Great 1 day tour to Blue Pond💧, farms👩🏻🌾👨🏻🌾 / flower fields💐, waterfalls💧Furano melon eating 🍈, lunch buffet w/ area food specialties 😋. Sophia was a great tour guide, speaking English, Mandarin, & Japanese! She even recharged my phone when it ran out of power! I would do this tour again & would recommend it to any first time visitor.

Guide (Sofia) was great!...
Guide (Sofia) was great! Learned a lot about area, personable and helpful every step of the way. Clean instructions on what to expect and when to return to bus. Loved the visual times instead of just telling us the time! Gave great suggestions on where to shop, eat while in the city. Loved it!!

Wonderful Tour and a wonderful tour guide if you get Rita!!!
This was a great trip with a lot of different sightseeing places that you can see in one day. The places we went to were beautiful, but even better it was our tour guide Rita. She was a lot of fun, very informative and always showed us where the restrooms were and advised the last stop before the ride home to ensure that we used the restroom. We have travelled the world and have never had a wonderful a tour guide as Rita. You can tell she enjoys her job because it shows through her smile and what she does. I wish Rita did all of the tours we are on.

Even with our big group...
Even with our big group of 14 the tour kept everyone engaged. We really enjoyed our time with Rita and will book again if ever make it back to Hokkaido in the future.

Hokkaido Biei Blue Pond Furano Flower Farm Ningle Terrace Trip: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sapporo.
How much does Hokkaido Biei Blue Pond Furano Flower Farm Ningle Terrace Trip cost?
+
Prices start at $98 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sapporo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Hokkaido Biei Blue Pond Furano Flower Farm Ningle Terrace Trip take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sapporo is not rushed.
Is Hokkaido Biei Blue Pond Furano Flower Farm Ningle Terrace Trip worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Sapporo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hokkaido Biei Blue Pond Furano Flower Farm Ningle Terrace Trip?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Hokkaido Biei Blue Pond Furano Flower Farm Ningle Terrace Trip suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hokkaido Biei Blue Pond Furano Flower Farm Ningle Terrace Trip?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sapporo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sapporo and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hokkaido Biei Blue Pond Furano Flower Farm Ningle Terrace Trip start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sapporo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

On Outty we rank every Sapporo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sapporo Bar Hopping Food Tour, Wagashi traditional japanese sweets class, Mondo's most popular No.1!Private experienceThe king of buckwheat noodles making and Japanese food in Sapporo!A plan to enjoy tempura!. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sapporo?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sapporo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
