In the era of with corona, it is necessary to avoid fishing methods that are densely packed in a tent of about 1 tsubo with shared seats, trace the new Hokkaido guidelines and Go To travel, and at the same time provide the enjoyment of winter without hesitation. increase. Therefore, we decided to set up a tent on the ice with our customers, make holes in the ice, fish, sample and enjoy the event. Of course, with a limited number of groups (private plan), we have condensed the play of Hokkaido in the middle. A fishing line is hung from a hole made in the thickly frozen river surface to aim at the smelt swarming under the ice. You can enjoy the caught smelt as a tasting such as tempura and fried chicken. We use a farmer's home-made house, so we have perfect protection against the cold. On the day of the event, a free shuttle car is operated from the center of Sapporo city, making it convenient for round trips. If you are lucky, you may see red foxes, white-tailed eagles, and tundra swans. Why do not you experience a day to enjoy the special nature? Basically, it will be a one-day experience plan with lunch in between, but if you wish, you can enjoy sledding at a nearby ski resort on the route, try snowshoeing in a vacant lot, or have a local experience. It is a "almost one day charter plan" for customers that you can do while stopping by delicious farm restaurants, Genghis Khan, ramen shops, etc. Please feel free to make use of it for a day of fun-filled play produced by local tourism professionals.

This half-day fishing experience, supported by a natural sciences college graduate, focuses on fishing using the guide's specialized techniques. The thrill of fishing is encapsulated in the excitement of casting the line, the feeling of the hook when you pull, the thrill of striking the hook, and the sense of accomplishment when you finally catch something. However, if you try to imitate others during the initial introduction, you often end up just waiting. I, now a guide and guide, was one of those people. I understand the hesitation of asking a friend or acquaintance who knows more about the process, and the hesitation of trying out fishing alone. You may also have to decide what to do with the fish you catch. This plan is designed as a prologue to your first fishing experience. You'll generally be surrounded by no other guests, so you can enjoy the experience without any hesitation. We'll help you fully develop your five and sixth senses through fishing, helping you build on them to the next level. We'll also provide basic fishing equipment, including items commonly found at 100-yen shops. Once you know the equipment, you can prepare everything yourself. We can also provide the equipment if you wish. The trip will take place near Ishikari Bay New Port, close to Sapporo. Each guide has their own specialty, but we hope you will enjoy the joy of catching a fish no matter what method you use. There are also famous restaurants nearby, such as Costco Ishikari, Sato Suisan Salmon Factory, and Ramen Shingen, so there is plenty to enjoy even after fishing. We look forward to supporting your debut!!

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.
