An absolute must-do for an efficient and memorable Hokkaido day trip. The Blue Pond provided a moment of serene, otherworldly beauty, and Ningle Terrace was the perfect, cozy finale.
A Fantastic Day!

The Asahiyama Zoo is a must-see. The penguin walk and underwater seal tunnel were incredible. The Blue Pond was a stunning, quick photo stop, and Ningle Terrace was a charming, magical end to the day. The tour was well-paced and took all the stress out of transportation. Highly recommended for anyone who loves unique animal encounters and beautiful scenery.

A perfect, efficient day trip. Loved the famous penguins at the amazing Asahiyama Zoo. The Blue Pond was even more beautiful in person. Finishing at the cozy, illuminated Ningle Terrace felt like a fairy tale. Great for those without a car who want to see these highlights. Well-organized and a wonderful experience.
Cute animals

My friend and I went, but unfortunately, we missed the penguin show in November. However, the other animals at the zoo were very cute. We also saw beautiful village scenery. I highly recommend this trip, and it's best to visit in December.
A nice trip

I joined this small group tour with my boyfriend 2 months ago. We were so lucky that the flowers were so beautiful on that day. And we eat melons of local. A nice trip!
Perfect Trip!!

Just got back from the Hokkaido lavender tour and OMG it was gorgeous! The driver was super nice and the van was really comfortable. He wasn't a guide, but he made sure we had enough time at each spot and even helped us take some photos! Farm Tomita was incredible, the lavender fields and the smell were just amazing. The Blue Pond is even more magical in real life. Lunch was a proper Japanese meal, really tasty! There's quite a bit of driving, but the views are so beautiful it didn't even matter. Just bring a jacket because it gets windy! All in all, Perfect day if you want to see the famous sights without worrying about transportation. 10/10 would recommend!
Perfect!

I joined this day tour Since I had previously purchased this company's airport transfer service and found their service to be excellent, I decided to join this day tour. I was very satisfied with the itinerary, which also included a buffet lunch and melon, making it a wonderful trip!
