Reviews: Hokkaido Summer Classic 1-day Tour: Cape Kamui + Otaru + Shiroi Koibito Park + Blue Cave
Guest User2026-05-19
I really enjoyed the tour. It was well-timed, departing from all points on time and without any delays. Hong was attentive and friendly, sending all the important information via messenger, which was very convenient. I recommend this tour if you want to see Hokkaido from different sides in one day.

Reviews: 1-day tour to Lake Tōya observation deck, Noboribetsu Jigokudani Valley, Fukidashi park and lakeside farm in Hokkaido

Both snowmobiling and the bear ranch are worth experiencing. Before setting off, I thought they were similar, but in the end, I went to both. Snowmobiling is better with one per person (15,000 yen per snowmobile, cash only). At the bear ranch, it's 1,000 yen per person, and food is 200 yen per bag, also cash only. You can bring apples—I love their apples—it's really cool! The itinerary is a bit hardcore, so buy plenty of convenience store snacks to eat on the go.

Reviews: Sapporo 1-day tour | Hill of the Buddha · Jozankei Onsen · Seafood Market · Mount Moiwa, Hokkaido
Guest User2025-11-23
First Stop: Jozankei Onsen ♨ As Hokkaido's most famous hot spring resort, Jozankei is not far from Sapporo and is known as "Sapporo's backyard." It has a deep connection with the "Kappa" legend, with adorable Kappa elements everywhere, even on manhole covers! Unfortunately, we only had an hour this time, just enough for a quick photo op and a free foot bath! Although comfortable, I recommend staying overnight if you have the time to truly relax in the hot springs. Second Stop: Great Buddha Head Tadao Ando's design is absolutely brilliant! The originally solitary Great Buddha was completely "hidden" by a circular hill covered in lavender, with only the Buddha's head visible. The visit is like a ritual: first, you walk across the water, then enter a dark, winding tunnel, and finally, suddenly, you look up to see the Great Buddha solemnly appearing under the sky—the awe is something you have to experience to understand. It's very photogenic and has a Zen-like atmosphere. Third Stop: Hokkaido Shrine This shrine was built during the pioneering period and has a long history. However, if you've already visited many shrines in Japan, this one might not offer many surprises. The grounds aren't very large, and buying amulets is up to you. However, the Rokkatei outside the shrine is worth a try; it's a comfortable place to relax and enjoy some sweets. Fourth Stop: Shiroi Koibito (White Lover) Factory While called a factory, it's more like a fairytale-themed park. You can watch the cookie production line, try DIY, and take great photos. It's also suitable for families with children. However, frankly, if you're not particularly interested in dessert making, you might find it a bit commercialized. Also, you can buy Shiroi Koibito cookies at the airport, so you don't necessarily need to buy them here. Fifth Stop: Sapporo Beer Museum If you like beer, this is definitely worth a visit! The red brick building has a lot of character, and you can learn about beer history. Most importantly—you can drink Sapporo draft beer! We tried two glasses; the taste was fresh and smooth, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant. It's a great place to end the day with a light buzz. Overall, this day trip itinerary is perfect for tourists like myself who are visiting Hokkaido for the first time and are unfamiliar with everything. Each of the attractions is representative, and visiting them all in one trip provides a vivid first impression of Hokkaido's culture and history. Traveling with a car also saves you the trouble of figuring out transportation yourself, making it convenient and hassle-free. As for whether each attraction is "fun," that's truly a matter of personal opinion—isn't that what travel is all about? Visiting places others are used to, taking photos in unfamiliar surroundings, and wandering around freely is itself an interesting experience.

Reviews: Hokkaido, Japan: Lake Toya Observatory, Onsen Town, and Fireworks Festival Tour (Sapporo Round Trip)
Guest User2025-11-01
The tour was fantastic! Our tour leader, Chen Meifang, was incredibly professional. Throughout the trip, she explained a great deal about the background and stories behind Hokkaido's attractions, which reassured us as first-time visitors. Even towards the end of the itinerary, she meticulously explained the transportation options available for everyone's return journey. The entire itinerary was well-organized, and the fireworks display was spectacular. I highly recommend it!

The itinerary was well-organized, with just the right amount of time allocated to each attraction. We managed to visit all the attractions on the route. The bus was also very clean. Our guide, Lisa, was very enthusiastic and recommended many delicious restaurants.
