All Reviews for Top Hokkaido Attractions

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！！

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。

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。

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 late departure at 9:55, so I was glad to have a little extra time after arriving at the airport. Although there were some places with a bit less sightseeing time, the explanations were clear and easy to understand, which was great.

9:55発で遅い時間の出発だったので、飛行場から着いても少し余裕があって、よかったです。観光時間が少し少ない所もあったけど、解説があってわかりやすくてよかったです。

You can visit multiple attractions like the zoo, and the tour guide's explanations were easy to understand, making for a truly enjoyable day. If I have the chance to go to Sapporo again, I would love to participate again.

動物園など見どころを複数回ってもらえるし、添乗員さんの説明が分かりやすくて、本当に楽しい1日でした。次に札幌行く機会があればまた参加したいです。

I was with people from overseas, and the guide was very attentive, making it a really enjoyable tour. It was fun. Thank you.

海外の方と一緒でしたが、ガイドさんが気配りできる方でとても楽しいツアーでした。
楽しかったです。
ありがとうございます。

I had a great time participating in this course. Although I couldn't see the lavender at Farm Tomita because it was out of season, the other flowers were beautifully arranged, which was nice. The flowers at Shikisai no Oka were on a large scale, and they were planted beautifully, making it quite impressive. It was also crowded.

The Blue Pond stands out with the blue of the sky, and I was able to see the beautiful turquoise pond. It was created by a dam, and I'm curious about how long it will last.

本コースに参加して大変楽しむことができました。
ファーム富田でのラベンダーは時期外れで花を見れなかったが、他の花が綺麗に植彩されていて良かったです。四季彩の丘の花は規模が大きく、花が綺麗に植え付けられ見応えがありました。また混んでいました。
青い池は空の青さが目立ちますが、緑青の綺麗な池を見ることができました。堰堤を作ったためにできた池で、いつまでも残るか気になるところです。

The guide, Mr. Sasa, was incredibly entertaining and shared various stories, making the tour very enjoyable with lots of laughter! Although the lavender season has passed, the Shikisai no Oka and Farm Tomita had many other flowers blooming beautifully! The Blue Pond had a bit of cloud cover, but you could still see the blue, and the clouds reflecting in the pond were lovely as well.

Shikisai no Oka is quite spacious, so I wished we had a little more time, but it was sufficient for taking photos! Since I was seated at the front on the roller coaster road, I could really appreciate the slope and enjoyed it! This bus tour is a great way to quickly explore Furano. I previously cycled from Bibaushi Station during a solo trip, which was quite challenging, so this bus tour was fantastic!

ガイドの笹○さんが最高に面白くて、色々とお話ししてくださるのですが、笑いを交えつつのガイドでとても楽しかったです！
ツアーの内容もラベンダーシーズンは過ぎているものの、四季彩の丘、ファーム富田も他の花がたくさん咲いていてとても綺麗でした！青い池は少し雲が多かったのですが、青いのがわかるし、雲が池に映っていてそれも素敵でした。
四季彩の丘は広いので、もう少しだけ時間があればなとは思いますが写真を撮るだけならば、、と思えば充分でした！
ジェットコースターの道も前の方の座席だったので、勾配がよくわかり楽しめました！
富良野をサクッと回るにはとてもいいバスツアーです♪以前一人旅で美馬牛駅から自転車で回りましたがなかなか大変だったので、このバスツアーは最高でした！

This course efficiently combines popular tourist spots in a compact way. I was able to learn various things from the guide, and I definitely think it was much better than exploring on my own! The lunch was also very good, and at this price, it felt like a great deal. The bus guide and driver were always warm and friendly, making the long tour comfortable and reassuring. Thank you very much.

人気の観光スポットをコンパクトに効率よく組み合わせてくれているコースです。
ガイドで様々なことを知ることも出来ました。自分で巡るより断然良かったと思います！ランチの内容もとても良く、これでこの価格はお得感満載でした。
バスガイドさん、運転手さんも常に温かく声をかけてくださって、長時間のツアーでしたが安心に過ごせました。ありがとうございました。

It was an amazing bus tour beyond my imagination! I was able to fully experience the rich nature of Hokkaido, including Lake Shikotsu, Lake Toya, and Showa Shinzan! The lunch was also luxurious, which surprised me! A red fox appeared along the way, making it a very enjoyable tour! Thank you so much!

