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! ❤️✨

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!

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

A well-designed itinerary that allows just enough time to enjoy each destination without feeling too rushed. Our wonderful guide James speak three languages including Chinese and English. He's very attentive and helpful. The lavender is already gone in late September but the other flowers are still in bloom. 100% recommended!

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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The one-day tour itinerary is very well-planned, starting with the zoo and then heading south to check out various attractions along the way. The water at Shirahane Pond makes for great photos, and a 20-minute stop is plenty of time without lingering long enough to cause visual fatigue.

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!

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!

What to know before visiting Asahikawa
What to do in Asahikawa
Asahikawa is best known for guided Tours, followed by Attraction passes and Outdoor & sports activities, reflecting how travellers book throughout the year. Klook booking data shows Visits and activities spike in January and again in December, while summer months from May through September are much quieter. Expect winter-focused experiences and outdoor day trips to lead the agenda when demand peaks. Decide whether you want winter spectacle or quieter exploration — Klook booking data helps you match activities to the season and avoid crowds when you prefer a low-key visit.
When to visit Asahikawa
Demand peaks in January and is also high in December, while July is the quietest month; Klook booking data records January as the busiest month and July as the trough. Prices across the year are fairly stable but show a low in July and a peak around September, so the busiest months and priciest month do not exactly coincide. For lower prices and much smaller crowds choose July or other summer months; for peak-season atmosphere pick January or December when demand is strongest.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Peak demand | SGD 67 |
| February | Peak demand | SGD 75 |
| March | About average | SGD 73 |

Tips for travellers from Singapore
Most travellers from Singapore typically lock in experiences about 11 days ahead, with the earliest planners booking roughly 30 days out—Klook booking data. That means you can be flexible and often book a few days before travel, but planning about a week to two in advance gives peace of mind; during January and December it pays to secure popular activities earlier. Klook makes it easy to compare options and book confirmed slots, so pick dates that match your season preference and reserve the must-do experiences ahead of time.
