All Reviews for Bus Tours

Aside from the Okurayama Jump Stadium, it was cloudy, but it was nice that it wasn't hot.

Shiroi Koibito Park was great. The food stalls in the market were quite crowded, which was a bit of a struggle.

大倉山ジャンプ台以外は、曇りでした、　熱くなくて良かったです。

白い恋人パークは、良かったです。　市場の食事屋さんが結構

いっぱいで、　苦労しました。

Last week, I became a complete fan of the sightseeing tour by Hokkaido Chuo Bus on the Shakotan tour, and I ended up signing up for two consecutive weeks! The last time on Shakotan, we had a live guide, but this time we could listen to a guide in four languages through earphones. I thought this might be enjoyable for everyone on the bus, but the guide this time also had a calm and lovely voice, so I wished I could have experienced the live guide again.

As for the content, we visited all the must-see spots in the Furano area, and the lunch was delicious and just right. I felt happy in a world filled with colors and sky. At Shikisai no Oka, we had to line up to buy tickets for the tractor tour, and I thought it was wonderful to see the guide working hard to assist with that. It would have been even better if they had collected preferences on the bus, but I understand that there were some who didn’t want to participate.

Overall, it was a fantastic and very satisfying experience. I wish there were more various tours available. I was with children, and the staff kindly suggested that we could move to the back since there were empty seats. Both the driver and the guide were always cheerful and engaging, which was the best!

先週積丹ツアーで北海道中央バスさんの観光ツアーのすっかりファンになりまして、二週連続で申し込んでしまいました！
前回の積丹はガイドさんの生ガイドだったのですが、今回はイヤホンで4カ国語でのガイドが聞けます。これはこれでバスの皆さんが楽しめていいのかなと思いましたが、今回のガイドさんも穏やかでとても素敵な声の方だったので生ガイドも聴いてみたかったです。
内容としては富良野方面のおさえるべきところ全て回ってくれて、お昼も美味しくてちょうど良くて、彩りと空のある世界って幸せだなと感じます。
四季彩の丘はトラクターツアーのチケットを買うために並ぶのですが、ガイドさんがその点も一生懸命フォローされている様子がわかって素敵だなと思いました。あれをまとめてバスの中で希望をとってくださったりしてくれたらより素晴らしいですが、乗らない方も確かにいらしたので仕方ないのかもしれません。
総じてすばらしく大満足の経験です。もっといろいろなツアーがあればいいのにと思います。
子連れだったのですが、席が空いてるからもしよかったら1番後ろへどうぞと気遣って下さったり、運転手さんもガイドさんも常ににこやかにお声がけくださり最高でした！

It's been about 7 years, right? I signed up for this tour that allows you to go to places that are far away on your own in Hawaii.

First, the good things:
The guide was great. The explanations in English, Chinese, and Japanese were easy to understand. There were participants from various countries, and the atmosphere was nice.
It was also good that seating was assigned. Since my elderly parents were with me, it helped us not to rush.
They took photos at the Shakotan Peninsula, and even though I was the only one at the aquarium, they came to pick me up and explained the sightseeing in Otaru.
The time management was good.

One slightly disappointing thing was that the meeting place was hard to find, which made me a bit anxious.
Renting a car in Hokkaido is more tiring than I expected, so I would like to use day tours again since there are plenty of them.
Thank you very much.

7年ぶりかな？ハワイで利用し、自分自身で行くには遠い所へ行けるこのツアーに申し込みました。
まず良かった事。
ガイドさんがよかった。英語、中国語、日本語での案内、わかりやすかったです。様々な国の方が参加されていて、雰囲気が良かった。
座る場所も指定されていたのも良かった。
高齢の親も一緒だったので慌てずにすみました。
積丹半島で写真を撮ってくれたり、水族館は１人のみでしたが、1人の為に迎えに来てくれ、小樽の観光も説明してくれました。
時間配分も良かった。
ちょっと残念な事は集合場所がわかりにくい。ちょっと焦りました。
北海道でレンタカーは思ったより疲れるので日帰りツアーが豊富なのでまた利用したいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

Due to the heavy rain in the morning, my arrival in Sapporo was delayed, and since time was limited, it was great to be able to visit the main attractions compactly on this tour. Okurayama Jump Stadium and Moerenuma Park can be quite challenging to reach on your own, so this bus tour was definitely the right choice. The rain cleared up, and we were able to see beautiful scenery. There are two bus stops at the north exit of Sapporo Station, which could have been confusing, but there was a tourist bus information center nearby that helped me, so there were no issues at all.

