The trip was wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed every day of it. Mari did a great job including sites we specifically wanted to see and adding others we found fascinating. It was an incredible trip around Hokkaido and we will never forget it! We have to especially thank Massa-San for excellent guiding. It was a pleasure to be with him every day. He took care of us as if we were family. Unuma-San was an excellent driver and we felt very safe with him behind the wheel! We enjoyed our snowshoeing adventure, which we were skeptical about and seeing a baby red-crowned crane was most memorable.
There wasn’t anything I would have changed about the trip. Even with most of the cherry  blossoms having bloomed prior to our arrival- we still got to experience their incredible beauty at stops along the way. We also enjoyed taking part in the Bridal parade- what a treat. There are other parts of Hokkaido to see, and we will be back- and have Mari-San making all our arrangements!
