It was a happy trip for the whole family. The 8-year-old child had a lot of fun and the whole family had a lot of memories. I highly recommend this trip.

It's a trip that feels solid only in the points. The lunch and dessert at Lake Toya with a view of the lake were the best, and I didn't expect much from the hot spring tour since it wasn't the main attraction, but I was able to enjoy it. The guide also gave only the key points concisely, so the content was quickly ingrained in my head. When you come to Hokkaido, many people take a tour to Bieiden North, so I recommend this one too.

It is very good and worthwhile to go to Japan to see the snow in this season. The meeting point is near the accommodation, which is very convenient. It is recommended to purchase an itinerary if there are fewer tourists.

This is the tour guide and driver. The car is very stable. The time is well managed. The person is friendly. The scenery is explained in detail. There is a lot of understanding.

it was really fun! our guide, oscar, was really informative and fun. he even translates everything from japanese, to english and chinese. the only con in this activity is you only get a few minutes per destination, suited for picture taking. you can’t really roam around that much. and the lunch buffet is not that good. but overall, would still recommend this activity!

The transportation is convenient. You can enter immediately by showing the QR code when entering. The tower is not too high and you can see the city clearly. It is worth a visit when you come to Sapporo.
