Lucruri de făcut în Hokkaido

Since agriculture is well-developed in Hokkaido, I wanted to visit a quiet rural area rather than a big city like Sapporo. We gathered in front of Exit 31 of Odori Station at 7:35 AM, departed for Sapporo Station around 7:50 AM, and returned to Odori Station at 6:00 PM after the tour. We were lucky to have two handsome young male guides who translated everything once in English and again in Korean, so we unintentionally got some English practice. We heard explanations about Patchwork Road while driving, without getting off the bus. Shikisai-no-Oka (Shikisai Hill) is a beautifully maintained, vast flower garden where photos turn out fantastically. You don't necessarily need to ride the sightseeing train connected to a tractor; you can enjoy the wonderful scenery by walking. The highlight was the white corn eaten raw and the yellow corn eaten steamed. Perhaps because the latitude is similar to Minnesota in the United States, the taste was similar to Minnesota corn, but honestly, Hokkaido corn had larger kernels and more moisture, making it crunchier and more delicious. Eating white corn raw was truly an amazing experience. And the potato croquettes were the best I've ever had. Aoiike, also known as the Blue Pond, was a fantasy in itself. The dreamily blue water color is surprisingly due to the sulfur content in the nearby hot spring water. You must take a commemorative photo with blue ice cream! Shirogane Falls, just a 5-minute walk away, also exceeded expectations. Listening to the sound of the waterfall captured in the video made me feel refreshed. We had lunch on the second floor of the Furano rest stop, and the beef bowl was delicious. It was great to be able to try sample products directly at the lavender product store on the first floor. The last place we visited was Farm Tomita. This farm also has a Shikisai flower garden, and it would be wonderful to visit in June or July when the lavender is in full bloom. Unfortunately, when I visited in August, the lavender had already been harvested. However, the cheesecake made with Hokkaido milk at the cafe there was incredibly soft with a rich cheese flavor – truly my favorite ever. You definitely won't regret it. Even my picky older sister raved about it.

După finalizarea comenzii, am descoperit că pe voucher scria că trebuie să imprim voucherul pe hârtie pentru a-l putea folosi. Cu toate acestea, la fața locului, puteți arăta telefonul mobil personalului de la casa de bilete, iar aceștia vor nota numărul de pe el și veți putea schimba biletele. Când schimbați biletele, trebuie să stați la coadă împreună cu persoanele care cumpără bilete. Deși era sezonul cireșilor înfloriți, am intrat cu doar două ore înainte de închidere, așa că erau vizibil mai puțini oameni și nu a trebuit să așteptăm. În timpul sezonului cireșilor înfloriți, merită cu adevărat să mergeți să vedeți, este foarte frumos.

Tom was an amazing tour guide! He was very fluent in English, Chinese, and Japanese, which made communication effortless. Although the places we visited were quite crowded because it was summer, the experience was still enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour!

we had a great time with all the tours because everybody cooperated with the timings.Thank you to our dear Tour Guide Lucy,she was so entertaining,caring and informative.Also to our great driver fro keeping us safe all throughout the travel.5⭐️

We had a great trip and it was a special day in March since it was snowing, we just wanted to have viewed each location more as 20minutes allocation per area is a bit tight, considering the snowy and slippery roads that we have to walk to and we have a senior family member. Dara was very understanding of the passengers even though we’re late to return. And I hope that there is a charging port at the bus since almost all our tours has an outlet in the bus except for this one.

Acesta a fost punctul culminant al călătoriei mele în Japonia. Ghidul nostru, Tetsu, a fost foarte amabil, prietenos și bine informat. Hotelurile la care am stat au fost uimitoare. Itinerariul este bine gândit, fiecare loc este uluitor.

Today's itinerary was incredibly fulfilling. We visited Kamui Cape and Otaru Canal, and even experienced a speedboat ride. The scenery along the way was truly unique. Although there were a few minor hiccups, leaving us with a slight sense of regret, it didn't detract from the overall enjoyment of the trip. Our tour guide, Zhu Shengwei, was exceptionally dedicated and responsible throughout the day, working tirelessly to coordinate and handle various situations, ensuring everyone had a great travel experience. The itinerary was well-planned, and his explanations were very thorough, allowing us to truly appreciate the local culture and scenery of Hokkaido. Even with a few minor regrets, we still made many wonderful and happy memories. We are very grateful for our guide's hard work all day; the experience was fantastic, and we genuinely recommend it!

Take the Ropeway gondola up Mount Tenguyama for a top view of Otaru city and the beautiful sea. You can exchange your QR code for a physical ticket at the counter and also receive a free postcard and a 10% discount at Tenguu Cafe. At the top, there's a Chipmunk Garden, Tengu Shrine, and other activities to enjoy.

Highly recommended. Perfect tour to include in your itinerary. The tour itinerary is perfectly timed and we had ample time to roam around the area. Our guide Jenny is one the best tour guide I have had from all the tours I joined in. She perfectly explained the places and there was never a dull moment.
