Unlike typical day tours, this is a tour that allows you to sleep in before departing, as the meeting time is at 11 AM 😆. The advantage of an afternoon tour is avoiding the morning crowds at Asahiyama Zoo. Our tour guide, Joe, was excellent! There were travelers from different countries in the group that day, and he took great care of everyone, repeating all travel information in three languages. Additionally, the time spent at each attraction was just right. We arrived at Asahiyama Zoo just in time to grab a bite to eat before watching the penguin parade. The second attraction, the Lonely Christmas Tree, was scheduled for arrival at dusk, allowing for photos that perfectly capture the tree's solitary beauty. Unfortunately, the Forest Fairy Terrace was officially closed to all tour groups that day, so we'll have to save it for our next trip to Hokkaido. As a substitute, we went to see the illuminated Blue Pond, which was also beautiful! Highly recommended 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

This group tour was very worthwhile. Our guide, Joe, took us to Asahikawa Zoo to see the famous penguin parade in the snow. We also captured a lonely Christmas tree in a blizzard. Finally, he took us to the Elf Terrace, a place that's truly worth the trip. Thank you to guide Joe for his care, explanations, and cooperation along the way, and thank you to the driver for tirelessly driving us around. Although the highway was closed on the way back, we were still safely delivered. It was a very memorable trip, and thank you to both of you.

Amazing tour with Brian — funny, knowledgeable, and very engaging. The later start made the whole trip more relaxed and enjoyable, giving us plenty of time for photos and sightseeing. Ending at Ningle Terrace at night was absolutely magical. Highly recommended for those who prefer quality over quantity!

Ours was a small group which we preferred. the time given to each places was just nice. we have a very warm and kind guide, Catherine who shared how to walk the zoo to be fruitful. she also shared the food and places to visit in Hokkaido which is very helpful since it’s our first time. this is also the very first trip with Klook that they actually have a short stop over for toilet break.

Our Hong Kong tour guide, Jia Jia, was very professional and even helped us take pictures. Our group of 13 was transported in a large bus, which was very comfortable 👍🏻. The arranged spots were also great. It snowed that day, and the driver's driving skills were really excellent 👍🏻. We were lucky to see a heavy snowfall and almost forgot to go home while having fun. Thank you to the tour guide for waiting an extra five minutes for us ❤️. This is the first time I've experienced such comfortable travel quality. I will definitely choose your company's tour group next time 👍🏻.

Both the tour guide and the driver were very professional on February 6th. The tour guide's demeanor and English were easy to understand. We happened to encounter a heavy snowstorm, but Asahiyama Zoo and Ningle Terrace were still very beautiful! There were especially many penguins out enjoying the blizzard, which was very cute. Be sure to keep warm as they are in open or mountainous areas. The time was arranged appropriately, and two or three itineraries were just right.

Great 4.0
This trip was a mixed experience for us. The zoo was definitely the highlight and the best part of the whole itinerary. The penguin parade was something new and interesting, and we enjoyed that part.
However, the night terrace didn’t really give us a “wow” feeling. It felt more like a small village with around 15 wooden houses in a forest, and because it was very crowded, it didn’t come across as romantic as expected. The weather was also extremely cold, which made it harder to fully enjoy the evening.
Another downside was the tight schedule. A lot of sightseeing time had to be given up for meals, which made the overall pace feel rushed.
Overall, the zoo visit was memorable, but the rest of the trip didn’t quite meet our expectations.

We will send you a letter the day before to remind you of the meeting time and place. We happened to encounter a blizzard, so we didn't go to the Fairy Terrace, but we arranged for Shirahige Falls instead. Everything was still great!
