Noboribetsu Jigokudani in winter is quiet and mysterious, with the scent of sulfur revealing a sense of primal power.

It is recommended to wear snow boots and walk on the wooden boardwalk of Noboribetsu Jigokudani (Hell Valley). With every step, heat rises from underground and merges with the snow, creating Hokkaido's unique "geothermal snowfield."
If you've ever dreamed of life on a Nordic snowy pasture, Lake Hill Farm is what that reality looks like. We recommend stopping at Lake Hill Farm, having a cup of hot milk, and experiencing the gentle and rustic charm of the farm.

In winter, Lake Toya is like a still crystal lake, breathtakingly beautiful against the backdrop of white snow.

Located at the foot of an active volcano, Showa-shinzan Bear Park is one of Hokkaido's most popular animal interaction sanctuaries. For families traveling with children, Showa-shinzan Bear Park is one of the most anticipated stops on their journey.

Great tour although very limited time at every stop. I booked a different tour at a different day also with the same operator but the tour guide for this tour Mr Hong was a lot more informative and friendlier than the other guide assigned to us on a different tour. Although he did say he's still new to his job, Mr Hong was very professional and nice which i appreciated.

Review for: 【早鳥特惠】洞爺湖+昭和新山熊牧場+登別地獄谷+Lake Hill Farm

Huang Lei (Director Huang) meticulously introduced the features of the attractions throughout the trip. While the tour bus was traveling, he also introduced famous Sapporo attractions, night views, and cuisine, which was really great! Because the day trip itinerary was a bit long, he still tried his best to provide ample free time, allowing those of us who came from afar to enjoy a wonderful day trip!

A fantastic experience, especially the snowmobile ride, which is a must-try! The thrill of speeding around, the experience lasts about 45-50 minutes. Helmets and gloves are provided by the shop. Highly recommend trying it out, even if you've never ridden before.

The waether was very cold. Our tour guide Hong is very friendly and accommodating. We were able to see all the sights. It was such a pity that it was too fast-paced so we couldnt fully enjoy the place but otherwise Im happy I get to see the brown bears and the Lake

Snowmobiling is a great experience, you can see mountains, lakes and the sea at the same time. It's so beautiful to check in during winter! The guide is Xiao Zhou, a very nice person, very good at explaining, and also helped us take photos, which is great! The journey is quite far from Sapporo City, highly recommended for independent travelers.
