Reviews: Sapporo Classic 1-Day Tour: Jozankei Onsen + Hill of the Buddha + Shrine + Shiroi Koibito Park

Reviews: Sapporo 1-day tour | Hill of the Buddha · Jozankei Onsen · Seafood Market · Mount Moiwa, Hokkaido
Guest User2025-11-23
First Stop: Jozankei Onsen ♨
As Hokkaido's most famous hot spring resort, Jozankei is not far from Sapporo and is known as "Sapporo's backyard." It has a deep connection with the "Kappa" legend, with adorable Kappa elements everywhere, even on manhole covers! Unfortunately, we only had an hour this time, just enough for a quick photo op and a free foot bath! Although comfortable, I recommend staying overnight if you have the time to truly relax in the hot springs.
Second Stop: Great Buddha Head
Tadao Ando's design is absolutely brilliant! The originally solitary Great Buddha was completely "hidden" by a circular hill covered in lavender, with only the Buddha's head visible. The visit is like a ritual: first, you walk across the water, then enter a dark, winding tunnel, and finally, suddenly, you look up to see the Great Buddha solemnly appearing under the sky—the awe is something you have to experience to understand. It's very photogenic and has a Zen-like atmosphere.
Third Stop: Hokkaido Shrine
This shrine was built during the pioneering period and has a long history. However, if you've already visited many shrines in Japan, this one might not offer many surprises. The grounds aren't very large, and buying amulets is up to you. However, the Rokkatei outside the shrine is worth a try; it's a comfortable place to relax and enjoy some sweets.
Fourth Stop: Shiroi Koibito (White Lover) Factory
While called a factory, it's more like a fairytale-themed park. You can watch the cookie production line, try DIY, and take great photos. It's also suitable for families with children. However, frankly, if you're not particularly interested in dessert making, you might find it a bit commercialized. Also, you can buy Shiroi Koibito cookies at the airport, so you don't necessarily need to buy them here.
Fifth Stop: Sapporo Beer Museum
If you like beer, this is definitely worth a visit! The red brick building has a lot of character, and you can learn about beer history. Most importantly—you can drink Sapporo draft beer! We tried two glasses; the taste was fresh and smooth, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant. It's a great place to end the day with a light buzz.
Overall, this day trip itinerary is perfect for tourists like myself who are visiting Hokkaido for the first time and are unfamiliar with everything. Each of the attractions is representative, and visiting them all in one trip provides a vivid first impression of Hokkaido's culture and history.
Traveling with a car also saves you the trouble of figuring out transportation yourself, making it convenient and hassle-free. As for whether each attraction is "fun," that's truly a matter of personal opinion—isn't that what travel is all about? Visiting places others are used to, taking photos in unfamiliar surroundings, and wandering around freely is itself an interesting experience.★

Reviews: Hokkaido Japan One-Day Tour from Sapporo: Shiroi Koibito Park, Otaru & Bibai Snow Land [Guaranteed Departure for One Person]
Guest User2026-01-29
A solo trip to Hokkaido can be absolutely amazing! This "Sapporo Shiroi Koibito + Otaru + Mipai Snow Park" tour, booked just for one person, was heavenly!
✅ Shiroi Koibito Park: The chocolate factory is like a fairytale castle. Stroll through the exhibits while enjoying the sweet aroma of cocoa, and you can even DIY your own chocolate 🍫. Perfect for making souvenirs – so impressive!
✅ Otaru Canal: The canal is covered in snow in winter, complete with retro gas lamps – so romantic you'd want to film a K-drama! ❄️ The glass shops and music box shops along the street are fantastic; even the little trinkets you pick up are incredibly exquisite.
✅ Mipai Snow Park: Kids from the south went wild! Sleds, ice slides, snowmobiles… so many activities you wouldn't want to leave. Who can understand the joy of rolling around in the snow!
💡 The amazing little details that enhance the experience
▫️Group tours are perfect for those with social anxiety; no need to wait for shared rides, and the schedule is flexible and not rushed.
▫️The itinerary is relaxed yet fulfilling, with ample time for photos and enjoyment at each attraction.
For those of you wondering what to do in Hokkaido during winter, this is the perfect itinerary! You can feel completely at ease even when traveling alone.★

Reviews: 9–13 People Group|Romantic 1-day tour in Otaru: Aquarium + Tenguyama + Otaru Music Box Museum
Guest User2026-01-28
We booked a day trip to Otaru on January 26th. There were only three of us. The highway was closed, so our driver forced his way through, driving for four hours to reach the aquarium. The penguins there were so much more lively than those in Asahikawa! The main street was deserted, the canal was empty, and there was no queue at Tenguyama. The majority of our group was stopped by the JR train… We were supposed to stay in Otaru, but worried about not being able to get back, we asked the driver to take us back to Sapporo. We arrived in two hours, much to our delight.
