All Reviews for Japan Autumn Tours 2025

The reservation made the day before was fine. Shirakawa-go and Ainokura had different atmospheres, which was nice. The guide explained the highlights, so we were able to tour efficiently. I think the time from 8:30 to 15:50 was just right.

前日予約で大丈夫でした。
白川郷と相倉、雰囲気が違って良かったです。
ガイドさんが見どころを説明してくれるので、効率よくまわれました。
8時半から15時50分という時間もちょうど良かったと思います。

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！

During our experience in October, it was cold, and the day we went was a bit cloudy, but we were still able to enjoy nature enough. The water was clearer and more beautiful than we imagined, with such transparency that we could see fish and the grass and trees submerged in the water. We were torn between various tours, but choosing this experience was definitely a great decision!

10月の体験で寒く、私たちが行った日は少し曇りでしたが、十分自然を楽しむことはできました。水は想像以上に透き通っていてキレイで、お魚や水の中に沈んでいる草や木も目視でみれちゃうくらいの透明度でした。いろんなツアーと迷いましたが、この体験にしてとっても良かったです！

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。

It was a great tour where we could visit many places in one day, including Lake Toya, the hot spring town, the Bear Ranch and Showa Shinzan, Hell Valley, and the outlet mall. The explanations and additional information were thorough, making the visit enjoyable. Although some sightseeing spots were compact and a bit rushed, I was very satisfied with the amount of sightseeing we could do. Thank you very much. Thank you, attendant O!

洞爺湖→温泉街→クマ牧場と昭和新山→地獄谷→アウトレットなど一日でたくさん回れた良いツアーでした。解説や補足が丁寧で気持ちよく見学できました。コンパクトで少し慌ただしい見学地もありましたがたくさん観光出来て満足度は高いツアーでした。ありがとうございました。搭乗員Oさん、ありがとうございました

Anyway, all the time is tight.
Could we remove one thing? I think it would be better to extend each part by 15 minutes for a more satisfying experience.
Honestly, when I look back on what was fun after the tour, I don't remember much.

とにかく、全ての時間がタイト。
何か一つをぬいて？その分15分ずつ伸ばした方が体験に満足かを話が出ると思う。
ツアーかわ終わった後に、何が楽しかったか振り返ってみてもあんまり覚えてないというのが正直な感想です。

The weather was favorable, and I enjoyed the scenery of Lake Toya and Hell Valley. We arrived at Lake Shikotsu before sunset, and after a while, the Ice Festival venue was illuminated. However, it was still somewhat bright outside when it was time to gather. I was hoping to see the ice formations glowing in the dark, so I felt a bit disappointed.

天候に恵まれ、洞爺湖や地獄谷の景色は楽しめました。日没前に支笏湖着、しばらくして氷濤まつり会場はライトアップされましたが、まだ周囲が薄明るいうちに集合時間となりました。暗い中で浮かび上がるような氷濤を期待していたので、残念に思いました。

The construction went smoothly, but the return bus was like a shared bus, with people who weren't passengers getting on... It's disappointing.

工程は問題なく、帰りのバスが寄り合いバスみたいになっていた、客では無い人が乗ってきたり…。
残念です

I was taken to a place that is quite difficult to go to alone, and I had a valuable experience. However, the guide's rapid-fire talking was exhausting. There were many inbound foreign tourists on the tour, and the guide spoke a lot in English, but the pronunciation wasn't very clear, which was a bit concerning. Overall, the tour itself was good.

なかなか１人では行けない場所に連れて行ってもらい、貴重な体験が出来ました。
ただ、ガイドの人が弾丸トークで疲れました。ツアー客がインバウンドの外国人が多くて、英語でたくさん話していたのですが、発音がきれいでなくて、それも気になりました。
ツアー自体は良かったです。

On the second day of my first solo trip, I had reserved this bus, and the seats were fairly spacious and comfortable. The bus guide was cheerful and spoke clearly, which made the experience very pleasant. The driver also greeted us every time, which was really nice!

初めての一人旅で2日目にこのバスを予約していたのですが、席もある程度広く居心地がよかったです。バスガイドさんも明るくハキハキとお話される方でとても心地よかったです。運転手さんも毎回声をかけてくれてとても良かったです！

Comments from a foreign traveler on a solo trip.
This was my first time participating in a day tour within Japan.

