Things to do in Chitose

With the gorgerous Oscar again, he really knows the history of the places to visit in Hokkaido. The bus is very clean. The Shikotsu Lake Festival is very beautiful. However, the schedule is very tight, but everything went on time. Very recommended

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.

I was worried about whether we could go this year due to the heavy snow, but the day was sunny and not cold. The Rakkai Pioneer Village, with its old houses and shops reminiscent of Japan about 80 years ago, would be a great reference for people visiting from abroad. The guide took us to the tube slider area in the park, and from there we had free time. There were 100m and 200m sliders, and the 200m one was more popular, so the wait time was about 30 minutes. I was able to slide down the 100m one three times. It's not crowded there, so you can slide down many times. We were able to walk through the forest in snowshoes. It took about an hour for one lap. You won't fall, so older people can enjoy it too. It was a really fun experience because I was able to do something I don't usually get to do. The ice festival was more wonderful than I expected, and even though it wasn't the time for the light-up, I felt that the blue ice looked more like ice during the day. Apparently, in previous years it was melting and not as beautiful as this year. This year is the year to go! The guide was very professional and explained things diligently even on the bus. I couldn't understand the language, but her speaking style was like that of a Chinese singing show MC, with a beautiful voice and pronunciation. She was very kind. Thank you.
