All Reviews for Japan Autumn Tours 2025

The multilingual guide was wonderful.
The weather was decent. A scorching summer in Hokkaido.

Since I was deeply impressed by the Furano course I took previously, the combination of mountain roads, rocky mountains, lakes, and the sea felt monotonous.
The bear ranch had both Noboribetsu and Showa Shinzan, and I visited the latter. The bears screaming from their cages were tough for me to handle.

The price is justified.
The Furano course was just too good.

The guide was truly a wonderful person.

3カ国語ガイドさんが素敵でした。
天気はまずまず。猛暑の北海道。

以前回った富良野コースが大感動だっただけに、山道と岩山と湖、海…の組み合わせは、単調に思えました。
クマ牧場は登別と昭和新山があって、行ったのは後者。数頭の檻の中から叫ぶ熊は、私には酷でした。

料金には見合ってます。
富良野コースが良すぎるのです。

ガイドさん、本当に素敵な方でした。

On my first trip to Hokkaido, I participated in day trip bus tours to Showa Shinzan, Lake Toya, Lake Shikotsu, and more. Hokkaido is vast, and I was worried about driving myself and the time it would take, but by joining the tour, I was able to efficiently visit the sightseeing spots without the stress of driving.

初めての北海道旅行、昭和新山、洞爺湖、支笏湖、他の日帰りバスツアーに参加させてもらいました。広い北海道、自分達の運転では不安もあり時間もかかりそうだったのですが、ツアーに参加することで、運転で神経を使うことなく効率よく観光地を回ることができました。

I participated alone, but I had a great time. I was guided by a bus guide from Hong Kong, who had a wonderful smile and was very kind and approachable. I thought it was amazing that they could speak three languages. They also took a lot of photos! Most of the participants were foreigners, with only a few Japanese. I would definitely like to participate again if I have the chance.

1人参加でしたがとっても楽しめました
香港出身のバスガイドさんに案内してもらいましたが、笑顔が素敵でとても親切、そして親しみやすかったです
3カ国語話せるのはすごいなと思いました
写真もたくさん撮ってくれました！
参加者はほぼ外国人で日本人は少なめでした。
また機会があればぜひ参加したいです

I made a last-minute online reservation the night before my trip, but they handled everything without any issues. The guide was wonderful, providing explanations in three languages! The tour was packed with activities, but I was taken to places I wouldn't have been able to reach on my own, and I'm very satisfied that I chose this tour. There were only a few Japanese customers, but everyone was calm, and the bus was quiet, which was nice. Thank you very much. I look forward to your assistance when I visit Hokkaido again! 😊

弾丸旅行で前々日の夜に急遽ネット予約しましたが問題なく対応してもらえました。
ガイドさんは3カ国で説明してくれて素晴らしかったです！ツアーの内容は詰め詰めプランだけど、自分たちの足では行かれなかっただろう場所も最短ルートで連れてってもらえて、ツアーにしてよかったと大満足です。お客さんも日本人少ないけど穏やかでバス内も静かでよかったです。
ありがとうございました。また北海道旅行に来た時はよろしくお願いします(^^)

The weather was different at each tourist spot. It's better to have a folding umbrella. Depending on the location, it varied between rain, clouds, and sunshine. Lake Toya and Showa Shinzan had good weather.

各観光地で天気が違った。折り畳み傘はあったほうがいいです。
場所によって、雨、曇り、晴れとまちまちでした。　洞爺湖、昭和新山は天気がよかった。

I was very surprised and flustered because the schedule on the website was different from the time announced on the day, and I had to return to the airport. I really wished the information had been updated consistently.

The tour itself was very good. The tour guide was also very dedicated and left a good impression!

Most of the participants were foreigners, but everyone had good manners and kept to the schedule.

