It is a good hot spring near Susukino to relieve travel fatigue. The buffet is basically a simple breakfast buffet, and while the baths are small, there is an outdoor pool, which I think would have been beautiful if it had snowed. One beach towel and one regular towel are provided free of charge, and shampoo, conditioner, and body wash are available in the baths, so you can just bring yourself. Since you board the shuttle bus with people going to other areas, make sure to get off when you arrive at Jozankei. I was a bit flustered wondering if I was in the right place because only a few people, including myself, got off, but you just need to figure out how to get off and take the bus heading towards Sapporo from the opposite side on your own when returning. There is no one to guide you, so you have to figure out how to get on and off on your own.
Driver was very kind, I was suprised it was a lady driver. Telling us hours of stay acceptable in each destination. Though I realized that 10 hours was not enough to cover all destinations. We made it just in time.
Despite the bad weather, we were still able to appreciate the beauty of Hokkaido on this trip. The free foot bath at Jozankei warmed us on a chilly day; the clear waters of Lake Toya brought us a sense of tranquility; and while drinking sweet spring water at Meisui Park, we were surprised to be caught in a hailstorm. Our guide, Mr. Hu, provided excellent service; thank you for your assistance on this trip.
First of all, the meeting points were very convenient, one of which was right at the Sapporo TV Tower. Staff came out early with flags for the group to recognize, and kindly and professionally reminded everyone to use the nearby clean restrooms beforehand, in case there were long queues or the restrooms at other attractions weren't as clean. Our guide this time was Vivi, who professionally explained the features and precautions of each attraction in Chinese, English, and Japanese, ensuring we had a wonderful time. I hope to have the opportunity to book another day trip to Hokkaido next time and meet Vivi again. Thank you again, Vivi!
This time, we booked a pick-up and drop-off service from Furano to New Chitose Airport. The driver was very punctual and polite, and professionally helped with our large luggage. The car was clean and spacious, and the ride was smooth, allowing us to arrive at the airport easily on the last morning of our trip without any worries about missing our flight. My friends and I were very satisfied and will definitely book again next time we're in Hokkaido!
Yoshi was surprisingly good at speaking english. we did not have a hard time communicating with him. he brought us to all beautiful places within Toya. highly recommended!
