All Reviews for Furano & Biei Tours

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。

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 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。

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。

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 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 enjoyed the Aoiike Course from Sapporo. Although it was a bit rainy and cloudy on the day, the guide's stories were so enjoyable that time flew by. We had many interesting conversations, and despite the terrible weather, I had a very fun day. It was great!

札幌から、青池コースを楽しみました。
当日は、雨やや曇りで残念でしたが、ガイドさんの話が楽しくて、時間が過ぎるのがあっと言う間でした。、沢山たくさん色々な話をしていただけて、天候は最悪でしたが、とても楽しい１日を過ごせました。楽しかったです

I was able to efficiently enjoy the best views. The lunch was delicious, and the tour guide was very nice and attentive.

最高の景色を効率良く回る事が出来ました。
ランチも美味しかったし、添乗員さんもとても良い方で気配りに感心しました。

It was a fun day.
Thank you to the guide and the driver.
The food was delicious, and I was very satisfied with the scenery.
However, it was disappointing that the restroom at Rokkatei was dirty in the early morning. Since they handle food, it really needs to be clean...
I was put off by it.

楽しい一日でした。
ガイドさん、運転手さんありがとうございました。
食事も美味しくて、景色も大変満足しました。
ただ、午前中の早い時間でしたが、六花亭のトイレが汚れていて残念でした。やはり食べ物を扱っているので清潔でないと…
私は、引いてしまいました。

Although the weather was unfortunately rainy, I was able to enjoy highlights at each place I visited. This was definitely more efficient than exploring on my own, making it a great choice for a short trip. I would like to revisit the Blue Pond on a sunny day, but I was satisfied with the photos I took that captured the essence of Hokkaido. This was my first time participating in a bus tour, and I would like to use this service again.

雨で生憎の天気でしたが、行った先々ではポイントを押さえた楽しみができ、これはやっぱり自分で探して行くよりも効率良く、滞在の短い旅行では大正解でした。
青い池は天気の良い時に再訪したいと思いましたが、北海道らしい写真が、バッチリ撮れて満足です。
バスツアーは、初めて参加しました。
また利用したいです。

The Blue Pond was truly beautiful. I was moved! Since there are relatively few overseas visitors now, I feel like I can take my time to enjoy it.

青い池　本当に綺麗でした。
感激しました！
今は　海外の方も少ないので
比較的　ゆっくりと見れる気がします。

It was my first trip to the Furano and Biei area. The weather was great, and I truly enjoyed the breathtaking scenery and the magnificent nature of Hokkaido throughout the day (*ﾟ▽ﾟ*). Considering the distance from Sapporo, I initially wondered if it was possible to see so much in one day, but the guidance was excellent. They also took great care to ensure we had enough restroom breaks, and I enjoyed a delicious hamburger and a mini cheese fondue set for lunch. Additionally, we even had time for souvenir shopping at Rokkatei Campagne in Furano, making for a wonderfully luxurious and relaxing day. I'm so grateful!!

初めての富良野・美瑛方面への旅でした。
お天気もよく、目を見張るばかりの本当に素晴らしい風景、北海道の大自然を満喫できた1日でした(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)
札幌からの距離を考えると、1日でこんなに周れるのかしら？と最初は思うほどでしたが、ほんとに上手にご案内下さって、それでいてトイレ休憩とかも十分配慮して下さって、お腹も美味しいハンバーグとプチチーズフォンデュセットをいただいて、また、途中富良野の六花亭カンパーニュでお土産タイムまで一緒に組んであるという、なんとも贅沢でのどかな1日でした。感謝です！！

We were blessed with weather that could be called the last warmth of the year! Although the lavender season has passed, the colorful flowers were blooming beautifully! The blue pond was also breathtakingly beautiful and left me in awe!

The bus guide and the driver were both kind, and the bus tour, which allowed us to efficiently visit the sightseeing spots, was fantastic!

Since the day of participation was my birthday, it became a wonderful memory! Thank you very much.

今年最後の温かさと言ってもよいほどお天気に恵まれました♪
ラベンダーの時期は過ぎてしまいましたが、色とりどりのお花が咲いていてとっても綺麗！青い池も神秘的な美しさで感動しました！

今回のバスガイドさんも運転手さんも優しくて、さらに効率的に観光スポットを回れるバスツアーは最高ですね♪

参加日がお誕生日だったので良い思い出になりました♪
ありがとうございました。

The bus guide spoke earnestly the whole time, and I gained a deep understanding of the history and culture of the places we visited, which made me feel a strong attachment to them.

