Tour guide Mr Pan was great - enthusiastic and provided lots of tips and information. The bus was large even though the number of customers (very important!) did not max out the seating, and was comfortable. Driver drove safely. Lunch is self paid with limited options near the bear zoo. Would recommends for those who don’t want to deal with self driving.

The scenery was pretty good when we took the cable car on Mount Usu. After we got on the cable car, we had a panoramic view of Lake Toya and Mount Showa. When we walked to the side path, we could see the smoke of Takeyama. There are many stairs nearby, which is a good idea. Older people may want to pay attention to cardiopulmonary exercise. The sulfur smell of Noto Jigokudani is really heavy. Walking through it is really like hell and there is nothing. It is a very special geographical landscape.

There were only 6 members on this trip. Although there was no tour guide, our driver Mr. Takeda took good care of everyone professionally and carefully. During the journey, Mr. Takeda explained the characteristics of various places in Hokkaido in detail and helped us thoughtfully at various attractions. Photograph. There is plenty of time in the trip, and you can leisurely watch the Toya Lake Fireworks in the evening. This is a joyful trip.

The guide led us to many fun places, so we had a fun time. The curry and soba at the hot springs tasted unexpectedly good, and the weather was nice, so I took some clear pictures of Lake Toya. Highly recommended

Because the lavender in Furano has not yet bloomed, I temporarily booked a trip to Noboribetsu Hell Valley online the day before. The group of 20 people was given a large bus. The seats were very comfortable. The tour guide Pan was also very humorous. I could spend more time in Hell Valley. a little. Very satisfied with the whole trip experience.
