Overall a really nice experience and I do think the tour was made excellent by our guide, Arafat who was really professional, funny, engaging and ensured he kept to the time. It was his strict adherence to timing that allowed our group to finish all planned itinerary. Arafat is very fluent in English, Chinese and Japanese - perfect for a mixed group of guests! If I were to visit Hokkiado again and I'm looking for a tour to join in, I would choose the tour Arafat is leading over others! 👍🏻

This trip during the fall foliage season was amazing, the scenery along the way was super beautiful!! The overall itinerary was also well arranged, and the tour guide Lily even gave us extra time at the Blue Pond for everyone to take pictures, which was great~ Lily was also very enthusiastic in introducing things and helping everyone take pictures along the way, she's the best tour guide I've had on a day trip! Taking a day trip is a great way to visit places you want to go but are difficult to access by transportation, the overall value is very high~

Our guide, Xiao Pan, was very enthusiastic, and the itinerary was well-organized. He told us about many delicious foods, fun things to do, and various customs of Japan on the bus. The only pity was that we couldn't go to the Ningle Terrace because it was closed, and instead, we sampled sake. On this day trip to Hokkaido, I saw adorable penguins, the Blue Pond, and Shirahige Falls, all of which I had longed to visit and were well worth the trip. Hokkaido is beautiful, and I hope to come back again in the future.

When we went, it just so happened that it had snowed the day before ❄️, so Asahikawa Zoo was covered in a blanket of white snow, super beautiful 😻. Blue Pond and Shirahige Falls also did not disappoint, really, really beautiful 😍. The Elf Terrace was a bit of a pity though, although it was also covered in white snow, the lights weren't on when we went, otherwise it would definitely have been more fairytale-like. Our tour guide, Zhu Wei, was also very down-to-earth, and shared his favorite foods along the way, awesome!

2025/10/28 So glad to have encountered the first snow, it's really beautiful. The director even said that yesterday it was still autumn scenery, and today we suddenly have a snow scene. Be careful when walking, it's slippery. I didn't prepare snow boots and didn't expect to encounter snow 😂😂
