Our tour guide, Mr. Shao, introduced Lake Toya and Jigokudani (Hell Valley) in Noboribetsu in three languages: Chinese, English, and Japanese. He provided very detailed information about the geography and culture, and also shared Hokkaido's cuisine and specialties, giving us first-time visitors a wealth of information. We are very grateful for his dedication! Highly recommend this tour.

Our guide, (so sorry I forgot his name) who is a Taiwanese was very informative, accommodating and friendly. He even offered us to take our pictures. He's very considerate to the others who are a little bit late. We (with my husband and daughter) really enjoyed this tour. 5 stars for our guide.

The environment is top-notch, but I personally found the food to be average, despite the wide variety. I booked a room with a private bath. If you're shy, enjoying the onsen in your room is a good option, but since it's not open-air, it's just okay. What I appreciated most was the ryokan's open-air onsen. The baths are separated by gender, and when I went in the morning, there was nobody there. I had the whole place to myself! 👍

Hotel staff were all very friendly and attentive. The lobby was very luxurious and you will have a welcome drink and snack while you wait for check in. If you are not staying in the suite, you have to park your car at another carpark, but 24/7 shuttle access will be provided. Buffet dinner and breakfast were great. However, the room is very stuffy, aircon isn’t very strong. Overall still a good stay for the fireworks.

First time booking a Klook day tour and we went to many places. Our tour guide, Ms. Ono, was very professional, and the driver was also very responsible.

Guide Kim In-jae contacted me a day in advance regarding the necessary preparations and meeting location, and I was able to easily find it thanks to the location tag provided. While traveling by bus, they explained Sapporo and the Ainu people, which was refreshing and informative. Noboribetsu had a unique landscape that is hard to find in Korea, and surprisingly, Fukidashi Park was very cool, like having the air conditioning on. Out of the three days of tours to Noboribetsu, Biei, and Shakotan during my Sapporo trip, the Noboribetsu tour was the best. I am also grateful to the guide for being so kind and answering questions thoroughly 😃

Our guide, Kelvin, did a great job planning the itinerary and provided detailed and comprehensive information. It would have been perfect if the tour bus air conditioning was stronger.

The itinerary was packed with activities, and our guide, Grace, was incredibly attentive. She helped us purchase ferry tickets to see the fireworks, and the other members of the group were also very cooperative. Highly recommended!