朝の大雨で札幌到着が遅れて、時間が限られたので、このツアーで主な見どころをコンパクトに巡れてとても良かったです。大倉山ジャンプ場と羊ヶ丘は自分でいくと結構大変なので、このバスツアーは大正解でした。雨が上がって綺麗な景色がよく見えました。集合場所の札幌駅の北口のバス停は2つあり、戸惑う可能性がありましたが、すぐ近くに観光バスの案内所があって教えてもらったので、全く問題ありませんでした。

The guide's explanations made for a fun time, and everything about the course was great! I thought the time might be short, but once we got off the bus, it turned out to be just the right amount of time. I highly recommend it!

ガイドさんの説明で楽しい時間で、コースもすべてよかったです!!時間が短いかなと思ったところもバスから降りてみると、ちょうどいい時間でした。おすすめです!

The tour guide was very meticulous in their work. This was my second time visiting Lake Toya, and I really liked the scenery in Noboribetsu. It was my first time at Hell Valley, and it felt very special. The guide took some memorable photos for us there. It was a very enjoyable trip.

導遊對工作做得非常的細緻這次是第二次去洞爺湖，登別非常喜歡那裡的景色，地獄谷是第一次去感到非常的特別。導遊在那幫我們照了非常值得紀念的寫真。這是一次非常開心的的旅遊。

I considered renting a car, but driving for several hours through the vast Hokkaido seemed tough for my aging body, so I joined this tour. The two-hour journey from Sapporo felt long, but the lakes and flower fields I wanted to see were incredibly beautiful and moving! I was a bit worried about the tour being mainly in Chinese and English, but the guide was friendly and spoke to us in Japanese as well, providing announcements in Japanese too, so there were no issues. I was disappointed that I couldn't find where to enjoy all-you-can-eat melons, but overall, I was very satisfied and would like to use this service again.

レンタカーで回る事も考えましたが、広い北海道を数時間運転するのは老体には厳しいなと思い、このツアーに参加しました。
札幌から2時間の道のりは長くもありましたが、行きたかった湖も花畑も凄く綺麗で感動しました‼︎
ツアー言語が中国語英語メインとあり、そこが一番不安なところでしたが、ガイドさんは気さくな方で日本語で喋りかけて下さったり、アナウンスも日本語もして下さったので、問題ありませんでした。
メロン食べ放題がどこで出来るのかわからずありつけなかったのが残念でしたが、総合的に大変満足してるのでまた利用したいです。

The "Shakotan Peninsula Day Trip Bus Tour" departing from Sapporo offers a highly satisfying experience filled with natural beauty and gourmet delights. In particular, the views at Cape Kamui and Shimamu Coast are breathtakingly beautiful. The clear sea and majestic cape provide perfect opportunities for photography.

The seafood bowl lunch at "Hama Sushi," which we visit during the tour, is fresh and generous in portion, and although it's an additional menu item, you can enjoy sea urchin.

Overall, the guide's explanations were thorough and easy to understand, allowing us to learn in detail about the history and background of the tourist spots. This tour is highly recommended for a fulfilling day that feels anything but a simple day trip, allowing for a relaxing experience.

札幌発の「積丹半島 日帰りバスツアー」は、自然美とグルメを楽しめる満足度の高い体験です。特に、積丹神威岬や島武意海岸の景観は、息をのむほどの美しさです。澄んだ海と雄大な岬が広がり、写真撮影にも最適です。

ツアーの途中で訪れる「浜寿し」での海鮮丼ランチも新鮮でボリュームがあり、追加メニューではありますが雲丹を味わえます。

全体的に、ガイドさんの案内が丁寧で分かりやすく、観光スポットの歴史や背景についても詳しく知ることができました。日帰りとは思えない充実した内容で、リラックスした一日を過ごせるおすすめのツアーです。

I participated alone, but first of all, the meeting place was very hard to find. The map indicated a location outside the station, and it mentioned being adjacent to the taxi stand, so I didn't think it was inside the station. When I asked the taxi driver, he said he didn't know. The contact number for the day was only available from 9 AM, so I thought I wouldn't be able to reach anyone, which made me anxious about what to do in case of an emergency. It would be clearer if it stated that Mister Donut is inside the station.

