Convenient and easy to find the pick up location. Only 7 of us inside the van so not crowded. No tattoos allowed inside the onsen bath, however, there are free foot onsen in the area.

Solo Hokkaido travel Biei is difficult to get to by train because you have to transfer multiple times, so I looked into the bus tour Indigo Tour. After reading the reviews, I made a reservation right away and traveled with strangers for the first time. As expected, it was the best choice. Thanks to our guide, Gyaru-san, my energy was high during the trip!! She took such pretty personal pictures at various spots and explained Hokkaido's history in an easy-to-understand way. The beautiful Biei trip bus tour was so good that I'm leaving a review for the first time~~ And thank you so much for the shopping list of delicious Sapporo restaurants that our guide, Gyaru, sent us from time to time^^

I went there by taking the Sapporo City Loop Electric Train. I visited at night on purpose to see the night view. Although the time I enjoyed it was short compared to the time I waited to get to the top, I was able to see a wonderful night view. Next time I visit, I plan to use the daytime.

It was a trip that satisfied me with the price, the guide's explanation, and the course. I went in April, which is the off-season, so the natural scenery was a little disappointing, but there weren't that many people, so I was able to see it comfortably. There are many restaurants to choose from in Biei, but since it's a group trip, not a free trip, you may feel that the lunch time is short. However, the guide calculated the schedule by the minute, so we were able to arrive at the restaurant 5 minutes faster than other tour companies without waiting. Finally, if you come out of Exit 31 of Odori Station (Sapporo TV Tower) and go to the back right toward the tower, there will be a road at the end of the block. If you stand there, a large large bus will come.

The transportation from Hokkaido to the suburbs is relatively sparse. If you are not traveling by car, taking a one-day tour is a good choice. The tour guide for this day tour was very friendly and humorous, which made the entire trip more interesting. He also explained the tourist attraction information to the tour members from all over the world in three languages (Chinese, English, and Japanese), so there was no need to worry about the tour members not being able to understand. He was very considerate!
