Ting å gjøre i Otaru

Sunny var veldig hjelpsom og kunnskapsrik. En veldig hyggelig dag. Mye gode innspill både for denne turen og flotte spisesteder i Sapporo. Ga oss også all den fleksibiliteten vi kunne ha bedt om. Bussturen var også komfortabel. Det er en liten minibuss.

Severdighetene var nydelige! Jeg skulle ønske vi hadde mer tid ved Kapp Kamui og mindre i Otaru. Guiden vår, Oscar, var bare sånn passe i sine kommentarer, men han var veldig dyktig til å koordinere den store turgruppen og sørge for at alle var punktlige, så det setter jeg pris på.

Thank you for signing up for this meaningful trip. This journey allowed me to see many mountains and seas, and I can only admire Hokkaido's excellent ecological preservation. I saw so many beautiful sights in my lifetime. Hide diligently introduced the characteristics of each attraction throughout the trip and perfectly managed the time for each stop. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to visit so many places today. I also want to thank the other travelers for their patience, as the fifth stop, Cape Kamui, involved a longer walk than expected. Although Hide gave us plenty of time, I was the last one back to the car, exceeding the meeting time by five minutes. On the way back, Hide even shared recommendations for Sapporo's local cuisine, which was exactly what I was hoping for.

Guide Lee Hye-in, thank you so much for today, and for all your hard work. Even though it was cold with rain and wind, thank you for walking around with us and taking photos. Thanks to you, we're leaving with wonderful photo memories.

Our tour guide, Sister Rourou, is beautiful and kind-hearted. The itinerary was perfectly arranged, balanced, and she was very responsible, making for an excellent experience! On the bus, she introduced us to the background and features of the attractions, showed us local Ezo deer we encountered and tulips blooming along the road, pointed out the beautiful snow-capped mountains to our friends from tropical regions, and reminded us to enjoy the Sea of Japan scenery along the way. She even woke us up before we arrived at each attraction, which was very thoughtful! The one-day trip allowed us to experience the essence of Otaru and its surrounding attractions. We saw the spectacular cliffs against the Sea of Japan at Cape Kamui; learned about the birth of Japanese whisky at the Yoichi Distillery; visited the filming locations for 'Love Letter' and 'First Love,' Temiya Park and Mount Tengu. At Temiya Park, we saw late-blooming cherry blossoms, with the cherry trees complementing the distant sea view. At sunset, we overlooked the city of Otaru from the summit of Mount Tengu. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't ideal today, with heavy fog. Walking through the Tengu Shrine in the misty fog had a unique charm. We wish Sister Rourou success in her career and studies, and abundant prosperity ✌️.

It seemed like the lavender wasn't in full bloom yet, so I booked Otaru & Shakotan instead of Biei, and it was truly wonderful! Our guide, Itsuki, recommended great restaurants and took fantastic photos for us! Our guide was really... adorable...

It was well planned and everything went smoothly. The guide was friendly and provided a lot of information during the trip. Sufficient time at Otaru, but insufficient time at Mt Moiwa to see the city light up. The highlight for me was Otaru and Jozankei!

Denne turen føltes som om vi fikk se så mange forskjellige sider av Hokkaido på bare én dag. Alt var godt organisert, og reiseplanen ble fulgt knirkefritt gjennom hele dagen. Reiselederen vår, Jeremy, var utrolig hjelpsom og sørget for at alt holdt seg til timeplanen. Han delte også gode anbefalinger for spisesteder, noe som gjorde opplevelsen enda bedre siden vi fikk prøve noe veldig god lokal mat. Alt i alt var det en veldig hyggelig og minneverdig tur. Anbefales på det sterkeste for alle som ønsker å utforske disse vakre destinasjonene komfortabelt og effektivt!
