All Reviews for Top Hokkaido Attractions

The driving was rough, and the attitude was unfriendly. Even when I said "please" and greeted them, there was silence... I at least wanted them to greet me back. Their outfit looked like casual wear, and since they smoked a cigarette during the break and got back in the vehicle right away, the smell of smoke filled the car. The guide, although not completely fluent in Japanese, did their best to explain, which was nice. The time spent at Asahiyama Zoo was too short, so I think it might be okay to skip the Seven Stars tree.

運転が荒くて、愛想が悪かったです。
お願いしますと挨拶しても、無言…
せめて挨拶くらいはして欲しかった。
服装も普段着みたいな格好で、休憩の際タバコを喫煙されてすぐに乗車されるため、タバコの匂いも充満しました。
ガイドのお兄さんは日本語がまだ完全ではないながらも、一生懸命説明してくださり
よかったです。
旭山動物園の滞在時間が短過ぎてたので、セブンスターの木は、特に省いても良いかなーと思います。

The zoo was nice, but I thought the slopes throughout the park might be tough for the elderly. I think it would be even better if they could allow for a more relaxed schedule. I believe it will be quite sweaty once June arrives. I opted for a plan without lunch, but I had to wait quite a while after buying the meal ticket, so I was cutting it close for lunchtime.

動物園は良かったのですが、園内は坂道ばかりで年寄りにはきついかなと思います。
もう少しゆったり回れる時間配分にしてもらうと更にいいと思います。
６月に入ったら汗だくになると思います。
昼食無しプランにしたのですが、食券を買ってかなり待たされたので昼食時間ギリギリでした。

It was great to see polar bears and seals up close, as well as Giraffe-san. I recommend the soft serve ice cream from the vendor outside the main gate. I was very satisfied to see the Blue Pond and Shiraito Falls.

シロクマやアザラシにきりんさんと近くで見れていいです
正門外の売店のソフトクリームおすすめ
青い池や白糸の滝まで見れて大満足でした

This was my first trip to Hokkaido, so I signed up for this tour. Among the 18 participants, only my husband and I, along with another couple, were Japanese. The foreign participants were also very respectful of manners, making it a very comfortable experience. I was grateful for the attentiveness of both the guide and the driver.

In the hotel lobby where we gathered, there were several other tour guides from the same company, making it difficult to find our tour guide. I had to ask about three people to locate them.

初めての北海道旅行でしたのでこちらのツアーに申し込みしました。
参加者が18名の内日本人は私達夫婦ともう一組のご夫婦だけでした。外国の方もマナーを守っておられてとても快適に参加できまし。
ガイドさんも運転手さんも色々と気を配っていてありがたかったです。

集合場所のホテルロビーで同じ会社の別のツアーガイドさんが何人がいたので参加ツアーのガイドさんを見つけるのが大変で3人ほど声をかけました。

I would like to make the following comments:
1. I wish we could have spent a bit more time at Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya. Especially at Lake Toya, since there is a lunch break, it might be tough, but if we had a little more time, I would have liked to take a sightseeing boat ride.
2. I understand that the toilet breaks are necessary, but before lunch at "Mushroom Kingdom," the guide recommended "mushroom soup," which I tried. However, the miso soup at lunch by Lake Toya was also "mushroom soup." I think there is room for reconsideration regarding the location and timing of the toilet breaks.
3. The guide from Chuo Bus was pleasant and friendly, just like during the half-day course I participated in last year (2024). I really felt their professionalism.

以下コメントさせていただきます。
①支笏湖、洞爺湖の滞在時間をもう少し取ってもらいたかった。
　特に洞爺湖は昼食時間があるので、厳しいのかと思いますが、
　もう少し時間があれば、観光船への乗車をしたかったです。
②トイレ休憩の関係もあるので、致し方なしと思いますが、
　昼食前の「きのこ王国」でガイドさんから「きのこ汁」を進められたので、
　食したのですが、洞爺湖の昼食の味噌汁も「きのこ汁」でした。
　トイレ休憩の場所と時間は、再考の余地ありと思いました。
③中央バスのガイドさんは、去年(2024年)参加した半日コースの時も、
　今回の時も感じが良く、親近感を持って接してくれるところは、
　さすがにプロだと思いました。

It was unfortunately rainy, but it was great that they took us by bus. Both the guide and the driver were very pleasant, and we had a very meaningful time. Personally, I really enjoyed the bear ranch! It was adorable to see them catch cookies!

