Otaru Canal tours

Japanese tours are very organized! they will chat you ahead of time with itinerary details. our guide, Kevin, chats our next itinerary & meet up point. he has his own camera that he takes photo of us. if you want sceneric view and relax mode, this is the best,except hiking in the morning so wear comfy shoes.haha. we did not do the cruise, it is a good choice since you cannot explore shopping stores if you did this. one flaw, the end time is 6PM but was on city by 5P, nonetheless, this tour is a must have in sapporo.

Amazing tour, there is no rush, plently of time to do walk finish the cape kamui and have delicious lunch as well 😊. It was a small tour group so there wasnt much waiting for each other. Great tour will reccommend for others to go in late june, cool weather and blue sky 😊

I always travel independently, so this was my first guided tour. Despite the weather forecast being good, I was able to book it last minute the day before. We followed the itinerary below. I personally preferred this course over other Korean-speaking tours, which is why I chose it. Sapporo Station ~ Otaru Canal (20 min) ~ Kitaichi Glass Workshop (2 hours, free time for lunch) ~ Cape Kamui (1 hour) ~ Shimamui Coast (15 min) ~ Golden Cape (40 min) ~ Sapporo Station The guide was proficient in Japanese, Chinese, and English, and provided clear explanations at each point of interest. Even though I was the only Japanese speaker, they made sure to include me. I'm not sure of the exact group size limit, but it was a relatively small group of around 10 people, which made managing the group and keeping to the schedule easy. As someone who prefers independent travel, I didn't experience any major inconvenience. Because the group was small, we used a medium-sized bus instead of a large one. I think the price was reasonable, and the prices for other Shakotan tours seemed similar without much difference. There are no public bus services, and even if there were, the transportation costs would likely be similar due to the distance. I don't have a basis for comparison as I don't know about other tours, but this tour, while not extravagant, was complete with transportation, explanations, and guidance. I met a great guide on my first guided tour and got to see the beautiful Shakotan Blue. Thank you. *Regardless of which tour you choose, please consider your attire and physical condition, as there are many uphill sections in the Shakotan tourist areas.

Rourou was a great tour guide with clear instructions in both english and chinese. The itinerary was well planned and had enough time to explore each place. Highly recommended for anyone looking to go on a day trip to both cape kamui and Otaru!

The trip was so worth it! It was such a beautiful and memorable sightseeing trip that I don’t think I’ll ever forget. Danny, our tour guide, was very polite and organised, which made the whole trip a breeze. Do remember to wear comfortable walking shoes, as Cape Kamui can be quite a hike. But don’t let that scare you! The views along the way and at the end are absolutely stunning and make every step worth it. I highly recommend this trip if you’re a nature and scenery lover. Definitely one of the highlights of my time in Hokkaido ❤️‍🔥

Our driver and guide, Jun (if I didn’t get it wrong) arrived promptly to pick us up from the meet up point. He conversed in both English and Chinese. Ours was a small group of 4, and the trip went smoothly. He brought us to the different attractions and gave us ample free time to explore them.

When you book on Klook, you'll receive the license plate number and the tour leader's phone number before 4 PM the day before departure. You can choose to contact them via WhatsApp or Line. We departed on July 2nd, and the tour leader, Xiao Li, reminded us to take care of ourselves in the 38-degree heat, stay hydrated, and carefully assisted us when getting on and off the bus. I especially appreciated the very strong air conditioning on the tour bus. If you're not driving, transportation to these two locations is very inconvenient, so I recommend taking a day trip.

I had a fantastic time on the Hokkaido Otaru: Kamui Cape, Blue Cave & Otaru Canal tour. Our guide, Alisa, was wonderful—so nice and explained everything in both English and Mandarin with such infectious enthusiasm!
