I was quite disappointed, more than I had expected.

久しぶりの旅行
All the bus seats were taken, and I wished they could have at least seated us together as a family. They said we could borrow umbrellas at the zoo, but the place to borrow them was quite far away. There were many such issues.バスの席は全部埋まり、せめて家族でまとめてほしかった。動物園は傘が借りれると言ってたのに、貸してくれる場所まで、かなり距離があった。もうそんなのがやまほどありました。

I proposed enjoying our favorite scenery on a bus tour with my family, feeling excited about trying a different tour company. However, I never want to use this company again. The driver's driving was reckless and rough, showing no consideration for the passengers. They seemed Chinese...

The driver's driving was reckless and rough, showing no consideration for the passengers. They seemed Chinese... I’m relieved we arrived without an accident, but the sightseeing content was wonderful, even if the time for sightseeing was short, so I was very satisfied despite the disappointing driving.
I was astonished by the reviews being accurate. The lunch buffet was terrible, and the women's restroom was unacceptable; it always seemed to need someone in charge of cleaning! The cleaning was insufficient, toilet paper was not flushed, there was a mountain of trash, and the water was not running for foreign guests... I stopped using the restroom. It was not hygienic at all. I was glad it was only 60 minutes. I wished there had been a Japanese guide so I could express my opinions... It was so dirty that I forgot to take pictures; I should have posted them. Given the surge in tourists during the COVID-19 pandemic, I hope they improve hygiene completely.
The only thing I enjoyed was buying lavender soft serve ice cream, which was delicious.
I really wanted to eat at Asahiyama Zoo without a meal. There were others who had similar experiences as described in the reviews. I felt that I wanted to avoid tour companies with bad reviews. 家族で，大好きな景色をバスツアーで楽しむ提案し いつもとは違うツアー会社にドキドキも.. 2度と利用したくない、しない会社。担当者の 運転が 乱暴で荒く、お客様が乗ってる事を考えていない、中国人には見えるが...事故なく着いて安堵してますが観光内容は素晴らしいので、時間内での観光も短くも 大満足なので、残念な運転でした。
This time, I participated in a bus tour during summer vacation. The content of the tour was good, but the lunch buffet I was looking forward to was extremely disappointing. I don't expect high-end ingredients, but I would enjoy it if there were more variety.

There were about 20 participants this time, and although there seemed to be enough space on the bus, the seats were narrow and cramped. I thought it would be nice if there was a bit more consideration for that. The return trip to Sapporo took about three hours, and the mountain roads were tough. It would have been better if we had used the expressway earlier to get back a bit faster. I had a good impression from the last tour I participated in to Shakotan and Yoichi, so this time was disappointing. 今回、夏休みを利用しバスツアーに参加しました。ツアーの内容は、良いのですが、楽しみにしていた昼食バイキングの内容が酷く期待はずれでした。高級な食材を望んでいませんが品数が多ければ楽しめます。今回、参加者が20名でバスの席に余裕がある様でしたが、席間が狭く窮屈でした。 もう少し配慮していただけると、良いなと思いました。帰りの札幌迄の時間が3時間程かかり、山道でしんどかったです。早めに高速に使用し少しでも早く帰れたら良かったです。前回、積丹、余市方面のツアーに参加した時のイメージが良かったので、今回は、… 今回、夏休みを利用しバスツアーに参加しました。ツアーの内容は、良いのですが、楽しみにしていた昼食バイキングの内容が酷く期待はずれでした。高級な食材を望んでいませんが品数が多ければ楽しめます。今回、参加者が20名でバスの席に余裕がある様でしたが、席間が狭く窮屈でした。 もう少し配慮していただけると、良いなと思いました。帰りの札幌迄の時間が3時間程かかり、山道でしんどかったです。早めに高速に使用し少しでも早く帰れたら良かったです。前回、積丹、余市方面のツアーに参加した時のイメージが良かったので、今回は、残念でした。

The tour content was good. However, I was disappointed that the bus was a microbus. We couldn't maintain distance from other participants, and since there were elderly people in the group, I really wished they had provided a proper sightseeing bus that allowed for spacing, especially during these times. I understand that it's tough with the increasing number of infections, but that aspect was truly disappointing.ツアー内容は良かったです。ただ、バスがマイクロバスでがっかりです。 他の参加者とも間隔を開けられないし、高齢の方もいたので、こんな時だからこそ、ちゃんと間隔をあけられる観光バスにしてほしかったです。 感染者が増えてるので、大変なのもわかりますが、そこだけはほんと残念でした。

Asahiyama Zoo was not crowded and I enjoyed it. I was disappointed that I couldn't experience the polar bear dome due to COVID. The guide and the driver were moving us along quickly, even though we were ahead of schedule, which made me feel uncomfortable. When we stopped by "Ningle Terrace," it was closed and the lights were off.

