Embark on an Unforgettable Journey

Start your day with a convenient pickup at Sapporo Station North Exit Group Bus Stop where you will meet the expert guides. Brace yourself for an extraordinary adventure along the Hokkaido Biei Sky Highway, a 2.5-kilometer elevated road that offers breathtaking panoramic views of the region. This road, known as the Roller Coaster Road, boasts dramatic elevation changes, giving you the feeling of riding a roller coaster as you traverse it. With majestic mountains on both sides and vast countryside scenery, it's one of Furano's renowned 8 scenic spots.

Discover Hokkaido's Natural Wonders

Next, reach the iconic Biei Blue Pond, a natural wonder formed by volcanic lava flow. In the morning sunlight, the water appears even purer and bluer, creating a sight that takes your breath away. This Blue Pond was famously captured by National Geographic photographer Kent Shiraishi, making it one of the most photogenic spots in the world. Delight your taste buds with a delectable buffet lunch and Hokkaido ice cream, setting you up for the next leg of your adventure.

Afterward, head to the Shikisai-no-Oka, or the Hill of Four Seasons (Mon, Wed, Fri, and Sun) This vast 15-hectare flower field resembles a colorful rainbow carpet, with various flowers blooming throughout the year. Alternatively, you'll visit Farm Tomita in Furano on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Your next stop is the Furano Farm Tomita, one of Japan's oldest flower fields, showcasing up to 150 different types of flowers. Depending on the season, you'll witness saffron, daffodils, tulips, lavender, and more. Don't miss the panoramic views of the Furano Basin and the Tokachi Mountain Range from the top of the lavender-covered field. The final stop takes you to Ningle Terrace, a forest handicraft workshop inspired by Japanese author Tomonori Ware's novel.
