Passeios por Ario Sapporo

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.

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 paid a significant amount for this tour, but unfortunately, we were only able to spend 2 hours at the zoo due to the closure of the ropeway caused by the weather. It's important to note that the tour price, which was booked through Klook, was supposed to include admission to both the ropeway and the zoo. Despite the circumstances being beyond the control of the tour operator, I couldn't shake the feeling that I didn't get the full value for what we paid.

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.

I purposely chose the pick up time at 5.50pm so to catch the sunset. The driver, Mr Nakamura waited at our hotel lobby on time and spoke simple English. He handed out a detailed instruction in English and everything went well. We had a great night and took many memorable photos.