想像以上の最高のバスツアーでした！
支笏湖も洞爺湖も昭和新山も北海道の豊かな自然をたっぷり感じることができました！お昼ご飯も豪華で、驚きました！
途中キタキツネも現れて、とても楽しいツアーでした！
本当にありがとうございました♪

This is my first trip to Hokkaido, and since it's a course that's difficult to navigate without a car, I opted for a sightseeing bus tour. Surprisingly, the lunch was delicious, the guide was kind, and it was enjoyable and easy.

初めての北海道旅行ですが、車がないとなかなか自分で行けないコースで、観光バスツアーにしました。案外に、ランチの食事もお美味しかったし、ガイドさんも親切で、良かったし、楽でした。

On that day, I was very happy and enjoyed the refreshing, clear weather. The water along the shore of Lake Shikotsu was very transparent, and I discovered beautiful nature. Lake Toya, often referred to as Hokkaido's Mount Fuji, was visible in the distance, and it was a beautiful sight. Showa Shinzan was something I saw for the first time. It seemed to still convey the fear of its eruptions, which made me feel a bit strange. I hadn't planned to visit the bear ranch, but being able to see the bears up close was an extraordinary experience. I felt like I learned something and perhaps grew a little as a person. The adult bears seemed to be fighting over food, and while it was a bit scary to hear their serious growls up close, it made me reflect on the fact that they are a precious part of the natural world. It made me realize the importance of a balanced environment between humans and nature. (Well, I just thought about it, though.)

当日、爽やかな快晴日和なのも、大変嬉しかったし、楽しかった。支笏湖の岸辺の水はとても透き通っていて、美しい自然を見つけた。洞爺湖は、北海道の富士山と言われる？遠くに見えていたので、それは美しい姿であった。昭和新山は、初めてこの目にするものだった。噴火の怖さをいまだ伝えてきているようで、少し不思議な気持ちになった。クマ牧場は、見ないつもりだったけども、織の中にいるクマを目の当たりに出来たのは、これはこれで、非日常を味わうことが出来て、学びというか、人間として少し成長したかなと、思われます。成獣のクマ同士が、餌の奪い合いだと思いますが、本気の唸り声を間地かで聞けて、怖いというものあったけども、これが自然界に生きている一つの貴重な存在（クマ）ということを、改めて考えさせられた。人間と自然界のバランスの良い環境が必要であると、考えさせられた。（まぁ、考えただけだけどもね）

It was a very satisfying experience to visit famous tourist spots in just one day. The tour mostly consisted of travel time by bus, and the time spent at each sightseeing location was relatively short. I felt that this slight lack of time was actually just right.

I also think it's a unique advantage of the tour that the guide can share points that you wouldn't know if you were going on your own.

１日で有名な観光地を回れ、とても満足できる内容でした。
ツアーは、ほぼバスでの移動時間であり、観光地に滞在する時間は短めです。
このちょっと足りないくらいが、ちょうど良かったかなと思いました。

個人で行くと分からないポイントを添乗員さんが教えてくれるのも
ツアーならではの良さと思います。

I wanted to see the flowers in Hokkaido, so I signed up for a tour. I participated in early September, and although the lavender season was over, I was able to see a wonderful view that looked like a beautiful carpet of flowers. The audio guide was great, but I also enjoyed the stories from the accompanying guide. I heard that there used to be many more tour courses before COVID, so I hope various courses will increase again in the future.

北海道のお花を見たい！と思い申し込みました。
参加したのは9月上旬でラベンダーの最盛期は終わっていましたが、綺麗な花の絨毯が敷かれているような素晴らしい景色を見ることができました。
音声ガイドだけでなく添乗されていたガイドさんのお話も楽しかったです。
コロナ以前はもっとたくさんのツアーコースがあったそうなので、これからまた色々なコースが増えていって欲しいと思いました。

I wasn't expecting much since the lavender season had ended, but I was very satisfied to see such a beautiful flower field. The cheese fondue for lunch was also very delicious, and I was pleased with that. Most importantly, I had a great day even participating alone.

