All Reviews for Bus Tours

It rained only when we arrived at the Blue Pond, but the weather cleared up quickly, and we were able to enjoy a comfortable day with mostly cloudy skies. There were about half foreigners and half Japanese people, and the guide did a great job of keeping everything organized on the bus, making it a fun day overall. I bought some wine from the winery where we did tastings, and it was really delicious.

青い池に着いた時だけ雨にやられましたが、すぐ天気が回復し、その後もずっと曇りで快適に過ごせました。外国人の方と日本人半々ぐらいで、バス車内でもガイドの方がうまくまとめて、一日中楽しく過ごせました。ワイナリーで試飲したワイン買って帰ったんですが、めっちゃ美味しかったです。

I participated because I wanted to see Showa Shinzan. We started with two buses, and there were hardly any Japanese people. My bus was mostly filled with tourists from China, so it can't be helped, but the tour guide was also Chinese, and the sightseeing commentary was mostly in Chinese. Although they spoke some Japanese, the in-bus commentary was not fluent, and the endings were in Chinese, making it impossible to understand the important explanations. I believe the other bus with English speakers understood much better.

昭和新山を見たくて参加しました。バス2台でスタートし，ほとんど日本人がいませんでした。私のバスはほぼ中国からの観光客なので仕方ないのでしょうが，添乗員さんも中国の方で観光ガイドはほぼ中国語，日本語を話されますが，車内のガイドは流暢とは言えず，文末は中国語になっており，大事な説明が全く分かりませんでした。もう一台の英語圏の方が余程理解したと思いました。

I visited almost on the same date as last year, but due to the extreme heat, the lavender was more wilted than last year, which was a bit disappointing. I would like to participate again a little earlier next year. However, I was able to enjoy a lot of beautiful scenery and it was very healing. The tour guide and the driver were both very nice. Thank you very much.

If I could wish for anything, I would have liked about 30 more minutes at Farm Tomita.

去年とほぼ同じ日にちに行ったのですが､猛暑で去年よりラベンダーが枯れていてそれがちょっと残念でした｡
来年はもう少し早めにまた参加したいと思います｡
でも綺麗な景色を沢山堪能出来て癒されました｡
添乗員さんも運転手さんもとても良い方でした｡
ありがとうございました｡

欲を言えば､ファーム富田であと30分ぐらい時間が欲しかったです｡

I had visited Sapporo many times, but it was my first time at Hitsujigaoka. However, you can't miss the classics. Despite being close to the city, there is a vast pasture, and I was able to see not only sheep but also a herd of deer against the evening scenery. It was a fulfilling tour combined with Okurayama Ski Jump! I had a great time.

何度も札幌を訪れていましたが羊ヶ丘は初めてでした。しかし、やはり定番は外してはいけませんね。市内近郊にもかかわらず広大な放牧地があり札幌ドーム、ヒツジはもちろんシカの群れも夕景に見れました。大倉山シャンツェと合わせて充実したツアーでした！とても楽しかったです。

As a way to show filial piety, I traveled with my mother in her 60s from the metropolitan area. The meeting place was easy to find, but after that, I felt like I had come to a foreign country. After all, 90% of the participants were from China, and the bus guide was also Chinese. At first, they spoke both Japanese and Chinese equally, but pretty early on, it was about 90% Chinese for the entire time. The guide was getting excited with the customers on their own... The beautiful scenery felt more like a trip to China than Hokkaido. Fortunately, I had been studying Chinese, so I could vaguely understand what was being said, but if I hadn't, I think I would have felt quite exhausted. The calls of "Japanese people!" and "Chinese people!" were also somewhat unpleasant. The serene and quiet scenery was completely ruined by the loud Chinese announcements. Moreover, there was hardly any time to rest. It's understandable due to the busy schedule, but with only 20 to 30 minutes of stay, everything felt rushed. I was exhausted from the shower of Chinese in the bus!