バスガイドさんがずーっと、一生懸命お話をしてくれて、訪問地の歴史文化、成り立ちがとてもわかり　愛着が湧きました。

It was my first bus tour. The weather wasn't perfect, but to make up for it, the guide and the driver were truly wonderful people, and I had a pleasant day. I think it has been tough for the past 2-3 years due to COVID-19, and I sincerely hope that these unique bus tours in Japan will continue to survive. Thank you for your hard work, and thank you very much.

初めてのバスツアーでした。
お天気は100%ではありませんでしたが、それを補うかのように、ガイドさんと運転士さんが本当にいい方々で、気持ち良い一日を過ごさせていただきました。
コロナでこの2~3年大変だったと思います、これからもこの様な日本ならではのバスツアーが生き延びることを心から祈ってます。
ご苦労様でした、ありがとうございました。

I participated in a trip for my mother's birthday with just the two of us. Since my mother wanted to see the flower fields at Shikisai no Oka and public transportation was inconvenient since she can't drive, we considered joining a tour. In the end, it was a great decision! The flower fields were the main attraction, but the guide's stories along the way were also fascinating, the lunch was delicious, and the content was fulfilling, leaving both my mother and me very satisfied. Thank you!

母の誕生日旅行で母娘2人で参加しました。母が四季彩の丘のお花畑を見たいということで、運転できないと公共交通が不便なこともあり、ツアーへの参加を検討しました。結果、大正解でした！お花畑が目的でしたが、ガイドさんの道中のお話も興味深く、お昼ごはんも美味しく、コンテンツが充実していて母も私も大満足です。ありがとうございました！

I participated with some anxiety due to the rain forecast, but I was truly lucky to complete the entire itinerary without any rain. The blue pond, which I was most looking forward to, exceeded my expectations, and I was very satisfied. I am grateful for the driver who accompanied us from the start, as well as the guide, whose explanations were clear and provided us with a wealth of knowledge. It was a long day, but I was able to spend a very fulfilling and enriching day.

あめの予報で、不安ながら参加しましたが、なんとか１日雨降ることなく全行程をクリアできたのは本当にラッキーでした。一番楽しみにしていた青い池も想像以上の場で、大満足。出発から同行してくださってる運転手さんは、もちろんのこと、ガイドさんの説明もわかりやすくいろいろな知識をいただき感謝です。長い１日でしたが、非常に濃く充実した日を過ごすことができました。

Farm Tomita and Shikisai no Oka were beautiful with flowers throughout the seasons. In particular, the view of the flower fields from the top of Shikisai no Oka was spectacular. The blue pond had a mysterious and beautiful color. The lunch was varied and delicious. The guide's explanations were rich in topics and very good. Both the bus and the restaurant for lunch had no shared seating with other groups, allowing for a comfortable and安心して快適に過ごすことができました.

ファーム富田と四季彩の丘は四季折々の花々できれいでした。
特に四季彩の丘は、丘の上から見る花畑が絶景でした。
青い池は池の色が神秘的できれいでした。
昼食もバラエティー豊かで美味しかったです。
ガイドさんの説明は話題が豊富でとても良かったです。
バス車内も昼食のレストランもグループ単位で相席が無く、安心して快適に過ごすことができました。

Furano was absolutely amazing! The lavender was finished, but other flowers were blooming and they were very beautiful! The bus guide's explanations were easy to understand, and I enjoyed the journey as well. I want to go again.

富良野とても最高でした！ラベンダーは終わってましたが、他の花が咲いていてとても綺麗でした！バスガイドさんの説明がわかりやすく、移動中も楽しめました。また、行きたいです。

While laughing at the bus guide's lively talk, we visited the sightseeing spots! The time was just right, not too short or too long! I was healed at the alpaca farm in Shikisai no Oka.

It was more fun than I imagined, so I was truly moved!

バスガイドさんのテンポの良いトークに笑っている間に見学にスポットに！
時間も短すぎず長すぎず、ちょうど良かったです！
四季彩の丘のアルパカ牧場で癒されました〜

想像以上に楽しかったので感動です！

The Blue Pond had well-maintained paths, allowing us to see the beautiful pond. At the Shikisai no Oka, we rode on a unique vehicle that resembled a tractor (for a fee), and we could see the magnificent landscape in the distance, along with many flowers. I think July is the best time to visit.

