All Reviews for Top Hokkaido Attractions

I participated in a bus tour for the first time since I was on a business trip and it was quite challenging to travel alone by car on the weekend. Since it was Sunday, most people joined in groups, so I felt a bit lonely being by myself. However, I enjoyed it while feeling comforted by the kind tone of the guide. The weather was nice, and the beautiful scenery made for a great day of sightseeing. The lunch was even more delicious than I had imagined, and although I usually leave food behind, I finished everything. I was most looking forward to the blue pond, but it was unfortunate that we didn't have enough time. For those who can't plan their own itinerary, a bus tour is the best option.

出張で来ていて土日は、お休みのため1人で車移動もなかなか大変なのでバスツアーに初参加。
日曜日なので、ほとんどの方が多数での参加でした。
1人は、3組くらいで少し寂しくもありました。
それでも、ガイドさんの優しい口調でほっこりしながら楽しみました。
お天気もよくて綺麗な景色で1日で観光できよかったです。ランチも想像していたものより美味しく
いつも残してしまいますが完食。
青い池が1番楽しみだったのですが
時間に余裕がなかったのが残念。
自分で予定立てられない方にはバスツアーは、最高ですよ。

It was a clear day in September, and the sky was beautiful. The main focus was the audio guide, but the guide shared interesting trivia, allowing us to make the most of our limited time and enjoy ourselves. Lunch at Furano Wine House was very delicious, and the hamburger was the best! I was also able to enjoy the original Furano mochi from Campana Rokkatei, which was very tasty! Although it wasn't lavender season at Farm Tomita, it was a perfect place to buy souvenirs, and I was able to get a cute lavender plate! At Shikisai no Oka, sunflowers and petunias were in full bloom, and it was very beautiful. The Blue Pond was even bluer than I had expected. I was able to take some lovely photos. On the way back, I was dropped off at the Clock Tower, so I took some pictures there before heading home. It was so much fun. I highly recommend it to anyone who is unsure! Please give it a try!

9月の晴れた日でとても空が綺麗でした。基本は音声ガイドですが、ガイドさんが豆知識を教えてくれるので、限られた中で時間を有効活用して楽しむことができました。ふらのワインハウスでの昼食もとても美味しくハンバーグが最高でした！カンパーナ六花亭オリジナルのふらの餅も無事に食べることができとてもおいしかったです！ファーム富田ではラベンダーの時期ではなかったもののお土産を買うのにぴったりの場所でかわいいラベンダープレートをゲットできました！四季彩の丘ではひまわりやペチュニアが咲き誇っており、とても綺麗でした。青い池も思ってた以上に青く。綺麗な写真を撮ることができました。帰りに時計台で下ろしてもらえたので時計台で写真も撮ってから帰りました。すごく楽しかったです。迷ってる方へおすすめです！ぜひ参加してみてください〜！

I participated on Friday, September 8th. On that day, there were about equal numbers of Japanese and Taiwanese participants, and we toured in a medium-sized bus. The tour guide was a Hong Kong man who provided guidance in Japanese and Mandarin. He was very friendly and had a great personality.

We visited the zoo, the Blue Pond, and a waterfall, and he provided detailed information about which women's restrooms were clean, which was very helpful. The zoo was enjoyable, and two hours was enough time to see the unique animals of Hokkaido up close.

I thought it would be better to wear comfortable shoes at the Blue Pond since the path was bumpy. The soft serve ice cream was delicious. We viewed the waterfall from a bridge, and it was very beautiful.

We were scheduled to arrive in Sapporo city around 7 PM, but we were able to return around 6:30 PM due to smooth progress. It was a very enjoyable tour. Thank you!

9月8日の金曜日に参加しました。当日は日本人と台湾人が半々くらいの人数で中型バスでの観光でした。
添乗員さんは香港人の男性で、日本語と北京語でガイドをしてくれました。ニコニコして人柄がとても良かったです。
動物園と青い池と滝を回りましたが、女性用トイレがどこが綺麗かという情報を細かく教えてくれたので、とても助かりました。
動物園は2時間あれば十分楽しむことができ、北海道ならではの動物を間近で見ることができて楽しかったです。
青い池は道がガタガタなので歩きやすい靴で行ったほうがいいなと思いました。ソフトクリームが美味しかったです。
滝は橋から眺めましたがとても綺麗でした。
19時過ぎに札幌市内到着予定でしたが、スムーズに進んだため18時半頃戻ることができました。
とても楽しいツアーでした。ありがとうございました。

I chose this tour because I wanted to go from Sapporo to Furano on my first trip with my daughter. I had never been to Shikisai no Oka and the Blue Pond, but they were incredibly beautiful and left me in awe. The wide blue sky from Campana Rokkatei was wonderful. We had a morning meeting, and I had trouble finding the bus stop, so I walked around after arriving at the station, but other than that, the day went smoothly without any issues. I'm glad I chose this tour.

