1. The driver was attentive and tried his best to help the group members truly understand Oirase. 2. The driver's driving skills were also excellent, and the ride was very comfortable. 3. If you know a little Japanese, the driver will also try his best to introduce the sights to you. 4. Waiting time at Hakkoda-no-Bo is considerable.
Driver Kitazawa and Mr. Sato drove very carefully, and there was no excessive shaking or discomfort on the mountain roads. They provided detailed explanations of each attraction. Highly recommended!
Due to strong winds, the day's activities on the mountain were cancelled, so an alternative itinerary was arranged: the Hakkoda Heavy Snow Snowshoe Tour. The staff were fluent in English and attentive to details, such as quickly understanding what clothing was needed and observing each group member's pace throughout the tour. The first half of the tour was relatively smooth, with no heavy snow, allowing for easy movement. We took photos at the trail markers and visited several snow monster spots. However, the weather began to deteriorate around the last baby snow monster spot, reducing visibility and requiring extra caution on the return journey. Nevertheless, we completed the entire tour; those who started later had to finish earlier and return at the same time as us. Back at the meeting point, there were hot chocolates and cookies, which was very satisfying 😌
