As a resident of Sapporo, driving in winter can be challenging, so when it comes to using public transportation, I have to transfer to a bus at Asahikawa Station, which is often crowded and requires a long wait, making it difficult to find a seat. That's why I decided to use this tour.
There are several tours to Asahiyama Zoo, but this one allows for a longer stay of over three hours, which lets you fully enjoy the zoo, unlike others that stop at various sightseeing spots and have shorter zoo visits. The comfortable bus took us right to the entrance of the zoo, making it easier than going on my own.
The guide shared interesting information about the area and Hokkaido during the trip, which was beneficial even for someone like me who lives in Hokkaido.
Regarding the penguin walk, since I visited during a busy weekend, it's important to secure a good spot early, or it can be hard to see. I managed to get a front-row spot just 15 minutes before it started. Also, using an umbrella can be a nuisance to others, so having a hat is a good idea in case it snows.
札幌市民ですが、冬は運転が大変なので公共の交通機関で行くとなると、旭川駅でバスに乗り換え、バスは大混雑で長時間待つことになり座ることもできず・・など時間がかかってしまうので、こちらのツアーを利用しました。
旭山動物園へ行くツアーは他にもいくつかありますが、動物園以外にも観光スポットに立ち寄るため動物園の滞在時間が短く、こちらのツアーは滞在時間が3時間以上あり、動物園を満喫することができました。設備の整ったバスで快適に動物園の門の前まで行くことができ、個人で行くより楽でした。
ガイドさんが道中、そこの土地についてや北海道について紹介してくれ、北海道に住んでいる私にとってもためになる内容でした。
ペンギンの散歩について
週末の混雑している時期に訪れたため、早めに場所取りをしないと見えにくい場所になってしまいます。15分前でぎりぎり前列を確保できました。また傘を使うと他の人の迷惑になってしまうので、帽子があると雪が降ったときなどにいいと思います。
園内のレストランは混んでいたため、食べるものを持参すると時間節約ができます。
ペンギンの散歩は待ち時間が長いので、暖かい格好で行くのがお勧めです。

To be honest, it wasn't very enjoyable. It was my first time at Lake Toya, but after going once, I felt like that was enough. I personally had high hopes for the Ice Festival, but it was more subdued than I expected. Since it didn't look very beautiful at the time I went, it might have been better to join a tour that takes place during darker hours.
I thought the fee for the Ice Festival was included in the tour price, but it turned out to be a pay-on-site situation (even for those who paid in advance, they needed to show a voucher on-site). I overlooked that detail, so I was glad to understand it after hearing the explanation in the vehicle. However, I noticed some fellow passengers (Japanese) from the same bus entering without going through the ticket booth. Since I learned that payment was required in advance, I suspect that other tour booking sites besides Veltra probably don't collect the Ice Festival fee beforehand either, and I felt uncomfortable seeing that passenger enter without paying.
In this day and age, there are foreigners everywhere you go. Please don't take too seriously the reviews mentioning that the bus was noisy; that's just a matter of chance. I think it should be fine for those who don't mind crowds. However, it's safer to avoid weekends and holidays.
The guide was fluent in multiple languages and provided thorough explanations. Thank you to the driver and the guide for your hard work in the cold and snowy weather.
正直言ってあまり楽しくなかった。
洞爺湖以外は初めてでしたが、一回行ったらもういいかなと感じました。
個人的に氷濤まつりに期待していましたが思ったより地味でした。
時間帯的にあまり綺麗に見えなかったので、暗い時間に行われているツアーの方が良かったかも。
氷濤まつりの代金がツアー代金に含まれてるのかと思いきや、現地払い(先払いの人も、現地でパウチャーを見せる必要があるとのこと)でした。
そこを見落としてたので車内で説明を聞いて分かって良かったのですが、明らかにチケット売り場を通さずに入場していく同じバスの同乗客(日本人)を見かけました。
先払いというのを知ったのでVeltraさん以外のツアー予約サイトでもおそらく氷濤まつりの代金は事前に取ってないと思いますが、その客は無銭入場ではないかと感じ、見てて不愉快でした。
このご時世なのでどこ行っても外国人だらけです。他の方の口コミにあるバスの中がうるさいとかは、ガチャ要素なのであまり信じないで下さい。
人混みが嫌いでない人なら大丈夫かと思います。なお、週末と祝日は避けた方が無難です。
ガイドさんは複数の言語を流暢にこなしていて、説明も丁寧でした。

This time, since there were only a few of us, we were taken in a van by the guide who also drove.
Because there were only a few people, the gathering was very organized, and the timetable was spot on.
The one-star deduction is because the van was cramped with so many people. I wish they had at least used a microbus... that's the reason for the deduction.

