About this experience

Immerse yourself in Hokkaido's natural beauty with our seasonal Hoheikyo Tour. Starting from Sapporo, you'll first journey to the breathtaking Hoheikyo Dam—a perfect spot for nature lovers and photographers. After exploring the dam, you'll be brought to Hoheikyo Onsen, where you can relax in a natural outdoor hot spring bath surrounded by beautiful forest scenery. This tour is the perfect way to escape the city and rejuvenate your mind and body. Ideal for those hunting Japan's 'koyo' fall colors, we highly recommend visiting in the autumn when you'll be treated to a stunning panorama of crimson and amber foliage reflecting off the dam's turquoise reservoir.

What you'll see and do

  1. Arriving from Sapporo Station at 11:30, our tour begins here at The Hoheikyo Dam. The Hoheikyo Dam is nestled deep in the Toyohira River valley, at the entrance to Shikotsu-Toya National Park, southwest of Sapporo, near the Jozankei Onsen area. The reservoir lake, created by the dam, is a calm, turquoise mirror reflecting the mountains—a striking contrast to the towering dam wall. In autumn (October), this becomes one of the best koyo (fall foliage) spots near Sapporo, with vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows blanketing the mountainsides. Hoheikyo Dam offers panoramic views all around. The walking trails (The Dam Loop Trail, Dam Crest Walk) are easy, paved paths leading to the dam, lake, and surrounding forest trails, suitable for all ages.

Autumn Tour from Sapporo Hoheikyo Dam and Hoheikyo Onsen: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sapporo.

How much does Autumn Tour from Sapporo Hoheikyo Dam and Hoheikyo Onsen cost?

+

Prices start at $13000 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sapporo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Autumn Tour from Sapporo Hoheikyo Dam and Hoheikyo Onsen take?

+

Plan for about 9.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sapporo is not rushed.

Is Autumn Tour from Sapporo Hoheikyo Dam and Hoheikyo Onsen worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sapporo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Autumn Tour from Sapporo Hoheikyo Dam and Hoheikyo Onsen?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Autumn Tour from Sapporo Hoheikyo Dam and Hoheikyo Onsen suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Autumn Tour from Sapporo Hoheikyo Dam and Hoheikyo Onsen?

+

Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sapporo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sapporo and add a light layer if any part of the 9.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Autumn Tour from Sapporo Hoheikyo Dam and Hoheikyo Onsen start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sapporo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Sapporo?

+

On Outty we rank every Sapporo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sapporo Bar Hopping Food Tour, Wagashi traditional japanese sweets class, Sapporo Private Tour with a Local – Highlights & Hidden Gems. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Sapporo?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Sapporo?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
