All Reviews for Top Hokkaido Attractions

I was able to efficiently visit various spots like Lake Toya, Lake Shikotsu, and Mount Usu, which are difficult to access without a car. As someone who is not a regular driver, this was a great help. The paid option for the bear ranch was also nice. Both the driver and the tour guide were very pleasant. Thank you for a fulfilling day!

洞爺湖、支笏湖、有珠山等と車がないと行くことが難しいスポットを効率よく色々と見学できました。ペーパードライバーの身には大変助かります。有料オプションですが、熊牧場も良かったです。ドライバーの方や添乗員の方もとても感じの良い方でした。このたびは充実した1日をありがとうございました。

It seems that Sapporo was hit by rain, but Asahikawa enjoyed some sunshine and was fun. The guide was very attentive and did a great job. While some tours may primarily focus on explanations for international visitors and can be hard to understand, this was a wonderful tour. If I have the chance again, I will choose this one! I highly recommend it!

札幌は雨に降られたようですが旭川は薄陽もさして楽しめました。ガイドさんもすごく丁寧でバッチリでした。ツアーによっては海外の方向けの説明がメインでわかりずらいというようなツアーもあるようですがこちらは素晴らしいツアーでした。また機会があればここにします！おすすめです！

This time, I took a day trip tour departing from Sapporo Station. The course efficiently covered sightseeing spots in Furano and Biei in central Hokkaido, with a departure around 9 AM and arrival around 7 PM. It was great because the departure wasn't too early and the arrival wasn't too late considering the distance traveled.

Lunch at Furano Wine House met my expectations, with a delightful mini cheese fondue that paired perfectly with the factory-limited white wine, and the hamburger was delicious, leaving me very satisfied. Since I participated in early June, it was a bit too early for the lavender at Farm Tomita and Shikisai no Oka, so there were fewer types of flowers, which was a bit disappointing. I joined the tour alone, but I was able to chat with the people sitting next to me on the bus, and overall, it was a very satisfying tour.

今回は札幌駅発着の日帰りツアー。道央の富良野、美瑛での観光スポットを効率良く回るコースで出発も朝9時頃、到着も19時頃と走行距離の割には出発早すぎず到着遅すぎずでとても良かったです。
ふらのワインハウスでのランチは期待通りで、プチチーズフォンデュに工場限定の白ワインがとても合いハンバーグも美味しく大満足でした。ファーム富田、四季彩の丘は6月初旬の参加だったため、ラベンダーには少し早かったので花の種類が少なったのが少し残念でした。私はひとり参加でしたがバスの隣席の方々ともお話しすることができ全体的には非常に満足なツアーでした。

I hadn't really thought about visiting Lake Toya because it's quite a distance from Sapporo. But since it includes a bus and lunch, I decided to give it a try.

The weather was great, and I had a lot of fun.

I also enjoyed a delicious lunch.

札幌市内からは距離もあってなかなか洞爺湖までは観光しようと思ってませんでした。
バス&ランチ付きだし、よし行ってみよう

天気にも恵まれ、楽しかったです

ランチも美味しくいただきました

We gathered at the sightseeing bus stop near Sapporo Station. The location was easy to find, and the tour was held even with a small number of participants. As a result, the large bus was almost exclusively for us. With the guide's assistance, we had a great trip. We had plenty of time at the zoo and were able to see the animals we wanted to see. It had been a while since my last visit to the zoo, but I really enjoyed it. On the way back, I bought souvenirs at the service area.

札幌駅近くの観光バス乗り場に集合です。
場所もわかりやすく、停少人数でも開催されます。そのため大型バスがほぼ貸切でした。
ガイドさんの案内もあり、いい旅行ができました。
動物園の時間も十分あり、見たい動物も見れました。
ひさびさの動物園でしたが、楽しめました。
帰りは、SAでのお土産を買って帰りました。

I had seen in reviews that there were many foreign participants, so I had assumed it might be noisy, but the bus was quiet, and everything was on schedule, allowing us to have a very smooth day!

The tour guide was very pleasant and surprised us by explaining things in three languages!

The bus drove safely, which was reassuring, but the seats were a bit cramped, so my body started to ache after a long time traveling.

Overall, it was an excellent trip! Thank you!

参加者は外国の方が多いとクチコミで見ていたので、騒がしいのかなーと勝手に思っていたのですが、バスの中は静かで時間もきっちりされていて、とてもスムーズな1日を過ごすことができました！

添乗員さんは感じの良い方で、３ヶ国語で説明もされていて驚きました！

バスも安全運転だったので安心でしたが、座席が狭めなので、長時間移動で体が痛くなりました。。

ですが全体的に◎の旅でした！ありがとうございました！

Being so close, with no clouds, and the guide's sensitivity, Lake Toya and its mirror-like surface were exceptional. The lakeside restaurant at Lake Toya also serves delicious food.

