Things to do in Shōwa-shinzan

Had a great tour with Catherine. Visiting Jigokudani, Showashinzan, and Lake Toya on a tour is convenient. The weather at the start of summer was also pleasant, so we had a great time. We didn't go up the Usuzan Ropeway so we thought the pace and timing were just right. We were also back in Sapporo downtime early.

This trip was excellent value for money. The itinerary was well-planned, allowing us to visit several of Hokkaido's most beautiful natural landmarks in one day without feeling rushed.

Leo was a great guide. Very friendly and always smiling. I’m very impressed that he can speak 3 languages- Japanese, English and Chinese.

The trip is worth it. There were so many lovely sceneries and memorable experiences that I don’t think I will forget anytime soon. It is also very convenient for those who do not drive or prefer not to walk too much, as the bus brings you comfortably to all the attractions. Kevin, our tour guide, was approachable and shared many interesting facts and bits of history about the places we were visiting. It made the journey more meaningful and enjoyable. Overall, a great trip that I would recommend.

Super recommended! Our guide, Leo, was a friendly, knowledgeable, multilingual king who oversaw our trip. He gave recommendations on what to buy and where to eat, and gave interesting facts about the itinerary destinations, so he was very helpful! The itinerary was perfect, with enough time to explore and take pictures, or eat and buy things at each stop. Our driver, Fujisan, also drove our trip smoothly. The bus was also comfortable. While it rained on the latter part of our trip, we thoroughly enjoyed it and had fun!

The itinerary was rich and well-paced, allowing us to visit Hakodate's main attractions. Our guide, Leo, was incredibly thoughtful, arranging hotel pick-ups and helping us take photos. He was very attentive!

We were incredibly lucky to have tour guide Hikaru Huang again for our Hokkaido trip, and the overall experience truly exceeded our expectations! From the initial meeting to the end of the day's itinerary, Hikaru was exceptionally professional and attentive. He managed time perfectly, ensuring the schedule was smooth and unhurried, yet we still visited all the key attractions without wasting any time. We also loved his recommendations for local delicacies, such as yogurt and ice cream, which were all memorable and absolutely hit the spot! The overall atmosphere was very relaxed and stress-free. He thoughtfully pointed out great photo opportunities and free time, which was very considerate. At the end of the trip, he even recommended a local yakiniku restaurant, which was absolutely delicious! 👍🏻 This wasn't just a sightseeing tour; it felt more like a trip where we were genuinely well taken care of. If we visit Hokkaido again in the future, we will definitely choose Hikaru Huang again and recommend him to our friends!

Had an amazing time with Eric and the tour. Timing was sufficient to cover for all the locations. Eric is clear with his instructions and gave very good food recommendations at all our locations.