The initial start was terrible, but the subsequent itinerary included all the spots I wanted to see, and it was just right—not too tight. Since I was traveling alone and didn't have a car, I had given up on Biei, but I thought it was easier to get around efficiently than renting a car. I also enjoyed having lunch with another solo traveler and had a nice conversation. The guide was kind and friendly.

1人で参加しましたが、まず集合場所がとてもわかりずらかったです。マップでの位置を示すが駅の外になっていたりタクシー乗り場隣接と書いてたので駅構内だとは思わずタクシー運転手に聞いても分からないと言われました。当日の連絡先も電話番号は9時からと書いていたので繋がらないと思い、緊急時どうしたら良いか不安でした。ミスタードーナツは駅構内と書いてるほうが分かりやすいです。

最初の出だしが最悪でしたが、その後の工程は見たかったスポットが全て入っていて、タイト過ぎずちょうど良かったです。
1人旅だったので、車がないので美瑛は諦めていましたが、効率よくまわってくれるのでレンタカーを借りるより楽だなと思いました。昼食も他の1人のかたと同席で楽しく話して過ごせました。ガイドさんも親切で優しかったです。

The Okurayama Jump Stadium was amazing and felt great. I was moved thinking about jumping from such a place. I recommended it to everyone when I got home.

大倉山ジャンプ競技場すごく気持ちよかったです。あんな所からジャンプするんだなーと思い感動です。
家に帰って来て皆んなに進めました

The content of the tour and the guide's explanations were very good. The food was delicious!

However, the width of the bus seats is narrow. It looks like a large bus, but my shoulders spill over and bump into the person next to me. It's tough when sharing with strangers, even if it's okay with family or friends. Since it's a long time, I would prefer no shared seating.

There is a waiting area after check-in, but it was dirty. Empty cans and plastic bottles were scattered around, and the drainage was poor, causing rainwater to pool in places. The flower beds were not taken care of, creating a gloomy atmosphere. Additionally, there was someone lying down who seemed to have spent the night drinking, which made me feel uncomfortable. I think waiting at the bus stop would be more pleasant than waiting there.

ツアーの内容やガイドさんの説明はとっても良かったです。食事も美味しかった！

バスの座席の幅が狭いです。
大きなバスに見えるのに…。肩幅がはみ出して隣の人と当たります。家族や友人ならまだしも、相席ではキツイ。長時間ですので相席は無しにしてほしい。

受付を済ませてから待つ場所があるのですが、汚い。空き缶やペットボトルが散乱しており、排水が悪く雨水が所々溜まっていました。
花壇の世話も出来ておらず陰気な雰囲気。　
さらに、お酒を飲んで朝を迎えたらしき人が寝転んでおり、いやーな気持ちになりました。
あそこで待つより、バス停で待つ方が気持ちが良いと思います。

I participated in the tour on August 11. Out of about 40 people, there were only three Japanese groups, and the guide was from China. I understood most of the information provided in English and Chinese, and the smartphone translation feature also helped with announcements in Japanese, so there were no issues with the destinations or departure times. However, I would have liked to have been informed in advance that it would be a tour with many foreigners. Additionally, the guide only covered the bare minimum, and especially at Showa Shinzan, the focus was mostly on the bear ranch, neglecting important details about Showa Shinzan itself and the visible Usu Mountain, which was disappointing.

8/11のツアーに参加しました。総勢40名くらいのうち、日本人は3組のみで、ガイドさんも中国の方…英語と中国語での案内でだいたいのことはわかりましたし、スマホの翻訳機能でも日本語で案内していただいたので、目的地や出発時間などは問題ありませんでした。しかし、このように外国人の多いツアーなら事前に教えていただきたかったです。それにガイドさんの案内も最低限のことだけで、とくに昭和新山ではクマ牧場のことばかりで、肝心の昭和新山や見えてる有珠山のことには触れなかったり、残念でした。

I had high expectations, but most of the tour participants were Chinese, and the tour guide was also Chinese. The guide hardly spoke any Japanese. The explanations were mainly in Chinese, with just a little bit of English. I felt I made a mistake in choosing this tour. Listening to the rapid-fire Chinese talk, I couldn't understand what was being said, and it was very stressful.

