It was a wonderful tour experience. The snowfall made it even more special for someone from a tropical country. We had a great time with our tour guide, Andy, who helped us navigate every stop and assisted us in buying the best items.

Much better than expected, mostly thanks to our tour guide, Meifang. Her flexibility and humanity made the tour enjoyable for everyone. The tour guide is very knowledgeable and explained every attraction in detail, making me understand the value of visiting them. For example, when we went to Lake Toya, the weather was bad and we couldn't see the scenery, but she told us which yogurt pudding and horse oil were only available locally, and that the store was family-run, which I found very interesting. I wasn't planning on riding a snowmobile, but a good tour guide doesn't make you feel like you're being pushed to buy things, and I'm glad I participated because it was the most fun experience. Meifang's greatest strength is her flexibility. When we arrived at the ice cream shop, there was a long queue, so she directly tallied the people who wanted to buy it and bought tickets for the group, and the queue disappeared. Also, due to heavy snow on the last day, there was a traffic jam in Sapporo, so she immediately suggested going to the JR station so we could transfer to a train early and be dismissed earlier. Although the traffic cleared up in the end and we didn't do that, she was great. I usually get carsick, but luckily there were a lot of people that day and we were on a big bus, and the driver, Lei Ge, drove steadily, so I didn't get sick. The only downside was that the person sitting next to me was sick and didn't wear a mask, and kept coughing and sneezing throughout the trip. I got sick the next day as expected!

We had a wonderful time guided by Alex, who is very fluent in English. He seems to have visited Noboribetsu many times, as the knowledge he shared during the trip helped us greatly and allowed us to save a lot of time when visiting each place on the itinerary. From the recommended foods to the popular local products, to shopping guides at Mitsui Outlet ,we were very happy with everything. The trip is truly worth trying, and we would highly recommend it to everyone.

What made this tour especially enjoyable was that it did not feel like a typical tour at all. It felt more like going around with a friend. Lily was a very sweet and kind tour guide, and she made everyone feel comfortable from the start. She took photos for me and my husband, which was really appreciated. There was enough time at each stop to explore the area without feeling rushed. Lily speaks Chinese, Japanese, and English. While her English is not perfect, she tries her best and communicates clearly enough to make everyone feel at ease. The small extras were a nice touch, including discount coupons and free ice cream at Lake Hill Farm. Most importantly, she made sure everyone was accounted for at all times and never left anyone behind. This tour is highly recommended, especially for solo travelers, as it feels safe, relaxed, and enjoyable.

I was on Mila team and yes it was a great experience. Mila was chatty, friendly and proactively took our pictures on snowmobile and also keep offering to take pictures whenever there's a good view. She even said bear ranch is optional as its small and same as in pictures online and not pushing us to go and recommended to have lunch instead yet the restaurant is full as there is only 1 restaurant there so I went to see the bears. Mila speaks very good English and keep interacting with us on the bus. She kept pushing us to buy the face horse cream which was expensive but now I dont regret it as I realised its not easy to find it in my country and probably only time I got chance to buy. Snowmobile single cost 15k yen, double 20k yen which have to be paid on bus in cash, expensive but worth the almost 40-50min ride and the scenic views

I especially love tour guide Xixi!!! Although it was our first time meeting today, I felt particularly close to her. When I ran out of cash during the trip, tour guide Xixi thoughtfully helped me exchange it so I could eat without worry. She helped us take beautiful photos at Lake Toya and patiently explained every scenic spot along the way, telling us about local specialties and where to buy them more affordably. Overall, today's experience was great!!
