Otaru Canal චාරිකා

My wife and I booked this as we really wanted to see the Hill of the Buddha and Otaru but we're worried we wouldn't fit it all in if we did it ourselves. This tour fit the requirements perfectly, gave us plenty of time in each location and the transfers were spot on. Sei, our guide was excellent throughout, giving us useful information about the tour and each of the places we visited. he gave us plenty of recommendations for snacks and where to eat for lunch too. In summary, a really enjoyable side quest from Sapporo.

Guide Jay conducted the tour in three languages. Extremely knowledgeable, he told us about scenic spots, local delicacies and souvenirs. All attractions were well worth visiting, and the scenery at Otaru Port was also beautiful.

The itinerary was well-planned, not too rushed and not too slow. My favorite part was the first stop, the Hill of the Buddha. Our guide, Hikaru, was very nice and impressively fluent in Japanese, Chinese, and English 👍. If you enjoy architecture, nature, and history, I highly recommend this route.

The schedule for this trip was very well organized, with appropriate time allocated for each attraction. The tour guide, Xiao Liao, provided prompt reminders and warm, professional service, communicating very well in Chinese, English, and Japanese. By the way, participants can choose between the Yoichi Distillery and the fruit-picking orchard based on their preferences, and the driver will pick everyone up individually.

Thank you so much for the wonderful tour today! We were blessed with clear skies and saw so many beautiful sights, which was truly moving. The Blue Grotto tour, in particular, was a lot of fun! All the places we wanted to visit were included, and the schedule went smoothly, making for a very fulfilling sightseeing experience. Kevin's friendly and attentive service created a great atmosphere, and we even enjoyed the travel time. Thanks to Hong's fluent Japanese, we felt completely at ease throughout the tour. Even though it was an English and Chinese tour, they were very attentive to us, and we truly appreciate it. If we have another opportunity, we would love to use your services again!

We had a fantastic trip visiting Shakotan Blue, the Otaru Canal, and Shiroi Koibito Park. Our tour guide, Hong, was exceptional—his communication regarding meeting points and tour expectations was always clear and well-organized. I was particularly impressed by his ability to fluently speak Korean, English, and Chinese, effortlessly catering to the diverse nationalities in our group. Highly recommended!

Mainly booked this tour because I wanted to visit Cape Kamui, which is not easy to reach by public transport. Seeing the famous Shakotan Blue on a clear day was absolutely worth the price and the long journey. The added bonus was getting to see the Shakotan Coast, visit Otaru, and stop at Shiroi Koibito Park all in the same day. As expected, the schedule was quite tight, but this is understandable given the long distances we had to cover and the number of places included in the itinerary. Our guide, Cici, was pleasant and helpful. However, I felt the tour could have been more informative. She provided translations in Japanese and Chinese and read the English descriptions from her notes, but there wasn't much additional interesting information or storytelling about the places we visited. A little more background, local history, or interesting facts would have made the experience more engaging.