If it had been clearly stated in the tour information, I wouldn't have signed up. At the meeting point at the TV Tower, I felt very lonely surrounded by so many Chinese participants. I really wanted to join a tour with Japanese participants, so I think it would be helpful to clearly indicate whether the tour is for Japanese or Chinese participants in advance. It was my first time being in a group of Chinese people, and I was very surprised and nervous, which made it hard to enjoy the experience. If measures are not taken in the future, I will hesitate to sign up again. Please consider this.

とても期待していたのですが、ツアーの参加者がほとんど中国人。ツアー添乗員も中国人。日本語はほとんど話せない添乗員でした。中国語での説明が主で他に少しの英語。ツアーの選定ミスをしたと思いました。とにかく中国語でまくしたてる様なトークで聞いていて何を喋っているのか分からず、とても緊張しました。
ツアーの案内に書かれていたら申し込みはしなかったはずです。テレビ塔の集合の時点で中国人だらけでとても心細かった。
やはり、日本人が参加するツアーに入りたかったので、事前に分かるように日本人むけ、中国人向けとか明記してほしいと思います。中国人の中に入ってしまったのは初めてだったのでとても驚いて緊張しながらだったので楽しめませんでした。今後は対策を取って頂かないと申し込みする事をためらいます。ご検討ください。

It was a short tour, but the bus facilities were very clean, and in addition to the guide's explanations, there was also commentary through headphones, making it very easy to understand. It was a tour full of content.

短時間のツアーでしたが、バスの設備がとても綺麗で、ｶﾞｲﾄﾞさんの解説に加えイヤホンでの解説も有り、とても良く判り、内容の詰まったツアーでした。

The guide was terrible in terms of manners. They didn't properly check the number of people, abandoned the customers, and after saying they would compensate for their mistake, they stopped communicating.

ガイドさん、マナー最悪。 人数チェックをちゃんとしないで顧客を捨てて行って自分が悪かったと賠償してくれると言っておきながら連絡がなくなった。

The weather wasn't very good, but we were able to go to Cape Kamoi Lighthouse. There were some tough spots along the way, but the scenery was beautiful! The guide spoke three languages, which was impressive, but it was a bit disappointing that there were fewer explanations in Japanese. Also, our stay in Otaru was shorter than planned, so I wished we could have done a bit more sightseeing.

天気があまり良くはありませんでしたが、神威灯台まで行くことができました。道中きついところもありましたが、景色はよかったです！
ガイドさんは３カ国語話されており、とてもすごかったですが、若干日本語の説明が少なく、残念なところもありました。あと、予定よりも小樽での滞在時間が短かったので、もう少し観光できたらと思いました。

When traveling alone, my biggest concern is having to share a table with someone. I expected it to be someone of the same gender, but it turned out to be a man who was quite large, and it felt like our legs were almost touching, which was intimidating and made me feel tense the whole time. The seafood bowl was just average.

一人旅で1番、心配なのは相席になる事も仕方ないけど、同性の人だろうと思っていたら、男の方で、身体も大きくて、足もくっつきそうな感じで威圧感もあり、ずっと緊張してしまいました。海鮮丼は、普通でした。

It rained, but the guidance from our guide was incredibly helpful. I would like to thank Lisa (Yang) for her assistance. Also, it was enjoyable to see bears, visit Hell Valley, and take in the scenery of Lake Toya. If possible, I would definitely like to travel again in the winter.

雨が降りましたが、ガイドさんの案内いただき、すごく助かりました。ガイドのLisa（楊さん）に感謝致します。また、熊を見たり、地獄谷を行ったり、洞爺湖の風景を見ますことが楽しいでした。都合が良ければ、ぜひ冬の時に二度と旅行に行きます。

The blue pond was very beautiful. At Tomita Farm, it was a bit disappointing that there was only a little lavender left since the harvest had already finished. However, the lavender soft serve was delicious. Ningle Terrace, with its lodges scattered throughout the forest, was lovely, but it was a bit unfortunate that some of the lodge shops were closed depending on the timing of the visit (those shops were the most interesting). Shirahige Falls looked beautiful because the weather was nice. The tour guide was kind, and the plan allowed us to choose our own lunch, which suited my needs. I would like to use this service again if I have the opportunity.

