All Reviews for Lake Shikotsu Tours

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 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😊

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.

大満足です。

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。

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

I was very impressed by the kind response from VELTRA when I asked a few questions before the tour. Thank you very much. Since it was winter, the objects at the Silo Observation Deck were not set up, and the sofas on the terrace of Mount Usu were covered in snow, but I had a great time until the end.

ツアー前にいくつか質問させていただいた時のVELTRAさまの対応がとても親切で感動しました。本当にありがとうございました。冬季なのでサイロ展望台のオブジェが設置されていなかったり有珠山のテラスのソファが雪に覆われていたりしましたが最後まで楽しくすごせました。

I had a very meaningful day filled with places I wanted to visit around Sapporo. The lunch was plentiful and delicious, and the view of Lake Toya from the restaurant was also very beautiful.

1日で札幌近郊の行きたかった場所が満載でとても有意義な1日になりました。
昼食も量も多く美味しくレストランからも洞爺湖の景色もとても綺麗でした。

For the people of Hokkaido, it felt like spring had arrived, with temperatures and clear skies no different from those in the Kanto region, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

From the top of Mount Usu, I was moved by the grandeur of Showa Shinzan and Lake Toya, the miracles of the Earth, and the local efforts to coexist with active volcanoes.

Usually, the temperature is significantly lower when getting off the ropeway compared to the base of the mountain, but this time I didn't mind at all and was able to fully appreciate the scenery from the heart.

I sat next to someone of the opposite sex who was also traveling alone on the bus, and our conversation picked up along the way, making me feel the joy of travel once again.

北海道の人にとって、春が来た？というほどの、関東と変わらぬ気温と快晴の空のもと、美しい景色を堪能しました。
有珠山の上から見た、昭和新山、洞爺湖の雄大さ、地球の奇跡、活火山と共存する地元のかたの取組の展示など、全てに感動です！
いつもならロープウェイ降りるとかなり山の下より気温が低いらしいのが、全く気にならず心から景色を堪能できました。
バス席は一人参加で、同じく一人参加の異性の方のとなりでしたが、途中から話が盛り上り、旅の楽しさを改めて感じました。

Considering how much you can do, it's an incredible deal! We stopped by Mushroom Kingdom before lunch, and since we were there, we tried the premium mushroom soup! The lunch seemed a bit lacking for men, so if you can eat, it might be a good idea to have something beforehand. The course to fully enjoy nature was truly the best!

こんなに回れることを考えると破格です！
きのこ王国は昼食前に寄りますが、せっかくなのでプレミアムきのこ汁を頂きました！
昼食が男性だと物足りなさそうな感じだったので、食べれる方は食べといてもいいかもです⭐︎
大自然満喫のコース本当に最高でした♩

The bus tour in sub-zero temperatures was completely different from other seasons, allowing us to enjoy the scenery and food unique to the cold period. There were many foreigners, but as a local, I also had a great time. Both Mount Usu and Showa Shinzan are representative volcanoes of Hokkaido, and the winter scenery was breathtaking.

氷点下というなかでのバスツアーは、他の季節とはまったく違っていて、寒い時期だからこその景色や食を楽しめました。外国人が多かったですが、地元民である私も存分に楽しめました。有珠山も昭和新山も北海道を代表する火山ですが、冬景色は圧巻でした。

I have visited Sapporo in winter many times, but I challenged myself with a bus tour for the first time. The highlight was the Usuzan Ropeway, but upon hearing that the temperature at the summit was minus 10°C, I braced myself. The initial experience and sensation were truly moving. I strongly felt that I want to visit both Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya again in spring and autumn. The commentary through the earphones on the bus was also comfortable, and my wife and I confirmed that we had a fulfilling trip. Thank you for your assistance.

冬の札幌に何度も来てますが、初のバスツアーにチャレンジしました。
有珠山ロープウェイが最大の楽しみでしたが、頂上がマイナス１０℃と聞き、身を引き締めました。初体験の初感覚、まさに感動でした。支笏湖も洞爺湖も、また春秋に訪ねたいと強く感じました。
バス内のイヤホンの解説も快適で、妻と充実の旅を確認し合いました。
お世話になりました。

I was blessed with clear weather during the winter tour and enjoyed the snowy scenery of Lake Shikotsu's blue waters. I was also satisfied with the experiences at the Usuzan Ropeway and Lake Toya.

雪の季節のツアーで晴天に恵まれて雪景色の支笏湖ブルーを楽しめました。冬の有珠山ロープウェイも洞爺湖湖も楽しめ満足出来ました。

The scenery exceeded all expectations throughout the entire journey. I highly recommend it. It was amusing that the Mushroom Kingdom was closed, but the troubles became part of the memories.

