Passeios por Hokkaido University

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.

大前先生と北海道宝島トラベル様、直前の集合場所変更にご対応いただきありがとうございました。藻岩山と旭山記念公園で素晴らしい時間を過ごしました。どちらの場所も景色が美しかったです。旭山公園では2頭の鹿を見ることができ、幸運でした。大前先生、写真撮影を手伝ってくださりありがとうございました。友人や家族にもお勧めします。

Our guide, Alex, was great and helped to take photos of many of us. He also shared bits and pieces of information about the attractions we went to in English and Chinese. The timings allocated for each attraction was also just nice. For those without transport, this was worth the money.

The tour was great! Our guide, Leo, took care of all our needs. He gave us a brief history of every location we went to, which we appreciated a lot. For a full flower bloom experience, I suggest going during the middle of summer. I highly recommend choosing Leo and the ISCC team for a hassle-free and enjoyable trip.

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!

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!

Our driver/guide was named Leo, who is half Japanese half Turkish, who speaks excellent English. He brought us to visit Otaru’s landmarks such as the Otaru Canal, Cape Kamui, Shimamui Coast, and went to the Otaru Box Museum and to the LeTao cafe shops at Sakaimachihondori shopping streets. We also got to eat in the famous Sankaku Market where we ate king crabs, abalone and other seafood dishes. Next day we went to Noboribetsu and Lake Toya, to the quaint Lake Hill Farm to try their famous ice cream and some pudding desserts. We went to the Hells Valley and the Hills of the Buddha, the Moai statues and Stonehenge. We also had our first taste of Hokkaido ramen at Noboribetsu. It was an enjoyable 2 days and Leo made sure we got to explore the places within the 10-hour time schedule. He drove very well and always made sure he was ready to pick us up when we were done in a place.

We were picked up from our hotel at 8:30 am and then headed to our planned itinerary. We swapped Asahiyama Zoo for Furano Shrine and Furano Marche. We then proceeded to Ningle Terrace, Furano Farm Tomita, where we had lunch. After that, we went to Biei Blue Pond, Shikisai no Oka, and Shirahige Waterfall. The driver suggested we visit Ningle Terrace first since it was on the way, and we agreed. However, most shops were still closed as we arrived quite early. Even so, the place was a spectacular sight to visit. The driver spoke Chinese, which we did not, so we communicated using Google Translate. He drove professionally and safely. I would recommend this trip as the listed places are difficult to access by public transport, especially if you have an elderly person in your group, as it would involve a lot of walking if you choose to use the bus or train. * Please keep a few hundred yen for parking and toll fees, as these are at the customer's expense, as highlighted during booking.
