Otaru is a very famous town and the historical origin of the canal, but the highlight of this trip is Kamui Gorge. The sight glass is really great, especially when the weather is good, the photos are beautiful. I highly recommend everyone to come and play. It takes about an hour to go back and forth to Shenwei Gorge, but if you have seniors, it may take a little longer because of the up and down climbs and downhills along the hills, but overall it is very comfortable😌 and you have to take the time to take photos, really It's spectacular. After that, we will go to the Shimabuyi Coast. Because there have been bears recently, we can’t go down to the bottom, which is a bit disappointing. We can only have lunch here and take a few photos before leaving. The tour guide recommends the sea urchin rice here, which is relatively It’s much cheaper, so tourists can try it. Later we went to Otaru Canal Town. If you like shopping, you will love it. There are many small shops. However, we don’t like shopping very much, so the wait was a bit long. I suggest you go to the Music Box Museum at the meeting point to take pictures. The lighting is beautiful. , there are also many music boxes to listen to, and overall they are highly recommended.

Our guide Sophia is very attentive and friendly. Although most of the members of the group are Chinese speakers, she always explains things in English first before proceeding to explain in Chinese. Itinerary is extensive. We were able to cover a lot of sites in spite of the rain. Good tour option!

We went to Cape Kamui and Otaru on the 24th. The weather was very good and the scenery was beautiful. The car was spacious and comfortable. We passed Cape Golden Cape on the way. The Chinese tour guide Zhou Zheng and the Japanese driver Yoyu were not only handsome, but also very considerate in service. The introduction of Hokkaido was also very comprehensive. This one-day tour was worth it!

You can travel to many places in one day. Worth saving travel time. I like lake toya the most. Even though I may not stop for a long time, it's enough. The guide speaks good English. Clear and easy to understand The group we went with was only 6 people. Traveling by van was very convenient. I was impressed.

This trip was led by Zhou Dao, and I was very satisfied. Zhou Dao thoughtfully gave us extra time in Cape Kamui and Otaru, and explained the history of Hokkaido, its special food, special fruits, etc. on the bus. He also enthusiastically recommended local restaurants to us. It was a great trip. Recommend this tour to travelers coming to Hokkaido

We experience a snow fall and this is a lot more exciting because we explore the Hokkaido region extensively via booking this activity. So nice to remember!

The tour guide, Mr. Zhou Zheng, introduced the history of Hokkaido and the attractions of today's trip very carefully. He controlled the time very well and was very concerned about the situation of each passenger. The whole trip was great! Although the weather was not good, we did not see the legendary Shakotan Blue. But because I met a great tour guide, I still learned a lot about Hokkaido. I will consider participating next time.

The scenery of Noboribetsu Jigokudani and Lake Toya are both beautiful. The vast expanse of white land is pleasing to the eye. I really like Otaru, there are many boutique shops and restaurants. Unfortunately, there was a snowstorm that night, so we had to walk carefully and couldn't enjoy the scenery along the way. I recommend LeTao for cakes and buying souvenirs there. But time is really limited, so I promised myself that I would definitely stay in Otaru for a night or two next time I come to Hokkaido. Special praise to the tour guide Tong Jianwei. He took great care of everyone and contacted us the night before to give us reassurance. He is funny, speaks Cantonese very well, and is a conscientious tour guide.
