Embark on a comprehensive Hokkaido tour starting from Sapporo, traversing through breathtaking landscapes and unique attractions. Your journey begins at the Noboribetsu Hell Valley, a testament to geological history dating back approximately 10,000 years. Here, witness the mesmerizing spectacle of Jigokudani, commonly referred to as Hell Valley, where you'll find boiling sulfuric hot springs and volcanic steam plumes.

Delve deeper into the beauty of Oyaruno, experiencing the enchantment of its charming canal, renowned glass arts, and vibrant winter festival.

Transition to the Lake Toyako area within Shikotsu Toya National Park, home to a vast volcanic caldera lake. Enjoy two hours of free time for lunch and leisurely activities. Proceed to Showa Shinzan, an active volcano that experienced eruptions during the Showa period (early 20th century), though entry is restricted. Instead, immerse yourself in the energetic atmosphere by observing the stark red hues of the mountain range.

Further inland, reach Lake Touyako Observatory, providing expansive views of the extensive volcanic landscape and nearby peaks like Mt. Usu, Mt. Yotei, Mt. Showa, and Nakajima Island. Continue your exploration to Otaru, a picturesque coastal town characterized by its historic canals and traditional architecture. Discover the captivating ambiance of Otaru through a stroll along the ancient canal streets, adorned with brick and tile buildings from the Meiji era.

Visitors may explore the Kitaichi Glass Workshop to marvel at the exquisite glass arts and crafts produced in this region. Alternatively, explore the Otaru Music Box Museum, one of Japan's largest collections of music boxes featuring items from various parts of the globe. For dessert enthusiasts, indulge in Hokkaido's signature delicacy, cheesecake, at the LeTAO Head Store.

In the wintertime, experience the enchantment of the Otaru Snow Light Path Festival, where dazzling lights illuminate the city, accompanied by melting snow statues. This event typically lasts until late February, showcasing a variety of artistic installations. Additionally, local residents often showcase elaborate lantern displays, enhancing the festive atmosphere.

As the sun sets on another memorable day in Hokkaido, return to Sapporo, marking the end of your tour.
