I had an absolutely fantastic experience on our Hokkaido day tour with Jenny! From start to finish, everything was organized seamlessly. Jenny was extremely friendly, attentive, and kept us on schedule while ensuring everyone had plenty of time to enjoy each stop. Her clear instructions regarding pick-up points and timing made the whole day stress-free. If you're booking a day tour to explore in Hokkaido, I highly recommend Jenny as your guide! Thank you for a memorable day! 😊

I recently participated in the Hokkaido day tour provided by YH International Travel (visiting Noboribetsu Jigokudani, Cape Chikyu, Silo Observation Deck, Mount Usu and Showa Shinzan, Bear Ranch, and Lake Shikotsu), and the overall experience was extremely satisfying! I especially want to praise our tour leader, Xiao Weng (a Taiwanese who married in Japan), who is an exceptionally patient, gentle, and considerate guide. In addition to providing professional trilingual commentary in Chinese, English, and Japanese, she was also very thoughtful in arranging seating on the bus. At every attraction, she would lead everyone to the designated spot, clearly explaining the route, restroom locations, and recommended foods, and even proactively helped everyone take photos. She has a deep and acute perception of travelers' needs. Although I was a bit worried when I saw a 60% chance of rain before departure, fortune smiled upon us and the day turned out to be clear and cloudless! Not only did we witness the magnificent Jigokudani and the vast, stunning curved horizon of Cape Chikyu with our own eyes, but we also got to taste the rich Lake Shikotsu soft-serve ice cream. The only slight pity was that due to the high latitude, the sun set very quickly; the surrounding roads on the return trip were a bit dark, making it impossible to see the scenery along the way and the occasionally passing wild deer, so we just took the opportunity to rest and catch up on sleep on the bus. The pace of this itinerary was well arranged, plus the fellow passengers on the bus were all punctual, and the tour leader took such careful care of everyone. I highly recommend this trip and tour leader Xiao Weng!

The trip was packed with attractions and shout out to our guide, Jenny, cus she’s amazing. She’s fun, informative, and honest about what’s worth doing and buying. It wouldn’t be as fun without her. This is an easy way to see a lot of things in one day and good for solo travelers. Also, get the ice cream at Farm Hill. It’s so good.

Really good tour to see a lot of sights of this part of Hokkaido in one day, while not being too rushed anywhere. Lisa was a great guide, she helped to point out the interesting attractions out the windows and where was the best places to go for photos. The driver was excellent as well, even slowing down to let us get a better look at some deer.

Really enjoyable tour & thanks to Catherine our guide who patiently explained things to us in 4 languages! The lunch was really tasty & worth the price paid. Just wish to have more time at the Showa-Shinzan to see the bears as well as Mt Usu ropeway. It was a bit rushed. Anyway it is still a very good tour.

We got a driver not a guide. All he did was pick us up from pick up points, drop us at each destinations and make sure we come back on time! Tour program was ok. We just made the most of what we can experience from the places we visited. They were stunning!

Our tour guide is Yan, she shared with us the some of the history and iconic things in Hokkaido including places to visit and food. Overall had a nice experience as we managed to visit multiple places. Dam: recommend to go up first. Next stop we have opportunity for foot bath, towel is recommend to be bought along. Lake Toya souvenir: yogurt drink and pudding is more special. Showa Shinzo: where we had lunch and got opportunity to go up the roadway if interested. Mount Yotei: bring your empty bottles to collect water!

We loved our Hokkaido Mount Yotei tour! The hotel pick-up and drop-off made everything so easy, and the small group size kept it relaxing. Our guide, Wei, was right on time and a very safe driver, so we felt totally comfortable the whole day. The schedule wasn't rushed at all, giving us plenty of time to sit back and enjoy each stop. Highly recommend Wei and this tour!

What to know before visiting Usu

What to expect in Usu

Usu is best known for immersive Tours and scenic Cable cars, with tours leading booking volumes year-round and cable car rides a popular add-on. Demand builds strongly in January — a clear winter peak — with quieter summer months through July–September and the softest booking levels in October, according to Klook booking data. That rhythm means many travellers chase seasonal scenery and guided experiences in the peak months, while those seeking lower crowds should target the quieter mid-year months. Decide whether you want peak atmosphere or peaceful off-peak time — Klook booking data helps you plan which months suit you.

When to visit Usu

January is the busiest month, and October is the quietest: bookings are highest in January and fall to their lowest in October, per Klook booking data. Prices move through the year too: the cheapest median price on Klook was typically HKD 281 in August, while the priciest median was HKD 421 in February. The months of July–September show low demand but mixed prices, so you can find quieter conditions with variable cost; for both lively atmosphere and higher prices head to January and February. For lower prices and smaller crowds, consider August or September; for peak-season atmosphere, pick January or February.

Tips for travellers from Hong Kong

Most travellers from Hong Kong generally book ahead — on average about 9 days ahead, with the earliest planners booking around 26 days out, according to Klook booking data — so treat your trip as one to plan in advance, especially for peak months when demand is higher. If you prefer flexibility you can still find last-minute options (many are available up to 2 days before), but for January and February it pays to lock popular tours earlier. Book experiences on Klook to secure preferred dates and times, check the median prices for your month, and choose quieter months if you want lower crowds and often better availability.
