This one day tour was very recommended. Because there are Japanese n foreigner in the bus, they arrange 1 Japanese guide and 1 translator (Mandarin n English). The guide explain the destination clearly. The most interesting destination is the zoo, although it was raining that day, we still be able to enjoy it.

Our driver, Xiao Ma was on time, nice and efficient. We managed to go to all places we wanted to see in Furano/Biei from Farm Tomita, Shikisai No Oka, Blue Pond, Shirahige Falls, Mt. Tokachi and Ningle Terrace. We even had a nice lunch in a small restaurant on the way to Blue Pond. We were glad that we chartered this, so we can enjoy all those places at our own pace.

There was a slight confusion at pick-up due to several tours starting at the same time but different destinations, but staff were very helpful and I made it on my bus on time. As a solo traveller, I found the time given to us to explore each destination was suitable and the friendly guide gave us a quick recommendation of what to see and eat so we could use our time suitably. There was slight traffic when arriving at Blue Pond due to the perfect weather and significant increase in tourists but staff were quick and reliable in informing us the new return times to the bus to ensure we were still able to fully enjoy each place. Highly recommend for those that are travelling alone, with friends and family and especially if you don't plan to drive to these places.
