Какво да правите в Otaru

sunny was very helpful and knowledgeable. very pleasant day. lots of good inputs both for this trip and great eating options in sapporo. also gave all the flexibility we could have asked for. the bus ride was also comfortable. its a smallish mini van

The sights were gorgeous! I wished we had more time at Cape Kamui and less at Otaru. Our guide Oscar was just okay in his tour commentary, but he was very competent in coordinating the large tour group and ensuring that everyone was punctual, so I appreciate that.

Благодаря за това записване, беше смислено. Това пътуване ме отведе да видя много планини и морета и мога само да се възхищавам колко добре Хокайдо е опазил екологията си, което ми позволи да видя толкова много красиви пейзажи през живота си. Hide през цялото време представяше внимателно характеристиките на всяка забележителност и планираше времето за всяка от тях перфектно, иначе днес нямаше да можем да посетим толкова много места. Освен това искам да благодаря на останалите пътешественици за търпеливото чакане, защото петата спирка – нос Камуи – беше по-дълга за преход, отколкото си мислех, и въпреки че Hide ни даде достатъчно време, аз бях последният, който се върна в автобуса, с 5 минути закъснение от часа за събиране. На връщане Hide дори сподели препоръки за храна в Сапоро, които бяха точно по мой вкус.

Our tour guide, Sister Rourou, is beautiful and kind-hearted. The itinerary was perfectly arranged, balanced, and she was very responsible, making for an excellent experience! On the bus, she introduced us to the background and features of the attractions, showed us local Ezo deer we encountered and tulips blooming along the road, pointed out the beautiful snow-capped mountains to our friends from tropical regions, and reminded us to enjoy the Sea of Japan scenery along the way. She even woke us up before we arrived at each attraction, which was very thoughtful! The one-day trip allowed us to experience the essence of Otaru and its surrounding attractions. We saw the spectacular cliffs against the Sea of Japan at Cape Kamui; learned about the birth of Japanese whisky at the Yoichi Distillery; visited the filming locations for 'Love Letter' and 'First Love,' Temiya Park and Mount Tengu. At Temiya Park, we saw late-blooming cherry blossoms, with the cherry trees complementing the distant sea view. At sunset, we overlooked the city of Otaru from the summit of Mount Tengu. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't ideal today, with heavy fog. Walking through the Tengu Shrine in the misty fog had a unique charm. We wish Sister Rourou success in her career and studies, and abundant prosperity ✌️.

Беше добре планирано и всичко мина гладко. Екскурзоводът беше любезен и предостави много информация по време на пътуването. Достатъчно време в Отару, но недостатъчно време на връх Моива, за да видим как градът светва. Акцентът за мен бяха Отару и Джозанкей!

Hong has only been a tour guide for about half a year, but he is already very capable of sharing insights and fun facts about Hokkaido and the places we visited. He also recommended great photo spots, nice food, and good souvenir shops. He is good with multiple lanagues like Mandarin, English, Japanese, Korean and other dialects. I would also like to compliment Kevin, who was joining for on the job training. He took beautiful photos for everyone during the tour and was very friendly and engaging. I would love to return next winter and would definitely want to join either Hong’s or Kevin’s tour group again.
