Noboribetsu and Lake Toya Day Tour - Departing from Sapporo (English / Chinese Guide)

The tour was very punctual and followed the schedule perfectly. Our guide was lovely and very helpful, assisting with photos and providing excellent tourist information. The itinerary might have been a bit packed, which meant we had less time at each stop. We used a large, comfortable bus with overhead storage, and the roadside views were beautiful.

The trip was very smooth and we really liked our guide Tom. he was very nice and accommodating and can speak 3 languages (chinese, english, japanese). the lunch spot he recommended to us in lake Toya was absolutely delicious as well! Enjoyed the trip overall but I do wish we had more time at each spot. though i understand there is limited time overall.

This day tour offered a good opportunity to experience the dramatic volcanic landscapes of Hokkaido. The highlight was Noboribetsu Jigokudani (Hell Valley), where steaming vents and rugged terrain clearly show the powerful geothermal forces beneath the region. Walking through the area provided a close look at the natural volcanic formations that shape this part of Hokkaido. The stop at Lake Toya was also very enjoyable. The calm lake surrounded by mountains created a peaceful contrast to the volcanic scenery earlier in the day, and the views across the water were beautiful. One stop included the bear park, which may be interesting for some visitors. However, it would be better if the bears could be observed and monitored by bear experts in a more open and natural environment rather than within enclosures. Special thanks to our guide Andy, who kept the tour well organised. Overall, the tour provided a clear introduction to the natural volcanic landscape of Hokkaido and was.

10/10 tour experience with Oscar the guide! This was one of the highlights of my Hokkaido trip and I had a lot of fun and really enjoyed the spots on the itinerary. The guide, Oscar, was incredible and really passionate about sharing animal facts, the history of the spots, etc., recommended food and even skin products! He was very funny and my group and I had a very enjoyable experience. Oscar was very cognizant about time which was greatly appreciated. He even had pictures of your spots and food recommendations. The bus itself was spacious and clean as well and a very smooth ride despite the snow. The spots on the tour were fun and we were able to see so many spots in a single day. This is a very reasonable price as well and you get a lot out of it if you are tight on time. Thank you again for a great trip!

This day trip is quite fulfilling, allowing you to easily explore Noboribetsu and Lake Toya without driving. Our guide, Ms. Onodera, was friendly and funny, providing thorough introductions to the history of each attraction, as well as Hokkaido's unique food, entertainment, and recommendations. The meeting point was clear, the weather was great, and the scenery was absolutely beautiful. There was plenty of time at each stop to take pictures. Lunch was a simple meal purchased at a convenience store, which we enjoyed while sitting by Lake Toya and taking in the scenery. At Cape Earth, the clear weather allowed us to see Hakodate in the distance, giving us the feeling that the Earth is round. If you didn't purchase a bear park ticket in advance, you can buy one from the guide upon arrival or take a walk around Showa Shinzan outside the park. Along the mountain roads, we were pleasantly surprised to occasionally see wild deer by the roadside. At the Lake Toya observation deck's gift shop, you can buy yogurt drinks, balloon pudding, birch sap, and lavender-related products. You can also purchase medicinal horse oil at the bear park. I think this tour offers excellent value for the money.

a must go destination / tour if you’re visiting Hokkaido! lake shikotsu was my favourite part, the yamasen bridge was beautiful. we actually had tour guide lisa yang two days in a row for two different tours, and she was so lovely and helpful in both! she did her best to help us resolve a ticketing issue with klook which we really appreciated! she’s also very good at taking photos :) that said, I don’t recommend purchasing tickets to see the bear ranch as it’s quite small and it’s a bit unsettling to see the bears locked up :( other than that, everything else in this tour was absolutely amazing 💕 thank you lisa!

Our guide, Alex, was great and helped to take photos of many of us. He also shared bits and pieces of information about the attractions we went to in English and Chinese. The timings allocated for each attraction was also just nice. For those without transport, this was worth the money.

Booked tours with Onodera-san as our guide twice in a row, so lucky!!!! The experience with the day tour was really great, saved a lot of effort and trouble! Learned about the different cultures and history of Hokkaido in the guide's gentle voice, and went to many beautiful places, seeing the real northern scenery. It was a real shock to us three kids from a city with no snow! Hokkaido is a very charming place, thank you Onodera-san for your attentive care, it really felt like being taken care of very well by a distant relative in a foreign country 🥹. I hope that when I come to Sapporo again, I can meet Easygo and Onodera-san again!

Thanks to our tour guide Emma's enthusiasm and detailed explanations, our family's Hokkaido trip was made even more wonderful. Today's weather was very sunny, so the scenery at every attraction was beautiful. The food Emma recommended was delicious, and the bus was very spacious and comfortable to ride. Highly recommended!

My family and I really enjoyed Oscar's tour! He was very insightful about a variety of all things Japan. He made sure that everything was smooth and engaging. He was so engaging, in fact, that even when he was speaking in a language I could not speak, I was listening. The tour itself was very captivating. My family and I loved the smooth travel and the views. The scheduling was also just right for each attraction. Overall, we would rate the tour a perfect 10/10! (The bear farm was our favorite!)
