What to expect
【Asahiyama Zoo】 Asahiyama Zoo is a highly renowned northern zoo in Japan, characterized by its displays of animals’ natural behaviors. Every winter, the zoo hosts a penguin parade in the snow, where groups of penguins stroll across the snowy plains. Visitors can also observe polar bears, seals, and other Arctic creatures up close, making it an incredibly charming and unmissable animal viewing destination in Hokkaido during winter.
【Biei Christmas Tree】 A single spruce tree stands alone on Biei’s vast snowy plains, named for its resemblance to a Christmas tree. With the rolling hills covered in a blanket of white snow, this solitary tree stands proudly in the silver-white wilderness. Its simple and clean snowy landscape makes it an iconic photo spot in Biei during winter.
【Shikisai no Oka】 Shikisai no Oka boasts a sprawling 15-hectare hilly area. After shedding its vibrant summer flower fields, it becomes completely covered in pristine white snow in winter. The undulating snowy plains are vast and expansive. Visitors can experience snowmobiling at their own expense, racing across the northern snowfields and enjoying a completely different kind of snow fun compared to summer.
【Ningle Terrace】 Nestled in the Furano forest, Ningle Terrace is a cluster of log cabins. In winter, the forest trees and cabin roofs are covered with thick snow. Wooden boardwalks wind through the woods, and the cabins display various local handicrafts. Strolling through, one can feel the tranquil atmosphere of the forest.












Reviews
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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My guide, jenny, was a lovely and informative guide. she shares valuable information of each stop and on top of that, places to visit and ongoing festivals in sapporo. The timing for each stop was just nice during this trip. Side note: In late may, there's only tulips, canola and lavender at the shinkisai no oka, the farm is quite bare. However, at tomita farm, it was blooming with flowers, lavender and shibazakura. The blue pond soda ice cream and lavender ice cream at farm tomita were my ice cream picks. The melon at furano herb garden(lunch place) was sweeter than the one at farm tomita. For merchandise, the lavender horse oil recommended by Jenny was really moisturising for this dry and cold weather. This is my first klook trip. Good experience so far~
Wonderful tour! Got to visit beautiful places! Our guide Jenny was excellent. She was kind, got us into each place quickly, showed us options and directions, and explained some of the history and pertinent info before arriving. Would definitely recommend this tour!
i love the tour furano, blue pond,shirahige falls and tomita farm 👍👍, our guide eric is very accomodating and helpful..tulip and other flowers are beautiful..we got to see the alps covered with snow😍😍
Kevin, who speaks Chinese, English, and Japanese (impressive!), gave us a thorough overview of Hokkaido's fishing and agriculture industries. He also thoughtfully recommended various excellent products and local specialties worth buying. Although the weather wasn't great and it wasn't yet flower season in May, he prepared us for it. Seeing the Shirogane Blue Pond shrouded in mist was quite stunning, almost like a traditional Chinese painting. I highly recommend the lavender soft-serve ice cream from Herb Garden Furano; the milk and lavender flavors blend perfectly without any soapy taste. If you prefer something sweet and tart, you can try the Blue Pond Soda ice cream, which also looks beautiful in photos with its blue color.
We really loved this tour, although it’s a long drive going there but it’s all worth it. We loved seeing the live Penguins from Asahiyama Zoo, the Snowmobile experience was the best!!!! The lone Christmas Tree is sooo aesthetically nice and lastly the Nigle Terrace was beautiful especially at night. I wish we had more time. Thanks klook!
Traveling independently in Hokkaido and booking a Klook tour was incredibly convenient. Our guide, Mr. HIKARU, not only sent a notification the day before, but he also led the tour exceptionally well on June 19th. He provided commentary in Chinese, English, and Japanese, making it suitable for participants from various countries. He introduced us to Biei, Furano, the Blue Pond, and Farm Tomita. When it unexpectedly rained in the afternoon at Farm Tomita, and we didn't have umbrellas, our guide even personally escorted each of us back to the car. He is truly an excellent guide with extensive travel experience. A fantastic guide indeed!
The tour was worthy for tourists without driving. It covered spots that you won't be able to connect in one day with only public transportation. The tour guide Jenny was informative, responsible and nice, who was genous to share and able to guide the >40 peoples tour well and end the tour on time.
amazing guide - informative, unique and fun. smooth travelling. beautiful weather and nature. we didn’t visit during peak season for the flowers to bloom but the furano area was still very beautiful. Alpaca’s were cute, please feed them. great food options in most stops (especially for ice cream).
Jenny our multilingual and English proficient Tour guide is fantastic! Kudos to her enthusiasm having constantly whatsapping me for updates a day before the tour knowing I'm a tourist with a senior citizen mom and a nephew I tag with me in this trip . Jenny has a complete mastery of the places we have been and made sure everything is in order so we all enjoyed this trip despite the bareness of the flowerfarms the frost of winter is still on the wraps! Nobody's fault ... Overall we enjoyed this tour very much. thanks klook and thanks sonmuch Jenny
