The weather was sunny today, so we saw the beautiful Lake Toya, and also admired Showa Shinzan and the magnificent Noboribetsu Hell Valley. Our guide, Mr. Huang, managed the time very well, and his Mandarin and English guided explanations were very clear. I highly recommend this trip.

The tour guide introduces each attraction in both Mandarin and English, ensuring that all passengers on the bus understand the information about the attractions. The tour guide also helps to purchase group tickets, allowing tour members to enter the attractions after only a short wait, without having to queue up individually to buy tickets. The pick-up and drop-off and the duration of stay at each attraction are also very punctual, which is probably due to experience. The tour members are also very cooperative, and finally, we were able to return to the drop-off point on time. A very fulfilling day.

This itinerary is perfect for people who like to sleep in and go out later, but it gets dark too quickly in the winter, so the view from the observation deck isn't great. Overall, the experience is still good.