ウェブ上のタイムスケジュールと、当日アナウンスされた時間が異なり、空港に帰らなければならなかったので、とても驚き焦りました
常に情報は更新して欲しかったです。

ツアー自体はとてもよかったです。添乗員さんもとても一生懸命で、好感が持てました！

外国の方がほとんどでしたが、皆さんマナーも良くて、時間もきちんと守られていました

The bus seats were narrow and my body started to hurt. The guide was Chinese and provided a trilingual guide, so it was busy listening, and the Japanese was sometimes a bit shaky.

バスの席が狭く体が痛くなった。　中国人のガイドによる3か国語のガイドであったので聞いていて忙しい、日本語が時々怪しい

This time, I visited Lake Toya, Noboribetsu Hell Valley, Showa Shinzan, and Cape Chikyu for the first time. It was a Sunday, but perhaps due to the heat, the bus and the places we visited weren't crowded.

At Cape Chikyu, the tour guide mentioned it might rain or be foggy, but it turned out well. We could see Mount Komagatake, though it was far away.

I was unsure about what to eat for lunch, but I decided to take some photos first, so we went to the lakeside of Lake Toya. After taking pictures, we went to a soba restaurant where the handmade soba was delicious, and the dipping sauce had a rich flavor. However, they didn't serve soba-yu.

It drizzled at the Silo Observation Deck. It poured heavily until we reached Lake Shikotsu, but the rain stopped after we arrived. The tour guide helped us find good photo spots and even took some pictures for us, which was really helpful. I was hesitant at first, but I'm glad I participated. Thank you very much.

今回、洞爺湖、登別地獄谷、昭和新山、地球岬すべて初めて行きました。
日曜日でしたが、厚さのためかバスも行ったところも混雑はしていませんでした。

　地球岬で雨か霧と添乗員さんが言っていましたが、良い方向に外れました。駒ヶ岳は見えました。遠いですね。

昼食に何を食べるか迷いましたが、とりあえず写真と言うことで、洞爺湖湖畔へ行き、写真撮影後に蕎麦屋さんへ手打ち蕎麦で、蕎麦つゆは出しがきいていて美味しかった。
　そば湯は、出ないんですね。

　サイロ展望台で雨がぱらつきました。
　支笏湖へ行くまで土砂降りでしたが、到着後は雨も上がりました。
　添乗員さんから、写真撮影スポットを教えて貰い、またシャッターも押して貰ったので、すごく助かりました。
　迷ったのですが、参加して良かったです。
　ありがとうございました。

Our family of three took our first trip to Hokkaido.
Planning for the second day was challenging, so we decided to sign up for a bus tour.
It was a very efficient day, allowing us to visit many places and have a fulfilling experience. The guide spoke Japanese, Chinese, and English, sharing a lot of information during the bus ride and kindly took photos for us at the sightseeing spots. I am truly grateful for the wonderful memories we created. Although the time at each location was limited, I highly recommend this tour for those who want to explore various places. I would love to join another tour if the opportunity arises again.

家族３人で初めての北海道旅行。
２日目の計画が難しく、思い切ってバスツアーに申し込んでみました。
とても効率よくたくさん回れて充実した１日でした。ガイドさんは日、中、英語を駆使して、バスの中でたくさんお話をしてくださり、観光先でも写真を撮って頂いたり、本当に親切にしてもらいました。思い出深い1日になり感謝です。それぞれの滞在時間はあまりありませんが、とにかくあちこち回りたい人にはとてもおすすめです。今度また機会があれば他のツアーも参加したいと思います。

On the third day of our day trip in Hokkaido, we started at Noboribetsu Hell Valley, then visited Cape Earth, the Showa Shinzan Bear Ranch, Toyako Onsen, the Silo Observation Deck, and finally Lake Shikotsu, fully enjoying the beauty of Hokkaido's great nature. The weather was nice on the first and second days, but unfortunately, it was cloudy on the third day, which was a bit disappointing. If it had been a clear blue sky, we could have enjoyed a different landscape.

