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.