親孝行として、60代の母と2人で首都圏から旅行しに来ました。集合場所は分かりやすかったけど、それ以降はまるで異国へ旅しに来たかのような気持ちに。なんたって参加者は中国の方が9割。バスガイドさんも中国の方。最初は日本語と中国語の両方を半々ずつ話してくれていたけど、割と序盤から9:1くらいでずーーーーーっと中国語を聞かされてました。ガイドさん、勝手にお客さんと盛り上がってるし、、。折角の風情ある景色も、なんだか北海道ではなくて中国旅行しにきたみたい。たまたま私は中国語を勉強していたのでうっすら何を話しているか分かったんですけど、全く分からなかったとしたらかなり疲労感がたまると思いました。日本人の方ー！中国人の方ーー！という声掛けもなんか嫌でした。せっかくの穏やかで静かな景色が中華の大きな声アナウンスで本当台無し。しかも休む間が全然無い。忙しいスケジュールだから仕方ないけど滞在時間が20,30分しかないから超駆け足。バスの中では中国語のシャワー笑つかれました！

I saw an exquisite view and was very satisfied. Thank you. I will definitely recommend it to my friends. Summer in Hokkaido is beautiful. ^_^

絶妙な景色見た、凄く満足した。感謝します。友達に絶対おすすめします。北海道の夏は綺麗^_^......

I was worried about the weather, but it turned out to be cloudy and we managed to proceed. Asahiyama Zoo was small and easy to explore, and it was enjoyable. I also enjoyed the Blue Pond.

心配していました天気もなんとか曇りで進みました。旭山動物園はこじんまりとして見学しやすくてたのしかったです。青い池も楽しみました。

The tour on July 19th started with cloudy weather and rain in the forecast. I thought, "This is the worst," as I got on the bus, but our tour guide, Wan, brightened my mood! He was very friendly and kind, and his talks were enjoyable. He always had a smile on his face and worked hard for us without showing any displeasure. Thanks to him, it turned out to be the best tour.

He mentioned that he loves the phrase "ichigo ichie," but I couldn't help but say, "Let's meet again!" The tour itself was a fun experience, but I was very satisfied thanks to Wan. Thank you very much!

7/19日のツアーでしたが朝から曇天で、天気予報では雨。「最悪」と思いながらバスに乗りましたが、そんな気分を晴れにしてくれたのが添乗員のワンさん！　とても気さくで優しくて、トークも楽しかったです。嫌な顔もせずいつも笑顔で、私たちのために一生懸命動いて下さいました。おかげで最高のツアーとなりました。
「一期一会」が大好きな言葉とおっしゃいましたが、私は思わず「また会いましょう！」と言ってしまいました。
ツアー自体も楽しい企画でしたが、ワンさんのおかげで大満足です。本当にありがとうございました。

It's wonderful to visit the highlights around Sapporo with a perfect schedule, including a stop at a hot spring, and to wrap up by 6 PM as planned!

完璧なタイムスケジュールで札幌近郊の見どころスポットを周り、温泉にも入れて予定通り18時に解散とは素晴らしい！

The participants were about 80 people on two buses, with three-quarters being foreign tourists (mostly Chinese). Therefore, half of the guide's speech was in Chinese. The guide was from China and had no issues with Japanese; they were a very pleasant person.

The tour packed in famous sightseeing spots that can be visited in a day from and back to Sapporo, making it a tight schedule for the value. While there was no need to rush, I felt at various locations that "it would be nice to have a little more time." For example, at Lake Toya, it was too crowded to have lunch at a popular restaurant, so I ended up with a convenience store bento (the Seikomart HotChef bento was quite delicious, which was a nice discovery). At Showa Shinzan, there wasn't quite enough time to ride the Usuzan Ropeway, regardless of whether we went to the bear ranch or not.

Based on my past experience of leisurely enjoying the visitor center after taking a sightseeing boat at Lake Shikotsu, I think this tour is recommended for those who want to "see a lot of different places" or "would like to revisit the good spots."

