Ting å gjøre i Shirahige Falls

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.

We joined a one-day tour in Furano, and the itinerary was incredibly smooth throughout the day. Although there were many attractions and the pace was a bit fast, we had enough time at each location for photos and food, so the scheduling was perfectly fine. Before the trip, I saw some reviews mentioning that people might get hungry, but actually, there was food available for purchase at every stop along the way. Hokkaido's white corn was super sweet, the melon bread was fragrant and soft, and the croquettes were also delicious, so there was absolutely no need to worry about going hungry. Special praise goes to our tour guide, Chillin! The group included foreigners, Japanese, Chinese, and Hong Kongers, and she was able to communicate with everyone in their respective languages. Her explanations were clear and friendly, which created a wonderful atmosphere for the entire group. The luckiest part was that everyone in the group was incredibly punctual, so the timing at each stop was perfectly managed, with no delays at all. Our guide also gave us tips at each attraction on which souvenirs were worth buying, which were inexpensive, and which offered good value for money, which was very practical for those who struggle with shopping! Overall, this tour offered great value for money and is highly recommended for anyone who wants to visit multiple classic attractions in one day.

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!!!

Været var flott på turen, og det var ikke mange turister, så vi kunne utforske og ta bilder i fred. Landskapet var også veldig vakkert. Guiden, Xiao Dong, anbefalte lokal mais som var utrolig søt. Jeg valgte ikke å delta på "spis så mye du vil"-melonbuffeten, men det var mulig å kjøpe enkeltstykker av melonen, så jeg følte at et par skiver var nok til å smake. Hvis du vil prøve is med lavendel- og melonsmak, trenger du ikke å velge – Farm Tomita har blandede smaker, slik at du kan prøve begge på en gang. Tidsplanen for hele turen var perfekt, med nok tid til å utforske og ta bilder uten at det ble for travelt. Det var rikelig med pauser, og både bussen og områdene rundt attraksjonene var veldig rene. Guiden, Xiao Dong, var også veldig entusiastisk og fortalte oss om lokale snacks og produkter, samt hvor vi kunne kjøpe ting til en god pris.

Reiseleder Lucy ga detaljerte forklaringer på kinesisk, engelsk og japansk om reiseruten, kulturen og historien til Hokkaido. Innholdet var rikt og levende, og man kunne føle hennes engasjement, noe som gjorde hele turen veldig hyggelig. Sjåføren hadde utmerkede kjøreferdigheter, og kombinerte god hastighet med sikkerhet, noe som ga en trygg følelse. Det var litt synd at noen gruppemedlemmer var forsinket, noe som forsinket reiseplanen og førte til at vi ikke fikk kjøpt den blå isen til slutt. Den omtrent 4 timer lange minibussturen tur-retur var ganske lang, og det å sitte så lenge gjorde at korsryggen og hoftene ble litt numne og ubehagelige. Alt i alt, hvis man ønsker å oppleve severdighetene i Furano og Biei-området raskt innenfor en begrenset tidsramme, er denne turen fortsatt et godt valg. Den anbefales spesielt for de som besøker Hokkaido for første gang og ønsker å se flere steder på én gang.

Leo is amazing! He is very knowledgeable and direct to the point. He is very fluent in 3 languages and give directions in all three so no one is left behind. Can you believe that we actually left on time in all stops? Whenever we passed him after getting off the bus, he swtiches to english and remind us about the instructions and switch to another language when another tourist passes him by. He is excellent! We also got to our destinations before everyone elses. He also offered assistance and explanations when needed. very happy with this tour! We recommend Leo very much!

Det var min første gang i Hokkaido, og jeg var alene med begrenset bevegelsesfrihet, så jeg var litt engstelig. Men jeg fant en plan som oppfylte mine ønsker, og deltok på en tur for første gang! Jeg var litt usikker på at guiden og sjåføren var utlendinger, men de ga forklaringer og veiledning på både japansk og fremmedspråk på en veldig hyggelig måte! I dyrehagen var det akkurat nok tid til å se seg rundt, men ikke nok tid til å spise lunsj. Jeg tenkte kanskje 30 minutter ekstra hadde vært fint. Og jeg lurte på om jeg hadde fått sett hovedattraksjonene hvis jeg hadde gått inn via hovedporten, men alt i alt var det gøy å se mange dyr som er unike for Hokkaido! Seven Star Tree og Patchwork Road var også veldig fine! På Farm Tomita var det mange turister, og jeg fikk ikke spist melon som suvenir, så jeg skulle gjerne hatt litt mer tid. Men jeg er takknemlig og hadde det gøy med å bli vist mange steder jeg ikke ville ha klart å besøke alene. Tusen takk!

Everything was excellent and punctual. Our guide, Mr. Joe, was welcoming and attentive, providing great explanations and recommendations. The melon was sweet and delicious, and the view of the flower fields was spectacular. We were also very lucky to have good weather with no rain.

A day trip where you don't have to wake up early is fantastic! It's wonderful to visit all the desired attractions without having to arrange transportation. The tour guide was excellent at organizing everything and provided very detailed explanations! The group members were punctual, which made the entire trip very smooth!
