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.
