On my last day in Hokkaido, I was so happy to meet our tour guide, Xiao Hong. She was friendly, explained everything in detail, and thoughtfully took photos for me as I was traveling alone. The weather was great today, and Lake Toya looked beautiful no matter how you photographed it. Thank you to our guide and driver for their hard work today.

I booked a tour with my girlfriend and our guide, Mila, recommended great places to visit in Hokkaido throughout the trip. More than anything, her English and Chinese were so fluent! Our English wasn't great... but she was still incredibly kind. She also took photos for us when we arrived at the tour locations and always greeted us with a smile during the tour. If you think renting a car to go to Noboribetsu or Lake Toya might be difficult, I recommend taking a tour!

The day trip is perfectly timed. If it's your first time in Hokkaido, this is a great option. It's a convenient way to visit multiple locations that would otherwise require driving.

Our guide, (so sorry I forgot his name) who is a Taiwanese was very informative, accommodating and friendly. He even offered us to take our pictures. He's very considerate to the others who are a little bit late. We (with my husband and daughter) really enjoyed this tour. 5 stars for our guide.

Total time to be spent is maximum 2 hours. Recommend to buy bear food, which you can throw to the bear. Duck race is pretty entertaining, you can bet on which duck will win the race. If you are right, you can win a keychain! It was rainy weather unfortunately, very cloudy and could not see the views.

Guide Kim In-jae contacted me a day in advance regarding the necessary preparations and meeting location, and I was able to easily find it thanks to the location tag provided. While traveling by bus, they explained Sapporo and the Ainu people, which was refreshing and informative. Noboribetsu had a unique landscape that is hard to find in Korea, and surprisingly, Fukidashi Park was very cool, like having the air conditioning on. Out of the three days of tours to Noboribetsu, Biei, and Shakotan during my Sapporo trip, the Noboribetsu tour was the best. I am also grateful to the guide for being so kind and answering questions thoroughly 😃
