All Reviews for Japan Autumn Tours 2025

I was able to efficiently visit the spots I wanted to see, and I am very satisfied. Also, the guide was very polite and provided a sense of security.

効率よく見たいスポットを回ることができて、大満足です。そして、ガイドさんがとても丁寧で安心感がありました。

The places I visited were all wonderful and without complaint, but I was disappointed with the inbound customers and the guide. Since they were inbound tourists, there were moments of irritation due to poor manners and differing values. I had acknowledged at the time of booking that it would be the same tour as the inbound group, but I regret not going with only Japanese people. That's my fault.

As for the guide, they were from overseas and trilingual. They had no issues with language and were a lovely person, but it seemed they lacked experience as a guide. Therefore, I think of them more as someone who assists rather than a full-fledged guide.

The content of the guiding was often disorganized, so I believe it would be better to decide in advance what to explain, memorize the script, and use a guiding method where they explain when they reach the relevant scene.

訪れた場所はどこも素敵で申し分なかったのですが、インバウンドのお客様とガイドさんにがっかりしました。
インバウンドなので、マナーの悪さや価値観の違いで、途中イラつくこともありました。申し込み時点でインバウンドと同じツアーになる事は書かれてあったので了承したのですが、やはり日本人だけで行動すればよかったと後悔しています、これは自分が悪いですね。
また、ガイドさんですが、海外出身でトライリンガルの方でした。言語も問題なく人柄も素敵な方だったのですが、どうもガイドの経験が浅いように見受けられました。なので、ガイドと言うよりも補助をしてくれる人程度のアテンドだと思います。
ガイドの内容がまとまりがないことが多かったので、あらかじめ何を解説するのか、セリフを決め、それを暗唱して、その場面に来たら説明するようなガイドの方法を取られたほうが良いかと思います。

Driving the distance ourselves (from Jigokudani to Chikyu Misaki to Lake Toya to Lake Shikotsu) by renting a car would have been quite challenging, but simply riding the bus took us to one breathtaking spot after another, making it physically very easy. Although it was a long 10-hour trip, the time spent at each location was just right, allowing us to enjoy without getting bored.

Along the way, the guide shared interesting stories about Hokkaido's history, highlights of each spot, and recommended souvenirs, which enriched our knowledge in ways that individual travel wouldn't have. The bus seats were comfortable, and we could relax during the journey, so after returning, we were still energetic enough to enjoy dinner in Sapporo city that night.

​自分たちでレンタカーを借りてこの距離(地獄谷〜地球岬〜洞爺湖〜支笏湖)を運転するのはかなり大変ですが、バスに乗っているだけで次々と絶景スポットに連れて行ってくれるので、体力的にとても楽でした。10時間という長丁場ですが、各スポットの滞在時間も適切で、飽きることなく楽しめました。
道中、ガイドさんが北海道の歴史や各スポットの見どころ、おすすめのお土産などを楽しくお話ししてくださり、個人旅行では得られない知識が増えました。バスの座席も快適で、移動中はゆっくり休めるので、帰着後の夜も札幌市内で元気に夕食を楽しむことができました。

I was glad that I could efficiently visit various tourist spots. The guide's explanations were easy to understand, so I was able to enjoy sightseeing.

色々な観光地を効率的に回る事ができて良かったです。
ガイドさんの説明も分かりやすかったので、楽しく観光する事ができました。

You can visit many tourist spots in one day. Looking back, the selection of places to visit was appropriate. It's a busy tour, but I think the cost performance is particularly excellent. I am satisfied.

There were spots I wanted to explore more thoroughly, but that's unavoidable given the number of places we visited.

Also, I was pleased with the friendly assistance and appropriate guidance from our tour conductor, Mr. Yanagyu. Thank you for your hard work! ♪

一日で多くの観光スポットを回われます。後で振り返ると、訪問先の選定も適切でした。忙しいツアーですが、コストパフォーマンスは特に優れていると思います。満足しています。
じっくり見たいスポットもありましたが、これは訪問個所数との兼ね合いで、致し方ないです。
そして、添乗員の柳生さんのフレンドリーな対応と適切な案内も嬉しかったかったです。お疲れ様でした♪

I think it would have been perfect if the weather had been nice. The tour guide and the driver were also very kind, and I had a great time. Thank you very much.

天気が良ければ最高だったとおもいます。
添乗員さん、ドライバーさんもとても親切で楽しめました。ありがとうございました。

Although there were only a few Japanese participants, we were arranged to be close together, which made it easy to participate comfortably. Our tour guide, Mr. Yanagyu, was friendly and skillfully switched between Japanese and Chinese while providing a thorough guide. His attention to detail, such as recommending places for photos and food, was impressive. The driver was also pleasant and drove safely, allowing us to feel secure throughout the trip. We were able to efficiently visit the sightseeing spots, and I believe this tour is highly recommended for those visiting Hokkaido for the first time.

