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!

Was fuss free to book via Klook and ticket was easy to use, just need to show the counter to exchange for physical tickets and u r on ur way to the ropeway and bear park! But the bear park is very small area and a bit underwhelming and the bears look really sad and they are constantly doing the action to ask visitors to throw food to them.. I feel kinda depressed looking at that actually.

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.

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!

Buying tickets online is really convenient. You just scan the QR code to enter. We happened to visit when a kindergarten class was on a field trip, and the animal show was full of joy, with everyone immersed in the experience. Klook is super convenient for buying both tickets and package tours.👍

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 Noboribetsu

What to do in Noboribetsu year-round

Noboribetsu is known for immersive Tours, family-friendly Zoos & aquariums and visits to Historical sites, with Outdoor & sports activities also popular for active travellers. Klook booking data shows a strong winter rhythm: demand peaks in January and again in December, while late summer months such as August and September are much quieter. Use that seasonality to decide whether you want lively winter festivals and full services or a calmer, more atmospheric visit in quieter months. Decide whether you prefer peak-season buzz or quieter off-peak calm. Based on Klook booking data.

Best months to visit and typical prices

January is the busiest month, with Peak demand on Klook, while August is the quietest month with Very quiet demand. Prices move through the year — the dataset shows the priciest typical bookings in February and the cheapest typical bookings in April, and there are months where demand and price diverge (January has very high demand but not the absolute highest median price). For lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for April or June; for peak-season atmosphere choose December or January. Klook booking data informs these patterns.

Month Demand Level Typical Price
January Peak demand MYR 85
February Peak demand MYR 223
March Busier than usual MYR 146
April Quieter than usual MYR 81
May Very quiet MYR 154
June Very quiet MYR 81
July Quieter than usual MYR 174
August Very quiet MYR 154
September Very quiet MYR 162
October Quieter than usual MYR 211
November Busier than usual MYR 211
December Peak demand MYR 211

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 a bit ahead — they typically lock experiences in about 17 days ahead, with the earliest planners booking around 26 days out, according to Klook booking data. That means you have some flexibility to pick dates and compare options, but in the peak months (December and January) booking earlier usually pays off to secure preferred times. On Klook you can compare options and snap up confirmed slots once your dates are set; consider booking popular Tours and timed experiences sooner rather than later. Based on Klook booking data.
