We participated as a couple. The guide in Taiwan was very cheerful and had a wonderful smile, and the driver was also great, making it a very enjoyable experience. We had plenty of time in Otaru, so we were able to stroll around at a leisurely pace.夫婦で参加しました。台湾のご案内される方がとても笑顔が素敵で明るい方で運転士さんも良い方でとても楽しかったです。小樽も時間を多めに取っていただいたのでゆっくり散策できました。

I only had one day, but there were many places I wanted to visit, so I joined this tour. I thoroughly enjoyed Lake Toya, the Silo Observation Deck, and Otaru, among others. The guide's explanations were easy to understand, and I was able to experience a variety of things in a short amount of time. If I have the opportunity again, I would definitely like to do this again.１日しかなかったが、行きたいところが沢山あり、このツアーに参加しました。 洞爺湖、サイロ展望台、小樽なと、満喫しました。ガイドの説明がわかりやすく、短時間で色々体験ができました。また機会があれば是非お願いしたいです。

I was a bit worried about how it would feel to participate in such a packed plan that would be hard to manage individually. The first stop was Hell Valley in Noboribetsu. The smell of sulfur and the smoke were incredibly impressive. There were stairs and slopes, but there were handrails, so it was safe to walk.
Next, we visited Showa Shinzan and the Bear Ranch. Participation at the Bear Ranch was optional, but everyone joined in. It was fun to see the large bears up close and even feed them!

After that, we stopped by Lake Toya and enjoyed the canal in Otaru, doing some shopping... The tour guide was really kind, letting us know about great photo spots in advance, taking pictures for us, and recommending souvenirs.
We were blessed with good weather on the day, and thanks to the tour guide (who was from abroad) managing everything and being considerate, we had a great time. We were the only Japanese people in the group, but it was actually nice not to have to worry about that (laughs). This plan with the second person free is quite a bargain! なかなか個人では回りきれない様な盛りだくさんプランで実際どんな感じなのだろうと内心、心配でした。 最初に行ったのが登別の地獄谷でした。 硫黄の匂いと煙が凄く迫力がありました。 階段や勾配がありましたが手摺りがあり、安全に歩けました。 次は昭和新山と熊牧場。熊牧場は希望者だけでしたが全員参加しました。大きな熊を間近で見れるのと餌やりが出来るので楽しめました！餌が欲しくて手を上げたり、芸？が出来るんだと驚きました！
Thank you very much for your kind words. We will continue to strive for excellence as a team.お褒めいただき、心より感謝申し上げます。これからも、スタッフ一同精進してまいります。

At Jigokudani, we took a leisurely stroll. My mother, who has difficulty walking, was with us, but we had plenty of time to explore, so we were able to walk quite far. We also had about an hour for a break at a spot where we could enjoy the view of Showa Shinzan, and although it was a bit rushed, we managed to use the Usuzan Ropeway. At Lake Toya, the view from the Silo Observatory was great, and we were able to take a lot of photos. We also got to meet the "master" of the Silo Observatory, Haru… At Jigokudani, we took a leisurely stroll.

In Otaru, we had plenty of time, so after shopping, we enjoyed some food, which kept us quite busy. This time, since there were only a few of us, our driver also acted as our guide, and in addition to explaining the tourist spots, we received a lot of information about delicious food, which made us very happy. We were grateful for our considerate driver. 地獄谷では、ゆっくり散策。 足の悪い母も一緒でしたが、散策時間は時間がたっぷりあったので かなり先まで歩けました。 また昭和新山の景色が楽しめる場所での休憩も、1時間ほどあったので 駆け足でしたが、有珠山ロープウェーも利用することができました。 洞爺湖では、サイロ展望台からの景色もよく、写真もたくさん撮れましたね。 またサイロ展望台の主(笑)、猫のはるちゃんにも会えました。 小樽も、時間がたっぷりあったので、買い物したら食べたり、なかなか忙しかったです。 今回は人数が少なかったので、ドライバー兼ガイドさんでしたが… 地獄谷では、ゆっくり散策。 足の悪い母も一緒でしたが、散策時間は時間がたっぷりあったので かなり先まで歩けました。 また昭和新山の景色が楽しめる場所での休憩も、1時間ほどあったので 駆け足でしたが、有珠山ロープウェーも利用することができました。 洞爺湖では、サイロ展望台からの景色もよく、写真もたくさん撮れましたね。 またサイロ展望台の主(笑)、猫のはるちゃんにも会えました。 小樽も、時間がたっぷりあったので、買い物したら食べたり、なかなか忙しかったです。 今回は人数が少なかったので、ドライバー兼ガイドさんでしたが、 要所要所で観光地の説明のほか、おいしい食べ物の情報もたくさん聞けたので、こちらも凄く嬉しかったです。 気遣いの細やかなドライバーさんでありがたかったです。
