Shikisai no Oka

This tour is a 100/100! Here is why: - Perfect schedule: A 7:50 AM departure (instead of the usual 7:20 AM or 11:00 AM) gave us just enough time to get ready without rushing. - All highlights, zero filler: It covers the must-see spots without wasting time. Thanks to their unique itinerary timing, we also avoided crowds at places like the Herb Garden and Ningle Terrace. - Ample lunch time: We enjoyed a full hour for lunch, unlike the rushed 20–30 minutes other companies offer. It was perfect for a relaxing meal. - Excellent communication: The organizers responded to my pre-trip questions almost instantly all within a minute. I needed to clarify their age policies, and they were incredibly helpful. - Fantastic driver: Our driver, Toshi, was friendly, spoke excellent English, and kept the schedule and meeting times very clear. - Van rather than bus made getting around much easier

Visiting in mid-July, every attraction was crowded. Shikisai-no-oka boasts a variety of flowers; visiting around midday, although hot, the sunlight was perfect for photos. I recommend walking in without a tow truck. The souvenir selection here was the most abundant of the day, though it's a pity we didn't have time to explore more. The time spent at Blue Pond and Shirahige Falls was just right. Remember to buy a soda ice cream and take a photo by the pond before it melts, then enjoy it while admiring the blue lake. The afternoon sunlight wasn't as strong, so the photos didn't have high contrast. At Farm Tomita, be sure to try the cantaloupe and pineapple bread. Lavender products are generally similar, but the shop near the cantaloupe bread has some unique souvenirs. The lavender fields weren't as dense or as purple as they appeared, perhaps due to the reduced sunlight, but strolling through the fields was still very pleasant. The guide's explanations in Chinese were quite good; having a general idea of the destination before getting off the bus made the visit easier. Also, be sure to cooperate with time management. Finally, we returned to Sapporo Station close to 7 pm.
