Our tour guide, Lucy, was very professional and provided us with a lot of different information. Although our departure was delayed due to a restaurant issue during lunch, Lucy did her best to help us catch up on the itinerary, ensuring that our time visiting the flower fields and other attractions was not reduced. That was fantastic! Also, I had read reviews saying that by the time the tour reached Farm Tomita, the farm would already be closed. However, Lucy specially adjusted the itinerary, taking us to Farm Tomita first, then to Shikisai-no-Oka, Aoiike (Blue Pond), and Shirogane Falls. This allowed us to enjoy cantaloupe and lavender ice cream at Farm Tomita. The arrangements were incredibly flexible! I originally joined this day tour just for the convenience of transportation, but thanks to Lucy, I also learned about Hokkaido's history, culture, cuisine, and more. This was the best day tour I've ever taken! Thank you, Lucy!

Just worth the purchase! We spent it in Tower TV, Mt. Moiwa, and Onsen. Just a great deal considering the individual rates. Though, I suggest that it should also offer unlimited transportation (same as Osaka Amazing Pass), also more free facilities. Though, we're happy! Thanks!

Our guide, Ms. Lisa, was fantastic—very knowledgeable about the places, and incredibly kind, cheerful, and warm. We truly enjoyed the tour. We just wish we had more time at Blue Pond, as it felt a bit short and we wanted to fully appreciate the views and nature. Overall, this is one of the best tours we’ve booked. We can’t wait to come back for the summer Furano lavender field tour!

Hong was absolutely amazing. He spoke clearly and engagingly, making everything easy to understand and enjoyable. You can really feel his passion for what he does—it shows in the way he connects with people and brings every part of the tour to life. Highly recommended!

This one is really a value for money, you will be able to tour a lot of gems in Biei/Furano area in a day. The tour guide is very accommodating, even though she is not that fluent in English she is trying her very best to translate it.

All activities & scenic spot completed with good meals provided. All of us are enjoying so much with the 2 days 1 night trip. Unfortunate due to bird flu, the zoo cancel penguin parade, however, we still able to take some photo with those cute penguins. Ice drifting is the most excited activity among all, luckily we managed to experience it.
