Customize your itinerary and take control of your journey: Dingshanxi offers three optional activities: rafting, hot springs, and hiking. You don't need to follow the crowd; you can flexibly arrange your activities according to your personal interests and physical condition, truly achieving a personalized and in-depth experience.
Thoughtful service for worry-free fun: Professional vehicles provide pick-up and drop-off throughout the trip, with shuttle service available at various points within the Josangye area; snow tubing is also provided free of charge at Shikotsu Lake, adding endless fun to playing in the snow by the lake, making it especially suitable for families.
Ample time, say goodbye to rushed check-ins: Sufficient time is allocated for each attraction, especially 3.5 hours in Joongsangye, allowing you to experience it at your own pace, without having to rush to catch the bus, and enjoy a leisurely vacation.

Itinerary:

1. Sapporo departure & Jozankei cruise (approx. 4.5 hours)

• Meet at Sapporo Station at 9:30 AM and depart.

• Arrive at the hot spring resort of Jozankei around 10:30 AM, where you will have 3.5 hours of free time. We offer three recommended itineraries, and the vehicle will assist you in reaching your preferred locations based on the chosen route:

Option A: First-time snow rafting experience (requires additional payment and advance booking for the 11:30 AM session)

Take a rubber boat and drift gently down the Fengping River. With a professional guide, you can admire the snow-capped trees, icefalls, and Futami Bridge on both banks. If you're lucky, you might even encounter some wild animals.

Option B: Day Trip to Relaxing Hot Springs (Hot spring fees at your own expense)

Choose any hot spring hotel you like and enjoy the ultimate romance of "Snow Viewing Hot Spring". After soaking away the chill, enjoy an authentic hot spring meal.

Option C: Snow hike in Futami Park

Choose a route that suits you from the various trails of different difficulty within the park, stroll through the tranquil forest and snowfield, and listen to the sounds of nature.

2. Shikotsu Lake Ice Festival (approx. 3 hours)

• Arrive at Lake Shikotsu, the northernmost unfrozen lake in Japan, at approximately 15:10.

First, stroll along the lakeside promenade to admire the reflections of the clear lake water and the snow-capped mountains during the day. We also provide free snow tubing for you to enjoy playing in the snow by the lake.

• Afterwards, you are free to arrange your own time to enjoy afternoon tea at the lakeside café.