あんな近くで、雲も無く、ガイドさんも、感度。洞爺湖の、鏡洞爺湖は、格別でした。洞爺湖ランチ、湖畔亭も、美味しいです。

How's the weather?

I applied about a month ago and was looking forward to it! We were blessed with the perfect weather—neither too hot nor too cold, with gentle winds, making it a wonderful day. The shiba-zakura (moss phlox) blooming all over the mountains created a beautiful pink world. The tulips were impeccably maintained and greeted us with their stunning stature.

This time, I participated with my elderly mother (I’m a senior myself—laughs). Our guide was a kind young man from Taiwan, who spoke several languages fluently while explaining things (amazing!).

He asked us multiple times if we wanted to take pictures together, but I declined out of fear of how I would look in the photos. Looking back, I regret not having taken a picture from a distance where my wrinkles wouldn’t show—laughs.

If there’s another opportunity, I would definitely like to join again! Thank you so much for a wonderful day. I truly appreciate it!

お天気はどうかな？〜と
1ヶ月ほど前に申し込みして楽しみにしていました♪
暑くもなく寒くもなく風も穏やかな最高のお天気に恵まれ、素晴らしい1日になりました♡
山一面に咲く芝桜は満開でピンク色の世界が美しかったです╰(*´︶`*)╯♡
チューリップは見事なまでに手入れされており、美しい立ち姿で迎えてくれました♡
今回は高齢の母と2人で参加させて頂きました。（私自身もシニアです〜笑）
ガイドさんは台湾出身の優しいお兄さん。
数カ国語を流暢に操り説明していらっしゃいました。（素晴らしい）
現地で、お二人で写真撮りませんか？と何度も声をかけて下さいましたが、ありのままの自分が写真に映し出される恐怖でお断りしてしまいましたm(__)m
今思えば、遠くから（シワが見えない距離で）記念に撮っていただけば良かったな〜と後悔しています（笑）
また、機会があれば是非お願いしますね♡
素晴らしい1日を本当に有り難うございました♪感謝♪

The moss phlox was in full bloom and it was amazing. The moss phlox soft serve was also delicious. The tulips were beautiful too! I experienced digging up tulips and brought some home to display.

芝桜満開で最高でした。
芝桜ソフトもおいしかった。
チューリップも綺麗でした！
チューリップ掘り起こし体験して持って帰って飾ってます。

I was very satisfied with the abundant course and delicious meals. Although it's separate from the tourist spots, one of the highlights for me was the bus driver. He was very pleasant, and his driving was careful, which made me feel safe during the ride. Since my job involves driving as well, I was particularly attentive to the driving quality.

I was a bit worried about the value for such a generous offering at this price. I would definitely like to use this service again when I visit Hokkaido.

盛りだくさんのコースと美味しいお食事に大満足でした。観光地とは別ですが私の中でとても良かった事の1つにバスの運転手さん。とても感じが良くて運転も丁寧で安心して乗っていられました。私も仕事が運転業務なものでやっぱり運転はとても気になるところでした。
このお値段でこんなに盛り沢山で心配になるくらいでした。
また北海道へ行った際はぜひ利用させていただきたいです。

On April 29th, the main event was originally supposed to be the Asahiyama Zoo tour. However, due to an incident at the zoo, we had to quickly switch to a different tour. We visited the Bibai Art Museum, a petting farm, the Blue Pond, and Shirahige Falls, and I was very satisfied with the Furano curry we had for lunch in Biei. The tour guide, Mr. Yanagyu, was very cheerful, and the atmosphere in the bus was bright and lively. One downside was that we had planned to use a large bus, but ended up with a microbus, which made the long journey a bit tiring. This was my fifth or sixth time participating, and I hope to join the Asahiyama Zoo tour next year.

4月29日は本来は旭山動物園ツアーがメインでした、所が旭山動物園で事件が有り、急遽別のツアーになりました、美唄の美術館、ふれあい牧場、青い池、白ひげの滝、美瑛ので昼食の富良野カレーがとても満足でした、添乗員の柳生さんはとても明るくて車内はとても明るい雰囲気でした、ひとつ残念なのは当初大型バスの予定がマイクロバスになり長時間の移動に少し疲れました、今回で5回目か6回目の参加でしたが来年こそは旭山動物園ツアーに参加したいと思います。

The round trip of over 5 hours by microbus was tough. It was my first time on a tour that involved such a long bus ride. The sculptures were completely boring, and the facility was empty with no other guests. We spent the longest time there, while the other facilities were only about 20 minutes each, so I think that place was unnecessary.

