EN/CN│Kurodake Ropeway, Asahiyama Zoo, with Ramen 1D Bus│Hokkaido

We paid a significant amount for this tour, but unfortunately, we were only able to spend 2 hours at the zoo due to the closure of the ropeway caused by the weather. It's important to note that the tour price, which was booked through Klook, was supposed to include admission to both the ropeway and the zoo. Despite the circumstances being beyond the control of the tour operator, I couldn't shake the feeling that I didn't get the full value for what we paid.

The guide was very kind and helpful. made sure to pick everyone up and made sure everyone is on tims. The transport was a large bus with only a small group.

It was great! Although the drive was long, this is one of the few tours from Sapporo that goes to the Kurodake Ropeway. Our tour guide, Gao Ge, was very responsible, reminding everyone about the time and providing introductions and suggestions on how to plan our visit. Kurodake is truly beautiful and highly recommended.

I originally wanted to enjoy the maple trees, but I didn’t know that it was already the end of the day. However, the entire mountain stretched endlessly and it was a beautiful scenery. The zoo is a bit busy due to meal time, but it is still very convenient without having to drive there. I thought the tour would only be in English and Japanese, but I didn’t expect the director could speak Chinese. It was really great☺️

We had a wonderful time and appreciate the effort put into the itinerary. Our primary piece of feedback is regarding the timing: we felt the tour was overly rushed, particularly at the zoo and Asahidake, which we would have liked to explore further. To improve the experience, we suggest removing the Sake stop to allocate more substantial time to the zoo and ropeway.

Very nice tour guide, Chinese and English explanations. It's a pity that I missed the red leaves, but the scenery is naturally beautiful
