Traveling around Hokkaido can be a bit inconvenient, so joining a tour is the best way to visit scenic spots in the countryside. The departure point at the North Exit of Sapporo Station is very easy to find.
This time, I joined a tour with PST, led by Hikaru (the guide in the yellow hat). He is fluent in Mandarin, English, and Japanese, and shared a wealth of knowledge about Hokkaido and its local cuisine throughout the trip.
His explanations on the bus were very thorough. He spoke in both Mandarin and English, making sure neither group was left out, and delivered them in a lively, engaging, and attentive manner.
Hikaru also proactively offered to take photos for everyone, finding the best angles for the tour members.
At the souvenir shop, Hikaru introduced the most delicious and useful items without any hard selling. Before leaving, he even handed out drugstore discount coupons.
There were 47 people in our group, but everyone was friendly and punctual, and the bus seats were very comfortable. We visited five different attractions in one day, all of which were stunning and featured autumn foliage. It is definitely worth a visit. At only 7,000 yen, this tour is an incredible value with high cost-performance. I highly recommend it to everyone!

Our guide, Alex, was great and helped to take photos of many of us. He also shared bits and pieces of information about the attractions we went to in English and Chinese. The timings allocated for each attraction was also just nice. For those without transport, this was worth the money.

All the spots we visited were gorgeous! Our tour guide, Xiao Weng, was also wonderful. He introduced the attractions, gave advice on what to buy and how to make the most of our time, and more. I was originally hesitating between this and another package that included Makkari Village to see Mount Yotei, but I didn't expect that I'd get to see Mount Yotei from the TOYA Observatory today anyway! It was stunning and gave me such a pleasant surprise 🫶🏻 Also, Cape Chikyu is truly worth visiting, though it seems less common in other tour packages. You can see from the videos how calm and gentle the color of the sea is 🫶🏻 Plus, there was actually a refrigerator on the bus! But I left my white pudding behind in the car 🤣 Good thing I was able to contact the staff immediately via WhatsApp. Their customer service was great and their response time was super fast. Highly recommended overall!

I took the trip with hide cai. I liked the pace and the sites were what I wanted to see. The tour guide spoke English well and was able to provide valuable information about the sites that we visited. The weather also cooperated today and we did not encounter any rain.

I was very impressed with this trip. The tour guide took great care of us, was friendly, and managed time exceptionally well, allowing us to visit a wide variety of places. Each location was beautiful and very interesting. The only downside was that it rained the entire way; however, seeing the mountains and nature covered in mist turned out to be beautiful and charming in its own way. It was a truly memorable experience.

I thought I booked my tour for the 15th, but I found out it was for the 17th (I planned to leave for Biei on the 17th). I talked to the guide, Joy, and she was able to make exception for me to join the group for the 15th. Joy was an amazing guide, full of enthusiaism and humor. I was the only English participant and she took the time to go over the details one on one. Nothing felt rushed. Would recommend Joy as your tour guide any day.

We had a wonderful day trip exploring Noboribetsu Hell Valley, Lake Toya, Mount Usu, and the Bear Ranch. A huge shoutout to our guide, Lucy, who was so informative and went out of her way to help us get some wonderful photos. The sights were a real highlight and made for a fantastic day out. The only minor drawback was the transport, as the bus felt a bit cramped for a long-distance journey. Making the seating a bit more spacious would make the ride much more comfortable, but overall it was a really memorable experience thanks to Lucy and the amazing itinerary!

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.

I do enjoy this tour and highly recommend in you want to explore different area/places within Sapporo. I much better enjoy this compared to yesterday cherryblossom full day tour. Our tour guide Xixi also knowledgeable with the area and appreciate that she emphasize the time to go back in our bus. She also take good picture of me. The weather was also nice which added with the good tour. Perhaps will go back here with Fam and book this tour again. Thank you Klook 🥰

What to know about Lake Toya
Located in Shikotsu-Toya National Park, Lake Toya is a stunning caldera lake in Hokkaido, Japan, formed by ancient volcanic activity. It’s famous for its clear, ice-free waters even in winter, and the majestic Mount Usu, an active volcano that last erupted in 2000.
When you visit, you can relax in Toyako Onsen, explore the lakeside trails, or take a sightseeing cruise to Nakajima Island at the lake’s center. There are also tons of opportunities for fishing, camping, and even attending a fireworks festival that lasts over 180 days.
Plan your trip now and book your Lake Toya activities, hotels, and tours for an exciting getaway in Hokkaido.
Lake Tōya, Hokkaido, Japan
Things to do in Lake Toya

Hop aboard a sightseeing cruise from the Toyako Onsen pier to explore the serene waters of Lake Toya and its central Nakajima Islands. You'll enjoy incredible views of Mount Usu and the surrounding Shikotsu-Toya National Park scenery.
Visit Mount Usu and Showa Shinzan

The lake's perimeter trail stretches about 40 km, offering scenic hiking and cycling routes. You can rent a bike near the Toyako Onsen Bus Terminal and enjoy peaceful views of the lakeshore, especially during summer and early autumn.
Tips Before Visiting Lake Toya
Plan Around the Fireworks Season
Visit between late April and late October to experience the nightly Lake Toya Fireworks Festival, one of Japan's longest-running displays. Many hotels offer rooms with lake views so you can watch from your balcony.
Bring Layers and Comfortable Shoes
Weather in Hokkaido can change quickly, especially near the lake and mountain. Pack layers, and wear sturdy shoes for hiking, camping, or exploring volcanic trails.
