All Reviews for Japan Autumn Tours 2025

This is a very convenient tour for efficiently exploring the sightseeing spots around Sapporo while enjoying the magnificent nature. This time, we were blessed with great weather, making it a wonderful experience. The Chinese guide provided enthusiastic explanations in Japanese, Chinese, and English, which was impressive. It felt like a mysterious experience as if we were traveling abroad.

　札幌近郊の観光地を効率的に廻るので、雄大な自然を満喫するには、大変便利なツアーである。今回はお天気にも恵まれ、素晴らしい体験でした。
　中国人のガイドさんが、日本語、中国語、英語と熱心に説明する解説の連続で、お疲れ様です。まるで海外旅行をしているような不思議な体験でもある。

It was a fulfilling and enjoyable day. If possible, I would have liked to gather earlier and disperse later, as it was such a wonderful course. Additionally, the guide's recommendations were spot on; the suggested lunch, recommended sweets, and souvenirs were all reasonably priced and exceeded expectations. Thank you!

充実した楽しい一日になりました。できればもっと早く集合して、もっと遅くに解散したいほど素敵なコースでした。さらにガイドの方のおすすめにハズレ無しで、おすすめの昼食も推薦のスィーツもお土産もどれもお手頃価格でお値段以上のものでした。
ありがとうございました！

I was glad that I could efficiently visit various places. The scenery at Lake Toya was incredibly beautiful, and the scallop fried rice restaurant recommended by the tour guide was cheap and delicious.
I was unsure whether to include the bear ranch, but I’m glad I did. The baby bears were so cute.
The tour guide provided information in three languages and was fluent in Japanese as well, which was wonderful.

効率よくいろんな場所に行けてよかったです。特に洞爺湖の景色がすごく綺麗で、添乗員さんオススメのホタテ炒飯のお店が安くて美味しかったです。
クマ牧場をつけるか迷いましたがつけて良かったです。小熊がすごく可愛かったです。
添乗員さんは3ヶ国語でガイドされてましたが、日本語もペラペラで素晴らしかったです。

As expected during Golden Week, most of the guests were foreigners, with only a few Japanese. A couple who appeared to be Chinese sitting in front of us reclined their seats all the way back, which was very unpleasant for us. Since Kaido is also a foreigner, they didn't address the situation no matter what we said. Please organize tours specifically for Japanese people. Bus tours with foreigners from Southeast Asia who lack manners are the worst.

流石はGW。ほとんどが外国人。日本人は数組。
私達の前に座った中国人らしきカップルがリクライニングシートを思っきり倒して来るので、ずーっと不愉快でした。カイドも外国人なので何を言っても対処してくれません。日本人による、日本人だけのツアーにしてください。マナーのなって
いない東南アジアの外国人とのバスツアーは最低です。

It was great to efficiently visit the attractions, but... the participants in the front seats of the bus kept their seats fully reclined in silence the entire time, making it quite a struggle to get in and out of my seat. It was a fun tour, but I felt a bit frustrated. That was the only disappointing part.

効率よく名所を巡ることができて、とても良かったのですが…
バスの前の席の参加者の方々が、無言でシートを終始ずっとフルで倒し、シートから出るのも戻るのも一苦労で、楽しいツアーでしたが、悶々とモヤモヤとしました。それだけが残念でした。

The weather was great, and it was the best tour because we could go to all the places we wanted to! The guide was trilingual, which was wonderful. This was my first time using an optional tour within Japan, and I appreciated the quick response to my inquiries during the booking process. Thank you for your help. I will use your services again.

天気もよく、行きたいところにすべて行けて最高のツアーでした！
ガイドさんトリリンガル対応で、素晴らしかったです。
日本国内のオプショナルツアーは初めて利用しましたが予約時の問合せ対応も迅速に対応いただき、お世話になりました。また利用させていたただきます。p

I traveled to Hokkaido for the first time alone. I participated in a bus tour that allowed me to visit various places, and I was continuously amazed by the rich natural beauty. I was particularly impressed by our tour guide, Mr. Onodera, who shared humorous stories and demonstrated a strong spirit of service. I would like to join the tour again when I travel to Hokkaido next time.

