Noboribetsu Date Jidai Village tours

this was fantastic. we added a few stops to the itinerary we wanted to do. they fit them in for us and organised everything. our driver Mr Richard was wonderful he drove us around in complete comfort and helped us when we had questions. he also told us about the areas and interesting facts. I highly recommend this tour.

This is actually my second trip to Noboribetsu as it is slightly different from last year. Went to both of the top (Lake Toya Observatory) and bottom (Toyako Onsen) of Lake Toya and the difference of the view is amazing! If you are at Lake Toya Observatory, do remember to buy the 雪華馬油 and the SPF30 Lavander infused sunblock！ Sold only exclusively at the observatory and the Windsor Hotel nearby and you can’t find it anywhere else! Hell Valley was nice too if you don’t mind the smell of sulphur (imagine the smell of rotten eggs)!

There was a small incident when we were gathering in the morning. We got on the bus as soon as we saw it, and did not meet the tour guide at the door first (please note this if you want to book tickets). As a result, the tour guide could not find us, which affected the departure time a little. I'm really sorry. The overall trip was great. The tour guide was very good at switching between Chinese, English and Japanese. He tried his best to answer any questions during the trip and was very humorous. The attractions were all very magnificent and beautiful, but it was a bit of a pity that the visiting time at each attraction was short. But that was also why we visited many attractions! The bus was very comfortable and I didn't feel tired at all during the whole journey. If you want to have a rich and free day tour experience, I highly recommend participating in this activity. This also allowed me to see the cherry blossoms at the end of May! There is a whole row of them blooming right next to Lake Toya, so happy.

It snowed heavily the day before ❄️, and the weather was super good with blue sky and white clouds the next day when we participated in a one-day tour. It was just powder snow so we rode our own snowmobile. It was easy to control and a very enjoyable ride. Halfway through, we had 30 minutes to take photos, play in the snow, and ride on a skateboard. The tour guide Tenzo was also very enthusiastic and introduced and shared the must-try things in Hokkaido. The whole trip was very enjoyable! For some self-funded trips, it is recommended to inform the approximate amount, because you need to pay in cash, but you can prepare more in advance. Otherwise, now that everyone has switched to electronic payment or credit card, you won’t carry so much cash. Although there are also times to withdraw money at convenience stores, it is of course better to prepare in advance~

This was a very beautiful and worthwhile tour of Noboribetsu and the Lake Toya area, with ample time to adequately explore all of the areas with stunning and awe-inspiring views. Our tour guide, Helen, was also excellent and went above and beyond by sharing her knowledge and experiences with us all while making sure that we were adequately taken care of throughout the entire trip. Overall, would highly recommend this tour as a must-see for any trip to Hokkaido.

it was an easy and leisurely trip, there's no rush because you'll be given an hour to roam around, it's a whole lot of travel time. Jay is such a chill, knowledgeable guide, the driver was really good at driving.

Very good option for 1 day trip. Although we wished to more time in some locations, we also understand that time is limited for tour groups. However it is still an enjoyable and value for money option.

it was snowing heavily and the driver gave pit stops to allow us to use the toilets. went blue pond, fam tomita, ningle terrace, shikaki no osa...nice places in winter for photo taking.
