Hokkaido

Our tour guide, Zhang Jie, was professional, responsible, and polite. The driver drove safely, and the meals were plentiful. We highly recommend the tour; it's a pity we went too early and didn't see any drift ice.

The restaurant specializes in fresh crabs, and you can take as much meat as you want. Drinks are limited, making it excellent value for money. It's a great place for group meals during your trip, and I'll definitely visit again if I come to Hokkaido.

This one-day ski trip to Hokkaido was a high-value, well-managed package. The instructors were highly professional, with a great pace, allowing even beginners to quickly get up to speed. The experience was reassuring and emotionally enriching. The equipment far exceeded expectations; it was incredibly warm, preventing any discomfort even during extended skiing sessions, making it perfect for those sensitive to the cold. Lunch was delicious and provided excellent energy replenishment, effectively supporting the afternoon's workout. It's worth noting that water is not allowed at the ski resort, and while you might get thirsty, there are vending machines available for immediate hydration. The biggest takeaway from the actual skiing experience was that falling really hurts, the snow isn't as soft as you might imagine, and the physical and core exertion was higher than anticipated. It's advisable to prepare mentally beforehand. In summary, this is a great option for first-time skiers who don't want to handle too many details themselves. The process is smooth, the package is complete, and you can simply focus on skiing and, well, falling (?), create lasting memories. If you're looking for a day trip that's "safe for beginners but still offers a genuine experience of skiing intensity," this tour should be on your priority list.

It saved me a lot of time to get entry into the zoo without having to queue in the icy weather. Price was reasonable and costs the same wherever you buy them. Be careful stepping onto icy ground I saw a lot of people slipping and falling. Animals were the standard in any good zoos but the winter snow gives it a whole new experience. Still I can’t help but to feel that some of the animals are depressed and having some issues being cooped up in a small enclosure.
