The itinerary was incredibly rich: it included Lake Shikotsu, Lake Toya, Showa-shinzan Bear Park, Lake Hill Farm, and a boat cruise to watch fireworks. Our guide, Hikaru, was very competent, and the schedule was well-arranged. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't ideal, with clouds and light rain that day, but we still had a fantastic time. Highly recommended.

They contacted us the day before, and on the minibus, they provided explanations at appropriate times and even helped with photos. If you want to buy souvenirs, you should do so at the bear ranch and the Lake Toya observation deck, as many shops in the Lake Toya town area were closed, with only a few eateries remaining open. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't good on the day I went, and the mountains were covered by clouds, but it only started raining after the fireworks display.

Lucy our guide was great and took effort to translate and speak in different languages. She gave good insights and even printed discount coupons for us to use. The trip was pretty well paced except we had a bit too much free time at lake toya as most shops were closed with very limited food options.. the mini fireworks continued despite the light drizzle. Also thanks to our driver for the smooth and long journey. All in all, recommended!

This tour solves the hassle of public transportation from Sapporo to Lake Toya. Taking a car is the most time-saving option, especially if you're only briefly staying in Hokkaido and not driving. The pre-departure communication and itinerary explanation on the day of the tour were reassuring. The winter days get dark quickly, but Frank and the driver still tried their best to take us to the spots while there was still light, and discussed with the group members when we needed to make choices about locations. The weather was great, and chasing fireworks on the boat was a unique experience 💪 (the fireworks also tried their best 🥹 It's good to experience it). It's also great to participate in activities when traveling solo~~ (Thank you Frank for taking pictures for me 🤳).

Kiki, our Chinese-speaking guide, provided excellent and friendly service. The route and rest stops were well-planned. Our whole family felt comfortable and enjoyed the trip. The long drive was manageable with ample time to rest, and we experienced the beautiful Lake Toya Fireworks Festival.

Perfect for lazy travelers like me! After boarding at the meeting point, the tour guide takes the group to each activity stop. The guide is fluent in Chinese, English, and Japanese, and explains the itinerary very clearly.

Really packed itinerary, wonderful sights, great overall experience. Aside from the expected highlight of the fireworks at Lake Toya, the other stops were surprisingly wonderful. our guide, Joy, was fantastic, with the right blend of energy and warmth.

The number of places on the itinerary was good, and the trip accomplished being able to visit many places in one day. I appreciated our guide Yan and he was courteous and polite.
Although it the timing did feel quite tight for lake Shikotsu, since I like exploring around the area. In the allocated time I was able to snap the pictures I wanted, walk along the lake and climb up the mountain to the lookout (I don't recommned the lookout, it was mostly the same view and the leaves covered most of it).
I really didn't enjoy the Bear farm, since it felt like poor animal wellfare. The bears were in concrete enclosures without much effor to mimic their natural habitat while being surrounded by forest.
There was ample time for wandering around Lake Toya before the fireworks. It was helpful that Yan bought everyone's ferry ticket together so we didn't have to spend time waiting in line. It was quite a lovely fireworks show from the ferry with the lights from the hotels in the background.
