Explore the beauty of Hokkaido on this relaxing bus tour that takes you to some of the region’s most famous sights. Start with a visit to Asahiyama Zoo, where you can watch animals up close in a natural-style setting. Be sure to catch “Mogumogu Time,” when zookeepers feed the animals and share fun facts about them. It’s a great chance to see the animals more active and learn about their behavior.

Next, enjoy scenic views from your bus window along Patchwork Road, known for its colorful farmland and well-known trees like the Seven Star Tree. You’ll also visit the magical Blue Pond in Biei, which has striking blue water that’s perfect for photos. Finally, stop by Farm Tomita, famous for its lavender and flower fields.

Beautiful day

It was a nice day, the ride was interesting with a morning at the zoo and the afternoon to see the Blue pond and the farm.

Hokkaido Trip

All in one day you can see 4 different places in Hokkaido. I especially love the Blue Pond (amazing site to see) and flowers (wonderful colors)in Tomita Farm. The tour guide did not tell us that the farm was beside the parking lot where we parked. I had to go back to the driver to ask. Time was wasted. The was just ok. I get to see some animals for the 1st time. The Ningle Terraces was just ok too. You get to experience nature. The aircon at one time is too hot that makes me have a headache. Overall the trip was great and made the trip to Hokkaido memorable. I went with my Family but not teens. I went with my Sisters. There was no option at the select part above so I have to mention it here
