It was a full day of sightseeing, and we visited all the attractions. I'm grateful for that. The only downside was the heavy rain when we got to Lake Toya.

Lovely Ryokan, with nice staff that do everything possible to communicate with you as good as possible being a non-japanese person. Amazing food, book dinner and breakfast if you stay here for the full experience!

Noboribetsu was a Wakuwaku trip! Thanks to our kind guide, Takuya, the trip went wonderfully. He also provided excellent restaurant recommendations, made reservations, and suggested great souvenirs. I'll definitely choose Wakuwaku for my next Fukuoka day tour!

Sapporo is so wonderful that I visited again this year, after coming last year. I've always used Klook for foreign tours, but this was my first time with a Korean guide, and it was truly the best. Guide Takuya's detailed explanations and shared information, like restaurant recommendations, were incredibly helpful! I appreciated feeling that he genuinely cared about the travelers. I've been on all the tours, and this one was perfect because I needed both the stone statues and the hot springs. It was a perfectly tailored tour, which I loved! There was a lot of snow, which caused some delays, but I was happy to see so much snow. The open-air hot spring while it was snowing was absolutely blissful! I wish you continued success!

Thank you to our tour guide, Mila! Her explanations throughout the entire trip were incredibly clear and vivid, allowing us to easily understand the stories and unique characteristics of each attraction along the way. We also learned a lot about Hokkaido's culture and history. The itinerary was very well-planned and flowed smoothly, with excellent time management, so we never felt rushed. Overall, we had a fantastic time. The snowmobiling was incredibly fun and was one of the most memorable experiences of the trip! The scenery was also stunning, making it truly worthwhile to experience. The landscapes of Noboribetsu and Lake Toya were also breathtakingly beautiful. The scenery along the way was like a postcard, making us want to take photos constantly. Overall, it was a very enjoyable and unforgettable trip. We are also very grateful for Mila's attentive care and professional explanations throughout the entire tour. We highly recommend it to everyone!