I participated in a tour during the Spring Festival. There were probably only four Japanese people, and the rest were likely all Chinese. The tour guide was also a Chinese person who had been in Japan for two years. Anyway, the group was not punctual at all; we started late, and my concerns about the rest of the trip were confirmed as delays continued. A 10-minute delay was the norm. The only time we were on schedule was for the last restroom break at the service area. I felt sorry for the tour guide, who was anxious every time. Thank you for your hard work, especially when you hurried and stumbled!

Overall, it was a trip that left little impression. It might be suitable for buying lots of souvenirs. I ended up buying a lot of souvenirs, including a horse placenta cream for about 5,000 yen for my mother-in-law and relatives, all because of the guide's voice saying, "You can only buy this here!"
At the bear ranch, we threw biscuits at the bears below (who seemed bored and didn't eat them), and it was the most boring place where I couldn't really tell what I was looking at.
When the guide started saying, "This bear beauty cream can only be bought here!" I began to wonder if the guide was getting a commission from it.
At Hell Valley, we walked through the sulfur smell, but in the end, there wasn't much to see. The outlet was just average...
In any case, I do not recommend this tour and would like a reconsideration of the route. I don't regret it, but I won't go again. I wonder if it was because my husband is a foreigner that we ended up on the English tour? There were many people of Asian and Indian descent, and it's a mystery whether they were satisfied.

I'm glad I was able to get an overview, but I really felt the presence of many Chinese tourists. There was a Chinese tourist who lost their wallet and passport, but a local Chinese guide from Sapporo, who was in a hurry, found them and handed them back. The tourist accepted them calmly, without any expression of gratitude. Frankly, I couldn't help but think that in their home country, they might not have gotten them back or could have been robbed.

In mid-January, I participated in this bus tour, and out of 47 people on the bus, 40 were from China. Each time we departed from different locations, there was about a minute of explanation in Japanese, but afterwards, the conversation continued in Chinese for 20-30 minutes. It created quite an alien atmosphere, and I constantly felt out of place on the bus. If this is such a foreigner-oriented tour, I would have appreciated being informed of this in advance as a precaution.
Additionally, outside the bus, I experienced behaviors such as people cutting in line and persistently pushing to get ahead during the lineup, which even caused some people to fall.
Throughout the tour, I often felt anxious and disappointed, but the personality of the driver and the guide was very good, and it was nice that they generally adhered to the scheduled departure times.

各地出発の度に1分程度日本語で説明がありますが、その後は20-30分ほど中国語でのお話が続きます。かなりアウェイな雰囲気で、車内では常に肩身の狭い思いをしました。
これほど外国人向けツアーであるならば、注意事項として事前に教えていただきたく思いました。
また、車外でも列に割り込む、整列時も前に入るため執拗に押す等の行為を受け、転ぶ人が出るほどでした。

Sapporo, our departure point, had little snow, but Asahiyama Zoo was a winter wonderland at -6 degrees, truly representing Hokkaido! Although it was a freezing world, as long as you dress warmly, the cold is not bothersome. The zoo was a place where I could watch the active animals for hours. We had just over three hours there, but it flew by as we ate and browsed for souvenirs. For those with children, it's best to start with the must-see attractions! The kids' snow play can slow you down quite a bit. The polar bears and seals are located on the opposite side from the main entrance, so it takes time to get there. The return trip on the highway was exhausting due to many road closures, taking nearly five hours, but I'm grateful for being safely delivered on the snowy roads without any accidents.
出発地の札幌は雪が少なかったんですが、旭山動物園は雪で-6度、これぞ北海道!!という天候でよかったです。マイナスの世界ですがきちんと防寒すれば気にならない寒さでした。動物園も活発な動物の動きに何時間でもみていたい場所でした。3時間ちょっと滞在時間はありましたが、ごはんを食べたりおみやげを見たりしているとあっという間でした。子供がいる方はこれは絶対見たい!ってところから回るといいです。子供の雪遊びでなかなか前に進めません。しろくまやアザラシは団体入口とは正反対の場所にいるので行くのに時間がかかります。
帰りの高速道路は通行止めが多く5時間近くかかり疲れましたが、事故なく雪道を安全に送り届けてくれたことに感謝です。
I was thinking of buying lunch at the rest stop on the way, but they didn't sell rice balls or bread, so I recommend purchasing something in advance if you want to have a quick meal.

