Things to do in Furano Marche

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.

Our tour guide, Hana, was always smiling, energetic, and very patient. Even on a one-day tour, she made us feel right at home. Hana thoroughly explained the background of each attraction and recommended delicious local specialties at every stop, such as fruit corn and lavender ice cream. She was also excellent at helping travelers take photos! Hana introduced us to Hokkaido's unique characteristics, local products, and even taught us little tidbits like how to distinguish different grades of cantaloupe. She also shared her personal recommendations for must-try foods in Sapporo, helping visitors to Japan understand Hokkaido better. Even though it rained that day, we still had a wonderful experience.

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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommended! I had an amazing time on this popular Hokkaido day tour! We visited Asahiyama Zoo, Shirogane Blue Pond, Shirahige Waterfall, Ningle Terrace, and the "Influencer Tree" all in one day. Every spot was beautiful and worth seeing! Our tour guide, Sunny, was very friendly and kind. Her explanations were clear, and she took great care of everyone. The schedule was perfectly planned, so we never felt rushed. The transportation was comfortable, and it was excellent value for money.

It was truly a wonderful day of discoveries with a very kind guide. It would be helpful to have a document in French that could be given to us, briefly explaining what there is to discover at each stop along the route.

Tour guide was very kind. There were only 2 of us during the trip but he was still eager and happy to show us around. On the way back he even asked us if we wanted to be dropped off at a specific location, he helped us find an open shopping centre. The places we visited were very beautiful as well. For reference we went during the last week of September. There were very few lavenders but the rest of the flowers were in bloom. We highly recommend this trip.

I booked a ski instructor for my two daughters. Before the lesson, they added me on WhatsApp to arrange the meeting, ask about the students' basic skiing ability, and send the ski instructor's contact information. We booked an English-speaking instructor for 6 hours, from 10 AM to 4 PM (with a 1-hour lunch break). The instructor picked them up at the ski rental shop. My two daughters loved the instructor; she was very kind and took photos and videos throughout the lesson. We got so many videos of the kids skiing. We were very impressed!

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.