娘と初2人旅で、札幌から富良野に行きたくて
こちらのツアーを選びました。
四季彩の丘と青い池は、行ったことがなかったのですが、とてもきれいで感動しました。
カンパーナ六花亭からの広い青空が素晴らしかったです。
朝の集合で、バス乗り場がわからなくて駅についてから歩き回りましたが、それ以外は問題なくスムーズに1日過ごせました
こちらのツアーを選んで良かったです

This is my second time. I was a bit disappointed that there were fewer flowers than I expected compared to last time.

However, the bus guide was very kind and provided a lot of detailed information right up until we got off, which was enjoyable and helpful.

今回2回目
前回よりお花が思っていたより少なくて少し残念

でも、案内のバスガイドさんがとても親切で、いろいろ細かい情報を降りる寸前まで伝えてくれて、楽しかったし、助かりました

I was torn between plans that included the zoo, but I decided to go with this one because I wanted to enjoy the magnificent scenery of Hokkaido. It was a shame that the sky was cloudy, but I was able to visit all the places I wanted to go. Since it was a group activity, it was unavoidable to return to the bus within a limited time. If I have another opportunity, I’ve decided I want to visit some places at my own pace! Definitely during the lavender season!

Lunch was delicious and had a good portion size. Of course, drinks like wine are available for an additional charge. It might have been more enjoyable to have the dining table set for women, as it could have sparked more conversation. I was able to sit alone on the bus, which made it easy to relax and enjoy.

動物園の入ってるプランと迷いましたが、北海道の雄大な景色を堪能したいと思い、こちらに決めました。
曇り空やったのが残念でしたが、行きたいところ全て回れました
団体行動なので限られた時間でバスに戻ってくるのは仕方ない事。また機会があれば、個人でゆっくり行きたい場所も決まりました！ラベンダーの季節にも是非！
ランチも美味しくボリュームもありました。
もちろんワインなどの飲物は別料金で頼めます。
食事のテーブルは女性同士にしてもらった方が会話も弾んだかな？
バスの席は相席ではなく、1人で座れたので気楽に楽しめました。

The pioneer village, crab house, Cape Earth, the town and night view of Hakodate, the morning market, the Trappistine Monastery, Onuma Park, and Hell Valley... It was a very fulfilling trip with beautiful scenery, delicious food, and a hotel with hot springs for accommodation.

開拓村、カニ屋敷、地球岬、函館の町や夜景、朝市、トラピスチヌ修道院、大沼公園、地獄谷、、、綺麗な景色に美味しい物、宿泊のホテルも温泉付きで大変充実した旅になりました。

Last year, I participated in a tour that included popular spots like Furano. My son was disappointed that we didn't have enough time at Asahiyama Zoo, so this year I chose a tour that only goes to Asahiyama Zoo.

As a result, it was a great decision. My son was very satisfied. The animals seemed lively and we had a lot of fun, possibly because the heat had settled down.

However, unrelated to the tour content, there were two pairs of parents with children around three years old sitting together, while two adults sat behind them. That was not good. The adults were either chatting or engrossed in their smartphones, while the kids were noisy and watching a tablet without headphones, causing sound leakage. They were completely unsupervised. They were even playing with the drink holders and almost broke them. When we finally got off the bus, the area under the seats where the kids were sitting was full of trash! Yet the parents nonchalantly got off without a care, which was shocking.

To participate in such an inexpensive tour and leave the bus in such a messy state... I will take this as a lesson.

去年は一番人気の富良野等にも行くツアーに参加。息子が旭山動物園の滞在時間が足りなかったと残念がっていたので、今年は旭山動物園だけ行ければいい、とこれを選んだ。
結果、大正解。息子も大満足。
動物さん達は、暑さも落ち着いたせいか皆元気でとっても楽しめた。


ツアー内容と関係ないが参加者の親子２組さん、３歳前後？の子供を2人で座らせ後ろに大人が２人で座ってた、あれはまずい。おばさん同士のお喋り又はスマホに夢中で、子供達が騒いだりタブレットをイヤホン無しで鑑賞しおもいっきり音漏れしてたり、が完全野放し。ドリンクホルダーで遊んで折りそうだったし。最後に降りた時には子供のいた座席下がゴミだらけ！なのに親は知らん顔で堂々と降りていって驚愕。

こんなお安くツアーに参加させて頂いておいて、バスをゴミだらけにして帰るとは…反面教師とします。

Since we were with small children, we chose this tour because the travel time was not too long, and there were breaks, allowing us to spend a good amount of time at the zoo. Aside from the meeting point being a bit hard to find, it was a very good tour. The guide's explanations during the trip were very clear, and the driving was very careful. As mentioned, we were able to relax at the zoo, which made our family very satisfied. Although this isn't about the content of the tour itself, I did notice that the café space at the ranch on the way back was not very large, and some participants had to eat their gelato standing up. Additionally, there were participants who did not adhere to the meeting time, which was a bit concerning.

