Jeremy did his best in guiding our group composed of different nationalities. He knew the places well and his timing of each place was just right. I enjoyed this trip so much, no hassles, just pure fun at each place visited.

Really had fun on this tour! We joined the day before leaving Sapporo, and it was the perfect winter send-off. The peaceful atmosphere at the Hill of the Buddha and the Moai statues, the picturesque views in Jozankei and Otaru, and the sweet finale at Shiroi Koibito made the whole day feel beautifully well-rounded. Our tour guide, Hikaru, made it even more enjoyable—he was pleasant, always smiling, and genuinely cheerful despite the challenging weather. There was a slight delay in the morning pickup due to heavy snow, road conditions, and traffic, and he even gave each group little goodies as a “late gift,” even though it wasn’t his fault at all. If you get Hikaru on your tour, you’re in great hands!

Our guide was Lee, and he was very nice and helpful. He always reminded us a few minutes before it was time to get back on the bus, which was great so no one got left behind. The first stop was the Great Buddha and Moai Statue Park. This was my favorite stop. There were so many Moai statues, and they were really interesting to see. We arrived around 9:30 AM, so we had plenty of time to take photos before the Great Buddha opened at 10 AM. Next was Jozankei. You can soak your feet for free here, so don’t forget to bring a towel. After that, there’s about a 10-minute walk to the red bridge, where you can take photos. The scenery was beautiful—the river was frozen and felt very magical. Then we went to Otaru, where we had lunch. Lee recommended a restaurant, and we tried snow crabs, which were really good. After eating, we walked to the Otaru Canal. It was okay, but nothing too special for me. The last stop was Shiroi Koibito Park. It was fine, mainly a place to buy souvenirs.

The place is amazing during winter, the snow is like powdered milk😅. There’s a cafe near the Hill of Buddha and a cafe outside near the parking area. The place is actually Huge. Snap your perfect spot. We also saw a deer! awsome! BUT the guide and driver is so rude, keep repeating the instance of eating peanut/poprice of other passenger, He should have handled it nicely. Although we were not the one who made the mistake, I feel sorry for the other passengers because he’s too rude when delivering the message. I actually suprised since this is not a common to Japanese. maybe one in a million

I had a wonderful experience with our guide, Ms Kiki, despite the inclement weather and heavy snow in Sapporo. Due to road conditions, the last segment of the tour to Shiroi Koibito Park had to be cancelled, but Ms Kiki handled the situation professionally and thoughtfully by arranging more time for us to explore Otaru, which we truly appreciated. Throughout the trip, she was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, constantly sharing great recommendations for local food and shopping that enhanced our experience. Even with challenging weather conditions, she ensured the tour remained enjoyable and well-managed. Thank you, Ms Kiki, for your dedication and excellent service — it made our day trip memorable despite the snow!

කිසිදු කරදරයකින් තොරව සංචාරක ආකර්ෂණ ස්ථාන නැරඹීමට මෙය කදිම ක්‍රමයකි. හොඳ ඉංග්‍රීසි කතා කරන සංචාරක මාර්ගෝපදේශකයෙකු සමඟින් ඉතා තොරතුරු සහිතයි. සංචාරක බස් රථය නියමිත වේලාවට පැමිණ පිටත් වේ.

Two thumbs up for the tour. i just hope there’s more time in Shiroi Koibito Park. We enjoyed a lot. Highly recommended especially our time in Otaru, delicious Snow Crab!!! Thanks to our guide Jeremy for the videos…

I was overall happy with this tour, especially the itinerary. Im glad to say that what you see in the photos is truly what you get in real life. Otaru was magical, especially with the snowfall. Jozankei Onsen was also beautiful - the snowy surroundings made it an excellent spot for photos. Other stops such as Hill of the Buddha and Shiroi Koibito Park were also impressive. The main downside of the trip was the limited time at Shiroi Koibito Park. We only had about 40 minutes there, which was not enough. We wanted to go inside the factory to see how the chocolates are made and also spend time shopping for souvenirs, but we couldn’t do both due to the short stop. As for the guide, Hanson, it was nice that he speaks English. He was approachable, friendly, and gave clear instructions, especially regarding meeting times. Suggestions for improvement: • The guide could speak louder. • The historical background of the tourist spots was lacking. • Lunch instructions were unclear.

පුදුමාකාර අත්දැකීමක්. සංචාරක මාර්ගෝපදේශිකා ලුසී සහ රියදුරු ඉතා උපකාරී විය. මෙම සංචාරය ඉතා නිර්දේශිතයි! ස්තූතියි.