ラベンダーのシーズンが終了していたので期待はしていなかったが、とてもきれいな花畑が見れて満足でした
昼食のチーズフォンデュもとても美味しく満足でした
そして、何より１人参加でも楽しく１日を過ごせました

Asahiyama Zoo is not very large, so I was able to enjoy it fully in just an hour and a half. The Blue Pond was quite blue and left me impressed.

旭山動物園は、規模はそれほど大きくないですので、1時間30分でも、十分に楽しめました。青い池は、かなり青くて感動しました。

Asahiyama Zoo offers a close-up experience with the animals, making it feel very real. Even in September, it was hot, so it's necessary to be prepared with items like sun umbrellas and hats. You have about three and a half hours to explore, so you can take your time.

旭山動物園は動物との距離が近いのでリアルです。
９月でも暑かったので、日傘や帽子など
工夫が必要です。
時間は３時間半ほどありますので､のんびりと回れます。

I participated with my elementary school child. The way the animals were presented was fun and interesting. Since my child loves living creatures, there was a desire to take a bit more time to look around, and I think we could have enjoyed it more if we had one more hour. This time, we had rice balls for lunch and walked around without taking many breaks, but in the end, we hurried back.

小学生の子供と一緒に参加しました。動物たちの見せ方が楽しく興味深かったです。
子どもが生き物好きなため、もっとゆっくり見たかったという気持ちもあり、後1時間あれば満喫できたと思います。
今回は昼食もおにぎりで済ませ、あまり休憩をせずに見て歩いたのですが、最後はあわただしく戻りました。

It was fun to ride around the park on a tractor. I was glad to see various landscapes.

It was perfect for a summer getaway, and I enjoyed it in the cool weather.

トラクターで園内を回ってくれて楽しかった。
色々な景色が見れて良かった。

夏の避暑にはぴったりで涼しく楽しめた。

I didn't have any plans other than watching the Fighters' game, so I looked it up online and decided to join. Unfortunately, the weather was bad, but the rain gradually stopped in the afternoon, and I really enjoyed myself. I was able to visit Furano, the sacred place from "From the Northern Country," stop by the Wine House, and also see the Blue Pond, which is a sacred site for Nogizaka46. I was very satisfied. The tour guide and the driver were kind and entertaining. Thank you very much.

ファイターズの試合を見る以外、何も予定を立てていなかったので、ネットで調べて参加させてもらいました。
生憎の天候でしたが、午後は徐々に雨も上がり、満喫させてもらいました。
「北の国から」の聖地、富良野に行けて、ワインハウスにも寄れて、また、乃木坂46の聖地、青い池も見れて、満足です。
添乗員さん、ドライバーさんも親切で面白かったです。ありがとうございました。

This time, it was a course only to Asahiyama Zoo, so the round-trip bus was new and comfortable, and the stay at the zoo was three and a half hours, which was sufficient.

今回、旭山動物園のみのコースでしたので、往復のバスも新型で快適で、動物園の滞在時間も3時間半あり十分でした

I participated while living in Sapporo, and I found it quite challenging to get there without a car, so I researched and found this tour. I was able to efficiently visit a place I've always wanted to go, and I had a longer stay at the zoo, allowing me to see the animals thoroughly, which was great! Thank you!

札幌在住での参加でしたが、自分で車無しで行こうとすると結構大変な道のりでしたので、調べてこちらのツアーに辿り着きました。
いつか行きたい場所に効率よく行けて、かつ動物園の滞在時間も長めで、隅々まで動物を見られて良かったです！
ありがとうございました！

The guide was kind and made an effort to entertain us, which made for a wonderful trip. Personally, I didn't know much about Shikisai no Oka before participating, but it turned out to be much more enjoyable than I expected! The meal at Furano Wine House was delicious, and it was a valuable experience as well! Since there were international guests with us, we had audio guides, but I learned a lot about Hokkaido, even things I didn't know despite living in Sapporo. I'm really glad I participated. Thank you!

