On our last day in Japan, we went to the zoo and realized that two hours wasn't enough! 😂 But Xiaoyu had told us to buy meal tickets beforehand, saving us from the incredibly long queues for food later, although the queues for food pickup were also incredibly long. I really enjoyed Xiaoyu's explanations of Hokkaido, the origins and history of the attractions, etc., on the bus. It was very lively and interesting, not like a history lesson that made me want to sleep. The sake at Blue Pond was delicious! Better than ice cream! 😂 The blue part of the ice cream was similar to Calpis, a bit sour, which I thought was quite good, but the white part didn't have much flavor. The snow-capped mountain view on the other side of Blue Pond was even more beautiful than the pond itself! 🤩 Shirahige Falls didn't freeze, the whole place was gorgeous!! The final Fairy Terrace was really worth taking photos at… Although it was 40 minutes, 10 minutes longer than the itinerary, it took 20 minutes to walk there and back, and there were so many people, so you really had to hurry and take photos before leaving. It was still very worthwhile, and luckily, the whole trip went smoothly without any major snowstorms! Nothing unexpected happened, and we even saw penguins strolling around and entered the Fairy Terrace – so lucky! Most importantly, Xiao Yu's guided tour was fantastic, making the trip anything but a boring, mechanical experience. 👍👍👏👏
A very good charter service experience. Customer service contact was very quick. It was my first time in Hokkaido, and even though it was snowing heavily, driver Kevin was able to pick me up on time and answer my questions.
The itinerary was well-organized. The attractions were beautiful! Our tour guide, Yang, was also very helpful and friendly. Overall, it was a very satisfying trip!
