Otaru Canal ট্যুর

My wife and I booked this as we really wanted to see the Hill of the Buddha and Otaru but we're worried we wouldn't fit it all in if we did it ourselves. This tour fit the requirements perfectly, gave us plenty of time in each location and the transfers were spot on. Sei, our guide was excellent throughout, giving us useful information about the tour and each of the places we visited. he gave us plenty of recommendations for snacks and where to eat for lunch too. In summary, a really enjoyable side quest from Sapporo.

Guide Jay conducted the tour in three languages. Extremely knowledgeable, he told us about scenic spots, local delicacies and souvenirs. All attractions were well worth visiting, and the scenery at Otaru Port was also beautiful.

The itinerary was well-planned, not too rushed and not too slow. My favorite part was the first stop, the Hill of the Buddha. Our guide, Hikaru, was very nice and impressively fluent in Japanese, Chinese, and English 👍. If you enjoy architecture, nature, and history, I highly recommend this route.

The schedule for this trip was very well organized, with appropriate time allocated for each attraction. The tour guide, Xiao Liao, provided prompt reminders and warm, professional service, communicating very well in Chinese, English, and Japanese. By the way, participants can choose between the Yoichi Distillery and the fruit-picking orchard based on their preferences, and the driver will pick everyone up individually.

Thank you so much for the wonderful tour today! We were blessed with clear skies and saw so many beautiful sights, which was truly moving. The Blue Grotto tour, in particular, was a lot of fun! All the places we wanted to visit were included, and the schedule went smoothly, making for a very fulfilling sightseeing experience. Kevin's friendly and attentive service created a great atmosphere, and we even enjoyed the travel time. Thanks to Hong's fluent Japanese, we felt completely at ease throughout the tour. Even though it was an English and Chinese tour, they were very attentive to us, and we truly appreciate it. If we have another opportunity, we would love to use your services again!

আমার গাইড, রি, অত্যন্ত তথ্যবহুল এবং মনোযোগী ছিলেন। তিনি ইংরেজি এবং মান্দারিন উভয় ভাষাতেই কথা বলতে পারেন। ৬ জন অপরিচিত ব্যক্তির জন্য আমাদের একটি ১৩ আসনের ভ্যান দেওয়া হয়েছিল। আমার আঘাতপ্রাপ্ত পায়ের সুবিধার জন্য তিনি সামনের আসনটির ব্যবস্থা করে দিয়েছিলেন। তিনি নিজ উদ্যোগে আমাদের ছবি তুলে দিয়েছেন। যদিও প্রতিটি স্টপে ভ্রমণের সময় বেশ কম ছিল, তবে সৌভাগ্যবশত ভিড়ের মৌসুম না থাকায় প্রতিটি স্থানের বেশিরভাগ জায়গা ঘুরে দেখা সম্ভব হয়েছে। পুরো ভ্রমণ জুড়ে, তিনি আমাদের হোক্কাইডোর ইতিহাস এবং প্রতিটি জায়গার বিস্তারিত সম্পর্কে ধারণা দিয়েছেন। একটু খারাপ লেগেছে এই ভেবে যে, নোবোরিবিত্সুতে পাহাড় উঁচুতে উঠতে না পারার কারণে আমি ওইনুমা পুকুরটি দেখতে পারিনি। লেক টয়ায় বোকা দই এবং রির সুপারিশকৃত গুয়ারানা (হোক্কাইডোর কোকা কোলা) আমার খুব ভালো লেগেছে। বিয়ার র‍্যাঞ্চে বাদামী ভালুকের ছানাগুলো খুব সুন্দর ছিল। ওতারুতে, ভিড়ের কারণে বিখ্যাত মিষ্টি (লেতাও, রোক্কুসেই, রিউগেতসু) কেনার সময় পাওয়া যায়নি (তবে এই সমস্ত ব্র্যান্ডের জিনিস সপ্পোরো স্টেশনে পাওয়া যায়)। ওতারু ক্যানেল, কিতাচি গ্লাস, মিউজিক বক্স মিউজিয়াম এবং মিফি পোর্ট টাউন (বিশেষভাবে শুধু ওতারুর জন্য ডিজাইন করা জিনিসপত্র) ঘুরে দেখা হয়েছে।

We had a fantastic trip visiting Shakotan Blue, the Otaru Canal, and Shiroi Koibito Park. Our tour guide, Hong, was exceptional—his communication regarding meeting points and tour expectations was always clear and well-organized. I was particularly impressed by his ability to fluently speak Korean, English, and Chinese, effortlessly catering to the diverse nationalities in our group. Highly recommended!

Mainly booked this tour because I wanted to visit Cape Kamui, which is not easy to reach by public transport. Seeing the famous Shakotan Blue on a clear day was absolutely worth the price and the long journey. The added bonus was getting to see the Shakotan Coast, visit Otaru, and stop at Shiroi Koibito Park all in the same day. As expected, the schedule was quite tight, but this is understandable given the long distances we had to cover and the number of places included in the itinerary. Our guide, Cici, was pleasant and helpful. However, I felt the tour could have been more informative. She provided translations in Japanese and Chinese and read the English descriptions from her notes, but there wasn't much additional interesting information or storytelling about the places we visited. A little more background, local history, or interesting facts would have made the experience more engaging.
