All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

Despite my age, I pushed myself a bit and went all the way to the tip of the Shakotan Peninsula. The weather was great, and the scenery was stunning, but with the meeting time approaching, I started to feel unwell on the way back and barely made it in time. Unfortunately, I couldn't enjoy the seafood bowl I was looking forward to because I felt sick. I am grateful to the staff and the guide for their kindness.

歳甲斐も無く少々無理して、積丹半島先っちょ迄行きました。
お天気も良く最高の景色でしたが、集合時間もあり帰りに、苦しくなりやっとの思いで間に合い帰りました。
しかし折角の海鮮丼も気分悪く食べられませんでした。
お店の方や、ガイドさんに優しくして頂き感謝でした。

It was a wonderful trip for me, a solo traveler at 84 years old. It wasn't too hard, and I was impressed by the convenience of the audio guide, which I used for the first time with people from various countries. (I am Japanese, from Osaka, haha.)

高齢者の私(84歳)1人旅でしたが、大変楽しい旅でした。
それ程ハードでも無く色々の国の方にもイヤホンでのガイド初めてでしたが便利だと感激しました。
(私は日本人大阪からでした(笑)

In between the continuous rainy days, we were able to enjoy beautiful clear weather and see the best views. Although the itinerary was packed, we had plenty of time at both Cape Kamui and Otaru. However, since lunch inevitably ran past the usual time, the coveted sea urchin was sold out. Our tour guide, Victoria, provided explanations in three languages. She used a board to communicate the schedule and meeting times, which was very thorough, and I believe the itinerary progressed very smoothly. Thank you to the driver and everyone involved.

雨天続きの合間にきれいに晴れて、最高の景色が見られました。
盛りだくさんの内容でしたが、きちんと神威岬でも、小樽でも時間に余裕がありました。
ただ、ランチがどうしてもお昼時を過ぎてしまうので念願のウニは売り切れてました。
添乗員のヴィクトリアさんは、3ヶ国語を駆使しての説明。ボードも使用して日程、集合時間の周知など行き届いていて、大変スムーズに日程が進んだと思います。
運転手さん含め、ありがとうございました。

I used the same tour last year and had a great experience, so I decided to use it again this year.

To reach the tip of Cape Kamui, if you take your time to take photos, you might end up rushing back and could be cutting it close with the bus schedule, or some people might not make it back in time, so be careful. This year, I learned from last year's experience and kept my photo-taking to a minimum on the way there, and jogged a bit to enjoy the beautiful Shakotan blue. There were fewer tourists this year compared to last time, so I was able to return comfortably.

Otaru offers plenty of free time, so you can enjoy it fully.

The guide was fluent in three languages and was very pleasant. I felt that the walking pace was a bit fast, so those who aren't used to walking or older individuals might fall behind a little.

I had a fun time participating again this year, and it turned out to be a fulfilling day.

去年も同じツアーを利用して良かったので今年もまた利用しました

神威岬の先端まで行くには､撮影しながらのんびりだと走って戻ってバス時間ギリギリか､人によっては間に合わないので注意が必要です
今年は去年の教訓を生かして行きの撮影は控えめにして行きから小走りで
綺麗な積丹ブルーに癒されました
観光客も前回の時より少なめだったので余裕で戻って来れました

小樽は自由時間たっぷりなので充分楽しめます

ガイドさんは3ヶ国語堪能で感じの良い方でした
少し歩くのが早いと感じたので､あまり歩き慣れていない方や年配の方は少し遅れを取ると思います

今年も楽しく参加できて充実した1日になりました

Since we departed at a reasonable time of 9 AM, we were able to enjoy a proper breakfast at the hotel. The bus guide and driver were very polite and left a good impression. The lunch, including the hamburger and cheese fondue, was delicious, and I enjoyed the factory-exclusive wine (at an additional cost) with my preferred flavor. However, sitting at a four-person table facing strangers while sitting next to someone else felt a bit awkward.

In Furano, the early-blooming lavender was beautiful, and the blue pond was lovely as well. I thought it might be a bit early for the Shikisai no Oka (Colorful Hill) given the season. Overall, I had a great time and was glad to participate.

