at a convenience store, but if you don't plan to visit the bear ranch at Showa Shinzan next, you can enjoy a leisurely lunch at a warm diner.
洞爺湖温泉街のランチはコンビニで済ませ、次の昭和新山では熊牧場へ行かない場合は、ゆっくり温かい食堂でランチできます

It was my first time on a bus tour in Hokkaido, and I was surprised that about 80% of the participants were of Chinese descent. The guide was also from China, but they spoke Japanese as well, so I was able to enjoy the tour. I wouldn't have been able to visit so many places on my own, so it was great.
北海道のバスツアーは初めてでしたが、おそらく8割のかたが中華系の方でびっくりしました。ガイドさんも中国の方でしたが日本語もお話しされていたので楽しく参加することができました。一人ではこれほどの場所を巡ることはできないのでよかったです。
In winter, it was so cold that I had to make sure to keep warm with things like hot packs, even on the bus.
