Arriving in Hokkaido on a direct flight from Singapore, head to Lake Shikotsu to enjoy scenic views around the second deepest lake in Japan.

Take a relaxing stroll along its shores and surround yourself with the grandness of nature at this photogenic location.
 
Warm your tummies with a delicious meal of barbequed meats next at the cosy Log House Wagyu Bibi Restaurant. Feast on juicy, tender wagyu beef and more at this table barbeque restaurant, guaranteed to satisfy your taste buds.
 
Stopping by at the Noboribetsu Hell Valley, you can see the source of Noboribetsu’s hot spring waters which you will get to enjoy tonight. With patches of barren landscape, clouds of steam spouting from vents, flowing streams of hot spring water and the heavy smell of sulphur permeating the air, it is not difficult to understand why this place is called “hell valley”.

Following a warm lunch, head to the Shikotsu-Toya National Park to see Mt Usu, an active volcano that stands at 737 metres high.

Next, head to Fukidashi Park and sample the sweet spring water that flows down from Mt. Yotei, Hokkaido’s Mt. Fuji. Nestled at the foot of the mountain, 80,000 tons of water filtered down from the peak gushes out each day. Don’t forget to do as the locals do and bring an empty bottle to collect some of it!