初めて北海道に一人旅に来ました。いろんな所に行けるバスツアーに参加させていただきましたが大自然豊かな場所に、いろいろ行けて感動の連続でした。特に添乗員の小野寺さんユーモアたっぷりのお話やサービス精神旺盛の行動にまたまた感動しました。また北海道に旅行の時はツアーに参加したいと思います。

The weather was absolutely perfect, and I was able to take great photos wherever I went. The tour guide was also fantastic, speaking three languages. Since this was my second trip to Hokkaido, I was looking for a tour that I hadn't done before, and I had an amazing day. I highly recommend this tour.

最高に良い天気でどこへ行っても良い写真が撮れました。添乗員さんも3ヶ国語喋れて素晴らしかったです。2回目の北海道旅行でしたのでまだ行ったことのないツアーを探していたので最高な1日を過ごせました。おすすめのツアーです。

I was satisfied to be able to visit various tourist spots centered around Lake Toya all at once. The weather was nice, and the scenery everywhere was beautiful, so next time I want to focus on specific spots and take my time exploring.

洞爺湖を中心とした観光スポットを一気に回れて満足です。
天気もよくどこも景色がよかったので、次はスポットを絞ってさらにゆっくり回りたいです

I made a reservation to honor my parents, and the guidance provided by Mr. Onodera was extremely polite and excellent. I believe it will be a precious memory for my parents to take back to China. They were also kind in accommodating my noisy elderly father.

親孝行のため　予約させて頂き小野寺様のご案内橋は非常に丁寧で最高でした。親たちが中国に持ち帰りの貴重な思い出だと思います。
うるさい高齢の父に対しても親切にご対応して頂きました

I participated in a day trip bus tour from Sapporo on April 28. With COVID-19 now classified as Category 5, it was the first Golden Week since then, and there were quite a few international guests, making a total of 47 people on the bus. Today's itinerary included a bear feeding experience at Noboribetsu (Bear Ranch), followed by visits to Lake Toya, Lake Shikotsu, Cape Earth, and Mount Yotei. What impressed me the most was that the tour guide spoke Japanese, Chinese, and English fluently. I would love to join another day trip bus tour if I come back to Hokkaido. Thank you very much.

4月28日に札幌発日帰りバスツアーに参加しました、コロナも5類になり初めてのGWだったので海外からのお客様がかなり参加していて総勢47人の満員でした、本日のコースは登別(クマ牧場)でクマの餌やり体験を済ませ、洞爺湖、支笏湖、地球岬、羊蹄山と回ってきました、素晴らしいのは添乗員さんが日本語、中国語、英語を流暢に話されていたのを感動しました、またぜひ北海道に来たら、日帰りバスツアーに参加したいと思います、ありがとうございました。

The highway was closed due to snowfall the previous day, but we took the back roads and changed our sightseeing order based on the weather forecast for the day, allowing us to see everything. About 90% of the participants were inbound tourists, but we were able to gather on time, and the restroom guidance was accurate. It was a satisfying tour!

前日の降雪で高速道路が通行止めとなりましたが、
下道を通り、当日の天気予報をもとに見学順を変更し、
全て、見ることができました。
9割はインバウンド観光客でしたが、集合時間に遅れることなく、
トイレの案内なども的確、満足いくツアーでした♪

I had a great time visiting various places on a day trip. Jigokudani offers breathtaking scenery. Cape Earth and Showa Shinzan are also worth seeing. At Showa Shinzan, there is a bear ranch and a ropeway, but due to time constraints, I only visited Showa Shinzan. If I had more time, I would have liked to visit the bear ranch as well. I think Lake Shikotsu would have been very beautiful if it had been sunny, but even in the rain, the water was clear. I made my reservation while checking the weather forecast, but it was cloudy with rain on the day, which was disappointing. The wind was very cold. Although the seats were a bit cramped due to being fully booked, I think it was efficient to travel by bus since public transport is inconvenient. It takes time to move around, so I understand, but it was unfortunate that the stay at each spot was short. Several other tour buses overlapped at the same time, making it crowded. The guide was helpful, speaking Japanese, Chinese, and English to explain things. The meal at the restaurant recommended at Lake Toya was delicious (scallop fried rice). The driver was friendly and very approachable. I would like to participate again on a sunny day next time.

