The weather was sunny today, so we saw the beautiful Lake Toya, and also admired Showa Shinzan and the magnificent Noboribetsu Hell Valley. Our guide, Mr. Huang, managed the time very well, and his Mandarin and English guided explanations were very clear. I highly recommend this trip.

A packed itinerary but a real value for money. Wish we could have stayed longer at most of the locations as they were so pretty and worth exploring. Guide was friendly and informative.

Lisa, our guide, is passionate and takes excellent care of the guests. She smiles all day and takes care of people from different countries, providing separate explanations for each. Thanks to her, it was a safe and well-protected tour.

Very big hotel. The onsen is awesome. My son loves the swimming pool area. Room was spacious and clean. Breakfast and dinner were very good. Location is great, walkable to convenience stores, souvenir shops and other sightseeing spots. They are sharing carpark with Jigokudani Observation Deck, hence you can check in first to get the parking ticket before going to the Jigokudani.

Our tour guide, Huang Lei, and driver, Sato, provided outstanding and professional service. Huang Lei's on-board introductions to the sights were lively and engaging. The 30/40/60-minute stops at each attraction were perfect for our first trip to Hokkaido, traveling with elderly family members, not driving, and having a limited number of travel days. If it hadn't rained that day, it would have been a perfect group tour.