小さい子供連れだったため、それほど移動時間が長くなく休憩時間も設定され、かつ動物園で長く過ごせるこちらのツアーを選びました。
集合場所が少しわかりずらかった点を除けばとても良いツアーでした。
道中でのガイドの方の説明はとても分かりやすく、また運転もとても丁寧でした。
上記のとおり動物園でゆっくり過ごせたため、家族の満足度も高かったです。
ツアーの中身自体の話ではないですが、帰路の牧場のカフェスペースが大きくなく、立ったままジェラートを食べざるを得なかったツアー参加者がいたことと、ツアー参加者の中で集合時間を守らなかった方が居た点は気になりました。

It was a long bus ride, but with the audio guide, I was able to pass the time without getting bored. There seemed to be some foreign travelers as well, but the bus was surprisingly quiet (perhaps the explanations were thorough).

The weather was nice, and I was able to see many beautiful landscapes. The highlight was Farm Tomita. Although the lavender season was over and I couldn't see it, I love the scent, so I bought various items at the souvenir shop. I recommend the potpourri that can be placed in a pillow; it has a lovely fragrance that is very soothing.

I was a bit disappointed that the lunch break was only about 50 minutes, which made me conscious of the time while eating. I might not have needed to order wine.

Overall, it was a highly satisfying experience, and I would like to use this service again next time.

長時間のバス移動でしたが、音声ガイドもあり退屈せずに過ごせました。外国人の方もいらっしゃったようですが、車内はびっくりするくらい静かでした。（説明が行き届いているのかも）
天気もよく、素敵な景色を沢山みることができてよかったです。一番よかったのはファーム富田です。ラベンダーの時期は終わっていてみれませんでしたが、香りが大好きなので、お土産ショップでは色々と買わせてもらいました。おすすめは枕にしのばせるポプリで、いい香りで癒されます。
お昼の時の休憩時間が50分位しかなく、時間を気にしながらの食事だったのが少し残念でした。ワインは頼まなくてよかったかも。
でも全体的に満足度の高い内容で、次回も利用したいと思いました。

I proposed enjoying our favorite scenery on a bus tour with my family, feeling excited about trying a different tour company. However, I never want to use this company again. The driver's driving was reckless and rough, showing no consideration for the passengers. They seemed Chinese... I’m relieved we arrived without an accident, but the sightseeing content was wonderful, even if the time for sightseeing was short, so I was very satisfied despite the disappointing driving.

I was astonished by the reviews being accurate. The lunch buffet was terrible, and the women's restroom was unacceptable; it always seemed to need someone in charge of cleaning! The cleaning was insufficient, toilet paper was not flushed, there was a mountain of trash, and the water was not running for foreign guests... I stopped using the restroom. It was not hygienic at all. I was glad it was only 60 minutes. I wished there had been a Japanese guide so I could express my opinions... It was so dirty that I forgot to take pictures; I should have posted them. Given the surge in tourists during the COVID-19 pandemic, I hope they improve hygiene completely.

The only thing I enjoyed was buying lavender soft serve ice cream, which was delicious.

I really wanted to eat at Asahiyama Zoo without a meal. There were others who had similar experiences as described in the reviews. I felt that I wanted to avoid tour companies with bad reviews.

家族で，大好きな景色をバスツアーで楽しむ提案し
いつもとは違うツアー会社にドキドキも..
2度と利用したくない、しない会社。担当者の
運転が　乱暴で荒く、お客様が乗ってる事を考えていない、中国人には見えるが...事故なく着いて安堵してますが観光内容は素晴らしいので、時間内での観光も短くも
大満足なので、残念な運転でした。

クチコミ通りの内容に唖然..ランチビュッフェもまずい
お手洗い女性用がありえない常にトイレ担当か必要！清掃がおいついていない、トイレットペーパーを流さない、ゴミの箱の山、水も流さない外国人の方々..お手洗いはやめました。衛生的にも良くない。
60分で良かった。日本人のガイドさんがいてほしかった。意見を伝えられるので...汚すぎで，写真を撮る事も忘れて、掲載すれば良かったですね。コロナ禍のインバウンドで、観光客が激増してる訳ですから、衛生面は完璧にしてほしい。
ラベンダーソフトクリームだけは自分で購入し美味しかった。

食事なしで　食事は本当に旭山動物園で食べたかった。
クチコミ通りの内容の方がいました。
クチコミは悪い内容は信じて行かない事にしたいと
感じたツアー会社でした。

I participated in a Beltora tour for the first time. I traveled from Yokohama to Sapporo for a 2-night, 3-day trip, and I joined the Beltora tour for one day in between. Before participating, I was worried that 2 hours at Asahikawa Zoo might not be enough time, but I enjoyed it thoroughly. At the Blue Pond and Shirahige Falls, the tour guide provided various sightseeing explanations, which made it enjoyable. The lunch buffet was also delicious. Renting a car to explore at the travel destination is nice, but I realized that participating in a tour is also fun and efficient. The driver and the tour guide were kind, and their attention to detail was excellent. Thank you for a wonderful trip!

