Shakotan

We are so grateful to have encountered the beauty of the blue azure sea. And the cherry blossoms at Hokudo Shrine, and the sashimi rice bowl in Otaru. This trip was amazing! Of course, many thanks to our tour guide and the driver for their safe driving.

It was a very enjoyable trip. Our guide, Rick, was incredibly nice, enthusiastic, and attentive. He fluently explained things to the passengers in three languages—Chinese, Japanese, and English—and his explanations were quite entertaining. He even helped us take group photos and told us the best spots. The entire itinerary was well-planned, with a tight schedule that didn't waste any time, allowing us to visit all the classic attractions. The departure time was also very convenient—9 am—so we didn't have to get up early, and we could have breakfast right after returning to Sapporo. Everything went smoothly. The driver was very steady, with no sudden braking, and the ride was very comfortable. Throughout the trip, Rick frequently reminded everyone to fasten their seatbelts and be careful. When we were a few minutes late for the meeting, Rick didn't rush us like some other guides; he was very easygoing and waited for us nearby to board the bus. He's a very considerate young man. Rick took care of every passenger in the group and answered everyone's questions readily. I highly recommend this trip!

After giving the driver the itinerary details, the trip can be arranged flexibly. Combining independent travel with a chartered car service is really great. I recommend choosing this company.

Cape Kamui was tiring but very beautiful! The blue of the blue sea is really gorgeous! But the weather was not cooperating; it drizzled all day, and then it rained heavily in Otaru in the afternoon, so we didn't get to do much. Oh well.

The itinerary was the same as the promotional materials, and the time spent at each attraction was as expected, which was sufficient. However, the tour guide on the day seemed a bit different from the experienced tour guides I had encountered before. Fortunately, the group members were very self-disciplined, which allowed the itinerary to be completed smoothly. Overall, the itinerary was rich and the price was reasonable.

Lin was so professional and provided excellent service. He kept reminding everyone to drink plenty of water, use sunscreen, and take other precautions. Because of him, I immediately bought a two-day group tour. Unfortunately, I didn't get to meet him again. I hope to meet Lin again next time I come to Hokkaido on a group tour. He speaks three languages, is young and humorous—awesome!

The tour guide was very responsible, providing clear explanations throughout the journey. She even prepared in advance, checking drop-off points and ensuring no luggage was forgotten. Her meticulous preparation was truly admirable. The seafood donburi was indeed top-notch, exceptionally good—the best seafood donburi I've ever had. The scenery here... the path used to be easier, but now with more tourists, it's become less pleasant. This tour was fully booked.
