Description

Winter day tour from Sapporo: optional snowmobile, Lake Toya viewpoint and hot-spring town, Lake Shikotsu with its seasonal ice festival, and Mt Moiwa's city night view.
A full winter day around two of Hokkaido's best-known lakes, ending with a night city view. This is a shared coach tour from central Sapporo during the snow season.

Meeting point: 8:20 AM at the Information Center, 1st floor of Sapporo TV Tower. The coach leaves at 8:30 AM. Please wait for on-site staff and check in with your e-voucher or lead passenger's name. As this is a long day finishing late, please do not book dinner, other activities, or flights for the same evening.

Snowmobile experience (Optional)
Ride a snowmobile across an open snowfield. Staff give a short briefing, so first-timers are welcome. Not included in the tour price; paid on-site in cash. Subject to snow conditions and park opening. If unavailable, the tour instead visits Noboribetsu Jigokudani (Hell Valley) for about 40 minutes.

Lake Toya & Hot-Spring Town
From the free Silo Observatory, view the caldera lake, Nakajima Island, Mt. Usu, and Showa Shinzan. Then enjoy free time in the Toyako onsen town for lunch (at your own cost). You can use the free lakeside foot bath or explore the snack and souvenir shops.

Lake Shikotsu & Ice Festival
Walk along the winter lakeshore of one of Japan's clearest lakes. During the Ice Festival (Jan 30 – Feb 23, 2027), see ice sculptures lit in color from 4:30 PM. Entry is optional and paid at the gate: 1,000 yen on weekdays, 3,000 yen on weekends/holidays; free for elementary age and under.

Mt. Moiwa Night View

Moiwa Ropeway Package"; Ropeway closed Dec 31 – Jan 1, and Mar 29 – Apr 28, 2027. On these dates (or during bad weather), the night view will be seen from JR Tower T38 instead.
