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.

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.

Recommended tour guide Xiao Pan! Before the trip, we specially contacted the precautions for gathering on the next day. We will create atmosphere along the way and explain the culture of the attractions. You will not have the feeling of being let go after getting on the bus to rest and getting off the attractions! We will also assist in taking photos and interpreting explanations! The whole shopping experience was very good👍🏻

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.

The itinerary is rich and smooth, and the driver is very safe. The tour guide Xiao Pan explained in detail and humorously. He can talk about a lot of information and tips about Hokkaido. Good timing. Will also recommend it to friends if they go there

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!
