This one-day tour has a rich itinerary. You don’t need to plan your own itinerary. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery such as the zoo and Biei at the same time. In addition, the tour guide also provided attentive service, which is commendable.

It was a tight schedule because it was a tour, but I guess it can't be helped because of the snow!!! And the guide explained things well, told interesting stories about good restaurants and Hokkaido, took pictures for us, and it was the best ㅎㅎ!! It seems like you absolutely have to do the Biei Tour when traveling to Sapporo!! It was the best during my trip~~

Very convenient. When you get to the station, hand it to the officer and they will issue you a ticket. Plus, you can use it with a cashback app to get cashback. It's great!

I had an amazing experience on a sightseeing tour in Hokkaido! The itinerary was well-organized, covering stunning landscapes like rolling hills, serene lakes, and beautiful flower fields. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights about the region. It was a stress-free way to explore Hokkaido’s natural beauty and local culture. Highly recommend for anyone visiting!

It was a very fun trip. Since the various attractions are far apart, it is suitable for people without driving to easily visit the attractions. We are all very satisfied with this trip.

great value as I’ve used it at Asahiyama Zoo, moiwa Ropeway and Hoheikyo onsen bus and onsen package. take note you have to redeem the onsen package at the Sapporo tv tower tourist counter. the kappa bus was fully booked so I took the local bus which allows me to drop off at jozankei town for some sightseeing before hopping back to the next bus heading to hoheikyo onsen. more convenient than kappa I think which don’t allow that. however, need to make sure you have seats on the 80 mins bus ride. definitely recto buy.

tour was well organised, it was great that the seats were pre allocated too. limited time for each stop as such good to prepare some food to eat along the way and spend time on sightseeing instead. our guide Lisa was awesome she can speak english and Chinese, she is friendly, provides good recommendations and also ensures everyone kept to the schedule. highly recommended day trip from Sapporo.
