Seeing snow for the first time was fantastic for me overall. Our guide, Oliver, was excellent; he was very kind, spoke three languages, and actively guided us throughout the trip. The itinerary was very well-planned, with ample time to explore, take photos, and enjoy the scenery at each stop. The hotel was comfortable, and the driver was a very skilled driver. Although the bus seats were a bit small, they were generally quite comfortable. I was lucky enough to see beautiful snowscapes. Although the heavy snowfall prevented me from seeing the Zao Snow Trees that day, and I only reached the first level of the cable car, it was still incredibly breathtaking. The foxes were also very cute.
Booking a package online is convenient. This time, the cruise to Nibixi Harbor was amazing, with stunning snow scenery. It's definitely worth a trip in winter. The chilly weather paired with a hot pot meal was truly a treat for the soul.
The ship is quite large, and the pier is easy to find. Boarding is on the 3rd floor. When traveling in Japan, be sure to arrive early to choose a better seat. If you want to rest on the ship, it is recommended to bring a sleeping bag. It takes 3.5 hours to reach Aomori Port! During peak season and before the New Year, it is easier than taking the JR line!
