    Great Driver made the experience Better!beautiful flowers !!!

    Our driver Kenny was really great, very helpful took us directly to the ticket booths and informed us of each meet up time. Let us listen to our own music on Bluetooth too. We enjoyed our visit and it would have been even better if the weather was better.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for using our service. Please note that the tour may be affected by weather conditions depending on the season, so please check the latest information and change the date and time if necessary.

    Parks visit from Sapporo

    The parks we visited were outstanding, way better than our expectations. It took over 3 hours from Sapporo but well worth the visit. Driver Kenny was super friendly and a careful driver. We all enjoyed the rides

    Response from the operator: Thank you for using our service. Although it took some time to travel around Hokkaido, we are sure you were able to make the journey comfortably as it was a private car.

    Takinoue Park lives up to...

    Takinoue Park lives up to my expectations, even though not full bloomed the flowers are beautiful and since it's 7 May, a lot of the cherry blossom trees still have beautiful flowers. Lunch was a disappointment, no fault of the driver, Kenny, at all. Viator should have known that most seafood restaurants at the Nonbetsu area are closed on Wednesday. Greatest disappointment came from Kamiyubetsu Tulip Park which was not really opened, we just walked in and the tulips looked like just planted, some don't even have flower buds. There were merely a dozen or so of blooming tulips in pots. There was no conservatory that can at least let us look at some plants, cafes not opened. Viator should have known all these. We paid nearly USD600 for this tour excluding lunch, I feel that we should be compensated with some refund

    Response from the operator: We are sorry that we could not give you a special experience. We had sent a message to inform you of the current flowering situation and that cancellation was possible, but although Shibazakura Takinoue Park and Kamiyubetsu Tulip Park both reported that the flowers were in bloom, the situation was not satisfactory. The seafood restaurant is closed on irregular days, and although the information said it was open, needed to double check beforehand. We will take this seriously and do our best to improve as much as possible.

    Can I cancel or reschedule [Shibazakura / Tulip] Going by private car, Shibazakura Takinoue Park and Kamiyubetsu Tulip Park (from Sapporo)?

    +

    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.

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early.

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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    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?

    +
