Otaru Orgel Museum-turer

Bestilte denne turen hovedsakelig fordi jeg ønsket å besøke Cape Kamui, som ikke er lett å nå med offentlig transport. Å se det berømte Shakotan Blue på en klar dag var absolutt verdt prisen og den lange reisen. Den store bonusen var å få se Shakotan-kysten, besøke Otaru og stoppe ved Shiroi Koibito Park på samme dag. Som forventet var tidsskjemaet ganske stramt, men dette er forståelig med tanke på de lange avstandene vi måtte tilbakelegge og antall steder som var inkludert i reiseruten. Vår guide, Cici, var hyggelig og hjelpsom. Imidlertid følte jeg at turen kunne ha vært mer informativ. Hun ga oversettelser på japansk og kinesisk og leste de engelske beskrivelsene fra notatene sine, men det var ikke mye ekstra interessant informasjon eller historiefortelling om stedene vi besøkte. Litt mer bakgrunnsskildring, lokalhistorie eller interessante fakta ville ha gjort opplevelsen mer engasjerende.

Miss Marica was very punctual. Even though it was a stormy day with rain and snow, she drove comfortably, took us even to nearby places, and when we asked about places like coffee shops, she recommended a great spot. The car was also so comfortable that I traveled almost the entire time sleeping in a nearly lying-down position.

We really enjoyed the trip to Hell Valley, Lake Toya and Otaru. Our tour guide is very nice,professional,and thoughtful. He explained the history of Hokkaido and every scenic spots in detail . we booked three tours via klook. We got to say that compared to other tour guides in other tour group, this tour guide has excellent language skills in English, Chinese and Japanese. And we also noticed that during our trip only one visitor from Spain needed to have English interpretation. In order not to disturb other visitors, he walked to the back row,sat with him and interpreted for him. Other things which impressed us a lot are a variety of music boxes and steaming Hell Vally. By the way, we will definitely come back to Hokkaido in the winter again.

The schedule for this trip was very well organized, with appropriate time allocated for each attraction. The tour guide, Xiao Liao, provided prompt reminders and warm, professional service, communicating very well in Chinese, English, and Japanese. By the way, participants can choose between the Yoichi Distillery and the fruit-picking orchard based on their preferences, and the driver will pick everyone up individually.

Vi hadde en fantastisk tur der vi besøkte Shakotan-blått, Otaru-kanalen og Shiroi Koibito Park. Reiselederen vår, Hong, var enestående – kommunikasjonen hans om møtesteder og forventninger til turen var alltid tydelig og godt organisert. Jeg var spesielt imponert over hans evne til å snakke flytende koreansk, engelsk og kinesisk, noe som gjorde at han uanstrengt tok seg av de ulike nasjonalitetene i gruppen vår. Anbefales på det sterkeste!

We were blessed to have Rick as our tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and speaks English, Chinese and Japanese fluently. The itinerary was well planned, and we had so much fun today. We also had an excellent driver, which made it easy to relax and rest on the bus between stops. If you’re climbing Cape Kamui, do wear comfortable shoes. It’s quite a climb, but the views are absolutely worth it. Highly recommend this tour, especially for first-time visitors to Hokkaido!
