Things to do in Noboribetsu Jigokudani Valley

It was a trip where I truly experienced the magnificent nature of Hokkaido! Our guide, Hikaru, provided detailed explanations and even shared some funny jokes, making sure there was never a dull moment. Thank you for making this such an enjoyable trip!

it’s a beautiful tour, don’t get me wrong. but have clear expectations to what you’re going to see, if you have travelled Japan, there will be nothing new for you to see. I wouldn’t put this as top of my list for visiting Sapporo. Tour guide was great and I have no complaints about organization or tour company.

We had a wonderful day trip exploring Noboribetsu Hell Valley, Lake Toya, Mount Usu, and the Bear Ranch. A huge shoutout to our guide, Lucy, who was so informative and went out of her way to help us get some wonderful photos. The sights were a real highlight and made for a fantastic day out. The only minor drawback was the transport, as the bus felt a bit cramped for a long-distance journey. Making the seating a bit more spacious would make the ride much more comfortable, but overall it was a really memorable experience thanks to Lucy and the amazing itinerary!

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!

I took the trip with hide cai. I liked the pace and the sites were what I wanted to see. The tour guide spoke English well and was able to provide valuable information about the sites that we visited. The weather also cooperated today and we did not encounter any rain.

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.

We had a great time in our private tour with our driver 维钢. His van was comfy and clean. The rate we paid was higher compared to other operators but it was a last minute booking and glad there was still available van and driver to cater us. Thank you. Keep up the great service.

I brought my friends along, and we all had a great time. The drive wasn't short, but the multiple stops for rest and breaks made it manageable. For some attractions, we had the option to purchase tickets to enter, and there was no pressure to do so. The driver was very kind and always gave us timely reminders for meeting times.

Catherine was an amazing guide for our full-day Hokkaido tour. We started at Noboribetsu Hell Valley, an incredible up-close look at the Earth's geothermal activity, then Cape Chikyu for a stunning 270-degree panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean, followed by a wonderful scallop set lunch with steamed kamameshi. We continued to Usuzan Ropeway for panoramic views of Lake Toya and the volcano, Showa Shinzan to see the volcano up close, and bear feeding at the Bear Ranch. We wrapped up at Lake Toya Observation Deck, a beautiful spot overlooking the volcanic hot spring lake. I joined this tour solo, and our group was small, just 6 of us total, making it a really personal experience. Catherine's enthusiasm and knowledge stood out at every stop, and she's multilingual too, fluent in English, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Japanese. Special thanks also to our driver, Iwabuji-san, for driving us safely all day. Highly recommend this tour if you get Catherine and Iwabuji-san!
