The big draw here is simple: you get far beyond Sapporo in one long day, reaching Biei’s turquoise Blue Pond, Furano’s flower farms, and the rolling fields along Roller Coaster Road. I especially like the wide range of scenery and the chance to visit both Shikisai-no-Oka and Farm Tomita without arranging several train and bus … Read more
The best part of this outing is the simple contrast: powder snow or autumn color at Sapporo Kokusai Ski Resort, followed by a hot bath at Hoheikyo Onsen. You get mountain scenery without arranging several trains, buses, and rental-car details yourself. I like the private vehicle for a group of up to three, especially when … Read more
The best part of this Furano outing is the setting: fresh powder in Daisetsuzan National Park, far from packed ski trails and resort crowds. You follow a local guide through a silent winter forest, look for fox tracks, and finish with a hot-spring soak at Hakuginso Onsen. I like the small maximum group of five … Read more
Asahiyama Zoo, Biei’s startling blue pond, and Furano’s little forest craft village make this a big day out from Sapporo. You get three very different sides of Hokkaido: close animal viewing, volcanic scenery, and handmade goods in a quiet woodland setting. I like the wide mix of sights and the included zoo ticket, which remove … Read more

You also get the striking blue water of Biei, the snowy spray of Shirahige Falls, and a woodland stop at Ningle Terrace. I like the unusual zoo enclosures and the … Read more

The best part of this 10-hour private trip is simple: you can cover the wide-open countryside of Furano and Biei without driving yourself. From Sapporo, the route reaches flower farms, rolling farm country, Blue Pond, and Shirahige Falls in one long but carefully timed day. I like the door-to-door pickup and the private vehicle. You … Read more
Hokkaido’s countryside is the star here: flower fields, Biei’s striking Blue Pond, famous roadside trees, and the wildlife displays at Asahiyama Zoo all fit into one long day from Sapporo. It is an efficient way to reach places that are awkward to combine by train and bus. I like the air-conditioned coach, which turns a … Read more
Asahiyama Zoo is the anchor of this long day, but the real pleasure is the changing scenery between Sapporo, Asahikawa, Biei, and Furano. You get animals, a blue-tinted pond, a rushing waterfall, and a small craft village without changing trains or deciphering rural bus schedules. I like the private car and the freedom it gives … Read more
