Taxi tour around Asahikawa, Biei, and Furano
Why do we recommend sightseeing taxi?
When visiting Asahikawa, Biei, or even Furano, we recommend using a sightseeing taxi for efficient sightseeing.
Japan is a small country, but Hokkaido boasts the largest land area in Japan.
The city of Sapporo alone extends as far as Tokyo, Kanagawa, Chiba, Saitama, and Ibaraki prefecture.
Driving a car is sometimes dangerous if you are not familiar with the area, and taking a train or bus will take a lot of timeg, and you will be exhausted.
Also, if you are planning to visit Asahikawa and Biei, you definitely should visit not only major sightseeing spots in guidebooks but also “locals’ favorite spots”.
Sightseeing taxi is definitely helpful because you will have local taxi drivers who are very familiar with local spots.
We strongly recommends you to take a sightseeing taxi!
Advantages of sightseeing taxi
■Just choose a course and you can visit spots efficiently.
When planning a travel of Hokkaido, some people often make a plan to go to Hakodate and Furano within 2 days, but you need at least 4 days to enjoy those 2 cities.
It is not easy to find out which order to go, which spots to see, and at what time to go if you don’t know the area.
Sightseeing taxi is the solution to all of these problems.
Moreover, there are a wide variety of courses, so you can choose which sights to visit and which activities to do!
Recommendation
■No stress of traveling even in bad weather
After all, Hokkaido is the prefecture with the largest land area in Japan.
Of course, the transportation network is well developed, but there are times when there is only one train service per hour, and buses often take too long to get around.
Of course, both buses and trains can be cheap and convenient, but some people say that it is difficult to use considering the limited time of a trip.
Furthermore, if it rains during your trip, you will be in trouble again.
Shoes and socks get wet from the rain, the wind is strong and you cannot enjoy the scenery, and often your sightseeing trip is ruined by bad weather.
A sightseeing taxi will take you to the spots that everyone wants to see, so you can use your precious travel time in the most efficient and comfortable way.
■Everyone can enjoy sightseeing without hesitation
Japan is a country with a slightly unique culture, and people are often asked not to make noise on trains and buses.
Even if you travel with your family or friends with rent-a-car, drivers may not be able to enjoy the scenery because they need to focus on driving in a foreign country.
Sightseeing taxi allows up to 9 passengers, so you don’t have to worry about this.
■The driver is your private tour guide
If you are going on a tour with a large group, you will have a guide, but sometimes it is difficult to ask questions, isn’t it?
With sightseeing taxi, you will have local driver who are familiar with things that are not mentioned in the guidebooks, and you can easily ask questions without worrying about other people.
*They are not fluent in English, but will try to communicate with translate gadgets, so please enjoy it too!
Having a guide you can ask questions to will make your travel experience even more intense.
Choose a course from a list of famous places and cities.
A variety of courses are available, so please choose one based on the spots you wish to see.
We have 8-hour course that gives you plenty of time to explore, and also a 2-hour course that is short but allows you to see a variety of things, making it easy to adjust your schedule.
Here is a part of the schedule to give you an idea of how you will actually spend your time.
