A well-designed itinerary that allows just enough time to enjoy each destination without feeling too rushed. Our wonderful guide James speak three languages including Chinese and English. He's very attentive and helpful. The lavender is already gone in late September but the other flowers are still in bloom. 100% recommended!

The tour guide was truly wonderful and deserves 5 stars, but the itinerary arrangement was a bit poor. I am not sure if it was due to transportation needs or something else. The elf houses shown in the pictures are a night view, but we arrived during the day, which differed from the photos. Viewing the waterfall at night felt strange—it was completely deserted with just the headlights on. Adjusting the order of the itinerary would make it much better. As for the Rainbow Mountains, since there was no snow and no colors, that stop could simply be canceled as there is nothing to see.

Decided to go with Klook for this full day tour to the Asahiyama zoo, patchwork road(Ken & Mary tree), Blue pond, waterfall and elves village.. was pretty fulfilling but its a bit rushed no doubt. But we get to experience the beauty of the blue pond and waterfall w/o worrying about the transport. Guide was pretty friendly and was our photographer for the group pics! Totally would recommend this to all 1st timers in Hokkaido!

This trip allowed me to truly experience the special atmosphere of winter in Hokkaido. The nighttime illumination of the Shirogane Blue Pond was so mysterious and beautiful that I couldn't take my eyes off it for a while, and the Ningle Terrace was cozy and romantic, just like a little village in the forest. Both places were great for taking pictures, and I was truly satisfied with the itinerary!

An unforgettable trip! Our guide Hong was incredibly knowledgeable about Hokkaido and Ainu culture, and his multilingual skills were impressive. The itinerary was seamless and well-organized. The Blue Pond, Shikisai-no-Oka, and Farm Tomita were absolute highlights. Highly recommended!
