Green season Lake Aoki/Lake Nakatsuna smelt boat fishing, tempura and day camp includes a tempura set rental, so it is a recommended plan for those who want to enjoy smelt fishing and tempura casually! The opening of the winter smelt hole fishing at Lake Nakatsuna depends on the weather and smelt resources. It was not opened in 2024 and 2023. It was opened in 2022, but not in 2021. This area is a cold region with a lot of snow. When there is a lot of snow, the snow acts as a cold protection and true ice does not form. Snow and ice form, but they cannot support the weight of a human. The hours for hole fishing at Lake Nakatsuna are 7:00-16:00 (2025 is undecided). We accept hole fishing by request reservation from February 5th to February 16th, 2025, but please note that hole fishing may not be possible. There are two sets available: Winter Lake Nakatsuna Smelt Hole Fishing Set + Tempura Set Rental and Winter Lake Nakatsuna Smelt Hole Fishing Set. The Winter Lake Nakatsuna Smelt Hole Fishing Set + Tempura Set Rental includes a tempura set rental, so it is a recommended plan for those who want to casually enjoy smelt fishing and tempura! Even beginners can participate with peace of mind in the guided course. Available periods are 4/25-5/15, 9/10-10/25. If you would like a guided course, please contact us in advance to apply. (We may not be able to arrange a guide.)

Speaking of winter lake Smelt fishing, Nagano You can fish on the dome boat in Kizakiko prefecture. If it is a dome, snow, rain, and wind will prevent it, so it is comfortable even in cold winter. In addition to the east coast this season, it is installed on the west coast and is a power-up! The fun has also increased. The smelt is a small fish, but the response I made is very interesting! In addition, Lake Kizaki is clean and water is delicious, so smelt is delicious! And the fish is beautiful! It is also very popular from people outside the prefecture.

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.
