Activity itinerary

Lake Toya
  • 1h 20m
Behold a breathtaking panoramic vista of the frozen, snow-draped Lake Toya from this premier lookout. The serene white expanse is dramatically framed by the volcanic peaks of Mount Usu and Showa Shinzan, creating a picture-perfect winter postcard. For an adrenaline rush, seize the optional snowmobile ride (at your own expense) to zoom across the pristine snowy fields—an exhilarating way to immerse yourself in Hokkaido's stunning winter landscape.
Lake Hill Farm
  • 30m
Step into a scene from a snowy fairy tale at this charming hillside farm. The cosy wooden cabins and fences dusted with snow create an idyllic, welcoming atmosphere. This is the perfect pitstop to warm up with a rich, creamy hot chocolate or a cup of coffee, and don't miss the chance to try their renowned soft-serve ice cream—a deliciously cool contrast to the frosty air that showcases Hokkaido's legendary dairy goodness.
Showa Shinzan Bear Ranch
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
Set against the extraordinary backdrop of Showa Shinzan, a volcano that grew from flat land in the 20th century, this ranch offers a unique opportunity to observe Hokkaido's majestic brown bears in a snowy habitat. Watch them play, roam, and nap in the crisp winter air. The site also offers a chance to purchase lunch, allowing you to enjoy a warm meal while surrounded by this remarkable natural and geological wonder.
Noboribetsu
  • 40m
Witness the raw, powerful forces of the earth at Hokkaido's most famous geothermal spot. In winter, the contrast is spectacular: plumes of stark white steam hiss from vibrant ochre and yellow rocky vents, rising through a blanket of pure white snow. Follow the wooden footpaths to explore this surreal, otherworldly landscape, where the sulfurous scent and bubbling pools remind you of the planet's incredible energy lurking just beneath the surface.