全行程で予想をはるかに超える景色でした。
お勧めします。
キノコ王国が休みだったのは笑えましたがトラブルも想い出になりました。

I participated from a region where I don't see snow.

The snowy landscape was very beautiful. After visiting Lake Shikotsu, we took the Usuzan Ropeway to the summit. We were able to see a magnificent view.

Lunch by Lake Toya was visually appealing and the meal was satisfying for a tour, but if I could make one request, I would have liked a menu. The scenery at Lake Toya changed in an instant, but it was great to see the beautiful Lake Toya and the sunset from the Silo Observatory.

There were several drop-off points, which was very convenient. The staff were also polite and pleasant. I used the same company's regular sightseeing tour last year and it was great, so I would like to use it again next time.

Beltora offers many excellent tours both overseas and domestically, and I feel safe using their services. Thank you very much.

雪を見ることのない地域からの参加です。

雪景色、とてもきれいでした。支笏湖見学後、有珠山ロープウェイに乗り山頂へ。
壮大な景色を見ることができました。
洞爺湖畔での昼食は、見た目も綺麗でツアーの食事では満足できる内容のお料理でしたが、一つ注文させて頂くとしたらお品書きがほしかったです。
一瞬で景色が変わる洞爺湖でしたが、サイロ展望台からはきれいな洞爺湖と夕日が見られて良かったです。

降車場所も何か所かあり大変便利でした。乗務員さんも丁寧な対応で感じが良かったです。昨年も同社の定期観光を利用し良かったのでまた次回も利用させて頂きたいと思います。

ベルトラさんは海外、国内ともとても良いツアーがたくさんあり安心して利用させて頂いております。ありがとうございました。

Although it was winter, the weather was nice and the scenery at all locations was beautiful. The meals exceeded my expectations and I was satisfied. If I had to wish for something, I would have liked meat or fish as the main dish. My biggest concern was the availability of restrooms during traffic jams or bad weather, but there were no traffic jams and plenty of restroom breaks, so I was able to complete the entire journey without any issues. However, I think it would be better to choose a bus with restrooms in the future, as we never know what might happen.

冬場でしたが天気もよくすべての場所の景色がきれいでよかったです
また食事も期待以上で満足でした。欲を言えばメインに肉か魚がほしかったです。
一番心配していたのは渋滞時や天候悪化の交通不通時のトイレでしたが渋滞もなく
トイレ休憩も多かったので何の問題もなく全行程を終了することができました。
でもやはり将来的には何が起こるかわからないのでトイレ付バスにした方が
よいかと思います。

On my usual travels, I would rent a car and sightsee while driving, but for someone like me who is not used to driving in the snow, the one-day tour on a regular sightseeing bus was really helpful. The lunch menu was also quite elaborate, and everyone was satisfied.

日頃の旅行では、レンタカーを借り走りながらの観光でしたが、やはり、雪走行には慣れない私には定期観光バスの１日ツアーは、ホント助かりました。昼のお食事も大変手の込んだメニューで皆満足してましたよ。

The weather was moderately good, and it was a satisfying tour. I was very grateful to be able to smoothly visit places like Lake Toya and Lake Shikotsu, which are difficult to access by public transportation. Thank you very much.

天気もほどほどによく、満足のいくツアーでした。
公共交通ではアクセスが難しい洞爺湖や支笏湖などをスムーズに観光でき、非常に有り難かったです。
ありがとうございました。

I didn't get bored even while traveling alone, the guide was efficient, and the driver always greeted us. The driving was skillful, making for a pleasant journey. I really enjoyed it after a long time! ⤴️💕

一人旅でも飽きず，ガイドさんも無駄なく，運転手さんも必ず挨拶が有り又、運転も上手だし気持ち良い旅でした，久しぶりに楽しめました、⤴️💕

The weather was nice, and I had a very good day. There were 14 people, and while there were some from Asia, it felt like there were more Japanese participants. Since there were few people, we initially had assigned seats, but once we departed, we were allowed to move to any seat we liked.

Although the sightseeing was a bit rushed, it was enjoyable to be taken around. The main guide was an audio guide through earphones. The tour by Chuo Bus was great, and the bus was clean as well.

お天気も良くとてもいい一日を過ごしました。
１４名で、アジア圏の方もいらっしゃいましたが、日本人の方が多かったように感じます。
人数が少なかったので最初は座席が決まっていましたが、出発すると好きな座席に移動させてくださいました。

観光は駆け足にはなりますが連れて行ってもらえるのは楽でした。
主なガイドはイヤホンからの音声ガイドでした。
中央バスさんのツアーはバスもきれいですし良いツアーでした。

Hokkaido is vast, so I was able to eat, drink, sleep, and play without having to drive myself. I could also listen to the guide's announcements about the history along the course, which allowed me to understand everything without having to research it beforehand, making it an effortless and moving experience.

