All Reviews for Bus Tours

I wanted to go see the Blue Pond, but it was difficult to plan using public transportation, so I joined this tour. The time spent on the bus was quite long, but thanks to the good weather, all the destinations set for us were wonderful, and I was able to fully enjoy the nature of Hokkaido. Since everywhere was spacious, I felt a bit short on time, but I think it was just right since returning too late would have been tiring as well.

青い池を見に行きたかったのですが、公共交通機関で予定をたてるのが大変だったのでこちらのツアーに参加させてもらいました。バスに揺られている時間はとても長かったですが、天気に恵まれたこともありますが設定されていた目的地はどこも素晴らしく、北海道の自然を満喫できました。どこも広かったので時間が少し足りなかったですが、これ以上帰りが遅くなるのもまた疲れてしまうのでちょうど良かったのかなと思います。

Arriving at the top of the ropeway, you reach the observation deck after a slight uphill path, and I was moved by the wonderful 360-degree view! Please be sure to participate and experience it for yourself!

ロープウェイの頂上到着、少し坂道になり展望台に到着しますと
360度見渡す限り素晴しい眺望で感動しました！
是非、参加して体験してみてください！　

The price is affordable for a tour that goes to various places. The tour guide's explanations were on par with a professional guide. The duration of stay at each location was appropriate. The total duration of the tour was also just right.

色々な場所へ行くツアーとしては価格は安い
添乗員の解説がガイド並みだった
それぞれの場所の滞在時間が適切だった
ツアーのトータル時間もほど良かった

I was able to efficiently travel around various places using the expressway, and I enjoyed it. Both the driver and the guide were very pleasant. The meals were delicious, and the views were great.
I thought it would have been nice to receive a simple itinerary upon boarding.

高速を利用して各地を効率良く廻ってくれてな楽しめた。運転手さんもガイドさんもとても感じ良かった。食事も美味しく眺めも良かった。
　乗車の際簡単な日程表が貰えると良かったなと思う。

In the morning, when I arrived at the meeting place, there was a different atmosphere than usual. When I got on the designated bus, there were not only Japanese people but also Asians and Westerners. The guide was a 30-year-old Taiwanese who provided fluent explanations in Japanese, English, and Chinese. I couldn't help but applaud. There were also British, Indian, and Lithuanian people on board. Kamui Cape, Otaru, and Shiroi Koibito Park were all great, and I felt like I had an experience similar to an overseas tour within Japan.

朝、集合場所に行くといつもと違う雰囲気
指定されたバスに乗ると，日本人の他にもアジア系，欧米系が乗り合わせ来た
ガイドは30才の台湾人で日本語，英語，中国語で流暢な説明をした。思わず拍手をした。イギリス人、インド人やリトアニア人もいた。
神威岬も小樽も白い恋人パークも良かったが，国内で海外ツアーのような経験ができた

Cape Kamoi, famous for its strong winds, had no wind today, with a clear blue sky and refreshing blue sea. The sunshine felt like summer, making it perfect weather for walking. The mint mix soft serve was delicious too. There were many visitors from abroad, and it must have been tough for the tour guide to explain in three languages. Thank you for your hard work!

強風で有名な神威岬ですが

お疲れ様でした

About half of the participants were from overseas, mostly from China. I was a bit anxious since there were few Japanese people, but the conductor was Chinese and strictly enforced the schedule and rules, allowing us to enjoy a comfortable ride without any delays.

The Shakotan Peninsula was unexpectedly hot with no wind, so an umbrella was necessary. There were explanations of recommended spots at various locations, and I think we were able to enjoy it efficiently in a short amount of time.

One disappointing point was that we couldn't take photos while driving past the famous warehouses in Otaru. The bus was faster than expected, and the announcement came just in time, so I couldn't get my camera out in time. It was also quite a distance from the meeting point, so I gave up on going to take photos during the free time.

