Things to do in Lake Kuttara

The day trip is perfectly timed. If it's your first time in Hokkaido, this is a great option. It's a convenient way to visit multiple locations that would otherwise require driving.

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.

Total time to be spent is maximum 2 hours. Recommend to buy bear food, which you can throw to the bear. Duck race is pretty entertaining, you can bet on which duck will win the race. If you are right, you can win a keychain! It was rainy weather unfortunately, very cloudy and could not see the views.

Guide Kim In-jae contacted me a day in advance regarding the necessary preparations and meeting location, and I was able to easily find it thanks to the location tag provided. While traveling by bus, they explained Sapporo and the Ainu people, which was refreshing and informative. Noboribetsu had a unique landscape that is hard to find in Korea, and surprisingly, Fukidashi Park was very cool, like having the air conditioning on. Out of the three days of tours to Noboribetsu, Biei, and Shakotan during my Sapporo trip, the Noboribetsu tour was the best. I am also grateful to the guide for being so kind and answering questions thoroughly 😃

The tour was amazing!! 👍 I highly recommend Hell Valley and the Bear Ranch!!

This tour guide is well-read and makes the tour very interesting. The pudding they recommended at the ranch was fantastic! The only downside was a group of three extremely noisy and tardy individuals on the bus. Otherwise, the other tour members were great! If I have the chance to come to Japan again, I'd definitely join another day tour led by this guide!

Very affordable, easy to redeem tickets, the penguins in the park are super cute, and the show schedule is very well organized.

The activities are fulfilling and time well-spent, covering many locations. Entrance to the bear ranch is optional. There are activities within the park, such as a ticket stub drawing where you can win a basket of apples and cantaloupe. Feeding the bears apples is a lot of fun!!
