Notice: Concerning Changes to the Content of the Hokkaido Panorama Road Course

We thank you for your continued support of the Hokkaido Chuo Bus Regular Sightseeing Bus. This course is normally operated using the multilingual audio guidance system. However, due to the impact of COVID-19, we expect a significant decrease in foreign tourists for the foreseeable future. For this reason, we will change our course content from the multilingual audio guidance course to a guided course with a tour guide who will provide an explanation of the sights in Japanese.
We regret any inconvenience this may cause our customers, and we hope you will understand.
