The views were indeed amazing. Farm Tomita is a must. We had so much ice cream!. My take: the melon soft serve was better than the lavender. Don't miss out on the cheese factory! Ningle Terrace was quaint and cute. There was one guide - and he spoke Japanese. The other one was NOT a guide. She was a translator for Chinese and English. So we really didn't know what was going on as she would just tell us when to get off the bus, where we were, and what time to return. I was quite envious of the Japanese speakers as the GUIDE had a long explanation on history of Sapporo (which I got from context clues) and all the areas we went to. Lunch was okay. Is the tour value for money? Yes it is. Did I wish it was better, yes I did.

The tour had two guides to cater for Japanese and English/Mandarin speakers on the tour. We did not feel too rushed and appreciated tips that tour guide gave on good lunch spots at the zoo. The tour ended at 530pm and not too late with 3 drop off options at Sapporo station, Odori and Susukino. Very convenient. Thank you for a memorable and enjoyable day !

The tour is an excellent introduction to Hokkaido. Great view as we travelled along and the stops were enjoyable. Even though the tour is promoted as an English speaking guide the tour is done in Japanese. The guide told this at the start of the day but we expected to have a commentary in English. Otherwise the guide was helpful and provided directions at each stop. Highly recommended

Sapporo is such a magical place to visit! We took JR trains, subways and buses a lot, but for places such as the zoo and countryside, others means of transportation are needed. We booked the TripAdvisor tour online, it was easy and fast, and the experience was wonderful! The zoo was very special, a must see in Hokkaido! The only pity is that flowers are not blooming yet, but the bus did meander through the roads by the fields, still very impressive! The crew members were professional and efficient.

If you speak Japanese, I'm sure this is a wonderful activity because the main tour guide did not stop talking all day. However, if you don't, the tour is merely return transport from the city to the countryside; the "English speaking" guide barely spoke a word of English and spoke VERY rarely. Also, do your own research about what flowers are actually in bloom, if any.

Much of the time was travelling on the bus and it was very rushed. There were no flowers to see at Farm Tomita or Furano and many of the huts at Ningle Terrace was closed when we got there. Only interesting experience was the zoo. Tour was suppose to have explanations in English but unfortunately it was only to give short instructions

The entire experience, including the lake, the ride on the pirate ship, the ropeway to the top and the views of the sulphurous emissions, along with the unique black eggs, at Owakudani is one to relish!

This is not a tour it is a drop off and pick up with a be to box lunch you eat on the bus provided . We chose english speaking guide , to discover she didn’t even have the most basic of english . All ‘commands ‘ were written on paper or put into google translate . She could not answer basic questions we were given a pre recorded few lines ahead of each stop , again basic info plus a time to return and a map. It definitely was not what we expecting or paid for the parks themselves were lovely . We only wished to see the flower park and there is trains to this . Wish we did that . I cannot recommend and would almost consider asking for money back it was that bad . I have never had a trip so bad

Easiest way to see Ashikaga and Hitachi seaside Park. Ayumi; our tour guide, was friendly and Yama-san; our driver, is also kind.

While this tour is entirely in japanese, the hosts went above an beyond expectations to keep those of us with limited or no language included and made certain we knew what was happening next. The sights were well worth the drive and even though it was cold and rainy, the colors still popped vibrantly.

The tour guide was great and the whole experience was just perfect from beginning to end. I would highly recommend it

Close up voews of monkeys playing, preening each other, bathing in onsen. While you have to stay 1 meter away, they are not afraid of you and freely roam around you. We went in nov when the 2 day snow monkey pass was npt available. Can still ride the snow monkey express bus no.23 from outside nagano station whoch takes about 50 min- 1 way 1800 yen by visa or cash. Then 800 yen for admission to park. Takes about 30 min to walk from bus stop to park. Snow monkey park was the biggest highlight for our trip to japan/ nagano

A very beautiful place to see the autumn foliage. It’s very relaxing walking along the gorge with many eateries and old shops line along it. The vibes are good during the autumn season. Good for photography.

Your schedule is very tight pls improve your schedule and lunch menu . Lunch is tasteless and bad . Improve your lunch . Bus driver and bus Staff is very nice and humble.

Its amazing to see Mt Fuji and its surrounding wonders. Its highly recommended. The time is just perfect. Thank you to our tour guide and driver for making the trip enjoyable. Its worth the price you pay.
