In the era of with corona, it is necessary to avoid fishing methods that are densely packed in a tent of about 1 tsubo with shared seats, trace the new Hokkaido guidelines and Go To travel, and at the same time provide the enjoyment of winter without hesitation. increase. Therefore, we decided to set up a tent on the ice with our customers, make holes in the ice, fish, sample and enjoy the event. Of course, with a limited number of groups (private plan), we have condensed the play of Hokkaido in the middle. A fishing line is hung from a hole made in the thickly frozen river surface to aim at the smelt swarming under the ice. You can enjoy the caught smelt as a tasting such as tempura and fried chicken. We use a farmer's home-made house, so we have perfect protection against the cold. On the day of the event, a free shuttle car is operated from the center of Sapporo city, making it convenient for round trips. If you are lucky, you may see red foxes, white-tailed eagles, and tundra swans. Why do not you experience a day to enjoy the special nature? Basically, it will be a one-day experience plan with lunch in between, but if you wish, you can enjoy sledding at a nearby ski resort on the route, try snowshoeing in a vacant lot, or have a local experience. It is a "almost one day charter plan" for customers that you can do while stopping by delicious farm restaurants, Genghis Khan, ramen shops, etc. Please feel free to make use of it for a day of fun-filled play produced by local tourism professionals.
