A one-day art and nature tour of Biei and Furano, Hokkaido, Japan | Kan Yasuda Sculpture Museum, Blue Pond, Biei Town, Shirahige Falls, Furano (departing from Sapporo)

The tour guide, Yagyu, was excellent; it was a fantastic Hokkaido trip. I will definitely book this tour again next time.

Excellent! Thumbs up! ...

The scenery is beautiful, and the itinerary is quite compact, making it very convenient for day trip travelers.

Although it wasn't the peak season for Hokkaido, the vast natural landscapes perfectly matched my initial impression of the region. I chose this itinerary primarily because the locations are quite far apart; a multi-day road trip would be ideal, but for a day trip, a tour group is a good option. Also, the Yasuda Kan Sculpture Museum is a relatively niche destination! However, the reuse of abandoned school buildings is very appealing, and after visiting, I felt it was definitely worthwhile. As for the Blue Pond and Shirahige Falls, they need no introduction—they are must-see attractions. So even without the backdrop of flower fields and snow, the tranquility with fewer crowds allowed me to fully enjoy the beauty. I also want to thank our tour leader, Ms. Yagyu, and our hardworking driver for their explanations and care throughout the trip; they truly cared for every member of the group without favoritism. Thank you so much! 😊

Although it rained during the day, the rain subsided as we arrived at the attractions, which was very fortunate. From the art museum at the beginning to Biei Station, Blue Pond and other places, the scenery was beautiful. The driver was very skilled and drove very smoothly. The car was warm and cozy, so we could enjoy the scenery and relax as soon as we got in. Highly recommended.

Aside from the Blue Pond in Biei, the other attractions on the itinerary are relatively off-the-beaten-path, especially the Yasuda Kan Sculpture Museum, which is difficult to reach unless you're traveling by car. The museum is tranquil and the sculptures blend seamlessly with the surroundings, making it worth taking your time to appreciate.

It was a very lucky trip. There were only 17 people in the whole group, so the seats were not crowded. The tour guide was very good in Japanese and Chinese. He tried his best to introduce the route. When we arrived at the destination, he also emphasized the meeting time and place and reminded us to go to the toilet. The stay time was also very good!

It's a pity that the weather was bad. I was very satisfied with the place. Fortunately, I saw snow for the first time. I was very happy.

The tour guide Shao and the driver were very good! The content of this new route is also very popular. It is really great to be able to walk around the town of Biei for 80 minutes! I am very satisfied with the whole trip and will recommend it to other friends. I also want to continue to participate in kkday's itinerary in the future❤️
