Those seeking out the full diversity of Japanese cuisine will want to visit: a city with a ramen-inspired theme park is one that embraces and pampers foodies.

We were only the 2 of us (due to Covid limited trips) so we felt the experience as being really personal and intimate. Beautiful scenery around Lake Shikotsu enhanced by the explanations of the guide. Bikes were in a very well condition. Being an all day tour, we had plenty of time at each stop to enjoy all there was to see and do (we decided the "more adventurer" option, but the guide will adapt depending on your personal expectations). The guide has a good English understanding so the communication was easy. Overall, a really nice and memorable experience. Highly recommended.

We spent a most amazing 10 days in Hokkaido thanks to Hokkaido Treasure Island Travel. The attention to details and our preferences were much appreciated. Our travel consultant Eriko Kakudate san took the extra mile by personally meeting with us prior to the trip. Our preferences and interests as well as our budget and the length of our stay were taken into consideration to carefully plan a trip that was unique, fulfilling and enjoyable. We enjoyed the suggested destinations largely because they weren't the usual tourist traps. We had private lessons in glass blowing, soba making and Japanese sweets. We enjoyed our interaction with the locals and the exposure to the culture. We did not feel rushed at all in our itinerary and had time to spend in places where we wanted to stay longer. Eriko san was very thorough and communicated with us as needed specially when we had to reschedule our trip. We appreciate her work and dedication. We are thankful that she took the time to meet us upon arrival and again on two other occasions to ask how we were and even share a meal. She is an asset to HTIT. Our personal driver Shuji Takeuchi san was likewise excellent. He was very professional and recommended good places to eat in and experiences to try (like the onsen and eating local food). He made sure we were comfortable with the vehicle we used and offered even free use of his wifi and AC to charge our phones. He even volunteered to take our photos. We appreciate that he was mindful that one of us had physical limitations. He assisted us each time we checked in our hotels and helped us with room preferences. Our trip was made memorable largely because of HTIT. It was the best way to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Our thanks to HTIT, Eriko san, Shu san and all the wonderful people we met. We shall return.

The itinerary was as exactly what I had expected out of the tour - efficient conduct and punctual to the core. The multilingual audio tour was informative and provided quite a comprehensive background information prior to arrival at each tourist attraction. The day was especially glorious with blue sky, hardly any cloud in sight and with plenty of sun - couldn't have picked a better day myself to go on this tour. Don't expect any commentary in English by a tour guide or even a guided tour because there is none - that's what the headset provided at the start of the tour is for and this tour is pretty much free and easy, provided you adhere to the time specified by the tour guide. There was 1 thing on the itinerary which was clear - at Lake Shikotsu, entrance to the ice festival was out of pocket. That didn't bother me that much as the scenery on Lake Shikotsu did plenty to keep me occupied. I enjoyed myself so thoroughly this trip that I had forgotten to obtain the tourist stamp at each attraction - only remembering to get one during my last stop at Mt Usuzan. Oh well, it's better than nothing.

Sadly, I was there at a time where the lavender was not growing. They have a very nice shop with various goods made of lavender. There is also a very good "Mutton" restaurant, if you are into that type of meat.
