Comprehensive day trip itinerary covering many of the popular sightseeing spots in Furano and Biei. Operator appears to be reputable and used by both local and overseas tourists. This was perfect as we went as a family of four with no car. Without this tour, it would have been much more expensive or impossible to cover all these areas.
The bus was comfortable and there was sufficient time for each stop to take pictures and have a quick snack. All stops have a toilet and the distance between stops is 30 minutes at most, except the return trip. The main tourist stops were quite crowded, in particular Tomita Farm, the Blue Pond, and Shinkisai-no-okai. If the areas are crowded and there is a queue to park the bus, the tour may be delayed.
One con is that the tour guide only speaks Japanese, so we were unable to understand a lot of the recommendations and commentary. However, the tour guide still knew key phrases in English to make sure everyone was able to see everything as advertised.
Another con is that some of the spots like the rollercoaster road or the straight road are viewed from the bus. Depending on where you sit, you might not be able to see it as it goes by quickly.
Overall, would still recommend for singles/couples/groups who are okay with short stops to see views of Furano and eat some local snacks, all without having to drive.