日本人の参加者は少数ではありましたが、近くにまとまるよう配慮されており、安心して参加できました。添乗員の柳生さんは気さくで、日本語と中国語を使い分けながら丁寧にガイドしてくださり、写真撮影や食べ物のおすすめなど細やかな気配りが印象的でした。運転手さんも感じが良く、安全運転で終始安心して過ごせました。観光地も効率よく回ることができ、初めて北海道を訪れる方にもおすすめできるツアーだと思います。

In April, before the Golden Week, Hokkaido is in the maintenance period after winter, so many facilities were closed. I decided to join a bus tour. It was my first time visiting places like Lake Shikotsu, Lake Toya, and Cape Earth, and the tour guide provided detailed advice and explanations, making the experience enjoyable! The A course included a stroll through the Toya Onsen town, and the B course featured a ropeway. I was informed that depending on the situation, lunch time could be tight, so if you don't have any specific preferences, it would be a good idea to prepare sandwiches or bento in advance to enjoy a leisurely lunch. I chose the B course and took the ropeway (which had an additional fee), and the weather was nice and pleasant. At the top of the mountain, there were chairs and sofas, as well as a space to eat and drink, allowing for a relaxed picnic atmosphere. Additionally, there was a small discount at the Silo Observation Deck, so I was able to purchase souvenirs at a better price. Thank you for a wonderful day from early morning until evening!

GWに入る前の4月の北海道は、冬明けのメンテナンスの時期にあたるとのことで、いろいろな施設などがお休みだったりしたので、バスツアーに参加してみました。
支笏湖や洞爺湖、地球岬など初めて行ったのですが、添乗員さんがきめ細やかなアドバイスや解説をしてくださり、楽しく過ごせました！Aコースの洞爺湖温泉街散策もBコースのロープウェイも、場合によってはお昼時間がギリギリになるとのことだったので、特にこだわりがなければ、事前にサンドイッチやお弁当などを準備して持っていけば、ランチもゆっくりできると思います。今回、Bコースを選びロープウェイ（別料金）に乗りましたが、お天気も良く気持ちよかったです。見晴らしのいい山の上に椅子やソファなどもあり、飲食できるスペースもあるので、ピクニック気分でのんびりできました。また、サイロ展望台で少し割引があって、お土産などもちょっとお得に購入できました。朝早くから夕方までありがとうございました。

I was able to see the stunning views of Cape Earth, Lake Toya, and Lake Shikotsu. The weather was great, and the tour guide provided service that exceeded expectations, which was very impressive. They recommended souvenirs and food at each sightseeing spot, as well as suggestions for Sapporo city and the airport. I would like to participate in another bus tour via a different route.

地球岬・洞爺湖・支笏湖の絶景を見る事ができました。天気も良く添乗員さんがガイドさん以上の対応で非常に良かったです。
各観光地でのお土産・食べ物などお薦めを教えてくれたり、札幌市内のお薦め・空港のお薦めまで教えて頂きました。
また別ルートのバスツアーに参加したいと思います。

As expected from the tourist city of Sapporo, even though day trip sightseeing buses are being discontinued in various places due to a shortage of drivers, I was impressed by the variety of courses available. It was efficient to visit various locations that are difficult to access with the limited JR services. Even on weekdays, the buses were full, with about 80% of the passengers being foreigners. There is a guide, but since they are busy with Japanese, English, and Chinese, it's difficult to provide sufficient information. I recommend checking sightseeing information on your mobile phone.

流石 観光都市札幌

The tour guide's explanations were really great. They provided accurate advice for each location, which made the experience enjoyable.

添乗員さんの説明がすごく良かったです
場所ごとにと的確なアドバイスをしてくれるので楽しく過ごせました。

It was almost a full-day tour, but I really enjoyed it. The food was delicious, and I was able to buy souvenirs at the Mushroom Kingdom, and the mushroom soup was also tasty. If you're looking for a tour to fully enjoy nature, this is definitely the one! 😊

ほぼ丸一日のツアーでしたが、とても満喫できました。食事も美味しく、きのこ王国ではお土産も買うことができ、きのこ汁も美味しかった☺️自然を満喫したいツアーなら間違いないです。

As a one-day tour, it seems to be quite cost-effective and is likely the most popular. I was lucky to be able to buy souvenirs with an 8% discount coupon.

1日ツアーとしてはかなりコスパが良く1番人気と思われます　8%割引券でおみやげを買い揃えることができluckyでした

Thank you, Mr. Yagyu, for all your thoughtful care and attention during the tour. It was a fun trip, and I don't think I could have visited so many places on my own. The 8% discount on souvenirs at the sightseeing spots and the silo observation deck was greatly appreciated. ☆ five stars. The only downside was the small 20-passenger jumping vehicle, but aside from that, it was a perfect score!

