Disappointed in Viator...
Disappointed in Viator and their local partner. Although our reservation was for 2 people they sent us a huge bus for 15. Not only embarrassing but super uncomfortable. Seats did not lie back and there was no leg room. Really don’t understand how they screwed this up. Rest of the day was not much better. The Museum was unexpectedly closed. The sulphuric springs were interesting as was the town of Noboribetsu; lots of cute shops and good food. Saw some of the floats for the parade that really did not start until the evening so we headed back to our hotel 2 hours early. They were very flexible about the scheduling which I appreciated.
Response from the operator: Dear Jamie, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We truly appreciate your review and are glad to hear that you enjoyed parts of the day, including the sulphur springs and Noboribetsu town. We also appreciate your kind comment regarding the flexibility with the schedule. Regarding the vehicle, your booking was made under the service category for up to 15 passengers, which is typically operated by a microbus or similar vehicle, as shown in the reference photo on the booking page. We understand that, with only 2 passengers travelling, the vehicle may have felt larger than expected and not as comfortable as you had hoped. For future reference, for a smaller group of 2 passengers, the service category for up to 8 passengers may be more suitable. Regarding Upopoi Museum, the museum was originally scheduled to be open on your travel date. However, due to heavy rain in the Iburi area, a water outage occurred in Shiraoi Town and affected the museum’s operations. As a result, the museum announced a temporary closure on the same day. As this was an unexpected same-day closure, we were unfortunately unable to advise you in advance or adjust the itinerary beforehand. We sincerely regret any inconvenience and disappointment this may have caused. We are sorry that the day did not fully meet your expectations, but we are grateful that you still shared the parts you enjoyed with us. Your feedback is very helpful, and we will keep your comments in mind when reviewing how we present and communicate our vehicle categories and itinerary details to guests. Thank you again for choosing our service, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a smoother experience in the future. Kind regards, Luna Wang Reservations SkyExpress

Noboribetsu Customized Private Day Tour Up to 15 Passengers: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sapporo.
How much does Noboribetsu Customized Private Day Tour Up to 15 Passengers cost?
+
Prices start at $659 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sapporo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Noboribetsu Customized Private Day Tour Up to 15 Passengers take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sapporo is not rushed.
Is Noboribetsu Customized Private Day Tour Up to 15 Passengers worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 47 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sapporo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Noboribetsu Customized Private Day Tour Up to 15 Passengers?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Noboribetsu Customized Private Day Tour Up to 15 Passengers suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Noboribetsu Customized Private Day Tour Up to 15 Passengers?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sapporo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sapporo and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Noboribetsu Customized Private Day Tour Up to 15 Passengers start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sapporo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sapporo?
+
On Outty we rank every Sapporo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sapporo Bar Hopping Food Tour, Wagashi traditional japanese sweets class, Mondo's most popular No.1!Private experienceThe king of buckwheat noodles making and Japanese food in Sapporo!A plan to enjoy tempura!. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sapporo?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sapporo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Noboribetsu Customized Private Day Tour Up to 15 Passengers?
