Biei

We set off on a snowy day in Sapporo! The two-day itinerary went smoothly, and a special thank you to our tour guide, Sunny, for making this trip so unforgettable; and thank you to our hardworking driver who drove us safely and steadily to every destination in the snow-covered landscape. On the first day, we visited Asahikawa Zoo, where we saw penguins walking, polar bears, red pandas, and rabbits that became part of the snowy scenery. At Shikisai-no-Oka, we experienced snowmobiling, rubber boating, and snow tubing, and even fed the adorable alpacas—everything was so much fun! A bag of Biei potato chips I randomly bought at a shop—oh my god! They were so delicious! That evening, we stayed at the Sounkyo Daiun Ryokan, enjoying a delicious buffet dinner and soaking in the hot springs, especially the outdoor bath—the sub-zero temperature experience was unforgettable. The next morning, we headed to the icebreaker cruise ship. Although there was no ice to break at sea, the lottery game on board brought laughter to everyone and created wonderful travel memories for the group members we met by chance. What a fantastic two-day trip! 👍

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.

This family trip to Hokkaido for a snowy countryside experience was a great alternative to our self-driving tour. Our guide, Ms. Lily, was incredibly friendly and humorous, providing clear explanations and even helping with photos. Our driver was excellent, driving safely for long stretches in the snow and always welcoming. The scenery was beautiful in the snow. The zoo tour was perfect for the whole family, although we were pressed for time and the tour bus was small and not very comfortable. Overall, though, it was a wonderful and unforgettable experience!
