What to expect
[Daisetsuzan National Park, Asahidake]
Hokkaido's highest peak and one of Japan's earliest secret spots to welcome autumn leaves! Take the Asahidake Ropeway up to Sugatami Station, located at an altitude of approximately 1,600 meters, and overlook the vast mountain scenery. In autumn, the high-altitude vegetation, interwoven with red, orange, and golden hues, covers the valley, allowing you to experience Hokkaido's magnificent nature in the crisp mountain air.
- Asahidake is one of the earliest areas in Japan to welcome autumn leaves. The best viewing period for autumn leaves may vary depending on the climate and weather conditions of the year.
- The Asahidake Ropeway fare is at your own expense and may be suspended due to weather conditions. We appreciate your understanding.
[Asahiyama Zoo]
Hokkaido's super popular must-visit attraction! Famous for its unique "action exhibits," it allows visitors to observe penguins, polar bears, seals, and other animals up close in their natural and lively state. Both adults and children can have a great time, making it a top choice for family trips in Hokkaido.
[Otokoyama Sake Brewery Museum]
The newly upgraded Otokoyama Sake Park has transformed the entire sake brewery into a recreational space suitable for both adults and children. The park features a giant slide made from a one-sho bottle of sake, as well as a sake cup plaza where families can run, play, and hide-and-seek, adding to the fun of family outings. In addition to selling limited edition Otokoyama sake, the new shop also offers specialty drinks such as coffee, Calpis, and shaved ice made with the brewery's natural brewing water, allowing visitors to enjoy a relaxing break. Otokoyama Sake Brewery also utilizes the pristine underground water formed by the melting of Daisetsuzan's perennial snow, combined with generations of brewing techniques, to continuously develop diverse specialty drinks, offering a brand new sake brewery experience.
- Sake tasting is subject to actual availability on site; those under the legal drinking age in Japan and drivers are prohibited from drinking. Tasting and in-store beverages are at your own expense.
[Biei Shirohige Waterfall]
A popular and dreamy hidden gem in Biei's Shirogane Onsen area! White waterfalls cascade like "white beards" from the rock face, flowing into the clear and charming "Biei River." In autumn, the forest, interwoven with red and yellow, surrounds the valley, with white waterfalls, a clear blue stream, and vibrant autumn colors all in one frame, making every shot look like a Hokkaido postcard.
[Ningle Terrace]
Located next to the New Furano Prince Hotel, Ningle Terrace is a cluster of forest cabins filled with a fairytale atmosphere. Stroll along the forest path and admire the unique shops selling handicrafts, wooden sundries, candles, glass art, and more, experiencing the tranquil and healing forest ambiance.
After the lights are turned on in the evening, it feels even more like stepping into a fairytale world, making it one of Furano's most popular and dreamy attractions.
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.
sunflower field is really worth the visit.
The sunflowers are incredibly beautiful and worth the ticket price! While Farm Tomita no longer has lavender, the soft-serve ice cream is still great. If you're not particularly interested in the fairy house, you can pay 100 yen to visit the adjacent flower garden.
