It takes a few minutes to walk out of the JR station to the hotel, which is very convenient. There are many restaurants and shopping malls around the hotel, making it easy to fill your stomach and shop.

Highly recommended. The tour left the meeting place on time and was on schedule the whole day. Noboribetsu was interesting since it emitted sulphur which was said to be good for the health. Lake Toya was crowded.

The Asahiyama zoo is truly amazing with great views though I wish the time allocation for this stop could have been slightly longer. Guide delivers mainly in Chinese and sufficiently in English and Japanese.

I was able to buy it at a much cheaper price than the official price! Another attractive point is that I was able to get it for less than half price by using coupons and points. The aquarium itself is in the middle of the city, and there were quite a few people there. It wasn't very impressive, but there were many small creatures and even penguins. If you have about 2 hours to spare, I think it's worth going as part of your sightseeing.

We are a family of four who participated in Guide Ire's tour on October 27th with our stylish parents! We made a reservation to travel comfortably with our parents during the fall season in Sapporo, and thanks to the guide's perfect satisfaction, our parents, who are package experts, were able to make great memories in Sapporo🥹 Thanks to the weather fairy guide, the rain forecast disappeared completely and the sun was peeking through the clouds, making it a great day for taking pictures✨ And the guide chose an interesting theme for each location and guided us with the perfect BGM, so we weren't bored during the trip. He explained the must-see points for each location and left them in an open chat, so we had time to think about what to do before arriving. The best part was that thanks to the guide's recommended snacks and list of good restaurants based on her experience, we were able to discuss them with our parents in advance, and we were able to enjoy a delicious meal without having to wait in line even though it was the weekend. This tour was so beautiful that we didn’t want to waste time looking at the withered lavender fields in the fall, so we boldly excluded Farm Tomita and stayed at other places for a long time. Thanks to this, we were able to enjoy other tours in more detail and take as many pictures as we wanted. In particular, our guide was the first to get off the bus, ran to the photo spot, saved our seats, and took pictures for us, so we were able to take many family pictures. My parents loved it, saying that they had never seen such a passionate guide before! It was a meaningful tour because the guide thought hard about many things and guided us based on his own experiences, to the point that I wanted to visit Sapporo again in a different season. Guide Ire, please continue to be a guide in the future👍 Thank you!

"This day tour was absolutely amazing! Each stop was unique and beautiful, making it a well-rounded experience. Asahiyama Zoo was a treat, especially the adorable penguins and polar bears. The enclosures allow for close-up viewing, and the staff provided lots of interesting information about the animals. Shirahige Falls was breathtaking, with its cascading waters set against a stunning natural landscape. The Blue Pond in Biei was another highlight—its vivid blue color in the summer is truly mesmerizing. In winter, the Forest Fairy Terrace creates a magical snowy wonderland, adding to the charm. Our guide spoke both Chinese and English fluently and was knowledgeable, friendly, and organized, making the tour enjoyable and hassle-free. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Hokkaido! It’s the perfect mix of nature, wildlife, and unique scenery.

It is very convenient to buy tickets. You can directly exchange them when you arrive at the TV tower. The night view on the observation deck is very good. There are souvenir shops above and below.