青い池は、道がきちんと整備されており、美しい池を
みることができた。四季彩の丘では、トラクターみたいな変わった
乗り物（有料でした）に乗って、壮大な風景が遠くに見えて、そして
たくさんの花々が見えました。7月が一番いいと思います。

The guide and the driver were both kind, and it was great to efficiently visit the highlights of summer in Hokkaido! There was also hand sanitizer available each time, and infection control measures were in place!

ガイドさんも運転手さんめ優しくて、効率的に夏の北海道の見どころを回れてよかったです！毎回手指消毒もあり感染対策もなされてました！

I had wanted to visit the Blue Pond for a long time. It was mystical and absolutely amazing! Since we had about 40 minutes, I was able to take my time and take photos, which made me very satisfied. At Tomita Farm, the lavender was already finished, but at Shikisai no Oka, the colorful flowers were very beautiful, almost like a postcard.

In particular, we were able to stop by the headquarters of Rokkatei, and the view of Ezo Fuji and the magnificent scenery from there was stunning. The guide was calm and explained various things thoroughly. At the end, I asked for recommendations for delicious sushi places, and they kindly provided me with information. The driver was also young and very pleasant. I highly recommend it!

以前から行ってみたかった青い池。神秘的で最高でした❣️約40分あったので、ゆっくり回れて写真も撮れて、満足でした。富田ファームは、ラベンダーが終わっておりましたが、四季彩の丘は色とりどりの花がとても美しく、まるで絵はがきのようでした。
とりわけ、六花亭の本社に寄っていただけたのですが、そこから見る蝦夷富士や、雄大な景色がとても美しいかったです。
ガイドさんも、落ち着いていてしっかりいろんなことを説明してくださり、最後に私がおいしいお寿司の店とかお聞きしたのですが丁寧に教えてくださいました。運転手さんも若くで感じの良い方でした。ぜひお勧めです❣️

In mid-August, my mother and I participated. The weather was cloudy with occasional rain throughout the day, but unlike the hot and humid place we usually live in, the climate was comfortable, and we were able to efficiently visit the tourist spots, which was great. The lunch was delicious, the portion sizes were just right, and the guide's explanations were easy to understand. Thank you very much.

8月中旬に母娘で参加です。天気は一日中曇り時々雨でしたが、普段住んでいる蒸し暑い地方と違って気候が過ごしやすく、効率的に観光地を回る事ができてよかったです。ランチも美味しく、量もちょうど良かったし、ガイドさんの説明もよく分かりました。ありがとうございました。

I participated in the tour in mid-July, during the peak blooming season for flowers. Although the weather was unfortunate, the lavender fields, Shikisai no Oka, and the Blue Pond were all beautifully impressive. The driver and guide were very pleasant people, and I had a fun and enjoyable day. I think it was a very fulfilling tour.

　7月中旬、お花が見頃の時期に参加しました。あいにくのお天気でしたが、それでもラベンダー、四季彩の丘、青い池、いずれも美しく見応えがありました。ドライバー、ガイドさんも大変感じのいい人で、楽しく良い一日を過ごせました。とても充実したツアーだと思います。

I participated from Kyushu on July 13. It was more humid and tiring than I expected, but the lavender was in its best season, and I was very satisfied. The fully bloomed lavender has such a sweet and rich fragrance! The lunch was delicious, the driving was careful, and the guide was bright and fun, but not too loud—just right. It was a fun tour where I could see all the places I wanted to visit!

7月13日に九州から参加しました。
予想以上に蒸し暑く疲れましたが、ラベンダーはベストシーズンで大満足でした。
満開のラベンダーは、あんなに甘く濃厚な香りがするんですね！
昼食もおいしく、運転は丁寧で、ガイドさんは明るく楽しいけど、うるさすぎず丁度良い感じでした。
見たかった場所が全部見られるツアーで楽しかったです！

The guide's talk was very good, and everyone at the tourist spots was kind and accommodating. Of course, the scenery was also amazing. I'm glad I participated.

ガイドさんのお話がとても良かったし、観光地の皆さんも親切な対応で良かったです。もちろん景色も最高でした。参加して良かったです。
