Plan description

The quiet winter at Lake Shikotsu. Located within Shikotsu-Toya National Park, this is a field where you can experience Hokkaido's natural beauty to the fullest. Instead of touring various locations, you can settle down in one place and enjoy Lake Shikotsu in winter at your own pace without being rushed. The Lake Shikotsu Private Snow Walk is a private tour with a dedicated guide. Enjoy Hokkaido's winter to the fullest at your own pace. You can choose from two routes: 1) "Enjoy Winter" - Silver Forest 2) "A World of Snow" - Secret Wetlands.

Enjoy your own time

This is an activity where you will be guided by a dedicated guide. You will be the only group participating, so you will not be made to wait or rushed. You can customize your experience to suit your needs and enjoy a special time. Those who are worried about their physical strength or those trying snowshoeing for the first time can join the tour with peace of mind.

Please use rental items.

You can rent Montbell winter wear, winter gloves, knit hats, and Sorel winter boots for free. You can also participate even if you don't have your own gear.
