Visit Meishui Park and see the majestic Little Mount Fuji. Visiting Lake Toya and Noboribetsu Hell Valley, the itinerary is smooth. Thank you, Team Guide Tracy, for your detailed introduction and explanation.

The itinerary was well planned. The tour guide Xiaowei arranged the stay time at the scenic spots very accurately, and the local history explanation was very detailed. I wish you good luck in your studies and may we meet again if we have the chance.

The tour guide, Ms. Xiaoliang, is very kind and professional in explaining Hokkaido culture and food. They are also eager to help us answer our questions. I am very happy to have the fate to join this group. There are delicious ice creams, yogurt products, comfortable bathing, and watching fireworks. The journey is very satisfying.

Trip was nice but due to delays, could not get onto the Mt. Usu ropeway. Our guide Habi is great and quick to answer our questions, making sure everyone is happy. Really liked the soft serve ice cream (only on weekends) at Lake Hill. Great scenery at all places overall.

I was the only foreigner in the group, but the tour guide and other group members took good care of me. The headphones had explanations in various languages. Lunch was eaten at a very beautiful hot spring hotel. It is not very convenient to go to Lake Toya from Sapporo, but this one-day tour is still worry-free.

It’s a great itinerary. After the rain, the atmosphere of Meishui Park is great. Behind the ice cream ranch, you can overlook the scenery of Mount Yotei. The tour guide Wei really introduced the characteristics of each scenic spot.
