We arrived at New Chitose Airport on 11 December 2025 and were greeted by Mari Taniguchi, who arranged a well-planned 9-day itinerary customised to our needs. We were then introduced to our guide-cum-driver, Mr Hoso-san, who drove us safely and professionally throughout the journey, following the itinerary smoothly. We were very satisfied with all the hotels provided, especially Chalet Ivy, which we enjoyed for its comfort and private onsen.
