Oscar was incredibly friendly, provided detailed explanations of the attractions, and even shared his personal shopping list 🤣 He even acted as a photographer at the spots – it couldn't be more perfect! The driver was very friendly, greeting everyone as they got on and off the bus, and the driving was very smooth 👍 Unfortunately, the attractions are really far from Sapporo city center, making the journey quite long, but if budget is a factor, I would still highly recommend this option!
Being able to visit Asahiyama Zoo, Christmas Tree, Blue Pond, and Shirasu Falls in one day, avoiding the hassle of getting lost, and making it possible to travel back and forth between these places in one day is really efficient! There weren't many people at Asahiyama Zoo today, and I was so happy to see polar bears, penguins, and seals up close! Although there wasn't enough time to see all the animals, seeing these animals that are rarely seen up close in Taiwan made me very satisfied!
The staffs were so grateful. They helped us a lot because my mom used wheelchair. The view from viewpoint was so beautiful. We saw a lot of snowfall even it was in early November. The activities were great and so fun. Recommend this.
When I showed my kkday QR code at the ticket counter, they kindly guided me to priority boarding! (Everyone just got it on the spot and went up.) The weather in Sapporo in November is unpredictable, sometimes clear but sometimes rainy, and as expected, it rained for a while, but then stopped and we saw clear skies and a bright moon, which was nice. Even if it rains, if you wait inside for a while, you will be able to see clear skies again. I still recommend going on a cloudless day! I went because it was said to be one of the three best night views of Japan, and it was so nice.
I participated in the illumination tour this time. Our driver, Mr. Xiao, was very punctual in arranging the itinerary. In Biei, we had some delicious soup curry. The journey was beautiful; we visited Shirahige Falls and then the Blue Pond. The illumination was absolutely stunning. This trip was truly wonderful.
Driver was punctual in picking us up. She also helped us load and unload all of our luggages to the airport. We had so many luggage that's why opted to arrange a charter for convenience. On the way to the airport, we stopped by at Yuni garden and we were able to tour one last time before heading back. Very good travel option to sightsee while heading to the airport.
