Noboribetsu Date Jidai Village tours

What a great day! After a day with rain in Sapporo, we got blue sky and sun. Times where always on point and there was enough time to enjoy each location. Guide was helpful with translating to English. 👍

I was hesitant first to book this activity becasue there is no review but I go with it anyway. I turn out great, our driver who is also our tour guide did a good job in our itinerary. What I love about this activity is the Noboribetsu Date Village. I was able to wear samurai costume, sadly we only have 1.40 hrs. All the itinerary are very scenic. I recommend doing this during spring, we have cherry blossoms in Lake Toya and Makkari Shrine. We also stopped by at the Mt. Yotei perfect spot to get a picture. I really recommend this itinerary during spring for family and group of friends.

It was a trip where I truly experienced the magnificent nature of Hokkaido! Our guide, Hikaru, provided detailed explanations and even shared some funny jokes, making sure there was never a dull moment. Thank you for making this such an enjoyable trip!

it’s a beautiful tour, don’t get me wrong. but have clear expectations to what you’re going to see, if you have travelled Japan, there will be nothing new for you to see. I wouldn’t put this as top of my list for visiting Sapporo. Tour guide was great and I have no complaints about organization or tour company.

Our guide Allen was very helpful and knowledgeable. He shared a lot of local stories & that’s so much better than reading articlesssss about Hokkaido history & culture. Wish we can have 30mins more at Otaru to take a slow stroll to soak in the beautiful town.

I chose this tour because there weren't many options with a Korean-speaking guide for this particular route. I also liked the late start, which allowed for a relaxed morning. Ultimately, I was very satisfied. The tour was led by two guides, one Korean-speaking and one English-speaking. Our Korean-speaking guide, Sei, was particularly excellent, sharing interesting folklore and historical stories related to each spot, which made the travel enjoyable and never boring. I also appreciated her proactive efforts to take photos for us! If I visit Japan again, I would definitely like to use Tour Story!

I thought I booked my tour for the 15th, but I found out it was for the 17th (I planned to leave for Biei on the 17th). I talked to the guide, Joy, and she was able to make exception for me to join the group for the 15th. Joy was an amazing guide, full of enthusiaism and humor. I was the only English participant and she took the time to go over the details one on one. Nothing felt rushed. Would recommend Joy as your tour guide any day.

If you are someone who wants to take their time in one place, this tour isn’t for you. it’s fast-paced and you can visit a lot of places in one day. I especially appreciate the discount tickets that shops hand you when you get off the bus. (I think it was a special discount ticket for those on tour buses). Mila explained the background of the places we went to and recommended go-to-places around Hokkaido.

I do enjoy this tour and highly recommend in you want to explore different area/places within Sapporo. I much better enjoy this compared to yesterday cherryblossom full day tour. Our tour guide Xixi also knowledgeable with the area and appreciate that she emphasize the time to go back in our bus. She also take good picture of me. The weather was also nice which added with the good tour. Perhaps will go back here with Fam and book this tour again. Thank you Klook 🥰