初めてベルトラツアーに参加しました。
横浜から札幌に2泊３日の旅行で中1日をベルトラツアー参加しました。参加前は旭川動物園に2時間滞在では時間が少ないかな？不安でしたが、十分楽しめました。青の池、白髭の滝では添乗員のお兄さんが色々観光説明をしてくれ、楽しめめました。お昼のバイキングも美味しく頂きました。旅行先でレンタカー借りてまわるのもいいけど、ツアー参加も楽しいし、無駄がないんだなと思いました。また運転手さん、添乗員のお兄さんも優しく、気配り最高でした。楽しい旅行をありがとうございました。

I participated alone before the Hokkaido Marathon. I had a great time even by myself. The Shikisai no Oka was wonderful.

北海道マラソン前に1人で参加させていただきました。1人でも楽しく過ごせます。
　四季彩の丘良かったです

The weather was a bit uncertain, but it held up, and I was able to enjoy myself. Thank you. I was looking forward to the guide's stories, as there were many reviews mentioning how enjoyable they were, but it ended up being just an audio guide, which felt a bit bland, so I stopped listening halfway through. I noticed others had also put down their headphones, which was disappointing. I really wanted to hear the guide's live stories. Since it was a tour with international participants, I guess it couldn't be helped. I'm looking forward to the next tour. I was impressed by the gentlemanly demeanor of the bus driver. I appreciate it.

天候が微妙でしたがなんとか天気ももち、楽しむことができました。ありがとうございます。ガイドの方のお話が楽しかったとの口コミが多く楽しみにしていましたが音声ガイドでひたすら聞く感じだったのが味気なく途中から聞くのを辞めました。他の方も同じくヘッドホンを置いていて残念でした。やはりガイドさんの生のお話が聞きたかったです。海外の方も参加のツアーだったので仕方ありませんね。また次回のツアーを期待しております。バスの運転手さんの紳士的な対応に頭が下がる思いでした。感謝してます。

Early in the morning, we headed from Sapporo to Asahikawa via the highway. There were 11 participants in 5 groups (3 Japanese groups and 2 foreign groups), so we used a small microbus. While I appreciated that the tour was still conducted with a small number of people, the ride was a bit uncomfortable. The driver was a pleasant person.

We spent 2 hours at Asahiyama Zoo, enjoying the underwater polar bears, penguins viewed from below, and seals swimming freely in the tanks! It was wonderful to see the lively animals in the water. On the other hand, the land animals looked pitifully exhausted from the heat, just like us humans.

The "Hokkaido local gourmet lunch" was a bit disappointing due to the overlap with other foreign groups, which made it crowded, and the limited menu. I had high expectations, so it was a letdown. I actually think it would have been better to extend our time at Asahiyama Zoo and have the freedom to eat there.

The Blue Pond was beautiful, and the sound of the Shirahige Waterfall was impressive, with a cool river breeze that made us forget the heat!

早朝の札幌から高速で一路旭川へ。5組11名参加（日本人3組＋外国人2組）のため小型のマイクロバス。少人数でも催行となりありがたい反面、乗り心地は△。運転手さんは感じのいい方でした。
旭山動物園には2時間滞在して、水中のシロクマ！下から見上げるペンギン！水槽を上下自由自在に泳ぐアザラシ！水の中の元気な動物の姿を満喫しました。一方、陸上の動物たちは、あまりの暑さにみんなグッタリでかわいそう！人間と一緒です。
「北海道ご当地グルメランチ」は、他の外国人団体客と滞在時間が重なって混雑していたことと、メニューが少なかったことで、期待が大きかっただけにちょっとガッカリ…。むしろ旭山動物園の滞在時間を増やして、そこで自由に食事をとれた方がよかったと思いました。
青い池は美しく、白髭のたきは迫力ある水の音と涼しい川風で暑さを忘れさせてくれました！

The meeting place was a bit hard to find, and even though I arrived early with someone else who was departing from the same location, we had to wait a long time for the person in charge to arrive. When I called, I found out they were right behind us. The driver and the tour guide were both great, so I’m glad I participated, but I was really disappointed with the food as it was very unappetizing.