参加者はバス2台約80人で、3/4が外国人観光客（ほとんどが中国人）でした。なのでガイドさんの喋りの半分は中国語でした。ガイドさんは中国出身で、もちろん日本語に問題はなく、大変いい感じの方でした。
札幌出発・帰着で1日で回れる有名観光地を、これ以上ないというところまで詰め込んでいるので、おトクな分タイトなコースです。急いで歩かねばならないようなことはありませんでしたが、各所で「もうちょっと時間があればいいのにね～」と感じました。例えば、洞爺湖畔では、人気店でお昼するには混雑していて出発時刻に間に合わないので結局コンビニ弁当に（セイコマのHotChef弁当は結構美味しく、新しい発見がありましたけど）。昭和新山では（クマ牧場に行こうが行くまいが）有珠山ロープウェーに乗るにはちょっと時間足らず。
過去に支笏湖で観光船に乗ってビジターセンターでゆっくり楽めた経験からすると、「とにかく色々回りたい」あるいは「よかったところはリピートあり」という方にはお勧めだと思います。

I was captivated by the magnificent scenery. There are some areas that are a bit difficult to walk through, but it's definitely a place you should visit.

雄大な景色に見とれてしまいました。
途中、すこし歩きにくいところがありますが、ぜひ訪れてほしい場所です。

I was scheduled to return on a night flight, so a half-day bus tour was very helpful. If it had been a bus tour in the evening, I wouldn't have made it to the airport, and having a whole day of free time would have left me unsure of what to do. The half-day bus tour was great. I was able to visit the Shiroi Koibito Park, which I really wanted to go to, and I was satisfied.

夜の飛行機で帰る予定だったので
半日のバスツアーは有難い
夕方帰るバスツアーだと空港に間に合わないしかと言って一日フリータイムだと
何をして良いか困ってたので
半日バスツアーは良かった
ちょうど行きたかった白い恋人パークに行けて満足です

I had already visited all the tourist spots except for Shiroi Koibito Park, but I had a great time at each one. The guide and the driver were friendly and had a pleasant demeanor. In addition to the audio guidance, they provided thorough explanations with a sense of humor, making for an enjoyable experience. Thank you very much.

白い恋人パーク以外は過去に全部観光済みだったけど、どこもすごく楽しかったです。
ガイドさんもドライバーさんも気さくな方で感じがよかったです。
音声ガイダンスとは別にしっかり説明もしてくれてユーモアもあり楽しい時間を過ごすことができめした。
ありがとうございました。

The guide was kind and took photos for us, and provided individual explanations, which was very helpful. When I asked about a place to eat on the way back, they also gave me recommendations.

ガイドの方が親切で写真を撮ってくれたり
説明も個別に対応してくれて助かりました
帰りに夜食べに行くお店を聞いたら
オススメも教えてくれました

The Okurayama Jump Stadium was impressive.
Shiroi Koibito Park was a fun place that felt like a small Huis Ten Bosch.

大倉山ジャンプ競技場は、感動しました。
白い恋人パークは、楽しめる所で小さなハウステンボス見たいでした。

I was glad to be taken to many places. The Hokkaido Jingu's Hangan from Rokkatei was delicious! It seems to be a limited edition available only here. It was my first time visiting the Great Buddha in Nara, and I was amazed by its scale. I opted for the foot bath at Jozankei Onsen, so I ended up with some extra time. It might be just right for those who want to enjoy a day trip to the onsen. The onsen town didn't have much to offer, so there wasn't much to do besides the foot bath and making boiled eggs, but after the foot bath, my tired and heavy legs felt light. The guide was young but had a gentle demeanor and was a pleasant young man. Most of the participants were foreigners, with only three Japanese, but the guide spoke Japanese, English, and Chinese, so there were no inconveniences. When I was in trouble, he would check on me, and his thoughtful consideration was wonderful. Lastly, I was happy to receive a note with recommendations for shops and souvenirs in Sapporo. I would like to visit them next time I come to Sapporo.