北海道三日目の日帰りツアーは、登別地獄谷から始まって、地球岬、昭和新山の熊牧場、洞爺湖温泉、サイロ展望台、支笏湖へと、北海道ならではの、大自然の美しさをおおいに堪能しまし。一日目、二日目は天気が良かったのですが、三日目は残念ながら曇り空だったのが少し残念でした。
快晴の青空だったら、また違った風景を楽しむことができたでしょう。

80% of the participants were foreigners, and the guide spoke three languages: Japanese, Chinese, and English. It was great to be able to tour efficiently.

8割が外国の方で、ガイドは、日本語、中国語、英語の３ケ国語でした。
効率良く観光出来て、良かったです。

The guide spoke three languages and included jokes along the way, which made it enjoyable. They kindly helped us choose souvenirs, and the ones we bought and ate were delicious. I had a great time even participating alone. Thank you very much.

ガイドさんは3か国語を話せて、途中ジョークも入って楽しかった。親切にどのお土産を買うかも教えてくれて、実際に買って食べても美味しかった。一人参加でも楽しめました。どうもありがとうございました。

We gathered early in the morning, but we boarded the bus with a very fun tour guide whose humor blew away our sleepiness. The guide spoke three languages and made announcements that were so engaging that I couldn't help but listen. I recommend this tour for those who want to visit tourist attractions efficiently. The guide enthusiastically took photos for us and recommended delicious food, sharing tips on how to enjoy our short stays at each location. Thank you to the guide for making our family trip of four so wonderful!

早朝集合でしたが、眠気も吹き飛ぶ様なユーモアのあるとっても楽しいトークの添乗員さんのバスに乗り込みました。
三ヶ国語を操り、無駄の無いアナウンスで、つい聞き入ってしまいましたね。観光名所を回りたい方には無駄なく回れるツアーなのでおすすめします。添乗員さんが張り切って写真を撮って下さったり、美味しモノを薦めて下さったりと、各箇所での短い滞在時間に楽しむ方法も教えて下さりました。
添乗員さん、私達４人家族の旅を素敵なモノにして下さり感謝します!

The participants this time were mostly from overseas, and the tour guide, Sho-san, provided detailed explanations in Japanese, Chinese, and English. He was very interesting, knowledgeable, and informative, making him an excellent guide. Thank you very much! If there’s another opportunity next time, I would like to request Sho-san again.

I have participated in many activities, and Sho-san is a fantastic guide. He speaks Chinese, Japanese, and English very fluently, and he explains each sightseeing spot in great detail and clarity, keeping everything on schedule. Thank you very much, Mr. Sho-san. I hope the next tour I join will also have Sho-san as the guide.

今回の参加者はほぼ海外の方で添乗員しょうさんは日本語と中国語　英語での詳しく説明でした、話も面白く、知識や情報豊富でとても素晴らしいガイドさんでした、ありがとうございました♪
また次回機会があればしょうさんにもお願いします。‍♀️
残念なところは座席に充電用のコンセントがあればもっと最高と思う

我參加了不少活動しょうさん是一位非常棒的導遊 中文 日文 英文 說得非常流利每到一個景點也都解釋的非常詳細清楚時間也都抓的很準時
非常感謝しょうさん先生
希望下次參加的團導遊也是しょうさん

It was a fun tour packed with various highlights. However, it can be affected by the weather... Also, it can be tough if there are people who don't stick to the departure time.

いろいろ詰まったツアーで楽しかったです。
見どころ満載。ただ天気に左右される恐れがありますので…
あと、出発時間を守らない人が居るとツラい。

60% of the tourist information is in Chinese, 30% in Japanese, and 10% in English.

Do you really need that much explanation in Chinese?

In the end, we had to wait for an hour due to a bus breakdown.

We switched to another bus to continue.

The Chinese guide was laughing. It's unbelievable.

中国語の観光案内6割、日本語観光案内3割、英語語観光案内1割。

中国語の説明、そこまでしますか？

仕上げにバスの故障で1時間の待機。

別のバスに乗り換えての再開。

中国人ガイドは笑っていた。　有り得ません。

I was worried about the rain forecast, but it didn't rain, and I was able to enjoy sightseeing and create wonderful memories. The guide's stories were very interesting, and I had a great time. If I have the chance, I would like to use this service again.