待ち合わせ場所がいまいち分かりにくく、同じ場所から出発の人と予定時刻より早く着いたのに待ち、なかなか担当の方が来ないので電話したら、すぐ真裏にいらっしゃいました。
運転手さんと添乗員さんがとてもよかったので、参加して良かったですが、ご飯がまずすぎてガッカリしました

First of all, most of the tour participants were from overseas, and my son and I were the only Japanese. However, the tour guide provided guidance in Japanese just for us.
We started at Asahiyama Zoo and enjoyed the unique nature of Hokkaido. I especially savored the magnificent views of the Blue Pond and Shirahige Falls.
The lunch was also very delicious, with a variety of options like Genghis Khan and Asahikawa ramen, allowing us to enjoy the food of Hokkaido.
Even the long travel time felt short thanks to the guide's anecdotes! The scenery visible from the window was beautiful and moving.

まず、ツアーの参加者は海外の方が大半で日本人は私と息子だけでしたが、ツアーガイドの方は私たちのために日本語でもガイドしてくださりました。
　まず旭川動物園から始まり、北海道特有の自然とを楽しめました。特に青い池と白髭の滝などの雄大な景色を堪能しました。
　お昼ご飯もとても美味しく、ジンギスカンや旭川ラーメンなどたくさんの種類があり北海道の食を楽しめました。
　長い移動時間もガイドさんの小話で時間を感じず過ごすことができました！窓から見える景色も綺麗で感動しました。

I have never forgotten the trip I took in my twenties, driving from my hometown of Tokyo, taking a ferry from Aomori, and exploring Hokkaido for a few days without any reservations. After moving to Kawasaki City in Kanagawa Prefecture, experiencing marriage, childbirth, and divorce, I found myself in my fifties, all the while wishing to return to Hokkaido. My son has now become a working adult, and since I often talked about my memories of Hokkaido, he too dreamed of visiting. We decided to take a bus tour for one night and two days, with only 22 hours in Hokkaido. The weather was perfect, and everything was wonderful.

At Farm Tomita, as soon as we stepped in, we were greeted by the scent of lavender. Eating Furano melon and washing our hands at the water station, I was amazed by the coldness of the water. The blue pond was just as beautiful as I had seen online. My son bought a blue fox plush toy at the souvenir shop near the blue pond. At first, I thought, "Wait, is a 24-year-old guy really buying a plush toy?" But now, seeing the blue fox displayed in our living room, I realize it’s a rare treasure that isn’t sold here, and I’m glad he bought it.

Since we don’t drink alcohol, I planned to buy grape juice during the winery tour, but they only offered it by the cup on-site, which was disappointing because I wanted to take some home. The rolling hills, wheat fields, and flower patches were unlike anything in Tokyo or Kanagawa. The forest colors were also different; while Kanto has deep greens, Hokkaido had bright, vivid greens. The roofs of houses were designed to prevent snow accumulation, and I saw a drum can standing on a platform next to a house, which I had never seen before. Everything felt fresh and new.

The bus driver was excellent, and the bus guide shared many memorable stories about Hokkaido that I listened to intently. I was deeply moved by the history of Farm Tomita, particularly the story of how the owner’s wife convinced him to continue the lavender farm for one more year, which led to the spread of beautiful photos of the lavender fields. I learned that life can change unexpectedly, and even if things don’t seem to change now, there’s always a possibility for something to change if you don’t give up.

There were some place names on the blue road signs that I couldn’t read, which made the trip even more enjoyable. I didn’t want to waste a moment sleeping on the bus, especially since plane tickets are expensive and I don’t know when I’ll be able to come back. I made sure to remember everything.

I won’t mention names since they are personal, but I still have the names of the bus driver and guide saved in my phone. The guide mentioned that there are hardly any amusement parks in Hokkaido, and the one we saw was one of only a couple in the area. I felt fortunate to have learned this because I was sitting in the front row and had the chance to ask questions.

After 27 years, visiting Hokkaido in the summer was different from before; the climate has changed, and it was more humid and hot compared to back then. Although it was a whirlwind trip with only 22 hours, I’m glad I went. I hope to travel to Hokkaido again before I die, as it is my favorite prefecture. If I have the chance to visit again, I hope to have the same bus driver and guide. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

