It was rare to encounter a group entirely composed of Taiwanese people with a few from Hong Kong. Everyone was very punctual, and there were quite a few families with children, making it very lively. At Rokko Ski Resort, it takes about 45 minutes from renting clothes and putting on ski equipment to actually skiing, so the actual time to learn to ski is only about two hours. This is perfect for those who have never skied before and want to try it, as two hours is enough to exhaust a beginner's energy 😆. In the afternoon, we visited Nara Park and Todai-ji Temple, and then returned to Namba area for dinner. It was a rare experience of celebrating the Lunar New Year in Japan.
The timing was excellent, our tour guide, Kangfu, was friendly, polite, and responsible, providing detailed introductions to each attraction. It was a very enjoyable day trip, and I would definitely participate in your company's tours again next time I have the opportunity.
Hakodate Ski Resort wasn't crowded, which made it a safe place for beginners. Our guide, Poey, was dedicated to teaching skiing, and the group lessons were excellent. All equipment could be rented or purchased at reasonable prices. We were also deeply moved by the view of Lake Biwa on the way there and back. I highly recommend this activity.
The itinerary was sent via email the day before. We initially received the wrong itinerary, but after replying to the shop, they quickly sent the correct one. Mr. Qiao was both our driver and tour leader. He was incredibly friendly and assisted us with everything from buying tickets and renting equipment to translating and asking questions of shops, providing information about the environment, and reminding us of important details. He made sure everything was alright before leaving, showing great responsibility. He also drove very smoothly, making the trip very smooth and fun – highly recommended!
It's a good place for beginners, and the price isn't too expensive. There are lockers in the changing rooms, but you need to bring your own glasses, gloves, and hat. Remember to bring waterproof gloves!
