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 a compact destination where Tours lead the way, followed by Cable cars, and activity levels swing through the year. Klook booking data shows tours dominate visitor choices, with cable-car rides popular for scenic viewpoints. Demand peaks in December and January when the city sees its busiest months, and drops to very quiet levels in July. For travellers deciding when to visit, pick between lively peak-season atmosphere and quieter, lower-cost months — Klook booking data helps identify those trade‑offs.

When to visit Usu

December and January are the busiest months: Klook booking data records December as a clear high point and January also shows strong demand. July is typically the quietest month, and prices follow their own rhythm — the median price peaks in September while July is the lowest. Where demand and price align, expect peak atmosphere in December; where they diverge, July offers quieter streets and lower median prices.

Month Demand Level Typical Price
January Peak demand MYR 203

March Busier than usual MYR 158
April Quieter than usual MYR 158

August Quieter than usual MYR 142
September Very quiet MYR 239
October Very quiet MYR 215

Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.

Tips for travellers from Malaysia

Most travellers from Malaysia book well in advance — Klook booking data shows bookings typically happen about 12 days ahead, while the earliest planners book around 25 days out. That means you should plan ahead for popular dates, especially in December when demand surges. If your schedule is flexible, July is when median prices are lowest and crowds are smallest. Book experiences on Klook early for peak months, and take advantage of the platform when you want last‑minute flexibility — many options remain available until about 4 days before departure.
