It was my first time staying at Tokyu Hotel. I felt their service attitude was very good. There was a microwave and washing machine in the room, which was very convenient. I would recommend it!

I had a good time. If you come to Hokkaido, I recommend that you take a trip to nearby areas. There are many companies, but I recommend Wakuwaku.

The weather was perfect, and the guide's hard work was perfect. At every photo spot, even though it was hot, they took great pictures, and even helped us make reservations for restaurants until the end of the tour😍 I was so touched!! I want to come to Sapporo in winter again, and do another tour. Thank you for making it such a fun time❣️

I traveled with guide teacher Izawa on July 1st! First of all 🛻- Transportation There is a dedicated WakuWaku bus, so it was easy to find all at once. At first, I was going to travel independently, but I changed it to a day tour, but if I had gone independently, it might have been my last trip as a mother and daughter... I felt that independent travel is really not easy. It was perfect for replenishing energy in the middle of the move. 🪻- The scenery was really pretty. The lavender was in full bloom, so the pictures turned out well and it was nice to look at! We went to White Beard Falls and Blue Lake in between, but actually, I think these two places looked prettier because I didn't have high expectations :) If you want a refreshing and open feeling, I think you'll be really satisfied! 🫶-Guide, I think I wrote everything in detail in the beginning just to write this. My satisfaction with the package tour with my mom was the best, and it was all thanks to the guide teacher Izawa. I am an extremely introverted person who likes to be alone, and I have an individualistic personality, so I worried about the package, and I really worried about whether I should go or not until the very last minute^^.. I did it a lot, but the guide teacher gave me quizzes here and there for the perfect number of people, and explained the meaning of the places we went to, hidden stories, and even the history of Sapporo and Hokkaido in a short but really informative and fun way, and the rest of the time was free time, so I was able to move quietly and get only fun information without any pressure, so it was so great!! 🥺💗 I'm going to go to Korea and pretend to know a lot to my friends ㅎㅎ And the guide teacher really knows a thing or two about food!! She explained the delicious restaurants and snacks we should eat at each place, and they were all really delicious without any mistakes ㅠㅠ In particular, I'm a bread-bread-bread person and often go to Seongsimdang, so most breads don't catch my eye, but the cream puffs that the teacher recommended were so unforgettable... They were so delicious... I should've bought two more... I wanted to take pictures just the way I wanted them to ㅠㅠ Thanks to you, I think I got the shots of a lifetime and had a fulfilling time. If I ever come to Sapporo again or if people around me tell me they're going, I'll definitely recommend this tour😭💗

Check-in was a breeze. Staff were very accomodating in my request for our rooms to be on the same floor. They also are very kind in answering our questions. Free coffee and ice cream from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM!

Sapporo Travel Review – A Special Destination Found Thanks to My Child’s Birthday and Morning Calm Mileage This year, while I was thinking about a destination to celebrate my 5-year-old child’s birthday and maintain my Korean Air Morning Calm Mileage, ‘Sapporo’ caught my eye. It was my first time to Sapporo in the summer, so I was half excited and half excited about the trip, but after the trip, I felt like I had a great time. The highlight of this trip was Indigo Travel’s Biei Tour. It was touching to see the refreshing scenery of Biei that I had only seen in pictures with my own eyes, but what was even more impressive was our guide, Ire. She took care of each and every traveler warmly, took photos at each point, and made the atmosphere comfortable, so it felt like traveling with an old friend. The explanations were kind, and the stories that showed her affection for the region made the trip even more profound. The Patchwork Road, the Blue Lake, and the Shirahige Falls, which spread out along the wind and the clouds, were all unmissable landscapes, and I think the photos she took there will remain as memories for a lifetime. It was a trip that started with the small reason of maintaining mileage, but it was an unforgettable experience that made my child's birthday even more special, and above all, it was a warmer and more fulfilling trip because I met a great guide. If I visit Sapporo again, and if I go to Biei again, I definitely want to go with Ire Guide again. I sincerely thank Indigo Travel and Ire Guide!
