Ting at lave i Tree of Ken and Mary

Det var min første gang i Hokkaido, og jeg var alene med et begrænset bevægelsesområde, så jeg var nervøs. Men jeg fandt en plan, der opfyldte mine ønsker, og besluttede mig for at deltage i en tur for første gang! Jeg var lidt bekymret, da guiden og chaufføren var udlændinge, men de gav venligt og omhyggeligt forklaringer og information på både japansk og fremmedsprog, og de var meget behagelige! I zoologisk have var der knap tid til at spise frokost, og det var lige akkurat, at vi nåede at se det hele. Jeg tænkte, at det ville have været rart med yderligere 30 minutter. Jeg tænkte også, at det ville have været godt, hvis vi kunne have set hovedattraktionerne med det samme, hvis vi var kommet ind via hovedindgangen. Men alt i alt var det sjovt at se mange dyr, der er unikke for Hokkaido! Seven Star Tree og Patchwork Road var også meget smukke! På Farm Tomita var der mange turister, og jeg fik ikke spist melon som souvenir, så jeg ville gerne have haft lidt mere tid. Men jeg er taknemmelig for, at jeg fik set så mange steder, som jeg ikke ville have kunnet besøge alene, og det var en fornøjelse. Tak!

Rejseleder Lucy gav en detaljeret forklaring på Hokkaido-turen, kultur og historie på kinesisk, engelsk og japansk. Indholdet var rigt og levende, og man kunne mærke hendes engagement, hvilket gjorde hele turen meget fornøjelig. Chaufføren var en dygtig bilist, og kørehastigheden og sikkerheden var i top, hvilket skabte tryghed. Det var ærgerligt, at nogle gruppemedlemmer kom for sent, hvilket forsinkede tidsplanen og betød, at vi til sidst ikke kunne købe den blå is. Den ca. 4 timer lange minibuskørsel tur-retur var lang, og den lange tid i bilen gjorde, at lænden og hofterne føltes lidt følelsesløse og ubehagelige. Alt i alt er denne tur stadig et godt valg, hvis man ønsker at opleve seværdighederne i Furano og Biei-området hurtigt inden for en begrænset tidsramme. Den anbefales især til dem, der besøger Hokkaido for første gang og ønsker at se flere seværdigheder på én gang.

We joined a one-day tour in Furano, and the itinerary was incredibly smooth throughout the day. Although there were many attractions and the pace was a bit fast, we had enough time at each location for photos and food, so the scheduling was perfectly fine. Before the trip, I saw some reviews mentioning that people might get hungry, but actually, there was food available for purchase at every stop along the way. Hokkaido's white corn was super sweet, the melon bread was fragrant and soft, and the croquettes were also delicious, so there was absolutely no need to worry about going hungry. Special praise goes to our tour guide, Chillin! The group included foreigners, Japanese, Chinese, and Hong Kongers, and she was able to communicate with everyone in their respective languages. Her explanations were clear and friendly, which created a wonderful atmosphere for the entire group. The luckiest part was that everyone in the group was incredibly punctual, so the timing at each stop was perfectly managed, with no delays at all. Our guide also gave us tips at each attraction on which souvenirs were worth buying, which were inexpensive, and which offered good value for money, which was very practical for those who struggle with shopping! Overall, this tour offered great value for money and is highly recommended for anyone who wants to visit multiple classic attractions in one day.

Vejret på turen var fantastisk, og der var ikke mange turister, så vi kunne nyde at udforske og tage billeder. Landskabet var også utrolig smukt. Vores guide, Xiao Dong, anbefalede den lokale majs, som var meget sød. Jeg valgte ikke at deltage i "spis alt hvad du kan"-melonbuffeten, men der var også meloner til salg enkeltvis, så jeg følte, at et par skiver var nok til at smage. Hvis du vil prøve både lavendel- og melonsmagis, behøver du ikke at vælge – Farm Tomita tilbyder en blandet smag, så du kan prøve begge på én gang. Tidsplanen for hele turen var perfekt, med rigelig tid til at udforske og tage billeder uden at føle sig for presset. Der var masser af pauser, og bussen samt områderne omkring seværdighederne var meget rene. Guiden Xiao Dong var også meget entusiastisk og fortalte os om lokale snacks og produkter, samt hvor man kunne købe ting til en god pris.

wonderful experience with our guide Lucy who is patient, warm and hospitable. she shared many interesting facts about the various sites and Hokkaido in general. we enjoyed the trip more so with her as our guide. the itinerary is good and rather packed but it’s fine as we get to see more places.

We had a great trip and it was a special day in March since it was snowing, we just wanted to have viewed each location more as 20minutes allocation per area is a bit tight, considering the snowy and slippery roads that we have to walk to and we have a senior family member. Dara was very understanding of the passengers even though we’re late to return. And I hope that there is a charging port at the bus since almost all our tours has an outlet in the bus except for this one.

The tour guide and driver were both excellent. However, the quality of fellow travelers can be a hit or miss. Two Thai women kept talking loudly while the guide was explaining the day's itinerary, making it impossible to hear what the guide was saying. It really detracted from the experience. If you can't be considerate, you shouldn't travel! Unfortunately, there were no other seats available to move to. Sigh.

It was a very relaxed trip, especially since we visited many places with shorter停留 times. I'm very grateful to our Taiwanese tour guide, Xiao Hong, for his enthusiastic help. Afterward, he even shared beautiful scenic photos and discount coupons with everyone!

The tour was excellent! We visited many places. Even though there were only 4 of us, we had a small car, like an Alphard, which felt like a private tour. The driver was very helpful, communicated well, was polite, and always smiling. We got to see everything on the itinerary, plus they added Tomita Farm and a herb garden for us. The time spent at each stop was just right, and the weather was great. Everything went smoothly and comfortably. I highly recommend it!
