A seasonal feature of winter in Hokkaido! Enjoy ice fishing on a frozen lake (ice smelt fishing). Located 10 minutes from Memanbetsu Airport, the gateway to the skies of Okhotsk, Lake Memanbetsu is a place where you can enjoy smelt fishing every year by drilling a hole in the frozen lake surface. Our professional outdoor guides will take you to the fishing spot while taking you to and from the hotel or airport. This is the most popular winter activity, as you can eat the smelt you catch as tempura on the spot. We will provide you with the equipment, so you can participate empty-handed! ♪ A guide will accompany you, so even first-time fishers can feel at ease. 1. Smelt fishing experience: Experience the thrilling and fun ice smelt fishing that is unique to Hokkaido in winter. You can drill a hole in the ice and feel a sense of accomplishment in catching the fish yourself. Of course, since you are dealing with nature, there may be few hits. 2. Support for beginners: The guide will provide friendly support so that even beginners can participate with confidence. They will carefully teach you how to use the equipment and how to attach bait. 3. Drilling holes using an ice drill: This experience includes drilling holes in the ice yourself using an ice drill, so you can actively participate even in the cold. 4. Lake Abashiri is one of the most famous places in Japan as a sacred place for smelt fishing, and anglers come from all over the country. We will guide you to Lake Abashiri, one of Hokkaido's leading smelt fishing spots. You can enjoy fishing on the lake, catch as many as you want to eat, and enjoy the fresh smelt as freshly fried tempura. 5. Peace of mind in a warm tent: A tent is set up to protect you from the cold, and the freshly caught smelt is fried on the spot and made into tempura. We offer a special time in a warm tent with fresh flavors.

Many people are surprised that general snowshoe tours are more physically taxing than they expected, so we thought, "Can we have a more casual and easy way to experience a snowy forest?" From that point of view, we developed a plan that does not involve climbing, is not physically taxing, feels like a walk, and is a short plan to "experience a real snowy forest" (I know that sounds a bit exaggerated, lol). The time is quite leisurely and can be completed within 1.5 hours (adults who walk fast can finish in about an hour). Although it is a walk-like time and distance, you will experience a real and authentic forest. You can enjoy a short time of trekking in a real forest while taking photos. *Please note* Since you will be walking in snow, please wear shoes that can walk in snow. (You cannot walk in the snow in normal shoes) I think that wearing rain boots with your ski wear will be the easiest way to move around (please refer to the photos of the participants). Rain boots that do not make your toes cold (you can wear them as they are, but it will be more comfortable if you put in warm insoles, even simple ones sold at 100 yen stores. It is also better if the boots are long so that snow does not get in. If the snow is very deep, we will rent snowshoes for free, so I think it is best to participate in snow boots or rain boots.)
