Fantastic 5.0
Our tour guide, Lucy, was very professional and provided us with a lot of different information. Although our departure was delayed due to a restaurant issue during lunch, Lucy did her best to help us catch up on the itinerary, ensuring that our time visiting the flower fields and other attractions was not reduced. That was fantastic! Also, I had read reviews saying that by the time the tour reached Farm Tomita, the farm would already be closed. However, Lucy specially adjusted the itinerary, taking us to Farm Tomita first, then to Shikisai-no-Oka, Aoiike (Blue Pond), and Shirogane Falls. This allowed us to enjoy cantaloupe and lavender ice cream at Farm Tomita. The arrangements were incredibly flexible! I originally joined this day tour just for the convenience of transportation, but thanks to Lucy, I also learned about Hokkaido's history, culture, cuisine, and more. This was the best day tour I've ever taken! Thank you, Lucy!

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!

This one is really a value for money, you will be able to tour a lot of gems in Biei/Furano area in a day. The tour guide is very accommodating, even though she is not that fluent in English she is trying her very best to translate it.

All activities & scenic spot completed with good meals provided. All of us are enjoying so much with the 2 days 1 night trip. Unfortunate due to bird flu, the zoo cancel penguin parade, however, we still able to take some photo with those cute penguins. Ice drifting is the most excited activity among all, luckily we managed to experience it.

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!

What to know before visiting Asahikawa

Quick snapshot of Asahikawa and what to expect

Asahikawa draws most bookings for tours, attraction passes and outdoor activities, with demand swinging strongly through the year. Klook data show a clear high season in winter and much quieter months in mid-summer, so the city’s rhythm is very seasonal.

Best times to go and how prices move

The busiest month is January, while demand drops to its lowest in July. According to Klook booking data, July also tends to offer the lowest activity prices, and September appears among the priciest months — prices rise from the July low into early autumn. If you want smaller crowds and generally lower prices, aim for July or the surrounding summer months; for the peak-season atmosphere and winter experiences, plan for January when demand is highest. Overall, demand and prices mostly align here: quieter summer months are also the most budget-friendly, while busier months see higher typical prices.

Tips for travellers from Singapore

Most travellers from Singapore typically book activities around 11 days in advance, so plan your must-do experiences a couple of weeks before departure—especially for travel in January. For flexible trips, many experiences remain available with short notice, but locking in key tours and passes on Klook ahead of time gives you more certainty and access to popular time slots.
