What to Expect
Start the day with a stop at Lake Shikotsu, one of Hokkaido’s famous clearwater lakes. Depending on the season, the changing views are beautiful but ever-changing.
Next head to Silo View Spot and take in the panoramic views of Lake Toya, followed by a stop for ice cream and coffee at the beautiful Lake Hill Farm. This ice cream is some of the best we’ve ever tasted! Next, we’ll drive through Toya itself for a walk along the lakeside.
Finally, move onto Mount Usu and Showa Mountain, an active volcano with a ropeway to the top, surrounded by a mini-village of local crafts and stores. First we’ll grab lunch together here, before taking the ropeway up the mountain and enjoying the short walk at the top to see the lake and ocean views. It’s one of our favourite local spots!

This is a great trip. I was picked up by Sam our amazing guide and as there was only 4 of us it felt like a personal tour. Have used Viator before and their trips are always well structured and informative.
Ruby was knowledgeable about the destinations and did her best to talk to everybody in the group so that no one would feel isolated.
As the tour was only the both of us (rather than a big group), our guide Sam offered to pick us up from our hotel, rather than the usual pick up point at Sapporo station. Sam was friendly and warm by making sure that we were entertained and provided us with many recommendations on different places to go after. Very good experience in this tour. Would defitnally recommend this tour to anyone.
