-Attraction Introduction-

【Toyohira Gorge】Toyohira Gorge is typically visited from June to October each year. Starting November 3rd, the route will be changed to Jozankei. Visitors will have approximately 100 minutes of free time to leisurely stroll through the onsen town, take photos, and enjoy a relaxing foot bath.

Toyohira Gorge is a magnificent natural landscape centered around the Toyohira Gorge Reservoir, interwoven with the Toyohira River and dense forests. Selected by the Japan Forestry Agency as one of the "100 Best Forests with Water Sources" and "100 Best Reservoir and Lake Views," it is one of the most outstanding natural scenic spots in Sapporo. The scenery is especially breathtaking during the autumn foliage season.

Dingshan Creek

Jozankei is a resort area rich in natural beauty, perfect for getting close to nature. The Toyohira River flows through the Jozankei Valley and is a famous spot for viewing autumn foliage. Its beautiful natural environment is renowned throughout Hokkaido. From the red suspension bridge over the Toyohira River, you can also admire the "Futami Rock" and the "Kappa Abyss," which is associated with the legend of the kappa.

Lake Toya

Lake Toya, though located in a cold zone, is a non-freezing lake, and its clear waters can be seen all year round. In spring, cherry blossoms bloom along the lake, fireworks are set off in the summer evenings, and in autumn, the forests are ablaze with color.

【Showa Shinzan】

Showa Shinzan is a volcano formed by eruptions between December 1943 and September 1945. A cable car ride from the foot of the mountain to the summit offers panoramic views of the crystal-clear Lake Toya and the vast Pacific Ocean. A gentle hiking trail leads to a spacious observation deck for stunning views of the crater lake.

• Usuyama Ropeway - Enjoy a magnificent panoramic view of Lake Toya.

The itinerary includes a special stop of approximately one hour at Showa Shinzan. Travelers can choose to take the Usuzan Ropeway (at their own expense) to the observation deck, which is over 700 meters above sea level, to overlook the entire Lake Toya and the Usu Crater. The magnificent scenery created by the intersection of volcano and lake is absolutely breathtaking!

* Cable car ride is optional and not included in the tour price.

【Yangti Mountain Famous Water Park】

Mt. Yotei is part of Shikotsu-Toya National Park and is one of Japan's 100 Famous Mountains. Rainwater or snowmelt flowing down from Mt. Yotei seeps into the ground and springs here, undergoing a natural filtration process to become sweet spring water.

• Red Leaf Season Reminder

The timing of the autumn foliage's color change varies slightly each year due to the influence of the climate. Based on past experience, the peak autumn foliage season in Fengping Gorge and Dingshan Creek is approximately from late September to late October. If you choose to travel during this period, you will have the opportunity to appreciate the magnificent transformation from lush green to fiery red. Whether it's the tranquility of early autumn or the mountains ablaze with vibrant red, both are captivating!