9時出発という無理のない時間帯なので、ホテルでの朝食もしっかりとれました。
バスのガイドさん、運転手さん、とても丁寧で好感が持てました。
ランチのハンバーグ、チーズフォンデュも美味しい、工場限定ワイン（別料金）は好きな風味。ただ、レストランのお席、2人並び席で4人テーブルを知らない方と向き合うのは気まずい感じでした。
富良野では早咲きのラベンダーがきれいでした。青い池も素敵でした。四季彩の丘は、季節的にちょっと早いかな‥と思います。
総じて楽しかったし、参加してよかったです。

I am very satisfied with the content, but the duration of the stay was not sufficient, so I didn't have enough time to leisurely view the Olympic Museum and the exhibits at Hitsujigaoka. It's more suited for those who want to take photos and buy souvenirs. If you want to study more, it's better to go on your own.

内容的には大変満足していますが、やはり滞在時間は十分ではなかったため、オリンピック博物館や、羊ヶ丘の展示などをゆっくり見る時間はなかったです。写真を撮って、お土産を買って帰る人向けです。もっと勉強したい人は、自分で行った方がいいです。

The content of the tour itself was fulfilling. However, since it was a multilingual tour, the guide provided information in three languages one after the other, which made it a bit tiring for the passengers. Additionally, more time was spent on promoting products rather than explaining the history, climate, and culture of Hokkaido, making it feel almost like a shopping tour (there was no forced purchase). Overall, I got the impression that the quality of the tour was not very high.

ツアーの内容自体は充実しておりました。しかしながら、多言語対応のツアーということもあり、ガイドの方が3カ国語で順番に案内をされるため、乗客側としては少し疲れてしまいました。また、北海道の歴史や風土・文化についての解説よりも、商品のプロモーションに多くの時間が費やされていたため、まるで買い物ツアーに参加しているかのように感じられました（強制的な購入はございませんでした）。全体として、ツアーの質（格調）があまり高くない印象を受けました。

The weather was nice and the Shakotan Blue was very beautiful. It was definitely the right decision to walk all the way to the tip of Cape Kamoi!

Since it was Saturday evening at the Shiroi Koibito Park, there were a lot of people, and I didn't have quite enough time. Still, I was able to hurry and buy some souvenirs and enjoy some soft serve ice cream. It was a very satisfying bus tour!

天気が良くて積丹ブルーが
とてもきれいでした
神威岬先端まで
頑張って歩いて大正解！！

土曜日の夕方に
白い恋人パークだったので人も多く
少し時間が足りなかったです
それでも
急いでお土産を購入して
ソフトクリームも食べる事が出来ました
大満足のバスツアーでした

I'm glad I was able to efficiently visit Cape Kamui and Otaru! Is the guide from China? Since they speak Japanese, English, and Chinese, you shouldn't expect the same level of detailed explanations as you would from a Japanese guide.

神威岬、小樽と効率的に回れて良かったですー
ガイドさんは中国の人？日本語、英語、中国語と話されるので、日本人ガイドさんのようなきめ細かな説明を期待しない方がいいです。

The highway was closed, so we had to go the opposite way, but the driver and the guide coordinated and we were able to visit all the planned locations. They were great at storytelling and attentive to the customers' needs. I would like to participate in a different course next time. It would have been even better if the guide on the day had clearly communicated the change in the boarding location.

高速が通行止めで逆回りでしたが運転手さんとガイドさんが打ち合わせして予定通りの場所を回ることができました。お話も上手でお客様にも気配りが行き届いてました。また違うコースで参加したいと思います。
乗車場所の変更を当日のガイドさんにしっかり伝わっていたらもっと良かったかな。

I was able to visit many places (tourist spots) according to the schedule. The bus driver and the tour guide, as well as the participants, were all very punctual. I was able to enjoy the rest of the itinerary as well.

沢山の場所(観光地)をスケジュール通りに観光出来ました
バスの運転手さん、添乗員さんもそうですが参加した方々が時間厳守でした。
この後の予定も満喫できました。

Since there are many overseas customers, it's understandable that the tour guide isn't Japanese, but the content of the sightseeing information didn't seem professional at all. It felt more like the level of a part-time student. This isn't a language issue; I didn't sense any professionalism in the explanations about the tourist spots, their history, or highlights. I think it would be better to have a veteran driver give the explanations instead.

