Activity itinerary

Jigokudani

  • 35m
Noboribetsu Hell Valley We begin with a visit to Noboribetsu Hell Valley, a dramatic volcanic crater created by geothermal activity. The sight of steam rising from the ground and the strong scent of sulphur creates an almost otherworldly atmosphere. Enjoy walking along well-maintained trails and get a close-up view of the powerful geothermal forces that shaped this unique landscape.

Cape Chikyu

  • 25m
Cape Chikyu (Earth Cape) Next, we head to Cape Chikyu, a scenic cliffside point offering a panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean. The name “Chikyu” comes from the Ainu word for “cliff.” Perched 131 metres above sea level, the white lighthouse here emits light visible up to 44 km away. The area is also a natural habitat for birds like peregrine falcons and is on the migratory route for many species. It was voted the No. 1 natural scenic spot in Hokkaido in a poll by the Asahi Shimbun.

Silo Viewing Platform

  • 30m
Sairo Observatory (Scenic Stopover) Located on the western edge of Lake Toya, the Sairo Observatory offers one of the best panoramic views in the area. From this vantage point, you can take in the full beauty of Lake Toya, Nakajima Island, Mt. Usu, and even the striking Showa Shinzan. It’s a perfect spot to pause, breathe in the fresh air, and capture stunning photos of Hokkaido’s natural scenery.

Mt. Usu

  • 1h 40m
  • Admission ticket not included
(Cable car fee not included) Mount Usu is an active volcano located on the shores of Lake Toya in Hokkaido, Japan, and is an important part of Shikotsu-Toya National Park. Standing at about 733 metres above sea level, it may not be extremely tall, but it is well known for its frequent volcanic activity and rich geological features. Since the 17th century, Mount Usu has erupted many times. The most recent eruption occurred in 2000, leaving behind clearly visible volcanic remains. Today, the area has become a natural classroom for studying volcanic landscapes and geological formations.

Lake Shikotsu

  • 35m
Lake Shikotsu Our final stop is the stunning Lake Shikotsu, located in western Chitose and part of the Shikotsu-Toya National Park. With an average depth of 265 metres and a maximum depth comparable to the height of Tokyo Tower, it is Japan’s second-deepest lake and the northernmost lake that never freezes, even in winter. In summer, it becomes a habitat for migratory birds and a hotspot for birdwatchers. In autumn, the area is blanketed in vibrant foliage, and the sunsets over the lake are breathtaking — a must-see for photography lovers. This tour is perfect for travellers looking to make the most of their time in Hokkaido, combining nature, culture, and unforgettable views into a single, fulfilling day trip. Come and experience the diverse charm of Hokkaido with us.
