Things to do in Fu's Snow Area

We had a wonderful trip led by our guide, Donghwan! We chose this tour because it included the Hill of the Buddha, Otaru, and another stop in between. I traveled with a friend on Friday, September 18th. The weather was hotter than Seoul, with strong autumn sunshine. Short sleeves, shorts, and a light cardigan were perfectly sufficient. Our guide provided explanations about our destination just before arrival and also recommended places to visit and eat in Otaru, which was very helpful. If you're considering this tour, just keep in mind that lunch is usually after 2 PM and will be in Otaru!

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.

I brought my friends along, and we all had a great time. The drive wasn't short, but the multiple stops for rest and breaks made it manageable. For some attractions, we had the option to purchase tickets to enter, and there was no pressure to do so. The driver was very kind and always gave us timely reminders for meeting times.

Vivi was an excellent tour guide. She was very patient in describing each site and even provided additional information about the general area we were in. Wished we had more time at the Hill of the Buddha but overall it was a worthwhile tour.

This was my first time on a one-day tour, and the experience was fantastic! We departed from Sapporo and visited the Hill of the Buddha, Jozankei, Lake Toya, and Noboribetsu Hell Valley. Each stop had its own unique charm. Our tour guide, Ms. Zhou, was especially kind and professional throughout the entire trip. She shared the history, culture, and unique features of each place with us. We definitely wouldn't have had such a great experience if we had come on our own. She also took wonderful photos! I'm truly grateful to her. I highly recommend this tour, and I'll definitely book a similar one-day tour next time I visit.

Worth the price and highly recommended! We covered a lot of places in one day, especially attractions that are not easily accessible by public transport. The schedule was quite tight, but that was understandable given how much we were able to see while keeping everything on time. Our guide, Leo, was commendable. He gave interesting and informative descriptions of each place and also shared helpful suggestions on what to eat and what special products or souvenirs to buy at each destination. Overall, it was a great way to see many places efficiently without having to worry about transportation. Highly recommended if you want to maximise your time and experience several attractions in one day!

The only tour available I can find covering most of the hotspots we have i mind. Provided flexible arrangements as well depending on our interests and weather conditions. Thanks!

O-chan was the best tour guide. Very informative and flexible. We did three private tours in Sapporo and he was the best. We generally missed much of the tour crowds and he went out of his way to improve our day inclung helping with meal reservations.

This was such an amazing experience ! The best I’ve had since arriving in Japan! Yuki is very nice and welcoming, and she has the cutest cat ever 🥹. We talked a lot and I got to know her - I had a lot of fun making the Wagashi Sweets with her (she’s the best sensei you’ll find). She spoke English pretty well and we didn’t have any trouble understanding each other ! Mine didn’t turn out that great but I was so happy with them and they tasted amazing ! I don’t usually write comments on Klook but if I could I’d rate her a 11/10. I’m really thankful to her for welcoming me into her home (even when I was late) and taking the time to teach me and learn to know me better. I’ll for sure be back !
