Hakodate, Lake Toya, Noboribetsu | 2-Day Hokkaido Popular Attractions Tour (Bilingual Guided Tour / Accommodation Not Included)
A superior experience that is more valuable than taking the JR train:
Traditionally, taking the JR train between Sapporo and Hakodate is expensive, and all you see along the way is monotonous railway scenery. Our itinerary, however, offers a much more affordable option, taking you directly to places "not directly accessible by JR": Lake Toya, Showa Shinzan, and Noboribetsu Jigokudani! Avoid the fatigue of carrying luggage and transferring trains; the experience and value far surpass JR-only travel! In two days, we'll travel south, traversing the natural and urban essence of Hokkaido: lakes, volcanoes, night views, ports, seafood… not just a superficial glance, but a step-by-step exploration of Hokkaido.

Departing from Sapporo in the early morning, embark on a classic journey through the north and south of Hokkaido.

【Showa Shinzan】
Then we went here to observe the real life of Hokkaido brown bears up close. The adorable yet powerful bears added a touch of fun and awe to the journey.
Goryokaku Park
Continuing south, we arrived in Hakodate city and visited Japan's only star-shaped Western-style castle. Viewed from above, the five-pointed star outline is visually striking, a perfect blend of history and architectural art.

Climb up here at dusk to admire the dazzling night view, hailed as one of the "world's three best night views"—the lights on both sides of the harbor stretch out like a cascading silver river, making it the most romantic moment in Hokkaido.
