▲ [Lake Tōya] In winter, Lake Tōya resembles a crystal-clear fairyland, with the snow-capped Mount Yōtei reflected in its azure waters. Steam rises along the lakeshore, mingling beautifully with frost-covered trees. Stroll along the lakeside to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of the hot spring town, or take a snowmobile ride to experience the dynamic beauty of Hokkaido's unfrozen lake. Visit the Famous Water Park and the Lake Tōya observation deck before the snow arrives in late November, and head to the observation deck after snowfall (where you can enjoy a snowmobile ride at your own expense during winter).

▲ [Showa Shinzan Bear Ranch] Step into Showa Shinzan Bear Ranch and interact with Hokkaido brown bears through viewing windows. Watch adorable bear cubs beg for food with their paws clasped, and admire the slowly growing active volcano from the observation deck, experiencing the wondrous coexistence of life and geological transformation.


▲ [Noboribetsu Jigokudani Valley] Stepping into the mist-shrouded Noboribetsu Jigokudani Valley feels like entering another world. Emerald-colored mineral veins crystallize on sulfurous rock walls, while statues of weeping demons stand silently beside bubbling hot springs. As you venture deeper along the trail, the earth's steaming breath and desolate landscapes will leave you awestruck.
