There were tourists from Europe, America, Hong Kong and Taiwan in my group. The tour guide Habi was friendly and guided the customs and customs of Hokkaido in various languages, and the itinerary was well managed.

The attractions are very beautiful. You can’t miss the top attractions in Hokkaido, Showa Shinzan, Lake Toya, Mount Yotei and Otaru in one trip. The itinerary is also very suitable for the elderly. It does not require much walking. The driver's driving skills are also first-rate and he knows the time very well. The tour guide Jay is fluent in English, Japanese, Mandarin and Cantonese. He explains the history of the scenic spots in detail and deepens his understanding of Japan. Ichiban!

Although the schedule is a bit busy, the scenic spots are quite far away by car. After all, these scenic spots are difficult to get to by free transportation, and the scenic spots are also very beautiful. The tour guide also generously shared his personal recommendations for restaurants and things to buy when visiting Hokkaido. It is highly recommended for tourists who speak Chinese. English tourists still need to think carefully. Compared with Chinese, there are fewer introductions in English.

The park is not very big, but it is well planned and the performances are lively and interesting. It is suitable for bringing children and then you can go to the next attraction, Hell Valley.