日帰りで色々回れて楽しめました。
地獄谷は圧巻の景色です。
地球岬や昭和新山も見応えあります。
昭和新山ではクマ牧場やロープウェイもありますが、時間的に無理なので、
昭和新山の見学だけにしましたが、時間があればクマ牧場にも行ってみたかったです。
支笏湖が晴れていたらとても綺麗な湖の景色だったと思いますが、
雨でも水は透き通っていました。
天気予報を見ながら予約しましたが、当日は曇りのち雨で残念でした。
とても風が冷たく寒かったです。
満席で座席は少し狭いですが、交通の便が不便なので、バスで回れて効率はいいと思います。
移動に時間がかかるので仕方がないと思いますが、それぞれのスポットでは滞在時間が短いのが残念でした。
他のツアーのバスが数台同じ時間に重なって人で溢れていました。
ガイドさんも日本語、中国語、英語の３か国語を話して説明してくれるので助かります。洞爺湖でおススメされたレストランでの食事が美味しかったです。
（ホタテチャーハン）
運転手さんも気さくな方でとてもフレンドリーでした。
次回また晴れた日に参加したいです。

The price and sightseeing were both great. During lunchtime... I enjoyed it with the tour guests. I was satisfied to choose my favorite dishes with the free meal option! The Cape Earth course is quite rare, so I made a reservation right away. The male guide provided detailed explanations and was proficient in both Japanese and Chinese. I will participate again. Thank you very much!

価格共に観光も好かったです。ランチタイム…ツアー客と楽しくいただきました。自由食で好きな品を選べて満足!地球岬コースは中々ないので直ぐに予約しました。引率者の男性はきめ細やかに説明して下さり日本語に中国語に長けていました。また、参加させていただきますね。多謝

It was a great experience. I would like to invite my friends and participate again. I think the price could be a bit lower.

いい体験になりました。
また、ともだちをさそって、さんかしたいと思います。
値段はすこし下がればよいと思います。

I suddenly had some free time, so I planned my first trip to Hokkaido in just a week. Since it was a special occasion, I went with my granddaughter. However, I had been busy with work right up until the last minute, so I didn't have much time to do thorough research and could only imagine places like the Sapporo Clock Tower and Shiroi Koibito Park. Most bus tours were starting from Golden Week, and I was considering renting a car when I found this tour just two days before. The weather forecast was good, so I decided to participate.

On the day of the tour, Sapporo was overcast with no breaks in the clouds, but as we got closer to Noboribetsu, we were greeted with clear skies! The blue horizon of the sky and sea viewed from Cape Erimo was stunning, and we could even see Hakodate. The tour guide was very kind, and I’m really glad that I made this tour the main event of our trip.

急に時間がとれた為、一週間で計画を立てた人生初の北海道旅行。
せっかくなので孫娘と2人で行ってきました。
とはいえ直前まで仕事が忙しく、しっかりリサーチする時間もなく札幌時計台とか白い恋人パークぐらいしかイメージができず、バスツアーもほとんどがGWからでレンタカーを借りようかと思ってたところで2日前に見つけたこのツアー。
天気予報も良かったので参加させていただきました。
当日の札幌は雲の切れ間もないくらいどんよりしてましたが、登別に近づくにつれ雲ひとつないほどの快晴に！
地球岬から望む空と海の真っ青な水平線はとても綺麗で函館まで見通せました。
ツアーガイドさんもとても親切で、旅のメインの1日をこのツアーにして本当に良かったです。

The day went by in a flash. I thought it would have been nice to have a bit more time at Lake Toya so we could enjoy lunch more leisurely.

The bus guide seemed to have a tough time speaking three languages, but it was interesting to hear different languages and the stories were entertaining.

一日あっと言う間だった。
洞爺湖の時間がもう少し長い方が昼食をゆっくり出来たと思いました。

バスガイドさんが3カ国語話して大変そうだったけど色んな言語聞けて話もおもしろかった。

It was a fun day being taken around places that are not accessible individually by bus. The guide's explanations, gourmet information, and souvenir tips were all excellent.

