The trip was enjoyable with the guide Hikari, who introduced many local Hokkaido specialties to us and others on the bus. He was quite friendly and genuine. We managed to reach all destinations on time and returned by 6 PM. The only regret is that the penguin parade was canceled, and there were only a few animals in the zoo. However, the polar bear and snow leopard were the highlights.

Our guide, Ms. Lisa, was fantastic—very knowledgeable about the places, and incredibly kind, cheerful, and warm. We truly enjoyed the tour. We just wish we had more time at Blue Pond, as it felt a bit short and we wanted to fully appreciate the views and nature. Overall, this is one of the best tours we’ve booked. We can’t wait to come back for the summer Furano lavender field tour!

We had an amazing experience on this trip and my family was extremely satisfied. There were four of us, including two young children aged 6 and 4, and everything went very smoothly.
Our tour guide, Xixi, was incredibly helpful and attentive. We traveled in a Hiace with a very skilled driver, which made the journey comfortable and enjoyable.
Xixi was also very informative and thoughtful. She informed us about halal food options even before we asked, which we really appreciated.
Thank you for making our first family trip to Furano such a memorable and wonderful experience. Highly recommended!

The tourguide is very easy to speak with and has patience even though other people are not going back to the bus on time. I had a great tour. I would recommend this tour to explore the famous spots in Hokkaido.

Rita is a beautiful, kind, friendly, lively, cute, and generous tour guide 😊. She is very professional and dedicated 👍. From the gathering point to the end of the tour, she explains every detail, including considerations for safety in rainy and snowy weather and the surrounding environment, very clearly and understandably. She also introduces the excellent and dedicated driver 😊 and the members of the zoo (penguins/bears/wolves/lions/tigers... their daily habits) and the characteristics and origins of each attraction... She is proficient in (Chinese, English, and Japanese), giving explanations in each language 👍. Her tone is clear and bright, and her smile is sweet and endearing. She deserves praise 👍. Rita is the best tour guide I've ever met.
