Despite the heavy rain, we still had a wonderful time. Farm Tomita was absolutely beautiful, and the kids had a great time at the zoo. Rita was an excellent tour guide—warm, friendly, and always ready with a smile. She answered all our questions and made the experience even more enjoyable.

The leader of this trip was Rita from JRT. Rita is a very enthusiastic Taiwanese who has lived in Sapporo for 7 years. She speaks authentic Japanese and can easily help us solve problems. This trip was very fulfilling. We went to the zoo, Biei Blue Pond, and Farm Tomita. The only pity was that it rained heavily, but Rita was able to control the time very well. When she returned to Sapporo, she would also recommend what to eat and buy in the area. It was awesome 👍🏻

The one-day tour took a bus to Farm Tomita, Biei Blue Pond and Asahikawa Zoo, which was very efficient and convenient for non-self-driving tourists. The stay time at each attraction was just right, and the itinerary was well controlled without encountering serious traffic jams (Saturday at the end of June)