個人では行けない場所に、バスで回ってもらって、楽しい１日となりました。
ガイドさんの、説明やグルメ情報、お土産情報、とてもよかったです。

I came to Sapporo for sightseeing with my colleagues from work, but everyone ended up doing different activities like watching a baseball game or visiting hot spring facilities in the city. I really wanted to go to Lake Toya, so I joined this tour by myself.
There were over 40 participants, and half of them were foreigners. I thought it was impressive that the guide was alternating between Japanese and Chinese.

When I actually went to Lake Toya, I realized that not only is the beauty of Lake Toya remarkable, but the majestic view of Mount Yotei, which can be seen from anywhere in the area, was also very impressive. I could truly feel that Mount Yotei is part of the landscape in the hearts of the people living in this region.

会社の同僚と札幌に観光に来ましたが、他のものは野球観戦だったり市内の温泉施設にとバラバラで行動することに。自分はどうしても洞爺湖に行きたかったので一人でこのツアーに参加しました。
４０人以上の参加者がいましたが半分は外国の方で、ガイドさんも日本語中国語と交互にガイドされていてすごいなと思います。

実際に洞爺湖に行って気づきましたが、洞爺湖そのものの美しさもさることながら、この地域一帯どこからでも見ることができる雄々しい羊蹄山の景観が大変印象的でした。この地に住む人々の心象風景に必ずあの羊蹄山があるのだなと実感することができました。

I participated in the same tour two years ago. Last time, I couldn't see much of the scenery due to rain and wind. This time, there was fog and haze at Cape Earth, but at Lake Toya, it was clear, and I could see the beautifully snow-covered Mount Yotei. Last time, Lake Shikotsu was completely dark, but this time I was able to see the large lake, which was satisfying. I think it's great for those without a rental car since it allows for efficient travel.

2年前に同じツアーに参加しました。前回は雨や風でほとんど景色もみえず。
今回は地球岬では霧や霞もありましたが洞爺湖では晴れて雪の被った羊蹄山も綺麗にみえました。前回は真っ暗な支笏湖でしたが大きな湖を見ることができ満足です。効率よくまわれるのでレンタカーがない人にはとても良いと思います。

I had a great time. At first, I was a bit anxious because there were many tourists from China, but the guide's support was generous and kind, including explanations about the trip and guidance for lunch. When we gathered, I was a little worried because it seemed like the same place as other tours, but as long as I followed the guide and the flow of people, it was fine!

とても楽しかったです。
はじめは中国からの観光の方が多く不安でしたが、旅の説明も含め、昼食の案内などもガイドさんのサポートが手厚く親切でした。
集合のときも、ほかのツアーと同じ場所のようで少し不安でしたが、ガイドさんと人の流れに乗っていれば大丈夫でした！！

Honestly, I didn't have high expectations, but I had a great time.
This time, I traveled to Hokkaido with my sister. I really wanted to go to the Blue Pond, but there were only tours that included the zoo, so we participated in this one instead. The time spent at each stop was okay, but I was disappointed that we didn't have time to eat ice cream at Lake Shikotsu.

正直、あまり期待していなかったけど、とても楽しかったです。
今回は姉と2人での北海道旅行。本当は青い池に行きたかったけど、動物園とセットの物しかなく、こちらに参加しました。一つ一つの立ち寄り時間もまあよかったですが、支笏湖ではアイス等を食べる時間がなくなってしまい、残念でした。

I participated in April.
We traveled from Noboribetsu to Muroran, then to Lake Toya and Lake Shikotsu before returning to Sapporo.
Later, I found out that it was about 380 kilometers. I don't think I could have managed it on my own with a rental car.

The guide was very pleasant and made eye contact with each of us while guiding, which gave me a sense of reassurance.

I hope the following information will be helpful for those who will participate in the future.

- There is no restroom on the bus.
All the stops have restrooms, but there can be long intervals of about an hour and a half, so if you need to use the restroom frequently, I recommend managing your fluid intake.

- There are no power outlets or USB ports.
We left at 8 AM and didn't return until 6 PM, so a mobile battery is essential.

- Paid option for the bear ranch.
The bear ranch is combined with Showa Shinzan, but it lasts less than 40 minutes, so personally, I think it wasn't necessary. However, it's recommended for those who want to see Hokkaido's brown bears up close.

