I'm one of the two guys who applied for the Sapporo tour on September 25, 2011!!! I took the Sapporo Biei tour by myself in 2019, and the tour schedule was a similar route back then. I went to Junpei for lunch and visited the Blue Pond and Takushinkan. I can confidently say that this tour was the most satisfying tour I've ever experienced. I believe that the guide's role is very important, even more so than the locations you visit. I didn't feel a big impact from the previous tour, so I didn't really have any expectations. However, as the tour progressed with guide "Ire," I was amazed by his energy and experienced how enjoyable and happy a tour could be. In particular, it was a trip where I felt Ire's thoughts and concerns, along with information about the Sapporo region that I hadn't heard before. The Yubari melon I ate at the first rest stop, especially the yogurt you recommended!!! I didn't expect much, but it was so delicious. When I came to the Blue Pond, the second course, it felt different from the first time. That's because the weather wasn't good back then, maybe because I didn't have a weather fairy, lol. This time, the weather helped, so I was able to see a very beautiful landscape, and I think I'll remember the photos you took so passionately. Next, the Shikisai-no-oka was memorable. The scenery of colorful flowers blooming with clouds hanging in the sky was really... the best. And the photos you took with the DSLR were also the best!!! The most important thing here is that it rained just as we were leaving, lol. Finally, the sun viewed from Patchwork Road, along with the clouds, was so wonderful. This trip is a friendship trip with my best friend since middle school, and it's also the first time I've traveled to Japan in 10 years. The three elements were so well-matched: the weather was especially good, the atmosphere of the travel course, and the person I came with. I would like to thank guide "Ire" and Indigo Travel for providing good memories and recollections about the tour. I'm only taking away happy and enjoyable memories. So the conclusion is that I highly recommend you experience this tour!!! I guarantee you won't regret it.

Definitely book your bus tour with U-Tour! 🥹🫶 I'm sure there are many different guides, right?! Kona-chan was my guide yesterday, and I'd love to request her again for future tours – she was absolutely the best! Watching her guide us throughout the tour, I couldn't help but wonder how much effort she must have put in to be so amazing. It was so fun, and her dedication and sincerity were truly felt! Thank you so much for taking such beautiful photos. I appreciate you going the extra mile to take photos with my digital camera, even though I bothered you with it in addition to my phone camera. Kona-chan is the best! U-Tour is the best! 🤍🩷

Biei has a completely different vibe than Sapporo~!! I was able to directly see and feel the natural environment that I had only seen in photos, and the weather was great. Everything felt like it was helping our trip!! I came here two years ago for a temple tour, but I couldn't come to Biei because I went to Noboribetsu. While my husband and I were thinking about where to go for a babymoon, we decided on Sapporo because it wasn't too hot!!! It was a great choice, haha. - Sunagawa Highway Oasis Our guide, "Ire," recommended snacks, so I tasted the yogurt of my life. The milk flavor was so rich and delicious that I'm planning to eat it again before returning home ♥︎ - Biei (Junpei Lunch) I was surprised at how delicious the tempura was. The food came out right after we arrived and ordered, and I went to the bathroom. It was super fast! - Blue Pond The color is so pretty, and Ire's energy was amazing! I laughed so hard that I think my baby in my belly was happy too. I was touched that she took pictures according to my situation as a pregnant woman and called us a family of three. - Shirahige Falls The water seemed clearer here! - Shikisai-no-oka The flower colors were real and more beautiful than I thought! They took beautiful pictures with a good camera, and it was great that we were the only ones who got to see it when it wasn't raining. - Takushinkan It was great to wrap up with a picture of a tree on a hill! - Patchwork Road I was very proud that I was able to see everything until the end thanks to the consideration of the guide and driver! I was with "Ire" this time, and the best thing was that even though it was a bus tour, it didn't feel tiring even after a long time because they moved really efficiently and quickly, so I was able to see everything without straining my body. We didn't stay in one place for too long, just the right amount of time! They took several pictures with care and spoke cheerfully, so I felt good throughout the trip. I'll never forget the way they called us at the Blue Pond, haha. I recommend that if you're with Ire, you'll have a satisfying trip while using your time efficiently!! Thanks to you, I had a great day. I'll always be cheering for you ^.^

My first time in Sapporo... My independent trip felt clumsy in every way. I didn't even have high hopes for the tour I had booked. However, from the moment the bus departed, the guide shared various Japan-related stories and witty remarks, keeping us laughing throughout the entire journey. The recommendations for great restaurants, based on the guide's personal experience, were very helpful. The guide's unique dialect, which brought laughter at just the right moments, will also be a lasting memory. I hope Connie-chan guide is always healthy and happy.

It was a very fun and comfortable tour. The melon provided at the Oasis rest area was definitely the best. The detailed explanations at each cosmos location were also very informative. You've created memories that make me want to travel to Sapporo again.

The hotel has a convenient parking lot, and is mostly frequented by local Japanese guests. The place is clean and the transportation is fairly convenient.

The museum isn't very big, but it's very pleasant. I highly recommend taking the ski lift; the view from the top of the slope is magnificent!

We had 5 passengers and got a relatively new Alphard. The Japanese driver was polite, spoke English, and drove calmly and safely. He helped recommend and plan our itinerary because we left the hotel late and it was raining heavily, so we couldn't visit all the places. On the way back, he dropped us off at a restaurant in Sapporo just in time. If we go again, we will definitely use the service again.
