Reviews
was great! the guide was very helpful — amazed at how many languages he spoke tbh 🥹the guide was also very savvy with the time — we were always 15 mins ahead of the crowd in each place (got to take nice pics)… such beautiful places we went to! I do think the snow mobile’s price was daylight robbery but thats not the tour’s fault lol … also the lunch, I would’ve preferred the buffet (maybe an option shouldve been offered, even for an extra fee) hehehe … other than that, it was such a nice trip 🌻
If I could give 10 stars to Joe and the driver, I absolutely would. I’ve been on many tours in Japan and in other countries, but Joe and the driver are on another level when it comes to taking care of their guests. Joe is incredibly kind, very informative, and always made sure we were satisfied — from the tour experience to the food. He really goes the extra mile to ensure everyone is comfortable and happy. The lunch was super delicious too! Truly a 10-star experience. Highly recommended!
We had a great, pleasant and exciting tour to Shikisai no Oka, Shirahige Waterfall and Ningle Terrace. Everything was well-paced and we managed to visit all the places comfortably thanks to the great weather that day. Our tour guide Joe was absolutely amazing. He’s very friendly, knowledgeable and gave clear, detailed explanations throughout the tour. The itinerary was well-structured and we never felt rushed. A special shoutout to Joe for arranging a Muslim-friendly lunch for us such a thoughtful gesture that we truly appreciated. The bus transportation was very comfortable and Joe always reminded us about toilet breaks, which made the journey even more pleasant. Overall, it was a smooth and enjoyable experience from start to finish. 5 stars to Joe and the tour company highly recommended! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Overall, the entire trip was a great experience! Our guide, Joe, took excellent care of everyone, and throughout the tour, he provided lots of information about Hokkaido's geography and related knowledge. The Four Seasons Hill snowmobile (at your own expense) is very worthwhile! The weather that day was superb! The ride was accompanied by beautiful scenery, and people from Taiwan will truly be immersed in this snowy world! Joe also proactively helped everyone take pictures, allowing everyone to create wonderful memories. The White Beard Waterfall was unbelievably beautiful, with the turquoise water visible to the naked eye, paired with stunning mountain scenery! The seafood for lunch was very fresh, overall very delicious, and we were very full! We were very lucky that the Fairy Terrace was open that day. It's right next to a ski resort, so there were quite a few tourists, but it was less crowded if you walked a bit further in, making it easier to take photos. The entire trip was very enjoyable. There were two groups that happened to cancel that day, so Joe also reminded everyone that they could sit comfortably. It's a very worthwhile day trip!
We had a great time.❄️🤗 Thank you so much to Mr. Joe for being so kind and for making sure that everyone is safe and comfortable. All instructions were clearly given by Mr. Joe and his good time management was the key that we were able to visit the places. The snowmobile experience was also fun! Thank you once again, Mr Joe and to our driver 🫶🤗
Had a great experience with this day trip. Our guide, Catherine, was awesome. She was on time, super nice and friendly, genuinely kind, and knowledgeable. The whole trip felt very chill and not rushed, which made it way more enjoyable. She was also took the time to explain things multiple times in different languages, so everyone could follow along easily. You could tell she was really sincere and cared about the group. Overall, it was such a smooth and fun day trip. Definitely recommend if you want a relaxed and well-organized experience. 👍👍
Thank you to our tour guide Joe and the bus driver, for the fun and relaxing tour. Highly recommended! Thumbs up for preparing a muslim friendly seafood lunch. The hot meal was a life saver in the freezing weather. The stop at Shikisai-no-oka for snow mobile and snow raft was a lot of fun! Shirahige Falls was beautiful too! We enjoyed the tour very much and wish all the best for Joe and his team at JC Group!
This tour was amazing. It was really relaxing, and I felt incredibly comfortable during the ride and when we visited the attractions. Our tour guide, Joe, always made sure that everyone was having fun, was on the bus, and was comfortable. I would highly recommend this, and I wish everyone could have Joe if they are going on this tour because he was amazing.
This is the best day trip I've ever been on. Our tour guide, Joe, was very professional and introduced many Japanese seasonal tourist attractions and foods. He was also amazing at switching between English, Chinese, and Cantonese. There were less than 10 people in our group, but we got a tour bus. They didn't switch to a smaller bus just because there were fewer people, which was great. Also, because there were so few people, our tour guide Joe was able to help us take pictures and didn't neglect me just because I was traveling alone. He really took care of solo travelers. I also didn't expect that meals were included. Very few day trips include meals (requires purchase). The set meal we had for lunch was also very delicious. The tour guide also reminded us to be careful when walking, and it was okay even if we were a few minutes late. They really took care of us and made my day a pleasant one!
Joe was incredible on our Hokkaido day trip. He was so friendly, full of great insights and such a kind person. He was willing to assist us in every way possible and everything was accommodated perfectly. The itinerary was great for a Christmas Day outing and loved that we started with the snowmobiles first before all the other tours got there. Would highly recommend Joe and this tour.
