    TripAdvisor get your act together. You managed to cancel this booking twice. The first time due to the zoo being shut for new years events , then told me it was about the weather! That being said I’m still waiting for my refund. Now you have requested a review on a “non event”! You need be aware of what your system is doing. If you are going to accept a booking , make sure the tour is actually going to occur! It is now very obvious that the tour was never going to proceed. Very disappointed as we changed or entire itinerary to accommodate this tour with our children. We acted on good faith , trusting TripAdvisor . Needless to say we will not use your services again.

    Do not, repeat do not book with this tour operator via Viator. Booked a tour with them, 18 hours before the tour starts they text me with a change in the itinerary from going to the zoo to going to hot springs. I tried rescheduling, but tour guide said I had to contact the operator. Turns out the zoo is closed for the greater part of April, and they still posted the zoo being open year round. Operator knew well in advance the zoo was closed. Bait and switch, and now they are refusing to refund the money, Operator is in violation of the terms and conditions of Viator, and Viator is no help refunding the money .

    Shirogane Blue Pond

    Shirogane Blue Pond

    Located in the tranquil town of Biei in Hokkaido, Shirogane Blue Pond is a stunning natural wonder famous for its surreal, otherworldly blue color. The pond’s vivid turquoise hue is caused by natural minerals in the water, which reflect sunlight in a way that creates a mesmerizing effect, especially under clear skies. Standing dead birch and larch trees rise from the still surface, adding an eerie yet beautiful contrast to the vibrant water. Originally created as part of an erosion control system following a volcanic eruption from nearby Mount Tokachi, the pond has since become one of Hokkaido’s most iconic scenic spots. It changes appearance with the seasons—from bright, almost neon blue in summer to a mysterious silver-tinged blue in winter—making it a must-visit for photographers and nature lovers alike. Easily accessible by car or local bus, Shirogane Blue Pond is a peaceful stop perfect for sightseeing, short walks, and capturing unforgettable photos of Japan’s natural beauty.