雨予報で心配していましたが、雨が降ることもなく、無事に観光ができて、いい思い出作りができました。
ガイドさんのお話しもとても面白く、楽しませてもらいました。
機会があれば、また利用させてもらいたいです。

Most of the participants were from overseas, and the explanations were in Japanese and Chinese. The male tour guide (I think his name was Sho) was very knowledgeable and occasionally included jokes while guiding us. It was forecasted to rain, but it turned out sunny, so we were lucky to have a great view. I had a wonderful day for 6,800 yen.

参加者はほぼ海外の方で日本語と中国語での説明でした。
添乗員の男性（しょうさんだったかな？）の知識が豊富で時々ジョークも交えながらガイドしてくれました。
雨予報でしたが晴れたので景色もよく見えラッキーでした。
6800円でお得な1日を過ごせました。

This is a very good bus tour that chooses popular tourist spots that are difficult to reach by local buses or trains. The guide explains in Japanese, Chinese, and English. Although the departure time is early, I think it was great because we could sightsee in various places before other buses arrived and it got crowded. It would have been better if there were charging outlets at the seats.

路線バス・電車では行きにくい人気の観光場所をチョイスしている、非常に良いバスツアーです。ガイドさんが日本語・中国語・英語と３つを駆使して説明してくれます。出発時間が早めですが、そのおかげで他のバスが来て混雑する前に、あちこちを観光できて良かったと思います。座席に充電用のコンセントがあればベターでした。

Although the stay is short, you can experience a lot of natural beauty. You can also enjoy delicious food, and even if you indulge a little, you'll still manage to fit it all in!

滞在が短い時間ですがたくさんの自然美を体験できます
美味しいものも食べて欲張ってもなんとか間に合いますよ

The one-day tour was very efficient, allowing us to explore thoroughly, and I was 100% satisfied.

The guide's hospitality was wonderful, and their stories were interesting and full of information. Thank you, guide!

ワンデイツアー、とても効率よく、周遊し、満足度100%です。

ガイドさんのホスピタリティが素晴らしくて、お話も面白く、情報も満載でした。
ガイドさん、ありがとうございます。

Lake Toya was mediocre, but everything else was good. Especially Lake Shikotsu. It was beautiful. I do not recommend the bear ranch.

I felt that about half of the visitors were foreigners, particularly from China, and I think the guide was also from China. It felt a bit strange to be guided by someone from China, but they explained everything properly in Japanese, Chinese, and English, so there were no issues. The Chinese visitors were not noisy, and I was able to rest soundly on the bus between tourist spots.

洞爺湖はイマイチですが、その他は良かったです。特に支笏湖。綺麗でした。クマ牧場はオススメしません。
利用客には外国の方、特に中国の方が半分くらいだと感じましたし、ガイドさんも中国出身の方と思います。中国の方にガイドされるのも変な感じですが、きちんと日本語、中国語、英語で説明してくださり不都合は無かったです。中国の方々も煩くなく、観光スポット間のバス中はぐっすり休めました。

The guide was from China and was excellent, and they spoke Japanese well. Since we had front-row seats at Lake Shikotsu, we spotted a red fox with a cherry salmon in its mouth. Additionally, we were able to converse with the driver, making it a premium experience.

ガイドさんが中国の方でサイコー、日本語も大丈夫。支笏湖で最前席だったので、ヒメマス咥えたキタキツネ目撃、その他、運転手さんとも会話できてプレミアム体験となりました。

One-day bus tour itinerary in southern Hokkaido

In the morning, we went to Noboribetsu Hell Valley. Unfortunately, there were no little monkeys soaking in the hot springs since it was summer.

Next, we visited Showa Shinzan, formed by volcanic rock accumulation, and fed the Hokkaido brown bears at the bear ranch.

Then we toured Lake Toya, the largest hot water lake in Hokkaido. There isn't much around Lake Toya, but you can feed the fish. However, the view from the Lake Toya observation deck is excellent, and the TOYA sign is great for photos.

