1

Lake Toya Snowmobile (self-funded)
For winter

1 hr(s) • Guided • Pay on site

Gallop across the vast snowfields of Lake Toya and embark on a passionate ice and snow adventure. The roar of the engine shatters the silence of the snowfield, wheels crush the fluffy and thick powder snow, and you shuttle all the way through the silvery-white forest. The field of vision is filled with the vast winter scenery of the northern country. (Guests who do not participate in snowmobiling can freely take photos and play in the snow here.)

2

Lake Toya Observation Deck
Observatory deck

20 min(s) • Guided • Free entry

In winter, Lake Toya is embraced by glistening white snow, with crystal-clear waters and the surrounding mountain forests blanketed in silver. Standing at the high-altitude observation deck, looking out at the snow-capped mountains and the tranquil lake, the entire world between heaven and earth is pristine and pure white. The winter mountain and lake snowscape is grand and expansive, making it an absolute must-visit spot for winter photography and check-ins.

3

Lake Hill Farm

20 min(s) • Guided • Free entry

The lakeside ranch in winter puts on a white coat, with the snowy plains reflecting the cabin. Tasting a rich, milky, ranch-made ice cream in the cold wind is a romance unique to Hokkaido. Overlooking the snow-covered Mount Yotei and Lake Toya, the healing atmosphere is full and suitable for a brief rest.

4

Showa Shinzan Bear Ranch (admission not included)
Animal encounters

1 hr(s) • Guided • Pay on site

The bear ranch in winter has a unique charm, where you can see brown bears moving around and playing in the white snow. Visitors can buy tickets on their own to enter, purchase feed, and feed the cute brown bears. Right behind is the reddish-brown body of Mount Showa-shinzan; the pristine white snow and the crimson volcanic rock walls form a striking visual contrast, creating a highly impactful scene.

5

Noboribetsu Hell Valley

40 min(s) • Guided • Free entry

Hell's Valley in winter is a rare spectacle of ice and fire! The valley is blanketed in pristine white snow, while geothermal fissures continue to billow thick clouds of sulfur smoke. Amidst the vast expanse of white snow, hazy steam swirls around—a dramatic intertwining of cold and heat that maximizes the atmospheric vibe.