北海道は広いので、自分で車を運転する事無く、お酒も飲めて食う、寝る、遊ぶが出来ました、コース内の歴史などガイドアナウンスも聞けて、事前に自分で調べることなく理解できるので無理なく感動できました。

The weather was unfortunately bad, but I was glad to see the scenery somehow. Also, I didn't have high expectations for lunch, but I was surprised at how delicious it was.

あいにくのお天気でしたが、景色はなんとか見れてよかったです。また、昼食はあまり期待していませんでしたが、とても美味しくて驚きました。

This is a fulfilling course where you can visit two lakes in one day. I wanted to ride the ropeway at Mount Usu, and the view was even more amazing than I expected. I didn't know much about Lake Shikotsu before going, but I was glad to enjoy the autumn leaves. I'm not good with boats, so I strolled along the lakeside and enjoyed some food, which was satisfying. If the lunch break had been longer and the weather had been nice, it would have been a five-star experience.

２つの湖を1日で見て回れる、充実コースです。
有珠山のロープウェイに乗ってみたかったのですが、思っていた以上に視界が開けていて素晴らしかったです。
支笏湖のことはあまり知らずに行きましたが紅葉が楽しめてよかったです。
船は苦手なので乗らずに湖畔を散策し、食べ歩きしていましたが、満足できました。ランチ休憩が短かったのと、天気が良かったなら、星５です。

I understand that the tour covers Sapporo's sightseeing spots in half a day, but it was disappointing as there was no charm to the tour aside from the Okurayama Jump Stadium. The outer market we visited last had no energy at all (this is in comparison to the Nijo Market I visited a few years ago).

Also, the meeting point was hard to find, so I think it should be improved. Additionally, the guide did not address the loud chatter among the foreign tourists on the bus. I believe this should also be improved.

札幌市内の観光名所を半日で周りツアーというのは理解してるが、大倉山ジャンプ台以外は何の魅力もないツアーだったので残念でした。特に最後に回って場外市場は全く活気もない市場でした。(数年前に訪れた二条市場との比較になります。)
後、集合場所が分かりずらいので改善した方が良いと思う。
バスの中で外国の人たちの私語がうるさいのにガイドさんは注意しない。これも改善した方が良いと思う。

I thought the autumn leaves had already fallen, but I was able to enjoy the beautiful colors of the remaining leaves and the scenery of late autumn in Hokkaido. The lunch venue was right in front of Lake Toya, offering a magnificent view, and the variety of dishes was plentiful and exceeded my expectations in terms of taste.

However, the bus guide explained at the beginning of the tour that talking was prohibited on the bus, and there were a couple of people who chatted a bit, but they received a reminder to "remember the initial agreement." It was my first time on a bus tour where we were told not to talk so much, which surprised me. The atmosphere on the bus was very quiet. While I understand this may be a desperate measure to avoid conflicts among passengers, I honestly felt it was a bit too strict.

紅葉は終わってしまっているかと思いましたが、まだ残っている葉の色が美しく北海道の晩秋の景色を楽しめました。昼食会場は洞爺湖の目の前で雄大な景色を頂きながら、品数も多く、期待以上に美味しかったです。
ただ、バスのガイドさんからツアーの冒頭に社内ではおしゃべり禁止との説明があり、少し会話した２人連れがいたのですが「最初のお約束を思い出してください」との注意喚起がありました。あんなに話をしてはいけないと言われるバスツアーは初めてで驚きました。社内は大変静か（静まり返っていた）でした。乗客同士のトラブルを避けたいという苦肉の策かとは思いますがあまりにも厳しいなというのが正直な感想でした。

The weather was great and the scenery was amazing! The driver and crew were nice, making it a wonderful memory of the trip. It was good that we could efficiently visit various places on a schedule that was mostly on time.

お天気が良くて景色が最高でした！
運転手、乗務員の方もいい方で、旅行の良い思い出になりました。
大体時間通りの日程で効率良く色んなところを巡ることができてよかったです。

It was reassuring physically to be able to visit tourist spots without renting a car. The entrance to the bear ranch was paid, but it was enjoyable.

レンタカーを借りずに観光地を周れるので、体力的にも安心でした。
熊牧場の入場は有料でしたが楽しめました。

The weather was mostly cloudy throughout the day, but I was relieved that it didn't rain.

