Noboribetsu Hell Valley & Cape Chikyu Day Trip

The best value for money! The weather was great that day, and from Cape Chikyu, we could see the mountains of Hakodate across the bay. This tour not only visited the must-see spots of Noboribetsu, Toya, and Showa Shinzan, but also uniquely included Kyogoku Fukidashi Park. While there, we met some Hong Kongers who lived nearby, and they were surprised that a tour group would visit! Our guide thoughtfully reminded us to bring water bottles to fill up, and at the park, we saw many people buying buckets to take water home. I highly recommend the local potato pudding; it's very unique and delicious! The tour price also included a seafood lunch, which was incredibly tasty and a great value. Our guide, Michelle, was very professional and dedicated. Our group had travelers from various places (Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, USA, Poland). Being half-Taiwanese, half-Japanese, and having lived in Hong Kong for many years, she introduced the attractions and explained important information in four languages (Cantonese, Mandarin, English, Japanese). She was also humorous and friendly, which made the trip even more enjoyable!

Such a beautiful and well-planned tour! Every destination was worth visiting, and the itinerary gave us a really nice variety of scenery and experiences. We chose the option with the scallop set lunch, and it was delicious. For me, this tour was truly worth every penny and one of those tours I would happily recommend to anyone visiting Hokkaido. Catherine was also one of the best parts of the experience. She is very knowledgeable, clear with instructions, calm, gentle, and genuinely kind. She even took time to take photos of us at every destination, one by one, which I really appreciated. You can really feel how considerate she is toward everyone in the group. I also loved that she reminded us to thank our driver at the end of the tour, such a simple gesture, but it showed how thoughtful she is. Thank you, JC Group, for a wonderful tour, and a very special thank you to Catherine. Highly recommended!

It was a fabulous experience, thanks to our wonderful guide Catherine (trilingual and very animated) and driver (very professional and safe). We were blessed with great weather, so the sights were beautiful! The scallop lunch was also delicious, very worth a try. Enjoyed myself so much!

The excursion was absolutely perfect! We visited five different places, and each one was unique. Hell Valley, in particular, was absolutely fantastic and definitely my highlight. Our tour guide, Catherine, was also great. She speaks Chinese, Cantonese, Japanese, and English, and guided us perfectly through the day. Her explanations were informative, witty, and engaging. The scallop meal was delicious (four types were served; I found the sashimi to be the best). For those who prefer, there are also several restaurants, a corn stand, or you can buy sandwiches at the top of the mountain after the Ropeway (an additional ¥2000). The minibus was very clean, and the entire tour was excellently organized. It was a wonderful excursion that I definitely wouldn't want to have missed!

October 23, 2026: The weather was wonderful and perfect for outdoor sightseeing. The trip went smoothly, and the scenery at every attraction was breathtaking—we even got to see the fall foliage. The four-course scallop lunch was also delicious. Thank you so much to our tour guide, Catherine, for her attentive care and dedicated service, and many thanks to our driver for her hard work as well. My friend and I had a wonderful day, and I highly recommend this tour to everyone!

I was very lucky to find this day tour before my trip. The tour guide, Catherine, was very nice and professional. She used Mandarin, English, and Cantonese to ensure all members understood. She proactively helped take photos and provided extended introductions to many attractions. When faced with the unexpected situation of a highway closure, she helped coordinate and didn't directly cut out the itinerary. The recommended food was also good, such as the balloon pudding at the observation deck, which was novel and delicious 😋. I compared almost all the Noboribetsu-Lake Toya day tours on Klook, and this tour's itinerary covered almost all the major attractions of other tours, as well as the unique Meisui Park. This attraction is not very popular and doesn't have many tourists, so it is relatively quiet and not crowded. Personally, I don't really like thrilling activities, and I wasn't originally interested in snowmobiling. I was hoping for a tour that would allow me to stroll around Noboribetsu Onsen Street and soak in the hot springs, but after the experience, the snowmobile was very fun and worth trying. I heard that the horsepower is relatively high, so it is very powerful to drive. The scenery along the mountain that had just snowed was fantastic. Especially on the return trip, I was lucky enough to see a clear view of Mount Yotei, which was very beautiful, but unfortunately, I couldn't stop to take pictures. The overall time of the day was not too rushed, and it also included a good lunch, making it very cost-effective. Unfortunately, the Mount Usu Ropeway was not open due to strong winds. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we arrived at Hell Valley in the dark, so we couldn't see it clearly, leaving some regrets for the next visit. A family of 3 traveled, and my parents were also very satisfied. Support this new agency.

Very enjoyable 1-day tour, the time arrangement well organized, not too rushed and even my 7 yo kids is very happy and loved it. Every place was very beautiful, and the scallop set lunch is proper and delicious. Catherine as our tour guide was very helpful and she also good to take photo, the Japanese driver also very experienced. I'm satisfying and recommend to join this tour if you want to explore Noboribetsu, Lake Toya and Hell Valley area and dont forget to try the snowmobiling too.

Joe was really amazing guide. We had great time, perfect weather and also fantastic food/icecream thanks to him. I would 100% reccomend this trip. Views were outstanding!
