Our Philosophy
- We serve with bright smiles and a heart of gratitude.
- We embrace challenges with passion and initiative.
- We believe that honest work builds trust.
- We maintain safe vehicles through well-planned and unhurried operations.
As a public transportation provider, we recognize our responsibility to ensure the highest level of safety.
We are committed to strict safety management, thorough vehicle inspections and maintenance, and detailed operational guidelines tailored to each route.
Through continuous training and supervision, we take every possible measure to prevent traffic accidents and ensure safe transportation for all passengers.
Our Business
From spring through autumn (April–November), we operate charter sightseeing buses across Hokkaido.
During the winter months (December–March), when general tourism decreases, we shift our focus to snow removal and snow clearing services.
At the same time, our buses continue running in winter for ski transfers, school ski trips, and inbound tours for overseas visitors.

Message from the President
President & Representative Director
Jungo Munekata
Dream Sightseeing Bus Co., Ltd. operates primarily as a charter bus company, serving Hokkaido’s tourism industry—one of the region’s most important sectors.
In recent years, transportation companies are expected not only to ensure safety, but also to maintain strict operational management, driver health oversight, and full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. As professionals entrusted with the lives of our passengers, we take this responsibility with the utmost seriousness.
To provide safe, enjoyable, and comfortable bus journeys, we believe that continuous effort is essential. Each employee is encouraged to think independently and act proactively, always considering how we can best satisfy our customers.
Hokkaido offers breathtaking beauty throughout the seasons—lush green landscapes in spring, vibrant summer blooms, fiery autumn foliage, and the pure white world of snow and ice in winter, along with the rich flavors of each season. These experiences are beyond words.
Every day, somewhere across Hokkaido, our buses are on the road—sharing not only transportation, but the joy of travel itself.
We sincerely appreciate your continued support and guidance, and we look forward to growing together with our community in the years ahead.
Logo Design
