Reviews
I was skeptical about what it would be like because there were almost no reviews in Korean, but I was very satisfied. While traveling by bus, each person wears a headset and listens to the audio guide, so the overall process is calm and quiet. I highly recommend it to introverts. However, the notice to change the meeting location was not properly emphasized, so I almost couldn't get on the bus. The fact that there is a foreign language audio guide means that foreigners can also receive it, but I was left wondering if the event explanation could have been more in line with international standards.
Very happy to be able to see very beautiful and relaxing sceneries & views during this trip. My mom (74yo) really enjoyed it and very very happy. The tour is quite relaxing and not rushing. Can sit and enjoy the view of Mt. Showa - Mt Usu calmly without having to jostle with other tour members. The lunch also super yummy. Thank you every one for everything
Very relaxing day tour. And the traditional Japanese lunch by a lakeside hotel is a plus! Note: if you are a good hiker, you can actually hike a bite to get a closer look to mt. Usu crater.
The pre-recorded introduction to attractions in different languages is like a live tour, and all the selection instructions are carried out smoothly under the extremely experienced arrangement; the timing of arranging the attractions is just right. I didn’t expect that Showa Shinzan and Usuyama Cable Car Extension are so beautiful, and dining at Toya Lakeside Restaurant It’s delicious, what an exquisite itinerary!
There is no need to say more about the one-day trip itinerary, everyone has published it. This time I will just tell you the ticket exchange location is the same as the boarding location. I hope it will be easier for everyone to understand next time you join this one-day tour.
Although the tour guide is in Japanese, there is a Chinese audio guide, and the explanation of Hokkaido is detailed and interesting. The tour guide Isobe and the driver are very kind. Lunch was unexpectedly rich and delicious. A very recommended itinerary.
The service was very good and the driver drove well. Hope to participate again.
A great value for money group🥰The most unforgettable thing is having a delicious and exquisite lunch at the shore of Lake Toya🥰It doesn’t look like a group meal at all
Although it is a group meal, the meals are exquisite and the price/performance ratio is very high. It is a good choice for those who are not traveling by car
The itinerary is very rich and there is enough time to go around. The Toya Tei lunch is delicious and the lake view is very beautiful. There is electricity, Wi-Fi, and five-country tour guides along the way. The quiet, comfortable and listenable commentary is highly recommended for this itinerary
