Things to do in Former Hokkaido Government Office

This trip was originally a solo trip to Sapporo that I had planned to celebrate the end of the school semester. However, a week before departure, I mentioned it to my mom, and she said she really wanted to go then too and asked if we could go together. So, I quickly booked an extra spot for the bus tour, hastily prepared, and off we went. I've been on a few bus tours before, and honestly, I've always just used guided tours as a means of transportation to suburban destinations I wanted to visit. But after meeting our guide, Ire, today, my perspective changed a bit. I usually prefer to interpret trips through my own lens and never really liked listening to explanations about places. However, when I heard the guide say, "I can't change the lens of your vision, but I can help you focus it," I started listening intently to the explanations. I began to reflect on what kind of perspective I've been taking when visiting places. To be honest, a big reason I signed up was to take photos, but before I knew it, I was on a trip where I was absorbing the impressions each stop gave me. The two-shot photo the guide took of my mom and me made my mom so happy that it made me happy too. We also got into Junpei, a restaurant in Biei town, smoothly without any waiting, and the conversation I had with the owner at the recommended cafe was so warm and pleasant. Although I was tired from waking up early, I laughed a lot thanks to the guide's infectious, happy laughter. Thank you! Congratulations on your marriage!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Biei tour was absolutely the best! The beautiful scenery of Biei was wonderful, and I was able to travel comfortably and enjoyably throughout the entire itinerary. In particular, our guide, Hikaru, was so kind and attentive, which made the trip even more satisfying. The explanations during our travels were interesting, and they took beautiful photos for us, leaving us with many great memories. If I ever come to Sapporo again, I would definitely love to take a Otaru tour with Guide Hikaru! Rakutour is a company you can trust and book with confidence. I highly recommend it to anyone considering a trip to Biei. Thank you!

The trip was excellent, the weather was beautiful, the schedules were great and not rush. The tour guide Emma is very professional, helpful and responsible, highly recommend to join this tour.

Had a superb time with our tour. Everything was on time and details were explained clearly. Credit to our guide Vivi who helped explained everything in 3 languages and even helped us take pictures during the trip.

I used the Sonnim Guide on June 20th! First, happy birthday! 🎉 This is my second time using the Wakuwaku Bus, and I'm very satisfied again! I'd heard of Yubari melon but never tried it because it was too expensive, so I was thrilled to be able to eat it here! They took so many great photos, and it was a satisfying trip even though I went alone! They even printed out photos for me, which was wonderful~ I want to go again in the winter! I was so happy to visit the Blue Pond, which was a must-see on my first trip to Hokkaido! I'm also planning to use Hokkaido Line 2~ ♡

I heard that Hikaru, our guide, is Japanese, and I was so impressed by her perfect Korean. I was touched by her detailed explanations and thoughtfulness, and I definitely want to travel with Guide Hikaru again someday. I'll buy you Yoajeong (yogurt ice cream) when we meet in Korea! ❤️

This was my first tour during my trip to Japan, and my first visit to Sapporo. I saw that the Biei Furano tour seemed essential, so I diligently read reviews and decided to go with Indigo.

Thanks to Guide Sachi, our tour was fun and comfortable! She was incredibly kind and took amazing photos. The tomato beer she recommended is now my all-time favorite!
