Sapporo Departure: Lake Toya at Otaru Canal Day Bus Tour

Ngayon ang aking penultimate na araw sa Hokkaido. Sumama ako sa Klook's Lake Toya at Otaru day tour. Ang propesyonalismo ng aming tour guide na si Shishi (西西) ay lalong nagpaganda ng aking karanasan. Sinikap ni Shishi na tandaan ang mga mukha ng lahat, at sa bawat destinasyon, masigasig siyang nagpapaliwanag nang detalyado sa Chinese at English. Mabilis din siyang nakikisalamuha sa mga bisita. Sa biyahe sa pagitan ng mga lugar, binibigyan niya kami ng mga tip at impormasyon tungkol sa Hokkaido, kaya hindi na namin kailangang mag-research. Sundin lang si Shishi at siguradong magiging maganda ang araw ninyo. Dahil sa karanasan kong ito, muli akong bibili ng day tour sa Klook, at umaasa akong makasama ulit sa grupo ni Shishi. Si Shishi ay napaka-maalalahanin at responsable, sumusunod sa lahat ng patakaran ng kumpanya. Kahit nang gusto naming humiwalay sa grupo sa Otaru para bumalik sa Sapporo, pinayuhan niya kami tungkol sa mga oras at iskedyul ng JR, na napakainit sa pakiramdam. Pinayagan niya lang kaming umalis sa Otaru matapos sundin ang mga patakaran ng kumpanya. Ang karanasan ko ngayon ay talagang napakaganda. Inaasahan kong makabili muli ng day tour sa Klook sa susunod.

This tour was a great way to see some of Hokkaido’s most iconic spots in just one day. The itinerary was well-planned and stress-free, especially for travelers who want to maximize their time without worrying about transportation. Noboribetsu Hell Valley was stunning with its dramatic volcanic scenery and steaming vents — definitely a highlight. Lake Toya was peaceful and offered beautiful views of the surrounding mountains, perfect for photos and a short walk. Otaru was charming, with its historic canal, quaint shops, and food options that gave us time to explore and enjoy the atmosphere. The guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and clear in explaining each destination, and the transportation was comfortable throughout the trip. While time at each stop was limited, it was enough to enjoy the main attractions and get a good feel of each place. Overall, this tour is highly recommended for first-time visitors to Hokkaido or anyone looking for a convenient, well-organized day trip.

Ito ay isang madali at nakakarelaks na biyahe, walang madaliin dahil bibigyan ka ng isang oras para maglibot, napakatagal ng oras ng paglalakbay. Si Jay ay napaka-chill at may kaalaman na guide, ang driver ay talagang mahusay sa pagmamaneho.

A bit hard to find the meeting place. Very nice experiencing snow in Otaru. Not enough time to go to bear ranch. Guide allot 1 hour for lunch and bear ranch, so we didnt bother going in. Not enough time to explore.

nice & polite tour guide sophia. due to only small group of ppl joined (8 ppl only), assigned a small coach but clean & quite cozy. provided a map & advice on most efficient way to explore these attractions so in general adequate time to visit. interesting bear feeding experience. easy & comfy access to all these beautiful remote spots in a one go. recommend

旅程好開心 導遊介紹得好好 雖然今日佢啲雪唔夠多 但風景真係好靚呀 巴士又好坐 所以下次都會繼續join 😆

sangat menyenangkan, tour guide dg Sisi sangat puas, menjelaskan berbagai latar belakang tempat yang akan di kunjungi, rekomendasi Dan sangat membantu. agak sulit untuk makan selama tour, jadi lebih baik siapkan makanan untuk seharian itu. saya pergi bersama anak Dan bayi, serta lansia, cukup membantu memakai tour seperti ini.

導遊兼司機有禮又準時，主要的景點都有去到，並且有用普通話介紹景點，只是遊覽的時間比預期緊湊，下午約5時已回到札幌。

Good option if you want to cover multiple places in a day. Tour guide cam speak a few languages, English, Chinese, Cantonese and of course Japanese. He is very friendly. Also provide recommendations on local restaurants nearby Sapporo city. Thank you.

nice tour but it was snowing hard. i love hokkaido and the powdery snow next time i hope there will not be too much snow.
