Passeios por Hokkaido-Jingu Shrine

Het was een strak schema, maar eerlijk gezegd was het heel goed voor het budget. Je kreeg veel plaatsen te zien op één dag. Het verkeer is 's avonds wat slechter, dus we hadden weinig tijd voor de laatste trip (biermuseum). Onze gids was erg behulpzaam met een leuke persoonlijkheid.

Andy was charming and gave us tips on what to buy and what not to buy. We were lucky to have good weather during the tour. It was a challenge to finish the Cape Kamui walk, but the views were breathtaking and rewarding. The Shakotan tunnel was also interesting, with a soft-serve ice cream and souvenir shop. We had lunch in Otaru, where Andy showed us a very good seafood restaurant. It was fun just walking around afterward. Shiroi Koibito was also fascinating, where you can take many Instagram-worthy photos. It's already near Sapporo, which was great to know that we arrived early at the endpoint.

Thomas is amazing! He's so accommodating and approachable. He's transitioning from English to Chinese to Japanese. The trip was amazing, and so was the driver. He's so smooth, and I felt safe during the ride.

Our tour guide, Michelle, is from Hong Kong and speaks authentic Cantonese. Her service is professional and her attitude is friendly – excellent, excellent, excellent! Even with only three participants, the tour still proceeded, feeling like a private guided experience – excellent, excellent, excellent! With fewer people, there's no waiting, we visited many attractions, and the playtime was quite sufficient. Of course, if I went by myself, I could stay longer, but walking on snowy ground in winter is inconvenient. If there's a blizzard, having point-to-point car transfers would be even better. I will definitely join again next time I visit.

Aunque era un grupo grande, el guía turístico lo manejó bien y usó japonés, inglés y chino indistintamente para que todos recibieran una breve descripción de los lugares a los que nos dirigíamos, así como la hora de regreso al autobús. También compartió con nosotros su lista personal de restaurantes y bares en Google Maps. Como había un evento en el Santuario de Hokkaido, tuvimos más tiempo distribuido para los otros lugares, ¡lo cual fue genial!

We like all the places especially visit Otaru! it was fun and enjoy seafood there ( Kiku Sushi) 🍣, The tour guide Frank is very helpful and he alway make sure that everyone is on time which make the tour smoother when traveling a lot of people.

Akihiro-san was an excellent local English-speaking guide. He guided our family to destinations that locals would enjoy. He walked slowly to ensure my parents wouldn't be left behind and was considerate in finding elevators in train stations to make sure my parents were comfortable. I think my family and Akihiro-san connected well, as if we were long-time friends with him. We would definitely book again and hopefully have him as our tour guide. He went above and beyond as a tour guide, demonstrating genuine Japanese hospitality.

Our driver, Xiao Ma, was on time, pleasant, and efficient. We managed to visit all the places we wanted to see in Furano/Biei, including Farm Tomita, Shikisai No Oka, Blue Pond, Shirahige Falls, Mt. Tokachi, and Ningle Terrace. We even had a lovely lunch at a small restaurant on the way to Blue Pond. We were glad we chartered this service, as it allowed us to enjoy all these places at our own pace.
