I had a fantastic experience on the Furano and Biei day tour from Sapporo, booked through Klook. Although the drive from Sapporo to the attractions was a bit long, the small group format made the atmosphere very relaxed. The tour guide was attentive to every traveler, avoiding the rushed feeling often associated with larger tour groups.
The itinerary included classic attractions such as Ningle Terrace, Shirogane Blue Pond, Shirahige Falls, and the Christmas Tree of Biei. There was ample time at each location for photos and sightseeing.
What was particularly commendable was the guide's commentary during the drive, sharing insights into Hokkaido's history and the stories behind the attractions. They provided explanations in both Chinese and English, ensuring that travelers from different countries could understand the background of each site. The entire journey was not just about seeing the sights, but also about learning more about Hokkaido's culture and origins.
Overall, the itinerary was well-planned, the guide was professional, and the attractions were definitely worth seeing.
If you're visiting Hokkaido for the first time and want to explore Furano and Biei at a relaxed pace, I highly recommend this day tour.
