The bus used for this tour has very spacious and comfortable seats, and the driver is Japanese. The four main attractions on this day trip are definitely the most worth visiting in Biei and Furano. The tour guide, Habi, was very professional and even willing to add LINE to provide pre-trip consultation services, as well as offering great restaurant recommendations. Providing explanations in multiple languages was quite impressive, and make sure to buy the potato chips he recommended. As for the two ramen restaurants for lunch, many locals start coming in to eat after 12:00 PM, so don't wander around the market when you arrive—go straight to eat. There is a delicious bakery inside the market where you can buy some snacks to eat on the bus ride back. Biei and Furano are a bit cooler than Sapporo, and the Blue Pond, in particular, gets extremely cold at night, so be sure to bring enough warm clothing.