20代の頃に地元東京から車を走らせ青森からフェリーに乗って宿も取らずに行き当たりばったりで数日間北海道をめぐった旅を忘れられずにいました。神奈川県川崎市に越し、結婚、出産、離婚を経験し、また北海道に行きたいと常々思いながら必死に子供を育てて気付いたら50代を過ぎていました。息子も社会人になり常日頃私が北海道の思い出を話していたので息子も北海道へ夢を馳せ、思い切って1泊2日、北海道滞在時間22時間ですが親子でバスツアーに参加。お天気にも恵まれ、全てが素敵でした。ファーム富田は一歩足を踏み入れたら一面ラベンダーの香り。富良野メロンを食べてファーム内の水道場で手を洗えば水の冷たさに感動し、青い池は何度もネット上で見た通りの素敵な色。息子は青い池のお土産屋で青いキツネのぬいぐるみを買っていました。え？24歳の男子がぬいぐるみ買うの？とその時は思いましたが今リビングに飾られた青いキツネを見るとこっちでは売ってないんだよなぁ貴重な宝物だなと、買って良かったなってキツネを愛しく撫でてしまいます。親子でお酒は飲まないのでワイン工場見学ではぶどうジュースを購入しようと思っていましたがその場で瓶での購入はやっていなく今はカップ1杯でいくらという購入方法でその場で飲むしかありません。買って帰りたかったのでそこは残念でした。東京や神奈川には無い、眼前に広がる丘陵そして麦畑やお花畑のパッチワーク。また森林の色も関東では深緑が多い中、北海道は目が覚めるような鮮やかな明るい緑が多く、住宅の屋根は雪が積もらないように(？)片側だけの屋根。家の横にはこちらでは見た事のない、ドラム缶が横にして台の上に立ててある…ちょっとうまく説明出来ませんが何もかもが新鮮でした。バスの運転手さんはさすが運転が上手く、バスガイドさんの話は本当に心に残る北海道の話を多くされて一言も聞きもらすもんかと食い気味に聞いていました。今のファーム富田があるのは【もうラベンダー畑をやめようと思ったオーナーをあと一年やってみようと引き留めた奥様の言葉、そしてその一年の間にある方の撮ったファーム富田のラベンダー畑の写真が世に広がったから】という歴史に痛く感動し涙が溢れました。人生どこに転機が訪れるかわからない、今は変わらなくても諦めなければ何かが変わる可能性だってあるんだという事を教えてもらいました。青い道路標識を見ても読めない地名もちらほらあり、それを見るだけでも楽しくてバスの中で寝るなんてもったいない、飛行機代だって高いしまたいつ来れるかわからないからと全て目に焼きつけて帰ってきました。
個人名になるので名前は記しませんが、バスの運転手さんとバスガイドさんの名前は今も携帯のメモ機能に保存しています。遠くに見える遊園地の事をバスガイドさんは北海道には遊園地が殆どないのであれは道内で1つ2つあるうちの1つなんですよと教えてくれました。これも最前列の席に座れたおかげで話しかけたから教えてもらえた事で今でも得した気分です。27年振りの夏の北海道、昔と違って気候が変わり当時に比べて湿度があり暑かったし22時間滞在の弾丸でしたが行って良かったです。またいつか死ぬ前にもう一度でも北海道に旅が出来たらと思います。都道府県の中で一番好きな地。またお世話になる事があれば同じ運転手さんとバスガイドさんに当たればいいな。本当に素敵な思い出をありがとうございました。

Asahiyama Zoo was as good as the reputation suggests! The guide was also entertaining.

The lunch menu recommended by the guide was great, but everything else was just average.

旭山動物園は評判通りよかったです♪
ガイドさんも面白かった。

お昼ご飯はガイドさんオススメメニューはよかったけれど、それ以外は普通。

There were many tourists from overseas, and I was a bit confused at first, but the guide's brightness made it all go away! I was able to spend a fulfilling day while skillfully navigating three languages.

海外からの観光客が多く、最初戸惑いましたが、添乗員さんの明るさで吹っ飛びました❣️
3カ国語を巧みに操り、充実した一日を過ごせました

I wanted to go to Furano, so I joined this tour. Both the guide and the driver were wonderful, but I thought it might have been okay not to visit anything other than Furano Farm and the Blue Pond in Biei. Unfortunately, it was rainy, but the Blue Pond was truly blue, magical, and beautiful. I chose this tour because I could quickly have lunch with a bento, and the bento was very delicious, so it was the right choice. I definitely want to participate in another tour in the future.

富良野に行きたかったので、こちらのツアーに参加しました。ガイドも運転手も素晴らしかったですが、富良野ファームと美瑛の青い池以外は行かなくても良かったかな、と思いました。あいにくの雨天でしたが、青い池は本当に青く幻想的で素敵でした。数あるツアーからこちらを選んだのは、お弁当で手早くお昼を済ませられるから、でしたが、お弁当がとても美味しく、選んで正解でした。今後また別のツアーも是非参加してみたいです。

Every place was new to me, and I was thrilled. It was hot, but I was glad the weather was nice. The Shikisai no Oka and the Blue Pond in Biei were amazing. I wish I had spent a bit more time at Shikisai no Oka. The bento was delicious. It would have been perfect if it had come with a drink.

どこも初めての場所で感激でした。
暑かったけど天候に恵まれて良かったです。
美瑛の四季彩の丘と青い池が最高でした。四季彩の丘の滞在時間が少し短かったです。
お弁当に美味しかった。飲み物が付いてたら100点でした。

I was looking for a tour that would take me to several major tourist spots since I had no local knowledge and no means of transportation, and I came across this tour.

It seemed to be primarily aimed at foreign tourists, and we were the only Japanese people, but perhaps because the foreign guests were wealthy enough to travel abroad, they were quiet during the journey and had good manners, which made it enjoyable and安心!

