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.
Although it was pouring rain at our first stop, Lake Shikotsu, our tour guide Ella still carried out her responsibilities diligently. Even though her umbrella was almost blown inside out by the wind, she insisted on standing at a fixed spot to help us take photos, and her professional dedication is truly commendable. Later on, the weather gradually cleared up. From the Silo Observatory, we could see Lake Toya, Nakajima Island, and the surrounding mountain scenery all at once—it was a very beautiful view. The yogurt sold at the nearby souvenir shop was rich, unique, and quite delicious.
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.