あいにくの雨でしたが、バスで連れて行ってくれるのはよいことです。
ガイドさんもドライバーも感じのよい方々で大変有意義な時間を過ごせました。
個人的にはクマ牧場が楽しかったです！
クッキーをナイスキャッチする姿が可愛いかったです！

It was a fulfilling day! The number of participants in the tour was fewer than I expected, but it was great to visit various places rather than going around individually. Lake Shikotsu was very beautiful. I initially didn't have high expectations for lunch, but it turned out to be really luxurious and delicious. If I have the opportunity to come again, I would like to try other tours as well!

充実した一日になりました！
ツアーに参加した人数は思っていたより少なかったですが、あちこち個人でまわるよりいろんなところに行けたのはとても良かったです。支笏湖はとても美しかったです。昼食は、はじめはそんなに期待してなかったのですが、本当に豪華で美味しかったです。また来る機会があれば、他のツアーにも参加してみたいと思います！

I stopped by the four shops because they had different souvenirs. Just be careful about running out of time at the end.

売店4店舗ちがうお土産があるので寄りました。
最後時間切れに注意です。
🐻ྀི🐻ྀི🐻ྀིゾーンをダッシュで通りました。

The timing of the trip was a bit early.
The hamburger for lunch was very delicious.
It rained lightly in the afternoon, but overall it was enjoyable.

旅行の時期が少し早かったです。
昼食のハンバーグはとても美味しかったです。
午後に小雨でしたが概ね楽しかったです。

It was a very enjoyable bus tour.
At Asahiyama Zoo, we were able to see the polar bear's feeding time. If we had a little more time, we could have seen the feeding times of various animals—what a shame!
The Blue Pond was really blue. (@_@)
Shirahige Falls was also beautiful.
Our tour guide, the charming Ayaki, was fun.
Thank you to the driver for sharing so much information with us.

たいへん楽しいバスツアーでした。
旭山動物園ではホッキョクグマのもぐもぐタイムを見れました。もう少し時間が有ればいろんな動物のもぐもぐタイムを見れたのに〜残念！
青い池はホントに青かったです。(@_@。
白鬚の滝も綺麗でした。
添乗員の艷やかな艶輝さん楽しかったです。
運転手の方もいろいろとお教え戴きありがとうございました。

It was great to efficiently visit the main tourist spots from Asahiyama Zoo to Furano and Biei. The guide who accompanied us (Chinese, I couldn't catch their name) provided a clear and easy-to-understand explanation in polite Japanese, and we also enjoyed the experience of having a simultaneous interpretation in English and Chinese, which made us feel like we were abroad. On the way back, we even encountered a red fox by chance. I plan to use this service again if I have the opportunity.

旭山動物園から富良野～美瑛方面主要観光スポットを効率よく回れてとても良かったです。添乗してくれた方（中国人、名前聞き取れなかった（涙））のガイドも丁寧な日本語で分かりやすく、またひとり同時通訳で英語、中国語と３か国語のガイドで海外の気分も味わえました。帰りの道では、偶然キタキツネにも遭遇しました。機会がありましたらまた利用しようと思います。

The tour started on time. Our tour guide, Tou, is knowledgeable, and his ability to speak three languages was very helpful for us to understand the information about the sites we visited. He is a true asset! Please extend our big thank you to Tou for being patient with us and for recommending the best ice cream to try (Kitakaro) at Sapporo Airport! Also, a big thank you to our driver.

The blue lake was awesome! A must-visit site in Biei!

It was my first visit to Asahiyama Zoo in 10 years. The bus was comfortable, the guide's explanations were easy to understand, and the zoo was not crowded, so I was able to enjoy it thoroughly, even having extra time to spare. On top of that, I was able to hear the clock tower's bell at 6:00 PM, which was a nice bonus.

10年ぶりの旭山動物園でした。バスもゆったり、添乗員さんの説明もわかりやすく動物園も空いていた為時間を持て余すくらい十二分に楽しめました。おまけに、時計台の18:00の鐘も聞くことができ、お得(?)でした。

The weather was wonderful, and the content of this bus tour was excellent. I accompanied my family on a work trip to Hokkaido and enjoyed my free time to the fullest. The female bus driver drove carefully, and the tour guide was friendly, very kind, and had enjoyable conversations, making for a pleasant trip. Thank you very much. I definitely want to participate in the tour again.

