Lake Akan mga tour

Si Joe ay isang mahusay at kahanga-hangang gabay. Napakabait at maalalahanin. Ang paglilibot ay puno ng mga kahanga-hangang hintuan. Sana ay mas matagal pa kaming nanatili sa bawat hintuan dahil napakaganda ng mga ito! 10/10 inirerekomenda ko ang paglilibot na ito para sa lahat ng dapat makitang lugar sa Hokkaido.

Hanna, the guide for me today, was very informative and attentive. Everything’s on time, credit to others in our group as well. Even it’s not the full red autumn, nothing disappointed me today. If you’re interested to join this tour, don’t hesitate, it’s really worth it!

Such a beautiful and well-planned tour! Every destination was worth visiting, and the itinerary gave us a really nice variety of scenery and experiences. We chose the option with the scallop set lunch, and it was delicious. For me, this tour was truly worth every penny and one of those tours I would happily recommend to anyone visiting Hokkaido. Catherine was also one of the best parts of the experience. She is very knowledgeable, clear with instructions, calm, gentle, and genuinely kind. She even took time to take photos of us at every destination, one by one, which I really appreciated. You can really feel how considerate she is toward everyone in the group. I also loved that she reminded us to thank our driver at the end of the tour, such a simple gesture, but it showed how thoughtful she is. Thank you, JC Group, for a wonderful tour, and a very special thank you to Catherine. Highly recommended!

Noong 2005 ang aming unang pagtapak sa Hokkaido, at sa pagkakataong ito ay sumali kami sa isang 1-araw na lokal na tour sa pamamagitan ng Klook. Nagpapasalamat kami na maganda ang panahon ngayon, maayos at madali ang mga itinakdang aktibidad, at balak naming sumali ulit sa Klook sa aming pagpunta sa Okinawa sa susunod na taon. Bukod dito, ang tour guide na si Jenny ay napakaingat sa mga detalye at magaling makipag-usap. May kabuuang 40 katao ang sumali ngayon, at hindi madaling pamahalaan ito nang maayos, ngunit nahawakan niya ito nang may husay at kalmado. Bukod pa rito, mataas ang kakayahan ni Jenny sa wika, malinaw siyang nakakapagpaliwanag sa Ingles at Mandarin (kanyang katutubong wika), at organisado ang kanyang pagpapahayag kaya madali naming naunawaan ang lahat. Kaming mag-asawa ay nagbibigay ng 5 puntos para sa tour at kay Jenny ngayon. Sa huli, salamat kay Jenny sa paggabay sa amin sa aming biyahe ngayon. 🤝

We had a wonderful day trip exploring Noboribetsu Hell Valley, Lake Toya, Mount Usu, and the Bear Ranch. A huge shoutout to our guide, Lucy, who was so informative and went out of her way to help us get some wonderful photos. The sights were a real highlight and made for a fantastic day out. The only minor drawback was the transport, as the bus felt a bit cramped for a long-distance journey. Making the seating a bit more spacious would make the ride much more comfortable, but overall it was a really memorable experience thanks to Lucy and the amazing itinerary!

Dahil limitado ang opsyon sa tour mula sa Kushiro, pinili namin ang pribadong car tour na ito. Pagkatapos mag-book, inimbitahan ako sa isang WhatsApp Group chat kasama ang ahensya upang kumpirmahing muli ang aking booking at kung nakapagpasya na kami sa ruta. Bilang unang beses sa Kushiro, humingi ako ng kanilang gabay ngunit hindi nakatulong ang kanilang tugon, kaya nagpasya kaming huwag nang patagalin ang usapan at sundin na lang ang default na ruta. Sa mismong araw, magalang ang driver, ngunit sa pabalik na biyahe, nagsimula siyang magmaneho na parang nagmamadali (nasa oras kami at nakabalik nang ilang minuto nang mas maaga). Maaari ring mapabuti ang kalinisan ng kotse sa pamamagitan ng pag-vacuum at pagtatapon ng maruming gusot na tissue. Bukod sa serbisyo, maganda ang tanawin.

Magandang biyahe, naging maayos ang lahat, huminto kami sa maraming tanawin at nakapaglakad-lakad din sa tabi ng Oirase stream, pati na rin sa itaas ng Hakkoda. Napakaalisto ng dray ड्राइवर. Kasama ako sa maliit na grupo ng 4 na tao. Huminto kami sandali sa iba pang mga tanawin at sa museum ng snow walk disaster sa pag-uwi. Ang steaming buns na "butt onsen" ay isang magandang sorpresa.

Today I joined the day tour led by Hikaru. The guide was very friendly and humorous 👍. The first stop was Jozankei Onsen; the leaves are starting to turn red and the scenery is beautiful. The second stop was Hoheikyo Dam, which was my favorite part of the itinerary. We were extremely lucky today with wonderful weather, and the photos turned out amazing! The third stop was Lake Toya Observatory, where we quickly picked up some souvenirs and overlooked the brilliant blue Lake Toya from above. The fourth stop was Showa-shinzan Bear Ranch. Due to time constraints and the attitude of "since we're already here," buying the ropeway ticket was an extra expense, but I highly recommend going up the mountain! We didn't have enough time to see the brown bears this time, saving that for next time ~ The last stop was Mt. Yotei Spring Water Park. Although we arrived at 3:40 PM and the sun was already setting, we managed to collect the 6.5°C spring water that our guide Hikaru kept recommending to take home 👍. Even though the time spent at each stop was limited, Hikaru introduced everything along the way in a humorous and relaxed bilingual (Chinese/English) manner, making the whole day's experience very pleasant! Highly recommend the guide Hikaru 👍 Thank you.

Our tour guide Oscar was very informative and spoke to all attendees in Mandarin, Japanese and English very well. I can't recommend this excursion enough and highly recommend booking for middle of October to see the beautiful fall colours while the weather remains clear and mild. Lots of great photos opportunities throughout the day as well!
