★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 28 reviews · from $120

Review of a full-day Hokkaido tour from Sapporo to Noboribetsu, Lake Toya, Showa Shinzan, and Otaru, with practical advice on value and pacing.

“I'm shocked that given the price of this tour for myself and a family member, it felt more like we paid to be shuffled between places than given an actual tour and introduction to the Hokkaido region. The bulk of this tour takes place in a cramped van bus where if you're lucky you're not cramped over a wheel well for hours between destinations. The bus was not ventilated well and the air was stuffy. Our tour group had at least 20 people that were jigsawed into the bus, and the bus could accommodate more individuals but it would be very uncomfortable. Additionally, when our tour guide (Sophia) spoke to…”

Snowshoe through Noboribetsu’s powder snow and snow monsters with guide Aidan, enjoying ridge views of Mt. Yotei and Lake Toya.

“I cannot recommend this tour enough! The entire experience was truly magical. The weather was absolutely perfect, making the snowshoe trek even more enjoyable. Our guide was beyond amazing – not only was he knowledgeable and friendly, but he went above and beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable time. He surprised us with delicious homemade cookies and a sourdough bread sandwich lovingly made by his wife, which added such a personal touch. The vibe throughout the tour was fantastic, and it felt more like an adventure with a friend than a guide. As if that wasn’t enough, he took professional-quality photos of us along the way, capturing memories we’ll…”

“The tour does a good job at seeing various sites in the Noboribetsu and Toya area. As is expected in these tours, one only gets to see each site for a 30 to 1.5 hour period. Our guide Akiko was very helpful and informative - she was a great guide. Our driver Hashimoto was very careful and skilled given the varied road conditions in winter.”

★★★★★★★★★★2.5 · 3 reviews · from $85

Review of the $85 Hokkaido day tour from Sapporo to Hell Valley, Showa Shinzan, Lake Toya, bear ranch, and seasonal Otaru.

“I really wanted to like this tour, but it was a huge let down. Most of the people on the tour were Chinese. There was only one other english speaker so 99% of the tour was talked in Chinese. There wasn't anything said about any of the sights we saw on our tour in English. It was terrible that it was a whole day trip because it felt like that day was lost for no reason.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 3 reviews · from $95

See Noboribetsu’s steaming Hell Valley, Lake Toya, Showa Shinzan, brown bears, and Otaru’s canals on a 10-hour Hokkaido day trip.

“Was a great experience, a lot of time on the bus, but even that is enjoyable seeing Hokkaido go by. The time allotted at various stops could definitely be improved, i.e. more time in hell valley. Probably less in Otaru (since half the people ended the tour there anyway to either stay longer or take the train back to Sapporo). Definitely far less time at the depressing bear park (beautiful bears, sad conditions). It was also unclear where to get food during the lunch break - found a restaurant eventually but felt uncomfortable ordering when the bus might depart before the food comes, you know? Maybe I was just overly…”
