Things to do in Ningle Terrace

We are so grateful to have 柳生导游 as our guide! She really went above and beyond throughout the entire trip. We truly feel how passionate and enthusiastic she is about what she does. She explained everything so clearly and shared so many interesting details, tips and little recommendations along the way. It made the whole journey much more enjoyable and helped us understand and appreciate the places we visited so much more. What really stood out was her genuine care for everyone in the group. She was attentive, approachable and always happy to help. It felt like we weren’t just following a tour itinerary, we were being taken care of by someone who genuinely wanted us to have a wonderful experience. A big thank you as well to the tour company for preparing the thoughtful little gifts for us. Such a lovely touch and a beautiful way to end the experience! Thank you 柳生导游 for making our trip so memorable. We truly appreciate all your effort, energy and passion. Highly recommended!

Very well arrange, Jenny the tour guide contact us the day before and explain the itenerary also meeting point, very clear& helpful. Love all the places we visited, enjoy the view very much. Jenny also explained about all places that we visited. Especially love the Blue pond in Biei, Tomica park, Shikisai no oka, Shirahige falls.

wonderful experience with our guide Lucy who is patient, warm and hospitable. she shared many interesting facts about the various sites and Hokkaido in general. we enjoyed the trip more so with her as our guide. the itinerary is good and rather packed but it’s fine as we get to see more places.

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!

Our tour guide, Hana, was always smiling, energetic, and very patient. Even on a one-day tour, she made us feel right at home. Hana thoroughly explained the background of each attraction and recommended delicious local specialties at every stop, such as fruit corn and lavender ice cream. She was also excellent at helping travelers take photos! Hana introduced us to Hokkaido's unique characteristics, local products, and even taught us little tidbits like how to distinguish different grades of cantaloupe. She also shared her personal recommendations for must-try foods in Sapporo, helping visitors to Japan understand Hokkaido better. Even though it rained that day, we still had a wonderful experience.

On August 25, 2026, we met at Exit 31 of Datong Station to join the 11:10 AM tour. We had the pleasure of having Hanna, a very elegant and knowledgeable tour guide, and Mr. Kasai, our driver. Hanna professionally explained the itinerary and provided excellent service throughout the trip. The advantage of departing a bit later was truly great, as we avoided large crowds and rush hour traffic on the way back. We didn't even have to wait in line for dinner. Although the journey was a bit long, it was well worth it for the beautiful scenery. We visited the Blue Pond, the Herb Garden (shopping for lavender products), Shikisai-no-Oka, Farm Tomita, a melon farm, and enjoyed the illuminated Ningle Terrace at Furano Prince Hotel (a nighttime activity). We returned at 9 PM.

This trip took place in early autumn, and I feel this route is best visited in late autumn when the leaves turn orange, or in early winter when it starts to snow. The scenery would be amazing at those times. This is a long, scenic route that would be even more beautiful in the winter.

Alisa was a great guide! Very friendly and helpful! Was stuck in the zoo due to the rain and Alisa went thru the trouble to help me collect my umbrella and send it to us in the zoo! very grateful to what she did! Thumbs up to Alisa!

small tour group with mini-bus. the ride was smooth, syllabus was great and Baku the tour guide was awesome. Baku gave us great tips during the trip (i.e. what to buy at service centre, where to grab lunch at Biei station…). we enjoyed it very much! thx the team for their effort!!!