However, there was one disappointing thing...

The restaurant we stopped at for lunch also seemed to cater to bus tour guests from overseas, and there were many people from China. Unfortunately, the restrooms were very dirty. More than half of the stalls were broken and out of order. Perhaps because they couldn't flush, used toilet paper was overflowing in the stalls and left unattended. I wonder if they couldn't keep up with the number of guests or if there were just too many customers...

Other than that, I was very satisfied! With lunch included, this price is a great deal!

The guide was also very kind, thank you so much!

I will definitely use this service again when I travel!

土地勘もなく、足もないので、主要の観光地を何箇所も廻ってもらえるﾂｱｰを探していて、こちらのﾂｱｰに出逢いました。

主に海外の観光客向けのﾂｱｰのようで日本人は私達だけでしたが、海外旅行ができるような裕福な外国の方だからか、移動中も静かで、ﾏﾅｰもよく、安心して楽しめました！

ただ1つだけ残念なことが…

昼食で立ち寄ったお店も、やはり海外からのﾊﾞｽﾂｱｰ客向けらしく、おそらく中国の方がたくさんいたのですが、ﾄｲﾚが汚いこと汚いこと。
半分以上の個室が壊れていて使用禁止。流せないからか、使用済みのﾄｲﾚｯﾄﾍﾟｰﾊﾟｰが個室に溢れんばかりに捨ててあり、放置してありました。
受け入れ体制が間に合っていないのか、それ以上にお客さんがきてしまっているのか…

それ以外は大満足でした！
昼食もついて、この価格はお得です！

ｶﾞｲﾄﾞｻﾝにも、とても親切にしていただき、本当にありがとうございました！

また旅行に行く際は使わせていただきます＼(^o^)／

I enjoyed a scenery that felt just like being abroad. While gazing at the slopes of hills representative of Hokkaido, I felt as if I were on an overseas trip without needing a passport. Both the guide and the driver were very kind, making it the best trip. I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious the bento was, which I hadn't expected much from. I highly recommend it.

まるで外国のような景色を楽しめました。
北海道を代表するような丘の斜面を眺めながら、パスポートなしで行ける海外旅行をしたような気分でした。
ガイドさんも運転手さんもとても親切で、最高の旅になりました。
あまり期待していなかったお弁当が美味しくて、良い意味でとても驚きました。
オススメです。

I was able to visit all the places I wanted without wasting time, and by having lunch as a bento distribution, we were able to stay longer at each location. By moving ahead of other tour groups, we avoided crowds at the destinations, making it a truly meaningful experience.

行きたい場所を無駄なく観光出来、昼食をお弁当配布にした事で各場所の滞在時間も長く
他のツアーの方々より先回りしてまわることで滞在先でも混み合うこともなく、本当に有意義な時間になりました

I participated with three colleagues! It started with the bus guide's perfect announcements, and I felt a sense of security throughout thanks to the safe driving.

The plan was focused on the zoo, but we couldn't manage to see everything even at a brisk pace... My honest feeling is that it would be nice if the meeting time could be a bit earlier to extend the viewing time.

However, I am very grateful to have seen the behavioral exhibits that I was looking forward to, and to have experienced it at this price! I definitely want to use this service again.

同僚3人と参加しました！バスガイドさんの完璧なアナウンスから始まり、安全運転で終始安心感がありました。
動物園に特化したプランでしたが、私たちには急ぎ足でも回り切ることができませんでした…せめてもう少し集合時間を早くして、見学時間が伸びたらいいのになというのが率直な感想です。
ですがお目当てだった行動展示をこの目で見られて、そしてそれをこのお値段で体験できたことに私はとても感謝しています！ぜひまた利用させていただきたいです。

I went to Sapporo with my elderly mother for some errands, and I thought it would be a good opportunity to do some sightseeing. I considered a tour to Asahiyama Zoo, which I had wanted to visit for a long time.

There were tours that included visits to other attractions as well, which seemed like a better deal and were eligible for travel support. However, considering my mother's stamina, I opted for a tour with a shorter duration.

Perhaps because many people choose the tour mentioned above, there were only 15 participants on the day, which made for a relaxed experience. We enjoyed the magnificent scenery of Hokkaido while listening attentively to the knowledgeable guide's explanations on the bus.

We had plenty of time to explore the zoo, and although my mother struggled a bit with the hilly terrain, she was able to take her time and enjoy the visit.

If I have the chance, I would like to participate in a more packed tour next time.

June 24, Saturday
The weather was quite decent, with occasional clouds and sunshine.

Meeting time was at 8:10 AM in front of the Sapporo TV Tower information desk. However, there were many buses, and I had trouble finding mine, almost thinking I would be late. When I called, they responded immediately. Thanks to that, I was able to meet up with the guide without being late.
We departed for the zoo almost on time. There were only three Japanese people in the group, but the Chinese guide spoke fluent Japanese.

