Former Hokkaido Government Office tours

Thank you Mr Oomae and Hokkaido Treasure Island Travel for my last minute change in meeting point. We had a wonderful time at Mt moiwa and Asahiyama Memorial Park. Beautiful view at both places. We are lucky as we saw two deers at Asahiyama Park. Thank you Mr Oomae for helping us to take photos. We will recommend this to our friends and family.

Our guide, Alex, was great and helped to take photos of many of us. He also shared bits and pieces of information about the attractions we went to in English and Chinese. The timings allocated for each attraction was also just nice. For those without transport, this was worth the money.

The tour was great! our guide, Leo, took care of all our needs. He gave us brief history of every location we went to which we appreciated a lot. For a full flower bloom experience, suggest to go during middle of summer time. Highly recommend to choose Leo and the ISCC team for a hassle-free and enjoyable trip.

It was well planned and everything went smoothly. The guide was friendly and provided a lot of information during the trip. Sufficient time at Otaru, but insufficient time at Mt Moiwa to see the city light up. The highlight for me was Otaru and Jozankei!

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!

Our driver/guide was named Leo, who is half Japanese half turkish, who speak excellent english, he brought us to visit Otaru’s landmarks such as the Otaru canal, cape Kamui, shimamui coast, and went to the otaru box museum and to the LeTao cafe shops at sakaimachihondori shopping streets. We also got to eat in the famous sankaku market where we ate king crabs, abalone and other seafood dishes. Next day we went to Noboribetsu and Lake Toya, to the quaint Lake Hill Farm to try their famous ice cream and some pudding desserts. we went to the hells valley and the hills of the buddha, the moai statues and stonehenge. we also had our first taste of hokkaido ramen at Noboribetsu. It was an enjoyable 2 days and Leo made sure we get to explore the places within the 10-hr time schedule. He drove very well and always made sure he is ready to pick us up when we are done in a place.

We paid a significant amount for this tour, but unfortunately, we were only able to spend 2 hours at the zoo due to the closure of the ropeway caused by the weather. It's important to note that the tour price, which was booked through Klook, was supposed to include admission to both the ropeway and the zoo. Despite the circumstances being beyond the control of the tour operator, I couldn't shake the feeling that I didn't get the full value for what we paid.

Our driver, Xiao Ma was on time, nice and efficient. We managed to go to all places we wanted to see in Furano/Biei from Farm Tomita, Shikisai No Oka, Blue Pond, Shirahige Falls, Mt. Tokachi and Ningle Terrace. We even had a nice lunch in a small restaurant on the way to Blue Pond. We were glad that we chartered this, so we can enjoy all those places at our own pace.
