Lake Shikotsu
A beautiful lake surrounded by majestic nature appears when you run through the endless virgin forest. It is Japan's northernmost ice-free lake (a lake that does not freeze even in winter), and was selected as "the cleanest water in the country" by the Environment Agency, and is known for one of the most crestal-clear water in the country.
Lake Shikotsu Hyoto Ice Festival will be held from February 1 to February 24.
Note1: Dates are subject to change due to weather conditions.
Note2: Admission fee is not included in the tour. Please pay 1000 JPY by yourself at the venue.
Lake Toya
A caldera lake that was created by a volcanic eruption about 100,000 years ago. We will have lunch at Toya Kohan-tei on the shores of Lake Toya. After lunch, take a leisurely stroll along the shores of Lake Toya in front of you.
Mt. Usu
It was designated as the first global geopark in Japan in August 2009, which is a natural park where you enjoy the earth while being supported by nature observation trails, commentary signs and guides. You can take a ropeway tour to the top of Mt. Usu.
This is a recommended winter course that allows you to visit two representative lakes of Hokkaido in one day.
