Reviews
the trip is very good and very clear instruction, the tour guide mari is very kind and dedicated. she very good english and japanese speaker. she understand and able to manage the whole tour. the bus very good have toilet clean and big. the experience about the ice drift is awesome. was able to see the sea eagles in middle of the ocean. the ice festival sounkyo was limited 30-40minutes and very rush.
Fun trip, long car ride but worth it, beautiful drift ice. The observatory is a bit boring, not much to see.
The drift ice and sunset are so beautiful! I saw a lot of drift ice, lucky! was fun! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
The tour is good. Do expect spending a lot of time on bus because the sites are very far away from Sapporo. the tour guide Mr Watanabe was very attentive and took good care of participants. He deserves recognition for spending half an hour outdoor in a snow storm looking for tour participants who returned late.
Although the itinerary stated that there were only Japanese-speaking tour guides, the tour guide Teruo San worked very hard to speak English and was quite clear, making the instructions clearer and easier to understand. Thank you Teruo San for taking care of us.
Personally, I'm not good at English, but there was no problem in communicating, and the guide was friendly and friendly. What's especially special is that there are 2 drivers, so I personally feel like I'm traveling as a group, so time is a little tight, but I'm very satisfied as I can travel without driving during a winter trip.
The journey is very long. It takes 9 hours to go back and forth. It takes 1 hour to cruise and half an hour to show off the ice! Plus the blizzard weather makes the journey even longer! It would be better if you can arrange an earlier departure! The attractions are very good! But you can arrange an early departure Some departures would be better so you don’t get back very late!
The guide Mr Watanabe is very patient and responsive. we are very happy with our experience.
