The tour went smoothly. The operator and guide (Grace) messaged us a day before to give us her contact details so we can get in touch with her easily. All the sites that we went to were very interesting, most specially the zoo where you can see the animals which we in the tropics only see on TV. Was in awe with the polar bear and truly delighted with the penguins. For me this was the highlight of the tour.

The tour guide sister is amazing and the service is very good. But because there are too many schedules, sometimes she is a little rushed, but generally it is really good ~

Although the itinerary was a little rushed, the overall experience was good. The tour guide shared Hokkaido-related experience and knowledge, which was very useful. It is recommended that you prepare your own lunch first, so you don’t need to rush for time at the zoo and queue up to buy lunch.

The tour guide Grace is very professional. Transportation is not convenient during the snow season. It is just right to participate in such a one-day tour. It is a good experience and I have a lot of fun!

Basically, being able to complete four itineraries in one day is already very impressive. The tour guide Xiaoyan is very kind and patient. She will help if you have any questions. Recommended