I took an optional ride on the Shikotsu Lake sightseeing boat, but I heard that the lake was murky due to heavy rain last month, so the glass boat had poor visibility and I couldn't see anything at all. While the view from the boat was beautiful, I thought 1,800 yen was a bit pricey for that.

Since lunch wasn't included during this period, I had a meal at Mushroom Kingdom. The mushroom tempura was quite delicious.

I was looking forward to the Usuzan Ropeway. Was it a school trip? It was crowded with groups of students. There were plenty of chairs on the terrace, but unfortunately, there were no empty seats. There was also a line for soft serve ice cream, so I couldn't buy any. Although it wasn't clear weather, I was glad to enjoy the magnificent scenery in the pleasant autumn climate.

天気は1日薄曇りでしたが雨が降らなくて安心しました。

支笏湖観光船にオプションで乗りましたが、先月の大雨で湖が濁っているそうでグラスボートは視界不良でまったく見れず。湖の透明感を味わうことはできませんでした。船の上からの景色もきれいでしたが、これで1800円はちょっと高いな～と思ってしまいました。

ランチがついていない時期だったのできのこ王国で食事を取りました。きのこの天ぷらがなかなか美味しかったです。

楽しみにしていた有珠山ロープウェイ。修学旅行でしょうか？学生の団体でいっぱいです。テラスには椅子もたくさん置いてありましたが、空いている椅子がなく残念。ソフトクリームも列ができていて買えませんでした。
快晴ではありませんでしたが、秋の気持ちの良い気候の中ぐるりと雄大な景色を見ることができて良かったです。

On my fourth solo trip to Hokkaido, I participated in a bus tour for the first time. I was able to visit not only Lake Shikotsu, which I had always wanted to see, but also Lake Toya, Showa Shinzan, and Mount Usu. Despite the quick pace, I was blessed with good weather and was very satisfied.

Even though they are the same type of lake, the colors were completely different, and each offered a memorable landscape that I still can't forget, along with the tranquility of those scenes. The lunch I had while gazing at Lake Toya (was it too luxurious?) was also delicious.

During the travel, I was able to listen to interesting stories about the sights and their history through earphones, which made the long travel time enjoyable without feeling bored. A fond memory was finally seeing the summit of Mount Yotei (Ezo Fuji), which had been hidden by clouds throughout the tour, just before reaching Nakayama Pass.

4度目の北海道ひとり旅で、今回初めてバスツアーに参加しました。
ずっと行きたかった、支笏湖だけでなく洞爺湖、昭和新山&有珠山まで、駆け足ながらお天気にも恵まれ、大満足です。
同じ湖でも、湖の色がまったく違い、でもそれぞれに印象深い風景で、今でもあの光景と静けさは忘れられません。
洞爺湖を眺めながらいただいた昼食(豪華すぎる？)も、美味でした。
移動中も、イヤホンで観光案内やそこにまつわる歴史など、なかなか興味深い話が聞けて、長い移動時間も退屈する事なく過ごすことができました。
ツアー中、ずっと雲で隠れていた羊蹄山(蝦夷富士)の頂上が、中山峠の手前で最後に見れたのも良い思い出です。

I participated with my mother in her 60s. I feel that the charm of the bus tour is being able to travel comfortably without the need to rent a car and drive in the vast Hokkaido. Thanks to the favorable weather, we were able to fully enjoy the magnificent nature at both Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya, and I felt it was a great location to participate in. The tour schedule and the time allocated at each spot were just right, and the guide's instructions were smooth, which made me feel at ease. During the travel, there was an audio guide (available in multiple languages) that provided knowledge about the characteristics of the regions we passed through, local legends, and the animals that inhabit the area, allowing us to spend our time without getting bored. The meals included dishes made with Hokkaido ingredients, and both the quantity and quality were satisfying. Everyone participating adhered to the meeting times, and no one was late, which made for a pleasant experience as everyone acted with ample time.

60代の母と2人で参加しました。広大な北海道で自分でレンタカーを借りて運転する必要なく快適に旅行できる点が、バスツアーの魅力だと感じています。天気に恵まれたこともあり、支笏湖、洞爺湖ともに雄大な自然を満喫できて参加してよかったと感じるロケーションでした。ツアーこスケジュール感や各スポットでの時間配分が丁度よく、ガイドさんの誘導もスムーズで安心できました。移動の車中では音声ガイド(多言語対応)があり、通過する地域の特色や伝承、生息している動物に関する知識、支笏湖や洞爺湖の豆知識を聴くことができ飽きずに過ごせました。食事の内容も北海道の食材を使った料理もあり、量と質ともに満足できる内容でした。参加している方は集合時間をきちんと守る方たちで全員遅れることなく、みなさん時間に余裕を持った行動をしていたので気持ちが良かったです。
