Things to do in Mount Moiwa

A great choice if you want a beautiful, flexible, and well‑organized tour that lets you make the most out of a short travel window. Highly recommended for anyone who wants freedom and variety without sacrificing convenience.

Our chartered car itinerary went from Sapporo to Jozankei and Lake Toya, carrying four suitcases. I am so glad I chose to book the one-day private car service, which made our trip effortless. Thank you to our driver, Gege, for the very safe and smooth driving. We loved the Futami Foot Bath and the lunch restaurant that was recommended, and the sunflowers outside the restaurant were beautiful.

Miss Marica was very punctual. Even though it was a stormy day with rain and snow, she drove comfortably, took us even to nearby places, and when we asked about places like coffee shops, she recommended a great spot. The car was also so comfortable that I traveled almost the entire time sleeping in a nearly lying-down position.

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.

This is a convenient place to enjoy hot springs near Hokkaido. The direct bus service is very convenient, and the hotel is also very close to the bus stop, just a five-minute walk away. The hot spring facilities are clean, and after a relaxing soak, enjoying the hotel's buffet lunch was very satisfying 😌. There's also a convenience store nearby. If your plans finish early, and it's not peak season, you can use your ticket to take an earlier bus down the mountain according to the schedule.

The bus used for this tour has very spacious and comfortable seats, and the driver is Japanese. The four main attractions on this day trip are definitely the most worth visiting in Biei and Furano. The tour guide, Habi, was very professional and even willing to add LINE to provide pre-trip consultation services, as well as offering great restaurant recommendations. Providing explanations in multiple languages was quite impressive, and make sure to buy the potato chips he recommended. As for the two ramen restaurants for lunch, many locals start coming in to eat after 12:00 PM, so don't wander around the market when you arrive—go straight to eat. There is a delicious bakery inside the market where you can buy some snacks to eat on the bus ride back. Biei and Furano are a bit cooler than Sapporo, and the Blue Pond, in particular, gets extremely cold at night, so be sure to bring enough warm clothing.

Great experience. The firework show was fantastic. The guide was great and well-organized. Lisa and her team made our tour a safe and memorable one.
