The original purpose was to take an icebreaker cruise to see the ice breaking, which was the highlight of the trip. Reviews said there would be ice from late January to February, but when we went close to the end of January, we didn't see any because the ice hadn't floated to Japan yet 😂. However! The other activities on the itinerary were great. The hotel was very clean, and the buffet was a pleasant surprise—more thoughtful and delicious than even the high-end hotels in Hong Kong. We also visited a very cold little rural spot with thick, beautiful snow! The scenery was like a painting—absolutely amazing!
Despite encountering some unexpected situations, including a traffic jam caused by a car accident ahead that prevented us from visiting the Elf Terrace, I still felt very happy to participate in this tour. I enjoyed listening to our guide, Mr. Wu, speak fluent Chinese and English; it's no easy job. The experienced driver's skills were also remarkable. Thank you to the driver and guide for making our trip enjoyable and ensuring we got home safely, especially considering it was a blizzard that day!
