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!

Quick facts about Usu
General info
What to know before visiting Usu
What to do in Usu
Usu is a compact destination for active sightseeing and scenic rides, led by Tours and Cable cars as the top categories by booking volume on Klook. Tours dominate visitor activity, with many travellers using guided excursions to explore the area, while Cable cars are a popular way to take in panoramic views. Demand follows a strong seasonal rhythm: Klook booking data shows peaks in February and much quieter months in October and August. Travelers weighing lively festival-style months against calmer visits should decide whether they want buzzing crowds or a quieter pace: pick peak atmosphere or a low-key visit.
Best months to visit Usu
Usu's busiest moment is in February, and October is the quietest month of the year, both according to Klook booking data. Prices move independently: November is typically the priciest month while August shows the lowest typical prices, so crowds and costs don't always line up. If you want lower prices and fewer people, consider travelling in August or October; for peak-season atmosphere aim for February when demand is highest.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Peak demand | PHP 3,092 |
| February | Peak demand | PHP 3,271 |
| March | Busier than usual | PHP 2,319 |
| April | Busier than usual | PHP 2,379 |

| October | Very quiet | PHP 2,973 |
| November | Quieter than usual | PHP 3,389 |
| December | Busier than usual | PHP 3,092 |
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 the Philippines
Most travellers from the Philippines book ahead by around 9 days, with the earliest planners booking roughly three weeks out; Klook booking data shows you should plan a little earlier if you travel in the peak month of February. Because many experiences remain available until close to travel, you can stay flexible for non-peak dates, but lock in bookings sooner for February and popular weekend slots. Use Klook to check live availability and secure experiences ahead of travel — it keeps your options open while ensuring you don’t miss must-do tours or cable car rides.