In the morning, one of the participants asked, "Aren't we going to the Blue Pond?" and the response was, "This tour does not go there." The guide then said something like, "Why is it closed? We should at least borrow the restroom." Another participant mentioned that the tour company had notified them that "Ningle Terrace" is closed at this time of year, so they would be going to the Blue Pond instead. The guide responded, "I didn't hear that from the company!" and then said, "I didn't know that. We're going back the way we came to go to the Blue Pond, everyone please cooperate." As a result, we ended up significantly delayed from our scheduled return time.
I felt so uncomfortable being rushed like that, only to end up returning later than planned, which made what should have been a fun trip feel disappointing. 旭山動物園は空いていて楽しめました。 シロクマのドームをコロナで体験できなかったことが残念でした。 ガイドさんと運転手さんが、予定時間より早く移動できているのに、終始、巻きで移動させる感じでなんだか嫌だなぁと思っていたところ、「ニングルテラス」に立ち寄ったら明かりがついてなく閉まっていました。 朝の段階で、参加者のひとりが、「青い池には行かないのですか」と尋ねたところ、 「このツアーは行かない」と言うやりとりがありました。 ガイドさんは、「なんで、あいてないの。トイレだけでも借りましょう」的なことを言って… 旭山動物園は空いていて楽しめました。 シロクマのドームをコロナで体験できなかったことが残念でした。 ガイドさんと運転手さんが、予定時間より早く移動できているのに、終始、巻きで移動させる感じでなんだか嫌だなぁと思っていたところ、「ニングルテラス」に立ち寄ったら明かりがついてなく閉まっていました。 朝の段階で、参加者のひとりが、「青い池には行かないのですか」と尋ねたところ、 「このツアーは行かない」と言うやりとりがありました。 ガイドさんは、「なんで、あいてないの。トイレだけでも借りましょう」的なことを言ってきました。 また、参加者の方が、「今の時期 「ニングルテラス」はしまっているから青の池に行くってツアー会社からの通知にある」とお話しされたところ、 ガイドさんは「会社から聞いてない！」といった後、「会社から聞いてなかった。今から、元来た道を戻り青の池に行く、皆さんご協力ください」といい、結果、終了時間は予定時刻から大幅に遅れました。 あんなに不快に感じる位巻きで移動させられたのに、結果帰る時間が遅くなるとはと思い、楽しい旅行が悲しい気持ちになりました。

The tour guide was a foreigner, but he was very polite and kind. He mentioned that he used to live in Kobe but has come to like Hokkaido and decided to stay. The weather was cloudy with occasional light rain, but I really enjoyed Asahiyama Zoo, the Blue Pond, and the waterfalls. However, I was very disappointed with the meal. It was supposed to be zaru soba and tempura, but the zaru soba was only about the size of a fist, and there were just two pieces of tempura, like potato, and two inari sush… The tour guide was a foreigner, but he was very polite and kind.

It was supposed to be zaru soba and tempura, but the zaru soba was only about the size of a fist, and there were just two pieces of tempura, like potato, and two inari sushi. That was it. It felt way too small, more like a child's meal, and I was very disappointed. I think it would have been better to have no meal included and instead lower the price, allowing for a longer stay at Asahiyama Zoo and having the freedom to eat there. 添乗員さんが、外国の方だったのですが、とても丁寧でいい方でした。 昔は神戸にいたけど、北海道が気に入って住むようになったとおっしゃっていました。 天気は曇りでたまに雨がパラパラ降る感じでしたが、旭山動物園も、青い池も、滝もとても楽しかったです。 ただ、食事内容がとても残念でした。 ざるそばと天ぷらとの事でしたが、ざるそばは握りこぶしぐらいの量、天ぷらは芋などの天ぷらが2つ、いなり2つ。 たったそれだけ。 ちょっとこれではあまりにも少ないというか、お子様ランチぐらいの量でとても残念でした。 これなら、食事無しでそ… 添乗員さんが、外国の方だったのですが、とても丁寧でいい方でした。 昔は神戸にいたけど、北海道が気に入って住むようになったとおっしゃっていました。 天気は曇りでたまに雨がパラパラ降る感じでしたが、旭山動物園も、青い池も、滝もとても楽しかったです。 ただ、食事内容がとても残念でした。 ざるそばと天ぷらとの事でしたが、ざるそばは握りこぶしぐらいの量、天ぷらは芋などの天ぷらが2つ、いなり2つ。 たったそれだけ。 ちょっとこれではあまりにも少ないというか、お子様ランチぐらいの量でとても残念でした。 これなら、食事無しでその分お値打ちにしてもらって、旭山動物園の滞在時間を長く取り、そこで自由に食事の方がいいと思いました。

