It was a great experience. I forgot the guide's name, but she was a woman with medium-short hair. She was very professional; we departed exactly at 8 AM as scheduled. Along the way, she explained a lot about Japanese culture and history. The meeting and dismissal times and locations were clear and concise. The attractions were also excellent. The accommodation was very good, and the meals were decent too. Full marks!

The itinerary was rich, but unfortunately, the tour guide was unprofessional and unprepared. They distributed room assignments, which included personal information such as birth dates and passport numbers, while on the bus.

The weather was good, the boat was nice, there was no ice, so no ice-breaking, and the location was a bit remote. Overall, it was very good. Nothing else to add.

It's a bit of a shame that the waves were too big and the icebreakers weren't running, but the scenery along the way was still very beautiful. The hotel in Sounkyo had great hot springs. It's a bit of a shame we didn't get to ride the boat in Monbetsu, but the sea view was beautiful. We bought a lot of souvenirs, and the meals were very generous. You can feel the abundance of Hokkaido's products. The two-day, one-night itinerary was just right, not too rushed, and we could have a good time. The tour guide was also very responsible and friendly.

This was my first time joining a local tour in Japan, and the experience was pretty good. It was a bit packed though, so if it could be arranged a little more loosely, I think it would be even better! But for this price, the value for money is really high! Our tour leader, Guide Wang, was very patient, answered every question, and really cared about the tourists. The icebreaker ship tour was the most memorable part of the trip. It's really worth it! The tour bus we rode in was also very comfortable. It's a great tour worth joining!

The itinerary was well-arranged, with enough time to linger at each stop. Although we didn't see drift ice on the icebreaker cruise, the other activities were great, especially the snow activities at the snow park, seeing the penguin parade at the zoo, and taking photos at the Ginga Falls. Our tour guide, Wu Yanbo, provided excellent service and explained a lot of information about Hokkaido along the way. Thank you for her very professional service!

The meeting point was relatively easy to find, but due to the heavy snow and unfamiliarity with the layout of the underground passages, even though I booked a hotel near the meeting point in advance and even allowed 30 minutes (the actual journey only takes 10 minutes), this is the respect you should have for Hokkaido's snow season because the ground is too difficult to walk on. Throughout the journey, our guide, Qiu, kept introducing various content related to our itinerary and also expanded on Hokkaido's customs and culture, which was very nice. The itinerary was also very smooth, and I was very satisfied with the sights, check-ins, activities, meals, and accommodations.

I joined the tour departing on February 21st, and the itinerary was very rich. There was plenty of time to linger at each attraction. The rubber boat at Bibai Snow Land was a lot of fun! I saw many cute animals at Asahiyama Zoo! I was lucky enough to see drift ice on the icebreaker ship, which was truly unforgettable! The Sounkyo Onsen hotel was very comfortable, and I especially want to commend the tour guide, Xiao Cai! She is super friendly, very gentle, polite, and the itinerary arrangement was very proper. Her organizational skills are very high, and she explained the background information clearly before arriving at each attraction. Finally, when returning to Sapporo, tour guide Xiao Cai led us to thank the driver in Japanese, which was very touching. I really highly recommend this tour. There's really nothing to be dissatisfied with, a perfect 2 days and 1 night!