青い池がとても綺麗でした。富田ファームは、ラベンダーの刈り入れが終わった後だったので、少ししか無かったのがちょっと残念でした。でもラベンダーソフトは美味しかったです。ニングルテラスは、森の中にロッジが点在する様子は素敵でしたが、訪れたタイミングによって、ロッジの店が閉まっていたり(そういう店ほど興味深い)するので、少し残念でした。白髭の滝は天気が良かったので、綺麗に見えました。添乗員さんも親切で、ランチも各自、自由に取るプランだったので、私のニーズに合っていました。機会があればまた利用したいです。

Since it was a long holiday, they changed the order of our itinerary to consider the traffic. They took us to Aoiike first, so we were able to stick to our schedule time-wise, which was great.

連休だったので、渋滞を考慮してまわる順番を変えてくれました。青池を先にしてくれたので、時間的にも予定どおりまわれて良かったです。

The Shakotan Blue was truly a beautiful shade of blue. It was quite challenging to reach the tip due to the difficult footing (my companion with a fear of heights gave up), but it was worth it for the sense of satisfaction. Exploring Otaru was nice, but it was unfortunate that we had a late lunch and arrived at the Shiroi Koibito Park after the visiting hours had ended. It was also great that there were only a few participants in the tour, allowing for more flexibility.

積丹ブルーは、本当にきれいな青かった
先端まで行くのは結構足元も悪く大変でしたが(高所恐怖症の同伴者は断念しましたが)その分満足感がありました。
小樽散策はよかったのですが、お昼ごはんが遅くなってしまったのと、せっかく立ちよった白い恋人パークは、見学時間が過ぎた時間に到着したのが残念でした
コース参加者が少人数で小回りがきいたのもよかったです。

I participated with my two sons, who are a middle schooler and a high schooler. I was glad that we could explore areas that are difficult to access without a car in just one day. We didn't have enough time at Lake Shikotsu and the Mushroom Kingdom where we had a free lunch, while we felt we had too much time at Lake Toya, so I think it would be better to reconsider the time allocation. Even though it was during the Obon holiday, there were no traffic jams, and it ended on time, which was great. If I have the opportunity, I would like to participate in another course as well.

中学生と高校生の息子二人と参加しました。
車がない個人ではなかなか回れないエリアを一日で回れてよかったです。
支笏湖と自由昼食を取ったきのこ王国では時間が足りず、一方で洞爺湖では時間を持て余す感じだったので時間配分を見直すとなおよいと思います。
お盆の時期でしたが、渋滞などもなく、定刻通りに終了したのもよかったです。機会があれば、また別のコースにも参加してみたいです。

The food was not good.
Perhaps because there are many foreign guests, the announcements were just loud.
It was noisy inside the vehicle.
The meals should be reconsidered.

ご飯美味しくなかった
海外客が多いからか案内もただうるさい
車内もうるさかった
食事は考えるべき

The itinerary was reasonable and well-structured, but due to the presence of many international participants, there were language issues. I would have appreciated more sightseeing information and explanations. I wasn't aware that international participants would be joining when I made the reservation, so I would like that information to be included on the booking site. There was no issue with the guide themselves, but I would have liked a note indicating whether it was "Japanese only" or "open to international participants."

リーズナブルで行程内容は良かったのですが、
海外の方が多く言葉の問題があるためか、
もっと観光案内、説明等がほしかったです。
海外の方も参加する旨が、予約する際に分からなかったので、予約サイトに記載していただきたいです。
ガイドさん自体に問題はないので、「日本人のみ」、「海外の方も参加」のように、
その旨の記載があってほしかったです。

I started living in Sapporo in April, and when I asked the locals where to go right now, I received multiple responses suggesting Shakotan, so I thought I definitely have to go! However, since I was a paper driver, I was wondering how to get there, but it turns out there’s a tour that takes you directly from the station!

I participated with my child, not knowing what to expect, but both the driver and the guide were very friendly and wonderful. The guide's stories were fascinating, and I really enjoyed it! I was impressed by how much they remembered and their extensive experience. They took us around smoothly, and the timing was excellent, making it a fantastic tour.

Shakotan was unexpectedly adventurous, which was a delightful surprise. I recommend going with minimal luggage and wearing proper shoes. I was so satisfied that I felt like I wanted to conquer all the tours offered by Hokkaido Bus!

