Coisas para fazer em Lake Shikotsu

The itinerary was incredibly rich: it included Lake Shikotsu, Lake Toya, Showa-shinzan Bear Park, Lake Hill Farm, and a boat cruise to watch fireworks. Our guide, Hikaru, was very competent, and the schedule was well-arranged. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't ideal, with clouds and light rain that day, but we still had a fantastic time. Highly recommended.

It was a trip where I truly experienced the magnificent nature of Hokkaido! Our guide, Hikaru, provided detailed explanations and even shared some funny jokes, making sure there was never a dull moment. Thank you for making this such an enjoyable trip!

Nosso guia, Alex, foi ótimo e ajudou a tirar fotos de muitos de nós. Ele também compartilhou informações sobre as atrações que visitamos em inglês e chinês. Os tempos alocados para cada atração também foram ideais. Para aqueles sem transporte, valeu a pena o dinheiro.

Recentemente, fiz este passeio de um dia aos lagos Toya e Shikotsu, e valeu absolutamente o dinheiro. É um itinerário muito bem planeado que nos permitiu ver vários dos mais belos marcos naturais de Hokkaido num único dia, sem nos sentirmos excessivamente apressados. A nossa guia, Xixi, foi fantástica. Ela era incrivelmente conhecedora e fez de tudo para tornar a viagem memorável. Não só forneceu excelentes comentários sobre os locais que visitámos, como também partilhou uma riqueza de recomendações "privilegiadas" para outros locais a visitar em Hokkaido e nos indicou os restaurantes "melhores na categoria" para comida local.

Our tour guide, Ella, was very professional in her explanations and helped us purchase tickets. Her time management was excellent, allowing us to visit sites efficiently. I give her five stars. My main concern was that the mini-bus drove extremely fast. It was the fastest I've experienced in Japan (we didn't even take the highway on this trip). Combined with numerous potholes and hairpin turns, the vehicle often vibrated. On the return night drive, I was frequently worried about the speed affecting our safety. Perhaps the packed itinerary meant the driver had to rush. As other reviews have mentioned, the bear farm isn't a necessary stop. Also, the Lake Toya fireworks were very small and lacked music. If you've seen other artistic fireworks displays in Japan, you might not need to include the Lake Toya fireworks on your viewing list.

Fiz a viagem com a hide cai. Gostei do ritmo e os locais eram o que eu queria ver. O guia turístico falava bem inglês e conseguiu fornecer informações valiosas sobre os locais que visitamos. O tempo também colaborou hoje e não encontramos nenhuma chuva.

We had a lovely time on this sightseeing tour. It was very well organized. We found the meet up point without difficulty. The tour bus was clean and spacious. Our tour guide spoke japanese and limited English. The tour provides a multilingual audio guide that explains the history of the places we visited. The surprising highlight of the trip was the Japanese set lunch at an onsen hotel with amazing views of Lake Toya! We appreciated that the entrance fee to the ropeway was included. Overall it was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the beauty of Hokkaido.
