I participated in a day trip from Sapporo to Noboribetsu and Lake Toya. From quickly creating a group chat after placing the order to sending location information and contacting individuals, to taking photos for tourists and having cash on hand throughout the entire trip, the overall experience was excellent. The itinerary was well-organized and compact, allowing us to experience the diverse pleasures of nature, culture, and leisure in one day.
The most impressive sight on this trip was undoubtedly Noboribetsu Hell Valley.
The moment I stepped into the valley, I was awestruck by a primal force. In the huge volcanic crater remains, the pale, jagged rocks intertwined with the exposed reddish-brown surface, resembling the wounds of the earth. Dozens of vents continuously spewed out scorching white steam, accompanied by a strong smell of sulfur, as if the earth was still breathing deeply. Walking along the trails, boiling turquoise hot spring pools and bubbling mud spouts were everywhere, forming a spectacular scene of ice and fire under the cover of winter snow. Overlooking from the observation deck, the entire valley was shrouded in mist, solemn and magnificent, making people truly feel the originality and grandeur of the earth's vitality.
Another unforgettable highlight was snowmobile riding.
The price was transparent (15,000 yen for a single rider, 20,000 yen for two riders), and the thrill of racing across the snowfield made my adrenaline soar. Our family of three each rode a snowmobile and enjoyed the ride in the snowfield. Thanks to our guide, Xiao Yan, who had prepared enough cash for us in advance, we were spared the trouble of exchanging currency on the spot. Although it snowed that day, it made the riding experience even more flavorful.
All of this perfect experience was inseparable from the professionalism and dedication of guide Xiao Yan and his team (team list in the picture).
1. Proactive and meticulous service: From preparing cash to responding to weather changes, she always arranged things before the guests even needed them, giving us peace of mind throughout the entire trip.
2. Professional and engaging explanation: Guide Yan was very knowledgeable about the geological origins of Hell Valley, the ecology of the Bear Park, and even the local culture. Her Chinese and English explanations were clear and lively.
3. Sincere, friendly, and heartwarming throughout: Guide Yan's smile and service were full of warmth, making the whole team atmosphere harmonious, as if we were traveling with a reliable friend.
A perfect trip, both encountering breathtaking natural wonders and experiencing impeccable professional service. If you also choose this route, I highly recommend Guide Xiao Yan and his team. Their dedication will elevate your journey. A dedicated tour guide team deserves to be discovered! Thank you!