At Asahiyama Zoo, I participated in the polar bear feeding time. Arriving just over 10 minutes early, I got a great spot in the front row for standing viewers!

Before the feeding time, the zoo staff got ready, and the polar bear started to get restless. It climbed on the rocks and wandered around...
Then, at the start time, fish were thrown into the pool, and we witnessed an impressive dive from the polar bear, which drew cheers from the audience! After that, it elegantly swam while eating the fish.
I also got to see the feeding times for seals and giraffes. Although it was only two hours, I was able to see most of the animals!

Next, we headed to Furano for an all-you-can-eat lunch. There were 30 types of food, including Hokkaido specialties like Genghis Khan (grilled lamb) and soup curry, as well as desserts.
Well, I also enjoyed lavender soft serve and melon at the shop.

After the meal, we headed towards Tokachidake and enjoyed the Blue Pond and Shirahige Falls. Both the Blue Pond and Shirahige Falls were connected, and the waterfall and pond were all stunningly blue, which was breathtaking. Tokachidake was also beautifully visible, offering a spectacular view!

I got tired from walking and dozed off on the return bus. Thanks to the driver and guide, we safely arrived at Sapporo Station.
I made wonderful memories in just one day! Thank you very much!!

6月24日土曜日
天気は、まずまずの曇り時々晴れ。

集合時間8時10分　札幌テレビ棟インフォメーション前。
でも、バスがたくさんいて、バスを探してしまい、危うく遅刻かと思い電話したら、すぐに対応あり。おかげで、遅刻せず無事ガイドさんと合流。
だいたい時間通りに、動物園へ向けて出発。
日本人は、３人と少なめ。
でも、中国人ガイドさんは慣れた日本語でした。

旭山動物園では、白くまのもぐもぐタイムに参加。
10分ちょっと前に行くと、立ち見の最前列で絶好の場所でした！

もぐもぐタイム前に動物園のスタッフさんがスタンバイすると、白くまがソワソワ。
岩は登ったり、ウロウロ歩いたり。。。
そして、スタート時間にプールはえさの魚が投げ込まれると、白くま大迫力の飛び込みダイブが見られ、観客は大歓声！！
その後は、餌の魚を優雅に泳ぎながら食事していました。
その他、アザラシやキリンのモグモグタイムが見れました。
２時間でしたが、だいたいの動物たちにも会えました♪

次に、富良野へ向かいランチ食べ放題。
北海道ならではのジンギスカンやスープカレー、デザートなど30種類も食べ放題です。
まあ、売店ではラベンダーソフトやメロンも食べれました。

食後は、十勝岳の方向へ向かい、青い池としろひげの滝を堪能しました。
青い池もしろひげの滝も繋がっていて、滝
河　池が全て青くて感動
十勝岳も綺麗に見え、絶景でした！

歩き疲れて、帰りのバスでウトウト。
この間に、運転手さんとガイドさんのおかげで，無事札幌駅へ到着。
一日良い思い出が出来ました！
ありがとうございました！！

I participated with my husband who was on a business trip in Hokkaido. Since we were joining from Tomakomai, we opted for a plan that only included Asahiyama Zoo instead of a plan that covered the Blue Pond and other early morning spots.

During the trip, the guide's stories were entertaining, and at the zoo, we enjoyed curry at the restaurant near the east entrance, inspired by the stories we heard in the car.

I thought three hours would be long, but while watching the orangutan's munching time, we ended up not being able to see everything. However, we truly had a great time.

On the way back, we received discount coupons usable at Sunagawa Service Area, and the Jaga Pokkuru and Hokkaido limited pack (LALALA) that I was planning to buy at the airport were also 10% off, making it a tour that was worth more than the price.

I highly recommend the bus tour!

北海道に出張中の主人と参加しました。　苫小牧から参加なので朝早い青い池等も回るプランより　朝日山動物園だけのプランにしました。
行き帰りの道中　ガイドさんのお話が面白く、動物園では車中でのお話を参考に東入口のレストランでカレーを頂きました。
三時間・・・長いなと思ってまいたがオランウータンのモグモグタイムなどを見てたら　結局全部回り切れない　全部回り切れませんでしたが　本当に楽しめました。
帰りの車中で頂いた砂川SAで使用可能な割引券、空港で購入しようと思ってた　じゃがポックルや　北海道限定のパック（ＬＡＬＡＬＡ）も10％割引になりましたので　お値段以上のツアーとなりました。
バスツアーお勧めです！

Before getting off, I wanted to know that I could choose the place to get off on the way back, and I got off at the mall where the beer factory ruins are located, but it was disappointing that I couldn't enter the factory itself.

降りる前に、欲しかった情報として
帰り降りる場所が選べてビール工場跡のモール
で降りたのに、工場中て中に入れす残念てした。
