Thank you to our guide, Risa (or perhaps Lisa?) from Qingdao, for leading us. The whole trip was very smooth, also thanks to the punctuality of the group members and the driver's snow driving skills. This Sapporo trip was a wish come true for me. I've wanted to come for ten years, but various reasons meant I didn't have the chance until I was in my 40s. When planning the itinerary, places like Lake Toya and the Ice Waterfall Festival were really hard to reach without driving. Luckily there's Klook. I used Klook in Okinawa before to get to many places, and it didn't disappoint this time either. Although I was the only Hong Kong man in the whole group, the overall experience was excellent. Thank you to everyone for making my trip so fulfilling.

Went to all locations as specified on the itinerary. Enough time was provided at each. Only downside was the place we stopped and could have lunch at - all the restaurants were either full, out of our budget, or closed due to having sold out of their ingredients for the day. Guide suggested us to go to the Seico Mart convenience store if we couldn't find a restaurant, which quite a few groups ended up doing. There was enough food at the convenience store so that wasn't an issue. The highlight was definitely the Lake Shikotsu Ice Festival which we had to pay an extra ¥1,000 per person for when we arrived (purchased tickets there). It was a great experience. If you are taking lots of photos, then the time there may not be enough. Overall, the other spots were a little underwhelming. The bear ranch was not cheap to enter and was a lot smaller than expected...

An interesting tour with the Hell Valley being the highlight. Don’t underestimate the path if your going in winter—some parts are very icy and slidy—but overall manageable. Also, there’s an opportunity to snow mobile and it’s a diff experience from other snowmobile areas you should try.

Book the ticket on day of visit and just show to the staff at ticket counter. A small park where you feed them with food purchased in the park vending machine. ¥200 or ¥500/packet. 1st ranch where the male bears( human cage) is where you can observe and feed them up close. Female bears in 2nd ranch seem not so active when we visited compared to the video seen previously where they will make some actions to beg for food. Interesting activity is we joined the "Duck Race" to guess which duck will win the race. it is like a bet and my kid choose the duck with red ribbon won the race and got a small gift from the park. facilities:

This is an excellent day tour from Central Sapporo that truly lets you live out your winter wonderland fantasy. The snowmobile experience, though optional, is an absolute must-try. The ride up and down the mountain offers breathtaking views, with bonus sledding at the photo stop adding to the fun. Kathryn, our guide, was incredibly friendly and bubbly, and fluent in Japanese, Chinese, and English, making the experience seamless for everyone. The all-scallop set meal was also one of a kind and a memorable highlight. Highly recommend this tour!

Purchasing Noboribetsu Date Jidaimura tickets through Klook is very convenient. Just show your voucher on-site to redeem a physical ticket for entry. The park recreates the streetscape of the Edo period, with performances by ninjas and samurai to enjoy. You can also experience traditional costume photography. The overall atmosphere is very unique, making it suitable for travelers who enjoy Japanese history and culture or families with children.

Hey Mila!! Thank you!!!!! First of all, thank you so much Mila. Thanks to Mila, I had a fun and comfortable trip to a great travel destination!! I've been to Japan more than 15 times so far, and all I've ever done is eat, see, and buy things. My friend and I wanted to experience an activity, so we booked a unique trip through Klook and applied for a tour under Mila's guidance and went for a day. Actually, I hesitated because they only spoke English & Chinese, but I applied because I wanted to ride a snowmobile in a cool way. Sure enough, there were only me and my friend, two Koreans, on the tour lol. But I really enjoyed it. Everyone should definitely ride a snowmobile at least once, the thrill is amazing. It was nice that Mila kept asking me kindly if I had eaten and if I had enjoyed watching it. I'm sorry that the two guys didn't listen to me and kept looking for smoking areas and running around, which made Mila anxious. Mila, you will be blessed. You took pictures and treated me kindly and led me to the end. Even if you don't speak Korean, she will explain everything slowly in English. If other people come, Biei tour is good, but you should go to Noboribetsu. It's good to just look around and it's good to experience activities. Mila!! Arigato!!!

Convenient without queuing. I booked 1 day b4 and just show the phone apps to the ticket staff. A small park with different show timing. Penguin Parade is the highlight show but it is a short distance walk compared to Asahiyama Zoo. The restaurant serve a big portion pork cutlet tomatoes sauce rice. The touch pool is especially interesting for the kid.
