2-Day Tour: Lake Toya, Lake Onuma & Noboribetsu
Make the most of your trip to Hokkaido on a 2 Day Tour with HNT! After pick-up from your hotel in Sapporo, we’ll drive over the mountains to the Mt. Yotei region, for local products shopping, a freshwater spring and the great lookout of Lake Toya from Silo Observatory. After lunch, we’ll ride the Mt. Usu-zan ropeway, take a short crater rim walk and learn about the important history of this volcano. On our way further down south, we can also visit a famous gelato spot called Lake Hill Farm. The overnight stay for this trip is truly remarkable: a traditional ryokan with private onsens linked by walking trails on the property! Take a private hot springs bath, or two!! Dinner will be in the kaiseki style, with breakfast also included.
Day 2 will start with the islets walk at Lake Onuma, a small lake dotted by hundreds of islets connected by walking bridges. For lunch, we’ll head to Shikabe seaside town for a memorable hot springs steamer lunch. After lunch, we’ll check out a kelp factory before driving north for 2.5 hours to Noboribetsu Onsen’s remarkable geological sightseeing, including Hell Valley, a hot spring lake, stream, waterfall & foot bath. To end the day, the onsen at Dai-Ichi Takimotokan Hotel is otherworldly, with 32 baths each for men & women, and a mixed swimming pool as well. From here it’s a further 2 hours back to Sapporo to end this memorable 2-day HNT tour.
Highlights of the Tour:
✔ Tour guided by an English-speaking nature guide with private transportation
✔ Top sightseeing in central & southern Hokkaido including Lake Toya, Mt. Yotei region, Kyogoku Freshwater Springs, Lake Onuma & Noboribetsu’s Hell Valley
