Jozankei Onsen tours

As a solo traveler I had a great time on this tour - we caught a decent variety of attractions for what the nearby attractions have to offer. The best part was the guide, Alex; he pulled off a trilingual trifecta for the group with Mandarin, English and Japanese. He explained more about the places we were going to than any of the numerous bus tours I’ve been on. The next time I return to Sapporo/Hokkaido region with the family I’ll defiantly try this tour again, and hopefully I’ll get Alex as the same guide again.

Highly recommended! Tour guide Lucy has a wonderful personality, kept the atmosphere relaxed all the way, and gave us plenty of time at every attraction for a truly fulfilling experience. I really enjoyed interacting with the brown bears at the bear park, and it put me in a great mood the entire day 😄

We first visited Hokkaido in 2005, and this time we joined a 1-day local tour through Klook. We are grateful for the great weather today, the well-planned itinerary highlights, and the relaxing pace. We plan to continue using Klook when we go to Okinawa next year. Also, our tour guide today, Jenny, was very attentive and a great communicator. Managing a group of 40 people today is no easy task, yet she handled it with grace and ease. Furthermore, Jenny has excellent language skills, being able to explain things clearly in both English and Mandarin (her native language) with a well-organized delivery that made it easy for us to understand. My wife and I give both the itinerary and Jenny a 5-star rating. Finally, thank you, Jenny, for leading today's trip. 🤝

The tour guide was extremely professional, and we would like to extend a special thanks to Lisa for her detailed explanations and enthusiastic assistance. It was truly meant to be that both of the two-day Klook tours we purchased were led by Lisa. This morning featured a guided tour of downtown Sapporo, while the afternoon took us further out to the Head Buddha and Jozankei Onsen, making the trip well worthwhile. Considering the price of this tour, if we had traveled independently, the transportation costs alone would have exceeded what Klook charged, so we felt it was a fantastic value.

This is a convenient place to enjoy hot springs near Hokkaido. The direct bus service is very convenient, and the hotel is also very close to the bus stop, just a five-minute walk away. The hot spring facilities are clean, and after a relaxing soak, enjoying the hotel's buffet lunch was very satisfying 😌. There's also a convenience store nearby. If your plans finish early, and it's not peak season, you can use your ticket to take an earlier bus down the mountain according to the schedule.

The itinerary was well-planned, not too rushed and not too slow. My favorite part was the first stop, the Hill of the Buddha. Our guide, Hikaru, was very nice and impressively fluent in Japanese, Chinese, and English 👍. If you enjoy architecture, nature, and history, I highly recommend this route.
