Passeios por Farm Tomita

We joined a one-day tour with guide Emma. She was full of humor, and since there were Japanese, Chinese, and Filipino speakers on the bus, she patiently repeated everything three times. I've included a photo of Emma walking in the snow from behind. Biei Farm was the most enjoyable stop; we rode snowmobiles. I recommend one per person for a better experience, but this time, the person in front of me was too slow, so I didn't get to experience the thrill of speeding up TT. You must try the milk and ice cream in Biei; they are delicious! However, please note that ice cream is not allowed on the bus. If you bought a tour package with meals, you might not have enough time to finish your ice cream. The only downside of the one-day tour was that we had to leave Asahiyama Zoo before seeing all the animals. The Ningle Terrace was too wet and a bit dirty due to melting snow, and without the lights on, it wasn't very impressive. We should have spent more time at the zoo, haha. If it's not dark yet, you're not interested in cultural and creative products, and you haven't eaten properly all day, I recommend eating directly at the restaurant near Prince Snow Resort instead of going into Ningle Terrace, as the restaurant closes at 3:30 PM.

It was a very nice and senior-friendly experience. Our tour guide, Baste, was very helpful in managing the different nationalities on board. This was such a chill tour — I think I ate the most ice cream I’ve ever had in my life

Our Chinese tour guide, Xiao Zhou, is from Northeast China and is very warm and kind. As it was off-season travel, the overall pace of the trip was just right. The driver was a kind-faced Japanese gentleman. In early October, Shikisai no Oka didn't have lavender, but the rolling flower fields combined with the clear weather were still quite stunning. Furano Farm was slightly less impressive without lavender, but it had many lavender-related souvenirs. On the way back, the guide mentioned that winter in Hokkaido has unpredictable traffic due to snow, with long traffic jams, tired drivers, and a higher risk of accidents. As I prefer a more traditional Chinese approach to health, sitting for long periods isn't ideal. I hope the company can pay more attention to the issue of fatigue driving among older drivers and their physical and mental well-being. Out of the 11 people on the day trip, I was the only one from mainland China, which was similar to my trip to Kyushu in May. Everyone else was young.

私たちは多くの場所を訪れることができました。しかし、スノーモービルは省略し、動物園での時間を延長しても良いと感じました。ガイドのホンさんはとても親切でフレンドリーでした。彼は有名なケン＆メリーの木の貴重な写真を撮るのに十分な時間を与えてくれ、また、私たちが休憩できるようにR&Rにも立ち寄ってくれました！さらに、彼は私たちが訪れる場所の集合時間と地図のメッセージを送ってくれたので、限られた時間を各アトラクションで最大限に活用することができました！

Serina was our tour guide for this trip. She was very kind and helpful in taking our group photo. Just sad not to be able to witness the penguin walk. Note to self for next time: always check schedule online.

We really enjoyed the tour! Everything was great, the itinerary, especially the penguin walk. The bus was comfortable, and of course our tour guide, Vivi, was amazing! She was very kind and accommodating, and she speaks English very well. We will definitely book another tour with Klook again.

Stepping into Farm Tomita in Furano, a gentle purple ocean unfolds before your eyes. Lavender sways softly with the breeze, and the air is filled with a delicate fragrance, as if every breath is healing. As you stroll along the flower fields, sage, marigolds, and cosmos bloom in succession, their colors weaving together into a vibrant tapestry. In the distance, the Tokachi Mountains quietly guard this sea of flowers, and beneath the blue sky and white clouds, everything appears so serene and magnificent. Standing on the observation deck overlooking the entire farm, only admiration and emotion remain in your heart. Farm Tomita is not just a visual feast; it's like a warm summer poem, making you want to keep this beauty in your heart, reluctant to leave for a long time.

We had an amazing experience on this tour. Even though we weren’t able to visit Ningle Terrace due to the tight schedule caused by the snowstorm, the rest of the tour was still incredibly enjoyable and well worth it. The snowmobile experience was definitely a highlight, and everything was organized smoothly despite the weather challenges. Huge thanks to our tour guide, Alex, who was very helpful, accommodating, and made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the trip. Overall, it was a memorable winter adventure, and we truly appreciated how well the tour was managed despite the unexpected weather. Highly recommended!
