Things to do in Shirogane Blue Pond

Guide Satchi is the best. Haha. I thought he was shy, but it was simple and easy. The composition was good, and I'm leaving with a lot of good memories~

The tour guide Don was very informative and put safety above everything else. The tour itinerary was changed due to road closure and bad weather, however we found the time spent still enjoyable as Don quite pro actively update us on the changes and alternative.

On the same day, many Biei tour buses depart, and each destination is filled with tourists. Our bus always arrives at tourist sites a little earlier, so we can tour when there are fewer people, which was very satisfying. Our guide, Yu-chan, also provided us with various information about Biei as well as Sapporo, which was very helpful for our trip. I highly recommend it.

Thank you to the tour guide for your explanation and guidance along the way. Although the highway happened to be closed due to heavy snow and we took a long detour, it was still a very special experience. The snowy Asahikawa and Biei are so beautiful that you won’t want to leave!

Today (17 Dec 2024), although the expressway from Sapporo to Furano was blocked by the storm, our tour guide Habi reorganized the itinerary for us and shortened the lunch in order to visit the most scenic spots. Remember to keep warm, wear two pairs of pants on your legs and thick down on your upper body.

The trip was fun, covered all the important places, and made the most of my time. Very good.

Our tour guide this time is Grace (Zhou Yan). She is a very professional tour guide. There was an episode in our trip. The bus broke down on the way and the group members disappeared. She handled it all very well. Not long after we went shopping at the specialty store, she had already done the homework with us in the car, so we bought Hokkaido's "limited" souvenirs in a short period of time. I had a lot of fun joining the one-day tour this time. Thank you Grace and the driver for the arrangement. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

12/17 is generally good, but very cold. Roads may be closed if there is snow. The overall trip will be shortened after the detour. There will be penguins walking at 11:00.