添乗の柳生さん　いろいろ心遣いなどなどありがとうございました。
楽しい旅行になりました。個人ではあれほどたくさん回れなかったと思います。
見学地やサイロ展望台おみやげ8％引きはありがたいことです。☆５つです。
小型の20人乗りジャンプする車が残念でしたが。それを除けば100点満点とれました。

About half of the participants were foreigners, but the female tour guide (who was Chinese) provided bilingual guidance that satisfied both Japanese and foreign guests, which was very good.

外国の方が半分くらいいらっしゃいましたが、添乗員の女性（中国の方）がバイリンガルで日本人、外国人が満足するような案内をしていただきとてもよかったです。

It was a tour that fulfilled my desire to do a lot of sightseeing, even though I was traveling alone. It was a full tour, and I sat next to the tour guide, Mr. Yagyu, who was very kind and made it enjoyable.

ひとり旅だけど、たくさん観光したい希望を叶えてくれたツアーでした
満席ツアーで添乗員さんの隣でしたが、柳生さんがとても親切で楽しかったです

I'm glad I was able to see tourist spots like Lake Toya, Lake Shikotsu, and Cape Earth all in one day. I think having a guide's explanation makes it cheaper than renting a car.

洞爺湖、支笏湖に地球岬など観光地を1日で見られて良かったです。ガイドさんの説明があってレンタカーより格安だと思います。

The view of Jigokudani was refreshing. If I had a little more time, I would have liked to go deeper into Jigokudani. Also, I was a bit disappointed that I had limited time for the Shikotsuko Ice Festival in winter.

地獄谷の景色は爽快でした。もう少し、時間があれば、地獄谷の奥まで、行ってみたかったです。また、冬の支笏湖氷濤まつりも、時間が少なく、ちょっと、残念でした

Since we visited various scenic spots, spending about 40 minutes at each, it was great to be able to see many places even on a day trip. More than half of the participants were foreigners, but it was quiet, and the schedule was well-kept, making it enjoyable. The tour guide provided explanations in two languages, which made it easy to understand. Our guide, Mr. Yanagyu, was friendly and a nice person.

景勝地を各所だいたい滞在時間40分程度で回るので、日帰りでもたくさんの場所に回れて良いです。
参加者の半分以上が外国人でしたが、静かで、時間も守られていて楽しめました。
添乗員さんが、2カ国語で説明をしてくれていて、聞き取りもスムーズでした。
今回、担当いただいた柳生さんは気さくで良い人でした。

I greatly appreciated your support in three languages. Thank you very much.
I understand it may be difficult, but I would like to request a bit more time at each sightseeing spot.

3カ国語のご対応いただき、大変助かりました。ありがとうございました。
難しいと思いますが、各観光地の滞在時間をもう少し延ばしていただきたいです。

The weather was unfortunately bad, but it was a very fulfilling tour. Our guide, Shu, was very knowledgeable and provided detailed and careful guidance. We followed his recommendations at each destination, which led to a wonderful experience. The driver was also kind and drove safely. Thank you very much. I highly recommend it!

あいにくの天気でしたが、とても充実したツアーでした。ガイドのシュウさんはとても物知りで詳しく丁寧にガイドしてくださり、行く先々でオススメ通りに行動して、とても素晴らしい体験ができました。運転手さんも親切で安全運転でした。ありがとうございました。オススメです！

It was a tour with wonderful scenery. The guide was kind and provided a detailed explanation. There were many foreign walkers, so the guide offered explanations in two languages. The guide provided a fluent narration.

素晴らしい景色のツアーです。ガイドさんほ親切丁寧に案内して下さいました。外国人の散歩者も多いのでガイドか２カ国語の説明があります。
ガイドさんは流暢に案内してくれます

I was able to enjoy many places efficiently in just one day. The great outdoors was wonderful, and I was also happy to see the bear ranch. The meals were substantial, much more than I expected from a tour.

1日で効率よくたくさんの場所を満喫できました。大自然も素晴らしかったですがクマ牧場も見れて嬉しかったです。食事もツアーとは思えないくらいしっかりした内容でした。

I visited Lake Shikotsu, Lake Toya, and Mount Usu, and each place was incredibly beautiful and moving. I enjoyed a delicious lunch while taking in the scenery at Lake Toya. The guide was very kind and attentive, which made the tour even more enjoyable. We were able to get off in Susukino on the way back, so I could also enjoy Susukino. Thank you to the driver and the guide!

支笏湖、洞爺湖、有珠山を回りましたが、どこもとても美しく感動的でした。洞爺湖でのランチは景色を見ながら美味しいランチを頂きました。ガイドさんがとても親切丁寧な対応をしてくださったので、より楽しいツアーになりました。帰りにすすきので下車出来たので、すすきのも楽しむ事ができました。運転手さんガイドさんありがとうございました。

I like bus tours because they allow me to efficiently visit attractions. The information provided through the earphones was detailed, and both the guide and the driver were friendly and very good. There are still spots I want to visit, so I will use this service again.