ガイドさんが親切かつ楽しませようとして下さる方で、お陰様で素敵な旅になりました。
個人的には四季彩の丘のことをあまり知らなく参加したのですが、思ったよりも数段楽しく行けて良かったです！
ふらのワインハウスでの食事も美味しく、こちらも貴重な機会となりました！
海外の方もご一緒でしたので音声ガイドも入りつつでしたが、札幌在住でも知らない北海道のことを詳しく知られて、参加して本当に良かったと思っております。ありがとうございました！

The smooth gathering led us to a lunch where we enjoyed delicious hamburgers at a table with a great view. Although it was an extra charge, the grape juice was rich and tasty as well. We were able to move efficiently to the places we wanted to visit in Furano and Biei, and we had enough free time to look for souvenirs and enjoy soft serve ice cream, which everyone seemed to enjoy. It might have been a coincidence, but most of the people I was with were Japanese. The bus announcements were available in four languages, so I think foreign guests were able to enjoy it too. Everyone was well-mannered, and I was impressed that everyone was seated before the gathering time, allowing us to depart on time. The guide occasionally provided explanations beyond the audio guide, and the driver drove safely, allowing us to feel at ease throughout the trip. We were blessed with good weather and had a wonderful day enjoying Furano and Biei.

集合からスムーズで、さっそく向かった昼食は見晴らしの良いお席で美味しいハンバーグをいただきました。別料金でしたがブドウジュースも濃厚で美味しかったです。富良野、美瑛の行きたかったところに効率よく移動できて、自由時間もそれなりに確保できているのでお土産を探したりソフトクリームを食べたり皆さん楽しんでいました。たまたまかもしれませんがご一緒した方々はほとんどが日本人でした。バスの中の案内は4カ国語に対応していたので外国の方も楽しめたと思います。皆さんマナーが良く毎度集合時間前には全員が着席して時間通りに出発できたのには感心しました。ガイドさんは時折音声ガイド以外の説明もしてくださいましたし、ドライバーの方も安全運転で終始安心して過ごすことができました。
お天気にも恵まれて富良野、美瑛を満喫した1日でした。

I chose a course that only included Asahiyama Zoo. Since I love zoos, three hours wasn't enough, but I had a great time. The bus guide provided various insights, which were very helpful. Next time I come to Hokkaido, I would like to book a tour again. They also make sure to stop at souvenir shops.

旭山動物園だけのコースを選択しました
動物園好きなので、3時間じゃ足りなかったけど、とても楽しかったです
バスガイドさんが、いろいろガイドしてくださり、とても参考になりました
次回、北海道に来た際も、またツアーを申し込みたいです
ちゃんと、お土産屋さんにも寄ってくださいます

A day trip bus tour from Sapporo to Furano and Biei. The weather started off cloudy, but gradually cleared up, allowing us to enjoy the day in a pleasantly cool atmosphere.
The first destination of the tour was Farm Tomita, famous for its lavender. Although we missed the peak blooming season, the vast lavender fields, dyed in purple, filled the air with a sweet and refreshing fragrance, which was very soothing. We also got to taste lavender soft serve ice cream, fully indulging our senses in Furano.
The most impressive part of the tour was Shikisai no Oka. On the gentle hills, colorful flower fields spread out like a patchwork quilt, and I was overwhelmed by the sheer scale of it. With the weather improving and the blue sky appearing, the vibrancy of the flowers stood out even more. Riding a cart around the hills was enjoyable, and every view was picture-perfect.
Finally, we visited the mystical Blue Pond. The surface shimmered in an incredibly vivid cobalt blue, creating a fantastical atmosphere against the backdrop of the dead trees. I was captivated by its beauty, even more than I had seen in photos.
I was a bit worried at the start with the cloudy sky, but the latter part of the day was sunny, leading to breathtaking views and making it a truly memorable day. I will especially never forget the scenery at Shikisai no Oka. It was a wonderful bus tour that allowed us to experience the vast nature of Hokkaido.