海外のお客様が多いので、添乗員さんが日本人じゃないのはしかたないのですが、観光案内の内容がプロとは思えない。アルバイト学生みたいなレベル。日本語の問題ではなく、観光地の情報、歴史、見どころの説明内容にプロ意識を感じませんでした。たぶん、ベテラン運転手さんに説明させたほうがいいくらいだと思います。

I recommend this for those who want to relax at Asahiyama Zoo. Although it was unfortunately rainy, there were fewer people, which allowed us to enjoy watching the animals at a leisurely pace.

旭山動物園でゆっくりしたい方にオススメです。あいにくの雨でしたが逆に人が少なくてゆっくり動物をみることができました。

I was worried about the weather. As expected, it rained.

Although I had to put off seeing the blue sea, I changed my mood by exploring the food in Otaru.

It was a tour that I thoroughly enjoyed all day long.

心配していた天候.やっぱり雨だった。
ブルーの海は.お預けだったが.小樽の食べ歩きに気分を変えた.

たっぷり.ガッツリと.1日楽しめたツアーだった。

I participated on a cold day in June with rain and a temperature of 10°C. I managed to visit Kamoi Cape, and the sea was beautiful, but I couldn't help but wonder how much more stunning it would have been if it had been sunny. Unfortunately, the last boat didn't depart due to rough seas, which was very disappointing.

On the positive side, the bus guide was very good at storytelling and tried hard to keep the atmosphere lively, so I didn't feel bored during the bus ride. The seafood bowl for lunch was decent since I was quite hungry. However, it was really sad that I couldn't eat sea urchin, especially since it was in season.

This course might not be worth the cost unless the weather is sunny and the sea is calm.

雨と6月なのに10°Cという寒い日に参加しました。
神威岬にはなんとか行くことができて、海も綺麗でしたが、晴れていたらどんなに綺麗なのかと思うと。。。
最後の船も海が荒れているとのことで出航しなくて、とても残念でした。
良かったのはバスガイドさんがとてもお話が上手くて、なんとか盛り上げてくれようとしてくれ、バスの中では退屈せずに過ごせました。
昼食の海鮮丼はお腹空いていたのでまぁまぁ普通にいただけました。
ウニの時期なのに食べられなかったのは残念通り越して、悲しかった。
このコースは晴れていて、海が穏やかな日じゃないと、コスパ悪いかも。

I was able to efficiently visit various spots like Lake Toya, Lake Shikotsu, and Mount Usu, which are difficult to access without a car. As someone who is not a regular driver, this was a great help. The paid option for the bear ranch was also nice. Both the driver and the tour guide were very pleasant. Thank you for a fulfilling day!

洞爺湖、支笏湖、有珠山等と車がないと行くことが難しいスポットを効率よく色々と見学できました。ペーパードライバーの身には大変助かります。有料オプションですが、熊牧場も良かったです。ドライバーの方や添乗員の方もとても感じの良い方でした。このたびは充実した1日をありがとうございました。

It seems that Sapporo was hit by rain, but Asahikawa enjoyed some sunshine and was fun. The guide was very attentive and did a great job. While some tours may primarily focus on explanations for international visitors and can be hard to understand, this was a wonderful tour. If I have the chance again, I will choose this one! I highly recommend it!

札幌は雨に降られたようですが旭川は薄陽もさして楽しめました。ガイドさんもすごく丁寧でバッチリでした。ツアーによっては海外の方向けの説明がメインでわかりずらいというようなツアーもあるようですがこちらは素晴らしいツアーでした。また機会があればここにします！おすすめです！

This time, I took a day trip tour departing from Sapporo Station. The course efficiently covered sightseeing spots in Furano and Biei in central Hokkaido, with a departure around 9 AM and arrival around 7 PM. It was great because the departure wasn't too early and the arrival wasn't too late considering the distance traveled.

Lunch at Furano Wine House met my expectations, with a delightful mini cheese fondue that paired perfectly with the factory-limited white wine, and the hamburger was delicious, leaving me very satisfied. Since I participated in early June, it was a bit too early for the lavender at Farm Tomita and Shikisai no Oka, so there were fewer types of flowers, which was a bit disappointing. I joined the tour alone, but I was able to chat with the people sitting next to me on the bus, and overall, it was a very satisfying tour.

