予約段階からすごく融通をきかせて頂けてのですごく助かりました。日本酒を熱燗にして、酒を飲みながら食べる釣りたてのワカサギは最高で、プライスレスな体験となりました。 防寒としては、ワカサギ釣り自体はとても暖かいところでの釣りになりますので、そこまでのものは不要です。ファットバイクはやっている間に暖かくなりますが、天候によっては寒いと思うので、手袋とネックウォーマーがあるとすごく快適。 また必ず利用したいと思います。

They react quickly to anything that moves and swallow them whole with their large mouths. There are many unusual names for fish, but the standard Japanese name "Oyanirami" is said to have been given because of the way the male protects the eggs, "the parent glares", but there are various theories about the origin of the Japanese name.

This is definitely a recommended plan for those who want to enjoy Hokkaido's winter to the fullest. Depart from Sapporo and experience snowshoeing and dog sledding in the Furano and Biei-machi areas, central Hokkaido. Enjoy local gourmet food, soak in the hot springs, and then enjoy a delicious dinner at the hotel before heading home. We recommend the one-day adventure course. Our guides recommend this exciting adventure, where the sights change depending on the season.
Excellent tour!!! Our guide Kishi was great and we had an overall great experience. The only but for this tour is that the dog sledding is only 2 very short laps of about 1 minute each. I wish the dog sledding was at least 30 minute long. Everything else was really good.
