Reviews
Asahiyama Zoo is great. It is recommended to bring your own lunch. You can see more animals without having to eat lunch at the zoo. You can take a lot of beautiful photos in Ueno Garden. The sea of sunflowers is very beautiful and spectacular. It is recommended to buy sunflower ice cream, which is delicious !
The package is good for people who intend to go to these attractions but could not drive or solo travel. As these attractions are on the outskirts of Sapporo, an estimated 3+hour drive. it is good to be able to visit these beautiful places.
Hokuryo was amazing, wish we could stay a little longer (1.5 hours would be great). It was comfortable, convenient, and fast (like the drive literally). Thanks for the trip!
I was worried about the weather, but when I arrived, it didn't rain much, and the flowers were blooming vibrantly! Our tour guide, Chen, was very enthusiastic, and the overall itinerary was well-organized. It saved a lot of time not having to plan the route myself!
great to join for summer if you want to go for both Furano lavender and sunflower. it save a lot of hassle and time for travel from Sapporo.
Ms Li Yang was a great guide and driver, even though the sunflower farm was far away but the journey was smooth and comfortable. Definitely enjoyed the sunflower village, farm tomita and ningle terrace. Please have more sunflower tours, thank you! 🤩
If you don't have access to a car, this is a great car tour for hitting all 3 places (Hokuryu Sunflower Village, Tomita Farm, and Ningle Terrace) in one day, which would be impossible with public transportation. The itinerary times are accurate, and the tour is self-guided as described (our tour guide mainly acted as a driver). Also, there was food available for purchase at every site.
All good. Except that the car was very uncomfortable.
One and a half hours is too rushed for the first stop, Mount Asahidake. I feel like you need at least two hours, or even more, to properly enjoy the round-trip cable car ride and the sights. Whether it was because it was a tour mainly for Chinese tourists or not, everyone except me failed to return on time here, which disrupted the schedule for the next tour. Guide XIXI, you worked hard.
sunflower field is really worth the visit.
