This was an absolutely wonderful experience 💜. Our driver, Wei, was punctual for pickup and drop-off, and he clearly communicated important information about each attraction. Since our group was small and the weather was great, Wei proactively added some nearby attractions for us. He even pointed out popular photo spots! We visited seven places in one day, which was definitely excellent value for money for those without their own transportation! We are very grateful for Wei's flexible arrangements, which helped us create beautiful memories 😊.
Everything is excellent in general from transportation perspective, Wei (our driver) was great. Our tour day was cloudy so Mt. Yotei was not seen clearly. The schedule was packed with limited time to tour around if you have any elders with you. When we get to Lake Toya, most of the restaurants were closed, not sure why. We couldn’t get in to one of the opened restaurants because they were closing as well or they just didn’t want to service a group of 6. Everyone were flocked to close by 7 Eleven. Fireworks were acceptable as they repeated the same pattern from the left end and slowly move to the right end. If you don’t take the boat, then you just walk along the lake to view.
As it was my first time in Sapporo, I was a bit unfamiliar with the roads, but the tour guide was very patient and helped with directions via WeChat beforehand. The customized departure time perfectly met my expectations. At each attraction, they provided explanations and helped us avoid crowds so we could take photos comfortably. They even offered to take pictures for us, which was a great emotional value. For the Lake Toya fireworks display in the evening, they offered many suggestions and respected everyone's wishes, allowing us to explore freely. On the return trip, they thoughtfully asked and assisted in dropping us off near our accommodation, which was excellent. If any friends come to Sapporo in the future, I will highly recommend this guide.
Updated driver information is usually sent by around 8 PM the night before. This time, our driver was David, who is quite fluent in both Chinese and English. This package includes hotel pickup and drop-off, making it very convenient for families with elderly members or children. Aside from unpredictable weather conditions, it felt like having a personal driver and friend showing us around the sights. This round trip to the city was about 250 kilometers, and we were truly glad to have the driver's help. The price was around 1,500 NTD per person, which is quite worth it considering we didn't get back to the hotel until past 11 PM. If possible, please bring your own snacks and meals, as there isn't much to eat along the way.
The tour was great. Transportation was easy, pick up and drop off to my booked hotel closed to sapporo station. Mr Wei added another spot in the itinerary because we had extra time. Fireworks was short 20 minutes but it's alright. Perfect to end the day.
This small group tour offers convenient hotel pickup and drop-off, so there's no need to worry about transportation, even if you return to Sapporo after 11 PM. The itinerary is packed with activities, allowing you to see the fireworks without staying overnight at Lake Toya. The attractions aren't crowded, but the scenery is beautiful. Our driver and guide, Xiao Zhu, was excellent and drove safely. Highly recommended.
One of the most memorable trip of our lives: My fiancé and I had an amazing time with this tour! We thought we changed it up and try an evening tour which we absolutely love and enjoyed!! The fireworks was a bonus with the beautiful boat ride where my Fiancé dropped to one knee, loved everything about the places the driver Daniel took us and being so kind and considerate about my Fiancé surprise at the end!! Def a core memory for the both of us, thank you so much the team!! 🥰💍
Our guide and driver, David, was very responsible, and the itinerary's pick-up and drop-off service was very convenient for us. Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya were beautiful, and the fireworks display was quite impressive and lasted a long time. Mount Yotei was shy and only revealed two-thirds of itself to us, which added a mysterious beauty to the view.