I would have given it one star, but the tour conductor was quick-witted and took us to a scenic spot that wasn't on the itinerary, so I gave it two stars instead.

マイクロバスでの往復5時間以上は辛かったです。そんなバスで回っているツアーは初めてでした。彫刻はまったくつまらないもので他のお客さんも居ないガラガラの施設でした。そこでの滞在時間が1番長く他の施設は20分程度だったのであの施設は要らないと思います。
星１つでもよかったのですがツアコンダクターの方が機転をきかしてくれてコースにない景色のよい所に案内してくれたので星2にしました。

It was an efficient tour that allowed us to visit various sightseeing spots in just one day. The scenery during the travel was beautiful, and I thought enjoying the views from the bus was one of the highlights.

I believe it would be even more comfortable if the bus were a bit more spacious.

1日でいろいろな観光地を回れるので、効率よく楽しめるツアーでした。移動中も景色がきれいで、バスの中からの風景を眺めるのもひとつの楽しみだと思いました。

バスがもう少し広いとさらに快適に過ごせると思います。

It was almost a full-day tour, but I really enjoyed it. The food was delicious, and I was able to buy souvenirs at the Mushroom Kingdom, and the mushroom soup was also tasty. If you're looking for a tour to fully enjoy nature, this is definitely the one! 😊

ほぼ丸一日のツアーでしたが、とても満喫できました。食事も美味しく、きのこ王国ではお土産も買うことができ、きのこ汁も美味しかった☺️自然を満喫したいツアーなら間違いないです。

Overall, this tour was extremely satisfying. Since it was snowing, I had some concerns about the journey from Sapporo to Asahiyama Zoo, but the stability was outstanding, allowing us to travel comfortably and with peace of mind. The Asahiyama Zoo was also fantastic. It was a wonderful zoo where you could feel the consideration for the animals, ensuring they were not stressed. The free time we had inside the zoo was just right. Lastly, I would like to express my gratitude to the bus driver and the tour guide. Thanks to both of them, we truly had a comfortable time. Thank you very much.

今回のツアーは全体的に大満足出来る内容でした。雪が降っていた事もあり札幌から旭山動物園までの道中に不安があったのですが安定感抜群で安心して快適に道中過ごせました。そして旭山動物園も最高でした。動物にストレスをかけないように配慮しているのが各所で感じられる素晴らしい動物園でした。園内で過ごせる自由時間もちょうどいいくらいでした。最後にバスの運転手さんバスガイドさんにお礼を伝えたいです。お二人のおかげで本当に快適な時間になりました。ありがとうございました。

It was a tour where we could stay at Asahiyama Zoo for three hours. I thought I might get bored being alone, but the time flew by. I was able to watch the penguin walk at a leisurely pace. The bus also had breaks along the way, making it comfortable.

旭山動物園に三時間滞在できるツアーでした
ひとりで時間を持て余すかと思いましたが、あっという間でした
ペンギンの散歩もゆっくり見ることができました
バスも途中休憩もあり、快適でした

I only had one day, but there were many places I wanted to visit, so I joined this tour. I thoroughly enjoyed Lake Toya, the Silo Observation Deck, and Otaru, among others. The guide's explanations were easy to understand, and I was able to experience a variety of things in a short amount of time. If I have the opportunity again, I would definitely like to do this again.

１日しかなかったが、行きたいところが沢山あり、このツアーに参加しました。
洞爺湖、サイロ展望台、小樽なと、満喫しました。ガイドの説明がわかりやすく、短時間で色々体験ができました。また機会があれば是非お願いしたいです。

It was our family's first trip to Hokkaido, staying in Sapporo. The day before, I searched the internet and suddenly decided to go to Asahiyama Zoo. While taking the train would have been fine, I happened to discover this tour and opted for the convenient bus tour instead.

I was torn between a course that included Biei, but since I wanted to take my time observing the animals and the Blue Pond was lit up, I chose this course because I'm not a fan of light displays. It turned out to be a great decision for us.

Based on other people's reviews, we brought our own bento boxes for meals, but it seemed that the restaurant wasn't crowded. However, since we visited on a weekday in late March, I think it was relatively empty.

The bus guide's stories were fascinating, and we had a very enjoyable time.

