Hokkaido Noboribetsu Popular Day Trip: Lake Toya Observation Deck & Lake Toya Onsen Pier & Lake Hill Farm & Showa Shinzan Bear Ranch & Noboribetsu Hell Valley

If you are someone who wants to take their time in one place, this tour isn’t for you. it’s fast-paced and you can visit a lot of places in one day. I especially appreciate the discount tickets that shops hand you when you get off the bus. (I think it was a special discount ticket for those on tour buses). Mila explained the background of the places we went to and recommended go-to-places around Hokkaido.

Booked this tour one day before the activity and made the right choice. Our tour guide Mila is very informative. She gave us valuable information on other places in Japan where we can travel with and her recommendations on the restaurants as well. The tour went smoothly and on time. I highly recommend this tour since you will visit beautiful places in Hokkaido outside the Sapporo city center.

We had a great day tour and our guide was Sunny. Our first stop was the snowmobile area. We didn’t try the snowmobile ride and just waited for the others to finish haha. There’s a waiting area where you can eat and their sweet potato is a must-try! The second stop was the Lake Toya viewpoint. The sky was clear when we arrived so we were able to take photos. Next stop was Lake Hill Farm. Honestly, there’s not much to see here—just two stores. One sells gelato, the other is a bakery. We only tried the gelato and it was nothing special. Next was the Bear Ranch stop. Be prepared for the smell when you get closer to the bear cages! This was my least favorite stop. Although the bears look well-fed, they seemed bored and lazy. Personally, I think it would be better if the ropeway itself was offered as an optional activity aside from the bear ranch. Last stop was Hell Valley. The sky looked beautiful with the steam rising from the valley making it a great way to end the tour.

This tour was amazing in all respect! tour guide Hong and photographer Kevin were very nice and assisting! i wasnt expecting amazing photos taken using SLR! they are ao beautiful! I wasn’t planning to do the snowmobile but decided to go and it was wonderul! so much fun than i expected! Other places were beautiful too, very picturesque. This tour is highly recommended!

Much better than expected, mostly thanks to our tour guide, Meifang. Her flexibility and humanity made the tour enjoyable for everyone. The tour guide is very knowledgeable and explained every attraction in detail, making me understand the value of visiting them. For example, when we went to Lake Toya, the weather was bad and we couldn't see the scenery, but she told us which yogurt pudding and horse oil were only available locally, and that the store was family-run, which I found very interesting. I wasn't planning on riding a snowmobile, but a good tour guide doesn't make you feel like you're being pushed to buy things, and I'm glad I participated because it was the most fun experience. Meifang's greatest strength is her flexibility. When we arrived at the ice cream shop, there was a long queue, so she directly tallied the people who wanted to buy it and bought tickets for the group, and the queue disappeared. Also, due to heavy snow on the last day, there was a traffic jam in Sapporo, so she immediately suggested going to the JR station so we could transfer to a train early and be dismissed earlier. Although the traffic cleared up in the end and we didn't do that, she was great. I usually get carsick, but luckily there were a lot of people that day and we were on a big bus, and the driver, Lei Ge, drove steadily, so I didn't get sick. The only downside was that the person sitting next to me was sick and didn't wear a mask, and kept coughing and sneezing throughout the trip. I got sick the next day as expected!

This one-day tour was fantastic! The guide explained everything clearly and in detail in both Chinese and English. Every scenic spot was beautiful, and we even got to try some local specialties, including cheese and ice cream. I highly recommend this tour, especially to anyone who hasn't visited this area before. I hope to join another tour next time to experience more fun!

Lake Toya + Noboribetsu Hell Valley 🌋 Today I was lucky enough to encounter good weather + a good team leader, and experienced a perfect snowfield adventure ❄️ Snowmobiling is a bit pricey but definitely worth the money 👍 Special thanks to the Taiwanese team leader Xiao Hong and his Hong Kong partner Kevin, their service was professional and meticulous, their introduction was vivid and interesting, and their time management was strict, making the whole trip incredibly smooth and enjoyable. They also used a professional camera to take beautiful family photos for us. In two days, I experienced guides from mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. There's no best, only better. Between being dutiful and dedicated, team leader Xiao Hong set the strongest example. Thank you 🙏

very chill tour! our tour guide triple stone is very helpful, kind, and informative! we loved the tour it is friendly for elderly people. i travelled with my mom and dad (both 59yrs old) and the tour was chill even for them. we availed the snowmobile experience for 20,000 Yen (for 2 people). it is super enjoyable!

The tour is so fantastic. The view super amazing and the weather is so good when we went to the Fukidashi park, Lake Toya view is so good, and the Lake Hill Farm is a nice place for eat ice cream and see the good view.

Thanks for Mr. Hong our tour guide for explain us the trip and itinerary. thank you for always remind all passenger to get back to the bus on time so our schedule is always on time. see you again next time. thanks Klook

All our bookings over the years have been made through Klook, and once again, they did not disappoint. My husband and I decided to join this tour just two days before the actual date, and we’re so glad we did—it was truly unforgettable. Our tour guide, Mila, took exceptional care of us throughout the entire tour. At one point, we realized we hadn’t brought enough cash, assuming credit card payments would be available everywhere. Unfortunately, some places only accepted cash. Thankfully, Mila immediately stepped in and helped us by paying on our behalf, reassuring us that we could simply settle the amount upon arrival at our drop-off point after the tour. We are incredibly grateful for her kindness and support. Without her help, we would have missed the snowmobile experience, which turned out to be the highlight of the tour. Highly recommended!