参加者の半分くらいが海外の方で多くは中国の方でした。
日本人が少なかったので不安でしたが、
コンダクターの方が中国の方で、時間・ルール厳守を徹底されており、バスも遅れることなく最後まで快適に過ごせました。

積丹半島は無風で思いの外暑く、日傘が必要でした。
各所でおすすめスポットなどの説明もあり、短時間で効率よく楽しめたと思います。

残念なポイントとしては小樽で有名な倉庫の前を通る際にドライブスルーでの写真が撮れなかったことです。バスの速さが思いの外速かったことと、案内がギリギリでカメラを取り出すのが間に合いませんでした。
集合場所からも結構距離があり、自由時間で撮りに行くことは断念しました。

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😊

It started to rain where we were riding on the low boat. I'm glad we were able to tour somehow. Thank you to the bus guide for coming to greet us with an umbrella.

ロウﾌﾞｳｴｲに乗ったところに雨がふって来ました。なんとか見学は出来良かったです。バスガイドさんが傘を持って迎えに来てくださりありがとうございます。

It was truly the best bus tour. We were taken to places we could never have gone to on our own, and we made many precious memories. Also, the tour guide was amazing. He was a young man from Taiwan and very kind. His funny advice still lingers in my ears. If I use Veltra again next time, I would like to request that tour guide (laughs). He was really wonderful and the best tour guide. Thank you for your help.

ホントに最高のバスツアーでした。
私達だけでは、絶対に行けない場所を
ツアーで連れて行って頂き、大変貴重な
思い出が沢山できました。
そして、添乗員のお兄さん、最高でした。台湾出身の若い男性でしたが…とても優しく。面白いアドバイスが今も耳に残っています。
もし、次もベルトラさんを利用させていただくなら、あの添乗員さんでお願い致します（笑）ホントにステキで、最高の添乗員さんでした。お世話になりました。

The lunch at Lake Toya was amazing.

The bears at the Bear Ranch were playful. 😊😊

It was the best! 👍👍

The guide was also a fun person.

This bus tour was the best. Thank you!

洞爺湖の昼食、最高でした

又熊牧場の熊達のお茶目で😊😊

最高でした〜👍👍

ガイドさんも楽しい方でした

今回のバスツアー最高でした
ありがとうございました

It was a long journey from Sapporo to Furano, but every spot we visited was wonderful, and we were able to see the magnificent scenery unique to Hokkaido from the car window. The staff included the driver and two guides, both of whom were very kind and friendly. There was a guided tour using earphones, which allowed us to gather information while enjoying a fun trip.

札幌から富良野までの旅ですので移動が長かったですが、見学したスポットはどれも素敵で車窓からも北海道ならでは壮大な景色を見ることができました。
スタッフは運転士さん、ガイドさん2名で、お二人ともとても優しく親切な方でした。
イヤホンを利用しての観光ガイドがあり、情報収集もしながら楽しい旅を過ごす事ができました。

My wife and I participated together. The scenery at the planned sightseeing spots was wonderful, but the guide introduced us to delicious food at each location (including the rest area for toilet breaks), which satisfied both our eyes and our stomachs.

妻と二人で参加させて頂きました。
予定の観光地の景色も素晴らしかったですが、ガイドさんがそれぞれの場所(トイレ休憩のSAも含めて)の美味しい食べ物を紹介してくれ、目もお腹も満足しました。

The scenery was not great due to the rain, so I was very disappointed, but it was good to have a tour since it allowed us to efficiently visit distant places that would require a rental car. I think it would have been perfect if the weather had been nice.

雨で景色とか良くなかったのでとても残念でしたが、遠方を効率よく廻れるし、レンタカーでも借りないと行けない場所なので、ツアーにしたのは良かったです。
天気が良ければ最高だったと思います。

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! 😊

I had given up on seeing the lavender in Furano during this season, but I was glad to see sunflowers and other flowers. It was disappointing that the blue pond in Biei didn't have much blue.

この時期の富良野ラベンダーは諦めて訪れたのですが向日葵他の花を見られて良かったです。
美瑛の青い池が青がなくて残念でした。

I was disappointed that I couldn't enter Cape Kamui in Shakotan, which I was looking forward to the most. However, it was nice to see various landscapes from within Sapporo.

一番楽しみにしてた積丹神威岬に入れず残念でした。
札幌市内から色んな景色を見ることができるので良かったです。

It was a wonderful tour that allowed us to spend a fulfilling day enjoying the breathtaking views of Shakotan Blue in Hokkaido, visiting Otaru, which is a must-see, and the famous Shiroi Koibito Park. The guide spoke four languages fluently and kindly took photos for us, which made for a very satisfying experience. If anyone is planning to go to Hokkaido, I would highly recommend this tour as the top choice.

