That is why so many ammonites and plant fossils are discovered in the geological formations of Hokkaido. The Yubari Mountains on the west side of Furano are a treasure trove of fossils. Since this is an experience in nature, there is no guarantee that you will be able to collect 100% fossils. Please understand this before participating.

This half-day experience, available only with same-day reservations, focuses on fishing while the guide uses his or her favorite fishing techniques. Sometimes the guide's time opens up unexpectedly, and the guide often enjoys the opportunity to scout locations and have fun with the fish. Rather than being hardcore fishing enthusiasts, the guide often enjoys letting the fish play with him or her. Perhaps it's just a desire to be tickled from time to time. The true joy of fishing is encapsulated in the excitement of casting the line and luring the fish, the feeling of the hook when you pull, the thrill of setting the hook, and the sense of accomplishment when you finally catch something. However, if you try to do it by imitating others during the initial introduction, you often end up just waiting. I was one of those people, even though I'm now a guide and writing this guide. It's easy to understand the hesitation of asking knowledgeable acquaintances or friends, and the hesitation of suddenly trying to fish alone. You'll also likely have to consider what to do with the fish you catch. This plan is designed as a prologue to your first fishing experience. Generally, you won't be surrounded by other customers, so you can enjoy your time without any worries. We'll help you fully develop your five and sixth senses through fishing, helping you take it to the next level. We'll cover the basics of fishing equipment, using tools that everyone knows and can find at 100-yen shops. Once you know the equipment, you can get it yourself. We can also provide equipment upon request. The trip will take place near Ishikari Bay New Port, near Sapporo. Each guide has their own specialty, but we hope you'll enjoy the joy of catching fish no matter what method you use. Nearby, there are famous restaurants like Costco Ishikari, Sato Suisan Salmon Factory, and Ramen Shingen, so there's plenty to enjoy after fishing. We're here to support your debut!

Glass chips called millefiori are lined up on colorful plate glass. After that, when it is fired in an electric furnace, the glass melts and the colored patterns look like mosaic art.
