Reviews
Our guide was very enthusiastic and drove smoothly, never speeding, and always followed traffic regulations. They answered all our questions. The only downside was that this season didn't seem to be the best time to visit; the trees were bare, there were no flowers in Furano, and Century Hill still had patches of snow. This was the only regrettable part of the trip.
Due to insufficient numbers, our tour was changed to a smaller vehicle. Our driver and guide, Mr. Sun Junzhe, drove very smoothly, making the journey comfortable. The two children also enjoyed chatting with him. On July 9th, the lavender at Shikisai no Oka was in full bloom. Other flowers were blooming but not yet at their peak; it might be even more beautiful by mid-July. As for Farm Tomita, almost all the flowers were in bloom, and the scenery was beautiful and very pleasant. (^^) I'll bring my family to visit again next time.