Also, the space between the seats was narrower than I expected, and the person in front of me immediately reclined their seat fully, so my knees were constantly hitting the seat in front. I think this is partly a matter of luck, but the cramped seating was tough during the long journey.

However, considering the price, I was able to visit so many tourist spots, so in the end, I was very satisfied! When I come back to Hokkaido, I plan to request another course from this company.

4月に参加しました。
登別〜室蘭〜洞爺湖〜支笏湖を周って札幌に帰ってきます。
後で調べたら約380キロほどありました。レンタカーではとても自力では回れなかったと思います。

ガイドさんもたいへん感じがよく、ひとりひとりアイコンタクトを取りながらご案内してくださったので安心感がありました。

以下の情報はこれから参加される方に幾らか参考になればと思います。

・車内にトイレがありません。
各下車スポットには全てトイレがあるのですが、間隔が長いところで1時間半ほどありますので、トイレが近い方は水分調整をおすすめします。

・コンセントやUSBポートはありません
朝8時に出て夕方6時まで帰ってきませんので、モバイルバッテリーは必須です。

・熊牧場の有料オプション
昭和新山とセットになっている熊牧場ですが、合わせて40分もありませんので個人的にはなくても良かったかなと思います。北海道のヒグマを間近でみたい方にはおすすめです。

あとはシートの間隔が思ったよりも狭く、しかも前の座席の人がすぐにフルで倒してきたためヒザが常に前席に当たっている状態でした。こればかりは運もあるかと思いますが、移動が長いため座席の狭さは身体に応えました。


ですがこのお値段でこれだけの観光地を回れましたから、最終的には大満足です！また北海道に来た際はこちらの会社の別コースもお願いしようと思います。

I had a day off during my business trip to Sapporo, and since I was in Hokkaido, I wanted to fully enjoy the great outdoors, so I found and joined this tour. It was as fun as the reviews said, and I'm really glad I participated. I was healed by nature! The guide, Onodera, was amazing! He was kind and shared a lot of interesting stories.

札幌での出張で1日休みがあり、せっかく北海道に来たので、大自然を満喫したいと思い、このツアーを見つけ参加しました。口コミの通りとても楽しく参加してよかったなぁと思いました。大自然に癒されました！
ガイドの小野寺さん最高！優しくていろいろ話が聞けてよかったです

I absolutely do not recommend using this tour company.

I have used various travel companies and sites before, but this was the worst experience.

Despite making a reservation for a single passenger one month before the departure date, I was assigned a seat on the day of the tour that was an unfavorable aisle seat where I couldn't see the scenery out of the window.

Other seats on the bus were available for single passengers without anyone sitting next to them, so I was really frustrated and upset.

As a result, I could hardly see the scenery that the guide was explaining, ruining the value of the trip.

A well-organized travel tour would consider changing seats during the itinerary to avoid any advantages or disadvantages, but there was none of that here.

If I had known I would get such a seat from the seating chart at the time of booking, I wouldn't have made the reservation. Moreover, this tour was already overpriced, lacking meals, activities, or souvenirs, and I was completely dissatisfied to be charged the same price as everyone else for such a seat.

To make matters worse, I had to sit next to an unfamiliar elderly woman of the opposite sex in a cramped seat, who repeatedly dozed off and leaned on me during the journey, which was infuriating.

The final straw was the female guide.

She talked incessantly, and it seemed like she wanted to show off her proficiency in Chinese. She would take about two minutes to explain something in Japanese, then spend three times as long repeating it in a high-pitched voice in Chinese, which was utterly exhausting.

Even during the time outside of guiding, she chatted in Chinese with inbound Chinese tourists on the bus, making me want to tell her to be quiet!

In addition to Chinese, she also repeated similar guidance in broken English for inbound guests, making me wonder if this was even a domestic tour in Japan.

If this is the kind of tour guide they have, I would prefer to have her assigned to a bus exclusively for inbound passengers.

It was so noisy that it doubled my fatigue.

I will never use a tour company that lacks such consideration again!

