Thanks to Hiyo-chan Guide, I think I had a fun Biei tour~~ I was worried about going with my parents, but the seats were spacious and the time allocation was perfect, so it was great! I went straight to the Genghis Khan restaurant after the tour and tasted it!! It was really delicious. No smell at all, how can it be~~ It was the best. You even printed out the pictures at the end, and even if you just keep the pictures, it feels different to have them printed out directly, so thank you again~~~ I also learned the difference between Wakuwaku and Dokidoki for the first time~ I will use Waku Waku to Wakuwaku next time too - Thank you!

There are many different crab dishes, and you can taste that the crab is very fresh. Each dish tastes good, and the portion size of the whole set is very filling, even a bit too much. I would recommend it if you want to experience exquisite crab cuisine!

Biei tour with Connie-chan. First of all, the course is just too good. There's no place to skip, from the Blue Pond, Shirahige Falls, Takushinkan, and Shikisai-no-oka, which you must visit in Biei!! And the guide Connie-chan, who gave us the bus tour, was so cheerful!! The weather was cloudy and rainy, which was really upsetting, but thanks to Connie-chan's explanations of Hokkaido's history and when and where is good, I had fun throughout the bus ride! (She explained it so well and so fun :D) If I come to Sapporo again next time, I definitely want to go on a Biei tour again. I'm making good memories with my friend and leaving. (She takes great pictures.. Awesome). Thank you, Connie-chan!!

Located near the tram, a few minutes' walk, with a convenience store nearby. Luggage can be deposited in advance. The heating is a bit hot, but overall it's okay, not bad.

Although you need to exchange for a physical ticket at the counter, the exchange process is very quick. The weather was very good on the day I went to the observation deck, so I was able to see very far. This observation deck is a very worthwhile place to visit.

It's close to Sapporo Station, making it easy to find after taking the JR from New Chitose Airport. The breakfast was really delicious. The neighborhood around the hotel is quiet, and it's close to Odori Park Exit 31 and Sapporo Station North Plaza, making it a great place to stay for a day tour. I would stay here again.
