Top Sapporo Bus Tours - page 6

Most Hokkaido summer trips force a choice: a one-day rush to Furano lavender, or a separate run to the Biei Blue Pond, or another tour for Ningle Terrace at dusk. This two-day route covers all three at a pace that lets you actually take them in — and bundles an overnight at a Sounkyo Onsen hot-spring hotel most day tours simply skip. What you get for one bundled price: round-trip coach transport from Sapporo, a full bilingual local guide for both days, every attraction admission, hotel buffet breakfast and dinner, and a timed arrival at Ningle Terrace as its lanterns switch on. The itinerary flexes with the season — Farm Tomita's lavender peaks late June through mid-August, then swaps to Shikisai-no-oka's panoramic flower stripes, so summer departures stay floral all the way through. For travelers who prefer a zoo-free experience, the Day 1 Asahiyama Zoo stop is genuinely optional — just let your guide know at departure and wait at the coach instead.
