I had an absolutely fantastic experience on our Hokkaido day tour with Jenny! From start to finish, everything was organized seamlessly.
Jenny was extremely friendly, attentive, and kept us on schedule while ensuring everyone had plenty of time to enjoy each stop. Her clear instructions regarding pick-up points and timing made the whole day stress-free.
If you're booking a day tour to explore in Hokkaido, I highly recommend Jenny as your guide! Thank you for a memorable day! 😊

We would like to compliment our tour guide, Mr Lim, who is Taiwanese-born and currently based in Sapporo. He is fluent in Japanese, Mandarin and English, which made communication with all passengers smooth and easy.
Mr Lim was very professional, friendly and well-organised throughout the tour. He managed the schedule efficiently and consistently reminded everyone to be punctual and return to the coach on time after each sightseeing stop. This helped ensure that the tour proceeded smoothly without unnecessary delays.
The overall itinerary and timing were just right, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful scenery at Lake Toya, explore the fascinating Hell Valley (Jigokudani) and conclude the day with some shopping at Mitsui Outlet Park.
We truly appreciated his excellent coordination, clear communication and attentive arrangements. Thank you, Mr Lim, for making our sightseeing experience enjoyable, comfortable and hassle-free. Keep up the great work!

We got a driver not a guide. All he did was pick us up from pick up points, drop us at each destinations and make sure we come back on time! Tour program was ok. We just made the most of what we can experience from the places we visited. They were stunning!

I recently participated in the Hokkaido day tour provided by YH International Travel (visiting Noboribetsu Jigokudani, Cape Chikyu, Silo Observation Deck, Mount Usu and Showa Shinzan, Bear Ranch, and Lake Shikotsu), and the overall experience was extremely satisfying! I especially want to praise our tour leader, Xiao Weng (a Taiwanese who married in Japan), who is an exceptionally patient, gentle, and considerate guide. In addition to providing professional trilingual commentary in Chinese, English, and Japanese, she was also very thoughtful in arranging seating on the bus. At every attraction, she would lead everyone to the designated spot, clearly explaining the route, restroom locations, and recommended foods, and even proactively helped everyone take photos. She has a deep and acute perception of travelers' needs. Although I was a bit worried when I saw a 60% chance of rain before departure, fortune smiled upon us and the day turned out to be clear and cloudless! Not only did we witness the magnificent Jigokudani and the vast, stunning curved horizon of Cape Chikyu with our own eyes, but we also got to taste the rich Lake Shikotsu soft-serve ice cream. The only slight pity was that due to the high latitude, the sun set very quickly; the surrounding roads on the return trip were a bit dark, making it impossible to see the scenery along the way and the occasionally passing wild deer, so we just took the opportunity to rest and catch up on sleep on the bus. The pace of this itinerary was well arranged, plus the fellow passengers on the bus were all punctual, and the tour leader took such careful care of everyone. I highly recommend this trip and tour leader Xiao Weng!

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.

The trip was packed with attractions and shout out to our guide, Jenny, cus she’s amazing. She’s fun, informative, and honest about what’s worth doing and buying. It wouldn’t be as fun without her. This is an easy way to see a lot of things in one day and good for solo travelers. Also, get the ice cream at Farm Hill. It’s so good.

I had a wonderful tour experience! Everything was well organized, enjoyable, and exceeded our expectations.
A special thanks to Mr. Kevin for being such an excellent and accommodating tour guide. He was friendly, attentive, and always made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the trip. One thing I especially appreciated was how he took beautiful photos for each of us at every location, helping us capture unforgettable memories from the tour.
His professionalism, patience, and dedication truly made the experience even more special. We highly recommend this tour, and we are grateful to Mr. Kevin for making it such a memorable journey. Thank you!

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!

What to know about Lake Toya
Located in Shikotsu-Toya National Park, Lake Toya is a stunning caldera lake in Hokkaido, Japan, formed by ancient volcanic activity. It’s famous for its clear, ice-free waters even in winter, and the majestic Mount Usu, an active volcano that last erupted in 2000.
When you visit, you can relax in Toyako Onsen, explore the lakeside trails, or take a sightseeing cruise to Nakajima Island at the lake’s center. There are also tons of opportunities for fishing, camping, and even attending a fireworks festival that lasts over 180 days.
Plan your trip now and book your Lake Toya activities, hotels, and tours for an exciting getaway in Hokkaido.
Lake Tōya, Hokkaido, Japan
Things to do in Lake Toya
Cruise Around the Lake
Hop aboard a sightseeing cruise from the Toyako Onsen pier to explore the serene waters of Lake Toya and its central Nakajima Islands. You'll enjoy incredible views of Mount Usu and the surrounding Shikotsu-Toya National Park scenery.
Visit Mount Usu and Showa Shinzan
Take the Usuzan Ropeway for panoramic views of the lake and the volcano, Mount Usu. Nearby, you can also visit Showa Shinzan, a volcanic dome that rose from farmland in the 1940s---one of Japan's youngest volcanoes.
Relax at Toyako Onsen
The Toyako Onsen area offers numerous lakeside baths and ryokan (Japanese inns) with healing mineral waters. It's the perfect place to unwind, especially in the evening when the Toyako Fireworks Festival lights up the night sky.
Explore Silo Observatory
Located on the western side of the lake, the Silo Observatory provides a sweeping 360° view of Lake Toya, Mount Usu, and the Nakajima Islands. It's a must-visit photo stop and also a launch point for activities like paragliding and camping.
Hike or Cycle Around the Lake
The lake's perimeter trail stretches about 40 km, offering scenic hiking and cycling routes. You can rent a bike near the Toyako Onsen Bus Terminal and enjoy peaceful views of the lakeshore, especially during summer and early autumn.
Tips Before Visiting Lake Toya
Plan Around the Fireworks Season
Visit between late April and late October to experience the nightly Lake Toya Fireworks Festival, one of Japan's longest-running displays. Many hotels offer rooms with lake views so you can watch from your balcony.
Bring Layers and Comfortable Shoes
Weather in Hokkaido can change quickly, especially near the lake and mountain. Pack layers, and wear sturdy shoes for hiking, camping, or exploring volcanic trails.
Travel by Train and Bus for Easy Access
From Sapporo or New Chitose Airport, take the JR Limited Express to Toya Station, then a Donan Bus to Toyako Onsen. Buses are frequent and stop at most major hotels.
