Things to do in Otaru

Used on December 22, 2025. It was snowy and cold at Mt. Tengu that day, so wear warm clothes. There is only one ticket window, so you will need to queue and wait. After receiving your ticket, you will also need to queue to take the cable car to the top of the mountain. You can enjoy the night view in the restaurant inside, and it's very exciting to see the mountains of accumulated snow!

The trip departed on time. Tour guide Oscar can speak well in different languages and explains everything to all participants. I had fun during thr Bibai Snowland tour, 1.5H is enough to enjoy the area. We also had enough time to have lunch and stroll around Otaru. Due to traffic, we only have 15 mins to take pictures in Shiroi Koibita Park. It was okay as initially it was cancelled but last minute decision was made by driver to continue with the last destination with tight schedule.

I especially love tour guide Xixi!!! Although it was our first time meeting today, I felt particularly close to her. When I ran out of cash during the trip, tour guide Xixi thoughtfully helped me exchange it so I could eat without worry. She helped us take beautiful photos at Lake Toya and patiently explained every scenic spot along the way, telling us about local specialties and where to buy them more affordably. Overall, today's experience was great!!

Really had fun on this tour! We joined the day before leaving Sapporo, and it was the perfect winter send-off. The peaceful atmosphere at the Hill of the Buddha and the Moai statues, the picturesque views in Jozankei and Otaru, and the sweet finale at Shiroi Koibito made the whole day feel beautifully well-rounded. Our tour guide, Hikaru, made it even more enjoyable—he was pleasant, always smiling, and genuinely cheerful despite the challenging weather. There was a slight delay in the morning pickup due to heavy snow, road conditions, and traffic, and he even gave each group little goodies as a “late gift,” even though it wasn’t his fault at all. If you get Hikaru on your tour, you’re in great hands!

Facilities: Complete Instructors: Many thanks to Instructor Xie for his guidance. He is very professional and takes great care of each student. Also, Instructor Li and Instructor Zhou take good care of each student as well. Thank you so much for giving me a pleasant memory! Location: Asarigawa Onsen Ski Resort, Otaru Experience: 101 points Safety: Instructor Xie will assess whether students are suitable to go up the mountain to ski. His instruction is very professional, allowing students to go up and down the mountain together. He also helps us record videos and take photos. Thank you very much! 😊

first of all, I would like to commend ms lisa for all her hard work that made us enjoy our trip. she made sure to send us a message so she can monitor us. i like her system, where she gathers us per family. it was very efficient. i have joined a lot of klook tours already but she was the most organized. our bibai tour was incredible! i just wish that we had more time to enjoy :( 2hrs was just enough but a little short as we are having a lot of fun. we separately paid a 5km snowmobile experience (12k [1person] | 15k [2persons]). otaru was crowded and packed with a lot of other tourists too; parking was also a bit of a walk to get back to. we just ate lunch and bought some sweets. i would like to suggest an option for packed lunch or set meal prepared in a resto to cut time on searching for a lunch meal so the guests could experience Bibai more. one family even opt to be left there as it was really fun in Bibai. 😆shiroi koibito is just okay. great for taking photos. there was a long line for the ice cream so we just left.

it was a great experience especially for a first timer to learn how to ski. our coach Andue was very patient and was very helpful during our lesson. it was so fun and wanting to come back again.

Thanks Klook for offering affordable tours, this is my first time using Klook and will definitely use it again as my experience with Klook is great! The reminder message received from or guide Ms Lily Lee before the tour has set my heart at ease. My husband and I enjoyed the entire 1-day Hokkiado Cape Kamui, Otaru, tour led by a very friendly, knowledgeable & bubbly guide Lily. Her information and announcements were very clear both in English and Chinese (she could speak Japanese fluently too). Her smiling & happy face made me feel happy too! She is attentive and helpful, giving us lots of tips and guidance, thanks Lily💕Hope we‘ll meet again!

so far not bad but quite expensive compared with other operator. but overall okay. thanks