お天気にも恵まれ、今回のバスツアーの内容にも恵まれて最高でした。
家族の仕事で北海道に帯同して自由な時間を満喫しました。
女性バスドライバーさんの運転は丁寧、添乗員さんは親しみやすくとても親切でトークも楽しく気持ちの良い旅行を過ごさせていただきありがとうございました。
又、必ずツアーに参加したいと思います。

The weather wasn't great, but I was able to enjoy everything. Mr. Wang spoke in three languages, making it a worldwide trip, and at the blue pond, which I wanted to visit the most, the rain stopped, and I was able to see the beautiful blue— it was amazing! We disbanded almost on time; it was a good trip. Thank you very much.

お天気があまりでしたが、全て楽しむことが出来ました。王さんが3ヶ国語で喋って下さり、ワールドワイドな旅でしたし、1番行きたかった青い池では雨も止み、綺麗なブルーを見ることができて最高でした！
ほぼ時間通りに解散、いい旅でした。
ありがとうございました。

I used this service for a family trip. When I communicated the places I wanted to visit in advance, they thoughtfully considered the travel time and planned accordingly. On the day of the trip, they even took us to good spots along the way and suggested new sightseeing locations when it seemed we had some extra time. We enjoyed a fun day filled with informative and interesting stories about Hokkaido while in the car. My parents seemed to have a great time as well. I would like to request their tour guidance again the next time I go sightseeing!

家族旅行で利用しました。
行きたいところを事前にお伝えすると、丁寧に所要時間やプランを考えていただきました。
また当日は行く道中に良いスポットがあると立ち寄っていただけましたし、少し時間が余りそうだと新たな観光場所をご提案いただけました。
車内でも北海道に関する為になるお話、面白いお話で楽しい１日を過ごすことができました。
両親も満喫できたようです。
また次に観光するときには、観光案内をお願いしたいです！

The scenery from Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya was very beautiful!
Also, I enjoyed a delicious lunch.
Thank you! 😊

支笏湖、洞爺湖からの風景とても良かったです♪
また、昼食も美味しく頂きました。
ありがとうございました😊

You can experience the two wonders of moss phlox and tulips at once. The moss phlox soft serve ice cream and croquettes are also delicious. It was enjoyable for the eyes and satisfying for the stomach.

芝桜とチューリップ二つの感動を一度で味わえる
芝桜ソフトクリームやコロッケも美味しい
目で楽しんでお腹も楽しめた

The moss phlox and tulips were in full bloom, and the weather was great, so I had an amazing time. The guide was very attentive, and I was extremely satisfied! I definitely want to use this service again. Thank you!

芝桜もチューリップも満開で天気も良かったので最高に楽しかったです。
ガイドさんもとても親身で大満足です！
また是非利用したいと思います。
ありがとうございました！

The moss phlox was almost in full bloom, and I was able to enjoy its fragrance. There were many different varieties of tulips, and they were very beautiful. Although the bus ride was quite long, it was a great bus trip.

芝桜ほぼ満開で香りも楽しめました。
チューリップも色々な種類があってとても綺麗でした。バス走行距離ありましたが良いバス旅でした。

I'm glad I participated at this time. The staff in Takikawa also said it was the best time of year! Just as they mentioned, I enjoyed the amazing scenery and fragrance to the fullest♪

この時期に参加して良かったです。
滝上町の職員さんも最高の時期ですよ！
っておっしゃっていた通り最高の景色と香りを満喫しました♪

I signed up for two different tours on consecutive days, and coincidentally, the same tour guide was with us. Asahiyama Zoo was sweltering, reaching nearly 29°C, and both the animals and I were exhausted. However, after that, the Patchwork Road was cool, and the Shirahige Falls were almost cold. The driver shared interesting facts about Hokkaido, making it a fun trip even on my own.

２日連続で別のツアーに申し込み、偶然同じ添乗員さんでした
旭山動物園が29℃に迫るほどの暑さで動物たちも自分もぐったり
でもその後のパッチワークの道以降は涼しく、白ひげの滝は寒いくらいでした
運転手さんが北海道の豆知識を教えてくださったり、ひとりでも楽しい旅行になりました

I only understood it was an optional tour site for overseas visitors after participating. There were many foreigners around, and only four Japanese people… However, the guide translated expertly in three languages, so there was no inconvenience at all.

