  3. Lake Toya
    Lake Toya is the third-largest caldera lake in Japan. The view from the lakeside is breathtaking, and you can also see Mount Yotei, often referred to as the "Mount Fuji of Hokkaido."

  4. Mount Showa Shinzan
    Formed by volcanic activity in 1943, Mount Showa Shinzan rose suddenly from what was once a flat wheat field. This natural wonder is designated as a "Special Natural Monument" and is part of the Lake Toya-Usu UNESCO Global Geopark.
  5. Showa Shinzan Bear Ranch
    Home to around 70 brown bears of various ages, the ranch allows visitors to observe bears playing and relaxing up close. For an even closer experience, the "Human Cage" offers a unique perspective through glass.
  6. Silo Observatory
    This observatory offers panoramic views of Lake Toya, Mount Usu, and Mount Showa Shinzan. It is one of the "Eight Scenic Views of Lake Toya" and a popular photography spot year-round.
  7. Mount Usu Ropeway
    Mount Usu, an active volcano that erupted four times in the 20th century, offers panoramic views of Lake Toya, Mount Showa Shinzan, the Pacific Ocean, and its craters. The ropeway provides exclusive views of Mount Showa Shinzan, which is otherwise off-limits.
  8. Noboribetsu Jigokudani (Hell Valley)
    The largest hot spring source in Noboribetsu, Hell Valley features a 450-meter-wide crater with 15 geothermal vents. It produces 3,000 liters of hot water per minute, creating a dramatic, bubbling landscape.
  9. Noboribetsu Oyunuma
    A 20-minute walk from Hell Valley, this explosion crater formed during Mount Hiyoriyama's eruption. Its boiling waters resemble a "hell cauldron," making it a rare and scientifically valuable site.

I used this service for a family trip. When I communicated the places I wanted to visit in advance, they thoughtfully considered the travel time and planned accordingly. On the day of the trip, they even took us to good spots along the way and suggested new sightseeing locations when it seemed we had some extra time. We enjoyed a fun day filled with informative and interesting stories about Hokkaido while in the car. My parents seemed to have a great time as well.

行きたいところを事前にお伝えすると、丁寧に所要時間やプランを考えていただきました。
また当日は行く道中に良いスポットがあると立ち寄っていただけましたし、少し時間が余りそうだと新たな観光場所をご提案いただけました。
車内でも北海道に関する為になるお話、面白いお話で楽しい1日を過ごすことができました。
両親も満喫できたようです。
また次に観光するときには、観光案内をお願いしたいです!
