Sakaimachi ture

It was a fantastic day tour filled with wonderful itineraries and lasting memories👍 The guide (Andy) led the schedule smoothly without a single hitch, and it would be a true pleasure to meet him again in the future💕 He provided kind guidance in both English and Korean, comfortably leading the tour without any complicated or tangled schedules. The Hill of Buddha was truly beautiful with the Moai statues, expansive lawns, blue skies, and lush cedar scenery even without the lavender, making me think how much more wonderful it would be when the lavender blooms, inspiring me to want to visit again during lavender season👏👏👏 The Otaru Canal, Hokkaido Jingu Shrine, and Shiroi Koibito itineraries were all fulfilling. Although the 30-minute free time at Shiroi Koibito was a bit short, there were many pretty souvenirs, so I quickly grabbed a magnet, a handkerchief, and chocolates.🤭 He offered a complimentary printing service of one preferred photo for those interested among the participants, so I requested a photo of my husband and me at the Hill of Buddha taken by Andy. The printed photo can be used as a bookmark, which made me feel happy thinking it will vividly bring back the joy of the trip even after it has ended🥰 Andy is the best for guiding us so well to create wonderful memories 💯👍👍👍👍 Thank you so much for today. If we meet again next time, it will be such a welcome and reassuring sight👏👏👏 Thank you, Andy😊

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.

Jeg bookede primært denne tur, fordi jeg gerne ville besøge Cape Kamui, som ikke er let at nå med offentlig transport. At se det berømte Shakotan Blue på en klar dag var absolut prisen og den lange rejse værd. Den ekstra bonus var at få Shakotan-kysten at se, besøge Otaru og stoppe ved Shiroi Koibito Park på den samme dag. Som forventet var tidsplanen ret stram, men det er forståeligt i betragtning af de lange afstande, vi skulle tilbagelægge, og det antal steder, der var inkluderet i rejseplanen. Vores guide, Cici, var behagelig og hjælpsom. Jeg følte dog, at turen kunne have været mere informativ. Hun leverede oversættelser på japansk og kinesisk og læste de engelske beskrivelser op fra sine noter, men der var ikke meget yderligere interessant information eller historiefortælling om de steder, vi besøgte. Lidt mere baggrundsviden, lokalhistorie eller interessante fakta ville have gjort oplevelsen mere engagerende.

Vi nød denne tur, da vi kom til at besøge mange steder, og rejselederen er sød. Jeg vil helt klart anbefale at tage med på denne tur.

It’s a good tour to explore the West part of Hokkaido. Last half of the tour would require hiking and lots of stairs to climb. Just letting travelers with young kids/elderly know in advance.

Vi nød virkelig turen til Hell Valley, Lake Toya og Otaru. Vores turguide var meget venlig, professionel og hensynsfuld. Han forklarede detaljeret historien om Hokkaido og alle de naturskønne steder. Vi bookede tre ture via Klook. Vi må sige, at sammenlignet med andre turguider i andre turgrupper havde denne turguide fremragende sprogfærdigheder i engelsk, kinesisk og japansk. Og vi bemærkede også, at under vores tur var der kun én besøgende fra Spanien, der havde brug for engelsk tolkning. For ikke at forstyrre de andre besøgende gik han om på bagerste række, satte sig sammen med ham og tolkede for ham. Andre ting, der imponerede os meget, var de mange forskellige spilledåser og den dampende Hell Valley. Forresten, vi kommer helt sikkert tilbage til Hokkaido om vinteren igen.

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.