The meeting place was a bit hard to find, and even though I arrived early with someone else who was departing from the same location, we had to wait a long time for the person in charge to arrive. When I called, I found out they were right behind us. The driver and the tour guide were both great, so I’m glad I participated, but I was really disappointed with the food as it was very unappetizing.待ち合わせ場所がいまいち分かりにくく、同じ場所から出発の人と予定時刻より早く着いたのに待ち、なかなか担当の方が来ないので電話したら、すぐ真裏にいらっしゃいました。 運転手さんと添乗員さんがとてもよかったので、参加して良かったですが、ご飯がまずすぎてガッカリしました

Early in the morning, we headed from Sapporo to Asahikawa via the highway. There were 11 participants in 5 groups (3 Japanese groups and 2 foreign groups), so we used a small microbus. While I appreciated that the tour was still conducted with a small number of people, the ride was a bit uncomfortable. The driver was a pleasant person.

We spent 2 hours at Asahiyama Zoo, enjoying the underwater polar bears, penguins viewed from below, and seals swimming freely in the tanks! It was wonderful to see the lively animals in the water. On the other hand, the land animals looked pitifully exhausted from the heat, just like us humans.
The "Hokkaido local gourmet lunch" was a bit disappointing due to the overlap with other foreign groups, which made it crowded, and the limited menu. I had high expectations, so it was a letdown. I actually think it would have been better to extend our time at Asahiyama Zoo and have the freedom to eat there.

The sightseeing was enjoyable. The guide was also good. As for the local lunch, I think there were fewer participants, which might have contributed to the limited variety, and the food wasn't very tasty.観光は楽しいかったです。ガイドの人も良かった。 ご当地ランチが‥ 参加者もら少なかったのもあるたら思いますが種類も少なくご飯が美味しく無かったです。

I had a great time at Asahiyama Zoo, where I could take my time exploring. Other tourist spots also met my expectations, and I was able to visit them efficiently. Unfortunately, the quality of lunch was disappointing. The ramen was made with cold boiled noodles and lukewarm soup. The vegetables in the soup curry were about 1 centimeter long, which was quite meager, especially since I was expecting something special from Hokkaido, so I was let down. I felt sorry for the guests from Honshu.

There was a family with a child around 2 years old who were walking around without a seatbelt, which was dangerous, and there was no warning given. The cost-performance was good, but it was a shame about the important meal. The cleanliness of the car was also lacking. 旭山動物園でゆっくり見学でき楽しかったです。他の観光地も期待通りで効率よく回れました。残念だづたのは、昼食の質が低かったこと。ラーメンは冷えた茹で麺に保温のスープでめるいまま。スープカレーの野菜が1センチ前後てあまりにもさみしく北海道産の名物と期待していたので、がっかり。 本州からのお客様に申し訳なかったです。 2歳位の子連れ家族がシーベルトをせず、歩き回っていて危険なのに、注意がなかった。 コスパは良かったので、大事な食事は残念。 車の清掃もイマイチでした、

Since it was my first time participating from Kyushu, I was really worried about the weather in Hokkaido. As expected, it was colder than I thought, and I felt chilly in short sleeves, so I ended up wearing a jacket. The forecast didn't predict any rain, so I didn't bring an umbrella, but it actually drizzled a bit, which made me anxious. Having a folding umbrella and a compact jacket is definitely not a burden, and it's better than regretting being cold.

Having a folding umbrella and a compact jacket is definitely not a burden, and it's better than regretting being cold.
I thought that the photo spots were places I would never go to if I were using my own car instead of a bus tour, so that's one of the great things about the bus tour! The guide was experienced, so I was impressed by how they said things like, "I recommend this here," or "The restroom over there is busier than this one." They provided great tips, like when it's best to use the restroom and that it’s better to hold off on snacks for now. I think those insights are skills that only a veteran can provide. I had no complaints other than the meals, so I would love to talk with this guide again. Thank you very much! 九州から初参加だった為、北海道の天気がどんな感じか本当に不安でした。案の定思ったより寒くて、半袖では寒く上着を着て過ごしました。雨も予報にはなかったので持って行ってなかったら、実際少しパラついててヒヤヒヤしました。折り畳み傘とコンパクトに出来る上着はあって困る物ではないし、寒くて後悔するよりマシです。 写真撮影する場所はバスツアーじゃなくて自家用車だったら絶対行かない場所だったよなーって思ったので、それはバスツアーのいい所ですね！ガイドさんも慣れてる方だったので、「ここではこういう物がオススメです… 九州から初参加だった為、北海道の天気がどんな感じか本当に不安でした。案の定思ったより寒くて、半袖では寒く上着を着て過ごしました。雨も予報にはなかったので持って行ってなかったら、実際少しパラついててヒヤヒヤしました。折り畳み傘とコンパクトに出来る上着はあって困る物ではないし、寒くて後悔するよりマシです。 写真撮影する場所はバスツアーじゃなくて自家用車だったら絶対行かない場所だったよなーって思ったので、それはバスツアーのいい所ですね！ガイドさんも慣れてる方だったので、「ここではこういう物がオススメです」とか「そっちよりこっちのトイレの方が混まないです」とか慣れてるのが凄い！と思いました。どのタイミングで絶対トイレに行っておくといいとか、今はまだオヤツで我慢しておくべきとか、案外言われないと気付かない点は、ベテランさんじゃないと出来ない技なのかなと思います。食事以外に不満はないので、このガイドさんならまたお話ししたいと思いました。本当に有難う御座いました！

