Overview

This bus tour will take you into Hokkaido's most captivating seasonal tapestry, connecting volcanic wonders, hidden lake gems, and classic popular attractions, allowing you to take in the essence of the northern country's scenery all at once. No matter when you visit, you will encounter a distinctly different yet equally stunning beauty of Hokkaido. To make the journey even more seasonally charming, we have specially designed limited routes for spring, summer, autumn, and winter, making every trip feel like being in a landscape painting. [April - October | Spring, Summer, Autumn Limited Route] In the season of revival and vibrant colors, you will explore the stunning topography of Noboribetsu Hell Valley, gaze at the vast seascape from Cape Chikyu, experience the vitality of nature firsthand at Showa Shinzan Bear Ranch, and immerse yourself in the representative lake and mountain scenery of Hokkaido in the picturesque Lake Toya area. In addition, this tour thoughtfully offers two optional plans, allowing you to customize your journey: Plan A | Stroll through Toyako Onsen Street (approx. 75 minutes) Take a leisurely stroll along the lakeside hot spring street, feel the tranquil and healing lake scenery, freely arrange lunch or experience a foot bath, and enjoy your own slow time. Plan B | Mount Usu Summit Experience (approx. 100 minutes) Take a cable car to the active volcano Mount Usu, overlook Lake Toya and the surrounding magnificent topography from above, and experience the stunning beauty of the intertwining volcano and nature up close. No matter which option you choose, you can appreciate the unique charm of the Lake Toya area from different perspectives. [November - March of the following year | Winter Limited Route] Cross the snowy Nakayama Pass, with a chance to see Mount Yotei on clear days; head to the Silo Observation Deck to overlook winter Lake Toya, then visit Showa Shinzan, Noboribetsu Hell Valley, and finally go shopping at Mitsui Outlet Park. ★Winter A/B Choice A | Toyako Onsen Street approx. 70 minutes + Showa Shinzan approx. 40 minutes, with free time for lunch, lakeside strolls, or optional visit to the Bear Ranch. B | Mount Usu + Showa Shinzan total approx. 110 minutes, with optional cable car ride to the summit to enjoy Lake Toya and volcanic snow scenery. [February Limited | Lake Shikotsu Ice Festival Special Tour] Don't miss the winter-limited dream feast! During this period, the itinerary will be specially adjusted to visit the Lake Shikotsu Ice Festival, replacing the outlet shopping arrangement. The ice sculptures, condensed from natural lake water, are crystal clear under the lights, as if entering a kingdom of ice and snow, making it one of Hokkaido's most representative romantic winter experiences. Due to adjustments in itinerary content and order for different seasons, if you choose a pick-up location other than Sapporo, you may not be able to participate in all attractions.
