I would like to visit Hokkaido this October to catch the autumn. Anyone has any good tour package to share?
 

Tour packages usually take away the charm. You have two months prep time, enough time to still take advantage of good prices for flights and inns.

I've never used any tour package to go Japan. Me and my wife usually go over the destinations we'd like to go, places to stay/see, trains to take etc. Traveling through Japan is a pleasant experience in itself.

Don't worry too much about getting lost etc, as that's part of the fun too. The locals, even in big cities, are very helpful. The huge advantage mandarin speakers have is Chinese characters. They understand the classical Chinese characters, so when sign language fails, drawing the Chinese character for inn/train/toilet/shop etc works like a charm!

That said, if you're traveling with family, parents, children etc, a tour package becomes far more attractive as your kids will probably keep you busy enough! Either way, have fun in Hokkaido!!! :thumbsup:

I went to Hokkaido last Nov on a package tour from Kang Thai. On the whole, the food & accomodation provided were better that what I had expected.

The guide (a Singaporean) was also good (a guy by the name of Victor). He studied and worked in Japan for some years before and has also been leading tour groups to Japan for many years, so he's very familiar with the country.

Overall, we had an enjoyable time.
