Review for: Hokkaido Sounkyo Gorge Autumn Foliage Day Trip: Sounkyo Onsen Town, Ginga & Ryusei Waterfalls, Mt. Kurodake Ropeway, and

The tour guide was punctual, friendly, polite, and provided clear explanations of the scenery and history. Highly recommended.

Review for: Hokkaido Sounkyo Gorge Autumn Foliage Day Trip: Sounkyo Onsen Town, Ginga & Ryusei Waterfalls, Mt. Kurodake Ropeway, and

1. The pickup location marked on the map was inaccurate, and the tour guide wasn't holding a flag. We had to walk around back and forth ourselves to find them. 2. Two-thirds of the time was spent on the bus, with very little time at the attractions. 3. The price is truly expensive. Although it included the scenic area cable car ticket (which only costs a little over 100 RMB), I booked another day tour that offered much better value, with lower prices and more places visited. Overall, the value for money is poor, and I wouldn't recommend booking this, though the scenery is nice.

Review for: Hokkaido Sounkyo Gorge Autumn Foliage Day Trip: Sounkyo Onsen Town, Ginga & Ryusei Waterfalls, Mt. Kurodake Ropeway, and

We spent a long time driving for a very brief itinerary. Once broken down, it was not worth the time. The bus was old but relatively clean. The meeting point was poorly marked, and the tour leader did not hold a flag, making them very hard to find. It was a waste of a whole day.
