Hokkaido Classic Day Trip: Noboribetsu, Lake Toya and Otaru
Embark on a fulfilling day trip from Sapporo to discover the diverse landscapes and rich culture of Hokkaido. This adventure guides you through three distinct and memorable locations, offering a perfect blend of geothermal spectacle, serene natural beauty, and historic charm.
Your journey begins in Noboribetsu, home to the dramatic Jigokudani (Hell Valley). Here, you'll witness the raw power of nature as you walk trails surrounded by billowing sulfurous steam—a truly unforgettable geothermal landscape. A unique highlight of this stop is the opportunity to relax your feet in the natural, open-air foot bath near Oyunuma Pond, soaking in the healing comfort of a genuine hot spring.
Next, we travel to the stunning Lake Toya, a caldera lake offering breathtaking vistas. From the Lake Toya Observation Deck, you’ll gaze upon crystal-clear waters framed by majestic mountains. This area also provides a glimpse into regional wildlife and geology, featuring Showa Shinzan and the chance to safely observe the fascinating behavior of bears up close at the Bear Ranch.
The final destination is the beautifully preserved town of Otaru. Walk along the historic and romantic Otaru Canal, admiring the gaslight-era architecture reflecting on the water. Otaru is famous for its unique atmosphere and local delicacies—make sure to taste the renowned LETAO cheesecake before we return to Sapporo, having collected wonderful memories of Hokkaido's natural wonders and cultural heart.