たくさんの場所に連れて行ってもらえて
良かった。
北海道神宮にある六花亭の判官さまは
美味しかった！ここだけの限定らしいです。
頭大仏は初めて来ましたが、スケールの大きさにびっくりしました。
定山渓温泉は足湯にしたので、時間が余ってしまった。日帰り温泉に入る人にはちょうどいいかもしれない。
温泉街も特に何もないので、足湯してゆで卵作るくらいしかやる事がなかったが
足湯をしたら、疲れて重かった足が軽くなった。
ガイドさんは若い方でしたが、物腰が柔らかで
感じの良い好青年でした。
参加者のほとんどが外国人で日本人は3人でしたがガイドさんは日本語、英語、中国語を話してくださるので不便はなかったです。
困っていると、声を掛けてくれたり
細やかな気遣いも素晴らしかったです。
最後に、札幌のおすすめのお店やお土産の
書かれたメモを共有してくださって
嬉しかったです。
次回、札幌に来たら行ってみたいと思います。

It was my first bus tour, and thanks to the guide, I was able to hear many interesting stories, which made it very enjoyable! I appreciated the recommendations for souvenirs and meals, as well as learning about various things in Hokkaido. I definitely want to use this service again!

初めてのバスツアーでしたが、ガイドさんのおかげでいろんなお話が聞けてとても楽しかったです♪
おすすめのお土産や食事、北海道のいろんなことが聞けてとても良かったです。
ぜひまた利用させてもらいたいなと思いました！

The weather was bad and there was fog, so it was disappointing. Next time, I think I'll check the weather forecast and plan my schedule accordingly.

天気が悪かったし霧も掛かってたので、残念でした。次回は天気予報を見てスケジュールを立てようと思います。

It was a day blessed with good weather, allowing us to fully enjoy the great nature of Hokkaido. At the Usuzan Ropeway, we had plenty of time to explore the summit and visit the bear ranch. Thanks to the efficient guide and the friendly driver, we had a wonderful time.

天気に恵まれて北海道の大自然を満喫できた1日でした。有珠山のロープウェイでは山頂を散策してからクマ牧場を観る時間もたっぷりとありました。テキパキとしたガイドさんと感じのいい運転手さんのおかげで楽しい時間を過ごせました。

The weather was great, and I had a lot of fun. It was efficient without lunch. I was able to have a light snack at Farm Tomita. The guide was friendly and pleasant as well.

お天気にも恵まれ、楽しかったです。昼食なしで効率的でした。ファーム富田で軽食できました。ガイドさんも気さくで感じが良かったです。

The tour guide's clear explanations and the driver's safe driving made for a wonderful trip. Thank you very much.

添乗員のわかりやすい説明、並び運転手の運転も安心できて最高の旅になりました。
ありがとうございました。

I wanted to take my time at Asahiyama Zoo, and this product made that possible.

The guide from Chuo Bus was very knowledgeable, and the content was excellent. The driver also prioritized safety, which made me feel secure.

Having only three participants on a large bus felt quite luxurious, but one of the participants disrupted the atmosphere, which was unfortunate for the guide and a bit disappointing. There's nothing we can do about that, but I enjoyed my first visit to Asahiyama Zoo despite the heat.

However, entering from the East Gate and gathering at the West Gate allows for a downhill viewing experience (climbing back up is tough), which I believe is due to parking arrangements.

旭山動物園をじっくり行きたかったので
この商品は叶ってました。

中央バスのガイドさんが大変勉強しており
内容も素晴らしかった。
またドライバーさんも安全第一で

It was a one-day tour without meals, but overall I was very satisfied. First of all, there were very few foreign tourists, mostly Japanese. The bus driver was very safe and the ride was comfortable, with a pleasant driver. The highlight was Shikisai no Oka; the flowers were beautiful and I was moved. I wished we had a bit more time there. I was surprised to see that Farm Tomita had far more tourists than when I visited about 30 years ago. The day went almost according to schedule, and I had a fun day. There were other tours that were a bit cheaper, but I was glad I chose this one.

食事なし１日ツアーでしたが全体的には大変満足でした。まず外国人客が少なくほぼ日本人でした。バスの運転手さんも安全運転でとても乗り心地良く感じの良いドライバーさんでした。一番良かったのは四季彩の丘ですお花が綺麗で感動した。滞在時間がもう少し欲しかった。ファーム富田は３０年位前に行った頃よりはるかに観光客がいてびっくりした。ほぼスケジュールどうりで楽しい１日を過ごせました。他にもう少し安いツアーもありましたがこちらにして正解でした

It was a truly wonderful experience throughout the day! Our guide, Mr. Onodera, provided detailed explanations in both Japanese and Chinese, allowing all participants to feel comfortable and enjoy themselves. (About two-thirds of the participants were from Taiwan and China, while the rest were Japanese.) Not only did he introduce the tourist spots, but he also provided detailed information about local cuisine and souvenirs, which was very helpful. Additionally, I was really pleased with the thoughtful attention he showed by taking group photos every time we got off the bus. This was the best experience I've ever had! Thank you so much, Mr. Onodera!

