Reviews
The itinerary covered everything, transportation was smooth, and the day trip was on time. I would choose this tour again. I recommend it to anyone who wants to visit Biei and Furano but has limited time and doesn't want to rent a car; a private day tour is an excellent option.
Guide/Driver (forgot his name) drove safely and comfortably. He gave the necessary info but only in Chinese. We ended up being in a mini van on this tour, may be due to the no. of bookings, but because it ended up being a comfortable and safe ride, it was fine. We weren't allowed to eat as it was a mini van as opposed to a coach/big tour bus. We went to all the locations exactly as mentioned on the itinerary, Asahiyama Zoo to see the penguin walk first, the Christmas Tree, the Biei waterfall and Blue Pond, then finally a stop at a farm (not well known and very quiet actually. There was probably only two other small groups there) for the snow mobiles. The snow mobiles were quite expensive for a 20min ride, so luckily we could do some free sledging with the remaining time we had. As for the snow mobiles, the driver/tour guy asked us at the beginning if we wanted to do it so he could arrange. Payment was taken when we arrived at the location but cash only. Sufficient time at each place.
The trip went smoothly, the scenery was beautiful, and the driver was excellent. Although it was snowing heavily, the driver arrived at all destinations on time. In short, a five-star rating.
The very friendly tour guide, detailed introductions to the attractions, and thoughtful arrangements made my day trip very enjoyable.
The driver controlled the itinerary very well, and we got to experience every attraction.
If you are not driving yourself, I highly recommend taking this day tour. The content is rich, you can see the penguin parade, and there are polar bears. The tour guide, Ah Yang, provides excellent and friendly service and is worth praising!
I was lucky enough to see the penguin walk at Asahikawa Zoo, although the time spent there was a bit short, but that's the trade-off for arranging a one-day trip.
A very satisfying sightseeing day trip, definitely worth buying! The itinerary was well planned and arranged, and the navigator was very attentive and responsible.
The driver, Da Zhuang, is very responsible and does his best to assist with the needs of the passengers. Driving in Hokkaido in the winter is too dangerous, so if you want to experience the snowy scenery, leave it to the professionals!

Good to know
- Penguin walks usually start in mid-December, depending on the depth of the snow at the zoo.
- If the bus tour cannot stop due to the scenic area's daily visitor limits, it will be changed to Shikisai-no-Oka or Chiyoda Farm. This situation cannot be known in advance and no further notice will be given. If you must visit Ningle Terrace, please choose the small group car tour.
- Hokkaido roads may be snowy and icy in winter. Itinerary times may be adjusted due to weather or traffic conditions. Please refer to the actual arrangements on the day.
- Asahiyama Zoo tickets: Premium small group plans require self-care (self-paid), while bus plans already include them. Please confirm according to your chosen plan.
- It is recommended to wear anti-slip snow boots and warm clothing, and confirm the meeting point and time in advance.