During the bus ride, there were explanations about the city's attractions through the intercom, making it more than just a two-birds-with-one-stone experience.

I have visited Asahiyama Zoo many times, and I often use bus tours. This time, the guide shared a lot of information about the history of Hokkaido throughout the journey, which made it enjoyable. The zoo had already started the penguin walk, so I was very satisfied.
旭山動物園は何度となく訪れており、バスツアーを利用することが多いですが、今回のガイドさんは往路ずっと北海道のなりたちを含めてたくさんお話ししてくださり、楽しく過ごせました。
動物園は早くもペンギンの散歩が始まっていたこともあり、大満足です。

Lake Toya, Noboribetsu, and foot baths.
As a day trip tour, the timing was not too tight, and it felt just right.
Since it was a tour on the 2nd of the New Year, it was a bit disappointing that there weren't many shops open, but the souvenir shop was open, so we were able to do some shopping.
I also enjoyed the foot bath during the free time because I had brought a towel in advance, and above all, our guide was very entertaining.
On the day of the tour, three buses were used, with about 120 participants. The buses were assigned based on language, and we had guides who spoke both Chinese and Japanese.
Both languages were fluent, making it a memorable tour.
Thank you very much.
洞爺湖、登別、足湯
日帰りツアーとしては、時間的にもそんなにキツキツでもなく、ちょうどいい感じでした。
新年早々2日のツアーのため、空いてるお店がないのが少し残念でしたが、お土産ショップも空いてたので、買い物はできました。
足湯も、タオルを事前に持っていたので、自由行動の時間に楽しめましたし、何よりガイドさん、面白かったです。
当日はバス3台、約120名の方が参加されて、言語によって、なるバスが決まりましたが、私たちは中国語と日本語のガイドさんがついてました。
両言語ともに流暢で、思い出に残るツアーでした。
ありがとうございました。
If you plan to use the foot bath, please bring a towel.
足湯利用の場合はタオルをお持ちください。

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。
Nothing in particular. Let's have fun!
特にありません。楽しみましょう。

I participated on December 28th. I joined because I wanted to show my partner the Penguin Parade at 2 PM. Since it's only available in winter, I think it's worth seeing. There were many inbound tourists. I wished they would clean the restrooms more frequently. Some were so dirty that they didn't seem like Japanese toilets. 😭
12月28日に参加しました。連合いに14時〜のペンギンパレードが見せたくて、参加しました。冬しか見れないので、見に行く価値はあるかと思います。インバウンドの方が沢山います。お手洗いの掃除を頻繁にしてほしいと思いました。一部、日本のトイレと思えない位、汚れていました😭
The roads in Hokkaido during winter were closed due to blizzard conditions, so we had to take some back roads to get home, which took quite a bit of time. I’m grateful to the bus guide and the driver!
冬の北海道の道路は、吹雪の影響で封鎖があり一部下道で帰る事になりましたが、だいぶ時間がかかります。バスガイドさん、運転手さんに感謝❗️私の場合は、18時半頃到着の予定が20時半頃になりました。

My first trip to Hokkaido was wonderful. Coming from a tropical region, it was my first time seeing the snow piled up. Lake Toya, the bear ranch, and Hell Valley were all fantastic. I think our guide, Mr. Onodera, had a tough time explaining in Japanese and Chinese for just two of us out of 32 participants, but he did it without complaint, and I truly appreciate it. I'm thinking of visiting Hokkaido again during the fresh green season, and I plan to use the service again then.
初めての北海道とても良かったです。私は南国なので積もった雪を見るのが初めてでした。洞爺湖、🐻牧場、地獄谷等とても良かったです。ガイドの小野寺さんも32名中たった二人の日本人のために日本語での説明したり中国語で説明したり大変だったと思いますが苦にせず頑張っていただき本当にありがとうございました。また新緑の季節に北海道に行こうと思っています。その時は再度利用しようと思っています。
I think taking a bus is a good option for solo travel or when traveling with a group.
一人旅や多人数の時はバスがいいと思います。

The Okurayama Jump Stadium was amazing. I took the lift up, and the view from the top was spectacular. It was a day with light snow, so I felt like a jumping athlete, enjoying the scenery of Sapporo from above, which was truly moving.
大倉山ジャンプ競技場は、実際にリフトで上がり、上から見た景色は、最高でした。小雪の舞う日でしたので、ジャンプの選手になった気分で、上空から札幌市の景色を見ることができ、感激しました。

The restaurant in the park was crowded, so bringing your own food can save time. The penguin walk has a long wait time, so it's recommended to dress warmly.
