Beautiful blue sea

Posted Date: 2026/07/18

Azuki

The weather had a rain icon, so I was worried until the day of the trip, but somehow it didn't rain until we reached the Shakotan Peninsula, and it started raining after we arrived in Otaru. The sea in Shakotan was blue and very beautiful. The tour guide was very kind, and the explanations in three languages were thorough.天気が雨マークになっていて、当日まで心配でしたが積丹半島まではなんとか雨は降らず、小樽に着いてから雨でした。
積丹の海は青くとても綺麗でした。
ツアーガイドさんはとても親切で、3カ国語での説明も丁寧でした。

It wasn't a sunny day, but I was glad to see the beautiful Shakotan blue of the sea in the Shakotan Peninsula. The tour guide's explanations were also good.晴天ではなかったのですが、積丹半島の海の色は綺麗な積丹ブルーが見れて良かったです。添乗員さんの説明も良かったです。

It was cloudy in the morning, but it was sunny at the location. The color of the sea was beautiful as well. Since there is quite a bit of walking, I recommend wearing comfortable shoes like sneakers.

The Otaru Canal was also nice.

The guide was friendly and kind.朝は曇っていましたが、現地では晴れ
海の色もきれいでした。
歩く距離も有りますのでスニーカーなど
歩きやすい靴がおすすめ

小樽運河も良かったです

さーや

The weather was nice, and I was finally able to reach the tip of Cape Kamui, which I had longed to visit. Since I didn't have much time to spare, I thought about making a round trip, but it felt more like I was walking quickly rather than taking my time to enjoy the scenery along the way. Adjusting the time can be tricky, especially if the gate is closed, but I don't think it takes much time to visit Shitamukai Coast, so I wish I could have spent that extra time at Cape Kamui.

時間の余裕があまりないので、往復しようと思うと途中の景色をゆっくり見ながら歩くという感じではなく、結構急いで歩く感じです。
門が閉まっている場合などの時間の調整が難しいのでしょうが、島武意海岸はそんなに時間が必要ないと思うので、その分を神威岬に時間をとってもらったらいいのになと思いました。
それ以外は小樽の散策時間もたっぷりあり、満足です。

Cape Kamoi was amazing! ♡

When we set out, it had just stopped raining in Sapporo, but by the time we arrived at Cape Kamoi, the blue sky was wide open, and the contrast between the green and blue was simply beautiful.

The path to the tip had some slopes and was quite narrow, making it difficult to pass by others. I had to think about where to stop when encountering oncoming visitors. I believe wearing sneakers was the right choice for this trail. The next day, my glute muscles were sore.

In Otaru, we enjoyed a seafood bowl at a restaurant recommended by our guide, tried the LeTAO cheesecake, and were able to buy some cute souvenirs. We had a fulfilling day while listening to the guide's explanations in English. 出発するころ札幌は雨上がりでしたが、神威岬に着くと青空が広がっておりとにかく緑と青のコントラストが美しかったです。
　先端までは勾配もあり、すれ違うのも大変な細い道でした。対抗者が来ると立ちどまる所を考えて歩きました。
　スニーカーで歩くのが正解の道だと思います。翌日お尻の筋肉が痛くなりました。
　小樽ではガイドさんお勧めのお店で海鮮丼を食べ、ルタオのパイを食べたり可愛いお土産も買えました。
　ガイドさんの英語の説明も聞きながら1充実した1日を過ごせました。

Enjoying the Shakotan Blue

In between the continuous rainy days, we were able to enjoy beautiful clear weather and see the best views. Although the itinerary was packed, we had plenty of time at both Cape Kamui and Otaru. However, since lunch inevitably ran past the usual time, the coveted sea urchin was sold out. Our tour guide, Victoria, provided explanations in three languages. She used a board to communicate the schedule and meeting times, which was very thorough, and I believe the itinerary progressed very smoothly. … In between the continuous rainy days, we were able to enjoy beautiful clear weather and see the best views.

盛りだくさんの内容でしたが、きちんと神威岬でも、小樽でも時間に余裕がありました。
ただ、ランチがどうしてもお昼時を過ぎてしまうので念願のウニは売り切れてました。
添乗員のヴィクトリアさんは、3ヶ国語を駆使しての説明。ボードも使用して日程、集合時間の周知など行き届いていて、大変スムーズに日程が進んだと思います。
運転手さん含め、ありがとうございました。

Learn from last year's lessons.

LOVIN

I used the same tour last year and had a great experience, so I decided to use it again this year.

To reach the tip of Cape Kamui, if you take your time to take photos, you might end up rushing back and could be cutting it close with the bus schedule, or some people might not make it back in time, so be careful. This year, I learned from last year's experience and kept my photo-taking to a minimum on the way there, and jogged a bit to enjoy the beautiful Shakotan blue.

To reach the tip of Cape Kamui, if you take your time to take photos, you might end up rushing back and could be cutting it close with the bus schedule, or some people might not make it back in time, so be careful. This year, I learned from last year's experience and kept my photo-taking to a minimum on the way there, and jogged a bit to enjoy the beautiful Shakotan blue. There were fewer tourists this year compared to last time, so I was able to return comfortably.

Otaru offers plenty of free time, so you can enjoy it fully.

The guide was fluent in three languages and was very pleasant. I felt that the walking pace was a bit fast, so those who aren't used to walking or older individuals might fall behind a little.

I had a fun time participating again this year, and it turned out to be a fulfilling day. 去年も同じツアーを利用して良かったので今年もまた利用しました

The weather was nice and the Shakotan Blue was very beautiful. It was definitely the right decision to walk all the way to the tip of Cape Kamoi!

Since it was Saturday evening at the Shiroi Koibito Park, there were a lot of people, and I didn't have quite enough time. Still, I was able to hurry and buy some souvenirs and enjoy some soft serve ice cream. It was a very satisfying bus tour!天気が良くて積丹ブルーが
とてもきれいでした
神威岬先端まで
頑張って歩いて大正解！！

土曜日の夕方に
白い恋人パークだったので人も多く

それでも

ソフトクリームも食べる事が出来ました

Cape Kamui and Otaru

Posted Date: 2026/06/14

うさ子

I'm glad I was able to efficiently visit Cape Kamui and Otaru! Is the guide from China? Since they speak Japanese, English, and Chinese, you shouldn't expect the same level of detailed explanations as you would from a Japanese guide.神威岬、小樽と効率的に回れて良かったですー
ガイドさんは中国の人？日本語、英語、中国語と話されるので、日本人ガイドさんのようなきめ細かな説明を期待しない方がいいです。

Machine translated from Japanese

The tour guide's guidance was... 40 points.

Posted Date: 2026/06/10

トントン

Since there are many overseas customers, it's understandable that the tour guide isn't Japanese, but the content of the sightseeing information didn't seem professional at all. It felt more like the level of a part-time student. This isn't a language issue; I didn't sense any professionalism in the explanations about the tourist spots, their history, or highlights. I think it would be better to have a veteran driver give the explanations instead.海外のお客様が多いので、添乗員さんが日本人じゃないのはしかたないのですが、観光案内の内容がプロとは思えない。アルバイト学生みたいなレベル。日本語の問題ではなく、観光地の情報、歴史、見どころの説明内容にプロ意識を感じませんでした。たぶん、ベテラン運転手さんに説明させたほうがいいくらいだと思います。
