Things to do in Hokkaido

The tour moves at a fast pace, so it’s more like an introduction to each location. It gives you a chance to see different places and decide which ones you’d like to come back to and spend more time exploring on your next visit. Our tour guide, Jenny, was excellent. She explained everything in three languages throughout the tour, which was very impressive and made the experience enjoyable for everyone. As for the sweet melon, it wasn’t like candy or dessert. It was just a regular sweet melon, similar to the ones we have in my home country.

My guide was Ema and I would give her a 10/5 stars if I could! She was so informative and constantly was giving us fun facts about each area. She was so friendly and so attentive to other’s needs. I wish she could be on every tour that I go!

Our tour guide, Lucy, was very professional and provided us with a lot of different information. Although our departure was delayed due to a restaurant issue during lunch, Lucy did her best to help us catch up on the itinerary, ensuring that our time visiting the flower fields and other attractions was not reduced. That was fantastic! Also, I had read reviews saying that by the time the tour reached Farm Tomita, the farm would already be closed. However, Lucy specially adjusted the itinerary, taking us to Farm Tomita first, then to Shikisai-no-Oka, Aoiike (Blue Pond), and Shirogane Falls. This allowed us to enjoy cantaloupe and lavender ice cream at Farm Tomita. The arrangements were incredibly flexible! I originally joined this day tour just for the convenience of transportation, but thanks to Lucy, I also learned about Hokkaido's history, culture, cuisine, and more. This was the best day tour I've ever taken! Thank you, Lucy!

The trip turned up to be surprisingly enjoyable despite we were too early for lots of flowers . The Blue Pond was spectacular despite the drizzly weather. Trip to Shikisai No Oka was truly eye opening and we truly immersed ourselves under the cool summer day. Farm Tomita never disappoints us with the chance to taste the ice cream and melon with the beautiful flower views. lastly must comment the guide Yan who patiently explained all the places of interest in English, Chinese and Japanese.

If you're staying at Tokyu Rei, meeting the guide is very convenient. The guide waited in the lobby as scheduled. Ken-san took great care of us, explaining things in English, Japanese, and Chinese, and always letting us know when to board the bus. This itinerary is quite packed, with frequent getting on and off the bus and a lot of walking, but we got to visit many places. We went during the rainy season and encountered rain and cloudy skies, which was a shame. Restrooms were available everywhere at the tourist attractions.

Our family of 5 took the trip with our guide, Lucy. She’s helpful and informative. The trip was very accommodating to our plan getting around the area. Our highlight was the Lake hill farm. unfortunately we didn’t stay long there but we enjoyed our time during the trip.

Japanese tours are very organized! they will chat you ahead of time with itinerary details. our guide, Kevin, chats our next itinerary & meet up point. he has his own camera that he takes photo of us. if you want sceneric view and relax mode, this is the best,except hiking in the morning so wear comfy shoes.haha. we did not do the cruise, it is a good choice since you cannot explore shopping stores if you did this. one flaw, the end time is 6PM but was on city by 5P, nonetheless, this tour is a must have in sapporo.

Our guide was Emma. Most people on the tour bus was punctual and the bus could leave on time except for the last 2 stops where this one guy was late to the bus. And then again late for the last stop. From the start, emma already mentioned the importance of being punctual as there were other people in the tour and bus driver had strict working hours to adhere to in Japan. Eventually we left to go back to the city without the guy as he was almost 10 mins late and nowhere to be seen. I believe best efforts were made by Emma in trying to contact him before deciding to leave the place without him. (saw his 1 star review on klook). Try the snow crab instead at the seafood market. i think the king crab is kinda overrated.

Mt. Moiwa Ropeway & Observation Deck offer one of the best viewpoints in Sapporo. Simply exchange your QR code for a physical ticket, then join the queue for the ropeway and connecting cable car to the summit. The ropeway cabins are spacious and can accommodate many passengers. I highly recommend arriving before sunset and staying into the evening — you'll get to enjoy both daytime and nighttime views, each with its own unique charm. The panoramic scenery from the observation deck is absolutely stunning, overlooking Sapporo city, the surrounding mountains, and the distant coastline. A must-visit attraction when in Sapporo.