The only downside was that the bus's air conditioning was a bit too strong, and I honestly felt cold at times, which made me a little worried about catching a cold again. But I was satisfied to see the beautiful moss phlox and nearly full-bloom tulips. Thank you very much. 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♀️

海外向けのオプショナルツアーサイトだと参加して初めて理解しました。周りは外国の方々が多く日本人は４人だけでした…でもガイドの方が三カ国後を上手に訳されていて不便さは全くありませんでした。

残念なことはバスのクーラーが少々強くて正直寒く感じる事があり、風邪が、ぶり返さないかとちょっと心配でした。
でも美しい芝桜とほぼ満開のチューリップを目にすることができ満足でした。
ありがとうございました🙇‍♂️🙇‍♀️

A family trip to Hokkaido for five people.
It was a bus tour from Sapporo that allowed us to fully enjoy Asahiyama Zoo for a whole day.
Even though it was during Golden Week, there was no traffic, and the drive was smooth, which was great and stress-free.
It was nice to hear the fun talk from the bus guide again after a long time, and the nostalgic Showa vibe was pleasant.
I’m looking forward to enjoying another sightseeing bus tour next time! ♪

家族5人の北海道旅行。
札幌からのバスツアー、旭山動物園をしっかり一日楽しめるツアーでした。
ＧＷでしたが、渋滞も無くスムーズにドライブ頂き、ストレス無く良かったです。
バスガイドさんの楽しいトークも、久しぶりに聞けて、昭和な感じも良かったです。
また、次回も観光バス楽しみにしております♪

It was great that we could efficiently visit places we wouldn't normally go to on our own through the bus tour. We even experienced a blizzard at high altitudes, which allowed us to fully enjoy Hokkaido. The lunch was also a well-balanced meal, and I was very satisfied.

It was a very cold day, but both Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya were very beautiful. The view from Mount Usu was also wonderful, and I was very satisfied.

とても寒い日でしたが、支笏湖、洞爺湖ともとてもきれいでした。
有珠山からの眺めも素晴らしく、大満足でした。

At first, I was planning to take the train from Sapporo, but as I researched, I found it quite far and time-consuming, so I discovered this tour. It’s really convenient since you just sit back and get taken there without any hassle.

On this day, the road conditions were very good, and we arrived much earlier than expected, which gave us more time for sightseeing—what a lucky break! The guide was also a fun and kind person.

I had heard that the penguin walk only happens in the morning in March, so I had given up on that, but to my surprise, they held the walk in the afternoon too! It was a delightful surprise.

I highly recommend this tour for anyone considering visiting Asahiyama Zoo from Sapporo.

はじめは札幌から電車で行くつもりでしたが、ずいぶん遠くて時間もかかるなぁと調べているうちに、こちらのツアーを発見。
迷わず座っているだけで連れて行ってもらえるので楽ちんです。
この日は道路事情がとても良くずいぶん早く到着したため、見学できる時間が予定よりも長くなってラッキーでした♪
ガイドさんも楽しく親切な方でした。
3月はペンギンのお散歩は午前のみと聞いていたので諦めていましたが、まさかの午後もお散歩開催！
嬉しいサプライズでした。
札幌拠点の観光の方で旭山動物園を検討されている方には、是非オススメしたいツアーです。

I thought it was cold, but it didn't bother me.
I enjoyed the ropeway at Mount Usu.
Everyone was punctual, and the movement and shopping went smoothly without any concerns.

寒いと思ったが.気にならなかった。
有珠山の.ロープウェイ楽しめたね。
時間も皆さん確実に守り移動.買い物も.気にならず.スムーズだった。

It was cloudy when I left Sapporo. I'm glad I didn't get caught in the rain. The wind was strong everywhere, but it was very beautiful. It was my first time participating, and it was great. I want to go again in the summer.

札幌出る時曇りでした
雨に合わずよかったです
どこも風が強かったけど
とっても綺麗でしたー
初めて参加でしたがよかったです
次は夏に行きたいです

It was a very fulfilling day because my child loves animals. Above all, the stories from the bus guide were very educational, making the travel time incredibly valuable.

子供が動物大好きなので、とても充実した1日でした。
何よりバスガイドさんのお話がとても勉強になる内容ばかりで、移動時間も大変貴重な時間でした。
