Passeios por Hinode Park

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.

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.

小安 was patient and thorough in her explanation. Although she’s new to the position, she tried her very best and even bought all group members a little souvenir. She gave special attention to only English-speaking customers.

The itinerary was rich and compact, and our guide Oscar was very friendly, explaining the characteristics of the attractions throughout the trip. The scenery of Furano and Biei in late September was still attractive! I will definitely participate again if I have the chance!

If I could give 10 stars to Joe and the driver, I absolutely would. I’ve been on many tours in Japan and in other countries, but Joe and the driver are on another level when it comes to taking care of their guests. Joe is incredibly kind, very informative, and always made sure we were satisfied — from the tour experience to the food. He really goes the extra mile to ensure everyone is comfortable and happy. The lunch was super delicious too! Truly a 10-star experience. Highly recommended!

The itinerary was great. We were able to cover a lot of beautiful tourist spots with comfort and ease. Tip: bring a lot of food and snacks because there won’t be time alloted for meals. We were allowed to eat inside the bus, we just had to manage our trash. Our tour guide Oliver was also great. They sent an e-mail the night before the tour for reminders. The meeting spot was easy to find. We went with our two year old toddler. We brought a stroller and the company asked for additional 1,500 yen fee for bringing the stroller which was charged on the day of the tour. Also, children were not allowed to ride the snow mobile so we had no choice but to wait for the others and play in the snow instead. Overall, we had a lot of fun and made beautiful memories.

It was cloudy until morning and cold enough to see our breath because it rained the night before the tour. However, thanks to our self-proclaimed weather fairy guide, Jeon Ara, we were able to see Mount Fuji on the way back to Tokyo. It was a breathtaking view that we encountered after a long wait, making for an even more pleasant end to our trip 🗻. It was great that Guide Jeon Ara adjusted the itinerary according to the weather and on-site conditions, rather than sticking to the planned order. We were also grateful for her recommendations for delicious snacks at each location and her accurate guidance and explanations 💗. I realized that seeing Mount Fuji is more difficult than expected and requires a lot of luck (😅). Since the temperature is about 5 degrees lower than in downtown Tokyo, the cherry blossoms will be in full bloom and the weather will be warmer until late April, so it would be a good time to visit in April 🌸.