4月から札幌に住み始め、道民の方に今行くならどこ？と聞いてみると積丹との回答を複数からもらいましたので、これはいくっきゃない！と。でもペーパードライバーだったのでどう行くかなと思っていたらなんとピッタリ駅前から連れて行ってくれるツアーがあるじゃないですか！！
どんなものかわからず子連れで参加しましたが、運転手さんもガイドさんもとても対応が柔らかくて素敵です。
ガイドさんのお話も興味深くかなり楽しめました！ほぼ記憶されていて経験値がすごいなと感服です。
小気味よくあちこち連れて行ってくれます。時間の目安もなるほど抜群で素晴らしいツアーでした。
積丹はまさかのアドベンチャーで、嬉しい想定外でした。荷物は少なく、きちんとした靴で行くことをお勧めします。
北海道バスさんのツアー全部制覇したい気持ちになるくらい満足しました！

I often use VELTRA when traveling. It's recommended because you can easily enjoy day trips for sightseeing. This time, I went to the Shakotan Peninsula to enjoy the breathtaking nature. First, I brought the printed voucher to the counter for processing, but I think it might be better to switch to e-vouchers soon. They check the printed paper and give you a boarding ticket, but that paper is returned immediately after checking, so I think displaying it on my phone would be sufficient. Also, as mentioned in the notes, they can hold large luggage, so it's best to go directly without worrying about it. I unnecessarily stored mine in a coin locker. The Chuo Bus has power outlets at each seat, so you can easily charge your smartphone. This time, the bus was almost full, with about eight foreign passengers. The guide was a Japanese person who was a bit shy with foreign languages but was very skilled at explaining, making the bus ride comfortable.

At Cape Shakotan, the weather was good, and we could see the wonderful scenery of the steep cliffs. After that, we had a seafood bowl at Hamazushi, which was also exquisite. It seemed there was fishing that day, so we could enjoy the local specialty of fresh sea urchin, but it was a bit pricey due to market prices. (A small plate costs 1500 yen extra.) It looked incredibly delicious.

After lunch, we headed to Cape Kamui. This is the cape at the tip of the Shakotan Peninsula. We walked to the tip, clinging to the steep cliffs. It takes nearly 20 minutes one way on a narrow path, but the view at the end is exceptional. It was an unusually hot day for Hokkaido, and I was sweating, but there was a strong, pleasant wind blowing. The wind made a whistling sound. You need to be careful not to let your hat fly away or drop your camera or phone. This is the destination of the trip, where you can enjoy the view from a high point. The cobalt blue sea is very beautiful, and you can take many wonderful photos.

After that, we enjoyed the underwater scenery from the Shakotan Underwater Observatory Boat. This is optional, but almost everyone boarded and enjoyed it. Along the way, you can see underwater from the bottom of the boat, where you can spot small fish and sea urchins. You can enjoy the scenery from the boat, and I think the front and left sides have the best views. On the way back, you can feed the seagulls. Each person receives a small bucket of food, making it a fun experience. A huge number of seagulls come flying in, creating an impressive sight.

Finally, we stopped by Tanaka Sake Brewery for a factory tour and tasting. Some people got off here to go sightseeing in Otaru. On the way back, we were dropped off at various locations, making it a very enjoyable day trip. It was great to be guided by bus to places that are hard to visit alone. Although it can be affected by the weather, I think if it's sunny, you can fully enjoy nature.

