“If the Forest Elf Terrace is temporarily closed, the guide will flexibly adjust the itinerary based on the actual situation on the day. Thank you for your understanding.” A day trip from Sapporo to capture Hokkaido’s most iconic scenery in one go 🚌 No need to change hotels, no need to research transportation yourself, just relax and follow the car. Even first-time visitors to Hokkaido will feel completely at ease.

🐧 Asahiyama Zoo | Popular Must-Visit Attraction No.1 Unlike traditional zoos, Asahiyama is famous for its “ecological exhibits,” allowing close observation of animals from multiple angles. The winter-exclusive penguin walk is the most popular, and polar bears, seals, wolves, and other animals are also very active. There are many photo opportunities, and ample time for sightseeing, so there’s no need to rush.

📸 Biei’s Classic Photo Spots | The View from the Car Window is the Scenery Itself Ken & Marry Shirakaba Road drive-by photo op. The open fields and straight roads are some of Hokkaido’s most classic scenes. You can’t help but want to snap a picture as you pass by.

🌊 Shirasu Falls & Shirogane Blue Pond The water of Shirasu Falls cascades down from between the rocks, shrouded in mist in winter. The Shirogane Blue Pond displays a unique blue hue that changes with the weather and light. It’s even more stunning in person than in photos and is an unmissable iconic attraction in Biei.

🌲 Slow Down in the Afternoon Free time at the Forest Elf Terrace or Farm Tomita. A collection of small cabins, coffee shops, and souvenir shops. Stroll around and take photos at your leisure, providing a comfortable end to the day’s itinerary.

Review for: Must-See Hokkaido Day Trip

Masa was an excellent guide! The tour was perfect. I went alone but Masa explained everything perfectly so you won't get lost and get back in time. We managed to get to all the places even with the snowstorm! Thank you Masa and the driver for the wonderful trip 🥰 would recommend the tour!

Review for: Must-See Hokkaido Day Trip

There were many people at the meeting point with different tour guides hence you really need to explore the area to find your guide. Time was also strict hence you need to go back to your bus on the specified time to be able to complete the tour.

This was an amazing experience, Leo was our tour guide and made sure to answer every question we had with ease. We got to do so much during this day and couldn’t recommend this tour more. Asahiyama Zoo you don’t get lots of time there but still can see many animals and still make it in time for the penguin walk. Snowmobiles was our biggest highlight definitely a must do! Leo was very informative and made sure to give us lots of helpful information/facts and even provided local food recommendations at the end of the trip. Thank you!!

I really enjoyed this trip, definitely worth the money. Although we wasn’t able to go to Ningle Terrace 🥲 because of the heavy snow, am still thankful that we had a safe trip coming back to Sapporo despite of the slippery road (kudos to the driver 🙌🏻).Also, thank you very much to Ms. Tracy, our tour guide, she’s very energetic, helpful (she voluntarily took photos during our snowmobiling session & offered to buy us lunch, how thoughtful 🥰) & soooo pretty. 💖

Tour guide 小维 very lively, friendly and helpful. Itinerary quite rush but given the sites to cover, was ok I guess. Rem to bring along snacks to eat (dry food on the bus allowable) if you intend to skip lunch).

Review for: Classic Day Tour

This tour is well worth the money! The destinations are beautiful and picturesque!! Our guide, Christal was energetic and looked out for everyone. I may not speak Mandarin, but she explained the itinerary in English as well. Our driver was also on time, and very safe. One issue on the itinerary is the Herb Garden. nothing really to do if you don’t purchase the lunch.

I had an incredible experience with our tour guide(Leo) in Furano, Hokkaido. From the start, they were not only friendly and approachable but also extremely knowledgeable about the area. His expertise truly enhanced our trip, particularly with their excellent recommendations for local food. A standout highlight was our visit to Tomita Farm, which was absolutely breathtaking. Their insightful commentary and enthusiasm made the whole experience unforgettable. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore Furano with a guide who genuinely cares about providing a memorable experience.

Review for: 經典一日遊(特價每日限量買一送一)

My wife and I participated in a one-day tour on Klook for the first time. We were honored to be served by Chinese and Japanese tour guide Sister Fang Fang, Chinese and English director Mr. Yan, and Japanese driver Mr. Tokai Lin in Sapporo, Hokkaido. The two directors gave us a deeper understanding of Japan, Hokkaido, Sapporo, Farm Tomita, Patchwork Road, and Fairy Terrace. We were also arranged to use restrooms at rest stops along the way, and we were also advised on how to save money for lunch. The director is enthusiastic and professional, and the bus driving is safe and professional. At this price for a one-day tour, I can hardly imagine a better experience. I highly recommend it to travelers who want to visit Sapporo and surrounding attractions! ! ! If you are looking for a tour guide who speaks very standard English, then you can consider looking for other tour groups, but if you are looking for a Chinese-speaking and Japanese-speaking tour guide in Sapporo, Hokkaido, then we only recommend Sister Fangfang to lead the tour! ! !