Since most of the participants were foreigners, the guide provided clear explanations in both Japanese and English without any breaks, covering everything from highlights to food, as well as important notes. There were also some interesting stories sprinkled in, making the otherwise dull travel time enjoyable. Thank you very much.

The female driver was also extremely safe, which was a relief. Those prone to motion sickness will be just fine.

Winter is certainly beautiful, but I believe summer will be lovely as well. I hope to come back someday.

一人旅の外国人からのコメント。
人生初めて日本国内で日帰りツアーに参加。

外国人は殆どのため、ガイドの方は休みなくずっと日本語と英語両方わかりやすく説明してくれました、見どころから食べものまで、注意事項などなど、ちょこちょこと面白い話も出てくる、つまらない移動時間は楽しく過ごしました、誠にありがとうございました。

女性の運転手さんも、超安全運転で助かります。車酔い人も全然ok。

冬はもちろん綺麗ですが、夏場もきっと綺麗だと思います。いつか、また来たいです。

The day went by in a flash. The guide shared some recommended souvenirs, which was helpful. Unfortunately, at the end, during the Shikotsuko Ice Festival, we didn't have enough time to see the illuminated areas. It was also crowded, and there were long lines everywhere, so there were quite a few places we couldn't see.

１日があっという間でした。
ガイドさんがおススメのお土産など教えて下さったので、参考になりました。
残念だったのは、最後に行った支笏湖氷濤まつりで、時間が短かったので、ライトアップしたところが見えなかった事です。また、混雑していて、どこも並んでいたので、見れない所が結構ありました。　

I participated alone! I love visiting geoparks, and I joined this tour because I learned that we would be going to the Usu Volcano and Lake Toya area, which is a UNESCO Global Geopark.

During the free time for lunch, I strolled around Lake Toya and found the Lake Toya Visitor Center nearby. I also stopped by the attached Volcanic Science Museum. Additionally, there was a special corner about the geopark inside the Lake Toya Cultural Center, which had a parking lot, and I found it very interesting to explore.

During the free time at Showa Shinzan, I was able to visit the Usu Volcano Geopark Information Center and the Showa Shinzan Park Service Center. I also made a trip to the Noboribetsu Park Center at Hell Valley, where I was thrilled to experience the grandeur of nature and learn about various information.

This tour is easy to join from Sapporo, and the guide was friendly, making it a very meaningful experience. I highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in exploring geoparks.

1人で参加しました！
私はジオパーク巡りが好きで、今回も世界ジオパークである有珠山・洞爺湖エリアに行けると知り、参加しました。

お昼ご飯の自由時間に洞爺湖周辺を散策していたところ、近くに洞爺湖ビジターセンターがあり、併設の火山科学館にも立ち寄りました。さらに、駐車場のある洞爺湖文化センター内にもジオパークの特集コーナーがあり、とても興味深く見学させていただきました。

昭和新山での自由時間には、有珠山ジオパーク火山村情報館や昭和新山パークサービスセンターにも立ち寄ることができました。また、地獄谷では登別パークセンターにも足を運び、自然の雄大さを肌で感じるとともに、さまざまな情報に触れられたことも嬉しかったです。

札幌から気軽に参加できるツアーで、ガイドさんも気さくな方で、とても有意義な時間を過ごせました。
ジオパーク巡りをしたい方にも、とてもおすすめのツアーです。

I was able to ride comfortably without any fear on the highways and snowy mountain roads from the city. Thank you very much.

市街地から高速、雪の峠道も何一つ怖い思いをせずに、安心して乗車してました。ありがとうございました。

The tour guide was very good at talking and made the travel time enjoyable by sharing interesting sights. Thanks to their recommendations, I was able to enjoy visiting both Shirakawa-go and Gokayama, and I was very satisfied.

The bus was clean, had WiFi, and was comfortable. They provided a bag for trash collection. There was also a small refrigerator on the bus where they offered to keep items purchased as souvenirs.

This was my first time using this site, and I'm glad I chose it.

添乗員さんはとてもお話上手で移動時間に見どころを楽しく教えてくれました。おすすめのおかげで白川郷、五箇山どちらも楽しく巡ることが出来てとても満足でした。

バスは綺麗でWiFiもあり快適です。
ゴミは回収袋を用意してくれました。
バス内に小さな冷蔵庫がありお土産で買われた物など預かってくれるサービスもありました。

初めて利用するサイトでしたがここに決めて良かったです。

It was a packed schedule, but I'm glad everything went smoothly. The tour guide's explanations were spot on and easy to understand, and the recommended food was delicious.

