[Early Booking 28] Guaranteed to operate per group, per tent. Enjoy smelt fishing + more one-day experience 2025-26

This limited-time plan is for guests with early reservations. Bookings made 28 days in advance offer a special discount. Otherwise, it's the same as our regular plan. Enjoy smelt fishing in the ponds and riverbeds of the Ishikari River system, approximately 50 minutes from Sapporo city center. In this COVID-19 era, we must avoid crowded fishing in tents measuring roughly 3.3 m². We must adhere to the new Hokkaido guidelines and the Go To Travel campaign while also providing a relaxing winter experience. Therefore, we've decided to offer a private plan where guests set up tents on the ice, drill holes in the ice, fish, and enjoy tastings. This private plan, limited to a limited number of groups, offers a truly authentic Hokkaido experience. You'll cast your fishing line through a hole drilled in the thickly frozen river surface to target smelt swarming beneath the ice. The smelt you catch can be enjoyed as tempura or fried chicken. We use a private, farm-built greenhouse, ensuring thorough protection against the cold. A free shuttle service is available from Sapporo city center on tour days for convenient round-trip transportation. If you're lucky, you might even spot a red fox, a white-tailed eagle, or a whooper swan! Why not spend a day enjoying the special natural scenery? While this plan is generally a full-day experience, including a day off, you can also choose to enjoy sledding at a nearby ski resort, try snowshoeing in a vacant lot, or stop by a delicious local farm restaurant, Jingisukan (mongrel mutton barbecue), or ramen shop for a "nearly full-day exclusive plan" tailored for our guests. Please feel free to take advantage of this fun-filled day of play, produced by local tourism development professionals.

It is an honest and inconvenient plan that is the opposite of convenient fishing. That's why you can know the taste of smelt fishing on ice. We have realized a more authentic adventure tourism by playing together in the midst of Hokkaido people enjoying winter fishing, which is not dramatized. However, the guide will do the detailed work and feeding the animals, so a little help, such as drilling holes in the ice, will be enough. It would be great if you could experience Hokkaido people fishing for smelt like this!! *Those who want to experience ice fishing in half-day units can use the well-maintained fishing spots in Sapporo. is recommended. (Intermediation etc. are possible)

For beginners of fishing, in principle, one group of guides is assigned. Please leave the troublesome feeding and follow-up to remove the fish when you catch it. Of course, please leave us a commemorative photo, a story about Hokkaido such as wild animals, a stop at a delicious shop, and a little snow play. We will firmly support your special experience. Please enjoy it as a coordinator and a private tour to spend the day happily.

Wakasagi fishing is the main content, but our greatest strength is that you can fully utilize the things in the area and have fun. You can enjoy sledding on nearby slopes (Moerenuma Park, etc.) on a large sled that carries equipment, walk along the riverbed with snowshoes, have lunch at a delicious restaurant in the area, or visit a famous local restaurant. You can set up various pleasures, such as visiting sake breweries. Depending on the fishing spot, we are particular about the trip itself, such as stopping by a directly managed store of Royce, which is extremely well-known in Hokkaido, buying lunch at Seicomart in Hokkaido, and visiting a fishing tackle shop. Although it is sightseeing in Hokkaido, the tourism professionals who have been involved in the middle will provide solid support. Of course, please feel free to leave it to us!