旅行の際に、このVELTRAをよく利用しています。気軽に日帰りで観光が楽しめるので、お勧めです。
今回は絶景の自然を楽しめる積丹半島へ行きました。はじめに印刷したバウチャーを持って窓口で手続きをするのですが、こちらはそろそろｅバウチャーに変えたほうがいいかなと思いました。紙で印刷したものを確認して乗車券をいただくのですが、その紙も確認をしたらすぐ戻されるので、携帯表示で充分かなと思います。また備考にも書いてありますが、大きな荷物を預かってくれるので、そのまま行くといいと思います。私はわざわざコインロッカーに預けてしまった。中央バスは、一人ひとりの座席にコンセントがあるので、スマートフォンの電源が気軽に取れます。今回バスはほぼ満席で、外国の方が8人程度乗っていました。ガイドさんは、日本の方で外国語がちょっと苦手のベテランの方でした。とても説明が上手で、バスの中も快適に過ごすことができました。
積丹岬のしまむい海岸は、天候も良く、断崖絶壁の素晴らしい景色が見られました。その後、はま寿司で海鮮丼を食べますか、これもまた絶品のうまさ。その日は漁があったようで地元名産の生ウニも食べることができますが、時価ともあり若干高めです。〈ちっちゃな小皿で1500円別料金。〉凄く美味しそうでした。
昼食後、神威岬に向かいました。ここは積丹半島の先頭にある岬です。断崖絶壁にへばりつくようにして、岬の先端まで歩きます。細い歩道を歩いて行きますが、片道20分近くかかりますが、ゴールの景色は格別です。北海道にしてはすごく暑い日で、汗が流れ落ちますが、すごく強風が吹いていて心地よかったです。風がヒューヒューと音を立てています。帽子などは飛ばないように気をつけたり、カメラや携帯を下に落とさないように気をつけたりしなくてはいけません。ここが旅の目的地、高台から景色を楽しみます。コバルトブルーの海がとても綺麗で、素敵な写真がたくさん撮れます。
その後、積丹水中展望船で海面から海中や岬の景色を楽しみます。こちらはオプションになっていますが、ほぼほぼ全員乗船し楽しみました。途中、船の下で水中を見ることができます。小さな魚やウニを見ることができます。船では景色を楽しむことができます。船では、前の部分や左側が景色が良いと思います。帰り道にかもめの餌付けができます。一人ひとりに小さなバケツでたくさんの餌がもらえるので、楽しみながらできます。すごい数のかもめが飛んできて迫力満点です。
最後に、田中酒造へより工場見学をしたり試飲をしたりしました。ここで降りて、小樽に観光に出かける方もいました。帰りはそれぞれの場所で降ろしていただき、とても楽しい日替わり旅行になりました。
なかなか1人で行けないところをバスで案内していただきとても良かったです。天候にも左右されますが、晴れていたらとっても自然を満喫できると思います。

Since it can be quite challenging to explore Sapporo individually, I signed up for a tour that included the places I wanted to visit. This was the right decision. The bus took us comfortably to our destinations, making it easy, and the duration of our stay was just right for me. The bus driving was careful and pleasant.

The Okurayama Jump Stadium was truly impressive and worth seeing. At the Hitsujigaoka Observation Hill, I could overlook the vast grasslands and really feel that I was in Hokkaido. Since dinner was in Susukino, I was grateful to be dropped off there on the way back, saving time.

If I have the chance to come to Hokkaido again, I would like to participate in a different tour.

札幌観光を個人で別々に行くのも大変なので、丁度行きたいところがツアーにあったので申し込みました。
これが正解でした。　バスでゆったりと目的地まで連れて行ってくれるので楽だし、私にとって滞在時間も丁度良かったです。　
バスの運転も丁寧で心地良かったです。
大倉山のジャンプ台は本当に圧巻でした。見る価値あります。
羊ヶ丘展望台も広い草原が見渡せて「北海道に来た」と実感出来ます。
夕飯の場所がすすきのだったので、帰りもそこで降ろして貰えたので時間の無駄も無く有り難かったです。
次回、北海道に来る事あれば、また違うツアーに参加してみたいと思いました。

I was very satisfied, just as the title suggests, and I'm glad I went.

Honestly, the meeting point in the morning was hard to find. I ended up looking for a "VELTRA" sign like I would for a tour abroad, and the location indicated on the Google Maps on the site was off from the tourist information center where the reception was. I wandered around the area for 20 minutes without being able to find the reception, and even asked a woman in a bus guide uniform and at a police box, but no one knew where it was. I was really worried I wouldn't make it in time.

(I wish they would mention something like, "There is no VELTRA sign; we are partnered with such-and-such sightseeing bus," and I hope the Google Maps location is accurate.)

The last person I asked finally told me where it was, and I made it just in time...

It started off with that anxiety, but the bus guide was fun and entertaining right from the start, and as I listened to her talk, my mood completely lifted.

This year, since June was hot, the lavender was already finished, but I enjoyed other flowers, and the blue pond was beautiful. My husband and I laughed and enjoyed the experience, saying, "We often see blooming lavender in photos and videos, but seeing withered lavender is actually a rare experience."

The cheese fondue and hamburger for lunch were delicious! The factory-limited Hokkaido wine I ordered separately by the glass (I ordered both red and white, but the white was definitely better!) was also really tasty, and I bought some as souvenirs at the shop after the meal.

The guide, who said she was often told she resembled the Asagaya Sisters, was interesting and shared various stories that made me go "Wow!" continuously, but she wasn't pushy at all. It was the best. Thank you!