一日を通してとても素晴らしい体験でした！
ガイドの小野寺さんは、日本語と中国語を交互に使いながら丁寧に説明してくださり、参加者全員が安心して楽しめました。（参加者は約3分の2が台湾・中国の方、残りは日本人でした）
観光スポットだけでなく、周辺のグルメやお土産情報まで細かく紹介してくれてとても参考になりました。
さらに、降車のたびにグループごとに写真を撮ってくださるなど、細やかな気配りが本当に嬉しかったです。
今までで一番の体験でした！
小野寺さん、本当にありがとうございました！

The lavender I was looking forward to was in full bloom, and I was very satisfied. I was able to enjoy the snacks I purchased while on the move, which allowed me to spend more time exploring. It was a hot day with temperatures exceeding 30 degrees, but the air-conditioned bus made it easy to efficiently visit the tourist spots, which was a relief physically. I was anxious about participating alone for the first time, but the seats were assigned in advance, which made me feel at ease. It would have been even better if we had an additional 15 minutes at Farm Tomita. I appreciate that both the driver and the guide greeted us with smiles throughout the day, making it a pleasant experience.

目当てのラベンダーが満開で大満足
軽食など購入したものも移動中の、車内で食べたりできるので散策に時間を使うことができました
晴れて気温30度を超える暑い日でしたが、冷房の効いたバスで効率よく観光地を回ってくれるので体力的にも助かりました
初めての1人参加で不安でしたが、座席も予め割り振られていて安心
ファーム富田があと15分滞在時間が長いとさらに良かったです
運転手さんも、ガイドさんも常に笑顔で挨拶をしてくれて気持ちよい1日を過ごせて感謝してます

The Blue Pond was a lighter color than I expected, but the weather was nice and it was very beautiful. I've been to Farm Tomita several times, and during this season, the scent of lavender is truly soothing. The purple colors also vary by type, so it's visually pleasing and enjoyable as well. Additionally, the croquettes available at Shiki no Sato were delicious.

青い池は思っていたより薄い色でしたが、天気が良くとても綺麗でした。
ファーム富田は何度か行ったことがありますが、やはりこの時期はラベンダーの香りに癒されます。紫の色も種類によって違うので視覚的にも癒され、楽しめます。
あと、四季の里で頂けるコロッケが美味しかったです。

I thought it was cheap, and the course was enjoyable with good food. Next time, I hope there will be an entry to Escon Field. I think it's a great course for those who don't have much time.

まぁ安いしねーと思いましたが、楽しめるコースで食事も良かったですね。次はエスコンフィールド入りがあったらいいかなって思いました。時間ないかたはいいコースと思います。

The weather was nice, and the blue of the sky and sea was very beautiful.

The glass-bottom boat in the United States was also interesting, with many seagulls coming close.

It was quite a ride.

お天気が良くて空と海の青がとても綺麗でした。

美国のグラスボートも、カモメが、たくさん寄って来て面白かったです。

結構、乗りごたえがありました。

The guide was very kind. Driving on the mountain roads was a bit scary, but I had a lot of fun experiencing various things in different places.

ガイドの方がとても優しかった。山道の運転は少し怖かったですが、色々な場所で色々な体験ができて、すごく楽しかったです。

Since it was a tour, the time allocation was strictly managed, and we were able to visit a number of spots that would be difficult to cover on our own. Some people might feel that the free time was short, but for me, it was just right.

ツアーなので時間配分が厳重にしてあり、フリーで行ったら回りきれないくらいのスポットに行けました。自由時間は短いと感じる人もいるかもしれませんが、私的には丁度良かったです。
