Passeio de um dia em Hokkaido | Shikisai no Oka & Fazenda Tomita & Zoológico Asahiyama & Terraço Ningle | Partida de Sapporo

I wanted to visit a quiet farming village in Hokkaido, not a big city like Sapporo, because agriculture is so developed there. We gathered in front of Exit 31 of Odori Station at 7:35 AM, departed for Sapporo Station around 7:50 AM, and returned to Odori Station at 6:00 PM after the tour. - We were lucky to have two handsome young male guides who translated for us once in English and again in Korean, so we unintentionally got to practice our English. - We heard explanations about the Patchwork Road while driving, without getting off the bus. - Shikisai-no-Oka (Shikisai Hill) is a large, well-maintained flower garden where photos turn out fantastically. You don't necessarily need to ride the tourist train connected to a tractor; you can enjoy the beautiful scenery by walking. The highlight was the white corn eaten raw and the yellow corn eaten steamed. Perhaps because the latitude is similar to Minnesota in the US, the taste was similar to Minnesota corn, but honestly, Hokkaido corn had larger kernels and more moisture, making it crunchier and more delicious. Eating white corn raw was truly an amazing experience. And the potato croquettes were the best I've ever had. - Aoiike, known as the Blue Pond, was pure fantasy. The dreamlike blue color of the water is surprisingly due to the sulfur content in the nearby hot spring water. You must take a commemorative photo with blue ice cream. - Shirogane Falls, just a 5-minute walk away, also exceeded expectations. Listening to the sound of the waterfall in the video made my heart feel refreshed. - We had lunch on the second floor of the Furano rest stop, and the beef bowl was delicious. It was great to be able to try sample products directly at the lavender product store on the first floor. - The last place we visited was Farm Tomita. This farm also has Shikisai's flower fields, and it would be wonderful to visit in June or July when the lavender is in full bloom. Unfortunately, when I went in August, the lavender had already been harvested. However, the cheesecake made with Hokkaido milk at the cafe there was incredibly smooth and had a rich cheese flavor that made it my all-time favorite. You really won't regret it. Even my picky older sister raved about it.

I traveled alone and visited other places well, but I was worried about getting around the Biei and Furano areas. So I looked into tours and found one with a Korean-speaking guide, a good itinerary, and positive reviews, so I booked it! First of all, both guides, Andy and Jun, explained things well, gave recommendations, and led us kindly. I especially liked that Jun, the Korean-speaking guide, continuously looked after me and chatted with me :) And I love taking photos, and the weather was so good that all the pictures turned out great. It was a very happy tour. I plan to come back in winter and will use this tour again, haha.

This was an amazing experience! Lucy was a great tour guide- punctual, organized, knowledgeable, and friendly. She broke down our itinerary in a step by step fashion and highlighted must-try items along the way. We had plenty of time to explore, take in views, and souvenir shop without feeling rushed. The flower fields were in full bloom in August and we got to sample fresh melon & fresh white corn, as well as melon, lavender, and milk soft serve flavors. If Lucy is your tour guide you’ll be in great hands and will be sure to have a magical trip!

This 1-day tour from Sapporo covered most attractions in the Furano area. From views of the Patchwork Road, to the vast flower farms of Shikisai-no-Oka, onto the tranquil Shirogane Blue Pond, then go on the overhead bridge to view the Shirahige Waterfall. Lunch was at a restaurant at Furano, which was crowded as many tour groups were also there having their lunch. The last venue was Farm Tomita. It was peak lavendar season and you can smell the scent of lavendar flowers as you walk past them. The lavendar and melon soft cream was nice and a must-try. The tour guide Mr Hikaru was jovail and he made the whole bus journey fun and relaxing. We reached back Sapporo central bus station around 7pm, in time for dinner.

Biei ve Furano'daki turistik yerleri bir gün içinde ziyaret etmenin uygun fiyatlı ve rahat bir yolu. Tur rehberi James ve şoför işlerinde mükemmeldi. Çeşitli cazibe merkezi bilgileri ve alışveriş ipuçları paylaşmanın yanı sıra, James öğle yemeğimizi önceden sipariş etmemize ve herkesin restoranda öğle yemeği siparişini almasını sağlamak için fazladan çaba sarf etti. Şiddetle tavsiye edilen bir tur!!!

Our tour guide James was wonderful, and it was so impressive to hear him say everything in three languages. He ran everything really well and had shared a lot about the places we visited. I got to feed the alpacas at Shikisai no oka which was an absolute highlight. The colourful flower fields were just beginning to bloom so it wasn't as colourful as it could have been, but I didn't mind and the fields and countryside were still breathtaking. The lavender at Tomita farm was gorgeous, just an absolute sea of it! And the lavender ice cream there was the best ice cream I've ever had. Overall it was a great trip and great value for the cost. It was hard not to feel a little rushed at times, but that's pretty much unavoidable to see everything in a day, and it was so much more convenient than having to figure out public transit.

Such an amazing tour with Sunny who took care of us right from the start, having a fair seating arrangement plan. We also avoided massive tour crowds at each stop with his planning and got great shots of lavender at each location. Would def rec going on Sunny's tour group again!

It may not be flower seasons (in full bloom) yet but the experience is still amazing and so memorable! Beautiful fields, blue pond, and mesmerizing waterfalls. Feels like being transported in movie scenes. The lavender farm in Tomita is such a highlight too. As a lavender fan, I really enjoyed seeing the garden and tasting the ice cream! So creamy and good. Loved the lavender oils and body lotion too. Our guide Kevin was very kind and knowledgable. Highly recommending this tour!

Tuvimos una inolvidable excursión de un día de invierno en Hokkaido, llena de momentos mágicos y aventura. Nuestro día comenzó en el Zoológico de Asahiyama en Asahikawa, donde vimos el famoso paseo de pingüinos. Ver a los pingüinos pasar caminando junto a nosotros en la nieve fue una experiencia tan conmovedora y única. El entorno nevado lo hizo aún más especial. Lo siguiente fue el motonieve, que fue un punto culminante absoluto. Recorrer amplios campos cubiertos de nieve, rodeados de impresionantes paisajes invernales, fue emocionante e impresionante a la vez. Fue la mezcla perfecta de diversión y hermosas vistas. Luego visitamos Furano para ver el icónico árbol de Navidad de pie solo en un campo blanco. Su simplicidad contra la nieve lo hizo pacífico y perfecto para una foto. Nuestra última parada fue Ningle Terrace, que se sintió como entrar en un cuento de hadas. Las cabañas de madera iluminadas y los senderos nevados crearon una atmósfera tan acogedora. Un gran agradecimiento a nuestra guía, Serina, quien fue amable, organizada e hizo que todo el día fuera tranquilo y agradable. ¡Altamente recomendado!

Overall, it was a good experience! Bit sad that the flowers were not in bloom but seeing a lot of greenery was a vibe in itself. The food at Herb Garden was a bit mid and overpriced compared to some local eats within Sapporo but recommend the Lavender ice cream! Kevin was a wonderful guide who kindly explained the background behind each destination we went to. I wish we had more time at Farm Toyota so that we could explore the melon factory but still at least we could fit in a lot of places in one day!!
