Things to do in Tree of Ken and Mary

This was my first time in Hokkaido, and I was traveling alone with limited mobility, so I was a bit anxious. However, I found a tour that met all my expectations and decided to join for the first time! I was initially worried because the guide and driver were foreigners, but they provided explanations and guidance meticulously in both Japanese and their native language, and they were very pleasant! At the zoo, we barely had enough time to look around and didn't have a chance to eat lunch. I thought an extra 30 minutes would have been nice. Also, I wondered if we would have seen the main animals better if we had entered through the main gate. Overall, though, it was enjoyable to see many animals unique to Hokkaido! The Seven Star Tree and the Patchwork Road were also very beautiful! Farm Tomita was crowded with tourists, and I couldn't try the melon souvenirs, so I wished I had more time there. Nevertheless, I'm grateful and had a great time visiting many places I wouldn't have been able to see on my own. Thank you very much!

wonderful experience with our guide Lucy who is patient, warm and hospitable. she shared many interesting facts about the various sites and Hokkaido in general. we enjoyed the trip more so with her as our guide. the itinerary is good and rather packed but it’s fine as we get to see more places.

Our tour guide, Lucy, provided detailed explanations of Hokkaido's itinerary, culture, and history in Mandarin, English, and Japanese. Her presentation was rich and engaging, and her dedication was evident, making the entire trip very enjoyable. The driver's skills were excellent, balancing speed and safety, which made us feel secure. The only downside was that some group members were late, which delayed the itinerary and ultimately prevented us from buying the blue ice cream. The round-trip minibus journey, lasting about 4 hours, was quite long, and sitting for an extended period left my lower back and hips feeling a bit numb and uncomfortable. Overall, if you want to experience the attractions around Furano and Biei quickly within a limited time, this tour is still a good option. It's especially recommended for first-time visitors to Hokkaido who wish to see multiple sights in one go.

We joined a one-day tour in Furano, and the itinerary was incredibly smooth throughout the day. Although there were many attractions and the pace was a bit fast, we had enough time at each location for photos and food, so the scheduling was perfectly fine. Before the trip, I saw some reviews mentioning that people might get hungry, but actually, there was food available for purchase at every stop along the way. Hokkaido's white corn was super sweet, the melon bread was fragrant and soft, and the croquettes were also delicious, so there was absolutely no need to worry about going hungry. Special praise goes to our tour guide, Chillin! The group included foreigners, Japanese, Chinese, and Hong Kongers, and she was able to communicate with everyone in their respective languages. Her explanations were clear and friendly, which created a wonderful atmosphere for the entire group. The luckiest part was that everyone in the group was incredibly punctual, so the timing at each stop was perfectly managed, with no delays at all. Our guide also gave us tips at each attraction on which souvenirs were worth buying, which were inexpensive, and which offered good value for money, which was very practical for those who struggle with shopping! Overall, this tour offered great value for money and is highly recommended for anyone who wants to visit multiple classic attractions in one day.

The weather was great on the day of the tour, and there weren't many tourists, so we could explore and take photos to our heart's content. The scenery was also incredibly beautiful. Our tour guide, Xiao Dong, recommended the local corn, which was very sweet. I didn't choose the all-you-can-eat cantaloupe option, but they also sold individual slices, so I felt that one or two pieces were enough to get a taste. If you want to try lavender and cantaloupe flavored ice cream, you don't have to choose just one; Tomita Farm offers a mixed flavor so you can try both at once. The entire itinerary was perfectly timed, allowing plenty of time to explore and take photos without feeling rushed. There was ample rest time in between, and both the bus and the areas around the attractions were very clean. Our guide, Xiao Dong, was also very enthusiastic, telling us about local snacks and products, and where to find the best value.

We had a great trip and it was a special day in March since it was snowing, we just wanted to have viewed each location more as 20minutes allocation per area is a bit tight, considering the snowy and slippery roads that we have to walk to and we have a senior family member. Dara was very understanding of the passengers even though we’re late to return. And I hope that there is a charging port at the bus since almost all our tours has an outlet in the bus except for this one.

It was a very relaxed trip, especially since we visited many places with shorter停留 times. I'm very grateful to our Taiwanese tour guide, Xiao Hong, for his enthusiastic help. Afterward, he even shared beautiful scenic photos and discount coupons with everyone!

The tour guide and driver were both excellent. However, the quality of fellow travelers can be a hit or miss. Two Thai women kept talking loudly while the guide was explaining the day's itinerary, making it impossible to hear what the guide was saying. It really detracted from the experience. If you can't be considerate, you shouldn't travel! Unfortunately, there were no other seats available to move to. Sigh.

The tour was excellent! We visited many places. Even though there were only 4 of us, we had a small car, like an Alphard, which felt like a private tour. The driver was very helpful, communicated well, was polite, and always smiling. We got to see everything on the itinerary, plus they added Tomita Farm and a herb garden for us. The time spent at each stop was just right, and the weather was great. Everything went smoothly and comfortably. I highly recommend it!
