Luckily, we had good weather (a blizzard the next day, and I heard the highways were closed > <). Although we didn't get to ride snowmobiles at Shikisai-no-Oka in Biei, the snow sledding was still a lot of fun, and it saved us some money ^ ^. It's a pity the time was too short; we wanted more! Visiting 3-4 attractions in one day inevitably involves a rush, but overall it's a convenient and hassle-free option, especially in winter. Our driver/guide, Mr. Ma, was very polite and drove smoothly; thank you for his service!
This day trip with my friend to Blue Pond, Shirahige Falls, and the Forest Elf Terrace was a great success. The itinerary was smooth, the guide was attentive and professional, and the time management was excellent, allowing us to take beautiful photos without feeling rushed. The winter snowscape was truly like a fairytale world; the blue surface of Blue Pond paired with the white snow was absolutely dreamy. The vehicle was comfortable, the meeting point was clear, and overall, it was excellent value for money. It's perfect for first-time visitors to Hokkaido, allowing you to easily visit several classic attractions. I highly recommend it! I would definitely go again next time and recommend it to my family and colleagues. Overall, I was extremely satisfied with the experience. It's definitely worth a return trip—it was truly fantastic!
It was a great experience, even though the itinerary was a bit rushed. Xiao Gu 7 (the car's name) took us straight to the best spots for photos. The driver was very steady, which made us feel quite safe throughout the trip.
This day trip was quite novel. It was my first time experiencing traveling to various attractions in a heavy snowstorm. I am grateful to our tour guide Xixi for her meticulous arrangements (she was very responsible) and our driver for his safe driving, which allowed my wife and I to complete this trip safely and enjoyably.
On the morning of January 26th, Sapporo was blanketed in heavy snow, making roads and transportation difficult. Our tour guide, Bingbing, tried her best to arrange everything, but the challenging road conditions proved too much for her. By the time we arrived at Asahikawa Zoo, the penguins had already finished their walk, leaving the guide even more disappointed than I was. I'm very grateful for Bingbing's efforts; although we didn't see them, it still left us with beautiful memories of the trip.
