Had a lovely day trip with our guide, Kevin. Starting with snow mobile on a breath taking natural path, a quick break at Lake Toya Observation deck to buying lunch at 7-11, had it in the bus on the go. The whole day is like an adventure they promised. Kevin is clear on his explanation and instruction with a lot of recommendations on products must buy in Hokkaido. The bus driver, drives carefully and attentively. kudos to the duo. This trip is highly recommended.
We are grateful to our tour guide, Miss Serena. She is knowledgeable, professional, kind and very helpful. We have learned so much and we had so much fun. The tour package itself is fantastic. There is enough time for us to explore and enjoy these beautiful tourist spots. I highly recommend this tour package with Miss Serena as your guide. Many thanks
recommed! should try. fun heavy snow. tour guide willing help me to borrow a cash for snow bike becaue card cannot use. really helpful. enjoy it
On the day of our trip, the morning weather was clear and we were lucky enough to see Lake Toya and Mount Yotei; it started snowing heavily at noon, and we had a lot of fun playing in the soft snow (without having to ride a snowmobile): finally, at the Lake Shikotsu Ice Festival, we saw even more magnificent ice pillars! A truly worthwhile trip!
This is our first time in this area and we’re very happy that we picked this tour. Our tour guide Jenny is really cheerful and helpful too. She describes every stop complete. We enjoyed everything in this tour.
The overall itinerary was really fun a beautiful. The time wasn’t so hectic but I was hoping we just had more time with the ice festival. But still overall it’s a nice tour and Chillin, our tour guide provided a lot of good info and even tips and food to try.
Our tour guide, Joy, took great care of every traveler's needs and deserves recognition! The Lake Shikotsu Ice Festival is a must-see, highly recommended!