I must mention that our guide, Jiajia, was fantastic! She spoke Chinese, English, and Cantonese fluently. Each attraction was introduced perfectly and with a good sense of humor. It was both educational and entertaining; I regret not joining the tour earlier. I didn't have much luck exploring Otaru on my own.

参团北海道南 巴士一日游行程

早上去了登别地狱谷
可惜夏天没有泡温泉的小猴子

紧接去了火山岩堆积形成的昭和新山
熊牧场喂了北海道棕熊

接着周游的洞爷湖是北海道最大的温水湖
洞爷湖旁边没啥、可以喂鱼
但洞爷湖展望台绝佳、TOYA牌子太好拍照了。

不得不提导游嘉嘉太棒了！中英文、粤语都说的很溜～
而且每个景点介绍的都很恰到好处、也比较幽默。寓教于乐、后悔没有早点参天。 自己去玩的小樽都、没玩出名堂。

The guide, Mr. Sho, is very knowledgeable, and his humorous explanations are wonderful! He is fluent in both Japanese and Chinese! It's more amazing than I imagined.

ガイドさんのショウさんは知識豊富で、ユーモアの解説も素晴らしい！日本語と中国語ペラペラ！想像以上すごい

I went with a friend. The weather was nice. We took a lot of photos. It has unique features compared to other places. It was a great experience.

友達と行きました。天気が良かったです。いっぱい写真を撮りました。他のところと比べて特徴があります。いい体験でした。

The bus didn't require masks, but there weren't many people talking, so it was comfortable! The tour had about 30 people, half Japanese and half Asian! Both the guide and the driver were kind. The beauty of Cape Erimo and the grilled whelk skewers were delicious! The guide, Shu, used Japanese, Chinese, and English, and his multilingual guidance was impressive! His dedication really came through! Thank you very much.

バスの中は特にマスク着用ではなかったけど、喋ってる人も余り居なくて快適でした！
日本人とアジアの人半分半分で約30人のツアーでした！ガイドさんも運転手さんも優しくて、、
地球岬の美しさとつぶ貝の焼いた串(串つぶ)
美味しかったです！
ガイドのシュウさん？日本語、中国語、英語
3カ国使ってのガイドは圧巻でした！
一生懸命さが伝わって来ました！！
ありがとうございました。

It was a tour full of highlights! The guide provided detailed information, which made it even more enjoyable. I think it would be tough to go on our own due to the distance and lack of knowledge.

見所満載のツアーでした！ガイドさんが詳しく教えてくれるので、より一層楽しめました。自分達で行くには距離的にも辛いし、知識もないし大変だと思います。

About two-thirds of the guests were foreigners, so the guide provided explanations in Japanese, English, and Chinese repeatedly. There were some parts that were a bit difficult to understand, but the guide was sincere, which made it acceptable.

The tour had an appropriate time allocation, allowing for efficient sightseeing, and I was satisfied with that. However, at the lunch area in Lake Toya Onsen, most of the shops were closed? Unfortunately, this meant lunch ended up being a convenience store bento, which was disappointing.

Overall, it was excellent.

外国人のお客さんが2/3位占めてたので、ガイドさんが日本語、英語、中国語で繰り返しガイドされて、少し分かり辛い所もありましたが誠実な方でしたのて許容範囲でした。
ツアー内容は適切な時間配分で効率良く観光でき満足でした。
ただ、昼食エリアだった洞爺湖温泉では、お店の大半が営業時間外？だったため、昼食がコンビニ弁当になってしまったのが残念でした。
トータルでは◎でした。

The tour guide was lively, their voice was clear, and the explanations were easy to understand and interesting. They were also very considerate, taking photos of everyone.

The weather was great, making it a wonderful experience.

添乗員さんがハキハキしていて、声もよく届き説明も分かりやすく面白かった。
みんなの写真を撮ってあげるなど気配りも最高でした。

天気も恵まれとてもいい体験となりました。
