Full description
This is a 10.5-hour experience in Sapporo. It is run by TOURSTORY Japan, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.
Hokkaido is Japan's northern island, a different climate and a different scale: Sapporo is its city, with the beer museum, the ramen alley and the February snow festival; Otaru, 40 minutes away, has the canal and the glass and music-box shops; Noboribetsu is the hell-valley hot springs; Lake Toya and Lake Shikotsu are caldera lakes; and Biei and Furano in the centre are the flower fields and lavender of July. Winter brings two metres of snow to Sapporo and the powder that made Niseko famous. Distances are long and trains are few, so day tours from Sapporo are mostly by bus and run eight to ten hours.
The price covers Transportation and English & Korean & Chinese Speaking Guide. It does not cover Meals, Travelers Insurance, Other Personal Expenses and Shikisai on Oka, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.
TOURSTORY Japan sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with TOURSTORY Japan before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Traveler Reviews
this trip was great! the driver was the best. the guides were terrific- funny, engaging, attentive, and knowledgeable.
Most liked the efficiency and clarity of what we were going to see at the various sites. Knowledgeable guides made the tour pleasant.
Great trip covering lots of different beautiful sights that would be hard to get to (as a tourist) without a car. Guides were knowledgeable and very friendly. Excellent tour
I really loved this day trip! It was fast paced but gives you a good taste of Biei. Guides were super sweet and knowledgable, special shoutout to Cinna and Sei for making it an amazing day!! We even celebrated a proposal :)
Baku-san and the entire team was a delight to be around. The team led us to each place with ease (in English and Korean). We thoroughly enjoyed the pace - plenty of opportunities to buy souvenirs and look at scenery. Highly recommend this tour!
Andy was a fantastic guide and took great care of us.
We thoroughly enjoyed our day tour to Biei, Furano, the Blue Pond, and more. Although it rained during the afternoon of our trip, the rain did not dampen our spirits. Baku was an exceptional travel guide throughout our amazing journey. Our sincere thanks to Baku and our driver for a memorable experience. We hope to return to beautiful Hokkaido in the future.
Amazing trip with an amazing guide, Baku! Would recommend to anyone and the places we have visited were just beautiful!
Andy is one of the coolest guides I have met so far and he made the trip super enjoyable. There was another guide accompanying him who I don’t know the name for but he was super funny and took great photos. I did the Biei course in late may and the flowers had just started blooming. If I had to give a suggestion I’d say keep more time at that flower farm so the Alpaca Experience can be included as well. Other than that the trip was 10/10. If you are coming to Hokkaido for more than 5 days then you can add this to your itinerary to experience countryside Japan. But before you do this make sure
We had a great experience. Baku, our guide was helpful and informative, and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Travelling in July or August would give you the best chance to see the flowers in season.
Loved this trip. The bus was spacious and our guide Baku was very nice, spoke great English, and gave us lots of food recommendations for lunch, as well as in Sapporo and Tokyo. Even with the overcast day we had and it being a little early in the season, we still had a great time. My only recommendation would be if you have the chance, go a little later in the summer so the grass has had time to grow back and the flower fields can be in full bloom. Overall though, I think the trip was great bang for your buck.
Baku was a lovely tour guide, he’s very caring and really knows the way around, the best spot for lunch, good recommendation. He knows the surrounding, very effective and productive. Informative and really knows what we need. The other 2 girls are very loving and fun with their positive energy. We were also blessed with a good weather.
