Coses per fer a 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.

Thank you for signing up for this meaningful trip. This journey allowed me to see many mountains and seas, and I can only admire Hokkaido's excellent ecological preservation. I saw so many beautiful sights in my lifetime. Hide diligently introduced the characteristics of each attraction throughout the trip and perfectly managed the time for each stop. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to visit so many places today. I also want to thank the other travelers for their patience, as the fifth stop, Cape Kamui, involved a longer walk than expected. Although Hide gave us plenty of time, I was the last one back to the car, exceeding the meeting time by five minutes. On the way back, Hide even shared recommendations for Sapporo's local cuisine, which was exactly what I was hoping for.

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 ✌️.

It was well planned and everything went smoothly. The guide was friendly and provided a lot of information during the trip. Sufficient time at Otaru, but insufficient time at Mt Moiwa to see the city light up. The highlight for me was Otaru and Jozankei!

Aquesta excursió ens va permetre veure moltes cares diferents de Hokkaido en un sol dia. Tot estava ben organitzat i l'itinerari es va seguir sense problemes durant tot el dia. El nostre guia turístic, en Jeremy, va ser increïblement útil i es va assegurar que tot es mantingués segons el previst. També va compartir excel·lents recomanacions de llocs per menjar, cosa que va millorar encara més l'experiència, ja que vam poder provar menjar local realment bo. En general, va ser una excursió molt agradable i memorable. Molt recomanable per a qualsevol que vulgui explorar aquestes belles destinacions de manera còmoda i eficient!

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.

My daughter and I had a wonderful time in this tour. Tour guide, Jay, was so nice. it would have been nice to see flowers in bloom at Shikisai but we understand it is not yet in season - but the views were still spectacular.
