The zoo itinerary was very classic, but it was a pity that we arrived too late and there was no penguin walk. The tour guide Gilbert gave us a detailed tour, and the driver specially cleaned the car windows in advance so that we could see the Ken & Mery tree clearly. It was a great trip!

Overall, the experience was absolutely wonderful! The stunning winter landscapes and the beautiful scenery were breathtaking. Visiting places like Sapporo and the quaint towns in Hokkaido really showcased the charm of the region during winter. Thank you for such a memorable trip. We look forward to joining more tours in the future!