北海道の積丹ブルーの絶景と、1度は訪れたい小樽、そして有名な白い恋人パークに行けるとても充実した内容で1日を過ごせる素敵なツアー内容でした。ガイドさんは4か国語を流暢に話して説明してくれ、親切に写真を撮っていただき、とっても満足度の高い内容だったと思います。誰か北海道に行く人がいたらこのツアーを1番におすすめしたいコースです。

It was a pretty tight schedule, but I had a lot of fun visiting various places. I couldn't have done this much without a car, so I'm satisfied. I would love to join again if the opportunity arises. Thank you to the driver and crew for a wonderful day!!

なかなかタイトなスケジュールでしたが、色々回れて楽しかったです。
車無しでこれだけ回ることはできないので、満足です。また機会があれば参加したいです。
運転手様、乗務員様、楽しい一日をありがとうございました！！

I was able to see the ski jump up close, and sliding down from such a steep place made me respect the skiers, as I have a fear of heights.

スキージャンプ台を間近に見られ、こんなにも傾斜の有る所から滑るなんて自分は高所恐怖なので、スキーヤーさん達を尊敬しました

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。

I participated in late September, and the weather was cloudy. The temperature in Asahikawa was 7 degrees. I wore a long-sleeved shirt on the ground, but I also put on a sweatshirt and a down jacket.

9月下旬の参加ですが、天候は曇り。旭平は7度でした。地上は長袖一枚でしたが、トレーナーとダウンを着込みました。

Considering the time it takes to visit all these places by rental car and the rental costs, it's quite affordable.

これだけの場所をレンタカーで回ろうとしたら時間もかかるし、レンタカー代もそれなりにかかる事を考えると安いです。

It was disappointing that I could only go partway to Cape Kamoi due to the strong winds. The tour guide was doing a great job speaking continuously in Japanese, English, and Chinese. The Shitamukai Coast was only viewable from above, so it wasn't that impressive. I enjoyed the classic spots of Otaru and the Shiroi Koibito Park.

神威岬では強風のため途中までしか行けなかったのが残念でした。
添乗員さんが日本語・英語・中国語の3か国語を駆使してしゃべりっぱなしでがんばっておられました。
島武意海岸は上から見るだけになっているのでそれほどの感動はありませんでした。
小樽と白い恋人バークは定番で楽しめました。

Both the guide and the driver were very kind. The cheese fondue and hamburger for lunch were exquisite! Even though the lavender season has passed, the autumn flowers were blooming beautifully. Since I had just gotten my driver's license, I gave up on renting a car and chose the bus tour, but I had a very fulfilling day and was extremely satisfied. The lunch spot was a bit cramped, so it was a little awkward to share a table with others.

ガイドさんと運転手さんどちらも親切な方でした。お昼ご飯のチーズフォンデュとハンバーグは絶品です‼︎
ラベンダーの季節は過ぎてしまっても、秋の花々がとても綺麗咲いていました。
免許をとりたてだったため、レンタカーを諦め、バスツアーを選択しましたが、とても充実した1日を過ごせたので大満足です。
昼食場所が、狭かったため、他の方と相席して食べたのは少し気まずかったです。

Since my last day was scheduled to return on a flight departing from New Chitose Airport at 16:30, I was considering activities that could be enjoyed in half a day when I came across this tour. The schedule indicated an arrival at Sapporo Station at 14:00, so I was worried that if we were delayed by about 30 minutes, it would be quite hectic. However, we actually arrived around 13:50, which gave us plenty of time, and I was able to buy souvenirs at the airport without any rush.

The itinerary included the Okurayama Jump Stadium, Shiroi Koibito Park, and lunch at the outer market, making for a fulfilling half-day experience, and I was very satisfied. I highly recommend this tour course.

