The cable car runs every 12 minutes, so you don't have to wait too long. The view from the mountain is very beautiful, and I saw people taking wedding photos👰‍♀️

I bought it just before I used it, and it was very smooth. However, I bought 4 tickets this time, and I had to show the QR code to the receptionist at the venue one by one, so I thought it would be better if I could select the number of tickets for the number of people at once.

Buying round-trip cable car tickets from Klook first can save you time waiting in line. The scenery of Tengu Mountain is really beautiful and worth it, but it is recommended to prepare crampons in winter because the snow is really slippery.

The Hokkaido skiing trip is worth it, the pick-up and drop-off are convenient, and I happened to live nearby. It is a recommended trip and it is super convenient to purchase. I highly recommend it!

It's fun. There are coaches, equipment, and a car to pick you up. You can play from the car to the car, but learning how to ski depends on your own talent.

The teaching is easy to understand, and you can get immediate corrections and answers to difficult skiing problems. If you are brave enough to fall, you can get on the cable car and get started on it the first time. The coach is very nice, the service is great, and I recommend it.

The usual style of Hoshino, I have stayed in several hotels in Otaru. This one has the highest rating. The room is large and the location is very convenient. There is a parking lot nearby. The whole atmosphere is very good.
