Continue reading →]]> An audio guide in English, Chinese, and Korean is available on your smartphone! Set off through the crisp winter air to discover two lakes of mysterious beauty!
　
Our first stop, Lake Shikotsu, has some of the clearest water in Japan. Gaze across its pristine surface and watch the reflected light shimmer. At the nearby Lake Shikotsu Visitor Center, you can learn about the volcanic forces that shaped the lake, the plants and animals that live around it, and much more.
　
After taking in Lake Shikotsu, we continue toward Lake Toya, stopping along the way at Kinoko Okoku’s Otaki Main Store for a break and some shopping. Choose from more than 2,000 souvenirs, including the mushroom specialties that give this shop its name, which means “Mushroom Kingdom”!
　
Lake Toya is a caldera lake formed by a volcanic eruption around 100,000 years ago. Lunch is served at Toya Kohantei on the lakeshore.* Enjoy Hokkaido’s rich culinary bounty in a set meal featuring plenty of locally sourced seafood, vegetables, pork, and more.
*On certain dates, lunch is at your own expense, with approximately 60 minutes at Kinoko Okoku for dining and a break.
　
After lunch, we head to Mt. Usu, part of one of Japan’s first Global Geoparks, areas recognized for their geological heritage. Ride the Usuzan Ropeway through the air, then admire the spectacular scenery from the terrace at the top. You can also choose to visit Showa Shinzan Bear Ranch at an additional charge. Watch the brown bears playing and relaxing, or try feeding them!
　
This tour offers a chance to experience the rugged, magnificent beauty of Hokkaido’s winter landscape. Set out across this vast island in a comfortable bus, with the driving in expert hands!

Continue reading →]]> When Hokkaido’s long winter arrives, the landscape turns into a world of silver-white snow. Just before that season begins, set out on a late-autumn journey to some of the best sights in the Toya and Noboribetsu area. Feel the end of the green season and the coming of winter in the crisp air.
　
After departing Sapporo Station, the first stop is the roadside station Boyo Nakayama, located at the top of Nakayama Pass. It is also a scenic viewpoint with views of Mt. Yotei. Its local specialty is ageimo, deep-fried potato balls that sell around 300,000 servings a year and have remained a bestseller for more than 50 years.
　
Next, visit Silo Observatory at Lake Toya. Here, enjoy lunch and a sweeping panoramic view of Lake Toya from above. Lunch features Kitano Kaisen Nabe, a hearty hot pot filled with seafood. The special miso soup is rich with the flavor of the seafood, and can be enjoyed to the very last drop with udon noodles added at the end.
　
After lunch, take an aerial ride on the Usuzan Ropeway and enjoy the magnificent scenery shaped by nature from the mountaintop terrace and walking trails. You may also visit Showa-Shinzan Bear Ranch as an optional activity. Watch the bears playing and relaxing, or try feeding them yourself.
　
The final highlight of this course is Noboribetsu Jigokudani Valley. This massive explosion crater was formed by volcanic activity, and the sight of volcanic gas and steam rising from the rugged rock surface truly lives up to its name, “Hell Valley.” A wide variety of hot spring waters that make up the Noboribetsu Onsen area gush from this site, totaling 10,000 tons per day. Walk through the sulfur-scented valley and experience the power of the earth with all five senses.
　
Hokkaido’s autumn, tucked between its long summer and winter, passes in the blink of an eye. Yet this season offers many sights found only at this time of year, from autumn foliage and clear skies to trees shedding more leaves with each passing day. Set out on a bus journey and enjoy the atmosphere of late autumn.
