点评:We have recently returned from a 14-day 'Japan, Spirit of Spring - A Journey in Hokkaido's Landscapes, Wildlife and Culture 2026’ walking holiday with Park Tours. We absolutely loved the trip!
We were attracted to this tour by the opportunities to experience the local cultures, including that of the indigenous Ainu people, and to get off the beaten tourist track and explore National Parks, World Heritage areas and Ramsar Wetlands with a small group of like-minded people. As first time travellers to Hokkaido, we were pleasantly surprised at the wide variety of landscapes, from volcanic peaks with the last of the winter snows, to steaming fumeroles and bubbling hot mud and springs, to fresh green birch forests, wide open seascapes, and rich farmlands. There were many highlights, not the least being walking up close to these fumeroles and sulphur deposits on extinct volcanoes, walking among old forests next to crater lakes, learning about the Ainu culture and experiencing some of their folk dances and music, the local foods and learning how to make some of our own, and seeing wild bears and orcas. We stayed in a range of accommodation styles, almost all with onsens so we could soak in the warm waters at the end of the day. And wearing kimonos, supplied by our accommodation, to breakfast and dinner was a great touch.
Our experiences were enhanced by our Japanese tour leader, Yuichi, and Park Tours' owner, Luke. We learned so much more than we would have as independent travellers, with Yuichi's enthusiasm for all things Hokkaido and explanations of culture, food and wildlife, and Luke's love of the outdoors and experiences in natural and unspoilt environments.
翻译:我们最近参加了Park Tours组织的为期14天的“日本春之灵——2026北海道风景、野生动物与文化之旅”徒步旅行。我们非常喜欢这次旅行!
吸引我们参加这次旅行的是它提供体验当地文化的机会,包括与原住民阿伊努人交流,以及远离喧嚣的旅游路线,与一群志同道合的人一起探索国家公园、世界遗产地和拉姆萨尔湿地。作为第一次来北海道的旅行者,我们惊喜地发现这里拥有丰富多样的景观:从覆盖着冬日残雪的火山峰顶,到冒着热气的喷气孔和汩汩冒泡的泥浆温泉,再到郁郁葱葱的白桦林、开阔的海景和肥沃的农田。这次旅行亮点纷呈,其中最令人难忘的莫过于近距离观察死火山上的喷气孔和硫磺沉积物,漫步于火山口湖畔的古老森林,了解阿伊努文化,欣赏他们的民俗歌舞,品尝当地美食并学习烹饪方法,以及观赏野生熊和虎鲸。我们入住了各种类型的住宿,几乎都配备了温泉,让我们可以在一天结束时泡在温暖的泉水中。住宿方提供的和服让我们在享用早餐和晚餐时倍感舒适,这真是一个贴心的安排。
我们的日本导游Yuichi和Park Tours的老板Luke也为这次旅行增色不少。Yuichi对北海道的一切都充满热情,他讲解了当地的文化、美食和野生动物;Luke则热爱户外活动,喜欢体验自然纯净的环境。相比于独自旅行,我们这次旅行收获颇丰。
