Biei is a very scenic and peaceful place. It’s worth visiting if you love nature. I highly recommend The lone Christmas Tree and The Blue Pond.
Yuki was an excellent guide! The restaurants he recommended for lunch were great- the food was delicious and the service was of good quality. Yuki is a polite, friendly and professional guide. We enjoyed talking to him about Hokkaido among many other things. He was also punctual and a good driver. The van he drove was comfortable and clean.

Awesome tour
Phoebe_L, Nov 2024
Highly recommend this tour. Kenny was a great host. We went on the tour in a group of 8 and had a great time. Thank you Kenny.

This is a very great review for him. You can enjoy it in other seasons too, so please come visit Hokkaido again.
An Autumn Furano experience!
Chanitwan_T, Oct 2024
Our tour guide, Keny, was exceptionally polite and helpful throughout the day. The Alphard vehicle was spotless, comfortable, and in excellent condition, which made the journey even more enjoyable. The itinerary was well thought out, allowing us just the right amount of time at each stop. Everything ran seamlessly and on schedule. The scenic foliage was absolutely breathtaking, and the melons were simply delicious – a must-try! Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we truly appreciate the thoughtful planning and attention to detail.

Thank you for coming to Hokkaido and using our services.
We are glad that you had a wonderful experience. The cherry blossoms and autumn leaves in Hokkaido are fleeting, and you were lucky to be able to see the beautiful autumn leaves in Biei and Furano. In another week, the autumn leaves will be beautiful in Sapporo as well.
Fairy tale flower fields
Corina_C, Oct 2024
The natural beauty of the flower fields was breathtaking, as well as the drive through the mountains during foliage season to see the blue pond and the waterfall. And, as I know from many visits in this country? I had come to really appreciate the rare gift of our driver speaking English

Thank you for coming to Hokkaido and using our services.
Were you able to enjoy the nature of Hokkaido? There is so much more to see, so what you saw may only be a small part of it. If you have another chance, please come to Hokkaido.
Flexible tour and professional driver
VITA_C, Aug 2024
Like the tour arrangements. The driver welcomed us at the hotel with a name sign. Although the private tour was a bit pricey, the driver and the vehicle made a worthy spend. I like the tour schedule arrangement. Just a little short in staying at Farm Tomitas.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Thank you for coming to Hokkaido and using our services.
We cannot extend the time, but we can be flexible within the time frame. Also discuss this with the driver, so please feel free to ask us next time.
Thumb up for visit all the attractions that I want to visit while staying in Sapporo
JoYeeJoey_H, Aug 2024
Great experience within a very limited time. I would not be able to do all the driving and visit all the attractions within a day (& driving in the rain on the way). Appreciate the thoughtfulness of giving us a restrooom break on both going in and coming back from the 3 hour/way drive. The driver also pick a good spot for lunch with many options to choose from. Like most local tour, language barrier is there but the driver did his best to get things done. Overall, I think it’s worth it (just need to adjust the expectation on how much you get within the short stay on each POi)

Thank you for coming to Hokkaido and using our services.
As you say, there is a language barrier, but we drivers will do our best.
such a good time that the time may have felt short.
Lovely Day Trip
Caryn_O, Jul 2024
We had a wonderful day trip to Furano and Biei. It was just right since we did not want to stay overnight. Kate was a hospitavle and knowledgeable driver! She knew the best routes to get around the crowds.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Thank you for coming to Hokkaido and using our services.
We are glad it was a wonderful day trip. It must have been tiring because of the distance traveled. Anyway, I'm glad it was a safe and comfortable trip.
Super!
CeciliaWeiLee_H, Jul 2024
Our tour guide very friendly and flexible. Kat brought us other places other than the actual itinerary. She asked us where we wanted to go first thing we sat on the car. She brought us to Christmas tree and Ningle terrace. She also helped us take photos . Thumbs up and definitely 5 star service.

Awesome driver
Tamkin_A, Jul 2024
Our guide, Kishikawa-san picked us up in the morning at 8 o’clock sharp. She was very nice and did everything and beyond to make our trip as pleasant as possible. She even brought us snacks! Every now and then she would make sjre that we were okay and asked if we needed restroom-breaks. Overall it couldn’t have been better and our guide was perfect.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Thank you for coming to Hokkaido and using our services.
She is knowledgeable about delicious gourmet food and sweets, so sure she'll bring us a variety of delicious dishes next time.
Great experience!
Mailyn_O, Jul 2024
We had a wonderful time thanks to Kasu san! Very good driving and clearly knows the places we wish to go well, good communication, and trip planned well to give us enough time to enjoy the places we wished to visit. The drive was long but stress free because of Kazu san’s efficient driving.