タイトルのとおりで大満足、行ってよかったです。

正直、朝の集合場所は分かりづらかった。海外でのツアーのように「VELTRA」のサインを探してしまったうえ、サイト内のGooglemapの示す位置が受付場所の観光案内所とズレていた。２０分前からずっと現場のあたりをウロウロしてたのに受付場所が見つけられず、何ならバスガイドの制服を着た女性や交番で尋ねたけど分からず、間に合わないかと本当に不安でした。

（「VELTRAのサインはありません、何々観光バスと提携しています」など書いてほしいし、Googlemapの位置も正確にしてほしいと思います。）

最後に声をかけた人が教えてくれて、ギリギリセーフ、、、

という不安な始まりでしたが、バスガイドさんが朝いちばんから楽しく面白く、ガイドさんのトークを聞いてるうちにすっかり気分は晴れ晴れ。

今年は６月が暑かったからラベンダーはすっかり終わってしまったとのことでしたが、他の花も楽しめたし、青い池も美しかったし、「咲き誇るラベンダーは写真や映像でよく見るけど枯れたラベンダーを見るなんて逆にレアな体験だよね」と夫と笑って楽しみました。

ランチのチーズフォンデュとハンバーグもおいしかった！　グラスで別注文した工場限定の北海道ワイン（赤白頼みましたが、断然白！）もすごくおいしくて、食後、売店でお土産に買いました。

「阿佐ヶ谷姉妹に似てると言われる」というガイドさん、面白くいろんな話をしてくださって「へえ～」の連続、でも押しつけがましさはなく、最高でした。ありがとうございました！

The explanation from the veteran guide was great. I was impressed that the driver greeted each person every time we got off.
Unfortunately, there were noisy foreign children, which was quite bothersome. I couldn't get angry, but I wished I could have changed my seat.
We were blessed with good weather and were able to go to the tip of Cape Kamoi, and we also got to ride the glass-bottom boat. It was a chance to make up for what we couldn't do last time due to strong winds.

　ベテランのガイドさんの説明は良かったです。運転手さんも降車毎に一人一人に挨拶されて感心しました。
　残念なのは、外国人の子供ずれがやかましくてまいりました。怒るわけにもいかず、イライラして席を変えてもらいたかったです。
　天気に恵まれて神威岬の先端まで行けましたし、グラスボートにも乗れました。前回は強風でできなかったことがリベンジできました。

During my 2-night, 3-day trip to Hokkaido, I wanted to make sure to visit the lavender fields in Furano, the Blue Pond in Biei, Shirahige Falls, and the Patchwork Hill. I didn't place much importance on lunch, so a light meal was fine for me. This tour, which included no lunch and a quick snack on the bus, perfectly met my needs. And the tour guide's skills were impressive! Not only was their smile lovely and dependable, but they also kept perfect time and provided explanations and guidance at each sightseeing spot in both Japanese and beautifully pronounced native-level English. I was truly impressed. The trip was smooth without any traffic, so we returned to Sapporo about an hour early, allowing us to enjoy sightseeing at the Clock Tower and have a leisurely evening. I thought the 50 minutes we spent at Tomita Farm's lavender fields was just right, but I wished we could have taken a bit more time to explore and shop. It depends on the person, but I think 90 minutes would have allowed for a more enjoyable experience. Overall, it was a very satisfying tour. Thank you for your assistance!

２泊3日の北海道旅行で、富良野のラベンダー畑、美瑛の青い池、白髭の滝、パッチワークの丘は外したくないと思っていました。ランチはそれほど重要視していず、軽食でよかったので、ランチ無し+バス車内でパッと済ませるこのツアーはばっちりニーズに合っていました。そして、添乗員さんの能力の高さ！笑顔が素敵で頼りになるのはもちろん、タイムキープも完璧で、ずっと日本語とネイティブのような美しい発音の英語で各観光地の説明やガイドをお一人通訳されていて、本当に頭が下がりました。ずっと渋滞が無くスムーズでしたので、帰りは１時間ほど早く札幌に戻れたので、時計台観光をしたり、夜をゆっくり過ごすことができました。ラベンダー畑の富田ファームの滞在時間が50分と、ちょうどいいかと思っていたのですが、見るところや買い物ももう少しゆっくりできるとよいと思いました。人にもよると思いますが、９０分はあるともう少し堪能できたと思います。大満足のツアーでした。お世話になり、ありがとうございました。