16:30の新千歳空港発の便で帰る最終日の予定でしたので、半日で楽しめる行事を検討していたところ、このツアーが目に留まりました。
14:00に札幌駅着とのスケジュールでしたので、もし30分ほど遅れたらかなり慌てることになると心配していました。しかし、実際には13:50頃に到着したので、余裕で間に合い、空港で土産を買う時間も十分とれました。

内容は、大倉山ジャンプ台、白い恋人パーク、場外市場で昼食と、半日ながら充実したメニューになっており、大変満足しました。イチオシのツアーコースです。

I had always wanted to visit the Blue Pond in Biei and the flower fields in Furano. Since going on my own would involve rental car costs and the burden of driving, I decided to join a bus tour for the first time.

We boarded at Sapporo Station, and with good weather and nearly a full bus, we set off. The cheese fondue for lunch was light and just the right amount, while the Hokkaido pork hamburger was well-marbled and easy to eat. I enjoyed a glass of Furano wine, and I was completely satisfied.

Although the lavender season at Tomita Farm had ended, I enjoyed the other flowers. The vast flower fields at Shikisai no Oka were stunning, and the heart-shaped red flowers were a highlight!

I learned that the Blue Pond doesn’t appear blue unless the conditions are just right, but I was satisfied with the blue reflected in the clear sky. In the evening, I was dropped off in front of the Clock Tower for a commemorative photo, then walked to Susukino for a hearty dinner, wrapping up a fulfilling day!

ずっと行ってみたかった美瑛の青い池や富良野のお花畑。自分で行くとなるとレンタカー代や運転手の負担もあり、初めてバスツアーに参加してみました。
札幌駅から乗り込み、お天気も良くほぼ満席の状態で出発。
昼食のチーズフォンデュはあっさりしてちょうど良い量、北海道産ポークハンバーグは脂乗りも良くさっぱり食べれました。
別売の富良野ワインを飲み、お腹いっぱいになりました。
富田ファームのラベンダー時期は終わっていたので他のお花で楽しみました。
四季彩の丘の広大な花畑の中、ハートの赤い花が映えポイントです！
青い池は条件が重ならないとなかなか青く見えないらしいので、青空に映る青で満足としました。
夕方、時計台の前で降ろしてもらって記念撮影、すすきのに歩いて向かい夕飯もしっかり食べて満足な1日でした♪

It was a fulfilling tour that allowed us to efficiently visit various sightseeing spots. Although lunch was not included, it was nice to be able to eat what I liked.

Out of the 30 participants, there were only three Japanese, but the guide provided detailed explanations in both Japanese and Chinese, and I felt their attentiveness throughout the tour. The guide mentioned that our meeting was a "once-in-a-lifetime" encounter, and it truly became a memorable trip.

Recently, I have participated in many tours centered around Chinese participants, like this Japan Holiday Tour, and what I feel is the high level of language skills and hospitality from the guides. I apologize if this sounds condescending, but the good manners of the Chinese participants were also impressive.

効率よく観光地をまわる、充実のツアーでした。昼食はついていませんが、かえって自分で好きなものを食べられてよかったです。
今回は30名の参加者のうち日本人は３名という構成でしたが、ガイドさんは日本語と中国語で詳しく説明していただき、また随所に気配りも感じられました。ガイドさんは「一期一会」の出会いとおっしゃていましたが、まさに思い出に残る旅となりました。
最近は今回のジャパンホリデーツアーのような中国人が中心で、そこに便乗するようなツアーに多く参加していますが、そこで感じるのはガイドさんの語学力とホスピタリーの高さです。また上から目線のようで恐縮ですが、中国人参加者のマナーのよさもすばらしいです。

I was impressed by the scenery at Cape Kamoi. There were plenty of highlights to see, and the time allocated for the visit was just right, making it enjoyable. The guide was young and spoke Japanese, English, and Chinese, providing detailed explanations. Their attentiveness was also appreciated.

神威岬の景観に感動しました。その他にも見どころたっぷり、見学時間配分もちょうどよく、楽しめました。ガイドさんは若いかたで日本語、英語、中国語を操り、丁寧に説明してくれました。気配りもあり、よかったです。

I think it would be difficult to explore everything on your own, but it was very nice to have the tour guide explain the history of Hokkaido, which I was hearing about for the first time, in an easy-to-understand way.

自分で全て回るのは大変だと思いますが効率良く、初めて聞く北海道の歴史などを添乗員の方に分かりやすく説明いただきとても良かったです