Camille_T, May 2024
Kiyoe-san (Kate) was such a lovely guide to have and worked so hard to make sure my mom and I had a positive experience. Due to the season (flowers not being in bloom) and crowds (due to the holiday) there needed to be some adjustments and flexibility and she was great with making it work. It was a great day and we really enjoyed ourselves and the beautiful countryside.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Thank you for coming to Hokkaido and using our services.
We are glad we were able to provide her with a valuable and enjoyable experience. Also very happy that her hard work was conveyed. The other seasons are wonderful too. Please come to Hokkaido again.

Amazing and memorable day trip!
Jess_C, May 2024
We saw everything we wanted to see even though it was drizzling as we had an absolutely amazing, friendly and helpful driver, Masaru-san! So a big big thankyou to him indeed who made it all possible even an unscheduled stop at a canola field of flowers and to top it all we spotted a beautiful fox!👌👌👌
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Thank you for coming to Hokkaido and using our services.
If you're lucky, you may encounter wild animals. Although it can be dangerous, it may also be proof of Hokkaido's abundant nature.
An awesome day trip
lena_c, Apr 2024
Masaru-San is a very pleasant and attentive driver cum guide . He went over his duty as a driver to provide us information on the places we were visiting . Communication was not an issue. We had a wonderful time

Very nice customizable tour around Biei Furano
Kim, Apr 2024
Kenny-san really accomodated and assisted us with our whole tour. He was very informative everytime we'll be going to our next destination. Thank you very much!
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you very much for your kind comment.
This is a great review for drivers. We hope you will come to Hokkaido again and experience it again.
Professional driver & amazing tour!
Yun_Q, Feb 2024
We would like to thank Masaru-san for a memorable trip around the regions of Biei and Furano! He was professional and made an effort to communicate with us, making sure we were comfortable throughout the journey. At one point, we came up against an unexpected blizzard and road visibility was very low, but Masaru-san braved the snow & wind to bring us back safely. We are grateful to have him as our driver and will highly recommend him and this tour to anyone who wants to visit Hokkaido!
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Hokkaido doesn't have many typhoons, but you may encounter strong snowstorms. Our drivers always drive safely and provide you with the best memories.
If you have a chance, please come to Hokkaido again.

Best value for a private day trip for a group of 6 or more!
Velvet_C, Oct 2023
Kiyoe was such a sweet and professional guide. We loved the convenience of having a leisurely tour without a lot of people. She took us to a local Japanese restaurant that was fabulous! It's worth the price if you have a group of 6-8. For a 8am-6pm tour, less than $100 per person.
Would highly recommend it if you want to see the countryside of Hokkaido. Know that it's 1.5-2 hour drive from Sapporo each way. Worth every penny!
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Thank you for coming to Hokkaido!!
As you said, it may seem expensive at first glance because it is a private car, but it is a service that is more valuable than a group bus because it allows you to spend time with your family and be more comfortable.
We look forward to seeing you again.
A day trip worth going.
Raymond_P, Sep 2023
The driver Mr Masaru Tanetani was very nice and friendly. He brought us to a local family run restaurant that serves very authentic localized Japanese dishes that were inexpensive for lunch.
The sightseeing was fantastical. The schedule suggested by Viator was well planned. We had enough time to not just seeing the scenic views and taking nice photos, but also time for buying souvenirs. There’s no rushing around even though the day trip was to visit four different scenic sites.
Response from Host, Oct 2023

Next time also we will suggest and take you good Hokkaido.
We look forward to seeing you again.

SWEEHOO_L, Jul 2023
We were mesmerized by the scenery at Tomita Farm and Kanno Farm. The flowers were planted neatly. Attracted a lot of visitors. Our first impression is that it would be a very good business opportunity if my country could manage flower farms with similar concepts.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Thank you for using our service. If the environment is good, you may be able to enjoy the same scenery. I think that the scenery of Hokkaido is gradually becoming more beautiful.
We hope to see you again.