Hello~ It was a bit too packed and tiring. The lunch buffet was hectic, and there were too few dishes that suited my taste. There shouldn't be breaks every 10 minutes.
Finally, the crew instructed us to put our trash in the trash cans at the service area. It felt like they were saying that. I didn't comply, but they were specifying where to throw it away. I'll be contacting the highway corporation; this is the worst.こんにちは〜 チョット詰め込みすぎて疲れる 昼のビュッフェランチが忙しなくて 食べる料理が少なすぎて口に合わない、 休憩も10分刻みはないだろう、
I understood that there would be some time constraints on the bus tour, but 90 minutes at Asahiyama Zoo was too short.
The animals are not always in easily visible spots, so while we were searching for them, time kept slipping away, and there were animals we couldn't see, which left the kids feeling disappointed.
The all-you-can-eat melon was delicious!バスツアーなので、ある程度時間制限がある中で楽しまないといけないのはわかってはいましたが、 旭山動物園の９０分は短すぎました。
The food was not good. Perhaps because there are many foreign guests, the announcements were just loud. It was noisy inside the vehicle. The meals should be reconsidered.ご飯美味しくなかった 海外客が多いからか案内もただうるさい 車内もうるさかった 食事は考えるべき

I was looking forward to this tour because I was satisfied with the bus tour the day before, but I think the guide was originally from China and spoke for 50 minutes straight in Chinese, which seemed to bewilder the other participants as well. The bus company from the previous day provided headphones, which was very good. I also felt that the bus seats were cramped. The buffet was not tasty, so I think I will avoid this tour next time.初めての北海道で前日のバスツアーに満足したこともあり期待しての参加でしたが、ガイドさんはもともと中国の人だと思いますが、中国人向けの話(説明？)が中国語で50分ぶっ続け、他の参加者も呆れたのではないかと感じました。前日のバス会社はイヤホン🎧️でとても良かったです。バスの椅子も狭く感じました。バイキングも不味かったし次回参加の際はこのツアーは避けようと思います。

At Asahiyama Zoo, I participated in the polar bear feeding time. Arriving just over 10 minutes early, I got a great spot in the front row for standing viewers!
Before the feeding time, the zoo staff got ready, and the polar bear started to get restless. It climbed on the rocks and wandered around... Then, at the start time, fish were thrown into the pool, and we witnessed an impressive dive from the polar bear, which drew cheers from the audience! After that, it elegantly swam while eating the fish. I also got to see the feeding times for seals and giraffes. Although it was only two hours, I was able to see most of the animals!
Next, we headed to Furano for an all-you-can-eat lunch. There were 30 types of food, including Hokkaido specialties like Genghis Khan (grilled lamb) and soup curry, as well as desserts. Well, I also enjoyed lavender soft serve and melon at the shop.
After the meal, we headed towards Tokachidake and enjoyed the Blue Pond and Shirahige Falls. Both the Blue Pond and Shirahige Falls were connected, and the waterfall and pond were all stunningly blue, which was breathtaking. Tokachidake was also beautifully visible, offering a spectacular view!
I got tired from walking and dozed off on the return bus. Thanks to the driver and guide, we safely arrived at Sapporo Station. I made wonderful memories in just one day! Thank you very much!! 6月24日土曜日 天気は、まずまずの曇り時々晴れ。
It's too geared towards foreigners and hard to understand (laughs). The buffet is also messy. Even when I participate in overseas tours, there are always delicious options. The taste here was disrespectful to Japanese cuisine. Given this quality, I strongly hope for a tour without meals in the 5,000 yen range. I won't recommend it to my friends.外国人向けすぎて、わかりにくい(笑) バイキングも雑。自分が海外のツアーに参加しても美味しい物は必ずある。ここは日本食に失礼な味でした。この内容であれば、他の食事無しツアー五千円代を強く希望します。お友達にも勧めません。

It was good, but...

It was indicated that there was no guide, but there was one. The conversation was enjoyable. The Herb Garden Furano did not have a herb garden; it was just a drive-in with food and a souvenir shop.ガイドはないとの表示でしたが、ありました。話は楽しかったです。 ハーブガーデン富良野は ハーブガーデンは無くて 食事とお土産やさんだけのドライブインでした。
