Asahiyama Zoo & Farm Tomita heldags naturtur

Reiseplanen var god, og dette er en fin tur å ta på en gang, inkludert dyrehagen. Det var fint at vi bare trengte å holde oss til busstidene. Det var en høy andel japanske turister. Tiden i dyrehagen, inkludert lunsj, var ikke lang, men siden det ikke var overfylt, fikk vi nyte alt. Vi fikk også hvile og kose oss ved Den blå dammen og Farm Tomita. Hvis det er sommer, vil isen (anbefaler meny nr. 1) som selges på veien til Den blå dammen, sannsynligvis være et minne som varer lenge. Det er ingen koreansk støtte, og guiden snakker ikke skikkelig engelsk, men det var ikke noe problem. På veien tilbake stoppet bussen tre steder: Sapporo stasjon, Odori-parken og Susukino, noe som var praktisk for kveldsreisen.

It’s so important to arrange the transportation in Hokkaido if you are not driving. Joining this day trip is definitely worthy since you don’t have to worry about the transportation from Sapporo to Asahiyama and Biei. Although the tour guide spoke mainly Japanese, the instruction on waiting time was still very clear.

I enjoyed the time so much and it was worth it. The snow is very beautiful tho it was so cold. The travel time was tiring but overall ut was worth it!

負責接待的導遊小姐和遊覽車司機都很親切，在飯店大廳集合報到後，導遊會提醒車程較遠，可以先上洗手間和去便利商店準備點心。同行的有日本人也有外國人，但導遊的解說都是日文的。每次下車時都會在小白板上寫發車時間。整體來說旅程是愉快的，因為一天內遊覽了動物園、白金瀑布和點燈的青池，但真的要有心理準備乘車時間很長，車上暖氣很強，記得穿好穿脫的衣服。

The zoo probably be more interesting during non winter time as lot of the animals went into hiding. The penguin parade was short but they were so cute. Needless to say the Shirahige waterfall and blue pond were so beautiful at night. The trip is a must try especially it didn’t start till 1030am, we could sleep in longer 😀.

Fuss free purchase and it was much convenient than queuing and purchasing the Zoo tickets off the counter since this was part of the tour's itinerary. Transportation around the area was good overall as it takes us to the places we needed to see. Even though the klook activity mentioned that there were English translation, I could feel that the translator for the one speaking in English/Mandarin was just reading her script of paper with really brief sentences. We know that the main tour guide which was the guy was speaking and explaining alot in Japanese but the English/Mandarin speaking female translator barely translated anything the main tour guide said. Information provided was only basic. Luckily the main Japanese translator was friendly and communicated the timing etc well to us on the white board. To us, the female translator isn't doing that much.

The Asahiyama Zoo, Blue Pond, and Farm Tomita day tour was an unforgettable experience. Starting with the Asahiyama Zoo, we were captivated by the cute penguins and winter animals and the opportunity to witness their natural behaviors up close. The Blue Pond's serene beauty left us in awe with its striking blue hues and picturesque surroundings. Finally, Farm Tomita delighted our senses with its vibrant fields of blooming flowers, creating a stunning landscape. This tour combined wildlife, natural wonders, and scenic beauty, making it a great experience for all travellers.

Generally a well-organised day trip. Driver picked up us on time. The tour guide only speaks Japanese, but the gathering time was well written on a white board. If weather is good, you can even catch the sight of Hidaka Sanmyaku (snow mountains) on your left on the way to zoo. Time allocated at each destinations was OK. Might be a little rush at zoo if you planned to take your lunch there, but you can bring your own lunch or get them from the rest station where they stopped for a break. Arrived at Sapporo 1 hour ++ later than the estimated time, but it was probably due to weather. Overall it is still recommend if you only need the transportation to each destinations.

itinerary was well planned with sufficient time to explore the areas and take pictures. our guide was japanese speaking but she informed us about the bus departure time in english, which was very thoughtful of her. overall a pleasant experience.

Tour sehari yang menyenangkan, meeting point yang mudah dijangkau dari hotel tempat kami tinggal, bus cukup nyaman dengan perjalanan yang cukup jauh. Asahiyama Zoo bagus untuk dikunjungi, banyak koleksi hewan yang tidak biasa kami lihat sebelumnya. Blue Pond sangat indah, lokasi ditempuh dengan berjalan kaki melalui salju.
