A well-designed itinerary that allows just enough time to enjoy each destination without feeling too rushed. Our wonderful guide James speak three languages including Chinese and English. He's very attentive and helpful. The lavender is already gone in late September but the other flowers are still in bloom. 100% recommended!

Since I was traveling alone, I thought joining a tour would be the best way to visit the Asahiyama Zoo, so I booked one. It turned out to be a very wise decision. I also got to visit a few other attractions I'd always been interested in, which made me extremely happy.

Great for first-time visitors to Hokkaido! This one-day tour covers both the zoo and the popular natural attractions in Biei. Departures are available from two meeting points in Sapporo in the morning, with plenty of free time allotted at Asahiyama Zoo, followed by stops at the Shirahige Waterfall, the Shirogane Blue Pond, and the Ningle Terrace, before returning to Sapporo in the evening. The overall pace is moderate without feeling too rushed, making it a hassle-free and convenient day trip.

We are so grateful to have 柳生导游 as our guide! She really went above and beyond throughout the entire trip. We truly feel how passionate and enthusiastic she is about what she does. She explained everything so clearly and shared so many interesting details, tips and little recommendations along the way. It made the whole journey much more enjoyable and helped us understand and appreciate the places we visited so much more. What really stood out was her genuine care for everyone in the group. She was attentive, approachable and always happy to help. It felt like we weren’t just following a tour itinerary, we were being taken care of by someone who genuinely wanted us to have a wonderful experience. A big thank you as well to the tour company for preparing the thoughtful little gifts for us. Such a lovely touch and a beautiful way to end the experience! Thank you 柳生导游 for making our trip so memorable. We truly appreciate all your effort, energy and passion. Highly recommended!

An unforgettable trip! Our guide Hong was incredibly knowledgeable about Hokkaido and Ainu culture, and his multilingual skills were impressive. The itinerary was seamless and well-organized. The Blue Pond, Shikisai-no-Oka, and Farm Tomita were absolute highlights. Highly recommended!