札幌から出発した富良野・美瑛への日帰りバスツアー。当日の天気は曇り空から始まりましたが、次第に晴れ間が広がり、最終的には心地よい涼しさの中で一日を過ごすことができました。
ツアーの最初の目的地は、ラベンダーで有名なファーム富田です。見頃は少し過ぎていたものの、紫色に染まった広大なラベンダー畑からは、甘く爽やかな香りが漂ってきて、とても癒されました。ラベンダーソフトクリームも味わうことができ、五感で富良野を満喫しました。
そして、このツアーで最も感動したのが四季彩の丘です。なだらかな丘の上に、色とりどりの花畑がまるでパッチワークのように広がっており、そのスケールの大きさに圧倒されました。天気が回復して青空が広がったこともあり、花々の鮮やかさが一層際立って見えました。カートに乗って丘を巡るのも楽しく、どこを切り取っても絵になる絶景でした。
最後に訪れたのは、あの神秘的な青い池でした。水面が信じられないほど鮮やかなコバルトブルーに輝き、立ち枯れた木々とのコントラストが幻想的な雰囲気を生み出していました。写真で見ていた以上の美しさに、ただただ見入ってしまいました。
曇り空のスタートで少し心配でしたが、後半は晴れて最高の景色に出会え、とても思い出に残る一日になりました。特に四季彩の丘の景色は忘れられそうにありません。北海道の広大な自然を肌で感じられる、素晴らしいバスツアーでした。

During my trip staying in Sapporo, I really wanted to visit Asahiyama Zoo, so I signed up for a tour. The bus was comfortable, and the guide's stories were interesting, making the journey enjoyable. The meeting place in the morning was easy to find, but no staff came outside even when it was time to gather, which made me a bit anxious until the bus arrived.

札幌に宿泊の旅行中に、どうしても旭山動物園に行きたくてツアーに申し込みました。バスは快適で、ガイドさんの話も面白くて道中も楽しめました。
朝の集合場所はわかりやすいのですが、集合時間になってもスタッフの方は誰も外に来ず、乗るバスが来るまで少し不安でした。

The lunch was delicious. I was able to enjoy the vast land, large trees, and colorful flowers. It's a shame that the lavender season had ended.

ランチが美味しかったです。広大な大地、大きな木、色鮮やかな花々を満期できた。ラベンダーの季節が終わっていたのが残念。

I traveled to Hokkaido on a bullet train. Since I had limited time, I thought about how to make the most of my day and came up with this plan. It turned out to be a great decision.

In the city, everywhere in Japan feels the same. Since I came to Hokkaido, I wanted to experience nature. Everything was, of course, wonderful.

For lunch, I chose an all-you-can-eat melon, but it seemed like everyone was securing multiple melons even before the meal. I thought it was supposed to be that you eat one after finishing your meal and then get more if you wanted. It was frustrating to see so many people being greedy from the start, and it made me feel uncomfortable dining with them. Their greed was overwhelming. Even my child didn’t take dessert at the beginning.

I can only accept that it’s unavoidable to have foreign guests behaving that way.

The tour guide was wonderful. She was charming, had a lovely voice, and was very skilled in both languages.

The person I am most grateful to is the driver. He drove with great care for the passengers throughout the trip. On mountain roads, bumpy paths, and slopes, his driving made it feel like there was no gear shifting. When we returned from breaks, he always greeted us with "Welcome back," which, while it may seem like a small thing, made me feel very comfortable.

Thank you for the 10 hours of driving. I would like to use your services again.

弾丸で北海道へ。時間が無いためどうしたら一日を有意義に過ごせるか考えてこのプランへ。結果大正解でした。
街中なんか日本全国どこも同じ。北海道に来たからには自然を味わいたい。
どこも当然素晴らしい。
ランチですが、メロン食べ放題を選んだのですが、食事前から何個も確保してる方々ばかり。
本来は食事が終わって1つ食べて、また食べたかったらおかわりするものではないかと。
最初から欲張る方々ばかりで、一緒に食事するのに嫌悪感感じました。欲張り方が半端ない。
我が子供でさえ最初からデザートは取りません。
そういった外国の方も一緒なのも仕方ないと思うしかありません。
そして添乗員の方が素晴らしい。愛嬌あり、声も可愛く、二ヶ国語がとてもお上手でした。
一番感謝申し上げたいのはドライバーさんです。終始丁寧に乗客の事を考えて下さる運転でした。
山道や、ガタガタ道、坂道、ギアチェンジを感じさせない運転、休憩から帰ると、おかえりなさい、と、必ず声をかけて下さり、当然の事かもしれませんがとても安心して過ごす事が出来ました。
10時間の運転、ありがとうございました。また利用させて頂きたいと思います。
