Traveler reviews
​Our day trip through Hokkaido was an absolute dream, made even better by our incredible guide, Jenny. She truly deserves a 10/10 rating—her respectful nature, witty sense of humor, and deep knowledge of the area kept us entertained and informed all day long. ​Asahiyama Zoo: The absolute star of the show was the penguin walk. Seeing them waddle up close was incredibly cute and a memory I’ll cherish! The polar bears, brown bears, and seals were equally adorable and active in the chilly weather. ​Biei’s Natural Beauty: The Christmas Tree stood alone in the snow, looking truly majestic against the white landscape. While the Blue Pond wasn't actually blue, the snowy vista was still serene. ​Shirahige Falls: This was the highlight of the scenery for me. The contrast of the blue water against the icicles was simply breathtaking. ​The itinerary was well-paced, and Jenny’s lively energy made the long drives feel short.
I really recommend booking this day tour if you’re planning to visit these places! It would be so hard to reach it by yourself except you’re driving. We joined the tour on Dec 7, and it all went smoothly and according to the itinerary. Though the penguin parade hasn’t started yet, but Asahiyama Zoo was still a good place to visit. The waterfall & blue pond was beautiful, and we were also able to visit the famous Christmas tree! Shout out to our guide, Kee, who managed to organize the timings perfectly. He is a kind and funny guy, also knowledgeable abd shares us many facts about the Hokkaido area. Thank you, Kee!
I have to give a shout-out to our tour guide, Hikaru Zhan Peng! Today, he took us snowshoeing through Asahiyama Zoo, Shirahige Falls, the famous Christmas Tree, and Shirogane Blue Pond. He thoughtfully reminded us to watch our step on the slippery roads, which was so considerate. At the zoo, we even caught the super cute penguin parade! His explanations were detailed and engaging, and the itinerary was perfectly paced, making the trip enjoyable and worry-free. I highly recommend him!
Love this day tour especially the zoo and shirahige waterfall. My 1st experience walking in the zoo in winter season with snowing. Such a good experience for me. Bus is on time for pick up and drop off. Thank you Miss Lucy for so much useful information too. Tour is with English and mandarin language, I can understand this 2 language so is no problem for me.
Guide Jenny was the best, no issues. My child really wanted to go to the zoo, so I applied for a Chinese/English bus tour, but there were no communication problems at all, and it was very nice that the bus boarding time was posted on a board. We visited all the places of the sold product, and the order was changed according to the situation, but I was very happy that there were no people when I went to the Christmas tree as the last order. I didn't see a lot of snow (Blue Lake was only half frozen. Is it a little less cold this year?), but I was satisfied with all the places. The White Beard Waterfall was really cool. The outside scenery of the last tour location was also very cool. And thank you so much for taking care of the seats ^^
A very memorable trip. We arrived the day after it snowed, a beautiful view with snow along the way. Thank you Ms. Lucy, a very friendly tour guide who explained the places we visited in great detail. Also, thank you to the driver who worked hard throughout the trip.
Our guide on this memorable tour on White Valentine's Day March 14 was Miss Serina, who's a knowledgeable and helpful lady. She helped take many beautiful photographs for us, having been on this tour many times to Asahiyama Zoo, Shirahige Falls, Biei Blue Pond (covered in snow but just as gorgeous!) & the loneliest Christmas tree in the world! Would not hesitate to go again. Penguin walk had ended and we saw the penguins swimming & having some private time.
I booked a Klook day tour as part of my solo trip. First of all, the price is very fair. The transportation costs to Asahikawa and Furano are considerable, especially considering the difficulty of moving between attractions. So, the price alone is great value! Although the time spent at each attraction is really short, as long as you seize the opportunity, taking lots of beautiful photos is no problem 🤣. The tour guide, Lucy, provided detailed explanations, and the tour went very smoothly! Thank you to the driver for taking us out happily and bringing us home safely ☺️☺️☺️.
