Lake Shikotsu is Japan's northernmost unfrozen lake. In winter, the leaves fall, and the snow covers the land in a blanket of white. With temperatures below freezing and winds picking up, it can be described as a harsh natural environment. The beauty of this time of year lies in the unique scenery it offers. This winter cruise primarily focuses on the source of the Chitose River, Lake Shikotsu's outlet, which is relatively unaffected by wind and waves. The colder it gets, the more beautiful the waterfront becomes during the harsh winter months of December through February, and there are plenty of unique experiences to enjoy. While the lake may seem cold in winter, our guides will show you how to enjoy the lake in winter, searching for wildlife and its traces, and photographing the ice. This program involves connecting two canoes to enhance stability, and a guide will also be on board.

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!!

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.

A private tour can accommodate a variety of requests in a private space. [Private Winter Canoeing Recommendations] 1. This is an activity where you ride with a guide in a stable twin canoe. Therefore, even if you're worried about your first canoeing experience, wondering if you're physically strong enough to paddle, or wondering what to do if you get wet, rest assured. Enjoy the winter scenery at your own pace in a safe, dry environment. ② We offer complimentary rentals of various items, including winter wear from Montbell and winter boots from Sorel, perfect for even the harshest winters. Even if you're unsure of the appropriate attire for canoeing in Hokkaido's winter or worried about carrying extra luggage just for this trip, you can still join the tour without worrying about the cold by wearing warm clothes. ③ You can choose your tour time. You can freely choose the tour time based on your schedule and preferences. Please select your preferred time when booking in advance. (This may be subject to change depending on the situation on the day.) The 150-minute course is our most recommended course, allowing you to fully enjoy the winter scenery. You can fully appreciate the unique winter scenery of Hokkaido, including the view from the water. The 90-minute and 120-minute courses are recommended for those worried about the cold, or for families with small children or elderly people. Your guide will do his best to ensure that you can fully enjoy the winter nature of Lake Shikotsu even in the short time you have.

Enjoy the popular SUP experience on the Toyohira River that flows through Sapporo! Enjoy the scenery while standing or sitting on a board in the field of the valley next to Jozankei Onsen. The average depth of the river is about 1 meter and the current is gentle, so there is no need to worry if you fall into the water. Some people dive by themselves when they get used to it. Children can participate because it is shallow. This plan is also OK for “Dog-chan SUP” to participate with your dog! It is also recommended to wear a life jacket (bring your own or rent one) and have a good time with your dog♪

Even if you are a first-time canoeist, you can go canoeing down the Mimi River. It is a wonderful field that is hard to find even in Japan. The guide will ride in a separate canoe from the customer, and you will be the only one to steer the canoe and leisurely go down through the wetlands where there are many waterfowl. During the tour, you can learn about the history of the Mimi River and the Ainu, and other stories unique to this area, while canoeing and learning from the guide. The field is near New Chitose Airport, and the Mimi River can be seen from the sky when planes take off and land. This is a recommended tour that is perfect for a honeymoon or family trip that you can remember every time you visit Hokkaido in the future. "The tour was fun, but we don't have any photos!!" "We came together, but we don't have any photos of the two of us!!" During the tour, we will give away photos taken with a single-lens reflex camera to anyone who wants them. [Tour Recommendations 1.2.3] ① The river flows slowly, and even at its deepest, it is only about waist-deep for adults, so it is a very shallow river, so you can rest assured. You will not be sharing the canoe. ② There are surprisingly few travel photos! ! Gateway Tours will give you digital photos of your tour! You cannot take photos of yourself in a canoe from inside the canoe. Photos taken in a canoe are memories that will last a lifetime. This service is only available at Gateway Tours! It's worth participating just for the photos. ③You can rest assured that your guide is an outdoor master guide certified by the Hokkaido Prefectural Governor, and also has other guide qualifications, rescue qualifications, and first aid qualifications. *If you are participating with your family or alone, please apply from another plan. https://activityjapan.com/search/?addressAndKeyword=Gateway+Tours
