What to expect
- Nixe Marine Park "Daily Penguin Walk": Watch adorable penguins "parade" in the snow up close and check out this popular winter-only event (subject to weather and animal conditions; times will be based on the park's announcements, and we will do our best to align our schedule with the official times).
- Snowmobile Experience: Speed through the snowfields of Lake Toya or Kimobetsu area and feel the speed and passion of Hokkaido's powder snow (professional instructor guidance).
- Noboribetsu Jigokudani (Hell Valley): Steam and sulfurous fumes billow amidst the snowy scenery, creating an even more stunning winter spectacle.
- Showa Shinzan: Located on the shores of Lake Toya within the Shikotsu-Toya National Park, Showa Shinzan is a lava dome that rose from the flatlands during the eruption of Mount Usu from 1943–45, hence the name "New Mountain of Showa." The reddish-brown rock mass and continuously smoking vents create a unique volcanic landscape. The contrast with the white snow in winter is striking and makes for stunning photos. The Showa Shinzan Bear Park next door is perfect for families with children.
- Silo Observatory: Overlook Lake Toya and Mount Usu/Mount Yotei with a panoramic view. The photo opportunity rate is extremely high when the weather is good. Whether you are traveling with family, as a couple, or with friends, you can create unforgettable Hokkaido memories in a relaxed and comfortable trip.
(Winter tours will determine departure dates depending on snowfall conditions. Currently, the tentative start date is December 15th. If there is insufficient snow, the snowmobile activity will be replaced with other attractions without separate notice. Thank you for your understanding.)

Winter snow complements the sulfurous steam, geothermal clouds rolling in a landscape that changes with every step.

Experience the wonders of nature amidst the swirling mist.

Walk along the wooden boardwalk to experience the "breath" of the volcano up close.

Lower your perspective and quietly travel alongside them for a while – pure healing.

Penguins parade in neat formation across the snow, bringing a touch of winter's cuteness and ritual.

Watch tens of thousands of sardines swirl in a giant tank, creating a "silver storm" where light and shadow flow like a galaxy.

A lava dome that rose from eruptions between 1943–45, characterized by a striking reddish-brown rock mass.

The fumaroles at the foot of the mountain emit smoke year-round, with a particularly strong contrast in winter.

Enjoy a panoramic view of Lake Toya and Nakajima Island, showcasing classic lake and mountain scenery.

Enjoy the tranquility of the lakeside.

In winter, the lake's surface is like a mirror, clearly reflecting the snowy mountains and cloud shadows.

Led by professional instructors, even beginners can quickly get the hang of it.

The forest and mountain silhouettes blur by, revealing the distinct layers of winter.

Speed through the powder snow plains, with snow swirling in the air.