効率よく見所を観光できるため、バスの旅は好きです。イヤホンから聞ける案内も詳しく、ガイドさんも運転者さんも温和でとても良かったです。まだ観光したいスポットがあるので、利用します。

Everyone except us was from abroad, so I was initially anxious, but thanks to our guide, ASUKA, my son and I had a very enjoyable trip. The guide knew many delicious places, so we were able to visit restaurants that we wouldn't have been able to go to on our own, such as for sweet potato fries and scallop fried rice. Feeding the bears at the bear ranch was also fun. Thank you for the wonderful trip!

私たち以外は全員外国の方とのことで、初めは不安でしたが、ガイドのASUKAさんのおかげで息子共々とても楽しい旅になりました。ガイドさんが美味しい店をたくさんご存知でしたので、あげいもやホタテチャーハンなど個人旅では行けないようなお店に行くことが出来ました。熊牧場でのエヤやりも楽しかったです。楽しい旅をありがとうございました！

I think it's great for those who want to explore a lot. I was very satisfied that we could tour multiple places over a long distance in the snow. We were on the same bus with Chinese and Japanese people, and the guide (who was Chinese) repeatedly emphasized the importance of being on time, so everyone adhered to the schedule and we were able to return comfortably.

沢山周りたい人には良いと思う。
雪の中を長距離、複数箇所を観光出来てとても満足です。中国人と日本人と同じバスでしたが、ガイドさん(中国人)が集合時間の厳守を何度もおっしゃってて皆さん時間を守って気持ち良く帰って来れました。

I participated on December 31st. There were many foreigners, but people of all ages were present, from young individuals to families and seniors. My elementary school-aged sons were surprised by the bear's voice since they had been watching bear news every day. They were very impressed by the bear feeding and the bear's gestures of asking for food, and they even imitated the bear at home. Lake Toya and the Blue Pond were also great.

12/31に参加しました。外国人の方も多かったですが、若い方からファミリー、ご年配の方までいらっしゃいました。小学生の息子たちは、毎日熊のニュースを見ていたので、熊の声に驚きつつ、熊の餌やり、熊のお願いする仕草がとても印象に残り、自宅でも熊の真似をしていました。
洞爺湖、青い池も良かったです。

The tour guide, Mr. Tō, spoke multiple languages and was very easy to understand. He was also attentive to time considerations, such as bathroom breaks. I would like to book again. Thank you very much.

ツアーの添乗員の唐さんは多言語を話せ、とてもわかりやすかったです。お手洗い休憩などの時間配慮も行き届いていました。また予約したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

I participated in this tour with my daughter who lives in Hokkaido. This was my third time in Hokkaido, but it was my first winter visit, so I joined a one-day bus tour. There were many international and Japanese participants, so it ended up being a bus full of Japanese people.

The days before and after were cloudy and snowy, but we had clear skies on this day. I was thrilled to see Mount Yotei, which looked like Mount Fuji. I was told that this is a rare occurrence. Lake Toya and Showa Shinzan were also beautiful.

The bear ranch was just the right size, not too big or too small, and the bears welcomed us from different areas, looking very cute as they begged for bear cookies. Around the time when wild bears wake up from hibernation, half of the bears at the ranch were still asleep.

Hell Valley was also impressive. Finally, we had 90 minutes of shopping at Mitsui Outlet. There were some decent brands inside, and I enjoyed it. The guide was very good at storytelling and shared a lot of information and recommendations about Hokkaido.

I wished I had participated earlier. I would like to join another tour as well.

北海道に住む娘と参加しました。
北海道数回目ですが、冬の北海道初めてでしたのでバス1日観光に参加させて頂きました。
海外の方、日本の方が沢山の利用だったので、日本人だけのバスになってました。
前後の日は曇りや雪で、この日だけ快晴。
羊蹄山が富士山の様に見えて感激でした。
滅多に無い事だそうです。
洞爺湖、昭和新山も綺麗でした。
熊牧場は大きくも小さくも無い丁度良い場所で、何ヶ所に分かれた熊がお出迎えしてくれ、熊クッキーを要求する姿がとても可愛かったです。
野生の熊は冬眠から目覚める頃、熊牧場の熊も半分は寝てました。
地獄谷も圧巻でした。
最後は三井アウトレットで90分お買い物。
室内でまあまあなブランドがあり、楽しめました。
ガイドさんがお話し上手で、色々北海道の事やオススメな事をお話ししてくれました。

もっと早く参加しておけば良かったと思いました。

また違うツアーにも参加したいです。
