Although the tour guide only speaks Japan, he will have an English or Chinese translation of important messages! So it’s not a big problem! Because the drive is too long, the zoo time is only two hours, so it's best to buy bento and get on the bus, because there are too many people queuing up to buy food at the zoo!

The itinerary was well arranged, and the tour guide was very considerate and took good care of everyone. The visit to Biei, Asahiyama Zoo, and Shirakushi Waterfall was really beautiful and it was a worthwhile trip! ! !

The Otaru experience tour was absolutely magical! From the charming canals to the beautifully preserved architecture, the entire tour felt like stepping into a fairytale. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, sharing fascinating stories and history about the town.
The highlight for me was exploring the quaint shops and tasting the local delicacies—especially the fresh seafood and desserts, which were divine! The glassblowing and music box workshops were also a unique touch, allowing us to take home memorable souvenirs.
Everything was well-organized, and the pace of the tour was just right. I highly recommend this to anyone visiting Hokkaido—Otaru is a gem not to be missed!

We got this discounted so that’s awesome. The tour was a nice experience but it’s all rushed. We didn’t get to enjoy the zoo as we had to walk straight to wait for the penguin walk and we need to be back on the bus after that. We also didn’t get to see the Ningle Terrace due to a highway closure which was pretty usual during winter season as our tour guide said. Anyways, we enjoyed it. Alex our tour guide was great, very nice english too so we learned new things about Hokkaido.

The guide was so friendly and nice. They said that you can't see Cheongi Lake and Seven Stars if there's too much snow. ㅠ I couldn't see Cheongi Lake and Seven Stars, but the rest of the trip was great, including the Christmas tree, Biei Station, Taksin Museum, and Ninguru Terrace~