今回は札幌駅発着の日帰りツアー。道央の富良野、美瑛での観光スポットを効率良く回るコースで出発も朝9時頃、到着も19時頃と走行距離の割には出発早すぎず到着遅すぎずでとても良かったです。
ふらのワインハウスでのランチは期待通りで、プチチーズフォンデュに工場限定の白ワインがとても合いハンバーグも美味しく大満足でした。ファーム富田、四季彩の丘は6月初旬の参加だったため、ラベンダーには少し早かったので花の種類が少なったのが少し残念でした。私はひとり参加でしたがバスの隣席の方々ともお話しすることができ全体的には非常に満足なツアーでした。

I hadn't really thought about visiting Lake Toya because it's quite a distance from Sapporo. But since it includes a bus and lunch, I decided to give it a try.

The weather was great, and I had a lot of fun.

I also enjoyed a delicious lunch.

札幌市内からは距離もあってなかなか洞爺湖までは観光しようと思ってませんでした。
バス&ランチ付きだし、よし行ってみよう

天気にも恵まれ、楽しかったです

ランチも美味しくいただきました

We gathered at the sightseeing bus stop near Sapporo Station. The location was easy to find, and the tour was held even with a small number of participants. As a result, the large bus was almost exclusively for us. With the guide's assistance, we had a great trip. We had plenty of time at the zoo and were able to see the animals we wanted to see. It had been a while since my last visit to the zoo, but I really enjoyed it. On the way back, I bought souvenirs at the service area.

札幌駅近くの観光バス乗り場に集合です。
場所もわかりやすく、停少人数でも開催されます。そのため大型バスがほぼ貸切でした。
ガイドさんの案内もあり、いい旅行ができました。
動物園の時間も十分あり、見たい動物も見れました。
ひさびさの動物園でしたが、楽しめました。
帰りは、SAでのお土産を買って帰りました。

I was able to visit tourist spots that are difficult to go to on my own, and the guide's service was polite, the language was courteous, and the atmosphere was warm. I had a great time. Thank you!

個人では行きづらい観光名所へ行けて、ガイドさんの対応も、言葉も丁寧で雰囲気も優しくて。楽しく過ごせました。ありがとうございました！

I rode the ropeway and saw the collapsed areas and Showa Shinzan. It was enjoyable to have Tom, the guide who speaks three languages, provide the commentary on the bus.

ロープウェイに乗り、崩れ落ちた箇所や昭和新山など見ました。バスの中で三カ国語を話すガイドのトムさんの案内が楽しかったです。

During the tour in early May, I enjoyed famous spots in the Iburi region. I also used this opportunity for a pilgrimage to the sacred sites of a certain gold bar manga (Noboribetsu, Lake Shikotsu, and brown bears)!

At Noboribetsu Onsen, I unexpectedly encountered wild Ezo deer, and at the bear ranch, I was able to see newborn cubs born in April and the breeding behavior of large brown bears. I think I was able to experience the unique charm of participating in spring.

Along the way, the guide's stories were also interesting. They kindly took photos for us, and the communication in three languages was smooth, leaving a very good impression. The pudding and yogurt from the Silo Observatory, the scallops from the Toyako Onsen area, and the soft serve ice cream from the Shikotsu Onsen area, all recommended by the guide, were incredibly delicious.

Although the timing at Lake Toya (during lunch) felt a bit rushed, the distribution of time for the other activities was fine, and overall, the pace was good, so I was satisfied.

Additionally, the scenery from the car window was full of highlights, including the industrial area of Muroran, the wind power generation group in Date, the expansive hills of pastures, and the shimmering lakeside at sunset!

