Refreshing tour
It was really fun for us and the arrangement is good in order and timely. We would pay a visit to Hokkaido using your Viator.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for such a great review. We are pleased to know that you had a wonderful time and glad to know our staff could support you well to make your trip memorable. We would very much appreciate if you could choose our tours again when you travel to Japan. Sincerely,

English is limited, service is good.
It is actually a Japanese-speaking tour. There is an English assistant. Their English are very limited. They have tried very hard to help the English speaking tourists. The itinerary is good, the service is good. There is no any other options because this is the only tour accept English-speaker tourist.

Furano and Blue Pond
The tour was very good. The highlight was the Blue Pond and the flower field which was beautiful and amazing! The length of the tour was too long and going to the viewing site with the ferris wheel and visiting Furano Marche could have been omitte. This would have cut out about 2 hours and gotten us back at a better hour for dinner. Overall, we covered a lot of places which would have been difficult had we tried to do it on our own.

You can make great pictures
This tour is worth it. If you had a rent a car you have to pay a toll gate fee and it’s such a long drive. Taking a bus tour is much better. Visiting lavender farm in July must be perfect to see fully bloomed flowers. We went there in late June but couldn’t see lots of flowers. Blue pons is beautiful. There is a sidewalk along with the pond. Better picture point is at the corner. Just walk down to avoid a crowd at first spot. You’ll find a better spot shortly.
Response from the operator: We appreciate your great review. As you mentioned, since our tour is a bus tour, participants can enjoy their trip without any tiredness from driving (and save a bit of money!) We have a wide variety of tours for each season so we wish to offer our tours for you again when you will return to Japan! Sincerely,

good tour conductor
the overall tour was well organised although arrangement at the meeting point was a bit sloppy due to many operators sharing the same reception area. the conductor was particularly commendable for her great attitude, energy and patience. her English was not perfect but she really put an effort to communicate to non-Japanese clients. lunch (onigiri) was a bit disappointing but the light dinner (chicken burger) was good. the bus could have been better equipped eg. with wifi and power sockets.

Hokkaido Furano Lavender Farm and Blue Pond Day Trip from Sapporo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sapporo.
How much does Hokkaido Furano Lavender Farm and Blue Pond Day Trip from Sapporo cost?
+
Prices start at $59 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 Furano Lavender Farm and Blue Pond Day Trip from Sapporo take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Furano Lavender Farm and Blue Pond Day Trip from Sapporo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 6 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 Furano Lavender Farm and Blue Pond Day Trip from Sapporo?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Hokkaido Furano Lavender Farm and Blue Pond Day Trip from Sapporo suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hokkaido Furano Lavender Farm and Blue Pond Day Trip from Sapporo?
+
Around 2 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hokkaido Furano Lavender Farm and Blue Pond Day Trip from Sapporo 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.
What are the best things to do in Sapporo?
+
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.
