Enjoy smelt fishing on ice at Mt. Akagi Onuma! Enjoy the ice on the lake called Onuma in the summit area of Mt. Akagi in Maebashi City, Gunma Prefecture, 2 hours from Tokyo. There is also an area within walking distance where you can play in the snow, Akagi Shrine, which is said to grant women's wishes, and Torii Pass, where you can enjoy a spectacular view without having to climb the mountain. You can catch smelt on the ice in the morning, and you can enjoy the spectacular view of hoarfrost in the early morning, so it is recommended to stay the night before and experience it. You can enjoy it with friends, as a couple, or with children. It's below freezing, but the snail-shaped tent keeps you warm inside. Just standing on a frozen lake is an impressive experience! There is also a chance to see ice bubbles until early February!

Smelt fishing that feels like a fishing pond near Ishikari Bay New Port, which is close to Sapporo city. If you want to catch smelt, but the ice has not frozen yet, or if the ice has melted, we recommend this option for those who just want to enjoy fishing, or those who just want to catch a fish. The Ishikari Discharge Channel, a shortcut that connects the Ibarato River to Ishikari Bay, is a hidden spot for smelt fishing. The seawall is well maintained and you can enjoy it as if you were at a fishing pond. The location of smelt changes depending on the weather, and if your hunch is right, you may catch up to 40 smelt in an hour. Why not try fishing during the recommended time? Basically, you can take your catch home, but if you really want to try it as tempura, please contact us. On your way home after fishing, please stop by tourist facilities and scenic spots to enjoy a fulfilling day. *Free transportation is available from hotels in the center of Sapporo, such as in front of Sapporo Station.
