Excursie de o zi la Lacul Albastru și Cascada Shirahige din Biei, Sapporo, iarna

Am participat la o excursie de o zi în Furano și Biei, cu plecare din Sapporo, prin Klook, iar experiența generală a fost excelentă. Deși drumul de la Sapporo la atracții a fost destul de lung, atmosfera generală a fost relaxată, deoarece a fost un grup mic, iar ghidul a putut să aibă grijă de fiecare călător, fără senzația de grabă specifică grupurilor mari de turiști. Atracțiile incluse în itinerar au fost, de asemenea, clasice, incluzând Ningle Terrace, Shirogane Blue Pond, Shirahige Falls și Christmas Tree no Ki din Biei. Am avut suficient timp pentru a face fotografii și a admira peisajele în fiecare loc. Un aspect deosebit de lăudat este faptul că ghidul a prezentat istoria și poveștile atracțiilor din Hokkaido în timpul călătoriei, putând explica atât în chineză, cât și în engleză, permițând călătorilor din diferite țări să înțeleagă contextul atracțiilor. Întreaga călătorie nu a însemnat doar admirarea peisajelor, ci și o mai bună înțelegere a culturii și originilor din Hokkaido. În general, itinerarul a fost bine organizat, ghidul a fost profesionist, iar atracțiile au meritat pe deplin vizita. Dacă este prima dată când vizitați Hokkaido și doriți să explorați Furano și Biei într-un mod relaxat, recomand cu căldură această excursie de o zi.

Am participat la excursia de o zi „Hokkaido Biei Winter Blue Pond & Shirahige Falls Light-Up” pe 11 februarie și a fost o experiență de neuitat! Ghidul nostru turistic, Habi, a fost fantastic – foarte prietenos, informativ și impresionant de fluent în cantoneză, engleză și mandarină. A făcut ca întreaga călătorie să fie lină și plăcută. Am început cu prânzul înainte de a ne îndrepta spre Ningle Terrace. Plimbarea de la autobuz a durat doar aproximativ 10 minute, dar zăpada groasă a făcut-o destul de dificilă – totuși, peisajul a meritat absolut. Apoi, am vizitat Takushinkan, urmat de Cascada Shirahige. Ultima oprire, Lacul Albastru Shirogane, frumos iluminat, a fost cu adevărat uluitoare iarna. Ne-am întors la Gara Sapporo, iar întregul tur a fost bine ritmat și bine organizat. Per total, o experiență minunată – o recomand cu căldură!

Snow was falling when we arrived at Ningle Terrace on Christmas Day, and from that moment the day felt like a gift. The timber cabins tucked into the forest glowed softly under fresh snow, setting the tone for everything that followed. We moved through open winter landscapes to the quiet stillness of Biei’s Christmas Tree, wandered among the pale trunks of the birch forest, and later felt the raw power of Shirahige Falls as it cut through the icy landscape. The day ended at the Shirogane Blue Pond, its colour unreal against the snow, a moment that felt almost suspended in time. Nothing was rushed, and each place was given the space it deserved. Carlos was incredibly kind and thoughtful, especially as I was travelling solo, and his care added a layer of warmth to an already beautiful Christmas Day.

Punctual schedule, Habi was really nice explaining everything in Cantonese Mandarine and English! All the place was really good, too bad we miss the sunset at Shirahige Waterfall. But I will definetly recomended this tour!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Such an amazing day! Had the best time on this guided tour — we visited Furano Winery, the birch trees, Shirahige Falls, and the stunning Blue Pond. Every stop was so beautiful! Our guide, Kalong, was awesome — super friendly, easy to talk to, and really knew his stuff. Everything ran smoothly and the whole experience was totally worth the money. Honestly, one of the highlights of my trip — highly recommend it!

I highly appreciate and would like to thank Habi for her engaging and sincere guide for the busy tour. She guided with 3 languages with simutaneous translations one after each other, making sure everyone is engaged. She also offered to take photos for everyone at each spot. In one case where one group of participant got lost, she guided them back to the bus and even apologized for them. Its a pleasure to be in this tour.

This was a fun and worthwhile experience to take while in Hokkaido, with the opportunity to take lots of beautiful pictures in unique places. Our tour guide, Habi, was also very helpful and informative. He also offered to take lots of pictures and offered to give advice and tips where to eat around Furano and Sapporo.

We got lost in Sapporo Station and cant find the meet up place and thankfully our guide found us. We are very grateful for his kind gesture. Along the way, He’s introducing the itinerary and some trivia both in Chinese and English which is amazing. We really enjoyed the trip from having a quick break on a rest stop, finding a hidden ramen gem during our own lunch in Furano downtown while snowing to taking beautiful photos in Ningle Terrace, Biei Christmas tree, Birch Forest, frozen Shirahige Waterfalls and the Illumination of the blue pond. He’s very nice, informative and caring for our safety walking on a snowy and slippery road. He got lots of nice to know things and very thankful for that. Not to forget our bus driver for a smooth ride on a snowy weather and brought us back in Sapporo station safe and sound. Overall, this trip is a must thing to do in Hokkaido on winter.

Meet up location was easily located with guidelines from the tour guide, Shake Shake. The seven star tree in winter is amazingly beautiful though we were freezing cold with strong winds. Like the birch forest with the amazing white forest views and the cosy gallery nearby. Popular spot of Christmas tree shows the tree is brave in this harsh winter. Aoike illumination with shades of blue to purple since the lake was frozen. Enjoy the warm arrangement from the tour guide and tour driver, thank you.

行程有車接送輕鬆不少。導遊Kelvin很細心，推薦的餐廳跟當地名產都很好吃，過程中在景點也都會主動幫大家團體或是單獨的旅客拍照，很用心。全程都在照料大家的安全，尤其冬天出行是會讓人比較緊張。白鬚瀑布意外的在冬天很美！青池是本來最期待的，不過可能跟我想像中不太一樣，加上冬天積雪，點燈的確有另一番氣氛，不過會更加期待夏天來看是什麼樣子！
