    A great tour where you...

    A great tour where you get to see many of the sites close to Sapporo. One of the few tours that does not go to the Bear ranch, which is a positive. The drive includes some beautiful scenery. Tour guide (Helen) could have provided more info at some sites, however, understand the may be a slight language barrier.

    Noboribetsu & Toya Day tour.

    The day covers lots of sightseeing spots, the weather cooperates and make a misty and dreamy background for beautiful pics. The tourist guide Andy is helpful, cute and funny even though his English is so so. Driver is friendly and accommodating. This tour is worth the money 👍.

    Spectacular views

    I did not care about Toyaku onsen, wanted more time at Hell’s valley. Visiting Mt. Usu by the ropeway was a great experience with great views. The Silo viewing point had great views to the lake, the islands and Mt. Yotei. Our guide, Allan, was knowledgeable and helpful.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your review! We are happy to hear that you had a great time visiting Mt. Usu and the Silo viewing point, and we are grateful for your kind words about your guide, Allan. We have taken your feedback about the time spent at Toyako Onsen and Hell’s Valley seriously. We will consider your suggestions for future tour improvements. We hope to see you again.

    Good tour to visit various sites in one day

    The tour does a good job at seeing various sites in the Noboribetsu and Toya area. As is expected in these tours, one only gets to see each site for a 30 to 1.5 hour period. Our guide Akiko was very helpful and informative - she was a great guide. Our driver Hashimoto was very careful and skilled given the varied road conditions in winter.

    With Lunch│Mt. Usu Ropeway, Noboribetsu, Lake Shikotsu Day Trip: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does With Lunch│Mt. Usu Ropeway, Noboribetsu, Lake Shikotsu Day Trip cost?

    +

    Prices start at $72 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 With Lunch│Mt. Usu Ropeway, Noboribetsu, Lake Shikotsu Day Trip take?

    +

    Plan for about 10 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 With Lunch│Mt. Usu Ropeway, Noboribetsu, Lake Shikotsu Day Trip worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Sapporo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule With Lunch│Mt. Usu Ropeway, Noboribetsu, Lake Shikotsu Day Trip?

    +

    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 With Lunch│Mt. Usu Ropeway, Noboribetsu, Lake Shikotsu Day Trip suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book With Lunch│Mt. Usu Ropeway, Noboribetsu, Lake Shikotsu Day Trip?

    +

    Around 2 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does With Lunch│Mt. Usu Ropeway, Noboribetsu, Lake Shikotsu Day Trip 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, Mondo's most popular No.1!Private experienceThe king of buckwheat noodles making and Japanese food in Sapporo!A plan to enjoy tempura!. 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.