ここのツアーは絶対利用しない方がいいです。

今までいろんな旅行会社、サイトのツアーを利用しましたが最低でした。

一名利用の予約を出発日の１ヶ月前にしたにも関わらず、当日のガイドから割り振られた座席が、車窓の景色が見えない不利な通路側。

バス内他の座席では隣席に人のない一名利用をさせていたので納得いかず本当に頭にきました。

おかげでガイドの案内する車窓の景色は殆ど見えず、旅の値打ちは台無し。

気の利いた旅行ツアーなら席を旅程中に入替え、有利不利などないように配慮しますがここはまるで無し。

こんな席だと予約時の座席表で分かれば予約などしませんでしたし、只でさえ食事もアクティビティも土産も何もつかない割高のツアーなのに、こんな席で全員同一の料金をとられたことに全く納得がいきません。

挙げ句に、狭い座席なのに隣席が見知らぬ年配女性と異性で、道中、居眠りを繰り返し何度も当方にもたれかかってくる始末で、怒鳴りたくなるほどでした。

極めつけは、添乗員の女性ガイドです。

とにかくよく喋ることこの上なく、しかも自らが中国語を堪能なことひけらかしたいのか、日本語で2分ほど話した内容を中国語でその3倍ほども時間をかけて延々と中国後で甲高くまくし立てて話すのにはほとほとうんざり。

ガイド案内以外の時間も、バス内のインバウンド中国人と中国語でお喋りする始末で、少しは黙ってろよ！と言いたくなりました。

中国語以外にも、カタコトの拙い英語でインバウンド客に同様のガイドを繰返すため、ここは日本の国内ツアーではないのか？と首をかしげたくなりました。

こういう添乗員ならば、いっそ、インバウンド乗客だけを乗せたバスに配置してもらいたい。

うるさすぎて疲れも倍加しました。

こんな配慮のかけらもないツアー会社は二度と利用などしません！

About half of the group was made up of foreign tourists, and the guide provided information in both Japanese and Chinese. The guide was really nice, which doubled the fun. On the last day in Hokkaido, we were able to see all the highlights, and it became a memorable experience.

半分くらいは外国人の観光の方で、ガイドさんは日本語と中国語両方で案内していました。
ガイドさんがとってもいい人で楽しさ倍増でした。
北海道最終日にぐるりと見所を一周できて思い出に残りました。

I saw wonderful views! The historical explanations of each sight and the descriptions of what to see were rich and interesting. Discount information for products was also provided. It was very helpful.

素晴らしい景色を観ました！また各景色の歴史説明と見ることの説明が充実且つ面白い。商品の割引情報も提供されました。非常に助かった。

This time, I participated alone. The guide took many photos for me, which became a great memory. The guide was friendly and kind.

今回、一人で参加しました。
写真撮影をガイドさんに、何枚も撮ってもらい良い記念になりました。
感じ良く親切なガイドさんでした。

We were blessed with beautiful weather, and it was a fun day enjoying the scenic views at Jigokudani, Lake Toya, and Lake Shikotsu. I think it was also thanks to our cheerful and very articulate guide. I hope that when I visit again, I can have that guide show me around Hokkaido!

良いお天気にも恵まれ、地獄谷、洞爺湖と支笏湖を訪れて、風光明媚な景色を堪能した楽しい１日でした。にこやかでとてもお話の上手なガイドさんも、おかげもあると思います。また、訪れた時はあのガイドさんに北海道を案内してもらえたらいいな〜と思います。

I participated alone, but I had a great time even as a solo traveler! It was really enjoyable not having to deal with the hassle of arranging trains and buses; I could just ride the bus and visit various places. There were many inbound customers, and indeed, there were few Japanese participants, but they provided guidance in Japanese, so I didn't encounter any issues, and I'm glad I signed up. If I have the opportunity, I would like to join another plan next time.

1人での参加でしたがぼっちでも楽しめました！
自分で電車やバスの段取りする煩わしさがなくバスに乗ってるだけであちこち回れたのが本当に楽でした。
インバウンドのお客様が多くて日本人の参加は確かに少ないですが、ちゃんと日本語でもガイドしてくれるので何も困った事はありませんでしたし申込んで良かったです。
また機会があれば次は他のプランで参加したいと思います。
