Our tour guide, Xiao Dong, provided very detailed explanations. After we boarded the bus, he immediately informed us about Otaru's famous products and shops. On August 15th, the wind was very strong when we went to Mount Moiwa to see the night view, so he suggested bringing a jacket. This tour allowed us to capture both the sunset and the night view, and we were very satisfied!
TRANSPORT: We were picked up and dropped off from Tokyo REI. Our guide, Lisa, was easy to find with her Easy GO flag and helped find our seats easily. The bus had plenty of over head space to store our souvenirs. GUIDE: Our guide was Lisa (our second time having her as a guide) She was very friendly and informative. Lisa helped make the tour enjoyable with her amazing personality. She even recommended some other places to visit while in Sapporo. We were very happy to have had her again. ITINERARY: Everything flowed smoothly and made sight seeing enjoyable. Some things to note: There is a small steep climb up to the lighthouse so be prepared. For Jozankei foot spa, you can buy a souvenir towel in Futami foot bath. It costs 300yen and ONLY accepts 100yen coins. There is no change machine in the area. OVERALL: Amazing tour and highly recommend! 10/10 experience
It was well planned and everything went smoothly. The guide was friendly and provided a lot of information during the trip. Sufficient time at Otaru, but insufficient time at Mt Moiwa to see the city light up. The highlight for me was Otaru and Jozankei!
Tour guide Liu gave a lively introduction on the bus. We set out on the second day of Silver Week and truly experienced the popularity of the Mt. Moiwa night view—we had to wait an hour just to go down the mountain, though thankfully the tour bus was still there, leaving us with only about 10 minutes to enjoy the night view. A lot of time was allotted for Otaru, so I was also able to visit the Financial Museum (where you can experience lifting 1 billion yen in paper money) and the Chiikawa store. If you are worried about not having enough time for shopping and photos, it is best to just grab a light snack. In the end, I had ramen for dinner in Jozankei; the 35-minute stop was just enough to eat some ramen and fill my stomach, but there was no time to soak in the foot bath. Additionally, the 40-minute stop at Shiroi Koibito Park is very brief, so printing a custom tin box might be cutting it close, especially if there is a line, though making a small magnet accessory only takes 15 minutes and is definitely doable.
Otaru Shopping Street is great for browsing, with plenty of food options and ample time to explore. The air at Jozankei is incredibly fresh, though there are quite a few insects. Enjoying a foot bath indoors and savoring a moment of tranquility was a memorable part of the trip. The night view from Mount Moiwa is one of Hokkaido's top three and is definitely worth seeing. Our guide and driver, Mr. Kobayashi, was flexible with the schedule and considerate of different travelers' needs. Whenever my sister had questions, he always did his best to offer advice. Thank you! This itinerary didn't start until after 10 AM, and we spent the whole day exploring without feeling rushed. It was a very rich and fulfilling experience! Thanks to Easygo for the arrangements!
A great choice if you want a beautiful, flexible, and well‑organized tour that lets you make the most out of a short travel window. Highly recommended for anyone who wants freedom and variety without sacrificing convenience.
Our tour guide and driver, Mr. Lin, was very kind and attentive. He also recommended delicious restaurants and desserts. We had plenty of time at each attraction and never felt rushed. The night view was incredibly beautiful.
Our driver/guide, Lee, made sure we still make the most out of our day despite the bad weather that day, plus he takes great pictures of us! 👏 He’s very friendly, approachable and really takes effort to communicate with us well despite the language barrier. The itinerary was also value for money considering the number of locations we visited, and time spent on each is just right. Thanks Mr. Lee for making it a memorable tour for our family!