　5月初旬のツアーにて、胆振地方の有名スポットを堪能。某金塊漫画の聖地巡礼（登別・支笏湖・ヒグマ）を兼ねて利用しました！
　登別温泉では偶然にも野生のエゾジカを、熊牧場では4月に生まれたての子熊や、大きなヒグマの繁殖行動を見ることができ、春の参加ならではの魅力を味わえたかなと思います。
　道中、ガイドさんのお話も面白かったです。快く写真を撮ってくださったり、3カ国での対応もスムーズでとても良い印象でした。オススメしてもらった、サイロ展望台のプリンとヨーグルト、洞爺湖温泉街の帆立、支笏湖温泉街のソフトクリーム、どれも大変美味しかったです。
　ツアー時程は、洞爺湖での時間（昼食のタイミング）が若干追われてしまったものの、他の時間配分は問題なし、全体的にはテンポ良かったので満足できました。
　また、車窓からの景色についても、室蘭の工業地帯や伊達の風力発電群、牧場草原の広がる丘、夕陽の煌めく湖岸など、見所満載でした！

I had seen in reviews that there were many foreign participants, so I had assumed it might be noisy, but the bus was quiet, and everything was on schedule, allowing us to have a very smooth day!

The tour guide was very pleasant and surprised us by explaining things in three languages!

The bus drove safely, which was reassuring, but the seats were a bit cramped, so my body started to ache after a long time traveling.

Overall, it was an excellent trip! Thank you!

参加者は外国の方が多いとクチコミで見ていたので、騒がしいのかなーと勝手に思っていたのですが、バスの中は静かで時間もきっちりされていて、とてもスムーズな1日を過ごすことができました！

添乗員さんは感じの良い方で、３ヶ国語で説明もされていて驚きました！

バスも安全運転だったので安心でしたが、座席が狭めなので、長時間移動で体が痛くなりました。。

ですが全体的に◎の旅でした！ありがとうございました！

I walked in an incredible wind. The condition of the road was bad. There were puddles too. But I’m really glad I came because of the wonderful scenery.

ものすごい風の中あるきました。道の状態は、わるかつたです。みずたまりもあつたし。でも、素晴らしい景色で本当にあってよかった

I was aiming to go to the tip of the Shakotan Peninsula, but unfortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately...

積丹半島の先端に行くのが目的でしたが残念残念残念残念残念残念残念残念残念残念残念、、、、、、、、、、

The guide was kind, and the explanations were easy to understand, which was great! Also, the driver had a good personality and drove carefully, making me feel safe. I was satisfied with how efficiently we visited the tourist spots.

ガイドさんが親切で、説明もわかりやすくて、とても良かった！
また、運転手の方も、人柄が良く運転も丁寧で安心できた。
観光スポットも効率よく回れて満足。

The allocation of time for the tour was excellent, and I was able to see all the places I wanted to visit in this area. It was a very good tour. Additionally, our guide, Mr. Yanagyu, was very friendly, and his explanations of each sightseeing spot were very clear, so I was never bored. If I have the opportunity, I would like to participate again.

見学時間の配分などがとても良く、このエリアの行きたかった場所が全て見れて、とても良いツアーでした。また、添乗員の柳生さんはとても気さくで、各名勝地の説明も非常にわかりやすく、全く退屈しませんでした。機会があれば、また参加したいです。

Being so close, with no clouds, and the guide's sensitivity, Lake Toya and its mirror-like surface were exceptional. The lakeside restaurant at Lake Toya also serves delicious food.

あんな近くで、雲も無く、ガイドさんも、感度。洞爺湖の、鏡洞爺湖は、格別でした。洞爺湖ランチ、湖畔亭も、美味しいです。

It was great that it didn't rain, but since it was mostly cloudy, the views weren't as spectacular as they could have been. However, I was able to visit many wonderful places, so I'm glad I participated!

I think our tour guide, Mr. Yanagyu, had a tough time providing explanations in both Japanese and Chinese, but he was very cheerful and took photos and chatted with us, which made the experience incredibly enjoyable! The female driver was also very cheerful and drove safely. Thank you both very much!

雨が降らなかったのは良かったけど…基本曇多めだったのでどこの景色も最高だった！とまではいかなかった　でも、どこもよい所で色々な所に行けたので参加して良かったです！
添乗員さんの柳生さんも日本語と中国語の両方の説明で大変だったと思いますが、明るい方で写真撮ってくれたり話しかけてくれたりとめちゃくちゃ楽しめました！女性のドライバーの方も明るい方で安全な運転をしてくれました！お二方共ありがとうございました！！
