This time we visited the Great Buddha, Hokkaido Jingu Shrine, White Lover Theme Park, and Jozankei Hot Spring Park to soak in the hot springs. It was a very fulfilling trip!

I was traveling for a short time, but I thought it was convenient and cost-effective to go to several must-see places with this tour package! Andy, the tour guide, was really kind and moved according to the schedule, so there were no delays and everything went smoothly. Jozankei Onsen was the best. ㅎㅎ

The tour guide has good time control and can complete the scheduled itinerary. The distance between the attractions is not far, so there is no need to pull a long car. It is a rich one-day tour

Vivi was warm, friendly and polite. She explained in real time, switching between different languages. She was also enthusiastic about helping guests take photos and treated guests from all countries fairly. Very good 😎

Today, Andy led the tour. He was very responsible and smiling. Let me share the itinerary. 1. Hokkaido Jingu Shrine. There was time to eat the fortune cake. It was a little big and could be shared by many people. It was very unique. 2. Shiroi Koibito. According to the reviews, there was no extra charge for visiting the factory. We only took pictures outside. There were many places to sit and rest. 3. Ate at the delicious restaurant in the outer market (recommended by the tour guide, it was delicious). We also bought Yubari melon for 3,800 yuan, which was delicious. 4. The Great Buddha is a big place. In addition to the Buddha itself, you can also take pictures of the Moai next to it. 5.

The itinerary was very rich and the time was just right (except for the Hokkaido Shrine, I think we could have stayed 5-10 minutes longer because it takes some time to buy the te and fortune cookies). The departure point was Sapporo TV Station, and at the end you can choose to get off at Mt. Moiwa to watch the sunset and night view directly. And maybe because Hokkaido is vast and sparsely populated, we chose the Saturday tour and there was no traffic jam along the way. The end time was the same as the schedule 👍🏻 Our tour guide was very responsible, Andy Xiaoyan from Taiwan, with a smile and very kind 👍🏻👍🏻
