I visited with a light heart, thinking that while it was lavender. I was mesmerized by the beautiful hill, perhaps because it was the right time. The beautiful hill weaved with lovely flowers of various colors is worth seeing. It was more impressive than the lavender field, which I considered the main dish.

This is a generic sight seeing tour to see all the major sights in Furano and Biel. The timing provided at each location was short but suffice for the purpose of the tour. I personally appreciated the bus driver taking into consideration our safety and the multilingual commentary during the tour heard through headphones, it was very informative and helps me understand more of the culture and history of Sapporo
Hi, thank you for contributing the review! We are glad to know you enjoyed the tour package, and hope you had a good day in Hokkaido. It turns to be rather tranquil during autumn season, appearing a different view compared with floral summer. It is our pleasure to provide the trip, and thank you again for joining us! Cheers!
This company cancelled on me 2 days before my trip. i only have a 3 day visit to Sapporo and called up to tell me they are full and have to cancel my trip! I paid SGD 106.70 and they only refunded me SGD 105.02. I reckon it could be due to the exchange rates. Totally disarranged my short vacation! So irresponsible.
Hi, thanks for the feedback. We are sorry not to be able to provide you with this tour. We re-confirm customers' booking after receiving instant booking, and for most cases spots can be secured no problem. Occasionally seats are sold out quickly and we follow up with customer to explain the situation, or with alternative options. If eventually nothing can be accomplished, we will have to cancel the tour and make refunds. Hope this clarifies the issue for you. Again thank you for choosing the tour with us, and for your kind understanding on the result.
Really enjoyed this tour. I booked it mostly because I wanted to go to the winery and the blue pond but wasn't sure how to do that as they're both far from Sapporo. I ended up falling in love with Hokkaido - the flowers, the grape vines, the aspen trees, the cooler weather, the gorgeous blue pond.... it was all beautiful! And the tour operator was organized, kept us on schedule, and very visible / easy to spot when we'd stop at a crowded place. The audio was actually pretty good considering it's a recorded tour. It gives a lot of interesting facts about the region, and is presented in a clear, easy to understand voice.
Hi thank you for contributing the review! We hope you had a great time with the tour and got to see beauty of Hokkaido. Bus tour could be a good choice sometimes for places difficult to reach or make joints, and we are glad you made it :-) Also thank you for the feedback on recording and tour organization. We will try to keep up the work and serve travelers well in the future. Cheers!
We really enjoyed seeing the country side of Hokkaido the landscape and flowers were beautiful, the lunch was delicious, the Wine superb and the blue pond was exceptionally memorable. Only drawback was outside excellent audio recording in English the rest was in Japanese once you got off the bus and we were never really sure all of the details where to visit what parts were open to view, we only knew what time to come back. But we still loved it!
Hi, thank you for sharing your experience with us! It is great to see you had good time touring the countryside of Hokkaido, and made it cheerful memory. The openness and grandness of Hokkaido refreshes whom ever get to visit it, and it always embraces old and new friends! :) Regarding the audio guide, we are sorry that it is only broadcast on the bus, and so far our language may not be able to fully accommodate guests especially those looking to all-around detailed explanation. We hope to improve this aspect as time goes by. Again thank you very much for joining us and your support! Cheers
Great guides. Seeing Hokkaido is more about the scenery than history. It was good to be out and about in the fresh air seeing some of Japan's scenery. The tour was well organised.
Hi, thank you for the review! It is getting cool now in Hokkaido and we are glad you made the trip. Thank you for commenting the guide and tour organization, we will keep up the work. Cheers!
This one day tour was excellent, starting from the punctual departure time, delicious hamburg steak for lunch and duration at the spot - just enough time.
Hi, many thanks for writing the review! We are glad to know it turned out to be a nice trip for you, and thank you very much for choosing to join our tour this time. We wish you the best for future travels!
