Private tour/White Season TOYA
Winter Hokkaido! Its cold! Its snowy everywhere!
Like to see "Hokkaido-ish" scenery / take photo of that!
Been here in summer time. Where is beutiful in winter? How do we get there?
Scared of driving on snow/ice. Not a ski/snowboard type, but want to enjoy winter Hokkaido.
We can arrange a special tour just for you! Let us look for "only in winter" snow scenes.
This tour is normally for 3 hours to enjoy winter lake Toya.
we can go further if we had a whole day.
Looking for winter scenery just for you. This is a private tour primarily to take scenery photos.
Have a charger/spare battery for your devices, fill yours along way looking for good local lunch.
We can prepare winter boots and jacket/pants.
Play with snow, enjoy the scenery, entertain your stomach.
Feel the crisp air, take lots of photo, have good kinda local food.
You`ve been working pretty hard, so pamper yourself with snow this time!
We instruct the activity and guide the lake, Hokkaido nature in English when we do an English tour.
It would be easier for you to communicate if we talk directly.
That makes your tour safer, also you could hear more about Hokkaido nature from the guide.
You do not need a translator on board. We charge 2000 JPY/person/hour as an English-guiding fee.
e.g.) Canoeing short touring is 1.5 hour tour = 3000 JPY/person is added to the original fare.