初めての北海道、札幌宿泊の家族旅行でした。
前日にインターネットを検索して、急遽旭山動物園に行こうと思いたちました。列車で行くのでも良かったのですが、たまたまこちらのツアーを発見し、楽できるバスツアーに決めました。
美瑛付きのコースと迷ったのですが、動物をゆっくり見たいのと、青い池はライトアップとありましたので、ライトアップは好みではないので、こちらのコースにしました。
私達にとっては大正解でした。
食事も他の方の口コミをみて、駅弁を持参しましたが、レストランも混んでいなかったようです。ただ訪れたのが3月下旬の平日なので、比較的空いていたのだと思います。
バスガイドさんの話も興味深く、とても楽しい時間が過ごせました。

You can go directly from Sapporo Station to Asahiyama Zoo while sitting comfortably. Since there were plenty of available seats, I was able to take advantage of the empty ones. The service areas on the way there and back differ in size; the one on the way there is more substantial, so I recommend purchasing anything that catches your eye.

We arrived at the zoo in the early afternoon, and I had given up on seeing the penguin walk, but after confirming online that they do have an afternoon walk, I made a reservation. I was thrilled to finally see the walk I had been looking forward to.

On the way back, we returned to the Sapporo area earlier than planned, around 6 PM. It was smooth and very pleasant.

札幌駅から旭山動物園まで直行のため、座って行けます｡
座席に余裕があったため、空席を利用することもできました｡
行きと帰りのサービスエリアの規模が異なります｡行きの方が充実しているので、
気になるものを見つけたら、購入することをお勧めします。

動物園にはお昼過ぎに到着するので、ペンギンの散歩は見られないとあきらめていましたが、ネットで午後の散歩を実施していることを確認してから予約しました｡
念願のお散歩を見ることができて楽しかったです｡

帰りは予定より早く、6時過ぎには札幌付近に戻りました。
スムーズでとても良かったです｡

I had always wanted to visit Asahiyama Zoo, so I joined the tour by myself. Although it's quite a distance from Sapporo, the guide drove safely the whole way and shared unique customs of Hokkaido, which kept me entertained. They also made sure I was comfortable enough to take a nap, and the information about the zoo provided in advance was very helpful, making the three-hour journey fly by! The penguin walk was already out of season, but it made me want to come back again! It was a place and a tour that truly captivated me. I fell in love with the hippo and the Ezo raccoon named Sora. My long-held wish was fulfilled, and I am very satisfied. Thank you!

旭山動物園にずっと行きたくて一人で参加しました。札幌から距離はありますが、道中ずっと安全に運転くださりガイドさんが北海道ならではの慣わしなどお話くださるので飽きることなく、そして程よく寝かせてくださるお気遣いもあり、事前に教えていただいた動物園の情報も役立ち3時間があっという間でした！ペンギンのお散歩はシーズン終了していましたが、だからまた来たい！と思える場所でありツアーでした。私はかばちゃんやえぞたぬきの空くんにドはまりしました。念願叶い大満足です。ありがとうございました！

I was able to enjoy many places efficiently in just one day. The great outdoors was wonderful, and I was also happy to see the bear ranch. The meals were substantial, much more than I expected from a tour.

1日で効率よくたくさんの場所を満喫できました。大自然も素晴らしかったですがクマ牧場も見れて嬉しかったです。食事もツアーとは思えないくらいしっかりした内容でした。

I visited Lake Shikotsu, Lake Toya, and Mount Usu, and each place was incredibly beautiful and moving. I enjoyed a delicious lunch while taking in the scenery at Lake Toya. The guide was very kind and attentive, which made the tour even more enjoyable. We were able to get off in Susukino on the way back, so I could also enjoy Susukino. Thank you to the driver and the guide!

支笏湖、洞爺湖、有珠山を回りましたが、どこもとても美しく感動的でした。洞爺湖でのランチは景色を見ながら美味しいランチを頂きました。ガイドさんがとても親切丁寧な対応をしてくださったので、より楽しいツアーになりました。帰りにすすきので下車出来たので、すすきのも楽しむ事ができました。運転手さんガイドさんありがとうございました。

I like bus tours because they allow me to efficiently visit attractions. The information provided through the earphones was detailed, and both the guide and the driver were friendly and very good. There are still spots I want to visit, so I will use this service again.

効率よく見所を観光できるため、バスの旅は好きです。イヤホンから聞ける案内も詳しく、ガイドさんも運転者さんも温和でとても良かったです。まだ観光したいスポットがあるので、利用します。

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 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。

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 consideration of the driver and guide was amazing on this tour 👍. It was fun and a great deal to see the Ezo deer from the car. Thank you very much to the driver and guide. If there is another opportunity, I look forward to it 🙇.

運転手さん・ガイドさんの配慮がすごいツアー👍
車中よりエゾシカ観覧、お得で楽しかった。
運転手さん・ガイドさん本当にありがとうございました。
また機会がありましたら、よろしくお願いします🙇

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。
