Shiretoko UNESCO 3-Day Whale Watching Exploration

This itinerary was rich in content, and the accommodations were excellent. The two hot spring hotels allowed us to rest very well; soaking in the hot springs helped relieve the day's fatigue. We saw two sperm whales during our boat trip, which excited the children. Most commendable was the service provided by our driver and guide, Mr. Lin, which was incredibly pleasant. He patiently explained each attraction, proactively helped us with our luggage, took photos, and meticulously arranged our meals.

The itinerary was well-designed, and our guide, A-Zhe, was enthusiastic, attentive, and professional. The hotel and dining in Utoro were excellent, while those at Lake Akan were slightly less so. It would have been better if we could have been dropped off at our hotel on the return trip.
