Jozankei Onsen tours

it was a tight schedule but to be honest it was really very good for the budget. you got to see a lot of places in one day. traffic is a bit worse at night so we havd little time for the last trip (beer museum). our guide was very helpful with a nice personality.

Thomas is amazing! he’s so accommodating and approachable. he’s transitioning from English to Chinese language to Japanese language. the trip was amazing and so the driver. he’s so smooth and I feel safe during the ride.

Although it was a big group, the tour guide managed it well and used Japanese, English and Chinese interchangeably so that everyone is given a brief of the places we headed to as well as the return time back to the bus. Tou also shared with us his personal F&B list on goggle maps. Because there was an event at Hokkaido Shrine, we had more time distributed for the other places which was great!

This tour felt like we were able to see so many different sides of Hokkaido in just one day. Everything was well organized, and the itinerary was followed smoothly throughout the day. Our tour guide, Jeremy, was incredibly helpful and made sure everything stayed on schedule. He also shared great recommendations for meal spots, which made the experience even better since we got to try some really good local food. Overall, it was a very enjoyable and memorable tour. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to explore these beautiful destinations comfortably and efficiently!

Highly recommended. The tour left at the meeting place on time. Habi, our tour guide, was very attentive to his guests and gave good preview of the tour destinations. The itinerary was packed but enjoyed them all. My sister and I ordered the lamb meat for lunch and it was so good.

It was an amazing trip! Yuni Garden and Hoheikyo Dam were definitely my favorite spots in the itinerary. Our guide Ma was kind and even contacted us via LINE to remind us about the meeting place and time. He speaks Chinese and English! He also gave great recommendations on where to go. Each destination had plenty of time to explore, especially Yuni Garden. I highly recommend this trip! I’d love to visit Yuni Garden again in spring and summer. 💗

Participation date: October 29, 2025. Due to the snowfall the day before, we couldn't visit Hoheikyo Gorge, which was a little disappointing, but we got to see the autumn leaves in the snow at Jozankei. Because the time spent at each attraction is limited, it's recommended to bring your own lunch or buy it at a convenience store and enjoy it by Lake Toya to have more time to enjoy the scenery. Be sure to check the Usuzan Ropeway schedule, as it's the most rushed attraction on the itinerary. I was lucky to meet punctual and friendly group members, and I thank tour guide Zhou and the driver for making the trip go smoothly. Overall, it's a very convenient option for independent travelers. (Note: Seats on the right side of the bus offer a chance to see Mt. Yotei up close on the return trip.)

It's not easy to create such a fulfilling day on our own. The schedule proceeded smoothly and on time, so we had a fulfilling tour. Most of the tourists were Chinese, and we were the only Korean family. The guide speaks English, but is fluent in Chinese. We understood most of the explanations from the itinerary and photos provided, and it was nice to be able to rest quietly in the car. We parted ways at the final beer factory tour, had enough time to drink, and continued with our own personal schedules.
