Oyunuma Pond -kierrokset

my guide, Rii, was very informative and thoughtful. She can converse in english and mandarin. We were provided a 13 seater van for 6 random people. She catered the front seats for my injured leg so that it was easier for me. She took initiative to snap photos for us. Though the travel time at each stop is fairly short, thankfully it was not crowd season, so still able to cover most of each stop. Through the trip, we were given insights of hokkaido history and details of every site. A little sad that i couldnt cover oyunuma pond since i cant climb the hill at noboribetsu. I enjoyed the Bocca yogurt at lake toya and Guarana(Hokkaido's coca cola) recommended by Rii. The baby brown bears were super cute at the bear ranch. For otaru, there was no time for buying famous sweets (letao, rokkusei, ryugetsu) due to the crowd (but all these brands can be found in sapporo station). Covered Otaru canal, kitachi glass, music box museum, miffy port town(specially designed items for otaru only)

It was a trip where I truly experienced the magnificent nature of Hokkaido! Our guide, Hikaru, provided detailed explanations and even shared some funny jokes, making sure there was never a dull moment. Thank you for making this such an enjoyable trip!

it’s a beautiful tour, don’t get me wrong. but have clear expectations to what you’re going to see, if you have travelled Japan, there will be nothing new for you to see. I wouldn’t put this as top of my list for visiting Sapporo. Tour guide was great and I have no complaints about organization or tour company.

Oppaamme Allen oli erittäin avulias ja asiantunteva. Hän jakoi paljon paikallisia tarinoita, mikä on paljon parempaa kuin lukea artikkeleita Hokkaidon historiasta ja kulttuurista. Toivoisimme, että meillä olisi ollut 30 minuuttia enemmän aikaa Otarussa rauhalliseen kävelyyn ja kauniin kaupungin tunnelman imemiseen.

Nautin tästä retkestä ja suosittelen sitä lämpimästi, jos haluat tutustua Sapporon eri alueisiin/paikkoihin. Nautin tästä paljon enemmän kuin eilisestä koko päivän kirsikankukkaretkestä. Oppaamme Xixi oli myös asiantunteva alueesta ja arvostan sitä, että hän korosti aikaa palata bussiimme. Hän otti minusta myös hyviä kuvia. Sää oli myös mukava, mikä lisäsi retken onnistumista. Ehkä palaan tänne perheen kanssa ja varaan tämän retken uudelleen. Kiitos Klook 🥰

I chose this tour because there weren't many options with a Korean-speaking guide for this particular route. I also liked the late start, which allowed for a relaxed morning. Ultimately, I was very satisfied. The tour was led by two guides, one Korean-speaking and one English-speaking. Our Korean-speaking guide, Sei, was particularly excellent, sharing interesting folklore and historical stories related to each spot, which made the travel enjoyable and never boring. I also appreciated her proactive efforts to take photos for us! If I visit Japan again, I would definitely like to use Tour Story!

The tour was a mixed experience. Unfortunately, the tour guide Yao Yao felt disengaged, unapproachable, and did not seem to care much about the group. Fukidashi Park was underwhelming, and the Lake Toya snowmobile activity was missing despite being stated in the itinerary, which felt misleading. Time at the Lake Toya viewpoint was too short, though the view itself was decent. On the positive side, Lake Hill Farm was great—the ice cream is a must-try. Showa Shinzan Bear Ranch was fun, especially feeding the bears. Noboribetsu Jigokudani Valley was alright overall.

I thought I booked my tour for the 15th, but I found out it was for the 17th (I planned to leave for Biei on the 17th). I talked to the guide, Joy, and she was able to make exception for me to join the group for the 15th. Joy was an amazing guide, full of enthusiaism and humor. I was the only English participant and she took the time to go over the details one on one. Nothing felt rushed. Would recommend Joy as your tour guide any day.

Minulla oli upea retkikokemus! Kaikki oli hyvin järjestettyä, nautinnollista ja ylitti odotuksemme. Erityinen kiitos herra Kevinille, joka oli erinomainen ja mukautuva opas. Hän oli ystävällinen, huomaavainen ja varmisti aina, että kaikki olivat mukavia koko matkan ajan. Yksi asia, jota arvostin erityisesti, oli se, miten hän otti kauniita valokuvia jokaisesta meistä jokaisessa paikassa, auttaen meitä ikuistamaan unohtumattomia muistoja retkeltä. Hänen ammattitaitonsa, kärsivällisyytensä ja omistautumisensa tekivät kokemuksesta entistäkin erityisemmän. Suosittelemme tätä retkeä lämpimästi, ja olemme kiitollisia herra Kevinille siitä, että hän teki siitä niin ikimuistoisen matkan. Kiitos!
