Lake Shikotsu tours

We joined the tour on 21 August 2025, and our guide, Lisa, was outstanding. She is very professional and speaks fluent Mandarin and English, and even communicated smoothly with the driver in Japanese. Throughout the trip, she introduced us to famous attractions and local foods in Hokkaido, guided us with clear instructions, and made the whole journey enjoyable. We especially loved her thoughtful idea of having a picnic at Lake Toya, where we could enjoy lunch while admiring the view of the “mini Mount Fuji.” It was truly a wonderful experience, and we are very grateful for her excellent guidance.

I love the places we visited specially the lakes and Lake hill farm, however the fireworks is underwhelming and we waited for almost 3hrs for that. Our tour guide Grace is reallyy nice i’m the only english speaker in our group and she translates everything for me.

Today's itinerary was fantastic! The schedule was exactly as described. Lake Toya and Lake Hill Farm were incredibly beautiful, and the bears at the Bear Park were so cute. Especially our guide, David, who was absolutely amazing! 👍👍 He gave us so much information about Hokkaido and each attraction, and his recommendations for food and activities were spot on. He was the best guide we've had during our trip to Hokkaido! We watched the fireworks on the lake, enjoyed a day trip to a Toya Lake onsen (hot spring), ate ice cream and fried chicken, and appreciated the beauty of Hill Farm and Lake Toya. It was a perfect day!

Our guide, (so sorry I forgot his name) who is a Taiwanese was very informative, accommodating and friendly. He even offered us to take our pictures. He's very considerate to the others who are a little bit late. We (with my husband and daughter) really enjoyed this tour. 5 stars for our guide.

I was the only foreigner in the group, but the tour guide and other group members took good care of me. The headphones had explanations in various languages. Lunch was eaten at a very beautiful hot spring hotel. It is not very convenient to go to Lake Toya from Sapporo, but this one-day tour is still worry-free.

we LOVED every bit of this trip!!! We were lucky because during our trip, the weather was very good and everything was smooth sailing. we love both attractions and it was really a great experience! our tour guide was Hazel, and she was extra nice and amazing — she speaks 3 languages!!! This trip was superb, I highly recommend it!! It’s really a bang for your buck!!

Linda was kind and down to business, she made it clear what times to get back on the bus so we would not miss it. Good hiking at the last stop where the Pagoda is. The lunch ranged from 2000-3500 yen, but coffee/soft drinks/refills were free.

a must go destination / tour if you’re visiting Hokkaido! lake shikotsu was my favourite part, the yamasen bridge was beautiful. we actually had tour guide lisa yang two days in a row for two different tours, and she was so lovely and helpful in both! she did her best to help us resolve a ticketing issue with klook which we really appreciated! she’s also very good at taking photos :) that said, I don’t recommend purchasing tickets to see the bear ranch as it’s quite small and it’s a bit unsettling to see the bears locked up :( other than that, everything else in this tour was absolutely amazing 💕 thank you lisa!
