Hill of the Buddha tours

Our guide was Lee, and he was very nice and helpful. He always reminded us a few minutes before it was time to get back on the bus, which was great so no one got left behind. The first stop was the Great Buddha and Moai Statue Park. This was my favorite stop. There were so many Moai statues, and they were really interesting to see. We arrived around 9:30 AM, so we had plenty of time to take photos before the Great Buddha opened at 10 AM. Next was Jozankei. You can soak your feet for free here, so don’t forget to bring a towel. After that, there’s about a 10-minute walk to the red bridge, where you can take photos. The scenery was beautiful—the river was frozen and felt very magical. Then we went to Otaru, where we had lunch. Lee recommended a restaurant, and we tried snow crabs, which were really good. After eating, we walked to the Otaru Canal. It was okay, but nothing too special for me. The last stop was Shiroi Koibito Park. It was fine, mainly a place to buy souvenirs.

Had an amazing time in Sapporo! Loved this tour. its a must when you visit Sapporo! Also the, Sapporo beer is a must-try! The Hill of the Buddha was breathtaking and peaceful, such a calming and meaningful place to visit. We ended the day in Jozankei, surrounded by beautiful nature and relaxing views — perfect spot to unwind. Overall, such a memorable experience and highly recommended to include in your Sapporo trip! ✨thanks also to our Tour Guide :) forgot his name lol

This Sapporo city trip was fun and excellent. The guide was lovely and spoke Chinese, English, and Japanese very well. The places we visited were all important landmarks.

we LOVED every bit of this trip!!! We were lucky because during our trip, the weather was very good and everything was smooth sailing. we love both attractions and it was really a great experience! our tour guide was Hazel, and she was extra nice and amazing — she speaks 3 languages!!! This trip was superb, I highly recommend it!! It’s really a bang for your buck!!

Although it was a big group, the tour guide managed it well and used Japanese, English and Chinese interchangeably so that everyone is given a brief of the places we headed to as well as the return time back to the bus. Tou also shared with us his personal F&B list on goggle maps. Because there was an event at Hokkaido Shrine, we had more time distributed for the other places which was great!

The itinerary is very rich. The three major flower fields are all very spectacular and beautiful. The tour guide is very professional and polite. He often helps us take photos. I am grateful to be able to participate in this trip! I highly recommend everyone to participate!

The place is amazing during winter, the snow is like powdered milk😅. There’s a cafe near the Hill of Buddha and a cafe outside near the parking area. The place is actually Huge. Snap your perfect spot. We also saw a deer! awsome! BUT the guide and driver is so rude, keep repeating the instance of eating peanut/poprice of other passenger, He should have handled it nicely. Although we were not the one who made the mistake, I feel sorry for the other passengers because he’s too rude when delivering the message. I actually suprised since this is not a common to Japanese. maybe one in a million

First stop, Jozankei Onsen ♨️, take pictures and stroll through the shopping street. Second stop, the Big Buddha and Moai statues 🗿, take pictures and buy souvenirs. Third stop, the outer market to eat seafood 🐟🦀 and buy fruit 🍓. Fourth stop, Hokkaido Shrine to take pictures and buy amulets. Fifth stop, Shiroi Koibito Park to drink chocolate drinks ☕️🥛. Sixth stop, Sapporo Beer Garden. Too many people for a tasting, so I bought my own 🍺🍺. If you haven't splurged too much earlier, there's a large department store plaza next door for you to explore. It's also easy to take the bus back to the city center 🚌🚌. Our tour leader, Mr. Shao, was clear and humorous in his explanations, and he answered questions very thoroughly. The driver was also very friendly and even showed us how to use a snowball maker. The whole trip was very enjoyable 😊. Highly recommended tour leader and driver 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
