Had a wonderful day trip to Biei and Furano! 🍂🇯🇵 Big thanks to Lucy for the great tour arrangements and friendly service, and to the drivers for being punctual, professional and driving safely. Everything went smoothly, and we had an amazing time exploring Hokkaido’s beautiful scenery. Highly recommended! ❤️✨

The tour was excellent! We visited many places. Even though there were only 4 of us, we had a small car, like an Alphard, which felt like a private tour. The driver was very helpful, communicated well, was polite, and always smiling. We got to see everything on the itinerary, plus they added Tomita Farm and a herb garden for us. The time spent at each stop was just right, and the weather was great. Everything went smoothly and comfortably. I highly recommend it!

Decided to go with Klook for this full day tour to the Asahiyama zoo, patchwork road(Ken & Mary tree), Blue pond, waterfall and elves village.. was pretty fulfilling but its a bit rushed no doubt. But we get to experience the beauty of the blue pond and waterfall w/o worrying about the transport. Guide was pretty friendly and was our photographer for the group pics! Totally would recommend this to all 1st timers in Hokkaido!

The tour was excellent and the best thing is our tour guide, Andy was able to escape us from long queue on lunch and other attractions because his timing was perfect. The places we visited are all beautiful adding in that the sky was clear. VERY WELL RECOMMENDED to do while you are in Hokkaido. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

experienced snow for october. and the temperature dropped 1.5 degrees, layered clothing is advisable. easy to find both the tour guide and bus. cissy can speak 3 languages 🫡English, Mandarin, and Japanese. our driver was fantastic. the places are awesome when covered with snow. to be better -a little information such as feeding time of the animals can be added

The itinerary was very smooth! The two meeting points in Sapporo were convenient, two hours at Asahiyama Zoo was just right for a leisurely stroll, we checked off the Shirahige Waterfall and Shirogane Blue Pond along the way, the Ningle Terrace was truly stunning, and the drop-off time wasn't too late either. Very satisfied!

An unforgettable trip! Our guide Hong was incredibly knowledgeable about Hokkaido and Ainu culture, and his multilingual skills were impressive. The itinerary was seamless and well-organized. The Blue Pond, Shikisai-no-Oka, and Farm Tomita were absolute highlights. Highly recommended!

Kudos to Ms. Tracy (tour guide) and our driver for Nov 2, 2026 tour. Ms. Tracy is the kindest, most accommodating guide I Have encountered using klook. Our driver is also superb very smooth driving. This tour is value for money considering the number of places we’ve been through. I suggest though you bring your own snacks etc since you wont ne able to eat at a resto due to time constraint.

Highly recommend tour guide Hikaru! The entire day's itinerary was well-paced and thoughtful, with engaging and humorous commentary on the bus. The tour group consisted of people from various countries, and he patiently explained everything in Mandarin, English, and Japanese. From the Ningle Terrace, Shikisai-no-Oka, and the Lone Christmas Tree, all the way to the Shirahige Waterfall and the magically illuminated Shirogane Blue Pond, the scenery was breathtakingly beautiful. Having Hikaru lead the tour made it both worry-free and thoroughly enjoyable. A five-star recommendation with high praise!
