The photoshoot was incredibly relaxed and comfortable! Kahori-san guided me through different spots and suggested natural movements, making everything feel effortless. The whole experience was full of genuine moments of joy—the conversations with her added a wonderful sense of ease. Even when it started snowing, the shoot stayed lighthearted and fun. The photos turned out beautifully, capturing natural expressions and the warm vibes of the day. I’m really happy with how everything turned out—it was such an enjoyable experience.

I like how friendly the workers treat us, very nice and always give us compliment. Even we don’t understand each other. We wear this Kimono and walk around city , mostly people says to us beautiful. Thank you make us look beautiful. I will repeat again this shop when i come here another time. The process very fast.

I feel it is a way to experience Japanese culture by wearing a kimono. The costume made me walk more ladylike and the costume is really pretty. The kimono is made of silk and feel very smooth and comfortable when wearing it. With the backdrop at Otaru Canal, it sure will make a nice picture for you to keep and remember.

Such a lovely wagashi class. Beautiful craftsmanship and a very peaceful atmosphere. The host was warm, friendly, and very helpful throughout the session. Making wagashi by hand really makes you appreciate the artistry behind each piece. Highly recommend if you’re curious about Japanese culture and traditional sweets.

If you're thinking of traveling between cities, especially from Hakodate to Sapporo, this is a great deal. Just the round trip is almost the cost of the pass, and the remaining days are a bonus. This time, there's a bundled ticket: the "Have fun in Hokkaido Pass," which lets you choose 3 locations for 4xx baht, which is about 2000 yen. It's very cheap. You can enter participating locations and get discounts. For the first location, we chose Asahiyama Zoo, but you have to exchange the ticket at Asahikawa Station. They'll give you a package of tickets. There's an Information & Product Center on the far right side of the station (opposite AEON Mall). The entry fee is 1000 yen + a food discount ticket for 800 yen for cafes or restaurants in the zoo or around the zoo, because we also used it at a cafe outside (across from the zoo) + a 10% discount coupon for restaurants or gift shops in that area. It's worth it. The second location was Sapporo TV Tower, with an entry fee of 1000 yen. We were going to go to the third location (Mount Moiwa, the ropeway costs 2200 yen), but we didn't because we were tired and there was a snowstorm on the day we were going to go. But it was still worth the cost of the ticket.

Easy booking through Klook. Super easy redemption at the airport. Seat reservation: No problem at the machine. But not always necessary, sometimes we just rode in the unreserved car. Staff always very friendly. We used it in Kyoto, Osaka, Nara and Hiroshima. Everything worked out great.

I've purchased multiple JR Passes through Klook many times. It's convenient, easy to redeem, and always works. The promotions are great too.

My experience taking the Niseko Ski Resort - New Chitose Airport - Sapporo shuttle bus was very smooth. The meeting time and location provided by Klook before departure were clear, and the driver arrived on time that day. Luggage placement and headcount confirmation were efficient and very friendly for skiers. The ride was stable, and even on snowy roads, the driver seemed experienced, allowing for a restful nap. For first-timers to Niseko who don't want to transfer via JR or move with ski equipment, this shuttle option is really time-saving and effortless. Overall, it's a great value, and I would choose it again for future ski trips and recommend it to friends. Price: Pass Coverage:

Purchasing tickets on the Klook platform is very convenient. You can exchange tickets and reserve seats at the JR New Chitose Airport. If you plan to visit Noboribetsu and Otaru, this pass is definitely worth the price. Highly recommended!
Quick facts about Hokkaido
General info
What to know before visiting Hokkaido
Top Attractions in Hokkaido
Sapporo Snow Festival
If you visit Hokkaido in February, you can see giant ice and snow sculptures at the famous Sapporo Snow Festival. It’s one of Japan’s biggest winter events and turns the city into a winter wonderland filled with ice sculptures, music, food stalls, and fun activities.
Niseko Ski Resort
In Hokkaido, Niseko is the best place for skiing and snowboarding. You’ll love the soft powder snow, beautiful mountain views, and cozy hot springs after a day on the slopes.
Furano Flower Fields
During summer, Hokkaido’s Furano area turns into a rainbow of colors with lavender, cherry blossoms, and flower fields. It’s a perfect spot for photos and a relaxing walk through nature.
Otaru Canal
In the coastal town of Otaru, you can walk along the charming Otaru Canal lined with old warehouses and soft lantern lights at night. It’s especially romantic in winter when covered with snow.
Shirogane Blue Pond (Biei)
You’ll be amazed by the bright turquoise water of the Blue Pond in Biei, Hokkaido. It changes color with the light and looks stunning in every season.
Noboribetsu Onsen
For relaxation, visit Noboribetsu Onsen, Hokkaido’s most famous hot spring town. You can soak in mineral-rich baths and explore “Hell Valley,” a volcanic area with steaming vents and bubbling pools.
Tips before visiting Hokkaido
1. Dress for the season
Winters in Hokkaido are long, cold, and snowy, so pack layers, thermal wear, and waterproof boots to stay warm. Summers are mild but can still be cool at night, especially in the mountains.
2. Try local food
Hokkaido is famous for its fresh seafood, rich ramen, and creamy dairy products. Be sure to visit local markets or food stalls to taste specialties like crab, sea urchin, and soft-serve ice cream.
3. Use the JR Pass
The JR Hokkaido Rail Pass makes traveling between cities like Sapporo, Otaru, and Hakodate affordable and easy. It’s a great way to see scenic routes without worrying about car rentals or snow driving.
4. Book early in winter
Ski resorts like Niseko, Furano, and Rusutsu get fully booked months in advance during the snow season. Plan ahead for accommodations, lift passes, and transport to secure the best deals.