盛りだくさんのスケジュールでしたが、スムーズに回れてよかったです。
添乗員さんの説明がバッチリでわかりやすくお薦めしてくれた食べ物もおいしかったです。

Maintaining and very well organised. The tour guide was friendly and ensuring that all the members are well taken care of.

Visiting Noboribetsu Onsen and Lake Shikotsu during the snowy season can be quite challenging, so this tour was very convenient and great. There were several restroom breaks along the way, making the trip very smooth. The tour guide was kind and helpful, which was also a plus.

登別温泉や支笏湖に行くのは雪が多い季節は大変なのでこのツアーが、とても便利でよかったです。
トイレ休憩も途中で何度かありとてもスムーズでした。
添乗員さんが親切で良かったです。

The guide was fluent in both English and Japanese and very kind. I appreciated their ability to respond flexibly to situations and provide various explanations.

ガイドさんが英語、日本語流暢で親切でした。臨機黄変な対応もしてくれるし、色々と説明してくれるのはありがたいです。

They cover the most famous temples in Kyoto and while the tour guide doesn't speak english, she was very patient and helpful! Overal a great tour for the price!!

First of all, I would like to sincerely thank Driver Matsuzaki (I apologize if I misheard your name) for your polite and safe driving. The next day, I participated in a half-day sightseeing bus tour in Sapporo, and I was very happy when the driver recognized me and said, "You're the one from yesterday."

I also appreciate all the consideration you showed regarding my shoes. I was truly impressed when I saw the guide bowing his head while driving in response to the guide's "Thank you." He is truly a wonderful person.

The guide for the Sapporo city tour was also very helpful. Everyone, including the driver and the guide, was fantastic, making for a very enjoyable trip.

As for the bus tour itself, despite the long itinerary of 10 hours, I was able to fully enjoy the beautiful snowy landscapes of Lake Shikotsu, Lake Toya, and the Usuzan Ropeway, and the time flew by.

On the next day's sightseeing in Sapporo, the Okurayama Jump Stadium and the Shiroi Koibito Park were also very nice.

In closing, thank you very much to the driver and the guide for a truly enjoyable trip.

先ずは、松崎ドライバーさん（お名前を聞き間違えていましたら申し訳ありません）の、丁寧で安全な運転に心より感謝いたします。
次の日にも札幌市内午前半日観光バスツアーに参加しましたが、その際に運転手さんから「昨日の方ですね」と覚えていていただき、大変嬉しく思いました。
また、靴の件でもいろいろとご配慮いただき、ありがとうございました。
ガイドさんの「ありがとうございました」に合わせて、運転しながら頭を下げておられる姿を拝見し、本当に素晴らしい方だなと感じました。
札幌市内観光のガイドさんにも大変お世話になりました。
このように、運転手さんやガイドさんが皆さま素敵な方々で、とても楽しい旅となりました。
肝心のバスツアーですが、10時間という長い行程にもかかわらず、支笏湖・洞爺湖・有珠山ロープウェイと、それぞれの美しい雪景色を満喫でき、あっという間に時間が過ぎました。
次の日の札幌観光では、大倉山ジャンプ競技場や白い恋人パークもとても良かったです。
最後になりますが、運転手さん、ガイドさん、楽しい旅を本当にありがとうございました。

It was a snowy day due to the cold wave from the Sea of Japan, but fortunately, the snow stopped at Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya. We enjoyed a wonderful view from Mount Usu.

日本海からの寒波で雪の多い日でしたが、幸い、支笏湖と洞爺湖では雪が止みました。有珠山からは、素晴らしい景色を楽しめました。

Most of the announcements were in Chinese, and there were no announcements in Japanese. The content and timing of the announcements in English and Chinese were too different.

中国語での案内がほとんどで、日本語の案内はなし。英語と中国語の案内の内容と時間に差がありすぎました。

I visited on New Year's Day. It was a very cold day, but the water flow was slow, which made me feel rather refreshed. Since it’s warm inside the bus, it’s better to dress in layers.

元旦に訪れました。とても寒い日でしたが、水流はゆっくりで、むしろすがすがしい気持ちになりました。バスの中は暖かいので、重ね着したほうが良いでしょう。
