Asahikawa Depature Farm Tomita, Biei Blue Pond bus tour

A compact itinerary for sightseeing a number of famous spots in Biei and Furano. The guide is entirely in Japanese but the itinerary still proved most useful. Despite some bad weather the tour was still enjoyable and provided good value. The only spot where more time might have been nice is Farm Tomita (which is really massive); most other spots are simply photo ops. This tour does not include Shikisai no Oka, but I would recommend going there on a separate trip (via the scenic Norokko-go train if possible) without the pressures of a tour bus itinerary to follow as that place is simply too big to cover in a tour like this.

Loveeee the tour!!! It didn't start too early so we didn't have to rush. The places that we visited were sooo pretty, especially Tomita Farm and Blue Pond. These two are Must See for everyone visiting Hokkaido! The guide is very friendly and even we who don't speak japanese could tell that she is very funny. The length of tour was just right and we went back a bit earlier than scheduled. The pace is good, too. This tour is suitable for family who don't like to rush.

Convenient to visit some of these far flung places of attractions in Biei and Furano within a short duration of 6-7 hours. The guide could only speak Japanese and it was difficult for me to even know the time of returning back to the bus unless I asked her specifically. Overall, if you could just want to take photographs on your own, this is still a good offer.

When I signed up, I already knew that this was a Japanese tour and there was no English or Chinese translation. However, every time the tour guide clearly stated the gathering time with signboards, and the things to pay special attention to were also told to group members who did not understand Japanese with cards in various languages. In addition, the stay time at each scenic spot is based on the itinerary, so there is no problem in communication when visiting and leaving the scenic spot, which is worthy of praise. Although I don’t understand Japanese, I know that the tour guide is very responsible and explains the scenery along the way and the scenic spots to visit. What needs to be considered for improvement is to add in the detailed itinerary document those famous scenic spots that will be passed along the way (such as Mt. Tokachi), and remind the group members to pack lunch first so as to make the best use of the limited time to visit the scenic spots (this is a guide for tour guides) Remind group members) etc. Overall, it was a good experience. Coupled with the good weather and the time of visit, I had a pleasant day and would recommend it to my friends.

This is the only tour group departing from Asahikawa. Although it is a Japanese tour group, the tour guide is very responsible and basically explains along the way without selling anything. The main attractions include Tomita Farm, Aoike Pond and Shirahige Falls, but there is no Shikisai Hill, which I think is a little lacking. The scenery is very beautiful, nothing to say.

The guide is very cute, stops 5 places, this price is very worthwhile. Not only foreigners, Japanese people use a lot of tour services.

The Japanese sightseeing bus itinerary has just the right amount of time to stay at various attractions. Although it is all in Japanese, the tour guide will hold up signs and guide you to the attractions, so it is barrier-free. If you can gather early and set off, the time spent at each attraction will increase, which will be even more perfect.

The tour guide is serious, and the tourists in the same car gather on time. The scenic spots are compactly arranged, convenient to visit, and the scenery is beautiful. It is worth a visit. It would be even better if you can stay a little longer at each scenic spot!

The one-day tour covers the natural landscape of Furano, the mysterious and quiet green pond, and the cool and refreshing waterfall. It is a good choice for those who travel freely in Japan but do not want to drive by themselves.

For places with inconvenient transportation, this kind of bus travel is very convenient, and you can easily enjoy car-to-point travel!
