Day Trips

From Sapporo: Lake Toya, Lake Shikotsu and Mt. Moiwa Day Trip

Pack Hokkaido's lakes, snowfields, and city lights into one full-day outing, with a tour bus handling travel from Sapporo between stops.

Your expert guide keeps the day flowing, sharing local insight at Kimobetsu Snow Park, Lake Toya, Toyako Onsen, Lake Shikotsu, and Mt. Moiwa.

At Kimobetsu Snow Park, enjoy snow play areas and photo stops, and if you want more speed, opt for a paid snowmobile ride during your break.

Later, take in Lake Shikotsu in its winter setting and, when in season, wander the Ice Festival before a Mt. Moiwa panorama at night.

Upgrade to a package with the Mt. Moiwa Ropeway ticket included, so your ride up the mountain is prepaid and part of the tour instead of extra.
